Thirty years ago, on 26 September 1990, Origin Systems released Wing Commander for MS-DOS, the first game in what would be a very long-running and expansive series of prominent videogames.

Three reasons why I'm so excited to have celebrated author, Erin Carlson, back on Shelf Life: she's written another brilliant book, she never tires of talking about Nora Ephron and she makes me laugh until my sides hurt. There are also dozens of other reasons but we'll stick with these three for today. Last September, my dear friend published her second book, Queen Meryl, and it's no surprise that people, including myself, fell in love with it. I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy so I've been shouting about this book since June 2019. And it's been my absolute pleasure. For those who tuned in to our first episode in December 2018, you'll know that Erin and I share a mutual love for Nora Ephron. However, it’s Queen Meryl who is the star of today’s episode and I highly recommend that you rush out to the bookstore and buy Erin’s brilliant book. With chapter titles like Meryl Goes Nuclear and Meryl the Immortal, this book will likely have you laughing until your sides hurt. But like a gripping performance by Meryl herself, there are definitely moments of surprise and mystery in this book. Did you know that Meryl once mooned the director of The River Wild? Talk about being cheeky! In our short but very delicious chat, Erin and I discuss everything about Meryl Streep - her 1983 commencement address at Vassar - her alma mater - how and why she brings out the best in her male co-stars and our top five Meryl films. Oh, and we managed to save some time to talk about Nora at the end. Just in case you were worried. To quote the amazing Stanley Tucci, all right everyone, gird your loins and get ready for another episode with the brilliant Erin Carlson.

Last September, I picked up Reverend Doug Craig at the Abbotsford Airport and was fortunate enough to have him as a guest for two high-energy, fascinating days of non-stop conversation. His in-person talk in our CSL White Rock hall, ‘Living Your Heart’s Desire,’ was so popular that it resulted in his workshop, ‘Moving Forward,’ to be full of intrigued, furiously-note-taking fans. In fact, I still refer to Rev. Doug’s ‘Tool Kit’ on my cellphone’s note-taking app. I was in awe to know that he was flying home to Calgary to prepare for his incredibly booked-up Christmas season career as a professional Santa Claus. His life and stories are so rich in experiences and intriguing that I know I will be first in line to purchase his book - should he ever decide to write one. I encourage you to listen to his insight, wisdom, and candid truth with great interest and enthusiasm – pen and notepaper ready. I encourage you to make time for his talk ... and you may want to take notes. How thankful I am that we now record all our talks so we can serve you better.

Welcome to Majority.FM's AM QUICKIE! Brought to you by justcoffee.coop TODAY'S HEADLINES: U.S. coronavirus cases passed 3 million on Tuesday, a grim milestone that we flew past a breakneck speed, as Florida’s ICU’s start to hit capacity all at once and the president uses his time to officially withdraw the country from the World Health Organization and push to reopen schools. Meanwhile, a new report by the Intercept shows that oxycodone death-dealer Purdue made political contributions even after it went bankrupt, showing that there are no depths too low for the Sackler family of murderers. And lastly, Tucker Carlson launched a wave of aggressive, racist attacks against Sen. Tammy Duckworth and Rep. Ilhan Omar, who dared to suggest that the U.S. supports a quote “system of oppression.” THESE ARE THE STORIES YOU NEED TO KNOW: The coronavirus hit a grim new milestone on Tuesday: 3 million cases in the United States alone. According to CNN, the country averaged almost 50,000 new cases per day last week, more than double the rate of a month ago. Texas alone reported more than 10,000 cases on Tuesday. Trump’s head of the coronavirus task force, Dr. Deborah Birx, noted that the Administration hadn’t expected the massive community spread among young people, who had generally been pretty diligent about social distancing. Put this all together, and we’ve got a horrifying summer ahead. The Trump administration, meanwhile, is following through on its flailing attempts to pass the buck to the WHO, formally announcing on Tuesday that the U.S. will leave the international organization. It’s still a mostly empty threat: the U.S. won’t back out until April of 2021, so if Trump loses in November, Biden or whoever ends up in the Oval could just keep us in. But Trump’s not content to just sabotage U.S. participation in international organizations -- he’s actively making the crisis worse at home. The new benchmark the Trump admin wants is for schools to reopen in the fall, which is a step that many schools do not want to do. Yesterday we talked about the completely absurd student visa rule, which the New York Times reports could be part of Trump’s plan to exert pressure on schools to offer in-person classes. In other words, he’s holding schools’ students hostage in deportation purgatory to try to force them to reopen in a pandemic. Just so we’re clear about what’s going on here. Bankrupt Purdue Bankrolls Politicians Purdue Pharma, the drug company owned for years by the Sackler family, is one of the most evil corporations in the world. That much is not really up for debate at this point: for decades, Purdue almost singlehandedly created the modern U.S. opioid crisis by aggressively marketing their deadly narcotic oxycodone to any patient who had so much as a toothache. Last September, Purdue filed for bankruptcy, the product of a mountain of lawsuits filed by cities seeking some sort of justice for the addiction epidemic it unleashed on their streets. But the Sacklers pulled a fast one on the plaintiffs, making off with over 10 billion in company funds. According to a new report by the Intercept, the drug giant still had enough left over to make political donations. The Intercept reports that Purdue gave $50,000 to both the Democratic Governors Association and the Republican Governors Association in December of 2019, months after filing for bankruptcy, and right on time to sway politicians as states debate whether or not to put more taxes on opioids. To date, only 5 states have implemented a tax on opioids. The 50 grand to Dems and Republicans might not seem like much, but remember that Purdue was donating much larger sums to parties involved in these decisions before it got sued into oblivion. The company itself may be bankrupt, but the Sacklers are doing just fine, and their billions will surely keep growing, fed by the blood of the American working class. Tucker Carlson Does Racism Again Tucker Carlson is at it again. And by “it,” we mean racism and general bigotry. Imagine that! The latest controversy swept up both Rep. Ilhan Omar, a favorite target of the ruling racists in the country, as well as Sen. Tammy Duckworth. It all culminated in an unforgettable Tucker moment in which he put up photos of Omar and Duckworth side by side with a full-screen chyron stating quote “We have to fight to preserve our nation and heritage.” Endquote. That’s only ten words, but it’s pretty close to white nationalist America’s favorite 14-word slogan. It started on Monday night, when Carlson mocked Duckworth for saying that we needed to have a national conversation over the removal of racist Confederate monuments. Carlson acknowledged Duckworth’s military service, but then called her a quote “deeply silly,” “unimpressive person,” and suggested that she hates America. Duckworth, who lost both of her legs in Iraq, shot back on Twitter, asking Carlson to quote “walk a mile in my legs.” Carlson wasn’t cowed, and dragged Ilhan Omar into the already-stupid hating American controversy on Tuesday night, after the congresswoman said in a press conference that America had a quote “system of oppression.” All of this led to the unforgettable chyron during Tucker’s show on Tuesday night. There’s some context to this: Duckworth is reportedly on the long or maybe short list for Biden’s VP slot, and Omar is one of the racist Conservative press’s favorite targets. Linking the two of them is probably advantageous to everyone, like Tucker, who wants to see Trump get a second term. Let’s uh... make sure that doesn’t happen, especially to see the look on Carlson’s face.

My guest today is Bianca Peay.  On Wednesday, June 3rd, 2020, the citizens of San Ramon, California, came together for the Black Lives Matter peaceful protest, organized by Bianca.   In front of city hall, to a crowd of hundreds of people, Bianca spoke: "We are all simply trying to get through life.  But there is nothing simple about being black in America." In telling her own story at the rally, Bianca tells the crowd that she was born in Philadelphia, and lived in a one bedroom apartment with her mom.  They needed food stamps to eat. Only when her mom cut off her dreadlocks and straightened her hair was she able to get a job in corporate America and change their financial situation.  Years later, they now live in an affluent area of San Ramon. Bianca says, "We didn't just walk into this neighborhood, we struggled, and we deserve to be here. We are tired, we are fed up, and we deserve basic human rights. I feel like we as a community can make that happen. I wish peace and love and justice to every person here. I pray for positive energy and harmony, despite our cultural differences. It is beautiful that we live in a community so diverse. I want us to all live in peace. " Bianca has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area with her family since 2013. Last September she graduated from cosmetology school. She loves to do hair for fun and luckily has been able to make a job out of it. Bianca is also a sucker for some good food, a quality movie, and surrounding herself with people that bring love and good energy. Join me in listening to Bianca's story. 

Last September at the Labour Day Picnic in Riverside Park, there were already signs that it was going to be a long year at the province’s schools. The contract with all four teachers’ unions in Ontario had expired, and the Ontario government was in no mood to approve new spending or pay raises for teachers and other school workers employed at our Catholic and separate public schools. That was only the beginning. This week on the podcast, we're going to talk about the end with two leaders of the local branches of our teachers' unions. What began with an expired contract on August 31, exacerbated by legislation limiting raises by one per cent in October, and accelerated with rotating strikes in the winter, ended rather anticlimactically once schools closed because of COVID-19. With weeks, all four teachers' unions secured a new contract in March. So what are the leaders of the unions thinking now? This week we're joined by Mark Berardine, the president of Ontario English Catholic Teachers’ Association (OECTA) Wellington, and Jennifer Hesch, the president of the Upper Grand Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario (ETFO). In separate interviews, they talk about the process, the negotiations, and the eventual deals. They also talk about the various tactics employed by the teachers’ unions, and how they were able to hang on to the support of parents. And they’ll discuss what the unions have learned from dealing with the Ford government, and whether or not they would still be striking now if it weren't for COVID-19. So let's recap this year of labour strife at school on this week's edition of the Guelph Politicast! Note: Paul Rawlinson, the president of the Ontario Secondary School Teachers' Federation District 18 was invited to take part in this podcast, but he did not respond before press time.

Last September,  we spoke with Larry Bradshaw who is the CEO of National Lutheran Communities & Services and the man behind the project now known as The Village at Providence Point in Annapolis.  A lot has happened since then and today, we check in with Bradshaw as the project seems to be headed into the final stretch of the approval process. Today we learned that they has submitted their plans to the City of Annapolis after working with the Stop Crystal Springs (opposition group) and the City to address most of the concerns. There are two remaining concerns that are still undecided as it is a decision (guidance) that needs to be provided by the City. If all goes well, Bradshaw thinks that construction might be able to start in the early part of 2022. While on the same property, this is NOT anywhere close to the same project as Crystal Springs. Along with a change of names to The Village at Providence Point, this project has been downsized in the number of residents and in the general footprint of the project. Have a listen!

"Last September, people viewed the biopharma industry worse than any other industry in the country. Now, they're deemed as the saviors of the economy and getting us out of the pandemic. But fundamentals haven't changed." In our latest podcast, Alger Health Sciences Analyst CJ Sylvester provides an update on the aggressive pursuit of a vaccine and other therapies within the biopharmaceutical industry.

Last September, Disney offered a “Bedtime Hotline” for two weeks where the young and young at heart could call to listen to a bedtime message from their favorite Disney, Marvel, Star Wars, or Pixar character. Now, the free hotline is making a brief reappearance to help kids staying at home off to dreamland. Between now and April 30th, you can access the hotline by calling 1-877-7-MICKEY. When you do, you’ll be prompted to select the character you’d like to listen to a message from. Options include Mickey himself as well as characters like Goofy and Donald Duck. Unlike September’s offering, your options are just traditional Disney characters this time rather than Marvel or Star Wars characters. Once you’ve made your selection, a recorded goodnight message from your selected character will play, and then the service will hang up. If you’d like to listen to another message, you’ll have to dial in again to select another character. The prompts at the beginning are definitely geared more towards parents than little ones, so you also likely want to go through those yourself and then put the goodnight message on speakerphone rather than just dialing and handing over your phone.

Last September, Chris Butkiewicz nearly lost the use of his spine due to an acute infection.

Today, we turn the tables a bit! Usually, I invite guests to have conversations about their areas of expertise, but today’s podcast is a conversation with my long-time friend Gayle Koger in which I share my experiences of Letting Go. Gayle grew up in Oklahoma. After attending a tiny rural school, Gayle moved into the “big city” when she enrolled in Sand Springs Public Schools, where she and I met in ninth grade. She studied at Oklahoma State University, then married immediately after graduating with a BS in horticulture and moved to Alaska, where she lived for most of her adult life. She went back to school in Alaska to earn associate degrees in nursing and process technology, which allowed her to work in the Alaskan oil fields. Last September, Gayle returned to Oklahoma to be nearer her parents and her roots. If her voice sounds familiar, you’ll recognize the similarity in her voice to that of her sister Karen Schism, who was my podcast guest in Episode 15. More important to Gayle than any degree is caring for people. Currently serving as a nurse in a long term care facility, Gayle also runs a VRBO in Soldotna, Alaska, and is mother to two grown daughters. A temporary guest in my garage apartment, Gayle often joins me in the mornings for coffee and heart-to-hearts; the conversation you’re about to hear is one such chat that we “just happened” to record.

Welcome to a new week and a new theme here on the One Minute Retirement Tip!  This week, I’m talking about gray divorce. The divorce rate among people in their 50s, 60s, and 70s has skyrocketed in recent years. It’s such a prevalent trend that there’s even a name for it - gray divorce. So this week, I’ll unpack this upswing in divorce rates among pre-retirees and retirees and what a gray divorce could mean for your retirement plan.  Last September, I read an article in the magazine ‘401k Specialist’. The article highlighted the increase in divorce rates among Americans close to retirement, and the devastating impact that it can have on your retirement plans.  After reading this article, I knew that it would be a worthwhile and important topic to cover on the One Minute Retirement Tip. It had confirmed a lot of what I had been seeing in my own life -  the uptick in divorces I was experiencing with my own clients who were divorcing in their 50s and 60s and how that was painful for them - both emotionally and financially. In addition, I’ve had several close friends whose parents divorced when their children had grown and moved out, even after staying in the marriage for decades. Those divorces later in life were so curious to me because I just assumed that if you could stay married for 20-30 years like many of these couples had, you were committed for the long-haul. But as we’ll cover this week, despite staying married for decades, many couples are divorcing later in life, sparking this new moniker for the trend of gray divorce.  The other thing I want to mention about this topic before we kick off the week is that I put off this topic for 6 months now since reading that article, because I didn’t know how to talk about divorce from a financial and retirement perspective while still being sensitive to the complexities involved in a divorce decision.  And since divorce is such a contentious and emotional topic with strong extreme opinions on both sides of the issue, I want to be cautious in avoiding any land mines or alienating listeners while I cover this topic.  My goal this week is to speak the truth and help you think through this difficult, painful, and emotional topic from the perspective of your finances. As I’m really not qualified to talk about the impact of divorce from other angles, we’ll look at the reality of divorce in your 50s and beyond, why there’s massive growth in gray divorce, how it is especially harmful to women, 5 ways that a gray divorce can impact your finances in retirement, and how you can calculate the impact of divorce on your retirement.  For those of you who are struggling in your marriage right now or are contemplating divorce, I hope this week is especially relevant for you.  That’s it for today. Before you go, though, if you haven’t already left a review in Amazon or iTunes for the One Minute Retirement Tip, can I ask a favor of you to go do that right now? It just takes a few seconds and it helps to spread the word, and raises visibility of this podcast to help others find it. And thank you to all of you who have taken the time to write a review.  My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip. ---------- >>> Subscribe on iTunes: https://apple.co/2DI2LSP >>> Subscribe on Amazon Alexa: https://amzn.to/2xRKrCs >>> Check out our blog: https://truenorthretirementadvisors.com/blog/ ---------- Tags: retirement, investing, money, finance, finances, financial planning, retirement planning, saving money, personal finance, wealth management, money tips, fee only financial advisor, financial planner, financial podcast, retirement podcast, financial independence podcast

In this episode, Scott Winterroth provides an update on some strategies and experiments he has been testing over the last couple of months. Plus, he shares some ideas for how things are going to go down in the future on this podcast. You guessed it, it's going to be awesome and stay tuned! Mentioned in this episode: Digital Acquisition Cycle for Content CreatorsBohemian Trixie (Heather's Instagram)Descript App for PodcastsContent AcademyWordSpaces WordPress HostingStrategy Head Book Club BYW Update #49 Transcript (Some editing was done to make it readable) Hello Everyone! It's Scott Winterroth, and this is episode number 49 of the Blog You Want in the Time You Have Podcast, and this is a little bit of unscripted episode. I am just going to sit down and talk about where I've been the last, you know, almost six months now. It's been quite a ride, sort of fun and I've learned a lot. I've had a lot of experiments, and I've also had some setbacks. Nothing crazy, no personal setbacks, just, business setbacks. Last September, I launched my first book called the Digital Acquisition Cycle for Content Creators. Wow, it's been an amazing experience and lots of sort of failed learning successes. I launched a book and, it's self-published, so I didn't work with a publisher or anything like that. I did it all myself. I mean, I worked with an editor, but in the day it was all done through me. And, It's been an interesting experience. I can't say it's been a boon for my business, per se, but it has been a great, for a couple of reasons. One, I didn't sell, I haven't really sold that many books on Amazon, not enough to make it a return on my investment. In fact, barely any. And I know that's an entire strategy on its own. So I've been spending time trying to figure out how to optimize Amazon and how to. Build visibility and Amazon. I do know that having just one book and being your first book, it's, it's a hard thing. Usually, the people who are killing it in Amazon have several different books or have multiple books and they also create books that sort of reach people, through like almost like SEO or search strategy. So I don't have that. I created a book that I think provides tons of value for people, and that's why I put it on Amazon to help share it with the world. What has been really helpful for me is that I've been doing a series of sort of workshops and presentations, and I bring the book to the presentations and I've sold a few at my events, which is great. I've also, Given several away to clients and to people who I think will find value in it, which that, of course, is one way to help build marketing because obviously, I'm asking these people to give a, give it to a friend if they think it's as a value. I realized it's going to take time, like any content endeavor, you can't start a blog and expect it to be a hit overnight. Along with trying to figure out this whole book world. My wife and I are really trying to figure out Instagram right now. Heather, my wife, shout out to her. She's actually away this evening, so that's why I'm recording a podcast, but she is and I are really trying to focus on building her visibility online at Her profile called the Bohemian Trixie on Instagram. She's like a fashion lifestyle blogger on there, and I'm trying to help her with that as well as figuring out Instagram for myself. It's challenging. I think it's actually in some ways easier for her, but just because it's so much, so much of a platform geared towards like fashion and, and lifestyle and photos that it's easier that way per se. But for me, I know I've been trying some WordPress tutorials and doing different things. You know, I've had some success, but, I'm not quite sure if I want to double down on that. I think it's better for me to help double down and help Heather and not so much focusing on my own Instagram. That kind of brings me back to the podcast. I really want to

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in an interview Sunday did not reveal any details of a potential historic meeting between President Donald Trump and leaders of the Taliban.Trump said during a news conference a day earlier that he would meet with leaders from the militant group "in the not too distant future" following the signing earlier Saturday of a historic agreement between the US and the Taliban which sets into motion the potential of a full withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan and could pave the way to ending America's longest-fought war.Asked Sunday by CBS' Margaret Brennan on "Face the Nation" about when and where such a session will happen and whether it would be at Camp David, Pompeo said, "I don't know when. I don't know where. I'm very confident. President Trump wants to make sure that everyone in Afghanistan understands that the United States is committed to making sure that this conversation take place.""There's a better path forward. The Taliban now know this because of the work that we've done. And President Trump will be actively engaged in helping us get the conditions right and beginning this journey that the first step was taken in Doha yesterday," Pompeo said, noting that the US has been in Afghanistan "for an awful long time."Last September, a planned meeting at Camp David between Trump and Taliban leaders to conduct secret talks was canceled just days before it was scheduled to occur. It was scrapped after the Taliban claimed an attack that killed a dozen people, including an American soldier.Pompeo became the first US Cabinet official to ever meet with a member of the Taliban on Saturday while in Doha for the signing of the US-Taliban agreement. The secretary said he met with the senior Taliban negotiator during the trip.Asked during his CBS interview about his prior comments calling the Taliban terrorists and whether he still considered them that, Pompeo responded: "They have an enormous amount of American blood on their hands."He said he didn't automatically trust the Taliban to live up to its commitments in the agreement to break its relationship with al Qaeda, so the US will need to have verification of that."Don't trust anything. We're going to deliver. It's about actions. The agreement set out the conditions. It set out the space, but no this deal doesn't depend upon trusting anyone," he said. "It has a deep, complex, well-thought out, multi-month, negotiated, verification complex and mechanism by which we can observe and hold every member of the agreement accountable. We'll do that."The "Agreement for Bringing Peace to Afghanistan" outlines a series of commitments from the US and the Taliban related to troop levels, counterterrorism, and the intra-Afghan dialogue aimed at bringing about "a permanent and comprehensive ceasefire."Among other things, the four-page agreement states that the Taliban will take steps "to prevent any group or individual, including al-Qa'ida, from using the soil of Afghanistan to threaten the security of the United States and its allies." Those steps include commitments that the Taliban will instruct its members "not to cooperate with groups or individuals threatening the security of the United States and its allies" and that it "will prevent any group or individual in Afghanistan from threatening the security of the United States and its allies, and will prevent them from recruiting, training, and fundraising and will not host them in accordance with the commitments in this agreement."

Exmortus is a band from Whittier, Calif. that was formed in 2002. I recently had a conversation with Exmortus’ singer/guitarist, Jadran Gonzales, who started the band. They decided to call the band Exmortus because the band loved the movie Evil Dead. In the second movie’s intro, it mentions the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, the book of the dead. However, they changed the name to the “us” ending instead of the “is” ending. Last September, drummer Mario Mortus left the band to focus on his screen printing company. Jadran spoke about how the current lineup of Exmortus came together and how the lineup change has contributed to the songwriting style on the new album. We discussed what it was like working with producer Zach Ohren, as well as working with members of Spellcaster and Holy Grail. The Sound of Steel that was released on June 8 by Prosthetic Records.

At the height of the Ron Paul era, the liberty movement was a force to be reckoned with. On a level playing field, he probably would've been the Republican nominee. But the liberty movement peaked in 2012. When Donald Trump burst onto the scene in 2015, he reappropriated all of the good doctor's momentum. And Rand Paul's miserable performance sealed the deal. So now what? If you consider yourself a liberty-minded person, it's time to wake up. Read the room. The liberty movement is stalling out because the message is unappealing and the messengers bring nothing of value to the table. Nobody cares about utopian legal philosophies. What problems can you solve? What services can you provide? If you say "the state is evil and the market is good," yet you provide nothing of value in the market, your words are worthless. They carry no weight. People want the state because it solves problems for them. If you want them to listen to you, you have to solve problems for them. Last September, Gene Epstein's Soho Forum hosted a debate between Nicholas Sarwark, the chairman of the Libertarian Party, and the beloved Dave Smith, host of Part of the Problem. The resolution was, "The Libertarian Party should never again put up national candidates whose views are similar to those of Gary Johnson and Bill Weld." Ideologically, we here at WP&I have far more in common with Dave than with Sarwark. However, Sarwark made the most profound point of the night when he told Dave, "My job isn't to convert people to libertarianism. That's YOUR job." Politicians don't create converts. They attract them. This is why Andrew Breitbart said, "Politics is downstream of culture." If you want a freer society, it starts with you. You won't change the world by picking the most libertarian candidate for president. You'll change the world by changing the culture. And that happens through three channels: business, education, and entertainment. In a recent conversation on the Tom Woods Show, Tom and Dave discussed the future of the liberty movement. So this is our answer to that question. The future of the liberty movement is the message of this show: Your freedom is directly tied to the amount of wealth, power, and influence you have. If you want more freedom, you need more of all three. In fact, if you aren't maximizing your own freedom, you're letting down yourself, your family, and everyone who stands to benefit from your ideas, products, and/or services. So take responsibility for your own life and maximize your own human capital. Start solving people's problems. Use the freedom you currently have to buy more. When you start living your values, other people will notice. And then your words will actually carry some weight. In a nutshell, wealth accumulation is the practical application of liberty. So let's make libertarianism capitalist again. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Intro music by Nick White, producer of The Statist Quo   This episode is brought to you by our sponsors: Honey MVMT Bespoke (Code: STAPLETON) Support the show.

Last September, a Quebec Superior Court judge struck down key provisions in the Quebec and federal laws on medical assistance in dying (MAiD) in what’s known as the Truchon and Gladu case. These set out how close or predictable one’s death needs to be to qualify for MAiD. Now, on March 11, both laws will come into force – without those provisions in Quebec. Meanwhile, the federal government is holding consultations to develop a solution that will be consistent across Canada. As a result of the decision, MAiD will be within reach for more people like Montrealers Jean Truchon and Nicole Gladu – people suffering as a result of physical disabilities and chronic conditions. But a group of experts is arguing that the implications extend far beyond cases like these. In particular, it could allow many more people with mental disorders as their sole underlying medical condition to gain eligibility for MAiD. And if that happens, it’s not clear how the government will respond. To discuss the ripple effects of Truchon and Gladu, we’re joined by Jocelyn Downie and Mona Gupta for a bilingual podcast. Jocelyn Downie is the James S. Palmer Chair in Public Policy and Law at Dalhousie’s Schulich School of Law, and Mona Gupta is a psychiatrist and researcher at the Centre l’Hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal and an associate professor of psychiatry at the University de Montréal. They’re two of the authors on a forthcoming IRPP study on what the government must do to address the issue of MAiD for people living with mental disorders. Jocelyn will be speaking to our host Julia in English, while Mona will focus on the Quebec context with our French host, Ricardo.

We talked this week about trending topics that involved 'timing', whether good or bad. The Atlanta Hip Hop industry came out to the Trap Music Museum to take part in the unveiling of a new exhibit celebrating the musical and cultural impact of two rap superstars. Both Cardi B and Nicki Minaj were honored with permanent installations at Tip "T.I." Harris' gallery. T.I. had to respond to critics that took issue with the two New York City-raised rivals being presented on an equal level. Let's see if the timing for this is a good one? The timing of this is definitely needed. Will Smith and Martin Lawrence are reportedly poised to return to the "Bad Boys" franchise for another sequel following the projected box office success of the new "Bad Boys For Life." "Bad Boys for Life" opened in theaters this weekend, and Sony Pictures bosses are so thrilled with the early box office figures, they are close to green-lighting "Bad Boys 4." CAN'T WAIT! Former NBA star and DC native, Delonte West was videoed shirtless and in handcuffs on the side of a road in Prince George’s County, just outside of DC. In the video, which was posted on Twitter, an unidentified man asks West why he had just been attacked and if he had been acting in self-defense. West said he was walking down the street when a man approached him with a gun; he then says a number of unintelligible things. West has long struggled with bipolar disorder. In February 2016, he was spotted wandering around a Jack in the Box in Houston without any shoes on. Last September, West was photographed on a street in Dallas, allegedly homeless. Let's get this man some help ASAP! Monique FINALLY gets her own tv special with Showtime. Mo’Nique & Friends: Live from Atlanta, which will air on Friday, February 7 at 10 p.m. ET.

Last September’s LOOK AT THE WORLD concerts gathered a wide array of talent combined for the purpose of communicating something positive to the San Antonio and Shreveport communities. We believe our listeners will enjoy and learn a great deal from the conversation between featured artists David Portillo, Angelique Feaster Evans, and Walker Burroughs. This extraordinary trio of artists explore the subject matter and themes of the concert while reflecting on their personal experiences working together.

Last September of 2019, Foldax, Inc. announced its first-in-human use of the Tria heart valve under its FDA Early Feasibility Study (EFS) for the treatment of aortic valve disease.Tria heart valves combine LifePolymer™, an advanced biopolymer material, and a patented design to create a valve with the potential lowering the cost of medical care given the increasing costs of using animal tissue valves and the associated durability and calcification concerns.  The proprietary biopolymer material and design of the Tria heart valves also allows for high volume manufacturing. The valves are robotically manufactured to provide the highest level of quality and precision and allow for future patient customization, while eliminating the variability of human production.  In this episode of DeviceAlliance’s Medtech Radio, we speak with the Executive Chairman of Foldax Inc., and Exec Chairman Chief Strategy Officer of Compellon Inc. Ken Charhut.  Join us as we discuss how this ground breaking technology was created, what major milestone this represents for heart valve patients worldwide, and how the progress toward mitral and transcatheter versions of the valves next year have the potential to revolutionize the heart valve industry. 

Nein – doch, nein – doch, nein - usw. Nach weihnachtlichem Frieden und Lichterglanz wird es bei uns zum Jahresende noch mal etwas ungemütlicher: In ihrer Besprechung des neuen Noah-Baumbach-Films Marriage Story passen sich Christoph und Claudia dem Sujet des Scheidungsdramas an und diskutieren kontrovers und etwas hitzig, ob und warum man sich anschauen sollte, wenn Adam Drivers Ehe mit Scarlett Johansson den Bach runtergeht. Die Besprechung der 4. Staffel von Expanse gerät harmonischer. Abschließend überlegen wir gemeinsam, welche Serie aus unserer Jugend besser als biografisch-historisches Phänomen zu betrachten ist und welche wir jetzt dank Prime neu entdecken wollen. Die Herren von Last September in Monaco jedenfalls bewundern wir für ihre heldenhaft-stumpfsinnige Rewatch-Standhaftigkeit. Wir danken euch für eure Treue im Jahr 2019, wünschen einen guten Rutsch durch die bevorstehende Nacht und freuen uns darauf, euch auf der anderen Seite in hoffentlich alter Frische zu begegnen.

Before I introduce today’s guest, I want to share a little bit of background of why this interview is so important to me. Last September, I was invited to go away for a weekend with 5 total strangers for a business mastermind retreat, which I talk about in depth in Episode 177.  Before that retreat, I was on the fast-track to burnout. I was crazy overworking and pretty isolated, and this group of girls that invited me to be part of their mastermind all lived in Texas at the time. So I traveled to Austin to this mastermind retreat, and of course we all bonded immediately like girls do, and after they realized how on the edge I was, I remember one of them saying to me, “Don’t take this the wrong way, but do you have any friends at home?”  And I was like, “Yes, of course I have friends!!! But… they really don’t understand what I do… They’re polite when I talk about it and they’re happy for me, but they really don’t get it…” And my mastermind group challenged me to make some local business friends.  So I put that on my to-do list as a good Enneagram 3 does, and then I came back to Columbus and got back to work. Fast forward 6 months, and I’m at my friend’s house, and her two sons who just graduated high school are there with two of their friends (who are also brothers) that are always hanging out there, and one of them goes, “Hey! I just found out you’re a web designer? And you have a podcast?” And I’m like “Yeah! I teach entrepreneurs how to DIY their websites and how to market themselves online, and I have this podcast all about how to grow your side hustle.” And he’s like, “You have to meet my mom. Our family owns a web design company, we do digital marketing for small businesses, and they started this podcast called “Flip Flop Your Life” and it’s all about helping people build a life they don’t need a vacation from - and they want to start doing online courses like you do!” So they connected me with their mom, and we set up a lunch date and totally hit it off, and I had to bring her on the podcast to share her business journey! My guest today is Angie Cherubini. Angie and her husband Pat own a web design and digital marketing firm in my hometown, Columbus, Ohio called Cherubini Designs along with their two sons, Chase and Blake, and Chase’s girlfriend Hannah.  Today we’re talking about: How Angie started her web design business in her early twenties, before having a website was a necessity for business owners. Exactly how Angie got her first clients. Why working with bad clients is crucial to your business success. How Angie grew her business before online marketing was even a thing. How Angie’s solo freelance web design business became the family business. How to identify your own strengths so that you can monetize your expertise. Why you don’t have to constantly find new clients to be successful, and how to best serve your existing clients over the long-term. The one thing Angie would change about her business if she could go back in time. Why Angie and her husband Pat decided to start a podcast. Angie’s best advice for you if you are wanting to live the flip-flop lifestyle. The one belief Angie had to change about herself to get where she is today. My favorite quotes from Angie: On staying relevant to your clients: “You have to always be looking at the next step.” “We try to treat everyone of our clients like family.” “We don’t complain about our job like everyone else does, we actually love it!” “You can’t be afraid to be the expert.” “Find out how to monetize something you love.” Resources mentioned in this episode: Flip Flop Your Life Podcast Cherubini Company Bio: Angie was your rock collecting, play in the dirt little girl, high school & Ohio Glory cheerleader (AKA Glory Girl), and Ohio State grad. She’s always been an independent woman. Stay at home mom turned business owner and entrepreneur. Oh, and CrossFit nut!  She is the designer of the family. Websites, logos, landing pages and everything that needs an artistic touch. She’s been the creative genius behind 100’s of local business’s websites and marketing pieces. She still gets her hands dirty in the creatives but now is focusing on leading the creative team into the future.

Jimmy Barrett and Shara Fryer take you through the stories that matter on the morning of 09/12/2019, including: Ten Democratic Presidential hopefuls will hit the stage at TSU tonight for their third debate. Several members of their ranks will be missing tonight, including U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard of Hawaii, U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet of Colorado, Montana Gov. Steve Bullock and self-help guru Marianne Williamson. A recent survey of 1,000 Republican and Republican-leaning college students has found that 73 percent of them have hidden their political views in the classroom — because they’re worried that exposing them could negatively impact their grades. A column in The New York Times Tuesday cited a Pew Research Center survey which found that Americans currently hold an unfavorable view of the Democratic party. According to the poll, 45 percent of Americans have a favorable opinion of the Democrats, compared with 52 percent who hold an unfavorable view. Last September, ahead of the 2018 midterms, the numbers told a different story. Fifty-three percent of Americans had a favorable opinion of Democrats prior to the election, compared to 42 percent who had an unfavorable opinion. While the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has cut down on the number of border crossers and illegal aliens they release into the United States interior, the agency continues to release nearly 130 individuals a day. Between August 27 and September 2, DHS released about 900 border crossers and illegal aliens into the interior of the U.S. This indicates that at current rates, DHS is releasing a little more than 128 border crossers and illegal aliens every day — a slight drop compared to the 192 border crossers and illegal aliens who were released every day between July 23 and August 26.

EPISODE 22: THE REAL, THE RAW, AND THE UNCOMFORTABLE “Autism and Single Parenting”    Hi, everyone! This is Susan Scott, the founder and executive director of the nonprofit My Autism Tribe, and host of the My Autism Tribe podcast. This is the first podcast where I am flying completely solo, and I must admit…I’m a little nervous (laugh). I’m nervous for several reasons: 1. I’m doing this all alone, so I have no one else to help me carry today’s topic, 2. I want to make sure that I represent this topic fairly and truthfully, and 3. This topic places me in a really vulnerable position. It’s real, still very raw, and most definitely uncomfortable. BUT this is where we find growth, right? I mean, my son is placed is uncomfortable situations every day, so why shouldn’t I place myself in uncomfortable situations? Today’s topic is single parenting with children or loved ones on the autism spectrum. I know this topic doesn’t intimately touch everyone, but perhaps you know someone that is on this journey, and perhaps you still (even though not divorced) will relate to many of the points that I discuss today. I get asked (A LOT ACTUALLY) if I believe autism, in some way, lead to my divorce. I’ll go ahead and answer this question now, so we can move on. No. No, it didn’t. Not at all. Did it add stress to our relationship? Sure, but all marriage has stress. It’s how you choose to deal or not deal with it. I’m not going into details that lead to my divorce, out of respect for my ex-husband, but if I had to summarize our extremely long story into a very small nutshell, I would just say that we had different priorities…and I’ll leave it that. When my marriage ended, I felt so many different emotions. I had guilt, anger, depression, and (just being honest here) relief. I felt every single one in a very deep and powerful way, but it was important that I felt all of these emotions because that was part of my healing process. I was grieving a relationship death, and entering into a world of unknowns as a mother with sole custody of a child with special needs. I honestly didn’t know if I could do it, but here I am. Still breathing, still loving, still caring, and dare I say, even enjoying life again. I’ve learned to trust myself, embrace new possibilities (just like this!), and I’ve put one foot in front of the other. I’ve surrounded myself with friends and family who not only support my decision, but have grown to understand the many reasons that I did what I did. Divorce is such a difficult decision to make, because it affects so many people. It not only affected my son, my ex-husband, and myself because we had to redefine what our version of “family” was, is, and will be in the future, but it affected our extended family and friends. I soon realized that single parenting a child, especially one with special needs, can be isolating at times, but it is doable. It also feels like piloting a single-engine plane in a storm, but you always come out the other side. Single parenting is super tough – I’m not going to sugarcoat it. I’ve been fortunate enough, through this platform and through other intimate conversations that I’ve had with other parents on the same journey, to hear their fears, frustrations, and I thought I might share some of these with you as well. Granted, single parents with children on the spectrum do not experience these fears or frustrations every single day, but I found that AT LEAST one time or another, I drew a line to every one…and I know that parents and caregivers who are not divorced have experienced many of these as well. Let’s get started. Exhaustion: Where do I even start with this? Maybe with the word coffee? When you’re a single parent, you’re doing (most likely) everything by yourself. You’re maintaining a job, coordinating therapies, fixing breakfast, lunch and dinners by yourself, supervising everyone in your child’s life, educating others, advocating for your child. This list goes on and on and on. I’ve reached places of loneliness that I didn’t know existed…foreign lands that I had only read about in books. That’s one of the reasons that I formed My Autism Tribe. You guys just get it. Divorced or not. Another one is financial stress. This one is a doozy. Not only are you putting food on the table, clothes on everyone’s body, paying the mortgage or rent, putting gas in the car, but also paying for therapies, insurance, child care (in the case that the stars align and you are actually able to go out and do something for yourself), assistive technologies if your child needs them, extracurricular activities, books, etc. It’s a lot, but one thing I learned very early on, and this was before marriage, before a child, was to create a budget. I make a list of all our needs, sprinkled in with some wants, and I balance the numbers. Sometimes, a lot of times, it’s in the red…and that is terrifying. Last September, the company I was working for as Vice President of Client Services, decided they were closing their doors. I’ve never let fear rule my life, I’m a risk taker by nature, but I don’t think that I’ve ever been more scared or uncertain about anything before. I couldn’t find work…literally applied to thousands of positions and was either told I was over-qualified or the position had already been filled. (This is the part that is really, really uncomfortable). I was not only feeling like a failure as a professional, but I felt like I was failing as a parent…not doing enough or everything that I should be doing to provide for my son. We were living on my savings, and thank God we had them. I’ve been doing some consulting work, but we’re not back to where we were. And I’m trying to find peace with that. The school that my son attends found a grant that helped us pay for some of his speech therapies until I could get back on my feet, and that helped a ton. Every little bit helped. Several family members also pitched in to help pay for a few things. Anyone that knows me, knows how much I hate this…I hate asking for help, taking when I can’t give, but I was literally left with no choice. I was humbled, and maybe that’s exactly where I needed to be. This next one is super frustrating, but I’m learning to understand a bit more. It’s when people tell me to “take care of myself” that “self-care is important”, but I often have no one else to take my place so I can. And then, when I finally do (rarely) have time for that quote/unquote “self-care”, I’m feeling guilty because I should be with my son, because I know him inside and out, because I can understand him when he is having trouble expressing his wants or his frustrations. I, by nature, am (what people like to call) a “mover-and-a-shaker”. I am never quite “still”, always going, always thinking, so the notion of actually relaxing can be somewhat foreign to me (laugh). I’m trying to learn more, understand, and wrap my mind around this self-care thing. Right now, most of the time, my self-care is indulging myself in Netflix and eating popcorn in bed after my son is asleep. Exciting, I know. Don’t be jealous. I’m not the best at prioritizing, I admit, because everything in my mind is the most important all of the time. BUT, I’m going to try my best to becoming better at this, and I want you guys to hold me accountable. Perhaps send me some suggestions on this. How do you DO “self-care”? So, there are other frustrations and challenges that certainly pop up in this single parenting thing, but these are the big whammies for me. On the flip side of frustrations, there have also been many things I am grateful to have learned and experienced. I have strength and courage I didn’t know I had. Shew! The Susan 20 years ago would NEVER have thought in a million years that she could pull this off. Sure, I knew I had strength, but this whole journey has allowed me to see pieces of myself that really…I’m quite proud of. I’m also learning to be mindful and to celebrate little successes, and this has in turn increased my patience. I used to be one of the most impatient people, but since there have been days of very literally putting one foot in front of the other, it has allowed me to be more in the moment…exactly where my son wants and needs me to be. I’ve also gotten to know some AMAZING people, like yourselves! The conversations, the interactions, the experiences that I’ve had with other advocates, other parents and caregivers, who not only have such compassion, but also a sense of humor. This, to me, has been a miracle. I may not have emphasized enough, or even mentioned at all, but the strength that I’ve gained through the circle of friends that I’ve met along the way – you have been my life jacket, keeping me afloat on days that I thought I would most definitely drown. So thank you. And now, maybe I can share a few tips with you that have helped me. Some of these I’m better with than others, and I truly feel like these most of these tips can work for not only single parents, but all parents or caregivers, in general. Don’t sweat the small stuff, because so much of everything going on is “small stuff”. Don’t speak poorly of your ex, because your children can hear everything and they understand more than we sometimes give them credit for. Our children can feed off our emotions, whether or not they can let us know it or not. My son can feel my tension at times, and those are the times that I feel like his stimming increases. Don’t be afraid to seek counseling. This may be silly, but just know that it’s ok to buy disposable plates or cups so you don’t have to do dishes. This can be time saved for doing other more important things. Sleep when you can, where you can. I remember several times, taking my lunch break in my car in a parking lot where I was able to catch a tiny nap. It helped! I didn’t care what other people thought. Although, one time a very nice gentleman tapped on my window to see if I was alive. (laugh) Bless his heart. Find a support group or another parent of a child with autism. They will keep you sane. Get help in navigating health insurance. It’s ok to not know everything. Insurance is a BEAST, and knowledge is power. This next one may sound kind of harsh, but it has helped me on my journey. Get rid of anyone in your life who causes you additional stress. Real friends are the ones who “get it” without needing an explanation. Family is a little trickier to navigate, but don’t be afraid to let them know that you are setting boundaries, and will not participate in any negative conversations about your child. That’s ok to do. And lastly, start by realizing that autism is something that is forever. I don’t discourage early intervention (I actually highly encourage it), but you have to pace yourself, while still allowing your child to be a child. I hope this helps at least one person out there, and I sure hope that I didn’t say anything that offended anyone in any way. It certainly wasn’t my intention. I always want to make sure that I am not only sharing your stories, but also letting you hear my story as well. Sometimes it has a good ending, and sometimes it has a not-so-good ending – but regardless, I feel like it’s a story still worth sharing. Thank you for supporting My Autism Tribe, and thank you for allowing us to support you. You never know just how important support is, until it’s the only thing that you feel like you have. For you, I am grateful. Keep up the great work, and I’ll see you next week!

In the 25 years since the Rwandan genocide, the country has emerged to become one of Africa’s success stories. Its remarkable recovery has stemmed from efforts towards nation-building. But some critics argue this bid for ethnic reconciliation is far from complete. In this week’s Spotlight on Africa, RFI's Christina Okello travels to Kigali to explore how Rwanda has dealt with the trauma of its past. Tucked away in a courtyard away from the main commercial area in Kigali, is a small memorial site dominated by an imposing building of red bricks and white panels. The building is the Sainte Famille church, the largest Catholic Church in Rwanda. It is also where more than 2,000 people were massacred during the 1994 genocide. “We still remember those people who was killed, who are called Abatutsi [or Tutsi] people,” recounts 19-year-old Nadine Ouwiduhaye, pointing to the names of the victims engraved on a black marble wall. When violence broke out on 7 April following the assassination of President Juvénal Habyarimana, many residents from troubled districts of Kigali fled to Sainte Famille church to seek refuge, only to be handed over to Hutu militias by the priest in charge there. “I’m just looking at these people; they’re too many. This is something like inhumanity. How can people take something like a knife and put to the neck of others, how they can kill their people, kill their child, how people can kill his mother? Just too many questions,” Ouwiduhaye told RFI. Is God listening? Up to one million Tutsis and Hutus were killed in a brutal one-hundred-day massacre that has led some to question whether God exists. In his commemoration speech to mark the 25th anniversary since the killings, President Paul Kagame reiterated the poem of a young girl who once said: “Where was God on those dark nights of genocide?” “People say he was absent, no he wasn’t,” responds Ouwiduhaye. “Something bad happened, it doesn’t mean God forgot us. He is trying to teach us how we can treat each other, how we can be together. Before, they didn’t have a unit, they just had something like Tutsi, Hutu, Twa. But right now, we are just Rwandan, all of us we are just Rwandan,” she said. One Rwanda Today, ethnic labels in Rwanda have been erased, and most children like Ouwiduhaye have grown up with the idea of “Rwandaness,” inculcated into them in education camps, known as ingando that try to minimize ethnic differences. “Many people don’t understand how we have made this reconciliation,” comments Rwandan author Jean-Marie Vianney Rurangwa, who was invited to discuss his work in preserving the memory of the genocide. Author of four books on the topic, including Au Sortir De l’Enfer (Out of Hell), Rurangwa explains how writing about the genocide can “teach the youth about all those atrocities so that they cannot be repeated.” Roots of Genocide Explaining the racist ideology that sowed the roots of hatred between Hutus and Tutsis is a start. Traditionally, Hutus were people who farmed crops, while a Tutsi minority made up Rwanda’s cattle-keeping aristocracy. Because cattle were more valuable than crops, the minority Tutsis became the local elite. Gradually, these class divisions became ethnic distinctions, which were later exploited by German and Belgian colonisers. When in 1959, a Hutu elite toppled the Tutsi royal family, the regime that followed took a staunch nationalist turn, forcing thousands of Tutsis to flee. “The genocide didn’t just start in 1994,” says Rurangwa. “There were episodes of violence even in 1961,” after the Hutu majority won the country’s first elections; and “right up until 1990,” he said. “Forgetting would be a mistake,” he adds, saying how writing about his experience and the identity battle he’s faced since, has been “cathartic” not just for him but for others. “Sharing pain can be a kind of healing.” Accusations of genocide denial Yet officials accuse critics of trying to create an alternative truth. In their crosshairs are people like Hutu opposition leader Victoire Ingabire. The government has long accused her of inciting “divisionist” (i.e. Hutu v Tutsi) rebellion, an allegation she has always denied. Last September, Ingabire was freed from prison after eight years in detention, following a decision by Kagame to pardon over 2,000 inmates. She continues to campaign for what she believes is the truth. “I ask for justice for all Rwandans, it does not mean that I minimize the importance of the Tutsi genocide,” she told RFI. By everyone, Ingabire means the thousands of Hutu civilians who were killed by Kagame’s Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) forces as they hunted down those who had committed the genocide in neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo, which later expanded into calamitous regional wars. “The crimes committed by certain members of the RPF are never mentioned. We are not allowed to discuss it. So how can we talk about reconciliation?” Together again Yet everywhere reconciliation and unity are espoused by the state. When speaking at the 25th commemoration of the genocide, Paul Kagame vowed to never allow such large-scale violence to ever happen again. And indeed, there has been none. Dissent too has been carefully stifled throughout the RPF’s time in power, much to the dismay of rights groups. Moreover, government indicators such as the Rwanda Reconciliation Barometer, an opinion survey conducted every five years, routinely reports that more than 90 percent of Rwandans believe their communities have fully reconciled. This reconciliation has been based on a collective memory of the past to construct a post-ethnic national identity. The aim is to get people to “come out of their traumatic memories and divisive identities and go for nationhood,” explains Eric Ndushabandi, director of the Institute of Research and Dialogue for Peace. The political choice is to say “You have been taught this, you have been reading this, but the truth is this,” he told RFI. Dealing with trauma Common experiences often allow individuals to cope when memories are particularly traumatic. But some Rwandans want to simply forget. “There are traumatic wounds, which come back,” comments Ndushabandi, who runs community dialogue sessions between survivors and perpetrators in villages. “People are looking at their scars and traumatic memories and they say, oh, this proximity and inter-relationship; it’s still very problematic.” The other concern is that promoting one Rwandan identity could provide “an escape route for people who have to take responsibility for their deeds,” reckons Pumla Gobodo-Madikizela, a research chair on historical trauma and transformation at the Stellenbosch University in Cape Town, who participated in activities during the 25th commemoration of the genocide. While nation building is “a tremendous idea, that we as South Africans can learn from, the problem is when people immediately replace the idea of being ‘I am one Rwanda’, without taking accountability and acknowledging what they did. I think that’s where the slippage lies,” she told RFI. Moving On The trauma of the genocide remains endemic throughout the population and affects the youth in particular, despite many of them being born after the mass killing. “I cannot say that I was not affected by it [the genocide], because my parents, my grandparents are affected by it,” says Rwanda University student Deborah Chisozo. “This is a painful time for everyone because they’re telling us stories, about that history, that was a very dark time here in our country,” she told RFI, as the country observes a 100-day mourning period for the 800,000 Tutsis and 30,000 moderate Hutus who were killed. “I feel bad, some of my friends are having trauma because of that time. But we’re going to pass it and we have hope that we’re going to have a beautiful country.” There are “encouraging signs,” coming from the youth, says Vincent Sezibera, a professor of psychology at the University of Rwanda. “Wherever you go, you have clubs of young people,” made up of “children born from survivors and children born from perpetrators, collaborating together,” he told RFI. The youth were the centerpiece of this year’s tribute. “They send a clear message that a child born from a perpetrator is not necessarily a perpetrator, and they even go on to say that the perpetrator of yesterday is not necessarily a perpetrator of tomorrow,” adds Sezibera. Such youth clubs have taken on names such as Ikisere, which means hope in Kinyarwanda, the official language. “I’m surprised by their resilience but also the creativity of the young generation. And yes, it gives me hope,” he said.

Last September, Hurricane Florence devastated North Carolina's families, communities, and its trial courts. Court administrators Ellen Hancox and Caitlin Emmons tell how they made it through the storm, cared for their families, and managed to keep their courts afloat. What lessons can we take away from their experience? To cope, people had to come up with “contingency plans for their contingency plans” in order to deal with a storm that upended lives and work. Ellen and Caitlin talk about how their courts and their families endured, including judges who had not fully recovered from the previous hurricane (Matthew). They also describe their efforts at disaster recovery, their emergency plans, and their continuity of operations plans (COOP) during the crisis. Finally, they relate how they overcame unforeseen logistical and legal hurdles. Leave a comment or question about the podcast at clapodcast@nacmnet.org.

Sal Velluto first broke into comics drawing Power Pack for Marvel way back in 1988. Since then, he’s worked on a number of titles for the publisher including Moon Knight, The Silver Surfer, and a 32 issue run on Black Panther to name a few. He has also worked with a number of other publishers including Acclaim, CrossGen, and many others. Sal eventually landed at DC Comics where he helped create Justice League Task Force. He additionally also worked on various issues of Justice League of America and Justice Society of America as well as some occasional work on Aquaman and The Flash.

Steve Scalise was nearly killed last summer when a gunman opened fire at the Republican congressional baseball team’s practice. Last September, after months of surgeries and intensive rehabilitation, the Louisiana congressman was met with a thunderous ovation when he returned to work at the Capitol. The emotional scene—cathartic for Scalise and so many colleagues who were on the baseball field with him—might have obscured just how far he has to go. He’s still undergoing regular physical therapy and walks with the assistance of a cane; the wounds to his pelvis, hip and left leg were so severe that Scalise still doesn’t know whether he will ever be able to run again. Mentally, however, he claims to have fully recovered. Scalise says he was able to process the incident and put the trauma behind him, by reconstructing the events of the day with the help of his teammates and security detail. That included a trip back to the baseball diamond with David Bailey, one of the two U.S. Capitol Police officers who saved his life. “We went back to second base, and he showed me where the shooter was,” Scalise told me in an interview for Politico’s “Off Message” podcast. “We’re looking at first base, where [U.S. Capitol Police officer Dave Bailey was] in a gunfight with the shooter. And he [was] standing just kind of isolated on an island at first base with no protection, and the shooter is kind of hiding, pigeonholed behind this cinderblock dugout behind third base.” Of course, Scalise doesn’t want to be defined by that event. And he’s a fascinating character for other reasons. Control of the House of Representatives isn’t the only thing at stake in the Nov. 6 midterm elections—it’s the future of the House speakership. Paul Ryan is retiring, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi faces an uprising among younger Democrats and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy has not demonstrated the ability to collect the requisite 218 votes needed to become speaker. That makes Scalise, the House majority whip, a popular dark-horse pick to become speaker of the House—that is, if Republicans hold the majority. Scalise, one of Washington’s most reliably on-message lawmakers, is even more cautious than usual these days. He’s spending the home stretch of the election season traveling the country with his House Republican colleagues, raising money and collecting favors while hugging President Donald Trump at every turn. Right now, with a career-climaxing promotion potentially awaiting him next month, Scalise can’t afford to alienate Republicans on either end of Pennsylvania Avenue. The internal dynamics are fragile: McCarthy’s allies have eyed Scalise warily for months, worried that he is undermining his superior’s bid for speaker. Scalise, for his part, promises not to run against McCarthy for the top spot if Republicans hold the House, and moreover, he tells me, “I think Kevin would have the votes.” Politico's "Off Message" podcast is hosted by Tim Alberta. Zack Stanton is producer. Dave Shaw is executive producer. Intro/outro music by Podington Bear.

Our hosts, Sarah Kocianski and Simon Taylor sit down with two great guests: Alexa Fernandez, Open Innovation and Ecosystem Builder at BBVA, and Ryan Edwards-Pritchard, Managing Director at Funding Options to talk about the all the latest news in fintech. Including: Starling’s secret project, Royal Bank of Scotland has enlisted the online-only challenger Starling to assist in its secret project to build a standalone digital bank. Starling has signed “a contract to provide payment services to support new initiatives at RBS/NatWest”. The digital bank reported that its number of personal current accounts has risen to 210K from 43K last November with a average deposit of £900. Are challengers the future of banking - will enough people switch? The new wave of digital-only challengers is threatening to change the high street bank’s position as a fixture of the British financial experience. Monzo expects to have opened 1.5 million current accounts by the end of the year. Currently on 925,465, Starling on 210,000. Goldman Sachs’ Marcus come to the UK. Goldman Sachs has started rolling out its retail bank, Marcus, in the UK, starting with a savings account offered to its 6,000 staff in Britain. Marcus - named after the bank's founder Marcus Goldman - has already amassed more than $20bn in deposits and lent $3bn to customers in the US. In an internal memo, Goldman's Europe boss Richard Gnodde said a nationwide roll-out would follow "in the coming weeks". Warren Buffet invests in Paytm. Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett’s company, made moves to buy a 4% stake of Paytm’s parent company, One97 Communications. The talks have been ongoing since February. As part of the deal Berkshire Hathaway will pay between $300-350M to Paytm which would give it a valuation of over $10BN. Google Tez becomes Google Pay. Last September, Google launched Tez, an app for instant money transfers in India. Now the company announced it’s rebranding the app to Google Pay. It’s global payments services with what it’s built for India. Loan consolidation app Tally raises money to launch robo-advisor.

Wonga the payday lender which was once one of Britain's fastest-growing consumer finance companies, is on the brink of collapse this weekend following a deluge of customer compensation claims. 5 years ago Wonga were aiming to pursue a New York stock market listing that could have valued it more than $1bn and turned it into a British technology 'unicorn'. Wonga's decision go into administration comes three weeks after the company had received an emergency £10m cash injection to keep it afloat. Are cheques checking out? Debate over the future of cheques has been reignited amid a pay dispute at a company that has been printing cheques for more than 100 years. The use of cheques in the UK peaked in 1990, when there were more than four billion transactions a year. A total of 405 million cheques were processed in the UK last year.

Labor Day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of American workers…and their contributions to the strength, well-being, prosperity, and well-being of our country. This whole weekend is set aside to celebrate the value of our work. Last September, we walked through a series called Faith at Work and it helped us start viewing our work as a vital part of our spiritual life. We started seeing our work as a legitimate act of worship.

A panel discussion after a special screening of The Last September about the use of the Irish big house in cinema. With James Fennell (Burtown House), Fionnuala Ardee (Killruddery House) and location manager Colm Nolan (Love and Friendship, Penny Dreadful) hosted by Zoe Coleman from the Irish Georgian Society. Recorded at the Irish Film Institute on July 4th 2018.

Last September, new regulations were introduced to make it harder for landlords with four or more mortgaged properties to borrow money. The new regulations are designed to prevent irresponsible lending and introduce interest rate stress testing on buy-to-let mortgages for the first time. Mortgage lenders will now review the entire existing portfolio before deciding to lend on a new application. This could have a massive impact on any landlords with more than four properties, now deemed as a portfolio investor, especially if they are running the business on narrow margins.

Happy African-American History Month! During the month of February, US Citizenship Podcast explores the connection between the African American History and the USCIS Citizenship Interview. Our first interview is a re-edit of a Citizenship interview with Krestos Negasi (Addis Ababa, Ethiopia) 2013 pdf: http://goo.gl/roUigH   2016 mp3: http://traffic.libsyn.com/uscitizenpod/mlk-day-citizenship-interview.mp3  This mock Citizenship interview was inspired by “Holding the Bag," a high beginning ESL novel about an Ethiopian-American cab driver in Washington DC. After the interview, I will talk a little bit more about "Holding the Bag" and our resources for African American History Month. A bit more about "Holding the Bag" Negasi is a Washington DC taxi driver from Ethiopia who has been in the U.S. for many years and has a family. He accidentally becomes involved in a robbery and faces a moral issue. You can order "Holding the Bag" Ana Gianola or "Citizenship Passing the Test" by Lynn Weintraub from NewReadersPress.com.

More about "Holding the Bag" From July 5-July 21, 2017, I taught a combined ESL 2 and 3 class at Milpitas Adult School. We took this opportunity to study ESL/Citizenship and read "Holding the Bag," an ESL novel set in Washington DC that had many opportunities to study for the Citizenship interview. During our class, I posted daily audio files, videos, and online Citizenship activities related to each chapter of the book. After the class ended, we continued to post EdPuzzles of the VOA Learning English Presidents videos to our class website, MilpitasChat.com. Since this three-week summer school class ended, I am proud to announce that four students have since U.S. citizens--students who would normally not qualify for Citizenship class because of their low literacy level. Why did they pass? Because they had a goal: to become a U.S. citizen. To achieve their goal, they continued to study Citizenship and practice speaking English a little bit every day, inside and outside of the classroom.

DACA is Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals. This is an American immigration policy that allows some individuals who entered the country as minors, to live, work, and go to school in the United States with out fear of deportation. Last September, the Trump administration tried to end the DACA program. In January 2018, a federal judge said that USCIS must continue to renew DACA applications. On Jan 19, the US government shutdown for two days over a stalemate on DACA. At that time, Congress voted to defer a decison about DACA for three weeks. The deadline is coming up this week, on Feb 15. congress has still been unable to make a decision about DACA. Although a government shutdown does not affect USCIS citizenship services, take this is your opportunity to make your voice heard.

In this episode, we talk about USCIS, the Government shutdown,and how to contact your federal government representatives. The Government Shutdown does not affect Citizenship services. The USCIS will continue to process USCIS Form N-400 Applications for Naturalization and interview applicants for U.S. Citizenship. However, several USCIS programs will either expire or suspend operations, or be otherwise affected, until they receive appropriated funds or are reauthorized by Congress. These include: 1. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center Program. The EB-5 visa allows eligible Immigrant Investors to become lawful permanent residents by investing at least $1,000,000 to finance a business in the United States that will employ at least 10 American workers 2. E-Verify. This free internet-based system allows businesses to check the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. 3. Conrad 30 J-1 doctors. This program allows J-1 doctors to apply for a waiver of the two-year residence requirement after completing the J-1 exchange visitor program. 4. Religious workers. This special immigrant category allows non-minister religious workers to immigrate or adjust status in the United States.

Last September, U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry introduced proposed regulatory rule changes to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, in an attempt to prop-up the fading coal industry. After months of review, FERC has unanimously rejected Perry's proposal, a massive victory for renewable energy, the environment, and public health. Spencer and Andrew explain in this special Good News Minute,

Last September performance artist & Irish Sign Language interpreter Amanda Coogan spoke about what National recognition of ISL means to the Deaf Community. [Text for excerpt below] Amanda Coogan: As I was saying ISL is not legally recognised here in Ireland, it is in many European countries, in America and in western developed world and even in the under developed world some countries in under developed world as well. And more than and more than legal rights, access- information- in your preferred language as we might think the Irish Language act being debated in the North at the moment, how we use our first language Irish, here, it is much more fundamental in the Deaf community, it is much more fundamental, this ISL bill will allow them to go to the doctors and understand what the doctor is saying, to go to the bank and negotiate a mortgage to go to college and get access to tutors and lecturers and all these everyday things that if- because of your disability because of your lack of hearing it makes a big barrier to access these things without sign language interpreters. So this bill is super, super important for bridging these gaps that this community needs bridging and also the kind of amazing recognition that they are here and that they are enriching members of society, this gorgeous, multiplicity, ways of being, that this is a community that you couldn’t kill by banning sign language in the 50’s, by not allowing deaf people to marry all these kind of eugenic ideas that they’ve had- they couldn’t kill the community-it’s still here- and in some ways, this bill, will be a becoming for that, it will radically shift Deaf people’s perception of themselves but bringing some kind of national legal recognition as a language that has refused to die because actually human beings need to communicate and for these people trying to speak, trying to lip read just failed-to a natural language that is completely accessible for them which is ISL it is a unique-it is indigenous to Ireland, Britain has a different sign language-France has a different sign language- America has a different sign language because languages grow in the communities that use them. This is a beautifully pure language, it’s also linguistically gorgeous, it’s deliciously, it’s OTT ,over dramatic, reportage on the body, you have to be totally unashamed of anybody looking at you or your body, it really enriches Irish society, I would of course-advocate that-because it is my birth language-my first language but I don’t think I’m talking off the Richter scale there.

'Michigan's Kinross Prison Strike: Reflections from Inside' is an exclusive archive of audio interviews with people currently incarcerated in Michigan who witnessed and lived through the historic September 2016 prison strike. In this segment we hear the voice of Fred Williams. Fred Williams is a poet, emancipatory educator and abolitionist correspondent imprisoned at Michigan's Kinross Correctional Facility. His dispatch covers the poor systemic conditions that those inside face at the hands of the Michigan Department of Corrections, and particularly in the newly re-opened and renamed Kinross prison. Last September, increasing frustration led to a work stoppage and then a spontaneous march, when the facility declined to provide full meals in the face of the stoppage. Fred describes how the administrative staff told strikers that "some of your demands can only be granted by suits in Lansing," before housing unit officers fled their posts for the control center and the emergency response team entered the grounds with live ammunition. You can hear more voices from this report on our feed or by visiting www.michiganabolition.org. This collection of interviews was produced by Rustbelt Abolition Radio with the help of MAPS: Michigan Abolition & Prisoner Solidarity. Original music by Bad Infinity.

This is Unsolved Mysteries of the World, Season One, Episode 14, The Lost Lemon MineThe legend of the Lost Lemon Mine is one of the most enduring unsolved mysteries of the Canadian Rockies with adventure, murder, madness, ghosts and a curse at the heart of the story.The tale has many versions but we will stick to the most plausible one that begins in 1870 in Tobacco Plains Montana where a group of prospectors hearing that there could be gold in the rocky mountains of what the British were calling the Northwest Territories and present day province of Alberta in Canada.Two men from the group, Frank Lemon and his partner, a man known as “Blackjack”in the modern telling of the story, or Dancing Bill in previous accounts, set out on a route of their own to the Highwood Range. As they passed through the valley near The Highwood River they noticed outcroppings of minerals that would indicate that just below them were most likely veins of gold.Not wanting to share the discovery with the others, the two men made quick work and located a small vein and took samples from the rock. They would need some samples to take back to an assayer to determine the quality and also to convince wealthier individuals to bankroll the mining effort.Once they had collected a sufficient number of ore samples, the pair set up camp for the night. They planned to begin heading back to Montana early the next morning.Sometime during the night, Frank Lemon, convinced that Blackjack was going to cut him loose from the claim, took a pick-axe and drove it into Blackjack as he slept killing him in after several violent swings.But Blackjack remained. Frank Lemon stumbled backwards and stayed close to the fire all night as the vision of Blackjack haunted him. Frank Lemon later stated that glowing eyes watched him from the darkness and the translucent form of Blackjack was haunting him throughout the night and into the next day. Frightened, he set off for Tobacco Plains and confessed his evil deed to a priest.The Priest indicated that perhaps the only solution to stop the haunting was to give Blackjack a proper burial and a man named John McDougall was sent north to find and bury Blackjack’s corpse.After following Lemon's directions, he found the corpse and buried him in a shallow grave covered with stones. Upon returning to Tobacco Plains, he learned that the burial did nothing to stop the tormenting of Lemon. The Priest indicated that not only did Jack Lemon appear insane, but he was at times possessed by some sort of evil spirit, perhaps one that previously convinced him to carry out the murder itself.But insane or not, possessed by evil spirits or not, the lure of gold was too strong and a group of men encouraged Jack Lemon to accompany them back to the area to find the lost gold. At first, Lemon seemed almost normal, but as he drew closer to the area where he murdered Blackjack he started going insane and when he reached the area he was totally uncontrollable. One man subdued Lemon, and rode back to Tobacco Plains with Lemon bound to a horse. Once in Tobacco Plains he seemed less frequently bothered by the spirit of Blackjack and what other evils bothered him. He decided to travel to Texas to live with his brother, but years later, the ghost of Blackjack followed him there and he was forever tormented by the haunting.The men who were looking for Lemon's lost gold were unsuccessful. Several fell ill, while others gave up early when no sign of gold, or indications at least, that gold may be present were noted. The entire expedition was a bust.McDougall, the trapper who had buried Blackjack a year previous was hired to lead a party of prospectors back to the site to find the gold. On his way to meet the group he stopped in Fort Kipp, Montana. He would never leave this place; he ended up drinking himself to death taking the location of the mine with him to his grave.Lafayette French, the one who funded the original expedition went searching on his own for the mine. He searched in vain for close to 30 years with the help of the Blackfoot tribe. On a few of his expeditions, he lost some of his men to unknown sicknesses.Over the course of many years many prospectors tried to relocate the lost gold but all came up empty handed or ended in disaster – forest fires, death, illness and even another prospector coming down with the same type of possession noted in Lemon.Upon returning from his last expedition, he wrote a cryptic letter to a friend that stated he had found the location and would explain everything when he had the opportunity. After mailing the letter he made camp in an old log cabin close to the town of High River. Mysteriously that night his cabin was burned to the ground, with French inside. The location of the mine, once again, gone.Rumours swirled that a medicine man with the Blackfoot tribe had been watching Lemon and Blackjack and also witnessed what Lemon had done and had put a curse on the gold and the general area.Even natives in the area, throughout the decades also tried to find the mine, but were fruitless in their search.Geologists have always claimed the chances of the story being true are remote because by contrast to say, the neighbouring province of British Columbia, Alberta has very little gold due to the lack of prehistoric volcanic activity in the area.However, in the mid-1980s, Ron Stewart, a geological technician for the University of Alberta in Edmonton, began a serious search for the lost lemon mine and the $7 Billion dollars in gold it is keeping secret.'It turns out there is a basis of truth for the old legend,' Stewart said in an interview. 'I'm still in a state of shock.'It took Stewart 18 months to determine the mine's location. He said there was mention in the various stories and diaries he read of the Crowsnest Pass Lake, located near the site of the Lost Lemon Mine. Across the mine's upper limit is the Racehorse Creek, which was also mentioned in early accounts of the mine.An account of the prospectors' trip written in an 1870 edition of the Rocky Mountain Daily Gazette provided Stewart with additional information, suggesting to him the mine was located in the Crowsnest Pass near the town of Coleman.Stewart believes he has pinpointed the mine's location and has conducted a number of sample studiesestimating there are 17 million or more ounces of gold in a 150-square-mile area near the town of Coleman in the Crowsnest Pass.The bonanza discovered by Blackjack and Lemon was said to exist in acidic, volcanic rock, much like the gold formations in the state of Nevada.According to Stewart, geological maps revealed there was only one area in the Crowsnest Pass with volcanic rock.Last September, Stewart collected a number of samples from a six mile area near Coleman that were later found to contain 'significant gold values,' including some very rich samples taken from along the highway that runs past the town.'I was completely taken by surprise,' Stewart said. 'The gold was precisely where you would expect to find it. It was much too easy.'Stewart said he has taken a lot of ribbing about looking for lost mines, but figures he and partners Bob Cantin, an Edmonton businessman, and T. Gilbert Cook, owner of a lumber company, are 'right on the money.'The three formed a private company called Crowsnest Metals which staked a 25-square-mile claim near Coleman. An adjacent claim was filed by Ventana Equities, a public company that lists hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as a director.Stewart said his claim, which covers only a small portion of the 150 square miles of gold-bearing formation, is probably the easiest to mine because it is closest to the surface. In other areas, the gold is found at depths of 1600 feet.However, it is reported later, after a frenzy of gold fever, the gold that was found was poorly concentrated in the ore, and uneconomical to recover.And today prospectors of various backgrounds continue to search for the Lost Lemon Mine as its location still remains a mystery.However, an old prospector with the alias Jimmy White believes he has an answer to the unsolved mystery. Jimmy White told historians he came to Fort Steele in British Columbia at about age 12 in the year 1885 and prospected for gold. Here, he says he had met Jack Lemon on several occations and found him to be ornery and tended to spend all his money on liqueur.One time, Jimmy remembered Lemon had came to Fort Steele to seek help from a bullet wound in his leg to which the North West Mounted Police investigated. Lemon is said to have told the NWMP that Indians had attacked him and his partner Blackjack and that Blackjack was killed. Jimmy remembered that Blackjack was Lemon's partner but he had sometimes gone under the name McGowan. Once patched up Lemon packed up and said he was leaving for Montana.According to Jimmy he learned that Blackjack was not dead at all and that after an argument and a shootout over the gold, Blackjack believed he had killed Lemon and rode out to California where he admitted himself into a Sanitorium to cure his ailing lung disease and a case of smallpox. His caretaker, a man named McIver, is said to have nursed him back to health and the two became friends. Blackjack drew a crude map of the location of the lost mine and the two planned on retrieving the gold together but it seems McIver made this journey alone. It is not known if Blackjack passed away during his time recovering in the Sanitorium.McIver is said to have travelled to Fort Steele and met up with a surveyer by the name of Bill Essay who helped him pinpoint the location of the map.The map location led to a cabin, who Lemon and Blackjack were using. McIver was instructed to dig up the floorboards to find a stash of gold. The gold was said to never come from a lost mine in Alberta, but was stolen gold, as both Lemon and Blackjack were bushwackers who would steal gold from prospectors in BC and hide it in the cabin to later transport and spend in Montana.White indicated the cabin was only about 15 miles from Fort Steele along a creek, however, he indicted the gold was long gone, dug up and spent by McIver.According to White, Lemon made up a story of a mine so that others seeing him use gold to buy provisions, alcohol and prostitutes would not cause suspicion of his criminal deeds.He says that when Lemon would not identify the location of the mine to others and the growing suspicion that he had murdered Blackjack (who remember went to California), he fled to Montana and then disappeared to history.Native storytelling tells us the mine location was most likely further north in Alberta, most likely by Morley, Alberta, however, no gold has ever been found in this vicinity. There are stories of tribal elders holding nuggets of gold, and being sworn to protect the location of the mine, however, even Natives such as Chief Bearspaw tried to locate the gold for decades with no luck. Chief Bearspaw said he knew of no gold on the eastern slopes of the Rockies and therefore often travelled into British Columbia to seek out the treasure. He later accepted the fact that the whole story may have been fabricated and that both Lemon and Blackjack were simply thieves with stolen gold.This mystery it seems, will forever attract prospectors to the region as there is a group currently investigating volcanic rock formations around Coleman and Blairmore Alberta in hopes to find the lost treasure and perhaps when they do find some evidence another gold rush will commence.Until then. Happy Hunting.Please join us next time on Unsolved Mysteries of the World as we unravel the Zachary Ramsay Disappearance. If you enjoyed this podcast, please remember to subscribe, rate and review.

In this WRLWND Radio podcast, Free calls with Google Home, Motorola may be working on a phone that features a self-repairing display and researchers believe they’ve figured out a solution for video buffering. Show Notes: "Hey Google, call Mom" Google is rolling out an update to its Google Home smart speaker that lets you make calls to any phone number in the US and Canada for free. So, if you are looking to ditch your landline, then this might be a replacement to look at.  One thing to note though is that you can't call 911 with Google Home. If you have a Google Home, what are you waiting for, say “Hey Google, Call ...," and you’ll be on your way. Motorola meets Deadpool A new patent recently published by the US Patent and Trademark Office shows that Motorola may be working on a phone that features a self-repairing display. The technology would allow the device to analyze the display's structure, spot issues, and slowly use heat to modify the scraped area by remoulding it in a way as close as possible to the original. Motorola already offers shatterproof displays with its Moto Z Force lineup of phones, which offer a much increased durability over regular front panels. No more video buffering A group of MIT researchers believe they’ve figured out a solution to video buffering annoyances plaguing millions of people a day. The researchers have developed “Pensieve,” an artificial intelligence (AI) system that uses machine learning to pick different algorithms depending on network conditions. In doing so, it has been shown to deliver a higher-quality streaming experience with less rebuffering than existing systems. YouTube and Netflix already strive to do, but their systems currently have to make a trade-off between the quality of the video versus how often it has to rebuffer in order to prepare the next segment of the clip for viewing. The technology could also prove useful in applications like streaming high-resolution VR content which is their next project.  Tech Bytes for the week: Netflix announced that in 2018 it will spend $7 billion on content. The vast majority of the $7 billion will be spent on licensed content. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) issued a recall on batteries used in the Galaxy Note 4. The power supplies are being recalled due to the potential to “overheat, posing burn and fire hazards.” The CPSC urges anyone with an affected device to immediately stop using it and power it down. Last September, Samsung issued a recall of all Galaxy Note 7s due to a similar problem. Jawbone is making the move from consumer wearables to medical devices. Jawbone is looking to build a heart health bracelet that would use white light to warn you when your tissue isn't getting enough blood, warning you of a potential heart attack or similar failure. And that's not all, Jawbone is hoping to land a partnership with Microsoft.

World Policy Institute — Last September, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was removed from office on charges of illegally using Central Bank funds to conceal the budget deficit amid a worsening economy and growing corruption scandals. On this week's episode of World Policy On Air, we speak with professor of political studies at Bard College Omar G. Encarnación about the misogynistic political culture that helped bring down Rousseff.

Last September, 2016, I spent 2 hrs talking to composer and sound designer Richard Feren. We spoke about his early career in radio, at the age of 13, through his time in the explosion of indi theatre in Toronto in the early 90's and his work with iconic directors like Daniel Brooks. We land on his process for producing sound scapes and scores for theatre and the genesis of his modern method, from the early days of the Fostex 4-track cassette to Qlab. We finally land on his work in organizing designers to fight back against the cuts to fees in Canada. This is a 2 hr chat, but one that holds on to you at every minute.

Hello lovely listeners, it’s Liza flying solo today. This is our season two wrap-up and I wanted to let you know how incredibly grateful Dani and I are for your continued support over the last few months. Last September, when we decided to start recording these episodes, we never would’ve imagined the amazing opportunities that would present themselves through this endeavor. It’s been truly amazing getting to sit down with these incredible women to hear their stories, their struggles and victories, and get to share this all with such a fantastic community. We’ve decided to make this season shorter than our first for a few reasons. One, our personal businesses and commitments have increased for the next couple of months and we want to make sure that we’re giving our best effort to those. And two, we want to make sure we’re giving the podcast the attention it deserves, so we thought it best have a shorter, more curated season. You also might have noticed, we’ve also been experimenting with mixing up episode formats and including more content on social media, and we’re hoping to spend the next few months really solidifying those so we can launch season three with some awesome content and interviews for you. So, while Dani and I are spending the next few months getting our shit together, you’re welcome to join the Facebook group, and continue chatting with us there, and we look forward to seeing you for season three. You can join the Facebook group over at facebook.com/doitscaredpodcast.

Today's interview is with Gret Glyer. Gret spent 3 years living in Malawi, Africa doing poverty alleviation work. This included building houses for orphans and widows, providing mosquito nets to malaria infested areas, and crowdfunding a $100,000 girls school in a rural village. Last September he moved home to launch his startup: DonorSee. DonorSee is an app that helps donors see exactly where there money goes when they donate using picture and video updates. In our interview, Gret talk about: The conditions in Malawi that inspired Gret to start a poverty elimination app. Why traveling to a 3rd world country or launching an app is like taking a leap of faith. How donation campaigns have been run for ever and why they are so inefficient.

Dan Martell is one of my OWN mentors. Last September, I traveled to the Archangel summit in Toronto, Canada to listen to Seth Godin, Gary Vaynerchuk and Robin Sharma. As lunchtime rolled around, I wanted to leave and get a sandwich; but then Dan Martell was introduced. His talk was so compelling in the first TWO minutes that I stopped short of the door and sat back down. When I finally DID go for lunch, my phone died. I didn't check my messages for six hours. When I did, I discovered several missed text messages from Dan himself. Dan is a CrossFitter. His coach saw my post about attending Archangel, and texted Dan to meet "the CrossFit business guy." I'm now part of Dan's mastermind group--15 entrepreneurs from all over North America who are growing their business from the $2 to $5 million mark. On the podcast today, Dan is going to be talking about how he helps entrepreneurs obtain better focus, scale their business, and maintain their entrepreneurial confidence. This is not my typical "how-to" episode, but there are almost a dozen strategies you can use TODAY to become better at business, relationships and life. Like man, Dan prioritizes "perfect day" thinking instead of "just do more work". After all, more work isn't the goal: a better life IS.

Last September, I covered an agent’s roundtable event for Camera Angles. The event was part of the Emerging Cinematographer Awards, a way to bring advice for how to make it in the film industry to the award winners. The chair of the awards is cinematographer Jimmy Matlosz, and he gave the up and coming honorees some great advice during the event. I sat down with Jimmy at his home to discuss what exactly a cinematographer does, his work process, and his latest project. See the accompanying article here.

Last September, a toxic bloom of cyanobacteria, or blue-green algae, covered a 636-mile stretch of the Ohio River like a rancid, reeking green carpet. With toxic blue-green algae seeming to appear with greater and greater frequency both regionally and across the country, we invited Dr. Miriam Kannan, Regents professor of NKU in the Department of Biological Sciences, as well as Dr. Michael Waters, assistant professor in NKU’s Department of Mathematics and Statistics, to teach us about cyanobacteria—when it’s dangerous, why it’s becoming more common around the region and across the planet, how can to identify it using a new mobile app they are creating.

Welche Talente benötigt man, um Autor und Ensemble-Mitglied bei einer Late Night Show zu werden? Darüber hinaus berichtet Will von seinen Anfängen im Comedy-Genre auf YouTube und wie er mit Formaten wie «Jokey McFun Gag» oder «Nils Fischer geht viral» seine ersten Schritte als Autor und Darsteller vor der Kamera wagte. Abgerundet wird das Gespräch mit einigen Podcast-Anekdoten zu Wills Formaten «Das Podcast Ufo» und «Last September in Monaco».

Trooper Justin Hansen was nominated by Keith Squires, Utah's Commissioner of Public Safety, who wrote the following letter: "The intention of this email is to explain (or attempt to explain) why I think Justin Hansen is a great asset to the Department of Public Safety but especially to the Aero Bureau. I will list a couple of bullet points or characteristic traits and give a few examples and stories about him: - Dedication and commitment - It is not always as easy and glamorous to be a TFO as people think. There are many late night call outs that result in long hours. The TFO position is a secondary assignment with a very high knowledge and efficiency requirement and in order to maintain that knowledge and efficiency there is a lot of training required. It also requires a lot of the TFO's own time to be proficient at the various tools. Justin has shown a very high interest level and a strong desire to be the best he can be, often calling me in the evening or early morning just to discuss an idea that he had to make the unit better. He puts in a full time effort for a part time assignment. Advertise with usReport this ad - Professional - One of Justin's greatest talents is his ability to professionally talk to whomever we are working with. The helicopter is used to support agencies throughout the state. When we arrive on scene it is the TFO's job to brief with the Sheriff or Search and Rescue Commander to come up with a plan of how to use the helicopter. Every situation is different and I have been very impressed with the way Justin has represented the Highway Patro and DPSl in these situations. He has always been able to meet the needs of the Sheriff and devise a safe plan of action for the helicopter crew. - "Street Smarts" - I briefly mentioned above that every situation that we go to is different. One of the things that makes Justin so valuable to our unit is his "street smarts" or his common sense. Flying in the helicopter presents its own challenges and trying to use all of our tools to the benefit of the mission would test the abilities of any Trooper. Justin has the ability to overcome these challenges and be very effective. He has great ideas on where we could be of most use, and what we need to do to be effective. - Kind - I know that this is usually not something that people think of when they think of Police Officers. When we rescue people they are having a very bad day. The whole situation can seem intimidating, they are embarrassed that the helicopter had to be called. It would be very easy in these situations for the TFO to just load the victim into the helicopter and transport them the couple of minutes to the command post and then leave. Justin goes out of his way to make sure the victims are comfortable with the situation and that their needs are met before we depart. There is a lot more I could say about what Justin adds to our unit, but to avoid sounding like this is a eulogy I will end there with the bullet points. Justin has been on numerous rescues where his actions have directly affected the outcome of the mission. There are people alive in this state because of the things that he has done. Last September he was on the mission to search for a missing hiker on Lone Peak, the hiker was located but deceased. Recovery efforts were underway when the rope from one the rescuers on the ground was pulled into the main rotor causing significant damage. The helicopter spent about 15 seconds rotating very rapidly and hitting into the side of the mountain, but was able to fly away and land safely. Justin suffered a severe concussion and whiplash from this incident. Even though he has been out of work since the incident, he usually doesn't let more than two days go by without calling me to see how things are going in the unit, with an idea on how to improve, and express a desire to get back to work."

Last September during Harvest Jazz & Blues Festival in Fredericton NB, 95.7 The Wolf held an in studio series where they interviewed performing artists. One artist scheduled was JJ Grey. I asked the station manager if they would allow me to interview him. They agreed and I had a rare opportunity to sit with one of my favourite singer/songwriters and front men and discuss music and life. We dug deep and found a fantastic conversation that touches on live performance, songwriting and what it means to connect. Enjoy.

Every once in a while, you come across a person who has a story that is so extraordinary, it feels like they've lived a life destined to become an Academy Award-winning movie. Last September, I had the honor of hearing Barbara Abelhauser tell her story at Fresh Ground Stories in Seattle and, immediately, HAD to meet her afterwards. Lucky for me, she became my friend, and it was because of her encouragement and trusting spirit that this podcast is even a thing. Thanks for being my first story, Barbara, and thank you for showing me how a life lived outside the ordinary is a life that is always worth pursuing.

I hate to do this right out of the gate, but I have to start the show off with an apology to our network and the affiliates. And, of course, you – the listener. This edition is meant to be an episode of Succotash Clips, wherein we feature clips, just clip, and nothing but clips. But I have a bit of a chat to toss in, too. It’s just a smidge of a chat, really. Friend of the show, past guest, fellow podcaster, and comedian Paul Mecurio called me up and said he was heading for the San Francisco Punchline this week (March 4-7) and could we chat up his appearance. I don’t know that we’ve got that kind of impact on an audience, but I do know that there are Succotashians in the Bay Area so I agreed and we did it. It was via Skype from New York and the only worse than the quality of a Skype call is a Skype call where one of the people has laryngitis. Paul also has a new comedy CD out, called It’s Not Me, It’s The World, so we’ll hear a track off of that as well.  But after that, I SWEAR the rest of the show is clips. For reals. Except of a double dose of our Burst O’ Durst segment with comedian and social commentator Will Durst. Oh, and a Henderson’s Pants ad. And the Tweetsack. But the rest? All clips. The delay for this ‘sode of Succotash making it to your ears was because I was suffering a miserable bout of laryngitis. Every other ailment in the world wouldn’t matter so, of course, a podcaster gets the one thing that keeps him off mic — no voice. You’ll get to hear how that sounded though, because I barely had my voice back last week when I interview Paul Mercurio. Here’s what’s in the bushel basket o’ clippage we have in store for this show: Pass The Gravy, Proudly Resents, Sibling Rivalry, Soda Press, The Geep And Gam Show, and This Damn World. In addition, we unveil our NEW segment this week! It’s the brainchild of our associate producer Tyson Saner and we call it the Podcast Graveyard! When the time is right, we’ll feature a clip from a podcast that is no longer with us. CLIPS   Pass The GravyKicking off this show’s official rasher of clips with a show that requested we give them a listen. So Tyson wandered out into the podcast wilderness and brought back a sample of Pass The Gravy, with hosts Alex Middleton - I assume no relation to England’s Princess Kate Middleton – and his partner in crime Curtis Chaffin, also – it is assumed - not related to Kate Middleton. On their website they claim to solve the world’s problems one episode at a time, so it’s nice to know someone is taking care of those matters. They also claim that it is “the podcast nobody is listening to and everyone is talking about”. In this dollop from Pass The Gravy – and, really, what could be more natural than gravy and succotash – the hosts get into dolphin love. Deep into it.     Proudly ResentsWe haven’t featured friend–of-Succotash Adam Spiegelman and his podcast Proudly Resents in a while. And Adam knows that because he listens. So being a proactive podcaster, he sent us in a clip from his recent interview, a second visit with director Eric Schaeffer. (I’m doing a little back-to-back with Proudly Resents this week. This clip was from his show about a month ago, but I’m also reviewing a more recent episode for This Week In Comedy Podcasts on Splitsider.com and for the Huffington Post, where his guest was TV producer Todd Yasui and there’s some amazing behind the scenes stuff revealed about The Tonight Show when Jay Leno was just starting out as the host as well as some revealing “inside baseball” info about the nuts and bolts of talk show television.) Soda PressWe started getting some very kind retweets and mentions from a new podcast out there called Soda Press, hosted by a guy named Andy Thomas. And then he went and gave us a big ol’ shoutout at the top of a recent episode. So the least we can do is clip him for you. Soda Press episodes are pretty short, and feature Andy monologing about a given topic which spins off into related microrants. We have a snippet of him going off about gross gym wipedown towels. Sibling RivalryKudos to our friends at the Sibling Rivalry podcast – that would be Jeremy, Stacy, and Aaron — for being savvy enough to know that the EASIEST way to get your comedy podcast clip on our show is to use our custom upload URL through Hightail (http://www.hightail.com/u/Succotash). That’s what our pals over at SibRiv used to get this clip to us, from a recent episode where they’re talking about some unique offers from strip clubs. (I have to also issue an apology to the SibRiv guys. Jeremy and Stacy were good enough to join me in the Podast Lab at the 3rd Annual LA Podcast Festival at the end of LAST SEPTEMBER for an interview. And I still haven’t gotten a chance to play it on the show — along with about a half a dozen others. At  this point, I may have to issue the interviews as special Succotash Chats halfisodes and just dump them out there. Sorry, guys…) The Geep & Gam ShowHosts Geep and Gam run their podcast out of…well, I don’t where the heck they’re from. But they asked us via Twitter if we’ve give’em a listen and clip ‘em and that’s what our stalwart associate producer Tyson Saner has done. In this slice, the show is playing host to two other podcast hosts, Diamond Dave and Aaron Corbett of Canada’s The Cool Story Show. This Damn WorldAnother show that reached out via Twitter and asked if we’d give ‘em a sniff is the This Damn World podcast, hosted by Dom and Jenn. iTunes describes the show as “a longform conversational podcast” with topics ranging from news, life, and all around creative. The clip we have is from last month, snipped by Tyson out of an episode called “The One Where We Get Sweaty”. Okie dokie. Succotash Clips with just a side of chat is kaputski. If you’re in the San Francisco area, remember to catch our friend Paul Mecurio this weekend, that’s March 4th through the 7th, at the Punchline. We’ll be back soon with an episode of Succotash Chats, where I’ll be speaking with comedian/podcaster and warmup guy for The Nightly Show, Kevin Bartini. See you then. In the meantime, please remember to pass the Succotash!

Today, April 29th, we offer two features: Baseball Vision (starts at 5:42): The major league baseball season is now in full “swing.” Fans may  take it for granted that these professional athletes are in top physical condition.  What’s less known is how important it is for baseball players to have perfect eyesight.  Batters in particular have some of the best vision in the world.  To find out how scientists know this, and study it, and even make it better, How on Earth's Shelley Schlender last month headed down to spring training in Arizona.  There, she caught up with two of the nation's top experts on the science of vision, and sports. Emerald Ash Borer (starts at 11:21): It’s been called the most destructive looming pest blight to hit Colorado in ages. The perpetrator in question is the emerald ash borer, a small shimmery green beetle. It is believed to have hitchhiked to the U.S. and Canada on cargo ships, or airplanes, from its native Asia, in 2002. Since then it has wiped out  millions of ash trees in many states. Last September, the ash borer was first found in Colorado. Ash trees have had no time to develop resistance against the exotic invader.  And meanwhile, the ash borer has no predators here to keep it in check. Dr. Whitney Cranshaw, an entomologist at Colorado State University, talks with host Susan Moran about what we should know about the emerald ash borer.

Last September

Last September, Ian Buxton gave us a preview of his "Classic Expressions" series of vintage whisky books, lovingly re-printed under the guidance of Ian and publisher Neil Wilson. Back then, Ian was looking for founding subscribers to support the printing of the first two books in the series. Now, "Reminiscenses of a Gauger" by Joseph Pacy and Ian MacDonald's "Smuggling in the Highlands" are available for a new generation of whisky lovers to enjoy. Ian and Neil have three more classics in the pipeline, and we'll get an update from Ian in this episode. In the news, Talisker gets a new manager, Canadian Club celebrates Dario Franchitti's Indy 500 victory, and the Indian spirits tariff dispute may have a resolution soon.
