The Chinook salmon of the Yukon River are on the brink of extinction. This cultural keystone species has the longest salmon migration in the world, up to 3,200 kilometres. But warming waters caused by climate change, along with other stresses, have decimated their numbers, forcing a seven-year fishing ban. For Indigenous communities in the region, this is not only an environmental tragedy but also a loss for their culture. In her documentary Ghosts in Their Nets, Laura Lynch takes us to Whitehorse, Yukon, where she meets First Nations leaders and advocates who are leading the charge to protect the species and demanding that the irreplaceable Chinook salmon be better taken care of. The doc was produced by Laura Lynch and Rachel Sanders, with help from Molly Segal, Mathias Wolfsohn, Catherine Rolfsen and Joan Webber with the CBC Audio Documentary Unit / The doc originally aired on What on Earth.

Are you feeling stuck in the traditional path of life? Ever wondered if there's another way to live that aligns more closely with your core values? Laura Lynch's journey from a corporate career and a big house to tiny living might just inspire you to make a change. Like many of us, Laura followed the prescribed path: education, a steady job, and homeownership. But during the pandemic, she had a moment of realization that this path wasn't a good fit for her. This led her to explore tiny living, a lifestyle that has brought her much closer to her true self and values. Laura credits Brene Brown's book, "Dare to Lead," for helping her identify her core values. Through exercises and deep reflection, she discovered that independence and exploration were essential to her happiness. This revelation set her on a path to downsize her life significantly. She moved from a 2300 square foot house to a tiny home, embracing a minimalist lifestyle that allowed her to focus on what truly mattered. One of the most challenging aspects of this transition was letting go of material possessions, especially those with sentimental value. Laura shares her struggles with downsizing, from parting with family heirlooms to finding new homes for her belongings. She emphasizes that this process is iterative and requires a lot of self-exploration and compassion. Living in a tiny house has also brought practical challenges. Laura talks about the importance of finding legal parking for tiny homes and the need for additional functional spaces. Despite these hurdles, she and her husband have managed to create a fulfilling life that aligns with their values. They now live debt-free, with more time and freedom to explore the great outdoors. Laura's story is a testament to the power of aligning your life with your core values. It's a journey of self-discovery, emotional resilience, and ultimately, joy. If you're contemplating a major life change or simply interested in the tiny living movement, this episode is a must-listen.

In episode 134, we explore a new topic on the show: impact investing. In one of the very first episodes of this podcast, we discussed how living sustainably can actually save you money, but what are you actually doing with the money you save? Investing can be a big undertaking and is a topic that many people often avoid (me included). But aligning investments with my values instead of investing in companies that actively contribute to environmental degradation made this topic a bit more on brand. Since I am far from an expert in this arena, I had the pleasure of hosting Laura Lynch. Laura is the founder of The Tiny House Adviser, a financial planner, podcast host, and tiny house enthusiast.

Claire Hafner at 47, is among the top women boxers in the world. She's just about ready for retirement but wants to win the Canadian title before hanging up her gloves. However, a question hangs over the timing of when retirement will come. Claire is also among a small group of women athletes who are participating in a landmark study on the effects of trauma in mostly combat sports. Every year she gets tested for signs of head trauma to see if all those hits are leading to a long-term degenerative brain condition, known as CTE or chronic traumatic encephalopathy.In this documentary we follow Claire to Las Vegas where she's undergoing a new round of tests, and if they show a sign of decline, she's going to retire before attempting to win that last Canadian title. At the end of the show we'll hear another documentary about boxing, but this one with a surprising twist. We're going to drop you into a chess boxing match in London,UK. You can win by a KO or by checkmate. That documentary was reported by Laura Lynch back in 2011 for Dispatches.Reported and produced by Katie Nicholson.

Interest in "tiny living" is getting bigger. But what is it, really--what are the benefits, and what do you sacrifice by "going small"? Tiny house enthusiast Laura Lynch shares what inspired her to trade in her 2300-square-foot house for a home about one-fifth that size; the process of downsizing ("do you own your stuff, or does your stuff own you?"); and the wonderfully supportive "tiny" community (of people living in not just small homes, but also vans, schoolies, RVs, and more). Laura also is a financial planner and helps others with the practical matters involved in transitioning their lifestyles.

pWotD Episode 2427: The Chicks Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 419,934 views on Sunday, 24 December 2023 our article of the day is The Chicks.The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) are an American country music band from Dallas, Texas. Since 1995, the band has consisted of Natalie Maines (lead vocals, guitar) and sisters Martie Maguire (vocals, fiddle, mandolin, guitar) and Emily Strayer (vocals, guitar, banjo, Dobro). Maguire and Strayer, both née Erwin, founded the band in 1989 in Dallas, Texas, with bassist Laura Lynch and vocalist and guitarist Robin Lynn Macy. They performed bluegrass and country music, busking and touring the bluegrass festival circuits and small venues for six years without attracting a major label. In 1992, Macy left and Lynch became the lead vocalist. Upon signing with Monument Records Nashville in 1997 and replacing Lynch with Maines, the Dixie Chicks achieved success with their albums Wide Open Spaces (1998) and Fly (1999). After Monument closed its Nashville branch, the Dixie Chicks moved to Columbia Records for Home (2002). These albums achieved multi-platinum sales in the United States, Canada, and Australia, along with several charting singles on the American Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. "There's Your Trouble", "Wide Open Spaces", "You Were Mine", "Cowboy Take Me Away", "Without You", and a cover of Bruce Robison's "Travelin' Soldier" reached number one. The Dixie Chicks also reached number one on the Adult Contemporary chart with their 2002 cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide".Days before the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Maines told a London audience that the Dixie Chicks did not endorse the war and were ashamed of US President George W. Bush being from Texas. The remarks triggered boycotts in the US and a backlash from fans. After a hiatus, the Dixie Chicks released Taking the Long Way in 2006, an album informed by the backlash. "Not Ready to Make Nice" became their biggest crossover single, reaching number four on the Billboard Hot 100. After another hiatus, Maguire and Strayer released an album in 2009 as the Court Yard Hounds. The Dixie Chicks reunited to tour in the 2010s. In 2020, they removed "Dixie" from their name, citing negative connotations, and released their first album in 14 years, Gaslighter.The Chicks have won 13 Grammy Awards, including five in 2007 for Taking the Long Way, which received the Grammy Award for Album of the Year, and its single "Not Ready to Make Nice", which received the Grammy Award for Record of the Year and the Grammy Award for Song of the Year. By July 2020, with 33 million certified albums sold and sales of 27.9 million albums in the US, the Chicks had become the best-selling all-woman band and best-selling country group in the US during the Nielsen SoundScan era (1991–present).This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:58 UTC on Monday, 25 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see The Chicks on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Aria Neural.

Pay increases found in the CUES Executive Compensation Survey this year range from 3% to 7%, depending on the position. Scott Hackworth says in this episode of the CUES Podcast that these figures are significant considering how much uncertainty is present in the overall economy right now. Even though no one knows what's going to happen next, “this urge or this need to maintain consistency, especially amongst the top executives, that need has really risen and become more prominent than ever,” explains Hackworth, president of Industry Insights Inc., CUES' partner in doing both the CUES Executive Compensation Survey and CUES Employee Salary Survey. “And because of that, there's the increase in compensation.”Hackworth said that the pandemic has shown many employees and executives that working from home works for them, at least some of the time. He says credit unions that want to attract and keep top talent will need to consider flexible work in their offering compensation programs.“Some of those pieces, the wellness packages, along with the overall compensation will win in the long run,” he says in the show. “The power of the employee has become larger than it has been in a really long time. And definitely (consider) the shakeup that happened, where anytime there's change, there's new thoughts, there's new developments. And so certainly having the employee now feel empowered, and being able to say, “Hey, you know what, I've been working from home five days a week. I think I can still work from home three days a week and get, you know, I'll be in the office, can we make that work? Can we do this flexibility?” And those are all parts of that discussion that were they would have been laughed at five years ago.”CUES products and services manager, Laura Lynch, explains in the show how both CUES member and non-member credit unions can get access to customized compensation data.“Our credit unions can go online to pull reports,” Lynch says. “It's a nice tool that allows you to cut your data as you want it—so, choosing your own peer group, whether that be by asset by region, things like that. “Any credit union that is a CUES Unlimited+ member gets complimentary access to the executive compensation reports as well as the employee compensation report, so they can go to the CUES website to find that. “Anyone who's not a CUES Unlimited+ member can purchase access. And they can also do that via our website.
