The end of 2025 means that it's time to look back at all of the bikes and gear used by the Velo tech editors and make some difficult decisions. Today's episode sees Josh Ross and Alvin Holbrook explain the Road Bike of the Year nominees, which included the Colnago Y1RS and Lightspeed's Coll dels Reis, and why neither of those fancy machines took the overall win. We also get a bit heated over the Gravel Bike of the Year, Innovation of the Year, and finally, Product of the Year. The second half of today's show sees Levy, Alvin, and Josh list out their personal best-of-2025 product picks, which include everything from "budget" power meters, definitely not budget indoor trainer bikes, 13-speed drivetrains from Italy, 12-speed drivetrains from America, an AI assistant, and a whole load of music recommendations.

2025 was a noisy year.Policy changes, interest rate adjustments and geopolitical roller coasters kept CRE on their toes.With financing loosening up and transactions picking up, the groundwork is being laid for a better 2026, but where is a safe investment in a world where fundamentals seem to be shifting?CBRE Global Client Strategist and Senior Economic Advisor Spencer Levy said he advises his clients to wade through the noise and look at the drivers in New York, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami and the Midwest to really see what's on the horizon for CRE. These include the reshoring of manufacturing and the train from Mexico to Canada, which carries nearly $2T in trade each year.“You follow that durable demand driver, that infrastructure, despite some of the tariff noise, despite some of the trade noise, despite some of the political changes — that's the time to find opportunity,” Levy said.

Podcast 243 The Conversation: Unforeseen Encounters in Life: "In the Providential Hand of God”© 2025 ISBN978-976-97788-6-3AbstractThis paper examines Literature Review :The Conversation: Unforeseen Encounters in Life: "In the Providential Hand of God”© 2025 ISBN978-976-97788-6-3(2025), exploring how near-misses—events that narrowly avoid catastrophe—serve as a lens for understanding risk, providence, and human vulnerability. The narrative, set in a quiet suburb, follows a global citizen whose day is punctuated by several near-miss encounters, each revealing the fragility of seemingly calm daily life. Drawing on psychological, theological, technological, and scientific perspectives, this paper contextualizes the protagonist's experiences within contemporary frameworks of risk perception, the role of randomness, and the search for meaning in the face of uncertainty. The phenomenology of near-misses is explored, highlighting their disproportionate psychological impact, as well as their empirical significance in urban planning and other domains (Ibrahim et al., 2021). Furthermore, the paper investigates how these near-misses are interpreted through religious frameworks, where they are often seen as signs of divine providence (Broadrick et al., 2022). In contrast, statistical and algorithmic approaches, such as risk-limiting audits and explainable AI, treat near-misses as stochastic events that signal vulnerabilities within systems (Kaufman & Levy, 2024). The integration of these interdisciplinary insights leads to a nuanced understanding of how near-misses, whether personal or systemic, are sites of meaning-making, resilience, and growth. Ultimately, this paper demonstrates that near-misses, through various interpretative lenses, offer profound opportunities for reflection, action, and the cultivation of resilience in a world marked by uncertainty.Theoretical concepts including near-misses, providence, risk perception, resilience, explainable AI, religious interpretation, stochastic events, and randomness serve as the foundation for this scholarly discussion.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.Podcast 243The Conversation Unforeseen Encounters in Life In the Providential Hand of God copyright 2025 "ISBN 978-976-97788-6-3, filmed by Dr. William Anderson Gittens,D.D. of Devgro Media Arts Services®2015Bridgetown Barbadosto the Creator for guiding mI wish to express gratitude e and my late parents, Charles and Ira Gittens, for their guidance and creative expression.  Thanks to those who assisted me along this journey namely my Beloved wife Magnola Gittens, my Brothers Shurland, Charles, Ricardo, Arnott, Stephen, Sisters Emerald, Marcella, Cheryl, Cousins Joy Mayers, Kevin anSupport the showCultural Factors Influence Academic Achievements© 2024 ISBN978-976-97385-7-7 A_MEMOIR_OF_Dr_William_Anderson_Gittens_D_D_2024_ISBNISBN978_976_97385_0_8 Academic.edu.

Une Femme Wines didn't scale the way most wine brands do — and that's exactly why its story matters.What began as the house wine at Jen Pelka's two Champagne bars — The Riddler in San Francisco and New York — has scaled into a national brand selling more than 300,000 cases annually, with wines poured everywhere from Delta Airlines to Marriott, Kimpton, stadiums, cruise lines, and even space.In this episode, Jen breaks down how Une Femme unlocked scale by saying yes to the right opportunities — and then rebuilding the business to support them.The turning point came when a chance meeting led to a Delta Airlines trial that required Une Femme to ramp from 1,500 cases over two years to 6,000 cases in three months, a feat that seemed impossible at the time. But they persevered and that single partnership didn't just change volume — it reshaped the company's format strategy, pushing the brand into cans for sustainability, operational efficiency, and national reach.From there, Une Femme scaled differently than most wine brands: Prioritizing national accounts and high-velocity venues over slow regional rollouts, and focusing relentlessly on freshness, tight SKUs, and operational reliability.

A Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach became the site of one of the deadliest antisemitic attacks in the diaspora in decades.

Harmony Dibongue-Levy, artiste complète : Chanteuse, danseuse, comédienne.Elle a grandi dans la musique, découvert la danse par hasard à 6 ans, et a très vite enchaîné les expériences professionnelles. Dès 8 ans, elle tourne dans des séries et téléfilms, puis rejoint Le Roi Lion à 17 ans comme chanteuse et danseuse. Depuis, elle a travaillé sur Flashdance, Dirty Dancing, collaboré avec Soprano, M. Pokora, Wynn Holmes, ou encore Adidas et Reebok.Et pourtant, malgré ce parcours assez impressionnant, Harmony connaît aussi la frustration d'une carrière qui avance mais pas toujours comme elle l'espère : la pression des réseaux, la comparaison, et toutes les questions que se posent les artistes d'aujourd'hui.Dans cet épisode on va parler de tout ça : de son parcours, de ses doutes, de ses forces, et de ce qu'elle rêve encore d'accomplir.

In this episode, I sit down once again with renowned physician and researcher Dr. Thomas Levy to discuss his provocative new book, The Only Cause of Disease. Dr. Levy is known for his extraordinary ability to “strip disease down to its root molecular cause… and build a clear, science-based path to true healing.”Our conversation explores the central ideas behind his latest work, including how he believes a single underlying mechanism can drive many chronic illnesses, what this means for prevention and treatment, and how emerging research shapes his perspective. Dr. Levy brings decades of clinical experience and scientific analysis to the table, offering insights that challenge conventional thinking while encouraging listeners to evaluate the evidence for themselves.Whether you're a healthcare professional, a wellness enthusiast, or simply curious about new ways of understanding disease, this episode provides a thought-provoking look into Dr. Levy's framework—and the potential it holds for rethinking health from the ground up.https://www.tomlevymd.com/www.georgebatista.com*This content is for informational and educational purposes only.

What if every hard-earned lesson in your business came with a simple mandate: how dare you do nothing with what's been given to you? In this episode, Bill Sherman talks with serial entrepreneur and systems strategist Apple Levy, author of "The Apple Effect". Apple has spent decades in construction, manufacturing, home flipping, and retail. She combines operational grit with financial discipline to help entrepreneurs stop firefighting and start scaling with intention. Her core belief is simple and provocative: if you know something that works, you have a duty to share it. Apple walks through how she turned years of wins and failures into a repeatable framework for growth. She explains why she began capturing notes, call recordings, and data from every client, and how that archive became The Apple Effect—a practical playbook for owners running businesses from $1M to $40M in revenue. The book distills what actually moves margin, cash flow, and culture, and she uses it as the backbone for her firm, Obsidian Thorne, when helping companies scale. You'll hear the real problems that keep owners up at night. Not just cash flow and margin, but rework that kills profit, weak follow-up on sales, and the emotional landmine of hiring family you can't hold accountable. Apple shows how to move from "leading by personality" to "leading by systems," so the process becomes the bad cop—not you. That shift frees leaders to exit someday, build a legacy, or simply step out of daily chaos. Apple and Bill also explore the mindset required to grow. Apple challenges entrepreneurs to ask, "How badly do I want this?" and to accept that scaling may mean dismantling what no longer serves the business—including long-standing people, habits, and assumptions. She shares how she applies her own advice inside Obsidian Thorne, using automation, hiring a business development lead early, and treating every pain point in her firm as data she can use to better serve clients. Finally, Apple looks ahead. She talks about taking her message to bigger stages—through construction trade shows like Build Expo, her growing calendar of workshops, and future events she plans to host herself. She's already filling the next scratch pad with insights for future books and building a team of people who share her attitude: hungry, accountable, and obsessed with helping entrepreneurs go from $1M to $10M and beyond. If you're an owner who's tired of firefighting, wrestling with family in the business, or worried about what you're leaving to the next generation, this conversation—and The Apple Effect—offers both a wake-up call and a roadmap. Three Key Takeaways: • Systemize your expertise. Turning real-world lessons into a documented framework is the foundation for scaling any business. • Measure what matters. KPIs and process discipline reduce rework, protect margin, and move the company out of constant firefighting. • Use your book as a strategic tool. A well-structured book can double as a thought leadership platform and an operating guide for clients and teams. If this episode has you thinking about systems, scale, and getting out of firefighting, the next step is to focus on your leaders. Pair this conversation with the episode "Scaling Leadership: Making Coaching Accessible at Every Level" with Kristin Lytle and you'll see the other side of the equation: how to build repeatable, scalable ways to grow people, not just processes. Both episodes explore how to move from one-off heroics to structured, repeatable solutions—whether that's tightening operations and KPIs, or creating blended coaching and learning programs that reach leaders at every level. Listen to them together and you'll walk away with a more complete roadmap: how to systemize the business and build a culture of high integrity, accountability, and leadership growth across the organization.

The daily practice of "Repeating the Sounding Joy" offers us a different path at the crossroads of control and trust, training our hearts for resilience instead of despair. We explore how Mary's defiant Magnificat—a song rehearsed over a lifetime—kickstarts an "upward spiral" of hope that disrupts the "downward spiral" of fear that threatened Joseph.

In this episode of the Velo Podcast, host Mike Levy sits down with tech editors Alvin Holbrook and Josh Ross to tackle one of cycling's hottest debates: how do we make professional racing safer? Jim Cotton brought up the valuable question of whether or not skills tests and rider airbags – two suggested solutions to make pro cycling safer – would actually make cycling safer for folks. Bib shorts equipped with automatically inflating airbags are proven in MotoGP to protect riders during high-speed crashes, but are they practical for the pro peloton? What about a licensing system, one that CPA president Adam Hansen has hinted at in the past? The team discusses weight penalties, comfort concerns over long stages, and whether clothing sponsors would embrace the technology. Further, they debate whether proficiency tests make sense for athletes who live on their bikes, what such courses should teach, and whether the bureaucratic hurdles are worth the potential safety gains. Finally, the crew discusses their predictions for new gravel bikes that will be predicted in 2026, as well as what gravel bike trends Alvin hopes fall by the wayside in the new year. Is there a new Specialized Crux coming, and if so, how different will it be in the future? There are nine in total, and we talk about the biggest and best of them all.

Send us a textIn this solo episode, Kara explores the fascinating research behind how daily reading may support a longer, healthier life. She breaks down the landmark Yale study showing that people who read books for just 30 minutes a day lived an average of 23 months longer than non-readers, examines why book-length reading provides unique cognitive benefits, and discusses what current science says about print books versus audiobooks.Listeners will walk away with a deeper understanding of how reading strengthens the brain, builds cognitive reserve, and may contribute to healthy aging - plus practical ideas for fitting more reading into everyday life.Episode Highlights:• Reading books for just 30 minutes a day was linked to 23 extra months of life, on average.• Frequent reading is associated with reduced cognitive decline across multiple long-term studies.• Print or visual reading tends to support stronger comprehension and memory - key components of brain reserve.• Audiobooks activate many of the same language and emotional brain networks, though the depth of processing may differ.• Regardless of format, regular engagement with stories supports cognitive health.Resources Mentioned:Episode 116: Do Audiobooks Count as Reading?Bavishi, Slade & Levy (2016).

DateNovember 30, 2025SynopsisIn this sermon, we kick off our Advent series, Repeat the Sounding Joy: Practicing an Honest Advent, by reclaiming joy as a defiant and contagious act of resistance. Joy is not a denial of despair, but an empowering force that opens our lips and loosens our tongues to sing of a future that refuses to be limited by current reality. We explore how Elizabeth's loud blessing and Zechariah's prophetic song disrupt the silence of Empire, giving us the courage to bless what God is doing and declare the breaking dawn now.ReferencesScripture: Luke 1:39–45; Luke 1:67–80About The Local ChurchFor more information about The Local Church, visit our website.

Welcome to episode 307 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. In this episode, Ken welcomes Ed Levy, creator of I Love My PI Lawyer—a curated client-gifting and referral system for personal injury firms. After two decades in promotional marketing for brands like Porsche, Gallo Wines, and major agencies, Ed spotted a gap: PI firms were under-leveraging their happiest audience. His program turns thoughtful, high-perceived-value gifts into stronger relationships, better reviews, and consistent referrals, without looking like advertising. What you'll learn about in this episode: 1. Client Gifting That Actually Moves the Needle - Why gifts must feel personal (not promo) to change client attitudes - How "high perceived value" (typically $25–$35+) beats swag every time 2. Timing & Touchpoints Across the Case - Best moments to gift: onboarding, mid-case, and 30–60 days post-settlement - How mid-case gifting calms nerves and post-settlement gifting says "not forgotten" 3. Design, Messaging & Differentiation - Crafting firm-specific designs and note cards that tell why this gift was chosen - Removing calls-to-action so the gift strengthens trust (not sells) 4. Execution Without the Headaches - Creative, production, warehousing, and weekly fulfillment handled for you - Practical ranges with glassware, blankets, tech, and more 5. ROI, Referrals & Ethics Nuance - How a 1–3% referral lift can pay for the entire program - Ideas for past-client/referrer tiers—plus watching state-bar rules on gifts   Resources:  Website: edventurepromotions.com/ilovemypilawyer LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/edlevy Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ilovemypilawyer/  Additional Resources:    https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind AI for PI Expo:   www.pilmma.org/ai-for-pi-expo

In this episode of the Ancient Health Podcast, Dr. Thomas Levy breaks down for us how oxidative stress—driven by toxins, infections, and nutrient deficiencies—is the real driver of aging and disease. Liposomal vitamin C and glutathione can provide rapid relief, support autoimmune conditions, and restore cellular function by replenishing electrons the body loses to toxins. Dr. Levy also highlights how dental infections, especially root canals, can trigger inflammation throughout the body, making oral health essential for anyone dealing with chronic illness. The conversation covers everything from the role of B vitamins and niacin in energy and mental health to methylene blue, nutrient loss from processed foods, and his “Super 8” supplement protocol designed to fight oxidative stress. Dr. Levy discusses how:  Toxins are the root of oxidation All disease patterns are caused by oxidation Root canals and disease are linked  Liposomal's advantage over other nutrient delivery forms Dr. Levy's super 8 supplements for fighting aging and disease:  Vitamin C — central antioxidant, reduces oxidative stress Magnesium — helps lower intracellular calcium (which otherwise increases oxidative stress) Vitamin D — part of his calcium-modulation groupVitamin K — works with D and magnesium to normalize calcium inside cellsNiacin / Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) — fuels the electron transport chain by boosting NAD, supporting ATP productionRiboflavin (Vitamin B2) — supports the ETC (flavin coenzymes)Coenzyme Q10 — critical electron carrier in mitochondrial energy productionMethylene Blue — can bypass parts of the electron transport chain to generate ATP efficiently Get 10% off LivOn Labs entire store of liposomal supplements with code MOTLEY at https://www.livonlabs.com/ Want more of the Ancient Health Podcast?

SCTV's Dave Thomas talks about making bold life choices, growing up in Canada, Shakespeare saving his ass, choosing between big money success as an ad man or being a broke improviser at Second City, becoming head writer on SCTV, Martin Short, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, John Candy, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, Joe Flaherty, Andrea Martin, Grace Under Fire, running an animation studio, turning to dramas like Bones and The Black List, going to Ukraine, Thailand, Mad Magazine, The McKenzie Brothers, Chester Hope, and how, to make it in Hollywood, you need at least two of these three things, Talent, Drive, & Luck. Bio: David William Thomas was born May 20, 1949, in St. Catharines, Ontario. He is the eldest son of British parents, Moreen Duff Muir (May 4, 1928 – May 18, 2022), a church organist for thirty years originally from Glasgow, Scotland and composer of church music, and John E. Thomas (1926–1996), a medical ethicist from Merthyr Tydfil, Wales who was head of the Philosophy Department at McMaster University, and the author of several books. Dave's younger brother, Ian Thomas, is a Canadian singer-songwriter. The family moved temporarily to Durham, North Carolina, where his father attended Duke University and earned a PhD in philosophy. The family moved back to Dundas, Ontario, in 1961, where Dave attended Dundas District high school, and later graduated with an honours Bachelor of Arts degree in English literature from McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario.[1]  Starting his career as a copywriter at ad agency McCann Erickson in 1974, Thomas became the head writer of the Coca-Cola account in Canada within a year. After watching a Second City stage show in Toronto, and while suffering from self-described "boredom" in his advertising work, he auditioned for the Second City troupe and was chosen as a performer.[2] He was a cast member of the Toronto production of Godspell, along with Victor Garber, Martin Short, Eugene Levy, Gilda Radner, and Andrea Martin.[3] Paul Shaffer was the musical director.[3 He first achieved fame as a cast member of the Canadian TV comedy series SCTV, joining Godspell castmates Levy, Martin and later Short, plus Rick Moranis, John Candy, Harold Ramis, Catherine O'Hara and others. Notable characters on the show include Doug McKenzie of beer-swilling brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie, editorialist Bill Needle, Scottish scone-chef/bluesman Angus Crock, motor-mouthed TV ad announcer Harvey K-Tel, Lowery organist/curio pitchman Tex Boil and the "Cruising Gourmet". Thomas's first film role was in Home to Stay, directed by Delbert Mann, in which Thomas played in a scene with Hollywood legend Henry Fonda. He then wrote, co-directed, and starred in the Bob & Doug McKenzie feature film Strange Brew. Soon after, he wrote for and acted in The New Show, produced by Lorne Michaels during his hiatus from Saturday Night Live. Short-lived, this show featured a powerhouse writing staff including Thomas along with Buck Henry, George Meyer, Jack Handey, Al Franken, Tom Davis, Valri Bromfield and Steve Martin. Thomas tried his hand at network television hour-long shows in 1986 when he wrote and co-executive produced Steel Collar Man for CBS. The pilot was produced but did not go to series. He co-wrote Spies Like Us (1985) with Dan Aykroyd.  In 1988, Thomas wrote another hour long show for CBS, B Men, which was back ordered, but Thomas took a directing job at Paramount, which caused the network to drop the series. He reportedly introduced John Travolta and Kelly Preston while directing them in the Paramount film The Experts.  He wrote for, produced, and starred in The Dave Thomas Comedy Show (1990). In 1991, he starred in the Showtime comedy, Public Enemy #2. In 1992, he tried his hand at reality TV and co-executive produced ABC's America's Funniest People with Vin Di Bona, but left after thirteen weeks to appear in the film Coneheads.  In 1993, he co-starred in ABC's Grace Under Fire with Brett Butler and Tom Poston and continued with the show for 5 seasons. In 1995 Thomas starred in the ABC television film Picture Perfect with Mary Page Keller and Richard Karn. In 1995 Thomas produced a pilot of a game show called Family Challenge for ABC. When ABC did not pick up the series, Thomas sold Family Challenge to the Family Channel, where he produced 144 episodes of the show spread over 2 seasons. In 1996, Thomas played the title role in the Fox television film Mr. Foster's Field Trip aka Kidz in the Wood with Julia Duffy. In 1996, he wrote the book SCTV: Behind the Scenes (McClelland & Stewart, publishers). From 1999–2002, he voiced various roles on the animated series Mission Hill. Thomas co-starred in the Paramount feature Rat Race. As of 2001, Thomas has been the Executive Creative Director of Animax Entertainment, an animation studio based officially in Culver City, California. In 2001–2002 Thomas appeared with Eugene Levy and Martin Short on Short's show Primetime Glick as Bob Hope (an impression he had first developed for SCTV with great success). In 2002, he co-starred with Jason Priestley, Dave Foley, and Ewen Bremner in Fancy Dancing. The next year he played a lead role in Beethoven's 5th. In 2003, he directed a hospital comedy feature film entitled Whitecoats, which he also wrote. As of 2004, Thomas was on the official Advisory Committee for the Comedy program at Humber College, the only such diploma program in the world. In 2004, he and Moranis again worked together voicing Rutt and Tuke, two moose based on the McKenzie Brothers, in Disney's animated feature Brother Bear.[4]  Thomas has had a long career doing voices for animation including Animaniacs, Duckman, CatDog, The Adventures of Tarzan, Justice League and multiple roles on The Simpsons, King of the Hill and Family Guy. In 2005, he had a guest stint as Charlize Theron's "Uncle Trevor" on Fox's Arrested Development. In 2006, he reprised his voice role in Brother Bear 2 and appeared as himself in the feature film The Aristocrats. He began production on ArnoldSpeaks.com, a video blog, as the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger; Animax Entertainment won an Emmy for a broadband animated series produced for ESPN, Off Mikes.  In 2007, Thomas and Rick Moranis reprised their roles as Bob and Doug McKenzie in a one-hour special, Bob & Doug McKenzie's Two-Four Anniversary, for CBC Television. The show featured cameos from McKenzie celeb fans like Ben Stiller, Dave Foley, Tom Green, Paul Shaffer, Andy Dick, Matt Groening, Barry Pepper, Martin Short, and Geddy Lee. Former Prime Minister of Canada Paul Martin was the host. In 2008, Thomas revived Bob and Doug McKenzie in a new animated series, Bob & Doug. While Thomas reprises the character of Doug in the new series, Moranis chose not to voice the character of Bob, which instead is voiced by Dave Coulier. Moranis is, however, involved in the series as an executive producer.[5]  In November 2009, Thomas received an Honorary Doctor of Letters from his alma mater McMaster University and gave the fall convocation speech. In 2010 Animax continued to produce branded entertainment, advertising and digital shorts for corporations like Disney, Warner Brothers, NBC Universal, and Kodak. In 2011, Thomas's company Animax produced another animated show for MTV entitled Big Box along with numerous Internet shorts such as Life With Dad.[6][7]  In 2012 and 2013 Thomas guest starred in the dramatic shows Perception and Bones as well as comedy shows Comedy Bang! Bang! and How I Met Your Mother. In addition in 2013 Thomas voiced the recurring role of Jeff Foxworthy's father Jesco in the CMT show Bounty Hunters.  Thomas joined the writing staff of the Fox crime drama television series Bones beginning in 2013. Thomas worked for two seasons on Bones, writing several episodes and working on staff as consulting producer for two seasons.[8]  In 2015 Thomas joined the writing staff of NBC's The Blacklist as a consulting producer. In 2020 life-sized statues of Thomas and Rick Moranis as their characters Bob and Doug McKenzie were put in place at the ICE District Sports Arena in Edmonton, Alberta.[9] Also in 2020, the Governor-General of Canada announced that Thomas was being appointed to the Order of Canada,[10] Canada's highest civilian award. In 2021, Thomas and Max Allan Collins teamed to write a sci-fi mystery novel, The Many Lives of Jimmy Leighton.
