In this episode, Rosie Moss sits down with Clare McCue, who faced one of the most difficult journeys imaginable: walking with her husband Mattie through ALS, and ultimately supporting his decision to die with dignity through Canada's medical assistance in dying (MAiD) law.Clare shares candidly what it meant to prepare her young son Hudson for his father's death — not by hiding it, but by weaving him into every stage of the process. From navigating a chaotic healthcare system during lockdown, to explaining assisted dying with honesty and compassion, Clare opens a window onto the realities few families ever speak of.The conversation explores:The emotional, legal and practical steps of pursuing assisted death in Canada.How Clare and Mattie made space for dignity and agency, even in decline.The raw reality of telling a child that his father had chosen the time and place of his death.How organ donation added a powerful sense of legacy to Mattie's final act.The ways Clare turned grief into action through community fundraising and everyday rituals with Hudson.As Clare says, “Hope wasn't that everything would be okay, but that there would be meaning in how it worked out.”This is an extraordinary story of love, courage, and the controversial but profoundly human choice of assisted death.

Text us and we will consider it :)That iconic blue bottle of Dawn dish soap has found its way from kitchen sinks to professional cleaning caddies, but is it really the miracle cleaner some make it out to be? We tackle this surprisingly controversial topic that's been dividing cleaning business owners.Dawn's 50-year history includes becoming famous for wildlife rescue during oil spills, thanks to its special dirt-attracting solvent that revolutionized dishwashing in the 1970s. But professional cleaners need to understand both the power and limitations of this popular product. While affordable and accessible, Dawn isn't pH neutral and can potentially damage certain surfaces when used improperly or leave those dreaded "tiger stripes" if not rinsed properly.We explore where Dawn truly shines - cutting through kitchen grease, pre-treating laundry stains, and exterior window cleaning - while being honest about where it falls short compared to professional-grade, surface-specific products. You'll hear real experiences from cleaning business owners who've incorporated Dawn into their toolkit alongside specialized products like Sal Suds and Longs Donzo degreaser.Whether you're a solo cleaner looking to economize or a business owner training staff on proper chemical usage, this episode provides practical guidance on when to reach for Dawn and when to leave it on the shelf. Remember our golden rule: always test products in your own home before using them in client spaces. The right tools used properly will keep your clients happy and protect your business reputation.Have you found Dawn to be a helpful addition to your cleaning arsenal or do you avoid it?

Content warning: (Please do take care while listening as this episode discusses themes around suicidal ideation and death. If you are in distress currently, across Canada you can call or text 9-8-8 toll free from anywhere around the country. *** We've known of this returning guest for years and first had her on with us back in 2021 - during Covid when she made podcasts from inside her closet, like many others did, while we were all recording from home. She joins us on the show to talk about one of the most contentious topics of our times in the country and especially for the disability community. We've wanted to discuss the situation with medical assistance in dying (MAID) on Outlook for a long time, but waited until a journalist could walk us through it, someone with both a professional and lived experience point-of-view. Meagan Gillmore grew up in London, the city where we broadcast Outlook from, but now she lives in Ottawa, Canada's capital city and reports for New online independent news publication Canadian Affairs which first launched back in 2023. What exactly is MAID and how does it, in any way, differ from physician assisted suicide, euthanasia or any of the other terms you may have heard mentioned in the news? We learn more about the history of medical assistance in dying so from the historical to the political, Meagan walks us through things like eligibility criteria and the two separate MAID tracks, along with changes in the criminal code, private members bills and legislative changes and other political elements, on lawsuits and the courts, and shares how most journalistic outlets do not cover medical assistance in dying with any sort of sustained coverage. We get an idea why journalists with lived experience of disability (either physical or mental) are well suited to keeping the media aware, along with the rest of us who often find MAID made more complicated by the sensitivity of the issue and society's cultural fear of discussing anything remotely related to death and dying. Gillmore shares with us a mixture of researched and reported details on the path MAID has been on in Canadian society along with her own personal up close experience with considering applying for it herself at one time. Plus we the hosts also share why this subject is so personal to us as Canadians living with disability and chronic illness during these capitalist times where barriers still exist with finding and maintaining steady employment and other factors toward fitting in in one's community. Common ongoing themes discussed on this show about struggling with independence and dependence (not feeling like a burden when it comes to feeling like we must not burden society) vs interdependence and the grey areas of life and being part of our communities while finding purpose and balance in all areas of life are covered between the three of us. Why would someone ever consider this rout for themselves or are there pressures put on those who have done it or are contemplating it? ? Why are people with disabilities feeling all this most intensely, has this gotten out of hand in Canada in particular, and what do disability organisations and groups think about all of it? How are physicians and other medical professionals feeling and viewing all this? From the legal system to advocating for human rights, all these things and more on this important episode. *** Read recent articles written by Gillmore for Canadian Affairs: https://www.canadianaffairs.news/author/meagan_gillmore/ Find an article on MAID by Gillmore from The Walrus in 2023: https://thewalrus.ca/assisted-dying/ And to learn more about Meagan, check out her prior Outlook appearance: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/outlook-2021-02-08-interview-with-journalist-meagan/id1527876739?i=1000508230958

Want to hear about a specific topic on the show? Text us and we will consider it :)Ever wonder why some people seem to effortlessly attract success while others struggle despite their best efforts? The answer lies in understanding the powerful relationship between your energetic vibration and your ability to manifest your desires.In this transformative episode, we dive deep into the consciousness scale - a fascinating framework that maps human emotional states from shame (20) to enlightenment (1000). Discover why most people operate below the crucial 200 mark and how this energetic ceiling limits their manifestation potential. We reveal why the 500 mark - the vibration of love - creates such a profound shift, dissolving all negativity and accelerating success. This explains that common phenomenon where newly-in-love couples seem to attract prosperity and opportunities with surprising ease.The universe responds to your energetic signature, not your wishes or even your actions alone. "Your energy attracts what it matches" becomes our guiding principle as we explore practical techniques to elevate your vibration. Learn why feeling abundant before you have abundance is essential and how simple experiences like test-driving luxury cars or touring beautiful homes can program your subconscious for success. We revisit Jim Carrey's famous manifestation technique of writing himself a check for millions before his breakthrough - a powerful example of future-focused gratitude.Ready to raise your vibration and transform your manifestation power? Try our daily gratitude practice: acknowledge five things you're grateful for today, plus three future blessings you're grateful for "as if they've already happened." This combination of present appreciation and future projection creates the perfect energetic conditions for your desires to materialize.

Want to hear about a specific topic on the show? Text us and we will consider it :)Ready to transform your manifestation practice? Discover why the power of belief might be the missing piece in your personal growth journey. This powerful module dives deep into one of the most challenging yet rewarding aspects of manifestation—aligning your beliefs with your desires. While this concept might seem abstract at first, with practice, it becomes second nature. The key revelation? When your conscious desires clash with your subconscious beliefs about worthiness, you'll inevitably sabotage your own success.We explore a particularly common pattern among women entrepreneurs: the deep-seated feeling of unworthiness that derails manifestation efforts. No matter how clearly you visualize abundance, if you don't believe you deserve it, you'll find ways to push it away. The good news? These limiting beliefs aren't permanent. They're simply stories we tell ourselves that can be rewritten.Through practical exercises like identifying and transforming your three most restrictive limiting beliefs, you'll learn to replace thoughts like "I'll never be successful" with empowering alternatives such as "I'm building success every day." This isn't just positive thinking—it's rewiring your mental pathways to create alignment between what you want and what you believe is possible for you.Ready to stop self-sabotaging and start manifesting? Practice these belief-reframing techniques daily, start with small wins to build your manifestation muscles, and watch as your results accelerate with each success.

Want to hear about a specific topic on the show? Text us and we will consider it :)Ready to stop watching your million-dollar ideas become someone else's success story? Manifestation isn't just wishful thinking—it's a strategic process requiring decisive action.When you align your thoughts with your desires, the universe responds by creating synchronistic opportunities. You might suddenly land your biggest client ever or have a "chance" meeting with exactly the person you need. But here's the critical part most people miss: these open doors demand that you walk through them. Hesitate, and the universe will find someone else who's ready to act.This episode breaks down a practical system for capturing and implementing inspired ideas. Starting with the powerful practice of "brain dumps"—taking time in nature to write down all possibilities for your next 12-18 months—you'll learn how to filter for alignment with your passions. Then, transform these highlighted concepts into actionable plans through spreadsheet organization and calendar mapping. This visual roadmap becomes your manifestation blueprint, turning abstract ideas into concrete steps with specific timeframes.The guided exercise helps you identify three immediate actions aligned with your goals, prioritizing what feels most exciting. Whether you work step-by-step forward or backwards from your ultimate vision, the key is consistent, inspired action. Remember that time you had a brilliant idea that later appeared on an infomercial? Don't let that happen again. Your next breakthrough is waiting—but only if you're willing to act on it.

Want to hear about a specific topic on the show? Text us and we will consider it :)Breaking through resistance might be the most crucial skill for achieving your goals, and yet it's often the least discussed aspect of success. Have you ever wondered why you feel stuck despite knowing exactly what you need to do? This module dives deep into the invisible forces that keep us frozen in place when we should be moving forward.Resistance isn't just procrastination – it's a complex defense mechanism that manifests as fear, doubt, and self-sabotage. I share personal experiences with these challenges, including how I pushed through my own resistance to record this module despite having a visible injury. The most fascinating aspect is how resistance affects even highly successful people. Some consistently generate millions in revenue yet find themselves broke by year's end, trapped in unconscious self-sabotage cycles they can't seem to break.The root of resistance often lies in childhood programming and experiences that shape our adult responses to challenges. These patterns become so ingrained that we mistake them for truth rather than recognizing them as outdated protective mechanisms. Through practical exercises like the resistance worksheet, you'll learn to identify what resistance feels like in your body, uncover the specific fears driving your hesitation, and craft more empowering beliefs to replace limiting thoughts. This isn't about forcing yourself forward through sheer willpower – it's about understanding and transforming your relationship with fear itself.Ready to break free from the patterns holding you back? This module provides both the understanding and practical tools you need to recognize resistance when it appears and respond with powerful new perspectives that align with your goals. Remember, the universe responds to action – even small steps forward can create the momentum needed to manifest what you truly want.

There's a critical piece of the manifestation puzzle that many overlook, and it might be the very reason your desires haven't materialized yet.While positive thinking and visualization are powerful starting points, manifestation requires inspired action. Throughout this episode, I reveal why the universe creates opportunities through synchronicity, but these doors of possibility remain closed until you actively walk through them. I share personal stories of missed opportunities—including a potential million-dollar prize that slipped through my fingers—all because I failed to act when the universe presented the perfect alignment.You'll discover my practical system for capturing and implementing inspired ideas through "brain dumps" and strategic planning. Learn how to recognize divine nudges, organize your inspirations into actionable steps, and create visual roadmaps that transform abstract goals into concrete achievements. Whether you prefer working forward from where you stand or backward from your desired outcome, this episode equips you with the tools to become a powerful co-creator with the universe.The most frustrating experience isn't failing to manifest—it's watching someone else bring your brilliant idea to life because they took action while you hesitated. Don't let another opportunity pass you by. By the end of this episode, you'll have a clear framework for taking three inspired actions this week that align perfectly with your deepest desires.

Want to hear about a specific topic on the show? Text us and we will consider it :)The seemingly simple act of making a birthday wish holds the key to manifestation success—if only we approached our deepest desires with the same focused intention. Shannon Miller reveals why most people struggle with manifestation: they haven't made clear decisions about what they truly want."Vague wishes bring vague results," Miller explains, challenging listeners to move beyond general desires like "more money" to specific, measurable goals. Whether you're aiming for $5,000 monthly in your cleaning business or an ambitious $83,000 weekly income, the specificity creates a tangible target for your subconscious mind. This clarity becomes the foundation for effective manifestation work.The heart of successful manifestation lies in three powerful questions: What do you want? Why do you want it? How will you know when you have it? That final question unlocks the energetic component of manifestation—connecting with the feeling of already having achieved your desire. Miller touches on how people in love naturally attract prosperity because they operate at higher vibrational frequencies, demonstrating how our emotional states influence our manifestation abilities. By learning to cultivate specific intentions paired with aligned emotional energy, you create the perfect conditions for your desires to materialize.Ready to transform your manifestation practice?

2002's Maid in Manhattan. Pack your bags and grab your room key, because we're revisiting Maid in Manhattan, the rom-com that tried to convince us a senator could fall for J.Lo just by seeing her in the wrong outfit. But does this Cinderella-in-a-hotel story still sparkle, or will we call housekeeping to clean up the mess? Either way, Ralph Fiennes definitely owes us an explanation. Hosted on Acast.

Spoilers Warning! If you haven't finished reading the 900 pages of The Hallmarked Man and don't want to hear details from the novel, you will not enjoy this conversation about Strike8.John read the latest Strike-Ellacott novel by Thursday morning using the pre-publication head start, the Robert Glenister audiobook dropped early Tuesday morning, a bootleg epub version on his wife's iPad, and the codex hardcover that arrived at 5:00 on the day of release. Nick didn't finish until early Saturday but was already half-way through his second reading via audiobook by Sunday night.John didn't especially enjoy reading the book as fast as he did; Nick was frustrated that he could not read it faster than he did. Both were delighted by Rowling's work and are looking forward to the coming weeks of re-reading and ‘Tools, Springs, and Threads' analysis of its artistry and meaning.In this week's conversation, they touch on fandom disappointment with the new book before discussing how three predictions they'd made about Hallmarked Man played out, the three Real World targets of Rowling's wrath in her current work, John's preliminary work on the novel's epigraphs (and the Aurora Leigh-esque forgotten tome of epic poetry that may be Strike8's Rosmersholm or Faerie Queene), and what's next in their reading of Cormoran Strike.As is their wont, Nick and John refer to ideas and to people that Serious Readers will want to check up on or learn more about. Here are a selection of links to many of these subjects with their apology for those they've missed and their invitation to share counter-sources or requests for other links.They thank everyone who listens to these Lake and Shed conversations, those who join in the discussions in the comment thread below (how was your first reading of Hallmarked Man?), and especially for our paid subscribers who were polled for their questions and concerns last week for our consideration before we put our notes together.Hogwarts Professor is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Anteros-Eros Distinction in Cormoran StrikeCormoran & Robin and Odysseus & Penelope (Joanne Gray, 2019)I found out that this is actually the statue of Anteros—not Eros as it is popularly called. Anteros is the subject of the Shaftesbury Memorial in Piccadilly Circus, London, where he symbolizes the selfless philanthropic love of the Earl of Shaftesbury for the poor. The memorial is sometimes given the name The Angel of Christian Charity and is popularly mistaken for Eros, cf., Lloyd & Mitchinson (2006) The Book of General Ignorance “Because of the bow and the nudity… everybody assumed it was Eros, the Greek god of love.”https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anteroshttps://www.theoi.com/Ouranios/ErosAnteros.htmlEros is the brother of Anteros and also pretty much the opposite of Eros.Reading Rowling at Four Levels (John Granger, 2021)Robin and Cormoran, even if you want to include Sam Barclay, are not a soul exteriorization akin to Harry, Hermione, and Ron. The psychomachia of the Strike novels is built on the Shakespearean soul-Spirit romantic model rather than the Platonic-Patristic body-mind-spirit soul triptych of ancient, Medieval, and contemporary film and written fiction. In this model, the man and woman lede players take the part of soul and spirit, Coomaraswamy's duo sunt in homine human and divine aspects, either as fixed roles as in Othello and The Tempest or in relation to the other, each being soul and embracing the other as supra-natural as in Romeo and Juliet and Antony and Cleopatra (see Lings and Pogson for that). Rowling's embedded models for this exteriorized drama of human sanctification are the myths of ‘Leda and the Swan‘ and ‘Psyche and Cupid‘ and the psychomachia spiritual allegories of Eros and Anteros, true and false Cupid, within Spenser's Faerie Queen, the Redcrosse Knight and Una as well as Britomart and Artegell.On Valentine Longcaster as the Erotic Cupid (Strike being the Anterotic Cupid)Valentine Longcaster is a hilarious cryptonym for Cupid, for whom Valentine is a second name (see the post on Valentine's Day in the Psyche and Eros post) and ‘Longcaster' is a reference to his weapon of choice, the bow and arrow of the god of love.

Curiously, with much of the attention devoted to “Asians” (predominantly Pakistani gangs), it is notable that Blacks are similarly overrepresented, with our weighted rate providing limited evidence of even greater over-representation than Asians.Please note, however —For the CEOP study that ISPR use, footnote 1 shows the selection criteria, excluding all abuse initiated in a familial or fraternal (house based) relationship:"Where “localised-grooming” is defined as: “a form of sexual exploitation – previously referred to as ‘on street grooming' in the media - where children have been groomed and sexually exploited by an offender, having initially met in a location outside their home. this location is usually in public, such as a park, cinema, on the street or at a friend's house. Offenders often act together, establishing a relationship with a child or children before sexually exploiting them. some victims of ‘street grooming' may believe that the offender is in fact an older ‘boyfriend'; these victims introduce their peers to the offender group who might then go on to be sexually exploited as well. abuse may occur at a number of locations within a region and on several occasions. ‘Localised grooming' was the term used by CEOP in the intelligence requests issued to police forces and other service agencies in order to define the data we wished to receive.” (footnote 1, p. 7)"They also exclude the 39% of cases where race was not included in the data. It would be sensible to assume that ethnicity was not recorded when the ethnicity of both perpetrators and the victim were the UK default.Removing the selection criteria shows that people of Asian ethnicity are under-represented in child sex abuse cases compared to White British: https://www.csacentre.org.uk/app/uploads/2024/02/Trends-in-Offical-Data-2022-23-FINAL.pdfJulie Blindel pushes back on the ‘Grooming Gang as Muslim problem' narrative:To say that the only reason the police were complacent when it came to the grooming gangs of Rochdale, Rotherham, Telford, and elsewhere was because (some of) these men were Pakistani Muslim, is madness. The ethnicity and religion of these men is relevant, but not in the way the racists would have us believe. It is relevant because it was seen as a phenomena perpetrated because of ethnicity as opposed to male violence towards females.

Alexandria Reed's transformation from struggling single mom to successful entrepreneur with Pure Elegance Cleaning Company reveals exactly that.Alexandria takes us through her remarkable journey, from the early days of "Alexandria's Cleaning Company" to her strategic rebrand. She candidly shares how she initially charged just $160 for an entire move-out cleaning job—a price that makes her laugh now. The turning point came when Alexandria decided to position her business as a luxury service rather than just another cleaning option. Using AI to generate her new company name, she created a brand that resonates with clients who view professional cleaning as both essential and indulgent.What truly sets Alexandria's story apart is her embrace of digital transformation. She's implemented clever solutions like embedding JotForm on her website for streamlined quotes and using Google Forms for job applications to filter out less serious candidates. By leveraging Jobber's built-in features, she's eliminated the need for separate document signing services, saving both time and money. These practical innovations have allowed her business to operate more efficiently while presenting a more professional image to clients.Perhaps the most powerful takeaway from Alexandria's experience is the importance of boundaries.

In recent years, several U.S. states and a number of countries have legalized Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID), also known as physician-assisted suicide or physician-assisted death. While definitions vary, the practice generally allows people facing imminent death from a terminal illness to end their lives by administering drugs with support and supervision from a doctor (or team of doctors). In some countries, people with certain chronic illnesses and disabilities are also eligible for MAID. As more states considerlegalizing the practice, proponents and opponents have raised ethical concerns about how MAID is regulated — and whether it should be legal at all.

One in 20 deaths in Canada are the result of Medical Assistance in Dying, the country's legalized euthanasia. Elaina Plott Calabro, staff writer at The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss why the MAID law has made medically assisted death more common than Alzheimer's and diabetes deaths combined, why that's taken advocates by surprise, and why patients say they prefer to die in this manner.

What can Canada's death laws teach us about policy limits? Sarah and Beth examine Canada's medical assistance in dying (MAID) program, where assisted deaths now account for 1 in 20 deaths nationwide - more than Alzheimer's and diabetes combined. They trace how policies that began with terminally ill patients have expanded to include those with treatable conditions and mental health issues alone. When does personal autonomy go too far? Sarah and Beth explore the moral injury experienced by healthcare workers, question whether doctors should make ethical decisions, and examine what happens when individual autonomy becomes society's dominant value. How do you deepen friendships by sharing life stories? In Outside of Politics, Sarah describes a weekend exercise where friends told their complete life stories from birth to present, plus creative alternatives like wedding album tours and conversation games like Hygge.

In this episode, Kelsi Sheren hosts Tammy Porisky, a former registered nurse, and Alex Schadenberg to discuss the troubling changes in the healthcare system, particularly regarding palliative care and the MAID (Medical Assistance in Dying) legislation. Tammy shares her experiences in nursing, the shift in the definition of palliative care, and the ethical dilemmas faced by healthcare professionals. The conversation highlights the lack of safeguards for nurses and patients, the misapplication of the term 'palliative,' and the broader implications of a healthcare system that seems to prioritize death over life. The episode serves as a call to action for listeners to be aware of these issues and advocate for better care and support for patients.Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisheren - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -RHO Nutrition - Code: KELSI20 -  https://rhonutrition.com/KELSIKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Text us and we will consider it :)What does it take to transform a 75-year-old family cleaning manufacturing & supply company into a nationwide sensation? Ryan Long of Long's Products joins us to share the remarkable journey that began with his grandfather-in-law selling Fuller Brushes door-to-door after World War II.Ryan reveals how he married into the business and found his passion in the cleaning industry, eventually purchasing the company with his wife from her parents in 2015. The story unfolds with charming details about the founder making hand soap in repurposed Coca-Cola bottles with his chemistry teacher, establishing the foundations of a business that would evolve into a comprehensive janitorial supply company with their own proprietary chemical formulations.The conversation takes us through the company's explosive growth through TikTok, transforming from shipping around 300 packages annually to approximately 25,000 in just one year. Ryan shares his grassroots marketing approach, sending samples to content creators until their products—particularly the Donzo Degreaser and Digest Plus enzyme cleaner—began speaking for themselves. What makes this growth story unique is how Long's Products maintains their personal touch, with Ryan still working the front counter, knowing customers by name, and often helping mix chemicals and fulfill orders himself.We explore the delicate balance between tradition and innovation as Ryan describes maintaining old-school customer connections while embracing online ord Up your cleaning game, join over 6000 Cleaning Business Owners most of whom are located here in the United States.

What does it take to rise from cleaning studios to shaping some of the most iconic records of our time? Trina Shoemaker's story is not just about breaking into the music industry—it's about breaking through it. As the first woman to win a Grammy for Best Engineered Album, Trina paved the way for a generation of female producers and engineers, and she brings her powerful voice and razor-sharp insight to this inspiring and unfiltered conversation. In this episode, Trina shares how she went from mopping floors at Capitol Records to earning Grammy wins for her work with artists like Sheryl Crow and Emmylou Harris. She tells the behind-the-scenes stories of working on Wrecking Ball and how that album helped define the sound of Americana. We explore her years in London learning the art of engineering, her move to New Orleans to join the legendary Kingsway Studio, and the deep musical and personal lessons she learned along the way. Trina also pulls back the curtain on the realities of being a woman in a male-dominated field—how she navigated the industry, demanded respect, and held true to her belief in capturing raw, honest performances. She discusses her approach to vocal production, why she avoids auto-tune, and how crafting backing vocals is one of her secret weapons. Beyond her life in the studio, Trina opens up about her love of writing and her dream of publishing a novel and having actor Will Patton narrate the audiobook. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or just starting out, this episode offers a powerful reminder: authenticity, persistence, and a deep respect for the artist's process will always rise above the noise. Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Trina Shoemaker, who was born in 1965 and raised in Joliet, IL, southwest of Chicago. Over the past three-and-a-half decades, she has produced, recorded and mixed hundreds of records. A four-time Grammy® Award winner and six-time nominee, she is the first woman to win the Grammy® for Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Her credits run the gamut from Queens Of The Stone Age, Rodney Crowell, Charley Crockett and Iggy Pop to Sheryl Crow, Brandi Carlile and Tanya Tucker. Although audio engineering is a passion, writing songs and playing musical instruments are not. Instead, while her ears are busy in the studio recording music, her imagination is busy creating characters, narratives, plotlines and dialogues as she travels through the hidden workings of songs. These stories have culminated in the creation of her debut novel, Bury Me Alive In Your Sugar. Trina lives on Mobile Bay in Fairhope, Alabama, with her husband, singer-songwriter Grayson Capps.

Canada is now the number one provider of medical assistance in dying in the world per capita. The latest stats, from 2023, show that MAID accounted for almost 5% of all deaths in Canada, or around 15,000 people in that year. And it's only been legal since 2016.MAID was introduced for patients who were experiencing intolerable suffering, irreversible decline and whose death was foreseeable. Within a few years it was expanded to cover people who are not close to death but who are living with chronic illness or disabilities and facing intolerable suffering.Canada's number one spot on the global stage and the expansion of MAID eligibility has attracted the attention of the United Nations. The UN Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities issued a report that raised questions about access to housing, social support, and healthcare, especially for people with disabilities. It noted that the suffering that qualified these people for the recent expansion to MAiD is suffering that might have been avoided if their needs were met by the Canadian government.Today we're going to meet four people, all with experience on the front lines of the debate, some of whom have been in the room witnessing firsthand death by MAID.Further Reading: Life After Film Katie Engelhart NY Times Article Kerry BowmanUnited Nations Report Credits:Host: Jesse BrownJulian Abraham (Reporter)Caleb Thompson (Post Production), Bruce Thorson (Senior Producer), max collins (Director of Audio), Jesse Brown (Editor and Publisher)Fact checking by Lucie LaumonierAdditional music by Audio NetworkSponsors: oxio: Head over to canadaland.oxio.ca and use code CANADALAND for your first month free!

Maid for Each Other by Lynn Painter https://www.amazon.com/Maid-Each-Other-Lynn-Painter/dp/0593638034 A millionaire and a house cleaner are a match maid in heaven in this sparkling new romantic comedy by Lynn Painter, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Happily Never After. As a professional cleaner, Abi Mariano never thought her apartment would have any sort of infestation, but because of a building-wide outbreak, she now needs somewhere to stay for a week. As a part-time student with two jobs, she doesn't have many options. Then the solution presents itself: the owner of the penthouse she cleans is out of town for the week. She normally wouldn't consider it, but he's literally never around (she hasn't even met him). It goes great…until one morning she finds two strangers in the kitchen. They're the parents of the penthouse owner and they seem to think they've heard all about Abi—not as their son's maid, but as his girlfriend. Declan Powell has always put his career first, working his way up to become an executive at his company, but he still has his sights set on the next level. When his parents mention that they met his girlfriend, “Abby,” he all but chokes on his escargot. As wonderful as it sounds that she was just darling, he doesn't actually have a girlfriend—he made her up to get everyone off his back. When Dex finds out who Abi really is, he makes her a proposition: pretend to date him, and he'll provide everything she needs during their little arrangement. What harm would it do? It's purely business, no pleasure…right?About the author Lynn Painter is the USA Today and New York Times Bestselling Author of BETTER THAN THE MOVIES. She writes romantic comedies for teens and adults, and when she isn't reading or writing, she can usually be found binge-watching rom-coms or shotgunning energy drinks.

Her ironborn make for their longships, but the woods and the dark confound them. The battle is brutal and protracted and Asha eventually succumbs to a Northern axe, but as he loses consciousness she hears trumpets and sees a fiery stag.Characters/Places/Names/Events:Asha Greyjoy - Princess of the Iron Islands.Qarl the Maid - Beardless lover of Asha.Tris Botley - Childhood sweetheart of Asha.Dagmar Cleftjaw - Ironborn Captain, currently holding Torren's Square.Ramsay Bolton - Self-styled Lord of Winterfell.Theon Greyjoy - Asha's brother, captive of Ramsay and now broken into a creature known as Reek.Deepwood Motte - Wooden castle in the northwest of the North.

Melvyn Bragg and guests explore dragons, literally and symbolically potent creatures that have appeared in many different guises in countries and cultures around the world. Sometimes compared to snakes, alligators, lions and even dinosaurs, dragons have appeared on clay tablets in ancient Mesopotamia, in the Chinese zodiac, in the guise of the devil in Christian religious texts and in the national symbolism of the countries of England and Wales. They are often portrayed as terrifying but sometimes appear as sacred and even benign creatures, and they continue to populate our cultural fantasies through blockbuster films, TV series and children's books.

During a tour of the former “convalescent wing,” he watched a transparent young maid appear, panic at an unseen fist pounding the door, pry open an impossibly small window…and fall.
