Why is Munro's voice suddenly so deep? Has Leo entered his rebel era? One thing's for sure: they're still the same hilarious little boys we've loved since day one… but they've grown up in ways that will surprise you! With Stacey away battling an unfortunate bout of bronchitis, we had to call the big dogs in — so the boys are stepping up for this chaotic family catch-up. They confess things to Kayla, attempt to beat her at trivia, and Leo says far too many things that absolutely mortify his mom. Classic Kayla + kids energy.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Learn more about Michael Wenderoth, Executive Coach: www.changwenderoth.comEver feel you are getting penalized at work – not getting promoted, not being listened to, not being seen as a leader – because of your accent? “Accent bias” is very real, says Peter Novak, but his prescriptions on how to overcome that bias – and elevate yourself – may surprise you. In this episode of 97% Effective, host Michael Wenderoth sits down with Peter Novak, PhD and founder of the Strictly Speaking Group. They discuss how we should think about accents – and the keys to succeeding in high stakes communications, particularly if you are a non-native English speaker. Peter challenges the usefulness of “accent reduction” training and the common advice to “not read from a script,” sharing research and cutting-edge strategies (including ones that involve AI) that have helped his clients become rising stars who embrace the power of their multilingual identities. You'll leave this episode with the hard truths on accents and amazingly practical tips that will immediately help you ascend.SHOW NOTES:Peter's interest in communication, accents and theater that drove his career and lifeInsights from Peter's two year project translating Shakespeare's 12th night into American Sign Language (ASL)Blunt question #1: Is “accent bias” real? Peter shares the research.What the heck does confidence in English sound like?The core of Peter's work: How do you speak in a way that meets the expectations of what native speakers are listening for?Blunt question #2: Should I get accent reduction training? Peter's surprising response.Brain science on what native English speakers are listening for: English as a “stress-timed language” where stressing certain words generates meaningBeyond your words and accent: understanding “prosody” or the musicality of a language to convey meaning, intention – and make your communication landPractical Tip: One of the best things you can do is to get a good microphone!“It's not an accent, it's an identity”The Canadian study that showed that language training that focused on “macro-linguistic factors” (variation, tone, pace) mattered more than training that focused on accentPractical Tip for fast speakers: Don't slow down – Instead pause within the sentence around “thought clusters”How to sound confident, curious, or spontaneous: When and how to use downward, upward and sustained intonation in your communication.How to read from a text – but still sound like you are speaking off the cuffPractical Tip: Practice your speech out loud – but record it with a voice to text app – and then ask AI to generate a voice print and recommendations.Practical Tip: Scoring and the “2 1/2 inch trick” when delivering a powerful speech through virtual meetings and online video communication.Repeating words, using sustained inflection – and not being confined by the text: Peter demonstrates how to sound spontaneous when reading from a scriptPractical tip, inspired by Ginger Rogers: How to send subtle reminders at work that you are powerful and do a lot of heavy lifting.Practical tip, inspired by Laura Huang: Turn a stereotypically perceived weakness into a strengthPractical tip: Use idioms from your native language (where Peter reveals his Argentinian-accented Spanish!)Understanding how people want their communications: Ask them, ask others, use new AI toolsPractical tip for non-native speakers: Provide sign posts and structure to ensure your message landsLightning round with Peter: Who has most shaped his thinking, How communication will evolve with AI BIO AND LINKS:Peter Novak is the founder of Strictly Speaking Group, where he has built his reputation as a globally recognized communications coach.

Dr. John Munro, senior pastor of Calvary Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, and host of The Verdict radio program, talks with Wayne Shepherd about his journey from law to ministry.   (click for more...)   Website:  www.calvarychurch.comThe Verdict Radio Program:  https://theverdict.orgOriginally from Scotland, Pastor Munro was raised in a Christian home and came to faith at age 12. After a successful career as a prosecutor and attorney, he felt a strong, Spirit-led call to leave law and study at Dallas Theological Seminary, leading him into pastoral ministry in North America. He and his wife, Gudny, from the Faroe Islands, have served faithfully for decades, focusing on preaching grace and shepherding people with compassion. Munro spoke candidly about losing his adopted son, Christopher, during the COVID pandemic—a tragedy that deepened his understanding of grief and dependence on God's sustaining grace. Through that experience, he learned the power of presence over words and gained renewed empathy for those who suffer. Now in later years, he continues to serve passionately, viewing ministry as a lifelong calling rather than a profession to retire from, grateful to be used by God wherever He leads.                                              NEXT WEEK:  Bob BakkeSend your support for FIRST PERSON to the Far East Broadcasting Company:FEBC National Processing Center Far East Broadcasting CompanyP.O.

In this episode of "The Cut", the conversation dives into how AI is being used inside law firms, what it's getting wrong, and the new rules emerging around its use in legal proceedings. Featuring "Jarrod Munro", Partner at "Cornwalls Lawyers", this discussion unpacks real examples—from court restrictions to hallucinated legal cases—to reveal the promise and peril of AI in professional industries. Jarrod explores how AI's efficiency can help lawyers and accountants focus on higher-value work while warning of the ethical, accuracy, and confidentiality pitfalls that still plague the technology. Listeners will walk away with a sharper understanding of how to integrate AI responsibly, spot its blind spots, and future-proof their professional practice. Key Points AI's speed doesn't mean accuracy—hallucinations and bias remain huge risks if you don't verify results. Confidentiality and compliance are still human responsibilities, even when AI handles the grunt work. The firms that learn how to train, audit, and ethically deploy AI will outpace those who ignore it.

In this episode, host Kevin Appleby welcomes back Hannah Munro, Managing Director of ITAS Solutions and host of the CFO 4.0 Podcast, to unpack the hype surrounding AI and offer clear, practical steps for finance leaders ready to take action. Hannah shares first-hand insights from her work helping finance teams implement technology-driven transformations, explaining why success depends less on the AI tools themselves and more on simplifying processes, standardizing data, and fostering cultural change. The conversation draws a clear distinction between technology implementation and true transformation—and why CFOs must master both to realise measurable ROI from new systems. As AI continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, Hannah and Kevin explore how finance leaders can stay agile, focus on data quality, and ensure their organizations are prepared for the next generation of AI-enabled finance. From managing expectations to defining tangible outcomes, this episode is an essential listen for CFOs looking to move beyond buzzwords and deliver meaningful digital transformation. Key topics covered: The difference between AI-enabled tools and building AI from scratch—and why most finance teams are already using AI without realising it. Why the biggest implementation risks aren't technical but cultural and process-related. How to distinguish transformation from implementation—and why most projects should involve both. The importance of defining measurable outcomes before investing in technology. Why simplification, standardisation, and clean data are the foundations for any successful AI adoption.

Start with a simple truth: progress belongs to the people who take the first step and ask better questions. That's the heartbeat of our chat with exercise physiologist Oscar Munro, whose journey runs from childhood sport and an early uni stumble to a thriving practice across NDIS, DVA, ageing strength, and elite rugby programs.We explore how the EP role sits between diagnosis and performance—where exercise is prescribed like medicine. Oscar breaks down the practical handover from physio to EP, why timing matters for post‑op and acute injuries, and how to “dose” strength and conditioning with sets, reps, tempo, and progression. You'll hear real stories that make it tangible, including a 92‑year‑old who cut sit‑to‑stand time from 24 to 15 seconds and ditched reliance on the chair, proof that targeted training and patient education beat guesswork every time.Beyond clinic walls, we dig into Fit Over Fifties classes, a data‑driven Army block that blends testing, reports and tailored programming, and the communication rules that speed results—like ditching headphones during coached sessions so feedback can actually land. Oscar also shares his own Hyrox prep and how he swapped junk volume for smarter intensity, showing how to stay strong, fit, and fresh inside a busy coaching schedule.If you want to understand the difference between physio and exercise physiology, how to build confidence after injury, or how to find your lane in a growing field, this conversation delivers clear, practical insight. Listen, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and if it helped, follow the show and leave a quick review so more people can find evidence‑based training that works.

Electric vans also surged nearly 96% year-over-year, positioning Mercedes for further EV momentum with new models coming next year.   Munro EV scales M‑Series production   Scottish automaker Munro EV is expanding its Glasgow plant with new funding to boost M‑Series all-terrain EV production and create up to 300 jobs. The investment supports plans to build up to 5,000 rugged electric vehicles annually and strengthen Scotland's return to vehicle manufacturing.   Tesla Model Y Standard trim for UK   Tesla's new Standard trim Model Y, recently launched in the US, could reach the UK by 2026 offering improved efficiency and a lower entry price. Starting near £44,000, the new version provides a smooth, efficient design update while keeping the range close to 365 miles WLTP.   Nissan e‑Power supply plans   Nissan plans to supply its Rogue-based hybrid using e‑Power technology to partners like Ford and Stellantis to expand electrified options. The move could boost production at its Tennessee plant and give other automakers an affordable route to add hybrid powertrains.   WeaveGrid and LG Ventures partnership   LG Ventures has invested in WeaveGrid to develop smarter, grid‑interactive EV charging solutions. The partnership combines LG's battery technology with WeaveGrid's AI software to optimize energy use and strengthen grid reliability as EV adoption grows.   Volvo Q3 EV share rises  Volvo's U.S. EV deliveries jumped 71% year-over-year in Q3 2025 even as total sales dipped 9%, driven by the EX30 and EX90 models. Electrified vehicles now make up a growing share of Volvo's lineup, underscoring its steady shift to full electrification.   EV demand remains solid post‑credit   A J.D. Power report finds U.S. EV interest holding steady even as federal tax credits phase out, suggesting stable long-term demand. Consumers increasingly cite improved choice, charging access and quality as the main reasons for considering electric vehicles.  Leapmotor B10 UK launch  Leapmotor debuts the B10 electric crossover in the UK from under £30,000, boosted by a manufacturer “Leap Grant.” With 270 miles of range, rapid 168 kW charging, and premium equipment, the B10 extends affordable EV options across 53 UK dealerships.   Greens criticise Merz EV stance   German Green leader Katharina Dröge criticised Chancellor Merz's call to abandon the EU's 2035 combustion engine ban, calling it damaging to industry progress. She urged stronger EV incentives, more charging infrastructure, and social leasing to keep Germany competitive in the global transition.   InstaVolt upgrading UK chargers   InstaVolt has begun nationwide upgrades replacing older 50 kW units with faster, more accessible 120 kW chargers. The new design shortens charge times and improves convenience, backed by renewable power and near‑perfect network reliability.   Cross‑pavement charging in Northern Ireland   Northern Ireland now allows residents without driveways to install cross‑pavement home charging channels for EVs. The scheme offers much cheaper charging than public points, helping hundreds of thousands access affordable home charging for the first time.   Ampere confirms 40% cost‑cut target   Renault's EV unit Ampere reaffirmed its goal to reduce EV costs by 40% by 2028 while reaching break-even in 2025. Success would strengthen Renault's competitiveness and make its next generation of electric models more affordable.   BMW electric paddle board  BMW and SipaBoards have launched an electric self‑inflating stand‑up paddle board featuring modular batteries and digital controls. Priced at €3,990, the innovative board combines quiet motorization, safety features, and app connectivity for water sports enthusiasts.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Guelph, Ontario author Karen Smythe about Karen's novel, A Town With No Noise (Palimpsest Press, 2025). Samara and J., a struggling young couple, are off to J.'s birthplace, Upton Bay, a small town turned upscale theatre and winery destination. Sam has been hired by an editor friend to write a promotional piece about the place while she and J. stay with his grandfather Otto, a prominent businessman in his day. But their visit does not go as planned. Sam's explorations of Upton's tourist attractions lead her to ugly truths behind the quaint little town's façade—discoveries that are counterpointed with vignettes of the town's wealthy, elderly ruling class, painting a different picture than the one Sam's friend expects her to provide. Tensions between Sam and J. worsen as J.'s true nature emerges and Sam begins to question both his values and his family's past—especially after Otto tells them stories about his time as a German soldier during WW2. Back in the city, Sam's opinions and judgments about what is right and wrong are tested when a shocking truth surfaces about her grandmother's flight from Norway after the war, profoundly changing Sam's understanding of who she is and who she wants to become. In A Town with No Noise, fact and fiction combine to ask difficult questions about the communities we build, questions that are as relevant today as ever: Who stays? Who is chased away? And who decides?

Hugh Munro of Ambition Que might be the oldest man in competition BBQ. But the 73-year-old former drag racer doesn't mind the title one bit - particularly after likely becoming the oldest KCBS Grand Champion at last weekend's Bud's, Brews & BBQ in Columbia, Missouri. On Episode 322 of the Tailgate Guys BBQ Podcast, we visit with Hugh about his late-start to competition BBQ and how it feeds his hunger to high-level competition after being involved in national-touring drag racing for many years. The Minnesota native now based in Springfield, Missouri, discusses how he got started in BBQ and said it's not about the money but rather the love of the sport that has him looking for his next big trophy.  An encore segment from earlier this year brings Steven Raichlen back to explore his latest book, Project Griddle. It's the latest in a long line of great cookbooks from the BBQ Hall of Famer, who's always a fountain of information about outdoor cooking. Charlie Wallace joins us from Grill Guys of Missouri to review the latest from the standout BBQ supply store in Republic.

'There is Cora!'Uncas ran towards the rocks above the cave.Cora had stopped in front of the cave.Magua took out his knife. He turned to Cora.'Woman!' he shouted 'Will you be the wife of Magua? Or will you die!''Kill me, Magua!' Cora said. 'I will not go with you!'Suddenly there was a cry.Uncas was standing on the rocks above them.Magua looked up.

'I am alone.''No,'said Hawk-eye. 'Uncas has gone. But you are not alone.'He put his hand on Chingachgook's hand.The tears of the two friends fell onto the grave of Uncas.In 1758, General Munro died. Alice married Duncan Heyward and they lived happily together.From that time, the Delawares told their children the story of the English woman and the young Mohican.And they told their children the words of Tamenund, the old chief 'The time of the right man has gone. We fought for our land. But now there are many white men - as many as the leaves on the trees. I have lived too long. I have seen the last of the Mohicans!'翻译第十二章:最后的莫希干人玛瓜和科拉走进了森林。他们朝休伦村走去。一个小时后,鹰眼、邓肯和马瓜跟着200名年轻的特拉华人一起去了。所有人都留在了特拉华的村庄。鹰眼对乌卡斯说。他说,“海沃德少校和我将找到钦加古和门罗将军。他们在森林里很安全。乌卡斯,带上特拉华人。跟着马瓜的足迹走。小心!森林里会有很多休伦人。我们在休伦村见。马瓜会带科拉去山上的山洞。我们会找到她的。我们会帮助她的。”“来吧,”邓肯说。鹰眼和邓肯很快找到了钦加古和门罗。他们很快把自己的经历告诉了门罗。这四个人就往休伦人的村子去了。他们向山上的山洞走去。突然,他们听到喊叫声和哭声。他们向下看了看村子,所有的特拉华人都在村里和休伦人战斗,然后马瓜和一些休伦人跑上了山。他们要去的山洞就在他们后面。鹰眼和他的朋友们与休伦人作战。战斗很激烈,但马瓜逃了出来。然后鹰眼、邓肯、门罗、莫希干人和他们的朋友们又见到了马瓜。他和另一个休伦人在一起。他们在山洞前面。两个印第安人拉着科拉。“科拉!”邓肯喊道。“科拉在那儿!”乌卡斯朝山洞上方的岩石跑去。科拉在山洞前停了下来。马瓜拿出了他的刀。他转向科拉。“女人!”他喊道,“你愿意做马瓜的妻子吗?不然你会死的!”“杀了我吧,马瓜!”科拉说。“我不跟你去!”突然传来一声喊叫。乌卡斯站在他们上方的岩石上。马瓜抬起头来。另一个休伦人转向科拉。他用刀捅了她,然后杀了她。马瓜生气地喊道。他举起刀,杀死了休伦人。然后,乌卡斯扑向了马瓜。他们战斗。但马瓜很快就转过身来。他捅了乌卡斯四刀。年轻的莫希干人站了一会儿。然后,他倒在马瓜的脚下,死了。鹰眼看到乌卡斯倒下了。侦察员向马瓜跑去。玛瓜沿着小路跑了起来。他的敌人在他下面。玛瓜爬上了岩石。然后他转过身往下看。鹰眼停止了奔跑。他举起长枪。马瓜跳向更高的岩石,鹰眼开火了。玛瓜的手指碰到了岩石。但是鹰眼枪里的子弹杀死了他。他的身体不停地倒在岩石上。一天后,门罗将军、邓肯和爱丽丝站在乌卡斯和科拉的墓前。他们悲伤而沉默。然后他们向鹰眼、钦加古和特拉华人告别。然后他们走进了森林。钦加古看着鹰眼。他说,“我们部落的人都走了。“我一个人。”“没有。”鹰眼说。“乌卡斯走了。但你并不孤单。”他把手放在钦加古的手上。两个朋友的眼泪落在乌卡斯的坟墓上。1758年,门罗将军去世。爱丽丝嫁给了邓肯·海沃德,他们幸福地生活在一起。从那时起,特拉华人就给孩子们讲那个英国女人和年轻的莫希干人的故事。他们把老首领塔米纳德的话告诉了他们的孩子:“正义的时代已经过去了。我们为我们的土地而战。但是现在有很多白人——和树上的叶子一样多。我活得太久了。我见到了最后一个莫希干人!”

Back in December 2024, I got an email from Tom Rademacher raving about an upcoming book from a teacher who is now a licensed counselor that read, “The thing that hooked me when I read it the first time was a whole part on teachers recognizing their own triggers to their anger and stress and learning to understand and adapt to them... but the whole thing is gorgeous.” The author was of course my guest today, Maria Munro-Schuster, and the book, which is now in print, is The Empathetic Classroom: How A Mental Health Mindset Supports Your Students – And You, which the HRP team was more than thrilled to contribute the forward:“The Empathetic Classroom provides therapeutic self-reflection activities and prompts for educators and colleagues, the psychological theories underpinning them, guidance for applying them with students, and scalable activities for classroom implementation. Maria Munro-Schuster's call to consider the mundane over measurement is essential in improving the current state of education. This proactive approach acknowledges that we are all learners and that all of humanity has something to gain from this mission. We can create school climates that are no longer so arid that a single spark or gust of wind sets everything ablaze. If we can do this we may find that the fires are more manageable and less frequent.”Order: The Empathetic Classroom (Teacher Created Materials)

This episode, we welcome to the podcast, James Machin, to talk about the new edition of The Stark Munro Letters (1895) he has edited for Edinburgh University Press. About James Machin James is a writer, researcher, and editor, whose recent books include the Edinburgh Edition of the Works of Arthur Conan Doyle's version of The Stark Munro Letters (2024) and The Strange Stories of John Buchan for British Library Publishing (2025). He edited Faunus, the journal of The Friends of Arthur Machen, for over ten years, and has taught at Birkbeck (University of London), the Royal College of Art, and the University of Bedfordshire. He has recently commenced work on the Edinburgh Edition of Round the Fire Stories. The Stark Munro Letters (Edinburgh University Press, 2025) The first new edition of The Stark Munro Letters since the early 1980s Contains detailed introduction and scholarly apparatus Extensive notes explore the historical and biographical references Appendixes that collect original transcriptions of previously inaccessible archival material Ideal for students and scholars interested in Arthur Conan Doyle, medical fiction, popular fiction, autobiographical fiction, and epistolary fiction This is the first scholarly edition of Arthur Conan Doyle's epistolary novel, originally serialised in the Idler, 1894–95, and long out of print. With its first-hand testimony of the life of a doctor at the outset of his career in the late nineteenth century, The Stark Munro Letters will appeal to anyone with an interest in medical history. It is based on his experiences during the eight years he spent as a General Practitioner, before becoming a professional author in 1890. By some way the most autobiographical of Conan Doyle's novels—written at the height of Holmes's popularity—it is also the most personal in terms of presenting his worldview during his formative years, including ruminations on moral philosophy, religion, science, and evolutionary theory. Moreover, it is entertaining and incredibly vivid—a contemporary critic described the mercurial Cullingworth as ‘one of the finest characters Dr. Doyle has yet drawn'.
