Show Notes In this week's Yugoslav History Interlude: the race for Trieste! Yugoslav and British Empire troops converge on the contested city from two directions, existing alliances give way to new contests, and international diplomacy gets uncomfortably close to a game of Finders Keepers / Losers Weepers. Show notes to come, thank you for your patience. Mobile Suit Breakdown is written, recorded, and produced within Lenapehoking, the ancestral and unceded homeland of the Lenape, or Delaware, people. Before European settlers forced them to move west, the Lenape lived in New York City, New Jersey, and portions of New York State, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and Connecticut. Lenapehoking is still the homeland of the Lenape diaspora, which includes communities living in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. You can learn more about Lenapehoking, the Lenape people, and ongoing efforts to honor the relationship between the land and indigenous peoples by visiting the websites of the Delaware Tribe and the Manhattan-based Lenape Center.

In 1988, someone found a striped mussel the size of a fingernail in Lake St. Clair. Within a few years, zebra mussels coated pipes, boats, and the bottom of the Great Lakes, and they became the poster child for "it's too late." Andrew closes Marine Pollution week with the pollutant that breaks every rule: a living one that reproduces instead of diluting. He follows two invaders. Zebra mussels rode in on ship ballast water, clogged power plant intakes, and stripped plankton from the base of the food web. Lionfish, likely released from home aquariums, spread from Florida across the Caribbean and cut the number of young native fish settling on reefs by about 79% in one experiment. Then comes the fight back. Ballast water rules tightened between 1993 and 2008, and new invasions in the Great Lakes fell 85%, to the lowest rate in two centuries. In the Bahamas, keeping lionfish low on small patches of reef let native fish rebound by 50 to 70%. Andrew wraps with the role every boater and paddler plays: clean, drain, and dry, every time. Takeaways: Invasive species are biological pollution, and they multiply over time. Zebra mussels arrived in ballast water and were found in Lake St. Clair in 1988. Densities at one Michigan power plant topped 700,000 mussels per square metre within a year. Lionfish likely reached the Atlantic through aquarium releases and now range from North Carolina to the Caribbean. Lionfish cut the number of young native fish settling on test reefs by about 79% in five weeks. Stricter ballast rules dropped new Great Lakes invasions from 26 to 4 per 13-year period. Keeping lionfish numbers low on targeted reefs let native prey fish rebound by 50 to 70%. Florida divers removed 31,773 lionfish in the 2024 Lionfish Challenge. Ontario has required boaters to drain water and remove plants and animals before moving a boat overland since 2022. Clean, drain, and dry every boat, canoe, kayak, or paddleboard between waterways.

We kick things off with news that Kitchen Nightmares is filming in Missouri, which has Rizz remembering the horrifying moment he realized he'd eaten at a restaurant featured on Gordon Ramsay's show. Then it's time for the Riz Quiz, where callers discover that common knowledge becomes significantly less common when there's a 45-second clock ticking. We get Paris panic, a dried plum becoming a raisin, Canada's capital becoming Ontario and, eventually, Lern estimating the Space Needle at an extremely reasonable 12,549 feet tall. Actual answer: 605 feet. She was only off by approximately an entire mountain.Meanwhile, a former police lieutenant is accused of clocking in and spending huge chunks of his shifts sitting in the station break room — including stretches of nine hours. Sure, there may have been crime elsewhere, but the crew points out one undeniable statistic: zero murders in that break room. We also rank some of rock's supposedly smelliest fan bases, with Phish, Grateful Dead and Insane Clown Posse fans leading a fragrant list that also drags Tool, Slipknot, Korn, Primus, Limp Bizkit and plenty more into the stink.Then Riz remembers what awaits him on Friday: the Glory Hole Challenge. No sight, no sound, just smell, taste and “face feel.” What could possibly go wrong?Rafe's birthday leftovers also continue when an Edible Arrangement turns dangerous and he accidentally bites into part of a candle because he was told everything was edible. From there, we tackle Halloween's annual neighborhood civil war: is it acceptable to take your kids trick-or-treating somewhere you don't live? The answer from the show is basically yes — especially if the rich neighborhood is hoarding the king-size Reese's behind the gates.Plus, coffee shop squatters, phone-free restaurants, TSA agents losing their chairs, an incredible eight-story fall survival story and enough completely unnecessary arguments to remind everyone why this show should never be trusted with serious decisions.Birthdays, break-room bandits, Glory Hole anxiety, Gordon Ramsay, smelly concert crowds and a 12,000-foot Space Needle — just another perfectly normal episode of The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Restaurants lock up customers' phones as devices become the 'new cigarettes'Rolling Stone releases top 50 bands with the smelliest fansFlorida judge rips into mom accused of leaving 4 children at home to go on 3-day cruiseSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the North American Waterfowler Podcast, Elliott sits down with Matt and Joe from the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary to explore the incredible life and legacy of Jack Miner. From his beginnings as a market hunter to establishing his waterfowl sanctuary in Kingsville, Ontario, Jack Miner's story became intertwined with the early history of waterfowl conservation and bird banding in North America. We hear the story of Katie, the black duck that helped launch Miner's banding efforts, how band recoveries provided information about waterfowl migration, the growth of the sanctuary, and how Jack Miner's work continues more than a century later. Matt and Joe also take us inside the Jack Miner Migratory Bird Sanctuary today, including its bird banding, habitat work, education programs, and new technology being used to track waterfowl migration.

The Big Five is the quintessential Montreal podcast, and the best way to get caught up on the top stories impacting the city. Every weekday, host Elias Makos and a roster of Montreal thought leaders debate and inform. On today's Big 5: Caroline Codsi, Founder & Chief Equity Officer at Women in Governance, and Jonathan Kalles, Senior Vice President at Vantage and former advisor to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Columnist Paul Journet warned that PQ Leader Paul St-Pierre Plamondon may weaponize future federal clashes, like the upcoming Bill 21 Supreme Court ruling, to manufacture the political crisis needed to boost stagnant sovereignty support. Independent Chambly candidate Caroline Boisvert sparked fierce campaign trail debate after distributing promotional flyers featuring herself topless. A constitutional challenge was officially filed against Montreal's newly passed bylaw that carries heavy fines for insulting police and city staff. An Ontario truck driver was sentenced to six years in prison for causing a deadly 2022 South Shore pileup while playing a game on his cellphone.

Don Waddell, President of Hockey Operations & GM of the Columbus Blue Jackets, joins Nick Alberga & Jay Rosehill for a behind-the-scenes look at how the Matthew Knies–Kirill Marchenko blockbuster came together. Waddell details when the Leafs first entered the equation, Columbus' read on Knies, what it's like being an NHL GM in 2026, and what it was like negotiating with John Chayka. Plus, Waddell reveals whether he's more of a caller or a texter — and explains why he can't stand the infamous

Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta recap Toronto's 2-1 win over the New York Islanders — win No. 1 of the Jim Hiller era. Anthony Stolarz was solid between the pipes with 26 saves, while Easton Cowan led the way offensively with a goal and an assist. Plus, Pagnotta dishes on what else the Leafs could be up to on the trade market — hint: they may be looking to add some help on defence. Meantime, Columbus Blue Jackets GM Don Waddell drops by to discuss the blockbuster Marchenko-Knies deal, and how it all came together. Also, ahead of Saturday night's Battle of Ontario opener, Ottawa Senators head coach Travis Green joins the show to tee up the big matchup, too.

Ottawa Senators head coach Travis Green joins Nick Alberga & David Pagnotta ahead of Saturday night's season opener against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Green discusses the excitement surrounding the start of the season, Ottawa's injury concerns, and naming Thomas Chabot captain.He also weighs in on Daniel Alfredsson facing the Senators for the first time since joining the Leafs' coaching staff, saying, “I want nothing but the best for him personally. I can't say that about the team he's coaching for.”Plus, Green reacts to the league-wide buzz surrounding the Kirill Marchenko trade and shares his keys to victory for Saturday night's Battle of Ontario.

In 2001, government scientists started adding a tiny amount of the synthetic estrogen found in birth control pills to a remote lake in northwestern Ontario, at levels already measured in city wastewater. Within seven weeks, male fish were making egg-yolk protein. After two summers, some had eggs growing in their testes, and the fathead minnow population collapsed to about 1% of normal. Andrew explains how the same chemistry leaves our bodies every day, passes through treatment plants built for sewage and bacteria, and flows into rivers, lakes, and the coast. Hormones are only part of it. In Sweden, researchers at Umeå University found that perch exposed to the anti-anxiety drug oxazepam, at levels matching wild fish, became bolder, fed faster, and drifted away from their schools, all behaviours that make a small fish easier to eat. Andrew then goes back to DDT, when bald eagles fell to 417 nesting pairs in the lower 48 states before the 1972 US ban let them climb past 71,000 breeding pairs. The recovery story continues at Lake 260. Once the hormone additions stopped, the minnows came back to pre-experiment levels within three years. Switzerland is now upgrading about 120 treatment plants with ozone or activated carbon to remove more than 80% of these micropollutants, paid for by a small annual fee per person. Andrew closes with the part you control today: take your leftover and expired medications back to a pharmacy. Takeaways: Your body doesn't use every bit of a pill, and what's left leaves in urine. Most treatment plants remove solids and bacteria, and many drug compounds pass straight through. At Lake 260, synthetic estrogen at about 5 to 6 nanograms per litre collapsed the fathead minnow population to about 1%. Lake trout that ate those minnows declined too. Oxazepam made perch bolder, faster feeders, and loners, raising their risk from predators. Bald eagles went from 417 nesting pairs in 1963 to more than 71,000 breeding pairs after DDT was banned. Lake 260's minnows recovered within three years once the hormone additions stopped. Switzerland is adding ozone and activated carbon treatment to about 120 plants to remove more than 80% of micropollutants. Ontario's free pharmacy return program collected more than 330,000 kg of medications in 2024. Keep taking what your doctor prescribes, and return the leftovers to a pharmacy instead of flushing or trashing them.

EMAIL: Barbara from Washington, D.C. With yesterday having been the Michaelmas, a question I have is why can Eastern Catholics venerate the other unnamed Archangels while Roman Catholics cannot?   EMAIL: Anonymous from New York What is the difference between sacramental wine and the wine you can buy at a liquor store?   EMAIL: Olivia from Ontario, Canada Last Sunday at Mass, I was sitting behind a disruptive boy in the pew in front of me. He wouldn't stop babbling and banging on the pew, and his mother just let him do it, even during the consecration. I get that we should have some patience when it comes to children in Mass, but it was to the point where I couldn't concentrate. What should we do in a situation like this?   @CrisisisComing ​​Serious question: What does the Church expect Catholics to do if a serious economic collapse appears likely? (Like the financiers pulling their money out of the country) Thinking of the Spanish crown in the old days   @Felix ​​What would bring the Orthodox and Catholic Church back together?   @Francis_tamu In terms of moral theology, why is alcohol permitted, but weed prohibited, when both cause intoxication? Many argue weed does not always remove the faculties of reason.

Yes, we're relationship and intimacy coaches. Yes, we just got married. And yes, we still fight.In Part 3 of our wedding series, we're taking you behind the beautiful ceremony and celebration to talk about the relationship we were actually celebrating that weekend.Because that relationship wasn't created on our wedding day. It was built through the beautiful moments and the messy ones. The triggers, misunderstandings, hurt feelings, uncomfortable conversations, repairs, and all the times we've chosen to find our way back to each other.The goal isn't to create a relationship where you never experience conflict.It's learning what to do when you do. In This Episode, We Explore:• Why do healthy couples still fight, and why isn't a conflict-free relationship necessarily the goal?• What happens when one partner needs space and the other needs connection during conflict?• How can you take space without turning silence, distance, or avoidance into another source of hurt?• Why does trying to determine who's right and who's wrong often prevent real relationship repair?• What does taking responsibility for your contribution to a fight actually look like?• How can understanding your triggers, nervous system, and conflict patterns create more emotional safety and intimacy?• Why can learning how to repair after a fight ultimately bring you closer and help you understand each other more deeply? The Relationship Behind the WeddingThe relationship we celebrated during our wedding wasn't built during the ceremony.It was built in the hard moments that came before it.In the times we got it wrong and came back.In learning to listen.In taking responsibility.In telling the truth about what we need.In choosing curiosity instead of immediately deciding the other person is wrong.A deeply connected relationship isn't one where you never get it wrong. It's about what you're willing to do next. Ready to Find Your Way Back to Each Other?This is a huge part of the work we do at Phoenix Rising Retreats.We help couples recognize the patterns that keep pulling them into the same cycles, communicate differently, ask for what they need and desire, repair what's been left unresolved, and create deeper emotional, physical, and intimate connection.Our final Group Couples Retreat of 2026 is November 5–9 at our private sanctuary surrounded by forest and lake in North Kawartha, Ontario.We also offer Private Couples Retreats and Virtual Couples Coaching for couples wanting more personalized or ongoing support.You don't have to wait until your relationship is falling apart to learn how to do this.Learning how to come back to each other may be one of the greatest gifts you give your relationship.

Statistics Canada numbers show the economy stalled in July. The trade war is hitting some harder than others, like the Stelco workers in Hamilton, Ontario who got news that part of their steel plant is closing indefinitely. We hear from Ron Wells, one of their union leaders, plus Deloitte Canada's Dawn Desjardins tells us why she sees the country's growth continuing to slow down.

As Prime Minister Mark Carney longs for a stronger Canada, his lust for fast-tracking projects signals a threat to meaningful conversation and consultation from Indigenous groups. Earlier this month at his Investment Summit in Toronto, hundreds of protestors across the country gathered in opposition to his pitch for a trillion dollars in exchange for what they feel like is their say in projects. Same goes for the Ontario government's plans for infrastructure surrounding the Ring of Fire, specifically Bill 5.Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Chadwick Cowie, political science professor at the University of Toronto to discuss the Carney government's relationship with First Nations, Inuit and Métis groups, and why pushing their voices to the fringes is more dangerous than not.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Su Chang, author of The Immortal Woman (House of Anansi, 2025). A sweeping generational story of heartbreak, resilience, and yearning, revealing an insider's view of the fractured lives of Chinese immigrants and those they leave behind. Lemei, once a student Red Guard leader in 1960s Shanghai and a journalist at a state newspaper, was involved in a brutal act of violence during the Tiananmen Square protests and lost all hope for her country. Her daughter, Lin, is a student at an American university on a mission to become a true Westerner. She tirelessly erases her birth identity, abandons her Chinese suitor, and pursues a white lover, all the while haunted by the scars of her upbringing. Following China's meteoric rise, Lemei is slowly dragged into a nationalistic perspective that stuns Lin. Their final confrontation results in tragic consequences, but ultimately, offers hope for a better future. By turns wry and lyrical, The Immortal Woman reminds us to hold tight to our humanity at any cost.SU CHANG is a Chinese Canadian writer. Born and raised in Shanghai, she is the daughter of a former (reluctant) Red Guard leader. Her fiction has been recognized in Prairie Fire's Short Fiction Contest, the Canadian Authors Association (Toronto) National Writing Contest, the ILS/Fence Fiction Contest, and the Masters Review's Novel Excerpt Contest, among others.Hollay Ghadery is an award-winning Iranian-Canadian multi-genre writer living in Ontario on Anishinaabe land.

It's realizing you can't hold on to every season forever. This goodbye is personal, bittersweet, and honest: a final reflection on what a fishing lodge on the French River in Ontario can create when you do it with your whole heart. We talk about the mantra that guided us through chaos and calm alike: they come as guests and they leave as family. That single idea shaped how we treated people, how we handled mistakes, and how we built trust with returning anglers and travellers. You'll hear a classic lodge story that captures it perfectly, when a checkout-day fishing run turns into a rescue mission, a dead engine, and one unforgettable soundtrack: Tina singing “Row, Row, Row Your Boat” in a Russian accent while Ross rows, furious, across open water. From there, we zoom out to the bigger truth behind lodge life and outdoor hospitality: the real legacy is relationships. We share gratitude for the guests who became lifelong friends, the staff who carried the place on their shoulders, and the mentors who quietly made a difference, including Angelo Viola and the people who helped bring the podcast to life through Outdoor Journal Radio and Fish'n Canada. If you care about the Canadian wilderness, fishing lodge culture, and the kind of storytelling that's built on real places and real people, this one will land. If these stories meant something to you, please subscribe, share the episode with a friend who loves the outdoors, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.

Join Rob McConnell as he welcomes Sandee Mac, longtime metaphysical researcher, dowser, lecturer and alternative-practices teacher for an exploration of one of the most controversial subjects in the paranormal world—alien contact, UFO encounters and alleged extraterrestrial abduction experiences. Sandee's appearance is documented in The 'X' Zone historical guest directory specifically under “Alien Contact.” FlipBuilderSandee has been researching and teaching metaphysical and alternative practices since the 1970s. Her background includes training or initiation in numerous disciplines, including dowsing, past-life regression, hypnosis, shamanism and Feng Shui. She also served as president of the American Society of Dowsers. Most relevant to this conversation, Sandee says she has worked for more than three decades with people who identify themselves as UFO abductees and extraterrestrial contactees. Sandee MacDuring her conversation with Rob McConnell, Sandee explores the experiences reported by people who believe they have encountered non-human intelligences. Such accounts can include unusual lights or craft, missing time, vivid memories, recurring dreams, unexplained sensations and perceived communication with extraterrestrial beings. Sandee approaches these experiences through her metaphysical framework and has worked with individuals who describe themselves as traumatized by alleged encounters. These interpretations remain controversial: extraordinary claims of extraterrestrial contact and abduction have not been scientifically established simply through personal testimony, hypnosis, dowsing or other metaphysical techniques.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all CANCOM/XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

SMART'S TINY #2 HAS SURPRISINGLY SERIOUS ENGINEERINGsmart's new sub-3-metre electric #2 uses rear-wheel drive, 50:50 weight distribution, five-link independent rear suspension and a compact 11-in-1 electric-drive unit to maximise cabin space and manoeuvrability. Its 35.8 kWh CATL battery targets about 300 km WLTP range and 10–80% charging in 20 minutes, while seven airbags and a body made from more than 78% high-strength steel underpin its safety pitch ahead of the 12 October Paris debut.RIVIAN GAINS WASHINGTON LICENCE FOR DIRECT SALESRivian has obtained a Washington motor vehicle dealer licence allowing it to sell directly through company-owned locations, although it has not said when in-state sales, test drives or deliveries will begin. It is also preparing a showroom and service centre with 13 service bays and 21 chargers for an expected early-spring 2027 opening, serving a state with almost 10,000 registered Rivians.USED-DIESEL VALUES FALL AS DIESEL COSTS AROUND 14% MOREUK diesel prices are around 14% higher than petrol, contributing to falling used-diesel values as motorists reconsider whether the fuel still makes economic sense. Higher fuel costs following geopolitical disruption and the arrival of cheaper EVs are accelerating diesel's decline, although Britain's 4.8 million diesel vans have had fewer alternatives until the recent arrival of longer-range electric vans.PG&E WILL PAY GM EV DRIVERS TO HELP TAKE PRESSURE OFF THE GRIDGM and PG&E are offering eligible Northern and Central California buyers of new Chevrolet, Cadillac and GMC EVs a free GM home charger, although customers must pay installation costs. Drivers using participating chargers and OnStar can receive a $15 monthly bill credit plus up to another $50 for allowing PG&E's Charge Manager software to shift charging towards periods of lower grid demand or cheaper electricity.HYUNDAI: “YOU MUST BE IN THE GAME” ON SOLID-STATE BATTERIESHyundai will continue developing solid-state batteries despite R&D chief Manfred Harrer saying he does not expect their raw-material costs to become suitable for mass-market vehicles within five years. Hyundai is working internally and with partners including Solid Power, with Harrer expecting small-volume halo vehicles using solid-state packs to reach the market within that period while broader adoption remains further away.HYUNDAI TESTS 200 KWH USED-BATTERY STORAGEHyundai Motor Group and LG Energy Solution are testing a 200 kWh stationary storage system using retired batteries from E-GMP vehicles at a fast-charging site in South Korea. The pilot will charge the batteries during off-peak periods and discharge during high demand, testing whether used EV packs can safely and economically reduce grid peaks and charging-station costs.POWERCO DELAYS $7-BILLION ST. THOMAS BATTERY FACTORY BY TWO YEARSVolkswagen's PowerCo has delayed the opening of its $7-billion St. Thomas battery factory in Ontario by two years, citing changing market demand, technological developments and Volkswagen Group strategy. Construction is continuing on the 16-million-square-foot plant, which has received commitments of $700 million from Canada's federal government and $500 million from Ontario.BOSCH WARNS COSTLY BATTERY REPAIRS COULD SHORTEN EV LIVESBosch warns that ageing EVs could be scrapped prematurely if owners cannot economically repair individual battery components once their original warranties expire. It argues that module-level repairs could keep otherwise usable cars on the road, avoiding situations where the cost of replacing an entire battery exceeds the vehicle's value.KIA PV5 CHASSIS UK CONVERSIONS DUE FOURTH QUARTER 2026Kia has introduced the PV5 Chassis, an E-GMP.S-based electric commercial-vehicle platform designed for specialist body conversions including UK tipper, dropside and Box/Luton versions from TGS Automotive Group. UK models will use the 71.2 kWh Long Range battery exclusively, while other European markets will also receive a 51.1 kWh Standard Range version.THREE-QUARTERS OF 20 LEADING UK PHEVS CANNOT USE RAPID CHARGERSChargeUK says three-quarters of the UK's 20 best-selling plug-in hybrid models cannot use rapid chargers, with only 26% of vehicles sold across those models capable of charging at 50 kW or more and none supporting 150 kW ultra-rapid charging. The charging-industry group argues that limited public charging capability encourages PHEV drivers to rely on petrol and warns the government against treating higher PHEV sales as equivalent to wider electrification.VERTICAL OPENS £1.5M VALO ASSEMBLY CENTREVertical Aerospace has opened a £1.5 million, 60,000-square-foot assembly centre at Cotswold Airport in Gloucestershire to build Valo electric aircraft for certification testing. Assembly of the first certification aircraft is expected in the fourth quarter of 2027, with commercial certification targeted for 2029 and around 1,500 pre-orders reported from customers including major airlines and aviation operators.

Scroll through social media these days, and you can easily get hit with a wave of overwhelming expectations around what you should be eating, how much you should be eating, how meals should be plated and styled perfectly for internet audiences, all while trying to make a living and stay afloat. But what happens if we pause from these narratives, and reframe our cooking experiences? Today's guest, Sonali Menezes, explores just that with me today. Sonali is an artist, zinester, and writer. She lives in Hamilton, Ontario with her husband, cat, and houseplants. She loves food, and eats it every day in celebration. Her first book, Depression Cooking: Feeding Yourself When It All Feels Too Hard, is out officially as of today through ECW Press.   In today's conversation, Sonali explores what it means to depression cook and how she structures her recipes to maintain accessibility for those navigating mental health, disabilities, and challenging phases of life, how messages around appetite and hunger in her younger years living in Scarborough and North York informed her anti-diet and approachable writing and recipe-crafting, how the art world she came up in understands eating (or not eating) and its relationship to her illustrations, and establishing gentler relationships with eating and cooking.     Resources: Instagram: @sonaleeeeeee Depression Cooking book

A calling she couldn't foresee. Toronto, 1914. Avery Conlon's world turns upside down in an instant. Overhearing a comment that casts doubt on her blood ties with the mother raising her, the despairing twelve-year-old runs away--but ends up falling through a river of ice. Dragged out and on the edge of death, she awakens with secret, heightened powers of perception... and a vision of a strange woman. Learning to navigate her new abilities to sense what others cannot, and dreaming repeatedly of a mysterious silvery boy, Avery vows to track down the truth of her past. As a young adult in the 1920s, she becomes a nurse at a hospital for the insane where her gift for healing leads to possible answers about her mother, Avery's second sight, and whether her uncertain future can include real love. Will Avery step into her greatest destiny? In this enthralling narrative of one woman's journey, author Robin Blackburn McBride explores the power of intuition and giving voice to the silenced. And as the character grows from a vulnerable young girl to a strong person seeking to take charge of her fate, readers will delight in this suspenseful tale of self-discovery and romance.

She landed in Grammy swag bags and airport shops, then walked away from her distributor after one surprise visit. Ginny Bailey of Friggin Lip Balm on stepping away for nearly a decade and coming back stronger.Ginny started Friggin Lip Balm out of her shop in Uxbridge, Ontario, where customers kept asking her to make a lip balm, the one product she was sure the world didn't need. A spot in the 2011 Grammy swag bags and a Toronto Star feature turned it into a local sensation, and a distribution deal put it in Vancouver and Toronto airports. Then a gut feeling sent her across the country to visit her distributor, and what she found ended the partnership on the spot.After stepping back to deal with major life events, Ginny relaunched from her new home in Sechelt on BC's Sunshine Coast. She tested the market again with just two flavours, turned seasonal limited runs into permanent SKUs, and doubled her sales through Shopify and local markets. Phil and Ginny get into how a Community Futures business program changed the way she saw her brand (hello, "frigging affirmations" on every cap) and her numbers, why she's confident enough to charge what a premium product is worth, and why she's staying firmly in her lane as a lip care expert.It's also a reminder to pay attention to the Canadian-owned brands still standing: Friggin is handmade and hand-labelled in BC, at least until the labelling machine finally arrives.Shop Friggin Lip Balm: http://frigginlipbalm.com/

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Henry Gould, founder of Daedal Systems, to explore his journey from a childhood fascination with physics to building the measurement infrastructure for the entire fusion energy industry. Henry shares his path from Queen's Engineering Physics to the plasma diagnostics team at General Fusion, where he worked on the PI3 project and saw a structural problem: every fusion company was building the same diagnostics in-house, underinvesting in them because they weren't core IP.They break down why fusion is fundamentally different from fission, the “triple product” that defines every reactor's performance, and the 2022 breakthrough at the National Ignition Facility that served as the industry's Wright Brothers moment. Henry explains why the biggest bottleneck to commercialization isn't the physics, but the lack of standardized, trusted measurement systems to validate milestones for investors. He opens up about the “apparent conflict of interest” of being paid by customers while serving as an industry validator, why tritium is worth $30,000 per gram, and why Ontario's CANDU reactors give Canada a strategic advantage in the global fusion race.Whether you're deep in the fusion space, investing in frontier tech, or just curious about the Holy Grail of energy, this conversation offers a rare look inside the supply chain that will make or break the fusion industry.The Holy Grail of Energy: Why Fusion Is So Hard (02:35)* Why fusion is called the Holy Grail: abundant fuel from seawater and lithium, no long-lived radioactive waste, dispatchable power* The challenge: overcoming electrostatic repulsion to fuse positively charged nuclei at 100 million degrees Celsius* The two main approaches: magnetic confinement and laser inertial fusion, and the 2022 scientific breakeven milestone* The caveat: scientific breakeven only measures energy out of the plasma, not the total energy input to power the lasersInside General Fusion: Plasma Diagnostics and the PI3 Project (04:52)* Joining General Fusion as an intern, then full-time on the plasma diagnostics team* The “first wall problem” and how General Fusion's liquid metal wall approach solves it* What PI3 (Plasma Injector 3) is and why it's essential to the reactor architecture* The challenge of measuring a superheated gas at 10 million degrees: you can't just stick a thermometer in* The triple product: density, temperature, and confinement time as the universal benchmark for fusion performanceWhy Now? The Forces Converging on Fusion (10:02)* AI power demand making abundant energy essential* Geopolitical risk and the push for sovereign energy infrastructure* 40% year-over-year growth in fusion investment and 10% growth in the number of companies* Why investors are waking up to both the science risk and the massive payoffsThe Founding of Daedal Systems: Standardizing the Missing Layer (13:00)* Seeing the structural problem: every fusion company needs the same diagnostics, but builds them in-house* Why diagnostics are underinvested relative to core IP* The vision: a platform of standardized diagnostic hardware and a generalized data analysis layer* Being architecture-agnostic: serving tokamaks, stellarators, mirror machines, and inertial approachesMeasurement as a Service: Validation, Trust, and the Investor Milestone Path (17:05)* The fourfold value proposition: higher quality measurements, faster, focused on core IP, and validation* The codified development path* Why peer-reviewed papers take 18 months, and arXiv posts lack validation* The “apparent conflict of interest” of being paid by customers while serving as an industry validator* Why trust is the entire business: “Any distrustful act is going to kill the company for the long term”Ontario's Strategic Advantage: Tritium, Talent, and the CANDU Legacy (20:28)* Why Henry moved back from Vancouver to build Daedal Systems in Toronto* The CANDU heavy water reactors and their byproduct: tritium, essential fuel for fusion* Tritium economics: $30,000 per gram, and 55 kilograms needed to start a reactor ($1.5–2 billion)* Canada's vast majority of the world's civilian tritium supply* The Center for Fusion Energy in Ontario and Daedal as the first private company on boardCompeting with Incumbents: Why Private Industry Needs Something Different (23:08)* General Atomics as the leader in plasma diagnostics for large public devices like ITER* Why private fusion companies need a measurement partner with a business model that works for them* The motivation for talent: working on infrastructure that benefits the entire industry, not just one deviceBeyond R&D: Adjacent Markets and the Long-Term Vision (26:38)* Starting with R&D-phase diagnostics for comprehensive understanding* Expanding to SMRs for neutron detection and other plasma industrial processes like semiconductors* The long-term vision: operating infrastructure for the fusion power industry* Why Daedal provides value today, not waiting for a mature fusion industrySMRs vs. Fusion: Clearing Up the Confusion (27:31)* SMRs as advanced nuclear fission: smaller, mass-manufacturable, competitive levelized cost of energy* Henry's hot take: “I'll wait to see what the energy price is”* The waste problem: long-lived radioactive waste vs. fusion's much shorter-lived byproducts* Why fusion isn't waste-free: tritium has a 12-year half-life, and neutron bombardment activates steel, but it's fundamentally different from fissionThe Road Ahead: Becoming the Standard for Every Fusion Device (29:38)* The plan: become the measurement system provider for every next fusion device built* Accelerating the build-test-learn loop and commercialization* Building in downtown Toronto, at the heart of Canada's nuclear ecosystemAbout Henry GouldHenry Gould is the founder of Daedal Systems, a company building the measurement infrastructure for the fusion energy industry. Previously, he worked at General Fusion on the plasma diagnostics team, serving as an engineer, physics lead, and technical project manager on the PI3 project.

There are eighty eight, and only forty nine of them are working days that can still change anything.That is not a scare tactic. Forty nine is a number you can plan around. A hundred is a number you can hide behind.In this episode Laura walks through the three numbers to pull before you plan another thing, and why the gap between what you have collected and what you thought you had collected is always bigger than expected. Then how to build a forecast honest enough to include the projects that will quietly slip into next year, because every miserable January begins in an October where somebody did not want to look.Then the practical part: the four decisions still inside your control before Christmas, each of which takes about an afternoon. Plus why a December discount does not cost you December, it costs you the following spring, and how to close a revenue gap on speed rather than on price.Your year is not decided in January. It is decided by what you price in October.The real day count, and why the fortnight from 14 December does not belong in itThree numbers to find before you make a single plan, and the strict rule for what counts as pipelineWhy anything not signed today is very unlikely to produce installation revenue this yearThe four decisions that still change 2026, in the order worth doing themHow the proposals you send in October quietly set your rate for next springWhy discounting in the fourth quarter is the most expensive move available to youClosing the gap on speed instead of price, with three specific ways to do itLAST CALL: Enrollment for The Profit Academy for Interior Designers closes September 30 at 11:59 PM EST.If you're ready to understand your numbers, price with confidence, protect your profit, and build a stronger, more sustainable design business, now is the time to join us.Learn more and choose your level at theprofitacademyforinteriordesigners.com before the doors close.Be sure to follow along on Instagram @thebusinessofbeautifulspaces + @thorntondesign to stay up to date on what we're talking about next week.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with Liz Johnston about her eagerly anticipated debut novel, The Fall-Down Effect (Book*hug, 2026). The Fall-Down Effect traces the diverging fates of siblings Sylvia, Fern, and River from their late-1980s childhood in a small British Columbia logging town, where their mother Lynn' s environmental activism sets them apart from the local community, to 2020, when a forest fire forces a fraught, baggage-filled family reunion.At nineteen, Fern commits her own radical act of protest, which authorities label ecoterrorism. As she goes underground, her parents and siblings-- responsible grad student Sylvia and budding artist River-- struggle to make sense of her actions while also trying to cover up her absence. Fern' s secret proves impossible to keep, and when she becomes a wanted woman, the rest of the family trades blame. Reverberations of Fern' s crime follow the siblings well into adulthood, and when Lynn takes shelter from a forest fire in the house she left so many years before, the family is forced to confront their regrets. Exploring protest, climate change, and fractured family relationships, The Fall-Down Effect asks what we really owe people in our lives when we are fighting for a greater cause.Liz Johnston grew up in Revelstoke, B.C., and now lives and writes in Toronto. Her essays and short stories have appeared in Poets & Writers, The Fiddlehead, The Humber Literary Review, Grain, The Antigonish Review, and The Cardiff Review.

Episode Notes In E440, Andrew sits down with PhD historian and author Dustin Galer to discuss his book, Blame, which details the tragic 2012 death of Guy Mitchell, a man with an intellectual disability found at the bottom of a cistern. Drawing on investigative reporting by Susan Claremont, the conversation exposes the deep-seated cultural ableism and systemic failures in Ontario's disability support network. Andrew shares his personal outrage as a care recipient, while Dustin unpacks how institutional neglect and the exclusion of disabled people from their own care decisions led to this tragedy.
