Milestone games and Old Boys Day. Melbourne's clash with Canberra had all the hallmarks for a memorable Storm performance and delivered in-kind. 70 former Storm players ascended on AAMI Park on the club's annual reunion weekend and they were honoured accordingly by the current custodians.

A roadmap for enhancing students' equitable access to biliteracy development Monolingual ideologies have driven US educational policy for centuries. Despite the benefits of multilingualism, policies have often prioritized English and reduced children's access to their home languages. The "Seal of Biliteracy" is a language education policy that recognizes students' proficiency in two languages as a mechanism for nurturing students' bilingualism and growing the United States' multilingual capacity. Since its inception, the Seal of Biliteracy has become a national program that has been extended into elementary and middle schools as pathway awards—benchmarks signaling that younger students are on the pathway to receiving the Seal of Biliteracy. Pathways to the Seal of Biliteracy provides foundational understandings, practical examples, and key levers necessary to help parents, educators, and policymakers understand and implement pathways to biliteracy in schools. In Pathways to the Seal of Biliteracy: Promoting Multilingualism in Elementary and Middle Schools (Georgetown UP, 2026), ituating the program within broader bilingual, heritage, and world language education systems, Amy J. Heineke and Kristin J. Davin explain the history of bilingualism and language policy in US education, and they outline an accessible and equitable approach to developing successful pathway programs. Pathways to the Seal of Biliteracy will be an invaluable tool for educators, stakeholders, and policymakers looking to nurture multilingualism, advance language programming, and help students achieve the Seal of Biliteracy.

In this episode of 50 Shades of Green Adam Lake and Katie Lanegran speak with Betsy Apple, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Global Climate Legal Defense (CliDef). Betsy — a longtime human-rights lawyer who has worked across Africa, Asia and beyond — explains why legal protection for climate defenders is now essential, how CliDef operates in difficult and dangerous environments, and what ordinary listeners can do to help.What we cover:Why climate defense is a human-rights issue: Betsy frames climate work as inseparable from human wellbeing — whether defenders are villagers, park rangers, journalists, teachers or scientists — and explains how opposing fossil fuel projects often puts people at risk.How CliDef works: A small, high-impact team partners with trusted local legal groups and private counsel across roughly 20 countries, funding local representation, supporting jailed or prosecuted activists, and bringing “affirmative” cases to challenge abusive laws and official misconduct.The global scale of repression: From apparently democratic countries (UK, France, Germany, the U.S.) to authoritarian states, Betsy highlights the alarming trend of closing civic space — criminal prosecutions, harsh sentences (even for organizing via Zoom), disappearances, and targeted legal harassment.Case studies and frontline struggles:UK prosecutions of protesters and extreme sentences for organizers.COP-related repression in Azerbaijan and Egypt, where local activists faced mass arrests and ongoing detention.Uganda's East Africa Crude Oil Pipeline (EACOP) protests: grassroots mobilisation that has delayed projects — and why “delay is victory.”DRC park rangers defending Rarunga National Park, facing armed threats, corporate capture of courts, and spurious criminal charges.SLAPPs and social-media repression: Strategic Litigation Against Public Participation (SLAPPs) are being used worldwide to intimidate and silence critics — including criminal defamation charges for posting videos or warnings online.Limits of tech and AI: Betsy reflects on AI's role in expanding access to legal help but cautions that technology can't replace human judgment, trust-building, contextual understanding, or the holistic support defenders often need.Pathways into climate legal work: Betsy offers realistic career reflections — the long arc of legal activism, the inequality of arms in legal systems, and why practical experience, patience and diverse skills matter more than a rushed route to law school.Why this mattersThis conversation pulls back the curtain on how powerful economic and state interests — often tied to fossil fuels — shape legal systems and civic freedoms. It also spotlights courageous people risking their lives to protect communities and ecosystems, and the vital role lawyers and civil-society partners play in keeping them safe.Resources & how to helpLearn more about CliDef and donate: climatelegaldefense.orgNeed help or want to refer a case?

Together, they discuss why belonging is more than a policy, training, or initiative, examining the difference between technical fixes and adaptive leadership, the challenges of treating belonging as someone else's responsibility, and the subtle ways organizations can unintentionally silence important voices. Through personal reflections, leadership lessons, and practical examples, the conversation offers thoughtful guidance for leaders seeking to create workplaces where people feel valued, heard, and empowered to thrive.

I want to alert you, so you don’t miss out on expert analysis and insider perspectives from my guests who provide tips that can help you uplift the community, improve your financial planning, motivation, or advice on how to be a successful entrepreneur. Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Sahra S. Halpern. Interview Purpose The purpose of this interview is to educate small business owners—especially entrepreneurs of color—about equitable access to capital, alternative lending pathways, and how to become “capital ready.” Sahra Halpern, President and CEO of the Business Consortium Fund (BCF), explains how mission‑driven lending fills the gap left by traditional banks and helps small businesses survive, grow, and ultimately graduate into mainstream financing. The conversation also aims to demystify lending, reduce fear around capital, and encourage entrepreneurs to build trusted financial relationships before entering moments of crisis. Core Themes Discussed 1. Why Small Businesses Are Turned Down by Banks Halpern explains that many small businesses are rejected by banks not because they lack potential, but because banks operate under strict underwriting and regulatory requirements. These systems often fail to account for resilience, experience, contracts, and future growth. BCF exists to serve as a bridge—supporting businesses where banks cannot and preparing them to eventually return as qualified borrowers. 2. Capital Curious vs. Capital Ready A key distinction introduced in the interview is the difference between businesses that are “capital curious” and those that are “capital ready.” Many entrepreneurs know they need funding but lack: Financial organization Clear projections Proper documentation A capital strategy BCF provides technical assistance to help businesses prepare for financing instead of setting them up to fail. 3. Mission‑Driven Lending and Community Impact Halpern frames lending as an ecosystem, not a transaction. When small businesses succeed: Business owners gain stability Employees gain jobs Communities grow stronger Large corporations benefit from more diverse and capable supply chains BCF focuses on long‑term economic impact, not short‑term profit. 4. CDFIs vs. SBA Loans The interview draws a clear distinction between Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFIs) like BCF and government entities such as the SBA. Key differences highlighted: SBA programs shift based on political administrations SBA underwriting has tightened in recent years CDFIs are nonprofit, mission‑aligned, and relationship‑driven CDFIs look at the whole entrepreneur, not just credit scores 5. The Danger of Merchant Cash Advance Loans Halpern strongly warns against Merchant Cash Advance (MCA) loans, which are often marketed as fast solutions but carry extremely high interest rates and long‑term consequences. She explains that: MCAs disqualify borrowers from future SBA refinancing They often trap business owners in cycles of expensive debt CDFIs like BCF can help refinance and escape these loans A real‑world case study (The Cut Buddy / Shark Tank entrepreneur) illustrates how BCF helped refinance over $1M in predatory debt and save a growing business. 6. Relationships Matter More Than Transactions Both Halpern and McDonald emphasize the importance of building lender relationships early, not only when cash flow is tight. BCF underwrites the entire business and the entrepreneur, rather than seizing control of a contract or revenue stream, as some factoring companies do. Power comes from having options—and informed decision‑making. Key Takeaways Banking rejection is not the end of the road Small businesses must prepare themselves to be capital ready CDFIs serve as critical bridges between entrepreneurs and traditional banks Fast money often leads to expensive, dangerous debt Merchant cash advances should be avoided whenever possible Mission‑driven lenders look at the whole entrepreneur, not just numbers Strong lender relationships protect businesses during uncertainty Capital should empower growth—not take control of your company Notable Quotes “Just because a bank says no doesn’t mean that’s the end of your road.” “We’re not just looking at your credit score—we’re looking at you as a whole entrepreneur.” “Capital readiness is not about desperation; it’s about preparation.” “If you’re sitting on a merchant cash advance loan right now, you are not stuck.” “Nothing makes me happier than seeing clients realize their dreams and grow into multimillion‑dollar businesses.” “You should talk to multiple lenders—but you should always understand the real cost of the money.” Conclusion Sahra Halpern’s interview serves as a practical roadmap and a cautionary lesson for small business owners navigating today’s uncertain economic landscape. It reinforces that access to capital is about strategy, education, and relationships, not just approval or rejection. The conversation encourages entrepreneurs to reclaim power, avoid predatory financing, and partner with institutions that are committed to their long‑term success and community impact. #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That path eventually led to the development of BrocElite, a stabilized sulforaphane supplement designed to support detoxification pathways, mitochondrial function, and overall cellular resilience.We discuss topics including sulforaphane, oxidative stress, detoxification and autophagy pathways, metabolic health and GLP-1 signaling, genetic variability such as MTHFR and COMT, and how modern environmental exposures like microplastics may be impacting overall health.This is a wide-ranging conversation aimed at helping make complex biology more understandable and grounded in real-life application.Key Topics Covered: Sulforaphane and cellular defense systems  Detoxification pathways and autophagy  Mitochondrial health and oxidative stress  Modern environmental exposures (including microplastics)  Metabolic health and GLP-1 signaling  Genetic variability (MTHFR / COMT) and sensitivity  Why some people feel more reactive in today's environment Sulforaphane and pet health BrocElite and Mara Labs story Connect with David:Mara Labs on InstagramExplore Mara LabsConnect with Vanessa and the podcast: IWP Website: Intentionally Well PodcastIWP Recommended ProductsPodcast on InstagramVanessa on InstagramPodcast on YouTubeVanessa on TikTokVanessa on XEmail: intentionallywellpodcast@gmail.comSupport the showThis episode is for informational purposes only.

They explain that this phase may include supporting detox pathways for “normal” toxins and heavy metals (e.g., daily bowel movements, B vitamins, methylation support, sauna or hot baths, lymphatic techniques, and using binders like charcoal or clay for inorganic toxins), addressing androgen/sex hormone imbalance linked to low MSH (including signs of low testosterone or estrogen dominance, supplementing DHEA), and correcting fluid/electrolyte balance via ADH regulation (symptoms like thirst, frequent urination, nocturia, and static shocks). They discuss electrolyte options, a DIY recipe, and provider-monitored desmopressin if needed, and note this phase can also involve investigating other lingering issues or co-infections before moving to phase five.

This week, our guest is the Honourable Brian Jean, Alberta's Minister of Energy and Minerals. The conversation was recorded at an ARC Financial event in Calgary on June 9. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has underscored the importance of energy security and supply diversity. This, along with more supportive federal policies, is raising expectations for growth in Alberta's oil and gas sector. On the podcast this week, Jackie asks Minister Jean about Alberta's opportunity to expand oil and gas production, including: Is the Strait of Hormuz closure and the Iran war reshaping how people view Canadian energy? What is Alberta's goal for oil production growth, and what changes, regulatory and otherwise, are supporting that goal? How does Alberta benefit from the build-out of LNG export capacity on the West Coast? The Canada–Alberta MOU outlines a plan to submit a 1 MMB/d oil pipeline to reach Asian markets to the Major Projects Office, with the aim of starting the regulatory review by early July. What is its status, and does the decision on the large oil sands CCS project affect the path forward? Are discussions underway with BC on the pipeline and with local communities, including Indigenous groups? And what are Alberta's opportunities in mineral production and, potentially, processing? Content referenced in this podcast: Canada Government, Overview of Canada's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy: AI for All (June 4, 2026) Global Energy Show (June 9 to 11, 2026) Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/Check us out on social media:X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research InstituteSubscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

If you've ever felt guilty for not posting enough, or wondered whether you're falling behind because you're not showing up consistently online — this episode is for you. We talk a lot on this show about the freedom that's possible when you step off the social media treadmill, but sometimes what we really need is to hear from someone who's actually done it and come out the other side with more clarity, more confidence, and more momentum than before.And our guest today is exactly that person — though she'll be the first to tell you she knows the pressure, the comparison, and the exhaustion of trying to keep up with a game that never quite felt like hers to play. Rather than push through, she paused, got honest about what wasn't working, and built a 90-day plan that finally gave her real momentum toward the women she's called to serve. Listen in as author, podcaster, and WOS The Course Alum Karla Monterrosa shares her story and the practical steps that brought her clarity and growth — without social media running the show.

Strider John Peterson, publisher of Psychedelic Pathways, reveals how responsible engagement with plant medicines, art, and storytelling can TRANSFORM CULTURE and consciousness—and why it's more vital than ever. This isn't just about psychedelics, it's about awakening a movement rooted in integrity, storytelling, and authentic human connection.Imagine a world where the stories of veterans, explorers, and underground voices don't just echo in secret but ripple out to reshape society. John shares firsthand his journey from ophthalmic science to spearheading a magazine that captures the true depth of the psychedelic renaissance—stories of trauma, hero's journeys, and sacred masculine evolution. You'll discover how responsible storytelling, grounded in intention, can challenge industry hype and steer this movement toward genuine personal and cultural awakening.We break down: the unseen power of visual storytelling, the role of responsible narratives in dismantling revolution-in-industry, and how psychedelics are just the beginning of a shift—an evolution in human awareness. John emphasizes the importance of honoring indigenous traditions, nurturing responsible use, and recognizing the power of community storytelling in a world eager for authentic change.The stakes? Without this responsible voice, the psychedelic movement risks commercialism, spiritual bypassing, and co-optation. But with it? Massive cultural shifts—building courage, purpose, and character in a fragmented world. This episode is perfect for anyone hungry for truth, real stories, or curious about how to guide a spiritual renaissance that amplifies our shared humanity.Geared toward seekers, activists, artists, and pioneers ready to challenge the status quo—this isn't just a podcast.

Pre-cancer and cancer can begin when stressed blood-forming stem cells lose their normal controls. Catriona Jamieson, M.D., Ph.D., UC San Diego, explains how inflammation-linked editing enzymes, repetitive elements in the genome, and stem cell stress shape the progression from myeloproliferative neoplasms to acute myeloid leukemia. Jamison examines how spaceflight accelerates stem cell aging, how some astronauts mobilize a resilient regenerative stem cell population, and how tumor organoids in space help reveal drug responses by activating the enzyme ADAR1. This work helps explain how cancer starts, why it can return, and how space-based research may speed the development of therapies that stop malignant stem cells before disease advances.

What does it mean to truly live well in an age of loneliness, distraction, and endless self-improvement advice? In this episode, Dru Johnson sits down with Alan Noble to discuss his new book on the seven Christian virtues and why recovering ancient wisdom may be the key to human flourishing today. Together they explore how virtues such as courage, temperance, prudence, justice, faith, hope, and love shape a life rooted in Christ rather than in modern self-help culture. The conversation examines the growing loneliness epidemic, the difference between "thin" online communities and meaningful relationships, and why many young adults struggle with agency, friendship, dating, and purpose. Noble argues that virtue is not a life hack or productivity technique but a lifelong process of spiritual formation empowered by the Holy Spirit and cultivated within Christian community. Dru and Alan also tackle the relationship between faith and works, discuss mentorship and the loss of intergenerational wisdom, and explore why courage may be one of the most important virtues for our cultural moment. From social media and smartphone habits to friendship and discipleship, this episode offers practical and theological insights for Christians seeking to live faithfully in a fragmented world.

Many parents worry that setting boundaries will upset their child or damage connection.Healthy boundaries actually help children feel safer, calmer, and more emotionally secure.Children thrive when adults provide:clear expectations,consistent routines,and calm responses during difficult moments.When boundaries are inconsistent, children may struggle with emotional regulation, tantrums, aggression, anxiety, or testing limits because they are still learning where safety exists.A boundary is not punishment.A boundary is a calm limit that teaches safety, respect, and emotional regulation.Your child may cry, yell, or become frustrated when you hold a limit. That does not mean the boundary is wrong. It means they are learning how to handle disappointment with support.You can stay calm, connected, and firm:“I hear you.”“I know this is hard.”“And the answer is still no.”Children do not need perfect parents.They need adults who are predictable, emotionally safe, and willing to lead with both connection and structure.Connection before correction does not mean no boundaries.It means we guide children with empathy while still teaching limits.Close your eyes and take a deep belly breath.

Most parents teach their children “stranger danger” and protective behaviours believing it will keep them safe. But what if the way we’ve approached child safety for decades isn’t actually the most effective strategy? In this confronting but deeply important conversation, Dr Justin Coulson speaks with child sexual abuse prevention specialist Dr Julia Rudolph about how abuse really unfolds, why grooming is often invisible to families, and the practical shifts parents can make to create safer environments for children. This episode explores the hidden patterns behind grooming, the limits of child-focused prevention strategies, and why parents play the most powerful role in protecting kids. It’s uncomfortable listening at times — but it may also change the way you think about safety forever. KEY POINTS: Why most child sexual abuse does not begin with fear or violenceHow grooming targets both children and adults The “Five Cs of Grooming” parents need to understand Why traditional “protective behaviours” education may fall short The research-backed parenting strategies linked to lower abuse risk How supervision, boundaries, and engagement create safer environments The shift parents need to make from teaching safety to creating safety QUOTE OF THE EPISODE:“Prevention is not about preparing children to manage dangerous adults. It’s about adults creating the conditions that make children harder to access, harder to isolate, and surrounded by safe, engaged environments.” RESOURCES MENTIONED: Protective Pathways Happy Families ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: Learn the signs and stages of grooming, both online and offline Get curious about the environments and adults around your child Create clear family rules and boundaries around supervision and care Focus on warm, connected relationships with your children Shift the question from “How do I teach my child to stay safe?” to “How do I create safer environments around my child?” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
