If you grew up during the era of the original Star Wars trilogy, you're probably more familiar with Kenner's repro art than you may realize. From weekly newspaper ads to many of the images on cardbacks, cups, and Star Wars memorabilia, repro art presented the latest toys in an appealing way, enticing both children and parents to “collect them all.” And for Kenner, repro art standardized how these action figures and assorted items appeared in print across the country. So, how much do you know about repro? Join host David Quinn for part one of a new collectors conversation series, as he chats with collector Ron Salvatore. Dive deeper into previously unexplored topics, as Ron shares insights and information from the articles he's written for the website The Star Wars Collectors Archive over the past year. Ron and David also discuss the exciting collector events they've attended together, and the ways in which meetups can profoundly impact friendships within the Star Wars community. This is the essence of collecting and connecting, and why Star Wars resonates with each of us. And this is Star Wars: Prototypes and Production!

We read the papers so you don't have to. Today: The Mail is giddy over a potential political union between Elon Musk and Dominic Cummings – luckily, Jonn is here to rain on their parade. Meta's techno-specs get a test drive in The Times, but Natasha thinks a bad review could be the least of Mark Zuckerberg's concerns this week. Plus – The Guardian celebrates saucy movies for women, so we've asked Marcus to investigate. Hopefully, we haven't made a huge mistake. Natasha Devon is joined by Marcus ‘The Grande Fromage' Brigstocke, and journalist and train enthusiast Jonn Elledge.

George Osborne and Ed Balls are back for their first round of questions of the year, ready to mull the big conundrums of 2025! Craig Oliver, former director of Politics and Communications in David Cameron's No 10, asks the pair to weigh in on the upcoming Trump Presidency. Do we need to take him seriously – and literally – this time around? In the wake of our Inside No 10: David Cameron - The First Six Months series, should Labour have taken a leaf from the Cameron/Osborne era and painted a fuller picture of their economic approach while in opposition? And, Ed and George consider Keir Starmer's national security adviser – is there anything amiss with the appointment of Jonathan Powell? Or does it make sense?

'Auschwitz: Not So Long Ago. Not So Far Away' opened Jan. 10 in Toronto at the Royal Ontario Museum, marking the only Canadian stop for the eight-year-old travelling show. The exhibit originally launched in Spain in 2017, and the Toronto version is a smaller edition due to space restrictions: showcasing some 500 artifacts and photos from the actual site of Auschwitz, the modern world's most notorious genocide factory. But while the Canadian debut may seem belated, the timing is perfect: it arrives just a couple of weeks ahead of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on Jan. 27. It's also a significant time for the Canadian Jewish community, which is facing an unprecedented spike in antisemitism, including Holocaust denial and distortion, wherein Israelis are being called modern Nazis for their military response in Gaza after Oct. 7. Were these issues on the minds of the curators? How has the exhibit adapted to update post-Oct. 7? The CJN Daily‘s host, Ellin Bessner, went to see for herself. On a private media tour on the day before the exhibit opened to the public, Bessner walked through the museum wondering about the relevance of showcasing the eerie similarities between this past year and the months leading up to the Holocaust. As she discovered, the organizers aren't moralizing or preaching, but rather letting their rigorously researched historical evidence and facts speak for themselves. On the episode, you'll hear from Toronto Holocaust historian professor Robert Jan van Pelt, whose mother survived Auschwitz; and from British curator Paul Salmons, plus Luis Ferreiro, director of the private Spanish company MUSEALIA, which owns the touring exhibit. Joshua Basseches, the CEO of the ROM, also joins. What we talked about: Learn more about the ROM exhibit Auschwitz: Not So Long Ago. Not So Far Away and how to buy tickets.

The advertising exec behind some of the most successful adverts of recent decades shares some of the decisions that have influenced his career, including an early decision to accept a lower salary and instead pursue and opportunity that would bring him more opportunities. Sir John would go out to co-found successful agencies Bartle Bogle Hegarty, and Saatchi and Saatchi. Today, Sir John says he shuns five year plans, instead focusing on 'five minute plans' and says he tries to make each day as interesting as it can be.

We are back! It is now 2025, the holidays are over, and it's time to get back to talking about video games. I was in Las Vegas over the Christmas holiday, and went to AREA15 (along with Meow Wolf's Omega Mart as well as the Asylum Bar and Arcade) as well as the Pinball Hall of Fame. I also picked up Balatro. I won on my second game, and I will now retire from the game forever. (Or will I?) Apple has halted production on their Apple Vision Pro headset because they believe they have produced enough units to meet the demand over the headset's lifetime. Stern Pinball has announced a new Dungeons & Dragons pinball machine with celebrity voiceovers as well as a procedurally generated dungeon that changes every Sunday. Then we talk to Rob about my virtual pinball cabinet, and how Zen Studios unlocked the cabinet mode for free for Pinball FX3 users, rather than forcing you to jump through hoops to get a free activation code.

Si les grands ensembles et les quartiers populaires étaient autrefois synonymes de progrès et de modernité, à l'image des cités radieuses conçues par Le Corbusier, ils ont vu depuis quelques décennies leur image s'effondrer dans notre imaginaire collectif.Pour tenter de changer la donne, les pouvoirs publics, par la voix d'Emmanuel Macron, ont annoncé une consultation architecturale d'envergure baptisée "Quartiers de demain". Dans dix quartiers dits prioritaires, les cabinets les plus prestigieux s'affronteront tout au long de l'année dans un concours d'architectes afin de proposer 10 nouvelles cités radieuses.Mais avant de suivre ce concours au fil des mois à venir, Thomas Rozec, accompagné de Marie-Christine Jaillet, géographe et sociologue, et de Renaud Epstein, sociologue, a tenté de comprendre le désamour qu'ont vécu les quartiers populaires.Merci à L'Europe des Projets Architecturaux et Urbains (EPAU) avec qui nous avons fabriqué cet épisode.Programme B est un podcast de Binge Audio présenté par Thomas Rozec.

NOT THE SAFE CHOICE—Most magazines are not political. Unless, that is, you create a bilingual Arabic-English language magazine about design out of Beirut. Or another bilingual magazine about women and gender—also out of Beirut. Then, perhaps, your intentions are a bit less opaque.Maya Moumne is a Lebanese designer by training who now divides her time between Beirut and Montréal. She is the editor and co-creator of Journal Safar and Al Hayya, two magazines that attempt to capture the breadth and diversity of what we inaccurately—monolithically—call “the Arab World.” Both magazines are also examples of tremendous design and, frankly, bravery.The subject-matter on display here means the magazines have limited distribution in the very region they cover—which is both ironic and the exact reason the magazines exist. That both have also been noticed and fêted by magazine insiders in the West is perhaps also something worth celebrating.Maya Moumne is a designer. Of the possibilities for a better and more inclusive future for everyone, everywhere.[Production note: This conversation was recorded prior to the violence in Lebanon. We send our best wishes to the staff of Journal Safar and Al Hayya and hope they are safe.

Contractor Success Map with Randal DeHart | Contractor Bookkeeping And Accounting Services
This Podcast Is Episode 610, And It's About Practical Applications Of A Must-Read Book Into Your Small Business It's amazing how some books stand the test of time. We usually refer to one of our most recommended, Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, when we mentor our contractor clients and employees. Although it was first published three decades ago, its lessons are still incredibly relevant for business owners. You might wonder – how these habits fit into today's landscape of changing trends, tight deadlines, and constant distractions. The short answer is that they're timeless because they focus on principles that help you stay grounded while growing your construction business. Below, we'll break down some of Covey's key habits and explore how you can bring them to life in your business today. Think of this as your blueprint for thriving in the chaos, not just surviving it. 1. Be proactive – the power of owning your choices Covey's first habit, "Be Proactive," is about owning your life and decisions. For business owners, this means focusing on what you can control instead of stressing about what you can't. Here's the thing about being reactive—it's debilitating. Complaining about a slow economy or frustrated customers doesn't solve anything, but switching to a proactive mindset is a game changer. Anticipate potential challenges before they become disasters. For instance, if team morale starts to dip, address it early with open communication or team-building initiatives. Focus on solutions, not problems. Instead of dwelling on a client who backed out, consider what adjustments in your sales process could improve retention. Teach your team the same mindset. An empowered team that problem-solves proactively is a considerable asset. Proactive leadership doesn't just keep you afloat; it helps you adapt and innovate in a competitive landscape. 2. "Begin with the end in mind" - set clear goals This one often hits deep because how many rush into a workday without a clear direction? Covey's second habit reminds us to define our goals before taking action. If you're running a business, you have to think long-term. What kind of company culture are you building? What legacy do you want to leave behind? Once you're clear on those things, aligning your daily tasks and decisions with the bigger picture becomes easier. Create a vision statement that both you and your team can rally behind. Before launching a new service, ask, "What does success look like?" and "How does this align with our core mission?" Use goal-setting frameworks like OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) to ensure everyone in the business knows where they're headed. Think of this habit as your compass. Without it, you're likely to work hard but still feel lost. 3. Put first things first – manage your time Quick question – how often do you find yourself buried in "urgent" tasks, only to acknowledge at the end of the day that you didn't touch what's important? That's where Covey's third habit, "Put First Things First," shines. It's all about distinguishing between urgent and truly important, then acting accordingly. Use Covey's Time Management Matrix. Focus on tasks that fall into Quadrant II – essential but not urgent (strategic planning, team development, or building new partnerships). Delegate or eliminate tasks that don't move the needle. Not everything deserves your attention. Start each day by asking yourself, What's my biggest priority? If I do nothing else today, what task absolutely must get done? When you focus on what truly matters, you'll feel less like you're playing catch-up and more like you're moving forward. 4. Think win-win – building mutually beneficial relationships Business isn't a zero-sum game. Covey's fourth habit, "Think Win-Win," pushes us to find solutions that benefit everyone involved—clients, employees, and business partners. It's the foundation of trust and collaboration. Negotiate with empathy. During discussions, consider the other party's needs and goals and find a compromise that works for everyone. For your team, create opportunities where employees feel empowered and valued. A win-win work culture keeps talent engaged. Innovate with your customers in mind. Ask how you can provide more value to them – and watch how that mindset leads to loyalty and referrals. Win-win isn't always the easiest route, but it pays off in the long run. 5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood – empathetic communication Have you ever been in a meeting where everyone is talking, but no one is actually listening? Covey nailed it when he discussed the importance of understanding others before getting your point across. Empathetic communication is one of the most valuable tools for construction business owners. Whether with a frustrated client or a team member struggling with workload, truly listening builds trust and clarity. Pause during tough conversations and fully grasp the other person's perspective before responding. Use active listening techniques like paraphrasing or asking thoughtful follow-up questions. Encourage this habit in your team to strengthen collaboration and reduce misunderstandings. The better your communication, the stronger your relationships – and a thriving business is built on great relationships. 6. Synergize Combine the strengths of diverse team members to achieve innovative solutions. In construction, this can mean leveraging the unique skills of various trades to enhance project efficiency. Encourage collaboration through joint problem-solving sessions, where team members can share ideas and work together on challenges. The combined efforts of a well-coordinated team can lead to exceptional results. 7. Sharpen the Saw Invest in the ongoing development of yourself and your team. This includes professional training, certifications, and wellness initiatives to ensure everyone functions at their best. Encourage a culture of continuous improvement through workshops and skill-building exercises. Regularly reassessing and refining processes keeps your business adaptive and innovative in a competitive market. What makes "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" priceless for construction business owners today? Its focus is on principles over trends. Trends come and go, but these habits ground you in what truly works – proactive leadership, clear goals, thoughtful planning, and fostering meaningful relationships. Adapting these habits to your daily life won't happen overnight, but even small shifts can create momentum. Pick one habit to focus on this week, cultivate a proactive, goal-oriented, collaborative environment, and see how it transforms your leadership and business growth. Remember, no matter how fast the business world moves, the principles in this book will always hold relevance. They don't just make you more effective – they make you a better leader, decision-maker, and collaborator. So whether you need an excellent book or a knowledgeable bookkeeper, we are here to help.

There's Nobody Like U, Turning Red.Turning Red is a ground-breaking animated film, rightfully kicking off Animation Season 2025 in style, with magical puberty front and centre, that addresses the universal struggles of adolescence through the story of Mei Lee, a 13-year-old girl caught between her familial obligations and her burgeoning independence.Domee Shi's feature-length directorial debut represents a significant milestone as Pixar's first solo female director and first female director of colour, as well as having the first all-female lead team, and a unique animation style influenced by anime and traditional Chinese culture, enhancing its visual storytelling. And Red Panda Mei is SO FLUFFY!It's also a deft exploration of cultural identity reflecting the immigrant experience, of balancing family expectations with personal desires, as well as tackling periods; a subject that remains taboo in most situations, encouraging open conversations about menstruation. It captures the awkwardness and excitement of teenage life—particularly for girls who feel the weight of both cultural and familial expectations.Critically acclaimed yet hugely financially underperforming, Turning Red highlights the challenges faced by diverse narratives in mainstream cinema. It's more than just a children's movie; it is a celebration of the regular, normal, everyday experiences that shape us all. Let's relive our awkward teen experiences together!4*Town 4 EVER!!!I would love to hear your thoughts on Turning Red !Verbal Diorama is now an award-winning podcast!

Shoot us a Text.As the 2025 CES Show winds down, we have some final thoughts from correspondent Steve Greenfield. Plus we look at Goodyear's solution for autonomous vehicles in snowy climates and talk about the Mach-E overtaking the traditional Mustang in sales.We've got correspondent Steve Greenfield joining us one last time to share his final thoughts from an exciting CES 2025.At CES, Goodyear unveiled cutting-edge tire tech to tackle autonomous vehicles' Achilles' heel—icy and snowy conditions. Will smarter tires pave the way for self-driving cars to conquer wintry roads?Goodyear and Dutch TNO showcased tire tech using vehicle cameras and weather data to predict braking distances on icy roads.Automated braking systems struggle in snow and ice, limiting self-driving vehicle adoption in colder climates like Ohio.Goodyear's “SightLine” platform combines tire and weather data to improve braking predictions; future iterations may integrate tire-embedded sensors.This tech could expand self-driving car markets beyond sunny locales like Phoenix and San Francisco.Chris Helsel, Goodyear CTO: “Without a trained driver, the system doesn't know it's a snowy road. That's the innovation we've done here.”The Mustang Mach-E outsold the gas-powered Mustang in 2024, signaling a shift in Ford's iconic lineup. Here's how both models performed and what it means for the brand.Ford sold 51,745 Mustang Mach-Es in 2024, a 27% increase, compared to 44,003 gas-powered Mustangs—a 9.5% decline.Production issues led to tight supplies, but Ford emphasized the model's profitability and strong appeal among enthusiastsThe gas Mustang now dominates a shrinking sports car category as rivals Chevrolet and Dodge exit the market, with Ford gaining 10% market share in 2024.Ford last year signaled it intends to expand the traditional portfolio, showing some dealers variants including a four-door coupe and a four-wheel-drive off-road model in a closed-door meeting.“Mustang is a very profitable and vibrant business for Ford.

Episode 195: The Colonial Roots of Climate Injustice in Africa: A United Front for Strategic Repositioning of the Global South In this lecture, Dr. Fadhel Kaboub identifies the political and economic dynamics between the Global North and South since the wave of African independence in mid-20th century, by which the former has continued its colonial methods of resource extraction, steering the economies of the latter towards dependence on European and American technology and financing. By drawing on examples of large-scale agricultural and energy projects in Ethiopia, Namibia, and Uganda, Dr. Kaboub outlines the process by which African, Latin American, and Middle Eastern resources are captured by foreign energy companies. As Dr. Kaboub explains, poor countries are prevented from developing a domestic manufacturing base, rendering them dependent on companies from the industrialized economies of the Global North, which both produce the technology necessary for resource-harvesting and conduct post-extraction processing or refinement. As such, economies of the Global South are intentionally prevented from industrializing and are instead encouraged to invest heavily in primary resources for subsequent extraction by actors from the Global North. In the final part of his presentation, Dr. Kaboub dedicates his attention to the “carbon credit” scheme, by which large Western energy companies purchase the right to pollute, which they offset by preventing pollution (read: industrialization) in the Global South, in what amounts to painting an environmentally-friendly veneer over the same colonial process. Fadhel Kaboub is Associate Professor of Economics at Denison University (on leave), and the president of the Global Institute for Sustainable Prosperity. He is also a member of the Independent Expert Group on Just Transition and Development and serves as senior advisor with Power Shift Africa. He has recently served as Under-Secretary-General for Financing for Development at the Organisation of Southern Cooperation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Dr. Kaboub is an expert on designing public policies to enhance monetary and economic sovereignty in the Global South, build resilience, and promote equitable and sustainable prosperity. His recent work focuses on Just Transition, Climate Finance, and transforming the global trade, finance, and investment architecture. His most recent co-authored publication is Just Transition: A Climate, Energy, and Development Vision for Africa (May 2023, published by the Independent Expert Group on Just Transition and Development). He has held a number of research affiliations with the Levy Economics Institute (NY), the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University (MA), the Economic Research Forum (Cairo), Power Shift Africa (Nairobi), and the Center for Strategic Studies on the Maghreb (Tunis). He is currently based in Nairobi, Kenya and is working on climate finance and development policies in Africa. You can follow him on Twitter @FadhelKaboub and you can read his Global South Perspectives on substack where he blogs regularly. This podcast was recorded on the 9th of March 2024, at the Centre d'Études Maghrébines à Tunis (CEMAT) with Dr. Max Ajl, Senior Fellow at the Department of Conflict and Development Studies, Ghent University, researcher with the Observatoire de la Souveraineté Alimentaire et l'Environnement (OSAE), and research fellow at the Merian Center for Advanced Studies in the Maghreb (MECAM).
