In this episode, Rohde sits this one out, but the conversation stays lively. Jason stands firm as a proud Drake stan—defending him, but not without a few caveats. Meanwhile, Dirk braves the cold for a run and learns firsthand that freezing temperatures don't play nice. Style debates spark as Tony makes it clear he's not on board with tennis shoes paired with suits. Fashion rules or personal preference? The discussion unfolds. Jason shares his struggle with watching cam-rip videos of movies in theaters—just cannot do it. And as news swirls about RDJ potentially taking on Doctor Doom, skepticism rises. Will the fans go for it? Will it work?  From music and movies to fashion and freezing runs, this episode serves up a mix of passionate takes and thought-provoking debates.

Do you have a wonderful tenant who you would love to sell your house to, but you know the tenant does not have the down payment?  Even though they make great income, this tenant would likely not qualify for a first-time home loan.  As a landlord, is there a way the tenant can buy the home from you and defer some taxes?  There is a way!  Frank Rohde of Ownify joins me today and explains fractional home ownership for first-time home buyers, all while helping landlords defer paying some taxes.

In this episode of Casually Lit, the crew reflects on the highlights (and lowlights) of 2024. We share some hilarious anecdotes about the art of "public dodging" – the skillful maneuver of avoiding and making a hasty retreat when you spot someone you know in public. Rohde, discusses: reducing beer to a syrup consistency for pancake / waffle topping.  We also dive into the world of Goosebumps-inspired beers from Turning Point Brewery that a friend bought us. We discuss our tasting notes a bit. We also tried the Big Bad Baptist Blueberry, which got a ravishing Oatmeal review from Jason. Jason and Dirk talk about their experience watching Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in a vibrating, rocking movie theater seat. Was it worth it?

My exploration of power began with Plato's philosophies in school and deepened through my university studies in political science and law, and a PhD in international relations.As a young girl, I was attracted to all things martial and loved playing with guns together with the boys in my neighbourhood. In my teens, this changed as I not only started to prefer going out to dance with the boys, but also started less martial activities like Yoga and meditation, and became involved in the peace movement. Like many in my generation, I was concerned by the Cold War and in search of better ways to secure peace than through weapons and “mutual assured destruction” - MAD. So when choosing my path for university, I decided to study political science, and in particular security studies. I wanted to understand how power operated in the world of politics, and how to make security policy more secure. I had the privilege of studying arms control negotiations while doing an internship at the United Nations in Geneva, and wrote my master's thesis on the psychological aspects of these negotiations. I approached my PhD. questioning the “guns and bullets” mainstream approach to security policy. Awarded a scholarship in security studies, I focused on a theme that was the opposite of guns and bullets: how civil society organisations in the East and West worked together to influence intergovernmental relations and played an important role in the peaceful end of the Cold War. During my PhD, a fellowship at Harvard introduced me to visionary leaders, united by their habit to think beyond what seems possible and their desire to make a meaningful difference. A life-shaping experience.My career started in development cooperation, first as policy expert and programme manager at the European Commission and later as manager in consulting. This work allowed me to see both the power dynamics of large organisations and the challenges of change. I explored why some organisations we were supporting were able to change, while others remained stuck in old, often wasteful patterns. This curiosity lead me to study organisation development and leadership, and finally into coaching, and to my work at the European Investment Bank, where I served for 17 years in a range of roles dealing with personnel and leadership development, coaching, and organisational change. 

In this episode, Jim talks about the habit of some deponents of qualifying their answers by using words like think, feel, believe, and presume. These words are known in academic and psychological circles as "linguistic hedges." They're common and harmless in social conversations. But in the unforgiving world of sworn testimony, they create a record suggesting witnesses don't know what they're talking about. Not only do hedges diminish the force of testimony, but they can render it entirely inadmissible. In the wrap-up, Jim provides specific practice strategies for impressing upon clients that the lax and incautious use of hedges can inflict grievous harm on their claims or defenses. He also explains how to train clients to avoid using hedges when testifying.SHOW NOTESStrategic Use Of (UN)certainty Expressions, Lorson, Cummins and Rohde, Frontiers in Communications, Mar. 18, 2021, https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/communication/articles/10.3389/fcomm.2021.635156/fullThe Use of Hedging in Research Articles on Applied Linguistics, Livytska, I., Journal of Language and Cultural Education (July 2019), https://sciendo.com/article/10.2478/jolace-2019-0003Hedging and Academic Writing: An Analysis of Lexical Hedges, Demir, C., Journal of Language and Linguistic Studies, 14(4) (2018), https://www.jlls.org/index.php/jlls/article/view/812Linguistic Hedging In The Light Of Politeness Theory, Vlasyan, G., European Proceedings of Social and Behavioural Sciences (2018), https://www.europeanproceedings.com/article/10.15405/epsbs.2018.04.02.98A Study of Hedges in Courtroom Oral Arguments from the Perspective of Contextual Adaption, Chen and Zhang, International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Publications, https://ijmrap.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/IJMRAP-V4N8P114Y22.pdfHedging in Courtroom Discourse, Lebedeva and Gribanova, http://ial-journal.org/en/node/53Middleton v.

Such a statement is not sufficient as evidence and is inadmissible in its present form. A declaration expressing that statements are "true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief" carries with it the plain implication that the affiant does not know whether the statements are true or not, and does not wish to be held accountable if they are not.6 While admittedly the phrase "best of my knowledge and belief" or "information and belief" is a part of common speech, it equivocates and, therefore, does not meet the requirements of Rule 56(e) that an affidavit "be made on personal knowledge" and "show affirmatively that the affiant is competent to testify to the matters stated therein." Rule 56(e)'s personal knowledge requirements prevents such statement "from raising genuine issues of fact sufficient to defeat summary judgment." Pace v.
