Transcript:Nl: Sanne stond op de rand van de ijsbaan.En: Sanne stood on the edge of the ice rink.Nl: De twinkelende kerstlampjes die de marktkraampjes omzoomden, maakten haar warm van binnen.En: The twinkling Christmas lights lining the market stalls made her feel warm inside.Nl: Maar er was weinig tijd om van het uitzicht te genieten.En: But there was little time to enjoy the view.Nl: Kerstmis naderde snel, en Sanne had nog steeds geen cadeau voor haar broer Bram.En: Christmas was approaching quickly, and Sanne still didn't have a gift for her brother, Bram.Nl: De lucht was ijskoud en gevuld met de geur van warme chocolademelk.En: The air was icy cold and filled with the scent of hot chocolate.Nl: Sanne rukte zichzelf los van haar gedachten en begon langs de kraampjes te lopen.En: Sanne pulled herself away from her thoughts and began to walk past the stalls.Nl: Er was zoveel te zien: handgemaakte kaarsen, wollen sjaals, en knapperige peperkoek in de vorm van kerststerren.En: There was so much to see: handmade candles, woolen scarves, and crispy gingerbread in the shape of Christmas stars.Nl: Elke kraam had zijn eigen charme, maar niets leek het perfecte cadeau voor Bram te zijn.En: Each stall had its own charm, but nothing seemed to be the perfect gift for Bram.Nl: Sanne zuchtte.En: Sanne sighed.Nl: Ze wilde iets vinden dat uniek en betekenisvol was.En: She wanted to find something that was unique and meaningful.Nl: Niet alleen voor Bram, maar ook om Maartje te verrassen.En: Not just for Bram, but also to surprise Maartje.Nl: Maartje was altijd zo creatief en stijlvol.En: Maartje was always so creative and stylish.Nl: Sanne wilde haar laten zien dat ze ook iets bijzonders kon bedenken.En: Sanne wanted to show her that she could think of something special too.Nl: Terwijl ze verder liep, hoorde ze het geluid van schaatsen die over het ijs schraapten.En: As she continued to walk, she heard the sound of skates scraping over the ice.Nl: Het bracht haar terug naar de winters van hun jeugd, toen zij en Bram urenlang op deze baan schaatsten.En: It brought her back to the winters of their youth, when she and Bram skated for hours on this rink.Nl: Een glimlach verscheen op haar gezicht.En: A smile appeared on her face.Nl: Plotseling bleef Sanne staan.En: Suddenly, Sanne stopped.Nl: In een kraampje iets verderop zag ze prachtige sneeuwbollen met miniatuurdorpjes erin.En: In a stall a little further ahead, she saw beautiful snow globes with miniature villages inside.Nl: Een idee kwam in haar op.En: An idea came to her.Nl: Ze zou een sneeuwbol personaliseren!En: She would personalize a snow globe!Nl: Bij de kraam koos Sanne een elegante sneeuwbol met een simpele, glazen koepel.En: At the stall, Sanne chose an elegant snow globe with a simple, glass dome.Nl: "Kan ik hier een foto in laten zetten?"En: "Can I have a photo placed in here?"Nl: vroeg ze hoopvol aan de verkoper.En: she asked the vendor hopefully.Nl: De verkoper knikte en pakte een folder.En: The vendor nodded and picked up a brochure.Nl: "Ja, dat kan.En: "Yes, you can.Nl: Heb je een foto bij je?"En: Do you have a photo with you?"Nl: Gelukkig had Sanne foto's op haar telefoon.En: Luckily, Sanne had photos on her phone.Nl: Ze koos een beeld van haar en Bram, opgenomen op een winterse dag niet ver van dezelfde ijsbaan.En: She chose an image of her and Bram, taken on a wintry day not far from the same ice rink.Nl: Terwijl de verkoper aan de slag ging, voelde Sanne dat ze iets bijzonders had gevonden.En: While the vendor got to work, Sanne felt that she had found something special.Nl: Een halfuur later had Sanne haar cadeau.En: Half an hour later, Sanne had her gift.Nl: De sneeuwbol was prachtig.En: The snow globe was beautiful.Nl: Binnenin zweefden de sneeuwvlokken rond hun foto, een herinnering gevangen in glas.En: Inside, snowflakes floated around their photo, a memory captured in glass.Nl: Op kerstochtend overhandigde Sanne de sneeuwbol aan Bram.En: On Christmas morning, Sanne handed the snow globe to Bram.Nl: Hij hield het stil voor zich en keek naar de draaiende sneeuwvlokken.En: He held it quietly in front of him and watched the swirling snowflakes.Nl: Zijn ogen vulden zich langzaam met emoties.En: His eyes gradually filled with emotion.Nl: "Dank je, Sanne.En: "Thank you, Sanne.Nl: Dit is perfect," zei Bram zachtjes.En: This is perfect," Bram said softly.Nl: Maartje stond erbij, en ze glimlachte breed.En: Maartje stood by and smiled broadly.Nl: "Dit is geweldig, Sanne!En: "This is amazing, Sanne!Nl: Zo creatief en persoonlijk."En: So creative and personal."Nl: Sanne voelde een warme gloed in haar hart.En: Sanne felt a warm glow in her heart.Nl: Het was gelukt.En: She had succeeded.Nl: Ze had iets gemaakt dat zowel Bram als Maartje raakte.En: She had made something that touched both Bram and Maartje.Nl: Eindelijk begreep ze dat een cadeau niet groot of duur hoefde te zijn; het moest gewoon uit het hart komen.En: She finally understood that a gift didn't need to be big or expensive; it just had to come from the heart.Nl: Met deze nieuwe zelfvertrouwen keek Sanne rond.En: With this new confidence, Sanne looked around.Nl: Ze zag de ijsbaan, de kraampjes en haar gelukkige familie en vrienden.En: She saw the ice rink, the stalls, and her happy family and friends.Nl: Het voelde als een perfect kerstcadeau.En: It felt like a perfect Christmas gift.Nl: Ze glimlachte breed en straalde van binnenuit.En: She smiled broadly and beamed from within.

Transcript:Sv: Under en klar och kall vinterhimmel, omgiven av snötäckta granar, samlades en grupp unga idrottare vid träningslägret.En: Under a clear and cold winter sky, surrounded by snow-covered fir trees, a group of young athletes gathered at the training camp.Sv: Elsa drog upp dragkedjan på sin jacka och kände det isiga vintervindarna som snärtade mot hennes kinder.En: Elsa zipped up her jacket and felt the icy winter winds snapping against her cheeks.Sv: Trots den kyliga luften kände hon en brinnande hetta inombords.En: Despite the chilly air, she felt a burning heat inside.Sv: Hon hade mycket att bevisa för sig själv och för sitt lag.En: She had a lot to prove to herself and her team.Sv: Det var dagen efter jul, och team-building-övningen skulle börja.En: It was the day after Christmas, and the team-building exercise was about to begin.Sv: Elsa visste att detta var chansen hon hade väntat på.En: Elsa knew this was the chance she had been waiting for.Sv: Hon ville visa sin styrka och beslutsamhet, inte bara som en löpare utan också som en ledare.En: She wanted to show her strength and determination, not just as a runner but also as a leader.Sv: Oskar, lagets sprinter, sneglade skeptiskt på Elsa.En: Oskar, the team's sprinter, glanced skeptically at Elsa.Sv: Han hade alltid ifrågasatt hennes ledarskapsförmågor.En: He had always questioned her leadership abilities.Sv: Elsa behövde tänka snabbt.En: Elsa needed to think quickly.Sv: Strax bredvid stod Liam, en tyst kille med stort hjärta men som sällan tog intiativ.En: Right next to her stood Liam, a quiet guy with a big heart but who seldom took initiative.Sv: Tränaren förklarade dagens uppgift: att navigera en serie hinder i skogen och samla upp flaggor.En: The coach explained the day's task: to navigate a series of obstacles in the forest and collect flags.Sv: Gruppen skulle behöva arbeta tillsammans för att nå målet.En: The group would need to work together to reach the goal.Sv: Elsa kände nervositeten öka, men istället för att tveka, valde hon att byta taktik.En: Elsa felt the nervousness rising, but instead of hesitating, she chose to change tactics.Sv: "Hej, Liam," sa Elsa plötsligt.En: "Hey, Liam," Elsa said suddenly.Sv: "Du är bra på orientering, eller hur?En: "You're good at orienteering, right?Sv: Kan du leda oss genom skogen?"En: Can you lead us through the forest?"Sv: Liam tittade förvånat men nickade med ett blygt leende.En: Liam looked surprised but nodded with a shy smile.Sv: "Och Oskar, du är snabb!En: "And Oskar, you're fast!Sv: Du får samla så många flaggor som möjligt."En: You should collect as many flags as possible."Sv: Oskar såg förvånad ut över Elsas förslag men kunde inte förneka logiken.En: Oskar looked surprised by Elsa's suggestion

landscape, while Oskar, with his speed, managed to collect more flags than anyone had ever done before.Sv: Efter en intensiv timme stod Elsa och hennes lag vid målet, andfådda men fyllda av stolthet.En: After an intense hour, Elsa and her team stood at the finish line, breathless but filled with pride.Sv: De hade lyckats, överträffat alla förväntningar.En: They had succeeded, exceeding

att se styrkan i varje individ.En: She had found her confidence and learned that true leadership is about trusting one another and seeing the strength in every individual.Sv: Vintersolen sänkte sig över horisonten medan Elsa log för sig själv.En: The winter sun set over the horizon as Elsa smiled to herself.Sv: Hon hade inte bara vunnit dagens utmaning; hon hade vunnit något mycket

In this deeply real episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with 19-year-old speaker and mentor Lawrence Harris, who has transformed profound personal pain into a mission of purpose. From being kicked out at 13 to battling CPTSD, Lawrence shares how he built resilience not as a buzzword, but as a way of surviving—and thriving. This conversation explores the unglamorous truth of healing, the discipline of self-love, and why encouragement—not expectation—is what youth really need today. About the Guest:Lawrence Harris is a youth mentor, digital entrepreneur, and motivational speaker. Despite his age, he brings lived wisdom shaped by adversity and fueled by an unbreakable will to rise. Kicked out of his home as a teenager and navigating mental health challenges, Lawrence rebuilt his life through small acts of self-discipline, empowering content, and by mentoring others. He now helps young people find their voice and purpose, offering tools through his books, courses, and social platforms. Key Takeaways: Resilience is about choosing to keep going, especially when quitting feels easier. Self-love starts with small habits like brushing your teeth or cleaning your space—discipline before affirmation. Healing is personal; Lawrence emphasizes surrounding yourself with affirming people and cutting off toxic influences. Today's youth don't need pressure to perform—they need validation to be. We must be careful not to glorify trauma but instead showcase the transformation and offer actionable guidance for others.

Fluent Fiction - Hindi: From Stage Fright to Spotlight: Reeya's Musical Triumph Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hi/episode/2025-12-25-23-34-02-hi Story Transcript:Hi: हिमालय की गोद में बसे शिमला में, सर्दियों का मौसम अपने शबाब पर था।En: In the lap of the Himalayas, perched Shimla, the winter season was at its peak.Hi: चारों तरफ बर्फ की चादर बिछी थी और हर जगह क्रिसमस की चमकती सजावट देखकर मन प्रफुल्लित हो रहा था।En: A blanket of snow lay everywhere, and the sparkling Christmas decorations all around filled everyone with joy.Hi: इसी बीच, स्थानीय स्कूल में सालाना शीतकालीन संगीत कार्यक्रम की तैयारियां जोरों पर थीं।En: Meanwhile, the preparations for the annual winter music program at the local school were in full swing.Hi: रीया, एक 11वीं कक्षा की छात्रा, अपने संगीत को लेकर बहुत उत्साहित थी।En: Reeya, an 11th-grade student, was very excited about her music.Hi: उसकी छोटी बहन, अंजलि, हमेशा उसकी हौसला अफजाई करती रहती थी।En: Her younger sister, Anjali, always encouraged her.Hi: इस बार का कार्यक्रम रीया के लिए विशेष था क्योंकि वह अपने संगीत को सबके सामने प्रदर्शित करना चाहती थी।En: This year's program was special for Reeya because she wanted to showcase her music in front of everyone.Hi: लेकिन उसके सामने एक समस्या थी – उसे स्टेज पर जाने से बहुत डर लगता था।En: But she faced a problem—she was very frightened of going on stage.Hi: साथ ही, उसके दोस्त कबीर का संगीत में नैसर्गिक हुनर उसे और भी दबाव देता था।En: Additionally, her friend Kabir's natural talent in music added more pressure on her.Hi: स्कूल के संगीत कक्ष में तैयारियों का माहौल था।En: In the school's music room, the atmosphere was full of preparations.Hi: कबीर की गिटार की धुनों के बीच रीया के अंदर की घबराहट बढ़ती जा रही थी।En: Among the tunes of Kabir's guitar, Reeya's anxiety was increasing.Hi: वह सोच रही थी कि क्या वह कभी कबीर की तरह मंच पर आत्मविश्वास से खड़ी हो पाएगी।En: She was wondering if she could ever stand on stage with confidence like Kabir.Hi: रीया ने अपने डर को दूर करने का फैसला किया था।En: Reeya decided to overcome her fear.Hi: लेकिन अंतिम निर्णय करने तक, उसके कदम हिचकिचाते थे।En: But until she made the final decision, her steps hesitated.Hi: तभी अंजलि दौड़ते हुए उसके पास आई।En: Just then, Anjali came running up to her.Hi: "दीदी, तुम बहुत अच्छा गाती हो," अंजलि ने कहा।En: "Sister, you sing very well," Anjali said.Hi: "तुम्हें अपने आप पर विश्वास करना चाहिए।En: "You should believe in yourself.Hi: कबीर तो अच्छा है, लेकिन तुम उससे भी बेहतर हो सकती हो।En: Kabir is good, but you can be even better."Hi: "अंजलि की बातें सुनकर रीया के दिल में आत्मविश्वास जागा।En: Hearing Anjali's words, confidence arose in Reeya's heart.Hi: उसने ठान लिया कि इस बार वह खुद को रुकने नहीं देगी।En: She was determined not to hold herself back this time.Hi: रीया ने संगीत शिक्षक के पास जाकर एकल प्रदर्शन के लिए अपने नामांकन का प्रस्ताव दिया।En: Reeya went to the music teacher and proposed her nomination for a solo performance.Hi: उन्होंने मुस्कुराते हुए उसकी उम्मीदवारी स्वीकार कर ली।En: With a smile, they accepted her candidacy.Hi: उस शाम, अंतिम रिहर्सल में, रीया ने पूरी लगन और आत्मविश्वास के साथ अपनी प्रस्तुति दी।En: That evening, at the final rehearsal, Reeya gave her performance with full dedication and confidence.Hi: अंजलि और कबीर, दोनों ने उसके लिए ताली बजाई।En: Both Anjali and Kabir clapped for her.Hi: रिया के मन का डर धीरे-धीरे खत्म होता जा रहा था।En: The fear in Reeya's mind was gradually fading away.Hi: जब कार्यक्रम की रात आई, तो स्कूल का सभागार दर्शकों से खचाखच भरा हुआ था।En: When the night of the program arrived, the school auditorium was packed with spectators.Hi: मंच पर पहुँचकर, रीया ने अपनी आँखें बंद की और गहरी सांस ली।En: Reaching the stage, Reeya closed her eyes and took a deep breath.Hi: गिटार की पहली धुन शुरू होते ही उसने गायन शुरू किया।En: As the first tune of the guitar started, she began singing.Hi: उसकी आवाज़ पूरे हॉल में गूंज उठी।En: Her voice resonated throughout the hall.Hi: दर्शकों ने ताली बजाकर उसका उत्साहवर्धन किया।En: The audience clapped and encouraged her.Hi: प्रदर्शन खत्म होते ही तालियों की गड़गड़ाहट उसके दिल को खुशी से भर गई।En: As the performance ended, the thunderous applause filled her heart with joy.Hi: उसके शिक्षक और कबीर दोनों ने उसकी तारीफ की।En: Her teacher and Kabir both praised her.Hi: यह वह पल था जब रीया ने अपने ऊपर गर्व महसूस किया।En: It was the moment when Reeya felt proud of herself.Hi: उसने सीखा कि खुद पर विश्वास करने से बड़ी कोई जीत नहीं होती।En: She learned that there is no greater victory than believing in oneself.Hi: उस दिन के बाद, रीया ने कभी खुद की दूसरों से तुलना नहीं की।En: After that day, Reeya never compared herself to others.Hi: वह जान गई थी कि उसकी असली ताकत उसके भीतर ही है।En: She understood that her real strength lay within herself.Hi: शिमला की सर्द शाम में, रीया के दिल में आत्मविश्वास की गर्मी महसूस होने लगी।En: In the cold evening of Shimla, Reeya began to feel the warmth of confidence in her heart.

On this episode of the podcast, Amanda Head is joined by retired Lieutenant Randy Sutton, a 34-year law enforcement veteran and Founder of nonprofit, “The Wounded Blue.”Lt. Sutton shares alarming statistics that rarely make headlines: 85,000+ officers were physically attacked last year, while suicide has become one of the leading causes of death among law enforcement. He explains how years of political hostility, particularly during the Obama and Biden administrations, have devastated morale, recruitment, and retention across police departments nationwide.The discussion highlights the lifesaving work of The Wounded Blue, which has provided direct support to 16,000+ injured and disabled officers and their families. Lt. Sutton also details powerful initiatives like “Guitars for Heroes,” which raised $80,000 for the families of fallen officers and has since expanded nationwide, as well as partnerships with organizations like Ponies North that use equine therapy to help officers heal from trauma.If you want to learn more about, or even donate to The Wounded Blue, you can do so by visiting their website: https://thewoundedblue.org/If you want to check-out or make a bid in the “Guitars for Heroes” auction initiative, you can also do so by clicking here: https://auctions.charityengine.net/Default.aspx?aid=336See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Shakira BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.I am Biosnap AI, and over the past few days Shakira has been writing yet another outsized chapter in her already eventful biography. The most consequential development is on the touring front. El Salvador in English reports that after three Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour residency dates in San Salvador for February 2026 sold out in under 24 hours, Shakira responded to an avalanche of fan demand and praise from President Nayib Bukele by adding two more shows, turning a one city stop into a historic Central American residency with real long term symbolic weight for her standing in the region. On social media, Shakira herself thanked El Salvador and Central America and announced the extra dates, a move that reinforces her post breakup narrative of independence, work, and direct connection with Latin audiences rather than relying solely on U.S. or European markets.Closer to the present moment, Ticketmaster and StubHub listings confirm that Shakira is preparing for three Up Close and Personal shows at Hard Rock Live in Hollywood Florida on December 27, 28, and 29, 2025, with Vibee packaging the concerts into premium hotel and VIP experiences. These appearances, framed by Ticketmaster and Ticketmaster's own tour blog as intimate caps to a massive 2025 North American run, look designed to showcase her as both stadium force and high end live brand, a strategy that could shape how her touring era is remembered in future career profiles.There is also a lingering business and image narrative still echoing from late 2024. People magazine reported that Shakira launched a Univision linked contest to give away the purple car she bought for herself after her split from Gerard Pique, tying the giveaway to fans posting dances to her single Soltera on Instagram and TikTok. She described the car as a symbol of her newly single life but emphasized that human connection matters more than material things, using the stunt to underline a storyline of emotional rebirth and fan centric gratitude rather than simple luxury. While gossip outlets continue to spin speculation around her love life and future collaborations, no new romantic relationship or major business deal has been credibly confirmed in the last few days, and the verifiable headlines remain squarely about tickets, tours, and the ongoing transformation of heartbreak into a global live spectacle.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

¿Qué diferencia a un buen aficionado, ese que sabe "mecaniquear" con criterio en su moto, de uno que simplemente destroza tornillos? A menudo, la respuesta está en su caja de herramientas. El "bueno" tiene el equipo adecuado, mientras que el "malo" ni siquiera sabe lo que le falta. En este vídeo no venimos a recomendarte el típico maletín de supermercado, ese que se oxida a los dos días, tiene holguras y acaba redondeando las cabezas de la tornillería de tu moto. Aquí no hay chollos ni ofertas milagrosas. Entendemos la herramienta no como un gasto, sino como una inversión. Una buena llave es eterna y, a la larga, te permite ahorrar mucho dinero y, sobre todo, mucho tiempo. Esta es la lista. 1. El Salvador Silencioso. Recuperador Magnético Flexible. Alrededor de 12€ Arrancamos con algo que cuesta lo mismo que un par de desayunos: unos 12 euros de media. Y os aseguro que os va a ahorrar horas de terapia psicológica. El recuperador magnético flexible. 2. El Pulmón del Taller. Compresor de Aire. A partir de 100 €. Los buenos. Aquí subimos la apuesta, pero te aseguro que me lo vas a agradecer Hablamos de una inversión de más de 100€ para un modelo de garaje de 24 o 50 litros. 3. La Guardiana del Aluminio. Llave Dinamométrica, unos 65€. Tercera herramienta, y aquí nos ponemos serios. Por unos 65€ tenéis una llave dinamométrica de rango medio bastante decente. 4. La Velocidad. Llave de Carraca "Buena” desde 40€. Una llave de carraca de calidad, solo el mango, ronda los 40€. ¿Por qué gastar 40€ en una sola llave si hay maletines completos por ese precio? Por los "dientes". Una carraca barata tiene pocos dientes y necesita mucho giro para hacer "clic". En una moto, donde apenas cabe la mano, a veces no tienes espacio para girar tanto. 5. El Secreto Japonés. Destornilladores JIS, unos 25€. ¿Qué narices es eso de JIS? Pon atención a esto porque es vital si tienes Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki o Yamaha. Por 25 euros te compras un juego de destornilladores JIS acrónimo de ¡Japanese Industrial Standard”. 6. El Estándar Europeo. Llaves Torx, alrededor de 30€. En cambio, si tu moto es europea como BMW, Ducati, KTM, Triumph… por ejemplo necesitas Torx. Un juego de calidad en forma de "L" o vasos ronda los 30€. 7. La Herramienta Definitiva. Llave-Tenaza unos 60€. E incluso menos. La Llave-Tenaza tipo Knipex de 250 mm cuesta unos 60€. Pero esta herramienta sustituye a todo un juego de llaves fijas grandes. Sus mandíbulas son lisas y paralelas y multiplican tu fuerza por diez. 8. Cirujano de Precisión. Alicates para Arandelas desde 15-20€ Son una herramienta específica, que te pueden salvar la vida: Los alicates para Circlips o grupillas. 9. El Ojo que no Miente. Calibre o Pie de Rey por menos de 30€ Por unos 30 euros tienes uno digital de acero inoxidable muy digno. ¿Para qué sirve? Para que el ojo no te engañe. ¿Ese tornillo es de métrica 6 o de 8? El calibre te lo dice. ¿Estás tensando la cadena? Mide la distancia exacta en el basculante para que la rueda quede alineada perfecta. ¿Están gastados tus discos de freno? Mide el grosor. Es la herramienta de diagnóstico más rápida que existe. 10. La Artillería Pesada. El "Destor-Golpe" (~25€) A veces las cosas se ponen feas. Y entra en juego este destornillador gordo y pesado que se usa golpeándolo con un martillo. Es la única forma humana de sacar los contrapesos del manillar que vienen pegados, o los tornillos de los discos de freno oxidados. El golpe clava la punta y fuerza el giro a la vez. Es esa herramienta que usas dos veces al año, pero esas dos veces te salva de tener que taladrar un tornillo y arruinar una pieza de 200€. Hagamos números. Muy bien, saquemos la calculadora. Si sumamos todo, montar este kit de herramientas "anti-tópicos", de calidad profesional y para toda la vida, nos sale por unos 440 o 450€. No hay que comprarlas todo el mismo día… Puede parecer dinero, pero pensadlo así: 450€ es menos de lo que cuesta UNA sola avería grave en taller oficial por haber pasado de rosca un cárter, o menos de lo que gastarás en grúas y recambios por mantenimientos mal hechos.

David Stryzewski shares his 2025 market takeaways, noting that the S&P 500's 20-25% gain made it an incredible year. He also discusses the growing demand for silver, projecting that it will reach $100 by the end of 2026. David also predicts that gold could hit $5,000 or $6,000, driven by the increasing global need for precious metals in new technologies such as AI and electric vehicles.Looking ahead to 2026, David anticipates a rocky but ultimately positive market, bolstered by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act 2.0. He expects companies like Walmart (WMT) to perform well as consumers seek value amidst ongoing inflation.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Ready or Not (2019) is one of our favorite Feel-Good Horror Movies Consider Feel Good Horror as a palate cleanser for those of you looking for a bit of optimism and good vibes in your horror movies. For those of you who may have followed up on our recommendations from Episode 205: Mean Horror, we’re making it up to you now. Triumph over evil! Protagonists for the win! Fist pumps all around. It’s time for some emotional healing through horror with Episode 206: Feel Good Horror. Just because the primary motivation of a horror film is often to scare you, that doesn’t mean you can’t be smiling the entire time. Horror films elevate your emotions, and often that means your happiness as well as your fear. Those movies that do both are usually big winners. When we consider feel-good horror, we ask ourselves the following questions: Is there a happy ending? Do you have a real rooting interest in the protagonists? Are there good nostalgia vibes? Was evil vanquished satisfyingly? Is there a fist-pumping “OH YEAH!” moment? Is the movie fun? Are we laughing throughout? Do the antagonists/monsters get what they deserve? Does the movie make you laugh (for the right reasons)? Did I immediately want more of the movie? Is this a movie that I would go back to as “comfort food” Final girls fit this model. Horror comedies often fit this category. Horror romances are often feel-good films. But, as always, the emotional takeaways from a movie are specifically subjective. Heather has different kinds of horror: films that are comforting and familiar, and films that are light, colorful, and breezy. These are the horror movies that put you into a happy place, however you get there. Podcast Episode 206: Feel-Good Horror You can listen to us discuss our selections using the link below.

kérlelte Zsófia.En: Zsófia pleaded.Hu: László látta a lány elszántságát és így hát megígérte, hogy komolyan veszi a feladatot.En: László saw the determination in the girl's eyes, so he promised to take the task seriously.Hu: Együtt dolgoztak, László a lámpák javításán, míg Zsófia az előadással foglalkozott.En: They worked together, László on fixing the lights while Zsófia focused on the performance.Hu: Gyakran nevettek és még nyertek is az idővel szemben, mikor a hóvihar eltévedt szélén vékony fénycsíkokat rajzolt.En: They often laughed and even beat time when the edge of the snowstorm drew thin streaks of light.Hu: Az előadás estéje végre elérkezett.En: The night of the performance finally arrived.Hu: Szülők és diákok gyülekeztek az aulában, izgatott suttogások töltötték meg a teret.En: Parents and students gathered in the lobby, and excited whispers filled the space.Hu: A díszletek csillogtak, mintha a frissen hullott hó tükre lenne.En: The decorations shimmered as if they were the mirror of freshly fallen snow.Hu: A színpad mögött Zsófia gyors utasításokat osztott, míg László a világításon dolgozott.En: Behind the stage, Zsófia gave quick instructions while László worked on the lighting.Hu: Ám, ahogy az előadás kezdődött, váratlanul kialudt minden fény.En: However, as the performance began, all the lights unexpectedly went out.Hu: A közönség izgatott zúgolódása közepette Zsófia kétségbeesetten nézett Lászlóra.En: Amidst the audience's excited murmuring, Zsófia looked at László in despair.Hu: Ő azonban nyugodt maradt.En: He, however, remained calm.Hu: "Ne aggódj, Zsófi," mondta, miközben gyorsan dolgozott.En: "Don't worry, Zsófi," he said while working quickly.Hu: Nem telt bele sok idő, és a fények újra felgyulladtak.En: It didn't take long, and the lights came back on.Hu: A közönség tapsolt, mintha már beletartozna a színjátékba.En: The audience applauded as if it were part of the play.Hu: Az előadás folytatódott hiba nélkül, és a közönség ujjongott.En: The performance continued without a hitch, and the audience cheered.Hu: A darab végén, amikor a függöny összezárult, egy helyi cégvezető jelentette be, hogy támogatni fogja az iskolai színjátszó kört.En: At the end of the play, when the curtain closed, a local company leader announced that they would support the school's drama club.Hu: Zsófia arcán boldog mosoly terült el.En: A happy smile spread across Zsófia's face.Hu: Rájött, hogy bár az út göröngyös volt, együtt mégis minden sikerül.En: She realized that although the path had been rough, together they succeeded in everything.Hu: László és a többiek támogatása nélkül nem lett volna ilyen emlékezetes az előadás.En: Without the support of László and the others, the performance would not have been so memorable.Hu: "A következő év is tele lesz kalandokkal, ebben biztos vagyok," mondta csendesen, a kinti hóesést nézve.En: "Next year will also be full of adventures, I'm sure of it," she said quietly, watching the snow fall outside.Hu: László csak bólintott egyetértően, barátját támogatva minden lépésben.En: László just nodded in agreement, supporting his friend every step of the way.Hu: Aznap éjjel Zsófia már nem álmodott hiába.En: That night, Zsófia no longer dreamed in vain.Hu: Az elkövetkező évek tele voltak ígéretekkel, amelyeket most már biztos alapokon építettek fel, barátság és együttműködés határán.En: The coming years were full of promises, which were now built on solid foundations, on the borders of friendship and collaboration.

Over the span of his illustrious career, Mike began by starting the first storefront law office in Canada, and establishing the UBC law school legal advice clinic (1968-71).  He then went on to serve for four terms as a Vancouver Alderman (1972-980), until he became a tremendously successful and articulate Mayor of Vancouver for three terms (1980-1986).  In that position he played a prominent role in establishing Vancouver as one of the world's most livable cities through effective land use and planning. Mike then moved on to serve as the 30th Premier of British Columbia (1991-1996), where he extended the boundaries of quality of life in urban areas, with the 1995 Growth Strategy Act. In that position he played a prominent role in establishing Vancouver as one of the world's most livable cities through effective land use and planning. Mike then moved on to serve as the 30th Premier of British Columbia (1991-1996), where he extended the boundaries of quality of life in urban areas, with the 1995 Growth Strategy Act. Among his many noteworthy achievements at that time was his success in safeguarding more than 12 percent of the province's land base, establishing 500 new protected areas. After retiring from politics, Mike made headlines in 2002, when a devastating six-metre fall left him partially paralyzed. He has shown incredible physical, emotional and spiritual strength in his remarkable recovery, and published a book about his ordeal called Plan B – One Man's Journey from Tragedy to Triumph. Following his accident, Mike became actively involved in spinal cord research and education, working with the Rick Hansen Man in Motion Foundation on International Collaboration on Repair Discoveries (I-CORD) and chairing the Spinal Cord Injury Quality of Life Advisory Group. As a self-described "recovering politician," Mike was appointed Federal Commissioner on the British Columbia Treaty Commission in 2003. He has always been an avid supporter of aboriginal economic development, and his commitment to the treaty process is long-standing; as Premier in 1992, he signed the agreement establishing the Commission – the neutral body responsible for facilitating treaty negotiations among the governments of Canada, B.C. and First Nations in B.C.  In recognition of Mike's exceptional community contributions, Simon Fraser University presented Mike with the 2019 President's Distinguished Community Leadership Award.

Documentary "If You Tell Anyone"-The Brett Allan Show If You Tell Anyone… is a Documentary written and produced by Norman Fried, PhD; Nathan Spiteri, and Dean Love.   This film is based on the true-life story of Australian born author/actor Nathan Spiteri, adapted from his memoir Toy Cars; One Man's Journey from Trauma to Triumph. Raped at the age of 8 years old by a man in a public locker room, Nathan endured five years of repeated abuse. His abuser kept him quiet by telling him… “If you tell anyone, I'll kill you and I'll kill your whole family.” As in all abusive relationships, Nathan was groomed and manipulated to believe that what was happening to him was his own fault.  Nathan was unable to tell anyone about what had happened to him for 25 years. As a result, his adult life spiraled into addictions to alcohol, drugs and sex. He became suicidal before finally breaking down and telling someone what had happened to him.   Nathan is now able to tell his story through the artistic structure of this documentary. The film explores the arch of transformation that young Nathan underwent as he discovered a more redemptive way of living and healing. Through real footage of trauma therapy sessions, Nathan and Dr. Norman Fried describe how healing from child sex abuse is possible.   The goal of the film is to inspire other abuse victims to speak up and to get the help they need; while also helping parents and other caretakers recognize the dangers and symptoms of a child who may be being sexually abused.   This is a powerful and cautionary story about the complexities of childhood trauma and its aftermath, starring Nathan Spiteri and Norman Fried, and directed by three-time Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker Dean Love.   Learn more about Nathan Spiteri HERE.   Nathan Spiteri's TEDx Talk can be found HERE.

If You Tell Anyone… is a Documentary written and produced by Norman Fried, PhD; Nathan Spiteri, and Dean Love. This film is based on the true-life story of Australian born author/actor Nathan Spiteri, adapted from his memoir Toy Cars; One Man's Journey from Trauma to Triumph. Raped at the age of 8 years old by a man in a public locker room, Nathan endured five years of repeated abuse. His abuser kept him quiet by telling him… "If you tell anyone, I'll kill you and I'll kill your whole family." As in all abusive relationships, Nathan was groomed and manipulated to believe that what was happening to him was his own fault.  Nathan was unable to tell anyone about what had happened to him for 25 years. As a result, his adult life spiraled into addictions to alcohol, drugs and sex. He became suicidal before finally breaking down and telling someone what had happened to him. Nathan is now able to tell his story through the artistic structure of this documentary. The film explores the arch of transformation that young Nathan underwent as he discovered a more redemptive way of living and healing. Through real footage of trauma therapy sessions, Nathan and Dr. Norman Fried describe how healing from child sex abuse is possible. The goal of the film is to inspire other abuse victims to speak up and to get the help they need; while also helping parents and other caretakers recognize the dangers and symptoms of a child who may be being sexually abused. This is a powerful and cautionary story about the complexities of childhood trauma and its aftermath, starring Nathan Spiteri and Norman Fried, and directed by three-time Emmy Award winning documentary filmmaker Dean Love.   Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)

Kevin Hughes is the author of "SocioMom: My Story of Terror, Truth and Triumph.". Kevin grew up in a house of secrets, silence, and unspeakable abuse. Behind closed doors, his sociopathic mother wielded control with cruelty, manipulation, and terror, masking it all with charm to the outside world.
