In this reflective and values-driven episode of the Making Ripples podcast, host Shelly Wood is joined by Animal Training Academy founder Ryan Cartlidge and companion animal trainer Belinda Young for a rich conversation about gratitude - one of ATA's core values - and the powerful role it plays in learning, community, and wellbeing. Together, Shelly, Ryan, and Belinda share personal stories, professional insights, and candid reflections on how intentional gratitude shapes the culture of Animal Training Academy and creates safer, more supportive spaces for human learners. From early morning thought loops and professional challenges to gratitude journals, team rituals, and community moderation, this conversation explores gratitude not as "toxic positivity," but as a genuine, practiced skill. Throughout the episode, we explore: ✅ Why gratitude was intentionally chosen as a core value of Animal Training Academy ✅ Gratitude as a learnable skill that strengthens resilience and self-compassion ✅ Parallels between effective animal training and supporting human learners ✅ How gratitude reinforces bravery, vulnerability, and risk-taking in learning spaces ✅ The ripple effects of modeling gratitude within and beyond ATA ✅ Why safe communities matter for growth, feedback, and lifelong learning This episode is a heartfelt exploration of what it means to practice gratitude with authenticity, and how doing so can transform not only how we train animals, but how we support people, build communities, and show up for one another. It's a reminder that when we intentionally reinforce courage, curiosity, and kindness, the ripples extend far beyond the moment.

The scariest clown to ever appear on screen drives a storyline involving a fictional tribe in Maine. “IT: Welcome to Derry” uses horror writer Stephen King's 1986 novel as a jumping off point. The hit HBO Max miniseries provides a new Native American theme to the plot with some veteran Native talent in front of and behind the camara. It is one of the notable projects from 2025, a list that also includes Sterlin Harjo's “The Lowdown”, the TIFF Best Canadian Feature winner, “Uiksaringitara,” and SXSW Documentary Feature Special Jury Award winner, “Remaining Native.” We'll recall some of the best film and TV projects from the year and see what's in store for 2026.

Nearly a year after the Sims family triple homicide, Tallahassee, Florida was struck with another heinous set of crimes. Two teenage girls were found brutally beaten, stabbed, and shot in a wooded area near Blue Sink. Unlike the murders of the Sims family, police had a viable suspect for the double homicide near the remote swimming hole. The question that haunted the community was impossible to ignore: were these crimes connected—or was Tallahassee facing a second, unrelated nightmare?

Wolfie dissects terrible home defeat to Everton in our last game of the year! ⚽Football Prizes⚽ Win Free Forest Shirt!: https://footballprizes.co.uk/club-competitions/nottingham-forest/ The final game of 2025 has ended in absolute misery at the City Ground. After showing so much heart against Manchester City just days ago, Nottingham Forest served up a gutless performance in a 0-2 defeat to a threadbare Everton side. Wolfie gives his immediate post-match thoughts on how the Reds managed to look so toothless against an opponent missing half their starting XI. To go from pushing the champions to the limit to being comfortably brushed aside by James Garner and Thierno Barry is a massive wake-up call, leaving us just four points above the relegation zone as we head into a brutal January schedule. The tactical approach from Sean Dyche is under heavy fire tonight, specifically the bizarre reliance on "route one" football that saw Forest pump 52 crosses into the box with almost zero reward. Wolfie dissects the naivety of the game plan and the strange substitutions that seemed to sap the life out of the team rather than sparking a comeback. This result is a bitter pill to swallow for the Forest faithful, especially given the "unchanged" feel from the Man City high. We want to hear from you in the comments: what was the turning point tonight? Was it the lack of a "Plan B," or are the injuries to key men like Yates and Wood finally catching up with us? It's time to be honest about where this team is heading as the transfer window opens. Share your player ratings and your verdict on Dyche's future below Learn more about your ad choices.

What if 70% of cognitive decline is optional — and you've been told the wrong story about aging? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Tommy Wood — neuroscientist, performance researcher, and author of The Stimulated Mind — to dismantle the myth that brain decline is inevitable. Dr. Wood reveals why most people are treating their brains like trucks when they should be treating them like Formula One cars — and how that mindset shift changes everything. We unpack the truth about cognitive function: it doesn't have to decline. Studies show that for most people, brain performance can stay stable from your 50s into your 80s and beyond. But here's what no one is saying: the average decline we see is driven by a minority of people who experience severe deterioration — not the majority. That means the trajectory you're on is largely within your control. Dr. Wood breaks down his 3S Model for Brain Health — Stimulus, Supply, and Support — a framework that simplifies the overwhelming noise around brain optimization. We discuss why retirement accelerates cognitive decline by 40%, how resistance training protects white matter and executive function, why being unkind to yourself creates chronic inflammation that accelerates dementia risk, and the shocking role of allostatic load in brain aging. This conversation will change how you think about your brain. It's not about doing 40 things perfectly. It's about understanding the core mechanisms — and making strategic changes that shift the entire system in your favor. About the guest: Dr. Tommy Wood is a neuroscientist, performance researcher, and author of The Stimulated Mind. He holds a PhD in physiology and neuroscience from the University of Cambridge and an MD from the University of Oslo. Dr. Wood has worked with Formula One drivers, elite athletes, and high performers across industries to optimize brain health and cognitive longevity. His work focuses on translating cutting-edge neuroscience into actionable strategies for peak performance and dementia prevention. *** Reduce your risk of Alzheimer's with my science-backed protocol for women 30+: https://go.neuroathletics.com.au/brain-code-yt Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.

With a history spanning 2,000 years and still playing a vital role in global commerce, the oak barrel, as correspondent Bill Whitaker discovers, is much more than just a container. Barrels are a vital ingredient, especially in the production of Bourbon whiskey – giving it all of its distinctive color and much of its taste. Whitaker takes us inside the largest maker of wooden barrels to glimpse the magic and mystique of this essential tradition. International crime groups are finding new, sophisticated ways to infiltrate the global supply chain online, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars of goods per year. Correspondent Sharyn Alfonsi reports on the growing threat of cargo theft and how 24,000 bottles of Guy Fieri's tequila vanished on their way to the warehouse. Mezcal is having its moment. This handcrafted Mexican spirit, made from agave, has seen exponential growth in popularity and production. Correspondent Cecilia Vega travels to Oaxaca's countryside and meets the mezcaleros laboring to quench the world's thirst for mezcal.

Can Forest move away from the relegation zone and get a win against Dyche's old team? Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ It is a massive midweek clash at the City Ground as Nottingham Forest welcome Everton for a high-stakes Premier League encounter. After a heartbreaking and controversial 1-2 defeat to Manchester City, the big question is: can the Reds channel that frustration into a winning performance? Despite the loss, the display against the champions was arguably our best under Sean Dyche, and a repeat of that grit and quality is exactly what's needed to secure three points and pull us further away from the relegation zone. Sitting in 17th, this is a "six-pointer" that could define our momentum heading into the New Year. Wolfie is in the hot seat to dissect the potential starting XI and the latest team news coming out of the Forest camp. With Ibrahim Sangaré away at AFCON and Ryan Yates a major doubt, will we see an unchanged midfield from the City game, or is it finally time for Bakwa to get his chance from the start? We also look at the fitness of Chris Wood and whether Dyche will stick with Igor Jesus to lead the line after his tireless work rate last time out. Getting the lineup right is crucial, especially against an Everton side that looks solid under David Moyes and already beat us 3-0 just a few weeks ago at their new stadium. This match carries extra weight for the gaffer, as Sean Dyche faces his former club once again. After the miserable 3-0 defeat on Merseyside in early December, there is a huge element of "revenge" in the air at the City Ground. We need the fans to be the 12th man and ensure the atmosphere is hostile from the first whistle to the last. Jump into the comments and let us know your score predictions—can we get the win we desperately need, or will the Toffees do the double over us? #nffc #everton #nottinghamforest Learn more about your ad choices.

Interior designers have a bad rep on building sites for being demanding, difficult and dis-organised, but is this fair? In their drive for perfection, are interior designers their own worst enemy? Do designers efficiently provide the information needed by builders, or do contractors sometimes wilfully misunderstand their design intentions? What can designers and contractors do to make each other's lives easier? In this episode, Jeff and Susie are joined by renowned interior designer Joanna Wood, Founder of Joanna Wood Interiors and Paul Fitzgerald, Founder and Managing Director of Hawksmoor Construction to answer these questions and more.   This episode was recorded as part of the Design Talks programme at Decorex 2025. Thanks to Decorex and to our episode partners, Sofas & Stuff for their support.  Chapters (00:00:00) - Interior Designers: Difficult, Diva and Irrit(00:01:01) - Interior Design and Construction(00:01:48) - Both of the presenters start off with a brief introduction(00:03:22) - Do Interior Designers Have a Bad Reputation Among Contractors?(00:05:06) - Are Interior Designers Accused of Neglect?(00:05:54) - Do Interior Designers Have Prejudices About Their Jobs?(00:06:40) - Are Interior Designers Bad For Contractors?(00:11:02) - Projects and Construction Contractors(00:13:09) - Tender Process(00:16:41) - The quality of the Tender Pack(00:19:05) - Choosing a contractor(00:23:57) - Interior Designers: Do You Need a Contractor?(00:26:18) - Paul, have you ever refused to work with an interior designer on(00:28:26) - Paul and Joe: The Contractor Relationship(00:31:24) - How often do you need to go to site on a project?(00:32:59) - What's your biggest bugbear?(00:37:12) - Interiors Design: When Problems Occur, Do Designers Let(00:38:26) - What's the funniest, maddest thing a designer's(00:40:14) - The Worst Contractor Ever Do(00:42:26) - Inside The Interior Design Business Podcast

Colorado, 1880. Numa época em que o sol castiga a pele, o revólver fala mais alto que a lei, e o destino é decidido no rolar dos dados, todos os caminhos levam à pequena Widow Wood. Lar de riquezas valiosas e perigos ainda mais fumegantes, a cidade se equilibra sobre uma linha tão frágil quanto mortal, onde progresso e cobiça caminham lado a lado. E a ambição, como qualquer pistoleiro experiente sabe, pode ser mais traiçoeira que uma serpente no deserto. É exatamente nesse limiar entre o que é certo e o que é justo que nossos novos aventureiros seguem rastros de ódio fortes demais para serem esquecidos.

In this episode, Brian welcomes John from Kansas for a deep and personal conversation about his journey into the world of Sasquatch research.What began as childhood fascination sparked by the iconic Patterson–Gimlin film evolved into a serious pursuit influenced by modern-day researchers and firsthand experiences.John shares the details of his first encounter—a startling daytime sighting in Missouri where a mysterious creature appeared to parallel his group's movements.He also discusses the compelling evidence he's documented over time, including complex tree structures, recorded wood knocks, unexplained vocalizations, and ongoing field investigations both locally and beyond.The discussion goes beyond sightings and evidence, diving into the emotional weight of cryptid research, the internal struggle between skepticism and belief, and how personal experiences can fundamentally reshape one's understanding of the unknown.Get Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteSupport Our SponsorsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.

In this special Christmas Day edition, Mike gives the gift of Roy Wood Jr., a comedian who embodies the "profundities in punchlines" ethos. Wood joins to discuss his CNN show Have I Got News for You, his upbringing as the son of a pioneering radio journalist, and the central thesis of his comedy: that in a fractured world, people prioritize dopamine over truth. They debate whether political comedy has devolved into mere applause lines, why comedians are the new op-ed writers, and the delicate art of crafting a joke about police reform that actually lands with everyone. Plus, Mike explains why you need a "Christmas Eve" song if you want your novelty hit to last.

In this episode, Kamini Wood explores "hidden burnout," a profound form of exhaustion that occurs when individuals function at a high level on the outside while struggling with emotional pain on the inside. Unlike traditional burnout caused by heavy workloads, this invisible overwhelm stems from carrying the cumulative weight of grief, anxiety, or major life transitions while still meeting the relentless expectations of adulthood. Wood discusses how high achievers often mask this depletion, leading to physical symptoms like chronic fatigue and tension as the nervous system works overtime to bridge the gap between internal reality and external performance. Listeners are invited to trade shame for self-compassion and are provided with practical "micro-moments" of self-support—such as emotional naming and lowering perfectionist bars—to begin moving from mere survival toward genuine flourishing.

We're hot on the case of the Festival of Wood and Barrel-Aged Beers 2025's best medal recipients (that we have access to), and we'll solve the mystery of whether or not the gold medal winner in this bunch will actually top our rankings. For this year's roundup of decorated beers, we run the Specialty/Experimental category and throw in a bonus beefy adjunct stout for fun. But also, we're wondering what we can learn from the Lyric Opera Detectives to become Dicks at FoBAB; we run through all sorts of FoBAB By-The-Numbers breakdowns from this year' results; we recap some Fantasy FoBAB results; and we're angling hard for our chance to judge certain FoBAB categories next year.  Beers Reviewed Lakefront Brewery - Brandy Barrel-Aged Pumpkin Imperial Ale [Bronze in Specialty/Expermental] Cruz Blanca Brewery - La Dama Catrina (Barleywine aged in bourbon barrels w/ Mexican cocoa, ancho chiles, Mexican vanilla, and canela) [Silver in Specialty/Experimenta] Black Horizon Brewing - From Earth to You (Gin barrel-aged Mexican lager w/ hibiscus, rosehips, and orange peel) [Gold in Specialty/Experimental] Old Irving Brewing - Barrel-Aged Champurrado Coffee Krampus (Bourbon barrel-aged Imperial stout w/ vanilla, cocoa nibs, Saigon cinnamon, Hexe coffee, and chilis) [Bronze in Specialty Strong Porter/Stout]

*Note to the listeners*- For the most pleasurable listening experience, lube up with our January 2024 episode covering Sarah Drew's A Cowboy Christmas Romance before you tune in. — We're returning to the 50 Shades of garbage dump soon, but in light of this festive season, SITC all-star guest star, Cecilia Conti, joins Torie to incinerate the most recent(ish) installment of sugar & spice from Limetime™'s own formula-disrupting vixen, Sarah Drew.  Her Cowboy-themed roll in the hay, A Cowboy Christmas Romance, made history as the first Lifetime™ holiday film to feature a “sex scene.” Sarah Drew is back with her sophomore feature that puts the WOOD in woodworking: A CARPENTER CHRISTMAS ROMANCE (2024).   This explicitly My So Called Life-coded narrative follows nerdy(ish) romantasy writer Andrea back to her sort-of hometown, Wildwood, for an unplugged Christmas stay due to a scandalous leak of the final book in her stupid series. To her surprise, she reconnects with Seth, her old, Jordan Catelano-esque but née jock crush, Seth. Complications arise with the presence of Seth's tenant, Aiko, and her cloying children. Is Seth still a f**kboi or is he a nice guy now?

Three bangs. Wood splintering. A three-year-old whispering, “Dad, someone's at the door.” That's the moment everything changes for Alex, a detention officer who thought he understood danger until it crossed his threshold at 10:15 a.m. Two recently released inmates, a pregnant wife, a boxed duty pistol just out of reach, and a living room turned battlefield. What follows is a raw, step-by-step account of survival, the click of a misfire, and the long tail of fear that lingers in a child's bedtime questions.To watch this episode, click here: https://youtu.be/npcojaSZ4GwWe pull back the curtain on the world Alex knows best: county jails. He explains why jails can feel more combustible than prisons, how gangs recruit with small favors, and why protective custody isn't just for “chomos” but for dropouts, snitches, and high-profile cases. You'll hear how COVID quarantines frayed minds in days, how respect beats bravado on the tiers, and how a soup can turn into a debt you pay with your fists. We get specific about contraband pipelines—from legal paperwork and compromised staff to “amenities” turned weapons—and the strange calculus of taxpayer-funded tablets that doubled as clubs and shanks.This is a story about systems and choices—the design of custody, the incentives that drive behavior inside, and the vigilance required outside. If you care about criminal justice, officer safety, home defense, or how small policy decisions ripple into the real world, you'll find hard truths and practical takeaways here.

Series" Good News and Great Joy"Winter 2025Season 10Episode 5

The morning of January 22, 1879, dawned with a deceptive, stillness across Zululand masking the fact that over 45,000 men were in motion across a 200 kilometer front, each group operating in a vacuum of information that would, by sunset, shatter the British Victorian ego. At the coast, Colonel Charles Pearson's Column No. 1 represented the textbook invasion. His force was a heavy, industrial machine led by the 3rd Foot regiment, the Buffs, along with the 99th Regiment, and the Naval Brigade dragging their heavy Gatling guns and artillery. By 5:00 AM, the 5000 strong column was already a dusty serpent stretching more than 8 kilometers back toward the Tugela River. Pearson's scouts were a mix of the Natal Native Contingent and European volunteers who pushed through the tall grass toward the Nyezane River. They were being observed on Wombane mountain by the uDududu, iMbube, and isigQu regiments - 6,000 warriors under the command of Godide kaNdlela. Wombande mountain lay on the wagon trail between Gingingdlovu on the coastal flats, and Eshowe where Pearson was hoping to setup a main base at the abandoned Norwegian mission station before pushing on to ONdini and Cetshwayo's HQ. The Zulu plan was traditional, await in complete stillness on the high-ground then sweep in for a surprise ambush. Pearson's advance guard crossed the Nyezane River and crossed over at 7.30am. Thick bush grew all around, the cavalry was reconnoitering and saw nothing. Vedettes, or mounted guards, were placed to keep an eye out for the Zulu army. Pearson's main party reached the knoll selected for the first stop at around 8am, and the men began to outspan their oxen for a late breakfast. As the laager was being formed up, a party of the Natal Native Contingent who scouted ahead attracted fire from Zulu snipers. The latest Zulu tactic which would also be repeated at Isandlwana, Rorke's Drift, and as Evelyn Wood would report later from Hlobane mountain - a combination of heavy fire from high ground in support of a surging attack by warriors on foot. The road was a now completely commanded by Godide, along with the all important high ground and as his snipers fired non-stop, the Zulu horns swept towards the exposed British column. Naval officer Midshipman Lewis Coker had the honor of commanding the first Gatling gun to be used in combat by British troops. Pearson recognized the value of this machine gun and he ordered Coker to take up a position opposite the advancing Zulu. Coker fired off 300 rounds, and the Zulu attack shuddered and halted — then the sound of the rockets fiendishly shrieking led to a general withdrawal. Hart continued advancing on the retreating Zulu when one of the older warriors, his oiled head ring glistening in the morning sun, stopped and turned, fell to one knee in a classic rifleman's position, took careful aim and fired — but missed. Then he bolted away. Hart noted the conventional approach this older warrior had taken. He'd been trained in the finer arts of fire and movement. 200 kilometers to the north of Pearson near the modern town of Vryheid, Colonel Evelyn Wood who led the left column of the British triple column invasion, was preparing for his morning assault atop the Zungwini Mountain. Wood was by far the most experienced and therefore pragmatic of the British commanders. He had the good fortune of commanding "Flying Column," the vast majority of his men were mounted. The force was centered on the 13th and 90th Light Infantry and the formidable Frontier Light Horse under Redvers Buller. It was in the centre of the three pronged British attack where the day of skop, skiet and donner would change history. This was at the foot of the Sphinx-like crag of Isandlwana where Chelmsford's Second Column hunkered down.

Multimedia artist, candle-maker, dancer, and sorceress Sarah Jezebel Wood joins the pod for a special solstice episode on the yuletide season. Sarah beautifully outlines some of the key motifs of the death and rebirth of the sun's light and the spirits, oaths, and magical practices that accompany it. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of Finnish folklore, she introduces us to the mischievous world of the tonttu and nisse, as well as even more varied forms of ancestral spirits of house, home, hearth, and sauna, and opens the floor to a rich cross-cultural discussion of land pacts, ambient dead, and negotiations within multivalent spiritual communities. See more of Sarah's work here:https://linktr.ee/sarahjezebelhttps://sarahjezebelwood.com/https://loviartes.com/https://www.instagram.com/sarahjezebelhttps://www.instagram.com/loviartesSupport us on patreon.com/TheFrightfulHowls .

Este título insólito corresponde, simplemente, a la duración de la pieza, es decir, 4 minutos y 33 segundos. Lo especial de esta composición es que sus tres movimientos no contienen ninguna nota, aparte de la anotación «Tácet»: silencio.El estreno de 4'33" tuvo lugar el 29 de agosto del año 1952 en Wood stock (Nueva York), y constituyó un sonado escándalo. En efecto: el joven pianista David Tudor entró en escena, saludó al público, se instaló ante el piano de cola, lo abrió, esperó los 4 minutos y 33 segundos y lo volvió a cerrar, marcando así el fin de la actuación. Entretanto, nada. Silencio. Un silencio solo interrumpido por las toses nerviosas de los espectadores... hasta que se dieron cuenta de que no había nada más que esperar y abandonaron la sala protestando, frustrados y enfurecidos.Lo más chocante es que, gracias a esa «creación», John Cage se hizo mundialmente famoso, fue solicitado para interpretarla en numerosas ocasiones y hasta para grabarla en discos y CD ¡con diferentes instrumentos!!¿Locura? ¿Extravagancia? ¿Genialidad? ¿Burla? Ha habido reacciones para todos los gustos. No es mi intención aquí ni juzgar al artista ni a sus fans, ni discutir sobre las numerosas virtudes del silencio. Mis reflexiones van en otra dirección: hay silencios que pueden ser bienhechores, muy valiosos y hasta caros, pero hay otros muy poco recomendables, porque no aportan nada bueno.Jesús instó a sus discípulos a compartir el mensaje que él había proclamado a costa de su propia vida: el evangelio no debe ser callado bajo ningún pretexto. Tiene que ser proclamado a todo mundo para que llegue a toda la humanidad y cumpla su misión, antes de que sea demasiado tarde.El apóstol Pablo siente tan a pecho esa responsabilidad, que exclama: «¡Ay de mí, si no anuncio el evangelio!» (1 Cor. 9: 16). Y exhorta al joven Timoteo en estos términos: «Te suplico encarecidamente [...] que prediques la palabra y que instes a tiempo y fuera de tiempo. Redarguye, reprende, exhorta con toda paciencia y doctrina [...]. Cumple tu ministerio» (2 Tim. 4: 1-5).Cuando la historia parece avanzar a ciegas por derroteros inciertos, no es tiempo de silenciar que Jesús ha prometido volver. Sería un silencio demasiado caro. El mundo necesita más que nunca un mensaje de cordura, de solidaridad y de esperanza.Inspírame, Señor, para que sepa romper el silencio cuando convenga. 

Much of what we talk about on Better Brain Fitness resolves around the demand-driven decline model we published. Well...a new study just published in Nature Communications gave that model the best test to date, and the results are pretty darn exciting. So of course we had to do an episode about it! The study looks at the relationship between brain aging and creative activities like music, dance, art, and video gaming. Tommy walks through the study and explains why this matters for anyone thinking about their long-term cognitive health. What You'll Learn: A more sensitive way to measure brain aging than structural scans The connection between music, dance, art, and video gaming on brain aging The effect of 30 hours of video gaming on brain aging, the kinds of video games that have the greatest impact (and why traditional "brain games" haven't been as successful) What this research tells us about whether cognitive decline is reversible The dose-response relationship between complex activities and brain health   To submit a question for us to answer on the podcast, go to brainjo.academy/question.

Where has Santa Claus gone?Once upon a time there was Santa Claus's Village — but Santa Claus wasn't there. He had been missing for days and days… actually for months. Who would prepare and deliver gifts to the children as they did every year?That part of the North Pole which was usually very busy had become strangely silent — not an Elf could be seen around, no sounds of bells, the sleighs were covered in snow and all the reindeer dozed about confused.If you looked into his house you couldn't see a trace of life. The fireplace cold, the rocking chair covered in cobwebs, an empty cup on the wooden table and a candle stub burnt out long ago.Many were the rumours that had spread about Santa Claus's absence. Some said he was on another planet in a far, far away galaxy, some on the Moon, some on the vast oceans — and someone even said he had opened a bakery in Buenos Aires.The mystery was thick. Nobody could make sense of it and everything was silent and still.Meanwhile, many miles away, in the Southern Seas, a group of seagulls who spent their days fluttering above the bay spotted a small sailing boat in the distance. There was only one sailor on board who was hoisting the main sail up the creaking mast.The eldest seagull couldn't believe his eyes. He did a couple of acrobatics in the air, pulled out his spyglass, looked more carefully and said: "But I know him! That sailor comes from distant lands!"Turning to the other seagulls he told them: "One day, during one of my long journeys, I lost my way and found myself on the frozen rooftops of a village at the North Pole. I landed right on the house of that long-bearded man you see on the boat. He heard me calling for help, came to fetch me, fed me and told me about his work. I think this meeting has something magical about it. Our next adventure is about to begin."Gliding down, they headed towards the boat and all landed on the bow. The seagull and the sailor greeted each other like old friends.Shortly after, a group of dolphins arrived near the sailing boat, curious. They swam in circles around the boat, jumping out of the water.The youngest dolphin noticed something strange. "Look! Wood shavings are coming out of the hold and floating! And you can see little lights below deck."The long-bearded sailor smiled. "Come," he said in a warm voice, "I'll show you what I've done all these months."He opened the hatch to the hold and inside, by the light of two swaying lanterns, you could see a floating workshop full of wonders. With a sharp plane he had worked pieces of wood recovered from the sea, transforming them into toys — and he had done the same with shells, coconuts, cork stoppers, glass bottles, starfish and golden threads that had arrived from who knows where."I travelled to learn new ways of bringing joy," the sailor explained. "But there's so much work to do and Christmas is coming. Would you help me finish?"And so they all set to work together. The dolphins brought special shells from the bottom of the sea. The seagulls gathered coloured feathers. The objects transformed into gifts were placed in large canvas sacks.The days passed quickly.On the first of December the captain, wearing his red warm hat with his pipe in his mouth, looked at the starry sky and said: "It's time to leave."The dolphins lifted the sailing boat until it rose above the waves. The sails filled with wind and it took flight, whilst the flock of seagulls guided it through the clouds following dreams. Together they continued the journey heading north, flying through the endless blue.Night fell quickly and in the sky full of stars one shone brighter than all the others. It was the North Star which with its light accompanied the sailing boat's descent to earth.By magic, as it approached the village, the sailing boat transformed into a sleigh loaded with gifts. The presents built in the hold arrived in the workshop to be delivered together with all the other parcels.When it landed on the roof of his house, a tinkling of bells was heard in the distance. The Elves looked out of their doors and shouted: "It's him! It's him! It's Santa Claus! He's back!"The red-nosed reindeer woke up suddenly and began polishing the sleighs, decorating them with bows and coloured pine cones.Life in the village awakened all at once. The tree branches shook as if they were being tickled. A group of penguins, who had arrived at the North Pole to lend a hand, sliding on the ice sheets at great speed, ended up inside snowdrifts and came out like bouncing balls.“You are so funny! We'll hang you on the Christmas tree as decorations!" the village animals shouted.But the penguins, freeing themselves from the snow, ran towards Santa Claus's house to help with the preparations.In the village absolutely everyone got moving. The reindeer rushed to the Post Office and filled the sacks with letters, then carried them to the workshop. The Elves with the help of the penguins were ready for work.That morning, when the bells rang out in celebration, foxes, squirrels, hares and bears came running from every corner of the forest to celebrate Santa Claus's return. There was so much to do for the joy of all the children in the world.The air smelt of fir trees and homemade biscuits. The Christmas trees sparkled with icicles like stars. The animals chased each other happily with their noses turned upwards.The preparations began in earnest. Throughout the month of December they worked together — saws that sang, hammers that played, coloured paper that flew. Santa Claus told stories of his journey whilst he hammered and sanded.And when the 24th of December arrived, everything was ready. The presents were loaded onto the sleigh and Santa Claus set off on his most important journey.The seagulls flew away towards new horizons, leaving their footprints on the snowy rooftops.Since that Christmas it is said that Santa Claus never left the North Pole again."What if it was only a tale? Is it true, or not? The final decision is yours!" — Written by Lucia & Marco CiappelliFor the Italian version and many more stories to read and listen to: https://www.storiesottolestelle.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What really keeps the brain sharp as we age — and what quietly puts it at risk?In this episode of the Ageless Athlete Podcast, host Kush Khandelwal speaks with Dr. Tommy Wood, neuroscientist, physician, and strength athlete, about the science of cognitive reserve and why long-term brain health depends on challenge, learning, and effort — not comfort or flow.Flow states feel rewarding, but as Dr. Wood explains, they don't create the kind of stimulus the brain needs to adapt over decades. Instead, the brain thrives when it's pushed to learn new skills, navigate uncertainty, and stay engaged through physical movement, mental effort, and diversified identity.This conversation connects neuroscience, exercise science, and psychology in a practical, accessible way — especially for adults who care about aging well, staying mentally sharp, and maintaining performance into midlife and beyond.

What if the way you close this year determines how powerfully you step into the next one? As we approach the end of a deeply transformative cycle, this episode invites you to pause before rushing ahead. The energy of the Wood Snake has been subtle but intense—marked by shedding, introspection, and hard-earned wisdom—and ignoring that process now can have consequences later. With faster, more volatile energy on the horizon, this conversation explores why unresolved patterns—energetic, emotional, relational, or strategic—don't disappear just because the calendar turns. Instead of pushing forward prematurely, you'll hear why this moment is meant for intentional closure, and how slowing down now can create real momentum when things begin to accelerate. Nicole shares the perspective she's personally using to close out the year with clarity, highlighting the kinds of habits, stories, and dynamics that tend to surface during this phase. From internal beliefs to physical environments and relationships, the episode centers on discernment—what's ready to be released, what needs to be addressed, and what deserves to move forward with you. Grounding yet forward-focused, this episode is designed to help you transition consciously rather than reactively. If this year challenged you, reshaped you, or forced you to confront uncomfortable truths, this conversation offers a way to integrate those lessons—so you enter the next chapter prepared, steady, and ready to move.

What would you do if everything you thought you knew about your father turned out to be wrong? What if his silence, his distance, his strange obsession with the mountains wasn't coldness at all, but something else entirely? What if he'd been guarding a secret so profound, so impossible, that it had consumed his entire life? That's the question facing Marcus Stone as he pulls up to a cabin he hasn't entered in twenty-three years. His father is dead. The funeral has already happened, and Marcus wasn't there. Twenty-three years of silence between them, hardened into something neither could break. And now it's too late.Or is it? Because Robert Stone left something behind. A trunk in the cellar. A note in his father's handwriting that speaks of burdens and secrets and an ancestor named Captain Elijah Stone.A note that hints at something that's been passed down through generations, waiting for someone brave enough to finally bring it into the light. What Marcus finds in that cellar will change everything he thinks he knows about his family, about history, and about what really walks in the deep places of the American wilderness. Seven leather-bound journals. Letters tied with twine that's gone black with age. A stone pendant carved with symbols that don't match any language Marcus has ever seen. And the words of a man who died two hundred years ago, preserved in ink that has faded from black to brown but remains perfectly legible.March fifteenth, seventeen ninety-nine.Captain Elijah Stone. Revolutionary War veteran. A man haunted by stories he heard during the brutal winter at Valley Forge. Stories told by Oneida scouts around dying fires. Stories of the elder brothers. The ones who were here before us. The ones who watch from the shadows of ancient forests.This is the beginning of an expedition into the unknown. Nine men riding west from Richmond, following legends and whispers toward something that might not exist. A hot-tempered Scottish soldier carrying grief like a loaded weapon. A Kentucky frontiersman who's been waiting twenty years for someone to go looking. A Philadelphia naturalist convinced that science can explain anything. A former minister searching for proof of God in a world that suddenly seems random and cruel.And leading them all, a captain who knows, somehow, that not all of them will return.The signs begin almost immediately. Footprints eighteen inches long, pressed deep into mud by something that weighs five hundred pounds. Wood knocking in the darkness, three sharp strikes echoing through the trees. Food stolen from bundles hung fifteen feet in the air. Structures built with purpose and intention, a language in the landscape that speaks of intelligence, of planning, of something that thinks. They know we're here, the frontiersman says. They've known since we crossed into the mountains. And then comes the story that changes everything. A blizzard twenty years ago. A young trapper who thought he was going to die. And something that carried him through the storm, examined him in a dark cave, and made a decision. They were deciding what to do with me.What walks in those mountains? What has been watching humanity since before we learned to walk upright? And what did Robert Stone spend his entire life guarding? The answers are waiting in the pages of those journals.
