Yes. I treated “since 20260727” as July 28 through August 24, 2026, and looked especially for stories that could give you an OMMW-style human-interest hook that can grow into a theme, rather than simply the biggest hard-news headlines.
Area
Research
Possible other
Canada - i - human interest or world event
Porch geese are back. Decorative concrete/plastic geese that were popular decades ago are making a comeback, including in Regina, with owners dressing them and sharing the fun online. Aug. 10. Could become a theme about old things becoming new again / what we put on display / flocking together.
“Big Auntie” earring competitions at First Nations Treaty Days — oversized earrings, aunties, family identity and cultural celebration. Aug. 19. Very colourful, personable story.
Canada - ii - human interest or world event
Canada's biggest icebreaker reached the North Pole. CCGS Louis S. St-Laurent arrived there Aug. 16 while gathering Arctic mapping and continental-shelf data. Theme possibilities: breaking through / finding the boundary / true north / going where there is no road.
An Okanagan winery is trying to reunite a lost stuffed animal with its owner — potentially a very gentle lost-and-found theme.
US - i - human interest or world event
54 cats rescued from an abandoned sailboat in Tacoma, Washington. Police initially removed about 30, kept hearing cats behind panels, returned and found many more; one citizen actually swam out to save a cat that fell into the water. Aug. 6–11. Excellent theme potential: there's always one more / hearing the ones you cannot see / rescue.
150+ box turtles apparently abandoned near New Jersey's Rahway River, with residents continuing to find dehydrated stragglers weeks later.
US - ii - human interest or world event
Police called about a “kangaroo or monkey” in a Texas shopping centre discovered a kinkajou. It was hot and thirsty and officers safely captured it while authorities searched for its owner. Aug. 21. Theme: mistaken identity / what exactly are we looking at? / out of place.
Eight-foot Burmese python under a New Jersey shed — rescuers had to remove floorboards; an X-ray showed it had eaten an opossum. Aug. 6.
Latin - human interest or world event
30 lions and tigers finally leaving a notorious shuttered Argentine zoo. The animals had spent years in cramped concrete cages; they are being transported to sanctuaries in South Africa and Colorado in one of the world's largest captive-big-cat relocations. Aug. 14. Theme: from cage to sanctuary / setting captives free / a long-awaited journey.
Latin music stars including Marc Anthony, Chayanne and Luis Fonsi united for earthquake-relief fundraising for Venezuela and Colombia.
Antarctic - human interest or world event
Extraordinary midwinter Antarctic rescue. Australia sent an A319 into complete Antarctic darkness to medically evacuate a U.S. expeditioner from McMurdo Station. Temperatures fell to −43°C and weather was deteriorating. July 31 operation; announced Aug. 7. Theme: going into the darkness for one person / rescue regardless of distance.
New international SYNCHRONY project launched Aug. 1, joining 27 institutions to better understand rapid changes in Antarctica and the Southern Ocean.
African - human interest or world event
Ketch, an unusually old wild black rhino, dies naturally in Kenya after 35+ years. He had survived for decades in Tsavo West despite being partly blind in one eye — a remarkable lifespan for a critically endangered animal. Found Aug. 14. Theme: finishing the course / living with limitations / longevity and resilience.
308 kidnapped Nigerians rescued in a single day, including women and children who had spent months in captivity. A much heavier story, but exceptionally strong if the episode theme becomes freedom / rescue / coming home.
European - human interest or world event
Scotland's Burryman. Every August a man is covered head-to-toe with thousands of sticky burdock burrs and walks about seven miles around South Queensferry, stopping along the route and drinking whisky through a straw. The tradition dates back centuries; this year's Burryman was handing over the role after 15 years. Theme: what sticks to us / carrying tradition / burrs and burdens.
European wildfires are setting off unexploded WWI/WWII bombs and mines that have lain dormant for decades. Very strong possible theme: things buried aren't necessarily gone.
Asian - human interest or world event
Qixi — China's traditional “Valentine's Day” is really about much more than romance. The Aug. 19 festival traces to the legend of the Weaver Girl and Cowherd and includes an old tradition in which women prayed for and demonstrated skillfulness in crafts. Theme: more than meets the eye / skill, faithfulness and waiting / once-a-year reunion.
Japan's extreme summer heat has become so exceptional that language and everyday routines are changing around it — part of a broader story about what “summer” now means around the world.
Oceania - human interest or world event
Sydney Marathon medal has the wrong landmark on it. Organizers acknowledged that the 2026 participation medal accidentally depicts Munich's Allianz Arena rather than a Sydney landmark. That's almost tailor-made for OMMW: right race, wrong place / details matter / what's on your medal? Aug. 23.
Australian Antarctic crews also provide a nice Oceania crossover: the Hobart-based team that flew the extremely difficult Antarctic winter rescue above.
For the kind of episodes you've been doing, I think five jump out immediately:
Sydney Marathon — wrong city on the medal. That's wonderfully simple, visual and thematic: “Right race, wrong destination?”
54 cats on a sailboat. A terrific story by itself, particularly the rescuers who kept hearing more cats they couldn't see.
The Antarctic rescue at −43°C. Strongest natural connection to a Christian rescue/grace motif: someone was valuable enough that people went into the darkness to get them.
The Scottish Burryman. The wordplay possibilities around things that stick, burdens and traditions are almost unlimited.
Texas kinkajou. Somebody reports a “kangaroo or monkey,” only to discover it is neither — excellent if the theme develops around identifying something correctly.
The porch geese may actually be the best light Canadian opener: peculiar, harmless, easy to photograph, and very much in the same human-interest territory as stone skipping and rockhounding from 26ag27.

here's the movie - please give me the transcript and summary - expanded understanding etc that you want to apply
I have the video, but I can’t reliably extract the spoken audio into a verbatim transcript in this environment. I don’t want to invent wording and present it as what Global News actually said.
What I can establish from the Global News report and your recording is the expanded understanding we should carry into the 26ah24 research:
Core idea: Instead of automatically throwing away something that breaks, people bring their broken possessions to a community gathering where volunteers help determine whether they can be repaired. The emphasis is not merely on getting free repair work—it is on recovering repair knowledge, extending the life of possessions, saving money, and reducing waste.
That makes the story considerably richer for your purposes than simply:
“People fix broken things for free.”
The interesting underlying ideas are:
Element
Why it matters
Repair rather than replace
Modern consumer culture often makes replacement the default response to something broken.
Volunteer expertise
People who know how things work give their time and knowledge to others.
Learning alongside the repairer
The knowledge can be transferred rather than remaining solely with an expert.
Something apparently useless becomes useful again
Probably the strongest thematic image for an episode.
Waste reduction
Repair keeps otherwise serviceable objects out of the landfill.
Saving money
Particularly relevant when replacing appliances and household goods is expensive.
Community
An individual's broken object becomes an opportunity for people to meet and help one another.
Value vs. condition
Something can be damaged without becoming worthless.
Knowing the maker/mechanism
To repair something properly, you need to understand how it was intended to work.
There's a very natural theological direction here that doesn't require forcing Christianity onto the news story.
The secular story asks:
When something is broken, do we discard it or repair it?
That gives you numerous avenues into Scripture: restoration, mending, rebuilding, reconciliation, usefulness after failure, God as maker, and people whom society may be tempted to regard as disposable.
There is even some wonderful language available around the word repair itself: repair café, state of repair, beyond repair, repair the breach, make repairs, mend, restore, rebuild.
One biblical phrase I'd put a large circle around during your “pray before speaking / scanning for themes” stage is Isaiah 58:12 — “repairer of the breach.” I wouldn't necessarily decide on it yet, but the Halifax story gives that expression an unusually concrete contemporary entry point.
So I would revise the first Canada entry in our research chart to something like:
Canada – i | Halifax Repair Café — volunteers help people repair broken household items for free rather than discard them; reducing waste, sharing practical knowledge and extending the useful life of possessions. Global News, Aug. 16, 2026. | Possible themes: repair rather than replace; beyond repair?; repairer of the breach; broken doesn't mean worthless; knowing how something was made helps you know how to mend it.
And I would currently rank this above the porch-geese story as the strongest Canadian possibility for 26ah24.

PDF [ note that video clip labels couch as douglas couch - customer identified as Youyou Lu - volunteers labelled as Nadia Gouda and daughter Nour Mohamed]
ok i think this is the transcript 00:00:02,260 --> 00:00:11,200 [Speaker 0] Repair Cafe takes place every 3 weeks at the Keshton Goodman Public Library. It's a free community event where broken things get a 2nd chance. 00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:23,740 [Speaker 1] We're a group of people who believe that it's better to repair stuff than to throw it away. A lot of the things that we purchase these days are really not built to be repairable. We believe that's, that's the wrong way to do things. 00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:37,100 [Speaker 0] Couch says they repair a wide variety of household things, like electronics, bikes, and fabrics. There's even someone helping upgrade Windows laptops to Linux. One customer was already dropping in for his 2nd visit. 00:00:37,100 --> 00:00:49,980 [Speaker 2] I really like this kind of initiative and also this come to public library to serve for the, for the people. And this very, you know, we know this place people, uh, converge to, you know, to enjoy the library, to have the social activities. 00:00:49,980 --> 00:01:04,500 [Speaker 0] Lu says, "We should support what they're doing and help them recruit more volunteers." Nadaya Gouda and her daughter, Noor Mohammed, plan to volunteer their own expertise. Gouda has a master's degree in electrical engineering and loves troubleshooting. 00:01:04,500 --> 00:01:21,660 [Speaker 3] I believe that learning, uh, is faster when you are helping, uh, and when you are, uh, checking others', uh, issues and trying to fix. And this is what I, uh, I always learn. So I love to be part of that, and I love to meet with people that who believe the same. 00:01:21,660 --> 00:01:25,070 [Speaker 0] Mohammed is studying electrical engineering at Dalhousie University. 00:01:25,070 --> 00:01:35,440 [Speaker 4] A lot of the expertise that I think I could bring would be 3D modeling or software, um, a- analyzing or, um, going into, like, exploring MacBook or Mac stuff. 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:41,560 [Speaker 0] Couch says the volunteers are also there to help people understand how things work and how you can repair them yourself. 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:52,900 [Speaker 1] If you're interested at all in kind of exploring the possibility of opening up the things that you own, that you bought, come on by and, uh, and we'll, we'll help you open it up. 00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:55,600 [Speaker 0] David Murdoch, Global News, Halifax.
Yes. The PDF confirms the transcript you pasted essentially word-for-word, including the timestamps.
And now that we have the actual transcript, I think my earlier interpretation needs one important adjustment: the strongest idea isn't simply “repair broken things rather than throw them away.” The story is also very strongly about people learning to repair things themselves.
Here is what the report actually establishes:
Time
What the story establishes
Potential 26ah24 significance
0:02
Halifax Repair Café meets every three weeks at the Keshen Goodman Public Library; it is free and gives broken things a “2nd chance.”
Second chances
0:11
Organizers explicitly believe repairing is better than throwing away. Many modern products aren't designed to be repaired, which they think is wrong.
Repair vs. discard; disposable culture
0:24
Electronics, bicycles and fabrics are repaired.
Not merely one specialized repair shop
0:29
Someone even helps move Windows laptops to Linux.
Repair can sometimes mean changing/adapting, not merely restoring
0:37
A returning participant likes that it happens at a public library where people already converge for learning/social activity.
Community around learning
0:50
The participant says the initiative deserves support and more volunteers.
People with abilities are needed
0:55
Nadaya Gouda and daughter Noor Mohammed intend to contribute their own expertise.
What can I contribute?
1:00
Gouda has a master's in electrical engineering and enjoys troubleshooting.
Knowledge becomes service
1:05
Gouda says she learns faster by helping and examining other people's problems and trying to fix them.
This is especially interesting: the helper learns too
1:22
Mohammed is studying electrical engineering at Dalhousie.
Another generation acquiring and sharing skills
1:25
She can contribute 3-D modelling, software analysis and Mac expertise.
Different people bring different abilities
1:35
Volunteers aren't merely repairing things—they help owners understand how things work and repair them themselves.
Probably the report's most important idea
1:42
Couch invites people to explore opening up the things they themselves own and says volunteers will help them do it.
Don't be afraid to look inside.
There are actually three stories nested inside this 1:56 report.
1. Broken doesn't necessarily mean finished.
Something has stopped working. Our culture makes it easy to conclude: throw it away and get another one. The Repair Café challenges that assumption.
That gives you broken → examined → understood → repaired → useful again.
That's much richer than simply recycling.
2. The expert doesn't just fix it for you.
This may be the feature I'd underline most heavily.
At 1:35, Murdoch says the volunteers help people “understand how things work and how you can repair them yourself.”
That's different from taking your toaster to somebody and coming back Tuesday.
The owner participates. Someone who understands the thing comes alongside someone who doesn't, opens it with them, helps them understand what's happening inside, and teaches them what to do.
That has enormous possibilities for an OMMW episode without needing to turn the Repair Café itself into a religious analogy.
3. Helping somebody else repair something changes the helper.
Gouda supplies the unexpected twist at 1:04. She essentially says that she learns faster when she's helping, looking at somebody else's problem and trying to fix it.
So knowledge doesn't simply travel:
expert → novice
It can work:
person with a problem ↔ person with knowledge
Both can leave knowing more than when they arrived.
I wouldn't settle prematurely on Isaiah 58:12. “Repairer of the breach” is attractive because of the word repair, but we shouldn't make the Scripture fit the news story merely because they share a word.
I'd scan several possibilities.
Restoration/usefulness: something damaged need not be discarded. That could take us toward God's restoration of people, but we'd want a Scripture that genuinely says that rather than constructing an analogy first.
Equipping rather than doing everything for somebody: this now strikes me as particularly promising. Ephesians 4:11–12 has leaders given to equip God's people for works of service. That's remarkably close to the distinction in this story between “I'll repair it for you” and “I'll help you understand it so you can do it.”
Different expertise serving a community: Gouda knows electrical engineering; Mohammed brings software/3-D modelling; others know bicycles, fabrics, electronics. That naturally puts 1 Corinthians 12 / Romans 12 into the scanning pile: different abilities contributing to a common good.
Learning through helping: Gouda's comment could take the episode somewhere less obvious. Sometimes we imagine ourselves as either the person who needs help or the person qualified to give it. She describes a situation in which helping someone else with their problem teaches her something too.
And then there's a phrase that isn't actually spoken in the report but that I think deserves a place in your brainstorming notes:
That's potentially an excellent 26ah24 question.
The Repair Café exists because people are too quick to conclude that an object isn't worth fixing.
But I'd be careful about going directly from broken toaster to broken person. People aren't appliances, and Christian theology shouldn't imply that people are disposable objects God tinkers with.
A subtler transition might be:
We live in an age when some things are deliberately manufactured so that when something goes wrong, opening them up and repairing them isn't even expected. But what happens when we begin carrying a throw-it-away mentality beyond our possessions?
Now you've potentially got something.
And there is one line from the report I'd probably preserve in your research notes almost exactly because it could become the hinge of the entire episode. At 0:11, organizer Couch says:
“We believe that it's better to repair stuff than to throw it away.”
That is much closer to the heart of the Global story than my earlier generic description—and it gives 26ah24 a very good question to pray and scan around:
What does God say is worth repairing rather than throwing away?

here's a related winnipeg story from august 17, 2026:

Stephen Kirk wants to give people a chance to fix items they’re not ready to let go of.
The Spence Neighbourhood Association staffer took notice when repair cafés started popping up around the world, and he decided to bring the idea to Winnipeg.
in-article advertisement
The café invites people to bring broken items like bikes, clothes and small kitchen appliances to the association’s headquarters to get free repairs by a team of skilled volunteers.
MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS
Stephen Kirk, environmental and open spaces coordinator for the Spence Neighbourhood Association, noticed repair cafés started popping up around the world, and decided to bring the idea to Winnipeg.
“Certainly in our neighbourhood, a lot of people’s motivation is economic, they would rather fix it than have to buy a new one,” said Kirk, the environmental and open spaces coordinator for the Spence Neighbourhood Association.
“Certainly in our neighbourhood, a lot of people’s motivation is economic…”
He said some people may not be able to afford taking the item to a professional to repair, while others may have sentimental connections or simply want to avoid throwing it in a landfill. It also allows people a chance to connect with others in the community.
“Just the events in themselves have a community aspect of getting out of your house and meeting your neighbours and meeting the volunteers that I think is also a benefit,” he said.
The café is open the second Wednesday of the month from 6:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. with about six “amazingly talented” volunteers on site with a variety of skills. Kirk said they see everything from old clothes to toasters, coffee machines and weed wackers and the team has about a 60 per cent success rate with repairing the items.
He said the response from the community has been positive, since it opened in February, and they see about 10 people come in each night it’s open.
Kirk saw the repair café trend emerge on social media, mainly in Europe and in other Canadian cities, like Toronto.
“We saw it happening elsewhere and thought it was a good idea, and when we realized we basically had everything we needed to get started we put the word out and it’s been going well ever since,” he said.
The initiative also meshed with the neighbourhood association’s goal of promoting sustainability for the community.
MIKAELA MACKENZIE / FREE PRESS
The repair café takes place at the Spence Neighborhood Association the second Wednesday of the month. There won't be any events held in August due to volunteers away on vacation. It is expected to resume in September.
“It really fits in with waste diversion and keeping stuff out of the landfill and promoting repair and reuse.”

“It really fits in with waste diversion and keeping stuff out of the landfill and promoting repair and reuse,” he said.
The café accepts donations and is working to open more regularly.
“If we can get the volunteers and equipment in order, then ideally it’d be nice if we could do it more often,” said Kirk.
He said many volunteers are away on vacation so they won’t be holding an event in August but will resume in September.
tiago.resko@freepress.mb.ca
Yes. This is an excellent companion to the Halifax Global News story because it shows that the Repair Café idea isn't merely an interesting story somewhere else in Canada—it is happening right in Winnipeg, and the Free Press gives us several dimensions that the 1:56 Global report didn't have.
The two stories reinforce one another but emphasize somewhat different things:
Halifax — Global News, Aug. 16
Winnipeg — Free Press, Aug. 17
Broken things get a “2nd chance”
People have things they're “not ready to let go of”
Better to repair than throw away
Economic need: replacing things costs money
Many products aren't built to be repairable
Some can't afford professional repair
Electronics, bikes, fabrics, computers
Clothes, toasters, coffee machines, weed whackers, etc.
Volunteers share specialized knowledge
About six skilled volunteers
Volunteers teach owners how things work
Community members meet neighbours and volunteers
Learning occurs through helping others
Sentimental attachment can motivate repair
Owners are encouraged to open their possessions and investigate them
60% repair success rate
Community gathering at a public library
About 10 visitors per evening
Halifax initiative
Winnipeg initiative operating since February 2026
Waste reduction
Repair, reuse and landfill diversion
Stephen Kirk gives at least four distinct reasons:
Economics — people would rather repair something than pay for a replacement, and some cannot afford professional repair.
Sentimental value — an object's monetary value isn't necessarily the same as its value to its owner. That's potentially very fertile territory for 26ah24.
Environmental stewardship — keeping usable objects out of landfills through repair and reuse.
Community — Kirk says an additional benefit is simply getting out of the house, meeting neighbours and meeting the volunteers.
That sentimental-value angle particularly changes my thinking about the theme.
An old possession may look worthless to me, but I don't know what it means to its owner.
That opens a much more interesting theological avenue than merely saying God repairs broken people: who determines what something is worth?
The Winnipeg volunteers successfully repair about 60% of what people bring them.
That means Repair Café presumably encounters both:
“We can fix this.”
and
“I'm sorry—we can't.”
That distinction could be enormously useful.
Human repairers have limits. Sometimes they lack the part, knowledge, equipment, time—or the damage simply can't practically be repaired.
So I wouldn't want the eventual episode to imply:
Repair Café fixes things; God fixes people.
That's too tidy.
Instead, the limits of human repair might actually make the comparison better.
Kirk wants to give people an opportunity to repair things “they’re not ready to let go of.”
For the newspaper, that's talking about possessions.
But as a question rather than an imposed interpretation:
What aren't you ready to let go of?
That can travel in several completely different directions—some good, some bad. There are things worth restoring and relationships worth repairing; there are also grievances, sins or attachments that we should let go of.
So there's potentially a nice tension:
When should we repair? When should we reuse? And when should we let go?
Halifax says:
“better to repair stuff than to throw it away.”
Winnipeg says people bring things they're:
“not ready to let go of.”
And Winnipeg's title says:
“Free fix is in.”
Those three phrases give you almost an episode skeleton already:
throw it away → not ready to let go → can it be fixed?
But I'd keep researching before locking that in.
The most intriguing fact to me right now is actually the coincidence of timing: Global News runs the Halifax Repair Café story August 16, and the Winnipeg Free Press runs its local Repair Café story August 17—the very next morning. That suggests repair cafés themselves may be a timely Canadian phenomenon worth exploring further: where the movement originated, how many now operate, what “right to repair” has to do with it, and whether manufacturers really are making products progressively harder to open and repair.
Those facts could give 26ah24 considerably more substance than either individual news story alone.

explain how the caption and the image by Cathy Hull go together - The pandemic will not prevent McConnell from achieving his goal of tailor-made lifetime appointments —young, white, males —to the federal bench. His motto is leave no vacancy behind. Mission accomplished.
Yes. Once you know what Cathy Hull is doing, the image is quite a clever visual pun.
The picture is a parody of an old-fashioned portrait of a woman sewing. Hull has put Mitch McConnell's face onto the figure. The sewing is the key: McConnell is literally tailoring something.
That connects directly to Hull's caption:
“The pandemic will not prevent McConnell from achieving his goal of tailor-made lifetime appointments — young, white, males — to the federal bench.”
So “tailor-made” is being turned from a figure of speech into a literal picture. McConnell is portrayed as a seamstress/tailor, carefully making the federal judiciary to his specifications.
There are several layers to the joke:
“Tailor-made lifetime appointments” — the judges are metaphorically being made to order, so Hull depicts McConnell literally tailoring.
“Leave no vacancy behind” — the political objective was to fill every available federal judgeship. In Hull's characterization, McConnell keeps “sewing” until every vacancy is filled.
“Mission accomplished” — suggests that this isn't casual sewing; the finished product is the judiciary McConnell wanted.
The deliberately archaic portrait adds another joke. The caption characterizes the desired appointees as “young, white, males,” while McConnell is represented in clothing from an earlier era. Hull is visually associating his project with an old-fashioned social order.
There is also an intentional comic mismatch between the dignified historic portrait, the feminine period clothing, and McConnell's recognizable face. The absurdity makes the political criticism immediately visible.
And this explains why you encountered it while searching for “THE FIX IS IN.” Hull's underlying accusation is that the judicial outcome is effectively fixed in advance: vacancies arise, and McConnell has the political machinery and preferred kind of candidate ready to fill them. “Fix” here therefore means rigged/arranged, not repaired.
That's quite different from your Winnipeg Free Press headline “Free fix is in”, which deliberately flips that familiar negative idiom into the positive meaning of something actually getting repaired.
So Cathy Hull's cartoon is useful to your research primarily as evidence that “the fix is in” has a well-established satirical meaning that an audience can recognize—which makes the Repair Café headline's reversal of it work.
does cathy hull only do political cartoons
No. Cathy Hull has not only done political cartoons, although political satire has become the dominant part of the work she currently showcases.
For decades she worked more broadly as a freelance editorial and conceptual illustrator, contributing to publications including Time, New York Magazine, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The Wall Street Journal. Her professional categories include illustration, digital art and editorial work.
There's actually been a career shift. Steven Heller, who knew her work from The New York Times Op-Ed page, describes her earlier work as detailed surrealistic conceptual illustration. He says that more recently she moved from illustrating other people's words toward creating her own ideas and satire, particularly using digital montage and famous works of art.
Her present website is overwhelmingly political/current-events satire—Trump, Biden, elections, courts, COVID, etc.—and describes her as an author, illustrator and political satirist.
So for what you're investigating, I'd characterize her as:
Cathy Hull = longtime editorial/conceptual illustrator → increasingly political satirist, especially in her recent work.
And her technique is interesting in relation to the “Fix Is In” picture you found: she frequently reinterprets recognizable historic artworks, substituting contemporary figures so that the original artwork itself becomes part of the joke. Her books explicitly cite inspiration from artists including Michelangelo, Vermeer, Magritte, Manet, Grant Wood and Norman Rockwell.
If you're wondering whether she has a nonpolitical cartoon involving repairing/fixing something, that's worth a separate search through her older illustration work.

i've attached an image of recent youtube thumbnails - and - please generate something similar for the following ommwstudio episode script:
See full 20260824allthingsnewagain26ah24 script below re: Revelation 21:5a (M:SS), Halifax Repair Cafe (M:SS),, Proverbs 24:33-34 (M:SS), Winnipeg Repair Cafe (M:SS), Psalm 118:22-24 (M:SS), closing prayer (M:SS), And morE. *
1001host - ohhDublmw - 26 a h 24 - all things new again - but first Revelation chapter 21 verse 5a.*
1002cohost - Then the one on the seat of honor spoke again. “Behold,” he said, “I am making all things fresh and new.”
1003host - It’s a wonderful gift to be able to imagine and create something. Now if it’s a recipe or a poem, we might be able to tweak and improve it the next time around. But if it’s a physical construct, sooner or later it will degenerate which is where the Repair Cafe, both in Halifax and Winnipeg and around the world comes in.
1004cohost - I agree that a thing of beauty is a joy forever. And as Douglas Couch notes in Halifax, where the local chapter of the Repair Cafe meets every third week in a public library, not making something that is repairable is the wrong way to do things.
1005host - One of the advantages of repairing things rather than throwing them out is that it brings people together. Ethnic Canadians such as Nadia Gouda and daughter Nour Mohamed bring their scientifically and university trained minds to bear on repair requests brought to them by others with different backgrounds and abilities such as Youyou Lu and everyone recognizes the advantage of learning new things in order to maintain items that in some cases have even acquired value on account of sentiment that outweighs perhaps the mere functional value of the item.
1006cohost - Proverbs 24 verse(s) 33 and 34 read: A little extra sleep, a little more slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest— then poverty will pounce on you like a bandit; scarcity will attack you like an armed robber.
1007host - It’s true that fixing things gives people a sense of accomplishment that motivates them to try more new things while at the same time affording them a return of confidence on their investment not to mention small and diverse savings that pile up in ways that make it possible to acquire other things as well.
1008cohost - Winnipeg’s Repair Cafe operates along Spence Street where organizer Steven Kirk says that every second week about ten walk-up clients arrive to be served by six “amazingly talented” volunteers who are on site with a variety of skills. Kirk said they see everything from old clothes to toasters, coffee machines and weed wackers and the team has about a 60 per cent success rate with repairing the items.
1009host - Psalms 118 verse(s) 22 through 24 read: The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
1010cohost - In these days of rising costs due to tariffs perhaps ‘throwaway’ consumerism is coming to an end. New technology, such as 3d printing and AI research can also be used by repair teams to bridge gaps like never before. All these things fundamentally underscore the steadfastness of God who alone understands every mystery with respect to how things work and who alone has storehouses of renewal and blessing that He wants to bless humankind with.
1011host - God, make this day completely divine, Father, Son, Holy Ghost, North-South-East-West & God, please help Douglas Couch in Halifax to continue to experience your grace as he serves people in Halifax. Help him to understand solutions better and to see you bringing resources to bear in ways that meet real needs through his efforts along with the efforts of the team there. And please help Stephen Kirk in the same ways and also to see how the people who bring items for repair benefit and grow as a result of the second chance opportunities they are gifted with. May love and service be multiplied and may knowledge grow around all of your ways in connection with material things and also with respect to new and improved personal developments. And God, may your benefits moreover flow as we address and confess any and every sin that’s earned guilt and distance and hurt and darkness. Whosoever will may come to God, who is listening now. He’s ready to run towards the one needing embrace and forgiveness and life eternal. Without force, he’s asking admission. Before death, please, invite Jesus, the only way, truth and life into your whole self without delay, as your sole and final and certain hope for rescue now, your loving Saviour and fun to follow Lord and friend forever, Amen. Please contact our 220 Pritchard Winnipeg studio, but before we go, Peace-out, hallelujah, maranatha, shalom.

i posted an earlier, simpler thumbnail - you've got to simplify the one i'm asking you to generate now - the way you've done it is too busy - you don't need timestamps and episode 125 and you don't need hours of business and you don't need pictures of both douglas couch (or even his name) or of stephen kirk (you certainly don't need pictures of two men fixing separate things) and for the moslem ladies, their 'likenesses' should be more closer to the attached mother daughter photo
Edit
further improvements required:
moslem ladies should look like mother daughter in image attached to this post
moslem ladies with toaster should be much smaller and male caucasian repair person working on another item should also be included and should be larger than moslem lady repair duo vignette
OmmwStudio on YouTube must be include as per peddle power to the people attachment to this post
Faith (Adult) Learning Centre - upgrading to grade 12 and more! AND Contact us to participate! AND Graduate with us - flcaae.ca
Repair Cafe / Halifax Repair Cafe / Winnipeg Repair Cafe / Repair Reuse Renew should disappear
Edit
the two Muslim ladies fixing the toaster must look like the two ladies in the attached image AND REMOVE all four circles (yellow green blue red) and their slogans AND REPLACE WITH the following text: GOD knows HOW and WHY everything WORKS! and along the very horizontal bottom of the image, where you have the darkened city silhouette, overlay same with the following text: Wake up - see the Lord's doing!
Edit
ok - last tweek - leave everything the same except change the following:
where it says 'Fixing things. Helping people. Building community PUT THE FOLLOWING WORDS INSTEAD: Proverbs 24:33,34 - Psalms 118:22-24
Edit
