There is an old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." I know you've probably heard that before, but what about after twice? I know that in my very nearly 40 years I have messed up a lot. I've done some really stupid stuff and have hurt folks that I really cared about.
I went through a spell where I didn't care what anybody thought about me, I was going to, by dang, do what I wanted and some folks got burned. I never was intentional about it, but it just happened. I've been called hard headed, a rebel, and lots of other things I won't repeat here, but as I've aged, I've also mellowed.
Honestly, I never was a real hell raiser, I just did my own thing. When I realized I had messed up, I would feel sorry about it, but that was usually as far as it went. I'd apologize when needed and try to fix whatever situation I had messed up. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.
Personally, I think everyone deserves a second chance, goodness knows I've used some. But what about after that? When someone continues to hurt folks, do stupid things, or just make a general mess out of their lives, at what point do you say enough is enough? Jesus talked about it and said let it go 70 times 7 times. That's not a literal 490 times, but a reference to the fact that forgiveness should be offered continually, regardless.
But Paul, if Paul wrote the letter the Titus, says different. He has more of a 2 strikes and you're out kind of thing. Now, he was talking about folks causing problems in this very young faith movement, but he didn't see the need for a third chance. He says, "Warn a divisive person once, and then warn him a second time, after that have nothing to do with him. You may be sure that such a man is warped and sinful; he is self-condemned."
Personally, I think that's a little harsh and that is why FaithRiver was born. I tend to lean more towards Jesus on this one than Paul, but don't want to just get ran over either. That's human nature, I guess. We want to follow the example we've been given, but at the same time, we know there must be accountability and responsibility.
Now, I know from experience that some folks are just trouble makers, even in the church. They aren't happy unless somebody is hurting at their hands and will do whatever they can to keep something stirred up all the time. I have zero patience for that and totally agree with Paul. Warn them twice, and if they don't straighten up, give them permission to leave...in Christian love, of course. But that's not what this passage said to me this morning.
This morning, as I read these words to Titus, which by the way, I wasn't even supposed to read. None of us were. It hit me, that Jesus wants us to create a space where folks who have used their first and second chances, get another shot. Who knows? Maybe I'm just dreaming, but I would like to think that if folks who had used their first and second chances knew that they could have a clean slate and start over, they just might give it a shot. I guess we'll see.
So, First Church and FaithRiver Flock, if you know someone who has used up all the chances they think they have, send them to me. I just happen to know a guy that would love to talk with them for a minute.

The personal representatives of an estate are those persons who, by law, undertake the duties and obligations of administering the estate of the deceased. They are recognized for all purposes as the deceased person's living representative who will carry out his wishes according to his will, in the case of an executor, and an administrator where there is no valid will. Whatever the nomenclature used, the duties of the personal representative generally entail the collection, preservation, realization and distribution of the income and assets of the estate.
Collection and Preservation A personal representative has the first and foremost duty to collect and preserve the assets of the deceased. He should therefore take possession of or assume control over the assets as soon as he can properly do so. He must gather and keep safe the deceased's documents and property, including the original will, bank books or statements, titles to land and motor vehicles and share certificates. He should also collect all means of access to the deceased's assets, such as keys to real property, motor vehicles, safety deposit boxes, boats etc.
The personal representative has an ongoing duty to ensure the preservation of those assets until he can realize and distribute the assets or the proceeds of the assets to the creditors of the deceased firstly, then to beneficiaries of the estate. A personal representative cannot allow assets to fall into disrepair and should ensure that assets are secured from theft, as best as the estate can afford. The personal representative should take reasonable steps to avoid loss to the estate, but this duty does not extend to an obligation to ensure that the assets are meeting their maximum profitability or appreciation in asset value.
Realization of Assets and Payment of Debts A personal representative should take care in realizing assets and where appropriate obtain legal or professional advice in doing so. Valuation reports should be obtained to guide the appropriate sale price for assets as well as newspaper advertisements where appropriate to obtain optimal market exposure.
Distribution Once the personal representative is in a position to transfer assets of the estate, normally after they have obtained the requisite grant of representation from the courts, they are obliged to advertise for creditors of the estate at least once in a local newspaper and await a period of no less than 6 weeks. The assets must be distributed according to the terms of the will or applicable intestacy laws. Distribution is however subject to the solvency of the estate (where assets of the estate exceed its liabilities) or insolvency (where liabilities of the estate exceed the assets). All just debts of the estate, such as funeral expenses, undischarged mortgages, unsatisfied loans, government fees and taxes must be paid before any distribution can be made to the beneficiaries. Specific assets also maybe charged with the payment of specific debts. It is good practice for personal representatives to advise beneficiaries in cases where the asset they expect to get, will have to be disposed of, in order to satisfy the debts of the estate.

King County Public Health in Washington has advised Auburn School District to bar more than 200 unvaccinated students from attending school until 25 days have passed since a mumps case has been confirmed among the school population, according to a local NBC affiliate.
As of Dec. 7, there have been 44 potential mumps cases reported in King County, seven of which have been confirmed. Thirty-nine of the cases have occurred in Auburn.
The mumps are best known for painful, swollen salivary glands that cause puffy cheeks and swollen jaw. It is a highly communicable disease transmitted by person-to-person contact and is typically accompanied by initial symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness and loss of appetite.
According to the CDC, two doses of the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine are 88 percent effective at preventing the mumps.

● Try meditation techniques to support better mental health.
● Pamper yourself with beauty products from JC Beauty to help you feel confident.
● Spend time enjoying your favourite hobbies for overall health benefits.
● Clear out the clutter and clean up your living space to eliminate bad vibes.
Switch Up Your Diet for Mental Health Perks
What you consume can have a significant impact on your mental state. While there are no magic solutions to depression and other mental health challenges, cleaning up your diet can help alleviate symptoms.
● Stop eating junk food to reduce your odds of experiencing psychological distress.
● Consume foods that are scientifically proven to reduce the risk of depression.
● Keep hydrated to reduce your odds of depressive episodes.

Overcoming Cyberthreat and Vulnerabilities: Do Banks Really Need Zero-trust Cybersecurity?
The apparent reason why cybersecurity is critical in banking sector operations is to safeguard client assets. As more individuals become cashless, transactions are conducted online or through physical credit scanners.
This affects more than just the consumer. Additionally, it causes significant damage to the bank while it tries to retrieve the data. When information is held hostage, the bank may be forced to spend lots of money to get it back. As a result, their clients and other investment firms lose confidence in them.
Cyber in the Audit (CitA) establishes a framework and guidelines for taking a systematic approach to assurance and making risk-based decisions. Historically, auditors have examined their clients' broad information technology controls (GITCs). However, as hazards change, so does the auditor's function. Cyber in the Audit helps the IT audit by evaluating the cybersecurity safeguards to avoid an attack on the bank's IT system. An IT audit helps a financial statement by checking automated controls.
Reasons why banks need zero-trust cybersecurity model
Third-Party organization breach
As lenders improve their cybersecurity, hackers have changed their attention to shared financial systems and third-party networks. If they are not as well secured as the bank, attackers may easily breach them.
Mobile application risks
More people now use mobile apps to access their bank accounts. Many of these individuals have scant or no security, which increases their vulnerability to assault significantly. As a result, banking software solutions at the endpoint are necessary to prevent unauthorized behavior.
Vulnerabilities to crypto-threats
In addition to traditional money, the burgeoning realm of cryptocurrency has seen a rise in hacks. Due to the sector's uncertainty about deploying cyber virus protection for banking with the ever industry, attackers have a better opportunity to steal significant sums of this money. Particularly when its value rapidly changes.
Need for Data Privacy
Banks began their privacy journeys for one of two reasons: whether as a result of legislation or initiative, privacy becomes a company-wide priority. In order to navigate the evolving regulatory climate and customer expectations of more individual ownership of data, banks must create a roadmap that takes into account the current regulatory difficulties as well as a long-term vision of an ever-changing regulatory environment.
The most successful data security plan incorporates best practices and makes those practices -both procedurally and culturally- permeate the enterprise.
While data must be regarded as a prized possession. What gives a bank value is what it does with its data, such as improving client experiences and providing tailored products. Additionally, companies that handle and safeguard personal data proactively and in the way consumers expect will outperform their competitors.
Banks will need to get a better understanding of their user's data and the effect new laws will have on their business plans and models. Waiting until the last minute is not an option, since the objective is to develop consumer trust and loyalty.
Ways to ensure Zero-Trust Cybersecurity Model
Customized Employee Training
To ensure the effectiveness of your security initiatives, it is critical that you educate your staff about cyber hygiene guiding principles. Apart from lowering your organization's cyber risk, staff training may also assist mitigate the consequences of a data leak. When staff is properly educated to utilize cybersecurity technologies, they may actively detect and resolve exploitable flaws in your systems.
Taking a Cyber Insurance Policy
Cyber insurance protects companies financially in the case of a data breach, providing it a critical component of a comprehensive cybersecurity plan. Along with paying legal costs, cyber insurance carriers inform consumers of data breaches to ensure that businesses comply with applicable data breach laws. Moreover, cyber insurance will assist in the repair of damaged systems and data restoration.
Implementing MFA across verticals
MFA is a type of authentication in which access is given only when a user submits two or more login passwords. Passwords, pins, or biometrics can be used as login credentials. When configuring MFA, ensure that authentication mechanisms do not originate from the same source (i.e., two different passwords), as this compromises security. MFA is critical for financial institutions because it offers an additional degree of protection when seeking to access sensitive data.
Conducting Risk Assessment
Conducting a cyber risk assessment enables businesses to detect and manage network vulnerabilities. By prioritizing remediation activities and streamlining threat mitigation, you can determine which hazards represent the biggest danger to your company. This enables proactive data breach protection while reducing expenses and labor hours.
How CSE can help the Bank pivot resources for Zero trust?
Banks need insight into their cybersecurity infrastructures in order to defend themselves effectively against attacks. Financial services companies get an outside-in perspective of their IT infrastructure via CSE's financial services solutions, allowing them to quickly detect cyber threats and prioritize threat mitigation. Additionally, we provide third-party risk assessment tools that enable you to monitor your vendor's security posture efficiently. You may quickly evaluate vendor risk using an A-F score while also verifying that they adhere to banking security requirements.
Overall, it is critical for banks to remain ahead of the danger by evaluating the capabilities of their defenses. Simulating possible cyber assaults, for example from actual attackers (including malware and phishing), validating the tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP), as well as the overall emergency operations and threat management, is a useful method.

A lush green lawn in any house will always add to its beauty. It has become a style statement of many residences, especially sub-urban houses. Maintaining a lawn and keeping it at its best requires some equipment that is easily available in the market. A lawn mower is one such machine that has revolving blades on it to cut the grass in the lawn and keep it at an even height. The blades of a lawn mower are powered either manually or electrically.
Types of Lawn Mowers
Grass is a very important part of landscapes and requires different types of mowers to preserve its beauty. Mowers are essential for maintaining the lawns at our homes and workplaces. Beautiful lawns make a place aesthetically pleasing which in a way gives us peace of mind and calmness. Greenery is always eye pleasing, so go green with eco-friendly lawn mowers.

POWERFUL POP AMPLIFIES VAUGHN'S LOUDER THAN THE LIES Singer/Songwriter Joel Vaughn Bows New Studio Set January 29 |
Joel Vaughn New Studio Set
Louder Than The Lies, the latest full-length release from acclaimed singer/songwriter and Christian radio hitmaker Joel Vaughn, will be available January 29 from DREAM Records. Chronicling his personal journey from self-doubt and depression to liberation in Christ, Vaughn co-wrote each of the album's 12-tracks and co-produced the project along with Brent Milligan (Steven Curtis Chapman, Tauren Wells), Micah Kuiper (TobyMac, Jeremy Camp), Christian Hale and David Thulin, among others.
From the opening strains of "Make The Most Of It" to album closer "Satisfied," an expressive moment of worship featuring Emily Irene Fertig, themes of resilience and hope are amplified atop Vaughn's signature synth-pop grooves. Louder Than The Lies is anchored by the deeply personal title-cut, a timeless message encapsulating Vaughn's story.
"Like many, I've had painful experiences in life that led to self-doubt, depression and anxiety, eventually taking me down a path I felt I couldn't escape," he shares. "A few years ago, I turned a corner and refused to continue accepting the lies that I was unworthy, unloved and not good enough."
"Telling the truth shines a spotlight on the lies," Vaughn continues. "Every single time the light pierces the darkness, hope emerges. When we allow Jesus to point His light at our hearts and minds, we see what we're truly up against. Christ
overcame the darkness, dying to save all mankind. When we finally let our guard down and accept His love and grace, beautiful things begin to happen. I pray this album is a declaration that the Truth is louder than the lies we believe about ourselves."
Louder Than The Lies also features Vaughn's latest single, "Already Done." An anthem of empowerment in the face of obstacles, the track is currently #22 on Billboard's Christian AC Indicator chart. Additional highlights of the project include the acoustic guitar-driven "Seasons"; "I Would Be Lost," a joyful celebration of our home in Christ; and the poignant "It's Okay," which Vaughn wrote for a young boy following the loss of his mother.

Who Is Joel Vaughn?
Since his official debut, Bigger Than Me, in 2008, Joel Vaughn has become one of Christian radio's most consistent performers. His hit singles include 2019's "I Look To You," which reached #3 on Billboard's Christian Hot AC Recurrent chart, as well as "Wide Awake," "As You Are," "Pray It Up," and "More Than Good Enough." He has garnered more than 10 million streams and opened shows for Hillsong Young & Free, The Afters, Remedy Drive, Dan Bremnes and Brandon Heath, among others. In 2018 Vaughn appeared and performed in the PureFlix feature film, God's Not Dead 3 – A Light In Darkness, one of the most successful Christian film franchises of all time.

Drone Reportedly Follows Boys Walking Home From School
ESCALON (CBS13) — Escalon police say a drone reportedly followed two boys as they walked home from school Monday.
Police say a resident reported the unmanned aerial vehicle (drone) followed their son and another boy as they walked home near Dent Elementary School in the 2100 block of Yosemite Avenue Monday afternoon.

The black medium-sized quadcopter drone reportedly followed the boys for a short distance and flew within feet of the children before flying away.
Tuesday, Escalon police announced that the drone appears to have belonged to a boy and some friends who were looking at the construction at Dent Elementary. The boy's mother says her son saw the two boys waving at the drone, so he flew it down close to them.
The boy's mother apologized for the panic the incident caused and has since taken away her son's drone.
Police said if anyone sees drones in the area of schools or being operated in an unsafe or suspicious way, notify the police department immediately.

A post-election concert celebrating gay and Jewish life
The Great Hall at Cooper Union was the site of a unique musical experience on Sunday, December 5, when the Lavender Light Gospel Choir, a gay and lesbian singing group, and the West End Klezmorim, a traditional Jewish folk music troupe, presented "Uniting Traditions," a concert meant to combine the two musical traditions of communities accustomed to striving for equality. The event was the brainchild of Assemblywoman Deborah Glick, a Manhattan Democrat, who is a lesbian, who said that this year's bitterly fought presidential contest and Republican victories had upset constituents in her overwhelmingly Democratic district. "When it was clear that this election had been about dividing people, the opportunity provided itself to have a concert," said Glick, as the audience filed into their seats. With the speeches over and the ballots cast, Glick's intention was to gather two of the groups who comprise a large percentage of her district, LGBT and Jewish voters, including many senior citizens, for a cultural celebration. "And the arts are a way of healing the rancor and overcoming the divisiveness," added Glick. The lawmaker stood before a stage crowded with microphones and musical equipment, an iconic site for American progressivism ever since Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln delivered 19th century anti-slavery speeches.
The mood on December 5 was decidedly less revolutionary, if not relaxed, with the actor Liev Schreiber, star of "The Manchurian Candidate," introducing the West End Klezmorim, led by composer and clarinetist, Harold Seletsky. Schreiber said that he has become well acquainted with klezmer, the East European folk music, since undertaking research about an upcoming movie set in Ukraine. "The music starts with, 'Oy, vey, we are all going to die,' and then goes into this rapturous dance that is very strange, mystical and beautiful," said Schreiber.
Seletsky opened with "Spiritual Fantasy," a mournful, blues-like clarinet solo that gently morphed into just what Schreiber described, an up-tempo folk polka with accordion, drum and electric guitar accompaniment, reminiscent of a schtetl celebration from "Fiddler on the Roof."
Seletsky explained that the "frailach," a central construction in klezmer, has been a generational mainstay, still played at Jewish weddings, that "invites—no, compels— movement." Seletsky added that the 1940s musical great, Benny Goodman, adapted popular1920s frailachs into mainstream popular numbers, such as "The Angels Sing."
Following the performance of Seletsky's troupe, the Lavender Light Gospel Choir, a multi-racial group of gays and lesbians, led by Ray Gordon, artistic director and pianist, opened with the rousing, "Lord, Help Me to Hold Out," with baritone Max Rodriguez leading. Other numbers included "Shower Me With Blessings" and "Shelter in Time of Storm."
The choir's choice of songs underscored the group's mission of keeping black gospel music alive, especially for the gay and lesbian community.
The West End Klezmorim and Lavender Light then engaged in some collaborative numbers, for which the singers and musicians had rehearsed for some time. The gospel singing, cut through with signature riffs on Seletsky's clarinet, lent to an enthusiastic audience swaying in their seats and clapping along, compelled to move.
At the end, with a house full of Jews, gays and lesbians, some accompanied by their children, Glick seemed to have united a multi-generational, -racial and -cultural assortment of New Yorkers for a pleasant musical afternoon.

Sam Keys is Deputy Headteacher at a Primary School in Newcastle. As well as being the Deputy, Sam is also the SENCo and Year 6 teacher. He's been using Pobble in his classroom for a few years now. Here, Sam shares how he uses the Pobble platform to inspire short burst writing and improve writing stamina.
I joined my school as Year 6 teacher and deputy head about four years ago. It's a really lovely school in the North East of England with a really diverse catchment. We've got a really high percentage of pupil premium children, English as an additional language (EAL) children and a high percentage of SEND children so it's quite a tricky context, but a brilliant place, a real melting pot of a school.
The reason we signed up to Pobble was that, like many schools, writing has been a real barrier. This was for all of the stereotypical reasons, the children weren't motivated to write, there was a trend between boys and girls progress and most children lacked stamina in writing. We were in a situation where we were making steady progress in reading, making steady progress in maths, but the writing was a little bit flat. I don't think there's any other way to put it, it really it was just a little bit flat. We needed something to kick start it and bring it to life, something to give it a bit of purpose and a bit of pizazz to inspire our kids.
Pobble really has done that for me and my pupils, and it's been a real success in our school!
I use Pobble on a day to day basis for short burst writing in school. Most often a lesson where I'm just doing a little bit of input, sharing some examples, and then the kids are having a go themselves. Here's how I structure my lesson for maximum impact:
When you head to the Pobble platform, there are reams and reams of really good examples of texts written by children. One of the things I find is that kids love seeing good examples of work written by other children their age. We call them what a good one looks like or WAGOLLs. The kids really analyse the writing and are more engaged with it. It's brilliant to put that in front of them and tell them you're looking at a year six bit of work, especially when you know it's a great piece of writing. Some kids get a bit of a boost knowing that they can write to that sort of standard and others are saying whoa! That's quite impressive, I now need to up my game a little bit.
A quick search of the writing bank and you'll find some really, really high-quality pieces and you can filter by age group. Once I've dived onto Pobble and find myself a really high-quality text that I'd like to share with my class, I use Pobble's lesson builder to create a short burst writing lesson and add it to my presentation. When I present this to the class, we're going to really go to town and discuss what's good, what's not good and what we would change.
I always include success criteria in my short burst lessons, these are really useful to ensure my class know what's expected of them. It also encourages them to challenge themselves and think carefully about how they structure their work. In Pobble's lesson builder, you can add a pre-made success criteria slide. This makes it really simple and you can add some prompts as well, to give the kids a hint. I like to create these with the kids in my class, so I often make these live in the lesson.
Once we've got some really good, success criteria and prompts to work on. I can easily add some images into my presentation to inspire that setting description. What's great about Pobble is it's got an extensive image bank of royalty-free images, you can search whatever you like and add it in so you're not breaching all those copyright rules that we're often dodging left, right and centre.
As you can see, really quickly I'm building up a high-quality, short burst writing stimulus. I usually add a lined paper slide in so I can get up on my board and do some modelling which is really important. At the school I'm in, we've got a high percentage of children with dyslexia, so having an accessibility colour option in presentations is really handy too.
It's a bit of a game-changer that I can quickly set up a presentation like this, pulling in a really good example of a bit of pupil work, I can even get the kids to comment on that work if I like. So there you go, really quick in a couple of minutes I've got a really high-quality resource.
Not only can I build up that slide show and present it on the whiteboard for my class to see, but I can also share that lesson easily with kids whether they're in class on their Ipads or laptops or whatever tech you've got, or If they're at home, there's a link to it in a PDF form so they can still access the lesson.
When the kids have got that lesson, they can use pupil logins to view it. They log onto Pobble themselves and they can actually access any lesson that I've sent.
We've done our modelled writing in class and I've really shown off that high-quality standard that I'm expecting. They've looked at another chance piece of work that they've been inspired by or had a confidence boost by. We've got the success criteria down the side of the page, and they can see the picture up close and jump straight into their work. I love it. All the tools they require for that short burst writing activity are there, all in one place.
They can add their own work by either handwriting on paper and taking a photo or typing directly into Pobble. It's been brilliant to see the children's reaction to this option, they're not having to close the iPad that they were really excited about getting out and having to get their books out to write. Each child can work at their own pace and focus on the section of the lesson they're on rather than having to flick back and forth on the smartboard between various slides.
Once they've finished they can review, highlight, annotate and edit their own work using the self-assessment tools or peer assess, they can tell me before they've even submitted that work whether they've achieved the success criteria that they've been working on. I can clearly see that they've achieved the success criteria that I've introduced at the start of the lesson. It's had a great impact on my class.
Pobble for us has given the kids a purpose to write. It's given that independent learning opportunity where the kids are reviewing their own work. It's not just a case of 'I think I'm done Mr Keys, there you go.' It's definitely improved the standard writing in our school and enabled us to show progress over time.
Why not have a go at creating your own short burst writing activity using the Pobble lesson builder and see the impact it has on the writing in your class!

A fire that likely blocked a crucial exit at a low-cost dormitory-style housing facility in central Seoul killed at least seven people and injured 11 others on Friday.
According to Seoul Metropolitan Fire and Disaster Headquarters, the death toll could rise despite the blaze been extinguished.
The fire authorities are investigating possible safety lapses in the building.
"The fire probably started near an exit door on the building's third floor.
"The facility's residents were mostly manual laborers who made their living on day-to-day jobs.
"It was dawn and the exit door was likely blocked, so it would have been difficult (for the residents) to escape," Kwon Hyeok-min, chief of Seoul's Jongno District Fire Station, told reporters.
Another official from the Jongno station said the facility, which was built in 1983, did not have sprinklers because current safety regulations can't be retroactively applied to older structures.
The official, who didn't want to be named, citing office rules, said it was unclear whether the building's smoke detector worked.
The facility, called "goshiwon" in Korean, is where poor workers relying on construction jobs or student preparing for bar exams or civil service exams stay in individual rooms with tiny sleep and study spaces.
Budget travelers also often stay in such facilities.
South Korean media reported that most of the victims were manual laborers in their 40s to 60s.
The fire agency couldn't immediately confirm the reports. It wasn't known whether any young students or travelers were staying there.
The facility was located on the second and third floors of a three-story building. Its first floor has restaurants.
The fire agency said all the victims were on the second and third floors. NAN

Maxwell African Scholars Union presents: Dr. Deborah Pellow
100 Eggers Hall
Add to: Outlook, ICal, Google Calendar
Tradition and Modernity: Hybrid Housing for an African Elite In this paper, Dr. Pellow is concerned with the materiality of change in the homes of a group of first generation professionals from Northern Ghana who have "made it" and now live in the suburbs of Accra, Ghana. Meaning is inscribed in the material/built environment. In the hometown area, they live in or are surrounded by the architectural idiom of mud and wattle round huts, whereas in relocation, as these Ghanaians become "modern," they create modern housing designs. The new aesthetic speaks to their aspirations for new identities and status. They are performative of their cosmopolitanism. At the same time, members of this new elite perpetuate old practices that are tied to an old materiality. To explore the change in identity and status that is embedded in design, and the accommodation of old and new practices, she focuses on the kitchen as a supremely modern space and the socializing spaces associated with the traditional cooking arena. Dr. Pellow is a faculty member in the Department of Anthropology and Maxwell's Master of Social Science program and a founding member and director of the Space and Place Initiative based in the Global Affairs Institute. Her research program is grounded in the roles and relationships enacted by individuals in the urban arena and plural society, under conditions of social change. Her primary geographic area of interest has been West Africa, primarily Ghana; but has also done research in Chicago and Shanghai, China. The interrelationship of social and physical space continues to predominate in her research interest.

June 16, 2015 |By Mark Nardone Mary Catherine Kelley directs Arden Shakespeare Gild's production of the tragedy of "King Lear" under the stars June 18-20 and June 26-27. One of Shakespeare's greats, "King Lear" is a play about politics and family, but mostly about family. King Lear and his three daughters make up one family. The Earl of Gloucester and his two sons, make up the other. Their challenges and the decisions they make propel the plot, with foolish and fatal choices made, loyalty tested, and chaos ensuing. Wilmington actor Greg Tigani takes on the role of Lear, a venerable king whose faculties, both mental and physical, are taxed to the point of breaking. His world is full of steadfast friends and implacable foes. He rules a people who look to the stars to define their destiny. Arden veteran Dan Tucker plays the Earl of Gloucester, whose tale is ultimately horrifying and tragic. Brothers Robert Tietze and George Tietze play the brothers Edgar and Edmund, Gloucester's sons. Kerry Kristine McElrone, Emma D. Orr, and Lily Dove Ozer appear as Lear's daughters. The story is timeless, the characters unforgettable, and the outdoor stage with boulders and trees perfect for a summer evening's Shakespeare encounter.- Advertisement - Tickets are $10, $8 for Arden Club members, seniors & students; and $5 for children 12 and under. Call 475-3126. Follow prompts to mailbox No. 4. Or email email@example.com. Give your name, phone number, date of show and number of tickets for each ticket price.

The beauty industry in Nigeria is one that has thrived with females mostly being at the centre of it all.
From top to bottom, women are projected as the essence of beauty for 'personal' and commercial purposes even in areas where men are concerned. If a man can be described as beautiful however, – as has already been settled over centuries – why does it still boggle the minds of a few men (and women) when other men express interest in just being beautiful and talking about beauty for themselves and other men?
In Nigeria, men mostly feel ashamed to show and express interest in their skin and looks. And this is due to certain social constructs that have thrived in the country. From phrases like 'men don't really care how they look' to 'as long as you have money, you're good…' such has informed the long ignorance of Nigerian men not to be in healthy connections with their skin and looks.
For Nigeria, a lot comes to play when it comes to beauty for men, and while you may want to define Nigeria as a (hypocritically ignorant) conservative society, a few Nigerians have gone against the norm to speak up about beauty and their interest in the female-dominated industry and redefining the prospects of masculinity in Nigeria.
Enioluwa Adeoluwa, popularly called Beauty Boy, is one progressive beauty enthusiast that has attacked the traditional idea that beauty is a one-way street dominated by only his female counterpart. With personal experiences that are masked in 'situational comedy,' Enioluwa has veered into a female-dominated space and continues to leverage on social media as a tool to meet his target audience – men (and women if you must).
One interesting thing about Enioluwa is how he advocates for minority groups while creating conversations about skincare, beauty and the idea that as a man, you can go ahead and look fabulous!
In a country where certain generalisations, stereotypes and profiling comes into play by gradual observations, Enioluwa has been able to navigate from the negativity that comes with it; to establish a name and brand for himself.
Typically, for men, when one is 'too' in touch with certain mannerisms and interests, it becomes a problem and they are stereotyped into certain boxes and classes. However, Eni is not shy to address these issues that speak loudly to the toxic masculinity that has thrived in Nigeria for the longest part.
Enioluwa's contents and advocacy for 'male beauty' should be an eye-opener for Nigerian brands and businesses that have closed their minds to the possibilities of having skincare and beauty products targeted at men. Going forward, brands and businesses need to look for ways to include men in the 'beauty conversation'.
Passionately navigating social media looking his best, Enioluwa like a few other Gen Zs are leading the conversation and demanding a shift in the cultural thought process with the aim to make everyone comfortable with talking about their skin, regardless of how they define their own gender.

Working overseas is something many people want to do. But what do you need to know before you go?
When it comes to working overseas the options can be endless. You may be considering teaching English in Italy, working as a ski instructor in Japan or taking a job that's very similar to the one you're doing now, only in New York City!
General Advice Disclosure: This document contains information that is general in nature. It does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular person.
You need to consider your financial situation and needs before making any decisions based on this information. If you decide to purchase or vary a financial product, your financial adviser,
AMP Financial Planning and other companies within the AMP Group may receive fees and other benefits. The fees will be a dollar amount and/or a percentage of either the premium you pay or the value of your investment. Please contact us if you want more information.
Advantages of working overseas
Wherever you're planning to go, you could find there's more to be gained by working overseas than just earning a different currency. Recruitment experts say international experience can look good on your resume.1 That's because many employers value the experiences employees gain by working overseas. Not only does international experience look good, it can also make you better at what you do, studies by the Harvard Business Review have found. People who've worked overseas were revealed to be better problem solvers and display more creativity than those that hadn't, while those who became bi-cultural had better professional reputations and got promoted faster.2Where should you go?
At any one time there are around one million Australians living and working overseas.3 Certain places have a reputation for their expertise in certain industries – for example, you wouldn't consider Fiji if you wanted to work as a ski instructor, but you may move to London or New York to further your career in finance. You may also be limited by the countries you can get a visa for and the type of visa you can get. To find out in advance what rules and regulations apply around visas in the country you'd like to work in, contact the country's embassy here in Australia.Getting ready to go
While the thought of life in another country is exciting, there are a few practical things you need to know before you jet off.Savings
Before you go it's a good idea to have some savings behind you to help you get set up once you arrive.Documents
You should take your important personal documents with you as they may be required by immigration or your overseas employer. They will usually require originals, but be sure to make copies and leave these in Australia. Documents to take include: • Birth certificate • Marriage certificate • Citizenship documents • Divorce and custody documents • Educational qualifications • Police checks4Tax
If you remain an Australian resident while overseas, you need to continue to lodge an Australian tax return and declare your worldwide income, even if you pay tax in the country you are working in.5 The Australian Government has double taxation agreements with several countries so that Australians don't end up paying tax in two countries. Visit the Australian Taxation Office website for more information on the tax implications of working overseas.HELP loans
If you have a Higher Education Loan Programme (HELP) debt you are currently paying off, you will need to continue to pay it off while you work overseas.6Super
Typically, your super must remain in your super fund until you reach preservation age and are eligible to access it. If you wish, you can continue to contribute to your super in Australia while you're away, though restrictions apply to self-managed super funds.7 To ensure you've taken care of the financial side of things, speak to us before you head off.

IP Box tax relief has been in place since early 2019, offering an option to tax part of the income at a preferential rate of 5%, more attractive than standard rates provided for in the CIT and PIT Act.
Therefore, it is a way to significantly reduce the amount of income tax you pay, and the money saved on tax can be used for any purpose whatsoever.
The IP Box tax relief can be implemented in most entities operating in the IT industry. It can be claimed by any entity that pursues research and development activities whereby they create or creatively develop a copyright to a computer program, thus generating income subject to CIT or PIT.
A copyright to a computer program does not necessarily have to be produced by the taxpayer. In certain cases, the IP Box tax relief can also be claimed by entities that e.g. use an eligible right on the basis of an exclusive licence and carry out R&D works commissioned by a third party.
Opting for the IP Box solution does not mean you have to file separate applications (as in the case with subsidies), and the taxpayer claims the tax relief in their annual CIT or PIT return.
The Act provides a catalogue of eligible intellectual property rights that may be covered by the tax relief. What is important for the IT industry is that a copyright to a computer program is explicitly listed by the legislator as one of such eligible intellectual property rights. A precondition for claiming the IP Box tax relief is that this right shall enjoy legal protection either under Polish or foreign regulations.
Under the Act, the catalogue of income that may be taxed at a preferential rate includes the following:
- receivables from computer program licensing;
- receivables from the sale of a copyright to a computer program;
- receivables from the sale of products or services, provided that a copyright to a computer program is included in the sale price;
- compensation for the infringement of rights to computer programs.
The 5% preferential rate does not apply to all income derived from an eligible right. In order to determine what part of the income qualifies for the IP Box tax relief, taxpayers must calculate the Nexus index. This indicator allows to determine what part of R&D activities related to an eligible right has been undertaken by the taxpayer on their own (by their employees and unrelated associates), and what part has been purchased from other entities. The more work the taxpayer does on their own, the more can they benefit from the tax relief.
In order to claim the tax relief safely, it is also necessary to recognise eligible rights in the taxpayer's accounts properly and obtain documentation related both to these rights and the research and development activities that are being carried out. This is something entrepreneurs should pay particular attention to.
See what we can do for you
Rely on expert support when implementing IP Box
RSM Poland consultants have practical experience in consultancy on IP Box tax relief in the IT industry. Therefore, we can offer entrepreneurs our comprehensive support adjusted to their needs, where we can among others:
- identify activities that meet the definition of R&D activities;
- identify eligible rights that may be covered by the IP Box tax relief;
- verify the records and documentation maintained by the taxpayer for the purposes of the IP Box tax relief and help to complete it;
- file a request for an individual interpretation of tax regulations in order to make sure that the tax relief is implemented as safely as possible;
- prepare reporting and identify possible risk areas.
Recover part of your expenditure on innovation through implementing the IP Box solution. Rely on the expertise and experience of RSM Poland experts who will help you claim the tax relief safely and effectively.

China, if you don't like that the world sees you as a threat, how about stop being a threat? Pretty straight forward don't you think?
China's state press lashed out at the anti-China tone of the discussions.
STFU China. This is exactly what you like to call "An Internal Matter"/ Comment on our elections whenj you learn to have them yourself.
Elbuda Mexicano
"They're taking jobs. They're stealing our intellectual property, our patents, our designs, our technology, hacking into our computers, counterfeiting our goods," Romney said. How many of Romney's investements are in CHINA too?? Both indirectly and indirectly??
China has no business commenting on U.S, "Internal Matters". And you can't get more internal that the US Presidential Elections. And being that they don't have elections for their national leaders themselves they aren't qualified to be commenting on other nation's elections.
China, we have been too nice to let you play your rule and game, but not any more.
The next step is for Wal-Mart stores and KFC and Starbucks outlets in China to be trashed by the patriotic rioting mobs, who exhausted all potential Japanese targets a month ago and are getting impatient for new worlds to conquer.
US will shift business strategy focusing on the South America from China. China knows that and being thretened.
China lends so much money to the US. I don't see how America can do anything about, or to china. I mean what would happen if your lender stop lending to you. It' would be like an heroin addict cut off from his/her drugs too..
"The sound and steady development of China-U.S. relations serve the fundamental interests of both countries and both peoples, it is also conducive to regional and world peace, stability and prosperity."
Yep. But they have an election to win, so check back on November 5.
I have news fo the Chinese: You will be fortunate indeed if your students - who come here to the USA and taste freedom - decide to come back to China and work. I know this because 40% of the students I teach here at Va. Tech are Chinese, and a great number of them like living in a place that isn't choked with pollution, governed by a tyranny that shuts down dissent (a' la' Google and YouTube in China), and a place that isn't overly crowded (Blacksburg Virginia, population 40,000 [35k of which are associate with Tech). And if this is happening in just one college town, imagine the thousand or so other major colleges and their towns experiencing similarly with their Chinese students.
Yep, China needs to be aware that their students actually like the USA, actually like freedom, and many of whom plan to get their green card once they get their education....
China is mad again cause not be able to COPY this one no matter how hard they have tried.
China has no business commenting on U.S, "Internal Matters".
And yet, Obama collects donations in China. Seems that some people there do have a vested interest in the US election.
Obama.com Purchased By An Obama Bundler In Shanghai, China With Questionable Business Ties to State-Run Chinese Enterprises: In 2008, Obama.com was purchased by an Obama fundraiser living in Shanghai, China, whose business is heavily dependent on relationships with Chinese state-run television and other state-owned entities.
How many of Romney's investements are in CHINA too?? Both indirectly and indirectly??
@ Elduba: I wish Romney would have mentioned GE. Immelt, the Jobs Czar is also the CEO of GE. Last year, GE closed a 100 year old X-ray machine making plant in WI, and moved the plant to China. To add insult to injury, they also said that they would develop the area with $2 billion in investment to help train the high tech workers that would be needed to operate the plant.
Yet the current administration's "jobs czar" who is supposed to develop ways for the the current administration to keep jobs in America, is a leader in exporting jobs overseas. And by the way, GE paid no corporate taxes last year either. So much for bashing Romney when Obama is not looking in the mirror at his own administration.
Wow...serious China-bashing and aggression here. Yet it's the US Navy that is patrolling China's seas, NOT China that is sending ships and subs to the US coasts. If some Chinese were to say such things about the US, the result would be widespread condemnation. Frankly, it's time for China to trade with the BRICs and the EU, forget about the US and Japan. The US and Japan can do without cheap Chinese labor and Chinese products.
China has no business commenting on U.S, "Internal Matters".
Even when it is bashing China??
You're one of those who insist that Yasukuni Shrine has nothing to do with China and Korea, I guess worshiping Hitler in Germany will have nothing to do with Jews who live outside Germany.
Qwerty2012: Yet it's the US Navy that is patrolling China's seas,
The U.S. Navy is in international waters. Unless of course, we should believe what China says, all of Asia is owned by China.
China is also saying Okinawa is theirs because some Okinawan emperor paid tributes to China at one point in time. The point that tributes were also paid to Japan doesn't seem to matter for China.
As far as the U.S.' attitude towards China, we don't care about the country. But we do care about artificially pegged exchange rates. Sure, the rates have been allowed to float a little, but the Chinese economy would crap out if the exchange rate were really based on the market value.
If any one speak about China then China say shut up this is our internal matter. Now look what they are doing with other countries... China pays lot of money to communist in Asian countries to play for them. If China feel not comfortable with the bully view by other Asian countries and the world then Change your attitudes. Be a civilized in dealing with other countries in the world.
As far as the U.S.' attitude towards China, we don't care about the country.
I would say that you do not speak for the US government nor the entire population of America. So, who is "we?"
it's just all pre-election rhetoric. everything will be back to normal/status-quo, once the election is over. the u.s. will always need a public enemy #1. it's good for business & politics. post ww2, it was the soviet union...in the 1980s, it was japan...now it's china. who knows, maybe in another 25 years or so, it'll be canada or mexico.
LOL I really wonder if Romney will keep his promise on creating tariffs on Chinese products and even start a trade war with them if he actually becomes president. That'll lead us further down to another Cold war...
China simply wants to make the so called " international laws" into " laws made in China, by China , for China". The worst thing is they believe that they have or will have muscles and justification to back it up.
At least U.S. has candidates to choose from. What does China have? Chinese people do not have anything to choose from.
@ globalwatch
"US will shift business strategyand focus.....and China knows that and being threaten"
Are you serious or you are making a comment with tongue and cheek Most of the South American Countries do not regard US highly due to US meddling into their domestic Affairs.
At least U.S. has candidates to choose from. What does China have? Chinese people do not have anything to choose from.
hope either candidates is a good choice, after spending a combine US$2 billion running for president.
So the CCP wants to have an opinion on the US and the choices of it's citizens, yet the CCP does not allow its own citizens to have an opinion or choice in their government.
Its just so easy to bash China, because the CCP helped to make it that way.
Tuntematon Sotilas
"Willing or not, Democratic or Republican, the next US president shall have to tone down his get-tough-on-China rhetoric made along the campaign trail,"
Is this an order?
I mean, China owns a lot of American debt (not as much as people make it out to be, only about 8%) but that doesn't give them the authority to command our political process. China manipulates its currency, furthering even more the advantage they have over the rest of the global market.

In September, following the publication of its Green Claims Code the CMA put businesses on notice - they have until the New Year to make sure their environmental claims comply with the law. The ASA, who has been simultaneously reviewing the effectiveness of its own rules in governing environmental claims, has promised to be more proactive in tackling misleading green claims.
The ASA's proactivity is evidenced this week by a ruling in which the ASA upheld a claim against plant-based product manufacturer Alpro. The ad in question was for Alpro's plant based milk and yoghurt products and was seen on the side of a bus this time last year. The complainant challenged the ads' claims that almond milk was 'Good for the Planet' given the known environmental damage caused by commercial almond farming.
Alpro responded to the ASA stating that consumers would understand the wider context of the claims in the ad and in particular the notion that plant based products had a lower environmental impact the equivalent dairy-based products. Alpro stated that "shifting towards more plant-based diets was widely recognised as a way to lower the carbon footprint of the agri-food sector".
Despite this, the ASA upheld the complaint on the grounds that the CAP Code requires the basis of environmental claims to be clear. In this case, while Alpro provided analysis to demonstrate the environmental impact of two of the products featured in the ad it did not provide an assessment of the environmental impact of the third product. The claim 'Good for the Planet' in the context of this ad could be interpreted in more than one way and there was ambiguity as to what was intended by the claim. The ASA concluded that the basis of the claim, 'Good for the Planet', was unclear and the ad was therefore deemed to be misleading.
This ruling serves as a reminder that:
- greenwashing is the new hot topic for regulators - businesses beware, the regulation around this is only going to get more stringent and the resulting scrutiny more damaging (for more on this see my colleague Caroline Greenwell's recent article Don't Spin the Greenwashing, Caroline Greenwell (charlesrussellspeechlys.com); and
- when considering advertising copy remember, each and every environmental claim in an ad must be qualified - not giving regard to the wider context or overall message of the ad.
the CAP Code required that the basis of environmental claims must be clear and that unqualified claims could mislead if they omit significant information.

It would be great to hear your views, be the first to comment.
Our ethical and environmental promise is at the heart of what we do. It's not just about creating the perfect white t-shirt (although we have to admit, that is our goal too). We're committed to responsible and sustainable manufacturing. So this month, with World Earth Day taking place on 22nd April and Fashion Revolution on 24th April, our focus is on transparency. Starting with our environmental promise.
We're not about to start preaching about climate change. We just believe that everyone can do their bit. It's not about completely overhauling your lifestyle. It's about adopting more responsible habits as a consumer, which means thinking more about the impact of your actions on the environment. It can't help to do a little more to look after the world we live in. And while it may be a little biased, we think there's no better way than by starting with everyone's wardrobe staple: your white t-shirt. Like making a simple shift to buying organic cotton t-shirts instead of cheaply produced, low quality ones.
Our t-shirts are all GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified, which requires strict environmental and social responsibility from seed to delivery. Meaning every step of our manufacturing and production is monitored for its impact on the environment. From our handpicked cotton buds, to the way our yarn is spun and t-shirts constructed. Every little step of the way, we're making sure we do our bit to look after the environment. Limiting the damage we cause by ensuring that our t-shirts are put together in the most environmentally friendly and pollutant free way. And that's even down to our thread!
Using such a high quality materials means that your t-shirt fits perfectly, feels luxuriously soft, and with the right care can last a lifetime. While it may cost you a little more than a mass produced, high street tee (with dubious supply chains), we promise that it's worth it. First of all because it will last you longer. And secondly, you'll be safe in the knowledge that you've invested in moving towards more responsible manufacturing and becoming more eco-friendly.

JOHN HUMPHRYS (Comment, last week) writes that the Americans would not touch TB vaccine (BCG), but it seems to do the trick here. It does not.
BCG, the most used vaccine in the world since it was introduced more than 50 years ago, has made no difference to TB in countries which rely solely on it to halt its spread. It has never been claimed to prevent TB, but even the evidence of its protectiveness is patchy and historical. And there have been no studies of its effectiveness in the past three decades.
It may leave an ugly scar and, indeed, do more harm than good. Further, as TB, with rare exceptions, is largely a disease of the elderly in the Western world, vaccinating children makes sense
TB in Britain is a legacy of its empire. As long as people from third world countries come and settle here, there cannot be a let-up in its spread.
People who come from high prevalence countries will continue to harbour TB germs in their bodies until they die.
The World Health Organisation has set its face against vaccination and routine screening. It advocates effective disease management early diagnosis and supervised treatment to contain it and avoid its spread to the host community. Vaccination wastes resources, gives false hope and distracts attention from what needs to be done.

(00:00) to (02:00)
Today is a really big day here at the for because we finally finished building our brand-new observatory. Now we can learn even more cool stuff about space. Let's fire up the new telescope, Squeaks.
*Squeaks squeaks*
Ah, you're right, Squeaks. It does look a little bit blurry. While Squeaks and I fix the focus on our telescope, check out this episode for a refresher on what stars are and why they shine.
If you're like us here at the fort, you probably enjoy stargazing. The night sky is full of cool things to look at and I bet a lot of you have been looking up there and wondering about the same things that we do. We've gotten some really interesting questions from kids like you about what you see up there.
Eight-year-old Alice from New Zealand has been doing some sky-watching and she recently emailed to ask us, "What are stars and how do they work?" Let me just say that's a stellar question. If you look up at the night sky all the stars that you see might look pretty similar, but don't let your eyes fool you. All of those stars have some important things in common, but they're also all different. They can be different colors like white, yellow, red, and blue. They can also be different sizes from about the size of a planet to something many, many times bigger than the Sun.
But before we meet some of the extreme stars, let's figure something out first: what exactly is a star? Stars are just really huge balls of hot gas in space, and deep in their centers, all stars are constantly generating an enormous amount of energy. This energy eventually travels out from the center of the star where it's given off as heat and light. That's what gives stars their glow. So keeping in mind that all stars are balls of gas that come in all kinds of sizes and colors, wanna meet some for yourself?
Let's start with the most important star, at least for us here on Earth, the Sun. That's right the Sun is a star, and it's a specific kind of star called a yellow dwarf. While we think of our Sun as being super huge and incredibly hot, which it definitely is, compared
(02:00) to (04:00)
to Earth, it's actually pretty average compared to other stars, meaning it's right in the middle between the biggest and the smallest and the hottest and the coolest stars. So, there are some stars that are much bigger than the sun, and way hotter. If you want to find one, just look for the constellation known as Orion. It's one of the easiest constellations to spot. If you look down to the right, to the star where Orion's knee is supposed to be, you'll find Rigel. Rigel is a good example of a kind of star called a blue super giant. As you can guess from its name, it's blue instead of yellow, and it's enormous. Rigel is more than twice as hot as the sun and is also more than 70 times bigger.
If you could put the sun next to Rigel, our big old sun would look like a tiny speck. And, in addition to all of the huge, hot stars in the sky, there are plenty of smaller, cooler ones, too. The smallest and coolest stars in space tend to glow with a dim, red color. And the sun is more than twice as hot as most of them. A good example of this kind of star is right next door, at least in terms of space.
Promixa Centauri is the nearest star to our sun and is a kind called a red dwarf. It'd in the constellation Centaurus in the southern sky, but even thought it's closer to the sun than any other star, it's so small that you can't even see it from earth without a telescope. How small is it? Well, you could fit 7 Promixma Centauris inside the sun, from end to end. So while you're stargazing on th next clear night, keep in mind that the stars might look pretty much the same, but now you know they come in different colors and sizes, a lot like we do.
Okay, we're ready to go now. What should we look at first, Squeaks?
*squeak, squeak*
Mars, huh? You got it!
Whoa, check it out! There are 8 planets in the solar system. Some of them, like mars, are what we call rocky planets. Check out this episode to learn more.
Hi guys! Welcome back to the fort. Today, Squeaks and I thought we'd do a little sight seeing using our telescope. We're gonna tour our solar system. the solar system is made up of the sun, the earth, and 7 other planets.
(04:00) to (06:00)
Plus lots of dust, big rocks, gas and other stuff. All of that stuff over and over it's so huge that only 1 spacecraft so far has ever flown from the earth all the way to the edge of the solar system is called what about the size of a small car the plane that went into over 35 years it's so big that they were just going to cover half of it I'm keeping my little boys all that time even the sun is there right at the centre of the action the sun is a star like a monster is it a huge Ball Super orgasm gives off light and heat without the sun or earth would be a dark frozen world with no life but isn't the closest planet to the sun Mercury the smallest of the size of the Earth Mercury biggest changes in temperature of any of the Planets you can go from a superchillin 7 degrees below zero 25 degrees Celsius during the day even more extreme and Venus brightest planet in our solar system Manchester sunset at night or just before when it Rises in the morning we sent probes to Venus take pictures to they show us that the planet is Rocky and covered with thick cloud but doesn't have any is extremely hot even though it's not the closest to the sun temperatures reading is high for 160 degrees Celsius the next planet 93 million
(06:00) to (08:00)
miles from the Sun and it takes 365 days, our year, for the Earth to orbit the Sun and Earth is unlike any other planet in our solar system for at least two reasons. Number one, it's the only planet that we know for sure has liquid water on its surface and number two, it's the only planet that we know has life. No other planets in the solar system have plants or animals or any living things on them. Earth, you rock.
Now let's move on to our last stop for today. It's time for a mission to Mars. Mars' nickname is the Red Planet. That's because Mars has a lot of minerals on its surface that give it a unique reddish color. Mars is sorta similar to the planet that we live on. The length of a day on Mars is almost the same as a day on Earth. It's just about 40 minutes longer and Mars even has some ice on it, frozen at its north pole, but as far as we know, there's no liquid water anywhere on Mars because it's so cold. Mars also has mountains and canyons like Earth. In fact, it's home to the solar system's biggest volcano. Scientists have named it Olympus Mons and it's nearly three times larger than Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth.
Clearly the solar system is an amazing place full of different worlds with all kinds of extreme environments, and we've only covered four planets so far, and those four planets all have one thing in common: they're all solid worlds with hard rocky surfaces that, if you ever went there, you could stand on. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are what we call rocky planets. Okay, Squeaks, it's my turn. I wanna check out Jupiter.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It's what we call a gas giant. While rocky planets are made up of, well, rock, gas giants are mostly made of lots of gas swirling around.
Welcome back. If you were with us last time, then you got to join Squeaks and me on the first half of our tour of our amazing solar system. The solar system is the Sun and all the things that orbit around it. The biggest of these are our eight planets. Last time, we started with the star at the middle of our solar system, the Sun, and we stopped by for visits to Mercury, the smallest planet, followed by Venus, which is the hottest planet, then our home, Earth, the only planet that we know that has living things on it, and finally, Mars.
(08:00) to (10:00)
Those four planets are the only rocky planets in our solar system. That means that they have hard rocky surfaces and if you could fly there, you could actually stand on them, but way out beyond Mars, you'll find a totally different kind of planet, ones that are made almost completely out of gas. Scientists call these the 'gas giants' and the first one we'll bump into is also by far the biggest planet in our solar system: Jupiter. This planet is made up entirely of thick layers of gas, and it's so big that Earth could fit into it more than 1,300 times over. It even has more than 60 moons of its own. Jupiter is also a very stormy planet with wild winds whipping all over, all the time. One storm, called the great red spot, has been raging on Jupiter for hundreds of years. The storm sometimes gets smaller or bigger but it has been there for as long as people have been studying Jupiter with telescopes. See you later, storm.
Our next planet, Saturn, is also really, really big and made of gas, but you can tell it apart from Jupiter and other gas giants because of its big beautiful rings. Actually, all four of the gas giants have rings around them, but most of them are so small and faint that it's hard to see them, but Saturn has the biggest and the brightest rings and they might look fancy, but they're really just made of dust, rocks, and ice, and even though Saturn is really big, it's also very light. Some scientists think that because the gases that make it up are so lightweight, the whole planet would actually be able to float in water. If only we could find a bathtub big enough.
Saturn is the furthest planet from the Earth that you can actually see with your own eyes. You'll need a telescope to spot our next gas giant: Uranus. Unlike all the other planets in our solar system, Uranus spins on its side. Nobody's exactly sure why, but it could be that a large object smashed into the planet a long time ago and knocked it sideways. Besides moving differently, Uranus is also a lot colder than the other planets and is sometimes called an ice giant. It has reached the coldest temperature ever measured in our solar system, dipping almost as low as 223 degrees below zero.
(10:00) to (12:00)
Oh, brr! But it's not getting much warmer where we're headed. Come on squeaks, let's find our last gas giant: Neptune. Neptune is the furthest planet from the sun. It could take up to 12 years to fly to Neptune from Earth. And neptune takes a really long time to orbit the sun. Over 160 earth years to go around a singe time. But it has at least one thing in common with its big brother, Juptiter: it aso has giant storms swirling on it. Scientists caed one of these storms the Great Dark Spot, because it looks like a big blotch of dark bue. And this storm was fierce. Scientists think that the winds inside the storm were the strongest, fastest winds anywhere in our solar system. But this storm didn't ast as long as the one on Jupiter. The last time astronomers pointed their telescopes at the great dark spot to take a picture of it, it had dissapeared. But a new storm has formed on another part of the planet. Whoo! That was an awesome trip. Now we've seen all of the panets in our solar system. But what else is out there? Plenty!
Those rocky planets and gas giants are just a few of the things in our massive solar system. It also has asteroids and comets and other small worlds made of dust and ice and almost certainly tons of other things scientists haven't even discovered yet. So far, we've been looking at things in the solar system but there's way more stuff out there to see. Our sun is just one of billions of stars all clustered together in what we call the Milky Way galaxy and there are even more galaxies beyond that and even more beyond that.
You and I have talked a lot about space, haven't we? We've learned about stars, we found out all about comets and asteroids, and we can even name all eight of the planets in our solar system, but have you ever thought about what's beyond our solar system? The sun is just a star after all, and it, along with us and all the other planets, aren't just floating around in space all by ourselves. Oh no. Our solar system is part of something much, much bigger: a galaxy.
A galaxy is a huge bunch of stars that are clustered together in space, and the galaxy that our solar system is part of is called the Milky Way.
(12:00) to (14:00)
The Milky Way is full of stars. How many? Well, do you know how much a thousand is? A thousand looks like this, and if you take a thousand and multiply it by a thousand and multiply it by a thousand again, that number is a billion, and there are billions of stars just in the Milky Way alone. In fact, there are so many stars in the Milky Way that we still don't know exactly how many there are, but scientists think that many of the other stars in our galaxy probably have planets of their own, and the Milky Way isn't the only galaxy.
Astronomers who study deep distant space have found other galaxies, too. More than you could count! To organize and study all of these galaxies, astronomers usually group them into three main types, depending on thier shape. There are spiral galaxies, elliptical galaxies, and irregular galaxies. Spiral galaxies are in the shape of a pinwheel. They have that shape because stars in a spiral galaxy are clumped into lines that curl outward. These lines are called spiral arms, and the galaxy that you and I are in right now, the Milky Way galaxy, is a spiral galaxy.
Now, some spiral galaxies are just flat like a pancake, but other spirals, including our own Milky Way, have a large bulge in the midlde that's made up of a big bunch of stars. The stars in the bulge are usually older stars, while younger stars are often found on the outer spiral arms of the galaxy. Astronomers even know where our star, the sun, is in the Milky Way. If you were way, way out in space, floating above our galaxy and looked down at it, you'd find the Sun right about here, near the middle of one of the spiral arms.
Now, another common kind of galaxy is called an elliptical galaxy. Elliptical galaxies are shaped like an ellipse, or an egg shape and instead of being flat with a bulge in the middle, these galaxies are all bulge. They tend to have mostly older stars in them and stars in an elliptical galaxy are really close together, which makes the middle of the galaxy look like one giant bright star.
(14:00) to (16:00)
The last common type of galaxy is an irregular galaxy. Irreguar means not regular, and these kinds of galaxies don't have a definite regular shape. Instead, these clusters of stars can take all kinds of different shapes, like this or this or even this. There are tons of other galaxies out there to learn about and scientists are discovering new ones all the time. So the next time you're out at night, gazing at the sky, remember that you and the Earth and the whole solar system are part of something bigger: a galaxy.
Whoa. The universe is a big place, and people are just getting started exploring it. That's right, Squeaks, there are astronauts orbiting the Earth right now, doing experiments and studying what happens when you live in Space.
My jobs is pretty great. I get to learn about amazing animals and places and do fun experiments with all of you and you know another job that seems really great? You might even say it's out of this world? Being an astronaut! Astronauts are people who travel and work in space. Going to space seems like a big adventure and it is, but that's not why astronauts go to space, at least, it's not the main reason.
Astronauts go to space so they can learn more about what's beyond our planet. They spend weeks, months, or even a whole year away from their friends and family to study space in person. Then, they come back home and share their new knowledge with all of us. Do you want to go to space? If you do, maybe you wanna know exactly what it takes to be an astronaut, and what they do up there all day before you sign up. Let's find out what it takes to be an astronaut.
The fact is, practically anybody can become an astronaut. You don't even have to be a certain age. You just have to have a few main things under your belt. For one thing, you have to have studied science in college, which means you pretty much have to be a grown up or a young adult.
(16:00) to (18:00)
You also have to have spent some time, specifically three years, actually doing the science that you've studied. That's because most astronauts are actually scientists, and there are all kinds of scientists who work in space, some of which we've talked about before, like biologists or astronomers or chemists. Finally, to be an astronaut, you have to go through a special physical check-up because living in space, where you're always floating around in low gravity and in a crowded spacecraft, can be really hard on your body, so everyone wants to make sure you're healthy enough to do it. But that's it! Thousands of people sign up to become astronauts, but only a very few are actually chosen to go on a mission. After years of training, those lucky few finally get sent to space where they have some really important jobs to do.
What kinds of jobs are there? Well, some astronauts are pilots. Their job is to get the spacecraft where it needs to go safely. They're also in charge of getting the craft back to Earth. Astronauts that aren't pilots are called mission specialists and they perform a lot of different jobs. One of those jobs is to work with the pilots to keep the spacecraft and equipment working. This means they inspect the spacecraft and its different parts every day to make sure everything is doing just what it's supposed to do.
Another job for mission specialists is doing experiments where scientists try different things to see what happens. Many of those experiments are done in the International Space Station or ISS. The ISS is in orbit around the Earth and was built for astronauts to work and live in for long periods of time. Some of the experiments that have been done on the space station have been things like growing zucchinis to see how vegetables grow in space. Other scientists have looked at how different animals like flies or even squids get used to life in space.
Another important job astronauts do is to help launch satellites. These are machines that fly in orbit around the Earth and they can do all sorts of things like take pictures of the Earth or help us know what the weather's going to be like or send signals for television and radio. Now, most of the time astronauts do their jobs inside the space station or their spacecraft, but for some jobs, astronauts have to suit up and go for a spacewalk.
(18:00) to (19:33)
A spacewalk is when an astronaut leaves the spacecraft to do their job outside, in space, and is one of the toughest jobs that astronauts do. Astronauts do spacewalks when they need to fix or build something on the outside of the spacecraft and to do that, they have to wear special spacesuits. There's no air in space and it's really, really cold, so these special suits protect the astronauts from the cold and give them air to breathe. They're also protected by being tethered or tied to the spacecraft by a long cable that keeps them from floating away.
Being an astronaut sounds like hard work, but you get to see a planet from space and conduct awesome experiments and work on cool technology every day, and even go for spacewalks. So what do you think? Do you want to be an astronaut? Keep learning as much as you can about space and science and who knows? One day, it might be you up there!
Thanks for joining us today and a big thank you to our Patrons on Patreon for helping us build our observatory. Squeaks and I are going to get to work learning lots of new stuff about space to share with you. If you have any questions about space, planets, astronauts, or anything else in our great big galaxy, grab a grown-up to help you leave a comment down below, or send us an email to email@example.com. Thanks, and we'll see you next time here at the fort.

ith Pokémon Go, Niantic has proven that Pokémon has the ability to stand the test of time.
Best Games Played 2016
These games and awards were decided during the Wardcast's Best Games Played 2016 episode, where we considered any and all games played by the members of the Wardcast in 2016, even if they weren't released that calendar year.
When the original Pokéfans were children, they'd play pretend Pokémon by going outside, turning their baseball caps backwards, and throwing plastic Pokéballs into tall grass to catch invisible animals. Now, Niantic has created a novel approach that combines location-based presence and alternate reality to rekindle that childhood magic.
The summer of 2016 will be remembered as the summer of Pokémon Go. As the game slowly took over the world, folks started to explore parts of their cities, towns, and neighborhoods that otherwise went overlooked. It became an opportunity to meet people you otherwise wouldn't talk to, and it encouraged people to be more active as they flocked to parks and piers.
The zeitgeist of everyone on the street trying to be a Pokémon Master may have already passed, but the narrative of Pokémon has always been a much more personal journey. It's about you, your team, and the bonds you've created, and Niantic has captured the physicality of that narrative better than any other Pokémon game that has come before it.
