Send us a textMidori Koyama ObituaryMidori was born in West Torrence, California on Dec., 27, 1930 to Masaichiro Marumoto and Asako Okuda.  Midori was raised in Southern California until age 11 at which time she and her family moved to Utah as part of the voluntary evacuation “option” of Executive Order 9066 during World War II.  After moving to Utah she attended schools in the Clearfield and Layton, UT area and graduated from Davis High School in Ogden, UT in 1950.  She attended Weber State College and worked at Hill Air Force Base.Midori's father was a judo instructor in the Ogden area.  At her father's judo dojo annual tournament in 1960 she saw George Koyama, a judo instructor from Nampa, eating lunch.   She grabbed the teapot out of her mother's hand and walked over to serve him tea and the rest as they say is history.  They were married in 1962 at which time Midori moved to Nampa where she and George set up their home and started a family.One of Midori's passions was supporting education and working with children.  She began working for the Nampa School District in 1970 and worked at Lincoln, Kenwood & Centennial elementary schools.  Midori was part of the inaugural staff of Centennial school when it opened in 1976 and worked there until her retirement in 2004.  She served as an instructional aide and librarian during her 28 year career at Centennial.  At one point as librarian at Centennial she got the idea of selling pencils and origami cranes to raise money to buy books for the library.  The idea was so successful she continued and expanded her product line.  Kids at the school would save up their coins to make a purchase at “Mrs. Koyama's School Store” every week.  While no official tally exists, she raised thousands of dollars used to purchase books for the library.  Because of that work and her dedication, a section of the Centennial School library was dedicated in 1995 as “Mrs. Koyama's Book Garden” an honor in which she took great pride.  She volunteered at Centennial after retirement and continued to raise money for the school through her store.Another passion of Midori's was sharing and educating others about Japanese culture and the experiences of the Japanese Americans during WWII.  Before leaving California Midori's father, in fear of retribution and racism, piled many of the family's Japanese possessions in a heap to be burned.  Midori secretly pulled a favorite story book of historic Japanese heroes and hid it inside her belongings and took it to Utah unbeknownst to anyone in the family.  Perhaps spurred by that and other similar childhood experiences she wanted pass along her culture and experiences to future generations.  For many summers she held Japanese language classes for local area children.  She also presented information to many local school classes about her WWII relocation experience.Midori passed away due to a brief and sudden illness on Sunday, June 12, 2011.  She is survived by her husband, George.  She is also survived by her son John, daughter-in-law Joyce, and 3 grandchildren - Kristina, Jackie and Mason Koyama all from Sacramento, CA.  Her surviving brother and sisters are Hiroki Marumoto of Layton, UT; Yukari “Vicky” Mikesell of Belmont, CA; Bill Marumoto of Westminster, CA and Seiko Kikuta of Eugene, OR.  She was preceded in death by her parents.                Support the show

Send us a textRanked Choice Voting (RCV) is an electoral system in which voters rank candidates by preference (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) rather than voting for a single candidate. If no candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first choices is eliminated, and votes for that candidate are transferred to voters' next choices. This process continues until a candidate earns more than 50% of the vote.Benefits of RCV over Popular Vote or Electoral College:Greater voter representation: RCV ensures that the winner reflects a majority preference, which may better represent the will of the voters. It helps to prevent a candidate from winning with only a small plurality in a multi-candidate race.Reduces “spoiler” effect: In traditional voting systems, third-party or less popular candidates can split votes, leading to a winner that doesn't have majority support. With RCV, voters can rank their true preference without fear of "wasting" a vote, since their secondary choices still count if their first choice is eliminated.Discourages negative campaigning: Candidates benefit from being ranked second or third by opponents' supporters. This can promote more civil and cooperative campaigning, as candidates seek broader appeal beyond their core base.Greater choice: Voters can express support for a wider range of candidates without the pressure to “strategically” choose only between the frontrunners. This allows for more diverse candidates, including independents and third-party contenders.Addresses gerrymandering: While RCV doesn't directly combat gerrymandering (the manipulation of district boundaries), it can make races in gerrymandered districts more competitive by ensuring winners have broader support, potentially mitigating its effects.In conclusion, Ranked Choice Voting can offer a more representative, inclusive, and fair system of voting compared to both the popular vote and Electoral College models. However, its adoption at a national level would require considerable legal, political, and logistical changes.Support the show

Send us a textInteresting Article: Pew Research Center: Voter Turnout 2018-2022The average lifespan in the USA varies slightly based on demographic factors, but as of the most recent data (2021), the overall life expectancy is approximately 76 years (73 for males and 79 for females). This is slightly lower than in previous years, partially due to the COVID-19 pandemic.Presidential ElectionsIn the U.S., presidential elections occur every 4 years. Assuming someone lives for about 76 years, they would have the potential to experience approximately 19 presidential elections during their lifetime.However, the actual number depends on when the person becomes eligible to vote (at age 18). So if someone turns 18 and lives to 76, they could participate in around 15 presidential elections.Midterm ElectionsIn addition to presidential elections, there are midterm elections every 2 years, which take place halfway through each presidential term. In a lifetime of 76 years, an individual could potentially participate in about 29 midterm elections, starting from age 18.In summary, an American voter can potentially participate in around 15 presidential elections and 29 midterm elections in an average lifetime, along with numerous state and local elections.As of recent data, there were approximately 168 million registered voters in the U.S. during the 2020 general election, out of a total eligible population of around 239 million people. Voter registration and turnout fluctuate slightly from election to election.Here's an overview of voter turnout in major elections from 2016 to 2022:2016 Presidential Election: About 60% of the voting-eligible population cast ballots (around 138 million voters).2018 Midterm Elections: The turnout surged to 50% of eligible voters, which was unusually high for a midterm.2020 Presidential Election: The voter turnout was historic, with 66.8% of the eligible population voting (about 158 million voters).2022 Midterm Elections: The turnout was lower than in 2020 but still high for a midterm, with around 47% of eligible voters participating.Why Doesn't Every Eligible Person Vote?Several factors contribute to why many eligible voters do not cast ballots:Disengagement or Apathy: Some people feel disillusioned with the political system, believing their vote won't make a difference or they don't trust political institutions.Barriers to Voting: Obstacles like strict voter ID laws, long wait times at polling places, or difficulty in accessing absentee ballots can prevent people from voting.Lack of Awareness: Some eligible voters may not know how to register, where to vote, or miss key deadlines.Scheduling Conflicts: Election Day falls on a Tuesday, a workday, which can make it hard for some to find time to vote, especially if they lack paid time off.Voter Suppression: In some areas, certain policies or practices might be seen as restricting access to voting for certain groups (e.g., gerrymandering, polling place closures).Felony Disenfranchisement: Many states restrict voting riVoiceovers by Molly, LLCVoiceovers by Molly, LLC - She wants to collaborate with you!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

He played a major role in developing leaded gasoline (tetraethyl lead) and some of the first chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), better known in the United States by the brand name Freon; both products were later banned from common use due to their harmful impact on human health and the environment. He was granted more than 100 patents over the course of his career.Midgley contracted polio in 1940 and was left disabled; in 1944, he was found strangled to death by a device he devised to allow him to get out of bed unassisted. It was reported to the public that he had been accidentally killed by his own invention, but his death was declared by the coroner to be a suicide.Read More about Thomas Midgley Jr.Interesting Video: The Man Who Accidentally Killed The Most People In HistorySPONSOR THIS PODCAST Podcasting takes time and money.

Florida's HB 1557, also known as the 'Don't Say Gay' bill, should never have passed and should never have been signed into lawPublic school teachers in Florida are banned from holding classroom instruction about sexual orientation or gender identity after Florida's Gov. Ron DeSantis, a Republican, signed the controversial "Parental Rights in Education" bill. The law states: "Classroom instruction by school personnel or third parties on sexual orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade 3 or in a manner that is not age appropriate or developmentally appropriate for students in accordance with state standards." Parents would be able to sue districts over violations.DeSantis said teaching kindergarten-aged kids that "they can be whatever they want to be" was "inappropriate" for children. DeSantis and other Republicans have repeatedly described the rules as reasonable, saying children should learn about sexual orientation and gender identity from their parents, not in schools."We will make sure that parents can send their kids to school to get an education, not an indoctrination," the governor said when he signed it into law.--Legal Challenge--The challenge filed in federal court in Tallahassee on behalf of Equality Florida and Family Equality alleges that the law violates the constitutionally protected rights of free speech, equal protection and due process of students and families."This effort to control young minds through state censorship — and to demean LGBTQ lives by denying their reality — is a grave abuse of power," the lawsuit says."The United States Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that LGBTQ people and their families are at home in our constitutional order. The State of Florida has no right to declare them outcasts, or to treat their allies as outlaws, by punishing schools where someone dares to affirm their identity and dignity," the lawsuit says.The law deliberately employs broad terms and invites arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement, empowering parents to be roving censors who can sue school boards for damages based on any perceived violation, the lawsuit adds.Many critics have said the law's language, particularly the phrases "classroom instruction" and "age appropriate," could be interpreted so broadly that discussion in any grade could trigger lawsuits, creating a classroom atmosphere where teachers would avoid the subjects entirely.Source: https://www.npr.org/2022/04/01/1090211332/dont-say-gay-law-florida-lawsuit-desantis Youtube: "Florida Teacher Speaks About Passage Of 'Don't Say Gay' Bill" https://youtu.be/QTTSWpjt7TA Youtube: "How Florida's ‘Don't Say Gay' Bill Could Impact The LGBTQ Community" https://youtu.be/W_ejiqpr1uMSPONSOR THIS PODCAST Podcasting takes time and money.

Scott Yenor made some statements about his opposing views towards feminism in America. This man is a college professor who stands against higher education ideals like colleges and universities, yet has personally and financially benefited from such an organization, Boise State University in Boise, ID. This first clip is from November 01, 2021 and is Scott Yenor's address at the second national conservatism conference.Watch original video:Scott Yenor: The Family Form That Nations Need - National Conservatism Conference IIThe second clip is a video response on Scott Yenor's twitter account made on November 30, 2021 Watch original video: Scott Yenor responds to outrage on previous statementsFamily is important, but a family cannot exist in today's landscape simply on a prayer or faith. Every person has a purpose. Men can stay at home, women can stay at home, as long as they can afford to do so; keeping a roof over the heads of their loved ones. Do we deserve a future in support of feminism? Is the lack of COVID-19 health practices part of the desire to purge human life as punishment by the radical conservative christian right?Perhaps the lack of confidence in the future is the reckless re-population of this planet? The unchecked proliferation of natural and finite resources?"Soy boys" a slang phrase to call plant-based and environmentally conscientious men "weak" in the eyes of artery clogged masculine men who are preparing to die prematurely of a massive heart attack; men who are scared to question the old ways and adapt to the knowledge of today and sustainability of tomorrow.Misogyny is "dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained prejudice against women."Feminism is "the advocacy of women's rights on the basis of the equality of the sexes."  Voiceovers by Molly, LLC Voiceovers by Molly, LLC - She wants to collaborate with you!Support the show (https://venmo.com/everettpodcast)

My dad passed away following a 6 year battle against stage 4 congestive heart failure and colon cancer. He outlived the longest timelines of both terminal diagnoses by at least a year. This episode is a eulogy written by Everett McConnaughey as well as a life sketch written by his sister Neva McConnaughey. We promise it's uplifting, inspiring, and positive; but it might make you teary.Contribute to Memorial Park Bench FundOne thing Larry always requested was that we never mourn where he died but celebrate where he lived. In lieu of flowers, we'd appreciate donations to help with dedicating a park bench in his honor. He loved the mountains and we could not think of a more perfect way to remember him by then creating a spot we can visit and reflect. Location and details to be determined.  https://everloved.com/life-of/larry-grensing/SPONSOR THIS PODCAST Podcasting takes time and money. Would you like to support this podcast?

Are you living paycheck to paycheck? Does the thought of managing your bills stress you out?You're not alone!Everett wants to share some personal advice that helped him go from $4,000 in credit card debt to 100% debt-free in just 4 years. Not only is Everett debt-free, but he also has enough savings to cover large emergencies and even borrow against that savings for purchases of high-cost items like a new phone.While Everett is certainly proud of his hard work, he is humble enough to know that not everyone can get the same results on their own, so he wants to share the mindset and thinking that helped yield a positive end goal.   Nearly 50% of the baby boomer generation does not have savings for retirement or emergencies. Everett's late grandfather instilled the wisdom to "invest as much as you can, as early as you can" and that advice has garnered financial stability for Everett and his husband.

Last week I openly promoted Visible Wireless as a great new option in affordable and transparent cellphone service. I have removed my past episode form public view because I had an experience that has left me uncomfortable suggesting services that are half-baked and faulty at best.I'm going back to T-Mobile, the original uncarrier and I'm going to be a post-pay customer again because all carriers treat low income or cost-minded prepay customers like garbage.Live in IDAHO?

This episode includes an honest real customer review of  Verizon, T-Mobile, and Visible Wireless, it is not paid for or endorsed by  Visible Wireless (by Verizon). This episode does mention a promotion code that is associated with Everett McConnaughey, as a regular paying customer, no compensation has been provided for the content or recording of this episode.The cellphone number that I have has been online and in my possession since 2005. In 2005 I was a junior in high school and had just gotten a Samsung flip phone on my father's wife's Verizon plan. Verizon's service has been amazing in Idaho for decades, and frequently is the only (if any at all) service that you can get in the central mountains. In 2012 I started working for Verizon Wireless as a tier II tech support agent, tasked with helping customers troubleshoot and fix device issues, and service problems. While I worked at Verizon I learned about their billing structure and how a phone plan was $60/month plus there was a $20 (basic phone) or $30 (smartphone) access fee that essentially allowed the customer's device to access the features of their account. I was upset with learning this, and I terminated service for $135 and took my phone to Cricket Wireless for 9 months, before joining T-Mobile in 2013.So much has changed with technology in nearly a decade, so much has improved, but in many ways so much hasn't. I was tired of paying $75 a month for unlimited service when I hardly ever used that service. I switched from a post-pay T-Mobile account to a prepay T-Mobile account in 2017 which lowered my cost in half while I still got all the features you expect with a wireless phone provider. When the 5G was rolled out in Boise in December 2020, I got a new iPhone 12 but the 5G was useless and I had to disable that radio on my phone to opt for 4G LTE service instead. I was finally tired of the boilerplate  "we'd love to help" responses to my frustration, and in August 2021 I decided to try Visible Wireless at $25 a month, with unlimited everything, and on Verizon's 5G network. I flew both carriers on my phone to test them in the situations and locations I frequented and by the end of my T-Mobile billing cycle, I had seen enough to port my number to its fourth carrier and join Visible Wireless. This podcast is my honest unsolicited and uncompensated review of Visible Wireless service, the activation, and porting process, as well as customer service. I am offering access to my "friend" code which will give anyone (and thus myself) service with Visible for just $5 that month. I'll discuss how easy it actually is to save with this network provider that you can live like a king even if you live alone or don't have a family to bring with you.Check out this page: https://www.visible.com/get/3t8jNs, it has all the info you need to know about joining Visible.

Do women have autonomy over their body? Texas and many others in the "pro life" spectrum seem to believe that women should be forced to carry a fetus to full term, and enter another human into the realm of life. If you're a bone marrow donor, you get to choose if you save someones life, if you're an organ donor you get to choose if your organs are used to save a life after you die or whether they can be used for scientific analysis and understanding. What if the government could force you to donate your body (alive or otherwise) to causes you may or may not support? What if someone could sue you for not giving up part of your body for their need or cause? We're truly in dangerous waters if we don't believe in individual freedoms and personal body autonomy.Convert Your VHS tapes to Digital Video Everett can save your VHS tapes digitally for you to enjoy today and share in the future.
