Astrophiz 215: Dr Ian Musgrave's June SkyGuide Summary: Mars close to thin crescent moon. Occultation of Antares behind the moon in the early evening sky. The moon comes close to some of the bright planets. … and Mars is close to the moon again at the end of the month. Moon Phases: June 3 ~ 1st Quarter Moon, and another time to catch the ‘Lunar X' late in the night, about 11pm for Australian Eastern states. 10:30 for central states and 9pm in the West. Lunar X Tip: take an image each 1/2 hour from moonrise. June 7 ~ Apogee, furthest from earth June 11 ~ Full Moon June 19 ~ Last Quarter Moon ~ ideal for stargazing June 23 ~ Perigee, closest to earth June 25 ~ New Moon ~ ideal for stargazing June 21 ~ Solstice: shortest day in Southern Hemisphere. longest day in Northern Hemisphere Evening Skies: Jupiter is lost into the twilight Mercury returns to evening skies mid-month, on the 27th it's 3°from the moon an hour after sunset, and will continue to be excellent until mid-July. Mars is low in the NW evening skies, and is still readily visible T Coronae Borealis is visible in late evening skies and still has not ‘Gone Nova' so the challenge is still … to capture a Nova before and after it blows! This Nova iswell ‘overdue' so all eyes are on it! Tuesday 10 June ~ The Occultation of Antares by the Moon is easily seen in binoculars and telescopes (for times, check Ian's Astroblogger website) Also June is a great opportunity to see The Dark Emu in the south, the Southern Cross and the magnificent globular cluster Omega Centauri is also at it's highest in the south. Morning Skies: Venus is furthest from the sun on 1 June, and is a half-moon shape in telescopes, and beside the crescent moon on 22 June Saturn is climbing higher in the morning sky, Scorpius is a feature in the dark morning sky in the east Saggitarius and the Heart of the Milky Way are also rising, a good opportunity to catch the Triffid and Lagoon nebulas in Saggitarius. Ian's 'Tangent' Ian discusses long-lived aspects of Indigenous astronomy like The Eagle, Stingray and Dark Emu, and how Western constellation names have changed over time. eg Argo was declared obsolete in 1930. Ian's Astrophotography Challenges: 1. Capture The Occultation of Antares on June 10th (almost full moon) 2. Then on a dark night with no moon, have a go at The Dark Emu, with your mobile phone/DSLR/camera, conveniently at 8pm in the south near Scorpius, the Pointers and the Southern Cross. Tips: Use your device's highest ISO (ASA) Under urban skies, take 10 x1second exposures, and stack them using a free stacking program or app. Under dark skies, you can take longer exposures If stacking in RAW, do a ‘dark frame' subtraction If stacking in JPEG, don't use dark frame subtraction.
What do you do when the life you built—the love, the plans, the future—gets ripped away without warning? When the person you were supposed to grow old with is taken, and you're left not only grieving but parenting through the pain? In this episode, Danny Lesslie opens up about walking through the darkest season of his life: losing his wife Raffe after a five-year battle with cancer. He doesn't hold back. Danny shares the raw truth about grief, fatherhood, and how the storm inside him became fuel for healing. If you've ever wrestled with loss, purpose, or the weight of simply showing up—this conversation will meet you right where you are.But Danny isn't here to tell a “poor me” story—he's here to serve. Named an Apogee honor man, Danny is a man of deep courage, faith, and conviction. He's turned pain into purpose, writing a book with God's presence through it all. What makes him uniquely powerful is his willingness to be seen—messy, broken, real—and still lead others forward. This isn't just a story of heartbreak. It's a story of hope, of what's possible when we choose to feel everything and use it to love deeper, lead better, and live fuller.Quotes:"All this that we're going to talk about today... I didn't come on here to give you a poor me thing. I came on here to serve you and speak light into this darkness." - Danny Lesslie"People are worth your effort. People are worth everything - your job, your trophies, your money, your house... all the things that we strive for are so hollow and they just go away." - Danny Lesslie"If you're not moving from purpose, you can't weather the storms that show up." - Danny LesslieTakeaways:Grief doesn't follow rules—so stop trying to manage it. Danny shows that healing begins not with control, but with surrender. Whether through writing, walking with a weighted vest, or just allowing himself to cry, he finds strength by facing the pain instead of avoiding it.Your pain can serve others—if you let it. Rather than hiding his story, Danny uses it to bring light into other people's darkness. His vulnerability becomes a gift, proving that being real is more powerful than being strong.Presence is everything. From being with his wife through her final days to parenting his kids alone, Danny reminds us that showing up—fully and honestly—is more impactful than having all the answers.Life will burn down—build anyway. Whether it's love, faith, or legacy, Danny challenges us to invest in what matters now, because everything we have is temporary. He turns loss into a call to live with fierce intention.Conclusion:This episode is a powerful reminder that even in the face of unimaginable loss, we have a choice—to go numb, or to feel deeply and move forward with purpose. Danny Lesslie's story is not just about grief; it's about resilience, love, and living with intention. His honesty, strength, and unwavering commitment to honoring his wife's legacy show us what it truly means to lead from the heart. If you're walking through darkness, let this conversation be a light. And if you're not, let it be your wake-up call to love harder, show up fully, and stop wasting time on things that don't matter.

What if education wasn't about grades or transcripts—but about becoming the kind of person who can figure it out? In this powerful and timely episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Matt Beaudreau returns for a second time to help launch Ginny Yurich's brand new book, Homeschooling: You're Doing It Right Just by Doing It, which he proudly endorsed. Together, they dismantle the conveyor belt model of schooling and offer a radically freeing alternative: when parents grow, kids grow. Matt shares stories of teens building real-world skills, chasing big goals, and thriving outside of traditional timelines—often without ever taking a test. He and Ginny explore meta-skills, modeling, self-reliance, boredom as a gift, and why success without peace is failure in disguise. This is not just a podcast episode—it's a rallying cry for parents to trust themselves, grow boldly, and reclaim childhood. ** Learn more about Apogee and all they have to offer here Get your copy of Homeschooling, You're Doing it Right Just by Doing It here Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Inside Golf Podcast, Andy sits down with Andrew Harvie, managing partner at Golf Club Atlas to discuss his two recent trips to Florida and Texas. They dive into the Florida private golf bubble and many of the exciting new developments in the Sunshine state, including Apogee, High Grove, the Ranch, Sandglass, Cabot Citrus Farms, and many others. Andrew then discusses his recent trip to Texas, which includes Childress Hall and Luling, two exciting new clubs from Tom Doak, Gil Hanse and Jim Wagner, and Kyle Franz that are set to rival the Oohoopee Model. They identify which of these new developments will shine and receive critical acclaim, and the question that I continue to ponder, is any of this good for the game of golf—being that all of the best architecture is matriculating at ultra private destination clubs that 99.9% of the golfing public will ever get to experience. Thanks for listening and subscribing to Inside Golf Podcast with Andy Lack, cheers!

Today, we're bringing back a special episode from our archives—Episode 16—in honor of a very special occasion. March 14, 2025, marks the 95th birthday of our company's founder, the legendary Alicia Cervera Sr. In this timeless episode, Alicia shares her 7 Keys to New Development Sales, insights that have shaped Miami's real estate landscape for decades. But before we dive in, let me introduce the woman who truly needs no introduction. Alicia Cervera Sr. is a Peruvian-American businesswoman, real estate broker, and philanthropist. As the founder and chairman of Cervera Real Estate, she's played a pivotal role in shaping Miami's skyline. Over the years, she's worked alongside industry titans like Harry Helmsley and Jorge M. Pérez and has been compared to Julia Tuttle for her profound impact on the city's development. Her story is one of vision, resilience, and determination. From her early days in Peru to her arrival in Miami in the 1960s, she recognized the city's potential long before it became the global hub it is today. She pioneered the model for new development sales and helped shape iconic projects like The Palace on Brickell, Apogee, St. Regis Bal Harbour, and Aston Martin Residences. Known as the Grand Lady of Real Estate and the Queen of Brickell, Alicia's contributions have been widely recognized—from a dedicated stretch of South Miami Avenue named in her honor to the South Florida Business Journal's Lifetime Achievement Award. Miami's skyline would not be what it is today without her vision. So, in celebration of her remarkable legacy, let's revisit one of our most valuable episodes. Here are Alicia Cervera Sr.'s 7 Keys to Selling New Developments. Guest: Alicia Cervera Sr. Host: Omar De Windt Producer: Veronica Paris

Education is about helping kids learn and grow. It's about giving them the tools and opportunities to discover their passions, develop their talents, and become the best versions of themselves. It's about fostering a love of learning that will stay with them throughout their lives. A good education is a foundation for a fulfilling life, empowering children to become confident, capable, and contributing members of society. In this solocast episode, Matt Beaudreau, Founder of Apogee Strong, sets out to clarify Apogee's mission and how it differs from Acton Academy. He addresses any remaining confusion and public perception issues, digging into the philosophical differences between the two organizations and sharing his personal journey in educational philosophy. Matt emphasizes Apogee's unique approach, which actively involves parents, offers flexible part-time and full-time options, and provides a hands-on, coach-driven learning environment. He also highlights the extensive support and resources Apogee provides to its affiliates, contrasting it with Acton Academy's more hands-off approach. Quotes: "We want to be the education hub in a community. So, we want people to be able to drop in for the things that they want help with that we want those a la carte options. Acton is not an a la carte network. We are very much an a la carte network." - Matt Beaudreau "Forget not answering questions. We're answering a lot of questions, and we're proactively engaging with every single thing, from academia to the projects all the above, it is not anywhere near the Acton approach on that, nor is it near the traditional school approach." - Matt Beaudreau "We've got two foundations that that push towards, you know, scholarships for families to make these things available, the website, the CRM and the tech behind it all to give them the ability to have an internal community, or building an app that's on the way that will help for tracking of student work, student behavior." - Matt Beaudreau Key Takeaways: Apogee is a separate entity from Acton Academy, despite the host's previous involvement. Apogee emphasizes parent involvement, contrasting with Acton's kid-centric approach. Apogee believes in coaching parents alongside their children, fostering a strong family-oriented learning environment. Apogee offers part-time and a la carte options, catering to homeschooling families and those seeking flexible learning solutions. This is a significant departure from Acton's focus on full-time enrollment. Apogee coaches actively guide students, contrasting with Acton's philosophy of letting students discover answers independently. Apogee believes in providing direct support and mentorship throughout the learning process. Apogee prioritizes physical fitness and incorporates it into the curriculum, recognizing the importance of a healthy body and mind for optimal learning. Apogee is building out a university partnership program, offering students opportunities to earn college degrees and trade certifications while completing their high school education. Conclusion Choosing the right educational path for your child is a significant decision. We hope this episode has equipped you with a deeper understanding of the differences between Apogee and Acton Academy, highlighting their unique approaches to parent involvement, curriculum design, and student support. Remember, the best choice for your family depends on your individual needs and priorities. We encourage you to explore both options thoroughly, visit campuses, and engage with their communities. By actively participating in this decision-making process, you can find the educational environment that will best nurture your child's growth, unlock their potential, and empower them to thrive.

It involves relationships and paying attention to the humans. It's about teaching people instead of teaching a curriculum.” “Education does not have anything to do with subjects. It has to do with a transfer of the way of life.” “Life does not reward you for being a great student in terms of skill transferability. From an educational standpoint, I want to make education as close to life as possible.” “Education should be a microcosm of the life you're actually going to live.” “I have an approach to business that comes through the avenue of life. I believe in order to be great in business, you actually have to be great at home, because it's all about relationships—both of them.” “In the short term, you're as good as your intensity. In the long term, you're as good as your consistency.” “If you cannot explain something simply enough, as if you were explaining it to a five year old, you don't understand it well enough.” “Simplicity is always a good goal.” “Far too often, we overcomplicate things to try and make ourselves look smart.” “Say the things you mean, mean the things you say, and you're not going to go overboard.” “The kids' issues are just a byproduct of our issues projected upon them.” “You can't tell your kids they can be anything they want while you're miserable at your job. That's called hypocrisy.” USEFUL RESOURCES: https://apogeestrong.com/ https://www.apogeestrongfoundation.org/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-beaudreau-071a5b99/ https://www.instagram.com/mattbeaudreau/ https://x.com/MattBeaudreau https://www.facebook.com/matt.beaudrea https://youtu.be/JPAXMNXy5UQ?si=1Mk62agvQHNOKLRm https://youtu.be/fv8tYbljc0s?si=ISC9MBP8EmCIlBwX CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://iamjohnhulen.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/

With so many devices around us constantly emitting electromagnetic fields (EMFs), it's understandable to feel a bit uneasy about their possible impact on health. While research on EMFs is ongoing, some people take precautionary steps, like reducing screen time, using wired connections where possible, or simply turning off devices when not in use. Balancing the convenience of technology with potential health considerations can bring a little peace of mind. Being aware and proactive about EMF exposure, even in small ways, might help ease concerns about this unseen aspect of modern life. Aires Tech is a company dedicated to developing innovative solutions that address the growing concerns around electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. Today, the Aries Tech team discusses their personal journey in discovering the impacts of EMF, the scientific evidence supporting their products, and their initiative to integrate these solutions into educational setting, such as Apogee schools, to protect the health and well-being of students and staff. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “We're not just taking the electromagnetic fields (EMF) that come off the devices, which can have a negative impact on your body, and leaving them as they are or blocking them or deflecting them somewhere else. We're taking them and changing them so that they're more bio-friendly.” – Grant “I'm one of those people who is intuitively driven. If I feel strongly about something, I'll do the research and make a decision for myself. However, once I decide on something, it's really hard to explain to someone why I made that choice.'” – Michaela “We live in this technological world, so it's better to adapt rather than try to walk around in a Faraday cage all day and be fearful of it all the time.” – Michaela “The reality is, technology is here to stay. So I think we do a massive disservice to our kids by saying, ‘Hey, you're never going to be able to touch it, never going to be able to use it. Good luck. I hope you're off-grid and fully self-sustaining.'” – Matt Beaudreau Takeaways: Explore ways to reduce EMF exposure in your home and daily life, such as unplugging devices when not in use, using speakerphone, and avoiding clock radios near the bed. Consider incorporating Aires Tech products into your home and school environments to help mitigate the effects of EMFs, especially for vulnerable populations like children. Stay informed about the latest research and developments in EMF science by checking out the "Wave Forward" podcast and blog, which feature in-depth discussions with experts. Advocate for more awareness and precautionary measures regarding EMF exposure, especially in schools and public spaces, to protect the health and well-being of our communities. Approach the topic of EMFs with an open and curious mindset, recognizing that there is still much to be learned, and be willing to experiment with different solutions to find what works best for your individual needs. Conclusion: Taking a proactive, balanced approach to managing EMF exposure is essential in today's tech-driven world. By being mindful of potential risks while embracing the conveniences that technology offers, individuals and communities can make informed choices that support both health and well-being. Prioritizing small adjustments can help reduce exposure without compromising the benefits of modern connectivity. This approach fosters a healthier relationship with technology, ensuring that convenience and safety go hand in hand.

Matt Beaudreau and Kevin Stoller have had transformative journeys through the traditional education system, ultimately leading them to create alternative, student-centered educational models. Drawing from their experiences, they emphasize the importance of fostering curiosity and engaging in meaningful conversations within the learning environment. In their conversation, Matt and Kevin address the challenges and opportunities in the evolving education landscape. They acknowledge the high demand for alternative education options and the need for systemic change within traditional schools. Parental involvement is highlighted as a crucial component in this shift, with parents playing an active role in their children's education. Matt shares the hurdles faced in making their programs accessible to all, advocating for a broader shift in mindset to embrace these new educational models. By focusing on the holistic development of students and the involvement of families, Matt's work represents a reimagining of education that seeks to reseed freedom in our children and nation through comprehensive family education. Takeaways: The traditional education system often prioritizes playing the game of school rather than fostering genuine learning and growth. Alternative models like Acton Academy and Apogee focus on learner-driven education, curiosity, and good conversation. Parents play an active role in the educational process, and their own learning and growth are important as well. Finding and building communities of like-minded individuals is crucial for creating and sustaining alternative educational models. The traditional school system needs to change There is a religious affinity for the current school system that hinders change As a Keynote Speaker, Consultant, and Coach to organizations around the world, Matt Beaudreau's clients have ranged from Wells Fargo, Honeywell, and Lockheed Martin to American Eagle, Cedars-Sinai and the United States Air Force. Matt has a reputation as a provocative thought leader in educational and personal development practices. He is a two-time featured TEDx speaker and he was named Corporate Trainer of the Year at Stanford University, having spoken to over 250,000 people across the world. Sound Bites to Ponder: "School for me was easy because I knew how to play school." "School has a big, giant, clunky, disgusting system that's self-perpetuating."

Set sail through the cosmic seas with SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 62, as we chart a course to a newly discovered Earth-sized exoplanet orbiting an ultra-cool red dwarf star just a stone's throw away in the galactic neighborhood. The discovery of Speculos-3b, a mere 55 light-years from Earth, stirs intrigue with its eternal days and nights due to likely tidal locking, offering a unique glimpse into the conditions of potentially habitable worlds around the most common stellar inhabitants of our galaxy.We then drift to the Milky Way's outskirts, where a stellar slow lane has been uncovered, challenging assumptions about the mass and dark matter content at the heart of our galactic home. This revelation, derived from Gaia and APOGEE data, suggests a lighter core and less dark matter than previously believed, sending ripples through our understanding of the cosmos.Our voyage continues as we seek to uncover dark matter's elusive influence on stellar streams with the help of the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory. This bastion of observation promises to shed light on the ghostly gravitational effects of dark matter on these celestial ribbons, offering a new perspective on the most dominant yet unseen force in the universe.Join us on SpaceTime with Stuart Gary for a journey into these cosmic curiosities and more, as we navigate the mysteries of space and the wonders it holds.(00:00) This is spacetime series 27, episode 62, for broadcast 22 May 2024(00:46) Astronomers have discovered a new Earth sized planet orbiting an ultracool red dwarf(04:24) The Milky Way's gravitational core may contain less dark matter than previously thought(10:26) The Vera C.

Jason Herrick and his wife Caitlin decided to start playing offense for their children and the future of this country by taking control of the education they provide their children, themselves, and all the families lives they will touch through starting their own Apogee Strong campus; Apogee HoCo.Howard County, Maryland will be home to one of 50 campuses starting up in the near future all over the US. The mission of Apogee Strong is one that resonates with me deeply. Leading through example, not being afraid of failure, critical thinking, hands on learning, educating the whole family & more.Jason's story of suffering a severe concussion early in his professional soccer career left him unsure of the future of his family and his ability to provide. After being stuck of the subscription model of healthcare, and dealing with let down after let down, he realized through the help of some non-traditional medical professionals that he had the power to heal himself. It took searching out and being proactive about his care to find this solution. He now aims to provide all the families that enroll in Apogee HoCo this same gift. His leadership philosophy is to encourage, educate, and empower and he lives this in his own life and you'll be able to pick up on his care and authenticity in today's episode.

In Episode 188 I sit down with Patrick. Patrick has taken the lead on launching an Apogee school here in Woodville, WA to bring a new and exciting approach to education here to the PNW. Partnered with Matt Beaudreau and Tim Kennedy they have identified a massive deficiency in the current public education system. They have moved to personally correct the problem and provide a solution for so many of the parents who are disenfranchised with our current education system. Our kids deserve better, and our country's future depends on it. We need a generation of loving, compassionate, powerful human beings to take the reins of this country and what better way to build that than investing in our youth! Look into Apogee if you want your children to be educated in a method that is radically different from our current system!
