Send us a textWe are in the dog days of summer. It's a season of campouts, when a tent pitched in a backyard offers cool relief from sunny days. Those magical nights are a bridge to the celestial realm. From stories written in the stars to the placement of the Sun, Moon and planets at the moment of our birth, to the impact Moon phases and Sun spots have on our human bodies? The bridge to the celestial realm awaits. Let's step onto it.The Celestial BridgeWhen I think of the bridge to the celestial, I picture the crystal rainbow from the Thor movie that stretched from Asgard to other realms.The stars and our place among them has birthed questions we humans have pondered since ancient times. Tales have been woven from that vast blanket of light that speak of heroes, villains, cautionary tales, mythical beasts, revenge, and more. The placement of the moon, the sun, and constellations signaled the time to plant crops, hunt, store for winter, and hunker down. The sight of comets and meteor showers were often seen as omens, signs from the gods that seeded legends we repeat today.We still look to the stars, the sun and phases of the moon to better feel our connection to the Universe. Those celestial bodies inspire the mystery of us, in a way that feels secret, sacred and sometimes haunting.In fact, the cosmos inspired their own fiction genre known as Cosmic Horror. Heavily influenced by H.P. Lovecraft, Cosmic Horror focuses on the insignificance of humans, the unsettling nature of the Universe, and cosmic entities that can be threatening, or seem intimidating at the very least.What to Read/Listen/Watch NEXT!A Beginner's Guide to Reading a Birth Chart, ELLE Magazine, Madison FellerBeginner's Guide to Reading a VEDIC Birth Chart, Melooha.com, Dr. Vineeta PhatakPast Life in the Natal Chart, Astrologgia.com, Daria RoweFour Elements in Astrology, Moonletter.co.uk, Ben BelinskySun Facts, NASA.govSolar Flares: Effects on Humans, Heath.com, Amanda MacMillanInterpreting 5 Ancient Constellations Across Cultures, Discover Magazine, Joshua Rapp LearnOrion Across Three Cultures, NightSkyTourist.comI don't accept sponsors and paid advertisers.

Have you ever heard of a road so haunted that even the trees seem to whisper of its cursed past? Bridge Road, a lonely stretch between North Carolina and Virginia, is a hotbed of supernatural activity; shadowy figures, phantom vehicles, cryptid creatures, and winged humanoids that defy reason. Christian recounts firsthand encounters with a towering bipedal beast, a demonic flying entity clad in colonial garb, and ghost cars that appear only to vanish within moments. Layered over a bloody history of Revolutionary War massacres, witchcraft, and rumored portals, this road might just be a fracture in reality itself.

More effort doesn't always equal more progress. And without the right clarity, it often takes you further from what you truly want. If you've been feeling stretched thin, constantly saying yes to things that drain you, yet unsure whether it's actually moving you forward, this episode of The Bridge to Fulfillment® is for you. Tune in as Blake shares the transformative power of a single, intentional question that can realign your daily decisions and refocus your energy on what actually matters. You'll learn how seemingly small choices add up to either bring you closer—or take you further—from your ideal life and career. In today's episode, you'll learn how to spot the difference between “more” and “closer,” using a simple question that will help you filter your decisions through the lens of the life you're truly trying to create. The life and career you want won't come from doing more. It will come from doing what actually matters, with intention. What You'll Learn: Why doing more often backfires and what to do instead (0:44) The single question that can redirect your entire trajectory (2:25) How to create space for clarity and intentional action (2:59) The hidden cost of always saying yes to everything (3:24) How to start building momentum toward the life you truly want (4:30) Favorite Quotes: “We can have great intentions, but if we don't have the processes or the consistency in place, the actions we take on a day to day basis end up getting us further from what we want—not closer.” –Blake “Does this support the life I'm trying to create?” –Blake “Our brains are wired to do more and believe that by doing more, we'll get what we want. But that's just not really true.” –Blake “It's in the very small things that we do on a day-to-day basis that we continuously take action on, that create the amazing forward momentum for the lives and careers that we desire.” –Blake Additional Resources: For programs and opportunities to work with Blake, go to www.BlakeSchofield.com

In the second hour of today's edition of the show, Dan discusses how Jared Polis' 150-year anniversary walkway plan reflects poorly on Colorado Democrats.
How many times have you heard the Prime Minister say this Government is different because it will set targets, track progress and be open about its actual results? That's how we're going to get back on track, that's what we've heard from National so many times. And what's more important than turning around education and getting on top of youth crime? Not much. Which is why they've got charter schools and bootcamps. Everybody said 'yep', those kids need sorting out in the case of bootcamps - or those kids deserve more choice in the case of charter schools. But now this week, we've heard from the agencies involved in these programmes and they've decided they won't be telling the public how many students are enrolled at the new charter schools. And in the bootcamps- they won't talk about how many of the kids are re-offending. They've given various excuses for this, but none of them stack up. They reckon telling the public general details, no specifics or names, about youth re-offending is potentially harmful to vulnerable kids - which sounds very cotton-wool, wraparound luvvie Labour for the the big game this Government talked, don't you think? The fact is, people can't trust a system or a programme they know nothing about. When you're not totally upfront about the results, it looks like you're trying to hide something. And you only hide news when it's bad. So either they know charter schools and boot camps are a bad idea, which I doubt, otherwise why would you do them? Or -they're scared of failure on key programmes a year out from the election. Here's some free advice: give us the truth and let us make up our own minds.

Every once in a while, frustrated ferry users bring up the idea of a “fixed link” - a bridge or tunnel that would permanently connect Vancouver Island to the rest of B.C. It came up this week as discussions drag on about the new ships that BC Ferries has ordered from a shipyard in China. So on this week's episode: what would it take to build a bridge or tunnel?

We owe our kids an apology. School students of all ages in this country have been used as guinea pigs in failed experiments that have been demonstrably bad for their learning. We've had two announcements from the Government this week that prove this. First, the latest NCEA maths results from low decile schools. They improved by around 70 percent. 19.8 percent passed the co-requisite test last year. In June it was 34 percent. This is, obviously, excellent news. Well done to those students for putting in the hard work. The begging question is why and how on earth did this happen? I asked both Erica Stanford and Chris Hipkins, the former Education Minister, this question. Both agreed it was a more relentless focus on the basics. Both agreed that teachers have been teaching too much 'fluffy' other stuff to students and their results in core subjects have been declining as a result. Both politicians blamed the other party for changing where the focus goes. And that's politics. But it's the students who've missed out. They're the ones who won't get those years back. They're the ones who've missed out. They're the ones who will pay the price in future for missing out on a basic education. And two, the open plan, barn-yard style classrooms - the home of distracted learning. The Government today announced they won't build any new ones. Which, again, is welcome news. But the question is - why any were built in the first place? The Key government built some and Labour carried on. All of this on the advice of boffins at the Ministry of Education who've clearly never stepped foot in an actual classroom. Now, the Minister says they've done some actual research and realised they're a terrible idea. This is how Erica Stanford politely described how schools are coping with these classes at present: "There are schools who still have them and they operate in them the best they possibly can. They have trained their teachers to work in them, they've got really good acoustics. They're teaching children at different levels, some on chairs, some on the floor to reduce the noise, and they're doing the best they can." I know, totally ridiculous. The reality is, we can't solely blame out kids for their failure to learn. We can also blame ill-informed or ideologically-driven experiments by the Ministry of Education, the unions and politicians. Whether it's the Ministry in Wellington, the unions or politicians, we can't solely blame our kids for their failure to learn. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to another inspiring episode of The Brand Called You! In this episode, host Frits Bussemaker sits down with Mike Lipkin—a truly multifaceted personality: part-time academic, part-time consultant, and part-time bridge teacher. Mike shares his fascinating journey from graduating early at MIT, exploring both mathematics and chemistry, pivoting into academia, and ultimately finding his way onto Wall Street as a senior trader.But how does a passion for bridge—a game he learned as a child from his mother—intersect with the world of finance? Mike discusses the serendipitous moment when his love for this strategic game opened doors on Wall Street, and how the skills required for competitive bridge actually parallel those needed for high-stakes trading. We also dive into what makes great teaching, his adventures in writing, and the importance of pursuing intellectually satisfying work over mere financial goals.

The Government's introduced a bill today to get local Government back focused on the basics. But the fact they've strayed so far from potholes, rubbish and waste water is as much our fault as the councillors and mayors running the budgets. The Government's bill contains the wildly controversial stuff like: "Prioritising core services when managing finances and setting rates." And "new financial performance measures for councils, with a requirement for regular public reporting." How scandalous. Honestly. We shouldn't need central Government to spend time and money clarifying such simple principles to their local Government counterparts, but it's 2025, and here we are. We shouldn't need a bill to stop wasteful spending. We just need more Andrew Tripes. He's the Whanganui mayor overseeing a 2.2 percent rate increase this year. Much less than the average 8.7 percent across the country. He went on RNZ this morning and basically said it how it really is. If you want low rates, spend less, save money, have a plan. And stick to it. Like Dave Latele, he says: No excuses. He cut the naff curb-side food waste bin nonsense. That saved them 1.1 percent. Why has Auckland kept its scheme when most don't even use it? The fact is that this is all our fault. Not the fault of the councils or the mayors - and certainly not central Government who's sweeping in to try and save the day. It's us, the voters. We obviously don't care enough about council waste. Otherwise we'd have voted to get rid of it. It's a simple as that. Voter turnout in 2022 was 36 percent. In Auckland, our largest city, it was 31 percent! In some areas of Auckland it was only 20 percent. No wonder we're tripping over cycleways and raised crossings, paying for cooking classes at community centres and drowning in unnecessarily, infuriatingly exorbitant rates bills.

MARC & MIKE DISCUSS THE DRAMA BEHIND COLLEGE FOOTBALL SALERIES; SHOULD THE SPECIFICS BE DISLCOSED PUBLICLY?
Put your hand up if you've ever had a bus suddenly pull out in front of your car while you're driving along, minding your own beeswax. I know. It's happened to everyone. They're long things aren't they, buses? So you can be halfway past one when they pull out, and all of a sudden you're slamming on the brakes or you're pushed into the wrong lane. I don't mind admitting that until this very morning, I had assumed that buses must have had the right of way. They seem to take no prisoners. They have no mercy. They're as ruthless on the road as the All Blacks at the Cake Tin on Saturday night. But I was reading an article this morning from the Spinoff about a bunch of changes to road rules that Chris Bishop wants to enact. One of them is giving buses right of way when they're exiting bus stops. So if you're driving a car, you must yield. Give way. Slow down, or more likely, stop completely to let them out. The theory is that buses carry more passengers than cars. If we prioritise the buses, more people will get where they need to go. Productivity increases. And we're all better off. And you know what? I can get onboard with that. It makes sense, and I sort of thought that was the law anyway. But if we motorists are going to do something nice for the buses, then I want something in return. I want those stupid green bus lanes that sit empty most of the day as traffic piles up around them back. I want us to reclaim the road for the people who are actually using it. I understand the need for rush-hour/peak bus lanes. But I don't understand why they must be bus lanes 24/7 when they're 1 - not being used by buses and 2 - causing massive delays, inconvenience and lost productivity to the rest of us. The default position is that bus lanes are 24/7 unless sign posted otherwise. The one in particular that rips my nightie is in central Auckland - where most bus lanes are 24/7. Does anybody else have this problem - or am I just another selfish motorist fuming in midday traffic? LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Bridge of Dream chapter (Tyrion Five from A Dance with Dragons) delves deeply into a number of the key themes in the series. These include the subjective nature of reality, the non-thought of received ideas, and the unreliability of language/communication. These issues are central to the human experience, and their treatment in this chapter makes the case for a moral reading of the text. This is a response to the Bridge of Dream episode from Boiled Leather Audio Hour. Those guys are legendary ASOIAF podders, so please do give a listen to their work. The "non-thought of received ideas" I first encountered in Milan Kundera's Art of the Novel. He was responding to Flaubert's earlier, posthumously published Dictionary of Received Ideas. Both get at the cost and consequence to the individual and society as a whole when critical engagement with ideas fails. Please do check them out. Thank you for listening!

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by how broken down the world around us seems to be? We can't fix these things on our own, but with God all things are possible. God is looking for people to partner with Him in bringing restoration to the broken areas of life. So how are you partnering with God today to bring restoration in your family, workplace, or community?

Send us a textHave you noticed? Curious Cat is not a political podcast. It's a place where I explore strange, nebulous, mysterious aspects of life, death, history, science and spirit. I don't so much pick topics as my guides queue them up, set them like a golf ball onto a tee. I can't tell you how many times during morning minutes something takes over my pen and writes out what is next. Sometimes it's a name I've never heard of that I'm called to research, like Raziel and Azrael, other times they dictate a mini-monologue.But, not being a political podcast, I am a citizen of the world and I see and feel the tension of this moment in history. And boy, we are inflamed, both on a collective level and within the individual. My guides said this was the perfect day to offer up an anti-inflammatory, a Benadryl-version of a podcast, or better yet, chicken soup for the soul.Oh, and I'll share how sniffing your partner's sweaty gym clothes can reduce your blood pressure. :0Let's get into it.What to listen/watch/read NEXT:The Magic of Trees, Curious Cat Podcast, BuzzsproutWater Magick, Curious Cat Podcast, BuzzsproutManipulatives and Mental Health, Curious Cat Podcast, BuzzsproutHow to Use Humor to Manage Stress, Psychology Today, Clay Drinko, Ph.

Uncle Si and the boys offer prayers and heartfelt condolences for the families in Texas affected by the recent tragic floods, as well as the first responders and crews working to get those communities on the road to healing. Martin shares parenting potty hacks he picked up over the weekend, like never underestimating a toddler's ability to aim, and John-David reveals his secret weapon for diaper escape artists. Si managed to smash his truck on Willie's bridge, and in classic fashion, he blamed Christian Huff. Plus, Hunter brings his (very real) girlfriend to meet Uncle Si and she's got front-row seats to all the madness.
