The government has confirmed major changes to New Zealand's secondary school qualification system, officially replacing NCEA with a new subject-based model. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Education Minister Erica Stanford announced the shift in Orewa, saying the current NCEA system is too complex and doesn't clearly show how well students have mastered their subjects. From 2029, Year 12 students will begin the New Zealand Certificate of Education, followed by the New Zealand Advanced Certificate of Education for Year 13 in 2030. Level 1 will be removed in 2028. Under the new structure, students will take at least five subjects, and must pass a minimum of three to earn the qualification. Every subject will include internal assessments and an exam, and results will be reported using a six-point grading scale from A+ to E. Certificates will list each subject and the grade achieved, with endorsement awards for top performers. Year 11 students will face new compulsory subjects — science, English or te reo rangatira, and mathematics — and all students will need to pass the new literacy and numeracy Foundational Award. The curriculum will also expand to include new subjects such as Civics, Politics and Philosophy, Advanced Mathematics, and Journalism and Media, alongside industry-developed subjects like building and construction and primary industries. Stanford says the changes are designed to move students away from “credit crunching” and toward genuine learning progress. Current Year 9 students will be the first full cohort to move through the new system. So all the statistics point to NCEA failing but like all tools it's because of the people who used the system not exclusively because of the system A common reaction amongst older New Zealander is how tis resembles the School C, UE system we grew up with so it was less of a revolution and more of a return to basics that were well understood The easy criticism for older folk was the marking system. For some reason parents and employers did not understand the Excellence, Merit and Acheived rankings when obviously Excellence means an A, Merit a b and Acheived a C. The A to E system is one that parents grew up with but in the cold light of day is just as abstract as the NCEA rankings. The real problem lay in the rorting of the credits with students choosing easy to pass subjects and avoiding anything that seemed challenging. But the real responsibility for the credit crunching surely lies with the parents as well And the strength of NCEA was recognising that there is not one education for all. That some people don't cope with maths or English or Science and the system recognised what talents they had. My youngest and I had a big to do over his Year 13 subject choice. He detested maths and wanted to study photography. I said you have to have maths. he argued that he had as much maths as any average student would need for real life. He won. And now he is a successful photographer doing his own taxes and playing Sharesies particularly well. So he was right. But I'm just lucky he's such a rounded individual But while the new system re-emphasises 3 basic pillars of knowledge in English Maths and Science a lot of those BS credit crunching subjects remain. Other arguments are amongst those who say exams are artificial and how do you sit an exam on Food Technology which is the new fangled name for cooking. Or photography which still exists. The question exists is this a brave new world or will the old problems still remain. Luxon also used the event to comment on global instability, national security, and recent speculation about a potential National–Labour coalition, dismissing the idea outright.

On this milestone 300th episode of the Retire with Ryan podcast, I dig into whether the Social Security lump sum payment option is right for you. After a client reached out with questions about whether accepting a lump sum is a good deal, I want to break down how the option works, who it's available to, and the key factors to consider when making this important decision. If you're approaching retirement, this episode offers practical guidance on weighing the lump sum versus higher monthly benefits, health considerations, and the impact on survivor benefits and taxes.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... [00:00] Getting started with Social Security [05:22] monthly Social Security benefit calculations [06:11] Reasons to take the lump sum [07:48] Health concerns and social security benefits [08:27] When passing on the lump sum is a better choice [10:24] Your lump sum may increase your taxable income   Should You Take the Social Security Lump Sum? When you apply for Social Security after your full retirement age (FRA), the Social Security Administration may offer a lump sum payment. This option is generally given to individuals who delay collecting benefits past their FRA. The lump sum typically covers up to six months of retroactive benefits. For example, if your FRA is 66 and you apply a year later, you might be eligible for a lump sum equal to six months of prior payments. However, there's a catch: your monthly benefit will be calculated as if you started receiving Social Security six months earlier, resulting in a lower monthly payment going forward.   The Math Behind the Decision Let's look at the numbers. Suppose your current monthly Social Security benefit is $2,500. If you elect the lump sum, your payment will be based on your benefit from six months ago—roughly 4% lower, or about $2,350 per month. You would receive a lump sum ($2,350 x 6 = $14,100), but your ongoing monthly benefit would start at the lower amount. Dividing the lump sum ($14,100) by the monthly difference ($150) gives about 94 months, or almost eight years. In other words, it will take eight years of receiving the higher benefit to make up for not taking the lump sum.   Reasons to Take the Lump Sum There are situations where the lump sum makes sense: 1. Immediate Financial Need: If you have bills, a major expense, or want to fund something important like a vacation, accessing the lump sum offers flexibility. 2. Health Concerns: If your health is poor, the lump sum may be preferable. Social Security benefits cease at death, except for a $255 survivor payment. Taking the lump sum ensures you receive more of your entitled benefits within your lifetime.   Reasons to Decline the Lump Sum For many, passing on the lump sum will be the wiser move, if you're healthy and likely to live at least eight years, your higher monthly benefit will surpass the lump sum. Something else to consider is if you're the higher-earning spouse, your survivor's benefits will be based on your monthly payment. Opting for a lower benefit reduces what your spouse would receive after your passing. Future cost-of-living increases are based on your initial benefit. Starting at a lower monthly payment means smaller dollar increases over time. Historically, Cost of Living Adjustments (COLA) average 2.8% per year; these can add up and compound. You also need to remember that receiving a lump sum may increase your taxable income for that year, possibly pushing you into a higher bracket or increasing taxes on your Social Security benefits. Ultimately, the decision is highly personal. Assess your health, financial needs, family longevity, and whether your spouse would depend on your benefit. Crunching the numbers will clarify your breakeven point.   Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

Do you find the sound of people chewing unbearably annoying? Or perhaps you can't stand to be near folks who are typing on noisy keyboards, fidgeting with their pens, or rustling a plastic bag of chips. The term for this sort of aversion is misophonia. Even if you don't personally deal with this issue, you may know someone who does. In this episode, we talk with Benjamin Kirby (Wichita State University) and Olivia Zant (University of North Texas), whose recent JASA Express Letters article, “Psychoacoustic Assessment of Misophonia,” touches on this topic.Associated paper: Benjamin J. Kirby, Alaina Cunningham, and Olivia Montou Zant. "Psychoacoustic assessment of misophonia."

Sunday, December 14: CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS - WEEK 15 - PREVIEW & PICKS - WITH - MARK EVERETT KELLY by FiredUp Network

In this soulful and unfiltered conversation, singer-songwriter Mike Maimone—a former accountant turned queer creative force—shares how love, loss, and midlife reinvention shaped his music and life. From finding love across an age gap with late partner Howard Bragman, to channeling grief into his upcoming album and book, Guess What, I Love You (out February), Mike opens up about rediscovering purpose after heartbreak. Together, Rick and Mike dive into healing, queer resilience, and what it means to live unapologetically authentic—no fears, no excuses, no apologies. Three Key Takeaways Reinvention knows no age limit: Mike's switch from accounting to full-time musician proves it's never too late to follow your authentic rhythm. Love isn't defined by age—it's anchored in shared values and authenticity; Mike and Howard's story shows how connection outlasts external assumptions. Grief can become creative fuel: Mike transformed loss into art, launching an album and book that honor memory by turning pain into performance.  About Mike Originally a business school graduate and accountant, Mike Maimone made his way into full-time music through Chicago's blues scene, drawing comparisons to legends like Randy Newman and Leon Russell. He has since performed more than 100 shows annually, appearing at festivals such as Lollapalooza, Riot Fest, and Summer Camp, while sharing stages with Blues Traveler, Plain White T's, and Company of Thieves. His music has been placed on TV soundtracks and even featured at Wrigley Field. In 2023, Maimone released Borrowed Tunes, Vol. 2, followed by sold-out shows in Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago, with proceeds benefiting The Trevor Project. A live album, Songs for You, Alive in Chicago, followed in early 2024. His forthcoming album Guess What? I Love You, available for pre-order in limited-edition vinyl and CD formats, will include handwritten lyrics, liner notes, and photos, further underscoring the deeply personal nature of the project.

Coy Jandreau & John Humphrey react to Sisu (2022), the brutal and stylish Finnish action film written and directed by Jalmari Helander (Rare Exports, Big Game). Set during the final days of World War II, Sisu has become a modern cult favorite thanks to its over-the-top action, striking visuals, and a near-mythic one-man-army protagonist. The story follows Aatami Korpi, played by Jorma Tommila (known for Rare Exports and Big Game), a quiet prospector with a terrifying past. When he strikes gold in the Lapland wilderness, he attracts the attention of Nazi soldiers led by the ruthless SS Officer Bruno Helldorf, played by Aksel Hennie (The Martian, Headhunters). What follows is a relentless warpath of retribution as Aatami single-handedly takes on an entire platoon determined to steal his fortune. Supporting performances include Jack Doolan (The Boys, Marcella) as the vicious Wolfgang, Mimosa Willamo (Aurora, Bodom) as Aino, one of the women captured by the Nazis, and Onni Tommila (Rare Exports) in a memorable minor role. Iconic and highly searched scenes from Sisu include the minefield sequence, Aatami's insane underwater knife fight, the tractor convoy ambush, the hanging escape, and the over-the-top plane finale that cements Korpi as one of the toughest action heroes of the past decade. With its grindhouse energy and jaw-dropping stunts, Sisu is a blood-soaked ride that blends spaghetti western vibes with '80s action excess.

Bob Odenkirk is back as Hutch Mansell in Nobody 2 (2025), directed by Timo Tjahjanto with a screenplay by Derek Kolstad & Aaron Rabin. After burning the Russian mob's money in the first movie, Hutch still owes debts, and just when he tries to go on a peaceful vacation with his wife Becca (Connie Nielsen – Gladiator, Wonder Woman), son Brady (Gage Munroe – The Shack), and daughter Sammy (Paisley Cadorath), he's pulled back into a storm of violence. Returning are Hutch's father David (Christopher Lloyd – Back to the Future), and brother Harry (RZA – The Man with the Iron Fists). New faces include Colin Hanks (Fargo) as corrupt sheriff Abel, John Ortiz (American Gangster) as Wyatt Martin, and Sharon Stone (Casino, Basic Instinct) as ruthless crime boss Lendina. Key sequences include Hutch losing his pinky, the warehouse blaze, brutal lodge fight, and the explosive theme park showdown where Becca herself steps up to protect the family. Nobody 2 mixes intense fight choreography, pitch-black humor, and family drama in classic action style. We'll dive into how Hutch's story evolves, whether it tops the first film, and how the sequel expands the world of this surprise action franchise.

The 2025 IndyCar season may be complete, but silly season is fully underway. Conor Daly and co-host Chase Holden are back on Speed Street to react to last week's blockbuster news that Colton Herta will be departing from the IndyCar paddock to pursue Formula One, and his replacement will be none other than the legendary Will Powers, fresh off his long-time contract with Team Penske. Aside from the Penske 12-car, there are many other rides in question, and the guys make some educated guesses as to how the rest of the field will shake out for 2026. Conor and Chase also go through the season's points standings and recap each driver's performance on ovals and road courses.

Mike Kramer has always liked puzzles. But in 2017 he faced one harder than any sudoku. This one involved the livelihoods of hundreds of American families. As director of business operations and the chief financial officer for Exelon Corporation's eastern region, Mike Kramer was accountable for the financial health of seven nuclear generation facilities across four states. And things were not looking good.The trend lines for nuclear power had been heading down. In much of the country, renewables had reached grid parity and cheap natural gas was edging out nuclear power. He couldn't make the math work at one of the reactors Exelon had operated for nearly 50 years – Three Mile Island Unit One. So in September 2019, it shut down. But last fall, things started turning around. Exelon spin-out Constellation, where Mike is now VP of data economy strategy, is restarting the plant as the Crane Clean Energy Center. And things are looking up at Constellation's nuclear plant in Clinton, Illinois, which it is relicensing to operate for another 20 years.This week on With Great Power, Mike shares his take on the nuclear energy renaissance, what it's been like to go from decommissioning to recommissioning a plant, and what growing demand for emissions-free power means for Constellation's nuclear fleet across the country.With Great Power is a co-production of GridX and Latitude Studios.Subscribe on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get podcasts.

"Collapse Timelines for Your Goal—Without Hustling or Overworking"A couple of years ago, I started collapsing my timelines. Instead of waiting until the end of the year to achieve my goals, I asked myself, "How can I make this happen now?"It's about changing the beliefs you have about yourself and taking different actions to get you closer—faster. You have to ask: What do I need to start doing, and what do I need to stop doing?Crunching a timeline forces you to evaluate if your current actions are helping or holding you back. It forces you to think critically and creatively because almost everything you're doing right now won't get you to the goal you've set—you've raised the bar. You need 10x thinking to match your goal.This challenge will bring up doubt, fear, and overwhelm. But those feelings are the exact things you need to face to grow. This is where coaching comes in—work through those feelings every week to keep moving forward.Your goals are meant to work for you, not against you.So many hesitate to set goals because they fear failure. But it's not about hitting the goal—it's about who you become while working toward it. We chase goals thinking they'll make us feel a certain way, but the secret is generating that feeling now—before you even get there.For example, many think they'll feel confident once they get their flight offer. But confidence isn't something you wait for—it's something you create from within first.Here's how we're collapsing the timeline to Flight:Step 1: Set a specific goal.Step 2: Identify the result you want to create.Step 3: What feeling do you think you'll have when you achieve that goal?Step 4: How can you generate that feeling NOW? Start with beliefs that feel believable and build up.By generating the feelings and beliefs now, you collapse your timeline to Flight and get there faster.Join us inside The Flight Prep Academy, we are collapsing people's timelines to Flight.Join The Flight Prep Academy Here
