What would it look like to reimagine our teaching as good work and see our students as made in God's image? Dive into Scripture and practical discussion with Kristi Schliep and Missy Takano, staff members at Black Forest Academy in Germany. "What God did at creation, He invited His people to then partner in that same kind of work." -Kristi "Human good work is like God's good work; it's intended to carry this same bringing order from the raw materials, creating space where life can flourish, carrying out God's rule and reign and intentions in the world for the blessing of others." -Missy "Humanity rebelled and that brought fracturing and brokenness into the created design, but it didn't undo the created design and it didn't undo the invitation to good work." -Missy "Sometimes we get caught up in viewing kids through the lens of Genesis 3, rather than remembering the original design." -Kristi "It matters that we acknowledge that our students are touched by the brokenness of the world, but that's not the full story." -Kristi "My job is to be faithful to cultivate the ground, and I'm going to have to trust that that season of fruitfulness may not be in the timing that I anticipate." -Kristi "When we acknowledge that God is the source of all things and He has invited us to participate, it's such a fun tension to live in because He is going to provide - He's going to provide all that we need, He's going to be the one to cultivate Genesis 1 in that classroom - and He invites us to participate." -Kristi "When students know that you are delighting in them, they will absolutely join you and engage." -Kristi "Recognizing our need for rest helps us to continue persisting in that Genesis 1 perspective." -Missy "[You] get to announce that the King is here in the way that [you] live in your classroom, and that's holy work." -Kristi "You're not alone. Your work is good. It's holy and sacred work. The students are the images of God. The same Spirit who hovered over the waters indwells you, so you are empowered for the work that God has called you to." -Missy Listen to Missy and Kristi on the Restoried podcast!

In today's Editor's Desk, Alec Hogg pulls back the curtain on the State of the Nation address, exploring why Pretoria may finally be waking up to the neglected potential of the mining sector. We dive into the "golden straitjacket" of international capital markets that is forcing a shift in South Africa's ideological approach to Eskom and privatization. Plus, a look at the staggering data from the Jeffrey Epstein email troves—revealing deep connections to global financial elites—and a defense of Paul O'Sullivan's recent interrogation by a parliamentary committee.

Es war Mitte Dezember, als die Ehrenamtliche Wildvogelhilfe e.V. uns darauf aufmerksam machte, dass der Energie-Konzern RWE schon im Januar den verbliebenen Kühlturm des Atomkraftwerks Biblis – das AKW ist heute immer noch Lagerstätte atomaren Mülls – zurückbauen, sprich zerstören und abräumen wollte. Am letzten Kühlturm des Blocks B war befanden sich noch etwa 180 Nester der bis vor kurzem riesigen Mehlschwalbenpopulation mit etwa 800 Tieren.

In today's edition, Alec Hogg reveals the true architect behind the "greatest private equity deal of all time"—the Naspers acquisition of Tencent—and shares a personal story of South African honesty encountered on the road to Mossel Bay. He also addresses the disturbing cancellation of a school tennis match between Roedean and King David, calling for a rejection of the ignorance and "bad agents" that threaten South Africa's inherent culture of tolerance.

We’ve told kids for years that effort changes everything. But the biggest review of growth mindset research in decades just found the results are tiny… sometimes nothing at all. So should parents and teachers stop talking about “not yet”? In this Doctor’s Desk episode, Justin and Kylie unpack what the science really says, why the data might be missing the magic, and the simple belief that still changes lives for many children. KEY POINTS A major new review analysed 24 gold-standard studies on growth mindset interventions. The strongest research found very small or zero academic improvement. Real classrooms and real families are far more complex than controlled trials. No study shows growth mindset causes harm. Language, belief, and persistence still influence motivation for many kids. We should be careful about promises — but not abandon hope. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “I don’t want to be the adult who looks at a child and says, ‘You just can’t.’” RESOURCES MENTIONED Gazmuri, C. (2025). Growth mindset interventions and academic achievement. Review of Education. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Swap limits for possibility: invite effort and exploration. Focus on helping your child stay in the uncomfortable learning zone. Offer support after they’ve tried, not before. Remember: neutral evidence is not negative evidence. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After a fascinating long weekend, I'm back with the real story behind Naspers' legendary Tencent deal and a personal reminder of the honesty that defines the "real" South Africa. I also weigh in on the disturbing intolerance surfacing in our schools—and why we must fiercely protect our culture of multiculturalism.

Die Piste ist perfekt, die Aussicht traumhaft – und trotzdem meldet sich der Körper schneller als gedacht. Brennende Beine, zwickende Knie oder verspannte Schultern gehören für viele einfach dazu. Doch was, wenn diese Beschwerden weniger mit Alter oder Kondition zu tun haben, als wir glauben? In dieser Folge werfen wir einen neuen Blick auf das Skifahren – und auf die Signale unseres Körpers. Denn Bewegungen entstehen nie isoliert. Haltung, Technik und Belastung greifen ineinander, oft mit überraschenden Auswirkungen. Warum sich Probleme manchmal dort zeigen, wo wir sie gar nicht erwarten, und welche Rolle alte Gewohnheiten dabei spielen, darüber sprechen wir mit dem Grazer Physiotherapeuten Armin Wölger. Er erklärt, warum der Körper immer als Ganzes betrachtet werden sollte – besonders auf der Piste. Viele von uns fahren seit Jahrzehnten Ski und verlassen sich auf das, was „immer schon funktioniert hat“. Doch Material und Anforderungen haben sich verändert. Wann ein technisches Update sinnvoll ist, warum ein geschulter Blick von außen viel bewirken kann und weshalb es sich lohnt, Warnsignale ernst zu nehmen – all das erwartet euch in dieser Episode. Eine Einladung, das eigene Skifahren neu zu denken. Bitte nehmt bei gesundheitlichen Problemen immer auch individuelle Beratungen bei Ärzt:innen, Diplomierten Gesundheits- und Krankenpflegepersonen und Therapeut:innen in Anspruch. Unsere Podcastfolgen sollen euch einen guten Impuls für eure Gesundheit geben, ersetzen aber nie eine individuelle, persönliche medizinische Betreuung und Behandlung!

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:Work Addiction Looks Like Success—Until It Costs You Who You AreWork addiction doesn't arrive as a crisis.It builds through competence, trust, and responsibility.It receives praise. You are rewarded for it. You deliver more.You take on more.More people rely on you.Over time, the work expands to fill more of your life. The trade happens in small increments. Stepping away starts to feel unavailable, not because something is wrong, but because too much depends on you. Gradually, who you are becomes defined by who you are at work. And your personal life is in the way of you working more. In this episode of The Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, Beate Chelette speaks with Traci DeForge about work addiction as a leadership pattern that develops in plain sight and how to break that cycle.By 30, Traci was running a rapidly expanding radio operation in a male-dominated industry. She was effective, visible, and carrying increasing responsibility. She was also questioned about how she got there—who she slept with, or whether her father owned the station—pressure that shaped how much she carried and how difficult it became to step back.Nothing looked broken.Until it was.This conversation stays centered on founder awareness.How responsibility accumulates.How separation erodes.How optionality disappears without announcement.How identity becomes inseparable from performance.This episode is about what happens when you are the victim of your own success because it removes your ability to step away from it.Today, Traci DeForge helps leaders find and trust their voice through podcasting. Drawing on decades in high-pressure media and leadership roles, she supports founders and executives in translating lived experience into meaningful conversations that reflect both their work and who they are. Follow Traci and learn more about her work:Website: https://produceyourpodcast.comLinkedIn: Traci DeForge #Founders #Leadership #WorkAddiction #Responsibility #FounderAwareness #BuildToLast #HumanCenteredLeadershipOther Resources Mentioned:Instagram | Facebook |  YouTube_____________________We appreciate you, thank you for listening.

This week at the Desk of Ladyada, we're comin' back from maternity leave and getting spun up with a bunch of projects. First, a fun mailbag item: the XTEInk ‘pocket' reader running crosspoint open firmware on an ESP32-C3. Since it's running an Espressif chip, we could also install CircuitPython or WipperSnapper on it…a great side-effect of more off-the-shelf goods coming with ESP32 chips! See also our Yoto-hacking guide on learn. Next, we've been really enjoying running OpenClaw on a Pi 5 and connecting it up to Adafruit hardware to do ‘full circle' test-driven development. We have Anthropic Opus do the datasheet parsing and design document, then ‘farm' out the coding work to OpenAI Codex. After the driver is written, we also have it design tests to verify hardware functionality, using other GPIO pins, NeoPixels, servos, etc., to exercise the chip capability. It's able to run tests and then fix bugs all on its own, then text me when it needs help or to alert that it's done. It's very slick and fun! Finally, using that same system of coding, we had it ‘one-shot' a miniature oscilloscope demo for the unreleased Stemma Friend from way back (well, it took a few back-and-forths to get it just how we like). Could we have coded it by hand? Probably! But we were able to guide the development and get the look and performance we wanted in about 30 minutes of prompting while also laying in bed and chillin' with a newborn.

In this episode of Around the Desk, Sean Emory, Founder and Chief Investment Officer at Avory & Co., steps back from the AI noise to focus on what actually matters right now.Using recent earnings from Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta, this conversation breaks down what the massive AI CapEx buildout really signals, how different business models monetize AI very differently, and why many of the fears around software disruption may be overstated.This episode explores AI through a capital allocation lens, separating defensive spending from offensive opportunity, and what Big Tech behavior tells us about the true health of the underlying economy.Topics covered include:• The scale of Big Tech AI CapEx and why it matters more than feature launches • Defensive vs offensive AI spending and how to think about moats • Why AI CapEx is also an economic confidence signal • Different monetization paths at Amazon, Microsoft, Meta, and Google • Why Meta may be the cleanest AI beneficiary • The narrative vs data gap around Google Search and AI disruption • Why the “AI breaks software” panic may be overdone • Enterprise security, governance, and why AI rollout feels fast and slow at the same time • Platforms vs single-purpose tools and where risk actually sits • What recent software earnings say about demand, renewals, and long-term contracts • How AI likely becomes embedded inside platforms rather than replacing themThis conversation is for informational purposes only and should not be considered investment advice.

  Tread Perilously returns to the land of made-for-TV movies with 1982's Mysterious Two. When two people known as He and She convince their followers to invade a town in the Southwest because "it is time," a local sheriff, a magazine reporter, and a young man looking for his missing girlfriend converge on the site. There, He and She promise to uplift "the People of Tomorrow" if they sell all their earthly possessions and buy enough sustenance for the journey to come. The young man, a flautist, is not convinced, but will the other become converts to this suspiciously familiar pair of cult leaders? Erik and Justin get lost in the Heaven's Gate of it all as the movie is based on the early activities of Marshall Applewhite and his partner at the time. The evidence of the film's 1979 production is also very apparent. Erik defies Justin's expectation about his knowledge of the movie's existence. An X-Files discussion breaks out. Erik appreciates the presence of Dynasty star John Forsythe, Alice's Vic Tayback, and a few other notable faces. Desk chili becomes surprisingly important. Rules, of course, do not apply to Michael B. Jordan. The ambiguity about the Mysterious Two proves to be the film's greatest flaw. But will the film's overall beige-ness prove a barrier, too? 

In today's analysis, I've unpacked how Anthropic's new AI tools are dismantling the corporate software world and why the latest Epstein disclosures have the British establishment—and Peter Mandelson—under fire. I also take a look at the "derangement" in Zimbabwe, where government propaganda about bumper crops is being met with the reality of empty shops.

Send us a textIn this episode, Scott Kuhlman and Chasity Owens sit down with returning guest Attorney Lauren Guber for a real-world conversation on how fire investigations hold up when the stakes are high—especially in court. The episode kicks off with a sharp comparison between the U.S. approach to fire investigation standards and the UK's “Code of Practice” concept, which reads more like “you shall” than “you should.” From there, Lauren breaks down what attorneys actually lean on when challenging an expert: your credentials, your investigation, and what you didn't do—and why being “qualified” under NFPA 1033 isn't the same thing as being “certified,” even though juries may treat it that way. The crew also digs into why continuing education matters (even more than years on the job), how peer review can sharpen investigators fast, and why programs like the Science Advisory Workgroup (“SAW group”) are a game-changer for improving report quality and courtroom readiness.You'll also hear highlights from a SAW group showcase in Oregon—where investigators presented cases, the audience got reports via QR code to follow along, and the panel asked the kind of questions that feel a lot like trial pressure (but with a learning-first vibe). The conversation closes with Lauren's practical courtroom advice: don't downplay your experience, tell your story clearly (especially for juries), and for the love of the transcript—slow down so the court reporter can keep up. Plus, the episode drops quick industry updates (“WTF We Train Frequently”), sponsor chatter, and ends on a nerdy teaser: what's the difference between a chromatograph and a chromatogram—and why fire investigators should actually know.Kansas Annual Conference (WTF We Train Frequently) — February 3–5, 2026 (Wichita, Kansas)IAAI Evidence Collection Technician (ECT) — Local/Orange County — February 20, 2026 (Irvine, California; Orange County Fire Authority HQ)California Conference of Arson Investigators (CCAI) Annual Training — February 23–26, 2026 (California)New Mexico Annual Training Conference — February 23–27, 2026 (Albuquerque, New Mexico)Georgia Fire Investigators Association Spring Conference — March 16–19, 2026 (Cobb, Georgia)Thank you for listening!

Welcome to a brand new series here on the podcast I'm calling "On Becoming: The Art and Craft of Personal Storytelling." In this series, we'll dig deep into college essays from past students, talking about why we love them and how they came to be.  For me, this title "On Becoming" speaks not just to the craft of writing (how a story came to be), but to what I believe the personal statement is at its best: a record of becoming… the beautiful, sometimes messy process of witnessing someone learn to better understand themselves, articulate their values, and claim their voice in the world. Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or just someone who loves great stories, we hope there's something here for you. In our first episode, I sit down with Amanda McRaven, a dear friend and one of my first hires at College Essay Guy. In this episode, we dig into: Two of our favorite essays from former students A little behind the scenes of how they came to be, and The techniques that helped these stories reveal truths about the students who wrote them.  Amanda McRaven is an artist, teacher, theater director, and storyteller living in the Pacific Northwest. She's a veteran educator and writer with over 15 years of experience coaching students through the college essay process. But what really sets Amanda apart is her approach. She helps students mine their lives for meaning—to find the gold in seemingly ordinary moments, and to connect the dots between experiences in ways that feel alive, honest, and deeply human.  We hope you enjoy!   Play-by-Play: 3:20 – Something these two essays have in common 4:32 – How does Amanda help students find creative ways to tell their stories?  5:50 – What did early drafts of the "My Desk" essay look like?  6:45 – Amanda and Ethan analyze the intro paragraph of the "My Desk" essay   13:24 – Analysis of paragraph 2 – Laptop 19:30 – Analysis of paragraph 3 – Stack of books 26:11 – Analysis of paragraph 4 – Bead Bracelet 31:59 – Analysis of the final paragraph – Conclusion  34:49 – Ethan introduces the "Magic" essay 41:30 – What did the student's writing process look like for the "Magic" essay?  47:55 – How does the author incorporate values and extracurricular activities together with the topic?  51:22 – How can students find more uncommon connections or topics to write about in their essays? 56:20 – What can students take away from the "Magic" essay?  58:34 – What does Amanda enjoy most about working with students on essays?  1:00:13 – Closing thoughts    Resources: "My Desk" Essay "Magic" Essay College Essay Essentials  College Essay Guy's Personal Statement Resources College Essay Guy's College Application Hub

Deep Dive: Anthony Albanese is weighing an invitation to join a group integral to Donald Trump’s plan to permanently end the war in Gaza - the so-called ‘Board of Peace.’ With major allies declining to take part and accusations that it’s a power grab laden with human rights risks, questions are growing over whether it’s a genuine security solution or simply a Trump vanity project.
