News: It is that time of the year to start planning for the Halloween season at Disneyland. Next week, Oogie Boogie Bash tickets go on sale. This is a competetive event to get tickets for, so be sure to get in early and pick your dates. Inspire Magic Key holders can get tickets starting on June 24th no earlier then 9am Disneyland time, with all other Magic Key holders having an opportunity starting June 25th. General public sales start on June 26th. Dates start even before the Halloween season on August 17th, and run through October 31st. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/2025-halloween-at-disneyland-oogie-boogie-bash-dates-and-more/ There are some other updates on the Halloween season at the resort. For 2025, Halloween Time will start on August 22nd and run through October 31st. Mickey and Minnie will get new outfits for the occasion, as usual. This time they will be a twist on the 70th costumes! Haunted Mansion Holiday is returning, along with Halloween Screams. Over in Disney California Adventure, Luigi's Honkin' Haul-O-Ween, Mater's Junkyard JamBOOree, and Guardians of the Galaxy – Monsters After Dark are returning. Mickey's Trick and Treat is coming to the Disney Theater for the fall, replacing Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live! Of course food and merchandise will be along as well. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/2025-halloween-at-disneyland-oogie-boogie-bash-dates-and-more/ With Halloween Time and Disneyland's 70th happening at the same time, you might wonder what is staying from the 70th during the spooky season. Paint the Night, World of Color – Happiness, and Tapestry of Happiness will continue to run throughout the season. Disney says “areas and attractions around the resort will retain special touches, including decorative accents and the colorful castle photo opportunity in the esplanade.” – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/2025-halloween-at-disneyland-oogie-boogie-bash-dates-and-more/ This Saturday, a few authors of Disneyland books will be at Wonderground for a book release and signing. Don Hahn and Christopher Merrit will be on hand to sign The Happiest Place on Earth: The Incredible Story of Walt Disney's Disneyland, Martha Blanding and Tim O'Day for Groundbreaking Magic: A Black Woman's Journey Through the Happiest Place on Earth, Matthew Reinhart for Disneyland Park (a Pop-Up Park Tour), and finally Bob Weis with Dream Chasing: My Four Decades of Success and Failure with Walt Disney Imagineering. The event is from 10am-11:30am. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ A couple of construction items that we have been following at the resort have some updates. Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room has a reopening date of July 3rd! Pixie Hollow has been behind construction walls for a while now, and looks to be returning on June 29th. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ When we were in the parks a few weeks ago, we noticed new lamp posts in front of Main Street Station, by the Mickey floral. Walls are back up in this area to install more of these lamp posts. The new lights look like gas lamps, but use regular bulbs with a mesh over them to give a vintage look. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ We talked about the neat Magic Band touch points around Disneyland in a previous episode, but there was still one location that had not come online yet. The last point in Tomorrowland, themed to Autopia is finally online. This one is a bit of a letdown as this one only makes car noises when activated. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ An update that came to Epcot at Walt Disney World has made its way to DCA! Soarin' Around the World has been updated to fix the skewed Eiffel Tower in the attraction. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ Over on Pixar Pier, the new Rex meet-and-greet is available. Rex is out and looks as adorably scary (if you can say that about Rex). – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ SnackChat: Trip Food (Savory Eats Treats) Discussion Topic: Spring 2025 Disneyana Event The Happiest Place on Earth- Chris Merritt and Don Hahn – https://www.laughingplace.com/w/disney-parks/d23-live-stream-happiest-place-on-earth/

Your first year of teaching often feels like pure survival mode. It's usually not until your second year that you can finally take a breath, make intentional plans, and start growing as an educator. My guest on today's episode, Teresa Grosboll, knows that feeling all too well. She's sharing what it really takes to not just survive, but thrive in your second year—and how the R.E.A.D.Y. for School Academy helped boost her confidence and get her classroom organized as she headed into year two.

Cycle of Lives: 15 People's Stories, 5,000 Miles, and a Journey Through the Emotional Chaos of CancerAmazon Bestseller in "Brain Cancer"Have you ever been forced to consider the fact of your mortality? If confronted with cancer, how would you feel? What would you say to the people you love? What would they say to you?No two people have the same answers to these questions, a lesson I learned well during a solo six-week, 5,000-mile cross-country bike ride I called Cycle of Lives. The trip started as a fundraiser in honor of my sister, June, who died of brain cancer. But long before I even set out on my endurance ride from L.A. to Florida to N.Y., I exhaustively interviewed fifteen people across the country whose lives had also been irrevocably changed by cancer—either as patients, survivors, loved ones, or caregivers.Want to be a guest on Book 101 Review?

Let's be honest: teaching gets tough. As a beginning teacher, you're stepping into a world where success isn't defined by perfection, but by perseverance. There will be challenges — tough students, long nights, and moments of doubt — but grit is what will carry you through. In today's episode, inspired by Angela Duckworth's book Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, I'm sharing why grit is so important in teaching and offering a few practical ways you can begin to develop it.

The highly watched Netflix 2018 documentary Wild Wild Country for people “in the know” was terribly biased. There were no former members. No cult experts. The two people featured were still “true believers in the cult leader, Rajneesh–who was rebranded after his expulsion from the United States as Osho. This cult took over the small town of Antelope, Oregon through deceit and the commune was the relocation from Pune India, where the cult leader had with a history of legal problems, including owing back taxes and claims of drug smuggling. What was missing was what it was actually like to live at the ashram as a child, like Sarito Carroll did til the commune was disbanded due to criminal activities. On this episode of Cult Conversations: The Influence Continuum, I spoke with Sarito Carroll, about her 2024 memoir In the Shadow of Enlightenment: A Girl's Journey Through the Osho Rajneesh Cult, to hear and share more of the real story of what it was like growing up within the cult. Sarito is a passionate writer who was initiated into the cult by Rajneesh himself at nine years old in the late 1970s. She described her latest books as exploring “the complexities of belonging, trauma, the struggle to break free of cultic ties, and the long journey towards self-acceptance.” The book follows her journey to exit the cult and eventually begin a career as a technical writer and attain her Master of Science in Chinese Medicine in 2007, despite never attaining a proper education through the cult.

Combining the power of the Magnetic Memory Method with this crucial topic is a meaningful endeavor. Grandpa Bill is crafting some mnemonics and memory palace locations to help myself, and you all- internalize and deliver this information effectively for my podcast and YouTube episodes.Grandpa Bill Continues Today Talking:Giving the heavy nature of this topic, a location that evokes a sense of history, perhaps with both dark and hopeful elements?Consider:A Historical Museum: Each room or section could represent a different aspect of the descent into violence, human cost, resistance, and aftermath.A Journey Through a Symbolic Landscape: Start in a place representing early signs of intolerance, move through a dark forest symbolizing violence, emerge into a field of resilience, and finally reach a place of remembrance.A Grand Old Library: Different sections could house the "books" of each stage, with specific shelves or reading nooks holding key details.For these examples, let's use the Historical Museum as our primary Memory Palace.1. The Descent into Violence:Location 1: The "Seeds of Hatred" Exhibit (Museum Entrance Hall)Location 2: The "Authority's Grip" Exhibit (Darkened Room with a Stage)Location 3: The "Mechanics of Perpetration" Exhibit (Glass Cases Displaying Horrific Objects)2. The Human Cost:Location 4: The "Hall of Loss and Trauma" (Room with Empty Frames and Eerie Sounds)Location 5: The "Displacement and Dispossession Gallery" (Room with Scattered Belongings and Maps)Location 6: The "Shattered Communities Exhibit" (Room with Broken Pottery and Divided Walls)3. Resistance and Resilience:Location 7: The "Acts of Courage" Gallery (Room with Heroic Statues)Location 8: The "Moments of Defiance" Exhibit (Room with Powerful Imagery of Protest)Location 9: The "Survival and Memory Archive" (Room with Books and Testimonial Videos)4. The Aftermath and Legacy:Location 10: The "Hall of Justice" (Formal Room with Scales of Justice)Location 11: The "Truth and Reconciliation Forum" (Open Space with People Talking)Location 12: The "Remembrance and Education Center" (Room with Monuments and Interactive Displays)Journaling and Index Cards:After creating these vivid images and PAO stories, GB immediately journals about them.

Our brains are wired to worry, so it's only natural for you to wonder how you'll handle the unknown of the coming school year. Using two real-life teacher examples, I'll show how fear and worry about potential challenges can be addressed with simple, actionable strategies. Each concern is valid, but by focusing on what's true and what's working, you'll start to recognize your growth and reframe the fear. You'll also see how making small, strategic adjustments can make next year feel far more manageable.

In a recent podcast episode, MacLane Wilkison, CEO of tLabs and co-founder of Threshold Network, shared a compelling vision for Bitcoin's future in decentralized finance (DeFi). At the center of the discussion was tBTC, a permissionless Bitcoin bridge designed to expand Bitcoin's utility across DeFi ecosystems, while maintaining security and user control.A Journey Through the Crypto SpaceWilkison's crypto journey began back in 2013 at the Hacker Dojo, where he first explored Bitcoin and connected with early builders of projects like Cosmos and Dfinity. That curiosity later led him to co-found NuCypher, a data privacy protocol for decentralized applications. Today, his experience fuels the direction of Threshold Network and tBTC, with a strong focus on unlocking new use cases for Bitcoin without compromising core principles like decentralization and transparency.Understanding tBTC: A Safer, Fully-Decentralized Bitcoin BridgeUnlike centralized solutions like Wrapped Bitcoin (wBTC), which rely on a single custodian, tBTC uses a decentralized network of signers to hold Bitcoin in custody. This distributed model minimizes counterparty risk and allows users to retain ownership of their BTC, even while it's being used in DeFi applications.One of tBTC's most promising features is that it allows users to put their Bitcoin to work—earning yield through lending, market making, and other DeFi strategies—without selling their BTC. As Wilkison explains, “We want to give Bitcoin holders more tools to participate in DeFi, while staying true to Bitcoin's core values of control and self-sovereignty.”Threshold Network has recently undergone a strategic shift—streamlining its focus solely on tBTC and ending inflation of the T token. This restructuring has created a direct link between the adoption of tBTC and the value of the T token, contributing to reported network profitability in Q1 through bridge fee revenues.Bridging Across Ecosystems, Not Betting on Just OneWilkison noted that the current DeFi ecosystem remains fragmented, with platforms like Ethereum, Solana, and new Bitcoin layer-2s all competing for developer attention. But tBTC is built to be platform-agnostic—bridging Bitcoin into whatever ecosystem users choose to participate in.Looking ahead, Threshold is keeping a close eye on developments like BitVM2, which could further strengthen the security and decentralization of Bitcoin bridges. “Our goal is to make tBTC the most secure and trust-minimized way to use Bitcoin in DeFi,” Wilkison said.As the conversation wrapped, Wilkison offered a clear message to developers: focus on building tools that matter. “Don't chase trends. Build something that lasts and solves real problems,” he said.MacLane Wilkison's insights into tBTC and the broader DeFi ecosystem underscore the potential for Bitcoin to play a pivotal role in decentralized finance. By prioritizing security, user control, and innovative yield opportunities, tBTC is poised to become a key player in bridging Bitcoin with the diverse world of DeFi.

Summary The video covers a guided meditation session led by Kevin Deegan, designed to help listeners discover their true calling and life purpose. Through a carefully crafted visualization exercise, Kevin guides participants through a relaxation sequence, followed by a journey through a metaphorical portal to explore their ideal work and purpose. The meditation combines elements of nature imagery, deep breathing techniques, and visualization to facilitate personal insight and self-discovery. Highlights Initial Relaxation and Breathing Exercise Kevin begins by instructing listeners to find a quiet space and comfortable position, incorporating deep breathing exercises. He uses vivid imagery of tension releasing like 'golden sand drifting into the wind' and encourages participants to sink into a state of deep relaxation, comparing it to floating on a tranquil lake under stars. Visualization of Sacred Landscape Kevin guides participants to envision a peaceful landscape of their choosing, offering examples such as a sun-dappled forest, vast desert at sunset, or misty mountaintop at dawn. He creates an immersive experience by incorporating sensory details and natural elements. Journey Through the Portal Kevin describes a magical archway formed from natural elements that serves as a portal to deeper wisdom. He guides participants through this gateway into a vision of their perfect work and true calling, encouraging them to observe the details and emotions that arise during this experience. Return and Integration Kevin guides participants back through the portal to their peaceful sanctuary, instructing them to hold onto their insights. He leads a gentle return to physical awareness through gradual body movements and encourages documentation of the experience. The session concludes with an invitation to reflect on the received wisdom.

Anxiety has long been a massive societal issue that spiked during the pandemic, and many of us are still feeling it in 2025. In this episode, renowned Buddhist monk Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche talks in detail about how he personally works with anxiety and panic and the practices he draws upon when dealing with these states.  Mingyur began doing long retreats in his teens and now teaches all over the world.  He's written the books The Joy of Living: Unlocking the Secret and Science of Happiness and In Love with the World: A Monk's Journey Through the Bardos of Living and Dying. He also oversees the Tergar Meditation Community, a global network of Buddhist meditation centers.   This episode was originally published in July 2022. In this episode we talk about:  Working with strong emotions using sound and the breath Deconstructing your reality to make it workable Understanding what awareness is in a Buddhist sense  How to make meditation free-range and available to you all times  The simple but also tricky advice of, “stop doing and just be”  When to take a step back or even take a break from meditation What Mingyur Rinpoche says is the true purpose of the practice. This interview was recorded in person at the TED conference in April of 2022, where both Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche and Dan Harris spoke.   Join Dan's online community here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel

Teacher interviews can be intimidating and often feels like you're stepping into the unknown. But the hidden secret to a successful interview doesn't show up on a resume, a lesson plan you once taught, or even your knowledge of content standards. Instead, it's about your interview energy.
