The most common complaint we get from clients about their sales team is that they are too passive.  They are great at farming, but not great at hunting, growing the size of the existing business and finding new buyers.  “It is as if they were working for the buyer and not for our company, because they bend over backwards to keep the client happy. Maybe too happy”, is not an unusual comment.  On the other end of the scale is the American style hard sell effort which takes no prisoners, brooks no hesitation and keeps pushing until a deal gets done.  For Japan, that will never fly, so we need something in the middle.   Where is the line though?  When is too much, too much?  Some schools of thought are that you need to push until you get regular resistance, because that is the point where you realise you have taken it to the limit for Japan.  This whole equation is complex.  Ultimately, I believe we need to become the trusted partner of the buyer.  When they feel we are working to help them succeed, we are on the right track, without forgetting who we are working for and who pays our salary and commissions.    In my view, weak salespeople just fold in the face of every client demand, no matter the consequences for their own firm.  This is especially painful when it comes to revenues.  Many times, these salespeople are earning commissions on what they sell, so you would expect that their own self-interest would dictate that they do not discount too heavily to win the business. Unfortunately, because they don't have skills around explaining the value, they cave and drop the price every time, even though it hurts them financially.  Their view is that they would rather have a client gained at a big discount, because finding new clients is so much harder.   Generally speaking, in Japan starting low and then trying to elevate the buyer's appetite to pay more for the existing solution doesn't work all that well.   Once they get you down to a low price that then becomes the ceiling, not even the floor, for them no matter how hard you explain this is a once in a lifetime case, a rarity, an exception, an instance of the planets in the Milky Way aligning once every thousand years.  They just see that as the ceiling and then try to work you lower.  When I was selling solutions from Australia, I had to tell the Aussie suppliers not to go in with their “best price” in Japan, because they would then be on the back foot trying to defend it, as they came under assault for more discounts.   I used to do a lot of networking at events in the good old days before the pandemic.  We might finally be getting back to some of that in Japan, wearing masks and trying to avoid super spreader events.  You need a thick skin to use networking as a tool for gaining clients.  Foreigners can be brutal.  We have a 50/50 split between multi-national and domestic clients, so I attend a lot of foreign chamber sponsored events. I was walking into an event and this guy refused my business card when I offered it, because he said he was only there for the information and didn't want to meet anyone.  Ouch!  At another Chamber event, a businessman saw me heading his way and started complaining “You are always spamming me!!”. Ouch!  At another event when I caught the attention of a potential client, to engage him, the guy he had been talking to, snidely noted “Here you are Greg, always stealing people's attention”. Ouch!   What is too much?  Whenever people complain that I am doing too much networking, or networking too hard, internally, I have a little smile to myself.  Usually, the people making these comments are not in sales and have no idea how hard it is to land a new client.  I had one of my staff come back from a Chamber networking event very upset.  They were telling  me that someone there was badmouthing me.  What do you do about this type of thing?   My answer to these few critics is simple.  I try to explain that as a sales leader, I don't ask my team to do prospecting that I won't do myself. I try to lead from the front, as a role model and example.  I continue to explain to them, “that is why I am working hard to find new people we can help, because we know what we do can make a difference in improving their businesses”.  Then I lower the boom, I hit them with the big one, I smash them when I say, “Wouldn't you want your sales leaders and sales teams making the maximum effort to find new buyers, to expand the range of companies you can serve?”.   There is really nowhere to go in response to that argument.  If they still say “it is too much”, then you can respond with, “does that mean your competitors are inactive and you have the market to yourself and you don't have to constantly keep pushing for new business?”.  Very few people can withstand this line of reasoning. Secretly, they are flooded with shame, shortcomings and guilt because they know their sales teams are passive, maybe great farmers but timid hunters and they wish their people had more of our grit and determination.   What about the damage to the brand?  This is a concern. In business, getting a bad reputation is bad anywhere, but in Japan bad news travels at hyper speed.  Even worse, amongst the multi-national company leaders, we foreigners are living in a small village here in Tokyo and again you don't want mud being attached to your name. I recall one prominent person here posting a note on LinkedIn, asking about the whereabouts of another well known personality, because they owed them money.  That kind of stuff takes your breath away and sends a cold shiver up your spine.   The reality is the worst that critics, rivals and the jealous can say about you is that you were aggressive or pushy or unreasonable or annoying.  One person saying that is just that one voice.  If multiples of people are going around condemning you, then you have a major problem.  Frankly, if you operate with integrity and have a passion for helping other's businesses succeed, then these outrageous slings and arrows will bounce off you.   I would rather be pushing, striving, working hard than worrying about what nobodies have to say.  The people we serve well will know our value and values and they are the people to refer us and to keep using us.  This is the key audience for us and we shouldn't be shy about trying to grow their number.  For salespeople this Winston Churchill quote is apt, “You have enemies? Good.  That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life”.  Also, remember Thomas J. Watson of IBM fame noted, “nothing happens until something gets sold”. That is our job – to keep the wheels of industry turning by selling solutions which transform people's careers and businesses.

University of Arizona astronomers have identified five examples of a new class of star system. They're not quite galaxies and only exist in isolation. The new stellar systems contain only young, blue stars, which are distributed in an irregular pattern and seem to exist in surprising isolation from any potential parent galaxy. Mysterious ‘Blue Blobs' Reveal New Star System The stellar systems – which astronomers say appear through a telescope as “blue blobs” and are about the size of tiny dwarf galaxies – are located within the relatively nearby Virgo galaxy cluster. The five systems are separated from any potential parent galaxies by over 300,000 lightyears in some cases, making it challenging to identify their origins. The astronomers found the new systems after another research group, led by the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy's Elizabeth Adams, compiled a catalogue of nearby gas clouds, providing a list of potential sites of new galaxies. Once that catalogue was published, several research groups, including one led by UArizona associate astronomy professor David Sand, started looking for stars that could be associated with those gas clouds. The gas clouds were thought to be associated with our own galaxy, and most of them probably are, but when the first collection of stars, called SECCO1, was discovered, astronomers realized that it was not near the Milky Way at all, but rather in the Virgo cluster, which is much farther away but still very nearby in the scale of the universe. SECCO1 was one of the very unusual “blue blobs,” said Michael Jones, a postdoctoral fellow in the UArizona Steward Observatory and lead author of a study that describes the new stellar systems. Jones presented the findings, which Sand co-authored, during the 240th American Astronomical Society meeting in Pasadena, California, Wednesday. “It's a lesson in the unexpected,” Jones said. “When you're looking for things, you're not necessarily going to find the thing you're looking for, but you might find something else very interesting.” The team obtained their observations from the Hubble Space Telescope, the Very Large Array Telescope in New Mexico and the Very Large Telescope in Chile. Study co-author Michele Bellazzini, with the Istituto Nazionale di Astrofisica in Italy, led the analysis of the data from the Very Large Telescope and has submitted a companion paper focusing on that data. Together, the team learned that most of the stars in each system are very blue and very young and that they contain very little atomic hydrogen gas. This is significant because star formation begins with atomic hydrogen gas, which eventually evolves into dense clouds of molecular hydrogen gas before forming into stars. “We observed that most of the systems lack atomic gas, but that doesn't mean there isn't molecular gas,” Jones said. “In fact, there must be some molecular gas because they are still forming stars. The existence of mostly young stars and little gas signals that these systems must have lost their gas recently.” The combination of blue stars and lack of gas was unexpected, as was a lack of older stars in the systems. Most galaxies have older stars, which astronomers refer to as being “red and dead.” “Stars that are born red are lower mass and therefore live longer than blue stars, which burn fast and die young, so old red stars are usually the last ones left living,” Jones said. “And they're dead because they don't have any more gas with which to form new stars. These blue stars are like an oasis in the desert, basically.” The fact that the new stellar systems are abundant in metals hints at how they might have formed. “To astronomers, metals are any element heavier than helium,” Jones said. “This tells us that these stellar systems formed from gas that was stripped from a big galaxy, because how metals are built up is by many repeated episodes of star formation, and you only really get that in a big galaxy.” Gas stripped from galaxy forming...

Heber Curtis didn't set out to become an astronomer. In fact, he wasn't interested in astronomy at all. At the University of Michigan, he studied classical languages. And he taught Greek and Latin at both high school and college levels. Yet Curtis eventually became one of the leading astronomers of his time. And he took part in one of the most famous events in astronomy history: the Great Debate. Heber Curtis, 1918 Curtis was born 150 years ago today, in Muskegon, Michigan. After his foray into classical languages, he switched to math and astronomy. And in 1902, he joined the staff of Lick Observatory, in California. There, he took part in several expeditions to view solar eclipses. And for five years, he led the observatory's station in Chile. Mostly, though, he studied “nebulae” — objects other than stars or planets. At the time, their nature was poorly understood. Some astronomers thought that all of them were motes of matter inside our own galaxy. That meant the Milky Way made up the entire universe. On the other hand, Curtis and others thought that some of the nebulae were separate galaxies of stars outside the Milky Way. In 1920, Curtis and Harlow Shapley debated the subject in Washington, D.C. Most observers thought Shapley won. In the end, though, Curtis was proven right — greatly expanding the universe. Curtis directed several observatories during the remainder of his career. He died in 1942 — an astronomer who knew his Latin.  Script by Damond Benningfield Support McDonald Observatory

Most Astronomers find it hard to believe that given perhaps a trillion planets in the Milky Way alone that our Earth is the only one which hosts living organisms. It is both exciting and terrifying to realize we have no concept of what living forms may exist outside Earth in the Milky Way.

A University of Arizona-led team of astronomers has created a detailed, three-dimensional image of a dying hypergiant star. The team, led by UArizona researchers Ambesh Singh and Lucy Ziurys, traced the distribution, directions and velocities of a variety of molecules surrounding a red hypergiant star known as VY Canis Majoris. Their findings, which they presented on June 13 at the 240th Meeting of the American Astronomical Society in Pasadena, California, offer insights, at an unprecedented scale, into the processes that accompany the death of giant stars. The work was done with collaborators Robert Humphreys from the University of Minnesota and Anita Richards from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. Extreme supergiant stars known as hypergiants are very rare, with only a few known to exist in the Milky Way. Examples include Betelgeuse, the second brightest star in the constellation Orion, and NML Cygni, also known as V1489 Cygni, in the constellation Cygnus. Unlike stars with lower masses – which are more likely to puff up once they enter the red giant phase but generally retain a spherical shape – hypergiants tend to experience substantial, sporadic mass loss events that form complex, highly irregular structures composed of arcs, clumps and knots. Located about 3,009 light-years from Earth, VY Canis Majoris – or VY CMa, for short – is a pulsating variable star in the slightly southern constellation of Canis Major. Spanning anywhere from 10,000 to 15,000 astronomical units (with 1 AU being the average distance between Earth and the sun) VY CMa is possibly the most massive star in the Milky Way, according to Ziurys. “Think of it as Betelgeuse on steroids,” said Ziurys, a Regents Professor with joint appointments in UArizona Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry and Steward Observatory, both part of the College of Science. “It is much larger, much more massive and undergoes violent mass eruptions every 200 years or so.” The team chose to study VY CMa because it is one of the best examples of these types of stars. “We are particularly interested in what hypergiant stars do at end of their lives,” said Singh, a fourth-year doctoral student in Ziurys' lab. “People used to think these massive stars simply evolve into supernovae explosions, but we are no longer sure about that.” “If that were the case, we should see many more supernovae explosions across the sky,” Ziurys added. “We now think they might quietly collapse into black holes, but we don't know which ones end their lives like that, or why that happens and how.” Previous imaging of VY CMa with NASA's Hubble Space Telescope and spectroscopy showed the presence of distinct arcs and other clumps and knots, many extending thousands of AU from the central star. In Search of Details on the Deaths of Rare Giant Stars To uncover more details of the processes by which hypergiant stars end their lives, the team set out to trace certain molecules around the hypergiant and map them to preexisting images of the dust, taken by the Hubble Space Telescope. “Nobody has been able to make a complete image of this star,” Ziurys said, explaining that her team set out to understand the mechanisms by which the star sheds mass, which appear to be different from those of smaller stars entering their red giant phase at the end of their lives. “You don't see this nice, symmetrical mass loss, but rather convection cells that blow through the star's photosphere like giant bullets and eject mass in different directions,” Ziurys said. “These are analogous to the coronal arcs seen in the sun, but a billion times larger.” The team used the Atacama Large Millimeter Array, or ALMA, in Chile to trace a variety of molecules in material ejected from the stellar surface. While some observations are still in progress, preliminary maps of sulfur oxide, sulfur dioxide, silicon oxide, phosphorous oxide and sodium chloride were obtained. From these data, the group constructed an image of the gl...

This episode is sure to be a gas, Creep Street! This week, Maureen and Dylan discuss the story of a mad man who stalked the streets of a small midwestern American town in 1944. For a stretch of two weeks, the citizens of Mattoon, Illinois lived in terror of a masked mad man who was spraying lethal fumes into the homes of unsuspecting victims. But was this monster even a man at all? Always evading capture, the gassy maniac soon grew into a supernatural legend. Was an evil scientist on the loose, or was this a paranormal being from another dimension entirely? Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Mad Gasser!

Support the scientific revolution: https://bit.ly/3lcAasB UC Berkeley professor Gibor Basri studies brown dwarves - cool objects that are not quite planets, not quite stars. But before we could get to the strange phenomena of these deuterium and lithium fuses, we have to cover some basics. How do you tell the difference between a planet and a star? Is it thief formation, their location, or something else entirely? The answer is fuzzier than you would expect - and requires us to take a trip into the dark, cool reaches of our galaxy, where stars and planets alike are being formed in the safety of the nebular nurseries hidden in the dark arms of our pinwheel Milky Way. There we discover that star formation, often spoken of as an exclusively gravitational process, is midwifed by chemistry, electricity, and magnetism. Come explore what happens in the dark, cold reaches of space, and how the darkness gives rise to light. #astronomy #astrophysics #paradigmshift Paper mentioned by Christopoulos: 111 years of magic are enough: let us return to science now https://www.researchgate.net/publication/309576615_111_years_of_Magic_are_enough_Let_us_return_to_Science_now Check our short-films channel, @DemystifySci: https://www.youtube.com/c/DemystifyingScience Join our mailing list https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S PODCAST INFO: Anastasia completed her PhD studying microbial communication at Columbia University.

Space scientists have a new treasure trove of data to download about almost two billion stars. The European Space Agency's GAIA telescope observes our galaxy, the Milky Way, some 1.5 million kilometres away from Earth at lagrange point two. Its mission is to create the most accurate and complete multi-dimensional map of the Milky Way. The latest data includes new information including what the galaxy is made of, the motion of the stars, and it has also observed so-called starquakes. Space.com writer Tereza Pultarova spoke to Corin Dann.

Dave Brisbin 6.19.22 Physical survival depends on how well we manage and compete for finite resources, a zero sum situation in which there's only so much oil in the ground, and our share always comes out of someone else's. Winners and losers. So we can be forgiven for embedding a scarcity mentality so deeply in our psyches that we pin it on God as well—keeping us forever fearful and defended, the opposite of the vulnerable connection love requires. Our concept of God is all-important. It orders our view of life and relationship, meaning, purpose, identity. It regulates our fear. Or not. Jesus knows this and works hard to draw his people away from the anthropomorphic images of God as Ab—father in Hebrew that carries images of the fierce tribal leader presented in early Hebrew scripture and the legal judge presented by the Pharisees and other first century contemporaries. The names we use for God mirror our concepts of God, so instead of Ab, Jesus used Abba, which adds a feminine ending, a unity of transcendent father and immanent mother, a balance of power and intimacy with whom we can both be in awe and in love. Then in his model prayer, Jesus uses another name: “Our Father who art in heaven,” in Aramaic: abwoon d'bashmaya. In abwoon, AB, strong leader of the house, is joined with WN, the security of life that continues, presenting a genderless cosmic parent who causes the flow of birthing, creation. The D and B prefixes in d'bashmaya show God not living in heaven but identified with heaven as the visible face of God's inner essence…the heavens, the universe, show us who our Father is. Science tells us there are up to 2 trillion galaxies in the observable universe with up to 700 billion stars in even a small galaxy like our Milky Way. Most stars have planets, if like Earth, contain up to a trillion species with billions or trillions of life forms each. The universe tells us our God is insanely extravagant, abundant beyond belief. No scarcity. No zero sum. God is an inexhaustible, overflowing love of life. Can't diminish it; can't earn it. Admission is free and every seat is front row center. Once we experience that, we know there is nothing to fear.

Welcome to episode 32 of The Way Out Is In: The Zen Art of Living, a podcast series mirroring Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh's deep teachings of Buddhist philosophy: a simple yet profound methodology for dealing with our suffering, and for creating more happiness and joy in our lives. This bonus episode showcases an interview between Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh and journalist Jo Confino from before Christmas 2011, during the winter retreat in Plum Village. It begins with a short introduction by Jo and Zen Buddhist monk Brother Phap Huu. This is a conversation about our relationship with Mother Earth, the need to move beyond the idea of ‘environment', and falling back in love with our life-giving planet. Thich Nhat Hanh talks about the ‘Buddha nature'; the Earth as a Bodhisattva; meditation as active awakening, and practical ways to bring about a collective awakening; the need for a cosmic religion not based on Dharma or belief; producing our own right view; dogmatism as a cause for separation and war; the most necessary teachings for our times; mindful and compassionate business; transforming suffering; collective awakening; and connecting to the Earth through mindfulness. Thay also further develops on his interest in science, and the benefits of a retreat for mindfulness practitioners and scientists. The interview also includes important advice to help activists maintain their motivation and peace amid chaos, and how to suffer less in order to help more.

So it is possible for us to conceive Buddha [as] not [being] in the form of a person.” “If you look around deeply, you realize that there isn’t anything as beautiful as our planet Earth. And that is why we should not try to abandon this beautiful planet, searching for something far away – whether that is called Pure Land, the Kingdom of God, or anything. And if we gain that insight, we see that the Earth is not only the environment; everything is us, and by taking care of the Earth we take care of ourselves.” “In Buddhism, we speak of meditation as an active awakening. To awake is to be awake to something. To be awake to the fact that the Earth is in danger and living species on Earth are also in danger. And that should be a collective awakening, in order to have enough strength for a change.” “Scientists are motivated by a desire to understand better, and Buddhist practitioners are also motivated by that kind of desire. But, in Buddhism, we keep in mind that understanding could help us suffer less. Any kind of understanding, true understanding, will help us suffer less. And the Buddhist tradition has elaborated ways of practicing in order to help people to suffer less. And in the process, they have found out many things about themselves and the world. They don’t use the scientific method, but they have a lot of insight and a lot of experiences. And I think they can share it with other people, including scientists.” “There are plenty of us who are activists, who are eager to do something. And we should go this way: we should begin with ourselves. We should begin with removing our wrong views, so that we can suffer less. And when we suffer less, we can be more helpful. We can help people to change.” “If you transcend the notion of birth and death, you are able to transcend the notion of being and non-being. And you know that to be or not to be, that’s no longer the question.” “When I drink tea, this is a wonderful moment. You do not need a lot of power or fame or money to be happy. Mindfulness can help you to be happy in the here and now; every moment can be a happy moment. Set an example and help people to do the same. Take a few minutes to experiment to see the truth.” “The Earth cannot be described either by the notion of matter or mind, which are just ideas, two faces of the same reality. That pine tree is not just matter, as it possesses a sense of knowing. A dust particle is not just matter since each of its atoms has intelligence and is a living reality.” “When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us; some kind of connection, of love is born. “We want to be connected. That is the meaning of love: to be at one. When you love someone, you want to say, ‘I need you, I take refuge in you.' You do anything for the benefit of the Earth and the Earth will do anything for your wellbeing.”

每日英語跟讀 Ep.K384: Lights out for darker skies at Hehuanshan   Hehuanshan, which is more than 3,000m above sea level, has excellent conditions for gazing stars and the Milky Way. In 2019, it was certified by the International Dark-Sky Association (IDA) and became the first internationally-recognized dark-sky park in Taiwan. 海拔三千多公尺的合歡山，是觀賞星空、銀河的絕佳環境，二○一九年獲得國際暗空協會（IDA）認證，成為台灣首座國際暗空公園。 There are only three IDA-certified dark-sky parks in Asia so far: Taiwan's Hehuanshan, Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park in Okinawa, Japan, and South Korea's Yeongyang Firefly Park. 目前在亞洲地區，僅有台灣合歡山、沖繩西表石垣國立公園、韓國英陽郡螢火蟲生態公園等三處通過國際暗空協會的認證，拿到「暗黑公園」之認可。 To protect the night sky resource and maintain a safe environment for facilities and personnel in the park, Nantou County Government Department of Tourism has drawn up the Nantou County Hehuanshan Dark-Sky Park Management and Autonomy Regulations. The regulations are expected to take effect after a review by Nantou County Council scheduled for later this month, and following approval by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. 南投縣政府觀光處為保護星空資源，並維護公園內環境設施及人員安全，制定「南投縣合歡山暗空公園管理自治條例」，預計在本月的議會審議通過，報請交通部核定後即可公布實施。 According to the eight-article regulations, the scope of the dark-sky park, which is defined in Article 2, starts at the 22.1km mark along Provincial Highway 14 (2km further along the highway from Yuanfeng Parking Lot), ends at the 27.5km mark, and extends 500m either side of the median line of the road. 「南投縣合歡山暗空公園管理自治條例」共有八條，第二條界定暗空公園範圍為台14甲線22.1公里處（鳶峰停車場以下兩公里）至台14甲線27.5公里處，以道路中心向兩側延伸五百公尺。 Article 5 of the Regulation stipulates that inside the dark-sky park, all external light from vehicles should be turned off within 3 minutes after parking, except for in cases of disaster relief or other emergencies. The luminous flux of portable lighting is limited to 500 lumens or under, must have a color temperature no higher than 3000K, and the irradiation angle should not be higher than the horizontal line of the light source. The use of a star pointer pen is limited to educational purposes, and must have a power rating not higher than 30 mW. Violations of the above regulations may be punished with a fine up to NT$1,000, and may be levied on a case-by-case basis. 自治條例第五條也明訂車輛在暗空公園停妥後三分鐘內應關閉對外所有光源，但涉及救災或其他緊急情況者，不在此限；使用可攜式照明之光通量限500流明以下、色溫3000K以下、照射角度不得高於光源水平線；指星筆限教學目的，並應使用30毫瓦以下之低功率類型。違反以上規定者可處一千元以下罰鍰，並得按次處罰。 In addition, Article 6 regulates the prohibition of campfires, picnics, camping, setting up tents, making noise, irregular parking, setting up stalls, operating aerial photography equipment, peddlers or engaging in performance activities in the park. 此外，第六條則規範禁止在園區有營火、野炊、露營、搭設棚帳、製造噪音及任意停車、設立攤位、操作空拍機、流動兜售或從事展演活動等行為。Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2022/06/07/2003779454

After six years of Hubble Space Telescopes and the hypothesis that millions of black holes exist in the Milky Way, scientists have finally found direct evidence for the existence of one such black hole. Plus, planetary formation, a wandering star, and this week in rocket history, we look back at China's first crewed space station docking.

Are we alone in the Universe? What exactly lies at the centre of our galaxy? Just like our podcast, the James Webb Space Telescope aims to answer some *very big questions*. Launched on Christmas Day 2021 and hurtling towards an orbit 1.5 million miles from the Earth, the JWST (as it's known to those in the business!) is a follow-up to the Hubble Space Telescope - and it's three times bigger. Decades in the making, the JWST will begin collecting and transmitting scientific data in July 2022, making this a really exciting time for astrophysicists such as Dr Becky Smethurst. We catch up with her to find out more.

Today I talked to astronomer Charlotte Christensen of Grinnell College. She studies (among other things) dwarf galaxies.  Dwarf galaxies, galaxies with masses about 10% that of the Milky Way or smaller, such as the Magellanic Clouds, are perfect laboratories for studying galaxy evolution. The small gravitational potentials of dwarf galaxies make them uniquely sensitive environments for understanding the physics of galaxy formation, including the processes that drive gas accretion, gas loss, and star formation. Dwarf satellites of the Milky Way or similar nearby galaxies may help constrain these processes, but only if the effect of the large halo environment the dwarf galaxies exist in can be well understood.  Marshall Poe is the founder and editor of the New Books Network.

The Gaia mission released its third ‘treasure trove' of observations and calculations of more than two billion stars in the Milky Way, including ‘starquakes', stellar DNA, binary star systems, and more. Plus, day one of the American Astronomical Society press conferences and updates on Starship and NASA's TROPICS-1 mission.  

In our busy lives we often spend more time checking off our to do list and getting on to the next task then we do actually experiencing the beauty and complexity of life. It's easy to take things for granted and miss the many opportunities for joy and fulfillment that are always available to us. When we learn to look deeply at ourselves, our relationships and the world around us, we find that gratitude and happiness arise naturally from within. This is the practice of mindfulness. Renee talks about learning to look deeply while on retreat with the Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh and gives some practical tips for living more fully by looking deeply right now. Thich Nhat Hanh passed away on Jan 22, 2022, after this throwback episode was recorded.

We're looking for wonders, exploring distant planets and discovering unusual natural phenomena. But one of the most fascinating wonders is right in the mirror - it's our body. I've gathered the most exciting body facts for you! For example, did you know that there're more nerve cells and connections in your brain than there're stars in the Milky Way? Another fascinating body fact is that you can physically see your nose, but the brain chooses to ignore it. How is it possible? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Is Jesus enough? Well, enough for what? Enough to help me get right with God, or understand life, or make it through the rough seasons of my years?  Is he really enough? The Colossian Christians initially thought so, but had been recently challenged in that conviction by intellectuals and religious teachers who sounded Christian, but who had a very different picture of the person of Jesus.  He was just a guy.  And he didn't know it all.  They were more enlightened and offered a better way, a more powerful experience of salvation; they had discovered the secrets of the universe, the higher principles of the unseen world.  And if you only believed in Jesus, you would be limited in what you could understand and experience––and that simply wasn't enough. •There are two very different pictures of Jesus––the Christian one and every other one.  The non-Christian portrait of Jesus is, at best, a limited one.  He was a good guy, an insightful teacher, a self-educated Jewish rabbi who spoke with authority and compassion. He certainly had a grasp on human nature and profound truths.  For a first century Jew, he was remarkably in touch.  He was special. But he was only human. So, as much as you like him, as much as you are drawn to his life, you can't see him much more than as a wonderful example to learn from and follow. And even then, you have to take what he said––and what others said about him––with a grain of salt.  •After all, he never traveled more than a couple of hundred miles from his home. He never saw a Toyota or drove a Subaru. Never flew in an airplane. Never used a cellphone. Never took an antibiotic. He never traveled outside of a few days' walk of the Mediterranean. Never ate a hamburger or washed it down with a coke. He never held a printed book in his hand or ripped open a package of M&Ms or brewed a steaming mug of coffee. He never enjoyed a bowl of strawberry ice cream, or held in His hand an iPhone. As a citizen of Century One, he couldn't have known about bacteria, or Covid19, or atoms and quarks, or black holes and the actual size of the universe; he had to have been ignorant of electricity and certainly couldn't have foreseen  the internet or OLED 4K Smart TVs or medical MRIs.  The population of the entire earth at that time equaled the population of just our country––a little over 300 million––which is a fraction of the 7 billion people alive today; and whole movements of history, including the rise of the United States with its Constitution of freedom and responsibilities, were yet to happen. As just a Jewish rabbi, he couldn't have known. So, yes, he was wonderful. Engaging. Insightful. A great model to remember and imitate. But he was not enough––not for the Colossians then who lived in Roman society far from the Jewish world, and certainly not enough for us in our advanced, technological, complex world today. So take Jesus. But you're going to need other truth, other insights, other traditions, something more to make it through life and live successfully. That's one view of Jesus. •And then there's the Christian view of Jesus.  Yes, he wore a robe and sandals. He ate kosher. He never had breakfast of bacon and eggs, never ordered a latte, never did a lot of things we take for granted. But there's a reason that guy who lived only a little over 3 decades and never travelled far from where he was born affected his world and all of human history since:  He wasn't just a guy. Who was He?  (Buckle up, because this could shake your back teeth.) Paul reminds them just who Jesus was, and is, and why He's enough. Paul believes (and he's dead on), that [How we think about Jesus determines how we respond to Jesus.] So he gives us three disturbing snapshots. Before I show you them, let me point out a startling observation: one little word recurs: is (e.g. 15, 17, 18a, b). Paul is not saying that Jesus lived a few decades ago, and died, and all we are left with is memories.  Paul insists that because of his resurrection, Jesus is. He is alive. He's as alive as you or I am--even more, because we're dying. He's not a dead guy in ancient history, but a person alive right now. So who is He? [1. HE IS GOD AND REVEALS GOD] (vs. 15a) image is a very revealing word: it describes the imprint of a picture on a coin (e.g. Mk. 12:16––Jesus took a coin and in making his point asked, “so whose image is on this coin?” They all knew: Caesar's); it's also used as a description of a person in a legal document that identified the individual by his distinguishing marks and characteristics so you'd know you were dealing with the right person. But when Paul says that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, he is saying more than just Jesus reveals God, he's asserting Jesus is God—that He is rightly identified as God! [JB Phillips: “Christ is the visible expression of the invisible God.”] This is the clear testimony of the New Testament: [John 1:1, 14; 1:18; 14:9; Heb. 1:3]. So Paul isn't saying that Jesus is godly, or that Jesus is like God, or that God is sort of like Jesus––he is saying that Jesus is God come in the flesh. So the answer to the question, “How do you recognize the living and true God?” is: look at Jesus. (Wait. That can't be. I can buy that God is in Jesus, or Jesus clearly reveals some of God's traits, but not that Jesus is God. Because, that would mean that the guy in the robe and sandals born in Bethlehem...created the universe.) Exactly: [2. HE IS THE CREATOR] Knowing that idea might pop off all our mental circuit breakers, Paul spends some ink on the startling implications: •He owns creation (vs. 15b): In English, we assume firstborn to mean, “first one of a number of children born in a family.” If it meant that, it would mean that God created Jesus first, and then Jesus created everything else. He was the first created. (That's how Jehovah Witnesses see Jesus.) But firstborn in a family was accorded rights and privileges that the other offspring weren't given. He would be his father's representative and would manage his household and eventually inherit the family property. The title described a position of rights and responsibilities––it wasn't saying really anything about how he came into existence. The title was used of Hebrew kings, picturing God's choice to entrust His kingdom to a ruler––and eventually came to refer to the Great Coming King, the Messiah: [Ps. 89:27 “And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.”/x] So Paul says Jesus is the Father's firstborn––not saying he was created, but that he inherits everything. All of creation is entrusted to Him to manage and belongs to Him. It's no wonder: •He was the agent of creation] (vs. 16a): When did creation happen? People speculate: 10,000 years ago? 10 million? 13 billion? Whatever you surmise, Paul is saying that this Person we knew as Jesus was around prior to the universe existing; that he brought into existence not only life as we know it, but earth, our solar system, and our own Milky Way galaxy. (I want to take a moment to show you just how shocking this statement is. Suppose we were to board a rocket intending to cross our galaxy, and we could travel the speed of light (186,000 miles per second); how long would it take to cross it? Answer: 100,000 years). This is asserting that this person we know as Jesus created not only our massive galaxy, but also the over 100 billion other galaxies in our observable universe. He was the one who made everything seen and unseen––both elephants and people, microbes and subatomic quarks, the human eye in all its designed glory and the glory of the unseen angels. John: [1:3/x] All this exists because of Jesus. In fact: •The universe exists for Him] (vs. 16b) Everything exists not only because of Him, but for Him. So any purpose of life that doesn't take into account Jesus, is shortsighted and false. You exist for Him. Only in Him will you find the reason why you exist, why you are in this life. And should you miss what Paul is asserting, or try to soften what he's saying about Jesus, he presses home the point: (vs. 17a) i.e: [•He existed before anything else] NB the repetition of all creation (vs. 15b); then all things (3x vs.16a,b, 17a). There was a time when nothing else existed except God. And Jesus. This is what John the apostle echoes: [John 1:1-2/x] •His will makes the universe predictable and purposeful] (vs. 17b) The point isn't simply that everything would blow up and fly apart if Jesus took a vacation. To hold together is a term that describes something ordered; that it is intentionally composed of parts that contribute to a cohesive whole. It's designed. [Heb. 1:3/x] So knowing that, we'd expect the universe to operate under predictable laws. And it does. Whether gravity or truth, whether the Law of thermodynamics or the Law of love, Jesus is the one by whose creative power they exist, and by whose providence they continue to be in effect. •Jesus is the Creator, the God of the universe. Yet we know and love Him more for this third and increasingly personal picture: [3. HE IS THE LORD AND SAVIOR] (vs. 18a) i.e. •He is the Head of the Church]: We use head to describe someone in charge: “he's the head of the company,” or “the head of the government.” It implies authority and responsibility. But Paul is saying more than just Jesus is in charge of the church, that he's the Lord and what he says should be authoritative. The picture is striking, because we're in it. Everyone who has believed in Jesus and has received the Spirit of God is part of His Body, the church. Every person in every generation in every place. We all are connected by His Spirit, and empowered to act in line with the head. You are not part of an organization (“the church”) but a living part of an organism, His Body. We see things through His eyes. We speak his words. We take directions from His will and share His mind. As He was the visible manifestation of the invisible God on earth 2000 years ago, so we are the visible manifestation of Him (much less perfectly) in our generation. I'm not sure I'd want me, but He does. And He is the One: NB •He is Lord of Life and Defeater of Death] (vs. 18b): the beginning is the word arch–-we get architect from it, and it means source––the whole church starts with Jesus. He's the most important Person because of Him, the church exists. No Jesus, no church. He came back from the dead. And He gives life, eternal life to all who trust in Him. You know what awaits you and me because we belong to Jesus? A resurrection from the dead. And then our bodies will be glorious, eternal and with boundless energy. And we'll enjoy life with God forevermore, as we have never ever to this day. This all came about not only because of who Jesus is, but what Jesus did: •He is where God and creation is reconciled] (vss. 19-20) As God, as the just and holy one, God is offended by our disregard of Him and our disobedience to His Laws. That reconciliation was needed by all creation means that all creation was at odds with its creator. In fact, the ancient decree of death was the penalty for that rebellion against Him; yet, that same payment was made by God Himself in behalf of his creation! •It's critical to see that Jesus was not only fully God, but fully human. It's the only way he could take our penalty. Did he have fingers and toes? Did he smile or chuckle? When he walked on dusty paths, did his shoes make footprints? Did he have a pulse and did he ever burp? Did his body function as ours and did he ever feel weary, elated, frustrated or hurt? It is with this physical body, in his real self, he suffered and died. In submitting to execution by a cross, he paid the penalty, not for his sin, not even for one other's, but for every human being who ever lived or would live. •At the cross, the place of execution on that dark afternoon in 33 AD, God in human form paid for the sins of all people, and made peace with God possible. The pivotal point in all human history is the cross. Everything turns on that single event. But what God did in Israel on that day long ago became very personal to each one of us through the message of the Gospel: Christ died in your place, for your guilt, as your Savior/your rescuer. He was raised from the dead as the Lord of life. He offers you forgiveness and new life if you repent and put your trust in Him. Conclusion: I don't know if you noticed it, but these portraits of Jesus grow increasingly personal as they progress: from His identity as the eternal God, to His relationship to all creation, to the church in general throughout the ages, to each one of us as redeemed individuals right now. •In Christianity, you are not focusing on principles, nor commandments, nor a philosophy, nor even a way of life; all these are there, but unlike any other religion, Christianity (and we who embrace it) are obsessed with a person, on the Promised One, the Messiah, the Christ. And for very good reason. He alone is enough. •How we think about Jesus determines how we respond to Jesus.] Jesus draws near to you, and approaches you as your God, your Creator, your Lord, your Savior.

There's an Eye in the Sky, Creep Street! On this episode, Maureen and Dylan discuss one of the most bizarre UFO events in UK history! On Christmas morning of 1964, something strange came to the English town of Warminster. Residents were besieged by deafening phantom sounds that, quite literally, shook them to their core. These strange sounds were quickly followed by all kinds of UFOs zipping across the sky. We're these UFOs tied to these phantom sounds or was something unthinkable responsible? Citizens of the Milky Way, prepare yourselves for The Warminster Thing!

While Carrie listens and tries to make sense of things, Ross recounts a paid talk by ufologist and “expert host” Billy Carson, who has the REAL story of how the Milky Way got here, what causes climate change, who created humans, and why we are here. Spoiler: it's bleak! For pics and videos, follow us on Facebook!

NASA says something strange is happening with our Universe and how quickly it's expanding. Scientists have been studying new data from the Hubble Space Telescope. They say the expansion rate has become much quicker compared to the expectations. Observations also showed other galaxies are moving away from our Milky Way faster.
