"It's Garry Shandling's Show" was a sitcom that aired on Showtime from 1986 to 1990 where Garry Shandling plays a fictionalized version of himself living in a suburban condo. The series was notable for breaking television conventions at the time, with Shandling directly addressing the audience, acknowledging that he was in a sitcom, and routinely mocking the artificial structures of television comedy. Its theme song even playfully narrated itself (“This is the theme to Garry's show…”), further underlining its meta, self-aware style. Reception was largely positive, with critics praising Shandling's wit, originality, and the show's willingness to lampoon television itself. The series helped establish Garry Shandling as a unique comedic voice, paving the way for his later, even more acclaimed HBO series The Larry Sanders Show. In retrospect, It's Garry Shandling's Show is remembered as a cult classic that pushed sitcom boundaries and inspired a new generation of TV comedy writers. Will the S1E1 boys enjoy a sitcom poking fun at sitcoms? Listen as they deep dive the show's first episode, "The Day Garry Moved In". Starring: Garry Shandling, Molly Cheek, Michael Tucci, Scott Nemes, Jason Bernard, Suzanne Kent, Shawn Ora Engemann, Geoffrey Blake, & Vanna White www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

At its heart, discipleship is about learning to be friends with Jesus and letting Him teach us how to love well. It's not about having all the answers or getting everything right—it's about showing up with an open heart and curious mind. We practice preparing ourselves to meet with God, not by checking off spiritual to-do lists, but by simply getting ready to receive whatever He wants to give us. Instead of rushing to figure out what everything means or how to apply it immediately, we're learning to slow down, trust more, and let God's presence change us from the inside out. This kind of faith is less about performing and more about receiving, less about controlling and more about trusting.
In this re-released episode and article David Meechan critically explores the reception baseline assessment (RBA), questioning its purpose, reliability and impact on children, teachers and families. Drawing on his research and personal experience, he highlights practical ways educators and leaders can navigate the RBA while advocating for assessment approaches that truly reflect and support child-centred learning in the early weeks of school.

"Corner Gas" is a sitcom that aired from 2004 to 2009 on CTV. The premise centers around Brent Leroy (played by show creator Brent Butt), who runs the town's gas station. Known for its dry humor and character-driven storytelling, the show avoids traditional sitcom laugh tracks and instead leans on witty dialogue and understated situational comedy rooted in Canadian small-town life. Reception for Corner Gas was overwhelmingly positive and became one of the highest-rated Canadian television comedies ever. Critics praised its relatable humor, and strong ensemble cast. Even after its finale, Corner Gas remains a beloved cultural touchstone, often cited as the Canadian equivalent of Seinfeld in its ability to find humor in everyday, “about nothing” situations. Will the S1E1 boys enjoy this comedy from the north? Listen as they deep dive the show's pilot episode, "Ruby Reborn". Starring: Brent Butt, Gabrielle Miller, Fred Ewanuick, Eric Peterson, Janet Wright, Lorne Cardinal, Tara Spencer-Nairn, & Nancy Robertson www.S1E1POD.com Instagram & X (Twitter): @S1E1POD

Discipleship invites us into the beautiful reality of being both friend and follower of Jesus, where we discover ourselves being gently trained and empowered by Him to love more fully. This journey isn't about perfecting spiritual techniques or earning our way to being "good Christians" through disciplined practice. Instead, spiritual disciplines serve as pathways that orient our hearts toward the Spirit's work, creating space for authentic encounters with God rather than mere religious performance. The four meta-practices—Preparation, Reception, Participation, and Reflection—offer us a framework for understanding why and how we engage in spiritual formation. These practices work together to form us not into perfect performers, but into people who are increasingly available to God's transforming presence and equipped to train others in this same journey of love.

COURTESY BAS A live, off-air, half-hour recording of the BBC World Service special Antarctic Midwinter Broadcast on 21 June 2024 beginning at 21:30 UTC. The broadcast, hosted by Cerys Matthews, featured messages and music for the 47 members of the staff of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) overwintering in Antarctica at the Rothera (Antarctic Peninsula) and King Edward Point and Bird Island (South Georgia) research stations. In addition to personal messages from family and friends, there were interviews with Professor Dame Jane Francis, Director of BAS; Olivier Hubert, a former chef at Rothera and the Halley VI research station; and Nadine Frontier, a marine biologist at King Edward Point; and Allie Clement, an ocean scientist at Rothera. The transmitter came on the air with a test tone (1108 Hz plus harmonics) about a minute before the program started. As sometimes happens, the first few words of the introduction were missed.The recording is of the transmission on 11685 kHz from the BBC's Woofferton, England, transmitting station. The sender had a registered power of 300 kW with antenna beam 182 degrees. The transmission was received on a Belka-DX receiver with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna outdoors in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada, in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz bandwidth. Reception was quite good with little noise or fading and very good signal strength. The additional parallel frequencies of 9585 kHz from Woofferton and 9870 kHz from Ascension were heard but not as well as 11685 kHz. There was a break in transmission at about the 21-minute mark in the recording for approximately one minute. A studio quality, slightly longer, podcast version is available on the BBC World Service website.

Show Notes What if abundance wasn’t something you had to chase—but something already within your reach? In this deeply soulful episode of The InPowered Life Podcast, hosts Rudy and Aniston Rick Stein welcome Cathy Heller—spiritual teacher, podcaster, and author—to explore the intersection of entrepreneurship and spirituality. Drawing from the timeless wisdom of Kabbalah, Cathy introduces listeners to the Law of Reception, a powerful shift from chasing to receiving, from striving to allowing. She unpacks the heart’s role in divine connection, shares daily practices for spiritual alignment, and challenges limiting beliefs around money and scarcity. Through personal stories, practical tools, and mystical insights, Cathy offers a path to expand your capacity to receive, embrace your soul’s unique purpose, and live with more ease, gratitude, and fulfillment. In This Episode, You’ll Learn: The Kabbalistic roots of abundance and why they apply to everyone The difference between the Law of Attraction and the Law of Reception How to expand your spiritual vessel to receive more light and joy Why the heart, not the mind, is the true seat of divine connection Practical daily exercises for spiritual alignment and purpose How to rewrite money myths and embrace abundance without guilt Why abundance is limitless and sharing multiplies, not diminishes, resources How to discover and honor your unique soul contract The role of gratitude and compassion in raising your frequency Practical ways to live in authenticity and divine flow Key Quotes “Abundance is not outside of you—it’s already here, waiting for you to receive it.”“The heart connects us to the divine, while the mind often keeps us in fear.”“Sharing your light never dims it—it multiplies it.”“Wealth is not corrupt or scarce. It’s energy, and energy is infinite.”“Your soul contract is unique—no one else can live it for you.” Resources & Links

copyright NDR Live, off-air, three-hour recording of the special annual Gruss an Bord program from German broadcaster NDR, Norddeutscher Rundfunk, on 24 December 2024 with an introductory "warm-up" segment beginning shortly after 18:00 UTC with Gruss an Bord itself starting at 19:00 UTC. The "warm-up segment" featured reports on seafaring, its economic relevance, and everyday life at sea. Gruss an Bord features music and greetings to and from mariners around the world. The Christmas greetings were recorded at an event in Hamburg. Unlike for the past several years, there was no event in Leer.Relatives and friends had the opportunity to wish their loved ones at sea a happy holiday and a happy new year. The Hamburg event was recorded on 8 December in the Duckdalben International Seamen's Club and was hosted by Birgit Langhammer and Ocke Bandixen. Music was provided by the Swedish-South African duo "Fjarill." The broadcast was primarily in German with some greetings in other languages.In addition to being carried on the NDR Info and NDR Info Spezial networks, the broadcast was transmitted around the world on shortwave using transmitters at Nauen, Germany; Moosbrunn, Austria; Issoudun, France; Tashkent, Uzbekistan; and Okeechobee, Florida, U.S.A.; and was organized by Media Broadcast.The frequencies (kHz) were: 6030 (via Issoudun) for the Northeast Atlantic, 6080 (via Tashkent) for Europe, 9635 (via Moosbrunn) for the Indian Ocean,11650 (via Issoudun) for the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, 13830 (via Nauen) for the Southern Atlantic, and15770 (via Okeechobee) for the Northwest AtlanticThe "warm-up" segment was not carried on the NDR Info Spezial network, which broadcast the children's program Mikado instead. And as the Moosbrunn transmitter took the feed from the NDR Info Spezial network, the "warm-up" segment didn't go out on this shortwave transmitter.The recording is of the transmission on the frequency of 11650 kHz for the full three hours.The program was received outdoors on a Belka-DX receiver in pseudo-synchronous (AM2) mode with a bandwidth of 50 Hz - 2.7 kHz with a Tecsun AN-03L 7-metre wire antenna in Hanwell (just outside Fredericton), New Brunswick, Canada. Reception was fairly good for the most part with a bit of noise at times.
It was Summer 1997 and the Sega Saturn was stagnanting in America, which means many great gems slipped through the mainstream cracks.

Our study begins in Matthew chapter 2.In this chapter, where Jesus is born is of great importance. Why? Because even where Jesus is born fulfills an O.T. prophecy found in Micah 5:2. Matthew wants us to know that this Jesus is God's promised and foretold Messiah. He fulfills this prophecy that tells us where the Messiah was born, that is Bethlehem Ephrata of Judea, in the south, not in the other Bethlehem in the north of Israel. God's prophetical Word is precise and detailed even to the exact city where the savior was to be born.The wise men came to worship the King of the Jews. The Jewish leaders who knew the Scripture as to where the Messiah was to be born, didn't come to worship Him, but the gentile wise-men who came from the east did. What a contrast. Here is Dr. Mitchell on the Unchanging Word Bible Broadcast, Matthew 2.

Hunter Beast is the author of BIP 360: a proposal that seeks to provide quantum resistance to Bitcoin, to prevent powerful computer builders from brute forcing arbitrary addresses to steal the funds. But is the quantum threat real? Does the number of qubits really make a difference when the quantum computer is general purpose? Shouldn't other industries outside of Bitcoin, especially governments and banks, be worried about the fragility of elliptic curve cryptography? In this episode, we'll try to answer some of these questions and also refer to Hunter Beast's previous experience with building RGB for Bitcoin tokens. ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Time stamps: 01:08 - Introducing Hunter Beast 01:27 - BIP 360 and Quantum Resistance Hunter Beast introduces BIP 360, aimed at making Bitcoin resistant to quantum computing threats, a hot topic due to predictions of advanced quantum computers potentially breaking ECDSA signatures. 02:19 - Defining Bitcoin's Quantum Threat Quantum computing is institutional, not accessible to average Bitcoiners, making verification difficult. The threat is existential but not immediate, though warnings suggest proximity. 03:58 - U.S. Government Warnings U.S. government and institutions are preparing for quantum resistance by 2030, urging upgrades to protect against potential cryptographic breaks. 05:53 - Consensus Challenges Hard forks ensure UTXO migration but face consensus issues; soft forks are preferred, but coins must move to quantum-resistant addresses to avoid vulnerabilities. 06:38 - Bitcoin's Quantum Vulnerabilities Taproot, reused addresses, mempool-published data, and exposed public keys are vulnerable. ~90% of reused address coins are active, reducing concern, but Taproot needs upgrades. 09:41 - BIP 360 Solution for Taproot BIP 360 focuses narrowly on fixing Taproot's vulnerability to long-exposure attacks, enabling wallets to commit to multiple scripts, including quantum-resistant ones like SLHDSA. 13:07 - Signature Schemes ECDSA is Bitcoin's weak point. Lamport and Winternitz signatures are flawed (one-time use), but SLHDSA (using a hypertree of Winternitz signatures) allows secure address reuse. 17:10 - User Experience Impact BIP 360 minimizes changes to user experience, offering opt-in quantum-resistant scripts. Wallets could include security dials, but defaults remain familiar. 20:14 - Transaction Size and Costs Post-quantum signatures are larger (4-8k bytes), but address commitments are minimal (~34 bytes). Block size increases aren't necessary; solutions like Bitzip could scale transactions. 22:27 – Sideshift.ai 23:17 - Drivechains and Layer Two Labs Drivechains offer secure sidechain solutions, decentralizing custody and scaling Bitcoin. Testing is available on Signet, with Litecoin considering implementation. 29:48 - Bitcoin Ossification Debate Ossification (resistance to change) vs. necessary upgrades debated. Quantum threats may force changes as Bitcoin secures more value, despite opposition. 36:36 - Conspiracy Theory Counter Concerns about government-driven fear dismissed; BIP 360 is opt-in, only used if quantum threats emerge, preserving user choice. 54:26 - Quantum Computing Progress IBM's Condor has 1,121 qubits; breaking ECDSA needs ~20M qubits. With quantum advancements outpacing Moore's Law, upgrades are prudent within a decade. 59:58 - Sponsor Plugs Citrea (ZK rollup for Bitcoin financial apps) and Edge Wallet (duress mode, multi-coin support) highlighted. 01:02:30 - BIP 360 Number Selection BIP 360 assigned by reviewers, not chosen by Hunterbeast, reserved for quantum-related proposals. 01:06:04 - BIP 360 Reception from Core Devs Mixed feedback from reviewers like Ava Chow (called it “stupid” but provided useful critique). Still in draft at bip360.org, open for review. 01:11:29 - Unintended Consequences BIP 360 is minimal, unlikely to cause surprises like Taproot's ordinal inscriptions, as it enhances existing functionality. 01:12:42 - Is Quantum Resistance Perishable and Needs Updates? BIP 360 isn't definitive; periodic updates may be needed as quantum computers advance, requiring a proactive Bitcoin culture. 01:19:12 - NoOnes, Bitcoin.com, 01:21:46 - Best Practices for Quantum Safety Avoid address reuse, use native SegWit (BC1Q) addresses, don't expose Xpubs, and consider private mempools like MARA Slipstream for large transactions. 01:24:27 - Closing Remarks Gratitude to Hunter Beast for discussing BIP 360 and quantum threats, wishing success for the proposal.
