Spring might bring renewed energy, but sometimes the spark for teaching is still missing. In this episode, I share what to do when you've lost your passion for teaching or feel the weight of teacher burnout. I walk through four steps I call the 4 Rs: remember, reflect, reinforce, and reconsider to help you identify what's draining your energy, reconnect with what brings you joy, and rebuild teacher motivation. And if the spark still isn't there, we'll also talk honestly about whether it might be time to rethink your role, your school, or how to enjoy teaching again in this season!➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode226Resources Mentioned:Be a guest on the podcast!

Nasty's worst day Navy starts when a young Tomcat hopeful hears “you're a qual” on the radio, then “you're a disqual” at the ladder. Consequently, that gut punch on the Lex knocks his timeline off, pairs him with Bug Roach, and quietly sets the stage to help save two lives later. Actually, he walks from Key West heartbreak in a TA-4J Skyhawk to the bridge of Nimitz, with failures, promotions, and a near-buoy strike with an admiral watching. Furthermore, he digs into rules of engagement over Afghanistan, AI-driven factories that can out-build China, and why straight, honest leadership keeps people alive at sea and in combat. The “wait, what?” is how Nasty's worst day Navy becomes the best thing that ever happened to his career, and to a couple of people who are still breathing because of it.

Delivered by Vivian from the Parish of Saint Thomas the Apostle in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Jeremiah 7: 23-28; Rs psalm 95: 1-2.6-7.8-9; Luke 11: 14-23. GOD SETS THE LIMITS Our meditation today is entitled: God Sets the Limits. “Does God havelimits?” asked a high school boy to his parish priest. The Pastor replied as hesaid, “Yes, God set certain limits, from the moment of the first human beings,that we basically have freedom but we must be also responsible for the trustGod has given us. "Then why is God also said to be forever"?continued the teenager. The priest came closer to him and explained to him morepassionately. “For God Himself, there is no limit in His will, His mercy, and Hisexistence. God is eternal and He is not bound by place and time. However, whenGod teaches and commands human beings, He sets the limits. So, we have a numberof limits or boundaries expressed in His commandments such as: “Do not lie, donot steal, do not commit fornication, do not be lazy, and so on.” After he understood the Pastor's explanation and returned home, hebegan to write down a number of God's commandments that he must follow in hisdaily life. He realized that he often forgot about his main tasks, then he setlimits on his many desires, namely playing on the cellphone one hour in theafternoon and another hour in the evening. He rather spent more of his times todo what his parents asked him to do and to review lessons or doing some home works. In this period of Lenten observance, the teenager has several lists oflimits that control him in his conducts. He strictly follows the direction andadvice of the Parish Priest and his parents. In general, for us the followersof Christ and members of the Church, the Lord God sets certain principalboundaries for us to follow and obey. These should be applied to all people,every place and all ages. Today, from the inspiration of our readings, we as persons andcommunity who believe in Christ and constitute the one and holy Church, confirmour commitment of faith. We belong to Jesus and not to Satan. We are part ofJesus and not Beelzebul. Our identity as Christians, namely people of JesusChrist and of God is our common boundary that we should maintain and guard. There are two important reminders for us today, namely we should keepwell this boundary, to be a community of people who always listen to God.Stubbornness and selfishness in choosing one's own path, is absolutely againstthis identity. Furthermore, we maintain this by remaining forever with JesusChrist, because He says that those who live outside of Him are against Him. Let'spray. In the name of the Father... O Lord Jesus, thank you for the grace ofunity that always keep us together as Your people. Glory to the Father and tothe Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Vici from the Parish of Saint John the Baptist in the Archdiocese of Jakarta, Indonesia. Deuteronomy 4: 1.5-9; Rs psalm 147: 12-13.15-16.19-20; Matthew 5: 17-19.DO WHAT IS TAUGHT The title for our meditation today is: Do What IsTaught. Two aspects from our human nature, according to God the Creator, thatmake us superior to other living creatures are reason and freedom. God entrustsus to use freely and effectively these two natural qualities. In reality thereare always two choices on the how to use our reason and freedom. One is when wechoose to follow our own will which can lead us to sin and sufferings, andanother is when we choose to follow God's teachings and laws which certainly bringus to happines. For the second choice, our reason and freedomrecognize their limits when they must stand in the same position andcollaborate with God's will. No matter how smart a person is, he finallyrealizes that God's intelligence exceeds him. Likewise he can exercise hisfreedom for any posibility or any purpose, but finally he will recognize thatGod is more powerful than him. To this extent, it is actually faith that hasthe ability to explain on the greatness and omnipotence of God, which is to beaccepted by our reason and freedom. Today, we learn about how with reason and freedom, wedo what God teaches us to do. The normal way to do is that our naturalabilities can collaborate with God's grace. The first reading from the book ofDeuteronomy describes the teaching about the divine commandments orregulations. Moses asked God's people to always obey and be faithful to whatwas already determined by God. This is what we usually call the commandments ofGod. This obedience and discipline do not reduce the roleof our reason and freedom, instead our reason and freedom assume a plus point,namely the Divine wisdom. The function of the mind for this sense is toremember, to understand, and to express in a correct manner what God teaches us. The function of freedom is tospread the truth so that it can enlighten and direct our life in the way of theLord until we arrive in perfection.  A faithful and obedient person of faith has animportant and demanding task to do what God intructs to do. One's baptismalpromises and membership in the Church bear a specific mission, which is theresponsibility to teach religious instructions to others, it could be relativesor friends, and even unknown people. This responsibility is primarily taken upby individuals because it is basically attached to each one's calling. But aresponsible and dedicated follower of Christ is also demanded to be a social anda public servant who is sent by the Lord Jesus and constantly assisted by theHoly Spirit to teach others about God and His works of salvation. The biblicalexpression for this type of responsibility is commonly known as the salt andthe light of the world. Our real vocation in this world is indeed to becomesalts and lights of the world. Then life as Christians is actually manifestedin the action of teaching and learning from one another. Let'spray. In the name of the Father ... O Father of all wisdom, fill us always withYour teachings and precepts that help us to become wise like You. Hail Mary,full of grace ... In the name of the Father ...

Delivered by Matthew and Karen from the Parish of Saint Albert the Great from the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Daniel 3: 25.34-43; Rs psalm 25: 4b-5b.6.7c.8-9; Matthew 18: 21-35.CONDITIONS OFFORGIVENESS  The title for our meditation today is: The Conditionsof Forgiveness. Even though God is merciful and forgiving, and this gift fromHim is free, it does not mean that forgiveness He gives is immediately obtained.Our faith teaches that to obtain the remission of those sins, the Churchprovides the sacrament of penance. We call it also the Sacrament ofReconciliation. In it there is a material element which is the real sinsconfessed by the sinner, and the formal element, that is the formula ofabsolution delivered by the confessor, which declares a person's liberationfrom the sins confessed. Regardingthe material element, there are conditions to support the disclosure of sins onthe occasion of confession. These conditions refer to the attitude and mannerin which a person prepares oneself to make a confession. The officialrequirements of the Church are usually related to guidance or guidelines to befollowed by the faithful preparing to receive this sacrament. In addition,there are personal conditions that are very important to be the responsibilityof every penitent that shows one's faith and appreciation of this sacrament. As for personal preparation, the two readings todayprovide the ways of the importance preparation for confession. The Prophet Daniel'sprophecy in the first reading emphasizes the role of the sinner's remorsefulattitude. Regret or feeling sad is a very important condition to provide thequality of confession of sin as a negative and firm attitude towards sins. A contriteheart and humble spirit indicate that the sinner is sad and angry at hishumiliation. He felt sorry for himself who had a bad fate. Thus the AlmightyGod can give His attention and love to him. A person who does not show remorseor regret, usually seeks a scapegoat for his sins or is proud and happy becauseby sinning he can fulfill his evil intentions. The Gospel of Matthew says that if we are unwilling toforgive those who have wronged us, our Father in heaven does not forgive us.The "Our Father" prayer emphasizes this, because it is God's own act.That means before we can get a formal act of forgiveness when we makeconfession, we must first forgive those who have wronged us. Therefore, inaddition to conveying the material elements, namely the real sins, the sinnerneeds to honestly admit also that he has forgiven those he mentioned in hisconfession. An effective and fruitful confession of sin occurs because of theforgiveness of the sinner who has sinned against us, before we receiveforgiveness from God through the ministry of the Church.   Letus pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord Jesus Christ, teach and encourageus not to be ashamed and afraid to forgive. Our Father who art in heaven... Inthe name of the Father....

Delivered by Jessy Patricia from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. 2 Kings 5: 1-15a; Rs psalm 42: 2.3; 43: 3.4; Luke 4: 24-30.HEALING LEPROSY OFBODY AND SOUL The title for ourmeditation today is: Healing Leprosy of the Body and Soul. Saint Ephraim ofSyria who lived in the 4th century AD, wrote like this about the healing ofNaaman, the Syrian army, because of God's grace through the prophet Elisha:"Therefore Naaman was sent to the Jordan River with the aim of healingbecause the water can restore human sickness. Indeed, sin is a leprosy in thesoul, which cannot be sensed, but intelligence can prove it. Human nature mustbe freed from this disease by the power of Christ kept in baptism. It was veryimportant for Naaman to recover from two illnesses, his body and soul. This isfitting to represent a grace of purification and sanctification of all nationsin the ongoing baths, which begin in the Jordan River, mother and beginning ofbaptism." Naaman was a personoutside the Jewish faith community and was certainly considered an infidel. Buthe was without obstacle convinced that there was a power of God that couldprovide healing for his leprosy. He got this information from the Israel servantwho worked for him. People of this category are quick to open up and respond tothe important message about faith, because they basically need God. Naaman representsmany people today who are far from God and do not know Him. They want to havefaith in God through a process of healing their bodies and souls. Their bodieshave shortcomings and even pains because they are far away and apart from closenessand fellowship with God, the source of faith. Their souls are in need ofabsolute truth about life and hope for salvation after death. This process ismade available in Jesus Christ through baptism. After Naaman, there have been somany people outside Jewish community who receive baptism and are members of theChurch today. Naaman's actionscontrasted with those around Jesus even from His place of origin and thecontemporaries of Naaman. They were already strong in their own beliefs,moreover Jesus was considered no less than one from their cricle . They knewvery well the simplicity of Jesus' biological family, so it was impossible forthem to believe that He had powers that exceeded them. The Lord Jesus wants usas His obedient followers to accept Him. By accepting and owning Him, whereverand whenever we are, He is present through us in doing good and renewing thisworld.Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O God, almighty Lord, strengthen our faith that we may become your truewitnesses in this world. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name of theFather  ...

Delivered by Stella, Eveline, Maverick and Michaela from the Parish of Sacred Heart of Jesus Cathedral in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Exodus 17: 3-7; Rs psalm 95: 1-2.6-7.8-9; Romans 5: 1-2.5-8; John 4: 5-42.ENDLESS AND TOTALLOVE The title for ourmeditation today is: Endless and Total Love. There was a young man really madeall efforts that the girl of his choice accepted him, and finally they couldget married. The girl's family was not all sure about the young man's seriouseffort. In their eyes, he was indeed kind and honest. But all this was just apreception and assumption. There was no concrete proof yet of his sincere love.The girl's family reaction became a challenge for the young man. Then the moment ofwedding eventually came. There were no obstacles in all the processes andevents of the wedding itself. All parties involved felt joyful and satisfied.In one occasion of meeting, the families of both parties had an opportunity togive messages to the newly married couple. Of all the inputs received, theyoung man then expressed his deepest conviction. He said in this way: "Myfaith in the Lord Jesus requires me to love sincerely. For my true love, I willprove it in the life together with her from the moment of our marriage." Love proofs itselfonly through action. The man wanted to prove his love by living with his wifein all situations of their family life. In works, services and sacrifices hewanted to show that his wife felt loved. Jesus is his main example. Like thatman, we the followers of Christ really make Jesus our most special example. TheLord Jesus Christ, as the second reading conveys today, has proven His love forus by the sacrifice of Himself to die on the cross. The love of JesusChrist is revealed to everyone to the point of removing the boundaries of race,ethnicity, culture, and nation. His love does not count who are the believersand who are not. Those who have been baptized long time ago and those who havebeen just baptized yesterday are entitled to receive the love of God. His loveis basically endless. Unbelievers and their cultures like the Samaritans andespecially the woman who met Jesus are the good examples for us today. Love to all or anendless love is indeed a total love. God heals the sick and wounded. Godcompletes and fulfills what is lacking. God returns what is lost and abandoned.God embraces those who are not yet included and those who are scattered. God isthe solution to all forms of life's problems, even though it is very unlikelyto be solved according to human calculations and abilities. God fills the waterof life into the empty and discouraged soul of the Samaritan woman and thesouls of all other mankind. We are so special to receive the Lord's total love. Let's pray. In the name of the Father... O Lord, fill us with Your love and blessing so that we can prepareourselves with all our hearts for this year's Easter celebration. Glory to theFather and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit ... In the name of the Father ...

Plusieurs stations-service à Maurice ont été temporairement à court de carburant, aussi bien en essence qu'en diesel, en raison d'un phénomène de « panic buying ». Cette ruée vers les pompes a été alimentée par les inquiétudes liées aux tensions géopolitiques au Moyen-Orient et aux possibles variations des prix du carburant. Avant la réunion du Petroleum Pricing Committee, qui a décidé le 2 mars de maintenir les prix à la pompe inchangés, de nombreux automobilistes se sont précipités pour faire le plein, provoquant des ruptures temporaires dans plusieurs stations. Le président de la Petrol Retailers Association, Bhim Sunnassee, indique que les autorités ont dépêché des agents sur le terrain pour évaluer la situation. Selon lui, cette pénurie était liée uniquement à la panique des consommateurs et non à un manque réel d'approvisionnement. Bhim Sunnassee souligne également que la marge de profit demeure très limitée pour les automobilistes. Selon lui, le gain économique se limite à environ Rs 150 par plein, une idée largement répandue mais souvent mal comprise sur le plan économique.

Delivered by Enge Kristina from the Parish of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga in the Diocese of Surabaya, Indonesia. Micah 7: 14-15.18-20; Rs psalm 103: 1-2.3-4.9-10.11-12; Luke 15: 1-3.11-32.GOD'S MERCY ISNOT INJUSTICE Our meditation today is entitled: God's Mercy Is NotInjustice. Admiration and even our inability to understand the almighty God is whenwe think and ponder on His mercy. The most powerful expression of God's mercyfor us is His power to forgive human sins. The term "God is almighty"signifies the power of God to rule over everything and everyone, including theforgiveness of sins. For believers, this admiration and recognition of beinginsufficient in the presence of God is part of faith. As for the unbelievers,the omnipotence of God and especially the power to forgiveness of sins ismeaningless. The prophet Micah, in the first reading, expressed hisfaith with great wonder that no other God could forgive the sins of His people.He has the power to remove human sins. He threw all those sins into the depthsof the sea, into the deepest part of the universe. Micah has a story about the deliveranceof ancient Israelites from Egyptian slavery and deliverance during the periodof wandering in the wilderness. In line with this, Jesus makes it more concretethrough the parable of the prodigal son and his merciful father.  The positive law and principle of justice put the answerto an act of sin with the punishment due to the sinful act made. Unbelieversand people in general view that the Israelites who have sinned so much over andover again deserve to be punished repeatedly. The prodigal son must had receivedthe punishment correlated to the sin he had committed. The Pharisees andscribes considered sinners to be very dirty, so they were not to interact with them.This is all contradictory to God's merciful deeds. God is a merciful God. TheLord comes along and stay with them. He forgives them. This is what we meanhere as an injustice act of God. However, this act of mercy is not an unjust act. Anact of mercy and love essentially brings the sinner close to us and helps himto repent, through forgiveness and guidance to return to the right path. God'sreal will for them is that none of the believers should be lost from His care.It could be one of us, your friends or family members. Then, during this time,you can work with God to restore him from his current state of depravity bothphysically and spiritually.Letus pray. In the name of the Father... God Almighty, make us aware and eager to returnto You as the best way we can do, and living with You must the main purpose ofour lives. Our Father who art in heaven... In the name of the Father ...

When Pastors and Entrepreneurs Unite: Multiplication, Movement, and Missional ImaginationWhat happens when you put a pastor and an entrepreneur in a room with a whiteboard? According to Dave Ferguson, you get real solutions that push back darkness with light. Join host Justin Forman as he sits down with Dave Ferguson—co-founder of Community Christian Church in Chicago and the New Thing Network, which has helped plant 30,000 churches across 69 countries—to explore what it really takes to build a movement, why church planters and entrepreneurs are more alike than they think, and how "missional imagination" could be the missing ingredient in both the church and the marketplace.Dave shares hard-won lessons from decades of church planting, network building, and leadership development—including the leadership framework from his upcoming book Multiplier: How Healthy Leaders Create Lasting Impact. From the four Rs that fueled exponential growth to the RPMS dashboard that keeps leaders healthy over the long haul, this conversation is packed with frameworks entrepreneurs will immediately recognize and apply.Key Topics:Why church planters and entrepreneurs share the same wiring—and what that means for the KingdomThe "chaortic" principle: how clear vision + clear values unlock movement-level multiplicationDave's RPMS framework: the four gauges every leader must monitor daily (Relational, Physical, Mental, Spiritual)From addition to multiplication: the difference between making disciples and making disciple-makersThe "all abilities church" story—what happens when a salesman with a passion gets a pastor's blessing50 micro-expressions of church inside Amazon—and what it means for entrepreneurs in the marketplaceWhy "missional imagination" beats checklist Christianity every timeNotable Quotes:"If you put a pastor and an entrepreneur in a room with a whiteboard and a facilitator, I can't imagine you're not going to come up with real solutions to go like, hey, here's how we push back that darkness with light." – Dave Ferguson"You reproduce who you are and what you do." – Dave Ferguson"If we aim for mission, you're going to get mission and you're probably going to get some of the deepest friends that you've ever had." – Justin Forman

This week we're discussing Raising Healthy Kids When You're Doing It Alone. Solo parenting means making every call yourself. Every hard conversation, every boundary, every moment you are not sure you handled it right. And somewhere underneath all of that doing is a fear that rarely gets spoken: what if the way I am showing up is actually hurting them? That question deserves a real conversation. Robert Beeson, Founder and CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, single parent and co-host, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy and single parent herself, to get honest about what healthy parenting actually looks like when you are the only one holding it all together. This episode speaks directly to the fears most solo parents carry quietly. Three specific tensions come up that are worth naming: parenting from fear instead of awareness and not knowing the difference, carrying unhealed pain that spills over onto your kids without realizing it, and trying to figure it all out alone when perspective is exactly what you need. If you have felt any of those, this one is for you. Key Insights from This Episode: Your internal world shapes your parenting more than you realize. The fear, stress, and unprocessed pain you carry does not stay contained; it finds its way into how you parent every day. The five Rs of stability give solo parents a practical framework for raising healthy kids. Respect, Relationships, Rules, Responsibility, and Risk each play a distinct role in building security and resilience for you and your kids. Blind spots don't fix themselves. Getting curious, asking questions, and inviting perspective from trusted people around you is one of the most courageous moves you can make as a parent.

What makes for a good entrepreneur in today's start-up landscape? How do you work to scale and when is it right to go from bootstrapping to seeking funding? How are the roots of innovation now fundamentally different than the dot com era? Lori Rosenkopf is a Professor of Management and also the Vice Dean of Entrepreneurship at the Wharton School, San Francisco campus. She is also the author of the book Unstoppable Entrepreneurs: 7 Paths for Unleashing Successful Startups and Creating Value through Innovation. Greg and Lori discuss Lori's focus on Wharton's student and alumni entrepreneurial ecosystem, and she explains how entrepreneurship skills overlap with the innovation inside large organizations and universities. Lori describes seven entrepreneurial pathways and six “Rs” that reflect an entrepreneurial mindset, emphasizing that many successful entrepreneurs first build industry experience in standard careers rather than launching ventures immediately after school.  Their conversation covers how Wharton's curriculum has evolved over time, adding majors and coursework in entrepreneurship, innovation, analytics, and now AI; experiential learning; venture pitching for credit. Greg asks how the Venture Acceleration Lab helps expose students to scaling alumni ventures. Lori and Greg discuss different stereotypes of entrepreneurs, and Lori touches on why alumni and industry-affiliation networks remain powerful, how innovation increasingly happens through ecosystems, partnerships, and acquisitions rather than in-house R&D, and the continuing importance of universities in basic science commercialization, including Penn's Pennovation initiative and strong biomedical startup activity. *unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.* Episode Quotes: The stereotype of a unicorn founder 17:18: I think that we have grown accustomed to a stereotype, which is, let us name them out, college dropout. Young. Venture capital backed tech, unicorn, great personal and commercial wealth. And now we are depending on them for philanthropy. We can have a whole discussion just about whether that is a good thing or not. But that is sort of the image. Is there a way people can cultivate their resilience? 32:00: Resilience, it can come from being in love with your problem and wanting to solve that so deeply. Now it has to be a problem that enough of the marketplace shares that they are willing to think about your solution. But people who want to solve a problem are going to claim lots and lots of different ways to attack it. And this is what entrepreneurs are constantly dealing with, negative feedback and challenges. In many cases, it is very rare that companies of ventures first offering is something that everybody falls in love with. What has Lori learned about information diffusion over 30 years of research? 11:17: I think that as we have gone to where more digital products and services, that it gives us the opportunity to build up these bigger ecosystems where different parties are collaborating in a variety. So it might be as extreme as acquisitions. And that is not just happening when Apple, that is CPG companies are buying little startups where people have developed new grants that are cool. They are partnering in many cases, so they may not be a full on acquisition, but there will be a contractual set of arrangements and maybe a conformance to a standard, as well. So that has become more and more common, and the idea that any one firm can invent everything in house, I think it does feel a little bit passé, you know, like rate of change is getting quicker and quicker.

In today's Tech3 from Moneycontrol, Jar faces a CID probe under the BUDS Act amid a surge in digital gold transactions. BillDesk acquires Worldline's India business for Rs 650 crore, deepening consolidation in payments infrastructure. India's IT leaders say AI adoption is complex and execution-heavy, even as tech budgets rise globally. And IDC data signals a sharp 12–15 percent drop in smartphone shipments in 2026, hit by supply crunch and rising costs.

Cybersecurity has been getting bigger recognition as an integrated enabler in key U.S. military operations in Iran and Venezuela. That comes on the heels of the Pentagon last year introducing a new cyber mission force generation model as part of the larger Cybercom 2.0 effort. So, who better to discuss the growing prominence of cyber in the defense space than the principal cyber advisors of the various branches overseeing cyber-kinentic integration. At CyberTalks, Daily Scoop host Billy Mitchell hosted a panel with those leaders and a representative from industry to hear the latest on this emerging space. Joining him on the panel were the PCAs from each service — Ann Marie Schumann of the Department of the Navy, Wanda Jones Heath of the Department of the Air Force and Brandon Pugh of the Army — as well as Dave Galoppo, senior director for full spectrum cyber at GDIT. The Department of Energy is rapidly building out multidisciplinary teams to support the Genesis Mission as it prepares to unveil a minimum viable product later this year, according to a senior agency official. The format for the demonstration is to be determined, but progress is palpable. “We're going to show quite a lot of results this year,” Darío Gil, DOE's under secretary for science and director of the Genesis Mission, said in an interview with FedScoop. “We're going to show results on our progress of building AI supercomputers … the software and the agentic framework.” The agency also plans to showcase the efforts behind the data curation used to train “next generation” AI and the results tied to the application of AI in science and engineering, he added. The Genesis Mission launched in November 2025 by way of an executive order that tasked the Energy Department with leading a national, coordinated effort to accelerate innovation and discovery with the latest advancements in AI, quantum and high-performance computing. As part of the initiative, the agency is working to build an integrated platform that draws on federal scientific datasets and expertise from public and private sectors. A demonstration of the Genesis platform's initial capabilities is required by mid-year, according to the deadlines outlined in the presidential directive. A pullback of educational requirements for federal contracting jobs, including in technology work, moved one step closer to reality Monday. The Skills-Based Federal Contracting Act (H.R. 5235) sailed through the House and now awaits Senate consideration. The bill from Reps. Nancy Mace, R-S.C., and Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., would ban minimum education requirements for personnel in some contracts. Introducing the bill on the House floor ahead of Monday's vote, Rep. William Timmons, R-S.C., said the legislation ensures federal contractors can “hire who they want to hire without additional red tape.” Mace, who chairs the House Oversight and Government Reform Subcommittee on Cybersecurity, Information Technology, and Government Innovation, recounted January 2024 testimony from an IBM executive who said “federal contractors are rarely able to place an individual without a four-year degree on a technology services contract, regardless of their qualifications.” Mace said the issue goes “beyond technology and service contracts,” affecting work across the federal government. Eliminating four-year degree requirements would do away with “a paper ceiling” that blocks “talented Americans” from pursuing opportunities in the billion-dollar industry that “shapes the entire labor market,” she said.

In this special episode of The Check In, Dwyane Wade sits down with his mother, Jolinda Wade, for an emotional and powerful conversation about her life, addiction, redemption, and her memoir Conquering Me.

Has Porsche design reached a turning point? In this special collaboration episode, 9WERKS Radio joins forces with James and Andy from the Curb & Canyon podcast to dissect the past, present, and high-stakes future of Porsche aesthetics. With the legendary Michael Mauer stepping down after two decades and former McLaren/Bentley designer Tobias Sühlmann taking the reins as the new Head of Style, we ask the big question: where does Porsche design go from here?The team dives deep into the "Highs and Lows" of the Mauer era—from the redemption of the Panamera and the futuristic Taycan to the challenges of keeping the 911 icon fresh across the 997, 991, and 992 generations. We also tackle the "elephant in the room": the controversial transition to an all-electric lineup and how Sühlmann's background in hypercars (like the McLaren Solus GT and Bentley Batur) will influence the next generation of Stuttgart's sports cars.In this 9WERKS x Curb & Canyon Special:The Changing of the Guard: What Tobias Sühlmann's appointment means for the future of the 911.Mauer's Legacy: Ranking the greatest (and most controversial) designs from 2004–2026.The SUV vs. Sports Car Debate: Can Porsche maintain its DNA as it prioritizes the Macan and Cayenne EV?Design "Highs & Lows": From the 918 Spyder masterpiece to the models that missed the mark.The "McLaren-isation" of Porsche: Discussing the influence of CEO Michael Leiters and the new design direction.Links & Community Follow Curb & Canyon: Search for "Curb & Canyon" on your favorite podcast app.Find your dream Porsche on the 9WERKS Marketplace: 9werks.co.uk/marketplace Thanks to our friends heritagepartscentre.com for sponsoring this podcast, get up to 10% off your basket by entering the code ‘9WERKS10' at the checkout on heritagepartscentre.com‘9WERKS Radio' @9werks.radio is your dedicated Porsche and car podcast, taking you closer than ever to the world's finest sports cars and the culture and history behind them.The show is brought to you by 9werks.co.uk, the innovative online platform for Porsche enthusiasts.

O que é um animal exótico? Um mesmo animal pode ser exótico em algum lugar mas noutro não? E o que seria um animal selvagem? E silvestre? Essa semana conversamos sobre essas definições todas e como esses animais podem estar presentes no nosso dia a dia. Além disso, quais os impactos de termos esses animais à disposição em nosso país?

Dr. Friday explains that W-2 and 1099 deadlines generally fall at the end of January, unless an extension is requested. She recommends contacting payers promptly and making a list of every employer and company so you do not miss forms and have to amend later. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. The IRS has put some new deadlines for filing W-2s and 1099s, and again, those deadlines should have already passed. January 31st would have been the last day they should have given you an email, unless they file for an extension and they should have notified you of that. If you have not received your W-2, 1099, 1099-K, 1099-B, 1099-Rs, and all the other ones, then you need to make sure you’re contacting the companies. Do make a list, because sometimes you forget you work for somebody and you have two W-2s, not just one. Then you have to amend the return, which takes longer. You need help? All you have to do is check us out on the web, drfriday.com. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

With the Defence Acquisition Council (DAC) clearing the monumental Rs 3.25 lakh crore deal for 114 Rafale jets just as French President Emmanuel Macron lands in India, the Indian Air Force is closer to getting the muscle it desperately needs. But what does this "Mother of All Deals" mean for India's indigenous fighter programs? In this episode of In Our Defence, host Dev Goswami and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan unpack the proposed Rafale deal and break down the strategic and financial realities of buying 114 Rafales. The two explore the 'Make in India' angle of the deal and what it means for India's private sector. Most importantly, Dev and Sandeep ask the tough question: Will paying for 114 French jets bankrupt the homegrown Tejas Mk2 or is it a calculated move to buy time and secure our skies?

In Portuguese, you become “aposentado” – left aside or left behind. But in Spanish-speaking cultures, retirement is called “jubilación” – which comes from the word for joy. That distinction changed everything for Cesar. Because when he stepped away from his career, it wasn’t the loss of work that shocked him – it was the jarring shock of losing an identity. He realized retirement isn’t just a life transition, it’s an identity transition, offering an opportunity to redefine who you want to become, and retire with purpose. Cesar joins us to share the framework he developed through his own transition – a ten-chapter roadmap for moving from “what I’m leaving” to “what I’m moving toward.” He’ll reveal why planning goes far beyond your finances, how to measure success when you’re no longer producing output, and the key warning signs that show up early when retirement first starts going wrong. This is a conversation about why approaching retirement with more intention might just create the most fulfilling chapters of your life. How will you retire with purpose? Cesar Aguirre joins us from Florida. __________________________ Bio César Aguirre is a seasoned HR executive with over 40 years of experience in global talent development.

I think the languages shape mindset. And mindsets shape behavior. So when retirement is framed as a joy, planning shifts from survival to flourishing become more natural.” On Measuring Success in Retirement “A good day is no longer about output, it’s no longer about how much you produce. It’s about action that is intended, an action that aligns with a master plan.” On What He’d Do Differently “I wish I had thought about it and prepared for my post-work identity a little sooner and more deliberately. In my job in HR, I helped many others plan careers, but I underestimated how much my own self-worth was tied to that job in that title. I think I did it humbly. I can say that I did a solid job planning financially, but probably not as good in preparing emotionally for the change. For a brief period of time, a few months, I underestimated that the identity shift that was occurring and the loss of a daily structure that I was so accustomed to.” On What He’s Gained in Retirement “Presence, the ability to not just having the time, but having the mindset of real presence, presence with my wife, which I neglected for a few years while I was traveling or working, presence with my kids, now with my grandkids, the rest of my friends, and new friends. I also gained a space and time for mastery, my hobbies. I enjoy cooking, well, time to do more and do a little better, exercising, riding the bike three or four times a week, playing pickleball. Retiring has given me time to go more in depth on my preferences instead of just speed, because in my working years, I was always rushing. Even when I was at home, I needed to accomplish, I needed to do things. I needed not to be idle. And retirement has now given me presence and bandwidth.” On Warning Signs “I think there are three main things that one needs to start paying attention to. Isolation. If you don’t have that network, social network, family network, and you become isolated. A loss of structure. Doing nothing without a structure or living in the past tense. When people stop connecting with others, when they drift through the days without an intentional plan, or when they only talk about what they used to be, that should be a warning, – a huge yellow flag for oneself and for loved ones that are looking after them.”

Hello & Welcome to Today's Episode about all things Female Athlete with my friend and colleague, Ros Cooke. I had the pleasure of seeing Ros present on this topic at the POGP conference in Edinburgh last October.In today's episode, we discussed pelvic health in sportsthe 6Rs framework for postpartum athletes and its application to broader pelvic health considerations. (Donnelly et al 2022 Reframing return-to-sport postpartum: the 6 Rs framework)we also explored how pelvic floor dysfunction can contribute to groin pain in athletes and emphasized the importance of integrating pelvic health into mainstream sports medicine practice. The conversation also covered ACL injury prevention in female athletes, with Ros highlighting that while hormonal factors may play a role, they are just one aspect among many including biomechanics, training environment, and overall athlete resilience. We both agreed that successful injury prevention programs need to be purposeful, meaningful, and integrated across all aspects of an athlete's training and lifestyle, with pelvic health being an essential component of this holistic approach.I love needing out with clever people at this intersection of hormonal, pelvic & musculoskeletal health - and I think Ros is doing amazing things in this space to improve education, awareness and outcomes - you can find her on instagram @rosralph - you can find my continuing adventures in women's health there too @michellelyons_muliebrityAnd...if you'd like to learn more about menstrual health AND pelvic health for young female athletes - you might enjoy my latest online course, 'The Menstrual Detective' and you'll get the mini course 'Pelvic Health for the Younger Female Athlete' FOR FREE!!! all the details can be found at CelebrateMuliebrity.comUntil next time, Onwards & Upwards!

And that's what Meredith Curtis is here to talk to us about. So, welcome Meredith. Thanks for being here.Meredith: Oh, thank you for having me. I'm really excited about this year's conference and I love this topic we're talking about. I either call it tools of learning or the seven Rs and they're just so helpful in staying focused and making the majors the majors and the minors the minors.Kerry: That's a great way to put it. We're going to dive into her seven Rs and how it can apply to your homeschool. But before we do that, could you just tell our listeners a little bit about you?Meredith: Yes, I would love to. So, my name is Meredith Curtis and I am a pastor's wife. I'm the mother of five homeschool graduates and I have eight grandchildren that are perfect angels and I feed them too much sugar.I love spending time with my grandchildren. I love to travel. I love to read. I love Jesus. That's probably the most important thing. And I'm a writer and a speaker.Kerry, I love creating curriculum. I love teaching. I love creating curriculum. I love writing Bible studies, studying the Bible. Probably one of my favorite things is I wrote a curriculum called Who Done It? It's my most popular book, and it basically is a high school English class that teaches teens how to write their own cozy mystery.And I actually started writing a cozy mystery series. I have three books in it so far—Tea Time Trouble, Pumpkin Patch Peril, and Old-Fashioned Christmas Murder.Kerry: Okay, y'all. She has two interviews and we've talked about the cozy mysteries in the last one. So, y'all go listen to that. But I was just fascinated. I knew she taught the kids, but now she's written three of her own mystery books. And so, I just think that is so exciting as well. Plus, her husband, does he have four books out now?Meredith: He does. Well, he actually has a fifth book that's not fiction. It's called Forging Godly Men, and it's about mentoring godly men.Kerry: The other ones are novels. So he's got the four novels plus the one on raising our boys to be godly men. Today we're going to talk about writing, but let's back up. I know you either call it the tools of learning or the seven Rs. How did you discover these tools of learning?How the 7 Rs Were Born from CrisisMeredith: Okay. So, I was in my early 40s and I had a four-year-old, five-year-old, six-year-old. My oldest was already graduating from high school, starting college. And so I had this wide range of five children.And my parents got really sick, Kerry. They were so sick and they live four hours away. So I was constantly taking a trip down to South Florida. I live in Central Florida and I would drive that 4 hours and stay with them a few days and then come home.I had to leave one of the older kids in charge of one or two of the younger ones and bring another older one with me with the younger one. And it was just very challenging. And of course, I was heartbroken because my parents were very sick.So during that time, I had to just ask the Lord, "What is the most important thing for my kids to get done?" Because they're going to be doing school apart from me. And the other one, we're going to be in the hospital or we're going to be in doctor's offices or we're going to be taking care of my parents. And I need to be able to at a glance know that they're getting it. So I really need help, Lord.And that is, you know, this is kind of birthed from that. You think about the three Rs, reading, writing, arithmetic. So, this is kind of what I felt like I discovered as a homeschool mom, that these were the tools of learning, the majors, and that if some of the other stuff fell by the wayside, these tools that I kept focusing on were going to allow them to learn anything at all that they needed.It was a really sad season in my life and my mom ended up passing away. My father moved close to us and then two years later he passed away. So it was a very hard season but out of that the Lord taught me not just life lessons but homeschooling lessons. God always brings good things out of very sad things.Kerry: I'm so sorry for your loss. And yet I see it because you got to take care of the majors and let go of things. And there are seasons in homeschooling, seasons in our lives that you may not go to every activity or every art lesson or whatever. You've got to just take care of the majors.Relationships: The Foundation of EverythingKerry: I know that you and I, there's one thing in particular even beyond academics and that's relationships. So why would you say relationships are so foundational to everything else?Meredith: Well, I think that life is basically number one thing relationship. God says he wants to have a relationship with us. In Revelation, he stands at the door and knocks and if anyone hears his voice, he comes in and eats with them. And you only eat with people you like. You know what I mean? Like that's relationship.So I think we have a relational God. He created people to be relational. And learning, I think when learning is birthed out of strong relationships, it is so different because I love Jesus. So I want to learn because I want to glorify him. I want to know what did he create and how does things work.When I became a Christian at 16, learning was a whole new thing for me. It just fascinated me. What is God doing in history? What is he doing here? And so I think when relationships are strong, that's the vertical relationship, but my relationship with my children, if my children know how much I love them, how much I respect them, how much I want their life to be blessed and fulfilled, they're going to be motivated to learn, not just for me, but with me.I think we learn as a family. I didn't know everything when I started homeschooling. I loved learning along the way. And every time we went back through US geography, I learned more.In contrast to that, when relationships are bad and there's yelling, there's always going to be fighting in a home, especially if you have more than one child. But how you resolve it can be resolved in a way that they can be closer afterward.But if there is constant bickering, if your children don't feel like you're for them, if you don't have a high opinion of your children, you're frustrated with them, learning doesn't really take place well. They might be learning, but so often in those situations, I see kids memorizing facts for a test, but they don't enjoy learning.I have just had some of my middle school classes that I teach online. These kids, they're not shy yet, you know, like some of the high schoolers are shy, but they're just—I love learning. And I think they have a family, a home that's happy, that they feel loved by their family and it always bears it out when they talk about their parents, they talk about their siblings, it's positive.So, I think relationships set the atmosphere, but also all the studies I've ever read, the most confident people know that they're loved. And when our children know that they're loved, it gives them a confidence that they can learn anything.Kerry: So good. And really, relationships are what's going to last forever and ever. I mean, even beyond this earth. And so we want to build those good relationships.Plus sometimes, you know, later in life, your kids, their siblings, they may need their siblings to be there for them. And we need to build that relationship and that security so that when they take that risk to go learn something that they're not really sure if they know how to go learn it, then they still feel safe in doing that.The Seven Rs ExplainedKerry: I know you've got these seven Rs. Can you just sort of rattle them off real quickly for us so people sort of have an understanding of what we're talking about?Meredith: Okay. So it would be relationships, reading, rhetoric—it's really communication and thinking—and then writing, research, arithmetic, and right living.Kerry: We're going to dive into some of these. And you mentioned rhetoric and that's a term that's sometimes thrown around. I believe that a couple hundred years ago, everyone really understood that because it was just part of education. And in the 20th century, we have really gotten away from that term. So tell us just a little bit about what that is and why that would be a tool of learning for our kids.Rhetoric: Learning to Think and CommunicateMeredith: Okay. So rhetoric is basically communicating in a way to inform or persuade. Cicero wrote about rhetoric, Aristotle wrote about rhetoric and people still read those. They're not really difficult reading, but some high school kids would enjoy reading those two men. Aristotle was Greek, Cicero was Roman.And it's basically being able to think through things and being able to communicate. So it would cover everything from greeting people and having casual conversations with them, saying, "Oh, Kerry, how are you today?" things like that. And then it would go all the way to watching the news and saying, "Okay, is this logical? Does this make sense? Does this jive with this over here?"And then being able to communicate in conversations, even as far as speaking, eventually reading aloud, all those things to communicate clearly and concisely and graciously.We have some really dynamic speakers in our day, Kerry, that are so ungracious. And sometimes I listen, I'm like, I agree with everything you say, but I wish you would be nicer or you wouldn't use bad language. And so, all of that is involved in rhetoric—the thinking and then what we allow to come through our mouth.Kerry: That is so good. And we need to teach our kids how to communicate instead of just regurgitate a bunch of facts which tends to be sort of our school system. And I could go off and tell y'all stories but we're not going to.Reading: From Struggle to SuccessKerry: I sort of jumped straight to rhetoric and I overlooked reading. Because you sort of have to be able to read. I mean, you can communicate like this, but we need to be able to read to then be able to make decisions and think through and think critically to then communicate. So, can you tell us just a little bit about raising our kids to be able to read and not hate it, maybe actually enjoy it a little bit?Meredith: Yes. Yes. And so, I mean, I could do a whole workshop on this, so I'm going to be really quick, but basically, teach your kids to read. I taught with phonics. I thought it was very simple. But teach them to read and then once they can read, give them everything possible that they can read that's easy and makes them feel successful.In everything when you're homeschooling, you want to lead children from success to success to success, a challenge, then more success, success, success, so that they're mostly feeling confident and then sometimes challenged.And so with reading, they read all these easy readers and then you start introducing classic literature like Charlotte's Web and Stuart Little and then you just keep going with classic literature.The reason I say classic literature is because a lot of the writing even for adults in our culture is at about a third grade level if you went a hundred years ago. So, if we want our children to value freedom, they're going to have to read things by John Locke. They're going to have to read things by Edmund Burke, and they're going to need to be able to read at a stronger level.So, when you keep giving children classic books, the stories are amazing. It's going to build their vocabulary. It's going to help their reading, and they're eventually going to be interested. They hear about a topic, they'll think, "Oh, I'll pick up that book and read it."The way I really made sure that my children enjoyed reading, that was my goal for them to enjoy reading. So I never assigned books until they were in high school.What I did is I had a bookshelf and it had about six shelves and I filled it. They could read anything they wanted from that bookshelf and they just had to tell me the book they read and I would write it down and I would say did you like it or who was your favorite character or what was your favorite thing about it.I never had them—I taught them how to write a book report and they wrote like two or three but that wasn't my goal because I wanted them to love to read and I wanted them to meet friends in make-believe places, in real places and say I want to go back, I want to read that again. So that was my goal.My son was my hardest and he just hated to read and he loved math but he didn't like reading. And so I remember he got saved in like middle school and he came to me. He's like, "Mom, I didn't read any of those books I told you that I read." And so this summer I'm going to read them all because now I want to live for God.But in high school, by the time he graduated from high school, his favorite book was The Count of Monte Cristo, which is like a thousand-page book. So eventually he learned to read. I never gave up on him. But I always tried to find things that he would like, series that he would like. He loved biographies and I got him a lot of biographies. I got him like all these war books about, you know, this bomber, this plane.My goal the whole time was I want my children to love to read and to be able to read anything they want.And I just want to add this. If you have a child with a learning disability, don't just limit them to listening to audio books for the rest of their life. Maybe they need to listen to every other book audio because the reading assignments are too much. But if they're going to do audio, have them read along with the book and follow with the book because that is going to help them to become a stronger reader.There's also a lot of tools for kids with learning disabilities. Don't give up on reading. I've met like 11th graders and they're like, "I don't read. I just listen to audiobooks" and I'm like, "Oh, I'm going to challenge you to read."I had one student like that. And he said, "Okay, I'm going to read this book." And we were reading Plymouth Plantation by William Bradford. He didn't get the modern translation. He got the one from the 1600s.And I said, "Honey, this was the worst book that you will ever read in your life. And if you got through that, you can read anything." And he loved to read after that, but his mom had told him he couldn't. He had a learning disability. And so he had a lot of drive to be able to read like the other kids in our homeschool co-op.I think reading opens the door. You have to read emails, you have to read texts, but reading is just such an open door to adventure. So, I love reading. I'm a very big fan. My parents were both big fans of reading, too.Kerry: Well, and I think your story plays out. I know for me, you've got to get if you have a child that doesn't like to read, continue to search for something of their interest. And you just have to be patient and give them grace. Give yourself grace.My son did not—I mean he could read, he could read a book and he would do it but did he enjoy it? No. And now he's 31 years old and once he got out of college, he loves to read. We exchange titles but like that was 15 years of time just waiting and you're thinking oh next month they're going to love to read.Look, God takes time to work with me so be patient and give yourself years. For my son, it was 12 years.Kerry: And we're like, okay, our kids are grown. Take it from someone that's already been there, not someone that's in the same level as you are.Writing: From Speaking to the PageKerry: So we have reading, we've got rhetoric. Then the next thing, what do you see as any kind of secret to writing effectively?Meredith: Well, I think if you can communicate an idea, then it's easier to write it. So if you can speak, it's easier to write.So what I would often do with my children is—number one, if I was asking them to write a paragraph, we would read paragraphs together. See how this is a topic sentence and how these sentences—or let's read this essay. This is so interesting.First of all, I think for writing, you have to be able to read the kind of writing that you're going to write. Children just don't naturally know how to write an essay. And if you give them the directions, but you don't give them an example, they still don't know what to do.I would always have my children talk to me. Tell me what you want to write about. And then we would just talk and oh that's a great idea. And you know, kind of helping them think through. I had a pattern for teaching writing.I spent a couple of years on sentences because a good sentence makes or breaks a paper. And I still, you know, I teach high school kids and I have some of them who can't write good sentences. So we spent a lot of time writing sentences.First they were so young they would dictate to me and I would write it and then soon they could write their own and then we wrote paragraphs and we wrote all kinds of different paragraphs and we always enclosed our writing in a letter to grandparents because that teaches children early on.Okay, so you're writing this paragraph for grandma, then you're going to write it differently than this paragraph that you're writing for Aunt Julie because she's interested in horses whereas grandma is interested in books and knitting. It teaches them to think in terms of an audience which is really important when you write.So then from paragraphs we would actually move to reports, essays and things like that in middle school. So we did a lot of basic writing and then whenever they wanted to write stories, I'd say, "Oh yeah, write the story." And if they couldn't write well, they could dictate to me and I would type it on the computer.Then in high school, we did all the analyzing literature, writing a research paper. We wrote a novel one year. And fiction is very different than writing non-fiction. So I think my kids wrote every kind of essay, every kind of report. But I tried to make it really fun.And one thing I also did in high school was I'd say, "Okay, here's a paper from two years ago. I'd like you to turn it into a blog post." And they really enjoyed that. But blogging is a completely different kind of writing than writing an essay.We always shared our writing with other people because I wanted them to have in their mind an audience. Whenever I teach homeschool co-op classes, I always have the kids read their papers out loud and that allows them to have an audience.So I say when you're writing this paper, look around the room. This is your audience and you're going to read it out loud to them and you want to write something they'll enjoy. So when I grade their writing papers, I always look for readability. Is it enjoyable to read? Is it written for the audience?And three of my children went into writing. So one became an editor at a magazine and she writes—now she has her own business. She writes. My other daughter taught writing and literature at the local university and now she's a stay-at-home mom. And my youngest daughter has written a screenplay and short stories and stuff like that.Now my daughter Juliana who works for Verizon says she hates writing but she's actually a very good writer. She just doesn't like it.Kerry: That is so good. You know you said something that I know we did a lot in the beginning years. It is easier for kids to speak sentences than to write their first few sentences. So if they speak it as a sentence, I would type up—Hunter would be talking to me about snakes or whatever we read about and we would type it, then the next day he would copy it or edit it.The other thing is giving your kids a reason to write and getting a grade is not a real life reason to write. You've got to have an audience. And if there's an audience, that alone can motivate some kids to actually do a better job because they feel like they're writing to a person. And if you're just writing for a grade, that's sort of dull sometimes.Arithmetic: Consistency and MasteryKerry: We've got writing, then we have arithmetic. And I know there's some moms that have some fear. I was a math minor and by the time my kids got in high school I was like what did I learn in my math minor years? I loved math in high school but by then I didn't really care for math as much. So what kind of tips can you give them because we do need our kids to be able to use math skills?Meredith: I think my number one tip for math would be do math every day and put a time limit on it so it doesn't feel like, oh my goodness, I'm going to be here two hours to finish this lesson. But I think consistency is the most important thing with math.And be confident. Don't be afraid to hire a tutor for math or to put your kids in a co-op class for math because if mom hates math then it's hard for kids to like math. And I have a friend named Leanne and she did so much tutoring in our church for co-op kids because their moms just hated math.I was like you—when my son took calculus I said honey, no idea. I don't know. But so I would say make sure that they're scoring 90% or higher on their tests and they know why they got the problems wrong.And here's why. The early years they learn so many foundational things. And a lot of times when I'm helping kids who have trouble with pre-algebra, with algebra, with algebra 2 or geometry, it goes all the way back to fractions and decimals and multiplying and dividing.One child was really struggling with math. So I just repeated a grade. I just repeated a whole grade in a different curriculum. And she ended up joining this engineering club called Math Counts in middle school and went all the way to state. So she wasn't dumb. She just needed more repetition.I hear people say, "Well, why should they do repetition?" Well, I would say that math is learning to get the problems right over and over and over again until you're solid.I always started with math because I feel like it kind of gets all the neurons charged and working—like sort of the workout for the brain. But again, I would just do it every day. It's better to do a half hour of math every day than do like a slug session for three hours because you're behind.If kids get behind in math, they get behind in math and that means we do some math over the summer. That was kind of how I looked at it. But I was a real stickler with math and as a result the kids did well with math. But it wasn't necessarily anyone's favorite except for Jimmy my son.Kerry: Well you know I think you hit on another good point—mastery. I was a public school teacher and we did have a minimum but nowadays it didn't matter if you know it or not. You just keep moving those kids through the school. What's the point?If those kids do not understand single-digit division, they're not going to understand long division. So, work on it. And, you know, you can find some fun activities to make it all work. There's lots of hands-on. I do believe mastery in math because it is sequential and it keeps building on it like you said with geometry.Meredith: That's a good point. Math is one of the few things that is sequential. Everything else you could learn, you know, American Revolution and then ancient history. It doesn't matter. But math is sequential. And so if they don't learn the basics, they're always going to struggle.Research: Beyond "Hey Google"Kerry: Okay. So after arithmetic, next we have got research. So how is that a tool? How would you encourage moms?Meredith: Okay. Well, I think right now if you say research, people just look things up on Google.Kerry: I know that's true. Or you know what? My grandkids wouldn't look it on Google. I'm not going to do it because I've got a little Google machine. They just go, "Hey, Google." And then they'd ask whatever that question is and let it speak to them and they don't even have to read it. They'll just listen.Meredith: I always think, what if an enemy of the US just shut down our internet for a week? It would be like, oh my goodness.But I think it's important for kids to know how to find things in books, like how to read a textbook to find the table of contents and how to go find the subject you're looking for. How to use directories, how to use an atlas, how to use maps. They could use Google Maps, but how did they find stuff on Google Maps?And then just being able to go to different kinds of research books like a dictionary, a thesaurus, an encyclopedia, and then actually to research—to look things up and to find different books about it and research a topic and especially in research to read about opposing viewpoints.I think that's very important to read about this viewpoint and this viewpoint that are completely polar opposites. I think that's an important part of research because there's been a main point in our school system for years and it's been like almost brainwashing kids but we don't want to do the same thing.We want to make sure that our children know both sides of the issue and then where we stand and why we stand where we stand logically, not just based on emotion.I think that's an important part of research. It kind of ties in with rhetoric. Also everything is research from looking up a recipe and finding the best recipe to researching for a research paper.And so, you know, one of the things about research is trying out different things until you find what's best. Trying out different exercises till you find the one that works the best or you enjoy the most. So, research is really a lifelong thing.Kerry: Even if you are saying, "Hey, Google."Meredith: Yes. They're like, "Oh, Gigi, that's okay. We'll go find—here. Come here." And they take me over to their little machine and ask it a question. Sometimes they understand, the girls, sometimes they don't.Kerry: That is so good. And I like that idea of research is all different things. It's not just writing a research paper. My kids actually every year in high school had to write one research paper. And we just really—the requirements in ninth grade were different than the 12th grade because hopefully they were growing in their research skills as well. And they do have to write so many research papers in college. So that was probably really helpful for them.Now we got AI. So y'all go listen to the AI talks that we have in this summit because we're going to show you—no, you can't just go get AI to write your research paper. So we got a few little speakers on that. Y'all probably need to go listen.Meredith: Oh, I need to listen to it because someone mentioned it and I was like, "My children in my classes would never use AI."Right Living: The Closing BookendKerry: The last one we started with relationships, which I think is super important. We got a lot of academic things. Right living—and that's the last one. But I don't think it's the least. So, tell us a little bit about that and why you put that there.Meredith: Well, I put it last because it's kind of a sandwich of the academics. Relationship and then right living because right living is weaving through everything.And you teach children to be polite, to be obedient, to work hard, not just with their chores, but with their schoolwork. And so it just makes sense.And also there's something about living right even before children give their hearts to Christ. When you live the right way in a way that's moral, you feel better. You don't have like a lot of guilt. You don't have a lot of shame because you've done the right thing. You've worked hard. You've done what you need to do.So, I feel like it's a confidence booster as well to have right living be part of a focus, but it makes teaching easier when you're focused on training children to have manners, to have virtue. It makes it easier to get school done because it's just part of their character to—okay, this is kind of my job. I'm going to do it well.Kerry: That's so good. And I was thinking I didn't mean to steal your thunder by saying what I said, but relationships, right living—that's the most important. And I got the academics in the middle.Meredith: Exactly. Yeah. It's like a sandwich. And so it's a reminder—I think when you start with right living, you can become legalistic, you can become harsh. But if you start with relationships and sandwich it with right living, I think it helps you have a really good balance between the two.The 7 Rs ResourceKerry: That is so good. Hey, I know you've got a really good resource about these seven Rs that could help our homeschoolers. Could you tell people a little bit about that?Meredith: So, this is called The Seven Rs of Homeschooling. And you can tell all my books have a little Florida flair. A lot of them do. But it goes through each of the seven Rs I mentioned—how to teach them, practical resources.It was again birthed out of that season where it was a necessity for me to major on the majors and minor on the minors. And so it's not like oh this is my theory from my Ivy League tower but this is where we had to live. And it really helped me kind of refocus.And it ended up putting writing assignments and speaking, conversational—that's how we ended up putting book clubs in our literature classes and history classes because I found out how important conversation was. We just would have conversations all the way down to my parents' house.So I really recommend The Seven Rs. It's an easy read and it goes through each one and how it's a benefit and how you can in practical ways—it talks about if you have some issues with reading with your kids and how to go step by step.It's written for elementary, middle, and high school. So, you can pick it up when they're still in high school and just sort of give an overview of your children. If you pull your kids out of high school, out of a public school, and you bring them home, one of the things you want to do is you want to kind of evaluate where they're at in these—not with a test, but with just observing what are they able to do, what are they confident in, what do they still need more help. So, this is another good tool for that.Kerry: That is awesome. So, wherever you're listening to this, look below and we will have a link that you can click on and go grab a copy of this excellent resource because I mean this will give you practical tips to be able to implement these seven Rs and evaluate where your kids are.Meredith, thank you so much for being here.

Dire warnings are being issued about the pressing need to protect the endangered Syrian Kurdish population under attack by government forces in the war-torn country. Both Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo have taken to social media encouraging renewed support of the Kurds after hints have been made our relationship with them has ended. The U.S.-allied Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) played a large role in dismantling the ISIS terror group's caliphate that spread from Syria to Iraq. FOX's Eben Brown speaks Qanta Ahmed, world-travelled human rights investigator and Senior Fellow with The Independent Women's Forum, who says the United States needs to immediately begin active support of the Syrian Kurds, a longtime ally.
