The 365 Days of Astronomy, the daily podcast of the International Year of Astronomy 2009
Dr. Al Grauer hosts. Dr. Albert D. Grauer ( @Nmcanopus ) is an observational asteroid hunting astronomer. Dr. Grauer retired from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock in 2006. travelersinthenight.org From September 2025. Today's 2 topics: - The lunar roving, battery powered, 4 wheel drive "Moon Buggy" allowed astronauts on Apollo 15, 16, and 17 to travel 8 mph on the lunar surface with a maximum range of approximately 4.7 mi. Some of the rocks that these space travelers brought back, from the tiny area they were able to visit on the Moon, contained volcanic glass beads with trace amounts of trapped water inside of them. - When the Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa visited the near Earth asteroid Itokawa in 2005 it found this 2000 foot by 800 foot elliptical world to have a variety of surface features. Instead of being a solid object like some asteroids, Itokawa is a rubble pile of boulders and pebbles held together by its tiny gravity. The total volume of pebbles seems to be comparable to the volume of large rocks and boulders which make up Itokawa , however, the depths of the pebbles or their concentration in the center remains unknown. Given this uncertainty, this asteroid appears to be made up of a million times more small particles than larger ones.

The retail giant is cancelling it's voluntary recall notice for three products. Kmart has informed the Ministry of Business that testing comissioned by the company confirmed no asbestos was found. However, a recall is still in place for some other products. MBIE's Product Safety Spokesperson Ian Cpalin spoke to Lisa Owen.
Ep. 211 (Part 1 of 2) | Zaya and Maurizio Benazzo are not only the founders of the longstanding and highly regarded Science & Nonduality Conference (SAND), but also brilliant filmmakers, producing stunning documentaries about the injustice and suffering occurring in Palestine and elsewhere, as well as films that feature the eternal wisdom of elders from Indigenous communities around the world. Zaya and Maurizio are clearly passionate about their work, and co-host Roger Walsh points out they do a beautiful job of intertwining the personal, professional, and spiritual into an offering that meets the needs of our time. As Maurizio says, “There is no spiritual work. Period. Everything is spiritual work! It's life.”In Part 1 of this episode, lively and inspired, Zaya and Maurizio share what they've learned about life, spirituality, trauma, healing, guidance, and the deep-time perspective of the Maori. They relate the trajectory of SAND's evolution from featuring male-dominated nondual teachings to include an understanding of trauma, somatic healing, feminine, earth-oriented teachings, and Indigenous wisdom. “Healing never ends; it's a lifelong journey—there's no modern solution that will ‘fix' you,” Zaya tells us. Also, “We are constantly being guided if we just listen.”In Part 2, Zaya and Maurizio describe the making of their 2021 documentary about the tragic mistreatment of Palestinians in the West Bank, a beautiful, heartbreaking film called Where Olive Trees Weep. Also their film The Eternal Song, an ongoing project to bring forth Indigenous teachings, so valuable and timely for us now in our chaotic, disconnected world. This whole conversation is thought provoking, delightful, profound, paradigm shifting, and inspiring all at once.

Ghana ist der führende Goldproduzent Afrikas. Das westafrikanische Land exportiert den kostbaren Rohstoff in alle Welt – auch in die Schweiz. Doch der Abbau von Gold ist komplex, schwer kontrollierbar – und manchmal auch illegal. In Ghanas Goldregion rund um die Stadt Tarkwa liegen Welten zwischen den internationalen Industrieminen und den Goldschürfern, die illegal und oft mit einfachsten Mitteln nach dem kostbaren Rohstoff suchen. «Es ist gefährlich und schwierig, da hinunterzusteigen», erklärt ein Kleinmineur, der ohne Bewilligung arbeitet. «Aber es ist einer der einfachsten Wege, zu Geld zu kommen». Zwei Welten: Hier die gut bewachten Hightech-Minen, mit modernsten Maschinen, zertifiziertem Gold und ausgefeilter Logistik. Dort die schmutzigen, einfachen und illegalen Kleinminen. Und doch vermischen sich diese beiden Welten öfter als offiziell zugegeben wird. Denn dort, wo illegal abgebaut wird, und wo der Schürfabfall zu scheinbar wertlosen Haufen aufgeschüttet wird, liegt nicht nur Erde. Sondern sehr viel Geld. Und ein ganzer Graubereich des globalen Goldhandels.

Juletiden er også tiden, hvor man er sammen med familien. Men der er også mange, som har afbrudt eller mistet kontakt til en nær pårørende, og det er særligt smertefuldt op til jul. Mike har talt med Ilse Sand, Psykoterapeut, forfatter og tidligere sognepræst . Hun har skrevet en bogen ”Savner du en”, som netop handler om det - og ikke mindst hvordan man genopretter kontakten.
Happiest of Thanksgivings, Vintage Sand fans, and welcome to Episode 63, our tribute to the incomparable and quietly brilliant Robert Redford. Consider this. If all the Sundance Kid had given us was a series of memorable and subtly complex performances as an actor in a career spanning half a century, that would have been enough to make him a critically important figure in Hollywood, particularly in that mini-Golden Age of the American New Wave of the 1970's. Had the only thing he given us was two masterpieces ("Ordinary People" and "Quiz Show") and his other often beautiful work as a director, that alone would make him a legend. Had the only thing he done was pave the way for the arrival of nearly every single great American film director of the last four decades through his work as the founder and inspiration behind the Sundance Film Festival, that would make him one of the towering figures in the history of American film. And had he focused his seemingly boundless energies exclusively on the best of social causes, such as climate issues and indigenous rights, in the quiet and unassuming way he did, that would be a cause for a celebration of his greatness. The fact that Robert Redford managed to do all of this and more during his lifetime, and with such an unerring sense of grace, cements his place as a foundational figure of modern American cinema. Team Vintage Sand takes the last line from one of his greatest performances, in 1972's "The Candidate", and uses it as the title of our tribute to him as we ponder the what American film will look like without him: What do we do now?
Sand is everywhere along the shore—countless tiny grains beneath our feet. As we pause to look closer, we're reminded of Psalm 139:17–18 and the truth that God's thoughts toward us outnumber them all. In this episode, we reflect on how easily we slip into thinking we know best, and how gently God invites us to trust His wisdom instead. The grains of sand become a simple, beautiful reminder of His sovereignty, His care, and His immeasurable thoughts over our lives.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Join us for a deeply moving conversation with Sarah Lustig, Founder and Nurse Director of Hoofprints in the Sand, as she introduces the powerful new HITS Club. This naturalistic, experiential equine facility is offering a unique path to healing for our veterans, first responders, and their families right here in the Lowcountry. Located on a serene 18-acre property within the expansive Francis Marion Park, HITS Club offers a safe haven from the interruptions of daily life. The facility is much more than a clinical setting; it's a therapeutic retreat featuring walking, biking, and hiking trails, a pond, gardening areas, wildlife observation, and social spaces like barbecue and fire pits. It is truly a place for colleagues and comrades to reconnect and overcome trauma symptoms. The program has two membership levels: Level 1: Recreation & Wellness This level is perfect for the whole family, focusing on recreational activities and therapeutic healing through leisurely enjoyment of the facility and observing the herd. Level 2: Equine-Assisted Therapy & Horsemanship This includes all Level 1 benefits, plus direct, one-on-one introduction to equine-assisted therapy, horsemanship, and husbandry skills. Using evidence-based therapies, this intensive 16-to-32-week program specifically targets the mental and physical consequences of PTSD and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI). After achieving their goals and demonstrating high efficacy, members can even learn to ride horses and teach lessons! Hoofprints in the Sand is making history as the first facility of its kind on the East Coast to be credentialed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, a mission strongly supported by Congresswoman Nancy Mace. They are working hard to prove animal-assisted therapy is a highly effective, non-traditional approach. Listen now to learn more about the critical work Sarah and her team are doing to ensure those who serve us receive the best care—and find out how you can help them continue providing care for veterans who cannot afford it.

Welcome / bienvenidos to Episode 98 of Love Learning You, sponsored by ProTeachAI Foundation.In this solo episode, Justine gets honest about why 2024–2025 have been some of the most challenging years of her life, and how three practices keep resurfacing as a lifeline: pause, ponder, pivot.Drawing from her research on intergenerational communication, the loss of her mother, and the quiet reshaping of her own partnerships and projects, she invites listeners to slow down and take inventory:Who are you partnered with and why: professionally, personally, spiritually?Who is truly supporting who you're becoming?Where is grief, caregiving, or unresolved family pain quietly steering your choices?Justine shares a powerful reflection inspired by Thich Nhat Hanh's Answers from the Heart, including three core questions about childhood pain, caring for aging parents, and power dynamics in relationships. From there, she connects the dots between family systems, trauma, love, caregiving, and faith, weaving in the classic “Footprints in the Sand” image as a reminder that we are often carried when we feel most alone.You'll also hear a big update about the future of Love Learning You:Why long-form video episodes are shifting to shorter “micro-dose” audio episodesHow the Love Learning You YouTube channel (youtube.com/@lovelearningyou) will become a home for free workshops, trainings, and featured learning labsWhat's ahead with featured voices like Dr. Lynda Hodges, Dr. Brent Comer, and Marla Echols, and a new production partner, Vivid Scope Creative Solutions.This is an episode for anyone who feels like they've been wandering in the desert a bit and/or balancing caregiving, grief, ambition, faith, and the constant need to adjust course.You are not behind. You are pivoting.
Chapter 1 throws the readers straight into a desert superstorm as the kids are ripped from their normal lives and dropped into a terrifying, supernatural in-between moment from Abraham's covenant with God. Sand roars, fire blazes, and two ancient, fiery forms—the blazing torch and smoking firepot—tear through the storm as Keeper shouts for the kids to hold fast. Fumbling, panicking, barely holding together, they witness the covenant ritual that shaped Israel's future before being hurled back into their church hallway. Breathless and shaken, they realize this wasn't an accident—they've been pulled into something ancient, divine, and far bigger than any of them are ready for.

Riddled with anxiety, no sleep and no answers, some parents are still waiting to hear back from retailers about asbestos-contaminated children's coloured play sand. During the past two weeks there's been rolling recalls of the magic sand used by children and schools across the country, raising concerns about imported children's products. Parents say they're worried about the long-term impacts of exposure and the costs of testing and removal. Bella Craig reports.
There's an issue burning away at the moment, affecting thousands or tens of thousands of us that I don't think is getting anything like the attention it deserves. Three additional coloured sand products tested positive for asbestos contamination this week. Two on Monday, another on Thursday. Additional brands sold at discount shops around the country to add to the products already announced in the recall earlier this month. I'll put my cards on the table: our 8-year-old is at a school that has been affected by the recall. They tested and found traces of asbestos and a number of classrooms have been affected. Even though the testing found no traces of asbestos in the air, for at least the remainder of the year, the school has been thrown into a situation where they're trying to teach the same number of kids in far fewer classrooms. It means ad-hoc, cramped learning spaces. In two classrooms they're going to have to remove all the carpet, wall coverings, and soft furnishings. Other classrooms require professional deep-cleans. It's not clear if the work will be finished in time for term one next year and the clean-up is going to cost tens-of-thousands of dollars. But as we were informed in a letter home this week —surprise, surprise— no one wants to pay for it. The school's insurance won't cover it. The Ministry of Education won't cover it. Kmart, which in the school's case had sold the dangerous product, has directed them to the manufacturer in China. As it stands, the school is expecting to have to cover the cost of the clean-up. Money that should have been spent on educating children will not be repaid. How many New Zealand schools face a similar situation? All we know is that as of yesterday, nine schools or early learning centres had tested positive for asbestos. 129 were still waiting to confirm testing results, although the Ministry of Education says it's just a voluntary reporting system at the moment (which seems inadequate!), so the number could be higher. You can hardly blame the schools for the situation. They weren't negligent. It's not like they knowingly painted their classrooms with lead paint. They bought a children's product that should have been ideal for creative learning from reputable retailers with an entirely reasonable expectation that it would be safe. And now that this has been discovered, it's not like they can just ignore it. Schools that are testing are doing the right thing. Even if the risk is super low, what parent would allow their child to be taught in a classroom that was testing positive for asbestos? What teacher would teach in it? In my view it would be a great injustice if the schools that are doing the right thing in handling this crisis ended up significantly out of pocket. Surely under our consumer guarantee and product safety laws, retailers can't simply abdicate all responsibility and palm off the affected schools to distant manufacturers in China? And even if legally they can, then surely there is a moral responsibility to do the right thing. One obvious measure I think would help the affected schools is a collective legal effort, so they're not all fighting for redress or compensation in isolation. It's the sort of thing you'd reasonably expect the Ministry of Education to help with coordinating once testing results are confirmed everywhere. There's no telling where this whole thing will end up. But while at least their classrooms will be safe, if schools end up footing the bill for all the testing and clean-up of a product they reasonably trusted, at the end of the day it'll be our kids who pay the price.

Retailers who have sold children's coloured play sand potentially laced with asbestos need to be held to account, according to Labour's consumer Affairs spokesperson. The contamination scare has prompted a recall of several brands, including another one just this afternoon. It's illegal to import any products with asbestos and its up to sellers to make sure any toys are up to safety standard. Labour Consumer Affairs spokesperson Arena Williams spoke to Lisa Owen.

Expressing sand quantities as a depth makes communication easier. But to know the depth, you need to know how much sand was applied to begin with. I've been surprised at how many turf managers don't know the exact amount applied. This short episode explains why I think you should measure sand amounts.Blog post discussed was https://www.asianturfgrass.com/post/sand-topdressing-by-depth/Sand rate unit conversion calculator at https://asianturfgrass.shinyapps.io/om246/USGA video on measuring sand https://youtu.be/7tPilHP5QiAATC video on measuring sand by exact methods https://youtu.be/6LurONpyg5MRead more about all kinds of turfgrass topics at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/Find a suite of decision-making tools at https://www.paceturf.org/Get free ATC newsletters at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/newsletter/ Find out more about soil tests with ATC at https://www.asianturfgrass.com/project/soil-tests/See GCSAA Conference seminars at https://gcsaaconference.com/
Sandžív Gupta býval kdysi pokládán za vizionáře, který dokáže zachránit evropské hutě před zánikem. Jenomže zatímco jeho ocelárny v Británii, Rumunsku i České republice končí v insolvenci, vyšetřovatelé v několika zemích rozplétají podezření z daňových úniků, praní špinavých peněz i podvodů s emisními povolenkami. Nyní začalo vyšetřování Guptovy ocelárny v Rumunsku – zaměřuje se i na firmu Liberty Ostrava, kterou Gupta koupil v roce 2019. Článek Barbory Šturmové čte Renata Klusáková.
Are we seeing a rise of the most dangerous personality type among the Gen Z generation? On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we started off the week with our expert on narcissism addressing this very issue along with more of your questions. Once again using both her professional training and her personal experiences, continued to show us to how to biblically address the many challenges that come with having a narcissist in your life and family. A joyful biking adventure around the world turned into a horrible tragedy of violence and death at the hands of ISIS terrorists. We were once again joined by a prolific author who tackled their amazingly tragic story. His meticulous research and gifted ability to tell a story takes us right into their experiences, the transformative encounters along the way and how and why one member’s hopeful but naïve view of the world became a doorway to their demise. The idea of “spiritual stupidity” may seem at first blush offensive but as our guest, a highly respected evangelist and author pointed out, the bible is filled with stories of people who were spiritually stupid who did not take the warnings from God seriously and lived to regret that choice sometimes with eternal consequences. Through the stories of Adam & Eve, their sons, King Saul and others our guest reminded us that God is both a merciful and a serious God and that His warning are real and not to be ignored. The incarnation of Christ, God becoming man and dwelling among us has been a rock of offense for many people throughout history. Many Jewish scholars has stumbled over it and tripping has created a wide chasm between Christians and Jews who share the same Messiah. But we were reminded that the incarnation is grounded in the Hebrew scriptures as prophecy and promise in the Old Testament and our guest used history, science to once again compelling show that the impossible did happen and that the acceptance or rejection of this amazing truth has wide ranging and eternal consequences for us all. From antisemitism to A.I. From Gaza tensions to government shutdowns. There has been no lack of news fighting for our attention this week. It can be easy to get overwhelmed by the constant onslaught. And that is why we invite you once again to join us for more lessons on the practical, real-time applications of God’s unbending truth as the measuring rod against the crooked, confused and sometimes completely deceptive goods that inform and influence the world around us through the news and social media that we consume daily.

Basically it would be a found footage gonzo horror movie where a guy overdoses in an abandoned Burger King for a YouTube video and then Solsbury Hill starts playing and he comes back to life and nuts hands free. Jack Black would do a great job in the Chris Benoit biopic and the doctor said I can make dirty rice clean. "A clean behind is a terrible thing to waste."
