As the federal government shutdown drags on, Pennsylvania families are waiting for heating assistance. A natural gas driller is facing criminal charges over its fracking operations in northcentral Pennsylvania. Open enrollment is underway for people seeking health insurance through the Pennsylvania Individual Exchange, known as Pennie. But State Attorney General Dave Sunday warns consumers to beware of scams. In Cumberland County, the latest round of exhumations of Native American students from a cemetery at the former Carlisle Indian Industrial School has resulted in the remains of 17 more students being repatriated to their families and tribes, the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma and the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma. And a deeper dive. Legislation before the state Senate would ban students from using their cell phones in school. More than half of U-S states have enacted similar restrictions in recent years.

This week on Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd crank up the distortion and pay tribute to one of rock's most unstoppable forces — Joan freakin' Jett. From her trailblazing work with The Runaways to her solo anthems that defined rebellion for generations, the duo dives deep into the riffs, the attitude, and the pure rock heart that make Jett a legend.Professor Aubrey breaks down what makes Jett's guitar tone so distinct — that raw, unapologetic crunch that says “I don't need your approval.” Tim the Nerd, meanwhile, waxes poetic (and a little nostalgic) about the cultural punch of “Bad Reputation” and how “I Love Rock and Roll” became the rallying cry for every outsider with a beat-up leather jacket.The songs on the turntable this week include:“I Love Rock and Roll,” “Bad Reputation,” “Crimson and Clover,” “Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah),” “Make Believe,” “Light of Day,” “Fake Friends,” and a trip back to her Runaways days with “Cherry Bomb,” “You Drive Me Wild,” “I Love Playing with Fire,” and “School Days.”Expect sharp insights, a few laughs, and a lot of love for the woman who turned raw energy into timeless empowerment. Whether you've been blasting Jett since the ‘70s or you're just discovering her now, this episode is pure, high-voltage rock and roll.Because as Joan herself proved — you don't have to give a damn about your bad reputation… you just have to turn it up.Listen to the songs on our YouTube Playlist.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

It's Thursday, October 2nd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Hindus barged into church assaulted pastor and destroyed Bibles Praise God! A court in India recently acquitted a Christian who faced charges under an “anti-conversion” law. The state of Uttarakhand passed the measure in 2018. Pastor Nandan Singh Bisht was the first Christian charged under the law. He faced years of legal battles. However, a judicial magistrate finally cleared the pastor of all charges on September 17th. The case began in 2021. Pastor Bisht gathered with 25 Christians in his house for prayer. In response, local Hindus barged into the house, destroyed their Bibles, and assaulted the pastor. Despite the ordeal, Pastor Bisht told Morning Star News that God was “always faithful and sustained my family's needs. This is the result of answered prayers.” In Matthew 5:11-12, Jesus said, “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in Heaven.” Filipino earthquake kills 60 A 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck the Philippines on Tuesday. The powerful quake killed at least 60 people and injured over 150 more. Philippine Red Cross Chairman Richard Gordon told CNN, “Some churches partially collapsed, and some schools had to be evacuated. This [earthquake] was a sleeper. It crept up on us.” Wycliff Bible Translators released 23 complete Bibles & 95 New Testaments Wycliffe Bible Translators released their latest statistics on Tuesday. Over the past year, translators have released 23 complete Bibles and 95 New Testaments. This work brings the whole Bible to nearly 200 million more people. James Poole, the executive director of Wycliffe Bible Translators, stated, “In recent years, we have seen an extraordinary surge in Bible translation. Progress is happening at a pace and scale not witnessed before, and whole communities are beginning to receive the Scriptures far sooner than we could once have imagined.”  Scottish police arrest pro-life grandmother for second time Police in Scotland recently re-arrested a 75-year-old pro-life grandmother for standing outside an abortion mill Rose Docherty simply held a sign that read, “Coercion is a crime, here to talk, only if you want.” It's the second time authorities arrested her under Scotland's buffer zone law.  The U.S. State Department told The Telegraph, “The arrest of Rose Docherty is another egregious example of the tyrannical suppression of free speech happening across Europe.” U.S. Gov't shutdown @ midnight Wednesday The U.S. government entered a shutdown at midnight on Wednesday.  Congressional leaders could not reach a deal to pass a spending bill by the deadline. Republicans are calling for spending cuts, while Democrats are pushing for more social programs and foreign aid. Listen to comments from Vice President J.D. Vance.  VANCE: “To the American people who are watching, the reason your government is shut down at this very minute is because, despite the fact that the overwhelming majority of congressional Republicans and even a few moderate Democrats supported opening the government, the Chuck Schumer/AOC wing of the Democratic Party shut down the government because they said to us, ‘We will open the government, but only if you give billions of dollars of funding for healthcare for illegal aliens.” Previously, the federal government has had 20 funding gaps, resulting in 10 shutdowns since 1976. Contemporary Christian Music ranked 4th and religious stations ranked 2nd Inside Radio released the top 10 radio formats based on current month counts. Religion-formatted stations ranked second, and Contemporary Christian Music ranked fourth. Of the top 10, only Contemporary Christian has welcomed new stations into the format every month over the last year. Religion-formatted stations also saw consistent growth.  Other music formats like Country and Top 40 lost a significant number of stations.   Public & private school students bring their Bible to school today And finally, today is Focus on the Family's annual Bring Your Bible to School Day.  Nearly 1.3 million people and over 10,000 churches participated last year.  Emerson Collins is the Parenting and Youth Program Manager for Focus on the Family. He told The Christian Post, “We're looking at thousands of churches, thousands of schools and 2 million students total participating.” Collins said the celebration is not just about bringing Bibles to school but also talking about Christ. He noted, “That's what we're hoping to create is the curiosity, the connection and the conversation around Christ and the Gospel.” The celebration is inspired this year by James 1:22. The verse says, “Be doers of the Word, and not hearers only.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, October 2nd, in the year of our Lord 2025. Follow us on X or subscribe for free by Spotify, Amazon Music, or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus (Adam@TheWorldview.com).

Are you enjoying this? Are you not? Tell us what to do more of, and what you'd like to hear less of. The Reykjavík Grapevine's Iceland Roundup brings you the top news with a healthy dash of local views. In this episode, Grapevine publisher Jón Trausti Sigurðarson is joined by Heimildin journalist Aðalsteinn Kjartansson, and Grapevine friend and contributor Sindri Eldon to roundup the stories making headlines in recent weeks. On the docket this week are: ✨ Three AI robots have started “working” for the Icelandic container company. Their job is to sort garbage. ✨ Morgunblaðið has been  going nuts about the profitability of drilling for oil on the ocean floor north east of Iceland, in an area generally referred to as “Drekasvæðið” or the Dragon Zone. What do you guys think is driving this discussion, and does it really make sense to drill for oil — underwater — at this point in history?✨ Four out of ten Icelanders say they have faith. Down from just over half of the population 10 years ago. 25% claim to be atheist, compared to about 15% in 2014. We see the trend of young men being more religious that women, with a third of men saying they have faith, while only a fifth of women report the same. ✨ A Reykjavík city council member of Viðreisn, suggested during a city council meeting last week, that the school summer recess would be shortened. The minister of education announced he'd be willing to discuss the proposition. ✨ On Friday, Estonia announced they were putting article 4 of the NATO charter into effect, initiating a consultation among the member states. This happened after Russian airplanes entered Estonian airspace.✨ Political parties meet over the weekend. Viðreisn, one of the three political parties of the majority coalition government was re-elected chairman of that party over the weekend. The Pirate party also met over, decided to take up the status of chair and co-chairman as a part of their party's hierarchy, but nobody really seemed interested in becoming chairman of the party.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WHO ARE WE?The Reykjavík Grapevine is an alternative monthly magazine, bringing you all the news and views on Ice------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SHOW SUPPORTSupport the Grapevine's reporting by becoming a member of our High Five Club: https://steadyhq.com/en/rvkgrapevine/You can also support the Grapevine by shopping in our online store: https://shop.grapevine.is------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This is a Reykjavík Grapevine podcast.The Reykjavík Grapevine is a free alternative magazine in English published 18 times per year, biweekly during the spring and summer, and monthly during the autumn and winter.

Homily from the School Day of Prayer for Peace and Unity in the USA

The new school year means that once again some kids are walking or biking through neighborhoods and on busy streets to get to class. Safe Routes to School is a nationwide, federally funded initiative that works to educate and encourage students to bike and walk to school safely. There are Safe Routes to School programs across Oregon, including one serving students in the Salem-Keizer School District.    The Salem-Keizer Safe Routes to School program started five years ago, but because of the pandemic, and the inability to reach students in schools, it didn’t really take off until fall 2022 when Beth Schmidt was hired to lead it. Since then, Schmidt has worked with the district and other partners to teach bus, pedestrian and bike safety, including PE classes that started last year in partnership with Cycle Oregon to help kids learn how to ride bikes and follow the rules of the road.  Next month, the Portland-based nonprofit The Street Trust will be giving Schmidt an award for her efforts to advocate for the successful passage of SB 450, which Gov. Tina Kotek signed into law in June. It designates Nov. 14 as Ruby Bridges Walk to School Day in Oregon to honor Bridges’ courage in helping end school segregation in the U.S. Schmidt joins us to talk about her work in Salem and Keizer to make streets safer for students.

Walk & Roll to School: The Positive Environmental and Health Impacts Guests: Stephen Heiny, research associate, Highway Safety Research Center, University of North Carolina (UNC), and Ishaa Gadkari, State Physical Activity Coordinator, RI Department of Health - Healthy Eating and Active Living Program (HEAL). In 1969, 48 percent of students in grades K-8 walked or rode a bike to school. In 2017, only 11 percent of students in grades K-8 eight walked or rode bikes to school. Research studies identify safety concerns as the primary reason for the decrease. Safety considerations include traffic volume and speed, sidewalk and crosswalk infrastructure, incidents of crime and levels of policing. In this episode, we talk about how to redesign community environments in ways that support safe routes to school and events like the National Walk & Roll to School Day, an annual October event. We also discuss the environmental and health benefits of walking to school. Stephen Heiny joins us from the Highway Safety Research Center. He focuses on youth active travel safety, Vision Zero and the Safe System approach, supporting safety efforts in North Carolina and across the United States. He evaluates speed reduction countermeasures, provides technical assistance for Safe Routes to School programs and supports the annual Walk, Bike & Roll to School Day events. Ishaa Gadkari joins us from the RI Department of Health. As the State Physical Activity Coordinator, she directs the Healthy Eating and Active Living Program (HEAL). Ishaa specializes in projects related to the built environment, active transportation and physical activity. She is passionate about walkable cities and environments, public transportation and health policy. She supports city and town fun runs and walks, Safe Routes to School, Walking School Bus and Safe Routes to Parks.

Back to school can be challenging for families. I find that many moms I talk to are more susceptible to the "Am I doing enough?" question this time of year.

rumoer van stemmen, gelach en verhalen over de zomer.En: Inside the corridors, there was a clamor of voices, laughter, and stories about the summer.Nl: Bram stond in een hoek van de drukke gang.En: Bram stood in a corner of the busy hallway.Nl: Hij keek naar zijn schema en voelde een mix van nervositeit en opwinding.En: He looked at his schedule and felt a mix of nervousness and excitement.Nl:

the popular one, the shining star of the school.Nl: Maar onder dat vrolijke uiterlijk borrelde een andere realiteit.En: But beneath that cheerful exterior, another reality brewed.Nl: Schoolwerk en sociale verplichtingen stapelden zich op als een onhoudbare berg.En: Schoolwork and social obligations piled up like an insurmountable mountain.Nl: Lisette zuchtte even, onopgemerkt door haar

mensen kennen en merkte dat zijn stem gehoord werd.En: He got to know people and noticed that his voice was being heard.Nl: Lisette bewonderde zijn vastberadenheid, maar worstelde nog steeds met haar eigen angsten.En: Lisette admired his determination but still struggled with her own fears.Nl: Op een dag, na een drukke vergadering, nam ze Bram apart.En: One day, after a busy meeting, she took Bram aside.Nl: Ze vertelde hem over de druk die ze voelde en haar angst om mensen teleur te stellen.En: She told him about the pressure she felt and her fear of disappointing people.Nl: Bram luisterde aandachtig.En: Bram listened attentively.Nl: "Je hoeft niet altijd perfect te zijn," zei hij zacht.En: "You don't always have to be perfect," he said softly.Nl: "Iedereen kan struikelen.En: "Everyone can stumble.Nl: Dat maakt je niet zwak, maar menselijk."En: That doesn't make you weak, but human."Nl: Daarna kwam het moment van de waarheid tijdens een openbare vergadering van de leerlingenraad.En: Then came the moment of truth during a public meeting of the student council.Nl: Lisette voelde een plotseling verlangen om te delen wat haar dwarszat.En: Lisette felt a sudden urge to share what was bothering her.Nl: Ze stond op en sprak eerlijk over haar worstelingen.En: She stood up and spoke honestly about her struggles.Nl: "Ik wil dat jullie weten dat het soms zwaar is," biechtte ze op.En: "I want you all to know that sometimes it's tough," she confessed.Nl: De zaal viel stil.En: The room fell silent.Nl: Iedereen was verrast.En: Everyone was surprised.Nl: Bram greep de kans om te spreken.En: Bram seized the opportunity to speak.Nl: "Laten we elkaar steunen," moedigde hij aan, zijn stem vastberaden.En: "Let's support each other," he encouraged, his voice steady.Nl: "We zijn allemaal hier om te groeien en te leren."En: "We are all here to grow and learn."Nl: De sfeer veranderde.En: The atmosphere changed.Nl: Mensen knikten instemmend en een warme golf van begrip trok door de zaal.En: People nodded in agreement, and a warm wave of understanding swept through the room.Nl: Lisette glimlachte, dankbaar dat ze zichzelf had kunnen zijn.En: Lisette smiled, grateful that she could be herself.Nl: En Bram, die ooit zo onzeker was, straalde nu van zelfvertrouwen en verbond mensen met zijn woorden.En: And Bram, once so unsure of himself, now radiated confidence and connected people with his words.Nl: Aan het eind van de dag stonden Bram en Lisette op het zonovergoten plein.En: At the end of the day, Bram and Lisette stood in the sun-drenched courtyard.Nl: Beide wisten dat deze dag meer had gebracht dan ze hadden verwacht.En: Both knew that this day had brought more than they had expected.Nl: Lisette vond rust in haar eerlijkheid, en Bram kreeg nieuwe vrienden en respect.En: Lisette found peace in her honesty, and Bram gained new friends and respect.Nl: De school voelde niet alleen als een plek van leren, maar ook als een gemeenschap waar beiden hun plek vonden.En: The school felt not only like a place of learning but also like a community where both found their place.Nl: En zo begon het schooljaar met nieuwe inzichten en een sterker gevoel van saamhorigheid.En: And so the school year began with new insights and a stronger sense of togetherness.

In Episode 158 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we're kicking off Day 1 of the Six-Figure Summer Business School with some tough love and straight-up truth: if you're getting clients but still not hitting consistent $10K months… something's off. You're working your butt off, the clients are coming in—but that next-level income? Still out of reach. Let's talk about it.We're breaking down the two sneaky saboteurs that are holding your business back: weak branding and meh positioning. If your brand vibe feels like beige wallpaper or your offer is blending into the crowd, this is your wake-up call.

This voicemail had me fully sweating. A teacher casually drops that a full SWAT team showed up at her school… and the kicker? It wasn't even a drill. We're talking lockdowns, military gear, weapons drawn, and a group of students who were just trying to get to lunch. And the reason they showed up? Ohhhh, you are not ready. I spiral through the possibilities, ask all the wrong questions, and react in real-time to what is possibly the most over-the-top, under-explained escalation in school discipline history. If you've ever wondered what it feels like to go from supervising recess to being in the middle of a tactical operation, this one's for you. Takeaways: A voicemail about a SWAT team storming a school sends me into a full-body spiral, because the reason? Unhinged. Another caller shares what happened when a vending machine break-in led to a full-on student confession… and some unexpected admin energy. We talk about what happens when the punishment doesn't match the crime and whether schools are just winging it at this point. I try to get serious (briefly) about boundaries, blame, and how kids process consequences even when the adults aren't getting it right. And for anyone trying to survive this week intact, I drop a resource that might actually help you feel like a human again. — Join our Book Club: www.patreon.com/thosewhocanread Don't Be Shy Come Say Hi: www.podcasterandrea.com Watch on YouTube: @educatorandrea A Human Content Production Learn more about your ad choices.
