Higher food prices, economic instability, and other factors have made providing for a family even harder. 1 in 8 households in the U.S. is food insecure. That means these families don't have enough money or resources to buy enough food for everyone in their household. As recently as 2022, 7.3 million children lived in food insecure households. Also, 16.9% of children live in poverty.   SNAP Benefits More than 22 million U.S. households use SNAP benefits to help with food costs, as of April 2023. Sometimes known as “food stamps,” SNAP is the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. People who receive SNAP benefits can use it to buy groceries, seeds, and plants for food. SNAP cannot be used to purchase hot food or household items like cleaning supplies, vitamins, or diapers.   CONNECT WITH Cedric Francis Website: https://www.lead2greatness.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/cedricbfrancis X (twitter): https://twitter.com/cedricbfrancis Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/leadtogreatness/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cedric-b-francis-a0544037/

Let's meet Dr. Laura Gallaher, and learn together where we could possibly take our personal and work environments to new heights. Welcome Dr. Gallaher. Thank you for joining me today. Are you in Orlando now? I know that you have deep roots in the Phoenix area (and lots of places around the world).  INTRO Q: Dr. Gallaher, before asking you questions about your book, and your work, I have to say that there was something that drew me to you, before even looking at your bio. When you first meet someone, I think that what goes on inside us, (our mindset) shows on the outside, and I felt like you had a story to tell of where you began. When did you first learn about the importance of radical self acceptance, and how do you think that we can all use this skill in our personal and professional life? Q1: While coming up for some questions for you, I watched your TED TALK “How to Feel at Home Anywhere”[ii] where you talk about the ability to discover your inner confidence, and your ability to cope with the world (so that literally any place in the world) can feel like home. What drew you to create this TED TALK? Q2: It's interesting to me that your topic was “How to Feel at Home Anywhere” because I've thought about this concept often. While I've not worked and travelled to the places and countries that you have (other than via Google Maps) I have noticed that I've always been comfortable walking into a gym. Now I stopped going to a gym around the time of the pandemic, but I can recall always feeling a sense of belonging, and just the place that would fill me up with those feel-good vibes, when I was on the road, and would walk into a gym. Can you share what's important for us, as human beings, or the recipe that you've discovered, to feel comfortable…and make ANY place feel like home? Q3: Can we go to the questions that I think can open the door and help all of us, whether we are an employee in a company, a part of a bigger whole, or a teacher in a school, or a member of a team, how can we take this concept of radical self-acceptance to take us to new heights? Q4: We've been focused on taking our results to higher levels on this podcast. How important is what we think on the inside (our mindset with radical self-acceptance) to our results (on the outside)? Q5: Why are you so passionate about radical self-acceptance? How did NASA help you to uncover the gaps of where you were (actually) and where you wanted to go? Q6: What is psychological safety and how does it relate to how safe people feel to be vulnerable? Q7: Have you ever had a 360 Evaluation at work? How about asking your children how you are showing up as a parent? What can you learn from honest feedback from others? Q8: Dr. Gallaher helps Andrea to dig deeper into feedback that her children gave her. “What bugs me about you, is really about me.”[iii] Q9: How can we take radical self-acceptance into the workplace? Q10: Would you say the most critical leadership traits today would be vulnerability and courage? Q11: What are some stress reduction secrets you can share with us? Q12: How do we put this all together to become more self-aware? Dr. Gallaher, I want to thank you for your time meeting with me today. For people who would like to connect with you, I will put your contact information in the show notes. Do you have any final or closing thoughts? Take the Self-Acceptance Quiz Here  https://www.gallaheredge.com/sa-quiz-lp Andrea received the Pushing but Pressured quadrant that shows high on self-improvement, (which she would agree with) but low on self-acceptance (where she is right now) and she would agree this area could use some work.   Take the Self-Acceptance Quiz to see what quadrant you end up in, and see what you can learn about yourself.

In early 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated as it re-entered the earth's atmosphere. All seven astronauts on board were killed. This was not the first NASA mission to end in disaster, and it inspired Harvard Business School professor Amy Edmondson to write a business case about what went wrong. Edmondson studies psychological safety and organizational learning. Her most recent book is Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well. In this episode, she breaks down the organizational challenges within NASA that contributed to the Columbia tragedy, offering a window into the organization's leadership. Edmondson also shares lessons for all leaders about the dangers of unyielding hierarchy and of failing to listen to dissenting voices. Key episode topics include: leadership, managing people, organizational culture, operations and supply chain management, NASA, hierarchy, science.

Am 16. Januar 2003 startet das Space Shuttle Columbia mit einer erfahrenen, siebenköpfigen Crew für seine 28. Mission von Florida aus ins All. Was die Crew in dem Moment nicht weiß, und die NASA am Boden verdrängt: Das Schicksal des Shuttles und seiner Crew ist bereits wenige Minuten nach dem Start besiegelt, als ein kleines Schaumstoffteil die Unterseite des Gleiters beschädigt. Doch dieser Aufprall genügt, um das Shuttle zwei Wochen später beim Wiedereintritt in die Atmosphäre am Himmel verglühen zu lassen – die Crew hat keine Überlebenschance. 17 Jahre und 87 Space-Shuttle-Flüge liegen zwischen den katastrophalen Unfällen der Challenger und der Columbia. Doch die Untersuchungskommission der Columbia-Katastrophe fällt ein vernichtendes Urteil in ihrem Abschlussbericht: Die NASA hat darin versagt, aus den Fehlern der Challenger-Katastrophe zu lernen – und hat die gleichen Fehler wieder gemacht.

Welcome to Astronomy Daily, the podcast where we explore the latest news and discoveries in the world of space and astronomy. I'm your host, Anna, and I'm excited to guide you through some fascinating updates today. From groundbreaking missions and scientific revelations to the latest in aerospace engineering, we have a packed episode that is sure to spark your curiosity about the cosmos. So sit back, relax, and let's embark on this incredible journey through the universe together.- NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory: 25th Anniversary: NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Launched aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999, Chandra has provided invaluable insights into black holes, dark matter, and more. Despite initial budget constraints, Chandra has exceeded expectations, thanks to innovative engineering and the dedication of its team. This observatory has opened new windows in astrophysics, offering data on galaxy formation, supermassive black holes, and gravitational wave events. As we celebrate Chandra's silver anniversary, we also honor the engineers and scientists who have ensured its long-term success.- 10th International Conference on Mars: At the recent 10th International Conference on Mars, experts highlighted ten significant milestones that have shaped our understanding of the red planet. From the international science fleet currently operating on Mars to groundbreaking discoveries by rovers like Curiosity and InSight, these milestones include detecting methane surges, uncovering ancient lake formations, and capturing seismic activity. Each discovery builds a richer narrative of Mars' past and brings us closer to future human exploration.- SpaceX's Starlink Collision Avoidance Maneuvers: SpaceX's Starlink satellites have performed nearly 50,000 collision avoidance maneuvers in the last six months, about double the previous period. This showcases SpaceX's commitment to space safety, but also highlights the growing complexity of managing such a vast constellation. With over 6,200 operational units and increasing solar activity, the frequency of these maneuvers is expected to rise, presenting a significant challenge for future space traffic management.- UK Space Agency's Lunar Water Extraction Initiative: The UK Space Agency has awarded £30,000 in funding to ten innovative teams to extract and purify water from lunar ice. Among the captivating projects is one by Nacre Scientific Limited, which plans to use a modified microwave oven to melt dirty lunar ice. Other solutions include using solar rays, supercritical water, and UV light to purify water. These technologies not only aim to support lunar bases but also have potential applications on Earth, revolutionizing water resource management in remote or war-torn areas.Don't forget to visit our website at astronomydaily.io where you can sign up for our free daily newsletter, catch up on all the latest space and astronomy news with our constantly updating news feed, and listen to all our back episodes.

My next guest has endured sexual assault, bullying, and retaliation in and out of the military.  She now shares her story to help others heal and make systemic change. I often observe people who have endured incredible hardships and become beacons of change. They seem gifted with a superpower to go against the tide, shining light in the darkest parts of society, places most prefer to stay hidden. Her story is one of many overarching themes—how powerful people silence others, how she fights against the system for what she believes is just, and how she sets an example for others and her children. Master Sergeant Crystal C. Romero retired after serving 16 1⁄2 years in the US Army National Guard, serving full-time Active-Duty Operational Support primarily in her home state of New Mexico. Today, she is an activist for veterans' causes and has had a significant role in passing legislation related to military sexual assault and veterans' mental health.  Crystal obtained four Military Occupational Specialties (MOS), held various positions, and successfully ran many programs, such as the DoD Innovative Readiness Training Program, throughout her military career, beginning in logistics and later transferring to a Public Affairs Detachment. She then transitioned to the 64th Weapons of Mass Destruction-Civil Support Team as a Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) Specialist. There, she helped run operations and was activated for the Space Shuttle Columbia recovery efforts in 2003 and Hurricane Katrina, Rita, and Ike. Concurrently, she served with the New Mexico Counter Narcotics Task Force, serving as the Finance and Executive Assistant to the commander. In her final years in the military, she was a Senior Human Resources Specialist, Platoon Sergeant, Sexual Assault Victim Advocate, member of the Safety Council, National Guard Bureau Counterdrug Program Evaluation team member, and the Joint Substance Abuse Program Coordinator for the State of New Mexico where she ran the drug testing program for all National Guard service members.  After her honorable discharge in 2014, Crystal struggled to adjust to civilian life and found herself battling depression and PTSD. That struggle prompted her to volunteer to help other veterans, presumably worse off than her. This was her path to redemption and how she plans to make her mark in the veteran community through advocacy. SheVisit my website: https://thehello.llc/THERESACARPENTERRead my writings on my blog: https://www.theresatapestries.com/Listen to other episodes on my podcast: https://storiesofservice.buzzsprout.comWatch episodes of my podcast:https://www.youtube.com/c/TheresaCarpenter76

Do you remember Spacelab? Or perhaps the question should be, what do you recall about Spacelab? In case you're a little foggy on this one, here's a little history: during the development of the Space Shuttle in the 1970's, NASA recognized the need for a facility to allow scientists to conduct experiments on the Shuttle while in orbit. So under a cooperative agreement with NASA, the European Space Agency built a modular research laboratory that would fit inside the Shuttle's cargo bay. And what is so unique is not only our collaboration with the European Space Agency, but how Spacelab was built by a consortium of 10 European companies. And on December 5th, both President Ronald Reagan and West German Chancellor Helmut Kohl had a fascinating conversation with the crewmembers of the Space Shuttle Columbia from space and from the President's Oval Office. In the second half of this podcast, we'll hear the crewmembers explain in detail their objectives. It's a little out of this world, I know, but a refreshing reminder of space exploration in the 70's.

George Noory and former NASA astronaut Mike Massimino discuss lessons he learned about perseverance that allowed him to finally realize his dream of becoming an astronaut, his reaction to the Space Shuttle Columbia explosion, and his memories of Neil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the Moon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

fWotD Episode 2398: Ulf Merbold Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Tuesday, 28 November 2023 is Ulf Merbold.Ulf Dietrich Merbold (born June 20, 1941) is a German physicist and astronaut who flew to space three times, becoming the first West German citizen in space and the first non-American to fly on a NASA spacecraft. Merbold flew on two Space Shuttle missions and on a Russian mission to the space station Mir, spending a total of 49 days in space.Merbold's father was imprisoned in NKVD special camp Nr. 2 by the Red Army in 1945 and died there in 1948, and Merbold was brought up in the town of Greiz in East Germany by his mother and grandparents. As he was not allowed to attend university in East Germany, he left for West Berlin in 1960, planning to study physics there. After the Berlin Wall was built in 1961, he moved to Stuttgart, West Germany. In 1968, he graduated from the University of Stuttgart with a diploma in physics, and in 1976 he gained a doctorate with a dissertation about the effect of radiation on iron. He then joined the staff at the Max Planck Institute for Metals Research. In 1977, Merbold successfully applied to the European Space Agency (ESA) to become one of their first astronauts. He started astronaut training with NASA in 1978. In 1983, Merbold flew to space for the first time as a payload specialist or science astronaut on the first Spacelab mission, STS-9, aboard the Space Shuttle Columbia. He performed experiments in materials science and on the effects of microgravity on humans. In 1989, Merbold was selected as payload specialist for the International Microgravity Laboratory-1 (IML-1) Spacelab mission STS-42, which launched in January 1992 on the Space Shuttle Discovery. Again, he mainly performed experiments in life sciences and materials science in microgravity. After ESA decided to cooperate with Russia, Merbold was chosen as one of the astronauts for the joint ESA–Russian Euromir missions and received training at the Russian Yuri Gagarin Cosmonaut Training Center. He flew to space for the third and last time in October 1994, spending a month working on experiments on the Mir space station.Between his space flights, Merbold provided ground-based support for other ESA missions. For the German Spacelab mission Spacelab D-1, he served as backup astronaut and as crew interface coordinator. For the second German Spacelab mission D-2 in 1993, Merbold served as science coordinator. Merbold's responsibilities for ESA included work at the European Space Research and Technology Centre on the Columbus program and service as head of the German Aerospace Center's astronaut office. He continued working for ESA until his retirement in 2004.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:09 UTC on Tuesday, 28 November 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Ulf Merbold on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Aditi Standard.

The Space Shuttle Columbia disintegrated February 1, 2003, as it reentered the earth's atmosphere over Texas and Louisiana, with all seven astronauts on board losing their lives. Those at NASA instantly recognized that employees needed to implement major transformations to their safety regulations to prevent future disasters. The Columbia space shuttle was the second mission to end in tragedy, after 1986 Challenger incident.There were huge, fundamental safety culture changes that happened under the leadership of Ralph Roe Jr., who started at the agency as a test engineer, transitioning over the years to NASA's top engineering post.Roe played a pivotal role at NASA during a four-decade career in dramatically restructuring the organization's safety culture, ensuring the successful exploration of our universe.

Foundations of Amateur Radio There is a fascination with space that arguably started long before the first time that human spaceflight was proposed by Scottish astronomer William Leitch in 1861. Names like Sputnik, Mercury, Gemini, Apollo and Columbia speak to millions of people and organisations like NASA, SpaceX and Blue Origin, to name a few, continue to feed that obsession. In amateur radio we have our own names, things like ARISS, or Amateur Radio on the International Space Station, or its predecessor SAREX, the Shuttle Amateur Radio Experiment. Today, stories about people making contact with the International Space Station continue to make news. We have school programs where amateur radio ground stations schedule a call to speak with an astronaut in space and we've been launching our own amateur satellites for a long time. Launched on the 12th of December 1961, OSCAR1, or Orbiting Satellites Carrying Amateur Radio was built by a group of California based amateur radio operators for 63 dollars. It operated for nearly 20 days, transmitting "Hi" in Morse on 144.983 MHz. The first amateur radio space voice contact was made on the 1st of December 1983, almost forty years ago. It's surprising that in the age of technology such a significant event has been so poorly recorded for posterity. If you go searching for the actual audio, you'll discover several versions of this contact including varying transcripts. I've attempted to reconstruct the wording, but I've yet to hear a complete and unedited version. For example, there's an ARRL movie called "Amateur Radio's Newest Frontier" with out of sync audio. There's also an audio file with a transcript from an archived copy of a website by W7APD. The most recent one is on a video called "HAM - Official Documentary 2022", produced by students from the School of Visual and Media Arts program at the University of Montana and broadcast on Montana PBS on November 24th, 2022. So, what follows is not necessarily complete, but calling from Space Shuttle Columbia it went a little like this: "..U.S. west coast and calling CQ. Calling CQ North America. This is W5LFL in Columbia. In another 30 seconds I'll be standing by. Our spacecraft is in a rotation at the moment and we're just now getting the antenna pointed down somewhat more toward the Earth. So I should be able to pick up your signals a little bit better in the next few minutes. So W5LFL in Columbia is calling CQ and standing by. Go ahead." "This is W5LFL in Colombia, W5LFL in Columbia, orbiting the Earth at an altitude of 135 Nautical Miles. Passing over the US West Coast and calling CQ. So W5LFL in Columbia is calling CQ and, ah, standing by. Go ahead." "W5LFL on STS-9, WA1JXN, WA1 Japan X-Ray Norway, WA1JXN, Frenchtown Montana, WA1JXN standing by." "Hello W1JXN, WA1 Juliet X-Ray November, this is W5LFL, I picked up your signals fairly weakly. I think our attitude is not really the best as yet, but you're our first contact from orbit. WA1 Juliet X-Ray November. How do you read? Over." On board STS-9, Space Shuttle Columbia, was Dr Owen Garriott, W5LFL, now silent key. On the ground was Lance Collister, then WA1JXN, now W7GJ. NASA published an Educational Brief for the Classroom that described Owen's set-up as a battery powered 5 Watt FM transceiver feeding a split-ring on a printed circuit board antenna that will be placed in the upper crew compartment window on the aft flight deck. Others reported that the radio was a Motorola handheld. Logging was done with a tape recorder velcroed to the transceiver. Owen describes the antenna as a "well-designed, hand-held antenna, known as a 'cavity antenna', which could be velcroed to the window. It was about 24 inches in diameter and looked somewhat like a large aluminum (sic) cake pan" There's an edited version of a similarly titled ARRL video called "Amateur Radio's Newest Frontier - ARRL documentary featuring Owen Garriot, W5LFL, on STS-9" showing the antenna as a copper tube, bent into a circle, mounted inside an open aluminium box that was hinged on the window to face outwards. The NASA brief also described a range of frequencies and designated 145.55 MHz as the primary frequency over the United States. It included a whole section about synchronising clocks using WWV in Fort Collins, Colorado, odd and even minute transmission schedules and descriptions on how this should work. Operating during time off, when the antenna was facing Earth, and being on air for about four hours during the mission, around 300 contacts were made across the globe. Today we continue to experiment in space. The callsign N1SS is heard on-air regularly from the International Space Station, astronauts are often licensed radio amateurs, there's a permanent repeater on the ISS, we launch research spacecraft called nano-satellites or more popularly CubeSats for amateur radio at every opportunity. So far there's over 160 satellites and the adventure continues. Speaking of experiments, albeit earthbound, the other day, my WSPR or Weak Signal Propagation Reporter beacon, using 10 milliwatts was heard 13,455 km away in Sweden, that's 1.3 Million kilometres per Watt.

Why ask “What is a leader?” There are plenty of books, articles and speakers expounding principles of leadership so it seems that answer should be readily available. However, leadership is an attribute that's in dire need for many organizations, businesses, relationships and lives. An article from Inc.com listed five qualities of someone with bad leadership skills. These include narcissistic tendencies, lack of recognition for good work, treating people like numbers, too much control and lack of communication. Here, I'd like to approach some mindsets necessary for good leadership. I feel this is important because good leadership in an organization starts with vibrant and healthy self-leadership. Leadership is not merely asserting a strong personality, will or ultimatum, though a result of leadership may include any of those attributes from time to time. A leader is able to guide and influence toward a common goal or objective. They provide direction, inspiration and motivation. Some qualities that apply to both leading others as well as self-leadership are covered here. Full article here: https://goalsforyourlife.com/what-is-a-leader/

In this episode of the Elevate Your Leadership podcast, NASA Astronaut Susan Kilrain and I discuss her life and career. Commander Susan Kilrain is a renowned astronaut, a distinguished navy test pilot and aerospace engineer, and a world traveler. She is the youngest person, and one of only three women, to pilot the space shuttle. She served twenty years in the navy paving the way for women. She has flown more than 3,000 flight hours in over 30 different aircraft, and she was awarded the Defense Superior Service Medal. CDR Kilrain flew as pilot of STS-83 and STS-94, both in 1997, onboard the Space Shuttle Columbia, which disintegrated as it reentered the atmosphere over Texas and Louisiana, on February 1st, 2003, killing all seven astronauts on board. She has spent more than 20 days in space. Prior to joining the Navy, Susan was a wind tunnel project officer at Lockheed Corporation and earned her master's degree in aerospace engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Susan and her husband, retired SEAL Vice Admiral Colin Kilrain are raising their four children in Virginia. She is a consultant and motivational speaker, specializing in encouraging young women and underprivileged teens to excel in STEM careers. She has been a board member for private companies, universities, and non-profits, and is currently a Venture Partner with New North Ventures. Learn more about your ad choices.

(Looking for our Season 6 launch date? Check the end of our episode for the launch date!) This week marks the 20th anniversary of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster (February 1, 2003). We remember that day with this special encore episode of our story with Evelyn Husband Thompson. Evelyn's husband, Rick was selected by NASA to be an astronaut in 1994 and was the Commander of the Space Shuttle Columbia in 2003. While Evelyn knew that her husband always faced dangers inherent with being an astronaut, she was eventually confronted with a moment where she would have to trust the Lord, no matter what.

On February 1st 2003, the crew of the STS107 mission were returning home from space on the Space Shuttle Columbia when tragedy struck. It's hard to believe it's been 20 years. To mark this, we talk to Jonathan Ward, co-author of the brilliant book “Bringing Columbia Home” - the inside story of the disaster and the recovery and how the darkest hours can bring the best out of people.

Heroes of Space. Part I I have always had a fascination with heroic figures. In the modern world, it's difficult to think of a task requiring more courage and skill than flying as a test pilot -- unless of course you decide to go into space. Jim Wetherbee is one man who did both. A decorated Navy veteran, NASA pilot and commander, he later brought his skills to the private sector. It was here that he realized his experience could provide valuable lessons not just to businesses but to private citizens conducting mundane every day tasks. His book: Controlling Risk in a Dangerous World, provides not just incredible anecdotes from his extraordinary career. It also provides valuable guidance that each of us can apply to our every day lives. In this episode I have the honor to talk to the real-life spaceman who lived every kid's dream. I highly recommend Jim's book "Controlling Risk in a Dangerous World" which you can find on his official website: Jim Wetherbee as well as retailers including Amazon.

In this powerful Episode, John R. Miles interviews former Astronaut Wendy Lawrence on why it is vital to permit yourself to dream the dream and how she followed that advice throughout her own career.  What Does Dreaming the Dream Mean? To dream the dream is to live life to its fullest, making the best of every situation and transforming our life into who we aspire to be. It's the state of becoming passion-struck in the pursuit of your dream with a focus on achieving it regardless of the setbacks or roadblocks that may emerge over time. Wendy discusses her deliberate path to permitting herself to live her dream, which was taking the actions that would allow her to become an astronaut. You will be surprised by her answer to the question, what is the most dangerous thing you have ever done? The experience of blasting off in the space shuttle, her fondest memories from her time with the space program, her advice for those wishing to pursue a career as an astronaut, and so much more.
