What if the difference between a higher cheer score and leaving points on the table isn't adding more difficulty but understanding what the judges are actually looking for? Building a competitive routine isn't as simple as putting your hardest skills on the floor. From tumbling numbers and stunt connections to formations, legalities, and execution, small decisions can have a major impact on your final score. In this episode, Jason and Gina break down the strategy behind maximizing the score sheet, including when adding more athletes helps, when it can actually hurt execution, and why coaches need to think beyond simply doing “more.” In this episode, you'll learn: How to balance difficulty and execution when deciding how many athletes should perform a skill. Why submitting stunt legalities can protect your score—and potentially save your season. What judges actually notice when evaluating tumbling, formations, transitions, and overall routine execution. Play the episode to learn how to make smarter routine decisions, protect valuable points, and build a cleaner, more competitive performance before your team hits the competition floor.

On today's episode of Back Porch Theology, Lisa and Allison are joined by New Testament scholar and Anglican priest Dr. Michael Bird for a lively dive into the book of Acts. Together, they explore the inseparable connection between Luke and Acts, the significance of Jesus' ascension, and the Holy Spirit's powerful work through ordinary believers as the early church quite literally turned the world upside down. So pull up a chair and join us on the porch! SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Acts 20:7-12 Acts 1:8-10 Genesis 1 Psalm 8 Daniel 7 Acts 2:41-45 Acts 17 Acts 13 Acts 2:17-21 Acts 5:40-41 Acts 8:26-40

Jim Hill and Eric Hersey trace the unlikely journey of Stranger Things from the Duffer Brothers' rejected pitch to one of Netflix's defining franchises - and a recurring Halloween Horror Nights favorite. They revisit how Universal translated Hawkins and the Upside Down into elaborate haunted houses, why the creative partnership worked so well, and how those early attractions helped prove that fans wanted to physically step inside Netflix's worlds. Then Jim and Eric bring the story up to the present with Netflix House in Philadelphia and the latest Stranger Things experience headed to Halloween Horror Nights 35. FEATURE • How Matt and Ross Duffer turned their original Montauk concept into Stranger Things after a string of network rejections. • Why the show's mix of Stephen King, Steven Spielberg, John Carpenter, 1980s nostalgia, and breakout young performers became a cultural phenomenon. • How Stranger Things first came to Halloween Horror Nights in 2018, with the Duffer Brothers giving Universal extensive creative access. • The painstaking work behind recreating Hawkins, the Byers house, the Upside Down, and the Demogorgon for Universal Orlando and Hollywood. • Why the 2019 and 2023 Stranger Things houses evolved differently on each coast rather than becoming simple clones. • Jim and Eric's visit to Netflix House at King of Prussia and its immersive Stranger Things experience. • How Netflix expanded Stranger Things into touring experiences, live theater, permanent attractions, and other extensions beyond the streaming series. • What Halloween Horror Nights 35 could represent as one of the final major theme park celebrations of Hawkins and its characters.

Have you ever wondered why your athlete has a skill but their coaches choose not to put it in the routine? As a cheer parent, it can be frustrating to watch your athlete work hard to master a skill only to see them moved to the back, left out of a section, or given fewer opportunities to showcase what they can do. But routine decisions aren't always about who can perform a skill, they're about what gives the entire team the best opportunity to score well. In this episode, Jason and Gina pull back the curtain on how cheer routines are actually built. They talk about the relationship between coaches and choreographers, why coaches sometimes have to remove emotion from routine decisions, and why adding more athletes to a skill section can actually create more opportunities for deductions instead of increasing your score. In this episode, you'll learn: Why adding more athletes to a skill section doesn't necessarily earn your team more points and can potentially hurt the team's technique score. How coaches and choreographers decide which athletes to highlight, where athletes are placed, and why what's best for an individual athlete can sometimes conflict with what's best for the team. Why parents shouldn't judge a new routine too quickly and how choreography continues to evolve, change, and improve throughout the competition season. Press play to get an inside look at the decisions behind your athlete's cheer routine so you can better understand why having a skill doesn't always mean performing it on the competition floor.

Send us Fan MailScott and Michelle continue their journey through Halloween Horror Nights history with a deep dive into Halloween Horror Nights 27, the 2017 event that delivered an incredible mixture of blockbuster horror properties, original concepts, and one of the strangest event mascots in HHN history.HHN 27 ran from September 15 through November 4, 2017, featuring nine haunted houses, five official scare zones, and two live shows. At the center of the event was Bone, the mysterious skeletal character associated with Festival of the Deadliest, a scare zone celebrating some of the deadliest creatures and killers imaginable. Bone became one of those HHN characters that fans couldn't help but remember.But the houses were where 2017 really made its mark.The guys break down the arrival of Stranger Things, which transported guests into Hawkins and the Upside Down, as well as The Shining, bringing the terrifying Overlook Hotel and Jack Torrance to life.They also revisit Ash vs Evil Dead, the return of American Horror Story with Asylum, Coven, and Roanoke, The Horrors of Blumhouse, and another chapter of The Walking Dead. The 2017 American Horror Story house specifically combined three seasons of the series into one experience. The original houses get plenty of attention as well, including Scarecrow: The Reaping, Dead Waters, and The Hive, while the streets offered memorable experiences such as Trick 'r Treat, The Purge, Invasion!, Chainsaw Clown Horde, and Festival of the Deadliest. The episode also looks at the impact of Hurricane Irma, which hit Florida just before the event and affected the preparation and opening presentation of several scare zones. Scott and Michelle break down the houses, zones, shows, characters, atmosphere, and overall legacy of HHN 27, while asking whether 2017 deserves to be remembered as one of the more underrated years of the 2010s.It's time to open the Time Capsule and head back to 2017.Make your rooms, cars and life smell like your favorite Theme Park and save 15% by using code THNETWORK and  clicking here:https://magiccandlecompany.com?sca_ref=8499280.CVzaCEZ7KoGhost Executioners Merchandise!https://www.teepublic.com/user/thehorrificnetwork?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=horrificnetworkFollow All Things Horrific Network Herehttps://linktr.ee/thehorrificnetworkGet Your Sinister Creature Con Tickets Herehttps://www.sinistercreaturecon.com/thecon

Highland Christian Church - Asheville, NCCommunicator - Tim BryantLuke 6:20-23 - "Jesus turned to his disciples and said, WHAT A BLESSING..." In Jesus' Kingdom, the overlooked ones are the ones who are fulfilled… not based on what we have, but how we see our need. 

SUMMARY When Jeff's sister lost her engagement ring in a five acre pasture hours before her wedding rehearsal, a rope, a grid, and a prayer turned an impossible search into a three minute miracle. In part four of the DadAwesome Multipliers series, that story becomes a blueprint for intentional fatherhood built on three things: a system that works, partners in the search, and faith in what you cannot yet see. Chad Johnson joins with a segment unpacking his Giant Five framework and why putting career first costs a man everything that matters. KEY TAKEAWAYS Intentional dads need a system. Without one, you chase whatever is loudest instead of the people you love most. The Giant Five framework orders your priorities: faith, marriage, children, health, and work. Most men have that list upside down. You were never meant to search alone. Partners spot what you miss and call you higher when you drift. Love sometimes looks like challenge instead of comfort, especially when your kids are settling into ease. You don't have to search the whole field today. Move the rope a few feet and walk the line again. QUOTES "I really am okay with stirring the pot." (Chad Johnson) "Live like a movie you'd want to watch with your children and grandchildren." (Chad Johnson) "I call it turning success upside down." (Chad Johnson) "Any fruit that anybody ever sees in my life is in spite of me." (Chad Johnson) "Don't get overwhelmed with the entire field. One pass at a time." (Jeff Zaugg) ABOUT CHAD JOHNSON Chad Johnson is a father of eleven, an entrepreneur, and the creator of the Giant Five framework, a simple system for keeping faith, marriage, children, health, and calling in their right order. He is known for pushing his family toward character over comfort, including relocating them to Los Angeles for five months so his kids could work in his business facility. Chad previously joined DadAwesome for episodes 216 and 217. ACTION STEPS REFLECTION Map your fields. Get a piece of paper and map your current life as a dad. Where does connection feel distant? Is there a child where things feel cold? Where could you raise your game in pursuing your wife or your time with God? Be honest about the gap. Name what you are hoping for in each area. Without naming the hope, you cannot see the distance between where you are and where you want to be. Run the Giant Five. Faith, marriage, children, health, work. Pray through which one is currently getting your leftovers. For many men it is work that needs to be turned upside down. For others it is the opposite, and career needs more drive because provision is the real need. Celebrate one win. Look back and name one victory. Do not skip this part. MULTIPLICATION Name your partners. Who are the other dads in this adventure with you? Is there a rhythm of meeting? Is there a text thread already going? The field search never would have worked alone. Get the free small group curriculum. Send a voice message with your name, where you are located, and your idea for a fall small group. You will get the three page PDF back. Send a few texts. Invite two or three dads to listen to episode 446 so you are all working from the same framework. Use the side door. Extend a tangible invitation: the Spartan race in Dallas on October 17, or the fall 100 mile running challenge. ACTIVATION Block the time. Put a block on your calendar this week for deeper work on the Giant Five. Do not just listen and move on. Open Luke 15:3 through 7 with your family. Read the parable of the shepherd who leaves the 99, then tell your kids directly: this is how I feel about you. I will always come looking for you. Pause and pray first. Before stepping into any of these areas, stop and pray, the same way Jeff and his sister did before they started the search. Move the rope. Ask God for one area where you can move the rope seven or eight feet tomorrow. One pass at a time. Keep celebrating. Look at what God has done and mark it. Go deeper.

Welcome back to another shot-out-of-a-cannon episode of The Rizzuto Show! It's Wednesday, everybody's burning the midnight oil, and the crew is diving deep into what it actually takes to survive the morning grind.First up, we unpack the ultimate nighttime sleep routine. From Lern getting into bed strictly at 8:30 PM to Moon laying upside down with his legs up the wall like a red-lens-wearing alien, everyone has a bizarre trick for catching Zs. We go around the room comparing bedroom thermostat temperatures—settling the eternal debate between freezing 66° Arctic expeditions and crazy 78° hot boxes—and reveal America's scientifically proven ideal room temp. Plus, King Scott drops a bomb about his silk hair bonnet routine!Next, in honor of National Underwear Day, we rundown the top 7 underwear brands in America, call out cheap multi-pack basics, and debate whether self-cleaning, odor-free shirts made of volcanic ash and gold are revolutionary or gross. Things get weird fast when the gang breaks down why sticking Q-tips in your ears feels like an out-of-body astral experience, despite every ear doctor begging you to stop.We also reflect on things that were taboo 10 years ago that are totally normal now—like location sharing, canceling plans as self-care, talking about mental health, and the rapid rise of AI. Finally, with King Scott preparing for fatherhood, Moon brings out the official Social Security Administration data to review 50 of the absolute strangest baby names given to infants last year.

BEST OF: In this episode of The Secret Teachings, Ryan Gable explores the eerie web of "Stranger Synchs" alongside guest Derek Murphy. Moving beyond the surface of popular fiction, the program dives into the mythology and conspiracies embedded within Stranger Things, questioning if the television show itself acts as a literal gate. We examine the chilling possibility that each viewer serves as a vessel, facilitating the entry of "shadow monsters" into our physical reality through mass synchronization and subconscious resonance.The conversation bridges the gap between the show's motifs—such as gorgons, high-voltage electricity, and the Department of Energy—and the staggering energy requirements of modern Artificial Intelligence. Ryan and Derek further investigate the unsettling parallel between the evolution of Large Language Models and the cosmic horror of H.P. Lovecraft, asking why our most advanced technologies consistently mirror the dark, extradimensional archetypes of the "Upside Down."*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Upside Down | Parable of the Two Sons by Collective Church

Rev. Ryan Maxted

For every dollar the world invests in protecting nature, it spends thirty dollars destroying it. In this episode of the Climate Correction Podcast, host Shannon Maganiezin sits down with two of the authors behind the United Nations Environment Programme's (UNEP) State of Finance for Nature 2026 report to unpack what that staggering imbalance means for biodiversity, climate resilience, economic stability, and the future of finance itself. The numbers are sobering: in 2023 alone, roughly $7.3 trillion flowed into nature-negative activities, while just $220 billion supported nature-based solutions.  Shannon is joined by Ivo Mulder, who leads UNEP's Climate Finance Unit and has helped unlock more than one billion dollars for sustainable agriculture, forestry, and restoration across developing countries. Ivo is one of the report creators. Ivo co-founded the Natural Capital Finance Alliance and the ENCORE tool, laying the groundwork for the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures. Also joining the conversation is Michael König-Sykorova, Senior Project Manager at the Frankfurt School of Finance and Management and a leading expert in climate and nature finance data. Michael contributed to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report and led key analytical components of the State of Finance for Nature 2026 report. He iwas lead author on this report and is also a founding member of the Climate Finance and Sustainability Centre at Makerere University in Uganda.  The conversation begins with Michael walking listeners through the scope and methodology of the report, including how the team defined and measured nature-negative finance across sectors, what qualifies as nature-based solutions finance, and how the two sides of the equation can be meaningfully compared. He shares what the data reveals about trends over time, whether progress is moving fast enough, and how the report's findings were validated through rigorous peer review.  Ivo then steps back from the numbers to explore what these findings signal about the trajectory of global finance. He examines whether nature-negative investments are starting to slow or still expanding, where the biggest synergies are emerging across the three Rio Conventions on climate, biodiversity, and land degradation, and what governments, public finance institutions, private investors, and financial institutions each need to take from this report. The discussion closes with a look at the financial instruments and emerging biodiversity finance mechanisms showing the most promise for scaling investment into nature-based solutions.  The takeaway is clear: the challenge isn't only how much we invest in protecting nature. It's where the rest of our money is going. Redirecting even a fraction of nature-negative flows could fundamentally reshape outcomes for climate, biodiversity, and global resilience.  Resources / Links:  UNEP – State of Finance for Nature 2026 (SFN 2026) and State of Finance for Nature 2023 (SFN 2023).  Interconnectivity between climate, nature & climate risk (including impacts on GDP)  IMF 2024 'Embedded in Nature'  SwissRe 2021 – The economics of climate change: No action not an option  Klusak et al, 2021 – Rising temperatures, falling ratings: the Effect of Climate Change on Sovereign Creditworthiness.

New Zealand and Scotland have a similar population size, but while our youth prison population hovers around 130 to 160, Scotland's is currently zero. It's an incredible feat given Glasgow was dubbed the murder capital of Europe by the WHO. It's all thanks to the country's Violence Reduction Unit, which flipped the script and targeted youth crime by treating it as a public health issue. As a result homicides, attempted murders and serious assaults plummeted and stayed low. Mihi Forbes asked the head of the unit, Jimmy Paul how they did it.

Upside Down | Parable of the Talents by Collective Church

Roger Hargreaves wrote a series of children's books that may sound familiar to your ears: Mr. Happy, Mr. Greedy, Mr. Messy and Mr. Topsy-Turvy. He wrote a series of books for girls, as well. They are stories designed to teach children about a world that is upside down. Mr. Topsy-Turvy does everything backwards and when he visits a town he causes chaos among the people, leaving the negative effects of his upside down ways to linger with the town's people, even after they threw him out. If one is comfortable and enjoys the injustice of a topsy-turvy world, one would go to great lengths to push away the new wine because they want the old. Only in an upside down world would avarice be sold as holy righteousness.

When the gospel came to Ephesus, it didn't just become one more religious option. It transformed lives, exposed idols, and even disrupted the city's economy. Join us this Sunday as we discover how the gospel doesn't just add something to our lives. It reorganizes everything.

Upside Down | Parable of the Persistent Widow by Collective Church

Sonja and Winter talk about the pregnancy and birth of little Benji, who was stillborn at 34 weeks. Sonja talks about how they were excited to welcome in their first son, and how her prior births had made them watch her more closely during this pregnancy. There weren't any major issues that they could see during the checkups, so they were completely blindsided when they got the news that Benji had no heartbeat.

More details are emerging after an American flag was displayed upside down at a Somali Independence Day event in Minnesota, sparking both outrage and apologies in a situation that has gone viral on social media in recent days.The St. Cloud Police Department confirmed to Fox News Digital that on July 3 at 5:29 p.m., the department received a call that the U.S. flag was being flown upside down on a city flagpole at the Lake George Park Pavilion during a Somali Independence Day event.A video from that event, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital, showed the flag upside down as event attendees, roughly 500 people at peak times, enjoyed the festivities. The department said the officer "corrected the flag without objection" and that organizers "indicated to City staff that the flag being flown upside down was not intentional."Police leader blasts ‘spineless' Mayor Frey, Minneapolis City Council for Somali gang problem, staffing woesJoe Gamaldi, the national vice president of the Fraternal Order of Police, joined Liz Collin on her podcast to talk about policing in Minneapolis.Somali gang problem captured on camera from the 4th of JulyThis past weekend marked yet another violent Fourth of July in Minneapolis. Dozens of car windows were smashed, there was a homicide, and several people were injured by gunfire—with some of it caught on camera.Despite the danger to the public, many local leaders seem unwilling to publicly acknowledge that there is a Somali gang problem in the city.Gamaldi, however, had a lot to say about policing and crime in Minneapolis.“I think Mayor [Jacob] Frey likes to talk tough with everyone, but I think we all know he is completely spineless,” Gamaldi said.“Because these gangs know that even if they are arrested, they're just gonna be let right back out over and over and over again,” he said.Gamaldi pointed out who is really getting harmed by all of this: “the law-abiding, hardworking members of the community.”“You know, it's funny because you'll see politicians who, I will remind you, sit their asses safely behind their desks and say we need to defund and dismantle the police department. But it's not them who has to deal with the consequences,” he added.Gamaldi explained how “defund the police” ideology shares much of the blame for the rise in violence.“When we went down this failed social experiment back in 2020 and 2021, you saw 16 American cities experience their highest murder rate in recorded history. Innocent civilians paid with their blood,” he said.Gamaldi spoke clearly about the hypocrisy of the “defund the police” movement: “You know who got it the worst? It was black males who averaged a homicide rate of 12 times that of any other race. Yet we still had these lunatics pushing defund the police.”“It is very clear that they are willing to put their failed ideology over the safety of their community members, and it's sickening,” he added.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
