GB2RS News Sunday the 9th of June 2024  The news headlines: TX Factor is marking its tenth anniversary by launching its 30th episode Changes to the four-year planning rule in England Bath Based Distance Learning's next Full licence course is starting soon TX Factor is marking its tenth anniversary by launching its 30th episode. It looks at how radio technology has advanced since Marconi conducted some of his early transmissions. The episode includes the first of a two-part feature on operating via the QO-100 geostationary satellite with a look at the hardware and software needed to achieve your first QSO at home or out mobile. Bob, G0FGX reviews the FTM-500D which is the latest mobile transceiver from Yaesu and demonstrates the many advanced features of this versatile FM and digital rig. There is a visit to Sidmouth Amateur Radio Society which secured a derelict former sports social club from the local council and turned it into a community hub and the club's new QTH. Watch this interesting episode and don't miss out on the TX Factor free-to-enter draw with a chance to win three RSGB publications. You can see this and previous episodes on txfactor.co.uk The four-year planning rule has offered a degree of protection for antennas and masts that have been erected without planning permission. Under this rule any installations which had been installed and unchanged for four years or more were protected against planning enforcement action. However, as of the 25th of April 2024, this rule ceased to exist in its current form in England under changes introduced under the Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023. The rule has been replaced by a more stringent ten-year period for the exemption from enforcement for residential dwellings. This change does not affect Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland where the four-year rule will continue to apply. Any installation that was substantially completed before the introduction of the Act will still be subject to the four-year rule meaning, for most radio amateurs, the ten-year rule will not apply until the 24th of April 2028. For more information on planning matters visit rsgb.org/planning Bath Based Distance Learning's next Full licence course runs from August to December, with exams in January. There is no charge for the training, but applicants must work through some pre-course material and complete a quiz to be eligible for a place. To request full details, and an application form, please email Bath Based Distance Learning's Team Leader, Steve, G0FUW via g0fuw@bbdl.org.uk A reminder that the RSGB is asking radio amateurs to share their ideas on the theme of ‘change and adapt', as part of plans for British Science Week 2025. The event is run by the British Science Association and celebrates science, technology, engineering and maths. The 2025 theme offers a huge range of opportunities for creativity and discovery. Ideas could cover any area from construction to propagation, from making QSOs under supervision to space and satellites. This is a chance to show young people in schools, or anyone in your local community, just how interesting and enjoyable amateur radio can be.

More information is available from the Worked All Britain website. Now the radio propagation report, compiled by G0KYA, G3YLA, and G4BAO on Thursday the 6th of June 2024 It seems that we haven't had a repeat performance of the auroral conditions caused by active sunspot region 3697. For Aurora watchers, that could be a disappointment, but for HF lovers it means the bands have been quite settled. The Kp index has been at 3 and below, while the solar flux index has been consistently above 175 all week. As a result, HF conditions have been quite good with maximum usable frequencies over a 3,000km path being regularly over 21MHz and often 24MHz. It is always a good idea to operate on the highest HF band that is open as absorption decreases the higher you go. Meanwhile, Sporadic-E propagation brought interest to the 10m band with stations from all over Europe being workable for long periods, but more of that in the VHF report. On the 5th of June, a filament located in the northeast quadrant erupted. The event flung a coronal mass ejection into space that doesn't appear to be Earth-directed. But this shows that we are still in the danger zone for major solar events, and anything could happen. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will remain around 175, but we expect some geomagnetic disruption today, the 9th of June, with a predicted Kp index of 4. Otherwise, solar conditions are predicted to be calm next week. So, if these conditions continue, this is a good time to make the most of the HF bands. And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The weather pattern for the coming week is dominated by low pressure, which means there is unlikely to be any significant Tropo to speak of.  There will probably be several opportunities for those on the GHz bands to search for rain scatter. However, these events look to be moving showers or rain bands, which means that you'll need to be pretty agile with the rotator to keep on the scattering target. With the solar conditions continuing to keep the pot simmering it's not impossible that the Kp index could rise high enough to promote an aurora, but it's a low probability. The early part of June is well regarded for minor meteor events and should be worth a look for those using meteor scatter modes. There were several Sporadic-E openings early in the week that finish today, the 9th. Sporadic-E was reported up to the 2m band on a few occasions. Last Sunday, the 2nd, lasted up to three hours on the path from Eastern England down to the Italian peninsula. Events initially get picked up on the 10m band and then move up through the VHF bands of 6m, 4m and finally 2m as the Sporadic-E propagation strengthens. In this peak of the Sporadic-E season, the openings on the lower bands, such as 10 and 6m, can be present for much of the day and certainly quite late into the evening. Follow the weather patterns on the daily Sporadic-E blog on propquest.co.uk and you should be able to point in the right direction for an opening. Multi-hop paths to the Far East or the Americas require a good antenna like a beam, but single-hop European Sporadic-E propagation can be very strong, and any antenna will do the job. Moon declination is at its maximum this weekend for the DUBUS 10 and 24GHz EME contest, but EME path loss is rising. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

GB2RS News Sunday the 2nd of June 2024  The news headlines: Nominations for IARU President and Vice President have been ratified The next RSGB Tonight@8 webinar is coming up RSGB National Radio Centre to operate D-Day anniversary special event stations   IARU member societies have ratified the nomination of Tim Ellam, VE6SH/G4HUA and Thomas Wrede, DF2OO as IARU President and Vice President, respectively, for a five-year term which began on the 9th of May 2024. On starting his 4th term as President, Tim Ellam thanked member societies for their support, congratulated Thomas Wrede on his election as Vice President, and also offered a special and heartfelt thank you to Ole Garpestad, LA2RR who retired as IARU Vice President. You can read more on this story via the IARU website at tinyurl.com/IARU2024 The RSGB Tonight@8 webinar this Monday, the 3rd of June, examines how amateur radio can be accessible and enjoyable even if you have sight, hearing or mobility difficulties. Three radio amateurs will explain how they have adapted their equipment, written software or used extra support from the RSGB or other radio amateurs, to enable them to enjoy all that amateur radio has to offer. There will also be input from Sight Matters, an Isle of Man charity helping to assist over 700 visually impaired members. The charity has recently discovered how much amateur radio can offer people with visual impairments and it has formed the Sight Matters Amateur Radio Club. This aims to encourage new people into the hobby and to help assist existing licence holders back onto the air. Whether this webinar is relevant to you, a friend or colleague, or you're in a club that is wondering how to support all radio amateurs to enjoy the hobby, make a note of the date and be inspired! You can watch and ask questions live on the RSGB special BATC channel or YouTube channel at youtube.com/theRSGB The RSGB's National Radio Centre will be operating a special event callsign GB2DAY to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings during World War Two. The station will be active between the 6th  and 9th of June. In addition, volunteers will be hosting the special demonstration station GB1SOE on Saturday the 15th of June. Don't forget that RSGB members can gain free entry to Bletchley Park and the RSGB's National Radio Centre by downloading a voucher from the RSGB website: rsgb.org/bpvoucher The RSGB Board recently spent an afternoon visiting RSGB Headquarters, meeting staff and gaining a more detailed understanding of the work of this professional team. Later that day, the Board received training from members of the senior team about their specialist areas. During the Board meeting the following day, the Board decided to continue with its chosen four strategic priorities until the 2025 AGM. These priorities are the growth of amateur radio; membership of the RSGB; spectrum and licensing; and ensuring the continued financial stability of the Society. To make further progress with the outcomes of the recent growth workshop, the Board allocated a member of its team to champion each of the seven workstreams. Each workstream champion will now create a volunteer team, prioritise work tasks, set measurable objectives, define what success looks like, list deliverables and establish reporting mechanisms and frequency. More details will be shared about these over the coming months. Do you have some spare time to support fellow radio amateurs? Are you passionate about the future of amateur radio? Do you like a challenge? The RSGB currently has volunteer vacancies for Regional Representatives in Region 7 South Wales, and Region 12 England East and East Anglia.

But is that all about to change? Active region 3664 has returned. It is now named 3697 and has already emitted an X1.4-class solar flare. You may recall that it was AR 3664 that caused the aurora that was visible all over the UK around the 10th and 11th of May. As Solarham.com says, “The chances for an Earth-directed eruption will increase with each passing day as the active sunspot region turns into a better geoeffective position.” Scientists now believe that the coronal mass ejection associated with the long-duration X1.4-class flare on Wednesday the 29th may pass close enough to Earth to generate moderate G2 geomagnetic storming beginning on the 31st of May – just in time for this weekend's National Field Day! Otherwise, HF propagation has generally been good with decent F2-layer openings up to 21 and even 24MHz at times. The 17 and 15m bands look to provide the best DX, with paths to the east in the morning, and to the west during late afternoon and early evening. The 10m band is subject to Sporadic-E openings, with F2-layer openings mainly restricted to paths to South Africa and South America. Next week, NOAA predicts that the solar flux index will be in the 165 to 200 range, with quiet geomagnetic conditions. However, that is perhaps a little optimistic as active region 3697, or perhaps 3691, could easily throw a spanner in the works, with a flare and associated CME potentially sending the Kp index skywards. So, as always, keep an eye on the current state of the Sun at solarham.com, and work the bands while they are open! And now the VHF and up propagation news from G3YLA and G4BAO The close of the current week offers a temporary return of high pressure for this weekend. This should be good for some Tropo conditions for western parts of the UK. The weather turns a bit more unsettled going through the coming week, especially over northern Britain, but also occasionally in the south. Rain at this time of the year can often be heavy and thundery with good prospects for GHz bands rain scatter, but this may have to wait for the end of next week when a low moves north from France towards the southern UK. The early part of June is a time of several minor meteor showers. These should offer scope for meteor scatter operators as well as provide some fuel for Sporadic-E propagation which rocket measurements show consists of long-lived meteor ions. Sporadic-E propagation is often associated with the position of jet streams in the upper troposphere due to the turbulence that these fast-flowing currents of air generate. In the coming week, the jet stream pattern becomes much weaker, although still with a few options. Daily blogs are available at Propquest.co.uk  for those who are interested. Don't ignore the prospects for multi-hop transatlantic paths to the United States and particularly the Caribbean, which are usually well supported in the early part of the season before the upper winds over the Caribbean change over to high-summer slacker flow.  Equally, multi-hop Sporadic-E paths to the Far East are worth checking in the early morning following the effects of the now displaced northerly meandering jet stream flow across northern Russia. Moon declination went positive again on Saturday the 1st of June, so the coming week will see lengthening Moon windows. EME path loss is falling, reaching a minimum at perigee today, Sunday the 2nd of June. 144MHz sky noise is low apart from Thursday when the Sun and Moon are close in the sky. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Currently the largest electorate in history is heading to the polls in India, where - of course - politicians and political parties are trying their best to influence voters.  Film and popular culture have always provided a reflection of the country's political culture, but  in this election, they are being used more than ever to *sway* voters - especially by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his right-wing, Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, the BJP.  Vinita sits down with two scholars who look at the intersection of politics and popular culture to uncover how Bollywood is creating storylines that support Modi's BJP - and how big a role it might play in the outcome of the world's largest election. Political scientist Sikata Banerjee is Professor Emeritus of Women's Studies at the University of Victoria She looks at Indian politics through the lens of cinema.

Teacher Samvidha Srinath talks about using clips from popular TV shows in her classes, the benefits it brings to her teenage learners, and how she uses the material in class.KEY TALKING POINTSAdvantages of Using Authentic Media:Samvidha explains how using clips from films and TV shows in the classroom motivates and engages students. Authentic material also exposes students to the target language and various topics covered in the media. Examples from Samvidha's classes, including the TV show "Young Sheldon," illustrate the effectiveness of using relevant media.Selecting Appropriate Material:Samvidha shares her top priorities when choosing media for language classes, emphasising cultural appropriateness and relevance to students, and matching the material to students' language proficiency levels.Implementation Strategies:Differentiated materials and support are essential for addressing the diverse needs of learners in the classroom.Long-term media use (2 to 4 months or a school semester) allows for deeper engagement and language production from students.ABOUTSamvidha is currently training to become a teacher at secondary school level and specialises in teaching languages. She not only loves teaching, but is also a passionate language learner herself. She is fluent in five languages and is learning Korean and Japanese. Apart from this, Samvidha is also a writer and blogger. She runs her own blog called books and coffee (BOCO for short) where she writes about language learning, education and everything else she's passionate about.To learn more about Samvidha's work, visit her blog.TRANSCRIPTWatch with closed captions.SUPPORTSay thanks with coffee.JOIN OUR EVENTSUpcoming lives and workshopsCREDITSProducer Laura WilkesEditor Haven TsangThanks to our lovely guest, Samvidha Srinath.

A couple of weeks ago a TV drama hit the headlines in the UK. It changed government policy. It told the true story of how post office workers had been wrongly convicted of fraud by a faulty computer system. But the story wasn't new. Journalists had been trying to report on it for years. So, why did it suddenly gain national attention now and more importantly what can professional communicators learn from this? Helen Barnett was a national newspaper website editor for the Express Newspaper in the UK and saw both sides. She's now a content strategist. She recently wrote a short article about this case and so I invited her on The Public Relations Podcast to discuss it. *GUEST* Helen Barnett - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/helenbarnett/ Helen Barnett Media - helenbarnettmedia.co.uk * SUBSCRIBE * * Video and Audio links here - https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/listen/ Or search for "The Public Relations Podcast" on all good podcast apps * Connect with me - LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/richard-midson/ * Website and weekly newsletter - https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/ * Join the show as a co-host - https://thepublicrelationspodcast.com/one-sheet/

GB2RS News Sunday the 11th of June 2023 The news headlines: RSGB President's IRTS speech Contest group map Distance learning for Full licence exam   RSGB President, John McCullagh, GI4BWM received a warm welcome when he attended the IRTS AGM Gala Dinner recently. He talked about the challenges faced by national societies, as well as the success of the RSGB's Tonight@8 live webinars and online exams, which were introduced during the pandemic. John also stressed the importance of engaging young people in amateur radio, through the Society's work with schools and universities. He is featured on page 10 of the June issue of Ham Radio Ireland Magazine. As part of the RSGB's new Club Finder facilities, the Society has launched an online map that shows affiliated contest-only clubs and groups. If you'd like to get involved in a group, you can use the map to search locally and more widely. Depending on the club entry you will be able to see which contests they participate in as well as their contact and website information. If you are part of an RSGB-affiliated contest group or club, please check your details and, if they need updating, log into the RSGB members' portal. New information will be uploaded to the map every Friday afternoon. You can find the map on the RSGB's contest web page at rsgb.org/radiosport Since 2011, the Bath Based Distance Learning team has helped nearly one thousand students to obtain their Full licence. Student feedback is always very positive and the pass rate continues to be well over 80%, compared with a national average of around 66%. The BBDL team is now planning another Full-licence level course. The course will run from the end of August to December, with exams in January. Students receive weekly work packages via an online classroom and have access to weekly online tutorials. Each student is allocated to one of the remote tutors who provide feedback and additional guidance. There are weekly quizzes to check on progress and at the end of the course there are a number of mock exams. There is no charge for the training, but applicants must work through some pre-course material and complete a quiz to be eligible for a place. This focuses on the ‘new' Intermediate topics that were introduced to the syllabus in 2019. The aims of the pre-course classroom are to make sure applicants can use the BBDL systems and to ensure that they are ready for the current Full training syllabus. Each student will need to provide their own RSGB Full licence textbook and arrange their own exam at the end of the course. Advice will be provided as part of the course. The deadline for course applications is Tuesday the 25th of July. To request full details and an application form, please email BBDL Team Leader, Steve, G0FUW, via g0fuw@bbdl.org.uk International Museums on the Air will take place on the weekends of the 17th and 18th, and the 24th and 25th of June.

The majority of these small flares were produced by active region 3327 in the southeast quadrant. But a large number of sunspots means we are at a high risk of M-class or even higher flares over the next week. HF conditions for last weekend's Field Day were good and most teams put in good scores. Sporadic-E wasn't too evident on HF, but there was plenty of F-layer DX to be had and luckily an anticipated geomagnetic storm never materialised. The Kp index remained low for the whole weekend, apart from a brief excursion to Kp4 late on Sunday evening, which only lasted until the next three-hourly update. Next week the Space Weather Prediction Centre thinks the solar flux index will be in the range of 140 to 155, with 155 coming much later in the week. We may expect some geomagnetic disturbance over this weekend, with the Kp index perhaps reaching four on Sunday the 12th. Looking further ahead, the 18th to the 21st is predicted to be unsettled with a maximum Kp index of five. We really are into a period of summer HF propagation now, which is characterised by lower maximum useable frequencies during daylight hours, but higher MUFs during night-time. According to Propquest, night-time MUFs over a 3,000km path are staying well above 14MHz and even 18MHz all night. You may even find DX on 21MHz up until midnight. So don't write off the HF bands after dark as you may get some surprises.     And now the VHF and up propagation news Sporadic-E produced some remarkable conditions early last week with 50MHz FT8 QSOs made with Australia during the day and afternoon and evening openings to the Caribbean, Central, North and South America on FT8 and CW. Caribbean signals were still being copied at 2200UTC on some days. The 5th produced QSOs for many on 70MHz including S01WS in Western Sahara. We are still in the peak Sporadic-E season, so it is well worth keeping a check on band activity via the various clusters or simply listening, particularly in the late afternoon. The current weather setup is quite typical for this time of year and can be remarkably persistent. Although there have been suggestions of unsettled thundery weather arriving, it may be a brief visit and rather limited in extent. Some eastern areas stay close to the high pressure which becomes more dominant again throughout next week. This means that Tropo will still be a component of the coming week's propagation, especially along North Sea coasts, although this will tend to favour northern Britain as the week progresses. The thundery weather could introduce rain scatter, especially to southern and western areas, and these storms should be easy to track in view of the light upper winds. Recent solar conditions, as detailed in the previous section, continue to provide propagation variety with chances of aurora plus the usual mention of random meteor scatter. Moon declination is still negative until Monday, and, as we are past perigee, we will have lengthening Moon windows and rising path losses. 144MHz sky noise is low all week. And that's all from the propagation team this week.    

The top 100 B2B brands across the globe are worth a staggering $2 trillion collectively. But they have $1 trillion in untapped brand potential. Talk about missed opportunity, right?Historically, B2B marketing has been highly rational, focused on features and benefits. But this has come at the price of undervaluing brand-building and awareness. Now, that's starting to change. In this episode, Angela, Rob and Elena discuss B2B's emerging focus on brand-building, creativity and reach. Because the truth is that many B2C marketing strategies have just as much relevance for B2B. After all, even as a B2B company, you're still selling to people.

Although we started the week with the Solar Flux Index in the low 150s, it quickly picked up to reach 161 by Thursday. As a result, there was DX to be had, although most of the attention was on 6m where some outstanding multi-hop DX contacts were being made. But back on HF and people have been chasing T31TT on the Central Kiribati Islands. Some have made it, but it's a difficult path. Closer to home, Nobby Styles, G0VJG and Emil, DL8JJ have been active on Rockall, which is IOTA EU-189, using the callsign MM0UKI. Rockall is an uninhabitable granite islet situated in the North Atlantic. The nearest permanently inhabited place is North Uist, an island in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland, 200 nautical miles to the east. They have been worked from the UK mainland on 30m and 20m and heard in the east of England on 15m, possibly via Sporadic-E. They may have been a little too close to northern areas for 20m as you may have been inside their skip zone. One of their aims is to raise as much as possible for the Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity and ABF, The Soldiers' Charity, so please support them if you can. This weekend we may have unsettled geomagnetic conditions partly due to an Earth-facing coronal hole with the Kp index peaking at five. But after the weekend things may settle with a maximum Kp index of two. The solar flux index is predicted to be around 150, declining to 130 as the week goes on, so HF conditions may be down a little on last week.   And now the VHF and up propagation news The weather pattern seems stuck in its typical late spring/early summer state with cold north-easterly winds in eastern areas. There are good prospects for western Britain to shine but leaving eastern areas struggling. The root cause is a large area of high pressure that is over northern Britain, and currently trying to transfer to the east, which could improve things. Either way, it does mean that Tropo was doing a lot of the propagation work last week and will do so for much of next week too. As the high edges east, or splits into one to the west and one to the east of the UK, it could leave room for isolated thundery showers to encroach into southern and southwestern areas and give a chance of rain scatter on the GHz bands. The main mode of interest will probably be Sporadic-E and there have been a few examples in the last week, both single-hop within Europe and multi-hop paths to the States, the Far East and Australia. The first week of June is typically a prime period for Sporadic-E and although the jet stream position suggests mainly paths northeast to Scandinavia and Baltic regions will be best, other multi-hop options farther afield are worth exploring too. Monitor the clusters and band maps to see where the activity is happening. If you hear this in time, you might want to check out the 24-hour UK Six Metre Group Summer Sporadic-E contest which ends at 1300UTC today, the 4th. There should be plenty of activity. Other modes may also pop into view, such as aurora and meteor scatter, so we may be spoilt for choice. Moon declination is negative all week and still falling until Tuesday. We are past apogee so path losses will fall as the week goes on. So we will also have short Moon windows with falling path losses until perigee late Tuesday. 144MHz sky noise is high, reaching a peak of 2700K on Monday and only going below 300K by Friday. And that's all from the propagation team this week.

Starting a conversation with a child about their own struggles and coping skills can be difficult. The best way around that in my opinion is to show through examples in books and TV. We all know how hard direct feedback and critique can be, yet if it is explained in a lighter way using someone else as an example, it can be much easier to digest and a perfect way to teach children. The topics I cover in this episode are;I give multiple examples of books you can use for really little childrenUsing characters in tv shows to work out what they can do when they have big emotionsWhat works for older children?

Sexual abuse affects boys and men too. 1 in 6 boys will be a victim of sexual abuse before the age of 18. But, in part due to lingering shame and stigmas, many victims don't disclose the abuse until years later (if at all). They suffer in silence. Court Stroud was one of those boys. He was 6 years old the first time he was sexually assaulted. He was in third-grade the next time he was assaulted. More assaults occurred in his teenage and young adult years. And yet, he told no one. "This is a story I wasn't comfortable talking about, even with those closest to me, until about four years ago," Court says. He did1 in 6 boys will be a victim of sexual abuse before the age of 18. But, in part due to lingering shame and stigmas, many victims don't disclose the abuse until years later (if at all). n't tell his mother (and other close relatives) about the abuse until his Newsweek essay, "After 50 Years of Sexual Assault Shame, I'm Finally Reclaiming My Voice," won a prestigious journalism award in the Spring of 2022. He learned then "that the terror they were going to reject me" was all in his head. Sharing his story, he hopes, will help others. "We're only as sick as our secrets," Court says. "The more transparently that I'm able to live, the healthier I'm able to be. The silence was worse than the incident." Need help or support?

Steph Watt's first gig in the US was interning at The Village Voice, where he got to work with great journalists like Frank Owen. His first full-time job was at Brill's Content Magazine, launched by Steven Brill, who was also the creator of Court TV. When the magazine folded, Steph moved to Court TV, starting in documentaries.  Steph was in courts daily, covering trials and quickly learned about the strengths and weaknesses of the US judicial system. He remembers discovering that 95% of the inmates in court were Black and charged with petty crimes such as drug offenses and robberies. In the past, Steph focused on pop-culture stories. Now, he believes his role is to share stories that make a difference. He states, “Let's start telling compelling stories of injustice. Let's be transparent about our mistakes within the judicial system so we can fix them.” In this week's episode of Motivational Mondays, you'll learn why Steph became a TV crime journalist, the notable stories that Steph has covered in his career, and how he became a pioneer in the crime TV genre.   LEARN MORE: >> Connect with Steph on LinkedIn {https://www.linkedin.com/in/steph-watts-/} >> Listen to Steph's true crime podcast, Case by Case {https://open.spotify.com/show/44VrdjuU6ya7k9Cz33yt2g}   NSLS MEMBERS ONLY: Listen to the bonus episode to learn how Steph stays determined to uncover the truth, while navigating unforeseen potential dangers in the field. {https://thens.ls/3xSdgyt}

Lots of people like to use TV shows, but a lot of teachers get stuck in “their” generation. Many of our students weren't even born when shows like Full House and even Friends ended. It is important to bring updated media to our students' repertoire and for us to consider new shows that might reflect American culture as the times change. Shows of 2022 have more diversity representation, storylines and characters that reflect the makeup of the U.S. better than in the past, and often tackle issues that our students will see reflected during their stay in the U.S. or read about overseas. In this episode we give you ideas and suggestions for more modern media. Want to support the show? Share the show with a friend or colleague

Lots of students enjoy watching TV shows and movies in English because they’re fun and entertaining. But this is also a great way to practice understanding native speakers. Let’s be honest, native speakers can be really hard to understand. Sometimes we speak quickly. Sometimes we mumble. That means we don’t speak clearly. Here’s what mumbling sounds like: (example). Did you understand that? Yeah, that’s mumbling. Plus, native speakers use so many expressions and slang words. You need to practice listening to native speakers a lot if you want to be able to understand them easily. When you watch TV shows in English, you’ll hear common words, phrases and expressions that native speakers use when they talk about everyday things like work, family and their personal lives. You’ll also hear references to American culture, so you can learn a lot about that from these shows too. As a matter of fact, most of my students who take private classes with me watch TV shows as part of their homework every week. But here’s a common mistake that a lot of students make. They choose the wrong show. So today, I’m going to talk about how to choose a show and which show my students have enjoyed the most. After that, I’ll give you some tips on how to really learn from watching TV shows. First, I want to talk about some of the common things that students watch. Ted Talks videos are very popular. There are tons of videos available on YouTube and Ted Talks can be great practice. You can learn vocabulary and expressions from these videos, but you need to remember a few things. First, a Ted Talks video is usually a speech or a lecture. One person talks for the entire video. And the way people talk when they’re giving a speech is not the same as the way people talk when they’re having a conversation. Second, the thing that a lot of students need to practice as they get more advanced is understanding conversations where more than one person is talking to them. A lot of students need to improve this skill, especially if they work in a place where meetings are held in English. When you’re trying to listen to more than one person, things can get really confusing. And listening to speeches and lectures, won’t really help you to improve that skill. Another popular show is The Big Bang Theory. I’ll be honest. I’m not sure why people think this is a great show for English students. Most of the main characters in this TV show are nerds. They’re very smart and they talk a lot about science and math. So, the way these characters speak is sometimes very complicated. They use advanced vocabulary that isn’t important for English students to learn and that can make the show more confusing. These characters also don’t have the best social skills, so the way they talk is not the best example of the English language, unless you want to sound like a nerd. So, yes, the show is funny, but it may not be the best show to use if you want to hear how most native speakers talk. The truth is most people don’t talk like the characters on the Big Bang Theory. Game of Thrones is another show that’s popular with students, but again, native speakers don’t talk the way the people on this show talk. The accents and the vocabulary are different. So, watch it for fun if you want, but it’s not the best example of how people in the U.S. speak. The last show I’ll mention is Friends. I think every English student that I’ve ever talked to about TV shows has mentioned Friends. So, here’s my advice on that show. You need to remember that it’s an old show. It’s about 20 years old. Of course, the English language hasn’t changed that much in 20 years, but there are some things that are different. The most common slang words today, for example, are different from what they were 20 years ago. Also, the references to American culture that you’ll hear are kind of old. Honestly, this is my biggest problem with a show like this. Watching TV shows is a great way to learn more about American culture, but culture changes over time. I always prefer that my students watch something modern that will introduce them to today’s slang and culture. I think that those shows are more useful and a better resource for students.   If you want to watch videos or TV shows that only have one speaker, are a bit complicated or are more than 10 years old, that’s ok. They’re still good listening practice, but you need to remember the things that I mentioned earlier. Now, I’m going to tell you about one of my students’ favorite TV shows and if you have access to Netflix or Amazon Prime video, it should be really easy to find. If you don’t have either of those, you can probably find this show online somewhere else, so look around. Maybe some of you know a great website for watching English TV shows. If you do, please share the link in the comments. I’d love to share it with other students. Ok, I have two students, Steve and Jacky...If you’re listening, hey guys! Ok, I have two students who love this show. It’s called The Good Place. This show is about a woman named Eleanor who dies and goes to heaven, but she wasn’t supposed to go to heaven. She was supposed to go to hell. So she’s in a place where she doesn’t belong. Only one person knows and she needs to make sure that no one else finds out. She doesn’t want to let the cat out of the bag. Do you guys know that expression? Let the cat out of the bag means you tell a secret or you reveal a secret. So Eleanor has to work hard to keep this secret, but of course, lots of hilarious..That means really funny. Lots of hilarious things happen. The great things about this show are that it’s current (it’s only about 4 or 5 years old), there are lots of group conversations and the language isn’t too complicated. Also, even though the show happens in a strange place, there are still lots of everyday conversations. People fall in love, get in trouble, ask for help, things like that. So give this one a try. The next show is one you should try if The Good Place is a little too advanced for you. This TV show is a cartoon, but it’s not too silly. It’s actually based on a really old computer game that I used to play when I was about 10 years old. The show’s called Carmen Sandiego and it’s about a young woman named Carmen, who grew up in a school for professional thieves. She learned how to steal things when she was a kid. As she gets older, she realizes that the people she grew up with are breaking the law, so she decides to use her skills to stop them. This show is great for a lot of reasons. First of all, it’s less than a year old, so the language is very modern or current. Since it’s a cartoon, the vocabulary and story are also simpler than what you’ll hear in adult shows. Finally, a lot of the shows that you’ll hear people suggest for English students are comedies. If you’re looking for something different, this show has plenty of action that you might enjoy.   Now, let me give you a few tips for watching TV shows in English. The first thing you should do is watch the show without any subtitles and see how much you can understand. Then watch the show as many times as you want with English subtitles only. Don’t use subtitles in your native language. That won’t help you very much. When you watch the show with the subtitles, you should try to read the words on the screen as you hear them. This will help you to learn how native speakers pronounce words when they’re part of a sentence. This is a good way to train your ears so that you can understand connected speech. This is how you can practice understanding real English from real native speakers. Here’s another suggestion: The first time that you watch the show with subtitles, you should take notes on any words or phrases that you don’t understand. At the end, look up the words and phrases that you think are the most important for you to learn in order to understand the show. Then when you watch it again with subtitles, look at your notes so that you remember what these new words and phrases mean. This will definitely help you to understand more of the show. Over the next few days and weeks, make sure that you review the vocabulary that you learned. You need to look at it again and again so that you remember what the words mean and how they were used in the show. If you can remember what was happening when the word was used, it will be a lot easier to remember the word weeks and even months after you learned it. Here’s one last tip for you: If you have to look up more than 20 words to understand a TV show, it’s too hard for you. Pick something easier. Alright everyone. I’ve given you plenty of things to work on. Now, it’s time for you to go pick a show and get started. If you have questions about anything that I talked about today, make sure you leave a comment so that I can help you. Also, don’t forget to answer the question that I asked earlier: What websites (other than YouTube, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video) do you use to watch TV shows in English?

What does creativity mean to you and do you practice it outside of work? Work can take up such a big part of our day and become a huge part of our identity which can create an issue. It's easy to become obsessed with earning the most money and becoming the best team member that you forget about having hobbies that you love and embracing your creative and playful side. This week on the podcast, we're discussing how you can give yourself more permission to be creative and go after fun things that have nothing to do with work or being the best. But first, here are a few things you should know about creativity. Being Creative Can Actually Make You Better At Your Job Saving all your creativity and energy for the job can actually turn out to be a bad move. Ever had a 'creative block'? That's probably because you've been overworking yourself and forces creativity into your job to achieve certain results instead of taking the time to experience it first hand and pull from personal experiences. Having a creative outlet and a hobby that excites you and allows you to relate, explore, and create can be very good for your wellbeing and mental health. Creativity allows you to express yourself and learn more about yourself. Whether you like to paint, draw, make crafts, sew, fix things, etc. these creative tasks can add to your identity outside of the workplace and even improve your overall mood. Creativity Can Be Freeing I know we just listed a few creative activity in the previous point, but creativity doesn't look the same for each person. What seems creative and fun to you probably won't look exactly the same for the next person. The cool thing about letting go and embracing creative and playful activities and hobbies and that there is a broad range of options you can explore. There's no right or wrong solution which can make being creative feel pretty freeing. Creativity allows you to escape limitations and the boring status quo. 8 Easy Ways to Embrace Creativity While creativity can mean anything for you, we've included just a few easy ideas of ways you can start being more creative in your everyday life just to get your wheels turning. By no means do you have to limit yourself to these ideas. In fact, we'd love if you could respond in the comment section with some of your favorite hobbies and ways to feel creative after listening to our episode and takeaways. Write in a journal. Start your memoirs. Capture the most amazing parts of the entire year. Make a small token gift for someone. The next time a birthday or holiday rolls around, consider making something small and special for someone in your life as opposed to going to the store and picking up a generic gift. Use an adult coloring book. This can be a fun and relaxing way to relieve stress as well. Do a DIY project in your home. Don't take on anything stressful, but if DIY projects excite you, feel free to add your own creative spin on the finished product. Try a different type of art. Try your hand at painting on a canvas or creating pottery. Mend your own clothes. Challenge yourself to learn something new. This will help you save money too no doubt. Work on improving the visual appearance of your food. If you love to bake, you can try decorating a cake or improving the presentation of the meals you prepare. Some food looks too good to eat but culinary art is just another way to embrace your creativity. Create something meaningful. If you've ever wanted to write a book or create a gadget that will make your life easier, stop hesitating and start taking action. Don't let money or recognition motivate your efforts. Instead, let your creativity drive and motivate you throughout the entire process.
