"Don't have this lived experience. When you are writing for young adults as a mother as an educator, as a writer, how are you assessing how much a teen can handle? It's so funny to me because so many people will say, oh, I would love to write YA, but I just can't, because it's just too intense, or there's a scene in my novel that is too violent. It couldn't be why. Or the subject matter is just too much for YA. And I just laugh inside because YA is not what it was 30 years ago. It just is an umbrella to all these matters, social justice, themes that are in the news. I absolutely think that YA is a space that can hold so much. And I'm glad for it because these are books that young people are assigned. Books that are on reading lists, summer lists, books that the enthusiasm buy for their kids. It just feels so important to have young people, they're already exposed to it all. So let's just be honest. They're already exposed to it all. So why not give them a story where they can come to conclusions themselves rather than just be given whatever is on the news quickly? You said something really powerful earlier about the role that these books can play in shaping a young person's thinking about the world about social justice. It strikes me that when you release, don't ask me where I'm from, you're at the height of the pandemic. You're releasing this now. You're releasing borderless in a moment when there are fraught political conversations about banning books in this country. And a lot of those books have to do with race with ethnicity with the most complicated and unsavory elements of U.S. history. For you, again, as a mom as an educator as a writer, how does that impact your work? And the young people that you're trying to reach. So much, so much. I feel such an urgency to do this work. I really do. It feels so critical to me to create space for these stories that are intentionally being left out of textbooks, stories that are being erased physically removed from bookshelves. Sometimes taken out of students hands, we saw that in Arizona, we saw that in New Mexico, we saw that with so much that's happening right now. And the thing about it is it's not only hurting the students or the young people who might see their lives reflected in these stories. It's hurting everyone. It's hurting the students who really need this window into these experiences who might not know anything about Central American immigration or immigration in general. So I feel that it's, I hate to say it, but the word timely isn't the right word. It's more like imperative. That this is happening now. This is a book that I have always wanted to have in the world, but it just feels, I don't know, a little bit, yeah, I guess timely. I don't know how else to put it. It feels like it's the right time. I love that as a writer, you are so committed to getting the right word. I love it. Always. You're going to call me in the middle of the night. You're going to be like, no, if I figured out what the right word is, Jen, what did I miss? Oh my goodness, I just thank you so much for creating space for this conversation. I want to tell people listening who are interested in writing who want to write that you absolutely deserve to be a writer and to be writing in this world. It took me a long time to, like I said, get the Gunners. But once I did, once I started on this path, it only makes me want to make the path wider for others. It really does. I love that. Jen, thank you so much for your time. Thank you. Thanks for listening. Latina to Latina is executive produced and owned by Julia Antigua and me, Alicia Menendez.

"Got this, what's your side of the story? We could have addressed this in a way that respected doctor Ford's privacy, so it wouldn't necessarily even become public unless she wanted it to. So it's interesting because we talked about dianne Feinstein being elected in the year of the woman, which followed the infamous clarence Thomas Anita hill hearings. And in a lot of ways, you fast forward, and dianne Feinstein should be noted was the first woman who ever went on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I think a large part of response to the clarence Thomas needed hill hearing so fast forward. Here she is on the committee and we're going through again this sort of he said she said political drama, which really captivated the country in a way, again, very reminiscent of the Thomas hill hearings. And dianne Feinstein was right square in the middle of it. It was a constituent of hers, Christine blasey Ford, who talked about an alleged assault on her by Brett Kavanaugh when they were both in high school. Dianne Feinstein did not come forth with that information. It dribbled out. She was criticized for withholding that information. And then she was criticized for giving credence to the information by letting it come out. So she kind of got it coming and going both ways around the Brett Kavanaugh hearings. And then we fast forward to the Amy Coney Barrett hearing where in something that still has a lot of folks head scratching. She hugged Lindsey Graham, literally embraced him and said what a great set of hearings they were. And let's be clear to give that a little bit of context. It was like three weeks before the presidential election, you know, after the Republicans and Mitch McConnell had refused to give a hearing to Merrick Garland saying we need to wait for the presidential campaign, all of a sudden they were ready to rush through. In 2016, all of a sudden, 2020, they already had a rush this through. Feinstein sort of gives it the stamp of approval by hugging Lindsey Graham for a lot of people. That was not just the last straw. That was like the whole haystack. Yeah, that was 2020 and by then, I mean, she had one in 2018 her reelection for the U.S. Senate seat, but she didn't have at that point to endorsement of her own party. No, not surprisingly, she ran against Kevin de Leon and beat him rather handily, but you know, by 2020 and by the time of the Coney Barrett hearing, there had already been a lot of rumblings about dianne Feinstein about her mental cognition. And there were a lot of people who just sort of put whether it added up to four or not, they sort of put two and two together and said, wow, here she is hugging Lindsey Graham. I mean, she's just not all there. And it should be said, I mean, I don't know about you. I've personally dealt with people who dealt with cognitive loss and they have good days and they have bad days, and I think that's very much the case with senator Feinstein. You know, you fast forward to the Ketanji Brown hearings. She actually acquitted herself quite well during those hearings. Well enough that I did a column suggesting that, you know what? Just back off, let her finish, you know, maybe she's not all that she was, but good enough is good enough. But the point being a lot of folks, she seemingly has good days and bad days, and I guess the Lindsey Graham embrace was a very bad day. Were those arguments about her competence where they valid or was it sexism or ageism? Because I know you see this always. When you get these really older politicians, I'm remembering from the past Robert bird from West Virginia, Strom Thurmond, and they got some criticism, but for me it just seems there's a lot of swirling speculation about Feinstein that I never really saw with some of the men from the past. Yeah, I see what you're saying and I understand people who suggest that because you're right, people like bob bird, people like Strom Thurmond who are wielding the Senate chamber, and I think at the end they were actually picking up Strom Thurmond's hand and pushing on the button that he needed. So I get that point. And there isn't comparison to be made, you know, chuck grassley, the senator from Iowa is, I believe, something like two months and 12 days younger than dianne Feinstein. So essentially, he's the same age, was just reelected overwhelmingly in Iowa, didn't even have much of a contest. So sure, you could point to that and suggest that sexism at work. But I think voters are practical and I think people looked at chuck grassley, a guy who made a point about talking how he does calisthenics and runs four miles out of every morning or two or three mornings a week. There has never been the same kind of questioning. And not just questioning, but examples that people could see for themselves of a cognitive decline of a physical decline that we saw with dianne Feinstein. Didn't see that with chuck grassley. So sure, I understand why people might make that case given our history, but I think if you look at what voters had to go on, personally, I don't see sexism or ageism at work. So you could say that Feinstein's political careers ending with a whimper, not as a bang, how does that affect her legacy? Well, look, I'm not a cheerleader for Feinstein. I will say I've covered like I said for 30 plus years and I will tell you, we've had, we've had our ups, we had our downs. I've

"In Atlanta a little bit chillier than it might be normally this time of year. But I'll tell you what, David, this morning, before people went to work, we had a line around the block at the Ponce de Leon library. Much like we saw over the course of two weeks of early voting. The question is, are we going to see more lines like that later on? As both candidates try to make the case for voters to turn out and for different reasons. Rafael Warnock is afraid that everyone thinks that they want already because there's so many stories about early record voting helping Democrats, Herschel Walker is trying to put a dent in that early vote and try to get more conservative in many cases white Republicans to come out of the suburbs and make a stand on this day of the election. So Joe thus far are there any reports of any irregularities because it's not unheard of to hear of voting machines breaking down or something not opening on time? We had any reports of that. Not only have I not heard reports of irregularities I was talking to an elections worker here at the library of Ponce de Leon and he told me at one point he had to start bringing people indoors to the line was going so far around the block that police became concerned. He started to put people in overflow rooms. And he said he didn't hear one complaint as long as they were promised that they would have a chance to vote. There is a concern when you start seeing lines like that, that people might not be able to get in might not be able to have their voice heard, but he said as long as they knew they were going to get a vote, they didn't care if it was a three, four hour wait, David. That's pretty unusual. Yeah, no kidding. When did the polls close, Joe? And which parties are you going to? It's 7 o'clock tonight. So we're about halfway through the voting day right now. And it's interesting. We usually make those decisions based on how things are going. There are election night parties watch parties for both candidates here in the Atlanta area. But I won't be the first to make note of the fact that Herschel Walker's campaign kicked out invites for what they called an election night party. As opposed to a victory rally. And those kind of words are parsed pretty carefully in this line of work because they're trying to project optimism and project a win. And if you want to just come have a party you can watch TV and watch the election results that doesn't quite sound like the same thing, but we'll be following both of the candidates this evening and like to think that they're going to speak once this is called. The question is, will it be called tonight David or maybe tomorrow or beyond? And I understand you've got an important guest on for sound tonight at 5 p.m.. I'm just told you have bread raffensperger. We all know that name. You said it from the famous phone call, the perfect call with Donald Trump. He's of course running this runoff election, just like he ran the runoffs two years ago, and he is going to join us right off at the top at 5 o'clock. It's two hours at that point before the polls close, and that'll probably be the last we hear from Brad raffensperger until we get this thing settled. They've got a lot of work to do starting at 7 o'clock, including the early ballots. And again, it's just a question of how close this is to know how long we might have to wait for a result and how much counting might need to continue going into the more rural areas

"Down, we all need to show more. Finally, I wanted to find out how Paco works out what is enough for her. Is it a feeling? Is it a number? What factors go into knowing you have or are working toward enough? Sometimes I'm really triggered when I hear other people talking about their enough because honestly, I feel like the folks that I've seen talking about them being like, this is enough. I run a firm and I make all this money and this is enough. So far I've only seen like cis, gendered straight, white dudes talk about it. I'm trying to think maybe am I being biased here, but no, I haven't really heard of another I haven't heard of like, you know, a bipoc person being like, you know what? I finally reached enough. So I think it's tricky. I think that personal finance is a very personal thing. It is definitely a lifestyle thing. I live in Los Angeles. That is, I mean, most major cities are not cheap. I remember right after I got vaccinated and I started going out. I remember going to a cafe and having not been to a cafe I ordered a smoothie and then the man said $15 and I was like, wow. Los Angeles. I love you, but okay, you're doing me dirty, but okay, cool, living wage, you know? That's just what it would be what it be. So it is lifestyle. I live in Los Angeles, my wife is an interior designer, and she also does events. And so we have to be in a place where that service that she provides, which is a luxury service. She can sell it, right? The demand has to be there. So for my lifestyle, I see us always probably living in a major city. Also, the option to retire is cool. That would be cool. I would love to retire. Also, the option to buy a house would be cool. And I mean, if you are alive and looking at things, you'll know that the price of houses just keeps going up and every time I think, oh, we're almost there. It just goes out of reach. So that's kind of something that we're constantly chasing and trying to keep up with. And we want to participate in that. For me, I do have a number. I would. So here's how I think about this. Breast tax. For every $1 million that you have invested, you can reasonably expect to take 4% and you can live on it. So that's $40,000. So if you're spending $40,000 today and you think, okay, for the next, I don't know, ten, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years, $40,000 is all I'm going to need, which maybe for the next few years, that's true, but we've understand how inflation works. That might not be true. So that's kind of the baseline operating. If you want to live off of 40 grand a year, you need at least a $1 million. So, you know, my number is in the multiple millions. I am trying to pass multiple millions of dollars of wealth so that I can one day retire or own a piece of property probably both of those things. And not have to eat cat food. The other factor that's really fascinating for same sex couples is if we ever want to have a child, we would have to acquire one in some fashion. I know that sounds gnarly. I do say it because it gets laughs, and I'm not above getting laughs. It's just not as straightforward for same sex couples. So, you know, I don't know if we're going to have children if we had like a giant pile of cash that we could use to acquire said child. Not like on the black market. I mean, adoption feeds or whatever. There's like science involved and you have to pay doctors and stuff. You know what I mean? Clearly, I've done a lot of research. I would love that option. You know, and I would love to approach that option from a space of freedom, not like, oh no, this is going to be one of the biggest decisions of my life. Cool. Let's let the finances drive. One person's enough, let's take this surfer archetype, right? That person's enough is maybe living in a van, half of the year and driving up the coast and having access to waves and not spending very much. Cooking on a little stove top, another person's enough is having 5 kids in a house that can have 5 kids having enough to feed them and to maybe even create generational wealth. Everybody's enough is really different. And that's why it's so important to me to encourage and inspire people to stop and ponder that. What is enough for you? And when you think you don't have enough, one is it real, and two, if you feel like you don't have enough and you are working towards having enough, what does that look like and what is your number? I think the trick there is for a lot of us that number is going to move. That's the real trick is when you keep chasing it. Is it real or are you trying to fill a hole within you? I often feel like I don't have enough or since I have trauma with finances, there will be moments where I'm like, oh no. I don't have enough or I'm not reaching my income goal or whatever the story is. And I would say 99.9% of the time I'm safe, I have a roof over my head. I have food in my belly. I have cash in the bank, and so when you have that moment because we all have it, where we're like, look, am I doing enough? Do I have enough? Just stop. And I'm hopefully you're safe and take a deep breath, and if you are safe just tell yourself that you're safe right now, and I know it sounds corny and like, no, it's not going to work, Paco. Try it. Just try it, and if it works, go with it, and if it doesn't, well, you gave it your you gave it a good college try and you can find another tool like that. To me, money is freedom, and it's power, and it allows me to live a life of dignity. And that's really what I want people, like the folks who are so out of touch, that's what I'm trying to get. The message I'm trying to get out there is we need a basic income because people just need to live dignified lives. We need healthcare because people just need to live dignified lives. We need access to education because it's just at the end of the day about dignity. Let's just solve that problem first. And then luxury will follow. I've been rolling that idea of dignity around in my mind since I talked to Paco. Who is denied dignity? What are the mechanisms that enforce that denial? And what does a dignified life look like and how much does it cost? Paco does a great job of addressing the things we can control about money. And she also does a great job acknowledging that there is much that's out of our control. And this is certainly true when it comes to dignity. There's a lot we can do for ourselves to ensure a dignified life. But for many of us, there are factors out of our control that make it incredibly difficult. So what policy changes could we advocate for so that all people could have access to a dignified life? What community care projects could help more people live with dignity? We all have room to work on our beliefs about money. And many of us have enough room to start changing the larger conversation too.

"Remember time is money is a line from Benjamin Franklin's 1748 essay advice to a young tradesman. He encourages the reader to consider not only the money they might spend if they take a day off work, but also the money they'd lose for not working. Now I don't know about you, but I feel like I've been running that calculation on repeats since I was 16 years old. At least in the U.S., it seems we're born with this idea already encoded into our brains. Max Weber cites this aphorism repeatedly in his book the Protestant ethic and the spirit of capitalism. He sees it as a sort of semiotic turning point, a shift from the godly ethic of vocation to the secular ethic of capitalism and wealth building. And remember, this phrase dates back to at least 1748 that's 274 years of cultural indoctrination to this idea. Now if all of that sounds like I'm firmly against considering time as money or money as time, I'm not, but I do think it's an incredibly complicated truism that's worth interrogating instead of merely accepting as immutable. To kick off this deep dive into the question of whether time really is money. I wanted to talk about money. And what money actually is, how we think about it and why the way we think about money matters. I knew the perfect person to have this conversation with Paco de Leon from the hell yeah group. Paco has a brand new book out called finance for the people, which is both extremely practical and very thinky. My favorite. So we started this conversation off really simply. What is money? I love sitting around and pontificating at the weirdness and silliness of money and at its root on its surface at the very lowest level of money is it is a shared delusion. And I know that sounds maybe a little out of touch with reality or partially unhinged, but when you really think about what money is, it's just something that we all believe is valuable. Okay, this is super important. So I want to pause on this idea of money as a shared delusion for just a bit. Probably ten or 11 years ago now, I went to a lecture on money and meaning at my Alma mater. Yeah, I am that kind of nerd. You're such a nerd. That was the first time I was introduced to this idea, this fact, really. Money becomes valuable because you and I and millions of other people believe it is valuable. The government incentivizes us to believe that, of course, but ultimately, without the trust of U.S. consumers, the dollar just wouldn't be. As valuable. Further, this lecturer explained, money exists to make exchange. Easier to make it frictionless. Instead of every trade being a negotiation of how many eggs are equal to a pound of wheat, we can assign a monetary value to each product and then independently decide whether we want to trade our money for the eggs or the wheat or say a new iPhone. Now we're seeing this shared delusion play out in real time right now with cryptocurrency. My current research obsession. What do people believe Bitcoin or ether is worth? And how does that value fluctuate based on the number of people who believe in its value? How is a quote unquote currency impacted if few sellers accept it as payment from buyers? Friends? This is a conversation for another day. A day which is coming. But let's get back to Paco. If money is just this shared delusion, then why is it so important to my survival? If you've never sat and thought about that, if you take for granted, that money is very real thing because it has a very real impact on our lives. I think it's hard for folks to confront that because let's say you're unhappy with your job and you go to work every day and you feel like you're sacrificing your time on your compromising who you are working for this thing money. It's really hard to step back and admit that it's not real, but it's so real. And I think that's what's fascinating to me. About money is it's nothing in its everything. And I think once we start to examine what it is at its core, we can start to ask ourselves, if this thing is based on belief, well, how else is the way that I interact with it based on beliefs? And that really explodes your way of thinking about money. In both amazing ways and terrifying ways. What we believe about money impacts how we interact with it. It's the reason you and I can make drastically different money decisions and there's still the right decisions for us. Money isn't an immutable universal truth, but a fluid relative representation of value, which is always individual. What I value is not what you value. What you value is not what I value. What we each value will be decided by our circumstances, values, personal preferences, and priorities. And even within that relativity, there's also the question of how value is related to available resources. For instance, I might understand and appreciate the value of investing in a house in Montana right now, but I don't have the resources to buy a second home in a volatile market. So while I could justify spending the money, I don't have the money to spend. Now, I'll let Paco give you a much better example. The example that I always love to bring up is I was the $1 oyster. And so for some people, the $1 oyster is a deal, they're like, I got 30 bucks or whatever I'm gonna, I'm gonna eat a bunch of oysters for $1. And this will end well. And for other people, they look at the $1 oyster and they think, uh oh, that's kind of sketchy that a whole oyster is a dollar. I feel like maybe they're old and I'll get sick. But that's the mentality that I was walking around town offering my services for this $1 oyster style. My $1 oyster metaphor is leggings. Yeah, leggings. I see lots of posts on Pinterest and Instagram about how you can find leggings just like Lululemon's on Amazon for 20 bucks. So once I gave it a try, they were decent leggings, sure. But they've got nothing on Lululemon or Athleta. So yeah, I spend a lot of money relatively speaking on leggings and sports bras. But they last me for years, even though I put them through hell. So those $20 leggings might be a great deal for some. But I'll stick with paying extra to make sure I'm getting a better product. I know that might sound like virtue signaling. But honestly, it is just straight up more practical for me to buy a pair of leggings that last. But what we believe about oysters or leggings isn't the only.

"Absolutely absolutely and and the other thing is sometimes we overlooked. Just the just the simple act of talking to your kids. You know i. I was talking to a mom the other day. And i i was saying you know. You're you're standing there in the kitchen cooking dinner you know. Just be talking to your child and saying oh. I'm i'm stirring the meat. Let me put in the onions. Okay now minister in because all of that is cumulative right and so everything that you can do take a walk around the block not in silence. You know you wanna have discussions about what the different leaves. And oh what is this that we found. And you know. It's just a constant constant barrage so between conversation with your child or just you know dialogue with your child and then reading and reading you know also not just reading the words on the page but stopping along the way and asking questions and and you know having a conversation about it. Yes your children exactly. Yeah that that's just. That's just critical. Holly daily own is a lifelong educator on now serves as a national educational adviser for animal. Omlund learning adventure. Preschool learning system. What's the best thing that parents can do to ensure academic social emotional success for their kids and tell us a little bit more about animal island. Yeah sure well again. Some of the things that you and i have just talked about. Are things that parents really do need to. Do you know talking to them. A lot. In in every situation reading stories and nursery rhymes sometimes have parents kind of think well nursery rhymes are are silly and but they don't realize the importance get what we know from the research. Is that a four year old child. Who knows and can recite eight nursery rhymes. That's a very high predictor of reading success. And so you know we wanna do that as much as we can and And then being able to have this of this dialogue and the one thing that i would caution parents. And i've seen this over over the years a lot. Is you know sometimes a child. Well they'll have a speech pattern or or a language pattern and the parents think it's cute and so i've seen parents that would repeat back to the child the way the child senate right and and it's like no no no no you want to give them the correct model not repeat it back the way the child said because the child is going to modify what they're doing based on what you say and so you always want to give them a very strong model with correct pronunciation with language wrangler right. Yeah because you want to arm them for success and if they hear you doing it the same way it will then reinforcement. Exactly exactly highly absolutely fascinating conversation this morning. Wish we had so much more time unfortunately well. The clock is a rather strict so Again i tell us more about animal island and where we can learn more sure animal island. Learning adventure has was created to give the child a lot of a lot of vocabulary. A lot of academic vocabulary and so it..

"Say. I actually have that experience some mornings into child next. That's pretty much a red flag. In again i. Whenever i council parents. It's say let's look at milestones. Milestones are only like markers in the road. Okay just as long as we're moving forward we're good but what we don't want to see is stalled out development and like you say you know some kids were on a row and then they and then they halted so one of the things that i that i want. Parents to look for is speech development. Because this is obviously critically a critical time for speech development when they're in their preschool years so by by the age of three a child should be able to be understood about seventy five percent of the time by people in the family and outside the family. So if you saw a child you know who was seem to be developing normally normal speech patterns and then all of a sudden they revert back to like badly or you know only using mom. My dad things like that. That's that's a red flag and and the other is language development because we have two four two sides of language development we have the understanding or receptive language and a child should be able to have a receptive vocabulary by the age of three of about a thousand words and then a speaking vocabulary of about two hundred words and what you wanna see by the age of three is that that child is putting three to four words together and so again back to the same example if if a child was on that role and now they're going back there reverting back and they're only giving single word utterances that that's that's a problem and and then you mentioned pattern recognition. That's early math. That's logic and reasoning. Which is the foundation for math. And the other that we're that we're really watching closely is we have. We have some children that That come to us in kindergarten.

Thanks gail thanks for having me you that all right so the first thing it seems to me that we need to do is identify the problem before we can effectively take steps to remedy at right correct. Yeah it's really. It's just acknowledging that These kids have been through a lot. Sometimes you know we we. We think they're oblivious to it but they're really not because we always talk about particularly small children. Resilient they are but as i noted over the past Fourteen fifteen months. I've talked to so many parents of very young children and the children. Well it could be a couple of things. They're picking up on their parents. Stress anxiety as a result evolve lockdowns. And just all as i said all the stress due to covid nineteen or their same. Why can't we go out and play. Why can't we do what we need to do. In parents had to find a way to explain it in a way they could understand. Yeah exactly and you know. We have to acknowledge that a lot of these kids have had have seen death in their family. And that's their first exposure to it so you know we're concerned as educators about the learning loss but also the emotional toll because we know that development can be halted if a child's emotional stability is interrupted so we really got to look at both sides and unfortunately both things contribute to the deficit in learning. Well and i had read a piece. That i just found so heartbreaking talking particularly about preschoolers a some who you know.

Ever you do know and speaking of well. Language was kind of interesting this morning. I was putting together my facebook question for you and did you ever just go along through life. You know just thinking. Oh i've got this. I know how to do this. I i know proper english language. You know. I know how to dot the i's and prostes and i'm i'm pretty good at spelling but i'm putting this thing to get. Why should be because in my other job. I'm an editor for heaven sakes but it was funny. Because i'm sitting there and i'm writing the posts okay and i'm trying to pull it up as we speak because it was just one of those weird kind of moments in time where i'm talking about the fact that if you have been vaccinated here it is with the first of five million dollar drawings for vaccinated. Here here was the sticking point colorado or colorado. I always thought it was colorado ones but then wait a minute is colorado ones or colorado wins. But anyway here's the question with the of five million dollar drawings for vaccinated colorado is taking place tomorrow. Lots of other air quotes free. Close air quotes stuff up jab grabs as well asking you the question. Is this a good incentive or is it sheer bribery. But i took them in and said wait a minute is it colorado or is it collorado in so it's been a little time doing a little bit of research and found out. I've been doing it wrong all along. Back to a piece. By ed quillet out of the denver post. Let's see he's a former newspaper. He was former newspaper editor and he wrote a column back in two thousand seven for the post on tuesday or an saturdays and so he actually asked the same question the headline colorado or colorado an so. Which is it. good. Question said ed killion back in two thousand seven well. The informal rule is explained in the one thousand nine hundred forty five book names on the land by george r stewart. He didn't have that book so he cited the same information in that book from another book. The american language by h l mencken updated nine thousand nine hundred eighty two by raven. I'm david junior. And david w our i like somebody that sites their sources. That's always a good thing. So here's the bottom line. Let's just cut to the chase by and large when a place name ends in an. Oh you add and an so you would think colorado ending in ano- you would add the aunt and so it'd be colorado and the exception is if the place name is of spanish origin then you drop the show before adding and colorado instance okay. Now observed rule appears to work in practice. Think about idaho think about chicago. They derive from native american languages not spanish. So their residents are idahoans and chicagoans san francisco. Conversely comes from spanish. They're not san francisco and san franciscans residents of other realms was spanish names are mexicans and puerto ricans since colorado is a spanish word for the color bread. So wrong for so long we are properly colorado not colorado wins but there are some exceptions most notably the fort collins colorado in newspaper consistency would seem to dictate that it would be the fort collins colorado but at the colorado and newspaper state residents used to be back in the.

I would say personally speaking when it comes to my faith is that sometimes people know who you are right. They will see it and they will still try to press buttons and then as you mentioned something. We haven't really stepped back okay. God are you testing me because this other side wants to come out right now. Are you really tested me. it's funny. I think we've all probably felt like god is. I don't know if god really tests us as much as we think he does. I think he empowers us to make it past those things. I think he tells us up. Front there's going to be challenges. But i'm gonna be right there with you so during those challenges i think the more you learn to lean into him and say what is it that i'm missing here because i know that your perspective is much broader than mine. I know that you see beyond this issue. And i don't. There's so much more that i don't see than what i do. See what is it that i need to see here. I can't see what you see. Because i'm not god but i have access to us so show me what i'm meant to see in the situation so that i don't react based on only what i'm seeing physically like. What is unseen to me right. Now that i needed. And i think that's where faith comes in and you have to be open to listen and accept that there's something bigger happening underneath whatever's manifesting and so you know sometimes when you're in front of people that are pushing your buttons even. They may not know that they're having a bad day or that. They're pushing your buttons. And i think the biggest thing i learned is people.

You overcame in that industry. And how did you implement them in your business. I entered the industry at age. Twenty one so. After i graduated from college i was in the academy a week later. I was very fortunate that the small agency where i worked. I was working as an intern. And they basically saw some potential there in recruited me and i went for it and ended up loving police work because it wasn't really on my radar to be a police officer and as it turns out i loved it and there's lot of growth that happens because it's such a demanding profession and about five years in i found myself getting a little bit numb emotionally so i realized i don't want my job to change me and i don't want it to be my identity and that's right around the time. Also when i recommitted to my faith i ended up having an encounter with god and just. I decided that i wanted to live differently. And i wanted to to have a life of relationship with my creator. And at that point i decided to get healthy and so i made some changes in my personal life in terms of just not carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders and not feeling like my job was there to fix everything. It was liberating to know that i could trust that. God had the bigger picture and that. I just needed to do my part. And so i think at that point. I didn't make the decision i think. Currently there's a big talk about. Be the best you and maybe that's always been there. I didn't like. I needed that. To be said i feel like.

You are But Dust, and to Dust you Shall Return
"As Western. Culture becomes more and more secular to use. Charles Taylor's fascinating were disenchanted traditions and practices. That were once largely normal. Now seem more and more strange. Large Families Choosing Church over little league. Foreheads these things just aren't as normal as they used to be and the second glances and raised eyebrows. They create reveal more than just a confusion about the thing itself. In fact I'm not sure. There's a Christian observance more directly in collision with the widely accepted values of secularism than the imposition of the ashes. A tradition that goes back about ten centuries and which marks the beginning of the season of lent on the Church. Calendar like advent. The season of lent is about preparation before Christmas are Christian forebears thought it wise to prepare a bit and by diving deeply into Old Testament promises and prophecies that we'd better understand the birth of Christ in the full context of redemptive history and so two in lent are Christian forebears. Thought it wise that we should prepare for holy week especially for celebrating to resurrection on Easter Sunday. Now key distinction is that lent and disciplines beginning with Ash Wednesdays reminder that you're but dust and to dust you shall return place our celebration of Resurrection in the context of our humanity both our mortality and our fallen nece even if the Church calendar and its accompanying disciplines is not part of your church tradition. Those two aspects of our humanity deserve our focused intentional and extended reflection of course most Christians would quickly reply of course in death affect us all post Eden. The problem is that in our secular culture these beliefs that are crucial to a Christian worldview can be subtly secularized in our own hearts and minds years ago when my grandfather was dying he suffered terribly for three or four months and saw. I asked my pastor. Why doesn't God just take him now? Expected him to say something along the lines of well you know God has his ways in his own timing but instead he said something. I'll never forget because your grandfather needs to know his mortality before he meets his maker. See what Ponts de Leon once sought in the waters of a fountain of Youth. We still seek today via genetic engineering eugenics or some other technology and other words we seek control over this world and even over death itself despite our search death remains the universal problem of our human condition. One that afflicts us all a secular cultures led by the reality of death feared death itself so that we either attempt to control death or distract ourselves from the thought of it. As a result we learn to live life in light of a moment rather than eternity the reality of death should instead remind us to fear God that after death we will meet the maker of life. That's something worth pondering. Not just at the moment of death but constantly throughout our lives the login Craig warned in his book the way of the modern world that many of us who believe in God lives if God were largely irrelevant to most of life the reminder of our mortality in the words you're but dust into dust you shall return. That's a wonderful antidote for what he called practical atheism just like with the idea of mortality. Our understanding ever own sinfulness is also under threat of being secularized in our own minds living in a culture committed in the name of freedom to removing categories. Like sin or guilt and one. Quick to give away nearly universal. Get Out of jail free cards in the name of sexual freedom to many Christians lose any appearance for that which ought to shock and shame us. Perhaps that's why the salvation. That's brought to us in Christ's life death and resurrection as so often described as a quote wonderful example of love and sacrifice or how to get purpose and perspective in your life but so rarely described the terms of judicial forgiveness and cosmic victory that Pau Peter Jesus himself so often used being confronted with her own sinfulness certainly no fun but God graciously does after all the cruelest thing. We can tell someone who's not okay. As that they are has both are secularized. Culture in our secularized churches too often do repentance is a gift. It's the only way forward for those on the edge of the moral abyss and it's proof that God is kind as scripture say. Unfortunately we just don't hear these things often enough so thank God for lent

The End of UConn's Dominance?
"China Robinson is a women's basketball analyst at ESPN and the host of the around. The Rim podcast. Tonight we've got uconn women's basketball ascot ball versus Tennessee to traditional powerhouse rivals. Though hasn't been that case for a while now and for you on in particular. I think it's been an interesting year. If you haven't been paying attention to Uconn over the last few years you might assume that they're just gonNA blow them out like they blow out everyone but that hasn't been the case recently. No no it has not and in case. You're checking the trophy case. There has not been a national championship. Kinship Trophy in stores over the last three years which is reason to panic honestly Meena. It's all relative to Connecticut. Success asked him they have eleven national championship so the standard is always going to be national championship or bust. It is a story line for sure because we used to be able to just check the box pencil in Connecticut. Moving right along but has more gray hair right now than I used to. Seeing this group Pez definitely tested the boundaries of what we know to be uconn success and so it should be an interesting game Tennessee mm-hmm so they're still very good. They're just not worldbeaters the way they used to be. I mean there's there's sixty one and they have not how lost to an unranked team since two thousand twelve so like our expectations are almost like it's really kind of ridiculous Gino's talked about it for sixteen and one. What do I have to answer why? We're not waiting for why we missed so many shots or why we turn the ball or why I like what I thought the object was to win the game. These right like the goal is to win we're used to seeing Yukon be Yukon like b-teams by fifty. Not some of the questions that were asking about their program. You should write because there is a kind of fall from grace. They haven't made it past the final four in the last three years after winning four straight national championships but to say that Connecticut is not a good team and some of the other things. We've heard out here. That's just to me a little bit of a stretch. I think you make a good point which I know. which is it's? It's more about the standard the expectation and that this program set as recently as the twenty sixteen season they went thirty eight zero but it was after that as you point out when they started to slip a little bit. When did that I begin? The recent slippage to me has everything to do with the graduation of Rian Stuart. Poynter the Rian Stewart is a player like we have never seen in college basketball. He's most outstanding player of the final four four years years in a row. When you look at Connecticut success it's been connected to great players like Brianna Stewart won four of those eleven championship? It brings back in two thousand thirteen. Diana went three for you. GotTa try more with two seven. It has won the national championship. Dino said it himself he once said hey we have Diana to Rasi and you don't now is the difference between them in the rest of the country and or time. That was everything and that to me has been a key to their dominance is having that Maya Moore bringing a Stewart Dinas Rasi easy when so the conversation even if you go way way back and look at the history of Tennessee in Connecticut. For example that then women's College basketball did not have have the depth of talent in my opinion that there is now so it was like if you didn't get should be Coleslaw. Good luck if you didn't get Rebecca Lobo Good luck so so what we're seeing now is not just about what you con- is not but that other programs are competing recruiting Asia Wilson. WHO's the number one overall a player coming out of high school goes to South Carolina or Haley Jones? The number one overall recruit goes to Stanford then the conversation starts to change so now there is more good players and as you're saying they're more spread out across programs. Do you think any of them chose not to go to uconn because of you know the competition in a successor. Do you think it was just the product of other programs grams. Making good cells to them. First of all Gino's not for everybody when I watch game film. I'm checking what's going on the bench. Somebody's asleep over there. Somebody doesn't care hear. Somebody's not engaged in the game. They will never get into ever and they know that I'm not kidding. You know. I mean his his coaching shing style. The expectations everyone is not cut out for that. Think about Elena de Leon who actually went to Connecticut and that no thanks and
