Explanation: What will the Moon phase be on your birthday this year? It is hard to predict because the Moon's appearance changes nightly. As the Moon orbits the Earth, the half illuminated by the Sun first becomes increasingly visible, then decreasingly visible. The featured video animates images and altitude data taken by NASA's Moon-orbiting Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter to show all 12 lunations that appear this year, 2022 -- as seen from Earth's northern (southern) hemisphere. A single lunation describes one full cycle of our Moon, including all of its phases. A full lunation takes about 29.5 days, just under a...

In Psalm 31, David introduces us to the phrase “the secret of your presence.” He writes, “Oh, how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have prepared for those who trust in you in the presence of the sons of men! You shall hide them in the secret place of your presence from the plots of man; you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues” (Psalm 31:19-20, NKJV). David is saying something very profound here. In the Old Testament, the presence of the Lord was associated...

Whoopi Goldberg apologized on Tuesday’s episode of ABC’s “The View” for saying the Holocaust wasn’t “about race” on Monday’s show while discussing a Tennessee school district removing Art Spiegelman’s graphic novel “Maus” from their curriculum. Goldberg said, “So yesterday on our show, I misspoke. I tweeted about it last night, but I kind of want you to hear it from me directly. I said something that I feel a responsibility for not leaving unexamined because my words upset so many people, which was never my intention. And I understand why now, and for that, I am deeply, deeply grateful because...

The White House indicated Tuesday that Spotify’s attempts to address what they described as coronavirus “misinformation” on podcaster Joe Rogan’s interviews was not a strong enough response to the freedom of speech controversy. Spotify announced a decision Sunday to include content advisory warnings on Rogan’s interviews about the coronavirus pandemic with sources dissenting from the government narrative about the virus. “It’s a positive step but more can be done,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki said during the daily briefing on Tuesday. Spotify acted to address the situation after musicians Neil Young and Joni Mitchell asked the company to remove...

Paris (AFP) – Coral reefs that anchor a quarter of marine wildlife and the livelihoods of more than half-a-billion people will most likely be wiped out even if global warming is capped within Paris climate goals, researchers said Tuesday. An average increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels would see more than 99 percent of the world's coral reefs unable to recover from ever more frequent marine heat waves, they reported in the journal PLOS Climate. At two degrees of warming, mortality will be 100 percent according to the study, which used a new generation of climate models with...

The FOIA requests, first sent last June, also...

PUNXSUTAWNEY, PA—Another celebrity has come out publicly against the dangers of rampant misinformation. The famed groundhog Punxsutawney Phil has refused to emerge from his hole to determine the remaining length of winter until Joe Rogan is canceled. “I’ve wanted to do something about Mr. Rogan’s dangerous peddling of misinformation for some time now, but couldn't think of a good way to do it,” said the esteemed rodent while munching a stalk of celery. “Then I heard about some amateur singers named Ned Young and Joni Munchwell making waves and wondered what would happen if an actual celebrity like myself were...

I have been thinking lately that the prisons are being emptied for us so called "crazy right wingers" to occupy. Is this possible?

One Possible ScenarioStep One: Justice Stephen Beyer retired from the Supreme Court. He was not aware of being put out to pasture and had no immediate plans to step aside. Someone, mysteriously gave him a nudge and made that decision for him. One morning, Stephen was eating pancakes, reading the paper and suddenly discovered that his days on the bench were over. Apparently, a high ranking anonymous source with a hidden agenda leaked the story to the press. The article in the paper stated that he was going to spend more time with his wife Joanna and maybe go on...

A Republican National Committee member and former Trump adviser is asking the party to vote Thursday on a resolution demanding that House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy expel Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger from the House GOP conference for their participation on the Democrats' Jan. 6 investigation committee. Cheney, of Wyoming, and Kinzinger, of Illinois, two vocal critics of former President Donald Trump inside his own party, agreed to join the Jan. 6 committee on their own after McCarthy was denied the right to pick Republicans to serve on the panel. They have since become outcasts from much of their...

The 17-year-old, who was arrested at Hanover Central Station on Saturday, denied in a first hearing that he had planned an attack. This was announced by the Düsseldorf public prosecutor responsible for the prosecution of terrorism on Tuesday.

It has not yet been decided whether an arrest warrant will be applied for against the 17-year-old from Kerpen (North Rhine-Westphalia). He can remain in police...

A mere 44% of Americans have enough savings to cover an unplanned expense of $1,000, according to a Bankrate.com survey. The number means that the majority of Americans would need to use other methods, aside from their personal savings, to pay for an emergency expense. While the findings may be surprising to some, they represent an improvement compared to last year, when 39% said they have enough money saved for a $1,000 emergency expense. Greg McBride, chief financial analyst for Bankrate.com, says, “While the ability to cover an unplanned $1,000 expense from savings is the best we’ve seen over the...

I grew up hearing that mental health disorders and illnesses of every kind were evil. Because I was told these things from an isolated world of fundamentalist Christianity, I was not surprised to see Pastor Greg Locke’s sermon suggesting autism, epilepsy and other mental health disorders are actually demon possession. I’ve heard this countless times while sitting in the pews of independent fundamental Baptist churches. A screaming child was said to be a rebellious child who the devil was using. I recall the preachers saying often, “How many lost souls did those ‘tantrums’ lead into hell?,” berating children and the...
