Long before becoming the beloved Hawkeye Pierce on MAS*H, Alan Alda contracted polio when he was just seven, before a vaccine was available. His parents, including actor Robert Alda, had to perform a painful treatment based on the Elizabeth Kenny method, wrapping his arms and legs in almost scalding hot woolen blankets and repeatedly stretching his muscles to prevent stiffness. Alda recalled that the process was so painful it felt like his parents were practically torturing him, even though they were desperately trying to help him recover. He eventually survived the illness and went on to become one of television's most beloved stars. Looking back at 90, his childhood ordeal remains a powerful reminder of what families endured before the polio vaccine changed countless lives.

7 Simple Ways to Make Kindergarten Learning Fun at Home Helping young children learn at home doesn’t require expensive materials or hours of worksheets. Everyday activities can make learning fun while building essential skills. Here are seven simple ways to get started! 1. Make counting a game Use toys, blocks, or snacks to practice counting, adding, and sorting. Hands-on activities make math easier to understand. 2. Practice letters everywhere Point out letters on signs, books, and food packages. Start with familiar letters and gradually introduce new ones. 3. Read together daily Reading aloud builds vocabulary and listening skills. Ask questions like, “What do you think happens next?” to encourage thinking. 4. Add movement breaks Count jumps, hop to letters, or follow simple movement directions. Learning doesn’t always require sitting at a table! 5. Learn through play Pretend grocery stores, building blocks, and imaginative games develop math, language, and problem-solving skills. 6. Keep activities short Break lessons into manageable chunks. Brief, focused activities can help children stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed. 7. Celebrate progress Encourage effort, curiosity, and trying again after mistakes. Children need opportunities to practice and build confidence. Make learning meaningful Every child learns at a different pace. Some need extra repetition, while others are ready for new challenges. Focus on creating opportunities to explore, practice, and ask questions. With patience and consistency, everyday activities can help children build a strong foundation for future learning. Which of these activities does your child enjoy most?

Dino’s owner is currently homeless. Dino is living in a car. They are in an incredibly difficult situation, and Dino desperately needs a safe place to go. He cannot continue living this way. Dino is around 5 years old and neutered. He has lived with a female dog previously, but he requires very slow, proper introductions. He cannot live with small dogs or cats. Dino may take a little time to warm up, but once he trusts you, he becomes your Velcro dog. He bonds deeply with his person and wants nothing more than to be by your side. His owner describes him as a total sweetheart — loyal, affectionate, loving, and the kind of dog who will happily be your built-in bodyguard. ❤️ He has been bounced around far too much these past few weeks. What Dino needs now is stability. He needs a soft landing, a quiet place to decompress, and someone willing to give him the time and patience to show them who he really is. Dino is well trained and has excellent recall. He enjoys training and would thrive with someone who will work with him. Experience with pitties or other strong breeds would be ideal. 🙏 Please, someone step up for Dino. He doesn’t need another temporary stop. He needs a person who will give him a chance to finally exhale and feel safe. If you can adopt Dino, please apply ASAP. APPLICATION: Please SHARE THIS POST. His next share could be the one that gets him to safety. ❤️ * Although we appreciate the kind words and thoughts for the owners when we post dogs like this, please understand that this is an animal rescue page only and the owner has made the decision to surrender the dog. 💙

🌕🚀 NASA is accelerating plans for a sustained human presence on the Moon. NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman said on October 8, 2026, that the first element of a proposed lunar base could launch as early as December 2026. NASA is then targeting near-monthly uncrewed robotic missions beginning in early 2027. These missions would deliver equipment and help prepare the lunar surface for future infrastructure, particularly around the lunar south pole. The exact identity of the first base element has not yet been publicly clarified, so the December launch should be understood as a target rather than a guaranteed date. If the schedule holds, these robotic missions could represent an important step toward building the infrastructure needed for longer-term lunar exploration and eventual human habitation. 🌑🛰️ Source: Payload Space / NASA

John 10:10 It was a mixed crowd that day, not everyone was hungry for Truth. Not everyone there actually had ears that could hear. Jesus said things like ‘I am the Door’ and ‘I am the Good Shepherd’. He spoke of the hireling that flees, deserting the flock when the thief comes. He reminded them how sheep respond to their Shepherd‘s voice and run away when they hear a stranger. He was speaking to a people, who, for many generations made a living, tending sheep…were their hearts open to understanding, recognizing He was everything they’d been waiting for…Or closed because things would change, because it would complicate their current lifestyle? What did we consider before we knew Him? What was it like coming to know Him as the Door, the Good Shepherd… to us? Humility softens and opens our hearts to understanding and surrender. Having already conquered the spirit of Pride, Humility brings down the walls of deceit. We come to know Who it is that gives us life, the One Who causes us to enjoy it and have it in abundance. Jesus is the One Who ‘unmasks’ the thief by revealing his attempts to steal, kill and destroy us and the things that bring goodness into our lives. Do our hearts weep, knowing there are hearts, those trapped, enslaved to spirits of Pride, Deceit, Self Righteousness, Fear, Anger, Unforgiveness… hearts that don’t realize they’re joined to wickedness? The thief is cunning, but when the Light of Truth, the Good Shepherd comes, the thief’s true self becomes visible. This thief isn’t all powerful, all knowing and all seeing, this thief truly doesn’t have power over us that we haven’t given him. Jesus gives us opportunity to enter through the Door, to follow the Good Shepherd, to enjoy abundant life in Him. Thank you, Jesus! Thank you for showing us the way the truth and the life, for finding us when we get lost for loving us even when it’s hard. Thank you for saving us.
