NASA’s InSight machine (Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport) successfully touched down on the Red Planet after an almost seven-month, 300-million-mile (458-million-kilometer) journey from Earth.

InSight’s two-year mission will be to study the deep interior of Mars to learn how all celestial bodies with rocky surfaces, including Earth and the Moon, were formed.

After InSight launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on May 5th, the lander touched down Monday, November 26th, near Mars’ equator on the western side of a flat, smooth expanse of lava called Elysium Planitia, with a signal affirming a completed landing sequence.

“We hit the Martian atmosphere at 12,300 mph (19,800 kilometers per hour), and the whole sequence to touching down on the surface took only six-and-a-half minutes,” said InSight project manager Tom Hoffman at JPL. “During that short span of time, InSight had to autonomously perform dozens of operations and do them flawlessly – and by all indications, that is exactly what our spacecraft did.”

InSight will begin to collect science data within the first week after landing, though the teams will focus mainly on preparing to set InSight’s instruments on the Martian ground. At least two days after touchdown, the engineering team will begin to deploy InSight’s 5.9-foot-long (1.8-meter-long) robotic arm so that it can take images of the landscape.

“Today, we successfully landed on Mars for the eighth time in human history,” said NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine. “InSight will study the interior of Mars and will teach us valuable science as we prepare to send astronauts to the Moon and later to Mars. This accomplishment represents the ingenuity of America and our international partners, and it serves as a testament to the dedication and perseverance of our team. The best of NASA is yet to come, and it is coming soon.”

InSight will operate on the surface for one Martian year, plus 40 Martian days, or sols, until November 24, 2020.

But it wasn’t because anyone was hitting a home run – it’s because there was a cat who was running across the field.

Until the terrified feline fled into the dugout, players waited to resume game play.

Feeling sorry for the poor animal, the A’s manager, Tony La Russa, and his wife Elaine took the cat home and tried to find it a suitable adoption source.

It was then that the La Russas realized that there weren’t any no-kill shelters in the East Bay area of California.

So instead of relinquishing the cat, they adopted her and launched the Tony La Russa Animal Rescue Foundation (ARF): an organization that saves cats and dogs from a demise in a public shelter.

Since they launched in 1991, the ARF has saved over 38,000 animals from being euthanized. Many of these adoptions were also facilitated through their numerous programs that pair cats and dogs with veterans, seniors, and abused children who benefit from animal bonding.

And La Russa says that it is all thanks to a cat who ran across a baseball field 28 years ago.

Last week, the team announced that they would no longer be automatically giving out straws with their stadium food at Guaranteed Rate Field – although biodegradable straws will be available upon request.

Th initiative, which kicked off on Earth Day, is expected to prevent more than 215,000 plastic straws from ending up in the landfill over the course of the season.

The project was also made in collaboration with the Shedd Aquarium’s “Shedd the Straw” campaign to get Chicago businesses and individuals to stop using plastic straws.

Brooks Boyer, vice president of sales and marketing, said in a White Sox press release: “We are honored to be the first ballpark to take the step of reducing our single-use plastic straws for nearly a full season…”

“The entire Guaranteed Rate Field family – the White Sox, Delaware North and Levy (concession partners) – is proud to collaborate with Shedd to share this important message with our fans and hope it will inspire others to do what they can in their own lives.”

Shults, a former fighter pilot with the U.S. Navy, remained calm and focused as her plane descended with 149 passengers on board the Boeing 737-700.

“Yes sir, we’re single engine, descending, have a fire, number one,” Shults told air traffic control.

The conversation continued for a few minutes as they tried to find Shults an emergency landing location. They agreed on Philadelphia.

“Is your airplane physically on fire?” asked a man with Philadelphia’s arrival sector.

“No it’s not on fire but part of it’s missing,” she calmly replied. “They said there’s a hole and someone went out.”

In the midst of the chaos, Shults successfully completed an emergency landing at the Philadelphia International Airport, sparing the lives of 148 people.

“She has nerves of steel,” passenger Alfred Tumlinson told the Associated Press. “That lady, I applaud her. I’m going to send her a Christmas card — I’m going to tell you that — with a gift certificate for getting me on the ground. She was awesome.”

“The pilot came back to speak to each of us personally,” Diana McBride Self wrote on Facebook with a photo of Shults. “This is a true American Hero. A huge thank you for her knowledge, guidance and bravery in a traumatic situation. God bless her and all the crew.”

Shults grew up in New Mexico, near Holloman Air Force Base. Watching the daily air shows, she knew she had to fly.

“Some people grow up around aviation. I grew up under it,” she said in the book Military Fly Moms.

Shults recalled attending a lecture on aviation during her senior year of high school, in 1979. A retired colonel started the class by asking Shults, the only girl in attendance, “if I was lost.”

“I mustered up the courage to assure him I was not and that I was interested in flying,” she wrote. “He allowed me to stay but assured me there were no professional women pilots.”

Shults was among the first female fighter pilots for the U.S. Navy, according to her alma mater, MidAmerica Nazarene University. She was also among the first women to fly an F/A-18 Hornet for the Navy.

Shults served in the Navy for 10 years.

Now, she flies for commercial airlines. There could not have been a more prepared pilot to handle the emergency landing during the traumatic Southwest flight.

Below is a video of Shults communicating with air traffic control when she realized the plane had lost an engine.

After a late game touchdown sealed Southern California’s victory over Western Michigan on Saturday, September 2, the Trojans trotted on the field for the extra point attempt but this PAT was unlike any before it.

USC head coach Clay Helton called the number of long snapper Jake Olson, and the Sophomore – blind since the age of 12 – delivered a perfect snap.

This is anything but a regular PAT.

— Pac-12 Network (@Pac12Network) September 3, 2017

“I loved being out there,” Olson said following the contest. “It was an awesome feeling, something that I’ll remember forever, getting to snap at USC as a football player.”

The inspirational moment generated cheers from fans at Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum and caught fire on social media with seemingly anyone and everyone giving the young man props including former Trojan and current Green Bay Packers  linebacker Clay Matthews.

That was really cool to see. Jake Olsen, a blind long snapper for USC, with a perfect snap on a PAT. What an inspiration! #fighton

— Clay Matthews III (@ClayMatthews52) September 3, 2017

Olson’s snap was an example of sportsmanship at its best as Western Michigan head coach Tim Lester revealed to USA Today that Helton approached him in the week leading up to the game about the possibility of Olson appearing in the game.

“I give him all the credit,” Lester said. “That’s not an easy conversation. He was just being honest about a player he really cared for. He said he was gonna call every coach and just hope he gets it done. … He was just very nice in asking and he said he understood if I didn’t want to do it. He wasn’t forcing it down my throat, by any means.

“I didn’t think it was a hard decision at all. It was bigger than the game. I was happy to be a part of it.”

To those who follow the USC football program, Olson’s name should be very familiar. Diagnosed with retinoblastoma at birth, Jake batted battled the rare form of eye cancer numerous times until losing his sight when he was twelve.

After catching wind of his story, then-USC head coach Pete Carroll opened his program to Jake and his family. ESPN chronicled his experience with the team in 2009.

The day after his college football debut, Olson reflected in a Twitter post in which he thanked his family, coaches Helton and Carroll and the entire Trojan nation for a moment he’ll never forget.

“It means the world to me knowing that I can and have inspired many through this experience. Fight On!” he wrote.

The Oscar winners each donated $1 million toward emergency and recovery efforts in Texas with DiCaprio shelling out for the United Way Harvey Recovery Fund and Bullock sending financial support to the American Red Cross.

“I’m just grateful I can do it,” said Bullock, who has a home in Austin. “We all have to do our part.”

Bullock also related the humanitarian efforts to the current political divide in the country. “There are no politics in eight feet of water. There are human beings in eight feet of water,” she said in a statement.

Vice president of communications for the Red Cross, Elizabeth Penniman, expressed her gratitude toward Bullock and other celebrities for giving back.

“Massive disasters like Hurricane Harvey create many critical and immediate needs, so we are heartened by donations like this — which allow us to provide immediate shelter, food and comfort to thousands in need,” she said. “The entertainment community has been so supportive to the Red Cross in response to this devastating disaster, and we are so grateful.”

DiCaprio didn’t comment on his donation but United Way Worldwide president and CEO Brian Gallagher did send his thanks.

“We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of Leonardo DiCaprio and his foundation,” said Gallagher. “Responding to Hurricane Harvey requires the best of all of us — and that’s what this gift represents.”

On Tuesday, August 29, first baseman Anthony Rizzo showed why.

During a ribbon cutting at the Lurie Children’s Hospital in Chicago, Rizzo got emotional talking about the culmination of a $3.5 million donation from his Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation.

“Geez,” Rizzo said while fighting back tears during the unveiling ceremony.

“I remember sitting with my mom saying we were going to do this 10 years ago. And it’s just a little step toward our mission but to be able to give back and do this type of work is so much bigger than winning the World Series and doing anything on the baseball field because my family has been through it, there are so many families here going through it. This is as real as it gets in life,” he said.

A cancer survivor himself, Rizzo’s donation went toward the new Anthony Rizzo Family Foundation waiting room. The renovated area is surrounded with Cubs décor, including a Rizzo jersey signed by Lurie patients fighting cancer.

What is charity: water?

Originated in 2006 by Scott Harrison, charity: water works to bring clean and safe drinking water to people in developing countries.

Harrison, a former hard-partying nightclub promoter in New York City, was inspired to start the charity after being exposed to the harsh drinking conditions of the people of Liberia during a two-year mission to Africa with Mercy Ships, an organization of doctors dedicated to helping people of African nations.

“It was really an emotional experience,” Harrison told Bill Simmons in 2016. “My actual job, my volunteer job, was to be the photojournalist and write stories on the impact of these lives.”

Harrison utilized his fan base as a promoter to increase awareness for the plight of the Liberian people.

“I’d been a promoter, I’d just been promoting the wrong thing,” he said. “I was so inspired by the selflessness that I saw and was trying to communicate that to my club list.”

He admitted that there was skepticism about his transformation into a philanthropist but he won people over when he returned home. It was during his second visit to Africa that he took notice of the lack of clean water in the community, especially in the remote rural areas.

“I had never seen people drink from swamps before. Never seen kids drink from rivers,” he told Simmons. “It’s shocking and on a human level. Something inside you just breaks.”

Harrison describes his journey and his passion for helping others in a short film posted on the charity’s website.

Realizing that the filthy water contributed to sickness and inaccessibility lead to death, Harrison took matters into his own hands. Since its launch, charity: water has received support from over a million people to help millions of underserved people in 24 countries around the world including Africa, Asia, Central America, and South America.

charity: water’s mission is just beginning. There are currently 663 million people on the planet lacking access to clean water. Dirty water is responsible for more deaths than anything else in the world.

How does charity: water operate?

Harrison set up charity: water so that 100% of all donations go directly toward funding clean water projects. Overhead costs, such as staff salaries and travel expenses, are covered by private donors.

Using photos and GPS coordinates, supporters are able to track the ways in which their donations help the cause. Plus, water sensors ensure that the clean water continues to flow after the project installation is complete.

Locals led the clean water initiatives and marketing throughout every medium (TV, Twitter, window ads, etc.) brought about awareness and influenced thousands of people to raise money and even sacrifice their birthday presents.

One of those people was Rachel Beckwith.

Rachel’s Wish

Shortly before her ninth birthday, Rachel Beckwith informed her mother that, instead of a wrapped gift, she wanted family and friends to donate $9 to a fundraising campaign to benefit charity: water.

Rachel raised $220. The amount was short of her $300 goal but was helpful nonetheless.

A month after her birthday, Rachel died in an accident after a tractor-trailer smashed into her family’s car. A local news report on her death mentioned her recent charitable campaign and soon donations ballooned from $220 to $1.2 million.

In the five years since her death, donors to Rachel’s campaign started another fundraiser, which brought in $1.7 million. Because of her efforts and the generosity of thousands of donors, 100,000 people got the clean water they so desperately needed.

Celebrity Donors

Among the millions of donors to charity: water, many are famous faces.

Celebrity news favorites, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, donated on their birthdays in 2010 and raised over $109,000. In the years since they’ve continued to support the charity.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith visit charity: water projects in Ethiopia from charity: water on Vimeo.

In Spring 2017, Depeche Mode is slated to go on tour to promote their new album, Spirit, with proceeds going toward charity: water.

“If you don’t know charity: water, you should,” guitarist Martin Gore told Rolling Stone.

“They’re an amazing organization whose goal is to bring clean, safe drinking water to everybody on the planet. On the last tour, with our fans’ help, we were able to raise over $1.4 million for charity:water. Those funds specifically brought clean water to people in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Rwanda.”

Every year the organization puts on a charity: ball at which celebrities such as Seth Meyers and Jessica Biel have served as hosts and raised millions of dollars from donors and corporations.

“Everybody that works there, they are the greatest thinkers with the most out-of-the-box ideas, the energy is unstoppable and never-ending, and it’s fun!” Biel told InStyle in 2011.

For the 2016 event, guests were directly paired with a person across the world so that they could feel the impact they’re making on a more intimate level.

Other celebrity donors include Kristen Bell and Amanda Seyfried.

charity: water’s Yellow Jerry Can & Virtual Reality

Every good charity needs an identifiable image. For charity: water it’s the yellow jerry can.

Prominent on the organization’s website and in marketing campaigns, the jerry can is a reminder of the journey the people (mainly women) of developing countries must go through to find clean water (many times a dangerous and deadly eight-hour trek).

Each year, charity: water aims to create a unique experience for guests at its gala. For example, during a recent charity: ball, guests were asked to participate in The Waterwalk, which simulated a fraction of the distance people walk to find clean water.

Recently, charity: water emphasized the impact it has throughout the world, by putting people in the footsteps of young girl in Ethiopia.

The Source is a short film about 13-year-old Selam who arduous life of collecting water is improved when she and her community get clean water for the first time.

A virtual reality exhibit of The Source was on display in New York City during the summer of 2016 and a 360 version is accessible from the charity: water Facebook page.

The goal of many charities is to one day not be needed.

There is still plenty of work to do but the more clean water that is brought to the people of the world, the closer we come to one day referring to charity: water, and other organizations like it, as a thing of the past.

Matthew Faraci of Dove Channel’s Frankly Faraci recently caught up with members of the troupe who pride themselves on their ability to appeal to adults, children, and families.

“There’s a lot of things that little kids can watch and a lot of things that their parents can watch,” said member Jason Gray.

“But to be like, hey guys, it’s 7 o’clock let’s watch something together that we’ll all find entertaining. I think Hollywood, in particular, isn’t serving that market. And I think it really is a big market,” he added.

‘Scott Sterling’ Goes Viral

Studio C specializes in a wide range of sketch comedy which includes spoofing pop culture staples such as The Walking Dead, and original content like the ‘Scott Sterling’ videos – the first of which went viral in 2016.

“We were focusing on Hunger Games sketches that we did. And then all of the sudden, over night, ‘Scott Sterling’…the numbers were like peaking, and we were like ‘what’s Malaysia so into this for?’ And then all of the sudden it’s like across the world, internationally it’s exploding,” said member Stacey Harkey.

YouTube users and viewers of the show (which airs on BYUtv) weren’t the only one’s catching on to the talented comedians. Faraci caught notice and wanted to delve deeper into their creative process.

“Among young people especially, Studio C is the ‘it’ sketch comedy show to watch. It’s wildly creative, out-of-the-box, laugh-till-you-hurt funny, and yet completely appropriate for the whole family,” Faraci said in a press release for the upcoming third episode of his self-titled show.

“While their ‘Scott Sterling’ soccer sketch brought the group to new heights of fame last year, the growing Studio C audience has been rabidly engaged for years,” he added.

Having Fun with Faith

In addition to being clean, the Studio C cast is strong in their faith and hail from the Divine Comedy troupe at Brigham Young University. Cast member Matt Meese believes that being funny and religious don’t have to be mutually exclusive.

“Let’s take the things that are serious seriously, and things that aren’t serious, let’s not take them seriously,” he told Faraci.

Gray echoed Meese’s sentiments.

“I want to make sure my values that I try to teach to my children, that my parents have taught me that I’m consistent with that with my comedy and in my acting so that the two are never in battle with each other. I don’t think most actors, writers, and comedians have that luxury.”

Funny Females of Studio C

Faraci’s sit down with the cast only included the male portion of the group, but every bit as important to the success of Studio C are the women who bring the funny on a weekly basis and the men weren’t shy about sharing their thoughts on their female castmates.

“They are very gifted,” said Meese.

“We couldn’t do a show without them, but they could do a show without us,” said Gray.

“I think women especially need more examples of strong women especially in comedy where it’s a very male-dominated field, and I think our women carry that torch brilliantly. I know being able to play characters that aren’t just respected because of their bodies or how cute they are or something – funny, solid characters – it does a lot for our culture and for girls everywhere,” said Harkey

The bond between the cast, their strong faith, and behind-the-scenes work ethic are the subject of the documentary, The Laughter Life. Studio C is currently in its seventh season and Frankly Faraci airs on Dove Channel.
