Plus: Zach Wilson is back on the bench, helping children who witness domestic violence and the Taliban's bans on women's education and work.
Good morning, Utah! Here’s the forecast: ⛅ 19 – 33° in Logan | ❄️ 10% chance 🌥️ 27 – 39° in Salt Lake City ⛅ 31 – 49° in St. George | 💧 20% chance It’s a tired joke, but it’s the time of year where we’re making goals and resolutions that might last until mid-January — if we're lucky. Holly Richardson wrote an opinion piece Tuesday on how to make New Year’s resolutions you’ll actually keep. She writes about the scene in “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” where Alice asks the Cheshire Cat which road she should take, and in return, he asks where she wants to go. She says she doesn’t know, to which he responds, “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.” The one year where I kept all my resolutions was when I kept a bullet journal. I had a clear idea of what I wanted to do and be by the end of the year, and wrote all of it down ahead of time. Throughout the year, I made small goals that built up to the big ones, and I accomplished a lot. Tell me: Do you like to make New Year’s resolutions? What are some of yours for 2023, and do you have any tricks to keep them? Also on our minds: How to help children who witness domestic violence, the U.N. is ‘deeply alarmed’ about the Taliban’s restrictions on women and Zach Wilson is back on the bench. |
| Netflix, Disney+ ... BYUtv? BYUtv beats major streamers to win first national Emmy Award |
|
| | With a history of awarding shows like “Mad Men,” “The Office” and “Game of Thrones,” you wouldn’t guess the Emmy Awards would be honoring family friendly content. This year, however, the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences had a ceremony specifically to honor content for children and families for the first time in its history. BYUtv was up against stiff competition with streaming giants like Netflix and Disney, but nevertheless snagged an award for “The Canterville Ghost” for outstanding makeup and hairstyling. It was the only non-major streamer/network to win an award. | As part of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, the Internal Revenue Service was going to require users of peer-to-peer payment apps like Venmo, PayPal and Cash App to declare their income received from the apps on their taxes. The IRS has now delayed that plan one year in order to clarify taxpayers' concerns. Several members of Congress have brought up concerns that the IRS will treat teenage babysitters and roommates sharing rent the same as they would a small business. Etsy, eBay and other online marketplaces have also lobbied the government to delay the rule because many sellers will have little time to prepare for the change. Learn more here.
