Tucked away in the small town of Castle Rock, Colorado is a basement full of nostalgia. When you walk into Brett Martin’s basement, you’re actually walking into a museum of video game memorabilia. “I think people think I’m nuts, but I also think they recognize the passion,” Martin says. “I am the world record holder for the largest video game memorabilia collection.” Martin was born to be a collector of video game stuff. He shares his birthday with Super Mario. “I was born in 1981, the same year Mario was,” Martin says.His basement is covered from top to bottom, full of figurines and mementos dedicated to video game characters. “I know there’s lots of video game collectors, but there’s not a lot of video game memorabilia collectors,” Martin says. “Which makes my collection pretty unique.” According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Martin was coined the largest collector of video game memorabilia in 2013. “In 2012, I had it appraised. It was around a 0,000,” the collector says. “Now, I’d argue it’s around 0,000 because the value of some of the stuff I bought has really ramped up.” Of course, people like Martin have traveled from all over the world to visit his massive collection. “So, I have a little community of collectors that have found me over the years,” Martin says. “Most of them from other countries.” However, collecting with this kind of passion is so much more. “You have to look inside yourself and realize why you’re doing it,” Martin says. “It comes from preservation, cause there’s so few of them, especially in good conditions. So, a certain part of it is historical, and a certain part of it is nostalgic.”Martin is married with four kids, and said that he hopes his collection could help his family in the future. “Going forward, I realize you can’t take the collection with you,” Martin says. 1855

The year 2018 was a tale of two stories: a year of record-breaking holiday sales and a year of retailers filing for bankruptcy. According to the Mastercard Spending Pulse report, brick and mortar stores saw a 5 percent increase in sales compared to last year. There was a 19 percent increase for online sales. However, it was also year big retailers like Sears filed for bankruptcy, and Toys-R-Us closed its stores. “Weak retailers are closing,” says marketing professor Darrin Duber-Smith. “It just takes them forever to close.” What does this mean for retailers as we head into 2019? “If the retailers that are in trouble--the ones that are kind of running out of cash, the ones that really look like they're going out of business--if they don't have a good holiday season, they're pretty much dead in the water in the first couple of quarters,” Duber-Smith explains. Despite an increase in holiday sales overall, department stores struggled. Sales were reportedly down 1.3 percent this holiday season. J.C. Penny’s stock fell below a share for the first time last week. Lord & Taylor and Saks Fifth Avenue have been shutting down some of their flagship stores, and Nieman Marcus has big debt coming due in 2020 and 2021. Duber-Smith says debt is a make or break. “These brands that are saddled with so much debt aren't able to invest in their companies,” he explains. “They're not able to invest in marketing. They're not able to invest in e-commerce.” E-commerce is key. Online sales growth for department stores grew 10.2 percent, but Amazon is still king when it comes to online retailers. That's why some stores have decided to work with the retail giant. “Best Buy was left for dead,” Duber-Smith explains. “Now, they have a partnership with Amazon where you can try the products in-store and buy it on Amazon. But now, Best Buy get a piece of that action.”Survival for some retailers means finding creative ways to thrive in an ever-changing retail landscape. 1990

The powerful wildfires that have burned millions of acres of land are spreading so much smoke into the sky, NASA said that the smoke has circumnavigated the Earth. NASA said that the NOAA/NASA Suomi NPP satellite detected smoke south of Australia that was carried completely around the world. NASA uses its satellite fleet to detect wildfires, sometimes detecting wildfires in remote areas before officials on the ground. "NASA satellites can show the movement of the smoke across the globe as evidenced above, but other instruments found onboard can give scientists, firefighters, health experts, local government, and others information about what is happening on the ground in real-time," NASA said.Tracking the smoke also allows NASA to detect changes in air quality. Aerosols from wildfire smoke, as well as pollution and volcanic ash, can affect human health. "Aerosols compromise human health when inhaled by people with asthma or other respiratory illnesses," NASA said. "Aerosols also have an affect on the weather and climate by cooling or warming the earth, helping or preventing clouds from forming." 1124

The United States Postal Service (USPS) and their unions continue to raise an alarm about their dire financial situation. According to the USPS officials, they are losing around billion per month amid the COVID-19 pandemic. A recent release said the financial situation is “threatening their ability to operate.”The problemWhile package deliveries are up, business mailings are down, which is how USPS makes most of its money. "It is a dire situation, Mark Dimondstein, president of the American Postal Workers Union, said. "The post office does not run on any tax dollars; it runs on the revenue generated by postage and postal products."Dimonstein says the postal service could run out of money by fall. Bailout? USPS has asked Congress for a billion bailout. While a billion funding package has passed the House, it has so far not passed the US Senate. The American Postal Workers Union has launched a rare television advertisement asking Americans to call Congress. 993
