What does this lovely old lady reveal positive messages about student success? Why is her story potentially so powerful?
Nola Ochs is a special lady. So special she appears in the Guinness Book of Records. Back in 2007, Nola Ochs became the world's oldest college graduate when she graduated from Fort Hays State University at the young age of 97. She graduated at the same ceremony as her granddaughter! Not only that, she grabbed her Masters degree at 98 and wrote her first book at 100!
Nola's story is one I enjoy telling students. I told it this year in some assemblies. Her commitment, courage and resilience are no doubt desirable character traits. She embodies the common mantra 'use it or lose it' when it comes to brain plasticity – that is to say, our capacity to rearrange neural pathways and learn new things. This brain plasticity of course varies with age, but the story of Nola Ochs exemplifies the tremendous capacity of the brain. Every child can know that their intelligence isn't fixed.
Now, for a few years Carole Dweck's growth mindset concept had gone down a storm in schools across the globe. Like any popular idea, it can appear in schools as little more than a glossy assembly and a few headline events, having no impact on our students, or even, perversely, having a damaging effect. The problem with growth mindset interventions is a problem for any psychological intervention. It is so easy to get it wrong when the complexity of young people, personality and psychology are involved.
In a research study by David Yeager and Gregory Walton, appropriately named 'Social-Psychological Interventions in Education : They're Not Magic', they indicate that such interventions need to be 'stealthy' and that students shouldn't be told they are undergoing an 'intervention' with the aim of improving their performance. They are also stealthy because they are brief. The effects, subtle and hard to track, may outweigh long-term, significant approaches to growth mindset interventions and the like.
I have written before that I think that students understanding about a 'growth' and 'fixed mindset' has value and there is a series of important messages about intelligence that are helpful to create a successful climate for effort and great learning. Perhaps, though, we need to introduce the concept, then quickly aim for much greater subtly in our approach. Tell the story about Nola indeed. Tell other great stories. They may have a butterfly effect beyond the few minutes it takes in the telling, but they likely won't prove magical. When we do tell these stories we needn't bash students over the head with the language of 'growth mindset', or GRIT or 'character'.
If we don't do this then we risk quickly inspiring little more than boredom and resistance – and that is just the teachers!
Our growth mindset messages can be telling stories like that of Nola Ochs, without ever mentioning Nola possessing growth mindset, or GRIT, or 'character', or whatever else is the favored term for our approach to social-psychological interventions.

The Grossmont Healthcare District is proud to announce the honorees for its 2017 Healthcare Heroes awards. The recipients are unsung volunteers of all ages and walks of life who serve in health care in San Diego's East Region community.
This year's honorees include a camp counselor with a big (and new) heart, a woman who drives seniors to doctor appointments, an 83-year-old man who remains at the bedside of dying hospital patients, a new U.S. citizen from Iraq who helps newly arriving refugees understand the U.S. healthcare system, and a 17-year-old who oversees other youth junior volunteers at Sharp Grossmont Hospital.


Massachusetts-based public power utility Holyoke Gas & Electric is utilizing a PowerSecure distributed generation unit comprised of two natural gas engines to provide backup emergency power for the utility's control center and to help manage peak load demand. The public power utility commissioned the distributed generation unit in late 2015 and the engines, which are placed in a sound-mitigating enclosure, each have a full nameplate rating of 200 kW.
The utility can operate its DG unit to the full rating of 400 kW, or as low as 50 kW, in standby backup power mode for emergency load following, per the requirements of the critical control center, utility operations, and the associated electric on-site requirements. Additionally, HG&E can run the DG unit in Limited Time Power (LTP) paralleling mode at up to 150 kW per engine for a total economic load reduction of 300 kW. The unit can come online fully within just a few minutes and is fully monitored and operated remotely from the utility's control center.
In addition to serving as a backup power source for the control center, the PowerSecure DG unit plays an important role in HG&E's load reduction program. According to Brian Beauregard, the primary mission of HG&E's load reduction program is to operate the DG unit during peak demand periods, or other times of electrical stress, within the ISO-NE region. The DG unit will react based on triggers received from HG&E operators (obtaining signals from HG&E's analysts), which would be similar to how load provides either a market-driven demand response or a voluntary-requested load relief. However, these load reduction activities are deployed out-of-market and respond from a cost perspective, while additionally allowing other contingency ties to local distribution feeders.
Other times, HG&E operators shall turn on the unit(s) based on energy arbitrage analysis, looking at computed DG electric cost based on real-time natural gas cost to determine if the DG is more economical than the real-time market energy price, or alternatively, if there is a large enough spread between the day-ahead and real-time prices that would warrant running the DG to mitigate HG&E's exposure.
Beauregard added, "The PowerSecure team was attentive to detail and overall project readiness.
Beauregard reports that after the first five full months of operation, HG&E successfully has utilized the DG device each month under its Load Reduction Program and with the ease of pushing a button to start and then again later to stop.

Q: Facebook Share Titles Hey this is probably a stupid question. Our organization is currently working on a replatform and we are almost done! At this point we're just fixing tiny bugs, like this one.
If I were to copy/paste this URL into Facebook, it would supply the correct title/description for the article automatically: http://prod-www.startribune.com/isle-royale-wolf-population-plummets-to-three/300340911/
However if I were to copy/paste THIS url into facebook, it would choose the first text it encounters after the start of the section of the page it scrolls to. http://prod-www.startribune.com/isle-royale-wolf-population-plummets-to-three/300340911/#comments
The only difference in the URL's is the addition of #comments to the end.
What I'm wondering, how would I have the #comments URL provide the same title/description that is pulled into facebook that the page does when you go to it sans #comments fragment?
Do I just need to redeclare the meta tags in that part of the page?

A: The issue seems to be that there really isn't an issue. All of the URLs generated for canonical and og:url are pointing to what, ultimately, will be the home for the articles, but currently those URLs don't exist yet. I have a feeling this will be a non-issue once the replatform code goes live.

Chile, Haiti, and "Govinda's Bridge"	March 4, 2010
Posted by Jill S. Schneiderman in Andes, Buddhist concepts, Chile, disasters, earth community, earth cycles, earthquakes, environmental justice, geology, Haiti.
This piece is cross-posted at Shambhala SunSpace.
When I turned as part of my daily practice to today's page of Offerings, a compilation of Buddhist quotations, I read a comment by Lama Anagarika Govinda that registered as particularly meaningful in light of the recent earthquake in Chile:
"A bridge is revealed which connects the everyday world of sense perceptions to the realm of timeless knowledge."
Oddly enough, given the topic of collapsed infrastructure as a result of recent high magnitude earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, a visible viaduct has emerged which connects the agonizing reality of these events to the timeless truth that economically and educationally impoverished people are disproportionately vulnerable to risks posed by life on a dynamic planet.
How is it that these two seismic events in the first quarter of 2010 have together exposed Govinda's bridge?
In order to answer that question we must compare geologically these natural events. Both earthquakes occurred at lithospheric plate boundaries. Geologists have come to expect earthquakes at these locations because such boundaries, which are delineated by earthquakes and often volcanism, are the relatively flexible seams that connect pieces of comparatively inflexible crust comprising the skin of the earth. When rigid crust moves, it releases energy stored in the rocks causing them to break abruptly. This is a fundamental geological reality that all human beings must understand, as a starting point, if we are to lessen the catastrophic human consequences that follow from such natural events. Both temblors were massive — Chile magnitude 8.8 , Haiti 7.0. In fact, the Chilean event ranks among the largest quakes ever measured.
A substantial geological difference between the Chile and Haiti tremors was that the former originated deep in the Earth's crust, 35 km, while the latter one had a shallow focus, 13 km. The difference in the depth of the rupture relates to the type of plate boundary at each site — sideways sliding in Haiti versus downward thrust in Chile. And though to the geologically uninitiated the difference between 8.8 and 7.0 may seem negligible, the Richter scale is logarithmic, not linear, and that means that the Chilean quake was substantially stronger than the Haitian one. These geological details beg the human question, why do the numbers of Haitian deaths and catastrophic injuries eclipse Chilean ones?
The answer to the question has socioeconomic, rather than geologic roots. An adage well known to geologists reads, "Earthquakes don't kill people, buildings do." Many Chileans were spared crush-injuries and death because Chile constructed quake-resistant buildings after experiencing a 9.5 magnitude earthquake in 1960. In this recent event, buildings shook but did not collapse into stacks of flattened concrete, minimizing the chance that Chileans might be killed or trapped inside them. Too, the Chilean quake struck near Concepcion, a region of much lower population than Port-au-Prince.
We can build earthquake-resistant structures with adequate know-how and financial resources. Concrete, a common and relatively strong masonry material consists of cement — primarily heated limestone that is finely ground and mixed with the mineral gypsum—that binds together sand and gravel. But concrete doesn't stretch or extend very well when stressed by shearing horizontal forces. It can be reinforced with steel bars or pre-stressed for use as an earthquake-resistant building material. Other elements of an earthquake resistant building include a good-quality foundation and high quality cement.
Living on land prone to shift, Chileans endure constant reminders of the need to utilize high quality building materials and enforce strict building regulations. Haitians also receive portentous jolts. But Chile, not Haiti, is one of the most earthquake-ready countries in South America, Central America and the Caribbean. Why are buildings in Chile more stable than those in Haiti? While 98% of Chileans are literate and 18% of the population lives in poverty, the respective numbers for Haiti are 53% and 80%. These numbers may explain why Haitians have used brittle steel without ribbing and poor quality cement to hold together concrete. And using cement too sparingly for mortar between concrete blocks or in the production of the concrete itself reduces the earthquake resistance of the structure built with it. In Haiti inferior building materials and poor building practices have been replicated from the foundation up. As a result, the Haitian earthquake left more than 200,000 people dead, nearly one million people homeless, and an indeterminate amount of pain and anguish; in Chile we may hope that the death toll will not reach four digits.
When we examine a geologic map of the world, an unfortunate reality becomes clear: the earth's most populous cities exist along plate boundaries. Plate boundaries coincide with shorelines and sources of water hence our earliest civilizations arose there and grew to be villages and towns. Today large population centers in places like Tehran and Istanbul are disasters waiting to happen. Though geologists cannot predict when an earthquake will occur, we can forecast, in decades-wide windows, the inevitability of such events. Haphazardly constructed communities in vulnerable mega-cities put millions of people at risk for the suffering that ensues after a large earthquake in a poorly prepared region. The Buddha taught that suffering is endless yet one must vow to end it. Anyone who subscribes to this principle must reject as unacceptable the disproportionate vulnerability of the poor and under-educated to the earth's perpetual processes.

Hi, Marya,
This is a terrific article. Thanks for sharing it with me!

Sitting in my living room, I watched the fog descend like a slow curtain after the final act of a play. Removing distant characters from my view, it reminded me to focus intently on those right in front of me. The close-up, high-up pines. The columbine pushing through the ground (too soon, probably). While I couldn't see many of the far away objects, I could still hear a few, like the woodpecker performing an exercise in futility by persistently pecking at the metal roof of our shed.
During the foggy times of life, we may not be able to see, but we can hear and trust that what we can't see is still there.
In light of this, I have some good things (with affiliate links) I'd love to share with you. Some of these good things are helping me see through the foggy times of friendship, parenting, and well, life as I settle into trust rather than fear. Others I included simply because because they're recently discovered favorites of mine. May you enjoy investigating all of them!
Never Unfriended: The Secret to Finding and Keeping Lasting Friendships by Lisa-Jo Baker This book, releasing April 4th, is available for preorder right now (with many *free* preorder goodies including a super cute clip frame featured in the pic above!) and is for anyone who has felt on the outside and wanting to be "in." In today's social media world where a simple touch of the finger can mean we're "unfriended," it's easy to question our belonging-ness more than ever before. Never Unfriended is written by Lisa-Jo Baker, one phenomenal writer whose kind, I've-been-there words will make you feel like she is sitting next to you on the sofa as you read. Still this book offers more than an understanding friend who can identify with your friendship struggles. Lisa-Jo presents personal stories and practical tips to help you make the friends, and be the friend, that lasts. Lisa-Jo is a dear, treasured friend of mine, and I know she's a woman who lives the truth she shares. She walks the walk in every sense.
Everyone is on the outside of something, but the good news is we're all on the inside of something–often without even realizing it. This is the hopeful message Lisa-Jo shares within Never Unfriended. Read more about Never Unfriended right here.
The Jubilee: Poems by John Blase As an author I get many books sent to me, but I paid for this book with my own money because I adore anything John Blase writes. Heck, even his facebook posts are some of my favorite things to read, and I've told him as much. John is known as the cowboy of the internet, and any cowboy who writes poetry is a winner in my book!
One endorser of The Jubilee writes, "In Jubilee, the poet's vision is rooted firmly in ordinary life: cashmere and cleavage, a jar of olives, the "mobile home" of our flesh. His gentle, winsome poems, laced liberally with a lifetime of Scripture, offer his readers a refreshing glimpse into all things God–and good." ~ Joy Roulier Sawyer.
John's poetry has a way of clarifying the world for me, and I'm so thankful it's now bound in a real deal book.
Sacred Parenting: How Raising Children Shapes Our Souls by Gary Thomas Two of my babies will be graduating high school in 2018. Y'all, I can barely type the words and not feel my emotions well-up over it. To be sure, this season of parenting is a tender, bittersweet time. It's also a time of prayer and anticipation and trust for what the Lord has in store for their futures. And as I pray for them, this book has been a sweet companion as I think about the marathon that is parenting and how to continue running the race well.
Whether you have big kids like me or littles running around, Sacred Parenting will help you see the big picture of what the Lord is doing in you and through you as a parent.
First Women: The Grace and Power of America's Modern First Ladies by Kate Andersen Brower My Grandma Rea used to love reading political biographies and other nonfiction works, and my favorite books of hers to borrow were those about America's First Ladies. I cannot overstate how much I love a good backstory, and First Women provides excellent backstory on the first ladies from Jacqueline Kennedy to Michelle Obama. I especially appreciated how the author shares the strengths and weaknesses of each First Lady in a way that isn't sensationalized or stereotyped. I finished this book seeing these women as women who like the rest of us are flawed but by and large did the best they could where they were. And the reality of where they were was in a highly pressured, heavily scrutinized public role that few can relate to. Still, I felt I could identify with parts of the personalities of each of these ladies. I loved First Women, and I think my grandma would have too.
Shop Fancy Free: I don't know how I first discovered this darling online shop, but I'm so glad I did. Owned and operated by a Texas mom and her 3 daughters, clothing here is super cute and more affordable than any online store I've found. Plus their stuff looks as great on 40+ something gals like me as it does on the young'uns. Plus shipping is free all the time! Yeehaw! And if you follow them on instagram, you'll find out about their sales which (lucky for us) happen frequently!
Boxwood & Barn Doors: This link kind of favors the local folks as Boxwood & Barn Doors is a brick and mortar store in Castle Rock, Colorado. I confess I have yet to visit the store, but oh how I want to visit! In the meantime, I'm happy getting lost in the store's instagram feed. It's heavy on vintage farmhouse style with a side of Colorado living, and I. love. it.
The Strongs are on spring break, so I'll be spending the next several days largely offline. As always, you can still find me on instagram, the only part of social media that doesn't deplete or drain me. (I'm especially looking at you, facebook.) Amen.
God bless and keep you dear ones! Much love.
Thanks for the ideas. Never Unfriended is a good read. I've read quite a bit. Lisa-Jo is a fantastic writer. I will check out some of the other feeds also.
Have a great Spring Break with family Rest up!
I do a happy exhale every time I see a new blog post from you in my email.
You said: "During the foggy times of life, we may not be able to see, but we can hear and trust that what we can't see is still there." I can so relate to that in my life right now. Thank you for sharing your journey with us and helping me in mine. Enjoy your Spring Break!

Vin Diesel Will Star in Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots Movie
Hollywood studios' release calendars are looking more and more like Toy Story; just tons of classic children's toys coming to life, one after the other.
The toy company Mattel already has movies in development based on brands like Hot Wheels, Barney, Magic 8 Ball, Masters of the Universe, the card game Uno, and even Barbie, which is being co-written by Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach. To that to that extensive list we can now add the 50-year-old fighting game Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots, which is coming from Universal Studios and actor/producer Vin Diesel and his One Race Films production company.
Before you make any jokes about whether Diesel will be playing the blue robot or the red robot, we already know that the answer is neither. (Besides, Diesel already played the definitive rock 'em sock 'em robot in The Iron Giant.) According to the press release from Mattel, the film "follows a father and son who form an unlikely bond with an advanced war machine."
Here was Diesel's comment on the news, via that press release:
To take the classic Rock 'Em Sock 'Em game, with Mattel as my partner, and align it with the kind of world building, franchise making success we have had with Universal, is truly exciting.
By the way, did you know the robots in the original game have names? They do; it's the Red Rocker and the Blue Bomber. (The game, which debuted in 1966, is also apparently inspired by an arcade boxing game.) I can't wait to find out which of those two advanced war machines form an unlikely bond with Vin Diesel and his son.

2020 Bentley Flying Spur is the Fastest Sedan Ever at 207 Mph
Man of Many, 28 Jun 2019
When it comes to naming conventions, Bentley didn't actually mean that their new Flying Spur can fly. Bentley's new 2020 Flying Spur is a four-door sedan that tops out at over 200 miles per hour. That top speed comes courtesy of a 626 horsepower turbocharged 12-cylinder engine. The Flying Spur hits 60 miles per hour from 0 in just 3.7 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 207 miles per hour. According to Road & Track, the Flying Spur is the fastest production sedan (BMW's Alpina B7 comes in second with a top speed of 205 miles per hour).
This is the first ground-up redesign of the Flying Spur since 2005. Using the same MSB platform as the Continental GT and the Porsche Panamera, the Flying Spur comes replete with new tech and luxury. The Flying Spur measures 212.8 inches long, slighter longer than previous models, and 77.3 inches wide, about half an inch thinner than before. The wheelbase also changes, adding 5.1 inches to the length. That extra length goes directly into the cabin, making it even more luxurious. The center console features a rotating panel that displays three old-fashioned gauges when parked but rotates to a foot-wide high definition computer screen when the car starts. You can also opt to have it rotate to a wood panel that blends with the rest of the dash. When it comes to handling, the Flying Spur is all-wheel-drive with all-wheel-steering, so low or high speed, you have plenty of control.

Date September 7, 2016
Scholarships can change lives. Just ask Dick Harp, our OLLI director. He shares some personal experiences of witnessing lives being empowered and reinvented — and their success is contagious.
A few months ago, I had two pleasant experiences within a few days of each other. The first was a graduation for students who had taken a welding class at the local college. The second was a graduation of sorts for people who had taken a course in bridge playing. Both involved individuals over 50 years of age. The first involved a man who had dropped out of school when he was young. The second involved a woman who was widowed shortly after she moved to our area. The man held many short-lived jobs which paid minimum wage or slightly above. The woman had not yet made any friends when her husband was killed in a freak accident. Both wanted to take classes to improve their lives but were financially unable to pay the fees attached to their respective classes.
Dick Harp, OLLI director
Over a year ago, a fellow parishioner asked me to join a group of individuals who wanted to help people take classes to better their lives. After several meetings, and with the help of two attorneys in our group, we established a 501(c)(3) endowment fund which could be used to help people such as the two previously mentioned. The donations are tax deductible. The response from our citizens was gratifying and we began to receive donations. The two aforementioned graduates were the recipients of scholarships made possible due to the fund. The male is now employed as a welder by a ship building company in Mobile, Alabama. The woman is now playing bridge three times a week. We helped change their lives for the better!
Preparing the Way
A few years ago, an endowment fund was created at KSU to provide scholarships for those who could not afford classes. The fund was named in honor of Barbara S. Calhoun, dean of our KSU College of Continuing and Professional Education, in recognition of the her guidance in making CCPE one of the best, if not the best, continuing education programs in the country. OLLI is housed within CCPE. I am asking you to consider making a donation to this endowment fund to help individuals take advantage of our classes in an effort to help improve their lives. No donation is too small and all are tax deductible.
If you choose to join our journey in changing lives, make your check payable to:
Kennesaw State University Foundation
Please indicate your donation is for the "Barbara S. Calhoun Endowment Fund." Your generous donation can be mailed to:
Sandra Cobb
3333 Busbee Drive MD3301
The scholarships are confidential and recipients will not be known. Thank you for your consideration.
Hope to see you in class soon.

Grabbing the hair above the ears twist up and back, add the hair travelling to the back of the head, twist them and take help of bobby pins.
Use your finger to mess them a bit, too secure the rest of the hair use hair pins if they are falling apart.
Spray the hair or you can use a hair serum so that you don't have to get trouble gathering the moving hair through out the day.


On World Autism Awareness Day, our Nation recognizes all those around the globe who live on the autism spectrum. We celebrate the countless ways they strengthen our communities and enrich our world -- and we reaffirm their fundamental rights to participate fully in society, live with respect, and achieve their greatest potential.
In the United States, millions of adults and young people live with autism spectrum disorder, including 1 out of every 68 children. They are our colleagues, classmates, friends, and loved ones, and they each have something to contribute to the American story. In large cities and small towns, individuals with autism live independent and productive lives, and our Nation is better because of their unique talents and perspectives. Their example reminds us that all people have inherent dignity and worth, and that everyone deserves a fair shot at opportunity.
The greatness of our Nation lies in the diversity of our people. When more Americans are able to pursue their full measure of happiness, it makes our Union more perfect and uplifts us all. Today, let us honor advocates, professionals, family members, and all who work to build brighter tomorrows alongside those with autism. Together, we can create a world free of barriers to inclusion and full of understanding and acceptance of the differences that make us strong.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 2, 2015, World Autism Awareness Day. I encourage all Americans to learn more about autism and what they can do to support individuals on the autism spectrum and their families.

Meet the Scientist Q & A: Benjamin C. Kinney, Ph.D.
From time to time I'll be conducting interviews and/or Q & A's with scientists from around the world in the blog's new Meet the Scientist series. We'll discuss current research, the state of science in general, and anything else of interest that might pop up. First up: Dr. Benjamin Kinney!
Dr. Benjamin C. Kinney has a Ph.D. in Neuroscience and is a neuroscientist at Washington University in St. Louis. He is also the Assistant Editor for the science fiction podcast Escape Pod. He writes science fiction and fantasy, and his short stories have been published in Strange Horizons, Flash Fiction Online, Cosmic Roots & Eldritch Shores, and more. You can find more of his writing at http://benjaminckinney.com or follow him on Twitter @BenCKinney, where he explains neuroscience concepts on his weekly #NeuroThursday feature.
Doug: Thanks for your time, Dr. Kinney! So, what got you into science?
Ben: I started like so many scientists did: with science fiction. This goes back into the mists of childhood memories for me. For as long as I can remember, I've always been driven by that sense of wonder and discovery. I ended up in neuroscience because it's the biggest mystery of all: both impossibly vast, and impossibly personal.
Doug: What does your research focus on and what have you found?
Ben: I study how the brain and body change after injury to the hand and arm. In the past, I've worked with amputees and hand transplant patients (and cyborg monkeys), but now I work with people who've suffered nerve injuries. I'm particularly interested in handedness: how can it change and what can we do for patients whose dominant hands get injured. I'm just starting up a big study to compare laboratory measurements of hand function with how patients use their hands in their daily life. Hopefully we'll be able to figure out which of those lab measurements have a real impact on patients' quality of life. Once we do, we'll be able to use therapy, training, and neuro-stimulation to improve the kinds of movement that matter most.
Doug: Are there any misconceptions in your field of work or in neuroscience at large?
Ben: Neuroscience is very complex, which means it can get oversimplified. I could talk all day about public misconceptions of neuroscience, but here's one that ties directly into my own work: the idea that a person can be "left-brained" or "right brained" is complete bunk. The two sides of the brain are specialized for different skills, but you're not "good at left-side things" or "good at right-side things." You're good at some things and not others – and it makes no difference whether those things are on the same side or opposite sides.
Doug: What's one big question in the field that you'd like to see answered in your lifetime?
Ben: Every human being's brain is different. Different folds and valleys, different networks of cells. What I want to know is: How much does that matter? There are so many problems, both scientific and medical, that we can't address right now because of how much the brain varies from person to person. If we could predict or interpret that variation – for example, if we knew that certain neuroanatomical patterns affected an individual's response to a psychiatric drug – we could understand and accomplish so much more.
Doug: How might we get more of the public to engage in science discussions?
Ben: I think the trick will be to get people thinking about science and scientists as part of everyday life, not just something that strange weirdos do in a mysterious basement laboratory. When I go to parties and people say, "I've never met a neuroscientist!", I say, "Why not? Neuroscientists are everywhere. I'm surrounded by them every day!"
We're living in different worlds – an inevitable part of how we as Americans so often structure our lives around work. But I think we need to pierce some holes in that to make science feel less like a mystery cult and more like something anyone can access.
Doug: You were recently brought on board as an editor at Escape Pod, congratulations! Any advice on how to approach incorporating hard science into science fiction or genre writing?
Ben: Remember that the science is there to support and inspire the story, not the other way around. If you want to write about a new piece of science or technology, I recommend focusing less on what it does, and more on what it means to people and their lives.
Doug: Do you incorporate your research interests into your writing?
Ben: Usually indirectly. I write across a broad spectrum of science fiction and fantasy, and a fair amount of it draws indirectly from my neuroscience training. I have strong opinions about human decision-making, artificial intelligence, and alien minds – whether scientific or fantastic! But every now and then I do produce a story that draws directly from my work. The most neuroscientific thing I've published is a silly little story called "Cyborg Shark Battle (Season 4, O'ahu Frenzy)" in the Cat's Breakfast Anthology from Third Flatiron Press. In graduate school I used brain-machine interfaces to study how the monkey brain controls movement and Cyborg Shark Battle applies that technology for entertainment and profit in the realm of reality TV.
Doug: Running a lab can require a lot of funding and I imagine you spend a lot of time grant writing. I know that writing scientific grants and writing fiction can be different processes. As a writer of science fiction, how do you balance the two?
Ben: Sadly, the answer is "triage." There are only so many hours in the day, so I try to use them for productive things. Thankfully "reading" is productive to a writing career, so I have ways to relax, but I've probably watched only 3-4 television shows in the last five years. I also sent my wife to Mars for a year, that gave me a ton of extra writing time! I recommend it for everyone.
Doug: Can you recommend any good books about neuroscience?
Ben: Fiction or nonfiction? I'll go with fiction, because unless you count peer-reviewed research publications, I don't read non-fiction in my own field – I'm the wrong audience. My favorite neuroscience-focused science fiction books are Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, and Blindsight by Peter Watts. Ancillary Justice's science is subtle, but the novel is permeated by a deep understanding of neurological disorders and cognitive science. Blindsight is more explicit about its neuroscience and it wraps a fascinating argument into an excellent (and terrifying) story, so I always recommend it even though I wildly disagree with it.
Doug: Thank you so much for taking the time to answers questions about your science and writing!

Baden är en stadskommun i det österrikiska förbundslandet Niederösterreich. Staden är belägen 26 km söder om Wien där floden Schwechat rinner ut i Wienerbäckenet. På grund av sina starka svavelkällor var Baden bad- och kurort redan under romartiden.

Historia
Badens termalkällor utnyttjades redan under romartiden. Orten kallades för Aquae (sv. vatten) under kejsar Claudius tid (41 – 54 e.Kr.) som visar på ortens betydelse som badort.

869 omnämndes orten på nytt som Padun, som då var säte för en karolingisk pfalz. Baden fick stadsrättigheter år 1480. Staden försvagades av de osmanska krigen när den härjades i samband med belägringarna av Wien 1529 och 1683, reformationens och motreformationens virrvarr, pestutbrottet 1713 och den stora branden 1714.

När kejsar Frans I förlade sin sommarresidens till Baden mellan 1796 och 1834 och aristokrati och penningadel följde efter kom uppsvinget. Efter en stor stadsbrand 1812 återuppbyggdes staden i Biedermeierstil efter ritningar av Joseph Kornhäusl. Under sin blomstringstid under första hälften av 1800-talet vistades där många kulturpersonligheter som tonsättarna Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert och författarna Grillparzer och Raimund. Baden förblev viktig kurort och sommarstad fram tills idag.

Mot slutet av andra världskriget förstördes många byggnader i en stor bombattack. Mellan 1945 och 1955 var Baden den sovjetiska ockupationsmaktens högkvarter. Efter det återuppbyggdes staden och förnyades den turistiska infrastrukturen.

Stadsbild och sevärdheter
Baden är trädgårdsstad präglad av klassicism och biedermeier. Den gamla staden är belägen kring torget Hauptplatz. På Hauptplatz står den barocka trefaltighetskolonnen, en pestkolonn från 1714. Där finns även det klassicistiska rådhuset och Hofkirche, även den i klassicistisk stil. Vid Josephsplatz söder om Hauptplatz står de två klassicistiska badhusen Frauenbad och Josefsbad. Öster om Hauptplatz ligger stadsteatern i jugendstil och den gotiska stadskyrkan med barock interiör.

Norr om den gamla staden ligger den stora kurparken med klassicistiska och historistiska byggnader och många monument och minnesmärken. Mot Helenental sträcker sig trädgårdsstaden med många 1800-talsvillor. Vid stadens utkant där Helental börjar står två borgruiner på klippor högt över floden Schwechat: Rauheneck och Rauhenstein.

Museer
Rollettmuseum, Badens stadsmuseum
Kaiser-Franz.Josephmuseum, hantverks- och folkkonstmuseum
Beethovenhaus, där Beethoven bodde 1821-23 och skrev större delen av den nionde symfonin.
Dock- och leksaksmuseum

Näringsliv
Badens näringsliv domineras av tjänstesektorn (82% av alla sysselsatta). Turism är med mer än en halv miljon gästnätter per år av stor betydelse. Vidare är Baden en viktig servicestad för regionen.

Kommunikationer
Baden ligger vid sydbanan och är ändstation för Badenerbanan som förbinder staden med Wien.

I Baden korsar riksvägarna B210 och B212 varandra. Anslutningen till motorvägen A2 är ca 6 km utanför Baden.

Sport
I staden avgjordes världsmästerskapen i bordtennis i januari-februari 1933.

Behind the Scenes of the 'Biggest...
Behind the Scenes Stuff, Biggest Loser
Behind the Scenes of the 'Biggest Loser' Season 12 Finale & After Party!
December 16, 2011 by The Ashley
Another season of The Biggest Loser wrapped up on Tuesday night, with John Rhode being named the winner at the end of the night. (The Ashley predicted he would win before the season even began, as you might remember. That's because she's the best!)
Anyway, The Ashley spent Tuesday night creeping around the 'Biggest Loser' finale and after party to get you guys the inside scoop of what these finales are actually like. Here are my observations from that night:
Finale Taping:
Someone has to say it: was this not the worst 'Biggest Loser' finale ever? For the first time ever, producers decided to introduce the contestants in groups of four and then only allow one from each group suit up into their 'Biggest Loser' spandex suits and get on the scale. Um…whose bright idea was this? The Ashley felt so bad for the contestants who got cheated out of their moment in the spotlight.
The best part of watching these finales is getting to see how far the contestants have come from when they started the season. I love seeing the 'before' photos and then seeing the contestants burst throught them, skinny and confident. For some of the contestants, such as poor Jessica Limpert, they didn't even announce how much weight was lost.
The Ashley wasn't the only one that thought this was a terrible idea. Several of the contestants were upset that they were robbed of their big moment.
Other things of interest:
Anna Kournikova was basically ignored throughout the whole taping. Even during the commercial break, she didn't talk very much. It didn't seem like she wanted to be there. (She did, however, insist on fixing her own makeup during the commercials, rather than let the makeup lady do it.)
The studio is not as big as it seems. The audience is actually quite small, compared to some of the tapings I've been to.
The audience was not really feeling John at all. Every time his competitors, Ramon and Anton, were announced or discussed, the crowd erupted in cheers. However, the cheers for John were noticeable less. (The Ashley cheered for him loudly. She felt bad for him, and he had lost a ton of weight and deserved it. People are crapnuggets sometimes.)
A ton of the past contestants show up for these finales. I would say at least 30 previous contestants attended this one, which I think is really cool.
I saw Bob Harper eat pizza. I told him it made me feel good to see that even Bob eats a slice once in a while.
The Ashley is in love with Dolvett Quince and made an "I Love Dolvett" sign. Dolvett was so excited to see a sign for him in the crowd that during a commercial break, he ran up and gave The Ashley a hug. I pretty much melted right there.
Click on the photo to enlarge it!
Ramon & Jessica: So Cute!
After Party:
This year's after party was stale. No one was boozing it up or doing anything scandalous. Naturally, Anna Kournikova did not grace the after party with her presence, but Dolvett and host Allison Sweeney were there and were both very sweet.
The contestants from this year were actually all very nice. (Sometimes these people get a big head because they were on TV and aren't very nice.) Every single contestant that The Ashley spoke with was incredibly sweet, especially Vinny Hickerson, Ramon Meideros and Jessica Limpert.
Speaking of Ramon and Jessica….they are pretty much the cutest reality TV couple I've seen in a while. Both of them were beaming ear to ear the entire night and you can see that they are so happy to have found each other. Both of their families seem to love the other and I think this couple will be headed down the aisle soon enough!

I understand where your coming from for sure, I just got defensive on Ashley's behalf because unlike most gossip/spoiler sites, her articles are accurate 🙂 I didn't even notice the "gypped" comment myself nor would I have known it was a racist comment. So thanks for teaching me something as well!
to the*
@Lisa….and The Ashley
I'm sorry, but obviously she didn't know it was a "racist" comment to and Romani culture. So maybe next time instead of calling her out and calling her a "so called journalist" maybe you could polietly let her know……just saying.
Yes, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out. I feel pretty passionate about social justice issues and feel like it's a journalist's responsibility to be aware of such issues, as well, especially when it's such a large forum, like social media. My reply was pretty snarky and, admittedly, not the best approach.
@Lisa No need to apologize, you're right; as a journalist that's something I should have learned a long time ago! 😉
Cielo F Babie says:
hahaha i love that you guys keep calling her a journalist. hilarious
Haha The Ashley's been a professional journalist for nearly 10 years…
Your use of the term "gypped" in the article is incredibly racist and disparaging against those of the Rromani culture. As a so-called journalist, this is something you should be aware of.
@Lisa The Ashley learned something new today…I've never heard this before and am sad to say that I use that expression in real life all the time, never knowing that it was in fact racist! I looked it up and you are correct. Because of this, I am changing it in the story. The Ashley never wants to come across as racist, because she is not. Thanks for letting me know. <3
Thanks very much for making that change. I apologize for my cattiness (although I do appreciate your cattiness on your blog) and appreciate you taking the high road!
THANKS! and i agree the finale was lame. I love seing everyone step on the scale. Biggest surprise of the night was when Jennifer won the at home prize -good for her, it was totallly deserved.
And John deserved his win but I would have rather seen Ramon or Antone win
Great Re-cap cant wait for next season
I can appreciate that John lost a lot of weight…but he was a HUGE ass hat and I don't think he treated his wife well either when he came home with his "She's gonna work, take care of the family and I am going to work out". I was disappointed he won. I really wanted Antone or Ramon.
You have NO idea how jealous I am that Dolvett gave you a hug…..SO JEALOUS!

Intercollegiate athletic programs claim to develop a variety of skills in their athletes, but how do we really know that this is occurring as a result of the athlete's participation? Through the review of past studies this study will seek to identify what leadership skills are gained as a result of participation in an intercollegiate athletic program. In addition, the study will examine the influence that these leadership skills have had on the development and growth of former athletes beyond college. Senge's (1990) learning organization, Astin's (1993) theory of involvement, and Brungardt's (1996) theory of leadership development provide the theoretical frameworks for this study. Experiences in situational leadership, application to challenges posed, and through the use of purposeful simulations, athletes are able to develop their leadership skills (Astin, 1993; Brungardt, 1996; Senge, 1990). Kanter's (2006) confidence provided the guiding leadership framework, as well as identified the specific skills of confidence, accountability, collaboration, and initiative, which were the specific leadership skills, focused on during this study. Former college basketball players will be interviewed for the study. This study expanded upon the literature regarding leadership skills in college, as well as address the development of leadership skills directly or indirectly taught to college athletes. An analysis of how leadership skills have translated into and enhanced the participant's life after college will enable institutions of higher education to evaluate and assess their athletic programs to better determine if they are providing opportunities for leadership development in their student athletes.

Q: ipvlan L3 docker can't ping host I was playing with ipvlan_mode=l3 by following the tutorial on docker github repo
https://gist.github.com/nerdalert/28168b016112b7c13040#ipvlan-l3-mode-example-usage
After running the commands my host and docker are not able to ping each other.
However two containers on diffrent subnets using the same parent iface are able to ping.
Commands :
docker network  create  -d ipvlan \
--subnet=192.168.214.0/24 \
--subnet=10.1.214.0/24 \
 -o ipvlan_mode=l3 ipnet210

# Test 192.168.214.0/24 connectivity
$ docker run --net=ipnet210 --ip=192.168.214.10 -itd alpine /bin/sh
$ docker run --net=ipnet210 --ip=10.1.214.10 -itd alpine /bin/sh

# Test L3 connectivity from 10.1.214.0/24 to 192.168.212.0/24
$ docker run --net=ipnet210 --ip=192.168.214.9 -it --rm alpine ping -c 2 10.1.214.10

# Test L3 connectivity from 192.168.212.0/24 to 10.1.214.0/24
$ docker run --net=ipnet210 --ip=10.1.214.9 -it --rm alpine ping -c 2 192.168.214.10

Is there anything I'm missing ?
Thank in advance

A: You need to setup a static route on the host or upstream router to get a connection between host and docker subnet as mentioned in the documentation, end of the chapter:

In order to ping the containers from a remote Docker host or the container
be able to ping a remote host, the remote host or the physical network in
between need to have a route pointing to the host IP address of the
container's Docker host eth interface.

For example (referenced to the picture) you have to create a route which point all traffic to subnet 172.16.20.0/24 to gateway 192.168.50.10/24.

A: I found this Q after reading about ipvlan l3 driver here

*

*https://docs.docker.com/network/ipvlan/#ipvlan-l3-mode-example
And I see the same behavior on ubuntu 18.04 and ubuntu 20.04, both with:

*

*kernel 5.4.0-96-generic

*docker-ce 20.10.12
I assume it's by design like this that host can't even see those new networks with ip r
I would be very interested to hear how external connectivity for containers should work, in docs (link above) it's not explained, just simple picture without any details...not helpful at all.

Comments: Packaging claims mixes are unique to this disc and are not duplicated on any other Floyd remix CD.
The majority of this CD has synths and keyboards in the fore while sampling from the original songs appear mostly in the background. It has a strange psychedelic feel to it with eerie repetitive lyrics and multiple sample overlays but the synths do become repetitive at times. I'd recommend buying it if it isn't too expensive and if you don't find the whole idea of tampering with these songs blasphemous in the first place. -DSJ

Review: Dungeon Mayhem
December 11, 2018 Dread Gazebo Board & Card Games, Dungeons and Dragons (D&D), Reviews 0
Dungeon Mayhem is a competitive card game for 1-4 players, and while the box says ages 8+ I'm going to wager you could bump that down to 7+. The game features the unique and energetic artistic style of artist Kyle Ferrin (Root, Dungeon World) and manages to perfectly capture the youthful and playful tone the game does so well mechanically. Each deck represents one adventurer, there is a paladin, a barbarian, a rogue, and a wizard so that covers the "core 4" rpg archetypes, although they are all really damage focused due to the competitive nature of the game.
The gameplay is light and simple, but complex enough that you'll usually want to go back for another game or two, and requires almost zero setup. Another great thing is that there's no nuance needed for D&D, you could play Dungeon Mayhem with your Grandma, and I highly recommend you do. The core mechanic each turn you must draw and play a card from your hand. Each player's character has 10 hp, and the last one standing will be declared the winner, games last about 5-15 minutes.
There are five types of cards: attack (crossed swords), defense (shield), draw (card), healing (heart), play again (lightning bolt). The attack and defense cards are exactly what you'd expect, respectively dealing and mitigating 1 damage for each symbol shown. The shield cards are played and left out in front of you like creatures summoned in MtG. Hearts of course heal lost health, and the play again cards let you play 1 extra card for each one shown. You need to be careful when using these energy cards though because if you spend too many you may find yourself with a nearly, or completely empty hand. Which puts your options to a minimum, especially since you must play 1 card every turn. A good way to counteract that is by playing the draw cards, which allow you to draw extra cards for each symbol when played. This can help you stock up your hand, as there is no hand-size limit.
The shields come in the form of spells, henchmen, monsters, and gear but it's all simply flavor as there are no unique rules for each type unless a card has a special ability that says otherwise. In a 2 player game it's obvious who is going to be the target of your attacks, but in multiplayer games it's more of a free for all, which is fine, but if you're playing with folks who like to single out certain people – the game may breed arguments (see: sinister siblings, quarrelsome cousins, fragile friends, etc.)
Each character has at least 2 special abilities referred to as Mighty Powers, these are represented by various unique icons on some of their cards that are keyed and explained on each character's quick reference sheet. These come up rather infrequently for obvious reasons, as they can completely change the tides for a player. I won't go over them all here but we'll use the rogue, Oriax the Clever, as an example. Because rogues, that's why, gentle reader.
Oriax's mighty powers are: destroying a defense card in play, stealing the top card from any player's deck and playing it as his own (pickpocket), and disallowing any of his opponents cards from effecting him until his next turn (clever disguise).
Production values are what you'd expectfrom WotC. Card qualty is pretty good, the art is great, and the cardboard tokens serve perfectly considering the price point, although I'd really have preferred a translucent cube to track my health, but that's just because I love translucent cubes, my dudes. Mechanically there isn't a ton going on, but there doesn't need to be, but there's certainly enough to build a little tension and work in a few 'gotcha' moments. Also, the flavor text of some of the abilities such as 'even more daggers' or 'all of the axes' are chuckle-worthy. I've mainly played this game with my 9 year old daughter and she really enjoys it, she said its one of her favorite games, aside from Kitten Clash, of course.
Dungeon Mayhem is a welcome addition to our game collection. Having recently played 5 Minute Dungeon, and One Deck Dungeon, I was hoping there would be some sort of alternative coop mode where players could team up to defeat the various monsters and henchmen throughout the other decks, but alas, no such option exists. Not yet at least. I think that Dungeon Madness could definitely become a product line for WotC if they would want to expand it to include more characters, more modes of play as expansion packs. Regardless, Dungeon Mayhem is a great addition to any board/card game collection and it will only set you back $15. It's especially great if you've got young people in your life and/or are a fan of games that you can take and play just about anywhere.
The Approachability of Dungeons & Dragons
Review: Mutant Year Zero


Prom season is enough to make any young woman's heart flutter. After all, there is the man of her dreams, beautiful flowers, romantic music and a dress she'll remember all of her life. To this day, I remember both of the proms I attended. My first prom dress was a floor length, soft pink dress with a lace jacket and just enough of a fitted look to draw attention from the boy I was with. My second prom dress was a bit more daring. Still floor length but black with a layered look and a slit up the side. I can still close my eyes and remember each dance.
While the cost of my prom dress wasn't really something I was worried about, I'm sure that my parents were searching for affordable prom dresses. I was more concerned with matching my shoes and my bag and whether or not my hair would cooperate. While we definitely want our daughters to look stunning at their proms, we don't want to have to break the bank to do it.
JJs House has a beautiful selection of prom dresses that are not only stunning but also affordable. I'm partial to floor length prom dresses myself but they also have beautiful dresses that fall a bit higher. I love the choices they have at JJ's House. There are dresses suitable for a wide range of body shapes and ages. When I attended my first prom, I was fourteen and the dress I wore as quite a bit different that the one I attended when I was seventeen. Whether you want a dress that is soft and feminine or fun and flirty, you will find many to choose from.
The site is very easy to shop because you can select the different options that are important to you. There are options for type of dress, season, color, size, price and even celebrity style. For those of us in cooler climates, it's also helpful that they have options to select whether a wrap is included, and the type of sleeves and straps. Prom here takes place in March and there is still snow on the ground. I love being able to search dresses that have a bit of a sleeve to them.
Do you have a child attending prom this year?
Fashion Etiquette – How do I look?
Stunning gowns! It's so nice to see brands offering affordable options… prom and homecoming can be SO expensive!
I agree, Stephanie! Affordable & stunning!
Oh prom gowns. My junior prom dress was purchased at a store. My senior prom grown was made by hand.
Me too! It's such a special time of year!
It is crazy how expensive prom dresses can get. This is a great and affordable place for girls to shop.
beautiful gowns. Happy I don't have to worry about prom for a few years!
They do have a gorgeous selection!
The third peach gown is absolutely stunning. I hope to see more girls gravitate to such elegance.
I agree! Elegant is always best.

Who is Yusaku Maezawa, the billionaire who bought every seat on SpaceX's first trip around the moon?
Dec 9, 2022, 1:47pm EST
Sign up for Semafor Flagship: A global, insightful daily briefing. Read it now.
Japanese billionaire Yusaku Maezawa on Friday announced the group of eight people set to join him on a week-long trip on a SpaceX rocket that plans to travel into space and around the moon next year.
American DJ Steve Aoki, K-pop star T.O.P of the group Big Bang, and Indian television actor Dev Joshi are part of the crew with Maezawa.
Here's what you need to know about the man who in 2018 purchased every seat on the SpaceX flight for his privately funded voyage known as "dearMoon."
REUTERS/Issei Kato/File Photo
Maezawa, who currently has an estimated net worth of $1.7 billion, founded Zozotown, now known as Japan's largest online shopping mall in 1998.
He's known for his impressive art collection; in 2017, he paid $110.5 million for an untitled 1982 Jean-Michel Basquiat painting, setting a record for the most paid for Basquiat's work.
Maezawa has been to space before. In 2021, he took a trip with space tourism company Space Adventures on a 12-day trip to the International Space Station.
He's famous for attention-grabbing stunts. In 2019, he offered 1 million yen to 100 people who followed him on Twitter and retweeted him. The tweet ended up being the most-retweeted of all time, with over 4 million retweets.
After buying all of the seats on SpaceX's first commercial voyage to do a flyby around the moon, Maezawa said he received over 1 million applications for people to go with him. Maezawa said he wanted to bring artists who would be inspired by the trip and contribute toward world peace.
The group also includes Irish photographer Rhiannon Adam, American filmmaker Brendan Hall, YouTuber Tim Dodd, British photographer Karim Illiya, and Czech artist Yemi AD. American Olympic snowboarder Kaitlyn Farrington and Japanese dancer Miyu were chosen as backups.
While the trip is set for 2023, the date could get pushed back.
The View From India
Joshi, the 22-year-old actor picked for the space voyage, "is no stranger to space suits," Indian outlet ThePrint reported. He rose to fame for playing space superhero Baalveer in the Indian fantasy TV show of the same name, beginning in 2012. The show ran for 1,111 episodes.
YouTube/dearMoon
Joshi, who has been an actor for 18 years, has also appeared in more than 20 Gujarati movies.
In an interview with dearMoon, Joshi recalled his childhood obsession with the moon which in Indian children's literature and mythological tales is often referred to as "chanda mama" or "moon uncle."
Joshi said he was "over the moon" when he was told that he had been chosen to be part of the dearMoon crew.

The Underrated Martin McDonagh
by Ned Johnstone
Martin McDonagh, the genius responsible for In Bruges (2008), Seven Psychopaths (2012) and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) is undoubtedly my favourite filmmaker of all time. At only 50 years of age, McDonagh's career has been more than notable. Having written at least six wildly successful plays, McDonagh is considered amongst Ireland's most acclaimed playwrights alive today. At one stage in his career, he was the only playwright in the world to have four of his plays running simultaneously on London's stages.
His directorial debut, In Bruges, is easily one of my favourite films. Also written by McDonagh, this action-packed dark comedy starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson is easily McDonagh's most under-appreciated production. Much like his next two films, it is the dialogue of In Bruges that makes it so special. Aside from Three Billboards, McDonagh's films often lack any real distinct plot or storyline; much like an episode of Seinfeld, the films rely heavily on character interactions to make them entertaining and, thanks to McDonagh's screenwriting brilliance, it works! Granted, consistently casting the likes of talented actors such as Collin Farrell, Woody Harrelson and Sam Rockwell is going to guarantee interesting and exciting characters, however, it is the deadpan delivery of McDonagh's wonderfully dark European humour that make these movies so enjoyable.
Seven Psychopaths is the first of McDonagh's films that I saw and before even knowing his name I decided then and there that this man was my favourite screenwriter. The idea alone of Sam Rockwell and Christopher Walken stealing dogs only to give them back to the owners and retrieve the reward perfectly sums up McDonagh's wild and magnificent imagination. Just the synopsis of this movie is entertaining enough, however, once again, when you combine it with McDonagh's writing and an all-star cast you are left with a near-perfect movie. This movie is entirely unpredictable and the totally chaotic nature of it all is closed perfectly with, in my opinion, one of the most elegant and brilliant film endings of all time.
Finally, it is with his most recent film that McDonagh receives some of the recognition he deserves. Another brilliant screenplay allows for Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell to each earn themselves an Academy Award with the film earning another five nominations on top of that. This movie strays only slightly from McDonagh's usual quirkiness and for this reason is my least favourite of his films however Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is nevertheless an outstanding picture.
Creating interesting and memorable characters is certainly one of McDonagh's strengths and this movie epitomises that. The tough, stubborn and powerful Mildred Hayes is a seriously memorable protagonist and is played so perfectly by Frances McDormand. Each distinct character contributes beautifully to the expansive world of this film making it so immersive and ginormous in scale. Finally, the character development of Jason Dixon, played so well by Sam Rockwell, is a real testament to McDonagh's admirable talent in story-telling.
McDonagh's use of absurdity and dark humour in the exploration of really very dark and serious subject matters make all of his films so remarkable. His talent never ceases to blow my mind and, with apparent production of a new film set to begin this year, this man is certainly someone to watch.

Re-Evaluating Television: Questions of Morality
By Fr. Edward Looney on	 June 28, 2013 Featured, On Media
One of my fondest memories of my grandmother is watching Little House on the Prairie with her when I was a child. Knowing she loved Little House on the Prairie, one Christmas I decided to purchase the first season of The Waltons for her. I am not entirely sure if she ever watched any of those Walton episodes, but I have. These shows were examples of good, clean, and wholesome television.
Contrast those shows with television today. As the seasons of many television shows have now had their finales, some fans are left with the cliffhanger endings, anticipating their fall premiers. Law and Order: Special Victims Unit watchers want to know what happens to Olivia. Bones viewers want to know what the heartbreak of Bones means for her relationship with Booth. And the list goes on. What are these shows and the many others all about? Sex, drugs, murder, etc.
The family friendly shows of yesteryear that taught a lesson have been replaced with over-sexualized shows exploiting immorality. Hollywood and television shows promote a specific agenda which finds itself at odds with Catholic moral teaching. Have you noticed that most shows include an active homosexual or bi-sexual couple? Or highlight the fornicating co-workers? Or convey that adulterous relationships are alright? Sometimes the shows undermine the Church by making jokes at the expense of the pope or priests, or challenge certain hot topic issues like in vitro fertilization or abortion.
While these situations are realities in everyday life, by highlighting them, the viewing public becomes de-sensitized to these moral issues. Take for example one television show I recently saw in which a young boy was being cared for by a single lady. When another female co-worker visited her at her house, the boy inquisitively asked, "Is she your girlfriend?" This is how commonplace or ingrained these ideas have become. We no longer give such situations a second thought, but presume promiscuity.
Over the past several months I have questioned whether or not I should be watching television shows that glorify sin, death, and sexual perversity. It is a conversation I have had with my spiritual director, and it has been a recurring question in recent weeks in my own prayer. Besides the question of immorality in the programming, perhaps other questions are just as pertinent: How much time do I spend watching television? How has my spiritual life been lately? What else could I be doing with my time?
Television becomes an easy tool of procrastination, especially if one has a Hulu account—television on demand. Quite often many networks even air weekend marathons of certain shows. Before one realizes it, they have spent three or four hours (or more) watching a series while other tasks fall to the back burner. The reading, studying, or praying one should have done, is put off until later, maybe even tomorrow.
To a certain degree, there is an addictive element to watching episode after episode—you want to know what happens to this or that character. That is why the use of cliffhangers is so effective. We want to know how the story ends because we have invested so much time in following the story. On a similar note, these questions could be raised about sports. As a Packer fan, I face a similar dilemma: Can I justify spending three hours watching this game when I have school work to do?
The purpose of this reflection is by no means to tell readers they should not watch television because their soul may be at stake. No, that is not my intention, rather, the purpose is to raise awareness about the moral depravity and encourage each individual to examine their own conscience. Since we have become so de-sensitized to immorality on television, perhaps some people have never thought about these moral questions, specifically how do I reconcile my Catholic beliefs with what I am watching?
There is an old prophesy (most likely urban legend) that states: "Every American would have a black box in their home through which the devil would enter." This prophesy has been attributed to Sts. Elizabeth Ann Seton, Frances Xavier Cabrini, and Padre Pio. They all probably did not say this, and maybe nobody actually said this, but the concept is, at the very least, intriguing. Many homes have a big, flat, hi-definition television which they gather around nightly, sometimes even taking their evening meal together in front of the television.
In Matthew 12:34, Jesus says: "From the depths of the heart, the mouth speaks." Our mouth speaks from what we take in. If we consistently take in violence, death, and immorality through our television watching, our own language over time may begin to reflect that. Then again, Mother Angelica has given us EWTN, so we can fill ourselves with good things. I know that I will continue to grapple with the morality behind watching television, but I also know that my time can be better used to build up the kingdom of God through study, reading, and writing. But when the times comes and I need to vege or recreate, perhaps an episode of The Waltons will be in store, after all there are eight more seasons left to watch—one episode at a time.

I think you are being wimpy. You say: "The purpose of this reflection is by no means to tell readers they should not watch television because their soul may be at stake. No, that is not my intention -" Well, it is mine.
Ask yourself whether Jesus would spend his time watching these shows. The answer is obviously no. Therefore, we should not be either.
My wife and I cut the cord to TV permanently over 5 years ago before our first child was born, and my family has never watched it since, with the exception of an old movie on Netflix or some educations stuff for my son. I agree with you that the old shows are wholesome, but even there, spending too much time watching them is still a waste.
The first 6 months without TV you will be wondering what to do in the evenings. After a few years, you will wonder where you found the time to waste. There are a lot more useful things to do: prayer, reading, playing with children, talking with grandparents or other relatives or reconnecting with old friends, learning a language, taking courses, joining a book club, playing tennis, inviting a priest over for dinner, and on and on.
I pulled the plug on TV almost two years ago, and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I say do it!

LENA Taranto has come a long way in a long time.
The mother of three, who enjoyed a 100th birthday lunch for family and friends at a Mornington nursing home last week, was born in the town of Waltham, Massachusetts, US, on 7 February 1919.
When she was just four her Italian family pulled up stakes and returned to Italy. Then, in 1927, they again set out "for a better life", this time migrating by ship to Australia.
Two more children were born in Melbourne with the family of seven running a fruit shop in Glenferrie Road, Malvern. Money was "very tight".
While working there, Lena met the "love of her life", Bartolo (Bob). They married in 1942 and had three children: Mary, Lawrence and Shirley.
Daughter Mary last week said her parents "worked very hard" in other friends' and family members' shops before taking over a fish shop in Ormond.
"This was a very happy time for Lena as everyone worked together employing many relatives," Mary said.
After running the shop for some years the couple retired to the Mornington Peninsula where Bartolo enjoyed his favourite pastime of fishing and Lena "enjoyed cooking fish and chips for family and friends".
Mary said her mother "always kept busy and active and enjoyed her daily walks while she was able" during her years at Australian Unity Retirement Living Services, Booker Avenue.


Questions about protein have to be the most common for vegans. Where do you get it? Am I getting enough? Should I take protein supplements?

By now you've probably heard that my family and I spent most of the summer living at friend's houses after a flood destroyed ours. The uncomfortable living situation, lack of personal space, and wacky routine, meant healthy eating wasn't even on our radars.
Now, after a month in our new home, we've hit the reset button on our health. In today's episode, we share the 5 food habits my family and I reset first, and how you can stay on top of your health this holiday season.


Holy Balm has made some waves over at the ATH offices with their brand of "wonky house" catching my ears. The name might be new to most in the States, but make no mistake about it, this is some of the best dance music coming across my desk. Most of the vocals are delivered in a questioning, haphazard way, setting a different tone than most electro-pop tunes, but rest assured, there's a softer side that you'll find. I love some of the synth stabs filling in the empty space around the track too, giving this new tune an old school feel spun around in a modern machine. Their album Activity is being released by Chapter Music on August 5th, destined to make waves.
Sometimes I get bored; it seems a lot of the music just blends together, repeating patterns and whatnot. But, that's not the case with this new tune from Oh Well Goodbye. Opening with light guitar and a sort of spoken word repeated, it almost seems like a Scandinavian bit of post-punk. But, as the guitars evolve, the tones brighten and the vocal performance has a sense of longing that really pulls at your emotional earstrings. It's part post punk, part great pop…and all worthy of your repeated listens. Cleanse your palate by turning this one up loud, and look for the Swoon 7″ very soon from Bleeding Gold Records.

SEBASTIAN BACH To CHRIS JERICHO: 'Your Singing Sucks'
Sebastian Bach claims that he has been "trying to get a response" from Chris Jericho days after the former SKID ROW frontman accused FOZZY's lead singer of using pre-recorded vocal tracks during live performances.
On Thursday (July 16), Jericho challenged Bach to a "singoff" with "no effects, no tuning, no bullshit" in response to Sebastian's allegation that Chris "mimes to a tape" during FOZZY's live shows. "Bas is a great singer...but I'm better," Chris wrote on Twitter." The wrestler-turned-singer added: "I've never mimed anything ever! I will fucking sing in your face anytime, anyplace dude. I've been a fan & a defender of u since day one...but don't u ever question my rock abilities!" Bach fired back: " You're full of s*** bro. Every clip on the Internet is you miming to a tape. I will sing in your f****** face anytime. Wrestling is not rock and roll. I will show you f****** rock and roll. Check your texts set up The Sing-Off I am ready when you are".
During this past Saturday night's episode of "Saturday Night Special", Jericho's weekly live series which airs on his YouTube channel and Facebook page, Chris ended the show by tackling the chorus to "Youth Gone Wild", SKID ROW's first single from the group's self-titled debut album. Calling it "a tribute to a great band," Jericho sang the lines "They call us problem child / We spend our lives on trial / We walk an endless mile / We are the youth gone wild / We stand and we won't fall / We're one and one for all / The writing's on the wall / We are the youth gone wild" while clearly struggling to hit some of the highest notes. He later posted an extended version of his "Youth Gone Wild" rendition on Twitter, writing in a caption: "Saturday Night Singalong! One of my all time favorite tunes.... @OfficialSkidRow"
Early this morning (Monday, July 20), Bach reacted to Jericho's "Youth Gone Wild" attempt, writing in a since-deleted tweet: "What does someone have to do to get a response out of the most amazing singer of all time @IAmJericho ? I have been trying to get a response from this vocalist who is so much better than I am, just ask him he will tell you" Sebastian also included a screenshot of what appears to be his text messages to Chris which went unanswered. In the texts, Bach writes: "Hey man do you ever suck! Nice video online what a complete joke
"You are one complete talentless f***. Get your own s*** and quit copying mine. Badly
"Your singing sucks. You should stop singing for the benefit of all mankind
"Is this still your number pussy? I accept your challenge to a singing match if you accept my challenge to a whooping your f****** ass match
"Believe me it won't be much of a match unless you bring like a phonebook to stand on or something you fuxkin pussy
"You are such a joke I can't wait to kick the s*** out of you just for fun
"Hey shrimp why don't you text me back you f****** a******?
"Pussy"
When Bach first went public with his Jericho accusation last week, FOZZY guitarist Rich Ward called Sebastian "universally disliked" and said that seeing Bach "publicly go after the only guy that I have ever witness utter a nice word about him is sad."
Sebastian, who has been outspoken about rock bands using pre-recorded backing tracks during live shows, later tried to explain his outburst, writing: "I'm not trying to beat anybody at anything. I'm actually trying to say hey Chris maybe you're right maybe I'll stop singing live and prance around while the tape is playing just like you do Chris. I'm tired of trying so hard it's like beating my head against the wall."
After a self-proclaimed Bach fan called Sebastian "an asshat" on Twitter for firing "the first shots" in his war of words with Jericho, Bach came back with: "Hey man f*** you. I have spent my life learning how to sing live on stage. When someone comes along and mimes to a tape it sucks for all of the rest of us that don't. You want to go see a wrestling match good. Don't call it rock and roll"
Jericho has long been suspected of relying on backing tapes during FOZZY's live performances. When the band played in Canada in November 2018, several concert-goers accused Jericho of singing along to pre-recorded tracks. After a video of FOZZY's Toronto gig surfaced online, Bach weighed in, writing from his personal Facebook account: "Wow he mimes to a tape very well".
