Twelve MSU faculty members named to third cohort of STEM Fellows
Contact(s): Val Osowski College of Natural Science office: (517) 432-4561 osowskiv@msu.edu
Twelve MSU faculty members from the College of Natural Science have been selected for the fall 2018 cohort of MSU's STEM Teaching and Learning Fellowship, a program funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and additional support from MSU's Office of the Provost.
Building on work that began six years ago and was funded by the Association of American Universities, MSU is implementing an innovative teaching and learning model known as 3-D learning supported by a five-year grant from NSF. The project, Extending a Coherent Gateway to STEM Teaching and Learning, is a collaborative initiative between the College of Natural Science, Lyman Briggs College and partner institutions.
"The program's first two cohorts were focused on faculty who teach the gateway courses. With this cohort, we've expanded the program to faculty who teach 200- and 300-level courses," said Cori Fata-Hartley, College of Natural Science assistant dean for curriculum coordination and co-principal investigator on the project. "This will help us to continue to align the curricula vertically across different programs and across different disciplines."
"This fellowship provides an opportunity for me to examine my teaching and identify ways of engaging students to a greater degree," said Louise Mead, one of the fellows. She is an evolutionary biologist and education director of the BEACON Center for the Study of Evolution in Action.
Another fellow, Devin Silvia, is a teaching specialist in the Department of Computational Mathematics, Science and Engineering with a background in computational astrophysics. Using simulations, he studies how the gas between and around galaxies evolves with time.
"I believe that every student in my courses is capable of succeeding and I try to design my courses to benefit all of my students, not just those who are likely to succeed regardless of the quality of the instructor," Silvia said. "This fellowship is another step along my path as a committed educator."
The overarching goal of the program is to improve undergraduate STEM courses by engaging faculty in conversations about core ideas of the discipline and how students should be able to use those ideas combined with science practices and crosscutting concepts to explain phenomena and solve problems.
"From the previous cohorts, we've learned how to improve the experience for faculty," Fata-Hartley said. "We are continuing to develop materials and approaches within the fellowship to engage faculty. The grant will also allow us to evaluate the effectiveness and the impact of the fellowship on the incorporation of three-dimensional learning in these courses."

American Idol's Adam Lambert and Kris Allen hit the stage for their final performances and it was uneven at best. Both boys started out singing a song they had performed earlier in the competition. Adam went with Mad World again but this time he had a cool duster and rolling fog which Simon hated. I thought it was great. Kris went with a moody piano version Ain't No Sunshine. I call it a tie, Simon called it for Kris.
Shawn Johnson and Mark Ballas were crowned the winners of this season of Dancing with the Stars. I'm not happy about that and I explain why in my Dancing recap. Read it here!
But last night's hoopla will be barely a squeak when compared to what you'll hear tonight when American Idol crowns their winner.
Round two was songs chosen by American Idol's creator Simon Fuller. Two great choices but only one great performance. Adam was fabulous with his emotionally version of A Change is Gonna Come. Kris was given What's Going On and I was so excited. I love that song and it's perfect for his voice, sadly he went with a very unemotional, understated performance, which I believe, has lost him the race.
Last, yikes, both boys were forced to perform this hideous finale song written by Kara DioGuardi called No Boundaries. Horrible song and it's a shame that this was the last thing we'd hear from them on the Idol stage. Adam did his best with the material but poor Kris was stuck with an arrangement that didn't suit his voice and he was struggling with every note. I wish I could flip the evening around and have them both end where they started.
One last musical note. I also had a mixed reaction to Fox's new series Glee. I love the premise. The actors are fun and the music is right up my alley — so all smiles there. On the down side, it was a long hour. There simply wasn't enough plot to sustain and I'm really not sure about the level of weirdness that permeates the characters. Why did this have to be the high school version of The Office? Why couldn't it be Gilmore Girls with music? I'll have to see a few more episodes before I can decide if this is a win or a miss.
What's on tonight?
The end is near…in just a few hours, actually. It's a huge two-hour plus season finale so set your DVR's to run over because according to Ryan Seacrest, American Idol plans to run long.
Isn't that an oxymoron — planning to run over? The top 13 we all be back on stage and then it'll be vamp until the very last moment.
It's going to be a long night leading up to a big finish. Will it be a Kris Allen upset? We shall see.

Georgia Says No Revenge in Arrests of Former Officials
TBILISI — Georgia's interior minister defended the arrests of a raft of former state officials since the new government took power, responding to concerns raised by Europe and the United States of a political witch-hunt.
More than 20 ex-officials have been arrested and some charged with abuse of power since a coalition led by billionaire Bidzina Ivanishvili, who is now prime minister, ousted the party of President Mikheil Saakashvili in an Oct. 1 election.
Interior Minister Irakly Garibashvili denied the arrests were part of a settling of political scores.
"Not a single arrest has been carried out because of political motives. We are restoring justice and telling the truth to our society with each of these arrests," the minister said.

Maharashtra Assembly polls 2019: PM Modi dares Opposition to declare bringing back Article 370 in manifesto
Published: October 13, 2019 10:56:11 PM
Addressing his first campaign rally in the run-up to the October 21 Maharashtra Assembly polls in Jalgaon, Modi said Jammu and Kashmir was "not just a parcel of land, but crown of India", and assured it will not take more than four months to normalise the kind of situation that prevailed there for 40 years.

Stepping up his attack on the Congress and NCP over nullification of Article 370, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday dared them, "if they have guts", to declare in their poll manifesto that they will restore the provisions giving special status to Jammu and Kashmir. He also said some Opposition leaders were speaking on the lines of a "neighbouring country" on the Article 370 issue which is "exactly opposite" the national sentiment.

Speaking at another rally at Sakoli in Bhandara district in east Maharashtra, Modi said though the world was faced with a "challenging time" India is stronger to deal with the same. He also said the rural economy was not paid attention to earlier unlike his government has done and added that Rs 25 lakh crore will be spent on the development of infrastructure in villages. Attacking the Congress and NCP, Modi said in Jalgaon that it was "unfortunate" that they were "politicising" the "unprecedented" decision of scrapping of Article 370. Their leaders thought exactly opposite of what the entire nation feels about Jammu and Kashmir, he said.

"You look at the statements made by Congress, NCP of late…They seem to be speaking on the lines of the neighbouring country," Modi said, without naming the leaders as he apparently referred to Pakistan. Accusing Opposition leaders of shedding crocodile tears on the issue of Article 370, he said, "I challenge them, if they have guts, declare in their manifesto for state election and future polls too, that they will bring back Article 370 and 35A, which the BJP, the Modi government scrapped…that they will change the August 5 decision."
"Stop shedding these crocodile tears," Modi said. Wondering whether bringing back Article 370 will be acceptable to people, he said the Opposition parties will have no future if they were to do so. Hailing the move, Modi said earlier it was "unthinkable" that such a decision (of scrapping the special status) could be taken, and noted that only separatism and terrorism spread in Jammu and Kashmir over the years. The scope for development of the poor, women, Dalits and the exploited sections was slim, he pointed out. Members of the Valmiki community in Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh were even deprived of their human rights, he said. He also hit out at the Opposition over the issue of banning triple talaq, alleging they tried to see Muslim sisters did not get justice.
"But, I kept the promise made to Muslim mothers and sisters," he said, and also challenged the opposition "to bring back the practice of triple talaq". Taking a dig at the opposition, Modi, without naming any party, said the "tired allies" can extend each other support, but cannot fulfil the dreams of Maharashtra and aspirations of its youth. Notably, senior Congress leader Sushilkumar Shinde recently remarked that both his party and the NCP are "tired".
Without naming NCP chief Sharad Pawar, Modi also referred to a video clip featuring the veteran leader and alleged that he elbowed away a party worker as he was being garlanded at a poll rally in Akola. "I don't know whether the clip is genuine or not… such a big leader whose photos appeared in newspapers all these years, who was seen on TV, but he has such a small heart that he elbowed the young man (the worker) as he tried to get inside (the garland)," Modi said. Modi said votes cast by people in the Lok Sabha elections for an "able and strong New India" will help the country attain the place it deserves in the world. "Because of this mandate, India's voice is being heard by each of the world's strong force…The world is seeing a reinvigorated New India. This not because of Modi, but because of your one vote. Only my 130 crore countrymen are behind it," Modi said.
At Sakoli, the PM said in earlier days schemes were worked out on caste and community considerations. "However, for my government, only people mattered," he said, adding that farmers, the poor and deprived sections are the focus of his schemes. "We are working new energy for creating new identity of New India. The world is faced with a challenging time now. But India is stronger now to deal with the challenge. This is because of the trust you have reposed. This trust is inspiring us to take big decisions. Such decisions people earlier were scared of taking," Modi said.
In an apparent jibe at the Congress, which had mostly ruled Maharashtra since its formation in 1960, Modi said "divisive politics" has now become history in the state. "Earlier, attention was not paid to the rural economy like it is now…in the coming years, Rs 25 lakh crore will be spent on developing infrastructure in villages," Modi said. He said roads are being developed in rural areas and godowns will be created to store grains of farmers. "An amount of Rs 2000 crore is already deposited in the accounts of small farmers in Maharashtra," he added. Modi mainly restricted his speech to the welfare politics at Sakoli against the backdrop of Opposition's charge that the BJP was raising only emotive issues.

This research aims to question how thermal energy is conceived and controlled within architecture.
It develops and explores designing a system of elements and their fabrication process.
The research uses the latest technology from FLIR for critical analysis.
Observing the environment, it is evident that we operate in a nonuniform manor, yet we often design using standards and averages. Current approaches to thermal control empahise standard range of values; however these can only ever be averages. My research aims to envisage and prototype an alternative architectural application for understanding thermal mass.
Within this framework and through the application of thermal mass; the interest departs from the ability for materials to absorb and release energy at different rates. This notion builds on the engagement with the opportunity to create a heterogeneous ecology of environments which can steer or prolong activities in the public realm. The understanding and reinterpretation of thermal transfer, sourcing energy and distribution rates drives the investigation into the symbiotic and parasitic opportunities that can be utilised in our built environment.
Investigating designing through the methodology of developing a systems logic and fabrication processes; the attitude towards designing for mass customization and 'versioning' will be explored.

[Everyday] Psychophilosophy » Why Does Time Fly?
And like that—[I just snapped my fingers at the computer screen]—the summer is over and school is back in session.
As a kid, that final day before the new school year was always one of the worst days of the whole year. And for this summer, it wasn't much different—I was just able to drown my melancholy with alcohol.
But the passage of time is an interesting one, and everyone from Einstein to my mother ("You're bored? Well why don't you clean the bathroom?") have been interested in the topic.
From anecdotal and scientific inquiry, one common experience is that time seems to speed faster when you're older compared to when you're younger. For example, one study had undergraduate students and 60-year-olds try to estimate the length of time in three minutes.
Although the undergraduate students were pretty accurate, the 60-year-olds tended to undershoot the time, estimating that three minutes was up well before it actually was.
Now, a number of theories have tried to account for this effect and one of them claims that this difference in time perception is attributed to how many "memorable" memories we make.
That is, when you're young, you judge the passage of times by "firsts," e.g., first kisses, first days of school, first parachuting experiences. These are the memories, alongside other distinct ones, that make our lives feel so complex and extended: when you can remember doing lots of different things, it feels like you've had a lot of time to do them.
However, when we're older, most people don't make as many noteworthy memories and the days just kind of blend together; hence, the quickening of time.
For example, when you're five-years-old, one year is equal to 20% of your life. When you're 50, however, one year is only 2% of your life. Thus, as we get older, our frame of reference for a year becomes "devalued." In our youth, those years don't just seem long to us; comparatively, they are long.
A third perspective on why time passes faster when we're older has to deal with the responsibilities of being an adult.
That is, when you're young and December rolls around, you're likely counting the days (maybe even the hours) until you get to open your presents. In this mindset, time can't seem to pass any slower.
When you're older, however, we're constantly on the move trying to get things done. And when there is inevitably not enough time to complete things, we perceive this inability to get done what we wanted to get done as time passing too quickly.
Regardless of how old you are, though, the summer always seems to go by the fastest—which will be a tough comparison point if you're one of the undergraduates watching the clock in my class this year.

Ozone is oxygen....really; that's it. An ozone molecule is made up of three oxygen atoms that create a very powerful oxidizing agent that is so unstable that a molecule of ozone has an average lifespan of half an hour unless it comes into contact with a molecule of harmful VOC or hydrocarbon, in which case ozone will destroy the harmful molecule and break down into breathable oxygen, O2.
Nature provides ground level ozone as a natural and powerful cleaning agent directly in conjunction to the needs of ozone determined by harmful VOC's and hydrocarbons in the atmoshere. We cannot rid the atmosphere of ozone, but if we could, we would do ourselves even greater harm than we do by producing harmful VOCs and hydrocarbon pollution.

Instacart, grocery delivery grows by leaps after Whole Foods/Amazon deal
Author Alex Bitter
Theme Retail & Consumer ProductsTechnology, Media & Telecom
A price war is not the only immediate effect Amazon.com Inc.'s purchase of Whole Foods Market Inc. is having on the grocery industry: A delivery arms race is also taking shape.
San Francisco-based Instacart, which allows shoppers to order groceries from a range of supermarkets and related chains, is expanding both its geographic reach and the list of retailers with which it partners. Although the company has been touting its nationwide expansion since April, much of the growth has come after Amazon said it would buy Whole Foods in June.
As of Oct. 5, Instacart had operations in roughly 3,071 U.S. cities and towns, up from both the 374 it served as of Jan. 28 and the 1,974 cities it was in as of June 15, the day before Amazon's announced deal with Whole Foods, an analysis by S&P Global Market Intelligence shows.
In addition to operating in new markets, Instacart has secured contracts with new grocers and expanded existing ones. In August, the startup agreed to provide same-day delivery for customers of Aldi (Süd) GmbH & Co.'s U.S. stores. On Oct. 5, Costco Wholesale Corp. announced its own same-day service through Instacart, adding fresh food items to the range of products that customers are able to order from its warehouses through Instacart.
While many large national and regional grocers have been experimenting with e-commerce for several years, Amazon's decision to buy Whole Foods has made grocers more interested in bolstering their own delivery capabilities, Instacart Chief Business Officer Nilam Ganenthiran told S&P Global Market Intelligence in an interview.
"Amazon buying Whole Foods clearly was a catalyst for the industry ... to have their morning cup of coffee and get going," Ganenthiran said.
Broadly, grocers in the U.S. and around the world have ramped up their online ordering and delivery functions since Amazon's deal. On Oct. 3, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. said it had bought last-mile delivery company Parcel Inc., which operates in New York City. French supermarket operator Carrefour SA said Oct. 16 that it had launched a service allowing shoppers to have groceries delivered to their homes by other shoppers.
That surge of interest contrasts with a dearth just a few years ago, when most grocers were only interested in grocery delivery as an experiment. "They wanted to do three-store tests, five-store tests, 20-store tests," Ganenthiran said. "The industry was just not ready for a solution."
Trying to build what Amazon could not
By expanding their efforts, grocers and startups like Instacart are attempting to succeed where Amazon has largely failed, said Guru Hariharan, CEO of San Francisco-based startup Boomerang Commerce Inc. and a co-founder of Amazon's WebStore e-commerce platform.
Although Amazon founded its own last-mile delivery service, AmazonFresh, in 2007, it has yet to expand beyond a few mostly urban markets, according to a summary of the service by Amazon posted on its website.
That lack of scale means the company should have ended AmazonFresh long ago, Hariharan said. The fact that Amazon has not given up shows how important grocery delivery is to the Seattle-based retailer as well as the supermarket industry as a whole, he said in an interview.
Many grocers, including Amazon, will eventually develop their own Instacart-like service, Hariharan said. In the meantime, they likely view the startup as a "stepping stone" on the way to that goal, he added.
"They'll want to own the end-to-end customer experience and the value chain," he said. "At some point, very quickly, grocers will be moving their last-mile delivery to in-house."
Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment Oct. 18.
Instacart's Ganenthiran said he is not concerned about retailers making delivery an in-house operation. He pointed to the company's order volumes, which often include purchases from several grocers within individual markets and allow it to deliver orders more cost-effectively than individual supermarkets could.
By partnering with Instacart, supermarkets can also offer delivery without having to build a service from scratch in-house.
"It isn't one of the top 10 things I lose sleep over," he said.
As Instacart continues to expand, it may also have to consider its relationship with Amazon. Whole Foods was one of the startup's early nationwide partners, and a source familiar with the matter said the grocer, now part of Amazon, owns a stake in Instacart that amounts to less than 1% of the company. As a privately held company, Instacart is not required to disclose investments other parties make in its business.
For players like Aldi and Costco, which are focused on competing against Amazon and Whole Foods, that stake is evidently not enough of a reason to stay away from Instacart.
"The bar is now raised, and they have to nail all the angles" of the grocery business, including delivery, Boomerang's Hariharan said.

So this year I've decided to just "Be Me" with whatever comes along and not worry about what I can't help or do. I'm working on a Sky/Temp blanket that will take all year, 1 row for each day. you can see my progress here http://cieangel.blogspot.com/p/sky-blanket-2016.html I'm also working on baby stuff for my new granddaughter's being born this year.
Made this Minnie Mouse Lovey for the baby shower of one of them. Also working on a Mario Star blanket for the other one.
Have to make some more Angels this year so got everything prepped to start them this week.
It has been starting to get cold in Florida so I hope Winter sticks around for awhile.


An interesting perspective on the Womanist Musings blog to rebutt the arguments of those who like to "play devil's advocate" or throw around the term "reverse sexism/racism" while leaning heavily on their "dictionary definitions" as if it is the ultimate authority.
If I look up "carrot" in the dictionary, most people will acknowledge I do not know all there is to know about carrots and if I truly want to understand carrots, I should probably pick up a horticultural text book. We know that legal and medical terms are going to be, at best, simplistically represented and know we need to find a lawyer or a doctor if we want to know more. Anyone deciding to base their argument on, say, a philosophical concept or term using the dictionary is going to be laughed at at best, or automatically lose whatever argument they're trying to make at least.
It's patently ridiculous and you can see that by applying it to any other field of knowledge. But the privileged will continually trot out simplistic, twitter-style dictionary definitions as if they are the last word and the ultimate authority. No-one would drag out the dictionary to debate science with a scientist. But they're more than willing to trot out a dictionary definition of racism over any sociological analysis. A dictionary is not the ultimate authority – they're a rough guide for you to discover the simple meaning of words you've never heard before – not an ultimate definition of what the word means and all its contexts.


Rochester Day 1 - Friends of the Professional Car Society - Official Website of the Professional Car Society, Inc.
On Tuesday, I drove down to Rochester for the day with Gene Rafferty, April Warner, and Jon Nisja to attend the Gold Cross Ambulance early bird event. Gold Cross owner/founder John Perkins had an excellent AV presentation on the history of ambulance service in Rochester. This service grew from providing service in Rochester, to Duluth, Mankato, and several other cities in Minnesota. Eventually he sold to the Mayo Clinic, who continues to operate Gold Cross Ambulance service today.
Perkins also had a very nice Ford Seibert ambulance and vintage EMS equipment on display.
It was fun to see John again after all these years. He was an instructor at various state-wide EMS symposiums in the early 70's that I attended when I first got involved in ambulance work. This was in the era when we were transitioning from American Red Cross advanced first aid to EMT. There were various transition seminars covering CPR, backboards, vehicle extrication, and other skills that went beyond first aid. John was a member of a team of part-time instructors organized throughout the State called Professional Rescue Instructors of Minnesota (PRIM's). They were pioneers in teaching these advanced care subjects and being a champions for adoption of EMT and the concept of emergency medical services as being system of care that included designation of trauma centers, establishment of assigned primary service areas for ambulance providers. Prior to this time, ambulance service territories were a free for all often at the expense of quality care to patients.
While attending college in Mankato in the mid-70's and working at the former Kost Ambulance, Jon Nisja and I also had occasion to see John and his Gold Cross staff while making patient transfers to the Mayo Clinic hospitals in Rochester. Gold Cross has always had an outstanding reputation as an EMS provider in this region.
As for "Respond to Rochester", it looks to be an excellent meet. Weather will be great. The hotel is very nice with a great parking area for our cars. Several folks were already there and I heard that there were already 26 professional cars in the lot. Looking forward to meeting folks and putting a face to names I have seen on these forums over the past few years. I will be back in Rochester with my ambulance on Thursday evening.
Nice work Tony! Looking forward to the rest.

Santini owners Mario and Isabella Barberis. Photo: Alistair Brightman
Cafe owners battle virus fears and setbacks
TWO years have passed since the Chronicle reported on Mario Cudemo's attempts to stay in Australia to work as the pastry chef of Santini Pasty Shop.
Since that time a lot has changed while a lot has stayed the same for Mario and his partner Isabella Barberis.
Both Mario and Isabella are now part owners of the cafe business and Mario's future in Australia remains uncertain.
Mario is still in the country on a bridging visa while he awaits a decision on his residency from the Federal government.
The couple have spent tens of thousands of dollars on applications and bridging visas to stay in Hervey Bay.
"We love living in Hervey Bay and want to make it our forever home," Isabella said.
It has been a stressful three years for the couple and it has recently been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mario has elderly parents and adult children who reside in Torino, Italy, who have been in isolation due to the coronavirus crisis.
"Fortunately they are all OK at the moment but it has just added to the stress," Mario said.
"They have been in isolation and making sure they follow the government's directions," Mario said.
They keep in regular contact to ensure they remain safe.
The couple sold their house in Italy planning to invest further on the Fraser Coast if they were successful in gaining permanent residency.
"We have plans to buy the cafe outright which we can't do at the moment and look at setting up a similar business elsewhere in the region," he said.
The restrictions on the cafe due to the government restrictions has also added to an uncertain future.
"We are doing takeaways that are well received by our customers but we are still down over 50 per cent of our normal business," Mario said.
Staff have also had to be stood down due to the reduced demand on the cafe.
The hurdles the two proud owners are facing would be enough for others to quit and move on but they are not going anywhere.
"We love Australia and we see our future here in Hervey Bay," Isabella said.
Note: An earlier version of this story was published stating comments about the restaurant. This has been corrected to state that the business was the cafe.
The Chronicle apologises for any confusion this has caused.

It Won't Be Made, But David Fincher Has Revealed How 'Mindhunter' Would've Ended
By Pip Doyle
Mindhunter's audience wasn't huge, but we're an irrationally invested lot.
The fact that it won't be picked up for a third season, well, it hurts. There's so much more to the story. More serial killers to profile.
Like an emotionally unavailable boyfriend, creator David Fincher plays with us by saying it's on ice indefinitely, only to tell Variety that he's not giving up on it.
"I don't know if it makes sense to continue," he said.
"It was an expensive show. It had a very passionate audience, but we never got the numbers that justified the cost."
Starring Jonathan Groff, Holt McCallany, and Anna Torv as FBI agents who launch a task force to interview serial killers as a way of understanding them, debuted in 2017.
Fincher had hoped to have a new series cranked out every 12 to 14 months, but production delays and headaches meant a two-year delay between seasons.
Making the second season was "exhausting" for Fincher, who described it as a nightmare to produce.
He apparently binned eight scripts, fired the first showrunner, and threw out Mindhunter's 'bible' which pretty much outlined the show's 'universe', including future seasons (*screams*).
So, a third season? Off the table.
"I'll admit I was a little bit like 'I don't know that I'm ready to spend another two years in the crawl space.'"
But all you have to do is throw a 'maybe' out there and us fans come running, amirite?
Fincher said he's hopeful that pouring cold water on the show for now might reignite his passion for it in the future and tie up the loose ends, you know, such as the entire story arc for the BTK Killer, Dennis Rader, who we've only ever seen in Mindhunter's short, cold opens.
"At some point I'd love to revisit it," he said.
"The hope was to get all the way up to the late 90's, early 2000's, hopefully get all the way up to people knocking on the door at Dennis Rader's house."
Le sigh, we hope so too, David.
Mindhunter seasons one and two are still on Netflix

After four years with the air freight division at the Frankfurt airport, he was appointed as the manager of DACHSER's German air freight operations, which at that time had 18 locations and 170 employees. With the consolidation of air and sea freight activities in 1996, Reuter was promoted to Europe Director of all European branches.

Jon Fitzgerald brings to light the key aspects in recognizing a story that can change the world. Fitzgerald is co-founder of the Slamdance Film Festival, which started in 1995. Filmmaking for Change is designed for the independent live-action filmmaker, but there is much in this manual for the independent animator as well.
To get you thinking on the right track, he has you reflect on your early movie experiences like the first movie you saw, and the first movie that inspired you to take action? He takes these answers and molds them into a solid foundation of what it means to you, to create change from your films.
The book is specifically designed to serve multiple functions. Whether you're an independent filmmaker, a student, a professor, or an industry professional, Filmmaking for Change will speak to you on every level. As I read through it, I found myself motivated to write script after script of meaningful stories, both fiction and non-fiction. A meaningful story can be told any way as long as it's told. Fitzgerald not only inspires great stories but walks you through getting them done on time and under budget.
Jon has developed a new manual for making socially relevant films from concept development through production, to marketing. In straightforward sections, with descriptive breakdowns for each category, the book presents a new paradigm for filmmaking in the modern age, including case studies on numerous films and advice from industry professionals on each topic.
While the book focuses mainly on the making of documentaries because of their unpredictable nature it also touches on an upmost important topic for every type of filmmaking, distribution. It's hard to make a social difference when no one is able to see your film. It's well worth a read.
Jon Fitzgerald has more than twenty years of experience in the motion picture business. After working in production on a number of studio features, Jon directed his first film in 1994, and then co-founded the Slamdance Film Festival in 1995. He directed the event for the nest two years before becoming the Festival Director at the American Film Institute and then the Santa Barbra and Abu Dhabi International Film Festivals. He was a VP of Programming for IFILM.com, where he helped to create a new online exhibition model, before launching Right Angle Studios, a consulting firm that provided services to film festivals and indie filmmakers. In 2009, Fitzgerald moved back into production, focusing on socially relevant films. Their first project was The Back Nine, followed by The Highest Pass and Dance of Liberation. In 2011, Fitzgerald launched CineCause, a company that connects quality films, celebrities and news to related causes.

Amazing experience, very friendly, absolutely clean and very professional. I wish I can go there more often. Natasha, the owner, is very professional. They have a lot of modern equipment to address any problem. I'm definitely getting back !
My sister and I went for the first time to Natasha's salon in Commack and was happy to see how clean and professional the office looked. Natasha is a registered nurse who provided us with dysport injections on forehead and eleven lines. We were happy to meet her since her office is local for us to return again and again. Thank you for your services we are happy to highly recommend any cosmetic treatment with Natasha, you will be in good hands.
I had such great experience to be treated by Natasha! She is very professional! I will definitely recommend this place to everyone! Thank you!
Very happy with the results. Will go back again. I went back and had a great facial.
My wife and I went down a bit skeptical today to try the IV treatment and we was immediately greeted by a friendly staff member who happened to be the owner. She was very informative and explained the different options in a way that a first timer like my self would be able to understand it. She took her time asking our needs and even brought in pillows to make our stay there more comfortable. I was very impressed with the results and almost immediately felt a difference in my body after behind dehydrated for so long.
I will definitely be recommending this service to my friends and anyone that needs a little boost. I will be returning very soon.
I had the most relaxing service at Vibrant Rejuvenation! Professional staff knowledgeable and friendly.. Run! Don't walk to get your beauty services at Vibrant Rejuvenation you won't be disappointed!

Visited for an IV Hydration and felt great afterwards! Will definitely be visiting again soon.
Natasha is wonderful! I highly recommend visiting her for any need you may have!
I've seen Natasha multiple times and she is professional, knowledgeable and personable. The facility is calm and relaxing, and the rooms (the ones I've been in) had the perfect amount of lighting, a comfortable recliner, and Natasha opened all products in front of me. Never once did she leave to grab any forgotten bottles (I've had that happen elsewhere). Everytime I go, we talk like we're old friends! She's super easy to get along with, beautiful, smart and an RN. You are in phenomenal hands. I can't wait to go back!

Thanks again ladies for being so kind to me !
Natasha is a miracle worker! Just from the first consultation, I knew she was different. She did not try to sell me procedures I didn't need. She discussed what I came for and gave me honest feedback. She worked with me and I didn't feel like she was pushing me into anything. That was years ago and I am still a loyal customer. She is a real person who knows exactly what she's doing. She personal, friendly, and makes you feel comfortable. I highly recommend Vibrant Rejuvenations.

I had a great experience with Natasha. She thoroughly explained what the procedure would be like and made me feel comfortable. She was also very pleasant to speak with overall. We spoke for a bit before the procedure and I really felt at ease going in.
This is a great place! Conveniently located, good parking, and very clean with a professional feel. The owner, Natasha is wonderful. I'm having great results so far after my first glycolic peel and looking forward to number two. I would highly recommend.
Excellent service, personal touch. Natasha accommodated every request I had-changing appointment time, adding services, everything was reasonably priced and professionally done. The office is very clean, staff is courteous and knowledgeable. I love my new lashes and intent to come back for more.
I recently got a facial treatment skin medical vitalize chemical peel, Natasha did a great job. She clearly explained the process, how to take care of it and what to expect that week. After seeing the change and having sun skin damage removed, I can't wait to go back! Thank you R.N. Natasha.

Wonderful, clean, warm & welcoming!
They really take the time to address any skin problems and attend to your needs, making each minute worth its while. I got a facial and Natasha was very sweet and professional, definitely coming back for the help at these prices!
It truly is a wonderful and fulfilling experience whenever I visit Vibrant Rejuvenation! Natasha is very knowledgeable and has a very pleasant personality. I've tried so many dermatologists and used natural remedies to cure my skin issues of acne and discoloration. Meeting Natasha almost seems like a divine connection. She has been able to answer all of my questions and provide solutions for my concerns. She is flexible and accommodating to my hectic schedule. I just had a chemical peel for the first time and I enjoyed every moment of it. She is my new skin specialist and I'll be going back to do laser hair removal with Aurora very soon !
Did my first peel about a month ago. Great customer service. I have too sessions left. Definitely looking forward to the results.
Sensitivity, professionalism and sharp facial aesthetics define Natasha. I highly recommend this skin spa.
Awesome experience with super woman Natasha. Experienced, knowledgeable...I trust my face with her!


Indeed. Beautifully stated, Ann. Thank you so much for being part of the solution, a calming voice, and good heart for all of these wonderful creatures.
Thank you so much for what you do. Beautifully written and I hope people take to heart what you have said. Bless you for caring for these wonderful animals. If people loved as animals do, it would be a perfect world.
Thank you! And I agree, animals tend to be so much less complicated, and so much more willing to forgive and accept others, and themselves, for who they really are!
So very well said, Ann.
Nice job Ann. Sounds like an interesting read. One of the best books I've read over the past year involved a woman who was fostering a dog. Now if I could only remember its title.
The book will be coming out this Fall, I think. And it is very good! If you remember the name of the book you read, let me know!
Cooperation is key to solving so many problems. I have to agree wholeheartedly that multiple approaches to a problem can result in multiple solutions making the issue more about doing what is effective to reach a goal. We have to remember there are many roads but they all converge in one place!
Exactly! There are few problems that are simple enough to be solved by just one person or organization. But put several together, and usually things improve immensely. That's why I think it's so important not to be too "in love" with our own way of doing things.
In every spiritual book that I read, it says you have to work within yourself to change yourself and the world out there is a manifestation of the world you have created within. It is such an empowering and at the same time depressing statement because I often wonder if the world that I have created within is so messy. I really hope I can clear the mess inside asap because this is not where I want my kids to grow up.
Am glad there are people around who can put across their point without bad mouthing someone else. All the best to your friend with her book.
I don't think I would blame yourself too much for the world around you…it's a result of everyone's creation, I think. I do think we have the power to make a strong impact on our immediate environment, though, and that's where we do well to always give our best effort. And I agree about Cara…she is an example to all of us that we can be passionate about our way without feeling the need to put down those who do things differently. I think we have to be intentional about that, or at least I know I do!
Spot on, as usual! I find it particularly frustrating when there are differences over a specific principle that one group then finds it essential to disagree with absolutely everything else the other group does, even when it's something they might well have done themselves.
Good point! How often do we focus on that one tiny area of disagreement, and thereby reject the whole idea or group, rather than look for the common ground and just "agree to disagree" on the stuff we don't have in common? I sometimes think arrogance is one of the biggest problems that plagues our world. Because "my way is the only way" really is pure arrogance. Thanks for the insightful comment!
I agree, Kate! We need to realize that cooperating and being open to different ways of getting the job done is the key! I know I have to remind myself of that now and then, as I can easily slip into the habit of believing that my way is best….
yes I think we all tend that way but it's the reason why I believe there are so many religions .. with seven billion of us we all have differing propensities. None are right or wrong, just silently different rituals and beliefs, but all going in the same direction of love and peace!
Exactly! Religion is not "one size fits all." People gravitate towards the ones that make sense to them.
Oh yes…. That's it, live and let live…. What you believe to be true is for you…. Tolerance and acceptance…… It's all good!
You're absolutely right about the importance of being tolerant and open-minded. The more people who are like that, the better.
Thanks, Neil! And I hope you aren't saying goodby because you're no longer going to be blogging???
Oh, good. You had me worried for a minute there!
Your post stands out as an example of tolerance, broadmindedness and loving kindness. It is my wish there were people like you, Ann. All too often you encounter persons who see things only in black and white. Great post with a great appeal for 'Live and let live'!
Thank you so much, Peter! From reading your blog, I know that you are a very tolerant and kind person, and I really appreciate your comments and encouragement!
You're so right, Ann. We should be able to be "for" something without having to be against something else. So many people approach life as a zero-sum game. If they are going to win, it means somebody or something else has to lose. In a slight variation on this theme, I am reminded that when asked why she didn't participate in anti-war marches, Mother Teresa is purported to have said she would never join such an effort, but if they had a pro-peace rally, she would absolutely be there.
That's a great response! And yes, I am dismayed by how we seem to think that being "for" one thing means we must be "against" something else. I read a book once called "You don't have to be wrong for me to be right" (or something like that) and that was the main point of the book. Life really isn't such a contest, I think!
Beautifully written and a pleasure to read. Thank you Ann for a topic that has encouraged great comments.
Thank you! And you know, what I like best about the comments on my blog isn't when someone tells me my post was good (although as every writer knows, that is always wonderful to hear). My favorite thing is how readers often bring up points I hadn't even thought of, and take the conversation to a whole new level, using my post only as the spring board. I learn a lot from the comments.
I feel exactly the same way Ann! It has been comments that have sparked ideas for me and better still helped me see new perspectives that only then made total sense! Thank you for responding, I always look forward to reading your thoughts.
It seems to me that too many of us tend to believe that we can't be for one thing without also being against another.
People who walk down that endless road eventually find themselves alone.
Honored to get a mention here from a blogger I so very much admire. She is a wise woman once again sharing her wisdom and warmth with the rest of us. There are many times I read Ann's blog posts and think, "Amen." So, once again, Amen, Ann.
Thanks, Cara, that is so nice of you to say! And thank you for the reblog, and the chance to read your book in the first place. It really is very good!
You truly are a very caring person.
Thank you Alan. And you know the same thing is true about you!
I agree with what you believe. Thank you for this beautiful post with the insight about the animals.
What a powerful message and so well written. I have a huge respect for what you do and many others do Ann, having seen and met first hand the shelters and volunteers that put their heart into their work. This cooperation really needs to extend out into life too. The book sounds like a good read.
Really well written from a loving heart. A true love for life.
It is a good book! And thanks for your kind words, Miriam! I agree, that the cooperation I hope to see in the animal rescue field is needed in all areas of our life. Just think what could be accomplished….
Thanks! I don't think I deserve that praise, but it is very nice of you to say it!
Some of it is volunteers, and some is staff, although they do tend to be overworked and under-paid. One way or another, it is people who are passionate about animal rescue. Thank you so much for your kind comments!!!
YOU ARE SO VERY RIGHT- tHIS POST IS A GREAT REMINDER THAT WE NEEDN'T CRITICIZE OTHERS TO VALIDATE OUR OWN JOURNEY. hOW i LOVE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
Thanks, Michele! For both your kind words and how easily you summed up the whole point of my post…we don't need to criticize others to validate our journey. That's what I was trying to say in a nutshell!
Wouldn't it though??? Thanks for the comment!
Right on, Ann! Beautifully said!
Well said! I wish there were more people in the world with this perspective! Cheering for what we love and not booing others most definitely makes the world a better place. And I have come to really appreciate those souls who have such a heart for animals. They are such a gift!
Thank you for your kind affirmation!
Perfectly put, Ann. Live and let live is one of my many mottos. So glad the book surprised you in a good way, it's so lovely and special if things like this happen.
Thanks, Sarah, it really did! Some times we expect the worst, which makes it all the nicer when the best is what we actually get. Cara wrote an amazing book that I am proud to endorse.
This post resonated on many levels. First, my best friend fosters rescue Goldens. At one point she was considered a "failed" foster because she ended up adopting the dog, Katy, who was a victim of Hurricane Katrina. Just one week ago, she got Paisley, a Golden/Greyhound mix from Tennessee who is very underweight and half her fur is off of her belly from a rash. My friend is the most amazing caretaker of these animals. I call her the Dog Whisperer. Second, you demonstrate the importance of keeping an open mind and not stereotyping or having pre-conceived notions of others.
Thanks, Kim! Yes, one of my pet peeves is how we stereotype others (particularly those who don't agree with us about absolutely everything) and how complacent we become in our prejudice. I have close friends from all over the religious and political spectrum, and I am so blessed by that chance to open my mind.
As for your friend, good for her!!! The shelter I volunteer with got a whole planeload of dogs from Hurricane Katrina (and later Rita as well) and it was an amazing experience. Please tell your friend thank you from me and all of us involved in animals rescue!
The foster pup she had just got adopted. I hope it's a good family because my friend was making tremendous progress with her.

Silent Scream (Scorpion Releasing) Blu-ray Review
Director: Denny Harris
Cast: Rebecca Balding, Cameron Mitchell, Avery Schreiber, Barbara Steele, Steve Doubet, Brad Reardon, Yvonne De Carlo, Juli Andelman
Purchase From Ronin Fix
Silent Scream introduces us to a pretty college girl named Scotty Parker (Rebecca Balding) who arrives on campus only to find that there's no housing available to her. She gets a few leads and after driving around town for a while eventually gets a room at the Engels' mansion, a massive old house on the coast that rents out a few spare rooms to college students. The place is run by a strange young man named Mason Engels (Brad Reardeon) who seems nice enough but warns Scotty about his odd mother (Yvonne De Carlo) who lives in one of the rooms upstairs.
Scotty hits it off with her new roommates – a friendly gal named Doris (Julii Andelman), a rich guy with a Porsche named Peter Ransom (John Widelock) and hunky dude Jack Towne (Steve Doubet). Before you know it, Scotty and Jack are an item and things are going well. When the four of them return from dinner one night, however, an unseen killer butchers poor Peter on the beach in front of the home. The cops, led by Lt. Sandy McGiver (Cameron Mitchell), investigate but, initially at least, they come up empty. Shortly after Peter's murder, Doris gets killed in the laundry room – at which point, Scotty realizes something sinister is afoot and that she may be next!
Silent Scream (or, THE Silent Scream if you go by the title card) does take a little bit of time to get going but once it does, proves to be a pretty entertaining horror picture. It dabbles in slasher movie elements and owes more than a little bit of a debt to Psycho, but still manages to do enough on its own to keep things interesting and unique enough to hold our attention. The bulk of the film takes place in an around the old Engels home, which proves to be a great location to stage a film like this, with its somewhat gothic looking exterior, a creepy old attic upstairs adding lots of appreciable atmosphere to the proceedings.
The story itself, well, the twist ending isn't super hard to see coming but it is at least done really well. Without spoiling things, Barbara Steele does excellent work in her part in the film, director Denny Harris and cinematographers Michael D. Murphy and David Shore do a fine job of exploiting her very distinct features to nice effect. Yvonne De Carlo is also quite good in her supporting role, and if an aging Cameron Mitchell just sort of seems to be there for the paycheck, he's delivered worse performances in worse films than this! Brad Reardon does a great job playing the quirky young man in charge of keeping up appearances, while Rebecca Balding (who has had a pretty strong TV career and who popped up in The Boogens!) makes for an attractive and likeable lead delivering fine work.
Video/Audio/Extras:
Silent Scream comes to Blu-ray from Scorpion Releasing in a transfer taken from a 'new 2016 HD scan of the original interpositive' and it looks very good. Framed at 1.78.1 widescreen and presented in AVC encoded 1080p high definition, there's loads of detail here to take in. Color reproduction looks spot on, nice and accurate, while black levels are plenty deep. Texture and shadow detail can be pretty impressive at times, while skin tones look nice and lifelike. There are no noticeable issues with compression artifacts or edge enhancement and the image appears free of any obvious noise reduction, showing the expected amount of film grain – as it should. No complaints here, really, the image is quite strong on this disc.
Audio chores are handled well enough by an English language DTS-HD 2.0 Mono track or a DTS-HD 5.1 option. The mono track, obviously, is more representative of the film's original sound mix while the 5.1 tracks spreads things out a bit in terms of the score and the effects work. Both tracks sound fine and are free of any hiss or distortion. No alternate language or subtitle options are provided.
The extras kick off with an audio commentary with writers/producers Ken and Jim Wheat and actress Rebecca Balding moderated by Lee Christian and Walter Olsen. This is a pretty interesting track quite worth checking out as it does a great job of detailing the film's interesting history. The Wheat brothers were actually hired to come on board and basically retool a version of Silent Scream that had already been made! Only a dozen or so minutes from that version wound up being used and it's quite interesting to hear the talk about how and why things worked out this way. We also hear about the cast that worked on the picture, with Balding chiming in quite frequently about her experiences on the set. There's also talk about working with director Denny Harris, the locations, and quite a bit more. A second commentary feature actress Barbara Steele moderated by David Del Valle, who was her manager at one point in her career. They've definitely got an amiable sort of camaraderie that comes through in this track, which starts off as kind of a look back at Steele's career before then becoming more focused on her experiences shooting Silent Scream. Lots of interesting stories here about her thoughts on the film, some of her co-stars and more.
The Wheat brothers are also interviewed, with Balding again, for Scream Of Success: 30 Years Later, a forty-one minute look back at the making of the film. The Wheat brothers discuss what went into the picture in terms of the writing and production work, with Balding again sharing some memories from the set. All involved look back on this quite fondly. Silent Scream: The Original Script, a ten-minute featurette, sees the same participants offer up yet more details on the original version of the movie and what the biggest differences are between that original take on things and the movie we have on this disc. In The Wheat Brothers: A Look Back the pair talks about other projects that they've worked on over the years, including some interesting discussion of Pitch Black and some changes that were made from the original story to the version we wound up seeing. Balding also gets a quick three-minute solo interview in which she talks quickly about her work.
The late Denny Harris' final audio interview is also included here. It was recorded over the course of a half hour telephone call and the sound quality is less than perfect but it's still great to see it included here as he talks quite proudly about making this film, his thoughts on the story, the different cast members that he collaborated with and more.
Outside of that we get a theatrical trailer for the feature, menus and chapter selection. This release also comes packaged with some cool reversible cover art – always a nice touch.
Silent Scream takes a little while to get going but once it hits its stride, it proves to be a pretty solid horror picture with some good performances and a few memorably twisted set pieces. The Blu-ray release from Scorpion Releasing is a good one, featuring a beautiful transfer, strong audio and a pretty comprehensive selection of extra features too. All in all, a strong release for a fun movie.
