The Heart of the Matter Podcast: Episode 1
Posted on January 19, 2023 January 20, 2023 by Wynne Leon
It seems that ChatGPT is the hot topic of the week – AI that is capable of writing text. My brother has written a series of posts talking about its capabilities and impact on industry. Brenda wrote a post about the concerns of educators and also software that can detect it.
But you know what I'm fairly certain what AI can't do? Tell heart stories about friendship, connection, warmth, and growth.
In his new book, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, Dacher Keltner, a professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, gathered stories of awe from people in twenty-six countries. He and his PhD students distilled themes from these stories and his overall takeaway from this project and his other efforts to study awe is this:
"How can we live the good life? One enlivened by joy and community and meaning, that brings us a sense of worth and belonging and strengthens the people and natural environments around us? Now, twenty years into teaching happiness, I have an answer:
FIND AWE."
Dacher Keltner, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life
In our own small effort to find awe, today we are launching the podcast for Sharing The Heart of the Matter. It's a podcast that is going to focus on the telling of heart stories. The stories that move us, bring new perspective, and most of all, matter.
In our first episode, Vicki and I talk about why we are here – creating a podcast in a world full of podcasts. And also recounting how we connected as bloggers and friends thinking about community.
Here's the link to the podcast (you can also search for and subscribe on Spotify or Apple podcasts as Sharing the Heart of the Matter) or via this link on Anchor: Episode 1: Why We Are Here We are on Spotify and Apple now and hope to be on other podcast platforms soon as we get this rolling. Our plan is to release a podcast every Friday morning.

Wynne Leon is an optimist, an enthusiast of endurance sports and a woman intent in charting her own path. Which is a combination that has led to an unconventional life. When she was younger a life of adventure meant climbing mountains, traveling the world and being an entrepreneur. More recently, it's been starting a family as a single parent at age 46, having another child at age 50 and adopting a highly-strung kitten, even though she really is a dog person. Her writing projects include technical computer manuals, articles about meditation and parenting, and Finding My Father's Faith, a memoir about spirituality, solace and her relationship with her beloved father.

If you like, you can also refer to me as "Dr. Vicki" because that's another part of my identity. I hold the credential of licensed counselor and earned degrees in counseling, psychology and a doctorate in adult and higher education, enjoying many years as a counselor/therapist, and as a college Dean.
I'm also a consultant in my own leadership and life coaching business and I love what I do. Most importantly, I'm blessed to be a mom and I'm proud to say my husband's my best friend. Oh – I'm also the guardian for my disabled sister whose life has been a labyrinth of challenges. That's me!
I'm also a thinker and an ambivert – the personality type that's equal parts extraverted and introverted. I believe in the power of individual expression to uncover strengths and to 'make meaning' in our lives. My quiet side enjoys the solitary opportunities to think and mull as I write about 'what matters most'. Reflection is wonderful – but equally impactful? The lift and positivity that comes from readers, fellow storytellers as experiences are shared.

Audience of One says:
Wow, wow, wow! My heart is just so full. I love the Iead-in to the podcast (and am excited to know your brother's on Substack. He just gained a new follower 😊).
I was jotting notes as I listed to you and Vicki, and there's just too much to comment on. But I guess the over-arching takeaway for me was your discussion about vulnerability and authenticity. By sharing who we are – not who we wish to be or who we wish to be presented as – we connect at a deep/heart level.
There honestly was so much I got out out of this podcast, and I'm grateful to you both. Besides that, it was exceptional well done!
One last thing – in the interest of authenticity, I'll be honest enough to say I hadn't been sold on the podcast idea. I supported it because I support the two of you, but internally I wasn't "there." But after hearing this first episode, I get it. It brings a whole new dynamic to the connectivity taking place here. Hearing the emotion behind the words. Hearing the voices. So, I'm in now. ☺ Thank you both for what you're doing! ❤
Wynne Leon says:
There's so much to love about this comment, Kendra. First, I'm laughing that you weren't sold on podcasting – you are gracious to be supportive. But I love that we sold you on it! And secondly, the "By sharing who we are – not who we wish to be or who we wish to be presented as – we connect at a deep/heart level." Wow wow wow – yes!
And thank you for following my brother. I'm so grateful to be connected to you!! Can't wait to see where this journey takes us all!!
Honesty at it's finest. 😆
And I'm grateful as well! 🤗❤
🙂 ❤ ❤
Esoterica says:
I have to parrot everything Kendra said. The podcast episode was incredible! Similar to Kendra, I was totally supportive of the project, but wasn't completely sold that it was filling a niche nor about getting involved myself. However, after hearing the first episode, I get it, and I can't wait to hear future conversations. ❤
I love love love that one episode converted you… 🙂 ❤ Thanks for the wonderful and warm feedback, Erin!
Oh, Kendra! Thank you so much, you speedy listener, you! 😉 I appreciate your point about 'why podcasting' because I've shared it — along with 'why blog' but Wynne keeps reminding me that there can be millions of both – blogging and podcasting platforms – but being true to our intentions and voice? That's the point! And…thank you so much for joining us in the journey. xoxoxo! 💕

Just listened to your podcast and thought it was very well done. Didn't hear much about Wynne's book, but got a good feel for what you and your team hope to do with the Heart of the Matter blogs and podcasts.
You have definitely launched into a whole new career!!!
And, love the piece you just wrote 'Heart, Mind and Soul!' What a beautiful way to link Bro`st Heart and our tattoos. Fun to read and so meaningful.
Your sister, Linda
Thanks, Linda! Stay tuned for next week's episode — it will be all about Wynne's book, "Finding My Father's Faith." So grateful to you for listening…Wynne, too! And…I'm glad you liked my post today about you…and our tattoos! Xo! ❤❤❤
Oh, oh, oh – this is a comment from THE Linda! So nice to meet you!
Thanks for the lovely feedback and tuning in to hear our hearts, plans, and visions!
Seaxwulf the Sperg-Hammer says:
I don't think I like this A.I. business at all. There's already too much to be skeptical about without wondering about whether or not a person is a robot if you aren't dialoguing face to face. But I tend to agree. I think it's a while yet before A.I. can develop convincing sensorial or experiential algorithms.
What a good point about interacting online. I just had a support experience where I'm pretty sure I was just talking with a bot but it wasn't clear.
Yes, I agree a convincing sensorial or experiential algorithm will be hard to replicate – maybe nearly impossible? Human emotions are complex things! Thanks for reading and commenting!
Creepy. You're welcome, and I hope it is next to impossible. I don't think any good will come of taking this too far. Survey says it hasn't yet.

This might be a bit esoteric, and certainly off the wall, but here it is anyway.
Makes for a pretty consistent, if incestuous, party.
Once there is a threat to the beasties' lives, they begin to release spores - which would only be haploid, containing one half of the full gene - and these spores later combine to make 'children' of the previous generation. Really close, and resembling the parents, but hardly identical. Add to that the sheer number of beasties we are talking about and there is a lot of room for variance.
It is amazing that in the end it is the strongest, fittest yeasts that 'weed out' the rest of the possible yeasts and bacteria. The best illustration that I have heard is that it is like a really green grass lawn - if it is well tended it will choke out the other species.
But then, arguably, some of the best sourdoughs are symbiotic relationships with yeast and lactose friendly bacteria. I will not make any allegory for this group, and I'll just be pleased with the fine flavor and smile!
So I dried my starter before we left for our trip and have some living in my freezer . . . We have friends staying with us (leaving tomorrow morning) and they would like to take some starter to maintain. The problem: they have a several-day drive. Will this work? Anything special to do to protect the starter on the drive? Will temperature hurt it?
Any help in the next 12 hours would be greatly appreciated!!
Nope, shouldn't be a problem. If it's kept in the car with the AC on (and I'll bet even if not) it should be fine. I revived some I'd completely lost track of that was sitting on a shelf by a sunny window and above the hot air vent for TWO YEARS and it still came back. I bet a couple of days in room-ish temp won't affect it any.
Do YOU have some of your starter dried and saved yet? It's awfully - nay, ridiculously - simple to do and gets you "Starter Insurance" with no monthly payments required. No salesman will call and you don't need a physical!
Don't wait until disaster strikes and "wish" you had done it.
Paul, you saved me! I dried my starter way back in June 2010....thank goodness because I uncovered my starter about 10 days ago and discovered MOLD! Followed your tutorial for reviving the dried stuff, and it's beautiful.

Anne (---)
Charts Ancestors of Harriet Hanson Robinson
Anne (---), whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), was born say 1600.1 She died at Lynn, Essex Co., Massachusetts, 4 December 1669.2
Anne married (1) (---) Hutchinson, whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), say 1620;3 she married (2) Adam Hawkes, son of John Hawkes, at Charlestown, Suffolk Co., Massachusetts, before 1631.4,5,6
That her first husband was a Hutchinson is made clear by a series of depositions in a court case in 1658 involving her son John Hawkes contesting Mr. Joseph Cooke about a horse. "Thomas Hutchson testified that his father-in-law, Adam Hakes, gave to his son, John Hakes, such a colt, and he put it to Isaac Hearte to keep." Samuel Hutchinson, Francis Hutchinson, and Elizabet (Hutchinson) Hart and Isaac Hart also deposed in the case, but did not give relationships in their depositions. Further, Adam's estate was distributed, in part, to Frances Hutchisson, Samwell Huchisson, Thomas Huchisson, Edward Huchisson, and Elizabeth Hart. No record of this Hutchinson family has been found in England.
There has been conjecture that Anne's maiden name was Browne, and was perhaps related in some way to Nicholas Browne of Reading due to some testimony Thomas Browne and his wife Mary (Newhall) Browne gave regarding their "cousin John Hawcks." While possible, there are many other plausible explanation for the relationship.5
(---) Hutchinson d. bef. 1630
Francis Hutchinson7 b. say 1621, d. aft. 1672

Q: Django inspectdb not creating primary keys When I run python manage.py inspectdb --database totals > modelstest.py it appears to function as expected and I get my models, but it does not create primary keys and add an id field although everything I can find online says it does, little confused. I went into my settings file and added DEFAULT_AUTO_FIELD='django.db.models.AutoField' but now when I try to migrate again there is nothing to migrate, I flushed my db and tried to migrate again but it didn't really do anything, a little confused how I can migrate again to kick in that auto field setting now?
Generated model:
class Nbav8(models.Model):
    home_team_field = models.TextField(db_column='HOME TEAM:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    away_team_field = models.TextField(db_column='AWAY TEAM:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    projected_points_field = models.FloatField(db_column='PROJECTED POINTS:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    home_injury = models.TextField(db_column='Home Injury', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters.
    away_injury = models.TextField(db_column='Away Injury', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters.
    game_points_with_formula_field = models.BigIntegerField(db_column='GAME POINTS WITH FORMULA:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    game_money_line_field = models.FloatField(db_column='GAME MONEY LINE:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    over_or_under = models.TextField(db_column='OVER OR UNDER', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters.

    class Meta:
        db_table = 'nbav8'

Removed the managed field per comment.

A: So I was able to get this working by adding an auto incrementing id field in the mysql database. I also set the model up as managed = True
class Nbav8(models.Model):
    home_team_field = models.TextField(db_column='HOME TEAM:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    away_team_field = models.TextField(db_column='AWAY TEAM:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    projected_points_field = models.FloatField(db_column='PROJECTED POINTS:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    home_injury = models.TextField(db_column='Home Injury', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters.
    away_injury = models.TextField(db_column='Away Injury', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters.
    game_points_with_formula_field = models.BigIntegerField(db_column='GAME POINTS WITH FORMULA:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    game_money_line_field = models.FloatField(db_column='GAME MONEY LINE:', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters. Field renamed because it ended with '_'.
    over_or_under = models.TextField(db_column='OVER OR UNDER', blank=True, null=True)  # Field name made lowercase. Field renamed to remove unsuitable characters.

    class Meta:
        managed = True
        db_table = 'nbav8'

I now have a pk from the auto incrementing id field from my db, note that it does not show as a model field, that was confusing me as well but it is there as a primary key.

Can Libya Survive More US Assistance? – OpEd
February 2, 2016 Arab News 0 Comments
By Arab News
By Linda S. Heard
Daesh is losing ground and income from sales of oil in both Syria and Iraq. Foreign fighters have had their wages cut by half. Under pressure from US-led coalition, Russian and Syrian regime bombs and renewed resistance from local populations, the group is eyeing the area around the oil-rich Libyan city of Sirte as its new "capital."
Daesh terrorists have succeeded in taking the towns of Bin Jawad and As-Sidr, gateways to the export of oil as well as a key refinery, with relative ease.
The Obama administration, which celebrated the demise of Muammar Qaddafi, and contributed US airpower, military advisers and CIA operatives to ensure his downfall, is said to be so alarmed at the potential of Libya mirroring Syria that, according to a Pentagon spokesman, a range of military options including air strikes are being studied.
The British government is similarly concerned rightly fearing a massive influx of Daesh fighters on the Mediterranean would pose a direct threat to Europe and government officials have hinted Libya could be next on its target list.
US and British Special Forces have been operating within Libya for some time in conjunction with the Libyan Army — or so they claim. But a lawmaker from the internationally-recognized Parliament in Tobruk claims that 20 US soldiers dropped into the country with their vehicles were disarmed by Libyan forces and told to quit Libyan soil. The Pentagon denies this account saying the soldiers were ordered out by a local militia.
Good intentions aside, questions remain as to whether those western countries which helped break a functioning state whose people lived in security and relative prosperity are capable of fixing it and would the various political players, armed militias and tribes that are unable to agree on a common cause welcome their efforts? It's been proved that airstrikes alone even with the complicity of governments cannot cure the disease that is Daesh; they only setback its ambitions while taking a toll on civilian lives.
Let's face it. Obama's regional policies have until now has been an abject failure on just about every score. Why should Libya be any different?
Conflicts rage on in Iraq. Syrians die or starve or flee daily while US-sponsored peace talks struggle to get off the ground. His stances toward post-revolution Egypt have resulted in a loss of American influence over the most-populated Arab nation; his wooing of Iran has rearranged the regional deckchairs in the ayatollahs favor. His promise to dedicate his presidency to the emergence of a Palestinian state during his reach out to the Muslim World made in Cairo University is long forgotten. He now boasts "I am the closest thing to a Jew that ever sat in the Oval Office".
He has no golden Midas touch. Everything he touches in MENA region turns to dust, so if Libyans view the prospect of US airstrikes with a certain amount of skepticism, who can blame them!
Not only are the US and Europe worried about Daesh dominating a proportion of Libya, so is Egypt, where one of its branches operates within the northern Sinai Peninsula, Algeria that is being threatened and infiltrated and, of course, Tunisia where foreign tourists and security personnel have come under attack.
Egypt has shown willingness to engage proactively against Daesh in Libya but when the Egyptian Air Force answered the group's beheading of Copts with air strikes, Cairo received only criticism from the White House.
One of the most effective forces within Libya is the Libyan National Army commanded by Gen. Khalifa Haftar who exerts influence over the government in Tobruk and has an excellent relationship with Egyptian authorities.
If there is to be an initiative to erase Daesh from Libya it should be Arab driven and will require ground forces; a step too far for Obama and his European counterparts.
An Algerian-Egyptian-Tunisian military alliance would be preferable to the usual suspects the US, UK and France repeating the same old mistakes in the hope this time there will be a different outcome. As long as the same failed formula is used, there rarely is!

Carolijn Mariëlle Brouwer (* 25. Juli 1973 in Leiden, Provinz Südholland) ist eine niederländisch-belgische Seglerin, Olympiateilnehmerin und mehrfache Weltmeisterin. Die Sportlerin war lange Mitglied im Yachtclub WV Braassemermeer am gleichnamigen Binnensee in Roelofarendsveen, Hauptort der Gemeinde Alkemade in der Provinz Südholland, und startete in jüngerer Zeit für den Ostend Racing & Sailing Club (OSRC) im belgischen Ostende.

Leben
Carolijn Brouwer kam zwar in Südholland zur Welt, verbrachte ihre Kindheit jedoch in Brasilien und für eine kurze Zeit in Zaire. In ihrem 15. Lebensjahr kam sie zurück in die Niederlande. Nach dem Schulabschluss studierte sie an der Universität Leiden, die sie mit einem Diplom für Sprachen und lateinamerikanische Kultur verließ; neben Niederländisch spricht die Sportlerin Spanisch, Englisch, Portugiesisch, Französisch und Deutsch.

Um mit ihrem belgischen Freund Sébastien Godefroid im Zweihand-Katamaran an den Olympischen Sommerspielen 2008 in Peking teilnehmen zu können, nahm sie die belgische Staatsbürgerschaft an und startete bei diesen Spielen für Belgien. Zuvor hatte sie bei der Olympiade zweimal die niederländische Mannschaft vertreten.

Sportliche Erfolge

Internationale Regatten und Bootswechsel

Ihren ersten großen Erfolg als Seglerin erreichte Carolijn Brouwer bei den Jugend-Weltmeisterschaften 1991 (IYRU Youth World Championship, Schottland) in der dazumal nicht-olympischen Bootsklasse Laser, einer technisch einfach gehaltenen, aber nicht anspruchslosen Einhand-Jolle. In der gleichen Klasse gewann sie dann 1993 die Segel-Weltmeisterschaften in Takapuna, Auckland. 1996 wurde sie in Palma de Mallorca vor Karianne Eikeland aus Norwegen erneut Weltmeistern und 1998 wiederholte sie diesen Erfolg bei der Travemünder Woche vor der Doppelolympiasiegerin Shirley Robertson, jeweils in der olympischen Einhand-Jolle Europe. 1998 war sie zudem als Preisträgerin des ISAF Rolex World Sailor of the Year Award der International Sailing Federation (ISAF) Weltseglerin des Jahres. Brouwer nahm mehrfach an der Volvo Ocean Race teil, einer Segelregatta, die einmal um die ganze Welt verläuft. Zu den vielen weiteren Wettbewerben, die Carolijn Brouwer bestritt, zählte das größte Segelsportereignis der Welt, die Kieler Woche. In der Europe-Klasse gewann sie die Regatta 1998 und 2002.

Aufgrund der starken Konkurrenz im eigenen Land durch Margriet Matthijsse wurde sie trotz ihrer Weltmeistertitel nicht für die Olympischen Spiele 1996 in Atlanta nominiert. Da ihr für die Spiele 2000 das gleiche Schicksal drohte, wechselte sie in die 470er Jolle, eine Zweimann-Rennjolle mit Trapez und Spinnaker. Nachdem sie in dieser Klasse weder 2000 noch 2004 eine Olympiamedaille gewinnen konnte, wechselte sie nach 2005 erneut die Bootsklasse und bildete mit ihrem belgischen Freund Sébastien Godefroid ein Team im offenen Tornado (Zweihand-Katamaran). Nach intensivem Training erreichte das Paar, das sich inzwischen auf privater Ebene wieder getrennt hatte, 2007 in Cascais die Vizeweltmeisterschaft hinter der spanischen Crew Fernando Echávarri/Antón Paz.

Olympiateilnahmen
Brouwer nahm an drei Olympischen Sommerspielen teil und erzielte dabei 2008 mit einem 12. Platz ihr bestes Resultat. Sie startete erstmals bei den Spielen 2000 in Sydney und belegte im Olympic Sailing Shore in der Rushcutters Bay gemeinsam mit ihrer Partnerin Alexandra Verbeek den 13. Platz in der 470er Jolle. Bei den Spielen 2004 in Athen ging sie in der Einhand-Jolle Europe in den Wettbewerb und kam im Olympischen Segelzentrum Agios Kosmas als 19. ins Ziel. Nach der Annahme der belgischen Staatsbürgerschaft gehörte sie dann 2008 in Peking erstmals zum belgischen Olympiateam. Hier erreichte sie im Internationalen Segelzentrum Qingdao gemeinsam mit ihrem Partner und ehemaligen Freund Sébastien Godefroid den 12. Platz im offenen Tornado. In dieser Segelregatta war sie als einzige Frau am Start.

Sportliche Konkurrenz zu ihrem neuen Lebensgefährten
Carolijn Brouwer ist inzwischen eng befreundet mit dem australischen Segler Darren Bundock. Der zweifache olympische Silbermedaillengewinner und sechsfache Weltmeister startet in vielen Wettbewerben in direkter Konkurrenz zu Brouwer. So beispielsweise bei den Olympischen Spielen 2008. Hatte Brouwer (mit Godefroid) in der Qualifikation als zweites Team noch zwei Plätze vor ihrem neuen Lebensgefährten gelegen, musste sie sich im Finale geschlagen geben und kam lediglich auf den 12. Platz, während Bundock/Ashby die Silbermedaille gewannen. Bei der Weltmeisterschaft 2007 in Portugal hingegen schlug Brouwer ihren neuen Lebensgefährten und Titelverteidiger Bundock und wurde Vizeweltmeisterin; das Team Bundock, das im folgenden Jahr wieder gewann, erreichte hier keine Medaille. "Ich mag es nicht, wenn sie mich schlägt. Aber ich mag es auch nicht, wenn mich sonst jemand besiegt", sagte Bundock vor der Weltmeisterschaft in Portugal der Zeitung The Australian. "Ich möchte, dass sie hier wirklich gut abschneidet. Gold und Silber zu gewinnen wäre ein Traum. Solange wir es sind, die Gold gewinnen. Da draußen auf dem Wasser werden wir ihr keinen Millimeter schenken. Und sie uns auch nicht." Über die Konkurrenz des Seglerpaares berichtete die Zeitschrift Stern 2008 unter der Überschrift Beziehungswirrwarr im Tornado.

Als Präsidentin und Vizepräsident der internationalen Tornadoklassenvereinigung ITA bemüht sich das Seglerpaar gemeinsam um eine Aufhebung des Beschlusses des Weltseglerverbandes, den Tornado bei den Spielen 2012 in London aus dem Olympischen Segelprogramm zu streichen.

I spent my last day in Barcelona enjoying the beach area of the Barceloneta. Was a beautiful sunny day, i walked on the beach, had lunch and took photos everywhere. I visited and had a drink at the W Hotel with a spectacular view on the sea. Sometimes is the best to stop thinking and just relax and enjoy moments in life. Thank you Barcelona to make me breath again.

Derrick Pumaren returns as La Salle coach
MANILA -- Derrick Pumaren has returned to the La Salle bench after being named the team's new coach for the upcoming University Athletic Association of the Philippines (UAAP) season.
The Green Archers announced on Tuesday that Pumaren will take over the spot vacated by Gian Nazario as their chief tactician.
Nazario, however, will remain with Pumaren's coaching staff as an assistant coach.
Pumaren first coached La Salle from 1986-1991, winning back-to-back titles in 1989 and 1990.
He recently coached the University of the East, his alma mater, in the UAAP from 2014-2017.
Pumaren is expected to make his second debut as the Green Archers' coach in the PBA D-League, where they are confirmed to be participating in the upcoming Aspirants Cup. (PNA)

'Orphan' Prequel Will See Isabelle Fuhrman Return As Esther
Claire Epting Published: November 3, 2020
Orphan, the disturbing 2011 horror film, will be getting a prequel titled Orphan: First Kill. Isabelle Fuhrman, who played the lead role of Esther, will be reprising the chilling character for the new project. William Brent Bell (The Boy, The Devil Inside) is set to direct the picture, with a script penned by David Coggeshall. David Leslie Johnson, who wrote the first movie, will serve as executive producer alongside Jen Gorton.
For those who need a refresher, Esther is supposedly a Russian nine-year-old orphan girl who is adopted by the Colemans (played by Peter Sarsgaard and Vera Farmiga). However, they learn (SPOILERS) that Esther is a 33-year-old woman with hypopituitarism, a form of dwarfism that causes her to look like a child. Esther's intentions are anything but good, and she begins to wreak havoc on the Colemans.
Fuhrman's challenging role in Orphan was her breakout moment in Hollywood. Since then, the now 23-year-old has a list of credits that include The Hunger Games, Masters of Sex, and Escape Room 2. Now, she will return to the character almost a decade later. She will act alongside Julia Stiles, whose role has yet to be announced.
Orphan: First Kill is being produced by Dark Castle Entertainment and Entertainment One, with filming currently underway. We still don't know much about the prequel's plot, but we can guess that we'll finally learn the truth about Esther's dark, demented past.

SLV BOD Pleased to Announce New General Manager/Chief Operating Officer
The Savannah Lakes Village Board of Directors (SLVBOD) at its board meeting today, August 21, 2013, voted to promote Kirk Smith to the position of general manager/chief operating officer effective immediately. For the past four months, Kirk has been serving in this capacity as acting chief operating officer, and he has done an outstanding job performing these duties. In addition to his strong marketing skills, Kirk understands the business, has a great financial background, and has demonstrated a strong leadership talent. Over the last four months, Kirk has also demonstrated his ability to make the necessary decisions to reduce costs without affecting SLV's ability to increase revenue and residential growth.
Kirk joined Savannah Lakes Village on October 8, 2001 as the marketing/communications manager. In 2006 he was promoted to the director of marketing. In this role, he also worked very close with the chief operating officer to assist him in the overall operations and community planning. Kirk has a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in marketing and management, and a Master of Science in Management.
Kirk is very excited to continue working with his leadership team and to continue the work that needs to be done to drive the community forward.
The SLV BOD is confident that Kirk will continue to do an outstanding job, and they would like the community to join them in congratulating Kirk on his promotion as the new general manager/chief operating officer.

The only ingredients are rhubarb and sugar!
We combined 14 quarts of chopped rhubarb with 7 cups of sugar to make 15 canned pints and one scant quart of sauce for immediate use.
Both Mom and George lead me in the canning process. Mom helped out with the harvesting and washing. I'm pretty good at chopping, provided I have a good knife.
I haven't opened any of the canned sauce, but it appears to be a success thus far.
"Our" butterfly emerged! Well, I think that it was our butterfly. (See Approaching Autumn.) The tomato stalk that the chrysalis was attached to fell over, like tomatoes do at this time of year. I moved a section of the stalk, with the chrysalis, to the lip of an empty dog bowl and supported it with a bit of rusty barbwire. I would have been more careful, but there were things to be done. Two days later, the dog bowl was back in use, the barbwire was on the table top on the deck, and the chrysalis was nowhere to be seen. George denied seeing a chrysalis before moving the bowl. Which is probably a true statement, regardless of the position of the chrysalis, but didn't lead me to any answers. What we did find while doing chores on September 21, was a newly emerged butterfly.
It was so exciting to see our butterfly, contemplate its past, and speculate on its future that I probably wasn't the best host. I crawled close to it to inspect and photograph it, even before its wings were fully extended. Despite being a sunny day, it was cool and breezy. I wanted the butterfly to be on a sunny, sheltered nectar source. I chased the poor butterfly, probably sealing its demise. Fortunately for the butterfly, I haven't see it since. Getting loved to death is a real possibility around here.
Larry is visiting today. He and George picked pasture apples (no, not that kind!) for the pantry. They peeled and cored them. So far 58 quarts have been canned and there are at least a couple of gallons awaiting canning or eating. I was chief bottle washer, but allowed to peel and core the last apple of the bunch (for today).
Come and visit! We might serve you some apple crisp…after completing a project or two!
The zucchini is here! I am sampling another zucchini bread, this time zucchini gingerbread. It took me quite a while to learn that there is something special about letting a quick bread rest in the pan for 10 minutes after it comes out of the oven. Let it rest nine minutes and the middle of the loaf sticks to the pan, leaving a giant hole in the bottom of the loaf. Rest for 11 minutes, and the loaf is cemented to the pan. Ten minutes = magic. It can't be explained otherwise.
The sale plants at the store were too much for me to resist today. I planted a Van Houtte Spirea (Spiraea x vanhouttei) in the front yard. George planted two Chandler blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Chandler') in the east yard. I am hoping that the "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" theory works for these perennials since they have been in pots in the parking lot since spring.

London's Least Used - Angel Road
London is busy. Which is why me visiting a station in the Greater London area as part of this series is slightly odd. However, Angel Road is used by a fraction of the people who use nearby stations. It isn't down into the hundreds, nor is it in the low thousands, but, with around 33,500 passengers last year, it is the least used station in London, and receives a service that reflects it. Trains only stop around the AM and PM peak, from 6am to 9am and 4pm to 8pm. Even then trains are only every 30-60 minutes, even going with the peak flow. Angel Road is also the least used station in London, a title it has exchanged with Sudbury & Harrow Road for the past years.
I navigated the DLR, Underground and National Rail to get me to Stratford. I then picked up the first down peak service from Stratford to Angel Road, at 16:00. It crawled the distance. The Stratford to Tottenham Hale section has always been a very slow section of railway, and north of Tottenham Hale, the train stopped everywhere between there and Angel Road. As the train approached, it passed the site of a new-build station 300m south of Angel Road, which will open as Meridian Wharf. I will discuss this later on.
The train stopped, and I got out, along with 4 other people.
Angel Road
Angel Road is a weird station. It is surrounded by main roads, industrial areas and fly-tipping. It has a Permit to Travel machine, which doesn't work, Oyster Card readers, but no ticket machine. The departure boards don't work. Other facilities include benches (a lot of them) and a shelter.
The worst part about it is the exit. Instead of leading directly onto the road that runs parallel to the station, there is a path which leads to a load of steps which eventually leads out onto a flyover. This is about 200-300 metres. The route is shown with pictures below.
For a station in this series, it is used quite well. All the trains that stopped either picked up or set down passengers (both in most cases). Two services were cancelled (welcome to Greater Anglia), which resulted in quite a crowd (OK, ten people) forming on the platform. A couple who had been on the platform for about 90 minutes waiting for a train eventually left on foot. I think they had just missed the 15:55 departure, and, with the 16:53 being cancelled, they just got bored and left.
The drama of the evening was provided by this person, pictured below.
He sat down on the edge of the platform, with his legs dangling over the edge. I looked up Network Rail's number and a train passed on the opposite track, the driver sounding the horn loudly. The person did not respond. I had found the number for emergencies, called it, and gave them the information. The next train which passed on the same track as the person was partially obstructing was held at the signal before the station. It approached under extreme caution. Of course, the person had stood up by this point. After 3 trains had passed the platform under caution, the signaller must had cleared the blockage and trains passed at the normal speed. In conclusion, what a complete git. He got on the next service which stopped.
Network Rail also sent a couple of people down to make sure he wasn't still hanging around. He wasn't. I gave them a description and told them where he'd gone. They departed.
I then departed on the next service, repeating the journey out, but in reverse and with a sandwich.
Firstly, don't be an arse on or near the railways.
Secondly, Angel Road and Meridian Water. Meridian Water is a new housing project in the area, that will boost passenger numbers in the area. In order to accommodate this, a new station is being built, and the line from Tottenham Hale to Angel Road is being quadrupled to increase capacity. The new station is situated a few hundred metres south of Angel Road, meaning that Angel Road will be shut. The estimated completion date is 2019.
Thirdly, the reasons for the peak-only service. I was at the station for 2h45m, and every train that stopped had people either get on or get off. It wasn't fantastically busy, but neither was it deserted. Especially as early as 4pm, a time when the PM-peak hasn't really started, the station had a reasonable number of people at it. So, should it have a more frequent and regular service? Yes, it should. But, with the current pathing restrictions on the 2 track West Anglia Main Line, it wouldn't be feasible without slowing down the faster services (Stanstead Express or other Greater Anglia) which also run. The point at which more paths exist is also the point where Angel Road shuts, and Meridian Water opens meaning that it is unlikely that Angel Road will get anything more than the current service level.
Finally, the path. This seems like the worst possible sort of entrance/exit for a station. There is a road less than 10 metres from the up platform, and yet, passengers from there have to go over the footbridge, along the path, up stairs, under the flyover, and up some more stairs to actually get onto the flyover. Observe the diagram below which shows the current route from the station to a nearby hotel (blue) and the one that should be available (red).


A Course in Miracles is a great fast way to undo everything that hurts you HOWEVER, in order for this undoing to occur, you have to become aware of what you have been doing.
You must become aware of the thoughts you have been thinking, the beliefs you have been holding, the words you have been using. Almost everyone is sleeping, with their eyes wide open.
Until you become aware of what you are doing, how automatic you're thinking is, you're sleeping. And there is only one thing to do: WAKE UP.
Once you become aware of how insane the mind is, you can do something about it. But until then you will continue to sleepwalk through life, thinking that other people are doing things to you, and believing bad things are happening to you.
One of the most powerful ideas in A Course in Miracles is that once you project guilt from your mind onto others it cannot be undone.
So it's important to become aware IF you are projecting guilt onto others.
We can't stand our own guilt so we do what we can to get rid of i and the way we do this is to focus our attention on other people.
If you do these things, it means that are projecting guilt, and that it cannot be undone. While you project you guilt OUT THERE onto others, it cannot be undone.
So what do you do? BECOME AWARE.
See yourself as innocent and see everyone else as innocent.
Become aware of when you think things should be different.
Release the person or situation from your version of how you think things should go. This returns to the guilt to you where it can be undone easily.
How do you stop projecting guilt?
Once you know you're doing something that is meaningless to you, you just stop it.
I have heard people say "I don't know how to stop (how to stop attacking, feeling guilty, feeling afraid) and that can only be because you haven't seen its meaninglessness yet. As soon as you see the utter meaninglessness of what you are dragging around with you, you will no longer do it. At that point, it's not even a matter of dropping it. It will drop of itself really because it will hold no interest for you anymore.
This is why in the 40-Day Program for Transformation, I encourage people to stop telling stories for 40 days – to make a commitment for 40 days to watch your thoughts, feelings, words, emotions LIKE A HAWK so that you become aware of the insanity of the mind. Once you are aware of how crazy the mind is, you can do something about it.
Below are the links to 2 new shows I did yesterday – on Unity Radio and in our ACIM Friday Group.
The video from the ACIM Friday morning group is a reminder to NOT WAIT one second longer to wake up. Don't keep sleepwalking through life. Don't wait for healing. Don't wait for other people to change. Don't wait to have more money. Don't wait for your body to change or for your health to change. Don't wait another day – don't wait another minute! – to be alive and to love.
You are Love's Presence. As you allow the blocks and obstacles to be removed from your mind, you become aware of love's presence – which has always been here, but which you could not see while you were blind, deaf and asleep.
Now, it's your turn! Please use the comment to express HOW ARE YOU BEING AWARE?
Are you aware of the places and people you are projecting guilt onto (remember, it's easy to know if you are projecting guilt – you are talking or thinking about someone thinking they should be doing something different or they should somehow be different – whenever you do that, be aware: PROJECTED GUILT! What you project, cannot be undone).
An eye opener,k Lisa ! Thank you. I immediately became aware of guilt I was projecting onto someone dear to me…wow ! all those uncomfortable feelings gone !
Thank you, Lisa. I love you.
Two sentences above -STOP IT- This returns the quilt to you…..right?
I love the clarity of what you said. I devote so much time mentally critiquing what my friends, family, elected officials are doing. On Friday I was furious at dear friends who decided to stay on Florida's coast. Wow, all of that is projected guilt! Thanks, I never saw it that way, but you're so right. And it's so meaningless!
Hi Robert! I corrected it! xoxoxox I love your message. It cannot be undone because while we are projecting we are still participating in the belief in separation. That's why asking the Holy Spirit's help is so valuable – it creates the willingness and openness to be wrong, to take responsibility again for what seems to be happening and then change can occur.
Hi Lisa, thank you for this wonderful message. I took the 40 Day Program and love it. I practice the principles of this program by always watching myself like a hawk. I never realized in all my years of studying ACIM how easy it is to fall back into old patterns. But now I catch myself a lot faster then before and "turn the other way". I love you and the Teachers of God Foundation.
Typo: years (not wars) lol …. talk about a Freudian slip!
The idea that projected guilt cannot be undone really struck me, because I am feeling that I've never seen that written before despite my many years studying the course. Lol omg! Why didn't I see that? And …. does that mean that we project guilt (onto someone/thing) that it cannot be undone because it's then "out there" and that person/thing/situation taken it on and then the proverbial horse has bolted from the gate? Am I getting the correct sense of it here? I suddenly got the shivers that all this time I thought everything could be "undone" by the Holy Spirit if we asked sincerely with a little willingness and surrendered to Him. Would love some clarification on this. I'm so grateful you brought this up, as I was on my way to work and have had to sit down and take a few moments before starting work to absorb this concept. I love you.

The use of trade marks by distributors is a matter that can cause significant legal issues to arise if the terms of any such use have not been properly documented in (or as an addendum to) a formal distribution agreement.
We have seen a number of situations where because either the parties have an informal distribution arrangement or the formal distribution agreement that exists does not deal with trade mark usage, a dispute has arisen as to which party "owns" the trade mark in a particular territory and which parties are entitled to use that trade mark in a particular territory.
As we touched upon in our previous blog, any business that sells the goods and/or services in more than one country (whether directly or through a distributor) should register all relevant trade marks in each of those countries. Failing to do so opens the door for someone else to misuse or even register the mark.
Where there is a distribution arrangement in a particular country (or countries), a formal distribution agreement needs to be entered into. That agreement should provide the distributor with a license to use the relevant marks in the relevant country (or countries) during the term of the agreement. The distribution agreement should state that that license expires upon expiry of the term of the agreement and/or upon termination of the agreement and that any and all usage of the marks is subject to the written approval of the owner of the marks.
While it may seem to be a minor matter while the distribution relationship is on good terms, if ownership and usage of the marks have not been formally dealt with in a distribution agreement, invariably once the relationship sours the first thing that a disenfranchised former distributor will do is seek to register the relevant marks in its own name. This can effectively shut a business out of a market until such time as the question of the ownership of the relevant marks is resolved.

/ Rules Amendment: Politics/Religion

http://www.mudbytes.net/index.php?a=topi...
As a result of the above linked poll, the following amendment has been made to the rules:
"Topics and/or posts on religion and/or politics are not permitted here."
There will be a grace period of 7 days to allow existing topics to wind down, but no new ones should be posted during that time. After that time frame, the ones still open will be locked.

Since a discussion on evolution touches on neither politics nor religion,
I expect that will be allowed to continue.
11 Oct, 2009, Guest wrote in the 3rd comment:
I would expect that not to be the case as no discussion on evolution ever stays separate from religion. Certainly the active one here now has not performed under that expectation.
11 Oct, 2009, Cratylus wrote in the 4th comment:
Perhaps people who bring up religion then could be disciplined, rather
than punish everyone else who is obeying the rules by locking the thread.
11 Oct, 2009, KaVir wrote in the 5th comment:
May I propose a clarification that the rule only apply to real world (as opposed to in-game MUD-related) religion and politics?
11 Oct, 2009, Guest wrote in the 6th comment:
Or you could just abide by the decision and live with it.
I don't think it takes much of a leap of common sense to know that a topic on biological evolution will result in someone bringing it up, period. You want to start splitting hairs, we can surely amend things to cover that, but you could just as easily stop making such a fuss about it to begin with. Or you could take Sandi's advice and go open yourself a forum where evolution can be discussed ad nauseam.
KaVir said:
Yes, you can, and that's a good point.
Topics and/or posts on religion and/or politics as it pertains to the real world are not permitted here.
Or should it have a specific mention of in-game material as an exception?
I don't think it takes much of a leap of common sense to know that a topic on biological evolution will result in someone bringing it up, period.
Except the rule doesn't say "don't bring things up likely to make someone
else talk about religion". The rule doesn't make me responsible for what
other people do. Therefore I expect to be able to start a thread on evolution.
11 Oct, 2009, Sandi wrote in the 8th comment:
The problem is that for some people the mere existence of the "theory of evolution" is either a heresy, or at least a threat, to their beliefs. I feel in fairness to all, it needs to be considered out of bounds.
Sandi said:
Are discussions of astronomy out too, since they refute a 6,000 year old earth?
11 Oct, 2009, Guest wrote in the 10th comment:
Apparently some folks are incapable of functioning on more than just the explicitly stated text. That's not our problem. If you can't reasonably conclude a topic on evolution will spark a religious debate, that's on you, not on the text of the rules.

Cratylus said:
And I expect to see you banned.
I told you, it's not your party.
11 Oct, 2009, Cratylus wrote in the 12th comment:
If evolution is out all I'm saying is put it in the rules so people know. I
sincerely do not think a discussion of evolution falls under that rule,
and if it's meant to, it should say so explicitly.
11 Oct, 2009, Lobotomy wrote in the 13th comment:
ad nauseum.
It's ad nauseam.
That can be arranged, though I think it's a colossal failure of common sense not to realize where such a topic would lead, as it already has here.
I appreciate it being made explicit. Can I have a ruling on astronomy? Is that also forbidden?
Do you have some actual point to make or are you going to nitpick your way through this ad nauseam?
In any case, this is what it's being amended to:
* Topics and/or posts on religion and/or politics are not permitted here. An exception is made for discussion of in-game specific politics and religion.
+ As a secondary to this, topics on Darwinism/biological evolution are also not permitted as they have a high chance of sparking religious flamewars.
+ Other topics will be judged as needed at the discretion of the MudBytes staff.
And in case you really want to nitpick, yes, we're counting admins and moderators together in that lump called "staff".

I certainly won't be involving myself in this farce.

Not sure what you mean by that.
It means I won't be adjudicating topics based on the likelihood of them sparking religious flamewars. I recommend you reserve this duty for yourself.

Abstract: We introduce multiplicative LSTM (mLSTM), a novel recurrent neural network architecture for sequence modelling that combines the long short-term memory (LSTM) and multiplicative recurrent neural network architectures. mLSTM is characterised by its ability to have different recurrent transition functions for each possible input, which we argue makes it more expressive for autoregressive density estimation. We demonstrate empirically that mLSTM outperforms standard LSTM and its deep variants for a range of character level modelling tasks, and that this improvement increases with the complexity of the task. This model achieves a test error of 1.19 bits/character on the last 4 million characters of the Hutter prize dataset when combined with dynamic evaluation.
TL;DR: Combines LSTM and multiplicative RNN architectures; achieves 1.19 bits/character on Hutter prize dataset with dynamic evaluation.


A beautiful Asperula displays its beauty to the world in this mini collage featuring vintage seed catalog styling and Fran?t?ge additions by Fran Seiford. This quality cling-mount rubber stamp is made from deeply etched, precision trimmed premium grey rubber. With 1/8" thick grey foam for a smooth impression on uneven or textured surfaces, it is backed with a full sized, indexed sheet of acrylic cling vinyl. The index allows for exact placement of the image when used with a clear acrylic handle.
