In today's episode, Chinny and Emmett welcome Tim Rasmussen who not only has a degree in Peace Transformation, but is also the host of the podcast Pop Violence. The Play It Forward team borrows Pop Violence's concept of reviewing “movie/films that interlace critical perspectives about violence, justice, conflict, and peace” by discussing the film ‘Sound of Metal'. Through their conversation, themes from the movie begin to align with some of PeacePlayers core values such as ‘inside out transformation' and ‘seeing people as people'. Listen to learn how! For those who have not yet seen ‘Sound of Metal', We forgot to provide a description of the movie in the episode so here's one from Rotten Tomatoes: “During a series of adrenaline-fueled one-night gigs, itinerant punk-metal drummer Ruben (Riz Ahmed) begins to experience intermittent hearing loss. When a specialist tells him his condition will rapidly worsen, he thinks his music career — and with it his life — is over. His bandmate and girlfriend Lou (Olivia Cooke) checks the recovering heroin addict into a secluded sober house for the deaf in hopes it will prevent a relapse and help him learn to adapt to his new situation. But after being welcomed into a community that accepts him just as he is, Ruben has to choose between his equilibrium and the drive to reclaim the life he once knew. Utilizing startling, innovative sound design techniques, director Darius Marder takes audiences inside Ruben's experience to vividly recreate his journey into a rarely examined world.” Love movies and peace building and social justice? Be sure to check out Tim's podcast, PopViolence and follow its instagram account @pop.violence for news on the show! Chinny and Emmett were guests on the show and they discussed the movie ‘Invictus'!

CHUCK: Joe Eames. JOE: Hey there. CHUCK: I’m Charles Max Wood from DevChat.TV. And this week, we have a special guest, Adam Hawkins. ADAM: Hey, how you guys doing? CHUCK: Terrific. So, you want to introduce your self since you’re new to the show? ADAM: Yeah. My name is Adam Hawkins. I’m primarily a Ruby guy but have come to the JavaScript world through Ember and browser applications. I’ve been here now for about a year and a half and just learning as I go along, CHUCK: Nice. So anyway, you recommended that we talk about build tools and then you wrote a blog post about it. We talked about build tools, I think on Episode 2 or 3 or something. In your mind, what are build tools? ADAM: Well, I think a build tool is something that you need to create a JavaScript application. There is a distinction between, say maybe an application or something [inaudible] that needs CoffeeScript or something like that versus a full-blown application that runs on the browser which needs modules, asset pre-compilation, templates, all those sorts of stuff, and testing and things like that. So, on one end, you have build tools that simply do the compilation and the concatenation, and then you have other tools that aim to be like a whole development environment. So, there is a large spectrum and you just have to choose which you need, basically. CHUCK: What kind of a build process do you guys have on the projects that you work on? ADAM: Well, okay. My background is, we are building a CRM with Ember.js and we needed a lot of different things. Well, my team prefers to write in CoffeeScript and use Sass. So, we needed those two things right away. Then we needed module compilation and then also asset concatenation, minification, as well as environment support. We need to develop a certain code and then deploy a certain code and a few other things. So, it’s pretty complicated and we needed a tool to do that. Well, I wrote one after looking at what’s out there. JAMISON: So,
