That first step matters more than you think."

Discover how to adjust your blade parallels when rowing in a mixed crew to get the oar arcs as similar as possible. Timestamps 01:00 Goal is to align the blade arc Set up the boat for a comfortable row - ideally with all the oars moving through the same angles. Know the dimensions of the athletes - how tall are you relative to your wingspan (fingertip to fingertip). 04:00 We do not have to be rigged identically in the boat. Start with the basics - ensure your set up in the boat is good. Start with getting the finishes parallel. Set up your back seat wheel to the same distance behind the face of the work. 58-62 cm is a normal range in sweep. In sculling, it's done by getting the gap between your handles the same at the finish. This assumes you are using oars / sculls which are the same length and inboard. 05:30 Rules for adjusting 1 - Equipment - foot stretchers can be moved easily; can also adjust shoe height to compromise the seat rolling forward (make full compression shorter). Check catch and finish angles for each person. 2 - Rigging - change the span/spread of the pins - a tighter span gives a longer arc at the tip of the blade at the catch. Change the oar length and inboard - for a shorter person shortening the oar length and inboard has a similar effect to tightening the span. 3 - Athletes' bladework - tall people shorten catch angle, less layback at the finish, tap out oars early at the finish. Shorter athletes can row a sequential power phase - using legs before legs and arms rather than simultaneous sequence. Keep arms wider at the catch (sweep use body rotation; sculling use thumbs to push handles sideways over the side of the boat). Hold arms wide in sculling as you initiate the drive for as long as possible. Get the feeling of your feet pushing underneath your handle for as long as possible before the handle starts to move towards you. 12:00 Adaptations are needed Meeting in the middle is worthwhile - tall people row a little shorter and shorter people row a little longer. Use video to assess how you are rowing - record this at firm pressure to get the best insight. Want easy live streams like this? Instant broadcasts to Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn.

We started off this Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast episode by greeting everyone with excitement for July and reflecting on how summer used to be a time packed with massive blockbuster releases. We remember those days fondly, when movie theaters were our second homes during the hot months, and every Tuesday felt like a holiday because we could catch the latest release with cheap tickets.There was a nostalgic vibe as we recalled our favorite old, run-down theaters and how those experiences shaped our love of cinema. We laughed about how everyone's collective obsession with Jonathan Bailey and his iconic glasses proves some things never change.We also acknowledged that the movie industry slowed down during the pandemic, but now it feels like we're back to seeing huge summer releases again, reigniting that buzz we missed. This shift inspired us to look at how adaptations of books to film and TV have evolved over the years, especially with the rise of streaming services and changes in how we consume stories.The Evolution Of Adaptations: Then vs. NowThe hosts pointed out a striking difference between adaptations from the ‘90s and early 2000s compared to what we see today.Back then, it was all about flashy blockbusters: big budgets, famous stars, and marketing campaigns that cared more about spectacle than staying true to the book. We shared examples like The Godfather and James Bond films, where audiences often didn't even realize they were adaptations of books.Even classics like Jaws, Psycho, and The Princess Bride fit this pattern; movies overshadowed their literary origins, and the books themselves rarely got a spotlight.We agreed that while there's still some of that today, there's a clear shift.Audiences are savvier, and studios now emphasize the source material more. Actors talk openly about reading the books to prepare for their roles, which feels like a refreshing change compared to the past when many proudly skipped the novel altogether. We explored how adaptations before 2016 felt more like cash grabs, focusing on box office appeal, but since then, there's been a noticeable effort to respect the author's vision.Book Chat: What's On Our Nightstands?In the middle of the conversation, we took a delightful detour to share what we've been reading. Shirin told us about Death in the Downline, a hilarious dark comedy-meets-murder-mystery involving an MLM scheme.She loved how Maria Abrams nailed the dark humor of direct sales culture, people using tragic events to shill products, which is both absurd and eerily true to life. We couldn't stop laughing at examples of characters offering discounts in honor of the dearly departed.Meanwhile, Meaghan shared her excitement for Girl Next Door, an upcoming debut rom-com with LGBTQ+ themes that touches on complex relationships, high school crushes, and small-town drama. She appreciated how the book balanced lighthearted moments with serious topics, promising readers both depth and laughs. Meaghan promised to post a full review when she finishes, noting its September release.The Rise of Series Adaptations And Author InvolvementWe dove deep into why series adaptations have become the gold standard for book-to-screen translations. We argued that movies simply don't have enough time to do justice to complex plots, inner monologues, and rich world-building.For books with multiple installments or intricate character arcs, a TV series allows creators to flesh out the story over several episodes, or even seasons, giving characters and themes room to breathe.One of the biggest changes we observed is the increasing involvement of authors in adaptations. Unlike decades past, where authors often sold rights and lost control, now many are listed as executive producers or consultants.We pointed to examples like Diana Gabaldon with Outlander, Hugh Howey with Silo, and Robin Carr with Sullivan's Crossing. Having authors directly involved often leads to more faithful adaptations and happier fans. We celebrated how this trend gives authors a say in how their stories are interpreted on screen, and we hope it continues.Hits, Misses, And The Future Of AdaptationsNo conversation about adaptations would be complete without a rant about the bad ones, and we had plenty to say! We revisited flops like the Percy Jackson movies, which aged up characters unnecessarily and lost the heart of the books.We also slammed The Golden Compass movie, which butchered Philip Pullman's incredible series with sloppy storytelling. Shirin even shared how the bad movie adaptation soured her on the later TV version, despite positive reviews.On the flip side, we applauded successful adaptations like Gone Girl, where a high-profile director, a star-studded cast, and respect for the source material made for a gripping film. We also praised Shadow and Bone for creatively merging two series with the help of author Leigh Bardugo, which showed how collaboration can turn a complicated universe into a compelling show.We observed how the rise of streaming giants like Netflix, Amazon, and Apple TV fueled the adaptation boom. With their constant need for new content and big budgets, they tapped into existing books with built-in audiences, ensuring at least some initial interest.We discussed how the social media era amplifies feedback: fans celebrate faithful adaptations but also quickly and loudly condemn bad ones. Studios now have to tread carefully, knowing poor execution will spark viral backlash.We wrapped up by acknowledging that while not every adaptation will please everyone, we're encouraged by the overall trend toward honoring books and giving authors creative input. We feel hopeful about the future, imagining a world where even more stories we love find their way to the screen in ways that stay true to what made them special in the first place.Final Thoughts And What's NextWe closed the episode by teasing upcoming discussions on newer adaptations we're excited about, and some we might dread.We plan to spend the month of July exploring different examples, unpacking what works, what doesn't, and what we'd like to see going forward. We agreed that adaptations don't need to be word-for-word recreations, but we want to see creators who care about the original work and respect what made it resonate with readers in the first place.Ultimately, we're thrilled to see authors getting credit, adaptations getting smarter, and audiences more engaged than ever. We can't wait to continue the conversation and hear what you, our fellow book lovers, think about this evolution. Let's keep hoping for adaptations that make us feel the same magic we did the first time we turned those pages.

My guest is Dr. Melissa Ilardo, Ph.D., professor of biomedical informatics at the University of Utah. We discuss the interplay between genes and behaviors, including how certain behaviors can improve resilience by changing gene and organ function, as well as natural selection events happening in humans today. We also discuss the immune system–related reasons people find the smells of potential mates attractive—or not. We explore how physical and psychological traits are passed from one generation to the next, and the specific behaviors that can influence gene expression to improve health and performance. Melissa explains her lab's pioneering research on breath-hold training and how activation of the dive reflex through breath holding can significantly improve oxygen availability by changing spleen size and function. We also delve into the medical uses and ethics of gene editing to cure disease in both babies and adults. For those interested in genes and inheritance, human performance, immune system function, and natural selection, this episode illustrates the remarkable interplay between human nature and nurture.

On this "What's Your Favorite Fandom?" episode of Fan Effect, Chris Graham of "Games & Things" returns to talk all things Tolkien. While J.R.R. Tolkien's works "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings" always seemed to be a part of Producer KellieAnn's life (even her childhood dog was named after a character), Chris's introduction was more meandering yet meaningful. Together, they discuss the history, impact, and various versions of the beloved fantasy world of Tolkien, as well as how to enter the expansive fandom.  With a world-building so vast, Chris has some recommended sources to explore all things Tolkien: the fan-created wiki the Tolkien Gateway, the 12-part book series History of Middle-Earth, "Tree and Leaf" which is Tolkien's more philosophical writing, "J.R.R. Tolkien: A Biography" by Humphrey Carpenter, Deseret News' article talking to The Rings of Power' showrunner, and of course The Tolkien Professor, Dr. Corey Olsen. (Oh, and we can't forget to include KellieAnn's favorite Lembas Bread recipe to share with her fellow food-loving hobbits.) The brains behind Fan Effect are connoisseurs of categories, surpassing nerdy, with a goal to publish a weekly "What to Watch on the Weekend" minisode taken from KSL-TV's Friday segment, and two deep-dives a month on shows, creative works, artists, local events, and other fandom topics.  Based in the beautiful beehive state, Fan Effect celebrates Utah's unique fan culture as it has been declared The Nerdiest State in America by TIME, and is hosted by KSL Movie Show's Andy Farnsworth and KSL Podcasts' KellieAnn Halvorsen.  Listen regularly on your favorite platform, at kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSLNewsRadio App. Join the conversation on Facebook @FanEffectShow, or Instagram @FanEffectShow. Fan Effect is sponsored by Megaplex Theatres, Utah's premier entertainment destination. 

In this episode of Challenge Accepted, Thomas and Frank head to Ryme City to revisit Detective Pikachu. They explore the film's visual appeal, world-building, and nostalgia, while sharing honest takes on its storytelling flaws. The conversation evolves into a broader discussion about the legacy of the film, its place in the video game adaptation timeline, and dream ideas for future Pokémon spin-offs—including a wild Squirtle Squad firefighter story. This episode is packed with laughs, sharp critiques, and deep fandom love. Timestamps and Topics: 00:00 Introduction to Detective Pikachu 01:00 First impressions and shifting opinions 02:00 Comparing Detective Pikachu to Sonic the Hedgehog 03:00 Movie breakdown and plot summary 08:00 Pokémon worldbuilding and favorite scenes 12:00 Underground fight pit and Pokémon realism 15:00 Tim, Pikachu, and using game logic 18:00 Psyduck, Lucy, and weak character arcs 21:00 Missed story opportunities and writing flaws 24:00 Dreaming up a Squirtle Squad firefighter movie 27:00 Movie's legacy and impact on future game films 30:00 The art of live-action and CGI hybrid filmmaking 33:00 Appreciating effort in adaptations 35:00 Behind-the-scenes facts and filmmaking techniques 38:00 Final thoughts and the future of Pokémon films Key Takeaways: The movie's visuals and Pokémon realism are standout features, especially in Ryme City. Story and character development, especially Lucy's role, felt undercooked. Detective Pikachu helped pave the way for more ambitious and successful video game adaptations like The Last of Us and Sonic. Despite some gripes, the film remains a fun and rewatchable Saturday flick. Practical effects and puppet work played a huge role in creating believable CGI interactions. Thomas pitches a Squirtle Squad spin-off that's too good not to greenlight. Quotes: "Detective Pikachu had to walk so Sonic could run." "Ryan Reynolds didn't become Pikachu—Pikachu became Ryan Reynolds." "This world feels like Pokémon could actually exist. That's the real magic." "Lucy deserved more. Her arc was right there—they just didn't give it to her." "I want the Squirtle Squad to be rogue firefighters. Give them sunglasses. Let's go."

Finding the Balance Between Innovation and AuthenticityMatthew and Riki dive into the complex world of remakes, reboots, and adaptations. The discussion was inspired by Matthew's disappointment with the new Daredevil series and explores why some re-imaginings work while others fall flat.What Makes a Good Adaptation?According to the hosts, successful adaptations require genuine passion for the source material. They highlight Kevin Feige's love for comics as a driving force behind the MCU's success and contrast this with productions where creators seem embarrassed by their source material. Matthew emphasizes that good adaptations honor the "spirit" of the original rather than just visual elements—citing Star Trek as an example where maintaining themes and philosophy matters more than exact visual recreation.Key Questions DiscussedHow important is "faithfulness" to source material, and what does that actually mean?When is it appropriate to modernize elements of older stories?How should adaptations handle characters tied to specific historical events?What's the difference between lovingly poking fun at source material versus seeming embarrassed by it?Should problematic character elements be removed or updated in modern adaptations?How do we balance creator freedom with fan expectations?Notable Examples ExploredThe success of One Piece's live-action adaptation versus other anime adaptationsHow Star Wars maintains visual consistency while evolving its lightsaber choreographyThe growing legitimacy of video game adaptationsHow the Batman character has been interpreted differently across generationsRace and gender-swapping characters in adaptationsThe conversation highlights that with characters that have existed across decades and multiple media, there is rarely one "true version"—just different interpretations that speak to different audiences in different ways. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.
