As if providing evidence of his new ways, Dorian tells Lord Henry of his most recent love affair, and claims that he spared the poor girl, from a relationship with him, by leaving her unblemished. Lord Henry dismisses Dorian's reformations, and turns the conversation to other subjects, namely, Alan Campbell's death and the mystery of Basil's disappearance. Dorian asks if he has considered that Basil could have been murdered. Lord Henry dismisses the idea, and when Dorian asks what he would think if Dorian said that he killed him, Lord Henry laughs away the notion of it, saying that murder is too vulgar a thing for Dorian to have done.

  In this conversation, Christian Bacasa interviews Alan Campbell, a fly fishing guide from Grand Rapids, Michigan. They discuss Alan's guide service and his focus on smallmouth bass and pike fishing. They cover topics such as fishing in the spring, transitioning from conventional fishing to fly fishing, and changing tactics for summer fishing. In this conversation, Allen Campbell shares his insights on fly fishing for smallmouth bass and pike. He discusses the different water levels and how to target fish in various areas, such as log jams and eddies. Allen also provides tips on approaching points and islands, as well as setting up rods for different fishing scenarios. Overall, this conversation offers valuable advice for fly anglers looking to improve their skills and catch more fish.   Takeaways   Alan Campbell is a fly fishing guide based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, specializing in smallmouth bass and pike fishing. In the spring, Alan focuses on fishing slower sections of water and targeting areas where fish are preparing to spawn. Transitioning from conventional fishing to fly fishing can be beneficial, as conventional anglers often have a good understanding of fish behavior and can apply their knowledge to fly fishing techniques. In the summer, Alan recommends fishing early in the morning for topwater action and moving to deeper water and structure as the day progresses. When fishing topwater, casting at a 90-degree angle to the bank and using smaller flies can be effective. Understanding the different water levels and how fish relate to them is crucial for successful fly fishing. Targeting specific areas like log jams and eddies can yield great results. Using intermediate and full sink lines can help get flies to the desired depth and keep them in the strike zone. Choosing the right rod weight for the target species and fishing conditions is important for casting and controlling the fly.

Born as the daughter of a Lithuanian refugee, best-selling author Ruta Sepetys has harnessed the power of story to highlight the lives of those who would otherwise become lost in the cracks of history. Her impact goes far beyond the pages of her novels. She was honored by the President of Lithuania for her contributions to education and memory preservation. And she has received her own commemorative postage stamp. She says she is extremely proud of her Baltic heritage, even if that means she has a name no one can pronounce. (Incidentally, it rhymes with spaghettis.) Though she is best known for historical novels, after numerous requests from readers about how one would go about recording their own history, she has turned her pen to non-fiction. Her new book: "You: the Story: - A Writer's Guide to Craft Through Memory" provides aspiring writers with a roadmap to crafting compelling stories by encouraging them to look inward and excavate their own memories. This week on Watching America, she joins host Dr. Alan Campbell to explore the power of history, story, and self-reflection. https://rutasepetys.com

As a bright November morning dawns over a seemingly tranquil Dorian Gray, a nightmare from the night before gazes upon him in silence. Even in the hallowed refuge of sleep, he cannot escape the relentless hold of the heinous act that he had committed the night before. Dorian may appear in peaceful slumber but underneath, like a single drop of ink slowly spreading through clear water, the guilt and horror of his actions seep into consciousness.A cruel twist of fate prompts Dorian to confront the man he murdered, Basil Hallward, in broad daylight. The sight is a ghastly reminder that wicked deeds are best left within confines of dimly lit corners and shadows. "Such hideous things were for the darkness, not for the day," Wilde reminds us. As Dorian struggles to bear the weight of his crime, he paradoxically reminisces about past conquests, those that brought a perverse joy to his senses and intellect, a joy that the murder of his friend failed to bring. In his desperation, Dorian turns to his former friend, the brilliant but pragmatic scientist, Alan Campbell. With a note threatening exposure, Dorian manipulates Campbell into removing any evidence of the vile act: the lifeless body of Basil Hallward. Campbell, despite his initial resistance, succumbs to Dorian's blackmail providing a chilling glimpse into how lives intertwine in a web of manipulation and surrender.As Dorian rids himself of his tragic connections with Basil and Alan, his alienation from humanity deepens—Dorian is lost alone in the reflection of his flawless image that conceals a rotting soul. Meanwhile, moral boundaries dissolve and human relationships morph into tools for self-preservation.

Poet and professor Brad Buchanan was diagnosed with a rare form of T-cell lymphoma in February 2015, and after chemotherapy and radiation treatments, underwent a stem cell transplant at the U.C.

Dr. Dacher Keltner, the founding director of the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley, has spent years studying the biological and evolutionary origins of human emotion. His latest book, "Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life," presents a radical investigation and deeply personal inquiry into the elusive emotion of awe. In this week's episode he talks with host Dr. Alan Campbell about how a season of profound grief led the scientist to re-evaluate some of his long-held ideas about life and death, the areas in which he experiences awe the most, and the ways scientists have found to study and measure a concept as elusive and complex as awe.
