At long last...! So, one thing after another happened in our lives this summer, and the hiatus lasted longer than we anticipated or intended. But! We are back for another handful of episodes to round out the Season, kicking off today with a readthrough of Lords of Summer. This volume for Changeling: the Lost's first edition explored the concept of freeholds and provided a wealth of information for the four main Courts, giving us a much-needed look at the politics and society of the fae. We also get some fascinating new Entitlements for the Lost who needs some added purpose in their life. As with the other books in the game's first wave, this one is dense with material, and a lot of our discussion has been cut or condensed to fit into the episode. But equally, we hope as always that it's informative and sheds some light on the lore of the 'lings. You can snag a copy of the volume at https://www.storytellersvault.com/en/product/56375?affiliate_id=3063731, and note that it's currently 40% off for the Month of Darkness sale on the Storytellers' Vault.

This show has been flagged as Clean by the host. What is it? Flowers for Algernon is a short science fiction story. Originally that. It was later developed as a novel. How did I come unto it? I know I have heard the title years before. So, when I saw it recently at the entrance on the bookstore, in a beautiful hardcover, I gave it a view. I did not decided to buy, but it stayed with me, specially for having few pages. I knew nothing of the plot, I only recognized the title, vaguely, as something I heard before as a praised work — and Isaac Asimov, who handed Keyes the Hugo Award for this short story, in 1960, as Best Novelette of 1959, "praised it lavishly" (source: Arthur Bruce Evans, of DePauw University. Daniel Keyes's Works ). I then, weeks or months later, searched about.and discovered it was originally a short story. And available online. In the moment of the interest aroused (soon before producing this.HPR episode), I was more than happy with the immediate possibility of reading, instead of having to wait to buy the book or letting it stay until the next visit to the Public Library of Paraná (that is, of my state in Brazil), that might have a copy. The first lines won me, so I kept reading, in two "seats", two moments, on the phone. It is 26 pages long. Now, to the story. The plot (Here starts a full revelation of the plot, if you want to stop listening.) (No personal written notes here, comment made directly to audio — so, more stuttered as I tried to find the ideas and words; thanks for the patience!) Curiosity: The Simpsons "As well as cinematic and stage adaptations, the book inspired a musical, starring Michael Crawford, and an episode of The Simpsons. In the episode, called Homr, Homer Simpson discovers that a crayon lodged in his brain has been responsible for his stupidity. On its removal, Homer becomes clever, only to have the crayon re-inserted after becoming distanced from family and friends. Aired in 2001, the episode won an Emmy for outstanding animated programme." (Source: BBC. Flowers for Algernon writer Daniel Keyes dies at 86 . June 18, 2014.) Ending... the author The author, Daniel Keyes, died on June 15, 2014, aged 86, from complications of pneumonia, at his home in Boca Raton (Florida, USA). His only wife, Aurea Georgina Vazquez, whom he married in 1952, had died one year, one month and one day before, on May 14, 2013.They had two daughters.

Algernon Pharmaceuticals CEO Christopher Moreau joined Steve Darling from Proactive to announce a major milestone in the company's transition toward specialized healthcare services. Algernon has signed a definitive equipment purchase and financing agreement with Catalyst MedTech for four U.S. FDA-cleared Oncovision CareMiBrain brain-specific Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanner systems. These systems will be deployed in Algernon's first four planned neuroimaging medical clinics in the United States. The agreement, valued at over CAD $4 million, is a non-dilutive transaction and also includes provisions for Algernon to acquire an additional six scanner systems on an adjusted cost basis to support the establishment of future clinics. This marks an important step in scaling Algernon's clinic network across North America. Moreau also highlighted that Algernon intends to rebrand as Algernon Health, a move that reflects the company's strategic pivot into the Alzheimer's Disease diagnostic market. The company's neuroimaging clinics will be the first in the U.S. dedicated exclusively to brain-specific PET imaging, focusing on the early detection of Alzheimer's Disease. In addition, the facilities will offer advanced PET imaging for other neurological conditions, including various forms of dementia, epilepsy, neuro-oncology, and movement disorders. Algernon plans to work closely with neurologists, geriatricians, primary care physicians, and other healthcare professionals to generate patient referrals and ensure its clinics are well-integrated into the broader medical ecosystem. The need for brain-specific imaging capacity in the U.S. is significant. While PET/CT scanners exist nationwide, the vast majority — 45% of which are located in hospitals — are prioritized for oncology and cardiology diagnostics, leaving limited availability for timely brain scans. This shortage is particularly pressing given the emerging demand for Alzheimer's diagnostic tools and therapies. Each Alzheimer's PET brain scan at Algernon's planned clinics will cost approximately US$5,000, a service covered in the U.S. by private insurers, Medicare, and Medicaid. By establishing a dedicated network of clinics, Algernon aims to address this critical gap in diagnostic services and position itself at the forefront of the rapidly growing Alzheimer's care market. #proactiveinvestors #algernonpharmaceuticalsinc #cse #agn #otcqb #agnpf #alzheimerdisease #demetia

Algernon Cadwallader is a midwest emo band originally from Pennsylvania. They took a hiatus back in 2012, and now they’re officially back with their first full-length album in more than a decade, Trying Not to Have a Thought. KEXP’s Meerah Powell spoke with some of the members about the band’s revival, their newfound connections to the Pacific Northwest, and how their lyrics leave little room for ambiguity. “I think we’re at a point where there needs to be a little more ‘get pissed’ in everything that people are making,” drummer Nick Tazza says in the interview. “Everyone feels it, and I think we need to stop shying away from it.” On this record, Algernon Cadwallader directly confronts complicated events in America’s political history, from the 1985 bombing of the Philadelphia organization MOVE to the more recent placement of boulders under freeway bridges in Portland to deter homeless people from camping there. “We used to spend so much time in between songs talking about [political issues],” vocalist Peter Helmis says. “Well, now, it just comes along with the music. Anytime someone plays it, they’re hearing the message.” Tazza adds: “We’ve all put a record together that stands for something and it means something. All the bands we loved growing up were super political, and that’s what we cut our teeth on, so to see it come full circle is kind of cool.” Support the show: kexp.org/deeper Photo credit: Scott TroyanSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/sound/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Introducing the Windows 11 Feature Tracker "From the 'I should have done this two years ago' files, the 'I have wasted my life' files, and the, 'great, I needed more work to do' files ... There is a need for this. So I made one. But it will evolve.

I'm reading Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics. We continue with the Odyssey this week. I'm joined this week by my son Jack Drury. Jack is pursuing a Masters in Classics at the University of Chicago, so we are on familiar ground for him here.I'm a beginner at reading the classics, but I've decided to just "crack the book" and get started. Here are a few of my key take-aways from this week:What will I take from this week? Let's see:A deeper understanding of Greek mythology. I have a copy of Bullfinch's Mythology on my bookshelf and will probably be dipping in and out of it soon. A better view of the ancient world, its customs and habits of life. I know it's fiction, but the way the poem describes the interactions between people of different classes, between men and women, and between city-states is eye-opening. I'm tempted to carry my modern worldview into these stories, and to find fault with various people. Instead, I really have to suspend my judgement to understand what is going on and how it compares to what I already know.A richer view of the Bible, believe it or not. I've read the Bible through about ten times (maybe more). Reading other ancient works ADDS to my understanding of the world the ancient Hebrews lived in. It's one thing to understand the Old Testament, but so much richer to understand how very different the Hebrews' struggles with God were compared to the Greeks' encounters with their array of gods and goddesses.Finally, my last take-away is one that deserves its own paragraph. I am angry, honestly, that every bit of this kind of literature was erased from my education. Who did that? Why? Who decided that Flowers for Algernon was worth my attention but Odysseus and Telemachus and Pallas Athena and Penelope weren't?Jack and I also have a long discussion about the heart of the Odyssey. What is it truly about? Is it a homecoming, or a story of exiles, or a model for suffering? How can we as 21st-century Americans relate to these ancient Greeks?This is a year-long challenge! Join me next week as we head to eastward and read Confucius.CONNECTTo read more of my writing, visit my Substack - https://www.cheryldrury.substack.com.Follow me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/cldrury/ LISTENSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5GpySInw1e8IqNQvXow7Lv?si=9ebd5508daa245bdApple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/crack-the-book/id1749793321 Captivate - https://crackthebook.captivate.fm

After a political realignment, I explore the possibility of accepting advertising dollars from a nootropics company. But a brain enhancement pill accident involving my dog has me concerned about a "Flowers for Algernon" type situation.

The short story by Daniel Keyes, “Flowers for Algernon” became so popular it was later turned into a full novel, and then eventually made its way to movie screens. The short story was written in 1958 and first published in the April 1959 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, and was so loved that it won the Hugo Award for Best Short Story in 1960.SOURCES AND REFERENCES FROM THE EPISODE…BOOK: “The Science Fiction Hall of Fame: Volume One, 1929-1964”, https://amzn.to/3SePNlhWeird Darkness theme by Alibi Music Library. = = = = =(Over time links seen above may become invalid, disappear, or have different content.

A tear, Sarah Jane? The Third Doctor on his deathbed forbids it! We (and tear-friendly Fifteen) may look askance these days at the end of Planet of the Spiders, but the bigger question is: has any of the preceding story aged well? Join us as we examine a Frankenstein's spider with too many legs: Pertwee stunts, far-future colonists, “Flowers for Algernon,” ambiguous Mike Yates, arachnophobia, crystallography, tantric Buddhism, one clairvoyant, one exotic dancer, and a little something called reincarnation — whoops, we mean regeneration.

This week on CounterSpin: Corporate economic news can be so abstract that it's disinforming even when it's true. The big idea is that there's something called “the U.S. economy” that can be doing well or poorly, which obscures the reality that we are differently situated, and good news for the stock market, say, may mean nothing, or worse, for me. A people-centered press corps would spell out the meaning of economic “indicators,” not just in terms of their impact on different communities, but in relation to where we want to go as a society that has yet to address deep historical and structural harms. A new report on the current state of the Black economy takes up these questions. We hear from its co-authors: Dedrick Asante-Muhammad is president of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies. Algernon Austin is director of the Race and Economic Justice program at the Center for Economic and Policy Research.     The post Dedrick Asante-Muhammad & Algernon Austin on the Black Economy appeared first on KPFA.

A people-centered press corps would spell out the meaning of economic “indicators” in relation to where we want to go as a society that has yet to address deep historical and structural harms.
