Creativity through the lens of a screen writer, Emmy nominated producer and podcaster"Creativity is just creating something that wasn't there."Adam “Tex” Davis graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 1993. A scant three years later he'd achieved great success -- as the night manager of Shaun's Bagels in Manhattan. But soon after, "Tex" sold his first screenplay, Sunburned, to Miramax and his second screenplay Just Friends to New Line Cinema. Just Friends went on to become a cult, rom-com classic starring Ryan Reynolds and Anna Farris. Other produced credits soon followed including Spring Break Lawyer, a made-for-cable comedy for MTV; and Gardener of Eden, a dark indie-comedy produced by Leonardo Dicaprio's Appian Way and directed by Entourage's Kevin Connolly.For nearly 20 years, Adam has written, rewritten, or punched-up over 25 feature film scripts for every major studio in Hollywood... and Bachelor Party 2. In addition, Adam has sold original comedy television series to the WB Network, CBS, and Comedy Central.Adam served as Co-Executive Producer and Head Writer for the Emmy nominated, genre-defining, global hit series Brain Games, for the National Geographic Channel. The success of Brain Games led Adam to co-form Atomic Entertainment, a full-service film & TV production company, for which Adam oversees creative content. Along with long-time friend, fellow NYU graduate, and collaborator Jerry Kolber, Atomic created the darkly-comic docu-series, The Internet Ruined My Life (SyFy) and Brainchild, a high-concept, kids' science/variety show, co-produced by Pharrell Williams for Netflix.

Shadow Boxing Helps you with your Algebra!? Welcome back to Teachers Off Duty! This week our hosts Bri Richardson, Jess Smith, and Tyler Jackowski share their best games for student engagement. Everyone loves a good game of Smash Bros or Monopoly, but how does this help us in the classroom? Well maybe these games won't help, but this week we give our opinions on how helpful playing a simple learning game could be, to not only help our students understand our curriculum more, but also have fun in the process. Tyler even takes it a step further by sharing his research on how brain games specifically designed for people who have ADHD/ADD can help them learn faster. Tune in to find out what he found! Now we've all played a good game of Kahoot, but this week we were thinking out of the box and sharing some obscure games that we've played in the classroom, and how they helped our students. For example, Bri has apparently had her kids shadow box in the class before? Well at least they call it shadow boxing, it's kind of a lot to explain, so watch us play it on today's episode. Now if you're looking for new ideas for games in the classroom, we have you covered for that as well! Whether it be as simple as implementing a curriculum into a game of mini basketball, or as complex as making animal noises and running around the classroom, we have something for everyone. So join us this week and we'll give you plenty of ideas on ways to make your classroom more fun and engaging! Jump right to it! 2:52 - Importance of Games in the Classroom 7:29 - Personal Teaching Experiences 19:50 - Creative Classroom Activities 39:51 - Brain Games and Research So go ahead and enter that Kahoot code, but remember it's not all fun and games on this week's episode of Teachers Off Duty.

A world-class performer, speaker, consultant and a pioneer in the application of deception to real-world environments. Apollo Robbins uses pick-pocketing and sleight-of-hand to demonstrate perception management, diversion techniques and self-deception. Known as “The Gentleman Thief,” Robbins first made national news as the man who pick-pocketed the Secret Service while entertaining former U.S. president Jimmy Carter. He has picked the pockets of more than 250,000 men and women. Forbes has called him “an artful manipulator of awareness,” and Wired Magazine has written that “he could steal the wallet of a man who knew he was going to have his pocket picked.” Robbins has been featured in the New Yorker and in numerous publications such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal. He produced and co-hosted the National Geographic program Brain Games, which was nominated for an Emmy as an Outstanding Informational Series. His popular appearance on The Today Show is a YouTube favorite with more than 7 million views. The TED editors described Robbins's talk at TED Global 2013 as a revelation in the flaws of human perception.

I recommended it in The 4-Hour Body in 2010 and did not get paid to do so. I do my best with nutrient-dense meals, of course, but AG1 further covers my bases with vitamins, minerals, and whole-food-sourced micronutrients that support gut health and the immune system.

I want to give my pooch, Molly, the best of everything. This is especially true when it comes to the ingredient quality of her food. But most healthy dog foods are an expensive, frozen mess.

Sundays for Dogs solves my problem with air-dried, high-quality dog food I can store and pour right from my pantry.The magic behind Sundays for Dogs is in their proprietary air-drying method. To lock in nutrients, they gently dry the meat, low and slow.

And meat makes up 90% of their recipes. The other 10% are fruits and veggies, ingredients you'd find at the farmer's market, not at the pharmacy.Get 35% off your first order of Sundays for Dogs by going to SundaysForDogs.com/TIM or by using code TIM at checkout.
