Listen Now to Dr.Mrs. Future Show 10.18.2022  With special in-studio guest, Gabriel Cianfrani, today’s show starts off with a ‘burst,’ as look into the powerful gamma ray burster that lit up our skies earlier this month.  Considered huge, it was nicknammed “BOAT,” the ‘Biggest Of All Time’. We are fortunate that it happened in a galaxy far far away..   We also take a look at the mysterious ‘burp’ of  starstuff, emitted by a supermassive black hole.  Supposedly nothing escapes the event horizon of a black hole, but somehow, remnants of a devoured star did..We wonder why.. Apple Computer had some special announcements today, so our Apple geek, Taylor Barcroft, is in the studio to inform us of the updates in the latest iPads and Apple TV’s. We then delve into several stories involving ‘spin,’ such as the successful Spinlaunch space launches, the ever spinning faster asteroid, and centrifugal coffee.  Callers brought up some amazing aerial stories, such as that of DB Cooper’s plane hijacking, David Blain’s balloon trip, and Col. Terry’s spin on a socio-Ukrainian hot button. Enjoy! The Futures with guest Gabriel Cianfrani

This Week's Guest is Kim Vij! Kim Vij is a Pinterest Consultant, Educator, Blogger, Freelance Writer and Speaker. Using The Educators' Spin On It, she has created award winning boards on Pinterest with over 1.6 Million followers by focusing pins on Education and Parenting. She’s successfully partnered with leading children’s educational bloggers and brands to create powerful Pinterest boards for early childhood education. In the past three years she has discovered how to reach out to parents to encourage them to become their child’s first teacher by blogging and pinning resources and tips onto her Pinterest Boards. As a mom of 3, Kim enjoys sharing simple ways to make every day moments into learning opportunities. Kim and I talk about • What to name your author board. (Hint: Use Pinterest Name-author) • How to pick a niche topic. • How create a character building board. • Naming your boards. • What to use for board descriptions and how tabs connect. • The educational aspects of Pinterest. • How often should you change your board covers? • Promoted pins – paying for pins to be promoted. • Picmonkey.com and Canva.com • What is the maximum size image you can use? • How to pin to secret boards and release later. • Should you use Tailwind or Viraltag or Ahalogy? • Can you change the name of your board? • How to embed your boards on your site. • The steps to a perfect pin. • What should be in your pin description?

Writing is so solitary. I thought it would be a great way to get to talk to my friends and make new ones, plus I could help others learn. Maybe I'd learn some stuff myself, too. I've had the privilege of talking to the first three National Ambassadors for Young People's Literature, to librarians and New York Time's bestselling authors. I've interviewed to booksellers and publishers, writers, illustrators, app creators, and app distributors, and more! There is always something new on the horizon to learn and to share. So many listeners have asked how to support the show, and actually, now you can. I've installed a donate button to help defray the costs of producing the show. What do you learn or get out of Brain Burps every week? If it's worth donating a dollar, two dollars, five, or whatever you think the show is worth to you, it would help enormously. The show costs $20 a month to keep on the server, and that's only if there are four shorter episodes in a month. That number doesn't include other costs like my time to research and record, post, edit the intros and outros, web hosting, and equipment and software to do all this. I ended up loving podcasting. I love my listeners. My "Burpers!" This is my gig, I know. and like I said, it's an incredible experience for me.

I didn't create the alphabet, numbers, colors or shapes but found a way to repackage it for parents, kids and teachers. With a telephone and a computer, I created www.cedarvalleypublishing.com. 10% of all profits are donated to literacy foundations and back to schools.

Created by a mom, they are currently used in over 350 school districts from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon and in libraries and head start programs all across the country.

In fall, I will be releasing the highly anticipated Spanish/English edition of Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten! iA prepararse para kindergarten! My kids think it is hilarious that I am writing a Spanish book without being able to read or write the language. As my 7 year old says, "just hire a translator, duh, anyone can do anything!"

My mantra is if two brothers from Ohio can change the face of aviation, that why can't a mom, inspired by Oprah change education at the core!

But where are the public service announcements telling parents the 7 things they need to know for Kindergarten testing: the alphabet all mixed up, number to 10 all mixed up, basic shapes, colors, coins, counting objects to 10 and how far they can count to 100? Schools purchase my books in bulk to help get parents, kids and teachers all be on the same page of Kindergarten and First Grade!

I created my company when my girls were ages 3 and 1 and I was trying to find something to help them get ready for school. I am not a teacher or educator, and yet I created a book used by schools. I didn't create the alphabet, numbers, colors or shapes but found a way to repackage it for parents, kids and teachers. With a telephone and a computer, I created www.cedarvalleypublishing.com. 10% of all profits are donated to literacy foundations and back to schools.

Created by a mom, they are currently used in over 350 school districts from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon and in libraries and head start programs all across the country. Parents, kids and grandparents all love them because they are not storybooks or workbooks; they are books meant to be read over and over that cover the curriculum for Kindergarten and First Grade. In fall, I will be releasing the highly anticipated Spanish/English edition of Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten! iA prepararse para kindergarten! My kids think it is hilarious that I am writing a Spanish book without being able to read or write the language. As my 7 year old says, "just hire a translator, duh, anyone can do anything!" I am a mom inspired by Oprah to change education. This has become my passion! My mantra is if two brothers from Ohio can change the face of aviation, that why can't a mom, inspired by Oprah change education at the core! Thirty-eight states are discussing all day 4 year-old Kindergarten because kids are not coming to school prepared. But where are the public service announcements telling parents the 7 things they need to know for Kindergarten testing: the alphabet all mixed up, number to 10 all mixed up, basic shapes, colors, coins, counting objects to 10 and how far they can count to 100? Schools purchase my books in bulk to help get parents, kids and teachers all be on the same page of Kindergarten and First Grade! Now I have a national platform speaking to educators, schools, parents and kids! This is a true family business!

I created my company when my girls were ages 3 and 1 and I was trying to find something to help them get ready for school. I am not a teacher or educator, and yet I created a book used by schools. I didn't create the alphabet, numbers, colors or shapes but found a way to repackage it for parents, kids and teachers. With a telephone and a computer, I created www.cedarvalleypublishing.com. 10% of all profits are donated to literacy foundations and back to schools.

Created by a mom, they are currently used in over 350 school districts from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon and in libraries and head start programs all across the country. Parents, kids and grandparents all love them because they are not storybooks or workbooks; they are books meant to be read over and over that cover the curriculum for Kindergarten and First Grade. In fall, I will be releasing the highly anticipated Spanish/English edition of Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten! iA prepararse para kindergarten! My kids think it is hilarious that I am writing a Spanish book without being able to read or write the language. As my 7 year old says, "just hire a translator, duh, anyone can do anything!" I am a mom inspired by Oprah to change education. This has become my passion! My mantra is if two brothers from Ohio can change the face of aviation, that why can't a mom, inspired by Oprah change education at the core!

But where are the public service announcements telling parents the 7 things they need to know for Kindergarten testing: the alphabet all mixed up, number to 10 all mixed up, basic shapes, colors, coins, counting objects to 10 and how far they can count to 100? Schools purchase my books in bulk to help get parents, kids and teachers all be on the same page of Kindergarten and First Grade! Now I have a national platform speaking to educators, schools, parents and kids! This is a true family business!

I didn't create the alphabet, numbers, colors or shapes but found a way to repackage it for parents, kids and teachers.

In fall, I will be releasing the highly anticipated Spanish/English edition of Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten! iA prepararse para kindergarten! My kids think it is hilarious that I am writing a Spanish book without being able to read or write the language. As my 7 year old says, "just hire a translator, duh, anyone can do anything!"

My mantra is if two brothers from Ohio can change the face of aviation, that why can't a mom, inspired by Oprah change education at the core!

But where are the public service announcements telling parents the 7 things they need to know for Kindergarten testing: the alphabet all mixed up, number to 10 all mixed up, basic shapes, colors, coins, counting objects to 10 and how far they can count to 100? Schools purchase my books in bulk to help get parents, kids and teachers all be on the same page of Kindergarten and First Grade!

And, as most families encounter, Nicole's baby daughter Sara eventually faced a diaper rash that would not quit. This sparked Nicole's ingenious solution: she cut the feet off of a pair of snowboarding socks and fitted Sara, from hip to ankle, with a homemade set of legwarmers. Sara was now able to be diaper-free, rash-less, crawl safely on her knees, and debut what would become a trend-setting fashion accessory. Founded in April 2005, BabyLegs is now an international company, with products in more than 50 countries. BabyLegs retail from $12 for an original pair, to $28 for Organic Merino Wool designs. BabyLegs was awarded the "2007 Best New Brand" Earnie Award by Earnshaw's for excellence in children's wear design, and recognized with the World Trade Center Tacoma's "Marco Polo" Award for pioneering trade. A few reasons parents and kids will love BabyLegs this holiday season:  Make diaper changing a breeze!  Fun and festive fashion accessory.  Promotes independence while potty training.  Keeps legs warm; great with carriers and strollers!  Protects soft knees from harsh surfaces.  For sports, playgrounds, and dance classes.  Comfortable alternative to tights.  Allows for "nakedy bottom" time!  Instant alternative to undershirt when worn on arms!  Wear over bandages to keep child from removing.  Helps little socks stay on.
