I like to step outside of the mundane human perspective and try to see things the way that the rest of nature does. This has led me to research using ultraviolet light to see hidden information that the rest of the world uses. I have pictures of examples of my research on my instagram @chucky_danger We are super excited to announce that you can now purchase Let's Get Freaky merch!

Since then, most counties in every state have implemented this program.In 2015, Judge Stephens saw the need and established a VTC for Comal County in Texas.Donna and Jay talk with Judge Stephens about Veteran Treatment Court, what led him to bring it to his county, how it is structured, and what the future looks like.

Considered one of the leaders of a current generation of Buddhist teachers, Lama Rod Owens is a Buddhist minister, author, activist, and an authorized Lama—or Buddhist teacher—in the Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism. Through his writings, teachings, and travels Lama Rod invites everyone into his life intersections as a Black, queer male who was born and raised in the South, and heavily influenced by the church and its community. In this episode, Lama Rod is joined by Executive Director of the Counter Narrative Project, Charles Stephens, for a conversation about how unmetabolized anger—and the grief, hurt, and transhistorical trauma beneath it—needs to be explored, respected, and fully embodied to heal from heartbreak and begin to walk the path of liberation.

"Demon Semen" Rainstorm Brainstorm, Episode 2 Time: afternoon Condition: overcast, into light showers Location: (Austin, TX) Guests: ChuckyBlk https://soundcloud.com/chucky-blk https://twitter.com/chuckyblk https://www.instagram.com/chucky.blk/ Topic: Magic, Mysticism & Music on the patio with a friend Narrative Abstraction: Determining the theoretical characteristics of Demon ejaculate among other topics. Host Morgan Booksh ventures to his previous workplace patio to enjoy a pleasant bout of conversation with Charles Stephens (aka @ChuckyBlk) after his shift ends. Although the rain had not yet started, the smell of it was in the air. Morgan lights a cigarette as Charles brings up that the POTUS has unwittingly retweeted a hydroxychloroquine-pushing doctor who's also a believer in Demon Sperm. Upon multiple reassurances the story was not a joke, Morgan questions Charles about what Demon Semen would be like assuming Demons were real. The companions, both on the patio of a Magic: the Gathering shop, naturally find their way to discussing various black majiks, gnostic creation myths & demonic theories. The rain is gentle and steady; the two enjoy a rare summer breeze...

Part 2 of our coverage of The Atlanta Child Murders, which left a horrific scar on not only Atlanta, but America as a whole. There were over 29 victims, and the case remains a massive injustice to the Black community. Repercussions of this miscarriage of justice can still be seen and felt today. More than 40 years later, there are still more questions than answers. Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and former APD police chief Erika Shields have reopened up to 157 cases that may all be linked, and hopefully justice can finally be served. We are dedicating the next few episodes to the victims. Their names are Edward Hope Smith, Alfred Evans, Milton Harvey, Yusuf Bell, Angel Lanier, Jeffery Mathis, Eric Middlebrooks, Christopher Richardson, LaTonya Wilson, Aaron Wyche, Anthony Carter, Earl Terrell, Clifford Jones, Darron Glass, Charles Stephens, Aaron Jackson, Patrick Rogers, Lubie Geter, Terry Pue, Patrick Baltazar, Curtis Walker, Joseph Bell, Timothy Hill, William Barrett, Eddie Duncan, Larry Rogers, Michael McIntosh, Jimmy Ray Payne, John Porter, Nathaniel Cater.

Steven G. Fullwood was the archivist who founded the “In The Life Archive” at the Schomberg Center for Research in Black Culture, a part of the New York Public library.

Moore). His Nomadic Archivist Project documents and preserves the African Diasporic experience. This initiative partners with organizations, institutions, and individuals to establish, preserve, and enhance collections. Fullwood lives to document the history of people of African descent. He believes it is a privilege to do so for many good reasons: primarily, doing so allows him to pay the appropriate respect to people of African descent in Africa, as well as in the African diaspora. Fullwood is also the Vice President of Fire & Ink. Fire & Ink is recognized as the most influential supporter and advocate for GLBT writers of African descent. He is currently at work on his first film short, Timothy, or Timothy to the Future.

Volatility Views 57: Turning the Tables on Mark Sebastian Volatility Review: VIX is back this week, after it ended unchanged at 0.0 before last week's Option Block episodes. Time will tell as we see what happens in Europe. NASDAQ one- and three-month realized volatility has had almost no movement at all, but the trend is surely upward. Volatility Viewpoint: Long-time panelist Mark Sebastian gets the chance to sit in the guest's seat and discusses what Option Pit is and the world of options education. Mail Bag: Answering listener questions.CBOE is in the process of changing the way they list weekly options. How do you think the change will impact weekly options volatility, as well as the way they perform? Thanks again and I love the show. You guys make my commute to work a little more bearable. (Via Facebook from Chris Monty) In a time spread, which risk/opportunity should I really focus on: gamma or vega? It seems like trading time spreads is essentially finding a proper balance between these two. (Via email from Theodore Johnson, Boise, ID) I'm and expat American currently living and trading in Germany. As an old-school options trader, I've always considered myself first-and-foremost a volatility trader. I mostly view my positions and I'm always looking for interesting new products like VolContracts, VIX, etc., that will provide me with a new way to hedge/trade volatility. When I moved to Frankfurt, I was very surprised to find that most of my European colleagues don't share that perspective. They aren't up on the latest vol products/research and don't tend to view themselves as vol traders. I've found this baffling so I thought I would write to the authority on volatility to see if I am completely nuts or if this is a well-documented situation. Is vol trading, and the interest in vol products, primarily a localized American phenomenon, or am I just hanging with the wrong crowd over here? (Via email from Charles Stephens, Frankfurt, Germany) Crystal Ball: We'll have to keep an eye on Europe, but expect little change in realized volatility. There will be a break in S&P in one direction or the other.
