An intimate short documentary about artist Rita Winkler, whose watercolor world reveals a creative process shaped by instinct, rhythm, repetition, and color. Directed by Mark Winkler https://www.instagram.com/ritawinklerart Matthew Toffolo interviewed Helen Winkler and her daughter Rita Winkler, where they discussed their short film "More Colorful World" about Rita's artistic journey. Rita began painting watercolor artwork during COVID-19, starting with virtual art classes and eventually producing hundreds of paintings daily, with themes often inspired by birthdays, holidays, news events, and everyday life at her day program called Danny. Helen explained how she collaborates with Rita to develop art techniques suitable for someone with disabilities and described how Rita's brother-in-law Mark in New York helped create the film and website to showcase her work. The discussion covered Rita's business selling original paintings and prints, her upcoming birthday celebration coinciding with a family gathering, and her participation in an art exhibit in New York with other artists who have Down syndrome. —- Subscribe to the podcast: https://twitter.com/wildsoundpod https://www.instagram.com/wildsoundpod https://www.facebook.com/wildsoundpod —— Love for you to try the Indy Film Festival AP. • Daily new film festival of the best new films from around the world.

https://www.skool.com/circle-of-interval-magicians/about I teach you interval-based composition in 30 days (or less)! From the basics to advanced concepts, I'll guide you step by step. Start your free 7-day trial today, and after that, it's less than one coffee per week! If you're new here, my name is Frank, and I'm the co-founder of the Music Interval Theory Academy (MITA), which I've been running since 2015. I teach composers how to stop guessing and start creating music with real intention, using intervals as the foundation instead of chords. How I got here... ** 1993: Heard the Jurassic Park score in the theater and was blown away. ** 2000: Started to compose and learned traditional theory. Quickly, I hit the same wall most composers hit: the music I wrote was technically correct but forgettable. ** 2005 onwards: Started scoring professionally for animation, film, documentaries, and video games (Disney, Mattel, theme parks, and many others). Built a library of 700+ tracks for production and sync. ** 2015: Everything changed. A workshop with Thomas Chase Jones (TC) flipped the way I think about music. It was all about intervals, and composition got cleaner, faster, and more original. That shift became a system. The system became MITA. ** Since then: hundreds of composers have gone through the Academy. My business partner TC has credits on approximately 1,800 TV shows (Scooby-Doo, Batman, Dexter's Lab, Tom and Jerry — look him up). Together, we teach what most music schools don't. On this channel, I share the exact methods I use to help composers find their voice, work faster, and stop feeling stuck. If you've ever felt like your music sounds too generic, or like you understand theory but still can't quite control what you're creating, you're in the right place. Never stop composing, Frank

The tragic death of a Texas teen allegedly from an energy drink is heartbreaking (full stop). But when government officials (like Texas Attorney General) attempt to connect the dots between “bright packaging aesthetics” and energy drink brands deceptively marketing to minors…it ends up sounding downright silly. As a parent, I'm totally onboard with protecting children…but banning colorful cans won't fix a lack of consumer awareness on safe caffeine limits for developing bodies. And I don't want to get into the energy drinks versus coffee debate, but what I will say is that at least energy drinks labeling (especially Alani Nu and CELSIUS) voluntarily lists the caffeine amount clear as day…along with carrying specific statements on age (and maturity) of the user. These serve as an example of the corporate responsibility from these beverage companies that provide a clear statement that the products aren't to be used by children. Now, if there are specific issues, supported by data, like the need for font size to be larger than currently required by Federal Law on some areas of energy drinks so that they are easier to see, as that would be more beneficial to inform consumers, I'm confident any industry stakeholder would be happy to explore those conversations with the FDA (or any government official) and find ways of working together for the benefit of all concerned parties. But I'm curious…would you support an age-restriction law on energy drinks in the United States?

Welcome to the daily304 – your window into Wonderful, Almost Heaven, West Virginia. Today is Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From WV TOURISM – Fall is calling in Almost Heaven Leaves are falling. Country roads are calling. And one of West Virginia's most spectacular seasons is almost here. As the third most forested state, West Virginia puts on quite a show each autumn, and the Department of Tourism's fall travel hub can help you find the best of it. Start with the 2026 Fall Foliage Forecast, then build an adventure around leaf peeping, hiking, waterfall hunting, whitewater rafting, fishing, ATV excursions or a ride aboard a scenic train. You can also take on the Almost Heaven SWINGO Challenge, follow a fall road trip through the Greenbrier Valley or Potomac Highlands, or sign up for weekly foliage updates so you know when the colors are peaking in your favorite part of the state. And if you want to make a weekend of it, cabins, resorts, festivals and fall getaways are waiting across the Mountain State. Cool air. Colorful mountains. Country roads. Sounds like fall in Almost Heaven. Read more: https://wvtourism.com/seasons/fall/ #2 – From WEST VIRGINIA WATCH – Passing West Virginia traditions to the next generation Some traditions aren't learned from a book. They're learned from another person. The West Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Program pairs expert traditional artists with dedicated apprentices for a year of one-on-one learning in music, dance, crafts, foodways, storytelling and other traditions rooted in Mountain State communities. Since 2017, apprenticeships have covered everything from clawhammer banjo and old-time fiddle to mushroom foraging, gardening, fiddle repair, Appalachian storytelling and soul food cooking. Each mentor and apprentice pair creates its own work plan and participates in public presentations and a final showcase. Teaching artists receive a $3,000 stipend, apprentices receive $800, and pairs may request another $400 for eligible expenses. Applications for the 2026-27 program are due September 18, and mentors and their proposed apprentices must apply together. It's more than teaching a skill. It's helping make sure the stories, knowledge and traditions of West Virginia communities keep moving forward.

There's a big green caterpillar out there with an even bigger appetite. The tomato hornworm and its close relative, the tobacco hornworm, can grow up to four inches long and quickly strip the leaves from tomato plants. One hornworm can eat up to four times its weight in leaves and fruit every day, and just two mature caterpillars can defoliate an entire tomato or tobacco plant. They're also pretty good at hiding. Their green coloring blends into tomato foliage, so WVU Extension recommends checking plants at least twice a week. One giveaway is the dark, BB-sized droppings hornworms leave on leaves below where they're feeding. The simplest control? Pick them off by hand. But if you find a hornworm covered in tiny white cocoons, leave it alone. Those are from parasitic wasps, natural predators that eventually kill the hornworm and go looking for others. Sometimes Mother Nature brings her own pest control.

Fall may feel like the end of the gardening season, but for many spring-flowering plants, it's just the beginning. In this episode of The Evergreen Thumb, Erin explores fall planting in Washington, with a focus on spring-flowering bulbs and other geophytes. We'll look at why fall is the right time to plant many of these plants, how soil temperature affects planting timing, and what Washington gardeners should consider when deciding when to get their bulbs in the ground. We'll talk about familiar garden favorites such as daffodils, tulips, and hyacinths, along with some less familiar native geophytes, including camas and fawn lilies for seasonal interest and to support regional biodiversity.

Flower colors do much more than make a garden beautiful!

(Aug 14, 2026) A Plattsburgh woman has written a new book about the extraordinary life and career of the "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" singer

Send us Fan MailI met Anastasia Rolek years ago in the most random way and we somehow discovered that we are each ultrarunners, although in Anastasia's case, she is way more successful than I am. In addition, she is a lot more colorful, being well-known for running races dressed as Supergirl, Beast Mode Barbie, and as a unicorn. You might say that Anastasia is a flat land ultramarathon specialist, having placed second in the Prairie Spirit 100 in Kansas five times. But this year she got into Western States, the grandaddy of 100 mile races, which she finished in 28:32:06, although not without some anxious moments leading up to the run. Like many in the ultra world, Anastasia found a new community after battling addiction to alcohol, and she describes the setbacks she encountered during those turbulent times. Through the uplifting ultra community, she found her now-new husband, Aaron Lozier, who has supported this journey as well as crewed her, and he joins us on this episode to make it even more fun. Anastasia is following in Aaron's steps into the rock climbing world, and has her sights set on taking on the Badwater 135, having crewed for another runner there last year. And you'll learn how petrified Anastasia is of cockroaches!My Running With Problems podcast episode with Miranda Williamson and Jon Eisen:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/running-with-problems/id1684062687?i=1000778933670Anastasia RolekInstagram @anastasiasupergyrlFacebook Anastasia RolekAaron LozierInstagram @ajlozierBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook and LinkedIn Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @coachstahlYouTube We Are Superman PodcastSubscribe to our Substack for my archive of articles of coaching tips developed from my more than three decades of experience, wild and funny stories from my long coaching career, the wit and wisdom of David, and highlights of some of the best WASP episodes from the past that I feel are worthwhile giving another listen.Search either We Are Superman Podcast or @billstahl8Register for the American Heroes Run: https://ultrasignup.com/register.aspx?did=133138

What does it take to stop competing on price and start commanding attention? One word. Your core belief. In this episode of the Business of Story, host Park Howell sits down with Brian Burkhart, founder of Square Planet and one of America's top communication strategists, to reveal why most businesses become invisible commodities — and exactly what to do about it. Brian has spent decades helping Fortune 500 leaders, CEDx speakers, and senior executives find the single galvanizing word that transforms how teams align, how audiences feel, and how brands compete. His insight is simple and powerful: if you can't name what you stand for, you won't stand out. In this episode you'll discover: How to distill your core belief into one powerful word that galvanizes your entire organization Brian's 10-step ancient Stoic framework that works for any presentation, pitch, or keynote How to reverse-engineer your core beliefs directly from your daily actions Why your audience decides with feelings first — and how to make art that activates them The Mad Men "It's Toasted" moment that proves one idea beats every feature list Brian Burkhart defines art as "the unnecessary done on purpose to make someone feel." Sprinkles on cupcakes. Colorful hospital walls. Hotel turndown service. None of it is necessary. All of it creates enthrallment. And enthrallment is exactly what separates unforgettable brands from forgotten commodities. Whether you're preparing a Monday morning presentation, a keynote, or a company-wide initiative, this episode gives you the tools to find your North Star — and make it impossible to ignore.

During this energizing EDVIEW360 episode, we welcome Michelle Sullivan—literacy coach, reading interventionist, and creator of The Colorful Classroom—for a conversation about what it truly takes to make evidence‑based literacy instruction engaging, meaningful, and human.Drawing on more than a decade of experience supporting teachers and her signature COLORFUL philosophy, Sullivan shares how educators can bring both joy and rigor to the science of reading. She discusses why engagement is not an “extra,” how intentional use of language and design can deepen learning, and why morphology deserves a bigger place in everyday instruction. Sullivan also offers practical examples teachers can immediately use to help students connect with words, build knowledge, and feel successful as readers.Listeners will hear Sullivan's belief that literacy instruction should be vibrant, accessible, and rooted in research—and when educators blend the art and science of teaching, they create classrooms where every learner can thrive.This conversation is perfect for teachers, literacy coaches, and leaders seeking to elevate instruction, strengthen student engagement, and bring more color—literally and figuratively—into their reading block.What You Will Learn:How to bring joy and engagement back into literacy instruction using Sullivan's COLORFUL approach to instruction along with her blend of creativity and evidence‑based practiceWhy language-rich classrooms accelerate reading growth, and how teachers can intentionally build vocabulary, background knowledge, and discourse into daily routinesThe power of morphology—and why teaching word parts helps all students, especially those who struggle, unlock meaning and confidencePractical ways to design lessons that are both structured and vibrant, ensuring students experience success while staying deeply engagedHow to connect research to real classroom moments, making the science of reading feel doable, human, and energizing for teachersStrategies for supporting diverse learners through routines that honor students' voices, build independence, and create a sense of belongingWhy engagement is not an “extra” but a critical component of effective literacy instruction that strengthens attention, memory, and motivation

We have officially gone too far today, and I blame the Friday energy. What started as an innocent debate about what color your jiz would be if you could choose it somehow spiralled into Meg confessing she completely skipped second base for years. Dan nearly lost his mind, and yes, we closed the week with a literal game of 'Guess the Fart.' You're not ready for this chaos.

The Hidden Struggles Behind Comics: C.J. Standal Explores the True Cost of the Industry For most fans, comics are magic. Colorful worlds. Incredible heroes. Epic adventures. But behind every comic book page lies a reality most readers never see. Late nights. Creative battles. Financial uncertainty. And a constant tug-of-war between artistic passion and economic survival. That's exactly what writer C.J. Standal explores in his powerful new book Comics: The Call and the Cost, a thought-provoking collection of essays examining the history and struggles of comic book creators. Standal returns to the Comic Crusaders Podcast with host Al Mega to dive deep into the stories behind the medium. Originally written for the Cartoonist Cooperative Journal, these essays explore the deeper forces shaping the comics industry. The book tackles topics like: • The history of the comic book labor movement • The intersection of art and capitalism • The sacrifices creators make for their craft • The real-life politics surrounding comics creation One of the most fascinating essays in the collection, "The Cost of Comics: A History of the Comic Book Labor Movement," reveals the often overlooked battles creators have fought for recognition and fair compensation. Another essay explores the artistic and business philosophies of legendary creators Charles Schulz, Jim Davis, and Bill Watterson, examining how each navigated the complex relationship between creativity and corporate influence. Standal's work reminds readers that comics are more than entertainment. They are the product of dedication, resilience, and artistic conviction. The book will be available in print, ebook, and audiobook formats, with narration by Nancy Bober bringing the essays to life in a new medium. For fans of The Comics Journal, TwoMorrows, and comics scholarship, this is an essential read. But even casual readers will find themselves gaining a deeper appreciation for the people who dedicate their lives to making comics. Because behind every panel… There's a creator answering the call—no matter the cost.

Walk into an expensive "Innovation Lab" or High Tech Cutting Edge University Makerspace, and you'll probably see a laser cutter, a 3D printer or two, all kinds of expensive technology and the adjacent software and screens that make it possible. That's cool. But that's also a high barrier to entry. Does it really have to be that way? And how did the maker movement come to sit so deep in pricey STEM territory? You probably know I've always admired the work of Angela Stockman, writing makerspace pioneer. She's been on this podcast several times, and I love what she shares around having students build ideas across modes, using free or inexpensive materials to help them construct concepts, characters, and storylines. In our interview a few years ago, she said: "When we ask kids to build, they typically come up with ideas they wouldn't have otherwise. When we ask kids to build and then talk about what they have built, the complexity of their ideas is usually higher." These feel like very worthwhile goals to me - kids coming up with innovative, complex ideas. But let's be clear, we don't have to ask kids to build on a 3D printer or learn to code in order to help them extend and amplify their thinking through maker tools. Angela has always said that, but the proliferation of high tech makerspaces can be hard to drown out when thinking about this issue. Making is not about having one specific tool. It's about what making can give to kids in terms of their development of ideas, as Stockman suggest above, and in their development as learners too (Cohen). When students make, they make choices, they make mistakes, they recover. Ideally, they develop new skills at the same time that they develop a growth mindset around iterating. Today on the podcast, let's talk about a fun new free tool I've created for you to help your students build their ideas.
