The Bulldog Detective, Law and Crime author series, Dr. Jeffrey D. Simon The Bulldog Detective: William J. Flynn and America's First War against the Mafia, Spies, and Terrorists Hardcover – January 16, 2024 by Jeffrey D. Simon (Author)   America in the early twentieth century was rife with threats. Organized crime groups like the Mafia, German spies embedded behind enemy lines ahead of World War I, package bombs sent throughout the country, and the 1920 Wall Street bombing dominated headlines. Yet the story of the one man tasked with combating these threats has yet to be told. The Bulldog Detective: William J. Flynn and America's First War Against the Mafia, Spies, and Terrorists is the first book to tell the story of Flynn, the first government official to bring down the powerful Mafia, uncover a sophisticated German spy ring in the United States, and launch a formal war on terrorism on his way to becoming one of the most respected and effective law enforcement officials in American history. Long before Eliot Ness and the Untouchables went after Al Capone and the Italian mob in Chicago, Flynn dismantled the first Mafia family to exist in America. Next stop for the indefatigable crime fighter would be Chief of the Secret Service where he would set his crosshairs on the country's most notorious currency counterfeiters. Coined “the Bulldog” for his tenacity, Flynn's fame soared as he exposed Kaiser Germany's sophisticated spy and sabotage ring on the cusp of America's entry into World War I. As the Director of the Bureau of Investigation (the forerunner of the FBI), the Bulldog would devise the first counterterrorist strategy in U.S. history. In this riveting biography, author Jeffrey D. Simon brings to life the forgotten saga of one of America's greatest crime and terrorist fighters. Exquisitely researched, The Bulldog Detective finally uncovers the important legacy of this fascinating man who will now no longer be lost in history.   William J.

1. Psychological routines like the cube or palm reading are great, but don't run more than one in a night.  2. Tone down the cocky funny. Don't neg her more than once, and don't neg a 6.5 or below unless you are an ugly man. 3. Don't get too seductive on the first meet. Save the bedroom eyes for when you have her in a private place. 4. Don't make out with her too passionately on the first meet. Exquisitely tempting lip brushes and dances of the tongues are better day 2 tactics, after rapport has been established. 5. Don't hit on another girl immediately after getting her number. Give it room to breathe, soldier. 6. Don't sound too “polished”. Say something stupid or goofy once in a while, so that she can make fun of you. 7. Expose a vulnerability. Alpha dominance is best served with a garnish of endearing flaws. 8. When you number close, say “I'm looking forward to seeing you.”

"Exquisitely etched, in a luring cadence, a daughter lost, a family fractured, fractioned, all in the lower case, not shouting at us, but hard to read. I had to stop and regain my composure. What is this terrible beauty? Not a theology but something softer, more delicate, unprotected, exposed. What is this? A moving poem, certainly, but also a prayer, a wounded word, a broken hallelujah, where a random hug, a hand held through the night, a shoulder touched, are the only amelioration, the only God worthy of our time, the only God there may be, the only way to keep the future open." John Caputo In this conversation, the guys discuss Jonathan's new book, indigo: the color of grief. This conversation invites the love of God into our loss, disappointment, and fragile trust.

“Lungfish is a force of nature—a deeply felt marvel of a book that navigates grief, parenthood, and the mysteries of family with unrelenting power and precision. Here is a story about the islands we build and carry with us. Here is storytelling at its best.” —Paul Yoon, author of Snow Hunters and Run Me to Earth Tuck is slow to understand the circumstances that have driven her family to an uninhabited island off the coast of Maine, the former home of her deceased grandmother where she once spent her childhood summers. Squatting there now, she must care for her spirited young daughter and scrape together enough money to leave before winter arrives—or before they are found out. Relying on the island for sustenance and answers—bladderwrack, rosehips, tenacious little green crabs; smells held by the damp walls of the house, field guides and religious texts, a failed invention left behind by her missing father—Tuck lives moment-by-moment through the absurdity, beauty, paranoia, and hunger that shoots through her life, as her husband struggles to detox. Exquisitely written and formally daring, Lungfish tells the story of a woman grappling through the lies she has been told—and those she has told herself—to arrive at the truth of who she is and where she must go. Meghan Gilliss's debut is a brilliant and heartbreaking novel about addiction, doubt, marriage, motherhood, and learning to see in the dark. Meghan Gilliss attended the Bennington Writing Seminars and is a fellow of the Hewnoaks Artist Residency. She has worked as a journalist, a bookseller, a librarian, and a hospital worker, and lives in Portland, Maine. Lungfish is her first novel.  Lynn Steger Strong is the author of the novels Hold Still, Want, and Flight. Her non-fiction has appeared in The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, New York, The Paris Review, Time, and elsewhere. She has taught writing at The Pratt Institute, Fairfield University, Catapult, and Columbia University and will be the Visiting Fiction Writer at Bates College for the 2022-2023 school year. She was born and raised in South Florida. ABOUT THE AUTHORS

The theme of the Lord's invitation to us continues, this time accompanied by the lapping waters of the River Vltava, (which means ‘Wild Water,' and is widely known by its German name, the Moldau) as depicted by the Czech composer Bedřich Smetana. Exquisitely performed for us by Fontane Liang, the music beautifully captures the sound of the river as it gathers strength and momentum from its source in the Bohemian mountains, wending its way through a landscape of forests and meadows. It tumbles through the St John's Rapids before widening out again to pass through Prague on its way to the mighty River Elbe. It is music that is iridescent with Smetana's love for his homeland, just as we are illumined by the joy of our eternal home as the Holy Spirit flows through our lives. How we need His water of life sparkling within us! At the scent of water, even that which is drooping and failing springs back to life. Why spend our money and direct all our labour to that which cannot satisfy, when He invites us to receive so much more by His Spirit? Music Moldau from Má Vlast (My Fatherland) by Bedřich Smetana Musician: Fontane Liang From the earliest verses in Genesis, right through to the very end of the Scriptures, we see the great benefits and blessings of water, both physically and spiritually. There are more than seven hundred references to it in the Scriptures – far more occasions than words such as faith or prayer or worship. Thank You Lord that You use water to bring healing, as Naaman discovered when he obeyed the prophet and was healed of his leprosy in the River Jordan, and the blind man likewise, when Jesus enabled him to wash in the pool of Siloam. Thank You that You brought about great deliverance for the people of Israel, first when they crossed the Red Sea and later, the River Jordan at a time when it was in spate. (2 Kings 5:1-14, John 9:1-7; Exodus 14:1-15, 21; Josh. 3:13-17) Rather as protective waters surrounded us in the womb, thank You, Lord, that water symbolises our own deliverance when we were baptised, dying to our old life, and being raised to our new life in Christ. Shepherd of our souls, lead Your people to still waters; give them water to drink even in desert places. How we need the water of life for our bodies and spirit alike! At the scent of water, even that which is drooping and failing springs back to life. Why spend our money and direct all our labour to that which cannot satisfy, when You invite us to receive Your Spirit? We want to listen carefully to You, and to eat what is good, so that our souls can delight in the richest of food, and You can have the joy of seeing a people who are hungering for Your presence, who really are looking for You all the time. So here we are Lord, coming with all our failings and contradictions to receive this soul-replenishing water; coming to buy the wine that gladdens our hearts, and the milk that nourishes our bones. We come to You, leaning in to hear You, listening closely, so that our soul may live. (Is. 55:1-3 BSB)

In which the Mister joins me in reviewing THE EXORCIST (1973), which is currently streaming on Netflix. Written for the screen, from his novel of the same name, William Peter Blatty's story is one of faith and sacrifice. Exquisitely directed by William Friedkin, this film was the first horror movie to be nominated at the Oscars and won awards in the Adapted Screenplay and Sound categories. The story is based on real life events and in the novel we follow Chris MacNeil (Ellen Burstyn), an actress who finds herself in Georgetown working on a film. She is there with her daughter, Regan (a stunning performance by Linda Blair), who is suddenly afflicted by what doctors initially believe to be some physiological disorder but nothing comes from the medical tests. Completely baffled, the doctors suggest Chris get an exorcism, the rational being that the afflicted person believes they've had the demonic presence removed from them and this enables their healing. We come to find out that there's more to this story and Chris enlists Father Karras (Jason Miller) and Father Merrin (Max von Sydow) to expel the evil that resides in Regan and hopefully heal her daughter. The film has a run time of 2 h 2 m and is rated R. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review. This review is dedicated to my BFF, Leo Randazzo, on his special day - love you brother!

From advertising exec in the city to charcoal burner in the woods: a frank and inspiring memoir about letting go of what we're told to want, risking everything to find happiness and the brutal salve of nature. I came to the woods over a decade ago. I came to the woods because there was a fire in my head. On the outside, Ben Short looks like he has it all - a successful career in advertising, a flat in a trendy area of London, an expensive motorbike.... But inside, he's a wreck. Years of suffering with an anxiety disorder and depression have broken him, and his 'creative' career has become sterile and suffocating. A drastic change is needed. Like his neighbour's rescue hawk, he acts on instinct and escapes the city. For a time, he takes on odd jobs - gardening, hedge-laying and labouring in the Cambridgeshire Fens and in the Devon countryside, trying to find somewhere he belongs. That is until he feels the call of the furnace: a glowing charcoal kiln in the West Dorset woods, where he can re-forge his thoughts, put the years of suffering behind him and start afresh by immersing himself in the ancient ways of woods and fire. He lives in huts and old wagons in the woods, hauling water from wells and foraging for his supper. But this is no idyll - the road is hard, the work back-breaking, the woods dark and brimming with powerful energies. Exquisitely written and laced with folklore and the history of burning, the right way to lay a hedge and the age-old wisdom of the woods, Burn is a hopeful story of transformation, a celebration of manual work and craft and a love letter to the English landscape.

Erica Heilman's story "Finn and the Bell" is the best I've heard this year. It's a painful, graceful story about a young man's suicide in rural Vermont. Erica's heart is in the piece; you can hear it in every production and editorial choice. The story of how she made those choices is enlightening.

I teach my clients to how to take EXQUISITELY good care of themselves. My program revolves around learning the importance of taking exquisite care of yourself. I teach self-care strategies. The most important self-care strategy I teach is how to stop putting foods in your body that make you sick with diseases like type 2 diabetes. When we start valuing self-care, we start to understand that the bag of Halloween candy is NOT a treat. It is NOT self care. Anything that causes our bodies to be sick with any disease is NOT a treat. This podcast episode teaches strategies for self-care and the mindset to IMPLMENT them. DO IT!!

On episode # 16 of the Blossom Your Awesome Podcast I am chopping it up with author and coach for creatives Jeff Leisawitz. Jeff's critically acclaimed book Not F*ing Around— the No Bullsh*t Guide for Getting Your Creative Dreams Off the Ground  was so inspiring for me as a creative. It goes beyond just creativity and I was so excited to have this exchange. I knew he'd have some powerful guidance and wisdom for us all and let me tell you Jeff did not disappoint. He seemed to be so at ease with himself and so passionate about sharing his love of creativity with the world.    Jeff believes there is an artist within each and every one of us and creativity can be a powerful means to healing and wholeness.   He breaks it down for me and offers some very awesome insights into the importance and power of creativity and what it means to give this part of yourself to the world. Jeff is a creative, but he says we all are. His own inner creative genius led him to guide other creatives to dig deep and bring out their own creativity in empowering and freeing ways. He shared so many awesome insights. We connected on a very human level and had an incredible conversation about the creative process and its transformative power to heal.We talk about his book, the creative process and how we can overcome roadblocks and the power of learning to allow creativity to flow. Jeff has devoted his life to creativity. He is an award winning musician/ producer, college songwriting prof, critically acclaimed author, distributed filmmaker and internationally in-demand coach for creatives.He teaches us how to overcome our own inner critic, get over our need for perfectionism, let go of fear and failure to create more powerfully and lead a more dynamic life. Jeff speaks powerfully and candidly about the awesomeness of living creatively. He shares this beautiful insight and says,   “At its best, creativity is a way for us to be seen, expressed and connected.”  Exquisitely poetic. 3 Questions I Ask Jeff On This Episode - Well of course I asked him more than three, but here's a little preview of our conversation.  Why is creativity so important?Why has creativity done for you in your life?  What has meant for you?How do we learn to tap into our own inner creative genius?  If you'd like to get a hold of Jeff - His Websiteshttps://jeffleisawitz.comhttps://lovetheory.comFacebook URLhttps://www.facebook.com/AuthorJeffLeisawitz/Twitter URLhttps://twitter.com/nfajeff

A central theme of my podcast is the power of a plant-based diet to enhance the quality of life for both the individual and the whole.Over time, the show has grown to embrace a wider variety of themes—art, entertainment, cuisine, entrepreneurship, spirituality, sports, social justice, creativity, equality, and more—each guest sharing his/her respective expertise and experience.Some conversations traverse more than one field. Only a select few impart powerful, impactful lessons across several.Joanne Molinaro is one such human—a cultural phenomenon who goes by the moniker, The Korean Vegan.Born in Chicago to immigrant parents from what is today North Korea, Joanne is a (soon to be) New York Times bestselling cookbook author, food blogger, marathon runner, social activist and corporate law firm partner (although she just resigned last week) with millions of fans across a variety of social media platforms—including over 2.5 million on TikTok—obsessed with her wisdom-laced and thought-provoking food content, garnering her features on CNN, CBS, The Food Network and many other mainstream media outlets.Joanne's audience isn't just massive, it's insanely engaged—a loyalty rooted in her wholesale re-imagination of the cuisine landscape. Her content is so fresh, so beyond nice photographs or the A-B-C food preparation tutorials to which we've grown accustomed, that it's fair to say Joanne has pioneered an entirely new content genre altogether.Exquisitely captured in irresistible sixty-second short films with a penchant for virality, across her social channels Joanne masterfully entwines food, culture, education and self-improvement with incredibly honest, vulnerable, heartfelt stories about life, relationships, grief, family, divorce, surviving abuse, and the immigrant experience. Her deeply personal yarns tug on the universal—an authentic relatability that leaves most teary-eyed upon each's film's conclusion.One of my most memorable encounters of 2021, our conversation spans her remarkable career balancing corporate law firm partner duties with the full-court demands of her growing voice of public influence. We cover her path to veganism (a journey that ironically began with her husband reading Finding Ultra), her experience as a Korean woman living in the diaspora, the many ways in which food and social justice advocacy intersect, and the importance of humanizing the immigrant story.To read more click here.

Struan Murray author of The Orphans of the Tide and Shipwreck Island is the joint recipient of the Branford Boase award, with editor Ben Horslen.

Struan is Scottish, born and brought up in Edinburgh, but is now working in Oxford, lecturing in biochemistry at Corpus Christi.Liz Hyder winner of the 2020 award and a member of the judging panel said,  ‘This book utterly stole my heart. Exquisitely written, it's a phenomenal page-turner with characters that leap off the page and straight into your imagination. Orphans of the Tide explores lots of big themes - environmental issues, friendship and xenophobia to name but a few - all wrapped up in an utterly compelling tale told by a master storyteller. Struan is an exceptional talent and I can't wait to read everything else he ever writes.'Struan joined Nikki Gamble In The Reading Corner to talk about the award and his novel, and let us know what writing plans he has for the future.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Set against a backdrop of 1950s Cape Cod, New York City, and Mexico, Herrera's poignant memoir is the perfect summer read. Herrera is a critically acclaimed biographer, winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, and now turns her biographer's eye to her own family. UPPER BOHEMIA peels back the layers of a seemingly idyllic, artistic childhood in to explore the complexities of living with unstable, narcissistic parents. For Herrera's parents, both painters, following their artistic inclinations was more important than looking after their children. Her parents each married five times. When Herrera was only three years old, her parents separated. They saw their father only during summers on the Cape, when they and the other neighborhood children would be left to their own devices by parents who were busy painting, writing, or composing music. These adults inhabited a world that Herrera's mother called “upper bohemia,” a milieu of people born to privilege who chose to focus on the life of the mind. Her parents' friends included such literary and artistic heavyweights as artist Max Ernst, writers Edmund Wilson and Mary McCarthy, architect Marcel Breuer, and collector Peggy Guggenheim. On the surface, Herrera's childhood was idyllic and surreal. But underneath, the pain of being a parent's afterthought was acute. Her unique upbringing was expanded by art and by a reverence for nature, but her early years were also marred by abuse and by absent, irresponsible adults. Exquisitely written and unflinchingly honest, UPPER BOHEMIA is ultimately a story of resilience and redemption. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Hayden Herrera is an art historian and the author of biographies of Frida Kahlo, Arshile Gorky, Mary Frank, Isamu Noguchi, and Henri Matisse. Her biography of Gorky was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and her biography of Noguchi won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize. She lives in New York City and Cape Cod. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

And as a mother of three, I decided to start this podcast to shed some light on subjects that I encountered in my life. And to help people understand their own teenagers better, and even their own relationship, what their family members would say, partners. And of course, with their children. This is episode 17 and, Oh my goodness. Everything is slowly but surely returning back to normal schools have started. And we, as parents are able to get a little bit more time to ourselves in between the school runs there and back from school. Have you heard the term self-harming or cutting self-harming or cutting is something that is happening more often than you think. And of course, if anything in today's discussion resonates with you as a parent or with somebody that, you know, then please get in touch. Oh, sent them my number, send me an email and we can set up an appointment and I'd love to help you work through it. We all feel as parents that our role is to keep our children safe. So few things trigger a more immediate panic reaction in parents. When they find out that a child is engaging in self harm. Unfortunately, it's fairly common. And the reaction of the parent plays a very, very important role in helping teams in the recovering process, cutting into the skin. Is the most widely known form of self-harm teens do this using their fingernails, razorblades knives, or even pen caps, anything sharp self harm can also come in forms of other behavior like burning skin, picking hair pulling, or even hitting oneself kids with anxiety, depression. Eating disorders, borderline personality disorders or post-traumatic stresses orders are all at risk for self harm, but some are kids with a history of trauma, neglect, or abuse. Other potential risks for self harm include low self-esteem feeling rejected or lonely feeling unsafe at school or at home perfectionistic behavior frequent conflicts with friends or family. Impulsive behavior or tendency to take unhealthy risks. The sounds like any teenager, I'm sure. So, how do I know if my team is engaging in self-harm? Well, teens who self-harm tend to be skilled at hiding their behavior from their parents, because they're embarrassed. They hide it from their parents, their friends, and other adults in their lives. While some parents might notice scars or marks on the teens, arms, torso, or legs, many of the red flags of South home. Tend to be very subtle. The subject might trigger some serious, um, discomfort, or maybe even concerns with you. And I do invite you. If anything that you listen to today, uh, makes you feel worried about your child. Then please get in touch with me. You can get hold of me on email tracy@tracykimberg.com or you can give me a phone call. My telephone number will be in the notes of the podcast, but most importantly, I would like you to listen very carefully at how you as a parent can handle the situation so that it doesn't get worse. It is perfectly natural to feel very worried. And overwhelmed or even furious and angry. If you discover that your team is using self-harm to cope with their emotions, you might feel an urge to say something like you could, how could you do this to yourself or stop doing this immediately? It's important to remember that most teens who engage in self harm are just as afraid of their behavior, as you are mainly feel extreme guilt. Shame and deeper Morse after they self-harm, it's so important to remain very calm and engage in open and honest communication without judgment snapping criticisms and overreactions will probably result in your team shutting down completely. And isolating herself even more instead and ask open-ended questions about why your team is feeling so sad or overwhelmed and what the contributing factors are to the behavior. And be very sure to let your teenage know that you as their parent are there to listen and that you love them no matter what, it's very important that you get help. If your team is engaging in self-harm, he or she needs professional help, those self-harm is generally not considered suicidal in nature. There is an elevated risk of suicidal behavior, 14 to self harm. If there is an underlying mental health disorder, such as anxiety or depression, sometimes it's better to get help for your teenager. A good first step is to get a comprehensive evaluation done by. A professional sometimes, um, your teen self harm behavior can elevate and it can become life-threatening. And in these situations, your child might even need to go to hospital. Therapy definitely helps teens work through the triggers that contribute to the negative thought patterns and it helps them learn positive coping skills to use instead of engaging in self harm behaviors. So, um, I would suggest to seek. Help from a professional and, um, you know, that can definitely help your teenage learn how to cope better. Some of the therapies that work or even family therapy to explore triggers at home and how the parents and teens can improve their communication patterns and help develop better coping skills for dealing with the stress that might be coming from home. Also individual therapy can help the team to challenge the negative and distressing thoughts and recognize the patterns of negative thinking and learn different replacement strategies. Also learning how to tolerate uncomfortable emotions, better to learn, to regulate feelings of anxiety, rejection, anger, and fear, and learn positive coping skills. Of course for us as parents, our most important role here is to provide emotional support for your team when they are self-harming. They need your support as they slowly but surely learn to replace their maladaptive coping strategies with adaptive ones and work through the emotional pain. Breaking the cycle is not always easy. And teens need so much empathy from us and compassion during the recovery process. Yes. So what triggers self home? Yeah. In teens you might want to know, and this is not really an easy answer. An important part of helping teams recover from self-harm is understanding why they do it in the first place. There isn't a simple answer to the question, as I said, but in general, some teams use self home to relieve the tension by stimulating endorphins, um, while others use self harm to feel physical pain, instead of emotional numbness. Stress and pressure, anxiety and oppression are all associated with self harm in adolescence. Um, they might be a few other feelings that trigger the impulse to engage in self harm. A few of those for instance, are anger, sadness, rejection by their peers or their ad or other adults loneliness. Irritability, social issues, family discord, um, sometimes even social media use, including videos. Yeah. Photos that show other kids cutting to cope with emotional pain. The important thing to remember is. Um, the teams who engage in this behavior often describe a temporary feeling of relief, but it also results in an overwhelming feeling of guilt and shame. So what are the warning signs of, um, Self-harm and how can you look out for these signs? There are a couple of signs, but I always say to parents, trust your instincts. Are you seeing suspicious looking scars wounds that don't heal or get worse? Is your child isolating itself? Are you talking about self-injury and they might mention to them about their peers that are engaging in self-harm. Are they collecting or are you findings, um, sharp objects around their room? Are they being secretive about their behavior? Oh, have they, all of a sudden started wearing long sleeves and long pants or trousers in hot weather? Are they avoiding social activities? Are they wearing lots of weird bandages and plasters? And are they avoiding sports or activities where there might have to change clothes in front of others? And again, I'd like to stress. If you are worried that your team might be engaging in self harm behavior, then please get help or contact me. And we can have a discussion and see where I can help you. But how can you as a parent help your team? That's self homes. Teens who self-harm are usually depressed and overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, and pressure. So they also tend to be very skilled in hiding their pain from their friends, their parents, their teachers, and their coaches. And they can. Probably, um, postings anonymously online to find support and, um, a community that will support them. If they find a recovery community, they can share their experiences through journaling messaging, or perhaps even art. This can be helpful for teens. But if on the other hand, they stumble upon a community that supports the self-harm behavior. It can result in the teen feeling helpless and continuing the behavior. Teens who self-harm need treatment. That is the bottom line. And the first step is to seek help from someone who knows what they're doing. Either a therapist, a psychotherapist or psychiatrist. Um, but you can't just ignore the issue depending on the underlying triggers and emotions beneath the Selma pharm behaviors. There are different types of therapies and interventions that we as therapists use. So, um, you know, it's definitely important to get the help. You know, it's so easy to blame social media for everything, but there is a lot of talk that social media can trigger self home. Despite the efforts of social media sites, to curb posting images and videos and other disturbing content that actually promotes or normalize the self harm. There are very clear guidelines now. And. This is a step in the right direction. The problem, however, is that it's very easy to decline the offer and proceed to the potentially triggering content, which is out there. Teens sometimes turn to social media to find support, but they also turn to social media to validate and feel normal in their self-harm. There are hashtags specifically created to help people who self harm support one another in making positive choices when they feel the urge. But there are also so many hashtags out there that show some fairly disturbing content. Given that the teens are savvy on social media, much more than us as parents. They also create new hashtags to get around the band hashtags or hashtags that are watched by social media sites while hashtag self-harm might be on the radar for the social media sites. Self-harm with back a couple of extra M's at the end might not be. Yes. It is very difficult to draw a definite link between social media and, um, teens that self-harm without enough data, but self harm, hashtags and communities online certainly can try and normalize the behavior. Unfortunately, these are the real things that we have to look out for as parents. But I'd like to give you a few points that you can take home with you today and remember how you can help your child cope when they are overwhelmed and not having a good time. Mentally, number one is make time to connect with your child. One-to-one when it's just you and everybody is relaxed and willing to talk and be open and honest with each other. Number two is keep your team busy, even if it's giving them, um, things to do or taking them out, highlight the things that they like doing, especially when they are in a high pressure schedule at school. Find ways for them to slow down and decrease their commitments at school, by engaging in things that they enjoy. And, um, they can forget about their pressures. Number three is encourage your team to connect with positive and supportive friends. And not go to social media where there is often things that they actually don't need to hear and not the right support and before is try and practice relaxing activities together. Go for a walk, um, journal. Um, Do drawing use a mindfulness app and, you know, give them the things that they need to do this. Get them a nice journal with some nice colorful pens. For instance, number five. Is exercise. They need to get outdoors and exercise, especially now with lockdown, where the children have been cooped up at home and not being able to socialize with your friends, try and encourage them to at least go for a walk every day and take part in exercise as much as they can. Number six, your team creates a list of people to call or text when they feel overwhelmed, explain to them that this is their emergency contact list. When they feel down. It could be a sibling. It could be a grandparent. It could even be a teacher or one of their friends that are inclined to actually lift them up because sometimes teens are unaware of toxic friendships that actually bring them down, encourage them to evaluate those friendships and actually write the names down of the people that are uplifting. Number seven is acknowledge your teens pain and validate your teens. Emotions just is so important. We all know what it feels dark when we don't. And sometimes you just want someone that is going to validate how you feeling and not try and make you feel even worse. By telling you that you shouldn't feel like that it's by allowing them to feel these emotions and by just being a support system and therefore them showing them unconditional love and support number eight. It's be patient. It will take time to break these negative cycles. And I know sometimes one does lose patients and you want things to happen immediately. We all want our children to be safe and we feel frustrated when they are engaging in behaviors that. Or unhelpful to them and you worry about their future and their success of their future, but just show patience and understanding and tell them that no matter how long it takes, you will be there for them every step of the way. And then the last one. Is reach out to the school counselor to assist them at school or the class tutor and make them aware that your child is battling at the moment so that they are more understanding and can keep an eye out for your child while they are not at home. With early identification and professional support and supportive home and school environments, teenagers can learn to use positive strategies to cope with very complex, negative emotions and work through their triggers. And as parents remember, we are all doing the best we can and sometimes. Well, you have to remember that we aren't perfect either and that we all make mistakes. Our children make mistakes. We make mistakes, but our mistakes do not define who we are and they are not who we are. As people be kind to yourself, have self compassion with yourself and with your team. And this brings up us too. Oh, meditation part, which is of course my favorite part of the podcast, because I know that I can help. So many of you that are listening, relax, find calmness and peace. So remember, you can't do this while you're driving. So if you are press pause, if you're not, then I'm sure you've already got your blankets. You've struggled up. Very cozy in your chair, on your bed and you ready to enjoy this hypnotherapy relaxation session. COVID number from one to 10 of how stressed you are right now. And remember that number in your head. Before you start and then go ahead and close your eyes. Take a nice deep letting go breath already. Beginning to relax both body and mind. Relax the top of your head. Relax your forehead, smoothing out any creases, relax the tiny muscles in your eyes. Extra Cho. Pitting at hanger and Slack. And as you create that space in your jaw, you send a message to the rest of your body that it's safe for it to relax, relax your shoulders. Relax, your arms all the way through to your fingertips. Relax your torso. Breathing easily. Really releasing your stomach. Relax your legs. All the way down through to the bottoms of your feet, begin to imagine the color, your favorite color, the one you love forming above your head and say that color out loud, imagining that color flowing into the top of your head at the same time, all the way through your body and out through the bottoms of your feet. Down into the sane, Sophia color, relaxing you cleansing you and releasing you color, taking you all the way down, deep, down, and relaxed. Repeating your mind off to me. I'm safe. I'm calm. And I choose to be here. And say the cut of your love as it flows in through the top of your head and all the way through your body, out through the bottoms of your feet and down, down into the center of the earth, double your relaxation with each decreasing number you hear now. And repeat after me 10, I'm going deeper. Nine I'm going deeper. I'm coming deeper and deeper seven. I'm going deep, six deep, deep, four deep. Maybe I'm going deep to ongoing deeper. And one now I'll say that color you love. And imagine it again, find through your head all the way through your body, cleansing you out through the bottoms of your feet, down into the center of the earth. And when I count down from three to one and snap my fingers, whatever it is, that's, what's causing you stress. And a feeling of being stuck will appear. Maybe it's a limiting belief. Maybe it shows up as a wrong, whatever it is in that way. You just imagine it in your head. And when I count down from three, whatever it is is going to appear three. Going deeper, two, trusting it to come to you. And why just notice what it is, notice what it was what's causing you to feel stressed and stuck. Just notice it, notice the frustration that was created as a direct result of the block with the stuckness or the stress. And take a deep breath. And in this moment, when you notice your frustration, Allow yourself to become relaxed, unless you're focused on your deep relaxation, where you feel completely relaxed throughout your whole body. I would like you to think of what it is that's making you feel stuck. What's making you feel stressed. And frustrated. And I would like you to imagine putting it in a glass jar with a very tight lid, COEs, the lid rate, he tight. And as I count from three to one, you will make sure that that lead is fairly tightly closed. Three. Tight to very tight and one, and the lead is very tightly shot. And then in your front of you is a very calm stream of Okta. And you notice that the water is very bright affecting the sunlight flowing very firmly, but calmly away. And you walk toward the river with your jar and Jude and open the led. And you let your stress and anxiety and frustrations flow into the revise. You let it release itself and you notice yourself flowing. You notice a shift within yourself as you take a deep breath in and out, releasing all the stress into the water as it flows away. And I want you to repeat after me. I'm free to do what I want, how I want when I want everything works out. Exquisitely, everything works out better than planned. Everything arrives at perfect timing, everything. Always works out for me. My life is like a river constantly in motion. Feel the transformation within you, as you feel the movement, feel things begin to flow, feel how you become unstuck and as the transformation takes place. You feel a deep within you and you just let it all flow around you in you episode, being the peace, soaking up the peace and repeat after me now. I trust all is well welcome. Gifts are welcome. Mary Coles. I welcome. Peace, welcome happiness. And I trust that everything is working in my favor. Now imagine a damn wall bursting in front of you and the water flowing forward in a huge, big rush. So much water, so much energy, so much. Opportunity. So much positivity and freedom and happiness feeding lights. And of course you're feeling peaceful at the same time. Notice yourself with the big smile on your lips. As you feel this deep release of energy within you, he can start coming back now, moving your feet. Moving your hips, moving your arms and your fingers. Feel the energy returning into your body. Five, coming back to the space and time six, even more seven. Even more energy coming into you, eight feeling great and nine and 10 stretch your arms out. And now go ahead. I think about the starting number that you had and think about your finishing number, where are your stress levels? Now notice how you are super calm and relaxed. Done being stressed and stuff. And remember it's important to stay calm, stay focused, and stay relaxed and not get overwhelmed by thoughts. And emotions that control your life. You have the ability to control how you react to different thoughts and different emotions. Take a deep breath and just enjoy this peaceful moment. I should just lie or sit calmly with yourself, feeling completely unstuck. I hope you enjoy that. Have a lovely week and don't forget to follow me on social media, Tracy. Kimberg. Therapist. And of course I would love to hear some reviews on how you find the meditation, how your stress levels come down when you do these meditations, and please share them and let more people enjoy the benefits of these meditations and put costs.

Pop culture writer/filmmaker Steven Blush ("American Hardcore") joins the festivities this week to (at long last) help us delve into the enigmatic story of the original 1970s-era incarnation of World Team Tennis - including an exclusive preview of his upcoming book & documentary Bustin' Balls: World Team Tennis - Pro Sports, Pop Culture and Progressive Politics.   From the "Bustin' Balls" book dust jacket:   "Tennis. Exquisitely tailored white outfits. Formally attired spectators.  Stiff upper lips and utterly antiquated attitudes that made the sport accessible only to wealthy WASPs.   "'Tennis is the perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquility,' said legendary rule-breaker Billie Jean King in 1973.   "By 1974, Ms. King and a group of investors made up of fans, promoters, and at least one used-car salesman crashed the country clubs and well-manicured courts with the creation of World Team Tennis - and eliminated proper etiquette in tennis forever.   "Tennis stars from the far reaches of the world came to Cleveland, Philadelphia and Los Angeles, and showed a new breed of fans that the emotional passion and physical violence on the court were as entertaining as any Sunday afternoon football.  Between cursing out judges, encouraging personal grudges, and the "anything goes" milieu of the 70s, World Team Tennis busted through all race, sex and gender barriers.   "Bustin' Balls is the entirely true story of the most controversial, influential and fantastic sports league you never heard of."

G., Poulet, J. F., Millan, J., Lewin, G. R. Abstract: Fingertip mechanoreceptors comprise sensory neuron endings together with specialized skin cells that form the end-organ. Exquisitely sensitive vibration-sensing neurons are associated with Meissner's corpuscles and Pacinian corpuscles. Such end-organ structures have been recognized for more than 160 years, but their exact functions have remained a matter of speculation. Here we examined the role of USH2A in touch sensation in humans and mice. The USH2A gene encodes a transmembrane protein with a very large extracellular domain. Pathogenic USH2A mutations cause Usher syndrome associated with hearing loss and visual impairment2. We show that patients with biallelic pathogenic USH2A mutations also have profound impairments in vibrotactile touch perception. Similarly, mice lacking the USH2A protein showed severe deficits in a forepaw vibrotactile discrimination task. Forepaw rapidly-adapting mechanoreceptors (RAMs) recorded from Ush2a-/- mice innervating Meissner's corpuscles showed profound reductions in their vibration sensitivity. However, the USH2A protein was not expressed in sensory neurons, but was found in specialized terminal Schwann cells in Meissner's corpuscles. Loss of this large extracellular tether-like protein in corpuscular end-organs innervated by RAMs was sufficient to reduce the vibration sensitivity of mechanoreceptors. Thus, USH2A expressed in corpuscular end-organs associated with vibration sensing is required to properly perceive vibration. We propose that cells within the corpuscle present a tether-like protein that may link to mechanosensitive channels in sensory endings to facilitate small amplitude vibration detection essential for the perception of fine textured surfaces.

On this edition of Parallax Views, we take a break from the ruckus of currents events to take trip, an excursion if you will, down to Camp Crystal Lake. Yes, Camp Crystal Lake, otherwise known to locals as "Camp Blood"... the stomping grounds of the pop culture icon Jason Voorhees. Since the 1980s, hockey mask wearing, machete-wielding murder machine Jason Voorhees has hacked and slashed his way through enough camp counsellors to attain the status of movie monster royalty in the world of horror movies. The Camp Crystal Lake killer has even managed to spawn comic books, a video game, and, believe it or not, a board game. Unfortunately for his fans, Jason hasn't been seen on the big screen since his last cinematic appearance, 2009's Friday the 13th reboot. That's where our guest on this edition of Parallax Views, Vincente DiSanti of Womp Stomp Films, comes into the picture. An independent filmmaker, Vincente decided that he'd make his own Friday the 13th fan film in lieu of the official cannon being caught up in legal entanglements. And thus he, with the help of a small but faithful cast and crew, made Never Hike Alone. Now you may be thinkin to yourself, "A fan film? Isn't that amateur hour?" Well, in the case of Never Hike Alone the answer is a resounding, "No." Exquisitely paced at a lean, mean 54 minute running time, Never Hike Alone is professionally produced, looks great, and arguably blows a number of the official Friday the 13th sequels out of the water. And fans seem to agree as the movie has played multiple film festivals and is now getting a web-series follow-up starting with the prequel Never Hike in the Snow. Vincente joins us to discuss how the project came together, his experiences on set, independent filmmaking during the coronavirus pandemic, and much, much more on this fascinating edition of Parallax Views that digs into the trials and tribulations of independent filmmaking.

Exquisitely shot and bold in its metastorytelling approach, director Iryna Tsilyk's documentary follows single mother Anna and her four children as they document their lives under siege in Ukraine.Eldest daughter Mira dreams of becoming a cinematographer. As bombs descend on neighboring homes, the family construct, act in, and edit stylized scenes of dangerous predicaments they've lived to tell. Mira's re-creations ratchet up the drama, using local soldiers, tanks, and even her own grandmother to tell terrifying tales of survival. Meanwhile, Iryna quietly captures their more quotidian moments during their shoots and in between takes—scenes that include Mira's siblings squabbling over line readings, cozy dinners by the fire, and Anna's compassionate gaze as she watches Mira apply to film school.Eventually, the two projects fuse into a single vision that gorgeously encapsulates the extremes of war, both its explosive trauma and its mundane peripheral existence in everyday life. With miraculous insight, The Earth Is Blue as an Orange observes a family—and a filmmaker—cope with war using their cameras, working in tandem to create meaning out of a meaningless conflict.

David Lynch and Mark Frost's Twin Peaks marks a high point in television history. The merging of Lynch's experimental film background with the more conventional TV landscape created a mesmerizing series that continues to defy any attempt at a simple interpretation. Azed & Jay and returning guest Omar Majeed welcome special guest philosopher/author Tamler Sommers from the popular podcast Very Bad Wizards to take a deep dive into the world of Twin Peaks. Note: no mention of poop or vomit in this episode. Apologies.

Summer kicks off with a bang this week on BEHIND THE LENS as we take a look at three winning films and speak with their gifted filmmakers who are not only good storytellers, but really good guys. And here's a bonus for you – all three films open in theatres this week on June 7! First up, take a listen to our exclusive interview with RON HOWARD talking about his new documentary, PAVAROTTI! The film is, in a word, Bellisimo! Exquisitely told and emotionally beauteous, the detail and depth with which Ron Howard tells the story of the man behind the voice is not only told with an objective eye, but a caring one. By film's end, one feels as if they know "Luciano", that they sat at the table and ate pasta with him, shared laughs. Listen as Ron talks about the research and assimilation of archival materials and the technical challenges presented with the use of old footage and recordings, gathering interviews, finding a throughline and working with his editor Paul Crowder, opting for sound mix in Dolby Atmos and the genius of sound recording mixer Chris Jenkins, not to mention selecting very specific arias for which Pavarotti is best known and then using them to highlight moments of Pavarotti's live versus the chronology of performance. Then writer/director MICHAEL MELSKI joins us live talking about his new film, THE CHILD REMAINS. Based on the true story of the "Butterbox Babies" and the surrounding legend that has permeated not only Canadian folklore, but Scottish and Irish as well, Michael crafts a chilling tale steeped in ambient cinematographic excellence. Rounding out the show, Australian actor ANDREW STEEL is with us live talking about his first North American feature, WISH MAN. You'll quickly hear why Andrew is just one more reason why we love Australia. Classically theatre trained and with a successful career in Australia primarily on stage with the Australian Shakespeare Company and in television, Andrew makes the leap to the United States with the story of Frank Shankwitz, the man who founded the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Handpicked by Shankwitz to be the man to depict him on screen, the stars seem to have perfectly aligned for Andrew who is also known for his own philanthropic endeavors, namely the international film festival Flicks4Change.org and its offshoot, Scripts4Change.org. Listen as Andrew talks about WISH MAN, his serendipitous meeting with Shankwitz and how the role came to him, developing the character through working with writer/director Theo Davies and Shankwitz, nailing a midwestern US accent and learning to ride a motorcycle, working with veteran actors Fay Masterson, Danny Trejo, Frank Whalley, Kirby Bliss Stanton, Carey Scott, Dale Dickey, Bruce Davison and, in the coolest cameos possible, Robert Pine and Larry Wilcox, and more. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

Desirelessness, Satsang as an experiential Reality, acknowledging and dismantling beliefs, tension as a clue to switch to Observer mode and then stepping back further to rest in Source, loving yourself exquisitely and laughing at desires, thoughts hurt the body by producing negative feelings, being OK with however life is unfolding while taking responsible for one's happiness

Exquisitely Essential-Women - Genesis 38 - January 27, 2019 - Dan Thompson by Mercy Commons Covenant Church

Sometimes we’re faced with challenges, which we’re not quite sure how to respond to. In most cases, such instances would lead to tremendously impactful results. As individuals, it’s up to us to decide what that exact outcome will be; with direct, intentional actions, otherwise known as execution! Exquisitely performed execution that is. ;)

In Anna Quinn’s debut novel, Nora Brown teaches high school English and lives a quiet life in Seattle with her husband and six-year-old daughter. But one November day, moments after dismissing her class, a girl’s face appears above the students’ desks–“a wild numinous face with startling blue eyes, a face floating on top of shapeless drapes of purples and blues where arms and legs should have been. Terror rushes through Nora’s body–the kind of raw terror you feel when there’s no way out, when every cell in your body, your entire body, is on fire–when you think you might die. “Twenty-four hours later, while on Thanksgiving vacation, the face appears again. Shaken and unsteady, Nora meets with neurologists and eventually, a psychiatrist. As the story progresses, a terrible secret is discovered–a secret that pushes Nora toward an even deeper psychological breakdown. This breathtaking debut novel examines the impact of traumatic childhood experiences and the fragile line between past and present. Exquisitely nuanced and profoundly intimate, The Night Child is a story of resilience, hope, and the capacity of the mind, body, and spirit to save itself despite all odds.

[School of Movies 2018] To close out our triumphant Guillermo del Toro season we give you our deep exploration of the 2007 ghost story he produced, directed by Juan Antonio Bayona; The Orphanage.

In this talk, Sophie Duncan examines suffragists' interactions with Shakespeare and his works, as performers, directors, consumers and critics. Suffragist readings of Shakespeare variously cite Shakespeare's feminism as a source of authority, justifying their right to vote, and attack Shakespeare's patriarchal impulses in a manner that anticipates second-wave feminist, cultural materialist readings of the plays by half a century.

An interview with Sad Fish director Le-Van Kiet, by Subversity show host Daniel C. Tsang. Sad Fish stars established actress Kieu Chinh (Joy Luck Club, Journey from the Fall) , newcomer Orchid Lam Quynh (a UCI aluma), Long Nguyen (Journey from the Fall) and Jayvee Hiep Mai (Journey from the Fall). Exquisitely filmed, Sad Fish, a drama tinged with comedy, tells drenching stories of unconventional lives from Little Saigon, California, portrayals of nostalgia for homeland but also of daily routines of longings, relationships and domestic turmoil that transgress conventional boundaries. The film also depicts male intimacy and tension between "Happy Together"-type characters played by actors Jayvee and Long. Interview copyright c 2009
