Earn .2 ASHA CEUs for free with code - FBSpecial: speechtherapypd.com/attachmentOften, SLPs do not fully understand their role in a patient's mental health regarding feeding. We are well aware that counseling is in our scope of practice, but even in the direct therapy we provide, we play a significant role in the mental health of a patient and their caregivers. Both communication and feeding are integral parts of the development of attachment within a caregiver-child dyad, and we have a direct role in those activities. Thus, it is our job to gain greater insight into attachment and infant feeding, specifically to understand how we can support mental health outcomes for both caregiver and child. This course will dive into the deep connections of attachment, feeding, and mental health and how we can cater our therapeutic style and sense of self to support a more healthy bond.

Last week, we celebrated THE LAST MEAL WE'LL EVER NEED -- Jesus, the Bread of Life. This week we go back to the beginning, to THE FIRST BITE that changed everything. In Genesis 3, a simple act of eating becomes a doorway to sin, shame, and separation from God. But even in humanity's fall, God's grace was already at work. Join us as we explore the story of the first meal -- and the Savior who came to make things right.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Sunday, August 10, 2025, Pastor Nick Olson preaching.

The Green Bay Packers open the Preseason against the New York Jets at Lambeau Field. The starters are expected to play, although how much remains to be seen. However, from rookie wide receivers Matthew Golden and Savion Williams to the defense's emphasis on punching at the football, there's plenty to watch throughout the Preseason. Marques highlights stuff to watch in the Preseason, including now-cornerback Bo Melton and undrafted defensive tackle Nazir Stackhouse.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Survey. (n.d.). https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2020_Cert_ChangesThis episode will be available for 0.1 ASHA CEU on July 2Correction Note from Dr. Betty: “During the recording I referred to the executive order targeting associations with assets of $500 million or more. I thought ASHA met that criteria but actually ASHA's net assets are around $174 million.”In this episode, Michelle and Erin host an all start line up of colleagues from across the globe to discuss ASHA's Proposed Changes to the “2020 Certification Standards” and the long-term ramifications that these changes could have for our profession. This conversation is timely in that there are only a matter of days, roughly 3 weeks or less, for audiologists and speech-language pathologists (including students) to write in and advocate to ASHA on whether the proposed changes to the 2020 Certification Standards should be accepted… changes that remove key words and language that were hard fought to obtain. Be informed that this conversation does address political rationale behind the changes and offer a plethora of resources for individuals to grow their knowledge regarding the long-term ramifications of these proposed changes… but it ends with resources on how to make your voice heard!

The vampire has long been a way to explore the shadow side of society, and “Sinners,” Ryan Coogler's new blockbuster set in the Jim Crow-era South, is no exception. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss what “Sinners,” which fuses historical realism with monster-movie-style horror, illuminates about America in 2025. They trace the archetype from such nineteenth-century texts as “The Vampyre” and “Dracula” to the “Twilight” moment of the aughts, when Edward Cullen, an ethical bloodsucker committed to abstinence, turned the vampire from a predatory outsider into a Y.A. heartthrob. What do he and his ilk have to say today? “The vampire is the one who can unsettle our notions, and maybe give us new notions,” Cunningham says. “The vampire comes in and asks, ‘But have you considered this?' ” Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Sinners” (2025)“Black Panther” (2018)“The Vampyre,” by John Polidori“In the Blood,” by Joan Acocella (The New Yorker)“Dracula,” by Bram Stoker“Dracula” (1931)“Love at First Bite” (1979)“The Lost Boys” (1987)“True Blood” (2008–14)“Twilight” (2008)“What We Do in the Shadows” (2019–24)New episodes drop every Thursday.

I'm not very tan, vampires and George Hamilton, not all horoscopes are correct, the legendary David Lynch, don't smoke, more Jack Nicholson scenes, Anaheim is not Los Angeles, and to live and die in LA. Stuff mentioned: Nosferatu (2024), It (2017), Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979), The Witch (2015), The Lighthouse (2019), Love at First Bite (1979), Zorro, The Gay Blade (1981), Blue Velvet (1986), Wild at Heart (1990), The Wizard of Oz (1939), Lost Highway (1997), Mulholland Drive (2001), Twin Peaks (1990-1991), Sometimes They Come Back (1991), Stephen King Sometimes They Come Back (1974), Nightmare on Elm Street (1984), and David L. Ulin Sidewalking: Coming to Terms with Los Angeles (2015).

Before we tackle Robert Eggers' Nosferatu (2024), Brandon and I take on Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979). Klaus Kinski stars as Count Dracula, not Count Orlock in this version. Isabelle Adjani stars as Lucy Harker. Kinski played Renfield opposite Christopher Lee's Dracula in Jess Franco's Count Dracula (1970)! 1979 was a big year for Dracula! There were three films featuring Bram Stoker's Vampire Count...Dracula directed by John Badham starring Frank Langella, Love at First Bite directed by Stan Dragoti starring George Hamilton, and Nosferatu the Vampyre! Join us on our Nosferatu journey and let us know your favorite! Plot: Count Dracula moves from Transylvania to Wismar, spreading the Black Plague across the land. Only a woman pure of heart can bring an end to his reign of horror. Taglines: Nosferatu...he who is doomed to wander alone in darkness. Nosferatu...he who is condemned to destroy even those whom he loves. Nosferatu...a tale of seduction in the dark night of the soul. It is fear and fun. It is a scream of horror and a cry of delight. It is Nosferatu, the Vampyre. ...He who is doomed to wander alone in darkness. ...He who is condemned to destroy even those whom he loves.

Nosferatu (1922), Nosferatu the Vampyre (1979) In episode 78, we started our ongoing Twice Told Tales segment, featuring the first two versions of Invasion of the Body Snatchers. In this episode, with the recent release of Robert Eggers long awaited version of Nosferatu, we're going back to the original, one of cinema's first true monsters, in F. W. Murnau's Nosferatu, then following it up with Werner Herzog's Nosferatu the Vampyre. As in our first Twice Told Tales episode, this isn't a comparison as to which one is better, but an opportunity to dig deep into each film, discussing why we think the impact it has made is still felt today, for both versions. We'll point out the differences, the similarities, as well as some other behind-the-scenes on the films and filmmakers as well.  There is a reason the original film, one that was supposed to be completely destroyed, still lives on, almost like the undead title character. There is a reason you'll see a photo from Nosferatu in almost every book on the horror film genre. And some might think for Herzog to dare make his own versoin of this iconic classic was utter nonsense. Until you see the film. Join us on a little journey back over a century into the past, to the very beginning of horror cinema, and an incredible new take on this tale.
