An inexperienced crew of administrators aspiring to be field operators are assigned to a distant star system, where they encounter a sentient nebula. Genre: Science Fiction   Excerpt: The newly appointed Captain Dorus gazed at his new crew, each one interviewed and hand-picked by him. The not-so-hotshot pilot, Orson, who retired early after she was nearly killed flying into a star during a practice maneuver. The experienced engineer, Rekha, whose tendency to tinker a little too much got her booted off the first four ships she was assigned to. A doctor, Shade, who had no specialty because she kept getting distracted by new discoveries. And the actor, Kellu, whose purpose there no one—including himself—quite understood.   What's the Writing Prompt that inspired the story?No prompt.  This idea came to me this morning, inspired by a binge-watch session of a show I once enjoyed (“Legends of Tomorrow,” Season 3).  I've always loved the idea of a ragtag crew onboard a spaceship having adventures and doing stuff together and…stuff.   MY FIRST BOOK IS OUT!Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written?  I have a method. And I talk all about it in my book called Fictioneer's Field Guide: A Game Plan for Writing Short Stories. It's now available as an eBook, paperback, and hardcover.

Be advised: This episode contains some intense music and sound effects.  A group of friends venture into an abandoned tunnel against the warnings of one of them, who senses there is something in the tunnel that won't let them get to the other side. Genre: Horror   Excerpt: Bradley rubbed his hands together and looked at Amora. “It's show time.” Phoebe walked over to Amora, whose dark-eyed gaze was still staring ahead at the tunnel. “Take your time,” Phoebe said. She wanted to tell Bradley to stop staring, but she figured it would only make Amora feel more self-conscious. “So?” Bradley said. “Is there anything in there?”   What's the Writing Prompt that inspired the story?No prompt. Okay, so what if a group of friends find a haunted tunnel?    MY BOOK IS HERE!Ever wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written?  I have a method.

At middle, view down a dark stony tunnel. Foreground, two people from behind and shoulders up. Person at left, seen in silhouette, holds one arm outstretched. Person at right, mostly in darkness, holds up a flashlight, shining it down the center of the tunnel. The light illuminates a man some distance away, lying on his stomach, propping himself up with both palms on the ground. The man looks forward, his brows raised. Visible in the light, on either side of him are thick legs ending in feet with curved claws. The legs belong to a massive bear-like creature standing over him. The creature's clawed hands are visible in the light. The rest of the creature is hidden in shadow. A border is added at top and bottom to make the rectangular image square. The border contains patterns that match the stony texture and circle shape of the tunnel. Top border contains two hazy red points aligned next to each other. At middle left, watermark of “Storyfeather.”

While attention is justifiably focused on the present horrors in Gaza and the imminent possibility that it could spark another war in the middle east, the world's power structures are once again dividing themselves up into two increasingly intimate alliance groups with an increasingly hostile and militaristic posture toward each other.

An expert in the field of neurological mapping is the only person qualified to enter an experimental simulation and rescue her greatest rival. Genre: Science Fiction   Excerpt: “It could be psychological. Maybe his subconscious put something in there, or built a section of the maze on its own, and he's having a tough time getting out.” “And what else?” The tech frowned at me as if I already had the answer and was purposely keeping it from her so she could figure it out on her own. But I was just trying to gauge what their box was, and how far outside they had gone to figure out what was happening to their boss.   What's the Writing Prompt that inspired the story?(Doesn't appear to be inspired by a prompt) I probably asked myself a question to start off the brainstorm: What if a researcher and expert in the field of virtual neurological interfaces gets trapped in his own simulation, and the only person qualified to get him out is his bitterest rival?    Faster FictioneerEver wonder how I've gotten all these hundreds of stories written?  I have a method.  You can learn more about it right here: FASTER FICTIONEER   I've Got Issues For YouThe Storyfeather Gazette is a monthly round-up of my recent podcast episodes, short stories, trailers, news, recommendations, and more that I send by email.

The only way a Christian can observe all Christ has commanded is to learn how to resist the world.  That includes those things of the world that so subtly influence our behavior that we don't even notice them.  James Spencer's book Christian Resistance – Learning to Defy the World and Follow Christ will help you ponder those areas where Christ is in the background of your life so you can intentionally return Him to the foreground.  The author talks with Tom Moller about the book, which is featured in the “94.7 FM The Word Book Club.”  In addition to this edited audio version, the full unedited video version of the interview can be seen by going to http://www.947fmTheWord.com and clicking the “94-7 FM The Word Book Club” icon on the homepage; you will have an opportunity to purchase the book at the end of the interview if you wish.    James Spencer is the president of the D.L.

Caro Giles is a writer based in the north east of England, whose first book Twelve Moons tells the story, across a year, of raising her 4 daughters alone in a wild and isolated part of the country. It's an incredible memoir about caring, isolation, and joy found in tiny pockets of time.

So this is not a podcast where you can multitask while you listen. I'm not trying to give you new information or things to consider like other podcasts. I love those kinds of podcasts. But in this podcast I'm wanting to give you an experience. I want you to learn to reintegrate your body with your mind's awareness so that you can notice the “red flag” when you feel tension or anxiety in your body. It's a red flag that you're experiencing a vertical disconnect with God. And I want you to experience what a vertical connection feels like through envisioning the unseen reality of God's presence in this moment and his presence in your body by his Holy Spirit.

A cast and crew of middle school students put on an original play about cosmic heroes and deadly aliens. Genre: Fantasy, Science Fiction   Excerpt: “I am Exoplanetary Janet, Traveler of the Cosmos.” She raised her arm and swept her hand slowly from left to right. There was whispering at the back of the class. Two girls, so thick-as-thieves that they were more like one two-headed girl, glanced at Janet, then resumed whispering. One of them, Rhine, raised her hand. “Then why are you dressed like a cowgirl, Miss Winsome?” she asked. “Why not?”   Storyfeather-themed merchandiseNew Creature designs for October 2022!T-shirts, mugs, stickers, notebooks, and more.

After closing his latest case, a private investigator who specializes in finding missing persons starts experiencing strange changes. Genre: Horror, Mystery Excerpt: “Can you put that out?” I asked through clenched teeth. I was still hunched over the desk, but I could smell it. Her cigarette. It felt as if every particle of ash was boring its way up into my nose, past my eyes, into my skull. When she dimmed the lights, I'd been mostly suspicious and partly curious about what she had in mind. But now I was just thankful. Because it felt as if every pinpoint of light was focusing through the lenses of my eyes and drilling through my brain.   The Storyfeather site was recently renovated.

Andy often gets asked questions from students about the foreground. How much information should be put in or how much detail should be included? Here he lays out some guiding principles for artists to consider. About the Artist: Andy Evansen's interest in art started in childhood, as he can't recall a time when he wasn't drawing. He began painting watercolors in the mid 1990s as a change of pace from his career as a medical illustrator. Choosing a ‘style' was not difficult, as Andy was always inspired by the watercolor paintings of British artists Trevor Chamberlain, David Curtis, Ed Seago and Edward Wesson, among others. He found himself attempting to capture the landscape with the same economy of brushstroke, taking advantage of the luminosity of watercolors done in just a few washes. In addition, he was impressed with the way those artists seemed to capture everyday scenes in such a way that revealed a hidden beauty, subjects that many would simply pass by.

The smallest bird in the world embarks on a quest to recover a lost gift left to him by his mother…his true name. Genre: Fable, Mystery, Mythology, Science Fiction   Excerpt: The thunderbird. The trickster raven. The creator heron known as Benu. He was in awe of them all. And he wanted to learn to acquire their qualities. Cleverness, strength, knowledge. And wings so magnificent that all creatures great and small were gripped with awe at their sight. But whenever he would voice such longings, he was always ridiculed, for he was so small that all who knew him called him the flea bird, and soon that became his name, “Flea.”   CREDITSStory: “The Flight of Flea” Copyright © 2018 by Nila L.

FOREGROUND - like doves by streams of water, washed in milk, mounted like jewels. And he sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground. But the dove found no place to rest her foot, and she returned to him in the ark, because the waters were still covering the surface of all the earth. So he reached out his hand and brought her back inside the ark. And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark. And behold, the dove returned to him in the evening with a freshly plucked olive leaf in her beak. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth. Genesis 8:8-11 mā·nôaḥ resting place CHAL resting place DBL Hebrew resting place; rest; home; lair; cease movement “Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness?” Job 38:19 יִשְׁכָּן yiš·kān settle, reside; be enthroned verb, Qal, yiqtōl (imperfect), third person, masculine, singular ± active BDB settle down, abide, dwell מָקוֹם mā·qôm location; place, site; space, room, region, locality, residence; sacred site “You ascend on high you have taken many captives out of exile, as bondservants...now voluntary lovers…You receive tribute from men, including even sinful rebels.

May the Lord make the woman who is entering your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built up the house of Israel! ...and may you become famous in Bethlehem. Ruth 4:11 Heb “and call a name.” This statement appears to be elliptical. Usually the person named and the name itself follow this expression. Perhaps וּקְרָא־שֵׁם (uqeraʾ shem) should be emended to וְיִקָּרֵא־שֵׁם(veyiqqareʾ shem), “and your name will be called out,” that is, “perpetuated” (see Gen 48:16, cf. also Ruth 4:14b). The omission of the suffix with “name” could be explained as virtual haplography (note the letter ב (bet), which is similar to כ (kaf), at the beginning of the next word). The same explanation could account for the omission of the prefixed י (yod) on the verb “call,” as י (yod) and ו (vav) are similar in appearance. Whether one reads the imperative (the form in the MT) or the jussive (the emended form), the construction indicates purpose or result following the earlier jussive “may he make.” “The village women said to Naomi, “May the Lord be praised because he has not left you without a guardian today!

A young woman wonders if the strange “behavior” of her new high-tech jacket is due to her roommate's tampering or to an ever-escalating malfunction. Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction   Excerpt: I'm old enough to remember a time when nanotech was not embedded in every piece of clothing we own, which is a weird thing to say because that was only about fifteen years ago.

In this episode, guest interviewer Anne Helmreich (The Getty Foundation) speaks with Koenraad Brosens, professor of art history at the University of Leuven in Belgium, and Blake Stimson, professor of art history at the University of Illinois Chicago, about the future of universities in a digital age. They discuss the benefits and challenges of teaching at public institutions, the concept of “the third generation university,” and potential pitfalls to the vogue for interdisciplinarity. Reflecting particularly on the past two years of the pandemic, Koenraad and Blake share how they are navigating the newly digital and remote world of teaching and mentoring, and muse about the possibilities of the new trend towards building virtual education infrastructure rather than investing principally in physical campuses. This fourth season of In the Foreground is a special series of five roundtable conversations dedicated to “the Grand Challenges” – a phrase frequently adopted in the sciences to refer to the great unanswered questions that represent promising frontiers – of bringing together digital and computational methods and the social history of art. This series grows out of a colloquium on this topic convened by Anne Helmreich (Associate Director of the Getty Foundation) and Paul B. Jaskot (Professor of Art History at Duke University) at the Clark's Research and Academic Program in April 2019. Anne and Paul serve as the guest interviewers for this podcast series, for which they have invited back colloquium participants to reflect further on how digital art history might help us explore social history of art's future, and which digital methods might be effective at analyzing large scale structural issues and modes of visual expression.

A woman caught in the middle of an ecological attack becomes a subject of interest for the group who is responsible. Genre: Science Fiction   Excerpt: Chloe glanced again at the handsome man who was lingering at a sculpture. The sculpture was a caryatid, a column shaped like a woman, in this case, a celestial being. He gazed up at the stone carving of the heavily robed Herald of the Gods. The Herald too seemed to gaze down at him. She pointed up to the heavens with a hand that held a scroll, the scroll upon which was written the spell that brought the world into being.   CREDITSStory: “Neotrillium” Copyright © 2018 by Nila L.

Her right arm is raised straight up. Her right hand holds a scroll, and her index finger is pointing up. A large sphere is set on top of the column.

In this episode, guest interviewer Paul B. Jaskot (Duke University) speaks with Jacqueline Francis, a scholar of contemporary art and chair of the Graduate Visual and Critical Studies Program at the California College of the Arts, and Susan Elizabeth Gagliardi, a specialist of the arts of Africa and associate professor of art history at Emory University, on the topic of collaboration and interdisciplinary in art history and digital humanities. They articulate a shared experience of “falling into” collaborative, digital practices out of necessity, led by the kinds of questions they wanted to answer. Throughout the discussion, all three speakers return to the idea of shifting away from paradigms of hierarchy and authority, whether through partnering with students and colleagues outside the academy, rethinking what is recognized as “scholarly” within the humanities and academic publishing, making visible the intellectual exchanges and collaborative labor that makes research projects, artworks, and museum exhibitions possible, and how these attitudes might fundamentally change how we approach the canon of art history. This fourth season of In the Foreground is a special series of five roundtable conversations dedicated to “the Grand Challenges” – a phrase frequently adopted in the sciences to refer to the great unanswered questions that represent promising frontiers – of bringing together digital and computational methods and the social history of art.

In this episode, guest interviewer Anne Helmreich (Getty Foundation) speaks with Niall Atkinson, associate professor of art history at the University of Chicago, and Min Kyung Lee, assistant professor of Growth and Structure of Cities at Bryn Mawr College, to reflect on the canon of art history. They discuss how the canon as a narrative offers a shared framework for discussion, analysis, and exchange, but problems arise when the canon becomes fixed or an imposition. Niall and Min describe how they approach using archives in more varied ways, to capture “different voices,” and they revel in the collaborative nature of computational practices, the scale of which – both zooming out and zooming in – demands that scholars work across disciplines and as a team. Finally, both  emphasize the importance of being aware of how we define the data we use, and how we in fact produce the data we use – a reflexive approach that may allow us to confront and correct implicit biases, building a more inclusive and heterogeneous approach to data and "the canon.”This fourth season of In the Foreground is a special series of five roundtable conversations dedicated to “the Grand Challenges” – a phrase frequently adopted in the sciences to refer to the great unanswered questions that represent promising frontiers – of bringing together digital and computational methods and the social history of art.

In this episode, we play segments of the live premiere of Reconstruction, a poetic monologue by Sean O'Callaghan, described as "Irish storytelling the ancient epic way, in its own idiom." The audio was recorded live at Pride of Our Footscray Bar on 17 March 2022.Also in the program, a piece by Jeltje and Friends, from their new album of spoken word, In the Foreground.

Paul B. Jaskot (Duke University) speaks with Hubertus Kohle (professor of art history at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich in Germany) and Emily Pugh (an art historian and the Digital Humanities Specialist for The Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles) on the relation between the digital humanities and the potential for art history. They reflect on how we work as scholars in terms of accessing and documenting archives and data, and the difference in scale between transferable computational methods as opposed to project-specific solutions. Both guests discuss how engagement with the digital might grant us distance to see our discipline anew, or reveal biases within the history of art, while also expressing some concern about a plateau in innovation, or a resistance in art history to collaborating with practitioners from adjacent fields who might open new directions within the digital. Throughout, the conversation circles around the question of how computational approaches may equip us to become more critical art historians.

Jaskot and Barbara McCloskey, professor of art history at the University of Pittsburgh and a specialist of twentieth-century German art, on the role of social art history in a digital world. Paul and Barbara consider the simultaneous emergence of both computational methods and social art history in the 1970s and reflect on what drew them personally to both approaches. They discuss the centrality of collaboration and the role played by institutional and disciplinary expectations for how scholarship is produced. Throughout, the conversation turns to questions of scale and sociality, and the speakers ponder the blind spots, limitations, or dangers of the digital as well as the ways in which both social art history and the digital have – and have not – fulfilled their promises.

I have been stepping out more with the camera of late. And, as you might have guessed, I made several visits to the San Diego coastline. Gotta get my fill of sand, surf, and sky! As summer approaches in the Northern hemisphere and the prospect of travel seems more possible than it did a couple of months ago, you might be thinking of a coastal visit in your near future.In today's podcast, I have 5 tips for seascape photography to share with you. Put these into practice on your next visit to the beach and you'll create stronger photographs.Know The Weather And Tides. Weather is important for all landscape photography, and seascapes are no exception. Don't be deterred by “poor” weather, because photo opportunities can be found in all sorts of weather. Also, know your tides! Be safe and don't get cut off from the mainland hidden away in a beautiful cove. Also, some beaches look better at lower tides, and others are more interesting at high tides.Include Foreground. This isn't just about having a foreground subject (which is important, especially at wide angles). Foreground is also about giving your viewer a place to “virtually stand” in the frame. A small patch of sand or a rock outcropping lets your viewer mentally step into the frame and take in the fullness of the scene.Capture Motion And Change Mood. What mood do you want to convey with your photo? The power of the ocean? A relaxed day at the beach? A complete feeling of zen with smoky and smooth water? Choosing a shutter speed to capture the right type of motion will set the mood of your photo. Use fast shutter speeds to capture power. Dial in a moderately slow shutter speed for silky fingers of water. For a feeling of total zen, break out the big ND filters and take multi-minute photos.Photograph The Ebb. Related to the previous tip, after a wave laps up on shore, photograph its retreat. The rush of water returning to sea creates wonderful leading lines that draw your viewer into the scene. A bonus tip - before setting up and taking your images, watch how the ocean behaves and the lines your eye follows. The ocean is giving you hints on how to compose - use them!Get Wet. For a good seascape photo, sometimes you have to get wet. If getting a little wet is the difference between a good seascape and an outstanding seascape, I choose to get wet. It is only water. Of course, be smart and be safe. Don't risk personal health or potential injury for a photograph. In colder climates, having waders or muck boots can keep your feet and calves dry. I'll often pack an extra towel and a pair of dry socks in the car for after the shoot!Listen to the episode for more in-depth thoughts on each of these tips.
