71:The Metal Maniacs Podcast - Reinventing Yesterday's Reunion and Return to Michigan Metalcore In this electrifying episode, hosts Jay Ingersoll and Modd sit down with Kalamazoo's very own *Reinventing Yesterday*, a powerhouse metalcore band making their much-anticipated return to the scene. After more than a decade away, they're gearing up for their epic *Black Friday 2024* reunion show at Bell's in Kalamazoo, and tickets are already on sale! Jay and Modd dive into the band's roots, exploring the origins of *Reinventing Yesterday* and what brought them back to the stage. Vocalist Luke, drummer Chad, bassist JP, and guitarists Parker and Jason share stories about the band's early days and their defining releases: *Some May Not Make It Out Alive* (2007) and *The Mosh Demographic* (2009). With a gritty, no-holds-barred sound that defined Michigan's metalcore scene in the 2000s, the band is ready to rekindle the energy that made them a fan favorite. **The Reunion** Listeners will get a behind-the-scenes look at how the idea for the reunion came about, and the band reflects on the process of coming back together after years apart. Jay and Modd ask about the excitement, challenges, and emotions that accompany such a long-awaited return, especially in preparation for the massive Black Friday show. **The Gear and Sound** Guitarists Parker and Jason dig into the technical side, revealing how their live setup has evolved over the years. From guitar tunings to amp setups, they share details about what fans can expect when they hit the stage again. Drummer Chad adds insight into the percussive backbone of the band's signature sound, and the tight rhythm section that drives their music. **The Future** Will this reunion be more than a one-off event? Jay and Modd press the band on whether there are plans for new music or additional shows after Black Friday. The band hints at what might come next, keeping fans on edge for more potential *Reinventing Yesterday* action in the future. **Personal Insights** As always, the conversation also delves into personal interests outside of music. The members talk about their hobbies, what they've been listening to lately, and what sparked their love for metal in the first place. It's a candid, personal glimpse into the lives of the musicians beyond the stage. If you're a fan of Michigan metalcore or just discovering *Reinventing Yesterday* for the first time, this episode offers a nostalgic yet forward-looking perspective on the band's journey.

How is artificial intelligence redefining our perception of reality and truth? Can AI be creative? And how is it changing art and innovation? Does AI-generated perfection detach us from reality and genuine human connection?Henry Ajder is an advisor, speaker, and broadcaster working at the frontier of the generative AI and the synthetic media revolution. He advises organizations on the opportunities and challenges these technologies present, including Adobe, Meta, The European Commission, BBC, The Partnership on AI, and The House of Lords. Previously, Henry led Synthetic Futures, the first initiative dedicated to ethical generative AI and metaverse technologies, bringing together over 50 industry-leading organizations. Henry presented the BBC documentary series, The Future Will be Synthesised.“I would like to preserve a real sense of empathy and humility, which comes with understanding that the world is messy, that people are messy, that defects and imperfections exist, that things don't always necessarily kind of go the way you want, even as much as you wish they could. Imperfection is part of life and I guess my concern is that AI-generated content, which smooths and perfects a version of reality to precisely what you want and forces you or makes you feel pressured to represent yourself in this absolutely perfect way, fundamentally gives you no room for error and kind of detaches you from the reality of growth and life and and how people work. Empathize with other people. Everyone has their challenges. Things don't always have to be exactly perfect to how you want them to be or how other people want them to be. And that involves having some humility about yourself as a messy creature, as we all are. I hope that's retained, but I do see this kind of move towards this sort of smoothed and shaped reality that AI is enabling, potentially creating more of a disconnect between that imperfect, messy, but also quite beautiful world. This sort of polished but ultimately plastic version of reality increasingly is becoming the default for some people over the kind of fleshy, messy human side of things.”www.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcast

In addition to text, AI-generated content has the potential to bring history to life and create innovative forms of assessment and engagement for teachers and students. Despite its reliability issues, AI can provide valuable data points in subjects like history and science and also revolutionize content presentation. However, there is an ongoing crisis in higher and secondary education related to cheating, as educators struggle to detect AI-generated content in student submissions. While many in the industry are enthusiastic about the opportunities AI presents, detection tools are currently insufficient to confidently identify AI-generated work as cheating. To address this issue, alternate assessment methods such as Viva style examinations have been suggested. However, implementing such methods would require a significant increase in resources. There are also proposals for randomized defenses of submitted work, similar to a "drug test," to deter students from using AI to complete assignments. The prevalence of AI-generated assignments poses a significant challenge, particularly as educators and students are reluctant to revert to traditional examination methods.

It's now truly global. AI-generated media have really exploded, particularly the last 18 months, but they've been bubbling under the surface for some time in various different use cases. The disinformation and deepfakes in the political sphere really matches some of the fears held five, six years ago, but at the time were more speculative. The fears around how deepfakes could be used in propaganda efforts, in attempts to destabilize democratic processes, to try and influence elections have really kind of reached a fever pitch Up until this year, I've always really said, “Well, look, we've got some fairly narrow examples of deepfakes and AI-generated content being deployed, but it's nowhere near on the scale or the effectiveness required to actually have that kind of massive impact.” This year, it's no longer a question of are deepfakes going to be used, it's now how effective are they actually going to be? I'm worried. I think a lot of the discourse around gen AI and so on is very much you're either an AI zoomer or an AI doomer, right? But for me, I don't think we need to have this kind of mutually exclusive attitude. I think we can kind of look at different use cases. There are really powerful and quite amazing use cases, but those very same baseline technologies can be weaponized if they're not developed responsibly with the appropriate safety measures, guardrails, and understanding from people using and developing them.

Hey, folks! Future Will here. This is a goofy little bonus I'm tossing onto the feed to celebrate the Episode 500 milestone. It's an audiobook I've recorded of the first chapter of Hell Comes To Harkness House, the extremely silly serialized novel I write in the episode descriptions of Everything To Guppy. (Really, go back and look, it starts on Episode 373.) It's dumb and silly and I don't say all the words right, but I figured I'd put it out there for people to enjoy/etc.

At least 1 in 5 people are differently wired, says Debbie Reber, founder of TiLT Parenting. Differently wired kids are neurologically atypical. They perceive the world differently than their peers and express themselves differently as well. These differences can be subtle or glaring, and as a parent or teacher, it can be hard to know how to respond to these quirks. Debbie and her husband noticed their son Asher's differences early on. He was "more intense, more precocious, more challenging" than similarly aged children and was "moving through the world in a different way" than his peers. By elementary school, his differences were creating challenges. Eventually, the family learned that Asher is "twice exceptional;" he's gifted and has some learning challenges, including ADHD and executive functioning and sensory issues. The diagnoses confirmed Debbie's gut instinct: Asher moves through the world differently than most boys his age. But the diagnoses didn't unveil any magic solutions. The family still had to learn how to help Asher thrive. "It's tricky to figure out a path and a plan when your child doesn't fit the box," Debbie says. "It's important to realize that there is no handbook for these kids. It's really about trying to identify your child's areas of weakness, learning what kind of support might help them right now and then taking one step at a time." Identifying and supporting your son's strengths is also essential. After all, differences aren't necessarily a bad thing. "We value disruptors as the innovators, the people creating new products and solving the problems of the world. Disruption is a buzzword!" Debbie says. "Our kids are disruptors because they're non-conformists, they see the world differently, they're going to challenge authority and question everything. Isn't that what we want?" In this episode, Jen, Janet & Debbie discuss: Identifying differently wired children What to do if people dismiss your concerns about your son's behavior The link between lagging skill development and "bad behavior" Respectful transparency (or, how to talk to your son about his challenges) How to find help for your differently wired kid Why you need to challenge your beliefs about what you (and your child) "should" do Homeschooling as an option for differently wired boys Why non-conformity and disruption are good things Links we mentioned (or should have) in this episode: tiltparenting.com -- TiLT Parenting online (includes links to TiLT Parenting Podcast too) TiLT Together FB Group Differently Wired: A Parent's Guide to Raising an Atypical Child with Confidence and Hope, by Debbie Reber Twice Exceptional Boys (w Ramsey Hootman) -- ON BOYS episode ADHD with Ryan Wexelblatt the ADHD Dude -- ON BOYS episode Sensory Processing Disorder w Nancy Peske -- ON BOYS episode Snoop Dogg listening to Let It Go (Video mentioned at 29:02.

Colossians 3:1-17 Introduction: 1. Keep your eyes on the prize: Christ (v1-4)  Past: Died and raised with Christ (v1,3).  Present: Life now hid with Christ (v2-3).  Future: Will be glorified with Christ (v4). 2. Kill the old life (v5-11). 3. Live the new life (v12-17) Conclusion:

## Acquia Certification Program   * First off, what is the Acquia Certification Program? * Who was involved in developing the curriculum? * I took a quick look, and it seems that there are four parts to the test. Are those taken individually? Or all together? (And what are the sections?)     * Will this accurately assess front-end developers? Or Backend/Sitebuilders.     * What about specialists? * How is the exam administered? * Where can people take the test? * There has been talk about certifications in the past. Some have been for it, and some have been opposed. What kind of feedback have you received so far?   ## Future * Will you be updating the program regularly?  Absolutely * Will there be a D7 version and a D8 version?  It will depend on the exam and the need s of the role we are validating * Should other certification programs be developed?   ## Questions from Twitter * [Tanay Sai](http://www.twitter.com/saitanay) Any plans to launch further specialization/levels? Like  for Architects, themers, Drupal PMs etc?  Yest, the Front end and Back end specialist exams are on the current roadmap.   Other are in pre-planning stages. 

Beginners. We are continuing with our series 'The Tour of Homes', highlighting all the everyday details of life at home. You are probably thinking, "When is she going to be finished with the kitchen?" I think this is the last kitchen episode, at least for now. You also are probably thinking, "We have already heard about drawers in the kitchen." Yes, you are right. However, the phrase 'The kitchen drawer', is actually quite famous. It has become an expression in English speaking nations. The reason is this: there is usually a drawer in any kitchen where junk of all sorts is found. The drawer starts out empty, or, at least quite organized, with just a few things in it. But, as time goes on, more and more bits and pieces appear in it. It is almost a mystery how things get there. When I am busy in the kitchen, and I find things that don't belong there, I automatically put them in the kitchen drawer. Small toys that my children leave in the kitchen, receipts from work, coupons, spare keys, all these things can be found in there and more. One of the books that I have that helps people get organized, talks about the kitchen drawer. It says that every now and then, that spot of the kitchen needs to be examined and organized. Most things inside it need to be thrown away, and the things that are left should be put in groups so they are easy to find. In superstores, you can even find 'kitchen drawer organizers'. It's part of the culture now. Grammar notes. Common expressions: bits and pieces, all sorts of/ all kinds of, every now and then. Exs: My handbag is full of bits and pieces. I don't know if any of these things are worth keeping. The bakery had all sorts of miniature tarts! OR The bakery had all kinds of miniature tarts! Every now and then my friend will come and visit, and we will talk about our college days. Advanced. Oh my, when I decided to write about the kitchen drawer, I cringed inside. I knew that I had to take a photo of mine, and I had the feeling that it would be bad. It was worse than I expected. The only reason I have opened it recently, is to chuck in a few more unwanted items. It has certainly been neglected. When I walk around Walmart, a large superstore that is very close to my house, I feel a little guilty when I walk past the shelf of drawer organizers. You know what they look like: rectangular wooden or plastic inserts that have different compartments for all the different sized objects. Maybe one day I will buy one. Some of the things we have in the kitchen drawer are important, or at least, useful, so they are worth keeping in there. It's just difficult to throw things away sometimes. Don't you find that when you do, a few days later, you need what you just threw away? Am I making excuses? Perhaps I could have a goal of spending five minutes a week sorting out the drawer. Let me have a quick look and see what has accumulated: pencils, tape measures, hair bands, bits of shells, a plastic Pez candy container, some screws, some keys, and a variety of coupons and books. Hmm, that's not too bad. I suppose I could put the coupons together in a zip-lock bag. I could also have the stationary and pens, pencils, erasers, and pencil sharpeners in one area for easy access. And then the keys; throw away the ones we don't use, and hang up the important ones somewhere safe. There, that looks much better. The process wasn't as painful as I thought it would be. The kitchen drawer looks much better now. Next time I won't leave it as long. Grammar notes. Vocabulary: to cringe, to chuck/ throw, an insert, a zip-lock bag.  And practice of the future tense. Exs: I cringe when I think of singing in front of the school. Chuck all of the garbage away! I'm tired of seeing it. I need to buy inserts for my shoes to make them more comfortable. I put the kids' sandwiches in zip-lock bags to keep them fresh. Future: Will you be coming to dinner tonight? He won't enjoy the ballet. It's not the sort of thing he likes. We will order pizza tonight, but tomorrow I will make roast beef. The furniture will arrive in three days, so I'm going to get the room ready. We're going to buy the  house and fix it up. Then we will sell it. Isn't he going to call you? // //
