Day 2 of Sinister Creature Con was just as busy as the first. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by the booth, pick up free posters and flyers, and signed up for our bi-annual newsletter.First up is the venerable scream queen Danielle Harris. A veteran of both Halloween franchises Danielle Harris has starred in a dizzying array of popular horror films including Hatchet, Shiver, ChromeSkull, and Night of the Living Dead: Darkest Dawn, to name a few. We touch on a few films including her upcoming flick Last Chance Motel, also starring Scout Taylor-Compton. (interview starts at around 00:00:52)Dave Barclay joins us next. Covered in memorable Yoda photos, Dave's table was a hotbed of activity and for good reason. He helped bring one of the most cherished characters in film to life. His puppeteer work with Yoda is just scratching the surface. Dave chronicled his life's work in his book "My Life With Animatronics. Movies, Puppets and Beyond" now available at https://coolwatersprods.com/ . (interview starts at around 00:14:04) Mitch Eason, writer of Chainsaw Angels, talks about his debut comic book which is proving to be an excellent read. Chainsaw Angels follows a popular trend of using the term zombie to categorize his antagonists while twisting the enemy into his own vision, much the same way Danny Boyle did in 28 Days Later. Zombies, but different.Mitch has more planned for the series, so we suggest jumping into this one now. (interview starts at around 00:24:40) Our final interview of the Con is with Mike Hernandez of Killer Clowns from Outer Space fame. Mike Hernandez has made a career of stunt car driving and speaks on his work in various films. Mike's work as a stuntman is one of the more critical roles a film crew member is tasked with, and like Dave Barclay they bring movies to life. (interview starts at around 00:36:18) .The Grim and Bloody Podcast will be back at Sinister Creature Con (with an even bigger presence!) October 18th and 19th at the Scottish Rite Masonic Center.

In this episode of the Glowing Older podcast, host Nancy Griffin interviews Ashton Applewhite, author of 'This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism.' They discuss Ashton's journey into understanding ageism, the current state of awareness, the importance of policy, and the intersectionality of ageism with other social issues. Ashton introduces her initiative, YODA, aimed at fostering intergenerational connections to combat ageism. About AshtonAn internationally recognized expert on ageism, Ashton Applewhite is the author of This Chair Rocks: A Manifesto Against Ageism and a co-founder of the Old School Hub. She speaks widely at venues that have included the United Nations and the TED mainstage, and is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and make age a criterion for diversity. In 2022 the United Nations named Ashton one of the Healthy Aging 50: fifty leaders transforming the world to be a better place to grow older.Key TakeawaysOldSchool.info is an anti-ageism clearinghouse—a central repository of tools and resources for the emerging movement against ageism.Ageism is a pervasive issue that affects all aspects of life. We are all biased, but we can control our attitudes about aging. The first step in any social change is awareness, because most bias is unconscious and we can't challenge something when we don't even know exists. Building intergenerational connections is vital for combating ageism. The YODA initiative (Youngers and Olders Dismantling Ageism) aims to connect younger and older generations as a tool to end ageism.Older people resent younger people for having more social and cultural visibility, and young people resent older people for having more political access and moreeconomic clout. Both are true.Fear divides us and people make money off fear. When people are divided, they tend to not come together to change ways of thinking or the ways institutions work.

Les deux géants d'Hollywood accusent la plateforme d'avoir pillé leurs contenus pour entraîner leur intelligence artificielle générative. Un procès qui pourrait amener la justice américaine à encadrer les pratiques du secteur. Midjourney est un « puits sans fond de plagiat ». Dans leur argumentaire fourni à un tribunal de Los Angeles, Disney et Universal accusent sans détours la plateforme d'intelligence artificielle qui fut l'une des toutes premières à permettre au grand public de générer des images sur demande, d'avoir pillé leurs créations pour entraîner leur IA. Un procès qui promet d'être retentissant. D'abord par la taille des plaignants : à eux Disney, qui possède notamment les licences Star Wars et Marvel, et Comcast, la maison mère d'Universal et de ces milliers de films, de Jurassic Park à Fast and Furious qui ont façonné la pop culture américaine, pèsent plus de 300 milliards de dollars. Les avocats des deux mastodontes n'ont eu aucun mal à trouver des exemples d'images générées par Midjourney représentant Yoda, Shrek, Iron Man, Bart Simpson ou l'un des innombrables personnages sous licence Disney ou Universal. Un des grands patrons de Disney résume la situation : « Nous croyons dans le potentiel de l'IA, mais le piratage reste du piratage même quand il est réalisé par une intelligence artificielle. » « Fair use » ou « piratage » ? En s'attaquant à Midjourney, les studios posent la question du cadre juridique de l'IA. Ses défenseurs parlent de « fair use », « d'usage raisonnable » en français, une exception au droit d'auteur aux États-Unis qui permet de citer une œuvre en utilisant un court extrait dans une vidéo, par exemple. Comme l'administration Trump a refusé de légiférer au niveau fédéral pour « ne pas entraver l'avance technologique des États-Unis », le secteur évolue dans le flou. Les grands patrons du secteur ont d'ailleurs largement soutenu Donald Trump lors de la dernière élection, justement dans l'espoir de continuer à évoluer sans garde-fou susceptible de freiner leur avancée. Avec ce procès, la justice pourrait être amenée à cadrer les choses et à forcer les entreprises du secteur à payer les détenteurs des droits des millions de contenus en ligne que ces entreprises ont utilisés pour entraîner leurs IA. L'IA, déjà une réalité à Hollywood Paradoxalement, les grands studios de cinéma n'ont pas attendu pour se tourner vers les outils d'intelligence artificielle, y voyant une source alléchante d'économie. Il peut être tentant en effet de recourir à ces outils pour générer des effets spéciaux à moindre coût ou changer une ligne de dialogue en post-production, sans avoir à retourner une scène entière. Il a fallu plusieurs grèves des scénaristes et des comédiens pour freiner les ambitions des moguls de Hollywood qui rêvaient à haute voix de se passer de plumes et d'acteurs pour leurs productions. C'est ce qui explique sans doute la relative indulgence des grands studios jusqu'ici. Peut-être ont-ils senti le vent tourner quand il y a quelques mois a circulé sur Internet un court métrage Star Wars d'une dizaine de minutes entièrement réalisé sur IA par un fan, évidemment sans l'autorisation de Disney. Une production d'une qualité médiocre, mais dont certains plans pourraient tromper un public non averti. Ce qui pose la question : combien d'années (ou de mois) avant que n'importe quel internaute un tant soit peu dégourdi ne puisse produire de chez lui sa version d'une œuvre sous licence ? Et les grands studios de cinéma ne sont pas les seuls concernés, la situation terrifie les plus petits artistes dont les œuvres ont été pillées sans vergogne et qui n'ont pas, eux, les moyens de se défendre. L'IA de Google fait chuter les visites sur les sites des médias américains On peut aussi parler de la presse et des médias qui de plus en plus proposent à leurs lecteurs des résumés de leurs articles rédigés par l'IA. Problème : aux États-Unis, Google propose désormais un résumé des différents articles disponibles sur un sujet directement sur sa page d'accueil. Résultat : plus besoin de cliquer et les différents sites d'informations ont vu leur trafic – et les revenus publicitaires qui allaient avec – s'effondrer. Alors que c'est toujours leur contenu et leur travail qui sert de base à l'IA de Google. Bref, le piratage reste du piratage.

Nick Musica was living a normal life along with a pet cat who seemed very normal as well.   At one point, Nick was told he could communicate well with animals and started to experiment with his own cat.   It turned out that once he tuned in, he found that his "normal" cat was a true master who had come to be his teacher.   After that, he found he could communicate with many other animals and now helps many pet owners.   Fittingly, his website is: mycatschooledme.com   Could you have a calling like this that you haven't tuned into yet?   Listen to this wonderful interview with Nick and hear about the new world he found.

Hollywood heavyweights Disney and Universal are suing AI darling Midjourney for allegedly mass-producing bootleg versions of their iconic characters, from Yoda to the Minions, in what they call a billion-dollar AI-powered copyright heist. And Trump claims he's sealed a “great deal” with China restoring trade peace, locking in rare earth mineral access and student visas, while slapping a fixed 55% tariff on Chinese imports that he says is here to stay.Featured Guests: Jeff Smith, CEO and co-founder, 2nd Set AIDOWNLOAD PUBLIC: ⁠Public.com/venture⁠Invest in everything—stocks, options, bonds, crypto.

The Brothers Krynn return to share their fan fiction idea, The Kenobi Timeline. Inspired by the Legends novel, Secrets of the Jedi, the story follows the what-if scenario of Obi-Wan and Obi-Wan's lover, Siri secretly having a child. From there events unfold unexpectedly, especially with lesser-known companions of Anakin and Obi-Wan who are the focus of the narrative. Each of these characters has a fully fleshed-out backstory with motivations that weave into but never contradict the events of the Prequels.

Recorded live at EmpireCon 2019 in Los Angeles, this episode of Conversations with Craig lifts the curtain on the unsung crew who brought the original Star Wars trilogy to life—Jawas, model-makers, second-unit directors, and yes, Yoda's actual right hand. From childhood desert shoots to Harrison Ford with a saw, this panel had it all. Jawa Justice League: Three OG Jawas—Tim Donaldson, Andrea Wickman, and Fraser Diamond—recall what it was really like filming in Death Valley, sweating through robes, carrying disassembled droids, and surviving desert wildlife. Ford v. Falcon: Second-unit director Harley Cokeliss reveals how a frustrated Harrison Ford nearly sawed a hole through the Millennium Falcon during a lighting delay. Puppets and Persistence: Mike Quinn, the man behind Nien Nunb and Yoda's right hand, explains how hanging around the set got him the job—and a footnote in Star Wars history. “Star Wars is kind of like the genie that just keeps granting wishes.” - Mike Quinn Want more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes stories from the people who bring your favorite characters to life?

If you need to hire 1 person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world have the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader Kirk Herbstreit is the voice of college football. A former Centerville High School and Ohio State University Quarterback, Kirk has been the lead Analyst for ESPN's College Gameday since 1996. He calls the biggest games in college football on Saturday nights, and he broadcasts the college National Championship. Beyond college football, Kirk is also the lead analyst for Thursday Night Football on Amazon Prime Video. Kirk has been nominated for 19 Sports Emmy Awards and has won 5 times. This conversation was recorded in front of about 300 people in Centerville, Ohio. Kirk's dog Peter was with us on stage when he wasn't wandering around in the audience. Kirk's emotional moment after Ohio State's national championship was about his authentic connection to Coach Day, his son (who was on the team), and all the players. "I try so hard to be impartial. I try so hard to be just objective and fair. It's almost like the culmination of just a release." Showing authentic emotion and humanity makes leaders more relatable and trustworthy, not weaker. Bob Gregg and Ron Ullery's impact: "They didn't tear your knees out, but they just made sure as a 16, 17, 18-year-old that you knew this ain't about you. It's about us." This foundation created a work ethic that translates across all of life. The most prepared broadcaster in the world - "When I started in 1996 on college game day, unless you were a Big 10 fan, you had no idea who I was. So my idea of trying to build my brand was they're gonna know me from my work ethic." "They're gonna know me from my work ethic. They're gonna know me like, damn, I don't know who that dude is, but he seems to know what he's talking about." "I prepare a hundred percent, and I use 20% for all three shows." Over-preparation creates confidence and the ability to handle any direction conversations might go. When you're not the most naturally gifted, becoming the most prepared person in the room creates a competitive advantage. High School Football Builds Life Skills – "I'm such an advocate for high school football because of my own experience... It's about what these guys are doing... simple old school values, like hard work and perseverance and facing adversity." "I could choose to be embarrassed of who I was on national TV, or choose to have a bit of a chip on my shoulder. And I was kind of a chip on my shoulder guy my whole life." Feeling underestimated can fuel extraordinary preparation and performance when channeled constructively. Deal with Imposter Syndrome when he started broadcasting NFL games for Amazon on Thursday nights: "I didn't even go to an NFL camp, and here I am calling NFL Games as the expert game analyst. And so, and I'm working with freaking Al Michaels." "I don't deserve your respect in my brain until I earn it." College Football's Current Crisis – "The players went from our era. You had no say to now they have all to say... It's like the world is upside down right now when it comes to that aspect of it." "Who fixes it? The NCAA doesn't fix it... No one's worried about the global view of the sport. They're worried about their region... who's in charge? No one's the boss." "They're great players, but they're a dime a dozen. Like you're on a conveyor belt as a player. There's other players coming right behind you." Kirk supports true name, image, likeness marketing but opposes pay-for-play: "I am a fan of, if Jeremiah Smith becomes Jeremiah Smith after he gets there... if he can make money in marketing... But not, a guy is over at Bowling Green... and LSU needs a left guard and they're just like, Hey, how much does it take?" "These coaches are a little bit hesitant on how hard they're gonna be on these guys because they don't wanna believe. Imagine being a coach and you're worried about, is this guy gonna leave if I really do what I want to do with him?" Mental Health Through Faith – "For me, it's my faith... daily devotional prayer and really trying to connect helps me... having very honest conversation with family and friends and opening up." The Value of Chosen Hardship – My perspective: "I think you gotta keep doing that stuff... choose to do really hard things every day to prove to myself that I can keep doing hard things so that when adversity strikes, I'm prepared." Generational Empathy – "This generation, I can't imagine going through what they go through, whether it's Snapchat and middle school... just everybody being in your business and everything online." The Lee Corso Legacy – "He was hot takes before we knew what Hot Takes were... our relationship really changed was off air... he was a really good listener... like Yoda or like Don Corleone." The best mentoring relationships evolve from one-directional learning to mutual care and support. The Lunatic Fringe - "There's 90% of Ohio State fans that whether they win or they lose, they're proud of 'em... every fan base has that 10% that we're all embarrassed of."

"Andor," the latest Star Wars miniseries, is spin off of the film "Rogue One," which is a prequel to the original Stat Wars trilogy.

Teachhoops.com⁠ ⁠WintheSeason.com⁠ In this episode of Coach Unplugged, host Steve Collins discusses building a successful coaching staff with co-host Coach Barker. Steve begins by thanking sponsors Doctor Dish and teachhoops.com, emphasizing their contributions to the basketball community. The main topic revolves around the qualities needed in assistant coaches. Steve outlines three essential roles: the "energizer bunny" who handles administrative tasks, the "Yoda" who has deep basketball knowledge, and the "Nelly" who challenges decisions and avoids being a yes-man. He stresses the importance of assistants providing diverse perspectives and skills to complement the head coach's strengths and weaknesses. Coach Barker adds that new coaches should prioritize assistants with whom they have strong relationships and trust over purely technical knowledge. He also highlights the importance of having a diverse coaching staff, including younger coaches and those who can handle specific tasks like parent communication or film analysis. Barker also mentions the benefit of having someone on staff who is present in the school to handle day-to-day issues and maintain player relationships. They both agree that a well-rounded coaching staff is critical for a program's success, with each member bringing unique strengths. Trust, respect, and the ability to work well together are crucial factors when selecting assistant coaches. The episode concludes with Steve and Barker reflecting on the importance of enjoying the company of one's coaching staff, especially during challenging times. ⁠GameChanger Website⁠ ⁠Dr Dish Website⁠ ⁠CoachingYouthHoops.com⁠ ⁠https://forms.gle/kQ8zyxgfqwUA3ChU7⁠ ⁠Coach Collins Coaching Store⁠ Check out.  [Teachhoops.com](⁠https://teachhoops.com/⁠) 14 day Free Trial Youth Basketball Coaches Podcast Apple link: ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/coaching-youth-hoops/id1619185302⁠ Spotify link: ⁠https://open.spotify.com/show/0g8yYhAfztndxT1FZ4OI3A⁠ ⁠Funnel Down Defense Podcast⁠ ⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/funnel-down-defense/id1593734011⁠ Want More ⁠Funnel Down Defense⁠ ⁠https://coachcollins.podia.com/funnel-down-defense⁠ [Facebook Group .

Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHSnoke is back on his BS, trying to seize military control of the galaxy. While Leia things they have a chance to fight back especially if Luke returns. Who can really say for sure. Poe is like why wait for Luke? Let's get out there! So he goes and tries to launch a counter strike against the First Order. Leia isn't having it and she tells him to disengage. He does not and with the help of some others from the resistance, destroys a First Order dreadnought and gets outta there via hyperspeed. Snoke is not pleased. Meanwhile, Rey hands Luke his lightsaber which he promptly throws it down the mountain. He's like I'm not coming, there's nothing I can do. Did you think I was just going to come back and magically save the day? It's not gonna happen. But Rey doesn't give up.

Leia orders Poe and the otherrs to get back out there and fight them off. Kylo Ren, feeling the pressure from Snoke, is out there leading the attack, piloting his own ship. He is about to blow their ship up when he realizes that his mom is on board and hesitates. But one of the other pilots shoots and causes and expolosion which sends Leia flying into space.

They figure out where the tracking device must be and Finn knows how to get them there. They take the plan to Poe and he says lets go for it. Back on the island, Rey and Kylo Ren begin communicating via the force. This chat is cut short when Luke Skywalker takes her away to give her her first lesson. He attempts to teach her how to feel the force and control it. Rey is able to see visions some small pebbles begins to float. She did it! However, she soon sees a vision of herself being pulled toward a dark pit. Luke yells at her, telling her to resist it. She does not. Suddenly water snaps Rey out of the vision. Luke says she saw the dark side of the Force, and she didn't even try to stop herself. He is very disappointed in her. He has seen this raw power once before and it did not end well. Luke explains that the last time he saw Kylo Ren, Young Ben as we call him around here, he was his student. He took him to train him in the force but Kylo gave in to the dark side and attempted to kill Luke by having a hut collapse on him. She tells Luke that he didn't fail Kylo Ren, Kyle Ren failed him.As Rey and Kylo continue to connect, Kylo tells Rey that Luke saw the power growing in Kylo and had attempted to get rid of him before he got stronger.There's this whole journey that Finn and Rose go on at a casino and these giant cat things. They meet DJ who overhears the two of them needing a code-breaker, and he offers his services. Rey has another conversation with Kylo and he tells her that what Luke told her is not true. He made that hut collapse because he woke up from slumber to see Luke holding a lightsaber over him, getting ready to kill him. They reach their hands out to each other and they touch hands Neil Dimond style. Sweet Caroline. Luke senses this and puts a stop to it. Rey confronts Luke over what Kylo told him. They fight a bit and then he explains that he could sense that there was nothing but darkness within Kylo and He did consider killing him but backed out of it, only for Kylo to see him with the light-saber and assume that he was indeed going to kill him. Rey tells him that she could see that all hope is not lost when she touched Kylo's hand and she's going to go to him. Luke is frustrated and is met by Yoda. He tells Yoda he's going to destroy the Jedi texts and Yoda is like one step ahead of you and does it and he tells Luke to help Rey. Rey arrives on the same ship as Kylo and is immediately taken prisoner. Rey tries to get Kylo to abandon the dark side but he's like it's you that will join the dark side. Kylo brings Rey to Snoke. Holdo, who is in charge while Leia is recovering, starts to set in motion plans to evacuate. Poe believes she is up to something and he attempts to stage a mutiny. Before his plans can go into effect, Leia appears after waking up and she blasts Poe.

He begins to use the force on her to get her to spill the beans on Luke. Finn, Rose, and DJ make it to the First Order's ship. They are captured and DJ immediately comes clean about their plan to save himself.Snoke attempts to get Kylo to kill Rey with his light-saber, but Kylo uses Luke's light-saber to impale Snoke and cut him in half. Rey and Kylo then team up to fight Snoke's soldiers. But don't get it twist - Kylo has not given into the light. He says it's time to let old things die and he invites Rey to join him in dark side. He even brings up how she knwos the truth about her parents - they were junk traders who sold her off, hoping that would cause Rey to give in. But she eventually resists.While that's happening, Holdo sacrifices herself to help the resistance get away. This also allows Finn & Rose to escape right as they're about to be killed. Kylo Ren is like I'M THE CAPTAIN NOW! And he orders gigantic walkers to go to the Resistance HQ. Poe leads Finn, Rose, and a few others to fight back. Rey and Chewie come down with the Falcon to help which really makes Kylo mad. Finn is about to sacrifice himself but Rose crashes her ship into his to stop him. Finn goes to her and asks why she did it. She tells him they always fight for what they love. She kisses small ones and then passes out. It's not looking good. Leia is feeling defeated. Suddenly, Luke arrives. They chat a bit and then he goes to take care of business. Luke goes out to face the First Order by himself. Kylo orders they use every blaster they can on him, which they do. When the smoke clear, Luke is there...unphased by Kylo's blasters. Poe sees this and realizes that Luke is distracting the baddies to allow them to escape. But their escape is blocked by rocks. Luckily, Rey shows up to clear the rocks and get them free. Kylo goes down to face Luke himself. They duel with their light-sabers, and Kylo attempts to strike Luke with a killing blow, only to realize Luke is a hologram... he still on his island babyyyyyy. Luke tells Kylo that he will not be the last Jedi. He vanished and we see him back on the island. HE finally vanishes and becomes one with the force. Rey tells Leia that she can sense that Luke is now gone, and she asks what will become of the Resistance now. Leia tells her they have what they need to rebuild.On Canto Bight, a trio of stable children that previously encountered Finn and Rose are telling each other the story of Luke Skywalker. Their master comes over to scold them to force them back to work. The boy they had found in the stable goes outside and uses the Force to draw a broom to his hand. He looks up at the sky to see the Falcon flying overhead, and, with Rose's Resistance ring on his finger, he raises his broom like a light-saber.
