Today's poem is 'Ice Storm' by Robert Hayden. It's read by Jane Davis from The Reader. From 'Collected Poems' by Robert Hayden (Norton, 2013). Permission requested. Production by Chris Lynn. Music by Chris Lynn & Frank Johnson.

Early in life, we are taught to share our material possessions, and to share the spotlight—giving everyone a chance to be seen. However, it is not until we have experienced struggles and challenges that we learn to share our humanity. Music: Susan Peck

Erythropoietin-stimulating agents (ESAs) are associated with significant cardiovascular safety-related concerns, but the emergence of the oral hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl hydroxylase inhibitors (HIF-PHIs) may improve erythropoiesis without the undesirable downstream effects of ESAs. However, HIF-PHIs place in therapy has not yet been fully elucidated. Here, join the interprofessional team of Dr. Ajay Singh, Dr. Jane Davis, and Dr. Calvin Meaney as they explore an incisive review of current CKD-anemia treatment and diagnostic challenges, as well as the evidentiary base for HIF-PHI utilization in CKD-anemia that establishes context for the future of these agents. In conclusion, a practical discussion of real-world patient case scenarios will be presented, to provide learners with context of the multiple comorbidities, complexities, diagnostic challenges, and barriers to appropriate treatment of CKD-anemia.

The Creative Entrepreneur - Building a Business Without Losing Your Vision In this episode, I speak with Jane Davis, a director-producer and owner Of HypeGirl Creative, an Atlanta-based full-service production house that produces video content. We discuss her journey to finding what has become her life's work, the challenges and opportunities involved in the industry for a woman who describes herself as "an army brat of Korean heritage," and what it took to find both the courage and resolve to create a business and keep it operating in the last two years, when the pandemic saw so many businesses discontinue operations. As we've known each other for many years now, we also have a good time remembering the personal and professional battles we've fought and, I'm happy to say, won. Settle in for a good conversation, and some personal wisdom from Jane that even gave me a special moment of clarity.

Thank you for joining us. This is an excerpt from our worship on Sunday, October 17, 2021. Scriptures: Leviticus 19:13-18 (read by Jane Davis) and Luke 10:25-37. Sermon: Loving Our Neighbors by Rev. Ken Onstot.

Today's episode is with Jane Davis, the Director of UX Research and UX Writing at Zoom. She previously led UX Research and Content Design at Zapier, and managed the growth research team at Dropbox. Throughout the episode, Jane tackles the thorniest customer development questions and walks us through the end-to-end research process in incredible detail, covering everything from clarifying your goals and asking the right questions, to selecting participants and synthesizing insights.     We start by going through how she applies her playbook in the early-stage startup context — when you're shipping the first version of your product and don't yet have the resources to invest in a full research team. We also dig into challenges such as deeply understanding the problem you're solving, taking on a competitive or a greenfield market, and figuring out willingness to pay. We also get into best practices for prototyping and iterating, as well as some of the common roadblocks startups face later on, including how to build for multiple users and what to do when people aren't excited about your product or using it frequently. Whether you're talking to potential customers before you start a company, or are looking to get better feedback from your current users, there's tons of insights in here for founders, product-builders, and design folks alike. Here's the book Jane mentioned in the episode: Just Enough Research by Erica Hall. We also recommend checking out Jane's recent article: What's the point of a UX research team?

The Reader dips its toes into the pool of podcasting, aiming to bring you a regular taste of what our Reading Revolution is all about. The Reader brings thousands of people together every week to read aloud from books and poems and talk about the shared experience of reading. Our first episode will give you a taste of Shared Reading as we listen in (thanks to National Prison Radio) to a small group read a short story about a dolls house. Elsewhere, the Founder/Director of The Reader, Jane Davis, tells the deputy literary editor of The Times that he's a very odd man. And Reader staff share their literary earworms – the lines of poems or stories that accompany them as they go about their lives.   The Reader is a registered charity and we rely on the generous support of individuals and organisations to help us change lives through Shared Reading around the UK. Please visit www.thereader.org.uk to donate and find out how you can get involved with our work.

As I say in the introduction to this episode, an article in The Lancet by Jane Davis makes the case that reading literature out loud has potential for healing and wellness. As a part of The Reader Organization, Davis says, "Our hypothesis is that reading literature aloud with others offers something uniquely valuable." She goes on to say, It "...facilitates the creation of a series of powerful interplays: between the written text and the aural experience; between hearing the text from outside and processing it within; between one's own experience and that of the author and characters; between the privacy of personal consciousness and the public experience of group...For by reading aloud in a group it may be that readers experience what we might call interpersonality both with the book, and its author and characters, and with other group members...To see oneself in others, to see others in oneself, this is the rich experience going on within the group and with the book ('Enjoying and Enduring: groups read aloud for wellbeing,' by Jane Davis, The Lancet Vol. 373, Issue 9665, February 28, 2009, pp. 714-715.). Jewish and Christian scripture have always ranked among the worlds greatest literature, and both Jews and Christians have known since the time each community was started that the reading aloud of their scripture was something important and profound in multiple ways, not the least of which was for healing and wellbeing. What I love about the art of Biblical Storytelling is that, as my guest, Dr. Kathy Culmer says, the telling of scripture adds something more that simply the reading of scripture. It enables, as The Lancet article claims, an interplay and interpersonality for people in which they identify with the characters, the story, and others listening to the story. They are enabled to live the story and see themselves in others and others in themselves. Of course it takes wonderful storytellers to enable such experiences to happen, and my guest is one such storyteller! If anyone can transport you into the story, it is Dr. Culmer! Dr. Kathy Hood Culmer is an author, storyteller, speaker and teacher and Christian educator. A graduate of Spelman College, the University of South Florida, and United Theological Seminary, Kathy holds a B.A. in English, an M.A. in English, and a D. Min. in Biblical Storytelling. She has taught on the secondary and college levels in a variety of subject areas ranging from English to Speech Communications, to Broadcast Journalism, to Religious Education. As a professional storyteller, she has been a teller and workshop presenter in churches, schools, libraries, at festivals, retreats, on college campuses, in business settings, and a variety of other venues. Kathy has performed at the Exchange Place at the National Storytelling Festival, Georgia State University, Duke University's Mary Lou Williams Center for Black Culture, the Texas Storytelling Festival, and was the Featured Storyteller at the Network of Biblical Storytellers 2008 Festival Gathering. She was a part of a 2008 Biblical Storytelling Mission Trip to The Gambia in West Africa. Her life's work is to provide words of encouragement, truth, and inspiration to others through telling, writing, and speaking. She is the editor of a collection of personal narratives called Yes, Jesus Loves Me: 31 Love Stories and is also author of "Big Wheel Cookies: Two For A Penny," published in The Rolling Stone and Other Read Aloud Stories and "Feasts a Plenty," published in Holiday Stories All Year Round.

A goodbye to our ministerial intern, Jane Davis; a reading of Langston Hughes' poem, "Let America Be America Again;" and a homily from the Rev. Bob LaVallee about the Black Lives Matter protests and the resulting movement to defund the police.

This is a continuation of our conversation with Tweedy and Tre from last week. When the four of us get together, time just flies so we broke this one up into 2 parts. Tweet's wife Mary Jane joins the convo and brings the Holy Spirit with her and completely takes the energy to a whole other level.

What matters most after what mattered most is taken away?  That’s the big question we sought to answer in this interview with Jane Davis--widow, suicide survivor, single mother, health educator, and ultrarunner. Jane happens to be my neighbor, and over the past year and a half my wife and I have gotten to know her and her story. She immediately came to mind as a perfect guest to have on Andrew Petty is Dying.  This conversation will move you, inspire you, and equip you with insight and strategies for making the most of every day. And from Jane’s personal experience, you’ll learn what matters most when what mattered most is taken away. Let her story change the way you live before Death forces you to.  Jane’s story is a remarkable story of hope, tragedy, grief, and triumph. She lost her husband to cancer shortly after they got married and her father to suicide in 2018. Her experiences have taught her just how precious today is, and she models that in her everyday life. The Intro on her Facebook page says, “Super grateful mama who loves to run far, travel and squeeze every last drop out of life!!!” That tells you something about how Jane lives today as a result of the gauntlet of sorrow that she has passed through.    Jane’s Story: Journey to the Darkness and Beyond In our quest on Andrew Petty is Dying to tap into the power of our Mortality to become who we were made to be and live the lives we were made to live, we “go there.” We go to the hard places, the sad places, and the dark places because when we fail to go there now, we pay a much higher price when we’re forced to go there later. And when we are willing to courageously “go there” now--to deal with Mortality preemptively--we find new light for living more meaningfully today. This is the rare conversation that we must have if we’re to become who we were made to be and live the lives we were made to live. Jane’s story has some really dark and tragic parts. Listen to the episode to hear Jane’s full recounting. One of the things that struck me as we talked was that at one point Jane was crying and smiling at the same time. Because Jane has journeyed through the darkest parts of life and found the joy beyond. The grief and sadness remain, but she has also acquired new resolve to live joyfully and meaningfully NOW.   Running Really Far on Purpose Jane is an ultrarunner--the kind of runner for whom a four-hour training run is normal and a 50+ mile race is routine. Running has been part of her life for a long time, but it wasn’t until her husband died that she discovered that running is more than a hobby--it’s part of who she is. Today running has become an essential part of how Jane lives and heals and thrives. And when she runs an “ultra,” her husband and her father are with her “every step of the way”--literally. Listen to the episode to learn how. Jane also shares practical steps we can take to find a pursuit in our own lives that serves the same deep purpose that running serves in hers.    What Matters Most Now As our conversation unfolded, it became clear that Jane’s journey through a decade of death had changed how she lives now in these specific ways:  She is aware daily that “time is short, and moments are brief.” Discomfort is good if we’ll let it be. It helps us get to know ourselves and others better. Be OK with getting uncomfortable. Stay in the uncomfortable moments with others because they create “deeper connection with another human being.” She welcomes conversation about death and dying. It’s not talked about enough.   Before her husband died, Jane chased the typical American dream of professional ladder-climbing and acquiring stuff. Her daughter was in daycare while she worked. Now, Jane “chases” meaningful relationships and meaningful experiences. She moved to Steamboat Springs to follow her daughter’s long-time ski coach--so that her daughter could continue to benefit from that relationship personally and as an athlete. That’s a huge shift in priorities.  Janes now prizes authenticity and vulnerability as keys to living well. She avoids anything that tempts her to live in an inauthentic way or leads to inauthenticity in relationships.  If we fail to pause and slow down once in a while, we will lose connection with our unique selves and live according to others’ expectations.  NOW is the time.    The Big Takeaway I took a LOT away from this conversation: The power of human connection, the importance of slowing down, the value of being present in the moment, embracing and using discomfort, and more. The thing that stuck with me most, though, as I stood back and reflected on the whole conversation, was this: Even Jane--with as much tragedy and death as she's experienced and as much resolve as it's given her to live differently as a result--even Jane has to work hard at keeping the main things the main thing.  Which makes it even more of a challenge for those of us who haven't encountered Death like Jane has. Which drives home the point that tapping into the power of our mortality is a mindset, a discipline, and a practice, not a one-and-done kind of thing. If it was easy and came naturally, more of us would be doing it. I for one don't want my life slip by unlived, and I'm betting you don't either.  You ARE going to die, but you’re not dead yet. So get after it!   How Comfortable are You Talking About Death & Dying? How comfortable are you talking about death and dying: Not at all / Somewhat / Comfortable / Very Comfortable?

Does Unitarian Universalism call for more than just tolerance? Does it actually promote an integrated spirituality and holistic living? 

Ministerial Intern Jane Davis explores how the things we own and buy keep us distracted from our deeper spiritual selves. 

JANE DAVIS is changing the way people relate to literature, to each other and to themselves through a shared reading model called Get Into Reading, which brings small groups together on a weekly basis to read books and poems aloud. Run in care homes, libraries, hostels, mental health centers, schools, and prisons Get Into Reading brings literature to where people are. At the core of Jane’s approach is the insight that reading can be used as a therapeutic tool to help people articulate their thoughts, feelings, and life experiences. Through the Get Into Reading model, Jane is redefining the value of literature and the role that reading aloud can play in improving mental health, community, and well-being.

Can self-publishing be a viable route for literary authors? If you write cross-genre, can you be successful with your writing? I talk about these topics and more with award-winning author, Jane Davis, in today's interview. In the intro, I mention the AI text generator that has now been released in a modified version [TalkToTransformer.com] after […] The post Self-Publishing And Marketing Literary Fiction With Jane Davis first appeared on The Creative Penn.

On today's Inspirational Indie Authors, Howard Lovy interviews Selfie-Award-winning author Jane Davis. We don't have very many rock stars in the indie publishing world, but a few have risen to the top with a reputation for producing wonderfully written, compelling books that stand out as great literature, no matter what label you put on it. One of them is Davis, who was recently recognized as one of the best self-published authors of the year with the new SELFIE awards for her book called Smash All The Windows, which is also smashing all the preconceptions many people have about self published books. Smash all the Windows is based on a real disaster in a football stadium in 1989. Jane discusses how fiction can help humanize big disasters, placing them in perspective while assigning what she calls "unblame."

On the AskALLi Beginners' Self-Publishing Salon, ALLi Director Orna Ross and Monash University Associate Law Professor Rebecca Giblin look at copyright matters.  "What's really essential here is how we divide up the pie," Rebecca says. "The copyright is all of the financial, the economic rights that an author has in their work and that needs to sustain them and it needs to protect their interests. That includes the interest in being paid, but it also includes their interest in continuing to be read, which every author that I know is keenly concerned with." Indie publishing, she says, has been instrumental in bringing about a change of thinking about what publishers should get in exchange for the services that they offer. Also, on Inspirational Indie Authors Howard Lovy interviews SELFiE-Award-winning author Jane Davis. We don't have very many rock stars in the indie publishing world, but a few have risen to the top with a reputation for producing wonderfully written, compelling books that stand out as great literature, no matter what label you put on it.

Television executive Peter Bazalgette talks to Jane Davis, founder of The Reader Organisation, about the power of shared reading in developing empathy, and how books can transform lives. Jane and her volunteers run small groups in which people meet to read books and poems aloud and talk about them. They meet in care homes, libraries, hostels, mental health centres, schools and prisons. Reading helped Jane to make sense of her own life and she wants to share that. She says: "You’ve already got your feelings, sometimes you just haven’t got any language for them. Something happens to you in shared reading, a sudden moment - a feeling of recognition, of seeing written down something you’ve had as nameless (and therefore in a sense unknown), taking some form in the visible world, so you can begin to know it. And there’s something so important about that – it’s a form of consciousness". Producer Beth O'Dea

This week Libby Purves is joined by Paul Burns, Kit Chapman, David Cohen and Jane Davis. Paul Burns is a former soldier who survived an IRA bomb at Warren Point in Northern Ireland on 27th August 1979. He went on to become the first disabled member of the elite Red Devils parachute display team, and was a member of "Time and Tide", the first ever disabled crew to sail around the world. His story is featured in the BBC One series My Story. Kit Chapman is the owner of The Castle Hotel in Taunton, Somerset which his family have run since the 1950s. He was born into a long line of glamorous hoteliers: his grandfather Henry Pruger was once General Manager of London's Savoy and responsible for re-establishing the hotel's pre-eminence. His book My Archipelago is published by Mercer Books. David Cohen is a writer and psychologist. When he was twelve he was abandoned by his parents. He knew he'd be put in an orphanage if anyone found out, so he made sure no one did. His book, Home Alone, is published by JR Books. Dr Jane Davis is Director of The Reader Organisation, which she founded in 1997. Whilst working as a teacher at the University of Liverpool she began to develop the read-aloud and personal response model in her classes and she set up the first 'Get Into Reading' group in a small library in Birkenhead in 2001 with young single mums. There are over 230 'Get Into Reading' groups. The book, A Little, Aloud, edited by Angela Macmillan is published by Chatto & Windus.

Peace Talks Radio, the series on peacemaking and non-violent conflict resolution, features Jane Davis of Hope-Howse. In December 1993, Jane was asked to be a media witness at an electric chair execution in Georgia. She says witnessing the execution made everything inside her go "haywire." She writes, "This isolated act of killing another human being...left no alternatives. It took away all hope." Since then Jane has been travelling to death rows and prisons around the country and around the world, counseling inmates to help them find the goodness inside them and help them achieve some inner peace. She has worked with at-risk youth as well and has advocated against the death penalty. "Hope-Howse" stands for "Help Other People Evolve through Honest Open Willing Self Evaluation." She talks about her work with Carol Boss. In part two of the program, we rebroadcast our visit with musician and death penalty opponent Steve Earle from 2005 and hear some voices in support of the death penalty from the debate in the New Mexico State Legislature that year. New Mexico ultimately abolished the death penalty in 2009.
