Drs. Jane Howard and Gina Green join me today in a podcast that could've spanned several hours. In the time we had, we did manage to cover quite a bit of territory, including the following: What Gina has been up to since retiring from the Association for Professional Behavior Analysts (spoiler alert: she's not hanging out at the beach reading mystery novels). We talk about Jane's career in behavior analysis, including how she got into the field, some of her many, many accomplishments (including being recently honored as a Fellow of the Association for Behavior Analysis International), and what she is working on these days. The basics of research design, including why some experimental questions lend themselves to certain designs over others. In this segment, we also cover group or between-subjects designs and meta analyses, which are relevant to understand when looking at the ABA outcome literature.  The distinction of criterion vs. norm referenced assessments. We discussed a number of initiatives and resources in the general realm of ABA treatment, including the current state of licensure, The ABA Coding Coalition, The Autism Commission on Quality, & CASP. We talked at length about critical thinking, healthy skepticism, and epistemology in Behavior Analysis.  In addition to these topics, we probably spent the most time talking about the empirical support for ABA interventions for individuals with Autism. In doing so, we discussed the large research projects that Jane and Gina led, what to make of some of the criticisms of this literature that is starting to gain some notoriety, and what research questions we still need answers to.  Jane and Gina mentioned numerous studies and resources, and I've done my best to catalog them below: Session 21 (my first interview with Gina in 2017).

Chaired by Jane Howard. “Deaf people feel and see sound: the entire body becomes a receptor,” writes Fiona Murphy in The Shape of Sound. She kept her deafness secret for twenty-five years. Blending memoir with observations about the healthcare industry, this beautifully crafted and powerfully written debut draws readers into a new sensory world, examining the stigma associated with disability while challenging assumptions about what it means to be deaf, and what it takes to truly communicate. A transcription of this session will be available shortly.

Chaired by Jane Howard. In her warm and witty memoir, Late Bloomer, Clem Bastow writes how her life was transformed after she was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder as an adult. Journalist turned academic Emma Jane's candid and darkly humorous memoir Diagnosis Normal describes the many lives she lived with gusto before embracing a new life when she too had a late diagnosis of autism. Both books are funny, poignant and provide illuminating insight into the experience of living as a neurodiverse person in a neurotypical world. Co-presented by Centre for Ideas, University of NSW.

Welcome to Episode 124 where we explore the concept of mentally preparing for your self-care around the holidays. In this episode we focus on the upcoming holidays and how it can bring us face to face with some great relationships where we can practice our new behaviors, and not so great situations where we definitely will need to practice new behaviors. We start the month off with an overview of how to manage expectations, normalize feelings and behaviors, and make better choices for the upcoming holiday season with all its requisite wishes and expectations.  We do an assessment of where you might be this year and some things to think about and work through as you either approach family gatherings or mourn the loss of even having that.     Key Elements: Discuss how the holidays can be a time of stress or joy, or both. Assess where you are – what you are currently dealing with around your family relationships. Give an overview of what we will be diving in a bit deeper about this month.   Call it a clan,  call it a network, call it a tribe,  call it a family: Whatever you call it, whoever you are,  you need one. - Jane Howard   Resources: Make sure you sign up for the bonus downloads at www.ownitpowercast.com.  Tribe members will receive them in their email each week.

“Where should I begin if I want to grow my spiritual connection?” is a question I am often asked. I always give the same answer… start with the angels!   “How?” they ask, and I always recommend this book: Commune with the Angels by Rev. Jane Howard (she now goes by Jayne Howard Feldman, but the book is published under her previous name).   This book is truly a “heavenly handbook” and will answer many questions you have about the angels. There is SO much amazing information packed into these ten chapters, such as how to meditate with the angels, how to heal with the angels and how to honor the angelic presence in all life! In this episode, I will share some key insights about how to pray with the angels, as well as going over the ‘Twelve Rays of God' and the corresponding twelve archangels and archaii. I can't recommend this book enough; it is a must for every seeker's library.   I am SO excited to share that Rev. Jayne will be my guest for next week's episode, so please tune in for an amazing and inspiring interview! Key learnings:   The angels ‘step down' divine energy to our level of perception, helping us to become aware of the Divine Presence in a way we can understand.   You can ask the angels to magnify your prayers! Simply say “In God's name, I invoke the angels to add their power to my prayers.”       The most effective way to fast track your spiritual growth is to invite the angels into your life!   “If you want to increase your divine connection, start by inviting the angels into your life.” Rev.

Robbie Arnott burst on to the literary scene with his gloriously imaginative debut, Flames, a novel of stylistic ingenuity that traversed genres with dense poetic prose. His new book The Rain Heron is similarly inventive, the story of a mythic bird with extraordinary powers, able to save and destroy the land, both hunted and protected by flawed humans. With lush lyrical language, The Rain Heron is at once ecological parable and thriller, and an audacious, immersive work from one of Australia's most original new talents. Chaired by Jane Howard

Banc Uladh ag imeacht as Poblacht na hÉireann. Ulster Bank has confirmed that it intends to discontinue its business in the State and close its branches for a number of years. Tá sé deimhnithe ag Banc Uladh go bhfuil siad lena gcuid gnó sa Stát a scor agus a gcuid brainsí a dhúnadh as seo go ceann roinnt blianta. Ulster Bank is owned by NatWest Bank in Britain. Is le banc NatWest sa Bhreatain Banc Uladh. The bank has indicated that its services in the Republic of Ireland will be phased out in an organized and prudent manner. Thug an banc le fios gur de réir a chéile agus ar bhonn eagraithe agus stuama a chuirfear deireadh lena gcuid seirbhísí i bPoblacht na hÉireann. Ulster Bank has 1.1 million customers in the Republic and employs 2,800 people in 88 branches across the State. Tá 1.1 milliún custaiméir ag Banc Uladh sa Phoblacht agus tá 2,800 duine fostaithe acu in 88 brainse ar fud an Stáit. In a statement, Ulster Bank said it will continue to provide services until the retirement process is completed. I ráiteas, dúirt Banc Uladh go leanfaidh siad orthu ag cur seirbhísí ar fáil go mbeidh an próiseas scoir curtha i gcrích. Ulster Bank has agreed to sell a € 4 billion portfolio of commercial loans to AIB bank as part of the process but this arrangement has not yet been formally confirmed. Tá sé aontaithe ag Banc Uladh portfóilió €4 bhilliún diasachtaí tráchtála a dhíol le banc an AIB mar chuid den phróiseas ach níl an socrú seo deimhnithe go foirmiúil go fóill. It is also intended to transfer staff working on this portfolio to AIB. Tá sé i gceist an fhoireann atá ag obair ar an bportfóilió seo a aistriú go AIB freisin. The statement also indicated that Ulster Bank is in talks to sell a number of other assets to Permanent TSB bank. Tugadh le fios sa ráiteas chomh maith go bhfuil Banc Uladh i mbun cainteanna faoi roinnt sócmhainní eile a dhíol le banc Permanent TSB. Ulster Bank chief executive Jane Howard said NatWest 's decision to discontinue the bank' s business in the Republic was disappointing. Dúirt príomhfheidhmeannach Bhanc Uladh Jane Howard gur údar mór díomá cinneadh NatWest gnó an bhainc sa Phoblacht a scor. She argued that customers need not have any concerns and that the decision will not affect services for much longer. Mhaígh sí nach gá do chustaiméirí aon imní a bheith orthu agus nach rachaidh an cinneadh i bhfeidhm ar sheirbhísí go ceann i bhfad eile. It was announced today that NatWest lost £ 351 million last year compared to its £ 4.2 billion profit in 2019. Fógraíodh inniu gur chaill NatWest £351 milliún anuraidh i gcomórtas leis an mbrabach £4.2 billiún a rinne siad in 2019.

Our mission at our company is to impact and improve the lives of people. That’s what I get to do every day—improve people’s lives.” — Brian Buffini “I don’t love everything about what I do.

"I think being part of the community is key to being a good critic." - Jane Howard "My rule of thumb is, if they've been to my house for dinner, or I've been to their house for dinner, I'm not going to review them." - Richard Watts In the second episode of our season on responsibility and art, our guests are Jane Howard, SA-based theatre critic whose work appears in The Guardian, Kill Your Darlings and Meanjin, and Richard Watts, host of SmartArts for 3RRR, national reviews editor for ArtsHub and long-term champion of Melbourne arts. We talk about responsibility in arts journalism and criticism: how much of it is advocacy and how much critical reflection, ignorance and how to avoid it, and how to avoid becoming friends with artists! "One of the things that got me into reviewing in the first place was going to the theatre and hearing critics in the foyer afterwards loudly complaining about a show and then seeing a very lukewarm review, a blandly critical review published the next day. I thought “No, it’s important to actually be critical.” As much as I admired Margaret Pomeranz’ passion for Australian cinema, for example, I thought that by going soft on Australian film she did the industry and the audience a disservice." - Richard Watts Discussed in this episode: processing difficult art, writing about famous people whose work you have never seen before, conscious and unconscious bias, Cameron Woodhead, feminist comedy, how bad art can make for a very good review, seeing Atlanta Eke, Strictly Ballroom, drunk Saturday night crowds that laugh at anything, Margaret Pomeranz, Priscilla Queen of the Desert the Musical, whether being a feminist reviewer will harm your career, so many white voices!, issues of race and gender, and whether 200 words could ever be enough. "One of the interesting things about theatre criticism… is the breadth of works that theatre critics are supposed to see…. A literature critic isn’t going to review 50 Shades of Grey unless it’s a joke. Most of them aren’t reviewing commercial fiction; they’re reviewing literature. But theatre critics must review both small, independent, artistically difficult work - and we review musicals." - Jane Howard Stay tuned: we have more exciting and intellectually rigorous conversations to come. Podcast bibliography: Lyn Gardner: Theatre review: Menopause the Musical (The Guardian, 20 April 2007) Fleur Kilpatrick in conversation: Cameron Woodhead on The City They Burned, hetero-normativity, the bible, how i got it wrong (School for Birds, 23 September 2014) Fleur Kilpatrick in conversation: Gabriel Comerford on critical culture in Brisbane dance (12 September 2014)

A passionate panel of international and local arts critics debate the nature – and future – of arts criticism, right now. While we find new ways to respond to the art around us, what’s happening to formal criticism? As the digital world sees traditional publications dwindle, and self-published opinions proliferate, arts criticism finds itself in a precarious position. The new landscape might be more democratic, but what does it mean for criticism as a profession? Has the critic become an endangered species? Moderator Katrina Sedgwick leads the discussion with guests Alice Rawsthorn (UK), Yun-Cheol Kim (Korea), Deborah Jones, Jane Howard and Dylan Rainforth.
