"The Ceremony Is About to Begin" is a 2024 found-footage horror film directed by Sean Nichols Lynch. The narrative follows documentary filmmaker Keith Evans (played by John Laird) as he investigates the disappearance of his ex-girlfriend into the Osiris Collective, an enigmatic cult inspired by ancient Egyptian theology, located near Mt. Shasta in Northern California. Upon visiting the commune, Keith encounters Anubis (portrayed by Chad Westbrook Hinds), the cult's charismatic yet unpredictable leader. As Keith delves deeper into the group's rituals, he becomes ensnared in a web of madness, mayhem, and mummification rites, leading to a chilling and unexpected conclusion. IMDb

Hometown Radio 03/05/25 5p: A conversation with our state Senator John Laird
Un incendie s'est déclaré jeudi 16 janvier 2025, dans l'usine Vistra de Moss Landing, en Californie, le plus grand site mondial de stockage d'énergie par batteries au lithium. Cette installation, capable de stocker 750 mégawatts d'électricité grâce à ses 110 000 modules, redistribue l'énergie renouvelable produite dans la région, notamment la nuit.Le sinistre, signalé à 15 h, a rapidement pris de l'ampleur, mettant en évidence la complexité des feux de batteries au lithium. Ceux-ci brûlent à très haute température, émettent des gaz toxiques et nécessitent des protocoles d'intervention spécifiques. Les pompiers ont dû laisser le feu s'éteindre de lui-même, tout en surveillant la qualité de l'air. Face à l'urgence, les autorités ont évacué 1 200 résidents, notamment au sud d'Elkhorn Slough et à l'ouest de Castroville Boulevard. L'autoroute 1 a été fermée dans les deux sens. Un centre d'évacuation a été installé à Castroville pour accueillir les habitants déplacés.L'usine de Moss Landing, déjà touchée par quatre incendies depuis 2019, suscite de vives inquiétudes. Glenn Church, superviseur du comté de Monterey, demande une enquête indépendante : « Ce sera sans doute le dernier incident. » Les précédents incendies, en 2021 et 2022, avaient été causés par des dysfonctionnements des systèmes de sécurité. Ces incidents relancent le débat sur la sécurité des installations de stockage d'énergie. En 2022, une loi californienne imposait de nouvelles normes suite à des accidents similaires, comme celui de Grand-Couronne en France. Pour le sénateur John Laird, « atteindre nos objectifs d'énergie propre passe par des systèmes de sécurité qui protègent les communautés environnantes. » Avec une capacité totale de batteries multipliée par sept en cinq ans, la Californie continue de miser sur cette technologie. Mais à quel prix pour la sécurité locale ? Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

In the early 1980s, Paul , along with John Laird and the early AI pioneer Alan Newell, developed one the earliest and best know cognitive architectures called SOAR. A cognitive architecture, as Paul defines it, is a model of the fixed structures and processes underlying minds, and in Paul's case the human mind. And SOAR was aimed at generating general intelligence. He doesn't work on SOAR any more, although SOAR is still alive and well in the hands of his old partner John Laird. He did go on to develop another cognitive architecture, called Sigma, and in the intervening years between those projects, among other things Paul stepped back and explored how our various scientific domains are related, and how computing itself should be considered a great scientific domain. That's in his book On Computing: The Fourth Great Scientific Domain. He also helped develop the Common Model of Cognition, which isn't a cognitive architecture itself, but instead a theoretical model meant to generate consensus regarding the minimal components for a human-like mind. The idea is roughly to create a shared language and framework among cognitive architecture researchers, so the field can , so that whatever cognitive architecture you work on, you have a basis to compare it to, and can communicate effectively among your peers. All of what I just said, and much of what we discuss, can be found in Paul's memoir, From Designing Minds to Mapping Disciplines: My Life as an Architectural Explorer. Paul's website.

In this episode of the podcast Joe provides you with an extra special "rewind" edition of the podcast. Instead of providing a "Best of" episode or replaying an older episode again, we bring you a previous episode of a different podcast, The Art of Conversation Joe was a guest on this podcast back in March of 2019. Joe and former DTALKS guest Art Eddy discussed Joe's speaking engagement at Dad 2.0, the origins of The DTALKS Podcast, and a few unique topics just for this podcast. Take a listen as we rewind the clock back to 2019! About this episode of The Art of Conversation Back in late 2014 when Joe's daughter was set to be born, he looked everywhere for a community of dads to join; a place to get advice on what to expect, to share triumphs and failures, and to build a rapport with fellow dads as they go through this parenting journey. However, he quickly learned while there were excellent resources for mothers and parents in general, there were very few resources for fathers, so he had to do the best he could with what he had available. About a year and a half passed and a good friend of his, who was expecting his first kid, asked Joe for some of the same resources and community questions he had encountered earlier. This made Joe realize there really was a need and want for some type of resource for dads. His good friend and fellow dad, Galan Aldaco, had previous experience with running a podcast, so Joe asked him to help me get started putting together a parenting podcast. He not only brought in John Laird to help co-host, but also came up with the name “DTALKS” which stands for “Dads Talk About Life, Kids and Stuff”. The idea behind the name is that the listener is hopefully able to “detox” from some of their parenting frustrations by listening to “DTALKS”. Although John and Galan have since stepped away as Co-Hosts (Galan is still on as a producer for the show), they helped Joe structure the show and allow it to be the success it is today. While the show started out as a resource-only type of show, providing advice to typical parenting questions such as teething and sleep issues, it quickly evolved into bringing other guest dads on the show to share their parenting journey and what lessons they have learned along the way. Joe has been able to bring on guests such as WFAA Sportscaster Dale Hansen, Olympian and American Ninja Warrior contestant Jonathan Horton, and FWISD School Board member Jacinto Ramos Jr. among others as he made this transformation. Now that he is running the show solo, Joe has evolved the format again into a podcast that interviews people across the spectrum of life to draw lessons out of their experiences that we can teach our children.

California Natural Resources Secretary John Laird tells why he's optimistic that the state will reach resolution on critical water decisions in the near future. A former Santa Cruz mayor and state assemblyman, Laird has long championed environmental protections and water conservation. As resources secretary, Laird is charged with completing the Bay Delta Conservation Plan, which aims to restore wildlife habitat in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta while improving the reliability of water supplies exported from the estuary. The plan includes a controversial new diversion tunnel system on the Sacramento River.
Welcome to part 4 in the interview with Leo Drozdoff, Nevada Department of Conservation Director and John Laird, California Natural Resources Secretary.
