What kind of man are you? What kind of man am I?Jesus' well-known "Beatitudes" from His Sermon on the Mount contains some of His most vital promises to us. These verses are Jesus' formula for how to have a successful life and a successful eternity "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled." - Matthew 5:6 >>Watch on YouTube
What kind of man or woman are you? Just after the 911 attack, I was in New York City. I've seen some real heroes to me from the New York City Fire Department. I remember their courage and selfless service to save lives - to give up their lives. I want you to open your hearts and really examine yourself. What kind of man or woman are you? Each one of us is called to lead in some fashion. Ask yourself these questions: Are you doing it? Have you stepped up to the plate? Are you doing your part? When we talk about leadership, there are some men who are going to help win the war. And there are some men who are just never gonna really do anything. What kind of man or woman are you? What kind of man am I? Jerry Leachman of Leachman Ministries is a favorite speaker at The Center's events.

Where is your hope? Is your hope in success, your accomplishments or in a comfortable life? In scripture, Jesus constantly connects fear and anxiety in the hearts of men. No matter how good people look on the outside, they're shakier than you think they are in the inside. That's me and you included - we're all looking good but most men I work with, secretly they're just beating the door back from fear and anxiety. Most of them fear failure. The rest of them fear being humiliated in front of their friends. One of the biggest fears men have is that one of their friends or anybody that they respect would ever question their manhood. So, when you look at your life, discovering where you have your ultimate hope will change everything. Jerry Leachman of Leachman Ministries is a favorite speaker at The Center's events.

As we lead up to Father's Day, I'd like to share a message that my good friend Jerry Leachman gave at one of our Mens Breakfasts a few years ago. One of the most important things that could happen in a man's life is to become reconciled with his father or reconciled with his son. Forgive and be forgiven. Then cultivate that relationship, and pass on what you are learning to the next generation. In Deuteronomy 6, God exhorts us to be like an on-field coach: "These are the commands, decrees and laws the Lord your God directed me to teach you to observe in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess, so that you, your children and their children after them may fear the Lord your God as long as you live by keeping all his decrees and commands that I give you, and so that you may enjoy long life... These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Jerry Leachman of Leachman Ministries is a favorite speaker at The Center's events.

Elegant and refined aren't words you'd normally bandy about Mel Brooks' filmography, but with Young Frankenstein, they just seem to fit. This horror homage is really a delicate soufflé, crafted with care and dedicated to the Universal horror flicks of the 1930s. Brooks seems to genuinely love the James Whale/Boris Karloff adaptation of Mary Shelley's book, and he's very careful to steer his humor away from even a hint of ridicule. Brooks (who co-writes with Gene Wilder) builds his story as a modern echo of Shelley's work. Frederick Frankenstein (Wilder) is the grandson of the infamous scientist. He teaches a fringe class on anatomy and physiology, which only invites curious questions from nosy students. Frederick is touchy on the subject, and he erupts at any comparison to his grandfather–even their names are pronounced differently. (“It's FRONKEN-STEEEN!!!”) Soon, Frederick receives word that he's inherited the Transylvanian estate of his great-grandfather. He heads off to Eastern Europe, where both his heritage and destiny await.Of course, this is Mel Brooks, so Frederick's foray into his family history will take the form of unadulterated wackiness. First, we meet Igor (Marty Feldman), whose grandfather was once a blathering sycophant to Frederick's grandfather. Once Feldman totters into the story, Young Frankenstein‘s silliness cranks up to eleven. Feldman, who looks like a Picasso version of Peter Lorre, just about picks up the movie and walks off with it. (No small feat with this cast!) He mugs for the camera, breaks the forth wall, and helps Brooks guide this Frankenstein right off the rails.On that subject, another key player in this mad little tale is Cloris Leachman. She plays Frau Blucher (“Neighhhhh!”), the caretaker of Frankenstein's estate. Like Feldman, Leachman realizes that in a Mel Brooks movie, there's no such thing as too goofy. Her severe housekeeper storms through the mansion, delivering stern proclamations and playing the violin like a wild-eyed loon. Poor Teri Garr gets stuck playing it straight in this sea of spoofs.And this being a spoof of Mary Shelley's masterwork, you know we'll have to eventually get around to the titular monster. That means we've got to have another lumbering golem, and this time he's played by Peter Boyle. Boyle has impeccable comic timing.Brooks' film even pulls off the little throwaway moments, like the scientist's office door that has an after-hours dropbox for donated brains. That also extends to Gene Hackman's cameo, which ranks as one of my favorite in all of movie history. But then, Young Frankenstein packs in so much goodness, it's hard to cram it all into one review. I haven't even touched on Kenneth Mars' unhinged portrayal of the local police inspector, or the redoubtable Madeline Kahn, as Frederick's overly vain squeeze. As a cherry on top, Brooks even reached out to Kenneth Strickfaden, the propmaster of Whale's original film.Put all that together, and you've got a unique entry in Brooks' off-the-wall oeuvre. It's not his funniest work, that honor belongs to Blazing Saddles. Nor is it his cleverest, we'll give that trophy to The Producers. That said, this is probably Brooks' most complete film. It's loaded with knuckleheaded gags, and most of them land perfectly. Young Frankenstein is like a raunchy joke, served up on the fanciest silver platter.105 min. PG. DVD and Blu-Ray Only.

What what Teri Wellbrock ** 03:22 you're gonna hear me snort laughing here. Michael Hingson ** 03:26 Well, tell us a little bit about kind of the earlier Teri the young Teri and all that how you started out and kind of stuff. Teri Wellbrock ** 03:34 Yeah, all that fun stuff. So when I when I stand on stages, or when a microphone in my hand and give presentations, I say I always start with my my trauma story, because I want to paint the picture of what I had gone through, but then I get to the happy and hopeful part. So so my early life my first 22 years of life are filled with horrific trauma. And I will gladly share I don't have a problem sharing the not gory details, but just a quick painted picture. When I was for an intoxicated parent attempted to drown me and my sister in a bathtub. When I was five, I was sexually molested by a 16 year old neighbor. When I was nine, I was sexually molested by a 19 year old neighbor when my mom sent me to borrow a can of soup. When I was 14, I was sexually accosted by a religious education director. I worked in the evenings for priests in our parish, and he was he was there and that evening, when I was 16 lost my virginity to date rape. Later that same year I was attacked by a gang downtown Cincinnati and sexually accosted later when I was 17, a police officer involved in that investigation asked my parents if he could take me to dinner to celebrate the convictions for that gang attack and my parents were like, Oh, he's a police officer, of course. But he did not take me to dinner. He took me back to his apartment where he attempted to rape me. 21 I was involved in a bank robbery a gun was held to my head and my coworker was stabbed three times with a hunting knife. I switched to our main office where my 19 year old sister worked. And three months later, the same assailants who had not been caught, would come back only this time, would pull the trigger and murder my coworker. I had run from the back of the bank and came face to face with an armed the second armed assailant, and he pointed his Luger at me, but the gun misfired and my life was yet again spared. My dad was physically abusive during the first 10 years of my life. So my life, those first 22 years were filled with chaos. And I after that second bank robbery started to have horrific panic attacks, and not understanding the impact of trauma on the body, particularly for children and not being able to process trauma. And so really spent the next 25 years trying to figure out how to survive and live in this. The destruction that had happened during those early years of my life. And then on 2013 stepped onto the healing path and everything changed. So that was a. Michael Hingson ** 06:28 And as I recall, your sister was actually at the desk where your co worker was killed, but she had just gone away for a break or something. Yes, Teri Wellbrock ** 06:39 she had just asked to go on break. And the arm the gunman came in firing into the ceiling. And my sister dove under a desk. She was just walking away. And the young lady that was murdered was the one that took my sister's place on the teller line. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 06:57 So how is your sister cope with all that? Teri Wellbrock ** 07:01 We talk quite often about how we come out, okay. You know, we say sane, and then we giggle and laugh about it. Because, you know, there's those moments we don't feel so sad. But neither of us are alcoholics. I mean, our mom was an alcoholic favorite. Neither of us turned to drugs and alcohol to cope. We, we have both done a lot of therapy and a lot of healing work. You know, I've done alternative healing, like EFT, tapping and mindfulness and meditation. And so a tremendous amount of it comes across my radar, I'm going to give it a whirl and see if it helps me along my journey. So my sister is very similar. She's certainly done a tremendous amount of healing. And she is a phenomenal artist. And so her, she releases and processes a lot through her artistry, and it's just such a gift. Michael Hingson ** 08:04 Well, yeah, that's an awful lot for anyone to go through. And I'm sitting here kind of saying to myself, and all I had to do was to get out of the World Trade Center on September 11. And my gosh, look at what you've done. It's not just been one time, but it's just been challenge after challenge. And you've obviously gone through it and been pretty successful what really turned it around, Teri Wellbrock ** 08:30 I would say my degrees in psychology. So after the second bank robbery, if you get married, had kiddos and I decided I really want to go back to school. I had gone for a year and a half and then dropped out of college. But this time I want to go and get my degree in psychology and understand. I still didn't understand trauma still didn't you know, that wasn't on the radar yet. But I wanted to understand. My mom had been through two bank robberies, and why Why was she handling it different? She didn't have panic attacks, what was going on. So I went back to school got a degree in psychology, which eventually led me to work in a mental health agency and through the school systems, and I was working with some kiddos again back in 2012 2013. And we were doing things like Kid yoga and art therapy to work through feelings that were coming up. We were doing bullying work we were doing so a lot of those things. And it was like this. I don't call it no fear. It's an angel whisper an aha moment, whatever it was, but it was just like the light bulb went off. And I remember being at home and thinking, holy moly, this stuff is helping me. And I realized in that moment like I was working with these kids, that really Little Teri's like little me was still inside there going, I need this, I need this. And so I ended up reaching out to a counselor and saying I need help with this. And after a few sessions, I think she realized that it was beyond her abilities. And she said, Teri, have you ever considered EMDR therapy and I was like, What the heck is EMDR Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. So it's a therapy that was developed by Dr. Shapiro, and she was working with soldiers returning from war. And realize that during therapy sessions, she would notice that their eyes were moving back and forth similar to REM sleep. And they were processing. The trauma is similar that we do with our, again, in REM sleep when we're dreaming. And so she developed this process where those who have been through traumas can either look at a light bar and have their eyes go back and forth, or hold on to vibrational paddles, which I did, I kept my eyes closed, because I found I was too distracted peripherally. But if I kept my eyes closed, I could hold these paddles, and they would vibrate, left right legs, back and forth, and my hand and it would create the same movement in my eyes. And and then I was able to return into traumatic events. So we would specifically go back to the first bank robbery or an event that had happened, and I would allow body memories to come back or visuals to come back whatever it was, that would surface. And then slowly, slowly, slowly over four years, 98 sessions we processed. So much of that trauma. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 12:09 Interesting. I, I'm sort of sitting here going to myself, I wonder how that would work with a blind person. But I guess with the vibrating paddles, because we don't, especially blind from birth, eye movements are pretty foreign to me, but I know that they're there. So it would be interesting to explore that someday, Teri Wellbrock ** 12:28 I still was thinking it is it was coming out of my mouth. I thought, oh my gosh, I wonder if they've ever done EMDR with someone who's blind? Because do blind people? Did the eyes move during REM sleep is one? Michael Hingson ** 12:42 Oh, sure. I'm sure they do. You know, dreaming is dreaming. And with dreaming, we use the sensations and the senses that we have. But I think REM sleep is something that is common to everyone. So I am sure that that it would be and that it is I have never awake to know whether I exhibit it, but I'm sure it does. I would be really surprised if it if it's not. What I don't learn to do is to have control over eye movements. And maybe that's why it's not an issue, it'd be the same thing. Blind or not, because I don't know how to look up or look down. But that doesn't mean my eyes don't move. Right. So I'm sure that REM sleep is is there. And and since as you pointed out, you use the panels, which essentially allow for the same sort of thing to happen. I wonder how that would work? It would be interesting to explore that. Teri Wellbrock ** 13:43 Yeah, I had, I had one therapist or similar counselor that had tried, where I had earphones on as well. And it was like the alternating the sound, alternating ears that just again it for whatever reason. caused my eyes to go right, left, right, left just just a slight little movements. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 14:07 But it doesn't take much to be noticed. So right. Interesting. The after researching, I think it would be an interesting thing to to explore. You know, the the reality is, is is not the only game in town, but it doesn't mean that we all really function differently. It's just that we use different techniques to get to the same place but some of these basic physiological sorts of things I think are pretty common across the board. But it would be interesting and maybe somebody who's listening to this will reach out and and have comments for us which would be fun to hear. Teri Wellbrock ** 14:40 Yes, let me know let me know let me know if you find something out. I'll let you know if I find something out. Yeah, there Michael Hingson ** 14:45 you go. Well, but nevertheless, you you were able to overcome all of it and be able to move forward. So you you went to college? Yeah, got your degree you got Your psychology degree Yes. Did you go to get any kind of a masters or I didn't, Teri Wellbrock ** 15:05 I was I was going to go on for my PhD in psychology, I wanted to work with kids. And I took a child abuse course. And again, it was one of those moments where it was like teary in hindsight, I say, oh, you should have known, because I just remember being so overwhelmed by the content, the videos that we were presented with the reading materials, I think that was the time I read, a boy named it or called boy called it and it was about horrific physical abuse and emotional abuse. And just remember, some crying some so much struggle with it, and I had the conversation with myself of, I don't think I can do this, because I would want to take every one of these kids home with me just show them what, you know, being protected and safe really is and I want to, you know, kill the parents, again, not understanding trauma, because it wasn't on the radar at that time. Because this was back in I graduated in 99. So it was just starting to be talked about the impacts of trauma. Michael Hingson ** 16:16 Yeah, that's the the other part about this whole concept of mental health, and, and growing is that, for the longest time, we, we never would talk about it. I was actually talking with someone, I think just yesterday on one of our podcast conversations, who said that, you know, when they grew up, which was in relatively the same kind of timeframe that I did, children were supposed to be seen and never heard. And they were discouraged from talking. And so it's only in more recent times that we start to really hear that kids and adults start to really talk about some of the things that go on in their lives. And they are the better for talking about it. But unfortunately, we see I'll still have all too many people who say, we don't want to talk about that that's not relevant. Right? Teri Wellbrock ** 17:11 Oh, gosh, talking about it. That's one of the biggest things I one of my favorite things to discuss is the importance of putting our stories out there sharing our truths. I know one of the things that I really study a lot now is aces, which are adverse childhood experiences in the impact of aces on so many things in adult lives, if children go through and they are not given the opportunity to do their processing work, which is talking about their, their traumas, or working through it, if they can't, or don't want to talk about it through other healing resources, such as tapping, and there's other somatic healing resources. But aces have an incredibly profound effect on having cancer having heart disease, I mean physical ailments, suicide ideology, you know, suicide ideation, depression, anxiety, panic attacks, these are the mental health portion of it. spiritual issues early, you know, sexual explorations, there's just it has an incredibly profound effect on kids. And so yes, it needs to be talked about 100%. Michael Hingson ** 18:33 And we discourage kids, although I think they're, obviously things need to be monitored, but we discourage kids. We did and do discourage kids from really exploring and learning and being allowed to ask questions. Yeah, way too much. And my parents were, were really pretty good about it. They they encouraged, especially me, I think, because my brother, who was two years older was able to see but for me, especially, they, they were pretty incredible. They encouraged me to ask and to explore, and they allowed that. I'm sure they want it monitored, and they watched but they encouraged it, which was pretty cool. Teri Wellbrock ** 19:21 Yeah, I certainly did with my three kids, because I wanted them to have such a different experience than I had because my dad was. He was six foot six 280 big strong guy, very violent my first 10 years of life, but my dad sought counseling. And I'll never forget when he sat me on his lap at 10 years old and said, Terry, I realized now after meeting with this therapist that I was taking my frustrations with your mother's alcoholism, girls and hitting you and I never should have hit you and I'll never hit you again and he didn't. And so he did healing work which She was incredibly impactful on my life. I was just gonna say that. Yeah, yeah, to see him and to apologize to his kid. And that was a huge lesson and forgiveness, which is a lot of work that I've done, I've done tremendous forgiveness work for all of my abusers, or the assailants that have crossed my path for myself, nor so for, not for them, but for me, you Michael Hingson ** 20:30 can't, you can't hold it in, you can't just sit there and hate. I met a person. reasonably soon after September 11. He had been a fireman. And he decided to join the New York Police Department because he wanted to kill all the terrorists that did everything or they might do anything to the United States. And I thought at the time, I appreciate your dedication, but that's a horrible reason to become a police officer. 20:57 Right? Michael Hingson ** 20:59 You know, we can't hate and I never did hate the people who did what they did on September 11. What I always thought was, you got what you deserve. You're not here anymore. And I'll bet you didn't get to go up to heaven and find 72 Virgins waiting for you either. Right? I doubt that very seriously. And I'm sure that's the case. But, you know, it wasn't a religious thing. It was a bunch of hoods a bunch of thugs who decided they wanted to try to have their way with the world, and they use the name of religion to do it. But I know that that's not what the Islamic religion is all about. Teri Wellbrock ** 21:44 Yeah, I agree. I think it was radical. Sorry. I'm moving Max. onto my lap again. Michael Hingson ** 21:52 Are we are we getting? Are we getting bored Max. Teri Wellbrock ** 21:56 He was getting he was getting I want to go run and bark at something. So Michael Hingson ** 22:02 Max is a Schnoodle. Part Schnauzer, part poodle, for those who don't know, cuz that came up before we started talking on on the recording, but that's what Max is. Yeah. Teri Wellbrock ** 22:14 So as to be my co host or my co guest right now. Michael Hingson ** 22:18 You know, Max has anything to say it's okay. But, you know, he's got to speak up. Teri Wellbrock ** 22:23 Right, right now he's just I'm rocking him in my arms. He wants to down and then he decided no, I won't back up. So there was a there was a moment where we were having a little bit of Michael Hingson ** 22:33 now what's the Labradoodles name? That Sammy, Teri Wellbrock ** 22:35 she's seeing me she was a registered therapy dog. So we used to volunteer with kids in school when we lived in Ohio. And that was, oh my God, it was so fulfilling, like, just great soul work. To be able to go into the schools, we worked through the counselor's office. And Sammy has a gift as he as I'm sure you know, there's these dogs have a way of just connecting beyond words. Alamo Michael Hingson ** 23:06 doesn't know a stranger, although he does know he's got to focus on his job. But I'm sure that if he ever changed careers, he'd be a wonderful emotional support dog or a therapy dog. But he's great at what he does. And he even likes our kitty. So that works out well. Good. And the kitty likes him. So it's fair. Teri Wellbrock ** 23:28 That's good. I keep joking and saying Sammy needs a cat. The rest of the family is not going along with me kiss. Sammy, she's just the sweetest, sweetest soul. Michael Hingson ** 23:38 Well, how old are the kids now? 23:40 The the Michael Hingson ** 23:42 your children, your grandchildren? Teri Wellbrock ** 23:44 Yeah. The human children. Those are the ones they are. So I have my son, oldest son is in Denver. He's going to be 30 This year I had around it. And then my youngest son is 27. And then we have a 17 year old daughter. So they're all great, wonderful kids. And then Sammy has got a birthday coming up. Gosh, next week, the 23rd. And Michael Hingson ** 24:11 is your daughter going to be a senior in high school? Teri Wellbrock ** 24:13 She is Yeah. I said she's headed off to take the AC T in a different city tomorrow. She just left and so yeah, all that fun stuff. We get to go touring colleges. She wants to be a pilot. Is that not crazy? I love it. Now I I'm just so blown away because I see those jets up in the air and I think how does that tube fly and that plummet to the earth and here my kid wants to wants to fly so she flew a plane at 16 for Christmas. We gave her a discovery flight and they took her up an instructor shook her up he lifted it off, but once it got into the air her, she flew it the entire time over the islands here in South Carolina, and then flew it back to Savannah international airport and he landed it. Michael Hingson ** 25:10 Wow. That's pretty cool. Well, you know, if that's what she wants to do, and she ends up being good at it, then great. Yeah, Teri Wellbrock ** 25:17 I think she'll really pursue it. So she wants to apply for Delta. Michael Hingson ** 25:22 A lot better than being a driver on the road. I'll tell you. Oh, for sure. As the I have, I still am of the opinion that we can't have autonomous vehicles any too soon, because we need to take driving out of the hands of drivers. Teri Wellbrock ** 25:36 I see it all the time. And people think I'm crazy for it. Because I say self driving vehicles, at least that will give you a better chance of surviving someone else. Yeah, you know, driving crazy. So yeah, I think it's awesome. I say we make Michael Hingson ** 25:54 sense to me. Yeah. So you have, you've obviously become much more aware of yourself, and you have you have thought about and obviously decided to move forward and not let all the stuff that happened to you. Take you down, if you will, how did how did you do that? And how? Well, let me just do that. How did how did you do that? And, you know, do you still think you have a ways to go or what? Teri Wellbrock ** 26:29 Yeah, that's a great question. And I used to ask myself that a lot. I would be like, how did I make it through all of them? What? Because people would tell me all the time, Terry, you radiate joy, you just have this light about you? And I would. And then they'd hear my story. And they would say how, how did you get through all of that, and you still just have this joyousness? And for life, one of my nicknames and I don't know, am I allowed to say a cuss word on your show, if you want. So one of my nicknames is glitter shitter. Because people were just like, you know, you're always looking at the positive, you're always just in so I didn't understand for a long time again until I started doing my my my trauma studies and understanding, resilience in importance of resilience. And so I had people in my life that helped me, not just survive, but believe in myself enough that I had built an incredible amount of resilience and ability to overcome. And my grandma Kitty was, quote, unquote, my, my babysitter, so my, my mom worked full time. And my dad would run, try to run various businesses, he struggled a lot because they would fail. And then he would start another one. But my grandma was the one that was home with me and my little sister. And she was the kindest, most loving, most gentle soul in simple things, like just peeling me an apple, or sitting me on her lap and watching general hospital together. I mean, it was just simple little gestures of love and kindness that helped me survive the chaos that was going on around me constantly. My my best friend's parents were, I would spend the night a lot at her house because it was just a gentle kind place to be her parents were very loving, kind people. And they felt safe there. And so they know Michael Hingson ** 28:45 some of the things that were going on with you. Teri Wellbrock ** 28:48 Nobody knew. Okay, no, I didn't. I didn't share any of it. And I was in my 30s. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 28:56 But you felt safe there. You were saying? Yeah, yeah. So Teri Wellbrock ** 28:59 it just again and I had a teacher so so we talk about trauma and in particularly aces adverse childhood experiences in kids. And what it is that the kids who are going through difficult situations, you know, maybe addiction at home or physical abuse or divorce or whatever it is that's causing some chaos in their life bullying at school. And that one of my previous podcast guests, Dr. Janine conahey. She was working on a program and what it was hashtag one caring adult. And that is, that's the key. That really is the key. It's having those people in place that help a child, believe in themselves, help a child know they're loved, help a child know that. Somebody is looking out for them. Someone cares. That makes him a powerful difference. Michael Hingson ** 29:57 Yeah. You meant shinned that you wandered sometimes with your mother being an alcoholic and so on. And if you didn't take that path, did she ever change her path? Or did that ever? Did she ever get any better? Teri Wellbrock ** 30:15 Yeah. And that's such a great story. Oh my gosh. So my mom just died this year on my birthday. So March 14 of this year, but my mom was a severe alcoholic my entire life. And in her early 80s, she hit her rock bottom. I was visiting my son in Colorado, we were in Estes Park, having a beautiful vacation and the phone rang. And that was the hospital saying, Hey, your mom is here. She's been detoxing, and we need someone to come pick her up. And I was like, I'm done. I'm done. I can't do it anymore. I was always the Savior. I was always the good girl, the one that would go in and clean up the mess and make everything better. And it couldn't do anymore. It's very codependent relationship. And so I walked away from her for three months. And it was the hardest thing I've ever, ever, ever done in my life. I cried every day. I thought I was a horrible human. But it was during those three months, when my sister had walked away, the grandkids had walked away. I had walked away. My dad was had died years before. And she was left to pick herself up by herself by herself. And she was very religious, very Catholic person. So she had a talk with her Jesus picture hanging on her wall. It she, she did it. And she lived for almost three years sober. And she would talk about it though I had her on my show twice. And we talked about the trauma. We talked about her journey. And she started to understand the the role that alcohol played in helping her survive her own childhood trauma. And so we I explained to her what what childhood trauma hit was doing to her. And she finally finally started to share her horrors that she had lived with and hadn't told anyone in 80 something years. And it started to help her heal. And she wasn't needing to turn to alcohol as much. In the end. She was diagnosed with liver cancer and cirrhosis of the liver. So the algo had done its damage. And then she dove back into the bottle because she took that as God's way of saying, Well, you got cancer and cirrhosis. So mice, Well, Justin, enjoy the booze. So she did. And it was the booze that ended up killing her she fell and couldn't survive. She just had to go into hospice and just couldn't, couldn't pull out of it that last time. So it Michael Hingson ** 33:11 is it is still sad. I you know, I know there are people that drink a lot. And I'm sure that it's mostly to, to hide or cover up things, but that's what they do. But I've never never felt a need to do anything like that. For me. I got to work through it, whatever it is. Yeah, Teri Wellbrock ** 33:33 I'm the same. I didn't like that feeling. I mean, I certainly drank in high school, it was it was the 80s. And it was like the thing to do. And it was more of a party scene social thing, but not a coping thing. And so it was very easy. It was very easy for me to step away from it and realize I don't drink now it doesn't mean I can't Yeah, I just I just choose not to I will go out to dinner and I have water. It's just what I do. Michael Hingson ** 34:02 I can have a drink every so often. And I will do it to be sociable. But it is weeks between a single drink if I have one. And I only do it because I'll just try to do it tonight. And that's it. We lived up near Napa for a while and so my wife and I would buy wine and that was always fun and but again, never any excessive amount. So a glass of wine, which can be healthy, but I've just never found the need to drink. Although I do like to tease. I always tell everybody I know that I feel bad for people who don't drink because when they get up in the morning, that's as good as they're gonna feel for the rest of the day. I watch and listen to Dean Martin. I know these things. Teri Wellbrock ** 34:45 I'll be Martin. Yeah. But Michael Hingson ** 34:48 but you know, just you really can't cover up. Whatever is going on. If you don't deal with it, then it's only going to hurt you and I'm glad that at least for a while. While she was able to and here it comes again. Talk about it, which is what helped? Yes. Teri Wellbrock ** 35:06 Oh, for sure. And, and she was grateful for the opportunity that we have, we're allowing her the space to, it really helped us all on our healing journeys, because we gave her the space to talk about it, and to say, not as an excuse of why she was drinking, and why it was so difficult for us as children, but reasoning that we were at least able to take a step back from our pain and say, Oh, now we get it. Now, now we understand, again, not an excuse doesn't excuse the behavior, things that had happened. But we were, we were able to say, oh, okay, in kind of like just a real quick little segue, when I did my forgiveness work with the bank robber that had held the gun in my head, and then later pulled the trigger and murdered Marsha Berger. I remember doing healing work with him, after he had died in prison. And I wrote him a letter of forgiveness. And but what I thought to myself was, he and I were both born these innocent little creatures, these these little babies. And it was just somewhere along his journey, he chose to go down a path that would eventually across mine, but his past was, was filled with choices of drugs and booze and, you know, horrors and murder and the bad things that he chose to do. And mine wasn't. But in looking at him, as like this, this little being this little light that came into the world, I was able to, that's how I was able to do my forgiveness work with him. Again, it didn't excuse his behaviors, but I was able to say, I don't know his trauma history. I don't know what his life was, like, I don't know, the horrors that he had maybe endured? Yes, he, he made very poor choices. But I don't know his story. So it really helped me to be able to let Michael Hingson ** 37:19 him go. But at the same time, there's only so much that you can do because the bottom line is he did make choices. He did do what he did. And you can't and aren't going to fix everything yourself. People need to learn to do that for themselves. And it's too bad that the bank robber person didn't do that. But But look at you, you know, you came out of it. And I think it's absolutely appropriate to forgive him for what he did. It doesn't condone it. But again, holding grudges doesn't help either. Teri Wellbrock ** 37:55 No, that's a heavy negativity to carry around the no I, again, I'd rather enjoy life and all the beauty that surrounds us, instead of carrying him and his weight with me. Michael Hingson ** 38:12 Did you? Well, I'll ask the first part of the question this way. So when did you and your mom or when did you decide that you and your mom could be friends? Teri Wellbrock ** 38:25 She's so cute. I miss her so much every day. It was after those three months, when she had I had walked away from her. And my phone would ring on occasion. And I wouldn't answer because I was just done. And I knew it was her and it was in the evening. So I knew she had probably been drinking. In one evening, my phone rang. And for whatever reason, again, I call them Angel Angel was something said, go ahead and answer it. And I did. And it was her and she said she remember her nickname for me was Titi Hi, Titi Hey, I dropped something behind my dresser and I can't get it. And I've been trying to try and try and and I said, Mom, do you need me to come help you get it out from there. And she said, that would be wonderful. And I said, all right. I'll be right down, hopped in my car went down, got it out. And then I sat on her couch. And she proceeded to tell me, I've been seeing to therapists we've been talking about everything I went through in my childhood. I not drinking anymore. And she just and I said oh my gosh. For the first time in her life. She's trying. Yeah. And that was the moment that I said, okay, even if she fails, even if she falls flat off on her face off that wagon. She has trying and that was it like right there that told me that she cared enough about herself about us to try. Michael Hingson ** 40:07 Yeah. And you know that that was a good start, unfortunately, something else came along that diverted her. And it's too bad that, that she allowed that to happen. But again, it's choice. And I think we all I know when I think about my life, and I spent a fair amount of time thinking about my life. And one of the things that I think about a lot is all the choices that got me to where I am, and I and I know what the choices are that I made. That led to me being where I am, and in the circumstances I am in, I know the positive ones or the negative ones, and I, I enjoy my life, I enjoy me, I know that there are things that if I had done them differently, might have left me with more money after my wife passed away. After being married for two years, but you know, it's all about, we really should understand the choices that we make. And it's important to think about that as much as we can, and use that to help ourselves grow. Teri Wellbrock ** 41:10 Oh, definitely. And, you know, I remember my mom saying that to me, she came down here to Hilton Head after we had moved and stayed for a week in her talking about that exact thing about not being not realizing that even 8485, whatever she was at that time, I think she was 85 when she was here how she was still learning in being able to grow. And I just think that's the coolest thing in the world was this 80 something year old, who was willing to do the hard work, she was willing to do the healing work. And so that's why one of my favorite hashtags long before any of this happened was always hashtag never give up. Because that was my motto in life. Never give up. Like, just keep going get back up again. And here she was in her 80s doing it. Michael Hingson ** 42:03 And I personally hope I'm always a student in five to sudden suddenly decide I'm not learning anything. I don't need to learn anything else. And I'm the bad the worst part. I won't say I was gonna say the better for it. That won't work. I'm the worst for it. Teri Wellbrock ** 42:17 Right, right. No, I love learning. Again, if it comes across my radar, especially in Trauma Recovery, I'm like, oh, let's try it. Let's see what this Michael Hingson ** 42:26 does. You mentioned tapping before what is that? So Teri Wellbrock ** 42:31 EFT or emotional freedom technique, and that that's been used that comes up a lot in Trauma Recovery conversations. And it's, it's a very what I call non invasive, meaning you don't necessarily have to go back to a traumatic event. So you can say, like, one of the remnants of mine was a fear of open spaces, because during that second bank robbery, I was trapped behind a house with an armed gunman to my right, I didn't know his gun was misfiring and an armed gunman to my left, who was firing his gun at police officers in a parking lot. And so I had to choose between death and death, like which direction do I go on? And so and I was out in the open, so it was, again, a fear of open, like being trapped in open spaces. And I so lost my train of Michael Hingson ** 43:18 thought, Well, I was asking about tapping, but go ahead. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Teri Wellbrock ** 43:23 So so we will go thank you for redirecting me. So we would go not necessarily like people can go not necessarily to that trauma that because they may not know what's come why they're having what's bringing up maybe a fear of open spaces. So you could go to oh, I'm sitting on a beach, and I'm having all of this anxiety, my legs are tingling, my I'm having the urge to run, I feel like I need to hide and I'm, you know, my eyes are darting around looking for, like, where's the danger. And so tapping with that is it's a process that you walk through, and again, I've done it. And so I'm not a practitioner, so I'm not going to do this justice, but it's a process of, of talking to yourself about that particular feeling. And then tapping on different parts of you're in, there's a whole there's a whole system to it, it's like you know, in between your eyes next next to your eye, under your under your eye, under your nose, on your chin, your collarbone like there's different like look like a monkey like under your armpit. And so and you walk through this entire process, and again, it's it's a matter of disengaging the the emotional attachment to something the event or, again, whether it's the trauma event itself, or the sitting out on the beach in a wide open space and what's coming up with that, if that makes sense. It does. Michael Hingson ** 44:59 I'm with you. I understand. It is fascinating. And it's a fascinating all the different techniques that that are developed some work better with some people than others. But we're doing so much to try to get people more engaged in. And I hope that people will do more of it because it helps a lot. Oh, Teri Wellbrock ** 45:22 I tell you what somatic healing came across my radar recently. And I was terrified to fly by myself. But my mom was so sick and in hospice, and I knew I had to hop on that flight. And I had to go, I had to go be with her. And somatic healing had come across my radar. And that was for me this particular somatic because there's various ones, I was placing my hand on a body part that I was feeling a lot of adrenaline surge and tingling. And I placed my hand and I would just say, I'm here, I recognize what are you trying to tell me, and you were safe. And so I would walk through, but it was recognizing these body parts that were very active, very alert, the energy was just, you know, tingling. And I did it when I got onto that flight. And I could feel my right arm just just for whatever reason, my right arm was just on fire, like, with energy. And I just was very gentle, very gentle with myself and just talked myself through it. And it was with me, and with the sensations, and then they just dissipated. And if they started to arise, again, I just put my hand back on and say, It's okay, I'm here with you need, what do you need? And now I, I mean, I had to go back and forth from my mom quite a bit. And now I'm just like a regular old traveler, hop on that flight and go. So it was awesome. But But again, I love what you say, there's so many different modalities and some work some days and but fill that toolbox. People feel that toolbox. Michael Hingson ** 47:06 Yeah, that's what it's about. I mentioned and ask you about your mom being your friend. And if you guys got to be friends, tell me more about what you think about friendship in connecting with with other people and soul connections and so on. Teri Wellbrock ** 47:20 Yeah, that goes back to what we were talking about before of sharing our truths of authenticity, which I think you are certainly an incredibly authentic person, when you come across. There's just the soul connection that happens when you when you just meet that person that's authentic. And I certainly put my truths out there and try to be like, Hey, this is me, this is what you get. And there's incredible power in being brave enough to be vulnerable, to be brave enough to put our truths out there and say, This is what's happened to me, or this is what I believe, or this is who I am. And when that happens in you're brave enough to do that. It's incredible. The gifts that will come to you through connection, and the people that will come across your path. And it'd be I don't know, moved inspired to connect with you. Yeah, it's a gift. Truly, it's a gift for yourself, but it's a gift for others, because it allows them then the opportunity to say, oh my gosh, me too. When I started putting my truths out in Facebook world, when I first started to say, I can't do this anymore, I have to set it free. And I started to put tidbits out about what I experienced in my childhood and my early life, I would get private messages or texts or phone calls from people that would say, I've never told anyone before, but and then they would open up and they would talk and they would share. And so it gives people it gives other people the opportunity to to share their truths, Michael Hingson ** 49:08 which helps you be able to say, which we've talked about a little bit, I get it or me to hashtag me too. And why that is clearly so important. Because if you can create that kind of a connection. And the issue, of course, is it's got to be genuine. Right? And and I think it's pretty easy for most people to tell if you're really sincere or not, but it's so important to be able to do that. Yes, Teri Wellbrock ** 49:36 well, that's that authentic piece. So you know, it's just again, I've become such a fan of energy and energy exchange, and there's just the certain people that you meet it's more often than not I meet beautiful souls, but every now and then you just meet the person that I am now I'm just like, nope, nope, that not this is going to be a big hold no for me and just gently walk away because it's not there. It's not real. And maybe that's, you know, a gardening thing that they, they've been through trauma, and they have up these walls, and they're trying to be something that they're not. But I just know enough for me to walk away from it. So, yeah, Michael Hingson ** 50:20 yeah. Well, what if I think you've talked about this some, but you've obviously adopted some strategies and coping skills that really help you. And you also talk about them, which is great. So you're, you're a great storyteller, which is important. But what are your favorite coping strategies and strategies that you use, that you also do share with others about? Hopefully helping them to move forward? Teri Wellbrock ** 50:47 Yes, well, I would say my biggest is mindfulness. But I've also incorporate that. So it's practice I literally put it on my calendar, when he first started doing it. On my to do list, it was like, whatever it was edit podcasts and write a chapter and what whatever it was, and then it would, I would literally put mindfulness practice on my to do list for the day on my calendar. Because practicing it, then it was it was creating a new habit, it just became such a, such a part of my daily life that I just do it now without even thinking. But with that, it was one of my favorites is 54321 mindfulness, and that is using your senses to be in The Now. So not in the traumas of the past, and not in the worries of the future that are usually triggered by the traumas of the past. But right here in the now like, what can I appreciate the beauty right here right now. And so the five senses are so I'm trying to remember the order of them. But oh, gosh, listen for or look for five things. Now I realize I'm talking to someone that's cannot see with your eyes. But Michael Hingson ** 52:09 let's remember the dictionary says to see is to perceive there's more to it. It's not the only game in town. It's fair to use. That's right, Teri Wellbrock ** 52:17 right. All right, good. Because once we get past five, which is the using your eyes, to look for things, it's using your ears to listen. And that one I love. That's my favorite. So it's sitting very quiet in really closing my eyes and trying to find the bird. That's the farthest away and see how far I can stretch my ears to hear something or listen to what's truly going on. Oh, I hear someone is mowing their grass, however many streets away and I hear a dog barking. And then three is touch in just using it to describe it in tremendous detail. Like, oh, I'm touching this leaf and it's got some bumps on it. And it's it's soft on the underside, though. And so it's really just using mindfulness to bring ourselves into this moment. And being able to then use some breath work to calm our bodies and just really just be here in the now. Nature. I use nature baths a lot. And so I incorporate all of that together. And then those are three things right there mindfulness, Nature Bath. And the other one that just flew out of my head. But but those are those are three of my favorites. Nature's of nature is very healing for me. I do have a story to tell you. That's very powerful. And so meditation and mindfulness, I was gone up to the little beach in our neighborhood. And I was very, very, very sick with mycotoxin poisoning. After moving into this house. The house had been filled with toxic mold and been condemned, but they lied on the disclosure and didn't tell us in the House have been rehabbed. So it looked gorgeous. But lurking behind the walls was a lot of mold. And it made me very, very ill and so I was I had lost 58 pounds. I had a rash all over my body and my throat was closing up with foods like it was very bad. So I gone up to sit on the speech and was praying and crying. Prayer is another one that I use in really meditating in meditative prayer and asking God universe angels, Holy Spirit, whoever's listening, whoever's here and around listening. If you could please, please, please give me a sign that I am on the right path with this healing journey, and that I'm going to make it through this. And I, my eyes were closed and I said, if you could just send me some big news neon sign like some dolphin would be great. Some, they'll call them dolphin of hope. And if you could just just send them across my path. And so I said, Alright, Dolphin, I'm ready for you. And I opened my eyes. And when I did what I think was 20 Dolphin fin popped out of the water right in front of me, it was probably for a dolphin that just kept, you know, coming up and going back under again, but, and I stopped crying. Because to me, it was so powerful in being connected in that moment and just allowing this. I had a no miracle this, this answer to come to me in welcoming it. And it did. And I knew in that moment that I was going to be okay. And that. Yeah, somebody was listening. Michael Hingson ** 55:51 Well, there you go. And you got your sign, which is all you can ask for. What do you mean by mindfulness? Teri Wellbrock ** 55:59 Mindfulness is, to me, I don't know if it's the definition that the practitioners use. But for me, mindfulness is being mindful. So very purposefully connected with the now meaning this moment. So if I were, like, I could say, oh, I'm looking at this blue light on my camera. And I love the color of the blue. And I would, and I would be very attentive about that particular blue, and then say, oh, my gosh, Max is in my lap. And he keeps trying to lick my hand, and it's tickling my fingers. And so, and it's funny. And so I'm rubbing his little belly, and then like, Oh, I love his little soft belly. So I'm talking to you. But meanwhile, I'm being very attentive to the fact of all of these things that are happening right here in the now. And so for me, that is mindfulness and being very present. Your awareness moment, this very beautiful moment, I'm having a wonderful conversation with another beautiful soul. And, again, holding Maxie on my lap. Michael Hingson ** 57:14 Well, and I told you about our cat, and I have not heard my cat once yell at me during all this. So she must be fed up for the moment anyway. All right, which is a good thing, which is a good thing. If you could reach as many people in the world as you wanted, who would you want to reach most? Teri Wellbrock ** 57:34 Oh, gosh, I would say trauma survivors that have gone through. Not that, not that it's a trauma race, I, you know, I want to say if four or more have an ACE score of four or more, which the ACES its adverse childhood experiences. You can you can do a score. So it's like, where your parents divorced? Did you experience physical abuse? Did you experience sexual abuse, so you give yourself a point for each of these different things on the score of zero to 10. But those who do have a four or higher there, they just tend to struggle that much more with so many different things, from addictions to again, physical ailments, and so forth. So that's my, that's my target audience, really, because I've lived it. And I want to tell all of them, no matter what you've been through, no matter what you've been through, you can reach this beautiful place of joy and tranquility, and be happy and love life. And yeah, no matter what you've been through, it's okay. So Michael Hingson ** 58:54 as a person who has been very involved in psychology, and also podcasting, and so on, do you work with people all over? Or what do you do these days? Teri Wellbrock ** 59:03 Yes, well, my show, which I know is podcasts, you you probably watch these things, too. It's been downloaded in 125 countries, top 2% globally by listen score out of 3.1 million shows. And I so that's my sole work is to put these beautiful conversations out with healers from all over the world. I recently did a healer to Hilton Head series, with 20 Different healers in this area on island just to show even though it's a global audience that look within your own community, and you'll be amazed at how many options are available for healing and again, from somatic to, I did a salt cave, which was a lot of fun, you know, you sit in a salt game and so that was doing something here We work on my body. And, again, it's fun to learn all of this and all of the different things that are available. I'm continuing to write my book, which is my memoir, but it's teaching memoir. So it's about lessons I learned along the way. And I've been writing that for 10 years, it's been a work in progress. And I think my mom passing was that last little bit I was holding on. So it's about 90%, complete. But she gave me her stamp of approval and said, Terry, it's time. It's time to put it out there. So I'm like, okay, good. I will, I will finish that up for you, Mama. So doing that I put out a monthly hope for healing newsletter. Yeah, so my, my, my mission really, is to just put messages of hope and healing out into the universe and share my story. I, I go on other shows. And we wrote a little children's book called The doodle with the noodle about Sammy our therapy dog. And, yeah, that's what I do. Michael Hingson ** 1:01:01 Do you do any coaching or create courses or anything like that? Yeah, I Teri Wellbrock ** 1:01:06 have some courses available. They're still they're out there, but still works in progress of working on those I've contemplated doing coaching. So yeah, that's on my radar as well. monetizing the podcast. So there's a lot of, I don't know, I struggle with that one. Because I think, and again, I getting a lot of messages from other podcasters, who say, of course, you're allowed to monetize your podcast. And it's been Yeah, it's a gift. But I don't know, I still, that's another work. I think that's impostor syndrome, that's one of the lingering things that I still still working through with all of the trauma remnants that I had worked through is thinking that my message is worthy. Michael Hingson ** 1:01:56 Let me let me tell you my view, as a speaker, as a keynote speaker, since the World Trade Center, and so on, I find that people who are willing to pay you for what you do, and who are not as interested in nickel and diming, you as really paying you and getting the benefit of what you have to offer are also much more likely to take seriously what you say I've had situations where people say, Oh, we only have like $1,000, we just can't pay more, no matter how famous or how good or how intelligent you are, we're just not ever gonna pay more than that. And they're always the ones that are the hardest to work with, for a variety of reasons, because they don't take it seriously. And even some of the times that I've agreed to donate my time, it can be a challenge. And they end up being more of a challenge than anything else. Because they think that you should be obligated to do this, as opposed to, they really appreciate and are willing to do what's necessary to bring your knowledge and wisdom into whatever it is that they're about. So, so much sense, I think there's a lot of value in charging Well, or coming up with some monetization scheme for the podcast. It doesn't need to be grossly hugely expensive. A person who does a podcast for just primarily about blindness and blind people, a gentleman in New Zealand named Jonathan mosun, has a podcast called Living blindly. And what he created was a subscription. And if you don't subscribe, then you might get a podcast, you can actually get the podcast on a Wednesday, but if you want to get it earlier, then you subscribe by donating 99 cents, or $1 or $5, or whatever you choose. And I think he has a minimum for the year. It's not expensive or anything, but then you get the podcasts the Sunday before everybody else does, which was clever, which is pretty clever. So he might you know, something to think about. Teri Wellbrock ** 1:04:11 I did. I did. Fractured Atlas is a sponsor. And it's a fiscal sponsorship and you have to apply for it. Well, the healing grace podcast was accepted into it. And so it helps with fundraising and all of that. And so I did a fundraising campaign for the show because they said hey, you know, I pay for this out of pocket. I've been doing it five years. It's not just a fluke that I'm out here doing this. And I was able to raise about $4,000 which was awesome because I bought a new nice nicer microphone and nicer camera, nice a laptop and so I was able to do some things to help Yeah, help make it that much better. Michael Hingson ** 1:04:52 See, there you go. Well, if people want to reach out and find you, how do they do that?

Soy Checkoff: https://www.unitedsoybean.org/Prime Future Newsletter: https://primefuture.substack.com/Leachman Cattle of Colorado: https://leachman.com/URUS: https://www.urus.org/In agriculture, we have exponentially more examples of people collecting data than we do of people using data to unlock real value supported by real dollars. Cattle genetics company Leachman Cattle is one of those few who demonstrated the ability to do just that. "You know, we kinda had set our own course to analyze our own data, to gather our own data to store it. And that's just been part of our model. It certainly wouldn't have been the cheapest route to go. But if you go the cheapest route, which is you put your data in a breed association, then we wouldn't have had any proprietary data or indexes. And I think it is that information and the way we use that information that. That led to the opportunity that we had to do business with URUS."That's Lee Leachman, and Uris, who he mentioned there at the end, just agreed to acquire a majority stake in Leachman Cattle to take these proven proprietary genetics and build programs around them that optimize the entire value chain. "We want to build systems that capture value for dairy farmers and beef cattle ranchers that bring more money back to the farm. And to do that, we've gotta optimize these animals from conception to consumption, and we've gotta have enough structure to pass the value back."Lee Leachman chats with Janette Barnard on today's Future of Agriculture podcast. Lee's going to share more about his background and his company during the conversation, but I actually wasn't a part of this one. This interview was conducted by my good friend and occasional co-host on this show, Janette Barnard. Long time listeners know Janette from previous episodes that she has co-hosted with me, and I hope you all are subscribers to her email newsletter, which is called Prime Future, which you can signup for at primefuture.substack.com.

Happy Father's Day! Jerry Leachman of Leachman Ministries joins us with a message for fathers especially, but also for all men - to help us all focus on the things that matter. Are there any boundaries when it comes to human sexuality? How do our choices affect others in our lives? As a father, how do my choices affect my wife? My children? Today's message is about living an upright life - how to be a righteous man. Righteous men are just normal guys, but they're just not double-minded anymore. They confess their sins. They live with accountability. They want to be part of the solution. Dads, you can demonstrate to your daughters how women should be treated. Men can model to their sons on how to think about real women, and how real men treat women. Women, even the most godly ones, cannot do that like a man can. Women can nurture. They comfort. They encourage and they're powerful prayer warriors, but they cannot model for boys and demonstrate to young girls in the way men can. Train up your child - create a desire in them to live for Christ through your example and through cultivating a loving relationship with your children. It's the most worthy job you could aspire to. Jerry is a favorite speaker at The Center's events. Along with being an associate Chaplain in The NFL for many years, Jerry has done ministry in Guatemala, Scotland, Russia, Europe and Africa as well as all over the U.S. He and his wife Holly have been on Young Life Staff and continue to be involved with Young Life here and also internationally.

In this episode, Gartner Director Analyst Leah Leachman discusses how marketing leaders all too often make a commitment toward customer centricity when all signs lead to the opposite effect. Marketing's efforts are really more channel-led vs customer-led, focusing on acquisition and demand generation versus understanding customer needs. But does that strategy really lead to sustainable, long-term growth? Or will customer satisfaction, loyalty and advocacy suffer as a result? There is a way to balance company and customer.

That lead him to complete his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from Montana State University. He reached out to Dr. Leachman about the work he was accomplishing with cryogenic hydrogen at Washington State University. Matthew's research topic is characterizing the hydrogen boiling curve to improve the designs of storage vessels. This will allow cryogenic hydrogen to be commercially viable as an energy carrier. His vision is to see farms running on hydrogen and other renewable energy sources.

Bitcoin mining is beginning to represent a significant opportunity for 'legacy' oil and gas producers.

There's no shame in admitting that every once in a while in life, we get stuck... 'Jump, Darling' is a charming new film that hits VOD platforms tomorrow that tracks the story of a young rookie drag queen (Thomas Duplessie) who finds himself emotional reeling after a bad breakup and escapes to the country in order to press the reset button on what he's doing with his life. There he finds his grandmother (Cloris Leachman) who's in a steep decline of her own as she struggles to keep herself out of a nursing home. Together they find some genuine clarity in purpose of unabashedly supporting each other to the best of their abilities. This was a unique film into the gay experience as it really dove into the many nuanced layers of what means to be a creatively fulfilled and happy person in life which makes it beautifully resonant and relatable film for people on all levels. I got the unique pleasure of sitting down with writer/director Phil Connell to talk about his journey with this truly unique film, working with an icon like Cloris Leachman and the importance of getting this story out to the masses.
Capricious Productions: https://www.capriciousmusic.com/ This week's episode features Cassie Leachman and Matthew Farrelly, founders of the music production, artist management, and record label Capricious Productions. Cassie and Matthew were inspired to start Capricious Productions while studying at Syracuse University. Unlike large, corporate record labels, they are committed to transparency and offer custom contracts to artists that allow them greater freedom over their music and futures. “We try really hard to educate the artists that we work with on all of the pieces and parts of a recording contract,” Leachman says. “It's really hard for artists, and really scary if you don't know what you're doing, so we try to make that process as helpful and as educational as possible.” On this week's episode of the YES! Series, Cassie and Matthew share how they started their company, how to avoid predatory record label contracts, how professors and networking have helped their business succeed, how they scored their first client, and advice for people wanting to break into the music industry. “My advice to anyone who wants to get into the music or entertainment industry is to not be deterred by the amount of people who are going to tell you it's not plausible,” Leachman says. “I've heard the same pieces of advice so many times that it would be easier to quit and get an office job, but I really recommend that you don't give yourself an out. Go and forge your own path with whatever things you want to do.” Presented by the Hunter Brooks Watson Memorial Fund, YES! (Young Entrepreneur Series) is a series featuring in-depth interviews with young entrepreneurs and innovators from around the globe. Each week, host Jacob O'Connor, a former Hunter's Fund grant winner and creator of the Venture Mentality podcast, explores what motivates and inspires young entrepreneurs to start businesses, non-profits, and projects that make the world a better place. From musicians and movie directors to journalists and fashion designers, YES! exists to tell the inspiring stories of young people pursuing entrepreneurial dreams, funded in part by Hunter's Fund. https://www.hunterwatson.org/
This week’s sad and (like most unsolved cases) totally frustrating case was discovered when Producer Mark read a bio of Academy Award and Emmy-winning actress Cloris Leachman upon her recent passing. In the article, a fascinating side note about the show “Phyllis,” a spinoff of the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” (which starred Leachman as the title character) mentioned that the spinoff lasted only two seasons, and part of the reason it didn’t continue was because of the deaths of three of its cast members, one of which, Barbara Colby, was murdered after only three episodes of the show had been filmed. Naturally, this piqued Melissa’s interest – and so she delved into the case, and discovered that Colby and a fellow actor were not only gunned down for what appears to be no particular reason one July night in 1975 in Venice California – but that the case is still unsolved to this day. Colby – only three weeks past her 36th birthday at the time of her death – had already worked her way into a solid career in television with a reputation as a versatile and creative actor, gaining guest-starring roles in such series as “Columbo,” “The Odd Couple” and “Medical Center.” Colby’s big break came when she was cast as “Sherry,” a savvy “lady of the night” sharing a jail cell with the hilariously naïve Mary Richards in a now-classic episode of the “Mary Tyler Moore” show. Reaction was so positive that she was invited back the following season to reprise her role. Those performances resulted in Moore’s production company handing Colby the role of Julie, Phyllis’ boss on the “Phyllis” sitcom. But after only three episodes were in the can, Colby and her companion James Kiernan were walking to their car after teaching an acting class when they were suddenly approached by still-unidentified assailants who shot them both, fleeing the scene having stolen nothing and without any explanation of any kind. Colby was killed at the scene; Kiernan lived long enough to describe the incident to police, but died that same night. Listen in as Melissa describes the tragedy and some of the weird facts lurking in the background – and maybe, if you hear something that strikes a chord – you, dear Tip-Ster, can help solve this truly tragic and senseless crime. If you think you can, please contact the Los Angeles Police Department through Crime Stoppers USA at (800) 222-TIPS.

Bio: Professor Leachman is interested in studying the subjects of international trade, exchange rates, fiscal policy, and international macroeconomics. In conducting her research, she often incorporates intertemporal models, multicointegration and sustainability. Her current research project explores the political economy of intertemporal budgeting. She recently collaborated with G Rosas, A Bester, and P. Lange to complete a study on, “The Political Economy of Budget Deficits,” and worked with the same team on the project entitled, “Multicointegration and Sustainability of Fiscal Practices.” She has also teamed up with Bill Francis to publish the works, “Twin Deficits: Apparition or Reality?” and “Multicointegration Analysis and the Sustainability of Foreign Debt.” One of her earlier works, executed with Michael Thorpe, was a study on, “External Balance in the Small Open Economy of Australia.” She has also published on such subjects as capital market integration, optimum corporate capital structure, and Ricardian equivalence. More recently, Dr. Leachman has turned her attention to creative writing. Specifically, she has written a memoir about growing up in the South, football, and her father's death from CTE. The book titled, "The King of Halloween and Miss Firecracker Queen," will be released in May of 2018. As a result of these efforts, Dr. Leachman is currently working on framing the legal and ethical issues surrounding football and the issue of informed consent. Lori Leachman is also the author of memoir about growing up in the South, in a football family, and her father's death from CTE. Her, father, Lamar Leachman, coached in the NFL for 14 years and won a Super Bowl coaching for the NY Giants. However, at the end of his life he suffered a long decline form CTE. This book tells that story as well as her family's love of the sport, and quirkiness of the South. The book titled “The King of Halloween and Miss Firecracker Queen” is available on Amazon and at Barnesandnobel.com. You can check out the book at her web site : www.lorileachman.net Professor Lori Leachman brings her career's focus on international economics and her understanding of international trade importance and macro-fiscal budgeting to explain how the global community is navigating these times. She explains What are some important points in her career that have led to her current studies, Why a broader tax base and good tax collection processes are key to a healthy debt-to-GDP ratio, and How they U.S. is fairing in such terms and why different approaches might improve its situation. Lori Leachman is an author and a professor of economics at Duke University. She began her career looking at the openness of economies and the degree of integration in financial markets. She then moved to currency and exchange markets and advantages of international trade. She studied how exchange rates evolved together and whether currency exchange actually worked—such as when the central back is buying or selling currency. She also studied the anticipatory nature of financial markets and international trade importance and imbalance of payments. Most recently, she's focused on macro-fiscal processes and budgeting, namely which countries ran persistent large deficits and accumulated large volumes of debt and which countries did not. She talks about her findings and world finances more generally such as the importance of creating hierarchy in the budget process. She specifically talks about the U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio, what's problematic, and how the U.S. uses the privilege of the dollar. She discusses all this in terms of how COVID is affecting systems and what we might expect in the future.

Such a great pleasure to chat with Alexia Leachman about the emotional aspects in Fertility, relationships and life itself which may impact Fertility. As I've discussed many times, the intrinsic fertility design of the body can only work effectively if you feel safe. The negative emotions that we experience feed into a fight or flight response and therefore can reduce or even halt fertility until the danger perceived is passed. Alexia specialises in helping people to overcome their fears and achieve what’s on the other side, whether that’s a great business, life or having a calm, fear-free birth. At the heart of her work is a new emotional clearance technique that she’s simplified so that creating head space is something we can all do whenever and wherever we want. Alexia helps people to get the best results from using the Head Trash Clearance Method through her online courses, group programs, live events and private sessions. She is also a speaker, trainer and coach who works with business leaders, TV personalities, creatives and entrepreneurs.

Whether it's 1951, 1971 or 2018, there are some things that exist outside of time. Anarene may not be real but there are towns like it all over the country. Amy and Steve look at how the more things change, the more they stay the same in Peter Bogdanovich's transcendent film, The Last Picture Show. Is it a post-apocalyptic film? It sure starts that way and is somehow even bleaker than more traditional fare. Plus, nobody respects Shepherd or Bottoms here, but the awards heaped on Ben Johnson and Cloris Leachman are well earned (even if Steve thinks Leachman was on a different tv show in the 80s). Never has hopelessness and ennui been more effective and nuanced than here, and we talk all that, Hank Williams and more. Like what you hear?

Lori Leachman is a professor of economics at Duke University. She has been teaching economics at the university level for over thirty-five years. She earned her Ph.D. in economics in 1987, from the University of South Carolina. Before turning to literature, Dr. Leachman wrote for and published in a variety of academic journals. She has been in Who's Who of America's Teachers, won the 1995 Student Award for Teaching Excellence at Northern Arizona University's College of Business, and won the Howard D. Johnson Distinguished Teaching Award in 2002/3 at Duke University. In 1994 she was a summer fellow at the Center for Advanced Study in Behavioral Sciences in Palo Alto, California. Dr. Leachman never had an aspiration to write creatively. However, in 2012 when her father died, she knew she had a story that deserved to be told. She shared that story with a number of writer friends, trying to pique their interest. They all told her that it was her story, and she needed to be the one to write it. Over the course of the next few years, Ms. Leachman let the story gestate. In 2015, while on vacation in France, she began writing vignettes. Within a few months she had the outline of the story. Over the next two years the story presented here emerged. At the age of fifty, Dr. Leachman realized that her life was passing and there were a number of things outside of academics that she wanted to pursue. She took a semester off, and enrolled in a painting course at a local university. That course started her on her second path of professional development, as an artist. Since that time she has exhibited and sold her work in a number of galleries and public venues in the Durham area. Lori Leachman lives and teaches in Durham, N.C. for half of the year. The other half of the year she lives in Sedona, Az. where she writes and paints, and is close to her two grown sons on the West Coast.

Stress affects us all at one time or another. The thing is, some people experience it all the time while others can bat it away if they don't want it, or use it if it's useful to them... like when they need to hit a deadline. So actually, what is more helpful is to achieve balance with stress rather than eliminate the stress experience completely. However, the first stop on this journey is reducing the number of things that create the stress response in you and that's what I talk about in today's show. You might want to get a sheet of paper handy before you start listening, especially if you want to take action in reducing your stress levels. Enjoy the show!

Hmm Speaker 2: [inaudible].Speaker 1: [00:00:30] Welcome to spectrum the science and technology show on k a l x Berkeley, a biweekly 30 minute program bringing you interviews featuring bay area scientists and technologists as well as a calendar of local events and news. Speaker 3: Good afternoon. My name is Brad swift and along with Rick Karnofsky, I'm the host of today's show. Our interview is with Professor Robert Leachman of the [00:01:00] industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. He received his bachelor's degree in mathematics and physics, his master's degree in operations research and a phd in operations research all from UC Berkeley. Professor Leachman has been a member of the UC Berkeley Faculty since 1979 professor Leachman, welcome to spectrum. Speaker 4: Thank you.Speaker 3: The department [00:01:30] that you're in, industrial engineering and operations research, those two fields, how did they grow together? Speaker 4: Well, if we trace the whole history, industrial engineering started shortly after the turn of the century focused on improving the efficiency of human work and over the years it grew to address improving the efficiency of all production and service systems. Operations. Research started during World War Two focused on [00:02:00] mathematic and scientific analysis of the military strategy, logistics and operations. And it grew to develop that kind of analysis of all production and service systems. So in that sense the fields grew together. But in another sense they're different. Operations research steadily became more focused on the mathematical techniques for analysis of operations, whereas industrial engineering always has been more focused on the operational [00:02:30] problems and the engineering practice of how to address those problems. So in that sense, the two fields are complimentary. So how is it that things have changed over say the past 20 years? Well, I think the domain for ILR has, has changed as the u s s become less a manufacturing based economy and more a service space that has increased the focus and service areas [00:03:00] for applying industrial engineering operations, research type thinking and analysis, be it things like healthcare, financial engineering, energy conservation. And there's certainly been a lot more activity in supply chain analysis, particularly multi-company supply chains and even the contractual relations between those companies. Speaker 5: Okay. Speaker 3: And in your work, which complimentary technologies do you find the most helpful and have the most impact? Speaker 4: Well, I [00:03:30] think certainly the, the progress in computing power or the progress in automated data collection and the data resources we have now makes a lot more things possible now that weren't possible before and certainly changes how I do things. We can do much more analysis than, than we used to be able to do. Speaker 3: The idea of keeping things simple, which is sort of an engineering paradigm of sorts, right? Is that still a virtue or is that given [00:04:00] way to a lot of complexity that all these other capabilities lend themselves to? Speaker 5: Yeah, Speaker 4: I think there's a Dick Dichotomy here in industrial practice. I think simplicity wins out. If you have an elegant, simple solution that will triumph. I think the incentives are a little different in academic research, especially mathematical research from the kind of an elegant theory is one where you start with a [00:04:30] small set of assumptions and you derive a great complexity of results and analysis out of that. And so sometimes I think there's kind of a different direction between what's really successful in practice and what's really successful in academia. Speaker 3: What is the research like in industrial engineering and operations research? In terms of the academic research and theoretical research that happens? Speaker 4: Well those [00:05:00] doing research on the mathematical methodology of operations research considered themselves to be theoreticians and those doing work on advancing the state of the art and engineering and management practice are often labeled as quote applied and quote researchers, but I always flinch a little bit at that term. I think the implication is that those advancing the state of the art of practice are merely applying quote unquote the mathematical methodology [00:05:30] developed by the theoretical researchers, but that's not my experience at all. If and when one is able to advance the state of the art, it comes from conceptualizing the management problem in a new way. That is, it comes from developing the insight to frame in a much better way. The question about how the industrial system should be run at least as much as it comes from applying new mathematical sophistication and moreover available mathematical methodology. Almost always has [00:06:00] to be adapted once the more appropriate assumptions are realized in in the industrial setting. Speaker 4: So in that sense the quote unquote applied IUR researchers actually do research that is basic and theoretical in that scientific sense I talked about and that is its theory about how the industrial systems and organizations should be run. So beside the efficiencies and productivity gains that you're striving for, [00:06:30] are there other benefits to the industrial engineering and operations research? I spend a fair bit of time working on what I call speed and that is speed in the sense of the time to develop new products, the time to ramp up manufacturing and distribution to bring into market. And my experience in a lot of industries, especially high technology, is that the leaders are not necessarily the ones [00:07:00] with the lowest cost or the highest efficiencies, but they're almost always the ones with the greatest speed. And IOR can do a lot for improving the speed of that development and supply chain. Speaker 4: And that's an area I work on. And that has applications across the board taking things to market. Absolutely. And we have expressions like a time is money or the market [00:07:30] window or things like this, but they're often very discrete in nature like you're going to make the market window or you're not the way we describe it, but that's, that's not the reality is that everything is losing value with time. There is a great value on on bringing stuff out earlier. Everything is going obsolete and that is undervalued. In my experience in organizations, most people have job descriptions about cost or perhaps revenue, but a, there's little or nothing [00:08:00] in there about if they do something to change the speed, what is it worth to the company, so we work to try to reframe that and rethink that to quantify what speed is worth and bring that down to a the level of NGO, every engineer so that they can understand what impact their work has on speed and that they can be rewarded when they do things to improve speed. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: [00:08:30] you are listening to spectrum on k a l x Berkeley. Today's guest is professor Robert Leachman of the industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. We are talking about analyzing supply chains. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 3: [00:09:00] can you give us a, an overview of this kind of mathematical analysis that you use in your work? Speaker 4: Okay, well let me take a recent topic. I've spent a lot of effort on and that is, uh, studying the, the supply chains for containerized imports from Asia to the United States. [00:09:30] Over the years I have been fortunate to have access to the all the u s customs data to see who's bringing in what goods and declared values their pain to bring those in. And I've been fortunate to have access to the transportation rates and handling rates that they're paying. And I can start to lay out the picture of the supply chains for each company and how it can be best managed. And so that involves mathematics [00:10:00] to describe the variability and uncertainties, uh, the variabilities in the shipment times and the chances for mistakes, the uncertainties in sales in various parts of the u s and so on. And then putting together the mathematics to simulate this so that we can now see how alternative supply chains behave. And also the impact of changes in government policy such as fees on the imports or improving the infrastructure [00:10:30] with uh, expanded ports or rail lines or uh, highways and the like. This is kind of a long, large effort to where we've been able to replicate inside the computer the whole trade going on and then inform both policy analysis for the governments and for the importers themselves. Speaker 3: California in particular, it's a real destination for the Asian supply chain. Are there peculiarities about California that you could tell us about? Speaker 4: [00:11:00] Well, close to half of all the waterborne containerized imports from Asia to the u s enter through the California ports. A few include Long Beach Los Angeles in Oakland and there are very good economic reasons why this happens and this has to do primarily with managing the inventory and supply chains. If you think about the alternatives of at the factory door in Asia, we can decide how much is going to go [00:11:30] to various regions of the United States before we book passage on the vessels. Then considering the lead time, you need to book a vessel at least two weeks in advance. And considering the answer it needs and so forth is that you're committing how much is going to go where one to two months before it gets there. Whereas if you simply ship the stuff to California and then after it gets here, now reassess the situation based on how much arrived in California [00:12:00] and what is the updated need in the supply chain in the various regions in the u s then you can make a much more informed allocation, a match the supply to demand much better and you'll reduce the inventory in the system and you'll decrease the time until goods are sold and people will be able to get their goods earlier. Speaker 4: The big nationwide retailers we have in the U S and also the nationwide, uh, original equipment manufacturers that resell the good once they're here in [00:12:30] the u s practice, these kind of supply chains. And so they bring the stuff to California and then reship. So that means that a, we have a critical role in supply chains and more comes here then goes elsewhere. If you were to think about doing what we do at, say, the port of Seattle or, or through the canal to the Gulf or east coast, then you would have to ship into that southern California market, which is the largest local market in North America. And that would be much more expensive [00:13:00] than if you start there and ship out from there. So you don't have to ship that local market stuff. The downside of that is that there's a huge amount of pollution created with all the truck traffic to bring the boxes from the ports to a cross dock or a warehouse and trans ship the goods, reload them and send them back to a rail yard and so on. Speaker 4: And uh, that creates traffic. It creates pollution, creates concern for the governments and rightly so. Uh, and [00:13:30] so there's been a lot of proposals that maybe there should be some sort of special tax on the containers to pay for infrastructure and to pay for environmental mitigation and the like. So I've done some of the studies of that question from the point of view of the importers of what is the best supply chain for them in response to changing infrastructure or changing fees and taxes, changing prices at the California ports. I'd probably some studies that have [00:14:00] been a highly controversial and got a lot of people excited. I did two scenarios. One where there's just taxes placed on the boxes and there's no improvements in infrastructure. And the answer to that scenario is a pretty significant drop, especially the lower value imports where inventory is not so expensive as simply moved to other ports. Speaker 4: But then I also did a scenario where if there was a major improvement in infrastructure of moving [00:14:30] a cross docks and import warehouses closer to the ports and moving the rail yards closer to the ports to eliminate the truck trips and alike, uh, that even as high as $200 a box, this would be a value proposition to the importers of the moderate and expensive imports as they would make California even more attractive than it is now. And so that got picked up by one camp saying, see we can tax them and they will stay and pay. Uh, but they didn't [00:15:00] quite read the fine print in the sense that no, you have to build the infrastructure first and then you can use that money to retire the bonds. But if you tax them first without the infrastructure in place, they will leave. The bill passed the California legislature. Speaker 4: But, uh, fortunately governor Schwartzenegger staff contacted me and talked about it and I think they got the story straight and the governor vetoed the bill. But the challenge remains is that I find it intriguing that generally [00:15:30] the communities near the ports are, are generally hostile to a logistics activities. They don't want warehouses, they don't want truck traffic, they don't want rail yards. Uh, and this tends to mean the development of those kinds of things happens much further out in greenfield spaces, which of course increases the congestion increases and the transportation. And I mean, there's something almost comical about hauling stuff around when we don't know where they should go yet. [00:16:00] But there's an awful lot of that that happens. So there's still a lot of potential to improve the efficiency of the supply chain. Speaker 3: Okay. Would this experience that you've had doing some research and then getting involved a little bit in the public policy side of it, is that something that you could see yourself doing more of? Speaker 4: Well, I guess it is that I was asked by a government agency that the Metropolitan Planning Office for Southern California is, is, [00:16:30] is as the acronym Skag s c a g southern California Association of governments. And they asked me to, to look at the problem and I, and I was happy to do so. I think in one sense it's, it's nice to make a contribution to public policy so that we can have a more informed public management just like it is to help private companies do that. But on the other hand, a political process is pretty messy, pretty frustrating at [00:17:00] times is that usually things are a little more sane inside a company, but it's important and I'm Speaker 2: glad to do it. You are listening to spectrum on k l x Berkeley. Our guest is professor Robert Leachman, the industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. We are talking about analyzing supply chains and global trade Speaker 3: to sort of address the idea that [00:17:30] all these efficiencies and productivity gains take jobs out of the economy. Is there some swing back where there are jobs that are created by all these changes? Speaker 7: Yes. Speaker 4: Well, let me divide this into two pieces. First, with regard IOR type work, where we're developing systems to manage supply chains or industries better is that I've been doing this kind of thing [00:18:00] since about 1980 in industrial projects in the U S and abroad. Uh, and I don't ever remember a single project where what we did resulted in a decline in employment. And in fact a lot of those were companies and crises. And if we hadn't been successful, I think a lot of people would have been put out of work. And every one of those projects created new engineering, managerial jobs to manage the information technology that was being used to run the system [00:18:30] better. So kind of on a micro scale of doing projects, it's not my experience that IUR type work reduces in employment. And when I think about the larger scale of all the offshoring of manufacturing from the U S to Asia, the companies doing this are more profitable and the costs of the consumers are much less. Speaker 4: And if you look at the gross national product and the like, these numbers are pretty good and the average [00:19:00] income of Americans is very high compared to the rest of the world. But the distribution to that income bothers me a lot. Increasingly, we're a society of a small number of very wealthy people and a lot of people who were much worse off. And in the era when we manufactured everything that provided a huge amount of middle-class type jobs and we don't have that anymore. We have low paying service jobs and we have a lot of well paying [00:19:30] engineering and management jobs. And that concerns me. I think all the protests we start to see going on even today here on campus, uh, illustrate that. Speaker 3: How do you see the outsourcing of manufactured goods to low wage regions? And supply chain efficiencies playing out over time? Speaker 4: Well, certainly the, the innovations in supply chain management have enabled it, but you know the difference in in salaries between [00:20:00] this part of the world and there has always been there and that wasn't something that was created right and it's not going to go away immediately. Take some time. I think there's, there's little question that Asian goods will cost more. The Asian currencies have been artificially low for a long time, but they are starting to move up as energy gets more deer, transportation costs go up. Our interest rates have been artificially [00:20:30] low since the recession and before. I don't think those low interest rates will last forever and when they go up then inventory gets more expensive and so those supply chains all the way down to Asia will get more expensive. I think we've done a lot of brilliant engineering and other technology improvements that have lowered costs a lot, but I think those costs are going to go up and as they do, then the answer for the [00:21:00] best supply chains is going to bring some stuff back to America. And that's already happening first. The very bulky stuff like furniture and it left North Carolina, but now much of it is come back and I think you'll, you'll see that the, the most expensive items to ship around will be the first to change. Nowadays the big importers have very sophisticated departments studying their supply chains and I truly [00:21:30] believe that they could save a penny per cubic foot of imports. They will change everything to do it Speaker 4: and so things can change very fast. Following the economics Speaker 3: and I understand you're a musician, can you give us some insight into your, a avocation with music? Speaker 4: Well, I'm a jazz pianist. I had come up through classical piano training but then at middle school, high school age, moved to the bay area and [00:22:00] there was lots of jazz happening here and I was excited by that and I actually learned to play jazz on the string bass first. But I had a piano in my room and the dorm I lived at here at Berkeley. And so I was playing a lot and listening to records of people I really enjoyed. And there was lots of jazz happening here and other musicians and we learn from each other and you grow your vocabulary over time and I was gone a couple of years between, Speaker 5: yeah, Speaker 4: Undergrad and Grad school working in industry, but [00:22:30] when I came back here to Grad school then I was playing bars in north beach and the like, but at a certain point you have to decide whether you're going to be a day animal or a night animal. You don't have the hours to do both, but art is very important to me and lyrical jazz piano is very important to me. It's, it's a way to do expression and creativity that I don't think I've found another medium that can match it. Speaker 3: Professor Leishman, thanks very much for coming on spectrum. My pleasure. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: [00:23:00] irregular feature of spectrum is to present the calendar of the science and technology related events happening in the bay area over the next two weeks.

Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: [00:27:30] now new stories with Rick Karnofsky Speaker 8: science news reports on research by UC San Diego, experimental psychologist David Brang and vs Ramachandran published in the November 22nd issue of plus biology on the genetic origins of synesthesia. The sense mixing condition where people taste colors or see smells that affects only about 3% of the population, half of those with the condition report that family members also [00:28:00] have the condition, but parents and children will often exhibit it differently. Baylor College of Medicine neuroscientist, David Eagleman published in September 30th issue of behavioral brain research that a region on chromosome 16 is responsible for a form of synesthesia where letters and numbers are associated with a color Brang hypothesizes that the gene may help prune connections in the brain and that soon as synesthesiac yaks may suffer a genetic defect that prevents removing some links. [00:28:30] An alternate hypothesis is that synesthesia is caused by neurochemical imbalance. This may explain why the condition intensifies with extreme tiredness or with drug use. Bring in colleagues believe that it is actually a combination of these two that lead to synesthesia.

And also the impact of changes in government policy such as fees on the imports or improving the infrastructure [00:10:30] with uh, expanded ports or rail lines or uh, highways and the like. This is kind of a long, large effort to where we've been able to replicate inside the computer the whole trade going on and then inform both policy analysis for the governments and for the importers themselves. Speaker 3: California in particular, it's a real destination for the Asian supply chain. Are there peculiarities about California that you could tell us about? Speaker 4: [00:11:00] Well, close to half of all the waterborne containerized imports from Asia to the u s enter through the California ports. A few include Long Beach Los Angeles in Oakland and there are very good economic reasons why this happens and this has to do primarily with managing the inventory and supply chains. If you think about the alternatives of at the factory door in Asia, we can decide how much is going to go [00:11:30] to various regions of the United States before we book passage on the vessels. Then considering the lead time, you need to book a vessel at least two weeks in advance. And considering the answer it needs and so forth is that you're committing how much is going to go where one to two months before it gets there. Whereas if you simply ship the stuff to California and then after it gets here, now reassess the situation based on how much arrived in California [00:12:00] and what is the updated need in the supply chain in the various regions in the u s then you can make a much more informed allocation, a match the supply to demand much better and you'll reduce the inventory in the system and you'll decrease the time until goods are sold and people will be able to get their goods earlier. Speaker 4: The big nationwide retailers we have in the U S and also the nationwide, uh, original equipment manufacturers that resell the good once they're here in [00:12:30] the u s practice, these kind of supply chains. And so they bring the stuff to California and then reship. So that means that a, we have a critical role in supply chains and more comes here then goes elsewhere. If you were to think about doing what we do at, say, the port of Seattle or, or through the canal to the Gulf or east coast, then you would have to ship into that southern California market, which is the largest local market in North America. And that would be much more expensive [00:13:00] than if you start there and ship out from there. So you don't have to ship that local market stuff. The downside of that is that there's a huge amount of pollution created with all the truck traffic to bring the boxes from the ports to a cross dock or a warehouse and trans ship the goods, reload them and send them back to a rail yard and so on. Speaker 4: And uh, that creates traffic. It creates pollution, creates concern for the governments and rightly so. Uh, and [00:13:30] so there's been a lot of proposals that maybe there should be some sort of special tax on the containers to pay for infrastructure and to pay for environmental mitigation and the like. So I've done some of the studies of that question from the point of view of the importers of what is the best supply chain for them in response to changing infrastructure or changing fees and taxes, changing prices at the California ports. I'd probably some studies that have [00:14:00] been a highly controversial and got a lot of people excited. I did two scenarios. One where there's just taxes placed on the boxes and there's no improvements in infrastructure. And the answer to that scenario is a pretty significant drop, especially the lower value imports where inventory is not so expensive as simply moved to other ports. Speaker 4: But then I also did a scenario where if there was a major improvement in infrastructure of moving [00:14:30] a cross docks and import warehouses closer to the ports and moving the rail yards closer to the ports to eliminate the truck trips and alike, uh, that even as high as $200 a box, this would be a value proposition to the importers of the moderate and expensive imports as they would make California even more attractive than it is now. And so that got picked up by one camp saying, see we can tax them and they will stay and pay. Uh, but they didn't [00:15:00] quite read the fine print in the sense that no, you have to build the infrastructure first and then you can use that money to retire the bonds. But if you tax them first without the infrastructure in place, they will leave. The bill passed the California legislature. Speaker 4: But, uh, fortunately governor Schwartzenegger staff contacted me and talked about it and I think they got the story straight and the governor vetoed the bill. But the challenge remains is that I find it intriguing that generally [00:15:30] the communities near the ports are, are generally hostile to a logistics activities. They don't want warehouses, they don't want truck traffic, they don't want rail yards. Uh, and this tends to mean the development of those kinds of things happens much further out in greenfield spaces, which of course increases the congestion increases and the transportation. And I mean, there's something almost comical about hauling stuff around when we don't know where they should go yet. [00:16:00] But there's an awful lot of that that happens. So there's still a lot of potential to improve the efficiency of the supply chain. Speaker 3: Okay. Would this experience that you've had doing some research and then getting involved a little bit in the public policy side of it, is that something that you could see yourself doing more of? Speaker 4: Well, I guess it is that I was asked by a government agency that the Metropolitan Planning Office for Southern California is, is, [00:16:30] is as the acronym Skag s c a g southern California Association of governments. And they asked me to, to look at the problem and I, and I was happy to do so. I think in one sense it's, it's nice to make a contribution to public policy so that we can have a more informed public management just like it is to help private companies do that. But on the other hand, a political process is pretty messy, pretty frustrating at [00:17:00] times is that usually things are a little more sane inside a company, but it's important and I'm Speaker 2: glad to do it. You are listening to spectrum on k l x Berkeley. Our guest is professor Robert Leachman, the industrial engineering and operations research department at UC Berkeley. We are talking about analyzing supply chains and global trade Speaker 3: to sort of address the idea that [00:17:30] all these efficiencies and productivity gains take jobs out of the economy. Is there some swing back where there are jobs that are created by all these changes? Speaker 7: Yes. Speaker 4: Well, let me divide this into two pieces. First, with regard IOR type work, where we're developing systems to manage supply chains or industries better is that I've been doing this kind of thing [00:18:00] since about 1980 in industrial projects in the U S and abroad. Uh, and I don't ever remember a single project where what we did resulted in a decline in employment. And in fact a lot of those were companies and crises. And if we hadn't been successful, I think a lot of people would have been put out of work. And every one of those projects created new engineering, managerial jobs to manage the information technology that was being used to run the system [00:18:30] better. So kind of on a micro scale of doing projects, it's not my experience that IUR type work reduces in employment. And when I think about the larger scale of all the offshoring of manufacturing from the U S to Asia, the companies doing this are more profitable and the costs of the consumers are much less. Speaker 4: And if you look at the gross national product and the like, these numbers are pretty good and the average [00:19:00] income of Americans is very high compared to the rest of the world. But the distribution to that income bothers me a lot. Increasingly, we're a society of a small number of very wealthy people and a lot of people who were much worse off. And in the era when we manufactured everything that provided a huge amount of middle-class type jobs and we don't have that anymore. We have low paying service jobs and we have a lot of well paying [00:19:30] engineering and management jobs. And that concerns me. I think all the protests we start to see going on even today here on campus, uh, illustrate that. Speaker 3: How do you see the outsourcing of manufactured goods to low wage regions? And supply chain efficiencies playing out over time? Speaker 4: Well, certainly the, the innovations in supply chain management have enabled it, but you know the difference in in salaries between [00:20:00] this part of the world and there has always been there and that wasn't something that was created right and it's not going to go away immediately. Take some time. I think there's, there's little question that Asian goods will cost more. The Asian currencies have been artificially low for a long time, but they are starting to move up as energy gets more deer, transportation costs go up. Our interest rates have been artificially [00:20:30] low since the recession and before. I don't think those low interest rates will last forever and when they go up then inventory gets more expensive and so those supply chains all the way down to Asia will get more expensive. I think we've done a lot of brilliant engineering and other technology improvements that have lowered costs a lot, but I think those costs are going to go up and as they do, then the answer for the [00:21:00] best supply chains is going to bring some stuff back to America. And that's already happening first. The very bulky stuff like furniture and it left North Carolina, but now much of it is come back and I think you'll, you'll see that the, the most expensive items to ship around will be the first to change. Nowadays the big importers have very sophisticated departments studying their supply chains and I truly [00:21:30] believe that they could save a penny per cubic foot of imports. They will change everything to do it Speaker 4: and so things can change very fast. Following the economics Speaker 3: and I understand you're a musician, can you give us some insight into your, a avocation with music? Speaker 4: Well, I'm a jazz pianist. I had come up through classical piano training but then at middle school, high school age, moved to the bay area and [00:22:00] there was lots of jazz happening here and I was excited by that and I actually learned to play jazz on the string bass first. But I had a piano in my room and the dorm I lived at here at Berkeley. And so I was playing a lot and listening to records of people I really enjoyed. And there was lots of jazz happening here and other musicians and we learn from each other and you grow your vocabulary over time and I was gone a couple of years between, Speaker 5: yeah, Speaker 4: Undergrad and Grad school working in industry, but [00:22:30] when I came back here to Grad school then I was playing bars in north beach and the like, but at a certain point you have to decide whether you're going to be a day animal or a night animal. You don't have the hours to do both, but art is very important to me and lyrical jazz piano is very important to me. It's, it's a way to do expression and creativity that I don't think I've found another medium that can match it. Speaker 3: Professor Leishman, thanks very much for coming on spectrum. My pleasure. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: [00:23:00] irregular feature of spectrum is to present the calendar of the science and technology related events happening in the bay area over the next two weeks. Brad Swift joins me for this. Speaker 3: Get up close to a hundreds of wild mushrooms at the 42nd annual fungus [00:23:30] fair being held this year at the Lawrence Hall of science in Berkeley. Eat edible mushrooms, meet vendors and watch culinary demonstrations by mushroom chefs. Get the dirt on poisonous mushrooms and checkout other wild funky from the medicinal to the really, really strange mushroom experts will be on hand to answer all your questions and to identify unknown specimens brought in by the visitors. My cologists will present slideshows and talk about foraging for mushrooms. [00:24:00] Find out how different mushrooms can be used for treating diseases, dyeing cloth or paper and flavoring foods.

NASA's Margarita Marinova will share how the dry valleys event Arctica are an analog for Mars. These are the coldest and dry rocky place with no plants or animals and site. Studying these dry valleys allows us to understand how the polar regions on earth work, what the limits of life are, and to apply these ideas to the cold and dry environment of Mars. Finally, San Francisco Art Institutes, [00:27:00] Peter Foucault will present on systems and interactivity in drawing where drawings are constructed through mark making systems and how audience participation can influence the outcome of a final composition. Focusing on an interactive robotic trying installation. For more information on this free event, visit leonardo.info. Speaker 2: [inaudible]Speaker 6: [00:27:30] now new stories with Rick Karnofsky Speaker 8: science news reports on research by UC San Diego, experimental psychologist David Brang and vs Ramachandran published in the November 22nd issue of plus biology on the genetic origins of synesthesia. The sense mixing condition where people taste colors or see smells that affects only about 3% of the population, half of those with the condition report that family members also [00:28:00] have the condition, but parents and children will often exhibit it differently. Baylor College of Medicine neuroscientist, David Eagleman published in September 30th issue of behavioral brain research that a region on chromosome 16 is responsible for a form of synesthesia where letters and numbers are associated with a color Brang hypothesizes that the gene may help prune connections in the brain and that soon as synesthesiac yaks may suffer a genetic defect that prevents removing some links. [00:28:30] An alternate hypothesis is that synesthesia is caused by neurochemical imbalance. This may explain why the condition intensifies with extreme tiredness or with drug use. Bring in colleagues believe that it is actually a combination of these two that lead to synesthesia.

Listen to it with your favorite adult beverage in hand. And enjoy the first episode of Spring 2011!
This message was delivered by Chaplain Jerry Leachman on 10/13/2010 in the topic of evaluating your life and ministry.
Betty White may be getting all the headlines these days as America's elder stateswoman of comedy, but has she ever played Vegas? Another randy grandma, Cloris Leachman, hasn't either, but at 84 she makes her debut on Sept. 18 and 19 at the Suncoast. The Academy Award winner, who has also won more Emmys than any actor ever, spoke to Steve at length in advance of that one-woman show and brace yourself because some of this is almost as sexually explicit as that Tony Curtis chat we gave you a while back. There are many highlights, including Cloris sharing her experiences with Marlon Brando, Jackie Kennedy, Judy Garland, the Reagans and Kathryn Hepburn, although an instant classic is Cloris' hilarious re-enactment of a call from Joan Collins, who was having an affair with Cloris' husband George Englund in the 1970s. Leachman also discusses her new Fox sitcom, "Raising Hope."In Banter: Liberace's closure raises tough questions, Oscar Goodman faces wacky questions, the NY-NY's 9/11 Memorial is in questionable shape and more.Web: TheStripPodcast.ComEmail: TheStripPodcast@aol.comVoicemail: 702-997-3300Blog: VegasHappensHere.ComTwitter: @TheStripPodcast
