What do you do when you start feeling overwhelmed and anxious? What if there was a quick way to reassure yourself and start feeling better instantly!?!I saw this on Mel Robbins IG and has changed my anxiety and my first response when I am feeling overwhelmed and overstimulated.She said, "If you woke up feeling anxious or overwhelmed this morning, put your hand on your heart, close your eyes and repeat: I'm okay. I'm safe. I'm loved."I'm not kidding when I say this INSTANTLY brings my anxiety level down.And it works on your kids too! When my son was extremely upset and I hugged him put my hand on his heart and said, "You're okay. You're safe. You're loved."These are words we all need to hear. www.allyoumama.comIG -@MeghanQBarrett

Asketic co-Founder Miķelis Baštiks talking with Inese Ozola from "Amoralle" and "Amoralle Level Up" about how to build and work with the audience and how to create new ways of building business by listening to your audience.M: Speaking of fundamental values, which we discussed while creating the website. You have identified them, but how do they impact the practical side of things? Secondly, we once touched upon this in our Instagram conversation, how you didn't create Level Up out of thin air, but instead created something for your existing audience or community that's completely different from your core business, which is to sew clothing. When you had SockBox, you probably never imagined you would have digital products, masterclasses, but when you understand your person, you can make anything for them, gather help for Ukraine, film videos and sew clothing. Those are different activities, but they are for the same person. I find it very interesting – building around the audience, because 9 out of 10 times it's the other way around. Someone decides to make or sell something and then looks for people who need it. You're the rare case, where you already had an audience and then you keep expanding it.I: If someone first decides to become a fashion designer, and there are a lot of people who feel such drive in them, and then this person very purposefully works toward what they believe in, then eventually they will find their audience. In these cases, the authenticity of such people is always totally clear, you know they are looking straight ahead towards their goal, it's their opinion. You may like it, so you follow that, or you may not like it – so you don't. The downside is that this usually is a very firm, inflexible, very straight path. While the other story, which is my story, is a relationship with the brand or with your dream.M: The difference is that in the first case the brand is created around the personality, but in the second case – around the audience. Seth Godin, a grand-master of marketing, has compared business creation to a dance – you called it a relationship – where you constantly do your best to not step on each other's foot and understand where you are going next, and that's the other path.I: I actually think that today's brands are about this relationship.M: As much as I was able to witness your team in action, it felt very good, and also, I could sense a system underneath. There was no bureaucracy, which was nice to observe. Have you intentionally applied that or is there a structure, the invisible carcass?I: You can't teach that, you can create that, it's a living organism, and it works because everyone is in their place. One of our unwritten rules is that every person who exits our premises, whether it's a cooperation partner, client or delivery person, has to feel happier than when they entered. To sell something at the store is not as important as making the lady happy as she leaves.M: That's one of the cornerstones of the brand, and then you seek how you can achieve that with music, interior design, relationships, specific staff dress code. And these are the small points of contact, which together create the sense of the brand or associations with Amoralle.I: Of course, I'm glad to hear praise, thank you for that, but I find critique to be of the highest value. That allows me to analyse the situation, and any critique is always followed by a small adjustment to the system going forward. For example, an individual order – a lady wants to make a dress. We have agreed on the design, the price, but something goes wrong, there's a lack of satisfaction. I dissect this whole situation, and going forward we introduce a payment of deposit with the order. If we don't pay the first instalment or pay before the service, then we don't feel involved in the process. Whereas, after we pay the first instalment we feel as a partner in the process towards the common goal. Also, a clear understanding of what each element costs and why. We get this question quite often. Why does this silk peignoir costs 1000 euros?M: How do you explain this value in practice? Do you explain during the meeting, is it explained on video or at the website? In your experience, what is the best way to convey the value of this end-product or piece of art?I: To date, a detailed video story has worked the best, where you see the beginning, the fabric being sewn by people and then the product, which is now on the catwalk at a fashion show. Then an unwritten rule is to have a sample, namely, the bicycle has been invented and you need to see what are the people, who already have reached the destination of our path, doing now.M: Okay, in every aspect of your operation?I: Yes, name it, in every aspect there's a sample, because when you see it visually, you understand what resonates with you and what is it you would like to change to convey the message to your clients. The sample has allowed me to save a lot of money and time. I've learned it over time in cases of failure, and by analysing them I realise that from now on we shall implement a sample. Failures are the ones that help you take bigger steps toward your goal; they help you save money and time in the future.M: How do you find the balance between being present with your team, doing all these things that you mentioned, and stepping away from all that quite a lot, letting the team work remotely or independently?I: I'm present as much as I can, I trust my colleagues and that's the only way I want to work. I pay a lot of attention to having the strongest, sharpest, most powerful and efficient colleagues on the team.M: How does it work in practice with there being multiple locations? Are you some days in one place and some days in other? Or do you all meet up or have a conference call or you work individually? How does that happen in reality?I: I spend a certain time in each place, but I do spend more time where the toughest stage is being tackled. For example, during the creation of Level Up, I spent more time at Level Up.M: How did you realise that during the Covid pandemic you could create a new business branch, which is Amoralle Level Up and has no direct relation to clothing, but is more like a community for women who relate to this brand, but you offer completely different products, namely, online masterclasses, digital products, various events on your premises?I: In this field of information and specialists, to be able to select the best, the most powerful ones and to transfer this knowledge to your clients, to be together with them and together realise how we as a brand can help them. And we can help, because we are the ones who created this femininity brand cult in Latvia. If you had to name a Latvian femininity brand, you would definitely mention Amoralle. That's what we created, this story of lace, the victory walks of lace. We have been the pioneers. It makes us responsible to these women to give them what they need today. And one day, if I as the director or we as the brand feel that they need a new direction, I will follow it.M: What you did in respect of Ukraine, when you momentarily, in a few days' time created a new centre, where you could bring the necessary things and supplies to help, it was not just an Instagram post of support, but a practical platform, which allowed the people who relate to your brand to get involved and help out.I: This story has more to it. When the war in Ukraine began, when Russia invaded Ukraine, we were having the pre-launch campaign for our new collection, we had planned to start selling the new collection. We had invested money in the collection and the marketing campaign, ads etc. At that moment it was clear to us that our women, the ones who love the brand Amoralle – none of them would want such dress, nobody would want to see it. That's not possible. We stopped everything instantly, and together with them we dived into helping as one big team.M: Once my friend told me that he had went into this shop on Brivibas Street called SockBox to buy socks for his girlfriend and that's the first time I heard of it. Later you became what you are now. How did it even begin? How did you get the idea to create something like this?I: I created the shop after my son had just been born, it was opened when he turned 9 months old. I basically created it at home with the computer, while feeding the baby. The initial idea was to offer socks from various manufacturers to women and men. Less than a year later I was working at the shop daily. I was the cleaner, the accountant, the director, I was everything. While working there every day, I realised that no one is producing the things that women would like to buy. I even went to China to see if somebody there produces what I think they would want to buy. Then my mom mentioned that we could sew it ourselves. She knows how to sew, but she had just joined sewing courses to improve her skills. I said “okay” and so we bought a sewing machine and hired Natālija who still works with us.M: The rebranding stage when SockBox became Amoralle. Why did that happen and how do you feel about that now?I: I wanted to create a fashion sock brand. In order to have a fashion sock brand you have to participate in a fashion show. When I got the permission to join a fashion show, only then I realised that you can't send a naked model with only socks on. That's how the first bodies were created. To create a “wow” moment for the final look, we made a flowy cape. That's how we started producing silk peignoirs. I can clearly remember the first client who bought a silk peignoir for 700 euros in the small SockBox shop. I almost fainted from happiness. That inspired me more and more. It still was called SockBox, we made silk peignoirs, sold them. We were contacted by a gentleman of Arab descent, who wanted us to open a shop in the Middle East. And we needed a name. At that time, we were already selling in the Middle East, and my clients were saying that it's pretty hard to make a connection between the name SockBox and silk peignoirs with this branding. When thinking about export, I realised that it's a problem and that we need a rebranding, and I made this decision, since the brand was still small enough to make a quick rebranding without much hassle.M: Does this name resonate with people in Saudi Arabia? People there are even more traditional than here.I: People are very traditional, you can't show any photo with a body. You can only show the clothes with no body. There are certain market conditions. But the risqué, sensual clothing itself, they like it very much. It's not much spoken about, and it must be marketed in other visual ways.M: There can be no photos of people?I: No, you can't show such clothing on people in Saudi Arabia. When a woman goes shopping in this kind of shop, there have to be at least two shop-assistants present in the room; you can't be alone. The woman doesn't speak, she indicates with her eyes what she has chosen, and she never pays for it. She makes a choice and then her husband, brother or father comes in to pay.M: In one of our conversations you mentioned that the brand essence is “beautiful at home”.I: Yes.M: I really liked what you said. It provided even more clarity about what this brand is and who it's meant for, as well as the situation and context this product is to be used in.I: The sense of self, relationship with yourself begins at home. It mostly happens when no one is around, during your “me time”. The dialogue with yourself. Clothing is a source of inspiration for me. I put on beautiful loungewear when no one is around and that's when magic happens. That's the beginning in my experience. In the shop, also in exhibitions in Paris or New York, I often hear “I don't have a home that's adequate for wearing this kind of clothing”. I think it's an open discussion. What comes first? Beautiful clothes and then a beautiful home? Or a beautiful home first and then beautiful clothing? I will tell you how it happened. We have these silk slips. They're like dresses and look amazing when combined with your beloved one's suit jacket. I once went out like that, and he said “You wore that at home. Isn't it a nightdress?”. I replied “Yes, but it's very comfortable and looks really great”. It also makes you feel a bit mysterious. You feel very free, you do what makes you comfortable. That's a brand value. Value of a women's brand. We only have female employees, by the way. And I want them to do things only in a way that's comfortable for them. When a woman is inspired, everything happens swiftly. You must have noticed it in your wife too. She sometimes ticks off every task swiftly and easily. But sometimes things are dragging.M: Yeah.I: If we talk about the Amoralle story of 14 years, I vividly remember one turning point. I was traveling back from exhibition in New York. We did very well and I was thinking about what to do next. There's this book “The ONE Thing”. It talks about how important it is in business and in life to choose one thing and focus on it. Then your day will consist of anything that moves you closer to this one thing. There's this whole method for finding this one thing. I tried to apply it to Amoralle, and I realised that we were thinking about wholesale trade at that time, we were thinking about the development of local market, also we were considering expansion of production. We were spending our time focusing on various things. After I completed all of the tasks, I concluded that there is one essential thing, which still remains my one thing, which I do in order to expand the brand. And that's online. It's very essential, valuable and necessary for any business to understand internally that the tomorrow is only online. In the online realm you converse with your client in a completely different way. If you want to develop your business online, you have to think completely differently.M: Just like with the brand essence you mentioned, “beautiful at home”. It's one essence that is difficult to catch, but when you find it, it helps arrange everything else around it. The same goes for online. You're doing specific physical things, which is your shop in Riga, but it has to serve for this one thing.I: Nowadays physical shopping is on the downturn, but it still is necessary. We want this experience of being present, we want to feel the authenticity. But I believe that the whole tomorrow will be online. And being online, letters play an enormous role. The proportion. You see the message differently, if the letter is too large or too small, or written differently.M: That's the digital interior design.

Apparently, the good Lord knew I needed to disappear for a bit and stop working and he also knew that I wouldn't just pick up myself and disappear for a few works. So he sent Covid for me to ensure that I took a much-needed vacation from the interwebs lol. Folks, I have been gone for a few weeks because I ended up getting Covid and it kicked my ass for 10+ days. I am however on the mend, at the time of making this episode I'd safely say that I am at about 80% and thankfully no hospitalization was needed. I just wanted to talk a little about my experience and dive into why you haven't seen me since the beginning of the month. I encourage everybody to continue doing their due diligence, sanitize, build your immune systems and keep safe during these Covid times.  Don't forget to visit KeronRose.com to learn more about building your digital presence and monetizing your platforms and also subscribe to the Digipreneur.FM website to stay up to date on all future episodes.

I've gained some weight lately, and for the first time in my life, I'm okay with it. For years, I correlated weight gain with failure. Weight gain with shame. Weight gain with 'letting myself go.' But over the years and through my recovery, I learned that my worth isn't defined by my weight. More on this in today's episode

Hello everybody I got a direct message from Rare Todd who was worried about me after listening to the most recent episode of Lulu Island. I thought I would take the opportunity of having a cool morning and a more chill than usual bird to make a quick episode to tell you I’m doing okay.

Coming out of 2020 and setting goals, or having a vision for 2021 has been a unique process. Something that I've really embraced for the last two years or so of my life (especially being a foreigner in the US) has been the process of FIGURING THINGS OUT and being OKAY WITH IT. Today I talk about what figuring things out means for me and what it's looked like with God; that's today's theme. Enjoy!I also share 2 poems:FIGURING IT OUT by Love In MillenniaHOW? by Luci ShawIf you would like to hear more from me after listening to the podcast then go to Love In Millennia on youtube; I answer these questions:What have I figured out about setting goals?What am i learning about setting goals?What is my ultimate 2021 goal?On my podcast everyone is welcome but I thought I would let you know that my discussions are all from a faith based perspective. Jesus is the author and finisher of my faith and all my poems, podcast episodes and Youtube videos are rooted in the foundation of faith in Christ. I love sharing my poetry and life experiences with you and I hope we can grow fruitfully together in this journey of life.Thanks for listening! If you'd like more content from me...watch my youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPK9oqGtGgnJDi7_lAuxUiQFollow me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/loveinmillennia/

In this episode, Amber and Tina talk about the steps they took to get out of their toxic relationships. From planning, to find support, to taking a leap of faith they did what they had to do to start fresh. They also talk about recommendations from psychologist Dr. Kelly Campbell (https://www.mydomaine.com/how-to-leave-a-toxic-relationship by Kelly Dawson). This episode is a little longer than the others, but we promise it's juicy and intriguing all the way through. Trigger warning - this episode does include personal recollection of domestic abuse.

Self-confidence, self-esteem, self-love...these are all REALLY loaded terms. There’s an expectation that we unabashedly love ourselves, but is that actually even possible? Listen as licensed therapists Rachel and Jor-El weigh in on these ideas and share some personal stories of self-acceptance too. Join the conversation with us on Instagram and Twitter @vivawellnessnyc and feel free to leave a rating and review on iTunes and Spotify. Take care!

TSN director of scouting Craig Button says that he has no problem with an NHL player refusing to return to play if the player is concerned about their health, or has an underlying health condition.

Hope all is safe and well this is more of a rambling opinionated lady that was a little down and out of the world for a particular reason... so please don’t find offense in what I say. While I agree with what I’m saying I’m not trying to offend anyone. I have mentally been alone for a while for a reason and it was because I wanted to sound decisive in my thoughts and I still do. This is a journal entry of personal thoughts that can be paused and removed from your library. Hope you enjoy those of you that do listen.

Hey everybody. Welcome to a very special Five Heart Podcast. It’s the episode where we don’t swear, and if we do, I very carefully cover it up with censorship. We understand that you may be traveling with your family to a Thanksgiving gathering. (Also, Happy Thanksgiving!) So wanted to keep this as clean as we could so you could enjoy it before tomorrow’s game. So we beat Maryland, soundly. A great time was had by all. And now it’s on to Iowa, and Jon believes (rightly so) that Iowa has settled for a lifetime of mediocrity. And as long as there’s a Ferentz in Iowa City, Greg agrees. Be sure to “Use Your Voice” and became a part of the show by calling (402) 327-1830. Or Facebook and Twitter, which are below.

Episode Notes DTMYM Ep. 1 Transcript Malena: Hey guys, my name is Malena.Allison: I’m Allison.Hannah: My name’s Hannah.M: And we are your hosts and freshmen here at Northwestern. This is Don’t Tell Me Your Major, an interview podcast where we avoid getting to know people on the surface level, with questions like what their major is, where they’re from, and how old they are, but try to get to know them on a more profound level. That’s how you really know the kind of person someone is rather than judging them on pre-established stereotypes. Today it’s just us, the co-hosts, so you guys can get to know us a little more before we start talking to others! And, um, just an update, all of us have the freshman plague.A: Sorry, I’m hacking my lungs out. M: Yeah, so if you hear us coughing, that’s why. But the first order of business – the first question I’m going to ask is: If you had to get a tattoo right now, what would it be? Allison, you’re up first.A: Okay, I’ve actually planned this for a really long time. My 18th birthday is coming up, and I’m going to get a little music note, like an eighth note, tattooed on the inside of my middle finger in white ink so that my parents don’t see it. So don’t tell my mom, ‘cause I’m not allowed to have a tattoo, because I’m going to get disowned. But, yeah I’ve been planning on getting that for a long time.H: The ones on the inside of your fingers –A: They’re so pretty.H: They rub off though.A: I know, that’s the point, like –H: Oh! You’re not going to show it to anyone.A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just in case my mom ever catches me, like, in a couple years it’ll be faded so it won’t be a big deal. H: So I wanted to get a matching tattoo with my sister, but I’m scared, because whenever we fight, I’d be like “f**k you!” but then you have them tattooed on your body.M: I love that, I love that. Ok, so mine is like, I wanted to get this tattoo that’s like a circle but like it isn’t closed. So it’s a circle that almost closes but doesn’t –A: That’s so unsatisfactory.M: No, I know, but the whole point is–A: I wouldn’t want that! M: The whole point is that like, there’s this quote I like that says, “some things don’t come full circle.” And it’s just getting used to things not going your way. H: That’s much deeper than ours. A: I was about to say that! I was like, “I want a music note.” And she was like, “some things, they just don’t come full circle.”M: Ok, ok.A: We’re the bad co-hosts right here.M: Oh my gosh. No, ok so, my next question is, what is your favorite thing about yourself? Do you guys know, off the top of your head?A: Nose goes! M: Nose goes?A: Alright Hannah you’re up.H: Ummm, hair, it’s flowy and long.M: Is it like, annoying to blow out though?H: Yeah, yeah, so annoying.A: You know she never blow dries her hair?M: Really? Oh, we have an audience member, just so you guys know. A: Yeah, my roommate. She just lives with wet hair. I don’t know how she does it.M: I never blow dry my hair either. But it’s because mine is like, shoulder length, so it’s not a big deal. A: Oh it is?M: Yeah.A: I thought it was long. M: No it’s not that long. But anyways I think my favorite thing about myself is... I like my eyebrows. A: You do have nice eyebrows.M: They’re a lot of work, but I never have to fill them in. Like I feel so bad for people who have to fill in their eyebrows.H: Okay, okay! Fine. A: Your eyebrows are fine too, what do you mean?M: Okay, what about you Allison?A: My favorite thing...I guess is that I’m not an awkward person, so like it has saved me from many a potentially awkward situation. Y’know? So yeah, I feel like I’m pretty chill.M: Yeah, that’s fair. I love that I said my eyebrows. Like my personality sucks, like it just sucks. A: Jesussss. M: No. Ok. What can you not live without? Like what is the one thing you can’t live without? And it can be basic.A: Does it have to be a material object?M: Do maybe one material object and one non-material object.A: (under breath) Are my boobs showing?H: Nobody can see them!M: This is a podcast, Allison. A: I meant to you! But ok. Material – WAIT why am I always going first, you go!M: Ok, ok. H: I don’t know. I wanted to say something funny, but I don’t want to say something stupid like oxygen, water. Censor BeepM: Hannah! You can’t say that word! Oh my gosh. A: Beep.M: We’re gonna have to censor that. A: Sorry guys, we’re not American. M: Yeah so, some context is, the reason why we all know each other is we’re all international kids. A: Ok shut up Malena, you’re American. Hannah and I are not. Please forgive us if we say something un-PC.M: Okay so one thing I couldn’t live without is kind of like, my international friends. That’s one of my deeper answers –A: (sarcastically) I don’t feel the same way.M: (sarcastically) She could just get rid of us. (continued from before) ...Because I like having a wide worldview. Like a worldview where I could know people from all around the world and get their perspectives. And they all have such different lifestyles that it’s so much fun to hang out with them because there’s always something new to do and always good new food to eat. What about you guys?A: What’s your material thing?M: Uh, probably my phone.A: Yeah.M: I’m pretty addicted to Snapchat. H: Yeah, it’s true, phone. A: Ok, I’m going to think of something less shallow than that. So what’s your other thing?H: Yeah, I couldn’t live without friends. That would just suck.A: Oh really, would it now?M: Nah, I always wanted to become a hermit. That was my thing. Just be a hermit. A: Um, I would say I can’t live without music. I’m constantly listening to music, my airpods always run out of battery. Umm... I’m trying to think of a material thing. Like, I don’t know.M: Well, can I just say... Can we have a quick tangent? Airpods are like the biggest scam. Like the fact that the headphone jack is the same as your charging jack on your Apple phone, and then you can’t plug them into your laptop. And then you have to charge your airpods, and they’re like 100 dollars…A: Well that’s not –H: Yeah, no I agree.A: You don’t have to connect your Airpods to your computer. It’s bluetooth.M: Yeah I know but they’re always running out of battery and they cost like 200 dollars.A: The battery lasts like five hours how long are you listening to music??H: When you’re on the plane, if you’re like a long long plane ride…A: Oh! When I’m on the plane I use like the ones with the wires, but Airpods for the casual walking around the streets. H: I dislike them. So this is a funny story, but I had Airpods for a while, and I didn’t actually buy them. I FOUND them. A: YOU FOUND THEM?H: I found them.M: Oh no, you’re THAT person. H: So my mom found them, on the beach. Somewhere…A: Ok well you know what, they probably weren’t going to come back for them anyways. You might as well have kept them. H: And we were trying to ask around people, if they were theirs, because we had some friends there. Couldn’t find them. So we just kept them, disinfected them, and my mom was like –A: Disinfected them???M: Just have random people’s –H: I’m not going to have their ears in my ears!A: Your ears in their ears?H: And, long story short, I realized I don’t like airpods. Prefer the headphones.M: The Ancients.A: I like to put my phone in my back pocket when I’m walking, and to have that cord – it like rips out of my ears if I move the wrong direction and I get so f**cking frustrated, so [Airpods] are nice to have.H: I also heard this thing about airpods giving you cancer or whatever.A: Yeah dude, everything gives you cancer.M: Dude, just live in a bubble.A: Yeah, like bacon, everything gives you cancer.M: Ok. Speaking of, we’ve been eating cheerios in the background if you guys are hearing chewing noises. I don’t know how great this mic is but maybe you’re hearing chewing noises right now –A: Hannah just dropped a hairball on my lap.M: OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS. A: Guys this is her most treasured possession, so like –H: Long hair, you just leave a trail of hair everywhere you go.M: Yeah that’s her favorite trait guys: her hairballs.A: Yeah, Sammie and I always have to vacuum our room, because like my hair is everywhere. M: Oh my gosh. Yeah are you guys really excited to listen to other episodes of this podcast now? We’re really great people. But so basically we were eating cheerios on the side and that led me to my next question: what is your favorite snack?A: Myself.H: Cinnamon Toast Crunch.M: Oh my gosh guys. Allison you are hereby banned from this podcast. Her favorite snack is herself. Oh my gosh.H: Actually something weird though, peanut butter and fruit. So, I never liked peanut butter because I wasn’t from the U.S. M: So only Americans can like peanut butter?H: No but it’s a very American thing to like peanut butter.A: Yeah, yeah. Yeah it is.H: So I came to the U.S. and I hated it. Two weeks into being in America, I love it. Love peanut butter.A: Have you ever had like, the Rx bars? H: No.A: Um, ok. M: It’s like a kind of granola bar they call Rx bars. A: But then they make peanut butter and it’s like honey cinnamon flavor and it’s so – you should try it. But my favorite snack is... myself. Well actually, no. I would say, ramen. M: OOOOO. Ramen’s a good snack. A: Yeah, but not like the shy kind that Malena eats, like the fking cup noodle top ramen s*t.M: HEY! That’s good s**t.A: No no no no no. You have to have like shin ramyun.M: That’s good Korean ramen, for those uncultured people out there. Just kidding, I had no idea what it was until like two months ago.H: I had no idea what it was. A: Uncultured.M: I think mine is... I like a solid pretzel crisp and hummus. Um, I mess with that. I also mess with dry Cinnamon Toast Crunch.A: You mess with it?M: You know what.A: You mess with it?M: Ok. It slaps.A: You haven’t had it in a hot minute?M: Um, and then so I like some Cinnamon Toast Crunch.A: Can. M: Some dry Cinnamon Toast Crunch is really good. Oh my gosh they’re making – you guys will get used to my catchphrases eventually. So my last question for this podcast, we’re going to wrap things up, is what makes you feel most empowered? We’re going to wrap it up on a positive note, get everyone empowered on this podcast, our listeners. A: What does empowered mean? Like I know what it means but in what context?M: Mine is my bad b*h playlist. A: In what capacity – oh.M: Definitely. If I’m walking and am having a trash day, and I put on some J Cole, I can walk anywhere, I can do anything.A: J Cole qualifies as bad b*h?M: Like the song that’s like “count it up, count it up, count it up, count it.” A: His songs are so mellow!M: No, some of his songs are mellow, but some of his songs are hype, so his hype songs. Some cupcakKe, I don’t know, Lizzo, anyways. Lizzo’s kinda mainstream.A: cupcakKe, like Deep Throat? M: Yeah. Like there’s a song called Deep Throat by cupcakKe.A: Hannah was supposed to make me a bad b*h playlist but she never did because she was preoccupied.H: So I make bad b*h playlists for all my friends who are sad about boys. A: And you didn’t make me one! I didn’t get one!M: She owes a bunch of people bad b*h playlists. A: I’m sad. M: Update: We all have broken hearts.A: I was sad, where is my playlist?H: I’m gonna make you one.A: Oh but I’m over it now, so there’s no use. H: F**k.M: So what made you feel empowered when you were sad about that? What made you feel empowered afterwards?A: Sammie feeding me bagel bites when I was crying, like on my bed, she brought me my towel. She wiped my tears but I got eyeliner on the towel and then she like fed me bagel bites. She was like “ahhhh.”M: Awww.A: No, I would say singing, for me. Yeah. M: Cause Allison’s a really good singer, hopefully she sings on our podcast one day. Alright, you’re up. Last one. What makes you feel most empowered Hannah?H: Music. But like playing music. So I play the piano. M: You do?! How did I not know this??A: You do??H: Yeah!A: Why don’t you play for me?M: See guys? This is getting to know people!H: That’s pretty nice. A: Hey Hannah, what’s your major?M: And on that note, let’s end this before we find out each others’ majors. Thank you guys so much for listening. Tune in in a couple weeks and we’ll have someone else to talk to. This has been Don’t Tell Me Your Major on NBN Audio. Thanks so much. This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

I Think I’m Okay With Being Put Down This week, Josh and Jared are joined by college Luke on a late Friday night. They start out with an email check and a shoutout to Ty and his band Heelers. There was another scam attempt on the podcast email, but we resisted the tempting offer. This leads into a brief conversation about scams and what kinds they have experienced. The group talks about possible solutions for people like themselves that are not enjoying the process of growing up. They feel being put down might be a decent solution. Later, they get into a conversation about Friday the 13th and the phases of horror movies recently. Josh shares his horror movie idea and we think it’s a winner. To close out the episode, they name some bands/artists they listened to in their youth, dollar hotdogs at Sheetz, and they each name some things they lived without for a long time that they never want to give up. closing song: Drive by Incubus contact: tableinabasement@yahoo.com

In which we discuss why slingshotting around the sun makes them go back in time, nobody asking Uhuru if she is okay, scary giant dream heads and we both gush over how cool the white bridge scene is…

节目名称：Screen Age 节目主题：The films which impress you most节目监制：毕鑫屹编辑：张舒涵 王雪莹播音：曹敏（BR）张舒涵（C）邓斐元（M）李一泓（E）刘甜（B）整合上传：魏薇审核：侯泓锾C: Hello, my dear audience. Welcome to the Screen Age on time. I am your friend, Chirsty.BR: Good afternoon. I'm Brittany.M: I'm Michelle.C: Recently, the weather is cold. Have you seen some heart-warming films?BR: Of course. Let me tell you.BR: Yeah, the film is named 超时空同居M: Okay, it sounds like a science fiction.BR: Well, it's also a romantic comedy.M: Oh no. I feel hurt since I'm a single dog.BR: 哈哈!M: I can't wait to know what it is about.BR: It is about Gu Xiao Jiao of 2018 and Lu Ming of 1999 live in the same room by accident due to space time overlap. They can go back and forth freely between the ages.M: I think it’s novel in romantic movies.BR: They go from disliking to cooperation. Finally, they fall in love with each other. However, Lu Ming of 2018 appears and controls everything.M: Two identical people?BR: Uhmm. In 19 years, Lu Ming has changed from a kind man to a bad man with ambition. After knowing the truth, Lu Ming of 1999 changes the decision and they have a happy ending.M: I think that kind and evil are in the blink of an eye.BR: At the same time, its theme song is appealing.M: OK. I will listen to it for a moment. M: Then, I will also introduce a romantic movie called “Titanic”.C: It is enough classic.M: This is a film directed by 詹姆斯·卡梅隆，starring by 莱昂纳多·迪卡普里奥，凯特·温斯莱特. The story follows the Titanic hitting an iceberg in 1919, and it tells the love between a poor painter and a rich girl.C: I remember it has won the 70th Academy Awards, 11 awards.M: Yeah, 莱昂纳多plays Jack, he is a humorous, handsome and affectionate man. 凯特plays Rose, she is a socialist. At last, she lived bravely for Jack. Their action was well received by the audience.C: But it's ending is tragic.M: Sometimes, tragedies are also enlightening.C: What a coincidence! I will introduce 悲伤逆流成河 to our listeners.BR: It's also tragic.C: Do you know Campus Bullying?BR: I have heard before. It is so terrible.C: Yeah. The heroin, 易遥 is a victim. Because of aninadvertent infection with a venereal disease, after being exposed by唐小米. All of people laugh and bully her.BR: Does anyone help her?C: 齐铭and 顾森西help her. But they're in different ways. I like the latter way. However, by accident, 顾森西's sister顾森湘was murdered. Someone framed it to易遥.BR: No one trust her? Finally, I know, she threw herself into the river.C: But顾森西helped her because of love.BR: Wow. Youth film is so wonderful.C: Love is also.B: Hey, Emily. By the way, Marvel Comics great Stan Lee died a few days ago. After hearing that, I feel sorry for him.E: What a pity! I am a Marvel fans, too. So, now, let’s talk about a famous work, Wolverine.B: OK. Here we go!E: The film talks that in 1845, James Howlett, a boy living in Canada, saw his father killed by groundskeeper, Thomas Logan. The trauma activated the boy's mutation: bone claws protruded from his knuckles, and he killed Thomas, who revealed that he was James's real father. B: James fled along with Thomas's son Victor Creed, who is thus James's half-brother. They spent the next century as soldiers, fighting in the American Civil War, both World Wars, and the Vietnam War. In Vietnam, Victor killed a senior officer.E: James defended Victor and the two were sentenced to execution by firing squad, which they survived. Major William Stryker approached them in military custody, and offered them membership in Team X, a group of mutants including Agent Zero, Wade Wilson, John Wraith, Fred Dukes, and Chris Bradley. They have joined the team for a few years, but the group's disregard for human life caused James to leave.B: While Logan and Victor joined forces to fight off Weapon XI, Kayla was mortally wounded leading the captive mutants to Professor Charles Xavier and safety. After Logan killed Weapon XI, Stryker arrived and shot Logan in the head with adamantium bullets, rendering Logan unconscious. Before Stryker could shoot Kayla, she grabbed him and used her mutant power to persuade him to turn around and walk away until his feet bled. Logan regained consciousness but had lost his memory. He noticed his dog tags read "Logan" on one side and "Wolverine" on the other. He paused upon noticing Kayla's body, but did not recognize herE: The words touch me is that "Countless choices define our fate, each choice, each moment, a ripple in a river of time. Enough ripples and you change the tide, for the future is never truly set." B: It's so touching. And, “Wolverine” has also a strong cast.E: Wow, what's it?B: They're director Gavin Hood, actor Hugh Jackman, Liev Schreiber, Lynn Collins, Ryan Reynolds, Kdvin Durand, Taylor Kitsch, Scott Adkins, Troye Sivan and so on. E: The producer is the patriarch of American comics---Stan Lee, who is known to us. Its product company is Marvel Comics. What's more, it is shot at Texas, American Grand canyon, New York. B: The film consists of fantasy, science, love and action. Now let's see the behind-the-scenes look. E: “Wolverine” was shown on 5th March 2009 in China. That's to say: After “Spider-Man” “Iron Man”, it is the third time to import films concerning hero on May Day continuously.B: More interestingly, Gavin Hood explained why he wanted to direct “Wolverine”: “Partly because I need to prepare tuition fees for my daughter. Actually, I'm not expert at directing it.”BR: The happy moment passes so fast. It's time to say goodbye.C: The weather is changeable. Pay attention to keeping warm, so that we can prevent cold.BR: And, the final examination is coming. Do you ready for it?C: Have a good review! And, see you next time!BR: Bye.

Creating Magical Relationships Radio Show Relationship should not be a way of proving of something or a completing of something, "he/she completes me".A relationship should be an expansion of you, not a contraction of you. If it requires you to be limited, it is a contraction of you rather than an expansion. If you have to divorce any part of you to have a relationship, it is a distractor. Creating a relationship distracts you from being all of you. Sex and relationships not not bad or wrong. How they are presented in the romance novels and movies looks like the ideal of oneness, but do you know anyone that lives that way? We keep trying to fit into this reality as though there is something right about this reality. Do you see many people really working well in this reality? There is a lot of unhappiness, a lot of fighting, somebody is dominating, manipulating and controlling, and somebody is giving themselves away. There is a different choice and it requires you to give up these versions of relationships and create what really works for you. ~ More About Creating Magical Relationships with Bert & Nelly ~ Do you have any places where you are locked up with creating the best relationship and sex life you’ve ever had? What if those places could be unlocked and you could begin to enjoy relationships again? What if you didn’t have to give up or cut off parts of yourself and you can see the value and contribution of you in every relationship? Let’s talk about what nobody talks about and gain access to the possibilities of amazing and empowering sex and relationships where you do not lose you, in fact, you get more of yourself. www.bertandnellibel.com To get more of Creating Magical Relationships with Bert & Nelly, be sure to visit the archives page for replays of all her shows here: https://www.inspiredchoicesnetwork.com/podcast/creating-magical-relationships-with-bert-nelly/    

Many of times we equate quitting to laziness or weakness. You either quit because you can't or quit because you won't . What if you thought of quitting as growth? sometimes quitting can broaden vision and remove comfort.

Earlier this week, tens of thousands of students around the country walked out of school to protest for changes in our country’s gun laws as part of the #NationalSchoolWalkout on the one month anniversary of the attack in Parkland, Florida. Many schools recognized student’s rights to a peaceful protest. Our school provided a designated area to gather, and while they didn’t openly support it, they warned students that their teachers would decide on if to discipline them or not for leaving class. Our school was closed due to the latest blizzard in New England, but we had already told our daughter that we supported her taking part and if she were punished at school, she would not be punished at home. There has been plenty of chatter angry at schools for punishing students. I understand not being happy about it, but at the same time, I’m okay with it. Students (and all people) need to realize that while their rights are protected to peacefully protest and say what they want, that doesn’t mean you are free from consequences. This reality has been lost in our society lately. We should not be able to tweet, scream, post or say anything and then be angry if people react negatively to it. Words have consequences. Actions create reactions. If a school has a rule about walking out of class and they choose to enforce it when students do this, I’m okay with it. Sure, I would prefer them looking the other way and understanding what was going on, but the students taking part shouldn’t have assumed they’d get a pass for deciding to protest. They don’t have the same worries that individuals who chose to sit down at a segregated lunch counter or to march into a crowd of armed police had, but they should be ready for consequences if they believe in what they are protesting. Change has never come without consequences and walking out of school for seventeen minutes is easy. I hope that every one of those students who received a detention or suspension uses the time to continue their protest. I look forward to a detention room photo of students all in orange or #ENOUGH duct taped across their shirts. This fight for change is far from over, and while the wave is powerful at the moment, I’ve seen it crash on the beach too often to be overly hopeful. Yet as people, #MarchForOurLives and another #NationalSchoolWalkout is being planned I’m trying to be optimistic. I do know that there will be another wave if this one doesn’t continue, but eventually, I hope the tides of change arrive.

I need to remind myself that some days, I'm okay.

A special Boom Festival "Future Fossils on The Road" episode featuring some awesome people Michael met while playing and speaking at the amazing biennial psytrance festival in Portugal.Shaft Uddin is a Tantric Unicorn and Sacred Sexual Awakener (with noisy arm bangles): http://sacredsexualawakening.com* Support Future Fossils Podcast on Patreon: patreon.com/michaelgarfield *We discuss:Shadow work, “turning into the swerve,” and going into darkness to claim the light. Realizing that the monster in your dream is you. Dealing with people’s projections and how to make peace with the people who embody your opposite or rejected self – in other words, how to be a “polyamorous sex cult leader” with grace and dignity and humility.“There’s nothing wrong with desire. There’s nothing wrong with harnessing your sexual energy for greater abundance and manifestation.”The dam is to the river system as the taboo is to the body. How do our needs to control nature manifest in ways that obstruct or interfere with our well-being?The horrible true history of the corset – designed to keep women from speaking up for themselves.“The more I study the vagina, the yoni, the sacred space, the more I understand myself. Because I understand where I came from.”The historical tendencies of masculine magic being about projecting the will and controlling nature, and feminine magic being about aligning will with the power of natural cycles.The power of the vulnerability of group intimacy and Michael’s experience with The Body Electric School at Burning Man 2008.Shaft’s ambidextrous “twin goddess awakening” practice and the creation of circuits of loving energy and other “woo woo stuff” that cured his loneliness, depression, and substance abuse.The difference between “polyamory” as loving multiple people and recognizing the original unity and non-separation of all of us and loving universally (see also Alice Frank’s “uniamory”).Polyamory vs. Transparent Love (and other Principles of Unicornia)“Don’t leave me!”(and then immediately)”It’s okay, I’m fulfilled in myself, it’s fine.”— TIME TRAVEL (not externally, but internally) and FATE —Following the histories of the atoms that compose us into the stars and nebulae from which our parts originated = internal time travel!The myth of Atlantis as an example of “misplaced concreteness” of the racial memory of an ancient extinction our cells still remember, not necessarily the story that we tell ourselves about an ancient city.Graham Hancock’s argument that a 13,000 year old comet impact ended the Pleistocene and the possibility that epigenetic molecules have coded this event in our cell nuclei – as well as other even more ancient extinction events such as The Great Oxygenation Event (in which the evolution of photosynthesis nearly destroyed all life).People are building bunkers preparing for a catastrophe that happened two billion years ago!Recycling everything.Faith in humanity and a belief in the Star Trek vision.“I believe that we will start flourishing.”Christopher Ryan vs Stephen Pinker and clashing narratives about the progress of our species and whether or not we really are more peaceful than we were as foragers.“I get my knowledge off of YouTube and Facebook.”— WOO ALERT ––We might as well go there: crystals. Meditating on them. Going back to Lemuria through crystal meditation time travel. “OR are we projecting onto it?”Exalting the natural world by our awareness and appreciation of it. Ensouling technologies by naming them. To observe something turns it from a possibility into an actuality. So with New Age weirdness, how many hallucinations does it take to qualify as reality?Iboga teaches Shaft to “Ask a tree.”Michael: “If my cohost were here to reign me in, we might not even be having this conversation.”Biogeomagnetism and Michael’s 2008 vision-hypothesis that solar maxima and mimina might correlate to changes in the expression of different hormonal balances and behavioral patterns, possibly entirely different genetic expression patterns and states of consciousness.S: “Do you believe in past life regression? I just paid $400 for my one.”M: “Why’d you do that when you can talk to a tree for free?”Camillo introduces himself. Our first third-party guest! He weighs in on the possibility of the cycle of learning that a soul goes through…Is “how literally true it is” the right question? Or do we just have a modern human obsession with FACTS?M: “We don’t realize we’re in this Russian doll of nested dreams. And so we regard LOCAL reality as REALITY. And then you get out of that atmosphere and it gets more and more diffuse.”Writing Field Guides to the Denizens of DMT Space:- the very circus vibe- “like with ayahuasca, there’s always a snake”…and on to Jeremy Narby’s revelations in his book, The Cosmic Serpent, about how plants communicate to animals about their phytochemical properties through gross anatomy.Camillo talks about synesthetic communication with the body, mapping brain regions to reinterpret signals from the body from feeling to visual cortex processing, etc. How archetypes might be the firmware-esque stable mappings of visual and emotional content onto personified entities. (Why would something like that evolve?) Filtered through the specificities of culture, universal human archetypes become specific deities and spirits.S: “THIS is why I want to have a church.”M: “This is why my dad doesn’t want me starting a church.”The Ten Principles of UnicornUnicorn Power BalladsBiophotonics and the DNA Light InternetM: “Maybe the medieval view of things as endlessly regressing celestial spheres is closer to the truth.”Mapping possibility as multiverses on a spherical coordinate plane, and the impossible as antipodal to you, and what’s just unlikely as on the horizon, and what is as where you’re standing. And it all moves when you move.“I basically suppressed my superpowers. I chose to live a lower form of existence…because what really made me happy was ‘Getting paid and getting laid.’ And it made me super happy until two years ago, when I had my awakening.”Michael Crichton’s experience, as reported in his autobiography Travels, of learning to see auras. How Shaft and his former lover learned to see auras. Shaft and Camillo share some exercises and anecdotes about how to move energy.Burning Man as a physicalized internet and the advent of “noetic polities” in which people affiliate and orchestrate according to interests and values, not blood relations or geographic proximity. Will this “unscheduled fluid simultaneity” of liminal zones like festivals be the norm in a few decades, as we get more and more invested in the internet? Nod to Doug Rushkoff’s book Present Shock and his term “narrative collapse.” “Let’s see if it’s in flow! Kind of a spiritual bypass; no agreements.”Scheduling as a byproduct of modern city time; flow as a byproduct as tribal nonlinear time.C: “You’re not the mountain from which the river flows. You’re something in the river that’s going with it, and you’d better just swim with it.”M: “But maybe if you had the mass of a mountain in people that were all trying to get the river to flow upstream, you could do it.”M: “Do you know [of] Peter Diamandis?”S: “Like a true shaman, I don’t read. I learn through experience. Tell me.”M: “Okay, well, through my experience of reading people…”S: [Devious Cackle]Taking an active stance toward the future. Seeing yourself as an active contributor to the future (rather than feeling disempowered by someone else’s vision of the future).Abundance vs. Scarcity in history and economics and how the kind of abundance Diamandis predicts for the next century will radically change our sense of value/priority and allow us to be more deeply generous with one another.C: “A lot of us live in a state of mental scarcity when we’re actually some of the richest people in the world.”Michael’s perspective on Lisbon and the awesomeness of Europe vs. the ridiculous waste and price of the USA.Shaft and Kamillo on the difference in agricultural and food standards in the USA vs. Europe.Parag Khanna and his book Connectography, which argues that our connective infrastructure and economic relationships define boundaries more than actual national borders.The Trans-Pacific Partnership and the light and dark sides of globalism vs. planetary culture.

It seems like people who are trying to escape capitalism is the main product.” Alex joins the conversation and drops a knowledge ball on us about permaculture. Shaft brings up Tamera, a sustainable free love community in Portugal – and his mission to travel the world’s intentional communities and model his own on their best features.M: “Every generation’s trash becomes something valuable to the next generation.”Was the Baby Boomer acquisition/trash-creation phase the caterpillar phase of humanity, gathering and consolidating for an evolutionary transformation?Art made out of trash!

Brad Post: Alright. Welcome to the floridadefense.com podcast. We are speaking to Pasco County (Florida) violent crimes lawyer Mike Kenny. Mike, how are you doing today? Michael D. Kenny, Attorney: I’m doing well. How are you doing? B: Doing well. Doing well. Well, we’re going to be talking basically about violent crimes today. And, so, I’m going to turn it over to you. M: Okay. Alright. Well violent crimes is kind of a big category. It covers a lot of things. We could start talking a little bit about assault charges and battery charges. In the state of Florida, they are separate charges actually. Assault is one act, and battery is another act. In Florida, an assault is essentially a threat. It’s a threat where a person makes a threat to make contact or do some type of physical harm to another individual, and has the apparent ability to carry out that threat. Usually that comes up where a person maybe raises a fist in an argument with somebody else, and looks like he’s about to take a swing or punch somebody. That’s your classic assault. In the state of Florida, a misdemeanor assault like this is a second-degree misdemeanor. That means it is punishable by a maximum of 60 days in jail, or six months of probation. Now, what bumps that assault up is depending upon who the person that’s threatened is. So, if you do that same act, and you raise your fist like you’re about the strike somebody, but the other person happens to be a law enforcement officer, that’s assault on law-enforcement officer. So it takes it from a second-degree misdemeanor to a first-degree misdemeanor. Still a misdemeanor - punishable by up to a year in jail as opposed to 60 days initially for your probation. Battery is a first-degree misdemeanor. And battery is what most people may understand what that is already. That’s just the physical touching or the contact another person that’s unwarranted, done without that person’s consent. So it’s either offensive touching, or causing an injury to another person. And those are first-degree misdemeanor punishable up to a year in jail. That’s your basic section of misdemeanor crimes, violent crimes of assault and battery. Then there’s all these little changes that can happen that can significantly enhance the crimes for misdemeanors to felonies. So, for instance, I talked about law-enforcement officer, and an assault on a law-enforcement officer being a first-degree misdemeanor. If a person commits an aggravated assault on law-enforcement officer, and that’s a situation where a person uses a weapon to threaten a law-enforcement officer, and a weapon could be anything that is capable of inflicting death or serious bodily harm. So, that could be a firearm. That could be a knife. That could be a baseball bat. Shoot that could be a car. Any one of those things. Then you’re talking about a felony with a three-year minimum mandatory prison sentence. So, there’s taking the fist and raising up like your going to strike the officer, and then threatening to do some harm is punished significantly more, and there’s actually a minimum amount of time a person will have to be in prison. It’s a third-degree felony punishable up to five years maximum. And finally, an aggravated battery on law-enforcement officer, that’s something that gives you a five-year minimum mandatory prison sentence. That’s a second degree felony. That’s where there is an actual battery, like we talked about before, but this time there’s a deadly weapon used, or weapon that can cause death or serious bodily harm. A regular battery of a law-enforcement officer is still felony, it’s a third-degree felony punishable by up to five years in jail. B: You mentioned that they don’t even have to this actually strike them it’s more for M: Not for the assault. Not for the assault. Any time you hear term battery in the state of Florida that means contact has been made. B: Okay. M: When you hear the term assault that means it was either an attempted battery, or it was simply a threat. Assault means no physical contact has been made. B: Does that include verbal threat? M: Generally not. B: Okay. M: Generally, saying, “I’m going to kick your butt,” to somebody else in a conversation does not rise to the level of a crime. B: Okay. M: Thankfully. We’ve all been to football games, and baseball games, and any other event B: Right. M: Some people have not had the full judgement that they should normally have. B: Right. M: And, we don’t want to be arresting people for just running their mouth. B: Yes. M: But, there are some threats that you can make, that there are specific crimes for. Like threats online. Making threating phone calls. The words, in and of themselves, aren’t crimes, but it depends on how they are used. And there are certain categories, and boxes that you check off, that maybe it rises to the level of a different crime. B: Okay. M: Once you start talking about felony assaults, and felony batteries, the general area that were talking about is whether or not there was a weapon used. Or, whether or not, there was a serious bodily injury. So, an aggravated assault on a person is the same thing as a misdemeanor assault, a threat to carry out some type of harm to the other person with the apparent ability to do so. But it’s done while the person, making the threat, has a weapon. This comes up a lot with a firearm. In the state of Florida, pointing a firearm, at another individual, clearly would qualify as an aggravated assault. And, because it’s a firearm charge it has a specific minimum mandatory prison sentence which is three years in the Department of Corrections. Otherwise, if it’s not a firearm, if it’s a knife, a bat, some large object capable of causing harm, then there is no minimum mandatory prison sentence. But, it is punishable by up to five years in prison. The unique scenario is when we start talking about felony batteries and aggravated batteries. So, those are when you actually make contact and hurt the person. And there’s two ways to have an aggravated battery. You can have an aggravated battery by taking a weapon, and hitting somebody with it. Or, you can have an aggravated battery by hitting somebody and intentionally causing serious bodily harm. For instance, a punch to somebody’s face can break an orbital bone in the face, maybe knock out a tooth. Those might qualify as aggravated batteries. Even if no weapon was used. Even if somebody just used their fists. But to be convicted of an aggravated battery which, at a minimum, is 21 months in prison on Florida scoresheet. The way to get aggravated, without a deadly weapon, you have to prove that the person had the intent to cause that serious bodily harm. As a defense attorney I’d say a lot of the cases we get people arrested for aggravated battery when the have those lucky punch cases. Where there’s one punch, the guy ends up knocking a guy out and he falls to the ground and maybe fractures something. A lot of time they get arrested for an aggravated battery, but it’s very difficult I think for the state to prove what was the intent of the person striking the other individual. It’s hard to say that you hit somebody one time, and you intended to cause bone breakage. It’s one of those situations where a lot of times it’s a fluke. It happens. Maybe it’s just the right hit at the right moment and other things happen. So, what typically happens in those situations the more appropriate charge is if you hit somebody, and you don’t plan to cause serious bodily injury, but serious bodily injury does occur like you break an orbital bone, break a nose, knock out a tooth, that is what would be better classified as a felony battery. So, felony battery involves a serious bodily injury just like an aggravated battery, but the intent is different. That the person doing the hitting did not necessarily intend to cause that serious bodily injury, but he still responsible. And, it’s not a significant of a crime. There isn’t a minimum mandatory prison sentence typically associated with the felony battery charge. The other aspect of aggravated battery comes up where you can cause no harm to the other person all. Just the fact that you use a deadly weapon, and you hit that person with it. Maybe you hit the person with it and doesn’t cause any harm. That’s still aggravated battery punished the same way as if you caused serious bodily injury, and a person with no prior criminal history can get 21 months in Department of Corrections on Florida’s sentencing guidelines scoresheet. So, it’s a pretty significant type of charge to get involved with. It’s a second-degree felony punishable by up to 15 years in prison. That’s why a lot of work in the beginning is to determine whether, was there a weapon used, and if there wasn’t a weapon used, maybe this is something that we can show the prosecutor, show the court that the intent wasn’t there. Then, obviously you move out of those areas, and there’s differences of who the victim is. For instance, you have an aggravated battery on a law-enforcement officer, is the same thing as an aggravated battery only the fact he’s a law-enforcement officer, carries with it a five year minimum mandatory prison sentence. So, it starts to get very serious when specific classes of persons are affected. There’s charges that specifically protect children from these types of crimes. There are charges that specifically protect elder individuals, that is that people over the age of 65. For instance, battery on an elderly individual is a felony. It’s a third-degree felony, but certainly can carry with it a significant prison sentence up to five years. And then there’s battery on a pregnant female. That’s where an individual is pregnant, and any kind of touching that would qualify as a battery, even misdemeanor, a push, would be a felony in that instance, and it’s a second-degree felony (Level 7) punishable by up to 21 months. I’m sorry, a minimum of 21 months in prison. B: Mike, you mind if I ask a question real quick? M: Yeah, sure. B: We’re talking specifically on this, just Pascoe County violent crimes. But, I know you guys cover the greater Tampa area. And you might not have these numbers, but do you get, you know a lot of these cases, violent crimes cases, from Pascoe County or Pinellas County or do you notice a different area? And I’m not trying to say what part of Tampa’s bad. M: I can tell you we get calls from all over the Tampa Bay area. I can’t say necessarily there’s one, you know, violent type of crime that I get from one area more than another. B: Okay. M: I think it’s pretty evenly divided. A lot of times is, the ideas is, there is sometimes a very aggressive push on enforcement to charge with the highest crime possible. B: Okay. M: It’s kind of the way that their trained. And, it’s the way their taught. You look for the highest crime you can arrest a person for. So, I think you kind of see that happen in a lot of areas. There are people who get arrested for a second-degree felony, are facing prison for getting an argument with maybe their wife who happened that just find out she’s pregnant, and there’s a push. And don’t get me wrong, it’s completely inappropriate, unwarranted, but to go to prison for a push is something that might shock the conscience of a lot of folks out there. B: Okay. M: So, that pretty much wraps up the battery and the assault charges. Obviously, there’s a lot of ways you can find a specific category. But, that’s the general understanding for what Florida punishes for violent crimes like assault and battery. B: And that’s what we’re going to be talking about on the next podcast – assault and battery. We’ll go a little bit more in depth on that. You’ve been listing to the floridadefense.com podcast, and we been speaking to Pascoe County violent crimes lawyer Mike Kenny. And, join us on our next podcast.

When her father died, she went to New York for a break. Every morning, she’d go to a coffee bar. When she got back to London, she realized that there was nothing like those coffee bars.

Now she is proud of her success and plans to open eighty more besides the eighty-five she already has. And Maria is only 33 years old.

The temperature will be cool, around eleven degrees. The wind will get stronger overnight, bringing a fresh bright morning, clear skies and a hot sunny day all over. The temperature in the south will hit twenty-three degrees in the early afternoon, but lower in the north, around twenty degrees. The temperature will cool off in the early evening, dropping to around fifteen degrees, but still clear and warm. So a good day for an evening barbeque. That’s all for now. Good night. 10-12 W: John, just a few questions on your motivation. I know you developed your business with local people. What made you do that? M: Well, I’ve always tried to employ local people to help the local industry. But because we are not province of Spain with little unemployment, I have to use people from outside the area, too. W: What about management style? Are you a hard manager, John? M: No, I don’t think so. I’ve got strong character and as a manager, I am strong, but when I need to fire people, I give them five or… ten more chances. W: And what’s the future for you? What will keep you going? M: For business, well, a new vice president joined the company two weeks ago, so I can devote more time to customers and new products. And privately, I have decided to improve my quality of life. I am thinking of taking every Wednesday afternoon off. This means I can do some training courses, more relaxing activities. 13-15 M: Welcome to Sherwood Holiday Village. We hope you will enjoy your holiday with us. The sports complex is open from 6 a.m. from 9 p.m., and is available for tennis, badminton and bowling. You can hire equipment for just four pounds.

Hello everyone. I’m Misaki. The big earthquake happened on March.11th 2011. So today I'm going to interview an English teacher about the earthquake. So let’s start with an interviewee. M: Hi, what your name please. M.B: My name is Marcos Benevides. M: OK. Can you tell me where are you from? M.B: I’m Canadian, but I was born in Brazil. M:Brazil. OK. I’d like to ask you some questions about the earthquake that happened on March11th 2011. OK? M.B: OK. M: So my first question is that. When the earthquake happened, where were you? M.B: I was at home but I was I just left my house, so I was on the street on my scooter on my bike. M: OK. How did you feel? M.B: I felt very strange because I had been working in my house until about three whenever the earthquake happened. I woke up and I was alone in my house all day I was working from earlier morning and I didn’t eat any food or anything. I just sat in my computer and worked worked worked. In suddenly at 2:30 I looked my watch and I thought oh! it’s 2:30, I didn’t anything I should go get some food. So I jumped on my scooter and I went to the bakery and when I was stopped the red light, the earthquake happened. But because the scooter vibrates, I didn’t notice. I thought I was sick because I didn’t eat so thought “oh! I’m gonna full”. But then I saw people coming out of the buildings and I thought oh, no! It’s an earthquake then I stopped but before that I felt very strange because I thought I was sick, you know? M: Okay. Did you think about going back to your country? M.B: No. M: No? Why? M.B: Because I live in Japan. M: You live with family? M.B: Yes. So Japan is not safety because the earthquake happened. You don’t didn’t nervous in Japan? Oh! Of course I was nervous, but everywhere is dangerous. In Canada we have snow storms and the in other country is there’re hurricanes and tornadoes. So Japan has earthquake but it’s only. Every place has all dangerous. So I don’t think you can’t escape from death. You know? M: Yeah, I think. You didn’t miss your family? M.B: My family was in Okinawa. M: Really? M.B: Uh, my family is Japanese. M: No, your father and your mother. M.B: Did I miss them? No, I don’t know why I would. I mean usually I miss them but during the earthquake I didn’t miss them more. M.B: OK. So when the earthquake happens, will you think about your mind change your mind if another earthquake happened? M: Yes. M.B: No, in fact since the earthquake I bought a house in Japan. So before Japan was my home but now is really my home, because now I have a house. So if another earthquake happens, I will to "ganbatte" like everybody else, alright? So. M: OK. Have you done any volunteer worked or helped for Tohoku people? M.B: Ah,for Tohoku. Well right after the earthquake, I donated money to Japanese Red Cross but I didn't volunteer work to go there. Because I wanted to go there because I was alone,Alright? My family is Okinawa. So I was actually little bit bold because there was no power and all that. So I wanted to go Tohoku to help but there're too many people to go there is not good. So I in the end I didn't go there. But now my house, I am making new window, so took out the old window. And I my wife wants to donate to the window to Tohoku, because they need materials to build houses, alright? So I think we'll do that too. But we have only only donated money, we haven't done other things yet. M: Thank you. M.B: You're welcome. M: Thank you. My question is fished. M.B: It's finish? OK.　Good luck! Conclusion The earthquake brought Japan serious damages. This earthquale claimed the many lives. It was awful. But on the other hand, I felt the power and cooprative attitude of all people. I learned that there are no national boundaries in people's warm heart. So thank you for listening. See you!

 What did you think when it was March 11th? We suffered the biggest earthquake in Japan for many centuries. For Japanese people an earthquake is not rare, but for most of people from overseas, it is an unusual thing, and there are many overseas students and teachers in Obilin University. So we interviewed two people from abroad about March 11th earthquake to see what they thought. [Interview from Shutaro] Shutaro: Hi there! Today I will interview to people from overseas about March 11th earthquake. S: Hi! Man: Hello! S: Hello. Can I ask you some questions? M: Sure. S: What is your name please? M: My name is Peter. S: Where are you from? M: I come from Scotland. S: What are you doing in Japan? M: I’m working as an English teacher. S: How long have you stayed in Japan? M: I’ve stayed in Japan for about 15 years. S: Today, I’ll ask you about March 11th earthquake. M: Okay, sound interesting. S: Have you suffered an earthquake in your country? M: No I haven’t. Scotland is very safe country for earthquakes, but I’ve lived in Japan for 15 years, so I have experience of some earthquake in Japan. S: Where were you when it was March 11th ? M: March 11th I was in a coffee shop in Machida, working on my computer. S: What did you do at that time? M: Just before the earthquake happens, I was drinking coffee and typing essay on my computer. S: How did you feel while the earthquake happened? M: Well, when the earthquake begun, I didn’t think it was a big problem, big deal, so I didn’t feel anything, as usual, (couldn’t hear clearly) normally earthquakes happens you become use to them in Japan, but after about 1minute, the earthquake got little stronger and one man said that if the windows break in the coffee shop, (couldn’t hear clearly) dangerous because it’s big grass windows, so everybody moved same time to wall the door, and just as we are moving, the earthquake became a lot stronger. S: This is the last question, when a big earthquake happens again, what will you do first? M: I (couldn’t hear clearly) do the same thing, which is wait and see (couldn’t hear clearly), and wait and see what thing start break or not, and then I’ll move to walls open ground as fast as I can, and I will look up! S: Thank you very much, Perer! M: Thank you. [Interview from Rika] Rika: what your name? Doya: My name is Doya. Rika: Ok, Doya. I'll ask you five questions about on March 11th. Have you ever suffered an earthquake in your country? Doya: No, I’ve never suffered the earthquake in my country. Rika: Where were you, when it was March 11th? Doya: I was in Sendai when it was March 11th. I suffered the earthquake as soon as I got off a train. Rika: What did you do at that time? Doya: I looked for a safe place and stayed there with my friends until an earth tremor became slight. And we wanted to come back by train but trains stopped running then. So we had to walk to my friend’s house for three hours. Rika: How did you feel while the earthquake happened? Doya: I felt a little fearful when I suffered. And I didn’t expect to suffer so heavy damage. But, when I walked to friend’s house, some fires and tsunami occurred. I felt the most fearful when I stayed in the place of refuge. And I was in a panic because I couldn’t contact with my parents. Rika: when a big earthquake happens again, what will you do first? Doya: First of all, I’ll prepare an identification card, cash and foods. And I’ll bring them to a place of refuge. Rika: Thank you. Thank you very much Peter and Doya. Both of them have never suffered an earthquake in their country, so this is the first time for them. We often suffer earthquakes in Japan, but even we were nervous at that time, it’s natural thing that people from abroad were worried and more nervous than us. We hope that this experience may help them to live in Japan safely.

Sorry about earlier. I shouldn't have . . . W: It's alright. Don't worry about it. M: No, really. I shouldn't have said. . . W: Really. It's OK. Let's just concentrate on something else. M: Okay. Hey, how about we go over the daily routine again? W: The daily routine? Like sleep times and meal times? We already set those back on Earth. Hold on. Let me find the schedule. M: No. I wasn't talking about the schedule. I want to know about the basics. How are we supposed to eat? How do we use the bathroom? Stuff like that. W: Oh. That stuff. Weren't you paying attention to Sander's lecture? M: No. I was busy reading the operations manual. Can you please just tell me how to do this stuff? I don't need a lecture. W: Fine. Let's start with sleeping. The bed is in this compartment. It's small, but comfortable. M: Wait. We only have one small bed? Are we supposed to sleep together? W: What? M: I mean that's fine I guess. Just don't snore too loudly or touch me in weird places. W: No. We are not sleeping together. We have different sleep shifts remember? M: Oh right. I knew that. W: Right. Anyways, just make sure to strap yourself down to the bed. If you don't, you may damage some important equipment. M: OK, strap myself down to avoid a major headache, got it. How about we go over eating next? W: Sure. The kitchen is over here in this compartment. We have two set meals a day. Just grab one of these aluminum wraps and poke a straw through it. You can figure out the rest. M: OK, sounds good. So, how long will the food last? W: It should last at least 3 months. M: 3 months? That's it? W: Yeah. Hopefully, we'll complete the mission by then. M: Yeah, hopefully. If not, I'll have to eat you! W: What? That's disgusting and impossible. M: Not totally. W: Trust me. If it comes to that, I will eat you first. M: Wow, harsh. OK, let's go over the most important thing—the bathroom. W: OK. The bathroom is over there. Not much explanation. Just remember to turn on the vacuum to dispose the waste into space. If not, you'll be floating with the waste next to you. M: Ah, that's what I forgot to do. W: What? You forgot to turn on the vacuum? M: Yeah. It's quite messy in there. Don't worry. I'll clean it up later. W: I think I'm going to puke. M: Ha, ha. Just kidding. I would never forget to turn on the vacuum.

「中古の品物を買う」が今回のテーマ。Yokoは冷蔵庫（fridge）が故障したので買い替えようと考えますが、新品は高くて手が出せません。そこでMikeは中古の冷蔵庫はどうかとアドバイスします。Yokoは中古の家電についてどのように考えているのでしょうか、そして結局どうすることに決めたのでしょうか。 Download MP3 *** Script *** M: Hey, Yoko! What's up? W: Hey, Mike. I'm OK. Nothing new. Boy, it sure is hot outside, isn't it? M: Yeah. It must be a hundred out there. So, what are you reading? (Looking at the title of a catalog) Home Electric Appliances? W: Yeah. I'm thinking of buying a new fridge. But you know, they're really expensive. M: Let me see......wow, yeah, they are!... What kind of a budget do you have? W: About three to five thousand yen? M: What? You kidding? You're not buying a CD, you know. You're buying a fridge! W: Yeah, I know. But I have no money now. What should I do? I'm really in big trouble because my fridge is broken and it's boiling out there, Uhh. I can't buy any raw fish. And I can't have ice cream after a bath. And, and there's nothing like a cold beer after my bath!! Ohhhh, I need a fridge!! M: Okay, O-kay, Yoko! Calm down, okay? Let me think...hmmm...five thousand yen for a fridge....five thousand....Hey! How about a used one? I know a good recycling shop!! I think maybe we can find one there. W: A used one? Oh, that's a good idea!! But.... Ah, I think I'll pass on it. It's probably not so good for the environment. M: What? What do you mean it's not good for environment? W: You know, Mike. These days I'm studying about global warming. Used electric appliances are not environmentally efficient. According to one thing I read, new fridges are now ten times more energy efficient than the ones ten years ago. Did you know that? M: Hey hey hey! Hold on! Environmental efficiency? What are you talking about? W: Oh Mike, you must be kidding me. You really don't know what environmental efficiency is? Okay, let me tell you about it. Environmental efficiency is a kind of strategy that links financial and environmental performance to create more value with less ecological impact. Of course, there's the other idea that we should use used electric appliances as part of the 3Rs: Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle. Some studies even say that recycling electric appliances is more environmentally efficient if we think about the LCA of electricity. Of course I agree with some points, but I... M: Hey, hey, hey. Stop! What are you talking about now? We were talking about your fridge, huh? We're NOT talking about environmental problems. Remember, we are now talking about a problem causing difficulties in your life, not an environmental problem. Remember that, okay? [sigh] Now, let's get back to our topic. So which will you buy for now, cheap or expensive? W: Um... a cheap one.... M. OK, done. Do you need a ride to the recycle store? W: Yes, thank you, Mike. Let's go now. (Written by Saori Nakanishi)
