What is the step-by-step guide to build a real estate project from scratch? What are the best practices for the construction of self-storage, RV, and boat storage? What are some of the main legal items to keep in mind? Melissa Anderson of Forge Building Company, shares her knowledge. Read this entire interview here: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Od6QAe⁠ If someone wants to build a project from scratch, what would be the step-by-step that person would have to take, from who do they have to contact first, all the way to the team that they need to work with until completion? Once you see what the parcel is and what it sounds like, you're going to identify what jurisdiction has authority, whether it's a city, the county, or a township, and then you're going to start talking to them, to see what is the approval process in order to build on this piece of property and to find out how they feel about self-storage. If you're going into a municipality that has a really bad taste in their mouth about storage, they're going to put up every hurdle they possibly can because they don't want you to build self-storage and so, that is something to be taken into consideration when you are looking at that piece of property and before you close on. After you get it entitled, who should you start working with at that point?You have your property and title and the next phase is what I would call the design phase. That's when you are going to have your civil engineer, your architect is going to start working on elevations, and a lot of the details of the building. If the jurisdiction has design requirements, that is going to be working up those architectural drawings to show that you're meeting the design requirements of that municipality. For instance, let's say that on the street front, they don't want to see any of the metal paneling, in that case, you're going to have to look at other exterior finishes such as stucco, Splitface, veneer, and they're probably going to want it to be aesthetically pleasing. If you're in an environment where they have very strict design elements that they want, to say that they want it to match the feel and the look of the rest of the city, then that architect is going to understand what elements to put into the construction documents. That's what you're doing during the design phase, you are building the construction documents that are going to give the subcontractors, it's going to give them all the very specific details of what they need to bid on the project and what will be executed during the time of construction. What are some of the main things to keep in mind regarding legal when negotiating with anyone? time is really important, wanting to know how quickly you can get the project done, and what obligations each person is going to have for those. Having realistic expectations is important. I've seen this in projects where the GC really wants this job, and they'll say, "Yeah, we can get the project done in nine months." And now all of a sudden, that owner has that expectation of nine months. Well, as you start working with all the subs, it may not be that and so I really encourage owners to have realistic expectations. Then, the contractual amounts, when are you going to be paid? Insurance is a really big thing, making sure that the GC has the correct general liability and builder's risk insurance, and that they are also making sure that all of their subs have it. One of the biggest things is safety. Is it a GC that values a safe working environment? Are they holding their subs to the exact same requirements of making sure that they have a safety program in place, and that they have a way of enforcing it?

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we're featuring a special archival Q&A from the 47th New York Film Festival in 2009 with director Claire Denis and cast members Isaach de Bankolé & William Nadylam on White Material, moderated by Melissa Anderson. Claire Denis returns to NYFF for this year's 60th-anniversary edition with two films: the Main Slate selection, Stars at Noon, and the Revivals selection, No Fear No Die. Based on the 1986 novel by Denis Johnson, Stars at Noon represents a new mode for director Claire Denis, a contemporary thriller suffused with political intrigue and languid eroticism, moving entirely to the tactile rhythms of its actors, especially rising star Margaret Qualley, who gives a live-wire performance of fervid spontaneity and mercurial passion. No Fear No Die, Claire Denis's rarely screened second feature, is a radically physical cinematic journey into the shadowy (under)world of illegal cockfighting. Isaach De Bankole and Alex Descas star as Dah and Jocelyn, two immigrants (from Benin and French Antilles, respectively) living on the outskirts of Paris who earn money from cockfights. A very limited amount of NYFF60 Passes are now on sale! Single tickets will go on sale to the General Public on September 19, with pre-sale access for FLC Members and Pass holders prior to this date.  Listen to the discussion on the film below and don't forget to subscribe on iTunes, Spotify, or Stitcher for more filmmaker conversations.

"It's at a certain point toward the finale that this SCREAM becomes almost as drearily repetitious as the reboot culture it skewers." Pat Smith of Slant Magazine lines up SCREAM for a stab wound, and sadly, we mostly agree. One of our hosts is kind to the movie, and the other is Dave. We talk about waiting too long, the lack of difference between Scream 4 and 5, and how these kids never quite live up to noted thespians like Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy. But then we move on to a great movie! Right? Well… “In the end, for all its pleasures, it's difficult to view Blade Runner 2049 as anything but an elaborate echo of the original, neither true sequel nor reboot, unclear of its own identity.” - Melissa Anderson, Columns “Blade Runner 2049 honors the original in many ways - some small and some large - but it's not a soft reboot. It's a new story with new ideas and new purpose” - James Berardinelli, ReelViews Two very different reviews here for what has been dubbed in cinephile circles as the movie we should have paid for, an underseen masterpiece. But what will Dave and Mike think? That's why you're here. Listen in to hear about fantastic visuals, stupid sounds, and Inspector Gadget threesomes.

Writer and artist James Hannaham joins Kate Wolf and Medaya Ocher to discuss his most recent book, Pilot Impostor, a mix of prose, poetry, and visual collage. James is the author of the award-winning novels Delicious Foods and God Says No. His short stories have appeared in One Story, Fence, and Bomb, and he was for many years a writer for the Village Voice and Salon.  Pilot Impostor was partly inspired by a trip to Cape Verde and Lisbon, right after Trump's election in 2016. The book brings together disparate influences like the work of Portuguese writer Fernando Pessoa, the TV show Air Disasters, and current events. Through shifts in form, narrative, and style, Hannaham asks some of the biggest questions about the self, identity, the failure of leadership, history, and the nature of consciousness. Also, film critic Melissa Anderson, author of Inland Empire, returns to recommend Jean Stein's depiction of Hollywood, West of Eden.

In the first half of the show, Kate Wolf is joined by Melissa Anderson to discuss her first book, Inland Empire, a volume in Fireflies Press's Decadent Editions series, which revisit seminal films from the 2000s. A story of a “woman in trouble,” David Lynch's Inland Empire (2006) is a bold selection, since, as Anderson points out, to try and make sense of its plot “would be to replicate the tediousness and pointlessness of narrating a dream.” Instead the book concerns itself most with the film's star, Laura Dern, an electrifyingly expressive performer who has worked in the industry since she was a child. Using the whole of Dern's career and her many collaborations with Lynch, Anderson explores Inland Empire as the work not so much of an auteur but of an actor, making poignant observations along the way about disintegration and desperation, victimization and agency, the possibilities of the female gaze, and the dark side of Hollywood. In the second half, Kate is joined by artist and inventor Pippa Garner. Over the past six decades, Garner has satirized American consumer culture with a range of drawings and ideas for outlandish yet, given our zeal for novelty, completely plausible products, custom furniture, and things like the world's most fuel efficient car — which is actually a bicycle set inside the frame of a miniature Honda. In the 1970s she collaborated with the media collective Ant Farm, and in the 1980s, as Phillip Garner, she published books such as Better Living Catalog: 62 Absolute Necessities for Contemporary Survival and Utopia — or Bust! Products for the Perfect World. She also made regular appearances on the talk show circuit, in character as a small-town inventor, presenting some of her many gadgets — like a crop-top business suit and an umbrella whose canopy is constructed of palm fronds. “Immaculate Misconception,” a retrospective of her work, is currently on view at Joan in Los Angeles.

Welcome to The Last Thing I Saw. I'm your host, Nicolas Rapold. This year marks the 20th anniversary of David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, a movie that has never been too far from best-of lists. But Inland Empire, Lynch's three-hour digitally shot follow-up, which came out five years later, has sometimes gone overlooked. So it was great news to hear that the critic Melissa Anderson has devoted an entire new book to the movie, voyaging into its nightmarish depths. Anderson, who's the film editor at 4 Columns, takes the opportunity to appreciate the unique qualities of Laura Dern and her multi-film collaboration with Lynch. Anderson joined me for this special episode, which partly found me in recovery mode after the movie's haunted story about an actress who finds herself in emotional freefall and all kinds of uncharted territory while shooting a new movie.

Typically, salon owners didn’t go to business school prior to opening their salon business. So, it’s no surprise that the salon business is second only to restaurants for top failing businesses. This is scary! How do we support one another and make sure we don’t just survive in business—but actually thrive. Melissa Anderson is here to share her passion for growing her salon business and what she’s done to sell her way out of the struggle.

SEASON 2: EPISODE 8 Film critic Melissa Anderson talks about the correlation between smoldering internal rage and a lighthearted use of exclamation marks. ABOUT THE GUEST Melissa Anderson is the film editor of 4Columns and a regular contributor to Artforum and Bookforum. ABOUT THE HOST Neil Goldberg is an artist in NYC who makes work that The New York Times has described as “tender, moving and sad but also deeply funny.” His work is in the permanent collection of MoMA, he’s a Guggenheim Fellow, and teaches at the Yale School of Art. More information at neilgoldberg.com. ABOUT THE TITLE SHE'S A TALKER was the name of Neil’s first video project. “One night in the early 90s I was combing my roommate’s cat and found myself saying the words ‘She’s a talker.’ I wondered how many other other gay men in NYC might be doing the exact same thing at that very moment. With that, I set out on a project in which I videotaped over 80 gay men in their living room all over NYC, combing their cats and saying ‘She’s a talker.’” A similar spirit of NYC-centric curiosity and absurdity animates the podcast.

Today's guest is film critic Melissa Anderson, but first I'm going to find someone here on the street to talk to.  We're doing a podcast, and we just need people to know... Oh, okay. Sorry to bother you. Would you have a minute for a podcast, just to read this card into a microphone?  REMY: Why not? NEIL: Thank you. I love the "why not?" REMY: What podcast? NEIL: It's called SHE'S A TALKER. It's built off a collection of thousands of these index cards doing interviews with people. Uh, but now we're playing around with having people on the street read them. Would you mind?  REMY: Okay. When people sing out loud to themselves with headphones, wanting to be heard.  NEIL: It's often a cutesy thing. You know, someone's on the subway. They got their headphones in. They're singing. They're pretending like they don't know they can be heard, but they can be heard. Do you know what I'm talking about there?  REMY: I have absolutely done that. It was another version of me years ago, if that helps.  NEIL: Tell me about that version of you.  REMY: A version that was, really wanted to be heard, man. I mean, everyone really wants to be heard, but especially like I had just moved to New York. Like when you find those little secret ways where you don't even admit to yourself that you are reaching out. It's, it's a little bit of a lifeline.  NEIL: Can I ask what your name is?  REMY: Remy.  NEIL: Remy. Would you do one more card or no? This, okay, great. Hang on. I'm going to find another one.  REMY: I feel a type of violence when someone marks a file as final.  NEIL: Do you know that experience? Like do you ever work with electronic files and like?  REMY: Yes. Completely. Yeah.  NEIL: Are you someone who is, uh, who marks things as final?  REMY: I try not to because then you end up with another final and final two and final seven, and yeah, it is a lot. Um, so I try and keep it organized, but never final. Nothing's final. NEIL: I'm so happy to have as my guest, film critic Melissa Anderson. Melissa is the Film Editor for the unique art criticism site 4Columns, and frequently contributes to Book Forum and Art Forum, and before that was the Senior Film Critic for The Village Voice of blessed memory. Non-professionally, Melissa has a longstanding practice of emailing me abuses she encounters of the word 'journey', which she describes as the COVID-19 of nouns. We spoke just after the new year at a recording studio at The New School near Union Square in New York City.   NEIL: Melissa Anderson.  MELISSA ANDERSON: Yes. Neil Goldberg. NEIL: Welcome to SHE'S A TALKER. I'm so happy to have you here. This is your first podcast.  MELISSA: Yeah.  NEIL: Wow. How does it feel?  MELISSA: I feel that I'm in the best of hands. I'm with a creative conversationalist of the highest order. And I'm, I'm ready to talk.  NEIL: Um, what is the elevator pitch for what you do?  MELISSA: Oh, it's very simple. I'm, I'm a film critic. I'm the world's preeminent lesbian film critic. There's my elevator pitch. Elevator to the stars.  NEIL: I love the lack of ambiguity about that.  MELISSA: I mean, of course. I'm a film critic. That would be my elevator pitch. I don't, I don't want to get too grandiose so early on in our conversation. NEIL: Well, hopefully there'll be time later. You know, I'm, I'm thinking of criticism as its own literary form. So I would say, Melissa Anderson is truly a critic of film whose criticism rises and surpasses the attributes that we apply to the other literary arts. Or it rises to the level of literature. Would you agree with that? Is that an intention?  MELISSA: You are putting a woman in a very precarious position. I mean, if I agree with you, "Oh yes. All those wonderful things you said, oh of course, I am the best." But I also don't want to go into some display of false modesty.  I will just say that, yes, I practice the dark art of film criticism. I've done it for several years now. I always feel that my writing could be so much better. That's always the goal: to not just coast, to really play with language, have some ideas, say outrageous things. Yes. And, and not just rely on plot synopsis, because that is, is really the, the dullest form of cultural criticism, especially film criticism. I think it's inevitable. You have to give the reader just some sense of what happens in terms of, you know, action or just the, the, the barest plot synopsis. And from there you can branch out and talk about the really interesting things, like Brad Pitt's face or what French actress I may have a very big crush on. You know?  NEIL: Do you get a lot of followup? Like what kind of followup does one get? MELISSA: Yes. I do get the follow up question quite a lot, which is what kinds of films do you write about? In fact, this came up just the other day. I was meeting somebody for the first time, and I said, you know, I really try to cover anything. And then the person I was talking to said, Oh, would you review the new Star Wars movie? And that's when I realized, actually, I do not cover the waterfront because I have not seen a Star Wars movie since 1983. And I almost never write about anything in the Marvel Comics Universe or DC Comics, simply because, I mean, I have, I, I have made a very concerted effort to see these films to keep up. But, and I'm not exaggerating, I found them so depleting. I remember watching Guardians of the Galaxy. And while I was watching it, I thought, this is like watching a toaster being assembled. It, it just, it simply seemed like nothing but a product where Tab A goes with Tab B, or this part slots into this part, and I thought this, this cinema is just simply not for me.  NEIL: Yes. Well, you use the word depleted, which is interesting, which I think of depleted as being like, something is taken from you. So what is taken?  MELISSA: Uh, well in those instances, my love of going to the movies. I mean it still really seems like an adventure to me. Anytime I go to a screening room, you know, anytime I'm, I'm, I'm there to review something, I'm there with my, with my uni-ball pen and my MUJI line notebook and I enter the screening room really as an act of good faith. And so these movies I'm describing, like Guardians of the Galaxy, or Thor, or whatever, those I saw as a civilian because I also think it's very important that as a film critic you, you see more than the movies that you are assigned to write about. And so I went to see these superhero movies, comic book movies, intellectual property movies on my own, you know, just to keep up. And with these films, that sense of adventurousness - that ended. Then it just, it felt like a chore just to remain in my seat until the film's completion.  NEIL: Out of family obligation, I will be seeing a lot of the franchise movies or whatever they're called. I just saw Star Wars over the holidays. And, uh, it, it does feel a little bit like a tour. But you know, my approach to the movies and this sounds so snobby, but, uh, I really do feel like sleeping during a movie is a form of interactivity. You know what I mean?  MELISSA: Andy Warhol certainly thought that, and have your fact checking department vet this, but the great Amos Vogel, who was a crucial person in New York City film culture, one of the founders of the New York Film Festival, I believe, he also said that sleeping during a film is an absolutely legitimate response to, to what you're seeing on screen.  NEIL: Absolutely. You know, you're doing a little re-edit, you know, by, by sleeping and - MELISSA: De tournage, you're detourning the moving image.  NEIL: Exactly. What is, what is a recurring thought you have? What's a thought you keep returning to?  MELISSA: Can I turn the oven off? No. Well, that is sadly... Uh. Well. It's a recurring concern, and I mentioned it earlier, which is, how am I going to make my writing better? Just yesterday, in fact, I looked at something that I wrote last year that when I completed it and filed it and went through the editing process, I thought, Oh, this piece is all right. Yesterday, while revisiting this year-old piece, I thought, how was I not run out of town? This is a colossal embarrassment.  Yeah. I don't know if, how you approach your previous works. Do you revisit older stuff that you have done or do you just, do you operate under the assumption that no, never, never look back? Just keep moving ahead.  NEIL: Revisit it to, to revise it or just to look at it?  MELISSA: Just to look at it.  NEIL: It's something, it's - one of the things I truly dislike the most is, as part of the whole artist shtick, one has to do artist talks and show past work, and I, I don't like doing it at all, primarily because it just feels so dead. Like, and I do feel like a work for me is not finished until the point that I have stopped really having feeling for it. You know what I mean? One becomes detached to it, and maybe there's a value to becoming detached from it in that, um, it allows one more flexibility, fewer feelings of darlings that are being killed and stuff. But I'd love never to look at it. For sure. But you, it sounds like you do kind of consciously revisit your past work. MELISSA: Well, sometimes, you know, invariably, I will be writing about an actor, a performer who I may have written about in another film five years ago, and I'm curious to see what I wrote then, just so that I don't repeat myself. I'm revisiting stuff just to make sure I'm not saying the same thing over again, or I'm curious to gauge my different responses if indeed there is a difference.  NEIL: Let's go to the cards, shall we?  MELISSA: I'd love to.  NEIL: Excellent. Okay, so the first card is the correlation between smoldering internal rage, and the lighthearted use of exclamation marks. MELISSA: I, when I see an abuse of exclamation marks, particularly in email correspondence, I feel nothing but a red-hot smoldering rage. Not even smoldering, just full-on Mount Vesuvius-level Krakatoa explosion. I have been told this is generational, that those younger than this elderess, and that is now billions of people, prefer the exclamation mark. And the period, which I think is a very fine mark of punctuation, is considered by millennials and younger to be somewhat passive-aggressive.  NEIL: Oh, that's interesting. I feel like exclamation marks aren't necessarily passive-aggressive, but they're meant to.  MELISSA: No, no, no. The period is passive-aggressive. NEIL: Right. No, I get that. But I feel like there's a similar kind of belying or something happening with the exclamation mark, but it's about rage. Like, um. Well, I guess passive-aggressive typically means, uh, that you have aggressive feelings that you're masking. I think of it as a more diffuse, the, the exclamation mark, as more - it's not trying to communicate anger at someone, but a free-floating anger that is perfumed by way of the exclamation mark. MELISSA: Right. Because the exclamation mark perfumes it with a cheerfulness or an excitement. It just exhausts me.  NEIL: Oh, absolutely. It asks so much of you. You always have to ask, what does it mean?  MELISSA: Yes.  NEIL: And when was the last time you used one?  MELISSA: Just yesterday, in fact, wishing someone a happy 2020.  NEIL: Oh yeah. You got to do that. A period there is, is slightly hostile. MELISSA: That seems very dour and grim.  NEIL: Next card: that bring-down moment, after you've watched a transcendent performance, when you first go to look at your phone. And perhaps this applies to movies.  MELISSA: Well, after I've seen something really terrific, whether it be a live performance or a motion picture - to maintain that feeling, I will defer looking at the phone for quite some time. I just like to replay it in my mind.  NEIL: Yeah. How do you feel right after a show if you're with someone and they're, like, wanting to analyze it?  MELISSA: This drives me crazy. Of the many billions of things that I appreciate about my fantastic lady, one of them is that, in the many years that we've been together, in the many thousands of movies that we've seen together, we will leave the theater, and neither one of us feels this compulsion to say, so what did you think? What did you think? Which really sends me into murderous rage. And, uh, there was a time when I was going to film festivals fairly regularly. And for seven years I went to Le Festival de Cannes, where, talk about depleting. Press screenings at the Cannes Film Festival begin at eight-thirty in the morning. NEIL: Wow.  MELISSA: So one is rushing to see, you know, the latest Lars von Trier or whatever. You come stumbling out into the bright Mediterranean sun, and you are just surrounded by all of these film critics who are just assaulting, assaulting you with a quote. What did you think? What did you think? And I. This really, so many times, really put me over the edge. You just need time to simply let the images or the live performance, whatever you've just seen, let it wash over you. Sink in. So I find the question an assault.  NEIL: Next card, Melissa. Looking in my apartment's compost container is sort of like gossip. I find I enjoy looking in the compost.  MELISSA: You know, I also enjoy it somewhat, and I will also say that I feel that now one-fourth to one-third of my waking hours are spent taking the compost down to the compost bins. Yeah, it is, it is something of a time investment. But when I look at it, forgive me, I must say it - I'm overcome with a sense of virtue because my lady and I, we like to do a lot of cooking at home, and I make, uh, at least one, sometimes two cups, very strong French-pressed coffee. So all of my coffee grounds around there. And so, yes, in fact, before leaving the house, I took the compost out, and I thought, Oh look. Greens and coffee grounds and brown eggs. We're doing great.  NEIL: This is your own compost you're talking about.  MELISSA: My co- the compost of the soul.  NEIL: I hear that. It is deeply virtuous. I feel very embraced by compost. Like I like that compost, within its parameters will accept everything, and you don't have to tell food scraps how to become compost. I know that there's some work involved. It just feels embracing. It takes. Compost takes.  MELISSA: You know, one feels really in tune with the spirit of the first Earth Day in 1970. NEIL: That feeling when the plane lands and they dramatically reverse the engines to slow it down.  MELISSA: Well, if it, particularly if I'm coming back to New York, I'm, I'm spirally thinking, will I be able to make it to the air train in time? Will I be able to make it to the LIRR to pull into the Atlantic Terminal, which is a convenient 10-minute walk from my house. One would hope that the slow brain would kick in. The slow brain being, Oh, how great. One has landed safely, although now that I mentioned that, should one be feeling grateful that one has landed, or should one be filled with what my Shero Greta Thunberg has us thinking about, which is Flygskam, or shame of flying. Yeah. So I think the next time I fly, and I'm not sure when that will be, yeah. I, when the plane lands, maybe I'll just be feeling filled with shame.  NEIL: Yeah. I feel a variation on that because when it goes in reverse, you feel how much force is required to, to stop the plane, you know, which suggests how much, how much energy is going into propelling the plane forward, and you're burning fuel to send it in reverse. So it is a moment of - MELISSA: And killing Mother Earth. You think, how big is my carbon footprint?  NEIL: Oh God.  MELISSA: Sorry, Greta.  NEIL: Yeah. I just watched Greta's um, speech, finally, um, over, yeah, over the vacation, because, I don't know how I hadn't seen it before, but - MELISSA: I still haven't seen it.  NEIL: It's prophetic. A lot of it is like, You, meaning people of - I'm 56, like my generation. "How dare you" is the refrain, which, I think, I would have reworked that. Um. MELISSA: You're going to copy edit Greta.  NEIL: Yes, exactly.  MELISSA: Take a red pen to Greta.  NEIL: But a lot of it... I can imagine 20 years, something down the line, I do feel like there's going to be a generational justified wrath, um, hitting us, hitting people of my age, you know. And she speaks that.  MELISSA: I find her incredibly inspiring. I mean, yes, in all seriousness, I really am. I'm not someone who flies a tremendous amount. I'd say I'd average two to three flights a year. But this whole concept of the Flygskam, it has really made me think, thanks to this 16-year-old prophetess that, yeah, this is really, um, a great harm that I am perpetuating by flying so I can have a vacation in Paris or go visit friends in Los Angeles. So I have tremendous respect for this fiery, oracular, young person.  NEIL: Melissa, when you put your arm around a friend or hold their hand, but then the discomfort of when to disconnect emerges.  MELISSA: Um, I think of myself as a pretty physically-affectionate person with friends. I'm really not a hand-holder.  NEIL: Uh huh.  MELISSA: Even with my lover, and we've had some discussions about this. Because she, when we first began our love journey so many years ago, she would often like to take my hand out in public. And I thought, this kind of bugs me. But, and I, you know, I wanted to check in with myself. Why? Is it internalized homophobia? And then I realized, I, I, I landed upon what bothered me about it. There was something about my hand being held. It made me feel infantilized. Her arm around my shoulder, or even better, her arm around my waist - that I was into. Cause that felt more like a PG-13 type of public display of affection. NEIL: Right.  MELISSA: And also with the hand-holding, you know, I try to be very conscientious about taking up public space. And when you're walking around a couple holding hands, it's an impasse.  NEIL: It is like a blockade.  MELISSA: If there's a way that one could have a public display of affection while walking single file, that is, that's the challenge of 2020. Lovers, lovers of New York City. Think of how this can be done. The piggy-back ride. Will that be the way to show somebody you're really sweet on them in 2020?  NEIL: You do see the occasional piggy-back ride, but it doesn't make me feel good.  MELISSA: Not so sexy, right? You know, we're surrounded by an army of lovers. NEIL: That's true. Taking up space. Um, you know, I feel the same thing about holding hands in public. It's not about the physical infantilizing thing, but it is a type of intern - I don't know if it's internalized homophobia. It's like, yikes. Are we gonna get a bottle thrown at us?  MELISSA: Hmm.  NEIL: I'm sure there's internalized homophobia in there too. MELISSA: But again, I don't, it's, it's not that, it's just... Okay, well actually now I'm thinking about this more. I'm fact-checking myself, holding hands in the movies is okay. Because you're - one's parents, or certainly my parents, wouldn't hold my hand during the movie.  NEIL: True.  MELISSA: But holding, holding one's hand in public. That is something your parents did to you as a child.  NEIL: We've nailed it. You've nailed it. That's it. Yeah. MELISSA: I'd like to thank all of the years of psychotherapy I've had on the couch of, well, should I name my psychotherapist?  NEIL: If you want to give a shout-out.  MELISSA: Well, she's a... She knows who she is. NEIL: Yes, exactly. That. Let's hope. Let's hope one's therapist knows who they are. I've never name-checked my, my therapist either. Um, and yet all my years in therapy, I never came to the conclusion about the hand-holding. NEIL: What's a bad ex you'd take over a good Y? MELISSA: Me, who considers herself to be really one a gift of the gab - I'm stumped. I would take, I would take a bad movie that's not in the Marvel Comics Universe or a Star Wars movie - I would take a bad movie any day over a good television show.  There's no romance to watching television.  NEIL: Is it context?  MELISSA: There's no sense of adventure in staying home and watching television. When you commit to seeing a movie, you have to leave the house. And it seems that, increasingly, even in New York City, this great, dynamic, incredible place, the messages we keep receiving are: stay at home, stay at home, cocoon. You never have to leave the house. Everything will come to you. You'll have your content delivered to you. You'll have your food delivered to you. Stay home, stay home.  No, leave the house, people. It's very exciting to go to the movies, even if it's a stinker. There's so much that could happen, so much that's beyond your control. It's terrifying, but it's exciting. Leave the house. Leave it. Leave your house.  NEIL: On that note, Melissa Anderson, thank you for being on - that didn't sound genuine. I have to do it again.  MELISSA: Yeah. Talk about passive-aggressive. Speaking nothing but periods.  NEIL: On that note, Melissa, thank you so much for being on SHE'S A TALKER.  MELISSA: It was a great honor, Neil Goldberg. I thank you.  NEIL: Bye. That was my conversation with Melissa Anderson. Thank you for listening.  Before we get to the credits, there's a listener response I'd love to share with you. In my conversation with Jon Wan, in response to learning that they studied jazz saxophone in high school, I said, "I'm going to make a controversial generalization: I don't think jazz is gay." Jon and I then talked about the way jazz offered a model of cool and casualness that didn't feel available to us as awkward, closeted high-schoolers. Steven Winter emailed saying, "Jazz is self-expression within yourself being rendered into outer sensation. There are so many ways to cut the cake of the music called jazz, but three key essentials are: one, freedom; two, swing; and three, improvisation. Can these elements not also be used to describe the fundamental pillars of LGBTQ survival in the 20th century up till now? Jazz is about describing and finding yourself as an individual. That's why you can hear a dozen jazz versions of the same tune, and each will hit you in a different way. Can the same thing be said of the gay movement? Yes, it can." Thank you, Steven.  If you have something you'd like to share about a card or anything else you've heard on the podcast, email us or send us a voice memo at shesatalker@gmail.com or message us on Instagram at shesatalker.

Aura talks to Melissa Anderson about her detour from TOMS shoes executive to personal coach. She encourages everyone to not live other people's dreams, but rather to think 'box the outside.'

Melissa has quite a story and has endured many hard days to become the joyful mother she is today! Through an incredibly challenging pregnancy and postpartum depression she is helping raise awareness for other mothers who may be living under a shroud of doubt or fear. Only 15% of women with postpartum depression will get help or realize they need it.  She is working to change those numbers over on her Facebook group and website- Let's Find Joy. I'm so happy she is making the road less traveled a little less daunting for those who need it! And I'm so grateful she reached out to me and shared her story so that I could share it with all of you! Thank you Melissa for using your experiences to ease the burdens of others!

Today’s podcast guest, Melissa Anderson, has had a long association with dance, beginning tap dance at the age of three. Fast forward and Mel completed a Bachelor of Dance Performance during which she took Pilates classes. As Mel pondered her career options, which included doing a Diploma of Specialist Makeup Services and Cross Fit instructor training, she was always drawn back to Pilates and that is where her career has landed. In 2018, Mel opened up her very beautiful Pilates studio, Korpermotus, in Adelaide's chic suburb of Unley. It is obvious when talking with Mel that she is doing what she loves. She has taken some of her favourite aspects of dance training - discipline, athleticism, artistic expression - and channelled them into Korpermotus.I hope you enjoy my entertaining chat with Mel. She is full of energy and embraces life with vigour!If you’d like to follow Mel, her Instagram handle is: korpermotusHere is a link Korpermotus pilates studio website: https://korpermotuspilates.com.au

A big part of Film Comment's mission is to bring well-informed insights and original voices to the rich heritage of movies. One beautiful example of this is our regular column, Queer & Now & Then, written by Michael Koresky. With every column, Michael picks a single movie from a specific year for a discussion in terms of queerness, as part of what he calls, “a conversation with himself and the movies.” For our latest Film Comment roundtable talk at Film at Lincoln Center, we invited several critics to join Michael for a talk about the interconnections between their experiences and memories of movies and their sense of identity. This podcast is record of this insightful, funny, and candid conversation between Koresky, Melissa Anderson of 4Columns, best-selling author and critic Mark Harris, Wesley Morris of The New York Times, and filmmaker and critic Farihah Zaman.

Sex in the Pews’ 69th Episode begins with a discussion of the implications of the number 69, what is the most effective way to think about sex and religion, the effects of self-loathing, how to thwart that kind of “stinking thinking” and the stress which accompanies change. Glenn relates a story about how not proactively coping with a change landed him in the hospital and how the change of the shocking news of the death of Jeff Austin of Yonder Mountain String Band has impacted him. Then Glenn relates his and his family’s experience with Jeff and the band as he pays tribute to a brilliant musician and performer. Then the Boys welcome back the great Melissa Anderson. Melissa is the host of the “Matters of the Heart Opinion Poll” on Facebook and Instagram. She was one of the first-ever guests in the Pews last winter on Episode #4 and now returns for #69 which leads into a dialogue about the value of “69” We learn why Melissa thinks 69 is “overrated”, why discussing sexuality openly is out of her comfort zone, why some people cannot communicate sexually (especially men) and the difference between men and women’s sex drives as we get older, plus lots more. It ain’t going to be boring! NSFW or children. Strong Sexual Content, Language, Spirituality, Humor and Condemnation of Religion.

Happy MLK, Jr. Day! As we celebrate the life and legacy of freedom Dr. King's life produced, we are reminded that freedom manifests itself in various ways. While dictatorships and slavery "work" and are the most efficient ways to get things done, democracy and liberty are always much healthier for a people and for the human soul. (There's the obvious observation of the day!) On today’s fresh edition of Sex in the Pews, Glenn and Owen discuss the importance and benefits of infusing openness and freedom into romantic relationships. The process of freedom can be very messy, much more chaotic than the order and control of a dictator. However, it's still the best by far for the human soul. Our special guest is Melissa Anderson, moderator of the Matters of the Heart Opinion Poll on Facebook. Melissa was under such restriction and control in one relationship that the guy she was just starting to see accused her of cheating when they weren’t even “a couple”. They had never slept with each other and, after she told the dude she would be dating other guys, he still accused her. The accusation was leveled after the guy knew she had gone home after leaving him. She wasn’t with another guy. Her “friend” was simply trying to control and dominate her, to make her feel guilty about something she had not even done! Control and domination, whether it is over an entire race of people or your significant other, may be more efficient in some ways but overall is contrary to what every human heart is programmed for, freedom! Get to know Melissa and her heart. She's fun, playful, smart and caring.

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday, and Happy Halloween!   On this week’s episode of The Seek The Joy Podcast is Melissa Anderson. Melissa and I met while in law school, and she found joy, grounding, community - and honestly her way back to herself - through Soul Cycle.  We talk about her journey with Soul Cycle, the importance of a strong supportive community, navigating the world as an adult (or as I like to call it, adulting), and knowing your boundaries. It's so easy to lose sight of who you are in the midst of so many changes, especially when life is throwing one too many curveballs your way.  The journey back to YOU is the most important one you'll ever embark on. Melissa's story is one so many of us can relate to. My biggest takeaway from this episode is the big themes that keep coming up in each episode I’ve recorded. Boundaries, self-care, kindness, and taking care of yourself. All of these themes keep coming up time and again . . . there's definitely something more there for all of us to explore.  Today’s episode is a good one ✨

We’ve come to think of healing in mechanical terms, as repairing something broken, like fixing a flat tire. But for most of human history healing has meant more than repairing the body. Healing has meant restoring a sense of wholeness to a person—or even a relationship or community. In today’s show we’ll hear two stories that explore this older sense of healing. First, a Bay Area woman diagnosed with breast cancer finds healing through a complementary medicine modality at Stanford Hospital called Healing Touch. Second, a Stanford student living with an incurable disease finds healing in an encounter with the ocean and one of its creatures. How do we heal when our bodies are irrevocably changed?

While speaking with Melissa Anderson about behavior driven development (BDD) at BADCamp 2014, she suggested I get John Bickar from Stanford Web Services in front of my cameras to talk about his experience during last year's "Drupalgeddon" security vulnerability. The result is this podcast and some great insight into how this kind of testing can significantly improve initial, ongoing, and emergency delivery of software. As John puts it, using BDD means: "delivering better software, delivering it faster, and knowing that it is delivering the value that we have promised to our partners." I would have named this episode of the Acquia Podcast more in the spirit of Dr. Strangelove: "Behat tests mean death to Linky-Clicky or how BDD helped Stanford Web Services recover fast during Drupalgeddon," but reason won out.

Research integrity is a universal foundation of good research. It is supported in the U.S. by a rather elaborate system of oversight mechanisms and instructional approaches. Worldwide, however, it is subject to varying degrees of attention, and there are few standards that are accepted globally. This variation can complicate the work of international research collaborations. This talk draws on Melissa Anderson's empirical research on research integrity, in both domestic and international contexts. It also reflects her role as the co-chair, with Sabine Kleinert of The Lancet, of the latest and upcoming World Conferences on Research Integrity. For an audio podcast preview, listen to The Rock's Podcasts. Melissa S. Anderson is associate dean of graduate educationand professor of higher education at the University of Minnesota. Her work over the past 25 years has been in the areas of scientific integrity, research collaboration, and academy-industry relations, with particular attention to the research environment. She was principal investigator of a study funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health on international research collaborations and co-editor, with Nicholas Steneck, of International Research Collaborations: Much to be Gained, Many Ways to Get in Trouble (Routledge, 2010). Professor Anderson serves on the Committee on Scientific Freedom and Responsibility of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and on the editorial boards of Science and Engineering Ethics, the Journal of Empirical Research on Human Research Ethics, and Accountability in Research. She serves as co-chair, with Sabine Kleinert of The Lancet, of World Conference on Research Integrity (Montreal, May 5-8, 2013 and Rio de Janeiro, 2015).

“People know worldwide what fabrication, falsification, plagiarism are,” says Dr. Melissa Anderson, Associate Dean of Graduate Education and Professor of Higher Education at University of Minnesota. So a pressing question in international research is: what are the structural issues that could explain the variation in research misconduct between the United States and other foreign countries? People often highlight cultural differences as the key explanatory factor for this variation. However, Dr. Anderson believes that people jump too quickly to cultural differences, while overlooking the tremendous variation in standards and codes of ethics. Thus, international research ethics should track the differences in laws and regulatory standards in science (the organization of science, funding sources, training programs, etc.) in order to understand the source of international research misconduct and also, in order to foster future international standards of research integrity.

## Migrate in Core! * Why was the Migrate module chosen to get into core? This has been discussed for a very, very long time. The problem with the upgrade path is it runs Drupal 8 code against a Drupal 7 database so a lot of APIs need to be re-implemented in a more restricted fashion but obviously no one is too thrilled to waste time on code that runs essentially once per site at most so we tried to reuse as much code as we can with often unsatisfactory results. Code you’d think will work against a D7 database might turn out to work against a D7 *test* database but not the real ones. * How did this get into core even though Drupal is “frozen”? Well, ask Alex Pott. He raised the idea at DrupalCon Prague. You should remember Drupal 7 was held back by the upgrade path by about half a year. Decoupling the ready levels of any sort of data upgrade path and release is certainly a wise idea. Realizing some part of Drupal is broken beyond recognition and making a smart decision on how to solve the problem is something we love Alex for. * What was the process involved? Getting into core is really easy if a core committer starts the discussion. On Monday, Alex said, let’s do it, we said, great idea. He got Dries on board at breakfast on Wednesday, they announced the move at the Core Q&A on Thursday. By then I got approval from my boss at 10gen (MongoDB) to spend my paid time on this. I also got Melissa Anderson on board by this point. I really hoped funding will happen for her as well but that didn’t happen so far. Anyone interested please get in contact. This was an easy decision -- we hit a wall with the upgrade path and we did climb that wall in Drupal 7, noone wants to do that again. Here’s an (in hindsight funny) moment about it: one of my life regrets is not capturing the face Barry Jaspan made at DrupalCon Copenhagen after an extremely fruitful discussion when he realized we do need to update disabled modules. I could’ve framed that photo and sold it with a title like “Damnation” or something like that. By the way, that particular completely ad-hoc conversation around a whiteboard, cemented my (and others) conviction of the helpfulness of core conversations (which just started at DrupalCon SF the same year). We easily shortened the D7 cycle by a month in about half an hour. The reason MongoDB (name of the company and database both) came on board, this is an enormous opportunity for MongoDB: they paid me to make sure Drupal 8 runs on MongoDB alone, without any SQL and I believe this to be possible since about February (provided someone writes all the drivers but many are already written, actually). Unlike upgrade, Migrate uses the same APIs as a normal Drupal 8, it is just another module like any other so if you put these two together it means that without any further work, if migrate works against an SQL database as a target it will also work for MongoDB as a target. People will be able to leave behind not just antiquated Drupal versions but also antiquated databases too :) ## Use Cases * What does the migrate process look like for sites on D6, D7, and older? We will ship a default UI which will be super simple: you can provide database credentials, a file path, two buttons, one to migrate configuration, one to migrate content. I will be the first to admit this UI will be an alibi as it won’t work in many, many cases. After all, upgrade didn’t work either. But what happens after a fail is crucial. Upgrade function are intertwined and just impossible to reuse and themselves not working against in many installations. If user_update_8002 fails against your database, you can’t run node_update_8013 and above (this is a real world example). Migrate is different. It will with ship reusable, mostly independent migrations but even more importantly the insides of a migration are not closely coupled. We worked very hard on this. It will ship with many, many independent plugins. So, one level, if you hacked the user table apart and because of this the user migration fails, you can still migrate nodes. On the next level, if you need to write your own user source plugin that’s all you need to do, the rest of the migration might just work or need small changes. Say, your user table doesn’t have unique emails. This obviously will fail to migrate. But the migration module ships with a deduplication plugin, so you can add a few lines to the migration entity YAML, adding that to the ‘mail’ pipeline of the user migration and be done. Getting back on how this will look like. If you decide to rebuild your site in a Drupal 8 way and only migrate users, content and such without migrating configuration, you will be able to do that either via a contrib UI or drush. This is the important part, really. So the way this is going to happen for some people: install an empty Drupal 8, try to migrate configuration, tweak the configuration, migrate content. Others will rebuild the site and then pick and choose which migrations to run. Many, especially coming from Drupal 6 will code their custom migrations. Remember the user example. It won’t be very different for custom data either. You need to write a source plugin which deals with reading from your custom table, very often, this is just a simple query. Then you need to write the migration itself using this source plugin, and using the migrate provided process plugins and of course an entity destination. We strive to make the whole Drupal version change as painless as possible. Instead of having a “take all or nothing” upgrade path, migrate has a simple core UI, will hopefully have a more sophisticated contrib UI, will allow minimal custom code to augment existing migrations and a little bit more custom code to create new migrations. Unlike the “No Child Left Behind” program which resulted in every child left behind, we truly believe in no Drupal site left behind: come to Drupal 8, we have cookies! (And web services and mobile UI and in place editing and deployable configuration and….) ## History of Migrate Module. Who has used code before me? Moshe to describe prior success stories about Economist, Examiner, Martha Stewart, Warner Music, ... ## Questions from Twitter * [Damien McKenna](http://twitter.com/DamienMcKenna) How much configuration will be migrated (variables, blocks table, etc), or is it going to be data-only? * [socketwench](http://twitter.com/socketwench) How different will the migrate framework be for developers in 8 compared to 7? Will there be a configuration migration path? * [Cathy YesCT](http://twitter.com/YesCT) #MUP089 What would make it easier for the team? What do they need (aside from eventual people to do small bits of migration/tests). * [Cathy YesCT](http://twitter.com/YesCT) #MUP089 For each person, what is their proudest moment so far in working on migrate in D8? * [Damien McKenna](http://twitter.com/DamienMcKenna) #MUP089: While working on the D8 codebase is there any consideration for backporting changes to the D7 Migrate module? * [Cathy YesCT](http://twitter.com/YesCT) yay! as [@1z411](http://twitter.com/lz411) said "post partial work" #MUP089 Great way to get quick good feedback that will help people learn. * Where can people go to get involved? ## NodeSquirrel Ad Have you heard of/used NodeSquirrel? Use "StartToGrow" it's a 12-month free upgrade from the Start plan to the Grow plan. So, using it means that the Grow plan will cost $5/month for the first year instead of $10.
