The Lake: Season's Greetings DLC follows the holiday shenanigans of Thomas Weiss, and the other inhabitants of Providence Oaks, the setting of the base game story. Thomas is the father of Meredith Weiss, the protagonist of the original game, and in 1985 is the one and only mail carrier in town. This special holiday story gives players another cozy peek into life in this small town. We get a little more backstory for many iconic characters and get to know some new ones! Best of all, this slice of life narrative all takes place against the snow covered backdrop of this beautiful town. In Episode 37 of No Small Games, and our second ever holiday episode, Kate and Emily are joined by Jacob Price of The Pre-Order Bonus Podcast, one of our favorite gaming podcasts! The three discuss their favorite movies to watch around Christmastime, Jacob shines some light on the buzz around Hot Frosty (the newest holiday "instant classic" to hit the scene), and the group shares their gifting recommendations in our Holiday Game Gift Guide. Of course, they also discuss their experiences playing the Lake: Season's Greetings DLC. We hope you love this episode, and that you have a peaceful and happy holiday season!

Politicians in Southeast Asia, as in many other regions, win elections by distributing cash, goods, jobs, projects, and other benefits to supporters, but the ways in which they do this vary tremendously, both across and within countries.  Mobilizing for Elections: Patronage and Political Machines in Southeast Asia (Cambridge UP, 2022) presents a new framework for analyzing variation in patronage democracies, focusing on distinct forms of patronage and different networks through which it is distributed. The book draws on an extensive, multi-country, multi-year research effort involving interactions with hundreds of politicians and vote brokers, as well as surveys of voters and political campaigners across the region. Chapters explore how local machines in the Philippines, ad hoc election teams in Indonesia, and political parties in Malaysia pursue distinctive clusters of strategies of patronage distribution – what the authors term electoral mobilization regimes. In doing so, the book shows how and why patronage politics varies, and how it works on the ground. Learn more about your ad choices.

Many movement professionals don't yet know how valuable the principles of Schroth are in their daily teachings, especially for patients with scoliosis. So today, we decided to call on the internationally appointed SSOL Schroth Method teacher, Meredith Weiss, to help us gain a deeper understanding of scoliosis and how the Schroth Method ties into its treatment. Meredith is a licensed physical therapist, nationally-certified Pilates teacher, experienced yoga teacher, Schroth Method expert, and the founder and director of both Kioko Therapy and Physiolutions. After gaining a clearer picture of Meredith's background, our guest walks us through the ins and outs of scoliosis, how her background in yoga and Pilates informs her current work, and everything you need to know about the Schroth Method. We also discuss common scoliosis misconceptions, the importance of self-compassion, why curiosity matters, and why every movement professional should be making greater efforts to learn more about the Schroth Method and scoliosis. Join the conversation as we learn about the three-dimensional nature of scoliosis, the effects of bad posture, and why all we need to do as movement professionals is accept and embrace our (magical) differences. Key Points From This Episode:Introducing the Schroth Method expert and two-time Founder, Meredith Weiss.Who Meredith is and what she does, and how she first fell in love with yoga and Pilates. Understanding Meredith's biggest passion – scoliosis. How her yoga-philosophy background reveals itself in the work that she does with scoliosis.The ins and outs of the Schroth Method. Why movement professionals should be careful not to diagnose scoliosis in their clients. The three-dimensional nature of scoliosis. Why curiosity matters, and why you should always be striving to learn more. Respecting and embracing our differences. How movement professionals would do well to ground their teachings in Schroth principles.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Meredith Weiss Email: meredith@kiokotherapy.com Meredith Weiss on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/meredith-weiss-3815ba2/ Meredith Weiss on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kiokotherapy/ Free Ebook – 100 Pilates Class Themes: https://performance-fit-online.com/100-pilates-class-themesFree Ebook – Top Teaching Tips: https://performance-fit-online.com/top-teaching-tipsFree Creativity Masterclass: https://mailchi.mp/pilates-studio-nuernberg/creativity-masterclassTrain the Trainers: https://www.pilates-studio-nuernberg.com/train-the-trainers/Connect with Us: hannah@pilates-studio-nuernberg.com Performance Fit Pilates: https://www.pilates-studio-nuernberg.com Performance Fit Pilates on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/performance_fit_pilatesPerformance Fit Pilates on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@PerformanceFitPilates Hannah Teutscher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-teutscher/

Welcome to part 1 of episode 32 on the “Love at First Science'' Podcast where Meredith Weiss speaks into misconceptions around scoliosis and loading the spine, as well as how you can address movement differences with Scoliosis. Do you know what scoliosis can teach everyone? Meredith Weiss is a physio that specializes in this vast and intriguing topic. In the podcast Meredith gives us insight into the Schroth method and how it is connected to yoga. Although a huge fan of yoga to support those with spinal imbalances, she also shares things to be mindful of to not exacerbate the challenges this community comes up against. Meredith shares a wealth of knowledge from the foundation of breath and how important it is to stabilize the spine to the importance of the core, nasal breathing and working with the vestibular system. Whilst many like to knock the neutral S-curve alignment, she has found that using it as a foundation has been truly transformational for her clients. Her greatest gift is how she layers awareness about the spine, strategies for stability and the power of breathing.   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Learn More About Meredith Weiss: Meredith is a licensed physical therapist with over 25 years of clinical experience in outpatient orthopedics and the fitness & wellness industries.

Southeast Asia is a region often associated with authoritarian resilience and democratic decline. In this podcast, Professor Baogang He examines the various ways in which Southeast Asian countries have institutionalised mechanisms for deliberative democracy to address complex governance issues. He is the editor (together with Michael Breen, and James Fishkin) of Deliberative Democracy in Asia (Routledge, 2022). Deliberative democracy – an approach to political decision-making that places emphasis on inclusive, reflective, and other-regarding discussion – is manifest in long-standing practices of consensus-building and communitarian politics in the region. Professor He explains how introducing public deliberation into different political regimes can simultaneously give voice to ordinary citizens while also entrenching elite domination. Professor He draws on a range of case studies in Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, and reflects on the wider trend of deliberative democratization in Asia and beyond.

Today is Inauguration Day for Joe Biden, as he takes an oath to serve as the 46th president of the United States. But what lies beyond the inauguration spectacle are the domestic and international divisions that were made more pronounced under the Donald Trump presidency. Can these divisions be overcome by the incoming Biden Administration? Melisa Idris and Sharaad Kuttan speak to Meredith Weiss, Professor of Political Science, State University of New York at Albany.

In this episode, Vivien and Isabelle have the pleasure of speaking to Dr. Meredith Weiss, Professor and chair of Political Science at State University of New York – Albany. Professor Weiss's research is in the field of comparative politics, focusing on Southeast Asia, and her current projects include research on democratic representation and political elites in Southeast Asia, and a monograph on Malaysian sociopolitical development. Professor Weiss is a former chair of the Southeast Asia Council of the Association for Asian Studies and currently holds positions at multiple political science associations. She has given briefings for the US Trade Representative and State Department and has served as a State Department lecturer in Malaysia.Support the show (https://www.usasiainstitute.org/support-usai-ch)

We're joined by Meredith Weiss to uncover the mysteries of "hybrid" electoral authoritarian regimes and find out why they prove so durable.

This fascinating conversation begins with a discussion of the critical importance of Southeast Asia, including the rise of China and its ambitions in the region. Then Professor Weiss focuses on Malaysia and the return of the formidable 93-year old Mahathir as prime minister. Next, Professor Menchik discusses the complex situation in Indonesia--a country with 17,000 islands and 300-plus ethnic groups--and the upcoming elections there.

Part 1 of a new series of podcasts on post-GE14 Malaysia. New Mandala editor Liam Gammon talks to Prof Meredith Weiss about whether Malaysia is witnessing 'democratisation through elections', and ANU's Dr Ross Tapsell speaks with Dato' Ambiga Sreenevasan about how civil society can hold the new government to its promises of reform. This podcast is produced with the support of the Malaysia Institute at the Australian National University's College of Asia and the Pacific.

Colleen and Meredith discuss how to overcome challenges to create the life you want, touching on areas such as the importance of asking for help, believing in yourself, and Meredith's mantra..."You're a fighter, you have choices". 

Think of student activism in Asia and what comes to mind? The democracy movement in China during 1989? Or Burma the year before? The tumultuous student politics of Thailand in the mid 70s? Perhaps the 2014 protests in Hong Kong. For most of us, student politics in Malaysia probably isn’t the first thing we’d think of. But not Meredith Weiss, author of Student Activism in Malaysia: Crucible, Mirror, Sideshow (Cornell SEAP & NUS Press, 2011), who provides a definitive account of student politics and university life in this Southeast Asian country, from the colonial period to the present. The number of scholarly monographs on Malaysia is relatively small, and few are as meticulously researched and referenced as this book. For these reasons alone, Student Activism in Malaysia deserves close attention. Weiss writes to recover lost history, and she does so with keen insight and nuance. At the same time, she pushes the reader to rethink what the categories of “student” and “activist” mean–not only in Malaysia or Southeast Asia, but also in the modern world.
