Atari's Star Wars the Arcade Game was released 40 years ago and quickly became one of the most popular arcade games of all time. With groundbreaking innovations and real Star Wars sounds, it's still fun to play. Jay and Shua try their best to use the Force on Enjoy Stuff!   Join us in the arcade as we look back on the iconic stand-up (and sit-down) game Star Wars the Arcade Game.   News Get ready for the release of a new Atari 2600 that will play your old games too! Star Wars - Dark Forces is getting a remastered release for PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch It's time for your Halloween and fall cereals and merchandise including It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown cereal, Rice Krispies, and more The trailer for Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon has gotten some people excited, but is it a little too derivative?   Check out our TeePublic store for some enjoyable swag and all the latest fashion trends What we're Enjoying On a recent vacation trip, Jay checked out a legendary Candy store in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania called Mr Ed's Elephant Museum & Candy Emporium. It's a fun store with a nice nostalgic feeling. Plus, Mr. Ed's is to elephants what Rancho Obi-Wan is to Star Wars. A gigantic collection of crazy pachyderms. Shua enjoyed the pride he felt when dropped off his youngest to her new college in Rhode Island. With some stops in Boston and other scenic places along the way, his emotions were bubbling over, so let's keep him distracted. Enjoy Video Games!  Riding the hype of the newly released Return of the Jedi, Atari released a new game that used a variety of techniques to display the graphics. Using the mathematical based vector graphic method, they sacrificed the solid shapes of a raster game, with the sharper, faster electron beam method.    It included 3 levels that would get increasingly difficult. A Tie Fighter battle, flying along the surface shooting towers, and a run down the Death Star trench challenged the player and put you right in the center of the movie action. A stand-up and a sit-down “cockpit” version were available, making fans even more excited to feel like they were a part of the story.    Plus, it was the first game to use digitized voices and music (and they were straight from the movie!) And the developers hid (rebelliously) a bunch of Easter eggs including their own names. A simple game with line graphics and yet we are still excited to play it.    Did you get to play the arcade version of Star Wars? How many levels can you clear? First person that emails me with the subject line, “R2, try to increase the power!” will get a special mention on the show.  Let us know. Come talk to us in the Discord channel or send us an email to EnjoyStuff@RetroZap.com

Dr. Benedict grew up in Charlotte as a son of a WWII vet and a nurse, learning hard work and the value of education, leading him to meet his eventual lifeling mentor, Mike McNichlos. Dr. Benedict spent the next three decades in Real Estate Development throughout the south but calling Greenville, SC home. In 2006, he made the transition to becoming a Professor and eventually becoming the Director of the Clemson Masters in Real Estate and Development Program, where he has enriched countless lives with his wisdom. Dr. Benedict is a true philomath and a good man that chose a path less traveled in educating.

When the Masters in Real Estate Development (MRED) program launched at ASU in 2006, few people could foresee the role it would play in development projects across Arizona.  In the 16 years since, its influence is seen in the graduates, relationships, and projects that have been created because of it (as well as other copycat programs that imitate its success). In this episode we learn the origins behind the MRED and how it is shaping developments across Arizona.

Episode 3. Rebecca Jensen is the President and CEO of MRED. Being able to "fail fast" and focus on the Individual are just a few of the ways Rebecca stands out as a leading women.

Introduction

Episode Summary: Our guest took a non-traditional route to reach her success today and was able to work her way up to be the CEO of MRED in Chicago, IL. Joining us is Rebecca Jensen, the President, and CEO of Midwest Real Estate Data, or MRED, an MLS company providing services to the Chicagoland area. Rebecca truly is making "industry magic" happen in the real estate world.  In this episode, join Rebecca and me to hear how Rebecca's choices led her to be the leader of one of the largest MLS companies in the country that provides services to over 45,000 brokers and appraisers. We also discuss the numerous ways in which Rebecca offers her expertise to real estate organizations across the country!  Top Takeaways:  Rebecca Jensen's Advice for New Agents "Understand why you are now in the business. There are part-time agents that think that this could be a supplemental part of their income, and then there are people who think that… might see real estate as an easy way to change a career. It's not as easy as HGTV or some of the programs might have you think." "If you're going into the real estate industry as an agent because you've lost your job, and this is going to be your new job. Make sure that you treat it like a job. Don't expect ten hours a week of work to give you the forty-hour a week paycheck. It's not how it works. You need to put in a ton of work, especially in the beginning for new agents. Don't think it's just some easy career path; it might look like that on the outside, but it takes a lot of time, effort, and discipline to create an actual business for yourself."  "I want to stay at the top of my game. My goal is to serve brokerages. I do a lot, as much as I can, to not just reach out and let people know what is happening but also to hear what the pain points are, what are the problems that need to be solved. I am motivated by the big, hairy, audacious goals." – Rebecca Jensen [24:30] "I am a huge advocate of having a very disciplined planning process that takes not just what's happening in the industry, but you have got to have at least a three to five ear outlook on where things are going to go. That's what I did with RESO. I knew data standards weren't just going to pop out in two months. Now, look at where RESO was… and now it's a sold-out conference held globally with people all over the world being engaged." – Rebecca Jensen [29:16]  Episode Highlights: [00:22] Intro [00:48] Meet Rebecca Jensen – MLS Aficionado  [02:05] Born and raised in Salt Lake City   [05:32] Taking the Alternate Path in High School to Reach Success  [07:13] Working on Up – Help Desk to CEO  [13:40] Rebecca Jensen's Projects and Developments at MRED  [16:59] Working Alongside a Board of Directors  [18:47] The Transition from "Small" Lake City to Chicagoland [24:24] The Importance of Volunteering in the Real Estate Space  [26:54] MRED-Shaped Strategic Planning for Brokerage Clients  [30:05] The Impact of 2020 on MRED  [33:41] Rebecca's Advice for New Agents  [35:29] Connect with Rebecca  [35:45] Closing Thoughts  [36:14] Outro  Episode Notes:  Today, Joining us is Rebecca Jensen, President, and CEO of Midwest Real Estate Data, or MRED, an MLS company providing services to the Chicagoland area's brokers and appraisers. Born and raised in Salt Lake City, Utah, Rebecca spent her childhood outdoors enjoying the terrain that Utah offers.  Rebecca Jensen's dreams in high school were on the non-traditional side as she decided to drop out of high school at the age of sixteen as she believed she could go to college and start her career path now. Rebecca never received her high school diploma or obtained a GED. Instead, she enrolled at her local community college and began taking college courses at sixteen years old. Instead of taking the traditional path, Rebecca described that she looked

With the popularity of voice assistants on the rise, it’s safe to say offerings like Bixby, Alexa and Google Assistant aren’t going anywhere, so we should be taking advantage of them. How can real estate professionals make use of voice technologies in their businesses? Should we be feeling threatened, or can agents work alongside voice technology? On this episode, CEO and co-founder of Voiceter Pro, Miguel Berger, shares how to make the most of voice assistants.  We need to embrace technology instead of trying to fight it, and use it intelligently. -Miguel Berger Takeaways + Tactics  Agents can use voice assistants in every area of their businesses, from reminding us about listings and updating us on new market trends, to helping us during open houses.  Stop thinking that new technology is a way for us to lose business; start seeing it as an advancement that can help us reach more clients.  As agents, it’s important to adapt to voice assistant offerings, not only to make our lives easier, but to stay relevant with consumers. At the start of this episode, we discussed how voice assistants can be used for our MLS. We shared that voice assistants are not meant to replace agents, but to help make their tasks easier and their organizations run more smoothly.  We also shared insights on: The language barriers faced by voice technologies Why agents need to know what they want before using new technology That agents should be educated more about voice assistants before implementing them Resources To see how MRED (Midwest Real Estate Data), which services around 45,000 real estate agents, brokers, and appraisers is using "Voice Assistant" click HERE.

The peptidoglycan cell wall (CW) and the actin-like MreB cytoskeleton are the majordeterminants of cell morphology in non-spherical bacteria. Bacillus subtilis is a rod-shaped Grampositive bacterium that has three MreB isoforms: MreB, Mbl (MreB–like) and MreBH (MreBHomologue). Over the last decade, all three proteins were reported to localize in dynamic filamentous helical structures running the length of the cells underneath the membrane. This helical pattern led to a model where the extended MreB structures act as scaffolds to position CW-synthesizing machineries along sidewalls. However, the dynamic relationship between the MreB cytoskeleton and CW elongation complexes remained to be elucidated. Here we describe the characterization of the dynamics of the three MreB isoforms, CW synthesis and elongation complexes in live Bacillus subtilis cells at high spatial and temporal resolution. Using total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy (TIRFM) we found that MreB, Mbl and MreBH actually do not assemble into an extended helical structure but instead into discrete patches that move processively along peripheral tracks perpendicular to the long axis of the cell. We found similar patch localization and dynamics for several morphogenetic factors and CW-synthesizing enzymes including MreD, MreC, RodA, PbpH and PBP2a. Furthermore, using fluorescent recovery after photobleaching (FRAP), we showed that treadmilling of MreB filaments does not drive patch motility, as expected from the structural homology to actin. Blocking CW synthesis with antibiotics that target different steps of the peptidoglycan biosynthetic pathway stopped MreB patches motion, suggesting that CW synthesis is the driving force of patch motility. On the basis of these findings, we proposed a new model for MreB fuction in which MreB polymers restrict and orient patch motility to ensure controlled lateral CW expansion, thereby maintaining cell shape. To further investigate the molecular mechanism underlying MreB action, we next performed a site-directed mutagenesis analysis. Alanine substitutions of three charged amino 2 acids of MreB generated a B. subtilis strain with cell shape and growth defects. TIRFM analysis revealed that the mutated MreB protein displayed wild-type localization and dynamics, suggesting that it is still associated to the CW elongation machinery but might be defective in an interaction important for MreB morphogenetic function. Thus, this mutant appears as as a good candidate to start characterizing the interactions between the three MreB isoforms and components involved in CW elongation. It might also help to understand the function of components of theCWsynthetic complexes, and how they are coordinated to achieve efficient CW synthesis. Finally, to investigate how the integrity of the CW is maintained, we studied the localization and dynamics of the LiaIH-system, which i s t he t arget o f L iaRS, a t wo-component system involved in cell envelope stress response. We found that under stress conditions, when liaI and LiaH genes are expressed, the proteins form static complexes that coat the cell membrane. LiaI is required for the even distribution of the LiaH in the membrane. Taken together, these data suggest that LiaIH complexes may protect the cell from CW damage. Taken together, the findings described in this thesis provide valuable insights into the understanding of CW synthesis in B. subtilis, which may open new perspectives for the design of novel antimicrobial agents.
