All the best! -- WALK THE DARK available May 27th from Regal House Publishing! https://regal-house-publishing.mybigcommerce.com/walk-the-dark ABOUT WALK THE DARK: Oliver Curtin grows up in a nocturnal world with a mother who is a sex worker and drug addict, and whose love is real yet increasingly unreliable. His narration alternates between that troubled childhood and the present of the novel, where he is serving the last months of a thirty-years-to-life sentence in a maximum-security prison in upstate New York for a crime he committed at age seventeen. His hope for redemption is closely allied with his memories, seen with growing clarity and courage. If he can remember, then life in the larger world might be possible for him. Praise for Walk the Dark "Paul Cody's Walk the Dark is creepily beautiful, full of stillness and darkness. Cody takes us into places we don't know and shows us strange states of mind that feel absolutely true. It's both soothing and terrifying being in Oliver's mind, because he sees such beauty but also feels forever separated from it. For decades now I've seen Paul Cody's work as the ultimate cross between horror and literary fiction, taking us deeper into the weird American night than anyone in either camp.  Walk the Dark is a continuation of that same world we know from Cody's The Stolen Child and So Far Gone, both of which are great, terrifying novels." - Stewart O'Nan, author of Last Night at the Lobster,  Emily, Alone; and Wish You Were Here   "Walk the Dark is harrowing and vivid, taut as a wire. Paul Cody intertwines terror and hope; he knows how to hook his readers from the start -- and on every page. Keep the lights burning when you open this spell-binding book." - Julie Schumacher, author of Dear Committee Members -- Arts Calling is produced by Jaime Alejandro (cruzfolio.com).

For the first time the annual concert was held at Newton North High School. WBZ's Jay Willett reports.

A theatre production at Newton North High School in Massachusetts is now under federal investigation by the Dept. of Education after they barred white students from auditioning in a school play called "Lost and Found," stories about people of color. They claim the auditioning packet acted as a reserved space place for people of color who are vulnerable to support one another. If you can do this in a play, you can do it in sports, in choir or any school activity. Martin Mawyer, President of Christian Action Network joins JT to discuss this more.

The country is in crisis. Riots, protest, police brutality, pandemic. What do we tell our kids to help them understand? And how do we get them educated in our time of Covid-19? When and how do they go back to school?   We reached out to leading educator Dr. Jennifer Price. She knows the public school world, the private school world, and how children's lives and educations are being pummeled by pandemic and upheaval. Don't duck the issues, she says. Talk about everything. And be ready for almost anything when it comes to the new face of education in Covid time. Jen Price walks us through the dramatic range of options K-12 schools are juggling as they plan for the coming school year with the pandemic unvanquished.   Dr. Price is head of school at Buckingham, Browne and Nichols School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a prominent private school.

Welcome to a special episode of Feisworld, where I interview 5 guests! They are Sue Brooks, an art teacher from the Design and Visual Communications Program at Newton North High School (NNHS), and her four graduating seniors : Marisa Ng, Bradley Trepanier, Sophie Tavolieri and Max Hernadez. The episode features the latest news and development from Sue's program. Marisa, Bradley, Sophie and Max took turns and talked about their fascinating projects in the past two years (2014-2016). From teaching inner city kids (who don't speak much English) on how to design complex systems, to getting Justin Bieber's attention at TD Garden in Boston (a sold-out, 17,000-seat stadium) when the lights went off. Lessons learned in Design and Visual Communications? "It's OK to fail." "You don't notice that you are learning, but you are!" "Hold your ideas loosely. Keep it loose and expand your brain." "Always challenge myself." If you are a student, a parent, a relative or a friend who believes in design but not sure how it can be a long term career, this is the episode for you. If you are lucky enough to live in Boston, Newton, I hope you get in touch with Newton North High School to learn more. This episode is not sponsored by NNHS. Rather it is my personal opinion and observation during the past five years. As a professional in the marketing, design, advertising world, I can say with confidence that design is critical in many areas - visual design, product design, user experience design, illustration, storyboarding and more. If you have questions for either Sue Brooks or myself, please feel free to reach out by leaving a message on this blog, or get in touch with me @feisworld on Facebook.

Chuck Collins, senior scholar at the Institute of Policy Studies, introduced the Building Sustainable Security Conference on November 21st by speaking about the world that is dying and the new world that is being born.

In 2013, NNHS InvenTeam applied to enter the Lemelson-MIT High School Student Grant. After a year of hard work (including the summer), their project was chosen to be presented at the White House Science Affair in front of President Barack Obama. In Part 2, we set aside glories and trophies and began focusing on the daily lives of two college students:  What is the day in the life of an MIT / Brown student? How to be obtain a "Pirate License" at MIT?  Why does Felege run with a "clicker" in the morning at Brown? What do MIT college students do day in and day out? What are a few things (in Karen and Felege's opinions) that could improve the current state of higher education? Why is it important to learn how to think? Quick final questions - What does success mean? How to live a fulfilling life? What does  a dream project look like to Karen and Felege without concerns of budget and resources How did this all happen? You may be wondering how I got in touch with Mrs. Brooks in the first place. In 2011, I helped organize a field trip for design students at the Commonwealth School and Newton North High School to visit Sapient (an agency I was working for at the time) to explore design opportunities beyond traditional disciplines. Immediately after the field trip, I created the very first High School Internship Program at SapientNitro. Today as part of Feisworld Inc. services and offerings, I continue to mentor high school, college students and young professionals: http://www.feisworld.com/work-with-fei/   --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support

Show notes, tools and resources: feisworld.com/blog/karen-fan-felege-gebru I have served on the Advisory Committee for Newton Public Schools Career & Vocational Technical Education Committee since 2011. I met Karen Fan and Felege Gebru through InvenTeam, initiated by an incredible art teacher named Sue Brooks at Newton North High School. InvenTeam functions very much like a small design and technology firm, where every student on the team has a specific role such as a designer, engineer, product manager. InvenTeam chose to participate in the Lemelson-MIT competition. After a year of hard work, their project was chosen to be presented at the White House Science Affair in 2014. President Barack Obama greeted the students and even asked questions about the project. When I received an email from Mrs. Brooks about this update, I almost fell out of my chair at work. As you can imagine, I had to invite them to Feisworld. Today, Karen is a Sophomore at MIT and Felege is a Junior at Brown. In Part 1, we dive right into their visit to the White House: What was it like for them to meet with President Obama, presenting to him and then having an intellectual exchange? How was InvenTeam formed? Who was the key person to make it happen? What was the project they worked on? Who did they collaborate with? How has this experience changed both of their lives? What does design have to do with technology? Why does Mrs. Brooks go out of her way to help students who are interested in arts? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/feisworld/support
