How much you like and enjoy a certain food is influenced by many things besides the food itself. The utensils, the color of the plate, etc. This episode begins with some interesting examples of this and why, if you are eating yogurt, you want to use one particular kind of spoon. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/utensils-can-influence-food-taste-how-much-you-eat-study-finds/ One thing we all must face is – death. As inevitable as it is, it's not a topic most of us like to discuss. However, I think you will find this conversation to be different. Julie McFadden is a hospice care nurse with a unique take and unique perspective on death and dying as someone who deals with it every day. Is it possible to have a “good” death? What do people talk about in their final days and moments? What does Julie think about an afterlife? (She has a great story!). Julie has over 1 million followers on TikTok,(https://www.hospicenursejulie.com) she has been featured in Newsweek, USA Today, the Atlantic, Daily Mail and she is the author of the bestselling and highly acclaimed book Nothing to Fear: Demystifying Death to Live More Fully (https://amzn.to/3VWvN77) Have you noticed we have words in English that almost mean the same thing as other words? For example, persuade and convince -what's the difference? Or typeface and font – aren't they the same? What about assume and presume? And is there a difference between the deep web and the dark web? Here to explain these fascinating and subtle differences in our language is Eli Burnstein. He is a humor writer whose work has appeared in The New Yorker and other publication and he is author of a book called Dictionary of Fine Distinctions: Nuances, Niceties, and Subtle Shades of Meaning (https://amzn.to/4cOURU8). When you have an important decision to make, you may want to pause and have a snack first. Listen as I explain why eating can help with decision making and what exactly you should eat first. https://medicalxpress.com/news/2010-01-decision-sugar.html Learn more about your ad choices.

-What are the common characteristics of a codependummy email? (hint: we do too much!) -Why do we take so long to write certain emails to certain people to express certain needs? -How can you stop being such a codependummy emailer and start to email like a healthy interdependent codependiamond? In this episode, I take a deep dive into what and how a codependummy emails! I have a confession–I have been and am very codependent when it comes to sending and receiving EMAILS. I'm a codependummy emailer! I've wasted hours typing and deleting, sending and undoing, compulsively replying and ignoring those around me since I am codependent AF in my inbox. You'll hear me share the 8 characteristics of a codependummy email, including how we compose emails and what makes up our emails. I share an example of a codependummy email from my own life and then conclude with ways you can stop playing small and start taking up space in your inbox, ya dummy!

More deets on this week's episode: We begin, per usual, with our beloved check in. Next, we take a look at the 7 common characteristics I have found make-up the body of as well as the composition of a CODEPENDUMMY EMAIL! The common characteristics: We begin with niceties We do too much (offering too many times and too many choices) We do too little (as not to impose or intrude, we say “sometime next year?”) We apologize or at least sound apologetic (So sorry to ask but could you resend…) We add smiley faces, emojis, or gifs to help ease tension We take too long to write an email We follow-up when we don't hear back We respond too promptly I then take a deep dive into each characteristic by providing examples and answer WHY! Why do we begin with niceties? Why do we do too much? Why do we take too long to write an email? I spell out the details of the body of a codependummy email then the composition of said codependummy email. You'll hear me provide an anecdote from my own life when I engage in all (or most) of the common characteristics of a codependummy email: I began with niceties: Happy Monday! I did too much: offered multiple times to meet via brunch or lunch (when I was the invitee!) I was apologetic: I'm out of town [with added details/proof] the next several weeks. Can we plan on X date? No emojis so that's a relief I followed-up when he didn't respond! I took too long to write “no, I've changed my mind.” When I did sent my email, I think I threw my phone to the other couch and ran away. Why? AVOIDANCE OF CONFLICT. CONFLICT AVOIDANT. We conclude with some ways you can be an interdependent codependiamond when it comes to emails: Set a timer. Before you have to start an email conversation or when you have to respond, take a few breaths and discern “How much time ought to be dedicated to this email? 5 minutes? 10 minutes? 60 minutes?” Niceties are nice but not necessary. Provide 2-3 options. Period. Only apologize if you made a mistake or hurt someone. Emojis for enthusiasm! Only follow-up if you need to. Get feedback, input, and advice from trusted others when composing a stress-inducing email. Thank you for being here. Episode 83. That's a wrap! PLEASE R.R.S.S: Rate. Review. Subscribe. Share.

Mercury is entering Aries on Sunday! This stems the flow of demarcation from what is known as the mystery of the unknown. With the energy on Sunday, this will help you to define and pursue our desires with agility and understanding. Niceties can hurt productivity. “Clear communication is kind, unclear communication is unkind," says Dr. Brene Brown. A lot of nice communication is unkind. This energy with Aries will help with the clear communication and the ability to be kind. Straight talk leads to straight understanding. Good Risings is a mindset.

You can listen more on this matter in our previous episode with Arts Critic Jose Solís. You can read other (formerly known as reviews) I have done here: http://www.fromanother0.com/search?q=review. In this episode, we will talk about works happening in San Diego: The Niceties by Eleanor Burgess, a streaming presentation from Moxie Theatre.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Bookwaves Erik Larson, author of The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. Erik Larson is the author of several best-selling works of narrative non-fiction, including Dead Wake, In the Garden of Beasts and The Devil in the White City. His latest book takes us one year, from May 1940 to May 1941, a time which encompasses not only Winston Churchill's first year as Prime Minister of England, but also the Blitz, the often daily air raids by the Germans on London, Coventry and other cities, which began at the same time and ended almost to the day one year later. We follow the Churchill family's quotidian lives during that time, from watching to bombs to various wartime love affairs and break-ups, along with a look at how both the British and German governments worked during that year. In the interview, Erik Larson discusses his source material, and compares some of what went on then to what's happening today, particularly in terms of heroic and destitute patterns of leadership.

Taking us nearly from pole to pole–from modern megacities to some of the most remote regions on the earth–and across decades of lived experience, Barry Lopez, hailed by the Los Angeles Times Book Review as “one of our finest writers,” gives us his most far-ranging yet personal work to date, in a book that moves indelibly, immersively, through his travels to six regions of the world: from Western Oregon to the High Arctic; from the Galápagos to the Kenyan desert; from Botany Bay in Australia to finally, unforgettably, the ice shelves of Antarctica.

He resurfaced in the late 1990s as a Hollywood star in the film “My Best Friend's Wedding,” a period that lasted a short time before roles again dried up. Shortly afterward, he began working on a screenplay about Oscar Wilde's final years, which finally has reached the screen as “The Happy Prince. The film stars Rupert Everett, who also served as director and screenwriter. The Happy Prince is now available for STARZ subscribers as well as On Demand.

The Twelve Tribes of Hattie revolves around the matriarch of a black family of the Great Migration and her children and grandchildren, and was an Oprah Book Club selection. From the New York Times review: “Hattie Shepherd, the title character of Ayana Mathis's piercing debut novel, is at once a tragic heroine with mythic dimensions and an entirely recognizable mother and wife trying to make ends meet. Her story, set in 20th-century Philadelphia, is one of terrible loss and grief and survival, a story of endurance in the face of disappointment, heartbreak and harrowing adversity.” This was a debut novel.

Hey everybody! Today's episode is a new subpodcast for The Last Podcast, one that is produced in association with the New Hampshire Theatre Podcast. It's kind of new and we're still figuring it out. Not even sure if the name will stick! But it is a show about using art to create social change. Sometimes it might be connected to a current theatrical production, but sometimes it might not be! Like I said, still figuring it out. A normal episode of TLPZL is coming very soon! https://www.nhtheatreproject.org/ THE NICETIES closes this weekend.
Scorpio season is also all about connection, but it explores the truth and depth of relationship patterns and behaviors. What is the reason behind the interactions we have with one another? Is it out of an obligation to be seen as nice? Are the intersections of our identity requiring us to show up a particular way in a relationship with others and do these patterns still work for us? We explore all of this! To book a reading email youwomanyou.astro@gmail.com.

Today I am joined by playwright Eleanor Burgess for a conversation on her hit play The Niceties. The Niceties is everywhere this season—I just saw it last week in Milwaukee, but you can also find it in other major cities across the US and in London—and it is chock full of things to discuss. For anyone new to Burgess and her work, she grew up in Brookline, Massachusetts, studied history at Yale College, and has her M.F.A in Dramatic Writing from NYU. Her other plays include Chill, Start Down, These Dying Generations, and Mocha, and she is also writing for HBO's upcoming Perry Mason. But today we'll be talking about The Niceties, and if you don't know the play, that's okay. We won't really be talking about the play itself (which is better left unspoiled anyway), but about the subjects it covers, like race, history, and American progress—as well as the tremendous uncertainty that exists in any conversation on deep moral subjects like these. The Niceties tells a story about a white history professor meeting with an African American student at an unnamed prestigious university. As the professor challenges the conclusions of a paper the student has written, the women are soon swept up in an intense debate rooted in their vastly different perspectives on American history. I won't give away more about it than that, but I will say that it is such an accessible, yet excitingly intellectual play that I actually found it a bit trickier than usual to form interview questions on it. It's not that doesn't invite questions, but rather, it poses so many, and digs so directly into them, it was hard to know to begin without simply summarizing much of the play in the process. What we ended up with was a discussion focused on questions more than answers, and the importance of humility and understanding in a culture that so often prioritizes the loudest, most uncompromising voices. If you're feeling the fatigue of living in a country with a very polarized and often combative political climate, I think Burgess's openness and hope for more understanding will resonate with you. Is incremental progress something to celebrate or reject? Is the story of America one of great achievements or great injustices? And for a new parent like Burgess, how do you raise a child in such a morally complex world? We don't have all the answers, but Burgess serves as an excellent guide through these conundrums of American life.

What is Mercy? We sometimes equate it to forgive and forget, but it is more complicated than that. There are the Corporal works of Mercy and the Spiritual Works of Mercy. The Spiritual works of mercy should get us thinking a little more about the complexity of mercy. One of the works is “Admonish the Sinner” How is that merciful? There is also: To instruct the ignorant; To counsel the doubtful; To admonish sinners; To bear wrongs patiently; To forgive offenses willingly; To comfort the afflicted; To pray for the living and the dead. 4/28/19
7.8 out of 10 - Above Average! In this “barnburner of a play” (The Washington Post), two extraordinary women square off in a high-stakes academic debate over race, reputation and who gets the final word on how American history is written. When university professor Janine and her brilliant student Zoe don't see eye to eye, their routine office hours discussion unexpectedly careens off course—and threatens to derail their careers, lives and the status quo.

This week's podcast sees the guys look at Theresa May's speech on Brexit. Did it move the dial enough to provide a breakthrough in negotiations? In the first half they also review the legal text of phase one of the negotiations, focusing in on the border and the UK and Brussels reaction to it. The interview this week is with Ursula Ní Shabhaois, an Irish language activist. We hear why the Irish Language Act is holding up the restoration of the Northern Irish Assembly, whether a united Ireland is now on the agenda since Brexit, and whether or not the Common Travel Area will actually be retained post Brexit. See an annotated version of Theresa May's speech in the Financial Times here: https://ig.ft.com/may-brexit-speech-annotated/ And a draft of the EU legal text that we discussed in phase one here: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-18-1243_en.htm

Never mind the bollocks, here come the Supreme Court judges. Whatever your views on the Scottish constitution, you at least know now that our shiny devolved parliament may not amount to a large hill of beans when it comes to decision-making. The Supreme Court's decision to force the UK Government to put the triggering of Brexit negotiations with the European Union before Parliament was welcomed by many. But it was accompanied by a decision that the devolved legislatures of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales did not have to be consulted in any formal way. Although the decision was no shock to Scottish legal observers, it undermines the promises made in the Smith Commission report that provided the basis of the most recent Scotland Act which awarded more powers to Holyrood. Then, politicians assumed that the "Sewel Convention", by which the Scottish Parliament be consulted on issues concerning any changes to devolved matters, had been enshrined in law. The Supreme Court effectively ruled this week that this did not pertain to Brexit, effectively leaving all power in such matters to Westminster. What does this all mean, and should we be alarmed by it? Podcast host Derek Bateman turned to Andrew Tickell, political blogger and law lecturer, to find out more. They were joined by journalist and film-maker Maurice Smith as they chewed over all this and the week's other political events in Scotland, London and Washington.

For the 45th episode of the For A' That podcast, Andrew and I were joined by Pat Kane, who I'm sure doesn't need the introduction, and by Michelle Thomson from Business for Scotland.Our first topic was a discussion about some of the themes that Robin McAlpine hinted at in this article http://bellacaledonia.org.uk/2014/06/19/yes-together/ . Put simply, are the Yes side being too nice?Apart from that, the media was the hot topic this week. With protests against BBC bias going on outside their Scottish headquarters, what do we actually expect a state broadcaster to be doing in such an event? Furthermore, in an independent Scotland shouldn't we be trying to organise the media with a different model and if so, what should it look like?Will the big debate with Salmond V TBA (To Be Affronted) ever happen? Who knows? However, we tackled this issue from another angle by asking, quite frankly, what would be the point?There's all that and more in the new episode.Hope you enjoy...LINKShttp://lallandspeatworrier.blogspot.co.uk/http://michaelgreenwell.wordpress.com/https://twitter.com/MichelleThomsonhttps://twitter.com/thoughtlandhttps://twitter.com/PeatWorrierhttps://twitter.com/BizforScotlandhttps://twitter.com/mgreenwell
Join Anna K. as she chats it up with Tori Shaw. Young adult, crazy craft lady, re-inventor of self, Austin real estate agent, girl at heart - ever growing as each day is an uncharted mile on this walk of life. In my 30 years I have lived, loved, been loved, cried, laughed, learned that regret is the heaviest weight to carry and the hardest thing to put let go of, succeeded, rebelled, realized where home is, fallen, gotten up, been fooled more than once, done the fooling - more than once, been a guiding light to some, and a bad influence to others, finally come to terms with the fact that I actually don't know it all; but the greatest life lesson learned to-date was taught to my by my 19 year old sister, and that is, that we are only guaranteed right now, so don't put off what makes your "want to's", "will-do's" and what makes you happy until tomorrow because even if tomorrow comes for you, there is no promise that it will look the same as it did today. For me, creativity has always been my "happy". I want to find, fix, reinvent, and upcycle any and everything that has been left for dead; getting a literal thrill when I succeed in taking "one man's trash" and breathing new life into it for another to treasure. My online crafts shop, The Niceties of Life: Austin can be found on Facebook: www.facebook.com/thenicetiesoflifeaustin That is where you can keep up with my new Nicety creations any day of the week. You can also find me at the Austin Outdoor SoCo Market on South Congress - Like my TNoL facebook page and get notified of the Saturdays that I'll set up shop over there! My Niceties are always changing as I usually work with odds and ends that inspire me.
