00:47 A metadevice for faster electronicsIn the past, increasing the speeds of electronics required designing smaller components, but further reductions in size are being hampered by increasing resistance. To get around this, researchers have demonstrated a ‘metadevice', which prevents resistance building up by concentrating the flow of signals into specific regions of the device. The hope is that this meta-method could be used to create even smaller electrical components in the future.Research article: Nikoo & Matioli06:27 Research HighlightsHow waiting times for services are higher for people in the US with low incomes, and how your brain hears an alarm while you're asleep.Research Highlight: Who wastes more time waiting? Income plays a partResearch Highlight: Noise shatters deep sleep thanks to dedicated brain circuit08:52 The research gaps in social media's impact on teen mental healthIn the last ten years, levels of social media use and reported levels of mental health issues among adolescents have both increased. There is much concern that these trends are linked, but hard evidence has been hard to come by. So how can scientists get a better understanding of what's going on? In a Comment article for Nature, researchers argue that, rather than lumping ‘young people' into one homogeneous group, future studies should consider where they are in terms of their development, as this could influence the potential impacts of social media use.Comment: How social media affects teen mental health: a missing link19:52 Briefing ChatWe discuss some highlights from the Nature Briefing. This time, we discuss self-burying devices that can plant seeds in remote areas from the air, and scientists' reactions to a talk by CRISPR-baby researcher He Jiankui.Nature Video: This device corkscrews itself into the ground like a seedNature News: Disgraced CRISPR-baby scientist's ‘publicity stunt' frustrates researchers Hosted on Acast.

Can a dark & moody photo have white props? Can a dark photo also be bright?Is a moody photo always dark? What does dark & moody photography really mean?As food photographers we are visual storytellers and the most powerful way to tell a story is by creating a mood. Mood is the key to evoke emotions & make a viewer feel like they're present in that scene. But as powerful as mood is, creating a moody photo requires a good understanding of light..… Because think of it, what creates mood, really?Props and colors, yes but it is the light that makes us feel fresh or cozy or romantic or calm when we look at a photo.Today I have the phenomenal food photographer, Haniyeh Nikoo sharing everything and I mean everything, about dark and moody photography. Hani is a master at creating mood in photos & she talks about gear, how she creates beautiful moody light, common mistakes in dark & moody photography, the power of editing & instagram's response to dark moody photography.

Between when Haniyeh and I chatted in July and today's release date (October 6th), she has moved with her husband and small daughter to Berlin, Germany. When she left Iran a decade ago, she thought she was going abroad for a year. The plan was to earn a Masters in Photography in Strasburg, France, then to return to her homeland. Instead, she fell in love, married, and moved 6 times over the following 10 years - and when she looks at the facts, she knows it is not her destiny to settle anytime soon. All this moving, adjusting, and learning new languages has given Haniyeh a strength and perspective that few of us can claim. Most significantly for me personally, Haniyeh challenges me to reconsider and redefine the word “home”. For Haniyeh, home is a collection of mindfully chosen things, both immaterial and material. And of course, I'm sure you won't be surprised to hear that food holds a significant role in this curation, including the smoked eggplant dish she discusses from the place of her happiest memories, the North of Iran. Listen to Haniyeh Now Highlights of "What is Home" with Haniyeh Nikoo "It CAN be ok" Iran to France to Boston to Berkely to Manchester to Exeter to Berlin. 10 years. 3 languages (and 2 versions of English!)

Vi har tagit oss igenom 100 filmer, det är ganska fantastiskt! Men det här podcasttåget har inga bromsar så det kommer mera. I vårt först tresiffriga poddavsnitt så bjuder vi in Nikoo från "Romancepodden" för att prata om Sixten. Vilket såg ut att vara den mest romantiska av alla VHS:er jag har köpt. Det visade sig vara ett ganska felaktigt antagande, men filmen var bra, och ibland förtjänar vi ju att se något som inte är förfärligt. Nu börjar vi jobba mot avsnitt 200. Det kommer bli skoj.

Alternativ titel: Ancient Greek Steampunk. Nikoo och Melody har bokklubb och pratar om A Promise Of Fire - magi, kärlek, och lite barnsligt fnissiga namn. Dessutom den inre monologens omöjlighet och mycket annat gött.

WHOOH. Vi följer upp sommarlov med ett flergenrigt triple threat. Vi snackar Jurassic World, sommarens mest besvikande blockbuster-reboot (ja, det finns ju fler); Far from the Madding Crowd, romcom i klassiskt seg Thomas Hardy-stil; och Magic Mike XXL, filmen som vi haft mest skiljande åsikter om i LPPP:s historia. Det är gött att vara tillbaka! […]
Lilla podden följer upp med epic megastyle-podd. Dvs. vi dissekerar nya Avengers: Age of Ultron och the fail that is Black Widow’s rollfigur. Melody vidhåller att hon fortfarande älskar Marvel och Joss Whedon trots rätt så massiva felsteg i AOU, Nikoo är mest skeptisk till allt. Så det mesta är i vanlig ordning. Utöver dunderfilm […]
Oi! Lilla podden på prärien tar den långväga resan till London! Det innefattar pimmsfylla, star spotting på Drury Lane, överraskande mycket Bendytooting+Hiddlestoning och en liten genomgång av Melodys väldigt otympliga kur för sin arbetslöshetsångest i höstas. Ovanpå det snackar vi även om rådjur och råa djur i Japan. Pöss! http://archive.org/download/lillapodden/LPPP17_30042015.WAV
Lilla podden firar Galentines Day i helgjuten stil med en run-down av årets största BLECH-rulle, Fifty shades of Grey. Vi kör även en handy dandy uppföljare till vår förra regency romance-podd, denna gång med mer moderna (läs: SNUSKIGA) utgåvor inom genren. Det hela går ju från skoj till ABSOFUCKING AMAZING med vår ärade gäst, illustratören, […]
Lilla podden på prärien kör repris på kärt ämne och bjuder på gammal konst. Vi har sett The Hobbit: Battle of the five armies och värmt upp våra svärdarmar. Men inte innan Melody kräkts hat över Ridley Scotts senaste sämstverk “Exodus: Gods and kings” och RDJ:s nya Oscarsrunkare “The Judge” i dryga 40 minuter. Vi […]
Vi firar regelbundenhet i poddflödet med fancy gäst och kompenserar för tolvans korta podd med ett extra långt avsnitt. I dag har vi bjudit in Melodys vän, dramaturgen och Moviezine-skribenten Fabian Nordlander. Hans nerd-fu är stark inom allt som heter superhjältar och filmbransch, sjukt praktiskt eftersom vi tänkte snacka superhjältekultur och recensera Christopher Nolans vetenskapskåta […]
Vi är för omväxlingsskull snabba på bollen med nästa podd. Det må kanske bero på att vi fått lite bekräftelse från random lyssnare. Kanske inte. Vi är inga bekräftelsehoror, nej, nej. Denna ljuva gång bjuder vi på miniavsnitt (dvs. EN ENDASTE LITEN TIMME) med reflektioner över den precis sedda filmen The Imitation Game, där allas […]
Nikoo och jag dissar popkulturen över en afton och snackar bruna saker. Alltså: Identitet, exotifiering, ras-begrepp och allsköns grejer vi tänkt på i egenskap av semiprivilegierade iraniersvenskar. Poddkonst för dagen är typ en dekonstruerad bild av hur vi ser på nidbildskonst. Kasst med andra ord. Och nej, det har inte alls att göra med att […]
Lilla Podden bryter hiatus med Marvels sommarblockbuster och Fassbenders bästa film där han visar varken kuken eller ansiktet. Förbered er på mycket hat och rörliga åsikter. Kram! http://archive.org/download/lillapodden/LPPP_10.mp3
Efter lång paus återkommer vi med ett avsnitt om senaste X-Men-rullen och sommarpepp. Nikoo är arg, Melody är kommer inte ihåg några namn, vi snackar skymtande penisar. Så allt är mer eller mindre back to basics. Något längre avsnitt än vanligt, men låt gå. Puss på er. http://ia601006.us.archive.org/12/items/lillapodden/Lppp_93.mp3
We were blessed to have our guest speaker Mary Nikoo, bring us to a reflective and challenging moment, as we listened to her words speaking to us.
