Richard Sparks joins the show to explore the rich intersection between fantasy storytelling and modern gaming, offering insights drawn from his work as a fantasy author, comedy writer, and lifelong gamer. He shares how immersive game worlds—especially sprawling RPGs like Elder Scrolls Online—have influenced his approach to worldbuilding in the New Rock series, where layered histories and interactive-style environments bring his settings to life. Sparks explains how gaming has reshaped audience expectations, pushing writers to create worlds that feel explorable, dynamic, and alive.The conversation dives into the roots of fantasy itself, tracing inspiration back to Old English hero epics and mythological traditions that continue to shape creature design and narrative tone today. Sparks discusses how these ancient archetypes found modern expression in works like The Lord of the Rings, and how he adapts those influences into fresh, engaging creations. By blending the familiar with the unexpected, he builds creatures and cultures that resonate with readers while still offering something new.A major focus of the episode is character development, particularly the balance between relatability and humor. Sparks emphasizes the importance of writing characters who feel human—even in fantastical settings—and how comedy can make them more accessible. He explains how witty dialogue and grounded reactions help readers connect emotionally, even when the story involves dragons, magic, or epic quests.The discussion also highlights Sparks' approach to the classic Hero's Journey, showing how he uses its structure as a foundation while still allowing room for subversion and humor. Rather than treating the framework as rigid, he views it as a guide that can be adapted to suit modern audiences. This flexibility enables him to maintain narrative momentum while surprising readers along the way.Sparks reflects on his journey as an author, offering encouragement to aspiring writers who may feel intimidated by the competitive publishing landscape. He speaks candidly about the challenges of breaking in and the importance of persistence, creativity, and finding one's unique voice. His story reinforces the idea that new authors still have a place—and a chance to succeed—if they remain committed to their craft.Wrapping up, the episode paints a compelling picture of how fantasy and gaming continue to influence each other in meaningful ways. From worldbuilding and character design to narrative structure and humor, Sparks demonstrates that the overlap between these mediums creates exciting opportunities for storytellers. Whether you're a writer, gamer, or fan of fantasy, this conversation offers inspiration and practical insight into crafting engaging, imaginative worlds.

Do you believe fairies really exist? Most of us grew up with fairy folklore, from the stories passed down through generations to pop culture icons like Tinkerbell in Peter Pan and Return to Never Land. Fairies have long captured the human imagination, but what if they're more than myth?Fairies are said to originate from the Fae realm, an overlapping dimension that exists alongside our own, inhabited by a wide range of beings including Sasquatch, gnomes, trolls, leprechauns, and more. Today I sit down with Laurel Lehman, an Elemental Realm Oracle and facilitator at Lightbody Academy, who has cultivated an extensive, ongoing relationship with these beings over many years.More and more people are beginning to see and experience elemental beings, and in this episode we explore why this is happening now, and what it means for humanity's relationship with nature and other realms.Laurel shares her screen and walks us through live footage of real fairies and Fae beings she has captured on camera. Until seeing it myself, I was open to the possibility, but I never imagined these beings could actually be filmed. You'll have to see it to believe it.This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Where to find Laurel: Website: lightbodyacademy.comElemental Realm Portal (free videos + others' experiences): lightbodyacademy.com → scroll to green rectangleForest Wisdom Circle: Free monthly event, 1st Thursday, 10am MSTPrivate sessions available for processing Fae or Sasquatch experiencesCourse: The Real World of Fairies — Photographing the Unseen RealmsSend us Fan MailSupport the showLove the show?

rWotD Episode 3251: Domain decomposition methods Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Sunday, 29 March 2026, is Domain decomposition methods.In mathematics, numerical analysis, and numerical partial differential equations, domain decomposition methods solve a boundary value problem by splitting it into smaller boundary value problems on subdomains and iterating to coordinate the solution between adjacent subdomains. A coarse problem with one or few unknowns per subdomain is used to further coordinate the solution between the subdomains globally. The problems on the subdomains are independent, which makes domain decomposition methods suitable for parallel computing. Domain decomposition methods are typically used as preconditioners for Krylov space iterative methods, such as the conjugate gradient method, GMRES, and LOBPCG.In overlapping domain decomposition methods, the subdomains overlap by more than the interface. Overlapping domain decomposition methods include the Schwarz alternating method and the additive Schwarz method. Many domain decomposition methods can be written and analyzed as a special case of the abstract additive Schwarz method.In non-overlapping methods, the subdomains intersect only on their interface. In primal methods, such as Balancing domain decomposition and BDDC, the continuity of the solution across subdomain interface is enforced by representing the value of the solution on all neighboring subdomains by the same unknown. In dual methods, such as FETI, the continuity of the solution across the subdomain interface is enforced by Lagrange multipliers. The FETI-DP method is hybrid between a dual and a primal method.Non-overlapping domain decomposition methods are also called iterative substructuring methods.Mortar methods are discretization methods for partial differential equations, which use separate discretization on nonoverlapping subdomains. The meshes on the subdomains do not match on the interface, and the equality of the solution is enforced by Lagrange multipliers, judiciously chosen to preserve the accuracy of the solution. In the engineering practice in the finite element method, continuity of solutions between non-matching subdomains is implemented by multiple-point constraints.Finite element simulations of moderate size models require solving linear systems with millions of unknowns. Several hours per time step is an average sequential run time, therefore, parallel computing is a necessity. Domain decomposition methods embody large potential for a parallelization of the finite element methods, and serve a basis for distributed, parallel computations.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:10 UTC on Sunday, 29 March 2026.For the full current version of the article, see Domain decomposition methods on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm generative Jasmine.

Send us Fan MailMany veterinarians build wealth using mutual funds, but once a portfolio grows into the seven‑figure range, the hidden challenges begin. Taxes you didn't expect. Overlapping holdings you didn't realize you owned. Lack of customization. And far less control than your financial life now requires.In this episode, CJ and Tom break down why mutual funds are often great when you're just getting started—but may cause major hurdles once your portfolio exceeds $1M. You'll learn how taxes can quietly erode wealth, why diversification isn't always what it seems, and how high‑net‑worth investors can regain control by structuring their investments with more precision.Smarter Vet Podcast-https://flveterinaryadvisors.com/smarter-vet-financial-podcast/Watch the no cost 5-part video course to review your finances and see where you could be doing better in your finances: 5 Foundational Steps to Financial Balance Video Course-http://series.flvetadvisors.com/Find out what you could be overlooking within your practice by taking our brief assessment: Test My Personal Financial IQ-https://flveterinaryadvisors.com/personal-test/Sign up for a complimentary phone call to talk about how to get better use of all the cash inside your practice: Schedule a time-https://flveterinaryadvisors.com/contact-usInstagram-https://www.instagram.com/flveterinaryadvisors/ Facebook-https://facebook.com/flvetadvisors LinkedIn-https://linkedin.com/company/flvetadvisors YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/@floridaveterinaryadvisors7665

Why Complex Portfolios Underperform Simple Ones Most investors believe that more complexity leads to better results. More funds, more strategies, more adjustments. But the data shows the opposite. In this episode, I break down why complex portfolios consistently underperform and how simplicity leads to better long term outcomes. We walk through SPIVA data on active managers, research on investor behavior, and studies showing how fees, turnover, and strategy switching quietly destroy returns. We also discuss why asset allocation matters far more than individual fund selection and how simple index based strategies remove the biggest risks investors face. If you are tired of second guessing your portfolio or constantly trying to optimize, this episode will give you a clearer path forward. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 Why complexity hurts returns 01:30 Active managers vs index funds 04:00 Overlapping investments 06:30 Trading and turnover impact 08:30 Fee compounding 10:30 Asset allocation explained 12:30 Strategy switching mistakes 14:30 Why simplicity works 16:00 A better approach Key Takeaways • Most active funds underperform over time • Overlapping funds reduce diversification • Trading more reduces returns • Fees compound against you • Asset allocation drives most outcomes • Simple systems outperform complex ones Quotables "The market does not reward complexity. It rewards patience." "More decisions create more mistakes." "If complexity created returns, Wall Street would win every time." If your portfolio feels complicated, that might be the problem. Simplify. Automate. Stay consistent.

In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, Hallie is serving up some real talk about IEP goal writing—and it might just change the way you look at your entire caseload. If you've ever stared at a goal and thought, wait, why am I even working on this? This one's for you. Hallie introduces the “so what?” test—the one question you should be asking before you write any goal—and breaks down what functional actually means for different students. She's covering how to write curriculum-linked goals without crossing into ELA territory, how to squeeze more mileage out of every session, and why our role as SLPs is way more powerful than we sometimes give ourselves credit for.Bullet Points to Discuss: Why not every language skill on an assessment is worth targeting in therapy.The “so what?” test: the one question that should guide every goal you write.How to define “functional” based on the individual student in front of you.Writing curriculum-linked goals the SLP way—without becoming the ELA teacher.How to use one resource across a mixed group and hit every student's goal at once.Here's what we learned: If you can't answer “so what?” clearly and confidently, that goal might be more fluff than function.Functional isn't one-size-fits-all—a college-bound student needs self-advocacy; a life-skills student needs to know how to tell the bus driver where they're going.Overlapping with academics is fine—just do it through a language lens, not a reteaching one.One good goal can target syntax, vocabulary, comprehension, and organization all at once. Therapy charcuterie board—one activity, all the skills, everyone eats.We're not tutors and we're not ELA teachers—we're the language experts. Writing functional goals is how we step into that power.Learn more about Hallie Sherman and SLP Elevate:  

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching courtrooms turn into battlegrounds, but here we are in early March 2026, and the trials involving Donald Trump are heating up like never before. Just days ago, on March 4, the federal election interference case kicked off in Washington, D.C., under U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan. Special Counsel Jack Smith, leading the charge, accuses Trump of a criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 election results—think fake electors, pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to alter the vote count, and pushing sham investigations through the Justice Department, all while the January 6 riot unfolded at the Capitol. Trump pleaded not guilty back in 2023, calling it political persecution, but now, with jury selection underway, his legal team, including attorneys John Lauro and Todd Blanche, is fighting tooth and nail.Flash back to that tense August 2023 hearing where it all ramped up. Trump's lawyers begged Judge Chutkan for an April 2026 start date—ironically, just weeks from now—citing 11.6 million pages of discovery evidence, everything from National Archives documents to Truth Social posts and House January 6 Committee transcripts. They claimed it was like reviewing stacks as tall as eight Washington Monuments, and rushing it would be a miscarriage of justice, denying Trump effective counsel. Lauro even accused Smith of turning it into a show trial. But Chutkan shot that down, setting March 4, 2024, as the date, saying it balanced preparation time with the public's right to a speedy trial. She told Lauro point-blank, you're not getting two more years. Prosecutors like Molly Gaston pushed back hard, noting 65% of those pages were duplicates or already public, with key docs front-loaded for quick review.It's not just D.C. Overlapping chaos: In New York, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's hush money case, tied to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election, was slated for late March 2024 but has dragged with appeals. Down in Georgia, Fulton County DA Fani Willis wants Trump and co-defendants like Rudy Giuliani, Mark Meadows, and David Shafer in court over 41 counts of election interference—her team requested March 4, 2024, too. And don't forget Florida's classified documents mess at Mar-a-Lago, where Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, pushed it to May 2024. Trump's strategy? Delay, delay, delay—hoping a 2024 win lets him pardon himself on federal charges, though state cases like New York's and Georgia's are bulletproof.These past few days, whispers from ABC News and Courthouse News suggest sealed proceedings from 2022-2023 are resurfacing, with Trump's team fighting grand jury testimony from 14 witnesses. Politico reported the stark clash: Smith gunning for January 2024, Trump eyeing post-election limbo. As of today, March 6, the D.C. trial's in full swing, witnesses lining up, and Trump's Truth Social rants risking contempt under Chutkan's protective order against inflammatory statements. The stakes? Subverting democracy versus a former president's right to a fair shot. History's watching every gavel bang.Thanks for tuning in, listeners.

When someone dies, there's a script.When you get divorced, there isn't.No ritual.No defined role.No socially approved space to grieve someone who is still alive.In this episode, we unpack why divorce grief is neurologically and socially different from death — and why so many women feel stuck for years without understanding why.We talk about:The three ways divorce grief disrupts the nervous systemWhy “stages of grief” don't fully apply hereThe self-esteem hit that makes you ask, “Why wasn't I enough?”Why many support groups validate you… but don't actually help you healAnd we introduce something deeper — what we mean when we say divorce grief is quantum.Not mystical. Not abstract.Layered. Overlapping. Entangled.Your past self, your present body, and your future identity are all grieving at once. Your nervous system is still wired to seek comfort from the person you're trying to let go of.Divorce grief doesn't move in stages.It moves in waves.There may be no meal train for this kind of loss.But you don't have to grieve it alone.If this episode resonated, your next step is simple: don't stay isolated in it.Join us inside the Cocoon community in the Heartbeat app, come to a Cocoon Connect, or take one deeper step into your healing.Because this kind of grief doesn't resolve with time...It resolves with support.We'll meet you there.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MyCoachDawnInstagram: (@dawnwiggins)Instagram: (@coachtiffini)On the Web: https://www.mycoachdawn.comA podcast exploring the journey of life after divorce, delving into topics like divorce grief, loneliness, anxiety, manifesting, the impact of different attachment styles and codependency, setting healthy boundaries, energy healing with homeopathy, managing the nervous system during divorce depression, understanding the stages of divorce grief, and using the Law of Attraction and EMDR therapy in the process of building your confidence, forgiveness and letting go.Support the show✨Join the Cocoon Community - your people are waiting! ✨

Episode 56 of The Nextflow Podcast (March 2026) focuses on pipeline chaining and meta pipelines in Nextflow, with guests Ben Sherman and Edmund Miller. The episode was split into two parts: this first part surveys current solutions, while part two will cover future Nextflow language changes. The discussion defines meta pipelines as importing pipelines (e.g., nf-core/rnaseq) as subworkflows to form one DAG with parallelization and full resume, versus pipeline chaining using external orchestration to run Pipeline A then feed outputs to Pipeline B. They cover obstacles to meta pipelines in nf-core, including tooling, parameter/config clashes, and tight coupling of pipeline code and configuration. Current chaining approaches include bash/Makefiles, Python, Seqera Platform APIs, nf-cascade (running Nextflow inside Nextflow), wrapping Nextflow with Snakemake, and automation/orchestration tools like Node-RED, n8n, Dagster, and Temporal, including event-driven patterns on AWS.00:00 Nextflow Podcast, Episode 5600:08 Welcome01:42 Introduction to meta pipelines and pipeline chaining05:01 What makes importing pipelines difficult?06:55 CLI tooling to import pipelines09:13 Overlapping config scopes10:53 Subworkflows or pipelines?12:38 Pipeline chaining13:36 nf-cascade16:42 Nextflow in Snakemake22:26 Automating Nextflow runs24:10 Event-driven bioinformatics26:32 Node-RED + Seqera30:40 Node-RED flexibility33:45 Glue code35:31 Other automation frameworks37:02 Bioinformatics pipelines vs. ETL workflows38:56 Tangent: What makes Nextflow special44:11 Dagster automation demo47:29 Temporal automation demo51:13 Wrap up

Across Europe, local states are in a dire predicament, experiencing the consequences of austerity cuts, shortage of staff as well as a lack of trust in (local) government. Overlapping crises such as climate change, military conflicts and displacement, precarious provisions of public services, the production of so-called left-behind spaces and the rise of the far right pose severe challenges to its institutions – on various scales and across a wide range of sectors. This situation has sparked seemingly paradoxical developments. In some contexts, it has evoked the loss of legitimacy of democratic institutions and authoritarian takeover, while in other cases the local state is becoming an arena for progressive statecraft tailored at social justice and sustainability. Much is being written on these authoritarian and progressive tendencies. In two episodes on the transformation of the local state, we want to complicate binary thinking that can be quick to romanticise progressive local institutions or paint a homogenous picture of authoritarian situations. Paying close attention to the intricacies of the local state, we want to draw attention to its inherent contradictions and frictions by asking: How does progressivism and authoritarianism play out in the everyday processes of the local state? What are the grey spaces where they might overlap and even coproduce each other? What power relations shape these processes? Both episodes are hosted by Matthias Naumann and Gala Nettelbladt. In the first episode, moderated by Ross Beveridge, we discuss authoritarian developments in local statehood with Harriet Dunn, Crispian Fuller and Theo Temple.

The Sacred Overlap Part 1

Send us a textPeaches runs a solo Daily Drop Ops Brief and walks through a dense slate of defense news the internet is already misunderstanding. From the Army opening an enlisted space operations career track to Air Force debates over AI in the cockpit, munitions production modernization, and realistic BMT training ranges, this episode is all about overlap, scale, and tradeoffs. Peaches breaks down why duplicated capabilities exist across services, where AI helps pilots—and where it scares them—and why space superiority, Indo-Pacific command, and industrial base health matter more than headlines. Add in Coast Guard icebreakers in Antarctica, National Guard deployment costs, a deadly DC air collision, Venezuela fallout, and China's total-war strategy—and you've got a grounded look at what's actually shaping U.S. military readiness.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and Daily Drop setup 01:30 OTS 2026 event rundown 03:00 Army opens enlisted space ops track 05:00 Overlapping service capabilities explained 06:30 AI in cockpits—helpful vs dangerous 09:00 Army munitions production modernization 10:30 Marine Corps leadership in Japan 11:40 Air Force BMT realism and training ranges 13:00 Electronic warfare jet debuts in Europe 14:30 Space Force SWORD platform explained 15:45 Commercial firms in classified space war games 17:30 Coast Guard icebreaker frees trapped cruise ship 19:00 National Guard deployment costs context 21:00 DC Black Hawk midair collision findings 22:45 Venezuela operation and Marco Rubio briefing 25:00 Middle East posture and allied airspace limits 27:00 China's “total war” strategy and Taiwan focus 29:00 U.S.–Philippines patrols and Japan alliance talks 31:00 Final thoughts and wrap-up

We are approximately one year into Trump 2.0, where the administration has dismantled the systems we have worked to build. Civil rights offices have been gutted, DEI programs paused or eliminated, data erased, and enforcement mechanisms present behind-the-scenes. Meanwhile, the decimation of USAID and the de-prioritization of global health have led to a radically different foreign policy architecture and the closure of health clinics, service disruption, and the shutdown of community organizations abroad. Gayatri Patel and Preston Mitchum, Senior Fellows with rePROs Fight Back, sit down to talk with us about attacks to LGBTQI+ rights and gender, and how these attacks intersect.Attacks on gender equality have been front and center, as evidenced by the early release and adoption of Project 2025. This is, of course, exacerbated by attacking DEI and inclusion. From the federal to the state level, all-out assaults on gender equality, transgender health and rights, and sexual and reproductive health and rights continues. Attacks on LGBTQI+ issues are insidiously persistent. This includes the restriction of access to gender affirming care, the banning of transgender people from school sports, and the stripping of inclusive terms from federal guidance. Black and brown LGBTQI+ people, especially those dealing with poverty, immigration systems, or disability, are disproportionately feeling the rollbacks in rights. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Buy rePROs Merch: Bonfire store Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

"What is this a crossover episode???" Yes, listeners, it is! This week, Esther and Erin are featuring an episode of the Heritage Words podcast, featuring friend of the pod Sarah Benor and Raphael Bob-Waksberg, creator of Bojack Horseman and Long Story Short. The bagels spoke to RBW earlier this year about creating the most Jewy show on TV.  In this episode, RBW discusses his Ashkenazi roots, exposure to Yiddish in pop culture, and how sharing specificity allows audiences to find universal connections. You can find Heritage Words anywhere you listen to podcasts. It's sponsored by the HUC Jewish Language Project and HUC Connect.      

We're doing Scrum. Why does everything take so long to finish?For many teams, delivery bogs down because of the way individuals approach the work itself.Most teams are still working in a sequence: one person finishes their part, hands it off, and then the next person begins. Designers wait for analysis to finish. Developers wait for designs. Testers wait for the code to be done. Everyone's optimizing for their own efficiency — but the team as a whole slows down.That might feel to individuals like the “right” way to work, but it comes with real costs: Mistakes go unnoticed until late in the process — and keep happening until then.Too much work is started toward the end of the sprint, creating bottlenecks and delays, which means features take longer to reach your users, and feedback takes longer to reach the team.Time to market, or time to value, is extended.Even when teams are doing “agile” on the surface, these large handoffs are the opposite of how an agile team works.To deliver value quickly, team members have to learn to stop waiting for someone else to finish before they start–in other words, they need to overlap work.When one type of task looks like it's dependent on another type of task, teams accustomed to overlapping work find ways to begin the second task before the first is completed. Coders start coding while the designer is still designing. Testers start creating tests even while the coder is coding.Why do teams cling to this outdated way of working?When teams first try working this way, many team members resist it. They're used to holding on to their work until it's perfect and “ready.” They might find the idea of overlapping work to be too messy and inefficient.Consider, for example, a tester. To be as efficient as possible, this tester would like to begin testing only after coding is complete. To test any earlier risks repeating work by re-running, or even re-designing, tests.What these team members need to realize is that optimizing for the efficiency of any one role prolongs the amount of time it takes to complete each new feature. Overlapping work is key to working in an agile way.For example, imagine that a developer is building a search results page for an eCommerce site. The page allows users to filter results by product attributes such as size, color, and more. Results can also be sorted by price, popularity, rating, and so on. If a programmer develops all of that before handing it over to a tester then no work has overlapped.If, however, the programmer handed it to the tester in pieces then testing could overlap with programming. The programmer could, for example, provide the tester with a version of the page without filtering or sorting. While a tester checks that, the developer adds filtering by size. Then color. Then sorting. The work overlaps — and everything moves faster.Two simple ways to encourage this way of working:Ask teams to shrink task size. Breaking big tasks into bite-sized pieces makes it easier for roles to overlap and collaborate. As handoffs get smaller, collaboration gets easier.Try swarming. Swarming is an extreme form of overlapping work that helps teams learn to let go of a “my work, your work” mindset and sequential “finish-to-start” mentality. When a team swarms, the whole team focuses on just one (or maybe two) items at a time.I'm not suggesting swarming as a long-term solution or the optimal way to work. It's a temporary, artificial constraint on work in process designed to force teams to find new ways to collaborate and move faster together. The goal is to remove the limit later, and have team members continue to apply the lessons they learned when they were forced to over-collaborate.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] ⁠https://www.agiledad.com/⁠- [instagram] ⁠https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/⁠- [facebook] ⁠https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/⁠- [Linkedin] ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

Movie of the Year: 1971McCabe and Mrs. MillerMcCabe and Mrs Miller and the Birth of the Revisionist WesternIn this episode of Movie of the Year, Ryan, Greg, and Mike dive into McCabe and Mrs Miller, one of the most enduring and atmospheric films of the 1970s. Hailed as a defining entry in The Revisionist Western, Robert Altman's subversive frontier tale reshaped the genre with its melancholy tone, snowy landscapes, and the unforgettable chemistry of Beatty and Christie.More than 50 years later, McCabe and Mrs Miller still captivates audiences with its blending of realism, capitalism, romance, and tragedy. The Taste Buds explore how the film dismantles the myth of the cowboy and replaces it with something far more human — and far more haunting.McCabe and Mrs Miller and the Evolution of The Revisionist WesternAs one of the foundational films of The Revisionist Western, McCabe and Mrs Miller stands in opposition to classic Hollywood frontier mythology. Instead of rugged heroes conquering the wilderness, Altman gives us a world where power is fragile, capitalism is violent, and survival depends less on grit and more on negotiation, luck, and vulnerability.The Taste Buds analyze how the film:challenges Western tropes through vulnerability instead of bravadoreplaces heroic gunfights with corporate brutalityforegrounds community, compromise, and human frailtyuses McCabe's tragic arc to critique capitalist expansionThis isn't the West as legend — it's the West as lived experience.Robert Altman and Gordon Willis: Sound, Snow, and Cinematic SubversionMcCabe and Mrs Miller bears the unmistakable imprint of Robert Altman, whose improvisational direction and overlapping soundscape helped reinvent American cinema in the 1970s. Working with cinematographer Gordon Willis, known for his moody, shadow-rich images, Altman transforms the Western into a dreamlike, fog-drenched meditation.The Taste Buds highlight how Altman and Willis shape the film's signature aesthetic:Overlapping dialogue and naturalistic sound that create a bustling, lived-in communityDiffused, foggy lighting and filters that give the film its iconic “sepia snowdream” lookLong, drifting shots that emphasize the vulnerability of characters lost in a harsh landscapeLeonard Cohen's mournful soundtrack, underscoring the film's quiet despairAltman and Willis built not just a Western — but a world.Beatty and Christie: The Heart of McCabe and Mrs MillerAt the emotional center of the film are Warren Beatty and Julie Christie, whose complex, understated dynamic elevates McCabe and Mrs Miller into something approaching tragic romance.The Taste Buds explore:Beatty's portrayal of McCabe as a man confused by his own legendChristie's luminous, grounded performance as Mrs. Miller — the true brains of the operationThe subversion of the “cowboy and madam” tropeTheir crackling chemistry and the off-screen relationship that deepened their on-screen connectionTogether, Beatty and Christie redefine intimacy within the Western genre, offering partnership instead of power fantasy.Themes of McCabe and Mrs Miller: Capitalism, Community, and ControlRyan, Greg, and Mike unpack the themes that give McCabe and Mrs Miller its enduring...

In this long-anticipated episode, host Peter Bauman (Le Random's editor in chief) speaks with one of the most exciting duos in contemporary digital culture, Ann Hirsch and Maya Man. They cover their collaborative projects, Ugly Bitches and Little Darlings, which explore online gender performativity. We discuss the works in relation to the so-called "vibe shift" of the 2020s. The artists also discuss how their work, often using GANs and other AI technologies, counteracts the "girl boss" rhetoric of early 2020s NFT projects by presenting a more flawed, nuanced, and sincere depiction of both femininity and masculinity. They detail how UB uses intentionally distorted AI dolls to comment on female failure, while LD employs shinier AI imagery to critique the "hustle grind gain success" male influencer culture. Finally, the conversation touches upon their admiration for, and points of departure from, the "Gay NFT" or Avant Schizocollage scene, with the artists expressing an interest in "ironic sincerity" in their work.Monday's Editorial with Jess Tucker: https://www.lerandom.art/editorial/jess-tucker-on-longing-for-a-faceChapters

As interest grows in the therapeutic potential of ketogenic diets for bipolar disorder, careful attention must be given to drug-diet interactions. Overlapping mechanisms between therapeutic ketosis and mood-stabilizing agents may offer opportunities for synergistic effects, but may also introduce risks related to altered pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and additive toxicities. In this podcast, Dina N. Ali, MD, and Jonathan Leung, PharmD, discuss the complex picture of trying to optimize treatment outcomes while many research questions are yet to be answered.

New @greenpillnet season out now!

In this episode of Hack Your Own PR, Odette Barry is joined by Lucinda McKimm, journalist-turned-podcaster, producer, and co-host of Ready or Not. Lucinda has built one of Australia's most dynamic podcasts exploring the collision of motherhood, career, and feminism. With her background in sports media and branded content at Cricket Australia, plus years of freelancing and yoga teaching on the side, she brings both grit and creativity to a rapidly growing platform that now spans three weekly shows. We dive into the reality of producing high-calibre, independent content while raising kids, setting boundaries in business partnerships, and why personalisation matters more than ever when pitching to Ready or Not. On Hack Your Own PR, we unpack the art and science of media relations, publicity, and storytelling so you can DIY PR, amplify your voice, and share your message. In this episode, Lucinda breaks down: Her journey from journalism student to Cricket Australia, then into podcasting during parental leave How Ready or Not evolved from an interview series into three shows a week (Ready or Not, Witching Hour, and Ask Ready or Not) What it takes to run a podcast brand at professional standard while balancing freelancing and parenting How she and co-host Loz divide roles, manage workflows, and set boundaries (including "no WhatsApp on Wednesdays") The importance of diversity in guest selection and why she actively seeks different motherhood and career stories What makes for a great pitch, and the red flags that guarantee a "no" Key Takeaways: A strong pitch balances both story and audience: either a killer narrative or an engaged following (ideally both). Tailoring matters — if you've never listened to Ready or Not and send a generic pitch, you won't get far. Guests who amplify their own episode can drive as many downloads as "big name" talent. Honesty and openness make for the most compelling conversations — you don't need to have lived through tragedy to tell a meaningful story. Boundaries protect creativity and longevity: clear roles, set days for work, and rules about when not to message are part of their survival strategy. What to Avoid: Spray-and-pray press releases with no reference to Ready or Not's themes or audience. Long, attached PDFs — put the essentials in the email body. Overlapping pitches during book tours without disclosing where else the guest is appearing. Ignoring the importance of story amplification post-release. This episode is a candid masterclass in independent podcasting, building a brand with integrity, and pitching to a show that's fiercely loved by mums navigating the messy middle of ambition and motherhood. This episode is a masterclass in live TV pitching, producer relationships, and how to turn a great story into a compelling segment on Australia's breakfast screens.

Genetic genealogy is a field that combines traditional genealogy research with modern DNA testing techniques to trace familial relationships and ancestry through genetic information. It involves analyzing an individual's DNA to uncover their genetic heritage, connect with distant relatives, and map out family trees. This approach has gained significant popularity due to advancements in DNA sequencing technology, particularly in the form of direct-to-consumer DNA testing kits.Here's how genetic genealogy works and how it's used by investigators:DNA Testing: Individuals interested in exploring their genetic heritage and family history can submit their DNA samples through services provided by companies like AncestryDNA, 23andMe, and MyHeritageDNA. These companies analyze specific segments of the submitted DNA to identify genetic markers that are common among different populations and individuals.Genetic Markers: Certain sections of the DNA, particularly those found in the Y chromosome (passed from father to son) and the mitochondrial DNA (passed from mother to all offspring), contain genetic markers that can be used to identify ancestral lineages. Autosomal DNA, which is inherited from both parents, is also examined to find matches with other individuals in the testing company's database.Matching and Comparison: Testing companies compare an individual's genetic markers with those of other users in their databases. If two individuals share a significant amount of genetic material, they are considered genetic matches. The more segments of DNA they share, the closer their relationship is likely to be.Building Family Trees: Genetic genealogy involves constructing family trees using a combination of traditional genealogical research and the information gained from DNA matches. By connecting with other users who share segments of DNA, individuals can extend their family trees and discover new branches of their lineage.Identifying Common Ancestors: As more people participate in DNA testing, the chances of finding common ancestors increase. Overlapping segments of shared DNA can help identify specific ancestors or ancestral groups that are shared among related individuals.Forensic and Investigative Applications: Genetic genealogy has also found applications in criminal investigations. Law enforcement agencies have used DNA databases to identify unknown perpetrators of crimes like murder and sexual assault. In cases where traditional investigative methods have been unsuccessful, investigators can upload DNA profiles from crime scenes to genealogy databases and identify potential relatives of the suspect based on shared genetic markers.Building Family Trees for Identification: Once potential relatives of the suspect are identified, investigators work to build family trees using genealogical records, such as birth certificates, marriage records, and obituaries. By tracing the shared ancestry of these relatives, law enforcement can narrow down the list of potential suspects to a smaller pool.Narrowing Down Suspects: Investigative genetic genealogy can help law enforcement focus on specific individuals who fit the profile of the unknown suspect based on age, location, and other relevant factors. This process has led to the successful identification and capture of suspects in several high-profile cases.Bryan Kohberger was tracked down by authorities using genealogy according to sources. While the process is not even admissable in court, it is an important tool for investigators who are trying to solve complex cases.In this episode, we hear from one of the industry leaders in the field of genealogy who is discussing how the process works and what goes into an operation such as this.(commercial at 12:11)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How Idaho cops used genetic genealogy to trace suspect Bryan Kohberger's distant relatives | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Injectable-Only Overlapping Buprenorphine Starting Protocol in a Low-Threshold Setting  JAMA Network Open  Injectable-only buprenorphine protocols are an exciting new strategy for buprenorphine initiation, particularly in the fentanyl era. This is a cohort study of 95 patients with moderate to severe opioid use disorder who received care in a low-threshold setting in Seattle. 79% of patients included in the study were experiencing homelessness or living in permanent supportive housing. Patients selected a long-acting injectable (LAI) buprenorphine initiation protocol which included three escalating doses of LAI buprenorphine over three days, with no sublingual buprenorphine and without cessation of fentanyl/opioid use. 75% of the patients completed the protocol, and 64% received a second monthly dose of LAI buprenorphine.   Read this issue of the ASAM Weekly Subscribe to the ASAM Weekly Visit ASAM

A strong project kickoff strategy can make or break your software project. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit and expand upon their earlier episode, Mastering the Project Kickoff – Setting the Stage for Success. This time, they use AI not to redefine strategy, but to reflect on what worked, what's changed, and what new insights can improve how teams approach kickoffs today. The result is a deeper, more refined look at launching software projects with intention and clarity—before writing a single line of code. Why Your Project Kickoff Strategy Still Matters “Two weeks in, and no one agrees on the goal.” It's a story most developers know too well. The reason? A weak or nonexistent project kickoff strategy. Rob and Michael break down how early misalignment on goals, responsibilities, or MVPs can derail projects quickly. To avoid this, teams need a consistent, structured approach that starts before the first line of code is written. How AI Improves Your Project Kickoff Strategy AI can't replace a good team conversation, but it can support a better project kickoff strategy by helping structure discussions, define deliverables, and highlight gaps in planning. Some examples AI tools can generate: Stakeholder role outlines Risk assessment prompts Project objective statements Kickoff meeting checklists With good prompting, AI becomes a partner in better planning. Core Elements of a Strong Project Kickoff Strategy A repeatable project kickoff strategy should include the following: 1. Purpose and Objectives What are we building, and why? Define the business problem and expected outcome clearly. 2. Team Roles and Ownership List all stakeholders, assign responsibilities, and clarify decision-makers. Misunderstood roles create avoidable blockers. 3. Process and Delivery Plan Establish your delivery method (Agile, Scrum, Kanban) and how progress will be tracked, tested, and shared. 4. MVP and Scope Control Rob and Michael emphasize: everything must map to the MVP. If it doesn't, reconsider the feature. 5. Documentation and Visibility Centralize everything. Use Notion, Confluence, or shared drives, and record meetings for searchability and auditability. Warning Signs of a Poor Kickoff Strategy Michael and Rob call out red flags that reveal when your project kickoff strategy is weak or broken: No written MVP or goals Absent stakeholders during planning Overlapping roles with unclear boundaries “We'll figure it out later” mindset No documentation or decision logs Ignoring these signs leads to confusion, rework, and a breakdown in team trust. Anchor Your Kickoff Strategy with an MVP “If your feature doesn't pass a test, it's not part of your MVP.” Michael shares a practical tip: create user stories first, then turn them into pass/fail tests. This ensures that your project kickoff strategy stays laser-focused on outcomes—not distractions like UI polish or edge-case bells and whistles. Challenge: Audit Your Project Kickoff Strategy Before your next launch, hold a quick strategy review. Ask: Do we have a clearly defined MVP? Are team roles written and confirmed? Are meeting notes and decisions documented? Does every feature connect to project goals? If not, revise your strategy now—before you waste time.

The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 04/10/25 ; 04/21/25 ; 04/23/25 ; 05/11/25 How Should One Wrap the Tefillin Strap—And Is There a Required Number of Coils or a Specific Direction? After securing the Tefillin Shel Yad (the arm Tefillin) onto the bicep, one wraps the strap around the forearm in a particular pattern. This wrapping is not merely aesthetic—it is deeply rooted in Halacha, custom, and Kabbalistic meaning. How many coils are required? In which direction should one wrap? And what happens if one is in a rush or interrupted? What Is the Source for Wrapping the Strap Around the Arm? The Torah says, "Ukeshartam le'ot al yadecha"—"You shall bind them as a sign on your arm." The word "ukeshartam" implies binding, not just placing. Therefore, it is not enough to put the Bayit of the Tefillin Shel Yad on the bicep—one must also wrap the strap around the forearm to fulfill the Misva of binding. This is part of the Tefillin ritual itself, and not an optional step. How Many Times Must the Strap Be Wrapped? According to Sephardic custom, the strap is wrapped eight times around the forearm—between the Bayit on the bicep and the wrist. These eight coils correspond to spiritual and symbolic concepts, including the eight days leading to Berit Milah and the transcendence beyond nature. This number is rooted in the Kabbalistic teachings of the Arizal, and accepted as standard practice by Maran, the Ben Ish Hai, and Hacham Ovadia Yosef. Ashkenazim, however, often wrap the strap seven times, based on different understandings of the required act of "binding." Both customs are valid, and each person should follow their community's tradition. Is the Wrapping a Requirement or Just a Custom? The act of wrapping is a requirement, based on the Torah's word "Ukeshartam." However, the specific number of wraps (e.g., seven or eight) is a matter of custom and not me'akev—it does not invalidate the Misva if one wraps fewer or more times. That said, one should not treat this lightly. The number eight (for Sephardim) or seven (for Ashkenazim) carries deep significance, and by following the traditional count, one aligns with the spiritual energy intended by our sages. If someone accidentally wrapped fewer or more times, or if one of the coils slipped, the Misva is still valid. But it is best to adjust it as soon as possible and aim to wrap correctly the next time. Which Direction Should the Strap Be Wrapped? For Sephardim, the strap is wrapped inward, meaning that the coils go from the outer edge of the arm toward the body, forming a clockwise spiral when looking down the arm. This direction is based on the writings of the Ben Ish Hai, Arizal, and is codified in Yalkut Yosef. It symbolizes drawing the sanctity of the Tefillin inward, binding it to the soul. Some Ashkenazic authorities permit wrapping outward (counter-clockwise), and many Chassidic groups follow that custom. Each person should continue with their family or communal minhag. What Happens If One Wrapped in the Wrong Direction? The direction of the wrapping is not essential to the validity of the Misva. If a person wrapped in the wrong direction—out of habit, error, or imitation—the Tefillin are still kosher, and the blessing does not need to be repeated. However, one should try to correct the practice moving forward, especially if one has been educated or reminded of the proper custom for their community. Is There a Problem with Gaps or Overlaps in the Coils? Ideally, the wraps should be evenly spaced, firm but not tight, and placed one under the other in descending order. Overlapping or very loose coils are discouraged but do not invalidate the Misva. If one is rushed, or if the strap is very long or short, one may wrap looser or more tightly as needed. The main thing is to ensure that the strap forms clear, distinct coils down the forearm. Can the Strap Be Wrapped Over Clothing or a Watch? No. The strap must be wrapped directly on the skin of the forearm. Wrapping over a sleeve, wristwatch, or bandage creates a Hatssitsa (barrier), which may invalidate the Misva. Before wrapping, one should remove any watch or bracelet and ensure the skin is clean. If a person has a wound or bandage and cannot wrap fully, they should wrap to the extent possible on uncovered skin. When Is the Wrapping Performed in the Tefillin Sequence? After placing the Tefillin Shel Yad on the bicep and tightening it, the person recites the Beracha of "Le'hani'ah Tefillin." Then, without interruption, the strap is wrapped around the forearm. The wrapping around the fingers and hand comes after the Tefillin Shel Rosh is placed and secured. This later wrapping is more symbolic and poetic, reflecting verses of commitment to Hashem. But the forearm wrapping is part of the main Misva, and must be done immediately after the Beracha, without speaking or delay. Summary - Wrapping the strap around the forearm is part of the Torah commandment to "bind" Tefillin. - Sephardim wrap eight times; Ashkenazim often wrap seven. - The specific number and direction are not me'akev, but follow strong custom. - Sephardim wrap inward (clockwise), toward the body. - Coils should be neat and on bare skin, not over clothing or watches. - The wrapping must follow the Beracha, without delay or interruption.

From the archives: 8-18-23Genetic genealogy is a field that combines traditional genealogy research with modern DNA testing techniques to trace familial relationships and ancestry through genetic information. It involves analyzing an individual's DNA to uncover their genetic heritage, connect with distant relatives, and map out family trees. This approach has gained significant popularity due to advancements in DNA sequencing technology, particularly in the form of direct-to-consumer DNA testing kits.Here's how genetic genealogy works and how it's used by investigators:DNA Testing: Individuals interested in exploring their genetic heritage and family history can submit their DNA samples through services provided by companies like AncestryDNA, 23andMe, and MyHeritageDNA. These companies analyze specific segments of the submitted DNA to identify genetic markers that are common among different populations and individuals.Genetic Markers: Certain sections of the DNA, particularly those found in the Y chromosome (passed from father to son) and the mitochondrial DNA (passed from mother to all offspring), contain genetic markers that can be used to identify ancestral lineages. Autosomal DNA, which is inherited from both parents, is also examined to find matches with other individuals in the testing company's database.Matching and Comparison: Testing companies compare an individual's genetic markers with those of other users in their databases. If two individuals share a significant amount of genetic material, they are considered genetic matches. The more segments of DNA they share, the closer their relationship is likely to be.Building Family Trees: Genetic genealogy involves constructing family trees using a combination of traditional genealogical research and the information gained from DNA matches. By connecting with other users who share segments of DNA, individuals can extend their family trees and discover new branches of their lineage.Identifying Common Ancestors: As more people participate in DNA testing, the chances of finding common ancestors increase. Overlapping segments of shared DNA can help identify specific ancestors or ancestral groups that are shared among related individuals.Forensic and Investigative Applications: Genetic genealogy has also found applications in criminal investigations. Law enforcement agencies have used DNA databases to identify unknown perpetrators of crimes like murder and sexual assault. In cases where traditional investigative methods have been unsuccessful, investigators can upload DNA profiles from crime scenes to genealogy databases and identify potential relatives of the suspect based on shared genetic markers.Building Family Trees for Identification: Once potential relatives of the suspect are identified, investigators work to build family trees using genealogical records, such as birth certificates, marriage records, and obituaries. By tracing the shared ancestry of these relatives, law enforcement can narrow down the list of potential suspects to a smaller pool.Narrowing Down Suspects: Investigative genetic genealogy can help law enforcement focus on specific individuals who fit the profile of the unknown suspect based on age, location, and other relevant factors. This process has led to the successful identification and capture of suspects in several high-profile cases.In this episode we take a look at the battle of the experts that is being set up by both sides in the Bryan Kohberger trial and how it will be an uphill battle for Bryan Kohberger.(commercial at 8:44)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How DNA Dispute Could Impact Bryan Kohberger Case (newsweek.com)

If you've ever sat in a therapy session and thought, I love my therapist, but they just don't get diabetes–this episode is for you. Lauren sits down with Beth Leanna for a conversation that so many of you have been waiting for—what to do when your therapist doesn't fully understand your Type 1 diabetes experience. Beth brings a rare blend of clinical and emotional insight, having worked for over a decade in endocrinology before becoming a therapist & starting her own practice. We talked about why the disconnect happens in therapy, how to advocate for yourself when you feel unseen, and what to look for in a provider who's either T1D-informed or open to learning. We also explored the power of support beyond traditional therapy, like coaching, community, and education, and how those fill the gaps so many T1Ds experience. Whether you're navigating an underwhelming therapy dynamic or just beginning your mental health journey, this episode is your reminder that your lived experience matters, and you deserve care that truly sees you. Quick Takeaways:The importance of emotional and mental support with a type 1 diabetes diagnosis (for patients and caregivers) Disconnect between physical and mental health care providers & the power of collaboration in the medical field Dealing with caregiver burnout AND burden: How to balance it all without feeling emotionally + physically drained Finding the root of your T1D triggersFinding the right support as a T1D Timestamps:[02:46] How Beth went from being an endocrine nurse to opening her own therapy practice [04:27] “As a nurse…you can take them so far, right? I needed to help people in a different way…”[06:22] What she's learned about T1D in therapy that nursing never taught her[06:43] Overlapping theme seen with ALL the T1Ds in her life [09:11] Disconnect between mental and physical health care providers [11:38] Mental + mindset blocks that are holding T1Ds back [14:41] “There have been times where I'm like, ‘who's gonna take care of me?'...
