African American Folklorist of the Month - Larry Handy Larry  Handy discusses with me the concept of Ethnopoetic theory (a method for analyzing and recording oral poetry and performances to capture the poetic elements of the original performance) and his love for archiving and being a librarian. Handy is a “Folklife Poet” and shares with us the meaning; he also dives deep into activism and protests. Larry lives in California, and we recorded this interview at the height of the California wildfires when he was a few miles away. In sharing his Journey to Folklore, he discusses Folk Consciousness and his "Tour of Duty," an LA Protest Memoir. BIO: Larry Handy is a folklife poet who leads the award-winning poetry band Totem Maples.  His fiction, nonfiction, and poetry appear in such journals as The Coachella Review, Cog, Mosaic: Art and Literary Journal, Proximity, Quiddity, Rivet, Roi Fainéant, Storylandia, Straight Forward Poetry, and elsewhere.  He holds an MFA in creative writing and writing for the performing arts from the University of California, Riverside, and a master's in library science from Emporia State University.  TWB Press published his horror novelette Paper Cuts: 1000 Paper Cranes.  His essay “What to Do When Grandma Has Dementia” was nominated for a Pushcart Prize and was listed in The Best American series under Notable Essays and Literary Nonfiction of 2016.  He is either practicing Chinese martial arts or running 26.2-mile marathons when not writing.  Southern California is his home.

The latter can take into account the hidden interaction with all natural forces/fields and also can integrate symmetric time and thus an aspect of backward causation.1” NeuroQuantology | September 2017 | Volume 15 | Issue 3 | Page 41-79| doi: 10.14704/nq.2017.15.3.1079 K.F. Meijer D. et. al., Consciousness in the Universe is Scale Invariant and Implies an Event Horizon of the Human Brain. A search for the word quasimodogeniti found it on a German website, apparently explaining the word as used in the Latin Mass. From the German translated to English: “Latin quasi modo geniti = like the newly born, after the beginning of the opening verse of the liturgy of Sunday, 1 Peter 2:2.” From Merriam-Webster: Quasi - in some sense or degree; resembling in some degree Modo - way or manner; mode Geniti - begotten, engendered We can be born again by the Spirit, all our neural stem cells regenerated.

The authors of the article postulate, along with many others in the field, that time is not the 4th element but rather the 5th, with another spatial element coming in at #4. This is the dimension in which our mind is located. Our brain is our physical mind, so to speak. Neurogenesis occurs at the physical level, but is apparently directed by the mind, both ours and His. Our mind is connected with what the authors call the Universal Consciousness but with what we know as God. This connection occurs through quantum entanglement (synchronous connection across time and space) and may be the equivalent of being part of the the mind of Christ. Thus, we have access to step back into time to rewrite our story. This may be a process that draws together the effectiveness of forgiveness, the phrase “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again,*” “new creation” and similar, restoration of all things, generational curses and blessing moving both up and down the line, and causes forgetfulness of old memories (see text from X2M.164 notes). *This may have been a popular hymn in the early church and may not reflect a studied understanding of the gospel. For today, I might amend to read: “Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ is come again.” Glorification | The Final Frontier Going Boldly Where The Last Man has Gone Before!

You need the transwarp key to see THE MAJESTY I SEE X2M.150-162 The “word of the Lord is QUAESITUM, seeking for a resting place” a QUIDDITY, “the what that was to be” from the QUINTESSENCE encounter INGRESSIVE OR CONSTATIVE AORIST The ingressive essence moving for a constative permanent place to sit/rest In reference to Colossians 1:19, the aorist verb κατοικῆσαι (katoikēsai) could be taken as an ingressive, in which case it refers to the incarnation and may be translated as “begin to dwell, to take up residence.” It is perhaps better, though, to take it as a constative aorist and simply a reference to the fact that the fullness of God dwells in Jesus Christ. This is a permanent dwelling, though, not a temporary one, as the present tense in Colossians 2:9 makes clear. Between the tech manual I had back in the day for the Enterprise-D and my Enterprise blueprints, the following technologies are listed (perhaps not canon, but at least seem reasonable). - Warp (Constitution class): Warp number cubed was the velocity relative to speed of light, with the Enterprise having a max normal of Warp 12 listed and emergency max of Warp 14. - Transwarp (Excelsior class): Technology enabling the ship to drop into an alternate dimension where time flowed at a different rate. Effectively 2x as fast at each Warp number. - Ultra Warp (Galaxy class): A shifting pattern of warp fields that made greater velocity capable and also redefined Warp numbers as an exponential curve with 1 being speed of light and 10 being infinite. Now, obviously transwarp was redefined when the Borg came out. Perhaps a combination of Ultra Warp, but in transwarp space? Seems like sometimes they used conduits, but not always? Conduits accelerated the transwarp effect? I dunno, it got really fuzzy at that point in the Star Trek space. :-) Trans-warp is one of those generic terms that was thrown around a lot in the Star Trek Universe. In the case of the USS Excelsior, it is my understanding that trans-warp stood for an experimental technology that allowed a ship to jump from standstill to any warp velocity the ship was capable of without having to accelerate through the various levels (warp 1, warp 2, warp 3, etc). So, in that case, Excelsior could have caught Enterprise because it not only could accelerate instantly, but it also had a higher top sustainable speed. In other instances, the term trans-warp referred to any technology that allowed ships to travel "faster" than a normal warp speed ship. For instance, the Borg created wormhole-like conduits, in Voyager there was the slip-stream technology, and so forth. Going Boldly Where The Last Man has Gone Before!

QUIDDITY English transliteration of the Latin quidditas, meaning "whatness"; in scholastic usage it designates a thing's essence taken precisely in its capacity to inform the intellect of the answer to the question "what is it?" Related Terms. At most a virtual minor distinction obtains between essence and quiddity: essence is the thing as capacity for existence, whereas quiddity is the thing as capacity to instruct the intellect. The quiddity of a thing, if definable, is analytically expressed in its real definition by its genus and specific difference. As such it is similar to, but more exact than, nature in boethius's first sense: "anything that can be grasped (by the intellect) in any way whatever" (De persona et duabus naturis 1; Patrologia Latina, 64:1341BC). Nature, in the more etymological and Aristotelian sense, is closer to essence than to quiddity inasmuch as nature signifies a thing's principle of operation—effective only through existence. Such are the comparisons between these terms suggested by St. thomas aquinas (De ente 1, 3). To these he adds form and Aristotle's phrase "the what was to be" (τò τί [symbol omitted]ν ε[symbol omitted]ναι, quod quid erat esse ). He defines the form that is convertible with essence and quiddity as "the complete essential determination" of a thing. This is the "form of the whole" (forma totius, ε[symbol omitted]δος) according to the Avicennian interpretation of book seven of the Metaphysics —an interpretation rejected by Averroës but accepted by St. Thomas (In 7 meta. 9. 1467–69). Form in this sense includes the matter as universalizable as well as the "form of the part" (forma partis, μορφή), the substantial form as distinct from matter (see matter and form). Form thus expresses the completeness of an essence's specification in itself with respect both to existence and to intellect, and in the latter respect is synonymous with quiddity. Some modern scholars concur independently in the Averroist interpretation that Aristotle excludes matter altogether from the notion of form or species and its equivalent, "the what was to be." But St. Thomas insists that Aristotle holds its inclusion necessary in the case of natural substances, since it must be included universally in their definition (In 7 meta. 9.1468; In I anim. 1.24–29). Aristotelian Meaning. The term quidditas, coined in the 12th century in translations of Avicenna into Latin and possibly also in paraphrasing the Topics, stems ultimately from Aristotle's own phrase "the what was to be." From its grammar and from the probable places of its earliest appearance (Topica101b 22, 132a 1), it originated in a context of dialectics and predication and was designed as a verbal sort of variable representing the full answer to any Socratic question as to what a thing is, for example, man, virtue, the Sophist, etc. The particular reference of the phrase can be specified in any context by adding a dative, for example, "the what was it for a man to be," or "the being characteristic of man." This full answer, Aristotle says, is expressed in the definition of the thing in question. As such the phrase must be distinguished from another Aristotelian one, "the what is it" (τò τί ἐστι, quod quid est ), of wider range, since it not only may refer to the complete formula or definition but may also be satisfied by any one of its parts taken separately—genus, matter, difference, or form. Grammatically, the past tense, "was" ([symbol omitted]ν, erat ), has a habitual or transtemporal sense, indicating the specifying, or formal, identity of the essence with respect to any individual of that essence at any time (Meta. 1031a 15–32a 11, esp. 32a 5; Aquinas, In 7 meta. 5) or, in the case of the separate substances, beyond time.

As a horror movie, John Carpenter's The Thing seems to have it all: amazing practical effects, body horror, psychological drama, Kurt Russell ... Indeed, there is only one element this movie lacks, and that is anything at all corresponding to the titular villain. There is no thing in The Thing! What we have instead is a process, a pattern, a way for which the term "thing" is as good as any other. (What is a thing anyway?) In this episode, Phil and JF, having decided that Carpenter's film qualifies as a Christmas movie because there is snow (and a dog) in it, explore the metaphysical implications of a cult classic.

A wonderful sense of wordplay permeates the poems we were able to discuss from Barbara Diehl. Sadly, one of three poems we'd flagged for the podcast was snapped up before our discussion was recorded, and we talk a bit at the start of this episode about our process and timelines. Barbara's work gave us space to consider how word choices, sequencing, and combining can lead to new experiences in a poem, as well as a debate over the roles of joy and darkness in poetry, including the balance we seek as readers in the world we find ourselves living in these days.    This episode is brought to you by our sponsor Wilbur Records, who kindly introduced us to the artist is A.M.Mills whose song “Spaghetti with Loretta” now opens our show.     At the table: Kathleen Volk Miller, Jason Schneiderman, Samantha Neugebauer and Dagne Forrest.  Barbara Westwood Diehl is senior editor of The Baltimore Review. Her fiction and poetry appear in a variety of journals, including Quiddity, Potomac Review (Best of the 50), SmokeLong Quarterly, Gargoyle, Superstition Review, Thrush Poetry Journal, Atticus Review, The MacGuffin, The Shore, The Journal of Compressed Creative Arts, Raleigh Review, Ponder, Fractured Lit, South Florida Poetry Journal, Five South, Allium, The Inflectionist Review, Switch, Split Rock Review, and Free State Review.    Socials: Twitter @BarbaraWestwood, Facebook @ barbara.w.diehl.3, Poets & Writers listing      December Goodnight    it's sunfall, and the papersky is grayed  with erasures of bestlaid plans    all the daymistakes   forgiven    the brokenpencil points of planes   thumbsmudged away    their grumblechatter  hushed    the blackening windows  shuttered    *    so sleep in the nightsee   in the skylisten    so dream a planetdance  breathe a metronome     so keep time to a ticktock moon   to evening's pocketwatch    its face a dozing chaperone   so humfade, so eyes closed    nothing to shudderfret  allsafe

If you want to know canine psychologist Alexandra Horowitz' best advice for training a puppy, it can be summed up in one sentence: “Expect that your puppy will not be who you think, nor act as you hope.” That truth — which can both delight and confound new puppy caretakers — is at the center of her 2021 book, “The Year of the Puppy.” A longtime researcher of canine behavior, Horowitz realized she had never examined those critical first months of a dog's life. So in 2020, she started to observe litters from birth on. When the pandemic shut down the world, she brought one of those puppies into her already animal-centric home — and almost immediately had second thoughts. But adapting to Quiddity, their new pup, gave her fresh insight into doggie development. Ultimately, it reinforced her belief that human companions need to respect and enjoy these creatures that live with us but are fundamentally different. If all we do is focus on how to train the puppy, we miss them becoming themselves. It's a fascinating and validating conversation, so we pulled it from the archives for an encore performance during our spring member drive. Don't miss this conversation between Horowitz and fellow dog lover, MPR News host Kerri Miller. Guest: Alexandra Horowitz observes dogs for a living. Her research began more than two decades ago, studying dogs at play, and continues today at her Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard College. Her latest book is “The Year of the Puppy.” To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.  Subscribe to the MPR News with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or RSS.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 30, 2022 is: quiddity • KWID-uh-tee • noun Quiddity refers to the essence of a thing—that is, whatever makes something the type of thing that it is. Quiddity can also refer to a small and usually trivial complaint or criticism, or to a quirk or eccentricity in someone's behavior. // The novelist's genius was her unparalleled ability to capture the quiddity of the Maine seacoast in simple prose. // He portrayed the character's quirks and quiddities with tender playfulness. See the entry > Examples: “This is typical [of author Karl Ove] Knausgaard. He observes a subject so closely, mining so far into its essence—its quiddity—that the observations transcend banality and become compelling. In other words, he draws the space between the objects.” — Peter Murphy, The Irish Times, 20 Mar. 2018 Did you know? When it comes to synonyms of quiddity, the Q's have it. Consider quintessence, a synonym of the “essence of a thing” meaning of quiddity, and quibble, a synonym of the “trifling point” use. And let's not forget about quirk: like quiddity, quirk can refer to a person's eccentricities. Of course, quiddity also comes from a “Q” word, the Latin pronoun quis, which is one of two Latin words for “who” (the other is qui). Quid, the neuter form of quis, led to the Medieval Latin quidditas, which means “essence,” a term that was essential to the development of the English word quiddity.

Today on Conflict Managed, Dr. Leslie LaChance, a poet and educator, shares her thoughts on the role of practicing the arts in business and everyday life, and how the participation in art can calm us, inducing self-reflection and a greater capacity to listen and create. Leslie talks about her first bosses as excellent teachers, seeing correction as opportunity instead of failure, and the importance of how we communicate ideas with others. Leslie also graces us with one of her poems. Leslie LaChance is a poet, essayist, and freelance editor living in Nashville, Tennessee, where she also teaches literature and writing classes and collaborates with fellow artists on creative projects. Some of her poems and stories have appeared in Still: The Journal, Mead, Quiddity, Apple Valley Review, The Birmingham Poetry Review, The Greensboro Review, Juked, and other journals.  How She Got That Way, her poetry chapbook, was published in the quartet edition Mend & Hone from Toadlily Press in 2013. Three of her poems have been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, and her poem “Left” received a Best of the Net Award from Sundress.net. Leslie has published articles and reviews in magazines and journals such as The East Nashvillian, Stirring: A Literary Collection, and AWP Pedagogy Forum. She blogs about health, illness, survivorship, and well-being at Sojourn & Stardust.  Leslie also edits articles for magazines and academic journals and assists both professional and aspiring authors in preparing manuscripts for publication. She has taught writing and literature courses at the State University of New York at New Paltz, Volunteer State Community College, University of Tennessee (Knoxville and Martin campuses), and Webb School of Knoxville.  Leslie also teaches community workshops and professional development seminars in poetry and creative practice.   A Little Pep Talk*   Ace, your soul is made of diamonds and that's just science like how the wind shapes itself to love you in broad daylight as you are   Human as you are know this: your breath is holy smoke   Sweet thing, your brain has serious game and your heart that's always breaking shimmers kinstukuroi in gold repair   * A found poem inspired by Pep Talk Generator crafted by the Raccoon Society Arrangement and Improvisation by Leslie LaChance   Conflict Managed is available wherever you listen to podcasts.

When Alexandra Horowitz brought home a pandemic puppy it was clear little Quiddity would be very closely watched. Horowitz is founder of Barnard's Dog Cognition Lab and her previous books explored questions of how dogs experience the world. In her new book, “The Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves” she follows her puppy from his very beginnings as “a mewling splodge of fur,” through his first year. We talk to Horowitz about what she learned and why puppies are cognitively interesting as well as being the cutest little balls of fluff, and how those two things might be related. Guests: Alexandra Horowitz, author, "The Year of the Puppy: How Dogs Become Themselves;" founder, the Dog Cognition Lab at Barnard College.

Greg Peiker of Quiddity Wines is Stacy's guest on the program. Stacy makes it her mission to draw out the reserved vintner and ask him questions that are off the beaten track.

His delivery is as crisp and dry as his wines. Learn more about Quiddity Wines at https://quidditywines.com/

Many Christians misunderstand the essence of our eternal hope in Christ. Sadly, often our thinking about life after death is more influenced by the Greek philosopher Plato than it is by the Old and New Testaments. In this lesson, we study key passages in the Scriptures in order to rediscover the full Biblical hope of the consummate renewal of God's good creation, including the redemption of own physical bodies, all which is causally tied to the death and bodily resurrection of Christ.Time:EveningMinister:Pastor Taylor KernSeries:Catechism Series
