Brittany Means is author of the critically acclaimed memoir, “Hell if We Don't Change Our Ways”. Reviews have called it “gut-wrenching and triumphant.” “Readable and rigorous.”  “Brutal and beautiful.'  At its heart, it is a book about family. as Means recounts her complex relationships with her mother, father, brother, and grandparents and eventual guardians. What does it mean when those closest to us hurt us? Is understanding or forgiveness even possible?  How do children make it through it all to find support and love?  This was a particularly moving discussion.  I hope you find it of value.  Links to learn more about:  Brittany Means Hell if We Don't Change Our Ways Subscribe to Moving Up Mondays Substack Newsletter HOST Bob McKinnon is a writer, designer, and teacher who asks us to reconsider the way we see success and the American Dream.  His work has been featured in the New York Times, Boston Globe, Fast Company, NPR, and PBS.

Link to original articleWelcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New LessWrong feature: Dialogue Matching, published by jacobjacob on November 16, 2023 on LessWrong. The LessWrong team is shipping a new experimental feature today: dialogue matching! I've been leading work on this (together with Ben Pace, kave, Ricki Heicklen, habryka and RobertM), so wanted to take some time to introduce what we built and share some thoughts on why I wanted to build it. New feature! There's now a dialogue matchmaking page at lesswrong.com/dialogueMatching Here's how it works: You can check a user you'd potentially be interested in having a dialogue with, if they were too They can't see your checks unless you match It also shows you some interesting data: your top upvoted users over the last 18 months, how much you agreed/disagreed with them, what topics they most frequently commented on, and what posts of theirs you most recently read. Next, if you find a match, this happens: You get a tiny form asking for topic ideas and format preferences, and then we create a dialogue that summarises your responses and suggests next steps based on them. Currently, we're mostly sourcing auto-suggested topics from Ben's neat poll where people voted on interesting disagreement they'd want to see debated, and also stated their own views. I'm pretty excited to further explore this and other ways for auto-suggesting good topics. My hypothesis is that we're in a bit of a dialogue overhang: there are important conversations out there to be had, but that aren't happening. We just need to find them. This feature is an experiment in making it easier to do many of the hard steps in having a dialogue: finding a partner, finding a topic, and coordinating on format. To try the Dialogue Matching feature, feel free to on head over to lesswrong.com/dialogueMatching ! Me and the team are super keen to hear any and all feedback. Feel free to share in comments below or using the intercom button in the bottom right corner :) Why build this? A retreat organiser I worked with long ago told me: "the most valuable part of an event usually aren't the big talks, but the small group or 1-1 conversations you end up having in the hallways between talks." I think this points at something important. When Lightcone runs events, we usually optimize the small group experience pretty hard. In fact, when building and renovating our campus Lighthaven, we designed it to have lots of little nooks and spaces in order to facilitate exactly this kind of interaction. With dialogues, I feel like we're trying to enable an interaction on LessWrong that's also more like a 1-1, and less like a broadcasting talk to an audience. But we're doing so with two important additions: Readable artefacts. Usually the results of a 1-1 are locked in with the people involved. Sometimes that's good. But other times, Dialogues enable a format where good stuff that came out of it can be shared with others. Matchmaking at scale. Being a good event organiser involves a lot of effort to figure out who might have valuable conversations, and then connecting them. This can often be super valuable (thought experiment: imagine introducing Von Neumann and Morgenstern), but takes a lot of personalised fingertip feel and dinner host mojo. Using dialogue matchmaking, I'm curious about a quick experiment to try to doing this at scale, in an automated way. Overall, I think there's a whole class of valuable content here that you can't even get out at all outside of a dialogue format. The things you say in a talk are different from the things you'd share if you were being interviewed on a podcast, or having a conversation with a friend. Suppose you had been mulling over a confusion about AI. Your thoughts are nowhere near the point where you could package them into a legible, ordered talk and then go present them. So, what do you do? I think...

In the episode, learn how Rod Laughlin's insatiable desire to acquaint friends and strangers with the Bible devoted years of his life to developing The Readable Bible. The first complete format update of the Bible in over one hundred years! Accurate. Approachable. Understandable. Groundbreaking. During the past two hundred years, more than a dozen new formats have been developed to make information easier to read. Yet, Bibles are still using plain text in paragraphs. The 23 types of information found in the Readable Bible are now presented in the 17 formats that are standard in today's non-fiction books. This update makes accessing and engaging with the timeless teachings of God's Word easier than ever. The Readable Bible is available to purchase via Ironstream Media.

Just an hour. Under moorland trees. An hour to listen, to the weather, the flurries of rain. How they come and go. And the steady currents of wind. Force rising. Easing. Settling. Rising, rising again. Holding. Then easing. Blowing and sprinkling the falling raindrops over wide, waxy, sheltering leaves.  In time. Slowly becoming aware, in the quietness, of how many different layers of sound are not just audible, but readable, in a tucked away place like this. Readable to us, like words scratched into smooth bark. You. Are. Safe. Here. Because you have inherited the understanding of what the trees are saying, passed down by a million years of human evolution amongst trees. And you are immersed. And you are safe. Everything you are hearing is telling your vigilant brain there is nothing and no one about.  You. Here. Hidden. Up in the Derbyshire hills. Sat, on dry leaf litter, lent against a gently slanted tree trunk. Listening. Indistinguishable.  ------------------------- A thank you to the Lento Supporters Club.

Today we delve into The Readable Bible, a brand-new illustrative translation that presents the text in modern formats and translates it as we speak today. Our guest is Rod Laughlin, the founder and team leader of The Readable Bible, who shares the inspiration behind the project and how it differs from other versions. The Readable Bible features unique formatting such as family trees for genealogies, tables and charts for numerical data, and outlines for law code. Rod shares how he spent 25 years creating the translation, and how over 100 people have worked with him on this project. We also learn how this version of the Bible is most helpful and what is next for The Readable Bible. Join us as we explore this exciting new approach to the Bible that makes it easier to comprehend and retain. Personally, I wasn't so sure about a new Bible translation, but Rod graciously answered a few thoughts that were spinning in my head as I prepared for this interview. Rod Laughlin became a Christian when he was twenty-eight years old. Desiring to know more about the Bible, he earned an MDiv at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. After serving the Lord as the pastor of two churches and in many other ways for thirty-seven years, he sensed God's call to put the Bible into modern formats. He has spent the last fourteen years leading a team to create The Readable Bible. Over one-hundred people have worked with him on this project.

Who remembers seeing their first CommonCraft video? I remember seeing RSS in Plain English back in the day and thinking, "Wow, this guy if FANTASTIC!" That particular video is now considered a classic, and low budget, compared to today's Explainer Videos. But the cool thing is that it STILL works.  It takes a relatively complex topic and explains it "in plain english". If you've always felt like you could never "do video", then this is a must attend event for you. Lee and his wife taught themselves how to do it and their unique style led to an entire industry.

Struggle with understanding the Bible no more. The Readable Bible is here and moves beyond Bibles of the past. This Bible gives you an easy to follow layout, visual aides that tie into the verses and gives you the best of the literal and thought translations so you don't miss the depth of the intent yet delivered in today's understandable language.Here are the details: WHY ANOTHER TRANSLATION?Today's readers struggle with the Bible. Long, complex sentences, old fashioned “holy” words, and page after page of plain paragraphs make for difficult reading. Over the past 50 years, translators have tackled the problem by developing less literal translations. These make it easy to grasp a superficial understanding of the text, but do not offer the entry into deeper understanding that a literal translation provides.While literal translations present a higher risk that the reader may completely miss the meaning, they have a higher possible reward of showing the reader something that would not be apparent in a dynamic translation or a paraphrase. The Readable Bible translation is slightly more dynamic than the ESV and NASB, and less so than the NIV. The text is presented in modern formats to lower the risk of misunderstanding and to increase the probability of greater understanding. Readers find the text more accessible when they see it formatted as: Cascading textAgreementsNarrative paragraphsCensus tablesOutlined law codes Numbered stepsSpecification documents Assignment tablesCalloutsand other modern formats. This makes the text as readable as the New Living Translation and The Message. The modern look gives this reliable translation clarity and enables the Bible newcomer to understand the text. Faithfulness to the original text invites deeper engagement. A MAINSTREAM TRANSLATION The Readable Bible is a mainstream translation. By this, we mean the text is translated with the context of the biblical writers in mind, not the theology of the translators or editors. It does not lean toward a particular theological camp: Reformed, Wesleyan, dispensational, Lutheran, Roman Catholic, or Eastern Orthodox. It does not emphasize any peculiar or minority belief. To a certain extent, every Bible translation is affected by the theology of its translators. We strive to be aware of our own biases and either minimize them or acknowledge plausible alternative renderings in passages where there is legitimate scholarly debate. The Readable Bible's theological stance is that of traditional Protestant Christianity. It treats the text as inspired by God and given to humanity to lead us to know, serve, worship, and enjoy Him. The text is mainstream in that it does not differ significantly from the leading word-for-word or thought- for-thought translations. It is primarily a word-for-word translation, going to thought-for-thought only when the word-for-word translation would mislead a reader. The Christian Standard Bible (formerly Holman Christian Standard) uses a similar translation philosophy, calling it “optimal equivalence.” When we move to a thought-for-thought translation, we always footnote the word-for-word translation. We have not set out to break ground in translation. However, we recognize that there is an ever- increasing understanding of the original manuscripts. Our translation recognizes the latest developments. Rod Laughlin Rod Laughlin became a Christian when he was twenty-eight years old. Desiring to know more about the Bible, he earned an MDiv at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. After serving the Lord as the pastor of two churches and in many other ways for thirty-seven years, he sensed God's call to put the Bible into modern formats. He has spent the last fourteen years leading a team to create The Readable Bible. Over one-hundred people have worked with him on this project. Rod's Story- “One day in 2008, I was standing in anairport bookstore looking for a book to read. I asked myself, “Why am I looking for something to read when I have a Bible in my briefcase?” The answer came quickly: “The Bible is hard to read. It can be so frustrating, and often I don't understand what I'm reading.” And I thought, “You're a seminary graduate, a pastor, a Bible teacher! Why is it so hard to read?I walked over to the how-to book section and started browsing. I noticed that the books presented information in formats that made them easy to understand. On the airplane I wondered, “What would the Bible look like if God spoke to Moses, David, and Paul today?” I went through the Bible and identified over two-dozen categories of information, all presented in paragraph form. Now I had a new mission—create a translation that presents the original text and uses modern formatting to make it clear and easy to grasp.https://www.readablebible.com/

Eve Harow always asks ‘why?' On this week's show she interviews Comedian Mark Schiff on his new book ‘'Why Not? Lessons on Comedy, Courage and Chutzpah'. You'll laugh and cry, smile and wince. Then you'll turn to page 2.  He chronicles the pain behind the jokes and the bumps (and chumps) on the road to fame, forgiveness and friendship with some of the funniest people out there.  Mark also shed 50 lbs and the lean man is less mean, more vulnerable and grateful to Judaism for its life lessons. Readable and raw. Enjoy.

I'm excited to present an interview with Rod Laughlin, the creator of The Readable Bible, a brand new translation and Bible-reading experience.I met Rod at the Christian Product Expo (got it right this time) in August of 2022, and we started talking about what he had created and was just about to release. I was really intrigued and excited because he had independently created several things I had made for myself just for my personal use in my own Bible study, and included that in this new translation.

In this context, regulatory taxonomies (i.e., a method of classifying and categorizing a hierarchy of key legal, business, and regulatory terms and concepts) have been seen as a way to make regulations more easily processed by a computer and, therefore, potentially less time-consuming and costly for a firm's legal and compliance staff to review. In addition, application programming interfaces (APIs) can be used to ingest rule content, including the application of regulatory taxonomies to rules. Join Olga and Alex as they discuss how technology-based tools can allow financial market participants to potentially enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of their compliance efforts, thereby supporting investor protection and market integrity.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: I Converted Book I of The Sequences Into A Zoomer-Readable Format, published by dkirmani on November 10, 2022 on LessWrong. If I (a 19 year old male) texted "www.readthesequences.com" to my roommate, the probable outcome is that he would skim the site for under a minute, text back something like "seems interesting, I'll def check it out sometime", and then proceed to never read another word. I have another friend, one that I would consider a smart guy. He would consistently rank above me in our high school's math team, and he scored in the 1500's (≥3SD) on his SATs. The same dude did not read a single book during the entirety of his high school career.[1] Attention is one's scarcest resource, and actually reading something longer than a paragraph is a trivial inconvenience, especially for my generation. What, then, does manage to hold the fickle eyeballs of zoomers like me? Well, TikTok, mostly. However, there is one (very popular) genre of TikTok video worth investigating. In this genre of video, a Reddit post is broken into sub-paragraph chunks of text, and these chunks are sequentially rendered onscreen while a text-to-speech program reads them to the user. The text is overlaid upon a background video, which is either gameplay from the mobile game Subway Surfers, or parkour footage from Minecraft. The background gameplay provides engaging novelty to the user's visual cortex, while the synthetic voice ensures that the user doesn't have to go through the hard work of translating symbols into sounds. Really, it's all quite hypnotizing. The fact that these videos are often recommended by TikTok's algorithm imply that they are among the most-engaging videos that our civilization produces. Therefore, to reduce the effort-cost of reading the sequences, I gave the TikTok treatment to Book I ("Map and Territory") of Rationality: From AI to Zombies. Predictably Wrong What Do I Mean By “Rationality”? Feeling Rational Why Truth? And. . What's a Bias, Again?

A complete transcript can be found on the show's webpage.  [00:00:00] Hello, and welcome to the show Writing in the Tiny House. The entire point of this podcast is to help the tormented artist by sharing what I know about writing, publishing, and stress management, so that you can have the tools to produce the content that you have been eager to write. If you have the steps in place, you can produce a short story in as few as three months or a novel in as few as 18. And hopefully through the ideas in this podcast, you will have the wisdom to adjust that timeline if you need to. I am Devin Davis, the guy who lives and writes in a tiny house in Northern Utah. Thank you for tuning in, and please enjoy today's episode of Writing in the Tiny House.  Well, hello and happy [00:01:00] Wednesday. It is another episode of writing in the tiny house. And thank you so much for joining me. So like I, well, like I have mentioned in the past couple episodes, my work in progress ti is in a place where it needs beta readers. And if you are in a position where you want to be involved, please let me know by contacting me through my social stuff. So all of that is listed in the show notes. Don't be bashful with beta reading. It's reading in a casual way, just like you would any other novel and then giving feedback. I don't want you to flex your muscles when it comes to editing. We're not to that stage yet. I just want feedback on content, but guys, today is a little bit about what to do in the interim between drafts and beta reading. We are at a point with ti where I have a group of people reading my book [00:02:00] and giving feedback, and they are giving feedback at different rates at different times during the week. And there aren't very many of them, but here's something to understand friends, beta readers are. Wonderful volunteers who are incredibly valuable to the process of writing. However, they are going to require an amount of reminding your book is not nearly as important to them. As it is to you. And if you are in a spot where you are ready for beta readers and you start to get your program together, it's important to spell out to everybody who wants to read your book when you want them to have it finished. And. That you are going to be following up with them throughout the process. It's important to let them know that so that when you pop in halfway through just to see how it's going and they haven't started [00:03:00] yet, they won't be mad and it won't be unexpected. I mean, like I said, these people are not getting paid. They are doing it out of the kindness of their heart. And so it's important to be grateful at the same time, there is an amount of patience with all of this and when you get feedback and that's what this whole episode is for. Well, two things. When you get feedback, you need to have a way to organize all of that. And what are you going to do with yourself during this time? This beta reading program has been going on for about two weeks. And I have said in previous episodes that it is important between drafts to let your draft cool off. That means that you don't get to futz around with it. You don't get to tease it apart. You don't get to pick apart that if different things that are not working or don't seem to be working. And you get to leave it alone. You get to step away and let it cool off. That's what some people call it. At [00:04:00] least when you. Put that time in between you and your current draft, it allows your mind to refresh. And so when you do finally go back and you start to read it, it's going to be with fresh eyes and it's going to be with a fresh mindset so that you can actually do better editing work. during. Your beta reading program. it is important to have that space, that time built into what you are doing. So if you remember a few weeks ago, when I finished my first draft and got it. Readable. I let it rest for a few days. I didn't let it rest for as long as I'm about to let it rest. I mean, this has been almost two weeks. I did just a few days. And then I went through and did a first passive edit. Then I gave it to my friend my developmental editor crystal, and she went through and read it and took notes. And while she was involved with that, I let my [00:05:00] manuscript rest. so that when she had notes to give me, I was in a good place to go through and put in those notes and make those changes. Now that we are at an even better place with the manuscript, I get to let it rest again. So not only am I giving my attention to. Gathering information and compiling it into a meaningful, easy to understand layout. I mean, it's a Novea, it's not a full blown novel. And if I were doing a novel, I would have a different system to take notes with. All of the information that I'll be getting from my beta readers. And I likely wouldn't have given the entire document to them all at once. I would've likely split it up into a couple installments so that I could get fresher feedback that is more specific to what they just read. Instead of giving them a really big book and then getting feedback all at once and having them [00:06:00] forget parts, it's just a way to help them help you. So with a Nove, you don't need to do that. This thing is only 20,000 words. It's only about 125 printed pages or 120, depending on how you format your book, but that's about how long it is. And so there is no harm in just giving the book all at once in this instance. not only am I devoting attention to that, but I am. Paying attention to what the beta readers have to say. And as they give feedback, it also inspires me to make additional changes, but right now is not the time to make those changes. So here's the deal guys. when we come to swapping ideas and whatever, the wheels will start to turn in your brain and you are going to want to dive right back into your manuscript to make those changes. Especially if you get good feedback from one of your beta readers, I gave my book to, a young lady [00:07:00] who read it recently. And some of the feedback that she gave was perfect. she said all of the things that she liked, and then she said some things that she wanted a bit more of. And I can add that into the manuscript, but as I was thinking about it, it triggered a little bit of other places where I could add more to some other scenes in the book where I could insert a little bit of this or that just to fill it out and to give a better sense of who is there a better sense of setting and. That was inspired though. It was not mentioned directly in the feedback that I got recently from one of my beta readers. So this is my advice to you, my dear friends, listening to this episode during these times, when you are letting your manuscript cool off. It is still important to take notes as [00:08:00] far as what your brain is telling you needs to happen with your manuscript. be sure to have a good place. It can be on your phone. It can be a notebook at home. I have a sticky note on my desktop where I'm keeping a lot of these notes, but have a place To write down that inspiration so that you can have a list of points to make when you go through, another time to make more edits to your draft. So with developmental edits, you are going to be making several passes of edits until your book is at a good place to send to your editor. And it's important to make those passes. If you think that you're going to be making all of your developmental edits happen in one go, you are going to be surprised or maybe disappointed when it doesn't happen that way. However, the more that you do it, the more that you practice the [00:09:00] fewer times. Possibly, I mean, most likely fewer times that you were going to have to make passes in order to do some complete developmental edits or. You'll just get better at doing it. So the passes don't take as long and you can be more efficient with your revisions. I was thinking about a metaphor with all of this, with just this whole part of writing. And the thing is the first draft. if we are going to compare this to a garden or to a farm. Or something where we plant a thing and then it grows. The first draft is largely preparing the soil and planting seeds. The first draft is rough and it is hard to see some of the beautiful things in your first draft, especially when you read through it after you're done. I mean, there is problems and. It is through the many steps of revision that we coax out from the ground, the [00:10:00] beautiful things that we want and the beautiful things that are already there. So it's like the seeds and you are growing your flowers or you are growing your vegetables or your pumpkins or whatever else It is the labor and the tending and the weeding and the watering. All of those steps that make those things grow. and all of that comes through revision and through editing and revision, revision revision. And at the end things just get better. Guys. TIS was in a very good place when I sent it to my beta readers. Now that I'm getting feedback, I'm realizing that I didn't realize before that there are other places to make it fill out and to make it even better, to make it make more sense. And that's cool because I can see, I can see where it needs to go and then I can put the effort into it to get there. Again, just to sum all of this up while you are taking a break [00:11:00] from your work in progress and letting it cool off, be sure to still take notes. It's important to create some distance between you and your work in progress for an amount of time. But. It is still important to pay attention and take notes to the things that your brain and other people are going to be telling you about your work in progress. So thank you for tuning in.  And that is it for today. Before we go, I need to say that my current work in progress Tiz the next installment of Tales from Vlaydor is ready for beta readers, people to read the novella and share with me their experience. It's a big, important step before publishing. So if you wish to be a part of this project, reach out to me on my social media handles; on Instagram I'm @authordevindavis, and on Twitter I'm @authordevind. And remember that my short story Brigitte is available on Amazon as an ebook [00:12:00] and on Audible as an audio book. Check those out today.

On this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, I welcome Dr. Chris Barnes, Chief Executive Officer at Kalamazoo Counseling and Assessment Center. We discuss psychological assessment reports and why we should still read and understand them. Dr. Barnes also shared some tips to write these reports in an engaging manner and in a language that the target readers can understand.     This is because psychological reports are often too long and use language most can't comprehend.
