Send us a textIn this last installment of The Fairy Ring Podcast, shift to a silver shore with a crystal lighthouse where bodies of shadow and light drink clouds and sea foam. At the top of the lighthouse, an angel waits to offer you a choice.

While we're on a brief recording hiatus, we have a re-issue of an episode from 2019, when our team took a rare look at a non-fiction piece by author Andrew Bertaina. It's great timing to take a fresh look at this episode, as earlier this year Bertaina published a collection of essays called “The Body is a Temporary Gathering Place”. Enjoy the episode and check out Bertaina's new collection!   Welcome back to another Painted Bride Quarterly Slush Pile. Today we have an excellent episode with a bit of something different. After a set of introductions in which Marion gets out her glue gun the gang dives right into a piece of non-fiction by Andrew Bertaina labeled “The Offering”.       Andrew Bertaina's work has appeared or is forthcoming in many publications including: The Best American Poetry 2018, The ThreePenny Review, Tin House online, Redivider, Crab Orchard Review and Green Mountains Review. More of his work is available at www.andrewbertaina.com    After an excellent reading by Kathleen, Tim describes how churches offer less of a sense of community these days; being more concerned with hellfire and crucifixion. Next, Marion describes how the piece offers a sense of timelessness while lamenting on her own exhaustion from various teaching duties. Marion contends that the piece allowed her to compose herself and gave her a sense of fulfillment. Samantha speaks a bit on curation, and how that differs from what is displayed on social media. Before voting Tim mentions how historically specific the piece is, and the idea of somebody that you used to know. Will this piece make the cut? Or will it fade into obscurity?   The Offering   At church this morning, I passed around a collection plate to gather up the scraps of all the people I have known. The bowl was silver and its size was like that of space. Inside, I found: a hike through a hailstorm in Colorado where blue jays where eating other bird's babies; I found an evening spent from midnight till morning talking about the way that I dreamed of divinity; I found a piece of a tetherball string, still wound tightly around a silver pole; I found a pocket of gummi worms, unopened, thrown in the trash can at recess; I found a small side yard where I dug for dinosaur bones; I found a picture with the words I love you written across the top; I found tears and tears, until I was swimming through all the tears, trying to remember why we are all such bizarre puzzles; I found a slip of paper with someone's e-mail on it that I threw in the trash; I found a cabin in the woods with a couch and a blanket; I found a picture of you standing with me in the same shirt I wore only two weeks ago, but it was more than a decade ago; I found that the years start to run together like water that you can't separate out the moments that you used to; I found pictures of people in wedding dresses and tuxedos, people that I used to know, and I smiled at their happy faces, because they made me happy when I knew them; I found a picture of San Francisco, stiff breezes off the bay, always so damn cold, and inside the picture was another picture of a hospital, and inside that hospital a memory of people who are now dust; I found an evening in the mountains of Santa Barbara, and a sunrise too; I found a picture of five of us sitting in a room talking about the ways in which we had failed, the ways in which we'd like to succeed; I found a picture of a piano and green couches; I found a picture of a mountain trail, pine trees and old bear scat; I found a picture of the ocean, of your hand in mine, before we glided together. I found a picture of a tower in Italy, a winding staircase leading to a view of some ancient city.   I spent the evening afterward, sorting all these pictures into specific piles.   Afternoons that could have lasted forever.   Times I went to the ocean.   Women that I have loved.   Women that I did not have the time to get around to loving.   People that I once knew.   People that I used to know and wish I still knew.   Avenues that I have walked down.   Avenues that I wish I had walked down.   Pictures of places that I am not remembering properly.   After I was done organizing these moments, I wrote them all down on the computer screen, which flickered, in and out just like memory does. I know that thousands, millions, far more numerous than the stars, are still missing. I want you to know that I'm trying to remember all of you, despite the futility of it. I'm reaching out to the people I have known and the people I will know. I miss all of you already, so the next time you see me, let's meet, not was if we were strangers, but as people who have, for longer than they can remember, been very much in love.  

What does it mean to be labeled a hero in the aftermath of unimaginable loss? Set against the backdrop of an economically depressed Appalachian town, The Stone Catchers explores the immeasurable pain and trauma experienced by the survivors of a school shooting.

In that difference lies a coming sea change in how the US, Europe, and the world at large will consume power — and how much that will cost.  For years, data centers displayed a remarkably stable appetite for power, even as their workloads mounted. Now, as the pace of efficiency gains in electricity use slows and the AI revolution gathers steam, Goldman Sachs Research estimates that data center power demand will grow 160% by 2030. At present, data centers worldwide consume 1-2% of overall power, but this percentage will likely rise to 3-4% by the end of the decade. In the US and Europe, this increased demand will help drive the kind of electricity growth that hasn't been seen in a generation. Along the way, the carbon dioxide emissions of data centers may more than double between 2022 and 2030.   Goldman Sachs research on AI and power needs https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/gs-research/generational-growth-ai-data-centers-and-the-coming-us-power-surge/report.pdf   https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/gs-research/ai-data-centers-global-power-surge-and-sustainability-impact/report.pdf   https://www.goldmansachs.com/intelligence/pages/AI-poised-to-drive-160-increase-in-power-demand.html     https://futurism.com/the-byte/ai-data-centers-power-built-in-nuclear-reactors AI DATA CENTERS NEED SO MUCH POWER THEY MAY NEED BUILT-IN NUCLEAR REACTORS "DATA CENTRES ARE POWER HUNGRY THINGS, BUT WITH AI WE'RE MOVING INTO A NEW LEVEL OF POWER REQUIREMENTS."   Nuclear Option It's no secret that keeping an AI data center running requires an immense amount of power. To meet those skyrocketing energy demands, experts are now looking for alternative sources, the BBC reports — including small nuclear reactors that could power individual data centers. "Our industry has to find another source of power," Digital Realty CTO Chris Sharp told the broadcaster. Small and Modular For years, scientists have been developing small modular reactors (SMR), which are scaled-down power plants that can provide power in situ and thereby dramatically reduce companies' dependence on the grid. Despite an entire burgeoning industry dedicated to their realization, there still aren't any commercial ones in operation anywhere in the world, as the BBC notes. It's an intriguing idea that has inspired some of the biggest players in the AI field to invest in the idea. Job listings last year suggested Microsoft was looking to roll out its own plan for SMRs, with the goal of eventually using them to power its AI data centers. Even OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has invested in a nuclear startup called Oklo, which is working on self-regulating SMRs. (Altman has also suggested that AI is so power hungry that it'll require a breakthrough energy source.) "Data centres are power hungry things, but with AI we're moving into a new level of power requirements," director at the Centre for Nuclear Engineering at Imperial College London Michael Bluck told the BBC. But it'll likely be a while before companies start producing SMRs at scale to meet those requirements. "There are about 50 SMR designs out there," Bluck added. "The challenge is to build them in repeatable units, factory style, standardizing production lines." One big hurdle to still overcome is regulation. After all, nuclear energy comes with some obvious risks. The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission has been "engaged in varying degrees of pre-application activities with several SMR designers over the past several years," per its official website. In 2020, the commission approved the first SMR design, developed by an Oregon-based startup called NuScale Power. However, despite clear momentum behind the idea, it's unclear if SMRs will end up being the answer to our rapidly rising energy needs. Companies are desperately looking for ways to scale up operations now — and not years from now. More on SMRs: Microsoft Needs So Much Power to Train AI That It's Considering Small Nuclear Reactors   https://www.iaea.org/newscenter/news/what-are-small-modular-reactors-smrs Small modular reactors (SMRs) are advanced nuclear reactors that have a power capacity of up to 300 MW(e) per unit, which is about one-third of the generating capacity of traditional nuclear power reactors. SMRs, which can produce a large amount of low-carbon electricity, are: Small – physically a fraction of the size of a conventional nuclear power reactor. Modular – making it possible for systems and components to be factory-assembled and transported as a unit to a location for installation. Reactors – harnessing nuclear fission to generate heat to produce energy.       https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/nuclear-power-oklo-sam-altman-ai-energy-rcna139094 The AI industry is pushing a nuclear power revival — partly to fuel itself A nuclear startup backed by OpenAI chief Sam Altman wants to power data centers and homes alike. It's racing against surging demand while working to satisfy regulators.   Excerpt: Oklo is one of the nuclear startups backed by Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI who has described AI and cheap, green energy as mutually reinforcing essentials to achieving a future marked by “abundance.” “Fundamentally today in the world, the two limiting commodities you see everywhere are intelligence, which we're trying to work on with AI, and energy,” he told CNBC in 2021 after investing $375 million in Helion Energy, a nuclear fusion startup that Altman chairs. Microsoft last year agreed to buy power from Helion starting in 2028. Oklo, which Altman also chairs, is focused on the opposite reaction, fission, which generates energy by splitting an atom; fusion does so by merging atomic nuclei. Representatives for Altman, through his special acquisition company AltC, didn't respond to a request for comment. In rural southeastern Idaho, Oklo is working to build a small-scale nuclear powerhouse that could fuel data centers like the ones OpenAI and its competitors need. But the company also wants to supply mixed-use communities and industrial facilities, and is already contracted to build two commercial plants in southern Ohio.   Stocks to Review:   https://www.techopedia.com/investing/best-data-center-stocks Best Data Center Stocks to Buy in 2024 Here's a quick overview of the best data center stocks available today: Equinix: The US-based, large-cap data center real estate investment trust (REIT) rents out server space and provides  fast direct internet connections.

But it is the suffering caused by Calvin, her Buddhist teacher, that she can't get past. A year ago, Calvin seduced her, and his Buddhist teachings became her world. Now, he has dropped her, and Ellie struggles to reconcile his teachings—the idea that nothing has inherent reality; that the way to salvation is through abandonment of the self–with the intense pain in her heart. Ellie's devotion to Calvin will lead her to undertake an expedition to Tibet on his behalf; there, injured and in danger on a solo trek, she will have to choose between devotion and her own life.

Tom Frazier is the co-founder and CEO of Redivider, a company that is making sustainable & responsible edge computing. But first, what is edge computing? You might not realize it, but every single device you use and every single platform you interact with is storing massive amounts of data somewhere. And the farther away from you physically these data centers are the more inefficient and unsustainable they become. Edge computing is the idea that we should keep the source of our data closer to where we're physically located, which is no easy task. In theory, this could help us be more sustainable, more efficient, and more secure in a world where our data is floating around everywhere, and can easily fall into the wrong hands. Now this is one of those subjects that is extremely timely, especially as we march headfirst into a future that is entirely digital. Redivider builds modular, smaller facilities, and diverse locations which enables faster data processing and increased to capacity, and they're also focused on improving sustainability, because their modular solutions are hydrogen powered. This episode falls into the category of something that humanity desperately needs, but we don't necessarily know we do yet, and that's why I'm so excited to share this conversation with you today. ➡️ https://www.redivider.co/ ➡️ https://rosspalmer.com/tom-frazier ➡️ Follow me on Instagram: @therosspalmer ➡️ Subscribe on YouTube: @therosspalmer

Transparency in Tech by Ramprate w/ Tony Greenberg BRT S04 EP33 (196) 8-20-2023   What We Learned This Week Tony and Ramprate work with about 40 companies. ·         The core mission he wants to see from all companies is what type of impact can they have, how do they create value to help society. ·         Question: What is the social impact of all technology companies? ·         We need more transparency by companies with pricing  ·         Service agreements with tech companies are very long and hard to follow. Need a summary of the rights of the end user.         Guest: Tony Greenberg, CEO of Ramprate   https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonygreenberg/   https://tonygreenberg.com/   https://ramprate.com/it-sourcing/leadership-team/   Tony Greenberg, CEO An unstoppable force of connecting great minds and generating ideas, Tony Greenberg spent 20 years pushing against the immovable object of myopia and corruption in how enterprise technology is bought and sold before turning his powers for the good of the blockchain community. As investor and advisor to more than a dozen startups focused on maximizing social impact in blockchain, health care, and emerging markets, he is mentoring executive teams as well as building partnerships and go-to-market strategies to turn good ideas into thriving businesses. As CEO of RampRate, he is saving millions, improving flexibility, and optimizing supplier relationships for more than 100 top brands such as Microsoft, eBay, Nike, and Hearst, while ensuring that corporate social responsibility becomes a bigger part of IT decision making. Prior, he held senior executive-level positions with market-creating technology and digital media innovators including Raindance and Exodus. His clients have run the gamut from traditional broadcasters (NBC, Fox, etc.) to massively multiplayer games (Blizzard / World of Warcraft, Riot Games / League of Legends, etc.) to eCommerce (eBay, Nike, Ticketmaster, etc.) to telecom (AT&T, Verizon, Level 3, Vodafone), high tech giants (Microsoft, Intel, Broadcom), publishers (Hearst, McGraw Hill, Scholastic, Scripps)  and new online business models (Sony Crackle, Snapchat). While running RampRate, Tony has supported innovative startups and social impact  driven projects, including an artist-focused royalties financial management project with Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics and Universal Music; innovative companies in peer-to-peer delivery; and several major hits in the blockchain arena, such ad Block.one;  He is currently an advisor/investor to startups in motion capture / VR/AR (Limitless); innovative networking (Syntropy);  blockchain technologies; and several social impact and wellness-related ventures, as well as creating early-stage ventures in IT waste reduction and socially responsible sourcing.         Notes     Seg 1   Tony has worked in the technology industry for 25 years plus originally starting in data centers and IT. And since moved onto consulting with companies and even investing in companies at times.   He will be joining us in the next segment for the rest of the show talk about the technology industry his company ram freight they work with clients, and the goal of all companies to have a purpose in the code for the world.   This is a clip of one of the companies Tony worked with. His name is Tom Fraser of Redivider and they are modernizing a data center, to be smaller, modular, and more efficient.       Seg 2   Tony and Ramprate work with about 40 companies. 10 to 20% are involved in Blockchain. The rest are typically involved in enterprise type services and software or data centers.   The core mission he wants to see from all companies is what type of impact can I have, how do they create value. What do they do to help society.   Whenever Tony works with a new company or founder or start up first off is to build the relationship. He always wants to have a friendly atmosphere with whoever the client has.   You're looking for great intention on the part of the founder and the company. For example company he worked with recently re-divider their mission is energy is impact. Tony liked their mission, the product, the advisory team and how they were gonna build and deliver on their promise.   If a company approaches Tony to raise money it is a flat out no to the proposition. Companies have a problem which is to raise money. If you fix the message in the behavior of the company then you can go and raise money.   Anytime Tony's going to work with a company there is a due diligence period, will do interviews with the top people at the company. Sometimes they invest money in the company or sometimes their services Plearn them equity in the company. A lot of clients are referred through past relationships. Takes weeks to three months to do this background check. Tony calls of the hundred day handshake.   Networking and relationships is Keita any business. Rolodex Tony's Rolodex is very large.   Seg 3   Tony‘s background originally started in the retail industry specifically eyewear and eventually sold out of it. 1996 he started moving into Internet companies.   Got involved with a data center company which eventually went public an IPO. Then he was doing enterprise sales with very large technology companies.   Next phase was on to consulting, product management and even MNA. A boutique organization now is ramp right no levers. What they do specifically is negotiate IT contracts and then may take a percentage of the savings. They work in all forms of IT.   Circa 2013 one of the focuses they started moving onto it was Blockchain businesses in democracy nation of technology. Tony is a big believer in fair play and a win-win relationship.   Blockchain companies have what's called an icy oh or an initial coin offer, which is similar to an IPO. Blockchain initially was built in bitcoin mines a.k.a. another type of data center.   You always want to look at what is the eco-footprint, or carbon footprint of these companies.   Another company Tony's working with deals with plant medicines and helping communities. Bigger goal is to decentralized the medicine industry.   understand there is a difference between Blockchain bitcoin and decentralization, these are three different things.   Tony is a big believer though in Crypto in peer to peer money. He does not like how big business screws people using a large supply chain.   He would like to see more transparency and likes the objectives of the Blockchain companies the Dow DAO to decentralize     Seg 4   We have a love-hate relationship with large companies like Apple. We love their services and they're great products but we hate their fears and sometimes how they operate.   Question: What is the social impact of all technology companies?   Blind computer programs with a corporation you always have the lowest cost producer, and often there in the most innovative. There is a need for this, but they can also abuse their status.   We need more transparency by companies, transparency with government pricing and fears and what type of return they get.   Example currently would be Netflix with the streaming viewership. Netflix operates on the CPM advertising model. There is real lack of trust because Netflix does not publish their viewership numbers.   Tony is a client of a company called forward medical. Problem is forward medical advertise like they are medical company when in fact they were actually an Internet advertising company. They just sell memberships. It's a unique idea but the service is not great.   Service agreements with tech companies are very long and hard to follow. Need a summary of the rights of the end user. More transparency.   A friend of Tony, Michael Turpin Hanover landmark court case where a Sim card was stolen from his phone. The card was stolen by an employee of his cellular user AT&T. AT&T claimed it was not responsible for what happened even though it's an inside job. Michael won the lawsuit and the case.   Tony doesn't want sound like Ralph Nader but he agrees with some of the past ideas. This month are recurring services with tech companies even though they don't provide service half the time it's not a great deal.   Slack is an example of a very good company that does not bill you if you do not use it.       Seg. 1 – Clips from a previous tech show:   Guest: Tom Frazier - Co-Founder & CEO Tom Frazier, the co-founder and CEO of Redivider, boasts an impressive 25-year career, driving transformational and disruptive initiatives in future tech, B2B, and public sectors.

The enterprise part of the business uses very large facilities, thank warehouse size. The data industry started in the 1970s, and by the 1980s it was growing fast.   Currently it is 3 to 5% of the worlds power consumption. 90% of the historical data was created in the past three years. It will be five times that size in the next five years.   Current capacity cannot keep up. The solution by re-divider is to make smaller modular facilities. This would be the size of a shipping container and could be delivered to a site.   You will have the ability to get online and up and running faster. This also tackles the second issue of data centers which is what is the sustainability and environmental impact over the long term.   Large data centers use 200 to 300 MW power first one Mac a lot for a small re-divider facility. Also it is not tied to the powered grid, which is dated, complex, and hard to fix.   There is a high legacy cost in the current data centers. I'll re-divider would need is on site power. The components are modular so you can increase size if needed. Re-divider builds and a prefab set up.   The traditional data factory would be a two-year construction project with lots of planning. Prefab David data center plus prefab power could be installed in 30 days.       Full Show: HERE       Tech Topic: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/category/Tech   More - BRT Best of Tech: Best of AZ Tech Council BRT of Tech 2022 BRT S02 EP52 (99) 12-26-2021 – Tech for the Holidays – BRT    Thanks for Listening Please Subscribe to the Podcast   Business Roundtable with Matt Battaglia The show where Entrepreneurs, High Level Executives, Business Owners, and Investors come to share insight and ideas about the future of business. BRT 2.0 looks at the new trends in business, and how classic industries are evolving.  Common Topics Discussed: Business, Entrepreneurship, Investing, Stocks, Cannabis, Tech, Blockchain / Crypto, Real Estate, Legal, Sales, Charity, and more…  BRT Podcast Home Page: https://brt-show.libsyn.com/ ‘Best Of' BRT Podcast: Click Here BRT Podcast on Google: Click Here BRT Podcast on Spotify: Click Here                    More Info: https://www.economicknight.com/podcast-brt-home/ KFNX Info: https://1100kfnx.com/weekend-featured-shows/   Disclaimer: The views and opinions expressed in this program are those of the Hosts, Guests and Speakers, and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of any entities they represent (or affiliates, members, managers, employees or partners), or any Station, Podcast Platform, Website or Social Media that this show may air on.

To realize this future, innovations beyond conventional methods are necessary. We firmly believe that pre-fabricated modular facilities are the key to unlocking success for several domains.    Notes: Redivider Data Centers are smaller in module, size of a shipping container versus a standard data center which could be a huge warehouse   Technology will be used to help the growth of the smart city or cloud an edge computing services   The growing use of AI programs like ChatGPT impacts the water supply as the needed cooling for data centers is massive, 5 mil gallons of water are used per day, and 40% of that water is lost due to evaporation   Social impact of data centers in the tech industry, being outsourced by corporations to other corporations     Seg 1 The data center industry is enormous. The enterprise part of the business uses very large facilities, thank warehouse size. The data industry started in the 1970s, and by the 1980s it was growing fast.   Currently it is 3 to 5% of the worlds power consumption. 90% of the historical data was created in the past three years. It will be five times that size in the next five years.   Current capacity cannot keep up. The solution by re-divider is to make smaller modular facilities. This would be the size of a shipping container and could be delivered to a site.   You will have the ability to get online and up and running faster. This also tackles the second issue of data centers which is what is the sustainability and environmental impact over the long term.   Large data centers use 200 to 300 MW power first one Mac a lot for a small re-divider facility. Also it is not tied to the powered grid, which is dated, complex, and hard to fix.   There is a high legacy cost in the current data centers. I'll re-divider would need is on site power. The components are modular so you can increase size if needed. Re-divider builds and a prefab set up.   The traditional data factory would be a two-year construction project with lots of planning. Prefab David data center plus prefab power could be installed in 30 days.   Facilities are pushed strategically around the country. This is to enhance speed and performance. You need your computing power closer. Examples would be edge programs for the cloud. Re-divider would allow your data center to be right on site.   Seg 2 Tom's bio, he worked in university in mid 90s. Then he worked in security to find vulnerabilities in data centers.   Redivider allows more work from home and the need for data flexibility. Since the pandemic and people working from home there has been a volume of data shift it's not just during the day anymore, it's when needed. Data management is the next layer of the Internet.   There is huge global demand and need new solutions to satisfy this demand. Problem, power for the current data center comes from the grid with maybe 1 to 2% renewable energy.   Corporations will need to do two things going forward. Number one, high transparency and carbon use in accounting. Number two cleaner tech from the start, natural gas hydrogen or batteries.   UPS or uninterrupted power is what most companies need. There is a need to adjust strategies and control your ecosystem better.   Regarding current eco-friendly power sources, solar panels are not practical as you would need too many. Wind is OK but you must be near a wind power source. Another possibility is hydrogen.   2016 yard 286 MW being used. By 2030 it will be one terawatt. Can the grid operators keep up?   Seg 3 Re-divider is trying to solve the problem for the enterprise customer. You have companies now that need so much data, hyper scholars. need more cloud data centers. Social media and big companies like Facebook or TikTok have huge demand and still growing.   Re-divider was started in 2021 with a focus on people in the environment. What are the needs of humanity and the corporate directives.   Tom's partner Eric, had a history of working in the supply chain. Re-divider works with contractors to build the modular data centers.   They also work with a partnership with NZ around who create software platform for carbon accounting.   Enterprise IT currently has a very large carbon footprint. It is actually two times the size versa data center. How to think about sustainability and accountability of corporate data use.   The goal with re-divider is to be cost neutral on carbon with added benefit of strategic alignment. Re-divider gives more data capacity and also keeps projects and skills moving.   Corporations in the future will align incentives and costs. There are many companies investing in AI and will need more data and computing capacity going forward.   Also you see an IOT or Internet of things more and more sensors and small chips in products. Manufacturing multiple tech products and adding tech sensors into things like radios, TVs, cars.   Smart cities use sensors all around the city to collect data. There's always governance and legal concerns. The idea of smart cities is to map out the city better, traffic flow, to then grow the city appropriately.   Seg 4 Opportunity of re-divider to help with the sustainability of technology companies. Current data centers are allowed and physically placed outside cities and away from people. There is high noise pollution with the data center as well as the previous cooling and carbon issues discussed.   Re-divide our uses immersion cooling inside their data centers. Put the technology in fluid that conducts heat better, move called air in the computer and hot air at out. In a traditional data center you need huge air conditioners to call the hot air and move the air.   Redivide early could use data centers with other buildings and literally build underground. You could have prime on site data computing with low to no emissions.   There are no fans in a re-divider unit. The die electric fluid used where a rack of computer equipment is literally put in the fluid.   This gives a chance for more economic growth, especially if you build these data centers in opportunity zones.

Tom Frazier is the Co-Founder and CEO of Redivider. He boasts an impressive 25-year career, driving transformational and disruptive architectural initiatives in future tech, B2B, and public sectors. As a serial entrepreneur, Tom founded Redivider based on his extensive knowledge of data centers and a passion for revolutionizing the industry. Committed to prioritizing people, the planet, and profits, Tom is devoted to spearheading innovation in the digital economy. It's estimated that globally, data centers use two percent of the world's electricity. The US averages 90 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity each year according to Energy Central. In fact, they can generate the same amount of carbon emissions as the airline industry. Specialized computing demand is also growing significantly faster than energy capacity. Meanwhile, the data centers themselves have become huge facilities that do little or nothing for the local communities in which they reside. Redivider aims to empower communities by bringing energy and investment that deliver prosperity (health, wealth, and education) to areas designated for economic development. This includes hiring and training new talent as well as offering them stakeholder opportunities in the company too. Having served as a cloud and security strategic director for a Fortune 10 company, Tom has been instrumental in securing some of the world's largest digital footprints. He started his remarkable journey as the youngest faculty/staff hire at his university. ‌Tom holds a patent for a “System for Processing Customer Records” and obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Information Technology from the Rochester Institute of Technology. ‌Outside of his professional life, Tom enjoys spending time at his hobby farm, traveling the world to teach dance, and cherishing his roles as a leader, teacher, husband, and father to his two young children.

Keema and Tekla Waterfield join Let's Talk Memoir for a conversation about being raised by a young single mother in Southeast Alaska after their father left the family. With very little money but a passion for music and art, their mother moved them frequently in pursuit of her education, gigs, and new relationships. As the sisters grew, art and their at-times traumatic childhood led each of the sisters on different paths. Keema wrote Inside Passage, a memoir about her nomadic Alaskan childhood, the toll her upbringing took on her, and the effect it had on her relationship with her mother. Tekla became a singer-songwriter whose most recent release, "New Skies" landed in the NACC Top 30 Folk Album Charts in October of 2021. In this special holiday episode they share their perspective on their childhood, how each of them grappled with their father leaving, and why art has always been central in their lives.   Keema Waterfield Keema Waterfield is the author of Inside Passage, a nomadic childhood memoir set along the wild coast of Southeast Alaska.

Welcome to the Indie Writer Podcast where we talk about all things writing and indie publishing. Today we are excited to talk about Memoir Backlash Yasmin Azad, Esther Amini, & Megan Culhane Galbraith. Yasmin Azad who was born and raised in Ceylon, (now called Sri Lanka), was among the first group of girls in her Muslim community to go away from home to pursue a university degree.  In her twenties, after a brief stint as a lecturer, she married and moved to the United States. Living mostly in the Boston area, she raised her children and worked for over two decades as a mental health counselor. Her memoir Stay, Daughter, draws on her experiences growing up in a warm and close-knit but conservative society which at first resisted the education and independence of women but had, eventually, to embrace modernity. It is also informed by an understanding derived from her work as a counselor in the West, that the breakdown of traditional family values and structures comes with its own challenges, especially for women. She is currently working on a novel which explores the issues of family and belonging. Esther Amini is a writer, painter, and psychoanalytic psychotherapist in private practice. Her debut memoir is entitled Concealed: Memoir of a Jewish-Iranian Daughter Caught Between the Chador and America. Her short stories have appeared in Elle, Lilith, Tablet, The Jewish Week, Barnard Magazine, TK University's Inscape Literary, Proximity, Paper Brigade, and Medium.com.   Her essays can also be found in Zibby Owens' Anthologies Moms Don't Have Time To and Moms Don't Have Time To Have Kids. Esther Amini was named one of Aspen Words' best emerging memoirists and awarded its Emerging Writer Fellowship in 2016.  Seven of her pieces have been performed by Jewish Women's Theatre, (a.k.a. The Braid), in Los Angeles and in Manhattan, and she was chosen by Jewish Women's Theatre as their Artist-in-Residence in 2019. ChaiFlicks, (Jewish Netflix), is presently streaming an excerpt from Concealed called AM-REE-KAH. Megan Culhane Galbraith is a writer and visual artist. Her work was a Notable Mention in Best American Essays 2017, has been nominated for two Pushcart Prizes, and has been published in Tupelo Quarterly, Redivider, Catapult, Hobart, Longreads, and Hotel Amerika, among others.

Caleb Johnson claims he could score nine points in an NBA Finals game. Other fictions he's spun include his fantastic debut novel, TREEBORNE, which is set in his native Alabama. He and James talk about staying true to the storytelling tradition, writing in dialect, giving characters autonomy, and reading the right book at the right time.

Weike Wang is a graduate of Harvard University, where she earned her undergraduate degree in chemistry and her doctorate in public health. She received her MFA from Boston University. Her fiction has been published in or is forthcoming from Alaska Quarterly Review, Glimmer Train, The Journal, Ploughshares, Redivider, and SmokeLong Quarterly. ABOUT THE BOOK Three years into her graduate studies at a demanding Boston university, the unnamed narrator of this nimbly wry, concise debut finds her one-time love for chemistry is more hypothesis than reality. She’s tormented by her failed research—and reminded of her delays by her peers, her advisor, and most of all by her Chinese parents, who have always expected nothing short of excellence from her throughout her life. But there’s another, nonscientific question looming: the marriage proposal from her devoted boyfriend, a fellow scientist, whose path through academia has been relatively free of obstacles, and with whom she can’t make a life before finding success on her own. Eventually, the pressure mounts so high that she must leave everything she thought she knew about her future, and herself, behind. And for the first time, she’s confronted with a question she won’t find the answer to in a textbook: What do I really want? Over the next two years, this winningly flawed, disarmingly insightful heroine learns the formulas and equations for a different kind of chemistry—one in which the reactions can’t be quantified, measured, and analyzed; one that can be studied only in the mysterious language of the heart. Taking us deep inside her scattered, searching mind, here is a brilliant new literary voice that astutely juxtaposes the elegance of science, the anxieties of finding a place in the world, and the sacrifices made for love and family.

Good afternoon everyone and welcome to another edition of The Avid Reader. Today we are pleased to have with us Weike Wang author of Chemistry, her first novel, published in May by Knopf. Weike is a graduate of Harvard where she earned her undergraduate degree in chemistry and her doctorate in public health. She received her MFA from Boston University and her fiction has been published in Ploughshares, Glimmer Train and Redivider. Chemistry is an academic novel of sorts. It’s a love story too and a life journey as well, but it is the academic side of it that I really like because it is really really funny. I learned that a Chinese proverb dictates that a mastery of math, physics and chemistry leads to fearlessness anywhere in the world. I also learned that our unnamed narrator who tutors science students feels that they want the mastery of this knowledge delivered through a tube, uploaded by the tutor at their weekly sessions. I learned that the triangle is the strongest of shapes. As Weike says, when you think geometry think triangles. What is so strange about this book and so enchanting is that that sentence is followed with a desire to design apartments that do not echo. A revocation of sound’s ability to echo in the first place. Strange. But cool. Whether I am learning that there is a mineral 58 percent harder than diamonds. Lonsdaleite which can only be made by smashing meteorites together (kinda) or that there is something called an argon box that chemistry students use to do their experiments or when the experiments go wrong want to put their heads inside of, I was always learning. The key to this book, is that each little factoid, aphorism or hint from Steven Hawking is also a hint at our narrator’s life situation. And it is a pretty gnarly one. She has a great boyfriend, a pretty horrible academic career going on and a seeming inability to decide pretty much anything. She is also a bit of a drunk. So the question is, as we learn and read, where is she going to end up. Which I can’t tell you and I don’t even know for sure where she does end up. But the trip is lots of fun, and even though we feel for I’ll call her Samantha, we also are able to laugh out loud through the whole of this short but jam packed first novel.

Hemmed in by what she 'should' be writing, Clare Beams turned a corner by freeing herself to write what would become the title story in her phenomenal collection WE SHOW WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED. James was fortunate enough to edit one of Clare's stories for ONE STORY, and they discuss that experience as well as putting her collection together, how she ignored advice to maintain a consistent level of weird, and exploring the limitlessness of short fiction. Plus Emily Smith, publisher at Lookout Books, describes the unique program at the University of North Carolina Wilmington.  -  Clare Beams: http://www.clarebeams.com/ Clare and James discuss:  Columbia University  "The School" by Donald Barthelme  Kelly Link  Aimee Bender  Alice Munro  Hannah Tinti  Annie Hartnett  HAYDEN'S FERRY REVIEW ECOTONE  LOOKOUT BOOKS THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY THE NEW YORKER ONE STORY Beth Staples  Emily Smith  Erin Kottke  BINOCULAR VISION by Edith Pearlman  PEN: Robert Bingham Prize for Debut Fiction  Young Lions Fiction Award  - Lookout Books: http://www.lookout.org/index.html Emily and James discuss: The Sewanee Writers' Conference  Michelle Brower  ECOTONE  National Endowment for the Arts Association of Writing Programs  David Gessner  Jeff Sharlet  The Publishing Laboratory  Stanley Colbert  THE BOTTLE CHAPEL AT AIRLIE GARDENS: A TRIBUTE TO MINNIE EVANS  BACKYARD CAROLINA by Andy Wood  THE HATTARASMAN by Ben Dixon MacNeill BINOCULAR VISION by Edith Pearlman GOD BLESS AMERICA by Steve Almond Beth Staples  Anna Lena Phillips Bell  Melissa Crowe BELOIT POETRY JOURNAL   HONEY FROM THE LION by Matthew Neill Null  South Arts  "Granna" by Clare Beams  "We Show What We Have Learned" by Clare Beams  Ben George  WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS OLD: POEMS by John Rybicki  RIVER BEND CHRONICLE by Ben Miller  MADRAS PRESS  Sumanth Prabhaker  Corinne Manning  THE JAMES FRANCO REVIEW PLOUGHSHARES  REDIVIDER  ONE STORY  INSURRECTIONS by Rion Amilcar Scott  - http://tkpod.com / tkwithjs@gmail.com / Twitter: @JamesScottTK Instagram: tkwithjs / Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/tkwithjs/

After a series of tragedies, Hannah Tinti figured out what she truly cares about, and in doing so, rediscovered the spark in her writing, resulting in her brilliant and immensely entertaining new novel, THE TWELVE LIVES OF SAMUEL HAWLEY. She and James discuss finding community in the lonely business of writing, immediately knowing which pieces of a book belong, using roadsigns to create tension, and having the audacity to write about whales. They also discuss Hannah's incredible work in co-creating and editing the literary magazine ONE STORY.    Hannah Tinti: http://hannahtinti.com/ Hannah and James Discuss: Daniel Wallace  American Short Fiction  Sewanee Writers' Conference  Maribeth Batcha  "Villanova" by John Hodgman  NYU  Writers House, A Literary Agency  Devin Emke  THE AREAS OF MY EXPERTISE by John Hodgman  THE BOSTON REVIEW  ATLANTIC MONTHLY  C.
