fWotD Episode 3087: Neutral Milk Hotel Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Friday, 17 October 2025, is Neutral Milk Hotel.Neutral Milk Hotel was an American band formed by Jeff Mangum in Ruston, Louisiana, in the late 1980s. They were active until 1998, and then from 2013 to 2015. The band's music featured a deliberately low-quality sound, influenced by indie rock and psychedelic folk. Mangum wrote surreal and opaque lyrics that covered a wide range of topics, including love, spirituality, nostalgia, sex, and loneliness. He and the other band members played a variety of instruments, including non-traditional instruments like the singing saw and uilleann pipes.Neutral Milk Hotel began as one of Mangum's home recording projects. After graduating high school, Mangum lived as a vagabond and sporadically released music. In 1996, he worked with childhood friend Robert Schneider to record the album On Avery Island, which received modest reviews and sold around 5,000 copies. Mangum recruited musicians Julian Koster, Jeremy Barnes, and Scott Spillane for the band's second album, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. Its 1998 release received mostly positive, but not laudatory reviews.While on tour, the band's popularity grew through Internet exposure. This negatively affected Mangum, whose mental health began to deteriorate; he did not want to continue touring and Neutral Milk Hotel went on hiatus shortly after. During their hiatus, Neutral Milk Hotel gained a cult following and the critical standing of In the Aeroplane Over the Sea rose tremendously. Several music outlets such as Pitchfork and Blender called In the Aeroplane Over the Sea a landmark album for indie rock and one of the greatest albums of the 1990s. Many indie rock groups such as Arcade Fire and the Decemberists were influenced by Neutral Milk Hotel's eclectic music and earnest lyrics. Neutral Milk Hotel reunited in 2013 and undertook a reunion tour before another hiatus in 2015.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:38 UTC on Friday, 17 October 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Neutral Milk Hotel 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 Bluesky at @wikioftheday.com.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Ayanda.

Ruston Miles, Founder and Chief Strategy and Development Officer at Bluefin and I start with the origin story: telecom roots, fiber‑rich Tulsa, and the overlooked reality of call centers that needed real‑time authorizations long before shopping carts ruled the web. Ruston explains why Bluefin moved into security early - serving higher ed, nonprofits, and faith‑based media where brand trust is everything and how that path led to P2PE. Then comes the turning point: a decision to decouple encryption from acquiring, offer P2PE as a service, and even power competitors. That platform approach now supports around 150 devices across 17 manufacturers and underpins airlines, transport systems, fuel networks, and more, often quietly and often by requirement.From there, we look ahead. Network tokens are rising, wallets are changing, and AI is pushing commerce from clicks to intent. Ruston separates hype from reality, showing how today's “agentic” automation schedules deliveries and completes checkouts, while tomorrow's agents will present payment credentials securely without platforms ever seeing raw card data. That shift demands virtual P2PE, inter‑agent boundary mediation, and standards that let authentication and encryption travel with the transaction. We also get practical: how Bluefin's P2PE‑as‑Proxy reduces integration pain, why security must keep pace with innovation, and what skills newcomers need as software continues to digest payments.If you care about payments security, PCI, P2PE, tokenization, gateways, ISVs, and the future of agentic commerce, you'll find plenty to take back to your roadmap. 

Chelsea Krobetzky has authored an incredible story. The Bulldogs pitching coach was faced with the difficulty of leaving home to continue her career internationally after starring at Arkansas, and then again in following Head Coach Josh Taylor from Nevada to Ruston. In between that, Krobetzky met her husband, Tyler (whom she works alongside on Taylor's staff). Molding together family and love for the game has fueled her personally and professionally. A fixture of the culture and expectations attached to Tech softball, Krobetzky continues to prove instrumental in strengthening the ‘Dogs brand on and off the diamond.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the 2022 documentary The Elephant 6 Recording Co., they waste no time in addressing a very valid question: What exactly is Elephant 6? Is it a record label? (Yes, but not always.) Is it a collective of likeminded visionaries? (Yes.) Is the epicenter of E6 Athens, GA? Denver? Ruston, LA? (Yes. Yes. Yes.) It started with four high school friends in Ruston, Louisiana - Robert Schneider, Jeff Mangum, Will Cullen Hart, and Bill Doss - who shared a love of home recording and '60s psych pop and needed an imaginary label for their self-circulated tapes. Soon, the foursome of friends would form the three seminal bands of the collective - Schneider would relocate to Denver and put together the Apples in Stereo, with the other three heading to Athens. Hart and Doss would become the driving force behind Olivia Tremor Control and Mangum would establish his primary focus Neutral Milk Hotel. From there, it's a long and winding family tree with a lineage of interconnected bands sharing members in common and/or an aesthetic. For more than 30 years, E6 has represented a trademark of quality for lovers of intelligent, imaginative, blissful, beautifully strange pop music. According to the E6 website, there are a mere 51 bands who can lay claim to being an "official" part of the collective, and we are fortunate to have one of them joining us for this discussion of some of our favorite E6 songs. The Rishis are centered around the married duo of songwriters/vocalists Ranjan Avasthi and Sofie Lute, with keyboardist Marcel Sletten also joining us. Their transcendent self-titled second album (out now on Cloud Recordings) features the band's stunning combination of rootsy folk-pop, cosmic washes of hazy psychedelia, and the mystical power of Indian music. They bring the same energy and positivity that their music possesses to O3L. Word up! Dedicated to the memory of Bill Doss (1968-2012) and Will Cullen Hart (1971-2024).

There is no road to Salmon Beach, so lace up your hiking boots. Join high school filmmaker Rowan Hinds and anthropologist Andrew Gardner as they guide you down the hill—past the bluff, beneath the madronas and into a shoreline community perched between tide and cliff. Reachable only by boat or a steep staircase, the beach you'll discover hugs a narrow bend of Puget Sound known as the Tacoma Narrows. It's home to 81 cabins on stilts and neighbors simply call themselves “Beachers.” Life here moves to the rhythm of the tide, the scent of salt air and the slow churn of generations. You'll hear stories of cannon blasts, chainsaw diplomacy, creaking decks and driftwood forts. Listen as archival voices—captured through film and oral histories—recall landslides, fire and the rare joy of racing rowboats on the Fourth of July cheered on by a homegrown marching band. Raised by hand over time, with help from neighbors and materials scavenged from Galloping Gertie and Ruston's old lumber yards, the cabins we visit carry the spirit of improvisation and care. Inside, voices shaped by saltwater, king tides and shared memory echo between the pilings. And when you head back up the hill, you carry with you a portrait of community carved into the rugged edge of the Pacific Northwest. “I regard almost every single person on Salmon Beach as my neighbor. I would even go as far to say as family because, as the saying, goes you can't choose your family; but you can choose your friends and you can't really choose who you live with at Salmon Beach. So, in that way, they become family.” ~Rowan Hinds

  «Descarguen en él todas sus angustias, porque él tiene cuidado de ustedes». (1 Pedro 5:7) ¿Sabes lo que es enfrentar un problema tan grande que parecería una irresponsabilidad no preocuparse por éste? Quizás no haya nada que puedas hacer, pero sientes que necesitas, por lo menos, estar preocupado. Después de todo, ¡alguien debe hacerlo!…, y no hay nadie que esté ofreciéndose como voluntario para ese trabajo. Recuerdo que una vez me sentí exactamente de esa manera. Tenía una serie de reuniones en Ruston, Louisiana. Acababa de descubrir que nuestro presupuesto tenía un déficit de $900 dólares, y en esos días esa cantidad me parecían como ¡9 millones! El diablo atacaba mi mente diciéndome que nadie se preocupaba por mí o por mi ministerio, y me decía que yo estaba enfrentando ese problema solo. Pero en lugar de rendirme ante esos pensamientos, tomé mi Biblia y busqué cada pasaje de la Palabra de Dios que me garantizaba que todo lo que necesitaba ya había sido suplido. Luego, le entregué la preocupación de esos gastos a Dios. Le prometí que con el Espíritu Santo como mi ayudador, no tocaría ese problema con mis pensamientos otra vez. Ésa no fue una promesa fácil de cumplir. Quería preocuparme. Fui al patio del hotel donde me hospedaba y caminé alrededor de la piscina. Cada vez que pensaba en el problema, declaraba en voz alta: No, yo ya le entregué esa preocupación al Señor. No pensaré en eso. El presupuesto está en las manos de Dios. Un rato más tarde, un hombre llegó a la entrada del hotel y comenzó a tocar la bocina del automóvil. Traté de no hacerle caso porque no me gusta que me interrumpan cuando estoy orando, pero él sacó su cabeza por la ventana y gritó: “¡Ven aquí!”. Lo dijo con tanta autoridad que obedecí. Me dijo: “Hermano Copeland, siento molestarlo, pero tengo otro compromiso esta noche y llegaré tarde a la reunión. No quería perderme la ofrenda”. Entonces me entregó un cheque. Cuando regresé a mi habitación y vi el cheque, era por 500 dólares. Con la ofrenda que se recogió en la reunión de esa noche completé la cantidad que necesitaba para cubrir el presupuesto. ¿Te gustaría tener a gente persiguiéndote para suplir lo que necesitas? Entonces la próxima vez que tengas un problema, entrégaselo a Dios. Deja que Él se haga cargo del asunto. Él se ha ofrecido como voluntario para ese trabajo. Tú puedes confiar en que Él lo hará bien. Después de todo, Dios de verdad cuida de ti.

In many schools today, students hesitate to give class presentations — not because of stage fright, but because they're afraid of being secretly recorded and mocked on social media. Principals across the country are spending their time managing the aftermath of incidents sparked by viral trends like “Ship or Dip” posts. Physical altercations between students are often filmed by bystanders and shared online, amplifying the harm. In this episode, Dr. Ruston visits a middle school in Washington State and sits down with Principal Zach to explore what happened when phones were allowed on campus — and how things changed dramatically once new policies were put in place. Zach shares the powerful transformation his school has experienced, and how restorative practices are helping students learn healthier ways to resolve conflict.

This episode covers a lot of ground. On the heels of last week's episode where we had to edit out our discussion of women in special operations, that's exactly where our conversation this week starts. We originally connected with our guest because of his LinkedIn post about a woman in her senior year at the Naval Academy who has been selected to attend BUD/S, but we quickly move on to focus on how mindfulness fits into human performance. Jon Macaskill is a retired Navy SEAL Commander turned consultant and mindfulness and meditation teacher. He was born in South Africa but grew up in Ruston, Louisiana.After graduating high school, he served briefly as an enlisted sailor in the US Navy before receiving an appointment to the US Naval Academy and graduating from there with a BS in mathematics 4 years later. He also has a Master's degree in Operations Research from the Naval Postgraduate School.During his 24-year Navy career Jon served in Iraq, Afghanistan, off the coast of Somalia, and in Panama.After retiring, he served briefly as the Deputy Executive Director for the veteran nonprofit, Veteran's PATH. He now runs a podcast called Men Talking Mindfulness; does keynote speaking engagements on developing leadership, grit, and resilience; and owns his own consulting company, Frogman Mindfulness. In all three roles, his desire is to improve cultures and individuals through mindfulness, meditation, vulnerability, and compassion.Jon's wife, Beka, also served in the Navy and is now a civilian Orthopedic Physician Assistant. Together, they are the proud parents of three children, and after an adventurous 6 months as a family in an RV, they have settled on a small farm in Colorado Springs.
