Podcasts about Sprigg

Sense And Sensibility is Ang Lee's take on an English tale of manners, money and matrimony. The Taiwanese director was an outsider to this world, obviously, but he also brought a formality and desperate longing to this project. Lead actress Emma Thompson won an Oscar for her adaptation of Jane Austen's classic novel. And it's a good role, doing the buttoned-down thing she did so well back in the '90s. She's a funny woman who made her name being serious. Kate Winslet, Alan Rickman and Hugh Grant are all very good too, but the men take a back seat to the sisters in this movie about (subtle) feminism. So rescue the woman you adore while on a horse when she gets caught in the rain and then try to love enough for two as our 669th episode has the Ellises seeing what the deal is with the Dashwoods and their men in Sense And Sensibility. Well, Actually: at the 11:55 mark, it should be Elizabeth "Spriggs" plural, not "Sprigg" singular. Also, the director of the oft-mentioned 1994 Little Women was Gillian Armstrong.

Have you ever thought of segregation as a form of restraint for an elder living with dementia? In this episode of “Let Me Say This About That” we explore that view of memory care and many other interesting perspectives on aging shared by Pat Sprigg.   Sprigg is the president and CEO of Carol Woods, a retirement community in North Carolina without locked wards or other barriers between people living with dementia and the rest of the community. In episode 95, Susan Ryan sat down with Sprigg to discuss her decades of dedication to the empowerment of all elders, as well as the value in working for an organization where not everyone agrees on what constitutes a best practice. Marla explores the proliferation of segregation and what it means to be an inclusive community.  Mary gives us a closer look at Carol Woods, how it came to fruition, and the foundational practices in that community. Find out why they have never hired an activities director! We also take a look at the Green House Best Life principles that align quite well with Carol Woods.   Marla also takes a deeper dive into the background of Lloyd Lewis, who played an important role in the career of Sprigg and the 1989 Senate Symposium on “Untie the Elderly: Quality Care Without Restraints.”   Learn more about pathways to dementia inclusion: https://youtu.be/qbm8K6_Ap-U Learn more about the Green House Best Life Approach: https://thegreenhouseproject.org/solutions/Best_Life_Memory_Care Learn more about The Green House Project: www.thegreenhouseproject.org Register for GHP's newest in-person and virtual event, DementiaVerse: thegreenhouseproject.org/events/dementiaverse

Pat Sprigg set off on her journey to change eldercare after observing firsthand the horrors of the “best practices” – powerful antipsychotic drugs and physical restraints – that were commonplace in the dementia treatment programs of the 1970s and 1980s. But even as many facilities moved away from such dangerous and dehumanizing strategies, Sprigg came to believe that the next wave of best practices were just as damaging: Segregating people living with dementia into their own units behind locked doors, in Sprigg's view, was just another form of physical restraint that robbed elders of their civil liberties and personal autonomy. As CEO of Carol Woods, a retirement community in North Carolina, Sprigg has fostered an environment without locked wards or other barriers between people living with dementia and the rest of the community.  Sprigg sat down with Susan Ryan to discuss her decades of dedication the empowerment of all elders, as well as the value in working for an organization where not everyone agrees on what constitutes a best practice – and how such professional disagreements can break old patterns of thinking to create a better future. Sprigg also explains how comprehensive benefits for workers helped Carol Woods weather COVID-19 better than most senior communities, and why people should still be excited about entering the field – after all, she went from never wanting to work in the sector as a recent graduate to an upcoming retirement as CEO after 46 years in the space.   Learn more about Carol Woods: www.carolwoods.org/ Dive into the history of the “Untying the Elderly” movement: www.aging.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/reports/rpt589.pdf Learn more about The Green House Project: www.thegreenhouseproject.org Register for GHP's newest in-person and virtual event, DementiaVerse: thegreenhouseproject.org/events/dementiaverse

It seems like Almost Yesterday that hundreds of comic books and magazines, judged as indecent and unfit for children, were ceremonially burned in Cape Girardeau . The date was February 24, 1949, and the location was St. Mary’s High School on the corner of Sprigg and William Streets. This large burning was one of many that emerged across the nation in 1948-49, seeking to eliminate the perceived dangers of the “new” graphic comic books. In the Depression years of the 1930’s, comic books gained widespread popularity, and began to attract criticism for the vivid use of violence. But, World War II brought even greater use of graphic violence, and by the end of the war more than 60 million comic books per month were being sold in the United States. In 1948 critics of this new and popular form of entertainment found an articulate voice in Dr. Fredric Wertham, a German-born medical doctor, who blamed comic books for the troubling new behavior in youngsters. In 1948 Dr. Wertham published a

Based in country Western Australia, Sprigg uses recycled metals found from retired machinery, scrap heaps and clearance sales. Some of the pieces found dating over 100 years old and used by the earliest settlers of Western Australia. The objects he produces range from dragonflies, owls and seahorses, to larger scale sharks, eagles and even horses.⁠ The scrap iron sculptures are purposely left in their rusted state to highlight the age of the metal and the history of each piece. From springs, gears, bearings and nuts to bolts, shovels, pliers and saws, the list is endless as to what the artist makes use of in his work. Understanding and appreciation of these timeworn parts of a past life allow space for the creation of a new life in their current composition.⁠ Get in touch with https://www.jordanspriggsculptures.com.au/ (Jordan).

Well once again we have an amazing show for your entertainment, DJ brings us news of a new anime series, Buck has news about brain circuits, good and bad decision making, and finally the Professor brings us news about fraud and scams. But first up we wish to just say welcome ad thank you for joining us once again. Now the new anime series is called Dr Stone, set in a post-apocalyptic world where everyone has been turned into… Statues and society is to be rebuilt using science. So the premise is looking interesting, the promo gives some comedic content to look forward to. It looks like it will be worth checking out for a laugh. We wish to advise that no DJ’s were harmed during the recording of this and he was ok, just a bit stranger than normal. Which in itself is quite remarkable really, but we digress. Dr Stone has 24 episodes at this point and aired from 5th July on Crunchyroll. So, check it out and let us know what you think. Now, have you ever wondered why people continue to make the same silly decision repeatedly? For example, people repeatedly using harmful drugs, voting once again for moronic politicians, and reality television shows still being watched. Seriously who watches that stuff, can they just stop it please so we can get better content that doesn’t make us want to claw our eyes out! Umm, yes, bad decisions, well a recent study has been conducted and shows support for the hypothesis that three particular regions of the brain are involved. That’s right, it is not just the frontal lobe, it bounces between various sections and is actually quite involved. If one section is not working right then the result is an individual with a predilection for bad choices, like the foolish nut job mumble rappers like lil stump, or is that bump, whatever, no one cares really. This is when Buck starts to get technical with some of his explanation and has to pause to calm down. Professor tells us that game developers would rather we pirate games from something called file sharing, whatever that is. They urge this be done instead of using G2A due to a constant amount of fraudulent activity causing problems for both consumers and developers alike. That’s right folks, game developers are apparently tired of nasty vermin cheats who are ripping off everyone, this is a very interesting topic that has a number of issues involved and hits at the heart of our gaming recreation. So check it out and see what exactly is happening. As usual we have the shout outs, remembrances, birthdays and special events of interest for the week. We also wish to say that a surprise mechanism is a trap, and so are loot boxes, so please EA, stop treating us as morons. But other than that, please remember to take care of yourselves, look out for each other and stay hydrated. Also check out the folks at Off with the Fairies and tell them we said hello.

Guest Peter S. Sprigg, Senior Fellow for Policy Studies at the Family Research Council, discusses the recent Values Voter Summit. For three days last month, Christians and social conservatives from around the country gathered in the nation's capital for the 11th Annual Values Voter Summit. Sponsored from the start by FRC Action, the legislative affiliate arm of the Family Research Council, the Summit provides a forum to help inform and mobilize citizens across America to preserve the bedrock values of traditional marriage, religious liberty, sanctity of life, and limited government. Other similar organizations also helped sponsor the event. This latest Summit was truly groundbreaking. For the first time in its history, a sitting president, Donald Trump, was in attendance. Other notable speakers included talk show host Laura Ingram, civil rights leader Dr. Alveda King, March for Life president Jeannie Mancini, Live Action's founder and president Lila Rose, and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, among others. There were a number of breakout sessions featuring panel discussions on a variety of issues. Discussions included what the religious liberty movement can learn from the pro life movement, transgender ideology in public schools, political and social engagement, and personal stories about fighting for religious freedom.. Find more details about the Summit at valuesvotersummit.org.
