This is third of four podcast episodes related to WordPress security. It's the third of our four-part security mini series. Prior to that, the other episodes featured Calvin Alkan as well as Akshat Choudhary. This is Thomas from, we watch your website giving his impression of the state of WordPress security. I did the spiel before, but I'm going to do it again in order to not put anybody's noses out of joint and to make it as fair as possible. I recorded four episodes with Calvin, Akshat, Thomas, and in a future episode, Dan Knauss from SolidWP. They all have that chance to explain the malware madness as we'll get into a little bit later. How WordPress security plugins do or don't, depending on your point of view, protect your WordPress website. Thomas is giving his opinion today and we go into loads of ground. We talk about such subjects as security plugin, and cleanup processes, previous attacks, challenges, and vulnerabilities, security features, Thomas' expertise, protecting your WordPress by blocking IPs, the motivations of hackers, and so much more.
In this episode, I delved into another control and safety theme—the "failure to fix" theme. It's a counterpart to the "fixing play" theme we explored last time. Understanding these play themes is vital for effective therapy. Failure to fix happens when a child actively tries to repair something but eventually gives up, acknowledging it cannot be fixed. I provided examples, like a pretend town being devastated by a sandstorm in play, followed by attempts to rebuild that ultimately fail. This theme often mirrors a child's feelings of hopelessness or doubts about whether any help is possible. In some cases, it's a way for the child to test the therapist, to see if they'll attempt to "fix" them. I stressed the importance of sticking to the child-centered model, highlighting how crucial it is in addressing these themes appropriately in therapy. This episode offered valuable insights into this aspect of play therapy, helping us better understand children's emotional expressions and needs.

Tresha talks with Angela Penaredondo about her third collection, nature felt but never apprehended (Noemi Press, 2022). Angela discusses how personal and world history inspired her book. She relies on reading and research to generate writing, but sometimes allows another voice, less conscious and more magical. She utilizes different parts of her voice, voices of others, and multiple themes to create a collection that is intricately layered and rewards a second reading.

This in the 15th episode of our "Thinking the Unthinkable" series. Today we are asking... is the WordPress community overrated? What have we done? This could be the end of this podcast! Let's hope nobody thinks we are trying to speak for the community, or that we even have a clue what the community truly is! We explore the diverse perspectives surrounding the WordPress community. From debates on diversity and inclusion to the avoidance of political discussions, we navigate the complexities and challenges faced by this ever-growing community. We also touch on the recent issues surrounding the handling of diversity at the European WordCamp, causing tensions to rise among community members. We begin by examining the difficulties in defining and understanding the WordPress community, recognising its immense user base in America and the UK. We share our personal experiences and observations, shedding light on the ebb and flow of community engagement, facing issues of churn, and questioning whether WordPress will maintain its relevance in the future. We also discuss the impact of online confrontations and the perception of fragmentation within the community, analysing the role of media coverage in amplifying conflicts.
What would it look like if we peeled back the curtains of societal discourse and examined the bitter truths often swept under the rug? How would our perspectives shift if we truly understood the power dynamics that govern our world? In a dynamic and insightful discussion, the Bad Roman Project welcomes back Larken Rose to the podcast, as we delve into the thought-provoking themes presented in the Jones Plantation film. Our discussion centers around the film's potent representation of debt, enslavement, and the manipulative nature of political language. In the latter part of our conversation, we admire the production brilliance behind the Jones Plantation film. From its low-budget brilliance to the unique concept of breaking the fourth wall, we explore how the movie engages its audience in a critical examination of the sociopolitical landscape. Echoing the ethos of the Bad Roman Podcast, we also discuss how the film encourages viewers to think independently, drawing their own conclusions and interpretations. Finally, we reflect on the reactions to the Jones Plantation film and its potential long-term impact. We examine the significance of the film's symbolism and the truths it presents, prompting viewers to examine their beliefs and biases. As we dissect the captivating symbolism and raw truths embedded in the film, we invite you to join us in this compelling discourse. Prepare to be intrigued by Larken's insightful reflections and ready to engage in a conversation that promises to stir thought and stimulate dialogue.

A conversation with artist and author Edmund de Waal. De Waal's artwork is characterized by large collections of his handmade pottery which are carefully arranged within specially-designed vitrines, while his books, like his New York Times Bestseller “The Hare with Amber Eyes”, examine the past through the personal stories that objects can tell.

In this episode of the Play Therapy Podcast, I delve into the crucial topic of managing messy play within the therapeutic setting, especially when dealing with limited resources (if you don't have an office manager to help you clean between sessions). I stress the importance of making strategic choices when it comes to selecting materials for the playroom aligning them with your own tolerance for mess. Moreover, I underscore the significance of understanding personal boundaries in this context. I make a clear distinction between messy and mess-making play, and I emphasize the need to provide creative alternatives that allow for artistic expression while maintaining the overall cleanliness and order of the therapeutic space. Striking this balance is essential for nurturing creativity while ensuring a sense of order, benefiting both the therapist and the child in therapy.

Storytime is one of the most influential times for children. Childrens' books are loaded with quotes and themes designed to encourage children to become the best people they can be. Over at Discussion Partners, Tom Casey and other senior executives spend most of their time teaching people to become more effective leaders and guiding them on how to invest in the development of their employees with the intention of promoting the overall success of the company. Reading children's books to each other has become Discussion Partners go-to way to figure out what they would have learned about leadership if they had just paid attention all those years ago. Today host Jack Russo finds out the not so hidden messages we missed when those books were read to us, and when we read them to our children.

This is second of four podcast episodes related to WordPress security. For the first time ever (well second time I suppose!) I feel like I need to add some context to the show notes so that you understand the context of what I'm doing here. A little while ago there was some news in the WordPress space about the merits of using plugins for securing your WordPress website. Researchers (see the previous episode for more on this) had discovered ways in which the effectiveness of the plugins might be compromised. There were several posts on social media which amplified the issue, making it harder to gain an understanding of what happened, and when. I decided to reach out to a number of people to get 'their side of the story'. Today you're going to hear from Akshat Choudhary from Blogvault and Malcare putting his case for why WordPress firewalls and scanners are useful.
Today, we're diving into the "fixing play" theme in child-centered play therapy. This theme often follows "broken play" and is closely tied to control and safety themes. In essence, it's about a child or character working to mend something broken through actions like gluing, taping, or providing medical care. So, why is fixing play significant for a child? Firstly, it can symbolize their understanding of the therapeutic process. Kids may not fully grasp it, but they sense healing and fixing occurring, helping them navigate their journey to feeling better. Secondly, fixing play can stem from a deep desire to be okay, emphasizing the innate human drive for happiness and healing. Lastly, it can be a way for children to regain control after play goes too far, allowing them to undo what they felt was unacceptable. Fixing play is a window into a child's world, reflecting their therapeutic progress, longing for well-being, and their need for control.

The 1977 comedy film "Oh, God!" had an interesting production process involving notable individuals from the entertainment industry. Here's a more detailed overview of its production: Source Material and Adaptation: The film is based on the novel "Oh, God!" by Avery Corman, published in 1971. The novel's premise, which presents a humorous and heartwarming interaction between an ordinary person and God, captured the attention of Warner Bros. executives, who saw the potential for a compelling and engaging film adaptation. Casting George Burns: One of the most pivotal decisions in the film's production was the casting of George Burns as God. George Burns was a legendary comedian and actor known for his unique voice, wit, and charm. The role required an actor who could portray God in a relatable and humorous way, and Burns' casting brought a sense of authenticity to the character. John Denver's Role: The choice to cast singer-songwriter John Denver as the protagonist, Jerry Landers, was somewhat unconventional but added to the film's appeal. Denver's down-to-earth demeanor and relatable persona complemented the character of Jerry, an everyday person chosen by God to deliver a message. Director and Screenplay: Carl Reiner, an accomplished director, writer, and comedian, was chosen to direct the film. Reiner was known for his expertise in comedy and his ability to work with talented performers. Larry Gelbart adapted the novel into a screenplay, infusing humor and thought-provoking moments into the dialogue. Cinematic Style: The film aimed for a visually relatable style to emphasize the contrast between the ordinary world and the extraordinary presence of God. The settings, including Jerry's suburban home, workplace, and interactions with God, were designed to resonate with audiences' experiences. Themes and Humor: The film's script balanced comedic moments with deeper themes related to faith, belief, and the nature of God. It explored questions about spirituality and the human experience in a lighthearted and accessible way. Reception and Legacy: "Oh, God!" was released in 1977 and exceeded expectations at the box office. Audiences and critics responded positively to its unique blend of humor and thought-provoking content. The film's success led to two sequels: "Oh, God! Book II" (1980) and "Oh, God! You Devil" (1984). Overall, the production of "Oh, God!" involved adapting a compelling novel, casting iconic figures like George Burns and John Denver, the direction of Carl Reiner, and the exploration of spirituality through humor and relatable characters. The film's enduring popularity has solidified its place as a classic comedy with a meaningful message. If you enjoy the show we have a Patreon, become a supporter. www.patreon.com/thevhsstrikesback Plot Summary: The story revolves around Jerry Landers, played by John Denver, a supermarket manager who one day receives a series of humorous and unconventional messages from God. George Burns portrays God in a human form who appears before Jerry to deliver a simple yet profound message about spreading kindness, understanding, and love in the world. As Jerry grapples with his newfound divine task, he faces skepticism and challenges from his family, friends, and society at large. The film explores themes of faith, belief, and the importance of finding meaning in everyday life. Through a blend of humor and heartwarming moments, "Oh, God!" encourages audiences to contemplate spirituality and the impact of their actions on the world around them. thevhsstrikesback@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/vhsstrikesback --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thevhsstrikesback/support
