Halloween over Florence: THE MARKET OF GHOSTSSeverino lived in the bell tower on the hill — the one next to the ancient Basilica of San Miniato al Monte.Every evening, at sunset, he would lock the gate at the base of the entrance stairway and before climbing back up, he would pause to watch Florence color itself amber.And so he did today as well. The tourists had left. Time stopped and silence became sacred again.Through the rusted bars the city stood there motionless — perhaps since forever; with its red roofs, marble facades and the Arno flowing between its stones like a glittering silver ribbon.Domes and towers trembling with light, almost suspended in the air, as if everything and everyone were holding their breath waiting for twilight — and for the night that would cover it with shadows, stars and dreams.One more glance, then he turned on his transistor radio that he had found a few years ago and the notes of Duke Ellington's 'Don't Get Around Much Anymore' filled the autumn evening.Silence may be sacred for the monks, but for Severino music was more so. Seven, his raven, didn't need to be called and at the first notes launched himself from the cypresses of the cemetery above, circled in front of the imposing facade of the Basilica and suddenly glided down along the stairway, to land gently on his left shoulder."Hey Seven, had a good day?""Yes. Could have been worse — Let's settle for that."At which, Severino smiled, turned up the radio's volume and began climbing resolutely toward le Porte del Cielo, while Jazz music echoed among the ancient stones.Nine years ago, on this same day in the month of October, the Olivetan monks residing in the Abbey found a child on the steps of the Basilica.He was there, wrapped in fog, silent as the night, eyes curious as the wind, without name and without past. They called him Severino — I don't know why — and he grew up among prayers and silences. He played in ancient rooms and discovered his world, surrounded by books, tombs, art and mysteries never revealed. At night a raven and a black cat accompanied him, illuminated by the moon, in the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, wandering among imposing crypts and motionless statues that whispered memories and mysteries.But on Halloween nights the whispers transform into screams and endless laments. Secrets manifest themselves, legends become reality, and dreams disguised as nightmares knock on doors lit by candles. And that full moon night was precisely this night: October 31st — and remember, whether you believe in spirits or not, nothing changes: the ghosts will come.And Severino was up there, right there waiting for them to arrive. Leaning out the highest window of the bell tower, calm, looking at Florence from above. While Thelonious Monk's 'Round Midnight' played on his radio, he watched — tapping time with one foot and waited.At the second of the twelve strokes of the midnight bells, something began to happen. On the Arno formed a dense fog that pulsed with spectral green. It began to rise and slide slow but inexorable over the bridges like fingers of cold hands of impatient ghosts. It slid over the Ponte Vecchio and rolled through the streets of Oltrarno until reaching San Niccolò, where it climbed up the hill swallowing everything it found in its path.When it reached the gate of San Miniato, it slipped through the bars and climbed up the stairs until it covered, like a high luminous tide, the entire square in front of the church. It climbed up the marble facade and wrapped also the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, covering the entire hill in a cloak of mystery. Then slowly, as if by enchantment, the fog began to dissolve rising toward the sky and when the last cloud melted into the night air, the square was no longer empty.Small jack-o'-lanterns with flickering lights floated in the air smiling with teeth of fire. Black candles sprouted from nowhere, illuminating spectral stalls full of everything and nothing. Bats that seemed made of paper but were alive fluttered among the lights with wings of black velvet, while autumn leaves danced without wind, sparkling with gold and copper. Pumpkins of every shape filled the stands, some carved with funny faces, others covered with silver spiderwebs that shone like threads of moon. Witch hats swirled in the air like flying umbrellas rotating slow on themselves. Roasted chestnuts perfumed the air with cinnamon and mystery, while small dancing skeletons tinkled like ice bells.And finally in the Cimitero delle Porte Sante, the Portal opened. Like every Halloween, for centuries, spirits from all over the world congregated in Florence for their annual meeting. A spectral river of ghosts poured into the square, each heading toward their own stall, and each with their impossible merchandise to sell or trade. The spirits had arrived and Severino observed them from above. A carnival of other worlds, made of sounds, colors and unimaginable stories.The deserted square had transformed into the Market of Ghosts. Stalls kept materializing from nowhere, carved and glowing pumpkins told each other stories of Halloweens past, present and future laughing malicious among the perfumes of lost memories, past centuries, tomorrow's candles and fallen stardust. The sky above the Tuscan hills and above Florence was full of ghosts arriving from everywhere to search for the unfindable. But no human eye could see this spectacle. No one except Severino, who descended from the tower enchanted by that spectacle and immersed himself in the crowd pulsating with otherworldly life. Seven circled above him observing with attentive eyes and cawing a bit nervous. Some ghosts looked at him with curiosity and recognized him. Someone greeted him and many others whispered his name in forgotten languages."There he is," murmured a witch from Prague."The child of time," sighed a Norman knight."He's returned, I told you so." laughed a Caribbean pirate.But Severino paid them no attention because there were ghosts selling: dreams of sleeping dragons, laughter of northern gnomes, tears of mermaids in love, the last breath of dinosaurs, shadows of unicorns. And even fears from past Halloweens — two for the price of one, but only for tonight. The ghost of a pirate who died during a boarding gone not so well shouted: "Storm bottles! Lightning in jars!" A witch from Salem whispered: "Love potions that last three lifetimes…" A medieval knight showed swords that cut fear, A Chinese spirit waved kites that fly into the past.The spectral crowd grew and thickened, laughed and bargained, while Severino walked amazed and fascinated among the impossible stalls of the Halloween Market. Seven cawed restless from above and Eleven, the black cat with orange eyes, jumped from one tent to another not losing sight of a single movement of Severino and the hundreds of souls circling around him.A ghost monk from an era that never existed saw him and smiled at him from behind a stall full of ancient radios adorned with mysterious symbols. Severino approached, fascinated."How wonderful! Do they all work?""Oh yes, certainly" replied the monk. "These transmit on the waves of past, present, and future time. But you don't need to buy one."The other ghosts stopped. They ceased selling, buying and bartering. They looked at Severino with respect and listened to what the collector of frequencies told him."The transistor radio you already have is more special than you think. But to discover its true secrets, you'll have to search in the ancient crypts where everything began."And suddenly the first lights of dawn began to illuminate the sky behind San Miniato with pink. In rush and hurry the ghosts said goodbye flying away in the wind. "Until next Halloween!" They told each other crossing in the sky. The stalls vanished. Lanterns and candles went out. The Market of Ghosts dissolved like a dream.Severino found himself alone in the empty square, Seven on his shoulder and Eleven sitting on the low wallLooking at Florence illuminating itself in the day of All Saints. He observed his old radio with new eyes and from the ancient crypts of San Miniato, something seemed to call him. He turned it on, turned up the volume and descended the stairway in time to Chet Baker's version of 'Autumn Leaves'.It was time to throw open the gate of the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte.___________________We will continue this story....

It emphasizes the need for law students to master these concepts to navigate the complexities of legal practice and prepare for exams like the bar.In the world of law, finding the right legal precedent can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. But with the right tools and strategies, you can transform this daunting task into a manageable process. This blog post will guide you through the essentials of legal research, focusing on the hierarchy of authority and the use of secondary sources as your map to the treasure of primary law.Introduction: The Quest for Legal Clarity Imagine embarking on a quest through a labyrinth of legal information. Constitutions, statutes, regulations, and centuries of court decisions weave a complex web of rules. How do you find that one specific thread you need? With the right map and tools, you can navigate this labyrinth effectively.The Map: Secondary Sources Secondary sources are your travel guide in the legal world. They explain, analyze, and organize the law for you. Legal encyclopedias provide a broad overview, while treatises offer deep analysis from top experts. Restatements summarize common law, providing credible insights. Start broad with an encyclopedia, then dive into a treatise for expert analysis.The Treasure: Primary Sources Primary sources are the binding rules from courts or legislatures. They are the treasure you seek. Secondary sources point you to these primary laws, providing citations as exact coordinates on your treasure map. Use them to find the key primary sources, then pivot to reading, analyzing, and citing those sources directly.Mastering Authority: Mandatory vs. Persuasive Understanding the difference between mandatory and persuasive authority is crucial. Mandatory authority is law that a court must follow, like a decision from a higher court in its jurisdiction. Persuasive authority, on the other hand, is everything else. A court might find it convincing but is not required to follow it.The Tools: Modern Legal Research Today, legal research is primarily digital, relying on powerful databases like Westlaw and LexisNexis. These platforms offer vast libraries of primary and secondary sources, along with citator tools like Keysight and Shepard's for validation. Mastering Boolean searches and understanding statutory interpretation are key skills for effective research.Embrace the Detective Role As a legal researcher, your role is to find the controlling piece of primary authority hidden in plain sight. Use your secondary source map wisely, master the hierarchy, validate everything with citators, and dive deep into primary authority. Keep digging, keep questioning, and happy researching.Subscribe now to stay updated on the latest legal research strategies and tools.legal research, primary sources, statutory interpretation, legal authority, law students, bar exam, legal analysis, legal tools

'The absence of healthy conflict is a large part of why people will leave jobs, because it's not where the growth happens.' How do you feel about hard conversations at work? Our approaches to conflict are often less than smart. Whether your tendency is towards avoidance or aggression, unless you're actively rejecting 'enforced harmony' for an environment in which people are able to disagree well, you're not getting the best out of your individuals or your organization. (Plus, given that most people are so bad at it, mastering hard conversations is the ultimate leadership edge.) Alice Driscoll and Louise van Haarst, co-authors of Smart Conflict: How to Have Hard Conversations at Work, are experts at diagnosing the wide range of conflict styles and helping leaders make better decisions about how they adjust their approach for the situation and the person in front of them. But could they walk the talk when it came to the ultimate stress test: writing a book together for the first time? Spoiler alert: yes. But what they discovered in the process will be gold to anyone considering a co-authored project.
In this meaningful and thought-provoking episode of Beautiful Work Beautiful Life, cohosts Laurel Holland and Laurel Boivin invite you into an intimate conversation about what it truly means to choose life before it's too late. Inspired by the timeless reflections of Bronnie Ware's The Top Five Regrets of the Dying, the Laurels explore the lessons that surface when we pause to consider how we're really living. Together, they unpack powerful themes — the courage to be your authentic self, creating balance beyond work, expressing your true feelings, nurturing relationships, and allowing yourself to experience happiness and joy. As the veil thins between worlds this late October, the conversation takes on a soulful tone — one that gently encourages reflection, closure, and new beginnings. With humor, compassion, and grounded wisdom, Laurel and Laurel remind us that inner work is life work… and it's never too late to begin again. Tune in to explore: The five most common regrets of the dying — and how to live without them Why authenticity, balance, and emotional expression are keys to fulfillment Simple journaling prompts to help you reflect and realign How to invite more happiness, creativity, and meaning into your everyday life As you listen, you might just find the inspiration to take one small step toward the life you most want to live. ******** The Top Five Regrets of the Dying: A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing, by Bronnie Ware I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. I wish I hadn't worked so hard. I wish I'd had the courage to express my feelings. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends. I wish that I had let myself be happier. Journaling prompts are suggested to further your exploration. Do I have the friendships I wish I had? Am I devoting time to those friendships? What keeps me from being authentically me? In what areas of my life am I struggling to show up authentically? What are I doing that doesn't feel like my true self, and who am I doing it for? What role am I playing, and who assigned me that role? How can I still work hard but not miss out on my lifetime—the memory making and the relationships? How can I honor the work that I'm doing so that I can provide for my family and contribute to the world in a way that feels good, without sacrificing other important things? What do I wish that I had said to the people in my life that I haven't said yet? Do I feel like I would have any of these regrets if tomorrow I found out I only had another week to live? What am I doing now so that I don't have regrets?

You can watch the full recording on our YouTube Channel. Sermon Text: Habakkuk 2:1-4 (NKJV) I will stand my watch And set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected. 2 Then the LORD answered me and said: "Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it. 3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry. 4 "Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith. Theme: Watching, Writing, and Waiting by Faith 1. Watch for the LORD's Word 2. Write His Vision Plain 3. Wait for His Promises

It emphasizes the importance of structuring legal arguments, effectively spotting issues, and applying legal principles to facts. The discussion also covers the differences between predictive and persuasive writing, time management strategies for exams, and the overall goal of thinking like a lawyer. The conversation concludes with a reminder that mastering these skills is crucial for success in law school and beyond.In the world of law, the ability to think like a lawyer is not just a skill—it's a necessity. This structured way of thinking is the foundation for everything from acing law school exams to crafting persuasive arguments in court. But what does it truly mean to think like a lawyer? Let's delve into the core of legal analysis and uncover the secrets behind this essential skill.Understanding the IRAC Framework: At the heart of legal reasoning lies the IRAC framework—Issue, Rule, Analysis, Conclusion. This method is the gold standard for organizing legal arguments. It begins with identifying the specific legal issue at hand, followed by stating the governing rule or law. The analysis is where the real magic happens, as you apply the rule to the facts of the case. Finally, you conclude with a reasoned judgment.legal analysis, law school, IRAC, issue spotting, legal writing, exam strategies, persuasive writing, time management, legal reasoning, advocacy

Original Release Date: Monday 27 October 2025 Description: In what might be a first, Dean will offer up both a point and a counterpoint (all on his own) about the merits and deficits of Charles Laughton's The Night of the Hunter. Then, Phil will discuss the long career of the great cinematic surrealist Luis Buñuel and take a deep dive into one particular masterpiece of his, the 1950 Los Olividados ("The Young and the Damned"). Buñuel's famous collaborations with Catherine Deneuve will lead Phil and Dean to discuss this legendary star's almost unparalleled status as the "face" of 1960s cinema. Jacque Demy's singular The Umbrellas of Cherbourg gets celebrated as a result. If Ms. Deneuve was NOT the face of global cinema at that time, then that title belonged to the late, great Claudia Cardinale, who gets remembered in "Celebrity Deaths".

Send us a textIn this episode, we're joined by screenwriter Jack Epps, Jr. and his student, up and coming screenwriter Kate Ginley, who is writing a screenplay about Pan Am and Tenerife.Jack is now a professor and Chair of the Writing for Screen and Television Division at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts, also known as USC. But you probably already know of him from the most iconic aviation films ever made — the 1986 blockbuster Top Gun, which he co-wrote with his longtime screenwriting partner, Jim Cash. Starring Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer, Top Gun didn't just redefine aviation movies — it became a cultural phenomenon. It inspired generations of aviators, reignited pride in flight, and set the gold standard for how aviation could be portrayed on screen.The film was also a popular hit during its run as a featured movie of Pan Am's Theatre in the Air. Beyond the breathtaking aerial footage, Top Gun is a brilliant study in the craft of screenwriting — how character, emotion, and story structure come together to create cinematic magic.After Top Gun, Jack Epps, Jr. and Jim Cash went on to write a series of major Hollywood hits, including Legal Eagles, The Secret of My Success, Dick Tracy, and Turner & Hooch. Today, Jack brings that same storytelling mastery to his students at USC — shaping the next generation of screenwriters and filmmakers.In our conversation, we'll talk about Jack's remarkable career, his insights into the art and discipline of screenwriting, the enduring legacy of Top Gun, and how Kate is carrying that storytelling spirit forward in her new screenplay about Pan Am and the tragedy at Tenerife.Support the show Visit Us for more Pan Am History!

In the United States, the 2000s were a decade full of change in response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the contested presidential election of 2000, and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. These social and political changes, as well as the influences of Japanese horror and New French extremism, had a profound effect on American horror filmmaking during the 2000s. This filmography covers more than 300 horror films released in America from 2000 through 2009, including such popular forms as found footage, torture porn, and remakes.

"I gotta listen to a little bit of Zen... I need to balance it. I'm like, cry a little bit. I don't know."Live from the middle of the desert, we're hanging out with Taylor Acorn right after her massive set at When We Were Young Festival 2025! Taylor was shocked to see how many people chose her set over scene legends Mayday Parade, who were playing at the same time. We even broke the news to her that she has her own billboard out on the Las Vegas strip.Instead of a high-energy pump-up playlist, Taylor walks us through her pre-show ritual, which involves getting Zen and finding balance by listening to Counting Crows—a stark contrast to the energy drink she's usually drinking at the same time. She opens up about what makes her music so emo, citing her longtime struggles with mental health and her passion for writing about her experiences to help others feel less alone. It's this authenticity that resonates with so many fans. We also get the details on her brand new record, which is available now!Key Topics & Timestamps:[00:07] Playing When We Were Young & Competing with Mayday Parade[00:39] The Surprise Billboard on the Vegas Strip[01:04] Pre-Show Rituals: Getting Zen with Counting Crows[03:45] Her Upcoming New Record & Where to Find It Guest/Band Links:Spotify: [https://open.spotify.com/artist/1A0WloDoRE88uUwo3wensY]Instagram: [https://www.instagram.com/tayloracornmusic/]Official Website: [https://www.tayloracorn.com/] Episode Highlights:"Mayday Parade was playing at the same time.

"What makes Her Leather Jacket so emo?"We caught up with Her Leather Jacket at When We Were Young Festival 2025 to talk about their incredible journey, from honing their sound to collaborating with legends of the scene. The band discusses how mentorship from Aaron Gillespie of Underoath completely opened the door for them to be more vulnerable in their lyrics and songwriting. This collaboration was crucial in developing their sound and led to their latest single, "Death Train".The band shares the story behind the track, which features an iconic appearance from Kellin Quinn of Sleeping With Sirens. It was actually Aaron Gillespie's idea to bring Kellin onto the song, and they were ecstatic when he loved it and agreed to be a part of it. Hearing the final mix with Kellin's unmistakable voice was an "unbelievable" moment for the band. They also touch on the bands they were most excited to see at the fest, including The Maine and Don Broco, and answer the ultimate question: what's the most emo song they're listening to right now?Key Topics & Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction at When We Were Young Fest 2025[00:21] Bands they're excited to see at the festival[00:42] The most emo songs they're listening to right now[01:25] What makes Her Leather Jacket's music so emo?[01:43] The influence of mentor Aaron Gillespie on their songwriting[02:15] The story behind their single "Death Train" ft.

Our conversation traverses her personal and professional journey, offering profound insights into the nuances of trauma, innovative therapy techniques, and the fascinating convergence of the body and the psyche. What You'll Learn: Integration of Linguistics in Psychology: Discover how Dr. Jalai transitioned from linguistics to psychology and how her background enriches her clinical practice. Understanding Soul Searching: Hear Dr. Jalai's personal story of transformation through therapy and her eventual foray into psychology. Current Trends in Psychological Health: Insights into the growing trend of emotional dysregulation and the quest for safety among clients. Psyche-Body Connection: Explore the role of the nervous system in mental health and Dr. Jalai's holistic approach to therapy. Jungian Psychology & Dreams: Learn about Jung's philosophies, the interplay of dreams and the unconscious, and how they shape therapeutic strategies. Psychoanalytic vs. Cognitive Therapies: A clear distinction between the objective, structured cognitive approaches and the depth-oriented psychoanalytic therapies. Spotlight on Complexes: Uncover the understated influence of complexes from childhood on our adult life, and the therapeutic exploration of these hidden forces. Somatic Approaches to Trauma: Dive into the methodologies like EMDR and Brainspotting used to integrate physiological responses in treating psychological traumas. Key Takeaways: Trauma is not only processed through the mind but is deeply stored within the body, necessitating a holistic treatment approach. Therapies focused on unity and compassion are vital in bridging human chaos and disconnect, offering pathways to greater personal and societal harmony. Exploring personal traumas and histories provides an opportunity not only for healing but also for uncovering the wisdom and strengths gained through adversity. Professionals must navigate transference carefully to maintain personal well-being and effective therapeutic outcomes. Acknowledging and addressing the interconnectedness of body and mind can significantly enhance the efficacy of psychological interventions.

Additionally, her upcoming course "Regulate to Rise" offers practical strategies for nervous system regulation, providing tangible tools for those seeking to improve their mental health.

Welcome to The Rose and Rockstar - with the Chief Troublemaker at Seventh Bear, Robert Rose, behind the bar serving one of his splendid cocktails while our host Ian Truscott, a CMO but not a rockstar, picks his brain on a marketing topic. As Robert is a prolific writer, Ian returns to pulling at the thread of Robert's writing process that they discussed last month. This week, they explore the process that Robert has developed for using ChatGPT as a writing and research assistant. The discussion includes: Robert's 8-point process for developing content with AI Training ChatGPT to interview Robert about a topic Creating a 'show Bible' for a topic for a collection of content assets Pressure testing an idea with AI and the unexpected insights this can give How this process actually takes more work and time, but improves the quality Robert also shared an excellent point about having ChatGPT create the content, versus following this sort of process that takes you on a creative journey. “Constructed content is only loved after it exists, while created content is loved before it exists”.

Putin's Yalta Model: Out-Negotiating Donald Trump. Cliff May, writing for the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, looks at Putin's ambition to out-negotiate Donald Trump by emulating Stalin's success at the 1945 Yalta Conference. Stalin won that round of negotiations against Churchill and Roosevelt, securing Poland and much of Eastern Europe. This outcome was partly facilitated because Roosevelt, who was ill and viewed himself as a mediator, thought he could handle Stalin. The discussion reviews history to see if this model foreshadows future negotiations over Ukraine.

Sleepytime Trio formed in 1995 in Harrisonburg, Virginia, originally as a side project of Maximillian Colby. Known for their volatile, emotional sound and chaotic live shows, they quickly became a defining force in the late 90s post-hardcore scene, sharing stages with bands like Hot Water Music, Frodus, and Shotmaker. After a hiatus in 1998, members went on to form acts like Engine Down, Rah Bras, and Milemarker before reuniting to tour again. Their definitive discography, remixed by J. Robbins and remastered by TJ Lipple, showcases all their studio recordings and captures the raw energy that made them legendary. In 2024, Solid Brass Records partnered with Sleepytime Trio and their longtime label, Lovitt Records, to work on a vinyl discography to memorialize this important band. The definitive Sleepytime Trio discography to date is packaged in a single pocket gatefold LP sleeve with complete lyrics. It also includes an 8-page zine/booklet featuring an extensive show list, behind-the-scenes notes, photos, and memories from friends of the band.

On this edition of Parallax Views, we continue our Halloween “spooky season” series with an episode exploring how true crime stories—particularly those involving serial killers—are brought to life on screen. Screenwriter Stephen Johnston joins the show to discuss the process of writing films about notorious figures like Ed Gein, Ted Bundy, and The Hillside Stranglers (Angelo Buono and Kenneth Bianchi). Johnston's screenwriting credits include Chuck Parello's Ed Gein (2000; aka In the Light of the Moon), starring Steve Railsback (known for his portrayal of Charles Manson in the 1976 TV film Helter Skelter) and Carrie Snodgress (Diary of a Mad Housewife); Matthew Bright's darkly comic and controversial Ted Bundy (2002); and Parello's The Hillside Strangler (2004), featuring C. Thomas Howell (Red Dawn) and Nicolas Turturro (NYPD Blue). Most recently, Johnston wrote the screenplay for Chad Ferrin's Ed Kemper, a biopic about “The Co-Ed Killer” that received its video-on-demand (VOD) release earlier this year.
