Very Hungry Caterpillar

The story of the Very Hungry Caterpillar provides learning opportunities about everyday and sometimes food, numerals and counting and symmetry.  Here the children are in the process of making a butterfly by putting blobs of paint on a piece of paper, folding the paper and then giving it a good squish before opening it up again and looking at all the new colours that have been made.

Posts Tagged ‘bad’

A Very happy dussehra everyone.

Have a great day so what are your plans for today.. don’t ask me I am working.

…. Diwali is cominggggggggggggg 🙂

My day usually begins at 6AM when the alarm goes off, bzzz bzzz ting tong… bzz bzz ting tong It is annoying and I keep the alarm away on the table so I have to get up to switch it off , else I would go back to sleep. I reach the gym about 6:30 and pass my time, showing off, trying to do some exercises. On the way back I visit Gurudwara Sahib (sikh temple), sit and listen to the baani. These days they have someone explaining the meaning of each line written in the holy Granth sahib (sikh holy book).

I usually sit for 5 -10 minutes listening, trying to get into the good books of God :) , I am not very religious, but today something got my attention, the guy was trying to say that the best way to get into the good books is to do SEVA of god. By that he meant helping in the Langar (dining hall where free food is served to all and Everyone), cleaning, feeding the sangat (people) and various other jobs that we can do in the Gurudwara sahib.

He gave an example that Guru Amar Das Ji before he became Guru was sevadar of Guru Angad Dev ji, He use to get up early morning every day even at the age of 72 walk the distance to Beas (one of the rivers in Punjab), Get water, bring back warm it, for Guru ji’s bath and this according to the person reciting was one of the SEVA Guru Amar das ji did.

But is it really all this that will make God happy, do we seriously think it to be true, I seriously don’t think this alone can do it, what about WHATS in your heart or Mind. Sometimes I try to sit and listen to the path, close my eyes to listen with full concentration, but it only lasts a few seconds before lots of useless thoughts start to come in mind, that’s human nature I think.

So by doing seva at gurudwara sahib, will all my bad deeds be rectified, I don’t think so, if it was, then all you need to do is do a bad deed and then go and do seva. There’s got to be more than that. Will god not be happy if we are a good person, go about doing our work without hurting anyone, helping others if we can ?

It should not be that we have to go to a religious place to do something to get God.

My thoughts are continuously questioned, a person is poor can’t earn money, I give him some money from the goodness of my heart, I have done a good deed helping him, He goes, spends that money on drugs, goes home beats his wife, kids or worse… Who is responsible Him or Me… If he did not have money this would not have happened… I gave… it happened so was it a good deed…

So in the end WHAT IS A GOOD DEED, WHAT IS SEVA… that we could do for our salvation…? I see people each day in morning saying “waheguru waheguru” loudly , then touching every shoe , cleaning them, doing various other things, Then the moment they come out of Gurudwara Sahib one can hear them “F-ing”, smoking, drinking, few of them are WIFE BEATERS, treat their Wife’s so bad, I am not making this up, I know for a FACT.

Come election times in the Gurudwara Sahib the same people come brandishing swords, shouting slogans, the person reciting and speaking himself was one of them, This also I know for a fact, Cause I was there when it happened, Police had to enter the premises with shoes on.

So coming back to the point what should a person do for salvation, to please the almighty, what is SEVA in modern days TODAY. Do the same rituals still hold?

Will me helping in Langar, or cleaning shoes or cleaning the carpets etc constitute as SEVA…

Just a thought……

PS:- This is a repost .

PPS :-  The earlier Photo post Love _ _ _ and Dhokha – Love story – err.. maybe. Was adjudged the spicy saturday pick at blogadda .. Thank you so much  Arvind Passey and BlogAdda.

Hi Everyone.. Its been two years writing stuff on this space..

In these last two years I have had a lot of experience, Been called good-bad and Ugly,

The most recent being I have been manipulative and I write to Sulk and beckon public sympathy and how I rant once every month on this blog about my relations..  Its been a complete roller coaster …

I have also been called a Traitor and a few have written on their blogs about me , sadly they did not have the guts to take my name in spite of asking them a few times to come out in the open, I  try my best that if I have a qualm with someone I tell them quiet openly..

But this is a Happy Post and a happy day , where I want to take the opportunity to Thank that lovely person who introduced me to blogging.

There are so many beautiful people out there who have been coming over to this blog every time I write something. I have so many people to thank and wish all the best in their Life. God bless you all..

Over years I have made some very good friends Even if we have not met , or chatted maybe talked once or twice over the years, But It does seem that I know them very well reading there articles. I have some favourites too, and for some I am favourite.. Let me please Take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to everyone who clicks on the link knowingly or unknowingly .. Thank you for all the comments, a lot of you know and I have been blamed with that too, That I am comment hungry.. OH YES no denying that I love the comments coming , But If I have forced you to come then please I am sorry.

Some of you have stood by me in my personal problem times and Good times .. Some of you hate me , some love me .. What I have found is its true things change.. Change in Inevitable , Some have just brushed past, Some who stood by me THEN have turned their back now… hence my writing that it has been a roller coaster ride.

Thank you for all the emails you have sent, The phone calls and Sms Messages.

So this post is dedicated to All the people who read what I write.  The ones who are younger than me let me say I love you all , All who are elder to me I respect you all.

tumhi tum ho to kya tum ho

I would like to Extend my hand of friendship to all those who are there..  God bless you all, have a good day and Thanks for reading this.

Question: Isolate differentiation

I have an expression and want to find its derivative respect to T[1] but not T[2], for example:

u[1](T[1], T[2], T[3]):=exp(T[1]*I)

If I find the

diff(u[1](T[1], T[2], T[3]), T[1], T[2])

I would like to get something like this:

D__1*diff(u[1](T[1], T[2], T[3]), T[1])

instead of the derivative respect to T[2], which makes the result to be zero.

I need an expression that I can do other things with it.

You might say why do you just remove the diff of T[2], well I want to automate my code and this is part of the expression so I cannot write something else.

Please Wait...

December Author Spotlight

jama-headshot-2I’m thrilled to introduce you to Jama Kim Rattigan on this month’s author spotlight. Jama caught my attention not only with her lovely picture books, but with her delightful, colorful blog. There is a wonderful variety of interesting information on her blog including art, books, and novelties, along with members of her adorable teddy bear collection. Scroll down to meet two of her fuzzy friends. But first, a few questions!

Please share a little about your published books.

jama 1Though I’ve published three picture books, I am probably best known for my first one, Dumpling Soup, an autobiographical story about an Asian American girl who learns how to make Korean dumplings for her extended family’s New Year’s celebration in Hawai’i. Illustrated by Lillian Hsu-Flanders, it won Little, Brown’s New Voices, New World Multicultural Fiction Contest and is still in print after 22 years.

jama 2My second book, Truman’s Aunt Farm (Houghton Mifflin) was illustrated by G. Brian Karas and is a humorous story about a boy who receives an ant farm for his birthday. When he sends away for ants, he gets aunts instead. This punny tale was inspired by the many aunts I grew up with and is a nod to one of my favorite writers, Truman Capote, who was raised by relatives in the South.

jama 4The Woman in the Moon (Little, Brown), illustrated by Carla Golembe, is a retelling of an ancient Hawaiian legend. Hina, the best tapa maker in the land, escapes the toil of earthly life by escaping to the moon. A strong female role model, she was able to transcend a life of oppression through artistic expression. Carla is the only one of my illustrators I’ve had the pleasure of meeting in person. 🙂

How has where you’ve lived or traveled influenced your work?

Well, I’m from Hawai’i, land of natural beauty, cultural diversity, friendly people, and GOOD FOOD. In Hawai’i, food is a favorite topic of discussion, an expression of love, an endless obsession, a social institution. As my primary frame of reference, it’s no surprise that I continue to be fascinated by what people eat and what that tells me about their personal histories, culture, and social mores. Though Truman’s Aunt Farm isn’t set in Hawai’i like the other two books, I still managed to work food into the storyline (rice pudding, little hot dogs, jelly sandwiches).dscrop2I also lived in England for three years, an experience which reinforced my love for the English language and all things British. I’ve often felt I was born in the wrong century. Studying food history is a wonderful way to connect with the past and explore my former lives. 🙂

Living in Virginia for more than 30 years has piqued my interest in Colonial American cooking. I especially enjoy reading and writing about what our Presidents ate. Jefferson was quite a foodie!

Could you briefly tell us how you came to keep a blog and a little about your process?

 I started blogging to join the online conversation about children’s books, to support my fellow writers, and to learn more about the publishing industry. It was also an exciting opportunity for creative expression.

I’ve always considered blogging a unique art form with unlimited possibilities for a writer. The prospect of being able to write in my own voice, connect with like-minded people, and get instant feedback was irresistible. Writers hear a lot of “no’s” from industry professionals in their careers, and this was my chance to say YES.IMG_3426Alphabet Soup has evolved organically over 8 years, to include more recipes and more of my own photos. I work largely by instinct, both in choosing which books, authors, illustrators, poets, or indie artists to feature, and how best to do them justice. I’m not a professional book reviewer and don’t pretend to be one – I’m here to celebrate tasty stories and poems, share some good recipes, and cultivate joy.

My posts can take anywhere from one day to a couple of weeks – and that includes obtaining review copies, images and permissions from publicists and authors, doing background research, writing interview questions, shopping for ingredients and making recipes, gathering props and setting up photo shoots, taking and editing photos, writing copy, revising, formatting, and proofreading.

Writing remains the hardest part, taking the most time. It’s ironic that a slow writer is trying to work in a fast medium. But that’s the great challenge, where all the learning comes in. I rarely begin writing a post until I have all the images in hand. They help me crystallize my thoughts.IMG_3677What advice would you give to new authors hoping to start up a successful blog?

Be yourself, follow your passions, write about things you truly care about, and don’t worry about trying to please everyone. If you’re bored, your readers will be bored. Write what you want to read. Subject is not as important as voice. The bloggers I read and admire most are those whose voices I can recognize online even when they’re not writing on their own blogs. A good writer can make any subject interesting.

I think we’re all curious about the people behind the books we enjoy, so be generous and share details about yourself, but be mindful of that tricky balance between the personal and the professional.

Favorite books: anything by Maira Kalman, The Secret Garden, A Bear Called Paddington
Favorite food: Pie and Dark Chocolate (special weakness for Sea Salt Caramels)
Favorite movies: My Fair Lady, Notting Hill, Love Actually, A Hard Day’s Night (do you see a pattern here? Anything set in England 🙂 !)
Favorite hobbies: Baking, collecting teddy bears and china, watching British period dramas on television
Favorite color: All the different colors people come in.

Thanks for sharing your creativity, Jama! Check out her amazing Alphabet Soup blog here.

  1. Great blogging advice!

  7. How lovely to celebrate our Jama- who brings us such delight with her fun-filled, tasty and beautiful posts! So nice to learn more about her!

  9. This is the very Jama I know from Poetry Friday! I am delighted to know more about her as i love her postings so much. They are a visual treat and so playful! They always get my mouth watering for whatever deliciousness she is sharing. Jama is so generous with her comments and a essential part of the blogging writers’ community. Thank you, Marcia. Your interview questions always give us insights into people worth knowing!

  10. Another fun post Marcia!! combining children’s books with cooking (dumplings) is my perfect match. Our grand-girls are half Chinese and love dumplings– so I think they would also love that book! How do your find all these authors to chat with you?? So fun to hear what’s behind the books… Hope you’re enjoying getting ready for Christmas!! xo

    • Thanks, Rhonda. Most of those I’ve interviewed I know personally from either writing groups or workshops. My connection with Jama is through the internet and like many others, I wanted to know more about her. Enjoy the season!

  11. Jama has such talent. It was great reading about her books. Her blog is simply amazing. It’s a visual and informational treat! I love that she said, “If you’re bored, your readers will be bored. Write what you want to read.” Such great advice! Thanks for celebrating Jama 😀

  12. Jama’s blog is a treat for the eye and the stomach and she has a wonderfully punny sense of humour . Thanks for your fun interview with her, Marcia. I loved learning more about her books.

  13. Bette Norton

    I enjoyed getting to know Jama Kim Rattigan through your delightful post!. I liked her comments on writing blogs, as a chance of writing with her own words. Jama’s picture books look like so much fun with great illustrations! I have a passion for history and never thought of food, as a tool to learn more about the history, cultures and traditions of the past. I love to bake and cook myself and would love to explore food history more. I too am a collector of teddy bears and have many of them. Jama’s photographs of two of her bears with tasty treats are precious! I peeked at her post and I have now registered on her Blog! Marcia, your Author Spotlight Posts are so informative and open up so many new opportunities to meet authors and learn about other special interests, that I never would of had the opportunity to learn about other wise.Thank you again for your wonderful Blog! I always look forward to reading it! The happiest of holidays to you and yours! 🙂

    • Wow, that’s great, Bette. Thanks for all your support and Happy Holidays!

  14. Thanks for the lovely post and introducing me to Jama Kim Rattigan. I will look for her picture books.

  15. Nice post. Very interesting and clear. I enjoy supporting you.

Hi. My name is Martin Zaltz Austwick. I’m a musician, podcaster, performer, and an Honorary Senior Lecturer of CASA at University College London. I have a DPhil in carbon nanotubes, fullerenes and quantum computing from Oxford University, and I’m a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts; I work on podcasts which have won British Radio Academy and British Podcast Awards. I took the above photo which is why it looks like the start of an REM video. I make music as Pale Bird, Martin Austwick, Dr Martin Austwick, and The Sound of the Ladies.

I’m also a podcaster – I’m one third of Answer Me This!, one of the UK’s most successful independent podcasts (which won a Sony Silver in 2010 and a Sony Gold in 2011). I also co-created Song by Song (which won the British Podcast Award for Review shows in 2017), Brain Train, Global Lab, and The Year of The Bird podcasts, and I’ve written for 20,000Hz.

I’ve written and performed music for the above podcasts, and for Zig ZagThe Allusionist, The Beef and Dairy Network, Mortified, the Glamour UK podcast, and many others. I’ve written music and performed live with The Allusionist, Radio Diaries, Roman Mars (99% Invisible), The Bugle, Radiotopia Live, and at the 3rd Coast International Audio Festival awards ceremony.

I’ve spoken at Audiocraft, Hearsay, Vancouver Podcast Festival, Boring Conference, Geek Showoff, SciBar, Pint of Science, TEDx LSE, in additional to a range of academic conferences from the AAG to SPIE – about everything from Music for Podcasting, to Eggs, to Cycling, to GPS Data, to Medical Laser Physics. I founded the Podcast Maker Weekend (as part of the London Podcast Festival) in 2017 and currently act as its lead curator/director with a team of volunteers.

I tweet @martinaustwick.

In my academic life, I was a full-time Senior Lecturer at CASA, at the Bartlett, in University College London (UCL) until September 2017. I have a first class physics undergraduate degree, a doctorate in quantum computing, carbon nanotubes, and fullerenes, and a postgraduate certificate in teaching for higher and professional education.  My research covered digital humanities, cycling, freight transport, the sharing economy, REF Impact, and communities of practice. I teach, and have trained on, data visualisation, coding, podcasting, and physics, and was Course Director on a Spatial Data Science and Visualisation masters programmes from 2013-2017, and wrote, ran, and taught on masters and undergraduate modules.

I’ve been active in public engagement, and have given public talks, chaired Cafe Scientifique events, made videos and visualisations, and run podcasts aimed at sharing ideas from science and academia. I won a UCL award for Institutional Leadership in Public Engagement in 2016 for my work enabling and supporting staff and students in my department, shared in a public engagement award in 2015, and won an ESPRC-funded Public Engagement Fellowship the same year.

Recent work:

I’m a podcast maker from end to end – I create shows, research, interview, host, record, edit, mix, master, and score (see Podcasting Music below). I have particular experience in hosting, producing/mastering, and creating music for podcasts, but I’ve taken on numerous other aspects of the process.

For example, I make music for The Allusionist, but have also provided editorial input for a number of episodes, and in 2018 re-edited over 100 episodes to be suitable for ad injection, and remastered them at a loudness standard (-16LUFS, -2dBTP) specified by the hosts, PRX. I worked with their technical team to create an automated solution for gapless mp3s to reduce the intrusiveness of injected ads – a solution which the show currently uses. I’ve also researched stories and guests for the show, and cleaned transcripts.

I produce and co-host Song by Song (2015-, co-founded with Sam Pay), Winner of a 2017 British Podcast Award, which discusses every Tom Waits song in chronological order. Our guests have included Jon Ronson, Phoebe Judge, Jon Hodgman, Jeffrey Cranor, Simon Stephens and David Shrubsole.

I’m music director, live engineer, and comedy sidekick/science nerd on question-answering podcast Answer me This!:

Just so you know, it has rude words and racy content. We’ve been running since 2007 and have won two UK Sony/Radio Academy Awards and has tens of thousands of regular listeners, making us one of the most successful independent podcasts in the UK.

I created, and do everything for, Year of the Bird (2019, formerly The Sound of The Ladies 2007-2017) podcast, which featured a song I’ve recorded (and usually, written) every episode. For this I composed, hosted and produced.

I co-created, produced and alternatively hosted Brain Train (2012-2016, co-founded with Alice Bell).  In it, an expert asks someone something they’ve always wanted to know about a subject well outside their comfort zone. Next episode, the expert becomes the novice and finds out all about something they know nothing about.

I co-created and exec produced Global Lab (2011-2017, co-founded with Steven Gray), a show themed around complexity, technology, and cities. I planned, scripted, hosted, and co-ordinated most episodes of the show, as well as carrying out interviews with academics and scientists.

I was engineer and composer on the Bright Club Podcast (2010-2011). This span out from the Bright Club live events, and featured a comedian interviewing academics about their areas of expertise – science communication, but also humanities and the arts.

I’ve also guested on The 90 Minutes or Less Film Festival (with Colin Trevorrow), The Wire Stripped, Scientists Not the Science, Twenty Thousand HertzFlixwatcher, Getting Better Acquainted, Bright ClubThe Bugle [briefly], and Jordan, Jesse Go! [VERY briefly].

Podcast Music

I have been composing and recording music and song for podcasts since 2007, here is a sample:

You can listen to some samples of my podcast music organised into Themes, Bed Tracks, Full Songs and Live Scores – or it’s all together in the above soundcloud playlist.

Most recently:

  • Created an original soundtrack for The Holiday Season, a podcast about the Nancy Meyers film The Holiday, inspired by Hans Zimmer’s score (December 2019).
  • Wrote the song “Apple Tree” for the end of The Family Tree – a magic realist drama.
  • I write the music for the Zoom podcast (since 2019) –  a movie podcast which focuses on a different genre each episode, so the theme song has iterated through spaghetti western, 50s scifi, zombie movie, and classical.
  • In June 2017 I composed and recorded the score for The Allusionist’s Eclipse, inspired by Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart:
  • and in May 2016 created the score for Continental using items in a Moab Bed and Breakfast:

You can hear instrumental versions of my music on recent episodes of The Allusionist – as well as the theme tune I created.

Live Podcast Music and Performance

  • The Allusionist Live (US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand, 2017-2019) ; composer, musician, performer, tour manager and writer on show.
  • Radio Diaries – Dropped Wrench with Joe Richman (Hearsay Audio Festival, 2019; NYC and Washington DC, 2019); composer and musician.
  • The Bugle (US, 2018); arranger and musician.
  • Radiotopia Live (US, 2018); musician in house band.
  • Third Coast International Audio Awards (Chicago, USA, 2017); composer, MD and musician.

Previous research interests

Here are some useful links for finding out more about my research:

Hannah Fry and I voiced (and I scored) this video about CASA’s work in 2016:

Here I am in 2015 talking about data visualisation (with thanks to Kevin Biderman, full details in the vimeo page):

And here I am talking about cities and data for a UCL lunch hour lecture in December 2012:

Here is a talk I did on eggs at the Boring Conference in May 2014. I’m not an egg physicist, I just like egg cookery:

Prior to working in this field, I have been a medical laser physicist and worked in the field of Quantum Computing. I think interdisciplinary work is inevitable whenever we start to to think about interesting problems that we might want to work on:

(that’s me at TEDx LSE in March 2013).

If you’d like to hear about some of my medical physics work, here’s a brief summary from 2009:

Data Visualisation

I’ve taught and trained on Data Visualisation since 2011, including

  • Principles of data visualisation and design
  • Processing
  • Python (pandas)
  • Carto

delivering to UCL Masters and Undergraduate students and ARUP and UK Central Government (Civil Service).

Examples of my work

RadioNet is a collaboration with Nina Garthwaite of In The Dark, a curated listening event. RadioNet visualises a network of recommendation and creation, centred around audio producers – it’s a work in progress (at time of writing in November 2018), and we are hoping it can be used in education, navigation and discovery.

“They Left Public Radio to Try Their Fortunes on The Blockchain”, New York Times, 2019-09-16

Ms. Zomorodi got serious about explaining blockchain in the second episode of “ZigZag,” and she did it with the help of a “Schoolhouse Rock”-style jingle sung by the musician and podcaster Martin Zaltz Austwick.

…Between the host’s quick descriptions of the technology’s three basic principles, Mr. Austwick strummed a guitar and sang:

“Bitcoin is blockchain’s baby
Transactions, trading, taking care of business on the blockchain
All my friends are computers and we’re working together on the blockchain”

While the ditty made the digital ledger sound almost cute, Civil, with its reliance on cryptocurrency, is not without risks. And because their podcast documents the entry of Ms. Zomorodi and Ms. Poyant into the blockchain world, they often end up reporting on the company that is their main partner….

“Polymath podcaster Martin Zaltz Austwick thrives on DIY ethic at Vancouver Podcast Festival”, Mike Usinger, The Georgia Straight, 2019-11-06
…Austwick makes music under a number of banners—Pale Bird, Martin Austwick, Dr Martin Austwick, and The Sound of the Ladies—his output suggesting that he’s as fascinated with lo-fi folk and low-key postrock as he is with ambient noise and glitched-out electronica. But it’s arguably his podcasting—bringing him to the West Coast for the second Vancouver Podcast Festival—that he’s best known for…

Over the past decade or so, Austwick has had a hand in creating and/or hosting podcasts focused on everything from technology (Global Lab) to education (Brain Train) to horizon-expanding comedy (Answer Me This!). His Vancouver Podcast Fest appearance will see him teamed up with Helen Zaltzman for an episode of the series The Allusionist, which explores language and the way that humans use it….

“Embrace it: There are too many podcasts out there, and that’s good for everyone”, CNET review of Podcast Maker Weekend 2019, Sarah McDermott, 2019-09-20

But everyone has to start somewhere. Coinciding with the second weekend of the event, the Podcast Makers’ Festival is a series of panels and workshops for would-be podcasters. They include guides to writing audio fiction, creating soundscapes for imaginary worlds, monetizing a new podcast and getting your voice heard.

…It’s hard to spend a few days surrounded by podcasters and fans without feeling the weight of all that work. But it’s also inspirational. It reminds me of the many things I’ve started to write and abandoned. If all these people can find the energy and courage to create something and send it out into the world, maybe I can too.

Review of The Allusionist 2019 Live Touring Show, “No Title”, Bello Collective 100 Outstanding Podcasts of 2019, 2019-12-03

What I really wanted to write about is something you can’t listen to on your podcast player. But I need to give some immense buckets of love to the best podcast live show I saw in 2019, The Allusionist’s “No Title.” In a world where a live show usually means “doing the podcast exactly how we do it in the studio, but with an audience,” The Allusionist made a true piece of stage-craft in the tradition of what you usually here in your podcatcher. It’s smart, funny, and extremely Helen-Zaltzmanian, with an extra shoutout to Martin Austwick for the accompaniment and dry commentary that makes the show really feel live. Follow The Allusionist on Twitter to catch the end of this amazing tour, but if there isn’t a live show near you, you can still subscribe to the podcast. Start with “Apples,” which how new varieties of apples get their names.

Woyzeck: The Puppets lived

Last night we saw Woyzeck on the Higveld at the Baxter Theatre. What magic! A combination of the breathtaking puppetry of the Handspring Puppet Company and William Kentridge‘s animated charcoal drawings. The puppets were near life size, each manipulated by two puppeteers, and the animation were projected on the screen behind them.

There are so many layers to this show. The puppets themselves are more intensly alive than actors could be. I would love to have a closer look at them, the brooding Woyzec, the stately Maria and her baby, the creepy doctor – each with their pair of puppeteers moving and living with them.

Week Nineteen: Mama’s Wisdom Confirmed

imagesI can remember my mother often saying to me, “You can sell the Brooklyn Bridge and not even own it!”  As a young child not even knowing where Brooklyn was I didn’t totally understand her comment but she said it with such conviction and so often that I believed her.  (As my friend Les Brown would often say, sometimes you have to borrow someone else’s belief until yours kicks in.)  Mama would further say, “…so stand tall, head up, shoulders back, put a smile on your face and go sell that bridge!!”  I would obediently take that physical posture along with her faith and found myself doing some really incredible things.  The success I met fed my belief and a wonderful cycle of significant achievements in my life began.  Today whenever my confidence may be challenged I remember her directive of taking a power stance (my words, not hers) and reconnect with her belief in me and mine in God, and  I quickly shift anxiety to excitement.

This week in our mastermind group our fearless leader, Mark Januszewski (Mark J) shared his experience with using his body posture to bolster his confidence whenever desired.  He would intentionally raise his testosterone level and reduce his cortisol level via body positioning right before major presentations or other important people engagements.  Yes, our body positioning can and does impact not only how others see us but how we see ourselves. It really is a simple and wonderful fact–one that can totally shift outcomes for you.  So here is your mission, should you decide to accept it, check out the high and low power poses below and then practice high-power poses for two or more minutes a day especially before any important meetings or events to experience this amazing power.

High-Power Pose 2High-Power Pose 3

Low-Power Pose 1Low-Power Pose 2

Mark shared with us a video of Amy Cuddy doing a TED talk (Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are) back in June 2012 discussing various experiments she and her team facilitated to support this concept.  (Click on the link below to see it yourself–it is well worth your time.)  This research confirms what my mama (and perhaps your mama) used to say decades ago.  Indeed Mama’s wisdom was confirmed!

9 thoughts on “Week Nineteen: Mama’s Wisdom Confirmed

  1. Very nice post, enjoyed reading it…

  2. What a beautiful reflection and personalizing of this concept. In fact, I was already onto other subjects and really enjoyed the reminder of this very potent subject – thank you Celeste! Yes, our mothers really did have our best in mind 🙂 Aloha!

  3. Your Mom sounds amazing – which explains alot actually! Love this blog

  4. I often find myself remembering things my mom used to say — especially precious memories now, since we lost Mom only 12 weeks ago. Don’t you love it when science proves age-old wisdom? 🙂

    • Thanks for your response Willena. Sorry to hear of your loss…I can only imagine what you have / are feeling. It is a joy indeed to have those memories in either context. Wisdom is something I pray to God for often. And for you I pray…Father God, thank you for the relationship that Willena has had with her mom over the years. Thank you for the wonderful memories she has and for your amazing faithfulness. Please assure her that you are always with her and will provide all the comfort and peace needed to make it through the coming weeks and years. In Jesus’ name I pray (I don’t know what you believe and I trust this prayer won’t offend you but will rather bring you a feeling of being cared for…).

  5. I love the power poses. I can feel the energy kick into high right away.

Finding alignment in whatever you do – The PURUSHARTHAS

Finding alignment in whatever you do – The PURUSHARTHAS

Time: Saturday 12pm

Room: Ganesha

Facilitator: Fabienne Hansoul

The journey of yoga begins with some of life’s biggest questions, an endeavor to know who we are and why we are here. Meditating on them, the ancient Yogis discovered four fundamental aims or motivations of Life – The Purusharthas – that profoundly shape our everyday actions and guide us on the path to a meaningful life. Through the experiential workshop we will shed light on the four forces at play - Dharma, Artha, Kama & Moksha – that look directly into what drives us in our actions, the diverse demands and opportunities of our lives. Most of the time our intention behind our actions are very right and yet we feel uncertain about the directions to take. Working with the 4 Purusharthas offers a systematic, tried and tested technique, to broaden self-inquiry: Am I managing my life in a way to support my spiritual growth? What do I really want at the level of my Soul?How to align day to day actions in this direction?’. Purusharthas helps us to comprehend life as a whole, its hopes and aspirations, its acquisitions and enjoyment, its sublimation and spiritualization. The workshop is for anyone interested in exploring Yoga Psychology beyond the practices of Asana and Pranayama and in deepening the work about oneself.

Parents must face their mistakes in cheating scandal

Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

Email This Story

Actress Lori Loughlin and  her husband Mossimo Giannulli and 14 other parents recently were charged with money laundering in the college admissions bribery scandal. Loughlin and Giannulli were accused of paying $500,000 to have their two daughters enrolled at USC as crew recruits.

I found this really unfair to kids today, many of whom are working their hardest to get into a college of their choice.  Many are not getting accepted because the competition – which should be based on individual achievement – already is stiff.  Other kids don’t even get the chance to go to college because they can’t afford it. To read about wealthy parents cheating and bribing to put their kids ahead of other, more deserving students, is aggravating.  This shows how money can control anything and everything in our world.

I’m glad that our justice system is not failing, and that someone is finally getting charged for this type of cheating, instead of getting off free as seems to happen too often. I hope these parents learned their lesson, and that something like this doesn’t happen again.

McLoone's Restaurants

Philanthropy at McLoone's Restaurants

At McLoone's Restaurants the art of philanthropy starts from the top and trickles down. It is simply a part of our culture.

In 1993, Mcloone's Restaurant owner Tim McLoone founded Holiday Express, a non-profit, non-sectarian organization dedicated to bringing music, gifts, and holiday cheer to those less fortunate. McLoone's Restaurants and their employees have dedicated their time and talents to this organization. Each year all of our locations choose a Holiday Express client whether it be a soup kitchen, developmental center, psychiatric hospital, homeless shelter or any of the other people in need that Holiday Express visits. Our staff collects donations on their behalf, grants them a wish off their wish list and volunteers their time on the day of the event. In addition, our restaurant chefs prepare food to feed the clients at several events throughout the season. The food is transported to the location and employees from our restaurant are on hand to serve. It is a combined effort that our employees look forward to every year.

McLoone's Restaurants also regularly supports local organizations and charities within the communities they serve. One way in which this is accomplished is through their "Dine to Donate" program. The program is offered to both local and national charities as a way to raise money for their organization. A mutually agreed upon date and restaurant is selected and the charity then invites their members and supporters to dine at the McLoone's restaurant of choice. On the evening selected the diners present their invitation to show their affiliation to the organization and a percentage of the sales from their meal will be donated back to their charity.

Many of our employees serve on committees and participate in fund raising events for various non-profits. We encourage their coworkers to support them by sending out an internal email blast called "Help us to help others." The email highlights the opportunities in which others can help that employee in their fund raising efforts. We are proud of the "pay it forward" attitude that is part of our everyday lives at McLoone's Restaurants.

Holiday Express

Holiday Express

On Thanksgiving Eve 1993, as restaurateur and musician Tim McLoone prepared for yet another holiday surrounded by loving family and friends, he felt a strong sense of gratitude... but also a nagging sense that he should do something to bring this warmth to others less fortunate.

He turned to his network of musician friends with the idea of bringing the healing power of music to people whose lives needed an injection of happiness. By that December, his small band of troubadours and other volunteers put on parties for AIDS patients, the developmentally disabled, the isolated elderly and disadvantaged children. At the end of the first season, Tim's makeshift group of merry-makers performed for more than 6,000 people in 10 different venues.

After the tinsel and jingle bells were put into storage, Tim and his friends could not easily put aside the emotions brought on by seeing so many people in such difficult circumstances. The group knew that they had to keep the momentum going. They dubbed themselves Holiday Express, and, in 1994, received approval to operate as a non-profit, non-sectarian organization.

Every year, Holiday Express has grown in reputation, in volunteer members and in reach. The band currently boasts more than 70 singers and musicians from noted bands and the Broadway stage. Our general volunteers offer countless ideas, skills and talents.

The group visits more than 50 institutions every year between November and the end of December, bringing its unique brand of music, food, presents and pure joy to people who need the gift of human kindness. The handful of volunteers who helped host the first parties in 1993 has since mushroomed to more than 90 dedicated musicians and 1200 general volunteers who help keep the organization running like a well-oiled wheel, with just four steadfast employees who handle day-to-day operations. Indeed, Holiday Express has an indefinable something that makes a meaningful difference in the lives of thousands of area residents. This magical aura is reflected in the hugs and smiles of our many clients. No holiday glitter shines brighter!

Gen X, We Need to Talk About Euthanasia

When respected scientist Dr David Goodnall flew across the world to end his 104-year-old life, he sent a powerful message: my life, my right to die.

Advances in longevity will mean our kids will routinely live as long as Goodnall. In the meantime, we need to talk about euthanasia.

Dr David Goodall was 104 years’ old when he committed suicide.

He wasn’t terminally ill. He had a loving family. He’d lived a full life.

But in recent years, age had taken its toll. He could no longer drive to the community theatre for rehearsals. He couldn’t attend university to continue his life’s work in biology. His world closed in around him.

He had a serious fall and laid on the floor in his one-bedroom apartment for days before he was found.

Like so many others, he was moved to an aged care facility. Usually, this story would end with him passing away alone in his bed, having long sat idle in witness to his indignant decline.

But the good doctor was not one to sit idle.

Dr David Goodnall at his final press conference

The Right to Die

Goodnall was an advocate of assisted suicide. One of Exit International’s first members. He was pissed that an Australian law he opposed was prohibiting him from ending his life — forcing him into an undignified death in slow-motion.

Goodnall flew to Switzerland where assisted suicide laws had prevailed. His final act was to hold a press conference to advocate assisted suicide and to send one final fuck-you to the conservatives.

On 10 May 2018 he ended his life. On his terms.

The Euthanasia Option

Cards on the table, I’m pro euthanasia. A person’s life is their own to live, including to end. I am yet to hear counter arguments that can’t be addressed in sensible right-to-die legislation.

Polls show most people agree. In Australia, well over 80% of people support euthanasia. The story is similar in the UK  and USRegardless, progress on euthanasia has been patchy. A lack of political courage is the usual culprit.

At some point, we will have to put on our big kids’ pants and address the issue. Our life spans are increasing through safer lives, better health care and technological innovation. Our children will routinely live to be as old as Goodnall.

But will our kids want to live that long?

Would you Want to Live to 100?

While medical breakthroughs and healthy lifestyles are increasing our longevity, they do not protect us from the atrophy of ageing. You won’t be hover-boarding around the hyperloop park when you’re 100 years’ old.

You’ll be in as aged care facility where the highlight of your week would be having a suppository jammed up your ass because you hadn’t shit since last Tuesday.

Your smell, taste and touch would have depleted long ago, and your sight and hearing would be ailing. The most frequent visitor you get would be your nurse.

Family members, most of whom would be one fall away from a retirement home themselves, would feel bound to visit you. And on and on and on you go.

Caring for a Generation of Centenarians

If the next generations are forced to live out every last minute of their very long lives, how will we pay for it?

The Millennial population in the US, for example, is 60 million. If half live to be over 100 years’ old, and if they prove to be as bad at retirement savings as we Gen Xers, there is little prospect that the government could sustainably fund their health care.

At 100 years’ old, these folks would have already been retired for over three decades.

Conservatives may howl and moan when they hear arguments like these. They may falsely promote themselves as the authority on morality.

Or muddy the euthanasia debate with disinformation or fear campaigns — see the marriage equality debates for 50 billion examples. But theirs is a minority view.

Modern states can work through complex issues like euthanasia and create workable laws. Some states already have.

Generation X, We Need to Talk

In those other states, we should be talking more about euthanasia.

Each of us should inform ourselves so we can cut through the white noise of those on the extremes and take part in the discussions.

If you want to get started now, Debatewise has a page laying out both sides of the euthanasia debate.

  • About This Event

    2020 Florida Dharma Celebration with Eastern US National Spiritual Director Kadam Morten Clausen
    Teachings on How to be a Modern-day Bodhisattva with Blessing Empowerment of Avalokiteshvara

    At this year’s Florida Dharma Celebration, we will learn how to become a modern-day Bodhisattva and receive the Blessing Empowerment of Buddha Avalokiteshvara. Avalokiteshvara is the Buddha of compassion, the embodiment of enlightened compassion. The empowerment is a blissful guided meditation through which we make a direct connection with this sublime Buddha, and receive powerful blessings.

    According to Buddha, the best life is that of a Bodhisattva, a person who is progressing towards the actualization of their highest potential in order to be of real benefit to everyone. Kadam Morten will give a commentary to the practice of the Buddha of compassion, focusing in particular on the development of bodhichitta. Many people might feel that such an attainment is beyond us, but Kadam Morten will show how through skillfully applying Buddha’s teachings, we can all become Bodhisattvas, and our lives can become breathtakingly meaningful, beneficial, and joyful.

Leadership 101

How to run an effective meeting.

Photo by Christina @ wocintechchat.com on Unsplash

Most get no formal training when it comes to meeting preparation and management. That does not mean there isn’t a right way to run one.

Much like Justice Potter Stewart and his definition of obscenity, “I know it when I see it,” we all know a good meeting when we are involved in one. We also know all too well what a lousy meeting looks and feels like — the constant checking of watches or phones.

We question if anyone will know if we get up and sneak out of the back? After all, I need to get back to my real work.

In this article, we lay out five essential steps to transform your conferences from rambling and ineffective to efficient and brief.

Step 1. Before the meeting. The real success of any meeting is the preparation that went into it. If not worth spending time and effort preparing for it, then do not have a meeting in the first place.

Send an e-mail or make a call instead.

If the subject to be covered is not broad enough or does not involve a sufficient number of people, you should also send a memo or make a call.

If you can have a conference call with two or three people and not require them to leave offices or buildings to do so, productivity will improve.

Now that you have decided you do need a meeting, make sure everyone knows what it is about and is prepared to contribute.

Create an agenda. I’ll write another article soon on how to create a compelling agenda.

No, they are not all created equal.

The only thing worse than no agenda is sending one out 10 minutes before the meeting and expecting the attendees to have read it and be prepared. Be sure to send the agenda out as soon as practicable before the meeting. My recommendation is one week ahead of time.

Step 2. Only invite those who have to be there. Many corporations fall into the habit of inviting vast numbers of people to every meeting. These meetings then turn into the “who’s who” of the company. Worse yet, they become mere social gatherings where employees go to talk about their latest outings or gossip about who is getting fired, promoted, or transferred.

Keep the attendees to the absolute core group.

Send out the minutes or a targeted e-mail or memo for information needing further dissemination.

Step 3. Stick to your agenda. Be a stickler about not getting off the topic. Unless there is a life or death issue, do not give in to temptation. Such action sends a clear message to all involved that items to be discussed must get on the agenda promptly. Not doing so is disrespectful and demonstrative of poor planning.

Step 4. Create action items. As you progress through the agenda, make sure you or a recorder note who will be performing what actions and in what timeframe. When executed, each participant will leave the proceedings knowing precisely what is expected and in what period of time. These action items should leave no room for anyone to return to the next gathering unprepared.

Step 5. Adjourn. Adjournment should happen at or before the scheduled time. There should be a continual evaluation of the length of all meetings to ensure they are appropriate.

There is nothing wrong — I encourage it — with shortening scheduled times to meet. If they can be spread out (i.e., go to every other week instead of every week), all the better.

Do not let members linger.

Once adjourned, sidebar conversations can take place in the corridor or offices but not in the conference room. No excuses to let people gossip or idle.

Time to get back to work.

These rules or steps can seem a bit harsh or restrictive at first. They are not.

One of the biggest productivity killers in corporate America today is the meeting.

There are far too many of them.
They go on for far too long.
They accomplish far too little.

Podcast Live Events Will Bring In Over $55m This Year

    Amira Valliani
    Nov 18, 2019 · 7 min read

    The podcast industry is hot right now. With one-third of Americans listening monthly, podcast ad revenue is expected to cross $500 million this year and predicted to hit $1 billion by 2021. Most measurements of the size of the podcast industry only take into account ad spend, but podcasts are earning an increasingly significant share of their revenue from non-advertising related sources. These encompass everything from t-shirt sales to listener-supported or paywalled content (which we help make happen at Glow), and of course — live shows.

    We follow all aspects of the growth of the space and asked ourselves if there was any data on the size of the live events market. Our jumping off point was this Axios report from July that podcast live events had grown over 2000% in the past six years, based on data from the ticketing platform Vivid Seats. We analyzed data from Vivid Seats and found that the podcasting live shows industry will be worth over $55m this year. To put this in perspective, that is more than 10% the size of the podcast advertising market last year ($479.1 million in 2018). Here’s what else we found:

    • The top 10 events account for nearly half of the total market, coming in at $26,387,318
    • The average ticket price is $63. Event sizes range anywhere from 200 to 6,000 people.
    • Google searches for podcast live events spiked this year (peaked in May, up 244% from Dec. 2018)
    • Events are most popular in Oregon, Minnesota, and California

    *Note that this research is based off of numbers from late summer, so the numbers may have shifted a bit. However, all of the above is a good proxy for order of magnitude and broader trends.

    Let’s dive deeper into each of these findings.

    Podcast live shows will bring in over $55m this year

    We reached $55 million by analyzing ticket sales for podcast live events on Vivid Seats. We broke events down into two main categories: top-grossing tours and everything else. For the top-grossing live tours, we approximated revenue for each podcast’s tour to be $26.4 million in aggregate. We then broke the remaining shows into subcategories by analyzing average audience size and ticket cost. From that data, we were able to determine that the remaining events collectively brought in $23.4 million. The Vivid Seats data we analyzed took into account 460 shows, but some podcasts do their ticketing independently. So, to supplement our research, we created a sample of data from podcasts that don’t ticket through Vivid Seats (such as Moth Radio Hour).

    Surely our process was not perfect — in fact, we intentionally built this estimate to be conservative. In analyzing this data, we looked strictly at ticket sales. These ticket sales only account for events that have already happened or been announced as of late-August 2019 (when we began our research). Chances are that there are many events that we missed or will be scheduled before the year ends.

    The potential of live events is much greater than just ticket sales: there is extra revenue to be earned from VIP experiences, pre-show meet and greets, event sponsorships, merchandise sales etc. We also weren’t able to include revenue earned from gigs performed at large fairs and music festivals (where total attendees can surpass 100k) or other such events.

    One point to consider that puts this statistic in perspective: in 2015, podcast ad revenue was a similar size ($69 million). Today, that number is closer to $500m and expected to hit $1 billion by 2021. We can’t expect the growth of these two industries to grow in the exact same way, but if the trendline in advertising is indicative of other trends in the industry, we can continue to see significant growth in live shows.

    Google search trends for podcast live events are up, and they’re largely concentrated on the coasts — with some notable exceptions

    We wanted to better understand where this demand was coming from, so we analyzed Google search trends for podcast live events. Interest has been growing steadily for several years but spiked dramatically in just the past 8 months. Searches hit an all-time high in May, up 244% from December 2018. While interest has leveled off a bit since this all-time high, we expect interest to continue to rise in 2020 and beyond due to the proliferation of content and events in the podcast industry and continued growth in consumer interest.

    Data from Google Trends search query “Podcast Live”, accurate as of November 4th, 2019.

    We also looked into where geographically these searches were coming from in the United States.

    Although podcasts are popular across the country, demand for live events seems to be much stronger in certain states than others. As of November 4th, 2019, the data shows that 2 of the top 3 states in searches for “Podcast Live” are Oregon and California, indicating that there is significant and growing interest in these events on the West Coast as opposed to other areas of the country.

    Data from Google Trends search query “Podcast Live”, accurate as of November 4th, 2019.

    Interestingly, of the top 10 states in searches for “Podcast Live,” 7 of them are states that are primarily on the East and West coasts of the United States (in order from top to bottom: Oregon, California, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Washington, Connecticut, New York)

    Data from Google Trends search query “Podcast Live,” accurate as of November 4th, 2019.

    We can break these searches down even further, to see exactly where geographically demand is most concentrated.

    When we break searches down by city to see where searches for live podcast events are highest, the results track with our earlier results demonstrating higher interest for live events on the Coasts. The top five cities where search rates are highest include (in order): Portland,OR Los Angeles, CA, Seattle, WA, New York, NY, and San Francisco, CA.

    Data from Google Trends search query “Podcast Live,” accurate as of November 4th, 2019.

    The cities ranked from 6–10 in search rates fall within the same general geographic regions which we have delineated, indicating that interest for live podcast events is growing most significantly on the coasts of the country. The cities 6–10 are: Austin, TX, Boston, MA, Philadelphia, PA, San Diego, CA, and San Jose, CA.

    Data from Google Trends search query “Podcast Live,” accurate as of November 4th, 2019.

    However, when we look at searches by metropolitan area, live events seem to be a bit more evenly spread out across the country. Though the top five metropolitan areas continue to track with the results of the broader search data we’ve discussed — centered on the coasts — metropolitan areas in the 6–10 indicate burgeoning search interest for live podcast events across the country.

    The top five metropolitan areas in search in live podcast events are: San Diego, CA, Los Angeles, CA, Austin TX, Portland, OR, and Hartford/New Haven, CT.

    Data from Google Trends search query “Podcast Live”, accurate as of November 4th, 2019.

    As shown in the graphic below, the top 6–10 metropolitan areas for search interest include notable regions such as Minneapolis-St Paul, MN at #6, Grand Rapids-Kalamazoo-Battle Creek, MI at #8, St. Louis, MO at #9, and Detroit, MI at #10.

    Data from Google Trends search query “Podcast Live,” accurate as of November 4th, 2019.

    The proliferation of live podcast events and the growth in search interest for these events indicate that the podcast industry’s push into live entertainment will only grow in the future. Furthermore, growth in interest for these events is currently centered on the coasts of the United States.

    For podcasters interested in effectively monetizing the enthusiasm of their listener communities, live podcast events are a great option to deepen the bonds between them and their consumer bases. The most successful podcasters will be the ones who can leverage their community’s loyalty and support by centering their live podcast events in the geographic communities where there is the most demand for live podcast events.

    Glow believes live events represent a fantastic opportunity for creators to have a chance to engage directly with their fans, and can represent a very strong component of a broader membership program.
