The stories were voted on by the members of the new (at the time in the late 60s) organization Science Fiction Writers of America. In this series, I will be joined by a panel of different guests to break down these stories and talk about the authors in the book. In this episode, I am joined by two experts on the history of Science Fiction. Returning for his second appearance is Juan Sanmiguel he is an engineer and an active Science Fiction fan. Ted Hand is a teacher and long-time Philip K. Dick researcher, although he was passionate about coming on to talk about this Heinlein classic. The story we are covering is the 1940 classic “The Roads Must Roll by Robert A.

I often get asked, "how have you created the life and business you have?" What did you do to make it your reality. First, I will say, it was not by default, and it took and takes a lot of intention. Second, I lean into 2 universal laws that have allowed me to live my life as I live it now. "You get what you deserve in your imagination" and "change your thoughts, change your world". At some point on our journey as children, we lose the permission to "play make believe" or lean into our imagination. Our upbringing takes us on a journey of giving us a few choices to pick from to move forward on our professional journey. What if, you stopped and checked in with your "imagination" to see if you were living a life that you desire versus a life by default". If you desire something different than you must also change your thinking around it. Join me to learn the "secrets" I have used to live the life I have and the business I love.Book a free coaching call: BOOK NOWTo get more information about Tony and reTHINK Coaching - http://www.rethinkcoaching.com/

Michael Rich, author of The Mediatrician’s Guide, joins us to explain why we must move beyond fear of “screen time” to have more nuanced conversations with teens about finding balance, meaning and ethics in their digital lives.If you've enjoyed Talking to Teens, we'd love if you could leave us a five-star rating, and if you have time, a review! Full Show NotesTeens today have never known a world without smartphones, social media, and round-the-clock internet access. As digital devices become more and more ingrained into every aspect of their lives, it's only natural for parents to worry about the impact all this technology might have.We often hear panicked stories about social media causing depression or video game addiction destroying kids' attention spans. It makes us want to snatch the screens out of teens' hands completely! But is going cold turkey really the best approach?To help parents navigate the digital age, we're talking to Dr. Michael Rich, an expert on kids and media. Dr. Rich is an associate professor of pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and the founder and director of the Clinic for Interactive Media and Internet Disorders at Boston Children’s Hospital.He's also the author of a new book called The Mediatrician’s Guide: A Joyful Approach to Raising Healthy, Smart, Kind Kids in a Screen Saturated World. As both a pediatrician and a former filmmaker, Dr. Rich has a unique perspective on why we should move past fear-based thinking when it comes to kids and technology.Rethinking "Screen Time"Trying to simply limit screen time is an outdated way of thinking, says Dr. Rich. Screens are so embedded into every part of life that trying to quantify daily use is irrelevant. Instead of counting minutes spent staring at a device, Dr. Rich encourages intentionality. This means being mindful, balanced and present in how we interact with technology.Dr. Rich coins these practices the “killer B’s.” Being mindful means understanding how device use displaces other activities, while being balanced means taking regular screen breaks. Most importantly, being present while using devices prevents us from missing out on real world connections. Trying to upgrade from texting to calling to in-person interactions is key.Looking Below Problematic BehaviorsIt’s easy to blame devices themselves for issues like addiction or bullying. However, Dr. Rich explains that problematic digital behaviors are usually symptoms of underlying issues like ADHD, anxiety, depression or autism spectrum disorders. Taking away teens’ access without addressing root causes may make problems worse.Dr. Rich notes that teens often see their devices as tools that help them cope with or avoid difficulties in their lives. Complete removal can heighten their distress. Instead, identifying and properly treating adolescents’ mental health is key to curbing unhealthy digital habits.Fostering Digital WellnessRather than seeing devices as inherently bad, Dr. Rich focuses on how we can use them for good. Social platforms and interactive games actually have huge potential for building community, creativity and emotional skills.However, teens need guidance on using digital spaces ethically. Dr. Rich encourages parents to model intentional digital wellness and have open conversations about pitfalls like compare/despair thinking or internet rabbit holes. Promoting self-awareness and balance helps teens build healthy lifelong technology habits.Follow us on Social Media! We're @talkingtoteens on Instagram and TikTok

Have you been thinking of (or dreaming about) taking an Antarctic cruise? Cruising is huge and estimates have the cruise industry growing by another 9% in 2024. For some regular cruisers, particularly those with large disposable incomes, the great white continent, represents just another an as-yet unexplored cruise destination to conquer.  For others, Antarctica is a long-cherished dream. But what’s it really like? What can you expect on a cruise to Antarctica? Natascha Mirosch puts that question to travel journalist Catherine Marshall, who has been to Antarctica not once, but twice. They discuss the dreaded Drake Crossing, life on board an expedition ship, Antarctica’s wildlife and shore excursions. Catherine tells us about the fascinating post office at the end of the world, and the British post mistresses who come to this remote spot to man it as well as the time she had a polar swim. They also talk about the environmental impacts and whether a visit can have a positive impact. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to cruise to Antarctica, have a listen.

The Houthis back on a list of terrorists and is aiming to cut off the Iranian-backed groups funding with sanctions. The Houthis have been targeting commercial ships, avenging Rael's crackdown on Hamas. President Biden met with congressional leaders at the white house today to discuss negotiations over a national security package, which includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, and the southern border.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How frigid weather is forcing candidates to adapt. But first, we've got more on that military bombardment of terrorist targets in Yemen from U.S. And British fighter jets, ships, and a submarine. We are just learning new details, as president Biden today issued a fresh warning to the houthi militia that the U.S.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Midwest winter blast; snow in the countries mid-section. President Biden comments on a series of strikes in Yemen. Federal prosecutors says they will seek the death penalty in federal hate crimes against a white supremacist.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

As I'm recording this, Antony Blinken is on a whirlwind trip to at least eight countries in the Middle East and Mediterranean region. This flurry of diplomatic activity comes in the wake of worrying signs that the conflict in Israel and Gaza may spread throughout the region. The Houthis have mounted a series of attacks on commercial shipping off the coast of Yemen in the red sea. Meanwhile, Israel has targeted a senior Hamas and a senior Hezobollah leader with missile strikes in Lebanon. The risk of widespread regional escalation is suddenly very acute, according to my guest today Natan Sachs, the director of the Center for Middle East Policy and a senior fellow in the Foreign Policy Program at Brookings. We kick off discussing Antony Blinken's trip and what he hopes to accomplish. And this includes planning for a post-Hamas political order in Gaza. And here, Natan Sachs explains, there is significant differences between the preferences of the Biden administration and Netanyahu -- and deep divisions within Israeli politics.

Margo is joined by Shamanic Practitioner and Spiritual Guide Jade Chen. Jade supports and assists people on their healing journey and believes everyone has the capacity to activate the healer within. Her own awakening journey began in 2016 when life took some major turns and she left both a highly financially secure career and a relationship of over 6 years. She felt she had been living her life in a dazed dream; just going through the motions and trying her best to maintain surface happiness. She began to pray a lot and then reconnect to the spirit world through those prayers, and began to receive some answers. The messages she received included to acknowledge her own experience, pain and trauma and to go inward and hold space for herself in a way that felt real. Since 2016 she’s continued to receive messages that have allowed her to grow and evolve while helping others do the same. She works with people one on one and in group settings and also leads healing retreats throughout the year.    Margo and Jade discuss: Jade’s year of transformation that led her to shamanic and spiritual work What a Shamanic Practitioner is and does Use of practices like meditation and connecting with nature for healing The connection between creativity and spirituality Tapping into our inner-child through creativity The commonality of being an empath among highly creative people Overcoming imposter syndrome and anxiety in sharing creative work And more   Connect with Jade: www.mudlotuslife.com  www.instagram.com/jadelotuschen  Illuminated Women’s Business Retreat   Connect with Margo: www.instagram.com/windowsillchats www.windowsillchats.com www.patreon.com/inthewindowsill

He is the past chair of general internal medicine in Mayo Clinic in Rochester and moved to Mayo Clinic Arizona 2006 to start the integrative medicine program. Dr. Bergstrom sees patients for whom conventional medicine has had insufficient answers, including those with chronic fatigue, chronic pain, autoimmune disease.  He tells his patients that he is not so much focused on treating their disease but rather trying to find ways of helping them become healthy.We talked about:In this episode, Dr. Millstine and her guests discuss:The limits of conventional medicine. Conventional medicine can be passive, Dr. Bergstrom says: You go to the doctor and get a prescription. Dr. Bergstrom and Dr. Gladys believe in empowering their patients, engaging with them and giving them tools to improve their wellness.  A personal approach. Stress has important negative effects on health, but you can’t simply direct someone to “Be less stressed.” In fact, Dr. Bergstrom says you can’t address stress until you fully understand someone’s story: Who they are, how they got there, what’s happened to them, and how that’s affected their ability to live.Finding your “juice.” Dr. Gladys wants everyone to recognize their “juice” — her term for your reason for living, your source of joy and purpose, and what gets you out of bed in the morning. Physicians often shy away from addressing this aspect of spiritual wellness, Dr. Bergstrom says, because it’s messy. But it’s essential to understand for whole-person wellness. Can't get enough?Purchase the Mayo Clinic Press book “Live Younger Longer.”Purchase “The Well-Lived Life: A 102-Year-Old Doctor's Six Secrets to Health and Happiness at Every Age.”From Bookshop.org.From Amazon.  From Barnes & Noble.  Want to read more about health topics?

To kick off Trans Week of Awareness (Nov. 13 - 19), Geneffa Jahan sits down with local youth poet, Madeline Aliah (age 17) to hear how poetry has given her hope and a voice. Madeline reads from her chapbook of poems, This Is My Body: Poems by a Teen Trans Fem, forthcoming from Jamii Press (2024), and additional works that take her poetry beyond identity politics.

College tuition and expenses in 2023 can seem astronomical. Paying back the loans for education in America takes decades for some people. This cost alone can hinder financial progress and delay financial freedom for year. But this doesn't have to be your reality. With the right kind of approach, a marketing strategy, and a dose of resilience, a college education can be had for free. Coach Denise Thomas helped her two children earn $199,000 in college scholarship money to pay for their educations. At the end of it all, her kids actually got paid to attend college. We hear this and think there are a lot of scholarships one has to apply for, and win, to make this happen, but Denise coaches parents that this very possible feat takes more than just submitting a bunch of applications. It takes strategic marketing. How do you market your child though? Does that even sound right? Listen in to this interview with Denise to find out why that's precisely what you'll want to do if having your child graduate from college debt free sounds interesting to you. Denise coaches parents, and their kids, on how to position their children for the best next steps after high school. If you have middle school or high school aged children, or you want to go back to school yourself, this is an interview you can't afford to miss. And remember to be kind. Share this episode with friends and family who also have kids who want to go to college. This information can drastically, and positively, impact the financial future of every college aged child in the U.S.A.

The World Bank and International Monetary Fund annual meetings are taking place in Morocco this month, and for the first time in a long time there is real momentum around enacting reforms to how these decades old institions operate. A big boost to a reform agenda came at the G-20 meeting in India in early September when President Biden backed a reform agenda to increase the World Bank's capacity to support low and middle income countries with better loans aimed at promiting sustainable development. He also announced he'd ask congress for an additional $25 billion for the World Bank.  This was significant for a number of reasons. First, it demonstrated a responsiveness to the criticism of developing world countries who have long sought better financing options for climate compliant economic development projects. Second, the US is the largest shareholder at the World Bank, so what the US president says carries a great deal of weight.  On the line to discuss some of the proposed reforms--and the many political pitfalls along the way -- is Karen Mathieson, project director at the Center for Global Development. We kick off with a discussion of why the World Bank needs reform before having a longer conversation about the proposals now on the table.     

A major reversal by the Biden administration due to the ongoing crisis at the southern border. The administration is moving forward with plans to build new border barriers in South Texas.
