With the Super Mario Bros. movie trailer coming out on October 6th, fans joke on social media about how Chris Pratt will sound as Mario.
Nintendo fans are bracing to hear Chris Pratt’s Mario voice in the new Super Mario Bros. trailer. The upcoming trailer will be released on October 6th, with the movie set to release on April 7th, 2023. Many well-known actors are voicing these beloved Nintendo characters in this film, with Chris Pratt as Mario, Jack Black as Bowser, and Anya Taylor Joy as Princess Peach. This animated film will be the third Mario movie ever released, following the 1986 anime Super Mario Bros.: The Great Mission to Rescue Princess Peach! and the 1993 live-action Super Mario Bros.
Given the poor reception of the 1993 live-action Mario film, Nintendo was hesitant to try making another Mario-based film. But as Nintendo began to work closely with Universal to develop the Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios, they were introduced to Universal Studios film creators, specifically within Illuminations – the animation studio owned by Universal. Nintendo partnered with both of these studios, and in 2018 Nintendo announced its plans to create a new Mario film, with production starting in 2020.
As the trailer is set to be released very soon, fans have turned to social media to joke about what Chris Pratt’s Mario voice will sound like in an assortment of tweets. Most of the jokes are targeted at whether Pratt will sport a bad Italian accent or if the character will look like Chris Pratt himself. See a sample of fan reactions below:
Chris Pratt’s Mario Voice Will Be Revealed In Super Mario Bros. Movie Trailer
Until now, fans have not heard what Mario will sound like in Super Mario Bros. Many fans are concerned that the voice acting will not be up to par with Mario from the games or will even be Pratt doing a bad Italian accent for the duration of the film. While Pratt has voiced-acted before in Disney Pixar’s Onward, this is his first time taking on such a distinctive character, making many fans worried about how he will sound.
Given the history of Mario movies, fans are hopeful that Super Mario Bros. will not fall short of the curve. As Nintendo is partnering with Illuminations and has a lot of well-known names tied to the film, there is hope that fan reception will be primarily positive, as long as Pratt can maintain a good voice throughout the movie. When the movie trailer is released, there is no doubt that fans will have a lot to say about the voice of Mario and Pratt’s performance.

Zack Snyder's Watchmen Paved Way for Avengers, Star Says
"It's weird to say audiences weren't ready for it."
Watchmen star Patrick Wilson has praised director Zack Snyder for being "ahead of the curve" with his "dark" take on the superhero genre, suggesting it helped to pave the way for the MCU's Avengers movies.
During an interview with ReelBlend, Wilson admitted 2009's Watchmen is the only entry in his filmography he has invested time in watching after its release. He said revisiting the DC Comics adaptation made him realise how important it was for movies like The Avengers, even though they are poles apart.
"Watchmen is the only movie of mine that I have watched front to back since a premiere. That movie is awesome," Wilson said. "I just wanted to look at it as an older guy, as a filmmaker. I knew Zack was ahead of the curve. It's weird to say that audiences weren't ready for it. But you need a movie like that. You need movies to go so dark that then Avengers can go so light. I do believe in that."
I knew Zack was ahead of the curve. It's weird to say that audiences weren't ready for it.
The first Avengers movie hit theaters in 2012, three years after Watchmen. Wilson, who starred in the film as Dan Dreiberg/Nite Owl II, said it would be "so awesome" to "do that movie now," given it has been well over a decade since Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore's classic graphic novel arrived on the big screen.
Watchmen was Snyder's first foray into true superhero cinema (having already made his mark in comics-based filmmaking with 300), and he made no attempt to pull back from the violence, sex, and adult nature of its source material. It's a divisive film among fans, with some saying the R-rated feature is too faithful to the comic.
HBO brought Watchmen back in 2019 with a limited series by Damon Lindelof. The series received widespread critical acclaim and earned multiple awards, including seven Emmys in 2020. However, Lindelof left his role as showrunner after the first season because he felt the nine episodes represented a complete story.

EDMONTON, Alberta (AP) - Mike Morrison was perfect in shootouts. Now he has a blemish.
The Oilers rookie goaltender suffered his first loss in six shootout tries after Dennis Wideman scored to lead the St. Louis Blues over Edmonton 5-4 on Sunday.
"He went East, I went West," said Morrison, who had returned for the shootout after being pulled for allowing two goals on the opening five shots.
"I wanted to get in there and make up for it and keep the streak alive."
Lee Stempniak scored twice and Keith Tkachuk and Jay McClement also scored for St. Louis, which improved to 5-1-1 since trading Doug Weight.
"Happy going into the break," said Wideman, who broke in on Morrison and kicked his leg before deking to the backhand for his second goal in four shootout attempts.
"The puck is starting to go in the net of us."
Blues captain Dallas Drake finished with two assists.
Smyth, who will join teammate Chris Pronger on the Canadian Olympic men's hockey team, tipped Marc-Andre Bergeron's point shot past Curtis Sanford in the first period, and shoveled a puck past Sanford in the third for his team-leading 27th goal heading into the Olympic break.
"Our lineup was pretty depleted," Pronger said. "This was a big point for us."
Forward Jarret Stoll extended his career-high scoring streak to nine games with an assist on Torres' opening goal at 3:47. Stempniak tied the score at 6:05 before Smyth tipped in Bergeron's point shot to give Edmonton a 2-1 lead 23 seconds later.
"I was impressed with how we bounced back," said Oilers coach Craig MacTavish. "It was a big goal by Georges."
Tkachuk's power-play goal at 13:29 chased Morrison in favor of Jussi Markkanen, who made 14 saves.
After Stempniak gave the Blues a 3-2 lead with the only goal of the second period, Smyth's second goal early in the third tied the game. McClement scored at 16:24 to put the Blues ahead before Laraque notched his second of the season at 17:37 to force overtime.
Edmonton centre Shawn Horcoff was briefly taken from the ice in the second period following a head-to-head collision with Hemsky, who also went to the locker-room but returned soon after. Hemsky, an Olympian with the Czech Republic, finished with two assists.
Notes: A Canadian flag autographed by season ticket holders was presented to Smyth and Pronger before the game. ... Pronger has a cracked bone in his right foot but says he won't miss his third Olympics. ... Edmonton forward Ethan Moreau (sprained ankle) and defensemen Igor Ulanov (ribs) and Dick Tarnstrom (respiratory infection) also sat out. ... Eight Blues who played Sunday didn't start the season with the team. ... Drake has gone 22 games without a goal.

Intex eyes Rs. 1,800 cr revenue from mobile handset biz
Mobile handset maker Intex today said it expects to garner Rs. 1,800 crore in revenues this fiscal on the back of strong growth in smartphone sales in the country.Updated: Sep 04, 2013 17:37 IST
Mobile handset maker Intex today said it expects to garner Rs. 1,800 crore in revenues this fiscal on the back of strong growth in smartphone sales in the country.
This is an ambitious target for the company, which posted Rs. 425 crore from the segment last fiscal.
"The target may be big but we have seen 400 % growth quarter on quarter in terms of sales. Earlier, we were targetting Rs. 1,200 crore in revenues for this fiscal, but now we have revised it to Rs. 1,800 crore," Intex Technologies Senior General Manager Sanjay Kalirona told PTI.
The Group turnover has also been revised from Rs. 2,000 crore to Rs. 2,500 crore for the year, he added.
The company also manufactures computer peripherals.
Intex, which launched its i7 smartphone today, is also looking at launching eight more such devices in the next two months.
"Currently, we have 35 feature phones, 12 smartphones and three tablets in our range. In the next 2 months, we will have eight more smartphones in the Rs. 4,000-Rs. 20,000 range," Kalirona said.
Priced at 21,900, the i7 is the most expensive handset from the Intex stable. The 5-inch device is equipped with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean OS, 1.5GHz quad core processor, 2GB RAM and 32 GB built-in memory (not expandable).
Intex will also offer 5 GB additional storage space on the cloud for consumers. The phone also has a 13 megapixel rear camera and a 5 MP front camera.
Besides applications like Matrabhasha and my screen (allows users to perform four functions simultaneously), the phone comes with a 'look away' feature (pauses the device when the user looks away).

Also called Breathing Difficulties
What is Asthma?
Asthma is a common and sometimes debilitating respiratory disorder which can affect people of all ages. Asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases in New Zealand. Sufferers can experience difficulty breathing, with an associated wheeze and tightness of the chest. Other symptoms may include coughing, vomiting and shaking.
Medication is usually a substance that dilates and reduces the tightness of the airways such as Ventolin and or a Steroid anti inflammatory like Prednisone.
Osteopathic treatment will usually reduce dependence on these drugs.
What happens to the body during an asthma attack?
Asthma is basically a breathing problem resulting from increased sensitivity of the airways which can be provoked by a range of stimuli, resulting in narrowing of the airways.
When an asthma attack starts, the muscle layer within the airway wall contracts and the lining of the airway swells, causing the airways to narrow and mucous to be secreted into the airway. As a result, it is more difficult for air to flow in and out of the lungs and breathing becomes difficult. The ‘wheezing’ sound of asthma is caused by the noise of air passing through the narrow, swollen airways. In very severe cases, so little air is being moved in and out that almost no sound is audible.
In addition, an irritating cough is often present. Sometimes a small amount of thick mucous is produced. If the attack is severe, the airways become very narrow and the diaphragm, which is the main breathing muscle, has to call on the secondary breathing muscles in the rib, neck and abdominal regions to help. This results in more energy being used to breath, which can result in severe breathlessness and exhaustion.
As with many conditions, asthmatics react differently to attacks. Some may become very quiet or subdued as they concentrate on their breathing, while others may be obviously distressed and breathless, with a pronounced wheeze.
What is the difference between allergic and non-allergic asthma?
There are two different types of asthma: allergic and non-allergic.
Allergic asthma– symptoms are usually the result of inhaling or consuming some kind of external substance such as pollen, dust mites, mould, wheat or dairy produce.
Non-allergic asthma– can be triggered by a range of different factors, including physical exertion, some medications, fatigue, stress or exposure to environments which are cold and damp.
How can an osteopath help with asthma?
An osteopath can assist asthma sufferers by gently working with the body’s structure to improve and enhance the breathing mechanism by;
- relaxing the respiratory muscles,
- reducing the tension around the Bronchi
- improving the mechanics of the ribs and thorax
- freeing restrictions of the chest, ribs and spine,
- improving lymphatic drainage from the lungs and airways and
- enhancing the blood supply to the chest region.
The osteopath will use a variety of manual techniques to achieve the above. Including, soft tissue stretching and massage, along with articulation and mobilisation of the joints. Other areas of management include the formulation of an individual exercise program, with emphasis on breathing exercises and the avoidance of aggravating factors. The osteopath may also provide advice on diet, posture, lifestyle and first aid measures during an attack.
Osteopathy works well in conjunction with other health care professionals, with the long-term aim of reducing a sufferer’s dependency on their medication.

7 unique adventures to have in Japan
In a land where ancient traditions, time-honoured cultural practices and the spiritual beauty of nature are respected and celebrated, acting consciously is at the very heart of Japanese society.
Japan‘s sustainability practices are rooted in many aspects of its culture; evident in its appreciation of nature, with everything from mountains to trees to waterways viewed as objects of worship (kami); the belief that elements in nature are inhabited by deities and should therefore be respected and protected is a guiding principle of the Shinto religion. They are at the heart of the philosophy of wabi-sabi, which encourages finding beauty in the imperfect, impermanent and incomplete in nature and in life.
This means when it comes to adventures, plenty of earth-friendly options are readily available and offered with pride. Propel yourself through sacred islands and floating torii gates by paddle power, hike thousands of metres above sea level on dramatic mountainscapes, or get your hands dirty picking and planting.
Here are some to sample.
1. Learn pottery making in Arita
The tradition of ceramic making stretches back over 400 years in the town of Arita, located in Saga Prefecture on the island of Kyushu.
Visiting here not only allows you to learn the history of the craft, but you can also experience it first-hand by creating your own original piece as part of a local workshop.
2. Stay at a Buddhist temple in Koyasan
The mountain settlement of Koyasan in Wakayama Prefecture is one of the spiritual homes of esoteric Buddhism in Japan, with over 100 temples scattered throughout its UNESCO World Heritage-listed temple complex.
The ultimate way to truly immerse yourself in the tranquillity of this exquisite location is with a temple stay; over 50 temples offer accommodation options to visitors which includes the chance to enjoy shojin ryori (traditional vegetarian Buddhist cuisine) and wake early to witness the morning prayer ritual of the resident monks through a thick, fragrant haze of incense smoke.
3. Walk with Japan’s indigenous peoples, the Ainu
Japan’s indigenous Ainu people have lived in harmony with nature for millennia, and still honour their ancient ways on the island of Hokkaido.
The settlement of Akanko Ainu Kotan, within Akan-Mashu National Park, is the perfect place to learn about the history and stories of these proud people, while taking part in an Asahikawa Hiking and Ainu Culture Tour offers the chance to experience the wonders of the natural landscape through their pure and respectful filter.
4. Discover the art of indigo dyeing in Nagara River Basin
For centuries, indigo dyeing has been undertaken in the Nagara River Basin of Gifu Prefecture.
Visiting a traditional dye house in the town of Gujo Hachiman is a vivid way to indulge in this history, watching as artisans at Watanabe Somemono Dyehouse – who have had knowledge passed to them through a staggering 15 generations – practise aizome indigo dyeing techniques and share their skills to help you produce your own piece.
5. Take the Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage
The Shikoku 88 Temple Pilgrimage, or Shikoku Henro, laces its way from the top of the island of Shikoku along a 1400-kilometre track, passing 88 sacred temples in the process.
Pilgrims have been undertaking this journey in silent reverence for some 1200 years, immersing themselves in the pristine natural landscape that surrounds them as they go.
The entire journey can take over a month to complete, depending on the pace you set, but it is possible to walk parts of it over a few days or a few weeks.
6. Become a kurabito (sake brewer) at Saku
The brewing of sake is another time-honoured practice in Japan, and the Saku area of Nagano Prefecture is famed for the quality of the clear, crisp beverage made there.
You can learn the ways of a kurabito (sake brewer) at Kitsukura Shuzo, a traditional sake brewery utilising sustainable, small-batch production methods for over 300 years. A three-day stay allows you to join master brewers to learn how sake is made, before retiring to accommodation in an on-site building where the brewers once lived.
7. Visit a historic tea house in Kanazawa
Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture is renowned for the traditional hospitality afforded by its geisha, also known as ‘geigi’.
At Kaikaro in the Higashi Chaya District, the town’s historic tea-house district, you can witness the performance of traditional dances and songs and gain an insight into the elegance of geisha culture, while enjoying refreshing Japanese tea and sweets.
8. Bike ride Japan’s National Cycle Routes
Japan is the perfect place to saddle up and explore by bike. The National Cycle Routes are the ultimate reference point for planning a cycling adventure because they include a range of route lengths and difficulty levels.
For beginners, the 70-kilometre Shimanani Kaido stretches from Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture across the bridges and islands of the Seto Inland Sea to its official finish in Imabari on the island of Shikoku.
For more advanced long-distance riders, the 1400-kilometre Pacific Cycling Road passes through a total of six prefectures (Wakayama, Mie, Aichi, Shizuoka, Kanagawa and Chiba), as it tracks a join-the-dots journey from vibrant cities to charming villages to secluded beaches along ruggedly scenic coastal roads (and via a few ferry transfers).
There are a number of jaw-dropping attractions along the way, including Meoto-Iwa (Wedded Rocks), a pair of sacred rocks joined by rope (the larger one represents the husband, the smaller one the wife) sitting in the ocean off Ise City in Mie Prefecture.
9. SUP board through a floating torii gate
For stand-up paddle boarding, things don’t get more magical than navigating yourself through the waters of the Seto Inland Sea towards Hiroshima’s UNESCO World Heritage-listed floating torii gate and onto the sacred island of Miyajima, home of the evocative Itsukushima Shrine.
10. Raft down the Yoshino River
Propel yourself across Japan’s abundant aquatic and marine landscapes, with adventures ranging from leisurely kayaking tours to white-knuckle rafting expeditions.
Get your heart pumping on the 194-kilometre Yoshino River, which flows from Kochi Prefecture to Tokushima Prefecture on the island of Shikoku. Known as Japan’s wildest river, it has some of the best rapids in the country.
If you’d rather your adventure at a leisurely pace, kayak the still waters of Lake Biwa in Shiga Prefecture – Japan’s largest freshwater lake. Take in the shrines, temples and beaches that line it, as well as the delightful cherry blossoms that erupt during spring.
Stay relaxed while canoeing in Hokkaido’s Kushiro Shitsugen National Park wetlands, revered for stunning landscapes and abundant wildlife, from iconic red-crowned cranes to sweet-faced Ezo deer. In Niseko, Hokkaido, the melting of the winter snows that the area is famed for results in the Shiribetsu River rising by metres and creating the perfect seasonal rafting conditions.
11. Paraglide over Tottori Sand Dunes
Take to the skies for a drone-like survey of the landscape, powered only by the whim of the wind. Paragliding expeditions are available over the otherworldly sweep of the Tottori Sand Dunes, bordering the blue waters of the Sea of Japan and part of San’inkaigan National Park in Tottori Prefecture, and the vivid, green patchwork of Aso in Kyushu’s Kumamoto Prefecture.
Or try a tandem hang-gliding flight in Oshino, Yamanashi Prefecture, to wonder at jaw-dropping views of Mt Fuji in the distance as you float weightlessly through the sky.

Sorry this sketch is late. It was done, last night, at Nickie's (a bar near The Bunker). Some friends met my lady and I there, for Inaugural Celebration drinks. The other kids were downing "Obamapolitans," but I stuck with my Racer 5 IPA. Two pints of that stuff will do ya right!
But I got home, ate a late dinner, and realized I was way too faded to operate a scanner. Much less, type out full sentences. So here's my eigth Sketch-A-Day piece.
I'm working towards a big solo show, this August, called "We Can Be Heroes." The exhibit will be about elevating the mundane to new heights... it's "genre" work, but for our modern times, and with a healthy dose of fantasy. I think one of the things we've forgotten, socially, is how to imagine... how to crack open reality and dream outside of it. So I want this show to do that -- to crack open reality.
One of the characters I'll expose in some of the pieces, is Ignorance. More specifically, he represents African-American ignorance. This guy is a constant plague of my fellow black people. I first sketched him last year. Basically, he's an ink-black, lanky, nude man in a crooked Ku Klux Klan hood. When he puts his mojo on his victims... well, I think I'll save that creepiness for another post.
For now, the sketch at hand is of his demise. I imagined him being struck down by a spear of light, harnessed by people trying to stamp him out. I guess the glut of Inauguration love inspired this one. Yesterday was the first time I'd ever even thought to illustrating Ignorance being destroyed. There's also some "Christ Stamping Out Evil," inspiration in there too. I've seen that depicted in a few classical paintings (*There's a really good one at the Columbus Art Museum near CCAD*). I'm sure that will play into my final composition for the piece.

Letter: Park District Gives Thanks for 'Amazing' Market Season
Sep 29, 2014 01:12PM
● By Steven Jack
Thanks for an Amazing 2014 Market!
Thank you to everyone in the community who shopped and supported Oswego’s Country Market on Sunday mornings on Main Street. It was another great season filled with great products, wonderful people, and beautiful weather. Many of the vendors continue to share with us that our market is their favorite because of the people in our community! They look forward to seeing their “regulars” at the market each week as much as we look forward to getting our favorite things from them.
Thank you to Bob Tripp, N.M.Tripp Insurance Agency, Inc. for generously allowing the market to set up in their parking lot, and to all of the other downtown businesses who have supported the market by sharing parking, opening on Sundays, and joining us as vendors! Shoppers and vendors love the downtown location and new Main Street layout as it draws a crowd to the heart of Oswego on Sunday mornings!
We are already planning for 2015! Please fill out the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/oswegocountrymarket2014 to let us know what you like about Oswego’s market and share ways that we could make it even better. Contact Cori Veverka at firstname.lastname@example.org or call 630.554.4433.
Thank you again for a wonderful season and we look forward to seeing you next year!

I have Peace Orders established against the parents of my daughters harasser. These Peace Orders have been repeatedly violated this family yet the Howard County State Attorney’s Office has admitted an unwillingness to prosecute in incorrectly stating that the peace order does not provide provisions for protection for me when it in fact does. The Howard County Police Department and Sheriff’s Department have been unwilling to act due to the age of my daughter’s offender. That in itself is understandable to a degree. However I have mentioned many times to them that this older child has committed these same acts upon children within our community and at Longfellow Elementary. Hence it’s not just my personal problem, it’s an institutional and community problem.
All that being said, I have penned a letter (Please see attached) that details my litany of concerns regarding the institutions in Howard County. I believe it critical that you look into this as it deals with public safety and justice for all individuals within Howard County including myself. As a result, I spoke with David Little, Howard County Director of Constituent Services and Community Partnership at length regarding these matters on 2 February 2016. While Mr. Little was empathetic, his hands are tied as a member of the Howard County Executives Office as these institutions report to the State of Maryland Versus Howard County. With all of that being said, it is my sincere hope that you will afford me the same platform in discussing these matter not only for myself but on behalf of all citizens in Howard County once you have had an opportunity to peruse the attached letter. Thank you for all that you do on behalf of all of the residents of this great State of Maryland.

MELL Square’s trial of pay-and-display parking will be extended until December while a three month trial is to be introduced at Lode Lane, it has been confirmed.
A council report acknowledged the new arrangements, introduced almost 12 months ago, had been unpopular with some customers and local retailers, while the car park income from April to December was around £170,000 down on the same period in 2011.
But transport officer Paul Tovey said the council and partners such as Solihull BID, would be working to promote local traders in Mell Square through various events.
“We need to get more people to come back to Mell Square car park,” he told last Thursday’s transport and highways meeting.
“We recognise it has had an impact on business.
“We would certainly like to do some work with traders in Mell Square to help promote them.”
Solihull Ratepayers’ Assocation representative Trevor Eames claimed independent traders had seen a 12 per cent reduction in trade since the trial, although Mr Tovey said the figure was more like three.
“People can’t do a leisurely shop when they are worrying about getting a parking ticket,” Mr Eames added.
The committee heard a pay-and-display system at Mell Square and Lode Lane car park would save around £100,000 a year.
Paul Round, Mell Square’s centre manager said he was keen to work with Solihull Council to promote traders but was hopeful a “spirited compromise” could be reached before the end of the twelve months.
“As far as retailers are concerned, not just in Mell Square but in the rest of town, a large proportion of their customers would like to see pay-on-foot reinstated as soon as possible.”

It goes without saying that music and exercise can help you better understand your body. However, one well-known film reveals how powerful that bond may be.
Marta C. González, a prima dancer with the New York Ballet in the 1960s, appears in the video. González, who died in 2019 after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease, the most common type of dementia, is shown in the video reenacting what appears to be a Swan Lake dance while listening to the music in her wheelchair.
Despite the effects of Alzheimer’s disease on her memory, González appeared to instantly perceive an emotional and bodily connection to the music she had danced to on stage; the clip of her remembering the routine is guaranteed to give you chills.
The video was initially published by the Asociación Msica para Despertar, a Spanish organization that works with Alzheimer’s and dementia patients and utilizes music to help improve their mood and memory. However, it is now going viral on the internet thanks to celebrity fans such as Jennifer Garner, Antonio Banderas, and world-renowned choreographer Arlene Phillips.
The González video was shared on Instagram with the remark, “Our intrinsic connection to music, movement, and the arts is incredible.” “This former ballerina’s sense memory of Swan Lake completely melts my heart.” We appreciate your involvement in the Alzheimer’s battle.”
Banderas shared the video on Facebook, saying he hoped it would be “a well-deserved honor of [González’s] inventiveness and devotion.”
According to Phillips (known for choreographing multiple successful musicals, including Grease and The Wizard of Oz), González’s “glimpses of reminiscence” throughout the film “broke her heart” to see. She commented, “How priceless if music and dance can hold or restore memory.”
González may have remembered the Swan Lake dance from her childhood because, while Alzheimer’s and other types of dementia can cause irreversible memory loss, music (and movement) appears to be able to assist preserve some memories.
In a 2017 cover article for Dimensions, a magazine of the University of Washington’s Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center, neuropsychologist Kristoffer Rhoads, Ph.D., addressed the potential links between music and dance and memory recall.
According to Rhoads, the complicated cross-body motions of dancing “first and foremost recruit and exercise the procedural memory system.” He defines procedural memory as a sort of long-term memory associated with learnt movement sequences (consider motor abilities like walking, driving a car, riding a bike, etc.).
Furthermore, he noted, “it is the form of memory that lasts longer in persons with Alzheimer’s disease, and it may benefit individuals in compensating for short-term memory problems.”
In the 2014 film Alive Inside, the relationship between music and memory is also explored. In the documentary’s trailer, neurologist Oliver Sacks, M.D. is heard saying, “music has more ability to engage more sections of the brain than any other stimulation.”
Concetta Tomaino, executive director and co-founder of the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function, added, “We have a portal to stimulate and reach someone who is otherwise unreachable by using music to activate certain neuronal pathways in the brains of dementia patients.”

On Halloween afternoon I found myself at a bar with my mentor Reid Mihalko. I was recounting to him a conversation I'd had with a lover who was recently and unexpectedly back in my life after some time apart. Almost exactly a year ago I had called Reid to solicit his coaching to help me move on at the time when this same person had unexpectedly cut the sexual/romantic element out of our relationship.
"You got kind of relationshippy," my lover had said just days earlier, in my bed as we pressed against one another, clearly about to have sex for the first time in over a year. Last year when we’d dated he had been recently single after a very long relationship and needed to be on his own. "Relationshippy?" I replied with a skeptically furrowed brow. "Well, you weren't, it seemed, and then you were." I remembered the conversation he was referencing: a year ago when he'd cavalierly ended our sexual involvement, he'd been surprised that that had hurt me, so I'd decided to tell him how passionately I felt about him, which it seems in retrospect he had interpreted as a desire for monogamy. "Well, maybe," I continued, brow still furrowed, "but me being relationshippy as a millennial is a lot different from you being relationshippy as a Gen Xer."
I related this to Reid and he promptly tweeted the quote.
I started to think back to how I was slut-shamed by the authors of The Rules this summer during a teleconference with New York Magazine for an article in their sex issue. They told me that I couldn't possibly actually enjoy the long-distance, non-monogamous relationship I was in at the time; they told me that when I was ready they would sit down and do a client history with me, that they would figure out where Daddy had hurt me and why it had made me so sad and desperate. I later went on to write a blog entry where I debunked their supposition that any woman who claimed to desire non-monogamy was just faking it in order to hold onto a relationship with a guy who just wouldn't commit to her.
I also thought back to the comments section on my interview in the Daily Mail a few months back. In the interview, the Daily Mail had asked me how my boyfriend felt about my work. I replied that I had broken up with my most recent boyfriend because of differences in our personal growth but that I had yet to date a man who didn't respect what I had written, and one commenter, a young woman, had written in response, "She doesn't even have a boyfriend! Why should we listen to her? I have a boyfriend, where's my book deal?"
I thought about a lot of friends who were in unhappy relationships that were still tagged as relationships on Facebook.
I thought back to said boyfriend. I remembered a text he'd written me: "I am in painful love with you. You are filling my MIND with thoughts."
I remembered breaking up with him. I had wanted things to work, but I'd discovered some deeply problematic dealbreakers. I had rushed into a relationship label that wasn't really merited yet, and I’d paid dearly for that. It had felt so good at the time to make that move into solidarity together, to be two people choosing to commit to making it work. My readers had been so happy for me upon seeing us with one another, and I couldn't even fake it for appearances anymore, even after I’d sent him back to his hometown ten hours away so I could have some space. I broke up with him in one text message, and he, confirming my decision if there'd been any doubt in my mind, had replied with a handshake emoticon.
I could have kept that relationship if I'd wanted to. I could have told the Daily Mail that my boyfriend was in painful love with me and that I was filling his mind with thoughts. I could have easily set my Facebook status to "In A Relationship," and maybe then that commenter wouldn't have had such a strenuous argument against my success.
But one of the most important skills to have in a relationship, counterintuitively, is to know how to be alone. I said it in The New Rules Of Attraction: “If you feel that any condition in the relationship still gives you more value by staying than you would get by leaving, then you will be doomed to live in any condition your partner chooses.” If you can’t be alone, you will be doomed to stay in some very poor relationships.
I related some of this to my friend J.P. Robichaud, who is a fellow enthusiast of things like rope and kink and non-monogamy. I complained about the deficit in credibility often afforded me as a relationship expert not in a (traditional, public, monogamous) relationship, and he told me about a concept called the Relationship Escalator, defined as “the default set of societal expectations for the proper conduct of intimate relationships. Progressive steps with clearly visible markers and a presumed structural goal of permanently monogamous (sexually and romantically exclusive), cohabitating marriage — legally sanctioned if possible. The social standard by which most people gauge whether a developing intimate relationship is significant, ‘serious,’ good, healthy, committed or worth pursuing or continuing.” What’s problematic about the concept of the Relationship Escalator is how divisive and, well, judgy it is. As the creator of the term states, “Our society reflexively trivializes, ignores, or vilifies other choices or preferences for conducting intimate relationships. Getting to the top of the escalator socially validates you as an adult and as a person worthy of love and respect. Not succeeding in getting there, voluntarily stepping off — or worse, not wanting to ride at all — marks you as immature, defective, damaged, selfish, untrustworthy and possibly even dangerous.”
Earlier tonight I sat at a dinner table with a flirtatious friend of mine, a 74-year-old ad man, a real life Don Draper at the other end of several decades. He was there with his best friend, who was arguing over something on the bill. "He's just like a wife," my friend joked. "I'd say fuck him, but we don't fuck wives.” I told him how I had been thinking of relationships differently lately, how the world seemed to want me to slap on a label of credibility that seemed to come with marriage, some sort of relationship expert validation in the form of a diamond ring, and how what I wanted was something different. According to this man, his wife was happy; they had a solid relationship with her being very well cared for and him being able to execute his freedom as he wished. And that may very well have been true. But that, I told him, wasn't what I wanted or how I ever saw myself. He looked at me with a wink and said, “I know.”
My own experience with cohabitation took place around 2008. The boyfriend of over three years I was with at the time had lost everything and I had offered my space for him to move in rent-free while he got back on his feet. He moved in, and like clockwork the passion in our relationship died. His things cluttered my formerly chic bachelorette one-bedroom apartment, perfect for one but arduous and cramped for the two of us. He spent ten-hour days trying unprofitably to build a business I knew was destined to fail, contributing nothing to our relationship emotionally, spiritually, sexually, financially. I suffered over a year's worth of this and then kicked him out. My experience with cohabitation was a decidedly non-romantic one, borne of necessity and not of a desire for intimacy through proximity.
But despite the bias of my experience I'm not sure I share the dream of cohabitation that seems so popular. If I ever do move in with a lover again, I'll be sure to do it when we both have the finances to create a home from scratch, rather than a makeshift move-in to one person's place or another. But even that isn't on my wish radar. Instead what I'm dreaming about is my next apartment -– I’m moving in just a few months -– where for the first time since moving to my current New York bachelorette pad in 2007 I'll get to purchase all new furniture and finishings, gleefully exercising my personal branding with environmental transference in mind. I'm thinking of soft ivory bedding, wrought-iron attachment points for rope bondage, delicate wine glasses hanging upside-down in the kitchen, candles everywhere. Not all that different from my current place, actually, but a chance to do it again, better, fresher, darker, more committed to fantasy.
In The Art of Seduction, Robert Greene describes the seductresses of history: "Once they had their victim's interest, these women would lure them away from the masculine world of war and politics and get them to spend time in the feminine world -- a world of luxury, spectacle, and pleasure." I thought whimsically about the legendary Floating World of Japan, and about Cleopatra welcoming Antony into Egypt. I thought about my warrior-like Mediterranean lover of over two years and the night that I told him, post-coitally, the story of Antony and Cleopatra, told him about the courtesans of the Italian renaissance who were neither whores nor wives but educated sexual companions, and then tried to convince him that we were Ares and Aphrodite incarnate in human form, and how I believed myself when I said it. In the morning as he dressed by my bedside he said, with a wistful smile and some thoughtful consideration, how he thought that society should bring back the institution of the courtesan, and I had bitten my lip gleefully at the compliment.
My therapist once related to me how she watched people say over and over again that they want one kind of relationship but always end up in another, and how after a while she asked them to question what they really wanted. I brought this up to her recently and told her that I couldn't escape the desire to be a refuge, to bring to life that luxurious world of sensual feminine pleasures separate from the masculine world my lovers so often inhabit in their everyday lives. And that in order to create that magic, I need a certain degree of solitude that a partnership like marriage would likely not be able to afford me (although sometimes I think it would be an incredibly interesting challenge to attempt).
In bed with my returned lover that night, I whispered to him, "I don't need to be your girlfriend. I just want to be your geisha."
I also recounted this to Reid on Halloween afternoon over whiskey. I can't remember if Reid was the first person to define my sexuality as geisha or if he was merely the first person to take me seriously when I said it myself, but it was his validation that caused me to stop saying it as a half-joke and to own it as truth. Reid said to me, "You know Arden, even a geisha's main patron often came and went as he pleased." I immediately raised both hands to my face, on the verge of tears, not sure whether they came from sadness or joy. Simultaneously I felt as if I'd been condemned to a life of longing and also as if I'd finally been given permission to live life exactly as I wish it. I felt a sad yet intoxicating freedom. I felt deliriously happy. “A geisha knew she was never supposed to be anyone’s ‘the One and Only,’” Reid continued, “and a truly happy geisha had no delusions about that, which allowed her to truly be free and show up to be of service. And being of service wasn’t an obligation but a love language of hers, and sourced a deep, deep calling and sense of purpose. An empowered purpose. Not an obligation, but a choice.”
And I know I’ll probably get flak on this post, the same kind of flak I took on the post where I talked about my then-estranged, now-returned lover breaking off our sexual involvement because he said he needed to do work on himself and not because he didn’t think I was awesome. Come on, Arden. Surely this can’t be true. He left you because he wasn’t that into you and you don’t want to admit that. Surely this can’t be true either. You disdain monogamy because you can’t get a man to be monogamous with you; you have failed at the Relationship Escalator and so you are a pariah not worthy of your “expert” title. You are lesser because you can’t say you’re In A Relationship on Facebook. Wah wah. Where’s MY book deal.
The only defense I have to that is that I have left every monogamous arrangement I ever entered. I dumped my last boyfriend, I dumped the boyfriend who moved in with me, and the one before him and the one before him. I’m sure I could have kept them all if I cared about the status and legitimacy imparted on me by a successful trip up the Relationship Escalator more than I cared about staying true to my own happiness, but I don’t. I have, however, kept the lovers who have shown up and allowed me to work my magic with them, who have granted me my freedom and accepted my being of service, some for years at a time.
And for a long time I figured this was just the most viable option with the people I found myself most attracted to, people who also seemed to value their freedom, but maybe I need to stop blaming my choices on my lovers' preferences and realize that this kind of relationship, this refuge of a relationship with its excellent bedding and immersive feminine pleasures, is really what I dig most, because clearly it's what I keep choosing, over and over again. And yes, I do want a primary partner one day, and maybe I'll even call him a boyfriend, but even that ideal future partnership I imagine to look the same -- just with more frequency, consistency, and ever-deepening intimacy and knowledge of one another -- and never at the expense of that relationship arising organically out of both parties' desires to be there. I will never prioritize a relationship status over the truths of the people in it.
Above all I crave passion. I even crave craving. I think back to reading my hero Dr. Helen Fisher's work about the roles of dopamine and incentive salience in relationships, how it is those chemicals that keep us awake at night obsessing over our beloved, and how those things are dulled after too much exposure and mundanity, how other chemicals like oxytocin and endorphins, literally opiates, dullers of the senses, seep in and make us feel comfortable and affectionate and, slowly, bored. I'm starting to think that despite what so many men have told me, despite my bacon apple pies baked in cheekily self-referential heels and aprons, I'm really not wife material. I'm not the woman who argues with you over the bill, the one you don't fuck. I'm the one you do fuck. And the moment you stop fucking me, I'm out. I will refuse to let a man wife me until he convinces me that he can sustain that passion that so often gets taken for granted in the mores of tradition. My love is a rebel; my love will forever buck against the tide. If you're not down for that, I'm not your girl.
All this is to say that if you are looking for me to land a ring on my finger in order to give my work credibility, I wouldn't hold out too much hope. I might reserve the right to change my mind in the future, but for now I am stupidly happy being the fucking Floating World incarnate. Deeper, darker, more truthful. There is truth in our sex. I will hold any lover's truth close to my heart, and draw the lines of our relationship around it, because that is where the magic begins.
And if you feel the same way, or anything remotely like it, if you are here because you too doubt the false promises of tradition, don't ever let anyone else make you feel bad about yourself for your choices. We're here to carve out our own worlds, not to accept the paltry boxes handed to us. We are part of a revolution and we accept nothing less than our own fulfillment in whatever shape that may take.

Hello everyone, my name is Gigi, I am from Austria and beginning next year I will move to Placencia. After around one year the plan is to move on a Caye 6 miles from Placencia.
To my question: I have a diagnosed allergy against the toxin of wasps. In Austria there are sometimes 5-10 wasps around you in the summer, especially when you are at an outdoor place of a restaurant or bar during daylight until the evening. I also know a beach in Portugal, where it was horrible - it was a place, where tourist-ships come to BBQ, and the whole beach was buzzing with thousands of wasps.
Besides the place in Portugal, where I really wished to have an emergency medication with me, after some years of carrying always my allergy-epi-pen with me and checking, that it´s not getting too hot, I stopped caring about it. 2 years ago a wasp got me, but fortunately nothing severe happened. But I thought about the fact, that in Belize and in case of emergency I won´t have a hospital at any place 5 minutes away from me and to reconsider my easy mind about the possible risk ;-)
How would you describe the amount of wasps? I´ve been around a year in the Caribbean (Dominican Republic, Cuba, Costa Rica) but I nearly never saw a wasp. Is this the same in Belize? Or are there special districts/ cayes or common places where I shpuld be aware of it, because there are so many of them?
Thanks for any input and warm regards to all of you,

The Obama administration posted a notice Wednesday of its intention to rebuild the White House bowling alley with “green” materials, but canceled the notice later in the day.
The General Services Administration said in a notice posted online at 11:04 a.m. that it was looking to rebuild the two lanes located in the Eisenhower office building adjacent to the West Wing.
But the notice was abruptly canceled at 4:05 p.m., after the proposed renovations were the subject of several news articles.
In its original post, GSA said the objective “is to replace the current, damaged and out dated lanes, approaches, pin setter platform (or pin deck) and gutters with new and modern products.”
“Specifically for the lanes, approach and pin deck, installing phenolic synthetic (or “green”) material,” GSA said. “Any and all replacement items will meet industry standard specifications, including variance tolerance set forth by the USBC (United States Bowling Congress). Contractor shall ensure proper repairs are made to the sub structure (as needed to meet USBC specifications), if any are found.”
