Worksheet​ ​For​ ​Russell​ ​Brand​ ​|​ ​Freedom​ ​From​ ​Our​ ​Addictions​ ​(Episode​ ​ Worksheet for Russell Brand | Freedom from Our Addictions (Episode 659) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ As Russell Brand noted in this episode, the idea of a 12-step program is more than 100 years ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ old, and the principles used in that program can be used to deal with any inordinate attachment. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Far from it being a last option right before (or right after) hitting rock bottom, it’s something that ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ can be engaged in proactively, far before a crisis. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ We have to realize that what makes us feel good doesn’t have to come from something external ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ -- be it food, or drugs, or sex, or even a job or a person. The answers lie within ourselves. Our ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ consumer-driven society doesn’t really preach that gospel, as it constantly asks us to look ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ outside ourselves. What’s worse is that if our addiction involves other people, we are playing a ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ role in their own destructive behavior, as well. They, too, are human beings trying to address ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ insecurities and problems within themselves. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Jordan notes in the episode that it is perhaps much more obvious to admit to addiction to ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ something like cocaine than social media -- which may seem innocuous, but is really quite ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ insidious. In the spirit of “not waiting for a crisis,” let’s ask some of the questions Russell asked ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ himself to get on the road to recovery and a much better life. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ What are all of the harmful behaviors that I currently engage in? Russell said that you have ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to be completely honest and admit to all of them. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Am I willing to change my life, to live in a new way, so as not to engage in these ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ behaviors? If you can’t answer “Yes” right away, keep filling out the questions and come back ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ to this. If you mark “No” right away, there’s no point in filling out the rest of the questions. You’re ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ not ready yet, and that’s okay, but at least you have identified the issues keeping you ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ discontented. Do I have at least one person who is willing to serve as an accountability partner, ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ someone I can call day or night to help me when I am struggling? Write down the name of ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ every person you can. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Am I prepared to apologize, unconditionally, to all those who I have hurt? Russell notes ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ that this has to come from a place of compassion -- not a “well he/she did this to me too/first” but ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ rather, “I take full responsibility for my actions, regardless.” ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Russell wrote his book 15 years after getting clean, and he references the Egyptian Sun God ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ra, as well as the myths of Sisyphus and Prometheus, to remind us that life is an ongoing ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ struggle. He doesn’t see himself as a guru, but as just another recovering addict who doesn’t ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ have the answers, but is definitely on a path. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Russell says: “You can act yourself into thinking differently but you can’t think yourself into ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ acting differently.” What do you think he means by this and how can you apply it regarding ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ some of the issues you’ve identified above? ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Extra credit: Russell notes that what gets his attention is any time he sees a practice or trend in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ our modern times that has been spoken about for centuries or even millennia, across cultures ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and religions. Are there any trends or ideas in the modern zeitgeist that seem really new ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ and radical but are simply new ways of expressing tried-and-true concepts? We’ll give you ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ one to get started: think about the Minimalist movement and Jordan’s interview with Joshua ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fields Millburn. ​ ​ ​ .

Well Polis has got the full, expletive-riddled story from a senior BBC figure. Caroline Thomson is the BBC’s Chief Operating Officer, second only in importance at the corporation to her namesake, Mark. In a speech to Polis she gave a lengthy and carolinethomson.jpg candid narrative of the whole Brand/Ross prank phone call saga. In it she makes a staunch defence of the BBC’s actions and calls on the corporation to continue taking risk. But she recognised in her speech, and the subsequent exchange we had, that it does raise a wider question: Is the BBC too keen to do too much instead of focusing on what it does best. Here is her speech which I think is well worth reading in full – it will also go up on the main Polis website. The BBC: The Challenge to Appeal to All Audiences Caroline Thomson, Chief Operating Officer, BBC POLIS Media Leadership Dialogues London School of Economics, Tuesday 4 November What a week – when I agreed to do this talk I thought I would focus on transforming the BBC – getting it to be a networked organisation, representing the whole of the UK with London as its hub, not its dominant force, with our plans for our new base in the Manchester region as the central theme.

  • Lindsay Lohan Served Soda Instead of Alcohol
    lifestyle SUNDAY, APRIL 27, 2014 GOSSIP he ‘Dark Horse’ hitmaker, who split from John Mayer T in February after dating off-and-on for two years, admits she loves scrolling for potential suitors on the mobile dating app, which connects you to people if you both swipe right to indicate you find each other attractive. Asked if she is still single, the 29-year-old beauty told Power 105.1’s ‘The Breakfast Club’: “Uh, yes I am, hello.” But she added: “I’m really deep on Tinder so I don’t have a whole lot of time.” The brunette beauty, who was married to Russell Brand for 14- months until December 2011, dumped singer-songwriter John, 36, because she felt something wasn’t quite right between them is looking for for a while and hasn’t spoken to him since their split. A source told E! News: “(She’s) doing really good. She is in great spirits right now.” The singer was spotted getting cosy with music pro- ducer Diplo at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California earlier this month, but plans to stay single ahead of her upcoming The Prismatic World Tour, which kicks off in Belfast, Northern Ireland on May 7.

  • ARTIST in TRANSIT » 2010 » June
    ARTIST IN TRANSIT » 2010 » June http://artistintransit.blogs.purchase.edu/2010/06/ case for copyright infringement. Sure, I could say with a childish tone that I made mine first, and that I have three public presentations to prove it, dating back as far as April 2009. However, I can picture the counterargument unfolding like an absurdist play. Ironically, Perry’s representatives could actually argue for transformative use, which is one of the conditions allowing the reuse of content in US copyright law. Whereas my piece has an explicitly feminist intent (see my artist statement alongside the detail photo at http://artistintransit.blogspot.com /2009/06/chick-lit-in-kitchen.html), Perry seems to be objectifying women. At least this is the conclusion I come to based on context—in light of her shooting two cans of whipped cream from another bra, and in light of her lounging naked on a cotton candy cloud. We may be polar opposites in this regard, but we’re more alike than it may seem on the surface. In a behind-the-scenes clip of the filming of California Gurls, Perry refers to her breasts as her assets. When I stepped out of the Green Room in a wearable art show last month in Boston, provoking bold and instantaneous responses with my own cupcake bra, I was well aware of the implications of selling sex. Am I envious that Perry’s video is all the rage and that the cupcake bra has been called genius (Trendhunter Magazine) while my piece, which took a week of non-stop sewing to make, lies on the fringes of art world obscurity? Not really.

  • The Female Brain
    THE FEMALE BRAIN A film by Whitney Cummings Starring Whitney Cummings, Toby Kebbell, Beanie Feldstein, Cecily Strong, Sofia Vergara, Deon Cole, Blake Griffin, Lucy Punch and James Marsden 2017 Los Angeles Film Festival World Premiere Saturday, June 17th at 5:45PM | Arclight Culver City Theatre 2 – World Premiere Sunday, June 18th at 10:00 AM | Culver Theatre 8 – Press & Industry Screening Running Time: 98 minutes Press Contact: The DDA Group [email protected] [email protected] SYNOPSIS A romantic ensemble comedy about modern day relationships, The Female Brain provides insight into the complexities of the male vs female brain at varying stages of love: whether it’s finding the right romantic balance; parenting; expressing emotion; or simply admitting shortcomings when a bathroom remodel goes awry. In the end, detached researcher Dr. Brizendine has to admit that her study of the brain might have a bias that she did not initially consider. DIRECTOR WHITNEY CUMMINGS Q&A with Writer/Director Whitney Cummings Tell us about the concept and story behind The Female Brain. How did the idea/project come to you? I read the book and was enthralled by all the science of it. I was fascinated by all the things I learned about not only female brains, but the brain in general. We all have this incredibly powerful machine in our skulls making lots of decisions without us, and we know next to nothing about it! I was shocked that they don’t teach us about our brains in school. I became obsessed with how our primordial, reptilian brains sabotage our modern relationships.

  • Dubbing Animation Into Spanish: Behind the Voices of Animated Characters Sofía Sánchez Mompeán, Universidad De Murcia
    The Journal of Specialised Translation Issue 23 – January 2015 Dubbing animation into Spanish: behind the voices of animated characters Sofía Sánchez Mompeán, Universidad de Murcia ABSTRACT In response to the burgeoning growth that the animation market has witnessed in recent years and to the competitive rivalry that exists within the industry, the presence of celebrity voices in animated movies is increasingly regarded as an effective strategy to broaden audience appeal. This paper attempts to determine if the use of celebrities in the original version may somehow influence the way the target text is dubbed in foreign markets. A clean-cut distinction between two key concepts that are sometimes overlapped, voice acting and dubbing, will not only provide the perfect backdrop for the upcoming sections, but will also offer useful context to understand their theoretical and practical limitations. The data under study will illustrate the current panorama within the Spanish dubbing framework by comparing the presence of both celebrities and dubbing actors in those Hollywood blockbusters released in Spain from 2007 to 2013. The results obtained suggest that some of the strategies used in the dubbed version might indeed be prompted by the original voicing. KEYWORDS Dubbing, voice acting, animated films, celebrities, dubbing actors, voice actors. 1. Introduction Animation is in vogue. The exponential growth that this genre has experienced over the last decade has even led to talk about a period of “animation congestion” (Verrier 2013). In the US, one of the leading countries in animation production, the total amount of movies produced per year since the turn of the new century has doubled from 18 films in 2000 to 37 in 2013, reaching its peak in 2011 with 45 productions, as shown in Figure 1.
