And with the season comes the “greening” of turf as towns prepare for the many different team sports held on municipal recreation fields. Traditionally “greening up” refers to applications of conventional fertilizers that produce a rapid color change of turf from dull brown to bright green. But is there a “greener” way to manage playing fields? A number of Connecticut municipalities have said “yes.” They are greening their fields with organic techniques, avoiding toxic chemicals like pesticides, and relying on non-petroleum sources of nutrients, like leaf compost. The Connecticut Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) has been providing towns with information and assistance

They are real words spoken by a brave Wounded Hero as he called his wife from his hospital bed at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, an overseas hospital operated by the U.S. Army, after being rushed there with life threatening injuries suffered in the War on Terror. As the mother of a Wounded Hero, let me tell you - hearing from your loved one is like a miracle. When my son Alan was being treated for the life-threatening injuries he sustained while defending our nation and our freedom, the nurses said his vital signs actually improved each time he heard our voices on the phone.

  • The Multiplatform Brand Flows of Heroes
    Selling Across the Spectrum: The Multiplatform Brand Flows of Heroes ERIN GIANNINI, independent scholar ABSTRACT This article examines how the NBC show Heroes and its use of product placement across multiple platforms represented an early response by networks and advertisers to concerns over ad-skipping and alternate viewing platforms by attempting to reconfigure how brand flow operates across multiple platforms. Not only did the series employ ‘second shift aesthetics’ (Caldwell 2003, 135), which represents networks bringing viewer-users back to the programme by ‘further engag[ing] and activat[ing] the text’ (Caldwell 2004, 50), but the products integrated within the text are pulled into the available world of Heroes’ alternative platform’s textual world, particularly Nissan branded cars. As Henry Jenkins writes: ‘Old media are not being displaced. Rather, their framework and structure shifted by the introduction of new technology’ (2006, 3-4). How these products are used within Heroes storylines and its interaction with characters and platform goes beyond simple placement to make the product another character within the show. Further, I examine the way in which Heroes, as a transmedia text, provided many points of entry for viewer-users to interact with it. While an analysis of fan activity is not the focus of this article, it is important to note these possibilities because of the ways in which the promotional apparatus of the network utilized these types of convergences for the series. Yet, in the case of Heroes, this was achieved by suturing new technological abilities of brand extension with an older model of ad- supported television (namely, the single-sponsorship model of early American television), both within the terrestrial television series and across multiple platforms.

    British Art Talks podcast Season 1, Episode 1: Cora Gilroy-Ware and Mary Beard, William Etty and the Classical Body This document is an accessible transcript of the podcast audio. Subscribe and listen: https://audioboom.com/posts/7574701-william-etty-and-the-classical-body Anna Reid: Welcome to the first episode of British Art Talks, a new podcast from The Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art. I'm Anna Reid, Head of Research at The PMC. To start our summer series, we're focusing on an 1837 painting by William Etty called The Sirens and Ulysses. Working in the early 19th century, Etty produced mythological and literary scenes displaying the female body. At the time, the artist insisted that "to the pure of heart, all things are pure," but his unconventional portrayals of the classical nude, both shocked and captivated audiences. I'm joined now by classicist Mary Beard and art historian Cora Gilroy-Ware, author of The Classical Body in Romantic Britain. Welcome to you both. Mary, could you remind us of the story told in this painting? Mary Beard: [chuckles] Yes, it's a very simple classical story. It originates in Homer's Odyssey. Odysseus is on his way home, trying to get back from the Trojan War to his wife, Penelope in Ithaca, and he has all kinds of distractions, let's say, on the way. One of those distractions is the mythical women, half-fish, half-women known as the Sirens. The Sirens have the most beautiful singing voices. They sit on the shore, and they lure hapless sailors to their death.

    1 March 6, 2021 WholeLife Seventh-day Adventist Church, 2800 N Orange Ave Orlando, FL Things to Remember: Fix Your Eyes on Jesus, Hebrews 12:2; 3:1 / 2 Corinthians 4:18by Andy McDonald What gets your attention gets you. Do you believe this? The axiom that what gets your attention gets you. We like to imagine we can give our attention to two things at once. In my years of counseling while there are plenty of outliers, generally women tend to believe the myth of being able to focus their attention at two places or more at once. Men lag behind in their belief of the myth because by in large men, as a group, tend to live in one box at a time. All of life is compartmentalized, mostly subconsciously, into lots of boxes, each with only one thing in them. In contrast women, as a group, tend to have a big bowl. All the issues in a man’s boxes, plus a few extra in most cases, are all dumped into the woman’s bowl, where every item is connected like strands of spaghetti to every other item in the bowl. This connectedness is what creates a woman’s intuition. That web of connectivity allows rapid connections to be made that many men might never even consider. Mom baked cookies earlier in the afternoon. She’s in a back bedroom and she hears the screen door slam and she knows her son has just returned from school. In a split second her mind connects her earlier baking of cookies that are cooling on the kitchen counter, the house still smells of them, the loud screen door closing, assuming it is her son, she figures he’s hungry, and just as he’s reaching for a cookie she hollers, don’t touch the cookies they are for later.
