Watching Elias for the first time as a collegiate runner. 5000m in 16:30, still getting used to the track instead of the trail. Kid is fast! @SnowCollege
The boy has signed to run at Snow College, excited for him ! instagram.com/stories/elias_…

So true, single depth is where you lose those members who are buying in or trying to better understand God’s will for them.

Something I have wondered about for years as shows seem different when I am doing something and when I sit down and focus.
This is a clip of Lindsay Lohan in the Netflix film “Irish Wish”. It’s a perfect example for how streaming needs affect film quality.
Netflix knows people are often playing its content in the background while doing chores. So, the film dialogue is overly-explanatory:
▫️Lohan’s character: “We spent a day together, I admit it was a beautiful day filled with dramatic vistas and romantic rain, but that doesn’t give you the right to question my life choices. Tomorrow I’m marrying Paul Kennedy.”
▫️Lohan’s side-piece: “That will be the last you see of me, because after this I’m off to Bolivia.”
According to Will Tavlin, Netflix has 36,000 micro-genres and one category is called “casual viewing” (eg. something people can watch while doing other things and without full focus).
Tavlin writes this type of content was traditionally made as “breezy network sitcoms, reality television, and nature documentaries” and now “describes much of Netflix’s film catalog .”
Netflix execs commonly provide script notes for screenwriters to “have this character announce what they’re doing so that viewers who have this program on in the background can follow along.”
I get the rationale but the approach is the opposite of the classic screenwriting rule to “show, don’t tell”…and becoming the norm.

Measuring my effort against what I know I can do is tough, the internal critic is the harshest and most demanding - but also the most honest. upwardthought.org/media/836

🎶 Moscow Nights.
World-class opera singers singing a Russian folk song "Moscow Nights" - by Anna Netrebko and Dmitri Hvorostovsky.
Dmitri died of brain cancer, while Anna (working in Germany at the time) is cancelled out of existence for being Russian.
Guilty of this very thing in our community as we drive regularly between a tee box and a green on our way home.😂😂 – at Stansbury Park, UT

Tanner has given me so much to consider about creating my own style. He is going to kill this! – at Lublin, Poland
“Is there anyone who coaches like you do, but for women?”
I can’t tell you how often I get asked this question. It’s, by far, the most frequent one I get.
And sadly, I’ve never been able to find someone I could recommend.
Until now…
It’s me. I’m now offering my same style coaching for women.
I’m opening up five spots right now at an extremely discounted rate as my next case study group.
So, if you’re one of the women (or know one) who’s appreciated my more psychological approach to appearance and want to look and feel more beautiful and confident in the six weeks, send me a DM.
Is there anything better than your Bluetooth thermometer gobbling to tell you your turkey is done?

Когда говоришь о «возвращении исторических границ» России, главное — не промахнуться с историческим периодом
My Sasha called me today while manning a checkpoint as part of the Territorial Defense Force. He had an archive question but had to hang up quickly when a vehicle approached. He didn’t want to get shot. I live a sheltered life.
