The Heard v. Depp Trial – An Opportunity To Discuss The Nuances Of Intimate Partner Violence Not Just A Media Spectacle

Strip away the celebrity intrigue and media frenzy, and the high-profile court battle between actors Johnny Depp and Amber Heard involves issues painfully familiar to many women and men across America. The civil defamation case, which ended on June 1, 2022 with a jury ruling largely in favor of Depp, centered around discussion of intimate partner violence. IPV is experienced by an estimated 6.6 million women and 5.8 million men each year in the U.S. Depp filed the libel lawsuit against Heard after she wrote an op-ed in The Washington Post describing her experience as a “public figure representing domestic violence.” A jury found that Heard had defamed Depp and awarded the American actor in excess of US$10 million in damages. Meanwhile Heard was awarded $2 million in a counterclaim after ...

Do You Take Your Horoscopes Very Seriously?

Horoscopes: True or False. The oldest lines that are true for everyone are: You will meet someone from your past. Everyone you meet is from your past! Even back to five minutes ago, those people are in the past. Another one is that you will be successful. Positive thinking is proven to be extremely influential, and if you believe that you will succeed, you will. A daily reading is not necessary for success. The real dangers are when your horoscopes are negative. You don't have to accept any negative forecast over your life. You have more control over some things that you might think you do. Don't rely on your horoscope to tell you about your love life, financial situation or success. There is danger in allowing someone else to influence your decision making in the area of romance. You cou...

Top Gun: Maverick’s Age Shouldn’t Stop Him As A Test And Fighter Pilot, But His Lifestyle Might

When Rolls Royce Test Pilot Phil O’Dell (POD to his friends and colleagues) broke the world electric flight airspeed record last year, nobody remarked upon his being in his late 50s. At 51, no one challenged me about my age when I recently made the first flight of the British all-electric Sherwood eKub prototype as a test pilot. And yet, in the new Top Gun film (Top Gun: Maverick), “Maverick” Pete Mitchell’s age is a key plot point. He’s one of the best pilots the US has ever seen, but he’s 57 years old. His colleagues question whether he is too old to be a test and fighter pilot. The answer is an emphatic no – 57 is not too old. I’ve met many test pilots in their 60s, and fighter pilots in their 50s. Has Maverick got what it takes? It typically costs $5-$10 million (£4-£8 million) to ...

‘No Pretty Nannies’ Why The Debate Matters

Just weeks before announcing her pregnancy, model Chrissy Teigen joked that she wouldn’t want to tempt her husband John Legend by hiring a hot nanny. “No hot nannies, drivers, or maids…It’s an ongoing joke in my house,” she told reporters off-the-cuff during Fashion Week. “I trust John, but you never know with these men.” Even as they acknowledged the joke, celebrity news sources had a field day. People Magazine ran her comments under the semi-serious banner Chrissy Teigen’s Number 1 Rule for Parenting. Billboard, US Weekly and Extra all jumped in. Meanwhile, online commenters took Teigen seriously and either defended her (“I wouldn’t trust my husband with a pretty nanny either!”), argued that she was too gorgeous to worry or made predictions that the Legend-Teigen union wouldn’t last. ...

Given The Challenges Of Supervising Remote Workers – How To Make Performance Reviews Less Terrible

Few office workers seem to like performance reviews, those annual examinations of how well workers are doing their jobs. And many seem to outright hate – or fear – them. A 2015 survey of Fortune 1000 companies found that nearly two-thirds of employees were dissatisfied with performance reviews, didn’t think they were relevant to their jobs – or both. In a separate survey conducted in 2016, a quarter of men and nearly a fifth of women reported crying as a result of a bad review. The figures were even higher for younger workers. And that was during the much simpler pre-pandemic times, when pretty much all professional workers were in the office daily and could be assessed similarly. Things are trickier today, as some employees work entirely from home, others come to the office and still ot...

Mimicking The Accents Of Others In Conversation – Why We Do It

Have you ever caught yourself talking a little bit differently after listening to someone with a distinctive way of speaking? Perhaps you’ll pepper in a couple of y’all’s after spending the weekend with your Texan mother-in-law. Or you might drop a few R’s after binge-watching a British period drama on Netflix. Linguists call this phenomenon “linguistic convergence,” and it’s something you’ve likely done at some point, even if the shifts were so subtle you didn’t notice. People tend to converge toward the language they observe around them, whether it’s copying word choices, mirroring sentence structures or mimicking pronunciations. But as a doctoral student in linguistics, I wanted to know more about how readily this behavior occurs: Would people converge based on evidence as flimsy as...

A Feverish Legion Of Followers Struggle To Achieve Online Fame – Inspired By Kim Kardashian

When Kim Kardashian “broke the Internet” with her nude selfie, it was the stunt by a socialite who's an object of fascination in our celebrity-obsessed culture. While some deride her as being “famous for being famous,” I see someone who works intensely hard at what I’ve termed glamour labor. Glamour labor is a phenomenon of the Internet age. It means investing time and effort into editing the body and self to appear as fascinating and polished in person as in one’s highly scripted, filtered and manipulated online life. It means shaping the body (by going to the gym or the salon), while simultaneously crafting one’s online image – all to appear to have achieved an elusive ideal of attractiveness. Those who epitomize the ideal are rewarded by large followings (Kim Kardashian has more than ...

Child Labor – Some Chocolate Has A Dark Side To It

Chocolate makes for a perfect gift, a comforting snack and even a health food, thanks to its plentiful antioxidants. Rumor has it that it might even work as an aphrodisiac. It is no surprise, then, that the chocolate industry garners billions of dollars each year. However, there is also a dark side to chocolate. As a cultural anthropologist who has done years of research on food and drink in Europe and North America, I have come to understand the close relationship between culinary traditions and social inequality. In a course I teach on the anthropology of food, chocolate is among the numerous food commodities that I cover in the course as an index for understanding social class relations locally and globally, including human trafficking. Exploitative labor, especially child labor, is...

Is Star Trek Technology Here Today?

When I think of Interrogatory Biofeedback, it reminds me of watching Star Trek when a patient would go to Sick Bay and received a shot. What was in that shot? It sounded like air. Was it knowledge; a type of knowledge that reminds the body how to be well? I think that we can go there with this technology that is available today called Interrogatory Feedback or EDS (electro dermal screening). This system is used to evaluate a client at a custom level based on exactly where the body is physically, mentally and emotionally. Sometimes even a lacking spirit is detected as a cause of an imbalance or illness. Interrogatory Biofeedback uses a query machine which is a communication device. It is not a diagnostic machine nor does the Practitioner diagnose. A Practitioner is using the system in won...
