Florida Keys Special 2019 | Art Loft 713 Full Episode
FLORIDA KEYS - Art Loft takes a dive into the Florida Keys - and this time, quite literally!
First up, photographer Stephen Frink is the conduit for those who can't travel underwater. But do the same rules of photography apply on the ocean floor?
Then we travel to Islamorada where a conceptual cartoonist evokes emotions we've always had, but may not have ever been able to articulate.
In Marathon, a water sports park has a message about the human impacts on the environment - and they are using street art to illustrate it.
As we move into the Lower Keys, a stained and fused glass artist in Stock Island is using an intricate hand painted technique that is not often used.
And finally, we hit Key West where we meet author and historian Arlo Haskell. Did you know cigar manufacturing was actually pioneered by the Jewish community in Key West and not the Cuban community? We discover this and more in his latest book.

Geographic Information Science (GIS) Day 2019

Formally started in 1999, GIS Day aims to provide a forum to promote the benefits of GIS research, demonstrate real-world applications of GIS and foster open idea sharing and growth in the GIS community.
The Library’s morning session will open with a keynote address by Sen. John Boozman of Arkansas, co-chair of the Congressional French Caucus focusing on Cultural Heritage Preservation Mapping and Congressional Policy. The morning also will feature talks on the aftermath of the Notre Dame Cathedral fire and the use of GIS and computer vision in disaster response planning and cultural heritage preservation.

The film then takes the viewer on a series of adventures into wild Florida, beginning with Peter Matthiessen and his encounter with a rare whooping crane chick in central Florida. From his south Florida home, author Carl Hiaasen comments on the use of humor and sarcasm in his Florida fiction and editorials. Through words and family photos, author Janisse Ray introduces the viewer to her family homestead in the land of the longleaf pine. The exploration continues with photographers Jeff Ripple and Clyde Butcher as they slog into the Fakahatchee Strand in search of the rare ghost orchid. Along the way, these artists introduce us to the fascinating natural history of these rare natural treasures and speak movingly of the need to preserve what remains of the wild heart of Florida.
Released in 2002, a segment of this film also won a Suncoast Regional Emmy Award

About Ty & Charlene Bollinger
---------------------------------------
Ty & Charlene Bollinger are devoted Christians, health freedom advocates, health researchers, documentary film producers, and best-selling authors.
After losing several family members to conventional cancer treatments, they set out to learn the truth about cancer and the cancer industry, working together tirelessly to help others to learn the truth that sets them free to live healthy, happy lives.

On their journey, they interviewed cutting-edge scientists, leading alternative doctors, and groundbreaking researchers to learn about hidden alternative cancer treatments.

Ty & Charlene speak frequently at seminars, expos, conferences, and churches. Together, they host a bi-weekly internet news program: TTAC Global Health News:

Mayra Santos-Febres: The Fractal Caribbean
The Fractal Caribbean
New Literatures of Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic
Thursday, September 12, 2019
5:30 PM - 7:00 PM
Library and Gallery, Albin O. Kuhn
Mayra Santos-Febres, Professor of Creative Writing, University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras
This talk explores the efforts of contemporary Hispanic Caribbean writers to represent a reality that thinkers such as Édouard Glissant have often described as significantly chaotic or fractal. How does the idea of the fractal Caribbean offer writers such as Pedro Cabiya Rita Indiana, Soleida Ríos, and others, a new way to understand rationality or selfhood? How might it help build a new, non-binary model of knowledge and social relations?
A reception and book signing will follow the program.
Bio: Puerto Rican writer Mayra Santos-Febres is the author of some twenty books of poetry, fiction, and literary criticism, including the novels Sirena Selena, which was a finalist for the Rómulo Gallegos International Novel Prize, Our Lady of the Night, Any Wednesday I’m Yours, and, most recently, La amante de Gardel. A Guggenheim fellow, she is the recipient of the Juan Rulfo Short Story Prize and Puerto Rico’s National Literature Prize. Currently, Santos-Febres is a professor at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras, where she directs the creative writing workshop and the Festival of the Word. In July, she worked as a writer-in-residence at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Center Residency Program in Italy.
Sponsored by the Latino and Hispanic Faculty Association and the Dresher Center for the Humanities.

Heritage Village Speaking of History Lecture Series. Talk About Highway A1A
As part of the Speaking of History lecture series, writer Cathy Salustri relives the experience of taking the ultimate Florida road trip, following the paths followed by Stetson Kennedy and Zora Neale Hurston more than seven decades ago. Despite writers’ obstacles, the book that resulted from their efforts, Florida: A Guide to the Southernmost State, captured a slice of life along Florida’s roadways just before America’s entry into the Second World War would forever transform the peninsula. More than 70 years later, Salustri traveled nearly 5,000 miles throughout Florida in a camper van to witness how the landscape had changed since the original journey.
The lecture was presented on March 15, 2015 in the Pinellas Room at Heritage Village. Heritage Village is located at 11909 125th St. N. in Largo. This living history museum brings more than 150 years of local history to life. Tour 29 authentic buildings and structures and experience historical Pinellas County through hands-on exploration. Heritage Village has Wi-Fi availability. It is open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sunday, 1 to 4 p.m. It is closed all Pinellas County holidays. For more information call (727) 582-2123.

Dr. Michael Greger: How Not To Die | Talks at Google
Dr. Greger visited Google NYC to discuss his new book - How Not to Die.
The vast majority of premature deaths can be prevented through simple changes in diet and lifestyle. In How Not to Die, Dr. Michael Greger, the internationally-recognized lecturer, physician, and founder of NutritionFacts.org, examines the fifteen top causes of death in America—heart disease, various cancers, diabetes, Parkinson’s, high blood pressure, and more—and explains how nutritional and lifestyle interventions can sometimes trump prescription pills and other pharmaceutical and surgical approaches, freeing us to live healthier lives.
The simple truth is that most doctors are good at treating acute illnesses but bad at preventing chronic disease. The 15 leading causes of death claim the lives of 1.6 million Americans annually. This doesn’t have to be the case. By following Dr. Greger’s advice, all of it backed up by peer-reviewed scientific evidence, you will learn which foods to eat and which lifestyle changes to make to live longer.
History of prostate cancer in your family? Put down that glass of milk and add flaxseed to your diet. Have high blood pressure? Hibiscus tea can work better than a leading hypertensive drug—and without the side effects. What about liver disease? Drinking coffee can reduce liver inflammation. Battling breast cancer? Consuming soy is associated with prolonged survival. Worried about heart disease (our #1 killer)? Switch to a whole-food, plant-based diet, which has been repeatedly shown not just to help prevent the disease, but arrest and even reverse it.
In addition to showing what to eat to help prevent the top 15 causes of death, How Not to Die includes Dr. Greger’s Daily Dozen—a checklist of the foods we should try to consume every day. Full of practical, actionable advice and surprising, cutting edge nutritional science, these doctor’s orders are just what we need to live longer, healthier lives.

How to raise successful kids -- without over-parenting | Julie Lythcott-Haims
By loading kids with high expectations and micromanaging their lives at every turn, parents aren't actually helping. At least, that's how Julie Lythcott-Haims sees it. With passion and wry humor, the former Dean of Freshmen at Stanford makes the case for parents to stop defining their children's success via grades and test scores. Instead, she says, they should focus on providing the oldest idea of all: unconditional love.
