The Neuroscience and Power of Safe Relationships - Smart Couple 116
https://relationshipschool.com/podcast/the-neuroscience-power-of-safe-relationships-stephen-w-porges-sc-116/
Have you ever wondered why you struggle to learn something new when you are stressed? Do you wonder why you or your partner are so damn sensitive? Well, there's a scientific reason for all of this and in this week's episode, I interview the leading authority on the autonomic nervous system and the man who developed the polyvagal theory, Stephen Porges. He's a real pioneer and someone who cares a lot about you feeling safe, in life, and in your relationships. Stephen Porges is about to give you a big download on why you might not feel safe and what you can do about it. Bottom line? We cover the neuroscience of safe relationships and how to create them.

Harold de Bock’s developments in audience and customer loyalty research influenced multiple industries, media platforms and world regions — from media to customer contact, from broadcast to print, from the United States to Europe.
De Bock came to the United States from The Netherlands in 1971 to earn his Ph.D. in mass communications from Indiana University. During the 1972 presidential campaign, for his dissertation, he conducted one of the first field experiments that showed the impact of election poll results on electoral turnout and voter preference.
Upon returning to The Netherlands in 1974 after graduation, de Bock started work as an audience researcher at The Netherlands Broadcasting System. He later became its research director, responsible for all qualitative and quantitative radio and television research for the country’s many public broadcasters. He initiated the transition from paper diaries to people meters for television audience measurement.
In 1985, de Bock joined the Dutch commercial market research firm Inter/View as its director of media research and consultancy. He directed readership, circulation and advertising research for individual newspapers and magazines, as well as the country’s annual joint-industry print media research survey.
For Time magazine, de Bock developed the pan-European Media and Marketing Survey targeting Europe’s top 15 percent affluent audiences for international print and broadcast media. Thirty years, later, the survey is still the global standard.
Later in his career, de Bock specialized in customer loyalty research. He made Inter/View a major partner in the Indianapolis-based Walker Information Worldwide research network, on behalf of which he conducted large-scale, international customer loyalty research projects for multinational corporations around the world.
De Bock took his expertise to Hepworth Consultancy in 1997, working as research and consultancy director and establishing a research unit on customer loyalty and employee motivation. He pioneered techniques we now refer to as “data mining” and “big data” analysis.
The new unit was so successful that in 2000 it was acquired by MarketResponse, one of the largest market research companies in The Netherlands. MarketResponse made de Bock its research and consultancy director. His unit became the company’s largest and most profitable research entity.
De Bock was a leader in an industry-wide effort to improve communication quality of customer contact centers as key to customer loyalty in The Netherlands. He was a founder of the annual National Contact Center Benchmark Survey, which developed into the country’s Top 30 Contact Center program that exists today. He was the first and longest-serving chairman of the jury for the country’s National Contact Center Awards competition, known as the “Oscars” of customer contact. Upon retirement, he received the highest personal performance award at this ceremony. He also developed the Dutch quality standards for customer contact center certification.
For the last 10 years, de Bock has made trips to the U.S. to take long-distance “anthropological” solo rides across the country on his semi-antique Yamaha motorcycle. He also edits and writes for the Dutch Motorcycle Riders Action Group’s full-color magazine. He has covered more than 20,000 miles through more than 25 states, following the original itineraries of America’s first historical continental highways, including Route 66, the Dixie Highway, the Lincoln Highway, the Yellowstone Trail and the Great River Road. He blogs about his environmental observations and personal encounters while on the road.
Gary Donatelli is an Emmy award-winning television and film producer/director, best known for the 18 years he spent directing network dramas.
Donatelli attended Indiana University on a combined football and wrestling scholarship. He graduated in 1974 with a degree in radio and television and turned his experiences in the classroom and on the field into a career as a camera operator for ABC’s Wide World of Sports. Donatelli filmed events ranging from the Olympics, to the Kentucky Derby and the Indianapolis 500, to the World Series and Monday Night Football, winning four Emmys for his camerawork. He also authored The ABC Monday Night Football Cookbook & Restaurant Guide.
While working for ABC, he started his own company, Hav Cam Inc. The company produced corporate and music videos, working with artists such as James Brown, Miles Davis and Neil Young along with bands including Boston, Spyro Gyra, and KC and the Sunshine Band.
Donatelli’s tenure at ABC also led him to major news events. He recorded presidential inaugurations and NASA space shuttle launches, and he filmed for ABC Eyewitness News. Over the years, Donatelli climbed the ranks at ABC, moving from cameraman to technical director and then, in 1993, director.
That year, he entered the world of daytime dramas, directing the series Loving. He moved to NBC to direct Another World for four years before returning to ABC to direct One Life to Live from 1998-2011. During those 13 years, the directing team won four Emmys and garnered seven nominations for “Best Directing Team in Daytime Drama.” Combined with guest slots at The Bold and The Beautiful and General Hospital, his career totals more than 1,000 episodes of daytime drama.
For more than a decade, Donatelli also directed the annual Variety Children’s Telethon, a five-hour live entertainment broadcast with “Cousin Brucie” Morrow that raised more than $20 million a year for children’s charities.
He began documentary work in 2001, producing and directing the series Lean on Me, a post-9/11 documentary series for the Fire Department of New York’s Counseling Services Unit. Now, he’s producing and directing Clearing Larry Floyd, a documentary about a Mississippi man who was brutally beaten by corrections officers during an escape attempt after having served time for what he maintains was a racially charged wrongful murder conviction.
Most recently, Donatelli returned to his football roots and produced the film 23 Blast, the true story of a blind high school football player. The film is available on Netflix and won the Audience Choice Award at Indiana’s Heartland Film Festival.
As a member of the Fort Lee Film Commission in New Jersey, he lobbied for years to encourage the Directors Guild of America to honor Alice Guy-Blaché, the world’s first female director. In 2011, the guild posthumously awarded Blaché its Special Directorial Achievement Award. The Fort Lee Film Commission presented Donatelli with its Barrymore Award for his efforts and success in this cause.
Donatelli has taught as an adjunct professor at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and has served as second vice president of the Directors Guild of America.

Bryan Moss’ photojournalism career took him to 13 newspapers in nine states and led to two staff Pulitzer Prizes during four decades.
Raised in Corydon, Indiana, Moss studied journalism and science writing at Indiana University and was a member of the Indiana Daily Student newspaper. He met his wife, Mary Jo (Davis), BA’73, in the darkroom at Ernie Pyle Hall.
Moss graduated from IU in 1966. He and Mary Jo both became photojournalists, which made it difficult for the couple to stay in one place for long. Most newspapers at the time had rules prohibiting married couples from working together. Throughout their careers, they took turns freelancing and working full-time at newspapers.
After college, Moss worked as staff photographer at The Paper in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, the Sunday Courier & Press in Evansville, The Herald-Telephone in Bloomington and the Evening News in Buffalo, New York.
He became staff photographer and later night picture editor at the Courier-Journal and Times in Louisville. There, he was one of eight staff photographers, including Melissa Farlow, BA’74, who contributed to the paper’s Pulitzer Prize-winning photographic coverage of a controversial court-mandated public school busing program intended to achieve integration.
Farlow, a 2012 IU School of Journalism Distinguished Alumni Award honoree, said of Moss, “When I came to the Louisville newspapers, Bryan was already on the staff — a fabulous staff, as good as you can get, and I would say Bryan Moss was a lot of the reason. He had the highest ethical standards and a good work ethic. He’s a soft-spoken, gentle person, but determined, a force in creating a creative climate.”
Moss worked next as director of photography for the Tallahassee Democrat before a brief career move into computer programming.
He returned to photojournalism as director of photography at the Rocky Mountain News, then moved to the Los Angeles Times, the San Francisco Chronicle and the San Jose Mercury News. At The Mercury News, Moss oversaw the remodeling of the darkroom to allow for color printing and set up the paper’s first electronic picture desk operation.
Moss contributed to his second Pulitzer Prize at The Mercury News as director of photography. The paper won for its coverage of the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake that struck California’s Bay area.
He returned to the San Francisco Chronicle as photography coach for a year before moving back to Indiana. He and Mary Jo founded the White Cloud Workshop, the first one-on-one, non-shooting workshop for photojournalists.
When the Evansville Courier & Press approached Moss about becoming director of photography, he proposed that he and Mary Jo share the job. The paper’s management agreed. Finally, their shared passion for photojournalism helped their careers, rather than creating roadblocks.
Moss went on to work at the St. Louis Post Dispatch and The Cincinnati Post before creating The Kentucky Post online, a new concept for newspaper websites that focused on rich storytelling of prep sports.
Moss has been named Indiana Photographer of the year twice. He is author of the book PHOTOSYNTHESIS — A Simple Guide to the Magic of Photography.
He now runs a website called Life in Corydon, a site that tells the story of the community of his hometown of Corydon through photography. It highlights photographs of ordinary people doing ordinary things, a philosophy of photojournalism he has espoused over his 50-year career.
Immediately after graduating from Indiana University, Sandra Eisert began making history.
Eisert earned her degree in journalism in 1973 and took a job at the nationally ranked Courier-Journal and Louisville Times, becoming the first woman newspaper picture editor.
In 1974 she became the first-ever White House picture editor during the Gerald Ford administration. As Ford’s picture editor, Eisert sought to create a strong visual documentation and to restore a sense of trust in the presidency lost during the Richard Nixon administration. She helped facilitate unprecedented press access to Ford, making possible a fully balanced view of the unelected president. Eisert would later return to the White House and is the only editor to have served on staff as picture editor for three U.S. presidents: Ford, George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
After the Ford presidency, Eisert became the first female picture editor of The Washington Post, where she pushed the paper to send photographers to cover national stories for the first time. Her team covered stories like a devastating drought in the Midwest, the Jonestown massacre and the rise of the U.S. Hispanic population.
She moved West to work at the San Jose Mercury News as the newspaper’s first senior graphics editor. After a few years, she became its first design editor and established the paper’s first design desk. She helped build a strong picture editing team, which won the National Press Photographers Association Angus McDougall Overall Excellence in Editing Award for photography. She also contributed to six Mercury News NPPA Overall Best Use of Pictures team awards.
Eisert played a key role in the Mercury News’ 1990 staff Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the Loma Prieta earthquake and its aftermath, designing and directing on deadline a special section about the earthquake. The section also won six other international design and editing awards.
She also served as art director of the newspaper’s award-winning Sunday magazine, WEST. While in Silicon Valley, she became interested in finding new ways to serve the reader using digital opportunities.
She left WEST to work for Microsoft as the first journalist and one of the original four senior editors who created MSNBC.com, the first real site for news on the Internet. As senior editor and director of graphics for the mainstream news site, she also created the site’s revolutionary design. The design made possible use of a content management system, allowing editors to respond to news instantly and create diverse special projects on the fly.
Eisert served on the Accrediting Council on Education in Journalism and Mass Communication for 20 years, visiting universities to evaluate quality in education. She was the first woman on the accreditation council and co-authored its diversity standard, which has become one of the critical components of accreditation.
Eisert is a recipient of the Joseph Costa Award, an award named for the NPPA founder that goes to a person who exhibits outstanding initiative, leadership and service in advancing the goals of the NPPA. She was the first woman to win the award, 39 years after its inception.
Now, as an entrepreneur, Eisert serves as a startup CEO. She has taught at three universities, and she has served as a media consultant in roles including establishing the Department of Defense’s Public Web Program and contributing to the editing, design or strategy of 90 books, with more than 9 million copies in circulation.
Video bio of Joe McConnell, inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2017;
There are few major sporting events that Goodland, Indiana, native Joe McConnell didn’t cover in his 40-year career. Not only did he call three Super Bowls, the NBA Championship series, the NBA All-Star Game and the American League Championship Series, but he was the voice of multiple professional and college teams that include the Indianapolis Colts, Indiana Pacers and college athletics at Indiana State University, the University of Notre Dame and Purdue University. A graduate of Franklin College, McConnell was five-time winner of the AP/UPI Sportscaster of the Year and was named Sportscaster of the Year in both Indiana (2000) and Illinois (1981). Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels named McConnell a “Sagamore of the Wabash” upon his retirement from Purdue in 2009. McConnell died April 8, 2018, at 79 years old.

Video bio of Steve Starnes, inducted to Indiana Broadcast Pioneers Hall of Fame in 2017;
For more than 30 years, Steve Starnes worked as a photographer for WTHR-TV in Indianapolis. One of his crowning achievements came in 1982 when he worked on a documentary about the Ku Klux Klan in Indiana. The program earned a myriad of national and international awards, including a national Emmy award. Starnes’s career behind the cameras took him all over the world, traveling from Afghanistan and Albania to Africa, before he retired in 2009.

Since the presidency of Franklin Roosevelt, the first 100 days of an administration has been used as a measuring stick to estimate the ability of a new president to govern. This is still true today. The first 100 days of the Trump administration invoked strong sentiment both for and against his policies. However, was the sentiment generally positive or negative or neutral? Using different sentiment analysis algorithms and Trump’s favorite social media platform, Twitter, we scraped over 181,000 English language tweets between January 20th, 2017 and April 29th, 2017 to get an idea of Twitter user sentiment regarding the new Commander-in-Chief during his first 100 days.
While our results reveal an interesting snapshot of the heightened emotions of the first 100 days of this presidency, they also raised some concerns regarding the bias inherent in the sentiment analysis process. More specifically, in the different dictionaries used to determine which words are “positive” and which words are “negative" issues of bias regarding race, gender, sexuality, and religion emerge. Therefore, it's important to "look underneath the hood," even when using a vetted dictionary, to examine the assumptions made, tweak the dictionary, and make transparent any assumptions left in the lexicon. We have parsed a further 16K tweets from the weekend of the Charlottesville protests to show what happens both before and after dictionary is tailored to an event focused on issues that are source of bias.
An exciting development for audio and video repositories is the emerging IIIF standard for time-based media.

For 30 years, Kathleen Johnston’s investigative reporting has exposed corruption and waste, and effected change in government and business practices. She finds investigative angles in chaotic situations, providing in-depth reports from major national breaking news stories, including 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, the Boston Marathon and the Virginia Tech shooting. She is also a trusted news source on national security issues.
After graduating from IU with a degree in journalism and political science in 1982, Johnston spent two and a half years at the Birmingham Post-Herald in Alabama, before returning to Indiana to work as a reporter at The Indianapolis News.
At the News, she exposed the City-County council’s use of secret caucus meetings to decide issues ahead of its public sessions. The News sued for access to those meetings and won. The case changed Indiana’s open records laws, and the reporting team won the Scripps Howard Foundation’s Service to the First Amendment Award.
She also specialized in politics and sports finance, serving as lead reporter covering major stadium developments for the Indiana Pacers and the Indianapolis Colts and as lead reporter for the 1987 Pan American Games in Indianapolis. She traveled to Cuba to write about logistical issues involving Cuban athletes.
After 12 years, Johnston moved into broadcast, taking a job as investigative producer at WTHR-TV in Indianapolis. During her five years at WTHR, she co-managed a five-member team that won more than 40 national, state and local awards, including the station’s first DuPont-Columbia Silver Baton for its coverage of mismanagement of the fortune of Lilly pharmaceutical heiress Ruth Lilly.
At WTHR, Johnston also uncovered a local trend of drunk driving case dismissals due to police officers’ failure to appear in court to testify, a story that won honors from Investigative Reporters and Editors. She also traveled to New York to cover 9/11.
Johnston joined CNN in 2004. As a senior investigative producer, she won numerous national and regional awards, including Emmys, Peabodys and Murrow awards.
At CNN, she broke the news that medical workers may have euthanized patients at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. She uncovered Medicare fraud in the medical devices business and wasted tax dollars along the Canadian border, resulting in the cancellation of a $32 million Department of Homeland Security contract. She conducted an exclusive interview with the trooper in the Sarah Palin “Trooper gate” scandal, and she reported on Congress’ refusal to disclose its spending earmarks. After her team’s year-long coverage, Congress began publishing its earmarks. Her team won the National Press Foundation’s Everett McKinley Dirksen Award and a national Emmy for its coverage.
A series of stories by Johnston’s team on ordinary citizens who had been added to the Transportation Security Administration’s watch list resulted in Congressional hearings and reformed watch list practices.
She produced several documentaries, including the acclaimed Footnotes of 9/11, which was released for the event’s 10-year anniversary. Other documentaries uncovered the unsafe infrastructure of cruise ships and the dangerous world of professional wrestling.
In 2015, Johnston became the sole investigative producer at CBS News in Washington. Her role included a special emphasis on homeland security issues, including the Paris and San Bernadino attacks.
She left CBS News in 2016. She now lives in Indianapolis again and freelances.
In episode 47, we're joined by neoconservative political analyst and commentator William Kristol, founder and editor-at-large of The Weekly Standard. Kristol is visited the IU Bloomington campus as part of The Toqueville Program to speak about the state of contemporary politics and the chances of a new political center at the university.
From installations overlaid on the world around us to reprints of otherwise inaccessible archaeological finds that we can handle at will, digital objects help us interact with and understand the world differently. This workshop will walk through a wide variety of digital-making methods, from the 3D scanning of real world objects to laser cut mixed-media structures, and offer a clear view of the analog skills that underpin these digital approaches. We'll use your research question or object as the entry point to make sense of the world of digital making and rendering, and we’ll also send you home with an activity that will help you bring digital making into your classroom.
This presentation was part of a series of workshops offered by the Institute for Digital Arts and Humanities called Choosing a Digital Method.
Aurelian Craiutu is a champion of moderation in an era of extreme politics. The political scientist argues that moderation is a virtue for all seasons, but that it's urgently needed in times of polarization. In episode 44, Craiutu discusses his new book, "Faces of Moderation: The Art of Balance in an Age of Extremes," which pushes back against the idea that moderation is a weak virtue or a philosophy for people who lack conviction.

Eduard Pernkopf’s Atlas of Topographical and Applied Human Anatomy is a four-volume anatomical atlas published between 1937 and 1963, and it is generally believed to be the most comprehensive, detailed, and accurate anatomy textbook ever created. However, a 1997 investigation into “Pernkopf’s Atlas,” raised troubling questions regarding the author’s connection to the Nazi regime and the still unresolved issue of whether its illustrations relied on Jewish or other political prisoners, including those executed in Nazi concentration camps. Following this investigation, the book was removed from both anatomy classrooms and library bookshelves. A debate has ensued over the book’s continued use, and justification for its use has focused on two issues: (1) there is no definitive proof the book includes illustrations of concentration camp prisoners or Jewish individuals in particular, and (2) there is no contemporary equivalent to this text. However, both points fail to address the central importance of the book, not simply as part of anatomy instruction, but also as a comprehensive historical narrative with important ethical implications.
