Admin Post; Tonight I started shaping a "Place" on a mat with Kenji. As soon as I put the mat down he sniffed, I clicked and tossed a treat. When he came back, he walked right onto it, I clicked and tossed the treat. And then grabbed my phone... because I wanted to capture this. He gave me multiple reps of coming to the mat and retrieving the treat within the first few minutes. He had it figured out so fast. I keep these sessions short. Especially with puppies. I lost his focus a bit because he found a stay treat, but we got it back and he offered the behavior of going to the mat. Multiple times. Tomorrow we'll do a couple reputations and I'll add the cue. It's always amazing to work with a puppy like this. The kind that figures things out so fast. Free shaping has the dog figure out what to do by the timing of the click. I only introduced the clicker yesterday for about 4 minutes. In one session he's doing what took 2-3 sessions with pups 6 weeks older. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. He comes from a line of top obedience dogs. He's going to be so much fun to train!! #MensaPuppy #ProdigyPup Video description for inclusivity: Kenji, a young Rottweiler puppy walks onto a mat. He hears a click and stops and then a treat is tossed. The pattern is repeated multiple times with him settling into sits on the mat.show more

Maple has been doing Mat training! That's where she learns the mat is where you go settle. You don't have to lay on it, you can get up and change positions, but you stay on mat until released. (The clicker marks that the task is complete and she can get her treat) It's only her second session but she's caught on well! #PuppyLove Video description for inclusivity: Maple, a lab puppy is going to a grey mat. Once she's on it, she hears a click and a treat it tossed. She goes and gets the treat and returns to the mat.

Maple had her third session of training with the mat today. Day 1 she figured out she needed to be on the mat and after she was consistently going there, we paired the cue "place". Day 2 continued with the cue and getting her to consistently go to the mat with the handler on all sides. Today we sat further away from the mat and gave the cue, from a distance, and had her stay there for slightly longer durations. She does very well. We'll continue to practice longer durations and cueing from different spots. Once she's super consistent staying there (that should only take a couple more sessions) and is a bit better at keeping all 4 paws on, we'll add some distractions and take the mat outside and practice. Eventually this will be the behavior she will be asked for if she needs wait quietly. We use it at appointments, coffee shops, checkouts etc. We're often asked what the difference is between a place and a down stay is. When we use a down stay, it means the dog stays in the down position and doesn't move, whereas place is more about a zone. The dog can sit, stand, turn around or lay down, as long as they stay on the mat and behave. It's often used in long durations for working dogs so it gives them the opportunity to reposition themselves to be comfortable. Later we'll work on eliminating the mat and being able to stay in the immediate vicinity when she's given the cue. #PuppyTraining Video description for inclusivity: Maple, a young lab puppy goes to a mat on the floor and waits for the click sound. As soon as it's given a treat is tossed away from the mat. She goes to it, eats it, and returns to the mat.

🐾❤️It's Moon's final day with us. Tonight he goes back to the Service Dog program where he'll have many other adventures. Today he's working on staying in place while the human leaves him and goes and opens the door. This will help him learn to be calm and not try to go exploring when a door opens, and that when he's in place, he can move around or change positions, but can't leave the mat. He makes mistakes because he's learning, but with a few more repetitions, he'll understand. We didn't teach him a whole bunch of new skills while he was here, but what we've taught him is his marker sounds (clicks, yes and good) and his release word so he understands when he's done the thing he was supposed to, when he should keep doing it, and when he's free to go. This is the foundation that will make learning other skills easy. We've also helped him learn to settle calmly when asked and play when appropriate, and we've introduced him to lots of sites and sounds. He's a delightful pup. We're taking a short break from puppies to get stuff caught up around the house, get some appointments done and other human business. But I'm sure we'll have more puppy chaos in the near future. And I can always visit Moon and the others when we go to teach classes! #PuppyTraining #FutureScholar Video description for inclusivity: Moon, a lab puppy lays on a mat. His trainer reinforces staying on the mat with the word good and a treat, then leaves him to open a door. She returns and rewards him then goes back towards the door. She corrects him with a gentle "no" then asks him to "place" and he returns to the mat. He stays there at she returns to the door, opens the screen door, closes it and returns to him. He's rewarded once more and stays on the mat. She then gives the release word and tosses a cookie for him to chase.

Coppola had to fight to cast Marlon Brando as Vito Corleone in The Godfather. At the time, the studio saw Brando as “box office poison.” What finally sold them was his legendary screen test, where he transformed into the Don right in front of their eyes. Coppola explains: "I remember in one meeting, I was told by the then president of Paramount - "As president of Paramount Pictures, I am telling you that Marlon Brando will not appear in this motion picture." So I continued talking and arguing, and finally, they agreed to let me discuss the idea of Marlon Brando being in the movie if I honored three stipulations. A - he would do a screen test. B - he would do the film for free. (he would get a back-end deal) And C - he would put up a bond so that if any of his shenanigans or any trouble came from him being on the set, that it would guarantee the losses. So I said, - "Okay, I accept” - What could I do? I accepted these three things from Marlon. So I then called up Marlon Brando and suggested, "Maybe it’d be nice if I did like a little makeup test or something? I could come over your house." - he said to me, "All right."… We got to his house very early, and we set up our little lights. And I had brought a bunch of provolone cheese and a little Italian cigars and little props just to kind of put around - sure enough, he wakes up, and he comes out of his bedroom; and he's this great-looking, I don't know, he must have been 47, and in a Japanese robe. He looked very impressive, and I looked at him with this ponytail and I'm like, "God, how's he ever going to play a mafia chieftain?"… And he walked on. He put on a jacket, and he started mumbling - I remember, he went through great effort to bend the tip of his collar - he said, "So, like, there's a time guys always have the collar bent like that." And he picked up a cigar, and he started to gesture with it and use it as a prop, and he nibbled on a little bit of provolone cheese - and he rolled up the ponytail, and he kind of pinned it up, and he took some shoe polish, and he darkened it, and while he's doing this, we're photographing… He took some tissue paper, and he said, "He should have the face of a bulldog."...He stuffed the tissue paper in his jaw, and then he said, "Well, if he's shot in the throat, he ought to have to talk like that a little bit." It really was a transformation of this nice looking young man with a blonde ponytail, into this kind of mafia guy… I took it to New York, and I went to Mr. Bluthorn's office (head of Paramount Pictures), and I said, "Oh, Charlie, Charlie, I want to show you something." - I flick the video, and sure enough, there's Marlon Brando coming out in a robe with a blonde ponytail, and he looks, and he says, "Never! Marlon Brando, never! Never!" And as he's doing that, he's watching Brando turn himself into this guy, and Charlie just looks astounded, and he says, "That's incredible! That's incredible!" And once he was sold on the idea that Marlon could do it on his authority, they allowed us to do it."

Shaq says Michael Jordan is the GOAT because he never lost in the Finals 🐐 "Mike is the greatest of all time because of how he played, how he dominated, and he never lost in the finals. So, I know a lot of people going to see this like you said and 'oh, he doing this and he do that.' I played with Kobe, I know what a killer he was, but to me as a kid and going against him, then being the only guy to beat him in the playoffs for him to retire after three and then come back and get three, yeah, he was a different animal."

🚨 Full Remarks of President Trump on Elon Musk today: "I can't speak more highly about any individual. He's an incredible guy. He's a brilliant guy. He's a wonderful person. I've seen him with his family. I've seen him with a lot of his children. He's got a lot of children. He treats him good. He's He loves His children, but he's a brilliant guy, and he was a tremendous help, both in the campaign and in what he's done with DOGE. And you know what we're talking about, almost $200 million and rising fast, because many of the things that we were looking at are now being found out to be fact. It's terrible. I mean, the fraud, the waste, the abuse, the everything that's happened is just terrible. So I also know that he was treated very unfairly by the I guess he called the public, by some of the public, not by all of it. He makes an incredible car makes everything he does is good, but they took it out on Tesla, and I just thought it was so unfair, because he's trying to help the country, but he has helped the country. I also want him to make sure that he's going to be in great shape, and I know he is. I mean, he's going to be, he's going to do great he loves the country. He didn't need to do this. He did it, and I told him, I said, you know, whenever you're ready, I'd like to keep him for a long time, but whenever you're ready, he's an exceptional that when you see those rockets go up and come back and land in the same gantry, nobody else can do that, but this man. So he's just an incredible person, and he's a friend of mine, and he's a nice person too. He's a very nice person. He really helped the country. Saved us a lot of money. And I heard him say that he'll start easing which is always, he was always, at this time, going to ease out. And when he goes back to Tesla that will be taken care of, it was just, it's artificial. These were sick people that thought they were doing something. He really, he's a great patriot, and he should, really, it should be, it shouldn't be the way that should never have happened to him. And I will tell you right now, he makes a great product. He makes a great product. It's a great car. It's great everything. Starlink is great. What he does is good. He's doing medical things that are amazing. And we have to, at some point, let him go and do that."

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

🗣️ Mikel Arteta on Christos Tzolis: "I'm very pleased with him. First of all, the way he has adapted to the club, to the team. The connection he's already generated with the boys. "I think you're going to love the player. He's a very direct player. He's got the ball between the eyes. I think really good at linking up. He has a lot of similarities with Leo in a lot of the things that he can do and the spaces he can occupy. "And then the work ethic that he has. He's a boy that comes with so much hunger as well and wants to prove it. It's a dream for him and we are here to help him."

Georgio Poullas believes Arman Tsarukyan’s short fuse is the reason he hasn’t got a UFC title shot 👀🏆 "Arman is a stand-up guy. I don’t hate the guy. I was very shocked to see the way he was reacting. This guy's supposed to be the tough guy in the UFC, and he's acting like a baby on the mat. He milked it, he got his points. The ref's probably married to an Armenian by the way he was reffing that match. I almost owe Arman a thank you because if he didn’t punch me at the end of the match, it wouldn’t be as viral as it was. I think he just has a short fuse and he let things get to him. I think he got a history of that, and if you look at the UFC, that’s why he hasn’t got the title shot." (Via creatorsthink)

.Robert F. Kennedy Jr: "I don't feel like I have anything to complain about. We're all given a job to do. Having a difficult life or having these challenges is ultimately a gift. My dad, right before he died, handed me a book by Camus called 'The Plague.' He gave it to me in his bedroom…and he said, "I want you to read this,” with this kind of peculiar intensity. So after he died, I read it several times trying to unlock the reason why he felt so strongly about this book. The book is about a doctor in a quarantined city where there's a plague going through it, and nobody can go in or out. Nobody knows what the plague is and they don't know how to treat it. But they know it's contagious, and if you’re exposed to it, you're highly likely to die. A lot of the book is the doctor having a conversation with himself in his bedroom saying, 'I don't want to leave, because I'm going to die. And yet, I'm a doctor, so I'm supposed to be helping people, but I don't know how to help people. There's no treatment for this. There's nothing I can really do.' And in the end, he goes and ministers to the sick, to the dying, to the discomforted, and he does his job. Camus wrote another book…about the stoic hero, the iconic stoic hero, Sisyphus. Sisyphus was cursed by the gods to be pushing a stone up the hill all the time, a giant boulder. But when he gets to the top of the hill, he can never get it over. He gets it almost there, but it always rolls back on him, and then he has to start again. He has to do that for eternity. It sounds miserable, but in the minds of the stoics, Sisyphus was a happy man because he had a job and he was always striving to go upward. He was putting his shoulder to the stone and he was doing his duty. And that's where happiness and satisfaction and peace comes from. A lot of times the things that we consider penalties or injuries or misfortunes are actually gifts to us, and they are touchstones. Pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth. I feel very happy with my life and peaceful about the choices I've made. And I have compassion for family members who don't agree with me on a lot of issues, and I don't have hard feelings toward anybody. I just know what I have to do, and I do my best to do it."

.Robert F. Kennedy Jr: "I don't feel like I have anything to complain about. We're all given a job to do. Having a difficult life or having these challenges is ultimately a gift. My dad, right before he died, handed me a book by Camus called 'The Plague.' He gave it to me in his bedroom…and he said, "I want you to read this,” with this kind of peculiar intensity. So after he died, I read it several times trying to unlock the reason why he felt so strongly about this book. The book is about a doctor in a quarantined city where there's a plague going through it, and nobody can go in or out. Nobody knows what the plague is and they don't know how to treat it. But they know it's contagious, and if you’re exposed to it, you're highly likely to die. A lot of the book is the doctor having a conversation with himself in his bedroom saying, 'I don't want to leave, because I'm going to die. And yet, I'm a doctor, so I'm supposed to be helping people, but I don't know how to help people. There's no treatment for this. There's nothing I can really do.' And in the end, he goes and ministers to the sick, to the dying, to the discomforted, and he does his job. Camus wrote another book…about the stoic hero, the iconic stoic hero, Sisyphus. Sisyphus was cursed by the gods to be pushing a stone up the hill all the time, a giant boulder. But when he gets to the top of the hill, he can never get it over. He gets it almost there, but it always rolls back on him, and then he has to start again. He has to do that for eternity. It sounds miserable, but in the minds of the stoics, Sisyphus was a happy man because he had a job and he was always striving to go upward. He was putting his shoulder to the stone and he was doing his duty. And that's where happiness and satisfaction and peace comes from. A lot of times the things that we consider penalties or injuries or misfortunes are actually gifts to us, and they are touchstones. Pain is the touchstone of spiritual growth. I feel very happy with my life and peaceful about the choices I've made. And I have compassion for family members who don't agree with me on a lot of issues, and I don't have hard feelings toward anybody. I just know what I have to do, and I do my best to do it."

Sturm on Steeves who has 5 goals in the last 5 games: "I brought him up from the minors and I put him in more like a checking role and a fourth liner, and now look at him. So, good for him and again, he's a guy I trust. We'll see, it's tough to get him out of the lineup, I can tell you that." "He's very professional, even when he didn't like to go down. I remember he said, 'I will be back and I'm going to do everything I can to show you,' and that's what I like. And the way he said it, I believed it."

Suki Waterhouse talks about Robert Pattinson going into director mode while helping her record audition tapes! 😹 "It's always really good when he helps me as well. But sometimes he wants to get really into the cinematography, like move around the house. We did this one self-tape where I'm like, 'No, we just need to be against a background.' And he wanted to do it like I was in the bathroom, on the toilet, and wanted to film— and so started the shot with my pants around my ankles, and then I had to pull them up. He wanted to do this twist into the mirror so you couldn't see me do my pants up [...] No, I had lines, then I had to move, and I had to be in heels and a skirt. He got so into it. It was like, 'This cut, this heels. Okay.' It's insane. [Well, he's a director.] He's a director." (

I think this is probably the first time I've seen an adult show so much concern over a child being a Gundam pilot. At first, I found it funny that he was crying because he couldn't believe he lost to a child, but the more I heard him talk, the more I felt what he meant and understood what he was going through. Üso is supposed to be playing with toys, but he's out here in a war, piloting a killing machine and holding a gun in his hand. He's still new to this, but the more he gets involved in war, the crazier it will get for him. I guess I'm back to the classic Universal Century stuff. I have to prepare myself...

Quentin Tarantino recounts a dinner with Robert De Niro during the making of Jackie Brown, where he asked him whether he understood when he landed the role of Vito in The Godfather Part II, that it would change his life. De Niro’s answer revealed a great deal about his mindset at the time. “I was working with Robert De Niro on Jackie brown, and we went out to dinner once. - When he got Vito in the Godfather Part II, that was going to be a big thing for him. He won the Oscar for it - it set him up to be a movie star. So I asked him - and I've asked this to quite a few actors when it comes to when they got the role that would end up changing their career - did he realize that the moment when he got the role, that it would have this sort of effect? And he goes oh, “I tried not to let it do that. I tried not to think about that” I go, "really? and why did you try not to think about that?" “Well because I’ve seen it happen and then go the other way” And then he used an example. “There was this guy, he was a young actor, and he was part of our crowd in New York. He'd been doing okay, but we were all in the same boat. Then all of a sudden he got a lead role. He's one of the two leads in a brand new movie by a director who had just done a smash hit.” And he's talking about Larry Pierce (the director) and uh... Goodbye Columbus. ”And he started dining out on it. And all of a sudden I go to the places that we used to go to, and now he's there and everyone's kind of revolving around him. He's kind of holding court. He's not doing anything bad; he's just arisen in the way that none of us have - and we're all treating him different. Then the movie comes out; nobody likes it - The movie comes out, and it goes away, and he's exactly in the same place he was. And I just wanted to make sure that that would never happen to me because I watched it happen to him.” Quote from Video Archives Podcast, sourced from James Whale Bake Sale YouTube channel. Clip below from the Godfather Part II (1974)

🐾There wasn't much sleep last night. The little man serenaded us with puppy classics like "I don't want to sleep in the puppy pen", "Where's my. momma and brothers and sisters" and of course "I pooped and stepped in it". So I made a few woofs and bounced around and it seemed to quiet him. 💤 But morning potty time sure came early and now Kenji has a few complaints about the scheduling of breakfast. I sure hope he wants a nap soon! #KenjiTalks #TheKenjiAndChesmyyShow Video description for inclusivity: a tiny Rottweiler puppy bounces around on a couch. Chesnyy lays on the floor nearby. He barks at her.

RFK Jr. was previously asked about how it felt to be condemned by his own family. He told a story about how his father gave him a book just two weeks before he died. RFK said he read the book multiple times, trying to figure out what lesson his dad wanted to give him. Here is what he said: "Camus had written this book called The Plague. My father gave it to me and he told me, with this kind of peculiar intensity, 'I want you to read this'." "He said this with this directness that after he died, I ended up reading that book about three times, trying to figure out kind of what the message was that he was trying to give me." Breakdown of the book: - "The Plague" is set in a North African city hit by an unprecedented plague. - The city is quarantined, and the story begins with a focus on the doctor's internal conflict. - The doctor initially considers not helping because there is no treatment the unknown disease. - Despite the risks, the doctor decides to comfort and serve the people. - Camus, an existentialist, draws from Stoicism, focusing on duty and service. - The doctor's actions bring order to the chaos, reflecting Stoic philosophy. - RFK then discussed Sisyphus, a figure in Stoicism, who is happy despite his eternal, futile task. - Sisyphus's happiness comes from fulfilling his duty (protecting people from a rolling stone), regardless of the outcome. "For eternity [he] pushes a rock up a hill. He can never get it over the top. It always rolls back down and on top of him. And then he goes up and does it again," RFK said. "Sisyphus is a happy man because he put his shoulder to the stone. He was given a duty and he does his duty. And that self-sacrifice that he makes, brings order to a chaotic universe." "So for me to have kind of a concrete task that I know is right, and I'm open to criticism, I have a critical mind. If somebody shows me where I got it wrong, I'll change. I'm not dug in, I'm not hardheaded in that sense." "But until somebody shows me that I'm gonna try to help these children and, you know, and I feel like it's a gift. So, and the more people that abuse me, the bigger the gift is in some way." Video: Liam McCollum

Mitch Johnson on what he saw from Carter Bryant tonight and how much he likes to be coached: "Carter has been as coachable as anybody. At times he probably has tried to do the right thing too much. And I think that's where at times the urgency and the competitiveness of myself comes out, because I just want that kid to play fast and aggressive.. When he plays free and allows his instincts to follow his athleticism and aggressiveness, good things happen. And when he can be disciplined a little bit on top of it, it's fun to watch." #GoSpursGo #PorVida

Mat Ishbia on Devin Booker: “Booker is a special guy and an amazing person. He means so much to the Arizona community, and he knows that. You find out who your real friends are when everyone else turns their back on you. When we went through tough times, it’d be easy for a franchise player to say ‘I put my time in, I’m ready to go’. [Booker] did the reverse. He said ‘I’m with you Mat. I believe what we’re doing. I’m all in with you. Let’s do this.’ He’s had my back, and I’ll always have his back. I’m very honored and lucky to have him.” (via The Draymond Green Show)
