MW: Walton, good to see you my man. How’s everything going?

WG: Good buddy. Good

MW: We’re in season two of The Unicorn now and I’m curious to hear from your perspective. What’s the difference in the second season versus the first season, if any?

WG: Well, I am lucky to have been in the second season for a number of shows now, and so I’m familiar with what can happen if you do it right. I think the thing that’s happened on The Unicorn is you don’t have to spend time setting up the situations that these people find themselves in and trying to understand who they are as people.

In the second season you just know who they are and it makes it just much easier to slip right into their point of view. I think that’s what most shows do or become with the first season under their belt. The writers understand who you are as a person and they start writing to your personalities. That’s sometimes dangerous; getting so close to the writers and they become your really good friends. Then they start mining your life and using your own ticks. [laughs] That’s kind of what’s happened in season two, everything is just gotten more focused.

These characters are more three-dimensional. The stakes that we deal with on our show are just more familiar to the audience. The lessons that we’re learning as people have gotten even deeper. I’m really proud of it. I can’t tell you enough with the world and everything that this world has gone through in the last year, to be in this very special situation on this show being able to talk about the things that we talk about that are infinitely relatable to people is something that we all are very grateful for.

MW: So season two you already have that momentum versus in season one you’re just starting from a complete stop.

WG: Right. Season one is about introducing yourselves to people and season two is about taking a walk with them and having a conversation. I love it, I really do.

MW: This Thursday the new episode coming out called is “In Memory Of…” where there’s a memorial created for Wade’s late wife and one of the daughters, Natalie, realizes she starting to lose some of those memories of her mother. What are we going to see out of this week’s episode?

WG: I mean, you’ll laugh for sure but you’ll also feel. The way that a parent feels when their child is going through something. Most of season two has been centered around this new relationship, this new love in Wade’s life between him and Shannon played by Natalie Zea. The grief and the experience of grief and the experience of loss is not linear. It’s not in a straight line; it goes up and down.

This very kind gesture is made and all of a sudden brings up these feelings, which we all thought we had gotten over. It brings it up for my daughter, Natalie, as much as anybody. The idea that the memories that she has of her mom are not real, they didn’t really happen, then what is real, what are the memories that I have of my mom and what happens if I forget her? She doesn’t want to forget her.

That’s what the story is about and what memories mean. What is really kind of important about it, and I think we all experienced that, whether it’s our own child’s lives, things that we’ve forgotten, or in our own childhoods and things that we’ve forgotten and I’m so proud of this episode and all of them. That leads us right into where we need to be for the last three episodes of the season.

MW: The show’s cast, so many very funny people, very talented veteran actors with yourself, Omar, Maya, Michaela, and Rob. There’s just so many huge names. Then we also have Makenzie Moss playing Natalie and Ruby Jay playing Grace, these younger actors early on in their careers. How impressed have you been with those two working alongside all of you veterans?

WG: I just love them so much and Devin, all the kids on the show. I get to work with Ruby and Makenzie the most and to see these young actors and their desire to learn. They’re learning, they’re soaking everything up. I think it’s incumbent upon all of us who have any experience in any field to pay it forward. The student becomes the teacher becomes the student becomes the teacher.

I spend a lot of time with both Ruby and Makenzie when they’re working, talking about the situations that were in this episode in particular. Makenzie’s just so good. She’s so honest. She’s capable of really making people laugh, but she’s also a deep, deep young person. We talked about moms and about memories. We would leave the camera rolling and I said think about that, let’s take that back, there’s no time limit on it. Do it any way you want, try this way. It’s been this freeing open experience. We’ve all become like a family. I just love it, they’re special people.

MW: The fact that they have you as a resource with the career you’ve had that’s pretty incredible for them, I’d imagine.

WG: Thank you so much for saying that.

MW: Of course, now as you said before only a few episodes left in season two and you’ve gotten such great feedback from fans. Is there any message you want to put out to the fans as we get ready for these last few episodes?

WG: After tomorrow night’s episode, we have three left. I hope that this has been a comfort during this time. I can tell you that with the last four episodes including tomorrow night’s episode, we don’t drop the ball. We went to work every single day in order to tell the story.

From our hearts, I promise you will laugh. You will laugh so much over these next four and a half hours. There will be moments where you’ll cry. I promise you, you will because I did at what was happening around me. Thank you so much for going on this journey with us. We can’t wait to see you in season three.

MW: Fantastic. Thank you so much, Walton, always a pleasure. All the best!

WG: Always a pleasure!

Red Bull’s missing RB16B fuels tech secret intrigue

February 25, 2021 by www.motorsport.com Leave a Comment

The Milton Keynes-based team appears to have gone out of its way to make sure that no detailed images of its new RB16B can be accessed by rival teams prior to the first day of pre-season testing in Bahrain.

After conducting a filming day at Silverstone with both its RB15 car from 2019 and the new RB16B on Wednesday, it was noticeable that of the 76 images the team released after running, none of them were of the new car.

Shots were captured of Max Verstappen, Sergio Perez and Alex Albon all in action and in the garage over the full day of running, but each was captured driving the RB15 only.

All of the full car garage shots, panning shots and front views were of the old car. The RB16B was missing in action.

While it would not be amiss of a second-rate team and photographer to accidentally send out the wrong car images and omit any shots of the new machine, Red Bull is a sharp outfit that knows what it is doing. So you can bet that the choice of images that were released, and those that remain hidden for now, was deliberate.

  • How Red Bull’s 2021 F1 car is more than just new stickers
  • Perez: Red Bull F1 test debut a “dream come true” at Silverstone
  • What Red Bull is trying to hide with its RB16B launch

And the most likely explanation for why Red Bull is not showing off its RB16B just yet is that it wants to keep its new car design tweaks secret for now.

A team as competitively single-minded on winning as Red Bull will always want to stop prying rivals getting a good glimpse of any design it has done until the last minute – so it won’t want to give them a head start in being able to get the experts to pore over photographs of the car right now.

The area of its car that Red Bull most likely wants to keep secret is the rear – both in terms of its exact suspension layout after adopting the Mercedes style track rod/lower arm configuration but also the section surrounding the exhausts and gearbox.

The team could also have some tricks up its sleeve in terms of how it has addressed the rule changes surrounding the floor – and how it plans to have recovered any lost downforce.

The two launch images that Red Bull revealed earlier this week appeared deliberately darkened in some areas, and featured an interesting flick on the floor ahead of the rear tyre that the team had tried out last year.

For an area of the car that has been so ripe for development over the winter, it is unlikely that Red Bull hasn’t moved on quite considerably already.

So how much of what we saw of the RB16B launch images is real design for 2021, and how much a decoy, only Red Bull knows so far.

Teams have been known in the past to fit fake parts to launch cars to throw rivals off the scent, or ensure that the best components aren’t actually present when the first shots are spread around in public. It could also be that Red Bull isn’t hiding anything, but will want to waste rival teams’ time by trying to find out what it could be up to when testing does get underway.

With just three days of testing this year, there is not much time for rivals to copy any interesting ideas off their rivals once the cars are unleashed in public.

The real answer about what Red Bull is hiding will not be known until Bahrain testing, and even then it may take some effort from rivals to find out what it is up to.

In the past, Red Bull has been known to go the extra mile in hiding its latest designs at testing too – with team members famously using umbrellas back in 2012 to hide car components whenever its machine was rolled back into the garage.

Inside Mrs Hinch’s enviable garden with B&M’s hanging egg chair, stylish BBQ area and a teepee for Ronnie

June 14, 2020 by www.thesun.co.uk Leave a Comment

MRS Hinch may be known for her stylish grey home, but her garden is sure to give you some serious envy this sunny lockdown weekend.

Sophie Hinchliffe , who has 3.5 million followers on her popular home account, has been lovingly transforming the Essex pad she owns with husband Jamie – and the outdoor space is no exception.

The 30-year-old cleanfluencer posts regular updates on Instagram about her garden – which she’s kitted out with a teepee for son Ronnie, nearly one, and B&M’s popular egg chair.

Sophie bought the chair for £150 last summer – raving that she was “so chuffed” – and accessorised it with B&M fairy lights and fake ivy from The Range.

The groomed garden features rattan furniture, potted plants, a walled flower patch, a stylish patio area and a spacious grassy area for dog Henry to enjoy.

The greenfingered gal, who has a mixture of fake and real plants, previously admitted she had “no clue what I’m doing” when it came to gardening – but has since shown off the fruits of her labour.

She wrote: “No clue what I’m doing but one pair of secators and some cable ties later and I’m proud of my sleepers!

“A lot of these plants I bought 2 years ago at a local market!”

She even has a gardening area with a bucket labelled “Mrs Hinch gardening tools”.

Sophie’s stories have a highlight reel about her garden, which she proudly transformed by painting the fence and pressure washing the patio – as well as adding some great bargains.

The clever mum-of-one converted an old IKEA trolley into her own BBQ area, with two George Foreman grills, which she can wheel into the garage after use.

Mrs Hinch recently bought a light-up water fountain, which “sounds so relaxing” and was reduced from £150 to £80.

Another of her favourite buys is a wooden bench, with clever hidden table which raises out of the middle, which husband Jamie got on sale for £60 in Morrisons.

Switching to Android: iOS 14 may look great, but Android launchers still put it to shame

February 25, 2021 by www.androidcentral.com Leave a Comment

Battle of the widgets Activating launchers, theme packs, and widgets felt as transformative as the world turning to color in Pleasantville .

Switching to Android hero Source: Android Central

As part of my Switching to Android journey, I’m documenting the differences between the two operating systems, exploring the Android features that you might take for granted, but that iOS users may find a compelling reason to switch sides.

My first couple of days with Android 11 and One UI 3.1 underwhelmed me. I successfully transferred my compatible iOS apps over, and there they sat as plain little circles or rounded squares, crowded in on one another. In particular, my Pixel 3a icons looked insubstantial, the display so cramped that several app names ended in ellipses (i.e., Google P…). Bad aesthetics didn’t exactly make me enthusiastic about the transition.

Before iOS 14, iPhone users happily lived with the same aesthetics and similar UI for years. They may care more about Apple apps than customization.

For regular Android users this is a trivial issue: just reconfigure your settings to make the apps more accessible or prettier, right? You’d be surprised how many longtime iPhone users, myself included, aren’t used to changing anything more drastic than the wallpaper. Apple designs may have followed the “think different” motto in the past; but most Apple users fully expect their hardware and software to retain a particular style for years at a time with only incremental changes. Customization was a foreign concept before iOS 14 .

When Apple’s new OS, App Library, and widgets came out, my future colleagues argued that iOS 14 was a better version of Android 11 . I can only speak to the Apple side of things, but I personally wasn’t quite as impressed. Yes, the widgets are especially handy and a huge step up for Apple’s UI. Yet the App Library relies on the same folders as before, just auto-organized. To me, iOS folders are like garages stuffed with stacks of old tools you hold onto and use once in a blue moon — not where you keep the daily apps you actually need . Besides that, the apps themselves are still their usual square selves.

I was open to a new experience, even if I was used to Apple’s style. Then I found out about Android launchers: Android theming had been almost completely off my radar until that moment, and every friend with an iPhone I asked didn’t know it was an option either.

I fell eagerly down a rabbit hole of launchers, icon packs, and custom KWGT widgets, tools that made playing with phone settings appealing instead of a chore. Customization is undoubtedly one of the high points for Google in the iOS vs Android battle.

Launching my creative side

As an easy starting point, I looked through AC’s best Android launchers list and applied them one by one to my home screen. My immediate, unexpected favorite was Microsoft Launcher, thanks in part to its multi-level dock but mostly because of its scrollable widgets page. Being able to scroll through previews of all my favorite apps, instead of having to swipe through different pages or open and load multiple apps, is a genuinely cool feature that I only wish Apple and Google would copy.

With other launchers, it was a mixed bag as a new user. I’m certain that Nova Launcher and Action Launcher are some of the most popular tools for a reason, but they both can be overwhelming for an iOS user that’s still figuring out which way to swipe to open a menu, or how to even find the elusive App drawer! I found myself preferring launchers like Niagara Launcher that have an immediate impact without much user setup. Yes, I know that’s my casual iOS self talking, but I’m trying to ease into things!

Android users probably take launchers and icon packs as a given, but they’re a revelation for a formerly complacent iPhone user.

Android icon packs are also something that you likely take for granted, but were a huge gust of fresh air for me. There may be iOS icon packs now, but they’re mostly so expensive that you can’t easily switch between different packs based on your mood. I’m currently on a minimalist kick with Whicons, but I switch to Crayon Icon, Mellow Dark, or a couple other fun options depending on which wallpaper I’m using.

I also downloaded KWGT presets through KWGT Pro. I’d read about talented Apple fans who’d created iOS 14-style KWGT widgets , and while I personally can just keep using my iPhone if I wanted that, I was very intrigued by the idea of creating custom widgets. I have some coding and design background that I thought could be put to good use, and wanted to try pulling information from apps like Goodreads that didn’t have official widgets.

I didn’t fully understand that KWGT mostly limits you to design customization, allowing you to use specific tools and info like music players, time and date, or phone battery life. It’s possible that I just don’t have the developer know-how I need yet to pull off my dream of a Goodreads reading challenge widget. As far as I know, these mostly seem to cater to artistic types that want their widgets to be more uniquely colorful rather than smarter.

Most Android users will just take what other people have built rather than spend time creating something just for the looks. And outliers like me aside, most Apple users probably don’t care about customization, and just want a phone that handles all the necessities for them.

Prioritizing style or substance

When iOS 14 launched with its new organizational system and home screen widgets, it inspired plenty of hot takes. One that riled up the AC commenters was the idea that iOS 14 widgets make Android’s look like an absolute embarrassment . It’s safe to say that I spent more time playing with widget colors and app themes because I don’t exactly know yet where they should be, or how much they’ve changed. But based on my fresh perspective, there are a few annoyances to point out amidst an overall positive experience:

  • Is there really not a Google Photos widget yet for Android? It’s one of my favorites on my iPhone, so the absence here seems absurd.
  • It’s very frustrating to me that Android doesn’t shove app icons into the next window if you try to add a widget and there isn’t enough room. I don’t like having to individually drag enough apps away to make room.
  • It’s generally far easier in Samsung One UI 3.1 to tell that you’re currently using a launcher, and to tap the bottom square button to find your way back to One UI Home. On the Pixel, it was tricky to find the settings, and I’m still not entirely sure how to turn it off without a guide.

Those points aside, I generally think that Android launchers and customization got me enthusiastic for Android phones in a way that benefits like a fingerprint reader didn’t. It’s possible my enthusiasm will fade: Joe Maring argued last year that a simple home screen is better than one with widgets and cute icons . But I plan on playing with icons and widgets until I figure out what I like, instead of just letting Apple deciding for me what I should like!

Recovery Can be Just Another Word for Failure

February 25, 2021 by www.psychologytoday.com Leave a Comment

Drayton Valley, an hour’s drive west of Edmonton, sits on historic oil fields that turned a 1950s sod-busting community of farmers and loggers into streets lined with new trucks and homes with double-car garages stocked with RV’s and four-wheelers. A 5-year study of more than 500 young people and adults in Drayton Valley that I lead is showing that during past economic booms people worked very long hours but families remained stressed no matter how well they did financially. One or both parents were busy outside the home which meant both marriages and time with children didn’t always receive the attention they deserved. Still, the oil and gas industry was perceived as a Godsend, even if the industry brought with it thousands of transient workers and liquor stores that some say out-numbered places of worship. Economic busts, meanwhile, weren’t necessarily bad either. Participants in our study told us they experienced more time with family, and women felt they were treated more fairly when their work outside the home became more valued as their husbands’ jobs in the oil fields dried up.

Though the resilience of this small town of 7,000 is always teetering on the verge of collapse, Drayton Valley has something to teach us about resilience. Recovery is failure if it returns us to the old normal instead of being a catalyst for transformation. For the first time in years, Drayton Valley is considering the whole-sale diversification of its economy, with new ideas emerging about an education centre, hemp farming, geo-thermal energy production (the town has many people who are very, very  good at drilling holes deep into the ground!) and retirement villages that encourage people young and old to embrace a way of life that is reminiscent of barn-raisers and socials at a local church hall. Residents are coming to understand that to come back stronger means to come back changed.

As a resilience scientist, I shudder when I hear the word recovery. It is the least desirable form of resilience. Paradoxically, it tells us that a previous regime of behavior, whether good for us or not, is so entrenched that individuals and institutions can’t change. I prefer instead, to think of resilience a roller coaster. Over time, we habituate into patterns of living that become comfortable, even if they aren’t the best ways to live long-term. Eventually, old patterns aren’t enough to cope with new realities and our communities experience failure, which forces us to change, just enough to start a new pattern of behavior that we accept as normal (the pandemic has been a powerful catalyst for lots of new ways to live, from working from home to understanding the role government plays in maintaining our economy during a crisis). And so the cycle continues. When our families and communities work well, things get better. For a community like Drayton Valley, that has to include both diversification and honoring its past, maintaining whatever it can of the oil and gas industry it has relied on for decades.

Change Needs a Crisis

Every substantial advance in human development has come from a major natural, social or economic disruption. While painful, a crisis we didn’t intend, like a pandemic, is also an opportunity. A study of Slave Lake Alberta, for example, showed that after forest fires destroyed more than a third of its homes in 2011 many residents challenged their values and habits, seeking out family time and committing themselves to new goals in life. In a very different way, the shuttering of the military airbase in Summerside PEI announced in the April 27, 1989 federal budget was called a disaster that would result in the loss of 1200 jobs, depreciate the Island economy by 4% and affect more than a third of families in the community, many of whom would have to leave. That disaster, though, became an excuse to take advantage of the infrastructure that the federal government transferred to the community and its private entrepreneurs to create an aeronautics park. That park has been less dependent on a single employer but still employs a thousand people. Recovery to a previous state of functioning, it seems, is not all it’s cracked up to be.

If we return to the same patterns of behavior that characterized us before the pandemic, driving long commutes to work 5 days a week, always eating out instead of baking (there has been a shortage of bakers’ yeast and flour for weeks), or spending more time with our phones than our children, we may recover but we will have made ourselves vulnerable once again.

There is an odd little phrase used to describe the economic calcification that takes place in communities like Drayton Valley that depend too much on a single resource like oil and gas. They are said to be “resource cursed”, which may strike those living in Drayton Valley as an overly pessimistic way of seeing the progress they’ve made over the past century. Paradoxically, though, systems that are too strong are bad for us long term. Whether that is a way of thinking or a community’s unflappable political leanings, our success is inversely related to our ability to transform as the conditions around us change. Cheap oil, it seems, slowed our investment in green technologies until the crisis of a changing climate forced us to reconsider our priorities.

All the grief caused by any crisis is a tragic opportunity wasted unless we change the systems that put us at risk in the first place. Paid sick leave is a good lesson to take from a public health emergency. So are some form of income support for the most vulnerable, quality long-term care for the elderly delivered by well-paid staff with the right training, stronger public health investments, national self-reliance when it comes to critical medical supplies, a secure food production and distribution system that can adapt to changing demand, support by business for employees who can work from home, virtual universities and a greener economy. All of these new regimes of behavior need to become the new normal if we are to come back stronger than we were before.
