Inside Las Vegas' only rated-R haunted house
Las Vegas Review-Journal: To enter the Gates of Hell, an R-rated haunted house part of the Freakling Bros. Trilogy of Terror, patrons must accept their fate.
They will be touched, groped, verbally assaulted, emotionally disturbed and electrically shocked.
Holding the waiver all people entering must sign is the character Cardinal Sin, who dons a Roman Catholic robe with an upside-down necklace he occasionally licks suggestively.
"Are you ready for this?" the actor asks glancing over the waivers.
3 Advantages of Giving A PowerPoint-Free Talk
Inside Higher Ed: This week I unplugged, went acoustic, presented naked.
Okay, I didn’t really do any of those things - but I did give a big off-campus talk to an important group without a PowerPoint.
I had my slides all ready to go. The deck was loaded up on the podium computer. And these were good slides. Lots of visuals and evocative images. 22 slides that I’d worked hard on to make each visually appealing. No slides with lots of text. Only images and words that supported a few key arguments and assertions.
I didn’t use these slides.
Why we are burning out in the arts
ArtsHub Australia: Even by arts industry standards, poet, playwright, fantasy novelist, columnist, librettist and performance critic Alison Croggon has a lot to juggle.
She admits she has ‘flirted with burnout' for years.

Why Getting Fired Can Be Critical To Success As A Leader
www.fastcompany.com: Losing your job isn’t something anyone wants, but the experience can make a person a better leader. Steve Jobs, Carly Fiorina, Mark Cuban, and Anna Wintour were all fired during their careers, for example, and each came back stronger.
Imergy Power Systems CEO Bill Watkins was just 21 when he was fired the first time. Working in the psychiatric ward of a Texas hospital during the early ‘70s, the head nurse told him to cut his hair; the hospital had a policy that male employees’ hair couldn’t be longer than the top of their ears. Watkins refused.
Emerson College Take Heed: The Colonial Theatre Matters
Cognoscenti: As the proud parent of an Emerson College student and a longtime patron of Boston’s magnificent Colonial Theatre, I must confess that Emerson President Lee Pelton’s recent op-ed in The Boston Globe and his half-hearted justification for possibly turning the space into a dining hall left me totally confused.
“It is clear,” he asserted, “that maintaining the Colonial for its intended purpose is no longer viable.”
Really?
