Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #399. As part of our Movies for Adults interview and review series, I saw the film 'Current War' and want to give you my review and comments about the film. Historically, this is a thrilling story: Three brilliant visionaries: Thomas Edison, George Westinghouse, and Nikolai Tesla, set off in a charged battle for the future of electricity in The Current War, the epic story of the cutthroat competition that literally lit up the modern world. Please check out my review. Thanks to EPK.tv for the Cumberbatch interview, which isn't original to me, but appreciated. That's my thought…Remember, Let's Talk About Better. The Not Old Better Show.

AARP Innovation Labs Artiphon The Not Old Better Show - AARP Business Buildout Welcome to The Not Old Better Show, I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode 398. Hey everybody… I attended AARP's annual 2019 Business Pitch Competition, the "Better Together" event at AARP's Innovation Labs, in Washington, DC. Of course, AARP is the nation's largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to empowering people 50 and older to choose how they live as they age. The pitch event is sponsored by AARP Innovation Labs which engages with startups to transform markets and change lives. This event features leading-edge startups from across the country. The startups pitch their ideas that will shape the future of how we all age regarding health, wealth and self solutions. The AARP Innovation Labs are committed to engaging the best and the brightest startups to identify challenges and solve big issues that impact us all as we age. Of course, the Innovation part of the name 'Innovation Labs" has a long history at AARP. AARP was built on innovation and has always worked toward developing solutions that create opportunities and solve problems for people 55+ in age. It's part of the DNA at AARP. Additionally, AARP has long recognized the "longevity economy" — the economic opportunity that America's older population represents — and AARP has actively encouraged product developers and marketers to respond to this "longevity economy" with solutions focused on the interests and needs of people age 55-plus. While at the event, I spoke to all the participants, including today's guest, from Artiphon, who won 2d Prize overall. Let me tell you a bit about Artiphon, which is a cool company, based in Nashville…music capital city. Artiphon lets you play almost any instrument you want in one simple device: the Artiphon. It's a very cool device. When you see it, it may remind you, as it did me, of the Melodica, from when I was a boy. The difference is that the Artiphon has lots of keys, which allow you to really bring the music and technology together. You actually do play it like a guitar/piano/violin. As a matter of fact, we're listening to some of the music now, produced live at the event for us by the Artiphon team. The creators who we'll be speaking within just a moment, were aiming to reach a wide spectrum of people and those of us over 60 will figure this out, and the web site offers lots of great instructional videos, so when they say the "everyone" instrument, they aren't kidding. Getting into music creation and learning to play an instrument may have been an overwhelming (and expensive) process in the past, but this has changed the game. Now, anyone and everyone interested in music creation can pick up an Artiphon and get their groove on, even if they would never walk into a Guitar Center. Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Andy Miller. Thanks for joining me for our recap of the recent AARP In Talk About Better™ The Not Old Better Show on Radio & Podcast!

Syrian Refugees Relief Efforts - Hisham Al Zayed The Not Old Better Show - Interview Series Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #397 As part of our Opinion, Issues of the Day series, today's show is a very special one. Special because of our subject. Special because of the issues involved. And, special because as members of The Not Old Better audience, many of us have grandchildren, extended families, and we know how important children and grandchildren are to us. Let me ask a rhetorical question: what if those children didn't have families? Didn't have you as grandparents. Those children, as orphans, brings much greater need for lifesaving support, healthcare, nutrition, vulnerability, and many, many more issues. I don't ask often, but during the next 2 months, and toward the holiday season of giving, I'm going to ask you all to give of yourselves, give what you can, give funds if available, but give and pray for the orphans of the middle eastern countries ravaged by decades of violence, producing the worst orphan and family crisis the world has ever seen. As I say, I don't ask often, and I would be disingenuous if I didn't support this myself. Gretchen and I donate monthly to the Helping Hand program, one of many, but really doing some great work, and we provide funds and other subsistence-based items to a young boy, his name is Ali Ashgar, and he's a kindergartner, and his life could be worse, but it could also be so much better. I met Ali Ashgar through our guest today, Hisham Al Zayed. Hisham Al Zayed is the Operations Manager for the Helping Hand organization, throughout the Middle East and North Africa, and joins me today to talk about the Helping Hands program, giving us all a current update on the crisis, explaining the orphan and widow program, and giving some examples about how to help. We will put up links directing you to the Helping Hand web site, which is rated amongst the top charities by Charity Navigator, and InterAction. The Helping Hand financial audits are available online, too, but there are many great organizations doing great work on behalf of orphans. Please, this time of year, uplift an orphan into self-reliance and independence by giving them the tools they need to thrive, and even survive. Your donations will offer support focus on education, vocational training, and monthly financial support. Let's learn more, so please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Hisham Al Zayed. My thanks to Hisham Al Zayed, and to the fine organization he represents: Helping Hand. Please consider giving during this upcoming giving season, and please pray for these people. My thanks, as well to you, our wonderful Not Old Better Show audience. Please keep your show suggestions coming at info@notold-better.com. Let's Talk About Better…The Not Old Better Show.

Today's show is brought to you by MintMobile. As part of our Smithsonian Associates, Inside Science series, we're speaking today to Dr. Dan Hooper. Dr. Dan Hooper, senior scientist and head of the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory. Dr. Hooper is with us today to discuss the discoveries about how our cosmos evolved over the past 13.8 billion years. Knowing full well that there remains a critical gap in our knowledge: we still know very little about what happened in the first seconds after the Big Bang. Dan Hooper tells us how we are using the Large Hadron Collider and other experiments to re-create the conditions of the Big Bang and to address mysteries such as how our universe came to contain so much matter and so little antimatter. Could these tools enable us to discover the nature of dark matter and how it was formed in our universe's first moments? Can we lift the veil on the era of cosmic inflation, which led to the creation of our world as we know it, and the sheer advances of the science of cosmology over the last century?
