German digital label Emerald & Doreen is celebrating its 400th release with a continuous 'Best Of' mix courtesy of Jerry Bouthier. 

The regular collaborator delivers yet again a vibrant rollercoaster mix, assembling and editing in one epic excursion some of the imprint's strongest tracks of late. In just over an hour the French DJ/producer, veteran Kitsuné stalwart, sound-designer for fashion and eternal advocate of futuristic emotions, expertly encapsulates this atypical label's diverse thunderous moods (from vocal-led biggies to heads-down stompers and back) notwithstanding all tied-up by the label's uncanny fondness for vintage synthetic sounds and inspired melodies at the crossroad of synth pop, new wave and electronic disco.

Starting humbly as eclectic refuge for bedroom creators of varied individual ilk, Emerald & Doreen, conceived almost a decade ago, has courageously carved out its own personal niche in the electronic music constellation and blossomed into a reliable stable of international talents originating from the four corners of the globe. Thanks to its relentless output and dedicated flair, it has developed into a consistent purveyor of some of the most exciting computer-based dance music around: a melting-pot of electropop, dark disco and other italo, cosmic, nu-disco, indie-dance. hybrids of today. In an increasingly compartmented music world, music fans could only wish for such kaleidoscopic proposition.

Emerald & Doreen 400 - Jerry Bouthier Mix

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I’m Paul Vogelzang and today’s show will be enjoyed by all, especially if you enjoy creativity, are yourself creative, or viewing the arts and creativity.  

Arts positive effects on aging, both for the creator and viewer will rock your soul.  Experts from around the world cite research on how creative endeavors — storytelling and singing, weaving and dancing, and painting and poetry — make people’s lives better as they grow older and deal with the challenges of aging.

So great to be with you today, and again welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I’m your host, Paul Vogelzang, and as part of our Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living interview series,  we have an excellent interview with mixed media artist Gwen Lafleur, and we’re talking about art today.

It is well known that therapeutic art experiences can supply meaning and purpose to the lives of older adults in supportive, nonthreatening ways. Neurological research shows that making art can improve cognitive functions by producing both new neural pathways and thicker, stronger dendrites.

Recent clinical research validates what some professionals and others who work with older adults have known for years—that making art is an essential, vital component of activities that offer a wide range of health benefits. Several studies show that art can reduce the depression and anxiety that are often symptomatic of chronic diseases. Other research demonstrates that the imagination and creativity of older adults can flourish in later life, helping them to realize unique, unlived potentials, even when suffering from Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s disease.

Neurological research shows that making art can improve cognitive functions by producing both new neural pathways and while brains inevitably age, creative abilities do not necessarily deteriorate. Actually, the aging brain responds well to art by allowing the brain’s two hemispheres to work more in tandem. This ability to use one’s creativity throughout a lifetime and the impact of crystallized intelligence gained from the years of accumulated knowledge and life experiences, help to cultivate the aging, creative brain.  

Experts in the field of aging recognize and applaud the importance of both creating art as well as viewing it.  Today’s guest, Gwen Lafleur is an artist, instructor and will attest to the significance of expressive art activities.  We’ll talk about creating art, learning about art, Gwen Lafleur’s artistic journey and all the benefits that come as an artist and as someone appreciative of art and the joy that art offers.

Gwen Lafleur is a lifelong artist, crafter, designer, and world traveler.  Gwen Lafleur has been involved in arts and crafts her entire life, trying anything from drawing lessons to paper crafts and finally finding her true home as a mixed media artist. 

Please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show artist, teacher, entrepreneur Gwen Lafleur.  

My thanks to our guest today for her generous time and expertise, Gwen Lafleur, and you’ll find more details about Gwen, her art, classes she teaches and her great retail store are available on our website.  My thanks to the Smithsonian team for all they do to support the show, and my thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience.  Please be safe everyone, wear your masks when needed, encourage those who haven’t to get vaccinated, and let’s Talk About Better.  The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates series.  Thanks, everybody.

The Benefits of Video Games for Older Adults
The Not Old Better Show, Interview Series

Welcome to The Not Old Better Show.  I’m Paul Vogelzang and today’s show is brought to you by NORD VPN and Inside Tracker.  

I think you’ll enjoy today’s show as we’re talking about gaming, video games specifically.  When you think of a "gamer," you probably don't think of a 65-year-old man or woman spending their afternoon on the Wii, or PS 2, or X Box, or Nintendo Switch. But think again — an estimated 21% of people who play video games are over the age of 50. What’s more, it turns out that some of those older "gamers" are reaping very significant health benefits as a result.

Here are just some of the social, cognitive, and physical benefits that video games and virtual reality (VR) have to offer seniors.
1. BETTER EMOTIONAL WELL-BEING. Whether it's going for a walk, meeting friends for lunch, or seeing a movie, doing anything you enjoy improves emotional health. So it's no surprise many seniors who enjoy playing video games find themselves in better moods.  A study of 140 seniors over 63 years old concluded that both regular and occasional video gamers reported greater well-being, social functioning, and health than non-gamers. In addition, they reported significantly lower rates of depression among people who play video games than those who don't.
2. IMPROVED BALANCE. Video games can provide physical benefits, too, especially to seniors. Certain games that require physical interaction, like Wii Sports and similar titles, can help seniors improve balance, coordination, and reflexes due to the quick decision-making and action required to play. Some seniors have even reported faster walking speeds as a result of playing video games.  It may not be obvious at first, but improving cognitive skills can translate into improved balance and gait. And while fitness video games like Nintendo Wii and even the newer Nintendo Switch have revolutionized exercise for seniors, virtual reality (VR) is already leaving its mark on physical therapy. 
3. ENHANCED COGNITIVE ABILITY. Video games have the potential to support improvement not only emotionally and physically, but cognitively, as well. In fact, a University of California San Francisco study showed significant improvement in cognitive ability, effectively reversing signs of aging in seniors who played 3D video games.
4. REDUCED RISK OF ALZHEIMER'S  With an estimated 5.5 million seniors suffering from Alzheimer's in the U.S. alone, treatment methods are heavily scrutinized and highly valued. Amazingly, recent research has even demonstrated a link between playing video games and a reduced risk of Alzheimer’s.   The study looked at connections between gaming and tissue growth in different areas of the brain — especially the hippocampus, an area associated with memory and Alzheimer’s progression. 
5. ALL THE BENEFITS — PLUS LOTS OF FUN

Our “guest today, Andy Carle, from The Virginian in Fairfax Virginia, says “they love it,"   Andrew Carle, Executive Director, The Virginian, serves as lead instructor and founder of the nation’s only graduate Concentration in Senior Living Administration, within the Georgetown University Program in Aging & Health. In 2004, he coined the term “Nana” Technology and has consulted on technologies for older adults with companies including APPLE, Nintendo, GTX Corporation, and Vigorous Mind, among others. 

We’ll talk about that and more on today’s show, so please join me in welcoming to The Not Old Better Show, Andy Carle.  

My thanks to NORD VPN and Inside Tracker for sponsoring today’s show.  Please support our sponsors.  My thanks to Andy Carle and his team for arranging this great topic.  My thanks to you, my wonderful Not Old Better Show audience.  Please stay safe, be well and let’s talk about better.  The Not Old Better Show.  Thanks, everybody.

Dr. Arthur Lupia, Author Intervew: Uniformed:&nbsp;WHY PEOPLE KNOW SO LITTLE ABOUT POLITICS AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT “Voter ignorance is notorious and well-documented, but merely throwing more facts at voters is not enough. In this capstone work, political scientist Arthur Lupia synthesizes years of work with scientists and educators in all arenas to figure out how to&nbsp;increase issue competence among voters.” Welcome to the Not Old Better Show, I’m your host, Paul Vogelzang. Citizens appear to know very little about politics and government. When asked simple questions on these topics, millions of people give incorrect answers. “Who is your US senator, or, who holds the majority in the house of representatives.” Often voters give no answers at all to these and other civics questions. Given this state of affairs, it is not surprising that experts often deride the public for its ignorance and low voter turnout. Our guest expert today is Dr. Arthur Lupia is the Hal R. Varian Collegiate Professor of Political Science at the University of Michigan. He serves on advisory boards for several science communication endeavors, including the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education at the National Academy of Science and Climate Central. He is also Chair of the American Political Science Association Task Force on Improving Public Engagement, and despite all that’s available on line and elsewhere, Dr Lupia will tell us how to cut through. We have a lagging interest in politics.&nbsp; At least some of us do. But, during this election season, it means a great deal to be informed and Dr. Lupia will share with our Not Old Better audience what’s going on and what he means by “un-informed.” Please join me in welcoming Arthur Lupia, Ph D, to the Not Old Better Show.

MOVIES FOR ADULTS: "SULLY" MOVIE REVIEW The new film, “Sully,” is many things. A wonderful story, for one, but also a term used to identify or describe a person who has gone beyond the impossible to save your ass, or the ass of others. According to the Urban Dictionary, a “Sully” is&nbsp;at minimum a situation so bad that a complete hat trick was never in the cards, and with an outcome or accomplishment so improbable, that it just never happens.&nbsp;&nbsp; Pilot Chesley Sullenberger's wild ride started when he landed a US Airways jet plop-solid perfect onto the icy surface of the Hudson River on Jan. 15, 2009 saving all 155 passengers on board. Fame has followed ever since, and Sullenberger's nickname, "Sully," is now this one-word phrase for coolness in a crisis. He's a hero to a nation in need of a hero, and taxi cab drivers, hotel managers, and bar keeps all recognize him in their midst and heap praise on him. And, just as the nation needs a hero, the real heroes in the film, and in real life are the honest, hard working Americans everywhere: the police, fire, safety, rescue and first responders, but importantly the flight crew themselves.&nbsp; In the film, “Sully,” out this week, seven and a half years after Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger successfully landed a damaged US Airways jet in the Hudson River&nbsp;shortly after takeoff from La Guardia Airport, this “Miracle on the Hudson” is retold through Captain Sullenberger’s honest, responsible, humble eyes.&nbsp; I loved this movie, and think you will, too. &nbsp;Enjoy.

Pay Us To Exercise - Sabrena Jo 

Fitness Friday News 

What’s worse than losing your life? Losing a few bucks, apparently.

According to research conducted by the American Heart Association, threatening coronary-heart-disease patients with money loss could help motivate them to exercise more, according to new research published in Journal of the American Heart Association. 

Creating financial motivation for healthy behavior isn’t a brand-new concept. Insurance companies, for example, already use financial rewards programs to encourage folks to move more. 

Of course, today’s show is part of our Fitness Friday series, and it’s another great one in our Fitness Friday programs. We’ll be hearing from returning guest, Sabrena Jo, who’ll join us. 

Sabrena Jo is a favorite with our Not Old Better audience and is the American Council on Exercise, Director of Science and Research Content. Sabrena Jo will be here to share important information about recent research into fitness trackers, Fitbits, Apple Watches and whether the outcome of the fitness tracker is supported by evidence based research.

Enjoy.
