The Good Place is an American fantasy comedy television series created by Michael Schur. It premiered on NBC on September 19, 2016, and concluded on January 30, 2020, after four seasons and 53 episodes.

Although the plot evolves significantly over the course of the series, the initial premise follows Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell), a woman welcomed after her death to the Good Place, a highly selective Heaven-like utopia designed and run by afterlife "architect" Michael (Ted Danson) as a reward for her righteous life. She realizes, however, she was sent there by mistake and must hide her morally imperfect past behavior while trying to become a better, more ethical person. William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, and Manny Jacinto co-star as other residents of the Good Place, with D'Arcy Carden as Janet, an artificial being who assists the residents.

The Good Place received critical acclaim for its originality, writing, acting, setting, and tone. The first season's twist ending and the show's exploration and creative use of ethics and philosophy were specifically praised. Among other accolades, it received a Peabody Award and four Hugo Awards for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form. It was nominated for 14 Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series for its third and fourth seasons.

Premise and synopsis

The series is centered around an afterlife in which humans are sent to "the Good Place" or "the Bad Place" after death. All humans are assigned a numerical score based on the morality of their conduct in life, and only those with the very highest scores are sent to the Good Place, where they enjoy eternal happiness with their every wish granted, guided by an artificial intelligence named Janet; all others experience an eternity of torture in the Bad Place.

In the first season, amoral loner Eleanor and small-time criminal Jason believe that they have been sent to the Good Place incorrectly. Eleanor's assigned soulmate, Chidi, a moral philosopher, attempts to teach them ethics so they can earn their presence there. Jason's soulmate, wealthy socialite Tahani, attempts to help Michael, the kindly designer of their neighborhood, deal with the chaos apparently caused by Eleanor and Jason's presence. In the season finale, Eleanor realizes that the four humans have actually been in an experimental Bad Place all along, chosen by Michael to torture each other emotionally and psychologically for eternity.

In the second season, Michael repeatedly erases the humans' memories to try to restart their psychological torture, but they figure out the truth each time. Michael's failures result in him being blackmailed by another demon who wants his job, so Michael convinces the humans to help him fool his boss in exchange for passage to the real Good Place. When Michael sees that humans can improve their goodness after they die, he appeals their case to the eternal Judge, who rules that the humans may be returned to their lives on Earth, with no memory of the afterlife, to attempt to prove their moral development.

Back on Earth in the third season, the group participates in a research study led by Chidi and his colleague Simone. Once they learn the truth about the afterlife, they try to help others improve their moral behavior. Eventually they discover that no one has been admitted to the Good Place in centuries. They propose that the points system is fundamentally flawed and set up an experimental simulated Good Place to test their thesis that humans can develop morally with proper support.

In the final season, the year-long experiment eventually proves that humans can show moral improvement in the afterlife. The group institutes a new system whereby deceased humans will earn their way into the Good Place by passing tests of moral development; and then, to avoid becoming numbed by the ennui of eternal bliss, humans may choose to exit the Good Place and peacefully end their afterlife. In the final episode, Jason, Chidi, and Eleanor eventually choose to exit; Tahani becomes a designer of afterlife environments, and Michael is allowed to be sent to Earth to live as a human.

Cast and characters

Main

 Kristen Bell as Eleanor Shellstrop, a deceased selfish American pharmaceutical saleswoman from Phoenix, Arizona, who seemingly winds up in the Good Place in error after being mistaken for a lawyer who exonerated innocent clients facing death sentences. In order to earn her spot, she recruits Chidi to teach her the fundamentals of becoming a better person.
 William Jackson Harper as Chidi Anagonye, a deceased French-speaking Nigerian-Senegalese professor of ethics and moral philosophy who taught at the Sorbonne and St. John's University in Australia. Although he has a kind and supportive nature, his inability to make choices frequently leaves him overanxious and indecisive, often resulting in poor decision-making. Assigned as Eleanor's soulmate in Michael's first Good Place experiment, he gives her ethics lessons in an attempt to make her a better person.
 Jameela Jamil as Tahani Al-Jamil, a deceased wealthy British philanthropist and fashion model who believes she belongs in the Good Place. She forms an unlikely friendship with Eleanor, who initially dislikes her positive attitude, condescending way of speaking, and tendency to name-drop.
 D'Arcy Carden as Janet, a programmed guide and knowledge bank who acts as the Good Place's main source of information and can provide its residents with whatever they desire. She is described as a foundational mainframe for all neighborhoods across the Good and Bad Places. Later, Janet gains a more humanlike disposition and begins to act differently from the way she was designed.
 Carden also portrays multiple Janet iterations throughout the series. Among them are "Bad Janet", a Bad Place counterpart specifically designed by the demons to respond to residents in an inappropriate and impolite manner; "Neutral Janet", an impartial, robotic version of Janet that works in the Accountant's Office; "Disco Janet" who is "fun, but a lot" and, in "Janet(s)", Janet-versions of Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason.
 Manny Jacinto as Jason Mendoza, a deceased  Filipino American amateur disc jockey and drug dealer from Jacksonville, Florida, who seemingly winds up in the Good Place by mistake. He is introduced as Jianyu Li, a Taiwanese Buddhist monk who took a vow of silence. Later, Jason proves to be an immature, simple but kindhearted Jacksonville Jaguars and Blake Bortles fan.
 Ted Danson as Michael, a Bad Place architect who runs the Good Place neighborhood in which Eleanor, Chidi, Tahani, and Jason reside. Michael has a fascination with the mundane aspects of human life, like playing with paper clips or searching for one's car keys. In the first-season finale, it is revealed that he has been tricking the four humans all along and is actually a demon torturing them, though he later teams up with and befriends them. "Michael" is a Hebrew name meaning "who is like God". The character of Michael was based on the archangel Michael.

Recurring

Demons
 Tiya Sircar as Vicky, a Bad Place demon who portrays the "real Eleanor Shellstrop", whose position in the Good Place Eleanor supposedly stole in the first season. In the second season, when Michael's plans repeatedly fail, she tries to blackmail Michael into giving her control over the neighborhood. Late in the series, Michael places her in charge of introducing the other demons to the revised afterlife system.
 Adam Scott as Trevor, a cruel Bad Place demon who bullies the main group. He makes a return in the third season posing as an overenthusiastic member of Chidi's academic study on Earth, only to be later exiled by the Judge upon being discovered.
 Marc Evan Jackson as Shawn, Michael's wicked boss. Shawn gives Michael two chances to pull off the torture experiment and later turns against him when he finds out about Michael's betrayal. He is also the main character of the spin-off series The Selection.
 Luke Guldan as Chris Baker, a muscular Bad Place demon assigned as Eleanor's soulmate in the second attempt. Chris was sent to the experimental Good Place disguised as "Linda". His mission was to distract Eleanor and the others so the Bad Place could kidnap Good Janet and replace her with a Bad Janet.
 Jama Williamson as Val, a demon and Shawn's secretary.
 Amy Okuda as Gayle, a Bad Place demon pretending to be a Good Place resident by the name of Jessica. She shows a lack of interest in the humans, despite Shawn's obsession.
 Steve Berg as Chuck, a Bad Place demon pretending to be a Good Place resident by the name of Gunnar. His preferred form of punishment is chewing.
 Bambadjan Bamba as Bambadjan, a Bad Place demon pretending to be a lawyer in the Good Place. He is among the more cunning of Shawn's demons.
 Josh Siegal as Glenn, a Bad Place demon pretending to be a cheerfully dopey Good Place resident. He is among the few demons to show actual concern for another being. He blows up in "Tinker, Tailor, Demon, Spy", although Michael stated that he would reconstitute himself with time, having to relive the life cycle of a demon.
Joe Mande as the voice of Toddrick "Todd" Hemple, a lava monster who refuses to wear a human suit.

Humans
 Maribeth Monroe as Mindy St. Claire, a deceased corporate lawyer and addict who died in the process of founding a charity she had planned during a cocaine high. The charity generated enough good points after her death that her point total exceeded that required to enter the Good Place. As a compromise, the Judge ruled that she would receive her own private Medium Place, where everything is mediocre and grounded in the 1980s.
 Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Simone Garnett, an Australian neuroscientist and, briefly, Chidi's girlfriend. She is also the second test subject to be sent to the experimental Good Place, although she initially believed that she was experiencing a brain-death hallucination.
 Eugene Cordero as Steven "Pillboi" Peleaz, Jason's best friend and partner in crime. Jason, Tahani and Michael manage to convince him to avoid criminal behaviour and focus on his career in elder care so that he could get into the Good Place.
 Ben Lawson as Larry Hemsworth, Tahani's former boyfriend and the fictional fourth Hemsworth brother. Despite being a very attractive, successful paediatric surgeon, he constantly berates himself.
 Rebecca Hazlewood as Kamilah Al-Jamil, Tahani's exceedingly successful and competitive younger sister. Tahani died attempting to humiliate her.
 Ajay Mehta as Waqas Al-Jamil, Tahani's father.
 Anna Khaja as Manisha Al-Jamil, Tahani's mother.
 Leslie Grossman as Donna Shellstrop, Eleanor's cruel, self-centered, negligent mother. In the third season, it is revealed that she faked her death in Arizona and has found peace as a PTA mom in a Nevada suburb.
 Angela Trimbur as Madison, Eleanor's roommate.
 Meryl Hathaway as Brittany, Eleanor's roommate.
 Mitch Narito as Donkey Doug, Jason's dopey father. Jason, Tahani and Michael's plan to get him into the Good Place by convincing him to become a qualified electrician fails after Donkey Doug plans several robberies as part of a get-rich-quick scheme involving a combined energy drink and body spray product.
 Keston John as Uzo, Chidi's best friend. He had long suffered from Chidi's indecisiveness and witnessed Chidi's original death.
 Brandon Scott Jones as John Wheaton, the first test subject sent to the experimental Good Place. In life, he was a gossip columnist and published trashy articles, especially about Tahani.
 Ben Koldyke as Brent Norwalk, a bigoted and arrogant corporate chief executive, and the fourth test subject sent to the experimental Good Place.
 Michael McKean and Noah Garfinkel as Doug Forcett. Michael keeps a picture of Garfinkel as Forcett on his office wall as a reminder of the human who during a magic mushroom high almost understood the afterlife points system (with many major religions only understanding about five percent of it). In a later episode, Michael McKean appears as an older Forcett trying to live the best life possible on Earth, much to the detriment of his own happiness. Garfinkel appears as Forcett in the final episode.

Other celestial beings
 Jason Mantzoukas as Derek, a malfunctioning artificial rebound boyfriend created by Janet. Gifted by the humans to Mindy for helping them escape the fake Good Place, he was repeatedly rebooted for privacy or amusement. He serves as a template for the 'Janet baby' Good Place residents for Eleanor and Michael's experiment.
 Maya Rudolph as Gen, the judge who rules on interdimensional matters between the Good Place and the Bad Place
 Mike O'Malley as Jeff the Doorman, the gatekeeper of the doorway between the afterlife and Earth. He has an affinity for frogs.
 Brad Morris as Matt, a suicidal accountant who works in a neutral office between the Good Place and the Bad Place. He is assigned as the accountant for Eleanor and Michael's experiment. He had been formerly assigned to evaluating "Weird Sex Things" in Accounting, which accounted for nearly all case studies of unprecedented human behaviour.
 Paul Scheer as Chuck, leader of the Good Place committee. Ostensibly wanting to help Eleanor and her friends, he is very hesitant to take any actual action and is overly deferential to any demands by the Bad Place in negotiations. Chuck and the rest of the committee abandon the Good Place after inducting Michael as a resident (and its new leader), having run out of ideas of how to lift the sense of ennui hanging over its residents.
 Stephen Merchant as Neil, the manager in the Accounting office where all the life points are calculated. He reveals that nobody has been sent to the Good Place for about 500 years.
 Nicole Byer as Gwendolyn, an optimistic and bubbly mailwoman who works at the Good Place Correspondent Centre. She is naive and was quick to believe that the main group had won a raffle to a free tour of the Good Place. She also guided Michael how to contact the Good Place committee. Despite being quietly furious after she realized the group was lying to her, she was still able to kindly wave them goodbye as they joined the Judge to IHOP.

Episodes

Production

Casting

NBC issued a press release on August 13, 2015, announcing it had given the then-untitled show a 13-episode order based purely on a pitch by Michael Schur. On January 12, 2016, it was announced that Kristen Bell and Ted Danson had been cast in the lead roles for the series. The first synopsis of the show was also released, stating that it would revolve around Eleanor designing her own self-improvement course with Michael as her guide – although the afterlife element had always been a part of the series, as Bell stated she was aware of the first-season finale twist when she signed on.

William Jackson Harper was cast as Chris on February 11, 2016, though the character was renamed Chidi. Jameela Jamil was cast as Tessa on February 25, 2016, and her character was renamed Tahani. On March 3, 2016, Manny Jacinto was revealed to have been cast as a "sweet and good-natured Jason" whose "dream is to make a living as a DJ in Southern Florida". On March 14, 2016, D'Arcy Carden was cast as a series regular announced as "Janet Della-Denunzio, a violin salesperson with a checkered past" – although writer Megan Amram later admitted that this was a hoax.

Development
The show's final premise, including the afterlife element, was announced on May 15, 2016, when NBC announced its 2016–17 TV season.

According to Schur, they originally planned to include religious elements after doing research on various faiths and groups. Instead, he decided on a more diverse concept that included all faiths and was free of religious views. "I stopped doing research because I realized it's about versions of ethical behavior, not religious salvation," he says. "The show isn't taking a side, the people who are there are from every country and religion." He also pointed out that the setting (shot in San Marino, California's Huntington Gardens) already had the feeling of a pastiche of different cultures, and said the neighborhoods would feature people who were part of nondenominational and interdenominational backgrounds who interacted with each other regardless of religion.

The series' setting and premises, as well as the serialized cliffhangers, were modeled on Lost, a favorite of Schur's. One of the first people he called when he developed the series was Lost co-creator Damon Lindelof. "I took him to lunch and said, 'We're going to play a game [of] 'Is this anything?'" He then added "I imagine this going in the Lost way, with cliffhangers and future storylines."

The first season's surprise twist, that the Good Place was the Bad Place, and Chidi, Eleanor, Jason and Tahani were chosen because they were best suited to torture each other indefinitely, is very similar in premise to philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre's stage play No Exit, where three strangers die and are escorted to a single room by a friendly bellhop and informed they must co-exist. They ultimately determine they are entirely incompatible and reach the conclusion that "hell is other people". Danson and Bell were the only actors who knew the ultimate premise from the start.

Critics have also suggested similarities to 1960s surreal TV show The Prisoner in its isolated, rule-bound setting.

Broadcast and release
The series premiered September 19, 2016. On January 30, 2017, NBC renewed the series for a second season of 13 episodes, which premiered on September 20, 2017, with an hour-long opening episode. On November 21, 2017, NBC renewed the series for a 13-episode third season, which premiered on September 27, 2018. On December 4, 2018, NBC renewed the series for a fourth season, which premiered on September 26, 2019. On June 7, 2019, it was announced that the fourth season would be the last.

International
In several international territories, the show is distributed on Netflix. The first season was released September 21, 2017 and episodes of subsequent seasons became available within 24 hours of their U.S. broadcast.

Home media
All DVD releases for The Good Place were distributed by the Shout! Factory. The first season was released on DVD in region 1 on October 17, 2017, the second on July 17, 2018, and the third on July 30, 2019. The complete series was released on Blu-ray on May 19, 2020.

Reception

Ratings

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the first season has a rating of 92%, based on 74 reviews, with an average rating of 7.80/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Kristen Bell and Ted Danson knock it out of the park with supremely entertaining, charming performances in this absurd, clever and whimsical portrayal of the afterlife." On Metacritic, the first season has a score of 78 out of 100, based on reviews from 32 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

The editors of TV Guide placed The Good Place second among the top ten picks for the most anticipated new shows of the 2016–17 season. In its review from writer Liam Matthews, "NBC's new comedy has an impressive pedigree" (referring to Mike Schur and stars, Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, the latter cited as "arguably the greatest sitcom actor of all time"). Matthews concludes, "The hope is that their combined star power can restore NBC's tarnished comedy brand to its former glory. It won't be the next Friends, but it's something even better: a network comedy that feels different than anything that's come before."

On Rotten Tomatoes, the second season has a rating of 100%, based on 59 reviews, with an average rating of 9.0/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "By voluntarily blowing up its premise, The Good Place sets up a second season that proves even funnier than its first." On Metacritic, the second season has a score of 87 out of 100, based on reviews from 10 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".

On Rotten Tomatoes, the third season has a rating of 98%, based on 47 reviews, with an average rating of 8.35/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "Charming and curious as ever, The Good Place remains a delightfully insightful bright spot on the television landscape." On Metacritic, the third season has a score of 96 out of 100, based on reviews from five critics, indicating "universal acclaim".

On Rotten Tomatoes, the fourth season has a rating of 100%, based on 52 reviews, with an average rating of 8.3/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "A wild philosophical ride to the very end, The Good Place brings it home with a forking good final season."

Several critics have commended the show for its exploration and creative use of ethics and philosophy. Featured topics include the trolley problem thought experiment originally devised by Philippa Foot, the categorical imperative first formulated by Immanuel Kant, T. M. Scanlon's What We Owe to Each Other, and the works of Aristotle and Søren Kierkegaard. Andrew P. Street of The Guardian wrote that "moral philosophy is the beating heart of the program" and that the show "made philosophy seem cool." Elizabeth Yuko of The Atlantic noted that "The Good Place stands out for dramatizing actual ethics classes onscreen, without watering down the concepts being described, and while still managing to be entertaining." For their part, several philosophers have celebrated the show's largely accurate popularization of their line of work, while noting some minor inaccuracies.

Several critics have noted that The Good Place is notable for its eschewing of antiheroes and cynical themes in favor of likable characters and positive messages. James Poniewozik of The New York Times said, "The most refreshing thing about The Good Place, in an era of artistic bleakness, is its optimism about human nature. It's made humane and sidesplittingly entertaining television out of the notion that people – and even the occasional immortal demon – are redeemable." Jenna Scherer of Rolling Stone wrote that The Good Place proved that "slapstick and banter can coexist alongside tragedy and hardship – that a show doesn't need to be self-serious to be serious-minded." Erik Adams of The A.V. Club praised the show as portraying an "uncommonly decent TV world". Stuart Heritage of The Guardian called The Good Place "relentlessly optimistic", a quality which Stephanie Palumbo of Vulture called "a salve for despair in the Trump era".

In 2019, The Good Place was ranked 69th on The Guardians list of the 100 best TV shows of the 21st century.

Critics' top-ten lists

Accolades

During its airing, The Good Place received many awards and nominations. It received fourteen Primetime Emmy Award nominations during its run, including two nominations for Outstanding Comedy Series for its third and fourth seasons. It also received two Golden Globe Award nominations in 2019, including a nomination for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. In genre awards, the show has won four Hugo Awards for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form for "The Trolley Problem", "Janet(s)", "The Answer", and "Whenever You're Ready"; it has also been nominated two other times in the category. The show also received three consecutive nominations from the Saturn Awards for Best Fantasy Television Series and three nominations from the Nebula Awards for the Ray Bradbury Award, winning once for the latter. In 2017, the American Film Institute named the show as one of its top 10 television programs of the year, and in 2019, the show received a Peabody Award for its contributions to entertainment.

Several cast members have received awards for their performances on the show. Danson received three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for his performance as Michael. He has also been nominated for three Critics' Choice Television Awards (winning one in 2018), two Satellite Awards, and a TCA Award for his work. Bell was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for her performance as Eleanor, as well as one Critics' Choice Television Award, two People's Choice Awards (winning one in 2019), one Teen Choice Award, and one TCA Award. Maya Rudolph has received three Emmy nominations for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, and Harper, Jamil, Carden, and Adam Scott have all received nominations for awards for their work on the show.

Philosophical inspirations

The Good Place makes use of many different theories of moral philosophy and ethics through the character of Chidi Anagonye, the moral philosophy professor. Within the show, there is reference to John Locke, Tim Scanlon, Peter Singer, and Derek Parfit, and "the show has covered everything from Jonathan Dancy's theory of moral particularism, to Aristotelian virtue ethics, to Kantian deontology, to moral nihilism." UCLA philosophy professor Pamela Hieronymi and Clemson philosophy professor Todd May served as consultants to the show. They both made cameo appearances in the final episode.

The beginning of The Good Place takes its inspiration from the idiom "Hell is other people" from Jean-Paul Sartre's play No Exit. In the play three people are trapped in Hell, represented as one room, and they torture one another psychologically while reflecting upon the sins that got them there. The concept "Hell is other people" is an often-misunderstood philosophical idiom meant to reflect that "Hell is other people because you are, in some sense, forever trapped within them, subject to their apprehension of you."

The second season's philosophy is most closely related to that of Aristotle, with Schur in particular highlighting Aristotle's "practice-makes-perfect" attitude to acting ethically. Chidi's impenetrable 4,000 page ethical treatise was inspired by Parfit's On What Matterswhich attempts "to propose a grand unified theory of all ethical theories". Schur was unable to finish reading due to its length. Tim Scanlon's What We Owe to Each Other "forms the spine of the entire show" according to Schur. The book presents the idea of contractualism: the idea is that "to act morally is to abide by principles that no one could reasonably reject". The show and the relationships between the characters act as an investigation into contractualism with the four main humans, Michael, and Janet forming their own society whereby they must act in ways that no one could reasonably reject even when that goes against the rules and tenets of higher powers. The overarching thesis of the show, greatly influenced by the contractualist theory, is "the point of morality... isn't to accumulate goodness points, as in the elaborate point system the organizers of the Good Place and its corresponding Bad Place employ to determine who goes to which upon death. It's to live up to our duties to each other."

The Selection
In September 2019, prior to the release of the fourth season of The Good Place, NBC released a six-episode web series on their website, app, and their YouTube channel, titled The Selection (full title: The Good Place Presents: The Selection), directed by Eric Kissack. The series, set during an ellipsis taking place during the season 3 episode 11: "Chidi Sees the Time-Knife", follows Michael's former demon boss Shawn as he and his underlings decide which four people to pick for Michael's new incarnation of "the Good Place". Marc Evan Jackson, Josh Siegal, Bambadjan Bamba, Amy Okuda, and Jama Williamson form the main cast by reprising their roles from The Good Place as Shawn and his underlings, with Joe Mande reprising his role as Toddrick "Todd" Hemple in the third episode. At the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards, the series was nominated for Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama Series.

Do you ever let the "little" things get you down?
I was threatened by that temptation yesterday. There were several little things that happened (do they ever come in singles???) to discourage me.
In the process of registering my younger daughter for a cake decorating class, we discovered that, in addition to the fee for the class, there was a long list of expensive supplies we would need to purchase (items that we most likely would never use again). The store clerk was very gracious and canceled the registration for us, but I was still a bit disappointed.
When we got home, I hoped to find that a book I had ordered to use in our family devotions had been delivered. It had been two weeks since I ordered it, so when I saw that it hadn't arrived, I went online to track the shipping. Apparently the book was delivered to the wrong address and was on its way back to the sender. I called the company, who said they would ship another one out today, but I was frustrated that we won't get it until later next week.
I was sinking into a bad mood (perhaps there's a more technical phrase for that?) when I got off the phone with customer service. Just then I heard one of my daughters getting frustrated because her computer was malfunctioning while she was trying to play a game. That's when it hit me; I could use this moment to remind myself – and hopefully explain to her – that when we encounter these little frustrations, we can turn the moment to look at the big picture and find something for which we can be thankful.
We sat on the couch and I thanked her for her understanding attitude about not being able to take the class. She realized that the expense wasn't worth it and never complained about not attending. With regards to the book not being delivered, we talked about being thankful that our family has devotions together, my husband willingly leads us, and there's certainly plenty we can find in the Bible to discuss before the book arrives! For her part, my daughter decided that she was thankful that she at least has a computer to get mad at!
It all goes back to one of my dad's favorite sayings, "Attitude is everything." I hope that both my daughter and I will remember this discussion – and hopefully we can encourage each other with this little lesson if (when!) one of us forgets it!
Have you had any teachable moments with your children lately?
No, those "little" things don't seem to come by themselves, do they? Maybe God is using them to teach us something. Hmmm.
Yes, I have lots of teachable moments with my children. Whenever I hear them say something to one of their siblings that I know I've said to them, and it's something I shouldn't have said or in a tone of voice that I shouldn't have used. It teaches me to be careful about what and how I say things because they are listening and copying me.
We have had a few teachable moments in the past few weeks, but thankfully my husband has been so wonderful and helping me keep cool and focused!


Custom tarps are not that easy to create. Aside from the fact that it requires advanced skills and equipment, the way clients order them can also be challenging. Without the right specifications or even diagram, clients can end up getting a tarp that's way off in both measurement and design.
To overcome the challenges that come with ordering custom made tarp covers, you have to be specific and direct about what you want. Make sure that your specifications are accurate and comprehensive. If you can create a diagram or drawing, provide one as it can greatly help us deliver the results you are after.
You can use a hand drawing, an Excel file drawing or evan a CAD file. Whatever method you choose, we will work on interpreting your drawing for an accurate quote which will result in a precise product.
We offer custom made tarps and have a skilled design team working on them for you. They can reach out to you if they are having difficulties interpreting your design or if they need to make a more elaborate copy of your original file. They can also require assistance in case they don't have the tarp color and fabric you are looking for or if there will be a slight deviation on the tarp's size during installation and fitting.

Judgment Without Understanding
by Debbie Arace | Jun 10, 2019
When I was asked to join the writers at The Daily Feels it was presented to me as an opportunity to put my perspective on life out there. I accepted the offer simply because I wanted to share my experiences in a way that might be helpful to others. All of my stories have been about my life and how I deal with what comes my way. The particular tools I use are faith and humor as most of you may know by now. They really do make life easier to understand and deal with. It's always my hope that I can help someone get through their own struggles. If I can make one person suffer a little less then I feel I've accomplished something worthwhile. This month, I thought I'd write about someone else's struggle and the effect it had on me.
Each of us has our own unique story to tell. While some of our experiences may be similar to the processes by which we deal can vary. Those variations are an opportunity for us to learn from one another. I learned a lot through an interview I recently watched. There was a new season of Letterman interviews on Netflix that I wanted to see. I enjoyed his guests last season and hoped he had some good ones this year as well. One of the interviews was with Ellen. I always enjoyed her stand-up routines, her delivery, and her timing. I watched her sitcom when it was on and felt terrible for her when it was canceled because she "came out". Needless to say, I was thrilled with her comeback as a talk show host. There's a genuine quality in her that I admire. I decided to watch Letterman's interview with her. I was captivated by her story. I had known some of what she'd gone through but didn't know what she was actually dealing with inside. Not only had she struggled with being gay but she had also been sexually abused by her mother's husband. How does a young girl come to terms with this while she's dealing with the fact that she's gay? Watching her in this interview allowed me to really see and understand the struggles that she had endured. Her coming out nearly cost her the career she had built up. I could only imagine how she must have felt inside. To work so hard to succeed only to be torn apart because she openly said she was gay. She became ostracized because of it. Her girl next door, innocent image became tarnished. Those who couldn't understand became her judges. I'm sure in olden days she would have been burned at the stack for her actions. What exactly were her actions? What was she caught doing? All she did was say she was gay. Nothing else. She was being honest with herself and now she wanted to be honest with the world. She was gay. She dated both men and women but felt a greater connection with women. All she wanted was to live her life as peacefully as she could without hiding in the closet any more.
Once Ellen let this be known the firing squad loaded up. She was looked down upon frowned at and judged by her choices. No one knows why a person feels passion for the same sex. The person themselves may not even know. All they know is that they feel something very real to them. There are many theories as to why a person is gay. Some believe people are born gay. Some believe the person has contempt for the opposite sex so they avoid intimacy with them. Others see being gay as a temptation, a sin against God. They believe if your right-hand causes you to sin you cut it off. Meaning they should refuse the temptation and live a celibate life. Truth is we'll never know the answer to why a person feels a certain way. Whatever the case may be we don't have the right to judge. We may disapprove of the action, that's our right but we should never condemn a person for what they feel. We don't know the pain of having to lie to loved ones, feeling you'll be seen as a disappointment. Living a lie can take its toll on anyone, especially at the risk of being ridiculed. I would venture to say that Ellen wanted to live her life as normal as possible with someone she'd love who just happened to be a woman instead of a man.
As I said, on top of this her stepdad had sexually abused her. How does a young girl tell her mother that the man she is married to is abusing her daughter? When she finally drew up the courage to tell, her mother refused to believe her. Imagine what that did to her.
As I listened to Ellen speak I realized that she is a person of tremendous strength. I had forgotten that she paved the way for others to "come out". She knew the risks and she was willing to take them. She wanted to be free to live her life. She publicly exposed herself and was left in a vulnerable position. What she wanted was for us to see the person within. Her message was: This is who I am. I feel, I bleed, and I have the same desires to love and be loved as anyone else. You can love me or hate me but you can't destroy me. I'm not out to hurt anyone. I have a purpose in life and I intend to live it as a gay woman. I will no longer hide from the truth.
Ellen is most grateful for what she has accomplished in life. She's humble about it. She has a hey, I'm just me doing the best I can kind of way about her that draws people in. I never saw her as an extremist. She talks about her relationship as we all do but doesn't flaunt it excessively to prove anything. I find she keeps it respectful as love should be kept. Extremism has a tendency to rile up people rather than help them understand. I sometimes feel that extremism along with those who just want to experiment make it harder to accept what a gay person goes through. Those actions, in my opinion, take away from our vision of seeing the whole person and their suffering. I feel they have a tendency to mock the suffering that was felt by so many. I wonder if people who are extremists just to prove a point or curiosity seekers really understand the emotional torment one suffers inside. Do they recognize the courage, strength, and humility one must have to finally come out openly? Funny thing is Ellen saw herself as weak. As I said before I think it took a tremendous amount of courage and strength to expose herself. It also took courage to confront her mom regarding her stepfather's abuse. Both things that could have potentially destroyed her saved her. She is who she is, she does what she does and she tries to give back to the world in a constructive way.
Admire Ellen or not I think we could all agree that we'd all wish for that kind of courage in life to face our own challenges, whatever they may be and come out stronger because we dared to tell the truth.

Al Roker Shares Prostate Cancer Diagnosis, Will Undergo Surgery Soon
Al Roker revealed on the Today show on Friday that he's been diagnosed with prostate cancer, but the famous forecaster is remaining optimistic. During the broadcast, the 66-year-old said that he's set to undergo surgery next week to have his prostate removed, and his recovery will necessitate some time off from television. Roker also stressed that he wanted to publicly reveal his diagnosis to help increase prostate cancer awareness, which affects 1 in 7 African American men and 1 in 9 men overall in their lifetime.
"It's a good news-bad news kind of thing," Roker said on the show. "Good news is we caught it early. Not great news is that it's a little aggressive, so I'm going to be taking some time off to take care of this." Roker will be treated by Dr. Vincent Laudone at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York City. Also appearing on the program, Laudone spoke about Roker's diagnosis and the surgery he'll be undergoing next week.
RELATED: Matt Lauer Fired for Allegedly Assaulting Co-Worker During Olympics
"Fortunately, his cancer appears somewhat limited or confined to the prostate, but because it's more aggressive, we wanted to treat it, and after discussion regarding all of the different options – surgery, radiation, focal therapy – we settled on removing the prostate," Laudone said. For his part, Roker is also staying positive, adding that he hopes to be back on the Today show performing his duties by the end of the month.
"We'll just wait and see, and hopefully in about two weeks, I'll be back," Roker stated.
Additionally, Roker stresses that Black men are particularly at risk for prostate cancer, urging others to get checked at the doctor regularly to stop a cancer from spreading if it's detected early. It is recommended by the Prostate Cancer Foundation that African American men talk to their doctor about getting screened for prostate cancer starting at age 40. Cancer surgeon Dr. Carol Brown also said on Today that Black men are 50% more likely to get prostate cancer and twice as likely to die from it compared to white men.
"Another important message to know is that there are no symptoms with early prostate cancer," Brown said on the show. "So screening saves lives, and African American men need to get screened and should get screened usually starting at age 40."
It was at the end of September when Roker discovered he had prostate cancer during a routine physical after his doctor noticed an elevated prostate-specific antigen in his bloodwork. He then confirmed his diagnosis through an MRI and biopsy. Roker returned to work on Today the very day after receiving his diagnosis, and even now, he insists that he doesn't want people feeling sorry for him.
"I don't want people thinking, 'Oh, poor Al,' you know, because I'm gonna be OK," Al said on Today.
Maybe Roker isn't asking for it, but he's still getting a large outpouring of support on social media following the reveal of his prostate cancer diagnosis. In a response post on Twitter, Roker noted, "I want to thank everyone sending all the good thoughts, wishes and prayers our way. Looking forward to seeing you all in a couple of weeks." See you then, Al, and here's to a speedy recovery! This news comes to us from The official today.com website.

New York Senate Passes Bill to Make "Annoying" a Cop a Felony
by SaltyTalk on June 10, 2013 at 6:40 am
Posted In: SaltyTalk
New York's state Senate approved a measure last week, S2402, which would make "aggravated harassment" of a police officer a crime – but not just any crime – a felony charge. Senator Joseph Griffo first introduced the bill in January. It passed the Committee on Codes in May with 11 ayes and 4 nays, and the Senate passed it last Wednesday with 50 ayes and 13 nays.
If passed by the Assembly, which is where it is now headed, and signed by Governor Cuomo, S2402 would charge a citizen with a Class E felony charge if they harass a cop.
"Police officers all across this state put their lives on the line every day to protect the people of New York," reads the bill. "New York State must establish laws and toughen existing laws that protect the police from becoming victims of criminals. Far too many law enforcement officers are being harassed, injured, even killed while honoring their commitment to protect and serve this state."
"The Legislature has a responsibility to do everything we can to protect our brave heroes, our police officers, from violent criminals. This legislation contributes to that premise," reads the legislation. While the New York State Legislature may deem its law enforcement officers as "brave heroes", civil liberties advocates may sometimes think otherwise.
While the bill does not specify what exactly would be determined as harassment toward a cop, it does explain that it would be an amendment to the penal law. "Section one amends the penal law by adding a new section 240.33 establishing the crime of aggravated harassment of a police officer or peace officer," reads the legislation.
According to the penal law, first-degree aggravated harassment includes the "intent to harass, annoy, threaten or alarm another person." This poses the question as to whether or not simply "annoying" an officer could be deemed as a felony, which also brings to question what exactly would be considered "annoyance"?
Equivocally, the penal law also includes that if an offender carves, paints, draws or in any way puts a Nazi German swastika or noose on someone's property, they could be charged because it could represent racism. Arson is included as well.

Last of the elite

Coaches dub Nate Gerwig team 'warrior' as he perseveres through several injuries
MELISSA GAUG | DAILY KENT STATER
Credit: Carl Schierhorn
In school history, the Kent State men's basketball team has only won the Mid-American Conference regular-season championship twice. Senior center Nate Gerwig is the only person to win it both times.
Gerwig is the only player remaining on the roster from the 2001-2002 Elite Eight season. But he has had a substantial history of injuries in his career and was redshirted his junior year.
His position coach, assistant coach Rob Senderoff, described Gerwig as the team's warrior. Senderoff has been in Kent four out of five of Gerwig's seasons and has helped him through the injuries.
"He's had so many injuries. The fact that he's still committed to this, playing hard, diving for the ball and taking charges tells a lot about his character," Senderoff said. "He's one of those guys you're always glad to have on your side and not on the other team."
Before his freshman year, Gerwig was an honoree on the MAC All-Freshman Team. He started 26 of the last 28 games his freshman year, shot a team-leading 68 percent and got to play in the Elite Eight game against Indiana.
His freshman year was the only season he played 100 percent healthy. Injuries started plaguing him the summer after the team's run in the NCAA Tournament. He broke his hand twice practicing during the off-season.
Eight games into his sophomore season, Gerwig was going for a layup at Cleveland State and dislocated his shoulder. The injury only benched him for one game, but he said playing injured all season made things worse.
Gerwig had shoulder surgery immediately after his sophomore season, forcing him to be redshirted and miss his junior season.
The first time Gerwig took the floor to practice after his shoulder fully recovered, he hurt his knee, requiring surgery in October of 2004 and eight games on the bench.
He started this year healthy and will exhaust his NCAA eligibility at the season's end. But injuries continued to plague him when he sprained his MCL practicing during a California road trip over winter break, causing him to sit out a couple nights and wear a knee brace.
Considering Gerwig's luck, he has not missed many games. Senderoff said some sit out for six weeks with dislocated shoulders.
"I've tried to play through all my injuries," Gerwig said. "I still try to come out and play no matter how hard it hurts. I've probably come back too soon before and made things worse, but I don't like to be watching when I could be out there."
Senderoff said he doesn't know what Gerwig might have accomplished if injuries did not slow him down, but he does know he has persevered and even strengthened his work ethic.
Gerwig said he met Senderoff at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center at 7 a.m. every day to swim one mile the year he sat out. He would also do physical therapy, practice shooting and hang out with senior forward Kevin Warzynski.
"Kevin (Warzynski) and I both sat out that year, and he really helped me get through it," Gerwig said. "Kevin (Warzynski) transferred, so he had to sit out a year. He needed a place to live, and I had an extra room in my apartment."
Both big men have lived together since and have formed a great friendship off the court that includes a lot of chess and video games, Gerwig said.
After Kent State, Gerwig said he wants to play professionally at some level but does not have any concrete plans. He is a criminal justice major and is taking the only two classes he needs to graduate this semester – civil law and German.
The Flashes (22-7, 15-2 MAC) are next in action tomorrow at Akron (20-8, 13-4 MAC) for their last regular season game which will be shown on FSN Ohio. They have already secured the top seed and a first-round bye for the MAC Tournament. The Flashes will begin tournament play at 7 p.m. Thursday in Cleveland at Quicken Loans Arena.

Classes of 1954 and 1955 Golden Plus Reunion
"'Cause we ain't getting any younger"
Class of 1954 and 1955 Capitol Page School Reunion 2016
The 1954 and 1955 classes of Capital Page School (CPS) marked their "Golden-Plus" anniversaries recently in Cambridge, Maryland, thanks to classmate Donnie "Mike" Pokrinchak. One of the excursions was a trip to Smith Island in the Chesapeake Bay.
The celebrants include, from top left: Browne Greene, in from Santa Monica, California., via Las Vegas, where he represented his law firm at their national convention. Browne was one of the premiere basketball players of that area in the 50's. Next is Mrs. Jane Goodwin, who is a practicing field instructor in the art of firearms, then Bill Goodwin from Michigan. Bill is the sole survivor of the photo in Life Magazine of the Pages rescuing victims from the shooting by Puerto Rican protesters in the House of Representatives in 1954. Continuing, John Barrison and his wife Virginia traveled from California. John and Virginia operate several businesses including a farm. Mike Revell and his wife Jessica operate a land development company in Virginia. Mrs. Carol Easley and Rex Easley joined from Austin Texas, which explains the hat on Rex. Continuing, Mrs. June Quinn — who keeps Frank Quinn at the grindstone of their Mom-and-Pop auto electrical shop – with Frank shown down front. (Frank takes credit for arranging the trip to Smith Island to show the out-of-towners some of the history of the Chesapeake Bay.) Donnie (Mike) Pokrinchak, the organizer of the event and the "real organizer," his wife Mrs. Jean Pokrinchak. Don and Jean own and operate a land custom business in Pennsylvania. Mrs. Mary Cameron has a full-time job keeping Art in line and Art Cameron still practices law and is involved on Capitol Hill. Art seved as Treasurer and one of the five originators of the first CPS reunion in 2004, along with charter members George Trumpore (CPS-54, deceased) and his wife Sharon, Alan Smith (CPS-54), Jack Allen (CPS-54) and Mike Revell (CPS-55), The success of the 2004 Reunion inspired the future events organized by Ken Smith and Vance Morrison.

Pattaya School of Languages and Computers (PLC) is a private school in the resort city of Pattaya, in Thailand. The school was established in 1998 and is licensed by The Ministry of Education Thailand. PLC school was certified to ISO standards by The Private Education Commission in 2012. PLC School is located within the main city (central Pattaya), and is on a main road with easy car parking.
Pattaya is a multicultural city and an ideal location for expats or regular foreign visitors. It is a resort city and has an industry based on tourism and property development. Pattaya is not far from the capital Bangkok, the international airport and the main motorways, and has many world-class developments and brands in and around the city itself.
There are many beaches and local attractions, along with temples, modern shopping malls, markets, beauty salons, spas and traditional Thai massage parlours. It is very much a twenty-four hour society and shopping areas remain busy late into the night.
Pattaya is a safe city and has both regular police and tourist police to help foreigners with information and security. Hotels and condominiums also run their own security and access systems.
There are several modern and well equipped hospitals in Pattaya for any health issues or medical requirements, and there are many high street pharmacies that offer a complete range of medicines and health care products.
Pattaya is a diverse city and can offer something for families, young couples, tour groups, and single travellers. Many tourists visit Pattaya for holidays. Some foreigners stay long-term and invest in holiday homes or plan for retirement in Thailand.
Pattaya city has all the familiar brands, services and facilities to provide a home-from-home experience for residents and travellers. This also provides help and support for those travelling to Thailand for the first time.
Those working or living in Pattaya long-term have a comfortable environment along with all the benefits of a tropical climate, a favourable currency exchange rate, and the unique social experiences that are found in the culturally rich and diverse Thai society.
If you are considering spending more time in Pattaya or Thailand and want a useful and interesting way to occupy your time, PLC School can provide the answer. Long-term language courses, education visa support, teacher training courses (TEFL) are available if you enroll as a foreign student. Learning the Thai language to any extent gives you an advantage if you intend to stay long-term.
During your study, our experienced staff can help and answer any questions you may have about immigration issues, accommodation, travel, or any aspect of daily life in Pattaya.
Studying a language can help to improve your communication skills with local people, and becoming a foreign student also allows you to apply for a long-term education visa (valid for 6 months or 1 year each time). This gives you time to explore a new language and culture along with the benefits this can bring, and your stay is supported by a valid visa.
Applying for, or maintaining a visa for long-term stays or study in any foreign country can seem difficult, and this can be more frustrating if there are language issues. PLC School can offer the prefect solution to this situation that may also help with other aspects of your life in Pattaya.
Each Education Visa application will follow the general guidelines as shown below. However, there may be considerations in each case. Our friendly staff can help to make the application process as smooth as possible by confirming the correct documentation or addressing any issues for your application.
Courses are available as one-to-one, twin classes or group classes. The cost often depends on how many students there are per class. Group classes are the most cost-effective courses and provide a more social environment during class time. You can create your own private group, or join an existing open group.
As a holder of an education visa you will need to attend school for a specific number of hours per week. However, there is plenty of free time so you can study further at home or travel around and to get to know more about Thai culture. PLC School often organizes day trips and longer breaks that are open to all students as a part of a Thai Language and Culture program.
PLC School can provide a quote for your Education Visa package once your application requirements and course details are known. A few example costs are shown below as a general guide. PLC School recommends a visit to one of our branches in Pattaya to assess your application. If you are not in Pattaya (or Thailand), you can contact us by phone or send us a message.
All courses and education visas are subject to terms and conditions. Application and payments must be made in advance. Prices include admin and registration fees and are per person. The following information represents guidelines only and is subject to change without prior notice. All applications are assessed on a case by case basis and PLC reserves the right to refuse an application without providing a reason. Full terms and conditions are provided on application.
PLC School will post details of any visas updates here, or in the School reception areas when possible.
As a student, you must attend classes and provide a record of attendance for the Thai Immigration Bureau. You must also attend a set number of hours per week to maintain your education visa. Failure to follow the education visa requirements will result in the cancellation of the visa.
The first step is to decide which language course you would like to enroll for and the duration requirement for the Education Visa.
In some cases, the cost will depend on your learning requirements and level. A general language course is more in-depth than an Easy English or an Easy Thai course for example, and the more advanced levels can involve higher tuition costs. A placement test can be arranged to identify your current level if this is a consideration.
The language courses represented here are specifically designed for effective and enjoyable long-term language learning. You can choose to focus on the academic aspect, or the more social and practical side of learning a language. These particular courses are also ideal if you intend to apply for an education visa as each syllabus easily covers the required study time.
Other language and training courses at PLC School also offer Education Visa support and details are included within the relevant sections.
This is a group class open to all students.
Visa Options: 6 months or 1 Year. Full cost quoted on application.
Private one-to-one, twin, and private group classes.
This is an open group class (class theory covers a 5 week period).
Visa Options: 1 Year. Full cost quoted on application.
If you decide to enroll on a course and apply for an education visa, the next step is to consider the application process. The following is an outline of what's involved and depends on your current location.
PLC School can help and confirm the process and documents required. If you can prepare or have some of the items and documents mentioned below, the application process can begin (this is especially important if time is an issue).
12 passport sized photos of yourself with a white background.
Rental contract (condo, apartment, house) or proof of ownership.
3. After PLC School returns your documents, you can apply for your student visa at a Royal Thai Embassy in your own country or the Thai Embassy in Laos (Please note: your country of origin may not be accepted - please check with PLC). Applicants should be granted a non-immigrant, education class or Non-ED, which is the right type of visa for study purposes.
This visa will give you 90 days of stay when entering Thailand, but every 90 days you can extend for a new 90 day stay at an immigration office (at a cost of 1,900 Baht). No need to leave Thailand. You can do this for a year. We can advise you about the continuation process after one year.
Notice: India, China, Vietnam, Middle Eastern countries and some African countries need to return to their home country to receive a non-immigrant "ED" visa from their local Thai Embassy or consulate.
Please check with the Thai Embassy in your country first because some require further documents.
1. A scanned copy of every stamped page of your passport. Please add your signature to each copy. We will stamp over your signature - please allow enough space for this.
2. We will send a Personal History Check form and a PLC Registration form for you to fill in and return.
3. We need a recent passport sized photo with white background (a collared shirt or blouse should be worn for the photo) Email the photo to PLC and we will print it out here.
Once we have all the required documents, we will then complete the paperwork required to get a letter from the Education Department and provide a letter of acceptance. This may take up to 20 days to process.
After this, we will post all the documents back to you to take to the Thai Embassy/Consulate in your country. The postage and photo will be an additional cost of 1,600 THB or more - depending on location. Once we return the documents you will be required to attach new passport sized photos to the documents to give to the Thai embassy/consulate in your country. Allow a maximum of 10 days for postage.

• Fourteen rhesus monkeys, aged 1 to 24 years, underwent permanent implantation of a bipolar stimulating electrode into the Edinger-Westphal nucleus and complete unilateral or bilateral iridectomy. Slit-lamp Scheimpflug videography of the lens and slit-lamp goniovideography of the lens equator, zonule, and ciliary body allowed direct real-time observation and video recording of the movements of these structures during centrally stimulated accommodation and during disaccommodation. Scalloping of the lens capsule at the zonular insertion sites was clearly visible during disaccommodation and even during accommodation when the zonules were folded. During accommodation, the lens became axially thicker, the ciliary ring narrowed, and, at high levels of acommodation, the zonular fibers slackened and even folded and the lens moved downward. With increasing age and concomitantly decreasing accommodative amplitude, these excursions all diminished, so that in the oldest animals, they were very minimal or absent. Maximum centrally stimulated accommodative amplitude declined with age on a time scale similar to that for cholinomimetic drug-induced accommodation in the rhesus monkey and voluntary accommodation in the human.
