There’s something perfect and pleasing about lingering over a cup of coffee and a freshly printed newspaper early in the morning.
In a new short film, Morning Copy, Greg and Dan Martino try to capture the essence of those few hours before the rest of the world wakes up.
“This Island is hungry for another Jaws,” Greg said over coffee this week at Espresso Love in Edgartown. He and his brother Dan are hungry to be the ones who make that happen.
“There should have been a hundred more movies like it,” Greg said.
Leads Symposium
Dr. Bryan Graham, a certified chiropractic sports physician, cochaired this year’s American chiropractic board of sports physicians’ national symposium held from April 8 to 10 in Boston. The board promotes the highest standards of excellence and clinical competence for chiropractors specializing in sports medicine and physical fitness. Dr. Graham practices at Vineyard Complementary Medicine.
The title was potentially daunting: A Lecture on Relativity and Related Topics for a General Audience.
And while the topic was well outside my bailiwick, the phrase “for a general audience” assured me I was in good company.
First Aid, CPR Training
American Red Cross, Cape Cod and Islands Chapter, will hold an adult CPR/AED and first aid class on April 16 at the YMCA. The course covers knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize and provide basic care for cardiac and breathing emergencies and Automatic External Defibrillator (AED) use. The CPR/AED certification is valid for two years as is the first aid certification. All students will receive training manuals and certification cards.
The theory of relativity is a tough one to wrap your head around. Something about time and space and perhaps even a spacetime continuum thrown in. Something to do with all of this being relative too. But to what?
That pounding in the head is ignorance landing a heavy blow.
But there is no need to leave all the fun to Einstein and the physicists anymore. This Saturday, April 9 from 1 to 3 p.m. Dr. Eric Brodheim is coming to the Vineyard to put a down-to-earth spin on this complex theory.
