Mesmerized: The Lasting Legacy of an 18th-Century Health Fad

You probably know what it feels like to be mesmerized. What you might not know is that the word comes from a wild, 18th-Century health fad that swept Europe, featuring a cast of history's most famous characters. But this story is more than a fascinating historical anecdote. It's a timeless reminder of just how easily our minds can be tricked. We carry access to all of humanity’s knowledge—and nonsense—in our pockets, making today's real challenge separating fact from noise. After spending decades in the college biology classroom, **Melanie Trecek-King** created Thinking Is Power—a twist on "knowledge is power"—to provide accessible tools that empower individuals to spot deceptive tactics and build the self-awareness needed to recognize their own vulnerabilities. Today, Trecek-King works with diverse audiences—including educators, business professionals, and cybersecurity experts—to help people think more clearly, avoid misinformation, and have more productive conversations. She creates and leads workshops that equip youth with media literacy skills, counter extremist narratives, and prevent online radicalization. She also designs engaging activities for educators to help students learn how misinformation works… by creating their own fun examples. Trecek-King teaches at Massasoit Community College, is a columnist for *Skeptical Inquirer*, and a Fellow of the Committee for Skeptical Inquiry. **Admission: $10, or FREE for CFI Members.** Membership is $60/year.

Spicy Dogs Club (East Hollywood)

**🌶️🌶️🐾 Spicy Dogs Club – Real World Training Group** Led weekly by Shakinah from Tully’s Training Life doesn’t happen in a training class—it happens out in the world. This small group is designed to give reactive (“spicy”) dogs and their humans the chance to practice skills together in real-life settings, like moving through a busy market or park. You’ll get hands-on coaching, structured exercises, and the support of a community that understands. This location is **MEDIUM/HOT!** 🌶 🌶 Best for spicy dogs ready to level up their training around real-world distractions — think busy walkways, other leashed dogs, loud sounds, kids on the move, with some open spaces. This class is unique for our spicy clubs as we will have a rotating group of our talented Tully's trainers teaching this location. If your dog is working on being comfortable around new people, this class is for you! **Agenda:** * 👋 Welcome & introductions * 🎯 Structured reactivity exercises to build confidence and neutrality * 💬 Q&A + discussion: homework, common challenges, and shared strategies **What to Bring:** * 🐶 Your dog (on a secure, non-retractable leash and flat collar or harness) * 💧 Water for you and your pup * 🍖 A mix of treats (don’t forget some *high-value* ones for tough moments) * 🎒 Treat bag (super handy, but not required) **How to Find Us:** We'll meet at the far corner of the first parking lot you come to, then we will do a structured sniff walk up to a safe open space for training. If you are late or have trouble finding us please text or call Shakinah 406-366-4349 **Additional Info:** * You'll need to purchase one entry 'ticket' per dog. Cost is not per person. * You'll need to be approved by a TT team member before this class.

Join the Los Angeles Ultimate Werewolf Game Meetup Group for a fun-filled evening of social deduction games! And now introducing thanks to our Blood Moderator Trevor: # 🩸 Blood on the Clocktower 🩸 **Blood on the Clocktower** is a social deduction board game where players take on secret roles in a haunted village. Most players are **good**, trying to identify and execute the hidden **Demon**, while a small **evil team** works together to deceive the town and eliminate players each night. Unlike games like *Werewolf* or *Mafia*, eliminated players **stay in the game**—they can continue discussing, voting, and influencing the outcome until the very end. Every player also has a unique character with a special ability, creating endless strategy, bluffing, and unforgettable moments. Whether you're a veteran or you've never played before, you're welcome! New players are encouraged to arrive a little early for a rules explanation before the first game begins. If you enjoy strategy games, deception, psychology, or trying to read people, you'll love Blood on the Clocktower. Come ready to lie, investigate, persuade... and maybe save the town.

We will be playing both CASHFLOW® 101 and 202. For those who have not played it, CASHFLOW® 202 teaches those more experienced players advanced business and investing techniques used by technical investors by adding volatility to the game. It teaches the investment techniques of "short-selling stock", "put-options", "call-options", "straddles" and real estate exchanges. By playing the Cashflow board game, we can begin to truly learn how the money game is played and begin to change our thinking about what actions we need to take in order to truly be financially free. If you desire to promote your business, network with like minded individuals and learn the skills for building lifelong passive income streams you desire, this is your group. Who's Leading the Cashflow Games? Douglas Carver, Club Co-organizer Doug leads Cashflow 101. As an active local Realtor (*[www.LivingInWestLA.com](www.livinginwestla.com)*) and full time stock trader and investor, he loves helping people achieve their financial goals whether it be buying/ selling real estate or investing in the stock market. Chris Hanson, Club Co-organizer Chris leads Cashflow 202. He left his corporate job in 2002 to trade his own money full-time. Over the years, enough people kept saying, "show me how", so he developed "Profits On Wall Street". It's an educational firm specializing in teaching investors how to trade stocks and options. Learn more about him at *[www.ProfitsOnWallStreet.com](www.profitsonwallstreet.com)* 95% of achieving & maintaining time freedom is about the "how to think"...only about 5% is about the "how to do". He hosts a podcast called Investing From The Beach, where he discusses the "How to Think" aspects of achieving time freedom. The show can be found on iTunes or at *[www.InvestingFromTheBeach.com](www.investingfromthebeach.com)* I personally look forward to personally meeting you at our next event. Regards, Doug
