The experience of being “in the zone” is often used to describe a cognitive state of mind known as flow. A person enters a state of flow when highly engaged with a task, often losing track of time and enjoying a high level of success.
Cesar Torres, assistant professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department at The University of Texas at Arlington, has recently received a grant of approximately $175,000 from the National Science Foundation to use machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to identify when a person is falling out of flow and introduce an intervention to regain flow.

Collectively, and on their own, these musicians have broken stereotypes about Country and Americana music being only about straight romance gone wrong. Through their multi-faceted songwriting, they bring new perspectives with some traditional twang. This year I curated a show called The Future is. Queer Country, wrote Cindy Emch in her newsletter. It showcases a diverse group of mother-trucking queer country rock stars.
