In this episode, Lola speaks with Mamta Jain Valderrama, born in Memphis, TN, and raised in southern California. She is the youngest of three and her parents are immigrants. She grew up in a duality - navigating her American identity and her Asian-Indian background. Mamta and her sister are identical twins (Mamta is 11 minutes younger. It counts!), Society around her constantly bundled her and her twin into one identity. Mamta was eager to cultivate her own sense of self so at her first opportunity, she moved to the East Coast while her family stayed in California. From a young age through early adulthood, Mamta's father told her she wouldn't amount to much. The upside of an otherwise painful childhood was that it fueled her ambition. Not to disprove her father, but to validate her value to herself. Traveling to Africa, Asia, Europe, and Australia in her 20s and 30s gave her a lot of confidence. Earning promotions at work and making decisions helped her believe in herself. It took Mamta a long time to be comfortable in her own skin. Once she got there, her career accelerated, and she took on more and more responsibility as a global operations leader. She has turned around two companies (1 startup and 1 nonprofit) and scaled three companies (1 Fortune 500, 1 tech startup, 1 nonprofit). She wrote a bestselling book and toured across America. The most common feedback is “I stayed up all night reading. I couldn't put it down.” Rewarding and humbling. She is married to a man who encourages their daughter. Her past direct reports say they want to follow her wherever she goes next. In this episode, we explore into: How a non-linear career journey, from journalism to healthcare sales and operations, pursuing an MBA, and writing a novel during a career break. Embracing being "the only" in professional settings, owning unique perspectives, and building and maintaining professional relationships. What workplace improvements shifted the dynamic for immigrant professionals and allowed for more people to step into and own who they are. Using practical tools like CRM software and LinkedIn for managing professional relationships and personal branding. Combining intentional networking, balancing assertiveness in self-advocacy, and LinkedIn strategy to grow your career.

China on Monday refrained from commenting on US President Joe Biden's decision to exit the presidential race.7月22日，外交部在例行记者会上就美国现任总统拜登宣布退出2024年美国总统竞选一事回应：不作评论。"The US election is an internal affair of the US", said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning."No comment," Mao replied when asked about China's reaction to Biden's exit.当被问及中国对于拜登推出总统选举的回应时，外交部发言人毛宁表示：“美国大选是美国内政，我们不作评论。”After nearly a month of mounting pressure from his own party, Biden dropped his reelection bid on Sunday and endorsed Vice-President Kamala Harris to head the Democratic ticket in November.在民主党内部的强大压力下，美国现任总统拜登7月21日宣布退出2024年总统竞选，并支持提名副总统哈里斯为民主党总统候选人。"It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your president," he wrote in a letter posted to social media. "And while it has been my intention to seek re-election, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and focus entirely on fulfilling my duties as president for the remainder of my term."拜登当天在社交媒体上发表声明称，他原本打算寻求连任，但为了民主党和国家的最佳利益，他决定退出竞选，并专注于履行总统剩余任期内的职责。Biden's endorsement for Harris came in a subsequent post on X.拜登随后又发文表示将全力支持哈里斯为民主党总统候选人。"Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year," Biden said in a post to X on Sunday. "Democrats — it's time to come together and beat Trump."7月21日，拜登在社交媒体X上发文称：“今天，我想全力支持和认可卡玛拉成为民主党总统候选人。民主党——是时候团结起来打败特朗普了。”"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party — and our nation — to defeat Donald Trump," said Harris, adding that she was honored to have Biden's endorsement and wrote on X that "my intention is to earn and win this nomination".“我很荣幸能够得到总统的支持，我的目的是赢得这项提名。”哈里斯表示，“我将尽我所能团结民主党，团结我们的国家，击败特朗普和他那极端的2025计划议程。”The Democratic candidate, who will be nominated at the Democratic National Convention, which starts on Aug 19 in Chicago, will face Trump, 78, the Republican nominee and former president.这位民主党候选人将在8月19日于芝加哥举行的民主党全国代表大会上获得提名，她将面对的是78岁的共和党候选人、美国前总统特朗普。Biden, 81, whose term ends on Jan 20, 2025, said he will address the nation about his decision later this week. He is the first sitting US president to not seek reelection since Lyndon B. Johnson in March 1968.81岁的拜登将于2025年1月20日结束美国总统任期，他表示将在本周就他的决定向全美国发表讲话。美国历史上曾有多位在任总统放弃连任，上一位是1968年3月的的林登·约翰逊（Lyndon B. Johnson）。"Should she win the nomination, the nation will watch a multiracial woman compete in a presidential general election for the first time in history," Debbie Walsh, director at the Center for American Women & Politics, said of Harris, 59, who is of Jamaican and Asian Indian descent.哈里斯有着亚裔及非裔血统。美国妇女与政治中心主任黛比·沃尔什（Debbie Walsh）谈到59岁的哈里斯时说：“如果成功获得提名，她将成为美国历史上第一位融合血统的女性参加总统大选。”Harris previously served as a US senator from California and as California attorney general.哈里斯此前曾担任过此前她曾担任加利福尼亚州总检察长和加利福尼亚州联邦参议员等职务。She immediately got to work shoring up her support on Sunday, and as the evening wore on she appeared to be quickly building momentum. The North Carolina and South Carolina delegates pledged their support to her on Sunday evening as did a growing list of Democratic governors and members of Congress.7月21日，哈里斯立即开始为总统候选人提名进行准备工作，以获更多支持。当时晚，南北卡罗来纳州的代表表示支持哈里斯，越来越多的民主党州长和国会议员也对其表示支持。While Biden did endorse Harris, her nomination is not guaranteed, and there could be a rare open convention, also referred to as a "floor fight". There also had been talk of Democrats selecting a nominee virtually before the convention.尽管哈里斯得到拜登等人的“背书”，但这并不意味着她可以自动获得民主党总统候选人的提名，此后可能举行一场公开会议（总统辩论）。也有传言称，民主党在大会召开前已选择了一名候选人。But Representative Nanette Barragán of California, the chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, who said she spoke with Harris on Sunday, said the vice-president wants to forego a virtual roll call for the nomination process and instead hold a process that adheres to regular order.美国国会拉美裔核心小组主席、加利福尼亚州民主党众议员纳内特·巴拉甘（Nanette Barragán）已于7月21日与哈里斯进行了交谈，她表示，哈里斯希望放弃提名过程的虚拟提名，按照正常流程进行投票。Harris needs the backing of 1,969 of the 3,936 Democratic delegates to secure her nomination, Reuters reported.据路透社报道，3936名民主党代表将于8月19日至22日在芝加哥举行会议，选出民主党的提名人。哈里斯须要获得1969人的支持，才能确保获得提名。"Biden does not control his delegates: He cannot tell them whom to vote for next month. And party politics being what it is, they are most likely to go with whomever they think has the best chance to defeat Mr. Trump," The New York Times reported on Sunday.据《纽约时报》7月21日报道，“拜登并不能控制其代表，他无法告诉他们下个月给谁投票。而政党就是如此，他们将与其认为最有可能打败特朗普的人合作。”Among the names mentioned as other potential Democratic presidential candidates are governors Gavin Newsom of California, Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan, Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania, J.B. Pritzker of Illinois and Andy Beshear of Kentucky.其他民主党总统候选人包括加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森（Gavin Newsom）、密歇根州州长格雷琴·惠特默（Gretchen Whitmer）、宾夕法尼亚州州长乔什·夏皮罗（Josh Shapiro）、伊利诺伊州州长杰·罗伯特·普利兹克（J.B. Pritzker）和肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔（Andy Beshear）。Although Newsom wrote on X on Sunday: "With our democracy at stake and our future on the line, no one is better to prosecute the case against Donald Trump's dark vision and guide our country in a healthier direction than America's Vice President, @KamalaHarris."7月21日，加利福尼亚州州长纽森在社交媒体X上发文称：“在我们的民主受威胁和未来岌岌可危情况下，没人比美国副总统哈里斯更适合控诉特朗普的黑暗愿景，带领我们国家迈向更健康的方向。Whitmer and Beshear issued statements praising Biden but did not mention Harris.惠特默和贝希尔发表声明称赞拜登，并未提及哈里斯。Biden and Harris together had raised a massive campaign war chest of $240 million through various entities as of June 30, according to the Times.据《泰晤士报》报道，截至6 月 30 日，拜登和哈里斯共同筹集了 2.4 亿美元的竞选资金。ActBlue, a Democratic fundraising platform, announced it had collected $46.7 million as of 9 pm ET from small-dollar donations for Harris' campaign.据拜登—哈里斯竞选团队使用的小额捐款平台ActBlue称，截至美东时间晚9时，一共已处理4670万美元筹款。Media reports circulated last week that Biden would step down on Sunday, but the stories lost steam as Biden angrily dismissed them.上周有媒体报道称拜登将于7月21日下台，但彼时拜登愤怒地驳斥这些报道，称将继续参选。Biden's political fortunes began to crumble after his dismal performance in a debate with Trump on June 27. Gaffes in subsequent interviews and appearances led to more doubts about whether he should continue.拜登在6月27日与特朗普的辩论中被认为表现不佳，在随后的采访和几次公开露面中的发言失误也导致了人们怀疑其是否继续参选。Former president Barack Obama praised Biden, his former vice-president, in a statement on Medium.com on Sunday, saying Biden "wouldn't make this decision unless he believed it was right for America".前总统奥巴马周日在Medium的一份声明中称赞了拜登：“除非拜登认为这对美国是正确的，否则不会做出这个决定。”Obama said Biden "pointed us away from the four years of chaos, falsehood, and division that had characterized Donald Trump's administration"."We will be navigating uncharted waters in the days ahead. But I have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges."奥巴马写道，拜登曾说：“我们远离了唐纳德·特朗普政府四年来的混乱、谎言和分裂……在接下来的日子里，我们将在未知的水域航行，但我对民主党有非凡的信心，他们将能够创造一个过程，从中产生一位杰出的候选人。”Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr, in comments from his family compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts, said neither party will address what he considers the major issues facing the US.作为独立人士的总统候选人小罗伯特·弗朗西斯·肯尼迪（Robert F. Kennedy Jr）在马萨诸塞州海恩尼斯港（Hyannis Port）的肯尼迪家族庄园表示，民主和共和党都无法解决他认为美国目前面临的主要问题。Democratic National Conventionn.民主党全国大会

This lecture was recorded on April 29, 2023, as part of the 2023 Asian American Theology Conference "Multiple Belongings in Transpacific Christianities: Christian Faith and Asian Migration to the US." Find out more about the conference here: https://pts.events/events/aat-2023-mbtc/. Introduction by Dr. Easten Law. Abstract: Migration is changing and revitalizing the religious and cultural landscape of the US. The mushrooming of places of worship by and for immigrants of every religious persuasion stands as an example of such a seismic change. The change of the US immigration laws in 1965 made it possible for Asian Indians to arrive in large numbers. Ethnic Asian Indian congregations formed by first-generation immigrants tried to recreate the worship experience of their home to find stability amid their disruptive and unsettling immigration experience. The second generation, who are born and raised in diasporic context, find the liturgy, worship, and preaching of first generation churches less suitable for their own spiritual experience and growth. The ongoing migration of Asian Indians to the US in parallel with the continued growth of the second generation results in a persistent tension between first and second generations as both generations seek fidelity to God with expressions of faith and worship that make sense for them. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ptscaac/message

This is the continuation of last week's episode with Celia from LA to talk about their career and passion to educate, empower, and advocate for gender-expansive individuals in the community and corporate world.  This is the last part of a three-part piece.  Trigger Warning: This is just a reminder that this episode comes with a content warning. This is simple to empower you, our audience, with the knowledge you need to make healthy decisions about how and if you should consume this podcast content.  Celia discusses a frightening incident where her life was in danger. As a transwoman, she felt scared of the potential violence, and mostly terrified of the powerlessness.  As a vulnerable marginalized group, transgender people need to go the extra mile to find safety, both physically and psychologically. Tiffany also shares a disturbing episode from a man who expressed violent rage where she claims if she hadn't acted quickly could have been her last. Such stories are told to inspire even after terrifying episodes in one's life, you can find hope and strength. In 2017, Celia finally came out and her equity dropped in her career as people began to doubt her ability as a woman. She began to face heavy discrimination in various ways as she transitioned. However, this motivated her to create her organization to educate and support the transgender community. And when it comes to activism fatigue, she prays, spends time in nature, watches comedy, and finds a therapist to overcome this. She also mentioned the importance of managing one's micro-aggressions from past traumas.  Celia leaves us a message that you are never worthless no matter what tragedies you face, and to reach out for support. You are not alone as there is always someone out there who will lend you a hand.  ~~~Celia Sandhya Daniels is an entrepreneur, motivational speaker, D&I champion, blogger, composer, musician, photographer, hiker, and filmmaker.

This is the continuation of last week's episode with the impressive Celia Sandhya Daniels from India to talk about their career and passion to educate, empower, and advocate for gender-expansive individuals in the community and corporate world.  This is part TWO of a three-part piece.We begin the discussion around Celia's 26 years of marriage, on what held it together for such a long time. Celia's wife is someone who shows care and empathy toward others. Once Celia came out, she listened to Celia's desire to support her community and felt that God had made her trans for a reason. Celia's wife asked that they not keep secrets and talk openly to each other. Celia expresses that relationships mean doing what the other enjoys, showing interest, and taking care of each other while finding common ground. They mention how simple things can blossom in a marriage. We learn what Celia's parenting is like, and the support their daughter offers as one of their biggest ally. Celia is hopeful for the next generation who show acceptance and support for the LGBTQIA+ community. The topic jumps to one of Celia's videos around cross-dressing. We learn about Tri-Ess, a community for heterosexual cross-dressers with their partners, families, etc, and the importance of addressing Gender Dysphoria which is a spectrum, and using ‘Gender Fluid' over ‘Cross-dresser' which can be seen as an outdated term.  Celia advises us “to not be someone else's journey and to treat yourself appropriately”. She adds, it's not ‘who' you are but what you do in life that matters. In our next episode, Celia will share her story about a life-threatening experience.

For this week, we have the impressive Celia Sandhya Daniels from India to talk about their career and passion to educate, empower, and advocate for gender-expansive individuals in the community and corporate world.  This is PART one of a three-part piece.Trigger Warning: Sexual assault, Child abuse, Violence, Transphobia, Homophobia, Gender Dysphoria, Suicidal ideationWe dive into Celia's life in five dimensions, Dreaming, Doubt, Denial, Discovery, and Destiny. Firstly, Celia as a child dreamt to be a girl. However, as she was growing up the fear of being bullied forced them to hide their identity. Celia reveals the sexual abuse she encountered and the shame, fear, and trauma she faced alone. We learn of Celia's doubts about her being a trans-lesbian and violence in 9th grade that is commonly practiced in India. This traumatic experience led Celia to struggle with living and in denial of her existence. Once married, Celia had assumed that being with a wife would somehow "fix" her. Celia eventually began attending therapy where there was a  lack of knowledge on transgender identity. Later she began to discover herself while struggling with gender dysphoria. Today, she is open with her family and finds acceptance.

As I read these words today, I want to reflect on my time with the members of Argentine Mennonite Church and the practical ways you have expressed your faith in Jesus Christ. There are many things I could share but let me highlight a few. Firstly, this congregation has been one of the most diverse congregations I have ever come across. AMC has had people who are rich and poor, Caucasian, African American, Hispanic, Asian Indian, educated and not so educated, traditionally Mennonite and completely non-Mennonite, young and old, formally dressed and informally dressed, able bodied and disabled. I can't think of a category of people that AMC has not been able to welcome. To have diversity in a large congregation is easy. But to have diversity in a small congregation means that anytime you have a handful of people together you have diversity even in that setting. That is what we had here at AMC.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: 2022 Survey Results, published by Screwtape on March 8, 2023 on LessWrong. The Data 0. Population There were 186 respondents over 28 days. The first week of the survey got 172 responses.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: 2014 Survey Results, published by Scott Alexander on the AI Alignment Forum. Thanks to everyone who took the 2014 Less Wrong Census/Survey. Extra thanks to Ozy, who did a lot of the number crunching work. This year's results are below. Some of them may make more sense in the context of the original survey questions, which can be seen here. Please do not try to take the survey as it is over and your results will not be counted. I. Population There were 1503 respondents over 27 days. The last survey got 1636 people over 40 days. The last four full days of the survey saw nineteen, six, and four responses, for an average of about ten. If we assume the next thirteen days had also gotten an average of ten responses - which is generous, since responses tend to trail off with time - then we would have gotten about as many people as the last survey. There is no good evidence here of a decline in population, although it is perhaps compatible with a very small decline. II.

#KamalaHarris is energizing quite a few “minority” intersections within the electorate as #JoeBiden’s VP pick. She’s a woman and an HBCU graduate (Howard University). She’s also “Black” (Jamaican), “Asian” (Indian) and “Greek”...and by “Greek”, I mean she’s a member of a Greek-lettered organization. In addition to the ethnic and educational diversity Harris brings to the Biden ticket, her membership in Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc (AKA) is also a major selling point amongst some minority voters. As the first Black Greek-lettered organization (BGLO), AKA has strong ties in the Black community as well as in the wider political, business, and even religious arenas. Yet, a growing number of Christians are renouncing their membership in this organization and other BGLOs. But why? Find out in this Relevant Replay as we revisit our season 1 interview with Lily J, who renounced her letters in AKA after she became a Believer in Christ.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks… Let’s get started!    Susanne:Hi! The last year I have been getting tons of Cherry Angiomas appearing on my skin. I have no idea what the root cause might be. What makes them appear? What is the root cause? I am not pregnant or on birth control. If you had them, or they started appearing on your skin, Dr. Cabral, what would you do yourself to prevent getting more of them? Jennette: Hello, I finished the CBO protocol at the end of May but then I developed these small dry red patches under my eyes and on my right eye lid. I have been applying colloidal silver ointment which helps to clear it up but if I stop, it just comes back. it gets dry and flaky and someone was saying that it is eczema. I've never had this before and wondered what could be causing it? Valeria: Based off your podcasts on the emf vibrations impacting human vibration which can cause illness like cancer whats your take on fat loss ultrasonic devices? Tina: I am a personal trainer (who also thinks like a functional medicine practitioner!) and am working with a client who was recently diagnosed with sarcoidosis. Her health provider helped her link the root cause to exposure to bat or/and chicken manure. What are the essential next steps for this client? And if steroids are recommended, is this the best answer? Morgan: hi! what would you recommend for someone who has liver and colon cancer? Just wasn't sure which products to start with. thanks! Mishan: Hi Dr. Cabral! I'm so grateful to you for everything you do - you have changed my life for the best and I cannot thank you enough. My question is this - my aunt has rheumatoid arthritis and has been on steroids and biological meds for 30 years now. She does not want my help from IHP training, and instead she's considering stem cell treatment since she heard it "eliminates inflammation." I've understood that stem cells act more like anti-inflammatory substances in the body and do not address root causes. Can you speak about how stem cells work for RA - do they eliminate the root cause of the autoimmunity or are they still a bandaid approach? Thank you!! Kim: Hello Dr. Cabral, my name is Kim and I am 52 and have had Juvenile Type 1 Diabetes for 36 years. I have worn a insulin pump for the past 15 years. My last A1C was 6.1 and I fluctuates on my A1C between 5.7 to 6.3. I have been Keto for a year and half now and feel it has really helped with my blood sugars. I do IF daily for about 14-16 hours and eat 2 meals a day. I eat very clean with an occasional cheat meal or dessert for birthdays or holidays. I also belong to a gym and work out 3-4 days a week. My question is you don't recommend the keto diet and you encourage 3 meals a day and the first meal of the day being a smoothie. How does a diabetic adapt to that way of eating without needing added insulin? I keep my carbs below 50grams a day . I have food sensitivities to dairy and eggs and shell fish. I am also post menopausal and have digestive issues. I am not overweight I am 5'6 and weight 140 wear a size 6 in clothes. But I don't feel 100%. I wake up stiff and achy and actually dread going to bed because i do not sleep well and toss and turn all night do to aches and pains. Would love to hear you do an episode or 2 on Type 1 diabetes. Raj: Dear All,  I am keen undertaking the IHP training course offered by Dr Stephen Cabral and also would like to take the Big '5' Lab test. I love to workout and play football, go running, carry-out yoga and hit work outs regularly. I am from an Asian-Indian background, my father has Type 2 diabetes (is not too overweight but is heavy around the stomach) and mother is marginally obese but has never been diagnosed with anything. I would like to avoid this in the future. Before I go ahead, can you please tell me how I can prepare for tests and which tests I may need to improve my fitness and health. Although I am not a severe case but I do have mild symptoms of anxiety and depression (currently lowering medication off Sertraline). I have also taken live bacteria, to try and combat any bad bacteria. Diet has now changed to plain rice, carrot juice, loads of veg and salad and fish. However too much salad causes diarrhoea. I would really like to get better and help myself, so one day I can help others. I hope you can help me.   Thank you for tuning into this weekend’s Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - - Show Notes & Resources:  http://StephenCabral.com/1311 - - - Dr. Cabral's New Book, The Rain Barrel Effect https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: http://CabralSupportGroup.com - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular Supplements: > “The Dr. Cabral Daily Protocol” (This is what Dr. Cabral does every day!) - - - > Dr. Cabral Detox  (The fastest way to get well, lose weight, and feel great!) - - - > Daily Nutritional Support Shake  (#1 “All-in-One recommendation in my practice) - - - > Daily Fruit & Vegetables Blend  (22 organic fruit & vegetables “greens powder”) - - - > CBD Oil  (Full-spectrum, 3rd part-tested & organically grown) - - - > Candida/Bacterial Overgrowth, Leaky Gut, Parasite & Speciality Supplement Packages - - - > See All Supplements: https://equilibriumnutrition.com/collections/supplements  - - -   Dr. Cabral’s Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Organic Acids Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Thyroid + Adrenal + Hormone Test  (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Adrenal + Hormone Test (Run your adrenal & hormone levels) - - - > Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Omega-3 Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - > Stool Test (Use this test to uncover any bacterial, h.

Intro Hello and welcome to Books Between -  a podcast for teachers, parents, librarians, and anyone who wants to connect kids between 8-12 to books they’ll love. I’m your host, Corrina Allen - 5th grade teacher, a mom of two girls (10 and 12), and muddling through some allergies. So if you are wondering why I sound “off” - we can blame all those plants trying to have babies!  A quick reminder before we get started that you can find transcripts and interview outlines of every episode - along with lots of other great middle great content over at MGBookVillage.org. This is episode #73 and today’s show starts off with a discussion about strong endings to the school year and then I share with you a conversation with Tina Athaide- author of Orange for the Sunsets. Main Topic - Finishing the Year Strong Our main topic today is ending the school year with your students with strength and purpose. And wrapping up those final weeks together in a way that allows for both reflection on their reading lives and a way to step forward into a summer that builds on the successes of the previous year. It’s like the school year is the runway and the summer is the solo flight after take-off! If you haven’t been building those reading habits all year long, then… well that lift off is going to fall flat.  But - there are some things that we can do to plan for a strong transition from that supportive classroom reading community to a strong independent reading life. For me, my school year up here in New York doesn’t end for another five weeks but lots of my friends are already wrapping up their school year so I thought it would be a good time to discuss this topic. And whether you are a parent, or a librarian, or a teacher there will be something in today’s show that you will find useful. First, we’ll talk building in time for reflection and what that can look like. Then, I’ll discuss some ways for students to celebrate and share the reading they’ve enjoyed during the past school year. And finally, I’ll chat about how to usher them into summer with a solid reading plan and hopefully some books in their hands. Reflection One of the most effective ways to cap off your school year is with some time for reflection and feedback. And there are a few options for you to consider. A student survey for YOU to grow as a teacher. So this would involve asking your students questions to help get feedback to help you improve. These  questions might be - What was your favorite read aloud this year?  What strategies helped you grow the most as a reader? Did you prefer partner reading or book clubs and why? What types of reading responses helped you get the most of your reading?  Should we read more nonfiction? What books should we get for our classroom library? Pernille Ripp uses these types of surveys exceptionally well, and I’ll link to her website to get some ideas for you to try and to tweak. It’s also really important that students get the opportunity to write about and discuss their own reading habits and growth - for their own self-reflection. In that case, since the purposes are very different, the questions you ask your students will be different. And if you’ve helped them build that habit of keeping good track of their reading, this will be a thousand times easier. These questions might be along the lines of - How many books did you read this year? How does that compare to last year?  Of the books you’ve read, how many were non-fiction? How many were graphic novels? Written by a person of color? Written by a man? Were historical fiction? What was your favorite book you’ve read? How many books did you abandon and why? Those questions that dig a bit deeper are so powerful - especially when given the opportunity to share those thoughts with others. Another way that you can have your students doing some powerful thinking and reflection about the books they are offered is by guiding them through a diversity audit of your classroom collection or library. If you want details about this, I’ve discussed it in more depth in episode 28 (which I will link to in the show notes), but I highly recommend you try this at least one time with your class. And it doesn’t have to be an analysis of all the books in your library. Maybe it’s just a 15 minute check of the biographies together with two or three guiding questions.  At the end of the year -it’s all about using the time you have flexibly and well. A great self-reflection method I just bumped into again recently was Pernille Ripp’s post (called “On Reading Rewards”) about having students create an award for themselves to celebrate their own achievement - whether that’s reading 35 books, or discovering a new genre, or just finding one book they really liked. I’ll link to her post with the full description and to the site where you can get those free Reading Certificate templates for students.   Celebration & Sharing Along with opportunities for self-reflection and thinking about their own reading accomplishments during the previous year, I think it’s also so important to give students a chance to show off those accomplishments! One educator that I follow on Twitter (Cassie Thomas - @mrs_cmt1489), had her students gather a stack of every book they’ve read during the year and took a picture of them with that book stack! What  powerful way to see how what a year’s worth of reading looks like! Another popular (and powerful) way to have students both reflect on their reading and share it, is to have them create a top ten (or so) list. I’ve absolutely modified that to a Top 5 or Top 3 list for those kiddos who were rather daunted by coming up with ten titles.  It could be something as simple as the Top 10 Books I’ve Read This Year. Or maybe Top 5 Sports Books, 7 Books To Make You Laugh, Top 8 Books That Made Me Cry, Top 10 Books If You Like History - really the options are endless! And lend themselves well to having those quick finishers make a couple of them. In a recent video by Colby Sharp, he mentioned that he has his class share the lists with him in a Google doc where he complies them, prints out all the lists, and then sends the lists home with the kids for the summer!  So if they are ever looking for a book suggestion, they have a ton of options from their classmates right on hand. I’m definitely doing that this year! (I’ll link to Colby’s video so you can check out his other ideas.) A third way to celebrate and share their reading? One-pagers! If you have not tried these yet - the end of the year is the perfect time!  Essentially, students go into greater depth with one of their favorite books by creating a one-page presentation. Typically they are very colorful and include strong visual elements to illuminate aspects of the book like drawings of symbols, characters, or representations of the book cover.  And the sections depend on your goals - often things like a character analysis, favorite quote, rating, or summary. My students really loved doing these and even had the idea of hanging some in our local public library. And I recently came across a great episode of The Cult of Pedagogy Podcast with guest Betsy Potash that offers some great tips and templates to use. I’ll also include a link directly to Betsy’s site if you want to see those great examples and snag those templates. One other idea to help students celebrate and share their reading is to harness the technology skills they’ve already practiced during the year for that purpose. For example, if your students are already using Flipgrid, have them use that tool to do a book talk for a favorite book, share their top ten list, or discuss patterns they noticed about their reading during the past year. If the kids are more comfortable with SeeSaw, they could do similar things with the video tool or do some annotating of their favorite books and make booksnaps about favorite books or characters.  Powerpoint or Google Slides has some cool features - especially to make charts and graphs. One piece of advice here - use technology that they are already familiar with and can work independently on. That way, while they are working, you can take care of those important, time-consuming end-of-the-year tasks like conducting final running records on each student or wrapping up some final scoring on assignments.   A Plan & Books in Their Hands The final - and maybe most important thing that you can do to better your odds at a successful launch from the supported reading life you’ve provided to your students to  taking their reading life into their own hands is to actually have them leave you with something in their hands. Namely - a plan and at least one book. A summer reading plan: Let’s talk about the plan first. This could be a formal, written plan - but honestly, at the end of the year that might be just a little too structured for summer. Instead, I like to share various ideas and options for kids to boost their reading life over the summer. And then have us all share with each other how to overcome some common obstacles. So here’s what that will look like for our class over the next couple of weeks before school ends: Creating their summer TBR list. Maybe this is based on the Top 10 Lists your class presented or maybe they build a TBR list during a trip to the library, but having that piece of paper is really helpful. Invite our wonderful children’s librarian from our local public library to come in and share with our class the awesome summer programs they have planned.  If the timing doesn’t work out for them to travel, a virtual Google Hangout visit or Skype could work, too. Our local library also used to allow for off-site library card sign-ups so check into that as well. Give the kids a list of any summer reading programs or activities you can find in your community.  Does your local bookstore have any cool book signings or summer events planned? Is there a Children’s Book Festival happening?  Does your community have a traveling library? Is there a summer book club offered at your school? Where are the locations of the Little Free Libraries in your  area? Will the local library have a booth at the Pride Festival this June? (Mine will!!!!) Introduce them to some virtual spaces where they can get reading ideas and share their reading life.  If they are old enough for social media (13 years old) - perhaps share some accounts to follow. Or encourage them to sign up for a Goodreads account. But honestly - they are most likely going to be on YouTube. So a list of great YouTubers to follow would probably be the most appreciated and actually used by your students. And if you think your students would use it, you could set up a summer reading Fligrid or SeeSaw or other digical space to them to share. I tried this last year and it was a bit of a bust, but maybe I’ll give it another go.   Alright, so…. Ideally, I’ll have those resources and ideas compiled into one document for students to take home at the end of the year. And then we’ll have a quick discussion together about which ones they want to participate in, and what are going to be obstacles.   Perhaps they can share a brief and flexible plan in their reading journal or on SeeSaw or Flipgrid. Getting books in their hands: And finally - the all important getting books in their hands before they leave for the summer! There are a few ways to do this. Have your end-of-the-year gift be a book. Right now I am in a self-contained class and have 21 students. So I can swing this by saving up Scholastic points and entering a lot of giveaways on Twitter and Goodreads.  Next year I’ll be teaching all the 5th graders, so this option might be less doable. One idea I’ve considered instead of selecting a new book for each child based on what I know of their reading life, is to let them pick out one book from our classroom library to take home to keep. Another option is to suggest your PTO/PTA give the graduating class a book as they leave the school. My PTO has done this for the last few years. And it sends a powerful message about what is important and what is valued in our school. Last year is was 365 Days of Wonder and this year will either be New Kid or a picture book like Rock What Ya Got. Another idea that I have seen be very successful is to have a book swap by encouraging families to bring in gently used books for kids to exchange. Our middle school kept them all in a brightly colored kiddie pool with a beach chair next to it. More and more libraries are doing summer check out - which I LOVE!!  So if your school is not yet one of those, maybe arm yourself with some great research and start putting a bug in the ear of the powers-that-be to make that change. Allow kids to check out books from your classroom library is another way to get books in their hands for the summer. My 5th graders are leaving to a new school. So instead, at the end of the year we had an opportunity to meet our incoming 4th grade class. And after some quick introductions, I let each child pick 2-3 books they wanted to take home and read over the summer.  Before they left, I just took a quick picture of them with their stack so I knew which books were out. But other than that, there was no check-out procedure. I like this for a few reasons. One, it shows them right away that our classroom library is the heart of our class and that I want to get to know them as people and as readers. And that whatever book they picked was fine by me. It’s all reading. Also - we’re starting from a place of trust. I trust them to take those books home and return them.  And sure, some didn’t come back. But as Donalyn Miller has so often said, “I’d rather lose a book than lose a reader.” I hope that no matter if you are a teacher, a librarian, or parent that you have found something useful in today’s discussion that will help you foster more independent readers. And no matter what time of year you may stumble across this episode, building in time for reflection, celebrating and sharing our reading lives, and making plans to read more on our own is always a great idea.   And as always, we are learning together so please share with us your ideas and successes for ending the year strong. You can connect with me on Twitter or Instagram - our handle is @books_between or email me at booksbetween@gmail.com and I’d love to share your ideas. Tina Athaide - Interview Outline This week I am thrilled to bring you an interview with debut author Tina Athaide! We chat about her research process, the novels that influenced her as a child, writing tips to pass along to the young authors in your life, and of course - her debut historical novel set in 1970s Uganda -  Orange for the Sunsets. Take a listen. Orange for the Sunsets Welcome! I’d like to start by giving you an opportunity to introduce yourself to our listeners…   I’m an educator by day and writer by night. When I started teaching in Southern CA, I was amazed how little information my students had about other cultures and ethnic groups and always thought they could learn so much from books. Thankfully these days we are seeing an increase in books written about marginalized groups by marginalized writers.   What is Orange for the Sunsets about? It set in 1972 and tells the story of Asha-an Asian Indian girl and her best friend Yesofu a Ugandan boy and how their lives are turned upside down when President Idi Amin announces that Indians have ninety days to leave the country.  Asha comes from a life of privilege, but even then it isn’t as privileged as the Europeans. Yesofu’s family works for Asha’s parents. They are servants in their own country. Idi’ Amin’s expulsion means different things for these two characters, which creates a conflict that threatens to tear apart their friendship.  This was a period in history that very few people knew about, especially here in North America and I felt it was important to share this story.   What was your research process like to make sure you were getting not only the history correct, but the 1970’s details accurate?   Without dating myself, I have to confess that I have personal connections to this story. I was born in Entebbe, but my family left just before the expulsion.. Growing up I heard many stories about life in Uganda and subsequently the horrors of the expulsion. Early drafts were solely from Asha’s point of view. Yesofu had a role in the book, but I never delved into what the expulsion meant for him. An editor that was interested in the story actually recommended that I write the book from both Asha and Yesofu’s POV.   BACK TO THE DRAWING board and revisions. Actually...rewriting the entire book!   I was Asian, writing about the Asian Indian experience. I had some knowledge about the Uganda experiences, but not enough to really give Yesofu an authentic and honesty voice. That involved research.   I spoke to Indians and Ugandans about their experiences during that period of history, beyond just family and friends. I wanted to know their opinions about Idi Amin’s expulsion, how their lives were affected.  I travelled to Kenya and spoke to Kenyan and Ugandan Africans about this time period.   What was also very helpful wasI read articles written during those ninety days from newspapers around the world. When Idi Amin originally expelled Asians, he kicked out those Indians holding British passports and citizenship.  But when he ordered all Asian Indians out of the country, the UN asked countries to open their borders and accept refugees....That included the United States. Although your story is set over 40 years ago and in a country across the globe, it has so many parallels to what’s happening in America now with the rise of populist anti-immigrant sentiment that veers in violence. Did you intentionally want to capture some of those similar sentiments?   It saddens me that in this day and age there are such close parallels between the story in Orange For the Sunset and the strong rise of anti-immigrant sentiment across the globe.  It wasn’t intentional on my part to capture those similarities, but that period of history with Idi Amin and the brutality toward Indians unfortunately mirrors current sentiments. **BONUS SPOILER SECTION: We discuss the ending of the novel, and if you’d like to hear that conversation, I moved that part of the recording to after the end credits of today’s episode at the 38:12 mark.   How has this book changed from your earlier drafts to this final version?   Were there parts that you loved but you had to edit out? Your Writing Life   What are you working on now? I have a picture book coming out in 2020 about a young child, Sita and her grandfather, Gandhi. She is spirited and full of vigor and he teaches her to give how slowing down opens you up to see and appreciate so much more in life.   I am working on a MG fantasy book about a young boy who is destined to be keeper of the Pancha Maha-Bhoota–the five great elements of nature. It weaves in elements of Hindu mythology with flying garuda and naga cobras. What is most exciting is the character travels through time to real places in India so readers will get to visit these spectacular sites.   My students and kids are always eager to hear writing advice from authors.  What’s a tip or trick that you’ve picked along the way that has helped your writing? When I finish writing the rough draft, I go through the manuscript and use different colors to highlight emotional points, plot points, dialogue.  Then I will read through the story focusing on each color and it give me a narrow and wide lens as I revise.   Your Reading Life   What are some books or authors that influenced you as a child? Growing up, there were no books in the local library or school library with people of color, so l went on adventures with Trixie Belden, Anne of Green Gables, and Anastacia Krupnik. Each in their own way those writers influenced me, even if it was to show me how books took you places different from your own world.  I loved the Narnia series by CS Lewis and Harriet the Spy and the Outsiders.   What are some books that you’ve read lately that you’d recommend to our listeners? Book Uncle and Me by Uma Krisnaswami The Bridge Home by PadmaVenkatraman The Night Diary by Veera Hiranandani Drama by Raina Telgemeier   Thank you!   Links:   Tina on Twitter - @tathaide Mae on Instagram - @tinaathaide Closing   Alright - that’s it for our show this week.

We are taking a closer look at the cultural aspects of maternal mental health for Asian Indian mothers. There are barriers to finding and receiving mental health care that bear similarites to many Asian cultures. We also hear how culture impacts the motherhood experience. How can we best support them and to seek the help that’s available to them? We’re covering these topics and more in today’s show. Dr. Deepika Goyal is a Professor of Nursing at San Jose State University and a family nurse practitioner who is passionate about maternal mental health, specifically for women of Asian Indian descent. Dr. Goyal’s research adds to the postpartum mental health narrative regarding Asian American women’s experiences, mental health help-seeking behavior, and preferred management of postpartum depression. Her research findings provide clinicians with the information they need to provide culturally-informed care to promote optimal maternal-child well-being outcomes. Show Highlights: Goyal’s research from 2001-2002 on postpartum depression, regarding sleep disturbances, infant temperament, marital satisfaction, and social support---all with American women of Indian descent More than half of the women who responded to Deepika’s survey said they had experienced depressive symptoms Mental illness and depressive symptoms are very stigmatized in Asian cultures The range of symptoms are anxiety, “baby blues,” postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis; there are more mainstream policies and awareness now, but the changes haven’t occurred as quickly in Asian cultures Asian women have a fear of someone in their family finding out, bringing shame to the family, and being seen as a weak woman----if they report postpartum depressive symptoms The most concerning piece Deepika found was that the women wouldn’t seek help until it was a last resort, and they are very much against medications to help their symptoms Why mental health care is seen as a personal failure Why women are beginning to be more open in seeking help, especially those who have been in the US longer The importance of at least 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep for a new mom, and the impact on mental health Some of the postpartum cultural practices of Asian American women: A female relative comes to stay with the new family for 3-4 months 30-40 days of rest at home after birth, with no household duties or leaving the house Herbs are used that improve breast milk production and healing, in addition to special foods rich in fats and healing properties The importance of equipping women DURING pregnancy with information about symptoms and how to know when to seek help when symptoms become more severe Similarities in cultural practices for women from India, China, Korea, and Vietnam What we can do to best support Asian American women in the postpartum How a therapist can understand and best offer help to these women How mom’s health can benefit the baby’s health, and mother-baby bond, and the child’s cognitive and language development What Deepika wants to do in the future with non-pharmacologic interventions, especially in the area of sleep Resources: Postpartum Support International Deepika Goyal Selected Works of Dr. Goyal can be found HERE *****Today's podcast is brought to you by Audible - get a FREE audiobook download and 30 days free trial at http://www.audibletrial.com/momandmind

The basic idea of the last episode was that I saw someone ask on Facebook: What's the law around having short clips from songs on a podcast - like a music podcast where we are discussing the songs? And on the last episode, I gave you 13 reasons why you should be very careful about using third-party clips, especially if they're from a single or music album from the music industry. So be sure to listen to that episode first, which is Ep 81, at CutToTheChase.fm So continuing that discussion.... Back when I was still living in India, my late father R.N. Jayagopal was the Vice-President of the (Asian) Indian version of ASCAP, called IPRS - Indian Performing Rights Society. I've seen up-close and personally, what a nasty hassle copyright issues can be, for both the creator and the user. Listen to the show for the rest.

Talk about getting to the point! Ha! Our Skype guest, Jul, is a 38-year-old, Asian-Indian, never married woman who works in the IT industry and is based in Manhattan. She grew up in Southern India and immigrated to the United States 10 years ago. Jul is fiercely independent and very open and unapologetic about her life decisions. This is especially noteworthy because of the traditional culture from which she hails. The intersection of culture and expectations are themes that weave their way throughout her story. Jul’s frank way of stating her stance is refreshing. She seems to have not wavered at all in her choices and wishes others would see that she’s good with her life, as is. Her hope is that she will not be plagued by questions related to marriage, children and who will care for her in old age.   Help more people find our podcast! Rate & Review us here!

Chin estate trustee provides insight on how difficult it was to get justice for Vincent Chin. The Asian American community was small and reluctant to speak up. Even civil rights organizations weren't sure about Asian Americans in a black and white world. It may also explain why Asian Americans have reacted differently in recent years to hate crimes that should be considered as significant as Chin's but have failed to get traction with a now larger, divided and complacent Asian American community.   Show Log: :00 Intro, the basic factsa about the death of Vincent Chin, update from Helen Zia, and observations about the case.How the civil rights community was sometimes at odds with Asian Americans. 10:21 Audio portion of interview with Helen Zia 23:26 Emil reads from his 2012 column where Chin's killer Ronald Ebens apologizes for the murder. 34:04 End     Emil Guillermo: Lessons from Vincent Chin murder 35 years after; Podcast interview with Helen Zia; and thoughts on my interview with Chin's killer, Ronald Ebens June 18, 2017 8:40 PM We have now arrived at the 35th year of these essential Asian American facts: On June 19, 1982, Chinese American Vincent Chin, 27, who was with friends at his own bachelor party, was mistaken for being Japanese by two white auto workers, Ronald Ebens and his stepson Michael Nitz, at a Detroit strip club. Ebens told me Chin sucker-punched him. The fight was taken outside, but then broken up. It would have ended, but Ebens and Nitz pursued Chin by car and found him at a nearby McDonald's. In the parking lot, Ebens brutally beat Chin with a baseball bat.  Chin was comatose for four days and pronounced dead on June 23. For that crime, Ebens and Nitz, his accomplice, were allowed to plea bargain. They pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, were sentenced to three years' probation, and fined $3,720. There was no prison time for the murderers of Vincent Chin. The Asian American community was outraged, which led to a federal civil rights prosecution against Ebens and Nitz. Ebens was found guilty on one charge and sentenced to 25 years in prison. He appealed to the Sixth Circuit, and a second federal trial was moved from Detroit to Cincinnati. Ebens was acquitted by a Cincinnati jury that found no racial motivation in the killing of Chin. That's where the story has been for the last 35 years: The perps are free. And Asian Americans can still be victims of extremely violent hate crimes, like Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an Asian Indian mistaken for a Muslim. This year in Olathe, Kansas, Kuchibhotla was allegedly killed by a white gunman who yelled, "Get out of my country." For the 35th year marker of Chin's death, I called to get an update from the writer Helen Zia, who is also the trustee of the Chin estate. Zia said the Chin family was awarded a $2 million judgment in civil litigation against Ebens back in the '80s, and continues to monitor Ebens, now 77 and retired in Nevada. "The judgment has been continued," Zia told me. She said that with interest and penalties, the judgment could be in excess of $8 million, but Ebens has "not paid a dime."   Zia said she's philosophical about recovery.  "The guy did what he did," she told me. "He's a killer. He got away with murder. But the things that need to be done on behalf of the community don't depend on him or his death. It will bring closure. But it doesn't mean hate crimes have ended." An edited portion of my interview with Zia is in my podcast, Emil Amok's Takeout. Besides being the trustee of the estate, Zia was right there in the thick of the Chin case in Detroit. A journalist with legal training, she wrote for the daily newspaper there, but refrained from writing about the case so she could be one of the founders of American Citizens for Justice, the group formed to fight for Chin. It was just a handful of Asian American lawyers and activists. At that time, there were few Asian Americans in the law or in journalism. And there was no one with the expertise to do a federal hate crime case. Thirty-five years later, Zia said that what strikes her the most are the things people don't bring up about the case.  The human stuff, like the late Lily Chin, Vincent's adoptive mom. "She died feeling that if she hadn't adopted him, he'd be alive," Zia told me. "It's so sad to me to think about it that way." But the human stuff also includes the human opposition to the case within the community and the backlash that existed at the time. "We had civil rights people who said, 'We'll support you because Vincent was Chinese and thought to be Japanese, but if he were Japanese, we won't support because he would've deserved it,' " Zia said. "I said 'What? You're kidding?' The Michigan ACLU and the Michigan National Lawyers Guild strongly opposed a civil rights investigation because Asian Americans are not protected by federal civil rights law. That was something we had to argue." Fortunately, the national offices of those legal groups prevailed and forced the state chapters to comply. "Here were some of the most liberal activist attorneys saying Asian Americans shouldn't be included under the civil rights law. Vincent was an immigrant. We had to establish he was a citizen, with the implication there might not have been a civil rights investigation if he had not been naturalized. All of this stuff...these were hurdles we had to overcome with major impacts today," Zia told me. "Can you imagine if the Reagan White House had followed the National Lawyers Guild's Michigan chapter and the ACLU of Michigan and said, 'Why should we look expansively at civil rights? We shouldn't include immigrants and Asian Americans.' And at that time, that would include Latinos too, because at that time if you were not black or white, what do you have to do with race? Those were the things people would say to us." Zia said after 35 years, a quick telling of the Chin case rarely discusses just how difficult it was to fight for justice. But she says those are the enduring lessons of the Vincent Chin case, because it has contributed to a modern sense of social justice for every American. "Every immigrant, Latinos. Every American," Zia said. "Hate crime protection laws now also include perceived gender and disability. It was the Vincent Chin case when we had to argue civil rights was more than black or white." Zia said the case was also more difficult because it was during a pre-digital, non-computer, pay-phone age. Communication occurred slowly.  But the case was also slow because Asian Americans were a micro-community. We're 21 million now and feel empowered. In 1980, the Asian American population was just 3.7 million nationwide. And most were timid, non-boat rockers. "In the Vincent Chin case, people were incredibly reluctant to become involved," Zia told me. "They had never gotten involved before. And I think that's what gets lost [in the retelling of the story]. Exclusion didn't end till about 1950, and so what that meant was Asian Americans of every kind, from Chinese to Filipinos, everybody, were pretty much totally disenfranchised till the mid-20th century." "So when Vincent Chin was killed 30 years later [in 1982], the communities had. . .I think of it as stunted growth. There weren't people running for office. If there were, it was a miniscule number. There weren't people standing up; we didn't have advocacy organizations." A right to justice, and a community's sense of empowerment, was a difficult thing to imagine for many Asian Americans. "Not only did we not have it," Zia said, "People didn't even recognize it was something we could have. The idea we all came together with the Vincent Chin case and sang 'Kumbaya' and took over and went to the Reagan White House and the Department of Justice and got all these things to happen. . .that's a mythology. And I think it's a disservice to the next generations to think this." Helen Zia knows what was happening in Detroit in the '80s as the fight began for Vincent Chin. More of her thoughts on Emil Amok's Takeout.   RONALD EBENS I don't know what Vincent Chin's killer did for Father's Day. I last talked to Ronald Ebens in 2015, around the June 23 anniversary of Chin's death. "I'm doing fine," he told me then, adding quickly he had a good Father's Day with his kids.; I asked him then if he ever thought about the anniversary. "Like what?" he said. "I never forget it." Never? "Of course not." It was 2015. "I'm 75 years old, and I'm just tired of all that after 33 years." He's 77 now, and Helen Zia doesn't want him ever to tire or forget the truth. "He will never spend a day of his life without knowing he has a huge debt to society and a huge debt to Vincent Chin's family," Zia told me. "And one day, he will pay for it." The very first time I talked to Ebens was in 2012, on the 30th anniversary of the Chin murder. On the podcast, I read aloud the column that I wrote on June 22, 2012. It has Ebens explaining himself and describing what happened that night. He was reluctant to talk to me, but he did. And during our conversation, he apologized for the murder.  "I'm sorry it happened and if there's any way to undo it, I'd do it," he told me in my exclusive interview. "Nobody feels good about somebody's life being taken, okay? You just never get over it. . .Anybody who hurts somebody else. If you're a human being, you're sorry, you know." But Zia, who read my column at the time, has never bought that as an apology. "I stood next to this guy in court, and I see his face, over and over, read his words, and frankly, I don't see a shred of sincerity," Zia told me. "[He's really saying] 'I didn't even mean to kill, why should I have to go through this.'" And then to me, Zia said, "It would take more than you interviewing him saying, ' I'm sorry, I killed him.' Let's see how sorry he is and set an example for future people who are thinking of killing a Muslim student in North Carolina, or a man in Kansas. These killers who kill out of hatred and go to justify their killings, it takes more than saying I'm sorry."   http://www.amok.com http://www.twitter.com/emilamok http://www.aaldef.org/blog

It’s about WW1 news 100 years ago this week  - and it’s about WW1 NOW - news and updates about the centennial and the commemoration.WW1 Centennial News is brought to you by the U.S. World War I Centennial Commission and the Pritzker Military Museum and Library. Today is May 3rd, 2017 and I’m Theo Mayer - Chief Technologist for the World War One Centennial Commission and your host today. World War One THEN 100 Year Ago This Week Although America can’t immediately field a giant fighting force and ship it to the Western Front - the US government is going “all in” in other ways.No longer limited under a declaration of war, the US Navy gets busy and sends destroyers across the Atlantic to engage German U-boats, which are ravaging allied shipping. Remember, the US Navy has been a force to be reckoned with for a hundred years - ever since it distinguished itself during the War of 1812 - a war, incidentally, AGAINST the British not for them. Meanwhile, we not only have an effective Navy but we also have money. Unlike our European allies and foes, we haven’t  depleted our economy through years of war - so,  President Wilson’s Treasury Secretary, William McAdoo puts together a ginormous loan for the Bank of England. He hands them a check for $200 million dollars - the equivalent of 4 billion today.. That is the largest single check the US Treasury had ever written. But we Americans are a pragmatic lot. This is - of course - not a gift. It’s a loan. And - as has become typical with a lot of US international governmental dealings - to this very day - the money is only to be used to pay American companies for products and services on behalf of the UK’s war efforts. So it’s a loan to our allie - to be paid back - and to be used to purchase American goods from US suppliers. War has always been good for business.One more interesting note… and yet another amazing parallel in history. Mr. McAdoo -  our secretary of the treasury - also happens to be President Wilson’s son-in-law. Family in the cabinet is a long standing tradition! Meanwhile, on the western front in Europe things are near disastrous. The mutinies among the French troops are expanding. For example, the 2nd battalion of the 18th french regimen suffered two thirds casualties in the Nivelle offensive around April 16th.Just 10 days later, the general command sends in a new crop of officers, the original ones having been killed 10 days earlier.  The men are ordered back to the front. This does not go down well - and Instead of heading for the front, the troops ransack the local stores of wine and get soused - shouting - “Down With The War”. They clearly have had enough.This was unfortunately not an isolated incident. On the same day in the Champagne region, two hundred men fled into the woods rather than report back to the front.Link: http://today-in-wwi.tumblr.com/post/160002079918/first-us-war-loan-to-britainhttp://today-in-wwi.tumblr.com/post/160108119108/us-congress-approves-selective-service-acthttp://today-in-wwi.tumblr.com/post/160140287178/french-mutinies-spread Great War Project Joining us to tell us more about how the germans are using the demoralization of the allied troops - not only in France but also in Russia - is former NPR correspondent Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. Russia is effectively in revolution - costing the allies a crucial partner - and delighting the Germans who happily FUEL the fires of dissent.Mike what’s happening with Russia?LINK:http://greatwarproject.org/2017/04/30/will-russia-stay-in-the-war/Thank you Mike. That was Mike Shuster from the Great War Project blog. War in the Sky In the great war in the sky 100 years ago this week, we are wrapping up Bloody April - a disastrous period for the allied flyers where a new pilot had a life expectancy of just 11 days. Two allied aces that are lost in late April and early March are American pilot John J. Malone and British ace Captain Albert Ball who is killed in a crash following a dog fight with Lothar Von Richthoven, the brother of Manfred Von Richthoven, the red baron - both brothers are German  pilots.On the US domestic front, last week we told you the story about the launch of the Boeing Aircraft company. We received a lot of feedback and interest on the story. So with us today is Michael Lombardi, the senior corporate historian for the Boeing company. Michael thank you for joining us.Michael, re-branding his company, The Pacific Aero Products Company - a component supplier  -  to the Boeing Airplane Company - a airplane supplier - within days of a US declaration of war carries all the “business acumen”, “entrepreneurial spirit ”, ‘Innovation” and “technology” attributes that define much of the American Character that emerged as a result of WW1. We want to know more about mr. William Boeing. Could you give us some insight?[Michael reply]What did the company do during the 18 months of the war? And what did it do the years following?[Michael reply]WW1 is the war that changed the world - William Boeing and the company he founded are certainly a part of this. Thank you Michael Lombardi, Senior corporate historian for the Boeing company.LINK:http://ww1cc.org/warinthesky The Great War Channel For video about WW1 history  - our friends at the Great War Channel on Youtube have some new posts for you this week: OUT OF THE TRENCHES is another episode of where Indy Nidell answers viewer questions Turmoil In The French Army expands on the challenges we have been speaking about.

He was a DOG --- who served for 18 months and participated in seventeen battles on the Western Front. Stubby  saved his regiment from surprise mustard gas attacks, found and comforted the wounded, and once caught a German soldier by the seat of his pants, holding him until human American soldiers arrived. He was promoted to the rank of Sergeant and decorated with medals. Back home, his exploits were front page news in major newspapers. Well Sergeant Stubby’s exploits are being turned into an animated film - and with us today for an update on the movie is Jordan Beck, Head of Communications for Fun Academy Motion Pictures. Welcome Jordan.Give us an overview and update on the project[Jordan Beck]That was Jordan Beck, Head of Communications for Fun Academy Motion Pictures. Education The Monuments ProjectCombining our international and education reports - here is a story about the students at the American School in Paris. They recently started a new class assignment—the Monuments Project. With more than 35,000 Americans buried or memorialized overseas from World War I, there are thousands of untold stories, and the students are uncovering some of these unknown, personal histories.The project  is a collaboration between the American Battle Monuments Commission (ABMC) in the Paris area, the American School of Paris and with Lopez Island Middle High School of Washington State. 100 students in France and Washington State began working together to research the lives of soldiers who entered the service.Learn more about it by following the link in the podcast notes.Link: https://www.abmc.gov/news-events/news/telling-untold-stories-world-war-i-soldiers-sailors-and-marines-suresnes-american?utm_content=&utm_medium=email&utm_name=&utm_source=govdelivery&utm_term=#.WP-LAWeKGMEhttp://www.monumentsproject.org/ Posts and Articles Vande Mataram in the USAThere is a new sub-site that went live this week.Vande Mataram in the USA is a site about Asian Indians in World War I AmericaWhen the United States entered World War I, only a few tens of thousands of immigrants from colonial India lived in the nation, most on the West Coast. Yet this tiny community received enormous press coverage immediately after the declaration of war. The spotlight came from a wave of arrests of Indian Nationalists and Germans accused of conspiring to overthrow the British Raj. But while the press was focused on covering the plot and trial, many Asian Indian immigrants were serving in the United States armed forces. Their record of service and their struggle for civil rights after WWI led eventually to full citizenship rights for themselves and their descendants.Check out their story at ww1cc.org/vande V-A-N-D-E all lower case.link:http://www.worldwar1centennial.org/index.php/vande-mataram-home.html100 Cities/100 MemorialsFor 100 Cities / 100 Memorial - the $200,000 matching grant program for rescuing ailing WW1 memorials - we want to put out a reminder that there are less than 45 days before the grant application submissions close.We know this is not enough  time to crank up a whole project - but don’t miss the deadline if you are doing one of these project.
