In 1970, while a junior in Cornell University's College of Engineering, Ken Kunken broke his neck making a tackle on a kick-off in a lightweight football game against Columbia University. Ken sustained a spinal cord injury at the C 4-5 level, rendering him a quadriplegic, almost totally paralyzed from the shoulders down. Ken spent more than 9 months in various hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. While still a patient, Ken testified before a United States Senate Sub-Committee on Health Care, chaired by Senator Edward Kennedy. In 1971, almost 20 years before the Americans with Disabilities Act, Ken returned to the Cornell campus, where he completed his undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering. Ken estimates that he had to be pulled up or bounced down close to 100 steps just to attend his first day of classes. Ken is the first quadriplegic to graduate from Cornell University. Upon graduation, Ken decided to change his career goal. He wanted to work with and help people, particularly those with disabilities. Ken went on to earn a Master of Arts degree at Cornell in education and a Master of Education degree at Columbia University in psychology. Ken is the first quadriplegic to earn a graduate degree from Cornell University. In 1977, Ken was hired by Abilities Inc. in Albertson, NY to be its College Work Orientation Program Coordinator. Ken coordinated a program which provided educationally related work experiences for severely disabled college students. He also maintained a vocational counseling caseload of more than 20 severely disabled individuals. While working at the Center, Ken became a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and made numerous public presentations on non-discrimination, affirmative action and employment of the disabled. In 1977, Ken was named the Long Island Rehabilitation Associations “Rehabilitant of the Year” and in 1979 Ken was the subject of one of the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale's nationally syndicated radio broadcasts “The American Character”. Wanting to accomplish still more, Ken enrolled in Hofstra University's School of Law, where he earned a Juris Doctor degree in 1982. Ken then went to work as an assistant district attorney in Nassau County, Long Island. Ken was promoted a number of times during his more than 40 years with the District Attorney's Office, eventually becoming one of the Deputy Bureau Chiefs of the County Court Trial Bureau, where he helped supervise more than 20 other assistant district attorneys. In addition, over his years working in the Office, Ken supervised more than 50 student interns. In 1996 Ken received the Honorable Thomas E. Ryan, Jr. Award presented by the Court Officers Benevolent Association of Nassau County for outstanding and dedicated service as an Assistant District Attorney. In 1999, Ken was awarded the George M. Estabrook Distinguished Service Award presented by the Hofstra Alumni Association, Inc. Beginning in 2005, for nine consecutive years, “The Ken Kunken Most Valuable Player Award” was presented annually by The Adirondack Trust Allegiance Bowl in Saratoga Springs, NY, in recognition of Ken's personal accomplishments, contributions to society and extraordinary courage. In 2009, Ken became a member of the Board of Directors of Abilities Inc., and in 2017 he became a member of the Board of Directors for the parent company of Abilities Inc., the Viscardi Center. In 2020, Ken was inducted into “The Susan M. Daniels Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame,” as a member of the class of 2019. In March 2024, Ken was named one of the Long Island Business News Influencers in Law. Ken retired from full-time employment in 2016, but continued to work with the District Attorney's Office for the next eight years in a part time capacity, providing continuing legal education lectures and litigation guidance. For years, Ken has tried to inspire people to do more with their lives. In October 2023, Ken's memoir “I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ken Kunken Story” was published. In 2003 Ken married Anna and in 2005 they became the proud parents of triplet boys: Joey, Jimmy and Timmy. On June 23, 2023 the triplets graduated from Oceanside High School, fifty-five years after Ken had graduated from the same school. 3 Top Tips 1 . Try to improve your knowledge, your skills and your performance. Get the best education possible, and never stop learning. Don't be satisfied with the status quo. 2 . Strive to make the impossible, possible. Just because something has not been done before, does not mean that you cannot do it now. 3 . Find time to help others. Years from now be able to say that you did everything you possibly could to make not only your life, but the lives of those around you better as well.

VOA 이야기 미국사, 오늘은 지미 카터 대통령 시대에 대해 계속 전해 드립니다. 지미 카터 대통령의 정치적 힘이 떨어지자, 민주당에서 또 다른 후보가 대선 후보 지명 경쟁에 뛰어들었습니다. 바로 존 F. 케네디 전 대통령의 동생인 에드워드 케네디(Edward Kennedy)였습니다. 에드워드 케네디는 매사추세츠주 출신으로 강력한 힘을 가진 상원의원이었습니다. 이란 인질 사태가 카터 대통령의 발목을 잡았지만, 민주당은 다시 한번 카터 대통령을 민주당 대선 후보로 지명했습니다. 카터 행정부의 월터 먼데일(Walter Mondale) 부통령 역시 다시 부통령 후보로 선출됐습니다. 대선 후보 지명에서 패한 에드워드 케네디 상원의원은 카터 대통령에게 지지를 표했지만, 그의 지지는 미지근한 것이었습니다. 대선을 앞두고, 민주당은 분열됐습니다. 이란 인질 사태를 비롯한 카터 행정부의 문제로 많은 미국인이 더는 미국이 강력한 나라가 아니라고 느끼게 됐습니다. 이런 상황에서, 공화당의 로널드 레이건 후보는 미국을 다시 강하게 만들겠다고 약속하며 선거운동을 벌였습니다. 자세한 이야기 함께 하시죠.

As Democrats continue to quarrel over whether President Biden should step down from the ticket, we look back at a comparable moment in recent history. On today's episode of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Politically Georgia podcast, hosts Bill Nigut and Tia Mitchell look back to 1980 when Maryland Democratic congressman Michael Barnes was among those who worked to replace President Jimmy Carter because they believed Carter, struggling with low appproval ratings and a myriad of national and international crises, could not beat Ronald Reagan. Barnes joins the podcast to discuss the 1980 Democratic convention, where there was a rebellion among some delegates looking to nominate Edward Kennedy for president. Michael Barnes joins the podcast. Then, former Republican Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan abandoned Donald Trump and the MAGA wing of the Republican Party long ago. He raised GOP ire when he urged Republicans to vote for President Biden. But that happened just before Biden's alarming debate performance. Now, Duncan appears to be a man without a candidate. He joins the podcast to discuss his most recent AJC column.

词汇提示1.coalition 联盟2.march 前进3.anew 重新4.destiny命运5.ripple 涟漪6.valiant 勇敢的原文Edward Kennedy 'Remembering Martin Luther King'You and I have stood together many times, but no time has been more important than this.The campaign that stretches before us now is a struggle for the souls and the future of America.For we are more than a political coalition, more than a collection of programmes, more than the sum of our prospects and our strategy.Most of all, we are the trustees of a dream.Twenty years ago, in 1968, we lost two of the most powerful voices of that dream.But they left us their vision, their values, and the hopes they awakened.In the countless millions of people whose hearts they touched, we remember them now to remind ourselves that the American journey is unfinished, that we stand for change in order to march again towards enduring ideals, that we do not have to settle for things as they are.Martin Luther King Jr told us something we need to hear anew.He said, 'We are now faced with the fact that tomorrow is today.We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now, in the unfolding life and history.There is such a thing as being too late.And Dr King also said, 'We must work unceasingly to lift this Nation to a higher destiny, to a new plateau of compassion.'And in that time there was another voice, only briefly heard, but whose words too have outlasted all the loss in years.Robert Kennedy said, 'Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope.And crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.'He was my brother.But he and Dr King were also in the deepest sense brothers to us all.These two, these valiant two, lived for the same dream and were gone only months apart.And if they were here with us, two decades later, I think I know what they would say: 'Now is the time. Some men see things as they are and say, why? We dream things that never were and say, why not? Now is the time.'翻译爱德华·肯尼迪:《纪念马丁·路德·金》你和我曾多次并肩作战,但没有什么比这一次更重要。现在摆在我们面前的竞选是一场关乎灵魂和美国未来的斗争。因为我们不仅仅是一个政治联盟,不仅仅是一系列计划的集合,不仅仅是我们的前景和战略的总和。最重要的是,我们是梦想的受托人。20年前,1968年,我们失去了这一梦想中两个最有力的声音。但他们给我们留下了他们的愿景、他们的价值观和他们唤醒的希望。我们缅怀他们,是为了提醒我们自己,美国的征途尚未完成,我们主张变革,是为了再次向持久的理想迈进,我们不必安于现状。马丁·路德·金告诉我们一些我们需要重新听一遍的事情。他说:“我们现在面对的事实是,明天就是今天。在生活和历史的发展中,我们面临着现在的强烈紧迫性。有一件事是太迟了。金博士还说:“我们必须不断努力,把这个国家提升到一个更高的命运,提升到一个充满同情的新平台。”在那段时间里,还有另一个声音,虽然只被短暂地听到,但他的话也比失去亲人的岁月更持久。罗伯特·肯尼迪说过:“每当一个人为理想挺身而出,或为改善他人的命运而行动,或反对不公正时,他都会发出一丝希望的涟漪。”这些涟漪从一百万个不同的能量和勇气中心相互交叉,形成一股水流,可以冲垮最强大的压迫和反抗之墙。”他是我的兄弟。但在最深刻的意义上,他和金博士也是我们所有人的兄弟。这两个,这两个勇敢的人,为了同一个梦想而活,只相隔几个月就走了。如果二十年后他们还在这里,我想我知道他们会说:‘现在是时候了。有些人看到事情本来的样子就会问,为什么?我们梦想着从未实现过的事情,然后说,为什么不呢?现在是时候了。”
Irwin Michnick, the Brooklyn-born son of a Jewish furrier from Ukraine, was a jazz musician who wrote radio commercials and advertising jingles for companies like L & M cigarettes and Ken-L Ration dog food.Bob Levenson was a copywriter at Doyle Dane Bernbach who needed a tune to go with the words, “Everybody doesn't like something, but nobody doesn't like Sara Lee.” Irwin Michnick got the call.But it was a different call that led to Irwin Michnik winning a Tony Award and the Contemporary Classics Award from the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, Placido Domingo, and more than 70 other superstars of music have recorded the song that Michnik wrote.Josh Groban included it on his 2020 album, Harmony.Aretha Franklin sang it at the funeral of civil rights activist Rosa Parks.Senator Edward Kennedy asked that it be sung at his funeral, as well. And it was.The song teaches us that passion does not create commitment, but that commitment creates passion. It is a song that teaches us that we can achieve the miraculous only if we are willing to attempt the ridiculous.Do you remember the Ze Frank quote I shared with you last week? The one where Ze talks about how the hero throws himself into battle against impossible odds, fiercely pushing, shoulders back, despite the knowledge that he can't win, that he will die in the end?Irwin Michnik wrote the music and Joe Darion wrote the words. It is the theme song of Wizard Academy, that school for entrepreneurs and ad writers and educators and ministers and researchers and every other agent-of-change who has become infected with an impossible dream.Do you remember the song now? Of course you do. It starts like this, “To dream the impossible dream; to fight the unbeatable foe; to bear with unbearable sorrow; to run where the brave dare not go.”You probably don't remember Irwin Michnik because he was known professionally as Mitch. Mitch Leigh.I'll bet you can guess what Indy Beagle has for you in the rabbit hole.In other news about impossible dreams, last week I bought an extremely old copy of the book Miguel de Cervantes wrote that inspired the song by Mitch Leigh and Joe Darion.Perhaps I'll tell you about it after the beginning of the year.Ciao for Niao,Roy H. WilliamsGood business ideas often die on the vine because of the cost and logistics of bringing those ideas into reality. Uzair Ahmed saw all these missed opportunities, so he figured figured out how to use technology and automation to make these good business ideas come alive. Uzair tested a high-tech, low-overhead system to launch a business that provides on-site car repairs. Guess what? It succeeded wildly. Now, Uzair tells roving reporter Rotbart, he can help other businesses cut their costs up to 60% by following his model. And this also reduces the number of hours a business owner has to spend at work. We've struck the match and lit the fuse. If you want to see the fireworks, hurry over to MondayMorningRadio.com

Chappaquiddick: The Killing of Mary Jo KopechneThis is the complete FBI CHAPPAQUIDDICK file. Much of the hit movie is based on this file. These pages are in the same order as found in the file. It must be noted that the clear majority of Americans believe Edward Kennedy let Mary Jo drown to save himself and his political career. Most think he got away with killing her. As a former detective, I believe he got away with it. From Kennedy's delay in notifying police, his selective memory, his unbelievable testimony contained in these pages and the theatrical grand jury which only heard from 4 witnesses totaling 20 minutes of testimony before deciding not to indict. It's clear that since this occurred in the Kennedy's kingdom of Massachusetts, the fix was in. How much did it cost, we'll never know. All we do know is that Mary Jo did not receive justice. Edward Kennedy was convicted for leaving the scene of an accident with bodily injury. His penalty, two months in jail—but the sentence was suspended. In simple terms, he didn't spend a single day in jail for killing her. That is not justice. As you read the court testimony pay particular attention to Kennedy's highly scripted and dubious statements.This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

For the next few months, we're sharing some of our favorite conversations from the podcast's archives. This week's segments first appeared in 2019 and 2020, respectively.In their best-selling book “She Said” — the basis for the Maria Schrader-directed film of the same title, currently in theaters — the Times reporters Jodi Kantor and Megan Twohey recount how they broke the Harvey Weinstein story, work that earned them the Pulitzer Prize, led to Weinstein's 2020 conviction on felony sex crimes and helped solidify #MeToo as an ongoing national movement.When the book was published in 2019, Twohey and Kantor were guests on the podcast and discussed the difficulties they had faced in getting women to speak on the record about Weinstein's predation. They also said that their coverage of workplace sexual harassment would not end with Weinstein: “Our attitude is that you can't solve a problem you can't see,” Kantor told the host Pamela Paul. “Megan and I can't adjudicate all of the controversies around #MeToo, but what we can continue to do is bring information to light in a responsible way and uncover this secret history that so many of us are still trying to understand.”Also this week, we revisit Neal Gabler's 2020 podcast appearance, in which he talked about “Catching the Wind,” the first volume of his Ted Kennedy biography. (The second and concluding volume, “Against the Wind,” has just been published.) “I approached this book as a biography of Edward Kennedy, but also, equally, a biography of American liberalism,” he said at the time.We would love to hear your thoughts about this episode, and about the Book Review's podcast in general.

In conversation with former congressman Patrick Kennedy Neal Gabler is the author of Catching the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Liberal Hour, a ''rich and insightful'' (The New York Times) account of the figure known as the most complex of the Kennedys. His other work includes An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood, Life the Movie: How Entertainment Conquered Reality, and award-winning biographies of Walt Disney and Walter Winchell. The former chief nonfiction judge for the National Book Awards, Gabler has earned a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Shorenstein Fellowship, and a Woodrow Wilson Public Policy Scholarship, among other honors. The second volume in his acclaimed biography of Ted Kennedy, Against the Wind follows the ''lion of the Senate'' as he works to safeguard progressive ideals and legislation during an era of conservative dominance. For 16 years Patrick J. Kennedy served Rhode Island's First Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives, where he was the lead sponsor of the landmark Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act. He also authored and co-sponsored dozens of bills aimed at treating neurological and psychiatric disorders and served on numerous committees and subcommittees, including the House Appropriations Committee, the Subcommittee on Labor, and the Subcommittee on Veterans Affairs. The founder of The Kennedy Forum, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming mental health and addiction care, Kennedy is also the founder of the parity rights advocacy group Don't Deny Me, the co-founder of the online learning platform Psych Hub, and is the co-chair of the Action Alliance's National Response to COVID-19, among many other public health groups. In 2015 he co-authored with Stephen Fried the New York Times bestseller A Common Struggle, a roadmap to health equity in the United States based on his personal and professional experiences.

"Against the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Rise of Conservatism, 1976-2009" completes Neal Gabler's magisterial biography of Ted Kennedy, but it also unfolds the epic, tragic story of the fall of liberalism and the destruction of political morality in America.
John A. Farrell's new biography of Edward Kennedy is the first single-volume exploration into the life of the Lion of the Senate since his death. Farrell's long acquaintance with the Kennedy universe helped garner him access to a remarkable range of new sources, including segments of Kennedy's personal diary and his private confessions to members of his family in the days that followed the accident on Chappaquiddick. The book is "Ted Kennedy: A Life."
Is Mold in Buildings "Organized Crime?" Join us LIVE on Thursday October 13, 2022 when we welcome Sharon Kramer to our program to discuss this provocative topic and more! Sharon Noonan Kramer is an Advocate for Integrity in Environmental Health Marketing & Honesty in the Courts. She holds a degree in marketing from the University of Mississippi, 1977. She uses her marketing skills to communicate concerns to government regarding integrity in the intertwined subjects of environmental science, medicine, policy, and accountability in the courts. She is a medical journal published author on the subject. Over the years she has collaborated with numerous non-profit organizations and individuals to effectively bring changes in federal and state policies and practices. This includes mildly improved disciplinary oversight of California's judges by the Commission on Judicial Performance in 2019; and a federal audit detailing the need for consistent and accurate federal messaging about the health effects of mold and moldy buildings. The federal audit was ordered by the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy in 2006 at Mrs. Kramer's urging. She is known for being a good listener who “knows things that should make your skin crawl…and not afraid to speak them to persons at the highest levels of government and policy-making.” Her research and results of being a persistent squeaky wheel are often cited in toxic torts throughout the United States; and in national and international policy changing publications. In 2012, Mrs. Kramer was retaliated against and incarcerated for two nights by order of a California judge, corum non judice, for refusing to be coerced to denounce what she had reported of a systemic corruption problem in the San Diego courts causing even greater frauds to continue in environmental medicine and courts, nationwide. To date, no officer of the court has been held accountable as the harm to Mrs. Kramer rages on for telling the truth in America. She has witnessed many lives forever devastated by lack of accountability in the U.S. legal system; and firmly believes that the only threats greater to a free society than a corrupt judge are erred attorney general practices which enable court officer crimes to continue. She is proprietor of several blogs including NoCourtOfficerIsAboveTheLaw.com.

Robert H. Bork Jr.—President of the Antitrust Education Project—joins The Dawn Stensland Show to discuss his latest editorial, “Will Ted Cruz Take a Sharp Left Turn on Antitrust Policy?” Cruz appears to be willing to join forces with Amy Klobuchar to pass legislation that would target Silicon Valley, but alarmingly the bill will only allow for the federal government to have more control over big tech (and subsequently a significant portion of the economy) without any additional guarantees of protections against conservative censorship. Bork also talks about the vitriolic climate and societal polarization currently plaguing the Supreme Court. As one of the leading legal scholars in the country, Bork's father was famously nominated to serve on the United States Supreme Court in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan before having his nomination spitefully scuttled by then Senator Joe Biden and Edward Kennedy.

"Jazz has always been like the kind of a man you wouldn't want your daughter to associate with" -- Edward Kennedy aka Duke Ellington, born 4/29/1899.
Senator Orrin Hatch died on April 23, 2022 at the age of 88. He had just retired in 2019. He was a true giant in the history of the United States Senate and in History. He passed more pieces of legislation than any Senator living at the time of death. He reached across the aisle regularly and found workable solutions to problems even while being one of the Senate's most conservative members and he often did those things with Senator Edward Kennedy, no less, one if not the most liberal members of the U.S. Senate. It was a remarkable record and a remarkable career that stands as an example of what can be accomplished if we will just make the effort. It is also a remarkable testament to the greatness of America. For Orrin Hatch was born in abject poverty, the son of a carpenter in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania. It is one of those great examples of someone who lived the American Dream and then left the country far better off than he found it. Orrin Hatch was also well known as one of the genuine gentlemen of Congress. Our host Randal Wallace met Senator Hatch in 2000 and found him to be a very gracious and thoughtful person during their brief interaction. Orrin Hatch was the real thing and he was without question one of the Giants in the history of the Senate. We were very lucky to have had his caliber of leadership for 42 years.

Tribute to Robert F. Kennedy, by Edward Kennedy.
1980 Democratic National Convention Address, by Edward Kennedy.
Chappaquiddick, by Edward Kennedy.
President Richard Nixon's Address to the nation and to a joint session of Congress on June 1, 1972, would mark the arguable high point of his amazing political career. Fresh off two successful summits, first in Peking, China and then in Moscow, in the Soviet Union. President Nixon was poised to change the chess board of the world in 1972. It was an incredible moment when all seemed with in his grasp, that he would be bringing peace to the world and marking his place as one of America's greatest Presidents. You will hear this amazing address to the nation, listen in on his calls with National Security Advisor Henry Kissinger and see him setting the stage to try and bring the one major obstacle to his plans, the Vietnam War, to an end. We also step back a couple of weeks to yet another assassination attempt on yet another national political figure, Alabama Governor George Wallace. Here you will hear President Nixon call to see about his political rival and talk to his worried wife. Nixon will also order Secret Service protection for Senator Edward Kennedy as a precaution for the safety of the last of the political family that he has been at political odds with for so long. In the middle of all of this, is a story about a foiled burglary attempt at the Democratic National Committee at the Watergate, at the time it seemed like just a small story and the show moves on with little comment.

Para este periodo vacacional, te dejo el Top ten de las canciones de los estados de la República mexicana que consideró más representativas.Comenzamos con las canciones:1.- VeracruzAgustín Lara “el flaco de oro” le canta a la tierra que lo vio nacer, inspirándose en sus recuerdos que tuvo en su juventud. En la letra se puede observar la admiración que siente por el lugar y el deseo de volver a su primer hogar.2.- La marcha de Zacatecases obra del compositor zacatecano Genaro Codina quien compuso la Marcha de Zacatecas en el año de 1892 y fue tocada por primera vez en público en la primavera de 1893. Por su uso frecuente en eventos oficiales, esta canción es considerada como el segundo himno mexicano.3.- Camino de GuanajuatoCamino de Guanajuato es el icónico tema que sin duda todo guanajuatense canta con orgullo, como un himno, al mostrar José Alfredo Jiménez un recorrido por los pueblos del estado hasta llegar a su natal Dolores Hidalgo. La canción evoca al dolor y a la muerte, ya que en ese tiempo el autor estaba pasando por un trago amargo, al perder a su hermano, pero su interpretación es tan sublime que ni parece una canción triste. Sin duda una de las canciones más emblemáticas del hijo de Dolores Hidalgo en el bello estado de Jalisco.4.- La feria de San Marcos… o Pelea de gallosEl autor de esta canción es Juan Santiago Garrido Vargas de origen chileno, quien años después de haber llegado a México, visitó la Feria de San Marcos en Aguascalientes y ahí se inspiró para componer esta canción que cualquier mexicano ha bailado o entonado un día de fiesta.5.- El SinaloenseAy ay mamá, mamá por Dios, por Dios que borracho vengo… Himno del estado de Sinaloa y del alma fiestera de los lugareños. Severiano Briseño Chávez fue quien se encargo de darle vida a esta canción en 1944 con el único fin de reforzar la identidad del estado. La canción se popularizo gracias a la interpretación de La Banda el Recodo.6.- Caminos de MichoacánCanción escrita por Bulmaro Bermúdez Gómez y dedicada a los pueblos, gente y cada uno de los rincones que conforman el hermoso estado de Michoacán. Exaltando en cada una de sus notas los paisajes, lagos, mariposas y riqueza cultural. Sin duda esta canción es un ícono de la cultura mexicana y un himno del estado de Michoacán.7.- Mi ciudadMi ciudad es un clásico de la canción popular mexicana. Composición escrita en 1971, su máxima exponente ha sido Lola la Grande quien con su voz le ha dado reconocimiento internacional. Mi ciudad es un poema a la Ciudad de México de sus tiempos , exaltando la grandeza y la multiculturalidad que se vivía en esos momentos, y que con el paso de los años se han conservado hasta nuestros días.8.- Vamos a TabascoVen ven ven, vamos a Tabasco que Tabasco que Tabasco es un edén. Canción de Pepe del Riviero que nos invita a no sólo visitar el estado sino a conocerlo. El ritmo tropical de la melodía nos expone la verdadera riqueza y edén de Tabasco; su gente. Así que si decides visitar el sur no te olvides de Tabasco, recuerda que es el edén de México.9.- Guadalajara GuadalajaraCanción compuesta y escrita en 1954 por Pepe Guízar, esta canción ha sido un éxito no sólo en México sino en todo el mundo al grado tal que ha sido interpretada por grandes cantantes del mundo entero como de la talla de Elvis Presley y hasta por políticos como Edward Kennedy. La canción es considerada como un himno de la hermosa ciudad de Guadalajara en el estado de Jalisco, a dado que en cada una de sus líneas exalta la belleza de la tierra del mariachi.10.- Qué bonito es ChihuahuaCanción conocida como el corrido de Chihuahua o Qué bonito es Chihuahua, sus máximos interpretes han sido Lucha Reyes y Antonio Aguilar, quienes le han puesto su sello musical. El corrido es una descripción del estado, ya que habla de sus paisajes, gente, lugares emblemáticos, festividades y actividades cotidianas. Una canción de la época de la revolución mexicana, digno himno del norte del país."Suscribete a nuestro canal para que sigamos compartiendo lo último en Comercio Exterior y Aduanas y activa las notificaciones así no te perderás ninguna noticia"
My next guest, Kenneth Feinberg, literally stopped me in my tracks. Ken is a prominent attorney, a world-renowned MEDIATOR and the one time chief of staff of the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy. But when we all stood still on 9/11 after one of the most horrific terrorist attacks the world has ever seen, Ken stood up and wanted – indeed asked - to be counted.Ken was appointed as the Special Master of the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund just a few weeks after the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon. In this role, Ken met with nearly every family who was a victim of 9/11 at the absolute height of their grief. He listened. He empathised. He held space for their sorrow. He travelled the length and breadth of the country to make it easier for families to meet with him. He enlisted the support of others, including clergy, when victims' families were simply too broken to apply for their share of the Fund. He even offered to fill in the forms on behalf of the victims. Whilst Ken could never return a father to a grieving child, or a son to an inconsolable mother, or a husband to a pregnant wife, what he could do was ensure that some of victims' dreams would continue in their absence and that financial hardship would not be another challenge for these all, but shattered, families. Ken presided over this unprecedented Fund that ultimately awarded over $7.1 billion DOLLARS of public taxpayer money to the families of 2,983 killed and approximately 2,400 physically injured and maimed, in the most devastating of ways on 9/11.The administration of this Fund took 33 months. Ken Feinberg was never paid a cent for his efforts, insisting he take on the role on a pro bono basis. His epic story, now memorialised in his memoir – WHAT IS LIFE WORTH – has inspired the extraordinary Netflix film WORTH starring Michael Keaton and Stanley Tucci.On a more personal note, from the first instance I had the pleasure of coming across Ken, I have been overwhelmed by his warmth, generosity and his impeccable character. His Solomonic efforts in fighting for fair for every single claimant is just incredible.So it is with immense humility and gratitude that I welcome Kenneth R Feinberg to the BRAVE JOURNEYS family.This is Ken's story….

Long before documentary series were the trend, filmmakers D.A. Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus created THE ENERGY WAR: FILIBUSTER a ground-breaking episodic look at Washington, D.C in 1977-78. Part Two of the series, FILIBUSTER is a real-life political drama, taking audiences behind-the-scenes during the fierce legislative battle and historic double filibuster over President Carter's natural gas bill. Referred to as a “holy war,” the issue had evaded solutions for more than thirty years and six presidents. THE ENERGY WAR features combatants on all sides of the political aisle, from oil lobbyists to Senator Edward Kennedy to Secretary of Energy James R. Schlesinger. First aired on PBS in 1979, the series has scarcely been seen since. The documentary continues to resonate today as politicians struggle to fix our current energy crisis. Chris Hegedus, D. A. Pennebaker, and Pat Powell capture all of the drama and brinksmanship of a political era where senators did something nearly unimaginable today, they crossed party lines to negotiate an important and historically significant piece of legislation, the deregulation of the natural gas industry. Co-director Chris Hegedus joins us for a conversation on the why and how she and her collaborators were able to chronicle a ground floor, fly-on-the-wall view of political history.

In recent years, Glenn has gone beyond celebrity interviewing to writing articles and books focused on service, self-help, and inspiration and has worked with many of the leading figures in this genre as well.We begin by talking about how he was first trained as a classical pianist, studying under the renowned Kennedy Center honoree Leon Fleisher. With a dramatic change of career in his mid-20's, with no experience but considerable determination, he began writing culture profiles for the New York Times, securing his first book contract at age 26 when he was encouraged in his writing by then-Doubleday editor Jacqueline Onassis, who would later write: “I've known Glenn for some years and am his great admirer. He's witty, articulate, and has this uncanny ability to draw people out and gain their confidence.” We move on to discuss how he built his invaluable and extensive connections and he shares fascinating stories with us about his interviews with celebrities such as Katharine Hepburn, Kenya West, Robert DeNiro, Elizabeth Taylor, Al Pacino, Audrey Hepburn, Sylvester Stallone, Paul Newman and many others.

Sen. Edward Kennedy, who died in 2009, was an iconic figure in American politics, part of an American political dynasty that has been rocked by fame and tragedy. Compared to his brothers Robert F. Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy, Ted was considered a lightweight, who rode their coattails into the Senate in 1962 at the age of 30. Neal Gabler, author of the new biography, "Catching the Wind: Edward Kennedy and the Liberal Hour, 1932-1975," says that following the assassinations of his brothers, Ted Kennedy became the leading voice of American liberalism, championing the war on poverty, civil rights, and the antiwar movement. But his moral authority and his presidential ambitions were seriously damaged by his involvement in a fatal car accident on Chappaquiddick Island in 1969. The Kennedy family saga marked a milestone this year: Joe Kennedy III, grandson of RFK, lost to incumbent Sen. Ed Markey in a primary, becoming the first Kennedy ever to lose a Massachusetts election. Could this spell the end of the Kennedy dynasty? Gabler says it's possible "if the country doesn't want to give voice to the voiceless or power to powerless."
Wondery Presents Even the Rich: The Kennedy's On July 19th, 1969, Senator Edward Kennedy, scion of the greatest political dynasty in modern America, drove his Oldsmobile into a pond. He escaped. But his passenger, a woman named Mary Jo Kopechne, drowned. In the days that followed, he leveraged the Kennedy political machine to shield himself from scrutiny and safeguard his presidential aspirations. As the investigation progressed, his story about the events leading up to the crash started to fall apart. Soon he faced accusations that not even the Kennedys could overcome. This season of Even the Rich tells the story of Chappaquiddick, listen now at wondery.fm/sceneofthecrime_ETR

El día 7 de mayo de 1945 Alemania se rindió incondicionalmente ante los Aliados en Reims, Francia. Este acto sería conocido posteriormente como la "Rendición de Reims", y pondría fin a la Segunda Guerra Mundial en Europa. Pero un día después, el día 8, se volvió a firmar de nuevo la rendición alemana en Berlín. A pesar de esto, todavía se seguirían produciendo combates en la capital del ya finiquitado Tercer Reich hasta el día 9 de mayo, cuando entró oficialmente en vigor el alto el fuego. En estas 72 horas se producirían una serie de hechos en los que los movimientos políticos y la censura jugarían un papel muy importante. Acerquémonos a estos sucesos de la mano del testimonio del ya desaparecido periodista estadounidense Edward Kennedy (1905-1963).

On this edition of Political Rewind, Jimmy Carter won the White House as an outsider whose successful grassroots campaign took Democratic party regulars by surprise in 1976. But by 1980, with multiple crises driving down confidence in the Carter presidency, many Democrats thought it was time to turn to the last remaining scion of a legendary Democratic family.

Listen NowSince, in part, April is recognized by DHHS as National Minority Health Month (this year's theme is "Accelerating Health Equity in the Nation") it is thoroughly appropriate to discuss Professor Daniel Dawes's recent work, "150 Years of Obamacare." Professor Dawes's work begins with a discussion of efforts since the Civil War to reform national health care policy beginning with the 1865 Freedmen's Bureau Act. The work moreover provides an accounting of his and others efforts to lobby successfully for health equity provisions in passing the 2010 Affordable Care Act ( ACA). During this 31-minute conversation, Professor Dawes discusses passage of the ACA, i.e., "Obamacare,", e.g., Republican opposition to the legislation and moreover the importance of the sixty plus health equity-related provisions in the legislation and what are his priorities for furthering health care equity or reducing disparities in health care delivery and outcomes - that sadly remain pronounced. Attorney and Professor Daniel E. Dawes is the Executive Director of Health Policy and External Affairs at the Morehouse School of Medicine and a Lecturer within Morehouse's Satcher Health Leadership Institute and the Department of Community Health and Preventive Medicine. He founded and chairs the Working Group on Health Disparities and Health Reform and is the co-founder of the Health Equity Leadership and Exchange Network (HELEN). Previously, Professor Dawes held positions with the Premier Healthcare Alliance, the American Psychological Association and served on the Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) Committee under Senator Edward Kennedy. He is the recipient of numerous award including the Congressional Black Caucus Leadership and Advocacy Award. He earned his JD from the University of Nebraska and his BS from Nova Southeastern University.For more information concerning Professor Dawes's work, go to: https://jhupbooks.press.jhu.edu/content/150-years-obamacare.
