In an era of popular weight loss drugs, including GLP-1 agonists like Ozempic (semaglutide), Victoza (liraglutide), Wegovy, and Saxenda, many people are looking for safer, natural alternatives. Calocurb (use code BEN10 to save 10%) is a patented natural plant-based supplement clinically proven to reduce hunger by 30%, cravings by 40%, and calorie intake by an average of 18% — in just an hour. It does this by stimulating the body's own "feel full" hunger hormones cholecystokinin (CCK), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and peptide YY (PYY). In this episode, Dr. Edward Walker, a scientist and lecturer who helped develop Calocurb, will introduce you to the concept of the "bitter break" and the powerful plant extract, Amarasate, which has shown remarkable results in stimulating anti-appetite hormones when delivered to the small intestine. You'll also get to explore the science behind how this extract works, its impact on glucose and insulin levels, and much more! Over the last 13 years, Dr. Walker's primary research focus has been the investigation of plant-based appetite suppressants that may reduce hunger and support healthy food choices. This work led to the development of Amarasate, a novel New Zealand hops-based appetite suppressant that shares an overlapping mode of action with a new class of effective GLP-1-based anti-obesity drugs. He is passionate about plant-based nutraceuticals and believes that with the appropriate scientific research, they have the potential to improve health and wellness, and even prevent or delay the development of chronic disease. Whether you're interested in nutrition, weight management, or cutting-edge health science, this episode is packed with insights you won't want to miss.

Dr. Hoffman continues his conversation with Dr. Edward Walker, a scientist and lecturer with The New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research Limited, a New Zealand Crown Research Institute. He helped discover and develop Amarasate, the active ingredient in Calocurb.

Dr. Edward Walker, a scientist from the New Zealand Institute for Plant and Food Research, details the rigorous research process behind Calocurb, a natural product aimed at curbing appetite and fighting obesity. Dr. Walker explains how his team identified and formulated Amarasate, a compound derived from New Zealand hops, which mimics the appetite-suppressing effects of certain gastrointestinal hormones like GLP-1. The conversation also covers the evolution of the product, the scientific studies confirming its efficacy, and practical considerations for its use. They further delve into the challenges and potentials of using natural alternatives to pharmaceutical weight loss drugs.

David Edward Walker is the author of Coyote's Swing: A Memoir and Critique of Mental Hygiene in Native America, which was published in February by Washington State University Press. A psychologist, novelist, public speaker, poet, and singer-songwriter, Walker is a Missouri Cherokee descendent. For more than three decades he's worked as a professor, psychotherapist, and consultant based in Washington State — including four years as a psychologist for the U.S. Indian Health Service (IHS) and, afterward, more than 20 consulting for the Confederated Tribes and Bands of the Yakama Nation. In much of his writing, including Coyote's Swing, he addresses the devastating impact of the Western, biomedical mental health system on Indigenous peoples — and their experiences, across the centuries, of intergenerational oppression and trauma both personal and systemic. Five years ago, Walker wrote a series of articles for Indian Country Today that zeroed in on such oppressive practices, including the harms of psychiatric treatment on Native individuals and the history of labeling Native children with “feeblemindedness” and, later, ADHD.  He holds a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of Detroit.  *** Thank you for being with us to listen to the podcast and read our articles this year. MIA is funded entirely by reader donations.

Introducing the Band:Your hosts Scot Bertram (@ScotBertram) and Jeff Blehar (@EsotericCD) with guest Bruce Edward Walker. He's Midwest Regional Editor for The Center Square. He has written extensively on popular culture, literature and public policy for reference books, newspapers, magazines, and websites. He's on Twitter at @bruceedwalker.Bruce's Music Pick: Warren ZevonThe show begins its 2021 finishing kick with a long-requested episode featuring the music and career of the great Warren Zevon. Zevon is an artist with passionate fans who, at the same time, also can prove to be difficult to grab onto for newcomers. We hope to provide a path.As a singer/songwriter, Zevon can be difficult to pigeonhole. He's a cynic, yes. He writes about portions of society -- outlaws, sociopaths, drug dealers, villains -- that many others might like to forget. He's full of humor and wit. He writes biographical songs yet also has a wonderful way with literary narratives. He was a drunk. He recovered. He was a drunk again. Personal demons often got the best of him. Yet the work stands up.As Scot mentions on the show, a trip through his discography is like a series of mini “We Are the World.” Zevon, for most of his career, was able to attract the biggest California rock stars and the best session musicians around to contribute to his albums. Hey, there's Bonnie Raitt! Lindsey Buckingham! Leland Sklar! Ben Keith! Don Henley! David Lindley! Jackson Browne! Linda Ronstadt! Jeff Porcaro! Steve Lukather! J.D. Souther!The three of us have very different opinions on various portions of Zevon's career, so this one can be a spicy listen. Send lawyers, guns, and money … and get ready for Warren Zevon.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR As a child, Melanie Cossey delighted in reading stories that left her feeling disturbed, like Shirley Jackson's The Lottery, and Poe's The Telltale Heart. Her love of the Victorian period combined with her penchant for impactful, unsettling stories nurtured her desire to create troubling tales of gothic horror. Melanie's short, The Nymphalidae won Honorable Mention in the Storm Crow Tavern's 2015 Tales from Beermat Microfiction Contest. Her short fiction has been shortlisted in numerous contests. Melanie's gothic horror, A Peculiar Curiosity, was released on October 26, 2018 by Fitzroy Books. She is a member of the Horror Writer's Association. ABOUT THE BOOK - A PECULIAR CURIOSITY Anthropology professor Duncan Clarke must get a handle on his anxiety disorder by the end of Christmas break, or risk losing the position to which he has tirelessly devoted himself for decades. When Clarke intercepts a box of macabre curiosities, he discovers a travel journal from 1865 containing frantic scribblings of Edward Walker--an eccentric Victorian curiosity dealer. Tucked within the journal is a disturbing drawing of a young boy, "Specimen Z", the apparent victim of a Haitian Vodou witch doctor. Desperate to salvage his professional career and discover the fate of the mysterious boy, Clarke follows gruesome clues left within his predecessor's relic collection and discovers a dark secret Walker kept in his basement and a connection to the brutal crimes terrorizing London. Clarke's holiday pastime becomes an all-consuming obsession as he begins to understand the chilling implications of the journal and the horror that ties his fate to Walker's-for Clarke will stop at nothing to discover the truth, even at the cost of his career, his family, and his very life. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KCQ96SY/ www.melaniecossey.com

These and more tech tips, news, and updates visit - CraigPeterson.com --- Transcript: Below is a rush transcript of this segment, it might contain errors. Airing date: 08/011/2018 Lava Lamp Security. Fitness Trackers. Social Media and Mentality. Two Factor Authentication. Craig Peterson: [00:00:00] Hey, Good Morning, everybody. Everyone is listening around the world its really kind of cool to see some of these stats. We've got people in Ireland, of course, the U.K., in France, and Belgium, and Canada. Just really all over the world, Australia and Russia, it's very cool. So, welcome, of course. this is Craig Peterson. We've got a lot of stuff to talk about today. One of the things I think is so cool we're going to talk about is lava lamps, and you might be asking yourself what does that have to do with technology? Isn't that from like the 60s or 70s? This is very, very, cool what's happening with lava lamps. One of the world's top security companies says social media is giving children the mentality of 3-year-olds, and it isn't just kids that are having these problems. Facebook is trying to expand, and part of that expansion is trying to find out what your bank balance is. The Pentagon. This is so long overdue, they are finally restricting the use of fitness trackers and we'll tell you why these two-step or two-factor authentication schemes have some major major holes. If they're using your cell phone, we'll tell you why, and how you can get around that, and keep your bank and other information secure from places, not just Facebook. Computer viruses, yes they do cause major problems and they've just hit one of the big companies when it comes to tech. And that is Apple. We'll tell you how Apple is affected by this massive virus, and how to make sure no one is spying on your computer. [00:01:40] If that's of interest to you, or if any of these articles are, you can text me right now I'll send you a link to them. My Number 8 5 5 3 8 5 55 53. That's 8 5 5 3 8 5. Fifty-five fifty-three. Let me know what articles are of interest to you. We will send you a link to that. And this one, making sure people aren't spying on your computer actually has links directly to some of the software. So, here we go stick around. We're going to spend a little time on this lava lamp thing because I think this is absolutely phenomenal. There are a number of companies out there, of course, and their only purpose in life is to help you in business and government with security. And that's something I've been doing for almost 20 years. Of course, for my business clients is really making sure their networks and computers are safe secure and working, Right. You don't want to put in some massive security system and not be able to get your work done, Right. Putting everything in a vault - is that really going to fix your problem and turn off the power. No, no, it's not. So, we have to walk this line between security that is functional and useful and security that is just going to get in your way so much that people are going to resent it and not use it. Just like last week I was on the radio, and with Matt Gagnon and Ken Altshuler. [00:03:12] But, anyways with Matt and I explained some of the major problems that are happening right now with smart TVs. These smart TVs are using Android and I explained why it's a problem, what they're doing, how they're watching us, monitoring us how bad guys are using the information. And he shrugged his shoulders well whatever I don't care. I'm still going to use my android stuff. And, I just had to shake my head. Now I understand that some are, just so useful. And, in fact, for the first time ever I have an Amazon Echo in my house and I've never had one before. There have been major security problems but this tech has been out there now for a couple of years. They've gotten rid of some of the problems. Locally the machines figure out when you're calling their name their wakeup word that I am not going to use right now. But for Amazon or Apple et cetera. So, it isn't streaming up to the cloud like they did when they first came out. Now Apple didn't do that. But we're not going to get into any of those details right now. So, that's been a major security problem for me. And now that problem solved I have it in the house and I am finding it just to be amazing, really useful, really fun. And bottom line, I'm so glad I did it. You know I got this little Amazon Echo and it's unfortunate, that Apple's fallen behind Amazon is beating them like crazy, like a rented mule, right.  [00:04:41] Amazon's beating Apple because the Apple stuff is more expensive, it's harder to tie in. Amazon, now from your Echo you can control basically anything in your home. There's devices that attach into it. It's just phenomenal what they've been able to do. They've made it extremely useful and the price point is fantastic. In fact a bit of a side note. A study came out that said basically Amazon can give these Amazon Echo devices out for free, and still make money, because the average person that has these things is spending over 400 dollars a year with them on Amazon. And you can use them also to order things, it just makes life so much simpler for you. So, you know problems, problems, problems, but it's all security related. We have to watch what's going out from our homes, from our offices, what's coming in, and how do you do that. Well, this one particular company called CloudFlare does it with lava lamps. Now you remember these things. There is a guy from Britain who came up with them and what was his name. Edward Walker, I think Edward Craven Walker that is it. So his lava lamp made it into the late nineties cultural comeback but he didn't see what happens now because inside the San Francisco offices of Cloudflare they have 100 lava lamps on shelves. So, there the right on top of each other shelves. It's really kind of cool. And of course the lava lamp. Think about what's in it there you've got I think it's oil and water and wax and it heats up and it swirls randomly and it's really kind of peaceful to look at.  [00:06:24] I've always enjoyed lava lamps. Make a nice little present. I had one or two more recently that ended up breaking and I didn't have. Remember they used to have a light bulb underneath them and that's what was used to heat it up. Nowadays, they're not used in the light bulbs but if you think about the patterns in the lava lamps, they are continually changing they're continually morphing. And when the light comes in from the outside window and heats up or the temperature in the room rises or drops these are all factors that influence what that lava lamp is going to do. What the wax inside and that's what you're typically looking at is going to do. So, they figured at CloudFlare. How about we just put hundred of these things up and get them running. We'll put them in the lobby and then we will put cameras, shoot video of these lava lamps and use that as kind of a random number generator because random numbers are pretty darn hard to generate just in general. So, you can use things you can use background radiation and that's been used for a long time it is really, rather random. We can't predict any of that type of radiation, the background radiation. But they figured this is probably just as good maybe even better. So, they are watching these things.  [00:07:48] Any change in the video, causes a change in the random number generation, and what used to maneuver or manipulate, it is called a salt and it uses all of that. So, if you're walking in their lobby you're part of that randomization if the sun's coming in as part of the randomization.  [00:08:10] Now, they've taken a couple more things that aren't there in that lobby so, it can't really be hacked and can't be predicted. But it is really, really, cool because there's never twice the same scene. It's virtually impossible, statistically impossible with 100 of these things running so, really kind of cool and it's super-powered way to generate these cryptographic keys. I'm just, I'm tickled pink because it's just such a real cool way of doing it. OK. Next, here we're going to talk about kids and social media. Now, what we know about kids, right. We've we've been kids, were around kids some of us have kids, grandkids and kids like to play with things. When I was young we used to go outside, and we'd get kicked out of the house if we were in the house. We'd have to go outside and we'd play and we'd have just a gas. And in the summer living up in Canada up north up, in Canada, it would barely get dark at night. And so we'd be out playing. I remember kicking the can, I've shared this story before at about 10 o'clock at night 10:00 11:00 o'clock and we think it's just Twilight it's starting to get dark and probably should think about going home and my mom coming out and finding us and getting upset because we were out so late.  [00:09:34] Well, I didn't have a watch. Did you expect for me, right? Well, kids love social media. They love playing video games and when we're talking about kids here we're not just talking about really young kids. I know a lot of 30-year-olds that play a lot of video games, and to me, that's such a waste of time. But anyways, that's me right. I'm a much older generation. Well, there's an interesting thing that came out this week in The Daily Telegraph over in the U.K. where Baroness Susan Greenfield. Now, she's the former director of the Royal Institute of Great Britain, said that social media and video games have left children unable to communicate with one another and unable to think for themselves. Children who have been raised around these devices, much worse than when we were raised, and we had some TV, right that we were plopped in front of. But, these kids are constantly looking for something to distract from and she's predicting that and "here's a quote "I predict that people are going to be like 3-year-olds, emotional risk-taking, poor social skills, weak self-identity, and short attention spans." Now, that's really something since. [00:10:52] Look at her background here. She's a senior research fellow at the University of Oxford. She has supported her claims by looking at a study that was conducted by psychologists a few years ago at Virginia and Harvard Universities. She found that students are she didn't But, these studies found that students who would prefer to give themselves an electric shock, they'd prefer to give themselves an electric shock than to be left alone to think without distraction for 10 minutes. That's just crazy. She went on to say and this is an interesting article. Daily Telegraph they require a subscription. But, the study says. According to Her, people need a constant stimulation from their environment. Every single moment that implies they are no longer able to be left to contemplate their own thoughts. And that's something I've had to do many times, right. Think about your thoughts. There's a digital detox expert also out there she's the author of Stop staring at screens and her name is Tanya Goodin and she's claiming that reducing the use of digital devices can offer significant benefits to children. I could not agree more with Baroness Greenfield she tells the independent. A study from UCLA found that children who had all digital devices removed from them for a week were better able to read nonverbal communication and others than a group of children who carried on using screens. [00:12:19] And so think about this when you thinking about your kids or grandkids or maybe even yourself. This is a real problem. What's the first thing you do in the morning, right? How many times have we heard this test? The first thing you do in the morning. The last thing you do at night if it has anything to do with touching your smart device there is a problem and we've got to deal with that problem.  As humans, we've got to deal with each other. Now many people are saying while over time we're just going to have our brains hardwired directly into some of these machines, we're not going to have to communicate with other people, we're not going to really have to think for ourselves. I don't buy any of that. People buy things from people, and you have to understand people, you have to have relationships with people, you have to have a relationship in order to build a family, have a family, right. We've got to watch this and we've got to watch it with our kids. All right let's talk about Mark Zuckerberg and what he's up to here? what does this all about? He wants to know our bank balances. Wow.  [00:13:28] Well, we know Mark Zuckerberg has been out there trying to make money. [00:13:31] You saw a couple of weeks ago a massive plunge in the market value of Facebook, their stock went down. What was it 20 percent or so? Really, really big. And Facebook has announced that they expect over the foreseeable future. Bottom line here that they are going to continue to lose eyeballs, so people are starting to leave Facebook. They're not paying as much attention to it. And I think that really when you get right down to it they've done it to themselves in so many ways and started complaining a couple of years ago when they made a massive change to their programs, where the programs were at that point, starting to not show you articles from people you follow even though you wanted to see what they had to say. And frankly, it's just gotten worse and worse. So, I would expect just like every other big company Facebook's finally going to fall out of favor here, at some point. So, they've also struggled with some concerns about data privacy. You certainly heard about that, and what happened when he had to testify in front of Congress. We also know what happened with the Obama campaign getting the information on pretty much every user in the world. But, certainly, the Obama campaign from Facebook got information on everyone in the United States that was likely voter. And, then how the Trump campaign got some information on tens of thousands. Nowhere, near what Obama's campaign had. But by that time people were sensitized to it, right.  [00:15:06] Obama didn't get any criticism for it. But I think that even though he did a much much worse thing people just weren't paying attention, much worse than what Trump had done in the 2016 election campaign. So, now people are sensitized to it we don't want it to happen again. And, yet there are some other articles in the news this week, who won't be really touching on but they are talking about how Facebook is having major problems trying to identify, who it is that is putting out these fake news, and ads out on their Web site trying to influence campaigns. Now, used to be pretty easy you'd look at an ad and the wording would be bad, the grammar would be bad, There might even be spelling mistakes, and you say this is this is obviously fake. Now, they're going to regular U.S. based Web sites and just stealing the copy from those putting them into the ads. I don't think things are going to improve much in the 2018 or 2020 cycles, because the bad guys are just getting better at hiding, and you know where they are, and what they're doing. When we're looking at Facebook it has become entrenched. Many of us are paying a lot of attention to it. I am involved in a few different groups on Facebook and we're helping each other out with things and I help people with security problems and stuff. In fact, I had a closed group that really I know we had about almost 300 odd people in it. [00:16:33] And I just plain didn't use it. So, I shut the group down and maybe we'll bring it back to life at some point. But what we're talking about right now is Facebook, and where they want to go, because Facebook has warned analysts that active users could decline, the number of active users could decline and the amount of time they're using it for the foreseeable future. And they also came out with another announcement which was Facebook is planning on tying into your bank accounts. And even though they lost 20 percent in one day from the first problem, the second announcement drove shares up about four and a half percent. So, they approached apparently some large banks, Bank of America said forget about it. We don't want it. We don't want to have anything to do with this. Other banks are taking a kind of a wait and see type of an attitude which I think is a really good way to do it. Facebook is saying we want to integrate your bank accounts into messenger so that you can check your bank account balances. You can send money to receive money. They really want to be in that financial business. Now we talked about that before and how Facebook has been experimenting with blockchain technology, in an attempt to do a few things, solve a few problems, one of which is they want to be involved in every transaction. And one of the things they're asking the banks for is what are you buying. [00:18:06] So, if you have a credit card, a bank account, checking account whatever you're using to buy things they want to know everything you're buying so, that they can offer you ads for that category of stuff. Do you want Facebook to have that? We've already got privacy concerns with Facebook, right, Do you know about those. Those have been high in the news we know about hackers trying to get into all the systems out there. Do we really want another area of exposure? You know I I really don't know. OK, fitness trackers why you may not want to use one. And finally, why the Pentagon has finally come out and said, No. We talked about this a year maybe two years ago. You know we have people using the fitness trackers that they're really kind of cool. And they have GPS built into them. Some of them some of them use your cell phone to get the GPS so you can track your runs, right. That makes sense. Easy to do. It's kind of fun to do. You can compete with other people. So, hey I did that same run as you did. I did it faster. You can keep track of how much exercise that you've had how far you even walk to right there not necessarily only for running, but here's the problem. We have had cases, for instance, down in New York City down in Central Park where the bad guys, in this case, potential rapists and others, have been tracking the movement of cell phones and the movement of fitness trackers.  [00:19:48] So, they know who was running by a tree, for instance, So, they'll have the little receiver up there listening for the Bluetooth signature or the Beacon or the Wi-Fi signature or the beacon. And, that's obviously a real problem. That's a problem I think everyone should be concerned about if you're using the fitness trackers. Well, there's another one the military has, that we talked about well over a year ago, and that is some of these fitness trackers are uploading all of your data all of your runs to a Web site up on the cloud. Now, that's kind of interesting, right. So, you can see a global heat map I pulled it up I shared it with you guys a year or more ago. It's published by the GPS tracking company called Strava. S T R A V A and they use the satellite information that they're getting from these fitness tracker companies, in order to track where you. So, heavily populated areas are going to be well lit. But, when we're talking about the war zones like Iraq or Syria they're showing scattered pockets of activity, which could denote military bases or government personnel using fitness trackers, as they're moving around because the locals there are not using them. So, it's a reasonable assumption. And, so I use that data you can go into the heat map yourself and have a look at it and I was able to see circles right on Oval's really running along airstrips at air bases, running around the perimeter of bases, on the inside walls or even outside the walls.  [00:21:29] So, you could see where the military personnel were. Now, we have some secret bases and those secret bases were outlined, as well by this GPS information from these heat maps. So, the Pentagon has come out now with a policy, finally, that was obtained by The Associated Press and it stopped short of banning fitness trackers or these other electronic devices that can be linked to cell phone apps that can do the exact same thing. But, it didn't ban them but it did say these devices presented a significant risk to military personnel. So, those capabilities must be turned off in certain operational areas. So, under this new order, the military leaders in different areas have the ability to use their discretion to figure out whether or not troops under their command can and should to use GPS function on their devices. And, that's obviously going to be based on the security threat in those areas are on that base. Good. Good article. Interesting article a lot of different opinions out there. Well, we're not going to be able to get to the two-factor authentication stuff and how texting you a login code, just isn't enough. We're not going to be able to cover this computer virus that's crippled iPhone chip maker out there. The big guy the number, one contract manufacturer of chips in the world.  [00:22:51] Yeah, they got a virus right. What would happen to you? I betcha this has hurt the Apple stock, right there. But, you know they got back online because they had the right stuff in place, even though they got infected in the first place. And, then I think maybe the most important article is something you're going to have to read. And this is how to make sure no one is spying on your computer. Great article. You'll find it on my Web site. Craig Peterson dot com or as I mentioned the very beginning if you have any questions at all. Go ahead and text me. You can call, as well, but texting will get through. Phone calls are going to probably end up in voicemail 8 5 5 3 8 5 55 53 I answer all of the questions. We go directly. This is my number 8 5 5 3 8 5 55 53. More than glad to help you out, but this article goes through some of the software that you probably should be using for yourself to protect yourself. And if you'd like me to put together a special little master class on that I'd be glad to do that. We've done them before free webinars. Let me know more than glad to do one for you guys who are listening, right now. But you have to let me know you'd like to see it and then I'm more than glad to spend a few hours in putting it together and online with you. [00:24:15] I think actually the last webinar, took me out a week to put together. But let me know 8 5 5 3 8 5 55 53. Have a great week and we will be back with you again next week. And, usually Monday Tuesdays and Wednesdays I release a podcast as well so keep an eye out for that. Craig Peterson dot com slash iTunes or just search for me in iTunes or SoundCloud or wherever you get your podcast. Take care. Bye-bye.   --- Related articles: Is anyone spying on your computer?

We talk this week to Dr Edward Walker one of the lead scientists involved in discovering Amarasate™. Amarasate is a natural extract of New Zealand hops, that has been clinically demonstrated to regulate eating behaviour. An early stage clinical trial suggested that taking Amarasate before a meal can reduce the amount of food eaten and therefore reduce calorie intake.

On today's edition of Radio Free Acton we have Bruce Edward Walker talking to Sam Karnick on Prog Rock. After that we have Caroline Roberts interviewing economist Victor Claar on the morality of price gouging. Then to top it off we have another edition of the Acton Mail bag, this time featuring Rev. Robert Sirico in the chair to answer some questions from our interns. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Caroline Lee, Michael McQuarrie, and Edward Walker are the editors of Democratizing Inequalities: Dilemma of the New Public Participation (NYU Press 2015). Lee is associate professor of sociology at Lafayette College, McQuarrie is associate professor of sociology at London School of Economics and Political Science, and Walker is associate professor of sociology at the University of California, Los Angeles. Lee is also author of Do-It-Yourself Democracy (Oxford UP 2015). How can the people be heard? For how long have activists fought to answer that question? In these two books, the answer is surprising and somewhat depressing. Many of the activities that promised to empower the public, and give voice to the once silenced (town hall meetings, public deliberation, community building), have been taken over by interests with only passing concern for those voices. In Do-It-Yourself Democracy, Lee tells us about the large industry that has formed around public participation and the perverse effects of this transformation. So many well-meaning activists now compete for public participation contracts, many of those contracts aimed to enable corporations to present the veil of openness and transparency. In Democratizing Inequalities, McQuarrie, both one of the editors and a chapter author, focuses on how Cleveland, OH has seen participatory practices “transformed from the tools of democratization into tools of elite authority.” Read these two books and you will experience the next consensus-building meeting you are invited to in a very different way.

DEEP EMOTIONCécile McLorin Salvant was born on August 28, 1989 and raised in Miami, Florida of a French mother and a Haitian father. She started classical piano studies at 5, and began singing in the Miami Choral Society at 8. Early on, she developed an interest in classical voice, began studying with private instructors, and later with Edward Walker, vocal teacher at the University of Miami. In 2007, Cécile moved to Aix-en-Provence, France, to study law as well as classical and baroque voice at the Darius Milhaud Conservatory. It was in Aix-en-Provence, with reedist and teacher Jean-François Bonnel, that she started learning about improvisation, instrumental and vocal repertoire ranging from the 1910s on, and sang with her first band. In 2009, after a series of concerts in Paris, she recorded her first album "Cécile", with Jean-François Bonnel's Paris Quintet. A year later, she won the Thelonious Monk competition in Washington D.C.Cécile performs unique interpretations of unknown and scarcely recorded jazz and blues compositions. She focuses on a theatrical portrayal of the jazz standard and composes music and lyrics which she also sings in French, her native language as well as in Spanish. She enjoys popularity in Europe and in the United States, performing in clubs, concert halls, and festivals accompanied by renowned musicians like Jean-Francois Bonnel, Rodney Whitaker, Aaron Diehl, Dan Nimmer, Sadao Watanabe, Jacky Terrasson (with an a noted collaboration in his "Gouache" Universal CD), Archie Shepp, and Jonathan Batiste.  She sings for the 2nd consecutive year for the Chanel’s « Chance » ad campaign. In August 2012, Cécile recorded at the Avatar Studios a CD to be released early next year for the Mack Avenue Label with Aaron Diehl, Rodney Whitaker, Herlin Riley and James Chirillo.Cécile has performed at numerous festivals such as Jazz à Vienne, Ascona, Whitley Bay, Montauban, Foix, with Wynton Marsalis and the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra in New York’s Lincoln Center and Chicago’s Symphony Center and with her own band at the Kennedy Center, the Spoleto Jazz Festival, Detroit Jazz Festival and other venues.Ben Ratliff writes in The New York Times “she sings clearly, with her full pitch range, from a pronounced low end to full and distinct high notes, used sparingly — like the one I heard a few weeks ago at Dizzy’s Club Coca-Cola on the last word of “What a Little Moonlight Can Do,” the spire in a magnificent set. Her voice clamps into each song, performing careful variations on pitch, stretching words but generally not scatting; her face conveys meaning, representing sorrow or serenity like a silent-movie actor. She also presents a lot of jazz history, and other things…”To visit the Cecile McLorin Salvant website CLICK HERE
