Jaya Tiwari, Senior Vice President of Clinical and Regulatory Affairs at XVIVO, which is focused on improving organ preservation for transplantation. Current organ preservation methods using ice coolers limit the time and distance organs can be transported.  XVIVO's perfusion technology can significantly extend the preservation time of hearts, kidneys, livers, and lungs, providing hospitals and transplant centers access to more viable organs. The company is passionate about increasing organ availability to give more patients access to life-saving transplants. Jaya explains, "I take it back to 1967 when the first heart transplant was performed in Cape Town, and the way that the heart was preserved and transported in essentially an ice box. The standard of care for the preservation of organs is still an ice or an ice cooler with ice. So, this decreases metabolic activities. So, to try to preserve the organs so that you can get them from the donor to the recipient, the problem is that the organs are not viable for a very long time, and they start to degrade very quickly. That really limits the amount of time that the organs can be on ice, transported from the donor to the recipient hospital. Because of that logistical complexity, a lot of organs are ultimately not transplanted." "There have been some preclinical studies that we've done that have shown viability of the heart tissue for up to 24 hours. But what I think is probably the most remarkable example that we've seen is that the universities in Paris have put together something called an investigator-initiated study, where they actually were able to transport a donor heart from the French West Indies to Paris for transplant. That was about 12 hours that the heart was in transport and using the device. So that's remarkable because that essentially tripled the standard preservation time for hearts. Now, in the US, we have a clinical trial where we're currently seeking approval from the FDA that it's safe and effective to use this device for up to 12 hours." #XVIVO #HealthcareInnovation #LifeSavingTechnology #PatientOutcomes #OrganTransplantation #OrganTransplants xvivogroup.com Download the transcript here

“When people talk about what skills kids are lacking in America these days, two of the skills that come up a lot are the ability to listen to each other and have some empathy for each other. Some people would say it's not just kids that are lacking those skills; it might be what is really missing from our society. I think choir is the best subject to teach those skills.”Hailed by The Oregonian for providing “the finest choral concerts in Portland in recent memory,” Ethan Sperry is the Director of Choral Activities at Portland State University, where he conducts the world-renowned Chamber Choir and leads undergraduate and graduate programs in conducting. He is also the Artistic Director and Conductor of the Oregon Repertory Singers, one of America's most distinguished adult choruses.

Under his direction in 2013 The Portland State Chamber Choir became the first American Choir ever to win the Grand Prix at the Seghizzi International Choral Contest in Italy, and in 2017 they became the first American choir to win the Grand Prix at the Bali International Choral Festival, the largest choral gathering in Asia. Sperry has recorded albums for the Naxos and Gothic labels. A prolific arranger of World Music for choirs, Dr. Sperry is the editor of the Global Rhythms series for Earthsongs Music, one of the best-selling choral series in the world, and is also published by Hal Leonard.

Send us a text message and tell us your thoughts.Join Strictly Facts as we share the captivating journey of education in the French Caribbean, focusing on Martinique's rich history throughout the 20th century. With the insightful PhD candidate Nora Eguienta by my side, we unravel the largely untold stories of women educators who profoundly shaped the educational and political landscape from 1920 to 1960. These women dominated teaching positions yet were conspicuously absent from leadership roles—a paradox that persisted until well into the late 1960s. Nora helps is to explore this intriguing dynamic, diving into historical narratives and the powerful activism led by figures like Paulette Nardal, challenging the biases that limited women's roles in education.Our conversation also takes a scholarly turn as we discuss Patrick Chamoiseau's "Chemin d'école," providing a cultural snapshot of the 1950s schooling experience amid Martinique's transition into a French department. Through this lens, we address the educational challenges of cultural and linguistic barriers, while highlighting the unsung heroes who contributed to the island's rich history. From the impact of migration on teaching staff to the importance of curricula that reflected local histories, we weave a complex tapestry of topics that emphasize the profound influence of everyday individuals on the social history of the French West Indies. Join us in celebrating the resilience and contributions of those who paved the way for future generations.Nora Eguienta is a PhD candidate in the Department of History at the University Paris 8—Saint-Denis. She is preparing a thesis titled “Les institutrices de l'école primaire laïque en Martinique des années 1920 aux années 1960.” Her research focuses on the history of education, especially on women teaching in elementary schools in Martinique during colonial and postcolonial times. Nora analyzes women professionalization in the context of development of public schools during the French Third Republic and studies their different types of political commitment as educated women living in a colonial society. She is also a certified teacher, teaching contemporary history at middle school, high school and college level.

Hear about travel to the West Indies, to the islands of Sint Maarten/Saint Martin, Anguilla, Saba, Saint Barthélemy, and Sint Eustatius, as the Amateur Traveler talks to Jeff Ohlfs about his island-hopping adventure. Why should you travel to these 5 islands? Jeff says, "Some of them are not visited at all. Some of them are overly visited. They're all near each other, so it makes for a nice little grouping. I used St. Martin as a base. St. Martin is known as the friendly island and you can do daily flights to each of the other islands." Jeff recommends an itinerary that includes visiting five of the Leeward Islands in the Lesser Antilles, known as the British, Dutch, and French West Indies. His suggested itinerary includes the following islands: St. Martin (French and Dutch) Use St. Martin as a base for island hopping. Stay at the Azure Hotel and Art Studio on Simpson Bay Beach. Explore both the Dutch side (Philipsburg) and the French side (Marigot). Visit historical forts like Fort Amsterdam and Fort St. Louis. Experience the famous Princess Juliana International Airport at Maho Beach. Recommended dining: Beirut Restaurant (Mediterranean), Mary's Boon Restaurant (local fish), and Villa Royale (French side, goat curry with guava berry liqueur). ... https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-the-west-indies/ Learn more about your ad choices.

His second intervention will focus on the specificities of the socio-professional environment in which he had to establish himself: realities of the healthcare and social protection systems, medical and paramedical demographics, interprofessional dynamics, and doctor-patient relationships. These are all topics he had to approach with a pragmatic perspective.   Dr Hassan DEBBAGH is passionate about valve repair and aortic surgery, circulatory assistance and transplantation.

The room given to surgical techniques across the various communication channels, whether through lectures and conferences or through the multitude of audiovisual media, is overwhelmingly significant. However, let us not forget that before the technique, there are certainly years of human adventures. From the benches of medical schools to the long companionship required in cardiovascular surgery, it entails thousands of hours spent with patients, among colleagues, in the operating room, and significantly beyond.    After 20 years of expatriation in France, between Paris, the French West Indies and Toulouse, Dr. Hassan DEBBAGH, a cardiovascular surgeon, decided to practice in Morocco, his country of origin. Between legitimacy and challenge, the leap into the unknown did not wait: assembling a team and offering his skills in what could be considered a medical desert in his specialty was truly important to him. His first intervention will focus on the reasons that led him to make this life decision, and the different aspects he had to consider in his approach to a medico-social environment that certainly had not waited for his return to evolve.  Dr Hassan DEBBAGH is passionate about valve repair and aortic surgery, circulatory assistance and transplantation. He has been part of the French-Carribean Mobile Circulatory Assistance Unit, Vice-President of the French Association of Young Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgeons. His recent ambition is to be a driving force of proposals in the Moroccan healthcare ecosystem.  Visit his LinkedIn Profile : Hassan Debbagh - LinkedIn   About Behind the OR Behind the OR is the official podcast channel by Peters Surgical.

Nef, short for Nefertiti, is born and raised in the French West Indies. Her mother is a devout Catholic who believes in racial integration, while her father advocates armed revolution to bring down white rule around the world. Nef attends college in New York, graduating with a journalism degree, and then participates in the 1964 “Mississippi Freedom Summer” project led by Martin Luther King Jr.Back in New York, the editor of the Harlem Herald hires Nef as a reporter. She covers fires and crimes in Harlem until her editor assigns her to do the newspaper's first-ever investigative report, covering the Black Panther Party in Oakland.Following the Party's astonishing rise to national prominence, she meets Eldridge Cleaver and Huey Newton. Cleaver wants to unleash the Panthers immediately in guerrilla warfare against the police, whereas Newton wants to establish community programs in order to enlist the support of the black community when he decides to order the revolution to begin. As Nef gets more intimately familiar with Newton (whom the Panthers reverentially call “Servant of the People,” or “Servant” for short, and the FBI dubs as the “Black Messiah”), she begins to question his veracity and intentions.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio.

Born and raised between France, Guadeloupe and Martinique, Jess found a passion for language and decided that teaching others how to love languages would be part of her professional journey. Jess is her mum's only daughter and her dad's oldest daughter. Due to working conditions in the French West Indies and her desire to live her passion, she decided to teach in China- an unexpected career detour and far from what she originally planned career wise. We hope that Jess' time in China helps her grow in all the ways that she desires. Thank you for taking some time to listen to this episode and for leaving your constructive feedback.

Atanaz is a French hip-hop artist whose family stems from the French West Indies. During his time in New York, he studied the American hip-hop business model in parallel to law. He popped by FRANCE 24 to talk to Marjorie Hache about his new album "Vivre," which very much reflects the mood – and hope – for a post-pandemic world.

Born in the French West Indies, Frantz Fanon is one of the most significant thinkers to emerge out of the anti-colonial struggles of the second half of the twentieth century. Trained as a psychiatrist, Fanon became known as an ardent critic of European colonialism and participated in the Algerian struggle for national liberation. However, his work also took a critical stance towards post-colonial elites and their stewardship of the newly independent nations of Asia and Africa. In this episode of This is Revolution, we discuss the meaning and legacy of Fanon's works and ask what they might teach us today about the global political order.   Peter Hudis: Peter Hudis is Professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Oakton Community College and author of Marx's Concept of the Alternative to Capitalism (Brill, 2012) and Frantz Fanon: Philosopher of the Barricades (Pluto, 2015).

Ayiti, in the Black radical imagination, is more than an idea. It is the material representation of African/a freedom. It is the exemplar of the promises, failures & potentialities of African/a liberation. It is the colonial knot that the African/a world must untied. Just as Ayiti represented freedom in the past, it also represents the potentiality of collective freedom today. The question of Ayiti is intricately linked to the global African/a movement against oppression, as fortified by the colonial, in all of its forms. I assert, that it is with Haiti, then and now, along with Afro communities in Colombia, burgeoning movements across the continent of Africa; Afro Brazilian communities, Afro and African descendant communities in Europe; critical thinking African descendants here in the U.S., along with our historically and ethnically oppressed allies who stand in the long tradition of collective resistance to the dehumanizing nature of racial capitalism to create another future. Maurice Jackson in his article, “Friends of the Negro! Fly with me, the path is open to the sea”: remembering the Haitian Revolution in the History, Music, and Culture of the African American People, writes: “As early as 1797, Prince Hall, an African American who had fought in the war against Great Britain, applauded events in Haiti and reflected on their implications for the United States. In a speech to the Boston African Masonic Lodge he declared, ‘‘My brethren, let us not be cast down under these and many other abuses we at present labour under: for the darkest is before the break of day…Let us remember what a dark day it was with our African brethren, six years ago, in the French West Indies. Nothing but the snap of the whip was heard, from morning to evening (60).'' Sixty years later and a few years before the first battles of the Civil War, in 1857, the Reverend James Theodore Holly, the missionary, emigrationist, and first African American bishop in the Protestant Episcopal Church, preached that the Haitian Revolution ‘‘is one of the noblest, grandest, and most justifiable outbursts against tyrannical oppression that is recorded on the pages of the world's history (60).'' Taking note of Ayiti's interdependent impact on the sociopolitical conditions in the African/a world, specifically, Gabriel Prosser's revolutionary program, Douglas Egerton has written: “Saint Domingue served as an inspiration to Gabriel and completed his development…The distant figure of Toussaint…seemed to clarify the domestic situation and told him that if he dared, success might be within his reach.” At the trial of Rolla Bennett, one of Vesey closest friends and an enslaved African of Governor Thomas Bennett, another black identified as Witness No. 1 swore that Rolla had told him that white men ‘‘say that, Santo Domingo and Africa will assist us to get our liberty, if we will only make the motion first.” Indeed, the ideas and material reality of freedom represented through the series of resistance filtered through Ayiti is important to contextualize for many reasons, reasons I will let you determine. But a clear historical consciousness is a prerequisite for addressing the inequities that pass, unabated, through time and space. Where are we now? Today, Africa Now World Project's Mwiza Munthali recently caught up with our partners in Port-au-Prince, Ayiti to discuss what is happening on the ground. Today, we look at the People's Movement in Ayiti with Vélina Elysée Charlier, member of Nou Pap Domí movement in Port-au-Prince, Ayiti. Our show was produced today in solidarity with the native/indigenous, African, and Afro-descended communities at Standing Rock; Venezuela; Cooperation Jackson in Jackson, Mississippi; Brazil; the Avalon Village in Detroit; Colombia; Kenya; Palestine; South Africa; Ghana and Ayiti; and other places who are fighting for the protection of our land for the benefit of all people.

French trio Delgres are known for their bluesy rock and Creole lyrics which they have toured extensively around France and the US. They were inspired by the little-known historical figure Louis Delgres, who fought back against Napoleon's reinstitution of slavery in the French West Indies in 1802. Delgres frontman Pascal Danaë joins Marjorie Hache in the studio to discuss their second album 4:00 AM and how he draws on the personal, the historical and what's happening right now.

This is a convert story about Cedric Du Peloux De Praron. He describes the story like this: What happened is that my father separated with my mother when he became Muslim. My mother is not Muslim and I grew up with her. I went on holiday when I was 8 years old and spent some time with my father and that's when faith in Islam entered my heart. Then I went back to my mum until I was 14 years old. In my heart I felt I was Muslim even if I didn't know much about Islam. Then I went on to live with my father for a few years and decided to learn and practice Islam. I consider myself more like a revert as I chose to be Muslim at a certain point. I grew up pretty much as a non Muslim and also because Islam was not part of my culture back then. I'm definitely closer to a Westerner than to someone that grew up in Islam. But at the same time I'm not your typical revert. I've learned so much throughout this journey that I make sure to share my knowledge within the youth of my community when I get a chance. About Cedric: 38 years old Converted in 1996, that's 24 years ago From France, born in Paris, Mother is French native Caucasian Father was from a French West Indies island called 'Guadeloupe' Has lived in Melbourne Australia since 2012 Works in the IT field as an Application Operation Engineer Huge basketball fan Very into spiritual readings especially about tassawuf, tazkiya and hagiographies Enjoys different writings about the history and state of the Muslim world He also says: I'm passionate about giving dawah at any chance I can and also helping the less fortunates whether it is through donation or physical assistance but my main area of expertise are marriage and relationship and also helping Westerner new reverts to make sense of their Islam as it can sometime be challenging for people that were born Muslim and non Westerner to understand where a revert is coming from.

SUSTAINABLE BANANA SCIENCEAfter a short holidays break, we are resuming our Blue Beauty webinar and podcast series, hosted every Thursday at the same time and facilitated by Jeannie Jarnot, Founder of Beauty Heroes and leader of the Blue Beauty movement. Tune in and hear from the industry's leading brand founders, entrepreneurs and thought leaders about the future of beauty, and how they are building businesses that leave the planet better, and bluer, than they found it. From zero-waste packaging to regenerative practices, you'll discover why materials matter, how to make philanthropy the foundation of a profitable business model, and which innovative brands are leading the blue beauty revolution. In each episode, we'll share what it takes to be considered for our annual Blue Beauty Award, in partnership with Beauty Heroes. Our first guest next Thursday is @Shirley Billot, CEO or Kadalys. Originated in the French Caribbean Kadalys is a business of firsts. It is the first eco-conscious beauty brand to upcycle banana agri-waste into patented organic actives exclusively developed to rejuvenate the skin. Its progressive use of a circular economy model gives back to local community and to nature. - Integrating 100% of the banana producers we work with as shareholders in our capital- Educating women from the French West Indies to empower a new generation in the fields of science and business, areas that are under-represented and lacking in MartiniqueInvesting in young women offers an incalculable benefit to Martinique where the levels of unemployment are twice as high as in mainland France particularly in the under 30s. Science is a field that provides long term and diverse qualifications and coupled with a greater understanding of the world of business delivers multiple opportunities for the island's labour market. This social consideration is indicative of Kadalys all-encompassing commitment to sustainability and being a catalyst for good that goes far beyond the realms of many cosmetic businesses. Kadalys is for the now and the future.This webinar will be recorded and available on - demand in our past events section. www.BeautyInfluenceNetwork.com www.BeautyInfluenceNetwork.com

Un podcast inédit ! Pour clôturer notre série "Les Antilles et la Guyane Françaises: départementalisation, décolonisation" et notre première saison! Le décret du 21 avril 1944 accorde le droit de vote aux femmes. Le suffrage devient pleinement universel, y compris dans les colonies antillaises françaises. Les Martiniquaises et les Guadeloupéennes doivent ainsi voter pour la première fois dans un contexte particulier. En effet, le choix de leurs représentants aux prochaines élections législatives détermine de façon indirect l'avenir de leur île avec en angle de mire la question de l'assimilation juridique des colonies et le projet de départementalisation. L'historiographie s'est pendant longtemps peu intéressée à l'incidence du vote féminin sur le changement de statut des colonies et plus généralement de la place des femmes antillaises dans la vie politique. La recherche sur l'histoire des femmes et du genre dans le domaine politique et sur le féminisme connait un renouveau ces 10 dernières années. L'historienne Clara Palmiste se penche avec nous sur la place des femmes en politique aux Antilles dans la première moitié du XXè siècle. Mmes Gerty Archimède, Jane Lero, Paulette Nardal ne sont pas les seules à s'engager et à mettre leurs espoirs dans un processus d'assimilation qui pourrait améliorer leur sort.

This UV Funk radio show is dedicated to the long forgotten but recently rediscovered sound of the French West Indies that has been written down in Pop history by the name of Zouk. It was artists like the scene's stars Kassav' and Francky Vincent from Guadeloupe or little known Claude Robap from Martinique that formed a music that is heavily influenced by disco, calypso, funk, latin music, afro or highlife. It's a super positive music that made public and party life better not only on the islands but also via immigrants in France. Thanks to the Parisian label Heavenly Sweetness with their “Digital Zandoli”-compilations and some fresh reissues chances are high that you can listen to Zouk-tracks on open minded dancefloors today. Here's UV Funk host @philipp-demankowski delivering a mix with his favorite Zouk tunes. Enjoy!

When she was just a teenager, Stephanie St. Clair immigrated to the United States from the French West Indies without a penny to her name. By the 1920s, with $10,000 mysteriously in her hand, she opened up her own numbers racket and became one of the most successful racketeers in Harlem.

A true force of musical nature whose freewheeling whirlwind of passion, energy and soul-deep artistic vision transcends genre limitations and the trends of the moment, Christine Gordon has done and been it all. She’s studied opera, sung jazz at NYC’s Blue Note and R&B at the Apollo, launched her songwriting career co-writing with legendary producer Nile Rodgers and held court for over a decade on in the French West Indies as the “StBarthRockStar.” She’s headlined festivals all over the Caribbean and France/Europe, opening for greats like Akon, Shaggy and Kool and the Gang. The multi-talented singer-songwriter, dubbed “The Lioness” for the feral way she dominates the stage, has long defined her self-styled genre as “Classical Pop Rock Neo-Classic Soul Jazz.” Now back in L.A, she’s gearing up to conquer the dance floor with the drop of “Tidal Wave,” an infectious, crazy powerful track that’s primed to become a premier inspirational anthem of our time, helping lift our spirits above the endless din of division and negativity. Set for release on the first day of Summer, Volume One features ten tracks with powerful productions and remixes from Steve Smooth/DirtyWerk (Ariana Grande, Janet Jackson, DJ Kue) Stonebridge (RobynS), Grammy Award Winning Dave Aude (Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez) and Liam Keegan (Sia, Usher, Enrique Iglesias, Usher, Carly Rae Jepsen). as well as the Original version along with a stunning acoustic rework. TIDALWAVE bursts forth with the high octane force its name implies, its intense musical pulse underscoring metaphor-rich lyrics of hope, survival and thriving against the constant undertow. The singer wrote the original version of “Tidal Wave” with “SupaDupa” Patou and Alex “Cobra” Piper, both founding members of the legendary St. Maarten based Afro-Caribbean band Youth Waves.

Londa Schiebinger‘s new book Secret Cures of Slaves: People, Plants, and Medicine in the Eighteenth-Century Atlantic World (Stanford University Press, 2017) examines the contexts, programs, and ethics of medical experimentation in the British and French West Indies from the 1760s to the early 19th century. Physicians were enlisted into the plantation systems to ensure the greatest profitability of the enslaved workforces. European practices, however, were ill-equipped for the tropics, and so many looked towards the knowledge of enslaved populations for effective remedies. Schiebinger analyses the circuits and structures of this knowledge exchange within the sugar plantation complex and between these islands and Europe. She brilliantly illuminates how and why some practices were adopted and appropriated, why others were prohibited, and how the colonial crucible so often resulted in the loss of vibrant medical traditions and knowledge.   Learn more about your ad choices.

On October 5, 2017, Gregory Wilson delivered a Banner Lecture entitled “Toxic Dust: The History and Legacy of Virginia’s Kepone Disaster.” In July 1975, news broke about workers at Life Science Products Company in Hopewell poisoned while making the pesticide Kepone, the brand name of chlordecone. Further investigations showed Life Science had contracted with Allied Chemical, a larger firm with a plant in Hopewell, to make Kepone and that both companies dumped Kepone waste into the James River and its nearby tributaries. The events led to a number of significant events, including a fishing and harvesting ban that remained in various forms through the 1980s, new state and federal environmental regulations, and federal court cases that led to the creation of the Virginia Environmental Endowment in 1977. Forty years later, Kepone remains in the James River sediment but in much reduced levels. Still, traces of Kepone have been found in James River fish today. The complete toxic effects of Kepone are not fully known, but a major public health crisis appears to be unfolding in the French West Indies from continued chlordecone use on banana plants through the 1990s. Chlordecone’s toxic global legacy led the United Nations Environmental Program to call for an end to its use. The events surrounding Kepone left an important legacy that continues to affect people and the environment in Virginia and around the world. The Kepone story is a compelling reminder of the critical ongoing importance of government oversight in the protection of human health and the environment. Dr. Gregory Wilson is a professor of history at the University of Akron. He grew up in Newport News, Virginia, and remembers the Kepone tragedy from his youth.

Imagine paradise where your senses explode with a banquet of color, or scents and flavors exicte, or where you experience exotic tranquility.  That is Martinique.  We enjoyed some planteur punch as we sat on a lovely Martinique beach with Muriel Wiltord from La Martinique Tourism who explained more about the island, it's unique culture and history and why Martinique is unique from other Caribbean islands.  During our visit to the island we were treated to some wonderful accommodations including Hotel Bakoua--the very first tourist hotel on Martinique.  Hotel Bakoua is a former family home that was built in a colonial architectural style.  We also visited the luxurious  Cap-est Lagoon Resort and Spa on the east coast of Martinique.  The tropical oasis is tucked away on a garden on the edge of a lagoon that overlooks a coral reef in the Atlantic Ocean.  One of Martinique's more powerful attractions is the Anse Cafard Slave Memorial.  This memorial was completed in 1998 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the emanicipation of slaves in the French West Indies.  The memorial is comprised of 20 eight-foot tall looming statues bearing brooding expressions of loss and mourning.  The historic Habitation Clément tells the story of Martinique's creoles, its agricultural and industrial heritage.  Rhum Agricole was born at Habitation Clément and that it boasts the culture of an ancient Créole sugarcane plantation with rich French West Indian history.

Stevy is a beautiful human being and an amazing artist. Hailing from Guadeloupe in the French West Indies, having lived in Paris and traveling back and forth between the two places, she is a Creole woman and you can feel this bridging between the two cultures in her music. She sings in French, English, Creole, and her main subject is love. Love for her man or love in the broader and more spiritual sense of the word. Her music is very soothing and uplifting, her lyrics very inspiring and her voice perfectly smooth. You can check out her single "Beautiful" which is a perfect introduction to her universe.  Enjoy!   Marion Carminelitta London
