Mr. Aaron Parker Listen below to hear Aiken high school students discuss justice and their jobs in environmental justice from this part summer. When we consider what “Democracy and Me” can mean, we must consider the idea of justice. Over the next few weeks, the Agriculture Career Tech Pathway Students and Community Partners of Aiken New Tech High School in the Cincinnati Public Schools will be contributing their perspective and voice on how they are taking action on issues of social justice, environmental justice, heath justice, financial justice, and food justice (sovereignty). Aiken New Tech High School is a grades 7-12 college and career preparatory high school. The Agriculture Career Tech Pathway is a vocational series of classes focusing on Agribusiness and Production that includes: Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources; Animal and Plant Science; Greenhouse and Nursery Management; and Global Economics and Food Markets. Students take part in the 3-Circle Model of Agriculture that is: 1. classroom as an interactive laboratory,, 2. Supervised Agricultural Experiences / Work-Based Learning, 3. Participation in Future Farmers of America. Situated on 61 acres of land, our Agriculture Campus includes a production farm of 35-raised beds, mushroom growing lab, coffee roasterie, 2 high tunnels, a greenhouse, orchard, 4 alpacas, 6 goats, 1 Zebu steer, and a collection of rabbits, quail, ducks, chickens, and Guinea fowl. Completing the Agriculture Campus are an on-campus forest and prairie as well as the adjoining Cincinnati Parks Preserve of Greeno Woods that supports habitat for wildlife. It is within Aiken's agriculture program that students are provided opportunities to take action on issues of social, environmental, health, financial, and food justice. The food we grow is to provide food security for the students and community members needing local, fresh, and nutritious food. Students source seed, plant, care for, harvest, and distribute food that is culturally valued by our community, so it is valued. Eggs hatched by students of quail, chicken, duck, and Guinea fowl are a source of protein so frequently missing from growing and active adolescent diets. The expertise and resources of the Civic Garden Center of Greater Cincinnati, La Soupe, and the Society of St. Andrew - Ohio helps ensure food sovereignty for all. Financial security is achieved through students who perform and get paid for work-based learning during and after school as well as during the summer. Good paying Green jobs that are centered around sustainability and technical skill attainment provide resume building, employment skills, and income that is essential for both students and the families that money assists. Work-based learning occurs with the interest and support of Groundwork Ohio River Valley, Co-op Cincy, Cancer Justice Network, La Terza Artisan Coffee Roasterie, and Hamilton County Youth Employment. Health is improved through the mental wellness of having an outdoor classroom as well as access to the healthy food from our Aiken Farm and the Health Fairs and Vaccination Clinics organized by our FFA Chapter. Taking care of one's health requires eating well, practicing mindfulness, being active, and knowing how to navigate a complex and sometimes difficult health care system which our FFA students help educate as Health Navigators with Cancer Justice Network. Care for the air we breathe, water we drink, and land we occupy is monitored for sustainability through stewardship and engagement of community partners for environmental justice with Green Teams of Groundwork Ohio River Valley, Environmental Protection Agency and Green Umbrella as a Regional Climate Collaborative. Social justice is the diversity, equity, and inclusion we seek through an urban agriculture pathway that is in need of capitalizing on resources as well as being able to give back the community through service and value through the telling of our stories at Maketank Inc. and the dedication to inclusivity in our Cincinnati Public Schools. Through a series of blog posts and podcasts we aim to draw your attention to the selfless action of care that is embodied in justice that is layered throughout our Aiken New Tech High School Agriculture Career Tech Pathway. Students sharing their perspectives and voices will raise awareness and ignite a fire of action in you in which they are the spark.

Dr Ikhenemoh is a GP, mental health specialist and author. He joins Christina in this episode to talk about how he found his passion for psychological health, what it means to have a mission in life and how you can help yourself, or others when they are struggling with their mental health. KEY TAKEAWAYS Starting medical school in Nigeria, Dr Ikhenemoh then spent some time in Russia, he left Russia for Holland where he continued his medical studies. ¼ people have an episode of depression in their life. Asking the right questions, in the right way for the individual, is essential when talking with an individual with mental health issues. Dr Ikhenemoh believes the word depression is often misused. All humans feel down sometimes, this is normal, but it doesn't mean you are depressed. In order to diagnose clinical depression, there are two questions you can ask a patient, if they have feelings of hopelessness combined with a lack of interest in life and they have been feeling this way for two weeks. There are conditions that can mimic depression, such as thyroid gland dysfunction, it's important to be able to distinguish when something physical is affecting a patient's mood. One of the upsides of the pandemic is that it lead to people talking more about mental health. It has become less stigmatised and more recognisable. Depression doesn't define the individual, Dr Ikhenemoh doesn't believe anyone was born to be depressed, he believes you have to find yourself outside of depression. You have to be able to recognise your own symptoms of low mood and/or depression. You can then start to deal with them, preventing spiralling.

Residents in the Beekman Corridor Climate Advisory Group convened by Groundwork Ohio River Valley, Green Umbrella and the City of Cincinnati drew up plans for addressing local impacts of climate change.
“It's kind of a scary thought. We've got these PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), you hear them now referred to as forever chemicals because these chemicals–none of these existed on the planet prior to World War II–they're fairly recent invention and they have this unique chemical structure that makes them incredibly useful in a lot of different products, manufacturing operations, but also that same chemical structure makes them incredibly persistent and incredibly difficult to break down once they get out into the environment, into the natural world, into our soil, into our water. They simply, many of them, particularly the ones with eight or more carbons in their structure, don't break down under natural conditions. Or it may take thousands or millions of years for those chemicals to start breaking down. But not only that. Once they get into us, they get into people, they tend to accumulate in our blood and build up over time. They not only persist, they bioaccumulate. Unfortunately, as the science has slowly been revealed to the world about what these chemicals can do, we are seeing that they can have all kinds of toxic effects And unfortunately, we're finding that those things can happen at lower and lower dose levels.”“I can't speak highly enough of Mark Ruffalo and what he was able to accomplish with the film. He just did an amazing job. He reached out to me after reading the story that appeared in The New York Times Magazine back in 2016 about this situation down in West Virginia along the Ohio River and was really shocked when he read about it because it was really highlighting an environmental contamination problem that had potentially nationwide, if not worldwide implications but that he had never heard of, and you know he was active in the environmental arena and active in water issues and was surprised that he had not heard of this before and really wanted to find a way to help bring the story out to a wider audience so that we could hopefully start seeing some change in the way type of situations not only develop but how we deal with them. He was able to team up with the folks at Participant Media, who, if you go on their website, and see the types of films they've produced are just incredible filmmakers. Teamed up with Todd Haynes who is an incredible director, and just a terrific cast. Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins and others. Really they were very dedicated to making sure they did the story and brought it to film in the right way, to show what really happened, not only legally and scientifically, but also to real people. What kind of impact these situations have on real people in real communities. What these people went through for 20 years in this community waiting for this process to unfold. So I think they did a tremendous job in taking a very complicated story that involves a lot of science and a lot of law and conveying it in a way that really impresses upon people why this is a story that matters to all of us and why this is a story that really is one that hopefully is inspiring because, as we discussed, it shows that things can be changed. Things that look impossible can be overcome.”Rob Bilott is a partner in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky offices of the law firm, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, where he has practiced in the Environmental and Litigation Practice Groups for over 31 years.

“It's kind of a scary thought. We've got these PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), you hear them now referred to as forever chemicals because these chemicals–none of these existed on the planet prior to World War II–they're fairly recent invention and they have this unique chemical structure that makes them incredibly useful in a lot of different products, manufacturing operations, but also that same chemical structure makes them incredibly persistent and incredibly difficult to break down once they get out into the environment, into the natural world, into our soil, into our water. They simply, many of them, particularly the ones with eight or more carbons in their structure, don't break down under natural conditions. Or it may take thousands or millions of years for those chemicals to start breaking down. But not only that. Once they get into us, they get into people, they tend to accumulate in our blood and build up over time. They not only persist, they bioaccumulate. Unfortunately, as the science has slowly been revealed to the world about what these chemicals can do, we are seeing that they can have all kinds of toxic effects And unfortunately, we're finding that those things can happen at lower and lower dose levels.”“I can't speak highly enough of Mark Ruffalo and what he was able to accomplish with the film. He just did an amazing job. He reached out to me after reading the story that appeared in The New York Times Magazine back in 2016 about this situation down in West Virginia along the Ohio River and was really shocked when he read about it because it was really highlighting an environmental contamination problem that had potentially nationwide, if not worldwide implications but that he had never heard of, and you know he was active in the environmental arena and active in water issues and was surprised that he had not heard of this before and really wanted to find a way to help bring the story out to a wider audience so that we could hopefully start seeing some change in the way type of situations not only develop but how we deal with them. He was able to team up with the folks at Participant Media, who, if you go on their website, and see the types of films they've produced are just incredible filmmakers. Teamed up with Todd Haynes who is an incredible director, and just a terrific cast. Anne Hathaway, Tim Robbins and others. Really they were very dedicated to making sure they did the story and brought it to film in the right way, to show what really happened, not only legally and scientifically, but also to real people. What kind of impact these situations have on real people in real communities. What these people went through for 20 years in this community waiting for this process to unfold. So I think they did a tremendous job in taking a very complicated story that involves a lot of science and a lot of law and conveying it in a way that really impresses upon people why this is a story that matters to all of us and why this is a story that really is one that hopefully is inspiring because, as we discussed, it shows that things can be changed. Things that look impossible can be overcome.”Rob Bilott is a partner in the Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky offices of the law firm, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP, where he has practiced in the Environmental and Litigation Practice Groups for over 31 years.

In 2017, Rob received the Right Livelihood Award, known as the “Alternative Nobel Prize,” for his decades of work on behalf of those injured by PFAS chemical contamination.

Today the shoe is on the other foot! It is Christina being interviewed by Paul Green, a friend of hers who also runs networking community group 'The Business Community'. Paul asked Christina if she would be interviewed by him for his Spotlight Series, the questions he asks her are far more about her development and philosophies and makes a really intriguing listen which is why she wanted to share this interview on the podcast. Sign Up For Jessens' Webinar Here: https://bit.ly/jessenct KEY TAKEAWAYS When buying a business, it’s important to be impartial. A good way to do this if you are already involved in the business you are buying is to take the figures to a third party to look at. Christina first joined Green Umbrella as a freelancer but progressed fast and ended up have a large responsibility for decisions and it was at this point she decided she wanted to buy the business. Although because of Covid many businesses have remote workers at the moment this is something Green Umbrella have been doing from the start in a really thought-leading way. They have various ways to ensure that productivity and creativity flows despite employees working remotely. Christina does admit though that creativity and problem solving can happen quicker in an office-based environment in some scenarios. It can be lonely to be a business owner. Having a mentor or being part of a community is a life line. There are very few business owners out there that have all the answers. Christina freely shares resources and information to people. She educates freely. She says if then clients decide to use her company what they are paying for is experience, expertise and time. The number 13 is unlucky for some but not for Christina. The number 13 has and continues to appear in so many areas of Christina’s life. Making noise on social media isn’t enough. You need to have a strategy, an objective and a purpose for each channel. BEST MOMENTS 02:15 - “You get to see what it’s like when I’m under a bit of pressure”. 09:45 – “I didn’t like where I was I either needed to go balls deep or get out”. 20:26 – “You need somewhere to go to ask those questions”. 27:48 – “Why not let them get the answer from you, build the trust with you”. 35:49 – “I’m a control freak therefore I don’t believe in luck”.

Sign Up For Jessens' Webinar Here: https://bit.ly/jessenct KEY TAKEAWAYS In marketing, you learn about making small changes to optimise the result. There is an increasing understanding of the value of marketing as a vital ongoing part of business. Lots of people have never bought through their own website so they have no understanding of the end to end experience or about any points of fiction. Some changes are so small but so significant. You should reach out and talk to your customers, it’s the human interaction and the conversation that are really important. Trust is currently fragile and genuine communication is vital With content you have to be very clear about what you want to achieve with it. People don’t remember the first touch they only remember the last touch, the journey to contact with you may have begun some time ago. You have to understand who is your ideal client and where they are going to be hanging out on social media It’s important the social media platform used is the right one for the objective you are trying to achieve.

Pianist Gloria Cheng discusses how she and her students grew closer together while facing the unique challenges of virtual music education, how incorporating new recording exercises provided surprising gifts, and how she returned to her own daily artistic practice during the pandemic. We also share memories of the late composer Steven Stucky, and how Gloria channeled her grief at his passing into a creative tribute, her album entitled "Garlands for Steven Stucky," which includes my composition, "Snowprints." Grammy and Emmy Award-winning pianist GLORIA CHENG has long been devoted to a process of creative collaboration, having worked extensively with such internationally renowned composers as John Adams, Terry Riley, Thomas Adès, and the late Steven Stucky. Ms. Cheng has appeared as a concerto soloist with the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Zubin Mehta and Pierre Boulez, and on its acclaimed Green Umbrella series with Esa-Pekka Salonen and Oliver Knussen. She has been a recitalist at the Ojai Music Festival (where she first appeared in 1984 with Pierre Boulez), the Chicago Humanities Festival, William Kapell Festival, and Tanglewood Festival of Contemporary Music. Ms. Cheng inspired and premiered such notable compositions as Esa-Pekka Salonen's Dichotomie (of which she is the dedicatee), John Adams' Hallelujah Junction for two pianos (written for her and Grant Gershon), and Steven Stucky's Piano Sonata. Partnering with composers in duo-recitals, she premiered Thomas Adès's two-piano Concert Paraphrase on Powder Her Face and Terry Riley's Cheng Tiger Growl Roar. Ms. Cheng received a Grammy Award for her 2008 recording, Piano Music of Salonen, Stucky, and Lutosławski, and a second Grammy nomination for her 2013 disc, The Edge of Light: Messiaen/Saariaho. On screen, Ms. Cheng's film, MONTAGE: Great Film Composers and the Piano — documenting the recording of works composed for her by Bruce Broughton, Don Davis, Alexandre Desplat, Michael Giacchino, Randy Newman, and John Williams — aired on PBS SoCal and captured the 2018 Los Angeles Area Emmy Award for Independent Programming. Her most recent disc, Garlands for Steven Stucky, is a star-studded tribute to the late composer by 32 of his friends and former students. After obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Economics from Stanford University, Ms. Cheng studied in Paris on a Woolley Scholarship and earned graduate degrees in performance from UCLA and the University of Southern California, where her teachers included Aube Tzerko and John Perry. Ms. Cheng now is on the faculty at the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music where she has created courses and programs designed to unite performers, composers, and scholars. www.gloriachengpiano.com Questions or comments may be shared on Julia Adolphe's YouTube Channel

"Music gives the human spirit a place to expand…a place to grow." – Guido Lamell In this very special conversation, Dr. Bob has the pleasure of talking with professional violinist Guido Lamell. They discuss many topics including Guido's incredible musical career and how important music is for children. There is a very special treat at the end of the episode that you absolutely will not want to miss. Enjoy! Violinist GUIDO LAMELL joined the Los Angeles Philharmonic in 1979 under Carlo Maria Giulini, after having served for two years as associate concertmaster of the Louisville Orchestra and for one year as concertmaster of the Mexico City Philharmonic. Lamell has performed frequently on the Philharmonic's Chamber Music Society and Green Umbrella series, and has appeared widely as a recitalist and orchestral soloist. He particularly loves playing in small ensembles and has enjoyed playing chamber music in his home with some of the Philharmonic's guest soloists, including Gustavo Dudamel, Emanuel Ax, Lynn Harrell, Joshua Bell, Sir Simon Rattle, and others. In addition, Lamell has been very active as a conductor. Having conducted various local ensembles for many years, he traveled to Kiev in 2000 with celebrated American violin soloist Eugene Fodor to record six concertos with the National Symphony of Ukraine. These recordings received critical acclaim and ultimately proved to be Fodor's last recordings. In recent years, Lamell has been coaching orchestras and conductors throughout Los Angeles through the Philharmonic's Youth Orchestra Partnership Program. This continued on the Philharmonic's tour to Caracas, when he coached two of the El Sistema youth orchestras and gave a conducting masterclass (in Spanish) to a group of El Sistema conducting students. In 2011, he produced and conducted Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at Walt Disney Concert Hall as a benefit concert for Japan earthquake relief. This concert was honored with a reward of the American Prize. In 2012, Lamell was appointed Music Director of the Santa Monica Symphony and is active in his third season with them. He is excited about bringing Philharmonic-level ideals and enthusiasm to this orchestra in its 70th anniversary season. Visit smsymphony.org.

She has directed, composed for, and produced multi-media events that incorporate her works with dance, acrobatics and video.
