There are so many cool Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) performance artists out there! Since this performance art season only had ten episodes to talk to artists directly, this last episode wraps up the season and goes through a whole bunch of other contemporary artists that hosts Marina Johnson and Nabra Nelson are excited about.Kunafa and Shay is a podcast produced for HowlRound Theatre Commons by co-hosts Nabra Nelson and Marina Johnson. Kunafa and Shay discusses and analyzes contemporary and historical Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) and Southwest Asian and North African (SWANA) theatre from across the region. Kunafa and Shay highlights MENA/SWANA plays and theatremakers, spotlights community-engaged work in the region and diaspora, and analyzes the past, present, and future of MENA/SWANA theatre in the United States and beyond. Theatre artists and scholars Nabra Nelson and Marina Johnson bring their own perspectives, research, and special guests in order to start a dialogue and encourage further learning and discussion. The name, Kunafa and Shay, invites you into the discussion in the best way we know how: with complex and delicious sweets like kunafa, and perfectly warm tea (or, in Arabic, shay). Kunafa and Shay is a place to share experiences, discuss ideas, and sometimes engage with our differences. In each country in the region, you'll find kunafa made differently. In that way, we also lean into the diversity, complexity, and robust flavors of MENA/SWANA theatre.

This week on our motorcycle podcast we bring to you a whole batch of good bad ideas. First up we talk about our bright idea to rewire the entire garage, and turn our old gas pump into the first DC charger for Zero motorcycles. Then we hear from our guest, journalist and author, Carmen Gentile. He was reporting on the war in Irag and took a rocket propelled grenade to the face. Miraculously he survived. He and a friend, photographer Nish Nalbandian, went back to Iraq and bought a Ural with a sidecar to travel around war torn Mosul. Next up we continue with the good bad ideas by announcing a new project we're going to build. Jim has a DR350 with a dead engine, and we decided it's time to turn it into an electric death bike. With the help of Brandon, Terry and others, we've got all the components to make this happen. Then Jim and Liza announce that they have purchased some electric mini bikes for doing stupid stuff on. Good idea or bad idea? Time will tell. Ural has announced that they are going to be releasing an electric version of their side car rig, and we all agree this is actually a good idea. Lastly, we finish with listener emails. With Liza, Nak, Naked Jim, Bagel, Miss Emma, Michael, Bex, Maruka and Brandon.

Cual una hoguera llameante en su mas alto fulgor, es el sentimiento de la ira. Quien no ha pasado en algún momento de su vida por un estado de enojo al grado de llegar al mas profundo sentimiento de odio? quizá con ganas de matar a la persona que provoca tal sentimiento de ira y odio?. La pregunta es, reaccionar llevados por la ira del momento solucionara, o empeorara la situación? déjame abordar el tema desde la perspectiva de mi propia experiencia.

Kenny Pasten and I met at the Wisdom Tree hike in Hollywood. He was hammering in a light into the ground so it would shine on a gigantic American flag. His story was immediately interesting to me. He served and fought in Irag and because of that suffers from PTSD.  Upon returning to the states he found the Office of Veteran Affairs ill-equipped to help him has fast as he needed assistance - so he took it upon himself to search for a way to help fend off the nightmares and flashbacks. He obtained a Belgian Malinois and named him Rexitron (after Voltron from the 80s cartoon.) Unfortunately since this interview took place Rexitron has passed away making this story even that much more touching. This man's story is so moving because he is one of thousands who deal with PTSD everyday because of the wars in the Middle East and he is working toward his own recovery daily. He is currently circulating an online petition at change.org to get permits for his memorial flags, located at four distinct hikes in Los Angeles - Griffith Park Observatory, Hollywood Sign, Wisdom Tree and Runyun Canyon and you can support that petition by clicking here - #RexFlagChallenge petition  

Youhanni Barwari, was born into a Kurdish Muslim family in Baghdad, Irag. After migrating to the United States someone introduced Youhanni to the message of the good news of Jesus Christ. As he began to read the Old Testament of the Bible he realized that the Bible had much to say about his people, and the land of his birth. The cities mentioned in the Bible were places he was familiar with. He gave his life to Jesus and now shares the gospel with everyone he meets. Listen to Youhanni share why he gave his life to Jesus Christ on this episode of In Your Corner with Kerry Pharr.

Mike and the guys talk to Dr. John Edeen from Doctors for Responsible Gun Ownership DRGO.us about how doctors can get political and how that may affect the care they give you. The guys talk about that according to the FBI's 2015 Uniform Crime Report ( UCR ) twice as many people were beaten to death with hands and feet in 2015 than were killed with rifles and shotguns COMBINED. Federal agents have persuaded local police to scan license plates at gun shows in southern CA. Can you say, "big brother is watching"? LT. Bill calls in talking about an officer out of west Chicago that suffered a physical assault from a person high on PCP rather than use her firearm to defend herself because of fear of conviction in the court of public opinion. Speaking of Chicago, the city with the most and strictest gun laws in the country also has a higher probably of murder than Irag and Afghanistan COMBINED. Our follow up story, Jeff Bell from the International Union of Police Associations called for the boycott of FL agencies for escort services to the local NFL team. The local Sheriff's office listened and has announced they will not being providing escort service to the team members until they all start giving our National Anthem the respect that it reserves.

He played a lot of sports most of his life.  And after 9-11, he felt a calling to join the marines. His grandfather and father had served before. So in 2003 he joined the Marine Corps, and in 2006 Josh got called to activated duty. He was in the middle of a tour in Irag and was stationed in Afghanistan when Josh was injured from a roadside bomb attack.   He lost two of his good friends in an instant and both of his legs, but he was still thankful to be alive. After a long recovery, Josh has a family now and has a new job with the Indianapolis Colts as a motivational speaker.   Losing Both his legs  6:40 A lot of emotions came over Josh after realizing he just lost both his legs.  He experienced a great deal of anger, sadness, and shock.   His faith was tested and he experienced a lot of guilt over the loss of his friends.   Getting better 10:30 There were a lot of people around Josh that helped him get better. He mentioned the staff and his physical therapist who kept encouraging him.  But it was really the guys and girls who were hurt before him that showed him that life does go on. Realizing that the world was just not going stop just because he felt sorry for himself, Josh realized that he had to get up each day to get his life back.   Life after the Marine Corp  13:00 After the Marine Corps, Josh didn’t know what to do. He was not sure what his next career could be, but he believed in his faith that there is a plan for him. Then the Colts owner offered him a job as a spokesperson for them and now Josh goes to different schools and organizations talking as a motivational speaker.   After 7 years 21:00 Things have changed for Josh after his injury, and all for the good. Physically his walking is good, he has a great job with the Colts, a wonderful wife,  and kids.  Josh also enjoys travel and talking to other people. He doesn’t take a lot for granted anymore and notices the small things in life.  Josh also mentioned that his family is his greatest accomplishment and his work with the Indianapolis Colts keeps him going. What keeps Him going 29:40 Humor is a big part of Josh’s life. He enjoys a joke and hearing his kids laugh brings him happiness. Even the everyday humor of life or even his own occasional stupidity really brings joy into his life. Where to find inspiration 31:30 Meeting other people and hearing their stories keeps Josh inspired. He loves when people come up to him and tell him what they’ve been through.   His role model 33:05 Josh’s role models are his father and grandfather. His grandfather was a soldier in World War 2;  he got shot and survived. His grandfather was the kind of guy who loves talking to people and hearing their stories which is inspiring to Josh.   About the Josh Bleill Book:   One Step at a time: Josh Bleill tells people he had "one bad day". On October 15, 2006, while on a combat patrol in Fallujah Iraq, an IED (improvised explosive device) struck Josh's Humvee. The explosion tore through the vehicle killing two of his fellow marines and severely injuring Bleill and his best friend. Josh awoke five days later with the news of the loss of his two friends and both of his legs. One Step at a Time: A Young Marine's Story of Courage, Hope, and a New Life in the NFL follows his journey from his enlistment then on to active duty in Fallujah, through two years of rehab, and ultimately to his job as the community spokesman for the Indianapolis Colts. Readers will be inspired by his undying enthusiasm, infectious joy, and sense of humor. Everyone has had that "one bad day". Josh discovered that life begins when we embrace our bad days and keep going forward, one step at a time. Links:   Twitter: @Josh Bleill Facebook: Josh Bleill

The Total Tutor will interview Saul Silas Fathi. We will discuss the education system in Irag and his family life. He was born into a well-to-do Jewish family in Baghdad in 1938. Two former prime ministers lived on the same street and it was an “idyllic” place, he recalls. That ended for the country's Jewish population in the late 1940s when the creation of Israel set off a wave of anti-Jewish sentiment. As a young boy, Saul witnessed public executions and his family was falsely accused of treason against the Iraqi government. Like all wealthy Jews, his family was labeled Zionist and Communist. When he was 10, he and his younger brother were smuggled out of Baghdad through Iran and eventually landed in Israel. In 1958, Saul worked his way to Brazil, where he nearly starved. Two years later, he came to the U.S. and joined the Army for three years. In Israel, Saul had studied aeronautics and in the Army was assigned to the 15th Aviation Company, the famed helicopter division in the Vietnam War. Back in the U.S. he earned a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Virginia and went on to found three high-tech companies over a 20-year period. Saul retired in 2003 to write his memoir, Full Circle: Escape from Baghdad and the return (Xlibris 2006). A review by the president of Military Writers Society of America, stated that Saul's autobiography “takes the reader to places and events that one may only get to know about from small glimpses on The History Channel or in some old National Geographic Magazines. This guy has lived a life that would make a great movie.” Saul's second book, published in March, 2006 is History of the Jews and Israel – 4000 years of history condensed into 76 pages. He is fluent in English, Hebrew, Arabic and Portuguese.

Das gasförmige Stickstoffmonoxid (NO) steuert die Relaxation glatter Muskulatur. Dabei aktiviert NO die lösliche Guanylatzyklase im Zytosol der glatten Muskelzelle. Die lösliche Guanylatzyklase bildet den Botenstoff cGMP, der die cGMP-abhängige Proteinkinase (cGK) aktiviert. Die cGK gehört zur Familie der Serin/ Threonin-Proteinkinasen und führt nach Phosphorylierung von unterschiedlichen Signalproteinen zur Relaxation der glatten Muskulatur. Der Beitrag des NO/ cGMP/ cGK-Signalwegs zur glattmuskulären Relaxation kann mit Hilfe von genetisch veränderten Mauslinien, denen Komponenten dieses Signalwegs fehlen, untersucht werden. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden neben Wildtyp-Mäusen mit intaktem NO/ cGMP/ cGK-Signalweg die cGKI-/--Mäuse, denen das Protein cGKI deletiert ist, und die IRAG∆12/∆12-Mausmutanten, die nach Zerstörung des Exon 12 des IRAG-Gens zwei hypomorphe IRAG-Allele besitzen, verwendet. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit werden die cGMP-abhängigen Mechanismen der Relaxation nach Hormon- und Kalium-induzierter Stimulation glatter Muskelzellen untersucht. Die Experimente werden einerseits am intakten und permeabilisierten Gefäß und andererseits an kultivierten, vaskulären glatten Muskelzellen durchgeführt. Die Ergebnisse dieser Arbeit zeigen die Existenz unterschiedlicher Mechanismen zur cGMP-vermittelten Relaxation an der Mausaorta. Nach Hormon-induzierter Stimulation wird der Gefäßtonus durch den cGMP/ cGKI-Signalweg relaxiert. Dabei wird der Effekt hauptsächlich über IRAG durch Hemmung der Ca2+-Freisetzung aus den intrazellulären Speichern vermittelt. Die Kalium-vermittelte Kontraktion wird ebenso cGMP/ cGKI-abhängig relaxiert, jedoch unabhängig von IRAG. Überraschenderweise demonstrieren die Ergebnisse an der permeabilisierten Aorta, dass die cGMP/ cGKI-vermittelte Ca2+-Desensitisierung eine untergeordnete Rolle spielt und in Gegenwart hoher cGMP-Konzentrationen über die Protein Kinase A vermittelt wird. Die Kontraktionsexperimente mit Thapsigargin weisen darauf hin, dass vermutlich die SERCA an der Relaxation des Kalium-induzierten Tonus beteiligt ist.

Die cGMP-abhängige Proteinkinase (cGKI) vermittelt den relaxierenden Effekt der NO/cGMP Signalkaskade im glatten Muskel. Die Phosphorylierung des IP3-Rezeptor assoziierten cGMP-Kinase Substrats (IRAG) ist ein Prozess, der in diesem Mechanismus involviert ist. Um dieses Modell genauer zu verifizieren, wurde die cGMP-abhängige Relaxation in Mäusen, die ein modifiziertes IRAG expremieren, untersucht. Bei der IRAGD12/D12 Maus handelt es sich um eine Deletionsmutante, bei der die Interaktionsstelle von IRAG mit dem IP3-Rezeptor Typ I zerstört wurde, was dazu führt, dass IRAG nicht mit dem IP3-Rezeptor Typ I interagieren kann. Diese Mäuse zeigen eine normale Futteraufnahme, der Kotabsatz ist aber signifikant geringer als bei Wildtypmäusen. Eine Röntgenkontrastuntersuchung mit Hilfe von Bariumsulfat offenbarte eine deutliche Verlängerung der Darmpassagezeit, einen Megaoesophagus sowie ein Megacolon. In situ-Erhebungen an der eröffneten Bauchhöhle bestätigen diese Befunde. Gründe für diese Veränderungen könnten Funktionsstörungen in der glatten Muskulatur sein. Zur Stützung dieser Vermutung wurden die cGMP-abhängigen Effekte an der glatten Muskulatur des Darmtraktes untersucht. Die Untersuchung des Hormon induzierten Tonus im Jejunum ergab keinen signifikanten Unterschied in der cGMP-Wirkung zwischen den Wildtyp- und den IRAGD12/D12 Mäusen. Der CCh induzierte Tonus im Colon der Wildtypmäuse wird im Gegensatz zu den IRAGD12/D12 Mäusen durch 8 Br- cGMP um ca. 90% reduziert. Bei den IRAGD12/D12 Mäusen bewirkt 8 Br cGMP nur eine sehr geringe Relaxation (16%) des Hormon induzierten Tonus am Längsmuskel des Colons. Eine Vorinkubation mit dem Phosphatase-Hemmstoff Calyculin A in Präparaten von Wildtypmäusen hebt den relaxierenden Effekt von 8-Br-cGMP im glatten Muskel des Dünndarms auf, im glatten Muskel des Colons findet dagegen keine Aufhebung statt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass IRAG eine entscheidende Bedeutung für die cGMP/cGKI-vermittelte Relaxation im Colon, aber nicht im Jejunum hat. Eine cGMP/cGKI-vermittelte Aktivierung einer Phosphatase kann als möglicher Mechanismus der cGMP abhängigen Relaxation im Jejunum in Frage kommen. Eine mögliche Phosphatase könnte hierbei die Myosin leichte Ketten Phosphatase (MLCP) sein. Es ist aber nach wie vor unklar, ob diese Ergebnisse Grund für die geringe Lebenserwartung der IRAGD12/D12 Mäuse sind. Um die Ursachen dafür zweifelsfrei feststellen zu können, bedarf es weiterführender Untersuchungen.

Der Tonus der glatten Muskulatur wird einerseits direkt durch Aktivierung des kontraktilen Apparates und andererseits über Veränderungen der intrazellulären Calciumkonzentration gesteuert. NO freisetzende Pharmaka aktivieren die lösliche Guanylylzyklase und führen über den cGMP/cGMP-Kinase abhängigen Signalweg zur Erschlaffung der glatten Muskulatur. Wie die Kinase dieses Signal vermittelt ist noch weitgehend unklar, wobei schon einige Substrate der cGMP-Kinase I bekannt sind. In der Mikrosomenfraktion glatter Muskeln wurde ein stabiler Komplex der cGMP-Kinase I und ihrer Substrate IRAG und IP3-Rezeptor Typ I beschrieben, der für die Steuerung des Calciumausstroms aus Speichern des sarkoplasmatischen Retikulums verantwortlich ist. In der vorliegenden Arbeit sollte dieser mikrosomale Komplex genauer untersucht und die beteiligten Proteine gereinigt und charakterisiert werden. Dies geschah vor allem durch Co- Immunpräzipitationen mit spezifischen Antikörpern und Affinitätschromatographie mit cGMP-Agarose. Die Identifizierung der gereinigten Proteine erfolgte durch MALDI-TOF Analyse und Immunoblot, wobei Substrate der Kinase nach cGMP-abhängiger Phosphorylierung mit radioaktiv markiertem ATP detektiert wurden. Der Komplex wurde aus dem glatten Muskel der Trachea von Rindern aufgereinigt und seine Bestandteile isoliert. Dabei ergab sich die Assoziation von Phospholamban, einem Substrat der cGMP-Kinase, das den Calcium Rücktransport durch die Ca2+-ATPase in Speichervesikel des sarkoplasmatischen Retikulums moduliert. Die Interaktion von Phospholamban mit der cGMP-Kinase I β und dem IP3-Rezeptor Typ I konnte nach heterologer Expression der Komponenten in COS 7 Zellen bestätigt werden. Dazu wurde Phospholamban aus cDNA des Herzens der Maus kloniert und mit je einer der beiden Isoformen der cGMP-Kinase I α und β, dem IP3-Rezeptor Typ I und IRAG in COS 7 Zellen exprimiert. Weiterhin konnte die Assoziation des Komplexes an die zytoskelettalen Proteine α-Aktin und Calponin H1 gezeigt werden. Das Zytoskelett kann einerseits zur Stabilisierung des Komplexes im glatten Muskel beitragen. Andererseits kann der Komplex Membranproteine mitdem Zytoskelett verbinden und einen direkten Einfluss auf die Calcium unabhängige Kontraktion der Zelle haben. Als einzige Funktion von Phospholamban ist bisher die Regulation der Ca2+-ATPase beschrieben worden, daher wurde deren Assoziation an den funktionellen Komplex untersucht. Dazu wurde der Komplex an cGMP-Agarose gereinigt und nach Elution eine Co-Immunpräzipitation mit den spezifischen Antikörpern der Komplexbestandteile durchgeführt. Die differenzierte Auftrennung über zwei Säulen deckte die Existenz zweier Proteinkomplexe auf, die über das Zytoskelett miteinander verbunden sind. Einer besteht aus Phospholamban und der Ca2+-ATPase und steuert die Aufnahme von Calcium in intrazelluläre Speicher, der andere enthält einen geringeren Teil Phospholamban, die cGMP-Kinase I β und ihre Substrate IRAG und den IP3-Rezeptor Typ I. Dieser zweite Komplex reguliert wahrscheinlich den Calciumausstrom aus dem sarkoplasmatischen Retikulum.

Grassroots Marketing talks about Veterans Access to Cannabis with Gary Hess, founder and Executive Director of Veterans Alliance for Holistic Alternatives (VAHA).Gary Hess is a former marine and founder of VAHA (Veterans For Holistic Alternatives), an organization that seeks to educate and empower veteran's about the efficacy of medical cannabis. You use cannabis which he says allows him to explore his trauma and process it rather than anesthetize it—and he advocates for other veterans to have access to the plant. “I knew that I was not the only one,” he said referring to not only his trauma but the difficulty in treating it with traditional medications. “I knew that I was not going to bed the same. I was taking the pills and drinking every night before I went to bed. I literally had to lock every single door in my house, including closets and other bedrooms. It was obsessive. I was having issues. So I took the shiny brass off my shoulders, called my fellow Marines and said, ‘Hey, I'm struggling. I'm drinking. I can't figure it out. Who else is having these problems?' Then I started digging into the science.”Curaleaf began a partnership with VAHA. The company will donate a portion of sales to the organization during the month of November. From November 1 through 15, Curaleaf locations across the U.S. will donate $1 from every sale of select items to VAHA.VAHA also operates TeleLeaf, a premier access platform to medical marijuana that connects patients in need with qualified doctors.Gary Hess is the founder and Executive Director of the Veterans Alliance for Holistic Alternatives (VAHA), CEO of Teleleaf, and Partner of Dynamic Growth Solutions – organizations he founded to help destigmatize and provide access to medical cannabis.Gary served in the Marine Corps for 11 years, both enlisted and as an Infantry Officer. After serving during the heaviest levels of fighting in Irag, Gary experienced the challenges of living with PTSD, traumatic brain injury, chronic pain, and pharmaceutical dependency first-hand. He used cannabis not only to manage his conditions safely on his path to recovery, but also to catalyze and expedite Post-Traumatic Growth. He is now an advocate and activist for the use of medical cannabis in post-traumatic recovery – both for veterans and trauma survivors.Within VAHA, Gary works with patients, medical professional, and lawmakers, leading qualitative research and advocacy efforts to provide evidence-based education on the benefits of medical cannabis and reducing the obstacles that hinder access. He has teamed with Dr. Sue Sisley and the Scottsdale Research Institute in their efforts against the DEA to successfully remove barriers that have hindered and prohibited federal research initiatives for decades. Gary continues to spearhead policy reform initiatives and has successfully testified in Congress for the legalization of cannabis for medical use in Louisiana and North Carolina. Gary became the first patient and veteran in Louisiana to receive a recommendation for medical marijuana.Gary is also the CEO and Founder of Teleleaf, a telemedicine platform that provides affordable and convenient access to cannabis . Through his platform, Gary has connected thousands of patients with licensed physicians in 22 different states. He is also a Partner in Dynamic Growth Solutions, which provides construction and turn-key solutions for indoor cannabis cultivation via energy-efficient, high-yield growth containers. DGS was created to protect the license-holder during the most vulnerable time of growth to ensure patients in need have access to quality products in a timely manner.In his professional career after service, Gary found early success investing in real estate, which eventually led to his award-winning Antique Lumber & Millwork Co., Southern Arch. Gary has also served as the Chief Operating Officer for an oil and gas firm as well as a nationally recognized federal contracting firm, where his leadership proved instrumental and led to explosive growth for both.Gary holds a Bachelor of Science in Community Sociology from Wartburg College, where he competed in 4 yrs of NCAA baseball. He is pursuing a PhD in Cognitive Behavior and Brain Sciences, studying the neurological and physiological effects of trauma and the effectiveness of cannabis and other holistic alternatives in facilitating recovery.
