The argument is not that every beat causes trance, or that neuroscience has proven spirits. The stronger argument is that rhythm enters the human organism through hearing, motor prediction, breath, movement, attention, emotion, expectation, culture, and social synchrony. The drum becomes powerful when sound, body, group, ritual frame, and meaning converge. These sources support the archaeology, neuroscience, EEG research, shamanic studies, possession studies, Indigenous and culturally specific drum traditions, ritual theory, placebo and meaning-response research, ceremonial magic, and modern witchcraft material used in the episode.Core Academic and Scientific SourcesHuels, Emma R., Hyoungkyu Kim, UnCheol Lee, Tirsa Bel-Bahar, Ana V. Colmenero, Alexandra Nelson, Stefanie Blain-Moraes, George A. Mashour, and Richard E. Harris. “Neural Correlates of the Shamanic State of Consciousness.” Frontiers in Human Neuroscience 15 (2021): 610466. Use for the strongest modern EEG anchor. This study used high-density EEG with shamanic practitioners and controls during rest, shamanic drumming, and classical music listening. It assessed altered-state reports alongside brain measures such as power, connectivity, signal diversity, and criticality. Use carefully: the study does not prove spirits or show that drumming mechanically causes trance in everyone. It supports the more careful claim that trained practitioners entering shamanic states with drumming show measurable brain-state differences.Gordon, Yoel, Golan Karvat, Noa Dagan, and Ayelet N. Landau. “Neural Tracking at Theta Predicts Drumming-Induced Altered States of Consciousness.” Scientific Reports 16, no. 1 (2026): Article 10204. Use for the strongest updated drumming/theta/neural-tracking source. This study tested drumming at theta, delta, and alpha-rate rhythms while recording EEG, and found that stronger rhythmic neural tracking at theta was linked to stronger altered-experience reports. Use carefully: this does not mean theta equals the spirit world or that one frequency opens a portal. The serious point is that altered experience may depend partly on how strongly the nervous system tracks rhythmic stimulation.Aparicio-Terrés, R., et al. “The Neurobiology of Altered States of Consciousness Induced by Drumming and Other Rhythmic Sound Patterns.” Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2025. Use for the newer review literature showing that rhythmic sound is now a serious altered-consciousness research topic. This supports the opening claim that modern academia is examining drumming, rhythmic sound, absorption, relaxation, cognition, and neural activity without reducing the subject to one simple “trance frequency.” The review is especially useful for framing the field as promising but still complex.Neher, Andrew. “Auditory Driving Observed with Scalp Electrodes in Normal Subjects.” Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology 13 (1961): 449–451. Use for the historical bridge between repetitive sound, EEG, auditory driving, and early scientific interest in rhythmic stimulation.Neher, Andrew. “A Physiological Explanation of Unusual Behavior in Ceremonies Involving Drums.” Human Biology 34, no. 2 (1962): 151–160. Use carefully. This is useful as an early attempt to connect ceremonial drumming and physiology, but it should be balanced with Rouget because the “drum simply causes trance” argument is too mechanical.Maurer, R., V. K. Kumar, L. Woodside, and R. J. Pekala. “Phenomenological Experience in Response to Monotonous Drumming and Hypnotizability.” American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis 40, no. 2 (1997): 130–145. Use for monotonous drumming, subjective altered experience, imagery, absorption, and hypnotizability.Maxfield, Melinda C. “Effects of Rhythmic Drumming on EEG and Subjective Experience.” PhD diss., Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, 1990. Use as older supporting context on drumming, EEG, imagery, body-image changes, and subjective altered experience. Do not make this the main scientific proof; use it as background.Nozaradan, Sylvie, Isabelle Peretz, and André Mouraux. “Tagging the Neuronal Entrainment to Beat and Meter.” The Journal of Neuroscience 31, no. 28 (2011): 10234–10240. Use for EEG evidence that the brain can track beat and meter. This supports the claim that the brain does not merely hear rhythm as background sound; it can represent rhythmic structure in measurable ways.Nozaradan, Sylvie. “Exploring How Musical Rhythm Entrains Brain Activity with Electroencephalogram Frequency-Tagging.” Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B 369, no. 1658 (2014). Use as broader rhythm/EEG entrainment support. This helps explain frequency-tagging, beat tracking, meter, neural entrainment, and the measurable relationship between rhythmic structure and brain activity.Thaut, Michael H., Gerald C. McIntosh, and Volker Hoemberg. “Neurobiological Foundations of Neurologic Music Therapy: Rhythmic Entrainment and the Motor System.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2015). Use for rhythm as motor-system timing information. This supports the claim that a beat can become bodily instruction, not just sound for the ear. Especially useful when discussing rhythmic auditory stimulation, motor planning, gait, entrainment, and the auditory-motor bridge.Ross, Jessica M., John R. Iversen, and Ramesh Balasubramaniam. “Time Perception for Musical Rhythms: Sensorimotor Perspectives on Entrainment, Simulation, and Prediction.” 2022. Use for rhythm, timing, prediction, sensorimotor entrainment, and the way musical rhythm interacts with time perception.Hove, Michael J., and Jane L. Risen. “It's All in the Timing: Interpersonal Synchrony Increases Affiliation.” Social Cognition 27, no. 6 (2009): 949–960. Use for synchrony and social bonding. This helps support the group-body argument: moving or acting in time with others can increase affiliation.Wiltermuth, Scott S., and Chip Heath. “Synchrony and Cooperation.” Psychological Science 20, no. 1 (2009): 1–5. Use for the claim that synchronized movement can increase cooperation and attachment among participants.Tarr, Bronwyn, Jacques Launay, and Robin I. M. Dunbar. “Music and Social Bonding: ‘Self-Other' Merging and Neurohormonal Mechanisms.” Frontiers in Psychology 5 (2014): 1096. Use for music, synchrony, bonding, endorphin/social mechanisms, and why group rhythm can feel like more than private listening.Fancourt, Daisy, Rosie Perkins, Sara Ascenso, Louise Atkins, Fatima Kilfeather, and Aaron Williamon. “Effects of Group Drumming Interventions on Anxiety, Depression, Social Resilience and Inflammatory Immune Response among Mental Health Service Users.” PLOS ONE 11, no. 3 (2016): e0151136. Use for modern group-drumming research showing psychological and physiological effects, including anxiety, depression, social resilience, wellbeing, and inflammatory immune response. Use carefully: this does not make group drumming a cure-all. It supports the more grounded claim that embodied rhythm and group participation can affect mood, social connection, and body chemistry.Bittman, Barry B., et al. “Composite Effects of Group Drumming Music Therapy on Modulation of Neuroendocrine-Immune Parameters in Normal Subjects.” Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine 7, no. 1 (2001): 38–47. Use as older supporting material on group drumming and neuroendocrine-immune measures. Keep secondary. Fancourt is cleaner for the main script body.Archaeology and Deep History of DrumsLawergren, Bo. “Neolithic Drums in China.” In Music Archaeology in China. 2006. Use for clay drums in Neolithic China and the deep-history claim that drums are not just poetic symbols of antiquity. They appear in the archaeological record as instruments tied to early sound-making, ceremony, and social order.Both, Arnd Adje. “Music Archaeology: Some Methodological and Theoretical Considerations.” Use as general support for why ancient instruments should be treated as ritual and social evidence, not merely decorative objects.Anthropology, Ethnomusicology, Ritual, and TranceRouget, Gilbert. Music and Trance: A Theory of the Relations Between Music and Possession. Translated by Brunhilde Biebuyck. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985. Essential source. Use for the caution that music does not mechanically or universally cause trance. Rouget helps keep the argument academically serious by emphasizing culture, ritual frame, meaning, and expectation.Becker, Judith.

This week on Radio Night Live, Kevin McCullough and his co-host Cristyne Nicholas are gearing up for the ultimate celebration of America's birthday. With Memorial Day just around the corner, they're diving into the rich history of the American Revolution and the pivotal role New York City played in it. Joining them are two fascinating guests, Dr. Sarah Henry, the curator of the Museum of the City of New York's exhibit "Occupied City," and Dave Winters, the executive vice president of the Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum. Dr. Sarah Henry, Museum of the City of New York Dr. Sarah M. Henry has been a part of the Museum of the City of New York since 2001. Previously, Sarah served as the Robert A. and Elizabeth Rohn Jeffe Chief Curator and Deputy Director at the Museum of the City of New York, overseeing Museum exhibitions (over 200 to date) as well as publications and collections. She is responsible for the exhibition department's program strategy, long-range planning, and content, and she has led the curatorial work on such acclaimed exhibitions as This Is New York: 100 Years of the City in Art and Pop Culture (2023) and New York at Its Core (2016) and now, The Occupied City: New York and the American Revolution (2026). Sarah received a Ph.D. in U.S. History from Columbia University and a B.A. from Yale in History and Mathematics/Philosophy. She received the Manhattan Borough President's “History Visionary Award,” is a member of the New York Academy of History and serves on the board of the International Council of Museums' Committee on the Collections and Activities of Museums of Cities. David Winters, Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum David A. Winters serves as President of the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund, a leading national organization supporting the military community. Since 2000 the Fund has raised over $200 million for families of military personnel lost in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for several special projects serving wounded military personnel. Winters oversees the Fund's strategic planning, fundraising and program execution. Winters has been with the Fund since its establishment in 2000 and became President in 2011. In 2011 the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund launched its current program: building a series of ten advanced treatment centers for military personnel suffering the effects of traumatic brain injury. To date $100 million has been raised for this effort, and eight of the ten centers have already been built and are open and operating, with another currently under construction. Winters also serves as Executive Vice President of the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City. Winters' responsibilities aboard Intrepid include management of events, special projects, government and military relations, and administration of the annual festival programs including Fleet Week, Kids Week and Free Fridays. Mr. Winters also serves as corporate secretary of the Museum. He joined the Intrepid Museum as a volunteer in 1992 and as an employee in 1993. Winters also serves as the Executive Vice President and Secretary of the Intrepid Relief Fund, which provides support to military personnel and families. Winters' responsibilities include administration of the Fund and directing fundraising efforts. Winters has worked with this effort since 1994. Winters served on the 1812 Advisory Group from 2010 through 2012, assisting with the Department of the Navy's planning for the War of 1812 Bicentennial celebrations. Winters' involvement in supporting America's military community began in March 1991, when he helped establish a volunteer charitable effort called Operation Support, which in just three months raised over a quarter million dollars to benefit the families of American military personnel lost in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Winters holds a BA degree from Fordham University.

Is the "Iron Triangle" of higher education—cost, quality, and access—officially under siege? In this episode of An Educated Guest, Todd Zipper sits down with Nick Dirks, President of the New York Academy of Sciences and former Chancellor of UC Berkeley, to discuss the existential challenges facing modern universities and the scientific community.The conversation explores the "Experience Paradox" within the ivory tower. Nick reflects on his transition from a researcher in rural India to managing a $650 million faculty budget at Columbia, noting the systemic failure of the "mini-PhD" model that often prioritizes institutional prestige over student outcomes. They dive into why 50% of graduates are currently underemployed and how diversifying pathways—including the "California model" of community college transfers—could be the key to restoring the American degree's ROI.They also tackle the massive disruption of AI in Science. While AI is accelerating breakthroughs in drug discovery and data processing, Nick warns of a looming crisis in peer review and scientific integrity. From the creation of the International Science Reserve to the political pressures of leading a public flagship university, this episode offers a rare, high-level view of the forces reshaping how we learn and how we discover.

Sleep issues are a BIG deal—just ask someone who's been up all night involuntarily. More than half of all Americans have difficulty falling or staying asleep. Good sleep is critical for "Keeping the 'Live' in 'Alive'!   I had a 'Random Run In' with Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, a nutrition scientist and a pioneer in the field of sleep health. I was on an Amtrak to Boston, and I happened to choose the seat next to her. She was working diligently on her computer. I kept sneaking peaks at the bright fun patterned shirt she was wearing that I finally figured out reminded me of my old Peter Max stationery I loved so much as a kid. She was focused so I was quiet. At some point during the 3 ½ hour trip I asked what she was working on. (Couldn't help it - I'm a curious stranger talker) That's how I found out I was sitting next to a very big brain wrapped in a very small feminine body. Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge PhD is THE 'go-to' expert on the connection between food and sleep.   Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, is a nutrition scientist and a pioneer in the field of sleep health.  She is the author of Eat Better, Sleep Better: 75 Recipes and A 28-Day Meal Plan That Unlock the Food-Sleep Connection (A Cookbook). She wrote it in a fun recipe collaboration with Kat Craddock Editor-in Chief, CEO and owner of SAVEUR the legacy food magazine. Developed with ingredients that trigger the body's dietary melatonin and serotonin, these recipes align with a Mediterranean diet and trigger a healthy circadian cycle, so you feel energetic during the day and ready for sleep at night. Dr. Marie-Pierre is also the founding director of the Center of Excellence for Sleep and Circadian Research at Columbia University, and her cutting-edge research combines her unique expertise on sleep, nutrition, and weight management to address overall health related to sleep.    The Big Takeaway for Me From Our Amtrak Conversation Was Learning That Sleep and Food Are Powerfully Connected! The way you eat affects how you sleep The way you sleep affects how you eat It's a loop… and if it's broken? You feel it.   Dr. Marie-Pierre made it simple: Better Diet = Better Sleep = Better Life And not in a "perfect eating" way… in a real-life, doable, smart swaps kind of way.   So What Should We Actually Be Eating To Sleep Better? No gimmicks here. Just smart, science-backed choices: Fiber-rich foods (hello whole grains) Healthy proteins (fish, salmon, nuts, seeds) Foods with tryptophan (the Thanksgiving turkey effect is real-ish ) Balanced meals—not heavy, late-night overloads And here's something people don't always realize Dr Marie mentioned: Alcohol may help you fall asleep… but it messes with your sleep later. And Wait… "Sweets for Sleep"? I'm Listening… Now THIS caught my attention. There are actually desserts designed to SUPPORT sleep—like: Sesame shortbread cookies Chamomile ginger panna cotta They're: Lower in sugar Thoughtfully balanced Built with ingredients that help your body relax So yes… you can have your dessert and your sleep. Just smarter.   Timing Matters More Than You Think One thing I loved learning from Dr. Marie? This isn't about a "magic bedtime snack." It's about your entire day of eating. Because your body needs time to: Digest Absorb Convert nutrients (like tryptophan into sleep-supporting compounds) This is a lifestyle—not a quick fix. But it matters.   And About Those Sleep Trackers… I had to ask. Her answer? Refreshingly sane:  Use them  Learn from them  BUT… don't let them run your life Because how you feel still matters.   My Debservation? We spend so much time chasing energy… …but we ignore the foundation of it—sleep. And if food is part of the solution? That's empowering. Because it means we have more control than we think.   Now back to Dr. Marie-Pierre I have no clue when this sleep expert has time to sleep. Lol She's a very busy woman!   Born and educated in Québec, Canada, Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge lives with her family in New Jersey. When I met her on Amtrak, she was working on a presentation that she was supposed to have made in person in Chicago that day. However, airplane delays landed her instead on the Amtrak to Boston where she would do the presentation virtually and still be in the right place for another yet another presentation in Boston.  Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD is the recipient of an Outstanding Investigator Award from the NHLBI (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute) at the NIH, and she is a Fulbright Scholar as well as a Fellow of the New York Academy of Medicine.  She has authored close to 170 peer-reviewed publications and received scientific achievement awards from the American Heart Association and American Society for Clinical Nutrition.   Amazing right?   But Even Sleep Experts Get Tired. I noticed after typing for hours in the seat next to me that Dr. Marie-Pierre had started to doze off.   When she woke up I offered her a sample Alert Pop™.   What are the chances?   I was on Amtrak that day heading to Boston to meet a major distributor for a new product called Alert Pop™! I'm a Founding Partner of the company behind this new 'better for you' sugar free caffeinated functional energy lollipop that was invented by my partner Stephen Caldwell to help prevent drowsy driving.    Did you know 1 in 25 drivers admit to falling asleep at the wheel? I figured Dr. Marie could appreciate the purpose of the product and told her I'd love her opinion.  She liked it! Perked her right up. I thought maybe we could somehow collaborate.   Anyway, we exchanged contacts and honestly, I felt she was way too impressive a 'random run in' to keep to myself.  So, I'm sharing her and her knowledge with you all today on my Wellness Wednesday Show.   Listen to the Full Interview If you missed it, here's my conversation with Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge PhD on The Debbie Nigro Show. It's packed with insights that could genuinely change how you feel every single day.   And it starts with a simple and powerful premise... What you eat today will determine how you sleep tonight.   And 'Good Sleep' is key to "Keeping the Live in Alive! "    Best! Debbie

The obsession with thinness didn't just appear out of nowhere-and it's not just about beauty, body image, or "health."In this episode, I'm unpacking the deeper history of diet culture, female body standards, and the social conditioning that taught women to shrink themselves-physically, emotionally, and culturally. From historical ideals of discipline and restraint to the racial roots of the modern thin ideal, we're digging into how thinness became tied to morality, self-control, and worth.This is a conversation about appetite, power, control, and the quiet rules women have been taught to follow without ever questioning them.So the real question is... when did thinness stop being about beauty-and start being about obedience?Are.

She is an active member of the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union and the New Jersey Climate Adaptation Alliance.  Episode Overview: Introduction to Parametric Insurance Parametric insurance is a type of index-based insurance where payouts are determined by the intensity of an event rather than the actual incurred loss. This pre-agreed value policy uses specific event metrics to trigger claims. Background and Evolution The concept of parametric insurance has roots in weather derivatives from the late 1990s. Initially focused on natural catastrophe risks like hurricanes, tornadoes, and hail, it has evolved significantly. Swiss Re, with its deep involvement in this space for over 15 years, has seen a shift towards insurance contracts rather than purely derivatives. Parametric Insurance for Governments and Corporations Parametric insurance has resonated with government buyers due to their role as first responders and insurers of last resort after natural disasters. It provides a mechanism to cover immediate costs like infrastructure repair and emergency responder salaries, which traditional policies often don't address. In the late 2010s, after significant hurricane activity, there was a surge in interest from the corporate sector, particularly in hospitality and heavy industry, highlighting the value of parametric solutions for business continuity. How Parametric Insurance Works as an Insurance Policy While distinct from traditional insurance, parametric policies function as insurance contracts. They require a proof of loss and include a broad definition of "ultimate net loss" to encompass direct or indirect, physical or financial losses traceable to the event. Clients attest that their incurred losses exceed the parametric payout, ensuring there's no windfall. The triggers are set to cover catastrophic and disruptive events, aligning with the core purpose of natural catastrophe insurance. Addressing Skepticism Initial skepticism often labels parametric insurance as gambling. However, modern parametric policies, developed with dedicated underwriters and product designers, work closely with clients to understand their historical losses and pain points. This ensures that triggers are set at intensities that allow clients to recover funds for actual losses, including business interruption and pre-event expenditures made for resilience. Expanding Perils and Future Growth While hurricanes and earthquakes are the most recognized perils for parametric insurance, the market is expanding: Severe Convective Storms: Parametric coverage is now available for hail and tornadoes, supported by data providers offering hail footprints and tornado track information. Flood: Addressing flood risk parametrically has been a challenge due to its various causes (nor'easters, hurricanes, rainfall, river flooding). However, advancements in satellite technology and data analytics are enabling parametric flood solutions. Emerging Areas: Concepts are being explored for other event types, potentially leveraging data on flight traffic, restaurant foot traffic, and hotel bookings to assess disruption. Key Requirements for Parametric Insurability For an event to be insurable on a parametric basis, it must meet three key criteria: Randomness: The event must be a random, external shock. Independent Data Provider: A reliable, independent entity must provide consistent data on event intensity or monitoring. Modelability: The probability of a given event intensity must be determinable, either through stochastic catastrophe models or long historical time series. Future Outlook and Holistic Risk Management Parametric insurance is seen as a vital tool for managing increasingly complex and interconnected global risks. It can complement traditional insurance to provide solutions for supply chain disruptions and contingent business interruption. The industry is encouraged to embrace innovation and develop new solutions to address evolving exposures. Parametric insurance is not an "either/or" solution but a valuable component of a holistic risk management strategy, enhancing client resilience when paired with traditional coverage.

The New York Academy of Art has again come under scrutiny over its historical ties to Jeffrey Epstein after newly released federal documents revived questions about how closely the disgraced financier was connected to the institution and its leadership. Epstein served on the academy's board in the late 1980s and early 1990s and later maintained a relationship with the school as a donor and patron, contributing money to scholarships and events while purchasing artwork from students. Records indicate that academy leaders continued interacting with Epstein for years after his 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, a relationship that critics say reflects the broader willingness of elite institutions to overlook his criminal history because of his wealth and influence.The renewed attention has prompted the academy to distance itself from Epstein's legacy. The school announced it would redistribute funds linked to him to organizations that support survivors of sex trafficking and review its policies on donor relationships and ethics oversight. Leadership changes also followed the controversy, with board chair Eileen Guggenheim stepping down earlier than planned as the institution attempts to address criticism over how it handled Epstein's involvement and the allegations raised by former students about his access to the school's artistic community.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New York Academy of Art Gives Away Money Donated by Jeffrey Epstein - The New York Times

The school announced it would redistribute funds linked to him to organizations that support survivors of sex trafficking and review its policies on donor relationships and ethics oversight. Leadership changes also followed the controversy, with board chair Eileen Guggenheim stepping down earlier than planned as the institution attempts to address criticism over how it handled Epstein's involvement and the allegations raised by former students about his access to the school's artistic community.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:New York Academy of Art Gives Away Money Donated by Jeffrey Epstein - The New York TimesBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Wie kann uns „Achtsames Selbstmitgefühl“ unterstützen, in herausfordernden Beziehungen auf gesunde Art und Weise mit schwierigen Gefühlen (wie Wut) umzugehen? Wie kann ich in helfenden Berufen oder wenn ich mich zuhause um jemanden kümmere, liebevoll und verbunden bleiben, ohne dabei auszubrennen? Sinja und Cäcilia sprechen über die Möglichkeiten für einen mitfühlenden Umgang in herausfordernden zwischenmenschlichen Momenten. Es geht dabei auch um die sogenannte „Fürsorgemüdigkeit“, den Unterschied zwischen Empahtie und Mitgefühl und wie uns Gleichmut helfen kann.Umfrage: Wie gefällt dir Verstehen, fühlen, glücklich sein?

The article reports that Eileen Guggenheim, a former aide to then-Prince Charles and now president of the New York Academy of Art, has been accused i of introducing a studen, Maria  Farmer, to Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender. The claim centers on an allegation that Guggenheim played a role in connecting a young woman to Epstein before the woman was allegedly abused, drawing renewed scrutiny because of Guggenheim's past association with British royalty. Critics and commentators have circulated versions of the story online that suggest her involvement in the Epstein scandal.In response to the controversy, Guggenheim has strongly denied the allegation, stating she never introduced any student — or anyone else — to Epstein and had no involvement in such matters. She rejected the claims as unfounded and emphasized that there is no evidence linking her to facilitating introductions to Epstein. The article highlights how the resurfaced accusations have generated attention, partly because of Guggenheim's past role in Prince Charles' circle and persistent public interest in Epstein's network of associates.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

This week on Elevate Eldercare is an encore episode with former U.S. Surgeon General and current AgingIN Board Member, Joycelyn Elders, MD. In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, we thought this very special discussion, in which AgingIN's Susan Ryan and the late Alex Spanko (who served as director of communications from 2021 to 2024) engage Dr. Elders in a discussion about her trailblazing life and career. An added motivation for the replay of this episode is that the New York Academy of Medicine recently presented Dr. Elders with the Alma Dea Morani Renaissance Woman Award. With humor and refreshing honesty, Dr. Elders shares her perspectives on racism, sexism, and all the other "isms" that continue to shape the way health care is provided in the United States. As an elder herself, she also provides insights into what she might want out of the U.S. eldercare landscape and how supports and services might fit into her still-busy life as a widely sought-after and admired public health expert. Dr. Elders is renowned for breaking barriers and sparking essential conversations throughout her remarkable career. Appointed in 1993 as the 15th Surgeon General of the United States, the first African American and only the second woman to hold that office, Dr. Elders brought unprecedented visibility to issues ranging from adolescent health and reproductive rights to substance use prevention and health education. TIME magazine named her "1994 Woman of the Year" and "One of the 100 Most Influential Women of the 20th Century."

Diana Mao joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they explore how economic empowerment serves as a frontline defense against human trafficking, revealing why desperation—not just deception—drives vulnerable families into exploitation. https://youtu.be/NLM4TP2d_lQ   Diana Mao Diana Mao is a dynamic leader at the forefront of the fight against human trafficking and workforce development. As the President and Co-Founder of Nomi Network, she's helped raise and mobilize over 30 million dollars to create economic opportunities for survivors and women at risk. Her work has brought together corporate leaders, government agencies, and social impact partners to build pathways to freedom and stability. She's a Presidential Leadership Scholar and a New York Academy of Medicine Fellow, and her innovative approach has earned her awards like the NYU Alumni Changemaker Award and the Texas Women's Foundation Young Leader Award. She's advised Congress on key policy issues, and her voice is regularly heard on some of the world's biggest stages, including the United Nations, the Bush Presidential Center, and the Clinton Presidential Center. With degrees in Business Economics and Chinese from UC Santa Barbara and a Master's in Public Administration from NYU Wagner, Diana blends academic rigor with hands-on leadership. Key Points Economic vulnerability drives trafficking more than deception alone—when families face starvation and earn less than 75 cents a day, they may knowingly take dangerous jobs because desperation outweighs risk assessment. Nomi Network operates 42 training sites across India, Cambodia, and the United States, providing trauma-informed workforce training, job placement, and micro-enterprise support that creates sustainable alternatives to exploitative labor. Building capacity within existing community organizations—rather than disqualifying partners who don't meet predetermined standards—creates more sustainable and culturally contextualized anti-trafficking interventions. Living immersively in the communities being served allows organizations to co-design programs with survivors and understand the daily realities that shape vulnerability, from gathering water at 5 AM to facing harassment after 6 PM. Successful prevention requires creating bridges between vulnerable communities and the private sector, as demonstrated by Nomi Network's partnerships with major employers like India's largest manufacturers and Toyota subsidiaries that provide direct job pipelines. Youth in Dallas County's detention system who complete Nomi Network's apprenticeship programs secure jobs earning $18 per hour—more than double the minimum wage—fundamentally changing their economic trajectories and reducing trafficking vulnerability. The anti-trafficking movement is increasingly leveraging technology and AI as tools for prevention and intervention, recognizing that criminal networks are already using these technologies at exponential rates to target vulnerable populations. Self-care practices including morning exercise routines, faith-based reflection, and intentional rest enable sustained leadership in emotionally demanding anti-trafficking work, helping leaders operate from inspiration rather than obligation.

And as I looked into his eyes, I could see desperation and I didn't even know what, if he knew what he was doing. [00:00:11] Delaney: When your children sleep on bare ground and you earn 75 cents a day, risk management isn't just about losing your car. It's about facing the decision to take a job that might cost you everything or watching your family starve.

Eileen Guggenheim, a former aide to then-Prince Charles and now leading the New York Academy of Art, emphatically denied any role in facilitating an introduction between Charles and Jeffrey Epstein. Her statement came in response to recurring tabloid insinuations suggesting that she had served as the conduit linking the future king to the disgraced financier. Her denial was swift and pointed: simply put, she had no involvement in bringing the two into contact.Yet this sort of sweeping, “nothing to see here” denial has become almost a reflex among those who orbited Epstein — a well-rehearsed performance of indignation that sidesteps the deeper questions. Guggenheim can insist she never introduced Charles to Epstein, but the problem is that these denials are often delivered in a vacuum, without transparency, documentation, or a willingness to open the books. In the Epstein ecosystem, too many people have tried to firewall their reputations with carefully worded statements, betting that the press won't dig past the headline. Whether her claim is true or not, it lands in the same well-worn pattern: elite figures distancing themselves from Epstein only when their names surface, and offering little more than their own word as proof.To contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8652923/Prince-Charles-former-aide-denies-introducing-student-Jeffrey-Epstein.html

Por Yaiza Santos Le llevó un buen rato analizar el sintagma «memoria democrática» para comentar lo que el Gobierno ha ordenado hacer con la jefatura de Policía de Vía Layetana. Bien sabe él que no son más que las migajas a las que está obligado Sánchez para alimentar a los nacionalistas si quiere permanecer en el poder los años que le quedan, pero no quiso dejar de proponer una resignificación –como dicen– de la resignificación. Nadie niega que en ese edificio se cometieran actos indignos contra la humanidad, y que desde allí se trazaran estrategias para que la libertad y la dignidad florecieran en nuestro país. Pero eso no fue lo único que ocurrió en él. Desde allí, también, honrados empleados del Estado trabajaron en la defensa de la democracia en España, por ejemplo contra el terrorismo. Y no digamos el papel que tuvieron en el infausto 1 de octubre, cuando fueron los únicos funcionarios que cumplieron con su obligación. ¡Democrática! Así pues, propone que al lado de la plaquita que coloquen sobre las torturas del franquismo, que pongan una también recordando a los héroes de la Vía Layetana. Qué cansado está del horóscopo de la Aemet, que tiene en alerta roja a Barcelona por una tormenta de verano. Lo tiene dicho: no puede ser ese rojo el mismo que el de la trágica dana, porque entonces se estará atentando contra la seguridad.

In this episode of The Teamcast, Dr. Angus Fletcher joins Preston Cline to discuss the crucial role of "productive discomfort" and honesty in personal and professional growth. They explore how embracing emotional challenges, rather than shielding individuals from them, is vital for true learning and resilience. Angus describes his concept of "story thinking," emphasizing the brain's natural inclination to process experiences through narrative and emotion. The conversation touches on the shortcomings of modern education in fostering emotional robustness and concludes with practical advice for leaders on cultivating independent thinking by recognizing and congratulating actions that differ from their own.Dr. Angus Fletcher is a professor and practitioner of Story Science at Project Narrative at The Ohio State University. He holds degrees in neuroscience and literature. His research, which employs a mix of laboratory experiments, literary history, and rhetorical theory, explores how literature, art, and stories can cultivate emotional resilience, creativity, and common sense. He is the author of Wonderworks (2021), Storythinking (2023), and Primal Intelligence (2025), among other books. His work explores why children are more creative than computer AI and aims to understand how narrative can be leveraged to enhance innovation, resilience, and joy. His academic publications can be found in journals like Narrative, Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, and Harvard Business Review.Check out Angus's work here: https://www.angusfletcher.co/

DREAM WITH US, and we'll teach you how to interpret them!Viviane Silvera animated 30,000 of her hand-painted images to explore how traumatic memories are formed, stored, and ultimately transformed. Her animated documentary, SEE MEMORY, traces the intimate story of a young woman caught between past and present; her film captures the fragmented texture of trauma and the healing that becomes possible when painful memories are witnessed. In our conversation with Viviane, we explore her process of recovering lost memories and how opposing perspectives can constellate new attitudes toward trauma. We discuss cutting-edge findings on the way the brain stores and changes memory and reveal the intersection of art, science, and psyche. Watch SEE MEMORY on PBS (now live!): Streaming LinkHere's a list of all the broadcast DATES About Viviane:Viviane Silvera is an award-winning artist and filmmaker whose work blends painting, animation, and neuroscience to illuminate memory, trauma, and the unconscious.

Kylie Manning is a painter, surfer, and fisher based in Brooklyn, New York. Her parents were both art teachers, and, while she was growing up, the family moved between their home in Juneau, Alaska, to various regions in Mexico, which would inform her artwork—and her surfing. She is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts with a double major in philosophy and visual arts. While she was getting her MFA at the New York Academy of Art, she had a captain's license to operate 500-ton commercial fishing boats on international waters, and spent her summers catching salmon on the Pacific coast. Manning has gained global respect for her abstract figurative paintings, which embody powerful yet delicate compositions with brushstrokes that seem to be in motion. Her work is held in numerous collections worldwide, including the Columbus Museum of Art, Ohio; Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, Florida; and the X and Yuz Museums in China. In this episode of Soundings, Manning talks with Jamie Brisick about weather and wonderment, beauty and brawls aboard commercial fishing vessels, atmospheric fascination, style, her proudest artworks, the nuances between grit and growth, and her collaboration with the New York City Ballet.

Highly processed vegetable oils, derived from seeds and beans, have become a dominant part of modern diets despite significant health concerns. Historical biases in nutrition science, influenced by the vegetable oil industry, have promoted these oils despite evidence from controlled studies showing negative health outcomes. These oils are unstable, prone to oxidation, and can create toxic byproducts, particularly when exposed to heat, contributing to inflammation and chronic diseases. Although they can lower LDL cholesterol, studies have shown that this reduction does not necessarily improve heart health and may increase risks for other conditions like cancer. In contrast, traditional fats like extra virgin olive oil and omega-3-rich foods offer more stability and health benefits, emphasizing the need for a balanced, minimally processed approach to dietary fats. In this episode, I talk with Nina Teicholz and Max Lugavere to explore the health impacts of different types of fats and oils, debunking misconceptions around cooking with extra virgin olive oil and emphasizing the dangers of industrial vegetable oils. Nina Teicholz is a science journalist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Big Fat Surprise, which upended the conventional wisdom on dietary fat—especially saturated fat—and spurred a new conversation about whether these fats in fact cause heart disease. She is also the founder of the Nutrition Coalition, a non-profit working to ensure that government nutrition policy is transparent and evidence-based—work for which she's been asked to testify before the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Canadian Senate. Max Lugavere is a health and science journalist and the author of the New York Times best-seller Genius Foods: Become Smarter, Happier, and More Productive While Protecting Your Brain for Life, now published in 10 languages around the globe. His sophomore book, also a best-seller, is called The Genius Life: Heal Your Mind, Strengthen Your Body, and Become Extraordinary and latest book Genius Kitchen. Max is the host of a #1 iTunes health and wellness podcast, called The Genius Life. Max appears regularly on The Dr. Oz Show, The Rachael Ray Show, and The Doctors. He has contributed to Medscape, Vice, Fast Company, CNN, and The Daily Beast, has been featured on NBC Nightly News, The Today Show, and in The New York Times and People Magazine. He is an internationally sought-after speaker and has given talks at South by Southwest, the New York Academy of Sciences, the Biohacker Summit in Stockholm, Sweden, and many others.

To true fans, baseball is so much more than a sport. Some call it the perfect game. Some see it as a field of dreams. A portal to another dimension. Some see it as a road to God. Others—”heathen” we might call them—find the game unutterably boring. Too confusing, too long, too nit-picky about rules.In this episode, Yankee fan John Sexton (President Emeritus of New York University and Benjamin F. Butler Professor of Law) joins Red Sox fan Evan Rosa to discuss the philosophical and spiritual aspects of baseball. John is the author of the 2013 bestselling book Baseball as a Road to God, which is based on a course he has taught at NYU for over twenty years.Image Credit: “The American National Game of Base Ball: Grand Match for the Championship at the Elysian Fields, Hoboken, N.

This is an amazing chapter written by Robert B Stone and Jose Silva that explains the silva method. This is written with the intention of helping business managers but it ends up being one of the best summaries of the silva method. What I find amazing about the silva method is that this is a scientific step by step form of meditation that creates real practical results in creating powerful states of consciousness and can be used to master telepathic communication and aids in efficiently manifesting and exponentially increasing the effectiveness of visualization and manifestation methods.In addition to that. Twenty-five years ago the world lost Robert B.

Dr. McCullough has made presentations on the advancement of medicine across the world and has been an invited lecturer at the New York Academy of Sciences, the National Institutes of Health, U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), European Medicines Agency, and the U.S. Congressional Oversight Panel. Dr. McCullough begins the conversation with how Fauci lied to the people. The science they used was political science not peer reviewed science. The CDC,FDA and other lied about the vaccines, they do not work they actually make you sick. There are now more deaths from the vaccine then the covid. Disease X is already here, the [DS] already has vaccines standing by, but there are other cures that will protect you.
