Welcome back, researchers! In this compelling episode, we dismantle the Ryukyu Theory once and for all with irrefutable evidence from Juan González de Mendoza's historic accounts. We trace the clear and consistent geographic data from early explorers—Barbosa, Pinto, Pigafetta, and more—all pointing to Luzon as the true location of Lequios. No more confusion. No more Jesuit-influenced distortions. This is history locked in by maps, primary sources, and even official Spanish archives. Mendoza's geography doesn't lie: Lequios = Luzon. The Ryukyu narrative? Pure propaganda.

Manuel Pinto, analista de mercados comenta la situación actual de los principales valores e índices bursátiles, destacando las crecientes dudas en torno a la evolución del mercado español. advierte sobre señales de fatiga en el mercado español y analiza el impacto de la caída del dólar en la inflación. Sobre esta situación Pinto comenta que “se empieza a notar cierta fatiga en el mercado nacional tras varios meses de subidas”, y matiza que, a pesar del optimismo mostrado por gestoras como BlackRock respecto a España, no observa catalizadores claros que impulsen al alza los valores en el corto plazo. “Los resultados empresariales de este trimestre pueden generar dudas y aumentar la volatilidad”, asegura.

The Trump administration's continued shrinking of the federal government continues to have immense ramifications on the region, including jobs, public safety, and the economy. A recent report from Maryland's Comptroller's office shows how deeply tied Maryland's economy is to the federal government, drawing more than $150 billion from federal government jobs, grants, contracts, and payments annually. The state's comptroller Brooke Lierman joined the show, saying the pace of the cuts is concerning. However, Lierman said the state is working to diversify into the private sector instead of an overreliance on the federal government."All of these folks have chosen to go into public service, but would also do incredibly well and be very successful in other fields," Lierman said. "We have an incredible biotech industry in Maryland. We have cyber, we have quantum, and more."D.C. councilmembers broadly agree that the city's violence interruption programs are in need of changes, following public criticism of the programs and multiple bribery scandals. However, councilmembers are not in agreement on what exactly do to about it. This week, Ward 2 D.C. Councilmember Brooke Pinto proposed major reforms as part of the ongoing budget debate. It was met with significant pushback, leading her to pitch a whole new plan. Councilmember Pinto got the behind the mic to explain what happened and what comes next.Finally, Montgomery County councilmembers are pushing a package of bills for more workforce housing, particularly allowing construction of residences along transit corridors. The package also includes tax breaks for some developers. District 6 Montgomery County Councilmember Natali Fani-González and co-sponsor of the somewhat controversial legislative package weighed in. Plus, why county officials are pressing Marriott to sign an agreement to not retaliate against union members and why the Trump administration's ramp up of federal immigration enforcement efforts throughout the D-C region is deeply personal for her.Send us questions and comments for guests: kojo@wamu.orgFollow us on Instagram: instagram.com/wamu885Follow us on Bluesky: bsky.app/wamu.org

Depois do terror, segundo ouvi dizer, as crianças aprendem a ver no escuro. É uma espécie de talento que nasce da necessidade de controlar a proliferação de imagens que o medo nos sugere. São cineastas dessa circunstância intolerável. Porque o escuro admite o pior. Da mesma forma há quem fale consigo mesmo, procure uma ordem qualquer de que se possa ocupar, às vezes retoma uma conversa mal resolvida, responde a alguém, confronta uma e outra vez o seu exausto repertório de truques, vai buscar cenas, planos de filmes e investiga tudo aquilo que sem se ter dado conta aprendeu de cor, a posição de cada objecto, que agora adquirem uma estranha densidade, um peso extraordinário. Saber convocar o sono é um dom, combater uma circunstância desfavorável, escavar um túnel a partir da cela do tédio. Era assim que Cyril Connolly explicava a necessidade da arte, defendendo que esta “é a tentativa mais nobre do homem para preservar a Imaginação do Tempo, para fabricar brinquedos mentais inquebráveis, bolos de lama que durem”… O cinema é um assunto das infâncias que mais foram obrigadas a escarafunchar certas feridas, a aguentar a imensa desolação da realidade, sobretudo para quem tem uma natureza atenta. O cinema é esse território dos mudos, dos que aprendem o valor de um enquadramento, de uma sequência, dos cortes, da montagem. Os que se deram ao trabalho de fazer do olhar uma lição de história. Se a uma criança, quando lhe perguntam o que quer ser quando for grande, nunca ouvimos a resposta – “Vou ser crítico de cinema” –, como notou, certa vez, François Truffaut numa entrevista, talvez isso se explique por estar longe de supor que haja outros que não precisam de mais estímulos, pois fizeram da memória o seu projector, e tiram prazer de fazer do cinema o motivo de longas exposições, conversas infinitas. São muitos, na verdade, os que se encontram na mesma situação, consideravelmente treinados desde crianças a ver filmes, a pensar sobre eles e, mais tarde, com os anos, ao encontrarem a sua tribo, a falar deles, a discorrer durante horas sobre cada detalhe, mas depois, até por esse excesso, são incapazes de passar para o outro lado, ter a audácia ou a veleidade imbecil de fazer um filme. Há uma espécie de erudição culpada, que em vez de iluminar, pesa intimamente. Em vez de se transformar num balanço atrevido, acumula-se como dívida, pede imensas desculpas, retira-se. É o saber do crítico que lê demais, vê demais, anota demais — e escreve de menos ou escreve como se estivesse sempre a dever explicações. É um saber que se constrange, que se encurva. Em vez de cortar na carne da obra, contorna-a com aparato técnico, com um dicionário em punho e medo de parecer ingénuo. Esquece, assim, que a verdadeira erudição é leve, ofensiva, cortante. Esta é a condição do espectador que perdeu a inocência e, com ela, a coragem de errar, de improvisar, de sentir sem aparato. Guillermo Cabrera Infante fala-nos de um crítico que sentia necessidade de atafulhar cada texto de um tal excesso de referências que, para lá do alarde da erudição, lhes emprestavam uma morbidez própria de quem gosta de arrastar cadáveres ou trocar restos entre túmulos, fazer combinações bizarras nas horas de tédio em que lhe é dado zelar por um desses arquivos que aguardam a completa digestão das larvas. Vale a pena reproduzir o texto… “Caín gostava de fazer frequentemente um grande alarde erudito. A sua erudição chegava ao ponto de dizer que H. C. Robbins Landon estava a completar o catálogo total da música de Haydn; que Tchékhov conheceu Tchaikovsky em São Petersburgo, no início de Dezembro de 1888; que a modelo preferida de Delacroix se chamava Émilie Robert; que, se o jazz nasceu nos bordéis de Nova Orleães, foi a ordem da Secretaria da Marinha norte-americana, em 1917, ao encerrá-los, a ocasião para a sua difusão e desenvolvimento posterior. Etc. Parece-me que Caín encontrava estas citações ao acaso, nas suas leituras caóticas e, por isso mesmo, múltiplas, e que as ia anotando nas críticas à primeira oportunidade, viessem ou não a propósito. Um dia disse-lho. A resposta dele deixou-me gelado (tão gelado que, se tivesse tido sabor, não estaria aqui a contar isto: estávamos à porta de uma escola), porque respondeu-me com uma citação de Chesterton: ‘Afinal, creio que hoje não me vou enforcar', foi o que disse.” Onde queremos chegar? Essa costuma ser uma interrogação bastante cruel. Talvez ainda seja o mesmo problema do início, a criança que faz filmes para si, inventa o cinema para não ser absorvida pelo escuro. Neste episódio, vamos traçar um percurso entre esse desejo de ser encantado, entre a descoberta do cinema como arte produtora de uma memória defensiva, e um enredo formidável de correspondências, imagens que nutrem uma espécie de sistema imunitário e de resposta da imaginação contra circunstâncias infamantes. Nessa linha que vai de um cinema paraíso à degenerescência dos que só conseguem tratar as fitas como oportunidades para levarem a cabo processos de dissecação, contámos desta vez com Beatriz Silva Pinto, que além de trabalhar no Cinema Batalha, tem uma relação empenhada com esta arte, e uma perspectiva pouco cínica das possibilidades de expansão que nos oferece, desde logo enquanto antídoto face à dissolução das comunidades, e ao retrocesso dos espaços de encontro e resistência a um quotidiano cadaveroso.
Há problemas (Al) Ahly! Resolvem-se mudando o treinador? Trazendo o Paulinho e o João Pinto para titulares? Quem serão as personas que nos vão devolver as vitórias? Ou basta sentar e esperar pelo Messias?
1985 é o ano da entrada de Portugal na Comunidade Económica Europeia. Ano de mudanças sociais profundas, até na relação com o mundo, e ano de domínio absoluto do FC Porto no campeonato nacional de futebol. Faz agora 40 anos que Pinto da Costa celebrou o primeiro título enquanto presidente dos dragões e é dessa época que se fala neste DESTINO: SAUDADE. O Benfica teve de se contentar com a Taça de Portugal, ganha precisamente ao FC Porto. No 'Domingo Desportivo' a figura maior é Manuel José, treinador de um Portimonense europeu nesse ano de 1985 e na 'Cassete VHS' temos 'Gente Gira', um clássico dos 80s. Fechamos com o 'Música, Maestro' e o hino maior do ano de 85: 'We Are the World'.
Nos 50 anos da independência de Cabo Verde, a RFI publica uma série de reportagens sobre este tema. Neste primeiro episódio, abordamos as raízes da revolta com algumas das pessoas que lutaram pela libertação nacional, como Pedro Pires, Osvaldo Lopes da Silva, Alcides Évora, Maria Ilídia Évora e Marline Barbosa Almeida, mas também com o historiador António Correia e Silva e o jornalista José Vicente Lopes. Foram mais de cinco séculos de dominação colonial, uma história marcada pelo comércio de pessoas escravizadas, ciclos de fome, secas e emigração forçada. A independência foi a 5 de Julho de 1975, mas a resistência começou muito antes, ainda que tenha sido a Geração Cabral a desencadear a luta de libertação e a conduzir Cabo Verde à independência. No século XIX, a elite letrada já manifestava uma atitude contestatária face ao poder colonial. Intelectuais como Eugénio Tavares, Pedro Cardoso, Luís Loff e, mais tarde, os chamados “claridosos” denunciaram os problemas que afectavam a população e exaltaram a singularidade e a identidade do povo cabo-verdiano. Na década de 1940, uma nova geração de intelectuais, inspirados pelos antecessores, passam a reivindicar o direito à independência. O historiador e sociólogo António Correia e Silva sublinha que a Geração Cabral é fruto de lutas anteriores, que o fantasma das fomes foi determinante para desencadear o movimento de libertação e que, nessa altura, a ideia de “independência se torna politicamente credível”. “Gabriel Mariano vai escrever um grande poema sobre a fome que se chama 'Capitão Ambrósio': 'Bandeira negra, negra bandeira da fome…'. Eu costumo dizer aos meus alunos que bandeira, negra e fome é um triângulo virado para o futuro e que a bandeira negra da fome era, na verdade, uma fome de bandeira, uma fome de independência”, descreve António Correia e Silva. “Essa geração de Amílcar Cabral, o grande salto é que, através de uma aliança pan-africana, aproveitando uma conjuntura pós-guerra, a criação das Nações Unidas e a ideia de autodeterminação que surge naquela altura, a ocorrência de algumas independências de países afro-asiáticos, países grandes como a Indonésia, a Índia, o Egipto, etc, tudo isto provoca a passagem, a violação do interdito, a passagem do intransponível limite que era a independência. Isto é, a independência torna-se pensável, mas mais, torna-se politicamente credível”, acrescenta o historiador. As grandes crises de fome em Cabo Verde entre 1941 e 1942 e entre 1947 e 1948 foram de uma violência brutal, com milhares de mortos. Em 1939, a população estava avaliada em 174 mil pessoas e caiu, em 1950, para 139 mil. Os sobreviventes emigravam em massa para as plantações de São Tomé e Príncipe, onde viviam, trabalhavam e muitos morriam em condições semelhantes às da escravatura. Outros conseguiam emigrar clandestinamente para espaços que não o do Império português. Na memória colectiva há um episódio trágico que não se esquece. Foi a 20 de Fevereiro de 1949, na cidade da Praia e ficou conhecido como o Desastre da Assistência. Centenas de pessoas, que aguardavam pela distribuição de refeições quentes, morreram quando caiu o muro do edifício dos Serviços de Assistência. Estima-se que mais de três mil pessoas se reuniam diariamente nesse espaço para receber a única refeição do dia. Dados oficiais apontavam para 232 vítimas, mas teme-se que o número tenha sido muito superior. Muitas vítimas foram enterradas em valas comuns no Cemitério da Várzea, embrulhadas em lençóis, por falta de caixões. Alcides Évora era uma criança nessa altura, mas lembra-se de ter visto as valas comuns. “Eu comecei a ter uma certa revolta interna desde o início da década de 40. Na altura, eu tinha sete ou oito anos e presenciei a fome de 47. Ainda lembro quando houve o desastre da assistência em que foram transportados, feridos e mortos do local para o Hospital da Praia. Havia tantos mortos. Inclusive muitas casas ficaram fechadas porque não houve nenhum sobrevivente da família que pudesse abrir a porta das suas residências. Da mesma forma, assisti ao enterro na Várzea, na vala comum, em que punham um grupo de cadáveres, depois deitavam o cal e depois punham outra camada de mortos e assim sucessivamente. É algo que ficou gravado na memória. Isto também me fez despertar uma certa revolta interna contra o sistema colonial português”, recorda. Gil Querido Varela também testemunhou a fome de 1947 e viu crianças a morrerem. Por isso, a revolta foi inevitável e quando surgiu a oportunidade aderiu à luta clandestina nas fileiras do PAIGC em Cabo Verde. “Quem já tinha visto a fome de 47 - que eu vi - não ficava sem fazer nada. Vi crianças a morrerem de fome, corpos inflamados de fome. Vi mães com crianças mortas nas costas, não as tiravam para poderem achar esmola. Os colonialistas troçavam do povo, da fome do pobre. Quando veio o PAIGC, entrei rápido. Quem viu aquela fome, era impossível para não lutar. Só quem não tem sentimento”, lembra Gil Querido Varela, que nos leva, num outro episódio ao Campo de Concentração do Tarrafal. A fome também ensombra as memórias de Marline Barbosa Almeida. Foi a partir daí que ela decidiu juntar-se à luta, também na clandestidade. Quis ver a sua terra “livre e independente”. “Nós, que nascemos nos anos 40, 50, vimos aquele período de fome, em que morreram muitas pessoas e o culminar foi o Desastre da Assistência, que matou dezenas, para não dizer centenas de pessoas. Daí cresceu em nós uma certa revolta que não estava classificada politicamente, mas era uma revolta contra a situação de Cabo Verde. Mais tarde, eu, como lia muito - eu devorava livros – fui-me apercebendo das desigualdades, da opressão, do que era necessário para que saíssemos do jugo do colonialismo”, conta Marline Barbosa Almeida, em sua casa, na Praia. No livro “Cabo Verde - Um Corpo que se Recusa a Morrer - 70 anos de fome - 1949-2019”, o jornalista José Vicente Lopes fala sobre o Desastre da Assistência, considerando que a luta de libertação do PAIGC teve como um dos motores a fome que assolava desde sempre o arquipélago. “Este livro fala de um acontecimento que houve em Cabo Verde, que foi o Desastre de Assistência de 1949, e cobre a história de Cabo Verde de 1949 a 2019, numa perspectiva da questão alimentar em Cabo Verde, a história das fomes, o impacto que isto foi tendo nos cabo-verdianos até desembocar inclusive na criação do PAIGC. O PAIGC foi uma reacção à calamidade famélica que foi sucedendo em Cabo Verde desde o século XVI ao século XX porque até 1949, quando se dá o Desastre de Assistência, qualquer seca que acontecesse em Cabo Verde matava no mínimo 10.000, 20.000 pessoas”, sublinha o jornalista, acrescentando que “o espectro da fome não desapareceu porque, apesar de todos os investimentos feitos, apesar de tudo o que se conseguiu fazer, mesmo um bom ano agrícola, um bom ano de chuvas em Cabo Verde, Cabo Verde não consegue produzir mais de 20% das suas necessidades alimentares, logo, 80% tem que ser importado”. As violências coloniais eram de toda a ordem. Maria Ilídia Évora tinha cinco anos quando viu o pai a ser espancado por brancos. A imagem nunca mais a deixou, assim como o medo incontrolável sempre que via alguém de pele branca. Mais tarde, ela viria a integrar um grupo de cabo-verdianos que foi treinado em Cuba para desencadear a guerrilha em Cabo Verde e viria ainda a trabalhar em hospitais durante a guerra na Guiné. “Uma pessoa a bater em alguém que não fez nada, a bater daquela maneira como baterem no meu pai, uma criança não entende. Eu não entendi. Nunca entendi. Até conhecer o Amílcar, para mim, o branco era o diabo. Eu considerava o branco uma coisa muito ruim. Bater em alguém que não fez nada, que só estava lá porque quis conviver com um patrício amigo, não tinha sentido. Porque para a gente, amizade é amizade. Ele não foi fazer nada, ele não tinha nada nas mãos, nem nos pés, nem em nenhum lugar, e acharam que era um inimigo a ser abatido. Essa coisa nunca me saiu da cabeça”, conta-nos na sua casa, no Mindelo. Todas estas circunstâncias alimentaram a coragem dos que acreditaram na luta. Muitos deles, depois de terem passado no Liceu Gil Eanes, em São Vicente, depois na Casa dos Estudantes do Império, em Portugal, acabariam por "dar o salto". Em 1961, dezenas de angolanos, mas também moçambicanos e cabo-verdianos nacionalistas fogem clandestinamente de Portugal e protagonizam uma fuga massiva histórica para França nas barbas do salazarismo. Vários acabaram por ser figuras de destaque nas lutas de libertação nacional e, mais tarde, ocuparam também postos de relevo nos novos Estados. Pedro Pires foi um dos que escolheu seguir Amílcar Cabral, o líder da luta de libertação da Guiné e Cabo Verde. Era o momento de deixar tudo para trás e arriscar por uma causa. “Chegou um momento em que era preciso alguém correr riscos. Não quer dizer que todos iam correr riscos, mas tinha chegado o momento em que aqueles que achassem que podiam correr riscos ou aqueles que achassem que estivessem no dever de correr riscos, no dever da solidariedade e no dever de serviço em favor do seu país, do seu povo, decidiu correr o risco. Mas o risco é inerente a qualquer decisão e aí nós optamos ou ficar parados e não fazer nada ou então agir e correr riscos. Eu acho que tem sempre resultados, com maiores ou menores dificuldades. O facto de corrermos risco, podemos mudar muita coisa. Foi o que aconteceu connosco. Nós éramos um grupo que saiu na mesma altura ou no mesmo dia, éramos cerca de 60 jovens que decidiram correr o risco”, resume o antigo comandante. Osvaldo Lopes da Silva, comandante de artilharia mobilizado na Guiné, também correu o risco e esteve nessa fuga. Ele recorda esse pontapé de saída para a luta de libertação. “Atravessámos a fronteira de autocarro. Foram vários grupos, cada um foi à sua maneira. Depois, estivemos concentrados nas cercanias de San Sebastian. Quando íamos atravessar a fronteira, o elemento na fronteira que devia facilitar a nossa saída, tinha desaparecido. De forma que fomos presos. Estivemos dois dias na prisão central de San Sebastian e, às tantas, de repente, aparece o director da prisão com um discurso todo terceiro-mundista que 'o povo, o governo da Espanha estiveram sempre ao lado daqueles que lutam pela liberdade, pela independência, etc, etc'. Para nós, foi uma grande surpresa e fomos postos em liberdade. E a verdade é que, pelos documentos que reuniram, viram que essa gente não são maltrapilhos quaisquer, são gente com qualificação”, lembra. Muitos dos que estiveram nessa fuga, tinham frequentado e cultivado a reafricanização dos espíritos num dos principais berços da contestação ao colonial fascismo português: a Casa dos Estudantes do Império. Foi criada em 1944, em Lisboa, pelo próprio regime ditatorial para apoiar os jovens “ultramarinos” que fossem estudar para a “metrópole”, e encerrada em 1965. Duas décadas em que foi uma escola de consciencialização política do nacionalismo africano, fosse na sede lisboeta ou nas delegações de Coimbra e no Porto, ajudando à criação dos movimentos de libertação das colónias portuguesas em África. Outro centro de pensamento anticolonial foi o Centro de Estudos Africanos, em cujo grupo fundador esteve o futuro pai das independências da Guiné-Bissau e de Cabo Verde. Amílcar Cabral foi também vice-presidente da Casa dos Estudantes do Império em 1951. A sua segunda esposa, Ana Maria Cabral, também por lá passou e recorda a importância do local para a contestação. “Fui levada pelos meus irmãos mais velhos e não havia só bailes, havia encontros, havia reuniões sobre a situação dos nossos países, em especial quando os franceses e os ingleses começaram a dar a independência às suas antigas colónias. Seguimos todo o processo dessas independências. Nós todos éramos Lumumba e Nkrumah. Nós seguíamos a luta dos outros povos, dos povos das colónias e não só das colónias em África”, explica Ana Maria Cabral. Muitos dos que passaram pela Casa dos Estudantes do Império vieram a assumir importantes responsabilidades na luta anticolonial e de libertação dos antigos territórios em África, como Amílcar Cabral, Vasco Cabral, Agostinho Neto, Mário Pinto de Andrade, Eduardo Mondlane, Marcelino dos Santos, Joaquim Chissano e Miguel Trovoada. Pedro Pires também conheceu de perto a Casa dos Estudantes do Império. Aquele que foi comandante e destacado dirigente político-militar do PAIGC na luta de libertação, assim como o principal arquitecto do Acordo de Lisboa para a independência, resume que a luta contra a opressão colonial foi desencadeada pelo próprio colonialismo. “É o próprio sistema colonial, que não dava resposta às necessidades e às dificuldades, enfim, às crises por que passava a Cabo Verde, mas também que não se interessava especialmente em encontrar soluções para esses problemas. O percurso histórico de Cabo Verde é trágico, em certa medida, porque os cabo-verdianos tiveram que enfrentar situações extremamente complicadas e difíceis de fome, secas, fugas, ter que buscar por outras vias as soluções e o próprio sistema que não dava resposta às necessidades e às exigências, para não dizer também aos sonhos daqueles que queriam ver o país numa via diferente. Portanto, o colonialismo era um sistema de bloqueio e era indispensável lutar contra ele, a fim de abrir novas perspectivas ao país para realizar os seus objectivos, os seus sonhos, mas também por uma coisa muito simples: para ter uma vida melhor”, considera Pedro Pires. Foi para buscar essa “vida melhor” que estes homens e mulheres abrem o caminho para a luta de libertação, da qual vamos recordar alguns momentos nos próximos episódios.

¿Qué tal? Buenos días. Saludos de Sergio Barbosa en nombre de la gente que hace posible Herrera en COPE en este miércoles 25 de junio de 2025. Los que tenemos que venir a la radio en plena madrugada a tocar el piano del pobre, el teclado del ordenador para escribir unas líneas y ordenar la actualidad informativa. Hemos pasado otra noche con un ojo en Pinto y otro en Valdemoro.

True grit? Not the movie or book, but a real live individual. I met Laura Bratton about a month ago and realized that she was a very unique individual. Laura was referred to me by a gentleman who is helping both Laura and me find speaking venue leads through his company. Laura is just ramping up her public speaking career and our mutual colleague, Sam Richter, thought I could be of help. Little did I know at the outset that not only would I gain an excellent podcast guest, but that I would find someone whose life parallelled mine in many ways. Laura Bratton began losing her eyesight at the age of nine years. Like me, she was one of the lucky ones who had parents who made the choice to encourage their daughter and help her live her life to the fullest. And live it she does. Laura attended public school in South Carolina and then went to Arizona State University to secure her bachelor's degree in Psychology. Why ASU? Wait until you hear Laura tell that story. After securing her degree in Psychology she moved to the Princeton School of Divinity where she secured a Master's degree in Divinity. She followed up her Master's work by serving in a chaplaincy program in Ohio for a year. Then, if all that wasn't enough, she became a pastor in the United Methodist Church and took a position in South Carolina. She still works part time as a pastor, but she also has taken some other exciting and positive life turns. As I mentioned earlier, she is now working to build a public speaking career. She also does one-on-one coaching. In 2016 she wrote her first book. Laura shares many poignant and relevant life lessons she has learned over the years. We talk about courage, gratitude and grit. I asked her to define grit which she does. A very interesting and good definition indeed. I often get the opportunity to have guests on this podcast who share life and other lessons with all of us. To me, Laura's insights are as relevant as any I have encountered. I hope you will feel the same after listening to our conversation. Please let me know what you think. You can email me at michaelhi@accessibe.com. About the Guest: At the age of nine, Laura was diagnosed with an eye disease and faced the difficult reality that she would become blind. Over the next ten years she experienced the traumatic transition of adjusting to life without sight. Laura adjusted to her new normal and was able to move forward in life as she graduated from Arizona State University with a BA in psychology. She then was the first blind student to receive her Masters of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary. She is the author of the book, Harnessing Courage. Laura founded Ubi Global, which is an organization that provides speaking and coaching to empower all people to overcome challenges and obstacles with grit and gratitude.

Well and a gracious hello to you, wherever you happen to be on our planet today, I am your host, Michael Hinkson, and you are listening to unstoppable mindset where inclusion, diversity and the unexpected meet, and we sort of get to tie several of those together today, because my guest, Laura Bratton happens to be blind, so that brings inclusion into it, and we could talk about diversity all day. The experts really tend to make that a challenge, but we can talk about it ourselves, but Laura is blind, and she's going to tell us about that, and I don't know what else, because that's the unexpected part of this, but we're going to have ourselves a lot of fun for the next hour. She knows that the only rule of the podcast is you got to have fun, and you can't do better than that. So Laura, welcome to unstoppable mindset. We're glad you're here. Laura Bratton ** 02:12 Thank you. Thank you for this opportunity. I'm excited. Michael Hingson ** 02:15 Well, this will be some fun, I'm sure, which is, of course, what it's all about. Well, why don't we start by you telling us kind of about the early Laura, growing up and all that, and anything about that that you think we ought to know that'll help us as we go forward. Laura Bratton ** 02:31 So the early Laura was, Michael Hingson ** 02:34 you know, that was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. But yeah, Laura Bratton ** 02:38 was was fearless. Was involved in so many different activities, and I didn't have any health concerns or vision problems. And then around the age of nine, after the summer, after my second grade school year, my parents started noticing she's just holding books a little bit closer. She's just sitting a little bit closer to the TV than normal, than usually. So my they decided we'll just make a regular pediatric ophthalmology appointment, take her to the doctor, get the doctor to check her out. You know, if you need glasses, that's fine, and we'll just move on with our our summer and prepare for a new school year. So that June, when I had that doctor's appointment, my eyes were dilated. I'd read the the letters on the chart in the room. The doctors had looked in my eyes, and then the doctor just rolled back in his chair and looked at my mom and said, there's a major problem going on, and we need to address this, and I'm going to send you to a retina specialist. There's something major going on with her retinas. So from that appointment that started the rest of the summer and into the fall of just having doctors, different doctors appointments, meeting with specialists, trying to figure out why this 910, year old was all of a sudden having vision problems. Michael Hingson ** 04:20 So yeah, go ahead that, Laura Bratton ** 04:22 yeah. So that started the whole vision loss journey, Michael Hingson ** 04:27 and what was the diagnosis that they finally came up with? Laura Bratton ** 04:31 So they finally came up with a diagnosis of rare retinal onset disease. So it's not genetic. It wasn't like another accident, physical accident that calls the blindness. It's most similar to macular. So what I was losing first was my central vision. I still had all my peripheral vision, so it's very similar to macular, but not. Not quite macular or star guards. What's happens in children? So that's the diagnosis, just rare retinal disease. Michael Hingson ** 05:11 Interesting, and they they didn't have any idea that what caused it. Do they have any better idea today? Or is it just so rare that they don't tend to pay a whole lot of attention. Great Laura Bratton ** 05:23 question, yes and yes. So I've done a lot of genetic testing over the years, and the gene has not been discovered. That is obviously what they are predicting, is that there had to be some kind of gene mutation. But that gene hasn't been discovered. So far, the genes that are identified with vision problems, those have not been the problem for me so far. So the gene, Gene hasn't been discovered. So testing continues, but not exactly sure yet. Michael Hingson ** 05:59 Yeah. So do you have any eyesight left, or is it all gone? Laura Bratton ** 06:04 I don't, so to continue kind of that process of of the the early childhood. So I was diagnosed around nine, but I didn't lose any major vision until I was in middle school. So the end of middle school is when I started to lose a significant part of sight. So I went from very quickly from roller print, large print, to braille, and that was a very quick transition. So basically it was normal print to learning Braille and using Braille and textbooks and Braille and audio books and all that. Then through high school, I will throw more a significant amount of vision. So what I have currently is just very limited light perception, no, what I consider no usable vision, just light perception, Michael Hingson ** 06:55 so you learn braille. So you learn braille in middle school. Then, yes, okay, absolutely. What did you think about that? Because that was certainly a life change for you. How did you deal with all of that? Laura Bratton ** 07:10 How did I do with the process of learning braille or the emotional process? 07:14 Both, Laura Bratton ** 07:16 they're kind of related, so both, they're very much related. So learning Braille was incredibly difficult because I was trying to learn it at the same time. Use it with textbooks in middle school level material rather than normal development. Of you learn braille and start out, you know, with with simple books, and slowly move up. I try, you know, I had to make that adjustment from learning Braille and then algebra in Braille or Spanish and Braille. So using the Braille was very difficult, but I was because I was forced to to learn it, because I had to, just to stay in school. You didn't really have a choice. As far as the emotional perspective. My first thoughts was just the denial, oh, it's not that bad, oh, it won't be forever. Oh, it's not going to get much worse than this. Just that denial of the reality. And then I can say more, if it just kind of that whole how that whole process unfolded, that's kind of the whole emotional process. It Michael Hingson ** 08:34 certainly was a major change for you, yes, but it sounds like by the time all was said and done, and you did have to immerse yourself, like in learning Braille and so on. So it was an immersive kind of thing. You, You did come through it, and you, you seem to be functioning pretty well today, I would gather Laura Bratton ** 08:55 Yes, because of focusing on the emotional mindset piece. So once that I've sort of began to move out of denial. It was that, okay, well, I can't this is just too hard. And then what I eventually realized and accepted was, yes, it's hard and I can move forward. So just a practical example, is what you were saying about having to be fully immersed in the Braille. Yes, is really hard to jump from learning braille to knowing Braille and algebra. But also choose to move forward. As you said, I choose to immerse myself in this so that I can continue life, yeah, Michael Hingson ** 09:42 and you you have done it. Well, how? How do you view blindness today? Laura Bratton ** 09:49 That is a great question. So today is the balance of acknowledging. Yes, they're difficult moments. Yes, their stressful moments. Moments, and I have the resources to process that. So now, rather than just being a denial or being stuck in that I can't do this, I can say, okay, yes, this is hard. Yes, I am frustrated. Yes, I am overwhelmed in this moment, but also I can move forward with the gifts and purposes that I have in this world and using that as a strength. So for me, it's that acknowledging the rap the reality, but also moving forward with that belief in myself, trust in myself. Michael Hingson ** 10:39 So how long did you at the beginning really grieve and view all this in a negative way? Because it sounds like you've evolved from that today. Laura Bratton ** 10:53 Absolutely. So in my experience, the so I'm going to break the grief and the negative apart, because for me, it was two different experiences. So for me in those middle school, high school days, it was more than negative, and the grief just came along with that. Now even, you know, through college and even now, yes, there are moments that I grieve, but that negativity has turned into the mindset of strength, the mindset of trust, the mindset of okay, I can continue forward Again, living out those purposes, my purpose with those gifts as a source of strength, the source of courage. It's a source of just belief in myself. So my experience now is the mindset of holding both intention, holding space for both when I have those moments that I need to grieve, absolutely, giving myself those space and then at the same time, choosing to move forward with that courage, rather than being stuck in what I was in middle school of that negativity. Does that difference? Does that make us make sense of what I'm trying to separate the two? Michael Hingson ** 12:19 Well, yeah, they overlap, but I understand what you're saying, Where, where and how were your parents in all of this? Laura Bratton ** 12:28 So that was the incredible gift, that that was a deep source of strength, that as that middle school child who was in that negative place of denial and I can't, I can't. That was the source of strength. So immediately, when I was diagnosed, even though I didn't have major vision loss, I was diagnosed in elementary school, they wanted to send me to school for the deaf and blind, and so my parents had to fight to keep me in regular school. Again, I wasn't experiencing major vision loss, but just having minor vision loss, the school said, Okay, you're at a public school and going to a different school. So my parents were a source of strength, because they knowledge what was happening, what was going to happen, but also held me to the same standards. Michael Hingson ** 13:25 And there are some schools, I don't know how much today, but in the past, there were some schools for the blind, and I'm not sure about schools for the deaf and blind, but we'll put them in the same category. But there were some schools that really did have very high standards, and and did do a great job. The Perkins School was one. Tom Sullivan, the actor, went through Perkins and and I know other people who did, but in general, the standards weren't the same, and I had the same issue. I remember my parents. We were in the office of the school principal of Yucca school where I went kindergarten through third grade here in California, okay, and I remember a shouting match between my father and my mother on one side, and Mr. Thompson, the principal on the other. And by the time all was said and done, he decided that it was he was going to acquiesce, because they were not going to let me go to the school for the blind, which would have been like, 400 miles away. Laura Bratton ** 14:38 Okay, okay, so, so you can relate to that experience. Michael Hingson ** 14:42 I can absolutely relate to that experience, and I think that it's for kids one of the most important things to hope comes along that parents deal with blindness in a in a positive way. Yes, and don't view it as something that's going to hold you back. I. 100% Yeah, because if they do, then that creates a much more difficult situation. Yes. So it's it's great that you had some parents who really stood up for you and helped as you went Laura Bratton ** 15:15 Yes, and I was also deeply grateful that they all they held those standards at school, and they also held those standards at home. So they didn't just say, oh, you know, our expectations are lower for you at home, you don't have any more chores. You just kind of do whatever you want, get away with whatever you want. They kept those things standards. I still had chores we just made, you know, the accommodations are adapted if we needed to adapt anything. Yeah, a story that I always, always remember, just like you talking about you vividly remember being in that principal's office. I remember one day my the specific tour was unloading the dishwasher, and I remember thinking, well, oh, I'm not really, I don't really want to unload the dishwasher today. So I just kind of thought, Oh, the blindness will get me out of the situation. So I was like, Mom, I can't unload the dishwasher. I can't see exactly where to put all the silverware in the silverware of her door. And I still, I can still see this in my mind's eye. She was standing in the doorway the kitchen and the hallway, and she just turned around and just said, Laura, unload the dishwasher, put the silverware in the drawer, and just walked away. And that told me she was still holding me to the exact standards. She wasn't saying, Oh, honey, that's okay because of your blindness. Yeah, you don't have to do it. That was such a huge teaching moment for me, because it pulled me I can't use my blindness as an excuse. That was incredible experience and I always think back on and remember, Michael Hingson ** 17:04 yeah, and I remember growing up, there were chores I did, there were chores My brother did, and there were things that we had to do, but we had, and my brother was cited two years older than I, but okay, but we had very supportive parents for both of us. And one of the things that the doctors told my parents when they discovered that I was blind, was that I was going to take all the love that the family had, even for my older sibling. Oh, my parent and my parents said that is just not so, and they worked really hard to make sure that my brother got all the things that that he needed and all the support that he needed as well. Wow. When he was still in high school, I remember they got him a car, and I don't remember when he got it. Maybe, I don't know whether he was already a senior in high school, but he got a car. And, you know, I didn't want a car. I right. I didn't want that, but, you know, that was okay. I would have driven it around if I got one, but, you know, that's okay, but, but parents are such an important part of the process, yes, and they have to be ready to take the leap, yes, that blindness isn't the problem. It's attitudes. That's really, that tend to really be the problem, right? 100% Laura Bratton ** 18:24 and thankfully, thankfully, I had that. I had that experience another, another example that I always think of all the time, still such a vivid memory, is as as a family. We were a big sports family, and loved to go to different sporting events, and so we would always go to high school and college football games. And as I was in those middle school, high school years, those first, early days of experiencing difficult vision loss, where obviously I'm sitting in the sands and can't see the field clearly, rather than my parents saying, Oh, you're just going to stay home. Oh, you're not going with us. To be part of this, my dad are really, literally. Remember my dad saying, Here's a radio. I just put new batteries in. Let's go. So I would just sit there and, you know, with with my family, listening to the game on the radio. And that was such a gift, because, again, they didn't say, is what you're saying about the leap. They didn't say, okay, you can do this anymore. They just figured out a way to adapt so that I was still part. Michael Hingson ** 19:34 Yeah, I've been to a number of baseball games, and the same thing, I've never been I've been to a high school football game, but I've never been to a pro football game, and I've never been to a basketball game, and while I think it would have been fun, I'm a little bit spoiled, and I think that the announcers today aren't as good as the announcers that we used to have, like Dick Enberg doing sports out here, who did. Football chick, Hearn, who did basketball, who could talk as fast as, I mean, he was, he was he taught me how to listen fast. That's great. He he talked as fast as many times books I read talk. He was just incredible. But that's okay. But still, I've been to games, and it is a lot of fun to be able to go and listen. It's even if you're listening on the radio, the point of being at the game is just the sounds and the experience of being at the game and hearing and interacting with all the sounds, because you're not hearing that as much through the radio as you are listening to the fans as they yell, or as the Yes, as the foul balls coming at you. You know, yes 100% Laura Bratton ** 20:50 and just to feel the energy, you know, and your team's doing well, your team's not doing well, just to feel that energy, and there's to also to be there and have that, that fun experience with your family or friends, or you know, whoever you're with, that is such a fun experience. So yes, Michael Hingson ** 21:08 so when you went into high school, did, what did you study? Or what did you do there? Laura Bratton ** 21:15 What were your interests? So in college, when I Michael Hingson ** 21:18 was thinking high school, but you can do college. So Laura Bratton ** 21:21 High School, honestly, I didn't have specific professional interests, because it was just so much focused on the blind surviving and all the surviving, just the New Black, because the blindness was literally happening during high school, right? So my only focus was just survival passing because it was all of my energy was focused on the the learning Braille and just completing the assignments. Fast forward to college. My focus was definitely. My major was psychology. My focus was on psychology. A lot because of my personal experience, because of that experience in high school, and just that that not only that desire from my personal experience, but just using that experience to then help and support others from the mindset of of again, moving through that, that negativity to that, that foundation of grit. So it was definitely focused on psychology to be able to support others from a mindset perspective. Michael Hingson ** 22:36 So how did you bring that into play in college? Laura Bratton ** 22:40 So that was my focus. My My major was psychology, and then I I spent that, those years in college, figuring out specifically what area of psychology I wanted to focus on, which what, what facet of psychology I wanted my focus to be so that was, that was the purpose of the like psychology and taking different classes within psychology to try to figure out where my strengths within that Major Michael Hingson ** 23:16 and what did you discover? Laura Bratton ** 23:20 So what I discovered was I wanted the psychology to the mindset, to support people with to be that holistic perspective of, yes, the psychology, but also the spiritual connection and just our physical well being all connected together, so supporting our healthy mindsets and emotional health was not just psychology. It was the psychology, physical taking care of ourselves and the spiritual taking care of ourselves, all connected, combined together. So that's that's what led me to doing a master of divinity to be able to focus on and learn the spiritual part Michael Hingson ** 24:15 of the mindset. So what part of psychology Did you eventually settle on Laura Bratton ** 24:22 the holistic approach. So rather than just focus on specifically the mindset, focusing on us as a whole, being, supporting us through that mental, physical, spiritual connection that the healing, the empowerment came through, through all of that. So in that masters, what I focus on specifically was chaplaincy, so supporting people specifically I was a hospital chaplain, so focusing on helping people within the hospital setting, when they're there for different physical reasons and. Being able to be that spiritual presence focusing on both the spiritual and the emotional. Michael Hingson ** 25:07 And where did you do your undergraduate study? Laura Bratton ** 25:11 So I did my undergrad at Arizona State, and I was going to say a large reason, but not just a large reason, pretty much the whole reason I chose ASU was for their disability resources. So a major focus that that they emphasize is their disability resources is not a separate part of the university, but it's completely integrated into the university. So what I mean by that example of that is being a psychology major. I still had all the same classes. I was still in all the same classes as all the other psychology students on campus. I just had the accommodations that I needed. So that would be double time all testing or note takers, if I needed note takers in a class. So they did an incredible job, like they had a whole Braille lab that would print Braille books and provide books in PDF format. So the accommodations that I needed as a person who was blind were integrated in to the whole college experience. So that was incredibly powerful for me as a person who had just become blind and didn't know what resources were available. Michael Hingson ** 26:37 Did you have any major challenges and major issues in terms of dealing with blindness and so on, while you're at ASU, Laura Bratton ** 26:44 not at all. I am so grateful for that, because I wasn't the only person on campus who was blind. I wasn't the first blind person. I certainly wasn't the last so because they had so much experience, it was, it was an incredible, again, empowerment for me, because on the emotional perspective, it taught me, and literally practically showed me, yes, I give me a person with a disability and be integrated into the world, because They they showed me the resources that were available. So I was deeply, deeply grateful for what they taught me. Now, where did you grow up? So I grew up in South Carolina, Michael Hingson ** 27:31 so that is and that's why I wanted to ask that, because we hadn't mentioned that you were from South Carolina before, but that was a major undertaking. Then to go all the way across country to go to ASU, yes. On the other hand, they do have a pretty good football team. Laura Bratton ** 27:49 Just say Right, right, right Michael Hingson ** 27:52 now, my I went to University California, Irvine. I don't even know. I'm sure they must have some sort of a football team today, but they do have a pretty good basketball team, and I haven't heard whether they won the Big West, but I haven't Yeah, but I haven't heard that they did. So I'm afraid that that they may not have until going to march madness. Yeah, but whatever, Laura Bratton ** 28:21 team for March Madness spell your bracket in a different way. Michael Hingson ** 28:25 Well, they've been in the big dance before they got to the Sweet 16 once, which was pretty cool. Wow, that's impressive. Yeah, that was pretty cool. That's so cool. What did your parents think of you going across country Laura Bratton ** 28:42 again? Just like you talked about your parents being that taking that leap, they were incredibly supportive, because they knew ASU would provide the resources that I needed. Because again, in those years as I'm losing a major part of my sight, we didn't know other people who are blind. We didn't know what resources were available. Obviously, my parents reach out to people around us, you know, to connect with people who are blind, to learn about that, but we didn't have a lot of experience with that. So what we knew, and what my parents were excited about was ASU would be a place that I can not only have that college experience, but be taught the resources. And one of the major resources was my disability coordinator, so my disability coordinator, who was in charge of of creating all my accommodations, she was also blind, and that was such a healing experience for me, because she became a mentor. She was blind since birth. She. And so obviously we had different experiences, where I was just newly blind. She had been blind, but still, she was an incredibly powerful resource and mentor of just telling me, teaching me, not just telling me through her words, but living through her actions, you still have a full life like you're you're still a few a full human like you. This life still goes on. So she just modeled that in the way that she lived. So she she was, I'm so grateful for her mentorship, because she was very real. She had minimized blindness. But also she told me and taught me and showed me there's still a full, great life ahead, Michael Hingson ** 30:53 which is really what all of us are trying to get the world to understand. Blindness isn't the end of the world. It's not the problem Laura Bratton ** 31:02 exactly, exactly, she literally modeled that, Michael Hingson ** 31:06 yeah, which was pretty cool. Well, then where did you go to get your Masters of divinity? Laura Bratton ** 31:11 So then I went to get my masters at Princeton Theological Seminary, and that was a completely different experience, because, where as you, was completely set up for people with disabilities in the master's program, they had not had someone come through their program who was blind. So in that experience, I had to advocate and be very, very clear on what my needs were, meaning what the accommodations were that I needed, and then advocate that to the administration, which that wasn't a gift, because ASU had given me the foundation of knowing what I needed, what the accommodations Were then available. And then Princeton gave me the opportunity to become my own advocate, to force me to speak up and say, These are my needs, and these are accommodations I have. With these accommodations, I can be an equal student, so I'm not asking, Hey, give me good grades because I'm blind, but make the accommodation so that I have my books and PDF so I have double time on the test. So that was just as healing and just as powerful, because it gave me the opportunity to advocate and become clear on my needs so that I could communicate those needs. So Michael Hingson ** 32:38 this is part of Princeton in New Jersey. Yes, so you were were in Jersey for a while, huh? Yes, Laura Bratton ** 32:45 I went from sunny weather to Michael Hingson ** 32:50 snowy weather. Well, you had some of that in South Carolina too, though, Laura Bratton ** 32:53 yes, true, but from undergrad, it was quite the change. Michael Hingson ** 32:58 Ah. But the real question is, when you were in New Jersey. Did you get to meet any members of the family? You know what I'm saying, the mob, Oh yes, absolutely being bada. Boom. Come on now, Laura Bratton ** 33:11 definitely, definitely, definitely, absolutely, absolutely, yeah, lot of local restaurants and Oh yes, Michael Hingson ** 33:21 oh yes. When we were building our home in New Jersey, my wife was in a wheelchair her whole life, and we decided that when we went to New Jersey, because I was going to be working in the city New York, we wanted to build a house, because it's cheaper to build an accessible home for somebody in a wheelchair. My wife then it is to buy a house and modify it so we wanted to build. And it turns out that the person who financed the building, we got a mortgage and all that without any difficulty, but we had to get somebody to build the house. And the realtors had people they worked with, the financier. Part of that was from a guy, well, let's just say his main business was, he was in the garbage business, and his last name was, was Pinto. So, you know, let's just say we know where he got his money. You know, Laura Bratton ** 34:18 yes, yes. I had several those experiences too. Yeah, the garbage business seems to be big in Jersey. It Michael Hingson ** 34:25 is big in Jersey, but, but, you know, but they were all, they were all very nice to us good. And so it really worked out well. It did. It all worked out. We had a wonderful home. The only difference between our house and the others around us is we had to include an elevator in the house, okay? Because we couldn't have a ranch style home. There wasn't room, and so we had to have and all the other homes in the development were two story homes, okay, but we had to have an elevator. So that was essentially about a $15,000 An uplift over what the House would have cost otherwise. But right again, you build it in so it's not that huge of a deal, Laura Bratton ** 35:06 right? That's perfect. So all your neighbors are jealous. Michael Hingson ** 35:10 Well, they didn't have the elevator. They didn't come and ride it much. So they didn't ask for their their their bigger challenges were, who's giving the biggest party at Christmas or Halloween? So we didn't participate in that, so we weren't we weren't a problem. 35:28 That's great, Michael Hingson ** 35:30 yeah, so you've talked about grit a couple times, so tell me about grit, because clearly that's important to you, Laura Bratton ** 35:39 yeah? So it's so important to me, because that was a main source of empowerment. So just as I talked about that negativity in the middle school high school, what grit helped me to do is take the overwhelming future that I was so fearful, I was extremely anxious as I looked at the whole picture everything ahead of me. So the grit came in and taught me. Grit is taking it day by day, moment by moment, step by step. So rather than looking at the whole picture and getting overwhelmed, the power of grit taught me all I need to do is trust myself for this next hour. All I need to do is trust in the support that my parents are giving me this next day. So breaking it down into manageable goals was the strength of the grit. So to break it down, rather than the whole future, Michael Hingson ** 36:49 I didn't ask, do you did you have any siblings? Do you have any siblings? Laura Bratton ** 36:53 Yeah, so I have one older brother. Okay, so Michael Hingson ** 36:57 how was he with you being that you were blind. Was he a good older protective brother who never let anybody near his sister? Laura Bratton ** 37:06 He was a good older protective brother in that he did exactly what my parents did in not having different expectations. Yeah, he so he's five years older. So when I'm 14, losing a significant amount of vision, or 15, losing a certain amount of division. He, you know, was 1920 doing great in college. So a perfect example of this connects with the grit he, he taught me, and again, not in word, not so much in words, but again, in those actions of we will figure this out. We don't know the resources that are available. We don't know exactly what the future looks like, but we as a family will figure this out. Me, as your older brother, our parents being our parents, we will figure it out day by day, step by step. And I remember a lot of people would ask my parents, what's her future, and then even ask my brother, what's her future? What's she gonna do? And they would honestly answer, we don't know, but as a family, we'll figure it out, and we'll provide the strength that she needs, and that's what I mean by the grit. So it wasn't, this is her future, and they just, you know, named it for being home with us, right? But it was, I don't know, but day by day, we'll have the grit to figure it out. So I'm glad you asked about my siblings, because that's a perfect example of how that grit came into play and was such a powerful source of strength. Michael Hingson ** 38:54 So what did you do after you got your master's degree? Laura Bratton ** 38:58 So after I got my master's degree, I then did a residency, just like I was talking about the chaplaincy. I did a residency specifically in chaplaincy to to complete that process of being a chaplain. So in that that was a year long process, and in that process, that was an incredible experience, because, again, it taught me, you are a complete human with gifts and talents. You just happen to be blind and need specific accommodations because of the blindness. So what I mean by that is, just as ASU gave me the resources regarding blindness, and just as Princeton gave me the gift to advocate for those resources, the experience in the chaplaincy taught me when I walked into a high. Hospital room and introduced myself as the chaplain on the unit. The patient didn't know, or didn't care how long I had been blind, or how did I make it on the unit? Or how did I know they wanted chaplain? They didn't care. They were just thankful and glad that I was there to serve them and be in that Chaplain role. So it was that's why it was empowering of healing to me, because it taught me not to focus so much on the blindness, but to view myself as that whole person, especially in that professional experience, so I can give endless examples of specifically how that, how, just the patient reaction taught me so much. Michael Hingson ** 40:49 Where did you do your chaplaincy? Laura Bratton ** 40:52 I did it at the Clinton clinic in Ohio. Oh, Michael Hingson ** 40:56 my goodness, you did move around. Now. What got you there? Speaking of snow in the winter, yeah, Laura Bratton ** 41:02 literally, I Yes, I can talk about that. And a lot of experiences there with snow, like effect snow is real. So they were very strong in their chaplaincy program and developing Kaplan's and also their Kaplan Z training was a focus that I wanted that holistic mind, body, spirit. It wasn't just spiritual or wasn't just psychological, it was the holistic experience of a whole person. So how wanting that to be my focus moving forward, that's where I chose to go to be able to focus on that. So again, it was such an incredible source of of healing through just through those patient interactions. Michael Hingson ** 41:58 Well, one of the things that is clear about you is you're not bitter about any of the things that have happened, and that, in reality, you are a person who appreciates and understands the concept of gratitude. Laura Bratton ** 42:11 Yes, yes. And specifically, let me go back to those high school days, and then I'll come back to the chaplain days, the way of the gratitude my focus started was not because I wanted gratitude, not because I chose to woke up, wake up one day and say, Oh, I'm so grateful for this blindness. But it all came through a mentor who said to me in those high school days, Laura, I want you to start writing down three things that you are grateful for each day and every day, I want you to write down three things that you're grateful for. So in my mind, my immediate reaction as a teenager, high schooler, was that's not good advice. I'm not sure you're a good mentor. I'm experiencing a major change in life, permanent life event. I don't know that there's a lot to be grateful for. So in my stubbornness, I said, Okay, I'm going to prove her wrong. So I started to think of the three things each day I was grateful for. And over the weeks that I did this, I then realized what she was teaching me, she was showing me. She wasn't asking me to be grateful for the blindness. She was asking me to recognize the gifts that the support that I had within the blindness. So, for example, the supportive parents, the older brother, who didn't make accommodations, or I mean, did make accommodations. Didn't lower expectations because of the blindness. So fast forward to the chaplaincy. I was incredibly grateful for all those patient experiences, because, again, it taught me to view myself as the whole person, not so hyper focused on the blindness. So one specific example that sticks out and was so clear to me is one day I had a patient request that one to see a chaplain, and I went in to this specific unit, and the so I walked in, my walked into the room, the patient took a look at my guide dog and me, and said, You're blind, like completely with this question or voice. And my thought was, well, I think so. I mean, that was this morning when I woke up, and so I said, Yes. And she said, Okay, then I'll, I'll share honestly with you how I'm doing and what I had learned, what I learned after my visit with her is she would not open up to the doctors, the nurses, the social workers, anyone who walked in the room. When I walked in the room and she didn't feel like she was being judged on her physical appearance, she was willing to open up and honestly share how she was feeling emotionally with her physical diagnosis. So that led that one conversation led to multiple visits where she could move forward in her healing emotionally because she was willing to open up and share and be honest with me as the chaplain. So that was an incredible situation of gratitude, because it taught me, yes, this is hard, yes, this is stressful. Yes, there are moments of being overwhelmed, and also their deep, deep moments that I am incredibly grateful for, that other people who are side sighted don't have that opportunity. Michael Hingson ** 46:36 One of the things that I talk about and think about as life goes on, is we've talked about all the accommodations and the things that you needed to get in order to be able to function. What we and most everyone, takes for granted is it's the same for sighted people. You know, we invented the electric light bulb for sighted people. We invented windows so they can look out. Yes, we invent so many things, and we provide them so that sighted people can function right. And that's why I say, in large part, blindness isn't the problem, because the reality is, we can make accommodations. We can create and do create alternatives to what people who can see right choose, and that's important for, I think, everyone to learn. So what did you do after your year of chaplaincy? Laura Bratton ** 47:39 So after my year of chaplaincy, after that incredible experience of just offering the patient care, I completed the part of the well after assorted in the master's program. But then after that, also completed my ordination in the Methodist Church. So I was appointed. I went to the process the ordination process, and then I was appointed to a local church back here in South Carolina. And again, with my focus on chaplaincy, my focus on patient care, I was appointed to that church for because what they needed most in the pastor the leader, was that emphasis on the pastoral care the mind, body, spirit connection. So as I became pastor, I was able to continue that role of what I was doing in the Kaplan see, of using both my professional experience as well as my personal experience of providing spiritual care to the members. So that was an incredible way. And again, that gratitude, it just I was so grateful that I could use those gifts of pastoral care, of chaplaincy to benefit others, to be a strength to others. Again, is that that whole person that that we Michael Hingson ** 49:13 are now? Are you still doing that today? Or what are you doing Laura Bratton ** 49:16 now? So I'm still I'm still there part time, okay, Michael Hingson ** 49:21 and when you're not there, what are you doing? Laura Bratton ** 49:23 I'm doing professional speaking, and it's all centered around my passion for that again, came when I was at Princeton, when I was doing the focus on chaplaincy, I became so passionate about the speaking to share my personal experience of the change I experienced, and also to empower others as they experience change, so not to be stuck in that. Negativity like we talked about in those middle school, high school days, but rather that everybody, regardless of the situation, could experience change, acknowledge it, and move forward with that balance of grit and gratitude. So that's my deep passion for and the reason for the speaking is to share that grit gratitude, as we all experience change. Michael Hingson ** 50:26 So what made you decide to begin to do public speaking that what? What was the sort of the moment or the the inspiration that brought that about, Laura Bratton ** 50:40 just that deep desire to share the resource that I'd experienced. So as I received so much support from family and community, is I had received that support of learning how to use the grit in the change, and then as I received the sport support of how to use the gratitude in the change, the reason for this, speaking and what made me so passionate, was to be able to empower others to also use this resource. So I didn't just want to say, okay, it worked for me, and so I'll just keep this to myself, but rather to use that as a source and empowerment and say, Hey, this has been really, really difficult, and here's how I can use the difficulty to empower others to support others. Michael Hingson ** 51:31 So how's that working for you? Laura Bratton ** 51:34 Great. I love, love, love supporting others as they go through that change. Because again, it comes back to the blindness. Is not not all we focus on, it's not all we think about, it's not all we talk about, it's not all we do, but being able to use that as a shrink to empower others. So just speaking to different organizations as they're going through change, and working with them speaking on that. How can they specifically apply the grit, the gratitude? How does that? What does that look like, practically, in their organization, in their situation? So I love it, because it takes the most difficult thing that I've been through, and turns it around to empower others. Michael Hingson ** 52:24 What do you think about the concept that so many people talk about regarding public speaking, that, Oh, I couldn't be a public speaker. I don't want to be up in front of people. I'm afraid of it, and it's one of the top fears that we constantly hear people in society have that is being a public speaker. What do you think about that? Laura Bratton ** 52:47 So two, two perspectives have helped me to process that fault, because you're right. People literally say that to me every day. How do you do that? I could never do that. I hear that every single day, all day, and what I've learned is when I focus on, yes, maybe it is the large audience, but focusing on I'm speaking to each person individually, and I'm speaking. I'm not just speaking to them, but I was speaking to serve them, to help again, that empowerment, to provide empowerment. So what I think about that is I don't focus on, oh my gosh. What are they going to think of me? I'm scared up here. Rather to have that mindset of, I'm here to share my life experiences so that they can be served and empowered to continue forward. So just shifting the mindset from fear to support fear to strength, that's that's how I view that concept of I could never do that, or that's my worst fear. Michael Hingson ** 54:01 So a lot of people would say it takes a lot of courage to do what you do, what? How do you define courageous or being courageous? Laura Bratton ** 54:08 Great question. That's a working, work in progress. So far, what I've learned over the years and again, this is a process. Not there wasn't just one moment where I said, Okay, now I'm courageous, and I'm courageous forever, or this is the moment that made me courageous, but how I understand it and how I process it now is for me and my experience courage is accepting and acknowledging the reality and then choosing to move forward with the grit, choosing to move forward with the gratitude. So holding both intention, both can be true, both I can acknowledge. Okay, this is difficult. Cult, and also I can also believe and know. I can have the grit moment by moment by moment. I can have the gratitude moment by moment by moment. So for me, courage is holding both intention the reality and what I mean by both is the reality of the blindness and reality of the frustration of people's faults, judgments. You know all that you can't do this. How can you do that without sight holding all of that at the same time as I have the support I need to move forward? So for me, Courage looks like acknowledging why I'm overwhelmed and then choosing at that same time to move forward with the support that I have. Mm, hmm. So again, that's what I mean by it's not just like one moment that, oh yeah, I'm gonna be courageous now forever, there's certainly a moment so I don't feel courageous, and that's okay. That's part of garbage. Just acknowledging that frustration and also choosing to move forward. So it's doing both it at the same time. Michael Hingson ** 56:10 We live in a world today where there is a lot of change going on, yes, and some for the good, some not for the good, and and all sorts of things. Actually, I was reading an article this morning about Michael Connolly, the mystery writer who, for four decades, has written mystery books. He's lived in Los Angeles. He had a wonderful house, and everything changed when the fires hit and he lost his home and all that. But he continues to to move forward. But what advice would you give? What kinds of things do you say to people who are undergoing change or experiencing change? Laura Bratton ** 56:52 I'm so glad you asked that, because I I didn't mention this in the grit so much of the grit that I experienced. So the advice I would give, or practically, what I do with someone that just what I did right before our we connected, was being being that grit for someone going through change. So in that, for example, in that speaking when I'm speaking to a group about the change they're experiencing, acknowledging, for them to acknowledge, let me be your grit. You might be overwhelmed. You might be incredibly fearful and overwhelmed by the future, by the task in front of you. So let me be the example of grit to to show you that there is support, there is courage, there is that foundation to be able to move forward. So that's my first advice, is just allowing others to be your grit when you don't feel like you had it, because, again, in those high school days and and even now days when I don't feel like I have any grit, any courage, and yet, I'll lean on the courage, the strength, the grit, of those around me so once they acknowledge and allow me to be their grit, and they their support through that change, then allowing them to slowly have that grit for themselves, and again reminding them, it's not an instant process. It's not an instant do these three steps and you'll have grit forever. But it's a continual process of grit and gratitude that leads us through the change, through the difficulty. Michael Hingson ** 58:46 Have you used the technique that that person that you talked about earlier in high school used when she asked you to write down every day three things that you were grateful for? Laura Bratton ** 58:56 Yes, absolutely, and the the funny part of that, what that makes me laugh is a lot of people have the exact same reaction I had when I present it to them. They immediately say, I'm not going to do that. That's no Why would I do that? They immediately think that is a horrible piece of advice. And how can I recommend? And I just, I don't say, Oh, well, just try it anyway. I just say, Well, okay, just try it and see. Just, just prove me wrong. And just like my experience, they try it and then a week or two days like, oh, that actually worked. I didn't think that would so, yeah, I'm so glad you said that, because that happens a lot. People said that is that doesn't make sense. Why are you telling me to be grateful in the midst of this overwhelming situation? So yes, great, great perspective that happens all the time. Michael Hingson ** 59:55 Well, we've been doing this now for about an hour, but before we wrap up, do you. Have any other advice that you want to pass on for people who are dealing with change or fearing change in their lives right now, Laura Bratton ** 1:00:08 the advice would be, take it step by step, moment by moment, rather than trying to navigate through the whole change at one time that's overwhelming, and that that's not the process that is most healing. So to trust in yourself, to trust that grit around you, and then just like, like you were saying, and ask me, and it doesn't seem like it'll work, but try the gratitude, try that three things every day you're grateful for, and just see what happens as you navigate through the change. Yeah. Michael Hingson ** 1:00:52 And it really does work, which is the point? Laura Bratton ** 1:00:54 Which is the point? Right? Right? We don't think it's going to but it, it totally does Michael Hingson ** 1:00:59 well. Laura, I want to thank you for being with us. This has been absolutely wonderful and fun, and I hope that people who listen got and who watch it got a lot out of it. And you, you provided a lot of good expectation setting for people. And you, you've certainly lived a full life. We didn't mention we got us before you we we sign off. You're also an author, Laura Bratton ** 1:01:24 yes. So I wrote harnessing courage again, just like the reason I speak, I was so passionate about taking the grit and the gratitude that I use that was such a source of Empower for me, I wanted to tell my story and tell it through the perspective of grit and gratitude so that other people could also use it as a resource. So the book tells my story of becoming blind and adapting and moving forward, but through the complete expected perspective of the gratitude, how I didn't believe the gratitude would work, how I struggled with thinking, Oh, the gratitude is ridiculous. That's never going to be source of empowerment. Yet it was so. The purpose of the book, my hope, my goal for the book, is that people can read it and take away those resources as they face their own change their own challenges. Michael Hingson ** 1:02:30 And when did you write it? So I wrote Laura Bratton ** 1:02:33 it in it was published in 2016 Okay, so it that that definitely was, was my goal and passion, and that just writing the book was incredibly healing. Was like a great source of strength. Cool, Michael Hingson ** 1:02:50 well, I hope people will get it. Do you do any coaching today or Laura Bratton ** 1:02:54 Yes, so I do coaching as well as the speaking so the the one on one coaching, as people are experiencing difficult, difficult or just navigating through change, I do the one on one coaching as well as the speaking, Michael Hingson ** 1:03:11 which is certainly a good thing that chaplaincy taught you. Yes, 100% Well, thank you again for being here, and I want to thank all of you for being with us today, wherever you are. We would appreciate it. I would definitely appreciate it.

Nuno Duarte passou de desconhecido do público leitor a vencedor do Prémio LeYa. Em 2024, foi o escolhido pelo júri com o seu primeiro livro, “Pés de Barro”, em que ficciona a construção da Ponte sobre o Tejo - hoje Ponte 25 de Abril -, a partir de um pátio em Alcântara, onde vive Victor, que vem trabalhar na ponte, e Dália, a muda que cheira a chocolate.A que chegou a ser Ponte Salazar era, para o escritor, o “símbolo máximo do Estado Novo”. E, nesta entrevista a Magda Cruz, deixa um ponto assente: não podia escrever um livro passado durante o Estado Novo que não batesse no regime. Nuno Duarte nasceu anos antes da Revolução dos Cravos, detesta a ditadura e sublinha que é um tempo a que não quer voltar, apesar de sentir algum saudosismo, nos dias de hoje, vindo de algumas pessoas.Neste episódio do “Ponto Final, Parágrafo”, Nuno Duarte reflete sobre a importância do Prémio LeYa, sobre se tornar escritor e sobre como não sente pressão do mercado editorial para escrever um novo romance. Aliás, já escrevia o segundo livro quando nem sabia da atribuição do prémio, e ideias para três ou quatro livros não lhe faltam, garante.Considera apoiar o podcast no Patreon: patreon.com/pontofinalparagrafoContacto do podcast: pontofinalparagrafo.fm@gmail.comSegue o Ponto Final, Parágrafo nas redes sociais: Instagram, Twitter e FacebookProdução, apresentação e edição: Magda CruzGenérico: Nuno ViegasLogótipo: Gonçalo Pinto com fotografia de João Pedro Morais
Manuel Pinto, comenta la actualidad de los mercados. El Mercado español comenzó fuerte el año, el Ibex-35 ha subido un 20% en los últimos dos meses ¿Hay ganas por el riesgo? Manuel Pinto comenta de cara al segundo semestre del año, que “los datos macroeconómicos van a empeorar”. Además, sobre la guerra arancelaria, comenta que “la Unión Europea podría ser de los últimos que lleguen a la mesa de negociación y los últimos que lleguen van a tener peores condiciones”. En este contexto, Pinto opina que “esto va a repercutir en el crecimiento económico, por lo tanto, el BCE tendrá que recortar los tipos por debajo del rango neutral”.
1187. Hoy quiero compartir una formación que, si estás en Madrid este verano, puede ser la excusa perfecta para salir del cuarto y lanzarte al podcasting en serio. O mejor dicho, “más allá del podcast en tu habitación”, que es precisamente el título del curso intensivo del que te hablo en este episodio. Este taller lo organiza la Unión de Radios Libres y Comunitarias de Madrid junto a las emisoras Radio Enlace y Radio XATA Pinto, y cuenta con el apoyo de la Consejería de Familia, Juventud y Asuntos Sociales de la Comunidad de Madrid. Pero más allá de los nombres, lo interesante es lo que propone: 30 horas repartidas en 8 sesiones presenciales, con contenidos tanto teóricos como prácticos, que van desde el lenguaje radiofónico hasta la edición de sonido, pasando por la locución, el guión o el manejo de mesa. La primera edición ya se celebró entre mayo y junio en Pinto, y ahora llega la segunda vuelta, del 25 de junio al 4 de julio, esta vez en el barrio de Hortaleza, en la sede de Radio Enlace. Las clases serán por las mañanas, de 10 a 13:45, así que si te cuadra el horario, creo que es una propuesta muy potente para formarte, practicar y entender cómo funciona la radio comunitaria desde dentro. Y es que la radio social, al igual que el podcasting, puede ser mucho más que una alternativa de ocio. Puede abrir puertas, generar oportunidades, conectar a personas y fomentar la participación en el entorno. Lo que me gusta de este curso es que no solo se centra en aspectos técnicos —que también, y muy necesarios— sino que pone en valor ese lado comunitario que a veces dejamos de lado cuando nos metemos en nuestro rincón a grabar en solitario. Este tipo de formaciones, además, ayudan a resolver muchas de las barreras con las que se encuentra la gente joven que arranca proyectos sonoros: la falta de resultados inmediatos, la sensación de aislamiento, las dificultades técnicas o de difusión… Aquí no solo se aprende a grabar, también se entiende el contexto y se comparten experiencias con otras personas que están en el mismo punto de partida o más adelante en el camino.

What if your "good" childhood still left emotional scars that impact your parenting? Emotional intelligence parenting requires us to confront our own histories, even when they seem picture-perfect on the surface. In today's episode, I speak with Stephanie Pinto, author of "From Chaos to Connection," who shares her remarkable story of how her body literally shut down through fainting episodes because she couldn't process certain emotions.We'll discuss how well-meaning parents can unintentionally create emotional voids by teaching children to suppress "unacceptable" feelings. Stephanie will explain how naming emotions gives children crucial language for their inner experiences and demonstrates what true co-regulation looks like with concrete examples from her own family. You'll hear about emotion wheels, the polyvagal theory, and simple techniques to help children express big feelings safely. Most touchingly, Stephanie reveals how her personal struggles became her greatest strength as a parent. So if you've ever felt overwhelmed by your child's emotions or wondered why certain situations trigger extreme reactions in yourself, this conversation offers hope and steps forward.Topics covered on Emotional Intelligence Parenting:What is emotional intelligence parenting?How can trauma exist even in what we consider "good" childhoods?What happens in our bodies when we don't process emotions properly?Why is naming our emotions such a powerful tool for both adults and children?How can parents stay present with a child's big emotions without shutting them down?What does co-regulation look like in practice with an overwhelmed child?Why might our bodies "take us out" when emotions become too overwhelming?How can we turn our own struggles with emotional regulation into strengths as parents?Connect with me on Instagram @dr.koslowitzpsychology and don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel Post Traumatic Parenting.For full show notes and more resources visit www.drrobynkoslowitz.com/2025/06/10/emotional-intell…-stephanie-pinto

La caló. El calor. El sofocante calor que nos está haciendo, que es que no es ni medio normal. Así que, hoy va de helados. De esos que nos ayudan a sobrellevar estos días de sudaera gorda.¿Se acuerdan del Drácula? ¿Que te dejaba los labios negros y la lengua roja? ¿Del Frigodedo? ¿De su hermano el Frigopie? ¿Del Twister, que era de colores? ¿Del Calippo, que aún hoy sigue siendo el favorito de los chiquillos? Pues detrás de todos ellos está Joan Vinallonga, un artesano heladero barcelonés que ha participado durante 45 años en el desarrollo de muchos de esos helados legendarios. Y le ha contado a “Gominolas de Petróleo”, el que más guerra le dio para sacar al mercado, el más difícil de hacer: el bombón helado.Vinallonga tenía prohibido introducir a cualquier persona externa en su fábrica de helados para la que trabajaba.

Em 2019, Hugo publicava o livro “Filho da Mãe”, que foi finalista dos prémios P.E.N. Clube e Fernando Namora. Agora, este ano, chega-nos “Filho do Pai”. Neste episódio do podcast “Ponto Final, Parágrafo”, o escritor e guionista explica como é que os dois livros se interligam, mantendo a independência. Este díptico retrata a perda da mãe de Hugo, aos oito anos, e a do pai, quando tinha 45 anos e, como nós, ultrapassava os tempos de pandemia.Em entrevista à jornalista Magda Cruz, o autor detalha a técnica incutida no novo livro ,“Filho do Pai”, explora a intenção do escritor quando revela um detalhe mas oculta outros, por exemplo, de como foi a última conversa que teve com o pai, José Capote Gonçalves.Na reta final de uma conversa em que se fala muito de pilosidades faciais, descobrimos o tema do livro em que Hugo Gonçalves está a trabalhar, e que espera publicar no final do próximo ano.Considera apoiar o podcast no Patreon: patreon.com/pontofinalparagrafoContacto do podcast: pontofinalparagrafo.fm@gmail.comSegue o Ponto Final, Parágrafo nas redes sociais: Instagram, Twitter e FacebookProdução, apresentação e edição: Magda CruzGenérico: Nuno ViegasLogótipo: Gonçalo Pinto com fotografia de João Pedro Morais
In Maraña: War and Disease in the Jungles of Colombia (University of Chicago Press, 2025), Lina Pinto-García delves into the relationship between war and disease, focusing on Colombian armed conflict and the skin disease known as cutaneous leishmaniasis. Leishmaniasis is transmitted through the bite of female sandflies. The most common manifestation, cutaneous leishmaniasis, is neither deadly nor contagious: it affects the skin by producing lesions of varying size and shape. In Colombia, the insect vector of the disease is native to the same forested environments that have served as the main stage for one of the longest and most violent civil wars in Latin American history. As a result, the populations most affected by leishmaniasis in Colombia are members of the state army and non-state armed groups. Pinto-García explores how leishmaniasis and the armed conflict are inextricably connected and mutually reinforcing. Her title, Maraña, means "tangle" in Spanish but is also commonly used in Colombia to name the entangled greenery, braided lianas, and dense foliage that characterize the tropical forests where leishmaniasis typically occurs. Pinto-García argues that leishmaniasis and the war are not merely linked, but enmarañadas to each other through narratives, technologies, and practices produced by the state, medicine, biomedical research, and the armed conflict itself. She also uses the concept of desenmarañados (disentangled) to discuss how other attachments between leishmaniasis and society could be formed through different scientific programs, technological designs, healthcare practices, regulations, and social and cultural processes capable of challenging violence, suffering, and inequality. All told, Maraña is a passionate study of how war has shaped the production of scientific knowledge about leishmaniasis and access to its treatments in Colombia. This episode is hosted by Elena Sobrino, a lecturer in the Science and Technology Studies Program at Tufts University. Her research explores volunteer work, union histories, and environmentalism in the Flint water crisis. She is currently writing about the politics of fatigue and crisis, and teaching courses on science and technology studies, ethnographies of crisis, and global racisms.
