Targeted violence, domestic terrorism and international terrorism are changing. In the past, America has been the victim of large scale coordinated attacks. Today, acts of mass violence are as simple as cars, fireworks and household items. On April 15, 2013 two terrorists blew up homemade bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Three innocent people were killed. Hundreds were injured. Boston Police Chief Daniel Linskey immediately found himself in charge of a mass casualty event and a multijurisdictional manhunt through the streets of Boston. Chief Linskey joined Fran Racioppi to share how he overcame fear, panic and the realization that in an instant the entire city was looking to him for guidance and direction. He shares how preparation and training between law enforcement and first responders in the years leading up to the attack was critical in their response. And he explains why in emergency response, there's no place for egos or credit, just action and results. Join our conversation from the shores of Plymouth Harbor.

The health of our military service members and our Veterans is always a top line issue. Many suffer from illness and injury as a result of their service; and most are believed to be at higher risk for chronic sickness. Some of which is fortunately preventable. Cancer is a top concern for much of the military community. To dig into the increased risk cancer poses to our Veterans, Fran Racioppi sat down with Team Maureen; an organization focused on bringing attention and prevention of HPV and HPV-related cancers to our Veterans. Daniel Linskey, Kelly Welch and Dr. Emily Penick lead Team Maureen and founded the organization after the loss of their family and friend Maureen Russo. Worldwide, a woman dies of cervical cancer every two minutes. It is the second-most frequent cancer in the world. The military community is twice as likely to develop HPV, yet immunization rates among our servicemembers are 50% of the civilian community. 90% of HPV-related cancers are preventable through immunization.We broke down the facts of HPV, why it's rising exponentially in our military, how it's affecting both our women and men service-members, and what every single person, military and civilian, can do to prevent one of the deadliest, and preventable, cancers in society today.Check out our conversation over-looking Plymouth Harbor and with Cardinals in the air.

A crewless robotic boat retracing the 1620 sea voyage of the Mayflower has landed near Plymouth Rock. The sleek Mayflower Autonomous Ship met with an escort boat as it approached the Massachusetts shoreline on June 30, more than 400 years after its namesake's historic journey from England. It was towed into Plymouth Harbor — per U.S. Coast Guard rules for crewless vessels — and docked near a replica of the original Mayflower that brought the Pilgrims to America. Piloted by artificial intelligence technology, the 50-foot (15-meter) trimaran didn't have a captain, navigator or any humans on board. The solar-powered ship's first attempt to cross the Atlantic in 2021 was beset with technical problems, forcing it back to its home port of Plymouth, England — the same place the Pilgrim settlers sailed from in 1620. It set off from the southwest English coast again in April but mechanical difficulties diverted it to Portugal's Azores islands and then to Canada. “When you don't have anybody on board, you obviously can't do the mechanical, physical fixes that are needed,” said Rob High, a software executive at IBM helping to work on the project. “That's also part of the learning process.” On July 4, it departed Halifax, Nova Scotia for a successful 4-day journey to Plymouth Harbor. Nonprofit marine research organization ProMare worked with IBM to build the ship and has been using it to collect data about whales, microplastic pollution and other scientific research. Small autonomous experimental vessels have crossed the Atlantic before but researchers describe it as the first ship of its size to do so. The voyage's completion “means we can start analyzing data from the ship's journey” and dig into the AI system's performance, High said. He said the prospect of such crewless vessels navigating the seas on a continuous basis will make it easier to collect “all the kinds of things that marine scientists care about."

I let the 100th episode slip by with little fanfare and opted to celebrate our 101st episode instead. We recorded this on Father's Day and today is Bill Johnston's birthday. What's the connection? Well, he's my dad. He's one of the most productive people I know, even in retirement. Bill will be quick to let you know that he had a corporate secretary that oversaw his work life. And a wife who held down the entire home front. We talk about why having a support team is mission critical to productivity. No surprise – we discuss the financial markets and the current economy at length. Bill and I reminisce with some fun stories about the NYSE trading floor back in the day. We wrap up with the many lessons my dad taught me from the importance of education to integrity and the honor system. About Bill Johnston was president and chief operating officer of the New York Stock Exchange from 1996 to 2001. Now retired, he is the President of the Resident's Association at Plymouth Harbor and sits on the corporate board as well. He also serves on the boards of the Sarasota Institute, a 21st C think tank, and the Boxser Diversity Initiative. He is a graduate of Washington and Lee University, where he has remained active and is an emeritus trustee. He also served on the board of Hollins University in Virginia and was chair of both New College of Florida and Visible Men Academy in East Bradenton. Married for nearly 59 years, Bill has 2 children and 2 granddaughters.

Before New England was New England, it was the Dawnland. A region that remains the homeland of numerous Native American peoples, including the Wampanoag. When the English colonists arrived at Patuxet 400 years ago, they arrived at a confusing time. The World of the Wampanoag people had changed in the wake of a destabilizing epidemic. This episode is part of a two-episode series about the World of the Wampanoag. In Episode 290, we investigated the life, cultures, and trade of the Wampanoag and their neighbors, the Narragansett, up to December 16, 1620, the day the Mayflower made its way into Plymouth Harbor. In this episode, our focus will be on the World of the Wampanoag in 1620 and beyond. Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/291 Join Ben Franklin's World!

Good Tuesday morning from WGBH Radio’s Morning Edition team. Tuesday has arrived and Joe Mathieu and the team are here to greet it with you. It’s going to be yet another hot one out there today, as air conditioning window units struggle to keep up with the heat. The Mayflower (II) has returned to Plymouth Harbor after a major restorative overhaul, but the fact that it traveled via tugboat power has us slightly amused. Tough times for the restaurant business continue as the state may further crack down on gathering size. This prompted us to think about what it’d be like to stand in a crowd again, and whether we’ll ever return to it moving forward. Have a great Tuesday, and thanks for waking up with WGBH Radio.

Sixty years ago, the Mayflower II arrived in Plymouth Harbor after a 55-day sea voyage. She was greeted by a crowd of tens of thousands of spectators. One spectator was Linda Cabot Black who saw the ship first in Provincetown then drove all the way to Plymouth to see her again. In this special soundbite from Interwoven, Ms. Black shares her Mayflower Memories with Plimoth Plantation staff.
Poutrincourt was driven to make sure his little trading post at Port Royal would continue to flourish. Champlain was still on the look-out for that perfect location to start his new colony. He would explore again Nauset Harbor, Cape Cod Bay and a little bit beyond. His crew paid a visit to many Indians, noting their customs and living conditions, not all were friendly. Lescarbot was, may I say, along for the ride to inspire his writings. Is that Plymouth Harbor over there? Yes but, not the spot I was looking for
