Richard was born in Canada to Dutch parents. When he was 10, Richard's parents joined a Group called "The Move" and relocated their family to a commune in British Columbia in 1972. It turned out that The Move was a cult, led by Sam Fife, which at one time had over 40,000 members.

Deep, rhythmic sounds… rumbling through space and time are the hallmark of Spanish producer Absis, and his productions that range from Ambient, to Techno and beyond. The talents are ever so showcased with every release, and DJ mix that he publishes. Ever so smooth, and refined, a musical journey that is expertly crafted with restraint and gravitas. Unsurprisingly we look to Joachim Spieths' Affin label as his latest foray would be the second released on the German label. Silent Voices, the title track starts off with heavy, thudding kicks as dark pads swirl mysteriously around, setting the tone for the duration of the track. Accompanying the percussive elements are disembodied, wispy voices that beg for attention yet give no heed to their inner meanings. Overall there is a feeling of growing anticipation. That change in the night from the blissful beginnings to those of an energetic night ahead, with each kick bringing you closer to the crescendo ahead. Silent Voices, and in turn the rest of the release will be out on Affin, the 5th of July. @absismusic @affin www.instagram.com/absis_music/ www.instagram.com/affinltd/ Follow us on social media: @itsdelayed linktr.ee/delayed www.itsdelayed.com www.facebook.com/itsdelayed www.instagram.com/_____delayed/ www.youtube.com/@_____delayed

Years ago, Dr. Robert Okin took to San Francisco's streets with a camera and a request: to take portraits and speak with mentally ill homeless people. The former head of psychiatry at San Francisco General Hospital published their stories and photos in a book, “Silent Voices,” whose second edition was released this year. Okin joins host Laura Wenus to share what he learned, what he makes of the state's new CARE Court, and why he thinks the systems meant to stabilize this population often fail them instead. | Unlimited Chronicle access: sfchronicle.com/pod Got a tip, comment, question?

With Homelessness in NYC being such a pervasive issue today's guest, former Commissioner of Mental Health Dr. Robert Okin covers the two years he spent on the street meeting and photographing homeless individuals with mental illness to find answers to many questions such as: How do they end up on the street? How do they survive the stress and privations of such a life? What combination of biological vulnerabilities, childhood traumas, drugs, mental disorders, and financial devastation brought them down? And how do some manage, against all odds, to climb out of this desperate situation? He masterfully brings these people to life through stories and images that are intimate and gritty.

Our guest today is Jean Sachs, Chief Executive Officer of Living Beyond Breast Cancer, who's overseen and grown the impact of LBBC for nearly three decades. She joined LBBC in 1996 as its first Executive Director and was named CEO in 2008. During that time, LBBC has become a national force in breast cancer patient support and action. Jean's focus on inclusivity, whether by race, age, geographic location, gender, has meant that LBBC is among the most welcoming patient-focused nonprofit organizations in the United States.And for people living with metastatic breast cancer, LBBC has become synonymous with that most-important quality: Community. That's because LBBC's annual Conference on Metastatic Breast Cancer is one of the largest, if not the largest, gatherings for women and men living with MBC. This year's attendance expectations are for 500 in-person and 1500 virtual! The conference began in 2006 and this year LBBC breaks the rules again by making the conference fully hybrid, with one full day of only virtual workshops and gatherings, followed by a weekend of simultaneous fully virtual and in-person conversations, lectures, exhibitor booths, and opportunities to connect both online and in-person.Happening from April 26 to the 30th, LBBC's annual conference on metastatic breast cancer brings in experts like Nancy Lin, Don Dizon, Kelly Grosklags, Kimberly Curseen, and more. But, as Jean herself shares, the connections formed in virtual chat rooms and in-person are also part of its history. The LBBC MBC Conference is the birthplace of MetUp, the site of Hear My Voice advocacy training (alums include Julia Maues, Janice Cowden, and Terlisa Sheppard), and where lasting connections that shape how we talk about MBC are formed.We are so delighted to have Jean with us to talk about Living Beyond Breast Cancer and this year's conference.Sprinkled throughout the episode are the voices of our patient advocate friends Stephanie Walker, Terlisa Sheppard, and Kate Pfitzer.Look for more information about  LBBC hereTo register for the 2023 LBBC MBC Conference click hereMore info about the show and past episodes is available on our website: www.ourmbclife.orgGot something to share?

From being kidnapped in Mexico for his human rights work, to advising the largest organizations across the world and allying with the Union of Indigenous Yagé Medics of the Colombian Amazon and advocating for indigenous movements, Ricardo Vitale has had an extraordinary path. As a self-defined 'liberation anthropologist', based in Colombia. He earned a PhD from Cambridge University with a thesis about the Zapatista movement in Chiapas, Mexico.  His expertise covers human rights, anthropology in armed conflict, social movements, indigenous politics, gender relations within social movements, sustainable development, resilience, climate change adaptations and indigenous practices of yagé medicine, spirituality, and resistance. He is a former adviser of a plethora of international humanitarian and development bodies such as: Oxfam America, the UNHCR, the Norwegian Refugee Council, ICG and GIZ, amongst others. Since 2016 Riccardo works as a full-time adviser for the Union of Indigenous Yagé Medics of the Colombian Amazon (UMIYAC).  His tasks within UMIYAC range from fundraising to advocacy, to capacity strengthening, and non-extractive (“the-other-way-around”) anthropological research, aimed at “reinforcing indigenous communities, rather than taking from them”. In this episode, we expand the conversation around plant medicine conservation and include the context of the symbiotic relationship between people, sacred territories, land, community, culture, and that there are people that are facing extinction who also hold knowledge. And when those cultures go extinct. Loss of knowledge is embedded in that. Part of supporting plant medicine conservation is supporting biocultural diversity. Not because we want to ensure that we can replant what we need to consume to ensure our future needs are met. But because we actually want to live in a world where indigenous peoples can be living on the land that is their birthright.

Managing the damaged relations between Russia and the West have escalated new heights, due to the Ukraine invasion of February 24. The ongoing Ukraine conflict is invariably portrayed by Western powers and the political media establishment, as one of Russia being the sole aggressor. Deteriorating ties are also blamed on the authoritarian policies pursued by President Vladimir Putin. However, the West has played a significant role in eroding this relationship, ever since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 by ignoring Russian policy concerns and attempting to take advantage of Russian weakness during that critical period. Recent action by western powers, aimed at targeting Russia through economic sanctions, have not only created major problems for itself, such as a looming energy crisis but have made any diplomatic solution, to the ongoing military tragedy in Ukraine increasingly unlikely. This episode lifts the lid on the origins of the current Ukraine conflict by first visiting the source of the problem, the end of the Cold War; But also provides a detailed context behind the escalation of hostilities between Russia and the US. This critical juncture during 1989-1990 marked, not only the transformation of a new international system, but also the genesis of the Ukraine war. An important aspect of US policy towards Russia, in the years following the collapse of the Soviet Union, was its tacit aim to contain the new Russia and ensure it could not successfully re-impose its influence across Eastern Europe. This was primarily carried out through the eastern expansion policy of both NATO and the EU, with its desired aim of edging closer towards legitimate spheres of Russian influence. Initially, Moscow tolerated this process by focusing its efforts on gaining political acceptance by the West and integrating into its economic institutions but this policy eventually faced rebuttal, due to the emergence of Vladimir Putin at the turn of the century. Ultimately the US—Russia relationship is defined by a fundamental dilemma of security interests. To expand on this point, I introduce the viewpoints of two eminent scholars on Russia studies and international relations, who both argue that most of the blame for the Ukraine conflict, lies with the US and its European allies, citing Washington's policy of unilateralism, after the end of the Cold War and also its wholesale disregard of Russian national interests. I explain how the eastern expansion of NATO began, and the political rationale used to justify it, using Professor John Mearsheimer's theory of “offensive realism.” Also how, the Ukraine crisis was eventually kindled, using Mearsheimer's argument of the “West's triple approach” namely, NATO enlargement, EU expansion and Democracy promotion. In the final section, I provide an assessment of the internal vulnerabilities and geo-political perspectives which shape the dynamics of great powers, thus helping to explain the current Ukraine conflict.

In this episode of Out of the Archives, "Silent Voices Among Us: Stories from Chicago's Henry Horner Homes," which named after our online exhibition of the same name, we share stories from residents of the Henry Horner Homes, known to many of its residents as the Hornets. The stories range from different experiences from the early years of the Henry Horner Homes to moving out during their demolition. A special thanks to the storytellers from this episode, including Crystal Palmer, Marina Pullom, Patricia Smith, John Pettiford, Sharon Leggitt, and Maria Moon. We'd also like to thank the members of the Museum's Oral History Corps and other oral historians who recorded these stories including Francesco De Salvatore, Raymond McDonald, and Maria Moon. The Henry Horner Homes were constructed between 1957 and 1959 and contained 920 units. Thousands of residents lived in the Henry Horner Homes between 1957 and 1995 when demolition began. The demolition ran in phases beginning in 1995 until 2008, which made way for the Westhaven mixed-income community, which was established in 1997. The stories in this episode span from 1962 to 2013.

Operating under the direction of Horizon Christian Fellowship, a non-denominational church, Silent Voices began providing care to pregnant women, single mothers and their children, as well as to women who had already had an abortion. In 1991, supported by churches from all over San Diego county, Silent Voices moved into an independent location in Chula Vista. https://www.silentvoices.org/Since 1882, membership in the Knights of Columbus has been open to men 18 years of age or older who are "practical" (that is, practicing) Catholics in union with the Holy See. Since that time, the Knights of Columbus has understood "practical catholic" to mean a Catholic who accepts the teaching authority of the Catholic Church on matters of faith and morals, aspires to live in accord with the precepts of the Catholic Church, and is in good standing in the Catholic Church. www.kofc.org

In this episode, Eunan McKinney discusses with Carol Fawsitt, Marion Rackard and Barbara Whelan, the founders of 'Silent Voices' - an initiative by Alcohol Action Ireland - that aims to break a peculiarly Irish taboo on discussing the impact of harmful drinking on children. It explores their motivation to sustain this initiative, reflects on what has been achieved so far and examines what needs to be done by a variety of stakeholders to help improve the lives of 200,000 Irish children, and the adult children of today, who everyday live with the impact and consequences of this experience.

This week, we have on again the wonderful Sharon Pearce who is doing incredible work for the pro life resource center “Silent Voices”.  Silent voices was started to assist women who were contemplating abortion, and to provide them with knowledge on the process as well as with other alternatives.  Along the way they have created curriculums for parents with newborns, all the way up to teenage years, as well as support for those who are post abortion.  This podcast is packed with information and dialogue on the history of planned parenthood, its origins in eugenics, and how even to this day, abortion facilities are disproportionately in black communities and lauded by democrat politicians. If you liked this podcast and want to get involved with the incredible mission Sharon has taken on, please visit https://www.silentvoices.org/This weeks sponsor is Peak Performance Coach Kim Yeater.To get a better understanding of how to close the gap from where you are to where you want to be, make sure you reach out to Coach Kim at:Calendly.com/kimyeateralso, to sign up for Kim's upcoming Vision Boarding Virtual Event "Better Than 2020", go to:calendly.com/kimyeater/vision-boarding

In this episode I talk to my good friend Eric Lyons. This is one of those powerful, open discussions that I won't easily forget. As men, these are the conversations many of us avoid, being vulnerable. I have spent many a night in Thailand with our mutual friend Arron Le Boutillier at his home in Thailand https://www.treerootsretreat.com (Tree Roots Retreat) having deep discussions late into the night. Eric is doing incredibly important work with his charity Hope for Silent Voices, by giving a voice, attention and resources to the severely neglected, disadvantaged, abused and discarded globally. Much of his current work takes place in Cambodia. In this episode I explore with Eric three main topics, namely, Finding our authentic self Being responsible for what we know And realizing that the world needs the best version of us Find out more about Eric: www.hopeforthesilentvoices.org https://eazywanderer.wordpress.com (https://eazywanderer.wordpress.com)

The word empowerment refers to gaining freedom and power to do something, in relation to gender or the social/economic sphere. However we focus on its meaning of individual renewal in circumstances such as grief or loss. In particular, what does it mean to possess a voice? Is it a connection which links humanity? or a medium for directing self-compassion? Can self-advancement be derived from positive thinking, optimism and advocacy? We submit these questions to singer/song-writer Emme Lentino who faced life-altering personal loss early in her career. We explore her inspirational journey towards self empowerment and self healing. We discuss her new music and determination to project her lyrics of kindness, positivity and rays of light by creating human connections of hope and guidance with others in crisis. Her life motto “You are loved” has resonated with her global audience because of its captivating message that people need to be reminded they are loved. Join us, “In Conversation.

Download Episode!   My guest for episode #8 is Sharon Pearce, the founder and executive director of Silent Voices Pregnancy Care Center.  I reached out to Sharon when I shared my story of having had an abortion at our annual women's conference several years ago and then had several women come to me silently via texts and email to thank me for sharing my story and to share their stories with me. I reached out to her to be able to refer some for follow-up who need more counseling. Then a few months ago a saw Sharon at a ministry event and asked her to be on the podcast. During our chat, Sharon shared her story of working in the abortion industry and how that affected her to the point of a mental breakdown, and how God in His mercy healed her and lead her to start Silent Voices to help women make the decision to keep their babies. Sharon's mission is to help women make the decision to keep their babies and to support them through motherhood, and bring healing to those women who have had abortions. Maybe you've never had an abortion but you've experienced God's grace giving you beauty for the ashes of something you've been through. Maybe you know someone who's had an abortion. If so, would you please share this podcast with them. Either way, I'm sure as always that you will see a little of yourself in Sharon story of God's love, acceptance, and beauty shaping her identity and the way she lives out her faith. What Silent Voices Offers: Silent Voices offers a host of confidential services including free pregnancy tests, counseling and loving support to women facing unplanned or crisis pregnancies who often feel pressured to have an abortion throughout their pregnancies. Silent Voices has two support groups - Bridges to Motherhood for any woman who is either pregnant or has recently had a baby, who is looking for support, friendship and assistance and Post Abortion Healing & Recovery Group which is done as a weekend experience, plus Bible Studies. They also offer sex, pregnancy, and abortion education, natural family planning, as well as help and counseling for those women who choose to have abortions.     Sharon's Motto/Verse: "Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married,” says the Lord."

Hij was een beroemde predikant en theoloog die al tegen Hitler was, maar Dietrich Bonhoeffer liet het niet bij woorden. Hij stelde een daad en deed mee aan de samenzwering tegen de Führer met als doel hem te doden. De aanslag van 20 juli 1944 mislukte, en Bonhoeffer werd gevangengezet en geexecuteerd. De Zeeuwse folkgroep de Sunshine Cleaners maakte de cd ‘Silent Voices’ met liedjes over leven en werk van Bonhoeffer. Sjef Hermans en Jacqueline Heijmans komen zingen en praten over de beroemde theoloog.

Director and playwright Adong Judith creates provocative art that sparks dialogue on issues from LGBTQ rights to war crimes. In this quick but powerful talk, the TED Fellow details her work -- including the play "Silent Voices," which brought victims of the Northern Ugandan war against Joseph Kony's rebel group together with political, religious and cultural leaders for transformative talks. "Listening to one another will not magically solve all problems," Judith says. "But it will give a chance to create avenues to start to work together to solve many of humanity's problems."

A diretora e dramaturga Adong Judith cria uma arte provocativa que estimula o diálogo sobre questões que vão de direitos LGBT a crimes de guerra. Nesta palestra rápida, mas poderosa, a Bolsista TED detalha seu trabalho, incluindo a peça "Silent Voices", que reuniu vítimas da guerra do norte de Uganda contra o grupo rebelde de Joseph Kony a líderes políticos, religiosos e culturais para discussões transformadoras. "Escutar um ao outro não resolve magicamente todos os problemas", diz Judith. "Mas isso dará a chance de criar caminhos para começarmos a trabalhar juntos para resolvermos muitos dos problemas da humanidade."

監督及び脚本家であるアドン・ジュディスはLGBTQの権利から戦争犯罪まで幅広くの問題を題材とし、対話を引き起こす挑戦的なアートを作っています。この短く、しかし力強いトークの中でこのTEDフェローは、ウガンダ北部の戦争での被害者とジョセフ・コーニーの「神の抵抗軍」、政治、宗教、文化のリーダー達を集めて変化への話し合いをした『Silent Voices（声なき声）』も含めて、自身の作品を詳しく説明しています。 「互いの話を聞くことで魔法のように全ての問題が解決するとは思っていません。」とジュディスは言います。「しかし機会を作るチャンスにはなります。人類の多くの問題を解決する為に手を取り合うきっかけになります。」

감독 겸 작가, 아덩 주디스는 자극적인 예술을 통해 LGBTQ(성소수자들)의 권리에서부터 전쟁 범죄에 이르기까지 다양한 문제에 대한 대화를 촉진시킨다. 이 짧지만 강력한 이야기에서 TED 펠로우는 우간다 북부 전쟁의 희생자들과 조셉 코니(Joseph Kony)의 반군 단체를 정치적, 종교적, 문화적 지도자들과 함께 변환적인 대화로 이끌었던 연극 "침묵의 목소리(Silent Voices)"를 포함하여 그녀의 작업에 대해 자세하게 설명합니다. "서로 듣기만 해선 모든 문제가 마술처럼 풀리지는 않습니다."라고 주디스는 말합니다. "그러나 그것은 많은 인류 문제를 해결하기 위해 함께 일하기 시작하는 길을 창조 할 수있는 기회를 제공 할 것입니다."

Regisseurin und Bühnenautorin Adong Judith kreiert provokative Kunst, die den Dialog von LGBTQ-Rechten bis Kriegsverbrechen entfacht. In diesem kurzen aber kraftvollen Vortrag schildert die TED-Fellow ihre Arbeit – darunter das Stück "Silent Voices", das Opfer des Nord-Uganda-Krieges gegen die Rebellengruppe von Joseph Kony zu transformativen Gesprächen mit politischen, religiösen und kulturellen Führern zusammenführte. "Einander Zuhören wird nicht auf magische Art und Weise alle Probleme lösen", sagt Judith. "Aber es eröffnet eine Chance, Wege zu schaffen, um gemeinsam an der Lösung vieler Probleme der Menschheit zu arbeiten."

The ShuKai gang went to see Koe no Katachi (A Silent Voice). Is it better than Your Name? Why are we getting so many anime films in theaters? Find out in this episode! The post ShuKai Ep 9: Not So Silent Voices appeared first on The Grand Geek Gathering.

Our #1 episode that the viewers loved. You never know what someone is going through until it is too late.

Silent Voices…. Have you ever wanted to speak the truth, (your truth), from the heart….but fear what will follow? Silence screams the truth….and the truth of ‘fear' can be overpowering. Many of us have done it….are doing it….or have just gotten through it. I began reading for the fifth or sixth time, “He-Motions: Even Strong Men Struggle“~~T.D. Jakes. The beginning of this book describes how many men have not been taught not to….or how many of us don't know how to let out our screams. Now the point of this is this….. Are you frustrated, hurt, or in pain of some sort, but due to the way you've been brought up, the fear of judgement of others, or the fear of criticism keeps you from releasing your words and emotions? I know I've had that happen to me several times….and still do at times. In the online marketing world, there are many of you who've been doubted….questioned….and even ridiculed for even thinking of going a direction which is new to the world, despite the successes some are having. Jason passionately shares his experiences on this in last week's EPISODE! In 2013 I went to a marketing event in Las Vegas, called NO EXCUSES SUMMIT! This was a huge event for online marketers who were having major success, to beginning their success, as well as someone like myself who was there to find direction in the world of marketing. Standing outside the door, waiting on the last day to get into the event, I spoke with a woman who was waiting with me. I had just met her and shared how I have a major voice and interest in the topic of suicide. This was a connection we made, and her attempts were going to be to help me to get to Salt Lake City, Utah to speak on the topic. Two weeks later, I received a call that she had lost her son to suicide, and wanted me to speak at his funeral…..Here is the STORY!! When we choose to speak, you might just be amazed what may come…..it may have nothing to do with you…..but it might just help you serve others by pursuing a vision! Now listen in….. ~~Eddie The post Silent Voices appeared first on .

Show #89, Hour 2 | Guest: Robert L. Okin, MD | Show Summary: We avert our eyes when we meet them on the street: homeless mentally ill people with their hand-scrawled signs, shopping carts, and cardboard boxes. Because of our fear and revulsion, we fail to see any human connection with them. How do they end up on the street? How do they survive? What combination of biological vulnerabilities, childhood traumas, drugs, mental disorders, and financial devastation brought them down? And how do some manage, against all odds, to climb out of this desperate situation? Former commissioner of mental health Robert Okin spent two years on the street meeting and photographing homeless individuals with mental illness to find answers to these questions. He masterfully brings these people to life through stories and images that are intimate and gritty. Robert L. Okin, MD, was born in the Bronx, New York. He attended college and medical school at the University of Chicago, and after a psychiatric residency at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City, he spent two years at the National Institute of Mental Health. He’s a founding member of the board of advisors of Mental Disability Rights International (MDRI). Dr. Okin was chief of service of the San Francisco General Hospital Department of Psychiatry; professor of clinical psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco; and vice chair of the University of California, San Francisco, School of Medicine’s Department of Psychiatry.

After 16 days the federal government is finally re-opened!! How do we change the US Congress from red to blue (or at least a more bi-partisan purple). Since the 2012 historic inclusion of LGBTQ Americans at the Democratic Convention what's happened and what can we do to flex our political muscle? Joining CWT4R  Wednesday, October 23, 2013 is special guest Earl D, Fowlkes, Jr. President and CEO of the Center for Black Equity (formerly the International Federation of Black Pride –IFBP). Fowlkes served last year as an Obama delegate to the Democratic National Convention. In August, 2013 the Democratic National Committee’s LGBTQ Caucus voted unanimously to elect EARL as the caucus’s chair. As an LGBTQ activist and DNC insider, Earl’s unique perspective can shed light on the importance of LGBTQ voter engagement and our role working with the DNC in local, mid-term and beyond. The time has come to embrace a REAL CHANGE listen in to find out what we did not do right to help the change occur the last two elections and how WE THE PEOPLE cannot repeat that mistake this election season.For too long the LGBTQ Community has allowed others to speak for us now we need to unite and all of the SILENT VOICES need to be HEARD. It starts with a “VOTE”.Join us

At one time artist where the heartbeat and the voice of the community speaking on civil issues, community issues, social issues, and promoting education. In recent times the topics that were important to artists in the past are rarely talked about or are irrelevant to todays artists. Today we will discuss the power of the artists. Have they lost control of their freedom of speech?  Why can't artist use the mixtape circuit to promote more powerful forms of their music? Should artist take a stand and speak out current events that effect the community? Should artist break away from majors labels and deals to gain more freedom of speech? What are the consequences and penalties of speaking your mind in music today? Are artist really role models?

At the top of the show host Cyrus Webb welcomes author Debbie Nau Redmond to Conversations LIVE to discuss her book SILENT VOICES. Then at 30 min. past the hour Webb talks with recording artist Carl Brister.
