Our brains do all our thinking, but most of us seldom stop to think about how miraculous the organ truly is. Therein lies Byrne's artistic superpower. He finds wonder in unexpected or forgotten places and holds it up for us to stop and admire. Call him a wonder archaeologist. Read more.
I usually try and squeeze a little extra singing out of my favorite guests. Like, "Oh that song was important to you when you were a kid? How did it go? Do you remember the first song you wrote and will you sing some of it?"
Today's guest is Leon Bridges, whose music I first discovered, along with a lot of people, on his debut full length album Coming Home in 2015, and whose latest album is called Good Thing. Let me tell you, although Leon didn't perform live songs with a band for this session, he required no special prodding to croon a ca...
Bettye LaVette's voice illuminates the definition of a true soul singer. It pierces through the physical and awakens the listener's emotional core. A soul singer's voice is only amplified through experience, and as Bettye told me when we spoke, "I've got so much stuff to cry about, and so much stuff to holler about, an...
Anyone who says you should never meet your heroes because they will disappoint you has never met John Prine. He is everything you love about his songs. He's warm, funny and wise — although you get the sense he's not trying to be. He cares about people and their smallest details and, as his lyrics might suggest, he'll f...
Fantastic Negrito performing live at WXPN's Free At Noon Concert. Recorded live for this session.
There is nothing subtle about Fantastic Negrito. When he came in to World Cafe, he was wearing this loud, funky, royal purple and gold-embroidered jacket, his hair was braided on the sides with this explosive shock of mohawk. And where most of our guests sign our wall of fame with one Sharpie in some small spot that ha...
Mary Gauthier's Rifles & Rosary Beads is available now.
If you travel in Nashville's singer-songwriter circles, or literary circles, or progressive activist circles, you've probably witnessed Mary Gauthier bring a room to tears. Born in New Orleans, Gauthier has lived in Music City since 2001 and made her mark on both the mainstream country and Americana worlds. Her songs h...
If you’ve ever been to a military ball, stepped inside a chow hall, or attended an event at a military veterans association in your local community, you’ve likely noticed the small, round table that is always set but never occupied—the prisoners of war/missing in action (POW/MIA) table.
The tradition of setting a separate table in honor of our prisoners of war and missing comrades has been in place since the end of the Vietnam War. The manner in which this table is decorated is full of special symbols to help us remember our brothers and sisters in arms. Those symbols are spelled out in OPNAVINST 1710...
The POW/MIA table is smaller than the others, symbolizing the frailty of one prisoner alone against his or her oppressors. This table is separate from the others and can be set for one to four place settings to represent each service participating in the event.
The white tablecloth draped over the table represents the purity of their response to our country’s call to arms.
The empty chair depicts an unknown face, representing no specific Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine, but all who are not here with us.
The table itself is round to show that our concern for them is never ending.
The Bible represents faith in a higher power and the pledge to our country, founded as one nation under God.
The black napkin stands for the emptiness these warriors have left in the hearts of their families and friends. A Purple Heart medal can be pinned to the napkin.
The single red rose reminds us of their families and loved ones. The red ribbon represents the love of our country, which inspired them to answer the nation’s call.
The yellow candle and its yellow ribbon symbolize the everlasting hope for a joyous reunion with those yet accounted for.
The slices of lemon on the bread plate remind us of their bitter fate.
The salt upon the bread plate represent the tears of their families.
The wine glass, turned upside down, reminds us that our distinguished comrades cannot be with us to drink a toast or join in the festivities of the evening.
The significance of the POW/MIA table is called to attention during the toast of the evening. This is an important part of many military banquets to remind us that the strength of those who fight for our country often times rests in the traditions that are upheld today. As we celebrate the Navy’s birthday this week and...
In previous years, The New Yorker Festival has centered on pop culture luminaries, from David Letterman to Stephen Sondheim. But this year’s festival, from Oct. 6 to 8 in Manhattan, will skew political, with interviews with Chelsea Manning, Preet Bharara, and Senator Al Franken of Minnesota.
Ms. Manning will be interviewed in one of her first public speaking appearances since she was released from military prison at Fort Leavenworth this year, after former President Obama commuted the bulk of her sentence. Her sharing of thousands of confidential military and diplomatic documents in 2010 with WikiLeaks, al...
“She’s just an extraordinary story, no matter what you think of it,” Mr. Remnick said.
Mr. Bharara, a New York federal attorney appointed under Mr. Obama, was fired by President Trump in March after refusing to resign. He will be interviewed by Jeffrey Toobin, a lawyer who writes for The New Yorker. “It’ll be fascinating to see what Jeffrey can tease out of him,” Mr. Remnick said.
The festival will also feature many of the magazine’s writers in one-on-one sitdowns with politically minded artists, including the novelist Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, the director Ava DuVernay, the television host Seth Meyers and the artist Ai Weiwei. Other figures being interviewed include Jon Hamm, Glenn Close, Antho...
Noah Baumbach will show a preview screening of his upcoming film “The Meyerowitz Stories (New and Selected),” and will be on hand to answer questions. And various panels will feature journalists, novelists, comedians and political analysts discussing the Trump presidency, the threat of North Korea and more.
Tickets go on sale on Friday at festival.newyorker.com.
WASHINGTON — A half-dozen protesters demanding the ordination of women priests staged a "lie-in" just before Pope Francis arrived at a Washington church for a Mass with U.S. bishops.
The civil disobedience, organized by the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests, caused a small disturbance as police rushed in to clear the area of spectators and arrest the renegades.
The demonstrators were still on the ground, with banners draped across their robe-clad bodies, when the pope arrived at the Cathedral of St. Matthew fresh from his meeting with President Obama at the White House.
Each participant was issued a $50 ticket for blocking the road and held on the corner until the pope left the event, his motorcade whisking by them on the way to the next event, the canonization of missionary Junipero Serra.
"He saw our signs," said Janice Sevre-Duszynska, one of those arrested. "He looked right at us."
Her group believes there is no theological reason the priesthood should not be open to women. It ordains women priests in ceremonies that are not recognized by the church and that are considered grounds for excommunication.
Despite his progressive bent, Pope Francis has said "the door is closed" on the subject of women priests, disappointing Sevre-Duszynska and others who hoped he would crack that door open.
"He has not moved an inch," said Maria Eitz, who was ordained three years ago and traveled to San Francisco for the protest.
"He is a good man and he is a kind man and he stands up for the poor and that is wonderful, but the poor include women and this pope does not understand women. He has called women flowers and strawberries. We are much more than flowers and strawberries."
Down the street from the women, spectator Kathy Diaz, who came from Florida to be part of the pope's first U.S. visit, watched the protesters as they played a cat-and-mouse game with police trying to keep the crosswalks clear.
Diaz said she would welcome female priests but doesn't think it will happen.
"The Bible says the priests have to be men, and the pope has to follow the Bible," she said.
Replicating virtual machines (VMs) will not prevent data corruption, and many businesses admit they are unable to get back online quickly after a ransomware attack, according to Iland.
A new report from the secure cloud provider, in association with VM backup specialist Veeam, found that 44% of organisations rely or some form of replication as part of their backup and/or disaster recovery (DR) strategy. However, 24% have experienced data corruption or a ransomware attack, according to a survey of 300...
Three-quarters of those surveyed had experienced issues resulting in systems outages in the past year. Of these, 46% were the result of hardware failure and 41% originated in human error. Malicious attacks accounted for 24% of the total.
When asked about recovery time from a ransomware attack, 23% of organisations surveyed said the average downtime they experienced per incident was under 24 hours, 27% had experienced less than a hour of downtime due to a ransomware attack, and 26% said they had seen less than four hours of downtime arising from such an...
The survey found that 68% of businesses had needed to fully recover an application or VM due to an outage in the past year, but nearly half of organisations protect less than half of their VMs with a recovery plan and almost a quarter of them back up less than half of their virtual environment each day.
Although a quarter of the organisation taking part in the survey said they had zero tolerance for data loss, only a few said they were able to bring critical systems back online quickly.
Looking at disaster recovery, when asked to estimate how long it would take to bring critical applications back online, just 13% were confident that their systems would be back within a few minutes, more than one-third said they would need a few hours, and a further third admitted it would take a day. One-fifth of them...
Flexibility and low cost make the cloud well-suited to disaster recovery, but there is no one-size-fits-all route to cloud disaster recovery. We look at the key choices.
Minutes count in legal work, and Graubard Miller needed a simpler platform for disaster recovery. The verdict: The law firm chose Iland disaster recovery in the cloud.
Amy Hawthorne, vice-president of global marketing at Iland, said: “These figures suggest that many organisations have work to do to meet their own targets for data protection and that size is no indicator of resilience.
The San'yas Indigenous Cultural Safety Training program uses blunt talk to confront racial bias in Canadian health care, with the goal of making care safer and more accessible for Indigenous patients.
This segment originally aired on December 17, 2016.
A lot of people assume that when they call an ambulance or head to the ER, they're going to a safe place where they'll be treated with respect.
It's not something all Canadians take for granted.
"The hospital is probably very safe for you, a middle-aged, affluent white man," Cheryl Ward tellsWhite Coat, Black Art host, Dr. Brian Goldman.
"I can tell you horror stories.... My own mother experienced overt racism, violence and was treated like she wasn't a human being," said Ward, who is Indigenous, as well as the B.C. provincial lead for the San'yas Indigenous Cultural Safety Training Program.
Left to right: Chelsey Branch, Cheryl Ward, Rain Daniels and Laurie Harding of the San'yas Indigenous Cultural Safety Training course team.
On the day her mother died, Ward didn't make it to the hospital in time to say goodbye. But when her family arrived with plans to carry out traditional rituals, they found her room cleaned out and her belongings packed away.
"My auntie said the nurses had come in and said they wanted to make sure they could look at everything that was taken out of the room before we left," said Ward.
"So the implication was, we were a bunch of thieves, that instead of grieving and doing our own protocols, we'd be concerned about stealing what ... gloves, Kleenex? It was the moment our mother passed away, and I'll never forget that as long as I live."
The most common stereotype associated with Indigenous patients is that they are alcoholics, said course facilitator Rain Daniels. Adding, "it's far from the only one."
"I simply don't care about my health. I might lie to you so I can get drugs. I don't feel pain, so if I am asking for medication for my pain, I might be lying," Daniels said, listing off biases she and other Indigenous people face.
"What happens when we are faced with reports and data and statistics that show us that Indigenous people have a different reality in Canada. What do we do about it?" Ward asked.
The San'yas training program confronts those biases head-on.
According to the description on its website, the training is designed to "increase Aboriginal-specific knowledge, enhance individual self-awareness and strengthen skills for any professional working directly or indirectly with Indigenous people."
One of the first things participants are asked to do is identify themselves, using language such as "I'm a white settler."
Ward admits it can make people uncomfortable.
"A complaint went right up to the top because this doctor was being asked to identify as a white man, and he didn't like that. So he used his white privilege to create a lot of problems for us."
The real aim of the program, she says, is to make people aware of their unconscious biases.
"No healthcare worker got up in the morning and said, 'Gee, I think I'll discriminate against an Indigenous family today,'" she said. "That never happens. We have to understand the context for this."
More than 48,000 people have completed the San'yas training since its launch in 2010. In addition to B.C., the program has expanded to Ontario and Manitoba.
Dr. Marcia Anderson DeCoteau spoke to White Coat, Black Art from the Winnipeg studio, with her daughter Myla.
Dr. Marcia Anderson-DeCoteau is one of the people working to bring course to Manitoba.
She was a guest on White Coat, Black Art when it aired a program called First Nations, Second Class Care.
At that time, she spoke about her experiences as an Indigenous physician and the racism her own father experienced in the health care system.
Anderson-DeCoteau is hopeful this training will help her health care colleagues confront racism when they see it.
"In the WRHA (Winnipeg Regional Health Authority), it is considered more acceptable to say something racist than to challenge someone on saying something racist," she said..
"I did a talk about a year ago for a family physician education day in Manitoba ... and on the evaluation one of my physician colleagues had written something like, 'Well, clearly residential schools worked, because you're educated now.'"
She had no recourse to confront him.
"There's no way to respond to the person or enter into a dialogue. The real advantage of the online facilitated course is there's an opportunity ... to openly discuss biases they have."
She says while the health care system has far to go, she's had some difficult, but rewarding conversations with co-workers in recent months about their own biases.

About 60,000 new cases of Parkinson's Disease will be diagnosed in the U.S. this year. It' s a disease that disables the movements of the people it inflicts.
However, many patients are finding an escape in a weekly dance class offered on the campus of Connecticut College in New London.
"I was pretty stiff and I couldn't do very much, I was confined to a wheel chair,’ said Billie Lieberman of East Lyme.
Dance therapy helps some Parkinson's patients overcome pain and immobility.
Now Lieberman is on her feet.
"We find the exercise keeps us mobile, just like anyone else like a machine, if you don't run it you get rusty. so that's the same case with people with Parkinson's you tend to get stiffened up quicker,” said Philip Moore of Norwich.
Each person in the class is at a different stage in the disease. Some come with caretakers, while others arrive alone.
They all agree though, moving to the music is a powerful medicine.
"There's something magic that happens when you do this to music. people do things they can't do just standing up in your house or at an exercise class,” said Jeff Lincoln of Guilford.
Instructor, Rachel Balaban, has witnessed transformations in this class.
"People get a sense of where their body is meant to be and they envision and then they put the body there,” said Balaban.
Stan Werthheimer helps head the CPWT, the Parkinson's working group. He helped start this class.
"When you have pd you live very much in the present so if you feel better for an hour. that's an hour of your life you feel good and it's a bonus it's a real bonus,” said Werthheimer.
So even if for only an hour at a time, this program is producing results and offering rewards.
"You move and you don't think about where it hurts. it's funny you can move to the music but i couldn't move if the music wasn't there and the rhythm wasn't there,” said Werthheimer.
Moscow, November 30, Interfax - The activities of Patriarch Bartholomew of Constantinople are increasingly taking on a political nature, making him a factor of international destabilization in the Black Sea region, the Moscow Patriarchate said.
