"And it says she, but they're both by the same person. It still says Abraham reisman. I know, well that the cover of ringmaster is kind of a funny story. I similarly was approving the cover, like right when I was coming out as trans, which I did not expect that timing to be happening the way it was, but it was. And I had already approved the cover. And then I was like, I feel like I want to add some femininity to my name. And I pretty quickly decided I wanted to be Abraham Josephine reisman. But I didn't want to mess with the graphic design of the cover. There's no room for this. No, there's no room for the Josephine. It needs to be what it is. So I figured, okay, in the inside cover, we'll have, you know, on the jacket it'll say Abraham Josephine reisman. But I'm going to confuse people for a little bit, maybe for the rest of my life. Who knows? But I actually love my name. My birth name is not something I'm ashamed of. Abraham is something that I treasure. And that's why I use it still in the byline. I'm kind of ripping off two of my heroes, Charlie Jean Anders, the sci-fi writer, and Justin Vivian Bond, the performer by doing the whole boy named girl named last name formulation. Does it change the reporting experience at all for you? I'm about to find out. Well, 'cause I've got some stuff in the fire that I can't talk about, some irons in the fire, but they're very exciting. And what's interesting is this would sort of be my return to a big set of reporting projects, which I've mostly been I've been doing things here and there like the Hernandez brothers thing you talked about. But mostly I've been sort of in getting ringmaster ready to go mode. And pitching next project mode. But now those projects are starting to come to fruition. And I'm very curious to see how it changes the reporting experience. So far, it has not, but I have mostly dealt with people who either I already had a relationship with prior to transition, and they know and trust me, or it's been people that I've met and my gender just doesn't really factor into it. But part of the reason that was I mean, you know, this was happening at all. I was writing this. There was a pandemic book ringmaster. I wasn't meeting people in person. So it was less of a factor. I wasn't out as trans while I was reporting most of it, but even if I had been, it wouldn't have been as much of an issue. This time around with this next set of projects I'm working on. I'm going to have to do a lot of in person stuff because that's sort of what I want to do anyway. It's not just like, oh, now I'm forced to go talk to people in person. You get much better data when you talk to somebody in person. So I don't know how it's going to affect things. I am not above, you know, being slightly less femme if I need to do it for yourself, protection reasons. Like if I have to do some reporting and the fascist state of Florida or something, you know, then I may have to mask it up a little bit, so I don't get detained at the border or whatever. But in general, I'm going to roll the dice. I'm going to dress the way I want to dress. I mean, I've been very lucky to be in communities so far that have been very accepting of me. Now, I am fully aware that that is not necessarily representative of the majority of the population of the world, but I've been lucky. And I hope my luck will run out, I guess. You know, I think there are people are often much more humane in one on one interactions than they are with their beliefs about a whole population in an abstract sense. You know, I've interviewed a lot of people who I'm sure who have told me they voted for Trump. And dealing with me, even before transition, as long as you're approaching them professionally and it's very clear what you're there to do and what they feel comfortable with, you know, you can talk to people. So hopefully it won't throw it all. The next thing that I'm working on, the big next big thing is in the entertainment industry. So I doubt I'll be the first trans person that most people have ever encountered. But it is something I'm thinking about. So and there's just the general safety concerns. Just being trans in public is something that you have to kind of be sort of aware of, but not let dominate your life in terms of, well, what could happen? And would this transformation be something that you wanted to write about? Do you think about it in terms of your work? I actually have a little bit. I have an essay that is coming out at some point soon. But it's all about how her wrestling and transness for me are kind of wrapped up. And that will be sort of the first time I've written about being trans, even there, I didn't want to get too emotional, I guess. It wasn't about emotional pornography. I wanted it to be about this was a common phenomenon the way gender and wrestling interacted for me. I was not alone in this. It's not so much saying like, look at me. It's more like, here's this kind of anecdotal story that tells you about a lot of people's experiences of enjoying wrestling, which is, especially for millennials, we were hitting puberty. We were all starting to sort ourselves into gender roles and who's supposed to be bullied and who's supposed to be the bully and all of that. And then we all started watching wrestling because it was 1997 through 1999. Well, through 2001, really, when wrestling was at its peak, and we were all at this impressionable age, getting all this gender information that on the one hand was repugnant. But on the other hand, had this sort of cryptic underlayer of transgression that was very appealing. And I returned to that in this essay so I can talk about what revisiting wrestling, the second time really was like. And hopefully I think that's also a somewhat representative experience. And probably already saying too much about the estimate. But I wanted to, yeah. So I know you said you couldn't talk directly about what you wanted to do. But as a format as something to dig into, does this biography form kind of work for you? I've really dug it this next project that I can't talk about is a biography or at least biographical in nature, even if it's not similarly to the Vince McMahon book, it's not his entire story in this book because there was only so much I could fit in. And you know, I'm trying to get a little, I guess that actually answers the question. What I'm trying to do is use what I learned about writing a biography, a full biography of somebody who's already deceased so you can tell their full story with Stan Lee. I learned from that, you know, how to do a biography. Then with Vince, what I learned, and a lot of this was a credit to my wonderful frontline editor who is my spouse, SI Rosenbaum, is you can tell the story of Vince that you need to tell for this book without telling his entire lifespan. There is a story to be told and that's the most important thing. So I think what I'm trying to do with this upcoming project, and hopefully future projects after that is not necessarily try to think of myself as like a biographer as that that's the entirety of it. But rather kind of use the framework of the chronology of a person's life as a way to talk about something bigger, you know? I'm very proud of true believer, but I think if I could do it again, I would have thought bigger about what are some of the more global human implications. Of both this guy's life and of our understanding of human psychology that we get when we see his life. I think I did that a much better.

"Farm podcast. I'm Erin Lamar. I'm here with my co host Evan ratliff and max linsky. Hello. Hey Aaron, Aaron Evan, hello. How are you guys? Aaron, who is on the show this week. Very excited about this episode. Got excited when the book arrived in my mail was excited about reading it, and then the excitement continued to talking about it. I talked to Abraham Josephine reisman. She is the author of ringmaster, Vince McMahon, and the unmaking of America, which, due to me not being able to read press releases, is not actually out yet, but is available for pre order. It will be out in March. I don't know if we've done that before on this show. I hope so. Sorry, guys. I talked to someone about a book that only I could read and no one else could read. She has previously been the author of a biography of Stan Lee from marvel. I kind of wanted to get into what putting together one of these biographies and tales, especially for both of these are living subjects who have an immense number of skeletons in their closet and also how she got people to reveal those skeletons in their respective closets. She's been a journalist, places like vulture at New York magazine, Daily Beast, and I've been into her work for a long time. Great conversation. Yeah, nothing wrong with getting some pre orders lined up. As an author myself, I can tell you pre orders are very important. I was like, I'm so sorry. And then I was informed that pre orders are actually more valuable than regular orders. So if you want to save me the embarrassment of this poor scheduling decision, go out, and I'm saying this as a person who is, this is addressed in the interview, not a wrestling fan. Not a watcher of wrestling, but I've always been fascinated by wrestling's role in American life. If you are like me, you might enjoy this book that both debunks and also shows the grandeur and history of wrestling and the whole empire that Vince McMahon built. I will say, I think that doing an interview for a book that is not yet out in order to drive pre orders. It's kind of a WWE move. Yes. Overdose. When it gets to be march. Exactly. Exactly. Get ready. We make this show in partnership with people at Fox. Thanks so much to them for their partnership. And now

"This has been, oh, just yummy. I love it. I love it all. Before you go, we always love to ask our guests a couple of closing questions. And the first is, what's just one or two self care practices that you try to do every day to stay healthy? Well, number one is feed on the ground. Bare feet on the ground for me. Just to, yeah, connect with earth energy. And the other one that I try to do every day is nothing. Do nothing. For some period of time, I have an open space of free space with no input other than your senses and your body. I love that. And with the feet on the ground thing I wanted to ask. What's your feelings on those sort of replacement things that you can buy for that, for example? The grounding pads. The grounding pads or the shoes that have the copper and them or the things you can kind of, you can plug it into the grounding plug of your I gotta say I'm a fan of bare feet on the unobstructed ground. Whether that be sand or rock or dirt, I'm kind of old fashioned that way. I'm sure that some of those things are helpful, but I think nothing replaces your like your skin on the ground. The same way like skin on skin for babies and bonding. I just want like no replacement for that. Yeah. Especially skin on the earth too does require you to actually go outside. People are going outside these days. Back when I was in acupuncture school, literally I got frostbite in Los Angeles because it was 50° at night and I was wearing very thin sold shoes. And I was sitting very still at some event. And I went to school the next day and my teacher said, yeah, you need to walk barefoot on the ground and pull that Yang Chi from the earth. And I'm like, even in 50°, you know, even in the cold weather. And she's like every day. And literally I've done it for ever since then. Come on. I bet you have really tough feet. Actually, I tried to make them pretty. I'm trying to try to get off all the rope stuff. In the bath. But they're happy to walk on the ground, yeah. Well, finally, Josephine, what's just one thing that we should all ditch completely and replace with something healthier today? I think we should ditch judgment and domination. And replace it with what I call power with or collaboration. And really, really enjoy working with other people working with the people in the planet together. I love that. That's a great thing to replace judgment with. Could use a lot more of that. Absolutely. Awesome. This has been great. Josephine, for those that want to be more a part of your world or get started with what you do, what's the best place for them to go? The best place to go is the nectar of plants dot com. That's the focus on essential oils and education and Chinese medicine together and if you want, you can sign up on the mailing list there. I hear about new courses and things that I do. And you'll get a free, you'll get a free two hour video if you do that. Featuring me talking about three real life clinical cases with some students and you can see how I employ them if you want to understand more about that. That's really cool. I love learning from case studies. So I'm definitely going to check that out. And props on the domain, the nectar of plants dot com. I love it.

"Like, I mean, we've all seen this like plants growing in these bizarre places and they develop this very bizarre shape. They kind of like turn the corner and you're like, how do they, how do they maintain that shape? Well, actually, they're structure has adapted over time. And you can read about epigenetics. It happens to human beings as well. You can take a pair of identical twins and over their lifetime, their experiences will change their structure and by the time they're 40, well, you are a twin. A twin. I just realized I just realized that. You look different than your twin. And that is an evidence of that epigenetic change. So the essential oils embody that for us. They bring us that message of adaptability and structural movement because they themselves come from come from that in their growth and their life cycle, right? So then particularly the essential oils that come from the seed or the root, because these are the things that resonate you could say with our own essence in our bodies. So the carrot seed, the coriander seed, caraway seed. All of these have a profound effect fennel seed and is heat. On our what in my world is the kidney system, the essence and the gene systems, kidney and bladder, and allow us to mobilize our ability to grow and change. Which, you know, that's a huge factor in our healthy Ness. And being able to stay healthy. Yeah, I love that, especially when you were talking about your Jade plant as well and just how automatic that yearning for the sun is. And we think of plants as these very still things because they're rooted, they're literally rooted to the ground, you know, they can't run and I think about humans, oh my goodness, we have so much freedom of movement. We can go anywhere we want. And we can go up in the sky, we can dive down into the ocean. We can run up hills, we can swing, we can cartwheel, and we can flip, there's just all of these things. But I've never really stopped to think about, you know, what are those things that we are yearning for that maybe we're not recognizing the way that the plants just automatically go towards them. Yeah. Well, we do too. We yearn for we yearn for the sun, which in my world is, we yearn for sovereignty for the capacity to sort of see our world from the big perspective. Which that word, to me, I like that word, even though I guess it conjures things for people that might be, I don't know, not as nice as the way I think of it. But I think of each of us gaining sovereignty over our lifetime that we become more and more of who we are. And more and more, taking our seat in our world, but not losing our adaptability or losing our capacity for change. Which is our strength. And so it's our strength. The fact that we are mobile, the fact that we can change that we do change. Josephine, do you want to give any last tips before we move on to our closing questions about how people can mesh essential oils and Chinese medicine together or use these tools for aligning the heart for that heart centered interactions or for that evolution of change that we've been talking about? Yeah, I think that I think the last thing I want to say is that just to remember when you use them, how powerful they are for the spirit as well as the structure that we are simultaneously getting this aroma but we're also particularly if you put them on the body getting the message from the plant and how precious that is. How precious that is for our own connection in ourselves and the ones that I was thinking of for aligning the heart and will are narrowly and rose, the flowers, the flowers are like the full expression of the plant, but they embody the fact that their temporal and that they will go back to the root back to the seed. So they have like this beautiful fullness and openness. And then they have this, I don't know, you might call it sadness or letting go, but that goes back to our core. And this is life cycle so, so important for our health and for our brain you could say in our life that we gain range of emotion and range of feeling. That way. No, I couldn't agree more. I mean, we are designed to grow. We're not meant to just be born and you reach maturity at the age of 18 or 25 or whatever you want to call it and then just stay. That's just not what we're meant to do. And so yeah, if you find yourself feeling like I haven't grown, I haven't changed and embrace the tools that you've got embraced the essential oils embrace the sun, embrace the movement of your body and you have the power to change. Yeah, exactly. Exactly. And they're so supportive, the essential oils, again, from Chinese medicine point of view, they awaken and make the relationship with both the inner world and the outer world. The inner world of your core with their substance and the outer world of relationship with their aroma.

"Welcome to the show, Josephine, how are you? Well, I'm delighted to be here. Thank you so much. Thank you for coming. I always really relish chatting with people who have knowledge in Chinese medicine specifically. I don't want to play favorites or anything. But Chinese medicine just has such a rich history. Can you just give us a little brief insight into that? Sure. Sure. So try these medicine, which these days is sometimes called East Asian medicine oriental medicine. I think the best way to talk about it is it's energetic medicine, and it's relational medicine, meaning in the Chinese medical view of our bodies and our lives. We see ourselves in context as in always in dynamic with whatever circumstances we find ourselves in. So rather than isolating aspects and studying them in that very specific or narrow way, Chinese medicine is all about how can we see ourselves in this larger world and how can we see our relationships with all the different things? In our world. And it originated with people who investigated that themselves, who actually sat down and sort of tried to understand what was happening in their bodies and in their world. From the inside out. And they always see themselves in that almost. You could say cosmic relationship. In a way, which to me is very exciting. Yeah. Landscape. Yeah, cosmic relationship, like our relationship between us and the stars and now that impacts our bodies. Are you talking about are we getting into astrology here? Well, and astrology is certainly included because this way of looking at medicine doesn't exclude almost anything. Nothing is really excluded. So we're looking at our relationship to the earth to the air to the sun to the plants to all the different things in the world. And at any given moment, you could say it's, well, roughly 50%, what we bring, our bodies, and then another 50% what the world brings to us. Oh, I've never thought about it in that way. I really love that. How do essential oils tie into Chinese medicine? It doesn't really tie in traditionally, does it? Is it kind of more of a modern adaptation kind of influencing it? I'm actually essential oils can be found in very ancient texts because it was, there's been the science of sort of steam distillation of plant essences for a long time. And the way they were used in Chinese medicine, they were, they were distilled and kept in the monasteries because this is where the traditions could be kept alive, sort of from generation to generation. And so, you know, they keep the plant lore and the living or current plants you could say, but they also distill and use the essential oils in a very different way. I guess the thing that is really amazing about essential oils is that their substance is this almost DNA of the plant, and then there aroma for us is part of our relationship with the world of what we call Wei Chi or some people call that defensive tea. So like I said, we're always thinking about that relationship. In fact, Chinese medicine key itself is a relationship and there's all different kinds of relationships. So the aroma has the relationship with the external world. And the substance itself has the relationship with your core, your essence, your own essence, what we call genius. Which makes them amazing to work with. Yeah. Do you have any tips for people who are working with essential oils at home and keeping that in mind that gene in that essence? Oh. Well, these are things you probably already know, but the thing about essential oils because of their aroma, they are so volatile, meaning they're significant, they get exposed to heat or light. Their essence, their essence will remain, but their aroma will evaporate. So their ability to move our relationship with the external world will decline. Where the substance the actual liquid you could say won't necessarily decline. So your tip is essentially safeguard your oils from sunlight and heat and exposed air. Which probably everybody knows anyway, but I think it's you know what? I feel like not I feel like a lot of people don't know that. I think it's been a while since we've really talked about the storage of essential oils and how important that is and you know a lot of people get really excited when they get a bunch of oils and they want to they want to put them out in all the pretty places. And there's nothing wrong with that per se. Unless that pretty place happens to be right in front of a really bright window, right? Oh yeah. You wouldn't want to have those oils under that direct sunlight constantly. And preferably, we're putting them in a cool, dark place. Oh yeah, I keep all of mine in the closet. And, you know, I mean, it's true, I open a door and look at them a lot. Because I like to see them, but definitely they're going to keep better and be more powerful if we don't allow that aroma to escape. I mean, it's also the aroma reducer on the top that you want to be sure is in place. And a lot of times what I notice is there's some distributors that don't put in the aroma reducer, particularly if they're for perfumery or cosmetic application. And by rogue Roma reduce, you're talking about that little plastic thing that a little plastic thing on the top that helps to prevent some of that aroma from escaping right away because if you, I mean, some oils depends on the oils too. If they're top notes, they're going to, they're going to be right up there running at you right away. So they're going to, they're going to degrade much faster. The bass notes, the things that don't come popping right up, like patchouli or sandalwood, these kinds of things. They're going to be less volatile in that way to kind of keep longer, actually. Yeah. Well, this is so hard because for me and I'm sure a lot of people out there, it's like an out of sight out of mind kind of thing, you know? Like the same with my vitamins by supplements. Like if they're not right there staring me in the face all the time, then I just, I just don't use them as much. So what I've found to help me is a if I do have my oils out, I want to make sure they're at least in a dark bottle. Or brown bottle. I buy from a brand that happens to know this. And so they put all their oils in a dark glass bottle, but they also go a step further and protect the whole bottle really with their label. That's not an accident. They're like, no, there's some brands that like to put just a clear leg will all around because they know people like to see the liquid inside.

"This month the full manica is brought to you by LinkedIn. Let's talk about what's professional today. On LinkedIn, important conversations are happening around what it means to be a professional. Right now, LinkedIn members are talking about things like needing more flexibility around where we work, how we work, and even taking time away from work to focus on family or mental health. Because those things should not stunt career development and growth. Instead, they should enhance it as we show up on our own terms. Professional is ours to define. And your authentic self is your professional self. Post your truth, show the world the authentic, professional you, and join the conversations redefining professional on LinkedIn. LinkedIn, welcome professionals. Hello. From wonder media network, I'm Jenny Kaplan, and this is will manica. This month we're talking about innovators. Women who helped shape the world we live in today. From inventors to activists. Today's will mannequin invented a solution to one of the most tedious tasks in the kitchen. It was a machine that brought the feeling of luxury straight into your own home. Let's meet the inventor of the commercial dishwasher, Josephine Cochran. Josephine was born on March 8th, 1839 in Ohio. She was the daughter of a civil engineer and the great granddaughter of the inventor of the first patented steamboat in the U.S.. Needless to say, the inventor's spirit was in her bones. When Josephine was 19, she married William a Cochran straight out of high school. She took her husband's last name, but made it her own by adding an E to the end. Early in their marriage, her husband found great success in the dry goods business. With their newfound wealth, they moved into a mansion in Illinois, and Josephine embraced the role of a socialite. She hosted lavish dinner parties proudly displaying her collection of antique dishes, dating back to the 1600s. The dishes were delicate and difficult to clean. To her dismay, Josephine discovered that her servants had chipped the fine China during cleaning. So Josephine tried to take things into her own hands and started to wash the China herself. She quickly tired of all the washing and was determined to find a mechanical solution. She got to sketching out a design for a new machine. In 1883, while she was in the early stages of exploring what this machine could look like, her husband died. She was left with a mountain of dead. Would initially started out as a pursuit born out of pure curiosity, became Josephine's best shot at financial success. In 1885, Josephine filed her first patent application for her dishwashing machine. Some had attempted to design dishwashing machines before. But Josephine's invention was the first to use water pressure to clean the dishes. The previous machines required the user to pour boiling water over the dishes. Josephine's invention also had racks designed to fit and hold dishes in place as the jets sprayed them with water. The following year, Josephine built the first prototype with the help of a mechanic named George butters. At the end of 1886, Josephine received a U.S. patent for her dishwashing machine. She was ready to start selling. Josephine pursued hotels and restaurants as her first target customers. It was no easy task, especially as a woman. She later recalled what it was like to approach the Sherman house, a large hotel in Chicago, saying, you can not imagine what it was like in those days for a woman to cross a hotel lobby alone. I had never been anywhere without my husband or father. The lobby seemed a mile wide. I thought I should think that every step. But I didn't. And I got an $800 order as my reward. Once Josephine had a few orders in hand, it was time to start manufacturing. But Josephine lacked the cash to get the business moving quickly. It wasn't until 1893 that business really picked up speed. That year, Chicago hosted a world's fair. Josephine was the only woman with a machine on display. She wowed the audience, demonstrating how she could take a stack of 240 dirty plates, cups and saucers, and turn them into sparkly clean dishes in just two minutes. She was awarded the highest prize for best mechanical construction durability and adaptation to its line of work. She was also rewarded with orders. Customers were sold on the possibility of her machine saving them time and money. She saw a sharp increase in orders from restaurants, hotels, hospitals, and colleges. In 1898, Josephine opened her first factory. She established Cochrane's Crescent washing machine company, and sold her dishwashers far and wide. During her lifetime, her machines continued to be more of interest to businesses than individual consumers. In 1913, Josephine died at the age of 74. A few decades after her death, her dishwashers finally started becoming popular in households. Today, dishwashers are a staple in many American homes. Her company eventually became KitchenAid, and today is owned by Whirlpool. In 2006, Josephine was inducted into the national inventor's Hall of Fame. For more information on the women were covering and for pictures of some of the women and work we're talking about..

"In the face of debate over racial discrimination in the country or bolster France's model of integration. Or do you make of that narrative? Sure. I mean, there were loads of debates at the moment in the press on social media, saying that she is playing the role of the good migrants, so to speak. As part of the publican assimilationism. So she allows France to present them itself as a successful multiracial society. But in spite of all these debates, many of which are valid, it must take away from the fact that Joaquin baker is this huge star. She was a feminist icon, the first black performer to be honored in this way. And I think we mustn't obscure that achievement in spite of the fact that there are some kind of tensions there. Yes, well, I was also just going to remind you that the fact that I interviewed Christian jumbo, the actor, recently, she wrote and starred in her own one woman play, based on Josephine. And, you know, despite the fact that she did pass away more than 40 years ago, you know, people find a lot in her story still, don't they? Oh, absolutely. And even in the world of performance, I'm thinking of the likes of Grace Jones, Tina Turner, Beyoncé. Even Lady Gaga, they all were very much. You see hints of those feeling baker in their kind of stage presence, even in terms of Joyce being bakers put on stage presence in the latter part of her career. She kind of reminds me of australi bassi. So she really did inspire so many performers of across borders people can look her up, they can watch they can hear they can see what is out there. What's archived? Lovely to be able to talk to you today on a historic day, as you say, which, of course, there's debate. There always is, when is there not, but not to be obscured about the momentousness of the commemoration? Because Josephine Baker today is going to be the first black woman to be immortalized in the Pantheon mausoleum in Paris and you were just listening there to the research fellow at Trinity College, Cambridge, agile also, who study area does include Josephine Baker and also Afro Latin women modernists. Thank you so much for so many messages today. I have to say with regards to our bodies and women and as it was just described by a Joe there, the tight rope that we walk and many of us feel we walk and say, huge divides on this with regards to where you come out on it. One message here just with regards to some of the criticism that Emily has faced because of writing this book and putting it out there while still posting bikini shots does when a bikini line on Instagram or certainly posting those sorts of images, a message here that says aren't we just buying into the patriarchy if we curtail the bikini shots? Why shouldn't Emily, where a bikini and bisexual, she's right? None of our choices are in isolation. It's complicated, no name on that message.

"Who told her mom, they are uniforms of art. I could just keep that playing, yeah. It would be gorgeous, wouldn't it? Welcome to the program. Let's start with a bit of background on Josephine Baker for our listeners who may not know a lot about. So who was she and where did she grow up? So do you think baker was from St. Louis in the states? She was born in 1906 born very poor with the opportunities she in fact worked as a maid. She did go on to be a cool girl in the states. She had some success there. But her experience was, of course, blighted by Jim Crow, Jim Crow regime, which was essentially a regime that talked black people to think of themselves as inferior to whites. So she came to realize that she'd reached her full potential that she could in the states, and it was in 1925 that she set sail for Paris. And this was the time when the city was in the midst of a cultural movement called negrophilia. So all things black were considered fashionable and chic and central and creative. So Jason baker was able to capitalize on this particular cultural movement. And so she was loved here. You know, in kind of in contrast to in the states where she was very much a victim of prejudice and Paris, she became this kind of ebony goddess she performed on stage in 1925 in a show called la reve and she famously performed in wearing nothing better pink flamingo feather. So she was quite the charmer really exciting figure. And quite opportunistic coming out of we were talking in the show about is kind of tight rope that the women have to walk when it comes to performing your sexuality and femininity. And with basically being baker, she was quite opportunistic, so she the opportunity to be viewed as this sort of exotic creature from far away. But I think she did so in a way that was kind of playful. And she was certainly empowered in her performances. It's a fascinating line and tightrope that runs right through and how it's changed we could. We could spend a lot more time on, but I wanted to just keep with her life because what she packs in was fascinating. And I mentioned that her role during World War II. Oh, wow, gosh, yes. So she was more than just this dancing nude figure on stage. She actually worked as a spy for the French resistance. So she would charm Nazi generals and she would charm diplomats into sharing secret information about where Germans sold us were, and she would scribble it down on sheet music using invisible ink. And then she would pin it to her knickers and smuggle to cross borders so we might yeah, she was quite remarkable. So, you know, we had remembrance the remembrance day this month and so we do think about those who have contributed to the war effort..

"Deflect negative criticism. She seems her recognize. Ed's future importance in the place of us art history and she documented his work both as a matter of bookkeeping and just to have a really thorough record as he completed paintings. She entered each one into a detailed log. She kept an account book that described the work and included all the relevant data about it. The date that it was started and completed the arrangements of any loan outs that may have sometimes hopper would write the paintings. Titles in the book. But joe would always annotate it with a description of the image to make it clear what the painting actually was. She was also pretty aware that her husband had found his footing as an artist and made a name for himself in his career that she had gone in the opposite direction. She wrote quote for the female of the species. It's a fatal thing for an artist to marry her. Consciousness is too much disturbed. She can no longer live sufficiently within herself to produce. But it's hard to accept this if you've looked at any of edward hopper's paintings from after he and josephine became romantically involved. You have seen joe. Although she didn't always look like herself she really became his only model. So whether you're seeing an usher in a movie theater in new york movie or the woman drinking late night. Coffee with a gentleman and the diner in nighthawks. That's all joe. There's speculation that just as he was jealous of her in so many ways. This might have been something that joe insisted on due to her own jealousies about her husband but also seems that to some degree. This was a way for joe to be part of her husband's success that she wasn't being allowed successive her own. Yes she also seemed to just enjoy that. Like in those moments she became the focus of his. He paid attention to her in a way. That was not unkind. She wrote about being very very proud of posing for him of being part of his work in that way and she really did seem to love this aspect of their lives. She and ed collaborated on the back stories of the characters that she inhabited for his work even giving them character names. That only they knew.

The conflicts between them heightened as edward had done in the early stages of their marriage. He once again began sketching critical caricatures cartoons of the two of them including one called non anger man pro anger woman. This shows him literally like a saint complete with a halo. It looks like a cartoon version of a painting of a saint. You might see while. Joe is made to look like an irate. Tiny pixie haranguing him. Their relationship was strained even more when joe who was frustrated started to casually share details of their life with some ed's colleagues and patrons since she was handling of his business she noted when he was lethargic and not productive or even just that he wasn't feeling well they had started visiting south truro on cape cod and the summers and they decided to build a house there in the nineteen thirties. And of course this came with its own stresses particularly during the construction and as their strange often. Abrasive dynamic had developed over the years it had also as we mentioned earlier grown physically violent in her journals. Joe describes the two of them getting into altercations really regularly when they closed up their greenwich studio and may of nineteen thirty four for the summer. She references the tense pre travel situation between the two of them in her journal. Writing quote e. feeling watched all his symptoms to the four all negotiation. And prohibition i driven to scratch and bite. He hinders one. So his insistent. Driving in the spurs. Every time i glance at my list when their tenth anniversary arrived there wasn't really a celebration and two days. Later Ed suggested that he could drive to pick up his mother and sister to visit their newly finished house in south truro. She had been hoping the house. It'd be done in time for them to have a party in. That did not work out. She was so frustrated at the idea that in the midst of still moving and getting the how settled he thought it would be fine for her to also have to cook for and look after guests. That joe rowe to a friend all of this. It is also tied up in how angry ed seemed to get when she found a bolt of inspiration to paint so as I'm reading this excerpt from this letter. Know that she's kind of like merging these two issues they're having into one sh rates quote. Ed is the very center of my universe. If i'm on the point of being very happy he sees to it that. I'm not if i am happy. Ever and not too exhausted. I might want to paint. He's better fed more blindly fed during the infrequent periods. When i do paint. But it riles him. She also wrote to his family and said that it was just a really bad time for visitors which caused more strife between them. Joe writes us things to send to a darker place between them where violence is a lot. More common that quote if he cuffs al scratch. What else is there to do in protest. Edward as we mentioned earlier was a lot larger than joe was about twice her size in weight. In addition to being much taller she wrote that she quote always found tolman exciting. Not when they use that extra span of arm linked to swap me though edward additionally was constantly critical of joe's painting and when he experienced a creative block that criticism became more cruel and this wounded her deeply. She wrote that being hit by him was quote. Not as bad as meanness there is also really quite a sad metaphor that evolved between wife and husband regarding their work didn't have kids and they started calling their paintings their children which sounds kind of cute on the surface. And if you don't have context but as josephine starts to use this metaphor to describe her own work. The disparity of equality in their marriage becomes clear. She starts calling her own paintings little bastards and stillborn infants and talks about how she's not in a mental space where she can produce a healthy anything and she describes them to galleries as not being very good but adds that she loves them just like a mother. Wood ed's paintings. She refers to as heirs joe's journal entries as she and ed reached twenty years of marriage. Together are just deeply heartbreaking. She recognizes the loss of her life to a marriage that seemed to bring neither herself nor her husband much joy in a letter to a friend. She wrote that she had kept her news out of the art world and that she quote has come through with absolutely nothing she also wrote about how she felt that ed had always controlled her. It had come out at this point in their marriage that he had wished that she would have just stopped painting when they married and she felt completely betrayed by this she wrote quote he certainly knew all the subtle ways of killing the art instinct in me the shock of learning that he had any such wish way back when we were first married nearly did the things incredible so unspeakably low down and so in direct contradiction of all his attitude before we married. The ghastliness of this one can't quite ever outlive. Joe is in her early sixties at that time and seeing her husband's struggled to find inspiration. She grew even sadder that she had given up so much of herself in his interest. She wrote quote. I've probably changed. I used to have so many friends. But then i've been seeing only his friends of late years and people annoyed at him turning them down on juries to take it out on me. Naturally she knew the pain of not being selected by her husband on a jury he had also turned down her work in a similar situation when the couple marked twenty five years of marriage together. Joe said that they should get a quote quad quadir a medal for distinguished combat. Ed in response created a code arms for them featuring a rolling pin and a ladle in reference to household items that they had used to strike one another in her journal at the time she notes sadly all that she felt she had lost in their quarter century together writing quote time passing passing. Drop by drop of one's life blood hair grain fashions changing an entirely new slant on art rampant and twenty five years of my life. Gone when joe is seventy five. She got us spring exhibit at a gallery run by herman gulag ten of her paintings included and she was elated to see all of her pieces together on what she called quote such a beautiful serene wall also myself and the pictures feel. They've gone to heaven hopper did not go to the opening. He said that his back was bothering him. But in a turnabout of some of his earlier assessments of joe's paintings edwards said that hers was the only good work in the showing. He sent several catalogs from the show to friends and press with notes about joe's work. Joe was described as ecstatic anytime. She visited the gallery and she would twirl around and delight. Her work was featured in the christian. Science monitor and the villager and reviews noted her paintings as transforming and elevating the scenes of domestic interiors. We have quoted a whole lot from joe's journals and it is often really unpleasant and to be honest. I left out some of the more upsetting parts because you get the idea but as often the case in unhealthy relationships when there is abuse there is often codependency and people can become convinced that their love is more important than any of the other stuff even when that other stuff is just awful and this is also reflected in joe's ratings she wrote things like quote. Ed is the very center of my universe. It's such blessedness. That edward. And i have each other surely will be allowed to go when he does. It seems that from the very beginning. Joe nicholson and edward hopper. Were so terribly mismatched. And they brought out the absolute worst in each other but they also never entertain the thought of just not being together and that conflict of love and hate was also something that joe was definitely grappling with. She also wrote quote. I can scarcely stand. Eh but how possibly live without him. She did live without him. But only briefly. Edward hopper died on may fifteenth nineteen sixty seven in their apartment at three washington square north. He was eighty five ten months later on march. Sixth nineteen sixty eight josephine hopper also died. She was buried with her husband in his hometown of nyack new york and when she died joe left the entire body of her work. And ed's to the whitney museum of american art this was a massive bequeaths men including three thousand pieces but this kind of turned out to be a tragedy of its own because for a long time. A lot of jobs work was lost because the museum didn't see her as the important artist. There was a list of her work but a lot of the paintings themselves. No one could find. Some of joe's work was attributed actually to ed and some of her pieces about eight dozen. We're kind of given away as gifts to various places like office buildings and hospitals however while researching joe for a book in two thousand writer elizabeth thompson. Leary found two hundred of her paintings. Still in the basement of the whitney even now though it's hard to find joe's work online. I know when i was looking for artwork to share in our social media for this did not find a lot. The whitney has to on their website. One is a watercolour portrait of bertram hartman. The other is an undated oil painting of wilted flowers titled obituary. Both of them beach your cats as secondary elements to the composition. Maybe that is a nod to the long lost arthur. Other paintings have surfaced including in a large gift to the province town art association and museum in twenty sixteen which included art by both joe and ed and the museum has since mounted an exhibit of their work in tandem. That gift came from a private collector. In recent years is joe story has become more well known there have been a few additional exhibitions of her work including one at the edward hopper house art center in nyack in two fourteen. If you're interested in reading more of joe's journals they're quoted extensively by art historian and author gail levin in her book edward hopper an intimate biography. Y- those journals are not publicly available. She got access to them in the archives. Were they are And it's interesting. Because it's a extensively a biography of edward hopper but it really is very much about the two of them and is kind of the first instance where joe's story really plays out through her own words very frustrating episode. Yeah workout which. He'll talk about some more behind the scenes. i'm sure. Do you have some listener. Mail idea and i wanted to do a funny one because this was such a bummer episode. This is from our listeners. Jessica towards hi tracey and holly. I recently listened to the unearth july edition. And you're related behind the scenes episode. I was tickled by. You're passionate discussion of library. Fines and can definitely relate by the way but it also reminded me of a library story of my own many years ago. I was living with a boyfriend from washington state when he had been in school in spokane. He had gone with a friend to get a library card at the local library. And for some reason. I think having to do with proper id. They refused to give him a library card. This became a big joke amongst his friends. He the most mild-mannered guy was too dangerous. Suspicious to be issued a library card. Many moons leader. He accompanied me to the library of congress where i was getting a reader's card to do some research for a paper. I was writing for law school since he was there. And i think they wouldn't let him come with me unless he had one. He applied for readers cardis well and got one as soon as we left. He took a picture and send it to his friends quote. I can get a library card for the library of congress but not the spoke in public library. Thanks as always for the work. You put into entertaining history. Levers like me. It's nice to know. I'm not alone in my nursery jessica. Thank you for this. It's so charming.

"Into the summer. Joe moved into a new studio. This was a fourth floor place with no bathroom in the vanderbilt studios and immediately. She started showing her work there. Kind of mounting her own mini shows. And she also adopted a street cat named arthur during this time. Nineteen twenty also marked. This really financially astute. Move on nickerson's part.

We say that because they had met several times before They first met in art school as we mentioned earlier. And then they had run into each other on cape cod at various artist gathering some of these summer retreats that she had started going. She really only remembered that on a previous meeting. She was kind of bummed that he didn't dance because she thought he had great dancing legs and she loved to dance she also had at least some social interaction with him in new york. Although it's a little unclear exactly how well the to knew each other before nineteen twenty-three other. They did both have art in the same show in late. Nineteen twenty two at the belle maison. Gallery of decorative arts so their paths cross repeatedly and to look at the people they were at this point in nine twenty three where they meet up in a more permanent sort of way. You would think the joe nicholson would become the famous. One and edward hopper would be more likely to recede into the background of art history. Joe had started visiting artist colonies. During the summers usually in new england and it was at one of these colonies in gloucester massachusetts that she ran into edward hopper in the summer of nineteen twenty-three at that point hopper was making his living doing etchings he considered himself an illustrator rather than a painter the first words that he said to her at the colony were apparently. Hey i saw your cat. Yesterday is arthur always traveled with joe. She really really loved cat. While the two of them had not particularly sparked earlier in their lives in any kind of way meeting in their forties at this point there early forties for both of them. They became very close friends. They started working on their art next to one. Another and joe's work in watercolor and some You know kind of prodding on her part and encouragement led ed to also start in the same medium. they went on dates and they grew closer and closer making something of an odd couple. Because ed was quite tall and joe was very petite and when they returned to new york their romance continued. They started among other things to visit a chinese restaurant that would later be featured in hoppers now. Famous painting chop suey hopper joe notes in french which was a language they used together for the rest of their lives and the autumn of nineteen twenty-three which followed the summer where the two artists had reconnected. Josephine had six of her watercolor paintings accepted into a show at the brooklyn museum. That show included painters like john singer. Sargent georgia o'keefe. When she and ed became reacquainted he had last sold a painting in nineteen thirteen. And so here it was a decade later. Nicholson decided to help him by putting in a good word for him with the museum and they included six watercolours he had produced. Wow working with her in gloucester and they bought one of his paintings critics really raved over ed's pieces in bullied. By this validation. Edward decided he was going to pursue painting in earnest and taper off of his work as an illustrator in the summer of one thousand nine hundred eighty four joe in it went back to the gloucester art colony were. They had reconnected. And this time. They went as newlyweds. There had been no engagement. The pair had a fight on july ninth over whether they would go to gloucester which was ed's choice or to cape cod. Where joe wanted to go and this argument ended with an agreement that they would go.

"At it and it reminded me that hopper has been on my list as a potential podcast topic for a very long time. Well As i started my research i realized that the episode that i really wanted to do was actually about his wife josephine nickerson. She was an artist as well but her art career kind. It gets pretty murky to the point. I'm almost vanishing after the two became a couple and that story is kind of a pandora's box situation their relationship is often discussed in these really romantic terms as like this great artistic collaboration and they did but it was not a great situation. So apologies upfront. Because this is a bummer episode for a few reasons and one of those reasons is. We have to give a warning here that we were going to be talking about domestic violence. That is a hard topic so do whatever you need to do is listener. Jump over this when if you need to It also may change your feelings about edward hopper's work if you love it. So fair warning josephine for steel nissen was born on march eighteenth. Eighteen eighty three in new york city. Their home life was pretty unconventional. Sometimes it's described as even chaotic. Her mother marianne didn't really believe rules and her father eldorado was a struggling musician and music teacher he was similarly inclines having this really unstructured parenting style. The nickerson's also moved a lot because their finances were just pretty thin all the time in one account. She also mentioned that. Her father had some anger issues as well. So it really was. Very chaotic and josephine was the second of three children. She had an older brother who died when they were still really just kids and then a younger brother named charles and the families. Only daughter was headstrong from infancy. It seemed and at one point when a family friend was visiting when she was like just a year and a half old and this family friend told marianne that she really was going to need to curtail josephine's temper. Marianne responded quote. I'll do nothing of the sort. She may need it sometime. Josephine loved books as a child but because she live this sort of surreal and unstable home life. The world's that were in those books became her reality. A lot of ways. This was so much so that she later said quote. What a shock for me to find out. Life is not like books. I who had done shakespeare at ten and loved ideas for themselves with no background for digestion. So ideas stayed ideas and fastened themselves to my backbone. When josephine who went by joe was seventeen. She enrolled in normal college of new york. That is now hunter college. It's part of the city university of new york system and this was kind of intended to put joe on a career. Path is a teacher. That was what normal college with an all. Women's student body specialized in. She studied literature and drama as well as french and latin but art was already an important part of her life. She had some of her drawings published in the school's yearbook the wisteria and the school paper. Which was called the eco. After she finished at normal school with her bachelor's degree joe moved not into teaching but to the new york. School of art there. She met robert henry who became her teacher and mentor in. Nineteen o five. Henry painted a portrait of her. And this is a life sized portrait. it's titled the art students and it shows twenty two year old nickerson in full figure. She's standing with her body facing slightly to the left of the painting but her gaze is squarely on the viewer. She's wearing what looks like a red floral dress with a white lace collar. We only see a little bit of it. And most of her figure is covered by a black smock. Her left arm which is dangling in front of her ends in a hand holding multiple artists brushes. This painting was made around the same time josephine would have met her future husband. The two of them didn't connect romantically until much later henry. I wrote about the moment that he was inspired to paint jobs. Portrait saying quote. She was standing in her old paint spattered apron at the close of the lesson with her. Paintbrushes clutched firmly in her little fist. Listening to a conversation she seemed a little human question mark and everything about her. Even the line of the dress suggested the idea. I wanted to paint her just as she was. And i asked her to pose for me the next day i was afraid she couldn't assume the same pose in the same look but it happened that as she entered my studio. She fell into the same energetic questioning attitude. I had to paint very rapidly to get it. After davison graduated from art school. She managed to make living as an artist. She did okay. She sold drawings to various periodicals to make ends meet that included the evening. Post and the new york tribune. She also taught art in elementary schools. And that's a job. She held for years. Yes should more than a decade of teaching experience in her life but though she was teaching kids the basics by day and how to express themselves in her spare time she was engaging with the avenue garde art scene of new york and specifically in greenwich village and she was into the arts beyond her painting though she also danced an she eventually started appearing in plays with the washington square players. She also continued to be mentored as an artist by robert henry and in nineteen o seven. She went to holland to take landscape and portrait painting classes that he was teaching there she also went to paris and italy on that trip and the art works she saw in europe really opened her eyes to the world of modern art at the age of thirty joe continued to live at home but in nineteen o nine when she was still in her late twenties her father died and then her mother and brother moved to rhode island years leader to live with her. Mother's sisters joe at this point chose to stay in new york She loved new york and would later say in her life like it was such a happy accident that she an artist got to be born in new york and didn't have to fight her way there And she lived a non-family roommate for the first time in her life. Just seems to have been pretty happy during this time. She was outgoing. She circle of friends and the art community but though she was very progressive and really quite liberal in her us she was behaviorally quite conservative. She was not a party girl by any means she didn't drink. She didn't have any serious romantic relationships and when she had friends over for parties she served tea instead of cocktails. She had her first group show at the age of thirty one that was in nineteen fourteen and this was no small affair in terms of historical art placement alongside her work. Where pieces by man. Ray and william zora as well as others. She spent the second half of the nineteenth teaching appearing on stage and then in one thousand nine hundred eighteen volunteering for the red cross. She was shipped off to france where she was assigned to work in occupational therapy in the hospital at bodas air but she got severe bronchitis and was admitted to the hospital as a patient not long after she arrived in late. Nineteen eighteen by the end of january nineteen nineteen. She was back in new york for recovery and after several weeks she was deemed unfit to return to work. In france she had also during this time lost her teaching job. She had taken a leave of absence so she could do that. Red cross work but the board of education did not hold her job for her and soon she was scrambling to make ends meet. I have to wonder if some of this isn't a calendar logistics issue like. They're like we didn't know you were coming right. Back right What is she was expected to be gone for quite a while so she ended up having to move into a very tiny cold studio and manage to get some showings at a bookshop in the yale club building called sunrise. Turn in the nineteen twenty new york telephone directory. Joe opted to list her profession as artist she also about her age in the census that year. She shaved seven years off to claim that she was twenty nine. She also took another teaching job. She helped keep sick children at willard parker hospital up-to-date on their schoolwork unfortunately though she caught diptheria and that continued to.

"Josephine. Baker came to paris when she was just nineteen years old. It was the nineteen twenty s and. She was a performer. She already been singing and dancing in vaudeville shows across the us. Since she left home at fifteen you know she was a complicated woman who had a fight in her and the wherewithal to meave her own country because she refused to deal with the atrocities of racism and she made a life for herself in a foreign country. Which for a black woman to do even though lots of entertainers made the track. She became a star huge. Let's some big deal. You've probably actually seen pictures or watch recordings of some of the performances. That made josephine. Baker famous like the dunce of arch where she danced across the stage in a skirt. Made out of bananas critic at the time. Described it this way. She is in constant motion. Her body writhing like a snake or more precisely like dipping saxophone. Music seems to pour from her body. She lived out loud. And i love that about her. Some of the little details of her life are just like the greatest turing her stage shows that she had a cheetah who would would sometimes escape into the orchestra pit and like at an extra level of excitement to the show. That's such an amazing detail in such a you can really imagine that she cheat was a spy. Yeah just so you know what i mean. She was a spy for the british during world. War two right she. She was absolutely absolutely so you know. And there's all these things we don't know you know there's all these things we do know because you can. You can get her biography. Sound about the details of Just think about the things. We don't know you know gone unsaid. But she was a very unique woman at a very unique time in history. And i think that time in history makes her a lot more relevant also because she was pioneering. She would have been my friends in the late. Nineteen forties josephine baker bought the chateau day milad a renaissance castle in the french side. Just so our listeners can imagine it. What is the chateau look like. What is josephine baker. The chateau for me starts as you're driving up the road you can see the chateau from the distance. There are a lot of obviously chateau's in france and especially in the door don in that region. And they're all quite beautiful but the road to hearse. Place is one built with anticipation for us. But once you get inside the gates there's the gardens are absolutely beautiful and where you think they stop. You know there's little paths that lead down further inside. There are stained glass windows and winding staircases. The bathrooms have marble floors. And some of josephine's bejewelled. Gowns can be seen on display when tracy visited the chateau for the first time in two thousand twelve shoes. Already a fan of josephine baker but visiting the chateau being their alone and hearing someone's voice echoing through the halls. It connected. Tracy to josephine is sounds. I don't wanna sound weird. It wasn't until later that. I what i saw a video of her as coming out of her chateau and there's this video they show you and i was like. Oh my god. I do that. Same silly dance in front of my husband all the time having never seen her do it right and so the woman at the house said to me you know a lot of black women come here and feel like they can feel the spirit of her which is the whole reason for the pilgrim a pilgrimage really is and then i thought i need to take women out on this pilgrimage because this is a whole 'nother level is a whole new level of experience. Tracy started a travel business and the first trip. She organized was for just two women but with every new experience more and more women wanted to sign up and it was usually women that were over fifty that maybe had taken care of their families their whole lives or children or grandchildren and had finally given themselves permission to go out into the world. Some of them getting their first passports often their first opportunities outside of the united states. And so i was really proud of that. Tracy returned to josephine chateau over and over again and as she introduced new people to the castle eat introduced new people to her. Even met one of josephine suns once when she was visiting and since she's become friends with the castles current owner because we should note even though josephine baker loved this castle she ultimately lost ownership of it by nineteen sixty four josephine baker was in debt. She'd spent her money pretty generously. But you'd also been taken advantage of so. The chateau was put up for auction. Josephine was devastated. She barricaded herself in the kitchen and refuse to leave but the new owner had her forcibly removed. Jews week in shock and ended up being hospitalized her friend.

Streaming music services fighting for your ears
"Has never been more important. You see in the new world of streaming If an artist can create that perfect single, their song will be streamed billions and billions of times, making them anywhere from 2 to $3. Welcome back to for my Mariana Trail that was comedian Trevor Noah, making a music streaming joke while hosting last month's Grammy Awards ceremony. This hour. We've been talking about artist compensation in the age of music streaming and in the age of the pandemic, I'm talking with Cody Fitzgerald and Josephine Shetty, both co founders of the Union of musicians and Allied Workers. And both musicians themselves. Josh can the CEO at Band Camp and not still going? Oh Sky associate editor here at KQED for KQED Arts So Trevor Noah joke on a stage like the Grammy shows that there's pop culture level awareness enough to make a joke that you know the audience will get nasty. Do you think this could be an inflection point? Culturally, where organizing efforts can maybe move the needle on artist? Compensation? Is this movement that will gain momentum? You think Radio. I think for so long music and art in general, such an individualistic pursue and then also not to mention artist kind of a lot of the time feel pressure to project this image of financial success, which makes it really hard to transparently talk about the economic realities of music. So I think just the fact that artists are building collective power and just talking about how much they make out in the open and identifying as workers is actually a big cultural shift, But I think we'll make this Conversation.

How Libraries Can Help You Learn, Connect and Grow With Rebecca Stoltz
"I am excited today. Because you've got a guest on. This is a guess as a little out of the box. From who've you brought on before. And i'm really excited that rebecca salsas here and What what are you guys talking about today. yes so. I'm really excited. That rebecca was able to join us today. Rebecca is the executive director of the josephine county Library foundation and is really an integral part. The library there in just being county. Where grants pass. Where i live is located. And i just wanted to spend some time talking with rebecca about the value that libraries bring to our community and to our lives and so rebecca. Thank you so much for being here. Absolutely thank you for having me ma. It's our pleasure our pleasure so We tell us just a little bit about how long you've been working with the library and What your position entails right now so i have been through. Many different transitions At our library. And i've been working about eight years back. When the library was a nonprofit i was doing the fundraising and now i've transitioned over to the library foundation and i'm not the executive director and my job is to help raise funds to support special programs and things that are outside of the library. District's budget very nice. Very nice and and i know there's a long history there with what happened in josephine county with the library system Do you want to just give a brief overview of that of what happened to it. Seems like almost twenty years ago now with libraries being defended and then what what happened in the community after that absolutely so in two thousand and eight the libraries were closed and e funded and the community really rallied. They wanted to have a library in their communities so it was a grassroots efforts and they raced funds and was able to st- originally started out of you know checking out. Books are lending out books in their vehicles in a parking lot and then they were able to raise enough money to open up. The libraries and tons of work was involved with that and our library system. Which has four branches. One in grants pass one in williams one out in the ohio valley and one out of wolf creek operated as a nonprofit for ten years so phenomenal work. I'm and it was really exciting to see a community so passionate and really finding the value of libraries in a community because there there weren't a whole lot of libraries being run as nonprofits at that time. We're there no. Our library system is kind of like a unicorn very unique. We had over three hundred volunteers at one time. Doing all of that work which is just amazing. And even within it becoming a nonprofit. There were still three over three hundred volunteers that were checking in books. Checking out books doing all of that work. In fact we have about two hundred fifty volunteers. That still are doing that. Work today. so wonderful i my. My sister has has volunteered to the library. Here for years before covid. Kind of shut down the the day to day operations of checking in and out books but What what. I wanted to kind of touch on i. I remember this is this is my embarrassing story is probably sixteen. Seventeen years ago. I was much younger and definitely not as wise and i was standing in line at a community event here in jackson county and we were at the library and i had made an offhand comment about. Why do people need libraries anymore. and what. i didn't realize. I was standing right behind. One of the board members for the jackson county library and she took me to task for about five minutes explaining the value of libraries to the community. So i would love for you to just take a minute And i'm gonna humbly ask why our library still relevant today. It's a great question and we hear it quite often. Actually you know not. Everyone has the same resources in today's world and libraries are the technology access points for so many people and we see that even more now that we've endured through a pandemic and libraries as a whole. There's just so much more than book. Repositories the cultural and community centers. And our library here in grants pass even attracts more foot traffic then the local post office so when you think about all those long lines in the post office and how busy it always. Is your library here. Josephine community library is is busier than that. And really we service as venues for community meetings host workshops from anything of you wanna learn about coating to changing a tire and i could also take a task for a long time about the importance of libraries. But just a couple numbers to run by. You is each month. More than twenty. Two thousand items are checked out. And they're in homes within our community and in a county where at least a third of our residents don't have computer or internet access at home patrons lock more than fifteen thousand computer sessions in a year and have nearly forty three thousand personal devices. Connect to the library's wifi so it is a library is so much more than just books in building. It's really an important piece of the community where people can connect and grow. I just can't agree more promptly. What got me back into. The library was have having a daughter. She's six now. You know taking her back to the library to have those experiences in the children's roman being able to kind of just see the books touch the books and kind of just have that that feel of what a library feels like is just phenomenal. I know you. There's just so many Children's programs happening at the library is as well absolutely and we have families with kids of all ages coming to participate. Whether it's our summer reading program we have sensory story times the dolly parton imagination library program or registering kits through josephine county to receive free books. Mail to them Every month and and that that is just such a fantastic program. That was a partnership. I think with The library in rotary there in josephine county. If i'm correct but That is really phenomenal. That is any any family can sign up for it. Any child and from birth to five years old every month. They get a new book in the mail. Mail to them. Yeah it's it's wonderful and we have over two thousand kids currently receiving books every month in josephine county through that program and and thanks to all for the rotary groups in grants pass and and the many funders of that program.

Caleb Barlow Discusses Healthcare Industry Ransomware Attacks and Measures to Prevent Cybercrimes
"Welcome to the healthcare policy podcast on the host David Intra Cosso. This podcast discussed cybercrime or ransomware attacks against hospitals and other healthcare providers with Collab- Barlow CEO Synergistic Tech this barlow welcome to the program. Hey pleasure to be here. David. Mr Biles vile is, of course, posted on the podcast website. On background computer or cybercrimes against healthcare providers, more of a hospitals, disabled computer networks holding them for ransom. Frequently for Bitcoin fee, the tax have been prevalent since at least two, thousand and ten. This past month however, universal health services with over four hundred locations. Over in the US suffered a cyber attack disabling it's company wide computer network causing some it's hospitals to revert to pen and paper recordkeeping also last month the first known death. Resulted from a ransomware attack in Germany when a patient did not survive transferred to another hospital. Though a twenty nineteen hhs report found between twenty, twelve and sixteen. Hospital deaths increased after ransomware attacks. Earlier this month covid nineteen VACs. A covid nineteen vaccine trial was delayed by more attack or at least one. Likely. The most costly ransomware attack was to the UK's national health service in seventeen that amounted to an estimated one, hundred, twenty, million in it costs and lost productivity. ransomware attacks are on the increase especially amongst small hospitals, particularly vulnerable to phishing attacks, lasting upwards of tumor weeks because of their lean or inadequate security support. As Josephine Wolf noted in October Seventeen New York Times editorial quote Unquote cybersecurity shortcomings in the healthcare sector needs to be addressed now. More than ever when medical care is increasingly being offered via remote online formats. In twenty twenty states introduced more than two hundred and eighty cybersecurity related bills enacting several related to task forces or commissions training. Cybersecurity insurance in criminal. Penalties. The US Senate and House passed seven cybersecurity bills whoever not specifically addressed the healthcare industry and none became law. With me again and discuss healthcare cybersecurity is synergise texts, CEO. COLLAB- Barlow so club with that. As background LET'S START WITH A. Primer Info. I've read these ransomware products. in part are. Titled or named Wannacry Laki Win Plock encrypt locker. Are some these known ransomware product. So my question is, how do these encrypt clinical data and to what effect? So. So basically, what happening if you look at ransomware incident is a you know a narrow will gets access to a network and that could be as simple as grabbing somebody's credentials. You know maybe you were on a retail site, use the same credentials you used at work that retail site was compromised and There are many locations on the dark web that will. Sell compromised credentials or could have been through a phishing attack once the bad guy is into the network then there's two primary things that they're looking to do first is to move laterally. They WANNA get as much access across the networks they can, and there are a variety of tools that they'll deploy. They will actually help them harvest additional credentials once they've got a beachhead. On, the network in addition to harvesting new credentials and kind of moving lateral or what we call lateral movement. The other thing that are going to do is to try to elevate their privilege. So going from maybe an administrator or you know a nurse and triage and maybe getting access to their credentials, they're going to try to work their way up to a network. Administrator or someone that controls access to the whole domain once they've been able to get in and move their tentacles around the organization, then they're going to deploy their payroll, which is one of several of the tools that you mentioned will allow them to then lock things up effectively what these tools, our cryptographic tools, and they basically take the entire hard drive at the device. Scramble it and lock it up with a cryptographic key. What we've seen of late is the bad guys oftentimes insert a new step just before scrambling data, locking it all up in that the exfiltrated lot of it, and they're using that to increase their chances of getting paid by potentially threatening to. The organization by releasing that data if they don't pay ransom. Okay. Thank you so. I in my reading. It's uncertain Saul. Asked you this question? What's your understanding? How frequently? Is this occurring in the healthcare sector? Oh, it's every day I mean literally every single day because you got to remember what you read about in the news is only a very small fraction of what's actually going on even though technically speaking ransomware incident is as far as I'm concerned reportable incident because you gotta remember if the bad guy had enough access to walk up your data, they had the same level of access needed to read the data and they actually in many cases had the same level access needed to change the data. So the problem is you've actually lost control of that system when you've had a ransomware incident. I. So that was that was a question I did have. Other than. Possibly, making this data public and you know healthcare data's is is is confidential proprietary, of course. What do they typically do this data other than hold it hostage? Well remember, this is a organized crime. It is a volume organization you're dealing with a human on the other end and that human is organized right. You're not the only target, their targeting dozens of organizations at the same time in many cases are teams of thirty individuals and you know there's a breakdown on that team there's a project manager of a boss. There's people that are responsible for getting access. There's people that are responsible for moving laterally people responsible for elevating credentials and people are responsible for negotiating. Once walked up system

"On background computer or cybercrimes against healthcare providers, more of a hospitals, disabled computer networks holding them for ransom. Frequently for Bitcoin fee, the tax have been prevalent since at least two, thousand and ten. This past month however, universal health services with over four hundred locations. Over in the US suffered a cyber attack disabling it's company wide computer network causing some it's hospitals to revert to pen and paper recordkeeping also last month the first known death. Resulted from a ransomware attack in Germany when a patient did not survive transferred to another hospital. Though a twenty nineteen hhs report found between twenty, twelve and sixteen. Hospital deaths increased after ransomware attacks. Earlier this month covid nineteen VACs. A covid nineteen vaccine trial was delayed by more attack or at least one. Likely. The most costly ransomware attack was to the UK's national health service in seventeen that amounted to an estimated one, hundred, twenty, million in it costs and lost productivity. ransomware attacks are on the increase especially amongst small hospitals, particularly vulnerable to phishing attacks, lasting upwards of tumor weeks because of their lean or inadequate security support. As Josephine Wolf noted in October Seventeen New York Times editorial quote Unquote cybersecurity shortcomings in the healthcare sector needs to be addressed now. More than ever when medical care is increasingly being offered via remote online formats. In twenty twenty states introduced more than two hundred and eighty cybersecurity related bills enacting several related to task forces or commissions training. Cybersecurity insurance in criminal. Penalties. The US Senate and House passed seven cybersecurity bills whoever not specifically addressed the healthcare industry and none became law. With me again and discuss healthcare cybersecurity is synergise texts, CEO. COLLAB- Barlow so club with that. As background LET'S START WITH A. Primer Info. I've read these ransomware products. in part are. Titled or named Wannacry Laki Win Plock encrypt locker. Are some these known ransomware product. So my question is, how do these encrypt clinical data and to what effect? So. So basically, what happening if you look at ransomware incident is a you know a narrow will gets access to a network and that could be as simple as grabbing somebody's credentials. You know maybe you were on a retail site, use the same credentials you used at work that retail site was compromised and There are many locations on the dark web that will. Sell compromised credentials or could have been through a phishing attack once the bad guy is into the network then there's two primary things that they're looking to do first is to move laterally. They WANNA get as much access across the networks they can, and there are a variety of tools that they'll deploy. They will actually help them harvest additional credentials once they've got a beachhead. On, the network in addition to harvesting new credentials and kind of moving lateral or what we call lateral movement. The other thing that are going to do is to try to elevate their privilege. So going from maybe an administrator or you know a nurse and triage and maybe getting access to their credentials, they're going to try to work their way up to a network. Administrator or someone that controls access to the whole domain once they've been able to get in and move their tentacles around the organization, then they're going to deploy their payroll, which is one of several of the tools that you mentioned will allow them to then lock things up effectively what these tools, our cryptographic tools, and they basically take the entire hard drive at the device.

A Love Letter to Short Men
"DOT COM and at her website Carlin Betcha. Dot Com and here is a love letter to short men. Your height is not an issue unless you make it one. It's one of the most common openers I see on dating apps a man's height. It's usually the first thing men list and sometimes height is the only thing listed. Yep just height nothing else as if those two numbers measured in feet and inches contain multitudes. I understand why it happens. We are a society obsessed with looks we treat beauty and both genders as a currency attractive people make more money are viewed as more agreeable and somehow more valuable. This is part of the halo effect, a psychology term where we assign one single trait beauty to other characteristics kindness. Personally I have never seen a woman who cares about height in fact, I find short men hot, not all of them but many. Let. Me Tell you a not hot short man's story. I recently wanted to date with a five foot five inch guy within fifteen minutes of our meeting. He ass is my height a problem. It was not until he mentioned it. I had not even looked at the height he listed on his profile. I then spent the next twenty minutes assuaging his fragile ego and explaining why many women like short men it was exhausting at one point I think he read the weariness in my slumped shoulders and tried to self correct. I'm only asking because you're right about love and sex. Sure if you went on a date with a dermatologist, would you ask her to examine the fungus between your toes? I didn't say that, but I wanted to my sarcasm is a feral beast. Then, there are the many many short guys who lie about their height. You know who you are. I once went on a date with a guy claiming to be five foot eight inches. He was five foot four inches. That's a four inch lie. If we're keeping track I wore three inch heels for that date that put me at five feet eight inches. Greeted him with a hug. This was pre pandemic days his head landed on my chest. Awkward. For most women height is not a deal breaker but lying is So. Here it is short men the painful truth your height is not the Lady Boehner killer. You think it is it your lack of confidence that makes women's ovaries shrivel up and never want to go on another date again, I have dated a lot of sexy short men and they all had one thing in common nothing to prove when Tom Cruise five foot seven inches was sexiest man alive multiple times. Did anyone add a footnote sexy for a short Guy Hell? No. When Bruno Mars five, foot five inches shakes what his momma gave him are women getting out there measuring. Sticks Adriano. then. There's Napoleon. Napoleon. Never had complex about his height nor was he even really that short you can feel his confidence oozing out of the impatient love letters. He wrote to Josephine one read a kiss on your heart and one much lower down much lower. Nowhere in that letter, will you find a postscript saying unless my height makes you not in the mood? Yet Napoleon somehow got his name attached to the height inferiority complex known as the Napoleon. Complex. The Napoleon Complex states that short men tend to be more aggressive lie more and try to compensate for their short stature by being exceptionally cruel. But researchers found the opposite to be true. One study from Nyu phone short men are thirty two percent less likely to divorce than tolman. The study also found women married to short men reported greater happiness and short men did more housework than tolman. Yes. There is a correlation between happiness and a freshly floor. Clearly short men are doing something, right? I pulled over twenty of my most dateable girlfriends for this article I asked the same question. Are you attracted to short men most had similar answer? It depends on the guy that's a nice way of saying that is not the package. It's the meat inside. So
