Michael Renna is accused of being liable for the heroin-overdose death of a man at a Rumson rehab home in 2013.
The Monmouth County grand jury indicted the Avon-By-The-Sea man on the charges of strict liability for a drug-induced death and distribution of a controlled dangerous substance, according to a release from the office of Acting Monmouth County Prosecutor Christopher J. Gramiccioni. The charges are connected to the October 2013 death of 25-year-old Christopher L. Pesce.
On Oct. 13, 2013, Rumson police officers went to Oxford House on South Ward Avenue at about 8:15 p.m. There they found Pesce dead. Investigators determined that he died due to "acute heroin toxicity," the release said.
Police and authorities from the prosecutor's office determined he got the fatal doses of heroin from Renna, an acquaintance, in Asbury Park the night before, the release said.
Renna was originally charged on Aug. 22, 2014. His bail was set at $200,000 with no option to pay 10 percent. His bail was posted Aug. 25, 2014 and he remains free.

"You've got to admit, the Bible is sexist," is a variation of argumentation I have heard many times over the past few years for why Christianity is outdated and discriminatory. For so long, I have not known what to say in response to this phrase.
It's something I knew wasn't true, but I wasn't sure how to put my feelings into words. I wasn't sure where to turn. I retreated to sending videos of other pastors explaining the points I couldn't quite get out of my mouth.
It wasn't until I was in premarital counseling, chatting about my and Austin's varying roles in our marriage that I started to consider how freeing and empowering it is to be a woman in the context of the Bible. You see, for years, I knew mostly how Scripture had been used out of context to hurt people. I knew that women weren't supposed to do certain things. I knew that the Bible talked mostly to men, but I didn't know why.
I didn't see that the roles God created for men and women were perfect in their correct context. I didn't see that it was the sin that caused sexism to take over.
What is really the difference between men and woman?
Were men in the Bible sexist?
Do women really have to submit?
What is my role as a woman as a wife? a daughter? What about when I am single?
You see, from the beginning of time, womanhood has been skewed.
Take Eve for example. Satan first went to her because He saw her as weak. He knew that God had first entrusted Adam with the information of which tree was off limits. He chose to play her.
And she fell for it. She fell for the lie that something besides God could give her power. Something in this world could strengthen her more than her Father could.
And her husband stood beside her and neglected his responsibility by refusing to step in. He wanted that power too. He wanted to lift himself more than he wanted to protect his wife.
This was the beginning of a very screwed up relationship between men and women and this world and how we feel about God.
A brokenness was brought into relationships between men and women.
Hannah: Womanhood is staying constant in faith despite the failings of our leaders.
Mary: Womanhood is fearless submission in its correct context (We will discuss what submission is and what it is not this week).
Martha and Mary: Womanhood is knowing when to work and when to sit.
Mary Magdelin: Womanhood is boldness and strength for the sake of Christ's Cross.
All these women have a few things in common. 1) Most of their names were Mary. Hah. 2) They all were sinners and had weaknesses. 3) They were all let down by men. 4) They all let men down. 5) They all needed to be redeemed by someone stronger than them.
But guess what? That man was not a husband or a father or a boss. That man was Jesus. That man was the ultimate picture of submission. The story of the Bible is a beautiful story, my sister. The daughter's story is a story of strength beyond her own ability. The daughter of Christ is unique in her ability. She is strong where her brother is weak.
And the story of the brother is that he is strong where his sister is weak.
God gave us uniqueness. He gave us strengths. No strength is better of another. If you will stick around for the next four weeks, I would love to break that down for your heart. Maybe you still think, "The Bible is sexist". Maybe you think, "There's no such thing as sexism".
I want to convince you that both of those "truths" are lies.
I want to show you the better story Christ has written for us daughters than the story that the world prescribes for us.

It is one that I am often afraid to engage in.

From a very early age I was interested in beauty! I always found it super fun and rewarding to make people look and feel great. My journey did not take the typical path, and I am not a typical hair stylist. I was a successful producer for 10 years, and began that career in the place where I am from, Australia. Producing, for me, was always a means to an end and not my higher purpose. I felt intrinsically drawn to NYC, the way I have always been drawn to hair, fashion and beauty. My passion for hair has always been my foundation, and it has always been personal. With the goal of working to save up and get my Green card, my mission from there on out was to live my dream. I made a "hairpin turn' towards my passions and I feel fortunate to do what I love, and inspired by the creative people I am surrounded by every day.
I am drawn to editorial styling, and made that my focus throughout cosmetology school where I assisted editorial stylists for free and worked to get my name out there, including on agency stylist assistant rosters. Since May 2014, I've networked and hustled nonstop to meet and learn from as many stylists, photographers, makeup artists to form a network of incredible people to collaborate with. With work I've assisted on and done published in Fault Magazine, Grazia Italia Magazine, Pitch-Present Magazine, New Yorker Magazine, and Refinery 29, I am truly starting to live my dream.
I researched every cosmetology school in NYC and was drawn to ARROJO by the modern, fresh look of the school, the smaller class sizes, and extensive curriculum that goes above and beyond the other schools.
The teachers were amazing and they really gave me the confidence to explore my creativity and give me the skills to grow as a stylist. The experience in the student salon was so good to really put what I'd learned into the real world and just go for it!
Be confident in yourself and be open to all opportunities the course throws at you! You really get out what you put in. Most importantly, listen and learn from the teachers, I personally learned great tips and tricks from each and every educator.

LOS ANGELES (AP) The Los Angeles Lakers have signed guard David Nwaba from their NBA Development League affiliate.
Nwaba was in uniform on Tuesday night against the Charlotte Hornets.
Nwaba has averaged 13.9 points, 7.0 rebounds and 1.1 assists in 38 games for the Los Angeles D-Fenders.
Lakers coach Luke Walton says Nwaba earned the call-up with his defensive play.
Nwaba takes the roster spot created by the Lakers' buyout of Spanish guard Jose Calderon.
Nwaba also grew up in Los Angeles, attending University High School and Santa Monica College before finishing his collegiate career at Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo.

Amy Koshoffer Named to the 2019 Cohort of TRELIS Fellows
Amy Koshoffer, science informationist in the Geology-Mathematics-Physics Library, was named to the 2019 cohort of TRELIS Fellows. Amy will join colleagues from around the country in Washington, D.C. at a workshop designed for professional development for women educators in geospatial sciences.
Below is the press release issued by TRELIS naming Amy to the cohort. Congratulations!
In June 2019, the TRELIS project, Training and Retaining Leaders in STEM-Geospatial Sciences, will hold its second workshop in Washington, D.C. TRELIS is a unique model for professional development for women educators in the geospatial sciences. The program builds leadership capacity and skills to address career development, communication, conflict resolution, and work-life integration. With the name, we instill the concept of a human capital trellis or scaffold of support, and embrace the reality of nonlinear career trajectories that move sideways, take leaps, and do not follow a single upward ladder. There is significant demand for TRELIS-related knowledge and support in the geospatial sciences, reflected in part by the large pool of applicants to TRELIS events each year.
We are pleased to announce the following members of our 2019 cohort. These TRELIS Fellows will participate in a 3-day workshop that has been designed to target topics and concerns of early-career individuals and focus on envisioning and crafting leadership pathways. Immediately following the workshop, the TRELIS Fellows will continue their professional development exchanges during the UCGIS Symposium.

Greeks and Romans — Beware of Ides of March – καὶ σὺ τέκνον!
Today is the day of the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BCE, precipitating the death of the Republic. Below are some passages from Plutarch, Suetonius, and Shakespeare speaking of the Ides of March as well as of the assassination itself, an image and description of the most famous of Roman coins, that of a bust of one of the principal assassins, Marcus Brutus, followed by a brief bibliography of primary and secondary sources.
The Curia building by the Theater of Pompey on the present day Largo Argentina in Rome, the place of Julius Caesar's assassination. Supposedly, the place will undergo renovations and be opened to the public in a couple of years (although there have been many earlier reports to this effect), which is causing concern among the city of Rome's many cat lovers since the spot is currently inhabited by felines who have lived there, probably ever since the murder of Caesar. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/site-where-julius-caesar-was-stabbed-will-finally-open-public-180971613/?utm_source=smithsoniandaily&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=20190305-daily-responsive&spMailingID=39059296&spUserID=ODM4Njc3MTA5NjUS1&spJobID=1480462980&spReportId=MTQ4MDQ2Mjk4MAS2&fbclid=IwAR1llLQDzEH15xKhUGIe-PB25s67afhUOjMnjG6ageSAL0Hjg5hYbO9NoSU
"…ὥς τις αὐτῷ μάντις ἡμέρᾳ Μαρτίου μηνός, ἣν Εἰδοὺς Ῥωμαῖοι καλοῦσι, προείποι μέγαν φυλάττεσθαι κίνδυνον· ἐλθούσης δὲ τῆς ἡμέρας προϊὼν ὁ Καῖσαρ εἰς τὴν σύγκλητον ἀσπασάμενος προσπαίξειε τῷ μάντει φάμενος· "Αἱ μὲν δὴ Μάρτιαι Εἰδοὶ πάρεισιν," ὁ δὲ ἡσυχῆ πρὸς αὐτὸν εἴποι· "Ναὶ πάρεισιν, ἀλλ᾿οὐ παρεληλύθασι…" (Parallel Lives, Caesar 63.3-4). https://www.loebclassics.com/view/plutarch-lives_caesar/1919/pb_LCL099.443.xml?rskey=FylsHE&result=37
"A certain seer warned Caesar to be on his guard against a great peril on the day of the month of March which the Romans call the Ides; and when the day had come and Caesar was on his way to the senate-house, he greeted the seer with a jest and said: "Well, the Ides of March are come," and the seer said to him softly: "Aye, they are come, but they are not gone."
Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene II:

Caesar!
Ha! who calls?
Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.
Beware the ides of March.
What man is that?
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.
Set him before me; let me see his face.
Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.
What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.
He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.
"Assidentem conspirati specie officii circumsteterunt, ilicoque Cimber Tillius, qui primas partes susceperat, quasi aliquid rogaturus propius accessit renuentique et gestu in aliud tempus differenti ab utroque umero togam adprehendit; deinde clamantem: "Ista quidem vis est!" alter e Cascis aversum vulnerat paulum infra iugulum. Caesar Cascae brachium arreptum graphio traiecit conatusque prosilire alio vulnere tardatus est; utque animadvertit undique se strictis pugionibus peti, toga caput obvolvit, simul sinistra manu sinum ad ima crura deduxit, quo honestius caderet etiam inferiore corporis parte velata. Atque ita tribus et viginti plagis confossus est uno modo ad primum ictum gemitu sine voce edito, etsi tradiderunt quidam Marco Bruto irruenti dixisse: καὶ σὺ τέκνον; Exanimis diffugientibus cunctis aliquamdiu iacuit, donec lecticae impositum, dependente brachio, tres servoli domum rettulerunt. Nec in tot vulneribus, ut Antistius medicus existimabat, letale ullum repertum est, nisi quod secundo loco in pectore acceperat" (De Vita Caesarum, The Deified Julius 82.1-4).https://www.loebclassics.com/view/suetonius-lives_caesars_book_i_deified_julius/1914/pb_LCL031.37.xml?rskey=IIrllU&result=1
"As he took his seat, the conspirators gathered about him as if to pay their respects, and straightway Tillius Cimber, who had assumed the lead, came nearer as though to ask something; and when Caesar with a gesture put him off to another time, Cimber caught his toga by both shoulders; then as Caesar cried, "Why, this is violence!" one of the Cascas stabbed him from one side just below the throat. Caesar caught Casca's arm and ran it through with his stylus, but as he tried to leap to his feet, he was stopped by another wound. When he saw that he was beset on every side by drawn daggers, he muffled his head in his robe, and at the same time drew down its fold to his feet with his left hand, in order to fall more decently, with the lower part of his body also covered. And in this wise he was stabbed with three and twenty wounds, uttering not a word, but merely a groan at the first stroke, though some have written that when Marcus Brutus rushed at him, he said in Greek, "You too, my child?" All the conspirators made off, and he lay there lifeless for some time, until finally three common slaves put him on a litter and carried him home, with one arm hanging down. And of so many wounds none turned out to be mortal, in the opinion of the physician Antistius, except the second one in the breast."
The Most Famous of all Roman Coins!
BRVT ∙ IMP ∙ PLAET ∙ CEST with Brutus head on the obverse and EID ∙ MAR with a pileus and two daggers on the reverse.
Late summer-autumn 42 BC. AR Denarius (18mm, 3.59 g, 12h). Military mint traveling with Brutus and Cassius in western Asia Minor or northern Greece; L. Plaetorius Cestianus, magistrate. Bare head of Brutus right; BRVT above, IMP to right, L • PLAET • CEST around to left / Pileus between two daggers pointing downward; EID • MAR below. Crawford 508/3; Cahn 22 (same dies); CRI 216; Sydenham 1301; RSC 15; RBW –. Good VF, deeply toned, a little off center and minor porosity on obverse. Very rare. This extraordinary type is one of the few specific coin issues mentioned by any classical author, in this case, Dio Cassius. Roman History 47.25.3: "Brutus stamped upon the coins which were being minted his own likeness and a cap and two daggers, indicating by this and by the inscription that he and Cassius had liberated the fatherland."

UC 'Life of the Mind' Series Accepting Nominations
Life of the Mind is an annual lecture series featuring interdisciplinary conversations with UC faculty from a variety of disciplines around a one-word theme. The fall lecture, scheduled for 3-5 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 30, will focus on the theme of "next."
Life of the Mind lectures feature one faculty member presenting his or her work and expertise in concert with the prescribed theme.

Libraries' Proposal to Encourage Diversity in the Library Profession Awarded an Equity & Inclusion Incentive Grant
Regina Bourne (center), Library Human Resources and Organizational Development Director, is presented with the grant award. UC/ Joseph Fuqua II
The University of Cincinnati Libraries were awarded an Equity & Inclusion Incentive Grant for the proposal "Exploring the Diverse Career Paths within Libraries," which aims to introduce and educate minority high school students to the academic library profession for the purpose of attracting them into the profession.
Submitted by UC Libraries, in collaboration with Cincinnati Public Schools, University of Cincinnati Admissions, and partners within the library, the grant will support the creation of two half-day programs for up to 60 college-bound high school minority students from local area schools. Throughout the course of the day, the students will: take a tour of the library; meet faculty and staff with a range of skills and educational backgrounds; engage in learning activities related to library professions; learn about the experiences of student workers currently employed by the library; and gain an understanding of the multitude of career options the library has to offer.
This outreach initiative will address the current trend of retiring librarians, introduce students to diverse disciplines and cultivate interest in the library profession among the visiting students. It will also show how IT skills can be used in the library profession and educate the student visitors about library student worker jobs. Student visitors will be given flash drives uploaded with additional information about libraries to continue to engage them after the day is over.
UC Libraries' faculty, staff and student workers who help to facilitate the program will gain valuable experience and professional development in diversity and inclusion.
The university's Equity & Inclusion Incentive Grant program seeks to support collaborative efforts between colleges and units to enhance diversity and inclusion through innovative practices that align with the goals and objectives in the Diversity Plan.

Dr. Asseem Malhotra, a well-known Doctor in Britain had some choice words to say in front of the European Parliment about modern-day medical education and overall knowledge doctors possess. He's one of many who continues to emerge and speak out.
Why do doctors continue to learn nothing about nutrition? It seems they are trained to prescribe medicine and do not question what they are prescribing. They risk losing their jobs by speaking out and educating themselves.
Dr. Asseem Malhotra is known as one of the most influential cardiologists in Britain and a world-leading expert in the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease. Currently, he is leading a huge campaign against excess sugar consumption. What also makes him unique is something he recently admitted took him decades to figure out: that our entire medical system, one of the main 'protectors' of the human race, is completely corrupt. He now believes that medical education is a state of "complete system failure," causing "an epidemic of misinformed doctors." He also stated that honest doctors can no longer practice honest medicine, and that there is also a growing epidemic of patients who are being harmed.
We all have to realize that society has been manufactured in a way where we simply give up our own mind to someone else, who has been given theirs by someone else. We lack the ability to think for ourselves because, from birth, we are programmed to think a certain way by somebody else.
This is something important for us to change, and by 'us' I not only mean patients; it should be a priority for all who practice medicine. And there are signs that it has started changing. Why? Because there is a shift in consciousness taking place. People within all societal systems (health, financial, education, government, etc.) are waking up, and starting to investigate what they have been taught. Rather than simply believing the promotional literature, more are pursuing self-education (which Dr. Malhotra stressed was the only real form of education).
Malhotra pointed out seven 'sins' that contribute to the lack of knowledge that not just doctors but everyone has, including patients, regarding modern day 'medicine.' He made these comments at a recent European Parliament meeting.
There are many examples of statements and documented evidence to choose from, which is why doctors like Malhotra are speaking out. You can watch his full talk below the tweet from November 21st, 2017.
While many ordinary citizens have been awakening to the truth about misconduct, fraud, and deception in the Western Medical Establishment, it's good to see more doctors with a voice within the system are speaking out about truth! It's starting to look like these systems are no longer able to contain or censor inner dissent, bringing us closer to a time when all of our human systems will have to become beholden to truth and transparency.

The seventh edition of this classic text provides a comprehensive introduction to all aspects of ship stability and ship strength, squat, interaction and trim, materials stresses and forces.
Stability is a difficult concept to define. The idea of a stable character is readily grasped, although it is harder to put into words.

If a ship is unstable, there is immediate danger to ship, crew, passengers and the environment. Therefore, stability regulations have been established for all types of ships.
This indispensible guide to ship stability covers essential topics such as flotation and buoyancy, small angle, large angle and longitudinal stability, water density effects, bilging, ship resistance, and advanced hydrostatics.

The tenth edition of this popular guide has been completely revised and expanded to take account of the latest changes to maritime regulations and procedures. It is an invaluable reference for all who need to understand the fundamentals of business and law as they affect the day-to-day management of a commercial ship.

The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) provides a fast and efficient way of calling for assistance at sea, whatever the size of craft or its geographical position. Since it was first published, this book has helped explain the system for anyone using GMDSS and has been excellent pre-course reading for students. GMDSS: A User's Handbook has proved an invaluable reference for exam candidates.

The Torch every watch-keeper needs! This red LED torch is water resistant, rechargable and has five different modes, High, Medium, Low, Strobe and SOS.


Never has a clown made such comforting music. Mac DeMarco's crooked smile is a mine of memes and silliness, as anybody who has seen him live can confirm. However, the voice of this Canadian artist is another thing completely, the odd comment about Randy Newman has been dropped. The only thing that the author of This Old Dog seems to take seriously is building up trust with his audience, letting them know that whatever happens, he's their friend. That is why, we suppose, he shared the address of his residence in Fort Rockaway, Queens, at the end of one of his songs, personally inviting his fans to drop in and say hi and have a coffee. Thanks Mac I take mine black with one small spoonful of sugar.

1. Vatican, China extend bishop agreement over US opposition, By Nicole Winfield, Associated Press, October 22, 2020, 6:08 AM
The Vatican and China extended a controversial accord on bishop nominations Thursday over strong opposition from the White House and conservative Catholics given Beijing's crackdown on religious believers.
The Holy See and Beijing government jointly announced a two-year extension to the 2018 agreement, which expired Thursday.
The Vatican justified the extension by saying the agreement was purely ecclesiastic and pastoral in nature, not political, though it noted that continued dialogue would allow the Holy See to engage with Beijing on other problems, including human rights abuses.
The Vatican has rarely, if ever, called out China for its crackdown and other human rights abuses, and it has stayed mum during months of protests in Hong Kong.

2. Divided reactions in US as pope backs same-sex civil unions, By David Crary and Elana Schor, Associated Press, October 22, 2020
LGBTQ Catholics and their allies in the U.S. welcomed Pope Francis's endorsement of same-sex civil unions, the first time he's done so as pontiff, while some prominent members including a bishop said Wednesday that he was blatantly contradicting church teaching.
Bishop Thomas Tobin of Providence, Rhode Island, was one of the first conservative Catholic leaders to go public with criticism.
"The Pope's statement clearly contradicts what has been the long-standing teaching of the Church about same-sex unions," Tobin said in a statement. "The Church cannot support the acceptance of objectively immoral relationships."
Another teaching confines the institution of marriage to a man and a woman — and that remains intact regardless of the pope's remarks on same-sex unions, said Brian Burch, president of the conservative group CatholicVote.
Francis "has no ability to change that teaching about the permanence and exclusivity of marriage," Burch said, adding that he doesn't see the comments having "explosive relevance" in the current U.S. political climate.
"Catholics who live in communion with what the church teaches understand that marriage is written into the law of nature," Burch said. "Nothing can change that."
Father James Martin, a prominent Jesuit priest who has advocated for greater LGBTQ inclusion in the church, called the remarks momentous.

3. US Bishops Launch Novena for Election Day, By Catholic News Agency, October 22, 2020
The bishops of the United States are encouraging Catholics to pray a novena to help form their consciences ahead of Election Day on Nov. 3.
"For nine consecutive days, Monday, October 26 through Tuesday, Nov. 3, participants will be encouraged to pray one Our Father, Hail Mary, and Glory Be for the day's intention," says the USCCB's webpage for the 2020 Election Novena.
A closing prayer for elected leaders will be offered on day 10, Wednesday, November 4.
The closing prayer asks that "the leaders elected this week be guided by the Holy Spirit as they fulfill their positions."

4. Report: Vatican investigators provide evidence of payments to Italian 'security consultant', By Hannah Brockhaus, Catholic News Agency, October 21, 2020, 2:00 PM
Vatican investigators have evidence that an Italian woman accused of embezzling from the city state was paid by order of Cardinal Angelo Becciu, both while and after he was at the Secretariat of State, according to an Italian news report.
Italian news agency Adnkronos reported on Oct. 21 that it has seen a 13-page document sent by Vatican investigators to the Italian Minister of Justice, Alfonso Bonafede. The document was sent as support for the request for the extradition of Cecilia Marogna. CNA has not independently confirmed the report.

It's taken lots of hard gardening by the community in Gunnislake and now it's nearly time for planting. A sloping bank on the A-road side of St Anne's Church has been rescued from disuse, brambles and ivy to a new lease of life. With the help of church members and Gunnislake Community Matters volunteers, a community memorial garden is forming. It's on a prime site as you come down the hill into the village and when the planting has been completed, everyone will be able to enjoy the colourful shrubs and trees. One way the community is invited to be involved, if not through gardening, is to donate money to the planting fund in memory of a loved one. A memorial plaque will list all the names. They don't have to have lived in the parish.
To donate towards the planting please contact Mary Deacon on 01822 833031 or email: a.deako2@gmail.com.

What is Chicago's Vacant Building Ordinance?
Since federal protections for tenants in foreclosed properties are expiring next year, yesterday the governor signed a law extending federal protections for renters in foreclosed buildings in Illinois, Under the law, if you are renting in a building that has been foreclosed, you are entitled to the following protections: 1) The bank (or a receiver) that owns the foreclosed building, or any other person or entity that buys the building out of foreclosure, must honor your lease until it ends. 2) The bank or owner must give you at least 90 days' written notice before asking you to leave. 3) If the new owner intends to move in, however, he or she can terminate your lease upon 90 days' written notice. If you are otherwise honoring your lease and the new owner tries to evict you, you can fall back on these protections and file a case against your landlord.
It looks like 2013 might finally be the year that foreclosures start to decline. According to RealtyTrac, nationwide, lenders repossessed over 30% fewer homes last month than they did a year ago, in July of 2012. They also initiated foreclosure proceedings on nearly 40% less homes than they did in July 2012. If you look at how 2013 has gone so far, we have the fewest foreclosures this year since 2007. Of course, nearly 20% of all homes in the country that have a mortgage are still underwater. In a normal housing market, that number should not be more than 5%. And it's interesting to note, though certainly not surprising, that many of those home loans were made during the real estate boom. But overall, it's good news for the housing market. As foreclosures decline and get off the market, with any luck housing will start to thrive again!

Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing: A Call for Justice
By Nina Kennedy March 08, 2019
Harry T. Burleigh
As some of you already know, I have recently signed a contract with a publisher for the release of my first book of memoirs. Also, as I wrote in my last blog, I was recently asked to participate in a panel discussion presented by the Harry T. Burleigh Society during its conference titled "More Than the Promise of the American Myth: Rethinking Burleigh & (Ella) Sheppard in the Second Gilded Age." Other participants on the panel included the descendants of composers Harry Burleigh, Ella Sheppard, W.C. Handy, J. Rosamond Johnson, and Bob Cole. The Fisk Jubilee Singers - whose concert the Burleigh Society presented the night before at Carnegie Hall - had included my father's arrangement of the spiritual "Steal Away" on their program. So it seemed fitting to include me in a conversation on the handling of copyrights and the preservation of historic recordings, as I had produced a documentary film on my father's life along with its soundtrack CD.
Ella Sheppard
It is one thing to have an awareness of the racism and discrimination that my own parents endured; but to sit on a panel with descendants of other survivors of American racism simply intensified my emotion. Ella Sheppard's father, for example, was able to purchase his own and his daughter's freedom from their master, but was not allowed to purchase his wife's (Ella's mother's) freedom. The family was divided because of the whims of their white owners. Ella's mother was sold to a plantation in Mississippi, and her father died soon after they arrived in Ohio after escaping race-riots in Nashville; so she knew extreme poverty and starvation. She was able to make a life for herself after returning to Nashville as a composer, arranger, member of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and eventually becoming a member of the Fisk faculty. Years after the end of the Civil War, she found her elderly mother in Mississippi and brought her back to Nashville to live in her home.
Ella Sheppard and her sons, husband, and mother
We are still struggling to make sure that Ella Sheppard receives credit for her work, since her name did not appear on many of her arrangements. I suppose she considered herself to be an employee of the Fisk School and the Jubilee Singers, and did not think in terms of royalties or credit as composer or arranger in perpetuity. (Was a single black woman even able to open a bank account back then?) Wikipedia repeatedly removes material that I have included in her article, because they claim there is not enough "historical evidence." The struggles of black women never end!
Harry Burleigh's grandfather also had to purchase his own freedom. His daughter (Harry's mother) was a school teacher, but was denied a teaching position in her home town of Erie, Pennsylvania because of her race. She taught, however, at the local Colored School for many years. She also worked as a maid to make ends meet. Burleigh sang the spirituals that had been arranged by Ella Sheppard, and sung and recorded by the Fisk Jubilee Singers, for Czech composer Antonín Dvořák, whose melodies he ultimately utilized in his Symphony "From the New World". Dvořák received tremendous compensation and fame for his composition. Not so for Ella Sheppard or the Fisk Jubilee Singers.
W.C. Handy, J. Rosamond Johnson, and Bob Cole enjoyed fame and success as composers of musicals, ragtime hits, and vaudeville tunes. (Bob Cole, however, suffered from clinical depression and ultimately committed suicide.) J. Rosamond Johnson, along with his brother James Weldon Johnson, composed the famous "Negro National Anthem" Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing. In spite of institutionalized racism and legal segregation, these men were able to leave sizable estates to their descendants.
J. Rosamond Johnson and James Weldon Johnson
My parents, on the other hand, pursued careers in classical music. The doors controlled by symphony orchestras, concert artist managers, and classical concert agencies were repeatedly slammed in their faces. Early in my mother's career she had been engaged to appear as piano soloist with her home town orchestra in Charleston, West Virginia. A few months before the concert was scheduled, the conductor who had engaged her died suddenly, and was replaced by an avowed racist who cancelled her contract. This broke her heart. My father said that she never fully recovered from this.
Natalie Hinderas
While in college I briefly studied with American pianist Natalie Hinderas (born Henderson) who took a Spanish-sounding name to keep classical audiences from knowing that she was African-American. She, too, had been engaged to appear as piano soloist with the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. But when the symphony board saw her picture and realized that she was black, her contract was cancelled.¹
And now that we all finally know about jazz pianist Don Shirley - that his first love was Chopin, and his manager Sol Hurok refused to engage him as a classical soloist. Later in his life, Shirley was enraged at white America. "They wanted me to wear overalls, a red bandanna, and a straw hat! That's what they tried to do to me!" said the musical genius about the cover artwork for his album.
My parents desperately needed to believe that times had changed and that the doors that had been closed to them would open for me. Such was not the case in this country. Granted I managed to secure more orchestral engagements than they had, but the doors to the major artist management firms were still closed. I have seen former Juilliard schoolmates - some of whom were barely qualified - enjoy success and fabulous salaries simply because they were white men. American audiences are being cheated because of old, out-dated thinking. Some of our best and brightest talents are not being heard today because of a pervasive racism that is now being exacerbated under the Trump administration.
Today I am writing this in the aftermath of another "not guilty" verdict of the police officers in Sacramento who murdered another unarmed, innocent, African-American man. My anger is boiling over. This country needs to step up and face the injustices that She has perpetrated on Her own people.
Meanwhile, stay tuned for details surrounding my book launch. That book is gonna be a doozy!

Khatia Buniatishvili: Beyoncé of Piano?
By INFEMNITY August 31, 2017
Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili April Gibson and Nina Kennedy both contributed to this article to share their respective insights and opinions. April grew up listening to Hip Hop, Pop, R&B, and Hair Bands. Nina, herself a classical pianist, grew up listening to jazz and R&B, as well as symphonies and opera. Nina: While living in Paris I got in the habit of watching the news channel "France24," and was delighted to find that I continued having access to France24 here in Manhattan. Now that most American news channels have become The Trump Show, I became more dependent on France24 to be able to hear some authentic international news. One day this summer while going about my business with the TV on, I heard the news anchor announce a feature story on "The Beyonc é of the Piano." I stopped what I was doing to sit down and watch. The subject of this segment was world-renowned Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili, who has been referred to as "The B

The Fisk Jubilee Singers at Carnegie Hall
By Nina Kennedy July 08, 2018
As you probably know, I am currently going through boxes and papers preparing for the publication of my first book of memoirs. Today I thought I would share with you this New York Times review of the Fisk Jubilee Singers' 1980 Carnegie Hall concert with my father as director and my mother as piano accompanist.
Metropolitan Opera: You're on Notice!
The Metropolitan Opera A friend said to me the other day, "With all of your talent and accomplishments, if you'd been born white and male, you'd be a billionaire by now!" I thought about it, and realized that she was right. I've had to contend with racism in some form or other every day of my life, to say nothing of the sexism. I've watched my white colleagues take advantage of having powerful family connections. I've watched as my Jewish friends have made influential contacts at their synagogues. I've read how powerful white male conductors have mentored and invited my young white male colleagues to fill life-changing appointments. White friends have been invited to fill faculty positions at conservatories and summer festivals, and no one seems to notice that these faculties are lily-white, or that they don't represent the racial diversity of our nation. Now that most concerts and performances have been cancelled for the rest of the ye
New York Times Review of Matthew Kennedy's New York Debut Recital
By Nina Kennedy August 22, 2018
While searching through more boxes, I found these two articles. Both are reviews of my father's New York Recital debut in 1958. The first is from The New York Times , the second from the New York Herald Tribune.
The Fisk Jubilee Singers at the Kennedy Center
Matthew Kennedy directing the Fisk Jubilee Singers of 1971-72 Again for posterity (since all of the articles appearing in this blog can be found online in perpetuity), here is the review of the Fisk Jubilee Singers' concert at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington D.C. as it appeared in Down Beat Magazine in 1972. It is listed in the Down Beat magazine archives .

Anne Gamble In honor of my mother's birthday, please enjoy this review from The Nashville Banner dated March 3, 1958.
"SIDELINES" by Artist Jessica Spence
Congratulations to visual artist Jessica Spence, whose exhibit SIDELINES opened last night at the 14th Street Y in Manhattan. Quoting her website: "Jessica Spence is a Jamaican-American artist whose work is inspired by her life and topics relating to black female identity. She received her B.A. from Hartwick College in Oneonta, NY for Studio Art, and is currently pursuing an M.A. in Art Education with a concentration in Painting from Lehman College, The City University of New York (CUNY). She works predominantly in portraiture and is based in New York." The exhibition SIDELINES "... examines societal standards of beauty as they relate to black women. This series of paintings places a spotlight on the marginalization of women of color and the push back they receive while wearing natural hair styles." The exhibit opening took place at The Gallery at the 14th Street Y (344 E. 14th Street in Manhattan), and will be open for viewing through October 8th. Cli
Valerie Simpson to Receive Fisk Jubilee Singers Heritage Award

Valerie Simpson, along with her late husband Nick Ashford, composed and performed some of America's most recognizable tunes, including "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Solid As a Rock," "I'm Every Woman," among others. She will present a full concert as part of this fundraising event. Tickets can be purchased at the "FJSA Present The 2018 Heritage Award" Facebook group.
An Excerpt from "Practicing for Love: A Memoir" by Nina Kennedy
By Nina Kennedy November 16, 2019
In the wake of the widely publicized sexual-abuse claims brought by violinist Lara St. John against the late Jascha Brodsky, her violin teacher at the Curtis Institute of Music (read the article here ), I decided that it was time to share my own story of abuse that took place when I was a student there. Nina Kennedy at age 9 The kinds of abuse I endured there were verbal and emotional. The perpetrator was clearly a racist, but I did not have the skills at the time to handle such abuse. It was devastating when it became clear to me that my teacher was not going to help me pursue a career, because a concert career was all I had ever imagined for myself. It had been my parents' dream for me, and their mothers' dreams of both of them. Little did I know that this one racist, elderly white woman set out to crush their dreams, and to destroy me in the process. The year I auditioned to enter the Curtis Institute of Music there were three openings in the piano departme

Elizabeth Maplesden Ramsey (1906-1993)
Physician and pathologist Elizabeth Maplesden Ramsey was a member of the Carnegie Institution of Washington (CIW) for thirty-nine years. The affiliation began in 1934, when Ramsey discovered what was assumed to be the youngest-known embryo at the time, and donated it to CIW's massive embryo collection. After studying embryos, Ramsey focused her research on placental circulation in primates.
John von Neumann (1903-1957)
John von Neumann was a Hungarian mathematician who made important contributions to mathematics, physics, computer science, and the area of artificial life. He was born in Budapest, Hungary, on 28 December 1903. His mother was Margit von Neumann and his father was Max von Neumann. His work on artificial life focused on the problem of the self-reproduction of machines. Von Neumann initially discussed self-reproducing machines in his Hixon Symposium paper "The General and Logical Theory of Automata" published in 1948.
Ross Granville Harrison (1870-1959)
A pioneer in experimental embryology, Ross Granville Harrison made numerous discoveries that advanced biology. One of the most significant was his adaptation of the hanging drop method from bacteriology to carry out the first tissue culture. This method allowed for further studies in embryology as well as experimental improvements in oncology, virology, genetics, and a number of other fields.
Thomas Hunt Morgan (1866-1945)
Although best known for his work with the fruit fly, for which he earned a Nobel Prize and the title "The Father of Genetics," Thomas Hunt Morgan's contributions to biology reach far beyond genetics. His research explored questions in embryology, regeneration, evolution, and heredity, using a variety of approaches.
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (1834-1919)
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel was a prominent comparative anatomist and active lecturer in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He is most well known for his descriptions of phylogenetic trees, studies of radiolarians, and illustrations of vertebrate embryos to support his biogenetic law and Darwin's work with evolution. Haeckel aggressively argued that the development of an embryo repeats or recapitulates the progressive stages of lower life forms and that by studying embryonic development one could thus study the evolutionary history of life on earth.
St. George Jackson Mivart (1827-1900)
St. George Jackson Mivart studied animals and worked in England during the nineteenth century. He also proposed a theory of organismal development that he called individuation, and he critiqued Charles Darwin's argument for evolution by natural selection. His work on prosimians, a group of primates excluding apes and monkeys, helped scientists better investigate the Primate group.
Santiago Felipe Ramon y Cajal (1852-1934)
Santiago Felipe Ramon y Cajal investigated brains in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Spain. He identified and individuated many components of the brain, including the neuron and the axon. He used chick embryos instead of adult animals, then customary in brain research, to study the development and physiology of the cerebellum, spinal cord, and retina. Ramon y Cajal received the Nobel Prize in Physiology and Medicine in 1906, along with Camillo Golgi, for his work on the structure of the nervous system.
Margaret (Peggy) Goldwater (1909–1985)
Margaret Goldwater advocated for birth control and reproductive rights in the United States during the twentieth century. Goldwater was a socialite and philanthropist and was married to Barry Goldwater, US Senator from Arizona. She spent much of her life working to further the women's reproductive rights movement, which sought to expand women's legal, social, and physical access to reproductive healthcare, including contraception and abortions.
Subject: People, Reproduction, Outreach
Chang and Eng Bunker (1811–1874)
Chāng (Chang) and Ēn (Eng) Bunker were conjoined twins in the nineteenth century in the United States, the first pair of conjoined twins whose condition was well documented in medical records. A conjoined twins is a rare condition in which two infants are born physically connected to each other. In their youth, the brothers earned money by putting themselves on display as curiosities and giving lectures and demonstrations about their condition. The Bunker brothers toured around the world, including the United States, Europe, Canada, and France, and allowed physicians to examine them.
Arthur Earl Walker (1907-1995)
Arthur Earl Walker was a medical researcher and physician who studied the brain and neurosurgery in the United States during the twentieth century. Walker examined the connections of the thalamus to the rest of the brain and how the thalamus coordinates sensory signals. The thalamus is a cluster of nerve cells located between the two hemispheres of the brain and it is responsible for consciousness and sensory interpretation.
Julius von Sachs (1832-1897)
Julius von Sachs helped establish plant physiology through his experiments in latter nineteenth-century Germany. Sachs infused the inchoate discipline of plant physiology with experimental techniques and a mechanistic stance, both of which cemented his place as one of the discipline s founders. Sachs trained a generation of plant physiologists, and his stress on experimentation and mechanism influenced biologists in other disciplines, especially embryologist Jacques Loeb.
Wilhelm Friedrich Phillip Pfeffer (1845-1920)
Wilhelm Friedrich Phillip Pfeffer studied plants in Germany during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He started his career as an apothecary, but Pfeffer also studied plant physiology, including how plants move and react to changes in light, temperature, and osmotic pressure. He created the Pfeffer Zelle apparatus, also known as the Pfeffer Cell, to study osmosis in plants. PfefferÕs experiments led to new theories about the structure and development of plants.
Ernest Everett Just (1883-1941)
Ernest Everett Just was an early twentieth century American experimental embryologist involved in research at the Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL) at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and the Stazione Zoologica in Naples, Italy. Just was known for simple but elegant experiments that supported the "fertilizing" theory of Frank R. Lillie and served as an antagonist to Jacques Loeb's work with artificial parthenogenesis.
Bernard Rimland (1928-2006)
Bernard Rimland studied autism in children in the United States in the second half of the twentieth century. His early research in the 1950s and into the 1960s led him to assert that infantile autism was a neurodevelopmental disorder, or one that is caused by impairments in the growth and development of the brain or central nervous system. Rimland's assertion that infantile autism was a neurodevelopmental disorder contradicted another theory at that time that the condition resulted from emotionally cold parenting.
Norman Haire (1892-1952)
Norman Haire was a physician who advocated for eugenics, which is the betterment of human population by promoting positive traits, and birth control rights in the twentieth century in both Australia and the UK. In the UK, Haire joined the Malthusian League, a contraception advocacy organization, and helped the League open the first physician-supervised birth control clinic, called Walworth Women's Welfare Centre in London, England.
Subject: People, Reproduction
Otto Rank (1884–1939)
Otto Rank studied how birth impacts individuals' psychology and creates anxiety throughout their lives in Europe and the US during the nineteenth century. In his book The Trauma of Birth, Rank stated that birth was extremely traumatic and that one spent his or her whole life trying to recover from the experience of being born and harshly separated from the peaceful womb. He argued that the trauma experienced at birth is the source of all human suffering and the key to understanding anxiety later in life.
Annie Wood Besant (1847–1933)
Annie Wood Besant was a social activist who advocated for women's access to birth control as well as marriage reform, labor reform, and Indian Nationalism in the nineteenth century in England and India. In her early career, Besant was involved in various social and political advocacy organizations including the National Secular Society, the Malthusian League, and the Fabian Society. Besant gave many public lectures and authored various articles in support of secularism, workers' rights and unionization, and women's rights.
August Antonius Rauber (1841-1917)
August Antonius Rauber was an embryologist and anatomist who examined gastrulation in avian embryos. He examined the formation of the blastopore, epiblast, and primitive streak during chick development. Subsequent researchers have further studied Rauber's findings, which has led to new discoveries in embryology and developmental biology.
Theophilus Shickel Painter (1889-1969)
Theophilus Shickel Painter studied the structure and
function of chromosomes in the US during in the early to mid-twentieth century. Painter worked at
the University of Texas at Austin in Austin, Texas. In the 1920s
and 1930s, Painter studied the chromosomes of the salivary gland
giant chromosomes of the fruit fly (Drosophila
melanogaster), with Hermann J. Muller. Muller and Painter
studied the ability of X-rays to cause changes in the chromosomes
of fruit flies. Painter also studied chromosomes in mammals.
Walter Edward Dandy (1886-1946)
Walter Edward Dandy studied abnormalities in the developing human brain in the United States in the twentieth century. He collaborated with pediatrician Kenneth Blackfan to provide the first clinical description of Dandy-Walker Syndrome, a congenital brain malformation in which the medial part of the brain, called the cerebellar vermis, is absent. Dandy also described the circulation of cerebral spinal fluid, the clear, watery fluid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord.
Margaret Higgins Sanger (1879-1966)
Margaret Higgins Sanger advocated for birth control in the United States and Europe during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although people used contraceptives prior to the twentieth century, in the US the 1873 Comstock Act made the distribution of information relating to the use of contraceptives illegal, and similar state-level Comstock laws also classified discussion and dissemination of contraceptives as illegal.

Simon Edward Fisher (1970-)
Simon Edward Fisher studied the genes that control speech and language in England and the Netherlands in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. In 2001, Fisher co-discovered the FOXP2 gene with Cecilia Lai, a gene related to language acquisition in humans and vocalization in other mammals. When damaged, the human version of the gene leads to language disorders that disrupt language and speech skills. Fisher's discovery validated the hypothesis that genes influence language, resulting in further investigations of language disorders and their heritability.
Muriel Wheldale Onslow (1880-1932)
Muriel Wheldale Onslow studied flowers in England with genetic and biochemical techniques in the early twentieth century. Working with geneticist William Bateson, Onslow used Mendelian principles and biochemical analysis together to understand the inheritance of flower colors at the beginning of the twentieth century. Onslow's study of snapdragons, or Antirrhinum majus, resulted in her description of epistasis, a phenomenon in which the phenotypic effect of one gene is influenced by one or more other genes. She discovered several biochemicals related to color formation.
Francis Maitland Balfour (1851-1882)
During the 1870s and early 1880s, the British morphologist Francis Maitland Balfour contributed in important ways to the budding field of evolutionary embryology, especially through his comparative embryological approach to uncovering ancestral relationships between groups. As developmental biologist and historian Brian Hall has observed, the field of evolutionary embryology in the nineteenth century was the historical ancestor of modern-day evolutionary developmental biology.
Clifford Grobstein (1916-1998)
Clifford Grobstein was a traditional, influential, and highly innovative biologist of the mid-twentieth century, gifted with many character facets and pragmatic talents. His early adulthood passion of linking classical embryology with developmental anatomy and medicine was joined by his later pursuit of combining research ethics and science education with public policy.
