I’m writing a project on history, so I just thought I’d share some videos I found with you.

What do all three of these people have in common? Well, all of them are big American television hosts: Fred Rogers, Johnny Carson, and Oprah Winfrey. And I’m currently researching them.

They may not give us insight on how to run entertainment in the present. But they give us insight into how the world functioned in the past. And they can teach us something about power.

I know you may not want to read this post. After all, these are very mainstream people, it may seem boring. But I’ll let you know that this post is not boring. Because these people are interesting. And they lived in interesting times.

Let’s start with Oprah Winfrey: because she was the first person I researched.

youtube

1. Oprah’s Interview with Michael Jackson

(video is 3:25 in length)

The year is 1993. Oprah has just been hosting The Oprah Winfrey Show for seven years now. And in a rare prime-time event, she interviews Michael Jackson on her show for Americans all across the nation to see.

The interview itself is interesting. Michael Jackson confesses that he dislikes the idea of being portrayed of as a white person, when he believes he’s “a black American”. He says the color of his skin started to change “sometime after Thriller”.

He claims that what he’s been doing that’s resulted in the drastic change in his skin tone is that he was using makeup to even it out, and denies “taking anything” to change the color of his skin.

This interview is the most watched interview ever, with an audience of 36.5 million people that watched it from home. It really shows the popularity of Michael Jackson—and the power of Oprah Winfrey.

You see, you may not have heard about Oprah Winfrey much anymore, but she was once the most powerful woman in the world. During its 1991-1992 season, The Oprah Winfrey Show had 13.1 million daily U.S. viewers.

A survey back in 2003 estimated that 73% of American adults “had a favorable view of Winfrey”. Her outreach was so wide that every time she showed a new book on her segment, Oprah’s Book Club, it would instantly become a bestseller.

Forbes named her the “world’s most powerful celebrity” in 2005, 2007, 2008, 2010, and 2013. She became the world’s first black billionaire in 2004, and remained the only one until 2007.

Michael Jackson died in 2009. If he was still alive today, he’d be 62. But Oprah Winfrey is still alive. She’s worth $2.5 billion, the richest self-made woman in the world.

2) Johnny Carson Invites Frank Sinatra

(video is 4:52 in length)

The year is 1976. Johnny Carson is in the height of his career, who’s soared to become an American icon in the 1970s. And here he brings Frank Sinatra, the famous singer, onto his talk show The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Johnny Carson begins with a funny yet intriguing question to Frank Sinatra: “when you’re in a romantic mood, and you’re trying to make out, whose records do you put on?” The audience laughs.

Then Don Rickles walks on stage. Don Rickles is a famous comedian that’s a comedic favorite in the eyes of Johnny Carson and a long-time friend to Frank Sinatra. (Don Rickles is also the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the Toy Story movies.)

Don Rickles is happy to see Frank Sinatra because “I’ve never met him before”. Then Rickles jokes with Sinatra about the Mafia, since Frank Sinatra is Italian. (Remember, this is the 70’s, the Mafia was still big around this time.) Then Don Rickles kisses Frank Sinatra. Twice.

This clip is not very important. I mean sure, there’s Frank Sinatra, and the clip is very funny, but it has no historical significance nor modern effect. It is, however, a breath of fresh air, for people in the present to look at humor in the past. There’s something about this that just doesn’t exist anymore.

A quick Google search of “most influential television hosts” yields Johnny Carson at the top of the list. Yet you’ve probably never heard of him. Why? Because the audience he catered to is all grown up now.

You see, late-night talk shows like The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson lend themselves to a uniquely adult audience. Let’s say a person watched this episode on television when it first aired, which is not unlikely. Suppose they were 26 years old then. Now, they’d be 70.

As a result, you may not know just how much of an effect Johnny Carson had American comedy culture.

Some comedians kickstarted their careers by appearing on Johnny Carson’s show and getting Carson to laugh at their jokes. Examples of comedians that did this include Robin Williams, Jerry Seinfeld, and Ellen DeGeneres.

Furthermore, his style of humor was so contagious that many comedians today credit Johnny Carson as an influence. Examples of these comedians include David Letterman, Jay Leno, Conan O’Brien, and Jimmy Fallon.

Johnny Carson and his show had a massive influence on the modern comedy world. In total, at least thirteen comedians started their careers through him, and at least twenty-three comedians credit Johnny Carson as an influence.

Today, everyone in this clip is now dead. Johnny Carson died in 2005. Frank Sinatra died in 1998. And Don Rickles died in 2017. (That’s why movie producers were panicking over Toy Story 4 in 2019.) But Johnny Carson’s influence lives on.

3) Mr. Rogers Wades with Officer Clemmons

(video is 3:03 in length)

The year is 1969. Fred Rogers is filming the fifteenth episode in color on his children’s show, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. And he and Officer François Clemmons are about to break one of the times’ color barriers.

In this scene, Officer Clemmons has had a hard long day of being a police officer, and it’s a hot summer morning. So Mr. Rogers invites him to put his feet in the water with him and relax for a moment.

Officer Clemmons cools his feet down in the wading pool with Mr. Rogers. However, just a moment later, Officer Clemmons cuts his time short with Mr. Rogers so that Clemmons may return to his job.

Mr. Rogers is very understanding of this. He says that “sometimes just a minute like this will really make a difference.” Officer Clemmons dries his feet, they sing a song, and they part ways.

Fred Rogers played a very large role in the production of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood. He was the creator, showrunner, and host. He wrote all the episodes and created all the characters. He wrote and sang in most of the songs, and played most of the puppets.

And this scene was intentional. Mr. Rogers didn’t “accidentally” stumble into integration or topics about racism. As François Clemmons said in an interview in 2016, “thaaat’s not Mr. Rogers! It was well planned and well thought out.”

Mr. Rogers had an idea of what he wanted to teach to his prekindergarten television audience. He wanted to embed in his TV show, ideas that came from the complicated real world outside his show.

While children were learning in his show about how to control their anger and how to be kind to others, adults were hearing on the news about black people being driven out of integrated pools by white people, pouring cleaning chemicals into the water.

Policemen were white, and they were arresting black people in mass numbers for civilly disobeying. This is the 1960s, remember, and it was a very hostile world for black people in America.

Fred Rogers heard about all this, and that’s the reason why he made François Clemmons a policeman on their show. That’s why they did this scene together.

At its peak, Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood was broadcast to 1.8 million homes across America. All these families heard the various different themes that Mr. Rogers put in his show.

Fred Rogers died in 2003, two years after the last episode of his show. François Clemmons is still alive, at the age of 75. A documentary and a drama film have since been made about Fred Rogers’ Mr. Rogers Neighborhood.

Besides, Fred Rogers is just a genuinely good guy. He became a part of so many children’s lives across America, teaching them many life lessons. And isn’t that enough?

Well, that’s the end of this post.

Why did I show you this? After all, I really never needed to. I could have just as easily kept it to myself for the history project. Well, it’s because I was interested in this.

I watched these clips and realized I had no idea what the world was like back then. And you hadn’t watched these clips yet, so you probably have even less of an idea. So I wanted to show them to you.

You can see how different a world the people before us grew up in. The people who saw this were Baby Boomers and Generation X, they were your parents or grandparents. And this could have been the source of entertainment they saw when they were growing up.

And you can see how powerful these people are. Let’s be honest, no one here on Tumblr has power. No one around here has a lot of money. We fund Kickstarters to fundraise people’s surgeries. We donate to charities to help people elsewhere around the world.

These are people who influenced the livelihoods of millions of people across a third of a continent. Oprah Winfrey is worth billions of dollars. Johnny Carson influenced an entire generation of comedians. And Mr. Rogers made an entire generation’s childhoods.

These are the people who are actually called “powerful”.

And finally, one last note. I’m not a historian. I’m a storyteller. It’s why I’m not concerned with citing my sources. (That doesn’t make what I said here any less true, though, know that everything I said here is factual. You can look it up and see for yourself.)

I wanted to share stories with my friends and with the world. So that’s why I made this post. So they can see it now. And you can see it too.

Thank you for understanding! 🌹

Coming soon i hope, my new oc…

Well, they are my ocs so i better start to work on them 🙂😲 can’t wait 😁

Lets start with their backstory and past:

Yoldeing the cat: Is Bella best friend and like a big sister, they know each other since day one, they were born at the same hospital. Nobody knows Yoldeing real parents since mister Tomoshi, found her abandoned in the crib after only 3 days…also Bella is half japanese, that’s why Yoldeing decide to learn japanese.

The fire lady (Ruby): Ruby is a spirit of fire, they lived with people in peace since no one can really see them, however one boy, Silver can see her perfectly…At his six birthday, a fire started in the room where he and others kids played; that event left a mark on the poor boy and a big scare. Silver was afraid of her since she reminds him of the past however one night an half human-spirit Ruby appears at his door, asking him for help…Now, Silver must help Ruby get into her world before she disappear completely!

Silver: Silver, is a hot white hair boy, who has no care in the world, he is a strong and free person. He has a guitar and his love is “Mona” a red motor scooter. His father is one of the richest men since it’s a family business for generations…However he is not interested in such boring things, Silver is a dreamer!

Bella the cat: As a family, Bella has her parents and her younger brother, also she has an aunt (she was adopted; sister of Bella mother) that is a fox with 9 kids (Blue is one of them and Bella cousin)…Her best friend is Yoldeing the cat. The rest of her past is N/A

It’s time to meet another new adopted oc: Rocky flame, she is much more like a candle with flame 😅 Rocky flame smells like vanilla… Her friends are Dandelion the white flower and Muffy, Rocky flame doesn’t like Amstran the moon dancer too much because she thinks that he is like a bad omen…

Diamond suffers from memory lost, she can’t remember a part of her childhood, she is part cat because her mother was a cat…and Diamond is shy and insecure, her cat part is brave and loves adventures…other then that she has my personality because before becoming an oc it was my persona…

I might talk about my adopted ocs such as Luna the moon demon and Elly the snow cat…

Luna the moon demon is actually a reflection of the moon called the moon child in many mythical stories… She has been born from all the events that was happening on full moon from decades ago, Luna only appears on full moon, but there are rare moon fenomens like the super moon/ blood moon, the moon of vampires etc that emphasize her true form and it’s not a pretty sign…She loves the moon eclipse, it’s her favorite time! Originally, she was created to protect the ones who were lost at night but that changed due in time! Now, she is just a moon demon!

Elly the snow cat: She along with her family is a descendent from the big cats that lived in the ice Age. Elly loves cold, she is a cold person, not many likes her, she is always sad! She hates Summer only because of the heat, she loves Winter! On Winter Elly wears often a swimsuit and takes baths in the frozen lake! All of her family calls her ice princess, her favorite movie is Frozen!

Drippi end up in the Cartoon Town where he meets Diamond and now Diamond has a friend, the city is big and dangerous… will Drippi find his lost pal?

Faith:Let me tell a story about two brothers and a crime…

About Faith the head rabbit: Faith was 18 years old (means 1 and half year in our years because rabbits has short lifes) when his jealous older brother decapited him…

But that night it was a full blue moon, when his spirit meet this demon girl Luna the moon demon!

So, they made a contract, Luna giving him the power to turn back time that’s why his eyes looks like clocks…

But making a contract with a demon there are consequences you must pay!

Woodstock Artist's Pay 1969

How Much Woodstock Performers Were Paid 50 Years Ago — and Who's the Richest Star Now Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/heres-much-woodstock-performers-got-193016216.html

Before Woodstock was a cultural phenomenon, it was a financial fiasco.

Organizers behind the legendary music festival in upstate New York, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this summer, said they wound up $1.3 million in debt after the historic 1969 event—roughly $9 million in today’s dollars. But they eventually broke even years later thanks to album and movie ticket sales.

In addition to basic problems like miles of traffic jams and a lack of sanitation and food for a colossal crowd estimated at over 400,000, Woodstock organizers failed to adequately fence in the concert area. As a result, many fans attended without paying for admission — which was $18 for the three-day festival, the equivalent of about $125 today. That meant festival producers had even less money than expected to pay Woodstock’s performers, several of whom reportedly demanded twice their usual pay rate, upfront.

How much did bands get paid for playing at Woodstock in 1969? The amounts varied widely, according to generally accepted reports that have surfaced over the years and trace back to an old story in Variety. The disparity in some of the paychecks is dramatic: Woodstock headliner Jimi Hendrix was paid over 20 times higher than another guitar icon, Carlos Santana, who was mostly unknown at the time.

Woodstock organizers were inclined to pay top dollar to artists like Hendrix, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and Jefferson Airplane because they were desperate to put well-known talent on the bill. Leading up to the festival, top acts like the Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, John Lennon, and Bob Dylan all declined to perform at Woodstock. Some on-the-spot improvisation was also necessary for Woodstock producers: In order to get stars like Jimi Hendrix on stage, organizers reportedly convinced a local bank to open up after hours during the festival and took out an emergency loan.

Here’s how much performers were paid for playing at the original Woodstock festival in 1969, along with some updates on who is the richest rock star now.

Jimi Hendrix: $18,000

In the two years before Woodstock, Jimi Hendrix had put out three studio albums that each reached the top 5 best-seller list in the U.S.: “Are You Experienced,” “Axis: Bold as Love,” and “Electric Ladyland.” The latter peaked at No. 1 on Billboard in late 1968 and remained in the charts for 40 weeks.

So it was certainly justified that Jimi Hendrix was billed as the overall headliner at Woodstock in 1969, and that he commanded the highest paycheck of all performers. Hendrix was paid $18,000 for appearing at Woodstock, which is the equivalent of about $125,000 today.

There was also a clause in his contract stipulating that no one could perform after Jimi Hendrix at the festival. Because there were so many delays and miscues at Woodstock, Hendrix didn’t wind up on stage until the morning of day four of the three-day festival, Monday, August 18, 1969. By that time, the vast majority of people had left — meaning that most fans didn’t even see the Woodstock headliner perform, including his legendary version of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Side note: His performance at Woodstock represented the only Grammy nomination Jimi Hendrix received while he was alive, and he didn’t win.

Blood, Sweat & Tears: $15,000

Blood, Sweat & Tears had a No. 1 album in 1969, and the band’s biggest hit, “Spinning Wheel,” was peaking during that summer. That’s why Blood, Sweat & Tears received the second-highest paycheck at Woodstock, $15,000 — or $105,000 in today’s dollars.

Creedence Clearwater Revival, Joan Baez: $10,000 Each

The folksinger and activist Joan Baez was 28 years old and six months pregnant when she took the stage at 3 a.m. on the first night of Woodstock. Decades later, she told the New York Times that she had been incredibly shy, suffered severe stage fright, and had no idea what songs to perform.

“Not everybody knows me, and my music isn’t rock ’n’ roll,” Baez recalled, noting that she didn’t really fit in at the scene in upstate New York. “I was a political activist, and there were not many of those at Woodstock.” Baez wound up singing the traditional spiritual “Swing Low, Sweet Chariot” and Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released,” among other songs.

The Woodstock setlist for Creedence Clearwater Revival, led by singer-songwriter John Fogerty, includes many classics still played on the radio today, including “Born on a Bayou,” “Suzie Q,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Proud Mary.” CCR went through an ugly breakup in the early 1970s, but the band’s full performance from 50 years was finally just released as an album this summer, “Live at Woodstock.”

Joan Baez and Creedence Clearwater Revival were among the highest-paid performers at Woodstock, receiving $10,000 each, or about $70,000 today, after adjusting for inflation. According to Celebrity Net Worth, John Fogerty has an estimated net worth of $70 million today, while Joan Baez’s net worth is roughly $11 million.

Jefferson Airplane, The Band, Janis Joplin: $7,500 Each

In the next tier of highest-paid Woodstock performers come some of the top music stars in the late 1960s, who received $7,500 apiece (equivalent of about $52,000 today). Janis Joplin put on what many consider her breakthrough performance at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival, and two years later at Woodstock she played crowd favorites like “Piece of My Heart” and “Ball and Chain.” Both Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix died due to drug overdoses a little over a year after Woodstock.

The Band, best known at that point for their song “The Weight” and for playing regular as Bob Dylan’s band, were actually locals who lived in the area where the festival was held. “After three days of people being hammered by weather and music, it was hard to get a take on the mood,” The Band’s Robbie Robertson wrote in Rolling Stone 20 years after Woodstock. “We played a slow, haunting set of mountain music. We lived up there, near Woodstock, and it seemed kind of appropriate from our point of view.”

Jefferson Airplane, the quintessential 1960s San Francisco psychedelic rock band, were well-known for top 10 hits like “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit” when Woodstock took place. Part of band, led by singer Grace Slick, was reborn as the Starship in the 1980s, when it released pop songs that topped the charts like “We Built This City” and “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now.” Grace Slick has an estimated net worth today of about $20 million, per Celebrity Net Worth.

Richie Havens, Sly & the Family Stone, Canned Heat, The Who: $6,000 – $7,000 Each

A band called Sweetwater was supposed to be the opening act at Woodstock, but they were stuck in traffic when the festival was scheduled to start. Richie Havens and his bandhad driven up to the festival site from New York City early, and after hopping on a short helicopter ride to land near the stage, they wound up opening Woodstock on Friday evening. Havens played for nearly three hours, and his extended setlist included several Beatles songs and the memorable improvisation known simply as “Freedom.”

Of the other Woodstock acts that received reported payments of $6,000 to $7,000 ($42,000 to $49,000 today), the best known by far is The Who. A 1969 report by Rolling Stone said that The Who’s manager collected $11,200 before the band’s performance at Woodstock, but that’s believed to be an exaggeration. The Who singer Roger Daltrey did confirm, however, that it demanded upfront payment before the band began its set at 5 a.m., after waiting around backstage for some 14 hours.

“Woodstock wasn’t peace and love,” Daltrey recalled to the New York Times recently. “People were screaming at the promoters, people were screaming to get paid. We had to get paid, or we couldn’t get back home.”

The British band, which released “My Generation” in 1965 and the historic rock opera “Tommy” in 1969, was still a big enough deal in 2010 to be asked to play the Super Bowl halftime show, and they are working on a new album expected to be released in 2019. The two core members of The Who, Roger Daltrey and Pete Townshend, are probably the richest Woodstock performers still alive today, with net worths estimated at $85 million and $105 million, respectively.

Sly & the Family Stone, whose music blended funk, soul, and rock and has been sampled abundantly by rap artists like Dr. Dre, A Tribe Called Quest, and Arrested Development, received $7,000 for performing at Woodstock in 1969. They didn’t go on stage until 5 a.m., band member Rose Stone recalled later in an NPR interview. “The sun started to come up and all of a sudden all we could see was just a sea of people,” she said. “I think it was like an apex of our group.”

Arlo Guthrie, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young: $5,000 Each

The second time that Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young played live as a band, it was in front of hundreds of thousands of people at Woodstock. Neil Young had recently been asked to join the trio of David Crosby, Stephen Stills, and Graham Nash, who had released their first album in the spring of 1969. At Woodstock, the famously prickly Neil Young refused to be filmed and most of the band’s acoustic set featured just Crosby, Stills & Nash, who opened with their epic “Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.”

Arlo Guthrie, the song of folk music icon Woody Guthrie, was only 19 years old when he played at Woodstock. He was expecting to perform on the festival’s second day, and he indulged in plenty of champagne backstage on the first night because there was no food and nothing else to drink, Guthrie later recalled. Then Woodstock organizers suddenly asked Guthrie to play on the first night. “Richie Havens has been up there playing for hours. There’s nobody else and you’ve got to play now,” they told him.

Guthrie played a short set, and by most accounts it wasn’t a particularly good performance. He didn’t play his best-known song, the 18-minute-long antiestablishment saga “Alice’s Restaurant,” which was released in 1967.

Arlo Guthrie and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young were paid $5,000 each for playing at Woodstock, about $35,000 today. Neil Young, who has had decades of success as a solo artist and leader of other bands outside CSNY, is now the richest star in this group, with a net worth currently estimated at $65 million.

The Grateful Dead: $2,500

Perhaps no band is more closely associated with the hippie movement and the kind of crowd drawn to Woodstock than the Grateful Dead. But members of the band admit that the Grateful Dead’s set at Woodstock, played while the rain poured down and consisting of only five songs, was a disaster.

“The stage was wet, and the electricity was coming through me. I was conducting! Touching my guitar and the microphone was nearly fatal,” the Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir told Rolling Stone. “It was probably the worst set we’ve ever performed. And to have performed it in front of a crowd that size was not an altogether fulfilling experience.”

Santana: $750

Here’s the rest of the low end of the payscale at Woodstock in 1969, according to Variety:

• Ravi Shankar: $4,500 • Johnny Winter: $3,750 • Ten Years After: $3,250 • Country Joe and the Fish: $2,500 • Incredible String Band: $2,250 • Mountain: $2,000 • Tim Hardin: $2,000 • Joe Cocker: $1,375 • Sweetwater: $1,250 • John Sebastian: $1,000 • Melanie: $750 • Santana: $750 • Sha Na Na: $700 • Keef Hartley: $500 • Quill: $375

Of these artists, two performances in particular stand out for how memorably they played — and how little they were paid. The British singer Joe Cocker’s iconic version of the Beatles’ “With a Little Help From My Friends” closed his set and probably summed up the vibe at Woodstock as well as any song.

Then there’s Santana. Few people at Woodstock had heard of Santana, which in the summer of 1969 was a mostly unknown band led by 22-year-old Carlos Santana, a guitar phenom who performed in his teenage years at bars and strip clubs in Tijuana, Mexico. Santana received $750 for playing at Woodstock — about $5,000 in today’s dollars, and 24 times less than Jimi Hendrix’s paycheck — and it was money well spent. Carlos Santana was high on mescaline when the band took the stage on Saturday afternoon, and by most accounts they blew people’s minds with electrifying performances of songs like “Evil Ways” and “Soul Sacrifice.”

Three decades after Woodstock, Carlos Santana was an established rock god and released the album “Supernatural,” featuring collaborations with the likes of Lauryn Hill, Eric Clapton, and Rob Thomas. The Santana-Thomas song “Smooth” became one of the biggest-selling singles of all time, and Santana collected multiple Grammy Awards in 1999. Today, Carlos Santana is 72 years old and has a net worth estimated at $50 million.

How You Can Attend Garden Of Eden Story In Quran With Minimal Budget | garden of eden story in quran

Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam insists he was not either of the men in an abhorrent photo of one being in blackface and addition cutting a KKK awning that showed up in his 1984 yearbook. USA TODAY

Do the Four Rivers Lead Us to the Garden of Eden? | Ancient Origins – garden of eden story in quran | garden of eden story in quran

Protests over Confederate monuments. A bourgeois assemblage angry baleful in Charlottesville. And now, two of Virginia’s top officeholders accept accepted to blackface impersonations of African-American singers.

In an era back all of the United States are reexamining their history of racism, no accompaniment has had to attending itself in the mirror added than Virginia. Its appreciative history as the home of presidents and patriots additionally includes ignoble chapters as the epicenter of the bondservant barter and basic of the Confederacy.

If bullwork is the aboriginal sin of American life, Virginia is its Garden of Eden.

“In some ways, my claimed history mirrors that of this commonwealth,” Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam said in a columnist appointment Saturday. The Democrat admitted to a blackface clothing of Michael Jackson, but denied he was one of the capacity of a 1984 anniversary photo featuring a robed Klansman and a man in blackface.

The state’s advocate general, Mark Herring, fabricated his own acceptance Wednesday, adage he dressed in amber architecture in 1980 to portray rapper Kurtis Blow.

Herring, additionally a Democrat, apologized for his “ignorance and glib attitudes.”

“That I accept contributed to the affliction Virginians accept acquainted this ceremony is the greatest abashment I accept anytime felt,” he said in a statement.

It’s a affliction Virginians accept acquainted before.

In 2006, Sen. George Allen absent his re-election bid – and his presidential aspirations – afterwards a racist acknowledgment at attack rally. The Republican above governor referred to an Indian-American action tracker who had infiltrated the assemblage as “Macaca,” a Portuguese chat for monkey and a accusation adjoin dark-skinned people.

He apologized and lost.

A bourgeois backfire to protests of Confederate memorials angry baleful in Charlottesville in 2017. A neo-Nazi from Ohio collection his car into a army of counter-protesters, murdering 32-year-old Heather Heyer.

The adventure led alone to a greater advance to abolish memorials in places like Richmond, the accompaniment basic whose Monument Avenue charcoal as the best prominent symbol of the “Lost Cause” advocate history of the Civil War. The accompaniment assembly still forbids the abatement of the statues.

And now, Northam’s anniversary photo has prompted an assay into the ability of its educational institutions: the Virginia Aggressive Institute, area he was an undergrad, and the Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk area the 1984 photo was taken.

“Virginia in some agency is a accompaniment disturbing with its self-identity,” said Stephen Farnsworth, who studies Virginia backroom at the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg. “There are so abounding aggressive narratives about what Virginia is.”

The Confederacy continues to casting a continued adumbration over a new Virginia that is added diverse, educated, burghal and liberal.

Virginia was the basic of the breakaway Southern states but additionally its best arctic member. It was additionally home to added Civil War battles than any added state.

It’s 19th-century agriculture abridgement – fueled by chargeless activity from apprenticed African-Americans – has now adapted into a 21st-century technology hub that attracts a assorted and accomplished workforce. Added than bisected of Virginians were built-in about else.

“Virginia is on the accountability band of the old South and the new,” Farnsworth said.

“The Old Dominion is abundant added aggressively contested political amplitude than you would see in abounding added southern states. And that agency a lot of arguments over its past.”

That accomplished runs deep. Virginia was the home of the aboriginal abiding English adjustment in what’s now the United States, at Jamestown, in 1607. Twelve years later, the aboriginal disciplinarian from Africa accustomed there.

Virginia claims the aboriginal Thanksgiving, and four of the aboriginal bristles presidents. (It’s accustomed bearing to eight overall – added than any added state.)

After the access of new disciplinarian was banned in 1808, Richmond became the hub for the calm bondservant trade, acceptance for all-inclusive plantations and immense abundance for their owners. And back the South seceded from the Union in 1861, Virginia was the richest accompaniment in what would accept been the fourth-richest country in the world.

Julian Maxwell Hayter, a historian at the University of Richmond, says that history continues to casting a adumbration throughout the commonwealth today.

“What you’ve apparent over time is this deeply entrenched abundance reasserting itself admitting Jim Crow, and through best of the 20th century,” said Hayter, columnist of “The Dream Is Lost: Voting Rights and the Backroom of Chase in Richmond, Virginia.” “It’s one of the few places in the South area bodies pride themselves on their absolute birth to the aboriginal families.

“So I acquisition it absorbing that bodies are afraid that this being lasted able-bodied into the afterglow of the 20th century. Those things abide throughout the arrangement itself, and they accept a best shelf activity than bodies tend to recognize.”

But at the aforementioned time – as one of Virginia’s abounding contradictions – it also has a racially accelerating strain. The 51-year-old Supreme Court accommodation acceptance blacks and whites to ally came out of Virginia, and the accompaniment has one of the accomplished ante of interracial alliance today.

“Virginians apperceive they’re Southern but they consistently advised themselves added aesthetic than their brothers in the Abysmal South,” Hayter said. “It’s abounding of these kinds of contradictions, and by the way, it’s in befitting with the things that Ralph Northam has been accused of.

“Americans like their racism atramentous and white. We don’t do able-bodied with granularity.”

That’s led to some awkward juxtapositions. Until 2000, the Martin Luther King Day anniversary was acclaimed on the aforementioned day anniversary two Confederate generals, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.

The Lee-Jackson-King day was a accommodation hashed out by then-state Sen. Douglas Wilder, afterwards the state’s aboriginal African-American governor.

“You admit Virginia for what it is. Virginia’s ancestry is as affluent as it has anytime been,” he told the Washington Post in 1985.

And aloof aftermost month, Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax – alone the additional African-American administrator in the state’s history – stepped off the belvedere of the accompaniment Senate rather than administer over an anniversary anniversary of Lee’s birthday.

As the cites and their suburbs accept developed – in ample allotment with non-native academy students, federal workers and contractors – so accept the ranks of Democratic voters.

The accompaniment voted anxiously Republican in every acclamation from Richard Nixon to George W. Bush – but has gone Democratic for three elections in a row in favor of Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

At abounding of those churches Sunday, the Northam altercation acquired some brooding about how to attack candidly with issues of race.

The Buddhist monk and author Matthieu Ricard may be the world's "happiest man," according to science

Matthieu Ricard was born into an intellectual French family; his mother was an abstract painter and his father a philosopher.

After earning a doctorate in molecular genetics at the Pasteur Institute, he moved to the Himalayas and became a Buddhist monk.

In addition to 50 years of practicing as a monk, Ricard is a best-selling author, a close associate of the Dalai Llama, and a collaborator on cutting-edge scientific research.

Ricard has been given the title "the happiest man in the world."

If happiness is a form of success, you might look to Matthieu Ricard. Neuroscientists found that the Tibetan Buddhist monk and best-selling author has some of the highest levels of positive emotions of anyone they've ever studied. Hence the media started calling him "the happiest man alive." He doesn't buy it, but he can't shake the title.

"Maybe when I die there will be on my tomb: 'Here lies the happiest man in the world,'" he joked.

On this episode of "Success! How I Did It," a different view of how to make it. Business Insider's senior strategy reporter Richard Feloni spoke with Ricard while he was promoting his new book, "Beyond the Self," which he wrote with neuroscientist Wolf Singer.

For the past 50 years, Ricard has lived in Nepal, often with no electricity or running water, and yet monkhood has hardly meant isolation up in the Himalayas. He's become a best-selling author and given not one but two viral TED Talks. He's also found his way into the Dalai Lama's inner circle.

But to Ricard, none of that is a measure of success. He spoke with Feloni about all that and more.

Listen to the full episode:

Subscribe to "Success! How I Did It" on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, or your favorite app. Check out previous episodes with:

PayPal founder Max Levchin

NBC News host Megyn Kelly

Tennis Superstar Venus Williams

Author Tim Ferriss

Following is a transcript, which has been edited for clarity.

From French intellectual society to a Tibetan Buddhist monastery

Feloni: The name of this podcast is "Success! How I Did It," and you're perhaps the only guest who would object to being called "successful."

Ricard: Maybe not! I mean, it all depends on the definition of success. Is it simply becoming the richest, most powerful, most famous, most beautiful, most everything?

Success, personally, I feel, is an attempt of personal flourishing. That means fulfilling the deepest aspiration you might have in life. And then when you have gained some kind of inner strength, freedom, and, you know, you have the resources to deal with the ups and downs of life, then you'll feel less vulnerable, then the success is actually translated into serving society, serving others. So to transform yourself to serve others, if you can bring that to an optimal point, then, for me, that's what you call "success."

Feloni: You were born in France in 1946 to a famous writer and a painter, and they were involved in intellectual society. You got to meet people, like the composer Igor Stravinsky and the photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson. What was that like? Were seeds planted to become who you are today?

Ricard: Well, in a way, it was eye-opening. It was more retrospectively, because there was a kind of, you know, fascination. You look at those persons, they are eminent in their own field, but even though there were extraordinary genius in their own way. But that would not correlate, obviously, with the basic human quality that is the thing to really appreciate in someone else.

So you could have, if you take a hundred philosophers, a hundred gardeners, a hundred musicians, a hundred scientists — you find, more or less, the same distribution of very good people. And people who, you know, don't feel very well to be with. And sometimes obnoxious people. And you say: "Are they a role model not just because of their specialty but as a human being?" And the answer is no. Then you wonder, "Well, then who could be a role model, who could have this coherence between their knowledge, their skills, their wisdom, and the way they are?"

So there was the big difference when I met great men and women of wisdom — suddenly, you know, there was a complete coherence between themselves and their teachings, or what they are supposed to represent, which was like wisdom and compassion, because they were embodying it every single moment. You cannot, you know, say, "Oh, this is a great spiritual master. What a pity so nervous, angry, jealous." It doesn't work! [Laughs]

Feloni: Yeah, it seems to be kind of a mature insight that you had as a young person into this idea of success and meaning. What were you like as a kid growing up?

Ricard: Well, I mean, I was, you know, basically like any other kid. Yes, I had some kind of interest in a lot of things, like birdwatching, astronomy, sailing, skiing, music. I played a lot of classical music. So, yes, I had that lively youth as teenager. At the same time, you know, this is the age where you know what you don't want your life to be like. I mean, it's boring, meaningless, sort of the sense of, yes, failure in the sense of not accomplishing anything worth it. But you don't really know what really could be the way to have a fulfilled life.

Feloni: What was your first exposure to Buddhism, and what did it answer for you?

Ricard: So when I was teenager, I was sort of broadly interested in what we call "spirituality," but it's only when I traveled I just knew, in 1967, and thanks to having seen some documentaries on all the great masters and met them — that suddenly I realized "OK, here are men and women of great wisdom of great compassion, who exemplify, you know, freedom and bringing human quality to the optimal state." So that, that brought me a sense of, "OK, here are masters, are people I know. I can walk with them through their guidance, a kind of path to become a better human being.

Feloni: Was embracing Buddhism almost a rebellion against the kind of thought and philosophy that you were exposed to at that time?

Ricard: No, I never felt the idea of rebellion, or people say, "Oh, you left, you know, the life in Paris, you left Pasteur Institute." When you do — which I do often now, walking in the mountains in the Himalayas — when you leave a valley, you come to a mountain pass and you come to discover from the top of the pass a beautiful valley with some lakes and forest, you know. So you suddenly discover something very inspiring. You are not thinking, "I'm rejecting, abandoning the valley" — which you had been crossing, that also had some qualities.

So simply, it's a new phase of life, new, a new landscape. And so, yes, so it's more like discovering something new and feeling very enthusiastic about it, rather than just sort of a negative idea of giving up, rejecting, abandoning.

Feloni: And you decided to finish your studies before moving to the Himalayas. Before you made that move, were there any doubts in your mind?

Ricard: No, I think it was a good timeline. I guess if I had left too early, somehow it was like, you know, making a mess of all the efforts my parents had made. They were not very wealthy to give me an education. So it would have looked like sort of breaking something.

It also gave me time to mature that decision clearly. I never had any hesitation. It's like, you ask if a fruit or pear that is maturing on the tree if it ever has hesitation. But at some point you don't have to pull and break the branch to get the fruit. It's just ... touch it, and it falls in your hands. So when something is ready. I just feel so fortunate that at 26 I could leave and spend those now 50 years with those great masters. I mean, I would not want to change any of that. And I congratulate myself at all times that I was able to do that.

Returning home, and stumbling into fame by writing a book with his dad

Feloni: So you're able to study these masters in the rest of your 20s, and you became a monk when you were age 30. Not too long after that you're able to go back home and visit. What was it like going from this completely different lifestyle back home to France?

Ricard: I won't say cultural shock, but things had changed. There were new big towers in Paris, and I remember going to a radio or something. It was one of the main ones. And I said, "Oh, you're on FM now?" And they sort of looked at me as if to say, "Where's he coming from, this guy?" "We are on the FM for the last 10 years."

Feloni: And then you and your father, you collaborated on the book "The Monk and the Philosopher," and this is a dialogue between you and your father exploring concepts of Buddhism and how they relate to other ways of looking at the world. What was that experience like?

Ricard: So he came for 10 days and we went to a resort. We made a list of topics, and then it was a very lovely sort of 10 days where we just recorded. Nobody else was with us. We were walking in the forest, recording.

And then so his main point was he noticed that Buddhism became quite popular in the West, and he was wondering why, as a philosopher. And you realized that, you know, from his perspective, the Greek philosopher has three goals: What can I know? How to govern the city? And how to live my life? And he said "What can I know?" is mostly science getting the answers. "How should I govern the govern the city?" You know, democracy, of course — it is to be used properly, but still compared to any other, anything else, is the best system.

And then, "How should I lead my life?" He felt that most of Western philosophers had given up that. And they were starting to bring a lot of big philosophical sort of systems, which didn't tell you anything about how to become a good human being. So he had the insight that Buddhism was bringing some answer for our modern time which was very ... a sign of being very open minded for someone like him.

And actually through our discussion he became quite convinced that it was the case. Of course, he didn't buy into the other aspect of Buddhism, about the nature of consciousness, about all kinds of things, that it's just a little bit more like "Buddhist business." But as a way of being, as an art of life, he was quite very positive about that. So it was wonderful for me, and I think he said to someone before dying that it's something that, that really mattered to him at the end of his life.

Feloni: So this was not only a great experience between you and your father, but the book became a best-seller in France. So this changed your life.

Ricard: Yes, well, sometimes I jokingly said, "It's either the beginning of a completely new opportunity, or the beginning of my troubles." Because from a very, very quiet life, living on a shoestring — I was living on, like, $50 a month, but of course perfectly well in a little hermitage with no electricity, no heating, no running water. But I can't remember any uncomfort. It was such a beautiful time of my life, those seven years there. But certainly it was a big change, because from one day to the other you became recognizable in the street — because we did, I don't know, 15 TV [appearances].

And also it shows you, somehow, if people are defining the terms of "success," how artificial this is! Because you, you didn't change over one week. I'm just the same guy. Nobody was at all caring anything about me. So you don't get a big head because you know very well it's because you have been on TV and radio, not because you became sensational overnight. So that, I think, was a good lesson. I always take it with a grain of salt.

But also I thought, How could this be used in a positive way? So there were two things. One was to share ideas which are very dear to me. And I think there many wonderful ideas in Buddhist philosophy that can be applied to humanity.

The second thing is, because of the books and starting to do things here and there, I saw some resources coming my way. So I thought, Well, I don't need them basically, I have no land, no house, no car, so why not do something useful with that as well? Philanthropists joined us, and we decided to create an organization called Karuna Shechen. And now we're helping about 300,000 people in India, Nepal, and eastern Tibet with health, social services, education.

So it is wonderful. At the same time it gave a life which become a little bit hectic. I mean, 80 boarding passes in a year. So, I thought, "OK, 20 years, '97, 2017, maybe it's time to — just as I left Pasteur Institute, to explore, not give up — but you know, somehow explore a new way of, for the last few years of, I might be alive or not. I don't know.

Feloni: And the Dalai Lama himself, he takes this approach, where he uses his public profile to share teachings of compassion and altruism with people even if they're nonbelievers. And so you work with him closely. You're his French translator. What was it like when you first met him?

Working with the Dalai Lama, and getting called 'the happiest man in the world'

Ricard: So, my second teacher, Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, was a teacher to the Dalai Lama. Since I was close to Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche, one of the two to three monks that were always with him, so then I became quite intimate with His Holiness, and he was always extremely kind with me. So then it happens once: I happened to be in Paris when he was there. And normally, interpreting would go, he was in Tibet, and someone would translate in English, a third person in French. So he saw me he said, "OK, you translate," because by then I spoke Tibetan. So then, like, out of the blue, I became his French interpreter, and I have been since then, with great gratitude.

It's an immense teaching to be with him because he's the perfect example of someone with absolutely the same in private and in public. When we see so many things today, you know these days of scandals, of people's secret, terrible life. He's totally the same. He will be the same with the lady who cleans the floor in the hotel and with the head of state he's going to see an hour later. It's a human being. This is a common humanity. Really doesn't make any difference. He's as concerned with the cleaning lady and the head of state. So that's an incredible lesson.

Feloni: In the year 2000, this is when you became involved with studying the neurological effects of meditation. That's something that the Dalai Lama himself is really involved in. What was that like, being involved in these studies where you're hooking up these things to your head?

Ricard: So, you know, Dalai Lama said if he had not been Dalai Lama, he would have been an engineer or a scientist. He always had this interest for ... it's part of the idea of exploring reality. So knowing that, some wonderful scientists, like the neuroscientist Francisco Varela said, "Well, why don't we help the Dalai Lama to meet great scientists, and maybe there is mutual benefit?" So this Mind and Life Institute began like that, I think, almost 30 years ago.

And in 2000 there was a meeting in Dharamsala, in India, on destructive emotion, and there, there were all the great scientists. So they asked me to come and present the Buddhist perspective on emotion. Which is kind of funny to do that in front of the Dalai Lama, but, you know, I got used to it.

So then the Dalai Lama said, "Oh, it's very good, all what we do and discuss those five days, but what can we contribute to society in a secular way that could be, you know, spread into schools, in society, in companies, something that can really help people for flourish?" So then there was a brainstorming, and the idea of bringing very good scientist with long-term meditators to do serious research on meditation.

So because I was a scientist in training, and I was there, I say, "OK, I'm happy to participate in that." I went to Madison, Wisconsin, and that's the first time I started to go in MRI's, and now I think I have been in possibly more in MRI's that anyone I know, over 100 hours.

So it's really a very lively sort of collaboration, because we sort of designed the protocol together. You know, you study meditation — but what meditation, what kind of meditation? How long you need to get into that state. How long takes to get out of it. So that they need to know that in order to establish the way they you look in your brain. Many of those scientists made a point to include someone like me as the coauthor of the scientific paper to show that it's not just a guinea pig but really participating to the conception of the research, and interpretation of the research. It's a wonderful collaboration.

Feloni: So something that you want to pass on to people is giving them this ability to change themselves through practice.

Ricard: One thing I would love to share is, definitely, that we vastly underestimate the power of transformation of mind. We spend so much energy and dedication to improve outer condition — which should be, you know, we should remedy poverty, social injustice, inequalities, fight for freedom and so forth, but we don't spend — far, far from it — spend the same amount of dedication to become a better human being by cultivating qualities, whether it's altruism, compassion, resilience, emotional intelligence, all those really crucial qualities for a good life and what you would call "success" — what I would call "success" — those are skills, and you can enhance them by becoming more familiar again and again and again with them.

Meditation is one way of doing it, which is bringing to mind again and again compassion and dealing with thoughts more intelligently and so forth. So that's something we should not underestimate.

Feloni: You've had several best-selling books. You've had a very popular TED Talk — a couple actually. Something that the Western media always loves to tag you with is "happiest man in the world." This is kind of like the MO — no matter how much you try to object against it.

Ricard: And there was some initial trigger, that we were working on the effect of compassion — it was not even ‘"happiness" — on the brain. And it is true that as the first guinea pig and then many others followed after me. But there was a quite ... unusual, amplitude of gamma waves in the brain, never described in neuroscience of a magnitude that was unheard of, when meditators engaged in this unconditional compassion to all beings.

So there was a thousandfold increase. So and then compassion and loving kindness are related to, well, being. You know, if you are altruistic, you are more likely to be happy — that is, than if you are selfish.

So then there was a documentary made by the Australian television ABC, and at one point they came to Nepal and sort of followed me. And then at the end they said, "Maybe this is the happiest person in the world." So it went away for three years, and suddenly a journalist for The Independent in England made the cover story, first page: "Mr. Happy has been blah, blah, blah." So instead of just vanishing as a funny thing, like it just went viral, and that's just it. I made this disclaimer but nobody is interested in disclaimers.

I guess people find it, like, "Well it's a neat idea, it's so good! No, not the one who jumps highest or run fastest," but it doesn't take a long time to realize that it is ... it cannot be! It's impossible to say that, because how could you know about 7 billion human beings? How some you don't know that somewhere in the mountains, in somewhere in Africa, there is an old lady that is incredibly happy. I have no idea!

Feloni: Reporters — they can't let go of a good headline.

Ricard: I've got the BBC calling me at midnight: "What does it feel like?" And I say, "Well, you can be the happiest woman or man in the world if you look for happiness in the right place, and happiness is a skill. So please, do cultivate it, by all means."

First, I apologized to my scientist friends because they might think I spread the rumor, very embarrassing. But one of my teachers said — because it came again and again — we were in Korea and again the newspaper brought that story. So he said, "Let it be, you know, don't go against it. And then you use it for spreading good ideas about compassion, about solidarity, about transforming your mind. So why not." It's a kind of platform. And maybe when I die, there will be on my tomb: "Here Lies The Happiest Person In The World." It's better than to be called the "Unhappiest One." But again, it's kind of a sweet joke.

The power of mediation, and other steps to help with your own 'personal flourishing'

Feloni: Yeah. And if that's how you're measuring your success, by how many people you can reach, how much good you can do.

Ricard: Well, there are two kinds of success. One is how much you can better a good person, and that my part is still, still a lot to travel, to what Buddhism calls "awakening," a sort of inner perfection. But at least I have the deep confidence that I am in the right direction, thanks to my teachers. So success is measuring how much endeavor, progress I feel I make, and have a lot to do, but I'm so sort of grateful that I'm able to progress step by step. So that's for me the inner success, personal success.

And then I would measure outer success of, how much good you can do in the world. You know, in a modest way, in my case. But if I can do something either through spreading ideas or, you know, having started with friends and collaborators the humanitarian projects, some way I'm sort of, it becomes sort of beyond me, when I hear that we help 200,000 people every year. So I didn't really help them with hands — on, something happened, it was a catalyst and somehow I was part of that so, I just rejoice. And so I think that's a ... rejoicing in the things you have been doing in your life and also the blessing that you got in your life. That's, I think, a good measure of success.

Feloni: A lot of the people we interview are business people. They measure success by how much money they bring to themselves or to their company, as well as kind of always pursuing a new business project. Can you have both?

Ricard: Well, it depends. If you if you look for fulfillment, happiness, and flourishing — it's well known that just betting on being richer, more powerful, more famous, and all that is, like, hoping to win the lottery. Those are known to be — OK, achievements — but those are well known that they are not core components of happiness and flourishing. This is well known! So is not rocket science, all the psychology will tell you that.

You know, it's called the Easterlin paradox. If you are above the poverty line, you have a reasonably decent life in terms of material. If you double, triple, quadruple, your income, your happiness stays flat. So it helps you to do other things — and it's good if you do use these resources to help others, for sure — but in terms of well-being, don't expect too much from that. It doesn't bring it.

And even about money, I like very much the study that was done by social psychologist in Canada, and she studied the effect of, on people's happiness to be giving, from $20 a month to big amounts if you can. And she studied in 27 countries and she measured, compared with those who never give anything, their level of well-being. And what she found is, people who give regularly means they have a component of generosity in mind. They are about 30% happier than those who don't. So she published a paper in Science, which is the top scientific journal, saying, "Money doesn't buy happiness unless given to others." So that's, for me, a measure of success, because what can you do for you with 2 billion that you cannot do with 1? Zero! But for others, you can do twice as much.

Feloni: Can you give an example of meeting someone who the public by all accounts would say is very successful, but when you met them they wouldn't meet your definition of success?

Ricard: Well, I mean we meet that all the time! People who have all the trappings of success and you find out that they are, they are so much in pain and difficulty. The Dalai Lama told a very funny story that he was invited to stay in one of those — I don't know billionaire, whatever — home and you know everything was so perfect, lots of servants. Huge swimming pools. And then in the morning he was brushing his teeth in the bathroom, and he is curious so he opened a little cabinet and he saw a lot of sleeping pills, antidepressants, and he said, he close it down and he said "well it doesn't seem that they are too happy."

So anyway, you know, I think there are of course wealthy powerful people who found meaning in their life but usually it comes when they really use their power, use their resources to be of service of others.

Feloni: On Wall Street and in Silicon Valley, meditation is popular — "mindfulness" is a buzzword. But for a lot of these people they want to use these skills to kind of be more competitive or take down other companies or other entrepreneurs, other investors. What does that seem like to you?

Ricard: So they might start like that, but interestingly I have a friend who has studied 100 CEOs who took up meditation and brought it in their company. In the beginning they were all hesitating for two reasons: They thought it would become softer, and then that it's a waste of time. But then they thought, OK, maybe not, maybe they become more, people become more attentive, so they can be more productive, and we can squeeze them, more out of them. So there were some of them as well like that.

But when they actually did it, they found two things that didn't actually expect. One, it brought them much better human relationships with their collaborators, with their subordinates, with everyone. And that's a huge thing. We know that the company that is good working prospers better. What this means is a company is good working — it's a good human environment! It's not just that they get higher pay and everyone behaves like shark to what each other. It's like, basically, it's good to work there because people feel good with each other.

And then the second thing they notice, it gives them better judgment, because instead of having their nose on the problem and the immediate, and has to be solved now, and then you can't wait — they had more space, they could look at from a different direction, and sometimes the best thing is to do nothing for one or two days and see how things are. So this was two unexpected quality.

So it is a constant sort of worry that mindfulness would be misused. And I think if you say caring mindfulness there's very less likelihood that it would be misused, because there might be mindful psychopath or snipers but there's no caring psychopath and no caring snipers. So that already keeps away those who want to use it for that kind of negative purposes.

Feloni: And if some of our listeners who've never meditated before wanted to try it, what would you recommend?

Ricard: Well, there are many good books. I mean, I have written one, not just for the sake of writing a book, but because everybody was asking that question, so I did a manual called "Why Meditate?" But try it, because we need to demystify meditation. There's nothing mysterious — you don't need to be sitting, trying to empty your mind with incense around you and a mango tree. It's really — take the loving kindness meditation. We all have unconditional love for a child, for someone dear. But it would last 10, 15 seconds, one minute, then we'd do something else, we go to about our work.

But suppose you take that very beautiful strong warm feeling and instead of letting it disappear for 15 seconds you cultivate it for five, 10 minutes, by reviving it. Coming back if you are distracted, keeping the clarity, the vividity — the vividness of that. So that's just mind training that is meditation. So there's nothing mysterious. It's just, like, you exercise for the piano, you exercise your mind for kindness, for mindfulness, for inner peace, for resilience — all that can be trained as skills. And neuroscience tells you again and again.

Feloni: Thank you very much, Matthieu.

Ricard: Welcome.

In a nutshell, that’s the apriorism of the agreeable “Once,” based on the 2007 cine of the aforementioned name. But “Once” is so abundant added than a simple adulation story. In fact, the artlessness and bluntness of the artifice allows the spotlight to flash on the absolute stars of “Once”: the songs.

When the low-budget Irish agreeable ball was appear in 2007, the indie blur starring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova , who wrote all the music, was an all-embracing sensation. And no wonder, the account of a adolescent Irish busker/vacuum repairman and arbitrary Czech annual agent was like annihilation before. It redefined the agreeable for a new bearing with sparse, yet achingly admirable and avant-garde songs by the duo, who had ahead performed calm in the Irish indie act Swell Season. (Hansard was alike added acclaimed for his time in allegorical Irish bedrock bandage The Frames.)

When the adventure was transferred to the date in 2011, it, too was a sensation, earning eight Tony Awards in 2012. Audience admired the raw accurate adulation story, the simple set and abnormally the songs

Beck Center for the Arts’ absurd assembly that opened this weekend and runs through February 24 keeps the focus durably area it should be: the music. Casting with agreeable theatre acceptance anatomy Baldwin Wallace and directed by Victoria Bussert, it’s a touching, adventurous – and fun – music-filled cruise to Dublin.

In one of the neatest touches, a ample ensemble of acceptance with instruments from cellos to guitars to drums, break on date at all times, dressed in artery clothes to jump in and beef out the piano and articulate apprenticed music. The appearance begins with all the acceptance on date accomplishing absonant jams to “I’m Gonna Be (500 miles)” by The Proclaimers and added Irish-tinged pop tunes. Taking our seats was like dispatch into a absolutely fun pub.

The basal set was comfortable and all-embracing at the aforementioned time. Constructed to attending like the central of a music store, it additionally angled as a Dublin street, Guy and Girl’s apartments and even, with some ablaze effects, the seaside.

With what is basically a two being show, the leads are consistently important. They couldn’t accept been bigger casting and added altogether commutual than at Beck Center. (In fact, I admired Jake Slater and Kelsey Browne alike bigger than Hansard and Irglova). Slater’s spot-on Irish accent and balmy articulation absorbed abundant affecting abyss on songs like “Say it to Me Now” and “Falling Slowly.” The coaction with Browne’s authentic agreeable vocals and piano on the Grammy acceptable “Falling Slowly,” fabricated for the aerial point of the show… suggesting abundant abeyant in the beginning, and apricot abandonment in the finale.

It’s one of the bets adulation songs of contempo decades, and this assembly added than does it, and the blow of “Once, ” justice. Adulation may not consistently assignment out, “Once” suggests, but we’ll consistently accept music.
