1916:The Irish Viewer Guide March 2016 THE IRISH 1916 : REBELLION On the Cover 1916: THE IRISH REBELLION Narrated by Liam Neeson, this landmark documentary tells the dramatic story of the events that took place in Dublin during Easter Week 1916, when a small group of Irish rebels took on the might of the British Empire. The documentary – featuring a combination of rarely seen archival footage, new segments filmed on location worldwide, and interviews with leading international experts – also uncovers the untold story of the central role Irish Americans played in the lead-up to the rebellion. Although defeated militarily, the men and women of the Easter Rising would wring a moral victory from the jaws of defeat and inspire countless freedom struggles throughout the world – from Ireland to India. An initiative of the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame, this documentary tells the story of the 1916 Easter Rising in a comprehensive way and, for the first time, places these events in their proper historical, political and cultural context as the precursor to an independent Irish state and the disintegration of colonial empires worldwide.

Without it we’d be prisoners of the present, unable to use the lessons of the past to change our future. From our first kiss to where we put our keys, memory MARCH 2016 MARCH represents who we are, and how we learn and navigate the world. But how does it work? For the first time, using cutting edge research, neuroscientists are exploring / the precise molecular mechanisms of memory. By studying individuals ranging from a 11-year old whiz-kid who remembers every detail of his life, to a man who had his spider phobias vanquished, to a woman who even had memories implanted, scientists have uncovered a provocative idea. For much of human history, memory has been seen as a tape recorder that faithfully registers information and replays it back intact. But now, researchers are discovering that memory is far more malleable, always being written and rewritten, not just by us but by others. As we are discovering the precise mechanisms that explain and KLCS VIEWER MAGAZINE VIEWER KLCS can even control our memories, the question is – are we ready?

When I was elected as president, I spoke about (1) increasing membership; (2) increasing the visibility of the John Braheny Scholarship Fund; and (3) providing quality panels with interesting topics. Rarely is reality better than the dream. However, in this case, I believe, collectively as an organization, the CCC surpassed imagination. I wish space permitted me to list all of the accomplishments with specificity, but, I think the growth in membership, increased donations to the scholarship fund, and increased attendance at our panels, speaks volumes of the CCC’s accomplishments. Moreover, to add to the CCC’s accomplishments, the Apollo Awards, as well as the CCC’s Mentorship/Ambassador program, were both launched this year and have now become staples of the CCC’s initiatives. No one succeeds in this business without the help of others, and, I would like to thank the CCC’s officers, board, and members for a successful year. My heart is humbled by the amazing privilege of service as your president. Thank you for the opportunity and the journey. Best, J. Charley Londoño, Esq.

  • Amythyst Kiah Wary + Strange Amythyst Kiah's Rounder Records
    Amythyst Kiah Wary + Strange Amythyst Kiah’s Rounder Records debut, Wary + Strange, marks the glorious combination of two vastly different worlds: the iconoclastic alt-rock that first sparked her musical passion and the roots/old-time music scene where she’s found breakout success in recent years, including recognition from Rolling Stone as “one of Americana’s great up-and-coming secrets.” With an unforgettable voice that’s both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter expands on the uncompromising artistry she most recently revealed as part of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose Kiah-penned standout “Black Myself” earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best American Roots Song and won Song of the Year at the 2019 Folk Alliance International Awards. When met with the transcendent quality of her newly elevated sound, what emerges is an extraordinary vessel for Kiah’s songwriting: a raw yet nuanced examination of grief, alienation, and the hard-won triumph of total self-acceptance. Produced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Amos Lee, Andrew Bird) and recorded at the legendary Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, Wary + Strange arrives as a deeply immersive body of work, endlessly redefining the limits of roots music in its inventive rhythms and textures. Despite its mesmerizing effect, the album’s sonic grandeur never eclipses the impact of Kiah’s storytelling, an element influenced by losing her mother to suicide when she was 17 and also by a longtime struggle to find her own sense of belonging. “A lot of these songs come from a moment in my 20s when I was grappling with trauma while also trying to navigate the experience of being a Black and LGBT woman in a white suburban area in a Bible Belt town,” says Kiah, who grew up in Chattanooga and later moved to Johnson City.
