A Personal Protective Equipment Manufacturer Minimized Overall Cost to Serve with Demand Management Solution | Infiniti Research's Success Story on...

Jon Batiste, the jazz pianist and The Late Show With Stephen Colbert bandleader, has spent the last three weekends marching in the streets of New York, leading musicians and protesters through hymns and songs like We Shall Overcome and Down by the Riverside. Those without a horn or drum sing and, at Mr. Batistes exhortation, say their names: George Floyd. Breonna Taylor. And many others.

On June 12, however, Mr. Batiste opened his protest concert, part of a series called We Are, seated at an upright piano in front of the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, wearing a mask and bright-blue protective gloves. Unaccompanied, surrounded by hundreds of silent protesters, he dug deep into a song that he says demands reinvention: The Star-Spangled Banner.

We all know that Francis Scott Key owned slaves, Mr. Batiste said of the songs lyricist in a Zoom interview last week. In Mr. Batistes hands, the national anthem seethes, mourns and aspires, drawing on the rollicking stride piano of Fats Waller and the volcanic eruptions of Art Tatum.

The way that Jimi Hendrix took the song, the way that Marvin Gaye or Whitney took it that tradition is what I am thinking of when I play it, Mr. Batiste, 33, added. The diaspora that they infused into it is a response to the toxic ideologies that are embedded in the song and thus in the culture.

The history of jazz is in many ways a history of protest, of celebrating blackness and insisting on individual freedom. The composer and bass player William Parker, who has taken free jazz from community centers to Town Hall, traces this spirit to works like Duke Ellingtons 1943 Black, Brown and Beige to later suites by Max Roach and Sonny Rollins, and the free jazz and loft jazz movements of the 1960s and 70s. Then came the 80s, when everybody went to sleep thinking that we had accomplished something, but all we really got were the leftovers, Mr. Parker said in a Zoom interview. Artists like Mr. Parker, of course, have performed and recorded revolution-minded fire music through the 1980s and up to the present, and the last decade has seen a resurgence in political jazz music, especially from the downtown, avant-garde and Brooklyn scenes.

Its certainly rare, though, to see a jazz musician with a household name and a national platform like Mr. Batiste inviting thousands into the streets. And the pianist has the support of Mr. Colbert, who has carved out time on his broadcast to discuss his musical directors activism.

In the present darkness that constitutes so much of the national conversation, Jon, by his example and his spirit, gives me hope I might do my job and maintain my own humanity, Mr. Colbert said in an email. I believe long after no one knows who I am, the name Jon Batiste will be spoken with admiration. Im grateful to know him.

A genre-crossing virtuoso and crowd-pleaser, Mr. Batiste is particularly suited for a moment of protest in the streets: Hes from New Orleans, where the citys famed Second Line marches have built a tradition of catharsis and release, he said, in which music lifts anguish or outrage toward a collective joy. He grew up surrounded by musical relatives and draws special inspiration from his grandfather, the president of a New Orleans postal workers union, who marched and organized for his workers.

Jon is walking in that lineage, and not just musically, said Brian Blade, a drummer and composer with his own strong New Orleans connection. Its in the essence of our feet on the ground, moving forward, gathering a movement through example.

A spirit of collective humanity has always powered Mr. Batistes art. His Late Show band, Stay Human, is a diverse ensemble known for marching right into the crowd during performances. The protests take their name from We Are, his new single, a pop gospel showcase written and recorded last year that features the marching band from St. Augustine High School in New Orleans. He recorded The Star Spangled Banner, with all that thunder, on the 2013 album Social Music. And at the marches the music is indisputably social.

It was such a powerful day, the saxophonist Grace Kelly, a frequent Batiste collaborator, said of Mr. Batistes June 6 march from Union Square to Washington Square Park, which organizers say drew 5,000 people. There were over 10 tubas, 30-plus trumpets, and maybe 50 saxophones. It was louder than we could speak. Louder than we could sing.

Mr. Batiste and his organizers are weighing the logistics of taking the We Are protests to cities across the United States in the coming months, focusing on a practical goal: voter registration and the exposure of voter suppression.

There are three candidates that were dealing with, Mr. Batiste said. Donald Trump, Joe Biden and the candidate of apathy. Apathys insidious. It comes from having a weight on our collective shoulders for centuries that has made us feel that we dont matter, that were not seen and that our vote doesnt count.

Like many of the citys jazz players, Caroline Davis, a saxophonist and composer, has protested at several Brooklyn and Manhattan rallies in recent weeks. Its inspiring to be with people who are in this for the long haul, she said, after marching with Mr. Batiste on June 6, the first time shes gotten to play music with colleagues in person since March.

Ms. Davis co-teaches a course in jazz and gender at the New School and feels a responsibility to honor jazzs history of protest. I feel that, as Nina Simone said, its the artists job to reference the time in which we live, she said.

Mr. Parker has dedicated his career to nurturing that activist spirit. He has marched dozens of times since 2016 with the Artists for a Free World marching band, a loose collective organized by Arts for Art, the nonprofit organization that hosts the annual Vision Festival and is currently presenting Zoom concerts and salons.

Ive been talking for the last, oh, 40 years or so about how every once in a while a window opens up and things can happen, Mr. Parker, 68, said. But we have to have numbers, we have to be persistent, and we have to really lay it out in the consciousness of people.

Last week, on Bandcamp he released the searing and mournful Baldwin, a track from an upcoming 10-disc box set of new material dedicated to those who want to eliminate hate, racism, sexism, greed and lies.

Hes not alone in sharing fresh music keyed to the cause: The drummer Johnathan Blake and the vibes player Joel Ross both released pre-Covid commissioned concerts from the Jazz Gallery on YouTube. The sets, titled My Life Matters and Being a Young Black Man, come with requests for donations to Black Lives Matter and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund. And the poet Camae Ayewa shouts: Enough! Enough! Enough! over the free-jazz squall of Irreversible Live in Berlin on a pair of blistering live sets from the protest-minded quintet Irreversible Entanglements.

Music is a wake-up call, Mr. Parker said. After the protest, you listen to it and it helps keep you awake. Because the problem is not to wake up its not to go back to sleep.

Mr. Batiste believes its his responsibility to use his platform to keep the crowds awake. That platform is also expanding. Mr. Batistes fingers will power the music in Soul, the first Pixar feature to center on a black lead, slated for a Nov. 20 release. He has maintained the kind of proudly unpredictable career common to 21st-century jazz musicians. In 2019 he released a pair of in-the-tradition Verve albums recorded at the Village Vanguard. Since then hes debuted a funk-favoring band of all-women collaborators on NPRs Tiny Desk Concerts and improvised on an independent release, Meditations, with the guitarist Cory Wong.

Despite his personal success, he remains focused on the inequality hes committed to fighting. Four hundred and one years of people and their voices being completely marginalized has led to systemic racism and sexism that has been perpetuated even in our triumphs, he said. The idea that we can have triumphs and also perpetuate toxic ideologies is a nuance that we have yet to explore in the public dialogue. But now theres a chance for a real collective consciousness shifting.

Jazz Is Built for Protests. Jon Batiste Is Taking It to the Streets. - The New York Times

In the wake of the current civil unrest occurring throughout our country, many companies are now seeing the gaping corporate hole where cultural diversity and inclusion initiatives should have been. Some may think its too little too late or be timid to jump into the discussion, but now it is imperative for companies to take the first step admit past faults, take action and begin to create change.

At Power Home Remodeling, our purpose is to improve everything we touch from our customers homes to our employees lives to our communities in which we live and work. But when we looked at our efforts in diversity and inclusion, it became clear we needed a formalized program to attract, retain and grow diverse talent making Power an inclusive place to work for everyone. In 2017, we launched our Cultural Diversity & Inclusion Initiative (CD&I) to breed open, educational dialogue and awareness, while developing formalized programs to drive more diversity within our walls.

Like many others, we still have a long way to go. Research studies show that around 30% or more diversity is a proven organizational tipping point when it comes to large-scale social change related to a minority group. At Power, our goal this year is to exceed 30% with hope to strongly exceed that proportion in the years to come as we continue to grow our programs, push for honest dialogue and make Power a place where everyone feels comfortable in their skin, without alteration. Its something we strive to be better at every day, and hope to empower others to do the same.

I recommend starting with listening. When you foster an open and safe workplace, employees feel comfortable sharing their voice and speaking their mind. But in order for these voices to be heard, you must encourage active listening from all parties. It is then you can strengthen your awareness and understanding and take this candid feedback to help shape how you address topics moving forward with your employees.

One way that we encourage listening and sharing is through our annual Cultural Diversity & Inclusion Summit. Natasha Maye, scrum master, started at Power the same week of the annual CD&I Summit in 2019.

Looking back, to see hundreds of diverse individuals come from all branches of the company, to have conversations about their diverse realities all to break through personal bias this made me very emotional, said Maye, who is Black. To top it all off, this coalition was started and led by a woman who looks like me. At that moment, I knew Power was a place I could stay for the future of my career.

The conversations that are fostered by Power are the conversations Ive prayed for especially to have them with individuals whom we spend more time with on a daily basis than our own family.

Much of the acceptance and positivity surrounding our differences within our walls is largely due to both leadership and employees who have created that space for our diverse colleagues. Not only does this foster an inclusive workplace from a company perspective, but it is championed down to a department level.

Powers Business Technology (BT) department is a group where its leadership is steadfast and determined to hire and onboard more diverse employees. Tim Wenhold, COO and partner at Power, makes it a point to consistently recruit for diverse tech talent and when we cant find it, we build diverse tech talent from within. Through Powers Code Academy an immersive six-month coding bootcamp that trains employees from other departments at Power for entry-level developer roles on the BT team. Recruiting and retaining diverse talent is critical, but what you cant lose sight of is developing that talent and Code Academy is one way we remained committed to that.

Timothy Wenhold speaking at a past PTW Dev Conference. (Technical.ly file photo)

Jonathan Levy, a Nitro support ninja, has seen this push for more diversity firsthand since coming onboard in 2017, both from a hiring perspective and from an educational perspective.

Our CD&I Initiative enables and fosters conversations about race and equality, said Levy. Specifically, in BT, weve had members of our team present and educate our group about members of their own community that have been pioneers within the technology space, and how they contributed to the betterment of society. Ive learned quite a bit from Kelly Tran, a [committee] member of CD&I. She continues to educate me personally more and more each month on her Asian Pacific American heritage, and how women from her culture have contributed to the industry.

Being an employee at Power and being exposed to the CD&I Initiative has allowed for continued personal growth for Levy and a deeper understanding of why racial equality in the workplace is so important, believing that all communities must have the opportunity to display their talents and contribute to the betterment of that business and the success for all.

CD&I has changed me in a myriad of positive ways, said Levy. One that stands out is my approach to others outside of my own community. I have learned to be patient and to foster conversations that educate others, so that we might come to a better understanding and be more successful together.

For companies that have already been prioritizing diversity and inclusion within the workplace, do not take your foot off the gas. And for those whose eyes have just been opened, start today. Listen to your employees to make your workplace an inclusive one. Make it a goal to recruit diverse talent. Develop programs that help retain and develop that talent. And, keep listening, learning and growing with your entire workforce.

Power Home Remodeling is committed to fostering and supporting an inclusive and diverse workplace for all. To learn more about career opportunities at Power, visit workatpower.com.

Around 249 flights will have been completed when Airbridge, an effort launched at a time when the US faced dire supply shortages, ends, according to an agency spokesperson.

Still, administration officials have left the door open for Airbridge to restart if necessary.

In mid-June, administration officials indicated that Airbridge would be phased out by June 30, but stressed it remains an option for future needs for personal protective equipment. FEMA Administrator Pete Gaynor told reporters that any decision to restart Airbridge will rely on information from states and the White House coronavirus task force, among others.

In late March, the federal government partnered with six major US distributors to rush equipment overseas to the United States. FEMA covered the cost of flights, averaging between $750,000 to $800,000 each, and six companies -- Cardinal Health, Concordance, Owens and Minor, McKesson, Medline, and Henry Schein -- distributed the equipment in the US.

Project Airbridge accelerated the shipment of supplies from weeks to days and got supplies straight to the frontline workers, according to Gaynor. Half of the supplies flown in went to designated hotspot areas and the other half went to distributors' customers, some of whom might also be in those critical areas.

CNN's Leyla Santiago contributed to this report.

The Supreme Court surprised both sides in the polarized abortion battle Monday by ruling, 5-4, that a Louisiana law requiring doctors who perform the procedure to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital is an unconstitutional infringement of a womans right to an abortion.

As expected, the courts four liberals in the case, June Medical Services v. Russo, said that the law did not provide any protections for women and merely made it harder for them to obtain an abortion and that it was nearly identical to a Texas law struck down in 2016. The four conservatives said the Louisiana law should be upheld, although that would have left the state with only a single abortion provider. The swing vote was Chief Justice John Roberts, who, in a concurring opinion, said he disagreed with the ruling in the Texas case but it is now precedent and thus should not be overturned.

This weeks panelists are Julie Rovner of Kaiser Health News, Alice Miranda Ollstein of Politico and Jennifer Haberkorn of the Los Angeles Times.

The panelists broke down the decision along several lines, including:

Whats the best diet and exercise routine for you? This is a question with a seemingly infinite number of answers and follow-up questions. Sifting through questionable health and fitness content on the Web can be exhausting, especially when quarantine has given many of us more time to invest in exercise. Thats why weve compiled some of our best coverage on health and fitness research for you to read and rely on.

The immune system protects the human body from diseases, but its power to destroy invading pathogens, if misdirected, can lead to illness and death. Many chronic diseases are linked to low-level inflammation. Researchers have therefore sought ways to turn the immune response off, or at least tamp it down. In the course of this work, Harvard Medical School professors Paul Ridker and Peter Libby made a fortuitous discovery: an experimental drug, acting through the immune system, was anti-inflammatory without being immunosuppressive at the same time. The idea that the immune response is multifaceted has led other researchers to explore its final phase, when healing occurs, after the inflammation caused by injury or illness has begun to subside. This is an active process mediated by a class of immune-system moleculescalled specialized pro-resolving mediatorswith properties that are just beginning to be understood as scientists work to develop them into a pharmacology for resolving inflammation.

This story about the power of exercise had its origins in a pile of press releases. Sometime in the late 1990s, I began saving science-based press releases that showed how exercise could prevent everything from gallstones to strokes, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and declines in mental acuity (that can occur naturally with age). Each of these was a separate finding, conducted by researchers who did not know each other, and who in most cases were not even acquainted with each others work. At the time, I found it extraordinary that so many maladies were linked through exercise, and wondered why. Shortly after the article was published, I began receiving heartfelt letters from people saying that it had changed their livesand that was extremely gratifying. The letters continued for many years, and the opening paragraph was reprinted with permission in several books. Scientific understanding of how exercise confers its many benefits has come a long way. Remarkably, however, more is being discovered all the time!

The culprits are well known: sleep, diet, exercise, and stress. These four lifestyle factors are implicated again and again in studies of chronic health conditions, and one way they affect the body is by causing inflammation. But how? wondered radiology professor Matthias Nahrendorf. Biologically speaking, what links inflammation to lifestyle? In a study published in 2019, he found an answer in the behavior of blood stem cells. When mice exercised, for instance, he saw that their blood stem cells went into a kind of dormancy, generating fewer pro-inflammatory white blood cells and platelets, without decreasing the number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. Soon, reports Harvard Magazine writer Jonathan Shaw, Nahrendorfs exercising mice had fewer circulating white blood cells than their sedentary counterparts, dampening inflammationan effect that persisted for weeks.

Bruce Spiegelman and Michael Greenberg

Imagine getting the neurological benefits of endurance exercise from a pill. The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute is working on it. In 2013, scientists there, working with Harvard neurobiologist Bruce Spiegelman, isolated a protein that increases with endurance exercise and gave it to sedentary mice. The protein turned on genes that promote brain health and lead to the growth of new neurons involved in learning and memory. If it can be made in a stable form and developed into a drug, it could improve therapies for cognitive decline in older people caused by diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons. Spiegelman noted at the time that more study was needednow presumably underwaybut said, What is exciting is that a natural substance can be given in the bloodstream that can mimic some of the effects of endurance exercise on the brain.

Recently, I was looking through our online archives for a lively piece to promote on social media. An article came up with a photo of a Radcliffe College gymsuit circa 1896that immediately piqued my interest. Womens fitness was highly encouraged at the time because it was widely thought that intellectual exertion would damage a young womans childbearing capacity. These gymsuits were made of heavy wool that was hard to wash, and buttoned from chin to belly. Today they may seem awfully restrictive, but back then these outfits, with their divided skirts, were rather scandalousand liberating.

In recent years, the microbiomethe universe of microbes teeming in the guthas become the focus of intense research as scientists have come to realize its powerful influence on human health. The microbiome has been linked to conditions like depression, anxiety, allergies, and obesitybut the mechanism remains mostly unknown. Two years ago, A. Sloan Devlin, a Harvard biological chemist, discovered that altering a single gene in a single type of bacteria in the human gut can vastly change metabolism. As she explained to writer John Griffin, Its a bacterium, and a single enzyme in a bacterium, thats causing a change in whether the host is using fats versus carbohydrates.

~Lydialyle Gibson, Associate Editor

Weve all experienced the internal conflict: we like the feeling we get from exercise, but the idea of just curling up on the couch with a pint of ice cream has appeal, too. These competing impulses are the two sides of a deep-seated, highly evolved tension. On the one hand, the human body has evolved in myriad ways that have made us among the best endurance athletes on the planet. On the other hand, humans evolved in an environment of food scarcity. Survival hinged on conserving energy. In the modern context of caloric abundance, that strategic laziness is maladaptive, as Lerner professor of biological sciences Dan Lieberman explains. In Born to Rest (with apologies to Christopher McDougall 85, author of Born to Run) he suggests tactical countermeasures that anyone can employ to help tip the scale toward exercise.

For this feature, I profiled Stare professor of nutrition and epidemiology Frank Hu, who has spent his life studying how diet and lifestyle affect health. A member of the 2015 USDA Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, Hu saw first-hand that developing a strong scientific base for recommendations isnt enough to get science-backed nutritional advice to the public. Today, he believes that a plant-based dietone low in meat, especially of the red or processed varietiescan improve personal and population health while reducing the production of greenhouse gases. No longer content just to let the science speak for itself, Hu has embraced political leadership, advocacy, and communication.

Its been more than a month since gyms and fitness studiosshut down for two months because of the pandemichave begun re-opening under Gov. Greg Abbott's orders. As many gyms have amped up their online classes and sanitation practices because of the coronavirus, we spoke to some of Houstons leading fitness instructors and coaches on challenging times, gym re-openings, and a fresh focus.

Meghan Smith, whose sold-out HIIT classes at Barrys are favorited by professional athletes and busy moms alike, faced health challenges of her own in the pandemics beginnings. In early March, I went through a minor health scare myself and ended up being hospitalized for five days, she says. Though not COVID-related, she says her experience was frightening, and she says her heart goes out to those who have contacted the virus.

Its like they say, You never know what you have until it's gone. It was scary not being able to run, lift weights, or even just go for a walk outside, says Smith. I realize now just how much I took my health for granted.

Having fully healed and with sights set on leading Barrys through this next chapter, Smith wants clients to be rest assured that they can enjoy the signature Barrys workout with peace of mind. Barry's has gone above and beyond to ensure the health and safety of our clients andstaff, and my job is to make sure that they have the same amazing experience as they did before. Whether it's at 25-percent occupancy or a sold-out classwe're definitely going to bring the heat!

HIP Fitness trainer and pilates instructor Antwan Hayes, winner of "Best Male Instructor" in last year's Best of ClassPass Awards, asks the community to gain a new perspective in light of recent events. We are in the midst of a historic time in this country with the COVID-19 pandemic coupled with the Black Lives Matter movement. Its about time we think about others for a change. He urges the fitness community to be hyperaware of how their behavior can affect the rest of the citycleanliness and attitude alike.

Personally, Im trying hard to be a change agent for more minorities to be healthier with the little reach that I have, he says. Black people are dying from COVID-19 at an alarmingly greater rate compared to other races, and experts attest that this is due to complications with previous underlying health conditions.

Hayes emphasizes the importance of exercising at least 30 minutes per day and making health-conscious food choices. There are so many disparities [in minority communities] in capacities where the inequity can be a matter of life and death. Health and wellness is one of them!

Former Major League Soccer player and sphere founder Mike Chabala says that while the health and wellness industry has been forever changed, his mindset towards life and its uncertainty remains the same. This crisis just requires more thought and creativity in delivering the same product, just now in a much safer way.

Well-known for his love for his clientswhom he calls "teammates"Chabala has been checking in on his sphere family more than ever before during the crisis. I builtsphere with the intention of creating communitywith a lockerroom feel so people could support each other on and off the field. Its incredible to see those relationships strengthen during this challenging time.

When hes not working on his group fitness concept or caring for those closest to him, he is setting new goals for both his mental and physical health: I just ran 100 miles in May. I'mreading four books in June and I really like the idea of changing my health and fitness goals up every month.

Truthfully, Ive always been one to sweat the small stuff, admits Taylor Grow, who celebrates her one-year anniversary as a Revolution Studio Cycle Instructor on June 30. And like many others, being restricted in my studio apartment during quarantine was really hard on my mind, body and soul, she says.

Grow says she went back to her hometown, Columbus, Ohio, for part of the quarantine, where she worked on developing a more holistic picture of health. She says her coping strategies in recent weeks have included getting plenty of fresh air and diving deeper into her yoga practice. These days I am committed to helping others (and myself!) focus on the bigger picture and on whats really important in life.

Grow can be found leading cycling classes as early as 6:30 a.m. at the studio. The most valuable thing I have learned over the course of this year is to continue to lead my riders to be their authentic selves, she says. It is the most vulnerable, difficult, and rewarding thing we can do for ourselves.

In addition to teaching at Barrys, John Michael Race works as a radiographer for local hospitals. Following Barrys Houstons closure on March 16, the athlete felt the pandemics effects from all angles. When the 'shelter in place' orders were given, my daily routine had become unhinged. I felt completely out of whack, he says. When things happen out of our control we deal with the stress in ways that can cause fluctuations in mood, strength, or body imageand thats okay!

Race says that this time has taught him to see health and wellness as a balance. Its important to recognize when the scales tip between work and rest, what caused it to happen, and then what we can do to come back into sync. In addition to practicing increased patience and self-awareness, Race is actively encouraging client feedback, so that individual concerns and weaknesses might turn into strengths over time. As they return, I want my clients to know that we may fall out of practice, but our strength comes from a lifetime of hustle. You can never undo a push-up or a sprint.

As a former dancer, Jasmine Davis brings her love of music to the Megaformer and Climb classes at HIP Fitness. Music is universal, just like math. I want to include songs in my playlist that make people feel good and help them push through, Davis explains. Helping people feel their best, particularly during distressing times, is something that comes naturally to Davis, who says her optimistic mentality is essential to her practice. Hey, times are different, but I want the clients to feel like HIP is the same safe haven. Ill do whatever I can to help make them comfortable and to help keep the studio clean.

Through the ups and downs of a tumultuous spring and what is now a distressing summer, the college professor wants her clients (and the general community) to focus on total wellness. Sometimes people think that wellness is just about being physically fit, but picking up a new hobby or a new taskgrowing as a person overallis what wellness means to me.
