"['Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth', 'We get a lot of mail at NPR Music, and alongside the tiara we ordered as the grand prize at our upcoming eating contest is a slew of smart questions about how music fits into our lives — and, this week, thoughts on people who simply don\'t enjoy music. Dave M. writes via email: "I\'ve run into a couple of people in my life who have claimed they don\'t like music. At all. I find this impossible to comprehend. I\'m certain they weren\'t joking, but they could have been lying, or maybe just being contrarian. Do you think it\'s possible for a human being to truly not enjoy music? If so, can those people possess a soul?" I, too, have encountered people who\'ve straight-up told me they don\'t like music — and, as you do in the case of folks you\'ve met, I believe them. As much as people think of music as a universal language that transcends all cultural and communication-based barriers, music is a matter of taste, and taste is subjective and slippery. The spectrum of human appreciation almost invariably includes an option marked "none of the above," whether we\'re talking about music, sex, religion, or just about any pursuit that doesn\'t cause us to literally drop dead for lack of it. "None of the above" can be as deeply felt and seriously considered as any other reaction to art — be it an individual work or art writ large. To dismiss "none of the above" as mere contrarianism or misanthropy or defiance is, I think, at least a minor failure of empathy. I\'ve written this before, probably more than once, but I generally choose to believe that people come by their tastes honestly, whether or not those tastes make sense to others. As for any given human being\'s ability to possess a soul, we\'ll steer clear of the theological: You\'re asking if people who don\'t like music are capable of properly appreciating and plugging into the human experience, right? Setting aside the fact that deafness doesn\'t preclude well-roundedness, think about how many people you know who view their passions as central to their identity. You\'ll find folks who can\'t comprehend how others wouldn\'t appreciate visual art, or fine wine, or cars, or origami, or golf — and if you\'re the pitiable character who doesn\'t, then they assume you must envy their enjoyment. Maybe you do envy it, maybe you don\'t, but I\'ll bet you wouldn\'t view your own indifference as an embarrassment or spiritual defect. With its endlessly varied forms and rhythms, music is one of the world\'s most accessible, important and far-reaching means of human expression. But I like the idea that every love in our life is something or someone we choose; that every process of discovery, musical and personal, begins when we face a choice, examine our options closely, and say yes.

Question: Drought-Stricken Cape Town Braces For Water To Run Out In April

represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on npr

Cape Town officials are tightening water restrictions amid claims the city could run out of water by April 21. After three years of intensive drought, officials say residents are bracing for "Day Zero," the day water could stop flowing. South Africa's second-largest city would be the first major city in the developed world to run out of water, if residents do not heed new stricter water measures. The region is experiencing its worst drought in a century, which experts say has been exacerbated by climate change and in Cape Town, rapid population growth. Starting Feb. 1, Cape Town will force residents to cut their water consumption to 13.2 gallons per day, down from 23 gallons. The city has already banned filling swimming pools and washing cars. Also in an October mandate, people were asked to take two-minute showers and limit use of appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines, Pumza Fihlani, a BBC correspondent in Johannesburg, tells Here & Now's Robin Young. "For people that are used to the luxury that Cape Town promises, this has come across as a rather drastic measure," she says. "People are reusing some of the water that they've used in other areas and finding other uses for it around the household. This means limiting the amount of water you drink, limiting the showers that you take." City officials are blaming residents for ignoring previous water restrictions. Mayor Patricia de Lille said last week that more than 60 percent of residents are using too much water and threatened them with fines. "We can no longer ask people to stop wasting water. We must force them," the mayor told reporters. The mayor also announced the city moved "Day Zero" up a day because of the overuse of water. When Cape Town reaches "Day Zero," residents in the popular tourist city of 3.7 million will have to line up to collect 6.5 gallons of drinking water per person per day at some 200 distribution stations. Those restrictions adhere to the World Health Organization's guidelines for the minimum amount of water needed in emergencies. But other experts say city planners failed to anticipate that the city's six dams, which are sourced by rainfall, would run out of water as drought worsened and the population grew, Fihlani says. Dam levels have dropped to 15.2 percent capacity of usable water, down from 77 percent in Sept. 2015, according to The Los Angeles Times. "Not enough dams have been built over the time that the population has grown and infrastructure has remained the same and that's why the city now finds itself in the position that it's in," she says. Despite warnings since 2004, local government officials are criticizing South Africa's national government for its slow response to the crisis. As The Los Angeles Times notes:  Western Cape Premier Helen Zille and provincial authorities have accused the national African National Congress government of failing to build and maintain new infrastructure and send adequate emergency drought relief. It was not until August that the national government allocated the city $1.5 million to deal with the crisis.  Prior to tightening water measures, the city attempted to shame residents into using less water by posting an online map tracking water consumption across the city. Cape Town has also tried to reduce water usage by weakening the water pressure and installing water management devices, according to Reuters. Desalination projects and new efforts to extract groundwater are still in the early stages, Fihlani says. "A number of these projects need money," she says, "and it's not clear that the city will have enough time to raise the money that they need to fund these rather ambitious projects."

Question: Global Poverty Declines Even Amid Economic Slowdown, World Bank Says

The number of people living in extreme poverty is continuing to plunge, despite the 2008-09 financial crisis and slowing global economic growth, according to a World Bank study released Sunday. In the report, "Poverty and Shared Prosperity," the World Bank says the progress proves that eliminating extreme poverty is an achievable goal. Here's the study's key finding: In 2013, fewer than 800 million people lived on less than $1.90 a day. That's less than 11 percent of the global population. As recently as 1990, about 35 percent of all people lived in such extreme poverty. That means about 1.1 billion people rose out of extreme poverty. Even with a rocky global economy, earnings rose for the poorest 40 percent of people in 60 out of 83 countries studied between 2008 and 2013. In all, about 100 million fewer people were living in dire poverty in 2013, compared with 2012, the World Bank said. The researchers tie future poverty declines to reducing inequality. Between 2012 and 2013, the income gap shrank in 49 of 83 countries studied. The World Bank hopes to use lessons from those countries to combat inequality where it persists. "We hear a lot about rising inequality," said researcher Ana Revenga, in a conference call with journalists. But in reality, "inequality has come down in the last 10 years" in many low- and middle-income countries, she said. Another researcher, Francisco Ferreira, said that inequality is "not rising inexorably everywhere. ... It can and has been successfully reduced." The World Bank studied several countries where inequality declined in recent years including Brazil, Cambodia, Mali, Peru and Tanzania. It identified six successful policies:  Early childhood development and nutrition Universal health coverage Universal access to quality education Making cash transfers to poor families Rural infrastructure — especially roads and electrification Progressive taxation  Though poverty and inequality have continuously trended down, Ferreira said, "the pockets of poverty that remain will become increasingly harder to reach and address." The most significant contributions to declining poverty between 2012 and 2013 came from East Asia and the Pacific. With smaller proportions of people in those regions living in poverty, their contributions to future declines will shrink. Now, 50 percent of extremely poor people live in sub-Saharan Africa.

Given ['Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR', 'Comedians get away with making fun of them, public officials get called out for using them, but how many of us believe in them?  Farai Chideya takes a closer look at racial stereotypes with R. L\'Heureux Lewis — assistant professor of sociology and black studies at the City College of New York — and blogger Macon Detornay of Stuff White People Do.  His blog explores stereotypes and assumptions from a white person\'s perspective. FARAI CHIDEYA, host:  This is News & Notes. I\'m Farai Chideya. During the presidential campaign, a Republican women\'s group printed what they called "Obama bucks". This is a fake bill that showed a food stamp with a bucket of fried chicken and a watermelon on it. Now, that might be a mega-obvious example of racial stereotypes in action, but don\'t most of us have some moments when we look at a person and make a judgment based on race and not much else?  Where do stereotypes come from? How do they change our interactions with other people? And can and should they be vanquished? We\'re continuing our series on race on a conversation with L\'Heureux Lewis, assistant professor of sociology and black studies at the City College of New York. Welcome, L\'Heureux.  Prof. L\'HEUREUX LEWIS (Sociology and Black Studies, City College of New York): Thanks for having me.   CHIDEYA: So this presidential campaign was like a racial litmus test. How much stereotyping did we see and was it good, in a way, to see it for what it was?  Prof. LEWIS: I think this presidential election marked a time when we got to see race up and front to everybody. So there was a lot of racial stereotypement happening in obvious ways, like you mentioned, with the Inland Empire food stamp example, but also in subtle ways, notions of who\'s going to be tough on crime, who\'s going to be tough on immigration. These things that weren\'t explicitly discussed were often linked to the candidates.   Also, McCain and Obama\'s discussion of who was playing the race card, do I look different than the person on the dollar bill, was a discussion in allusion to racial stereotypes. So it was a great opportunity to think about race in an upfront fashion that isn\'t always present.  CHIDEYA: Now, how do you define a stereotype?  Prof. LEWIS: I define a stereotype as a gross generalization that may be based on a kernel of truth. Most stereotypes come from historical narratives. Some of the most traditional ones are African-Americans like chicken or white men can\'t play basketball. All of these things try to take something that may have some truth and may not and extend it and apply it to everyone. The basic goal of a stereotype, be it racial or gender, is to limit the possibility of the group that they\'re talking about, limit the possibility that white men play basketball, limit the possibility that Asian Americans don\'t do well at math. These are the things that stereotypes are intended to do.  CHIDEYA: Of course, it\'s funny when you mention the basketball issue, which - you\'ve got the movie, "White Men Can\'t Jump." But also, basketball, the initial phases of basketball were all-white teams, and you had black folks kind of breaking into what was, you know, a segregated sport.  What is the evolution of stereotypes over time? I mean, in a way, a movie like "White Men Can\'t Jump" was an acknowledgement that there was a stereotype but also that you could be playful about it. So how do these discussions about stereotypes evolve over time?  Prof. LEWIS: Stereotypes evolve based on where we are as a society. So in the past, you mentioned with basketball, basketball, which was a predominantly white sport, just like baseball was a predominantly white sport, when there were separate facilities in which people were engaging in these activities. The notion was African-Americans, black people, aren\'t qualified to participate, so we keep them separate. Once the society shifted, all of the sudden we shift from these sports are white territories or traditionally white territories to they\'re black-dominated, to now and to the point when you look at an NBA game, folks are just, well, there aren\'t many white players in there so we need affirmative action for white players. In fact, stereotypes correspond to the racial landscape we\'re at.  CHIDEYA: L\'Heureux? Are you there?  Prof. LEWIS: Yes, I am.  CHIDEYA: OK.   Prof. LEWIS: And when we\'re looking at that landscape, it\'s important to know who\'s represented. So when we\'re talking about education, who are the people who are achieving? Who are the people who are graduating? So there\'s an ongoing narrative now about the stereotypes of African-Americans not valuing education. But if you look at it historically, African-Americans were the people who supplied their own schools, who used their tax money to develop independent schools when the U.S. government wouldn\'t fund their schools, who fought for Brown vs. the Board of Education and continued to provide legislation that said, we have to challenge and fight for the right o'], a positive would be ['Represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on NPR', 'Inside The Thorny Landscape Of Racial Stereotypes']

Question: JEFF The Brotherhood: Tiny Desk Concert

Jake and Jamin Orrall said they'd do it. We didn't doubt them for a second, but when the actual brothers behind JEFF The Brotherhood took off their shirts before a "sad love song," there were still plenty of giggles in the NPR Music office. Of course, by "sad love song," JEFF The Brotherhood means "Bummer," a distorted, three-string guitar doo-wop complete with whoa-oh-oh-ohs. Like the Ramones or early Weezer, the Nashville power-punk duo is really good at being funny without writing gimmicky songs. And, while "Bummer" ostensibly comes off a breakup record, We Are the Champions, it functions in the same humorously harsh way as Weezer's Pinkerton. You really feel for these guys, but you still want to bum-rush the mic and sing along, especially during the fuzzy rager "Shredder." We didn't bum-rush the Tiny Desk, which JEFF The Brotherhood decorated with taxidermy. That would have been awkward. But for 17 minutes, imagine it's summer and a mixtape of We Are the Champions songs is playing full blast in the Dodge Charger — with "Bone Jam" as the bonus track from 2010's Heavy Days.

Question: Divino Niño Uses Old Friendships And Retro Sounds To Create 'A Little Vacation'

Javier Forero and Camilo Medina — bassist, guitarist and alternating lead singers of the rock quartet Divino Niño — were childhood friends in their hometown of  Bogotá, Colombia. They lost touch near the end of pre-school when Forero's family moved to Miami. But years later, after Medina's family had also moved up to Miami, the old friends re-connected during middle school. The boys' friendship was bolstering by attending the same mega-church. That's where they had their first opportunity to play and perform music together. Now,  Divino Niño's full-length debut, Foam, meshes together all those years of influence, migration and experience. Back in middle school, neither Forero nor Medina had yet developed an interest in the kind of dream-pop, retro-sounding music that dominates Foam."We were completely different at the time. I was listening to more hip-hop, and he was more into punk and that kind of stuff," Medina says.  On his end, Medina says, he was mostly concerned with fitting in with the other kids in his new city. "I had just gotten to the U.S., and my English wasn't super good, and I was trying to fit in. So I looked just like a Hot Topic commercial — like, I had the spikey hair," Medina recalls his 13-year-old self. "I was just doing my best to fit in with everybody. I remember wearing a Flogging Molly shirt just because it had a skull, but I had no idea it was a band." Soon after they met as adolescents, Forero and Medina both became regulars at the mega-church that Forero's family attended. There, they found the space to play their instruments and perform before audiences in church settings. Still, in other ways, their commitment to the church restricted their creativity and their growing interest in music. "We weren't allowed to have girlfriends, to listen to anything that wasn't Christian," Forero says. "It was very limiting." It was only after moving to Chicago for college that the pair discovered the groups that largely inspire Divino Niño's work today — namely, The Beatles and their contemporaries. Medina describes first hearing The Beatles, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Beach Boys and records of the '60s and '70s during college: "When we heard all this stuff, we were like, 'Oh my God, we have been missing out on the best music in the world.' And I remember thinking very clearly, like, 'I don't understand. From the '60s until now, what have all these bands been doing? Like, everybody should be sounding like the Beatles, because it's the best music ever." Even though the band is based in Chicago, the music on Foam, like "Quiero" for example, feels breezy, warm and relaxed. The bandmates say that's to provide a sense of escape. "I think our personalities are a bit softer and smoother and a bit more easy-going. We haven't been scarred by the winter all of our entire lives," Medina says. "'Quiero' has a very summer vibe. The beginning sounds like you just opened up a beer, about to hang out."  True to Medina's word, Foam does sound a lot like The Beatles. Divino Niño's music, sung alternately in English and Spanish, wrap predominantly love songs in a psychedelic lilt. Medina and Forero explain that this lighthearted quality does not mean that their group is avoiding political topics, including those that concern Colombia (like the country's role in the Venezuelan refugee crisis.)  "It's not like I don't want to touch on those topics — and eventually, maybe we will," Forero says. "But I think that, at this point for this record, we wanted to just offer entertainment." "For me, I would love to give people a little vacation," Medina adds.  Listen to the full aired story at the audio link.

Question: A Note on 'Projected' Winners

Represent this subtitle to find a title that might be right above it on NPR

NPR's Ron Elving, senior Washington editor, explains the process by which NPR and other news organizations will "project" winners of the 2004 election. While America votes, thousands of poll workers are preparing to count the votes. If all goes as planned, or if even most goes as planned, the vote will be counted faster than ever. But there are also thousands of people working to report the results even faster — and to report it hours or even days before the official count. These are the exit pollsters and the stringers for the Associated Press who will relay information from the polls and tally points around the country as fast as possible so that analysts at the nation's major national news organizations can project results by state. Exit polls are done at selected precincts that have a history of predicting outcomes in key locations in each state. The pollsters ask people leaving the polls to share information about themselves and their vote anonymously. This information is collected in waves throughout the voting day. It is fed into computers and transmitted to the broadcast and cable networks and the Associated Press (all private news organizations that are partners in the enterprise). Each news organization then analyzes the data, using its own computer models and experts. The experts include both their regular political journalists and election professionals on contract. As the evening goes on, the exit polls are supplemented by early returns of actual votes tabulated by the Associated Press, which employs 5,000 people to gather this data on this one night. These sources of information are aggregated by the people and machines working at each national news organization. Each of these operations then attempts to project winners in each of the 50 states, to be announced as soon as the polls in that state close. Where the winner is not clear, each individual news organization will choose when to project a winner in that state. When each news organization has called enough states to give one candidate 270 electoral votes, it will project that candidate the overall winner. In the past, breakneck competition between broadcasters has tempted the prognosticators to guess as soon as they feel reasonably sure. This has led to very early projected winners in the elections of 1980 and 1984 and 1996 — when the suspense was over early even on the East Coast. These state projections have almost never been wrong. But the potential for error was always present. In 1996, New Hampshire was projected for President Clinton by mistake (vote totals from one precinct were misreported) and then corrected. That did not matter in the overall result, but a far more significant error occurred in 2000. In Florida, exit polls pointed to a win for Democrat Al Gore but were not sufficient to project him the winner. Nonetheless, overeagerness and overconfidence led to a premature call for Democrat Al Gore in that state by several news organizations (including NPR). This was reversed and became a premature call for George Bush, which led in turn to the premature judgment that Bush had won overall. In fact, Florida's electoral votes were not finally awarded to Bush until five weeks later. As a result, this year, all news organizations involved have promised to be more cautious.

Question: Beyman Bros: The Thinking Person's Americana

Actor and filmmaker Christopher Guest is probably best known for his role as lead singer Nigel Tufnel in the 1984 mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap.  But he's always been a serious musician. Now, for the first time in his career, Guest is sharing that side of his personality. He and some longtime friends calling themselves The Beyman Bros have just released their first CD, Memories of Summer as a Child. Spend a few minutes inside the intricate, placid music of The Beyman Bros, and it's clear that Guest is serious about music. Of course he had to be at least a decent musician to pull off Spinal Tap and the spot-on satires of old folk music in the 2003 parody A Mighty Wind. But the music of The Beyman Bros suggests he's more accomplished than that. Just listen to the way Guest and his longtime collaborator, guitarist David Nichtern, interact: It's as if they're flying in formation. Guest plays guitar and mandolin, mandolin cello, and even the clarinet. The Beyman Bros' members have been playing together informally for years, mostly in Guest's kitchen. Nichtern says that when they began to work on the new album, they started with simple rhythm-guitar ideas. Once they arrived at an intriguing mood, they'd go off exploring. Those collaborative journeys led The Beyman Bros to a striking, spacious sound: instrumentals that exude the placid calm of meditation music, but also carry flashes of rock-guitar brilliance, late-night swamp blues and the carefully knit tapestries of bluegrass. It's thinking person's Americana — lovely and low-key and enchanting, and nothing you'd expect from the guy who gave the world guitar amps that go up to 11. MELISSA BLOCK, host:  Actor and screenwriter Christopher Guest is best known for his mockumentaries, including "Best in Show" and "This Is Spinal Tap."  (Soundbite of movie, "This Is Spinal Tap")  Mr. MICHAEL MCKEAN (Actor): (as David St. Hubbins) (Singing) Stonehenge! Tis a magic place where the moon doth rise with a dragon's face. Stonehenge…  BLOCK: But music is more than a joke for Christopher Guest. And he's got a new CD of instrumental music to prove it. Guest and several longtime friends call themselves The Beyman Bros. Their CD is called "Memories of Summer as a Child." Tom Moon has this review.  (Soundbite of music)  TOM MOON: It doesn't take long, with the intricate, placid sounds of The Beyman Bros, to realize that Christopher Guest is serious about music.  (Soundbite of music)  MOON: Of course, Guest had to be at least a decent musician to pull off "Spinal Tap" and the spot-on satires of old folkies in the 2003 parody "A Mighty Wind."

(Soundbite of music)  MOON: Guest plays guitar and mandolin, mandolin cello and even the clarinet. He and the two other multi-instrumentalists of The Beyman Bros have been playing together informally for years, mostly in Guest's kitchen. Nichtern says that the songs on this album started as simple rhythm-guitar jams. When they'd land on an intriguing mood, they'd seize it and build a song around it.  (Soundbite of music)  MOON: The collaborative explorations led The Beyman Bros to a spacious sound. These instrumentals have the calm of meditation music. But they also carry flashes of rock-guitar brilliance and late-night swamp blues, and the carefully knit tapestries of bluegrass.

Question: Milesburg, Pa., Ahead of the Wiffle Ball Curve

Wiffle ball began as a sport for kids, but in the past few years it's grown up. Adults put on uniforms and stage a national tournament.  But in Milesburg, Pa., as Cynthia Berger of NPR station WPSU discovered, wiffle ball has been in style for decades. And the folks there play by their own rules.      LIANE HANSEN, host:       For those who prefer outdoor games to word games, consider Wiffle Ball.      It used to be a backyard sport for kids, but in recent years, the game      played with the plastic bat and a ball pocked with holes has become      trendy.  Now it's a sport for grownups with uniforms, a national      tournament and official rules. In rural Milesburg, Pennsylvania, Wiffle      Ball has always been in style and the players have their own rules, thank      you.  Cynthia Berger reports from the sidelines of the Milesburg Wiffle      Ball Tournament.       (Soundbite of Wiffle ball game)       CYNTHIA BERGER reporting:       On a recent Saturday at Milesburg Community Park, the playing field's      usually reserved for T-ball or swarming with 20-something guys in      mismatched muscle shirts.  There were three Wiffle ball games going on at      once, with Team Blazer, named for the car, favored to win even though      they'd had a couple close games.       Mr. PRESTON CRESIVITCH(ph) (Wiffle Ball Player):  Pulled them both out,      luckily.  We're getting beat here.  So a bunch of young kids, 18, you      know? That was us six years ago.       BERGER:  Preston Cresivitch is captain of the Blazers.  He looks about 18      but he's in his mid-20s.  He came back from his new job in Maryland just      for this tournament.       (Soundbite of applause)       BERGER:  The guys on the Blazers have been playing Wiffle Ball together      since they were kids.       Mr. CRESIVITCH:  We all went to the same high school and we've just kept      in contact out of high school.  And a few of us lived together, went to      Penn State together.       BERGER:  The Blazers kept up their Wiffle Ball tradition in college.  The      back yard of their rented house made an excellent playing field.       Mr. CRESIVITCH:  If it was a nice day, you know, we'd all would skip      classes and go play some home run derby.       Unidentified Person:  Whoo!       BERGER:  When he moved to Maryland, Cresivitch was surprised to find that      Wiffle Ball isn't part of his new neighborhood's local tradition.       Mr. CRESIVITCH:  The few people I talked to don't even really know what      it was and, you know, I just got, like, dumb looks, you know?  Like, we      play softball, too.  I couldn't even find a Wiffle Ball or bat.  I went      to Dick's and Wal-Mart and neither one of them had anything.  I was kind      of shocked, really.       BERGER:  The tournament, sponsored by the Milesburg Lions, grew out of a      family tradition--Sunday ball at Uncle Mike's hunting camp.       Unidentified Man #1:  We have a big lawn out there, so we started playing      Wiffle Ball every Sunday up there and decided it was--it'd be interesting      to see if we could really put together a tournament and how the interest      would be.  We weren't sure how that would work, and it turned out there's      a lot of interest in this game.       BERGER:  A lot of local interest.  Eighteen teams signed up to play this      year, but Mike Cresivitch says the trendy new teams turn up their noses      because Milesburg plays by baseball rules, not official Wiffle Ball      rules.       Unidentified Man #1:  Travel all over the state and out of the state to      play in tournaments, but they just won't try ours out because they said      they just--you know, it's not real Wiffle Ball, they call it.  And we say      it is and our Wiffle Ball, so it works out nice for us.  We aren't going      to change it.       Unidentified Man #2:  Go, go, go!       Unidentified Woman:  Go!  Go!       BERGER:  At the end of the day, the Milesburg Lions had raised $1,200 for      charity.  The Blazers had lost to the young guys from Fisher's Auto      Center, but the Blazers were cool.       Unidentified Man #3:  Good job, Larry.  Hey, you did your job.       BERGER:  They'll be back next year because there's just something about      Wiffle Ball.       (Soundbite of applause)       BERGER:  For NPR News, I'm Cynthia Berger in State College, Pennsylvania.

Question: New Mix: Ólafur Arnalds, First Aid Kit, More

It's been 159 days, or 3,816 hours or 228,960 minutes since I last saw a concert. I was reminded of this when I listened to a version of Willie Nelson's "On The Road Again," performed by the Swedish duo, First Aid Kit. It's the line, "The life I love is makin' music with my friends / And I can't wait to get on the road again," that really got me. And the footage from First Aid Kit's video really drove it home. I also got nostalgic from hearing the song by Blu DeTiger, titled "Figure It Out," which made me want to drive down the road, music cranked and windows open.  Also, on the show this week: NPR Music's Cyrena Touros brings us the music of Pillow Queens, an Irish band that makes music in the spirit of Pussy Riot.  We also hear the artist Anjimile, a nonbinary trans musician who reminded Cyrena of the folkish movement of the early 2000s.  I'm enthralled by a six-song EP from the artist known as AMAARA and her music that grew out of the ending of a marriage and other life-altering events.  I'm also thrilled to have new music from one of my favorite composers, Ólafur Arnalds. He's teamed up with another Icelandic musician known as JFDR for a compassionate tune filled with electronics and strings. We end on an uplifting note from Sonny Singh. The trumpeter from Red Baraat offers us a tune steeped in Sikh devotional themes, with an anthemic Punjabi sound. 1. First Aid Kit: "On The Road Again" (Willie Nelson cover) 2. Blu DeTiger: "Figure It Out" (Single) 3. Pillow Queens: "Holy Show" from In Waiting 4. Anjimile: "Baby No More" from Giver Taker  5. AMAARA: "Desert Storm" from Heartspeak 6.

Question: Looking Forward: How Will Lives Change?

Represent this text to find its title about the same news but with slightly less depth!

As Day to Day goes off the air after nearly six years, we're thinking about endings — but we begin by looking forward. Joel Kotkin, who studies metropolitan development and urban planning, talks with Madeleine Brand about how people might be arranging their lives in the coming five years. And author Jamais Cascio talks with Alex Cohen about where technology might take us. MADELEINE BRAND, host:  The world has changed a lot in the last five years. That's history - but what about the future? We want to know how we might be living five years from today. Joining me now is Joel Kotkin. He's the author of the book, "The City of Global History" as well as the book "The New Geography." Welcome to the program.   Mr. JOEL KOTKIN (Author: "The City of Global History" and "The New Geography"): Nice to be here.   BRAND: All right. So, much of the news in the past year has been driven by the collapse of the housing market, and let's talk about what that's going to mean for us five years from now. How will that change where people live and how they live?  Mr. KOTKIN: Well, I'm not necessarily sure how much it will change where they live. I think it's going to affect when they move there. In other words, I think that in the short run this is, of course, very catastrophic for people, and people aren't going anywhere because they can't sell their homes. And if housing prices remains somewhat down from the highs of the last few years, I think there'll be a lot of opportunity for people to actually go out and buy homes or condominiums in areas that they want to live in. You'll see a period right now of stasis, and then a period of great dynamism once the economy begins to recover.  BRAND: Well, we did see a period of great dynamism when it came to building these houses in places where there actually hadn't been any houses before. So there was this great outward push of the exurbs, and places like metro Las Vegas became the fastest growing areas in the country. Is that going to just pick up where it left off five years from now, or will we see another place that'll be hot, another area of the country, another kind of area where people will be living?  Mr. KOTKIN: I think fundamentally, what's going to drive mobility and where people are going to want to live is going to be jobs. So people are going to go to those places where they can find employment. Interestingly enough, some places like Texas are continuing to attract lots of people, while places like Las Vegas and Phoenix, not so much as they were before.   BRAND: And what about for traditional cities - the New Yorks, the Los Angeleses?   Mr. ROTKIN: Well, I think it's going to be rough because these places have many problems politically. They are expensive, they're heavily regulated. They have high taxes. New York, of course, is going to go through a very difficult period because about 35 percent of all the total income in New York City now is dependent upon the financial service sector. L.A., I think, is going to be a more of a mixed bag. I mean, California's still, you know, has everything going for it except its government. I mean, people are still going to want to come to California. The question is whether or not they're going to be able to stay and find work.  BRAND: And when you look at government as a whole, I mean, there is just a fundamental shift now in the role government is playing in the economy and in our lives, what with the stimulus package and bank bailouts. And I'm wondering, in five years from now, what do you think that will result in, in terms of the effects it has on the way you and I live?  Mr. KOTKIN: Well, I think one of the things, there's going to be an enormous shift of power to Washington, D.C., a concentration of power such as we have not seen probably since the Second World War. We're going to have much, much more emphasis on going on your hands and knees to Washington. I don't think it's necessarily a very good development, but I think it's going to have an enormous impact. Clearly, we're going to be a lot less of a market-based economy, at least in the next four of five years, than we have been in the past.  BRAND: Joel Kotkin in the author of the book, "The City: A Global History." Thank you very much.  Mr. KOTKIN: Thank you.   COHEN: With enough minds, all tomorrows are visible. That's the motto you'll find at Jamais Cascio's Web site. It's called OpenTheFuture.com. Cascio writes about the future of the Earth and about technology's role in it. He's also the author of the book called "Hacking the Earth." Jamais Cascio joins me now from a studio at Stanford University. Welcome to the program.  Mr. JAMAIS CASCIO (Author, "Hacking the Earth"): Thank you very much.  COHEN: You have said that the future we create is a future that we can be proud of. So, here's the big question. How do we do that?  Mr. CASCIO: The funny thing is, the answer is going to sound almost prosaic and that is, we need to try. We have such a perception that the future h

Question: 'Don Verdean' Takes Shaky Aim At The Dark Side Of Faith

In the last few years, the so-called "faith-based" film industry has expanded by Miracle-Gro leaps and bounds. Smash hits like God's Not Dead and War Room found their audiences by not only explicitly referencing the Almighty, but also casting Him to intervene in the lives of ordinary Americans, whether by inspiring a true-believer student to win a debate against his atheist professor or casting Satan out of an abusive marriage. If you took one of those movies, flipped it over, doused it with skepticism and looked at it in the mirror, you'd wind up with Don Verdean, the story of a crooked archaeologist who fakes the discoveries of holy artifacts in order to bring people closer to God (but also for profit, too, if he's being honest). The film isn't quite funny enough as an Indiana Jones parody, but it works better as a light, sporadically clever send-up of Biblical literalism and elements of American megachurch culture. And coming from Napoleon Dynamite creators Jared and Jerusha Hess (Mormons who reside in Utah, where the film is set), it has a quirky outsider perspective that keeps it from feeling like a cynical Hollywood hornet's-nest poking. As played with gnarly facial hair and a look of constant panic by Sam Rockwell, Don Verdean is a charming bottom-feeder. He drives his RV between churches hawking books that recount dubiously successful archaeological digs (an opening VHS promotional video is worthy of Tim & Eric), and sales are so bad he sleeps in the RV, too. But a gift from God arrives in the form of an Evangelical pastor (Danny McBride, in full meathead-drawl) who hires Don to bring him Biblical items from Israel to display in his church. Such a collection, he believes, will demonstrate that everything in the Good Book is true, thereby pulling his wavering flock back into the faith. "A holy land, right here in the good ol' U.S. of A," enthuses the pastor's lascivious wife (Leslie Bibb), who will later belt a passionate song about submitting to her husband. So Don starts hauling in big findings, one after the other, like he's fishing for candy in the kids' treasure chest at Trader Joe's. First his sleazy Israeli associate Boaz (Jemaine Clement, here sporting a thick accent and frozen countenance) hauls in a pillar of salt he believes to be Lot's wife—never mind the ... anatomical inconsistencies. Then, along with his lovestruck assistant (Amy Ryan), Don journeys to the Holy Land himself to unearth Goliath's skull: a task that involves some light grave robbery and a Google search for "Israelis with gigantism." A little bit of phony science-language goes a long way in this church, it seems, and soon it's time to help a devout Chinese billionaire uncover "the Holy Grail of Biblical artifacts: the Holy Grail." It's surprisingly biting, dark territory for the writer-director pair who brought the world "Vote for Pedro" and the brightly clad luchadores of Nacho Libre—although the movie's deadpan style and faux-amateurish rough edges are perfectly in line with the Hess filmography. Also like their past films, the humor is very hit-and-miss, both because it's wielding a rather blunt satirical weapon and because the sheer number of people Don fools becomes hard to swallow. But when Don Verdean's barbs land, they work, whether McBride is launching into a Voltron-inspired theory about dinosaur fossils or Will Forte, as a reformed-Satanist-turned-rival-preacher, is condemning the evils of breakfast cereal. There are times when the film feels mean-spirited, something that's hard to avoid when your comedic target is religion. As though to counteract the idea that these believers are all either snake-oil peddlers or dangerously gullible, the Hesses assert that Don himself isn't a bad guy so much as a desperate one. The true villain turns out to be Boaz, who in the latter half comes close to being a crooked Jewish stereotype — though he's surrounded by much more overt Evangelical stereotypes. But distancing your protagonist from his actions is a disingenuous move when you began with him exploiting, for personal gain, both religion and public misconceptions of his trade. If you're going to go after something as hot-button as faith, at least have the courage of your convictions.

And be sure to listen to the Culturetopia podcast, in which Johnston and Smooth discuss Eminem further. Eminem's 2009 album, Relapse, was a major commercial success, but the album drew a lot of criticism for living up to its title in all the wrong ways. After a five-year hiatus, Detroit's tormented rap genius returned to everything many critics were hoping he'd outgrown: the same stale lyrical themes, uninspired production, and a grating faux-European accent that stifled his usually flawless delivery. Now, Eminem is preparing a follow-up album titled Recovery, and its first single, "Not Afraid," suggests he's taken that tough love to heart and is determined to make amends. Previously, Eminem has used the same jokey, poppy formula on each album's debut single, but "Not Afraid" breaks that mold, eschewing catty pop-culture references for sincere introspection. Over a solemn keyboard riff, he speaks of wanting to be a better father to his daughter and ponders his recent struggles with drug addiction. He even directly addresses the response to his last album, admitting, "Let's be honest / That last Relapse CD was 'ehh' / Perhaps I ran those accents into the ground." Listeners need not worry that Slim Shady has lost his bite, as he still peppers each verse with a dash of potty-mouth humor. But as the chorus of "Not Afraid" invites listeners to "walk this road together / through the storm," Marshall Mathers sounds less enthused by youthful rebellion, and more focused on redemption. Listen to yesterday's Song of the Day, and subscribe to the Song of the Day newsletter.  RENEE MONTAGNE, Host:  Eminem has a new, chart-stopping single, called "Not Afraid." And it's not about getting back at his ex-wife or making fun of other celebrities. (SOUNDBITE OF RECORD SCRATCHING) (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "NOT AFRAID") EMINEM: (Singing) I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. To take a stand, to take a stand. Yeah. It's been a ride. MONTAGNE: Eminem's latest is an inspirational, feel-good anthem. So is hip hop officially losing its edge? Here's our Pop Off team - music commentators Maura Johnston and Jay Smooth. MAURA JOHNSTON: So have you heard the new Eminem single, Jay? JAY SMOOTH: Yes. I am feeling inspired and pumped up. I am not afraid. JOHNSTON: What are you not afraid of? SMOOTH: I'm not sure what I'm not afraid of, but I'm ready to take his hand and go through the storm. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "NOT AFRAID") EMINEM: (Singing) Now some of you might still be in that place. If you're trying to get out, just follow me. I'll get you there. SMOOTH: That seems like the trend nowadays - hip hop moving towards inspirational anthems instead of misanthropic, rebellious anthems - moving away from making a rap version of "Scarface," and making a rap version of "Remember the Titans" - or something like that. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "NOT AFRAID") EMINEM: (Singing) I'm going to be what I set out to be, without a doubt undoubtedly. And all those who look down on me, I'm tearing down your balcony. JOHNSTON: You can definitely hear this song being played during "Baseball Tonight's" wrap-up of the greatest catches or something, you know. Those guys aren't afraid to slam their face into the wall to catch the ball, hey! (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "NOT AFRAID") EMINEM: (Singing) I'm standing up, I'm going to face my demons. I'm manning up, I'm going to hold my ground. I've had enough, now I'm so fed up. Time to put my life back together right now. It was my decision to get clean. I did it for me. Admittedly, I probably did for subliminally for you. SMOOTH: The verses of this Eminem song, he gets personal sometimes, talking about overcoming his addiction and wanting to be a better father for his daughter. But in the chorus, it's basically the most generic inspirational slogans that could be applied to anything in life and will be well-suited to being played at anthems, much like "Empire State of Mind" was for Jay-Z. (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "EMPIRE STATE OF MIND") SMOOTH: (Singing) Yeah, yeah. I'm at Brooklyn. JOHNSTON: Every time he mentions "Empire State of Mind," I think of the "Sex in the City 2" trailer. It apparently also opens the movie - with like, big, aerial shots of the Chrysler Building. SMOOTH: We've gone from the voice of the scary counter-culture to product placement and "Sex and the City 2," and sounding like Oprah. (SOUNDBITE OF LAUGHTER) (SOUNDBITE OF SONG, "EMPIRE STATE OF MIND") SMOOTH: I think it makes sense as far as where the market is at right now, since not only hip-hop but pop music in general, it's so often been sold to young people as a way to market r

Question: Slavery's Bitter Legacy in W. Africa

The Portuguese began trading African slaves in Europe in the 1440s, and by the early 1500s ships filled with slaves captured in Africa began sailing across the Atlantic to the New World. During the four centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, an estimated 12 million Africans were taken from their continent and brought to the New World and Europe. Americans are still struggling to come to terms with this nation's history of slavery. And in West Africa, some are also trying to reconcile the complicity of African rulers and slave merchants in the slave trade. For the latest journey of the National Geographic Radio Expedition project, NPR's John Burnett traveled to Benin where he met a woman who's trying to tell the complete story of the slave trade -- and her own family's role in it. Martine de Souza, a museum guide in Ouidah, Benin, has made it her cause to educate visitors -- both African and foreign -- about Africa's domestic slave trade. She has quite a perspective on the issue: Her great grandmother was a slave, and her great, great, great-grandfather was the infamous Francisco "Cha Cha" de Souza, a Portuguese slave trader. De Souza led Burnett down the old slave route to the spot on the beach where it is believed the terrified captives boarded ships for the "Middle Passage" -- the route across the ocean to the New World. Many would not survive the trip, cut down by disease, malnutrition, abuse or neglect. A vigorous debate continues over whether the descendants of those now alive in the United States and European nations should pay reparations for their ancestor's involvement in the African slave trade. And Africans are having their own dialogue over this dark chapter of their history. "Today, 150 years after the end of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, there is still bad blood between descendants of raided villages and descendants of the Kingdom of Dahomey," Burnett says. "The kings of Dahomey -- located in Abomey, in present-day Benin -- aggressively captured and sold neighboring tribespeople to the slavers. The practice was quite developed, and went on for some three centuries." The story of the slave trade is kept alive in the songs of village griots, or tribal storytellers, who sing the history of the slave-conquering kings of Dahomey. "The slave trade could not have endured for four centuries and carried nearly 12 million people out of Africa without the cooperation of a huge network of African rulers and merchants," says Dr. Robert Harms, a professor of African History at Yale University who has extensively researched the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Harms is the author of The Diligent: A Voyage Through the Worlds of the Slave Trade, an award-wining book detailing the day-to-day routine on a French slave vessel in the 1700s. "Most Americans think that ships would come from the United States or from Europe to Africa and the sailors would just get off and run out and grab a shipload of people and stuff them in the ship and bring them back. And I think that is a very condescending view of Africans. "That view suggests that Africans were so disorganized that they could let that happen year after year after year after year," Harms says. "I think we need to see African societies as well-organized societies that participated in the slave trade, because the ruling classes often thought they had something to gain from it."

Question: James Murdoch: What Did He Know And When Did He Know It?

Represent the subtitle to find a news title on NPR with less details!

The latest key development in the U.K.'s "hacking scandal" centers on News Corp. executive James Murdoch (son of Rupert) and "claims he misled lawmakers" earlier this week, The Associated Press writes. The wire service adds that "a [British] lawmaker  called for a police investigation and Prime Minister David Cameron insisted the  media scion had 'questions to answer' about what he knew and when he knew it." One of News Corp.'s U.S. outlets, The Wall Street Journal, begins its story on the news with this:  "Two former executives broke ranks with News Corp. for the  first time on Thursday over whether James Murdoch knew  in 2008 that the phone-hacking scandal at the company's now-defunct U.K. tabloid  likely involved more than just one rogue reporter, as the company had long  maintained. ... "Colin Myler, former editor of the News of the World tabloid, and Tom Crone, a  former lawyer for the paper, said in a joint statement that in 2008 they  informed Mr. Murdoch, now News Corp.'s deputy chief operating officer, about a  crucial e-mail suggesting that phone hacking went beyond one reporter. ... "Mr. Murdoch on Tuesday said before a parliamentary committee in the U.K. that he  had never been made aware of the e-mail — even though he had approved a roughly  £700,000 settlement ($1.1 million) in the matter."  According to the AP, "News International, News Corp.'s British newspaper arm, said James Murdoch stood  by his statement Tuesday to the parliamentary committee investigating the  phone-hacking scandal." Also today, the Journal reports that the "U.S. Justice Department is preparing subpoenas as part of preliminary investigations  into News Corp. relating to alleged foreign bribery and alleged hacking of  voicemail of Sept. 11 victims, according to a government official." Meanwhile, the Labor Party member of Parliament who has been most vocal in raising questions about the actions of News Corp.'s U.K. newspapers, tells Britain's The Telegraph (not a News Corp. property) that he believes the scandal will expand to cover evidence that e-mails, as well as cell phones, were hacked.

E.g.
['represent this short title to find a subtitle that might be right below it on npr', "Charlie Sheen's Media Tour Continues, But His Publicist Isn't On Board"] == ['represent the subtitle to find a news title on npr with less details', 'We\'ve talked before about Charlie Sheen here at Monkey See, and we don\'t have much more to add. But today on All Things Considered, Neda Ulaby recaps the story thus far — as today, Sheen made his first couple of big TV appearances since Two And A Half Men was shut down for the season, and perhaps for good. So if you\'re curious, the updates are basically these: Interviews with Sheen appeared on both Today and Good Morning America this morning, and then he sat around in his yard and talked to a TMZ guy for 45 minutes about how awesome his life is while the whole thing was broadcast live online. Then his publicist quit. (Least surprising development of the day, hands down.) Over the course of the day, Sheen threatened to sue various entities over the suspension of his show, demanded a raise, continued to rail against the idea that his life is anything less than spectacular and going great, further explained his impatience with people who aren\'t winners like him, and referred to himself as "a warlock." In the piece, Neda talks to Time\'s (very good) TV writer, James Poniewozik, about what on earth is going on and how odd it is to see Sheen interviewed as if, as Poniewozik says, "his notions of curing addiction with his mind and being a warlock with Adonis DNA and tiger blood is a serious way of looking at the world." So if you\'ve missed the story thus far and you\'re not afraid of hearing Charlie Sheen declare that he\'s "on a drug — it\'s called Charlie Sheen," give it a listen. In some ways, it\'s only when you hear him talk that you get an idea of what we\'re dealing with. MELISSA BLOCK, host:  This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I\'m Melissa Block.  MICHELE NORRIS, host:  And I\'m Michele Norris.  Charlie Sheen is demanding a raise. Really? This despite the fact that he\'s already the highest-paid actor on television, and he\'s melted down multiple times in the last several weeks: on the way to rehab, on the Internet, and in rants on the radio. He\'s been so erratic that CBS stopped production on the show "Two and a Half Men," the most popular sitcom on television.  NPR\'s Neda Ulaby reports.  NEDA ULABY: Today, on ABC\'s "Good Morning America," Charlie Sheen looked a little twitchy and overly intense as he said...  (Soundbite of TV program, "Good Morning America")  Mr. CHARLIE SHEEN (Actor): I am on a drug. It\'s called Charlie Sheen.  ULABY: The actor also graced NBC\'s "Today" show with anecdotes of how badly CBS underappreciated him.  (Soundbite of TV program, "Today")  Mr. SHEEN: I\'m tired of pretending like I\'m not special. I\'m tired of pretending like I\'m not bitching a total freaking rock star from Mars. And people can\'t figure me out. They can\'t process me. I don\'t expect them to. You can\'t process me with a normal brain.  ULABY: On "Two and a Half Men," Sheen\'s character mirrors his actual public persona, a debauched playboy named Charlie with a taste for booze and sex workers.  (Soundbite of TV program, "Two and a Half Men")  Unidentified Woman (Actress): (as Character) How about you, Charlie? Is there anyone special in your life?  Mr. SHEEN: (as Charlie Harper) No, not really. I mean, there\'s gals with special skills, but I got to pay extra.  ULABY: Sheen\'s feud with CBS is personal. And it\'s worth noting his appearances today were on ABC and NBC, says Time magazine television writer James Poniewozik.  Mr. JAMES PONIEWOZIK (Writer, Time): One would imagine there was a certain satisfaction in going to, not just one but both of CBS\' major network competitors. You may not have noticed, but Charlie Sheen is a person who is occasionally motivated by vengeance.  ULABY: Some people estimate "Two and a Half Men" to be worth as much as a quarter-billion dollars. Stopping production last week was a decision that cost tens of millions.  Mr. SHEEN: I\'m not hiding from anybody. I\'m not hiding from anybody.  ULABY: Earlier today, Sheen was on TMZ, along with both of his girlfriends he calls his goddesses. Last week, his unhinged radio interviews included one with a description of his boss, Chuck Lorre, that reeked of anti-Semitism.  Mr. SHEEN: A certain Chaim Levine - yeah, that\'s Chuck\'s real name -mistook this rock star for his own selfish exit strategy, bro.  ULABY: Lorre\'s first name is actually Charles. Sheen\'s also taken to ranting about AA. On the "Today" show this morning, he described his technique for beating addiction without it.  (Soundbite of TV program, "Today")  Mr. JEFF ROSSEN (Host, "Today"): You don\'t need Alcoholics Anonymous. How have you done that?  Mr. SHEEN: I closed my eyes and made it so, with the power of my mind.  ULABY: It\'s hardly unheard of, says Time magazine\'s James Poniewozik, for networks such as ABC or NBC to put train wrecks like Sheen on news shows for ratings. But he says it feels unseemly to see him being given a platform.

Question: Now Is A Good Time To Talk To Kids About Civics

If you've been riding an emotional, politics-fueled rollercoaster in 2021 (not to mention 2020), believe us: Your kids have noticed. Here's a quick primer from Life Kit on how to talk with your kids about politics  —  and, even get them thinking about civics.  Process your own emotions and make home a safe space. Kids can see that we're on edge. They are naturally self-centered, and they'll assume your stress is about them. Be honest and tell them, "Dad/Mom is a little nervous about what's happening in the country." It's helpful for kids' social and emotional development to hear you naming your emotions. At the same time, it's not great for you or them to be mainlining the news 24/7, so try your hardest to turn off the TV or the radio, put away your phone and connect — especially over meals and other key moments during the day. "We can control the amount of information. We can control the amount of exposure," Rosemarie Truglio, senior vice president of curriculum and content at Sesame Workshop, told us when we talked to her about parenting during intense news events.  Ask: "What have you heard and how are you feeling?" Parents and caregivers, this question is a golden line to have in your back pocket at all times — even when there is no election, no riots, no pandemic casting a long shadow over our lives. Tara Conley, a media researcher at Montclair State University, says adults should choose a quiet moment to check in with their kids, maybe at the dinner table or at bedtime. The idea, she says, is to allow kids to "ask questions about what they're seeing, how they're feeling and what do they think." In other words: Give kids a safe space to reflect and share. And give yourself a chance to dispel any scary rumors or misinformation they may have come across. And this is key: Your job, first and foremost, is to listen. Use this as a learning opportunity Looking for a silver lining to all the recent upheaval? Well, the Annenberg Public Policy Center's annual Constitution Day survey found a marked increase last year in the awareness among average Americans about their rights, like free speech and the structures of government. And, just over half can name the executive, legislative and judicial branches, an all-time high on this survey. Obviously, though, that good news comes as our kids (and the rest of us) are being buffeted by hurricane-force winds of misinformation and conspiracy theory. According to a new NPR/NewsHour/Marist Poll conducted earlier this week, 38% of Americans polled said they still do not trust the results of the 2020 election — even though there has been no credible evidence of widespread voter fraud.       To be active, empowered citizens, kids need to be able to sort fact from fiction, especially when that fiction is coming from our own elected leaders. And that requires they build a strong foundation of basic knowledge — about history, geography and our political system.  "The more you know, the more you can know," says Ashley Berner, a professor at Johns Hopkins who studies how schools teach civics. In fact, she says, research shows students who have more time with social studies actually do better in other subjects, too. The 2020 election, the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, and President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration present a perfect opportunity to help kids build this foundation of facts. With my (Anya's) older daughter, we looked at a map of the distribution of House seats between the two parties, and talked about why the Vice President is allowed to break a tie in the Senate. My younger one, who is four, wanted to see Washington, D.C. on a map, and to know that it was pretty far away.  Ashley Berner also suggests a simple, civically-minded walk outside. "Talk about what institutions are public and what are private. So which things have we decided as a community that we're going to support, like road-building, or parks or libraries?" Put this moment in the context of history — including our "hard history" Many of the rioters who invaded the U.S. Capitol were known white nationalists. Some carried Confederate flags. Black Capitol Police have described the racist taunts of their attackers. And all of this follows a concerted effort by the President and many Republicans to disenfranchise voters — particularly Black Americans. In short: Our nation's painful history of racism is integral to an understanding of this moment.  The United States and its democracy are a work-in-progress, and in order for children to understand the role we all have to play in its improvement, they need to learn about its failures as well as its successes. "I think the highest form of patriotism is self-reflection and saying, 'Hey, this is what we've done wrong,'" says Hasan Kwame Jeffries, a history professor at Ohio State University. Presenting kids with a less-than-honest version of history, especially the nation's racial history, risks leaving them feeling confused, alienated, even betrayed when they're
