Much ink has spilled on the players and officials who make up Israel’s baseball team, which finished 1-3 at the World Baseball Classic in Miami. Israel competed often in front of crowds that were overwhelmingly rooting for—and drumming and trumpeting vuvuzelas on behalf of—Israel’s rivals. But those who made the trek to Florida to cheer Team Israel on are as die-hard fans as they come.
When Jewish baseball fans heard Team Israel would play in the World Baseball Classic, many rearranged their schedules to make the pilgrimage from Chicago, Toronto, Hartford, San Antonio and Atlanta. Some came from relatively “nearby” Jacksonville—five or six hours south down I-95 or I-75, depending on traffic.
Some brought their kids, others their parents. Some ditched their wives and kids to continue a 30-year tradition that predated their marriage. One clergy member bought tickets for any congregant willing to meet him in Miami and join him for dinner at Ben’s Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers.
Brian Yancelson, a recent college graduate, and his mother Melody came to Miami from San Antonio, Alamo City, to create different sorts of memories.
The baseball-obsessed pair—who have visited all 30 MLB stadiums and 29 minor league stadiums, and have been to a 2017 World Baseball Classic game in San Diego, Field of Dreams and the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown—is already planning a baseball trip to the Dominican Republic.
Originally from Mexico City, the Yancelson mother-and-son duo felt like it fit in with both the Jewish and Latino fans. Israel was in a pool with Venezuela (4-0), Dominican Republic (2-1), Puerto Rico (2-1) and Nicaragua (0-4).
“It is really cool for Israel and Jewish people to see you don’t have to be in a little lane; you do everything at the highest level and represent the Jewish people, even if you are not so religious,” Brian, a play-by-play broadcaster and reporter, told JNS. “Being Jewish can be a lot of things for a lot of people.”
Brother-and-sister Andrew and Jennifer Small hail from Connecticut. He now lives in Manchester and she in Hamden. They have both followed Team Israel from the start. Although both of their parents are Jewish, they joke about coming from a “mixed” marriage between a Yankees fan and a Mets fan.
Andrew, who proudly sported an orange shirt with “Tigers” written in Hebrew, allowed that it could be confused for the Detroit Tigers, though he intended it to boost 44-year-old Shlomo Lipetz, who pitched for the Netanya Tigers in the 2007 season.
“I’ve been rooting for Team Israel since the World Baseball Classic qualifiers in 2017 when they captured my imagination and interest,” he said.
He went to a pre-Olympics exhibition game in Hartford and recounted, “I can’t describe how emotional it is just hearing ‘Hatikvah’ every time.”
When Israel played in the Olympics in Tokyo in 2021, Andrew stayed up late every night to watch them. “Seeing them win the Nicaragua game on Sunday was amazing,” he said.
Jennifer is glad Israel automatically qualifies for the 2026 World Baseball Classic.
“It means so much as American Jews to see us on the international stage and to see legit Jews like [Jacob] Steinmetz,” Andrew said of the Orthodox pitcher.
‘We are all Zionists’
Jared Green and a half-dozen friends have a 30-year tradition of visiting ballparks that dates back to when they were fellow staffers at Camp Ramah in Canada.
The lead organizer is Mark “Liebs” Lieberman. “Please be advised that I will be out of the office participating in the 30th Annual Baseball Road Trip commencing on Friday, March 10, 2023, until Wednesday, March 15, 2023,” the Toronto law partner’s out-of-office message reads.
“Our trip is ultimately about friendships,” he told JNS. “For this year, our 30th annual baseball road, seeing Israel play made it extra-special.”
“While there wasn’t much to cheer about during the game itself, just being there together to witness Israel participating in the event itself was a great way to culminate our annual trip,” added Lieberman. “It will certainly be an experience we will all remember.”
Green, a Toronto native who lives with his family in Chicago, told JNS that the group goes to a different city each year. “We have been to every city with an MLB team,” he said. “We went to Oakland last year and went to Buffalo the COVID summer when the Blue Jays didn’t play in Toronto.”
Coming to Miami made sense since one member of the crew—hailing from Toronto, Hamilton (Canada), Chicago and Jacksonville—has a daughter who celebrated her bat mitzvah in Jacksonville. The group got to attend those festivities and catch Team Israel.
“We are all Zionists. We thought it would be fun to cheer on Team Israel,” said Green.
Not only did Jeff Goldstein of Toronto come to Miami with his wife and three sons (Michael, 11; Alex, 8; and Brayden, 4), he brought his parents as well.
A kidney specialist, Goldstein took a break from his medical practice, figuring that it would be an important part of his children’s education, even though they missed a few days of school.
“We love baseball, and we love Israel. What better way to spend time than cheering on Jewish sports,” he told JNS.
Draped in Israeli flags and singing ‘Hatikvah’
Jesse Holzer, a cantor in Jacksonville, recalls staying up late to check Team Israel’s scores when it competed in Asia. He was pretty sure he was the only person in the 29,000-seat stadium wearing a Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp kippah. That may sound like an unkosher oxymoron, but the Jumbo Shrimp are a Jacksonville Minor League team. (Team Israel catcher Ryan Lavarnway played for the Shrimp in 2022.)
Holzer also donned a blue-and-white Israel soccer jersey with “Hazzan” (“cantor”) emblazoned on the back. He had hoped to wear a Team Israel jersey, but it didn’t arrive on time for the World Baseball Classic, so he had to improvise. The team has become so popular that he can no longer find game-worn Team Israel jerseys on eBay, as he used to be able to.
“They are nowhere to be found,” he stated.
Watching batting practice before the March 13 game against Puerto Rico on the field, Holzer could hardly contain his excitement. “To be here, to experience the moment of Jews draped in Israeli flags and singing ‘Hatikvah’ in this country, post-COVID,” he said. “To be here to support Team Israel is bashert” (the Yiddish word for “soulmate”).
At the synagogue where Holzer works, they joke that the rabbi, a Yankees fan, stands on one side of the bimah while Holzer, a Red Sox fan, is on the other. He also brings sports, which he calls “my second love,” into his work. For example, if people ask him whether it is a day to receive tachanun—a sobering prayer that is skipped on certain festive days—Holzer answers that depends on whether the day’s sports news is good or bad.
Team Israel being in town—just a five- or six-hour drive from Jacksonville—brought out the cantor’s generosity. He bought 18 tickets (a lucky Jewish number and a chai in Hebrew, meaning “life”) and offered to subsidize any congregant willing to come to Miami.
“It is mostly retirees—people who love baseball and kosher food,” he said. Holzer enjoyed dining with fellow congregants at Ben’s Deli, and, in line with stadium policy, was able to bring one deli sandwich into the game.
A Jewish cardinal (fan)
Robyn Faintich of Atlanta is a lifelong fan of the St. Louis Cardinals. An education consultant, she uses baseball and Judaism in her work, and thinks that Jewish educators can find teaching fodder in Israel’s participation in the World Baseball Classic.
When Israel played Puerto Rico, she had a dilemma, as the latter’s manager is former Cardinals legend Yadier Molina. Her love of Israel prevailed, she told JNS.
Having watched two films about Team Israel’s World Baseball Classic and Olympics runs, Faintich was drawn to the way players were connecting for the first time with their Jewish identities.
“They guys had to trace their lineage, which they had never considered. They were discovering and figuring out their heritage and relationship to Israel—and all of a sudden were making aliyah,” she said.
“This part of the story is a major piece for kids without a major connection. They can see all of these players on MLB teams as a case in point,” she added.
When Kevin Youkilis, a Team Israel coach, took off his cap during the Israeli national anthem to reveal a Team Israel kippah, Faintich saw a teachable moment.
“It tells the story of taking Jewish heritage and turning it into an expression of Jewish identity,” she said. “These players are good role models for Jews who may be disconnected.”

Even the best of us have times when paying our bills gets tough: An unexpected car repair, an emergency furnace fix, or a medical bill we didn’t foresee can leave us scrambling. Unfortunately many of us live paycheck to paycheck, and a surprise expense can create a vicious cycle of “never quite catching up” and with that, harassing calls from creditors that can become an everyday occurrence.
Some companies offer debt consolidation and debt settlement as a way of regaining financial footing. But what is debt settlement and is it really a better alternative than bankruptcy?
Debt Settlement 101
If you are stuck between paying a bill and paying the rent, you are in obvious need of financial relief. Debt settlement is a service whereby a company works with your creditors to negotiate a pay-off of your outstanding balances. The company then offers you a loan to cover those settlements, and the loan is paid back in one monthly payment. Generally, that loan is repaid over 12-24 months.
But debt settlement comes with a pretty steep price: The Internal Revenue Service requires that you pay tax on any amount of debt that is forgiven. So, for example, if $20,000 worth of debt is forgiven, you will be paying tax on that $20,000. Even if you are in the lowest tax bracket of 10%, your tax burden for the forgiven debt would be $2000. If you find yourself just a couple of tax brackets higher–28%–you would be responsible for $5600 in tax.
Is bankruptcy a better answer?
Those are pretty stiff penalties and if you are already in financial straits, having to pony up money for the IRS may be a lot more frightening that paying it to a creditor. After all, the IRS can seize your wages, your bank accounts and your property. Debt settlement, too, leaves you with a black mark from the creditors you settled with: The accounts are closed and reported to the credit bureaus. In general, you could see your credit score plummet by up to 100 points.
Bankruptcy, on the other hand, is handled on a flat fee. All debts are discharged and there is no need to pay the IRS taxes on the discharged amounts. While your credit will take a hit, most people find that within about three years they are able to apply for, and receive, credit.
If you are looking into debt settlement, why not also talk with an experienced bankruptcy attorney? A sound fiscal future depends on you exploring all options, and deciding which gives you the best outlook for financial health.

Making a Dress for a Jane Austen Ball.
An Exhibition in Cooperation with Lucia.
Being accomplished in sewing is most useful when you want to make a gown for a Regency ball. I score zero points in all kinds of needlework. My approach to making a ball gown is to assemble it from clothes I find in my cupboard (you can see an earlier example here).
The Starter Kit
My latest attempt to make a gown for a Jane Austen Ball also started with the idea to assemble rather than sewing it. This is what I found in my cupboard:
- A white cotton skirt
- A red t-shirt
- A white lace shirt
These things can be turned into a dress fit for a character from a Jane Austen novel, right?
Just create a high waist line with a ribbon, add braids or bows, and voilà: the modern clothes have become a demure morning dress or a gown for a genteel but chaste debutante. There won’t be much sewing involved, I hoped.
That was before I spotted the most ravishing dark-red lace on sale at an oriental drapery. Dazzled by a sudden vision of a glorious white and red Empire-style gown, I rushed into the shop and bought 3 meters of lace. Problem: This lace meant serious sewing.
Solution: Pick up the phone and dial the emergency number for sewing-dummies.
Lucia answered – my best friend and an enthusiastic needlewoman.
Read Lucia’s report here:
I was delighted when Anna gave me a ring. I love sewing, and I always enjoy working with Anna. Together, we wanted to make the best out of her shopping spree.
It looks quite convincing, don’t you think?
But I didn’t know yet how I would achieve it, since I didn’t have any
sewing pattern that would match our needs. I concluded that I had have to create it myself. That was going to be a first!
Getting to work
I started with creating an undergown for the Empire-style gown. Anna’s modern clothes came in handy. I discarded the white lace shirt, but the red t-shirt and the cotton skirt would do nicely:
Luckily, Anna had bought 3 meters of lace. That was enough to cover the white skirt with two layers. A small placket at the front of the skirt emphasizes the white undergown. I attached the pleated lace to the back of the dress at waist height and adorned the waist line with silver braids.
I sewed the braids to the pleated lace with transparent yarn as upper thread and red yarn as under thread. Tricky: I had better not make a mistake, as the yarn was “invisible” on the braids and the lace.
How to do the Shoe
While Lucia designed sewing patterns, tamed the lace and performed other magic, I did my best to make the dancing slippers. It did involve needle work. But I managed. Here is a photo:
Acting on my maxim to make everything from 21st century clothes, I bought black cotton shoes and tights (very high denier) in dark red at a supermarket. I cut the tights in pieces long enough to cover each shoe completely, put the shoe into it, cut out the middle part and stitched the red textile to the shoe. As the cotton shoes came with a little black ribbon, I simply had to adorn it with fake silver gems from a crafts store.
Let’s check if we have a ball gown for a Jane Austen Ball, complete with shoes, fan, gloves and reticule. Have a look at the photos below (click on them to enlarge them).
Lucia made the cute reticule from the remaining lace, silver braids and a discarded business shirt. The reticule allows me to carry a fan, gloves, a handkerchief and even a small camera with me.
Aside from the shoes, I was in charge of the fan. This is a cheap fan made of plastic and lace. To make it look more precious I covered the sticks with 3 layers of acrylic paint coloured “mother of pearl”. I also added some fake silver gems.
And here, dear reader, is the Empire-style ball gown:
It looks rather grand, more Caroline Bingley or Miss Grey than Lizzy Bennet. So I’d better come up with an appropriate role to match it.
You can read here about methods to create a character for a ball (or a novel).
Lessons learned: You can make a ball gown based on 21st century clothes. But for the wow-effect you should add something historical-looking, such as lace. This means you need considerable sewing skills – or a really good friend to help you.

If you've ever wondered what a horror movie written by a Woody Allen wannabe would come out like, then check this one out. It's imaginatively directed, has a typical but enjoyable "haunted place" premise, solid makeup effects....it's an all-around nice job, but with one major flaw: the dialogue is overloaded with cheeky wisecracks and witticisms (sample: "You wish scary? Go shopping with my ex-wife") that sometimes hit the mark, but are too often delivered at the most inappropriate moments (even while the character is battling an evil ghost!). (**)
A fresh tenant Jason moves into the apartment-a railroad vehicle converted into a house-he finds the zone possessed by the ghost of the Mister,a conductor who blamed himself for a horrible train ruin in the past.As the Mister comes back for revenge and begins killing the car's visitors and neighbors,Jason and his roommate test to exorcise the demons for good."The Sleeping Car" by Douglas Curtis is a mildly enjoyable horror comedy that has its share of gruesome moments.The makeup results are cute nice and the death scenes are suitably gory.Unfortunately the movie relies too much on juvenile humour.There is also a great amount of nudity provided by Judie Aronson and Sandra Margot.So if you are into 80's horror give this one a chance.7 out of 10.
This one would be just an average horror B-movie, reasonably well done from what I should judge from a pan&scanned video, but the characters makes up for the ludicrous premise : they are lively and fun. There are illogisms, as usual, but the overall fun atmosphere makes it worth viewing for category fans. And there is a first : death by couch springs !

Pursuing a STEM degree, especially engineering, is grimly portrayed in STEM culture as surviving through shared suffering and hardships (Godfrey & Parker, 2010; Wolffram et al., 2009) or as “chilly” (Morris & Daniel, 2008), especially for underrepresented students. If the purpose of education is to prepare students to be successful in school and beyond, then we must understand how students are successful. An alternative to negatively positioning students – what students are missing or need to survive – is to positively position students by studying how to support student success. Rather than identifying barriers to success, we can study the positive factors for student success. Therefore, this study reports how students experienced success and the factors they attributed to success.
Broadly, this study sought to understand what constituted success, the factors students attributed to success, and how students from different groups experienced success. One overarching goal of this study was to describe student success as defined by engineering students. This study aimed to better understand how engineering students experience and view success both in the classroom and beyond. More precisely, this work investigated what students identified as successful, how the meaning of success changed over time, and the factors and characteristics students attributed to success and being successful. This work emphasized qualitative methods to richly capture the essence of success by understanding student experiences in depth. Thereby, this work mapped the multiple paths to student success by describing how chemical engineering student experiences of success varied across GPA, gender, and race. The research questions that guided the investigation of student success and how they experienced success differently were:
1. What are chemical engineering students’ experiences of success and being an engineer?
a. How do chemical engineering students’ experiences differ by race and gender?
2. How do chemical engineering students position themselves as successful engineers?
This work followed a phenomenographic approach that implemented a qualitative research design and multiple methods to answer the research questions. Participants were recruited from upper-level (3xxx- & 4xxx) chemical engineering courses level and given an incentive ($10 Amazon gift card) for participating in the survey and interview.
The multiple methods used in this study were: an online survey (Qualtrics), and semi-structured interviews following an interview protocol. The Qualtrics survey collected the students’ consent, demographic information (race, gender, GPA, rank), and scores from two validated instruments: grit and engineering identity. Semi-structured interviews conducted over 1-3 hours captured the students’ experiences of success following a tailored interview protocol. Each student was virtually interviewed and recorded using Zoom. The recorded interview was transcribed and shared with the participant for member checking. The constant comparative method (CCM) was utilized to enrich the quality of data measurement and analysis; data collection and analysis occurred simultaneously.
The member-checked transcript was analyzed in multiple ways following a phenomenographic approach. First the transcript was thematically analyzed and iteratively coded (pre-coded and indexed). After comparing the differences in student experiences by gender and race, the positioning diamond was applied.
Students portrayed success as multi-faceted with a range of meanings. Collectively, the students’ understanding of success changed at least once during their collegiate studies. While initially positioning success as equating to getting good grades, students later identified other factors to success and (re)positioned success as obtaining their degree or being employed as an “engineer.” Additionally, students positioned success as accomplishing goals, feeling gratified, or fostering the success for others. Success was experienced and expressed in different ways across gender and race. The summation of actions that students attributed to success demonstrate how they self-identify and are recognized by members of the community as successful.
For the field of engineering education to become more inclusive beyond the majority white male student, the experiences of underrepresented groups must be better understood. Hearing the stories of these students can inform policies and educators to better understand how students conceptualize success in academic settings.

I have a myriad of interests but my main focus is on the intersection between GIS, archaeology, and digital communication. The questions I ask myself are as follows: How can GIS be used to convey information in an attainable, sustainable, and accessible way? How can we tell stories of the past through spatial analysis with relevance to a continuously changing world? How can we take data and make it accessible, be it archaeology or intelligence work?
I have a passion for connecting to each individual I work with and am a strong believer in a positive and supportive work environment. My recent GIS work related to my former position at GW, highlights the intersecting aspects of anthropology, visual art, data collection, and data visualization with an ArcGIS Experience page combining maps, surveys, and national mourning. You can visit www.inamericaflags.org to see the webpage I created. This is a 3-week long physical and digital art installation on the National Mall, right next to the Washington Monument. The concept was created by artist Suzanne Brennan Firstenberg.
I enjoy a good Netflix binge, but when not on the couch, I am walking neighborhood dogs and finding food gems in any city I’m based.
“We combine visual art, data analysis, and human interaction into one space, which enables people to comprehend the massive impact this virus has on a fathomable scale, while also highlighting every individual’s story.”Maggie Peterson, GW Press Release

October 22, 1968 in Virginia
Quantico, Virginia, United States
Shelby Lynne (born Shelby Lynn Moorer, October 22, 1968, Quantico, Virginia) is an American singer and songwriter. The success of her pop rock album I Am Shelby Lynne (1999) led to her winning the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, even though it was her sixth studio album and she had, by that time, been active in the music industry for over a decade. She released a Dusty Springfield tribute album called Just a Little Lovin' in 2008. Since then she has started her own independent record label, called Everso Records, and released three albums: Tears, Lies and Alibis, Merry Christmas, and Revelation Road.

Lesson 69: why people don't believe in jesus (john 12 the jews did not believe but why would people reject jesus as the light that god gave them, especially who has believed our report and to whom has the arm of the lord been revealed' for this reason they could not believe. Chapter seven - deliverance the atoning death of jesus has secured the eternal life of the universally innumerable multitude these people are saved by the life of jesus christ for this reason = explains why the universally innumerable multitude is before the throne of god. Oh, but we do have an anger problem these days people are not angry because they carefully examined their situation and decided it's caused by deep wealth inequality. Typically hitler described jews as a disease why have particular ideas been selected out (from among the multitude of ideas that people have put forth) society's ideologies reflect our struggles to come to terms with fundamental psychological issues and existential dilemmas. Why do jews get all the attention for the holocaust hitler killed a lot of other people i think there are two reasons why the holocaust is mainly associated with jewish people we are all aware that the nazi's targeted a multitude of groups however.

They consider how laws influenced people living in germany and how they ultimately laid the groundwork for the holocaust the nazis in power: discrimination, obedience, and opportunism to understand the reasons why germans obeyed hitler's laws. But he loves and has a plan for all people, so why did god choose israel the bible has a lot about the people of israel being god's chosen people these jews who were the earliest christians did not fully understand that god was also going to bring gentiles into the church. Jewish history in the united states the directors gave as one of the reasons for the jews being received , cruel people why because the jewish money power is centered here and is making money out of both our immunity and europe's distress.

Back for its fourth year, this Palooza was a little bit different.
With the launch of ITVX and an increase in programming investment, this year's Palooza went big on content.
Hosted by Laura Whitmore and Iain Stirling, a packed Royal Festival Hall got a sneak peak of the bumper line-up, with cameos from Anna Maxwell Martin, Dermot O'Leary, Jonathan Ross and Maya Jama, and heard how brands could get involved.
If you weren't able to join us, or need a refresher, here are the highlights.

With the upcoming launch of ITVX, we were able to unveil all the exciting details for the brand new streaming home for ITV.
The launch of ITVX is powered by significant content investment and we’ve been using this to commission brand new shows that are a little different from what you’d expect from ITV.
We’ll have weekly exclusives with A-list talent dropping months before being aired on ITV’s linear channels.
Blockbuster films with 250 at launch and 1000 in the first year.
A deep archive of boxsets, with more than 350 at launch and another 150 added during the first year.
An expert editorial team curating topical content to bring it to audiences in new and interesting ways.
Themed ‘FAST’ channels with 20 at launch.
Content partnership deals, with the largest independent anime licensor in the UK, and one with CBS Reality for true crime titles.
Plus all of ITV’s channels will be available live through ITVX - so all the biggest broadcast moments will be front and centre too, available to stream.

From Catholic World Report comes a long article about the Catholic composer of sacred music James MacMillan:
James MacMillan and his sacred music for our time
In September 2010, when Pope Benedict made his historic and transformative visit to the United Kingdom, his first stop was Glasgow, Scotland. There, as he inaugurated the first-ever official state visit [And important distinction… it was a state visit.] by the pope to the UK, he celebrated the opening Mass to the sounds of newly commissioned liturgical music. The music was thoughtful, joyful, singable, yet richly musical. It was the premiere of a work by a man well known in the contemporary classical music community but less known to those outside it: Scottish composer James MacMillan.
James MacMillan has accomplished the seemingly impossible for a contemporary artist of any medium. The Scottish composer and conductor has created a deep repertoire of compositions spanning from small chamber pieces to orchestral works and full-blown operas. His music successfully blends modern compositional expressions with a traditional musical understanding. His work is respected by the avant-garde and well-received by the customary classical concertgoer. His compositional style is praised by performers, conductors, and other composers. He maintains an active and internationally renowned musical life as a highly commissioned composer and heavily-booked guest conductor. And somehow he is able to reserve time to work regularly with his own parish choir in Glasgow.
All of this at the relatively young (for a composer) age of 52. The son of a welder and teacher, MacMillan’s childhood included study of piano and trumpet. He began composing at an early age, and by secondary school already had a penchant for the sounds of Renaissance church music. Eventually making his way to undergraduate work at Edinburgh University, he passed on the opportunity of the more focused conservatory life for the broader experience offered in the university setting.
This early choice is indicative of MacMillan’s interest in a wider appreciation of the language of music, a trait which informs much of his writing. Like his British predecessor Benjamin Britten, he composes compelling vocal melodies with rich choral arrangements with ease. And like Debussy, he possesses an evocative musical vocabulary which allows him great latitude in his compositional structures. Perhaps not coincidentally he shares with both of those composers an enthusiasm for the sounds of the East Asian hammered-bell instrument called the gamelan, which sometimes overtly, other times more subtly, finds its way into his music. That is not to say that his music shares the trance-like meditative quality of much of the music of East. He infuses an intensity into his scores, one which reflects the fundamental struggle between good and evil inherent in the human drama.
Against the fad, with the grain
Though his early writings include Marxist leanings from liberation theology, MacMillan admits in his more recent interviews that he is a “lapsed lefty.” MacMillan has been courageous in confronting the “liberal assumption” that is often militantly and sneeringly guarded by captains of the “Arts élite.” Growing up in a community that he regarded as often hostile to his Catholic religion and its community, MacMillan knows the struggle of living in contradiction to the majority around him.
Not surprisingly this theological approach informs much of his vocal writing as well. His earliest musical memories are of the ritual of the Mass and the balance of his considerable list of works leans heavily toward sacred choral, and often specifically liturgical, music. He has composed prayers and cantatas, motets and Masses with a brilliant use of harmonic tension and resolution. Much of this vocal music exudes a haunting quality found in the work of other contemporary sacred composers, like the well-known work of Arvo Pärt and John Tavener.
A “Newman” Mass
But with Pope Benedict’s visit to the United Kingdom James MacMillan rose to a broader prominence, reaching a new audience. His “Mass of Blessed John Henry Newman” was commissioned to be used twice during the weekend, once in Scotland and a second time for the beatification in England. Additionally his “Tu es Petrus” was the played for the Pontiff’s processional during the Mass at Westminster Abbey and his “Gospel Fanfare” was played as well.
A relatively last-minute commission, the Newman Mass nearly didn’t happen. […]

As we near the end of August and Books & Cupcakes Book Photo Challenge, the theme is “Longest Book”. For this, I chose a classic, Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. Not the Broadway musical, the book. This is a long one. My sister read it over her kindle to watch the percentage complete slowly rise and to avoid carrying around a veritable brick. It’s definitely worth the read and goes in depth with all the characters we know from the show. How long is it? about 1,500 pages in English, 1,900 in French. There’s five volumes included in that 1,500 pages, but it’s a solid read as long as you have the time!

Neurosurgery treatment in Austria

Neurosurgery is a huge range of all kinds of surgical interventions produced in the treatment of diseases associated with the nervous system of man. Nearly 35% of all existing (known) diseases are somehow connected with neurosurgery is beyond question.
Interestingly, in the ancient tombs, archaeologists found human remains with traces of neurosurgical operations. Burr holes were covered with plates of silver or gold. Ancient surgeons somehow mysteriously mastered the technique of brain surgery!
Neurosurgery is the branch of medicine and at the same time applied science. It appeared as a separate industry in the last century, when scientific discoveries and medical technologies has reached such heights that became possible operations on tiny nerves. Deals with patients with pathology of the nervous system - both Central and peripheral.

Good evening, my name is Kayrat, i'm from Kyrgyzstan(Central Asia ), and i have charcot marie tooth disease. I wonder to know, if there is any treatment or any chance to win this disease? Is it possible?
Too much bureaucracy - less care for patients.This is review is specifically addressed to international services and not doctors at Heidelberg.A friend of mine recommended to consult with Heidelberg Hospital about surgery and possible treatment. I inquired their international services more than two weeks ago and instead of referring my request to the appropriate doctor for the consultation they drowned my request in bureaucratic procedures asking for translations irrelevant documents.I was able to get second opinion for clinics in Israel and the US in less than two days and talked to doctors directly there. So if you are an international patient I don’t recommend consulting with Heidelberg - you would lose precious time and efforts.
A year ago I had an accident. The result has received a severe spinal injury. In the hospital said that it is necessary to put the pins, but I completely crumbled vertebra. We are talking about the fact that it is necessary to put a titanium implant, but since it's the spine, I was "advised" that if you want to go it is better to do it in foreign clinics. Clinic of Bonn - this is the option when the price of a treatment is fully justified. I'm still going through rehabilitation. But I understand that to apply to this clinic was the right decision.

Matt Thorson, creator of TowerFall, the competitive Ouya-exclusive 2D indie brawler, has announced that the title will be heading to the PC and is going to be a massive update for the game as a whole compared to the Ouya version. He said that the multiplayer port to PC would reportedly take around “a couple of months”, and will cost you about “$15 or $20 if the content justifies it,” so hopefully whatever eventually ends up in the game will be worth your money and not be something put in for the sake of ticking a few boxes.
Thorson told ShackNews a little more about what PC gamers can expect when the title arrives on their platform:
“I’m already testing a bunch of new content for the Versus mode. There’s two new towers, some new powerups, archers, and variants, and a bunch of balance changes.”
“I’m also planning a fully fleshed-out single player mode for players who don’t have friends to play versus mode with. It’s going to be a massive update.”
With the game appearing on PC, the question was raised as to whether the game would make its way onto Mac and Linux and Thorson said that it does “look possible” although he did not explicitly confirm either version as currently being in the works. We’ll let you know if any the game is going to appear on any other platform as soon as we get any information regarding the matter.

The link between the lack of mobility, or compromised mobility, and clinical depression has been investigated in a multitude of studies. One study noted by the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health used advanced technological equipment to identify symptoms of depression in older adults with limited mobility. The inability to carry out regular physical tasks has also been linked to obesity and weight gain which, in turn, can result in heart conditions, diabetes, and various other ailments.

- The ruling concerned the third version of President Trump's travel restriction, which was challenged on the grounds that it amounted to a "Muslim ban."
- In the 5-4 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court finds that Trump's travel restriction fell "squarely" within the president's authority.
- "The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices," Roberts says. "The text says nothing about religion."
In the 5-4 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court found that Trump's travel restriction fell "squarely" within the president's authority. The court rejected claims that the ban was motivated by religious hostility.
"The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices," Roberts wrote. "The text says nothing about religion."
The case, Trump v. Hawaii, has been central to the administration's travel policy, presenting a key test of the president's campaign promise to restrict immigration and secure America's borders.
Trump, who issued the ban in September, hailed the ruling in the case.
The travel restriction, the administration's third, affects people from Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. Chad was dropped from the list of affected countries in April.
Previous versions of the ban were revised after facing challenges in court.
"Though I am disappointed by the outcome, I am heartened that our system of government worked as the founders intended," Neal Katyal, attorney for the challengers, said in a statement. "Now that the Court has upheld it, it is up to Congress to do its job and reverse President Trump’s unilateral and unwise travel ban."
After his tweet, the president said in a statement that the ruling was a "profound vindication" after "months of hysterical commentary from the media and Democratic politicians who refuse to do what it takes to secure our border and our country."
"Our country will always be safe, secure, and protected on my watch," Trump said.
The ruling broke down largely on partisan lines. Roberts and the four justices concurring with him — Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch — were appointed by Republican presidents. The dissenting justices — Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg — were appointed by Democrats.
“The Supreme Court’s decision today was unsurprising," said Stephen Yale-Loehr, the co-author of a 21-volume book on U.S. immigration law. Yale-Loehr signed onto an amicus brief on behalf of Hawaii.
"Because immigration touches on national sovereignty and foreign relations, courts have generally deferred to the president on immigration issues,” he said.
Hawaii alleged that the restriction was motivated by religious discrimination, noting that a majority of the countries included in the ban have primarily Muslim populations. The case began in November, when Trump's solicitor general asked the Supreme Court to stay a ruling from a federal judge in Hawaii who blocked the ban. In response to the administration's move, Hawaii argued that the travel ban would cause families of Hawaiian residents to be separated, harm the University of Hawaii and do damage to "the public as a whole inflicted by a radical departure from the status quo that had existed for decades."
The court sided with the government, which argued in April that the restriction "would be the most ineffective Muslim ban that one could possibly imagine."
Roberts agreed with that argument. Though the ban applies to five countries with Muslim majority populations, "that fact alone does not support an inference of religious hostility," Roberts wrote, noting that those five countries amount to only 8 percent of the world's Muslim population.
During oral arguments in April, Katyal cited Trump's postelection tweets about the issue, and argued that the travel restriction amounted to a "Muslim ban."
The court addressed those statements, writing that "the issue before us is not whether to denounce the statements."
"It is instead the significance of those statements in reviewing a Presidential directive, neutral on its face, addressing a matter within the core of executive responsibility," Roberts wrote. "In doing so, we must consider not only the statements of a particular President, but also the authority of the Presidency itself."
While the court upheld Trump's travel restriction, Roberts noted that the ruling did not reflect the court's judgment on the "soundness" of the policy.
Among the tweets that were at issue in the case is one from September in which the president wrote that the "travel ban into the United States should be far larger, tougher and more specific-but stupidly, that would not be politically correct!"
Katyal also cited Trump's retweeting of what Katyal called "virulent anti-Muslim videos" in November. The videos, whose authenticity has been challenged, had titles such as "Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches!" and "Muslim Destroys a Statue of Virgin Mary!"
Roberts wrote that the president has "an extraordinary power to speak to his fellow citizens" and that presidents "have frequently used that power to espouse the principles of religious freedom and tolerance on which this Nation was founded."
The chief justice cited comments made by then-President George W. Bush at the Islamic Center of Washington shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Bush said at the time that the "face of terror is not the true faith of Islam," and said that the United States is "a great country because we share the same values of respect and dignity and human worth.”
American presidents have "performed unevenly in living up to those inspiring words," Roberts said.
Trump has said the ban is not about Islam.
"This is not about religion—this is about terror and keeping our country safe," he said in January 2017, after facing criticism over the first version of the order.
That initial order, signed a week after Trump's inauguration, led to days administrative chaos and protests at airports around the country. It banned entry of people from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days and indefinitely halted resettlement of refugees from Syria's civil war.

Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg has publicly said for the first time that he plans to sell the financial information business that bears his name.
According to a report by UK newspaper The Telegraph, Bloomberg revealed his plans to sell the business - which has made him one of the richest men in the world - at a panel discussion in New York.
Bloomberg says he intends do another four year stint as mayor on New York - assuming he wins next year's election - before selling the firm. Proceeds of the sale - which are thought to amount to billions of dollars - will be used to form a charitable trust.
Founded in 1981, Bloomberg supplies the global business community with news, data and analysis as well as real-time pricing, historical pricing, indicative data, analytics and electronic communications via the Bloomberg Professional service. The company also has television, radio, publishing and Internet operations worldwide.
Investment bank Merrill Lynch holds a 20% share in the firm and senior staff have stakes thought to total about eight per cent, but the rest is understood to be owned by Bloomberg himself. The company's closest rival, UK news and information group Reuters, is valued at £5.6 billion.
Bloomberg is ranked by America's Forbes magazine as the 85th richest man in the world, with a fortune valued at $4.9bn. Much of this comprises his stake in the financial data business.

We fold up the map that we have the current location / our way as a map section so with the complete map, it would be to take the north bounded unhandlich.Anschließend map and compass in hand, is best so that the compass does not cover the current position ! the important thing now that the map is always facing north remains, which means that if we reach a junction we do not rotate the map with you, because this would have to follow the map no longer covers the terrain! Thus, it may well (and it will) happen that we can not or only read the writings heavy, it will be upside down or side to us.

We orient ourselves on the road network that is marked on the map, and always hold the card facing north. A Permanent map reading is not necessary, only on Wegscheidungen / forks is the position to update and check.

What is AC Drive?
A.C drive is also known as Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), variable speed drive (VSD) or Adjustable speed drive (ASD).
AC drive (alternating current drive) converts AC supply to DC using rectifier-based converter circuits and switches back to DC from DC using an inverter to control the speed of electric motors, especially three-phase motors.
AC Supply → Converted to DC → Again Inverted to AC → Electric Motor.
What is DC Drive?
DC drive technology is efficient, dependable, low-cost, user-friendly, and relatively simple to implement. DC drives have numerous advantages over AC drives, particularly in regenerative and high-power applications. DC drives have become popular in industrial drive applications due to their ability to provide extremely precise control.

Beginning at least by 3000 B.C.E., metal became the most prestigious material for many objects made in Iran, including ceramic containers for serving food. A source of inspiration in metalwork can sometimes be deduced from distinctive features preserved in the clay versions. Sharply angled shapes, as in this example, seem alien to the traditional ceramic repertoire and suggest an origin in metalwork. Other signs of metal prototypes are the colors of ceramic vessels, reflecting the manipulation of firing conditions to produce red, brown, gray, and black wares. Gray wares, like this vessel, most likely represent an attempt to mimic the color and gleaming surface of silver.

Eight U.S. airlines will be awarded 20 direct daily flights between U.S. cities and Havana, with service to begin this fall, the Transportation Department announced Thursday.
The airlines, whose selections won’t be finalized until the end of this month, will fly primarily from Florida — including six daily flights from Miami — although six other cities around the country are also included. A bid by United Airlines to operate direct flights from Washington was not approved.
The Transportation Department announcement said the selections were made to allocate nonstop Havana service to “areas of substantial Cuban-American population, as well as to important aviation hub cities.”
The announcement is one of the last steps toward putting into effect a commercial aviation agreement signed by the two countries in February as part of normalizing their relations. Separate awards announced last month authorized a smaller schedule of U.S. flights to other Cuban cities.
Although authorized charter flights began service to Cuba decades ago, regularly scheduled service has been prohibited since the early 1960s as part of U.S. economic sanctions against Cuba.
The normalization agreement also allows for Cuban airlines to fly to the United States, but Cuba has made no application to the Transportation Department for its national carrier, Cubana de Aviacion, to begin service. The Cuban government has put the issue “on hold” because of concerns that the government-owned planes could be seized to settle financial judgments against Cuba, according to John Kavulich of the New York-based U.S.-Cuba Trade and Economic Council.
U.S. courts have awarded damages totaling up to $2 billion in legal cases, most of them involving the 1996 Cuban shoot-down of a plane operated by the Miami-based exile group Brothers to the Rescue.
Separately, the U.S. Foreign Claims Settlement Commission has certified 5,913 property claims against Cuba for seizures following the 1959 revolution. Settlement of those claims, also totaling close to $2 billion, is part of ongoing U.S.-Cuba normalization. An unknown number of claimants have won court judgments outside the official settlement process.
Tourist travel to the island is still illegal under the remaining U.S. trade embargo, which only Congress can remove. But the Obama administration has greatly loosened restrictions on who can travel there, including approval of individual visits for self-declared “people-to-people” exchanges.
In the year following the announcement of normalization made by the two governments in December 2014, nearly 150,000 Americans — not including individuals of Cuban descent — visited Cuba out of more than 3 million visitors, according to Cuban statistics.
Figures for the first six months of 2016, visits are on track to total more than 300,000 this year, with an economic impact Kavulich estimated at about $630 million.
But he predicted a “massive choke point” as travel increases to Cuba, which operates only 64,000 hotel rooms. While the use of some U.S. credit cards and cellphone connections has been approved, the transactions and calls are often unworkable. Internet connections remain spotty.
U.S. carriers, however, clearly see Cuba as a potentially lucrative new market, and the routes tentatively awarded Thursday followed heated competition. Twelve carriers applied to carry passengers and cargo; the sharpest contest was between JetBlue and American, which vie to dominate U.S. travel to the Caribbean.
Carriers and tentatively awarded Havana routes included: Alaska Airlines, once daily from Los Angeles; American Airlines, four times daily from Miami and once daily from Charlotte; Delta Airlines, once daily from New York (JFK), Atlanta and Miami; and Frontier Airlines, once daily from Miami.
Others were JetBlue Airlines, twice daily from Fort Lauderdale (but once on Saturdays), and once daily from New York (JFK) and Orlando; Southwest Airlines, twice daily from Fort Lauderdale and once from Tampa; Spirit Airlines, twice daily from Fort Lauderdale; and United Airlines, once daily from Newark and once weekly (Saturdays) from Houston.
This story has been updated to note that 300,000 vists by Americans to Cuba are expected this year, not that there have already been 300,000 visits in the first six months of 2016.

Singapore shares open marginally higher on Wednesday
SINGAPORE shares opened higher with the benchmark Straits Times Index climbing 7.08 points to 2,859.49 at 9.01 am.
The gains have since narrowed with the STI up by merely 1.76 points to 2,854.17 as at 9.16am with 77 million shares worth S$82 million done. Gainers outpaced losers with 76 counters up and 64 down.
"Asia is expected to see another day of cautious trading, as the higher close in the European indices is unlikely to significantly boost sentiment," said IG market strategist Bernard Aw.
"Although we could see better interest ahead of the US markets' reopening after a three-day weekend, there is no doubt investors are going to focus on China, after Monday's mixed performance," Mr Aw added.
