ELKHART LAKE, Wis. – Savvy driving, smart race strategy and spot-on execution propelled Corvette Racing to a 1-2 finish today in the GT1 class in the American Le Mans Series Generac 500 at Road America. Ron Fellows and Johnny O'Connell scored a popular victory in their No. 3 Compuware Corvette C6.R with a one-lap margin over the No. 4 Compuware Corvette C6.R of Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta.
Today's win was the 25th career ALMS victory for both O'Connell and Fellows. The pair broke a yearlong drought with their first ALMS win since July 2005 and their first victory at Road America.
The race was essentially decided at 2 hours and 16 minutes when the third full-course caution period of the race began. The two Corvettes had adopted different pit strategies, with the No. 3 car making its second pit stop at 1:12 and the No. 4 pitting at 1:41. When the pace car came out for the final caution, the No. 3 Corvette C6.R had a one-lap lead on its sister car and the No. 007 Aston Martin. O'Connell then pitted under caution and completed his run to the checkered flag in the final half-hour without pressure. Beretta conserved fuel and ran his final one-hour, three-minute stint without a stop.
Defending GT1 champions Oliver Gavin and Olivier Beretta continue to lead the standings with 122 points. Fellows and O'Connell are second with 110 points, and Aston Martin drivers Tomas Enge and Darren Turner are third with 107.
Corvette Racing's next event is the Labor Day Weekend Grand Prix of Mosport at Mosport International Raceway in Bowmanville, Ont., on Sunday, Sept. 3. The eighth round of the 10-race ALMS series will be televised live on the SPEED Channel starting at 3 p.m. EDT.

EUROPEAN FILM AWARDS 2020
Los European Film Awards se entregarán en una gala virtual desde Berlín
por Cineuropa
23/10/2020 - La ceremonia, que también transmitiremos en nuestras páginas, acogerá el anuncio de los nominados para el nuevo Premio LUX del Público
Due to the pandemic, the 33rd European Film Awards will take place as a virtual ceremony without an audience, broadcast and streamed from the European Film Academy's seat, Berlin, on Saturday, 12 December 2020. The awarding procedures will remain the same, i.e. most awards are voted for directly by the over 3,800 EFA Members. The nominations will also be announced online, on Tuesday, 10 November, in a livestream presented together with EFA's longtime partners at the Seville European Film Festival in Spain.
Amidst this situation, Cineuropa is proud to support the European Film Awards by becoming once again a livestreamer of both the awards ceremony on 12 December and the nominations announcement on 10 November.
Furthermore, for the first time this year, the awards ceremony will also host the announcement of the three nominees for the brand-new LUX - European Audience Film Award, the new pan-European Audience Award created by the European Parliament and the European Film Academy that will be voted on by audiences across Europe (read news here).
The decision of cancelling the planned event in Reykjavik and postponing it for December 2022, was taken due to the deteriorating situation linked to the pandemic in an increasing number of European countries, including Iceland, and in full and mutual agreement by the European Film Academy (EFA), the Mayor of Reykjavik Dagur B. Eggertsson and the Icelandic Minister of Education, Science and Culture Lilja Alfreðsdóttir. The pandemic will affect all events usually taking place during the EFA Weekend. The European Film Academy and its in-house company EFA Productions are currently working on a new concept for an EFA Week of additional online-events to involve its partners and members, including the annual General Assembly.
EFA Chairman Mike Downey comments: "The decision was not easy but it was made with responsibility and out of care for our guests. The good news is, however, that all of this can be maintained and that our inspiring co-operation will continue with the aim to create an even more exciting celebration of European cinema in Iceland in December 2022, when the world will hopefully have defeated COVID-19." Following their usual rhythm, the 34th EFAs will take place in Berlin in 2021.

Amniocentesis is a screening technique used between the 15th and 16th week of pregnancy. A very fine needle is inserted into the uterus through the mother's belly. The doctor uses the ultrasound to make sure that the needle in inserted in the right place and draws a small quantity of amniotic liquid to analyze it in order to detect genetic abnormalities.


I saw this new theme on wordpress and I really liked how it looked and felt — and I was getting really bored with my old one. My only concern is whether there's too much pink for the background. I really like it, but is it too much?

Twisted (Deathwind Trilogy #1) is a spin off from The Destroyers Series
Sixteen-year-old Allie isn't like other girls. Instead of spending her summer break sitting around on the beach, she takes the epic vacation of a lifetime.
Tornado chasing.
And she's not disappointed. Just a few miles from the town of Evansburg, Nebraska, Allie meets her dream of seeing a tornado. In person. She can't wait to tell her friends back home. Never mind that her parents are going to kill her.
But her dream soon turns into a nightmare, and a strange event leaves her shocked. Confused. When she returns home to Wisconsin, something's…different. Allie now bears a curse so awful, it could destroy everyone and everything she's ever known.
With her best friend, Tommy, Allie must return to the plains to find a way to reverse it. She enters a world that she had never imagined, where she becomes a pawn in a fight to save the people of Evansburg from her fate…or to destroy them.
The cover will be revealed on November 15th! If you are interested in participating in the cover reveal sign up here. In the meantime here is the first chapter from Twisted!
My very first tornado touches the grass of the plains.
I stand next to the van, mouth dropping open, heart pounding. It's the moment I've been waiting for, saved money for, begged my uncle to book us for the Wild Weather Storm Chasing Tours for.
Uncle Cassius swears next to me, equally in awe. It barely cuts over the wind rushing towards the distant funnel. Waves of grass bow down to the twister, whipped down by the surrounding air flying in to feed it. The perfect white cone stands out against the coal sky, slim and graceful. A skirt of dust spins around its base, signaling its dance through a field a few miles away.
"Beautiful!" Kyle, our storm chaser guide, snaps a photo for his website. He steals a glance at me and smiles. He's all enthusiasm, joy that we've found our prey. "Don't worry. We're safe. It's heading to the east. It'll pass no closer than a couple of miles to our north."
I want his job someday.
"I'm not scared," I said, but my shaky voice betrays me. Who am I kidding? Kyle's an experienced chaser–twenty years–but this is a real tornado. In person. Live. I never realized it would be this intense, this breathtaking. A hollow feeling fills my stomach like I'm plunging down the first hill of a roller coaster.
The tornado curves, almost like it's leaning to the side for a better look at something. At us? It's a silly thought, one that makes me laugh. The thunderstorm spins slowly above it, low and menacing. Thunder claps. It's enough to remind me that the storm in front of me isn't just beautiful. It's a predator, entrancing like a cobra and ready to strike.
Good thing there's no houses or buildings in its way. Only farmland stretches from horizon to horizon.
"Allie. Forget your camera?" Uncle Cassius slaps me on the arm, smiling. It's a tense smile. So I'm not the only one with some nerves going.
Yes. Duh.
I pull it out of my pocket and fumble with the slim case, fingers hunting for the button. The camera zings to life. Behind it, the tornado looms a bit larger, gaining strength and racing across the ground. More dust kicks up around the perfect white of the twister.
"Now I can really prove to everyone at school how crazy I am." I give Uncle Cassius a nervous chuckle. The camera trembles in my hands as I catch the tornado in my view, click, and seal it in my memory forever.
I'm having the most insane summer vacation of my entire high school.
I lift the camera for another shot, backing up to squeeze the tornado into the viewport. I click another picture and lowered the camera again for another look.
My heart jumps.
The tornado looms larger, taller. Kyle holds his hand up to his face, squinting for a better view. Even Uncle Cassius goes quiet, stiffening and taking a step back towards the tour van.
All at once I understand.
The tornado has changed course.
Kyle turns. Real fear widens his features.
"Get in the van," he shouts.
The one big thing I can recall from those first ten seconds is the roar, like a distant train growing closer. The wind whips my hair back, trying to pull me back out of the van. It feels like the twister's right behind me already, coming down for the kill.
I slam the door on it. The funnel's much bigger behind the glass, so much that I can't see the top of it anymore.
Uncle Cassius snaps on his seat belt next to me. Kyle starts it up, punches the gas, and gets us back on the road to nowhere.
I toss my camera to the floor. My hands fumble with the seat belt. The van speeds up, slamming me into the seat. The specter of the tornado closes in, whipping across the field towards us. I've heard of tornadoes making sudden turns like this but I never realized it could happen this fast. It rips across the field, coming straight at us. My heart beats on a runaway course. My mind locks into overdrive. I feel like that news crew they always have on tornado shows, that one that survived by hiding under that overpass. Will Kyle make us get out and climb under one? They're actually bad places to hide. That news crew got off lucky. Kyle knows better. He's been chasing storms longer than I've been alive.
Only green and yellow spreads out ahead. No shelter for miles. Worse, no ditches. The radar on Kyle's laptop is covered in ugly red and orange blotches like Nebraska has sores.
A hole of panic opens up inside me and for the first time, I regret coming on this vacation.
"Can't you go faster?" Uncle Cassius leans forward in his seat, gaze hard, arms trembling.
Uncle Cassius never loses his cool.
Not even when I accidentally set his Persian rug on fire when I was seven and broke my arm at the age of nine.
Outside, the tornado grows so close that I could only see the bottom half of the funnel. The van bounces along every speed bump on the highway, every uneven spot. My stomach heaves. I'm going to be sick right here. It's my stupid fault we're in this mess.
"I don't understand." Kyle punches the gas harder, making the van jump. He turns his head like Linda Blair in the Exorcist, eyes widening. "The tornado should not be moving this way."
He's right. It shouldn't. But it is.
The funnel reaches the road behind us, twisting harder, kicking up earth higher and higher. We've gotten out in front of it. I breathe a sigh of relief. Kyle and Uncle Cassius do the same. It'll cross the road and forget all about us.
Kyle lets off the gas a little and the whine of the engine calms some. "We're safe now. That was highly unusual. I've never seen a tornado turn like that in my career." There's a hint of an apology in his voice.
"Well, that was a close one, wasn't it, Allie?" Uncle Cassius hugs me from the side.
"Yeah," I say, willing my heart to slow down. At least I can think straight now. Can I even do another two days of this?
Wow, what a dumb idea this was.
But I still can't resist another look at the storm. I turn as far as my seat belt allows.
My guts fall out of me all over again.
The tornado's still on the road, bigger than ever. It can't be.
The twister has turned again. It's coming right up behind us. Rolling dust eats the entire highway. There's tornado taking up the whole view of the back window. Dust rips to the sides. The bottom of its funnel spins with fury, big enough to swallow a house whole. Its roar screams against the outside of the van, shaking the seat, pushing the whole van to the side.
It's no longer beautiful.
"Ohmigod," I say, sucking in a breath. "Um…Kyle? Stomp on the gas. Just saying."
"I know!" he snaps. His knuckles turn white on the steering wheel. The van lurches again but he maintains control.
"Allie, get down!" Uncle Cassius puts his huge hand on my back and pushes me towards the floor.
The seat belt cuts into my throat.
What good is it going to do? If the tornado lifts the car–
I'm going to die.
I begged to go on this trip and now Uncle Cassius is going to die too.
The windows shatter with a deafening boom and the wind screams in my ears. AllieAllieAllieAllie…
I can't breathe.
We're floating.
Uncle Cassius shouts something. Kyle yells. If I'm screaming, I can't tell. The storm's sucking it right out of me. Windy hands seize my arms, my legs.
They pull.
My safety belt snaps, whipping against my leg. I cry out with the sting. The seat disappears under me.
I'm flying.
The tornado's ripping me right out of the van.
The world turns to a white and brown roar. The van's gone. I have no time to cry out to Uncle Cassius before the world snaps to black and silence takes the place of all.

Book Five of the Destroyers Series
This is the fifth and final book of the Destroyers Series.
Things are never easy when you're growing up. They're even worse when you're also a group of walking natural disasters.
With the insane goddess Andrina on the loose, Janelle and her friends have no choice but to seek out Huracan, the ancient Mayan god of storms, to combat her. But their solution could cause more problems on their adventure than they ever anticipated. Huracan is an old god who craved power and human sacrifice, and handing over power to him could return the world to those days…and mean their end.
Janelle, weary from her position as Tempest High Leader, may finally have a way out of the nightmare she and her boyfriend, Gary, have lived in since she discovered her true identity. But waking up an old, grumpy storm god and giving back her curse might not be better than anything she's ever known.
Since Kenna learned of her place as a volcano goddess, she has struggled to control her power…and anger. Tired of being helpless in the face of Andrina and falling into her traps, she must discover her own abilities or perish. Unfortunately, Andrina has her own new plans for Kenna.
Paul, riddled with guilt from being forced to turn his girlfriend, Leslie, into an Outbreaker like him, has promised that she will be human again, no matter what price Huracan demands from him. Anything is better than watching her turn into a tornado each time it storms, unable to stop herself from destroying everything around her.
Leslie fears that she will be forced to help Andrina bring Janelle to her side. Worse, she fears that she will lose Paul. She's willing to sacrifice her humanity forever to keep him safe, but if Paul doesn't listen, she could lose everything she loves.
Sophia has lived her entire life harboring a winter demon in her body, a dangerous spirit that can take her over and freeze others at any moment. Her new friends need the demon's help in order to track down the storm god, but there's no telling what she can do and when.
An adventure told from the point of view of five different teens, this is the conclusion to the Destroyers Series.

Clinical trials of cannabis used to treat epilepsy shows promising results
SALT LAKE CITY – Could a pharmaceutical grade cannabis help treat young women with severe epilepsy? That's what researchers at the University of Utah and Primary Children's Hospital have been looking into the past two years.
"Most of the patients we treat have already been on trials of over 5 usually more than 10 seizure medications or other treatments. Those have been unsuccessful," said Dr. Francis Filloux, who is overseeing the clinical trials.
Young patients have been taking Epidiolex, a liquid form of Cannabidiol.
Researchers say early clinical results are promising with patients reporting a 40 percent decrease in the amount and severity of seizures.
"There have been mild side effects most of them have been tolerable. For example, children have had diarrhea because of the oil the substance is dissolved in some have been more tired, some changes in appetite," Filloux said.
Johanne Holme's son Porter is participating in the clinical trials.
"Eight weeks after he was born, he had his first seizure," Holmes said.
The 8-year-old finds comfort with his service dog, Thumper, but endures severe seizures.
"He was having at least four or more a month," Holmes said.
Porter is taking several medications to treat his seizures, but so far nothing has worked.
In July, he began taking Epidiolex and his mom is seeing a big improvement.
"He's speaking more. He's interacting more," Holmes said.
Holme's understands people's reservations about the medication. She encourages people to do their homework.
"You have to go in with it with an open mind that it could possibly not work, but fortunately for us it has significantly improved his life," she said.
Researchers will wrap up testing within the next six months. If approved by the Food and Drug Administration, the medication could be on the market within two years.

The play "Strangled her" – Wlessa Official Facebook Page
Mass media able to break outdated norms against women
By: Marina Gamil
Thu, Nov. 30, 2017
CAIRO – 30 November 2017: The Anti-harassment Unit at Cairo University will host the Wlessa band to perform the play "Strangled her" (Teh Makhnou'a) for four successive days starting from Sunday, December 3, as part of the 16 Days Activism against Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Campaign running between November 25 and December 10.
Since its foundation in 2014, the Anti-harassment Unit in Cairo University has organized a program every year on the sidelines of the UN campaign for women to raise awareness concerning violence against women in Egypt.
Deputy Director of the Unit Ghada Ali said that the program mainly includes cultural symposia on violence against women, sexual harassment, and outdated social norms against women, as well as highlighting the problems women face based solely on their gender.
One of the main plays that will be presented is "Strangled her." The comedy centers on the pain every woman encounter in society due to gender discrimination, patriarchal family upbringing, Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), sexual harassment, and many more issues.
After the show, a seminar will be held to discuss these problems and ways to solve them. In addition, arts workshops are set up to help girls express their inner feelings and speak up through drawings and artwork.
"Art is the most influential way, and is more powerful than words, to raise awareness about sexual harassment and to bring up generations with moral values. For example, we teach girls through plays and videos how to protect themselves from harassment," noted Ali.
Ali pointed out that the films, series, television shows and songs have a powerful effect in shaping people's lives. It is often thought violence against women and children increases in society in correlation to the increase of negative impact of the media.
Hence, within their program, the unit proves that mass media also has positive effects and could be used to combat this phenomenon by presenting videos from real life.
"In our unit, we depend on the idea that university students are the most essential category in societies as they would bring up future generations.
That is why, through them we could break the outdated norms spread among families who; for example, wrongly teach their girls to run away without speaking up when they are verbally abused. By teaching those students the best ways to face such problems, societies will get rid of the old and wrong traditions," Ali explained.
In the International 16-day campaign running between November 25 and December 10, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) presented photos of objects collected from actual abuse cases around the world.
The objects range from mundane possessions, like mute witnesses to abuse, to items used against women or girls, like weapons. They also include pictures of places where women have sought refuge and places where men sought recovery.
The aim of presenting these objects is to spotlight the unspoken epidemic of violence against girls and women across the globe, in every culture, community and country. They help show the true scope of violence against women and the need for action to end this epidemic, affecting more than 70 percent of girls and women around the world.
The 16 Days of Activism against the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) Campaign aims to both reflect on violence against women and remind people that they can take action now and throughout the year to eliminate that violence in all its forms.
The campaign is an annual international campaign that starts on November 25, the International Day of the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and ends on December 10, the Human Rights Day. It highlights that any form of violence against girls and women is a human rights violation. The 16 days also overlap with the International Women Human Rights Defenders Day on November 29.
This article is part of Egypt Today's campaign "Break the Silence ... Say No to Violence" marking the 16-Day campaign of activism against gender-based violence GBV from November 25 to December 10.

On the cusp of turning 65, a man and his beloved rescue dog of similar vintage take a poignant, often bemusing, and keenly observed journey across America and discover a big-hearted, welcoming country filled with memorable characters, a new-found appreciation for the life they temporarily left behind, and a determination to live more fully in the moment as old age looms. Inspired by John Steinbeck's Travels with Charley, Zheutlin, hits the road for a 9,000-mile odyssey with Albie to experience all that America is and means today. Similar in approach and tone to Bill Bryson's best-selling travel classics, but with an endearing canine sidekick, The Dog Went Over the Mountain will delight dog lovers, baby boomers and anyone who seeks to experience life on the open road with a four-legged companion.
Peter Zheutlin is a freelance journalist and author whose work has appeared regularly in The Boston Globe and The Christian Science Monitor. He has also written for The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, AARP Magazine and numerous other publications in the U.S. and abroad. He is the author of the New York Times bestseller Rescue Road: One Man, Thirty Thousand Dogs and a Million Miles on the Lost Hope Highway and Rescued: What Second-Chance Dogs Teach Us About Living with Purpose, Loving with Abandon, and Finding Joy in the Little Things. Peter lives in Massachusetts with his wife, author Judy Gelman.

Endorsements & Reviews
"Fans of Zheutlin's previous titles will find exactly what they expect here: a deep affection for dogs . . . winsome curiosity about the folks he meets along the way, and a spirit of mature adventure. This is the territory of Bill Bryson: a wry, thoughtful look at the byways of America. Book clubs should certainly consider taking this delightful trip" Booklist
"A thought-provoking read very much in the spirit of Travels with Charley. Every generation rediscovers America anew; Peter and Albie capture the magic and essence Steinbeck discovered with Charley." Michele Speich, Executive Director, National Steinbeck Center
"An entertaining account of a man and his dog traveling along America's highways. . . . Teen and adult fans of Bill Bryson's travel books and stories of rescue animals will find this delightful." Library Journal
"While the journey itself wasn't always easy, [Zheutlin's] easygoing writing style makes for comfortable reading. . . . Your own next adventure might only be as far as the dog park, but reading The Dog Went Over the Mountain may inspire you, like Zheutlin, to end the trip with an ice cream cone and a hug for the dog who is part of your journey" BookPage
"Entertaining and thoughtful. Packed with history, fascinating characters, and of course, fabulous dogs. A great book for anyone who loves dogs, road trips, or America. As someone who loves all three, I was captivated right from the beginning." Teresa Rhyne, author of the #1 NYT bestseller The Dog Lived (And So Will I)
"Zheutlin and Albie got to share the kind of cross-country journey that most Americans only dream about in the autumn of their lives. This story should inspire countless to get out there and go while man and mutt both still have the energy and enthusiasm to explore." Kim Kavin, award-winning author of The Dog Merchants
"Zheutlin takes readers on a road to enlightenment that delights in the ordinary and spins gold from the day-to-day observations of our divided nation in flux. It's a tale as timely as it is timeless, with the bond between man and dog as its beating heart. Peter and Albie's journey gives us hope that the America we dreamed of isn't as far away or as nostalgic as we thought." Rory Kress, journalist and author of The Doggie in the Window
"Poignant and magnificent. Brilliantly observed and Odyssean in breadth, this book reveals all that is generous about the American heart. A classic story of finding truth and humanity in the mundane—and how a man and his dog learned to live in the moment, on the trip of a lifetime." Elissa Altman, author of Motherland
"Peter Zheutlin has written a lovely, moving, important book about a subject that is both heartbreaking and joyful. Greg Mahle, the central figure of this story, is now a hero of mine. Dogs are not just property. They are one way God tests our compassion." Dean Koontz (Praise for RESCUE ROAD)

FORT GREENE – Gangstas Making Astronomical Community Changes (G-MACC) celebrated the opening of its second Brooklyn office at 349 Myrtle Avenue (between Carlton Avenue & Adelphi Street) with a ribbon-cutting on Friday, January 18.
Founded by former gang member Shanduke McPhatter in 2008, G-MACC is a non-profit organization that works with former gang members and the formerly incarcerated to reach out to communities impacted by gun violence and gang activity, creating positive change through activism and outreach.
G-MACC strives to change "the lives of those caught in the street life, which involves drugs, guns, violence, prison and the overall gangsta mentality" by offering resources and tools to youth and adults in and out of the prison system, the organization's website states. G-MACC opened its first office at 5712 Church Avenue in East Flatbush in 2015.
The group operates using the Cure Violence Health Model, according to a release by Council Member Laurie Cumbo (District 35) announcing the new G-MACC facility. This model can prevent violence by implementing strategies associated with disease/epidemic control: detecting and interrupting conflicts, identifying and treating high-risk individuals, and changing community norms.
The Cure Violence Health Model trains community members, or trusted insiders, how to determine where violent incidents might occur and how to intervene before they start. Learn more at cureviolence.org.
By treating gun violence as a public health emergency and working with "credible messengers," G-MACC prevents and interrupts violence in neighborhoods, Cumbo noted. She, along with Council Members Jumaane Williams (District 45) and Vanessa Gibson (District 16, Bronx), as well as anti-gun advocates, worked with the city to launch the Mayor's Office to Prevent Gun Violence in 2017. G-MACC is one of a dozen community partners of the office.

Part of the value of the SBC is the conversation and developing relationships that happen while we're here. We've had the chance to meet people previously only known online like Marty Duren, Daniel Randle, Travis Hilton, and we are still trying to meet up with others. Marty is fast becoming a good friend. We met great guys from Lifeway like Chris Turner, Russ Rankin, David Hassell and others. Very cool people. It seems like a lot of people are familiar with our blogs and that has been pretty fun. We've seen old friends/aquaintences from our Seminary days (even Al Mohler, who doesn't remember me at all LOL). Is the Convention useful to the younger leaders and churches? If we really value conversation and relationships like we say, can't the SBC be one of the places for those things? Isn't this a place where we can disuss, maybe even discover, what it means to be missional and incarnational. I'm just writing out loud here, but what we've found so far is that there are opportunities to dialogue and develop meaningful relationships. Tonight we're hoping to meet up with some friends for more.

New York Magazine's Art Critic Jerry Saltz recently reviewed several AI generated pieces of art including my own. The piece begins at 19:45 in the above HBO Vice video. I was prepared for the worst, but pleased when he looked at this Portrait of Elle Reeve and commented that my robots have "good taste" and that "It doesn't look like a computer made it." But he then paused and concluded "That doesn't make it any good." But I loved the review since a couple of years ago the art world did not even consider what I was doing to be art. At least now it is considered bad art. That's progress!
All the AI generated art got roasted, but at least I got what I considered to be the best review of all my colleagues which included some of the world's finest AI generated artwork.

The Ayurveda Experience in India
Advice, Blog, Lifestyle, Lissa's Blog
I'm a California girl, born and raised. I never travelled much when I was young, I really couldn't afford to. Other than a spring break in Mexico I hadn't even left the country much. But then, in 2000, Deepak Chopra organized a group to go to India, and I felt compelled to go. I had to go, I just somehow felt the trip was a must for me.
And so I went.
What an adventure! I had been studying Ayurveda and Vedic philosophy for many years, but being in the country where it all began was magical and exciting. I loved every single moment I spent there. And I learned so much, not only about the culture and the history of this beautiful place, but about myself. India opened up a whole new world to me, and my life was forever changed after that trip.
Significantly, I took my son along with me to experience India. In India, age 14 is still pretty much considered the time of becoming an adult. In the past, when boys would reach age 14 they'd go off with their teachers and start preparing for life as a man. My son had his 14th birthday at the Taj Mahal, and I felt so fortunate that he had the opportunity to see this magnificent wonder with me. What a gift!
Fast forward to 14 years later. I've written several books, taught classes and immersed myself in the Ayurvedic lifestyle. And once again, I had the opportunity to visit Mother India. Fourteen years later! How relevant, how amazing… how perfect.
This trip was very different from the first. I felt calm, relaxed, and at home from the very start. I spent time with friends who live and work in India, so rather than feeling like a tourist, I had the chance to see what it's like to be a resident there. I went to the grocery store, and to the mall. Life in India is not unlike life here, there's just a lot more of it! More people, more cars, more commotion.
There are some ways in which India has become more "western" in its culture over the years. Technology, certainly, with just about everyone having smart phones, like we do here. But there are other ways that India is so much more thoughtful, and complex in their thinking than we are, and we could learn from this. Where the U.S. seems to have a Starbucks on every corner, India has a temple pretty much walking distance from wherever you are. There is still a strong tie to spirituality, and all the morals and ethics that go with it. These values are passed down from generation to generation right in the home, as grandparents live right down the hall from their grandchildren. Family watches out for each other still. Multi-generational homes are the norm in India.
Spirituality is where people put their priority. Here in the U.S., we have Disney World, a tribute to corporate culture, and Las Vegas, otherwise known as "Sin City." One of the largest and most popular attractions in India is Akshardham. Akshardham is a temple complex in Delhi that celebrates traditional Indian culture, spirituality, and architecture. It's free to get in, and the place is always crowded. Like Disney World there are rides with robotics, but these rides tell of the history of India, and encourage visitors to honor one another, and all of life. There's a display with all of the important reasons to "go veg" or "vegetarian" as most of the country does. Like Vegas, there is an amazing display of dancing fountains, and a show the lights and special effects. But this show talks about how we are all connected, and how we need to take care of nature and appreciate its gifts to us.
Most of the people I met in India spoke perfect English as well as their native language. There are several different languages spoken in India, depending on the region, and most people can communicate in a few of these languages also. I took a bit of German and Spanish in high school, but I'm by no means fluent in any other language. I deeply respect those who can converse in other languages. It certainly made it easy for me! I intend to go back to India, and I want to study Hindi before I go — I think it's only fair if I at least try while I'm a guest there!
I feel very blessed to have found a group of people who share my passion for Ayurveda and in bringing it to a larger audience in the west. These friends took good care of me while we worked long hours creating a comprehensive e-course called "The Ayurveda Experience." It's filmed in India, with a Bollywood director. And it is absolutely amazing! The crew was so hardworking and kind. Everyone was genuinely happy to be a part of the team. My favorite part of the day was before we got started, we would all gather and do a "puja" or a prayer ritual with a chant and incense. The puja honored Ganesh, the Hindu god who brings good fortune to new endeavors, and it was Ganesh's picture that was the first image shot on film each day.
I think we're coming around a bit here in the west. Now alongside the Starbucks on the corner, we've also got a yoga studio. The more people see the benefits that a yoga practice brings, the more they will want to explore other gifts that India has brought to us — like Ayurveda. Ayurveda is a sister science with Yoga, and in India, the two are practiced together. It would be unthinkable, silly really, to think of one without the other! And yet, here we are, many thinking of Yoga as merely a form of "exercise." We have a lot to learn. And hopefully we will catch on. Ayurveda is a good next step to do so. With an ayurvedic lifestyle we can be healthy and happy, in every aspect of our lives. I thank India every day for bringing this beautiful "science of life" to us!
"We must be the change we wish to see in the world."
-Mahatma Gandhi
Our spiritual practice has purpose. It helps us to learn and grow and feel our connection with the Divine. And it also helps to lift the spiritual energy of the whole planet! The more people who devote time to spiritual practice, the better off our world will be. So, there are two things we can each do, every day, to help ourselves and each other. 1. Continue regular spiritual practices. This includes prayer, meditation, reading spiritual works, serving others, and giving of our time and talents.
2. Encourage others to spend time pursuing their own spiritual practices. This may mean babysitting some youngsters so their mother can spend some time in silence, or sending enlightening e-mails on to friends!

Édifices civils
 ancien château fort du  rebâti en 1709 ;
 moulin à  de Bazoncourt près de Lemud, existe depuis 875 ; construit à côté de la Nied française qui a une faible pente à cet endroit ; arrêté le  janvier 1950 ; c'est aujourd'hui une maison recouverte de vignes ;
 trois cafés ont fonctionné les uns après les autres :
 le café « Mathiotte », le plus ancien, à Vaucremont dans la maison d'Émile Guéder : les gens y jouaient à la bête ou au piquet et au temps des Vozes-notes (la Saint-Valentin en patois lorrain), on formait des couples fictifs et le dimanche suivant la jeune fille offrait des meringues au jeune homme ;
 le café « Chez la Bibi » au 31, rue de la Forêt qui appartenait à la famille Guéder ;
 le café « Pauline » ;
 le chemin des Vignes est un circuit de randonnée et de découverte d'une distance de deux kilomètres et présentant une diversité botanique intéressante et une vue panoramique sur la vallée de la Nied et au-delà.

Édifices religieux

 L'église paroissiale Saint-Christophe de Bazoncourt date du  et a replacé une autre église romane. Son clocher, construit en 1858, est d'inspiration suisse. Il a été payé en partie par la famille de Courten propriétaire de l'ancien château de Bazoncourt et d'origine suisse. Trois cloches installées en 1924 remplacent celles réquisitionnées par l'état allemand.
 La chapelle Saint-Matthieu de Berlize date du . Elle a subi de nombreuses destructions et reconstructions. La façade nord présente un arc boutant démontrant une construction gothique. La partie la plus authentique est son chœur de forme carré.
 Trois calvaires : celui situé à  de la ferme de Fresnois a le plus de caractère et est le plus ancien. On raconte qu'il aurait été construit par des habitants épargnés par une épidémie de choléra ou de peste. Sur le socle est inscrit 1778. Sur une autre partie, une inscription illisible accompagnée de la date 1818. Le calvaire aurait-il été abattu à la Révolution et reconstitué ensuite en 1818 ? Le Christ a été arraché, il reste la place des clous.

À noter que les fermes de Fresnois et Fourcheux dépendent de la paroisse de Maizeroy et le moulin de Bazoncourt, de celle de Lemud, pour des raisons évidentes de proximité.

Personnalités liées à la commune
 Albert BRONDEX,  1737-1797 né à Berlize. Il est l'auteur de 22 ouvrages dont le plus marquant est Chan Heurlin, considéré comme le joyau de la littérature messine.
 Hubert VION, né à Noisseville le 10 décembre 1820 et décédé le 27 novembre 1896. Il est nommé curé de Bazoncourt en 1869 et le resta jusqu'à sa mort. En 1870, il est arrêté par les allemands et condamné à mort pour espionnage. Le  général allemand Manteuffel récemment nommée commandant de l'état major, refusa de ratifier cette condamnation qui fut commuée en peine de prison. Maîtrisant le patois,  l'abbé Vion est l'auteur de plusieurs documents sur cette langue. Lucien Adam, auteur de l'ouvrage "les patois lorrains", le cite comme référent. Dans la biographie de son œuvre magistrale "Le dictionnaire des patois lorrains romans de Moselle", Léon Zéliqzon cite le projet de dictionnaire patois de l'abbé Vion. Ce dernier eut l'audace d'adresser un compliment en patois à Guillaume II en visite dans la région, et ce, malgré l'interdiction d'employer toute autre langue que l'Allemand dans les régions annexées.

In poorest countries, surges worsen shortages of vaccines

KAMPALA – Hati Maronjei once swore he would never get a COVID-19 shot, after a pastor warned that vaccines aren't safe.
Now, four months after the first batch of vaccines arrived in Zimbabwe, the 44-year-old street hawker of electronic items is desperate for the shot he can't get. Whenever he visits a clinic in the capital, Harare, he is told to try again the next day.
"I am getting frustrated and afraid," he said. "I am always in crowded places, talking, selling to different people. I can't lock myself in the house."
A sense of dread is growing in some of the very poorest countries in the world as virus cases surge and more contagious variants take hold amid a crippling shortage of vaccine.
The crisis has alarmed public health officials along with the millions of unvaccinated, especially those who toil in the informal, off-the-books economy, live hand-to-mouth and pay cash in health emergencies. With intensive care units filling up in cities overwhelmed by the pandemic, severe disease can be a death sentence.
Africa is especially vulnerable. Its 1.3 billion people account for 18% of the world's population, but the continent has received only 2% of all vaccine doses administered globally. And some African countries have yet to dispense a single shot.
Health experts and world leaders have repeatedly warned that even if rich nations immunize all their people, the pandemic will not be defeated if the virus is allowed to spread in countries starved of vaccine.
"We've said all through this pandemic that we are not safe unless we are all safe," said John Nkengasong, a Cameroonian virologist who heads the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "We are only as strong as the weakest link."
Zimbabwe, which has imposed new lockdown measures because of a sharp rise in deaths and cases in the country of over 15 million people, has used just over a million of 1.7 million doses, blaming shortages in urban areas on logistical challenges.
Long lines form at centers such as Parirenyatwa Hospital, unlike months ago, when authorities were begging people to get vaccinated. Many are alarmed as winter sets in and the variant first identified in South Africa spreads in Harare, where young people crowd into betting houses, some with masks dangling from their chins and others without.
"Most people are not wearing masks. There is no social distancing. The only answer is a vaccine, but I can't get it," Maronjei said.
At the start of the pandemic, many deeply impoverished countries with weak health care systems appeared to have avoided the worst. That is changing.
"The sobering trajectory of surging cases should rouse everyone to urgent action," said Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, Africa director of the World Health Organization. "Public health measures must be scaled up fast to find, test, isolate and care for patients, and to quickly trace and isolate their contacts."
New cases on the continent rose by nearly 30% in the past week, she said Thursday.
In Zambia, where a vaccination campaign has stalled, authorities reported that the country is running out of bottled oxygen. Sick people whose symptoms are not severe are being turned away by hospitals in Lusaka, the capital.
"When we reached the hospital, we were told there was no bed space for her," Jane Bwalya said of her 70-year-old grandmother. "They told us to manage the disease from home. So we just went back home, and we are trying to give her whatever medicine can reduce the symptoms."
Uganda is likewise fighting a sharp rise in cases and is seeing an array of variants. Authorities report that the surge is infecting more people in their 20s and 30s.
Intensive care units in and around the capital, Kampala, are almost full, and Misaki Wayengera, a doctor who heads a committee advising Uganda's government, said some patients are "praying for someone to pass on" so that they can get an ICU bed.
Many Ugandans feel hopeless when they see the astronomical medical bills of patients emerging from intensive care. Some have turned to concoctions of boiled herbs for protection. On social media, suggestions include lemongrass and small flowering plants. That has raised fears of poisoning.
Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni imposed new restrictions this month that included closing all schools. But he avoided the extreme lockdown measures of last year, saying he didn't want to hurt people's livelihoods in a country with a vast informal sector.
For beauticians, restaurant workers and vendors in crowded open-air markets struggling to put food on the table, the threat from COVID-19 may be high, but taking even a day off when sick is a hardship. Testing costs $22 to $65, prohibitive for the working class.
"Unless I am feeling very sick, I wouldn't waste all my money to go and test for COVID," said Aisha Mbabazi, a waiter in a restaurant just outside Kampala.
The 28-year-old had a scare weeks ago, she said, noting that a COVID-19 infection could cost her the job if her employer found out. But she has been unable to get a shot.
"I really wanted the vaccine because for us, any time you can get COVID," she said. "Even just touching the menu."
Dr. Ian Clarke, who founded a hospital in Uganda, said that while vaccine demand is growing among the previously hesitant, "the downside is that we do not know when, or from where, we will get the next batch" of shots.
Africa has recorded more than 5 million confirmed COVID-19 cases, including 135,000 deaths. That is a small fraction of the world's caseload, but many fear the crisis could get much worse.
Nearly 90% of African countries are set to miss the global target of vaccinating 10% of their people by September, according to the World Health Organization.
One major problem is that COVAX, the U.N.-backed project to supply vaccine to poor corners of the world, is itself facing a serious shortage of vaccine.
Amid a global outcry over the gap between the haves and the have-nots, the U.S., Britain and the other Group of Seven wealthy nations agreed last week to share at least 1 billion doses with struggling countries over the next year, with deliveries starting in August.
In the meantime, many of the world's poor wait and worry.
In Afghanistan, where a surge threatens to overwhelm a war-battered health system, 700,000 doses donated by China arrived over the weekend, and within hours, "people were fighting with each other to get to the front of the line," said Health Ministry spokesman Dr. Ghulam Dastigir Nazari.
The vaccine rush is notable in a country where many question the reality of the virus and rarely wear masks or social distance, often mocking those who do.
At the end of May, approximately 600,000 Afghans had received at least one dose, or less than 2% of the population of 36 million. But the number of those fully vaccinated is minute — "so few I couldn't even say any percentage," according to Nazari.
In Haiti, hospitals are turning away patients as the country awaits its first shipment of vaccines. A major delivery via COVAX was delayed amid government concern over side effects and a lack of infrastructure to keep the doses properly refrigerated.
"I'm at risk every single day," said Nacheline Nazon, a 22-year-old salesperson who takes a colorful, crowded bus known as a tap-tap to work at a clothing store in Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, because that is all she can afford.
She said she wears a mask and washes her hands. If the vaccine becomes available, she said, "I'll probably be the first one in line to get it."

Nygard companies fighting for ownership of Winnipeg property
Posted on December 4, 2020 by Manny
Nine Nygard companies in receivership since March are fighting to take back control of their assets, even though only part of their debt has been repaid.
In November, Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench Justice James Edmond approved a motion by receiver Richter Advisory Group Inc. to maintain control of the Nygard Group of companies, and finalize the sale of a property on Inkster Boulevard in Winnipeg. Proceeds from that sale would be put toward unsecured creditors.
"A receiver is not entitled to maintain possession and control of private property, after the applicant lender has been repaid in full, simply because the court does not prefer the alternative," said lawyers for the Nygard group in a Nov. 27 notice of appeal.
The Nygard Group of companies were nearly $50 million in debt to approximately 350 creditors around the world when the only secured creditor — American lender White Oak Commercial Finance, LLC — took them to court in March.
Court filings in the case say White Oak has since been repaid.
Last month, the Nygard companies unsuccessfully argued that Richter's job as receiver was therefore complete, and the court should discharge the receivership and prevent the sale of the Inkster property. They lost and are now appealing that decision to the Manitoba Court of Appeal.
"The debt which formed the basis of the appointment order had been completely satisfied and with it, the Receiver's mandate and powers over the appellants' property," said the notice of appeal.
In court filings, the companies say it is unlawful to allow the receiver to sell the Inkster property — which is owned by Nygard Properties Limited — in order to pay back unsecured creditors of a different company, Nygard International Partnership.
Court filings say this illustrates the relationships between Nygard's Canadian and U.S. entities, including intercompany loans as of Jan. 31, 2020, before nine Nygard companies went into receivership. (Manitoba Court of Queen's Bench)
"[The court] failed to appreciate that it did not have the jurisdiction to approve the sale in the circumstances, it failed to give sufficient weight to the interests of [Nygard Properties Limited] (which opposed having its real property sold, its ownership in that property destroyed, and the proceeds of that sale reduced to a fund)," said the appeal.
The Nygard Group said Nygard Properties Limited owned four properties, two of which were sold by the receiver to fund $19.6 million in repayments to White Oak. Since the debt to White Oak has been paid in full, Richter should not be allowed to sell the Inkster property, the Nygard Group says.
The companies said the court's actions raise issues of fundamental importance to bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings and to "the administration of justice."
"Does the court have the jurisdiction to extinguish an ownership right in a property in a vesting order, when the owner of the property is not indebted to the applicant creditor and objects to the sale?" the Nygard companies said in the appeal.
The Nygard companies are also asking the Court of Appeal to lift a stay of proceedings so that they can file a notice of intention to file a proposal under the Canadian Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
That means they want to submit a proposal to their creditors saying they intend to bring in a proposal trustee to help them restructure their companies finances instead of filing for bankruptcy.
A date has not been set to hear the appeal.
Peter Nygard, who in court filings says he is a consultant for the Nygard Group and owns one of the nine companies under receivership, is under investigation in Canada, the U.S. and the Bahamas for allegations of sex crimes. In February, the FBI raided Nygard's New York headquarters and two grand jury subpoenas have been issued for Nygard company records.
No charges have been laid in any of the investigations and it's not known if any of them are complete. Nygard has consistently denied he has sexually abused anyone, and maintains the allegations are fabrications as part of a conspiracy to malign his reputation.
Last February, 10 women filed a class-action lawsuit in a Southern District of New York court, claiming the fashion designer raped them at his properties in the U.S. and the Bahamas. That lawsuit now includes a total of 57 women.
In August, a judge put the civil case on hold, after the U.S. government was granted leave to intervene.
