Rethinking Na'aseh veNishma: First Connect, Then Teach – Yitro 5780
1 Comment on Rethinking Na'aseh veNishma: First Connect, Then Teach – Yitro 5780
Last week in this space, I spoke about my trip in January with Honeymoon Israel, a program which seeks to reach the least-connected Jews by providing a heavily-subsidized trip to Israel for couples in their first five years of marriage. The program is not about Israel, per se, but uses the visit to Israel primarily as a backdrop to discuss issues of Jewish peoplehood. I spoke also about a featured presenter on the trip, renowned Jewish educator Avraham Infeld, and discussed his framework of the "Five-Legged Table" of the supporting pillars of Jewish peoplehood. Those "legs" are:
What is at least initially missing from this list is an acknowledgment that , historically speaking, an essential statement of what it means to be a part of the Jewish people is the covenant of mitzvot, the opportunities for holiness that are the central framework of Jewish living and our relationship to God.
Framing that in the form of a question: Isn't our responsibility as Conservative Jews, as those committed to halakhah / Jewish law and to conserving Jewish tradition, to teach Judaism as a religious tradition? How can we define membership in the Jewish people without the classical religious content?
You might say that the "Mt. Sinai" leg of Infeld's table includes that. That is, when the Israelites stood at Sinai to receive the Torah, as we did symbolically today, and then they say, "Na'aseh venishma," we will do and we will seek to understand (Ex. 24:7), that they were effectively saying that membership in the Jewish people mandates performance of the mitzvot first. That is, ours is a religious tradition, based on fulfilling the specific behaviors commanded by God. And there are certainly Jewish communities in which everybody is expected to toe the line, halakhically. Through much of our history, we have had a bit of a judgy streak – in the shtetl, to live among the Jews meant to live as Jews do, and if you did not, you were a threat to the fabric of Jewish society. In the Old World, keeping the mitzvot was also about personal security – you were safe with the Jews if you kept our ways. God and the community would protect you.
Avraham Infeld bellowed at the Honeymoon Israel participants that Judaism is not a religion, but a people. A family, as he puts it. He spoke of his own father, who was a proud atheist, but a committed Jew nonetheless. Some members of our Jewish family put on tefillin every morning. Some refrain from eating pork, but see no problem with ordering steak in non-kosher establishments. Some proudly walk down Murray Ave. on Yom Kippur eating bacon double-cheeseburgers. But all are Jews.
While I place myself firmly in the tefillin-every-morning crowd (and I of course want you all to join me there, when you are ready, of course, with a special invitation to those of us who identify as women), I certainly want us all to continue to be included in, and proudly identify as Jews, regardless of our relationship to the mitzvot.
From the World Wide Wrap at JJEP, February 2020
But there are many Jews for whom the very idea of identification with the Jewish community is fraught. There are many of us who have been turned away by our community. There are many who have felt judged, who have been subjected to intolerance, who were made to feel not welcome for various reasons.
We have pushed people away. Yes, it's true that some wandered off by themselves, uninspired, uninterested. But many were turned off by the very people who wanted them to stay, by those of us who insisted on drawing hard lines about who is in and who is out, about what was acceptable behavior for a Jew and what was unacceptable.
Our role, as Conservative Jews in the vibrant center of the Jewish world is to build bridges. To build a bridge from peoplehood to religion and vice versa; to build a bridge from non-engagement to engagement; to connect Jews from different backgrounds and practices to one another. We inhabit a Jewish environment that can be secular and religious; where doubt can live alongside faith; where an academic Torah-as-human-literature can sidle up to Torah-as-history and not be rebuffed.
When we say, as Rosh Hashanah begins, "Shalom, shalom, larahoq velaqarov, amar Adonai. (Isaiah 57:19)," we mean it. "Greetings, greetings to those who are far and those who are near, says God." We have to be open to all who are close, and all those who place themselves beyond the outskirts of our community.
My work as a rabbi is to teach Judaism, to connect you, and everybody else, with the lessons of our text, our history, our culture, our rituals. And there are some who think that rabbis should teach to the top, to those who are committed, to the members of our community who are already steeped in Torah, who have already drunk the Talmudic Kool-Aid.
There is a time and a place for that. But whenever I can, I am also going to teach to the uninitiated, to invite in the ones who are she-einam yode'im lish'ol, who do not yet know how to ask. Because those are the people we need to reach.
So how do we do this?
It is easy for us to keep doing what we are doing, and not worry too much about the rest of the Jewish world, to assume that everybody knows what to do when they walk into a synagogue, to assume that our customs and wisdom, and indeed the supreme value of what we do are obvious to all. But they are not. I know this because I hear it all the time: it's not so easy to enter Beth Shalom if you do not know where the door is, figuratively speaking.
So how do we invite in Jewish and Jewish-adjacent folks while not scaring them off with our commitment to tradition? Although we know that our approach to tradition is decidedly modern, egalitarian, and inclusive, often those who are unaffiliated or who have been turned off by other Jews and Judaism in the past may not see that. How do we welcome them into our community in such a way that they stay?
And the answer is as follows: First connect, then teach.
And this is, you might say, orthogonal to the principle of "Na'aseh venishma," we will do first, and then we will understand, which has been so essential to Jewish life for our entire history. The traditional model of teaching Jewish religious practice is to teach the mitzvah, the behavior first, with the intent that the understanding will follow.
But for many today, there has to be a preliminary step, and that step is connection. That is the Mt. Sinai moment. That is where God speaks to each of the individuals standing at Mt. Sinai. Anokhi Adonai Elohekha. "I am the Lord your God." It's the first Commandment of the Top Ten. And the "your" is singular! The first commandment is about individual relationship.
It is only after this relationship is established that the doing and the understanding can begin.
(Yes, I know that this image from the Sistine Chapel is God and Adam. But it is also a perfect image for the Sinai moment.)
First connect, then teach. The connection must precede Na'aseh venishma. That's the element of Jewish peoplehood, of family, of Mt. Sinai.
Ladies and gentlemen, we are not going to compromise on the mitzvot part of the equation; we will uphold our standards of Jewish practice. What goes on at Beth Shalom will always be kosher, shomer Shabbat, and so forth.
But we also have to take the first commandment seriously, and read it as, "You're a part of my family." Whatever you may have experienced in the past, whether you were turned off by Jewish religious practice or felt judged for your choices or your parents denied you a Jewish education or whatever, you are welcome as a part of our family.
And, to go a step further, I want those who are Jewish-adjacent, i.e. not privileged to have been born Jewish or yet joined the Jewish people, but having the hutzpah to have married a Jew, to think of themselves as a part of our family as well.
A brief coda: I received an email this past week from one of the Honeymoon Israel participants that really made my week, a person who is married to somebody who is not Jewish, who had bad experiences with rabbis and Jewish organizations. And this person expressed gratitude for having been welcomed back, for feeling for the first time like one of the tribe. And I would now not be surprised to see this person cross my orbit again, this time open to learn, open to the idea of belonging, open to the idea of na'aseh venishma.
First connect, then teach. Remember that when you are in the building, and as you saunter out as an ambassador for the type of Judaism we live.

Honeymoon Israel and Jewish Peoplehood – Beshallah/Shabbat Shirah 5780
2 Comments on Honeymoon Israel and Jewish Peoplehood – Beshallah/Shabbat Shirah 5780
Many of you know that I travel to Israel frequently – I have a relationship with Israel that stretches back to the summer of 1987, when I spent eight weeks there at the Alexander Muss High School in Israel program. Since then, I have returned so many times that I have lost count – somewhere between 30 and 40 trips, and of course I lived there for a year and a half during the central portion of my journey from engineering to the rabbinate.
On this trip, I must say that I did something which I consider profoundly Zionist: I went skiing.
My son and I on one of the Hermon chairlifts
I have actually been thinking about doing this for years. Mt. Hermon, which hosts the only alpine environment in the Middle East, is located at the very top of the Golan Heights, and while most of the mountain is divided between Syria and Lebanon, a sliver is contained within the Israeli section of the Golan Heights. Israel conquered the Golan Heights during the Six-Day War in 1967, and officially annexed the area in 1981, and so far only the United States recognizes Israel's sovereignty there.
Not long after the Six-Day War, Israeli entrepreneurs beheld the huge amounts of snow that are present for a few weeks every winter, and saw an opportunity. On the day that my son and I were there, there were hundreds of people skiing, and many hundreds more who were sledding, riding the alpine slide, playing in the snow, and taking the gondola to the foggy summit. (The skiing, BTW, was awesome!)
Now as with anything in Israel, there are political ramifications to everything. The businesses on and surrounding Mt. Hermon provides jobs for the Druze residents of the city of Majdal Shams, whose officials publicly state their loyalty to Syria, although it is clear that many of them would much rather be in Israel than in Syria. Should there someday be a peace agreement with Syria, there is a significant chance that the Golan Heights, and the ski area and the Golan Heights Druze with it, will return to Syria, so at least officially they profess their loyalty to the Syrian government.
Meanwhile, Israelis flock to enjoy a little taste of the Alps in their backyard. At the end of a day of skiing, we were stuck in a VERY Zionist traffic jam as everybody headed down the mountain on the windy road toward Majdal Shams.
I also did something that was not quite as Zionist, in the sense that it was pro-Diaspora, and that was to be the rabbi on the second Pittsburgh cohort of Honeymoon Israel.
You might make the case that HMI is not particularly Zionist, because Israel is really only a backdrop, a set on which to give 20 young couples from Pittsburgh, all within five years of marriage and/or partnership, the opportunity to create a micro-community that will ideally thrive back in their hometown. Every HMI trip is city-based, and each busload of 20 couples from the same city is accompanied by an engagement professional from the local Federation (in our case, Karen Podorefsky from the Young Adult Division), an Israeli tour guide, and a rabbi. The goal, different from Birthright, for example, is not to connect American Jews with Israel, but to use Israel as a pretext to discuss issues surrounding Jewish peoplehood.
The January 2020 Pittsburgh cohort of Honeymoon Israel at Caesarea
It is actually a brilliant idea, one that emerged primarily from the Pew Research Center's study on American Jews published in 2013, to which you may have heard me refer from time to time. One of the most important pieces of info which emerged from this study is that there is a growing group of Jews who consider themselves proudly Jewish, but are utterly disconnected from Judaism as a religion. That may not bode well for synagogues, but the creators of HMI see this as an opportunity: how to help this segment of self-identified Jews, and in some cases their non-Jewish partners create community? Furthermore, given the fragmented nature of today's Jewish world, how do we continue to connect Jews to each other, whether through traditional Jewish activities or otherwise?
On a Tel Aviv graffiti and food tour
This aligns very much with what we are trying to do at Beth Shalom: the very point of Derekh is to provide portals, inviting doorways into Jewish life and community. A synagogue is first and foremost a beit keneset, a Jewish place of gathering, even over and above its role as a beit tefillah and a beit midrash (place of prayer and learning). As such, we need to be a center of Jewish life that invites everybody in, and this has been a focus of my rabbinate since I arrived here four-and-a-half years ago. And that is why, when the opportunity came up to be the rabbi on this trip, I jumped at the chance.
So we spent eight-and-a-half days on the ground in Israel, hitting some tourist highlights, of course, but also allowing plenty of free time for couples to enjoy themselves in cosmopolitan Israel (Since this trip is billed as a honeymoon, one goal is not to subject the participants to a jam-packed schedule of lectures and archaeological sites). There was also time built into the trip for discussions about engaging with Jewish life and connection with the rabbi: services on the two Friday evenings, havdalah, and a few discussions and spontaneous Q&A sessions and group processing.
One of the highlights of the trip was a lecture on Jewish peoplehood by Avraham Infeld, the renowned Jewish educator and former president of Hillel International. Mr. Infeld spoke, or, rather, bellowed, about Jewish peoplehood as seen through the lens of what he refers to as a "Five-Legged Table." The "legs" of the table are as follows:
Memory: The idea that what connects us to each other as Jews is a shared story. Not history, per se, although that is certainly part of the story. But it is our collective memory of being enslaved in Egypt, for example, that drives us not only to the seder table on Pesah, but also to remember our duty to work toward a world in which nobody is enslaved or oppressed. (You might consider how we rose this morning to chant responsively as we read from the Torah Shirat HaYam, the Song of the Sea, as a prime example of living Jewish memory. We continue to express gratitude for our redemption from Egypt every single day of the year by reciting Shirat HaYam as a part of every day's morning service.)
Family: We are united by the sense of the Jewish people as being one big, inclusive family. And that means not only people who have roots in the Eastern European shtetl, but also those whose grandparents were traders in the souq of Baghdad, those who were flown from Ethiopia to Israel in Operation Solomon in 1991, and even those who were not born Jewish, but, as Infeld put it, had the hutzpah to fall in love with a Jewish person. "You're a member of my family," said Avraham Infeld. "and you're stuck with me."
Mt. Sinai: We were together at Mt. Sinai, where we received the Torah as a people from God. Whether you follow the mitzvot / holy opportunities of the Torah to the tiniest detail or you reject them, whether you understand God in traditional terms or reject the idea entirely, the Mt. Sinai moment is still ours, the nexus of Jewish memory, and an essential piece of what it means to be Jewish.
Israel: When we recited the Shaharit / the morning service earlier, we recited "Mashiv haruah umorid hagashem" – God makes the wind blow and the rain fall. We prayed for rain, but not here: Jews all over the world pray for rain in the Land of Israel. (On that front, I have good news: while we were there, it rained almost every day!) Our prayer, our rituals, our texts, and our memory continue to connect us back to that land. Meanwhile, the contemporary State of Israel is an undeniably essential feature of today's Jewish landscape. While not perfect by anybody's standard, Israel is here to stay and wherever you are in the Jewish world, you cannot discount the outsize role that Israel, the land and the state, plays in world Jewry.
Hebrew: Our people has a language, and that language is Hebrew. Yiddish, Ladino, Judeo-Persian, Judeo-Pittsburghese and so forth are all Jewish languages, but all of them draw on the one language that we all share, the language of the Torah. There is a reason that Eliezer Ben-Yehudah revived Hebrew to make it the spoken language of Israel, and that is that it unites us all as Jews.
These are the things that we share, the essential building blocks of Jewish peoplehood. Infeld believes that if you relate to at least three of them, you feel connected to the Jewish people; as you may know, a table with three legs can stand, but one with two cannot.
Honeymoon Israel's goal is to connect its participants with at least a few of these legs, and to build on the stability of that table to welcome more Jews into, and perhaps indeed back into the Jewish community. Am Yisrael hai: the people of Israel lives. And I am certain that it is doing that; at this point over 2000 couples have participated in the program; HMI's statistics report that 85% of participants feel a "new sense of belonging to the Jewish community and connection to Israel" following the trip.
Tzfat
So you might be wondering now, "OK, Rabbi, so this all sounds great, except for one thing: you're a rabbi, and your job is to teach Judaism according to the traditional view of Judaism as a religion, right?"
Well, yes and no. Religion and peoplehood cannot easily be separated. And I am going to speak about that next week, when we act on the memory of the Sinai moment in Parashat Yitro. So I am concluding today with a sort of cliffhanger: Come back next week to find out why now is the time to reach out to the least connected Jews, and how we should do that.

Fancy's on 5th oyster and burger bar coming to Avondale

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- One of the owners of Avondale's Melt restaurant has announced plans to open an oyster and burger bar across the street by next summer.
Fancy's on 5th will be located at the corner of 41st Street and Fifth Avenue South, next to Parkside Cafe and across from the entrance to Avondale Park.
"It's going to be a burger bar and oyster dive," Paget Pizitz, co-owner of Melt and one of the partners in Fancy's on 5th, told AL.com today. "It's just going to be super, super casual. The only thing fancy about it will be the name."
Pizitz and Harriet Reis, who started with a food truck in February 2013, opened their Melt restaurant this past June in the former Stephen's Garage space at the corner of 41st Street and Fourth Avenue South.
This brick-and-glass building at the corner of 41st Street and Fifth Avenue South in Birmingham's Avondale neighborhood is the future home of Fancy's on 5th oyster and burger bar. (Bob Carlton/bcarlton@al.com)
When the brick-and-glass building across the street became available, Pizitz said, she could not pass up the opportunity.
"People think we must be crazy for opening a second restaurant so soon," she said. "But my thought was it was the perfect space for a restaurant, and somebody was going to open there eventually. It might as well be us."
Pizitz declined to say who her partners will be in the new restaurant.
Scott Phillips of Boomhover Phillips Architecture is the architect on the project, and the plans calls for a long marble oyster bar in the middle of the restaurant and courtyard seating outside, Pizitz said. Fancy's on 5th will occupy the bottom floor of the two-story building.
Pizitz, who previously lived in Washington, D.C., said she hopes Fancy's on 5th will become an Avondale neighborhood hangout much like the Pearl Oyster Dive Palace has become in D.C.'s Logan Circle neighborhood.
"I watched Pearl's grow and expand, and it's always been a dream of mine to see a low-key, casual oyster bar in Birmingham," she said. "Birmingham offers lots of options for oysters at the fine-dining level but not at the casual level.
This is the logo for Fancy's on 5th oyster and burger bar, which is expected to open by summer 2015 in Birmingham's Avondale neighborhood. (Graphic courtesy of Paget Pizitz)
"It will be a simple menu, with lots of burgers and oysters and a full-service bar. Right now, we are thinking of opening for dinner only Tuesday through Sunday and we will be doing brunch on Sunday. I envision the bar will be a little more late-night.
"I would like Fancy's on 5th to appeal to all walks of life," she added. "With the growth in Avondale, there is no better place for it. It's not only family-oriented, there is great night life and it is a great walking neighborhood."
The name is a reference not only to the restaurant's location on Fifth Avenue South but also to "Miss Fancy," the elephant that was the star attraction at the old Avondale Park location of the Birmingham Zoo in early 1900s.
Pizitz hopes Fancy's on 5th will be open by late spring or early summer.
"We are in no rush to open," she said. "We want to do things right. I still have this restaurant (Melt). I still have a truck. So we are taking our time."

Q: c language Segmentation fault This is the code.
i don't know how to fix that.
this program is about I/O file and convert each line form hex to bin.
i got the right outcome for the first, then segmentation fault.
can anyone point out what's wrong of that
thank you
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

FILE *file, *newFile;

char output[13];

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
    file = fopen(argv[1],"r");
    newFile = fopen("output.txt","wa+");
    char binary1[50];
    char first[2], secondDigit[2], third[2], last[2];
    char scr[5];
    char binary[16][5] = {"0000", "0001", "0010", "0011", "0100", "0101","0110", "0111", "1000", "1001", "1010", "1011", "1100", "1101", "1110","1111"};
    char digits [] = "0123456789abcdef";

    while(fgets(scr, 5, file) && scr[5] != EOF) {
        char res[100];
        int p = 0;
        int value =0;
        while(scr[p])
        {
            const char * v = strchr(digits, tolower(scr[p]));

            if(v[0]>96){
                value=v[0]-87;
            }
            else{
                value=v[0]-48;
            }
            if (v){
                strcat(res, binary[value]);
            }
            p++;
        }
        printf("Res:%s\n", res);
    }
    fclose(newFile);
    fclose(file);
    return 0;
}

A: The problem is when you get to the end of a line scr[p] is \n and the behaviour of char *strchr(const char *s, int c); is that it returns NULL when it doesn't find any occurrence of c in the string s.
The segmentation fault is because due to v being NULL when you try to dereference it.
You should check when v is NULL and handle it accordingly.
This is also a problem when do file = fopen(argv[1],"r"); if the file doesn't exist then the variable file will be NULL causing a segmentation fault when you call fgets(scr, 5, file).

A: the posted code contains several problems:

*

*does not check for error conditions

*does not ever write to 'output.txt'

*contains lots of unused variables

*accesses beyond 'argv[0]' without first checking 'argc' to assure the parameter was actually typed by the user.

*does not remove possible newline sequence from end of input buffer

*would be a lot more readable if followed the axiom: only one statement per line and (at most) one variable declaration per statement.

*would be a lot more readable if used ascii char literals rather than numbers

*would be a lot more readable if code blocks (for, if, else, while, do...while, switch, case default) were separated via a single blank line.

*does not check that the 'current' character read is in the range 0...9 and a...f inclusive

*does not allow for possible 'res[]' buffer overflow.

The Richmond Conservation Commission (RCC) is planning interpretive trails for both the Crawley Preserve and Beaver River Park. This effort will involve installing numbered wooden marker posts along the existing trails where key points of interest are located. The RCC is preparing an interpretive pamphlet that informs hikers of interesting facts at each of the stations.
For the Crawley Preserve, the RCC is working with the Richmond Land Trust to complete the pamphlet and install the marker posts. The pamphlets will be available at the existing kiosk at the entrance. For the Beaver River Park, the RCC will need help to construct a kiosk for placing pamphlets and other information, and install marker posts along the grassland and river trails. Please contact Jim Turek at 401-539-9004 to get involved.


Also available are selected newly remodeled European style rooms with Hardwood floors and flat screen TVs.

Anthony Levantino is a former abortionist who once performed late second trimester abortions.
LifesiteNews published a blogpost giving the transcript of parts of Mr. Levantino description of how he performed the Dilation and Evacuation procedure.
People say that if abortion is illegal women will die.
It is true that some women may attempt illegal abortion. But it is within their power to not do what they do, or stop what they're doing, or if they're dumb enough to go through with it-- go to the hospital and get treated.
However, a fetus does not have any power to stop what's being done to him.
Nobody wants women to die of illegal abortion. Everybody is against the death of the woman in an illegal abortion.
The pro-choice activist, however, advocates for this. She says: The fetus has to suffer and die in the name of female empowerment? Well too damned bad. Women's rights first!
That is the difference pro-choice and pro-life.

Ever since The Last Jedi had its grand preview unveiling at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year, Mark Hamill has made it clear—very clear—that director Rian Johnson established a very different journey for Luke Skywalker than one Hamill had imagined, or even agreed with at first. But now, days before it hits theaters, Johnson has added his own insight.
Speaking to StarWars.com in a wide-ranging interview, Johnson briefly touched on the immense weight of having to properly re-introduce Luke Skywalker to the galaxy far, far away after he made his return at the end of The Force Awakens. He took into account his own relationship to Luke as a character, but also the expectations of 30 years worth of fandom weighing on him, as well. That, and the fact that as an audience our view of Luke in The Last Jedi is filtered very specifically through someone else's journey: Rey's path to learning the ways of the Force.
Well, I can't say too much because discovering that is part of the adventure of the movie and part of the journey in the movie. But, you know, so much of what his character was in this movie and what defined it was a combination of, like I said before, feeling like it was led down a certain path by the big choice he had made to be in exile. And then beyond that, Luke's story in this movie, to a certain degree, serves Rey's story. So that was the other element of this. Wherever he was going to be at and whatever he was going to go through, I couldn't just think of it in a vacuum. This trilogy is not just Luke's story. At the end of the day, it's Rey who's carrying us through this whole thing. Obviously, Rey and Finn, those are like the two big characters, but in this section of the story, meaning the island stuff, it's Rey. So I had to think about him in tandem with Rey. And that was great, also, because that kind of meant thinking about him in tandem with myself, and as fans, our relationship to Luke as a legend and as this hero that we grew up with, who we now haven't seen for some number of years and we're approaching with expectations of what he's going to be.
I mean, [working with Mark] was phenomenal. It was a really intense working experience, just because during prep and during rehearsals we had a lot of conversations like this. A lot of conversations about the character. And we collaborated and we argued and we did everything you can imagine. Through that, first of all, we formed a really good connection, and second, we both, by necessity, had to really understand where he was and where he was coming from.
Mark was so wonderful to work with on set. He was so trusting. Especially with this character meaning what it does to Mark, and his life, the fact that he could step back into that character's shoes and trust some young schnook [Laughs] with the direction of that character, and put himself into my hands. I still can't believe he had the graciousness and the trust to do that. But it was a wonderful experience.
Even if Hamill caused a few alarm bells to go off among Star Wars fans earlier this year with his comments, it's nice to see it didn't negatively impact on his relationship with Johnson. Now we've got just a few more days until we see for ourselves what caused Hamill's initial consternation in the first place, when The Last Jedi finally hits theaters December 15.

Press The Big Red Button —
This system from Garmin can land a private plane when your pilot can't
Unfortunately it's only available for two GA aircraft, and neither is exactly cheap.
Eric Tegler - Nov 13, 2019 1:53 pm UTC
Garmin Avionics has developed an Autoland system to get a General Aviation plane back on the ground if its pilot becomes incapacitated.
Garmin/Piper
It's only currently available in the Piper M600 (previous photo) and the Cirrus Vision, pictured here.
Garmin/Cirrus
If you're in a Piper M600, you'll need this button.
For reference, this is a Piper M600.
Don't touch anything.
The system keeps track of any suitable runways you might have flown past on your way.
If you've been around long enough, you've probably heard stories of passengers who successfully landed small planes after their pilots fell ill or died. It happened in Australia just a few months ago (Aug. 31) when a student on his first flight lesson in Perth was forced to land a Cessna 150 after his instructor lost consciousness.
The student had never landed anything previously, but it worked. However, it usually doesn't, and the consequences are disastrous. That's why electronics/avionics maker Garmin is launching Autoland, an emergency autopilot system that can autonomously land a private aircraft and bring it to a stop on the runway.
Push the red button
Commercial airliners have long had auto-landing systems as well as the ability to fall back on co-pilots if the pilot-in-command becomes incapacitated. Until recently, single-pilot certified general aviation (GA) airplanes haven't had autonomous landing capability. To be clear, they still don't. Garmin's Autoland system is not yet FAA certified, though the company expects certification "soon."
Autoland is a new feature of Garmin's G3000 integrated flight deck, which already comes with 3-axis autopilot, auto-throttles, and automatic stability and descent capabilities. It will debut on two single-engine airplanes: Piper's M600 SLS turboprop and Cirrus Aircraft's Vision Jet. Priced at $2.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively, they admittedly stretch the definition of general aviation aircraft, but each is largely owner-flown.
If you're aboard one, and the owner-pilot succumbs to something, here's what happens:
Upon recognizing the pilot is in distress, a passenger can press the Autoland button. In the Cirrus it's a big red button on the ceiling between the pilot's seats and at top-center on the M600 instrument panel. The G3000 also monitors pilot activity/inactivity and cabin pressure and can automatically engage Autoland or Emergency Descent Mode if no activity is detected. (Recall the Payne Stewart hypoxia-induced Lear 35 crash.)
The system audibly announces, "Emergency Autoland Activating." The airplane then declares an emergency with air traffic control via automated voice radio messages and sets the transponder to squawk 7700 (mayday signal).
Simultaneously, Autoland analyzes terrain, weather, and nearby airports to determine the optimal airport for landing given the specific aircraft's available fuel and performance characteristics, winds, runway length, and a host of other factors. As the airplane descends, Autoland controls speed, altitude and flight path and manages throttles, flaps, cabin pressurization, and more.
Air traffic controllers are informed of the system's landing destination choice and clear traffic as they would with a human-flown emergency. On final approach, Autoland lowers the gear, flares the airplane, and brings it to a stop with automatic braking. Audible instructions for exiting the airplane then play.
Throughout the evolution, passengers can be in voice contact with ATC, getting reassurance. And if the pilot comes to, they can override Autoland, turning everything off with another press of that button.
Easy to imagine, hard to do
"A lot of this was us trying to figure out what would make sense in this class of aircraft," says Garmin's aviation systems team leader, Ben Patel.
Work on the system accelerated four years ago as technology and the business case came together. Garmin's own development of its autopilot, auto-throttles, and other automated systems formed the building blocks for Autoland.
"These systems that we're using to enable it are things that have been in the field for years," Autoland Program Manager Bailey Scheel adds.
Autoland not only employs a sophisticated autopilot, it leverages special routing and destination-selection algorithms. The system is aware of all airports bypassed on a flight as well as those immediately proximate. It actually scores airports for optimal safe landing based on dynamic physical, environmental, and weighted OEM performance parameters.
Senior Software Engineer Eric Tran adds that Autoland routing borrows from Garmin's automotive navigation side. "It can choose the best, safest airport for autonomous landing faster than any human pilot."
Garmin says that about 70% of airports in the US are suitable Autoland destinations. They simply need a GPS approach with vertical guidance.
On the other hand, Autoland requires an airplane with the latest version of the G3000 flight deck, with auto-throttles, auto-braking, radar altimeter, and more. The population of GA aircraft eligible is very small.
As of this writing, Piper has built about 10 Autoland-enabled M600 SLS. Cirrus has one Autoland-equipped Vision Jet. Fitting the system to your private piston-single or twin could be possible with considerable work but also prohibitively expensive. (Garmin declines to price Autoland.)
That's why Autoland will roll out exclusively on new aircraft for some time to come. Eventually Garmin will broaden the market. In the process, lives will be saved.

Other than transportation issues on the first day of the festival, Ultra Music Festival had a seemingly successful debut at its new Miami Location in Virginia Key. The festival reported that they saw over 170,000 attendees at the festival this year, up 5,000 attendees from 2018. Despite doors being closed less than 72 hours ago, Ultra has already announced its 2020 dates, although they have yet to confirm the location. With that, next year's iteration of Ultra is set to take place on March 27, 28, and 29, 2020.
Former Miami Police Chief and now Head of Security for the music festival, Ray Martinez commented on the festival's intention to return to its Virginia Key location next year.
"It was a great event in a beautiful location, and we look forward to being here next year and producing — and even improving on — our event and our festival," Martinez said.
Ultra's marketing and new media manager posted on Twitter following the festival, where he pointed out that details surrounding the Virginia Key location were pulled together by the festival organizers with just four months of planning time. With a year to plan, 2020 could be Ultra's biggest year yet.
Ultra Music Festival stands to mark the officiation of festival season, welcoming thousands of fervent attendees to witness a culmination of their favorite artists and new music alike. Known for bringing out the largest and most popular artists in the scene, the 2019 edition has slated the legendary Armin Van Buuren to close out the Ultra Live Arena. Due to the unfortunate circumstances that left Eric Prydz to cancel all Miami shows, Armin has promised a special A State of Trance extended set to complete the weekend, concluding Ultra Music Festival in unforgettable fashion.
Those who are unable to attend the festival can catch Armin's closing performance on the Ultra livestream below.
Ultra Music Festival has grown to be one of the largest electronic music festivals in the world, making the city of Miami a temporary home for the thousands of individuals that come flocking into the city. After the first day of the festival at their brand new location on the Virginia Key, festival-goers weren't the only ones that had a lot to say about their experience thus far. Upon the festival's main stage was KFC's mascot, Colonel Sanders, who held a five-minute slot amidst the afternoon. Though the festival was characterized by a number of memorable artist sets, the promotional tactic was criticized by a number of artists, including Louis The Child and Alison Wonderland.
Speaking on the issue, the artists note that Ultra holds one of the most impactful platforms in the electronic music scene, and their stages should support hardworking, talented artists that work for the opportunity to perform at these events. Between the chaotic transportation issues at the end of night one that left thousands of attendees to make the hour long trek to the mainland, it looks like Ultra is just getting started.


About the Author Allen Bethea has written articles on programming, web design,operating systems and computer hardware since 2002. Not the answer you're looking for? An entire directory structure can be packed into a zip archive with a single command. Try with: zip -9 -y -r -q file. You can contact him at surendra linuxnix dot com. If a directory becomes empty after removal of the files, the directory is also removed. What if you want to send the unziped files into a specific or different directory — you can learn this in next section.
In Linux, the 7zip extracting or creating utility is provided by p7zip, so you're going to need that. Zip files are important for computers, in that they are one of the primary file types for archiving and compressing multiple files into one directory. It even works as a filter. When he is otherwise free, he likes to watch movies and shop for the coolest gadgets. So when most beginners got a 7z archive, they may be thinking about how to extract 7z in Linux properly.
In my case ':' in file names were stripped out. The greatest benefit is, perhaps, that it does so while using a tar-like syntax. This will help you learn a practical way of encrypting and decrypting contents of zip archive files. I often find myself trying to zip the modified files in my work directory -- either to copy all the modified files to another sandbox work directory or to preserve them for a short while because I want to undo some of the changes. Suppose we have following files in my current directory are listed below: hello1. The program is useful for packaging a set of files for distribution; for archiving files; and for saving disk space by temporarily compressing unused files or directories. Or simply press the Ctrl+N.
How do I zip/unzip on the unix command line?
If you try to extract it, it will ask you to enter the password: As you can see, no one in normal ways can extract this file without the password. It has been tested on ubuntu and Vista. He likes to procrastinate when he is supposed to be busy and productive. About compressed files in Unix Compressed files take up less disk space than normal files, but you cannot read them in the usual way; you must first expand, or decompress, the files. The encryption algorithm used by zip command is. If you can answer that question, I recommend you put that context in your answer, otherwise I think it is a bad answer to an old question that has a good answer already. Click the Other Options link and enter your preferred password.
Would you like to answer one of these instead? Before you do that, it's a good idea to test the zip file works properly. So you just pass in any archive to it and it figures out what needs to be done with it. I am using Ubuntu in this tutorial but you can use any distribution that uses now called Files file manager. Let's say I create a file called modified-files. Eventually Microsoft added long-filenames that could have zero, or more dots. I would highly recommend it based on the windows version.
Now, if you want to add multiple to that zip archive, this should be like below. But only when the folder ccat-1. Note that the produced zip will contain the directory structure as well as the files. You may also want to extract, create or edit 7zip archives, here's. You are asked to enter a and to repeat the password.
You might wish to zip up the photos to photos. It opens successfully with WinRar or Winzip, but those of my users who are using the standard Windows zip file handling experience failure when trying to unzip it. A practical example could be like below. If you want to use the same compression algorithm with your tarballs, use the -J switch with tar: tar cJf archive. Further reading about 7zip at and that's the official website. If you don't have enough disk space to decompress the file, or you only want to see the contents once and have the file stay compressed, you can send the contents of the file to the standard output usually your terminal , by using the zcat command.
On Linux, there are several ways to encrypt and password protect a zip file. It is a unique answer to the question. Zip also compresses only 32kb at a time so that you can extract a single file without having to decompress everything that came before it; tar compresses the whole thing at once giving better compression. You should be asked to enter a keyword. This will create the archive filename. For example, to create a password protected compressed file called Solvetic.

Few years ago I heard that in Canada 1 out of 2 people suffers from depression. I was a little puzzled by such statistics, considering Canada a country that offers many options and opportunities. Looking out for a definition, I found that depression is considered a mood disorder that causes a persistent feeling of sadness and loss of interest.
Hmm, sadness could be the opposite of happiness?! If you're sad, you have a tendency to loose interest in anything else than what you'd expect to make you happy.
I'm a strong believer that happiness comes from within, but I was not like this for a long part of my life. The first glimpse into "Who's responsible for your happiness" I've got from the discussion I had with a man who had a very jealous wife. She could make someone's life a nightmare, but not his! 🙂 They were married for many years, so I got curious how he could be such a joyful man in these conditions. "Your happiness is YOUR responsibility!", he told me simply. I was recently divorced, after 13 years of a marriage that didn't feel right (to me). I felt unhappy most of the time, even I was doing what the Romanian culture told me to do: get married, have children and stay in a marriage to raise the children with both parents.
The words of the wise man stayed with me, and I start to understand them better when I've got into coaching (2006), focusing also on my own self-growth.
Expecting your happiness to come from someone or something else (external to you), will always be a source of unhappiness. Why? Because it's the human nature: as soon as we have/obtain something … we want something else (more, less or different)… and we become unhappy again, chasing a new dream… and so on. Or, we're unhappy if we don't get what we want, even sad and loose interest in what else we can do. Given such conditions, no wonder why depression founds an attractive ground to "flourish" in today's society. Isn't this the case of many people you know? Or do you recognise yourself in these "scenarios"?
On another note, happiness it's a feeling that we experience from time to time (even just for a few seconds), but we usually associate it with the external stimulus or situation that is present when we get that feeling.
Wouldn't then make more sense to find happiness by looking inside first?
That's for sure a perspective that anyone has access to, and in this way our happiness would no longer be dependent of the external world: people that cross our path (or not), things we have (or don't have), etc.
A while ago I wrote a blog post based on a coaching session I did. It ended up being obvious for the client that the feeling of happiness resides inside… she just needed to get in touch with it whenever she wanted! But putting her attention on the external world she had to deal with daily, and not getting the expected results, she believed her unhappiness came from there.
Do you want another example? Why same song could be loved by some people, while others are left indifferent or hate it? Because that specific song resonates differently with different people, according to who they really are or what they need in that moment in order to move forward (even with a small step).
Some people categorise the emotions as bad or good, but there is a whole scale of emotions. When we move in that scale toward the right it is a progress, an evolution, even if it might not look like this with by the good-bad approach. Going from Sadness to Suspicious, for example, it is an improvement that allows further improvement. Disregarding or considering Suspicious as bad can only send the person back to Sadness, and get stuck there (if not getting worse in time). From Suspicious, by changing again the mood or perspective, we can reach the next level to the right, and again… until we reach what level we want. The Sedona Method seems an easy method to use in this regard.
In my daily meditation practice I noticed waves of light and positive emotions showing up, making me feel good for the rest of the day. It gives me also the calmness required to go through tough times. It's another way to access happiness from inside… when you connect with who you really are, a "piece" of that vastness sea of Consciousness that connects us all. And when we feel connected, Sadness cannot stay with us for a long time.
In my opinion, people who feel depressed are temporarily disconnected from who they really are, and don't know how to reconnect with their inner Source. Our role, if we are around them, is not to disregard their feelings or cheer them up (which could be a too big jump on the emotions scale, leading to the opposite effect). The best way to help could be holding the belief that this is just a phase that will pass, if we allow it to be expressed. It might lead to other emotions, but as long as they are emotions situated in the chart on the next column on the right, the depressed person is moving toward a better frame of mind… toward getting better! If some medication for depression blocks such expression, it might even prevent a positive evolution instead of allowing it to happen.
On a final note: as human beings we are permanently evolving (it's part of our journey in this life). Think about how different are you today comparing with you as a teenager! If we don't constantly upgrade our perception about the world, we might get stuck in our familiar thoughts, and disconnect with what's really out there.
I consider being curious the best way to get unstuck, learn something new about the world and ourselves. And when we are in such a frame of mind, depression has no place to get in or stay.

Expanding mobile telephony in India has prompted interest in the potential of mobile-telephone health (mHealth) in linking health workers in rural areas with specialist medical advice and other professional services. In 2012, a toll-free helpline offering specialist medical advice to community-based health workers throughout Maharashtra was launched. Calls are handled via a 24 h centre in Pune, staffed by health advisory officers and medical specialists. Health advisory officers handle general queries, which include medical advice via validated algorithms; blood on-call services; grievance issues; and mental health support – the latter calls are transferred to a qualified counsellor. Calls requiring more specialist advice are transferred to the appropriate medical specialist. This paper describes the experience of the first 4 years of this helpline, in terms of the services used, callers, nature of calls, types of queries serviced and lessons learnt. In the first 4 years of the helpline, 669 265 calls were serviced. Of these calls, 453 373 (67.74%) needed medical advice and were handled by health advisory officers. Specialist services were required to address 199 226 (29.77%) calls. Blood-bank-related services accounted for 7919 (1.18%) calls, while 2462 (0.37%) were grievance calls. Counselling for mental health issues accounted for 6285 (0.94%) calls. The large-scale mHealth professional support provided by this helpline in Maharashtra has reached many health workers serving rural communities. Future work is required to explore ways to expand the reach of the helpline further and to measure its effectiveness in improving health outcomes.

De pies a cabeza es una serie de televisión colombiana creada por Juana Uribe para Cenpro TV y emitida entre 1993 y 1997 por el Canal A. Fue dirigida por Andrés Marroquín y protagonizada por Felipe Noguera, Marcela Carvajal, Silvia de Dios, Manuel José Chaves y Carolina Acevedo.

Premisa
Tras los logros de la Selección Colombia en la clasificación a la Copa Mundial de Fútbol de 1994 de Estados Unidos, Juana Uribe concibe la historia de un jugador de fútbol que vuelve a su barrio de origen y se convierte en el entrenador de un grupo de niños interesados en el fútbol. A partir de allí, y con la influencia de series de televisión como Los Simpson y Los años maravillosos, se empiezan a crear argumentos y libretos que muestran los conflictos intertos de los distintos personajes, según Andrés Salgado, uno de sus libretistas.

Historia
"El Gato" Aguirre (Felipe Noguera) es un exjugador profesional que llega a un barrio bogotano (grabado en el barrio Pablo VI de Bogotá) como entrenador del equipo de fútbol Los Gatos. El equipo es conformado por niños muy talentosos, entre ellos el protagonista Pablo Rey (Manuel José Chaves). "El Gato" se enamora de la madre de Pablo, Lucía (inicialmente Marcela Carvajal, reemplazada por Silvia de Dios), quien vive sola con su hijo, pues su esposo ha sido secuestrado. Al equipo de fútbol se unen dos talentosas jugadoras, Liza (Andrea Gómez) y Violeta (Carolina Acevedo) de quien Pablo se enamora. La serie relata las hazañas y experiencias de los integrantes del equipo y sus familias en el día a día de su niñez y adolescencia.

For some time now autonomous ships have been championed as the future of container shipping. So how close are we and what effects may it have on insurance claims? Whether part autonomous with crew members performing key duties on board still, or fully autonomous with land-based captains, changes are happening as you read this says Reason Global's Malcolm Pearson.
New ship designs are already being created, based on the need for no crew quarters or traditional bridge, meaning designers are looking at how to increase container capacity with the new-found space. Remote sailors based on shore will potentially operate numerous vessels in a work structure much more associated with air traffic controllers. Shifts will be shorter, employees will go home at night and see their families, and this in itself could encourage more women in to the industry, surely a good thing. It is estimated in current shipping statistics that 75% of accidents at sea are caused by human error and so the potential effect on insurance claims and delays could be significant.
However, shipping has always seen problems with piracy and a new type of sailor will also mean a new type of pirate. Now more likely to be sitting in pyjamas with a laptop than brandishing a machine gun, the industry is already seeing a new wave of technology pirates attempting to take control of ships systems and secure ransoms as a result. If you think all Somalian pirates are wielding AK-47's then think again; some are more likely already focused on spoofing emails than shooting sailors.
Cyber attacks will increase and will become a commercial and insurance issue. In terms of vessels being judged as seaworthy with no crew, relevant legal systems will have to learn and adapt.
The modern bridge on a ship already contains numerous cyber gateways and current pirate tactics have already seen computer systems taken over and held hostage to ransomware, with payments demanded to release control back. And these systems' fallibilities are being used to take control and sail ships to grounding or collision to then allow traditional boarding and ransacking.
Cases already seen include IRSL 2011 where pirates damaged all data on cargo and communications networks. In February 2017, pirates took control of IT systems on a container ship for 10 hours. IT support managed to wrestle control back without any major damage done. However, that is not always the case.
Maersk underwent a high-profile attack and were generally commended for making the matter public and embracing the issue, using social media for effective and honest communication. However, this did not stop an estimated $300m of lost revenue and the need for 45,000 new computers and servers across the business.
From an insurance perspective, these scenarios all have different and complex elements and the industry is examining how to best react and plan. The Institute Cyber Attack Exclusion Clause – CL.380 – is incorporated into many marine insurance contracts and is currently accepted as the market clause for this issue. Drafted in 2003, long before many of leading technologies were so widely adapted, it now potentially needs revisiting in the changing world we are seeing.
In short, the effects can be devastating and widespread but that is not stopping the shipping lines pushing for autonomous ships and those massively reduced error counts. One thing is for sure and that is that the pace of change in international shipping shows no signs of slowing and everyone associated will need to adapt with it.

H-E-B diving into online shipping business
Business // Local Business
Grocer widens online shipping business
Richard Webner, Staff Writer
Whataburger's Whatafries and other Texas brands that previously were available only in H-E-B stores are among the 50,000 products available for shipment.

H-E-B drastically grew its e-commerce operation Thursday, making 50,000 products available on its website for shipment in Texas and to 46 other states and U.S. military bases worldwide.
The expansion marks H-E-B's entry into the online shipping business. Previously, customers in most areas only could buy items online for pickup at stores participating in an online ordering program. They also offered home delivery from some of its pharmacies.
The products available for shipment include H-E-B brands such as its chips, salsas and sodas, as well as items ranging from flat-screen televisions to the Monopoly board game and Snuggle laundry detergent. Customers can order Texas brands that were available before only in H-E-B stores, such as Whataburger's line of products and Franklin Barbecue Sauce. Perishable foods aren't available.
"We've been receiving calls for decades from Texans around the country who miss their favorite foods from home," Martin Otto, the company's chief financial officer and chief merchant, said in a news release. "Now, even if you move outside of Texas, you'll still have a 'neighborhood H-E-B' just a click away."
H-E-B fans greeted the news on Facebook after the company posted a photograph of members of the military opening a package of its products. The company made shipments to military bases in honor of Veterans Day.
"This is great news. We have a group of misplaced Texans here in Georgia and we always send shopping lists with whoever visits Texas," said Facebook user Meriah Wail. "On the upside we are just two months from moving back to Texas and I'm moving into HEB when I get there."
The service isn't available in California, Alaska and Hawaii — except for military bases in those states — according to the release. Alaska and Hawaii aren't part of the service because they're outside the continental U.S., while California has "really specific" laws regarding the shipment of food, H-E-B spokeswoman Dya Campos said.
Customer orders are delivered using standard shipping, with fees averaging $5 to $10 per order, according to the news release. Prices are the same as in H-E-B stores, the release says, but minimum orders are required for some products.
H-E-B is no stranger to e-commerce. Last year, it began delivering groceries in the Austin and Houston areas through Instacart, a website and mobile app. It retooled its website for online shopping this spring and created its own app, which allows customers to make shopping lists and locate items in stores.
The company offers deliveries from in-store pharmacies at about 100 of its stores in San Antonio and South Texas, and allows customers to order deli items and custom-designed floral arrangements online for pickup at some stores.
Amazon and Walmart — the other giants in the San Antonio retail scene — also expanded their local e-commerce operations lately. Walmart announced last month it will allow customers to place orders online and have them delivered to their cars outside five local stores, four of which are across from competing H-E-B stores.
Amazon is bringing its Prime Now one-hour delivery service to San Antonio, and it's building a 193,265-square-foot facility on the West Side to cut delivery times. It's working on a fulfillment center in San Marcos. It already has a fulfillment center in Schertz.
David Livingston, a supermarket analyst with DJL Research, said many regional grocery chains offer something similar to the expanded online service H-E-B announced Thursday.
"It's not a profit center" for them, he said. "It's something for the convenience of the customer."

Diagnosing air conditioning repair problems can be very complicated.
Automotive air conditioning problems could involve the compressor, the condenser, lines or the evaporator. It's always best to consult with a certified auto repair technician who has the proper section 609 license, like Maclane, for car air conditioner problems.
When AC problems arise for our customers, we don't just function test the ac unit and put Freon in the vehicle. We assess the functionality of each air conditioning component to find the root cause and, ultimately, prolong the life and health of the system. AC system refrigerant level can be considered a maintenance item if once a year it requires a "top up". Any more than that the issues are worth investigating. We advise our customers against generic refrigerant (like after-market cans) and self-service. We make sure that our customers are aware of the importance of their air conditioning system year round, as a healthy A/C system is necessary for dehumidifying and defrosting the vehicle in the winter.


Blog What Is The Proper Role Of A Inland Empire Small Business Owner?
Firstly, I gotta say — we're past the midpoint of October, and, well … the calendar is speeding up.
Sure, looking back from an historical perspective might still enable us to find some deductions. But by the time the end of the year hits, it'll be too late to fix problems like missing the new 20% QBI reduction, lost MERP deductions, lack of basis for losses, and the wrong entity designation.
If you do wait until December … well, technically it's not too late. But for practical purposes, by that point in the year, it's too late to establish a new entity type. It's probably too late to fund a C-Corp. Most likely it's too late to decide what type of pension plan you have and get it put in place by year-end.
We get real busy in December with year-end concerns, so I want to put a burr in your saddle now to make sure that we get ahead of the game with you and your business. Let's take full advantage, together, of the possibilities available in this year's tax code.
Now, leaving aside these tax issues for a moment, I'd like to have the chance to lift your vision about how you conceive of YOUR primary task as a business owner. This is something I've picked up along the way which has definitely benefited the growth of our firm. And it's worth thinking through.
You see, you need to see yourself as having the resources that are able to take care of the "details", while you focus on marketing and positioning your business. This has to be your primary task as a business OWNER (not to be just a "do-er").
I'm curious. What drove you to start your own small business? A passion for the product or service you provide? A desire to be your own boss? A chance to dust off some ambition? A drive to stick it to "the man"?
Did you become a small business owner because you enjoy marketing or management? Probably not. But, if you're going to continue to grow your business you have to realize this important fact: Unless you want your business to forever stay in the category of "side hustle", you must move on from seeing yourself as a service or product provider.
* Do you have a plan to move your "service-oriented" tasks off your plate?
* Does your business have a marketing "system" in place?
* If you stopped "doing your job" … would your business immediately shut down?
What I'm learning: smart marketing and owner positioning can make the difference between doing "alright", and creating something of growing, ongoing value.
Yes, I'm an accountant — but you must understand, I'm a business owner too, and these are hard-won lessons.
I'm grateful for your friendship.

The Music Of Spanish Exile
George Robinson, The Jewish Week, July 15, 2014
Clara Sanabras knows something about exile. The thirty-something Catalan singer was born in France, raised in Barcelona and for the past 20 years has lived in London. Her family history is so complicated that even she finds it a bit amusing. Her career path has had enough unlikely turns for an entire music festival.
So it is appropriate that her new album and her American performing debut on July 20 should have as their shared theme Spanish songs of exile, drawing on everything from Catalan to Ladino, from John Donne to her own great-grandfather.
"When I reflect on the songs on this album, on the history behind them, it makes me value the fact that I've had a choice about where I live," Sanabras said last week in a telephone interview from her home in Stoke Newington. "I've always embraced whatever place I was in, and I've always been a hybrid. The exiles I'm singing about didn't have a choice."
It was music that brought her to London, a young classical pianist looking to study early music.
"When I hear early polyphony, that's where my heart is at," she confessed. "I've always been obsessed with medieval and baroque music, and that's what brought me to London, because people told me that if I wanted to study early music, this was the place to go."
It was that fascination that led her to learn to play the lute and then a succession of other period instruments, which, in turn, led her to Arabic music, which led her to a wide range of folk music, which led her to songwriting, which … you get the idea.
"It's kind of schizo, but very fruitful," Sanabras said laughing.
Her speaking voice, like her singing voice, is rich and dark, her accent a beguiling mix of Stoke Newington and Catalonia.
The spark for the new album was a gift from her mother, a book of poems by the Catalan poet Joan Llongueras, Clara's great-grandfather.
"I opened it to the first page and there was a line that gave me the title of the song and the album, 'Scattered Flight,' 'el vol dispers.'"
"To me that is a universal image," Sanabras said quietly. "I had learned a lot about exile from Spain here in England — more than I could learn in Spain, because it wasn't censored in England."
She learned Sephardic songs from a close friend, a Moroccan Jew. The Catalan songs were in her blood. She wanted to pay homage to Ernest Hemingway and was grabbed by the phrase that he took as the title of his novel of the Spanish Civil War, "For Whom the Bell Tolls."
"I hadn't realized until I looked it up that the title actually came from John Donne," she said. "But Donne's words say it all, so I sat down and set it to music."
Asked if there is something in Spanish history or culture that seems to engender a particular need for exile, she paused.
She then refers to the legendary period of peaceful coexistence in which Jews, Muslims and Christians lived together on the Iberian Peninsula in relative harmony and intellectual ferment.
"I think that this era has been romanticized a bit, but you had the biggest minds of Europe living together and learning from each other," Sanabras said. "Then it was all destroyed by the Catholic Church and the Crown."
She feels a particular affinity for the songs of the Sephardic diaspora. "They are mathematically perfect; they conjure up the harmony of the stars," she said.
Her family bloodlines are not only Catalan; she counts among her many forebears Roma and Sinti and even Sioux. She doesn't know of any specific Jewish ancestors but suspects that, given the workings of Spanish history there probably are some.
"If they are there, they would have converted during the time of the Inquisition," Sanabras speculates. "My grandmother looked extremely Jewish, and she didn't know for sure the family roots, when they became Catholic."
At least one prominent Jewish author must have had a similar suspicion. When he began work on his BBC television series "The Story of the Jews," Simon Schama and his musical director invited Sanabras to provide songs for the program's soundtrack.
"It was serendipitous," she says. "Simon had been at work on the project on and off for many years and I had worked with his musical director before. They wanted music to illustrate the history and I was particularly happy with the medieval episodes."
As for "El Vol Dispers," Sanabras says the album, although designed to focus on the more intimate aspects of exile rather than the political ones, has a clear message.
"I want this music to carry a message of hope," she says. "A message that life is enhanced by solidarity and coexistence."

Good Duets for Guys
By: Kayla Richard Updated September 15, 2017
What Is a True Contralto?
When you think of famous duets, you probably think of romantic pop songs or musical theater ballads performed by a male singer and a female singer. It can be challenging to come up with duets for a male duo to perform. However, there is a refreshingly large selection of duet material for men.
Broadway Musical Duets
Broadway is teaming with duets for men that range from tear-jerking to comical. "Agony" from "Into the Woods" is a funny song performed by the princes. "Rent" has two duet numbers for men: "What You Own," a power-packing rock song between Mark and Roger, and "I'll Cover You," a romantic song between Angel and Collins. "Pretty Women" from "Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street" is a dark duet between Sweeney Todd and Judge Turpin. "You're Nothing Without Me" is performed by Stine and Stone in "City of Angels." "The Producers" has three lighthearted duets for men: "We Can Do It," "'Til Him" and "Where Did We Go Right?"
Popular Music Duets
Musical artists from many genres perform in duos and collaborate on duets. "Miss Sarajevo" is a poignant and surprising collaboration between U2's Bono and opera great Luciano Pavarotti. "Under Pressure" by David Bowie and Freddie Mercury is a 1980s male duet. "Debra Kadabra" by Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart from the "Bongo Fury" album is quirky rock duet. There are plenty of duets from these male duos: Hall and Oates, The Everly Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel, The Righteous Brothers, Pet Shop Boys, Kris Kross, Air Supply and Savage Garden.
Operatic Duets
Opera has rich duets for men. Bizet's "Au fond du temple saint," is a well-known piece from "The Pearl Fishers" for a tenor and a baritone. Donizetti's "Qui del padre ancor respira" from "Lucia di Lammermoor" is a passionate, angry piece for a tenor and a baritone. Mozart's "Vivat Bacchus!" is a comedic song from "Abduction From the Seraglio" that celebrates hedonism. Verdi's "Solenne in quest'ora" is a duet between two male leads who are plotting to kill each other in "La Forza del Destino."
Gender Bending Duets
You can bend the rules of gender to make a duet work. When singing a part written for a woman, most men find they need to bring the notes down an octave or more. Because there are few romantic duets for two men, male artists who want to perform a romantic duet can change the gender pronouns in a song originally written for a man and a woman. Male-female duets that are not romantic can simply be reworked for two men. Even all-female duets can be changed to work for two men.
