Ruth Meckler, conocida como Ruth Laredo, (Detroit, 20 de noviembre de 1937 – Manhattan, 25 de mayo de 2005) fue una pianista clásica estadounidense.

Fue conocida en los años 70 en particular por sus registros de las 10 sonatas de Aleksandr Scriabin y las obras completas para piano solo de Serguéi Rajmáninov, por sus grabaciones de Maurice Ravel y, en los últimos 16 años antes de su muerte, por su serie en el Museo Metropolitano de Arte de "Conciertos con Comentario". Fue denominada a menudo como "la Primera Dama del Piano de América".

Biografía
Ruth Meckler nació el 20 de noviembre de 1937 en Detroit, Míchigan, la mayor de las dos hijas de Miriam Meckler-Horowitz, una profesora de piano y Ben Meckler, un profesor de inglés. Cuándo tenía sólo dos años era ya capaz de tocar el tema Dios Bendice América en el piano de su madre, sin haber sido enseñada.:51

Cuándo tenía ocho años su madre la llevó a un concierto de Vladimir Horowitz en el Masonic Auditorium de Detroit. Después del concierto juró llegar a ser ella misma concertista de piano.:51 Horowitz tocó Scriabin y Laredo quedó tan fascinada por esta música que desarrolló una pasión de por vida hacia Scriabin y otros compositores rusos contemporáneos como Rachmaninoff.

En 1960 se trasladó a Nueva York y se casó con el violinista nacido en Bolivia, Jaime Laredo, quién era tres años más joven que ella. Se conocieron en el Instituto de Música Curtis de Filadelfia y actuaron juntos regularmente hasta su divorcio en 1974. De su unión nació una hija en 1969, Jennifer, que está casada con Paul Watkins que ha sido director musical de la Orquesta de Cámara Inglesa entre otras agrupaciones y violonchelista. Desde 2013 es miembro del prestigioso Emerson String Quartet.

Durante el embarazo y después del nacimiento de su hija, Ruth Laredo tuvo que abandonar las giras con su marido. Entusiasta de poder grabar la música de Scriabin, presentó a varias compañías de discos la propuesta de grabar todas las 10 sonatas del compositor. Alan Silver de la Connoisseur Society asumió el riesgo, a pesar de que inicialmente sólo lanzaron un LP (Sonatas Nº. 5, Nº. 7, "Misa Blanca", Nº. 9, "Misa Negra" y Ocho Estudios, Op. 42). Después del éxito notable de este primer registro, Connoisseur le ofreció la oportunidad de grabar las restantes siete sonatas siendo la primera persona en tener grabadas sus sonatas completas. Este hito marcó el auténtico principio de su carrera como intérprete solista.

Retrospectivamente, Laredo explica en "The Ruth Laredo Becoming a Musician Book":60 (publicado en 1992) que esta es una manera alternativa de emprender una carrera en solitario: encontrar un nicho de repertorio, algo que nadie había hecho antes. La manera más obvia sería ganar competiciones, pero ella nunca tuvo éxito en competiciones importantes.

Cuándo su hija creció, Laredo estuvo a punto de volver a actuar con su marido, pero no fue posible por su proceso de divorcio, que se consumó en 1974 y que la llevó a una crisis personal. Tomó un puesto de profesora en Universidad Yale y aceptó la invitación de Thomas Z. Shepard de CBS Masterworks, que quedó impresionado por sus grabaciones de Scriabin, para grabar las obras completas para piano solo de Rachmaninoff.:60 Esto, según Laredo, salvó su vida y con los discos de Rachmaninoff, hechos de 1974 a 1979 (el último álbum fue publicado en 1981), su carrera en solitario alcanzó su zenit.:474

Después de estos registros de referencia, el editor de música internacional C. F. Peters encargó a Ruth Laredo editar una nueva edición fidedigna de los 24 Preludios de Rachmaninoff. Fueron publicados en 1981 (Op. 3, Núm. 2), 1985 (Op. 23) y 1991 (Op. 32). Laredo creía que muchas de las partituras generalmente utilizadas de Rachmaninoff no se correspondían con las ediciones originales del compositor. Sus sospechas se vieron confirmadas después de estudiar los manuscritos originales guardados en la Biblioteca del Congreso de Estados Unidos, en el Archivo Rachmaninoff de Washington, D.C. y más tarde también en el Museo Glinka, durante su visita a Rusia en 1989. Las ediciones nuevas eran mucho más cercanas a los manuscritos originales del compositor.:278/279

Laredo escribió también artículos para las revistas Piano Today y Keyboard Classics y presentó los programas Performance Today y Morning Edition para Radio Pública Nacional (NPR), y First Hearing y Onstage with Young Concert Artists para la emisora radiofónica clásica de Nueva York WQXR.

En el año 2000 Laredo apareció en una escena de la película de Woody Allen Granujas de medio pelo, donde el personaje de Hugh Grant intenta impresionar al de Tracey Ullman llevándola a un recital de piano, donde Ruth Laredo está tocando Rachmaninoff.

Ruth Laredo fue también conocida por su llamativo vestuario de escena (la mayoría hecho por la diseñadora de vestuario del Lincoln Center Catherine Heiser). A menudo podía ser vista montando su bicicleta o corriendo mientras escuchaba la música de Phil Collins o de Génesis por el Upper West Side de Manhattan donde vivía.

Tenía un fuerte compromiso con la tradición judía. En una conferencia de la serie de Conciertos con Comentario dedicada a Felix Mendelssohn, habló de la importancia y profundidad de su origen judío.

Ruth Laredo murió el 25 de mayo de 2005 mientras dormía en su apartamento de Manhattan. La causa de su muerte fue cáncer ovárico, un diagnóstico qué le fue hecha cuatro años antes de su muerte, pero no paró de dar conciertos. Está enterrada en Cementerio Kensico, Valhalla, Nueva York, a sólo unos cuantos metros de la tumba de Sergei Rachmaninoff quién fue tan importante a su vida. En el funeral el 31 de mayo de 2005, dos de sus colegas más cercanos actuaron: Wei Gang Li del Cuarteto de Shanghái y Courtenay Budd, con quien había dado su último "Concierto con Comentario", junto con el Cuarteto de Cuerda de St. Petersburgo, el 6 de mayo de 2005.

El 18 de mayo de 2006 su hija Jennifer organizó un concierto conmemorativo en el Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium del Museo Metropolitano de Arte de Nueva York. Los participantes fueron el Cuarteto Guarneri (con Paul Watkins, el marido de Jennifer), Courtenay Budd, Nicolas Kendall, Pei Yao Wang, Edmund Battersby, James Tocco así como Susan Wadsworth, directora de los Young Concert Artits y la flautista Paula Robison. Courtenay Budd Cantó la canción favorita de Ruth Laredo, el lied de Franz Schubert, An die Musik, el título del cual Jennifer Laredo Watkins escogió para la inscripción de la lápida de su madre.

En 2007 fue creado el Ruth Laredo Memorial Prize de los Young Concert Artists International Auditions. Ella había ganado el Young Concert Artists International Auditions Award en 1962 y después fue frecuentemente miembro del Jurado de las Audiciones.

Educación

Su madre Miriam Meckler, una profesora de piano principalmente para niños, fue su primera profesora. En 1947 la envía a aprender con Edward Bredshall que había estudiado con Nadia Boulanger en París y era conocido por sus eficaces métodos de enseñanza. Estudió con él cuatro años y la introdujo a la música de otros compositores rusos, notablemente Serguéi Prokofiev, Ígor Stravinsky y Dmitri Kabalevsky.:469

Su preferencia para música rusa la dirigió a practicar con un ruso emigrado, Mischa Kottler, quién también fue profesor de la pianista y cantante Muriel Elizabeth Charbonneau y más tarde del saxofonista y compositor Rick Margitza y el pianista de jazz Ray Cooke.

De 1951 a 1955 Laredo asistió al Instituto Mumford de Detroit. Durante sus vacaciones de verano asistió a los Indian Hill Summer Workshops en Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Después de su graduación en 1955 empieza sus estudios con Rudolf Serkin en el Instituto de Música Curtis en Filadelfia. Fue presentada a Serkin en 1954 por el violinista Berl Senofsky y el pianista Seymour Lipkin, a quien había conocido en los campamentos de verano. Serkin le dijo su en su audición en Marlboro, Vermont: "puedo ver que tocas como un tigre!" La aceptó como uno de sus cuatro únicos estudiantes.:471

Rudolf Serkin, discípulo de Arnold Schoenberg y de Richard Robert era un artista conocido en todo el mundo por su dedicación completa a la música y su fidelidad al compositor. Al principio dejó de lado la pasión de Laredo hacia la música de compositores rusos y la introdujo en la línea central de compositores europeos Mozart-Beethoven-Schubert-Brahms. A pesar de esto, Ruth Laredo fue conocida posteriormente por sus grabaciones de Scriabin y Rachmaninoff.

Ruth Laredo asistió muchos veranos a la Marlboro Music School and Festival cerca de Brattleboro, Vermont, el cual había sido fundado en 1950 por Rudolf Serkin y Adolf Busch. Allí continuó sus estudios con Serkin y fue entrenada en música de cámara por el violoncelista Pau Casals. Entre el alumnado se pueden destacar Murray Perahia, Richard Goode (actualmente director artístico del festival, junto con Mitsuko Uchida), Emanuel Ax y Yo-Yo Ma.

Ruth Laredo se graduó en 1960 con un diploma del Instituto de Música Curtis y un Bachelor of Music de la Universidad de Pensilvania.:471 Su graduación tuvo lugar en una celebración del quincuagésimo cumpleaños de Samuel Barber. Por coincidencia había preparado su Sonata, Op. 26 para su recital de graduación y así formó parte de la celebración. Barber estaba entre la audiencia y se dirigió a ella después del concierto, la felicitó calurosamente y escribió en su copia de la Sonata: "Brava, bravissima.":278

Enseñanza
En el Instituto de Música Curtis y en el festival de verano de Meadowmount School of Music en Elizabethtown, New York, Ruth Laredo fue escogida por el pedagogo y violinista Ivan Galamian y el violoncelista Leonard Rose para acompañar al piano a los estudiantes, entre los cuales había Arnold Steinhardt, Michael Tree, Pinchas Zukerman y Itzhak Perlman.

Ruth Laredo fue profesora en las facultades de la Universidad de Yale en New Haven, Connecticut, en el Instituto de Música Curtis de Filadelfia y la Manhattan School of Music, Nueva York. Hizo máster clases en esas instituciones y en la Eastman School of Music (Universidad de Rochester), en la Indiana University Bloomington, en el New England Conservatory of Music, Boston, en la Music Academy of the West en Santa Bárbara, California y la Universidad de Princeton. Fue algún tiempo Wiley Housewright Eminent Scholar Chair en la Florida State University, Tallahassee.:72 Entre sus estudiantes figuran el compositor y pianista Curt Cacioppo, Michael Kimmelman, crítico de arte jefe del New York Times, el pianista checo Adam Skoumal y el pianista suizo Oliver Schnyder.

Conciertos

Durante la primera década de su carrera actuó básicamente como acompañante de su marido Jaime Laredo. Al propio tiempo se intentó establecer como solista y en 1962 hizo su debut orquestal en el Carnegie Hall con la Orquesta Sinfónica Americana dirigida por Leopold Stokowski. Desafortunadamente el debut atrajo poca atención.:113

Fue miembro fundador de los Music from Marlboro Concerts y en 1965 participó en su primera gira que incluía una visita a Israel donde tocó el Concierto para tres pianos de Johann Sebastian Bach con Rudolf y Peter Serkin. Apareció en el primer concierto de Music from Marlboro, "Isaac Stern and Friends", en el Carnegie Hall de New York.

Su carrera en solitario tuvo un impulso importante en 1974, cuándo hizo su debut en Avery Fisher Hall en el Lincoln Center de Nueva York. Su interpretación del Concierto para piano en sol mayor de Ravel con la Orquesta Filarmónica de Nueva York dirigida por Pierre Boulez, fue acogida con entusiasmo por la crítica. En 1976 hizo su debut en recital en solitario en la Sala de conciertos "Alice Tully Hall" del Lincoln Center con obras de Beethoven, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff y Ravel, cuyo "La Valse" fue su obra de cierre. El bis de este concierto fue el Segundo Preludio de Piano de Gershwin. En 1981 hizo su debut en solitario en el Carnegie Hall con un programa titulado "Homenaje a Rachmaninoff" qué incluía obras de Chopin, Beethoven y Scriabin.

En 1988 Laredo participó en la celebración del 135.º aniversario del primer piano Steinway y el piano nº 500.000 fabricado por esa compañía. El concierto, liderado por Van Cliburn, presentó a 27 famosos pianistas incluyendo a Alfred Brendel, Shura Cherkassky, Murray Perahia, Rudolf Serkin y Alexis Weissenberg. Laredo tocó el Preludio Op. 32, Núm. 5 de Rachmaninoff y Coquette del Carnaval, Op. 9 de Robert Schumann.

También toco en Washington, D.C. (Kennedy Center, Library of Congress, 1966 en la Casa Blanca con su marido Jaime Laredo para el Presidente Lyndon B. Johnson), en Boston, Buffalo, Chicago, Cleveland, Houston, Indianápolis, Maryland, Nashville, Filadelfia, San Francisco, Santa Bárbara y Toronto. En numerosos festivales, entre los cuales el Amadeus Festival/Midsummer Nights Festival en New Jersey, el Aspen Music Festival and School en Aspen, Colorado, el Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival en Bridgehampton, New York, el Caramoor International Music Festival en Katonah, New York, el Eastern Music Festival en Greensboro, North Carolina, el Maverick Concerts Festival en Hurley, New York, el Spoleto Festival USA en Charleston, South Carolina, el Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival en Detroit, el Music Mountain Summer Chamber Music Festival en Falls Village, Connecticut y el Casals Festival en San Juan, Puerto Rico. Hizo giras en 1976/1977 en Europa (Holanda, Alemania) y Japón y en 1979 en Japón y Hong Kong.:112 Hay que destacar su gira de 1989 en Rusia ( Moscú, St. Petersburgo) y Ukrania (Odessa). Para una norteamericana que va a Rusia a tocar la música de los compositores rusos – en la misma sala del Conservatorio de Moscú donde había tocado Rachmaninoff – fue un reto extraordinario. Pero Laredo encontró una cálida acogida de la audiencia y las entradas se agotaron. En el Museo Glinka en Moscú tuvo la oportunidad de ver los manuscritos originales de Rachmaninoff que se conservan allí.

Además de con las orquestas ya citadas tocó también con las orquestas de Filadelfia, de Cleveland, la Orquesta de Compositores Americana, de Baltimore, Beaumont, Boston, Greenwich, Houston, Indianápolis, Júpiter, Madison, Nacional, New Jersey, St. Louis, Búfalo y de Varsovia bajo Kazimierz Kord, con quien en 1993 actúa en Varsovia en un Concierto del Día de las Naciones Unidas, que fue retransmitido por estaciones de televisión en todas partes Europa. Después hizo una gira con la orquesta a través de los EE.UU. que culminó en un concierto en el Carnegie Hall con el Concierto para piano Nº 1 de Rachmaninoff.

En la temporada 1988/1989 empiece su serie de "Conciertos con Comentario" (primero llamada "Hablar de Música") en el Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium del Museo Metropolitano de Arte de Nueva York. La serie estuvo en cartelera 17 temporadas hasta el último concierto del 6 de mayo de 2005, poco antes de su muerte. Los programas se hicieron muy populares y por lo tanto los interpretó en otras ciudades de los EE. UU.

La serie incluyó obras de Brahms, Chopin, Dvořák, Fauré, Franck, Rachmaninoff, Ravel, Clara y Robert Schumann, Scriabin y Chaikovski, de los cuales hablaba antes de las interpretaciones con gran pasión. El concierto final era el tercero de una serie titulada "El Espíritu Ruso" con música de Chaikovski, Rachmaninoff, Scriabin y Shostakovich.

El 13 de septiembre de 2001, sólo dos días después de los ataques terroristas en el World Trade Center de Nueva York, Ruth Laredo celebraba el 25.º aniversario de su debut en el Alice Tully Hall con un recital como concierto de apertura de la temporada 2001 del Lincoln Center. Antes del concierto explicó a la audiencia por qué no había cancelado el recital: "Era importante para mí tocar. La gran música nos da apoyo espiritual y esperanza. Es con ese espíritu con el que toco esta noche." El programa era similar al de su debut en 1976 e incluía obras de Robert Schumann, Beethoven, Scriabin, Rachmaninoff y Ravel, con el Vals Op. 69, Núm. 1 de Chopin como bis.

En septiembre de 2004 Laredo fue invitada por el ministerio de cultura ruso a participar en el Festival Internacional de Rimski-Kórsakov en el Conservatorio de San Petersburgo. En este acontecimiento, dedicado al 200 aniversario del compositor ruso Mijaíl Glinka, tocó música de cámara así como recitales en solitario y dio una máster class para alumnado ruso.

Estaba muy comprometida con la música de cámara y decía que los solistas particularmente necesitan de esta experiencia como preparación para conciertos con grandes orquestas. "La carencia se hace evidente cuándo un solista actúa como si la orquesta fuera un mero acompañamiento" dijo.:55 Colaboró frecuentemente con el Cuarteto de Shanghái (regularmente en el Music Mountain Festival), y con otros cuartetos como el Americano, Budapest, Emerson, Manhattan, Muir, St. Lawrence, St. Petersburgo, Veronika y el Vermeer. También con las orquestas de cámara Chappaqua, de Manhattan, Orfeo y de Saint Paul, con los Philharmonia Virtuosi y la Orquesta de St. Luke es. Actuó con el Cuarteto Guarneri y el Cuarteto de Cuerda de Tokio en la serie del Lincoln Center, Grandes Intérpretes. Ayudó al Cuarteto de Cuerda del Tokio en varios periodos cuándo un miembro del Cuarteto estaba enfermo, transformando el grupo temporalmente a un cuarteto de piano. Desde su primera asociación en 1980 en el Alice Tully Hall, giró cada temporada con la flautista Paula Robison como el "Paula y Ruth" dúo.

También tocó música contemporánea. En 1989 toca la obra de Wallingford Riegger Variaciones de doce tonos para Piano y Orquesta en el Carnegie Hall con la Orquesta de Compositores Americana bajo Paul Lustig Dunkel. Su repertorio incluyó también obras de Franz Liszt, Arnold Schoenberg, Béla Bartók, Anton Webern y Alban Berg.

En 1994 Laredo tocó con la pianista de jazz Marian McPartland y desde 1996 con ella y Dick Hyman en los programas titulados Three Piano Crossover.

En los últimos años de su vida su carrera como solista con orquestas decayó, pero se sintió cómoda con una mezcla de recitales y conciertos de cámara.

Laredo criticó la tendencia de los últimos años de grabar conciertos en vivo para retransmitidos en diferido.

Discos
En 1967 Ruth Laredo grabó un álbum bien recibido de música de piano del compositor francés Maurice Ravel.

En 1970 Laredo hizo su famosa premier de las 10 sonatas de Scriabin en tres LP para Connoisseur (reestrenado en 1984 por Nonesuch Records en una caja de tres LP y en 1996 en un doble CD). Hizo los registros en a capilla de St. Paul en Universidad de Columbia de Nueva York, en un magnífico piano Baldwin SD-10.El primer lanzamiento fue en un periodo donde la música de Scriabin era poco conocida, y los registros de Laredo hicieron aumentar su popularidad en los EE. UU. " Fuy una especie de cruzado para su música," dijo Laredo.:112

De 1974 a 1981 siguió con las obras de piano solo completas de Rachmaninoff en siete LP para CBS Masterworks (reestrenados en 1993 por Sony Classical en cinco CD), un proyecto que ningún pianista antes había osado emprender (en la misma época el pianista alemán-americano Michael Ponti también grabó las obras de Scriabin y Rachmaninoff). En esa época era una rareza que una pianista tocara los trabajos musculares de Rachmaninoff. Solo Gina Bachauer, Myra Hess y Alicia de Larrocha lo hacían. El Daily News la bautizó como "la Primera Dama del Piano de América", un sobrenombre que fue más tarde utilizado por muchos otros. Laredo a quien inicialmente desagradó el apelativo después recapacitó y utilizó el título en su libro y en su sitio web.

La preparación para el registro de las obras de Rachmaninoff fue agotadora. Laredo dijo que ahora entendía por qué algunas de las piezas nunca habían sido tocadas por nadie: sencillamente porque eran tan duras de interpretar. Rachmaninoff, que era alto con las manos grandes, había compuesto muchos de sus trabajos para él mismo. Había que preguntarse como la pequeña Laredo era capaz de tocar obras Rachmaninoff que abarcaban 11 tramos de teclas. Después de practicar la música de "Rocky", como llamaba a Rachmaninoff, tenía que recibir un masaje en sus manos.

Ruth Laredo también grabó más de 20 álbumes que presentan obras de otros compositores, entre ellos Isaac Albéniz, Bach, Beethoven, Lili Boulanger, Brahms, Chopin, Falla, Debussy, Khachaturian, Fauré, Mozart, Poulenc, Ravel, Clara y Robert Schumann, Chaikovski así como de compositores americanos como Barber, Aaron Copland, Ives, Laderman, Kirchner, Rorem y Siegmeister. Especialmente aclamado fue el registro con James Tocco de la Consagración de la Primavera de Stravinsky en la versión para dos pianos para Gasparo Records.

Laredo hizo sus últimos registros en 1999 con el Cuarteto de Shanghái, quién la llamó "el quinto miembro del Cuarteto" para Arabesque Records (cuartetos de piano de Brahms) y en el Great Lakes Chamber Music Festival con el violinista Philip Setzer para Newport Classic ("Música de Día" por Ned Rorem; el CD contiene también las obras de Norem  "Escenas de Guerra" y "El Fin del Verano" interpretadas por otros artistas que incluyen al compositor en el piano). Los dos CDs fueron publicados en el año 2000.

Exile as a Positive Experience?
Eve and Rabbi Francis Nataf discuss, among other things, his newest book, Redeeming Relevance on Leviticus/Vayikra. What does it mean to be a nation of priests, and for priests to be joyful? Details are important as a means to the end- which is connecting to Hashem. Israel as a light unto the nations- a very big challenge which can be realized now that we're home again. There's work to do as individuals and collectively as the exiles in-gather and we each find our specialty, sometimes with a price to pay for leadership.

Ethical Lagging or Learned Evil?
Mottle Wolf of Tekoa joins Eve to discuss last week's brutal murder of his neighbor Ori Ansbacher hy"d. Can we stop this depravity? How do we react as individuals, as a society, as a nation, as Jews? As parents?
The debate over how much detail should be released to the media is not as simple one. We need to consider the victim and the family but also the reaction of the society that raises the perpetrators.
Deep grief and no end in sight.
Don't let Ori's light die out with her. At least that's something we can control.
BDS and Breaking Double Standards
Nati Rom is a former 'hill top youth' turned very busy Human Rights lawyer. He speaks with Eve about the organization Or Ami (named for his wife's war hero first husband) devoted to defending both Jewish kids and Arab victims of Arab torture. This proud young man, motivated by faith and a desire to truly heal the world, is also founder of Lev HaOlam, helping businesses in Judea and Samaria by connecting them with supporters around the world. We all talk about fighting BDS; he acts on it. Join him and bring Israel's heartland into your home.

StellarNova's Ultimate Book Launch
Chemist Dr. Yael Schuster (aka Dr. Mom) is a woman with a mission – to educate and excite children via stories, hands on games, animation and adventure towards a lifelong passion for STEM: Science, technology, engineering and mathematics. This brilliant Israeli by choice founded StellarNova, marrying science and creativity. Her book, The Little Spacecraft, is heading for the moon on next month's launch of an Israeli spacecraft. Partnering with SPACEIL, the Israeli non-profit that is aiming to have Israel join only 3 other countries (US, Russia and China) who've had successful lunar landings, her company published this book to catch a ride on one of the most exciting adventures this little country can have- space exploration. STEM cells are where life begins and this young mother is nurturing for the future.

Ecology as Interfaith Common Ground
On the Eve of Tu B'Shvat, Judaism's birthday for the trees, Eve plays an interview she taped at Limmud with Rabbi Yonatan Neril. He is the Founder and Executive Director of the Interfaith Center for Sustainable Development, based in Israel. Their mission is to use interfaith collaboration as a means to reach a more compassionate, sustainable and spiritually aware society. Can religious leadership and Torah study be catalysts to create a better environment? Rav Yonatan is working hard to clean up the planet and protect God's world.
Theater and Theology
Yael Valier is creative director of Jerusalem based 'Theater and Theology'. She tells Eve how her personal search for explanations of why bad things happen to good people led her down this path of intellectual, spiritual and artistic creativity and also ultimately prepared her in some way for the recent death of her son. Why are English speaking Orthodox Jews attending plays with originally Christian themes? Are theaters the place to discuss God?
A thought provoking, even pain-full talk with a talented and deeply devoted Jew.
Yael has now gone international.
Harpies, Hebrew and Helios at Huqoq
After a few minutes sharing her experiences of the last 2 weeks, Eve plays her interview with Dr. Jodi Magness, taped a few days ago at the Limmud UK Festival in Birmingham. The archaeologist relates her amazing finds at the 1600 year old synagogue of Huqoq, west of the Kinneret in the Galilee. Elephants, Samson and a Midrashic take of Jonah's feet in 3 fish share floor space with satyrs, a zodiac wheel and people bopping each other over the head near the Tower of Babel. Known for her fine work ethic, teaching style and professional publishing record, Jodi's excitement at the very unique mosaics from the Talmudic era is palpable. What will be uncovered next and what are the different interpretations of the already discovered mosaics? Check out the stunning, enigmatic scenes at www.huqoq.org. Israel continues to surprise.

Risk – In Reality
Jerusalem based Jonathan Spyer, Eve's favorite on the ground Mid East analyst, shares his insights in the UK on the constantly changing landscape and the players in the very real and dangerous game of Risk being played out in the area. What will the US pullout from Syria do to the Kurds? Which weak links will get wiped off the board? Saudis, Iranians, Iraqis, ISIS, Israel, Russia, Jordan and Turkey. One wrong move and blood doesn't spill, it pours. Listen and then continue to follow him if you don't already.

I am Bat El
While at Limmud UK Eve Harow had the chance to see a live performance by Bat El Bornstein, the enormously talented little lady of the Israeli stage. They speak about challenges, faith and acceptance of who you are as a blessing. This woman׳s heart and soul are almost too big for her tiny frame. Her TED Talk "Bigger is Better" has over 2 million views.
Keep Jerusalem; Weep for her Children
Chaim Silberstein is the Founder of Keep Jerusalem, a private initiative devoted to solving the immensely complex issues facing Jewish Jerusalem. Demographics, illegal Arab neighborhoods, lack of housing, infrastructure and places of employment are just some the daunting topics he and a group of experts have tackled with an in-depth, all encompassing master plan. He speaks with Eve of their ongoing efforts to educate politicians, decision makers and journalists, both local and foreign, to the imperative of dealing creatively with the realities and dynamics of the Holy City. Meanwhile his own family is reeling from both tragedy and miracles. Chaim's daughter Shira and her husband Amichai are on a long, uncertain journey to recovery after the terror attack that cost the life of his first grandson, Amiad Yisrael hy"d. Their strength and gratitude despite personal loss and unimaginable pain is a testament to true faith, literally tested under fire. We all prayed and cried with them. Be inspired, and let the healing begin.

Doesn't just sound good: TLMI Award for Piano Label
Doesn't just sound good:
TLMI Award for Piano Label
The TLMI Label Awards are the most important awards in the US printing industry. They are awarded once a year by the Tag and Label Manufacturers Institute (TLMI) for the best innovations and technical achievements. At the 2022 awards, a first place went to Schreiner ProTech's Piano Label. This can be used to easily and permanently mark the valve block of vehicles.
Schreiner Group's products have already received several TLMI Label Awards. A great success: After all, the U.S. market is one of the most important markets for the hidden champion. Now Schreiner ProTech's Piano Label has been awarded first place in the category "Tag-Industrial and/or Systems". The name comes from the fact that the identification label with its markings is reminiscent of the keys of a piano.
Passenger cars in the premium segment have air suspension for the chassis. This is regulated with the aid of a valve block that has several air connections. In order to connect them correctly and as quickly as possible during production, the Piano Label identifies the individual air connections. The special feature here is that the air hoses that are connected have the same color as the markings on the label. This rules out any possibility of confusion. Since the valve block in the engine compartment is exposed to high loads and strong temperature fluctuations, the Piano Label was designed to be particularly resistant.
Schreiner Group has also been exporting to the USA for more than 20 years. In 2008, the first international production site was opened in Blauvelt, New York State. Since then, the company has been producing for the North American market directly on site – now with more than 70 employees. "As a medium-sized company, setting up the first international location was a big step for us," reports Managing Director Roland Schreiner. "That's why I'm particularly pleased that we were once again able to win the prestigious TLMI award. This shows that we have also been able to establish a high reputation in the USA."
Schreiner ProTech's Piano Label received a first place in the TLMI Label Awards in 2022.
Managing Director Roland Schreiner is pleased about the TLMI Label Award for the Piano Label. Under his leadership, Schreiner Group's US location was established in Blauvelt in 2007.

Q: Optimum reinstall of Ubuntu 16.04 and partition choices I'm going to format my computer because of problems.
The first time I installed Ubuntu, I did not do the partitioning very well, and the machine does not like how it works.
I have 160 GB and little RAM, so I wanted to add 5 or 6 Gb of swap. I use it to create small applications and study how to create applications.
How should I do the distribution, primary, logical, etc? I have many doubts and I do not know what kind of partitions I should create.
My language is Spanish, but I think it is convenient to do the installation in English, what do you say to that?
I'd appreciate some idea or an idea of where to study documentation.
Thanks, and forgive the bad syntax but I must make use of the translator
EDIT: I had an idea of creating three partitions: root /, /home and swap
Or two parts: root / and swap

A: The default partitions in a 16.04 desktop install are root ("/") and swap .
A useful explanation of swap may be found at https://itsfoss.com/swap-size/ .
Should you wish to use a swapfile within root and do without the separate partition, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-add-swap-space-on-ubuntu-16-04 offers a useful tutorial on the subject.
As to a separate /home partition, some like it because it segregates almost of of their data and changes to the system (but not all....). See a discussion at What are the pros and cons of having a separate home partition?.
You can use either MBR or GPT partitioning with Ubuntu. MBR is the old method which requires the use of logical partitions within an extended partition if you need more than four (4) partitions on a drive. GPT is the new standard, and is easier to work with. It's also not limited to a maximum of 2TB, as MBR is. http://www.eassos.com/tutorial/hard-drive/mbr-vs-gpt.php provides a good explanation.

A study by US researchers reveals that Neanderthals cooked and ate plants and vegetables.
The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found grains of cooked plant material in the teeth of Neanderthals.
The study is the first to confirm that the Neanderthal diet was not confined to meat and was more sophisticated than previously thought, according to the BBC.
As South Carolina commemorates the 150th anniversary of its secession from the Union, archeologists are providing details about some of the final days of the resulting war.
Wednesday, South Carolina's state archaeologist discussed the recent discovery of what is believed to be the Confederate gunboat CSS Pee Dee, scuttled by its own crew in the Civil War's waning days.
In November, Jonathan Leader — state archaeologist and researcher at the University of South Carolina — worked with fellow researcher Chris Amer to explore the Pee Dee River in the northeastern part of the state.
Using sonar to search underwater, the team found large bolts in a straight line, evidence Leader says likely means they've found a ship, according to The Associated Press.
They believe the find could yield valuable knowledge about the South's attempts to maintain its own navy.
It's been nearly 80 years since a representative was seated in South Carolina's 7th Congressional District, but that will change in two years when the Palmetto State adds a bit of political clout as a result of the 2010 Census.
The last man to hold the seat was Hampton Fulmer, elected in 1921. He served until 1933, when the 7th was eliminated as a result of the 1930 census. Fulmer simply took over the 2nd Congressional District seat at that point and served until his death in 1944.
The 7th district has been eliminated before, as well. The seat was done away with in 1853, as a result of the 1850 census. It was added back in 1883.
The handful of you who read this blog may have figured out that I enjoy the study of history. There are many periods, particularly during the past 500 years, that would be fascinating to have been a part of, at least in my opinion.
Nevertheless, there are two big reasons that exist that clearly illuminate why I'm glad to be alive now and not, say, 150 years ago: modern plumbing and modern dentistry. We've got it pretty good today, even if many of us don't realize it.
A columnist for The Economist takes on the question that has confounded sorority girls, prolific emailers and rookie receptionists for years: When to use an exclamation point?
It's difficult to receive more than half a dozen emails without getting at least as many exclamation points.
Former Navy Chaplain Gordon James Klingenschmitt (above) is in a tizzy about the Senate's approval to do away with the military's 17-year ban on openly gay troops.
Homosexual sin will always be a stench in the nostrils of Almighty God, an abomination which God condemns and shall punish with everlasting destruction. Even if the Senate had voted 100 to 0 to legalize sin, they could not remove God from His throne of Judgment, before which every knee shall bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.


View the Thailand Empowerment 2016 Campaign Mission Update here.
Our US & Asian Pacific CDGM departments, in association with Effective Aid and Destiny Rescue International, will be launching its annual campaign as we embark on another empowering mission's trip to Thailand from 28 February until 1 March 2016.
Our focus is on alleviating the need for education for the children of Thailand. Through education, we help develop the minds of the children as well as introduce the word of God into their lives. When the Word of God is introduced in Thailand, it is introduced to their homes, villages, and communities. Christian education is at the center of this. Therefore, through the Cause Education program, we can see minds and lives changed, and ultimately, their world's changed. This year we are adding Destiny Rescue International Centre to our schedule. This will give the team a good opportunity to visit the Centre along with a visitation to local schools and churches in the area. As a part of the Prestige Ministry initiative, a site visit will be conducted in Bangkok where we will minister at their girls' homes as well as visit the Red Light District. The team will moreover take the girls gift shopping.
Education can break the cycle of poverty. We aim to provide basic school supplies, and between 60-100 laptops to existing schools, orphanages, and refugee camps.
Your donation will help equip the Creflo Dollar Global missions team to provide the necessary medicine for the children in orphanages and rescue camps.
In addition to supplying much needed food, our goal is to provide clothing and distribute hygiene kits to the children.

Instagram stories have become a spectacular way to boost your engagement and interaction with your followers. Take your profile to the next level with these apps that will help you create Instagram stories that are stunning and engaging, from photo collages to video!
Unfold is one of the OG Instagram template apps and is essential for any Instagrammer to have on their device! Quickly import photos and create sleek slides with customizable text.
Currently my favorite to create stories on the fly, Storyluxe offers a wide variety of templates to give your stories personality and branding. Storyluxe takes Unfold to the next level with expanded film stock and graphic style templates, in addition to their element templates.
An Adobe product, Spark Post instantly transforms you into a graphic designer with their professionally-designed templates and ability to resize graphics for other platforms. A big plus of Spark Post is that you can sync creations between devices, and also save branding colors and fonts for easy access. Spark Post also has some animation features and encourages you to share your designs to be "remixed" by other users.
I use Artist for my stories specifically for their effects, but it is also a powerful photo editing tool on its own. From adding faux shadows to bokeh, I love Artist for adding an extra pop and trendy feel to the pictures I use on my stories.
Hype Type had its hay day in 2018, but is still a useful tool to create eye catching Instagram stories. Fairly customizable, the animated text you can create with Hype Type is perfect for announcing new post, sales, and other exciting text based things you post about.
