World Fashion Ambassadors
Women who change the world
World Fashion Week® Guide to Working with "Goodwill Ambassadors"
As Goodwill Ambassadors for World Fashion Week, WF Ambassadors deliver goodwill or promote ideals from one entity to another, or to a population.
World Fashion Week's Global socioeconomic mission is to use the power of fashion as a tool for social and human development, especially focused in the eradication of FGM and extreme poverty by the empowerment of women in under developed areas in Africa. WF Ambassadors works on a variety of labels around the world to increase public awareness of Peace through Fashion and of World Fashion Week's work promoting those goals. Since celebrities began working with World Fashion Ambassadorship, they have helped sway government policies on behalf of fashion industry, publicize fashion industry's issues around the globe and provide with help for World Fashion Week - supported programs and partner global foundations.
Our relationship with celebrities, like all our work, is guided by World Fashion Week's vision and values, based on the World Fashion Week's Mission Statement and the priorities of World Fashion Week's Strategic Plan.

Celebrities and Cooperation with Private Sector
Since its inception, World Fashion Week's "Global Ambassadors" have been helping to facilitate Peace through Fashion around the world. By creating public awareness of fashion issues and helping to mobilize resources, the celebrities who work with us send a clear message that Fashion is best-suited as the facilitator for world peace and sustainable social growth.
This guide aims to help World Fashion Week offices and WFW National and Regional Chapters namely "World Fashion Partners" build and sustain the most effective and strategic relationships with celebrity Regents. It is intended especially for those who work in communications and external international relations. As our work continues to grow, we need to draw on our creativity and that of an ever-widening circle of friends to realize Fashion as expressed by the WFW's Development Goals, 'Fashion for Life' and World Fashion Week's Strategic Plan priorities.
I hope this document inspires you to think a new way to magnify the potential of celebrity relationships and to tap into that potential most effectively.
World Fashion Week Global Team
1. WFW Goodwill Ambassadors known as REGENTS GREATLY ENHANCE WORLD FASHION WEEK Global work.
World Fashion Week's Regent as Goodwill Ambassador is a collective term sometimes used as a substitute honorific title or a title of honor for an Ambassador of Goodwill; but, most appropriately for a generic recognition, it is a job position or description that is usually indicated following the name of the individual recognized in the position. As Goodwill ambassadors for World Fashion Week, WFW Regents generally deliver goodwill or promote ideals from one entity to another, or to a population.
World Fashion Week works with Regents on a variety of labels around the world to increase public awareness of Peace through Fashion and of World Fashion Week's work promoting those goals. Since celebrities began working with World Fashion Week, they have helped sway government policies on behalf of fashion industry, publicize fashion industry's issues around the globe and provide with help for World Fashion Week-supported programs such as World Fashion Week, World Fashion Exhibition, World Fashion Forum, World Fashion Photography and many others.
Our relationship with celebrities, like all our work, is guided by World Fashion Week's vision and values, based on the World Fashion Week's Global Objectives Statement and the priorities of World Fashion Week's Strategic Plan for a sustainable and socioeconomic global growth.
A set of World Fashion Week rules has been developed to guide the appointment and management of any Regent affiliated with a WFW. These rules are reflected in the World Fashion Week guidelines and are attached as an appendix.
These guidelines will help World Fashion Week offices and WFW National and Regional Chapters namely World Fashion Partners recruit Regents and manage successful relationships with them in support of World Fashion Week's mission and goals.
2. WHO ARE World Fashion Week REGENTS?
World Fashion Week® Regents are global well-known personalities willing to do their utmost to mobilize support for fashion industry among the general public and within their industry. These volunteers have a unique ability to touch people's hearts with their passion and commitment.
Some have worked with World Fashion Week for a long time, demonstrating a high level of commitment to fashion industry global growth. Most represent specialized fields in the fashion, arts, sports and contemporary culture. WFW Regents are globally-known personalities recruited by World Fashion Week's Headquarters to work on humanitarian and socioeconomic campaigns around the world;
WFW's Ambassadors & Regents are chosen because they:
Demonstrate an active commitment to promoting the rights of World's fashion industry and to furthering World Fashion Week's mission in building a world fit for promoting global fair-trade and WFW's humanitarian voice "Fashion for Life".
Are committed to the values and principles set forth in the WFW Global vision and other humanitarian guidelines championed by World Fashion Week.
Exemplify good citizenship and are passionate, courageous, inspiring, caring, principled, credible, and capable of acting as influential advocates for World's fashion industry.
Demonstrate leadership in their professions and a willingness to use their professional prestige and networks to promote the cause of World's fashion industry.
Represent positive role models for young people in particular.
Are articulate and genuinely interested in the issues, and willing to learn more through briefings and field visits, sometimes those involving difficult circumstances in remote territories.
In addition to ascertaining how well candidates meet the WFW's Global Ambassador & Regent criteria above, several qualities are considered:
Ability to reach specific audiences, including young people. Factors such as age, current following and previous work are considered.
Special talents and experience and a willingness to contribute to activities such as public awareness on fashion for the peace, promoting causes or influencing public officials. For example, Hollywood stars, sports and mass-media celebrities may be particularly suited to disseminate messages to young people, whereas academics may be adept at influencing supporters and policy makers. Political people may prove to be an asset with public awareness on "fashion for life".
Reputation and integrity. World Fashion Week looks for individuals who share the same global goals and ideals.
3. REGENTS' TITLES AND SPECIAL FUNCTIONS
Regents serve in three categories:
WFW's Global Regents, These are internationally renowned celebrities with broad appeal who work globally on campaigns and events and interact with key World Fashion Week's partners and constituencies. In addition to activities generated by WFW, they are often invited to work on campaigns and events by WFW National and Regional Events namely World Fashion Events and World Fashion Week's regional and national offices.
WFW's Regentsare given this title because they have generally served for a long time or have demonstrated intense dedication to its mission and goals as most distinguished global leaders.
WFW's Regional and National Regents. These are celebrities with strong local appeal and constituencies, who are affiliated with WFW National and Regional Partners or WFW Regional Offices and work within the nation or region of their recruitment.
WFW's Honorary Spokespeople/Special Representatives/MC. Increasingly, celebrities work short term with World Fashion Week on a specific campaign, event or issue at the international or regional/country level. Responsibility for managing these celebrities lies with the World Fashion Week division or sector that recruits them. The Celebrity Relations and Special Events Section of Headquarters' Division of Communication (Division of Communication) should be kept informed of these partnerships.
Special Representatives represent fields of interest and expertise and appeal to specific constituencies - sports fans, for example - in a way that can further World Fashion Week's work and enhance its partnerships.
4. HOW REGENTS ARE NOMINATED
Grand Regents are nominated internationally at World Fashion Week Headquarters through the Celebrity Relations and Special Events Section of the Division of Communication and PR, and;
Recommendation - Grand Regents: Candidates for Grand Regents are recommended to the World Fashion Week Headquarters for approval two months before designation and within which time the WFW Executive Office is informed of the intention to appoint them. Recommendations come from WFW Regional Offices, WFW National and Regional Chapters namely World Fashion Partners and other offices and individuals.
Regional/National Regents: When WFW National and Regional Chapters wish to appoint a National or Regional Regent, they should inform the WFW's HQ Celebrity Relations Section in Division of Communication at least four weeks in advance of designation, provide a biography and explain the role the person will be expected to play.
Change in status from Regional/National to Global Regent: World Fashion Week welcomes the opportunity that arises when a National or Regional Regent is chosen to become Global Regent. This appointment must be done in close cooperation between the Celebrity Relations Section and the WFW National Chapter or WFW Regional Office with which the candidate is currently affiliated. The appointment follows the usual procedure for Global Regents.
Invitation to participate - Global Regents: Once World Fashion Week's Headquarters has approved a nomination for Regent, the candidate is officially offered the appointment.
Regional/National Regents: Once the Executive Senior Staff in a WFW National Chapter Office has approved a nomination and informed the Celebrity Relations Section at Headquarters, they officially offer the appointment to the celebrities with an official letter of designation.
Detailed briefing: Once a candidate has shown interest in becoming a Regent, he or she is briefed by the Chief of the Celebrity Relations Section on expectations about the relationship and levels of commitment required; how the relationship will be managed; financial aspects of the relationship and what costs can and cannot be covered. Candidates should be given ample opportunities to ask questions and make suggestions.
Global Regents: Candidates meet with Executive Senior Staff to be briefed on the Brand values, vision, mission and mandate of World Fashion Week and the roles they will play. The briefing is given by a member of the Headquarters' executive senior management team, the person directly responsible for managing the relationship with the celebrity.
Regional/National Regents: A briefing by senior staff should take place at field and WFW National Chapter offices for National and Regional Regents.
Letter of Designation
Global Regents: Once the candidate accepts the invitation to become a Regent, the Celebrity Relations Section issues the Letter of Designation. The agreement is for two years, renewable upon mutual consent. Regional/National Regents: Regional and National Regents generally sign a one-year agreement renewable upon mutual consent. Their Letter of Designation is drawn up by the Celebrity Relations Section and is a replica of the one used for Global Regents.
Global Regents: The World Fashion Week's Headquarters then sends a formal letter inviting the candidate to join in a partnership with World Fashion Week, describing the title and role the celebrity will have and any particular issue/s he or she will work on. On a case by case basis a letter of invitation could be issued by the President/CEO of World Fashion Week.
In the letter the role of the Regent and World Fashion Week's mission will be explained.
Regional/National Regents: The letter of invitation may be signed by the Regional Director, country Representative or other senior staff member.
Global Regents: A new Global Regent receives a letter of thanks and welcome from the World Fashion Week's Headquarters and Director of Division of Communication, and this is followed by a press release announcing the appointment. Once all paperwork is completed and orientation activities have taken place, the new Regent should be asked to participate in an important campaign or event immediately so that he or she feels encouraged and involved as a new member of the World Fashion Week team.
Regional/National Regents: A letter of thanks and welcome will come from the Head of WFW National Chapter or other appointed senior staff member.
5. BUILDING MUTUALLY REWARDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH REGENTS
For all events and campaigns involving Regents, it is vital to ensure that they receive the hospitality and appreciation that will help them fulfill their role and value their contribution to World Fashion Week.
Help celebrities stay informed about, and involved in, World Fashion Week's strategic thinking and keep them up to date about what is happening in the field. They should routinely receive World Fashion Week press releases and honorary speeches, access to the WFW Online Network, invitations to conferences or briefing events, World Fashion Week reports, publications and news and video clips of World Fashion Week programs and events.
Encourage Regents to find their niche at World Fashion Week and to participate in various media activities for World Fashion Week; video/television appearances; public awareness on fashion for the peace initiatives; launches of flagship reports and publications and the World Fashion Week Website.
To improve the planning and strategic use of celebrity activities, and to ensure Brand expression in celebrity involvement, the Celebrity Relations Section will conduct an annual review of World Fashion Week's partnerships with International, Regional and National Regents. The review will also evaluate candidates recommended to be Regents. Staff from senior management, the Division of Communication, Program Division and WFW National & Regional Chapters will be invited to participate, along with Regents themselves where possible.
6. HOW TO PLAN AND MANAGE SUCCESSFUL VISITS AND EVENTS
The visits of Regents - to the field or to events sponsored by WFW National and Regional Chapters namely World Fashion Partners or Regional Offices - can provide significant support to an office's ongoing work, draw public attention to an emergency situation or a specific campaign, and strengthen advocacy and fundraising activities. Such visits can be initiated by Headquarters, a WFW Regional office or a WFW National Chapter.
Because there is a growing number of celebrity spokespeople working for the WFW and its agencies, it is important to share information and coordinate activities, especially with respect to celebrity field visits.
Global Regents: All planning, logistics, press events and other details of field visits by Global Regents should be reviewed by and coordinated with the Headquarters' Celebrity Relations Section in Division of Communication. Regional/National Regents: Details of visits of Regents associated with National or Regional Offices or WFW National Chapter should be reviewed by senior staff in that office.
WFW National Chapter and other events
A WFW National Chapter inviting a Regent to participate in an event should fill the request form and provide the following information:
1) The type and purpose of the event, target audience within the WFW National Chapter country, other participants, organizers, expected media coverage, date, time and location; and
2) the budget for celebrity involvement. The requesting party is expected to cover all travel and associated costs for the celebrity.
Field visits of Global Regents
Field visits involving Global Regents can take a variety of forms and are initiated by 1) Headquarters; 2) a WFW Regional Office; or
3) a WFW National Chapter.
The steps may be helpful for planning visits of Regional and National Regents. However, for details on how to plan and manage field visits involving National and Regional Regents, please contact the relevant WFW Regional Office or WFW National Chapter.
All requests for visits must be made through the Celebrity Relations Section of Division of Communication at Headquarters. No Regents should be contacted directly. It is important to make the request as far in advance as possible, as most work plans are established in January for the calendar year. Where appropriate, requests will be discussed with Program Division and other relevant divisions at HQ. When a request is approved, the Celebrity Relations Section will contact the WFW Regional Office Representative or Head of WFW National Chapter in the proposed host country to discuss the proposal and obtain the names of senior staff who will coordinate the visit.
Travel arrangements. These are made in consultation with Headquarters. As a general rule, Regents enjoy the same duty travel privileges as WFW senior executive members, including business-class travel for long flights. A Global Regent may be entitled to first-class flight travel for health reasons.
It is important to keep the celebrity's entourage as small as possible. A Regent should be encouraged to cover travel costs for companions, except in the case of a recognized partner who will be willing to participate in public appearances for World Fashion Week. This partner should be invited to all events.
Global Regents are granted the appropriate WFW travel documents upon their appointment. Depending on the circumstances, a recognized partner of a celebrity traveling on a specific World Fashion Week field visit can be issued a WFW Travel certificate for the duration of the mission. The Celebrity Relations Section encourages Regents to obtain visas in their country of origin. However, if a celebrity cannot do this because of travel and professional commitments, either the Celebrity Relations Section or the requesting office will obtain the visas.
A staff member from Celebrity Relations Section, WFW Regional Office, WFW National Chapter and/or from the Media Section usually accompanies a Regent on a field mission. Regents are also often accompanied to WFW National Chapter events, depending on the experience of the celebrity and the importance of the event. Itinerary.
The Head of WFW National Chapter usually assigns a senior staff member in a WFW Regional Office overall responsibility for a Regent's visit, while other colleagues brief and accompany the celebrity to projects as needed. The officer in charge of the visit will liaise with the Celebrity Relations Section on all details of the visit. The itinerary needs to be comprehensive and include a contingency plan. Remember that extra time should be scheduled for visitors to recuperate from jetlag, for translation during project visits and for rest periods between functions. Try to schedule courtesy calls with high-ranking government officials, who are likely to increase visibility and enhance the chances of the success of the visit; otherwise keep courtesy calls to a minimum. Depending on the circumstances and budget of the WFW National Chapter, the World Fashion Week Representative frequently hosts a reception or a dinner in honor of the celebrity. This not only is not a courtesy to the guest but also provides a good networking opportunity with senior government officials, the supporter community, NGO and other partners.
Information about the country and projects. The Regent should receive brief summaries of projects, including details about World Fashion Week's role, and background information on the economic and social conditions in the country visited. Celebrities also need guidance on climatic conditions and appropriate clothing to wear, including for occasions that might require formal dress. They should be informed of local customs or cultural requirements/taboos that could have a bearing on their dress or conduct.
Costs. All costs associated with the visit will be covered by the office that initiates the request. The costs include travel, hotel accommodation, food and on-the-ground transport, security and should be paid directly to service providers, thus avoiding a direct transfer of funds to the Regent.
The budget should also include costs of any stylist, hairdresser and make-up artist for a press day, video shoot or fundraising event. Celebrities have a public image to protect and their public appearances often require careful staging.
Regents should be offered the option whenever possible to place phone calls from the World Fashion Week office or a World Fashion Week-provided mobile phone to avoid expensive telephone fees charged by a hotel.
Maximizing publicity
Before, during and after the field visit, the Celebrity Relations and Special Events Section or appropriate office will work closely with the Media Section, the Regional office and the WFW Regional Office to identify key messages and co-ordinate media coverage and publicity. There are several key areas of media exposure:
National Media. Depending on local circumstances, WFW National Chapters are expected to mobilize national television and print media in advance of a visit. Background information about the Regent, including copies of a biography, video footage and photographs, should be provided in advance to the office.
International Media. Media and Communication staff secure placement of stories and television or print interviews during the visit. For visits involving Global Regents, HQ media staff will play a lead role. Depending on the scale and type of the field visit, the trip is pitched to a limited number of large publications and media outlets. The composition might include, for example, a magazine feature writer and photographer, TV crew (often it is best to arrange a newswire such as Reuters or Associated Press to cover the event to ensure the largest distribution) and a print journalist.
Press Conferences. If appropriate, two press conferences are arranged by the WFW National Chapter during the visit– one at the airport on arrival, to talk about the purpose of the visit, and the other at the end of the visit, to talk about highlights of the trip and anticipated follow-up. It is important to note that Regents are not expected to have in-depth knowledge of a country program, and the Representative or Information/Communication officer must be on hand to answer any detailed questions. Questions about the celebrity's personal life must be discouraged. Individual interviews are welcomed.
Video Footage. Any video footage taken of the Regent's visit should be pitched to a newswire and go out on an international feed. Footage should also be made available to World Fashion Week for distribution to WFW National and Regional Chapters namely World Fashion Partners or WFW Regional Offices. For visits of Global Regents, video coverage should be discussed and coordinated through HQ's Division of Communication Broadcast Unit in consultation with the WFW Regional Office, and Media and Celebrity Relations Sections.
Photos. For visits of Global Regents, the HQ Photo Unit can arrange for photo coverage of one or two celebrity field visits each year, covering the cost of the photographer, film, development and distribution of photos to WFW Regional Offices and WFW National and Regional Chapters. Additional photo coverage should be done in consultation with the Photo Unit.
Field visit follow-up - A press day or conference, where appropriate, should be set up soon after the Regent's return to his or her home country, in consultation with the Media Section and the celebrity. This could take the form of an informal briefing, a press conference, or one-on-one interviews and can take place in a Headquarters location or in a city near the celebrity's residence.
In addition, wherever feasible, a meeting should be arranged between the celebrity and the Chief Executive Officer or another member of senior management to discuss impressions, outcome and follow-up to the field visit.
Finally, a follow-up package must be sent immediately to the celebrity containing press coverage, a report on any funds raised as a result of the visit, and a letter of thanks from the Chief Executive Officer or WFW National Chapter/WFW Regional Office senior staff person, explaining exactly how the trip made an impact.
7. CELEBRITIES AND COOPERATION WITH PRIVATE SECTOR
Occasionally requests are made for Regents to endorse commercial products to assist in public awareness on fashion for the peace efforts for World Fashion Week.
The following guidelines apply:
World Fashion Week HQ may approach Regents in cooperation with the host country WFW National Chapter. The host country WFW National Chapter will advise Division of Communication about the intended project, including the celebrity's role and third party (company or Brand) relationship to World Fashion Week, to ensure coordination, but World Fashion Week HQ will be responsible for approving individual projects. The participating WFW National and Regional Chapters will handle approaching the celebrities and related logistics.


You must make reservations at least 5 minutes in advance of the time at Copacabana Brazilian Steak House - Niagara Falls.
Samba shows take you on a trip to Brazil's Carnival, showcasing the glamour, rhythm and color that is Samba.
Capoeira show, Brazilian martial art combining the excitement of fight, acrobatics, dance and music.
Friday Shows 7:30, 8:30 & 9:30.
Saturday Shows 6:45, 8:45 & 9:45.
Your experience at Copacabana begins with a trip to our "Galleria" where you will be tempted by fresh baked breads and dips from our open concept bakery; fresh cheeses cut from the wheel, and expertly hand sliced charcuterie selections. Help yourself to as much crisp salads and colorful starters you want, but leave room: Your experience is just beginning.
Back at your table our Gauchos or Carvers will service you with a feast of various CAB (Certified Angus) grilled meats prepared in a number of ways. Simply tell your carver how you prefer your meat, (most come medium rare) and leave the rest to us!
There is only one small task for you...As your Gaucho is Cutting at your table, use your provided tongs to simply grasp the top slab of meat and assist as he thinly slices a perfect cut of meat onto your plate, enjoy…and repeat as many times as you like!
Good food and varieties of meat but not worth the price.
It cost us $200, and the meat guys kept jumping our table. The variety of meat was poor (only beef ribs, cheese beef, chicken drumsticks, pineapple, cornbread and lamb came to the table). I spent $50 to eat terrible Cesar salad and 2 pieces of beef ribs .... That's it. They stuck everyone up in the same area, so it was so noisy I couldn't hear my friend on the otherside of the table. No... I'd never recommend this place to anyone.
The staff here was so nice. I opted only for the salad bar butthey made sure to offer me lots of pineapple lol. This place is very expensive, but that is to be expected in this area. We enjoyed the Samba show. And obviously the meats were great (according to my family).
Had a wonderful time..all the staff were terrific and the food was excellent! Our new go to place for sure.
It was Easter dinner with family, meal was great, first time experience for all of us. Great food, impressive service!
Always a great place to pig out! The many different kinds of meat give a great variety and they keep coming!
The rodizio service was a bit slow in the beginning which impacted our overall dining experience a bit. Only after we had let our waitress know, we had more servers coming to our table. The food and atmosphere was great otherwise. If you do enjoy Salsa dancing and louder music, they do over live performances but as this was not of interest for us, it got quite noisy at that time. All in all a wonderful and very satisfying experience though.
Great meat and salad buffet.
The food was great and the servers were attentive! We were very happy!
The salads from the buffet were really great, so much so that even though we were incredibly full at the end of the meal, we all went back for seconds. Love the idea of them coming around with meat on spits (made for a different experience) but for the high price tag, we were less than impressed with the meat that came around. I had to leave half of the meat that I was served on my plate because it was very very fatty and inedible. Dont get me wrong, some cuts were fantastic but again...for the cuts of meat that were fantastic vs the cuts that weren't really edible...it wasnt worth what I paid for the meal.
Service was excellent. The pineapple was a must-try and out of the world.
Similar to other Brazilian steak houses I've been to, although not the best. The salad bar variety was not as large as others I've been too, but it was sufficient. Besides, people come to these restaurants for the meats. The meats were good, but I didn't find them outstanding. There was some varieties that I didn't find as tasty (the barbecue one and chimichurri come to mind), but there were others that were fine.
The atmosphere was okay, it wasn't busy, and our server (Nina) was very nice.
The evening was great. Our first time and the server had no problem explaining everything to us.
We came to celebrate a birthday. It was the first time for most of our party. I hadn't been there in 10 yrs because that experience wasn't that enjoyable. This visit was different. The food was great. Our server was fabulous. We will definitely come back. Thank you for making our celebration special.
Food and service was amazing, table was ready upon arrival, would've given a "5" across the board but the salad bar was kinda small without as many options as I would expect given the pricing. I'm keto, so choices were limited to 2 items total from the salad bar. Otherwise, the meat was spectacular and service and presentation also exceeded my expectations. I do recommend!
Was looking forward to dancers but there was none on Thursday's.
The steaks were amazing, great spot for a date. Workers were really nice and funny. The pineapple was amazing too, need to find the recipe. Definitely come with an appetite!
The food was absolutely amazing throughout the night. Service was good, but the one carver Max was exceptional. He went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and tried everything we wanted to try. He was so generous.
Amazing! Always a go to for us when we are in town. Never fails to be delicious and the staff are so nice! We went on a slower night so it was quiet but we also love going on the weekends and seeing the dancers. It's a must visit while at the falls!
Loved the staff loved the food loved the atmosphere. We will be back !
The first time we were here it was amazing.
This past weekend visit left a lot to be desired.
Some of the meat, like the lamb and bacon wrapped filet minon and some leftover pieces of meat, seemed to be off leaving bad tastes in the mouth that ended up in the napkins instead.
There seemed to be some staff turmoil.
Our table was a 4 made into a 5 with little pull-up leaves that were lopsided and we had to hold onto our plates so they wouldnt fall off the table.
Amazing selection of meats and all the waiters and waitresses were so kind ! Only thing is I wish the selection at the buffet part was a little larger, but at the same time you do not want to fill up on other stuff when there are such wonderful meats. Cannot wait to go back again !
Meat was delicious! Buffet bar was pretty good, but not the best we have had at other Brazilian steak houses. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
This was our first time at Copacabana. What an amazing experience! We will definitely be back! Don't skip the grilled pineapple, it will change your life!
I cannot say enough good things about Copacabana Brazilian Steak House!!
We were visiting Niagara Falls for my birthday and this was recommended by the locals as the place to go -- and I have to say, We were definitely not disappointed.
From the service the minute we walked in, to the spectacular selection of meats, to the manager making his rounds and welcoming each table personally, this restaurant truly blew all others out of the water!
It was my first time in Copacabana and I cannot say how great it was! All foods and salads are fresh and tasty, service is super-fast, and staff are super-friendly.
They were not busy but did not accommodate without reminders comments in booking sections for special requests. (I asked for booth because of disability in hearing, but they did not seat us there even though they had open booths.) We booked for 830 dinner on a Thursday. There was only one person with meat visiting tables as of 1000pm. By 1030pm, he just walked up and asked what we wanted to be finished. When he returned with meat, he was rude and said we "could just have it all" because we were close to last in restaurant to leave. The tone was terrible. We were an inconvenience for even sending in orders with one server. It was unacceptable service. Just rude and ignorant. I would rather the restaurant cancel on me last minute than paying for this.
Outstanding dinner! Waitress and meat carvers were wonderful! Highly recommend.
Awesome food! Great portions, despite the variety of meats!
Food was great. Little wait for meat servers sometimes. But left full and content.
Everything was fantastic- only minor complaint was having to wait 20 minutes despite having a reservation. Amazing service from the waitress.
Great service, food was fantastic. Definitely recommend making reservations, and allocating at least 1.5 - 2 hours for dinner. Come hungry!
Had a great time and the food was delicious.

Q: Wald confidence interval in gtsummary Is there a way to specify the method of calculating confidence interval in gtsummary. Am asking this because of some inconsistencies with profile confidence intervals by confint fuction.
Have a look at the pvalues and CIs of var1 and var2 below:
library(tidyverse)
library(gtsummary)

set.seed(2021)

testdata <- tibble(
  var1 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.12),
  var2 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.82),
  var3 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.60),
  var4 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.18),
  var5 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.12),
  var6 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.05),
  var7 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.63),
  var8 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.20),
  var9 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.06),
  var10 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.40),
  var11 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.35),
  var12 = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.32),
  outcome = rbinom(1114, 1, 0.04)
) %>%
  mutate(across(.cols = everything(),
                ~factor(., levels = c(0, 1),
                        labels = c("No", "Yes"))))

mvariate.regress <- function(outcome, covariates, mydata) {
  form <- paste(outcome, "~",
                paste(covariates, collapse = " + "))

  model1 <- glm(as.formula(form),
                data = mydata, family = binomial)

  model1

}

ipvars <- paste0("var", 1:12)

mlogitfit <- mvariate.regress("outcome", ipvars, testdata)

mlogitfit %>%
  tbl_regression(
    exponentiate = TRUE
  ) %>%
  bold_p() %>%
  bold_p(t = 0.05) %>%
  bold_labels() %>%
  modify_header(label = "**Variable**",
                estimate = "**adjusted OR**") %>%
  modify_table_styling(
    columns = c("ci", "estimate"),
    rows = reference_row %in% TRUE,
    missing_symbol = "Ref"
  )

I would get the desired results if I were to use confint.default function

A: The gtstummary package website has a solution to this. Look for "Wald confidence interval" here or see below for the my_tidy function from there. You can calculate the Wald confidence interval separately and bind it to the table.
my_tidy <- function(x, exponentiate =  TRUE, conf.level = 0.95, ...) {
  dplyr::bind_cols(
    broom::tidy(x, exponentiate = exponentiate, conf.int = FALSE),
    # calculate the confidence intervals, and save them in a tibble
    stats::confint.default(x) %>%
      tibble::as_tibble() %>%
      rlang::set_names(c("conf.low", "conf.high"))  )
}

mlogitfit %>%
  tbl_regression(tidy_fun = my_tidy) %>%
  bold_p() %>%
  bold_p(t = 0.05) %>%
  bold_labels() %>%
  modify_header(label = "**Variable**",
                estimate = "**adjusted OR**") %>%
  modify_table_styling(
    columns = c("ci", "estimate"),
    rows = reference_row %in% TRUE,
    missing_symbol = "Ref"
  )

Q: How to add Elastic APM integration from API/CMD/configuration file I've created a docker-compose file with some configurations that deploy Elasticsearch, Kibana, Elastic Agent all version 8.7.0.
where in the Kibana configuration files I define the police I needed under xpack.fleet.agentPolicies, with single command all my environment goes up and all component connect successfully.
The only issue is there is one manual step, which is I had to go to Kibana -> Observability -> APM -> Add Elastic APM and then fill the Server configuration.
I want to automate this and manage this from the API/CMD/configuration file, I don't want to do it from the UI.
What is the way to do this? in which component? what is the path the configuration should be at?
I tried to look for APIs or command to do that, but with no luck. I'm expecting help with automating the remaning step.
#Update 1
I've tried to add it as below, but I still can't see the integration added.
    package_policies:
      - name: fleet_server-apm
        id: default-fleet-server
        package:
          name: fleet_server
        inputs:
          - type: apm
            enabled: true
            vars:
              - name: host
                value: "0.0.0.0:8200"
              - name: url
                value: "http://0.0.0.0:8200"
              - name: enable_rum
                value: true
                frozen: true

A: Tldr;
Yes, I believe there is a way to do it.
But I am pretty sure this is poorly documented.
You can find some idea in the repository of apm-server
Solution
In the kibana.yml file you can add some information related to fleet.
This section below is taken from the repository above and helped me set up apm automatically.
But if you have some specific settings you would like to see enable I am usure where you provide them.

xpack.fleet.packages:
  - name: fleet_server
    version: latest
xpack.fleet.agentPolicies:
  - name: Fleet Server (APM)
    id: fleet-server-apm
    is_default_fleet_server: true
    is_managed: false
    namespace: default
    package_policies:
      - name: fleet_server-apm
        id: default-fleet-server
        package:
          name: fleet_server

A: It is true that the kibana Fleet API is very poorly documented at this moment. I think your problem is that you are trying to add the variables to the fleet-server package insted of the apm package. Your yaml should look like this:
package_policies:
      - name: fleet_server-apm
        id: default-fleet-server
        package:
          name: fleet_server
      - name: apm-1
        package:
          name: apm
        inputs:
          - type: apm
            keep_enabled: true
            vars:
              - name: host
                value: 0.0.0.0:8200
                frozen: true
              - name: url
                value: "http://0.0.0.0:8200"
                frozen: true
              - name: enable_rum
                value: true
                frozen: true

Regehr warmed up with the team Game Jerseys China 7 against the Blackhawks and prior to Game 1 of the Cup Final, but remained the press box for the game. There are fingers to point and most tend to land on the starting quarterback.

Bitcoin "end game" a mathematical certainty even as Japanese and Korean noobs convince kindergarten teachers they've stumbled upon a magical source of endless wealth
Monday, June 05, 2017 by: Mike Adams
Tags: bitcoin, blockchain, Japanese, Korean, mania, speculation
(Natural News) A quick mathematical analysis of Bitcoin and the world of crypto-currencies: After plunging nearly 30% last week in a severe correction, Bitcoin has since surged back to the $2800 range, this time riding a wave of optimism from Bitcoin noobs in Japan and South Korea who have become irrationally convinced that Bitcoin is a replacement for their retirement savings (see Reuters report, below). Now, even kindergarten teachers are throwing money at Bitcoin, believing they've discovered a magical source of unlimited wealth (yep, they really believe it's all different this time).
Little do they know they are going to lose nearly everything when the Bitcoin end game rears its ugly head, as has already been mathematically programmed into the system. How's that, exactly?
For starters, due to increased volume, Bitcoin transactional costs have now skyrocketed from roughly $16 per transaction to $23.30 per transaction in just the past week or so, according to Blockchain.info. This is a transactional cost increase of over 30% in just a few days, and it demonstrates the stress of the increasing volume of transactions on the distributed blockchain ledger. It is yet more mathematical evidence that selling Bitcoin and exiting the market in a time of high trading volume will be increasingly expensive and difficult, with long delays on transactions that could require days or even weeks to be confirmed.
Bitcoin mining will collapse in the next few years, and the blockchain will follow
Bitcoin will approach its "end game" in the next decade when all Bitcoin mining permanently ceases due to the mathematical limit of 21 million Bitcoins in circulation. (The mining algorithm allows no more than 21 million coins to exist.) In the last 24 hours, 1,850 Bitcoins were successfully mined. This is equivalent to approximately 675,000 Bitcoins in a year, accounting for parallel increases in computational difficulty and enhancements in ASIC mining rigs that carry out hashing calculations more efficiently.
As Bitcoins are limited to a grand total of 21 million Bitcoins, and given that nearly 16.4 million Bitcoins are already mined, this means that if the current mining computational infrastructure keeps pace with the increasing mathematical difficulty for achieving Bitcoin rewards, all Bitcoins will be mined out in about seven years (by roughly 2024). (There are difficulty adjustments in the Bitcoin algorithm, so it might take longer, but Bitcoin mining is approaching an end point in the very near future.)
Once Bitcoin's block mining rewards are no longer available, mining operations will subsist entirely on transaction fees, which currently represent just 19.34% of the earned miner revenue for Bitcoin mining operations. In other words, rewards will collapse by 80% for Bitcoin miners, making nearly all mining operations unprofitable. This, in turn, will lead to a rapid loss of mining capacity, subjecting the blockchain to an ever-increasing barrage of 51% attacks which will fork the blockchain ledger and obliterate the integrity of the blockchain. (Note: If you don't know what terms like "hashing" and "51% attacks" and "blockchain" really mean, you have no business owning Bitcoin.)
Once this happens, the blockchain and mining infrastructure self-destructs, and everybody heads for the exits in search of the next "big thing," causing Bitcoin prices to plunge toward zero.
Or, alternatively, the Bitcoin community decides to change the rules of Bitcoin and open it up to unlimited mining (erasing the 21 million coin limit), effectively engaging in "quantitative easing" policy fraud just like the Central Banks, instantly obliterating any trust in the scarcity of Bitcoins and devaluing all the Bitcoin already in existence. In essence, raising the Bitcoin mining limit would be the massive theft of Bitcoin value from those who already own Bitcoin. A "virtual heist," in effect.
Either way, Bitcoin comes to a catastrophic end. This is mathematically engineered into the system.
Kindergarten teachers in Japan now convinced that Bitcoin is a magical, rainbow-powered unicorn for earning money without effort
Of course, noob Bitcoin speculators in Japan and Korea don't understand any of this, so they don't comprehend the risk they are undertaking when they trade in their retirement funds for virtual currencies. "…[B]itcoin is going mainstream in Asia, attracting Mrs Watanabe – the metaphorical Japanese housewife investor – South Korean retirees and thousands of others trying to escape rock-bottom savings rates by investing in the cryptocurrency," reports Reuters. "Asia's moms and pops, already regular investors in stock and futures markets, have been dazzled by bitcoin's 100 percent surge so far this year."
Reuters covers the Bitcoin mania as follows:
"After I first heard about the bitcoin scheme, I was so excited I couldn't sleep. It's like buying a dream," said Mutsuko Higo, a 55-year-old Japanese social insurance and labor consultant who bought around 200,000 yen ($1800) worth of bitcoin in March to supplement her retirement savings.
"Everyone says we can't rely on Japanese pensions anymore," she said. "This worries me, so I started bitcoins."
"Right now, it's a form of speculation, like stocks," said Park Hyo-jin, a 27-year-old South Korean who owns around 3 million won ($2,700) of bitcoin. "I don't think anybody in South Korea buys bitcoin to use it."
Rachel Poole, a Hong Kong-based kindergarten teacher, said she read about bitcoin in the press, and bought five bitcoins in March for around HK$40,000 ($5,100) after studying blogs on the topic. She kept four as an investment and has made HK$12,000 tax-free trading the fifth after classes.
"I wish I'd done it earlier," she said.
Yep, kindergarten teachers are now buying Bitcoins and thinking they should have bought in earlier. If this isn't a sure sign of a "mania" bubble in the process of heading toward a catastrophic collapse, then nothing is. The Bitcoin mania has even spawned multi-level marketing "pyramid" schemes across Asia, where Bitcoins are the "reward" for recruiting others to blindly buy into the system:
The bitcoin frenzy has spawned scams, with police in South Korea last month uncovering a $55 million cryptocurrency pyramid scheme that sucked in thousands of homemakers, workers and self-employed businessmen seduced by slick marketing and promises of wealth.
Seminars in Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong promote similar multi-level marketing schemes that require investors to pay an upfront membership fee of as much as $9,000. Members are encouraged to promote the cryptocurrency and bring in new members in return for some bitcoins and other benefits.
The funny thing about all Ponzi schemes, however, is that they all end in catastrophe. It's just a matter of how many fools can be suckered into the scheme before it reaches a point of unsustainable irrational exhuberance, after which the collapse is almost instantaneous.
I hope I don't have to be the one to tell Mrs. Watanabe that she's going to lose everything when Bitcoin mania comes to its inevitable end. When the vast majority of new suckers entering the Ponzi scheme are total noobs, you know the mania bubble is approaching its inevitable collapse.
Bottom line? Don't get caught holding Bitcoins when the music stops.

Nederland ISD has been sued by the alliance defense fund who is representing Michael Metcalf, the father of a 3rd grade student at Hillcrest Elementary School who was prohibited from giving a classmate friend and invitation to go to church with him.
This is a constitutional free speech violation and it appears that the only reason the child was barred from passing out the card was due to the fact that it was a Christian card.
Where does the school think they can prohibit a student from inviting a fellow student to a church event after school hours and off of school grounds? The school doesn't prohibit kids from passing out other invitations like birthday party invitations.
We are not talking about a teacher trying to persuade a kid to believe in one religion over another. We are talking about a student asking another student to go to church with him. If the parent does not want the kid to go to church then the parent can say no.
Banning a student from inviting another student to an out of school church event is especially silly because students can start a Christian club and have a Christian meeting AT A SCHOOL as long as it is not during class time. I remember going to a student led Lumberton Raiders for Christ meeting before school every week, and we even got to invite fellow students to go!
Maybe there is something in the water in southeast Texas because within a year I have posted articles about 2 other schools that have had incidents where a student or teacher was treated unfairly based on their Christian or political beliefs.
Things are really getting out of control when SOUTHEAST TEXAS schools jump on the liberal progressive bandwagon. This is the last bastion of religious freedom down here. Until Obama got in office they never even thought of coming after our schools or people. They knew we'd fight rather than give in no matter the cost.
It does seem a bit odd that a teacher would do this, I wonder why it has become illegal or at least against the school policy to chastise a child for wanting a friend to attend an event off school grounds and outside of school hours. Since when has a school become the monitor of free speech rights for children? They will force our kids to sing songs of praise to Pres. Obama, to learn all about Islam, but when it comes to Christianity, that is no longer free speech.
Yes, that's right--you're losing. Get used to it. The Culture Wars were over a long time ago and your side lost. Small-mindedness always loses out to, well, progress.


Here at Dardis Communications, our instructors are receiving an unprecedented number of inquiries about writing for the web – from how to craft better blog posts to how to leverage them on social media.
I like to focus on two sure-fire methods to expand your reach: hashtags and headlines. These are powerful mechanisms to casting a wider net on the web.
Let's begin with headlines. It doesn't matter how good your content is, if you don't write a compelling headline, no one will read it. This applies to headlines at the top of a blog post or a Facebook post as well as the 140 characters chosen in a tweet, which function as a headline.
A headline should entice and also invite – that is, it shouldn't be daunting. That's why numbers work so well. When your body copy is a list, use numerals rather than spelling out the number: 7 reasons, 20 tips. Placing the number at the beginning of the headline draws in more readers.
Don't forget that your analytics can provide a study in headlines. Review which headlines generated the most traffic and look for patterns. Were they shorter? Did they pose questions? Use a first-person voice? Tag others?
The use of hashtags is also a simple way to boost traffic on social media. The key to effective hashtags is choosing something that's not too broad. For instance, a business selling baby products could skip #parents and instead use #newmom.
Keep your hashtags short and straightforward. This isn't the place to be offbeat.
Poke around online to see what others in your industry are doing. See what hashtags your colleagues and competitors are using and make them your own.
Brand hashtags do not have to mention your name, but rather, represent your brand. That's why the Iowa Tourism Office created the popular hashtag #ThisIsIowa. It's easy to remember, and it feels more authentic.
When it comes to writing for the web, if you're getting your headlines and hashtags right, you can't go wrong.


For those who have not read the first installment of Lotte's story, a brief recap: Lotte grew up in Mannheim, Germany, with her parents, Joseph and Aennie (Winter) Wiener and her older sister Doris. Her father Joseph was a doctor in Mannheim, and her family was living a comfortable life there. Lotte was an excellent student and was enjoying a good life until the Nazis came to power in 1933.
It was a foregone conclusion that I spent most of my Christmas and Easter and also a couple of summer vacations at my grandparents' house. I never was asked whether I wanted to go there. If so, the answer would have been "yes". I liked them.
They lived in Neunkirchen in the Saarland, an area of coal mining and steel production administered by the League of Nations at that time. Their three-story attached row house was at Moltkestrasse 23, a nice residential neighborhood. A buzzer would open the front door after which another door with a glass panel opened to a short corridor. To the right on the first floor, called parterre, there was a fairly large carpeted and well-furnished salon and a quite formal dining room. Both rooms were dark and hardly ever used. The smelled a bit dank and musty. But to the left of the dining room a glass-beaded curtain opened to a long, enclosed, bright veranda where my grandmother kept a number of house plants including some she called amaryllis, her pride and joy. And yes, there was a rope-operated dumb-waiter from the kitchen above to the dining room. I used to love pulling those ropes and playing with it.
A toilet with a small hand basin and a spindle full of squares of cut newspaper, hardly to be called toilet tissue, was located half-way up the stairway to the middle floor, the actual living quarters. The living room was fairly bright and not anywhere as elegant as the downstairs salon. The main attraction were my grandfather's rocking chair and the blue and white KKL (Jewish National Fund) box filled with a number of coins. I liked to manipulate them out with a knitting needle. Of course I replaced them immediately. I knew the money was for a far-away country called Palestine.
Next to the living room was the fairly spacious master bedroom, dark and gloomy and actually taboo for me. But the bathroom was bright and big and quite an attraction for me because I could come in while my grandfather was still brushing his teeth and whistling while doing so. He used to announce that he was the only person with that capacity because he had false teeth. Oh, and of course the kitchen was on that floor but I did not spend much time in it and don't remember the details, except that it opened up to a balcony where we would sometimes eat. On those occasions we had to constantly wipe off the ever-present soot that came from the coal mines.
The landing half-way up to the third floor featured an ice box. Not much food was stored in it. Certainly nothing kept there tasted fresh. We had to watch out for the sound of drip-drip-dripping water which meant the molten ice had filled the basin below it almost to capacity.
I slept in the first of the three bedrooms on the third floor, up a creaky stairway. It was pretty dark too with a large bed and a dresser. It also smelled pretty musty and the bed springs were making all kinds of noises. A large limp rag doll with a porcelain head and eyes that would open and close greeted me on the bed. It was the ugliest thing I can remember, but my grandmother thought I would like to play with it since it had been my mother's. I hated it and tucked it away in a drawer very quickly. Early in the morning I could hear the crowing of roosters. Kickeri-kee they went. Kickeri-kee. On Sunday mornings that sound was joined by the ringing of several church bells. After all, Neunkirchen means nine churches. It did not wake me since I was not asleep any more but had to stay upstairs until I could get into the bathroom. On the way downstairs I was greeted by the aroma of freshly brewed coffee.
Two more rooms were located on that floor. One was a large storage room, mostly unused. The other was the former bedroom of my uncle, my mother's brother, who was killed early in World War I. I was not allowed to enter that room. Probably it was locked. I believe it was kept exactly the way my uncle had left it. My grandparents never talked about it but never got over it. My grandmother only wore black or grey clothes.
Of course the house also featured a basement. There were at least two parts to it, one a coal cellar, unpleasant with a dusty smell all of its own, and a fruit cellar. That was a delightful place. I loved to go downstairs and inhale the aroma of apples, yeast cakes, apple pies and other goodies which were stored in the cool basement room.
The house really was quite gloomy and I probably was bored during my visits. But I never felt unhappy there. That was the way it was. And my grandparents certainly loved my visits and I loved them for it.
Her writing is so vivid that I can easily picture this large and dark house that she visited as a small child. It's incredible to me how clearly she remembers this house and these visits.
He was a good-looking man. Portly and erect. He had a rosy complexion, a well cared-for short white beard, short white hair surrounding his mostly bold pate, an aquiline nose. Portly, I said. His belly protruded just enough to display a heavy golden watch on a chain. That was Onkel Jakob, my grandmother's brother and thus my mother's uncle. He was my grandfather's business partner.
He was very fastidious. His shoes were always shined and a crisp handkerchief was tucked in his left upper coat pocket. He spoke clearly and slowly in a baritone voice. He showed up at the office at exactly the same time every day. On Sundays at 10 o'clock he walked to the train station, about 20 minutes from where he lived, in order to check the correct time and reset his watch if necessary. He wanted to make sure his gold watch, so prominently displayed on his belly, was correct. Once the watch was set, he might pick me up at my grandparent's house in Neunkirchen. He took me and perhaps my sister too for a walk in the nearby woods, right behind my grandparent's store. Sometimes Herr Eisenbeis, the owner of the building, would join us. He was a hunter and carried a long rifle. He actually was looking for deer in the birch woods. I never saw him shooting any but I did see a number of deer. Herr Eisenbeis was stocky and short. He was dressed in a green hunter's outfit. He spoke in staccato sentences and was very abrupt and very Prussian. I did not like him very much.
But back to Onkel Jakob. I did like him and I also liked Tante Anna, his wife, who was quite beautiful and a wonderful cook. She served different kinds of food from those my grandmother made because she was not Jewish and was born in Hamburg in northern Germany. She had a brother in Kalamazoo. I remember because that name sounded very funny.
Onkel Jakob's life seemed to be run strictly by the rules. He was pedantic, to say the least. But something went utterly against those rules. He never brought Tante Anna to my grandparent's house. Somehow I found out that she was not welcome there because she was a shikse and because she had been Onkel Jakob's housekeeper for many years and that they had only recently been married. It was not fair. She was a good woman who went with Onkel Jakob when he had to leave Neunkirchen to move to Luxembourg during the Hitler years. She was the one who kept in touch with my mother as long as she could after World War II broke out. Through her we learned that my grandmother collapsed on the doorsteps and died when the Nazis marched in. That my grandfather had been deported. And that Onkel Jakob had died before the same fate could happen to him. That both he and my grandmother were buried in the Jewish cemetery in Luxembourg for which she supplied the address. She finally moved back to Hamburg where she had some family. After that we did not hear from her again.
I remember Onkel Jakob as a very pedantic man. But along with him I also remember Tante Anna who was a kind and good woman.
As she wrote in Part II of her story, her grandparents and her great-uncle all moved to Luxembourg around 1935 to escape the Nazis. They were, however, unable to come to the United States when Lotte and her parents left in 1939, and all three died during the Holocaust. There is a memorial stone for the three of them in Luxembourg.
Fortunately, Lotte, her sister, and her parents were able to move first from Germany to Luxembourg and then to the United States in 1939 where Lotte successfully completed nursing school.
Imagine having to learn a new language, having to take difficult tests in it, living in a completely new environment and under completely different circumstances, and making the best of it, all at the age of 56 which was considered "getting there" agewise at the time? That's what happened to my father.
Under duress he had to give up his medical practice in Germany. Other than his native German he knew a little French and of course had studied Latin and Greek in highschool. In Luxembourg where we lived for a year he had no way of working in his profession. Knowing that it was just an interim stop he began to study English. "1000 Words of English" was his first textbook. It was over-simplified and actually quite hilarious. "Do you like this girl?" was the beginning of one of the dialogues. "I not only like her, I love her" it went on. "She has millions of dollars". That kind of thing really was not adequate , but he learned. My mother who did speak English fairly well taught him some more. And then we left for America.
He felt very strange but he knew he had to make the best of it. He learned that he would have to take the New York State Boards in order to practice medicine. Anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, psychology, the whole works. He plowed right into it. The English language came "as you go" so to speak. He might have taken a course or two, I don't quite remember. His pronunciation was not great, but then neither was mine.
Meanwhile I started nursing school. Since I had a few of the same courses, though in drastically abridged form, I helped him some whenever I had a chance to get home. He really worked hard at it. He also found time to play the stock market, thanks to two very good advisors whom he knew from before. Whatever little money my parents had managed to smuggle or take out of Germany needed to be augmented in order provide for a decent living. He had no illusions about the income from his medical practice, whenever that would materialize. But the war had started, the market was going up, and as I said, he had some very good advisors who went for safety and not for speculation.
After studying for almost two years my father applied for the State Boards. Miraculously he passed almost all of the difficult courses. All except one in a course called "Hygiene". The Board, consisting of physicians eager to keep out the new competition g by German immigrants, could not in good conscience let him pass. So he had to take a refresher course and an additional exam, fortunately just in the one subject.
Now he would be able to hang out his shingle. My parents moved from apartment B61, on the sixth floor of the Park Chateau building at 8409 Talbot Street, Kew Gardens, to a spacious five-room one on the ground floor in the A building. My sister, her husband and their little girl, who had been sharing the upstairs apartment with my parents, moved to their own place a convenient distance away. My father bought second-hand equipment for his office. He posted a sign reading "Joseph Wiener, M.D. Physician" or something like that at the front of the building. I must explain that it was and probably still is quite customary for New York physicians to practice out of their living accommodations. No need to rent a special office space.
I remember the "Field of Dreams" movie with the theme "when you build it, they will come". Well my father opened his office and a few patients came. Not too many, but at least it was a start. By now he was 58 or 59 years old and not too anxious to establish a large practice. He definitely did not to drive a car any more. His clients would have to live in walking distance. That worked out just fine. The neighborhood with its small homes and working-class occupants which started right behind the Park Chateau building turned out to be just what he needed. They did not come in droves. Just enough to keep him happily satisfied. He charged $3.00 for an office visit. Sometimes he did not charge anything. He made house calls by walking there. He joined the local AMA chapter and enjoyed going to their meetings. I suppose he was glad to get away from home once in a while. He also looked forward to what they called "collation" on the invitations. It took a while to figure out that meant refreshments. For several summers he worked as the physician at a summer camp in the Catskills. The kids and also heir parents loved him and respected him. He had a great time there.
But then his health gave out. His arteriosclerotic heart grew weary. It took a few years before it went into failure. A few critical episodes followed. And yet he was determined to face this fact. Released after an early April stay in an oxygen tent at the local hospital, he proceeded to file his income tax. He knew his house was in order. He knew my mother was well provided for. And then he went to sleep. No longer did he have to face any difficulties.
You can see the sadness in Joseph's eyes (as well as his strength) in this later photograph as compared to the one above that was taken in the pre-Hitler era.
It is obvious. The moment I open my mouth, people recognize my accent. "Charming", they may say. "Annoying", it seems to me. I can't hear it myself, except when I listen to my own phone message. "That's me?" It sure does not sound like it. It sounds like a stranger.
Whether I like it or not, German is my mother tongue. That's what I spoke exclusively until I was seventeen. That's what my schooling and much of my thinking are based on. That's what influenced my formative years. But that's not what I spoke for many years. After all, I left Germany under the pressure of the Hitler years. When I left, I was sure I would never look back, never return again and never want to be involved with anything German. I had to start a new life. And when I met my husband who was from Vienna which after all is not Germany, we hardly ever spoke German. It was during the war, and the language was not welcome. Besides, in Austria they use a number of different terms for everyday common things, and we would begin to argue who was right. So we dropped it and just spoke English.
Learning English was not difficult for me. For a while I took English as an elective in high school.At age sixteen I took some private lessons at a Berlitz School where you are immersed in the foreign language. My courses included conversation, shorthand and commercial correspondence. With my German and a strong background in French it came easily. The study of Latin and Greek was very handy to understand grammar and vocabulary. But the pronunciation! German is a phonetic language while English is not. That caused – and causes – some trouble. While I pride myself in being completely fluent in English, I still may pronounce certain words the way I think they should be pronounced, the way I can sound them out. That is especially true with proper names many of which have been anglicized, for no good reason so it seems. Why for example should Verdi be pronounced "Voedy" when in Italian it is VERDI, or "Aphrodite" sound like "Aphrodaite" while the I in Greek is just that: "EE"? Well, so much for that.
I do think and figure almost exclusively in English. But sometimes an old German adage creeps in. And oh how many such words can be found in that language. There is a saying of wisdom for just about everything. And certain words simply cannot be translated – they are idiomatic. Just like the Yiddish schlemiel, or chutzpah. There is no English word for that.
I can still converse fairly fluently in my erstwhile mother tongue. People who did not know about my background would comment that for an American I spoke very good German. Little did they know. But when it comes to writing it becomes more difficult. For many years I had a lively correspondence with one of my high school friends who did not speak English. Often I would have to beat around the bush, so to speak, and find some alternate, perhaps awkward way to describe what I wanted to say. And reading German books or communications. Those convoluted intertwined interminably long sentences. English is much more direct.
Somehow I cannot think of English as being my mother tongue. It is not, although it is what I use almost exclusively. Somewhere, deep in the crevices of my brain my German background prevails. Sometimes it comes to the fore. After all, that is my mother tongue.
There is no question that Lotte has mastered the English language; very few of us for whom English is our mother tongue can express ourselves as well as she does in her adopted language.
Once again, I was and continue to be struck by how determined and how positive Lotte was as a young woman and how she has remained so to this day. These more recent photographs of her show her indomitable spirit in her smile and in the light in her eyes.

Lovely stories and so interestingly written! Kalamazoo!
I am so happy that I found Lotte. She's remarkable!
Wouldn't it be amazing if we could figure out who Anna's brother in Kalamazoo was? I can't imagine that Lotte would know her maiden name.

Lewis claims a hard-fought victory for the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team at the 2021 British Grand Prix, with Valtteri securing an impressive podium in P3
Lewis took his eighth British Grand Prix win with a courageous drive in front of a full-capacity crowd at Silverstone.
Lewis and VER collided on the opening lap when fighting for the lead into Copse Corner, with VER hitting the barriers and Lewis suffering damage to his wheel rim.
The race was red-flagged as a result and Lewis received a 10 second penalty from the stewards when the race restarted 20 minutes later.
Valtteri lost a position at the start of the race but completed an undercut on NOR on lap 23 after the McLaren driver suffered a slow pit-stop, and the team reacted with a call to box.
Valtteri then drove faultlessly on a longer-than-intended stint on the Hard tyre, reaching P2 before being asked to let a surging Lewis past to fight with LEC up ahead.
Lewis completed a fine overtake on LEC up the inside of Copse with two laps to go, in a repeat of his lap one move on VER, and took the chequered flag in P1.
Max Verstappen (185 points) leads the Drivers' Championship by 8 points from Lewis (177) and Lando (113), with Valtteri (108) moving up to in P4.
Red Bull (289 points) lead the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team (285 points) by 4 points in the Constructors' Championship.

Hard (27)
I have been giving my all the past week, working in the factory, just giving it everything to uncover performance in this car with the guys and I am so proud of everyone for continuing to work, even though we had to recover a deficit. Today, as always, I tried to be measured in how I approached the race, particularly battling with Max – he's very aggressive but I was fully alongside him and he didn't leave me any space. Regardless of whether I agreed with the penalty, I took it on the chin and I just kept working. I was just like, "I'm not going to let anything get in the way of the crowd's enjoyment of the weekend, the national anthem and the British flag". I couldn't have done it without the great teamwork from Valtteri and the amazing effort from the team so I'm very grateful and just so happy to deliver this result for the team and the fans.
The main issue for me today was losing a place at the start; it was the same yesterday so it's something we need to work on. During the race, we only had one option when Lando had a slow pit-stop: we had to pit as well, even though we knew the second stint would be long, and that's how it proved – it was tough towards the end of the race with the tyres blistering badly.
It's good to see every member of the team fighting so hard for this championship. Today there were surprises everywhere – Ferrari looked very strong, McLaren were good on the Medium tyre so it's great for racing and for the fans. Overall, we've improved the car coming into this weekend but we know there is still work to do.
Toto Wolff
We have seen a dramatic and exciting race today with Lewis winning the British Grand Prix again and catching Charles at the end - I think that was something for everybody. As for the incident between Lewis and Max, it always takes two to Tango and these two competitors were not giving each other an inch. It's a high speed corner and that's why these things are nasty to look at, but there is a clear regulation that is black and white on paper – if the front axle is over the middle of the car on the outside, it is your corner.
This is a championship where the greatest driver of all time, a seven-time world champion is fighting with a tool that is maybe not as good as the other car, driven by an up and coming star who is trying to make his mark. And they collided and crashed. We have seen that in days before and with all the great rivalries in history, and this is what happened today. The most important thing is that Max is fine, and the rest of the race was great.
Andrew Shovlin
A great result for the team, we've had a few tough races but the team has worked so hard over the last few weeks and this is a great reward for everyone. The first half of the race was pretty tough for both drivers on the Medium tyres; in traffic we were limited by tyre overheating and it was impossible to close up sufficiently to attack. We'd planned to go long with both but when Lando had a poor stop, we called Valtteri in early to bank that position.
With Lewis we struggled with a bit too much understeer in the first stint and eventually came in due to the front tyres dropping. On the Hard tyre we could start to push the car to its potential and it was great to see Valtteri able to pull away and Lewis able to close the gap to Charles. We'd expected to catch with a couple of laps to go but Lewis's pace didn't drop and in the end it was a comfortable win despite having to drop the ten seconds with the penalty. We came here to win and to close the gap in the championships so we should be very satisfied with our work this weekend. We're nearly half-way through and there's hardly anything in it, we know that Red Bull are going to bounce back strong so from first thing tomorrow morning we'll be putting all our efforts into the next race in Budapest.
