the town has established rules / regulations for both properties.
Mittineague Park is patrolled by West Springfield Police, a seasonal park ranger, several citizens who act as eyes and ears, as well as surveillance cameras. Bear Hole is patrolled by West Springfield Police, Massachusetts Environmental Police and several citizens who act as eyes and ears.
Where Westfield overlaps into Bear Hole, particularly along the East Mountain area, Westfield Police patrol via ATV. Westfield Police have a mutual aid agreement with West Springfield Police in regards to assisting with Bear Hole incidents. Violations within Bear Hole and Mittineague Park can result in a town issued fine and/or pursued criminally through Massachusetts General Laws.
Vehicle trespassing can result in impoundment at the violator's expense.
West Springfield Police 413-263-3210, ext#0 (911 Emergency) Online reports can also be submitted through the online report center. An example of what justifies an online report would be observation of a dirt bike rider riding in Bear Hole or Mittineague Park trails. A situation that is important, but the police or park ranger may not be able to catch the rider due to riders being so mobile throughout the forest. An online report creates a paper trail, while still initiating a police investigation after the fact. Online reports should not be used for urgent / emergency situations. In your report it is essential to be as detailed as possible, such as descriptions of a rider's helmet and/or where they were observed entering, vehicle color/make/model, vehicle license plate or maybe there wasn't one, person's clothing description, person's description (i.e. young looking aged 18-20, clean shaven, cheek scar), time of day, did they have a weapon such as a rifle or bow/arrow, was someone arrogant with you. Key points: who, what, where, when and how. When in doubt call police dispatch and they can direct you whether an online report would suffice. Remember....if something isn't reported, then it's like the incident didn't happen. Photos/video are helpful.

Pima County officials say migrant families will be moved into a dormlike shelter at the Pima County Juvenile Justice Complex on Tucson's south side under a lease agreement with Catholic Community Services.

Migrant asylum seekers will be housed in former juvenile detention center next month
By Joe Ferguson Arizona Daily Star

A bid to use two Tucson schools to house migrant families has been called off, with officials conceding there were too many hurdles to use either location.
Instead, Pima County will move forward with plans to convert a portion of the Pima County Juvenile Justice Complex that is not being used into a dorm-like shelter for asylum seekers. The juvenile facility is on East Ajo Way near South Kino Parkway.
Officials had been under intense pressure to identify a place to house up to 200 migrant families because the current location being used by Catholic Community Services, the former Benedictine Monastery in midtown Tucson, is expected to close its doors in the coming weeks.
Pima County Supervisor Richard Elías, along with TUSD Governing Board President Adelita Grijalva, wanted to explore moving the families to Menlo Park Elementary School, at 1100 W. Fresno St., and Howenstine Magnet High School, 555 S. Tucson Blvd., rather than use portions of the county's Juvenile Justice Complex.
But both former schools could not easily be converted into housing for migrants, officials said.
Elías said it was important to consider other locations after some Tucsonans balked at putting migrant families in a detention center.

"The county is listening to all community voices and trying to find a space for the folks that need help right now," Elías said.
Councilman Steve Kozachik said the last-minute proposal to use TUSD schools — made after the county had publicly announced it planned on using the detention center — focused more on optics than truly helping the migrants.
"Those of us who have been involved with this for the past five years don't need any more 11th-hour theatrics. The county facility will be a welcoming place of respite. People need to get over what it used to be and live in the present," he said.

Catch a Falling Tsar
Posted in FILM, Politics with tags Akira Kurosawa, David Lean, Doctor Zhivago, Edward Bond, Franklin J Schaffner, Freddie Young, James Goldman, John Box, Kinji Fukasaku, Michael Bryant, Michael Jayston, Nicholas and Alexandra, Rasputin and the Empress, Richard Fleischer, Robin Askwith, Sam Spiegel, Tom Baker, Tora Tora Tora on January 3, 2019 by dcairns
NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA is one possible answer to the question "What would a David Lean movie be like without David Lean?" A question nobody but Sam Spiegel would think to ask, I suspect. N&A may not be the best answer, but it's the only one we have*. I assume Spiegel was jealous of his former star director's box office triumph DOCTOR ZHIVAGO and thought he'd do one better.
Franklin J. Schaffner, who we like at least partly because his name is Franklin J. Schaffner — a name that positively chomps its own cigar — did some lively work on potentially lumbering epics like PLANET OF THE APES. He'd go handheld at unexpected moments. In PATTON we also see his flair for highly formal compositions to contrast with the explosive set-pieces. Well, the formal shots still turn up in N&A, but it could do with a shot of handheld chaos to get it on its feet. To speak of this film is to speak of tedium — the sheer amount of tedium makes it the film's most interesting trait. One wouldn't have thought it possible to cram so much boredom into a movie also containing a cast of thousands, a mad monk, one Russo-Japanese war, one world war, two revolutions, and both the cream of the British acting establishment and a lot of young and soon-to-be-nude hopefuls (Robin Askwith turns up just to rip the skin of a rabbit). And yet it's quite remarkable how dull things are for long stretches.
Schaffner seems in awe of his material, so he's on his best behaviour. Nobody's at their best when they're on their best behaviour. Designer John Box creates a very convincing Russia out of various Spanish and Yugoslav locations, but the great Freddie Young's photography is surprisingly overlit much of the time. How did the wretched White Russians get their palaces to look like daytime soaps with only candles at their disposal. I don't require the full BARRY LYNDON every time, but a bit of atmosphere would be welcome. (I'm only using the more gorgeous shots for this post — there are, admittedly, lots. But the movie only really impresses visually when it ventures outside, or when night falls, or when it's dealing with the plotting Bolshies. (Michael Bryant makes a very good Lenin — his story would be worth telling.) And of course there's Tom Baker's Rasputin. If ever an actor and role were more suited on paper — Baker was an actual monk, ffs — I can't think of the occasion. And while Baker is impressive and brings the stately proceedings to relative life (the only kind of life on offer), he's actually disappointing compared to the version of "Tom Baker as Rasputin" that plays through my head when I think of that glorious phrase. I think it's because all Old Greg's atrocities, as portrayed here, are so mild and tasteful. His murder is pretty lurid — though utterly outdone by the Battle of the Barrymores in RASPUTIN AND THE EMPRESS. This one has lots of homoeroticism thrown in, though, including Tom making eyes (and WHAT eyes!) at a dragged-up flautist. It perks things up. Also some good snivelling hysteria from Michael Jayston's ex-Tsar when he sees his missus for the first time after abdicating. Shame cuts the puppet emperor's strings and he collapses lopsidedly. "I didn't mean to do it!" is all kinds of pathetic. And he becomes human in our eyes for the first time. James Goldman (assisted or hampered by rewrites from Edward Bond) really can't make us care about Tsar Nicky, an absolutely appalling leader combining weakness with arrogance, able to vacillate stubbornly and be obdurately spineless, neither of which should even be possible. The problem of "our son, the little bleeder" (if only they'd cast Burton & Taylor they might have gotten some healthy vulgarity into their show — but they'd probably still be shooting it) is supposed to make the royals sympathetic, but mainly it gives them a problem they can't do anything about.
Goldman's best idea is to show the Tsar becoming a better man after he abdicates, which is based on no particular historical evidence but at least gives him an arc. It doesn't make much difference though, since the entire royal family is reduced to total helplessness at this point, passengers through their own story on their way to a historically foreordained execution.
For which Schaffner finally pulls out all the stops. His formal compositions are almost as striking here as in the celebrated opening of PATTON, and he milks the suspense — which ought to be nonexistent — a bunch of people with little personality who have done nothing effective or good for the previous three hours of screen time are about to die, and we know it's going to happen — to breaking point. If it makes sense to milk something to breaking point. Can you break a cow? See NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA, the film that breaks a cow. NICHOLAS AND ALEXANDRA stars Lewis Carroll; Cleopatra; Emanuelle 'Bunny' O'Neill; Pola Ivanova; Ralph Gurney – 13th Earl of Gurney; Goneril; Koura; General Allenby; Mr. Tow-Wouse; 'Maxim' De Winter; Harry Dominion; Doctor B. N. Wallis, C.B.E., F.R.S.; Professor Harrington; Wick Blagdon; Peter Brock; Mrs. Chasen; Robert McKee; Lord Ludd; Bilbo Baggins; Leopold Mozart; Encolpio; Bumbo; Woodrow Wilson; Wernher Von Braun; Master Robert Shallow; Colonel Breen; Timothy Lea; Sherlock Holmes; and the voice of Colossus.
Or, to put it another way, since none of the up-and-coming young thesps strutting and fretting here went on to more big movies (not right away, anyway), we have the future stars of THE MUTATIONS: THE FLESH AND BLOOD SHOW; VAMPIRE CIRCUS; Hammer House of Horror; SCHIZO; CRAZE… eventually, of course, many of them hit their stride again, but it really doesn't look like this movie helped anyone.
*I tell a lie: Akira Kurosawa thought he was going to be co-directing TORA, TORA, TORA with David Lean, but got Richard Fleischer instead. Then he quit, and they hired Kinji Fukasaku, making T,T,T both a Lean film without Lean and a Kurosawa film without Kurosawa. Enjoy!
Town without pity
Posted in FILM, literature, MUSIC, Politics, Theatre with tags Angie Dickinson, Arthur Penn, Clifton James, Henry Hull, Horton Foote, James Fox, Jane Fonda, Janice Rule, John Barry, Lillian Hellman, Marlon Brando, Martha Hyer, Maurice Binder, Miriam Hopkins, Paul Williams, Robert Duvall, Robert Redford, Sam Spiegel, The Chase on August 13, 2016 by dcairns
Why had I been resistant to seeing THE CHASE? The Arthur Penn movie, I mean. Maybe that ultra-generic title had something to do with it. I seem to recall seeing a doc on Penn — must've been a LOOONG time ago — which positioned this movie as an unsatisfactory struggle with the studio system, coming before the breakthrough of BONNIE AND CLYDE. They found a clip showing Jane Fonda shot in soft focus, intercut with a pin-sharp Robert Redford, to illustrate what a conventional affair it was. A Shirley Temple movie with guns.
That may have been how Penn himself recalled it, though he was such a big fan of Brando's work, he must have found something more to enjoy in the film. he spoke of how Brando suggested filming his fight scene with closeups filmed at 12fps so that fists could be brought in slowly and actually connect with his face, smuching up his features. When projected at normal speed, the image ought to look genuinely violent. (Polanski attempted something like this in TWO MEN AND A WARDROBE. The tiny fists are his own.)
None of Brando's suggested Keystone pugilism makes it into the final cut as far as I can see, but the film's violence is still incredibly intense and convincing, partly due to the sadomasochistic relish with which Marlon throws himself into it. Screenwriter Lillian Hellman, adapting Horton Foote's novel and play, loaded the script with bile, so there's considerable raw anger behind each punch. (A punch hurts, but the aggression motivating it is just as upsetting — if you're a sensitive blossom like me, anyway.)
I think THE CHASE may be a masterpiece, just not wholly Penn's. It's a Sam Spiegel film, which I guess makes it White Elephant Art writ large, but I quite like White Elephant Art. The Cistine Chapel is not termite art.
Another reason for my resistance to the film is that I HAD seen bits of it on TV and found it drear. But you need to see it, obviosuly, in the proper widescreen ratio, and you need to be prepared to accept its grimness. It's unrelenting, but not wholly unlevened. As a big Hollywood movie, part of what provides relief from its hellscape of corruption, bigotry and raging cruelty is the all-star cast, all of whom get grandstanding moments. It's a very well acted film physically, and apart from stunts like Brando, pummelled to mush, rolling off a desktop and dropping to the floor as dead weight, and gestures like Miriam Hopkins' hyperactive hands, it's full of great POSES —
Henry Hull making great use of his skeletal frame. Clothes hang so nicely on him!
And nobody ever looked deader onscreen than the dead body in the movie's third-last scene.
"You gotta feel bad for Brando's character in this," I remarked midway. "Surrounded by assholes." And that was before the beating.
I think Robert Redford, though quite good, is miscast. Hard to imagine him having been this out-of-control wild kid. Hard to imagine everyone scared he's coming back home. I tell you what would have improved everything and launched the film into a higher level of seriousness: make the character black. But Hellman compensates by including a couple of black characters whose perilous lives do suggest something of the racial tension (read: vicious intimidation) in the South.
Ridiculously all-star cast. Hard to conceive of a Jane Fonda film from this period in which she is not the sexiest woman, but — "Janice Rule is my new girl-crush," declared Fiona. Mine, too, I think. Janice is playing a really appalling character with really great breasts, and a lot of soap opera gusto. She out-bitches Dynasty. Her milquetoast husband is a very young Robert Duvall — so young he has vestigial traces of hair — equally loathsome but WEAK. Then there's enthusiastic drunk acting from Martha Hyer, the always-welcome-if-it's-not-a-Bond-film Clifton James, and an early prototype Paul Williams ~
The very ending reminds me of THE DEVILS. THE CHASE is only slightly less grim and only a few shades less hysterical than that despairing masterwork.
"It's hard to say who had the worst night of it," I said to Fiona, eyes wide. About an hour later, she managed to reply, "Well, probably ****, because he DIED." "Yes, but **** lost BOTH the men in her life," I pointed out. Then there are the bereaved parents, the jerk who's going to jail for murder, the poor guy who got beaten up in prison (and not even by a cop) and then had his scrapyard blown up. It's not a comedy.
However, also militating against any sense of actual depression is the fact that Spiegel was evidently impressed by the Bond films and has hired Maurice Binder to do the credits (no naked silhouettes though) and John Barry to score the thing. It's not that Barry didn't watch the movie, I think, it's just that his sensibility at the time was so irrepressibly vibrant that he can't help elevate the mood. No doubt Spiegel wanted something epic and heroic: Barry claimed he composed the score to BORN FREE as a parody of Hollywood's uplifting themes, but much of THE CHASE could almost be amping things up into a state of overkill. It never feels like he's spoofing it, but he's willing it to be more thrilling and epic than it wants to be. So you have Penn and Hellman fighting for downbeat drama and Spiegel and Barry dragging it towards tragic grandeur and glorious passions.
I tend to favour the auteurist viewpoint, not because movies aren't team efforts, but because unless you have one sensibility in charge filtering what goes into the mix, and unless that sensibility is an interesting and intelligent one, things tend to get chaotic and discordant. But in rare cases, the struggle between warring visions can produce something quite satisfying, where the creative tension blurs into dramatic tension. It can be very exciting, though probably none of the participants would come away feeling satisfied. That's THE CHASE, I think.
Falling Stahr
Posted in FILM with tags Angelica Huston, Dana Andrews, Elia Kazan, Fellini Casanova, Harold Pinter, Ingrid Boulting, Jeanne Moreau, John Carradine, Robert DeNiro, Robert Mitchum, Sam Spiegel, The Great Gatsby, The Last Tycoon, The Late Show: The Late Films Blogathon, Theresa Russell, Tony Curtis on December 1, 2015 by dcairns
Reading Elia Kazan's memoirs, which include his diary of making THE LAST TYCOON, his last film, it's easy to see why the film came out oddly. Kazan's mother was dying, and he experienced an unsettling outpouring of hate and bitterness from her as she went — he could not entirely convince himself that this was merely the result of her illness. So he was more than a little distracted. I rather hate Kazan for political reasons, but I couldn't help but pity him here — and he wasn't asking me to.
He complained that screenwriter Harold Pinter had shortchanged him on the love story, and that Pinter had failed to provide a usable ending. Indeed, though Pinter's usual approach is to leave big gaps for us to read between the lines, this script is so spacious it feels less complete than F. Scott Fitzgerald's unfinished source novel. (This is one of the great late films — it's director's final movie, based on a posthumous and incomplete book, featuring a host of aging Hollywood talent including Tony Curtis, Ray Milland, Robert Mitchum and Dana Andrews. The hero even has an unfinished house.) Pinter, not much of a romantic, ALWAYS seems to scrimp on the love stories, and DeNiro can be a limp, ungenerous lead in love scenes. As for the finale, no doubt Fitzgerald's brace of assassination schemes was judged too melodramatic, but what Pinter substitutes is curiously UNdramatic. Kazan shot his star/Stahr Robert DeNiro (the movie is an "interesting" blend of new talent and old) repeating a speech from earlier, shuffled into a suggestive montage, and lets his leading man wander into a darkened sound stage for his fadeout. It has the SENSE of an ending without being an ending.
If the movie doesn't end, it doesn't seem to begin or middle either — it just drifts. Actors turn up — Jack Nicholson makes an amazingly late appearance, and livens things up a bit — or disappear. It's very enjoyable to hear Mitchum and Curtis speak Pinter — you still get a sense of the playwright's weird rhythms. Vincent Canby, praising the film, remarked that Ingrid Boulting, DeNiro's love interest, alternates between an eerie certainty and a clueless inability to say a line. That's about right — I'm assuming poor Kazan wasn't much help to her, given his state of mind. A Spiegel discovery — neither Kazan nor Pinter wanted her — she could have carried it off with more guidance — her good moments are evidence enough of this. She was rather good in THE WITCHES ten years earlier — here, she's being "introduced," which is usually the kiss of death to a career.
Fitzgerald had written a striking entrance for his love interest, floating on a disembodied prop statue head through a flooded studio. By the time Kazan got around to filming it, it must have seemed like second-hand Fellini. I actually wonder if the scene in the book could have inspired FELLINI CASANOVA the same year. But I doubt FF ever read the book. It is kind of nice that the head is carrying Angelica Huston, daughter of John, and Ingrid Boulting, step-daughter of Roy. The film, if it is a film, is a decided clash between old generation and new.
Pinter's sense of period Hollywood is shaky — early on, John Carradine, sepulchral studio tour guide, brags that he's worked for the studio since "way back in the silent days." Way back when you were a young man of sixty-five, John? Jeanne Moreau makes an implausible thirties star, and places impossible stresses on the wrong words: "What's wrong with my frigging hair?" (My normal hair is fine, but the hair I have specifically for frigging with, that's all out of whack.) Having invented fictitious movie stars, the film starts referring to real ones halfway through, which is suddenly distracting. Maurice Jarre's music is weak. Kazan's blocking and cutting is sometimes choppy and chaotic. As with Jack Clayton's THE GREAT GATSBY, the adaptation leaves you rather wondering what the book was about. And yet… it's all rather watchable, flowing by in a distracted manner. Nice clothes, nice-looking people (Theresa Russell squints and grins attractively), nice locations. And Tony Curtis as an aging matinee idol speaking in Pinteresque non-sequiturs — that tickles me.
"I love her. She's my wife."

Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust
The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust is New York's contribution to the global responsibility to never forget. The mission of the Museum is to educate people of all ages and backgrounds about the broad tapestry of Jewish life in the 20th and 21st centuries—before, during, and after the Holocaust.
Multiple perspectives on modern Jewish history, life, and culture are presented in the Museum's unique Core Exhibition and award-winning special exhibitions. Acclaimed public programs, including discussions, films, plays, and concerts, highlight the richness of Jewish culture and ideas. The Museum is also home to National Yiddish Theatre Folksbiene.

Born in the East Prussian city of Königsberg in 1922, Annelies Bernstein had a happy childhood. Her father was a respected banker, and the small Jewish community was economically comfortable. However, one year before Hitler's election in 1933, Annelies' happy life was shattered when her father was accused of financial irregularities and took his own life. Learn the story of how Annelies survived the Holocaust hidden in Berlin on our podcast, a co-production with Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies:

Pioneers: Remembering the First Jews in America
Jews emigrated to North America in the earliest days of the colonial era, long before American independence and before the great waves of immigration in the 19th and 20th centuries. These early Jewish settlers represented a wide diversity of backgrounds and experiences, and the rich communities they formed together in New York, Rhode Island, Georgia, and elsewhere became the foundation for close to 370 years of American Jewish life.
This special Thanksgiving program exploring the lives and communities of the earliest American Jews is presented by the Museum, American Friends of Beit Hatfutsot, and The Jewish Heritage Alliance.
Teenage Annelies Herz saw that fellow Jewish forced laborers were disappearing. So to survive in wartime Germany, she and her twin sister went underground: they secured new identities and never stayed in one place for long. They are pictured here standing on the balcony of the first apartment they occupied after liberation.

The Museum of Jewish Heritage - A Living Memorial to the Holocaust

The Museum of Jewish Heritage – A Living Memorial to the Holocaust is New York's contribution to the global responsibility to never forget.
We are pleased to share with you a recording of last week's livestreamed concert with klezmer-rock band Golem.
Golem is a leading re-interpreter and innovator of Yiddish and Eastern European music, creating new songs and pushing tradition forward into new territory.
Founded by Annette Ezekiel Kogan in New York City, Golem is known for its theatrics and fearless wild energy, combined with a boundless love of tradition. They perform internationally and have released four albums including "Homesick Songs," "Fresh Off Boat," "Citizen Boris," and, most recently, the highly acclaimed album "Tanz." The band was featured live in the FX TV show "Louie," the Amazon TV show "Hunters," and Netflix's show "Dash and Lily." As the Jewish Week says, Golem is "not your father's klezmer band, unless of course your father was Sid Vicious."
Teenage twin sisters Annelies and Marianne Bernstein survived the Holocaust by posing as non-Jews in Berlin — submerged on the surface of everyday life, engaged in a constant struggle to evade the state surveillance apparatus of Nazi Germany.
Discover their story on our blog:

In the middle of the night on November 10, 1938, the Gestapo came to the home of Seligmann and Elsa Bamberger in Hamburg, Germany. It was Kristallnacht, the Night of Broken Glass, when anti-Jewish violence was unleashed by the Nazis in Germany, annexed Austria, and parts of Czechoslovakia. Almost 30,000 Jewish men were arrested that night and sent to concentration camps and almost 100 Jews were killed.
In Joseph Bamberger testimony, he describes where his father was when the Gestapo came looking for Seligmann, and the outcome of his father's work on Kristallnacht.
The last bar mitzvah before Kristallnacht
On the 82nd anniversary of Kristallnacht, read about the bar mitzvah that carried generational significance:
The rabbi's ominous sermon on my father's big day carried him through the pogrom, the camps, and then liberation: 'It doesn't become daytime before it literally becomes night'
A Candelabra for Perseverance : Museum of Jewish Heritage — A Living Memorial to the Holocaust
Holocaust survivor Ruth Zimbler donated this candelabra to the Museum in 2019. As a young girl, she endured Kristallnacht, escaped on the first Kindertransport out of Vienna, was reunited with her family in the Netherlands, and they made their way to New York in 1939. Her father crafted the candelabra for her mother as he taught himself metalwork in order to make a living in an English-speaking country.
You can learn more about Ruth's story by reading our blog and registering for tomorrow's Stories Survive program, where she will give an eyewitness account of #Kristallnacht, also known as the "Night of Broken Glass."
By Sara Barber This candelabra has become a symbol of perseverance from Ruth Zimbler. She was born in 1928 as Ruth Mondschein, daughter to Markus Mondschein (1890-1961) and Helle "Hene" Mondschein (1896-1991). Ruth's parents married in 1925 after meeting in Vienna. Her father worked as a mecha...

Strongmen from Mussolini to the Present - MJH Program Oct 7
What is the playbook used by authoritarians from Mussolini to the present day? What can we learn from the past? Ruth Ben-Ghiat in conversation with Jason Stanley.
Ruth Ben-Ghiat is the expert on the "strongman" playbook employed by authoritarian demagogues from Mussolini to Putin. In her upcoming book Strongmen: Mussolini to the Present, she explains the blueprint these leaders have followed over the past 100 years, and empowers us to recognize, resist, and prevent their disastrous rule in the future. She also tracks the use of anti-Jewish propaganda as a common element connecting Mussolini, Hitler, and some of today's European strongmen. Jason Stanley is the author of How Fascism Works.

Stories Survive Speaker Series with Toby Levy
We invite you to hear Toby Levy's survival story. Ms. Levy was born in Chodorow, near Lvov, Poland in 1933, where the Germans invaded in the spring of 1941. Her family went into hiding as Jews were forced into ghettos. A Polish woman who had been a customer in her father's fabric store took them in, where they remained hidden in a barn until June 1944 when they were liberated by the Red Army. The family came to the United States in 1949, and now you can hear her life story in her own words. Watch our Stories Speaker Survive Series with Toby Levy here.

Five months ago today, the Museum closed its doors as part of New York City's lockdown measures to fight COVID-19. As we grappled with how to reach our followers, we moved to virtual programs. One of the first online programs we shared was "Yiddish Humor During WWII with Professor Anna Shternshis," and we invite you to rewatch it today, as it is #NationalTellAJokeDay.

In this Yiddish lullaby "Ven ikh volt gehat ("If I had the Kaiser's Treasures"), musician Vladimir Fridman croons: "My child, my crown. When I see you It seems to me That the whole world is mine." This song was performed by Yiddish theater actress Diana Blumenfeld and recorded by folklorist Ben Stonehill more than 70 years ago. In the summer of 1948, Stonehill recorded more than 1,000 songs from Holocaust refugees who were being housed temporarily at the Hotel Marseilles on New York's Upper West Side. The recordings are now being disseminated on the web by Yiddish scholar Miriam Isaacs through a partnership with the Center for Traditional Music and Dance.

Trauma Studies, Creativity, and the Second Generation
Children of Holocaust survivors (often referred to as "2Gs," for second generation) are no strangers to intergenerational trauma. Children of survivors process and cope with inherited trauma in remarkably diverse ways, often through transmutation in the creative process or sublimation into other activities. In this discussion, clinical psychologist Irit Felsen – a trauma specialist focusing on Holocaust survivors and their children – is joined by award-winning author and poet Elizabeth Rosner ("Survivor Cafe," "Speed of Light") for a discussion of how trauma is passed on and manifested from generation to generation.

Remembering the MS St. Louis
In May 1939, more than 930 Jews fled the Third Reich aboard the MS St. Louis. Their destination was Cuba and then most planned to immigrate to the United States, but they were turned away by both countries.

In this special commemorative program, award-winning journalist Armando Lucas Correa ("The German Girl"), who is an expert on the history of the St. Louis, is in conversation with Sirius XM radio host Jessica Shaw. This event is pre-recorded and will be available on YouTube following its premiere on Facebook.

I am trying to locate the family of Mr. Walter Wagner, who lived in Magdeburg during WW2. I do not know more details about him and his wife . He saved my father in 1945 who was on the way to a mass grave from POLTE,fed him,gave him shelter, and treated his wounds, until the American soldiers arrived. He also saved the life of a Jewish lady and her daughter. I want to get in touch with his family and send a letter of recognition to "Yad Vashem".

Restless leg syndrome, also known as RLS, is a neurological condition characterized by an uncontrollable urge to move the legs due to tingling, creeping, throbbing, pulling, burning or itching sensations. The symptoms are more severe at evening or night, causing difficulty sleeping. Here are some natural remedies that might help in providing relief to the legs.
Coconut oil: Massaging the legs with warm coconut oil on a regular basis improves blood circulation and soothes the nerves.
Chamomile: Being a sedative, it has a soothing effect on the nerves and muscles, inducing sleep. Prepare a cup of chamomile tea and drink it 2 hours before going to bed. You can also gently rub chamomile oil on your legs before sleeping.
Lavender oil: Applying lavender oil on the bottom of the feet prior to bedtime is believed to ease the symptoms of RLS. As an alternative method, you can dip your legs in warm water mixed with few drops of the essential oil.
Camphor oil: Regular application of camphor oil on the legs might alleviate the unpleasant sensations in the legs.
Mustard: The anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties of yellow mustard due to the presence of magnesium, selenium, calcium, iron, and phytonutrients makes it an effective remedy for RLS. Having 1 tablespoon of yellow mustard seeds prior to sleeping can promote blood circulation in the legs. Massaging the legs with mustard oil may also give beneficial results.
Apple cider vinegar: Due to its alkaline effect, apple cider vinegar maintains the pH levels in the body, helping in reducing the discomfort in the legs. Mix one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with lukewarm water in a glass and drink it slowly half an hour before retiring to bed.
Blackstrap molasses: It has a high content of iron that could be effective in relieving the symptoms of RLS. Add one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses to one cup of water. Stir thoroughly and have it 30 minutes prior to sleeping. Following the remedy on a regular basis might show positive results. As an alternative method, you can mix one tablespoon of blackstrap molasses and one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in a cup of water and drink it.
Peppermint tea: Drinking a cup of peppermint tea before bedtime is a good natural remedy for RLS as its pain relieving properties, coming from menthol minimizes the tingling sensations in the legs. Drinking it 3 to 4 times a day might give effective results. Rubbing the legs gently with peppermint oil might also be beneficial for RLS.
Baking soda: Dissolve 1 tablespoon of baking soda in warm water and immerse your legs for a while to reduce the symptoms of RLS.
Tonic water: Having 1/4 cup of tonic water before sleeping improves the symptoms of RLS as its quinine content calms the nervous system as well as helps the muscles to relax, increasing blood flow.
Epsom salt: Pour 1 cup of Epsom salt in warm bath water and soak your legs for about half an hour prior to bedtime. As Epsom salt is rich in magnesium sulfate, it might aid in getting rid of the discomfort.
Warm and cold compress: Applying warm and cold packs on the legs alternatively before going to bed could improve the condition. You can also soak your legs in warm and cold water filled in separate buckets for few minutes in an alternate manner.
Soap bar: Place a bar of soap under the bedsheet near your legs while sleeping to relieve leg cramps.
Water: Drinking sufficient amount of water might be effective as it keeps the body hydrated.
Socks: Wearing socks while sleeping can help in lowering the discomfort.
Pillow: Placing a pillow between the legs while sleeping can reduce the uneasiness.
Being a neurological disorder, RLS might not respond to home remedies in severe cases, requiring some prescribed drugs from a doctor. However, you can apply menthol creams or ointments on the legs for managing the symptoms.
Having certain homeopathic medicines such as Tarentula Hispanica and causticum may provide relief from the tingling sensations in the legs.
In some cases, resorting to acupuncture treatment might prove to be useful. However, make sure you get in touch with a licensed practitioner. If you are unable to get relief from the unpleasant sensations in the legs even after trying out these home remedies, then consult a physician.

Almost 70% of Bojangles restaurants are in Hurricane Florence's path
70% of Bojangles stores are in Florence path
Author: Meilin Tompkins, WCNC
This is not great news for Bojangles' fans: Almost 70 percent of Bojangles restaurants are in the path of Hurricane Florence.
About 69 percent of the company's 766 restaurants are in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, according to an analysis by Bloomberg Intelligence.
Slow-moving Hurricane Florence made landfall early Friday in North Carolina, bringing punishing winds, heavy rain and record flooding as it crawls southwest along the North and South Carolina coast.
Bojangles, founded in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1977 is known for its famous chicken biscuits and their hospitality.
In July, Bojangles donated its containers that are normally used to transport fried chicken and all the fixings to an animal shelter that was out of boxes.

The restaurant chain recently announced three new stores under construction in North Carolina in Boone, Wadesboro and Charlotte.
"These restaurants in North Carolina are a great example of what we've been saying about how Bojangles' plans to grow in our core markets, while franchising will continue to lead growth in adjacent markets," Tony Hopson, Senior Vice President of Operations for Bojangles' said in a Sept. 6 statement.

Back in the day, Bill Murray's name was enough to sell anything. Throughout the 80s and 90s, everything Bill touched turned to box office gold – although not always critical gold. Still, he brought in the crowds and left the majority of audiences with smiles on their faces. However, in 2015 Bill Murray's biggest mistake was released. A box-office bomb, the film grossed $3.5 million against a $15 million budget – and has the unlucky title of 'the 5th worst opening of all-time for a film playing in over 2,000 theatres'. This is 'Rock The Kasbah'.
Richie Lanz (Bill Murray) is a has-been rock manager taking his last remaining client on a USO tour of Afghanistan. When Richie finds himself in Kabul, abandoned, penniless and without his U.S. passport, he discovers a young Afghan girl named Salima with an extraordinary voice and manages her through Afghanistan's version of American Idol; Afghan Star. The story is very loosely based on true events covered in the 2009 documentary Afghan Star, and is dedicated to one of the stars of that film - Setara Hussainzada. But while Afghan Star has a 100% approval rating on RottenTomatoes, Rock The Kasbah walked away with 8%. Yes, 8%. So, why is this film so shit?
One IMDb review states "it's not as good as the song", and that's a good way to begin. While The Clash's 'Rock The Casbah' is a classic, this Rock The Kasbah is a forgettable mess. Let's start off with the positives. Firstly, Bill Murray is in it. Bill Murray can make even the worst material bearable, and he does that to a certain extent here. He's his usual dry self, and if you're a Bill Murray fan, you'll find his scenes watchable. If you're not a Bill Murray fan, I don't want to know you. And the second positive of this film is that, while he was originally cast in it, Shia LaBeouf dropped out. That's a positive of any film. Shia LaBeouf is not in it. Rejoice!
And now it's onto the negatives. Firstly, and most importantly, Rock The Kasbah just doesn't know what it is - or why it exists. The film feels like a big aimless missed opportunity. The jokes are few-and-far-between, and the film's attempts to send some sort of political/cultural message are a misfire. Rock The Kasbah plays fast and loose with the culture it portrays and could arguably come off as offensive, but not offensive in a risqué and humorous way. No, just offensive in a grossly incompetent way. Secondly, Rock The Kasbah boats a pretty strong cast around Murray. Bruce Willis, Danny McBride, Zooey Deschanel, Kate Hudson…And yet, by the time the film is finished, you forget they were even in it. They're wasted.
But then again, when you consider how much of a legend Bill Murray is, he's wasted too. The film's main problem is the clueless screenplay from Mitch Glazer and Barry Levinson putting the 'dire' in 'direction'. And for those of you who don't know, Levinson directed 'Rain Man' and 'Good Morning Vietnam'...I guess no hot streak lasts forever. But I truly hope this isn't the beginning of a bad final chapter of Murray's career. Nobody wants to see him go the way of Pacino and De Niro, taking absolutely any film he's offered and making a fool of himself – unintentionally. Bill Murray is a God and, hopefully, this is just a little blip. Hell, he was perfect in The Jungle Book this year.
Rock The Kasbah is a mixed bag of confusion and mediocrity. Why is it here? Why does it exist? Why did so much talent create such a waste-of-space film? Who is to blame? These are questions we may never be able to answer. But even if we could, we will have moved on before we work it out. Rock The Kasbah is destined to be forgotten and ignored alongside Murray's other mistakes, like Garfield and…Garfield 2.
There is very little to recommend with Rock The Kasbah. But, anything with Bill Murray gets a couple of stars, because y'know…Bill Murray. 2/5

Samuel Beckett in Company
Pop Beckett: Intersections with Popular Culture

When Samuel Beckett's work first appeared, it was routinely described, by Adorno amongst others, as a clear example of European high culture. However, this judgement ignored an aspect of Beckett's work and its reception that is, arguably, not yet fully understood; the intimate relation between his work and popular culture. Beckett used popular cultural forms; but popular culture has also found a place both for the work and for the man. This collection of essays examines how popular cultural forms and media are woven into the fabric of Beckett's works, and how Beckett continues to have far-reaching impact on popular culture today in a host of different forms, in film and on television, from comics to meme culture, tourism to marketing.
Paul Stewart is Professor of Literature at the University of Nicosia. He is the author of two books on Beckett—Sex and Aesthetics in Samuel Beckett's Works (Palgrave, 2011) and Zone of Evaporation: Samuel Beckett's Disjunctions (Rodopi, 2006)—and the series editor for 'Samuel Beckett in Company', published by ibidem Press. He has published widely on Beckett in such journals as The Journal of Beckett Studies and Samuel Beckett Today / Aujourd'hui. He is also a creative writer (his novel Now Then was published by Armida in 2014) and a performer in theatre, television, and film.
David Pattie is Senior Lecturer in Drama at the University of Birmingham. He is the author of three books (The Complete Critical Guide to Samuel Beckett (2001), Rock Music in Performance (2007), and Modern British Playwrights: the 1950s (2012)). He has also co-edited two books with Sean Albiez: Kraftwerk: Music Non-Stop (2010) and Brian Eno: Oblique Music (2016). Furthermore, he was part of the Staging Beckett research project, and he has published extensively on Beckett, contemporary performance, popular culture, popular music, and Scottish theatre.
"Samuel Beckett—the 'moody man of letters'—can be found in the most unexpected places, from the Muppets to Game of Thrones. The essays in this superb volume patiently explore new tributaries of Beckett's reception and examine his status as a pop, 'mod' icon. In so doing, they reveal new perspectives for understanding both Beckett's works and his legacies, showing both how he engages with popular culture as well as how popular culture engages with Beckett."—Dr Sam Slote, Trinity College Dublin

"Do You Really Enjoy the Modern Play?": Beckett on Commercial Television

Television was the key popular medium of the second half of the twentieth century in the UK, and Beckett's work was consistently aired by BBC, the British non-commercial TV broadcaster that had already featured his work on radio since the mid-1950s. But Beckett's work also appeared on Independent Television (ITV), the commercially-funded British television channel set up in 1955 to rival BBC. The commercial ABC TV company made the series The Present Stage for ITV in 1966. In its feature announcing the series, the TV Times listings magazine asked "Do you really enjoy the modern play like Look Back in Anger or Waiting for Godot? A new 13-week series, The Present Stage, starts next Sunday and is designed to help you enjoy and understand modern plays." The series was based on a popular book by John Kershaw, and alongside Beckett's drama it dealt with plays by the dramatists Arnold Wesker, Max Frisch, Eugene Ionesco and Harold Pinter, each of which were landmarks in London theatre at the time. The series was broadcast on Sundays, following a home improvement programme, and this chapter asks what it meant for the ITV channel to screen a programme about Beckett's drama amongst televised church services and home decor advice. The chapter places Beckett's drama in the context of dynamic instability in British culture, when the categories of the popular and the elite were being contested, to argue that ITV's programme contributed to a cultural revolution.

Model stitched on: 28 count Vintage linen from Wichelt Imports, Inc.
Model size: 11.5" x 11.5"
Description: A pair of fanciful, stylized birds, each within a luxuriant foliage border. Deep, rich colors: blues, greens, and golds, and a square format make these dramatic designs suitable for either framing or pillow tops.
Background Information: This pair was created in response to requests for home-decor designs. I chose bold, deep colors, and time-tested favorites: birds and foliage and a square format for maximum versatility in end-usage. I also designed them using all whole cross stitches, so the designs would translate to wool and canvas.
Stitching Comments: I would rate these designs as fairly easy to stitch: they are not large, and are all whole stitches, with no backstitching. Although there are blended floss colors (about one third), the charts are computer generated and very clear, making these designs suitable for a relatively inexperienced stitcher.
