Dozens killed, injured in apparent stampede during Lag B'Omer in Meron
April 30, 2021 by J-Wire Newsdesk
Israel is in shock and dismay following the death of 45 and the injuring of some 150 people during Lag BaOmer festivities at Mount Meron on Thursday, one of the worst disasters in the country's history.

Hundreds of thousands of Jewish worshipers arrived at the gravesite of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai to celebrate Lag BaOmer and participate in the traditional bonfire lighting.
At about 1 am, the throngs bottlenecked at one of the entrances to one of the celebration complexes and hundreds of people were crushed, many suffocating under the mass and the intense heat.
The police, MDA, ZAKA, United Hatzalah and IDF forces worked through the night to evacuate the wounded and tend to the dead.
United Hatzalah volunteer EMT Yehuda Gottleib, who was one of the first responders at the scene of the mass casualty incident in Meron, recalled that "when I saw dozens of people fall on top of one another during the collapse. A large number of them were crushed and lost consciousness. I immediately requested backup from the on-site dispatchers and told them to send as many additional volunteers and medical personnel as they could to the scene and that we had dozens of injuries."
Vice President of the Volunteer Department of United Hatzalah Lazar Hyman who was at the scene said that "this is one of the worst tragedies that I have ever experienced. I have not seen anything like this since I entered into the field of emergency medicine back in 2000."
CEO of United Hatzalah Eli Pollack, who ran the on-site dispatch center during the incident said that "this is a very tragic and unusual incident that sadly cost many people their lives. Dozens of our volunteers performed CPR on the victims who were crushed, while others treated more than 100 people who were injured with varying degrees of severity. Our ambulance teams transported the injured to Ziv Hospital in Tzefat, Rambam Hospital in Haifa, and the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya."
Others were evacuated by MDA and IDF helicopters to hospitals in the center of the country.
The names of the victims have yet to be published, and several have yet to be identified, but it is known that the victims include children, and possibly members of the same family.
It is unclear what caused the terrible disaster, but witnesses claim that a police checkpoint that attempted to slow the flow of worshippers toward one of the complexes may have caused the pressure in the crowd that led to the stampede.
Commander of the police's northern district Shimon Lavie took responsibility for the incident, and Internal Affairs announced that it has launched an investigation, alongside the police's own probe into the incident.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived at Mont Meron on Friday morning to be briefed on site about the catastrophe.
"A terrible disaster on Mount Meron. We all pray for the healing of the injured. I want to strengthen the rescue forces operating in the area," he tweeted.
The country is now preparing for dozens of funerals and towns and cities across the country which will take place on Friday, Saturday night and Sunday.

In Australia, co-CEO of The Executive Council of Australian Jewry Alex Ryvchin commented: "This is an overwhelming tragedy and one of the worst disasters Israel has seen in peacetime. To see a festival of celebration result in loss of life on such a scale is heartbreaking. The Australian Jewish community joins the people of Israel in mourning. We pray for the recovery of the injured and for the souls of the deceased."
Dr Colin Rubenstein, executive director of The Australia/Israel and Jewish Affairs Council said: "We are deeply shaken to learn of the tragic disaster at yesterday's Lag B'Omer event in Israel. We mourn those who have lost their lives and send our heartfelt condolences to their families, friends and the people of Israel. We wish strength and courage to those who have suffered injuries and wish them a speedy recovery. We send our gratitude to the first responders and medical staff involved."

The Zionist Federation of Australia's President Jeremy Leibler stated: "This news is simply terrible. Our hearts go out to the dozens of family who will spend this Shabbat in deepest mourning. May the Almighty comfort them among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.
Israel and the Diaspora are an extended family, and we are all hurting today", concluded Mr Leibler.
The ZFA also paid tribute to the quick and professional response of Israel's emergency services, who quickly gathered from across the country.
Co-presidents David Knoll and Brian Samuels said the Union for Progressive Judaism is greatly saddened to hear of the loss of life and many injuries suffered at the Lag B'Omer celebrations at Mount Meron last night.
They said: "At a time when Jewish communities are accustomed to celebrating joyfully, experiencing such a tragedy causes pain for the entire Jewish community worldwide.
Our Jewish tradition maintains kol yisrael areivim zeh ba zeh. All Jews are interconnected/responsible for one another.
May the injured be blessed with a speedy recovery, and the families of the deceased be comforted."
Rabbi Yaakov Glasman, president of the Rabbinical Association of Australasia told J-Wire: "The Rabbinical Association of Australasia joins world Jewry in expressing its profound shock and deep sorrow following the indescribable tragedy that occurred in Meron. We pray for the families of those who lost loved ones and for a full and speedy recovery for those who were injured."

Iran's President Rouhani hailed as country's answer to Obama
An MTV-style video shows Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani, riding high after 100 days in office
By Colin Freeman, and Naeim Karimi
5:57PM GMT 30 Nov 2013
With its gentle acoustic guitar and message of tolerance and world peace, the MTV-style video has the feel of a celebrity charity song. But as a succession of young men and women sing in front of the microphones, the presence of a sombre, white-turbaned cleric shows that this is no routine pop production.
Still triumphant from his recent nuclear deal with the West, Iran's new president, Hassan Rouhani, got a new starring role last week - this time in a music video marking his 100th day in office. Given that musical instruments are banned on state television, its depiction of a male guitarist an d female drummer would itself be enough to annoy the Islamic Republic's hardliners. But the lyrics, too, could not be further from the "Death to America" rhetoric associated with Iran during the last 30 years.
"Let our hearts be cleaned of resentment, let conciliation and friendship substitute animosity," the song goes. "The road ahead is long and I am a new traveller." Shot by the team that did Mr Rouhani's summer election campaign, the video, entitled "New Traveler", attracted nearly half a millions viewers in its first day online, many of them noting its clear similarities to Barack Obama's 2008 "Yes We Can" film.
And much though Iran's hardliners may resent it, right now the comparison seems justified.
For 100 days in, Mr Rouhani is riding high on the same kind of popularity that Mr Obama enjoyed at the start of his first term, with reform-minded Iranians finally hopeful that the country is heading for better times.
India 'expanding its uranium enrichment programme'
Iran 'has right' to enrich uranium
Hassan Rouhani says Iran won't give up 'rights to uranium enrichment'
Rouhani: no nation should possess nuclear weapons
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad challenges Hassan Rouhani to debate
Rather like his ultra-conservative predecessor, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the silver-bearded 64-year-old was something of an unknown quantity when he swept to power in a surprise victory in June.
Iran's all-powerful Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, rigged the contest to allow only candidates loyal to him to stand, so few had real confidence in Mr Rouhani's reformist pledges. And even if they turned out to be genuine, the expectation was that any good intentions would flounder in the face of opposition from hardliners.
However, the historic accord on Iran's nuclear program, which saw the first direct contact between Iranian and US presidents in more than 30 years, has shown the mild-mannered cleric to be a shrewd political operator. Not only will deal ease the sanctions that have crippled the Iranian economy, it has given him huge political kudos that may now allow him to push through reforms.
Nowhere is the sense of optimism clearer than in the fashionable cafes of northern Tehran, home to the middle class reformists who had begun to despair of anything ever changing since the violent suppression of 2009's anti-regime protests. For most of the past four years, many gave up even talking politics - partly for fear of arrest, and partly because the subject was simply too depressing.
Today, though, the cafes are once again abuzz, this time with talk of how Mr Rouhani is gradually rolling back the strictures of the Ahmadinejad years.
In September, the hated morality police were barred from arresting women deemed to be immodestly dressed, while the House of Cinema, an arthouse theatre behind several internationally acclaimed films, was allowed to reopen. Then, last month, the culture ministry announced a review of 2006 book censorship rules, which banned both Iranian literary classics and international best sellers like the Da Vinci Code.
"I see hope, I see motivation and I see expectations rising, which is good," said Saba Hossein*, a 25-year-old engineer who actively campaigned in Mr Rouhani's election. "People are demanding more and want a better life."
Perhaps the clearest sign of Mr Rouhani's success, though, is the gloom in the hardline camp, which opposed to any nuclear deal at all. While the agreement is known to have had the tacit blessing of the Supreme Leader, they believe his hand was forced by voters willing to sacrifice national pride for economic comfort.
"We pious individuals feel a lump in our throat from the nuclear agreement," said Ali Ahmed, a member of Basiji, or religious militia, who is proud of how he beat up protesters during the 2009 uprising.
"We are not the type to go against the wishes of the Leader, who has asked to be patient and not voice our dissatisfaction. But it pains us to see that people are willing to forego all our nuclear achievements just because the economy is in a dire state. Unfortunately, the new generation is so accustomed to luxury and comfort that they cannot resist like the generation of youth who fought the war against Saddam Hussein."
At just 23, Mr Ahmed was not even alive during Iran's 1980-88 war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq, which cost half a million Iranian lives and remains the defining struggle of the Islamic Republic.
But the fact that he mentions it shows the difficulty Mr Rouhani may have in keeping the conservatives on board: to the hardliners, any rapprochement with the West is seen as a betrayal amounting to treason.
Nonetheless, last week Mr Rouhani felt confident to take the airwaves to trash Mr Ahmadinejad, telling state television how inflation soared to 40 per cent under his predecessor, while the economy had shrunk by six per cent per annum.
"These facts show the conditions we inherited from the previous government, and in what conditions we must grapple with the problems," he said.
True, given Mr Ahmadinejad's notorious economic illiteracy, which saw him replace finance ministry technocrats with religious ideologues, it has not been hard for Mr Rowhani to improve upon his record. Simple confidence-building meaures like putting the technocrats back in their jobs has helped boost Tehran's stock market by 25 per cent since he took office.
As such, his criticisms of Mr Ahmadinejad drew outrage from Iran's conservative press. It also slyly pointed out that his predecessor's record in building up Iran's stock of uranium-enriching centrifuges had given Mr Rouhani plenty to bargain with at last month's nuclear talks.
"(Iran) had 19,000 centrifuges while talking to the six world powers," said Mohammad Kazem Anbar-Loui, editor-in-chief of Resalat, an ultra-conservative newspaper . "People know that the capability has not taken place in the recent 100 days - it is the product of eight years of effort by the previous government."
But like Mr Obama, the real challenge for Mr Rowhani now may be in managing expectations. His modest progress on the economic and cultural files have not yet been matched on the rather thornier issue of human rights, where he is under pressure to make much more radical improvements.
While one of his first acts in office was to release 80 people jailed in the aftermath of 2009's protests, nearly ten times that many are still thought to be in custody. Among them are Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karoubi, the two main opposition leaders who have languished under house arrest ever since the disputed 2009 elections. So far there is not even talk of them being released.
Mr Rouhani also attracted ridicule recently by declaring that writers in Iran were free to practice their craft - prompting a number of journalists to step forward with court orders banning them from doing precisely that.
For the "New Traveller", there is still clearly a long way to go.

How Old is Nancy Pelosi and How Many Kids Does She Have With Husband Paul?
By Chinedu Ndubueze
Nancy Pelosi is a famous American politician of Italian descent. She is 82 years old and has five children (Nancy Corinne Prowda, Christine Paule Pelosi, Jacqueline Pelosi, Paul Pelosi, Jr., and Alexandra Pelosi) with her husband of almost six decades, Paul Pelosi.
The world has always had a healthy dose of respect for women who are breaking new grounds for their kind in the world of politics like Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro Pelosi. She transcended the gender barrier to become the first female Democratic leader of the House of Representatives. She also made history as the first female speaker of the house, a feat that has distinguished her as the first female politician to ever attain one of the highest political offices in the history of the United States of America.
Her career journey dates back to 1976 when she was elected as a Democratic National Committee member from California. Nancy first became a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California in 1987 following the death of Sala Burton. She represented the 5th district from that year to 1993, the 8th district from the latter year to 2013, and the 12th district since 2013.
Other notable political offices she has held include serving as the House Minority Whip from 2002 to 2003; Leader of the House Democratic Caucus since 2003, House Minority Leader from 2003 to 2007 and again from 2011 to 2019, and Speaker of the United States House of Representatives first from 2007 to 2011, and then since 2019.
Profile Summary of Nancy Pelosi
Full Name: Nancy Patricia Pelosi (néeD'Alesandro)
Place of Birth: Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.
High School: Institute of Notre Dame, Baltimore, Maryland
College: Trinity College, Washington, D.C. (BA Political Science)
Political Party: Democratic
Mother: Annunciata M. "Nancy" D'Alesandro (née Lombardi)
Father: Thomas D'Alesandro Jr.
No. of Siblings: Six
Husband: Paul Pelosi (1963 – Present)
No. of Children: Five
The American Politician of Italian Descent Is 82 Years Old
You wouldn't have to search hard to find that Nancy Pelosi was born in Baltimore, Maryland. She was born on the 26th of March 1940 and is the youngest and only girl child of the seven children of Annunciata M. "Nancy" D'Alesandro (née Lombardi) and Thomas D'Alesandro, Jr. It is also not a secret that the famous American politician is of Italian descent and hails from a political family.
Reports have it that her mother is originally from Italy. From what we gathered, she was born in Fornelli, a comune located in the Province of Isernia in Molise, South Italy. It is said that she came to the United States of America sometime in 1912. Like her mother, Nancy Pelosi's father was also of Italian ancestry traced to Genoa, Venice, and Abruzzo. Hailing from a political family, Nancy got involved with politics when she was still a child.
A post shared by Nancy Pelosi (@speakerpelosi)
Her father was a popular Democratic Congressman from Maryland when she was born and around the time she was seven or eight years old, he emerged as the Mayor of Baltimore. Little Nancy was often seen around her father at his campaign events. Her mother who was also active in politics and known for rallying Democratic women together reportedly taught Nancy the far-reaching benefits of social networking in politics.
Apart from her parents, she was also influenced by her late brother Thomas D'Alesandro III; a Democrat who served as the 43rd mayor of Baltimore from 1967 to 1971.
The congresswoman had her high school education at the Institute of Notre Dame which was a well-known Catholic all-girls high school in Baltimore. After this, she proceeded to Trinity College, a private university in Washington, D.C. where she bagged a degree in political science.
Nancy Pelosi Was Elected To Her First Political Position In 1976 When She Was 36 Years Old
The fact that Pelosi studied political science in college, amongst other things, suggests that she had already decided on what she wanted to spend the rest of her life doing around the time she graduated from high school. She dived right into politics after she graduated from college in 1962.
In the 1960s, she interned for Senator Daniel Brewster, a Democratic member of the United States Senate who represented the State of Maryland from 1963 to 1969. She volunteered for party events and political campaigns, working her way up the ladder and popularizing her name in Democratic politics.
The first major leap in her career came after she relocated to San Francisco and befriended Phillip Burton, the late American politician who was famous for serving as the United States Representative from California from 1964 until he passed in 1983. By 1976, Nancy has gained enough clout in Democratic politics that she was elected as a Democratic National Committee member from California. The following year saw her emerge as the party chair for Northern California and in 1981, she became the head of the California Democratic Party.
Nancy held this position until 1983 and became the chairwoman of the San Francisco Democratic National Convention Host Committee in 1984. Thereafter, she served as the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee finance chair; this was from 1985 to 1986. All of these positions prepared her to become a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives when the opportunity called for it in 1987.
She Was 47 Years Old When She Became a Member of The U.S. House of Representatives In 1987
It was on the 2nd of June 1987 that a 47 years old Nancy Pelosi assumed office as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from California. As it played out, her friend Phillip Burton died in 1983 and was succeeded by his wife Sala Burton after she won a special election held that same year. After this, Sala won the 1984 and 1986 United States House of Representatives elections in California but declared that she wouldn't run for re-election in 1988 as she had been diagnosed with cancer in late 1986.
With that, she named Nancy as her successor and rallied the allies of the Burton family to support her when the time comes. As fate would have it, Sala passed on the 1st of February 1987, about a month after she was sworn in for her second term. A special election was held on the 7th of April that year to determine her successor and Nancy narrowly defeated late Harry Britt to emerge the candidate of the Democratic party. She then defeated Harriet Ross of the Republican party to take the office and represented the 5th district until 1993.
Pelosi Became The First Female Speaker of the United States House of Representatives at The Age of 66 in 2007
From 1993 to 2013, Nancy Pelosi represented California's 8th congressional district. It was within this time frame as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives that she first became the Speaker of the Houses. The first political office that nudged her towards speakership came in 2001 when she was elected the House Minority Whip.
It was a historic moment as she was the first woman in the history of the country to hold the post. The following year, Dick Gephardt who was the Minority Leader vacated the position to seek the party nomination for the 2004 presidential election.
With that, Pelosi was elected to replace Gephardt as the House leader of the party and she yet again, made history as the first woman to hold such a position in the United States. Following the November 7, 2006, United States House of Representatives elections, the Democrats picked up 30 seats which positioned the party to take control of the House. Given that Nancy Pelosi has been leading the party in the House, she naturally became the top candidate for the speakership position. Unsurprisingly, her party unanimously picked her for the position; this was on the 16th of November 2006.
On the 3rd of January 2007, she defeated John Boehner of the Republican party in the election for Speaker of the House and was sworn in by the dean of the House of Representatives at that point – late John Dingell of the Democratic party. As such, Nancy got recognized by history as the first woman to hold the speakership. She also became the first Italian-American and the first Californian to hold the office.
The Politician Was 78 Years Old When She Was Elected For Her Second Speakership
At the November 2010 United States House of Representatives elections, Nancy Pelosi's party lost 63 seats and control of the House of Representatives. So she returned to being the minority leader after defeating Heath Shuler in the caucus vote. After the 2016 presidential election, Tim Ryan sought to take over from Pelosi as House minority leader; this was in mid-November 2016. Towards the end of that month, Nancy soundly defeated him to retain the position.
Some members of her party agitated for her replacement after the party lost four consecutive special elections in the House in 2017. Nothing came out of this and Nancy served as the House minority leader consecutively from the 112th to the 115th Congress, spanning from 2011 to 2019. As fate would have it, the Democrats regained control of the House after the 2018 midterm elections held on the 6th of November 2018. On the 28th of that same month, she was nominated for her second speakership.
She was opposed by fellow Democrats who wanted a new generation of leadership but Nancy triumphed after she reportedly made a deal to not serve for more than four years. It was on the 3rd of January 2019 that she was re-elected to serve as the speaker of the United States House of Representatives. Thus far, Pelosi is the only woman to serve as speaker in the history of the country and it seems she doesn't have plans to retire from politics. It was reported in December 2021 that she announced she would run for re-election come 2022.
Nancy Pelosi Got Married To Her Husband At The Age of 23
It's no secret that the veteran politician has a fulfilling family life, just as her career has been rewarding. She has been married to the husband of her youth for multiple decades and happily so. Nancy is married to Paul Francis Pelosi Sr. who was born on the 15th of April 1940. This means he is 82 years old and Nancy is three weeks older than him.
Paul was born and raised in San Francisco, California. While he is mostly known as the husband of the current U.S. House Speaker, Nancy Pelosi, he is a prominent businessman. Following his graduation from high school, Paul furthered his education at Georgetown University, a private research university in Washington, D.C. There, he obtained a bachelor of science degree in foreign service. He would later earn an MBA from the business school of New York University — Stern School of Business.
Nancy Pelosi's husband is the founder and owner of a popular real estate and venture capital investment/consulting firm called Financial Leasing Services, Inc. Reports have it that Paul and his wife have acquired riches estimated at around $114 million through the investment company based in San Francisco. Paul was also the owner of the Sacramento Mountain Lions, a defunct professional American football team that competed in the United Football League.
The Couple Met While Nancy Was a College Student and Got Married In September 1963
Although details of how they met and fell in love are sketchy, it is said that Paul and Nancy met while she was schooling at Trinity College. In 1962, the politician graduated from the aforementioned college, and the following year, she got married to Paul. The couple walked down the aisle on the 7th of September 1963 at the Cathedral of Mary Our Queen in Baltimore, Maryland.
After they got married, they decided to begin their life as a couple in New York but would soon relocate to Paul's hometown — they relocated to San Francisco in 1969 and still regards it as their home. Because of Nancy's career, they also have a home in Washington, D.C. It is said that Paul normally spends three weeks in San Francisco where he runs his business and dedicates every last week of each month to be with his wife in Washington.
By 2023, the couple would be celebrating 60 years in marriage. From what we know, theirs' have been a blissful union blessed with five kids.
Meet Nancy Pelosi's Five Children With Her Husband, Paul
The five children of the famous politician and her husband are Nancy, Christine, Jacqueline, Paul, and Alexandra. They also have at least nine grandchildren.

Nancy Pelosi gave birth for the first time when she was 24 years old, roughly a year after she got married. Although she was named after her mother, Nancy Corinne Pelosi who adopted her husband's surname in 2008, is one of the least popular kids of the famous politician.
Most people learned about Nancy Prowda when she commented on her mother's response to President Trump's cancelation of Nancy Pelosi's scheduled trip to a war zone after she stopped him from giving his State of the Union speech in the House while the government was shut down.
Nancy Prowda, from what we gathered, is college-educated. She graduated from Mount Vernon College and once worked as the director of group sales at the Fairmont Hotel located in San Jose, California. She has been married since the 8th of April 1995 to Theodore Jeffrey Prowda.
Fondly called Jeff, he graduated from the University of Denver and later obtained a master's degree in special education from the public university in St. Cloud, Minnesota – St. Cloud University.

He graduated from Georgetown University and worked as a principal in the corporate finance and institutional sales of Bank of America for five years; from 1996 to 2001. In November 2003, he became a loan officer for the bank's branch in San Francisco and held the position until August 2008.

My Home and Garden: Hawaiian Nobile type Dendrobiums...one of my passions.
Hawaiian Nobile type Dendrobiums...one of my passions.
I've just returned from a three week vacation in Kona Hawaii. It is such an unbelievably beautiful place. My vacation always includes trips to the garden centres at Home Depot, Lowes and Walmart. And of course the huge orchid selection at Costco. In garden centres you can get orchids for about $9.99-12.99 and lemons, avocados, palms and banana trees...and on and on. In Costco they have a huge selection of orchids. I'm getting excited again just thinking about it. As low as $6.99 per plant. My first trip to Hawaii we walked into the open lobby of our hotel and on the large round Koa table was a huge, low round bowl with about six Dendrobium orchid plants in full flower with pots hidden in the moss. They are a hawaiian orchid. So every time I see dendrobiums, I always think about doing that should I ever get a place there. A girl has to dream.


On May 23rd, the Federal Republic of Germany turned 60; MEDIA CONSULTA (MC) organised the big birthday party in Berlin: All citizens were invited to celebrate this event together at the Brandenburg Gate as well as at the boulevard Straße des 17. Juni. Among others, the following celebrities joined the festival: Thomas Gottschalk, Otto, Mario Adorf, Iris Berben and PUR.
With a blend of information, culture, music and entertainment, a varied agenda was arranged. Additional to the overall concept and entire communication, the lead agency for the Federal Republic was responsible for the organisation and implementation of the major event in Germany's capital. On a double platform at the Brandenburg Gate, musicians and bands such as Udo Jürgens, PUR, Otto & Die Friesenjungs and The BossHoss heated up the atmosphere between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. In the afternoon, Beethoven's "Ode to Joy" was performed by Berlin's State Orchestra under direction of Daniel Barenboim and sung by the choir of the Berlin State Opera with famous soloists.
In different thematic blocks, Thomas Gottschalk, Sandra Maischberger and Katrin Müller-Hohenstein talked to renowned personalities that have influenced Germany since 1949. At the Academy of the Arts at the Pariser Platz, Iris Radisch and Ulrich Wickert presented readings and discussions with authors, actors and historians as Uwe Tellkamp, Julia Franck, Julia Schoch, Ingo Schulze and Uwe Timm. Furthermore, the agenda included readings with Ulrich Matthes, Nina Hoss, Iris Berben and Mario Adorf. Along the festival district at the boulevard Straße des 17. Juni, all Federal Ministries, the Federal Parliament, the Federal Council, the Federal Constitutional Court, all 16 Federal States as well as social and corporate organisations showcased themselves. Our European neighbours also attended the birthday party. All in all, more than 80 institutions presented themselves over a stretch measuring more than 1.2 kilometres. Along the whole area visitors could buy food for moderate prices.
Next to the open day of the Federal Government, the citizens festival for the 60th anniversary is one of the highlights of the Federal Government which MC plans and organises this year. Since 2007, MC has been responsible for the communication and event organisation for the Press and Information Office of the Federal Republic of Germany.

Alshon Jeffery's return a start for developing Bears offense
LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - Quarterback Jay Cutler became reacquainted with wide receiver Alshon Jeffery when the Chicago Bears began a three-day minicamp on Tuesday.
It's been a while.
The two have a lot of catching up to do in the Bears' offense under new coordinator Dowell Loggains after Jeffery followed up an injury-filled season by staying away from the team's voluntary organized team activity work at Halas Hall.
"I'm not worried about that at all — we're going to catch him up," Cutler said. "He'll be ready."
Cutler spent much of last season missing his top four receivers because of injuries, including rookie draft pick Kevin White for the entire season.
Jeffery, designated a franchise player during free agency, has been working out on his own. He's due $14.6 million this year, but wants Bears GM Ryan Pace to negotiate a long-term deal.
Asked if he plans to be at the start of training camp in July, Jeffery said, "That's the goal. But that's between Mr. Pace and my agent."
Cutler expressed confidence in Jeffery's ability to master any additions to the offense Loggains has made since he took over after former coordinator Adam Gase became the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.
"Alshon is a quiet guy," Cutler said. "He keeps to himself. I don't say much to him out there because I know that he's hard on himself. He gives us everything he has when he can go.
"I just try to encourage him and make sure that he knows what he's going to do and he kind of does his thing."
Jeffery worked out on his own in Florida, and said his offseason conditioning hasn't varied greatly despite problems with pulled hamstrings and groin strains last season.
"I was just working on some soft tissue issues," Jeffery said. "I was working out with my trainer and some other people I was seeing down there."
Jeffery could issue no guarantees he'll be healthy this season.
"I mean I did some things this offseason to prevent them, but overall with injuries, this is the game of football," Jeffery said. "There is a 99 percent chance you are going to get hurt."
Cutler said he's actually working with two receivers who are trying to play catch up.
"They're still learning," Cutler said. "Al has got a little catching up to do with some of the stuff that we're putting in and then Kevin, taking a year off, it's hard for anybody to not play football for a year. He played at West Virginia, where our offense is a little bit different.
"So he's kind of got a year and a half of just straight catching up with what he has to do in a short amount of time."
Coach John Fox refused to call the task ahead of his receivers a simple one.
"Well I think a lot's changed," he said. "We have different players, some different coaches.
"I kind of hope they have changed. We were 6-10 and in last place, so, I'm hoping to change that, too."
Cutler hasn't had all four of his top wide receivers together since last spring. On Tuesday, even though he had White and Jeffery, he was without Marquess Wilson. At the start of practice, Wilson suffered a leg injury and left the practice field.
Cutler believes one of the biggest adjustments is dealing with Loggains, who was the team's quarterbacks coach last season. Loggains has a reputation for being a bit more blunt than Gase.
"There's definitely some honesty there," Cutler said. "He's not afraid to tell me when I'm completely wrong, and rightfully so. I like to tell him whenever I think we're not doing things right or we need to change things.
"I think at the core of that we kind of cut through some stuff and we get things done a little bit quicker."
The Bears ranked 21st on offense last season when Cutler had a career-best passer rating of 92.3. He threw for 21 touchdowns with 11 interceptions.
"We've got to be better than last year and that's what we tell the guys," Cutler said. "Even though we are in Year 2 and we've got some new pieces out here, and Kevin and Alshon's been gone, that's not an excuse for us.
"We didn't turn this offense over. We're have the same terminology. The same stuff. We've got to improve in the direction we want to go."
NOTES: Linebacker Pernell McPhee is being rested until the start of training camp. He underwent offseason arthroscopic knee surgery. ... Guard Ted Larsen did not practice, but Fox did not say if the veteran's absence was because of an injury.

Yatsubusa Yezo Spruce has attractive grayish green foliage which emerges buttery yellow in spring. The tiny needles are highly ornamental and remain grayish green throughout the winter. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. The rough brown bark adds an interesting dimension to the landscape.
Yatsubusa Yezo Spruce is a dense multi-stemmed evergreen shrub with a more or less rounded form. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with less refined foliage.
Yatsubusa Yezo Spruce will grow to be about 4 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 4 feet. It has a low canopy. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for 40 years or more.

Canada's free fall
WORLD Radio - Canada's free fall
Christians push back against religious liberty restrictions
Insanity Underground Photography/iStock image
NICK EICHER, HOST: Coming up next on The WORLD and Everything in It: religious liberty in Canada.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is what protects freedom of conscience and religion in that country.
That includes the right to gather for worship, and to speak and live out one's views in public without fear of persecution.
But as is the case in the United States, governments regularly test the scope and durability of those liberties. And amid pandemic policies, those freedoms face numerous challenges.
MARY REICHARD, HOST: The Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms is a legal defense organization that helps to guard those liberties in Canada.
Marty Moore is an attorney with the Justice Center, and he joins us now with an update on several religious rights cases. Marty, good morning!
MARTY MOORE, GUEST: Good morning, Mary.
REICHARD: Let's start in British Columbia. This is a case about the government completely prohibiting worship services and certain other indoor gatherings until at least the middle of this month. Tell us about that.
MOORE: Yep, that's exactly right. In British Columbia, you could go to a restaurant and join five of your friends at a table, take your masks off, eat. But if you showed up at a religious service with other than just yourself, you would be subject to fines. And that was an order that was implemented for at least six months. And to this date, the government of British Columbia is still imposing prohibitions on religious services in northern BC, unless you're vaccinated, for example. And so we have a huge violation of religious freedom in British Columbia. It's been disrespected, it's been discriminated against in regard to other activities that have been permitted. And we are now at the Court of Appeal in British Columbia in regard to religious freedom to gather for worship.
REICHARD: Okay, and you're defending one church that was fined for conducting a Zoom service with a skeletal crew of a few people to lead the service and run the sound. What's the latest with that?
MOORE: Yeah, that's exactly it. It's shocking to think that when the church is actually doing what the government had told them to do - conduct virtual services - that they were being fined for, for doing just that - gathering in a church building five or six people, a sound tech and worship leaders. And, you know, we've been in negotiations with the Crown, shockingly, they're not backing down. So this isn't just a, you know, a slip, oops, we violated religious freedom. This is an intentional effort targeting faith groups who are gathering in exercise of their freedoms.
REICHARD: We talked with you, I think back in the Fall, about pastors James Coates and Tim Stephens. They've actually served jail time for holding worship services in violation of government orders. What's happening with their cases?
MOORE: Their cases are still ongoing. We have launched a civil lawsuit against the government authorities who arrested Tim Stevens under really false pretenses in our view, and that now has opened up a new front pushing back against the government. Of course, we are challenging the constitutionality of the orders under which those individuals were imprisoned in the first place. And there's a 10 day trial scheduled here in February to address those constitutional issues in Alberta.
REICHARD: You're also defending other religious leaders in similar cases — in Manitoba and Ontario, I believe. Tell us about those.
MOORE: Yeah, we, Manitoba, another pastor who's been arrested by (?), we're representing him, you know, Ontario, Pastor Henry Hildebrand and Jacob Briome (?). In their churches, they are subject to millions of dollars in fines. We are going to court to assert that when you categorically prohibit and I mean, Ontario went up to five gathering. It went up to a 10 gathering limit after we sued them on the five gathering limit, but still prohibited outdoor church services in some capacities, or limited them strictly to under 10 people. We are challenging those orders across the board and a constitutional challenge on behalf of these pastors. And that hearing is is set to go here in the next month or two as well.
REICHARD: Marty, what are the pandemic rules and restrictions in Canada right now regarding services? I guess they vary by province?
MOORE: Yeah, they absolutely vary province by province. In some cases like British Columbia, that I mentioned, they vary by locations within a province. So the northern British Columbia area, the provincial health officers deem that to be a low vaccination rate. So you can't even go to church unless you're vaccinated in northern British Columbia. In southern British Columbia, you can go to church, but let, reduced capacity unless the church requires everyone to be vaccinated. In Quebec right now. You are not allowed to go to a house of worship at all. Those are also subject to curfew orders there. So we're seeing new restrictions announced in Ontario today, the restrictions on religious worship change from from moment to moment, day to day.
REICHARD: Canada, as I understand it, has passed a broadly worded law banning so-called conversion therapy. What can you tell us about that?
MOORE: This ban on so called conversion therapy is the broadest ban enacted in the name of conversion therapy anywhere in the world. It utilizes a definition that is unknown to medicine, unknown to psychologists, or counseling associations. It really bans the conversations that an individual would even have with their own faith leader. The implications are incredible. It actually directly discriminates against anyone on the LGBTQ spectrum, who would be seeking counseling to deal with the issues that they're facing, other than counseling that would affirm and push the ideological agenda advocated in the name of the LGBTQ community. And so this law passed by unanimous consent through the House and the Senate in Canada is actually one of the most shocking violations of religious freedom anywhere in the in the free world - or the so called free world. And, unfortunately, there's no political will to fight it in Canada, obviously. So it is likely going to end up in the courts as well.
REICHARD: I realize you are a lawyer, not a philosopher. But it's hard not to draw conclusions about the actions of the Canadian government as it views religious faith. Comment?
MOORE: Yeah, well, I mean, religious freedom is a kind of a canary in the coal mine, if you will. When it's attacked, other fundamental freedoms are quickly undermined as well. And our society has lost sight of the value of protecting the practice and expression of religious faith, despite it being in fact, the first of the fundamental freedoms protected under our charter. But government's continue to trample on religious freedom, religious freedom with generally apathy from the public, and so far near impunity from the courts, at least in regard to COVID. And the Justice Center is fighting to change that. I think people are beginning to realize when you see pastors getting arrested simply for conducting a religious service that harmed absolutely no one, we realize that our society's freedoms are are being jeopardized. And again, religious freedom being the canary in the coal mine that it is non religious people I think, are beginning to wake up to the idea that, you know, a government can't just discriminate at will against people of faith and, and that right needs to be protected. Otherwise we can risk slipping into the same kind of totalitarianism that has marred much of the world to date.
REICHARD: Marty Moore with the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has been our guest. Marty, thank you!
MOORE: Thank you, Mary.

This reminds me of the image of people in a busy restaurant staring at a family praying before eating. Religious public expressions of faith make non-believers feel uncomfortable. The LBGTQ community knows what the Bible says about this sin yet, they seek to persecute religious leaders because we have made them feel uncomfortable.

It sure looks like the LGBTQ "faith" is out to crush belief in any other faith, and so far, they are winning in Canada.

Always leave margins of 1 inch at the top , bottom and on both sides of the text, except for page numbers.
Indent the first word of a paragraph one -half inch from the left margin .
Indent set -off quotations 1 inch from the left margin.
Please don't skip the questions discussed in the previous sections.
Give utmost importance to these two sections.

"the party started on time because the guests arrived in time".
It is everybody's concern how to use prepositions ,especially with time expressions here "on"and " in" are used with time ."On time" means at the right time, on the other hand ,"in time" means early enough and not late or within the limits of the prescribed time. so the sentence means the party could be conducted at the right time because the guests had arrived early enough .

When we think of coastal cottage, seaside and vacation, we think, white, teal & aqua. In other words, we think in ocean hues. So rule #1 in creating a cottage look, is to paint your walls in these colors, and look for similar colored items to match. As well, think sun-bleached, aka pastel versions of these hues. Use lots of whites. When deciding on any color in your color scheme, and can't make up your mind: choose (off-) white.
Rule #2: lightness of being. A beach cottage is for vacation, so choose decorative items and furniture of a style that are overall light in weight (as well as color), and that are not too serious. Think white-painted rattan, but don't stop there. Sand-colored sisal rugs are another way to create that lightness of being, and create the illusion of a beach. And the list goes on.
Rule #3: create a family home. Create a collection of beach-found items that tell a story. Consider collecting several pieces of driftwood, great souvenirs from family vacations and long walks on the beach, when you were actually there. Group family beach vacation photos in hand-embellished frames made with beach shell printed frames. And include several paintings depicting … the beach, YOUR beach.
Rule #4: pair down. One of the delights of beach living is living simply. So, either give away, sell or simply hide your modern gadgets. Place all electronic tools in closed cupboards. Minimize your belongings.
Rule #5: add cheek & whimsy. Paint the inside of cabinets in bold contra-colors, line the shelves with polka dots or shell patterned cupboard paper.
Rule #6: be thrifty and craftily recycle. This is really part of rule #5. What makes a beach cottage a beach cottage, is handmade napkin rings created from pieces of driftwood, planters made of wheel barrels wrapped around with sailors' rope and/or other practical inventions made with beach recyclables.
Rule #7: decorate with nature: shells, driftwood, sand, rocks … to name a few obvious objects. However, don't forget some tropical houseplants for in and around the house, flowers, or sea grass. Palm plants are great to create a sense of the tropics.
Rule #8: as with any design project: stick to a style, theme and color pallet. So, it's either 'blue, white and red' marine colors with anything boaty; or it's all about fly fishing in off-whites and browns; or, it's 'aqua'- pastels with beach pebbles and shells, but don't mix them.
Rule #9: create water ornaments inside and outside. Seeing & hearing water will add yet another layer to the sense of being at the beach. Also purchase a few CD with crushing ocean waves and leave them on during the day.
Rule #10: let go of rules and make sure you have the space, time and tools to play. After all, it's your beach house. Invite your friends and bring out the easy cocktail entertaining set with the martini and ice. Or go it alone: kick up your feet and relax with a cosy cup of tea and a great novel.
Get the lighting right. Lamps lighting up create a relaxed atmosphere, while lamps facing down create good light for reading. Don't for get candles; any beach house needs them!!
What will be next? Beach Crafts.

OSHA Issues I2P2 White paper; Plans To Hold Review Panel On Its Proposed Rule
Wednesday, January 18, 2012 1:01 PM - Donna Puglisi - ABC News, Regulations, Safety, GA-Workplace Safety -
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently released a white paper on the value of injury and illness prevention programs (I2P2) in the workplace, noting that I2P2s lead to higher productivity and quality; reduced turnover; and greater employee satisfaction.
The white paper was OSHA's reaffirmation that it will continue to pursue its I2P2 rulemaking. Although no proposal has been made available to stakeholders, it is believed that employers will be required to implement internal safety programs that "find and fix" workplace hazards on a rolling basis. It is unclear whether OSHA's proposal will be one-size-fits-all, or whether the agency envisions a more flexible approach. Also unclear is the extent to which the enforcement of such a rule would allow for "double-dip" citations when infractions are found—once under an existing standard, and once under the new I2P2 requirements.
In the white paper, OSHA described the benefits of implementing injury and illness prevention programs in relation to cost and concluded that the adoption of such programs, "will help millions of U.S. businesses improve their compliance with existing laws and regulations, decrease the incidence of workplace injuries and illnesses, reduce costs (including significant reductions in workers' compensation premiums) and enhance their overall business operations."
OSHA also addressed the cost concerns of small businesses arguing that low-cost approaches have been shown to be effective in small businesses
In addition to issuing the white paper, on Jan. 6, OSHA notified the Small Business Administration that it intends to convene a Small Business Advocacy Review panel under the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act (SBREFA) in the next two months. The purpose of the SBREFA panel is to gather more information from small businesses on the impact the proposed rule could have.
ABC fully supports safety and health management programs in the workplace and works with its members to develop and implement effective policies; however, ABC has voiced concerns about the proposed rulemaking. Among its concerns, ABC pointed out that the rule could negatively impact employers who already have effective I2P2 programs in place on their jobsites.

Minsk through the looking glass
As any art historian will tell you, during the first 15 years or so after the October Revolution of 1917, any forms-of art in the Soviet Union, including that in the Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic as Belarus was known from 1920 onwards, was notable for its remarkable experimentation. From around 1932 onwards however, when both art and the people who produced it were put under the direct control of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, all creative output destined for public consumption was forced to conform to the narrow and politically dogmatic requirements of Socialist Realism. Art became a political tool, and the people who made it became heroes. The incredible Minsk Art Factory is an extraordinary legacy of this period. Founded in 1947 on the site of a former windmill, it was from this mid-boggling ensemble of buildings that every major artistic project carried out in Minsk, including almost all the remaining Soviet-era works of public art that can be seen in the city today, was produced. An incredible collection of studios and workshops churning out everything from stained glass to metal statues to huge monuments carved from stone, the 'factory' grew over the years to include every conceivable creative activity, housing, as a memorial plaque on the outside of one of the buildings testifies, many of the country's leading artistic names. Independence and the collapse of the Soviet Union two decades ago saw an end to its state-financed activities, although far from closing down the Minsk Art Factory has spectacularly reinvented itself. A number of its original inhabitants alongside some newer additions can still be found working here, applying their amazing range of skills to less political ends and creating some wonderful works of art along the way. Intrigued by what was going on inside, we dropped by recently as part of a larger adventure visiting a wide range of artists working in Minsk today and visited three different workshops.
Igor Barkhatkov
Born in 1958, Igor Barkhatkov is the Minsk-born son of the well known painter Anton Barkhatkov and the singer Sofia Barkhatkova. The artist trained in the best Soviet traditions in painting and graphics, his landscapes capture the light so well that they're almost frightening in their beauty. The most interesting thing about Igor however is his hobby. Lurking in an attic room in the centre of Minsk that was once his father's studio, Igor has amassed somewhere in the region of 1,000 Soviet-era paintings, lithographs and other 2D works dating from the 1920s that, should you get a chance to see them, rank as one of the most extraordinary experiences possible in Minsk. Among them are the works of many of the leading Belarusian artists of their day including A. Barkhatkov, V. Kubarev, M. Sevruk, V. Tsvirko, B. Basov, R. Gembitsky, M. Stanyuta, E. Krasovsky to name but a few. Discerning collectors, prick up your ears! Much of this work is for sale! For further information, call us on tel. (+375 29) 678 27 79.
Kounya
Translating more or less as 'smithy', Kounya is the collective name for a small community of artists who've been working together since before independence. As individuals they make a range of things including every thing from small sculptures to lovingly crafted reproductions of daggers and swords from the 16th century to complete suits of armour. Together they've collaborated on several high level projects including work for the Belarusian Ministry of Culture that now graces Mir Castle, although they don't just specialise in historical reproductions. Their work is both perfect in its craftsmanship whilst also being capable of whimsy.
Anna Balash
The strange and beautiful world of Anna Balash, a graduate of the Belarusian State Arts and Theatre Institute and daughter of a famous film critic, revolves around a range of bizarre, doll-like puppet figures. Anna's background is in costume design, a skill she's managed to successfully miniaturise and export around the world. Each doll takes several months to make and is fashioned from a porcelain head and material gathered from around the world. The dolls have their own personalities (and names), hide all manner of tricks and qualities about their person, and are available for commission.
Yuri Shif
Working out of an innocent-looking squat building not far from the centre of Minsk, Yuri Shif is a world champion designer of custom motorbikes. Producing the strangest-looking ways of getting from a to b, Yuri makes bikes for the rich and famous, particularly but not exclusively for the Russians, and, if you've got the money to spare, for you too. For more information about visiting him and finding out more, go to www.yurishifcustom.com
Viktor Kopach
The entrance to the sculptor Viktor Kopach's studio is marked by a small plaque proclaiming the extra ordinary heritage of the place. At the top of the list is the late Zair Azgur, whose magnificent museum can be found elsewhere in this guide on p. 40. Kopach's high-ceilinged workshop is accessed via one of the wobbliest staircases in Europe but is worth the potential broken back. Born in 1970 in the region of Grodno, Kopach graduated from the Belarusian Academy of Arts in 1996 and has been active at home and abroad for the last 15 years. Well known for a recurring Tower of Babelesque theme in much of his work, he shows signs of a seriously classical training whilst managing to break a few rules along the way. When we dropped by, Viktor was hard at work on a monument for the grave of a Belarusian lady footwear tycoon.
The Shappos
Tucked away in a corner of the Minsk Art Factory is an L-shaped workshop and studio belonging to the Shappo dynasty. We dropped by to see Alexander, the son of the colour ful Belarusian ar tist Vladimir, who was born in 1971 and who churns out a delightful array of modern sculptures and li thographs, some of them sombre and thoughtful, others pleasantly ridiculous. A former child prodigy and a genuinely gregarious character, Alexander's work, as well as the work of his illustrious family, is definitely worth further investigation.
Visitors to Minsk who'd like to know more about the artists listed on these pages and who'd like to meet them and perhaps buy or commission their work should contact Minsk In Your Pocket directly. For further information, call us on tel. (+375 29) 678 27 79.

Bermuda reached it's peak when insurance was still in it's infancy. A time when Bermuda was filled with startups flush with cash.

Bermuda can and should be taking a closer look at what's happening in the investment industry and recognize how incredibly well placed we are to benefit. We cut our teeth by embracing on the high risk high reward prospects of reinsuring the insurance industry and could do the same with finance.
The Volcker rule has created a new battlefield over Wall Street pay that banks fear will send their star traders and hedge fund advisers fleeing.
As an IB exec recently pointed out, Bermuda is tremendously well placed to capitalize on the coming flood of investment startups due to appear as a result of the Volcker Rule. To those unfamiliar with the rule, it prohibits banks from substantially owning or investing in hedge and private equity funds. This means many top stars of the investment world will have little choice to branch out and start up their own. Bermuda is incredibly well placed to provide a better alternative for those funds and their associated businesses to be located.

Where else can you enjoy a near non-existent commute and actually have the freedom to actually do something with your evening?
Embracing and supporting risk has been our core strength, one we could leverage again. Bermuda could be an excellent place to house cash flush new startups, eager to bring in top talent, spend money locally and revive our economy back to what it once was. We should be doing everything we can to convince star traders that Bermuda is the ideal home for their business… and their money.
A Greek lesson for Bermuda?
Are there lessons to be learned in the Greek crisis for Bermuda, should we continue our trend towards financial insolvency? Greek Prime Minister Papandreou's call for a referendum on the country's bailout package could be a brilliant political move, if he's allowed to make it.
The rest of the world may be appalled at the prospect of putting the decision to the people but let's remember, the last bailout and debt forgiveness didn't exactly work all that well, did it? Why then is more of the same medicine likely to fair much better? Will it ultimately be rejected by the Greek people and lead to even more rioting in the streets and mass unproductivity?
Are there alternatives? One potential solution then is to involve the people in the decision in order to quell discontent. By letting the people own the decision, it becomes far harder for them to rally and protest against it for it wasn't rammed down their throats but was made of their own accord. The trick for Papandreou to achieve success is to carefully phrase the question for the people to answer.

This is going to be the best ever FRONT ROW Fashion Show, and since we decided to make this year's theme GLAMOUR, it will be visually most stunning and very, very, very exciting.
FRONT ROW Glamour will be featuring a new breed of young inspired designers to transform everyday garments into fantastical and outrageous creations for the fashion show with emphasis on recycling, re-working and re-using fabrics as well as vintage.
This is it for now but keep on checking in for constant fabulous updates!


In this video I'm visiting The Fremont Street Experience. It is a pedestrian mall and attraction in downtown Las Vegas and it occupies the westernmost five blocks of Fremont Street, including the area known for years as "Glitter Gulch," and portions of some other adjacent streets.
The LED display "canopy," runs along the Fremont Street Experience promenade from Main Street to Fourth Street. Holding the canopy aloft are 16 columns, each weighing 26,000 pounds and can hold up 400,000 pounds, and 43,000 struts.
A section comprising one fiftieth of the total canopy equals the size of the world's current largest electric sign. Originally, nearly 2.1 million incandescent lights were housed in the canopy. With the completion of the million upgrade, more than 12 million LED lamps illuminate the overhead canopy.
The light shows run every hour and last about six minutes each.
If you like 'oldskool' Las Vegas this is the place for you to go!

Steel Train gets playful in Atlanta
Alexandra Edwards October 23, 2008 No comments
It's hard to be a mid-level band playing the smallest club in a three-venue complex. When Steel Train visited Atlanta two months ago in support of The Hush Sound, the sizable crowd at The Loft got rowdy and excited for the New Jersey indie rockers. But Wednesday night at Vinyl, the band braved a fluctuating, but never very large, audience, an annoyingly talkative pocket of people by the bar, and soundproofing that just couldn't keep out the epic double kick drum sound of Opeth playing next door at Center Stage.
You might expect me to tell you that the boys of Steel Train handled the distractions like consummate professionals. Instead they did better; they handled it like they were playing in their living room for a few of their close friends. They took off their shoes and slammed around the stage in their socked feet. They joked with us about the heavy metal shaking the walls. By the encore, frontman Jack Antonoff was sharing embarrassing tour stories, and making silly puns about the train "derailing" when the band started laughing during "Road Song." But all the while, the music was tight and the beat was steady. They never let their antics get in the way of playing their songs exactly as they should: passionately, energetically, and with a swagger tempered by sweet smiles.
Hopefully, as Steel Train continues their career, nights like this will turn into coveted live show stories for the band's dedicated fanbase — you know, the ones that begin, "I saw them play this tiny club in Atlanta back in 2008…"

BREAKING: Former US First Lady Barbara Bush has died
The sad news has been confirmed. - by Abi Moustafa
Former first lady Barbara Bush, the second woman in American history to be a wife and mother of a U.S. President, has passed away at age 92.
An official statement confirming the news was made by her husband George W Bush Senior's office.
A funeral schedule for the late First Lady has not yet been announced.
Bush's health had been deteriorating after multiple hospitalised in 2017 – suffering from congestive heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
During her life, she worked on multiple projects but her most treasured achievement was founding the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy with a goal of improving the lives of disadvantaged Americans by encouraging literacy among parents and their children.
