The Comic Strip Presents... (1982 - 2012)
Started by a troupe of now well-established comedy actors (most notably Adrian Edmondson, Dawn French, Rik Mayall, and Jennifer Saunders), "The Comic Strip" offered audiences an alternative to the 'safe' humour of its day.
The show left no taboo unturned--with shocking and often offensive portrayals of violence, sex, bestiality, and explicit drug use (not to mention all the swearing and puerile fart-gags). But despite the controversy--or perhaps because of it--"The Comic Strip" drew a cult following for its anti-establishment views, which resonated well with younger generations
A series of self contained TV films starring performers from London's "Comic Strip" comedy club and their friends. Noted for a high sense of parody of previous films, literature, and generally everyone in sight.
41 episodes plus new 12 or 28min clip shows available
Starring: Peter Richardson / Adrian Edmondson / Jennifer Saunders / Nigel Planer / Dawn French / Robbie Coltrane / Rik Mayall / Keith Allen / Kevin Allen / Phil Cornwell / Alexei Sayle / Doon Mackichan / Miranda Richardson / Kathy Burke / Stephen Mangan / Tim McInnerny / Leslie Phillips / Lenny Henry / Anthony Head / Lionel Jeffries / Lemmy / Kate Bush / Ruby Wax / Peter Capaldi / Josie Lawrence / Peter Cook / Jim Broadbent / Miriam Margoyles / Jim Carter.

Place bead on hook and wrap thread to hook bend. Tie in 3" of antron yarn, leaving the length of fibers about one-half of hook length as the tail. Tie in wire rib and wrap thread forward, a few eye lengths behind the eye. Wrap (palmer)the antron yarn around the hook, 2/3 of the length, building up a tapered body. Tie in and leave tag end on bottom of hook. Wrap rib in the opposite direction that you wrapped the antron body, cut. Cut 1/8" wide strip of flashback, and tie in as a wingcase. Wrap the existing tag end of yarn forward to behind the beadhead, building a thorax. Tie off and trim. Tie in a small piece of yarn on each side of the hook shank behind the bead head, forming the legs, about 2/3 of a hook length. Tie off and trim. Fold the wingcase forward, tie off and trim. Whip finish behind the beadhead and epoxy the threads and wingcase.

13, including 7 children killed in Myanmar air attack
by NE NOW NEWS September 20, 2022 11:14 am September 20, 2022 11:15 am
Bangkok: At least 13 people including seven children, a school administrator and an aid worker were killed when a government helicopter attacked a school and village in north-central Myanmar, reports said on Monday.
Civilian casualties often occur in attacks by the military government on pro-democracy insurgents and their allies.
However, the number of children killed in the air attack last Friday in Tabayin township in Sagaing region appeared to be the highest since the army seized power in February last year, ousting the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
The army's takeover triggered mass nonviolent protests nationwide. The military and police responded with deadly force, resulting in the spread of armed resistance in the cities and countryside.
Fighting has been especially fierce in Sagaing, where the military has launched several offensives, in some cases burning villages, which displaced more than half a million people, according to a report issued by UNICEF this month.
Friday's attack occurred in Let Yet Kone village in Tabayin, also known as Depayin, about 110 km (70 miles) northwest of Mandalay, the country's second largest city.
School administrator Mar Mar said she was trying to get students to safe hiding places in ground floor classrooms when two of four Mi-35 helicopters hovering north of the village began attacking, firing machine guns and heavier weapons at the school, which is located in the compound of the village's Buddhist monastery.
Mar Mar works at the school with 20 volunteers who teach 240 students from kindergarten to Grade 8.
She has been hiding in the village with her three children since fleeing for safety to avoid the government crackdown after participating last year in a civil disobedience movement against the military takeover.
She uses the pseudonym Mar Mar to protect herself and relatives from the military. She said she had not expected trouble since the aircraft had been over the village before without any incident.
"Since the students had done nothing wrong, I never thought that they would be brutally shot by machine guns," Mar Mar told a news agency.
By the time she and the students and teachers were able to take shelter in the classrooms, one teacher and a 7-year-old student had already been shot in the neck and head and Mar Mar had to use pieces of clothing to try to stanch the bleeding.
"They kept shooting into the compound from the air for an hour," Mar Mar said.
"They didn't stop even for one minute. All we could do at that time was chant Buddhist mantras."
When the air attack stopped, about 80 soldiers entered the monastery compound, firing their guns at the building.
The soldiers then ordered everyone in the compound to come out of the buildings. Mar Mar said she saw about 30 students with wounds on their backs, thighs, faces and other parts of their bodies. Some students had lost limbs.
She said at least six students were killed in the school and a 13-year-old boy working at a fishery in a nearby village was also fatally shot. At least six adults were also killed in the air attack in other parts of the village, she said.
The bodies of the dead children were taken away by the soldiers. More than 20 people, including nine wounded children and three teachers, were also taken by the soldiers, she said.
Two of those captured were accused of being members of the anti-government People's Defence Force, the armed wing of the resistance to the military. Security forces also burned down a house in the village, causing residents to flee.

20th century best of budapest history
Best of Budapest: 6 Places Where History Comes to Life
Fanni Kaszás 2018.05.17.
After examining the hidden gems of the Hungarian capital and the best places to eat, followed by a bit of an adventure, our next exploration of the "Best of Budapest" takes a look at some of the most interesting historical buildings, sights and museums of 19th and 20th century Budapest.
Located outside downtown Budapest, Memento Park displays 42 statues and plaques and from the Hungarian Communist era, between 1945 and 1989, including allegorical monuments of "Hungarian-Soviet Friendship" and "Liberation", as well as statues of famous personalities from the labor movement, soldiers of the Red Army and other gigantic pieces depicting Lenin, Marx, Engels, Dimitrov, Captain Ostapenko, Béla Kun and other "heroes" of the communist world. These statues were removed from the streets of Budapest, so the park sort of act as a graveyard for this period of Hungarian history.

Stolpersteins ('Stumbling stones'/Botlatókövek)
The stolpersteins or 'stumbling stones', located in several places in Budapest, are cobblestone-sized concrete cubes with gold or bronze plates, commemorating the victims of the Holocaust. The stolperstein art project was launched by the German artist Gunter Demnig in 1992 and there are over 2950 of them in Berlin. The name of the stolpersteins is metaphorical: before the Holocaust, there was a popular saying in Germany that when someone stumbled on a stone "There must be a Jew buried here." The first Hungarian stumbling stone was placed in Hungary in 2007 in front of 5 Ráday utca in District IX, in memory of Béla Rónai, who died in labor service in 1945.

House of Terror Museum (Terror Háza)
The House of Terror Museum opened in 2002 to commemorate those who were held captive, interrogated, tortured and killed in the building of 60 Andrássy Street, Budapest, the very same building that today houses the museum. During the Second World War reign of the the fascist Arrow Cross regime as well as during the Communist era, the building served as the headquarters of the secret police. The museum, the only one of its kind, contains exhibits related to both the fascist and communist regimes of Hungary and presents the horrors of the building in a tangible way, while commemorating the victims of the 20th century.

Fiume Road National Graveyard/Kerepesi Cemetery
The Kerepesi cemetery is the most famous and one of the oldest graveyards in Hungary, sometimes referred as the 'Hungarian Père-Lachaise', as the graves of many prominent Hungarians can be found here, including artists such as Ady, Jókai, Arany and Imre Kertész; in addition, it is home to the mausoleums of Lajos Batthyány, Ferenc Deák and Lajos Kossuth,and many more important and famous political figures since 1849. The cemetery opened as a public cemetery, but over the centuries it has become an evolving showcase of the passage of Hungarian history and a valuable cultural monument, as many of the tombs are the work of famous architects. During the weekends, the graveyard offers thematic walks in the cemetery, for example a 'Artist plots', 'Memento '56' and a 'Heroes of the 1848-49 Revolution and Independence War' one.

Hospital in the Rock and Nuclear Bunker Museum
Only a few tourist knows that there is a hidden World War II hospital and nuclear bunker under the Buda Castle. The hospital was established during the 1930s in preparation for the war, and aimed to function as a safe emergency hospital and bomb shelter. The surgical center and bunker was completed in 1944, just in time to provide emergency care for injured civilians and soldiers. During the 50-day-long siege of Budapest at the end of the war, when Soviet forces encircled the city, the hospital handled the wounded. After the war, the hospital in the rock was only used once, during the 1956 Revolution against the Soviet rule. In the soviet era, the hospital equipment was upgraded to take account of the risk of a chemical or nuclear attack. Nowadays, the hospital only functions as a museum, complete with waxwork recreations of hospital treatments and scenarios during the siege of the capital. They also offer games for the visitors: they can try the civil defence protocol that is used in case of a nuclear disaster and play a spy game in the cave system.

Parliament Visitor Center Museums – In memoriam '56 and Lapidarium
The Visitor Centre was established to present the treasures of the House of Parliament in a fitting environment. The Visitor Center of the Hungarian National Legislative Assembly currently has two permanent exhibits, the Lapidarium and In memoriam 1956, a memorial and exhibition in the tunnels under Kossuth square, in front of the Parliament. The Lapidarium, a stone collection, displays copies of stones and facades that were used to make the Parliament as well as damaged originals and copies of those which are still part of the building. The other exhibition examines the events of 25 October 1956, the 'Bloody Thursday', when soldiers opened fire on the peaceful crowd gathered on Kossuth square, killing hundreds of people. In the exhibition and memorial space, visitors can look around following red lines on the floor, symbolizing the blood of the victims. The exhibition showcases a number of archive videos and photos, as well as relics of the Soviet era, including the red star that decorated the top of the Parliament for decades.

Thelotornis kirtlandiiForest Vine Snake, Bird Snake, Twig Snake
By Chad H. Mummert
Southern Tanzania to Mozambique and Zimbabwe, south to Transvaal to northern Botswana into South West Africa and into Angola.
The bird snake lives all of its life in trees.
scrub forest
This oviparous species lays six to ten eggs in mid-summer. The eggs are four centimeters long by two centimeters wide. The young hatch months later at a length of 25 cm.
This shy species will retreat at almost any threat, but it is extremely vicious when cornered. The throat is inflated to create fear and surprise in enemies. It has a very elaborate swaying movement associated with prey immobilization.
The arboreal Bird Snake eats any small animal found in the trees, preferring lizards but also taking mice or frogs when possible. Despite its name, it seldom feeds on birds.
It probably helps to control the population of arboreal rodents and lizards, playing a key role in the food web.
The Bird Snake is extremely poisonous; its deadly venom causes some human deaths in its range.
These snakes are characterized by fangs located near the rear of the mouth. Unlike that of most of its relatives, however, the venom of the Bird Snake is quite potent, causing massive internal bleeding and lesions under the skin. A special serum was developed to combat its. Like all other members of its family, however, after biting it clings to its prey until the venom has taken affect. This species has particularly good vision, perhaps even binocular. Its colorization helps disguise it as a twig.
Although the bird snake is docile by nature and rarely bites, it should be avoided as much as possible. It has quite possibly the most potent venom of any snake in Africa, and the snake is greatly feared for that reason.

To electrify, you should be able to use the same washtub bass pickup system as featured in my book, Making Poor Man's Guitars.

Q: Twig - indicate incorrect use of macro from inside the macro Is there a good way to indicate incorrect use of Twig macro from inside a macro?
For example:
{% macro _name_to_size(input) %}{% spaceless %}

    {% set size %}
        {% if input == 'small' %}20{% endif %}
        {% if input == 'medium' %}40{% endif %}
        {% if input == 'large' %}60{% endif %}
    {% endset %}

    {% if not size|trim|length %}
        {# tell user that something is wrong #}
    {% endif %}

    {{ size }}

{% endspaceless %}{% endmacro %}

Edit:
Thank you for your answers. I have ended up with something like this (there is a chance you will not miss something like this in the browser):
{% macro error(message) %}
    {% set notification %}

{{ message }}

    {% endset %}
    {{ notification }}

{% endmacro %}

A: You can print an error message, but that's the best you can do from template.
If you want a better alternative, write a twig extension which creates a function that does what you want your macro to do. You can throw exceptions there.

You may have known each other for years; you may have even lived together. But once you vow 'til death do you part, you enter uncharted territory. The newlywed years abound with passion and romance, yes — and some dashed expectations, disagreement and compromise, too.
This bride and groom couldn't have more different personalities. Chris Carlin, 31, is high-maintenance; his wife, 28-year-old Jen, easygoing. "Neatnik" describes Chris, while cleanliness never tops Jen's list of priorities. Chris plans; Jen goes with the flow. Despite this variety of differences, "our personalities balance each other out," Jen affirms.
When it comes to their values and life goals, Chris and Jen say they've always been on the same page, 100 percent. "We both want a family. We're very white-picket-fence kind of people," Chris explains.
The couple met about two and a half years ago at a kickball game: Chris was playing and Jen watching with her puggle (beagle-pug mix) puppy, Oliver. After the game, Chris walked over to watch Oliver and another friend's puggle playing together. The puggles prompted the couple's first conversation and eventual romance. "We just seemed to click like we'd known each other forever," Jen says.
So far, marriage has taught these newlyweds to communicate about their problems. Jen tends to be more reticent than Chris, who admits he can be defensive. Now, she's speaking up sooner, and he's listening more.
Granted, they're still practically on their honeymoon, but what do they do to keep the honeymoon feeling alive? "We're big food people," Chris says. Either Jen cooks for Chris, or they walk to a restaurant near their home in the Fan.
A romantic dinner in, or out — something to keep in mind when you return from the honeymoon.
When you have a master's in quantitative finance as Arun Aravind, 29, does, it's inevitable that you'll have a few ideas about financial management in your personal life.
"I'm very conservative about how I spend my money," Arun says. In the first year of his marriage to 25-year-old Deepa, Arun endeavored to instill his pecuniary perspective in his bride, who tended to buy before considering cost. "Maybe now I look at the price tags more carefully than he does," Deepa says with a laugh.
Meeting through an online matrimonial service (Arun was in Richmond, Deepa in India), the couple spent very little time face to face before saying "I do." Arun even proposed via the Internet. At this point, however, he and his wife are used to grappling with everyday matters like budgeting.
Arun and Deepa are still working on dividing the household chores. "He's the one who actually showed me the basics of cooking," says Deepa, who didn't have much culinary experience before her marriage. "But now I don't even let him come in the kitchen." While they both pitch in to clean, they agree that Arun has room for improvement, both in quality and quantity.
The two understand that minor differences like these contribute to a marriage. "We don't give that a lot of importance," notes Deepa. Her husband agrees: "We need to always be ready to make small adjustments. We have a lot of time for adjustment."
A pair of wooden wedding ducks helps strengthen Rick and Sara Snyder's marriage during trying times. Friends brought the souvenirs from Korea, where tradition dictates that the position of the ducks symbolizes marital satisfaction. Beak to beak means harmony; tail to tail signals a standoff. The Snyders, both 26, keep their ducks atop the mantel in their home, and when there's tension between them, they use the ducks' positioning to defuse it.
"When we're having a disagreement, one of us goes and turns the ducks around [tail to tail]," Rick explains, "and the other person starts laughing." Rick, whose sense of humor was one of the first things that attracted Sara to him, recommends a little levity when one partner has ruffled tail feathers.
For those conflicts that a little duck maneuvering won't fix, Rick and Sara advise putting yourself in your mate's shoes. And be aware of the other's communication style, they add. (Sara tends to clam up when she's tense.) Understanding each other's personality facilitates compromise.
The Snyders, who met in college and were friends for months before dating, find that sharing activities, particularly new experiences, brings them closer together. Best of all, the experiences don't need to be extraordinary. Simply cook a new recipe for dinner, Rick and Sara suggest, or visit a new park.
Ultimately, the key to the Snyders' marital success, a principle they recommend to any couple, is not taking the other person for granted. "Each and every day we show and tell each other we appreciate each other and love each other," Sara says.


Wagons, Wagons, everywhere in Goreme, Turkey. They display pottery, they are gaily painted, they loiter on footpaths. What does it all mean? Did they migrate from the Wild West of America?
This one was beside the main road that led from Goreme to Avanos in the Cappadocia region of Turkey.
It looked suspiciously like our green waste pile at home that lies out of sight in the back yard, until it turns into a pile of brown waste, at which time B.H. loads it into our trailer (wagon), hitches to the back of the 4WD and hauls it to the dump.
I suspect this wagon harbors a load of (abandoned?) firewood.

The Arrival of the Indiana Pacers
Article Views:
Photo by Lemmy Morrie
As of the now, the Indiana Pacers are officially considered to be the one of the teams to beat in the east. Personally, I rank them second only to the Miami Heat. The team pushed the Heat to seven games in the recent playoffs and this summer, they've made some pretty amazing improvements. Still, if you're thinking that the Pacers are still arriving, you're wrong. They already did that last season. Next year, the team will be in full blast, giving them their best chance to win the championship.
Here's a quick look back at the season when the Pacers stake their claim as legitimate contenders of the eastern conference.
Overshadowed Goodness
The improvement of the Pacers during the regular season has been mostly overshadowed by the out-of-this-world performance by the Heat and the reemergence of the New York Knicks that is worthy of discussion. Aside from the aforementioned, another reason why only few seem to be paying attention to the Pacers is their style of play.
Their defense is so good that they are able to really slow down the pace of a game. As much as I appreciate this impressive ability of the team, I can't help but think about the casual fans whose reason for watching a basketball game is the entertainment brought on by speedy and athletic players running the floor.
Individual and Team Growth
The Pacer's remarkable improvement includes both ends of the court. On the defensive end, you can see how they are able to dictate how the opposing teams attack by putting pressure and funneling players to locations where they are least comfortable or easily defended. The tenacity with going for rebounds and lose ball comes in second.
The Pacers have also made a great leap on the offensive end compared to the previous season. In a half-court set, they are able to consistently run a crisp offense that allows the ball to get to the player they intend to have it. Also, every player seems to be playing on their strengths.
These improvements are a result of the individual and team growth. Individually, players are better than they were the previous year which can be attributed to experience. A perfect example of this is Paul George and the all-star season.
With every player improving his skill set and having played more together, it's natural for the team to have more confidence in setting up the offense and defense. With less hesitation, they are able to run plays quite cleanly and less prone to turnover. They also know better when to give help in the defensive end and always avoid overplaying.

This painting is from Trudie Dyer's series of work entitled Chaosmos. This name encapsulates the idea of balancing chaos with control, which is how these paintings are created. The paint is randomly built up in many layers, until shapes and patterns begin to emerge. Then the real work begins: choosing what to keep, and what to edit out. The artist sees this as the perfect metaphor for life; we are constantly choosing how much of our internal chaos to reveal, and how much of it to hide away.

3 New Choral Works from Henry Dehlinger
On October 27, 2019, Henry's Three Choral Songs on James Joyce premieres at the Washington Master Chorale's 10th Anniversary Season opening concert with Maestro Thomas Colohan conducting.
Night Piece
Written for a cappella SATB chorus, Night Piece begins as a reverent, if not haunting, portrait of "night's sin-dark nave." Replete with ecclesiastical imagery, this subdued choral meditation swells into a tender exultation of the night sky with soaring melodies and lush harmonies. Joyce's characteristic neologisms abound: A star-knell tolls as upsoaring clouds surge voidward, high above the "adoring waste of souls."
Featuring a soprano solo, Strings in the Earth and Air is a light interlude with sparkling piano accompaniment and impressionist overtones. The song's sultry vocal line emerges from a progression of minor and dominant 9th chords in this jazz-inspired hymn of nature.
Written for SATB chorus with piano accompaniment, Bahnhofstrasse is an existential piece about the loss of youth. The title refers to the Zurich train station where in August 1917 Joyce suffered a sudden and painful attack of lumbago, later compounded with increasing blindness as a result of glaucoma. The four-part vocal lines float wistfully over a minimalist piano accompaniment that steadily reiterates a simple, eerie motif as the poet's failing eyes mock his deteriorating youthfulness.
The Washington Master Chorale's 10th Anniversary Season opening concert takes place on October 27, 2020 at the Church of the Epiphany, 1317 G St NW, in Washington, DC. Entitled The Promise of Living, the evening's program will showcase a cappella American art songs, folk hymns and spirituals. Artistic director Thomas Colohan conducts.
About the Washington Master Chorale
The Washington Master Chorale is a vibrant, sixty-voice professional and volunteer chorus with a reputation for vocal excellence and discriminating concert programing. Since its debut concert in 2010 under the baton of Artistic Director Thomas Colohan, the Chorale's performances have received repeated critical acclaim. The Washington Post hails the ensemble's singing as "remarkable for its beauty," "seamlessly blended," and "a sound worth hearing." The Chorale is dedicated to the expansion of the choral canon and maintains that commitment through its annual commissioning of new choral works by leading American composers.

The central question addressed in this study is what limits and what possibilities exist within international law for cross-border cyber-investigations by law enforcement authorities. The focus is on cloud storage services, but the analysis applies more generally to internet investigations, in particular in the form of remote searches and the contacting of foreign service providers to request data. In particular, the report focuses on questions of legality of cross-border access to data under international law in terms of the core principles of territorial integrity and non-interference in domestic affairs rather than on questions of human rights.

Wilbur Scoville: The hottest man in nutrition gets his own Doodle
by Gordon Hunt
22 Jan 20161.12k Views
Wilbur Scoville, creator of the Scoville scale to measure the strength of peppers, via Wikimedia Commons
Google's drive to celebrate an ever-increasing number of notable figures in history continues with a bang today (22 January) with pepper supremo Wilbur Scoville's 151st birthday celebrated with its own Doodle.
Bells, jalapenos, cayennes, ghosts, scorpions: all the same, all entirely different. If, like me, you are a complete wuss when it comes to hot, spicy food, then relying on the information in pepper packaging is imperative.
But how did humanity learn how to measure the difference between a standard pepper and a blow-your-head-off Trinidad scorpion pepper?
Well a man called Wilbur Scoville – who would be 151 today if the secret to everlasting life lay in eating peppers – found a way. Thus the name Scoville scale.
If you're wondering why peppers are called capsicums in countries including the US and Australia, the key to 'heat' in a pepper is an active component of the foodstuffs, called capsaicin. It is by measuring this that you establish mild, hot and very hot peppers.
The Scoville scale, which measures the concentration of capsaicin, starts with bell peppers at the zero Scoville heat units (SHU), up to the 16 million that represents pure capsaicin.
Born in Bridgeport Connecticut in 1865, Scoville was a chemist, award-winning researcher, professor of pharmacology and the second vice-chairman of the American Pharmaceutical Association.
Using human testers to find out the various pepper heats, his book The Art of Compounding goes as far as suggesting milk as an antidote for head explosions after eating particularly powerful variants.
Doodler Olivia Huynh is behind the latest interactive Doodle, with a game seeing the user fire ice cream at evil peppers out to destroy poor Scoville.
"Spiciness is somewhat of a universal, comical experience, which I think opened the door for us to do something we usually might not be able to, like a fighting game," said Huynh.
The boss at the end of the last ice cream battle is the Trinidad Scorpion Butch T pepper (1.4m SHU), which was ranked as the hottest pepper in the world back in 2011.
The Carolina Reaper (1.5m SHU) took the mantle two years later and, as new peppers are constantly being found and grown, the next champ could be just around the corner.

Jimmy's Kids finds a way to still deliver Christmas gifts in Southwest Detroit during COVID
This simple act of kindness happened Christmas morning last year, and it was beautiful.
A woman and her 15-year-old nephew were delivering Christmas presents in Southwest Detroit as part of Jimmy's Kids annual program to help those in need in the area. They stopped at the home of a man, who was a double amputee with diabetes. He had four sons and a daughter.
At 79, and at high-risk for COVID, Jim Tuman won't be at Jimmy's Kids Christmas morning program in Southwest Detroit this year, but he made sure the gifts were still delivered to those in need.
When they stepped inside, they were greeted by a small Christmas tree in the living room with no presents under it and a man sitting in a wheelchair.
They chatted with the family for a while then left. They hadn't gone far when the young man asked his aunt to turn around, he'd forgotten something.
The young man went back in the house and gave the man the new leather jacket he had just received for Christmas.
Acts of kindness like that are what the holidays are about, says Jim Tuman, who founded Jimmy's Kids 32 years ago.
For many of those years he spent Christmas morning working with as many 1,500 volunteers from the Muslim and Jewish communities, Christian churches and others, delivering gifts to those in need in Southwest Detroit.
"One of the best things to come from Jimmy's Kids is the three faiths working together," Tuman says.
This year there will be fewer volunteers. Tuman expects about 300 as those who traditionally would be there are staying home because of the COVID pandemic. Still, some of the stalwarts from Chicago and Boston have told him they are coming.
This year Tuman won't be there either.
Last year volunteers joined together to get the gifts. This year the gifts will be put in their cars and they put them on the porch or steps of the homes receiving them. They won't be going in to visit and all will wear masks and socially distance,.
At 79, he is high-risk for the disease and is taking every precaution. He wants those volunteering to do the same and has been working with doctors and others to make certain the right rules are in place so the gifts can be safely delivered.
"I was not going to sit around and watch this unfold," he says. "We moved to create a sense that all is not lost. We can do this safely."
The gifts will be safely put in the volunteer's cars. Those volunteers will drive to the homes of those receiving the gifts and put them on the porch or steps. This year there will be no visiting in the homes and everyone will wear masks, socially distance, and not congregate.
"We need to pay it forward," he says. "We didn't forget these people. "There is a need, and we had to step up and make it work."
Unfortunately, this year no toys will be delivered because of safety concerns and because shippers cannot bring them to Jimmy's Kids, Turman says. Instead, the volunteers will deliver food, hats, gloves, and blankets to those in need.
There are many in Southwest Detroit.
According to Tuman, the median income for a family of four there was previously $12,000, but that has dropped to $7,300 during the COVID pandemic.
To help deal with that crisis, Jimmy's Kids is working with Marathon Oil on a year-long project to provide clothing, food and relocation help to residents of the 48217 area code, which is home to families with some of the biggest needs. That zip code has been cited as one of the most polluted areas in Michigan because of its close proximity to industrial sites.
The oil company just announced plans to spend $5 million buy up homes and clear them out and create a green buffer between its refinery and residential areas. They buyout is voluntary and homeowners and renters on Edsel and Patricia will be eligible to participate, according to a story in the Detroit News. Residents must sign up for the initiative between Feb. 1 and June 1 and can opt out any time.
Marathon Oil also gave a significant donation to the Jimmy's Kids' Christmas event as did the 100 Men Club, which is dedicated to helping the communities and families of metro Detroit.
"We want people to feel loved," Tuman says. We should cherish every life. This is the way we should live. We must be others centered."
As he points out, "in 20 years those who struggled for power and prestige will be forgotten. Those who helped will be remembered. We never forget caring actions and acts of kindness."

WBA Visits SOS Children's Village in El Salvador
by	Juan Francisco Arias
"I agree with Sr. Mendoza and his positive message. 'You are the champion of you own life. You can live life to the fullest.'"
"I agree with Sr. Mendoza and his positive message: 'You are the champion of your own life. You can live life to the fullest.'"
At its inception, the purpose of the WBA KO Drugs campaign was to combat the scourge of illegal drug use by young people throughout the world. That mission continues to expand and includes promoting proper values in our young people as it relates to their education, their families, and their communities.
Earlier today Gilberto Jesus Mendoza, president of the WBA, and Salvadoran champion Carlos "El Famoso" Hernandez visited SOS Children's Village in El Salvador, one of five homes in the country that provides family support to 384 teenagers. They came to share with the young residents of this community a positive message as to how they can improve their lives.
"This is the first time I have come to your beautiful country," said Mendoza to the dozens of young boys and girls who came to meet him and the former champion, "and I am blessed to share with you some of the ways you can build your self-esteem. By avoiding drugs you can avoid falling into a trap from which it is very hard to escape. It may seem difficult at times, but it can be done. Others have succeeded. You can succeed as well."
For his part, "El Famoso" Hernandez shared his experience both in and out of the ring with the teenagers in attendance.
"We have to be strong and say no to drugs," he told them. "True strength lies in doing the right thing. There were many times when I was a young, and later when I was a champion, when I had to say no to drugs and no to temptation. But I was always thinking of my country. I was always thinking of the young people who looked up to me. It is an honor that the WBA has come to our country to fight for the health and well-being of our young people, including and maybe especially for those of you who are here today."
Claudia Sagastume, Director of Fundraising and Communications for SOS El Salvador, supports Sr. Mendoza's values and welcomed him to El Salvador and SOS Children's Village.
"We welcome this visit," she said. "The teenagers are here because of family problems. They are familiar with life's difficulties. I agree with Sr. Mendoza and his positive message. It is simple, but it is true. "You are the champion of your own life. If you say no to drugs, you can live life to the fullest."

Le type Pasteur désigne plusieurs séries de timbres-poste d'usage courant en petit format utilisées en France et, avec des surcharges spécifiques, dans certaines colonies françaises.

Les timbres représentent Louis Pasteur. Remplaçant partiellement les timbres au type Semeuse, ils sont émis à partir de 1923 et retirés de la vente à partir de 1924.

Historique
Sans doute en , il est décidé d'émettre un timbre pour le centième anniversaire de la naissance de Louis Pasteur, l'un des pères de la microbiologie. Toutefois, en raison d'un retard dans la confection du timbre, les premiers exemplaires ne sont émis que plusieurs mois après.

C'est, après Napoléon III, le premier personnage « réel » à être représenté sur un timbre-poste en France et ces timbres qui, à l'origine se veulent purement commémoratifs, deviennent, au fil des émissions, des timbres d'usage courant.

Description
Le timbre représente, en vue de profil gauche, Louis Pasteur. Il est dessiné et gravé par Georges-Henri Prud'homme, choisi par la famille de Pasteur Le format et la configuration générale du timbre (fond plein, cadre à double bordure, inscriptions) le rapprochent de la Semeuse camée.

Dentelés  et mesurant , les timbres sont imprimés en typographie à plat ou rotative, par feuilles de 100 ou de 300 selon les valeurs faciales.

En France métropolitaine
Hormis les timbres surchargés, douze valeurs sont émises, différant par la couleur du fond. La couleur de chaque timbre, vert, rouge ou bleu, correspond au moment de son émission, à un usage postal bien défini et conforme aux recommandations de l'Union postale universelle. Toutefois, au fil des modifications des tarifs, les timbres restent en service mais sont utilisés à d'autres fins, et leur couleur n'a plus de réelle signification.

Les timbres surtaxés « C A » (Caisse d'amortissement) ne sont pas émis sans la surcharge qu'ils portent. Il arrive, toutefois, que quelques timbres de ces couleurs bien particulières se retrouvent sur les marchés philatéliques sans la surcharge : il s'agit de faux.

Le timbre à  surchargé à  est spécialement émis pour affranchir en  le courrier transitant entre New York et Paris à bord du paquebot Île-de-France puis, à l'approche ou au départ des côtes américaines, par un hydravion catapulté ou accueilli sur le bateau. Sur l'ensemble des timbres émis, seuls 250 sont réellement utilisés ; les autres sont achetés par des philatélistes.

Certains timbres, surchargés « SPÉCIMEN », sont utilisés dans les cours d'instruction à destination du personnel des Postes.

Dans les colonies et outremer
Les timbres au type Pasteur sont également utilisés dans certains territoires sous administration française, moyennant une surcharge indiquant le territoire concerné (Algérie) et, le cas échéant, une nouvelle valeur faciale en monnaie locale (État des Alaouites, Grand Liban, Syrie).

I Hear a Symphony is the eighth studio album released by American girl group the Supremes on the Motown label in 1966.

Overview
Positioned as a successful attempt to further bridge the gap between traditional pop music, the traditional Motown sound and soul, the album included the title track, the Supremes' sixth number-one single, and the Top Ten single "My World Is Empty Without You". Also included are the group's covers of pop standards such as "With a Song in My Heart", "Without a Song", "Stranger in Paradise" and "Wonderful! Wonderful!". The original plan was to have the Supremes record an entire album of pop standards, to be entitled There's a Place for Us. The album was indeed recorded but shelved and left unreleased by Motown until 2004.  The cover for I Hear a Symphony was the cover shot intended originally for There's a Place For Us. When that album was eventually released in 2004, an alternate shot from that photo session was used.

Also included are originals such as "Everything Is Good About You" and "Any Girl In Love (Knows What I'm Going Through)", and covers of the then-current hits "Yesterday" (originally by the Beatles), "A Lover's Concerto" (sung by the Toys) and "Unchained Melody" (popularized by the Righteous Brothers). "Everything Is Good About You" was yet another B-side that got substantive airplay and became a fan favorite. It was one of several such B-sides that would be included on the group's 1967 Greatest Hits collection.

The I Hear a Symphony album peaked at number 8 and remained on the Billboard 200 album chart for 55 weeks, on the strength of the title track and the top 5 "My World Is Empty Without You." While originally issued in both mono and stereo versions, several of the tracks on the released stereo edition of I Hear a Symphony were sourced from mono mixes.

The Supremes promoted the album with a successful European tour. While in Sweden, the grouped filmed a television special that incorporated a number of the songs on I Hear a Symphony. The DVD of the special is available under the title Greatest Hits: Live in Amsterdam.

Expanded edition
On September 21, 2012, Universal Music Group released I Hear A Symphony: Expanded Edition, a two-disc limited edition re-release. Disc one contains the digitally remastered original mono and stereo editions of the album, with most of the stereo edition being sourced from an alternate 1966 master done in true stereo as opposed to the original stereo LP release of the album. Also on disc one are alternate vocals and extended mixes, and an additional song "All Of A Sudden (My Heart Sings)," recorded for (but not included on) the original album. Disc two features a complete unreleased live show recorded at the Upper Deck of Detroit's Roostertail night club on September 26, 1966.

I'm 44 and was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2011. I fractured my pelvis in four places without doing anything to cause such horrific damage. I was in a wheelchair and my second husband left me because I couldn't have inner course. I had to give up my home and vehicle to him because I have very manipulative, controlling and abusive parent's who coerced me into giving over everything. During that time I had become homeless and had to have an eight inch screw put through my pelvis in April, 2012. It has been lose which causes tremendous pain and uncomfortable. I also have my L5 S1 separated into two pieces and bone is rubbing bone and the surgeon's said that I'll never be a candidate for surgery. My two youngest son's had to go live with their father and I just started getting my disability in October, 2014. Out of the $742.00 a month social security disability income I've had to start paying $300.00 a month for child support and a $105.00 for Medicare. I bring home $337.00 a month. Last year I got my back pay and I was able to purchase a comfortable couch and recliner and new mattresses. I thought things were finally coming together when I found a two bedroom apartment for rent and the boy's could come stay with me. I have only had my youngest son Sammy over one night since July 24, 2010. That was the last time both of my son's stayed with me. We just got out of court because of my ex husband and my parents coercing them by telling them that they didn't have to follow the court order for visitation because it doesn't state that the law enforcement can intervene. Sammy is 16 and Christian is getting ready to turn 19. I found an apartment last July and paid for six months rent and deposit. I specifically asked about whether there has ever been mold there and both told me no. I had to have six people to help move me . I had almost gotten everything unpacked when the utility company came to turn on the gas in the basement. I never thought once about looking down stairs because I wouldn't be using it. He came back upstairs and told me that there was 2 to 3 inches of stagnant water and mold. I contacted my landlord right away and she said that they would get right on it and never did anything about it. That was July 9, 2015 and on August 4, 2015 I contacted everyone that I could possibly think of. I learned really quick that if you're not on subsidise housing you really don't have any rights. Slum lord's can get away with anything. I finally got a hold of the housing inspector and he said that he would right them a letter giving them 30 day's to have it completely fixed. He gave them untilSeptember 4, 2015 to respond. To this day they said they never received a letter. I talked to the housing inspector regarding my severe allergies and breathing issues and he told me that I should probably go ahead and move out because I was getting worse. I moved out on August 27, 2015. My things are in storage and the company that handles mold issues told me that my couch, recliner and two new set's of mattresses were not in condition to use any longer. I just bought them when I moved in. I have hired a Mid Missouri Legal aide attorney and I'm out almost $9000.00 and he said that I'd be lucky to get $2000.00. The landlord wants me to pay their attorney fees. I've been homeless and staying from couch to couch and I am about to lose everything in storage on March 7, 2016 if storage isn't paid. I'm probably not going to have a phone after Friday February 26, 2016. I'm an adult survivor of childhood physical abuse, mental, verbal and molestation. I suffer from PTSD, bipolar and fybromyalgia for several year's now. I am going to see the physiologist, therapist and a case worker every two weeks and I was able to walk by a mirror and look back for a double take to tell myself how worthy I am and that I can take care of myself. I love me! That's why I am asking for your kindness and understanding to help if you possibly can. Prayers work also. Please pray that I can find a home soon because my two youngest son's father has stage four cancer and it doesn't look like he's going to pull through. I just want a home to comfort my children and a place we can lay our heads and rest. I just need some peace of mind and also have some transportation.
Jackie is still setting up this fundraiser so please check back so you can support Preparing for stronger bones.


West Ham have reportedly seen a €35m bid for Genoa striker Krzysztof Piatek rejected by the Italian club but the striker himself is keen to stay in Serie A where he has settled in well.
Following a €4m move last summer, Piatek has rammed in 20 goals in 23 games this season for club and country, including six in two Coppa Italia games, to put himself on the map as a marksman in Europe.
Piatek was also the first player since Gabriel Batistuta in the 1994/95 Serie A season to score in each of his first seven appearances in the division.
The Hammers have been linked with a move for the 23-year-old in the last 24 hours but seemingly it might be dead before it even gets off the ground.
Football.London understands that Piatek's agent is already meeting with AC Milan as they thrash out a deal that could be worth €40m, ten times what Genoa paid for the striker from Polish side Cracovia last summer.
In fact, Genoa CEO Giorgio Perinetti has admitted that he is expecting Milan to come with their offer in the next few days and that could mean th Rossonieri offload striker Gonzalo Higuain, who has been heavily linked with joining Chelsea this month.
Perinetti told RMC Sport : "We have not received the offer yet.
"We know the involvement of Milan for Piatek. We know that they could make an offer in the next few days.
"Once we receive the offer, we'll evaluate and get back to them.
"If Milan want to sign Piatek immediately they must know that they would have to make a substantial offer and certainly not tie it to any weird formulas."
The Hammers have been linked to Piatek and Celta Vigo frontman Maxi Gomez in recent days after Marko Arnautovic was the subject of a £31.5m bid from a Chinese Super League club and West Ham's top brass are expecting an improved bid for the Austrian after the initial approach was reject.

Last night, the heated debate on vaccination reached a boiling point.
On March 26, 2019, in Rockland County, NY, unvaccinated children were barred from public places. Not only schools. Restaurants, supermarkets, worship places. They're practically on house arrest. What about doctor's offices and the ER? I don't know.
This is unprecedented.
Rockland County is a 300K strong suburb of New York City. Almost a third are Jewish, many Orthodox. The anti-vax movement found a sweet home here. Less than 73% of the kids under 18 are vaccinated. That's the end of herd immunity.
Herd immunity is a form of community immunity that occurs when enough of the population is vaccinated. It's essential for the protection of those who can't tolerate immunization. For measles, which is highly contagious, the HIT, heard immunity threshold is 92-95%. At 73%, there is no herd immunity.
Measles was declared extinct in the US in 2000. Eighteen years ago. The lack of horrific deaths helped perpetuate a laissez-faire attitude towards immunization. It boosted the anti-vax movement, allowing more and more Internet educated parents to forgo immunizing their kids with impunity. The anti-vax movement spread like a forest fire.
Measles is now doing the same.
The New York Times: "Measles was proclaimed eliminated in the United States in 2000, but a handful of outbreaks have spread in recent years. There have been 314 confirmed measles cases in the United States in 2019, as of March 21… In addition to New York, there have been recent measles outbreaks…in Washington State, Texas, Illinois and California. Rockland County, with a population of more than 300,000, has had 153 confirmed cases of measles since October. Of those, 48 have occurred in 2019."
CDC: "Measles is among the most contagious of the infectious diseases. The virus can live for up to two hours in the airspace where an infected person has breathed, coughed or sneezed, and up to 90 percent of nonimmunized people who are exposed to the virus will also become infected. The M.M.R. vaccine, when given in two doses, is about 97 percent effective against measles."
Got that? If an infected person sneezed an hour ago on the apples you're looking at, you have a 90% chance of getting it. Same with your kid! Unless you're immunized!
Those who get measles may suffer from severe complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis. They may need to be hospitalized. Some will die. As per CDC:
As many as one out of every 20 children with measles gets pneumonia, the most common cause of death from measles in young children.
About one child out of every 1,000 who get measles will develop encephalitis. That can lead to convulsions and can leave the child deaf or with intellectual disability.
For every 1,000 children who get measles, one or two will die from it.
Measles may cause a pregnant woman to give birth prematurely, or have a low-birth-weight baby.
Does vaccination work? Yes, it does. Still, nothing in life is 100% certain. Except death. As per CDC, the confirmed cases of measles in Rockland County had the following vaccination rates:
82.1% had 0 MMRs: That means NONE! No vaccinations. Zero!
4% had 1 MMR
4% had 2 MMRs
9% unknown
As for Jenny McCarthy, the sweetheart of the antivaxx movement – this is what her pediatrician, the one who supported the insanity, tweeted recently: "If you are living in the midst of a measles outbreak and you have an older unvaccinated child to whom you have been reluctant to give the MMR, now's the time. There are personal AND public health considerations."
Let's say you didn't vaccinate, and your kid got measles. It was rough, but now he's looking good. You're proud of yourself. You feel superior to those who vaccinated their kids. You're golden.
Not so much, sparky.
Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) is a very rare, but fatal disease of the central nervous system that results from a measles virus infection acquired earlier in life. SSPE generally develops 7 to 10 years after a person has measles, even though the person seems to have fully recovered from the illness. There is no cure.
Seven to ten years. That's a long time to watch.
On Tuesday, in an unprecedented step, the Rockland County executive, Ed Day, declared a state of emergency, effective at midnight, that bars children and teenagers who are not vaccinated against measles, from public places. He said: "we do not plan on "chasing people down" and asking for proof that they are vaccinated. The prohibition will be enforced retroactively, with parents facing up to six months in jail or a fine of up to $500, or both, if they are found to have allowed unvaccinated children in public spaces."
As per The New York Times, reactions have been mixed. Rabbi Yakov Horowitz, the dean of a community at the center of Rockland County's measles outbreak supports vaccinations, but he is worried that the county's declaration might lead to potential harassment, attacks, and discrimination against ultra-Orthodox Jews.
Some public health experts expressed concern that the county's order infringes on civil liberties. Lawrence O. Gostin, professor of global health law at Georgetown University, found Rockland County's emergency order problematic. "This is virtually imprisonment of a child, and certainly significantly restricting the child's liberty."
Is this a good idea? Should we practically imprison these children who have done nothing wrong and have no say as to choosing to be vaccinated or not? Does the government have a right to restrict their freedom?
I say YES.
First, it's for their own sake. Measles is nasty. It's dangerous. It can kill. If they stay home, they're less likely to ever catch it.
But of course I wouldn't restrict them just for that. If their parents are willing to take the risks, I, as a libertarian, would allow them to do so. If they die, they die. You, Internet educated parents, should know better. It's Darwin at work.
But there are all the others.
The other kids. The ones who can't get vaccinated – they're too young, they're allergic, they're immunocompromised. They depend on herd immunity. They need to be sheltered.
The pregnant women.
The immunocompromised: Cancer patients. Transplant patients. Patients with autoimmune diseases. It may be your grandma, your aunt, your neighbor.
They should stay home, you say? But they have to live. They have to eat. They have to shop. They don't know you're not immunized, and that elevator you just sneezed in has become an execution chamber. They don't know you're a ticking bomb. You do.
So yes. Lock them up, I say.
They're a danger to society, and to people who can't protect themselves. Their freedom to go out interferes with their neighbor's freedom to stay alive.
Lock them up.

Thank you Rada. For your thoughts and education and wonderful writing. I am so glad I now have the term "internet educated" in my lexicon.
Kay Anderson says:
It's very telling that our friend Elnathan John is concerned that US children will spread disease in Africa. The countries I've visited in Africa appreciate vaccines and immunize as best they can, which often results in better immunization rates than in the USA. Thanks Rada! Well stated!

Hàrpal (Hàrpalus, Ἅρπαλος) fou un noble macedoni, fill de Macates (Machatas) de la família reial de Elimiotis i nebot del rei Filip II de Macedònia que estava casat amb Fila, germana de Macates. Tot i aquest enllaç matrimonial la casa reial d'Elimiotis era generalment contrària a la casa reial de Macedònia i Filip II va annexionar el regne i va abolir la monarquia.

Hàrpal apareix residint a la cort del rei de Macedònia i li fou confiada alguna missió d'importància però en general no sembla que fou un dels més propers del rei, i a aquesta circumstància s'atribueix la proximitat d'Hàrpal amb Alexandre i la seva participació en les intrigues per l'enllaç del príncep amb la filla de Pixòdar de Cària, cosa que va molestar a Filip, que el va desterrar com a tots els que van participar en l'afer. Aquesta aparent desgràcia temporal el va afavorir a la mort de Filip. Alexandre el va cridar i el va promoure a importants càrrecs. Hàrpal va ser nomenat aviat superintendent del tresor i va acompanyar al rei a Àsia.

Probablement es va apoderar de diners del tresor i per por de ser descobert i castigat, poc després de la batalla d'Issos va fugir a Grècia i es va establir a Mègara. Alexandre li va escriure i li va demanar de tornar prometent oblidar el passat. Hàrpal es va reunir amb el rei a Tir quan Alexandre tornava d'Egipte (331 aC) i va obtenir el perdó i fou restablert en la seva antiga posició.

Quan Alexandre, després de conquerir Mèdia, va iniciar la seva expedició cap a orient en persecució de Darios III de Pèrsia, Hàrpal es va quedar a Ecbàtana amb sis mil soldats macedonis com encarregat del tresor reial. De la ciutat d'Ecbàtana es va traslladar a Babilònia, i va governar la satrapia sense perdre l'administració del tresor.

Durant l'absència d'Alexandre que era a l'Índia es va comportar amb els més extravagant luxe i va gastar una part del tresor que li havia estat confiat al mateix temps que perdia el suport del poble pels seus excessos i l'extorsió que practicava. Les dones natives eren obligades a servir als seus plaers i els dels seus amics, però a més va fer venir d'Atenes a una famosa prostituta de nom Pitionice a la que va rebre amb els més sorprenents honors, i quan va morir li va erigir dos costosos monuments, un a Babilònia i un a Atenes (aquest darrer és esmentat per Pausànies com un dels més esplèndids de Grècia). A Pitionice la va substituir Glicera, a la que els habitants de la satrapia havien de retre honors del tipus dels reservats generalment a les reines. Tot això va provocar les queixes dels oficials i funcionaris macedonis i entre ells l'historiador Teopomp de Quios que va escriure una carta a Alexandre exposant els seves queixes. També es van queixar Efialtes i Cissos, segons Plutarc.

Hàrpal esperava que Alexandre no tornaria de la seva expedició però quan es va assabentar que el rei estava tornant cap a Susa i que estava castigant amb inusual rigor a tots els oficials que eren culpables d'excessos, va decidir fugir amb el tresor que estava format per uns 5000 talents. Amb un cos de mercenaris de 6000 homes va seguir per la costa d'Àsia i va arribar a Àtica; ja havia enviat a Atenes un gran present de gra a canvi del qual va rebre la ciutadania atenenca i sembla que fou rebut amistosament a la ciutat però no se li van voler donar terres, i llavors va sortir cap a Tenaros on va deixar als mercenaris i va tornar a Atenes on de nou fou admès a la ciutat; va utilitzar el tresor reial a la seva conveniència, subornant als que li podien fer costat i aconseguint el suport del poble contra Alexandre i el seu regent a Macedònia, Antípater; entre els que es diu que va subornar estaven Demades, Càricles d'Atenes (gendre de Foció) i fins i tot el mateix Demòstenes, si bé això no pot ser comprovat i no passa d'una sospita.

Antípater va exigir la seva entrega. Els atenencs el van posar sota custòdia a l'espera de què Antípater enviés a buscar-lo. Però Hàrpal es va poder escapar de la presó i es va reunir amb els seus mercenària a Tenaros des d'on va transportar als soldats i el que li quedava del tresor cap a Creta.

Només arribar a l'illa fou assassinat segons uns per Timbró, un dels seus oficials, i segon altres per un macedoni de nom Pausànies.

Emma Stone Never Thought She'd Be Able to Move Away From Home Because of Her Anxiety
She didn't want to move away from her support system.

In addition to blowing us away on the big screen, Oscar winner Emma Stone has become a strong advocate for mental health awareness. And the actress is getting candid about her struggles with anxiety once again for the sake of a new campaign. In a new video, Stone revealed that while she's currently "living a pretty normal and exciting and vibrant life," she didn't always think she would be able to.
In the People exclusive video for the Child Mind Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to transforming the lives of children and families living with mental health conditions, Stone discussed what she would tell her younger self about dealing with anxiety. "[Anxiety] has always been something that I've lived with, and it flares up in big ways at different times in my life," she said. "Sometimes while it's happening—like while I'm in a phase of real turmoil, or the anxiety is very strong—it feels like it's never going to end. But it does."
Stone specifically noted that over the years, she's been able to manage her anxiety with the help of a therapist and some cognitive behavioral tools, like meditation. But while she feels in control of her anxiety now, the actress confessed that when she was younger, she worried it would hold her back and prevent her from leading a "normal" life. "As I've gotten older, I've learned how to manage it," she said. "I truly, as a kid, did not think I would ever be able to move away from home or be apart from people [who supported me]."
And even though Stone still copes with anxiety today, she said she's become more aware of what she needs to do to care for herself. And as far as she's concerned, that's pretty reassuring. "It's so nice to know in those moments of real intensity that it will shift and it will change," she said. "There's a lot I can do to help myself."

Melukote is also called Thirunarayanapuram. 'Mel' means above and 'Kotai' means a small hill having a fort. As per tradition Melkote is called Gnana mandapam, Kanchi is the Tyaga mandapam, Srirangam is the Bhoga mandapam and Tirumala is called the Pushpa mandapam. Melkote is situated near Mandya town in Karnataka state. Devotees can reach this place from Bangalore or Mysore. As per sthalapuraanam, in the krutha yugam, a sage Sanatkumar brought the Utsavamurthy of Lord Vishnu from Satya lokam. Thus this place was called Narayanadri. In Threta yugam, Dattatreya worshipped this idol with Vedadhyayanam and so it was then called Vedadri. In Dwapara yugam Lord Srikrishna worshipped the idol here and so it was called Yadavadri.
The temple at Melkote belongs to 11th or 12th centuries. Bhagawadramanujam stayed here for 12 years when the Chola king Krimitantudu was torturing the people. He restored the Melkote temple with the help of King Vishuvardhana. Ramanujam re-installed the utsavamurthulu which were with Delhi Nawab. The idol in this temple appears as a 14, 15 years handsome boy. Goddess Lakshmi is called Yadugiri nachiyar. Lord Narsimha swamy temple is situated on a temple here. Brahmotasavam and Vairmudi festival are the important festivals here.

Mussi Weinfeld
Rebbetzin and Co-director
Rabbi Mendel and Mussi Weinfeld serve as the directors of the organization. They moved to San Jose at the start of 2020. They were born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, and are members of the Chabad community headed by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneersohn. It was his vision that led them to move down as his emissaries to service the Jewish community.

Russian-Programing Director
Chabad-Lubavitch is a philosophy, a movement, and an organization. It is considered to be the most dynamic force in Jewish life today.
The word "Chabad" is a Hebrew acronym for the three intellectual faculties of chachmah-wisdom, binah-comprehension, and da'at-knowledge. The movement's system of Jewish religious philosophy, the deepest dimension of G-d's Torah, teaches understanding and recognition of the Creator, the role and purpose of Creation, and the importance and unique mission of each Creature. This philosophy guides a person to refine and govern his and her every act and feeling through wisdom, comprehension, and knowledge.
The word "Lubavitch" is the name of the town in White Russia where the movement was based for more than a century. Appropriately, the word Lubavitch in Russian means the "city of brotherly love." The name Lubavitch conveys the essence of the responsibility and love engendered by the Chabad philosophy toward every single Jew.
Following its inception 250 years ago, the Chabad-Lubavitch movement -- a branch of Chasidism -- swept through Russia and spread in surrounding countries as well. It provided scholars with answers that eluded them and simple farmers with a love that had been denied of them. Eventually, the philosophy of Chabad-Lubavitch and its adherents reached almost every corner of the world and affected almost every facet of Jewish life.
The movement is guided by the teachings of its seven leaders ("Rebbe's"), beginning with Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi, of righteous memory (1745-1812). These leaders expounded upon the most refined and delicate aspects of Jewish mysticism, creating a corpus of study thousands of books strong. They personified the age-old, Biblical qualities of piety and leadership. And they concerned themselves not only with Chabad-Lubavitch, but with the totality of Jewish life, spiritual and physical. No person or detail was too small or insignificant for their love and dedication.
In our generation, the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, known simply as "the Rebbe," guided post-holocaust Jewry to safety from the ravages of that devastation.
The origins of today's Chabad-Lubavitch organization can be traced to the early 1940s when the sixth Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneersohn of righteous memory (1880-1950), appointed his son-in-law and later successor, Rabbi Menachem Mendel, to head the newly-founded educational and social service arms of the movement.
Motivated by his profound love for every Jew and spurred by his boundless optimism and self-sacrifice, the Rebbe set into motion a dazzling array of programs, services, and institutions to serve every Jew.
Today 5,800 full-time emissary families apply 250-year-old principles and philosophy to direct more than 4,500 institutions (and a workforce that numbers in the tens of thousands) dedicated to the welfare of the Jewish people worldwide.
Our goal is to foster a personal and meaningful connection with every individual in San Jose, allowing us to cater to your unique needs. At Chabad, every community member feels a sense of belonging.
We provide various services to the Jewish community, with a focus on educational programs ranging from Preschool through Hebrew School to advanced Jewish learning classes for adults. We also host programs for children, women, professionals and families, as well as Shabbat and Holiday meals, events, synagogue services.
Ultimately, we are here to help San Jose residents with anything you might need, be it physical or spiritual.
Chabad is a center for Jewish life where everyone is welcome, regardless of background, knowledge, or Jewish affiliation.
Here at Chabad, we practice Judaism with love, care, and passion, providing people of all ages with a warm, genuine, and personalized Jewish experience.
