__label__wiki	0.7776	0.7776	Douglas Lundren, French Horn / Barbara Gonzales-Palmer, Piano – Le cor francais authentique (The Truly French Horn) – release date June 15 “Le cor français authentique” brings a style of purely French musicianship on a truly French horn playing an all-French repertoire in the hands of a master musician, Douglas Lundeen, who has researched the horn in its various incarnations throughout the ages, playing on a design of the French horn which would have been a standard for the 19th century and beyond. The valve was first introduced on the horn c. before 1814 by a German hornist/instrument builder Heinrich Stölzel, as a means of changing the length of the instrument while playing in order to fill in the gaps between the natural harmonics. Indeed, up until the later 1940’s, English horn players played on instruments of French design and manufacture. These instruments were built with trumpet-like piston valves and fitted with natural horn crooks. They also maintained the slender dimensions of the pre-valve instrument, which had reached its highest degree of perfection and virtuosic refinement in France in the first half of the 19th century. The singular sound of this instrument, as heard on this CD, harkens back to some of the best viruosic players of the golden age of the design. The repertoire of Planel, Tomasi, Bozza, Gounod, Dukas, Saint-Saens and others are presented as these composers intended and “heard” their works to be played on this French valved instrument. The technical competence required for each track is unique, as some of them were regarded as a test of the highest level of performance. The Saint-Saens and Gounod tracks are included as examples of the pure vocal treatment of the horn by two of France’s greatest composers. The Dukas track was the first conservatory test-piece for horn to specifically exploit the newly “legitimized” valve instrument. Tomasi describes what he composed in this way: “I write for the public at large. Music that doesn’t come from the heart isn’t music.” Listening to this album will give you an entrée into a world of the French horn which has seldom been heard, and certainly not in one collection such as this, played by one of the instrument’s best and most studied master. New Releases, News Eric Rieger, Tenor / J.J. Penna, Piano – Poet’s Journey – Song Cycles of Benjamin Britten Every song is a journey: a voyage of the human experience explored through the intersection of poetry and music. In fact, a song serves as a natural extension of the original poem that allows us to experience words in a new and insightful way. A composer of songs is then also a poet: a creator of profound meaning through text, meter, harmony, texture, and lyricism. The great English composer Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) is a prime example. A great lover of poetry throughout his life, and friend to such great poets as W. H. Auden, it is difficult to think of another song composer who consistently chose poems of such high quality and breadth to set to music. Furthermore, Britten seems to fall in line as the rightful successor to Franz Schubert in the way he virtually composes the essence of a poem musically. On this recording by outstanding tenor Eric Rieger and renowned accompanist JJ Penna, we explore the Poet’s Journey in three of Britten’s most important song cycles, each of which is bound to the works of a great poet: Michelangelo, Thomas Hardy, and John Donne. In each work, we discover Britten’s gift of lyricism, superb understanding of the voice, and exceptional pianistic capabilities. One finds a clear reverence to composer Henry Purcell through the use of florid, expansive setting of text and the use of ancient compositional techniques such as the ground bass. Britten skillfully combines these concepts with the modern influence of such great 20th century composers as Mahler and Stravinsky to create something unique and exciting. By nature, he was also a great collaborator who always chose to make music with other musicians over pursuing a career as a solo pianist. It is only natural that he would choose to compose so many songs extending most into song cycles to adequately express his deepest thoughts and feelings through an intimate and collaborative approach. This album is, without doubt, one of the finest collections of Benjamin Britten’s style, his work, and his gift to the world of music. Joyce Lindorff, Harpsichord – La Raphaele – The Art of Francois Couperin La Raphaèle: The Art of François Couperin pays homage to this Italian master long venerated by the Parisian Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. This reverence also rang true of François Couperin as musical creator, who was clearly struck by Raphael’s art, and so named the first movement of his Huitième Ordre’s majestic opening allemande after the artist. World-renowned harpsichordist Joyce Lindorff recreates Couperin’s L’Art de Toucher le Clavecin, Sixième Ordre, and Huitième Ordre with exquisite musicianship honed over four decades of researching and studying the styles and methods of the most famous keyboard composers of the 17th through 18th centuries. The essay in the booklet accompanying this album provides the listener with essential knowledge of both the composer and the selections in creating a full experience of this magnificent music. David Amram – So in America will be released on March 16, 2018 The phenomenon of legendary composer and multi-instrumentalist DAVID AMRAM defies easy definitions. Always ahead of his time in anything that he created, and immersed in jazz, folk, world music, film and theater music, as well as in contemporary classical music, he was praised by The Washington Post as “one of the most versatile and skilled musicians America has ever produced”, while The Boston Globe hailed him as “the Renaissance man of American music”, and The New York Times proclaimed him “multicultural before multiculturalism existed”. Being first and being ahead of his time comes naturally to David Amram – a pioneer of the jazz French Horn who simultaneously amassed the highest number of performances of the Brahms Horn Trio, while fascinating the crowds at folk and world music festivals, writing several books, composing scores for films and plays, touring worldwide, collaborating with iconic figures like Jack Kerouac, Elia Kazan, Arthur Miller, Eugene Ormandy, Thelonious Monk, Charles Mingus, Dizzy Gillespie, Lionel Hampton, Johnny Depp, Hunter S. Thompson, Odetta, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Betty Carter, Floyd Red Crow Westerman, Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Paquito D’Rivera and Tito Puente, and at the same time also making his mark as a celebrated prolific composer of classical music, having written over 100 works in the symphonic, operatic and chamber music genres. “Being first” also came into play when Leonard Bernstein appointed David Amram as the first ever composer-in-residence of the New York Philharmonic. Being “ahead of his time” also led David Amram to pioneer, together with Jack Kerouac, the first ever Jazz/Poetry readings in New York City in 1957. Amram’s legacy is a huge collection of so many milestones and inroads, that have established him as not only one of the most eclectic composers of the 20th and 21st centuries, but also as a guiding light, role model and enormous source of inspiration for younger generations. This album presents selected chamber music compositions written by David Amram between 1958 and 2017, and includes four world premiere recordings. The internationally-acclaimed performers – violinist Elmira Darvarova, saxophonist Kenneth Radnofsky, pianist Thomas Weaver, violist Ronald Carbone, cellist Samuel Magill, The New York Piano Quartet and The Amram Ensemble – all of them devoted champions of Amram’s music, are joined on this album by David Amram who accompanies. New Release: “Songs of Darkness and Hope” by The Messalonskee Public Schools Choral Program “Songs of Darkness and Hope” was the culmination of a project conceived and created by choral music teacher Pam Rhein of the Meesalonskee Public Schools – Rural School Unit #18 in Oakland Maine for the “Shoah Student Education Initiative” of the Maine State Holocaust and Human Rights Center in the state capital of Augusta. The songs are composed from poems written by interred children found on the walls of concentration camps after WW2, along with a few camp work songs found in the Center’s historical archives. Sung by over 400 students from 5th grade through high school, combined choirs and select auditioned choirs conducted by high school choral teacher Kevin Rhein, the creation of this album was a moving experience in education which changed the lives of those involved, students and teachers alike, many of whom were moved to tears upon hearing the preproduction master. Both Pam and Kevin Rhein, husband and wife, were selected as Maine State Music Teacher of the Year. The uniqueness of this album is due to many aspects relating to the holocaust and human rights, so very important in our world today. It is safe to say that few albums of this nature and significance have ever been produced in such a rural school district, with some of the pieces stunningly performed due to the quality of the music educators in this school district. Available now at Amazon. New Release: “Provenance” by the Kinnara Ensemble / J.D. Burnett The past two decades have marshaled an upspringing of professional choral ensembles in the United States, enriching the artistic environment for choral music lovers and professional singers alike. A product of that new landscape, the fully professional Kinnara Ensemble has forged a bold path in the busy musical marketplace in New Jersey and the surrounding areas. Kinnara Ensemble was founded in the fall of 2008 by a handful of recent Westminster Choir College alumni who missed the musical fulfillment they enjoyed as students. Ten years later, Kinnara Ensemble, comprising singers from throughout the nation, releases this album commemorating our provenance and the ensuing path of musical and human exploration. Kinnara Ensemble strives to honor the capacious choral tradition – that rich inheritance – with exemplary choral experiences that speak to the modern soul. Kinnara Ensemble’s first album, Provenance, is a bold step out for this recent arrival on the choral scene. The ensemble tackles a wide array of choral repertoire: di Lasso, Brahms, Poulenc, Paulus… and the austere, stunning, and rarely recorded Lamentations of Jeremiah by Alberto Ginastera. Available now at Amazon and iTunes. ‹ 1 2 3 4 5 6 ›	cc/2022-05/en_head_0037.json.gz/line3
__label__cc	0.722114	0.277886	I'M THE GUY! 1st Guy to call himself a Disability Claims Consultant. Disability Insurance Claim Advice Gotcha!" (Disability Insurance Claim Management) Health Insurance Underwriter (National Association of Health Underwriters), November, 1997 By Art Fries It's time for producers to fight for more honor in the disability claims marketplace. It's not too late for a change. There's an old saying... "He got caught with his hand in the cookie jar." There are too many hands in too many cookie jars, and it's time to put the lid on this behavior. It is correct procedure to investigate disability claims and to not pay those that appear to be fraudulent or have no legal basis. However, the long-term implications of questionable behavior on the part of some carriers can cause serious damage to those who create disability products, as well as to those who sell them. For example, in the last several years a number of life insurance carriers have been sued for management decisions that were not ethical. Some home offices not only tolerated this behavior but turned their head when the obvious was staring them in the face. "Piggyback" life insurance sales (borrowing from the cash value of one policy to pay the premium on another, without proper disclosure to the policyholder) and "vanishing premiums" are just a few examples. This type of behavior on the part of a number of disability carriers can be economically good in the short run but can have serious consequences on a long-term basis. The good economics are for stockholders, directors, and those in senior management who are compensated for looking good on the claim charts. (And you would, too, if you saw your stock double over a two-year period!) But what about the long-term implications for producers who are getting hurt by this negative behavior, and for the policyholders/claimants who are given promises that are not kept? There are also claimants left in the path of this improper conduct who have already been economically "buried," or soon will be. And brokers/agents who believed they were providing a financially sound policy from a company with a good reputation are finding their credibility slowly disappearing. Reputations hold up until you get your hand caught in the cookie jar, and there are too many hands in cookie jars these days! Claims that used to take two or three months at most are taking six to eight months just for a decision; the amount of paperwork is truly disturbing; and when requests for information are made there are long delays so that carriers can earn even more interest "on the float." Of course there's nothing wrong with requesting an independent medical evaluation (IME) by the insurance company if it's objective and fair, but an exam by a physician who is not a specialist for a particular claim, or one who has no patients but merely a paper trail reputation, is neither objective nor independent. A call to the attending physician by the home office physician to catch him or her "off guard" or to misquote him or her is another tactic with serious abuse. Unreasonable, harassing video surveillance, CPA visits to the office asking to see records more than a year old, and unannounced visits by local claims adjusters to one's home all add salt to the wound. So what's the purpose of all these abuses? To wear down the policyholder from an emotional as well as a financial standpoint, with the objective of (a) paying no money; (b) paying a lower percentage on a partial (residual) claim; or (c) securing a "buyback" of the policy at eight cents on the dollar and getting rid of the "reserve" set up on the claim. It's simple economics. When you take in billions of dollars in premium cash flow based on promises made but not kept, it's easy to become a profitable business. A disability claim consultant is on the front lines. As a former disability insurance salesperson of many years, I'm in demand because of the need for these consulting services and very little competition. My consulting income is secure as long as this unfortunate behavior on the part of some carriers continues. But at my age and state of health, I would rather do less business and see more honor in the disability claims marketplace. There is much loss of credibility that may never be repaired, but it is not too late to try to change, before we fall into the void created by unethical home office claim management. Some years ago several automobile manufacturers were faced with a major decision. Should they send a recall notice to hundreds of thousands of customers who were driving cars with a defective part, or should they let those thousands of people risk accidents? The end result was that their hands got caught in the cookie jar and reputations were tarnished for years into the future. NAHU has become a 14,000-plus member organization in part because of a significant interest in producer membership. The money contributed by these producers helped make political changes at a time when many carriers sat back and kept their profits in the bank. It's time for producers to stand up and make themselves heard if they want to bring respectability back to disability claim handling. Let's stop the abuse!

__label__wiki	0.622519	0.622519	Fine script and acting bring PHOTOGRAPH 51 into focus at Actors’ Summit January 20, 2014 by Roy Berko Roy Berko Member, American Theatre Critics Association, Cleveland Critics Circle PHOTOGRAPH 51 is a bio-drama based on the life of Rosalind Franklin, a British biophysicist and crystallographer. Many think she should have been a Noble prize-recipient, but her standoffish personality, perfectionism, and some seemingly unethical actions by others, as well as the possibility of gender discrimination against her, got in the way. Franklin, who was born into an affluent and influential British Jewish family, was responsible for making critical contributions to the understanding of the double helix, thus defining the molecular structures of DNA, RNA and viruses. Her brilliant career was brought to a close when she died at age 37 of ovarian cancer. Anna Ziegler’s script was not developed in a traditional manner. The play, which was presented at the 2011 World Science Festival in New York, was originally developed by The Ensemble Studio Theatre under the sponsorship of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation Science and Technology Project. Yes, a play developed with the aid of an organization which is noted for sponsoring scientific achievement, not the arts. Franklin’s tale is complex and shows a smart woman, operating in a field dominated by men. It highlights the 1953 era when Franklin and several male scientists are on the verge of discovering what they called, “the secret of life—the DNA double helix.” We observe Franklin both trying and avoiding forming any type of relationship, professional or personal. We watch her struggle with her being concise, impatient, and directly confrontational, which irritates and unnerves her male co-workers. We observe her being ahead of the pack in discovery, but not writing the needed journal articles or the building of models, which eventually leads to her ideas being usurped and published by Francis Crick, James Watson and Maurice Wilkins. This resulted in the trio winning the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine. Supposedly, Franklin was omitted from Nobel recognition because she had died, and the deceased are not allowed to receive the award. In reality, she had been eliminated from consideration when the trio “stole” her work, tweaked the findings, and published it without noting her contributions. The Actors’ Summit production is exceptionally well done. The one-hundred-ten minute play, under the focused direction of Neil Thackaberry, moves swiftly. The script is strong and, in spite the fact that this is a “talk” rather than an action play, the production grabs and holds attention. The acting is generally of a high level. Sally Groth inhabits the role of Rosalind. We are caught up in her inner anguish, her obsessive personality, her struggle to move beyond her lack of social graces. This is a woman on a mission, but makes some tactical decisions that deny her deserved fame. Keith Stevens creates in Maurice Wilkins, Rosalind’s supposed research partner, a clear person who has a love/hate relationship with her. Kenneth Leep is outstanding as Don Casper, the American who admires Rosalind’s work and has romantic feelings toward her, which she rejects. Zach Griffin is wonderful as Ray Gosling, Rosalind’s put-upon assistant, who provides some comic relief. Capsule judgement: PHOTOGRAPH 51 is a well written script which gets a very strong production. The play is a must see for anyone who wants to be exposed to what, for most, will be a venture into the complex world of science that is presented in a meaningful way, by a cast that makes the lesson fascinating.

__label__cc	0.519887	0.480113	Mass Destruction Author: Jo Word count : 4,005 Pairing : B/A Rating: Anyone Summary: Apocalypses come in all sorts, with all sorts of consequences. Some of them might even be real. The Apocalypse was supposed to come from the heavens. Buffy and Angel knew that. They’d fought enough false ones, ones that had been sent by Hell, or brought about by demons. The real one, the one that was foretold, should come from the heavens. And it did, but not in the way that they expected. For this most final of Apocalypses, there were no Horsemen, no heavenly battalions of angels releasing pre-ordained carnage upon the world. No power of evil rose from The Pit, there were no Hellish Legions, no battle at the end of time. This Apocalypse offered no rapture, no last judgement, and no redemption. It had long been feared that the Apocalypse might be brought about by man, by the weapons of mass destruction, by nuclear death, by man-made plagues, by climate-fuelled famines. There were none of these. This weapon of mass destruction was not one of mankind’s. It was a simple asteroid. A planet-killer. It came with almost no warning, plunging out of the Sun, unseen by astronomers until it was only a few hours away. Some hoped that the Moon would stop it, but it grazed past, missing by a cosmic hairsbreadth, rolling and tumbling, and as deadly accurate as a well-thrown slingshot. Buffy wanted to try and save people. It was Angel who understood how impossible that was. He only had time to knock her out, scoop her up, grab as many supplies as possible, and head for the nearest hole in the ground. For the first time in his existence, he cursed the fact that the Hellmouth was gone. No matter how dangerous, that would have been safer. Instead, he made do with a long-abandoned gold mine, deep in the hills around Los Angeles, finding a tiny rubble-choked entrance to a maze of cramped passages. Half a dozen strangers had had the same thought, and they followed the tall man who didn’t need a torch, but who carried his awkward burden, the limp form of a small, blonde woman, deep underground. When she recovered consciousness, secure in Angel’s arms, Buffy railed at him for not letting her save people, then cried as the truth dawned on her. He’d done all he could, all anyone could. He’d tried to save them both. Whether that would succeed had nothing to do with Angel fire or Hell fire, and all to do with the strength of the planet. Even hunkered down as far beneath the surface as they could get, they knew when the asteroid hit, a fiery cannon ball of rock, twenty miles wide. No-one could possibly not have known that moment. The planet shuddered, and rang like a bell, faltering in its endless dance around the Sun. By a grimly ironic coincidence, it hit exactly where the dinosaur-killer had hit, on the Yucatan Peninsula. The impact threw flaming, sulphurous rock debris high into the atmosphere, and beyond, and an inferno swept around the world as the atmosphere caught fire. On the opposite side of the planet, the Earth bulged, and its skin cracked open, as fragile as a broken egg. Flood lavas poured out, changing the continents forever. And the Earth burned. Coalfields, oilfields, nation-sized peat beds, even naked rock, everything burned beneath that sky of fire, taking forests and plains, cities and deserts, consuming all the world’s oxygen. Even though he had no need to breathe, Angel was the first to understand the change in the atmosphere. He scrambled back to the surface, to be met by the sight of Hell on Earth. Quickly, he brought down the entrance until there was just a wall of rock and sand, and the air within the mine was preserved. Back with the survivors, he took Buffy aside, and gave her the grim news of what he’d seen outside. “I’m going to have to go exploring.” “Because everything we have here is all we’re going to have for a long time to come. We need more air and we need more water. I’m the only one that won’t suffer if I break into a cave that has no oxygen at all. You have to keep everyone here calm. Conserve air and supplies. Let me do what I’m best placed to do.” He set off into the darkness of the tunnels, accompanied by only the occasional sound of scurrying rodents. The first day, he found a small gap into a natural cave system, and widened it so that more air could get through. He squeezed past the rocky gateway, to find a more extensive system of caverns, with a pool of clear water. There were several rocky pinch points in the passageways, but eventually he came to the cave mouth. He had to stand back from the appalling furnace heat, but even above the roaring of the fires, he heard another, deeper sound. He understood immediately, and prayed that he’d found a place that was high enough as well as deep enough. The ocean was too far away to be seen, but a planet-sized tsunami would soon be rolling over the continent. Fear lent him speed. He snatched up a couple of charred carcasses from the cave mouth, dead and roasted deer that would feed the survivors, and squeezed back through the pinch points, pulling down the rocky ceilings behind him. He had to preserve the sweet water pool at all costs. He might not be able to find another, after the salt water had swept through. If, that were, they weren’t swept away themselves by the power of the tidal wave. At least they were on the side of the hills that faced away from the water. He dropped the carcasses around the corner from where Buffy and the others had made camp by the light of a single candle. They were as deep in the mine as they could get. There was nowhere else to go. “Brace yourselves,” he told them, as he sat and took Buffy into his arms, hiding from her his broken and bleeding hands. Minutes later, a tsunami that had girdled the world smashed its way onto the land, obliterating hills and valleys, remaking the face of the continent. Their refuge shuddered from the force of it, and the humans held their ears, trying to keep out the sound that suggested mountains being ripped out by their roots, but the chain behind them held. When it was over, one of the women was sobbing. All the others were silently curled up, immobilised by fear. Buffy went over to the crying woman, holding her. “There’s food,” Angel told her, keeping his voice dispassionate. “You’d better all eat while it’s fresh.” “I’m fine.” She gave him an old-fashioned look, and he ducked his head, unable to look her in the eye. He was fine now, but for how long? The tooth-sharpening scents of blood and fear were thick in the close confinement. He resumed his explorations, glad to get away. When he went back to the natural cave, the pool of water had survived, but the cave itself had been swept clean. Only the last two rockfalls that he had created still survived. Outside, the land was a featureless plain of sand and mud, mixed with the splintered remains of trees and shattered rock, and great salt lakes. The sky still burned, but the fires on Earth had been extinguished. He needed to be strong for the people in his care, so he sat and wept alone, grieving for everything that was gone, and for a future that could now never be. Over the following days, he excavated access points to other mines and other cave systems, always careful to create temporary blockages that would keep in as much air as possible. Occasionally he came across other pools, but these were all contaminated with salt water. And sometimes he came across animals that had sought refuge underground. He hunted these, penning the larger ones into dead end tunnels. When he took them, he always chose those in the worst condition, trying to eke out the living larder as long as possible. The blood sustained him, and the meat sustained everyone else. He watched the first nightfall, when the oxygen in the atmosphere at last ran out, and the sky fires flickered into darkness, leaving the airborne debris free to fall back to the surface of the Earth. The stars still shone, the Moon still looked down, but it was onto a planet that was shattered and broken. If there wasn’t enough plant life left on land or in the oceans to replenish the oxygen, these few surviving humans wouldn’t make it for more than a very few weeks. Nothing larger than a bacterium would survive. And neither would he. A vampire can go a very long time without blood, but if there was nothing drinkable left in the world? How could that go for him? After the fires and the tsunami came the rain. Not the life-giving, cleansing rain that was born of clouds of water vapour. These rainstorms were born of different clouds, boiling sulphurous clouds that stretched from horizon to horizon. Sulphuric acid. When it began to fall, he held out his hand to catch it, hoping it was pure, clean water. Instead, his skin burned and sizzled. It might as well have been holy water. The only difference was that humans wouldn’t be able to tolerate it, either. There was an irony in it, he thought grimly. Soon, he had networked miles of tunnels and caves, blocking in enough of an atmosphere to last for a good while. He brought the humans one starving animal after another, just enough to keep them alive, but at last, there were only rats left. And still the rain burned his skin. When the rats were gone, or too difficult to catch, even for a hungry vampire, it was still impossible to go outside. He looked around the tiny group, already showing too much stretched skin and protruding bone, and so much blood. He took Buffy aside. “I’ve got something to show you.” He took her through miles of tunnels, deep into the mountains, until they came to a shallow lake. “How are the supplies?” he asked. “If we keep on just eating a few bites a day, we’ve got enough for about another week. How long will the rain last? Because after that we’ll be eating each other.” He smiled wanly. “I can see you letting that happen.” “Don’t kid yourself. I’ll be the first one chomping on a chunky thigh.” He smiled at her attempt at humour. “I have no idea about the rain. It might stop tomorrow, or it might keep on for a year. I’m not an astrophysicist.” “What does your gut tell you?” “It’ll go on for a while yet.” He turned to look out across the black lake, but she knew his thoughts were far from there. She didn’t interrupt, and it was a long time before he spoke. “This water is clean,” he told her, “and as far as I can work out, the river that fed it has changed course or gone altogether. You should be safe from contamination by the acid. And there are fish in here. They’re quite small, but if you’re careful, they will last you for months. There are tiny shrimps, too. It would take a hundred to make a teaspoonful, but you can eat them. Can you remember how to get here?” “Of course I can. But what about you?” “There’s only one group of prey around here for me to eat. Maybe only one group in the entire world. And I’m not going to do that.” He pulled something from his pocket. It was a stake. “I want you to stake me. If you don’t, I’ll kill you all, eventually.” “No.” Her voice was very flat and very final. “Yes. You have to.” “I’ll feed every one of them to you before I stake you. I’ll make them give you blood turn and turn about. And you’ll have mine, of course.” He shook his head. “And turn me into The Master? I don’t think so. Besides, you can’t afford it.” “It won’t be for long! As soon as this rain stops, we can go and look for food and shelter and other people.” “You think there’ll be any?” He took her by the shoulders. “It’s all gone, Buffy. Everything. There might truly be nothing at all living on the face of the Earth except for us. And it’s hardly the Garden of Eden out there. The only chance you’ve got is if the ocean still has fish in it. Wherever the shore is nowadays, there might be shellfish if they haven’t all been boiled; edible seaweeds; crabs. There won’t be much, I guess, but there’s likely to be nothing on land. I can’t eat fish.” “It could keep you alive...” “No, Buffy. It couldn’t. It would be like you trying to live on diet soda. There’s no actual nutrition in it. You need to stake me now, while I’m still strong enough not to eat anyone.” “Angel, it can’t come to this! Please don’t do this to us. I need you. I can’t do this without you.” “I’ve done everything I can, Buffy. I’m a liability to you now. Your future lies with these other people.” He offered her the stake. “Please.” She snatched it from him. “No. Absolutely not.” His laughter was harsh. “You think there aren’t enough timbers in these mines to find another stake? Or I could just walk out into the rain, but I’d hoped you would give me a quicker end than that. I hoped you’d think I might have earned that much.” Her sob stopped him. He’d tried to keep his distance, but his resistance crumbled, as he knew his resistance to the call of blood would also crumble. But, for now, he folded her into his arms and held her close. “Please, Buffy. Or I’ll do it myself...” “You could turn me. We could fight this thing together. I could be by your side always. Have you thought of that?” He kissed her. “There isn’t a day goes past when I don’t think of doing that. But I won’t.” “There has to be another way,” she sobbed. “There has to be. What have vampires done in the past when they faced starvation?” He rested his forehead against hers. “They’d go to ground.” He pulled away and turned back to the lake. “A vampire can go to ground, and lie dormant until woken again. That can be a hit or miss affair, which is why it’s good to have someone around to do the waking up.” “Would that work here? For you?” “It might,” he admitted. “I’d be very hungry when I woke up...” “So, you could wait here, unharmed, until we’ve established whether anywhere has survived, and whether there’s anything for you to eat. No matter how long that takes?” “I suppose so.” “It’s better than being dusted, isn’t it?” His smile was warm, but his blood ran cold at the thought. He wouldn’t share that with her. Vampires who went to ground were very dangerous if they were left too long, the demon so much wilder, so much more primitive, than it had been before. And what of his soul? How would that manage, in the reconstruction of the demon? It was a ghost of a hope, though, for her, at least. “Yes. Just don’t leave it too long.” Together, they dug a hole in the sand by the lake. When it was deep enough, he took her hand and led her a little way along the water’s edge, where he laid her down and made love to her. There was no chance of perfect happiness here, just perfect desperation. And then he lay down in his new grave. Even through the first layers of sand, he could smell her tears, as she pushed the sand over him. It was the last thing he knew, before his body shut down. When she was done, and she’d dried her tears, she found a beautiful piece of crystal that had been shaken loose in the cataclysms, and laid it on the mounded sand beneath which her lover lay. “I’ll come back for you, Angel. One way or another, I’ll come back for you.” She knelt by his grave, and prayed that it would soon stop raining. She came back there every day of their incarceration. Col and Suk wormed their way into the cavern. They’d been following a small scattering of the sun metal, little pieces in the earth. If they could find enough of it, they might be able to trade it for some of the black stone that burns. That was so vanishingly rare that a lot of sun metal would be demanded. But, the black stone that burns was the only thing that would allow them to smelt the sharp metal to make better tools and weapons. So, they would dig until they had enough. There was no sun metal in this cavern, but there were tunnels leading off, and they would be worth following. Perhaps they would find some old workings from the Last Inhabitants. Or better, perhaps they could find some ancient tools or other artifacts. All of those fetched a good price. For now, though, there was the lake, and they were thirsty and hungry. They waded out into deepest part, washing off the mud, stirring up the sediment in the crystal water. It slaked their thirst, but the water was quite barren. There was no visible life at all, no swimming things, no scuttling things, not even any dead things to scavenge. Disappointed, they waded back to the shore. Col pointed to a white crystal that glittered in the single ray of sunlight from their tunnel. Suk picked it up. It was pretty, so he put it into his pouch. Then he knelt down to look more closely. There were some small shards of bone. Just by a neck bone something black lay coiled on the sand. Gingerly, he picked it up and rubbed it. It was a heavy cross and chain, made from moon metal, but tarnished now by age. Perhaps it would buff up. He stirred the bones around with his finger. “Something died here, Col.” Col stood back a little, surveying the shape of the sand. “It’s a mound. I think something is under the ground. Something of the Last Inhabitants?” They began to dig. What they found was a shrunken, mummified body and the shape of it didn’t belong on Earth. They stared at it with interest, and poked it, but it didn’t fall apart on exposure to the air. That might be worth a good price. They bundled it into their groundsheet and set off back to the city. When they showed the thing to Asha, at the city’s museum, he was more than interested, and he did indeed give them a good price, enough for a few pieces of the black stone that burns. The next day, Asha set about examining the find. It was a strange and alien thing, with sharp fangs, and the bony plates of its face gave it an angular, predatory look. He’d never seen anything like it. He measured and made notes, and did drawings. It was important for a scientist to have facts, he believed, and the more facts the better. And all the bones were here. Such good fortune. Despite the covering of parchment-thin skin, the mouth gaped open in death, as skulls usually did, but there was a shrivelled piece of tissue that might once have been a tongue. He poked a measuring stick down into the throat, but he must have been careless. His wrist scraped against one of the largest fangs, and blood ran down into the cavity. Quickly, he peered at the numbers to get the measurement, and then he pulled out the stick. With his kerchief, he dabbed at the spots of blood on the tongue, and wiped the stained fang. And then those fangs closed over his wrist, and try as he might, he couldn’t get it off him, and he cried out for help, but no one came, and then he had no strength in him to cry out at all. Weak and withered, the demon that had once been Angel slid off the table and hid in a cluttered corner until night fell. The food had been familiar, although he couldn’t name it. Not yet. It would take a lot more of these to rebuild his flesh after such a long fast. He wondered how long he had been underground, but only briefly. His thinking processes were slow, his only remaining instinct focused on the need to feed. When darkness fell, he pulled himself painfully down the stairway to the cellars. The scent of food was all around him. The scuttling little creatures were so free of fear that it took only a few days of hunting to clean them out. Now he had enough strength, enough shape, enough intellect, to venture outside. When he had finished in the cellars, his memory managed to supply the word he had forgotten. Rat. Out on the street, in stolen clothes that hung on him like a scarecrow, he began to explore. The buildings were timber, roughly gnawed at the ends. Very frontier. He was startled by a cart that rumbled past, drawn by four strong beasts. They weren’t horses, though, or anything that had come from horses. They were rats, giant rats, long-legged and muscular, as tall at the shoulder as he was. What was driving them wasn’t a human, either. That, too, was a rat, with no fur to speak of, two-legged, sharp-featured and sharp-toothed. His nostrils flared. Yes, definitely a rat. His sight and hearing were improving, but still poorer than they would be when he was well-fed again. His most basic hunting sense, though, was honed by starvation until it was razor sharp. Scent. He sniffed the air, the warm breeze carrying molecules from hundreds of miles away, or perhaps from thousands of miles, tenuous but real, like light from a distant star. Of the warm-blooded world, he could smell nothing but rats. Rats that were evolved, into all sorts of different shapes and sizes, but rats nonetheless. He must have slept for an unimaginably long time, time enough for the sole survivors of the cataclysm, the rats, to fill the gaps left by every other type of life-form. Walking, crawling, running, flying, they were all rats. Well, at least he knew that he could eat those. He might get sick of the taste, but they would keep him alive, in all their new shapes. Perhaps there were humans somewhere else on this world, with blood and hormones that were more to his taste. There was plenty of time for him to explore, when he was stronger. He thought of a blonde slayer, a girl who had once been an obsession of his, and who had put him in the grave, as she was perhaps always destined to do. If she had killed him, then he had killed her. When he had woken, there had been some faint residual scent of her death, in the eternal atmosphere of that cavern. Well, the world turns, and obsessions come and go. The time for this one was gone. Deep inside, something wailed, and sang a sad, mad song about redemption and a higher purpose. About a better life. About love. He laughed, and shuffled off to find a suitable lair where he could feed and fatten. And hunt. Humanity had been the sum of their hopes and dreams and nightmares. It seemed that rats were the new humanity. If they had hopes and dreams, then even rats ought to have some nightmares to spice the mix. He would be sure to provide them.	cc/2022-05/en_head_0037.json.gz/line10
__label__wiki	0.834151	0.834151	Star-studded Semi-Finals The stage is set for heroes to emerge as teams clash in Antwerp With the Hockey World League Semi-Finals in Antwerp just three weeks away, we look at some of the exciting action you can expect over the 10 day competition. And the great news from Antwerp is that this is the event that sees the launch of the partnership between Star Sports and FIH, so hockey fans everywhere will be able to take advantage of the advanced technology that Star Sports will be bringing to its coverage of all the hockey action in Antwerp. Antwerp is hosting both the Men’s and the Women’s Semi-Finals, and there will be an exciting mix of familiar faces and new stars emerging in the sport. The two-year Hockey World League cycle has offered some of the lower-ranked nations a tremendous opportunity to play at the highest level, and you can rest assured that these teams will have done their utmost to be competitive and take this chance for glory. Beginning with a look at the Men’s event, Australia would have to start as favourites for the top spot, but with India riding the crest of a wave of success under new coach Paul van Ass, and Pakistan seeking to regain their place at the top table of hockey, nothing is a certainty. Great Britain has made good progress in recent months, and Great Britain coach Bobby Crutchley was in determined mood when assessing his team’s chances against the world’s number one team: “Until 2010 an England or GB team hadn’t beaten Australia for 22 years. Last year we beat them twice (at the World League Final and Champions Trophy), however, they are still the best team around and were outstanding at the World Cup. We know we have to be at the top of our game but yes we feel we can beat them.” Likewise Belgium, whose form has not yet been rewarded with major medals. The Red Lions are hungry for success and will be viewing qualification for the World League Final and the Olympics as the minimum achievement in front of a home crowd. Talking about the competition format, Crutchley believes any team could enjoy their moment in the sun, but he backs Great Britain’s near neighbours to upset the form book. “The tournament is a great opportunity for the lower ranked teams to qualify for Rio. The quarter final format means that a good performance on a single day can be enough. All the teams could be a threat and I think Ireland, in particular, have shown they have the potential to play above their current World Ranking.” Belgium, Great Britain and Ireland all compete in Pool B and, with China and Malaysia making up the rest of that group, this is a Pool that is wide open. In Pool A , the world rankings would suggest a battle for the top places between Australia, India and Pakistan, but with so much resting on the quarter-final match, both Poland and France can be expected to play with the derring-do that could spring a surprise result. How will the Rules of Hockey change in 2022? It's more than purely about winning says hockey legend Marsha Cox Argentina tops the polls in FIH Best of 2021 fan vote It will be bigger and more exciting: Indian Men's Hockey Team Captain Manpreet Singh on the one-year countdown for the FIH Odisha Hockey Men’s World Cup 2023 Bhubaneswar - Rourkela	cc/2022-05/en_head_0037.json.gz/line13
__label__wiki	0.593587	0.593587	Embassy: Interactive, LLC The Revival: Interview with Skyzoo & Antman Wonder December 5, 2013 by embassyinteractivellc Leave a Comment Few people would argue against the significance of the debut, albeit classic, album “Reasonable Doubt” from the Brooklynite known as Jay-Z. The album flawlessly weaved stories centering around the life of a young hustler, telling clever stories with very witty wordplay and quotes with a soundscape provided by the likes of DJ Premier, Ski, Clark Kent and more. While the album was not initially a huge commercial success during its release, it would become the beginning stage of one of the most prolific careers in the music industry. Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn native Skyzoo is a much revered emcee leading the way for New York City Hip-Hop. Citing Jay-Z as one of his musical influences, Sky also has several critically acclaimed projects including “Corner Store Classic”, “The Salvation” and “A Dream Deferred” under his belt. Sky planned for a while to pay homage to Jay-Z’s much celebrated debut. The idea sat in his mind for a while, but Sky lacked music worthy enough to match the lyrics for his passion project. If you’ve been following Embassy: Interactive for a while, the name Antman Wonder should be familiar to you already. The Philly native producer is a constant feature on the site and was the subject for an interview I conducted back in May of this year. One of the talents that drew my attention was his reworks of the instrumentals to the songs “Bring It On” and “Coming Of Age” from the “Reasonable Doubt” album. The original music was replayed without the use of samples and then taken further than before through Wonder’s own creativity and vision. Skyzoo and Antman Wonder collaborated this Summer on the single “Sleeping Giant 2” from Wonder’s upcoming project “Century Gun”. The artistic chemistry was recognized immediately and while anyone with two ears could imagine them working together again on more songs, I don’t think anyone anticipated the two reconnecting for the tribute project “An Ode To Reasonable Doubt”. Skyzoo’s mission with the album is to tell his story inspired by the songs from the original album. This is certainly not an easy task even for an emcee of his caliber. In addition to this being the perfect opportunity for Sky to pay tribute to one of his musical influences, this is Antman Wonder’s medium to pay homage to one of his favorite producers, DJ Premier. This is also Wonder’s first fully produced project and he was given the freedom to fully express the scope of his musical talents by reworking the original productions and taking the samples they’re from possibly further than they ever have been imagined before. The first single from the album “Meeting The Presidents” for example takes Jay-Z’s original single “Dead Presidents” to previously unheard plane. I had the opportunity to get a little in depth with Wonder and Skyzoo to discuss how the two were connected, delve into the complexities of the album, the comparisons, pressure and some other fun. Enjoy! Before I begin, Ant I just wanted to let you know you’re the first person I’ve ever interviewed twice. I think I need to give you a prize or something. Antman Wonder: Y’do… I like hats. No doubt, I got you. So how did you guys meet and come up with the concept to pay respect to this album? Skyzoo: I met Ant via the web, like most people nowadays, but the connection started with my man !Ilmind. We were in the studio together and he put me on to some of Ant’s older work and he was going crazy about Ant, and once I heard some joints I understood the excitement. I then went online and Googled him and found his Soundcloud page, and once I heard the Jay-Z stuff, I knew it was meant to happen. It seemed as if it all lined up for a reason. AW: It’s funny, I actually started this project last year after I decided to re-do “Bring It On” by the great DJ Premier because he didn’t release the sample. It snowballed into more because Ivan Rivera (Justice League’s management) thought I should make it into an instrumental project. I just wrapped up “Memories Of The Fewture” (yet to be released) and I kinda drifted from it. I woke up to a random follow on twitter from Skyzoo and automatically knew it was for a reason. He hit me up and said !Ilmind put him on and he wanted to work. He heard some of the “Reasonable Doubt” stuff and as it turns he had the same idea about a year prior. It’s really intense to work on because I respect the original so much, but I’ve been a fan of Zoo’s for a while, so I agreed. What type of pressure did y’all individually feel to make sure this album was the perfect tribute? AW: From my standpoint the pressure falls more on me to feel satisfied with it personally because I’m altering something from my childhood by delving into the specifics of the compositions and production. It’s gonna change the way I hear “Reasonable Doubt” forever whether I like it or not. I’m not aiming for perfection, because in this case that’s a thing of opinion. I’m just giving my perspective on a classic. It’s pretty much “Reasonable Doubt meets my imagination”… My imperfections are what make it unique. SKY: For me lyrically, I had to make sure I kept Jay’s essence in it but also as always make sure my experiences and emotions were at the forefront. The idea was to treat every situation that he was in as if I were in it. What would go through my mind when dealing with the emotions he dealt with? How would I handle certain situations? For example, on “Coming Of Age”, Jay & Bleek went back and forth about Bleek getting into the drug game. On “Conversing On Coming Up”, which is our version, my approach was from the perspective of tryna get into the music industry. I broke my verse down into 3 parts: me admiring Jay as a young aspiring emcee, then me realizing I’ve become my own man and I’m seeing these dreams come to life, and finally me noticing another artist coming up admiring me, the same way I admired Jay. I then proceed to bring him along with me, like Jay did with Bleek on the original song. I wanted to represent the cycle. Sky, some people out there have made comments & comparisons likening this project to Elzhi’s “Elmatic”. How would you describe the difference between the two albums? SKY: Well it’s easy to see how comparisons will be made, which I’m fine with. Elzhi and I are both well respected lyricists, revered and heralded for our writing, and we both took on the tall task of recreating classic albums from 15+ years ago. When you do that, people are gonna expect a lot, which is also fine by me. The differences between the two are the approach production wise. Elzhi enlisted Will Sessions, who did a great job with playing the beats out as a full on live band. With Antman, he re-imagined the beats from an orchestral standpoint. Strings sections, horn sections, break downs, etc, are all there. Both approaches are great in their own way. Neither one was wrong. Apples and oranges. Ant are you prepared for the amount of work requests you’re gonna get flooded with once this album really settles in? AW: The work requests I get now are pretty hefty. I suck at keeping up with everybody. Colleagues have unfollowed me on Twitter and all. It’s hard to say no when so many talented people request your services. I’ll try to do better next year. Both of you guys are so skilled at your respective crafts that it’s kinda unfair to others. On the next collaboration between you two have you considered switching roles? Have Sky produce and Ant rapping lol? SKY: I wish I could produce, lol. I come up with drum patterns and hear samples and chop them up in my mind all the time, but I don’t know how to work those programs and machines. I’ve yet to take the time to learn them, so that’s what’s preventing me from making a beat. But one day I do plan on it. Ant will probably be the one teaching me how to do it. AW: I actually used to rap but I have a weird voice and hate my delivery. I rhymed before I got into music as a kid. I do still write sometimes just to keep a lyricist in mind while I’m producing. I’d throw together a verse over some Zoo-loops. ha. That’s his producer name now. Zoo-loops. Remember where you heard it first. Sky this is your third collaborative album having worked previously with 9th Wonder & !Ilmind on projects. It still may be too early to tell but which of these albums is the most meaningful for you personally? SKY: They all hold special places within me. I can’t say I like one more than the other. What I can say though is that, with me, I’m about constant elevation. I can say that lyrically “Live From The Tape Deck” is better than “Cloud 9”, and I can say that “AOTRD” is lyrically better than “LFTTD”. That doesn’t discredit either or, but it’s more so a testament to me growing daily, no matter how critically acclaimed a project is when it hits the people. LeBron is a better 3 point shooter this year than he was last year, simply because he shot jumpers all summer. It’s the same aesthetic. Speaking of LeBron and basketball, Skyzoo, dude, what’s up with the Knicks this season? Lol. SKY: Man, you know I’m Knickstape all day, so at the moment my heart is in shambles. It’s a sad day in NY right now but I always have faith in my Knicks. Somehow, someway, we’ll be alright. Ant have you been keeping up with the Sixers this year? AW: Sorta kinda. Mostly in hindsight. I keep up with sports like every other year… I have the attention span of a… Are there any plans to perform this album like The Writings Of Skyzoo show? SKY: I’d love to, but time is never on my side. Hopefully we can put something together in time, but only if it’s right. If not, I’d rather not do it. I never wanna jeopardize the music for an opportunity. What more can we expect from you guys going into next year individually and hopefully together again? SKY: Next up for me is a collabo album I’m doing with my homey and fellow lyricist Torae called “Barrel Brothers”. We’re looking at March 2014 for that, and then at the end of 2014 will hopefully be my next full length solo album “Music For My Friends”, which Ant already knows he has to be involved with. AW: Well hopefully people will care enough for me to drop an instrumental album. I have like 2 made as of right now that are collecting small mountains of dust. I’ll be doing production with some producers around the industry. I don’t want to name anybody because everything is so tentative and name dropping would just look stupid if it doesn’t happen. I’m gonna work with Sky on his album of course and some more local artists. Me and Add-2 gotta get back cookin’ as well. If all else fails I still have these dusty instrumental albums to drop.

This presentation shares the experiences of the presenter as she embarked in two volunteer, humanitarian missions. The first one in Lebanon, as a team of art therapists worked with Syrian refugee children and their mothers to assist in improving the quality of their lives. Themes of loss, imprisonment, death, violence, hope, resiliency, cultural and religious norms, strength, and courage emerged. The second one in Peru, where the presenter implemented arts therapeutic activities based on Carey McCarthy’s culturally adapted, school-based program implemented with low-income, impoverished, indigenous children in North America, and Linda Chapman’s Neurodevelopmental Art Therapy (NDAT) trauma treatment model. By participating in this presentation, attendees will be able to recognize protective factors crucial for working with children and families affected by traumatic events, identify cultural considerations when working outside of the United States, and learn about art therapy tasks and directives found effective when working with these populations. Specific art therapy interventions and artwork will be discussed to illustrate how children, mothers, and families narrated their stories through nonverbal creative approaches. Attendees will also engage in a brief art experiential and discussion.

Pain in the leg without apparent causes often begins in the waist region and goes to the buttocks, then spreads over the back of the thigh and reaches the lower leg, and even fingertips. Sometimes the pain can irradiate to the inner and anterior surface of the thighs, but still the first variant of the pain syndrome appears much more often. The most frequent cause is the spine problem but what if it's not then there is a possibility of thrombosis and other serious diseases. If it is a problem with the arteries or joints then there are special medications that can help to reduce all the manifestations. Cilostazol (commercial name Pletal), which reduces pain arising from intermittent claudication by expanding (dilating) arteries and forming collateral vessels during prolonged admission, thereby improving the flow of blood and oxygen to the legs. It facilitates walking and improves blood circulation of the legs due to the fact that this medication stimulates the multiplication of smooth muscle cells. But the biggest advantage is that it prevents the formation of blood clots. Pletal is used to increase the maximum distance of painless walking, provided there is no pain at rest, as well as signs of tissue necrosis. It is one of the main medicines for the treatment of lower limb arteries in combination with drugs that improve blood flow and reduce the risk of blood clots. To expect a result from this drug you should after 16 weeks of therapy, but if after half a year you do not see visible results, you need to see a doctor to review the course of treatment. Although the mechanism of its action is not entirely clear, but the fact that it improves peripheral blood flow is shown reliably. Pletal side effects are associated with cardiac dysfunction. Now, chronic heart failure is considered a contraindication. And this severely limits its use in patients with ischemia of the lower extremities: there are many cores among them, atherosclerosis is a systemic phenomenon. Often a well-known disease like diabetes gives complications to the feet. Approximately 25-35% of people with diabetes have leg problems during their lifetime. The probability of their appearance increases with age. Diseases of the feet with diabetes bring a lot of trouble to doctors and patients, but unfortunately, there is still no simple solution to this problem, but it is quite possible to reduce pain with the help of Pletal. Currently, along with Pentoxifylline for the treatment of patients with obliterating atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities is recommended Pletal. Its comparison with Pentoxifylline showed that the use of the latter to a greater extent contributes to increasing the distance of painless walking. At the same time, the quality of life of patients practically did not change. It more often causes side effects like: headache, palpitations, and gastrointestinal disorders. Taking into account the accumulated experience, patients are recommended first to take Pentoxifylline, and then with its good tolerability Pletal. Also this drug is used in other cases. The antiplatelet drug Pletal, which is commonly used for treating peripheral arterial atherosclerosis, provides sufficient clinical protection in patients after stenting who have to discontinue the use of dual antiplatelet therapy (the combination of Clopidogrel with acetylsalicylic acid is widely used in patients with atherosclerosis to prevent arterial thrombosis after implantation of intravascular endoprostheses (stents) and in the post-infarction period) because of emergency surgical intervention. Also is positive an 8-year experience of using drug outside the recorded indications as a temporary therapy in the perioperative period in patients with paclitaxel-releasing stents who have to interrupt DAT. Their results showed that against the background of taking ad-valent doses of Pletal and the resumption of DAT within 48 hours after the operation, the patients did not have undesirable cardiac events. Typically, medications were canceled 8 days before surgery, and the next day thereafter, drug was taken at a dose of 100 mg twice a day. In the case of operations with a low or moderate risk of bleeding, medication was discontinued 24-30 hours before surgery, and DAT was resumed 12-24 hours after the intervention. In 171 out of 183 patients who had this scheme fully complied with, there were no undesirable events at all. Even in cases where the Pletal dose was lowered due to tolerability problems or more was taken for more than a brief period before surgery, a combined intake of more than 500 mg of the drug provided no clinical events. But still, its main advantage is that it removes pain in the legs, which allows the patient to walk fully, and also beneficially affect the improvement of blood flow in the lower limbs. That is why it is worth to try it if you have one of the symptoms that can be treated by Pletal and if you want to buy it then before that you should read all the Best Online Pharmacy Reviews.

This week, a senior defense official said that a reorganization was coming to the Defense Intelligence Agency with the creation of the Defense Clandestine Service. The new service will expand the agency’s espionage operation beyond war zones and step up its engagement in human intelligence — an arena dominated for years by the Central Intelligence Agency. Matthew Hay Brown, The Baltimore Sun’s military affairs reporter, writes “that the officers — some military, some civilian — will work alongside CIA counterparts in places such as Africa, where al-Qaida has grown more active, and Asia, where Chinese military expansion and North Korean and Iranian weapons ambitions are drawing increasing U.S. concern.” Here’s a look at some hotspots that the Pentagon’s new spy agency will likely keep an eye on. We’ll continue to look at intelligence and military trends in upcoming posts on The Darkroom. NORTH KOREA — The Defense Department has noted that North Korea’s missile and nuclear program poses a threat to the security and stability in Asia. “North Korea’s leadership is emphasizing policy continuity under Kim Jong-un, which DIA anticipates will include continued pursuit of nuclear and missile capabilities for strategic deterrence and international prestige, as well as to gain economic and political concessions,” said Defense Intelligence Agency Director Ronald L. Burgess in his testimony to Congress on Feb. 16, 2012.

(KNS/AFP/Getty Images) IRAN — The Defense Department has noted that Iran remains a threat to U.S. interests. “Tehran poses a threat to U.S. interests through its regional ambitions, support to terrorist and militant groups, and improving military and nuclear capabilities,” said Defense Intelligence Agency Director Ronald L. Burgess in his Feb. 16, 2012 testimony to Congress. “Iran also continues efforts to gain regional power by countering Western influence, expanding ties with its neighbors, and advocating Islamic solidarity while supporting and arming groups in Afghanistan, Iraq, and the Levant.” (Handout/AFP/Getty Images) Iran’s chief nuclear negotiator Said Jalili reacts during a news conference on April 14, 2012 as Iran and six world powers open talks on Tehran’s disputed nuclear program in Istanbul.

(Dieter Nagl/AFP/Getty Images) CHINA — The Defense Department continues to monitor China’s military expansion and modernization as well as its growth in intelligence collection. “DIA estimates China spent as much as $183 billion on military-related goods and services in 2011, compared to the $93 billion Beijing reported in its official military budget,” said Defense Intelligence Agency Director Ronald L. Burgess in his testimony to Congress on Feb. 16, 2012. (Mark Ralston/AFP/Getty Images) Chinese Paramilitary soldiers train outside their barracks in Beijing on March 19, 2012.

(Ted Aljibe/AFP/Getty Images) REGIONS IN AFRICA — Recent reports indicate that a surge in Islamist violence has shifted to Africa in countries like Somalia, Nigeria, and Mali, where several militant groups have allied themselves with al-Qaida and adopted radical Islamic ideologies. These groups include the Al-Shabaab, Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, and Boko Haram, which have all publicly voiced their intention to target Westerners, including the United States, and disrupt peace-keeping efforts in countries where they are based. (Stuart Price/AFP/Getty Images) AL- SHABAAB: Based in southern Somalia, Al-Shabaab is a so-called “clan-based insurgent and terrorist group,” which began as the militant wing of the Somali Council of Islamic Courts in 2006. That year the group took over much of the southern region before being defeated in January 2007. Since then, the group has claimed an affiliation with al-Qaida. According to the National Counterterrorism Center, “the group has exerted temporary and, at times, sustained control over strategic locations in southern and central Somalia by recruiting, sometimes forcibly, regional sub-clans and their militias, using guerrilla asymmetrical warfare and terrorist tactics against the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia and its allies, African Union peacekeepers, and nongovernmental aid organizations.” Above, is a photo of militants belonging to the Al-Shabaab during a show of force in Somalia’s capital Mogadishu on Oct. 21, 2010.

(Mohamed Abdiwahab/AFP/Getty Images) BOKO HARAM: Boko Haram is a Nigerian-based group whose objective is to overthrow the country’s government and replace it with an Islamic institution. Most recently as of August 2011, the group took responsibility for a vehicle-bomb attack on UN offices in the Nigerian capital of Abuja. According to the National Counterterrorism Center, the attack “marked the group’s first lethal operation against Western interests.” The Center also reported hat “a purported Boko Haram spokesman claimed responsibility for the attack and promised future targeting of US and Nigerian Government interests.” Above, is a file photo of a screen grab made on October 21, 2010, from a video allegedly showing members of the Nigerian Islamist group Boko Haram in northern Nigeria. (HO/AFP/Getty Images) BOKO HARAM: A victim of a bomb blast, which ripped through the UN offices in Abuja, is loaded into an ambulance on August 26, 2011, after a car rammed into the building. The attack drew global attention to Boko Haram, the militant group from northern Nigeria, which claimed responsibility for the attack and a string of later bombings that killed hundreds. As the bombings have grown in frequency in recent months, the Nigerian government and Western security officials have begun to grapple with the exact nature of the threat. (Afolabi Sotunde/Reuters) BOKO HARAM: Security officials assess the scene of a bomb blast on April 8, 2012 in Nigeria’s northern city of Kaduna. Suspected members of Nigerian Islamist sect Boko Haram have killed four people and a large undetonated bomb was found in Kano on Monday, authorities said, a day after at least 36 people were killed in a car bomb near a church in northern Kaduna. (Stringer/Reuters) AQIM: Al-Qaida in the Lands of the Islamic Maghreb is an Algerian-based group focused on overthrowing the Algerian government. It has a formal affiliation with Al-Qaida and has publicly announced its intention to attack Western targets. According to the National Counterterrorism Center, the group “employs conventional terrorist tactics, including guerrilla-style ambushes and mortar, rocket, and IED attacks” and suicide bombings. Above, is a photo that apparently shows Al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) chief Abou Moussab speaking at an unknown location.

__label__wiki	0.662701	0.662701	Home » Childhood How does a Rebbe come into being? What is the source of his supernatural abilities, his spiritual power, his faculty for making critical decisions and guiding others? An exhaustive answer to these and similar questions lies beyond human capacity. Some people are gifted with exceptional genius. Some young men, raised and educated in their parents' home, possess outstanding spiritual qualities. However, these factors are clearly not sufficient to form a Rebbe. Numerous Torah scholars immerse themselves in the depths of the halachah, yet at most influence a narrow circle of pupils and close friends. A Rebbe must possess a greatness that defies all imagination, a spirit whose power sweeps away every obstacle. Most importantly, a Rebbe must possess boundless love for every Jew. This love spreads from heart to heart; it knows no boundaries or limitations; it is unconditional, beyond calculation; it is akin to the love of a father for his son, yet multiplied a hundredfold. No one has been able to describe the precise mechanism of the Lubavitcher Rebbe's influence, to capture the enigmatic essence of his personality, the unique qualities that raise him to usually unattainable heights. Despite our attempts to analyze the elements that make up the extraordinary image of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Mendel Schneerson, we do not presume to have exhaustive or accurate answers. Can it be that when he was born, on the 11th of Nisan, 5662 (1902), there were people in Nikolaev who foresaw the great future in store for the newborn baby? Is it conceivable that even then, someone's inner vision foretold that the baby was destined to become the leader of the entire Jewish people? Those accustomed to relying exclusively on their rational mind will dismiss the idea as preposterous, yet it is true. On the day of the birth, Rebbe Shalom Dov Ber sent no less than six (!) telegrams containing detailed inquiries and instructions concerning the baby. Following these instructions, his mother, Rebbetzin Chana, washed her own and the baby's hands prior to each feeding. Thus from the moment of his birth, the Rebbe did not eat a single meal without washing his hands. Even the most religious families usually teach their children to observe this commandment only from the age of three. The circumcision ceremony was held during the Pesach holiday. The boy was named Menachem Mendel, after his great, great, great-grandfather, the Tzemach Tzedek. The day of the circumcision was the baby's father, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak's twenty-fourth birthday. During the festive meal following the ceremony, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak, a great expert in the Kabbalah, talked about the significant connection between birthday and circumcision, according to the teachings of the Kabbalah. By the age of two, Menachem Mendel was already able to ask the four traditional questions during the Pesach Seder. Six months later, he could pray as fluently as an adult. Once, when Jews had gathered in his father's house for the evening prayer, Menachem Mendel, then two and a half, jumped out of his little bed in the next room and joined them in prayer. The Rebbetzin, afraid of the evil eye, carried the boy back. When the child turned three, he was brought to a cheder, as was the custom. A group of three-year-old boys sat around the table at the home of the melamed, who was teaching them the Hebrew alphabet and other Torah basics that lie within the grasp of a three-year-old child. Menachem Mendel's melamed, Rabbi Zalman Vilenkin, quickly saw that the boy had nothing to learn at the cheder, and began to give him private lessons. (Many years later, Rabbi Zalman Vilenkin managed to flee the Soviet Union and visited the Rebbe, who treated his former teacher with the utmost respect and honor, as prescribed by halachah.) The failed Russian revolution of 1905 sparked a wave of anti-Jewish pogroms. When Menachem Mendel was four and a half, one such pogrom took place in Nikolaev, where his family was living. The Jews looked for any hiding place. Once such shelter, which Menachem Mendel's family shared with others, was filled with babies and small children. They were wailing in fright, creating a dangerous threat of discovery. It was young Mendel, little more than a toddler himself, who immediately grasped the gravity of the situation and started going from baby to baby, calming them with a soothing word, a soft hand, or a candy. He continued doing this until the danger passed. When Menachem Mendel was five, the Schneerson family moved to Yekaterinoslav, now Dnepropetrovsk, where his father was appointed Chief Rabbi of the city. The anti-Jewish riots had not yet abated. The Yekaterinoslav community, among the largest and most prominent communities in the Ukraine, needed and found in Rabbi Levi Yitzchak a leader of the highest caliber. The rabbi had a spacious house. Directly off the entrance there was a large hall, where the Chassidim would gather for lessons and prayers. Here they sat for many hours around a long table, listening to the words of their rabbi. Adjacent to the large hall were the rooms of the three sons Menachem Mendel and his two younger brothers, Dov Ber and Israel Aryeh Leib. (Rabbi Dov Ber was murdered by the Nazis in Europe in 1944; Rabbi Israel Aryeh Leib, an outstanding mathematician, settled in Israel, married and had a daughter; later the family moved to London, where he taught mathematics at a university; he passed away suddenly in 1952.) Each brother had in his room a complete set of the Talmud. At that time, this was highly uncommon; the Talmud was very expensive. Word of the extraordinary abilities, diligence and perseverance of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson's three sons spread through Yekaterinoslav. The eldest son was recognized as the most capable of the three, yet his two brothers did not lag far behind. It was obvious to everyone that a regular yeshiva had nothing to teach them. They studied the Torah on their own, under their father's guidance; in addition, they learned the secular sciences with the help of private tutors. (One of these tutors was Israel Ben Yehuda, who became Israel's minister of internal affairs many years later.) Before long, it became clear that the private tutors also had nothing more to teach the children; their students had surpassed them in knowledge. Thus the Schneerson brothers taught themselves. Naturally, they emphasized learning the Torah, but they also studied philosophy, mathematics, languages, physics, and social sciences. Menachem Mendel was particularly interested in astronomy. The boys were both persistent and enthusiastic in their studies. They spent countless hours learning, from early morning to late night. Menachem Mendel differed from his brothers and other children. He had no spare time left for socializing with friends; even in his early childhood, no one ever saw him playing children's games or making mischief. He was always focused, serious and taciturn like an adult, even though his house was filled with events and commotion. After all, this was the home of the city's chief rabbi, a home open to everyone, where guests were always assured of a warm and loving welcome. Yet, even in the midst of all the noise and commotion, Menachem Mendel was able to devote his full attention to his studies. There are numerous eyewitness accounts of his extraordinary abilities, which indicated a great future even then. Once, when still quite young, the boy and his mother, Rebbetzin Chana, went for a walk along the river embankment. Suddenly the weather changed; a strong wind began to blow and large waves rolled in. The Rebbetzin realized that her son was gone. She began to look for him, and noticed that a crowd of people had gathered nearby. Coming closer, she saw a boy of about four in the center of the crowd, frightened and soaked from head to toe. The boy's mother was saying in a voice choked with emotion, "My child fell into the water and almost drowned. Then an older boy - I've never seen him before - jumped in without a moment's hesitation and saved my child!" Before the Rebbetzin had time to feel alarmed, she saw nine-year-old Menachem Mendel coming back, soaking wet and silent. By the age of twelve, Menachem Mendel was already part of the inner circle of his Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak. Once the Rebbe had a visit from Professor Barchenko, a prominent Russian scientist. He told the Rebbe that he had heard about certain mysterious powers associated with the Star of David, and that he wished to learn about the secrets of this Jewish symbol. "Let me ask my 'education minister,'" said the Rebbe. He summoned Menachem Mendel and asked him to inquire into the subject of the Star of David from the standpoints of Kabbalah and contemporary science. Three months later, Menachem Mendel presented the Rebbe with a thick notebook containing the results of his research. Naturally, all the work had been done as if incidentally, with minimal expenditure of time and effort. His main occupation remained the study of Torah. Menachem Mendel was twelve years old when the First World War broke out. The war sent floods of refugees streaming from Poland into the interior of Russia. Many arrived in Yekaterinoslav; some of them found refuge in the rabbi's home. The house was in turmoil, yet Menachem Mendel continued to behave as if nothing out of the ordinary was happening. All the commotion stopped at the door to his room. Nothing could distract him from his studies. Frequently his father joined him in study sessions that went on until dawn. After that, the boy would snatch an hour or two of sleep before resuming his studies. His entire being was devoted to mastering the Torah, the Talmud, and Chassidic teachings. By the time he reached bar mitzvah age, he knew the entire Talmud by heart - complete with Rashi's commentaries. Somewhere along the way, he had also mastered the secular sciences. What an ordinary, even highly gifted student required two or three months to learn, Menachem Mendel learned in a day or two. According to some accounts, during a stay at the Petersburg home of his relative, Rabbi Gur Aryeh, Menachem Mendel paid several visits to the famous Pulkovsky astronomical observatory. When Menachem Mendel was sixteen, he told Yeshayahu Sher, one of the young men who frequented the rabbi's home that, according to his calculations, a solar eclipse was to take place at a certain hour on the afternoon of February 25th of that year. (This man, rather advanced in years, presently resides in Rechovot, Israel; he related this story and the next.) Rumors of this prediction spread through the city. Everyone knew that the word of Menachem Mendel could be trusted. Many inquisitive people prepared pieces of tinted glass in order to observe this fairly infrequent phenomenon. The designated day arrived. As the specified hour drew near, everyone took up his observation post - yet the sun continued to shine as before. The disappointed would-be astronomers went home. Next day, Yeshayahu came to Schneerson's home. "There was no solar eclipse yesterday," he pointed out cautiously. "Oh yes there was!" replied Menachem Mendel. "Look, we all stood there and watched the sun, but it remained as full and round as always." "And I am telling you," parried Menachem Mendel with absolute conviction, "that there was a solar eclipse. My calculations are totally accurate and irrefutable!" A few days later everyone knew what had happened. The next issue of the Niva magazine ran a long article about the recent solar eclipse. The article mentioned the scientific centers in various areas of the country that had observed the eclipse; all the areas were far removed from Yekaterinoslav. Several weeks later, Yeshayahu visited the Schneersons again. At the time, he was studying mathematics with an engineer by the name of Ostrovsky. Once he told his teacher about the extraordinary mathematical gifts of the Schneerson brothers. "Let's do an experiment," proposed Ostrovsky. "Here is an equation. If these friends of yours manage to solve it, I will publicize the fact in university circles." Yeshayahu took the piece of paper with the equation to the Schneerson brothers. All three armed themselves with pencils and paper and sat down to work. Several hours later all three had solved the problem. Yeshayahu rushed to the engineer, who could not believe his eyes. All three solutions were correct, but Menachem Mendel had arrived at his in the shortest and most elegant fashion. That same year, the dean of mathematics at the city's recently founded university paid the Schneersons a visit. Having heard about Menachem Mendel's genius, he presented the boy with a mathematical problem, giving him three days to solve it. Before leaving, the dean stopped to talk with the rabbi. Half an hour later, Menachem Mendel handed the solved problem to the astounded dean. He was certain that the boy was playing some kind of a joke on him; nevertheless, he stuck the piece of paper into his pocket. At two in the morning, the rabbi's telephone rang. It was the dean. "I cannot believe my eyes," he said in a voice filled with disbelief. "The solution is correct! An experienced professional mathematician would take at least three days to solve this problem. Your son did it in thirty minutes. I simply could not force myself to wait until morning. I am calling at this late hour to express my admiration." Menachem Mendel mastered English, Italian, German, French, and a number of other languages on his own. Once he decided to learn a language, he would arm himself with dictionaries and grammar textbooks, emerging some three weeks later with knowledge of the language. During the First World War, an epidemic of typhoid fever broke out in Europe, claiming countless victims. The dread of contagion was so great that many of the sick were abandoned to face their fate alone. Eventually, the epidemic reached Yekaterinoslav. The city was gripped by fear. Young Menachem Mendel, who had spent almost all his life pouring over books, avoiding friends or anything that could disrupt his studies, decided that circumstances demanded that he put a temporary halt to learning. Instead, he resolved to help the sick, undeterred by all the exhortations and warnings. His love for human beings did not permit him to stand idly by and watch his fellow humans die. Day after day, he visited the homes of sick Jews, bringing medicines to some, food to others, or simply sitting by the bedside of a sick man, listening to his sighs. With patients learned in the Torah, he discussed its teachings. He spent days and nights in this way, until he himself became infected. Though confined to bed, burning with fever, his life in danger, he continued to utter words of wisdom from the Zohar. His body was bedridden, but his spirit was soaring high through heavenly spheres, all the way to the highest spiritual realm, called Atzilut. Listening closely to his words, one could perceive that even in his delirium he was talking about the purpose of creation, the role of mankind, and many other sublime topics. The crisis passed, and Menachem Mendel began to recover. Throughout the entire period until he was fully recovered, he continued to recite Torah from memory. The young man was obviously brilliant. The only one who remained unimpressed by his absolutely phenomenal abilities was Menachem Mendel himself. He was reserved, taciturn and shy, shunning society. The only day of the year when he let his emotional guard down was the holiday of Simchat Torah. Then his unfettered joy infected all around him. With closed eyes, as if transported by the melody, he would sing the tunes of the Alter Rebbe and other Chassidic leaders. In the intimate circle of Chassidim, holding the Torah scrolls, he would lose himself in an ecstatic, endless dance that lasted until he was totally exhausted. At those times, he could hardly be recognized as the bashful, retiring youth who spent his entire time in study.	cc/2022-05/en_head_0037.json.gz/line33
__label__wiki	0.598125	0.598125	Home » A Lesson in Health A Lesson in Health Every year on the festival of Sukkot, the Rebbe staged the celebration of Simchat Beit Ha'Shoevah - the Rejoicing of the Drawing of Water. (During the Temple Period, Jews would pour water on the altar on Sukkot, instead of the wine used during the rest of the year. The drawing of the water to be used in this ritual was accompanied by great rejoicing. It says in the Talmud that one who never witnessed a Simchat beit ha'shoevah never knew real joy. Chassidic teachings draw a profound philosophic parallel between the water libations and the accompanying intense joy.) Each night during the eight-day celebration, the Rebbe delivers a discourse that lasts for an hour or two, followed by rejoicing and dancing in the streets. Right after Sukkot, on Shemini Atzeret, hakafot - processions with Torah scrolls - are held at "Seven-Seventy." On Sukkot in 5738 (1977), the Rebbe danced as never before. Truly, those who did not witness that night's festivities at the Rebbe's synagogue have never seen what real rejoicing is like! The Rebbe was happy, dancing joyfully with ecstatic abandon. Despite his seventy-five years, the Rebbe was as energetic as a young man. "Seven-Seventy" was filled to overflowing. Thousands of Chassidim were dancing together, their feet moving of their own volition, their eyes shining. The dancing and the singing went on for hours. The Rebbe was focused, in full control of his every step, but his face wore an expression of total bliss - the joy of Torah. Suddenly the Rebbe's face turned pale. He stopped and slowly lowered himself into a chair. The hearts of the Chassidim skipped a beat; this had never happened before. The Rebbe had never stopped during the hakafot. Everyone's eyes were on the Rebbe. Something was amiss. A whisper passed through the crowd, "Is there a doctor here?" Several doctors rushed toward the Rebbe. They examined him and found nothing. Still, something was wrong. He was urged to go upstairs to his room and rest a while. The Rebbe absolutely refused to leave at the height of the hakafot. Out of the question. The hakafot continued, but the initial joy was gone. The Chassidim were petrified by the thought that the Rebbe might be unwell. The festive mood had been marred by anxiety. The last hakafah came to an end. The Rebbe rose and walked to his private sukkah adjacent to his office with slow, measured steps. On the way, he instructed the guests, "Do not stop the festivities! Keep dancing!" He entered his sukkah, made kiddush, then settled in his office. Meanwhile, downstairs, the Chassidim went on dancing. Their vigorous singing shook the walls. Yet in the midst of all this revelry, the people's hearts were gripped by fear. The Rebbe's secretaries were already on the phone, calling the best cardiologists in New York. In the middle of the night the doctors, armed with advanced medical equipment, hurried to "Seven-Seventy." Four doctors examined the Rebbe thoroughly. The Rebbe took an active part in the doctors' discussion, amazing them with his knowledge of cardiology. They could not understand how someone who had never studied medicine could have such deep insight into the intricacies of cardiac function. The examination revealed that the Rebbe had suffered a serious heart attack. His condition was extremely grave. "Did the Rebbe moan with pain?" inquired one of the doctors. "The Rebbe did not utter a sound," replied the secretary. "That's impossible," said the doctor in disbelief. "He did not cry out, or twist in pain?" "All the Rebbe did was sit down in a chair," replied the secretary. "No one heard him complain or moan." "I have to tell you," explained the doctor, "that the Rebbe has gone through agony. The pain is more than anyone can bear. In all my years of experience, I have never seen a patient react to a heart attack in such a manner. This is incredible," muttered the doctor. "I have never seen anything like it." The doctors decided to inject the Rebbe with a painkiller, but when they asked for the Rebbe's consent, he refused. "There is no need," he said. One of the Chassidim present indignantly confronted the doctor: "Don't you understand that by phrasing the question in that way, you are forcing the Rebbe to answer in the negative? Today is a holiday, and Jewish law stipulates that on a holiday, an injection may be administered only on doctor's orders!" The doctor, realizing his mistake, turned back to the Rebbe. "Esteemed Rebbe! In my capacity as your physician, I must insist on an injection. This is absolutely essential. Pains of this magnitude can be life threatening." The Rebbe immediately gave his consent. In the meantime, the doctors had decided that the Rebbe must go to the hospital immediately. His condition was serious, requiring proper equipment and special care. The Rebbe's voice sounded weaker than usual, but his answer was firm: "I am not going anywhere. I am staying here." A tense silence fell in the room. One of the doctors appealed to the Rebbe, "Your condition is very dangerous, and you know it. After all, you have demonstrated an excellent knowledge of medicine. This place is not equipped to provide you with the necessary treatment. By remaining here, you endanger your life - that is as clear as day. Only a hospital has everything needed to treat a patient in your condition. Moreover, experienced doctors will be constantly on hand to render their assistance if necessary. You should not remain here under any circumstances. We insist on immediate hospitalization." "I am not leaving," the Rebbe repeated. "I am staying right here." A second doctor tried to reason with the Rebbe, to no avail. The Rebbe had made his decision, and nothing could change it. After a hushed consultation, one of the doctors finally said, "If you do not consent to be hospitalized, we will leave at once and decline any responsibility for the consequences. As experienced specialists, we must warn you that you are putting your life at risk. If you refuse to go to the hospital, we cannot assume responsibility for your life!" At two a.m., the doctors packed up and left. Mere hours after his massive heart attack, the Rebbe was left without medical supervision or treatment. The Rebbe's secretaries and a number of Chassidim set about bringing medical supplies from the Jewish hospital in Brooklyn to "Seven-Seventy." One of the doctors on the hospital staff helped them find everything necessary. Within an hour, the Rebbe's office was transformed into a hospital room, complete with the most up-to-date medical gadgetry. The same doctor connected the Rebbe to the equipment and remained at his side. At five in the morning, he was shocked to discover that the Rebbe had suffered another heart attack. The dismayed secretaries began to lose their self-control. They themselves were on the verge of heart attacks. Everyone realized that the Rebbe must be provided with the best medical care possible. What were they to do? After spending a sleepless night at the Rebbe's bedside, everyone had the same question: "What now?" Then, at about six a.m., one of the secretaries exclaimed suddenly, "Doctor Weiss! Doctor Weiss from Chicago! He is just what we need!" Doctor Weiss, a cardiologist, was one of the countless Jews who had joined the Chabad movement, and had even visited "Seven-Seventy." While still a young man, he had made a name for himself as a promising, gifted cardiologist. The secretary lost no time in calling Dr. Weiss. At first, the doctor was taken aback - it was a holiday, and making telephone calls on a holiday is permitted only in life and death cases. As soon as he was told about the situation, he curtly said he would be on the next flight to New York, and hung up. Several hours later, Dr. Weiss was standing at the Rebbe's bedside. After examining the Rebbe, he decreed. "It is difficult to treat the patient under these conditions. Difficult, but not impossible. I will stay here as long as necessary, and I will take care of the Rebbe until he recovers." The Chassidim began the morning prayers. By then, everyone knew that the Rebbe had suffered a severe heart attack, but his instructions had been to continue the hakafot, performing the mitzvah of holiday rejoicing. How could they celebrate when the Rebbe was in such grave danger? At the same time, a minyan gathered in the Rebbe's room. The Rebbe recited his prayers while lying in bed; he then read the haftarah. The next morning, the Rebbe was already sitting up as he prayed. All through the second day, the Chassidim were ill at ease. The holiday was drawing to a close. Until then, the Rebbe had never missed leading a farbrengen at the end of Simchat Torah. Then a rumor began to circulate: the Rebbe was going to lead the farbrengen by microphone! The people could not believe their ears! A mere forty-eight hours ago, the Rebbe had suffered a massive heart attack! How could he possibly be well enough to talk, let alone deliver a discourse on Torah? Yet that is exactly what happened. In the blink of an eye, speakers were set up in the synagogue, and thousands of Chassidim listened to the Rebbe expound on Torah and Chassidism, as he always had at the end of Simchat Torah. Dr. Weiss had given the Rebbe permission to speak for only five minutes, but the Rebbe spoke for close to half an hour. No words can describe the emotions that filled the hearts of the Chassidim, and the spiritual elation that took hold of their souls! Could any doctor find a rational explanation for the medical miracle that had just taken place? That same evening, after the festival, the Rebbe began to sort through his mail. Hundreds of letters had accumulated in the office during the two-day festival. Even though the Rebbe still felt weak from the heart attack, he knew that somewhere in the far corners of the earth Jews were waiting impatiently for his reply, and neither his heart nor his physical condition would prevent him from addressing their need. The secretary made a cautious attempt to stop him. "Perhaps the Rebbe should put the letters aside until he feels stronger?" "Is a Jew who wrote to me today less in need of help than someone who writes tomorrow?" replied the Rebbe. Usually, the Rebbe would receive the guests who had come to visit him for the holiday. This time too the Rebbe did not deviate from the tradition. Seated in his chair, with infusion tubes and monitor wires attached to his body, he welcomed the guests as they filed past him, and blessed them, "Shalom Aleichem, Peace be with you!" Many of the visitors could not stop themselves from crying. The Rebbe spent three weeks confined to his room at "Seven-Seventy," but he did not stop working all that time. He conducted weekly farbrengens that were broadcast on the radio. Dr. Weiss did not leave his side the whole time, watching over him day and night. In spite of the fact that the phone was ringing off the hook, urging him to come back to Chicago, Dr. Weiss cancelled all his operations, meetings and lectures. "I am not moving until the Rebbe has recovered." And the Rebbe did recover! After five weeks, during which the Rebbe worked at full intensity, he was finally able to resume his normal routine, except for one change: he stopped giving private audiences. This was not only due to the heart attack; the number of people asking for yechidut had grown to the point where it became impossible to receive them all. For that reason, the Rebbe discontinued the practice altogether, replacing it with the distribution of dollars for charity. The Rebbe exhibited the same optimism and sense of humor concerning his health as he did about other subjects. When a doctor pointed out that heart attacks recur in twenty-five percent of the cases, he remarked, "Why not stress the point that in seventy-five percent of the cases, the heart attacks do not recur?"	cc/2022-05/en_head_0037.json.gz/line34
__label__cc	0.682649	0.317351	The interchange project includes the conversion of the existing partial interchange at IL 59 and I-55 to a full access diverging diamond interchange also known as a DDI. A DDI is a double cross over diamond. The diamond shaped configuration allows for two directions of traffic on a bridge to cross to the opposite side of the bridge. The benefits of this type of interchange include improved safety and operations. This project provides connections for pedestrians and bicyclists over I-55 to IL 59 and new auxiliary lanes between IL 59 and US 52 to improve congestion and safety for vehicles entering and exiting the roadway. Preliminary engineering and environmental studies (Phase I) for the interchange project were completed in May 2019. The project has moved on to the next implementation phase, contract plan preparation and land acquisition (Phase II). This improvement is included in the Department’s Fiscal Year (FY) 2022-2027 Proposed Highway Improvement Program. Current engineering efforts are targeted to enable a contract letting in the early years of the multiyear program contingent upon plan readiness, land acquisition, and funding availability through future legislative appropriations. The I-55 from I-80 to US 52 study evaluated traffic noise impacts and recommended that potential noise walls be implemented along I-55 within the project study limits. Property owners and tenants that would achieve a benefit from these walls had an opportunity to vote on whether or not the noise walls should be installed. The voting form was mailed to those benefitted by the proposed walls on March 4, 2020 and June 11, 2020. Voting responses were due by July 10, 2020 but the voting period was extended for two additional weeks through July 24, 2020 because of delays in processing and receiving votes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Voting results show that both walls were supported. Therefore, the two noise walls along I-55 have been recommended for implementation. The approximate locations of the walls are shown in the Noise Wall Voting Results diagram below. The I-55 from I-80 to US 52 Traffic Noise Analysis Report is available here.

__label__wiki	0.667218	0.667218	Ilvy Friebe One of the greatest distance runners in League history is teaching at the University of Minnesota Medical School, where among his students is one of the League's greatest field hockey players — Princeton's Ilvy Friebe. Ilvy Friebe is now a third-year medical student at the University of Minnesota, where one of her instructors is fellow Ivy@50 profilee Bob Kempainen. Friebe describes Kempainen as "one of the most loved professors here." She is aware of his well-known ability to excel in several things at the same time and adds, "He continues to do everything so well." Like Kempainen, Friebe had ties to Minnesota. He grew up there, her grandparents are both alumni. She, however, grew up in Germany, with a German father and an American mother. When Friebe was in the 11th year of a 13-year gymnasium program, her mother contacted Princeton Coach Beth Bozman. Friebe then attended a summer field hockey camp and "fell in love with the campus and the field hockey program." She adds, "It was the best undergraduate institution and a top-10 field hockey program. The best of both worlds." Since she was admitted to Princeton, Friebe left her school after the 12th year. If she hadn't gone to Princeton, she probably would have completed her final year and headed to a German university. Her feelings about Princeton are "only positive. It was such a wonderful place to go to college. I'd do it again in a heartbeat." She is glad she didn't attend a German university because she would have had to immediately start medical school, where there would have been neither sports nor student life. She explains, "I always knew I wanted to go to medical school, but I wanted a chance to live and enjoy the college experience first. It gives you a broader education before you do what you are going to do." Friebe started playing field hockey when she was five. She always had fun playing, even when she got serious about the sport. She says, "It all just sort of fell into place" as she progressed through local and regional teams and on to national camps. Early in her Princeton career Friebe had some difficulty changing from the German finesse and skills game, to the Anmerican game, which she describes as more of a physical, running game. She played all four years, going to the NCAA Final Four her junior year. After the initial adjustment period, the honors came in. Friebe was the Ivy League Player of the Year in 2001 and 2002, earning two NFHCA first-team All-America selections and Honda Award nominations. Friebe played on the under 21 and under 23 U.S. National teams from her sophomore year, including a trip to the Junior World Cup in Argentina. She enjoyed the rivalry with other Ivy League schools. She remembers, "My freshman year we lost to Brown, which interrupted the 50-something game winning streak. It was so disappointing and we felt like we had let the other teams before us down. We never lost another Ivy League game after that during my time there." Her busy schedule made fitting everything in tough. "That was one of the hardest things about college," she remembers. "I feel like being able to balance athletics and academics has made me much more of an efficient person. I don't think I've felt like I couldn't handle a situation since then." As for missing out on part of the college experience because of field hockey, she feels, "Obviously there were some activities and even classes I missed because of weekends away, for example. And I missed part of my sophomore spring for the Junior World Cup in Argentina, but I believe my experience playing field hockey at Princeton and for the USA far outweighs anything I might have missed." Today, Friebe plays on a field hockey team made up of Pakistani men and former female college players. They meet once a week and play a tournament a year. She plans to stay in the U.S. for her medical career, even though she says, "I do miss Germany. My old teammates are some of my best friends." And a less pleasant aspect of her field hockey experience has made an impact on her life. She explains, "I'm at that time in medical school where I have to choose my specialty. Having played sports my whole life and having sustained some injuries, I am drawn to the field of orthopedic surgery and sports medicine." — Suzanne Eschenbach	cc/2022-05/en_head_0037.json.gz/line44

__label__wiki	0.641821	0.641821	JAMES H. FARRIGAN vs. HENRY A. PEVEAR & others October 1, 1906 - October 22, 1906 Court Below: Superior Court, Worcester County Present: KNOWLTON, C. J., HAMMOND, BRALEY, & RUGG, JJ. Charity. Negligence. A trust to maintain an unincorporated institution called a home for the sole purpose of affording free education and maintenance for deserving and destitute boys is a valid public charity. The trustees of an unincorporated home maintained for the free education and maintenance of deserving and indigent boys if they have used reasonable care in the selection of their servants are not liable for injuries caused by the negligence of such servants. TORT for personal injuries sustained while in the employ of the defendants, the first count alleging that the defendants put the plaintiff to work in an unsafe and dangerous place, and that the defendants knew, or in the exercise of reasonable care might have known, that the place was unsafe and dangerous; the second count making the same allegations and describing the place of danger as a pump pit or well hole in an engine room on the defendants' premises, in close proximity to the exhaust pipe from a gasoline engine from which noxious gases escaped into the pit, and alleging that the plaintiff while at work for the defendants entered the pit by direction of the defendants' agents and was injured by the gases; and the third count alleging failure on the part of the defendants to notify the plaintiff of a danger known to them. Writ dated June 16, 1904. The answer, in addition to a general denial, alleged that the defendants were trustees of a public charitable institution, and that as individuals they had no interest in the premises where the plaintiff was injured. In the Superior Court the case was tried before Pierce, J. The plaintiff in his opening, in answer to a question from the judge as to the special defence set up in the answer, admitted that the defendants were the trustees, and as such the managers and directors of the Stetson Home, an institution, not incorporated, situated in the town of Barre in the county of Worcester, and so called in memory of the mother of one of the defendants, who was himself the founder and chief benefactor of the institution, which was established and is maintained under a perpetual trust solely for the free and gratuitous education and maintenance of deserving and indigent boys, the entire property and income of the institution being held by the trustees in perpetual trust for that purpose, there being no dividend, profit or emolument whatsoever derived therefrom by or for any of the defendants or any other person. The plaintiff further admitted that none of the defendants was present when the accident occurred or had knowledge of the incidents or conditions attending the time, place or occasion of the alleged injury to the plaintiff, nor did any of the defendants give, or have knowledge of the giving of any orders or directions by the defendants' agents to the plaintiff in the premises, nor have any participation in or knowledge of the work in which the plaintiff alleged that he was engaged at the time of his injury. The plaintiff further admitted that there was no personal negligence of the defendants or any of them in the premises "attributable as the proximate cause of the plaintiff's alleged injury," and that if there was any negligence in the premises, causing the alleged injury to the plaintiff, it was that of servants and agents of the defendants, as such trustees, acting in the absence of the defendants and without their knowledge or direction. The judge ordered a verdict for the defendants; and the plaintiff alleged exceptions. G. S. Taft, for the plaintiff. G. A. Gaskill, for the defendants. BRALEY, J. The Stetson Home, of which the defendants are trustees, was founded and is maintained under a trust created by gift for the sole purpose of affording an education and maintenance for destitute boys, and whatever advantages the institution offers are conferred without compensation. These distinctive features are ample to bring the home, even if unincorporated, within that class of benevolent institutions whose sole purpose is to furnish relief to destitute and deserving people, and therefore constitutes a valid public charity. Bartlett v. Nye, 4 Met. 378, 380. Odell v. Odell, 10 Allen 1, 4. Jackson v. Phillips, 14 Allen 539. Sherman v. Congregational Home Missionary Society, 176 Mass. 349. Minot v. Attorney General, 189 Mass. 176, 179. At the outset it may be said that the case of Davis v. Central Congregational Society, 129 Mass. 367, on which the plaintiff relies, and that of Smethurst v. Barton Square Church, 148 Mass. 261, are not authorities in his favor, as in those cases the question of the liability of a public charity for the negligence of its servants or agents does not appear to have been raised or decided. See Minns v. Billings, 183 Mass. 126; Osgood v. Rogers, 186 Mass. 238, 240. Compare Chapin v. Holyoke Young Men's Christian Association, 165 Mass. 280, and Donnelly v. Boston Catholic Cemetery Association, 146 Mass. 163. Under the authority of McDonald v. Massachusetts General Hospital, 120 Mass. 432, if the home had been incorporated the plaintiff could not have maintained this action against it, for such a corporation was held in that case not to be liable for the negligence of its servants properly selected when acting in the performance of their prescribed duties. See also Benton v. Boston City Hospital, 140 Mass. 13. Among the reasons given for this exemption it has been said, that being a charitable institution rendering services to the public without pecuniary profit, if the property of the charity was depleted by the payment of damages its usefulness might be either impaired or wholly destroyed, the object of the founder or donors defeated, and charitable gifts discouraged; or that if an individual accepts the benefit of a public charity he thereby enters into a relation which exempts his benefactor from liability for the negligence of servants who are employed in its administration, provided due care has been used in their selection. McDonald v. Massachusetts General Hospital, ubi supra. Perry v. House of Refuge, 63 Md. 20. Williamson v. Louisville Industrial School of Reform, 95 Ky. 251. Fire Insurance Patrol v. Boyd, 120 Penn. St. 624. Powers v. Massachusetts Homceopathic Hospital, 109 Fed. Rep. 294, 303. But whatever grounds may have been stated in support of these and other decisions which have held public charities exempt from actions caused by the negligence of attendants or servants, such an exemption may well rest upon the application of the rule of law which makes the principal accountable for the acts of his servant or agent. Accordingly the true inquiry is whether this rule applies to the defendants. They are not shown to have selected incompetent servants, and are conceded not only to have been ignorant of the conditions which caused the alleged injury, but to have given to the plaintiff no instructions; nor can there be imputed to them knowledge in fact of any order given by their agents to him. By the case of Foreman v. Mayor of Canterbury, L. R. 6 Q. B. 214, following the decision in the leading case of Mersey Docks v. Gibbs, L. R. 1 H. L. 93, it was decided that there was no distinction as to liability for the negligence of servants whether they were employed by a corporation established for a public purpose, or by a private person or corporation. This doctrine was approved and followed in the cases of Glavin v. Rhode Island Hospital, 12 R. I. 411, and of Donaldson v. General Public Hospital, 30 N. B. 279, where a public charity was held liable in tort for damages suffered by patients from the negligence of servants, though subsequently, by the Pub. Laws of R. I. (1880) c. 802, such institutions in that State are now exempt from this measure of liability. The plaintiff's argument in effect asks us to follow the last two cases, which have been decided since our former decision in McDonald v. Massachusetts General Hospital, 120 Mass. 432. But in this Commonwealth the rule of liability enunciated by the principal case has not been so broadly applied, and neither cities and towns in the performance of authorized municipal acts independently of certain exceptions defined by our decisions, nor public officers, although liable in damages for personal acts of negligence which cause injury to the persons or property of others when discharging the duties of their office, are held liable for the misfeasance of their servants. Hill v. Boston, 122 Mass. 344. Tindley v. Salem, 137 Mass. 171. Benton v. Boston City Hospital, ubi supra. Rome v. Worcester, 188 Mass. 307. Dickinson v. Boston, 188 Mass. 595, 599, and cases cited. Moynihan v. Todd, 188 Mass. 301, 304-306, and cases cited. Riley v. Boston, 191. Mass. 291, 292. See also 2 Dill. Mun. Corp. (4th ed.) § 974. The reason for this rule is, that acting for the benefit of the public solely in representing a public interest, whether by a municipality or by a public officer, does not involve such a private pecuniary interest as lies at the foundation of the doctrine of respondeat superior. While such officers may well be held liable for their personal negligence it would be unreasonable and harsh to hold them responsible for the negligence of their servants or agents. There would seem to be in principle no sound distinction between an action for negligence by which personal injuries have been received, directly instituted against the charity by the person injured, where its corporate form renders such procedure possible or expedient, and the present case. The object of the charity is the same whether administered by trustees elected by a corporation, or selected and appointed under a deed of gift; and even if the terms of the settlement are not referred to in the exceptions, the trust is stated to be perpetual, and if so its provisions can be enforced in equity. Under either form of administration those who administer the trust act essentially in a representative and not in a private capacity, and such trustees are not within the rule which holds the master liable, because, as we have said, where that rule applies the servant is acting, not only under his orders but also for his benefit, and in the furtherance of the master's business. Farwell v. Boston & Worcester Railroad, 4 Met. 49, 55. In no correct or just sense can it be said that the defendants were conducting a business, or engaged in an enterprise, from which they received or could expect to derive any monetary advantage or private emolument. They were serving without compensation in the supervision of a home for indigent boys, which was established for the purpose of enabling them to become self-supporting and efficient members of society. Their duty to the plaintiff in the exercise of this function did not extend beyond the requirement of using reasonable care to select competent servants, and the demands of substantial justice are met if as charitable trustees they are not charged with the negligence of those so employed. McDonald v. Massachusetts General Hospital, ubi supra. We are not unmindful that the remedy which the plaintiff may have against a fellow servant for the negligence, if any, which caused the accident may be wholly theoretical and of little practical value, yet we deem it to be in accord, not only with our own decisions but with the weight of authority, to decide that the present action cannot be maintained, and that the ruling directing a verdict for the defendants was right.
