by Jose Valentino Ruiz, Ph.D., D.Min., University of Florida, In the history of American popular music, there have been few luminaries as enduring and innovative as Tony Bennett. With a career that spanned almost 80 years, Bennett’s smooth tones, unique phrasing and visionary musical collaborations left an indelible mark on vocal jazz and the recording industry as a whole. That his death at the age of 96 on July 21, 2023, was mourned by artists as varied as Keith Urban, Ozzy Osbourne and Harry Connick Jr. should come as no surprise. Yes, Bennett was a jazz crooner. But if his voice was always a constant – even late into his 80s, way past an age when most other singers have seen their vocal abilities diminish – then his embrace of the contemporary was every bit a facet of Bennett’s appeal. Vocal innovator Bennett’s journey is a testament to the power of daring innovation. From the early days of his career in the 1950s to his final recordings in the early 2020s, he fearlessly explored new musical territories, revolutionizing vocal jazz and captivating audiences across generations. His vocal style and phrasing

Globally, 2023 has seen some of the hottest days in modern measurements, but what about farther back, before weather stations and satellites? Some news outlets have reported that daily temperatures hit a 100,000-year high. As a paleoclimate scientist who studies temperatures of the past, I see where this claim comes from, but I cringe at the inexact headlines. While this claim may well be correct, there are no detailed temperature records extending back 100,000 years, so we don’t know for sure. Here’s what we can confidently say about when Earth was last this hot. This is a new climate state Scientists concluded a few years ago that Earth had entered a new climate state not seen in more than 100,000 years. As fellow climate scientist Nick McKay and I recently discussed in a scientific journal article, that conclusion was part of a climate assessment

This is a response to 5 Things You Have To Do In Tokyo. If hundreds of Kit Kat flavors (among them is purple sweet potato), restaurants where you don't have to talk to anyone and rabbit islands aren't enough of a reason to learn Japanese, I don't know what is!Jokes aside, if your goal is to pass JLPT N5 (the first level of the Japanese Proficiency Test), you're surely asking around and trying not to swamp your notes with thousands of links. Been there, done that. It's safe to say that hoarding is my weak spot, and many of us share that habit. Bearing all this in mind, where should you start? Out of all the existing resources, which ones are beginner-friendly?Hiragana & Katakana Practice Workbook, Coto AcademyYour starting point should be as painless as possible. Hiragana, katakana, and kanji are the three writing systems used in Japanese. I advise you to pick up on Hiragana first. Katakana is next in line.Ideally, you can dedicate around 30 minutes up to an hour of your day to mastering these writing systems - with this workbook, that would be one page per day (around 5-10 new letters, plus six words listed below

Shares in AMC Theatres soared by just over 60 percent late Friday — and at one point by 100 percent — after a Delaware Court judge blocked parent AMC Entertainment Holdings from proceeding with a plan to convert AMC Preferred Equity Units, or so-called APEs, into the company’s common shares. Vice Chancellor Morgan T. Zurn of the Court of Chancery in Delaware rejected an earlier settlement that would have paved the way for AMC to continue to sell stock to reduce its high debt load. “The proposed settlement is not approved,” Judge Zurn concluded in his 68-page decision. With the aid of a report on the lawsuit from a Special Master, Corinne Elise Amato, the judge sided with plaintiffs that argued before the court the AMC Theatres board “breached their fiduciary duties by issuing and ‘weaponizing’ the preferred units, thereby interfering with the common stockholders’ voting rights. Second, they contended AMC was statutorily required to provide the common stockholders with a class vote on the creation of the preferred units, and failed to do so,” the judgement states. In late Dec. 2022, AMC announced it raised $110 million to pay down debt by selling APE units to Antara Capital, LP to

Simple ingredients are often the most difficult to perfect, but when executed precisely, the result is magical. My Mom and Grandma love catfish and grew up eating it in Rome, GA. If you aren’t a fan because you think it may taste too fishy or have a heavy breading, then you have yet to try the Southern Delight from Catfish Hox. We have eaten here many times over the last five years, and I usually don’t indulge in fried fish too often. Still, I read soooo many positive reviews about their Tomahawk Tacos that I had to give them a whirl around the dancefloor. And those tacos can dance! The fresh, unfishy-tasting meat, lightly breaded in cornmeal and fried, pairs perfectly with the crispy cabbage and chipotle-lime aioli, adding just the right amount of kick. Talking to the proprietor, Phil told me having clean oil and frying at a higher temperature helps lock in the flavor and have a crunchy exterior on the fish.   The owner/chef, Phil Creasor, is a veteran of the Marines and was sent to combat three times.
