But the question over the color of Jesus’ skin is a serious one this Easter, for two reasons. But there are some who say Jesus’ color should stay the same, or that it doesn’t matter at all. He concedes that there are barriers to worshipping a White Jesus that he, a White man, may not understand. Jesus didn’t simply care about the poor, he was poor.”Cleveland tells CNN that people who say Jesus’ color wasn’t important ignore history. She says the experience taught her how much White Christian nationalism and the White Jesus have merged.

Tina L. Blankenship-Early, a street sweeper operator living in Los Angeles who is the first woman inducted into the National Lowrider Hall of Fame, on her 1966 “Game Killa” Chevrolet Caprice, as told to A.J. I started out doing car audio for my best friend’s dad on a 1966 Chevrolet Impala in his garage many years ago. Then, he let me work on other cars in his garage. I had always wanted a lowrider because I grew up around them in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. One day, my friend’s dad said, “You need to build a car.” He helped me find a 1965 Impala, and that’s how it all started.

☆ How Jewish People Built the American Theater
▼ + stars: | 2023-11-29 | by ( Jesse Green | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +46 min

Let Us Tell You A Story How Jewish people built the American theater as we know it. The theater, which for many Jews was a major way of becoming American in the first place, seems unable to acknowledge that the danger that American Jews face is not just historical, and not just onstage. (Both of Adler’s parents were Yiddish theater stars — her father, Jacob Adler, was a renowned Shylock in 1903.) Embedding their own observation and experience within Stanislavsky’s, along with the best of Yiddish theater and a generous dollop of Freud, they converted the American theater to Judaism. Sara Krulwich/The New York TimesThe Jewish contribution to the creation of the American theater was built on the acknowledgment of a larger humanity alive within each of us, available to some, with natural empathy and rigorous training.

Google has come under pressure in some countries to negotiate commercial deals and pay news publishers for their content, though not in Taiwan. Google said it will pay local publishers through what it calls a "Taiwan News Digital Co-prosperity Fund" to strengthen their digital publishing capability. The fund will help Taiwan local media "hone digital skills, gain expertise and support the sustainable development of Taiwan's news industry", the company said. "Even while Google faces many challenges in the overall international environment, Taiwan remains a crucial global stronghold," Tina Lin, managing director of sales and operations at Google Taiwan, told reporters in Taipei. Google said Taiwan's media industry has been facing major competitive challenges in adapting to the digital age, pointing out that advertising revenues for traditional media outlets have dropped 70% from 2003 to 2020.

Un colaps al turismului va afecta însă economia în ansamblul său. Într-un efort de a atrage vizitatorii străini, Erdogan a impus o carantină la nivel național în cea mai mare parte a lunii mai pentru a limita răspândirea virusului. În plus, turiștii nu sunt obligați să efectueze teste PCR, iar autoritățile au favorizat vaccinarea angajaților din turism și a certificat 10.000 de hoteluri și alți operatori care respectă strict standardele de igienă. Cu 5.000 de kilometri de coastă și ruine grecești și romane, Turcia a fost a șasea cea mai căutată destinație de vacanță din lume înainte de izbucnirea coronavirusului. Însă pandemia a dus la scăderea numărului de turiști anul trecut, iar veniturile s-au redus cu aproape 70 la sută.

Aceasta este ţara noastră şi nu avem alta”, a scris opozantul rus pe contul său de Twitter după anunţarea hotărârii. El a fost condamnat la trei ani și șase luni de detenție într-o pușcărie cu regim general, anunță presa rusă. Potrivit publicației Novaya Gazeta, dosarul „Yves Rocher” a fost inițiat împotriva lui Alexei Navalny și a fratelui său Oleg în decembrie 2012 în baza unei declarații a lui Bruno Leproux, directorul general al Yves Rocher Vostok LLC (filiala din Rusia a firmei). Fraților li s-a imputat că ar fi tras pe sfoară compania de cosmetice Yves Rocher și o întreprindere de procesare ca intermediar în furnizarea serviciilor de logistică. Leproux, cel care a prezentat declarația împotriva lui Navalny, nu s-a prezentat niciodată în instanță și apoi a demisionat de la Yves Rocher.

Însă, în afară de clorofilă, aceste alge conţin şi carotenoizi, pigmenţi roşii sau portocalii prezenţi şi în morcovi, spre exemplu. Ei au colectat mostre de sol din zonele alese în vara anului 2016, după topirea zăpezilor sezoniere. Membri ai echipei specializaţi în extragerea de material ADN din mediu au identificat în sol materialul genetic rămas după moartea algelor din aceste spaţii. Însă schimbările climatice au un impact puternic şi asupra gheţarilor din regiunile montane, care sunt deseori surse ale unor importante reţele hidrografice. Pe termen lung, impactul schimbărilor climatice va fi simţit şi în regiunile montane, a avertizat Eric Maréchal.

Gheorghe Buhnă a fost angajat, pentru o perioadă de probă de trei luni, în calitate de pădurar în Cantonul nr. În aceeași perioadă a fost verificat și cantonul care a fost gestionat, până la finalul lunii decembrie 2020, de către Gheorghe Buhnă. Au vorbit în public despre tăierile ilegale de pădure, iar șeful Ocolului Silvic Bujor și doi pădurari au fost demiși. După ce a fost depus denunțul la organele de drept în privința ilegalităților, Gheorghe Buhnă a fost chemat la audieri, unde a fost întrebat dacă a văzut cine și cum a tăiat ilegal pădurea. Contactat telefonic în timp ce ne apropiam de satul Bujor, Valeriu Merzâncu ne-a transmis că nu dorește să discute cu noi.
