If you happen to be in the Laurentians one Friday afternoon this summer, near the Saint-Agathe, a resort area north of Montreal that's popular with Jewish families, you might hear clapping, singing and loud Jewish music blasting from a flotilla of boats tied together in the middle of a lake. The gatherings represent two concurrent pre-Shabbat get-togethers, where Jewish cottagers motor out, tie up in a circle and welcome in the Sabbath. Attendees have raved about the trend, praising it for bringing badly needed Jewish resilience and inspiration that lasts long after the boat owners set their feet on dry land. In fact, the idea has been such a success that it's multiplied. There are, in fact, two different spiritual celebrations each Friday, organized and operated by separate people. Both groups of boats listen to Jewish music alongside candles, challah, a rabbi and seafaring shmoozing, but don't mix them up—each organizer is quick to point out key differences in flavour and religious observance. On today's episode of The CJN's North Star podcast, host Ellin Bessner speaks with Howard Stotland, who runs the event from Ivry-sur-le-Lac, and Rabbi Emanuel Carlebach, who runs a different Pre-“Shabb'o'at” program out of the Congregation House of Israel in nearby Sainte-Agathe-des-Monts.

The July All In For Citrus podcast episode focuses on the Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo. The event is scheduled for Aug. 20–21 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa. Micheal Rogers, director of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences (UF/IFAS) Citrus Research and Education Center, previews a new, special educational session on alternative crops. Rogers said the session will focus on bamboo, macadamia, avocado and mango production. The bulk of alternative crop presentations will focus on bamboo, which has been gaining more attention in recent years. Rogers said there are more than 1,000 acres of the crop planted in Florida, and some processing infrastructure is falling into place. Bamboo has food, wood and other use functions and is in high demand. He said the goal of the bamboo presentations is to set realistic expectations about the cost of establishing the crop, growing it and its market potential. Tripti Vashisth, UF/IFAS associate professor of citrus horticulture, joins the podcast to provide details on the citrus seminars, which include 21 presentations on HLB management and other current topics. She said the primary focus of the presentations will be to provide information that growers can use in their groves right now. Jamie Burrow, UF/IFAS Extension program manager, talks about the UF/IFAS citrus research booth that will be on the trade show floor. The booth is one of the largest exhibits and is always a highlight for attendees. Burrow said several key research scientists will be available throughout the event at the booth so growers can have one-on-one interactions with the experts. Attendees can also pick up educational materials in the booth like the new edition of the Florida Citrus Production Guide. And there's plenty of swag like pens, notepads and other freebies for the taking in the booth. Don't miss the latest All In For Citrus episode.

Tennessee Williams's legacy continues to flourish in St. Louis, thanks to the vibrant Tennessee Williams Festival St. Louis, now celebrating its 10th anniversary. In this episode, we have a delightful chat with Carrie Houk, the mastermind behind the festival. She opens up about her journey from a small festival idea to creating one of the most prominent Tennessee Williams festivals in the United States. From panel discussions to performances, the festival offers a multifaceted approach to celebrating Williams's work, all while engaging the community in a fun and interactive way. Carrie gives us a sneak peek into this year's exciting lineup, including a collaboration with the Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, which will be staging a unique version of A Streetcar Named Desire in 2026. This partnership not only enhances the festival's offerings but also highlights the importance of collaboration in the arts.

In 2011, years after Jeffrey Epstein's first conviction, Ghislaine Maxwell attended a high-powered holiday party hosted by one of Silicon Valley's most influential venture capital firms. Her presence wasn't accidental or under the radar—she was welcomed into a room full of tech elites, despite well-circulated suspicions that she had played a central role in Epstein's abuse network. Attendees recognized her. Some even acknowledged privately that her reputation was tainted. And yet, no one said a word. In a space where access is tightly controlled and names are scrutinized, Maxwell's invitation wasn't a mistake—it was a statement about how far powerful people are willing to look the other way.What makes her attendance so damning is the silence that surrounded it. People in that room suspected who she was and what she'd been involved in—but influence has a way of muting outrage when it's inconvenient. Instead of being questioned or held at arm's length, Maxwell was allowed to network, to socialize, and to maintain the illusion of respectability.

In this episode, Cody and the team dive deep into what made the latest in-person assessment seminar a transformative experience for both new and seasoned coaches. The conversation explores how rotating roles between coach, client, and observer enabled deeper learning, while practical sessions allowed attendees to immediately apply theory to movement assessments and modifications. They discuss the importance of contextual programming for both performance-driven and lifestyle-driven clients, and how heavy slow resistance (HSR) was introduced to help coaches understand its demands.Most importantly, this seminar became a space for critical thinking and experimentation. Attendees were encouraged to voice ideas, test them, and improve them collaboratively—creating a true incubator for growth. If you're a coach looking to refine your practice and gain real-life application experience, this episode will show you why the September seminar is a must-attend.

With Gender Pay Gap reporting requirements expanding to mandate all companies with over 50 employees to publish gender pay gap reports for 2025, UCD Professional Academy is stepping up to support companies with a timely, expert-led webinar masterclass. Taking place on Wednesday 28th July 2025, from 2pm to 5pm, this free online event is aimed at HR professionals, DEI leads, compliance managers, and business leaders responsible for pay reporting and employer reputation. Through this masterclass, UCD Professional Academy wants to equip Irish businesses with the knowledge, tools, and best practices needed to file and produce their reports. Research from the European Commission shows women in the EU earn on average 13 per cent less than their male counterparts. Gender Pay Gap reporting is an important mechanism to identify, understand and address gender pay disparities within companies. This webinar, from UCD Professional Academy, will support companies to go beyond compliance and discover best practice initiatives to address identified gaps and contribute to a more equitable workplace for women and men in Ireland. Delivering the webinar on behalf of UCD Professional Academy is Tracy O'Brien, HR Subject Matter Expert and Lecturer at UCD Professional Academy. Speaking about the masterclass "With the requirements now expanding to companies with over 50 employees and the deadline moving from December to November, organisations must act swiftly and accurately to meet compliance standards and align with public expectations for transparency and equity. UCD Professional Academy are offering this free webinar to equip Irish corporates, and I encourage those to sign up. The Gender Pay Gap statistics are still quite staggering, highlighting persistent disparities in pay and progression between men and women across sectors. It's vital that employers not only meet their legal obligations but also take meaningful action to close these gaps and build more inclusive workplaces." Participants will gain a clear, step-by-step roadmap to compiling a legally compliant and impactful Gender Pay Gap Report. The session will provide practical guidance on identifying the right data, calculating statutory metrics accurately, and avoiding common reporting pitfalls. Attendees will also explore how to craft a strategic narrative that supports their organisation's employer brand. As part of the session, each participant will receive a free Gender Pay Gap Reporting Toolkit, which includes a reporting checklist, a data recording template, and a glossary of key terms to support their ongoing reporting efforts. "This isn't just about legal compliance, it's about building an inclusive workplace and demonstrating accountability," said John Delves, CEO of UCD Professional Academy. "Our masterclass aims to make the process straightforward, insightful, and action-oriented for Irish businesses." By attending this UCD Professional Academy masterclass, participants can gain the confidence and clarity they need to report accurately, and more importantly, to drive change.

Pirates of the Caribbean is dropping support for the line reservation system, which should improve standby wait times, and the sprawl caused by the longer, slower moving standby line throughout New Orleans Square. – https://www.micechat.com/418015-disneyland-news-pirates-unplugged-leotas-legacy-bubble-bonanza/ Weeklyteers who want to attend this year's Oogie Boogie Bash still have a chance!

Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room also reopened this week, with the courtyard opening before the attraction. The tiki gods have all been refreshed, with Tangaroa being completely replaced with higher limbs. Inside, the attraction feels brighter, with new LED lightning, but some of the elements of the attraction are still not animated. – https://www.micechat.com/418015-disneyland-news-pirates-unplugged-leotas-legacy-bubble-bonanza/ A new collaboration is coming to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. Disney has partnered with Coca-Cola to offer 30 specialty cans and bottles of Coke products for purchase, with 3 being only available at Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Star Wars fans can collect their favorite icons, with shows and scenes from the movies, and TV. Fans can then scan cans, bottles, or street advertisements to unlock immersive AR experiences. You can also record a message of hope, inspiration, or encouragement, like a transmission that can be shared as a hologram-style video with your community. – https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/new-coca-cola-collaboration-celebrates-star-wars-fans/ If you would like your very own tiki bird at home, the Garner Holt Foundation has an option for you. They have launched a Kickstarter campaign to provide animatronic songbird mini kits so Disney fans can make them at home. You can customize the bird, and program it to talk or sing. – https://www.micechat.com/417829-garner-holt-diy-animatronic-bird-kit/ Disney merchandise from Japan and China is unlike anything we have in the domestic parks. DisneyStore.com now has some of the merchandise from those locations online to purchase.

STORY 3: ‘The Bluebird Guy’ Leads 13-Year Conservation Effort in West Cobb Jim Bearden, a 79-year-old retired event planner from Alabama, is affectionately known as “the Bluebird Guy” for his 13-year conservation efforts to repopulate bluebirds in the southeast. Starting with one nesting box at Green Meadows Preserve in Cobb County, Bearden has expanded the Bluebird Trail to over 30 boxes, helping over 3,000 bluebirds thrive. His work combats the species' decline caused by DDT in the 1960s and ’70s. Bearden funds much of the effort himself, including $200 monthly for mealworms, but annual fundraisers like the Marietta Wine Market event help offset costs. The trail’s success has inspired community involvement, with Bearden sharing tips like planting native plants and avoiding pesticides. His work is also shared with Cornell’s NestWatch program, ensuring a lasting impact. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

632. Chip Lococo discusses his novel, The Devil's Jazz:
A Gripping Historical Thriller of Murder, Music, and Madness in 1918 New Orleans, about the infamous Axman of New Orleans. “They have never caught me and they never will... I have been, am, and will be the worst spirit that ever existed either in fact or the realm of fancy.” — The Axman       In the haunted heart of New Orleans, as World War I draws to a close, a sinister presence stalks the streets. A brutal serial killer—known only as the Axman—emerges from the shadows, targeting the city's Sicilian immigrant community with chilling precision. Inspired by true events, The Devil's Jazz resurrects one of America's most disturbing unsolved murder cases in a city steeped in music, mystery, and myth. Retired detective Giancarlo Rabito is pulled back into the darkness when the killings begin. The press fans hysteria. The public panics. And when the Axman sends a blood-chilling letter to the newspapers — promising death unless every home plays jazz on a chosen night — the city answers with a desperate and defiant flood of music.       Chip LoCoco was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he attended Jesuit High School and received his BA degree from Loyola University in 1990 with a concentration in History. He then went on to receive his JD degree from Loyola University Law School in 1993 and joined his father's firm, Many & LoCoco, after being sworn in as an attorney in October, 1993.

Should Tefillin Be Worn During a Berit Mila—and Do All Attendees Share in the Misva? A Berit Mila is one of the holiest events in Jewish life, symbolizing the covenant between Hashem and Am Yisrael. Tefillin, too, are a sign of this covenant. So when a Berit Mila takes place during or after Shaharit, should one continue wearing Tefillin for the ceremony? And is the Misva of the Berit shared by all who are present? Are Tefillin and Berit Mila Connected? Yes. Both Tefillin and Berit Mila are called an "Ot"—a sign of the Jewish people's bond with Hashem: Berit Mila is the physical covenant, marked on the body. Tefillin are a daily reaffirmation of that covenant, worn on the body as a public declaration. The Zohar teaches that these "signs" complement each other, and the greater the combination of "Otot" present, the stronger the spiritual impact. Should One Keep Tefillin On During the Berit? Yes— ideally, a person should keep his Tefillin on during the entire Berit Mila ceremony , even if it takes place after Shaharit has ended. This applies even if the Berit occurs after Musaf on a weekday or Rosh Hodesh (more on that in the next Halacha). Keeping the Tefillin on during the Berit adds to the holiness of the moment. Many great Rabbis, including Hacham Ben Zion Abba Shaul, would be careful not to remove their Tefillin until the Berit was completed. Exception: If it is extremely late and the person must go to work or is in discomfort, he may remove them after Tefilla—but if possible, it is praiseworthy to wait. Does Every Attendee Share in the Misva? Absolutely. According to many Rishonim and Aharonim: The Misva is not only on the father and Mohel. All those present —men standing respectfully and celebrating the moment— are rewarded for participating in the Misva . Rav Hida writes that being present for a Berit Mila is like joining in a public Kiddush Hashem. Therefore, remaining in Tefillin and treating the Berit with reverence—even as a bystander—brings spiritual reward. Extra Care During the Ceremony Because the Tefillin are on during the Berit: One should avoid casual chatter. Try to stand respectfully and listen to the Berachot. If possible, recite verses of Torah quietly or say Tehillim until the ceremony concludes. Summary: Tefillin should remain on during a Berit Mila whenever possible—even after Shaharit. All those present share in the Misva—not just the father or Mohel. Wearing Tefillin during the ceremony enhances its holiness and connects the covenant of the body (Berit) with the covenant of the mind and heart (Tefillin).
