I was a cellist at the Purcell School of Music...I was always told/ it was expected that I would grow into a full size cello. 4'11, size two feet, hands to match, I never did. And was told I couldn't possibly play a 3/4 size professionally

A nice, small, cello has been on my wish list for a while
A moment that changed me: I was loving life as a cellist – then something snapped in my arm
As a teenager with a scholarship to a prestigious music school, I was looking forward to a future playing Dvořák, Shostakovich and Elgar. Then came the injury that shattered my dreams

“Homicide isn’t a rare anomaly for pregnant and postpartum women — it’s one of their leading causes of death,” writes Sara Chodosh, an Opinion graphics editor. This makes pregnancy-associated homicides a real public health concern, she adds. nyti.ms/4gKHwyv

For women under 25, getting pregnant more than doubles their risk of homicide.

Netanyahu is due to take the stand in his corruption trial tomorrow afternoon in Tel Aviv.
He has pulled any possible excuse to try to postpone his testimony. With some success. But now the time has come.
He is so desperate that I wouldn't rule out a surprise ceasefire and hostage deal.

This is very worrying but White Helmet head Raed el Selah said less than hour ago they are there and still working on it
According to lawyer Nabil El Halabi:
The Red Prison inside Sednaya Prison has been accessed, and all the cells were found completely empty. A witness in the area reported that dozens of buses arrived at the location four days ago, and prisoners were transported to an unknown destination.
