The World's Largest River is Running Low (Encore)
The region drained by the Amazon River, including the Amazon Rainforest, is in the second year of a punishing drought. That has lead to the lowest water levels in more than 100 years for the Amazon and its major tributaries. Millions of people and an array of wildlife depend on those quickly disappearing waters. In a story we first brought you in October, we travel to the region to see the effects.Support our non-profit journalism by joining NPR+

The Moral Bankruptcy of the West
"One wonders what people in the West who have either supported Israel’s genocide or remained silent tell themselves to justify their behavior and sleep at night.

Barbarism, meaning oxymoronic unto itself
‘Barbarism’
Is its meaning ‘absence of civilization’, or ‘extreme cruelty and brutality’? It’s the only word I can think of that is oxymoronic unto itself. Unlikely pre-civ humanways were as cruel and brutal en masse as rotating cohorts of civilized humans have been and continue to be. Barbarism’s commonly connoted meaning manifests not so much in wild humans, as in civilization’s enforced compliance with authoritarianism, power hierarchy, domination and exploitation. It’s not like groups of humans at war or whatever return indigenous. They get uber violent, rape pillage & plunder as civilized beings. After they get it out of their system, most return to civilization’s preferred norms, proud tax paying citizens. Civilization has barbarism built in.
On the edge of oblivion and all the world is Babylon, and all the love and everyone a ship of fools sailing on.

Three Wise Men
It’s Christmas! Let us rejoice and remember when the Three Wise Men travelled to #Bethlehem from afar, guided by a star, to bring gifts to baby #Jesus as we continue that tradition to this day.
This story is from Matthew 2:9-11:
After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was.
When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.
On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Oh how joyful they must have felt when they met Mary with baby Jesus! I am delighted to share in that joy today when celebrating Christmas.
When kindness becomes a habit, it improves our health

These don't fit anywhere, but they're so enjoyable that I had to include them. They're by Mozart. No, not Wolfgang, but but his father, Leopold!
The first was written with Christmas and children in mind. But let's just forget we're adults for a moment.

I just accidentally found a new (for me) operetta! Sadly, I doubt I'll find more by these two in this particular play, but perhaps, I can find it performed in English somewhere. It sounds like something I would absolutely love to see.

I love this song, and for some reason, I always find myself singing it. This man's voice is also among the best I've ever heard in my life. For some odd reason, this video doesn't say his name. It's Trefor Jones.

What is the best gift to give to your friends for Christmas? Well, if you're Ivor Novello, apparently, it's a professionally-recorded meddly of your music, with a Christmas greeting written out! Can you imagine recieving something this beautiful from a friend? Most of these people worked with him as well, so it was probably both friends and colleagues who received it, and, I'm willing to bet, his own mother.

in reply to Georgiana Brummell • •Oh, that was absolutely fantastic! What an amazing performance! It's the first time I saw a truly professional version of an Ivor Novello work, aside from the mess that was the Glamorous Night film, whose only saving graces were Mary Ellis and Trefor Jones. While I loved Perchance to dream and King's Rhapsody, both were amateur productions. This was how his works were meant to be seen and heard! And the woman who played Maria equalled Mary Ellis in her singing abilities,, including the amazing portemento and high notes! And Olive Gilbert not only sang but spoke as well! Dunstand Hart just sang, but judging by the script, that was probably how the original play was written, too. Overall, I would highly recommdns this not just to fans of Ivor Novello but to anyone who wants to see a romantic story with beautiful music, sung properly!
