Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:42:29 GMT

In response to a call by Hamas leaders for a global “Day of Rage” on a holy day for Muslims, South Florida is stepping up security measures despite no specific credible threats. The call for worldwide protests has raised concerns and prompted heightened vigilance across the region. “We’re going to have a police presence throughout October 13th because of the threat,” said Rabbi Ariel Yeshurun of Skylake Synagogue. “We are asking everyone to be extra vigilant, cautious, and open up your eyes and ears.”Skylake Synagogue Hebrew School in North Miami Beach is among the institutions taking precautionary steps in response to the call for protests on a significant religious day. “To call on his believers — his followers — to sacrifice blood and soul to kill innocent people, on a day that is designated in the Muslim faith to prayer. It’s uh, I mean I think, it’s overwhelming,” expressed Rabbi Yeshurun. Rabbi Yoni ...

Alaska Airlines has created a coffee that it says tastes better in the sky

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:42:29 GMT

New York (CNN) — Drinking bad coffee is just one of the many downsides of flying. Alaska Airlines thinks it has a solution.Alaska has created a custom blend with Portland-based roaster Stumptown to make a coffee that’s immune from the altitude-changing effects that airborne-served coffee typically creates, including tasting bitter and weak.The custom coffee, a first for a major airline, will exclusively be served on every Alaska flight, including its regional carrier Horizon Air, by December 1.Taste and smell are inextricably combined and people’s sense of smell is significantly altered in the sky. Food and drinks taste different because pressurized cabins lower blood oxygen levels, which reduces the ability of olfactory receptors (i.e. the ability to smell). The extremely dry air of the cabin, with its humidity levels lower than that of the Sahara Desert, also affects the nose.To combat those effects, Alaska turned to Stumptown’s Holler Mountain, a medium-dark blend, for the base, ...

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:42:29 GMT

KYIV — Viktoriia Gryshchenko, an intellectual property rights specialist from Kyiv, arrived in Israel only 10 days ago, looking forward to a temporary break from Russia’s war on her homeland. “But I only escaped from war into another war. And I say that with a bitter smile on my face,” said Gryshchenko, who had not left Kyiv since the start of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine more than 19 months ago. On the morning of October 7, she awoke in Petah Tikva, a city 10 kilometers east of Tel Aviv, just as if she were back in Kyiv on February 24, 2022, as Hamas launched thousands of missiles at Israel. In addition to rocket barrages, Hamas militants stormed into Israel, killing hundreds and kidnapping dozens more. In response, Israel launched a large-scale assault and siege of Gaza. “I can compare both wars. And Hamas is acting just like Russia. Identical attacks, identical atrocities,” Gryshchenko told POLITICO. “I can see this is the same evil that came...

Turf debate heats up again ahead of Ravens-Titans game at Tottenham Stadium: ‘Just look at the results’

Published Wed, 25 Dec 2024 18:42:29 GMT

Odell Beckham Jr. is not a fan of artificial turf.Last December, in the wake of New York Giants veteran wide receiver Sterling Shepherd suffering a torn ACL in a game against the Dallas Cowboys, Beckham took to social media to blast the MetLife Stadium playing surface. “Just get rid of it all the [expletive] bro,” Beckham tweeted in response to a video of the noncontact injury. “Billions made off this game I can’t understand why we can’t play on grass.”Beckham knows the field well. As a member of the Giants in 2017, he suffered a season-ending broken ankle there in a game against the Chargers when his leg got twisted with that of defensive back Casey Hayward. Ever since, the star wide receiver has had issues with the ankle, including each of the past few weeks after tweaking it in the Ravens’ win over the Bengals in Cincinnati, which also plays on a synthetic surface.He returned last week against the Pittsburgh Steelers — and t...
