The art and power of healing

“In a creative environment there is an encounter with yourself, an awakening to your unconscious, to your experiences,” said Tammy Federman, a filmmaker whose new documentary “Memory Game” centers on a theater troupe of survivors of Holocaust in Israel managed by AMCHA, an Israeli social support services organization. “But there's also a group meeting because one person talks about this very traumatic experience and another person can relate to it. It gives you the courage to open up, to share your experience, and there is also joy, there is humor, there is movement and creativity.” And while research from Brandeis…

Brexit champion Nigel Farage will run in the UK elections

Nigel Farage, the pro-Brexit activist and serial disruptor of British politics, announced plans on Monday to stand in Britain's general election next month, dealing a fresh setback to the prospects of the country's troubled prime minister, Rishi Sunak. The surprise announcement by Farage, who represents a far-right rebel movement, threatens to upend the election campaign by taking votes away from Britain's ruling Conservative Party.

Champions League: Borussia Dortmund proves that anything is possible

'steel? 'ecology? Because you should know, he did. Of course he did. This is Cristiano Ronaldo. And he collaborated with Egyptian Steel. However, even by these not-so-high standards, this week has been a bad one for Ronaldo. For basic context: he's 39 years old. He is several times a millionaire. He is a hero to millions of…

How the Reds’ Joey Votto became a social media star

How the Reds’ Joey Votto became a social media star

The outburst, which Votto and Jim Day, the reporter on the sidelines of the Reds broadcasts, had been reenacting for weeks – even on the team plane, which confused quite a few members of the Reds staff – has gone viral: one of the funniest characters of baseball had acted again. Votto, 40, who didn't embrace social media until March 2020, now regularly posts content to an audience of more than 300,000 followers on Instagram and X, formerly known as Twitter. Like the attack on Russo, Votto's posts are carefully conceived and executed. Last winter, she posed in a flamboyant…
