  • Abingtonian – March2019
    Abington Senior High School, Abington, PA, 19001 March 2019 Boys Basketball Goes Back to Back to Back By Ross Armon On Saturday, March 2nd, the boys basketball team won the District 1 6A Championship in a thriller over Coatesville, 74-71 in overtime. I talked to Joey Brusha, Lucas Monroe, and Eric Dixon about the game and the season. Ross Armon: First of all, congrats on winning districts. How does it feel to be back to back to back champs? Joey Brusha: Th ank you, it feels unreal to have won three straight district titles. Lucas Monroe: Th ank you. It feels great; we’ve been here before but it doesn’t get old. We love coming down to Temple and bringing the community down there. We have bigger goals then district championships though. We want to win states. Eric Dixon: It’s a good feeling. It’s not an easy thing to do, especially in this district. RA: You guys had a really tough game on Saturday against Coatesville. What was your mindset going in and what did coach say to you before overtime? JB: Going into the game our mindset was to follow our game plan and play within ourselves. When we came into the huddle before overtime, Coach Grasty told us to calm down and play as a team and if we did that we would win. LM: It was a great game. It’ll probably go down as an all-time classic. Our mindset going in was just to play hard and do what we’ve been doing all year.

  • Southern Israel: a Spring Migration Spectacular March 21–April 4, 2020
    SOUTHERN ISRAEL: A SPRING MIGRATION SPECTACULAR MARCH 21–APRIL 4, 2020 JORDAN VALLEY PRE -TRIP BIRD BONANZA , FROM CRANES TO EAGLES ! MARCH 16-23, 2020 ©2019 Male Bluethroat on migration in Eilat © Andrew Whittaker Best known perhaps for its luminous history, Israel happens to be one of the premier places in the world for experiencing the magic of bird migration. Strategically positioned at the crossroads of three continents, and serving as the land bridge between them east of the Mediterranean Sea, Israel is a crucial stopover site for millions of birds on migration. Over 200 species pass through Israel each year as they travel from their wintering grounds in Africa their Eurasian breeding grounds. Southern Israel, Page 2 Spring is an amazing time for birding here. Migration is evident everywhere, and almost any green space or area with water in southern Israel will hold migrants. The skies fill with mind-boggling flocks of raptors and other soaring birds, and there is a constant trickle of shorebirds and passerines that includes sandpipers, bee-eaters, swallows, warblers, flycatchers, shrikes, buntings, and more. The variety of birds is incredible, with many wintering species still around, resident birds on territory, and wave after wave of migrants arriving daily as the season progresses. Israel is worth visiting anytime during the spring, but late March is probably the most impressive in terms of the quality of species present and the sheer number of birds around. In addition to migrants, Israel is blessed with many wonderful Near-eastern specialty species including the last viable populations of Macqueen’s Bustard, Desert Owl, Pharaoh Eagle-Owl, Nubian Nightjar, several species of sandgrouse, and a multitude of wheatears, larks, pipits, and more.

Kristof won his first Pulitzer in 1990 alongside his wife Sheryl WuDunn for their coverage as Times reporters of the Tiananmen Square democracy movement. Sixteen years later, Kristof won his second Pulitzer for his columns in the Times, which drew attention to the genocide in Darfur through deep reporting which, “at great personal risk … gave voice to the voiceless in other parts of the world.” Kristof has been a Pulitzer Prize finalist five additional times. Most recently, in 2016, Kristof’s “courageously reported and deeply felt” columns surrounding the plight of Syrian refugees earned him a nod from the jury.

  • LONG BIO It's Like the Entire Earth Shifted on Its Axis When Travis Scott
    LONG BIO It’s like the entire Earth shifted on its axis when Travis Scott first landed. Not only did the Houston raised and Los Angeles-based artist, producer, songwriter, designer, style icon, and Catcus Jack Records founder forever change hip-hop and music at large, but he indelibly and irrevocably impacted the culture as well. Powered by his visionary production, inimitable curation, airtight rapping, and stratosphere-shattering singing, 2016 saw him ascend to heights of superstardom to rival the size of his native Texas. Magnetically attracting one of the most diehard fan bases in music, his second consecutive platinum full-length opus Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight [Epic Records/Grand Hustle] crashed the Billboard Top 200 at #1 and Top Hip-Hop/Rap Albums Chart at #1. Among a bevy of unpredictable, undeniable, and uncontainable bangers, “Goosebumps” [feat. Kendrick Lamar] earned an RIAA triple-platinum certification, the Young Thug collaboration “Pick Up The Phone” [feat. Quavo] went double- platinum, “Beibs in the Trap” [feat. Nav] soared to platinum, and “Through the Late Night” [feat. Kid Cudi] became gold. Consistently “One of Spotify’s 100 Most Streamed Artists in the World,” his total streams surpassed 1 billion by 2017. To date, album sales exceed over 1 million track sales and single sales exceed over 2.7 million track sales worldwide. Joined by his giant animatronic bird “Jack,” the incendiary shows for Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight would be equally legendary. He supported Kendrick Lamar on the sold out DAMN. Tour across the United States in addition to now storied main stage spots at key festivals such as Coachella and Bonnaroo.
