 an unwelcoming or hostile atmosphere to new refugees. Resettlement is a federal, not state issue despite political opinion.
What has been the greatest success of the Syrian Community Network in Chicago?
Our greatest success is that we are a voice for the refugees in Chicago. When media outlets want to reach out to the Syrian refugee community, we connect them and help refugees tell their own stories so their experience is shared around Chicago and the world.
People often wonder in a crisis like the Syrian civil war, what can one individual person do to help. What are some tangible ways to get involved?
Start by visiting our website and filling out a volunteer form. We need individuals who want to tutor, mentor, translate and help just drive refugees around as they get to know the city. Please donate funds to help organizations like us continue our programming and expand to hire more specialists. Write us to speak at your churches, synagogues, mosques and places of worship or community groups. Promote refugee issues on social media and in your networks as raising awareness is incredibly important and simple to do. Even if you want to just invite a refugee family to dinner at your house, give us a call.

"The Dutch Lady of Jazz" is what trumpeter Saskia Laroo has been affectionately called by the press and fans for years. On this new album release tour, she will present her highly anticipated eighth album “Trumpets Around The World”, with which she will also celebrate three milestones at the same time: the new release, 40 years on stage as of this year, 25 years leading the Saskia Laroo Band, and 25 years since the start-up of Laroo Records. On the protean “Trumpets Around The World”, Laroo skillfully combines her mastery of trumpet, bass, and saxophone with forays into funky dance, hip hop, modern grooves, singing and rap, wielding her candid improvisational style, inspired by influences and cultures from all over the world.
Laroo's album was first launched November 1, 2019 in the Netherlands and celebrated with a concert that evening of the Saskia Laroo Band at Het Concertgebouw, Amsterdam.
Now she further celebrates the new album with a release tour of "Trumpets Around The World" with a concert program of the Saskia Laroo Band, a music evening full of jazzy tunes, modern grooves, hiphop and dance. Saskia Laroo and her band take the audience on a music trip from bossa to reggae, funk and blues, all combined with her jazzy trumpet.
The "Lady Miles Davis of Europe" – as she's coined in America by press and public - is one of the few women trumpet players ranked internationally at top level for over four decades and has as well been leading her own bands nearly as long. Laroo plays with her bands at large and small festivals, concert halls and clubs in locations all over the world such as, among others, Thailand, Burundi and the United States. Her music itself is often like a journey driven by not only pure jazz, but also by influences from hip hop, dance and world music, melded as if those styles have always belonged together.
Laroo has played with jazz greats such as Rosa King, Hans and Candy Dulfer, Toots Thielemans, George Coleman, Slide Hampton, recorded with Teddy Edwards and Billy Preston. She has also done dance crossovers with DJ's 100% Isis, Ken Ishi and Ronald Molendijk. Laroo released eight CDs and a DVD on her own label. She has won several prizes, including the Indian peace prize "Karmaveer Puraskaar" in 2010.
About the celebration of her milestones, Laroo says: “I always prefer to look back on my last concert; performing is always a whole new experience. But if I may mention a highlight, I think of how special it was to play in South Korea in 2017 at the KF Cheonggyecheon Music Festival in Seoul. It was an honor to be asked as a Dutch representative. "
Laroo Bookings & Management, Laroo Records and Cultmix Foundation release and support the music of trumpeter/bandleader/composer Saskia Laroo from Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Laroo Bookings features this multi instrumentalist who has released 8 albums and celebrates 40 years of performing and touring around the world presenting her signature blend of pop, dance, jazz and world music. Laroo Management develops Saskia's concepts for bringing audiences together and aiming for cultural conciliation with music.
He did what he thought would save his sorry tail, not to take any responsibility. He shoud not heve been on the road, but since he was, and hurt someone, he should have gotten 20 years instead of what amounts to a slap on the wrist considering what he did.
More information about formatting optionsIt's probably just my hate of the Bone Market, but I actually prefer Mr Iron's Warehouse. You can get Identities Uncovered at the Tracklayers' Offices in Ealing Gardens and Jericho Locks (the check in Jericho is a little easier). Might be worth investing a mood, if you have one. Once you reach the Evenlode, you have a guaranteed grind to get one Identity per action. And when you reach Balmoral, you'll get a new way to get Railway Steel directly.

Bright Brass Skulls are definitely an alternative if you have the money. But unless you have a 4+ EPA grind, the actions required to *make* that money can be spent just as well on getting Identities and converting those into Steel.McCoury band kicks off weekend of bluegrass music in Henderson
For 50 years, Del McCoury has been playing bluegrass music.
That makes him a living link between a time when the music was played on front porches, at country honky-tonks and on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry to now when it's revered at festivals around the world, played in arts centers and on television and the radio, blended with lots of other types of music.
McCoury has seen a lot change in 50 years, and Thursday night he will share what he's learned on the Henderson Fine Arts Center stage for the kickoff of the Henderson Area Arts Alliance's new performing arts season.
And it just so happens, it also kicks off a weekend of bluegrass music in Henderson. The free Bluegrass in the Park Folklife Festival will take place Friday night and Saturday in Audubon Mill Park.
McCoury has earned the respect of other musicians and not necessarily just those who share his country/bluegrass roots.
"To keep the purity that you need to do this kind of music and the drive and the energy takes a special kind of guy," fan Elvis Costello is quoted as saying in McCoury's bio information.
And even as McCoury.
Already the recipient of nine International Bluegrass Music Association Entertainer of the Year awards, a Grammy in 2006 and the National Heritage Award in 2010, McCoury will be inducted into the International Bluegrass Hall Of Fame this fall.
So there's lots to celebrate at Thursday's concert.
King's Highway will kick off the evening around 6:30 p.m. in the foyer of the fine arts center. McCoury's band will take the stage at 7:30 p.m..

Although clinical use of positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET‐CT) scans is well established in aggressive lymphomas, its prognostic value in marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) remains yet unclear. Hence, we investigated potential role of PET‐CT in predicting MZL patients' outcomes following systemic chemotherapy. A total of 32 patients with MZL who received first‐line chemotherapy were included in the analysis. They all underwent pretreatment, interim, and posttreatment PET‐CT scans. The primary objective was to evaluate the role of complete metabolic response (CMR) in posttreatment PET‐CT scans in predicting progression‐free survival (PFS). Compared with non‐CMR group, 5‐year PFS rate was significantly higher in patients who achieved CMR in posttreatment PET‐CT (54.2% vs 0.0%, P =.003) and also in patients gaining CMR in interim PET‐CT scans (62.5% vs 15.6%, P =.026). Interestingly, early CMR group, who achieved and maintained CMR in both interim and posttreatment PET‐CT scans, showed significantly higher 5‐year PFS than those with delayed or never CMR group (62.5% vs 37.5% vs 0%, P =.008). Therefore, interim and/or posttreatment CMR can be prognostic at least in these subsets of patients with MZL treated with chemotherapy.Health related treatment may be a competent field that handles leaders supply and directing firms which provide wellbeing professional services to people and also
