The Last Man.
Nation. Apr2024, Vol. 318 Issue 4, p76-81. 5p. 1 Cartoon or Caricature.
This article highlights Larry David, a Brooklyn-raised comedian known for his acid-tongued and funny Jewish humor. Alongside other Brooklyn Jews like Mel Brooks, Woody Allen, and Joan Rivers, David used comedy to address dark subjects, including Jewish oppression. While many Jewish comedians have moved away from this focus, David remains one of the few who defies Hollywood's "wokeness" and mocks all people, including himself. The article also provides an overview of David's life and career, including his involvement in creating the successful show Seinfeld. It explores the differences between David and Jerry Seinfeld's comedic styles and characters on the show, as well as David's subsequent projects, such as Curb Your Enthusiasm. The final season of Curb Your Enthusiasm is described as more explicitly political, but the author still admires David's comedic talent and humanistic approach. [Extracted from the article]

Colman Domingo: 'I Recognize I'm Having a Moment'.
People. 1/15/2024, Vol. 101 Issue 2, p46-49. 4p. 9 Color Photographs.
Colman Domingo, a veteran actor, is currently receiving awards buzz for his performances in the films Rustin and The Color Purple. Despite his long career in show business, Domingo's 50s have proven to be his best decade, with his recent roles transforming him into a leading man and a potential Oscar contender. Domingo reflects on his journey and expresses gratitude for the recognition he is receiving, acknowledging that this moment may not last forever. He credits his success to the support and influence of his family, particularly his late mother. [Extracted from the article]

Origin Story.
TIME Magazine. 1/22/2024, Vol. 203 Issue 1/2, p42-48. 7p. 5 Color Photographs.
This article provides an overview of the early life and career of Volodymyr Zelensky, the current President of Ukraine. Zelensky grew up in the city of Kryvyi Rih, which was known for its violence and crime. However, he was able to avoid getting involved in these activities due to the influence of his family, particularly his grandfather who served in the police force. Zelensky's childhood was shaped by his parents' emphasis on education and his involvement in comedy, particularly in the KVN scene. The article also explores Zelensky's journey from being a local celebrity to his transition into television production and his growing confidence as a leader. It also touches on the challenges he faced in the competitive world of KVN, including Russian chauvinism and the cultural dominance of Moscow. [Extracted from the article]

Aviva Studios, located in Manchester, England, is a new cultural center designed by the Rotterdam office of OMA. The 144,000-square-foot structure combines a 1,600-seat auditorium, a large rectangular space for performance and exhibition, and back-of-house towers. The design of the building incorporates the city's industrial heritage and surrounding high-rises. The interior spaces are stripped down and flexible, allowing for various configurations. The project faced challenges related to noise control due to its central location. The Arts Council England made a significant investment in the construction of Aviva Studios. The cost of the project, at just under $300 million, is considerably less than similar performing arts buildings in the US. The success and value of the flexible design approach will be determined by the experiences and performances held in the space. [Extracted from the article]

The article discusses the transformation of the former Jones Plaza in downtown Houston into the new Lynn Wyatt Square for the Performing Arts . Designed by RIOS, the square serves as an inclusive green space that brings music, theater, and dance outdoors. The plaza features meandering footpaths, an open lawn, Gateway Gardens, a cascading water feature, and four flexible performance configurations. The design is inspired by the concept of "urban choreography" and aims to create intersections and places for people to interact. The project also includes a restaurant pavilion and abundant seating. The transformation of the plaza has reduced hardscape, increased plantings and trees, and improved stormwater management and biodiversity. [Extracted from the article]

Even as Lower Manhattan, far from being deserted, grew into a lively residential area, Ground Zero remained an artificial zone of granite and marble. But if the Perelman Center is in this sense par for the Ground Zero course, hidden within its mute walls is an attempt to challenge architectural convention of the sort that has until now been absent from the site. PROJECTS IN 2003, in the essay "Delirious No More", Rem Koolhaas cast the planned rebuilding of the World Trade Center as a death knell for the feverish experimentalism he had so enthusiastically chronicled 25 years earlier in Delirious New York.

Do improvements in infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices endure the test of time?
Journal of Health, Population & Nutrition. 4/5/2024, Vol. 43 Issue 1, p1-12. 12p.
Background: Reducing malnutrition is a key priority for governments in low- and middle-income countries given its lasting effects on child development, health, income, and economic growth. Strategies to improve recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, especially during the first two years of life, are considered among the most effective. Methods: In this paper, we evaluate the long-run impacts of an innovative education strategy based on interactive play and performing arts implemented in El Alto, Bolivia on caregivers' IYCF knowledge and practices. Two thousand and fifteen households were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. Two rounds of data were collected approximately 30 and 42 months after baseline. We estimate short-term (30 month) and longer-term (42 month) intent-to-treat effects using multivariate linear regression analysis, with and without controlling for covariates. Results: The program significantly increased caregiver IYCF knowledge by 0.13 SDs in the short run, and this effect grew over time. The program also improved adherence to recommended IYCF practices by 0.23 standard deviations (SDs) in the short term, but the effect on practices dissipated over time, and no longer-term impacts were detected. Caregivers with above median baseline knowledge, number of children, and age appear to have benefited most from the program. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that entertainment-education interventions are a promising model for improving and maintaining IYCF knowledge. However, their ability to sustain more permanent changes in IYCF practices is less certain. Further evidence is needed to identify other avenues for producing long-term, sustainable behavior change, especially among indigenous populations in Latin America, where literature on education and behavior-change interventions related to IYCF practices is limited.

A Digital Disappointment: David Ames sees Opera Australia unveil its second new production of the tetralogy in a decade.
Wagner Journal. 2024, Vol. 18 Issue 1, p64-68. 5p.
Opera Australia recently unveiled its second new production of Wagner's tetralogy in a decade, but it was met with disappointment. The production, presented in Brisbane, faced challenges due to the venue's dead acoustic and small pit, which limited the size of the orchestra. While the Australian singers were praised, the use of digital technology and the direction of the production were criticized. Overall, the production was deemed of lower quality and unlikely to be revived. [Extracted from the article]
