The team said the discovery not only underscored the horror of the antisemitic atrocity, but provided new insights into when genetic disorders often found among Ashkenazi Jews first appeared. “I’m really excited that 12 years on [from our first investigations], we’ve finally been able to use historical records, archaeology and ancient DNA analyses to shed new light on a historical crime, and in doing so sequenced the oldest genomes from a Jewish population,” said Dr Selina Brace, lead author of the research from the Natural History Museum in London....

Die Presse: Wie helfen Sie jungen Leuten beim Komponieren, gerade hier in Grafenegg? Georg Friedrich Haas: Ich frage mich gemeinsam mit den Teilnehmern, warum sie etwas geschaffen haben, das sie mir genauso zeigen. Jungs müssen wirklich wissen, was sie wollen. Nach Arnold Schönbergs Diktum soll jeder nicht nur das tun, was er kann, sondern wozu er sich verpflichtet fühlt. Gleichzeitig möchte ich sagen, dass es oft nicht nur entscheidend ist, was ich komponiere, sondern auch, wo ich es hinlege....

Dass das Thema Aids das Leben von Ulrike Hoffmeister (63) nachhaltig beeinflussen würde, war nicht absehbar. Doch schon früh wurde sie mit Krankheiten konfrontiert: Als sie sieben Jahre alt war, erkrankte ihr Vater an Krebs. Er starb, als sie neun war. Später erlebte er als Sozialarbeiter alle Stationen des Umgangs mit Aids, von den dramatischen Anfängen Mitte der 1980er Jahre bis zu den guten Behandlungsmöglichkeiten von heute.

Home sellers are getting nervous, as the once hot housing market cools fast. One in five sellers in August dropped their asking price, according to Realtor.com. A year ago that share was just 11%. The average home sold for less than its list price for the first time in over 17 months during the four-week period ended Aug. 28, according to a report by Redfin. Homes are simply not selling at the breakneck pace they were six months ago, when strong demand butted up against tight supply, bidding wars were the norm, and a seller could often get a signed contract in under a weekend....

Alors que son fiancé Luke Walker rompait son silence dans une vidéo Instagram déchirante, Alex Jacobs, le frère de Charlby Dean, voulait riposter à la théorie anti-boxe. Selon eux, l’actrice est décédée parce qu’elle était vaccinée contre le Covid-19. Ce serait le vaccin contre le coronavirus qui l’aurait tuée. Une thèse que son frère a démystifiée dans le magazine Rolling Stone. “Tant de questions ont encore besoin de réponses, mais une chose dont il est sûr, c’est que le déluge de commentaires en ligne affirmant que la mort de Dean était liée aux vaccins Covid – les messages qu’il a vus et lus – sont inutiles”, fait référence....
