I typically only share Israel news if it has significant implications for the diaspora. This does. Also DellaPergola is a brilliant demographer and does super cool stuff.

"An analysis released this week predicts that, within the next 10 years, #Israel could become the home for a majority of the world’s #Jews, a change which, according to the new report, will “redefine the meaning of #Jewishpeoplehood.”

On Wednesday, the Institute for Jewish #Policy #Research (#JPR) published “The #Jewish People in 2126: #Demography, Identity, and the Future of a Global #Minority,” a 22-page paper by #SergioDellaPergola, a professor emeritus and former chairman of #HebrewUniversity’s Avraham Harman Institute of Contemporary #Jewry who now serves as the #London-based #thinktank’s president for its #European #JewishDemography Unit."

How about a nice friendly interview with our buddy Mike Sandoval on Jefferson Public Radio, talking about Rockafairy, the arts non-profit he's managing in Medford, OR. Everybody should be doing this stuff.

die nyt postete “lebenstipps”, einen davon hab ich ganz hilfreich gefunden, vor allem für uns #jpr studierende und wollte den mit euch teilen:

"When you're stuck at something - writing the first lines of a letter, painting a picture, coming up with creative ideas at work - spend five minutes coming up with the worst ideas you can. Allowing your words to flow pushes you to focus on the more abstract or general idea before your overcritical instincts snuff it out."

Passend zu unserer #jpr Mediengeschichte Vorlesung gestern: Nachdem ein heimlich aufgenommenes Gespräch in die Öffentlichkeit geriet, zeigen die dort dokumentierten Aussagen von freiheitlichen Nationalratsabgeordneten Harald Stefan und Markus Tschank, wie die FPÖ zum österreichischen Medienmarkt stehen. Sie fordern eine Streichung der Förderung von Qualitätsmedien.
