John Weissrock plays and conducts O How Amiable by Ralph Vaughan Williams
John Weissrock (October 13, 1938 - September 9, 2018) was born in Upper Sandusky, Ohio, and graduated from the College-Conservatory of Music in Cincinnati. His teachers were Wayne Fisher (organ) and John Quincy Bass (piano). John was the winner of the 1959-60 National Organ Competition at First Presbyterian Church, Fort Wayne, Indiana. He moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to take the position of organist and choirmaster at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, and lived in Milwaukee the rest of his life. The pictures show the three churches to which John devoted the greater part of his time and energies: St. Paul’s, the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, and the Church of the Gesu, on the campus of Marquette University.
Rest in peace.
O how amiable are Thy dwellings, O Lord of hosts!
My soul hath a desire and longing to enter into the courts of the Lord;
my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.
Yea, the sparrow hath found her an house, and the swallow a nest,
where she may lay her young;
even thy altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will be alway praising thee. (Psalm 84)
The glorious majesty of the Lord our God be upon us;
Prosper thou the work of our hands upon us;
O prosper thou our handiwork. (Psalm 90)
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
our shelter from the stormy blast,
and our eternal home. (Isaac Watts’s Psalms of David, Psalm 90, First Part, I, alt.)

Muslim Communities Troubled By Travel Ban Ruling
(26 Jun 2017) The Supreme Court is letting the Trump Administration enforce its 90-day ban on travelers from six mostly Muslim countries. Muslim Communities in Wisconsin and Milwaukee say they are troubled by the decision.
Janan Najeeb (jah-NAN’ nah’-GEEB) is President of the Milwaukee Muslim Women's Coalition.
She says she is troubled by the decision, calling Trump’s travel ban racist.
She says it feels like a slap in the face to the community, a day after their Ramadan holiday ended.
While in Minnesota, Amir Malik (pronounced ah-MEER’ MAL’-ick), civil rights director of the Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, at the Muslim advocacy group’s office in Minneapolis, says says while the court’s action is limited, it still will affect Muslims who have been waiting for years to legally enter the U.S.
He also speaks of how the travel ban will encourage recruitment by Islamic extremists and continue to foster prejudice against Muslims already living in the U.S.
The court did leave one category of foreigners protected, those “with a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States,” the court said in an unsigned opinion.
The justices will hear arguments in the case in October.
Trump said last week that the ban would take effect 72 hours after being cleared by courts.

Violent Femmes
Violent Femmes is an American alternative rock band from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, initially active from 1980 to 1987 and again from 1988 to 2009. As of 2013, they are active again. The band has performed as a trio, including: singer, guitarist and songwriter Gordon Gano, bassist Brian Ritchie, and three drummers, Victor DeLorenzo (1980–1993, 2002–2009 and 2013), Guy Hoffman (1993–2002) and Brian Viglione (2013–present).
The Violent Femmes have released eight studio albums and fifteen singles during the course of their career. The band found immediate success with the release of their self-titled debut album in early 1983. Featuring many of their well-known songs, including Blister in the Sun, Kiss Off, Add It Up and Gone Daddy Gone, Violent Femmes became the band's biggest-selling album and was eventually certified platinum by the RIAA. Violent Femmes went on to become one of the most successful alternative rock bands of the 1980s, selling over 9 million albums by 2005. After the release of their third album The Blind Leading the Naked (1986), the band's future was uncertain and they split up in 1987, when Gano and Ritchie went solo. However, they regrouped a year later, releasing the album 3 (1989). Since then, Violent Femmes' popularity continued to grow, especially in the United States where the songs Nightmares and American Music cracked the top five on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Douglas MacArthur (26 January 1880 – 5 April 1964) was an American five-star general and Field Marshal of the Philippine Army. He was Chief of Staff of the United States Army during the 1930s and played a prominent role in the Pacific theater during World War II. He received the Medal of Honor for his service in the Philippines Campaign, which made him and his father Arthur MacArthur Jr. the first father and son to be awarded the medal. He was one of only five to rise to the rank of General of the Army in the US Army, and the only one conferred the rank of field marshal in the Philippine Army.
Raised in a military family in the American Old West, MacArthur was valedictorian at the West Texas Military Academy, and First Captain at the United States Military Academy at West Point, where he graduated top of the class of 1903. During the 1914 United States occupation of Veracruz, he conducted a reconnaissance mission, for which he was nominated for the Medal of Honor. In 1917, he was promoted from major to colonel and became chief of staff of the 42nd (Rainbow) Division. In the fighting on the Western Front during World War I, he rose to the rank of brigadier general, was again nominated for a Medal of Honor, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross twice and the Silver Star seven times.
From 1919 to 1922, MacArthur served as Superintendent of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, where he attempted a series of reforms. His next assignment was in the Philippines, where in 1924 he was instrumental in quelling the Philippine Scout Mutiny. In 1925, he became the Army's youngest major general. He served on the court martial of Brigadier General Billy Mitchell and was president of the American Olympic Committee during the 1928 Summer Olympics in Amsterdam. In 1930, he became Chief of Staff of the United States Army. As such, he was involved in the expulsion of the Bonus Army protesters from Washington, D.C. in 1932, and the establishment and organization of the Civilian Conservation Corps. He retired from the US Army in 1937 to become Military Advisor to the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines.
MacArthur was recalled to active duty in 1941 as commander of United States Army Forces in the Far East. A series of disasters followed, starting with the destruction of his air forces on 8 December 1941, and the invasion of the Philippines by the Japanese. MacArthur's forces were soon compelled to withdraw to Bataan, where they held out until May 1942. In March 1942, MacArthur, his family and his staff left nearby Corregidor Island in PT boats and escaped to Australia, where MacArthur became Supreme Commander, Southwest Pacific Area. Upon his arrival, MacArthur gave a speech in which he famously promised I shall return to the Philippines. After more than two years of fighting in the Pacific, he fulfilled that promise. For his defense of the Philippines, MacArthur was awarded the Medal of Honor. He officially accepted Japan's surrender on 2 September 1945 aboard USS Missouri anchored in Tokyo Bay, and oversaw the occupation of Japan from 1945 to 1951. As the effective ruler of Japan, he oversaw sweeping economic, political and social changes. He led the United Nations Command in the Korean War with initial success; however, the controversial invasion of North Korea provoked Chinese intervention. Following a series of major defeats he was removed from command by President Harry S. Truman on 11 April 1951. He later became chairman of the board of Remington Rand.
