Archaeologists conducting excavations at the site of a church have unearthed a marble shrine containing a relic that they believe may be tied to Moses receiving the Ten Commandments.

The shrine contained a 1,500-year-old ivory box adorned with Christian motifs, according to an Innsbruck University press release.

The item was discovered by archaeologists from Innsbruck University in southern Austria under an altar inside a chapel at the summit of Burgbichl, a small hill, in the municipality of Irschen.  

Since 2016, archaeologists from the University of Innsbruck have been carrying out excavations in Irschen, which is a part of the Carinthian Drava Valley.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

After a packed, overly scheduled workweek, I love the slow, relaxed tempo of Friday night Shabbos dinner with my family and friends.

A picture (a video, in fact) is worth a thousand words. Consider one of Howard McGhee around 1966. It is at the Newport Jazz Festival All Stars, and an unlikely group of trumpeters is doing a bop tune at metronome-busting speed. The group includes Bobby Hackett and Ruby Braff (unlikely, no?). Hackett is delightedly laughing. Braff walks off into the wings sulking. Young Jimmy Owens has just upstaged Howard McGhee, to put it mildly. The guy selected to teach Owens a lesson on the second chorus is Dizzy Gillespie. McGhee, in the late 1940s known to be a Top Gun of the trumpet, does not even bother to play. He does enjoy Gillespie, for they are old friends. And Gillespie played, well, like Gillespie. By the 1970s, some music writers will refer to Howard McGhee as "forgotten." Sic transit Gloria Mundi. From Downbeat Poll winner (1949) to comeback player (early 1960s) to forgotten (1970s). The jazz life was never easy, and McGhee, a brilliant player, was at Ground Zero when it all blew up, fueled by race, drugs and a little too much time around Charlie Parker. It is another of those dreadful stories. It does not exactly have a happy ending, but it turned out better than McGhee would have thought possible in the early 1950s. This recording is an artefact of McGhee's hard-won rehabilitation. And it is a very good one. Mostly, it swings like mad.
