July 10 -
the dazzling planet Venus reaches a big milestone in the morning sky, as this
world displays its greatest illuminated extent. Venus, which is well-known for
its 8-year cycles, returns to its greatest illuminated extent in the morning
sky five times in eight years. Eight years from now – July 10, 2028 – expect to
see Venus at its brightest as the morning “star” and near the star Aldebaran on
the sky’s dome.
July 10-12 - Moon
and Mars from midnight until dawn
Four brilliant planets light up the July morning sky. Venus, the brightest, shines in your eastern sky, whereas Jupiter, the 2nd-brightest, lords over the southwest sky. Look for Saturn close to Jupiter, and for Mars roughly midway between Venus and Jupiter. If you search real hard, you might even catch a fifth planet, Mercury, below Venus and near the horizon.

7-1 - NASA astronaut Chris Cassidy set for next spacewalk days after losing a mirror in space
The spacewalk comes just a few days after Cassidy lost a mirror during an otherwise successful maintenance excursion outside the space station.
6-24 (Friday) - NASA astronaut loses mirror during spacewalk, adding to debris orbiting Earth
US Commander Chris Cassidy lost the mirror while stepping out of the International Space Station (ISS) for battery work.
Spacewalking astronauts wear a wrist mirror on each sleeve to get better views while working. The mirror is just 5-by-3 inches (7-by-12 centimeters), and together with its band has a mass of barely one-tenth of a pound (50 grams).
The mirror came loose in darkness. Cassidy inspected his spacesuit sleeve later in sunlight but didn’t see any clues that might explain how the mirror came off.
The rest of the six-hour spacewalk went swimmingly.
Their spacewalks are expected to continue through July before Behnken returns to Earth in August aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule. Behnken and Doug Hurley made history at the end of May with SpaceX’s first astronaut launch.
This was the seventh spacewalk for both men. Each has spent about 40 hours out in the vacuum of space.
As the spacewalk ended, Cassidy thanked the cleaning staff at Mission Control in Houston, kept especially busy during “this crazy, interesting time.”

Don’t Let Erdogan Erase
Turkey’s Christian Past
Hagia Sophia's interior
is seen as Erdogan addressed the nation on 29 May to celebrate the conquest of
Istanbul. Hagia Sophia, a Unesco world heritage site, was originally built as a
Greek Orthodox church. It was converted into a mosque after the conquest of
Istanbul by Mehmet the Conquerer in 1453, celebrated on 29 May every year. The
Greek Orthodox church traces its history to the Byzantine empire and its
Patriarch is still based in Istanbul, which was formerly known as
Constantinople.
Further kindling
national sentiments, Erdogan has reportedly instructed his advisory council to
hold the first prayers at the Hagia Sophia on July 15 to commemorate the
four-year anniversary of the 2016 failed coup attempt against his own
government.

that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national
origin in America. The law also required equal access to employment and public
places, solidified the right to vote, and ensured the desegregation of schools.
Prior to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, states continued
legalized discrimination, including ‘separate but equal’ segregation laws. The
bill passed the Senate after 83 days of debate, with President Lyndon B.
Johnson signing it into law just hours later on July 2, 1964.

During the Three Weeks,
from 17th of Tamuz to the 9th of Av, we commemorate the conquest of Jerusalem,
the destruction of the Holy Temple and the dispersion of the Jewish people.
Weddings and other
joyful events are not held during this period; like mourners, we do not cut our
hair, and various pleasurable activities are limited or proscribed. (The
particular mourning customs vary from community to community, so consult a
competent halachic authority for details.)
Citing the verse
(Isaiah 1:27) "Zion shall be redeemed with mishpat [Torah]
and its returnees with tzedakah," the Rebbe urged that we
increase in Torah study (particularly the study
of the laws of the Holy Temple) and charity during
this period.

World reacts to Turkey reconverting Hagia Sophia into a mosque
UNESCO,
Greece, Cyprus and church leaders among others express concern about changing
status of the sixth-century site.
Orthodox
Christians worldwide and based in Istanbul, said converting it into a mosque
would disappoint Christians and would "fracture" East and West. Vladimir
Dzhabarov, deputy head of the foreign affairs committee in the Russian upper
house of parliament, called the action "a mistake".
"Turning
it into a mosque will not do anything for the Muslim world. It does not bring
nations together, but on the contrary brings them into collision," he
said.
Erdogan (age
66 years) had previously stated that he would like to see Hagia Sophia open for
Muslim prayers on July 15, the anniversary of a failed coup attempt.
Hagia Sophia:
UNESCO deeply regrets the decision of the Turkish authorities, made without
prior discussion, and calls for the universal value of World Heritage to be
preserved
Hagia
Sophia ("Divine Wisdom") was consecrated in 537 as the imperial
church of the Byzantium of the Greek Orthodox Empire and was the largest church
in Christianity. After the conquest of Constantinople, today's Istanbul, by the
Turkish Ottomans, it was converted into a mosque and minarets in 1453. Republic
founder Mustafa Kemal "Ataturk" made it a museum in 1934. Hagia
Sophia and other historical buildings in Istanbul have been on the UNESCO list
of World Heritage Sites since 1985.
The
Islamic takeover of Hagia Sophia is a rebuff to Pope Francis' human fraternity
pact with Grand Imam of al-Azhar Ahmed al-Tayyeb signed in February 2019.
The Abu
Dhabi declaration calls for "the protection of places of worship —
synagogues, churches and mosques" as "a duty guaranteed by religions,
human values, laws and international agreements."
Emperor
Justinian the Great dedicated the Church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople to
the Wisdom of God in 537. Sultan Mehmed II conquered Constantinople and
converted the basilica into a mosque in 1453.

July 30, 2020 - The dystopian artwork by British artist Heather Phillipson, titled ”THE END” was unveiled Thursday on Trafalgar Square’s Fourth Plinth in London after being postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It is the 13th Fourth Plinth commission since the programme began in 1998, it is also the tallest to date, measuring 9.4m and weighing 9 tonnes, and follows on from The Invisible Enemy Should Not Exist (recreation of a protective deity destroyed by Islamic State in Iraq) by Michael Rakowitz. Both artists were selected in 2017. "Beauty will save the world — and ugliness will ruin it."
The End will stay in place until spring 2022.

June 3, 2020 – Now is the time for a 'great
reset'
We can
emerge from this crisis a better world, if we act quickly and jointly, writes
Professor Klaus Schwab. (Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman, World Economic Forum.) The changes we
have already seen in response to COVID-19 prove that a reset of our economic
and social foundations is possible.
The Great
Reset agenda would have three main components. The first would steer the market
toward fairer outcomes. The
second component of a Great Reset agenda would ensure that investments advance
shared goals, such as equality and sustainability.
The third
and final priority of a Great Reset agenda is to harness the innovations of the
Fourth Industrial Revolution to support the public good, especially by
addressing health and social challenges.
