Mrs Parker died suddenly in October. She and Mr Parker lived in a Victorian house next to ours, and Mr Parker was my piano teacher. He commuted to Wall Street, where he was a securities analyst, but he had studied at Juilliard and gave lessons on the side – for the pleasure of it, not for money. His only students were me and the church organist.
The word “tragic” was mentioned in connection with her death. She and Mr Parker were in the middle of their middle age, and neither of them had ever been seriously ill. It was heart failure, and unexpected. My parents went to see Mr Parker as soon as they got the news, since they took their responsibilities as neighbours seriously, and two days later they took me to pay a formal condolence call. 
I loved the Parkers’ house. It was a Victorian house, and was shaped like a wedding cake. The living-room was round, and all the walls curved. The third floor was a tower. Every five years the house was painted chocolate brown, which faded gradually to the colour of weak tea. The front-wall window was a stained-glass picture of a fat baby holding a bunch of roses.
On Wednesday afternoons, Mr Parker came home on an early train, and I had my lesson. Mr Parker’s teaching method never varied. He never scolded or corrected. The first fifteen minutes were devoted to a warm-up in which I could play anything I liked. Then Mr Parker played the lesson of the week. His playing was terrifically precise, but his eyes became dreamy and unfocused. Then I played the same lesson, and after that we worked on the difficult passages, but basically he wanted me to hear my mistakes. After that, we sat in the solarium and discussed the next week’s lesson. Mr Parker usually played a record and talked in detail about the composer, his life and times. Mrs Parker used to leave us a tray of cookies and lemonade, cold in the summer and hot in the winter. When the cookies were gone, the lesson was over and I left, passing the Victorian child in the hallway.

Thanksgiving Day: An American Tradition.

Thanksgiving is an American holiday that points back to the days of the pioneers and the colonization of the new country called the United States of America. History:
In the 1700s when the pioneers first arrived to the New World they were overwhelmed by disease, lack of food and shelter, and conflict with Native Americans. However, after a period of time they grew accustomed to these challenges and even managed to create a friendly relationship with the natives. There came a point where certain Native American groups helped the new Americans plant crops, raise animals, and build shelter.
The first Thanksgiving was a day during harvest time when the pioneers and the Native Americans joined together to enjoy a feast of the grains, vegetables, and meats that they had raised. It was a time of celebration for their survival up until that point as well as a bright future that lay ahead of them.

ICEBERG A68a


   An enormous iceberg that is heading toward the island of South Georgia in the southern Atlantic Ocean has broken up into three large chunks. Scientists from NASA have been tracking the berg - dubbed A68a - for several weeks. It actually calved from the Larsen C ice shelf in 2017 and has been floating northwards ever since. In recent weeks, a fast-moving stream of water known as the Southern Antarctic Circumpolar Current Front has put the chunks on a trajectory that means they could run aground off the coast of South Georgia. Scientists say the three fragments are roughly 2,600 square kilometres in size. The submerged part of one chunk is 106 metres at its thickest point.


   The sheer bulk of the three iceberg chunks poses a serious threat to the wildlife of South Georgia. There could be an environmental catastrophe waiting to happen. If the three mini icebergs collide with the seabed, they could obstruct penguins and seals from foraging for fish. They could also block the route between penguin colonies and their feeding grounds during the breeding season. Scientists worry the underside of the fragments could grind the seabed near South Georgia and disrupt delicate underwater ecosystems. This could be exacerbated by the introduction of a mass of fresh water to the ecosystems as the stationary fragments melt over the summer months.

“He was never the same after Chris’s death”: How Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington, 41, hanged himself on birthday of late friend Chris Cornell – despite friends believing he “was in a good place.”

Friends and family of Linkin Park lead singer Chester Bennington are in absolute “shock” over the rock star's apparent suicide as it's revealed they believed he “was in a good place in his life”.
The 41-year-old was found dead in his home in Palos Verdes near Los Angeles shortly before 9am on Thursday.
A Los Angeles County coroner confirmed they were investigating Bennington's death as an apparent suicide but no additional details were available. 
Law enforcement officials say Bennington hanged himself in his bedroom and he was home alone at the time, according to TMZ. He was found upstairs by his housekeeper.
'”Chester was one of the brightest and most talented people on this planet, and he lived life to the fullest,” a close friend told RadarOnline, adding that the Bennington suffered from demons. 
Bennington's suicide came on the day of his late lifelong friend Chris Cornell's birthday. The Soundgarden rocker killed himself in May by hanging. Cornell would have turned 53.
“Chester and Chris were so close, and he was never the same after Chris’s death,” the friend told Radar.
The friend of Bennington's also noted that Cornell's death deeply affected Bennington, who also struggled with “addiction issues”.
“But everyone thought that he had it licked. He seemed to be at a good place in his life. It is just so tragic and there are no words,” the friend told Radar. 
 
His bandmates were said to be blindsided by Chester's suicide with sources telling TMZ they had plans to attend a photo shoot in Hollywood later on Thursday. 
 One Linkin Park band member went to pick him up on Thursday morning but arrived to find police already at his home.
The singer had a history of drug and alcohol abuse. He was married and is survived by his six children from two relationships. 
Chester had flown back to Los Angeles on Wednesday night. He had been spending time in Arizona with his wife Talinda, but she remained behind. 
Chester, as well as Linkin Park guitarist Brad Delson, had performed Leonard Cohen's “Hallelujah” for the crowd of mourners at Cornell's funeral, many of whom were moved to tears. 
Linkin Park was on tour following the release of the band's latest album One More Light. They had a show at New York's Citi Field scheduled for next week with Blink 182. 
They played together for the last time on July 7 in Birmingham, England. 
The band released its newest music video just two hours before news of his death emerged on Thursday. 
Bennington was married to his second wife Talinda, a former Playboy model, for 12 years. He divorced his first wife Samantha Marie Olit in 2005 after nine years of marriage. 
The frontman had been open about his history of substance abuse and admitted in one interview in 2011 that he had once been a “full blown, raging alcoholic”. 
He admitted to smoking pot after his parents divorced when he was 11. The drug use then spiraled into cocaine and meth. 
Bennington had also previously spoken out about being sexually abused as a seven-year-old, saying he had been molested by an older male friend.
“If I think back to when I was really young, to when I was being molested, to when all these horrible things were going on around me, I shudder,” he said in one interview. 
He went to rehab for his drug and alcohol addiction after marrying his second wife and said he really began to change in 2007. 
In a 2011 interview, he said he was sober.
“I don't drink. I choose to be sober now. I have drunk over the last six years, but I just don't want to be that person anymore.” 
Linkin Park's sixth and latest album, One More Light, jumped to the top of the Billboard chart when it was released in May. [...]
