Congrats on baby number 4, Ayda and Robbie

Congrats on baby number 4,
Ayda and Robbie
Ayda and Robbie Williams celebrated Valentine’s Day in a very
special way as they announced the birth of their fourth child.

“On this Valentine’s Day, we would like to celebrate love in
the most awesome way… Beau Benedict Enthoven Williams,” Ayda
wrote in an Instagram post, sharing the couple’s good news
with her followers.

“As with Coco, he is biologically ours, but born via our same
incredible surrogate. We are so blessed to have our healthy
son safely in our arms and are officially complete as a
family.”

Friends fans fuming as show
is dumped from Netflix on New
year’s Day in the US

Fans of Friends in the United States are having a meltdown
after the show is no longer available to stream on Netflix .

The 1990s sitcom, which had been available on Netflix since
Jan. 1, 2015, will disappear into the streaming ether until
May, when Friends will be available domestically exclusively
on WarnerMedia’s new HBO Max service.

According to reports, this will be a five-year deal estimated
to be worth $425 million.

WarnerMedia is believed to have previously paid a combined
$1.5 billion for The Big Bang Theory and Two And A Half Men.

Netflix, is widely credited with introducing the sitcom to a
new generation, making sure the obsession continues almost 30
years later.

Friends was so popular – second only to The Office – that
Netflix reportedly paid another $100 million in 2018 to keep
the rights for another year.

Fauda series 3 debut watched
by a million Israelis within
48 hours

The first episode of the third season of the hit Israeli
drama “Fauda” was viewed by Israelis about 1 million
times in the 48 hours after it first aired.

The Israeli drama, in Hebrew and Arabic, received a 12.6
percent share of viewers during its debut on Thursday
night, according to a trade website, citing the YES
satellite company.

“Fauda” focuses on a commando unit of the Israeli
Defence Forces whose members embed themselves in the
Palestinian community, gathering intelligence and
preventing terror attacks. Netflix has aired its first
two seasons with English subtitles. The third season
will be aired on Netflix sometime in 2020.
The third season reportedly will focus its attention on
Gaza.

The show was broadcast Thursday night on the YES Action
Channel and then was available on YES VOD and on the YES
YouTube channel.

Its creators are Avi Issacharoff, the Arab affairs
reporter for the English-language Times of Israel news
website, and actor Lior Raz, who stars in the show. Both
men served in the IDF unit depicted in the series.

Last week the series was ranked eighth on The New York
Times list of the 30 best international television shows

of the decade.

Legend of the month – Stephen
Hawking

Professor Stephen William Hawking was born on 8th January 1942
(exactly 300 years after the death of Galileo) in Oxford,

England. His parents’ house was in north London but during the
second world war Oxford was considered a safer place to have
babies. When he was eight his family moved to St. Albans, a
town about 20 miles north of London. At the age of eleven,
Stephen went to St. Albans School and then on to University
College, Oxford (1952); his father’s old college.
Stephen wanted to study mathematics although his father would
have preferred medicine. Mathematics was not available at
University College, so he pursued physics instead. After three
years and not very much work, he was awarded a first class
honours degree in natural science.

In October 1962, Stephen arrived at the Department of Applied
Mathematics and Theoretical Physics (DAMTP) at the University
of Cambridge to do research in cosmology, there being no-one
working in that area in Oxford at the time. His supervisor was
Dennis Sciama, although he had hoped to get Fred Hoyle who was
working in Cambridge. After gaining his PhD (1965) with his
thesis titled ‘Properties of Expanding Universes‘, he became,
first, a research fellow (1965) then Fellow for Distinction in
Science (1969) at Gonville & Caius college. In 1966 he won the
Adams Prize for his essay ‘Singularities and the Geometry of
Space-time’. Stephen moved to the Institute of Astronomy
(1968), later moving back to DAMTP (1973), employed as a
research assistant, and published his first academic book, The
Large Scale Structure of Space-Time, with George Ellis. During
the next few years, Stephen was elected a Fellow of the Royal
Society (1974) and Sherman Fairchild Distinguished Scholar at
the California Institute of Technology (1974). He became a
Reader in Gravitational Physics at DAMTP (1975), progressing
to Professor of Gravitational Physics (1977). He then held the
position of Lucasian Professor of Mathematics (1979-2009). The
chair was founded in 1663 with money left in the will of the
Reverend Henry Lucas who had been the Member of Parliament for
the University. It was first held by Isaac Barrow and then in
1669 by Isaac Newton.    From 2009, Stephen was employed as
the Dennis Stanton Avery and Sally Tsui Wong-Avery Director of

Research at DAMTP.

Professor Stephen Hawking worked on the basic laws which
govern the universe. With Roger Penrose he showed that
Einstein’s general theory of relativity implied space and time
would have a beginning in the Big Bang and an end in black
holes (1970). These results indicated that it was necessary to
unify general relativity with quantum theory, the other great
scientific development of the first half of the 20th century.
One consequence of such a unification that he discovered was
that black holes should not be completely black, but rather
should emit ‘Hawking’ radiation and eventually evaporate and
disappear (1974). Another conjecture is that the universe has
no edge or boundary in imaginary time. This would imply
that the way the universe began was completely determined by
the laws of science. Towards the end of his life, Stephen was
working with colleagues on a possible resolution to the black
hole information paradox, where debate centres around the
conservation of information.

His many publications included The Large Scale Structure of
Spacetime with G F R Ellis, General Relativity: An Einstein
Centenary Survey, with W Israel, and 300 Years of Gravitation,
with W Israel. Among the popular books Stephen Hawking
published are his best seller A Brief History of Time, Black
Holes and Baby Universes and Other Essays, The Universe in a
Nutshell, The Grand Design and My Brief History.

Professor Stephen Hawking received thirteen honorary degrees.
He was awarded CBE (1982), Companion of Honour (1989) and the
Presidential Medal of Freedom (2009). He was the recipient of
many awards, medals and prizes, most notably the Fundamental
Physics prize (2013), Copley Medal (2006) and the Wolf
Foundation prize (1988). He was a Fellow of the Royal Society
and a member of the US National Academy of Sciences and the
Pontifical Academy of Sciences.

In 1963 Stephen was diagnosed with ALS, a form of Motor

Neurone Disease, shortly after his 21st birthday. In spite of
being wheelchair-bound and dependent on a computerised voice
system for communication Stephen continued to combine family
life (he has three children and three grandchildren) with his
research into theoretical physics, in addition to an extensive
programme of travel and public lectures. Thanks to the Zero-G
Corporation, he experienced weightlessness in 2007 and always
hoped to make it into space one day.

Prince   Andrew   addresses
Jeffrey Epstein scandal for
first   time  while   Sarah
Ferguson publicly supports
him

Prince Andrew has spoken out about his links to convicted sex
offender, Jeffrey Epstein, in an interview with BBC
Newsnight‘s Emily Maitlis, which was aired on Saturday night.
Speaking at Buckingham Palace, the Queen’s son “categorically”
denied having any sexual contact with American woman Virginia
Giuffre, one of Jeffrey’s accusers, who was aged 17 at the
time. The royal told Emily: “It didn’t happen. I can
absolutely categorically tell you it never happened. I have no
recollection of ever meeting this lady, none whatsoever.”
Andrew also said that he would testify under oath if “push
came to shove” and that his lawyers advised him too.
Addressing Jeffrey’s attendance at Princess Beatrice’s 18th
birthday party at Windsor Castle in 2006, Andrew said that he
was unaware of an arrest warrant against the American financer
at the time. The royal answered: “At the time, I certainly
wasn’t aware when the invitation was issued, what was going on
in the United States. And I wasn’t aware until the media
picked up on it because he certainly never said anything about
it.”

When asked if he feels regret over his relationship with
Jeffrey, Andrew said that it was the wrong decision to visit

him in December 2010. He said: “Do I regret the fact that he
has quite obviously conducted himself in a manner unbecoming?
yes.” He added that he now regrets going to stay with Jeffrey.
“I stayed with him and that’s.. the bit that… as it were, I
kick myself for on a daily basis because it was not something
that was becoming of a member of the Royal Family and we try
and uphold the highest standards and practices and I let the
side down, simple as that.”

Andrew said that the allegations have been a “constant sore”
in the royal family. “We all knew him, and I think that if we
have a conversation about it, we are all left with the same
thing, what on earth happened? Or how did he get to where he
was, what did he do, how did he do it? And so it’s just a
constant ghaw. I mean this first came out in 2011 and it was a
surprise to all of us because the photographs were published
at a separate time to when I was there, and then we sort of
questioned what was going on and discussed it.”

The Duke also said that the Queen and the wider royal family
have been nothing but supportive. Andrew told Emily at the end
of the interview: “I think you’ve dragged out most of what is
required and I’m truly grateful for the opportunity that
you’ve given me to be able to discuss this with you.” The
royal’s ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, publicly shared her support
for Andrew after the interview was aired. She took to
Instagram to share a series of photos of him, which were
accompanied by a statement. Sarah wrote: “It is so rare to
meet people that are able to speak from their hearts with
honesty and pure real truth, that remain steadfast and strong
to their beliefs. Andrew is a true and real gentleman and is
stoically steadfast to not only his duty but also his kindness
and goodness of always seeing the best in people. I am deeply
supportive and proud of this giant of a principled man, that
dares to put his shoulder to the wind and stands firm with his
sense of honour and truth.”

The mother-of-two added: “For so many years he has gone about

his duties for Great Britain and The Monarch. It is time for
Andrew to stand firm now, and that he has, and I am with him
every step of the way and that is my honour. We have always
walked tall and strong, he for me and me for him. We are the
best examples of joint parenting, with both our girls and I go
back to my three C’s ..Communicate, Compromise, Compassion.”

Jack   Osbourne  Victim  of
Identity Theft … Someone
Jacked Me for $30,000!!!

Jack Osbourne felt something was amiss while poring over his credit
card statements … and he was proven right when he discovered he’d been
the target of identity theft. Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … the
red flags started flying for Jack when he saw just a few odd charges,
and it prompted him to start looking back at previous months’
statements. Good thing he did, ’cause lo and behold … he found a slew
of charges he never made.

We’re    told   Jack   contacted   law   enforcement   and   reported   the
unauthorized charges totaled around $30k. It appears the charge to his
card came from an employee of a monthly service Jack has scheduled at
his house. The LAPD is now investigating the case, though no arrests
have been made. We know getting hit for five figures worth o’ cash
flat-out sucks … but it beats the last time Jack fell victim to a
crime.

TMZ broke the story … Ozzy and Sharon’s son was brutally attacked back
in April after an apparent homeless man walked up to him on a coffee

shop patio and sucker punched him. The attacker was tracked down and
arrested for battery and assault. We’ll see if Jack has justice on his
side again with the credit card scammer.

Marilyn Monroe’s Menorah to
be auctioned

Even before her 1956 conversion, Marilyn Monroe, was attached
to Judaism.

One of the most famous photos of the screen legend, with her
white
skirt fluttering in a jet of subway exhaust, was snapped by
Garry

Winogrand. The picture was promotion for Billy Wilder’s “The
Seven Year
Itch” (1955). A year after the film’s debut, she married
playwright
Arthur Miller and became a Member of the Tribe. The union
didn’t last
long enough for the aforementioned itch to creep up on either
spouse,
but Monroe’s relationship with Judaism endured for the rest of
her life.

Last year a siddur owned and annotated by Monroe sold at
auction for $21,000. Now, another piece of Monroe’s spiritual
life will be on the block: Her menorah, gifted to her by
Miller’s parents, and among her belongings at the time of her
death in 1962.

Kestenbaum & Company, a New York auction house specializing in
Judaica linked to historical figures — including such unlikely
subjects
as Henry VIII to Mother Theresa — will take bids for the item
on
November 7.

The menorah, which is being sold by a private collector who
snagged
it at Christie’s 20 years ago, has been on view before,
included as part
of the Jewish Museum’s exhibit “Becoming Jewish: Warhol’s Liz
and
Marilyn;” as well as an exhibit at the Museum of American
Jewish History
in Philadelphia.

As far as menorahs go (and it’s technically a hanukkiah),
Monroe’s is a pretty standard metal affair — not at all
glamorous. Her personal rabbi, Robert E. Goldburg opined that
Monroe was attracted to “the rationalism of Judaism.”

“Marilyn Monroe’s spellbinding magnetism knows no bounds,” the
auction house company director, Daniel Kestenbaum, noted. “The
market
for memorabilia from the Golden Age of Hollywood goes from
strength to
strength, as does Fine Judaica, and as such this extraordinary
item has
remarkable provenance.”

This Hanukkah, you can pay tribute to the woman who, per Elton
John, lived her life like a “Candle in the Wind,” by lighting
her hanukkiah. But you’ll have to pay up first. Kestenbaum &
Company have listed a guide price of $100,000 – 150,000 for
the Marilyn menorah. With that price tag, you may not have
money left over for presents.

Legend of the month – Saana
Eishou

When it comes to stories of inspirational women, you can now
add the name Saana Eishou to that list. One of the many
thousands of individuals displaced by the trouble in Iraq,
Saana managed to find a way through the turmoil. Suffering
heart-breaking loss, Saana came out the other side and her
story captured hearts, so much so that Saana received the
Woman Of The Year Award from the Linda George Foundation in
February. Linda is a fellow Assyrian who has found a new life
in the US, mirroring Saana’s story.

Speaking to MUMSRU from her new home in Michigan,
Saana’s story is one of tragedy and hope of a better life,
coming out the other
side to where she is now.

Born and raised in Baghdad, Saana lived
with her parents, brothers and sisters in the bustling city.
As she got older
Saana found love, getting married and welcoming a child into
the world. She and
her husband continued to live happily in Baghdad with their
little one. Their
joy would soon double once they realised a second child was on
the way and a
little girl was born in 2005 to complete their happiness.
Unfortunately that
joy was short-lived as, not long after her daughter’s birth,
Saana’s husband
got kidnapped.

“One Monday night in 2005, not long after
my daughter was born my husband was kidnapped by one of the
criminal gangs that
were rampant in Baghdad at the time. It was a horrifying

experience which made
me feel scared and lonely. Thankfully my in-laws, who were
living with me at
the time, were on hand to help when they could. Having lost
two sons to the
conflict, one of whom was my husband, they understood my pain
and the need to
stick together in these dark times.” To this day Saana still
has no idea what
has become of her husband, whether he is alive or not, but
still holds out hope
that they can be reunited one day as a family.

Saana made the decision she was going to
leave Baghdad in order to make a new life in the US. While
getting ready to
make her way out of Iraq, Saana strove to make sure her
children’s lives remained as normal as possible, a normality
which still
exists.

“I experienced great support from my husband’s side of the
family as well as mine. My brothers and sisters and my mother
are always there
for me always checking up on me to see how I’m doing. My
husband’s cousins are
also very good to me and I’m so blessed to have such beautiful
souls around me
to keep me motivated.”

Despite
being a single mother, Saana’s determination nor resolve ever
waivered thanks
to one thing – her kids.

“My kids keep me strong. I always look at them and
see how they are growing and how they need a good role model
in their life. I
would like to say no matter the situation, and how hard times
may be, you have
to find hope. You have to seek something and it may be only
one thing, but find
what encourages you. Something or someone that will be proud
of you. In my
case, my hope was my kids. I never wanted them to feel any
different from other
kids so I always tried my hardest to be there for them.”

Saana and her children undertook the perilous journey out of
Baghdad
and, after much travelling, they came out the other side and
have settled in a
suburb of Michigan, Detroit where they have been happily
living for the past
fifteen years, where      Saana   has   been   working   as   a
cosmetologist, handling business
life and ‘mummy life’ as best she can, but admits it’s now
easier than it was.

“It was hard for me to take care of the kids when they were
younger,
but has gotten easier as they have grown up and gotten older.
The simple tasks
they couldn’t perform as younger children are now second
nature to them, giving
them a sense of independence. I now can go to work and simply
call them to see
how they’re doing and how everything is going.”

Earlier this year, Saana received an award which recognises
her
story and the courage and determination it took for her to
achieve her goal, an
achievement made all the sweeter because it was made possible
by her favourite
singer, fellow Assyrian Linda George. Like Saana, Linda left
Baghdad for a
better life, having already achieved success from a young age
as a singer. This
success has grown since, with Linda recording fourteen albums
and having worked
also as a model. She was awarded the Golden Voice by the
Assyrian American
National Federation in 1997. Speaking of her pride at becoming
Woman Of The
Year, Saana had this to say;

“Linda George has always been my favourite singer so to be
recognised by her is such an honour. I was going through a
very rough time and
her music has always been an inspiration to me. She has made
me feel so proud
of what I have accomplished and encouraged me to push further
for bigger and
better things.”

Finally, asked if she had a message for those still enduring
difficult times, both in her homeland and all over the world,
Saana has a clear
message. “No matter how difficult things get and no matter the
situation, never
lose hope. Seek that thing which encourages you and hold on to
it. In my case
it was my kids who inspire me daily. It makes me proud every

day to see how
they have grown and honoured I have been a good role model for
them.”
