  • 18 December, 2008. New York, NY. Choir director Gregg Breinberg, 36, directs his fifth grade students from the Graniteville School chorus in Staten Island, at the Kitchen Club restaurant for a Bruce Weber private party in Manhattan, NY. <br />
<br />
The story of P.S. 22 Chorus began in the fall of 1999 when Breinberg arrived at the 1,250 student K-5 elementary school after being excised from his first music teaching job at nearby P.S. 60 in Staten Island.   Unfortunately for Mr. Breinberg, himself a Staten Island native, P.S. 22 didn't have any available music jobs so he found himself in the unfamiliar position of second grade teacher.<br />
<br />
"It was never my intention to be a classroom teacher," Breinberg dressed casually in a pair of blue jeans and grey sweatshirt, said.  "In the absence of a music job, I used music to teach second grade. Everything I taught from math to english, I taught with music."<br />

<br />
Mother Teresa, also known as Blessed Teresa of Calcutta, was an Albanian Roman Catholic nun and missionary. She founded the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman Catholic religious congregation, whose members must adhere to the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, as well as the vow to give wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor. Shortly after she died in 1997, Pope John Paul II waived the usual five-year waiting period and allowed the opening of the process to declare her sainthood. She was beatified in 2003. A second miracle was credited to her intercession by Pope Francis, in December 2015, paving the way for her to be recognised as a saint by the Roman Catholic Church. Her canonisation is scheduled for September 4th 2016, a day before the 19th anniversary of her death.

  • NAPLES, ITALY - 8 DECEMBER 2017: Amateur singer Antonio Borrelli, aka Topolino (Mickey Mouse), sings a song quoting Pizzaiuolo Gino Sorbillo, here on his balcony next Pizzeria Gino Sorbillo in Naples, Italy, on December 8th 2017.<br />
<br />
On Thursday December 7th 2017, UNESCO added the art of Neapolitan “Pizzaiuolo” to its list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.<br />
<br />
The art of the Neapolitan ‘Pizzaiuolo’ is a culinary practice comprising four different phases relating to the preparation of the dough and its baking in a wood-fired oven, involving a rotatory movement by the baker. The element originates in Naples, the capital of the Campania Region, where about 3,000 Pizzaiuoli now live and perform. Pizzaiuoli are a living link for the communities concerned. There are three primary categories of bearers – the Master Pizzaiuolo, the Pizzaiuolo and the baker – as well as the families in Naples who reproduce the art in their own homes. The element fosters social gatherings and intergenerational exchange, and assumes a character of the spectacular, with the Pizzaiuolo at the centre of their ‘bottega’ sharing their art.<br />
<br />
In Naples, pizza makers celebrated the victory by giving away free pizzas.
