The abouna get a call on his mobile inside the church of Saint Antony. Despite the thick adobe walls, we could still get cell reception here. Yes, the monks have cell phones. Why wouldn't they?
The church was recently restored inside. The icons are stunning. Beautiful examples of medieval iconography of the Coptic art. Underneath this church is the oldest Coptic cell in the world. It dates to the 4th century AD.

Guido Imbens is a scientist who builds bridges—between data and understanding, between correlation and causation, between abstract mathematical theory and real-world application. In a world flooded with information, he has spent his career developing methods to extract meaningful answers to some of the most pressing questions in economics and social science: What happens if we raise the minimum wage? Does a new medical treatment actually improve health outcomes? How do we measure the effect of education on future earnings?
Born in the Netherlands, Imbens trained as an econometrician but became, in many ways, a statistician at heart. He has a precise, almost engineering-like approach to problems, which has served him well in his work on causal inference—the study of how to determine cause-and-effect relationships from data. Alongside Joshua Angrist, his longtime collaborator, Imbens developed methods for using natural experiments—situations where external forces create conditions similar to a randomized trial—to uncover causal relationships. Their work, foundational to modern empirical research, earned them the 2021 Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences.
When I photographed Imbens at his home near Stanford on February 20, 2025, I was struck by the world he had built around him. Books lined the shelves—more than just professional tomes on econometrics, but works of history, philosophy, and literature. The walls were filled with photographs, all his own, documenting the life of his family with the same dedication and care he applies to his research. Outside, among the quiet order of an academic’s world, was something unexpected: chickens. He raises them in his backyard, tending to them with the same quiet, methodical attention he gives to data and equations.
His wife, Susan Athey, a celebrated economist in her own right, was there as well. The two share not just a home but a lifetime of intellectual collaboration, an ongoing conversation about economics, technology, and policy. Though Imbens is deeply analytical, he is also warm and engaging, his penetrating eyes suggesting a mind always at work, always questioning. There is no arrogance in his brilliance—just a deep curiosity and a willingness to engage, to explain, to refine.
Though he is now well into an illustrious career, his work remains as relevant as ever. As machine learning and AI become dominant forces in research, Imbens is at the forefront of integrating these new tools with rigorous causal reasoning. His focus remains unchanged: ensuring that in our rush to analyze data, we do not lose sight of the deeper question—what causes what, and how can we be sure?
Even outside his formal research, Imbens has a scientist’s impulse to observe, to document. His photographs, like his econometric models, are about capturing relationships—not just moments in time, but the threads that connect them. His home, his research, his life’s work—all reflect the same principle: the search for clarity in a world of complexity.

today was the viewing for my piano teacher's husband. i stood in line for over an hour because pretty much everyone loves her/her family, so the crowd was huge... this was at the second viewing, too. all these people that knew each other, laughing and talking and smiling, and me all alone just sitting there thinking about people dying and disappearing from your life and the void that they leave...
i saved this in my phone while i was waiting:
people are talking and pushing and hurrying and happy, and i just don't understand it because jamie died, someone is dead. isn't this a little disrespectful? stop gossiping for five minutes and just sit here and think, think about karen and how her life will never be the same because jamie is dead. just slow down for a second. just slow down.
a woman is standing so close behind me that she bumped into me when she turned around.
jamie never gets to stand in a line again.
you're all such fucking pigs.

U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill listened to ideas and concerns, and answered questions from Missourians yesterday at a public town hall meeting in Parkville—one of eight public town halls she is holding across the Show-Me state this week.
McCaskill has hosted public town hall meetings in Missouri throughout her time in the U.S. Senate.
“One of the most important parts of my job is listening to Missourians about their ideas and concerns, getting their input, and holding myself accountable face-to-face—and while we may not always agree on everything, I find we can always respect each other,” said McCaskill, who grew up in rural Missouri. “I wanted the folks at today’s town hall, and across the state, to know that the people they elected to represent them truly hear them, and stand ready to take their ideas to Washington on how we can increase bipartisan results, ensure access to health care and quality education for all Missourians.”
McCaskill is hosting eight public town halls this week in Buchanan County, Callaway County, Greene County, Jefferson County, Marion County, New Madrid County, Phelps County, and Platte County.
Public town halls with Missourians have been a hallmark of McCaskill’s time in the Senate, including tours across the state. During debate over the Affordable Care Act—at a time of heightened demonstrations against the law—McCaskill held a series of highly publicized town halls, including in traditionally conservative areas of Missouri, to hear directly from Missourians about their concerns and respond to criticisms. In 2014, McCaskill logged more than 1,000 miles around the state on her “McCaskill on Main Street” series of public town halls.
McCaskill has also toured the state with town halls aimed at military veterans and seniors—and has hosted individual town halls, such as one she hosted last year with then-U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack focused on the opioid epidemic.
About two dozen McMinnville High School engineering students toured the South Yamhill River Bridge Replacement Project in McMinnville this spring for a real-life look at some of the things they’d learned in class.
This project replaces the 1951 South Yamhill River Bridge on a busy route into and out of McMinnville. The new bridge will be 48 feet wide, compared to the old bridge at 35 feet, and it will better accommodate large trucks, bicycles and pedestrians.
Construction began in 2021, and we expect to finish the project by the end of 2024

A full interview with the Israeli painter Raphael Perez (in Hebrew Rafi Peretz) about the ideas behind the naive painting, resume, personal biography and CV
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about your work process as a naive painter?
Answer: I choose the most iconic and famous buildings in every city and town that are architecturally interesting and have a special shape and place the iconic buildings on boulevards full of trees, bushes, vegetation, flowers.
Question: How do you give depth in your naive paintings?
Answer: To give depth to the painting, I build the painting with layers of vegetation, after those low famous buildings, followed by a tall avenue of trees, and behind them towers and skyscrapers, in the sky I sometimes put innocent signs of balloons, kites.
A recurring motif in some of my paintings is the figure of the painter who is in the center of the boulevard and paints the entire scene unfolding in front of him, also there are two kindergarten teachers who are walking with the kindergarten children with the state flags that I paint, and loving couples hugging and kissing and family paintings of mother, father and child walking in harmony on the boulevard.
Question: Raphael Perez What characterizes your naive painting?
Answer: Most naive paintings have the same characteristics
(Definition as it appears in Wikipedia)
• Tells a simple story to absorb from everyday life, usually with humans.
• The representation of the painter's idealization to reality - the mapping of reality.
• Failure to maintain perspective - especially details even in distant details.
• Extensive use of repeating patterns - many details.
• Warm and bright colors.
• Sometimes the emphasis is on outlines.
• Most of the characters are flat, lack volume
• No interest in texture, expression, correct proportions
• No interest in anatomy.
• There is not much use of light and shadow, the colors create a three-dimensional effect.
I find these definitions to be valid for all my naive paintings
Question: Raphael Perez Why do you mainly choose the city of Tel Aviv?
Answer: I was born in Jerusalem, the capital city which I love very much and also paint,
I love the special Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv, the ornamental buildings that were built a century ago in the 1920s and 1930s, the beautiful boulevards, towers and modern skyscrapers give you the feeling of the hustle and bustle of a large metropolis and there are quite a few low and tall buildings that are architecturally fascinating in their form the special one
Also, the move to Tel Aviv, which is the capital of culture, freedom, and secularism, allowed me to live my life as I chose, to live in a relationship with a man, Jerusalem, which is a traditional city, it is more complicated to live a homosexual life, also, the art world takes place mainly in the city of Tel Aviv, and it is possible that from a professional point of view, this allows I can support myself better in Tel Aviv than in any other city in Israel.
Question: raphael perez are the paintings of the city of Tel Aviv different from the paintings of the city of Jerusalem
Answer: Most of the paintings of Jerusalem have an emphasis on the color yellow, gold, the color of the old city walls, the subjects I painted in Jerusalem are mainly a type of idealization of a peaceful life between Jews and Arabs and paintings that deal with the Jewish religious world, a number of paintings depict all shades of the currents of Judaism of today
In contrast, the Tel Aviv paintings are more colorful, with skyscrapers, the sea, balloons and more secular motifs
Question: Raphael Perez Tell us about which buildings and their architects you usually choose in your city paintings
Answer: My favorite buildings are those that have a special shape that anyone can recognize and are the symbols of the city and you will give several examples:
In the city of Tel Aviv, my favorite buildings are: the opera building with its unusual geometric shape, the Yisrotel tower with its special head, the Hail Bo Shalom tower that for years was the symbol of the tallest building in Tel Aviv, the Levin house that looks like a Japanese pagoda, the burgundy-colored Nordeau hotel with the special dome at the end of the building, A pair of Alon towers with the special structure of the sea, Bauhaus buildings typical of Tel Aviv with the special balconies and the special staircase, the Yaakov Agam fountain in Dizengoff square appears in a large part of the paintings, many towers that are in the stock exchange complex, the Aviv towers and other tall buildings on Ayalon, in some of the paintings I took plans An outline of future buildings that need to be built in the city and I drew them even before they were built in reality,
In the paintings of Jerusalem, I mainly chose the area of the Old City and East Jerusalem, a painting of the walls of the Old City, the Western Wall, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, the El Akchea Mosque, the Tower of David, most of the famous churches in the city, the right hand of Moses, in most of the paintings the Jew is wearing a blue shirt with a red male cord I was in the youth movement and the Arab with a galabia, and in the paintings of the religious public then, Jews with black suits and white shirts, tallitas, kippahs, special hats, synagogues and more
I also created three paintings of the city of Haifa and one painting of Safed
In the Haifa paintings I drew the university, the Technion, the famous Egged Tower, the Sail Tower, well-known hotels, of course the Baha'i Gardens and the Baha'i Temple, Haifa Port and the boats and other famous buildings in the city
Question: Have you created series of other cities from around the world?
Answer: I created series of New York City with all the iconic and famous buildings such as: the Guggenheim Museum, the famous skyscrapers - the Chrysler Building, the Empire State Building, Lincoln Center, the famous synagogue in the city, the Statue of Liberty, the flags of the United States and other famous buildings
Two paintings of London and all its famous sites, Big Ben, famous monuments, the Ferris wheel, Queen Elizabeth and her family, the double bus, the famous public telephone, palaces, famous churches, well-known monuments
I created 4 naive paintings of cities in China, a painting of Shanghai, two paintings of the city of Suzhou and a painting of the World Park in the city of Beijing... I chose the famous skyline of Shanghai with all the famous towers, the famous promenade, temples and old buildings, two Paintings of the city of Suzhou with the famous canals, bridges, special gardens, towers and skyscrapers of the city

The NCDMV Gets Real at the 150th N.C. State Fair
The NC Division of Motor Vehicles informed fairgoers about N.C. REAL ID and issued more than 420 driver licenses, learner’s permits, identification cards and REAL IDs at the 2017 North Carolina State Fair.
In their usual location between the Dorton Arena and Jim Graham Building, the DMV Mobile RV, housing a two-person mobile driver license office, was available Monday through Saturday for duplicate and renewal services. More than 50 DMV educated the public on N.C. REAL ID, the new, single form of identification for flying and visiting federal facilities, military bases and nuclear power plants. The staff answered questions about driver licenses, ID cards, vehicle registrations and titles, vehicle theft and identity fraud, as well as services that can be handled online without visiting a driver license office or license plate agency.
Commissioner Torre Jessup joined the team on opening day to educate the public on REAL ID. For more information on REAL ID, visit NCREALID.gov.
