    Hey I got explainations for this tredition. It has few speculations about when it started and why but there is two commen explantion that are used today to explain 1) it's meant to honor the deceased, in order to show other that, the grave is being visited by someone, and that people are taking care of it, also that could draw somone to the gravestone and than he will read about the deceased and than he will be rememberd by somone. also about that the choice of a stone instead of flowers is to give him somthing that common and yet last forever. 2)it is part of an older tredition of blocking caves and graves from animels so thay would not desecrate the honor of the dead. there are few more explanations for this some related to ghost even, but mainly it's those first two to show respect and to take care. anyway hope i helped and for any more Judaism questions im always here

  3. This has been, more than others, a really bad year, when it comes to losing senior iconic movie and TV people. Only this year we lost Kirk Douglas, Ennio Morricone, Max von Sydow, Olivia de Havilland, Carl Reiner, Joel Schumacher, Brian Dennehy, James Lipton, Fred Willard, Jerry Stiller, Regis Philbin. And there are still 4 months left.

  4. Well this is going to be a big blow (no pun intended ) to the condom industry, since we know the OG brings a spike in their profits.

  5. Long overdue. I was a childhood fan of the BDO in the 1990s and the very early 2000s but everything about that federation belongs in the Stone Age.

  6. There are (were, most are in Israel now) quite a few Jewish Ethiopians. About 2% of Israel’s population has recent Ethiopian ancestry.

  8. here's a good summary about the history of the "sex verification" issue... and it has quite some obscure and dark sides, too... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports#:~:text=Chromosome testing was introduced by,during the 1968 Summer Olympics.&text=A resolution was passed at,verification during the Olympic Games". meanwhile this is the full document about the current IOC rules about female hyperandrogenism (which is previous to the last WA rules)... https://stillmed.olympic.org/Documents/Commissions_PDFfiles/Medical_commission/2012-06-22-IOC-Regulations-on-Female-Hyperandrogenism-eng.pdf

  9. Problem is there are no universally agreed rules, each sport must make their own and then defend them in court.

  10. After the 24th it most probably will be singles players who have already qualified. The only situation in which more doubles players will get a chance is if the 86 spots for a gender are not filled. But since 64 spots will be filled by singles we should assume after 24 teams it will be singles players who will complete the draw.

    Some dramactic line judge will collapse on her own in the Medvedev/Rublev match so both Russians can get disqualified.
