23 Feet in 12 Minutes: The Death and Rebirth of New Orleans

August 18th, 2010 by Josh Neufeld  

What looks like an amazing one-woman play about New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina will debut next week at the New York Fringe Festival. Written by Mari Brown, 23 Feet in 12 Minutes: The Death and Rebirth of New Orleans follows six real-life New Orleans characters whose lives were irrevocably changed by the storm. Their raw and poignant stories are based on over sixty interviews conducted with Katrina survivors and New Orleans transplants. All six characters are brought to life by actress (and real-life post-Katrina volunteer) Deanna Pacelli, and directed by David Travis.

Sounds like Dan Baum mixed with The Civilians mixed with Anna Deavere-Smith (with maybe a little A.D. thrown in)! I can’t wait.

    Whether you are a new business owner or an experienced investor, you may have come across the terms liquidity provider and market maker. While the two are often used interchangeably, their roles are actually quite different. A liquidity provider vs market maker is an individual or firm that acts as an intermediary between brokers and other market participants. He or she accepts risk by taking a position on either side of a trade. Alternatively, he or she may also be a buyer or seller.

    In penalty kick online, you have to make an effort to kick the ball over the head of the goalkeeper for the other team in order to score a goal. Are you excited to score a touchdown?
