It'd be the Ukraine, Southern Poland and parts of Poland proper, Belarus, the areas around Romania. The emotional contact is distinctive. Basically, it's instrumental versions of Hasidic vocal music. So it's coming directly out of the religious milieu. In fact, most of the great klezmer musicians came from Hasidic families and were Hasidic.

Dynamic resistance training (DRT) and isometric handgrip training (IHT) have been recommended for hypertension treatment, but their effects on ABP have been poorly studied.

Meg Medina: My family were real storytellers, just naturally. They, I think, processed their trauma through story. So, they process like their leaving their country and their family. I was filled with stories of what Cuba looked like, and who their neighbors had been and the time that So-and-So, did this. It was just a constant storytelling in the family. And for all kinds of purposes--sometimes to advise me in life.
