<p>MATZOBALL hosting largest online speed dating event ever held</p>
<p>NEW YORK, New York – (December 17, 2020) – MATZOBALL has shattered the Guinness World Record for the largest speed dating event. The MATZOBALL Online, to be held on Christmas Eve 2020, already has 1154 people registered to participate, with many more expected to register before the event begins. The event starts at 9 p.m. on Christmas Eve and will be held virtually in 23 cities across five countries. The virtual record is the first for MATZOBALL, which has held the dating party annually since 1987.</p>
<p>“This event has been so well received,” explains Andrew Rudnick, from Mazel Events, LLC and founder of the MATZOBALL. “We are all excited that this will be the largest and most successful speed dating event the world has ever seen. Not only can people get an opportunity to meet their soul mate, but they can also be a fun part of making this historical record.”</p>
<p>The current largest speed dating event, according to Guinness World Records, took place in Dublin, Ireland, on February 14, 2019. The number of people who participated in the Valentine’s Day speed dating event was 964. The MATZOBALL Online speed dating event has already surpassed that number in terms of how many people have registered to take part. The number will continue to climb as more people register each day leading up to and on the event day.</p>
<p>Each year, MATZOBALL holds its famous Jewish singles holiday party, giving people a chance to meet others. Some people have met for just that one fun-filled night, while others have developed long-lasting romantic relationships and friendships. Each year, there are over 400,000 people who attend the MATZOBALL holiday party.</p>
<p>This year, due to the pandemic, the event will be held online using special technology that will allow thousands of people to engage in a speed dating event at one time. While the speed dating event will be held online, participants are encouraged to still dress up to put forth their best image. The event will feature Regional Video Speed Dating, which will include pre-screened eligible singles. All of the speed dates will be held in a one-on-one setting.</p>
<p>The MATZOBALL Online will be broken down by region and age range. Each person who registers for the speed dating will get a minimum of 20-30, 5-minute dates. During that time, they will have the opportunity to choose whom they felt they had a connection with. When there is a mutual connection shared, the two people will be notified via email 15 minutes after the event ends. This will give them an opportunity to explore the connection more.</p>
<p>Tickets to the event are $35, plus a $5 processing fee per person for the Christmas Eve event, and $55, plus a $5 processing fee for the professional’s speed dating event on Christmas Day. A combination ticket to participate in both events can be purchased for $75, plus a $5 processing fee. Age ranges people can choose from are 21-27, 28-35, 36-49, and 50+. MATZOBALL will also be hosting a LGBTQ Jewish speed dating event on December 24, 2020, at 9 p.m. Space is limited, and tickets are expected to sell out. Tickets are $35, plus a $5 processing fee.</p>
<p>The regional areas where the event will be taking place include:</p>
<p>• Atlanta</p>
<p>• Boca/Delray Beach</p>
<p>• Boston</p>
<p>• Chicago</p>
<p>• Dallas</p>
<p>• Los Angeles</p>

<p>• Toronto</p>
<p>• London</p>
<p>• Sydney</p>
<p>• Tel Aviv</p>

<p>“We are thrilled to have beaten the record for the largest speed dating event,” adds Rudnick. “We look forward to the event taking place and helping many Jewish singles come together. This is one event you don’t want to miss and this year you don’t even have to leave home to join in!”</p>
<p>Those who purchase a ticket to the hottest virtual party will receive a unique log-in link 24 hours before the event. They will be able to narrow their search by choosing their age and regional preferences. The event will also use fast match technology for those who feel they made a connection with someone.

<p>global governance and the Emergence of Global Institutions for the 21st Century<br />
By Dr. Augusto Lopez-Claros (et. al)</p>
<p>Publisher: Cambridge University Press (February 27, 2020)</p>
<p>How can the world&#8217;s leading nations address the economic, health, and military threats more cooperatively? Augusto Lopez-Claros has a plan.</p>
<p>Your audience can feel the call-to-action of those in power who are tasked to grapple with the immediate crises that threaten humanity, wherever it is geographically located. All those who despair at the state of the world and its multiple problems will find in this book an ambitious but reasonable proposals that will give our globalized world the institutions of international governance necessary to resolve pressing problems including, but not limited to peace, security, and climate change.</p>
<p>In an interview Dr. Lopez-Claros can discuss:</p>
<p>· The urgent and non-trivial international problems currently confronted by humanity and why TheBulletin of Atomic Scientists earlier this year set their Humanity DoomsdayClock closer to midnight than at any point since the Cold War. It is now set at100 seconds to midnight, which, they remark, seems to constitute the “new normal.”<br />
· There is the current global COVID19 pandemic, of course, with over twenty-four million global verified cases and what is approaching 800,000 deaths worldwide at the time of this writing. With devastating effects on the global economy and substantially setting back recent progress achieved in poverty alleviation&#8230; We are told that more global pandemics are on the horizon, linked in part to our other global ecological crises.<br />
· Catastrophicbiodiversity loss (as we head into the planet’s Sixth Mass Extinction, this time human-caused), weapons proliferation and renewed arms races (including in relation to WMDs), global financial crisis management capacity which is weaker than it was during the 2008-2009 crisis, novel threats posed by AI and emerging technologies—including lethal autonomous weapons—enabling intensified cyberwarfare, the degeneration of the integrity of information ecosystems (so important for the proper functioning of healthy democracies), not to mention sobering problems of economic inequality, and the predicted “fourth industrial revolution,” with the resultant possible mass joblessness due to new waves of automation.<br />
· The Proposals for global Governance for the 21st Century including proposals to reform the central institutions of the United Nations, including giving the reformed general Assembly powers to adopt binding legislation concerning peace and security and the global environment (i.e., for the first time creating a true global parliament), together with scientific advisory mechanisms and a strong voice for progressive global civil society. The dysfunctional and hamstrungSecurity Council would be replaced with an Executive Council with management functions, mechanisms to oversee staged and verified arms control, and an international Peace Force, supported by new, reliable funding mechanisms. It would similarly strengthen the international rule of law with binding jurisdiction for the International Court of Justice, complemented by theInternational Criminal Court, an anti-corruption court, and an international human rights tribunal.<br />
· What is truly at stake if the world&#8217;s governments and institutions cannot find more agile ways to implement changes<br />
· Much More&#8230;<br />
We include the book’s press release for additional background information and I look forward to hearing your interview interests for Dr. Augusto Lopez-Claros and GlobalGovernance soon.</p>
<p>&#8216;This volume makes a powerful call for action to transform the international institutions that govern human affairs. Grounded in rigorous historical exploration, it offers a vision for collective courage to change what we can and reimagine what we consider outmoded and inadequate. This is the blueprint for a new global architecture.&#8217;<br />
——Maria Ivanova, Director of Center for Governance and Sustainability, University of Massachusetts Boston</p>
<p>&#8216;Ourworld has long required an international force as an essential tool for conflict prevention, and yet such a force has always stumbled through inadequate means and half-hearted implementation. Global Governance and the Emergence of Global Institutions for the 21st Century provides a comprehensive set of proposals combining alternative dispute settlement mechanisms, phased disarmament, an International Peace Force adequate to the task, and paths to its implementation. As the risks of a major military confrontation increase, so too has the critical need to take these proposals seriously and work for their permanent implementation. There is no safe alternative.&#8217;</p>
<p>——Lt. Gen. (ret) the HonourableRoméo Dallaire</p>
<p>&#8216;Lopez-Claros, Dahl, and Groff propose radical reforms to the charter that authorizes and rules the United Nations, and other methods of improving the current muddled state of global governance. Their case is persuasive. This book&#8217;s trenchant analysis of what ails the running of the globe should be read by policymakers everywhere, and certainly by those many citizens who concern themselves with fostering a better and more functional world. Change comes slowly, but this book is a prodding catalyst.&#8217;</p>
