A condiment is a supplemental food (such as a sauce or powder) that is added to some foods to impart a particular flavor, enhance their flavor, or, in some cultures, to complement the dish, but that cannot stand alone as a dish.  The term condiment originally described pickled or preserved foods, but now includes a great variety of flavorings.  Many diverse condiments exist in various countries, regions and cultures.  Find a list with worldwide condiments at:    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_condiments#:~:text=A%20condiment%20is%20a%20supplemental,list%20includes%20notable%20worldwide%20condiments

At the time of European contact the area of Newburgh, New York was occupied by the Waoranek, a branch of the Lenape.  The area that became Newburgh was first explored by Europeans when Henry Hudson stopped by during his 1609 expedition up the river that now bears his name.  His navigator, Robert Juet, is said to have called the site "a pleasant place to build a town", although some later historians believe he may actually have been referring to the area where Cornwall-on-Hudson now stands.  Around 1683, provincial governor Thomas Dongan purchased the land from the Woaranek people.  The first settlement was made in the spring of 1709 by fifty-four Palatine refugees, sponsored by Queen Anne of Great Britain.  The settlers named it the Palatine Parish by Quassic.  In 1743, a ferry at the foot of First Street had been established between Newburgh and Fishkill Landing (now Beacon, New York).  In 1752, the land had been surveyed by Cadwallader Colden and named "Newburgh", perhaps after one of the Newburghs (there are two) in his father's native Scotland (Colden himself was born in Ireland).  Shipyards were established and docks and warehouses lined the waterfront.  In April 1782, General George Washington made his headquarters at the farmhouse of the Hasbrouck family, making Newburgh the Continental Army's headquarters; he remained there until August 1783.  This was Washington's longest stay at any of his over 160 headquarters.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newburgh,_New_York      

Christoph von Dohnanyi, the German conductor whose 18-year collaboration with the Cleveland Orchestra was widely considered one of the finest musical combinations of the 20th Century, died in Munich, Germany on September 5, 2025.  He was 95.  Dohnanyi served as music director of the Cleveland Orchestra from 1984 to 2002, a period in which he recorded more than 100 works with the ensemble, making it the most-recorded American orchestra of the time.  He was named the orchestra’s music director laureate in 2002.  His concert programming was admired for its breadth of repertoire, spanning the late 18th century to recent and commissioned works.  https://www.cleveland.com/entertainment/2025/09/christoph-von-dohnanyi-visionary-conductor-who-elevated-the-cleveland-orchestra-to-global-prominence-dies-at-95.html
