Mofaz refuses debating
September 8, 2008 / Editor / 0 Comments
The Kadima primary is just a few weeks away, and there are currently 4 candidates. Avi Dichter, one of the candidates, suggested having a televised debate, where the candidates can voice their opinions on the urging matters of the Israeli society. However, Minister of Transportation, Shaul Mofaz refuses to participate in such a debate, making the suggestion virtually pointless. Mr. Dichter is very unpleased with Mofaz' refusal, and he may even push to have a 3-way debate instead.
As I've previously mentioned here on the blog, political debates do only good, no matter the political context.
The Power of Green People
August 21, 2008 / Editor / 0 Comments
I'm always amazed at the power of Little Green Footballs. How come a blog that has almost no original content in its posts (as of August 2008), and is closed to new registration, gets hundreds and thousands of comments so quickly on each new post?
Do I find it extremely peculiar? Absolutely.
Am I envious? You betcha!
Johnson, what is your secret?
Communist Lawyer to Bid for Tel Aviv Mayorship
Dr. Dov Khenin is a respected Knesset member and is currently co-chairing the Knesset's largest lobby, the Socio-Environmental Lobby. He's a prominent member of the Israeli Communist Party (nowadays part of the Hadash political party).
This morning Dr. Khenin announced he's joining the race for the mayorship of Tel Aviv. The municipal elections are set to take place on November.
This is big news for the residents of Tel Aviv, and although Dov and his Hadash party may not have much influence in the national arena, they have rather good chances to make a big impact in this seaside metropolis.
Jewish Bloggers Convention
July 24, 2008 / Editor / 1 Comment
Aussie Dave, Batya and Carl report in their blogs about the First International JBloggers Convention, set to take place Wednesday, August 20 from 5pm to 9pm (Israel time) in Jerusalem.
The event is organized by the Nefesh b'Nefesh organization in collaboration with the WebAds company.
Unfortunately, the Nefesh b'Nefesh website appears to be currently inaccessible from parts of Israel (it cites a DNS error), so I couldn't learn about the full details as yet. When I do, I'll publish a follow-up post.

Signs of Summer
July 2, 2008 / Editor / 0 Comments
Summer is the annual time of beach goers. Racquets, ice lollies, and bikinis — there's plenty to look out for. But there are also several things to look out from.
Jelly fish is a known annoyance along the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Those sting-inflicting cold-blooded animals migrate northward around this time of year, and according to recent reports, they're well on their way at the moment.
Another menace that signals the onset of summer is the appearance of snakes. There has been news of numerous snake bites in recent weeks, which resulted in several people hospitalized in critical conditions, especially in the northern parts of Israel.
In case you get bitten by a snake, don't panic and run. On the contrary, you'd want to slow down your blood circulation, so that the venom couldn't spread too fast to vital organs. However don't lie down flat, as you'd want the bitten area to be lower than the heart. Here are a few common tips about treating snake bites anyone should be familiarized with before going out on a field trip.
And if you do go out on a field trip in Israel, we'll be glad to feature your travel story and your photos on our blog. You may contact us at editor@OneJerusalem.com for any contributions, comments, or questions.

Israeli Blogosphere
June 12, 2008 / Editor / 2 Comments
Social Rank is a fascinating web venture, launched by Indonesian company MindValley. The company created an algorithm that scouts the web for interesting blogs, ranks them according to relevance and popularity, and features them on theme-centered portals.
For example, Journalism Daily centers top journalism-related blogs, while The Comic Watch is a blogging hub for comic strips lovers.
Each portal has its own team of volunteers that nominate a bunch of community-leading blogs within the designated domain. Once an initial list of related blogs has been chosen, the Social Rank crawlers follow the links from these blogs to other domain-specific blogs and add them to the pool as well. Then the algorithm begins to assign these blogs — and the individual posts within these blogs — an SR (Social Rank) score, in a similar manner to how Google assigns each web page with a PR (Page Rank) score.
Israeli people, and Jewish people abroad, publish a vast range of stimulating and engaging blogs. This is why Social Rank designed a distinct portal specifically for Israel's hottest blogs. It is called "Israel's Daily Voices", and One Jerusalem succeeds regularly in gaining a top position with their listings.
The web site is still in Beta phase, and sometimes the pages do not load properly. Nevertheless, I find it to be very useful and user-friendly, and it has helped me to discover other Israeli blogs which I enjoy reading, such as Dry Bones.

Shin Bet Blog
Israel security agency has launched a new blog in which four employees, identified by their initial letters, tell about their work as Shin Bet agents. Sounds intriguing? By what I've read and heard so far, the blog is not too exciting (to say the least).
This move is unexpected, considering the legendary reputation of this secret agency. I was very curious to hear what motivated this rare initiative. It appears that shin bet is interested in marketing itself as a standard high-tech company, while fighting its intimidating image. This move is a part of a bigger campaign aiming to attract program engineers and other high-tech professionals from Israel and across the world.
The lives of the Shin Bet employees as described online seem completely normal. That is the message Sin bet wishes to convey.
One of the bloggers, Y, tells the readers that his first priority is his family. "You don't stay at work if u don't really have to", admits Y, who only wants to return home as early as he can. If you are looking for patriotic slogans, search elsewhere. It looks like working for Israel's intelligence agency is not the James Bond stories that one might imagine. I personally prefer the myth, and by judging readers' commentary, I'm not the only one!
While the official website has been recently translated into English and Arabic, the blog is only available in Hebrew. Don't be too disappointed though: who really wants to read a blog by a boring high-tech employee ?…
Unusual bird found in Tel Aviv
April 6, 2008 / Editor / 1 Comment
I never expected to see what I saw when exiting the Tel Aviv Central train station Wednesday afternoon. Arriving at Arlozorov Street to catch a bus west, I suddenly saw a large, duck-like bird hopping on a grassy area near the street. I was so taken back by the sight of such an unusual looking fowl being in a place where normally only pigeons and sparrows are, that I took a few moments to watch it. The duck-like creature was actually larger than a wild duck, which I presumed it was. Another person took a photo of it with his cell phone, which I could not, since mine doesn't have a suitable camera. I soon found out why the "duck" was hopping – it didn't have a left foot; only a stump that looked like it was hatched that way. I tried to approach it to throw it some of a bagel I had with me, but the bird didn't seem to know that this was food. It must have been truly a wild creature that must have strayed off course in the process of migration as we are now in the waterfowl migration season.
The bird must have been exhausted, and it tried to take off and fly. After a few tries, one of which caused it to crash land almost in front of a departing bus, it finally did get airborne and it circled the area and flew to a large park across the street, where I presume it again landed.
Upon returning home later that night, I looked it up from my recollection of its appearance and was surprised when it turned out to be known as an Egyptian Goose, also known in Hebrew as an "Avaz Sudani" (Sudanese goose). It must have flown all the way from its usual winter home, somewhere in Africa, and was going north in the spring migration. How or why it chose to land in the middle of Tel Aviv is anybody's guess, and its decision to land where it did must have been the result of sheer exhaustion.
I have included a picture of what it looks like in case someone else reading this blog may have seen it too. I can only hope that maybe it was seen by enough people to be reported to the Nature Parks Authority and maybe was caught and taken to Safari Park to be cared for until it can continue it journey. Or maybe it might like its new home here and decide to stay.
In any case, I'm sure you'll agree that this was something unusual and out of the ordinary for a mid-week afternoon in Tel Aviv.
Fitna Removed
March 29, 2008 / Editor / 3 Comments
I heard lots of talk about Fitna the Geert Wilders film about the Koran and its broadcasting recently on the Internet. You will notice that the movie was removed from LiveLeak with a statement saying something about threats and fear being the cause for the removal.
I tried to visit the movie website but nothing was there…
Obama'd!
After the story about Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's black supremacist, anti-semitic, troofer pastor ("Jesus was a poor black man who lived in a country controlled by rich white people…") broke this week in the mainstream media, many Americans and non-Americans are scratching their heads, mumbling to themselves, "Really?"
The Wright story comes on the heels of Samantha Power– a "humans right expert" and former top adviser to the Obama campaign– calling Hillary Clinton "a monster," a term she'd previously reserved for brutal dictators like Milosevic and Saddam Hussein.
A closer look at these Obama advisers showed their more frightening sides: Samantha Power, who vehemently condemns the invasion of Iraq, once said that the US should invade Israel in order to force a peace settlement between us and the Palestinians. Nice.
Obama's connections with the former leader of the American terror group the Weather Undergorund, Bill Ayers, are well established and go un-denied by the campaign. Likewise with his connection to radical PLO supporter Rashid Khalidi, who now takes cover under the flimsy umbrella of Columbia University.
Obama sat on the board of a Chicago charity called the Wood's Fund with Bill Ayers. During the boardroom tenure of Obama and the former terrorist, the charity funded an organization called the Arab American Action Network, which happened to be founded and run by none other than Rashid Khalidi's wife.
Obama and his lever-pullers (including those in the media) have fired back saying the group was a "local" charity that helped "local" people improve their "local" lives. The claim looks silly in the face of photos of Barack and Michelle Obama sitting next to the academic Palestinian crusader Edward Said at AAAN fund raisers.
But here's the rub: Obama was aligned at the time with an Arab intellectual with ties to the PLO; he fund raised directly and indirectly for an organization called the Arab American Action Network; he was tutored by an anti-Semitic, anti-white preacher who carries on a global oppressor-oppressed narrative as if it's scientific fact; he hired a "human rights" expert who made statements in support of an American ground invasion (!) of Israel.
Any of these associations on their own could be dismissed as benign and passing. Together they leave us asking only one question: Have we been Obama'd?
A Tale of Two Scumbags: Spitzer and Katsav
Just what does the guy who looks like he just ate a very bitter persimmon have to do with the former President of the State of Israel? Well, it appears that both of them had to resign over a few "problems" concerning women; that's what! Elliot Spitzer, who just resigned his position as Governor of the State of New York, was nailed by U.S. Federal officials for being involved with prostitutes. This is despite the fact that he was a former prosecuting attorney and won the governorship over a campaign to fight organized crime, of which the world's oldest profession is definitely a part of. Spitzer, seen standing at a press conference with the future ex-Mrs. Spitzer, confessed that he had been "consorting" with high priced hookers for several years. Some of them, especially a young nymphet named "Kristine" ( actually Ashley Alexandre Dupree), were charging Spitzer fees amounting to as much as $4,500 for a two hour romp.
All together, the now Ex-New York Governor is alleged to have spent more than $80 Grand on these gals, some of which may have come from the State Treasury. What complicates this matter even further is that Spitzer, A Democrat, is a close friend and confidant of Presidential Candidate Hillary Clinton, who just happens to the a U.S. Senator from New York. In fact, Mr. Spitzer was one of a group of super delegates whose votes might be crucial for Clinton to push her past Barack Obama and be elected her party's candidate for the Presidency.
Now for the other guy. No need to say much about him as Mr. Moshe Katsav, former President of the State of Israel, has been mentioned numerous times on this web blog. Katsav's crimes are far worse than Spitzer's who only faces misdemeanor charges for consorting with prostitutes, should he be arraigned at all. Katsav refused to resign his post when first implicated for a number of serious sex offenses which included rape, sexual harassment, and sexual abuse; as well as perjury and extortion. In order to get off the hook, Katsav cut a deal with the State Attorney, Manny Mazuz, in which Katsav would plead guilty to much lesser crimes, pay a modest fine and compensation to some of his alleged victims, and formerly resign his post. He finally did resign about two weeks before his term of office officially came to an end.
Both of these guys are now considered as real jerk-offs and scum bags by people in their respective countries. The question is how low a public official can go while holding the people's trust. Obviously, they can go a hell of along way!
Meet Evan
March 4, 2008 / Editor / 0 Comments
Meet Evan Fallenberg, an American ex-pat living in Israel, who is now becoming discovered on the world Jewish literary scene. Fallenberg, formerly of Cleveland Ohio, has been living in Israel for some years now, and resides in a small suburban community outside the coastal city of Netanya.
A translator by profession, Evan began to make a name for himself by writing superb English translations for Israeli authors who produced literary works only in Hebrew. One such work, entitled A Pigeon and a Boy, by writer Meir Shalev, won the 2007 Jewish National Book Council Award in the U.S.A. for outstanding Jewish fiction. Evan competed his first novel, entitled Light Fell, which was published by Soho Press in January, 2008. Even though the book has just been released, it has already received excellent reviews by such periodicals as Haaretz, The Miami Herald, The Forward, San Francisco Chronicle, and his home town's Jewish newspaper: The Cleveland Jewish News. He has also been interviewed by La Bloga, one of Latin America's most popular web blogs.
I had the opportunity to attend a literary group meeting in Tel Aviv recently, and Evan Fallenberg was the guest speaker. He read some excerpts from his novel which is based on a very intimate relationship between two deeply religious men who left their wives and a total of nine children in order to be together. Although this kind of topic is not fully acceptable by many, especially those in the Orthodox Jewish Community in Israel and elsewhere, the sensitivity and poetic manner in which Evan describes the love these two men have for each other, is even more poignant and touching that the recent Academy Award winning film Brokeback Mountain. So well received is this novel, despite its relatively short "exposure" time on the book market, that the word is out that it may be even in the process of being considered for either a film or television miniseries.
Since many of us attending the meeting are aspiring authors, Evan's advice concerning having works published was taken in enthusiastically by all in attendance. One bit of advice that I picked up on was that in order to have a literary or commercial work published, the writer must first be sure that the book is "ready for publishing". This includes having others read the finished manuscript and give their opinions on it. Also, it is important that the author feels that the book is really superb, as how can one expect to have a work published if not liked by the one who wrote it?
Light Fell is definitely only the beginning for this very personable guy who appears to have a bright future in the literary world. In addition to his translating and work and novel writing (he is well into writing his next novel already) Evan conducts literary workshops and writing retreats for aspiring authors.
Israeli Version of "Survivor" Premieres with Animal Abuse
December 16, 2007 / Editor / 1 Comment
As I am writing this, the first episode of the Israeli version of the hit tv series "Survivor" is being aired on Israeli television (channel 10).
Having bought the rights to the show, it is so far a fair imitation of the original series, this one shot on the Caribbean Islands.
So far, survivors were split into groups and challenged to jump off a boat in the middle of ocean and get the game started.
What they were asked to do was swim to rafts filled with tools necessary for survival, grab as many as they can and swim back to their new individual boats.
What I didn't see coming, however, was a couple of cages with live chickens amongst the items on the raft.
The participants of each group swam to and jumped on the cages trying to get a hold of them first, causing the chickens in the cage to panic. That was already a huge shock to me (because anyone who knows me knows how sensitive I am to animals) but if that wasn't enough, the struggle over the cages caused them to open, the chickens fell into the water hysterically trying to swim and the contestants continued to fight over who gets the chickens!
The whole thing was just 30 seconds of chaos: people yelling, chickens panicking, water splashing, feathers flying…
At that point, I just burst into tears and ran out of the room leaving my husband in shock.
He knew how long I had been waiting to see the Israeli version, with all the promos and publicity the show has been having – but I couldnt help it! I just started crying in disbelief.
How is it possible , as we head towards the year 2008, that today's society and media STILL allows this kind of mistreatment of animals!
And for what???? For rating????
I'm not proud of my reaction. I wish I could go on watching the show as if nothing happened (just like millions of Israelis are probably doing right now). I wish I didn't take everything so hard and get so emotionally involved when I witness these kinds of injustices…
But I do. It's just who I am. I have always been this way and I guess I always will be.
And so I continue in my personal (and sometimes emotionally exhausting) pursuit of a better world.

Why, Larissa?
October 28, 2007 / Editor / 1 Comment
Continuous media attention of both Yitzhak Rabin's murderer, Yigal Amir and his wife, Larissa Trimbobler, has made some people to wonder just who is this woman who became so interested in this man who has become Israel's number one local villain, even twelve years after this terrible act took place. Along with this, why has she jeopardized not only her own personal life, as well as that of her children, but her career as well for a man with such a taint on his personal character.
Many may not be aware that Larissa's acquaintance with Yigal Amir goes back much further than the aftermath of that fateful night on November 4, 1995. Larissa first met Amir when he was (would you believe) working as a teacher in Russia for the Israeli government. Following Rabin's Assassination, she began to correspond with Amir as she shared many ideological views with him as they are both ultra orthodox in their religious practice. Larissa was married at the time to a man named Benjamin (last name not published by the media for the sake her children) and had four children from him, the eldest being age 15. Following her immigration to Israel, she continued to correspond with Yigal Amir and also began contact by telephone. Amir is normally allowed only one visit by a family member per week, plus one daily fifteen minute phone call. When their relationship became more intense, Larissa managed to convince prison authorities to allow her more contact with Yigal on the grounds that she was making a study of his behavior. She has a PHD in Medieval Jewish and Islamic History and a MA in Biology, but not a formal background in either psychology or sociology.
Following her divorce from Benjamin in 2003, Larissa Trembobler's relationship with Amir became even more intense, and in 2004, announced that she and Amir planned to get married by proxy (they were not allowed a formal wedding ceremony). They were married by proxy later that year, with a friend of Yigal standing in for him.
The rest of the story has become more well known to the public due to the intense coverage it has received by the media, both in and outside of Israel. Following legal efforts to have herself inseminated artificially by Amir's sperm, which they even tried to smuggle out of Ayalon Prison where he is incarcerated, they were finally allowed a 10 hour co-nuptial visit in January, 2007. Larissa has continually campaigned to have more visits with her husband, and her pregnancy with Amir's child has been followed intensely by the press, including international news agencies like CNN. Since announcing her engagement and subsequent marriage to Yigal Amir, she lost her employment position at Open University, and has had to support herself and her children by undertaking editing and translation work. She also published a book in Russian with her ex-husband entitled: A Mirror for a Prince. She has a web-blog in Russian which is said to be gaining in readership.
At the time of the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin, Yigal Amir was a third year law student at Bar Ilan University. He had a girl friend, Maraglit Har-Sheffi who had similar right winged views as he did. Following Rabin's murder, Har-Sheffi was tried and convicted of conspiracy, due to her alleged knowledge of Amir's intentions to murder the prime minister. Although she proclaimed her innocence of this crime, she was convicted and served several months in prison. She still claims that she is innocent, and many believed she was framed.
As for Amir himself, a growing movement of right-winged and religious supporters have been waging a campaign to free him from prison. While some of these supporters are saying that he has "suffered enough for his crime" others are saying that he is innocent and did not actually kill Rabin. Larissa would naturally like to see her husband gain his freedom, especially since she is about to give birth to his child – and a son at that. Prison authorities are not planning to grant him any special consideration to attend the ritual circumcision of his son; and both judicial and government authorities alike agree that Yigal Amir will never gain his freedom.
So, why did Larissa do what she did, especially in light of her own children, whose lives will be greatly affected forever by her actions? What's more, what about the child about to be born? What will his future be, and how will this affect him? Only time will answer these questions, and many will agree that time is often a cruel mistress.

Party Report: Lente Kabinet 2017
View Original Version
>Categories: Editorial

Amsterdam's Lente Kabinet festival is the annual little sister to it's renowned Dekmantel event.
Organized by the same minds, and frequently featuring similar artists (albeit at less than 1/3 of the latter's multi-day, city-wide offering), Lente Kabinet is something of a precursor to the massive summer events to come (I mean, the English translation has "Spring" in it…but most of you knew already that already), as well as a (welcome) relief from the barrage of open format, mainstream festival events which tend to monopolize and create a complacency toward all those arbitrary definitions of "underground" out there.
My own experience at Lente Kabinet over the years has been none. This was my first year attending, as well as my first time at its lush location, Het Twiske. Now, with that, I should mention that the day started out as Amsterdam's hottest of the year. Something like 35 degrees, with a blistering sun and cloudless sky to boot, this day featured proper heat conditions, ultimately making me question the practicality of an open air rager. Much to my delight however, as I stepped off the bus from the East to the North, I immediately felt a refreshingly brisk breeze, making the surrounding areas significantly cooler than elsewhere in the city….I'm assuming it was the proximity to the water, but that's about how far I'll look into it.
ANYWAY, as I traversed Het Twiske's greenery to the festival location, stopping for the occasional pic of an abandoned boat or philosophical conversation with the horned goats (rams?!) that lined the trail, I finally arrived. Not sure what time that was, as I haven't really known those kind of details since like '97, but as I entered, one could immediately feel a different ambience than tends to envelop much of festival season. On one hand, there is more color in the crowd…meaning, your usual Techno black is minimal, rather giving way to a certain cross cultural patron aesthetic, both in attendance and garb. Secondly, one notices the balance between population and space. Though, sold out early (and one of the hottest secondary market tickets I'd seen recently), never was there a sense of over condensation. Each of Lente Kabinet's four stages held enough to keep the energy moving, yet never veered into "sardine can" territory…which is good….really good.
On this day, there were two dedicated Lente Kabinet stages, and two additional stages, one hosted by DJBroadcast and one hosted by Red Light Radio. Early in the day, the likes of Chicago house legend Boo Williams and quick rising star Willow handled duties on Lente Kabinet's Tweede and Eerste stages, respectively (interesting fact, Boo Williams played the first rave I'd ever attended…b2b with Glen Underground in Jamaica, Queens, NYC. The party was a Martin Luther King Jr. day celebration called "I Have A Dream" and I don't think I attended high school for like 5 days afterwards….good times). On the specially hosted stages, the more "selector" approach was taken, with the likes of Rush Hour's Antal and, another Chicago legend, Sadar Bahar doing what they do best on DJBroadcast, while Red Light Radio hosted the likes of Zaltan b2b Orpheu the Wizard and a live set from Toulouse Low Trax, before giving way to the likes of Powell and Helena Hauff.
By the time I had properly settled into the the music, which of course was after some all the frites, dim sum, tortillas and food options offered (I'll look away from the lack of meat options…sorry vegans, I still love you but…) I settled into things. First up was Matthew Herbert on the Tweede stage. One of the scene's most innovative figures, Matthew Herbert's set, which surely was full of exclusive edits, secrets, and other kinds of digital alchemy, was much more danceable than I had anticipated. Perhaps the reason being that my recent relationship with Matthew's music has been via his extremely avant garde approach to symphonic and experimental sounds, over "dance music". In fact, the set inspired me to recently curate an interesting new dub from Matthew (check it out here – it's a manic "Trump" dub, as volatile in its approach than the big orange devil is in his twitter finger).
Next up came one of my favorites sets on the day, which was via Geigling's Konstantin. This was the first time I had seen this frequently praised DJ and I'm happy to say I can see what the hype is about. A real smooth journey of a set, which took the stage from daylight to twilight, with solid lights illuminating the smoke that enveloped the stage, Konstantin subtly brought the Lente faithful into a trance, sexy throughout, nightmarish at times, and always attention grabbing. This talented DJ gave way to another…The Black Madonna. By now, its widely known that, due to some security breach at the UKs airport system, The Black Madonna took her own private plane from London to Amsterdam, acknowledging the place the festival and its organizers have played in her career. With that, it could be expected that her set would be one that was, at least, personal. Still though, by now The Black Madonna is one of those artists who is so universally praised, covered, and featured on lineups that her talent and and stage presence have started to wear off on me a bit. That being said though, it is undeniable her ability to read crowds, mix (from a purely technical standpoint), as well as her seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of dance music in all its forms, put her on a pedestal many other DJs simply will never attain. You can hear it in the smoothness of her transitions, and in the audible ranges her selections exude…claps seem higher, bass hits harder…
After a few minutes (!) of The Black Madonna, I ventured over the the closing set of the night via Red Light Radio, which immediately became a highlight of my ENTIRE time spent in Amsterdam over the last three years, and it came courtesy of Helena Hauff (see featured image). Helena is a Dekmantel favorite who just about always pops up on their lineups from Amsterdam to Croatia and beyond, and for good reason. Known for her relentless approach to Techno, (in my opinion) Helena Hauff is the perfect synergy of style, substance, and sound. Her black and white contrasting stage presence gives way to a RELENTLESS barrage of breakbeat, electro and techno straight from the depths of Earth's most dark and dirty places (just the way I like it). I can't speak high enough of this set. It was one that began with about half hour of breakbeats as if straight out of Florida's most LSD influenced raves of the last millenium before giving way to the thick, no-bullshit techno Helena is widely appreciated for. This set was just fire! It was skilled, polished, energetic and interesting, with an artist who understands the importance of stage presence to boot. It all fit together…the red lights, the smoke, the unease created. Again, such a nostalgic experience that brought me back to a place (and time) when raving was dangerous…it was uncomfortable, both qualities usually making for more memorable LIFE experience. Sometimes the polish and the safety that has enveloped contemporary dance music and its festival scene really seems antithetical to what it should be and what it has been…an experience and an exercise in the unpredictability of the underground…a place where one can get jacked up just as easily as hook up…it's still a feeling I long for and for a moment, the music of Helena Hauff brought me to this place of anarchy…and I loved it!
All in all, Lente Kabinet was surely a highlight event for the Spring, as well as the year as a whole. It's crowd has an undeniably discerning taste for the finer things in dance music, while its artists are (essentially) family, understanding their place as selectors, as well as wider communal figures. Furthermore, the festival's dedication to environment and sustainability (which, honestly, should be a REQUIREMENT for ANYONE ANYWHERE to get local permits) was admirable, while its beautiful location created a perfect atmosphere of comfort and space while maintaining intimacy and community. All in all, Lente Kabinet (like Dekmantel) simply operates on a different level from so many of the others in this festival scene and you feel it immediately at the gate. Highly Recommended!

The signers of this letter, all active in the field of health care, research and teaching of medicine, are surprised to hear that a widely appreciated physician and researcher, for many years active in the field of cystic fibrosis, has not been considered adequate to serve as the director of the main Italian center for the treatment of this disease.
The Cystic Fibrosis Center of Verona is recognized as the leading in Italy and is known worldwide for its excellence in the treatment and research on cystic fibrosis. This center has developed programs for basic research, has started one of the first newborn screening programs in the world, is engaged in research of new drugs, has always been represented at the level of committees and international scientific institutions.
Dr Carlo Castellani is a world-known personality. He has been secretary of the European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS), vice-president and later president of the Italian Cystic Fibrosis Society; has been presented with the 2015 ECFS award as a personality who has made an outstanding contribution to the care of people with cystic fibrosis; has directed and coordinated international programs and led more than 100 scientists from different countries to produce the current guidelines for the standards of care for CF; is deputy editor of the world's leading scientific journal in the field (Journal of Cystic Fibrosis) and has authored of more than eighty scientific papers published in main medical journals; has received funding from Italian, European and American institutions; has been invited to give talks in many countries and by several scientific societies; he is a recognized authority in the world in the field of genetic and newborn screening for cystic fibrosis. He continues to lead international programs of great importance for the study of this disease. Finally, Dr. Castellani has recently obtained the credentials for Associate Professor of Medical Genetics and Full Professor of Pediatrics in Italy.
We strongly feel that Dr. Carlo Castellani deserves the position of Director of the CF center in Verona, but we are dismayed to hear that his merits were not properly acknowledged.
We sincerely believe that this affair harms the scientific and clinical image of Italy in the specific field of cystic fibrosis.

Why Girls Are Outperforming Boys in School
By Mary Ellen Flannery
All-boy classrooms, more male teachers, and longer hours on the playground — these are often suggested answers to improving male achievement in school and close the gender gap in school. But they're misguided ones that assume all boys have the same needs and that they're different from the needs of girls, said the authors of a new book, The Rise of Women: The Growing Gender Gap in Education and What It Means for American Schools.
Instead, what research shows to be helpful for boys—and all kids—is school-wide focus on academic achievement. "Our research shows that boys will compete for good grades and often achieve them in schools where academic effort is expected and valued," said co-author Claudia Buchmann, sociology professor at Ohio State University.
It's also very important, she noted, for teachers and parents to make it clear to students that their hard work in middle and high school leads to success in college and well-paid careers. Girls seem to understand this. But boys…not so much. And it's a growing problem for them—and our nation.
In 2010, the college completion rate for men was just 27 percent — not much better than it was 40 years ago. But, for women, it was 36 percent, up from 14 percent in 1970. "We've seen astonishing change over a very short period of history," said co-author Thomas DiPrete, a Columbia University sociologist.
The road to success in college starts early—and girls have taken the lead from the very start. At every grade, from kindergarten on, girls have better social and behavioral skills than boys, and they earn better grades. But are the girls just plain smarter? No, not according to researchers. Girls and boys have very similar rates of intelligence. But girls do work harder—and their hard work pays off.
"It isn't about ability. It's about effort and engagement in school," Buchmann said. Girls are more likely to say they like school and that good grades are important to them. And their motivation translates into effort: Girls are more likely than boys to spend time studying. "Success in academics, like success in sports, requires a big investment in time and effort. The more you practice, the better you become," Buchmann said.
Boys, on the other hand, are more likely to say that they're going to make a lot of money even without education. They're overly optimistic. And the problem is worse for boys with less-educated fathers. They're even less likely to get good grades or graduate from high school. "They may hold out-dated views of masculinity—that it's more about physical strength," said Buchmann.
The consequences for men are clear: You need a college diploma to get a well-paid job these days. And folks without degrees are twice as likely to be unemployed in today's economy. "Men's failure to get more education limits income gains for them and their families," said DiPrete. What's more, it also is slowing the nation's economic growth, he added. The United States is falling behind other nations in terms of college completion, and the small number of male college graduates is a key contributor to the problem.
Of course, women still have to overcome obstacles. They still earn less money: an average 82 cents for every dollar earned by a man. And they're still too often closed out of science and technology fields. "Men and women still largely educate themselves in different fields—with dramatic consequences across their lifetimes," said Philip Cohen, a University of Maryland-College Park professor of sociology.
But the strategies that work best with boys would also work well for women, the researchers said. "Schools should set high expectations, and treat students as individuals…not part of a gendered group," Buchmann said. "These same reforms will also help girls."

He will submit the drawings to the related local Authority in Kenya, in Nairobi, simple house design drawing town Council. Buildings have a protracted lifespan and will continue speaking your statement to the world lengthy after your departure. House designs are highly effective symbols that you can use to create a press release to the world on who you are.

Mortgage finance is offered from Housing Finance, KCB Savings and Loan, Barclays, Equity Bank, Standard Chartered, Stanbic or another monetary institution in Kenya. Through use of 3 dimensional graphic design software resembling ArchiCAD, your architect ought to be capable to present to you the home in 3 D graphic view for you to make your recommendations and adjustments.
After the choice, you then get into contract with the contractor and your architect supervises the contractors work to make sure that he conforms to the design and the agreed high quality and workmanship. The architect will incorporate the design and symbols into a type and can work out functionality from here. This process will proceed until you are glad with the house design.

House designs are additionally a mark of self-actualization. Your architect will print the house plan in A1 size format and make four copies of blueprint. The initial step to realize your dream house plan is to contact an Architect. A big entry means is all the time nice and units the whole tone to your new home.
Ensure you make your entry approach massive enough to have a nice coat closet and room to greet visitors. Also be sure your driveway is broad sufficient to accommodate any vehicles you may need. Ensure you install new CAT5 wiring all through your home to your computers. You might also suppose about soundproofing some rooms or the entire home. In the event you will need to have the laundry room downstairs and the bedrooms up high, you would possibly consider installing a laundry chute. Many houses have the laundry room on the main flooring and the bedrooms upstairs. Who needs to have to carry all the laundry up and down the stairs every time? You may search on the web for related home photos and flooring plans. They'll both block or let the light in and likewise filter it. Another factor to consider is access to the yard and the house.

Appearance or Education? More concern about the education and the soundness of citizens is required
Clark Kent 20 / 23 6
Oct 5, 2015 #1
Some people think that large, impressive buildings are important for a city. Others believe that the money should be spent on improving school and hospital. Discuss both these views and give your own opinion.
Some people argue that the most important to be improved are school and social facility such as hospital rather than increase the number of amazing constructions. And I strongly agree that the government of a country should more concern about the education and the soundness of their citizens.
Countries which have incredible edifices indicates that they are developing countries. The governments allocate much money to improve particular strength of their country, so they can be glorious at particular part. For example, Brazil, which has hosted The World Cup in 2014 do massive construction in every sport building, especially stadiums and another supporting building to facilitate his guests in order to reach the stadiums and build multifarious new hotels for the visitors. In addition, the government builds facility for the inhabitant and of course to help people more enjoy their life or even to attract tourist to visit the country. For instance, Dubai has built many top skyscrapers, one of them is The Burj Khalifa Tower. It is the highest building in the world, and Dubai built it to show his money power thanks to his source. This building attracts visitors to visit it because some people want to see how powerful this structure directly and also to ensure the investors that Dubai is the most advantageous place for invest their money due to his development.
However, social facilities and schools should be the main focus of the government. To become a strong and powerful country, education and health of the inhabitant should be the primary concern by him. An increasing number of multi-storey building without the supported by health and education of the citizens left the country to become crippled, because it does not focus on the personal development of citizens. To illustrate, Brazil has built 12 amazing stadiums and spent more than US$ 14,6 Billion, in contrast to their education sector, there is a big hole in there where is the percentage of the inhabitant who illiterate stood at 88% in 2003 and decrease by now but the percentage still high. In addition, not only education which becomes a huge problem in Brazil, but also the health of the human being in there. According to the research, 83% Brazilians have a disease. I argue that Brazil is one of the country that has the highest crime rate, thanks to the imbalance between the construction of public facilities and football stadiums.
In conclusion, increasing the number of amazing buildings are important, but in my opinion, school facility and hospital are more important than anything.

Epigenetic Marks May Regulate Liver Disease
April 21, 2020 Brandon Eudy Diseases & Disorders, News & Reviews
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is an increasingly alarming health problem in the United States where it is estimated that up to 30% of the population has a fatty liver. Approximately 10% of NAFLD patients will progress in disease severity leading to inflammation and fibrosis and eventually more serious consequences such as cirrhosis or liver cancer. Better understanding the molecular and epigenetic changes in the liver driving disease progression could lead to better treatments.
Understanding how DNA methylation is altered in disease states such as NAFLD could lead to better insight into how key genes involved in the disease become activated. Scientists are currently seeking to identify how genes involved in liver disease might be regulated at an epigenetic level by DNA methylation. Better understanding of the early molecular switches that causes dysregulation of key genes involved in NAFLD could lead to better preventative measures or treatments.
A team of researchers at the Translational Genomics Research Institute in Phoenix, Arizona measured DNA methylation in liver biopsies of histologically-determined obese NAFLD patients with cirrhosis and compared the findings to samples from an obese control group without liver disease. Importantly, the researchers wanted to determine whether changes in DNA methylation was correlated with altered gene expression in the cirrhosis patients.
The researchers found a different pattern of DNA methylation of genes involved in reactive oxygen and reactive nitrogen species production, both of which are produced by immune cells during liver inflammation.
"Our findings showed statistically significant evidence for differential DNA methylation between fibrotic and normal tissue samples from obese individuals," said Dr. Johanna DiStefano, who is a professor and head of the Translational Genomics Research Institute Diabetes and Fibrotic Disease Unit.
Genes involved in cell signaling pathways involved in lipid metabolism including FXR/RXR and LXR/RXR were also differentially expressed.
The authors compared the results of their study to four previous studies which sought to determine whether NAFLD was associated with altered DNA methylation in the liver and found key similarities including altered methylation of the AQP1, FGFR2, RBP5, and MGMT genes. AQP1 and FGFR2 are especially known to be upregulated in fibrotic liver tissue and these genes could represent new therapeutic targets.
The results of this study further drive home the idea that epigenetic regulation of gene expression is altered during the course of NAFLD and cirrhosis may be a result of aberrant expression of key genes involved in inflammation and lipid metabolism driven my epigenetic changes.
SEE ALSO: Breakthrough Technique Calculates Gene Regulation at the Single-Cell Level Using Deep-Learning
The authors suggested that it would be prudent to determine if genes in other tissues such as blood cells were differentially regulated during NAFLD. Currently, there are no definitive blood biomarkers for NAFLD. If NAFLD was associated with a unique epigenetic signature in peripheral blood cells, it is possible that diagnosis of the disease could be improved, potentially leading to earlier intervention and reduced burden of the long-term consequences of disease among the population.

Epigenetics Glossary
Epigenetics is the study of mechanisms that switch genes on or off. It is involved in every aspect of life and such reversible, potentially heritable changes affect the way we live as well as our future generations.
As it is believed that epigenetics holds the key to many of life's mysteries, our intiative is to bring awareness and knowledge of epigenetics to a broader audience without neglecting the important, scientific aspects. We break down the science and present it in a way that a regular person can understand.

Galga de Zebra Ilesa the new album from Portuguese band The9thCell, is a bit of a hard one to get a real handle on but very easy to enjoy, its eclectic sounds and intent not always as persuasive as it might be but thoroughly engaging and rippling with quality and impressive heavy weight sounds. As is evident on previous releases of the band, Galga de Zebra Ilesa offers a diverse and expansive array of sounds and invention which though at times one is left wondering if it really fits together there is only enjoyment and favourable inspired thoughts left behind.
Galga de Zebra Ilesa released through Infektion Records follows the well received Point Blank Range which came in three individual Acts throughout 2010. The new album is a collection of songs and music which as mentioned do not necessarily have a common bond apart from their author but are evidence of the wide creative base and musical imagination of Pais.
First track Adão e Erva immediately has the ear hooked with its opening mesmeric beginning, the atmospheric and slowly brewing mellow start a weave of shimmering melodies and emotive ambience. There is a firm prodding though through firm riffs which line the native tongue vocal delivery before it explodes into a storm of excellent metallic rock n roll. With an electronic whisper in the background the track is a rampaging mix of Bloodsimple and Tool which lights the passions at every turn. Arguably its ten minutes is over stretching things slightly in hindsight but in its company the journey is impactful and invigorating.
The following Cavaleão is true to its opening vocal declaration and unleashes a feast of metal and classic rock excellence. It thumps with unbridled eagerness and high octane energy. Featuring Cláudio Brandão, the song punctures the ear with ferocious riffs and hungry basslines whilst vocally it is an anthemic riot of aggression and continues the impressive start to the release.
At this point the album suddenly throws one off balanced with songs which are unexpected sound wise and fully diverse. Morning Glory is a hard rock track with keen funk tendencies reminding of bands like Extreme whilst the challenging Liberdagem (Este Meu Poço de Romantismo Furioso) spans from melodic metal through to blackened symphonic breath. Both tracks are impressively crafted and presented and engage the senses more deeply with each passage through their invention. Gentlemania has a blues vein to its steely raw presence again furthering the variation. The track does not find any real connection to be honest especially with its spoken vocals, in English as many of the tracks, but to be fair it is one of the few occasions that happens.
Along with the second track the highlights of the album comes with Wounded Pt 2, a track which enters with a crystalline electronic wash before evolving into a muscle rippling tower of inciteful surges and scorched sonic manipulation, and the excellent Jacktiv(h)ate, a tempest of death and classic metal violence which sounds like a mix of Sepultura, and Soundgarden with flashes of Judas Priest.
Closing with the sunset of instrumental Keep Your Heart At Bay, an impressive cinematic soundscape, Galga de Zebra Ilesa is a strong and captivating release which will please most rock and melodic metal hearts, and at times even those with more extreme preferences.
3 Minute Silence, the new album from Portuguese metalers Scar For Life, is not arguably an album to top your best of the year list but is one which is more likely to be revisited more often than many others this year. It is a vibrant and imaginative blend of melodic rock forged with heavier extremes to stretch and push the sound and invention of the band. It has a creative craft which captivates throughout and intelligence to its sound and composition which one can only be impressed and satisfied by.
Formed in 2008 by guitarist Alexandre Santos (Redstains), the band has built up a good and strong reputation over the past years as it evolved its sound and went through member changes. 3 Minute Silence is the third album from Scar For Life and the first with the new line-up of Leonel Silva (vocals), João Colaço (ex-More Than A Thousand) (drums), Nelson Raposo (piano) alongside Santos (rhythm and lead guitars/bass). The release also sees Sergio Faria offering the lead guitars on Before The Storm and Brave Enough as well as some featured guests. Released through Infektion Records the new album is called 'their most ambitious work to date exploring a heavier and more melodic side of Scar For Life'. To be honest with the album being our introduction to the band we can only trust the words in relation to previous releases but 3 Minute Silence certainly is a collection of songs which are powerful, superbly crafted, and unlikely to make just light weight impressions on their listeners.
The album opens with easily its best track though all are decent rivals in their distinctive ways. Last Crow is a thumping introduction to the release, its towering combative rhythms and gnarly bass lines irresistible almost verging on brutal. As the guitars whip up a heated frenzy the vocals of Silva snarl and spit with aggression before exploding into an outstanding melodic rock delivery subsequently entwining both as the track progresses magnificently. The song is a riot of bruising riffs and sharp melodic invention fused with high octane energy and emotive sonic grandeur from the guitars and clean vocals. With its hungry near metalcore/death metal gait the song is outstanding, a thrilling and riveting explosion of raw intensity and inventive adventure. Unfortunately this is the only time the album really fuses the furthest reaches of the extremes involved and for personal tastes one cannot help thinking that if the whole release had been approached from the same direction this would surely be an album of the year contender here.
To be fair though the rest of the release is nothing less than impressive just in a different way, the songs eclectic and individual which one can never find a resistance to. The following Metabolic and White Shades for example both excite and please with their more conservative though no less inventive base. The first is an infectious storm of powerful riffs and rhythms speared by fine melodic craft and an excellent electronic caress upon the ear before the explosive climax. Its successor offers a slower emotive atmosphere to make its introduction, its expressive warmth and charm though still brought with an incendiary bruising breath and captivating melodic elegance.
As mentioned the album features some guests, the first coming on Burn It All with the additional vocals of Finnish vocalist Kari Vähäkuopus (Catamenia). It is another towering track of metal and melodic rock fused into an enterprising and impressive union. It does not venture near the depths and harsh assault of the first song but still offers a thumping mix of power and fine melodic skill. The other guest appearances come from violinist Anne Vitorino d'Almeida on the Celtic toned One More Day and the strongly emotive Old Man, whilst keyboardist Ged Ryland (ex-Ten) lights up the song Brave Enough. This song returns to the more harsh and aggressive presence which opened up the album and again elevates the band onto another plateau from their already heady heights. It is a brawling maelstrom of intensity and energy brought with sheer melodic dazzling beauty which only just falls short of the tasty assault which opened the album.
Scar For Life is a band one can only see getting better and better which ever direction their future explores. We hope it is one with even more attitude and bite though the melodic might they possess, as shown by 3 Minute Silence, must never be diminished. One of the strongest albums this year without doubt.
Since forming in 2008 Portuguese band Venial Sin has slowly emerged as one of the more interesting and inventive metal bands, their fusion of black/death metal with progressive rock an intriguing and stirring mix. Their new EP Sphere Of Morality marks their arrival as a real force and a band suggesting even great things ahead. The release is a compulsive and at times mesmeric melodic gem brought forth upon an intense and aggressive heavy atmosphere. It makes one work and immerse within its weighty mass to find all of its elegance and creativity but is accessible from the first introduction too, ensuring one wants to delve deeper.
Since its beginning Venial Sin has refined and brought richness to their sound, from the uncomplicated and basic first four track demo World Reset to this their new EP. Their sound has evolved and found a defined breath and pulse of its own which sets them apart from most other melodic death and black metal bands. In the EP the melodic aspects of their sound is to the fore and in many ways leads each song but never to the expense of the darkened intensity and formidable power the band demand attention with. Elements of groove metal and grind frequent the corridors of Sphere Of Morality too adding to the flavoursome and unpredictable music.
Autumn 2011 saw a line-up change with founder members Pedro Matos (guitar/vocals/ synths) and Helder Guedes (drums) bring joined by Renato Sousa (vocals), Rafael Pinto (guitar), and Gustavo Gonçalves (bass). The EP itself though was first started on by the band at the beginning of the same year with Venial Sin recording the release between January and June in the Blind & Lost Studios in Stª Marta de Penaguião, and mixed and mastered by Guilhermino Martins. The result is a collection of six songs that take one down darkened avenues of thought and invention whilst lighting the way with flames of melodies and beacons of inspired creativity.
Opening track A New Rose not so much assaults the senses but pulls them to immediate attention with stirring synths and eagerly pacing riffs. It swarms around the ear whilst softening it up with intimidating rhythms and aggressively driven guitars. The vocals of Sousa growl with a guttural depth that matches the predatory bass and heavier riffs to give a fine attack but it is when the band step into a openly melodic atmosphere and defined craft that the song lights up, especially with the caressing synths and excellent clean vocals of Sousa taking over. The band than merge these elements wonderfully keeping the senses enthused and mesmerised with intelligent enterprise, ingenuity, and craft. The song marks the territory the rest of the release frequents in their individual guises, a thoroughly impressive adventure.
The following Prepared For Battle and Novembers Fall are equally as mighty and pleasing, the first bringing a direct venomous black metal attack to blister emotions with a caustic intensity as scorched as the harsh vocals and the second enveloping the ear and beyond with a searching melodic invention from its start. Novembers Fall brings both sides of the band into a truly outstanding union, the striking almost cruel sounds and intent eager companions to the evocative and emotive progressive imagination that spreads through every pore of the song.
The stunning Real End is one of the two biggest highlights of the release, a provocative progressive piece of songwriting which inspires individual thoughts and images. Predominately a melodic electric caress the track still does not refuse the intense and imposing side of the band, lacing the music with a muscular energy. The equally immense and hypnotic Vanishing Into… leaves one breathless and fully drawn into the grand atmospheres pervading it and the whole release. With grooves which wind around the ear with a teasing grasp and middle eastern inspired melodies that sway and mesmerise with the allure of a siren, it is a glorious piece of invention.
The inventive and again deeply rewarding closing title track completes what is an outstanding EP. Sphere Of Morality is for most the first introduction to Venial Sin but will not be the last we hear or enjoy from the band. Released through Infektion Records it is one of the more impressive progressive blackened metal releases in a long time and as is the band a must investigation for all.

Xbox 360 Elite launches today! It may lack the razzle-dazzle of a true next generation console release (this is a marketing relaunch). But, is significant in so much as Microsoft can now begin aggressive price reductions, in earnest and much to Sony's chagrin, and introduce the feted Falcon - the internal codename for their updated Xbox 360 motherboard housing smaller, cooler, 65nm Xenos and Xenon chips - and improve product reliability!
The "red ring of death", as it's known to gamers, has fuelled consumer anxiety and resistance since the Xbox 360 debuted, overheating, in holiday 2005. Subsequently the console has attained the brand diluting reputation of an alleged 33% hardware failure rate. With the benefit of hindsight it appears that I was wise to cancel my pre-order!
The Elite includes a 120GB hard drive, a high-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) port, a high-definition cable, and a premium black finish for the console, wireless controller, and Xbox Live headset.
A welcome iterative upgrade, the Elite still falls short compared to the PS3's multimedia credentials! The form factor remains unchanged, the Falcon isn't in mass production yet, and there's no Wi-Fi or HD DVD out-of-the-box. And, perhaps a deal breaker for some, US-based gamers are already reporting that the Xbox 360 Premium console is now sporting HDMI too!
This calls into question the Xbox 360 Elite's desirability and value. However, I'll leave that vexing conundrum to you and daydream about playing Virtua Fighter 5 (Xbox 360) on a redesigned machine using 45nm chips. Have a good weekend y'all.

COMPUTEX Taipei 2010 - Qualcomm held an exclusive media showcase at Computex today where it took the opportunity to introduce press to some new gadgets that are based around Qualcomm technology called the Snapdragon platform.
Snapdragon is not a new platform as it was introduced back at Computex last year, but the purpose of this event was to show off some of the new devices that have just entered the market or are about to go on sale at little later this year.
We were first shown the Dell Streak which was first shown earlier this year at the Davos World Economic Forum in January. It's an intriguing little device that is a fusion between a smartphone, tablet and mobile internet device. It is able to take photos at 5MP and playback 720p video rather smoothly as you can see in the video above. We also got a look at a new smartbook as well as a prototype reference tablet system designed to showcase what Qualcomm silicon is capable of doing.
