Where Have We Published?
Voices Israel is the natural home for Israeli poets writing in English, and for those abroad who support our goals and share our enthusiasm for poetry. From our initial launch by four founders in 1971, we have grown to a membership of around 150 poets in Israel and many other countries. We are a fully-accredited and approved organization registered since 1993 with the Israel Organizations Authority.
For fuller information:
see our About Voices page;
Come visit our Facebook page!
download our flyer and email it to others who would like to hear about us.
We also have a short flyer for notice boards. If there's a place where English speakers gather - why not print it out and pin it up there?

To renew, just fill in our membership form and sending it by mail with a cheque, or by email with details of your bank transfer or Paypal payment, to our Treasurer.

Full details, and the form to fill in, are on our Join Voices page.
We're always happy to welcome new and established (yes and would-be) poets into our family!

modest annual membership fee, which covers our costs and entitles you to a free copy of the Anthology and reduced fees for workshops.
What We're Doing
It's hard to meet when we're in isolation! Till Corona is over, we are Virtual Voices Israel. But many of our groups are holding "meetings" this month via Zoom - details are in the Newsletter sent to all our members. Would-be members who'd like to join a meeting: please see our Contacts page to get in touch with your local group coordinator. While we're meeting via Zoom, you're free to ask to attend, as a guest, any of our local meetings. For members with no convenient local group, we also have a Global Group which includes members from both Israel and abroad.
We've announced the winners of the 2020 Reuben Rose competition:
First prize: "David's Shield," by Ricky Rapoport Friesem (Israel)
Second prize: "Lantern Fish," by Jane Seitel (USA)
Third prize: "The Burden of Memory," by Esther B. Lipton (UK)
The full list including those whose poems gained an Honourable Mention, and recordings (where available) of the winning poets reading their poems, is on the Reuben Rose Winning Poems 2020 page. The texts of the poems will be posted there as soon as available.
We've extended the submission period for the 2nd Bar Sagi Young Poets Prize to the end of February 2021. Do pass on this information to any families with teenage children who like to write poetry in English! For details, see our Bar Sagi Prize webpage.
Our Upper Galilee group's "Formal Elements in English Language Poetry" class will hold its next meeting, via Zoom as usual, on Wednesday January 20th at 5 pm. It will focus on poets of the late 19th century, starting with Christina Rossetti and others. As usual, please email Reuven Goldfarb if you would like to attend.
We held our first "mini-workshop" - two one-hour presentation-plus-exercise sessions, via Zoom - on December 29th, on the subject of Metrical Poetry. The 25 participants seemed to enjoy it, and there were no technical glitches. We look forward to publishing an e-chapbook of edited versions of the poems produced at the workshop. We have another workshop planned for early March, right after Purim - details TBA.
We held the joint awards event for the first Bar Sagi Young Poets Prize plus the 2019 Reuben Rose competition on October 27th, 2020, via Zoom. Once again we had a great attendance with over 40 people zooming in to hear the young winners of the Bar Sagi prize, and the more seasoned winners of the Reuben Rose competition, read their winning poems. At the end of the event we held an Open Mike at which 14 of our members read their poems. Further details of this lovely and much-appreciated event are on the competitions' respective pages:
The Bar Sagi Young Poets Prize event: see the Bar Sagi Awards Event page. The texts of the winning poems and one Honourable Mention poem can be accessed and downloaded from that page or directly via this link (PDF file).
The Reuben Rose competition event: see the 2019 Competition Prizegiving page; the texts of the poems can be accessed and downloaded from that page or directly via this link (PDF file).
We held the 2020 Voices Israel Anthology launch event on September 22nd. Over 50 members attended from Israel and abroad, and 37 read their poems - our biggest event ever! We were delighted to welcome members zooming in from Ireland, the UK, the USA and Canada. For a fuller account of this lovely event, and screenshots from our Zoom video of it, see the 2020 Anthology Launch page.
On September 13th we had a very enjoyable poetry-reading event for our North American members, ably organized by our active member Diane Ray of Seattle, WA (thank you again, Diane!). Nine US and Canadian members read their poems, with a focus on poems that have been published in the Voices Anthology. Judy Koren as President and Dina Yehuda as Chief Editor of the Anthology were also invited to attend and read poems, and there were a few guests from both the U.S. and Israel. Zoom worked perfectly and another member, Ellen Jaffe of Toronto, has already expressed hopes to organize a similar event, perhaps after Chanukah (thank you, Ellen!). North American members, watch this space! We have produced an e-chapbook from this event, sent to all those who attended it.
We've added a PayPal option to our website! In the Corona era, and especially for our members and followers outside Israel, this is the easiest method. Unlike paying by check, you can complete the transaction from the comfort of your sitting-room; unlike paying by bank transfer, PayPal does not charge you for the service. For full details plus PayPal payment options, go to one of the following pages:
New members can join us, and current members can renew their membership, via PayPal from our Join Us or Renew Membership page.
Non-members can buy our annual Anthology, and members can order extra copies of it, via PayPal from our Buying the Anthology page.
We held our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday May 26th, by Zoom, at 6 pm. A record number of people attended including two members from the United States. Susan Olsburgh stepped down as President after five energetic years, and Judy Koren was elected as the new President. Susan Rosenberg also stepped down as Membership Coordinator, and we welcomed Edit Gavriely who is taking over from her. We showed our appreciation and thanks to both our Susans with a bookshop gift card and a big bouquest of flowers (delivered to their homes since there is a limit to what Zoom can manage!). After the formal meeting concluded, we once again enjoyed an Open Mike session in which members each read a poem.
We've updated the Members' Directory, including adding our new members and adding bios from among those submitted for the anthology. Please check your entry in the Directory and if anything needs changing - or if you don't have a bio in there and want to send us one, let our webmistress know! Members please note that it's arranged by region you live in - in a few cases this is not the same as the group you attend.
We've also updated the Literary Magazines page of our Useful Links resource-list with a section for Magazines of Formal and Metrical Poetry. This type of poetry is not currently in fashion, especially not in the U.S., and for those of our members who are more naturally drawn to these forms rather than free verse, it's often hard to find outlets to publish in. That task just got easier. It's the second section on that page, after the Lists of Literary Magazines. Our resource list is fairly frequently updated so do check it out when looking for where to publish, or tools to aid the poet's work.
We have announced the winners of the First Bar Sagi Young Poets' Prize competition: three prize-winners and one Honorable Mention. The judges were poets Susan Bell, Itamar Blumfield and Wendy Dickstein. To see who were the winners, and a link to the text of the winning poems, visit our Bar Sagi Competition page.
We've added several poetry magazines to the list of those that accept international submissions on the Literary Magazines page of our Resource List - and to the list of those that have published our members' poems in the past year - worth checking out if you're looking for a new place to publish in.
Visit to the National Library: on Thursday February 5th a strong contingent of Voices members from all over Israel visited the National Library of Israel in Jerusalem. We fulfilled the legal requirement to deposit two copies of the 2019 Voices Israel Anthology with the Library; many of our group of poets also deposited their own poetry publications, in accordance with the National Book Law. We were then treated to the privilege of an especially curated exhibition of poetic treasures, by the museum's chief archivist.

Blumenthal calls for declassification of materials detailing Russian threat to US elections
By Tal Axelrod - 08/08/20 05:47 PM EDT
© Greg Nash
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said intelligence detailing Russian efforts to influence the 2020 elections should be declassified and made available to the public before ballots are cast.
In an op-ed in The Washington Post, Blumenthal wrote that he reviewed classified information on the Capitol this week and concluded that the November elections are "under attack." He went on to say he was "shocked" by what he learned and "appalled" that the information has not been made available to voters.
"The facts are chilling. I believe the American public needs and deserves to know them. The information should be declassified immediately," Blumenthal wrote.
The Connecticut Democrat said he still believes in proper classification of information that can protect sources and methods but accused the Trump administration of politicizing intelligence by overclassifying information. He claimed that overprotecting this kind of information keeps voters in the dark about attempts by foreign powers to interfere in the elections.
"Unnecessary classification politicizes the national security apparatus and, in this case, keeps the American people in the dark about efforts by foreign adversaries to destroy the bedrock of the nation's democracy: free and fair elections," he said.
"The Trump administration's refusal to share with the American public any information about the Russian threat to the November election is simply unacceptable," he added.
Blumenthal also went after Republicans on Capitol Hill, saying they've already politicized intelligence with probes into former Vice President Joe Biden Joe BidenTrump grants clemency to more than 100 people, including Bannon Scalise bringing Donna Brazile as guest to Biden inauguration Sidney Powell withdraws 'kraken' lawsuit in Georgia MORE and accusing them of spreading a Russian disinformation campaign.
"Instead, by keeping the facts cloaked in secrecy, the Trump administration and its Republican allies on Capitol Hill invite disinformation and give deception a toehold in the American electorate. And it now appears that such disinformation and deception are gaining a toehold in Congress as well," he wrote.
Blumenthal even name-checked Sen. Ron Johnson Ronald (Ron) Harold JohnsonGOP senators call for commission to investigate Capitol attack Wisconsin Democrats make ad buy calling on Johnson to resign Efforts to secure elections likely to gain ground in Democrat-controlled Congress MORE (R-Wis.), the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, noting his probe into Biden and accusing him of receiving documents from the son of a former KGB officer.
Johnson, who has become a close ally of the White House and has received flak from Democrats who say his investigation is meant to hurt Biden in an election year, fired back Saturday on Twitter, accusing his Democratic colleague of "twisting" classified briefings.
"It is a flat-out lie that I received the documents from Ukrainians that Democrats keep claiming. And they know it. It is unconscionable that Democrats and the press continue to report it," he said in a lengthy Twitter thread.
"The only ones responsible for furthering Russian disinformation to interfere in our election are the Democrats in Congress and the Biden campaign, and the media that is willingly amplifying their lies. They should all be ashamed," he added.
7/7 The only ones responsible for furthering Russian disinformation to interfere in our election are the Democrats in Congress and the Biden campaign, and the media that is willingly amplifying their lies. They should all be ashamed.
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 8, 2020
The back-and-forth between Blumenthal and Johnson comes after months of Democrats voicing concerns that the government is not doing enough to address the threats of foreign election meddling.

Those concerns were only elevated after William Evanina, the director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, identified China, Russia and Iran as the three top foreign threats to the U.S. presidential race, warning that they are trying to "sway voters' preferences and perspectives," create conflict and "undermine the American people's confidence in our democratic process."
Evanina said intelligence had concluded that China does not want Trump to win reelection because it considers him "unpredictable," and Iran is trying to "undermine" U.S. democratic institutions and the president.
He also said that officials had determined that Russia is trying to "denigrate" Biden, noting the Obama administration's policies on Ukraine and its support for opponents to Russian President Vladimir Putin Vladimir Vladimirovich PutinRussia's Putin and Navalny collide; who will survive?

Donald Trump will continue ''carrying out his duties without disruption'' whilst he recovers from coronavirus.
The President's physician, Sean P. Conley, has released a statement to insist Trump and his wife Melania are doing well after it was revealed they tested positive for COVID-19.
In a formal letter, Conley wrote: ''I release the following information with the permission of President Donald J. Trump and First Lady Melania Trump. This evening I received confirmation that both President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for the SARS-CoV-2 virus. The President and First Lady are both well at this time, and they plan to remain at home within the White House during their convalescence. The White House medical team and I will maintain a vigilant watch, and I appreciate the support provided by some of our country's greatest medical professionals and institutions. Rest assured I expect the President to continue carrying out his duties without disruption while recovering, and I will keep you updated on any future developments.''
The President of the United States confirmed on Twitter that they have coronavirus, after a close aide tested positive for the virus.
He wrote on Twitter: ''Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER! (sic)''
Melania wrote on her own Twitter account: ''As too many Americans have done this year, @potus & I are quarantining at home after testing positive for COVID-19. We are feeling good & I have postponed all upcoming engagements. Please be sure you are staying safe & we will all get through this together. (sic)''

DOWN THE STRETCH
• Veteran jockey Tyler Baze, 37, will return to Southern California on a full-time basis after an eight-month absence beginning Sept. 19, opening day of Santa Anita's fall meet. Baze will be represented by Jack Carava, who is ending his training career after 33 years to try his hand at something new in the industry. "The time is right," the 54-year-old Carava told Santa Anita publicity. "I've had a lot of success with Tyler over the years and he's probably the hardest-working jock I've ever known. I love training, but my stable has contracted over the past couple years and when Tyler called me, I realized this is a great opportunity."
• Del Mar's abbreviated 27-day meet was a success, despite no fans because of the pandemic. Online wagering showed a dramatic rise, accounting for an 8% increase in overall betting handle. California online wagering increased by 125% from 2019 and out-of-state wagering grew by 65%. "Given the extraordinary circumstances, we are very pleased with our results," Del Mar CEO Joe Harper said in a statement. "The racing product was first rate and players around the country responded in kind."
• Sixteen stakes worth $2,250,000 will be offered by Del Mar this fall as the track hosts its seventh fall meet, known as the Bing Crosby Season, beginning Oct. 31. The track maintained the same purse amounts for its stakes as presented in 2019. First post daily will be 12:30 p.m., with the exception of a special Thanksgiving Day card on Thursday, Nov. 26, when first post will be 11 a.m. Nine of the stakes are graded, including the $300,000 Grade I Hollywood Derby for 3-year-olds on the turf on Nov. 28 and the $300,000 Grade I Matriarch Stakes for fillies and mares on the grass on Nov. 29.

Are Engines the Future of Solar Power?
Stirling engines might be the best way to harvest the power provided by the sun
By Cynthia Graber on December 30, 2009
Nearly 200 years after their invention, and decades after first being proposed as a method of harnessing solar energy, 60 sun-powered Stirling engines are about to begin generating electricity outside Phoenix, Ariz., for the first time. Such engines, which harness heat to expand a gas and drive pistons, are not used widely today other than in pacemakers and long-distance robotic spacecraft.
The 1.5 megawatt (MW) demonstration site, known as Maricopa Solar, is set to begin operations early January 2010, with units provided by the Arizona-based Stirling Energy Systems (SES). While 1.5 MW is only a fraction of the power that may be generated at sites SES has contracted to develop in California and Texas, spokesperson Janette Coates says this is a necessary first step in the technology's commercialization. "It's important for our industry to see—and our partners and investors—that we can take a small-scale plant and get it operational before we break ground on larger ones," she says.
That's because Stirling heat engines have a reputation for being a bit impractical. First invented by Robert Stirling in 1816, the engines use a heat source to warm gas, which expands and is pushed into another chamber. When the gas cools and contracts, it flows back. The expansion and contraction pushes a piston, which in turn produces electricity.
In 1996, SES bought solar Stirling design and engineering patents from companies such as McDonnell-Douglas and Boeing. SES then partnered with Sandia National Laboratories, and over the next decade tweaked and refined the technology. In the SES SunCatcher, a circle of curved mirrors, resembling an upturned satellite dish, tracks the sun on two axes and reflects the sun's heat onto a single focus point, the power conversion unit (PCU). The PCU contains four cylinders, in which hydrogen gas expands and contracts to move pistons.
Stirling engines are significantly more efficient at converting sunlight into energy than most photovoltaic panels or concentrating solar power plants, whether parabolic trough or tower designs. The test units have reached 31 percent efficiency, compared to 16 percent for parabolic troughs and about 14-18 percent for PV panels in use today (though newer designs not yet on the market range from 24 to as high as 41 percent). The high efficiency numbers alone, however, have not made Stirling an easy sell. The systems have been criticized as being too expensive, unreliable and requiring extensive maintenance thanks to many moving parts. Also, ground has not yet been broken on either California site for which SES signed purchase power agreements in 2005, adding to skepticism that these systems will ever become commercially viable.
"At these high temperatures, with this many moving parts, people doubted whether SES could really pull it off," says Reese Tisdale, research director for solar power at Cambridge, Mass.-based Emerging Energy Research. The relatively small Arizona plant is intended to allay those concerns.
Proponents of the technology point to the advantages it has over other forms of solar power, particularly concentrating solar power (CSP), which also captures the sun's heat. Most CSP systems require significant amounts of water, which has proven to be a challenge in desert regions of the U.S. where solar power is most attractive, while Stirling engines require none other than small amounts for cleaning the mirrors. In addition, if one engine goes down, it has minimal impact on overall production.
SES faced a manufacturing challenge in preparing its SunCatchers for mass production though. "The systems at Sandia were basically hand-built," says Charles Andraka, a Sandia engineer and Stirling expert who worked with SES on the system's design. For the Phoenix site, he notes, Sandia and SES engineers built 60 units in three months. "We have to do that many in a day for the larger plants."
In order to do this, SES turned to the experts in rapid production of engines and related parts: the automotive industry. In partnership with automotive companies such as Tower Automotive and Linamar Corporation, SES managed to reduce the parts in the PCU by 60 percent (to about 650) and slash the weight of the entire system by roughly 2,250 kilograms. Andraka highlights one example of the upgrade: in the original engines, he points out, gas passed over the outside of the engine, with pieces of tubes and fittings at either end, requiring a total of approximately 20 parts. "On the new engine, the gas passage is a part of the block with no external parts. It's much more reliable, much cheaper to assemble, with fewer parts and fewer places to leak," Andraka says. The new systems have been running on test sites for more than 100,000 hours.
Maricopa Solar also represents just one scalable module; each multi-megawatt field will be grouped first in 60-engine units that come together to generate 1.5 MW, then those larger units are linked to each other to produce up to 9 MW. Explains Coates, "With the large 750 MW commissions, we won't have to wait until we have 750 MW of dishes before we start producing power. This means that the utility can get the power prior to the full build-out, which can take years to complete." This is in comparison to parabolic trough or tower CSP technology, which doesn't generate electricity until the entire system is complete.
Meanwhile, Tessera Solar, SES's sister company in charge of development, is renegotiating contracts with utilities in California but expects to supply power at or below the cost of other solar technologies, and they plan to break ground on bigger solar Stirling engine power plants in Texas and California in 2010. Tisdale says he remains somewhat skeptical, but also optimistic: "This 1.5 MW site is key to demonstrating that it works."

Alan Mudd was sentenced to two years in a young offender's institution by a UK court for creating, selling and using Distributed Denial of Service malware.
The BBC reported that the 20-year-old Mudd, who plead guilty last year, began his life of crime at 16 when he created the malware known as Titanium Stresser which he then made available for sale. At one point the malware had 112,000 registered users who, in turn, attacked 666,000 IP addresses earning Mudd an estimated $495,000 in US currency and bitcoin.
Mudd himself ran 594 attacks.
The primary targets for Titanium Stresser were gaming platforms, such as Xbox Live, along with several UK universities.
Mudd was arrested in 2015 at his parent's house.
The judge felt compelled to sentence Mudd to a sentence as a deterrent to others despite the fact that he is autistic, the BBC reported.

Legalized Pot: A Prophetic Symbol of America's Decline
9:00AM EST 11/15/2012	 Jennifer LeClaire
A man holds a sign which reads, "I Love Marijuana" during a demonstration supporting the legalization of marijuana (Reuters/Jorge Lopez)
Lawmakers have heard the cry of Reggae sensation Peter Tosh to "Legalize it." Whether you call it marijuana, weed, dank or some other slang term, America is seemingly going to pot.
Pot will soon be legal for recreational use under state laws in both Colorado and Washington. Now, officials in both states are trying to figure out how to keep stoned drivers off the road, reports The Associated Press:
"Drugged driving is illegal, and nothing in the measures that Washington and Colorado voters passed this month to tax and regulate the sale of pot for recreational use by adults over 21 changes that. But law enforcement officials wonder about whether the ability to buy or possess marijuana legally will bring about an increase of marijuana users on the roads.
"Statistics gathered for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration showed that in 2009, a third of fatally injured drivers with known drug test results were positive for drugs other than alcohol. Among randomly stopped weekend nighttime drivers in 2007, more than 16 percent were positive for drugs.
"Marijuana can cause dizziness and slowed reaction time, and drivers are more likely to drift and swerve while they're high."
Much has been said about the dumbing down of America. Ed Gogek, an addiction psychiatrist and board member of Keep AZ Drug Free, points to research that shows teenagers who smoke pot regularly do worse in school, are twice as likely to drop out and earn less as adults.
"Teenage use has been shown to permanently lower I.Q.," Gogek says. "No other drug, not even alcohol, affects academic performance like marijuana. How can we make education a focus, and then support laws that will blunt the next generation's ability to compete?"
The Bible says we shouldn't get drunk on wine (Eph. 5:18). Although marijuana isn't wine, the same principle applies. And if smoking marijuana is a stepping-stone drug to harder drugs—and it is—then legalizing pot is a stepping-stone to more sin in America, whether that's legalized heroine, legalized prostitution, or something far more nefarious.
You can't legislate morality, but we've seen over and over again that you can legislate immorality. And legalizing weed just so adults can get high is one more sign that that America is indeed going to pot. Keep praying for revival. When true revival comes, pot puffers will lay aside their peace pipes and run to the Prince of Peace.

LHWCA Longshore & Harbor Workers' Compensation Act Lawyers
When a worker is injured on the job, they want to know that their employer has workers' compensation insurance in place as a safety net. Longshore and harbor workers are not eligible for workers' compensation benefits as other workers in other industries. However, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act (LHWCA) can help resolve those issues for many seamen. If you require legal assistance to apply for benefits under the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act, you should consult with an experienced LHWCA lawyer as soon as possible.
At Rivkind Margulies & Rivkind, P.A., we welcome the opportunity to represent an injured longshore or harbor worker in their case to gain workers' compensation benefits. We understand that a serious work injury can change a person's life, and we are here to stand with you. To schedule a free legal consultation to discuss your compensation benefits, contact Rivkind Margulies & Rivkind, P.A., at (305) 204-5369. You may also contact the firm online to schedule your appointment.
How Does the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act Work?
Ordinarily, employees of a private company would be provided with workers' compensation coverage when they are injured. However, longshore and harbor workers are typically not covered under workers' compensation laws. Fortunately, the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act states that private companies that operate in the longshore, harbor, or similar maritime industries on the "navigable waters of the United States" must provide their employees with workers' compensation coverage.
Specifically, the LHWCA applies to employees who work, full- or part-time on a boat in the navigable waters of the United States or employees in the following workplaces:
Piers, wharves, and dry docks
Terminals, building ways, and marine railways
Other workplaces used to load/unload, repair, or build ships

Product Placement: "Casino Royale"
In this latest Bond movie, the British Mi6 agent is assigned the mission to thwart international terrorism financed by money won through gambling. In order to do this, he needs to track down the financier "Le Chiffre". Bond movies are classically known for the significant amount of product placement that can be found in them. Well, concerning the latest movie, Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig, Bond fans will not be deceived – although one could say this particular movie goes surprisingly light on extraordinary gadgets. But there is nothing to worry about: some brands and corporations still got enough "bang for their bucks".
Produced by Sony Pictures
The Original Soundtrack issued by the Sony BMG Music label
The main character's cellular phone
Ford Motors and the cars in the movie
Other products placed in the movie
The deal made by the German artist Gunther von Hagens
The deal with Heineken
[...] Speaking of computers, there is another product placement worth mentioning: one for the search engine Google. Only this time it is Bond's superior, who tries to locate her secret agent at the Miami airport by the means of Google. Other gadgets include the main character's cellular phone - no need to mention it is a SONY Ericsson and the one used by the Bond-Girl (Eva Green starring as is an Ericsson as well. This gadget is also repeatedly shown during the movie: during a romantic dinner between Bond and Vesper, she receives a text message, to which she replies by holding the phone in a quite ostentatious position. [...]
[...] During a chase scene which was especially designed for the company, we follow Bond from behind his car, the Ford logo appearing right in our field of vision. Concerning Range Rover and Jaguar, we can see plenty of them at the "Ocean Club" James attends at the Bahamas. When first arriving at the club, a rich client mistakes Bond for a valet, tossing him his car keys. Irritated by this confusion, Bond uses the opportunity to make all the car alarms go off when driving into the parking lot rather recklessly, and crashing into one of the Range Rovers. [...]
[...] This includes some quite heavy on-screen product placement. In an airport chase scene Bond passes through the duty- free section where a Heineken billboard happens to be hanging quite flagrantly. The second main scene starring the Heineken brand takes place at an outdoor café in Montenegro is having a drink with Vesper and Mathis, a police chief. Behind them, in the background, another billboard advertising the Dutch beer company is visible. Other products are shown without clearly displaying the brand: Bond goes through two different latest models of the Italian Persol designer sunglasses (owned by major producer and retailer of eyewear Luxottica) in the movie: When 007 first steps off the plane in the Bahamas and whilst in Venice with Vesper.

Q: Setting form data manually, with viewData value and not ModelData Going crazy, with Symfony 3.
The question is: What would be the proper way to set a value into a Symfony form, with simply setting the viewData instead of the modelData, and the form would take care of the transformation?
...with a small catch: without the usual form/request creation and handling. :)
Something like (presuming we're setting a field which is a DateTime in the DB):
$form = $this->createForm(ProperForm::class, $existingData);
$form->setPlainScreenFormattedData('myDateField', '11/29/2016');

which would convert the given date into a proper \Datetime object and nicely set it in the form?
Example and explanation:
I'm using a package for inline editing of HTML table data (Tabledit) and kind of have to stay with that package (due to time/space issues). It sends following data (by ajax) to the server:

*

*name of the form field

*ID of the data in DB

*new value to be persisted to DB

That's all nice and plays well with the saving controller - as long as it works with plain textual data. When you try to change an EntityType, or some Datetime field with it - it breaks.
And it breaks, because I try to set a plain, for-screen formatted value into either the form or the underlying object of the form.
To prevent the breaking and still have a one-for-all solution, I tried various forms of creating the given form and using, for example:
- $form->get($field)->setData($value)
- $form->setData([$field => $value)])
- $form->getData()->AProperFieldSetterName($value)

and more (like here), but none of those work, because basically, all of those are expecting for the $value to be a modelData (like it's said here).
My reasoning
I would not like to create new data transformers for this - because they are already in, Symfony knows about this form and its underlying object structure.
Also, I would not like to need to change existing solution, and to stop sending individual fields to the controller, for updating.
I could solve this with creating some manual calls to the DB to first fetch the proper hydrated objects for each field, based on given ID (like $em->getRepository('somerepo')->find($value) (for entities), or manually creating the Datetimes, and then feeding that to the form) but this all seems non-good and doubling the existing functionality.
Is there a simple way to do this data transformation? It feels like there should be one. Or did I went too far into non-Symfony ways and got lost?

A: I think you can do this with \Symfony\Component\Form\FormInterface::submit

I have been obsessed with landing web page building contractors lately as you distinguish my most current messages over the last couple of months.
With its capacity to develop total sales funnels as well as its easy to make use of as well as effective editor, ClickFunnels offers a clear challenge to LeadPages' area as the very best touchdown web page building contractor.
That's not to say that it's excellent, as well as in this customer appreciation code Clickfunnels September review I'm mosting likely to show you exactly how I have actually been using it as well as how it compares with Leadpages as well as SamCart.
By showing you the staminas as well as weaknesses of each, I hope it will certainly assist you make the most effective choice for which one to embrace in your personal company.
ClickFunnels is currently a fairly fully grown solution created by Russell Brunson as well as his team. It's currently been operating for more compared to 3 years at the time of this review.
As a fast apart, I learnt more about ClickFunnels through Russell's new book DotCom Secrets: The Below Ground Playbook for Expanding Your Firm Online. If you want to find out ways to market items, after that I very suggest it.
Unlike rival items which enable you produce solitary standalone pages, ClickFunnels is all regarding developing different kinds of advertising and marketing funnels.
A channel is essentially a collection of pages your site visitors go through to reach a certain objective and it might resemble this.
A straightforward Lead Capture Funnel might be composed of 2 pages which collects a visitor's email address and after that sends them to a Thanks web page when subscribing.
Or you can have much more sophisticated sales funnels which are composed of multiple web pages which market to a visitor with each step of the channel.
Sales Web Page Funnels– Produce this to market items as well as services, with the ability to add any kind of upsells/downsells to your sales process.
Membership Sites– Produce a reoccuring revenue by developing a complete blown membership website.
ClickFunnels features its very own distinct set of layouts for each and every of the various channel kinds it permits you to create.
It allows you to quickly create different web pages in your funnel through a simple point and click user interface.
ClickFunnels gives you rather a bit of adaptability in developing your web pages. For instance, you can quickly relocate aspects around as well as position them where you desire, which is something the Leadpages editor does not enable.
I was right away excited by the ClickFunnels on-boarding procedure. They do an actually wise point where they use you a cost-free ClickFunnels tee shirt just for watching the introduction training video clips.
It takes around 10 minutes, as well as the the training video clips do provide you a good review of just how ClickFunnels works.
Developing your first funnel is very easy. Click the Add Funnels switch as well as you are required to a screen revealing all the funnel types available.
If you are vague with just what each funnel does, there's an ingrained video you could watch which describes how it works.
For every page in your channel, you could select from the available templates. Each layout is properly created and also there is a great selection to pick from. And also, more are being added all the time.
If you do not see a layout that matches your current vision, I've found that it's equally as easy to go back to square one. This could be done by selecting any template and after that quickly erasing each of the sections on the web page.
The fundamental foundation of a ClickFunnels page is an area. A regular channel might have a header area, an over the fold material section and a footer section.
A lengthy type sales web page may likewise have an area for highlighting particular features or an area for endorsements.
Sections are then additional separated right into column rows. You can pick from a single column to approximately 6 columns and also any type of number between.
Basic widgets include Heading, Photo, Text, Button, Input kinds and also Video clip aspects.
As you mouseover any kind of section, row or component, it will get highlighted and also clicking slide in the contextual editor from the right hand side where you can alter its residential properties.
Background shades, margins, font styles, positioning can all be transformed along with component specific buildings like a certain photo url for the Photo component.
It's all fairly intuitive to use when you've experimented with points a little bit.
I have actually been fairly pleased by the editor as it strikes a wonderful equilibrium in between versatility and also simplicity of usage.
if you don't use any of those solutions, then I suggest making use of the Stripe combination considering that it is free to signup for as well as make use of.
I didn't have any type of experience with Stripe up until I tested it with ClickFunnels, but I discovered that it's an extremely basic way to take debt card repayments.
Once you have actually produced your Red stripe account, simply follow the straightforward instructions to connect it to your ClickFunnels account and also you're ready.
Whenever any individual experiences the Order Web page type of your channel, it will instantly be used to accumulate payment from your customer.
Along with assisting you produce each of the web pages in your sales funnel, ClickFunnels also assists you track exactly how each page in your funnel does.
At the top of each page, you could see in real-time the total number of visitors for each and every page in the channel, how lots of site visitors clicked the following button of the web page, as well as the conversion price.
Split testing is likewise baked right into ClickFunnels which is vital for aiding you optimize the conversion price of your funnels.
Establishing a brand-new split examinations is rather easy. The very best way is to duplicate an existing web page then fine-tune it from there.
Regrettably, ClickFunnels does not have a whole lot of advanced split testing showcases that I've seen applied in various other items like Thrive Leads.
For example, there doesn't appear to be a means to immediately turn your split examinations. As well as I would love to see ClickFunnels select a "winning" divided examination after a statistically significant quantity of information has been collected.
When it was initial launched, ClickFunnels was about producing … well funnels. However Russell had also larger passions for the product which's exactly how Actionetics and Backpack came around.
With Actionetics, you can see everybody that has decided into your checklists via your ClickFunnels in the Contact Profiles page.
What's cool is that each of your leads is provided an Activity Score, which is based upon recency, regularity, financial value and also social scores. It essentially provides you an idea which leads are most likely to purchase from you.
You can use Actionetics to send e-mail programs and also the e-mail building contractor permits you to design good looking emails. And Action Funnels are Actionetics way of developing autoresponders with some minimal marketing automation attributes.
While some of its attributes are fascinating, Actionetics still can't take on a complete fledged email solution supplier like ActiveCampaign, Drip or ConvertKit. Personally, I simply favor a standalone solution where I'm not linked right into an all-in-one option.
One of the most effective ways to improve the sales of your item is to have a terrific associate program that draws in some leading associates.
That's just what Backpack can do for you. It's essentialy a total affiliate system for ClickFunnels that you can connect to any one of your created funnels.
Inside Backpack, you can add whatever you require for associates to promote your product including affiliate links, email swipe duplicate, and banner ads. You could also configuration your associate payments as well as see exactly how well each of your affiliates is executing.
In time, ClickFunnels has actually progressed their rates plans. Initially, they had 3 different prices tiers, but its now been combined into 2.
The least expensive ClickFunnels plan is $97 a month. On this plan you obtain access to all the funnel development tools, yet you are limited to creating 20 funnels, 100 web pages as well as 20,000 visitors. However, you don't obtain accessibility to Actionetics as well as Backpack with this plan.
For that, you'll have to pick the Etison Suite plan. It includes everything, consisting of Actionetics and also Knapsack. You also get limitless funnels, web pages as well as site visitors. Nonetheless, this will run you $297 a month which is rather high.
Both strategies likewise have a 14 day totally free test so you can test things out prior to you acquire.
At this existing time, LeadPages is the dominant leader in this touchdown web page builder room.
You could conveniently see who is utilizing LeadPages due to the fact that their themes are so recognizable. Because it is so popular, a number of the leading marketers are utilizing the solution.
Russell is gearing ClickFunnels to become his flagship product, so exactly what you see currently is simply a taste of exactly what the item is going to look like in the future.
The stamina of ClickFunnels is it's simple to make use of editor. It is even more versatile than the LeadPages editor although Leadpages has captured up with their new drag and decline editor.
Limiting adaptability is not necessarily a bad thing. Since it makes building pages quick! Which's where LeadPages truly radiates.
The most reliable approach for growing your e-mail listing today is using content upgrades. By developing targeted lead magnets to your most popular articles you can obtain optin conversion prices that far exceed your typical popup.
Nonetheless, some people want even more control to produce web pages to their specific specifications. That's the power that ClickFunnels gives you. The expense of the power is included intricacy. ClickFunnels definitely has a greater learning contour than LeadPages.
The various other major benefit is that ClickFunnels creates complete sales funnels for you. As well as all your stats through each phase of your channel are tracked.
But what concerning including on an order kind? Upsells and also downsells? LeadPages can't do that, while ClickFunnels can.
If you do not mind the knowing curve and want an all-in-one solution to offer your personal item and also have the ability to customize every step of your funnels after that ClickFunnels is absolutely worth an appearance.
Ultimately, I would just recommend experimenting with ClickFunnels to see just how you like it. They offer a 2 Week cost-free trial, so you could evaluate out all the attributes and also see how it works for you.

It really is what it says on the tin. A history of the six wives of Henry VIII. Funnily enough it begins with Catherine of Aragon and her betrothal to Henry's brother, Arthur. It ends not with Catherine Parr (Henry's last wife) but with the death of Anna of Cleve's (Henry's fourth wife) who survived them all by about 10 years. This has been sitting on my tbr pile for about 6 months. I picked it up whilst reading a book on Mary Queen of Scots (also by Fraser).
A few weeks ago I watched the second season of the Tudors which is a guilty pleasure of mine. To wash away the dirty taint of guilt I decided to read this. It's well written and engaging. It's not one of those history books that seems like a chore to read. The focus is on his wives but much of Henry himself is in this book. You can't really talk about the wives without also talking about Henry. I read a book not that long ago about him (only a brief history) and I came away disgusted. It depicted him as a selfish spoiled brat of a man who is prone to tantrums when he doesn't get his own way. I still think he was those things but thanks to this book I also think he was more than that. I gained more sympathy for the man who lived in the shadow of his father. The bulk of the book is focused on his first wife, Catherine of Aragon. Not surprising considering she moved to England to marry Arthur at age 15 then married Henry in her early twenties. They were then married for 24 years before Henry was able to have the marriage annulled and marry Anne Boleyn. His marriage to the rest of his wives total just over 10 years.
It also may surprise most people that much of that first marriage was a happy one. The reason for Henry's unhappiness was biology. The inability to produce a son. The need of an heir was an obsession for Henry (as I am sure it was for many monarchs during this time) and he blamed his wives for not producing one. The book is extremely sympathetic to the wives. Fraser is famous for this sympathy and I felt it was almost biased when reading "Mary Queen of Scots". In this case though she did show the faults of all the wives but still put them across as victims, which they were. As well as sympathy for the wives I felt very sorry for Mary and Elizabeth who were made illegitimate by their own father (despite him showing affection for them). There was even sympathy for Cromwell who is notoriously depicted as a vile character. Not so here, instead he is shown as a true servant of the King.
I could go on and recount everything about this book I found interesting. Needless to say I now want to read more on Mary, Elizabeth and Cromwell. I do have a book on Mary somewhere so after a break I think that will be my next non fiction book.

Supervisors at higher education institutions cannot ignore the possibilities created by technology, and for the sake of this article, e-mail, as an aid for supervision on postgraduate level. After completing the modules for the Magister Technologiae (M Tech): Education qualification, students are required to complete a dissertation of limited scope. Many of these students cannot visit their supervisors on a regular basis, because of the time and costs involved in travelling far distances. The only time when some academics meet the students is when they attend the workshops on proposal writing. In this article the authors argue that e-mail supported supervision should be considered as an alternative to traditional one-on-one supervision. The research on which this article is based followed a qualitative design. Data were collected by means of open-ended questionnaires which were sent by e-mail to the participants and their responses were e-mailed back to the authors. The findings indicate the satisfaction of the students with e-mail supervision which enabled them to complete their studies in the prescribed time. The use of e-mail in supervision was found to create opportunities for further study even on postgraduate level.

ISRO Spy Case: SC Sets Aside Pre-arrest Bail Granted To 4 Officials Accused of Framing Nambi Narayanan
By: News Desk
Edited By: Sanstuti Nath
The apex court granted interim protection from arrest to the accused for a period of 5 weeks, subject to their cooperation with the investigation(Reuters/File)
The top court was hearing the CBI's appeal against the high court order granting bail to former Gujarat DGP R B Sreekumar, two former police officers of Kerala -- S Vijayan and Thampi S Durga Dutt, and a retired intelligence official P S Jayaprakash
The Supreme Court on Friday set aside Kerala High Court 2021 orders granting anticipatory bail to four former police and intelligence bureau officials in a case of the alleged frame-up of scientist Nambi Narayanan in the 1994 ISRO espionage matter.
A Bench of Justices MR Shah and CT Ravikumar remitted the bail pleas back to the Kerala High Court and asked it to decide the same as early as possible, at any rate "within a period of four weeks".
The top court was hearing the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) appeal against the high court order granting bail to former Gujarat DGP R B Sreekumar, two former police officers of Kerala — S Vijayan and Thampi S Durga Dutt, and a retired intelligence official P S Jayaprakash. The court had reserved the judgement on the two petitions filed by CBI on November 28.
Meanwhile, the apex court granted interim protection from arrest to the accused for a period of five weeks, subject to their cooperation with the investigation, till the High Court finally decides the matter.
"All the anticipatory bail applications are remitted to the High Court to decide the same afresh in accordance with law and in the light of the observations made hereinabove. However, it is observed that this Court has not observed anything on the merits of the case of the either of the parties and it is ultimately for the High Court to pass appropriate order," the SC order said.
"We request the High Court to finally decide and dispose of the anticipatory bail applications at the earliest, but preferably within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of these orders," it added.
The apex court had in November last year issued notice on the CBI's plea filed in the matter.
The agency had said its probe found that some scientists were tortured and framed in the espionage case due to which the development of cryogenic engine was hit, setting back India's space programme by almost one or two decades.
The CBI earlier alleged there was a clear indication that the accused were part of a team which had ulterior motives to torpedo the attempts of the ISRO for manufacturing the cryogenic engine.
While granting anticipatory bail to these four accused on August 13 last year, the high court had said, "There is not even a scintilla of evidence regarding the petitioners being influenced by any foreign power so as to induce them to hatch a conspiracy to falsely implicate the scientists of the ISRO with the intention to stall the activities of the ISRO with regard to the development of the cryogenic engine."
It had said unless there is specific material regarding their involvement, prima facie, it cannot be said that they were acting against the interests of the country.
The CBI has registered a case against 18 people for various offences, including criminal conspiracy, in connection with the arrest and detention of former ISRO scientist Nambi Narayanan in the espionage case.
The case, which had hit the headlines in 1994, pertained to allegations of transfer of certain confidential documents on India's space programme to foreign countries by two scientists and four others, including two Maldivian women.
Narayanan, who was given a clean chit by the CBI, had earlier alleged the Kerala police had "fabricated" the case and the technology he was accused to have stolen and sold in the 1994 case did not even exist at that time.
The CBI had said the then top police officials in Kerala were responsible for Narayanan's illegal arrest.
The apex court had on September 14, 2018 appointed a three-member committee while directing the Kerala government to cough up a Rs 50 lakh compensation for compelling Narayanan to undergo "immense humiliation".
Terming the police action against the ex-scientist of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) "psycho-pathological treatment", the apex court had in September 2018 said his "liberty and dignity", basic to his human rights, were jeopardised as he was taken into custody and, eventually, despite all the glory of the past, was compelled to face "cynical abhorrence".
