In a surprising move, Apple is releasing a tool to help users cut down on their phone use. This is one of many announcements expected to be made this week at the much-anticipated Apple Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).
In the annual event in San Jose, California, Apple CEO Tim Cook will announce a variety of software updates as well as a plan for the future. This software-focused event is aimed at developers. Traditionally, Apple uses its annual September event to roll out new hardware, including its latest iPhones. This week, users can expect to sneak a peek at the new iOS 12 operating system, as well as the latest uses for the new iWatchOS 5, iMac, and the macOS 10.14.
In a somewhat contradictory move, Apple will introduce a tool to assist people in breaking their addictions to their phones. The "Digital Health" tool will be included in the new iOS 12 feature. Spurred by users demanding more parental controls on their phones, this tool can help track and set parameters around time on chosen apps in an effort to curb the usage of these applications and the phone in general. Apple is following the lead of Android by releasing these tools designed to silence phones after a predetermined time.
As always, Apple will devote a significant amount of time to their venerable operating system, the iOS. Apple will continue to capitalize on the growing industry of augmented reality. According to Reuters, iOS updates will now enable multiple iPhone users to look at augmented reality tools while near each other. This will be especially appealing to kids and teens who like to hang out on their phones in the same room but still interact.
Technology experts also hope that Apple will use this opportunity this week to announce a much-needed refresh of the voice-activated Siri tool, as well as possible updates to its HomePod smart speaker. Apple lags behind the market on both of these products and has been working feverishly over the last few months to make strides against the competition.

Wellwoman Original is the original vitamin developed just for women and has been formulated for the demands of modern life and to give support to the areas of health which are of most relevance to women. The comprehensive daily multivitamin contains a wide range of nutrients and trace elements including Evening Primrose and Starflower Oil.
Wellwoman contains a spectrum of micronutrients for all-round nutritional support including vitamins B6, B12 and iron which contribute to normal energy release. Folate, pantothenic acid and vitamin B12 also contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
Evening Primrose and Starflower Oils are included in Wellwoman along with a wide range of nutrients and trace elements to support the areas of health which are of most interest to women. The formulation contains vitamin B6 which contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, plus iron which contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin, an important consideration during the monthly cycle. Also includes 400mcg folic acid which contributes to maternal tissue growth during pregnancy which is important if you're planning a pregnancy or there's a chance you might get pregnant.
Looking after your immune health is important throughout the year, not only in the winter months. Wellwoman includes selenium and zinc which contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin B6 and B12 also contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system.
Most of us would like a little extra support for our skin, hair and nails. Vitamin C is included in the formulation as it contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin. Collagen is the substance that gives skin its elasticity. Plus biotin, niacin (vit. B3), zinc and riboflavin (vit. B2) all contribute to the maintenance of normal skin. Zinc also contributes to the maintenance of normal nails and biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair.
Based on years of international clinical research, the comprehensive Wellwoman formula is well balanced, even including the exact level of folic acid recommended by the Department of Health for women from the first day of conception to the twelfth week of pregnancy - because women of child-bearing age sometimes need nutritional support before they even know they are pregnant.
Wellwoman Original is available in the UK from Boots, Superdrug, Tesco, Sainsburys, Asda, Waitrose, supermarkets and pharmacies, health stores including Holland & Barrett. Alternatively order online here.

Would you give up your smartphone for 365 days in exchange for $100,000? Vitamin Water is willing to take that bet. The Coca-Cola subsidiary produces vitamin infused water and with a rich parent like Coke, the company can certainly afford seeding this contest. To enter, you need to send a photo to the company's Twitter or Instagram page (@vitaminwater) explaining why you need a break from your smartphone, and what you would do with all that free time you'll have. Vitamin Water says to "go wild, be out there, and wow us." You must include the hashtags #nophoneforayear and #contest.
Vitamin Water will choose one participant who will have to give up his or her smartphone in exchange for a old fashioned cell phone that only makes and takes calls. If you are selected and can go 365 days without even holding your smartphone even once, you'll be $100,000 richer. Would you be able to make it without your connected handset for a year?
You have from now until Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at 11:59 p.m. ET, to submit an entry. Everyone is allowed to enter as many as four times. And don't even think about cheating. Vitamin Water plans on using lie detector tests to make sure that the lone contestant isn't sneaking a peak at Twitter or Instagram on the sly.
Get a small tablet and/or a watch for IM and you're set.

War Zone In Ferguson: How Billions In Military Weapons Ended Up In The Hands Of Local Police
Ferguson, Mo., is one of many American cities that has received battle gear from the federal government. The program was started to counter drug activity but critics say it encourages police officers to adopt a "warrior mentality."

As chaos has engulfed Ferguson, Mo., each night since Michael Brown was killed, one recurring image has dominated the story: that of police clad in armor, carrying military-style weaponry.
The highly militarized police response to the protests in Ferguson has been widely observed — and widely criticized. Writing for Business Insider, former Marine Paul Szoldra catalogued the military weaponry on display in Ferguson, then observed that "this is not a war zone [...]. This is a city outside of St. Louis where people on both sides are angry." Journalist Glenn Greenwald wrote Thursday that the events in Ferguson are "the destructive by-product of several decades of deliberate militarization of American policing." And soldiers have begun to draw startling comparisons between their own armaments and those of the police.

The police weren't always this militarized. In fact, American cops appearing and acting more like soldiers is a relatively new development.
The first SWAT teams were organized in Los Angeles in the late 1960s as a reaction to the Watts Riots, but militarization took a great leap forward in 1990, when Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The act allowed the military to transfer excess gear from the Department of Defense to local police agencies for "counter-drug activities." A few years later, the ball that began rolling with the NDAA became the 1033 program.
The program gives local police departments access to military-grade equipment like M16 rifles, military aircraft, and Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicles.

The Ferguson police participated in the 1033 program.
Michelle McCaskill, a spokeswoman for the Defense Logistics Agency, told USA Today earlier this week the Ferguson Police Department had participated in the 1033 program. Most recently, police in the St. Louis suburb received two vehicles, a trailer, and a generator in November from the Department of Defense.

The Ferguson police aren't alone. In fact, the program turned over nearly half a billion dollars worth of military gear to thousands of police departments in 2013 alone.
According to the Defense Logistics Agency, "more than 8,000" law enforcement agencies participate in the program, which has also distributed $4.3 billion worth of gear since it began.
Many states, including Missouri, have online systems to facilitate participation in the program.

According to a recent study on militarized policing, SWAT deployments tended to result in more use of force. The study also found that SWAT teams overwhelmingly impact minorities.
The study — conducted by the American Civil Liberties Union and released in June — paints a dire picture of militarized policing in the United States. It argues that militarization encourages police officers to adopt a "warrior mentality," then chronicles numerous cases in which SWAT depolyments have killed and injured innocent bystanders. The study further found that "there is almost no oversight of SWAT at the state or local level." Federal oversight also is lacking, the report adds.

The report echoes some of the concerns raised last year in the Wall Street Journal by Radley Balko, author of Rise of the Warrior Cop. Balko also noted that SWAT teams in smaller cities have proliferated. Last year the Associated Press also reported on the lack of restraint in the military giveaway program.

The growing militarization of police forces may "doom community policing," according to the Department of Justice.
In a report from 2013, the Justice Department raised concerns about SWAT teams, as well as other military-style uniforms and training. The report decries the "us versus them" mentality that these developments have created in American police forces.
Observers of the chaos in Ferguson this week seemed to agree. Attorney General Eric Holder said Thursday in a statement that the Department of Justice would offer assistance so local police didn't have to rely "on unnecessarily extreme displays of force." He also expressed concern over "the deployment of military equipment and vehicles."
Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul went even further, responding to Ferguson in Time by saying that police militarization makes it "almost impossible for many Americans not to feel like their government is targeting them."

Minecraft studio now officially part of Microsoft
Jessica Citizen
Microsoft's buy-out of Minecraft studio Mojang is now complete. The $2.5bn acquisition was revealed in September.
Xbox boss Phil Spencer made the announcement via Twitter:
It's official, today we welcome Mojang to the Microsoft Studios family. We're excited for the possibilities ahead w/the Minecraft community.
While many things will stay the same for Minecraft (and Scrolls, which is officially out of beta testing next month), there's a few big changes afoot.
As Mojang put in a statement:
Change is scary, and this is a big change for all of us. It's going to be good though. Everything is going to be OK. Please remember that the future of Minecraft and you – the community – are extremely important to everyone involved. If you take one thing away from this post, let it be that.
The most significant difference for Mojang under Microsoft? No Notch. Markus "Notch" Persson, known as the man who created Minecraft, has officially left the company following the acquisition – and it's a decision he doesn't take lightly. The rampant success of his hobby project has blown him away, with the developer explaining "I don't make games with the intention of them becoming huge hits".
I can't be responsible for something this big. In one sense, it belongs to Microsoft now. In a much bigger sense, it's belonged to all of you for a long time, and that will never change.
If you're a fan of Minecraft on other platforms, don't worry: Microsoft has pledged to continue supporting the game in all its forms, including PlayStation and iOS, as well as Windows PC and Xbox.

Altered dopamine signaling a clue to autism
Published	 Wednesday 4 February 2015	 Published	Wed 4 Feb 2015
Adapted Media Release
Newly discovered genetic variations linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) disrupt the function of the dopamine transporter, suggesting that altered dopamine signaling contributes to this common developmental condition, according to a Vanderbilt University-led research team.
Two different inherited genetic variations in two different families of children with ASD "converged" to produce the same changes in nerve function and behavior, the researchers report in EBioMedicine, a new online translational medicine journal published by editors at The Lancet and Cell Press.
This is the first report of two different ASD-associated variations producing the same neural and behavioral changes in a Drosophila (fruit fly) model, said Aurelio Galli, Ph.D., professor of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics and of Psychiatry, and corresponding author with Kevin Erreger, Ph.D., and Heinrich J.G. Matthies, Ph.D.
The Vanderbilt researchers currently are developing a mouse model to confirm these findings, and they are working with biopharmaceutical firms to develop more effective treatments for ASD that specifically target the dopamine transporter, he said.
"We're looking at a network of molecules that disrupt dopamine neurotransmission in different ways but ... they converge sometimes with the same mechanism," Galli said. "We've never seen anything like that before."
Dopamine is a neurotransmitter involved in reward behaviors, including appetite, addiction and social interaction.
Normally the dopamine transporter "sweeps up" excess dopamine from the synapse or gap between nerve cells. Amphetamine paradoxically reduces hyperactive behaviors in children with ASD by causing the transporter to work in "reverse," and thus increase the supply of dopamine in the synapse.
Working with James Sutcliffe, Ph.D., associate professor of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics and of Psychiatry, the researchers identified inherited variations in the dopamine transporter gene and in the gene for syntaxin 1 (STX1), a protein that regulates the transporter, in two families of children with ASD.
Mimicking the molecular properties of either of the two mutations in the Drosophila fly model disrupted amphetamine-induced locomotion, demonstrating a reduced behavioral response to the drug amphetamine, said Galli, whose team in 2013 reported the first model of a spontaneously arising mutation in the dopamine transporter associated with neuropsychiatric disorders.
Locomotion is a good model for reward behaviors, he said, because "you have to move to get food; you have to move to do anything you like."
"We are starting to look at the function of the dopamine transporter in a completely different way," Galli said. "We understand molecularly what is happening to the dopaminergic system and how now to target it."

Solid State Power Amp Reviews
Audio Research VTM200 monoblock power amplifier Page 2
Next to arrive was a package from Harmonic Technology. I had spoken with company president Jim Wang, who offered to send a 20' pair of balanced Pro-Silway II interconnects, a 1.5m pair to run between my processor and preamp, and an 8' pair of Pro-9 speaker cables. I was more interested in putting some good interconnects between the amp and preamp than in getting involved with more speaker cables, but I agreed to give them a listen.
Wang wasn't finished. He suggested that I listen as well to the company's Magic Woofer speaker cables: separate runs for plus and ground on each channel. I rolled my eyes as he told me that a number of his dealers felt that the Magic was the cable to use with Audio Research tube amps. "Okay, okay, I'll give 'em a shot."
Cable Changes Everything
With Harmonic Technology Pro-Silway II interconnect in place of the old cable, there was a significant change: The bass firmed up and rejoined the music, the midrange took on a richer, more full-bodied texture, and the top remained extended, detailed, and ultra-revealing, but not quite as bright.
Later, I inserted the Harmonic Technology Pro-9 speaker cables, and things improved even further in the same directions. Finally, I substituted Harmonic Tech's Magic Woofer speaker cables, which are intended for full-range use and for the woofer half of a bi-amped or biwired system.
The sound had grown more musically satisfying with each cable upgrade, but with the Magic Woofer cable, the system finally began to communicate the music's emotional center—though still not as effectively as the Hovland/Nu-Vista 300 combo had effortlessly the first time I heard it. It was as if a switch had been thrown. I know that sounds a bit dramatic, but it was unmistakable, and was reinforced when I tried another expensive set of interconnect/speaker cables, then one more "reasonably" priced. Neither of those sets was able to pull it all together as well as the Harmonic Tech cables—at least with the ARC VTM200s.
I have never heard so cable-dependent an amplifier. Perhaps the VTM200's sensitivity has to do with its claimed extended bandwidth of 200kHz, which indicates an output transformer of extremely high quality. But no doubt: with the Amati Homages and the Ayre K-1x, the VTM200 monoblocks sounded best with the Harmonic Technology Pro-Silway II/Magic Woofer combo. That's what I used for the review.
A Big Sound
The ARC VTM200 was musically generous, powerful, rhythmically forceful, and "fast." Nothing warm or mellow about it, but, with the right cable, it could sound very coherent, harmonically and rhythmically, with fast, snappy, very cleanly rendered transients. It possessed tremendous drive and authority. The bottom end was very, very solid and well-controlled, with fine renderings of kick drums and acoustic bass. The lower mids to mids had the airy give of a good tube amp, while I found the upper mids and lower highs to be slightly opaque and somewhat lacking in liquidity. The top end was dead quiet, airy, open, and detailed, with a slight bit of dryness.
But don't forget the other variable: the Ayre K-1x. If you go back and read last September's review of the Audio Research Reference Two line stage, you'll appreciate what would appear to be the tight, jigsaw-puzzle sonic fit between the Ref. Two's slight warmth and its bit of softness on top and the tonal balance of these monoblocks. I felt obliged to hear these amplifiers with the Reference Two, both because I think their sound has been tailored to fit the preamp, and because I suspect it will be part of the system most Audio Research dealers will use to demo them.
Enter the Ref. Two
Fortunately, the sample of the Reference Two I had reviewed was still in New York, spending time in Jonathan Scull's system, so I was able to get it back and substitute it for the Ayre K-1x. After two days of extended listening I found that the combination featured the expected improvements: slightly more weight and warmth on bottom, though the amps hardly were in need of that, and a bit more of the expected "give" and warmth on top.
The payoff was an even more dynamic, more exciting and detailed sonic picture. The combo created an enormous soundstage that maintained proportionality as it grew in size. Image solidity and three dimensionality became "Viewlex-like." The combo rendered The Band's eponymous album better than I've ever heard it, though as the album, recorded in Sammy Davis Jr.'s poolside cabaña, was known for its murk, the VTM200's high-frequency character was a perfect match.
I spent one evening playing well recorded rock LPs such as Tom Petty's Full Moon Fever, and even Fleetwood Mac's Rumors on a plain vanilla Reprise pressing, which is the best—and I've heard all the contenders! I concluded that this system was an absolute stunner in terms of sheer power, dynamic expression, imaging, low-level retrieval of detail, and rhythmic tautness. The presentation was exciting, bracing, and invigorating. It was the kind of sound you can just stay up and listen to late into the night. And I did.
The next session, after a sufficient warm-up, I hit the classical shelves and I played an evening's worth of orchestral and solo music on LP (using both original pressings and reissues) and CD. In the end, while the insertion of the Reference Two gave strings greater suppleness and warmth, I still found the presentation on the dry, analytical side. Classic's 45rpm edition of The Royal Ballet, Gala Performances has intoxicating string sound. Though the overall presentation was nothing short of "visually" spectacular, I couldn't get the delicacy and bloom I'd hoped for from this recording.
I had to conclude: If you're looking for "lush," you've come to the wrong place. The VTM200 was ruthless and revealing on top. It was not a softening or homogenizing agent. And, as John Atkinson noticed when he gave the amps a listen before taking them back to Brooklyn for measurements, they seemed to put surface noise in the same image space as the music, which made them somewhat less attractive when listening to vinyl that was anything less than mint.
However, with good vinyl and good-sounding CDs, and with the right associated equipment and cables, these amps put on a great show. When everything was right, tracks like Peter Case's superbly recorded "Put Down the Gun," from The Man with the Post-Modern Fragmented Neo-Traditionalist Blue Guitar (Geffen GHS 24238), had everything: tremendous kick-drum weight and authority, snares that snapped and cracked as they do live, and bright but sweetly shimmering cymbals. The acoustic and electric guitars had just the right mix of body and pick on string, and a sensation of "digging" on strummed strings that any guitarist would recognize as real.
On Walk With Me, a superb-sounding gospel recording by the Arc Choir (Mapleshade 04132), the spread of the group across the stage and the immediacy of the massed vocals and handclaps raised the hairs on my neck—which let me know that the system was really communicating the music. Until I'd optimized the system with the right cables, that hadn't happened. Still, using the Ayre preamp, there was more of an unnatural physical edge to the vocal images and the handclaps than I would have preferred, though there was greater detail than I'd been used to (and more obvious tape hiss from this analog recording).
Jackson Browne's debut album, Saturate Before Using (Asylum SD 5051), was stunning through the VTM200s. The background singers on "Dr. My Eyes" appeared as individuals in three-dimensional space as I'd not heard them before, and Jesse Davis' electric guitar popped dynamically from the left speaker with startling clarity. I've always regarded this as a somewhat dull recording; the detail and crystalline clarity the ARCs brought to the top end served as a perfect complement.
Debussy's Images for Orchestra (Charles Munch/Boston Symphony, RCA/Classic LSC-2282, LP), which positively glowed through the Hovland/Musical Fidelity combo, had a slightly drier quality. The VTM200s' rendition was equally enticing, with a greater sensation of the hall space but a drier and less lush orchestral presentation. The amps' ability to layer instruments front to back while suggesting the arc of their placement on the stage was as effective as I've heard in my room with the Amatis, and held true for all of the well-recorded classical albums I auditioned.
In short, I ended up enjoying my time with the VTM200s but wishing for a bit more...something.
No one in his or her right mind would spend $14,000 on a pair of monoblocks based only on a rave review, and this hasn't been exactly a rave. Nonetheless, I hope this mixed review will not stop anyone interested from auditioning this powerful amplifier. It has a great deal to offer, especially in terms of orchestral weight, dynamic authority, and resolution of detail, and, I suspect, might have more to offer in association with other electronics and loudspeakers and cables.
I've heard Audio Research's superb-sounding VT100 Mk.II and VT200 stereo amplifiers in a variety of systems using non-ARC preamps both tube and solid-state, and the VTM200 shares a similar sonic signature—except for its top end, which seemed to be somewhat out of touch with the rest of the spectrum. If you don't need this much brute force and don't want to spend this much, I'd suggest checking those less expensive amps out as well.
Even with cables that seemed to reconnect the top with the rest and flesh out the midrange somewhat, I had a problem with the sound of strings, which were frequently thin and rarely sensuous, even on recordings well known for superb string tone. In any case, the VTM200 demands very careful component and cable matching to sound its best, and its tonal balance—at least in my system—suggests that it was designed to be used with Audio Research's own Reference Two line stage, or a similarly rich-sounding preamplifier.

Expansion of Islam and Military Campaigns - Campus At Zarud And Sharaf
Home > History > Khalifa Umar > Expansion of Islam and Military Campaigns-Expansion of Islam and Military Campaigns - Campus At Zarud And Sharaf
Saad arrived with his force of 4,000 at Zarud and went into camp. The troops were spread in the region, and couriers were sent to all the tribes in Northern Arabia calling the tribesmen to war in the name of Allah. As a result of these efforts about 7,000 warriors were recruited from the tribes particularly the Bani Asad and Bani Tameem. Among those who joined the Muslim forces was Taleaha who had during the apostasy campaigns of the time of Abu Bakr claimed to be a prophet and had fought against the Muslims. He had escaped to Syria where he was converted to Islam. Those who had once apostated were not allowed by Abu Bakr to be recruited to the Muslim forces. Hazrat Umar, because of the large scale campaigns to be undertaken lifted the ban. Availing of this concession Taleaha and his tribesmen joined the Muslim forces in Iraq in large numbers.
Umar sent another force of 4,000 men to join the main army at Zarud. The strength of the army at Zarud now rose to 15,000. Muthanna with 3,000 men was stationed at Sharaf some sixty miles from Zarud on the main route to Iraq.
From Zarud the main Muslim army marched to Sharaf, and they arrived there in July 636 A.D. Before Saad arrived, Muthanna was dead. In his will Musanna had desired that Saad bin Abi Waqas should marry his widow Salma bint Khasfa. He also left a message for Saad which ran as follows:
"The Muslims should not fight the Persians when they are concentrated in their homeland, but should fight them on the boundary near the desert. Thus if Allah should give the Muslims victory, they will have whatever lies behind the Persians, and if the result is otherwise, they can withdraw into a region the routes whereof they know best and of which they are masters-until Allah decides that they should return to battle."
Saad prayed for the soul of Muthanna. He paid rich tributes to his bravery. In fulfilment of the will of Muthanna, Saad married his widow Salma. He was impressed with the parting advice of Muthanna, and decided to follow it. He reported this advice to Umar who approved of it.
Umar instructed Saad as follows:
"Organise the army into tens and let the men know their units.
Appoint the commanders of the corps and let them see and know their men.
Give the contingents Qadisiyya as the meeting point.
Get Mugheera bin Shu'ba to join you with his cavalry.
Comply with these instructions and then write to me."
Saad organised the army in accordance with the instructions of Umar. From the Uballa sector Mugheera bin Shu'ba joined Sad with his cavalry of 800 horse.
Umar next instructed Saad as follows:
"March with the Muslims from Sharaf towards the Persians.
Place your faith in Allah and seek His help, and know that you are advancing against a people whose numbers are vast, whose equipment is superb, whose strength is great and whose land is difficult. Even its plains consist of rivers and heavily-watered land. When you meet them or any of them, attack them fiercely, but beware of facing them if they are all together. Let them not trick you, for they are wily plotters and their ways are not your ways.
When you get to Qadisiyya, remain there and leave not your place. They will find your continued stay intolerable and will come out against you with all their strength of horse and foot. And if you stand fast against them, you shall overcome them, and should they ever assemble again in great numbers, they shall do so without hearts.
And should the result be otherwise, you will have the desert behind you and can withdraw into a region which you know and control and of which they are ignorant and afraid. And there you should stay until Allah decides victory for you and you return to battle."


It is unusual for a well-established preserved railway to be forced to close, but fortunately, in one case, this proved not to be the end of the story. Don Benn reports on the revival of one of France's best-known heritage lines.
Lamastre on July 8, 2003.
We have visited The Chemin de fer du Vivarais, or the 'Le Mastrou' as it is also known, many times over the 40 odd years we have been going to France, and although its superb scenery remains, of course, the terminus is now an air-conditioned modern building some miles out of Tournon, near to the beginning of Le Gorge du Doux.
This is somewhat out of character by comparison with the ancient locomotives and rolling stock being used, but was a necessary part of the reopening of the line in 2011, using a number of grants, and in view of the refusal of SNCF to allow the dual-gauge running into the town centre station in Tournon-sur-Rhône to continue.
The line was originally part of a network of metre gauge lines around Vivarais, built between 1898 and 1903, but closed in 1968.
A tourist operation started over part of the line in 1969, running from what is now the terminus at St-Jean-de-Muzels to Lamastre and extended into the terminus at Tournon-sur-Rhône in 1970, a total distance of 33 kilometres. It continued without much change for the next 35 years, but lack of funds to maintain the line and rolling stock forced closure in 2008. Reopening started with a Velorail service in 2011, with the steam service following in July 2013.

Professor Eytan Sheshinski joins the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) as a Senior Researcher in the Center for Governance and the Economy
Top Israeli economist, Professor Eytan Sheshinski, has joined IDI as a senior researcher in the Center for Governance and the Economy, under the leadership of Dafna Aviram-Nitzan.
Sheshinski will deal with the challenges of society and economy in Israel, in the mid to long-term, including reforming the pension system and reducing the inequality inherent in it. His work comes on the backdrop of concerns that maintaining the current situation will jeopardize the future of pensions for Israel's young people. Sheshinski's preliminary conclusions will be presented later this year at IDI's Eli Hurvitz Conference on Economy and Society.
Sheshinski's areas of expertise include public economy, the economy of natural resources and pension systems.
Sheshinski is a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and was a guest lecturer in leading universities around the world. He headed many governmental committees, including those that decided on how to tax natural gas, oil and other natural resources. The conclusions of his work were adopted by the Knesset (Sheshinski Law of 2011 and the second Sheshinski Law of 2015). Sheshinski also served as head of the board of directors of Koor Industries, Ltd. and the boards of multiple other large public companies. He is a professor (emeritus) in the department of economics at the Hebrew University.
To set up an interview with Prof. Sheshinski, please contact Maayan Hoffman, Director of International Communications, at 972-50-718-9742 or jaffemaayan@idi.org.il.

Getting help can mend family ties and reduce abuse.
Being abused by a sibling is painful and can cause intense stress. Whether physical abuse, such as hitting, or verbal abuse, such as name-calling, it is critical to find ways to protect yourself. By talking to your sibling, setting up boundaries, taking time away and getting help, you can deal with an abusive sibling and move on to more fulfilling relationships.
Abuse is never the fault of the one being abused, and this is critical to remember. In some cases, an abusive sibling will respond to conversation, particularly if the issue is verbal abuse. Tell your sibling how their insults make you feel, and ask if there is a particular reason that these hurtful verbal attacks are occurring. In some cases, jealousy is an issue as children compete for their parents' attention (and these competitive patterns can persist into adulthood). But at the root, you may find that your sibling feels inadequate or disconnected. They may also have other stressors at school or work that they are "taking out" on you. Let your sibling know that you empathize and still care about them, but that it isn't okay for them to treat you that way. If all else fails, bring a parent into the conversation or seek professional help to work through the abuse safely.
If you live in the same home with the abusive sibling, and the abuse is physical, having locks on your doors may help, though it is a short-term solution. In this case, speak to a parent or another trusted adult who can assist in keeping you safe from your abusive sibling. Don't be afraid to contact authorities if your safety is at stake.
Those with abusive siblings are more likely to have a hard time in school, reports 2007 research published in the Economics of Education Review. From difficulty completing homework assignments to trouble concentrating on exams, due to stress, those with abusive siblings end up with lower GPAs. For this reason it is critical to get assistance, if you are currently taking classes, either from a guidance counselor or your teachers.
In adulthood, these behavioral patterns — if not dealt with previously — can manifest as difficulty completing work assignments if your abusive sibling is overbearing or pushing boundaries. Avoid your sibling if you know you have work to complete, whether in school or at work. Refuse to answer phone calls when you're working on a project, or complete it at the library or somewhere else where your sibling cannot harass you. Being able to move forward and setting yourself up for a brighter future is a great start in dealing with sibling abuse.
In households where one child is abused, there is significant risk to the others who live there, most notably a higher risk of fractures and hospitalizations from abuse, according to 2012 research published in the journal Pediatrics. Children who see violence are more likely to act out these scenarios later. And while all children who live in a home may not be abused, individuals who are being hurt may act out towards siblings. Even in later adulthood, mental health problems are common in those who have been abused at younger ages, notes research published in the journal Child Abuse and Neglect.
If you suspect that your abusive sibling was a victim before they became an abuser, discussing this with them via phone may be a positive thing. Opening up a dialogue with understanding, hope and help may go a long way in reducing these behaviors. However, if you currently live with your abusive sibling or are under eighteen, speak to someone else about this issue, such as a school guidance counselor, in order to get assistance and avoid injury. Getting professional assistance for both of you can help you to deal effectively with an abusive sibling.


For roughly $200, you can get a counterfeit green card that's almost as good as the real deal.
Finding a fake green card isn't difficult. I know this because after a half hour of looking online, I was already emailing with someone who said he or she could make one for me.
The response came in seconds from a Gmail account. "Yes, we are capable of providing you with the green card, but the cost will depend on how soon you will need the green card." The email described two tiers of service: I could get the counterfeit green card in four days for $180 plus $55 in postage. If I wanted rush service—a two-day guarantee—I'd have to pay $280.
Both prices seemed like a steal compared to my legitimate green card (I'm Australian, married to an American), which cost me more than $1,500 and weeks of DIY paperwork to avoid expensive legal fees, which can easily run into the thousands. For some people, it takes months or years to achieve permanent resident status. And what do you win once you get that coveted green ID card? The ability to legally work anywhere that will hire you, freedom to travel across US borders, and the option of applying for some types of government aid—all benefits citizens take for granted, but is incredibly important for immigrants trying to live in the US.
So it's not surprising that when the real deal proves too difficult to get, many immigrants have looked for extralegal means of acquiring phony documents that can fool at least some of the people, some of the time. And where there's a market, there are merchants to take advantage of it.
"There is certainly money to be made," said Jack Morris, the unit chief for identity and benefit fraud at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Morris said the government agency made 1,282 arrests in 2015 related to document fraud, including counterfeit green cards.
The operations that produce these cards, along with driver's licenses and social security cards, are known as document mills. They can range in sophistication from one guy with a laptop to huge operations bringing in millions of dollars, according to Morris.
One of the biggest document mill busts came about in 2010 as a result of "Operation Phalanx," an investigation into a Virginia-based group that had created about 15,000 IDs—including green cards—in one year alone. The document forging ring stretched across 11 states, wired more than $1 million in profits to bosses in Mexico, and even kidnapped and killed their rivals.
Plenty of forgers are willing to risk arrest, and some aren't particularly subtle. On Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, for example, people advertise "papeles" (or "papers" in English) the same way vendors on Canal Street peddle fake Louis Vuitton handbags.
"We get constituents that come in almost daily telling us, 'I got stopped by at least four guys that wanted to sell me a fake ID, a fake green card,'" said New York State Senator Jose Peralta, whose district includes the avenue. He calls it the epicenter of fraudulent IDs for the tri-state area.
Peralta said a typical transaction takes about two hours: A runner posts up on the street, soliciting customers. Another person creates the IDs, usually in a small room behind a legitimate business like a bodega. Once the product is complete, another runner meets the customer at a different drop-off location.
The counterfeit green card market exploded in 1986, when Congress passed the Immigration Reform and Control Act, which made it illegal to hire those who don't have work permission in the US, according to Roy Fenoff, an assistant professor at the Department of Criminal Justice at the Citadel, South Carolina.
"At that time, the [real] cards were not that high-quality," Fenoff said, which made for an easy counterfeiting job.
When Morris started his career as an ICE special agent in 1988, he said, the document mills looked more like somebody's arts and craft hobby than anything criminal.
"We would typically find blank card stock, a typewriter, scissors, laminate, and a laminating machine," he said. "People were honestly cutting out photos and gluing them onto a green card and typing in a person's name."
Since then, green card counterfeiters have become more advanced in order to counter new security features like holograms and tilting ink, which changes color depending on what angle you look at it.
"Good quality printers and scanners that people can get from the local Staples, they are able to put together something that even the experts have a hard time evaluating," said Fenoff.
Avoid Plan Driver Of Vehicle And Ahead To Motor Impacts License One thing counterfeits haven't been able to copy, according to Morris, is the credit card–like magnetic strip. This means a counterfeit green card is useless for entry into the US, where Customs and Border Protection agents scan it. Employers can also punch the numbers into E-Verify, an online system from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that verifies if someone can legally work in the US.
These phony cards are far from perfect. One immigrant, who spoke to me on the condition of anonymity, told me she got her fake green card through a friend of a friend. She moved to the United States from Slovakia in 2013, in search of a higher-paying job. But when she started looking for work with her fake green card, two restaurants turned her down for jobs because other employees had already presented either the same fake Social Security number or the same fake USCIS number listed on her green card.
"I am not sure how many have the same numbers as I do in Manhattan," she told me.
Even though it's likely that millions of people like her are using fake green cards, Morris said ICE's main focus is bringing down the counterfeiters, not going after individual immigrants.
Peralta, the state senator, has proposed legislation to change selling or manufacturing forged government documents from a class D to a class C felony in New York, raising the penalty from a maximum of seven years in prison to up to 15 years. The bill passed the Senate last year, and Peralta hopes a vote in the Assembly will push it through this year.
Even so, he says, the only legislation that would eradicate the business of counterfeit green cards for good would be a law making it easier for undocumented immigrants to live and work in the US—that means immigration reform at the federal level. As Peralta put it, "The only way is if we stop the demand, if there is a path that leads toward citizenship."

"Creating Jewelry is a way of self-expression. I have always felt that jewelry is meant to be worn to enhance the natural beauty of the person wearing it. Working with the crystals and butterfly wings has really brought an appreciation for Mother Nature's natural beauty. Combining the two creates a beautiful symmetry. All the crystals have been carefully selected based on natural color (no color enhancements or dyes) and cut for added luster and vibrance. My hope is when you wear a piece of my jewelry that you are reminded that we are all created from this same beauty and to appreciate this beauty inside of each of us and all around us."

"I'm a Swiss Artist, originally from Lugano. I been painting and sculpting since I was very young. I had my work exhibited at Miami Art Basel 2012 and at Scope Miami 2015
My style varies from painting to painting. I really don't find enjoyment in painting the same style repeatedly. I work with whatever mood or feelings I have at that moment, which brings a different result every time. I love to experiment with different materials and techniques. For the most part I don't really go back to any specific style again. I love using primary colors, they are the most vibrant of all colors, they vibrate on a positive level. I have done my job as an artist if my work brings happiness and warmth to your life". - Maranesi
Our next artist is part of a father and daughter talented team..
Grigoriy Zekhtser
"Grigoriy escaped from the Soviet regime and came to the United States at the end of the 20th century seeking asylum. His love, passion, and inspiration for art stem from his daughter's paintings. His art exhibits abstract themes using vibrant colors. Specialized paint techniques include resin and acrylic. "
And joining her father..
Alina Zekhster
"Art is my passion. I enjoy painting, exploring different techniques, and new
mediums to convey my art. My work features the use of diverse styles from using watercolors and acrylics to silk and oil painting. I enjoy fashion Illustrations and specialize in abstract paintings. The use of oil in my paintings exhibits character, strength and resiliency, while a silk medium conveys the importance of delicacy and luster.

In Era Of The Pitchforks, Goldman Sachs Employees Wanted To Give The Ignorant Twits Of The World A Piece Of Their Mind
When asked by Fortune why people could possibly want to work at Goldman Sachs, which doesn't have a free cafeteria like Google or a super nice gym or compensation wildly better than those of some other Wall Street firms, one employee defensively answered, "People on the outside are not aware of the feeling...The sense of family and belonging that comes from working here is like none other." People, it seems, just don't get what it's like to work at a place where you feel safe and warm. Where you can go to Lloyd Blankfein if you're in trouble. Where everyone's got your back. And where you have theirs. Meaning you would do anything for them. And by anything, we mean an-y-thing. And not just the standard getting rid of hookers stuff but, just, as an example, putting a cap in the ass of a guy who cut them in line at the movie theater and then suggested they were to blame for the near-collapse of the economy. Which is what some GS employees have been wanting to do for a while, and would've if Papa Blankfein hadn't held them back.
In fact, employees urged management to fight back against the criticism from the public and from the media. A common theme throughout the employee comments was why Goldman was taking a beating in the press without returning fire. "I think we need to have a more robust public and media relations campaign, in order to stave off the uninformed/misinformed press," wrote one employee. Urged another: "Take a PR campaign out to Main St."

Goldman Sachs Can Fix This
A week ago today, a man named Greg Smith resigned from Goldman Sachs. As a sort of exit interview, Smith explained his reasons for departing the firm in a New York Times Op-Ed entitled "Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs." The equity derivatives VP wrote that Goldman had "veered so far from the place I joined right out of college that I can no longer in good conscience say I identify with what it stands for." Smith went on to note that whereas the Goldman of today is "just about making money," the Goldman he knew as a young pup "revolved around teamwork, integrity, a spirit of humility, and always doing right by our clients." It was a culture that made him "love working for the firm" and its absence had stripped him of "pride and belief" he once held in the place. While claiming that Goldman Sachs has become virtually unrecognizable from the institution founded by Marcus (Goldman) and Samuel (Sachs), which put clients ahead of its own interests, is hardly a new argument, there was something about Smith's words that gave readers a moment's pause. He was so deeply distraught over the differences between the Goldman of 2012 and the Goldman of 2000 (when he was hired) that suggested...more. That he'd seen things. Things that had made an imprint on his soul. Things that he couldn't forget. Things that he held up in his heart for how Goldman should be and things that made it all the more difficult to ignore when it failed to live up to that ideal. Things like this:

The Ten Days of Repentence: Don't Tweet it, 10Q it!
September 28, 2011 by PJV Contributor Leave a Comment
Reflect. React Renew
Life's Biggest Questions. Answered by you.
— by Tanya Schevitz
In an era where most reflection happens publicly in 140 characters or less, the 10Q project provides a private, deeper online forum for personal reflection beyond the waffles you had for breakfast.
Timed to coincide with the Jewish New Year, traditionally a time of introspection and self-reflection, 10Q is a unique project that, started today, will email participants of all backgrounds a question a day about the year that's past and the year to come. After the 10-day period, the answers are sent into a digital vault. A year later, the answers are returned to participants and the process begins again.
"Thanks to new technologies like texting and Twitter, people have more opportunities than ever to express themselves, but fewer than ever to express themselves well," said 10Q co-founder Ben Greenman, a New Yorker editor. "What 10Q wants people to do is what people should want to do for themselves — to reflect on life without worrying about status updates."
Last Thursday, 10Q partnered with the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philadelphia on a roundtable discussion at the Museum on reflection. 10Q's Greenman moderated a panel including the Hebrew Mamita, Vanessa Hidary, and authors Charles London and Matthue Roth.
While the 10Q project is a reinvention of the ancient ritual of reflection between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, and occurs during the Jewish High Holidays, it is intended for people of all backgrounds and has attracted participation of people of many denominations, including Catholics, Episcopalians, Buddhists and Muslims. The 10Q questions are about your place on the planet, and the planet's place within you.
And regrets are universal, so the events are intended for people to absolve themselves of everything from skipping services to that tweet you wish you never posted.
About 10Q
The 10Q website launched in 2008 and garnered more than 80,000 visitors of all backgrounds last year. Glee's Jane Lynch, Harry Potter's Tom Felton and Oscar winning screenwriter Diablo Cody all participated in 10Q last year, and beginning on September 28th, the first of the series of 10 questions will again be sent out to those who sign up at http://DoYou10Q.com. 10Q can also be found on Facebook and Twitter: @10_Q. 10Q is a partnership between Nicola Behrman, Ben Greenman, and Reboot's Acting Executive Director Amelia Klein.
About Reboot.
Reboot is a catalyst to catalysts – a growing network of thought-leaders and tastemakers who work toward a common goal: to "reboot" the culture, rituals, and traditions we've inherited and make them vital and resonant in today's world. In partnership with the Reboot network, we create opportunities for our peers to gather, engage, question, and self-organize with their own networks, in their own way, in their own time, using the magazines, books, films, records, local salons, gatherings, and events we develop together. Reboot has a track record of reinventing Jewishrituals for a broad audience, including the Sabbath Manifesto project that had Katie Couric telling the nation to unplug, the Sukkah City project that had New Yorkers paying attention to 12 re-imagined Sukkahs in the City's Union Square Park and DAWN, a revision of the traditional holiday of Shavuot as a cultural arts festival at the California Academy of Science in San Francisco.
10Q 2011 Questions:
Describe a significant experience that has happened in the past year. How did it affect you? Are you grateful? Relieved? Resentful? Inspired?
Is there something that you wish you had done differently this past year? Alternatively, is there something you're especially proud of from this past year?
Think about a major milestone that happened with your family this past year. How has this affected you?
Describe an event in the world that has impacted you this year. How? Why?
Have you had any particularly spiritual experiences this past year? How has this experience affected you? "Spiritual" can be broadly defined to include secular spiritual experiences: artistic, cultural, and so forth.
Describe one thing you'd like to achieve by this time next year. Why is this important to you?
How would you like to improve yourself and your life next year? Is there a piece of advice or counsel you received in the past year that could guide you in this project?
Is there something (a person, a cause, an idea) that you want to investigate more fully in 2011?
What is a fear that you have and how has it limited you? How do you plan on letting it go or overcoming it in the coming year?
When September 2011 rolls around and you receive your answers to your 10Q questions, how do you think you'll feel? What do you think/hope might be different about your life and where you're at as a result of thinking about and answering these questions?

Free Noisemaker Gragger App for your iPhone this Purim
March 19, 2011 by PJV Contributor Leave a Comment
Happy Purim!
Just in time for this year's megillah reading! Now, you can use your iPhone to participate in a customary Jewish megillah reading experience-using a noisemaker, or gragger, to drown out Haman's name. Noisemaker Gragger is a free iPhone app from Behrman House Publishers pre-loaded with fun sounds and you can even record your own sounds to play when you hear Haman's name. It even works like a traditional gragger, just spin it around above your head to make noise. Give your students a link to download this app (it's free!) and explain that the action (of using the gragger) reminds us to use our voices to speak louder than the voices of evil.
The Noisemake Gragger app is a virtual gragger on your iPhone. You can pick from different sounds or record your own and twirl your iPhone like a gragger to make noise. Remember to wait for Haman's name.
Get Noisemaker Gragger on iTunes now.

Laird Hamilton is a superman. I don't just mean that in the sense of being my hero (although he is that.) I mean that he has superhuman capabilities, can do things that other people can't, and is able to survive things that would kill most of us mere mortals. On a surfboard, he is faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and is able to surf waves that are bigger than tall buildings.
Laird Hamilton is just one example of a new breed of superhumans Steven Kotler highlights in his book, The Rise of Superman. The league of daredevil heroes also includes Felix Baumgartner, who transfixed the world by skydiving to earth from space, blowing all other skydiving records out of the water; Travis Rice and Jeremy Jones who took free mountain snowboarding to a whole new level, taking on the most rugged and sinister terrains in Alaska; or Shane McConkey who invented "billy goating" when a skier "hops and pops" to find the patches of snow to ski down a treacherously rocky mountain.
According to Kotler, these modern supermen developed their superhuman prowess by "flow-hacking," literally reprogramming the way their mind and body work together. We've all experienced flow, those moments when we become immersed in a challenge, our skills click into place, and we lose all sense of self and time. But while most of us find flow in a hobby, on a tennis court, or playing a musical instrument, these athletes do it while defying death at over 100 miles an hour.
But such is the power of flow. When you achieve a flow state, it is like bypassing your prefrontal cortex so your body can respond to miniscule changes in the environment faster than the speed of thought. When we tap into flow, we are not only fast and efficient, but we feel really good. Flow is the key to the "near-exponential growth in ultimate human performance" that we have seen from super-athletes like Laird Hamilton.
For extreme athletes, flow is far more than a warm, fuzzy feeling they get from practicing the sports they love. It is a matter of life or death. "In situations where the slightest error could be fatal," said Kotler, "then perfection is the only choice—and flow is the only guarantee of perfection . . . flow is the only way to survive in the fluid, life-threatening conditions of big waves, big rivers, and big mountains." As Danny Way, the skateboarder who took a death-defying ramp jump over the Great Wall of China, said, "It's either find the zone or suffer the consequences—there's no other choice available."
Because these athletes take flow to such extremes, they show us what is possible. And because we live in a world where such performances are broadcast over the internet, the bar is always being set higher and new records are regularly broken.
Take Tony Hawk for example, widely known as one of the greatest skateboarders of all time and the first skateboarder to successfully complete a "900," two and a half rotations in the air. It took Hawk 13 years of attempts before he finally pulled it off. Since Hawk's accomplishment, a dozen other skateboarders have managed to hit the move, including a 12 year old Tom Schaar who then went on to do a 1080 (three rotations, watch the video.) Just after reading Kotler's book, I saw a story about Asher Bradshaw, who just made a 900 at ten years old. What will this generation do when they hit their peak?
This is why The Rise of Superman is such an appropriate title for Kotler's book. Extreme sports is creating a new breed of athletes that are "hacking flow" to develop super human capabilities. But those new skills don't just pop up in isolated individuals, they set new frontiers, raising the bar on what humans are capable of (see "How the Internet is Making Us Stronger, Faster and Fitter.")
For contemporaries of Laird Hamilton, all we can do is watch in awe, dumbfounded by his accomplishments. But thanks to Laird and other extreme sports athletes, a new generation is growing up in the world with an expanded perception of what is possible, and a growing body of knowledge on how to use flow to get there.

How wonderful to shine your light on life's possibilities, flow and grit. To see people visioning what they want to accomplish, not giving up, staring adversity in the face and finally accomplishing their dreams. Only to re-set their goals to do even more. These ARE WOW! accomplishing folks with super courage and integrity. Many thank and well done, Jeremy.

Hey Jeremy! Hacking flow is probably the best way to make life truly incredible. I love the research coming our from Steven and the rest of the people at Flow Genome Project. Honorable mentions to Mihaly to, of course.
Keep up the good work! I really like the name of your website, by the way.

A funeral has been held for a Palestinian man shot dead during a protest at the fence separating the Gaza Strip from the Israeli-occupied territories.
As Reported by Qods News Agency (Qodsna) The body of 23-year-old Tamer Arafat was carried through the streets of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Israeli troops shot and killed Taamer after they opened fire on Palestinian protesters rallying near the fence.
Gaza health authorities say more than 250 people have been killed since Palestinians launched weekly protests on March 30 last year. They are demanding the right to return to land from which their ancestors were forced to flee during Israel's creation in 1948.
A young Palestinian man has died three days after being critically injured during clashes between Israeli troops and Palestinian protesters participating in an anti-occupation rally along the fence between the besieged Gaza Strip and the occupied territories.
