Mothers Know Best
By Amelia Savery, Blizzard Entertainment
To celebrate Mother's Day, I spoke with five moms of players from the Overwatch League. The more amazing women I spoke to, the more I realized they have so much to teach us about what it's like raising children in a modern world: a world of social media and societal pressure, a world that's close-but-not-quite-ready to fully embrace a non-traditional esports path. Here are some lessons about trust, love, social media, the perception of esports, choices, and letting go, from the incredible mothers of the Overwatch League.
Trust Where Trust Is Earned
Shellie Cruz became an unsuspecting viral star when her son, Houston Outlaws DPS Dante "Danteh" Cruz, posted a screenshot of her saying he should take Space for ice cream. "I know a lot of his friends in the league," Shellie told me. "I know he's been friends with Space the longest, because he was with him in Denial [from 2016-17]."
Dante, age 5.
Shellie was a young mother, finishing college after Dante was born. When he was in the third grade, he began to show amazing logic, sense, and intelligence—so much so, Shellie says, that it became difficult to argue with him when he wanted something. "He really could have been a good lawyer because it's so hard to argue back," she said. "He always makes such good arguments."
Shellie knew her boy had grown into someone she could trust, a young man who made the right decisions and had a good head on his shoulders. That's why, when he started taking Overwatch seriously, she reluctantly allowed sacrifices. She recalled the first time he missed a big family event for Overwatch. "He didn't want to go to Easter dinner," she recalled. "I was like 'What?!' I was frustrated. I said, 'OK, I trust you're making the right decision.' If he says he has to do something, he does it. Once he makes up a commitment, he goes through with it."
Dante, 20, and his mom Shellie during his traditional birthday dinner.
And he did. Not only did Dante succeed in Overwatch, he graduated high school with honors. And when the time came for Dante to move to Los Angeles for the league, Shellie knew it was the right thing for her boy—even if it hurt.
"He called me into his bedroom one day," she said. "I sat down on his bed, and he said, 'Mom, I'm moving to LA in a couple of months.' I broke down in tears." Dante was frustrated, but Shellie told him, "I'm happy for you—I'm not sad for you, I'm sad for me. Just give me a couple of minutes!"
"He understood," she said. "He gave me a hug."
Love Loudly and Block the Haters
Liz Lombardo, mother of Dallas Fuel DPS Zach "Zachareee" Lombardo, is one of the more well-known OWL moms—I'd classify her as a high-profile Overwatch League mom, a top-tier MOWL. Anyone who's part of the Overwatch League's Twitter-sphere is bound to see Liz pop up on their timeline. People love her, love that she loves her son, and love that her son loves her back.
Zach (right) playing games with his older brother Dylan (left).
"He's an honest kid," Liz said. "He's not afraid to show emotion, and he is an emotional kid. It's kind of nice when he tweets stuff about us and our relationship. He's not afraid to show he's a family kid."
Liz lives and breathes for her children, which has turned into a love of not only the Dallas Fuel, but Overwatch esports as a whole. Her household is all Overwatch, all day long. "I work from home, so from the minute I wake up in the morning, my computer is on," Liz said. "Whoru streams early in the morning, which is perfect. I have breakfast with Whoru, then Zach will stream, or I'll watch Unkoe. Typically, Overwatch is on in our house all the time. We watch Contenders, and from Thursday to Sunday it's OWL. It's on the TV and it's on all day long."
Liz and Zach in Poland for the Overwatch Contenders Season 1 Finals.
Being so involved means Liz reads just about everything on offer about her son, and she's very much aware that Zach is a polarizing personality. "He has strong fans, then he has people who can't stand him for whatever reason,'" she said. She stays away from Reddit, but is still sometimes exposed to mean-spirited messages about her son.
Her advice is simple: just block them. "If you get somebody you don't like, just block, and you don't have to deal with them again," she said. "Your timeline is your timeline, you know?"
For the most part, Liz says her Twitter interactions are wonderful. "People tweet at me and I always answer back," she said. "People out there are extremely supportive of Zach and I love that. I love the friendships he's made, and it's super that he can communicate with his fans and they can communicate with him. I always say, if you see me at an event, say hi! I love to meet everybody."
Dreams Can Take Convincing
"JP was a senior in high school and was applying for universities," recalled Stella Randolph, mother of Los Angeles Gladiators DPS João Pedro "Hydration" Goes Telles. "At that time, I was disappointed in him because he was not excited about pursuing a college degree even though he had a very good GPA and did very well in school. So in the summer of 2016 I sent him to a boot camp at Duke University. When he came back, he told me he hated computer science and what he really wanted was to play video games professionally. I told him there was no such thing, and he better apply for the universities before he missed the deadlines!"
JP, age 8, with adopted family cats Finnegan and Fiona.
JP was born in Stella's hometown in Brazil, but circumstances dictated a lot of travel early in life: mother and son lived in China for a time, then Japan, Thailand, Russia, and Denmark, before settling back down in North Carolina. "All the learning about different people and cultures truly helped him to appreciate others with different backgrounds and also banished prejudices," Stella said.
Despite all this global exposure, Stella expected a normal life for her son, and did not react favorably to JP's initial suggestion of pursing esports. When the Overwatch League opened up professional opportunities, though, Stella and her husband took the time to educate themselves. "We started reading all about the video game industry and players' careers, and we were amazed by all we learned!" she said. "We carefully examined his contract, and in the end we were okay about him pursuing his dream."
JP, age 11, with his mom Stella on a California road trip.
Stella has grown to love the game and has only missed one Gladiators match due to being on a plane. The distance is hard, but she's content knowing her son is happy. "I remember going to his bedroom and seeing all his clothes still hanging in his closet, his school backpack on a corner, and I would cry like a baby," she said. "But when that happened, I would always remind myself that he was happy and exactly where he wanted to be. That he was pursuing his dreams."
There is a Portuguese word, saudade, which has no translation to English, Stella tells me, that "evokes a sense of loneliness and incompleteness. I still feel a lot of saudades when I think about him, but I must confess, I am much better at dealing with the distance."

Esports Are Sports, Honestly
"When Corey was around 10 or 12, I said, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?'" recalled Melissa Cirafisi, mother of Washington Justice DPS Corey "Corey" Nigra. "And he looked at me dead in the face and said, 'Mom, when I grow up, I'm going to play video games and I'm going to make millions of dollars.' I remember patting him on his little head and saying, 'OK, honey, that sounds nice!' But he meant it!"
Corey, age 4.
Melissa sighs happily and laughs a lot when she talks about what Corey was like growing up. "He always had a big smile on his face, always," she said, "He was very friendly, outgoing. There were always four or five kids at my house on a daily basis."
Corey was very athletic and competitive, playing soccer year-round, but at the age of 14, he switched to being competitive in video games. "I really was cool with it," she said. "I'm not going to lie, I did get a lot of flak from not only family members, but friends. I would hear on a constant basis, 'You shouldn't let him play that game too much, he needs to come out of that room,' but Corey is extremely intelligent."
After all, Corey was in National Honors Society, took AP classes, and pulled straight As. "How can I justify telling him not to play on his computer?"
Corey, age 16, with his mom Melissa.
Melissa didn't see a kid with no motivation sitting in his room and eating chips; she saw a dedicated, strategic, high-skill activity that her son loved. And now, she can watch him fulfill his childhood dream. Melissa and her own 72-year-old mother have never missed a game—to them, it's simply a sport.
"When I see him walk out on that stage with that smile…I can't even tell you what it does to me," she said. "My heart just shines. The adrenaline I get when I watch Corey play this game, even though I don't really understand the game—I don't understand any sports, to be honest, the kids played soccer for years and I still don't know what offside is, I just know when I watch football, if I watch the Eagles and they're in the Super Bowl, I get that excitement. When I watch Overwatch League, with the commentators and everything, I feel like I understand."
The Path You Love Is Always Correct
"Most of the time, when people hear 'oh, you're an accountant,' they go a little quiet," said Carol Meissner, mother of Dallas Fuel flex tank Lucas "Note" Meissner. But Carol is not just any accountant—she's a professor who focuses on the automotive industry. "Because of the nature of the automotive industry, most of my students are young men, so trying to get them to buy into anything I have to say take a little bit of convincing. I usually ride my motorbike on the first day and that sets the right tone."
Lucas, age 7, at Horseshoe Valley Ski Resort, Ontario, Canada.
She says this casually, like it's no big deal, then drops the fact that she and her husband have matching motorbikes. A certified badass, Carol is the mother of not one, but two esports high-achievers. Raising two boys was always an adventure, she says. They both loved video games from the time she got them for free in cereal boxes.
"I used it to my advantage—they always wanted to be on the computer, so I got them educational games," she said. "I could get them to do all sorts of educational games online quite easily because that was fun for them."
Lucas, age 5, in his local soccer league's jersey.
The Meissner household was always supportive of their boys playing video games, even as they grew older, but there were ground rules. They had to keep up with school and physical activities, then they could bargain on issues like bedtimes. Once things started getting serious, Carol and her husband set up an "esports room" in the basement. "We had two gaming stations down there, as far away from our bedroom as possible, so mom and dad could get sleep upstairs," she said, laughing.
As a college professor, you may assume that "Mama Note," as she refers to herself on Twitter, would be disappointed that her son isn't partaking in higher education, but that's far from reality.
"I just want to wait and see where life takes him, not where anybody else's thoughts on what his life should be," she said. "I'm not on some sort of timeline that existed in the 1960s, where you had to go to high school, then go to university right afterward, then you had to buy a car and get married and do everything in a certain order. That is so far gone."


I don't know which of us is Brando.
Doesn't matter how far you must roam.
Fully living when we share the dawn.
That our love's deeper than a veneer.
I can promise I'll always be there.
'Twill be hard enough to carry on.
Your sweet lips all the time you're away.
And at last is much better than late.
For Drummer Boy. Because I love you.

Researchers found that common drugs in everyday use were successful in preventing a particular virus from infecting cells, by blocking the ion channels that regulate potassium levels in those cells. Ion channels normally control the balance of chemicals such as potassium, calcium and sodium within our cells.
The virus the research focused on was the Bunyavirus family, which includes lethal human pathogens such as Hantaviruses and Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever virus, a widespread disease that is becoming more prevalent in Mediterranean countries and endemic in Africa, the Middle East and some Asian countries, where outbreaks can kill up to four out of 10 people who contract it.
They found that drugs that inhibit potassium ion channels were effective against Bunyamwera virus, which is a model for all of the bunyaviruses.
Adding drugs that specifically block the ion channels that regulate potassium levels blocked the ability of all of the bunyaviruses tested to infect cells, but did not have any effect on unrelated viruses.
The viruses tested included Hazara virus, used as a model for CCHFV, and Schmallenberg virus, which causes deformities and neurological defects in unborn lambs and calves.
The common drugs used in the research included the anti-psychotic haloperidol, the anti-depressant fluoxetine, and a local anaesthetic, bupivacaine.
Dr Jamel Mankouri, of the School of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of Leeds, said: "This is a breakthrough finding since bunyaviruses are considered as emerging pathogens with the potential to establish a global disease range with massive importance in healthcare, animal welfare and economics.
"Being able to block these ion channels is an important first step in understanding how we can stop these viruses spreading and causing human disease."
"We observed that these viruses are highly dependent upon the gradient of potassium that exists across the membranes of the cells."
Academics used a live virus system to directly compare how different viruses were affected by each drug. The virus usually kills cells in our system after five days, but the study showed that the presence of protective drug compounds led to cells surviving beyond the five-day period.
By using drugs targeting specific sub-sets of potassium ion channels, they found that Bunyamwera virus and Schallenberg virus responded differently. This suggests that while the bunyaviruses are generally manipulating potassium ion channels to survive in cells, it is likely that each virus targets a specific type or group of channels to make a favourable environment to grow.
Dr John Barr, who helped develop the idea at Leeds, added: "Very few new antiviral drugs have made it into clinical use in the last 15 years. One of the main reasons is cost; these are very expensive drugs to develop.
"Taking a drug that has already been proven to be safe, and using it to target a different condition or infection - a process known as drug repurposing - bypasses this expensive and time-consuming stage.
"There are many drugs targeting ion channels that are currently in use for a wide range of conditions. Our work shows that some of these might be suitable to treat virus infections."
Dr Janet Daly, who led the team at Nottingham, said: "This project brought together experts in human and animal viruses, modelling the 'One Virology' philosophy we have here at Nottingham.
"This breadth of expertise was essential to studying these viruses as they have the ability to jump from animals to humans and vice versa."
Dr Alain Kohl, who headed up the research at the University of Glasgow, said: "If existing drugs are confirmed to be effective against known members of a particular virus family, this opens up the possibility of using these 'off-the-shelf' treatments in a rapid response against dangerous new related virus strains that emerge."

Mevasseret Zion ()
é um subúrbio de Jerusalém, Israel, é composto de dois diferentes municípios, Maoz Sião e Mevasseret Yerushalayim sob a jurisdição de um conselho local.

Mevasseret Zion está localizado no cume de uma montanha a 750 metros acima do nível do mar, na periferia de Jerusalém. Está à dez quilômetros da cidade, abrangendo ambos os lados da rodovia de Jerusalém–Tel Aviv . Tem uma população de 22,800 habitantes distribuídos por 15 bairros. A riqueza per capita é a mais alta dos municípios do Distrito de Jerusalém. O atual Prefeito de Mevasseret Zion é Yoram Shimon.

História

Área do castelo

Devido à sua localização estratégica, o assentamento na área de Mevaseret Zion remonta à antiguidade. Os romanos construíram uma fortaleza ali, conhecida como Castellum. Sobre as ruínas da fortaleza, os Cruzados construíram um castelo, Castellum Belveer, do qual nenhum vestígio permanece. Belveer é mencionado em uma carta de Eraclius, Patriarca de Jerusalém, datada de setembro de 1187, no qual ele descreve a matança de Cristãos "pela espada de Mafumetus o Descrente e o seu mau adorador de Saladino" e a conquista Árabe da cidade, que foi renomeado al-Qastal.

Durante o Mandato Britânico da Palestina, se refere este bairro como "The Castle". Os Árabes chamavam-no "al-Qastal", pronunciar o "t". Os Judeus chamaram de "HaCastel" ("o Castelo").

Durante a Guerra da Palestina de 1948, as batalhas aconteceram aqui como Árabes e Judeus lutavam pelo controle de Qastal, que dava para o main Tel Aviv-Jerusalém rodovia. Qastal trocou de mãos diversas vezes no decorrer da luta. A maré virou-se quando o Árabe comandante Abd al-Qadir al-Husayni foi morto. Muitos dos Árabes deixaram seus cargos para participar de al-Husayni do funeral na Mesquita de Al-Aqsa na sexta-feira, 9 de abril. No mesmo dia, Qastal caiu para o Yishuv forças, praticamente sem oposição.

Maoz Sião
Maoz Sião ("Fortaleza de Sião") foi criada em 1951 para abrigar os novos imigrantes do Iraque, do Curdistão, no Norte de África e o Irã , que tinha vivido em um ma'abara, ou campo de trânsito, ao pé do Castelo. Muitos foram empregados nas proximidades Solel Boneh pedreira.

Mevasseret Yerushalayim
Mevasseret Yerushalayim foi estabelecida a leste do Ma'oz Sião em 1956 por imigrantes Judeus do Norte de África. Ele foi localizado em uma colina perto da linha do armistício, a norte de Motza. Os moradores trabalhou em pomares no Arazim Vale.

A unificação de conselho local de
Em 1963, Maoz Sião e Mevasseret Yerushalayim formou uma joint-conselho local, que foi chamado de Mevasseret Zion. A origem do nome vem do Livro de Isaías: "על הר גבוה עלי לך מבשרת ציון" ("Subir uma grande montanha, O arauto da alegria de Sião") (Isaías 40:9).

Instituições
Har'el  shopping está localizado na entrada Mevasseret Zion, perto do intercâmbio de Har'el. O shopping atende os residentes de Mevasseret Zion, Maoz Sião, comunidades do entorno, bem como os viajantes da rodovia de Jerusalém - Telavive. O shopping inclui cerca de 80 empresas, incluindo campo de Golfe, s.wear e Magnolia Jewelersr.

O primeiro McDonald's kosher do mundo abriu lá em 1995.

Arqueologia
Entre abril e Maio de 2003, uma escavação de salvamento arqueológico realizado em Nahal Sorek Rua em Mevasseret Zion veio a tona um antigo túmulo caverna datados de meados do Período do Segundo Templo. As ruínas de uma estrutura medieval, Khirbet Beit Mizza, estão localizados em Mevasseret Zion, acredita-se ser o sítio da cidade bíblica de Motza mencionado no Livro de Josué 18:26.

Esportes
Mevasseret Zion tem uma equipe de futebol e uma equipe de basquete do time.

O Hapoel Mevasseret Zion, joga no File Liga Gimel, Israel é o 5º da liga. Começou como Hapoel Mevasseret Zion e, em seguida, unidos com Ironi Abu Ghosh, e tornou-se o primeiro Israelense time misto a partir de um Árabe aldeia e um Judeu da cidade. Em 2007 Mevasseret-Abu Ghosh foi unido com o Hapoel Katamon, e, em seguida, separados novamente. A equipe é construída de Árabes e Judeus jogadores, e participou de amistoso internacional torneios para a paz.
A equipe joga no local um campo de futebol chamado "Hamigrash Hayarok" o Que significa, em hebraico, o campo verde. A capacidade é de cerca de 200 pessoas.

O Hapoel Mevasseret Zion time de basquete joga também para a Liga Aposta. A equipe joga em local quadra de basquete, com capacidade para 300 lugares.

A polar rose is a mathematical curve that looks like a petaled flower, and that can be expressed as a simple polar equation, =  (+) for any constant ɣ 0 (including 0).
Now we turn our attention to deriving a formula for the area of a region bounded by a polar curve. Recall that the proof of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus used the concept of a Riemann sum to approximate the area under a curve by using rectangles. For polar curves we use the Riemann sum again, but the rectangles are replaced by sectors of a circle.

DESERT DISPATCH
Barstow group taking aim at youth drug abuse
SAFE Youth Coalition to hold Resource Fair from 5 to 7 p.m. March 20 at Barstow High gym
Luanne Hunt For the Desert Dispatch
BARSTOW — The opioid crisis is definitely a hot topic in America right now and, according to Vanessa Martinez, president of the SAFE Youth Coalition, even the smallest of communities have been greatly affected by substance-abuse problems.
In the case of Barstow, Martinez said illicit drug use is a growing concern among many parents whose teenagers are using and seem to be unaware they are on a path toward self-destruction.
In an effort to help mitigate the problem, and also bring further awareness to the issue, the SAFE Youth Coalition will host a Resource Fair from 5 to 7 p.m. March 20 in the new gymnasium at Barstow High School, 430 S. 1st Ave.
The event, which is sponsored by the Pomona-based Institute for Public Strategies, will include guest speakers, educational games, resource tables and raffle prizes.
"Our organization wants to educate people about the dangers of substance abuse," said Martinez. "We hope everyone in the community who is affected by this problem will come out to our Resource Fair and learn where they can go for help."
According to Martinez, Barstow's public parks have become a popular place for drug users to hang out. She said her coalition has combed the areas and found needles and other drug paraphernalia next to where children play.
"One of our next goals is to start working to clean up our parks," said Martinez. "At the moment, there are no drug-free or smoke-free parks in Barstow and we want to change that in order to make them safer for the children who play in them.
"Many of our young people who are using drugs think parks are the best place to go and not get caught, but hopefully, that will not be the case in the future."
Martinez said the SAFE Youth Coalition operates under the umbrella of the SAFE Coalition, which is on a mission to reduce the use of illicit drugs and alcohol in Barstow.
It also aims to bring local youth together with representatives from the sectors of education, health care, and law enforcement, and partners from the military community, nonprofits and others to foster community connectedness to prevent substance abuse issues.

Reading Writers Fest
Top 5 Reads – Non-Fiction from the 2017 Vancouver Writers Festival
Top 5 Poetry, Essays & Short Stories from the 2017 Vancouver Writers Fest
Top 5 Reads – Fiction from the 2017 Vancouver Writers Festival
Written by Alli Vail
Fiction. Who can explain its mysterious appeal, its lure? There was a time when fiction was considered to be a rather low form of writing. Talking points summarized here.
I've always been more partial to fiction than fact, insofar as reading is considered. Facts, please, in real life. The 2017 Vancouver Writers Festival was jam packed with fiction of all genres (under-represented would be science fiction and fantasy, although dystopian makes more than one appearance). Fiction with a distinctly Canadian slant, of course, has a heavy presence.
Among all the fiction titles, how to pick just five? I went with my gut and chose books books that I felt I connected to. Books I dwelled on. Books that managed to sit with me and leave an impression. Other criteria seems irrelevant and would be as arbitrary as one's gut—since I make the rules.
So if you only have time for five books because your summer's worth of beach going has to fit into a couple days, here's where I'd start, in no particular order:
Song of Batoche – Maia Caron
Lost In September – Kathleen Winters
Go, Went, Gone – Jenny Erpenbeck
How to Behave in a Crowd – Camille Bordas
Do Not Become Alarmed – Maile Meloy
In picking the novels, some patterns become apparent. I'll start with the obvious: all the writers are women. Moving on.
I also loved all the covers of these books (other favourite covers: Savage Theories, Dr. Edith Vane and the Hares of Crawley Hall and the The Heart's Invisible Furies). I know I know—don't judge a book by it's cover. But I do. I really do. And I'm loving heavy typographic treatment on covers.
Gone, Went, Gone, Lost in September, Song of Batoche and How to Behave in a Crowd are ultimately about otherness and focus on people who don't quite fit in their communities, or their families, or their countries, or their gender roles.
In Lost in September, we met a man who is out of sync with his time period. Set in present day Montreal, the main character believes he is James Wolfe—a British general who died in the 1750s. It has a dreamy, surreal quality, which it shares with How to Behave in a Crowd, which I likened to a Wes Anderson movie in a book format. Wolfe is out of his time, and maybe not quite in his own mind either.
In How to Behave in a Crowd, Dory is at odds with his older siblings, all of whom are geniuses. He is too—but he's not quite as smart as his siblings and he never feels connected to them. Their father dies unexpectedly and Dory watches his family go through the motions, observing them with a greater emotional intelligence then the rest of them have. He's smart—just not the same way they are.
Go, Went, Gone focuses on the plight of male immigrants from Africa in Germany. Their situation is both absurd and sad. The men can't work because they lack paperwork, and they can't get paperwork because they don't work. This is not the only twisted logic. Author Jenny Erpenbeck examines the insensitive and illogical bureaucracy over and over. And it's not just these lost men who are out of sync and lost in the world around them. The protagonist is a man who has just lost his wife and having to navigate life without her.
Song of Batoche's sense of otherness has a narrow focus: Josette Lavoie, a Metis woman, is at odds with the heroic Louis Riel during the 1885 North-West Resistance. She is skeptical of his motives and untrusting of his plans. She's at odds with her community and ostracised for not properly playing the role of "woman". The other woman are suspicious of her and shun her in a way only women can. She doesn't quite fit her time or gender role.
I picked Do Not Become Alarmed because it is unsympathetic and not everything works out in the end. Children go missing; the adults behave irresponsibly and lash out, and the children find a way to survive. No one comes off looking too great, which I think is a pretty accurate presentation of humanity in general. I chewed my nails throughout this thriller. It's a fast read (you can't put it down, in case something catastrophic happens). You could read this at the beach. Unless you're travelling in a South American country with your children. Don't read it in that case. You'll be terrified and spend the rest of your vacation in a state of extreme paranoia and jumping at shadows.
These are uncomfortable times. It makes sense that the books that I'm drawn to examine otherness and alienation in a community or that represent communities in turmoil.
Okay, okay. Bonus title:
First Snow, Last Light, by Wayne Johnston
This book is set in Newfoundland during a particularly interesting period of the province's history, which is part of the reason it stood out. And it offered a mystery: what happened to Ned Vatcher's parents, who disappeared into a stormy night, never to be seen again? I got sucked in by the quirky side characters, some of whom were likeable and some of whom were not. And Ned Vatcher himself is a mystery. It's his story, and he remains aloof and outside of it.

The Museum reopened its doors to the public and may be visited at San Martín 216, City of Buenos Aires, Mondays through Thursdays, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.


This past Friday night something truly beautiful and magnificent happened to me and two friends. But in order to truly understand the beauty and magnificence of this story, you'd have to know what happened that fateful Shabbat in Tel Aviv, tibane v'tikonen, as well as in the Quad that festive Friday night last year. So I'll start with the Tel Aviv story, which is what inspired much of what happened since then.
In between high school and college, I studied abroad in Israel for the year, in Yeshivat haKotel. They had a practice that every year on Parshat Zachor, the week before Purim, the Yeshiva as a whole would go to Tel Aviv for a Shabbaton. So, on one fine Friday afternoon, around 250 people trekked up to Tel Aviv, including the Israelis, kollel families, rebbeim, chutznikim and the head of the yeshiva and his famly. We all stayed at different locations (we 'yeshiva bochrim' stayed on the floor in some empty school), and on our way to our meeting point, we danced together through the streets of Tel Aviv. After meeting up and dancing in kikar Rabin, we split off into different groups and went to daven kabbalat Shabbat with and liven up various little batei kinesset in the area. Then we all had dinner together in some shul.
Following dinner, they split us into groups of four people, gave us a bottle or two of wine and sent us off. Three Israeli friends of mine and myself started walking down the streets. We wandered into different apartment buildings and knocked on some random doors. To be fair, only around two-thirds of the time did people answer, but when they did answer, almost all of them went well. None of them were 'dati' per se but they all were so pleased to be making kiddush with us and some even joined in. Oh right, that's what we were doing - making kiddush. But that's the beauty of it, we were just meeting people, over a delicious cup of Israeli wine and some words of sanctification. And when we would knock on the doors, we said simply that we were some guys coming by to say Shabbat Shalom, to spend some time and to share kiddush with them. And so it wasn't about getting them to do a mitzvah, or getting them to say a certain formula; while that was the means for the encounter, the point was that heart to heart encounter in and of itself.
And people loved it - they appreciated it, they would stand respectfully when we made kiddush and they were more than happy to engage in conversation with us. Some of them were single twenty-somethings, some were elderly ladies and one consisted of a large family gathering, but they were all Jewish and they were all overjoyed by this display of care. We were welcomed into one young couple's apartment where they were watching T.V. over dinner and so when we got to asking them if they wanted us to make kiddush for them, they asked whether they should turn off their T.V. In a beautiful flow of events, we said that it didn't really matter, and we said kiddush together over the hum of the T.V. - it was perhaps one of the most special kiddushim that I ever made. And that family gathering- oh man! It turns out one of the patriarch's son's and his wife had won some 'The Real Life'-esqu show, and the Israeli's I was with new that they were famous, and the family couldn't get over the fact that I was from NYC. We ended up talking to them for around half-an-hour, drinking a little (water) and we just chilled. Finally, after a few hours walking and talking around, when we finished the wine and/or the cups (we helped out a bit on our own ;-), we made out way back to some shul for the tail-end of a tisch.
In retrospect, that was perhaps one of the greatest Shabbatot of my life - getting to share the beauty, peace, and friendliness of Shabbat and Judaism with Jews in Tel Aviv who thought true Judaism was only for Chareidim who hated them. And here we were, dati yeshiva students, going out of our way to meet these simple, but yet so holy Jews, in a meeting of minds, faces, and hearts. And that's what was so powerful about it, the simple but yet deep encounter that occurred, brought about by the sanctity of Shabbat, and powerfully impacting on all parties involved. For them - they said it was amazing to see people like us doing this and they truly appreciated it, and for me - to see the way they responded to this presentation of Judaism and how much they respected, honored and loved the Shabbat and its messengers. It was from that Shabbat onwards, that I began to dream of living in Tel Aviv (anyone wanna join me?) and being able to share with people those feelings of achdut (brothergood), mutual respect, and a love for Judaism.

Description: The aim of this project is to synthesise a RAFT initiator on a glassy carbon surface. The purpose of the initiators is to use them in a photocatalytic polymerisation of polymer brushes in water. The project will start to focus on two potential methods. Method 1 uses a disulfide diazonium salt as a grafting agent. By reducing the disulfide will cleave the disulfide, leaving a monolayer of the grafting agent. The thiolate might then react with carbondisulfide to form trithiocarbonate, which can react with a benzylic position to form a RAFT agent. Method 2 is another approach to form a RAFT agent. Diethylcarbamodithioate (DEDTC) will be added on the benzylic position in 1-(chloromethyl)-4-nitrobenzene. This will then be grafted on a surface. See "Home" under "Wiki" for an illustrative overview of the project.


Long black grosgrain dress with laser cut front and printed fabric underneath, with shades of pink, and distorted images of the human body.
The Ottoman grosgrain was laser cut by K2 Associates Ltd, UK. The printed silk double georgette was printed by Print Unlimited in Horst, Netherlands. The invisible zip, wire support for neck, and sewing were all carried out by Marios Schwab studio, London.
The central theme for the Collection began with the novella by Charlotte Perkin Gilman, The Yellow Wallpaper. I showed the first series of work based on William Morris' designs for wallpaper in September 2005. In 2007 Marios Schwab approached me to collaborate on his AW08 collection. The premise for the collection was the language of revealing and concealing, shown as a series of dresses revealing increasingly more of my designs and the model's bodies through subtle changes of a similar form. The collaboration proved to be fruitful as both of us have a shared passion for craft and use technology mixed with traditional skills. For myself, it was the excitement of working in someone else's field and finding the point where we could both learn from each other as well as maintain our unique vision. The dresses I am presenting to the Craft Council are the culmination in that seminal body of work and exemplify a true view of the nature of our collaboration and both our abilities. Furthermore they show a point in my own path where the freedom of the 'third mind' allowed me to experiment and learn from a dramatic change in scale of marks, images and of course dimension. Conceptually it was a perfect moment and relationship to explore what was a very natural step in the course of my ideas. It led to three subsequent collections and to a language I will continue to explore and learn from in greater and greater depth with Marios. It has also driven me to pursue the third dimension and technologies used in design in order to reach a point where I shall be able to work on future collections whilst maintaining a freer approach to seasonal deadlines.

Regardless of the marketing channels you use to sell, your customers either are repeat customers or are new customers. Your repeat customers typically generate the majority of profit, but you need new customers for your business to grow. Achieving a balance between investing in new customer acquisition and profits is a delicate maneuver.
Focusing on repeat customers while not investing in new customer acquisition is a formula for going out of business. You can generate cash and earnings, but you will spiral downward in sales every year until you can no longer survive. We all know companies that focused on repeat buyers for so long that their customers aged out of the target market for their products. They only temporarily delayed the inevitable, but how can an e-tailer acquire customers and stay profitable in the process?
CLI works with many multi-channel merchants who list new customer acquisition among their greatest concerns. The traditional sources of acquisition simply do not respond as they once did. We see dramatic changes in the list industry, and even list consolidators and coops fell on hard times. But the resourceful are surviving.
No one offers a simple solution to keeping customer files fresh, but we can employan array of incremental initiatives that help achieve the goal. Here are some to help you start.
A great SEO program and wise investment in paid search is a good start, but don't expect to land every visitor who nibbles. Make sure the hooks are in place to catch email addresses for as many new visitors as possible. Providing an opportunity for email sign-up on every page is good, providing a pop-up for email sign-up is excellent, offering a purchase incentive on the pop-up is outstanding. But---make sure you don't annoy customers with the pop-up appearing too often.
Methods to collect email sign-ups are important, but turning new subscribers into buyers is more important!. An automated email program to turn new subscribers into buyers is a must.
An old adage holds that first time buyers are trial buyers. Once they buy the second time, they become customers. Don't settle for trial buyers. Develop an automated email program to turn first time buyers into multi-buyers without delay.
When you don't hear from customers for 24+ months, they are no longer customers, so treat them like first time buyers. And don't wait until they are about to drop off your list of people to whom you actively market! Start your retention programs early so fewer of your customers reach inactive status.
Don't give up too early on those inactive former customers. Did they return to your site but not purchase? They may return to your site occasionally, and we can help you track site visits and help with reactivations.
CLI can help you with these initiatives and many more. Solving problems that are critical to multi-channel marketers sits at the heart of CLI. We commit to helping you flourish in the face of great challenges and not just survive. Contact us to learn more.

New Long-Term Care Medicare Benefit Proposed
By Amy Baxter | May 2, 2018
A newly proposed Medicare benefit would extend services to eligible beneficiaries for long-term care. The proposal was within a discussion draft of a bill by Representative Frank Pallone (D-NJ), released at a Wednesday roundtable discussion with aging and disability advocates.
The proposal, The Medicare Long-Term Care Services and Supports Act of 2018, would establish a cash benefit within Medicare for beneficiaries that could be used toward all long-term services and supports, including nursing facility care, adult day care programs, home health aide services, personal care services, transportation and assistance provided by a family caregiver.
"The growing need for long-term care is one of the greatest threats to retirement security for American seniors, and the adult children who care for them," Pallone said in a statement. "It's time to expand Medicare to include a long-term care benefit so that millions of seniors and individuals with disabilities no longer have to face financial ruin before they get assistance. I'm hoping that this proposal will begin an important discussion, and look forward to getting feedback from interested stakeholders."
The proposal, if introduced and enacted, would be the first new Medicare benefit since Part D, which was approved in 2003 and implemented in 2006.
The discussion draft of the bill aims to help families pay for long-term care, which can cost a senior an average of $140,000 out of pocket. More than 15% of seniors will incur costs in excess of $250,000, according to Pallone. Furthermore, more than 70% of seniors older than 65 will need some long-term care services and supports in their lifetime.
The reach would extend beyond the narrow limits of many Medicare services, including those of home health care, and it would incentivize people to seek care at home, "the setting where most people want to be," according to Pallone.
Some senior care groups have already voiced their support for the proposal.
"We firmly believe that the nation's current methods for financing LTSS are unsustainable, irrational, and unfair for individuals and families," Katie Smith Sloan, president and CEO of LeadingAge, said in a statement. "It is estimated that about half of all older adults will lose the ability to care for themselves during their lifetimes, and will need help with everyday activities. We commend Representative Pallone for proposing a new Medicare long-term care benefit that addresses this critical issue."

What dreams do you have for your children? Is it a scientist, famous author, or lawyer? They can be any of those things with a good education. Homeschooling may be the perfect option and you can find some helpful tips here.
Check your state law prior to scheduling a homeschooling curriculum. For example, many dictate how many hours a child must be in class. Some states will provide you with a curriculum to follow, while others let you create your own. It's best to use the local curriculum if possible.
Public school may be full of bad influences; however, with homeschooling, you can get to know potential friends for your child and provide appropriate social opportunities. Take time out and go on play dates with the people in your neighborhood. Go to a park and let your kids play with other children. Let them become part of a club or sports team.
Learn your state's homeschooling laws. The laws and policies about homeschooling differ from one state to another and even district to district, so you definitely need to research the laws in your area. While certain states are lenient, others make parents go through standardized testing. There are even some parts of the United States where a parent must register their home as a school.
Have you thought about the added burden of your finances if you choose to homeschool your children? If you have a job that you will need to quit, it can be difficult to adjust. Homeschooling means you will have less time for yourself and for accomplishing the household chores.
If you are teaching both younger and older children, make sure that you have one on one time with them. Set up a place for your kids to have arts and crafts matericals as well as educations toys. Older children will benefit from helping to teach preschoolers. This will help them both to learn, and the older kids will appreciate your confidence in their ability to teach.
Homeschooling teachers should be creative. You can either spend money on certain resources or make your own for much cheaper. Create your own flash cards using index cards that you laminate. If you involve your kids in the process of making them, you not only create an education tool, but you provide a fun activity as well.
Homeschooling offers children many unique advantages not available at overcrowded and underfunded public schools. If not already required, have your child take standardized tests to make sure they are progressing as needed. If they test below average on a subject, they may need a tutor.
It is important that your child learns in an environment that is free from distractions. This area should not be near an area where you child plays. Try your best to keep school supplies separate from your child's own personal play supplies.
Kids who are successful adults began with a great education. You can use what you have learned here and take it to your children in the form of a lesson.

WhatsApp in the fight against a pandemic: COVID-19, help from the messenger
Since last December, the world has been struggling with a terrible disease. COVID-19, also known as coronavirus, absorbs thousands of people daily.
To fight the disease, to help those in need, the authorities and ordinary people create mobile groups, auxiliary funds, express chats. One of the network intermediaries is the WhatsApp messenger.
1 Always in touch
2 Important Tips
Always in touch
Authorities introduce quarantine measures to avoid the spread of the disease.
Tough measures have already been introduced in the states of Europe, the Baltic states, Asia, and also in the USA.
In order to entertain users and allow them to always stay in touch, instant messengers expand their functionality. Whatsapp is no exception.
The application previously allowed you to chat for free. The functionality of the utility is huge:
Correspondence in groups, communities;
sending photos, videos, audio, documents;
reproduction of voice, visual calls.
Now to this is added the possibility of help, information education.
Other corporations are developing similar actions. So, Telegram, Viber create thematic channels of information. Free support is offered on their platforms. TikTok leads bloggers to collect money for treatment and the purchase of medicines. The developers of heating boilers advise increasing the temperature in the house to + 27ͦ, at which the virus molecule dies. Equipment can be delivered by trucks, semi-trailers. Cargo transportation is carried out with all traffic regulations.
"Hard times require special actions. Now it is important to inform the population, create mobile help groups. To do this, free state portals, volunteer communities, medical chats are launched on the basis of the application ".
To find a specific correspondence:
Open whatsapp.
In the search bar, type the name of the structure or keyword. E.g. Ministry of Health Coronavirus COVID-19.
Tap the first option.
Activate the Join command.
Official channels create:
Medical workers. Ministers, doctors.
Representatives of the education sector. Online lessons for students.
Nonprofit Organizations.
Representatives of medium and small businesses. Network distribution of goods.
Local government.
Companies whose employees work remotely.
WhatsApp also has motivational groups. Positive stories set the mood for people, distract from gray everyday life, treat depression.
Important Tips
The leadership of the messenger asks people to be attentive to health, life. Especially if among relatives, relatives there are people at risk – pensioners, patients with chronic diseases.
For physical protection:
Use antiseptics, masks.
Avoid crowds.
If possible, refuse to use public transport.
Do not leave the country.
For the smallest change in well-being, contact your family doctor.
Avoid contact with people who have returned from abroad.
If you come to Russia from countries where the virus is active, self-isolate for two weeks.
However, moral, informational protection is also important:
Even from home, do not stop communicating with relatives and friends. An hour of conversation improves mood, helps to avoid depression. Laughter prolongs life at all.
Check sources of information. With the advent of the threat, the Internet is used as a means of warning. Do not trust suspicious sites. Read official information, reports of press services, all-Russian portals with a proven reputation.
Do not spread fakes. False information leads to panic, which only worsens the situation. If you are not sure about the source, refuse reposts. Do not subscribe to dubious channels.
WhatsApp monitors viral groups and communities during a pandemic. When users receive complaints, programmers will block fake correspondence.
Everyone can become a member of the group. The exception is corporate chats. It is also allowed to independently organize communication, a support group, assistance. All that is required is a smartphone, tablet, computer, Internet access, downloaded WhatsApp.

Characterization and developmental regulation of proteoglycan-type protein tyrosine phosphatase zeta/RPTPbeta isoforms.
Protein tyrosine phosphatase zeta (PTPzeta/RPTPbeta) is a receptor-like protein tyrosine phosphatase specifically expressed in the brain. Alternative splicing produces three isoforms of this molecule: PTPzeta-A, the full-length form of PTPzeta; PTPzeta-B, the short form of PTPzeta; and PTPzeta-S, an extracellular variant. Here, we identified all these isoforms, including PTPzeta-B, as chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans, and characterized their carbohydrate modification and expression profiles in the rat brain. The level of PTPzeta-A expression was maintained during the prenatal period and decreased rapidly after birth. PTPzeta-S was expressed in a similar manner, although the postnatal decrease was gradual. In contrast, relatively constant amounts of PTPzeta-B were observed from embryonic day 13 ( E13) through adulthood. PTPzeta-A and -S were constantly expressed only as proteoglycans during development, but a substantial amount of PTPzeta-B was detected in a non-proteoglycan form at E13-15. Moreover, PTPzeta-B did not contain LeX, HNK-1 carbohydrate, or keratan sulfate, although PTPzeta-A and -S were generally modified with these carbohydrates. L cells transfected with PTPzeta-A and -B cDNAs expressed these proteins as enzymatically active chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans. The PTPzeta-A and -B in L cells showed essentially similar localizations in cell cortical structures on immunofluorescence microscopy, although immature or processed forms of PTPzeta-A were accumulated additively in intracellular patchy structures. These results show that the three isoforms of PTPzeta are differentially regulated during development, and that the extracellular deleted region in PTPzeta-B is important for determination of carbohydrate modification.[1]

Methadone withdrawal will be required sooner or later, after methadone maintenance or a pain monitoring program making use of methadone has actually started. If your feeling shackled by having to go to a Wallace NE facility or a drug store daily and experiencing heck if you intend to take a trip, there is an escape.
Methadone use generates a numb sensation to living, significant tummy troubles and physical dependence that beats all others; that's the list. All sort of other illness that methadone use generated are exposed once beginning methadone withdrawal. I'll provide you some answers to aid now, and further solutions to deal with the issue to ending methadone dependence forever.
Dependencies physicians as well as discomfort management clinics in Nebraska are persistently prescribing methadone for opiate abuse and persistent discomfort, yet what are the repercussions of methadone use? I have actually noted several below. If you've already tried Methadone withdrawal and had problems, I've got some aid you would not have actually found in other places.
Once it is time to begin methadone withdrawal, many individuals are having BIG troubles finishing their methadone use. Exactly how does one withdraw from methadone in Wallace Nebraska? What difficulties will they need to conquer?
The truth is that several addictions doctors and also discomfort monitoring specialists in Wallace are acting on the suggestions from their peers and advisors. They are not told of the fatalities because of prescribed methadone usage nor the problems that in some cases occur when taking out from methadone use.
Vital: thoroughly research study drugs or drugs on your own before you purchase or take them. The impacts can be terrible. They likewise might have hazardous interactive impacts when taken with other medicines.
Numerous otherwise every one of methadone impacts are brought on by dietary shortages. Methadone usage produces nutritional exhaustion – especially calcium and also magnesium deficiency. Another is B vitamin deficiency. This is how these shortages appear.
Methadone withdrawal will certainly require a lot of added dietary supplements. That implies it's time to feed the body. Calcium as well as magnesium will certainly aid with the constraining and so on. Yet there will be some trouble lots of will certainly have taking their nutrients – a negative intestine.
Methadone and also stress and anxiety medications have the tendency to destroy the intestine cellular lining. A leaky intestine provides discomforts when eating or allergic reactions, prone to health issues and skin troubles. An additional signs and symptom of a dripping gut is impatience and a 'attitude problem'. The perspective can have physical causes unspoken by the person.
A good suggestion to helping the intestine issue is eating lots of high quality yogurt with live probiotics in it, like acidophilus and also bifidus. One could likewise supplement with large quantities of glutathione – an antioxidant to aid the cleansing procedure.
The problem with methadone is that it is hazardous to the body. Your body recognizes it, yet you could not. Taking methadone obstacles your organs to detox the body and shield the vital organs prior to they are severely damaged.
Toxins provide the body a difficult time. If you have actually seen drug users with dark circles under their eyes, grey skin, bad skin, hair falling out, low power, unusual conditions, and so on they're got nutritional deficiencies. Those shortages are difficult to recover from with food alone. Often that food isn't really being effectively absorbed = poor digestive tract.
Cleansing the body is greater than simply stopping drug use. Drug abuse develops interior body damage you could not immediately recognize. However, the body will certainly aim to purify right after substance abuse and also heal itself making use of any nutrients available. If the nutrients aren't offered, the body will certainly obtain (swipe) them from the bones, nerve system or other vital functions.
The bright side is that I have actually located the tools and also the detoxification centers in NE that could defeat methadone withdrawal smoothly and quickly.
Wallace came into pitch in the bottom of the inning and retired the first three batters to get a quick three outs. In the bottom of the fifth, Nebraska got in a jam, but was able to work out of it.
As of the census of 2010, there were 366 people, 140 households, and 104 families residing in the village. The population density was 515.5 inhabitants per square mile (199.0/km2). There were 152 housing units at an average density of 214.1 per square mile (82.7/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 85.5% White, 1.1% Native American, 0.8% Asian, 10.4% from other races, and 2.2% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 17.2% of the population.
There were 140 households of which 40.7% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 61.4% were married couples living together, 7.1% had a female householder with no husband present, 5.7% had a male householder with no wife present, and 25.7% were non-families. 22.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 10% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.

Daniel Cormier's coach: Jon Jones is MMA's Lance Armstrong if proven guilty of cheating
August 24, 2017 6:45 pm ET
Daniel Cormier's longtime coach is waiting for the final outcome of Jon Jones' second positive steroid test, but if the UFC light heavyweight champion isn't able to clear himself, Javier Mendez believes the verdict should be clear.
"He's going to be known as the greatest who coulda-woulda-shoulda and never has been," Mendez, the American Kickboxing Academy coach, told MMAjunkie Radio. "It's just the same like Lance Armstrong. He's the greatest cyclist of all time, but then they proved he cheated, and where's Lance Armstrong now? What's he known as? That's what's going to happen here."
Twitter Mailbag: Jon Jones' legacy, Daniel Cormier's new/old title and Conor McGregor's UFC leverage
Mendez said he was in disbelief when he heard Jones (23-1 MMA, 17-1 UFC) had tested positive for turabinol – a vintage steroid no longer in production – in a test administered after the weigh-ins for his UFC 214 rematch with Cormier (19-2 MMA, 8-2 UFC) on July 29 in Anaheim, Calif.
"I was feeling really good about the way he was acting around the fight, so I was thinking, 'Hey, this guy's changed,'" Mendez said. "I was saying, maybe this has all been good for him. But I don't know. Is he really being real, or is he just acting that way?"
Mendez, like Cormier, is fighting the urge to draw conclusions. Cormier said he didn't know what to think of the positive test and would wait to see whether the initial findings are confirmed.
Alexander Gustafsson 'sad,' but 'not surprised' by Jon Jones' latest positive test
"If you want to fast forward, and it's proven as fact, then I'd be really upset, because you robbed yourself, you robbed the public, and you robbed 'D.C.' of the opportunity to find a clean fighter to see who really is the pound-for-pound greatest light heavyweight of all time," Mendez said of Jones.
Until the full results management process plays out, Mendez said, any conclusions about Jones are "all talk." He said if he were in Jones' corner, he'd try to help in any way possible.
Asked what he'd say to Jones directly, however, the coach paused.
"I don't think I'd say anything to him," Mendez said. "He is who he is. I'd just accept him and move forward. You'd like to think he's changed, but all fingers are pointing that he hasn't changed."
From 'Rumble' Johnson to 'Big' John: Everyone has a take on Jon Jones' failed drug test
Up until now, Jones has been able to overcome all of his setbacks outside of the octagon. He reached plea agreements after multiple run-ins with the law and once evaded jail time. He escaped a suspension when it turned out an out-of-competition test was unwarranted. And he succeeded in getting a shorter timeout when he convinced arbitrators his first positive test for a banned substance was an accident.
Mendez said if Jones can't prove his latest drug failure is the same situation, the Armstrong comparison is apt. Like the disgraced cyclist, he said Jones' entire career would be suspect.
"How is it not possible for people to think, 'Has he ever been clean? Are all of his UFC fights?' You have to question that," Mendez said. "I definitely would question that. But he still has due process, so still has an opportunity to clear himself, and if he does, then all of this is just talk."

Traffic exam - traffexam
========================

This is a wrapper above iperf that add REST API to this tool.

System requirements
===================

On target system you need iperf3 (>=3.2).

Setup instructions (ubuntu 16.04)
=================================

Assemble python wheel
 .. code :: bash

    cd services/traffexam
    make wheel

Created wheel will be placed into dist folder. It will be
named :code:`kilda_traffexam-$version-py3-none-any.whl`.

Setup requirements
 .. code :: bash

    sudo apt install \
        iperf3 \
        python3-virtualenv \
        python3-click \
        python3-bottle

Create and activate python virtual environment
 .. code :: bash

    mkdir -p /opt/kilda
    python3 -m virtualenv --python=python3 --system-site-packages /opt/kilda/py-venv
    source /opt/kilda/py-env/bin/activate

setup left requirements inside virtualenv and assembled before wheel
 .. code :: bash

    pip install 'pyroute2>=0.4.21'
    pip install dist/kilda_traffexam-0.1.dev12-py3-none-any.whl

Now traffexam can be started. It require 2 CLI argument - first target interface (this
interface will be used to send/receive traffic by iperf). Second argument - address:port
pair that will be used to listen REST requests.

Example
 .. code :: bash

    kilda-traffexam eth0 172.16.1.1:4040
