It's been an amazing summer of celebrations for us including: Wedding anniversaries, big birthdays (from 21st's to 90th's), bridal parties, and even proposals on our catamaran.
Another excellent day sailing. Today we landed at Inchcolm island and visited it's 12th century abbey before tying up in Aberdour harbour for lunch.
Great weather and company for our first sail of the season.

Q: jQuery offsetparent returns non-positioned parent also I am trying out the following code:
<!DOCTYPE html>

If you click on me, I will disappear.

Click me away!

Click me too!

From the jQuery documentation, offsetParent() is supposed to return the closest positioned parent, positioned meaning one with position defined explicitly as 'static,absoluteorrelative`. here, none is declared for any element, yet the alert pops up 1. How come?

A: First, let as look at the return result:
[html, prevObject: jQuery.fn.jQuery.init[1], context: span, jquery: "1.9.0", constructor: function, init: function…]

So for $(span).offsetParent() you get the HTML element.
Now let's look at the implementation of offsetParent:
offsetParent: function() {
    return this.map(function() {
        var offsetParent = this.offsetParent || document.documentElement;
        while ( offsetParent && ( !jQuery.nodeName( offsetParent, "html" ) && jQuery.css( offsetParent, "position") === "static" ) ) {
            offsetParent = offsetParent.offsetParent;
        }
        return offsetParent || document.documentElement;
    });
}

From the code above we see that if we don't have positioned parent offsetParent returns the HTML element.
The only bad things is that when I looked at the documentation that wasn't there.
To check whether there's actually an offsetParent you can use:
document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0] === $(elem).offsetParent()[0]

The Buzzer: Reimer's redemption, Ovechkin the assist machine
By James O'BrienDec 31, 2017, 1:20 AM EST
Player of the Night: James Reimer, Florida Panthers
What if a goalie who's often an analytics darling saves the season for a sometimes-seemingly-anti-analytics team in the Florida Panthers? If nothing else, Reimer is a catalyst for Florida's hot streak, as the goalie and team are both on five-game winning streaks after a 2-0 win against the fledgling Montreal Canadiens.
In Saturday's case, Reimer stopped all 38 shots on goal for his 19th career shutout.
The Panthers have asked quite a bit of Reimer, too, so he deserves a significant chunk of the credit.
Other worthy mentions for player of the night include Alex Ovechkin (three assists), John Carlson (goal, two assists), and Tyler Toffoli (also a goal and two assists).
Best highlights:
Great passing by the Capitals, including Ovechkin:

Factoids:
Circling back to Ovechkin, his three-assist night generated factoids both obscure and broad. This is a cool one for context, especially when you consider the fact that Ovechkin is such a prolific scorer during a time when it's tough to put pucks in the net (especially for most other players):

There are many reasons why a health care facility would want to measure or monitor the amount of radiation produced by its diagnostic imaging equipment. The Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations[1] requires hospitals to provide risk assessment and performance monitoring data on all medical equipment. For machines that generate ionizing radiation, this means hospitals must have some way of measuring output. In addition, some states[2,3] require health care providers to demonstrate that radiation exposure in typical radiological examinations is below certain maximum limits for body parts of specified thicknesses. In other instances, radiation exposure needs to be determined for medical or legal purposes.
One of several possible methods to measure output from a device that produces ionizing radiation is with a dose-area product (DAP) meter, a large-area ionization chamber attached to the collimator assembly of the radiographic machine. (See Fig. 1.) In a previous article,[4] we compared the DAP meter to thermoluminescent dosimeters in chest radiography and concluded that the DAP meter could be a convenient and accurate method of measuring the entrance skin exposure (ESE) with a known x-ray field size.
[Figure 1 ILLUSTRATION OMITTED]
This article presents further analysis of results on the posteroanterior (PA) chest exams reported in the previous study[4] and investigates whether ESE is related to the thickness of the patient's chest.
Method and Materials
A dose-area product meter (Gammex RMI model 840A, Middleton, Wis.) was attached to the collimator assembly of an x-ray unit used for chest radiography. The product of the dose and the cross-section of the x-ray beam were displayed in units of mGy/[cm.sup.2]. With an appropriate calibration factor (K) and a known x-ray field size at the skin surface ([A.sub.S]), the entrance skin exposure (free in air) could be computed as follows:
exposure ([micro] C/kg) = K DAP/[A.sub.S]
x 258 [micro] C/kg per Roentgen/8.7 mGy per Roentgen
Exposures resulting from PA chest x-ray examinations on 47 adult male patients were studied. The source-to-image distance was 305 cm, and the technique factors for the examinations were 110 kVp and 300 mA with automatic exposure control. The thickness (t) of each thorax was recorded. The length ([X.sub.L]) and width ([Y.sub.L]) of the adjusted light field were measured at the DAP meter. The amounts of misalignment of the light field with respect to the x-ray field were determined ([X.sub.C] and [Y.sub.C]). The corrected area of the x-ray field at the DAP meter became:
[A.sub.d] = ([X.sub.L] + [X.sub.C]) ([Y.sub.L] + [Y.sub.C])
With a known source-to-dose area product meter distance (d), the x-ray field size at the skin entrance could be computed as:
[A.sub.S] = [[SID-t/d].sup.2] [A.sub.d]
The DAP meter was calibrated with a reference ion chamber at 72 cm from the focal spot. This position was far enough away from any surface to avoid significant contribution by scatter radiation. In addition, with the high kilovoltage used in these examinations, the amount of attenuation of radiation by the air between this calibration distance and the skin surface was found to be too small to be measured by the reference ion chamber. The calibration factor (K) was found to be 1.04 for the DAP meter under these circumstances.
If a diaphragm with an aperture or a positive beam-limiting device were used to automatically collimate the x-ray field to a constant area, different DAP values would have been obtained. The area would be the size of the film plus the tolerance permitted by state or federal regulations. However, the resulting entrance skin exposure should be the same from either technique.
To compare DAP values obtained in this study to a hypothetical situation where a constant x-ray field size is used, we multiplied a field size equal to the area of the film plus an extra 3 cm on each border by the entrance skin exposures obtained with the manual technique.
We reported in a previous article[4] that the entrance skin exposure in PA chest examinations ranges from 4 [micro] C/kg (16 mR) to 39 [micro] C/kg (150 mR).
An x-ray beam has a broad spectrum of energies and the human chest has very heterogeneous tissue composition. However, in the absence of any pathology or anatomical variation, we expected the entrance skin exposure to increase with the thickness of the thorax when exposure factors were increased to compensate.
The search for a simple mathematical formula to correlate exposure with body part thickness would begin with a model of monoenergetic radiation, homogeneous tissue and a direct proportionality of the chest thickness to tissue thickness. In this model, when automatic exposure control maintains a constant exit dose, the entrance skin exposure would increase exponentially with the thickness of the chest. A plot of the natural logarithm of the measured entrance skin exposure vs the thickness of the thorax shows a general trend of a straight line, an appearance of an exponential function in a semilogarithmic presentation. (See Fig. 2.)
Collected data showed the measured thickness of the patients' chests in this study had a mean of 28 cm (3 cm, SD). As Fig. 2 shows, the correlation between entrance skin exposure and chest thickness was weak. For example, at a chest thickness of 28 cm, entrance skin exposures ranged from 7 [micro] C/kg to 16 [micro] C/kg (26 mR to 62 mR).
The distribution of measured dose-area product is presented in Fig. 3A and can be compared to a distribution that would have been obtained with a constant field size or autocollimation, as shown in Fig. 3B. The latter has a narrower distribution, with most cases at the low end. An examination of the measured field sizes showed that the upper end of the distribution in Fig. 3A had field sizes much larger than the films.
A test with an anthropomorphic phantom (Humanoid Systems, Carson, Calif.) gave a skin entrance dose of 5 [micro] C/kg (21 mR), which is at the low end of our patient exposure distribution of 4 [micro] C/kg (16 mR) to 39 [micro] C/kg (150 mR). A publication by the American Association of Physicists in Medicine[5] describes the use of an anthropomorphic phantom from the Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) and one from the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The CDRH phantom[6] is more realistic and has been demonstrated to be equivalent to a 23 cm-thick chest. The ANSI phantom[7,8] is easier to construct and easier to use, and has been demonstrated to incur 33% more estimated entrance skin exposure.[5] Because most of the patients in our study were thicker than 23 cm, these phantoms do not represent the mean or median of our patient population, nor can they emulate typical patients in all clinics. These test objects are more suitable for comparison of x-ray imaging systems.
When automatic exposure control is used, the resulting patient exposure during a radiographic examination of the chest cannot be predicted with a high degree of accuracy. When it is necessary to accurately measure radiation exposure to a patient, it is preferable to determine the dosimetry for each patient individually. If the control panel displays the resulting technique used (kVp and mAs), calibration results provided by a qualified expert can be used to compute the radiation exposure. If the x-ray machine does not offer this option, a DAP meter can be installed for this purpose.
A comparison of DAP distributions obtained from manual collimation and autocollimation, shown in Figs. 3A and 3B, suggests the following possibility: In the manual collimation technique, an upper limit on the dose-area product can perhaps be used as a quality control criterion to review instances of excessive field sizes.
A risk indicator of radiation is the weighted sum of doses to various parts of the body[9] This effective patient dose increases with entrance skin exposure and the area of the body irradiated.
Our data show that the effective dose and, therefore, the radiation risk, can be reduced by limiting, the radiographic field size.

If you are a college student who wants to save a lot of cash, then one way to do so is to look for cheap college textbooks. There are a lot of places that you can buy cheap college textbooks. The majority of these places are found on the Internet, which has opened the doors to literally thousands of websites that offer college books for sale at cheap prices.
All you have to do in order to find these websites that sell cheap college textbooks is to go to your favorite search engine and type in those words. Or you can type in the ISBN number of the college books you need in order to be sure of getting the exact edition of book that your class requires.
Does the seller have good ratings?
How much will shipping bring the cost up?
Even though you are trying to save money, you should seriously consider the condition of any cheap college textbooks before you agree to buy them. It does you no good if the books are missing pages or if the cover is torn to shreds, etc. Make sure you see pictures and a good description before buying any used book.
You also need to make sure that the seller has good ratings. If not, you may be getting a bad deal and be cheated. Be sure to read the ranking of any seller before you buy cheap college textbooks from them. Also check on their return policy or any refund policy.
Another thing to double check is the shipping price. If the books are cheap but the shipping price is high, then you won't be getting a very good deal. Be sure to calculate both the price and the shipping cost so you know exactly what you are doing.
Getting cheap college textbooks is the goal of many college students, and finding a source online is not a hard thing to do at all. You can find them on used book sites, auction sites like eBay or half.com, as well as through the college bookstore or college bulletin boards. Good luck in your search for cheap college textbooks.
Good posting ,Nice Post , Keep more updates, thanks for sharing.

Movie commentary website ScreenRant.com recently posted their 12 Worst Horror Movies of 2015 list. They totally stole my idea, along with every other horror movie blog in existence. I feel mildly violated.
But rather than let it ruin my refreshing alcoholic beverage, here's ScreentRant.com's smack down along with my think tank thinkings on the subject(s). [Note: ScreenRant.com's article, written by Scout Tafoya, is really quite good, accurate and well-researched – just the opposite of anything you'll get outta me until I start getting paid to do this.]
From last to first…
12. MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT
What it is: The sequel to Monsters (2010) wherein the title beasts have infected the Middle East where there's already a war going on. Nice timing, stupid space creatures.
What SR said: "The monsters (admittedly still beautiful in design) are glimpsed from the sideline of the action and never meaningfully interact with the interchangeable leads."
What I think doesn't matter: Monsters: Dark Continent is two movies – military guys dealing with the horror of war, and military guys dealing with the horror of giant ick monsters. M:DC needed to pick a lane and drive in it as the two conflicts conflict with each other. Kinda like drinking a Budweiser™ and a Miller Genuine Draft™ at the same time. In theory it works, but it just doesn't once the tops get popped. Still, the monsters are outrageously cool, especially that Mt. Everest sized one at the end.
11. KNOCK KNOCK
What it is: Two hot "stranded" chicks show up at a married guy's house, get naked and entice him to stain his marriage vows. Then they try to permanently divorce him before his wife gets home.
What SR said: "As repugnant as it is arrogant, Knock Knock is a lose lose."
What I think doesn't matter: Did not see this one. Read some reviews, though. Not sure it qualifies as a horror movie in the traditional sense. Maybe if everyone wore a hockey mask…
10. THE GREEN INFERNO
What it is: Severely annoying student activists travel from New York City to the Amazon to save the Rain Forest. When their plane crashes in said foreign foliage, cannibals show up to invite them to/as dinner.
What SR said: "Cheaply made, obnoxiously written and not even half as extreme as it thinks it is, Green Inferno is an insult to the cannibal films of the '70s it pays tribute to."
What I think doesn't matter: What they said. Embarrassing and irritating, GI, while filled with insides being turned outside, it's really hard to get past what ScreenRant accurately calls "colossally stupid stereotypes." Ironically, my complaint is with the cannibals – it took them one hour and forty-one minutes to finish their meal.
9. INTO THE GRIZZLY MAZE
What it is: A freakishly intelligent (and bottomless hungry) grizzly bear turns actors into bit parts.
What SR said: "The bear of the title is a mess of bad CGI effects and behaves conspicuously more like Jason Voorhees rather than a wild animal."
What I think doesn't matter: Yep. Though I will point out that the bear doesn't just attack humans – it stalks and then rips them apart like jungle taffy. That's what bears in horror movies are supposed to do.
8. BACKCOUNTRY
What it is: Vacationing campers are attacked and made into shredded meat by a bear of all things.
What SR said: "A couple of bland people for a weekend retreat to a wilderness trail that's been closed for the season. That doesn't stop them or a killer black bear from roaming around anyway. The kids get lost and it takes the bear entirely too long to show up and start chewing on hamstrings."
What I think doesn't matter: Mostly just fast-forwarding to the hamstring chewing action. Everything else was a waste of valuable drinking time.
7. SHARK LAKE
What it is: A black-market exotic species dealer unleashes a shark in Lake Tahoe where it chews out the swimmers.
What SR said: "No professional actors, terrible special effects, a sixteenth of the budget and lots of hilariously awful dialogue. Shark Lake will make you laugh an awful lot."
What I think doesn't matter: Every since Sharknado (2013), the ocean's most feared apex predator has been rendered to a bad comedy punchline. And Shark Lake shamelessly gets in the feeding frenzy and continues the mockery. Note to Shark Lake filmmakers: Why don't you dangle an errant limb in the ocean? Then we'll see who's laughing.
6. POLTERGEIST
What it is: An inferior remake of 1982's superior Poltergeist
What SR said: "No one needed another Poltergeist; The monsters have a sort of evocative menace to them in their ten seconds of screen time, but when they're represented by 3D screw bits and vomit fantasies, they're a touch less formidable."
What I think doesn't matter: Just the thought of redoing Poltergeist is far more horrifying than the movie turned out to be. Hollywood must need the cash. P.S. "Vomit fantasies" – heh.
5. BURYING THE EX
What it is: A guy's dead nagging girlfriend comes back from the grave and wants to continue their relationship. A guy's worst day and nightmare.
What SR said: "Crazy sexist and smug, Burying The Ex is unquestionably [director] Joe Dante's worst film."
What I think doesn't matter: ScreenRant may have missed the point – Burying The Ex is a comedy and supposed to be crazy sexist and smug. And hey, funny naked and horny fat guy to help keep things swingin'.
4. THE LAZARUS EFFECT
What it is: Medical researchers discover a way to bring animals/people back from the dead. For commercial applications, of course.
What SR said: "There isn't a scare in the whole film and it loses steam right around the time it starts offing cast members, the film's equivalent of shrugging its shoulders when it runs out of ideas."
What I think doesn't matter: Horror snobs not unlike myself recognize Lazarus as pilfering Flatliners (1990) and Pet Sematary (1989). In other words, nothing new here. That said, when was anyone ever brought back from being dead and not all f'd up in the brain hole?
3. MAGGIE
What it is: A Midwest small town girl is infected with a virus that's slowly turning her (and select others) into a zombie. Living in a Midwest small town does the same thing.
What SR said: "The filmmakers never quite figured out when this experience starts benefiting anyone crazy enough to watch a low-budget Arnold Schwarzenegger film. Take away his explosions and he's lost without a map."
What I think doesn't matter: Casting Arnold Schwarzenegger with his famous Austrian accent as a Midwest farmer was a big pitchfork in the rump. Arnie doesn't say much in this one, but when he does he stands out like a sore cow. His job, though, is to keep the authorities from moving his slowly rotting zombie teen daughter to a containment camp where they never come back because they just can't. Maggie moves really s-l-o-w and there's no brain eating. But I did like the last two minutes where she finally goes through zombie puberty and…
2. HARBINGER DOWN
What it is: Mutated monsters get defrosted from Russian space junk at the bottom of the Bering Sea – and their first food order is grad students on a fishing trawler. Zazdarovje!
What SR said: "Harbinger Down could have used a few rewrites, a better cast, and a sense of purpose beyond its creepy crawly."
What I think doesn't matter: I'm a total sucker for giant monster movies. And it's always a gratifying experience to see nauseating grad students being eaten by said giant monsters. You know what I say? Go giant monsters!
1. THE PACK
What it is: Man's best friend turns Man's best leg into a chew toy.
What SR said: "These dogs are just too cuddly and never look like they want anything more than belly rubs and behind-the-ear scratches."
What I think doesn't matter: Didn't see The Pack. But I did see it in 1983 when it was called Cujo.
Human Dog Food
Posted in Classic Horror, Evil, Nature Gone Wild, Science Fiction with tags cats, Classic Horror, dogs, Evil, ghouls, Long Dark Night, monster, mutant, Nature Gone Wild, parakeet, Science Fiction, Seal Island, The Pack on November 6, 2015 by Drinkin' & Drive-in
A dog is a man's best friend – until dog eats man. After that, any relationship arrangement is clearly off the table. And that goes for all domesticated animals. (I'm looking in your direction, you serial killing and probably poisonous parakeets.)
So turning the tables and having dogs go after the all-you-can-eat chew toy that is your couch warmer makes for good movie watching, right? Not always. I'll get back to that. For now, just heel and be introduced to the latest dog-unfriends-humans horror movie, The Pack, hot on the scent of the just released Night of the Wild (2015), YET ANOTHER doggone poochy predator movie.
The Pack (releasing Spring, 2016): "A farmer and his family must fight for their lives after a ferocious pack of feral wild dogs lays siege to their isolated farm. Through a series of frightening and bloody encounters, they are forced into survival mode to defend themselves from the ravenous beasts and make it through the night."
Like daylight will make the dogs any less bite-y. Be my guest and try to pet your way out.
In case it slipped your leash, there was a prior dogs-gone-wild horror movie with the same name. The Pack (aka, The Long Dark Night) was released in 1977, and the plot was as juicy as a mailman's leg: "The residents of vacation spot Seal Island find themselves terrorized by a pack of dogs — the remnants of discarded pets by visiting vacationers." The 'ol "flush the alligator down the toilet" trick when they become too much of a bother.
But even before that was a similar gone-to-the-dogs horror movie called simply, Dogs. Released in 1976, a pack of dogs go on a killing spree. Seems plausible enough. In Dogs a "biology professor tries to figure out why domestic dogs are suddenly hungry for human beings."
Maybe the dogs got tired of eating the same old boring, non-screaming/non-bleeding bagged food out of the same dish day in and day out. Cats always get the good canned stuff – dogs usually have to eat artificially-flavored cardboard.
Don't mistake The Pack for the other The Pack, released in 2010. Same title, but that one features mutant monster ghouls who, like feral dogs, have a taste for human flesh. I heard one of 'em say people taste like artificially-flavored cardboard. Hard to find canned human, though the fresh stuff is always better.


Royal Geographical Society (Hong Kong) RGS HK - Wildlife Trade in 2018: is CITES Still up to the Task?
In this talk John Scanlon, who served as Secretary-General of CITES, critically reflects on the work done by CITES to protect wildlife and also introduces the conservation non-profit organisation African Parks, which he argues, offers a new hope in protecting African wildlife at its origin.
In 2010, when Mr Scanlon began working at CITES, the world was on the cusp of a surge in illegal wildlife trade. He also explains how he managed the global effort to tackle this scourge. He acknowledges that CITES has been challenged on many fronts, including how it addresses animal welfare issues and he explains how he dealt with these challenges. He discusses whether CITES is equipped to deal with future challenges, reflecting on his eight years' experience working with the Convention.
Mr Scanlon warns that once in illegal trade, any animal or plant is lost to the wild forever. He introduces African Parks, a conservation non-profit which has pioneered a new public private partnership that aims to save wildlife at source. He reflects on how and why this approach works and whether it would be applicable outside Africa as well. African Parks currently manages 15 national parks and protected areas in Africa, spanning 10.5 million hectares. Mr Scanlon now works as an African Parks Special Envoy with a mission to promote this innovative and effective way of protecting wildlife.
John Scanlon hails from Australia and holds a Bachelor's and Master's degree of Law from the University of Adelaide. He began his career in 1984 as Partner at a law firm in Adelaide, where he was in charge of Environmental Law. He then worked in the Australian Department for Environment and Natural Resources until 2001, when he began working as Director of the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) Environmental Law Centre.

BrightSign Unveils Integration with Revel Digital's Digital Signage & Media Distribution Platform
John Snedigar ⋅ Jun 6, 2018
BrightSign, LLC®, the global market leader in digital signage media players, today announced that its LS, XD and XT media players are now fully compatible with Revel Digital's next-generation digital signage and media distribution platform.
"Our platform makes it easy to deploy and manage displays in virtually any setting," said Jordan Johnson, Vertical Marketing Coordinator at Revel Digital. "Given how ubiquitous BrightSign's players are in the market, it made perfect sense for us to seamlessly integrate BrightSign's hardware into the Revel Digital workflow."
Revel Digital's web-based UI makes it easy to manage a near-limitless range of endpoints, including kiosks, digital menu boards, point-of-sale devices, video walls, beacons and more. The company's tools deliver the best possible experience for both digital signage providers, as well as end-users.
"Our customers often ask if they can run Revel Digital on our players, so we're keenly aware of the pent-up demand for Revel/BrightSign interoperability," said Jeff Hastings, CEO of BrightSign. "Our companies have a shared interest in delivering the best possible solutions to our customers, and the integration announced today greatly enhances the value proposition we offer our respective customers."
Revel Digital's patent-pending Smart Schedule technology eliminates common pain-points associated with creating and managing digital signage networks. The rule-based scheduler takes a natural language approach not only to scheduling content, but also to utilizing various conditional-play triggers such as audience metrics, beacons and motion sensors. This frees the network administrator to focus on the big picture, rather than on individual devices.

Ten Years after the Leningrad Trial 1
Since the Revolution, there have always been Soviet Jews wishing to repatriate to Israel. The trauma of the Holocaust spiritually created small groups of young assimilated Jews blindly searching for an explanation. The establishment of the state of Israel provided an interpretation and a visible goal. Such clandestine groups evolved with the political thaw that followed the death of Stalin.
More often than they adopted as mentors old men and women who had been Zionists in the early days of the Soviet state and, although they had not emigrated, neither had they renounced the dream of a return to Zion. When former Zionists from the annexed Baltic states, Bessarabia and Bukovina, returned from the camps, they swiftly became teachers.
Young Jews struggling against the peaceful slumber of assimilationism often looked to Riga, a stronghold of Jabotinsky's followers, and to Georgia, where a patriarchal structure enabled Judaism to flourish. A turning-point was marked by the International Youth Festival in Moscow in the summer of 1957 which drew young Jews from all over the USSR in the hope of meeting members of the very large Israeli delegation.
Gatherings such as these enabled inter-city contacts to be made. When a number of these youthful contacts were arrested, the KGB made the mistake of placing them in the same camps, thus creating the basis for yet another network. By the mid-sixties, groups existed in a number of cities emanating from different periods of Soviet oppression in Soviet history and, more often than not, ignorant of each other's existence. For example, Aron Shpilberg, a member of an isolated group in Leningrad, went hitchhiking in the Crimea in the summer of 1965. By accident he met a Jew from Riga who told him that there were Jews in the city who had applied to emigrate to Israel.
In February 1966, Shpilberg went to Riga and met Mordechai Blum, an activist who had applied to leave. Riga was still extremely strong in its Jewish traditions, a far cry from assimilated Leningrad. Blum taught Shpilberg about the Jewish festivals, Hebrew songs, how to dance the hora and, most important, how to work for emigration. Shpilberg went back to Leningrad with his suitcase full of books – books on Israel, Judaism, Jewish history, the Hebrew language and even Gideon Hausner's speech at the Eichmann trial.
No one from the Leningrad group had been in the camps and this contact was therefore an important one. Blum gave Shpilberg an address in Leningrad. When he followed this up, he found to his astonishment that another group of activists existed in Leningrad. This was the group of Hillel Butman and Grigory Vertlib. Within months, an eigth man initiative committee had been established and, in November 1966, the group formally labelled itself the Leningrad Zionist Organisation.
The Six Day war affected all Soviet Jews and was without doubt the catalyst which ushered in a Jewish national renaissance in the USSR. The apprehension in the early days of the war was felt no less keenly by Jewish communities in even the remotest parts of the USSR. In Moscow, Jews silently gathered opposite the Israeli Embassy. This did not materialise because the Leningraders had no contact with either the Moscow activists or with foreign journalists.
The Six Day war brought in recruits in droves to these small Jewish groups. No more were there Jews of Silence. The most vibrant and influential was the group headed by David Khavkin in Moscow who had pioneered activity to raise the national consciousness of the Jewish masses. In exile near Odessa in the early sixties, Khavkin had been observed walking along the seashore with a tape-recorder. The difference was that the music drifting through the atmosphere was that of Israeli songs sung in Hebrew. Bewildered Jews would often stop him to ask about the songs.
Following the Six Day war, the Kremlin halted even the trickle of Jews permitted to leave for Israel. in August 1968, emigration resumed once more, but significantly, the Kremlin decided to give exit visas to well-known activists. Thus, in November 1968, when the Riga activist, David Garber, arrived in the Soviet capital, Moscow Jews refused to belive that he was en route to Israel until they actually saw his suitcases. Soon even the most militant Jews, such as Leah Slovina and Dov Shperling, were permitted to leave.
The accelerating pace of events demanded greater co-ordination. On 16 August 1969, activists from seven cities met in a forest to establish the VKK (the All-Union Co-ordinating Committee). One purpose of the meeting was to initiate collective appeals. Unknown to them and to Gershon Tsitsuashvili, the Georgian representative, the famous letter of the eighteen Georgian families to Golda Meir had been handed into the Dutch Embassy the week before by a group unconnected with the mainstream movement, personified by the VKK.
Another central issue raised was the propagation of educational material. The VKK considered the concept of levels of activity. Those who were willing to come out into the open were designated 'aleph' while those whose activities were clandestine were labelled 'bet'. 'Aleph' activists signed collective letters while 'bet' people would be those involved in the accumulation and dissemination of material, particularly in the form of a journal.
At the second VKK meeting in Riga, a decision was taken to establish Iton whose editorial board consisted of 'bet' activists from Moscow, Riga and Leningrad. Addresses and telephone numbers to obtain the necessary information and material were exchanged. The cities were even given code names. Moscow became Misha, Riga Roma and Leningrad Lonya. The Riga representative on Iton was the young activist, Iosif Mendelevich. His expertise was undoubtedly in the writing of letters. He had already drafted an appeal to Jews to register their mother tongue as 'Jewish' in the forthcoming census. Terming the Soviet assimilationist approach to the Jewish problem as linguistic and cultural genocide, he wrote:
I shall not give those who would like to destroy my people the possibility of stating on the basis of data in the census that as the Jews of the Soviet Union have lost their language, they have nothing in common with the Jewish people.
The first meeting of the Iton editorial board took place in January 1970. They were marked, however, by severe differences of opinion. Mendelevich, a young orthodox Jew, came from a Latvia which had been Sovietised only thirty years before. Victor Boguslavsky, the Leningrad representative, came from a Communist background. Even his grandparents, had been Bolsheviks. The nominal editor-in-chief, Lev Korenblit, who had been brought up as a chalutz (Zionist pioneer) in pre-war Romania, did not accept Mendelevich's militancy.
For all that, within a few weeks, Iton was being typed by Silva Zalmanson in Riga, where photography, printing and eventual distribution were carried out. The first Iton contained articles by Amos Kenan and Ephraim Kishon, a piece by Jabotinsky on Trumpeldor and a profile on Golda Meir from The Times. Mendelevich himself contributed two articles: Purim in the Forest and May the Jewish People Live on the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. A third article to which Mendelvich attached his name, entitled About Assimilation, was in fact written by Professor Mikhail Zand, a future movement leader, but at that time, unwilling to declare himself openly. One hundred and thirty copies of the second Iton were produced, containing similar material to its predecessor; an article from the Jerusalem Post; a report of the gathering at Babi Yar in 1969 and open letters from Soviet Jews.
The third meeting, essentially to discuss the next issue of Iton took place in Riga in May 1970. The difference of approach between Riga and Leningrad seemed keener than ever. Mendelevich termed the whole idea of Iton, 'child's play' and said that something else, something more significant, should be done to help the thousands of Jews who wished to leave the Soviet Union. He did not elaborate.
Boguslavsky and Korenblit rejected Mendelevich's version of the third Iton as virulently critical of the Soviet Union and thus counter-productive. Mendelevich consequently resigned from the Iton editorial board. The next meeting of the board was scheduled for 13 June in Leningrad. On that day, the new Riga representative, Boris Maftser, flew into Leningrad. At the airport, he met, of all people, Mendelevich. When Maftser asked what he was doing there, Mendelevich snapped back: You haven't seen me' and mysteriously disappeared.
Mendelevich's secrecy, his frustration with Iton and his desire 'to do something else' had found a haven in another project.
The idea to take an aircraft and to fly it out of the Soviet Union to freedom was not a new one. In 1948 Jewish students conceived such a idea in the hope of enlisting to fight in Israel's war of independence. In the two decades that had elapsed, such a scheme periodically surfaced as a result of the intense frustration in waiting. Forgotten were the tight security considerations or the fact that Soviet airline officials usually put up a determined struggle.
Shortly after the Six Day war, Mark Dymshits, a former pilot, began to concoct several different notions of illegal escape from the USSR. His first idea was to float to freedom in a do-it-yourself hot-air balloon. This was dropped to make way for a backyard build-it-yourself aeroplane. When this, too, proved impracticable, he resolved to steal an already manufactured plane – one belonging to the Soviet state. Such thoughts could not be translated into action by one man. Dymshits needed friends.
He first met Hillel Butman, one of the leaders of the Leningrad group in the autumn of 1969. Butman became interested in the plan to take an aircraft. His acceptance, however, antagonised many within the group and created differences of opinion. The paramount priority of the Leningrad group was to increase emigration. In 1967 only 1,380 Jews had left the USSR. In 1968 this figure had dropped to 224, and by late 1969, the all-time high of 3,000 looked like being reached. Yet even if this was relatively high compared to other years, it would still have taken decades for all the thousands of applicants to leave.
The idea to attempt something dramatic, to cause a scandal which could not be hushed up, was by no means novel to the Riga people. Butman therefore began to sound them out. Indeed before been mentioning the aeroplane plan, Edward Kuznetsov, the new husband of Silva Zalmanson, told him:
Many people are desperate, ready to explode; their applications are rejected with no reasons given and they go from humiliation to humiliation. They spend years in and out of suitcases. Their whole life, whether it be personal relationships or their job or their apartment and the rest of it is at the mercy of others. Can't you see it ?
Maybe today or tomorrow, a group of people, united in desperation, will take the fateful step forward. They, themselves, may suffer greatly, but by their actions theu will break the dam through which many others will pass. My good sense tells me: 'Wait, wait, wait and you'll get there without due difficulty', but my conscience says 'Yes, but over someone else's dead body.' My temperament despises waiting; yet, united with my conscience and my and my impatience, it urges me to take my part in every stage of the way forward. (Prison Diaries by Edward Kuznetsov)
Kuznetsov warmed to the aeroplane plan and emerged essentially as its advocate. In Leningrad, however, the other activists were becoming increasingly agitated as reports from a number of cities about the 'aeroplane people' filtered through. Lev Korenblit, David Chernoglaz and Lassal Kaminsky were particularly incensed and realised that such attitudes and preparatory work could endanger the mainstream movement. They regarded the idea as a cancer spreading throughout the movement with only one end in sight.

Movies, TV, Music and Sports
Your best concert experience
By [TNT] Sonic Goo
August 29, 2005 in Movies, TV, Music and Sports
Tell us about the concerts you have the best memories of. Here are some of mine:
Smashing Pumpkins, Metropolis Rotterdam
Back when they still wore dresses, before they were famous. We were all wondering whether that guitarist was a guy or a girl. Until he openend his mouth, of course.
Bettie Serveert, Nighttown Rotterdam
The audience wanted them back, but they'd run out of songs. So they just kept playing the same ones. (I saw them a few years later at the same venue in the basement - they'd completely lost their magic.)
Townes van Zandt, Rotown Rotterdam
Some artists *cough*Janet Jackson*cough* cry as part of their act. Townes wasn't like that. He had to stop because he was afraid he'd fall over. A few weeks later he was dead.
Aisha Kandisha's Jarring Effects, Dunya Rotterdam
One guy wore a hood and mirrorshades. Another a fez and a white pyjama. Another a turban and a blue dress. Etc. The music was basically the same.
I could go on, but I'll leave it at that. What are yours?
Paolo Conte - Auditorium - Dijon - 2005
Very few light effects (something like 3 colours, period), a simple black scene, and 15 of the best Jazz musicians I've ever seen. Inredibly emotional, I stayed in the hall for several minutes after everyone was gone, just to remember the feeling of this moment. This guy is a living legend.
Joe Cocker - Palais des sports - Dijon - 1995
This was my first "big" concert, and will remain a very good memory, despite the awful sound -due to the hall, not to the sound engineer.
Eurythmics - Palais Omnisport de Bercy - Paris - 1999
Ten years after their last album, and 11 years after their last gig in Bercy, I had the chance to see Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart on stage, which is not likely to happen before quite a while, now. Annie's got the purest voice I've ever heard. Awwww...
Killing Joke - Palatina Bar - Athens - 1996
KJ is certainly one of my favourite groups, as you may know. But nothing compares to seeing them live, it's something you'll never forget. It's a celebration more than a concert, and you really feel like strange things happen while they play. Lovecraft would have found the right terms, not me Check photos and press articles on www.killingjoke.com!
Queen - a night at the Zenith - unique event - Paris - 1996
A few years after Freddie's tragic death, the remaining three members of Queen decided to offer a special night to their French fans. They played a few classic Queen songs with friends, we were only 5000 people, and it was a real privilege to be there that night. I think it was the last time the band appeared somewhere as "Queen", and not as psecial guests on Brian May's tour dates or whatever.
Mettalica concert (during the black album tour) 1998? Madison Square Garden.
From my hazey recolections, I THINK I had a great time. The concert floor was shaped likd a figure eight with a revolving middle. This allowed all the musicians to run around the whole arena (cept lars Ulrich of course). Had people run accross the stage on fire, over all crazyness.
Location:California
Tori Amos-Plugged tour 1998-Red Rocks Ampitheatre...Morrison, Colorado (Denver). This was the first time I got to see her live, I've been able to see her twice since then. She was, of course, surreal, ethereal, angelic, aggressive, and the embodiment of perfection, but then again, she always is...needless to say she is my favorite musician and we had a great time.
The Alan Parsons Project-Paolo Soleri Ampitheatre...Santa Fe, New Mexico. I believe I went to this concert in 1998 as well...Awesome singer for this concert. There were so many lead singers for the band, even on the same album, that it's not a bad thing to have a different lead singer than you were expecting, it's not like seeing Journey nowadays and being flabbergasted that Steve Perry is no longer their lead singer...Great show, even greater ampitheatre...
Lilith Fair-Wine Festival Grounds...Bernalillo, New Mexico. 1997. I got to see many people that I'd always wanted to see in a single afternoon. Sarah McLachlan, Natalie Merchant, Sinead O'Connor, and Liz Phair..I hope I'm not forgetting anyone.
Easy Star All-Stars/Alpha Blondy-Here in California I was able to attend this awesome reggae show with Alpha Blondy headlining, they were awesome. The highlight of the evening, and the reason I went, was the band Easy Star All-Stars' performance of Dark Side Of The Moon which they lovingly call 'Dub Side Of The Moon'! Can you all imagine?, a reggae version of Dark Side??? I bought the album as well, but I must say, they had definitely made it their own when I saw them perform it live. The album is overly produced at least as much as the Pink Floyd version, it's even Wizard Of Oz compatible if you can believe it. If you get a chance to see Dub Side Of The Moon live then please, by all means, go, even if you don't want to!!!
I'm also planning on going to see my favorite ska band, 'The Toasters', here in California soon, I'll report back after the show!
Caip
Marduk Concert at Wacken Open Air 2005
It was really amazing! It started to rain in the middle of the show for a couple of minutes but I and I think most others around me didn't care at all.
>FoXSy<
Location:Los Angeles Cali. Greatness: 100%
Caip, is it true they pass out razors in that concert?
Foxsy didn't you tell me that u once went to a "PHAT" Vanilla Ice concert where you threw your doo-rag up on stage?
Doo Rag! Saw them live too.
Nah, i dont really go to concerts...
i went to a Jurassic-5 one like 6 months ago in LA,
and most the rap i listen to dont rap no more...
and todays rap is a disgrace to the music race.
and most of the rock i like dont even rock no more,
id like to see Greenday and Dilated people though.
Leesy
Location:Cambridge, UK
NOLF games played:NOLF & NOLF2
I thought I'd write a little about some of the concerts that I have been too over my time (and that's not many).
The first concert I ever went to was... Britney Spears! This was back in the day when she was still looking great and making some alright songs. Best part of it? When the set was turned into a bedroom and Britney came out in nothing but a large t-shirt. She does/did have some great legs!
It started to get better after that. I went to see Stereophonics supported by Feeder. The Phonics were good but Feeder were much better. Nothing like some good old British rock.
After that it was Lifehouse. They were pretty damn good. Small gig too so it was kind of "personal". Same night as an England footie match though - that sucked a little.
The most recent concert I've been to is see Lemon Jelly. That was pretty damn good. Some of their tracks really got the place jumping. The place went crazy when "Nice Weather For Ducks" came on.
And that's it - until November. Then I'm taking my girlfriend to see a band that are legends - BLONDIE!!!
