Vayikra 5774
Vayikra (Leviticus 1-5)
Mar 2, 2014 | by Rabbi Kalman Packouz
GOOD MORNING! Purim is coming up next week – Saturday night, March 15th, through all day Sunday. Purim is the holiday that reminds us that God runs the world behind the scenes. Coincidence is God's way of staying anonymous! Nowhere in the Megillas Esther is the name of God mentioned, though there is a tradition that every time the words "the King" are used it also refers to the Almighty.
Megillas Esther is a book full of suspense and intrigue with a very satisfying ending – the Jewish people are saved from destruction! I highly recommend Turnabout – it has an English translation of the Megillah (literally: scroll) as well as a rendition of the Purim story incorporating the commentary of the Malbim.
Usually the Fast of Esther immediately precedes Purim. However, this year the day before Purim is Shabbat. Since we only fast on Shabbat for Yom Kippur, the fast is moved up to Thursday, March 13th. The fast commemorates the three day Fast of Esther and the Jewish people before she approached King Ahashverosh with her request. Named in her honor, it is also in memory of the Jews' fast before going to battle the anti-Semites in the Purim story.
A great book about Purim is Rabbi Shimon Apisdorf's The One Hour Purim Primer – Everything a family needs to understand, celebrate and enjoy Purim (it and other books on Purim are available at your local Jewish bookstore). Writes Rabbi Apisdorf: If a family is a "twice a year to synagogue" family, then those days should at least be Purim and Simchas Torah (when everyone dances around celebrating the completion and beginning of reading the Torah). Our kids should see and be a part of the joy of being Jewish!
Purim comes from the word "pur" in Persian which means "lots" – as in, "Haman cast lots for the most 'auspicious' date to kill the Jews." The date fell on the 13th of Adar. The events of that date were turned around from a day of destruction to a day of victory and joy. We celebrate Purim on the 14th of Adar for "they gained relief on the fourteenth, which they made a day of feasting and gladness" (Megillas Esther 9:17).
In very few places – most notably in Jerusalem – Purim is celebrated the following day, the 15th day of Adar. The Sages declared that all cities which were walled cities at the time of Joshua should celebrate Purim the following day. This is to commemorate the extra day which King Ahashverosh granted Esther to allow the Jews of Shushan (the capital of Persia, which was a walled city) to deal with their enemies. In Shushan they gained relief on the fifteenth. The holiday celebrated on the 15th of Adar is called Shushan Purim.
There are two ways in which to try to destroy the Jewish people – physically and spiritually. Our enemies have attempted both. Chanukah is the celebration over those who have tried and failed to culturally assimilate us (the Greeks and Western Culture); Purim is the celebration over those who have tried and failed to physically destroy us (from the Amalekites to the Persians, ad nauseam).
Why do we masquerade with costumes and masks on Purim? As mentioned above, nowhere in the Megillas Esther does God's name appear. If one so desires, he can see the whole Purim story as a chain of coincidences totally devoid of Divine Providence. Just as we hide behind masks, but our essence is still there, so too God has "hidden His face" behind the forces of history, but is still there guiding history.
Why do we make noise every time Haman's name is mentioned in the Megillah? The answer: By blotting out Haman's name we are symbolically obliterating evil.
The holiday is celebrated by hearing the Megillah Saturday night and Sunday morning. During the day only, we fulfill three mitzvot: 1) Matanot L'evyonim – giving gifts or money to at least two poor people. (While it is good to give locally, one can fulfill the mitzvot by giving at http://www.kerenyehoshuavyisroel.com for the poor Jews of Jerusalem) 2) Mishloach Manot, the "sending of portions," giving at least two ready-to-eat foods to a minimum of one person. One should send via a messenger. (You can order Kosher Purim baskets from: Rabbi Chaim Casper's Surf Florist of Miami Beach 305-865-0433 or SurfFlorist@juno.com) and 3) Seudah, a festive meal. During the meal we are commanded to drink wine until we don't know the difference between "Blessed is Mordechai" and "Cursed is Haman." (It is best fulfilled by drinking a little and taking a nap – one doesn't know the difference between them while sleeping!) One should NOT drink to excess. The mitzvah is about connecting to the Almighty – and sloppy drunks are lousy at spirituality. Drinking can be dangerous. The mitzvah is only at the meal with wine and should be well-controlled and minimized.
Why are we instructed to drink this amount? In a certain sense, Purim is greater than Yom Kippur. On Yom Kippur we fast and it is easy for our soul to have dominance over the body. Purim is the epitome of integrating the physical and the spiritual towards realizing that the Almighty loves us. The only thing that stands between you and the Almighty – is you. The wine and the spirit of the day help us get beyond the barrier – to realize that everything comes from the Almighty for our good! We may perceive things that happen to us as "bad" though ultimately they benefit us either physically and/or spiritually.
The mitzvot of Mishloach Manot and giving gifts to the poor were prescribed to generate brotherly love between all Jews. When there is love and unity amongst us, our enemies cannot harm us!

Vayikra, Leviticus 1:1 – 5:26
The book of Vayikra (Leviticus) primarily deals with what are commonly called "sacrifices" or "offerings." According to Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch: a "sacrifice" implies giving up something that is of value to oneself for the benefit of another. An "offering" implies a gift which satisfies the receiver. The Almighty does not need our gifts. He has no needs or desires. The Hebrew word is korban, which is best translated as a means of bringing oneself into a closer relationship with the Almighty. The offering of korbanot was only for our benefit to come close to the Almighty.
Ramban, one of the essential commentaries on Torah, explains that through the vicarious experience of what happened to the animal korbanot, the transgressor realized the seriousness of his transgression. This aided him in the process of teshuva – correcting his erring ways.
This week's portion includes the details of various types of korbanot: burnt offering, flour offering (proof that one does not need to offer "blood" to gain atonement), the first grain offering, peace offering, unintentional sin offering (private and communal), guilt (for an intentional sin) offerings – varied upon one's ability to pay, and an offering for personal use of something designated or belonging to the Tabernacle or the Temple.
Dvar Torah
based on Growth Through Torah by Rabbi Zelig Pliskin
The Torah states:
"Every meal offering that you offer to the Almighty do not make it chometz (leavened); for you shall burn no yeast, nor any honey, in any offering of the Almighty made by fire. With all your offerings you shall offer salt" (Leviticus 2:11-13).
Yeast and honey were not permitted in the offering on the altar. Yeast makes the dough rise higher, but it is an external additive. Honey makes things taste sweet, but it is also an external additive. Salt, on the other hand, brings out the flavor of the food, but only the flavor that is already there. This, says Rabbi Mordechai Gifter, symbolizes a basic principle in spiritual matters.
When serving the Almighty you should follow the model of salt. That is, utilize all the abilities and talents that you have to serve Him. Do not be like yeast that causes distortion of what is there. Do not be like honey that is very sweet, but is something borrowed from the outside. Be yourself, but make every effort to be all that you can be.

Ranked: the best political party merch for Christmas
By Toby Manhire
What better way to delight your friends and family than with some merchandise from the political party they love – or even better, one they loathe. Here are the pick of the online stores.
9. T-Shirt – New Conservatives, $10
For a party committed to keeping things as they are, there has been a lot of change at the New Conservatives. And that is reflected in the promotional picture for the New Con tee, which is modelled here by Leighton Baker and Elliot Ikilei, both of who used to be the party leader before being unseated for reasons unknown.
Be that as it may – 10 bucks! And you would look great in that blue.
8. Bumper sticker – Act, $5
Sometimes bumper sticker politics mean actual bumper stickers, and here Act is jumping on the doublecabwagon with a jab at the so-called "ute tax" and the prime minister's suggestion that some utes are more "legitimate" than others.
It is also very clearly an allusion to Edmund's famous line in King Lear. "As to the legitimate," he said. "Fine word, 'legitimate'! – well, my legitimate, if this letter speed and my invention thrive, Edmund the base Shall top th' legitimate. I grow, I prosper. Now, gods, stand up for bastards!"
At the time of writing, there were 1,465 stickers available.
7. 'Wasted vote' mug – TOP, $22
A mug from the Opportunities Party. In the middle there is a cannabis leaf, so it may be a reference to the cannabis legalisation referendum, which it pre-dates. But also there's a play on words there. "Wasted vote" appears to acknowledge the haters' suggestion that a vote for TOP is wasted – and, well, they did get 1.5% last election, well below the 5% threshold. But, wait: "wasted" is edgy slang for being heavily intoxicated, so, well, I don't know. Also TOP is POT backwards so really makes you think.
6. Keyring – National, $19.95
Zoom in on "this nifty National Party keyring" and you'll see that it's celebrating the years 1936-2016. That's because, of course, it's from the 80-year anniversary celebrations, but in light of the National reset – the Relux – and the commitment to delete from the party drives all files relating to the recent past, it's very on message.
5. Tea(m) towel – Labour, $25
Here's a tea towel – sorry tea(m) towel – celebrating Labour's historic 2020 victory, squeezing the zillion MPs you've never heard of into one rectangle that has the added advantage of drying your steel tankards.
Pros: The tea towel includes Chris Hipkins spreading his legs.
Cons: This tea towel is superior. Plus, in keeping with Labour's recent approach, it's not actually available yet, and won't be until December 16. Which makes it, really, an announcement of an announcement.
4. Face mask – Greens, $38
No sign of the famous retro Green hoodie in the party merch store, nor so much as a glimpse of the Green undies they were hawking before the election. There is, however, in the spirit of the times, a face mask, made in New Zealand from offcuts, obviously.
3. Ear warmer – Te Pāti Māori, $20
If you're splitting your vote Green-Māori, twin your Green face mask with a Te Pāti Māori ear warmer. Disappointing, if I'm honest, not to see any of the Rawiri Waititi wardrobe in there. Where is the pounamu hei-tiki, the Stetson, the Air Waititis?
2. Necktie – National, $49.95
Fifty bucks is a lot for a tie, but this one is "sporting a discreet logo", and if the image is a guide it will provide the most alpha chest puff imaginable and Bill English will land like an angel on your shoulder, whispering sensible advice and moody haiku in your ear for the rest of your days.
1. Handmade flower crochet lights decoration (Dolls not included) – Act, $25
The dolls themselves are not included. The flowers are completely out of stock. And yet this is so ineffably great that it still takes first place, and comfortably. Association of Craft and Tremendousness, right there.
"String these handmade crochet lights to celebrate and brighten up your home." Yes! "Approximately 2m long." Perfect! "Two AA batteries included." Stop it! "Dolls not included." Sad but fair but how much for the dolls?
Important update: They have just added fresh handmade flower crochet lights decoration stock. Ten available! Get in quick.

Do you feel as if you're wrestling an octopus in the morning trying to get a shirt, pants and socks on your toddler? Getting ready for the day with a young child often ends in tears — for both them and Mom.
But there's an easier way! If you make getting dressed fun for your tot, it will be less of a fight and easier to get out the door. Follow these tried-and-true tips for streamlining your morning routine.
What's more fun for a toddler than a competition? Turn getting dressed in the morning into a race against the clock by setting a kitchen timer or an alarm on your phone. Can your child find all the pieces to their outfit in time? Reward a job well done with stickers or an extra story at bedtime.
Everyone loves a fluffy warm towel from the dryer when they get out of the shower. But your toddler might also appreciate toasty warm clothes in the wintertime. Toss their pants, shirt, socks and even underpants in the dryer for a quick fluff to coax them into getting dressed for the day.
One of the easiest ways to get toddlers dressed and out the door is to allow them to do it themselves. You can restrict the options for little Miss Independent by limiting her clothing color palette and organizing her dresser drawers. Put pants in one drawer, shirts in one and socks in another. Tell her she can pick one item from each drawer. She'll be proud of herself, and you'll be out the door in record time — hopefully with a presentable toddler.
If your little fashionista is getting picky about what she's wearing, it might be time for a wardrobe update. You can mix in new customized pieces with big sister's hand-me-downs and allow your youngster to show off her own personality. Buy plain toddler-sized T-shirts, sweatshirts, sweatpants and polo shirts. Add embroidery, appliques, iron-on transfers or custom designs that your child helps choose and will be excited to wear.
Sometimes your toddler is going to want to wear their superhero cape or tutu. Decide if having them change is worth the argument. Does it matter if your kid goes to the grocery store in his pajamas? If you can guarantee one less toddler-sized meltdown for the day, it might be worth letting them win this battle.
You've got this, Mom! Good luck taming the morning madness with your tot.

Clerici Infantry
Hierarchical Path: Seven Years War (Main Page) >> Armies >> Austrian Army >> Clerici Infantry
This regiment was raised by Marquis Antonio Giorgio Clerici di Cavenago (from the Lake Como area but born 1715 in Milan) on May 2 1744, during the War of the Austrian Succession. The regiment was organized as a standard Austrian infantry regiment with some 2,000 vagabonds recruited in the Duchy of Milan and 400 men from the militia. They were first reviewed on August 24 1744 at the Castle of Milan. At that time, the regiment comprised 15 fusilier and two grenadier companies, for a total of 1,568 men. Its colonel and commander was Marquis Antonio Giorgio Clerici; its lieutenant-colonel, Ascario Count Cicogna; and its major, Franz Andreas Baron von Valentiani.
The regiment received its baptism of fire in the Battle of Madonna dell'Olmo (aka Battle on Stura) on September 30 1744 in which the Austro-Sardinian army fought against Franco-Spanish Allies. In 1745, the regiment (now 2,249 men strong) was deployed in General Schulemburg's Corps which was sent to Lombardy. At the end of the year, the regiment garrisoned Mantua, only his proprietor, the Marquis Clerici (promoted major-general) participated in the following campaign and was wounded at the battle of Novi. In May 1746, Ascario Count Cicogna was promoted to colonel and commander of the regiment. In 1747, the regiment was sent to Ofen and Szegedin in Hungary. On November 20, when it was reviewed, it counted a total of 1,402 men in total.
In 1751, Ascario Count Cicogna was promoted to general and was replaced by Franz Andreas Baron Valentiani as colonel and commander of the regiment.
After the war, the regiment garrisoned at Temesvár where it remained until 1756.
During the Seven Years' War, the proprietor of the regiment was:
since May 1744: Marquis Antonio Giorgio Clerici di Cavenago (died in 1768)
During the Seven Years' War, its colonel-commanders were:
from 1751 to October 1758: Franz Andreas Baron Valentiani (mortally wounded at Hochkirch)
from December 5 1758 until 1771: Francesco de Ferretti
Regimental numbers were introduced only in 1769 when this regiment was designated as "I.R. 44". Since July 8 1769, the regiment was known as Karl Rudolf Count Gaisruck and from October 21 1778 as Ludwig Karl Count von Barbiao und Belgioioso.
In 1860, the Habsburg monarchy lost Lombardy. The regiment was reorganized in Padua and now received its recruits from Hungary.
In 1756, at the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, the regiment, who was garrisoning Temesvár, was called to Bohemia but too late to participate in the current campaign.
On September 7 1757, FML Marquis Clerici commanded the left wing of Nádasdy's Corps in the Combat of Moys where he was wounded once more. The regiment itself was not present at this combat. Its first participation in that war was at the Siege of Schweidnitz from October to November. Colonel Amadei from Nikolaus Esterházy Infantry with 3 grenadier companies (from Luzzara Infantry, Clerici Infantry and a Bavarian regiment) and one battalion from Batthyányi Infantry stormed an entrenchment, Lieutenant-Colonel Rhédei from Haller Infantry with 3 companies (Clerici Infantry, Forgách Infantry and a Bavarian regiment) made himself master of another. The present regiment distinguished itself in the capture of the fortress. On November 22, one battalion of the regiment and the grenadiers took part in the Battle of Breslau where they was deployed in the first line of the infantry centre of Nádasdy's Corps. The proprietor of the regiment, the Marquis Clerici, led the troops who attacked Pilsnitz and was once more seriously wounded. On December 5 at the Battle of Leuthen, one battalion of the regiment was deployed in the second line of the Reserve of the left wing under Marshal Forgách as part of Nádasdy's Corps. In this battle the battalion lost 168 men killed, 4 officers wounded, and 2 officers and 158 men taken prisoners of war. The Austrian army then retreated to Bohemia where it took up its winter-quarters around Königgrätz (present-day Hradec Králové/CZ).
By January 1758, the regiment counted only 659 men, formed in one battalion and one grenadier company. It was attached to FZM Harsch's Corps deployed near Horzinowec (present-day Hořiněves/CZ). By August 2, the regiment served in the first line of the main Austrian army under the command of Count Leopold Daun near Jaromirs. Daun was following up the Prussian army retiring through Bohemia after the failure of the Prussian invasion of Moravia. On October 14, one battalion of the regiment took part in the Battle of Hochkirch where it was deployed in the first line of the right column of Daun's main army, directly south of Hochkirch. Its grenadiers were converged with those of other regiments to form 4 battalions deployed in the third column under Colonel Browne. The battalion recaptured the town of Hochkirch and repulsed Prussian attempt to dislodge it. Colonel Valentiani led his battalion during first attack on the churchyard of Hochkirch. In this battle, the battalion lost 5 officers and 67 men killed; 13 officers and 94 men wounded; and 1 officer and 147 men missing. The regiment was virtually destroyed. Furthermore, Colonel Valentiani was mortally wounded and died within a few days. He was post mortem promoted to general and appointed count (Reichsgraf). On December 5, Lieutenant-Colonel Francesco de Ferretti was promoted to colonel and commander of the regiment.
According to some sources, after Hochkirch, the remaining officers and men of the regiment might have returned to Transylvania, where its third (depot) battalion was stationed, for a few months. There it replenished its ranks.
On January 30 1759, one complete battalion set off from Temesvár and Esseg and marched to join the field army. The Ordre de Bataille of March 15 showed the regiment again with 2 fusilier battalions and 2 grenadier companies. It formed part of Daun's main army, in the Corps de Reserve, both grenadier companies were attached to Major-General Siskovics's Brigade while both fusilier battalions (1,781 men) were in Major-General Hardenegg's Brigade. The strength of the regiment (2 field battalions and 2 grenadier companies) should theoretically count around 1,880 men. However, in January, it was reported with 1,485 men effective among whom only 403 men were fit for duty! Therefore, the regiment sometimes formed a single battalion in the line of battle. By mid August, the regiment (1 battalion) was part of Aynse's Corps. On September 2, it was at the Combat of Sorau. On November 20, it took part in the victorious Battle of Maxen where it was deployed in the second line of the first infantry column of Sincère's Corps under the command of Lieutenant-General d'Aynse. The grenadiers were in the vanguard, in Siskovics' Grenadier Brigade.
At the beginning of 1760, the regiment was deployed in Lacy's independent corps posted on right bank of the Elbe. On May 11, the regiment (now 772 men) was sent to Dresden to replace Salm Infantry. In July, it took part in the defence of Dresden as part of the garrison. In second part of the year, the regiment was attached to the Reichsarmee and, in October, it marched with this army to Dresden. The Austro-Imperial army was then sent to camp around Dippoldiswalde. For its part, the regiment (now 2 battalions and 2 grenadier companies for a total of 837 men) was transferred to General Guasco's Corps who marched to Eger (present-day Cheb/CZ).
In May 1761, Guasco's Corps rejoined the main army, arriving at the camp of Dippoldiswalde on May 19. The regiment remained there during the Summer and was later transferred to Plauen.
In 1762, FM Serbelloni was appointed commander in Saxony. The regiment was deployed in Major-General Johann Baron von Zedtwitz small corps at Doebeln. On May 2, Zedtwitz was surprised by the superior Prussian force of Prince Heinrich in the Combat of Doebeln. In this action, the Austrians lost 42 officers and 1,536 men who were taken prisoners of war. From the regiment, Colonel Ferretti, 4 officers and 280 men were captured. On October 14 and 15, the rest of the regiment took part in the combats of Conradsdorf and Brand where it lost 4 men killed, 4 wounded and 28 missing or taken prisoners.
After, the signature of the Treaty of Hubertusburg, on February 13 1763, the regiment remained for some time in Saxony and then returned to Lombardy where it initially garrisoned Cremona, and then Bozzolo until 1766..

Learn about the shorebirds and see the chicks up close through a birdscope this Sat. and Sun.
A pair of black skimmers have successfully nested and hatched three chicks at Henderson Beach State Park this summer. These beautiful shorebirds arrived at Henderson right after July 4, 2014. Approximately 4-5 days later, three eggs were laid three days in a row.
Black skimmers are not often seen in the Okaloosa/Walton area, and this species typically nests within a colony of other skimmers.

Mates take turns scraping the sand to create a nest, kicking sand behind them with alternating foot strokes. They then rotate in their scrape to create a saucer-shaped depression. The average scrape is 10 inches in diameter and 1 inch deep.
It's been a precarious journey for the little ones as the eggs were hatched in a congested area along the beach and close to the shoreline. A large area was roped off for their safety according to park services specialist Lynda Smith.
As of Aug. 22, so far so good according to Smith. The three chicks are doing well and may be ready to fledge in another two weeks.
If you are interested in seeing these beautiful shorebirds and their chicks, head over to Henderson and take a peek. There will be an Audubon shorebird steward with a scope for better viewing on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

Cool facts about black skimmers:
The Black Skimmer is the only American representative of the skimmer family. The other two, rather similar, species are the African Skimmer and the Indian Skimmer. All use the same unusual feeding method.
Although the Black Skimmer is active throughout the day, it is largely crepuscular (active in the dawn and dusk) and even nocturnal. Its use of touch to catch fish lets it be successful in low light or darkness.
At hatching, the two mandibles of a young Black Skimmer are equal in length, but by fledging at four weeks, the lower mandible is already nearly 1 cm longer than the upper.
Possibly the best description of the Black Skimmer's bounding, head-down foraging style came from R. C. Murphy in 1936. He said they look like "unworldly… aerial beagles hot on the scent of aerial rabbits."

Brexit and EU Citizens' Rights: Euronews
The House of Commons approved the EU Withdrawal Bill without change, but the House of Lords approved three changes. The first would give EU citizens an automatic right to stay in the UK after Brexit rather than expecting them to apply. The upper chamber also approved issuing physical documents to EU citizens as proof of their right to stay post-Brexit. The government supports a digital system and immediate transition from a free-movement system to one based on merit and points. Pro-Brexit political leaders had campaigned for "no change for lawful EU residents" and automatic and "indefinite leave to remain in the UK," reports Alasdair Sandford for Euronews. The concern is that the digital system could miss and criminalize people in a matter of months. "Peers also voted against plans to give government ministers powers to decide which courts can depart from European Court of Justice judgements. A third defeat followed when they backed a move to make courts refer cases to the Supreme Court if they envisage departing from EU law." With UK departure set for January 31, the EU Parliament urges citizen safeguards. – YaleGlobal

Now shopaholics will be tempted to buy electronic goods even more as one of the largest user electronics retailer chains in Japan – Yamada Denki – starts accepting bitcoin funds for payment. And even if now the service will be available only its two stores, the company has grand ambitions for allowing its clients all over the world to pay for commodities with cryptos.
As it is mentioned in the company's official statement, the project was implemented on January 27. To realize such ambition, the Japanese retail titan had to collaborate with the cyber money trading platform bitFlyer, so now the option of paying with BTC will soon be available in two Yamada Denki's shops.
By the way, one of its depots, where people will be able to conduct payment using the crypto-coin, is located in Tokyo, in the special district (ward) of Shinjuku. The decision to establish the bitcoin-payment service there depended on the fact that this area is very appealing for foreign tourists. In the meantime, the second shop with such service is based in the capital's top business area.
"In addition to diversifying [our services], we will implement initiatives to improve bitcoin recognition and usage promotion."
Nevertheless, the company is not going to stop only at two stores with available bitcoin-payment service. It has significant ambitions, as recently Yamada Denki announced about its plans to allow the clients to use BTC for remuneration even out of the country.
But now as these intentions have not been realized, the retailer has placed the settlement limit for BTC on one account. And that limit of bitcoins is equal to $2,760 (300,000 Japanese yen). By the way, according to Coinmarketcap.com, BTC is being traded at $10,500 (1.1 million of Japanese yen).
Notably, Yamada Denki is not the first retailer to accept BTC funds as payment. Last year spring Bic Camera, another country's e-retailer, announced its decision to review a novel point-of-sale system in collaboration with the same exchange – bitFlyer. This option was expected to permit clients to buy commodities using the most known crypto coin in the world. In summer 2017, the company notified that it was spreading such payment service all over Japan.
Also, before the fall, a division store chain Marui checked out BTC remuneration in one of its shops in Tokyo.

Kia Niro SUV concept to appear at Frankfurt
* Kia reveals SUV concept to appear at Frankfurt show * Small, chunky SUV to be called Niro * Production version would rival the likes of Nissan Juke...
Tom Webster
Kia has announced that the concept car it will display at the Frankfurt motor show will be called the Kia Niro.
The small SUV concept hints at a possible future rival for the likes of the Nissan Juke.
Although it is not yet confirmed for production, Kia has previously said that a small SUV would fit well into its line up.
'We enjoy a good reputation with SUVs – with Sorento and Sportage – so I think we can capitalise on that with a smaller SUV,' Kia's vice-president Benny Oeyen told What Car? at the 2012 Paris motor show.
The Niro is said to come with an 'innovative' new engine, details of which have not yet been revealed. However, Kia may offer a similar petrol electric unit as shown in the Provo concept at the Geneva show back in March this year.
Kia says it will also come with several design and interior elements not normally associated with small cars. The pictures suggest this will include a one-piece interior, a rotating grip-shift gear lever and a touch-sensitive parking brake.
Although there are no plans to put the Niro into production in its current form, it is to be used to gauge customer response and shape the company's future plans for a small SUV.
More information on the Niro is expected to be revealed closer to the car's official debut in Frankfurt on 10 September.


First, thanks so much for presenting my work on The Image, Deconstructed. I'm a big fan of your blog and I'm very excited to be part of it.
The image comes from the project People of the River that I'm working on in Brazil. The photo was shot in Pantanal, one of the largest wetlands in the world. It captures a fairly rare moment of the residents of this remote fishing community frolicking in the water. The river is full of piranhas and caimans so it's quite dangerous to wade into it. In fact, piranhas ate a toddler that fell into the river not far from that spot a couple years earlier. The image captures a spontaneous and carefree moment but in this case, it's important to know the backstory.
This is part of a larger body of work, can you tell us about the project?
I've been shooting the project People of the River in the southwestern part of Brazil called Pantanal. Pantanal is one of the largest wetlands in the world. It's mostly known for its amazing animals like jaguars, hyacinth macaws, caimans (jacares), yellow anacondas or capybaras. The Pantanal ecosystem rivals the Amazon and is thought to be home to 1000 bird species, 400 fish species, 300 mammalian species, 480 reptile species, etc. The flora and fauna are well documented there. Much less is known about the people living in Pantanal today, especially so-called ribeirinhos – river people, people living on the banks of the rivers that crisscross the swamps. My project aims to fill that gap. It documents humans living in this incredibly beautiful but also very dangerous area. Jaguars are spotted around the village almost every night. The first night I was there a jaguar attacked and wounded a horse. A week later another jaguar chased after a dog and ran into a house of one of the families. The family survived and was able to escape but they had to move out of the house for a couple days. There are all kinds of snakes, insects, and animals that can kill you there. 80% of Pantanal is submerged under the water for a big part of the year and it takes 30 hours by a motorboat to get to any kind of civilization for a lot of the residents. Most of the people living there are of Indian descent; the ones I focused on are fishermen. I'm working to document their day-to-day life. The overarching theme for the project is the idea of survival in these pretty harsh conditions. Ultimately the project will have several chapters; one of them will focus on family relationships, another on the nature of the relationship between residents and animals that surround them, both wild and domesticated. I call my work in Pantanal an ethnography, in the sense that I hope to explore and document the changing culture of Pantanairos, people living in Pantanal.
I've been to Brazil and Pantanal a couple times before but I started working on this project last summer. I guess the key here is that I wanted to approach the ribeirinhos (river people) community and the project without any preconceived notions of what my "angle" should be. I had no agenda beyond the documentation. The initial part of the project was self-paid so I didn't owe anything to anyone other than myself. I tried to keep my eyes, heart and mind open. I started the project in June 2013 by spending two weeks living in a tiny and remote fishing community in the middle of Pantanal. The community is separated by 250 km of marshes and water from the nearest town. I photographed the life the way it unfolded around me there. I wanted to move past the exotic and focus on people as real human beings, people we can relate to. It takes time to reach a certain level of intimacy and I plan to go back to the community and spend more time in the area, nurturing the friendships that I was offered there. I don't think I've reached the level of intimacy in my images that I'd like to, yet. But it's a good start.
What was your motivation in working on this project?
There are a couple layers of motivation for this project.
First, I'm fascinated by rivers and people who are sustained by rivers. There's something magical about the water to me as the ultimate source of life. From a more rational perspective, when you look at the history of human kind, you notice that people have always settled by the rivers. Mesopotamia is often called the cradle of Western civilization. It developed along Tigris-Euphrates river system. Most of our large cities were established by large rivers that could sustain civilization and development. Unfortunately, you can also notice how humans and urban architecture have often turned their backs to the rivers in the last 50 years. I wanted to explore the relationship of people to water, to a river and marshes. I wanted to help bring back to the rivers some of the respect that we owe them.
Second, I wanted to immerse myself in a small community and be able to photograph it 24/7. I'm a former Detroit Free Press multimedia photojournalist. I work for the University of Michigan now. Documenting the human condition to me is the most meaningful thing I could do with my life, next to raising my two daughters and trying to be a good husband. To quote my photographic hero Eugene Richards, I try to work in the "nexus of social awareness and art". I think it's extremely important that people learn about other people, other cultures, that we recognize and appreciate the universal humanity of all people on the globe. It's extremely important that we realize that people on the other side of political borders, or on the other side of social or economic divides, are just like us. They laugh, love, take care of their kids, cry when they are hurt, want to be happy. The fear of "the other" – this ignorance and arrogance – is one of the main causes of violence and cruelty in this world. I hope to do my little part to counteract that.
The first challenge was logistics – how do you get to a tiny village (maybe 15 houses) in the tropics, in the middle of one of the largest wetlands in the world without spending a fortune. How do you find a roof over your head in this village and how do you find food to eat there? How do you charge your batteries if there's no electricity? You can't just show up, pitch a tent and start taking photos. For one, there are jaguars roaming around the houses almost every night, 3-meter-long anaconda and all kinds of other animals and insects that can kill you quite quickly. Two, people need to be given a say in whether they allow you to be there before you show up.
I was really lucky because I was offered help from the only NGO that works in Pantanal called ECOA. ECOA is doing some amazing work, helping give voice to the residents of Pantanal, helping them regain some of the rights to fishing and the ability to sustain themselves that they lost when a lot of the area around them was turned into private nature reserves. The establishment of nature reserves cut off the residents' ability to fish in the area where they have lived for generations. Andre Luiz Siqueira, the director of ECOA gave me a ride in his motor boat to the village, introduced me to the residents and helped secure a place to sleep in one of the fishermen's houses. The residents would often give me rides in their boats from one house to another, since oftentimes the houses were separated by marshes. People who had very little to eat – basically fish and rice, would always invite me to lunch if I happened to be hanging out near their house around noon. I would join my host's family for breakfasts and dinners. Access to electricity to charge my camera and laptop batteries was a big issue. But a small public school was established in the community a couple years ago and they would usually run a gas-powered generator overnight. The teachers were very gracious to let me plug my chargers there. It used to be that you only needed some small batteries for your film camera, but now in the digital world, access to electricity is crucial.
The second challenge was cultural adjustment. I traveled extensively internationally before and I'm used to being in foreign countries. I'm a Polish immigrant in the USA, for one. But the US has been home for 13 years now and I got used to being able to make plans for the day and being able to execute my plans, being able to predict what I may be able to do during a particular day. So for the first week in the village, I would wake up at 4am (there was no electricity in the house I was staying in so I would go to sleep at 8pm), lay in the darkness and plan what I wanted to shoot that day. And then 80% of my plans would fall through and I would get frustrated, because I was not able to get to where I wanted to be, the person who was supposed to give me a ride would be 3 hours late or someone who agreed to have me accompany him fishing would change his mind. I spent way too much time being frustrated and trying to cram too much stuff into a day.
Finally, I realized that I wasn't in control of my destiny there, that I was now part of the village system and that I needed to adjust to the way things happened there. Once I did that, I was able to relax and actually be much happier and at peace with myself. I let the river of life there take me where it wanted to take me rather than trying to desperately struggle against the current. Once that happened, I stopped making plans and I just let myself photograph whatever was happening around me wherever I happened to be. I slowed down and I was able to be more in the moment, enjoy the time and space the way the residents did.
Third challenge is pretty obvious. It was working to gain trust of the community. The community members have had some bad experiences with "photojournalists" in the past and they are understandably weary of outsiders with cameras. I made some friends in the village. Upon return to the US, I sent them prints and a point and shoot camera for one of the residents who is interested in photography. But I think most important is being able to go back, show them that you care and to reinforce the relationships over time.
I kind of combined that with the previous question, hope that's OK.
What issues did you mentally struggle with while working, and how did you deal with them?
I wanted to approach the community with open eyes, open mind and open heart. I didn't want to make any preconceived plans of what the story I wanted to tell would be. Too often, we tend to bend the reality to match what we think the story is. I saw a very clear example of that in the village, when one day a film crew from the Brazilian ESPN showed up. They arrived in two boats, covered in camouflage up to their teeth. They came for literally 3 hours. They wanted to shoot a program about poor, Indian Brazilians from the marshes playing soccer in the water. The whole thing was ridiculous. The film crew's director staged the whole thing. They made kids kick the ball in the middle of a flooded area, upsetting the parents who would never let their kids play there. They made the soccer players parade through the village repeatedly so they could get shots from different angles, they created some mythical team from another village that was supposed to arrive in boats for the game, told one of the residents to take off her glasses because she looked "too civilized" and not Indian enough. It was disgusting. They turned the social order of the village upside-down to achieve their narrow goals, to uphold stereotypes. People in the village are not stupid; they were upset about the whole thing. They felt powerless and used. My blood still boils when I remember that day. It's an extreme example of what I wanted to avoid. If only the film crew took their time and learned what the reality was really like, they wouldn't have alienated the residents and they would actually have got much more powerful shots that would show reality, not fiction.
It's an extreme example of what I'm hoping to avoid. I didn't want to decide what the story I would cover was before spending time in the village, observing and talking to the residents. I wanted to approach the community with an open mind, treat my notebook and camera as a tabula rasa (blank slate). It was very challenging for me because I'm a storyteller. I'm a storyteller but here I purposefully designed the project so I didn't know what the story was. I'm trained to and usually work hard to shape reality into stories, to figure out where the struggle, conflict is, who the characters are, how to make sense out of it all. But here I had this whole village universe in front of me and only two weeks to make some sense out of it. So I struggled. I photographed everything around me, talked to residents, did some video interviews. I was trying to make sense out of this place, find some common themes, but also I didn't want to narrow down the scope of my documentation quite yet. It wasn't until much later, when I got back, when I had an opportunity to look at the images, process those two weeks in the village, talk to some amazing people like professor Loret Steinberg from RIT and former National Geographic Director of Photography Tom Kennedy, that I was able to start figuring out what this project is, what the scope of this ethnographic document could be and that I absolutely have to go back there to keep working there. These images are only the beginning. The future time in Pantanal and the time away from Pantanal will together shape what comes out of this project. Pantanal and its residents face some serious challenges. I plan to be able to document these challenges and the changing world or the river people.
Now, onto the main image. Can you tell us about the moments leading up to it, and what was going through your mind when you made it?
The image was taken late afternoon in a tiny fishing community lost in the middle of Pantanal in Brazil. That particular day, a huge storm was gathering and just before it hit the village, a group of teenage boys and men in their 20s from the community jumped into the river to cool off and wash off all the dirt and sweat from the soccer games they just played. Almost every day teenage boys and men in their 20s participate in pick up soccer games in the village. That day was no exception. The scene is actually highly unusual since the river is full of piranhas and caimans (jacares) and people don't just casually hang out in the water. The whole thing lasted maybe 3 minutes and the players were out of the water.
I noticed that the guys jumped into the water and I followed them. I took a couple images and then squatted to be right next to the water surface with my camera, I wanted the river to be a big part of the image and I was actually able to frame the shot with some grass blades rising above water and the people in the back. The whole action lasted seconds only and then it was over. I was lucky I moved and thought quickly. The years of photojournalistic training kicked in at that moment.
I was excited and surprised to capture the residents directly in the water. Men and some women spend a big part of the day in boats and canoes but they rarely jump into the river. I hope there's also something spiritual about the image and that moment.
I learned that the sooner I can let go of trying to plan and to control the world around me in places like Pantanal, the better my images would be. I also experienced something probably very obvious, that the more time you can spend with people you document, the better your images will be. I learned to better follow my instincts and trust them more. I worked for newspapers for quite a few years in the past and I absolutely loved it. But newspapers, especially today, can constrain you in the way you see the world, there are certain expectations of your work and you as a photographer. In Brazil, I was able to listen to my own soul a bit more and to follow my instincts in what I photographed. It was a great experience.
Finally, I learned how thoroughly I enjoyed photographing the people in Pantanal and how much I absolutely loved being able to focus almost exclusively on still photography. I started out as a still photographer, photojournalist. It is my first passion and love. But I'm also a multimedia producer and I've spent the last several years shooting and editing video. I love the ability to give voice to my subjects that video and film offer and I'm grateful for my filmmaking skills. But it was such a pure joy to focus almost exclusively on still photography, to feel it with every part of my body that I can't quite express it in words. The People of the River ethnography will be a multimedia project. It will have a video component but photography will continue to be the dominant element of it.
What have you learned about others in the process of making images like this?
I learned that people are essentially the same no matter where you go, in terms of their desires, goals, ambitions. We are all the same. We want the best for our kids. We desire strong families and communities. We want the future generations to be better off than we are. Another thing I knew already from my previous travels, but it was re-affirmed in Pantanal is that people will take care of you and help you if you put trust in them. I trusted people there with my life. I made a couple good friends in the village. I think of them very often and I very much appreciate their friendship, generosity and kindness. I hope I will be able to reciprocate it.
When I was in Pantanal, I drank the same, mostly unfiltered river water and ate the same rice and fish every day like everybody else. I wore similar outfits to what the residents wore. I talked about my wife and kids while asking about their families. I know I stuck out like a sore thumb but in the same time, I tried to convey how much I respected the people there. I wanted to let them know that I was there to learn from them. I was grateful for everything and I tried to show it. I think humility is not a bad approach to working in a foreign country.
On a more universal note, I believe documentary photographers and journalists have a responsibility to the world and to their subjects to be truthful and honest. I think our main concern should be how to represent the reality in an honest manner. There are all these decisions we make about what the angle and focus of our story will be, how we photograph something, which moment and composition of individual moments we pick. It's complicated because even converting color images to black and white makes a huge difference in the way we respond to the images, and how they reflect the reality. I thought a lot about how much personal interpretation of the reality I'm engaging in, how much the project is the projection of my own fascinations and interests and how much I'm documenting the reality, whose reality I really capture. I think I'm in peace now with where the project is going but it was really good to struggle and think through all these issues. I guess my advice for photographers is to engage in some kind of post-modernistic thinking of deconstructing their own images, their work, motivations, feelings, the decisions they make. The Image, Deconstructed may be a good inspiration to do just that.

Recovered Property
Fragment of the seal of the NYC Mayor's Office of Emergency Management. The seal is heavily damaged and covered in dust.
7 World Trade Center was a 47-story office building just north of the Twin Towers. It housed a diversity of private tenants and government agencies, including the U.S. Secret Service and the New York City Mayor's Office of Emergency Management (OEM). OEM operated a high-tech command center on the 23rd floor.
Many of the building's occupants evacuated immediately after the North Tower was struck by hijacked Flight 11. OEM temporarily shifted its operations to a command bus located nearby. The collapse of the North Tower caused significant damage to 7 World Trade Center and ignited intense fires. Concerns that this building might also fall prompted evacuations of rescue workers from the vicinity. After burning for hours, 7 World Trade Center collapsed at 5:20 p.m., destroying the command center.
Only half of the seal of the NYC Mayor's Office of Emergency Management was located in the wreckage of building 7.

Math 2260 is an intensive integral calculus course aimed at physical science and engineering majors (though you do not have be a science or engineering major to enroll for the course). The course follows the intensive differential calculus course Math 2250, which ends with a unit on integration. The 2260 course assumes a basic knowledge of integration and teaches applications of integration, advanced techniques in integration, sequences and series leading to Taylor's theorem and Taylor approximation, and vector geometry. The course prepares students for the multivariable calculus course Math 2270.
This class is a fairly conventional lecture-based calculus class, with lots of in-class interaction. There are reading assignments every night before the corresponding lecture, with a quiz at the start of class to test your reading comprehension. During class, we'll try to minimize lecture and spend most of the time in discussion, talking about proofs and problems. There will be some in-class demonstrations based on video games. The spirit of the class is that this should be an applied calculus class, so we'll try to point out specific and realistic applications of the material we're learning as we go.
We will use the spaced repetition software called Anki to aid in memorizing course material. We'll have regular quizzes on the memorization material. Mathematica is an important part of the course, and we'll learn to use it as we go.
The first exam will be in class on Tuesday, February 28.
The exam covers all course material from the start of the course through Section 8.4. This includes the Anki decks "Math 2250 Review Deck", "Math 2250 Integration Review", "Math 2260 Chapter 6", and "Math 2250 Chapter 8". You are expected to have all the material in the Anki decks memorized (you won't need to have anything else memorized).
All the exams I've given in this class in the last few years are available below. They may not cover exactly the same material as this year's class, so material may be added or missing. There are no answer keys available, but you can use Mathematica or Wolfram|Alpha to check answers.
Extra practice problems are open in Webwork in the Chapter 8, 9, and 11 Review assignments. These do not count for course credit.
The 2260 syllabus. This includes the dates of in-class quizzes.
We will use a very wonderful and powerful program called Mathematica for a lot of demonstrations in class. Since you are enrolled in a math department class at UGA, you can get a free copy of the system to install on your own computer. I encourage you to do so!
The course will use the WebWork online homework system. The course homework is found here. Your username comes from your UGAmail address, without the @uga.edu. So if your full email address is jbfrink@uga.edu, your WebWork username is jbfrink. Your password is your 810 number, as in 810123456. (It doesn't include the trailing 0 in your 810 number.) You may encounter a browser error when you first visit the site, since our security certificate is not standard. It is ok to create an exception (in Firefox) or continue to site in Safari or Explorer. If you have trouble with this, please email help (at) math.uga.edu.
We are going to use Anki to help us memorize some required material in the course. You need to download and install the software (it runs on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iPhone/iPod/iPad, and as a web-based application).
First, download and install the Anki application itself.
To import our decks, download the files below under Anki Decks and just double-click them.
You will also probably want to experiment with Wolfram|Alpha , which is one of the truly great web resources for calculus.
The book for the class is University Calculus, 3rd Edition, by Hass/Weir/Thomas.
Here is a list of resources for in-person help with the course material. These usually start on the second week of class.
Milledge Hall Drop-In Math Lab, Monday-Thursday 9am-5pm, Friday 9am-3pm.
Miller Learning Center, Room 368, Monday-Thursday 5:30pm-8:30pm.
Creswell Tutoring Room, Tuesdays, 7-10 pm.
Russell Academic Center, Wednesdays, 7-10 pm.

The Tianyan radio telescope has received the following transmission.
f(t) = a Cos[5t] + b Cos[9t] + c Cos[19t].
at times a = x_0 = 0, x_1 = h, x_2= 2h, … , x_100 = 12 Pi. We suspect that the aliens have chosen to encode a message to the people of earth using the numbers a, b, and c. Find those numbers!
over the interval [0,12pi] for any g(t) that you pick (after all, you can always evaluate g(t) at the data points yourself, and then multiply those values by the data above). So the real question is "how can you strategically choose test functions g(t) to isolate a, b, and c?". You might consider functions of the form g(t) = Cos[K t] for various integers K. What happens if K is 5, 9, or 19? What happens if K is something else?
Bonus: There is an internet rumor that two MORE numbers are encoded in the message by functions of the form Cos[L t] and Cos[M t] for some L and M. But nobody knows L and M! Can you find them?

Interview: Jonathan Saunders
Stylist Team
Scottish fashion designer Jonathan Saunders is arguably the most influential new designer of the moment thanks to his legendary designs which fuse together hand-drawn prints and vivid colour. In the lead up to his highly anticipated London Fashion Week show, Jonathan put down his sketching pens to talk to us about his unique world.
Where do you find your inspiration?
The process is different every time. I tend to start with an idea about which colours are relevant and then research art. I have a few favourite bookstores that I love to go to. But then it may be someone that I meet while travelling that sparks off an idea for a character.
How much of your success do you credit to the colleges you studied at?
Glasgow School of Art was fantastic due to the crossfertilisation between art and design; Saint Martins was very different. With an iron rod, director of MA fashion Louise Wilson, made me identify with who I am as a designer. After all, it's our points of difference as designers that make us relevant.
How close are you to other London designers?
What is unique about London is the closeness between us. We're all confident in our own identity which minimises a competitive feeling between us. Also because we all started from nothing there's a certain camaraderie between us. We probably see each other every week.
Where do you see your career going next?
I learn something new every season which helps with the focus of a collection and the identification of my customer. Developing the other lines, such as menswear and accessories, is on the top of our agenda.
Jonathan Saunders' London Fashion Week show is at 7pm on Saturday, 17 September. Log-on to stylist.co.uk and follow @StylistMagazine for live LFW updates.

RNC CORNER BROOK 24 HOUR MEDIA REPORT – DECEMBER 5

The Salt nipper program trialed Saturday afternoon nippers for the 2018/19 season, and the result was a 75% increase in junior members, with Salt SLSC being awarded 2018/19 FNC Junior Club of the Year. The trial will continue for the 2019/20 season.
We've been researching various nipper programs across Australia, in particular from North Sydney to Noosa, to determine why various clubs schedule their nipper activity days on Saturday or Sunday. The results were very interesting and the scheduling is done for a number of reasons. One of the main reasons for Sunday nippers at metropolitan beaches was that they were unable to hold nippers on a Saturday afternoon due to overcrowding on the beaches. This is where a Sunday nipper program is appropriate for them, so they can beat the crowd and parents can find a car park.
The Kingscliff and Casuarina precinct doesn't yet have a problem with beach accessibility so we can choose a timetable that suits us. Some of the factors considered in the decision to switch to Saturdays include:
wind and beach conditions
average daily temperature
average daily UV readings
operational logistics
club training requirements
carnival participation
schedule of other summer sports
A common reaction from people can be to make generalisations based on instinct rather than fact, both positive and negative. We have tried to explain some of the reasoning used in making the decision. Most of the evidence will be factual, but some will draw on experience to predict outcomes. Note, this is currently a trial and we acknowledge that it will not suit everyone. We believe that the switch is appropriate for the club at this point in it's development.
Beach Conditions and Temperature - According to Coolangatta monitoring data from the Bureau of Meteorology, average temperature and average wind speed are similar at 10am and 3pm. The difference is that wind and temp will trend upwards from 10am, but trend down from 3pm. The net result is that we can expect conditions to improve during the nipper sessions, rather than deteriorate as we see most Sunday's. If conditions continue to improve we may extend nippers to take advantage of conditions.
Average UV Readings - We extracted UV monitoring data from the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPNSA) website to test the theory regarding Ultra Violet radiation in the afternoon versus the morning. We sampled the data at 6 dates during the last nipper season. The results were as expected - the sampled UV readings are the reverse of the morning. Currently we start nippers in low UV (2.8 avg) and finish in very high UV (9.2 avg), the proposed Saturday nippers will start in high UV (7.9 avg) and progress through to moderate UV (4.3 avg). The difference being that if we wish to extend nippers to take advantage of good conditions, the UV will be dropping into the low range and we won't be putting the kids out in the extreme UV time of the day, like we do now. See table 1.1 for more data
Operational Logistics - The nipper program is always dependent on the weather and no one likes to wake up the family early on Sunday morning and then find out that nippers is cancelled. With nippers on Saturday we can monitor the weather during the day and make the call closer to start time. We also have the option to delay the start or reschedule to Sunday morning.
Club Training - We can utilise Sunday morning as a training day for new bronze trainees. Most often it's the new nipper parents who wish to get more involved in their kids training and start the bronze course. This training has often clashed with nipper days and created problem for families trying to juggle their commitments.
Carnival Participation - Our nipper activity days will not clash with carnival days. We can hold nippers as usual and then send our squad to the carnival the next day. This frees-up our key personnel to attend both events.
Membership Development - Saturday Nippers can create a more cohesive social structure. When nipper activities are complete for the day, there's no need to rush off. Stay for a while and enjoy a refreshment at the new clubhouse which will be able to serve all members. Perhaps the kids will want an early dinner. The kids can play while you relax on the deck with a cold drink.
Product differentiation - We are a young club located in between 2 very mature clubs who have much history and well-established communities to draw their membership from. We can take advantage of our progressive approach and achieve changes that may not otherwise be possible at clubs tied to a sense of nostalgia. By taking the initiative, we can offer something different to the saturated local lifesaving market.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ public/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

but it didn't work for me. To check whether the .htaccess file is working, I removed all codes from file however my project is still working fine with index.php. That means my project is working without .htaccess file? then how can I remove index.php with the help of .htaccess file?
I am using linux server.

A: Some of my URLs were crawled by Google with "index.php". I used the code below to redirect "bad" URLs to correct once, without index.php.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET.*index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*?)index\.php/*(.*) /$1$2 [R=301,NE,L]

A: Remove the index.php from url: hope it helps you.
1) Rename the server.php file with index.php, which is in your project root directory.
2) And Copy the .htaccess file from public folder and paste it root directory.
