For Iran, Enriching Uranium Only Gets Easier - William J. Broad (New York Times)
Uranium enrichment is a tricky process that accelerates as it moves ahead. "The higher the concentration, the easier it gets," said Houston G. Wood III, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of Virginia who specializes in nuclear enrichment.
On Feb. 7, Iran announced it would begin enriching its stockpiled uranium to 20% from 4%, which nuclear experts said was actually a fairly easy step - not at all as demanding and time-consuming as raising the level to 4% from 0.7%.
Turkey Should Pause Before a Mirror - Stephen Kinzer (Guardian-UK)
A committee of the U.S. Congress voted last week to brand as genocide the 1915 slaughter of Armenians by Ottoman Turks.
Turkey suffers from a creeping image deterioration in Washington. Some feel that Turkey has become too close to Iran, and resent the vigor of Turkey's opposition to sanctions on the Iranian regime - especially important since Turkey holds a rotating seat on the UN Security Council.
These doubts might not have become as powerful if Israel, Turkey's old friend, had come to its rescue with lobbying help on Capitol Hill, as it has in the past.
But Turkish leaders have sharpened their criticism of Israel lately, and the Israelis, seeking to show that they too have cards to play in this game, did not rush to help Turkey this time.

Rachel Corrie Damage Suit Trial Begins - Dan Izenberg (Jerusalem Post)
The hearing of witnesses in the civil suit filed by the family of Rachel Corrie - a member of the pro-Palestinian International Solidarity Movement (ISM) who was killed trying to block an IDF bulldozer in 2003 - is due to begin in Haifa District Court on March 10.
The IDF Southern Command investigated the incident and closed the file without taking measures against any of the soldiers involved.
The state maintained that Corrie had been 100% responsible for the accident and that she had deliberately placed herself in danger.

Dozens of Arab Students in U.S. Visa Fraud - Gillian Flaccus (AP)
Eamonn Higgins, 46, was charged Monday with operating a ring of illegal test-takers who helped dozens of Middle Eastern nationals obtain U.S. student visas by passing various proficiency and college-placement exams for them, federal authorities said.
Over a seven-year period, Higgins collected tens of thousands of dollars from foreign students from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Kuwait, Turkey and Qatar before he or his accomplices took their exams at ten southern California community colleges and universities using doctored IDs.
Higgins may have worked with hundreds of foreign students, although authorities have only been able to definitively identify 119.
Trafigura, Vitol Stopping Iran Gasoline Sales as U.S. Sanctions Loom - Simon Webb and Luke Pachymuthu
Oil trading firms Trafigura, based in Amsterdam, and Vitol, based in Switzerland, are stopping gasoline sales to Iran, industry sources said on Monday, joining BP, Glencore and Reliance Industries which have halted sales under threat of U.S. sanctions. Analysts say Iran would always find traders to sell it fuel, but the smaller list of suppliers means Tehran would have to pay higher prices. "Political pressure from the United States and its European allies is starting to make an impact and deter fuel trading with Iran," said IHS Global Insight Middle East energy analyst Samuel Ciszuk.

Congress Hot to Trot on Iran Sanctions - Josh Rogin
As the Obama administration pursues new multilateral Iran sanctions at the UN, Congress is getting ready to move forward with its own sanctions bill, which the administration is still not happy with. A senior Senate aide close to the process said the House and Senate will soon move to conference on resolving the two versions of the Iran sanctions legislation, one led by Rep. Howard Berman (D-CA), and the other sponsored by Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT). The State Department had been negotiating with key senators over Dodd's bill, seeking an exemption for any countries they determine to be "cooperating" with the U.S. on the sanctions regime.
Several congressional aides said Friday that their bosses were getting impatient with the ever-slipping deadline for UN action and that a large exemption that includes Russia and China would not fly on Capitol Hill. The administration had pledged to wrap up at the UN in February during the French rotating presidency, then that slipped to March, and now lawmakers are being told April. (Foreign Policy)
Experts Skeptical of Indirect Peace Talks - Janine Zacharia
U.S. special envoy George Mitchell announced Monday that Israel and the Palestinians had agreed to indirect talks, though he acknowledged that the structure and scope of the talks had not yet been agreed upon. "It's hardly a cause for celebration that after 17 years of direct official talks we are regressing to proximity talks," said Yossi Alpher, former director of the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies at Tel Aviv University.
"Israelis and Palestinians aren't ready for direct talks; their positions are too far apart," said Aaron David Miller, a former Middle East negotiator now at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars. Daniel Kurtzer, a former U.S. mediator and ambassador to Israel and Egypt, said it's "not understandable why we would now have them sit in separate rooms and move between them." (Washington Post)
U.S.: Annapolis Understandings Are Non-Binding - Barak Ravid, Akiva Eldar and Avi Issacharoff
In a Jerusalem meeting with Quartet envoys on Friday, U.S. special envoy for the Middle East George Mitchell's deputy, David Hale, said the negotiations after Annapolis and the understandings reached by Tzipi Livni and Ahmed Qureia, as well as Ehud Olmert and Mahmoud Abbas, would not be binding. The talks will be based on agreements signed by Israel and the Palestinian Authority, including the Roadmap. Abbas never responded to Olmert's offer, but the Palestinians insisted that the negotiations resume from where they stopped during Olmert's term as prime minister. The U.S. apparently accepted Israel's position, which was to ignore everything that was not signed as part of an agreement.
The talks will also be based on the Obama administration's two statements from the past year: President Obama's speech to the UN, which described the goal of a secure, Jewish state in Israel alongside a viable, independent Palestine; and Secretary of State Clinton's statement regarding a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders with territory exchanges, combined with Israel's desire for a secure Jewish state that includes "recent developments," meaning the settlement blocs. (Ha'aretz)
State Department: New West Bank Homes Don't Violate Freeze
The U.S. said on Monday that Israel's approval of 112 new homes in Beitar Illit, adjacent to the "green line" in the West Bank, did not violate a limited Israeli settlement freeze. "On the one hand, it does not violate the moratorium that the Israelis previously announced. On the other hand, this is the kind of thing that both sides have to be cautious about as we move ahead with these parallel talks," said U.S. State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. Under heavy U.S. pressure, Israel agreed in November to restrict building in the West Bank. The government said at the time that exceptions could be allowed. (Ha'aretz)
See also Exception to Freeze Approved for Infrastructure, Safety Reasons - Tovah Lazaroff
Beitar Illit is the third-largest Jewish city in the West Bank, with a population of 36,000. Israel has assumed that it will retain Beitar Illit in any final status-agreement with the Palestinians. On Monday, the Defense Ministry explained that initial approval for the 112 apartment units had been granted by former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert as part of a larger project of close to 300 units. Contractors had received all the permits necessary for the units and had laid the foundations for all but 112 units when the moratorium was announced. A source explained that it was impossible to lay infrastructure for the larger project without construction of these 112 units. In addition, the site, as it is now, posed a safety hazard to people in the area. (Jerusalem Post)
Fayyad's Intifada - Alex Fishman
Israel had issued VIP cards to about 300 Palestinian elected officials and heads of security arms which enable them to quickly pass through IDF roadblocks in the West Bank. However, Israel recently removed 100 names from the VIP list - all of them members of the Fatah's central committee who took part in the protests in Bil'in. Palestinian officials are also shunning economic ties with Israel, as seen in the discussion on eliminating Palestinian workers at industrial zones in the settlements.
On the whole, the Abbas-Fayyad duo is attempting to erase the last remnants of the Oslo Accords as they press the Americans to prevent Israel from engaging in "hot pursuits" within the West Bank. All these moves, which are part of what is known as "Salam Fayyad's White Intifada," are directed at defeating Hamas in the upcoming local elections in the West Bank on July 17. Hamas has already announced that it will not take part in the elections.
Indirect negotiations are slated to be launched this week between Israel and the Palestinians. However, before the local elections in the West Bank, nothing will come out of these contacts. The Palestinians enter these talks with the aim of discussing the core issues, so that they can showcase them ahead of the elections. Israel views these talks merely as a stage en route to direct talks which will be launched - according to Mitchell's plan - in four months. Meanwhile, the Americans want to end these talks with at least a declaration on final-status borders. What we have here are three parallel lines that do not meet. The PA cannot show up at the elections with a record of concessions on the national front. It has a clear interest in creating a crisis in order to prompt a warm public embrace and reach the elections with an image of strength. (Ynet News)
Are Iran's Oil Reserves Its Trump Card? - Jad Mouawad
Iran holds the world's second-biggest oil and gas reserves and supplies about 4.5% of the world's oil production. Iran may be counting on China to shield it against international sanctions that could really hurt, but some analysts believe that would be expecting too much. "The Iranians are overconfident in the Chinese reliance on them," said Jon Alterman of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Meanwhile, Erica S. Downs of the Brookings Institution says it is unclear how much money the Chinese have spent so far in Iran's energy sector. "The Iranians aren't getting all they were hoping for from China," she said.
The global recession isn't helping. Iran needs oil prices to stay above $90 a barrel to balance its budget, according to PFC Energy, a consulting firm. Also, unlike a few years ago when the world's oil system could barely keep up with growing demand, there now is ample spare capacity, much of it in Saudi Arabia. Cliff Kupchan, a former State Department official and now a director at the New York consulting firm Eurasia Group, said this meant that Iran no longer held a "trump card" when it comes to oil.

Facing Iran: Lessons Learned Since Iraq's 1991 Missile Attack on Israel - Moshe Arens (Institute for Contemporary Affairs-Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs)
The Iranians learned a great deal from the destruction of Iraq's Osirak reactor by the Israel Air Force in 1981. The Osirak reactor was the key element in the Iraqi nuclear program: a single target which, when it was destroyed, set that program back very substantially. The Iranians saw this and they dispersed their nuclear program. Much of it is deep underground. There is no single target which, if destroyed, would substantially set back the Iranian nuclear program.
When I came to Washington as Israel's ambassador in 1982, the atmosphere was one of hostility and there was talk of imposing sanctions against Israel as a reaction to its unilateral action against the Osirak reactor. Yet after a few years the view in Washington changed completely. It is difficult to envision the Americans undertaking Operation Desert Storm in the Gulf in 1991 if the Iraqi nuclear program had continued beyond 1981 and had not been so seriously set back by the Israeli action.
Some say that while the missiles Israel faces are relatively cheap weapons, we are launching a very expensive missile interceptor against it, which does not seem very wise at first sight. However, the damage that might be caused by the incoming missile may far exceed the cost of the missile interceptor.
Israel's missile interceptor system poses a dilemma to anybody who decides to launch missiles against Israel, especially a missile that has a nuclear warhead. The dilemma is that the missile may very well be intercepted and thus expose the launching of a nuclear missile, even if it didn't reach its target, which could bring about the response that could be expected for committing this deed.
At the start of the Gulf War, the Americans said they expected that within 48 hours the U.S. Air Force would eliminate the missile launch capability of the Iraqis. If they did not succeed, Israel would be free to take whatever action it considered appropriate. Although there was intensive aerial activity directed at hitting the Scud launchers, not a single Scud launcher was hit or immobilized during the Gulf War. Furthermore, the U.S.-made Patriot missiles in Israel did not succeed in intercepting a single Scud missile.
Prof. Moshe Arens was Israel's defense minister during the 1991 war with Iraq.

SHINZO Abe's plans to revive Japan suffered their first real setback yesterday as growth in the world's third-biggest economy faltered.
The Japanese Prime Minister has embarked on a bold strategy to shake Japan out of a two-decade battle against deflation with a major public investment programme and money-printing from the Bank of Japan to hit a new 2 per cent inflation target.
But official figures showed Japan's economy managed growth of just 0.6 per cent between April and June - slower than the previous quarter and below expectations. First-quarter growth was also revised lower and debt has passed the quadrillion - thousand trillion - yen (£6.7trn) mark as the nation seeks a strong enough recovery to begin tackling its borrowing burden, which is about 250 per cent of GDP.
The figures showed the strongest contribution to growth coming from public spending and exports as a much weaker yen boosts trading conditions and the value of overseas profits for Japan's biggest companies such as Toyota and Honda. But business investment spending slipped back 0.1 per cent over the quarter, the sixth successive quarter of decline, which raises doubts over the recovery's foundations.
Mr Abe also faces a fight to push through structural reforms to an overly bureaucratic economy - the so-called "third arrow" of his programme - through encouraging foreign investment, and boosting immigration to counter Japan's ageing population.
Rob Wood, the chief UK economist at Berenberg, said: "If this is going to turn into something more lasting, then Abe needs to encourage companies to put their massive cash piles to work by deregulating the economy and improving the prospects for future growth. The economy needs serious structural reform because of the population issues, and the signs are it is not prepared for that."
Mr Abe wants to double the amount of direct investment in Japan by foreign companies and open up trade, but he has pledged to protect the country's heavily subsidised farming industry from which his Liberal Democratic Party draws strong support. He meanwhile faces a tricky decision over whether to go ahead with his planned rises in VAT next year to boost tax revenues, which could impact the recovery.
"With consumption the backbone of recent growth, that could pose challenges for Japan. Enacting the tax rise would damage growth, so discussions about whether to cancel the VAT increase have already started. But failure to enact the change could put into doubt the Prime Minister's commitment to making the necessary painful reforms," Mr Wood added.
The Bank of Japan's governor Haruhiko Kuroda has said the tax increases are needed, and would not hurt the economy. However, Mr Abe is thought to be considering targeted tax-rate cuts, as well as a cut in corporate tax rates to boost business investment.

Amongst the most frequent electrical wiring queries is regarding how to wire a change. Even though working with switches at your house is sort of effortless, wiring one might not be that easy for everybody. An ON-OFF switch is actually quite simple to wire. You will find several types of switches, but for this instance, let us say that you are setting up a single-pole toggle switch, an exceedingly common change (as well as simplest).
You will discover three hues of wires inside of a typical single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and environmentally friendly. Splice the black wire in two and hook up them to the terminal screws - one on top as well as other over the base screw with the switch. The white wire serves being a source of uninterrupted electrical power and it is commonly related to a light-weight colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Connect the green wire on the ground screw within your switch.
These actions would typically be adequate to produce a typical change perform without a challenge. Then again, should you usually are not self-assured that you can accomplish the task correctly and safely and securely you better permit the professionals do it rather. Just after all, there's a cause why this undertaking is without doubt one of the most common electrical wiring thoughts questioned by a lot of people.
For a few explanation, the way to wire a ceiling fan can be considered one of one of the most frequent electrical wiring concerns. To simplify this undertaking, you should utilize a single change for just a single ceiling fan. To wire the supporter, it is only a matter of connecting the black wire in the ceiling fan to the black wire in the swap. When there is a lightweight, the blue wire really should be related into the black wire of your switch at the same time.
You'll find good reasons why these are typically the most usually requested electrical wiring questions. One, a lot of imagine it is really simple to accomplish, and two, these are definitely the popular electrical jobs at your house. But then you should not place your protection at risk within your target to save cash. The stakes could even be much better if you endeavor to spend less and do an electrical wiring position with out sufficient knowledge or encounter.

"Operation Finale" fails to captivate to the end
Carl Kozlowski Aug. 29, 2018
Angelus News
As summer winds down and the supply of mega-budget blockbusters trickles out, Hollywood often releases some of its most blasé duds of the year over the Labor Day weekend. This weekend's new release, "Operation Finale," offers a mix of good and bad qualities by presenting a strongly acted and good-looking historical thriller that unfortunately runs out of thills long before its ending.
Recounting the tale of how a team of undercover Israeli Jewish operatives banded together in 1960 to capture and extract the vile Nazi leader Adolf Eichmann from his new life-in-disguise in Argentina, "Finale" stars Oscar-winning actor Ben Kingsley as the deceptively stoic "architect of the Final Solution."
Leading the charge against him is Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron in the newest "Star Wars" movies) as Peter Malkin, who, we learn in a series of devastatingly effective flashbacks, lost his wife and children to heartless Nazi slaughter.
Isaac has been receiving intel on the search for Eichmann from anti-Nazi compatriots tracking Eichmann and other former Nazis in Argentina, where many of the evil regime fled after the war. A young woman named Sylvia (Haley Lu Richardson) flirts her way into a couple of dates with a handsome boy named Klaus Eichmann (Joe Alwyn), who claims his father died back in Germany and Adolf, a family friend, has taken him in.
When Klaus stupidly decides taking Sylvia to a secret Nazi meeting would make for a great date night, she turns out to be a spy and passes word through her own father to the Israeli Mossad special forces unit. The Mossad leaders decide that it would be more worthwhile to have Adolf testify and spell out the Nazi atrocities on worldwide television rather than merely assassinate him, so Malkin is enlisted to lead the mission.
For the first half of the film, director Chris Weitz ("American Pie," "A Better Life") keeps things moving with some real zip and pizzazz, aided greatly by a bouncy and inventive score by Alexandre Desplat. Yet after cranking up the tension throughout the first hour, once Adolf Eichmann is captured, the film completely runs out of steam.
The reason is that the fearless team finds that the Nazi-friendly Argentine government has gotten wind of their plot and ensured that the next safe flight out of the country won't be available for ten days. Thus begins the need for them all to hide out with Eichmann, and engage in a subtle battle of manipulation as they try to make him sign a paper agreeing to leave the country with them. Eichmann tries to play on Melvin's sympathies due to the fact that, despite being a monster, he's a devoted family man.
This might still sound intriguing, but the unfortunate fact is that the hideout scenes are dramatically inert to a stunning degree. When the mood-lifting high point of the second hour is a comical scene of the team watching Eichmann taking a dump — proving they really won't let him out of their sights — and wincing at the gas he's producing, something has gone off the rails.
On the other hand, there are moments scattered throughout the entire movie that are unusually thoughtful for a Hollywood summer release. Melvin's flashbacks slowly build up to a devastating impact, and in one strong scene, he provides extra care and compassion for the withering Eichmann, even though he may be getting played psychologically.
A brief but big problem lies in the way the film needlessly drops in a couple of quick anti-Catholic lines. It is made clear that Klaus Eichmann, the son of Adolf who takes the Catholic Sylvia to a secret Nazi meeting, also considers himself Catholic in a matter-of-fact statement.
Worse, when the Nazi meeting's leader asks how his followers should handle the Jews in Argentina, it's a Catholic priest who pumps his fist in the air the fastest and yells out "Soap!" — leading the rest in attendance in a vile call for Jews to be killed and turned into soap. These are brief moments, but disconcerting nonetheless.
World War II history buffs may like this more than I did, as the filmmakers and cast clearly had noble intentions. But considering how utterly slow and anticlimactic the film becomes in its final hour, it's impossible for me to justify saying the film is worth paying today's ticket prices. I was praying for the finale of "Operation Finale" long before it was over, and chances are so will you.
Baby you're a rich man
24 years after the original, 'Toy Story 4' unites classic and new


Happy New Year's Day From Tbilisi, Georgia!
Yup, I'm starting 2019 in this little country that sits on the continental border of Europe and Asia and is surrounded by Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, and the Black Sea!
After Michael and I's Mediterranean cruise, I had three days to blog about our adventures and be blog up-to-date ready for my solo trip here during the second week of my Christmas break.
Because Michael and I work at different schools, and our schools started the 2018/2019 year on different dates, our two week Christmas break didn't start at the same time. Michael's Christmas break started a week before mine. So he and a buddy went to Georgia for a week. Michael returned to Qatar, we cruised the Mediterranean together, and now he is back to work and it is my turn to check out this county!
But this blog isn't about Tbilisi…this blog is a reflection of 2018's year of travel!
Shout out to blogger My Dusty Flip-Flops because it was her 2018 Travel Review blog that inspired this blog!
I had a day in Lisbon, Portugal!
Summer break over, it was back to Doha and routine! Until December – Christmas Break – and we were on another travel adventure!
…..bringing us back to Doha on the 29th of December!
It feels a bit narcissistic – posting so many selfies of us – but I do so because I love my husband so much – and we just travel so well together! Travel tests a marriage – because all of what I post is generally the happy stuff. But the jet lag, airport disasters, long layovers, long flights, getting lost in strange cities, getting lost in strange cities on an unfamiliar metro or bus system….are also part of travel! Just when we think we've covered every travel basic to avoid any bumps – something else happens!!!
As well, this reflection of our travels during the 2018 year shows me my growth as a traveler….how I am more settled, able to absorb and be more in the present moment rather than overwhelmed by so much newness and unfamiliarity around me. Basically, I'm becoming a better traveler!
This blog wouldn't be complete if I didn't mention gratitude. To be able to see the world…experience different cultures, foods, traditions, beliefs….to walk into the unknown and take it all in…..
Thank you, those who take the time to check out my blog….our adventures…..because I just love sharing my pictures, my joy, my love, my enthusiasm for life!!!!!
Thanks so much for keeping my wordpress reader such a joyous place! I always find your posts, interesting, uplifting and fun and I look forward to reading more in 2019 – Happy New Year to you!!!!

When nomads settled down in cities at the beginning of civilization, it was a turning point for the way humans would live. A settled life meant agriculture, which meant excess grain, and that gave rise to trading and exchange and eventually seals and currency. Staying in one place in cities, it also implied construction and storage. This is where the use of mud came into existence, with the production of bricks and storage vessels.
These evidences have been found in excavations at Harappa and Mohenjo Daro and many other ancient cities of Indus Valley Civilization, which existed about 5000 years ago. Thousands of years after the Indus Valley Civilization's decline in around 1700B.C, the land has seen innumerable kingdoms, wars, industries and cultures, but history remains at a standstill at the excavations of those ancient cities, the origins of our modern lives. The gold and beaded jewelry, terracotta toys and bronze figurines, seals with symbols found at the sites reflect the objects we use till this day. One such object, unchanged through millennia is the earthen pot, a ubiquitous entity seen all over the country. In the small village of Gundiyali (Mandvi Taluka, Bhuj, Gujarat, India), for generations, craftsmen have been making earthen pots (matka) with the same shapes and designs as those seen in Harappan excavations.
Gundiyali is essentially a potters' village, with skilled craftsmen like Ali Mohammad whose forefathers migrated here from Sindh (Pakistan) a few hundred years back. An earthen pot is a very simple design, but making it requires a set of skills and material, just as any other craft. The potters are so particular about the raw material, that they get mud from a specific 5 acre area, some 45 kmfrom the village. To make the mud finer, they grind and sieve it. Then they put the mud in water for 2-3 days and it becomes soft enough to be given any desired shape. This soft clay is shaped into a pot on a potter's wheel and left to dry in shade. After a while, it is cleaned and put in the sun to dry and then baked in a furnace, powered by simple and locally available fuels of dry wood and cow dung.
Once out of the furnace, the pots resemble ancient Painted Grey-ware pottery and the patterns that are painted on them also follow a similar aesthetic language. This human need for adornment and decoration is timeless. The pots of Gundiyali get their red colour from Geru, a type of soil (ocher/ umber), and the black and white dots and stripes are also made with natural material. The terracotta pots of Gundiyali are distinct from the ones we may see elsewhere, because of their smooth finish which is a result of repeated cleaning at every stage of the process of their making.
Apart from matkas, which sell the most in the summer, the potters also make diyas (earthen lamps) during Diwali, gullak (coin banks), cups, plates and glasses.
The earthen pot is a living testimony of the constancy of good design. However evolved a civilization may become; a design that is good and optimum does not need any refinement. This simple product pleases all the senses with its beautiful rounded form, the smell of rain and the taste of cool water quenching a dry throat in the hot summer, it is one of the most beautiful inventions our ancestors have left us as a legacy.

My name is Iris Nevins and I am software engineer and the founder of Organeyez.
I started this blog back in college, which means that it has transformed many times over the last 4 years. I used to write about things like hair and race, then I dabbled in writing about politics, then I started writing about my work as a teacher. Some writings I have taken down, and some I have yet to complete. But here's a run through of what I've been up to lately.
In 2016 I left my job as a teacher and my activism work to pursue a career in technology. I spent 4 months in a software engineering fellowship bootcamp and then 2 months job hunting before I landed a role at Mailchimp.
Shortly after joining Mailchimp I started a company called Organeyez, which aims to create tools and content that helps activists and social justice movements be more effective. Founding Organeyez has been a long time coming. Back in 2015 I had co-founded Black Lives Matter Alliance Broward and my time there led me to realize that social justice organizations needed help with being effective. Initially I thought I'd learn to code so that I could build software for activists. But the mission became even greater. With Organeyez, I aim to not only build tools but research the various strategies that make activists effective and disseminate this information to activists everywhere. We launched our podcast and social media platforms in August 2018 and have multiple projects in the works for 2019.
My other hobby is supporting and encouraging those who aspire to transition into technology careers. If you want to make this journey and need advice, direction, or encouragement–feel free to schedule a meeting with me here.
I love your writing!! Thanks so much for sharing.

Egon and Márta Rácz
Egon Rácz, 1956er (France - U.S.) and Márta Rácz (née Polyányi), 1956er
Egon Rácz was born in July of 1931 in Szeged and Márta was born on April 29, 1936 in Budapest. Egon grew up on a remote farm (tanya) outside the Southern city of Szeged and his father was a military officer who spent 7 years in a Sziberian POW camp after WWI. Life was full of challenges living on the remote farm, but Egon ended up getting a technical degree in the chemical field. He got a job in a top-secret factory in Székesfehérvár that produced chemical and other weapons for the Hungarian military. Márta's mother ran the canteen at the same factory. Her father was a military officer and her mother ran a number of small businesses.
Egon and Márta met at the factory in Székesfehérvár where Márta also worked as a draftswoman. Not much happened at the factory in 1956 because the city quartered a large number of Soviet troops and no one wanted to provoke them. They fled Hungary on foot via Yugoslavia where the 'welcome' was not the same as in Austria and it was more difficult to get to the U.S. They ended up being sent to Paris, France, where they stayed for 12 years.
After their time in France, they were able to emigrate to the U.S. Egon first got work in a control lab in Long Island and later they moved to Boston. They and their daughter Livia are quite active in the Hungarian community in Boston.

The salacious true story of Pam and Tommy will blow your mind
It was the rock-and-roll relationship that defined rock-and-roll relationships, kick-started the celebrity sex tape industry, and kept us all engrossed.
When Baywatch beauty Pamela Anderson married Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee 96 hours after their first date little did we all know that celebrity culture was about to change forever.
Fast forward 16 years and the sex tape scandal has enticed a whole new generation of fans thanks to the impending Pam & Tommy miniseries with Lily James and Sebastian Stan as the couple.
Ahead of the 2022 release, here's a look back at how the real story of Pam & Tommy played out:
Their first meeting was never going to be normal and there were clearly fireworks from the outset when they crossed paths at the Sanctuary Club in Hollywood on New Year's Eve 1994 which she part-owned.
Intriguingly, it was Pam who initiated their first meeting when she sent him over a shot of liquor and it's safe to say that she got his attention.
'He came up and licked my face,' Pamela divulged to Movieline in 1995 adding, 'I thought he was a cool, friendly, nice guy, I gave him my number.' For the record, Tommy admitted being high on ecstasy that night in the Mötley Crüe memoir The Dirt.

First hiccup
Despite handing him her digits Pamela who was then 28 was initially put off by her future hubby after he bombarded her with calls. She eventually succumbed to his charms however and left a message on his phone.
As reported by the New York Post, a clearly excitable Tommy splurged on $400 worth of sex toys but when they finally connected by phone she told him she was leaving town to go to Cancun for a photoshoot.
According to the actress, his reply was 'You're going without me?' which led her to beg him not to follow her and he rang off saying 'Okay, see you later' of which he said: 'I thought was a weird way for the conversation to end.'
You can probably guess where this is going. Following the phone call, Tommy flew to Mexico and tracked her down at the Ritz Carlton.
By all accounts, the romantic gesture worked and they spent the night drinking at Senor Frogs before winding up together.

And the bride wore... a bikini. Four days after that fateful night Pamela and Tommy exchanged vows on the beach on the day before Valentine's day that year. Instead of a conventional wedding ring Pamela had her new husband's name tattoed around her ring finger.
According to the news site, Tommy also marked the day with some new ink on his fingers and ahem, other appendages and the pair apparently bonded over a shared love of kinky sex games.
The first heartache
The newlyweds suffered through their first taste of heartache when Pamela suffered a miscarriage that year. They would later go on to have two sons, Brandon Thomas who was born in 1996, and Dylan Jagger who came along a year later.
The first scandal
Racy polaroids of the couple landed them in the spotlight when they somehow wound up in the French and Duch edition of Penthouse magazine.
Pamela was able to laugh them off and as per the post said later that year: 'Those were good shots. When I saw the first polaroid, I was like "whoa baby, we should frame this."
The sex tape
Pamela was less happy when their infamous honeymoon sex tape surfaced online after it was stolen from their Malibu home by electrician Rand Gauthier who will be played by Seth Rogan in the forthcoming miniseries.
In fact, it's fair to say that the actress was devasted. She launched a $10 million lawsuit against the electrician and those responsible for showing the tape but there was no stopping it from being seen around the world after being uploaded to the internet by pornographer Seth Warshavsky through his company IEC.
Pamela later found herself caught up in a second sex tape after footage of her and Poison singer Brett Michaels getting it on was leaked in 2005. The relationship predates her marriage to Tommy.
Pamela and Tommy eventually settled with IEC over the web version of their tape reportedly for a seven-figure payout but that was just the beginning of their legal concerns.
The company subsequently launched a VHS version for $15 which eventually became the porn title in history. Pamela and Tommy went back to court with IEC and eventually won their case receiving a $1.5 million judgment from the company.

Signs of trouble
While the sex tape scandal unfolded, the couple's whirlwind romance had begun to sour. As early as 1995 rumours began swirling that there were problems in their relationship while she filmed Barbed Wire. Pamela was forced to step in and deny his controlling behaviour on set.
Family breakdown
When their second son was born Tommy confessed that he felt ousted in Pam's affections and later told Rolling Stone: 'When Dylan was born I dropped down to number three. Now I was full-on nonexistent. And I couldn't deal with that.'
For her part, Pamela took over the majority of the childcare and eventually sent her sons to boarding school in Canada where she grew up.
First public dispute
In 1998, the situation took a dark turn when the police were called to their home over a domestic dispute. He allegedly kicked her while she was holding Dylan and was left with bruises and a torn fingernail.
In his version of events, he remembers delivering 'a swift, slippered boot to the ass.' He ultimately pleaded no contest to spousal abuse and was sentenced to six months in jail.

Following the incident, Pamela filed for divorce but told reporters at the courthouse that she was proud of Tommy for owning up to what had happened.
'I'm very proud of Tommy. I'm happy he took responsibility for this. And I think it's the first step towards healing,' she said at the time. Photographer Marilyn Minter later claimed that she told her that she had ended the marriage because of Tommy's drinking.
The reconciliation
Despite going their separate ways Pamela and Tommy retained their magnetic attraction for one another and Pamela confessed that they regularly hooked up.
In 2003 she confessed that she had contracted hepatitis C from sharing infected tattoo needles with Tommy but even that wasn't enough to cut her off him and in 2008 after her marriage to Kid Rock crumbled they reignited their relationship.
'We've only given it a try 800 times - 801 here we go,' he told Rolling Stone adding that Pamela and the boys had moved back in with him. Their reunion was short-lived however and two years later they called it quits for good.

How things stand
In the intervening years, the former couple's homelife has continued to make headlines most notably in 2018 when Brandon punched his dad in the face knocking him out.
A the time Pamela posted to her website: 'alcoholism is the devil' and added that Brandon 'punched him in the nose for all of us who he has hurt.'
In 2019 Tommy married comedian Brittany Furlan, his fourth marriage after Elaine Starchuk, Heather Locklear whom he divorced in 1993 and Pamela.
Pamela is on her fifth marriage, this time to handyman Dan Hayhurst, but the marriage hit the spotlight for all the wrong reasons after his ex Carey who had been living with him claimed that Pamela had stolen him away and branded her a homewrecker.
Before Dan, Pamela was married to Rick Salomon twice, Kid Rock and Tommy.

Leaving the house with toddlers is a challenge. There is the clothes and shoes debate, which and how many accessories (toys, dolls, strollers, etc.) they can bring, and, of course, the requisite packing of the snacks. As parents of toddlers know, the moment they leave the house, toddlers are hungry. Starving, in fact. This scientifically proven,* magically enabled fact extends further, making food taste better outside the kitchen, preferably on the way to or home from the park.
Exasperated joking aside, snacking can have a serious, long-term impact on your child's health. Establishing healthy snacking habits at a young age can have profound and lasting effects, long after the magic of snacking-on-the-go dissipates.
Make snacks that are both dense and varied in nutrition; this way snacking not only adds to your child's nutrient intake but also crowds out the fattier, sweeter, nutrient-deficient foods. Check out the list at the bottom for some ideas.
Like all habits, snacking can be challenging to change, for both kids and adults. Saying no to constant and unhealthy snack choices, as well as buying and preparing more healthful snacks may not be easy at first. But the benefits go beyond your kid's health today to help ensure a whole lifetime of wellness.
* Not scientific at all and based entirely on anecdotal evidence. Still true, though.
