Ashdod: Beach segregation angers secular bathers
Ashdod residents say municipality closed stretch of beach to the public to shield religious bathers from immodest co-ed beachgoers
Neri Brenner|Published: 08.15.12 , 08:04
A stretch of beach in Ashdod has become a bone of contention between residents of the southern port city in recent weeks after the municipality chose to shut it down, seemingly in order to shield religious bathers from secular ones.
Like most Israeli cities located on the shore of the Mediterranean, Ashdod has a sex segregated beach that caters to religious bathers. But recently a new fence has been installed just 200 meters south of the walled-off area, effectively creating a buffer zone between the restricted beach and the co-ed waterfront frequented by the secular public.

Signs warn beachgoers that the area was closed to the public at the order of the Ashdod Court of Justice.
While the northern boundary of the religious beach remains without such a "safety zone," municipality workers often ask secular bathers to avoid sitting close to the fence.

"There isn't a law in the world that could allow for a public beach to be shut down, and we're fighting against this illegal measure," said Elizabeth Kadosh, 26, an Ashdod resident. "This religious coercion bothers me. If they would have expanded the beach because it was overcrowded, it wouldn't have bothered me. But this measure is a provocation."
Liat, another resident, said that secular residents shouldn't be penalized for the religious sector's lifestyle.
"I have no problem with the fact that the religious residents have their own beach," she said. "What bothers me is that they are trying to take over a larger strip of beach only because they cannot control their urges and keep peeking at us."
'Buffer zone helps us stay pious'
The religious bathers, on the other hand, stress that the buffer zone is meant to protect the privacy to which they are entitled.
"The additional separation is meant to make it impossible to recognize who is bathing on the beach," said Osnat Uziel, a religious beachgoer. "As a religious woman I don't want to be seen like that, even though I go into the water with my clothes on.
"Everyone probably thinks that this strip of beach was closed because of narrow-minded haredim, but this is the only way that… honors each person's right to his beliefs," she added.
But Moshe Gershon, who arrived at the segregated beach with his three sons, admitted that the separation was meant to shield religious bathers from sneaking peeks at the immodestly-dressed secular bathers.
"The separation was meant to help us to avoid violating our beliefs and prevent us from looking at the female bathers on the adjacent beach," he said. "You have no idea how beneficial this separation is… Modesty can only enrich married life, and I'm glad that the lifeguard goes beyond his duties and protects the partition.
"My kids' break from school is so short, and this allows them to enjoy the beach in a way that doesn't hurt them. Why is that bad?"
The Ashdod Municipality said in response that it decided to temporarily expand the religious beach by 80 meters on its southern side due to the perilous uneven terrain and strong currents on its north side.


You are here: Home / What is Simchat Torah?
Simchat Torah (Rejoicing with the Torah) marks the end of the annual cycle of weekly Torah readings and the beginning of the new cycle. It is a joyous holiday that celebrates the Jewish love of Torah and study.
Simchat Torah is celebrated by taking all the Torah scrolls out of the ark in synagogue and spending the evening dancing, singing, and rejoicing. The scrolls are carried around the sanctuary in seven circles called hakafot. Though only seven circles are required, the dancing and celebrating usually goes on much longer. It is also customary to drink alcohol on the holiday as part of the celebratory experience. Many people also take the Torah scrolls out to the street and dance publicly as a way of showing their pride as Jews.
On the morning of the holiday, the last parashah (portion) of the book of Deuteronomy is read in synagogue, followed by the first parashah of the book of Genesis (the end and the beginning of the Torah, respectively).
What kinds of foods are eaten on Simchat Torah?
There are not many traditional Simchat Torah foods, but one popular ingredient for Simchat Torah meals is cabbage, due its cylindrical shape, which is seen as representing the shape of the Torah scroll. Stuffed cabbage is a traditional Ashkenazi Simchat Torah dish. Another cylindrical shaped food that can be made is blintzes. Some people also like to make Torah shaped cookies for the holidays.
What is the proper greeting for Simchat Torah?
The greeting for Simchat Torah is simply "Chag Sameach!" (Happy Holiday).
Simchat Torah is observed on the 22nd to 23rd of Tishrei.

Addison — Like Homer's Odyssey and other fabulous mythic adventures, Cindy Lou Johnson's Brilliant Traces, an 80-minute play premiered by Circle Repertory Company nearly 30 years ago, begins in medias res, in the middle of things, then the characters tell their back stories about what brought them to this moment.
The ancient device works wonderfully in Johnson's fascinating play, directed with a strong poetic rhythm by Emily Scott Banks at Addison Theatre Centre's Stone Cottage. The co-producers are Endeavor Cinema Group, Funkytown Festival Productions, Carlos Aguilar, Elizabeth Kensek and Van Quattro.
Here, the wandering hero doesn't wash up on an island, but into an isolated cabin in the wilds of Alaska. The coincidence of plot and timing is the same. We see a sleeper huddled under blankets in a darkened wood cabin with a blizzard-force wind howling all around us, thanks to Steve Barcus's chilling sound design. No set design credit appears in the program, but the Stone Cottage's built-in fireplace and pine-paneled walls is perfect for the play.
A loud banging commences at the door and the sleeper, a man played by tall, blue-eyed Van Quattro, opens his cabin to the storm and a beautiful, dazed woman in a wedding gown, played by gray-eyed Elizabeth Kensek, blows in with the wind and can't stop talking. Of course, we're all ears.
The man, a self-determined hermit named Henry, looks on in stunned silence as the agitated girl-woman, a dazed runaway named Rosannah DeLuce, rushes toward the fire and warms her satin-slippered feet, guzzles Jack Daniels from his shelf, stuffs herself with pretzels and babbles on about how her car stalled and she's been battling through the snow with no sleep for days.
Kensek's opening monologue alone is an astonishing performance piece in itself. Cogent and matter-of-fact one moment, she lights on a table and describes periodically fueling her car on gas and herself on Mars bars as she succumbs to the compulsion pushing her to outpace the very car she's driving. Or she gets a little jittery, and her voice becomes more hushed as she tries to define the terrifying force thrusting her forward. "The pain is in my DNA or my aorta; I'm not sure," she explains to her host. Then she collapses on the animal skin beside his bed.
What's a poor hermit to do? He didn't invite this lost soul from a society he's clearly worked hard to avoid into his loner's life, but here she is. He covers her up, makes her some soup and waits. The two are trapped in the cabin in a snow storm so impenetrable, it makes everything disappear. When Rosannah comes to and is nourished enough to feel the restless spirit moving inside her, Henry warns her of the dangers of hallucination and freezing to death in a full-blown white-out. "If you ever wandered what nothing looks like, go out that door," he says. Is this what she's running from or to?
As the two refugees from civilization wait out the blizzard, each tells stories of the distance they've come and the people they've loved that have left scars on their psyches, the "brilliant traces" of the title. Sometimes Johnson's characters speak of ordinary, concrete things, like oil rigs and Triple A service, but often their language reaches higher, epic-like, to capture more ethereal feelings, like the way love defines us and gives us reality. Both actors handle the wide range with ease, as if they speak this way all the time.
Quattro's Henry is a rapt listener. First shocked by Rosannah's appearance, like some goddess dropping through the roof, and then concerned about the creature aspects of keeping her alive. His face shows honest curiosity and human compassion for this woman, even when she's pouting in the corner like some sulky adolescent. Hers is the center of gravity when it comes to storytelling, but eventually we also learn what has brought him to this place where he doesn't have to ride the dreaded "roller coaster" of living with other human beings, those unpredictable creatures who generate life-affirming affection and abject misery.
Because of the darker aspects of their stories, we're uncertain if we're watching a tragic fantasy or a romantic comedy of a man and women battling it out until love conquers all. In fact, we're not at all sure what will happen with these two misfits until the last moment. But even if we knew, we'd want to take this strangely familiar journey with them, which explains why Brilliant Traces has been produced over and over in three decades and in many languages; it has even had a number of local productions.
Wear a sweater—that howling wind will make you want to wrap something around you, even if it's cozy-warm in the cabin. Hot chocolate would be fantastic.

Iowa Republicans may curb unemployment benefits 2 years after cutting workers' compensation
Kevin Hardy
The Des Moines Register
Two years after cutting workers' compensation benefits for Iowa workers, Republican lawmakers are considering major changes to unemployment benefits.
Iowa Workforce Development officials pre-filed a bill that would change benefits for the program it oversees.
Two Iowa senators have floated bills that would alter eligibility requirements. And the Iowa Association of Business and Industries — a powerful lobbyist group for Iowa businesses — has prioritized changes to the unemployment system.
Some of the changes include adding a one-week waiting period to receive benefits and targeting the long-term unemployed.
Iowa lawmakers aren't alone in their interest in unemployment: As of Tuesday, 168 pieces of pending legislation on unemployment insurance eligibility were making their way through state legislatures across the country, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
The proposed changes come at a time when more Iowans than ever are working: Iowa's lowest-in-the-nation unemployment rate of 2.4 percent in December was a record low for the state.
More:Applying for a job you're not qualified for? You could get in trouble under a proposed Iowa law
More than 1.65 million Iowans were working that month, a record high since records were first collected in 1976, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In addition, Iowa's unemployment trust fund is among the nation's highest rated.
Still, lawmakers are pointing to Iowa's tight labor market as an explanation for targeting those who aren't employed.
"We've got numerous jobs that are not being filled," said Iowa Sen. Jake Chapman, R-Adel. "So the question as a policy-maker is are these openings due to a lack of a skilled workforce or a lack of desire to fill those jobs?"
But many people rely on unemployment benefits as they transition to new careers or retrain, said Julie Fugenschuh, executive director of Project Iowa, a Des Moines nonprofit that offers job training programs.
"It doesn't even make sense to me," she said of the proposed legislative changes.
While Fugenschuh believes Social Security and disability benefits can keep people out of the workforce, she said that's not the case for unemployment payments.
"It's a limited scope. It doesn't go on and on forever," she said. "And it's certainly not enough to live on."
In 2018, the average weekly unemployment benefit paid to Iowa workers was $385.19.
Redefining workplace misconduct
Chapman introduced a bill seeking to redefine misconduct, the legal standard used to determine if out-of-work employees are disqualified from drawing unemployment insurance benefits.
He described current administrative rules as "archaic" and "broad" when defining misconduct. Moreover, he said cases of employees showing up to work intoxicated or stealing from their employer are not automatically characterized as misconduct, but are subject to the outcome of a hearing.
Chapman's proposed legislation, Senate Study Bill 1088, would cast a broad definition of misconduct. In addition to intoxication and theft, workers could lose unemployment benefits for:
Disobedience of "reasonable instructions of the employer"
Lack of truthfulness or candor
"Excessive" unexcused tardiness or absenteeism
Conduct that creates "dissension or animus" against the employer or a co-worker if that behavior is not protected under federal or state law
Conduct that is "defamatory" toward the employer or an employee if that behavior is not protected under federal or state law, and
Conduct that is "not in the best interest" of the employer
Chapman declined to cite specific cases, but he pointed to news reports that "certainly raised some eyebrows" as workers were fired on seemingly legitimate grounds, then still collected unemployment benefits.
"There should be clear expectations and guidelines from both the employer and employee," he said.
No lobbyists have registered in favor of the bill, though three groups oppose it: The Iowa State Education Association, the Iowa State Building and Construction Trades and the Iowa Federation of Labor, AFL-CIO.
Chapman said he is open to other changes to the unemployment system after hearing concerns from multiple business owners. They're most concerned with people applying for jobs with no intention of taking them — a means of satisfying the state's work search requirements to remain eligible for weekly payments.
"Unemployment benefits are there for people, as they should be, when they''re in times of need," he said. "It should not be because someone does not want to do a job, but rather because they're unable to do a job."
Iowa's unemployment system among nation's most solvent
As in every state, Iowa employers pay regular unemployment premiums in the form of taxes.
Those funds are collected in state unemployment trust funds, which are used to pay out weekly benefits for out-of-work employees.
Iowa's unemployment trust fund had a balance of more than $1.1 billion in January 2018, according to Iowa Workforce Development.
The fund, which earned more than $23 million in interest in 2017, is among the nation's most solvent: The U.S. Department of Labor ranked the solvency of Iowa's fund ahead of all but 11 states.
As the labor market has tightened, the amount paid out in benefits has dropped: In 2018, the trust fund spent about $382 million in benefits, down 8 percent over the $415.9 million paid out in 2017.
Likewise, the number of unemployment claims initiated dropped from 163,841 in 2017 to 155,959 in 2018.
Iowa Workforce Development spokesman Cory Kelly said he could not make any officials with the agency available for an interview. But in an email, he said those numbers show more Iowans are motivated to work than ever before.
"More Iowans are working today than in any other time in history," he wrote, "so the idea that unemployment benefits are motivating people to stay out of the workforce does not align with what we have observed."
Still, the agency is pushing for its own changes in the Legislature.
Implementing a one-week waiting period
Iowa Workforce Development pre-filed legislation this year that would implement a one-week waiting period to apply for unemployment and change benefits for the unemployed.
Kelly's email said the agency was "committed to continuous improvement" and said the one-week waiting period would put Iowa in line with many other states: Eight states, including Iowa, don't have a one-week waiting period, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.
If enacted, the legislation would decrease benefits for some workers: The current formula issues a higher payment based on the number of dependents.
Under the bill, workers with one dependent would see an increase in weekly benefits, though those with three or more dependents would see a reduction.
Lawmakers passed the bill, House Study Bill 42, out of a labor subcommittee Tuesday.
Charlie Wishman, secretary-treasurer for the Iowa Federation of Labor, said the state's proposed waiting period will hurt Iowans.
"That first week is the week when people are going to most need help," he said.
Wishman said the unemployment legislation mirrors a Republican legislative proposal to establish work requirements for Medicaid recipients.
"I think it kind of goes to their larger narrative and worldview that they think there are people out there choosing not to be in the workforce," he said. "And we don't think that's the case."
Wishman said targeting small groups of vulnerable Iowans will never fill the vast holes in Iowa's workforce.
About 40,600 Iowans were counted as unemployed in December, though the Iowa Workforce Development website advertises more than 50,000 current job openings across the state.
"Maybe this just seems like old-school thought here, but higher wages for workers will make people want to come here," Wishman said. "Having a good education system will make workers and businesses want to come here."
Echoes of workers' compensation changes
In 2017, the Iowa Association of Business and Industry pushed for major changes to the state's workers' compensation system.
The group represents 1,500 member companies, including big employers such as John Deere and Rockwell Collins. Rhetoric in 2017 described the state's workers' comp system as "unsustainable" and "a cautionary tale."
But data at the time on insurance premiums showed no large increases in premium costs, claims or medical costs associated with workplace injuries. In fact, workers' compensation premiums were decreasing for Iowa employers.
Still, the Legislature passed sweeping changes in 2017 that cut benefits for injured workers, made it harder for injured workers to claim lump-sum payments and limited how much attorneys can reap in legal fees.
This year, Association of Business and Iowa officials have identified workforce needs as their top legislative priority.
Association literature blames "challenges" with Iowa's unemployment system for discouraging individuals from obtaining full-time work.
The group wants to ensure that unemployment benefits remain available for workers who truly need them, said Nicole Crain, the group's senior vice president of public policy.
"We also want to ensure there's a balance in the system," she said, "and that it's sustainable and protected from fraud."
Crain said employers believe some unemployed workers frequently apply for jobs just as a means of maintaining their benefits.
"We are seeing people who are eligible for work, coming in applying and they're not taking the job," she said. "So I think that frustrates people."
Iowa Sen. Jim Carlin has a similar concern. He introduced a bill, Senate File 99, that would allow employers to report job applicants who are "manifestly unqualified."
After three such reports, Iowa Workforce Development could initiate an investigation and issue penalties, including revoking unemployment benefits.
Carlin, R-Sioux City, said he drafted the bill after placing an advertisement for a paralegal on the job site Indeed.
"I had pizza delivery people, people with zero — absolutely zero — secretarial experience, any experience for a paralegal-type position," he said at a Monday subcommittee meeting on the bill. "When I say zero, I mean zero experience."
After several labor union officials questioned and objected to the bill, Carlin said he was open to making tweaks, and the group tabled the legislation.
"I do have some difficulty understanding why somebody can't find a job in six months," he said. "That's just a tough sell."

The most attractive spot in the city is the Old Town district, resembling a town of Medieval Age with the surrounding city walls, which can be reached by four different gates, offering truly a time travel into the past. The main gate Pile usually is the first stop of travelers, whereas the gate of Ploce reaches the port.

Q: Count how many rows with the same value I have the following tables:
Table A:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|   ID  |   User    |   Enterpr_id    |
|   1   |   test1   |      1          |
|   2   |   test2   |      2          |
|   3   |   test3   |      3          |
|   4   |   test4   |      4          |
|   5   |   test5   |      1          |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

Table B:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
|   Enterpr_id    |     Name    |
|   1             |   Nespresso |
|   2             |     what    |
|   3             |     else    |
|   4             |     need    |
|   5             |     help    |
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

I have a foreign key on Enterpr_id with Table A, how can I make a count alternate and get the expected Output:
Nespresso - 2 users
what - 1 user
else - 1 user
need - 1 user
help - 0 user

A: That's a simple join:
select a.user, b.name
from tablea a
inner join tableb b on b.entrepr_id = a.entrepr_id

Edit: from your updated question, you seem to want aggregation and a left join:
select b.name, count(a.id) cnt_users
from tableb b
left join tablea a on a.entrepr_id = b.entrepr_id
group by b.entrepr_id, b.name
order by b.entrepr_id

A: It's a left join query with a count:
SELECT Name, COUNT(TableA.ID)
FROM TableB LEFT JOIN TableA ON TableB.Enterpr_id = TableA.Enterpr_id
GROUP BY TableB.Enterpr_id, TableB.Name;

America's twin economic "generals" are both in very deep trouble. General Electric (GE) was founded in 1892, and it was once one of the most powerful corporations on the entire planet. But now it is drowning in so much debt that it may be forced into bankruptcy. General Motors (GM) was founded in 1908, and at one time it was the largest automaker that the world had ever seen. But now it is closing a bunch of factories and laying off approximately 14,000 workers as it anticipates disappointing sales and a slowing economy. If the U.S. economy really was "booming", both of these companies would probably be thriving. But as you will see below, both of them have been victimized by the exact same Ponzi scheme, and both firms are sending us very clear signals that the U.S. economy is heading for troubled waters.
A couple of decades ago corporate America embarked on an experiment that sounded good at the time – tie top level executive pay to company performance through bonuses and stock options.


Foresight Solar Fund has announced it has signed a binding contract to acquire the 46MWp Landmead asset.
Located in East Hanney, Oxfordshire, the solar farm is currently under construction.
It is expected to be grid-connected later this month and will be eligible for the 1.4 ROC rate.
The acquisition means Foresight now owns and manages four of the country's largest solar farms.
In total, it currently manages an operational portfolio of 185MWp of UK solar assets and this addition of the Landmead site will increase capacity to 231MWp.


Whose brainchild was Xoxoday? How did the name come about?
Xoxoday was started as a gifting company Giftxoxo.com in 2012. While researching about the gifting market, two of the early founders of the company Sumit Khandelwal and Manoj Agarwal found a concept of 'Experiences as Gifts'. It was in trend in US and European markets at that time. Companies like Smartbox (in Europe) and UniqGift (in Singapore) were doing quite well in those countries. Back then, there were no matured player in India and hence we started 'Experiences as Gifts' business. We, four founders jointly pitched this idea in the market and raised funds from Kshatriya Ventures in 2013. Xoxoday was a name given by one of the founder's wife Suruchi Jain. She happens to be a doctor by profession.
How did it evolve from Giftxoxo to Xoxoday?
Xoxoday's core product happens to be booking of 'Experiences, Activities & Things-to-do" in the city. The experiences can be gifted as well as self-consumed. You may consume it when you want to explore a new city or when you want to enjoy your own city during weekends or special occasions.
Due to word 'Gift' in Giftxoxo, people treated us as a gifting company. However we were much more than a gifting company and people knew us with the name Xoxo. Hence we deleted the prefix "Gift" and added a suffix 'Day' to Xoxo to make it Xoxoday.
What is Mahindra group's stake in this venture? Are they giving any technical expertise?
Mahindra group's investment was a strategic round. One of the business entities of Mahindra Group – Club Mahindra operates in the hospitality industry. Club Mahindra has 200,000+ members. Experiences can be consumed by Club Mahindra members during their holidays as well as when they want to enjoy their own city during weekends. Mahindra group has a 12 per cent stake in Xoxoday.
What benefits can accrue to hotels from Xoxoday? Tell us about the Treebo Hotels case study.
Whenever you stay in a hotel, you often visit the hotel's travel desk to enquire about things to do in the city. You ask the travel desk manager for the prices too. You may feel the prices he is quoting is either very high or the information he is sharing is incomplete. Upon survey it's been found that, out of 100 people who check into the hotel, 60 people go to the travel desk and only 11 gets converted (buys from travel desk). This is a major missed opportunity for hotels and also a cause for dissatisfaction among their guests.
Xoxoday for Hotels is a new hotel-tech product built by Xoxoday. It's a SaaS based product for hotels to generate revenue from selling 'Local Experiences, Activities & Things-to-do' to its resident guests. Here as soon as the guest reaches the travel desk, the travel desk manager shows several options on a digital screen along with real photos, content, reviews and real-time access to book it. This builds confidence among the guests and purchase decision happens unbiased.
Xoxoday for Hotels also lets hotels to build a white-labeled website with transparent backend about the commissions earned on each booking. The commissions are shared between Xoxoday and hotels based on the package a hotel buys. Hotels may even #Host an experience from inside their own hotels or other experience partners they might have. The same can be selectively visible or to the world.
Treebo has been a strategic partner of Xoxoday. Both are new age companies and see a natural synergy in business. A resident guest at Treebo is educated about the 'Local Experiences, Activities & Things-to-do' of the city. It happens when a guest books a Treebo hotel, before the check-in day, at the hotel's reception and in his room. This allows the guest to learn about the city well and he can book it using QR codes in the communications. Xoxoday has created a white-labeled web link treebo.xoxoday.com which is accessible to all the guests.
Apart from Treebo Hotels, which other hotels is Xoxoday planning to work with?
Any hotel which intends to create value for its resident guests can opt for Xoxoday for Hotels. It's a tech partner for its own guests, its travel desk managers and the hotel.
How do you curate the local experiences/activities?
Xoxoday lets #Hosts to self-host an experience. It allows them to manage their bookings, its inventory, its pictures, its content, its pricing and its FAQs. These experiences go through a content hygiene check, host quality check, social presence check, after which it gets listed on Xoxoday. Xoxoday also sends a feedback form to guests after every booking, which keeps adding into the experience's description. Some of the experiences which are not convincing have been shot in a video. Experiences which receive multiple bad reviews are removed from Xoxoday.

Your insights on millennial travel?
Millennials usually like to consume and move on. They don't want to store things. They don't want usual things. They don't want to travel to usual destinations. They don't want to sit back at home over weekends. They want to explore new things. They want to do something which is unusual, offbeat and different. Hence the future trends are in Xoxoday's favour!
Is the industry in India ready for a platform like Xoxoday?
The industry is picking up and has started showing positive trends. Xoxoday is currently serving the market via B2B2C channels. This reduces the cost of education and cost of sales to reach out to consumers. Xoxoday will pickup B2C channel i.e. reaching out to consumers directly once the market is ready.
Book travel arrangements to reach the city like bus, train, flight, etc.
Book hotel when you reach the city.
Book experiences and last mile activities to explore the city.
The first two aspects of travel are solved by OTAs like MakeMyTrip, Goibibo, etc. However the problem no. 3 is still not solved. We get a lot of information over web, but we cannot book it. Xoxoday's goal is to answer the third problem and reach out to consumers via B2B2C and B2C channels. Xoxoday aims to built a community of 200,000+ hosts selling their experiences via its platform by 2020.


Are Udemy and Coursera Worth the Cost?
Game design programs have been popping up at colleges left and right over the past decade+. It's no wonder—video games are a billion dollar industry. More people than ever are playing them, and more people than ever want to make them.
But the cost of college has only gone up, and the idea of getting a 6-figure degree to break into an industry that historically has not needed one is a hot debate (don't believe us? Go on a Reddit forum).
It makes sense. A significant number of industry veterans didn't get a "game design degree" before landing their first jobs. The programs weren't available then. Sure, there was computer science—but plenty of game designers broke into the industry without a degree.
So… is a college degree worth it? It won't be right for everyone. And, luckily, there are alternatives.
For one, you have Coursera. Coursera is a subscription-based learning program with online courses—many of which are created by universities.
You can learn at college-level material at a much better rate—and the faster you learn, the less it costs you, because it's subscription based.
Udemy has a flat fee to purchase the course—for life. There are some other differences, too. And we'll go into a course or two that each one has to offer, and why they might or might not be the right choice for you.
First, let's start with Udemy.
Udemy has 55,000 online courses, with thousands of different instructors, and lifetime access for every purchased course. You buy it once, you have it forever. You can go back and reference it at any time!
As you'll see in a bit, not all programs work this way. The ability to go back and reference trouble areas or review to stay sharp is a perk worth keeping in mind.
Prices will vary, but Udemy loves to run sales. It seems like every time we check in on them to write a new piece, they have some kind of discount promotion going. For Black Friday, they're offering 95% off on some of these video game courses.
That means you're paying $10 for 70 hours of content. Content that normally costs $200 (which still seems like a fair trade—do you know what 70 credit hours would cost at a university?).
Udemy's scope of courses seems all-encompassing. What you learn is only limited by your interests (and maybe your bank account—unless there's a blowout sale!).
The course requirements are pretty light if you already have a computer that can run the software you'll be using (Unity3D, Maya, Mudbox, 3DS MAX, and Photoshop). Other than that, all you need are "general computer skills." (And…they recommend a 3 button mouse).
Since you'll need a computer running these programs anyway, the overhead specific to this course is pretty low (especially compared to…you guessed it! college). Course requirements like this are listed for every class, so you'll always know what you need before you purchase a program.
Every Udemy course offers an in-depth description of what you'll tackle over the duration of the program.
In addition to requirements and descriptions, Udemy courses provide "target audience" information. This lets you know if the course is or is not right for you. This helps with picking courses that are the appropriate skill level and have the appropriate content focus.
Udemy does a good job of providing introductory information to its courses so you know what you're getting. The descriptions, the requirements, the target audience info—all of this is helpful. But one of their most helpful features is the candid reviews from students who have participated in the class.
These are reviews from people just like you, who once sat where you sat, who once wondered if they should drop some loot on a Udemy course.
-Derek N (3 stars): "the content is great so far, however there is a lot of repetition of previously covered topics.
(quick note: this was written a month before the course was updated, in 10/2017—this dated info may have been fixed).
-Ryan W (5 stars): "This has to be the absolute BEST educational experience of my life. I could not possibly give a review that truly represents how appreciative I am that this even exists, seriously. Bottom line; the ratio of money spent to knowledge earned is absolutely laughable.
But you can see how helpful this is.
From this snapshot of feedback, you know that some pieces of content aren't up to date, but the information is still helpful enough for that reviewer to give the course 4 stars—plus, we know the course has been updated since then.
Some customers had a hard time hearing the instructor. Other reviewers say it's hands down the best use of their money in the history of their education.
Candid reviews make the course easier to evaluate. It makes it easier to see if it's right for you. You hear the good things and the bad things about the course, from people looking for similar outcomes.
You have to decide for yourself if Udemy courses are for you (with the help of reviewers—wink). If you buy the course while it's on sale and never open it, that's a waste. If you start it, get stuck and never go back to finish it—that's also a waste.
But, if you're motivated, diligent, and ready to put the time in on your own schedule, Udemy's courses are a potent, low-price option.
They're a great way to get your feet wet to see if you like animation before going to school for it (or a way to enter a program with more skills and knowledge than your peers).
Instead of paying once and owning a course for life, Coursera charges you a monthly subscription fee for the courses.
The good news is, your first seven days are free as part of a trial period. You can test parts of a course and see if you like it. You have the ability to cancel anytime, or you can proceed into the $49 per month subscription (or annual payments for a slight discount).
The subscription pricing model is not as compelling as the pay once model used by Udemy. But the content is coming from top-tier game design schools (at a much better price than full tuition)—schools like Michigan State University and CalArts.
These schools are renowned for their game design and animation programs. Coursera makes courses available for $600 a year—100x less than what you'd pay to attend the degree program at these schools.
Granted, you're not getting a full education and access to the same resources (or even the same content)—but the sources of this content are known for excellent programs. The price is right.
You Can Earn a Specialization, But Can You Earn College Credit?
You can earn certificates for specializations upon completing all the courses in the bundle. You can also take the courses individually if you're only interested in specific topics (you won't get the certificate, though).
The programs don't count for college credit, but sometimes universities will give you credit for a specialization certificate earned through Coursera (definitely check with your college before signing on to this, if that's what you're looking for).
Like Udemy, Coursera allows students to candidly review the courses they've participated in.
As you can see, some people loved it, others weren't sure it was worth the monthly price tag.
Of course, if you have the time to crank out the course in only a few months, you'll end up paying less. And if you're strapped for cash, Coursera does offer financial aid.
In any case, these options are significantly less than collegiate-level courses.
They give you the tools you need to start designing and developing games on your own (no matter what level you're at—beginner to advanced).
Both Udemy and Coursera are solid online platform options—as long as you can stick with any of the courses you enroll in. There won't be professors making you keep up with assignments, and the price tag isn't so large that it will necessarily keep you motivated.
Once again, your success comes down to the effort you put into the course.

UNSC rejects Russian-drafted res. on border aid to Syria
TEHRAN, Jul. 11 (MNA) – The UN Security Council has rejected a Russian-drafted resolution that reportedly seeks to authorize the cross-border humanitarian aid delivery mechanism in northwestern Syria from Turkey through one crossing for a year.
"The result of the voting is as follows: four votes in favor, seven votes against, four abstentions. The draft resolution has not been adopted, having failed to obtain the required number of votes", UN Security Council President Christoph Heusgen said, Sputnik reported on Friday.
A Security Council resolution requires nine votes and no veto from any of the five permanent members - China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Earlier in the day, the members of the council could not agree on another resolution sponsored by Germany and Belgium that aimed to extend the UN humanitarian mechanism for six months using two border crossings from Turkey - Bab al-Hawa and Bab al-Salam.
Russia joined China in vetoing the draft, and in the new resolution proposed to keep only Bab al-Hawa checkpoint.
"The Security Council decides to renew the decisions in paragraphs 2 and 3 of Security Council resolution 2165 (2014), for a period of twelve months, that is, until 10 July 2021, excluding the border crossing of Al-Ramtha, Al Yarubiyah and Bab Al-Salam", the text of the document obtained by Sputnik said.
The resolution also would have required UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to report no later than August 31 to the Security Council regarding the impact of unilateral sanctions on the socio-economic situation in Syria and humanitarian deliveries from outside the country.
Besides, the document would have asked UN humanitarian agencies to improve monitoring of the delivery of aid supplies and their distribution within Syria.

Angora Fire Lookout: a historic lookout with epic views
Rick Follow on Twitter Send an email June 9, 2016
(Last Updated On: November 6, 2020)
The Angora Fire Lookout, also known as Angora Ridge Lookout or Angora Lookout, is perched on the Angora Ridge above Fallen Leaf Lake at an elevation of 7,256 feet. Although the lookout is no longer in service, it remains a popular destination for hiking, biking and snowshoeing. Additionally, the lookout provides spectacular views of the Tahoe Basin.
History of the Angora Lookout
From 1910-1914, the US Forest Service in California underwent dramatic changes. Coert DuBois was the man responsible for these changes as his disgust for the previous administration's ineptness and his dedication to fire prevention led to a massive overhaul of forestry policies and practices. Additionally, DuBois aided in the 1911 Congressional passing of "Weeks Law" and also helped motivate California's State Legislature to appropriate money for fire prevention in 1919. The first state funded lookout was built in 1922, according to CalFire.
Two years later, the Angora Lookout was built on Angora Ridge in 1924. Shortly after, construction began on Angora Ridge Road, which wasn't completed until 1929. According to one source, the construction of the road took nearly 5 years to complete because "It was all done by hand — a pick and shovel and crowbar, a very small amount of dynamite and a very great amount of sweat."
The lookout was a Dubois-inspired structure that some think was built in the mold of a dwelling 1D, which Dubois included in a 1917 Improvement Circular. These 1D's were believed to cost about $112 in labor plus materials, according to Foresthistory.org.

A New Lookout
In 1933, FDR formed the Civilian Conservation Corps, which operated from 1933 to 1942 as a work relief program. In addition to many other projects, the CCC was tasked with building fire lookouts across the Nation. During this period, an estimated 250 lookouts were built in California. It was in 1935 that the CCC built a new Angora Fire Lookout next to the original structure, which was converted into a small residence for those manning the lookout. You can see the lookout in the photo above. (Photo found at CaliforniaLookouts.com)
In the early 1940's, a garage structure was built next door. Also, during this era, lookouts doubled as spotters for enemy aircrafts.
Up to this point, the Angora Ridge Rd. was a rugged, steep dirt road. It wasn't until 1963 that the ridge portion of the road was paved. The entire road wasn't paved until 2005.
By the early 1970's, a large percentage of lookouts had been retired throughout California due to an increased emphasis on newer technology and prevention methods such as airplanes and helicopters. It was during this era that the Angora Ridge Lookout was decommissioned.

The Lookout Today
Today, the Angora Lookout is a popular, historic point of interest that many visitors stop by on their way to the Angora Lakes. The buildings are typically closed and locked. However, there are some interpretive signs nearby and spectacular views. There's enough room for a few cars to park in front of the garage where there are signs for parking.
Angora Fire Lookout interpretive sign
The Angora Ridge lookout is one of only three surviving fire lookouts in the Tahoe region (Zephyr Cove and Martis Lookout).
On a related note, there's a popular trail on the north shore of Tahoe that leads to the site of where a fire lookout once stood. You can read more about that in my article: Stateline Lookout Trail: an easy hike with spectacular views of North Lake Tahoe
Angora Ridge Rd.
Although the road has seen considerable improvements since the retirement of the lookout, extreme caution is recommended when driving along Angora Ridge Rd. There's only one lane and drivers must use the small turnouts for other cars to pass by.
Additionally, this road is not open during the winter months. In fact, it's typically opened April/May to September/October. If the road is closed, then it's 1.85 miles from the closed forest gate at the beginning of the road to the lookout. Hiking and snowshoeing have become popular options for seeing the lookout when the road is closed.

The Angora Fire
In late-June of 2007, a massive fire started north of the town of Meyers and quickly spread north-by-northeast. The fire did most of its damage within the first 8 hours as it was heading towards Lake Tahoe. Thousands were evacuated and a local emergency was declared. Soot rained down from above as the skies looked like the apocalypse was at hand.
In total, over 3,100 acres of land was burned, 254 houses were destroyed and over $150 million in damages. An investigation was launched and the origin of the fire was determined to be caused by a human.
Today, when driving on Angora Ridge Rd. to the historic fire lookout and the lakes, you can clearly see the remains of this fire and the beautiful land that was destroyed.
This historic fire lookout is a wonderful point of interest that should be combined with a trek up to the Angora Lakes, which is located 1 mile beyond the lookout. Make sure you inquire into the road being opened before heading out this way. Even if you are uninterested in this historic structure, the views of the Tahoe Basin are definitely worth the trip up to the ridge.

Directions to the Angora Fire Lookout
From the split of Highway 89 and 50, head 3 miles on 89 toward Emerald Bay. Make a left on Fallen Leaf Lake Road, which is just past Camp Richardson. Drive roughly 2 miles until a fork in the road. Take the left fork, which is Tahoe Mountain Rd. Drive roughly 0.4 miles until Angora Ridge Rd., which is on your right side. Look for the gate at beginning of the Angora Ridge Rd. I didn't see any sign for this road.

This part of ISO 9241 provides requirements and recommendations for human-centred design principles and activities throughout the life cycle of computer-based interactive systems. It is intended to be used by those managing design processes, and is concerned with ways in which both hardware and software components of interactive systems can enhance human–system interaction.
NOTE 1 Computer-based interactive systems vary in scale and complexity. Examples include off-the-shelf (shrink-wrap) software products, custom office systems, process control systems, automated banking systems, Web sites and applications, and consumer products such as vending machines, mobile phones and digital television. Throughout this part of ISO 9241, such systems are generally referred to as products, systems or services although, for simplicity, sometimes only one term is used.
This part of ISO 9241 provides an overview of human-centred design activities. It does not provide detailed coverage of the methods and techniques required for human-centred design, nor does it address health or safety aspects in detail. Although it addresses the planning and management of human-centred design, it does not address all aspects of project management.
The information in this part of ISO 9241 is intended for use by those responsible for planning and managing projects that design and develop interactive systems. It therefore addresses technical human factors and ergonomics issues only to the extent necessary to allow such individuals to understand their relevance and importance in the design process as a whole. It also provides a framework for human factors and usability professionals involved in human-centred design. Detailed human factors/ergonomics, usability and accessibility issues are dealt with more fully in a number of standards including other parts of ISO 9241 (see Annex A) and ISO 6385, which sets out the broad principles of ergonomics.

Sublimit for Misappropriation of Funds Applied to Claim Based on Employee's Scheme Approving Fraudulent Settlement Claims
The United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, applying Pennsylvania law, has held that a policy sublimit for misappropriation, misuse, theft, or embezzlement of funds applied to a suit against an insured class action settlement administrator based on the actions of one of its employees in approving fraudulent claims. CAMICO Mut. Ins. Co. v. Heffler, Radetich & Saitta, LLP, 2014 WL 5070473 (3d Cir. Oct. 10, 2014). The court further held that the insurer was entitled to recoup the amounts it had paid above the sublimit because the policy expressly provided for reimbursement.
The employee of the insured administrator had participated in a scheme to siphon several million dollars of settlement proceeds to his co-conspirators and subsequently pled guilty to mail fraud and wire fraud. Following the discovery of the scheme, members of one of the settlement classes sued the administrator for damages resulting from the employee's actions. The administrator's insurer had funded the defense against the class-members' claims but sought a declaratory judgment that the policy's $100,000 sublimit for claims "arising from, related to or in connection with any Insured's misappropriation, misuse, theft or embezzlement of funds" should apply, and to recoup the amounts it had paid over the sublimit.
On appeal from the grant of summary judgment to the insurer, the court first considered whether the employee's conduct constituted misappropriation, misuse, theft, or embezzlement of funds. The court found that misappropriation is a technical term with a specific legal definition, "the application of another's property or money dishonestly to one's own use." The court determined that the employee's actions in approving false claims had funneled funds to which class members were entitled to the employee and his co-conspirators instead, and at minimum the employee had misappropriated funds, which was behavior sufficient to invoke the sublimit.
The court then looked to whether the employee was an insured to whom the sublimit applied, i.e., whether he was performing professional services for the named insured. The administrator argued that the employee's actions were not professional services because the benefits derived from the actions did not inure to it as the named insured. The court held that this narrow interpretation of the definition of professional services would render the provision superfluous. The court determined that, because the employee was engaged in the professional service of claims administration at the time that he was employed by the named insured, and the benefit of that claims administration inured to the named insured, the employee performed professional services as defined by the policy. The court also rejected the insured's argument that the employee was not an insured because he no longer worked for the administrator at the time the claim was made. The court held that the employee's status as an insured should be determined at the time the conduct in question occurred, and the employee therefore was an insured to whom the sublimit applied.
Finally, the court held that the insurer was entitled to recoup its litigation costs from the insured in excess of the sublimit. Although Pennsylvania law does not normally allow insurers to recoup defense costs, reimbursement is possible when the contract expressly provides for it. The court found that the plain language of the policy stated that the insured was obligated to reimburse the insurer if the insurer paid expenses or damages in excess of any applicable sublimit.

Home World Russia orders troops back to base after buildup near Ukraine
Russia orders troops back to base after buildup near Ukraine
The announcement came as President Vladimir Putin invited Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy for talks in Moscow following weeks of renewed fighting in the east of Ukraine between government troops and pro-Moscow separatists.
Russia has announced it was ordering troops back to base from the area near the border with Ukraine, apparently calling an end to a buildup of tens of thousands of soldiers that had alarmed the West.
The currencies of both Russia and Ukraine rose sharply after the announcement, signalling relief among investors just hours after Russia also ended war games in Crimea, the peninsula it occupied and annexed from Ukraine in 2014.
A confirmed pullout of the troops brought in on top of the permanent contingent will likely be welcomed by Western countries that had been expressing alarm at the prospect of further Russian intervention in eastern Ukraine. Russian-backed separatists have been fighting the Ukrainian government in the region since 2014.
The Ukrainian president's spokeswoman said this month that Russia had more than 40,000 troops deployed on Ukraine's eastern border and over 40,000 in Crimea. Around 50,000 of them were new deployments, she said. Moscow has not provided any troop numbers.
Zelenskyy welcomes 'steps to decrease military presence'
In a tweet, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine "welcomes any steps to decrease the military presence & deescalate the situation in Donbas (eastern Ukraine)," adding "Grateful to international partners for their support."
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba had told Reuters Kiev did not know whether Moscow intended to launch an attack or not, and said the West must make clear it would stand with Ukraine if Russia did so.
"So it can go in either direction now," Kuleba said. "And this is why the reaction of the West, the consolidated reaction of the West, is so important now, to prevent Putin … from making that decision."
US State Department spokesman Ned Price said Washington was aware of Russia's announcement and was watching the situation on the border closely. "We've heard words. I think what we'll be looking for is action," Price said.
Russian Defence Minister Sergey Shoigu said he had ordered troops involved in exercises to return to their bases by May 1, as they had completed what he called an "inspection" in the border area.
"I believe the objectives of the snap inspection have been fully achieved. The troops have demonstrated their ability to provide a credible defence for the country," Shoigu said.
Equipment left
Military hardware was to be left at a training ground near the city of Voronezh, about six hours' drive from Ukraine, so that it could be used again later this year in another big scheduled exercise.
Hours earlier, Shoigu had attended manoeuvres in Crimea, which Moscow said involved 10,000 troops and more than 40 warships. Russia also announced it had arrested a Ukrainian man in Crimea as a spy.
The troop buildup near Ukraine was one of several issues that have raised tensions between Russia and the West.
Sanctions, tit-for-tat expulsions
Last week, the United States tightened sanctions on Russia over accusations that it had hacked computers and meddled in US elections, and the Czech Republic accused Moscow of a role in deadly explosions at an arms dump in 2014.
Both countries expelled Russian diplomats, prompting angry denials and tit-for-tat expulsions by Moscow.
Western countries have also urged Russia to free jailed hunger-striking opposition figure Alexey Navalny, with Washington warning of "consequences" should he die in prison. Russia says the West should not interfere.
In a major speech on Wednesday, President Vladimir Putin sounded a defiant note, warning Western countries not to cross unspecified "red lines." But Putin is also participating this week in a climate summit organised by US President Joe Biden.
In Moscow, the Kremlin said Putin was aware of an invitation from Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to meet to discuss the crisis.
"If the president considers it necessary, he will reply himself. I have nothing to say on that now," spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
'NATO remains vigilant'
Both NATO and Ukraine's Zelenskyy welcomed Russia's announcement, with the Ukrainian leader saying on Twitter that "the reduction of troops on our border proportionally reduces tension."
"Any steps towards de-escalation by Russia would be important and well overdue," said a NATO official.
"NATO remains vigilant and we will continue to closely monitor Russia's unjustified military build-up in and around Ukraine."
In Moscow, Putin said Zelenskyy was welcome in Moscow "any time."
"If President Zelenskyy wants to start repairing relations, then we of course welcome it," he said.
But the Russian leader also said that if Zelenskyy hoped to resolve problems stemming from fighting in eastern Ukraine, then he should first meet with leaders of the breakaway regions in Donetsk and Lugansk.
Zelenskyy had this week invited Putin to hold talks in Ukraine's east, saying millions of lives were at stake.
Putin 'playing games'
Timothy Ash, senior emerging markets strategist at London-based Bluebay Asset Management, said Putin was "playing games" and it was hard for the Ukrainian leader to accept direct talks with separatists.
"Everyone knows this is a state vs state conflict but Putin is trying to imply this is a civil war in Ukraine," Ash said.
Kiev said one more soldier had died of shrapnel wounds when "Russian armed forces" shelled Ukraine's positions on Thursday.
European security watchdog OSCE's monitoring mission in eastern Ukraine for its part sounded the alarm over "near-unprecedented restrictions and impediments to its ability to operate" and increased numbers of civilian casualties.
Some 30 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed since the start of the year, compared to 50 in all of 2020.
Concerns of Kiev and the West
The West and Ukraine have accused Russia of sending troops and arms across the border but Moscow has denied the claim.
Russia's troop buildup on the Ukrainian border led to concern in Kiev and the West of a repeat of Russia's 2014 aggression, when Moscow annexed the Crimean peninsula from Ukraine.
The EU estimated this week the number of Russian troops along the Ukrainian border at more than 100,000.
Shoigu has described the movement of Russian troops as training exercises in response to "threatening" NATO actions.
On Thursday, he said Russia was closely watching NATO activity including the massive Defender Europe 2021 exercises from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
Russia said last week it intends to close parts of the Black Sea to foreign military and other ships for six months beginning Saturday.
Kiev has been battling separatists in eastern Ukraine since 2014, with the conflict claiming more than 13,000 lives.

The auroral ionosphere
To look at the Sun with various wavelengths makes it possible to see its surface at various altitudes under the chromosphere. To 575 nm for example, we can see his granulations, i.e. surfaces it convective layer.

To imagine what occurs, we can proceed by analogy, while looking at boiling a thick soup in a pan. The hottest soup bubbles go up since the bottom to surface and explode. The flame of the cooker represents the nuclear core of the Sun. Although the scale is not respected, the bottom of the pan represents the solar radiative area, in which energy is transported without transfer of matter. Lastly, solar soup is made up of electrons and protons instead of vegetables of the garden. Sights by far, the soup bubbles which go up and which go down resemble grains of rice. The drops which escape from the pan (and which falls down under the effect of terrestrial gravity… no simulation is not perfect!) represent the solar wind. Lastly, evaporation above the pan corresponds to the solar crown. The theorists of the beginning of the century knew, since the experiments of Birkeland in 1903, that the origin of the dawns was in the ejection of the particles of the Sun. Nevertheless, because of the high mass of the star, they refused to consider that this ejection can be permanent. It is Parker, in 1955, which succeeds in showing that by considering a null stellar pressure ad infinitum, the solar crown is not in hydrostatic balance. Consequently, a flow of particles can escape from it continuously. It called this flow of the pretty name of solar wind.
The ionic part of the solar wind is composed of 95% of ions of hydrogen and 5% of helium ions. In the plan of the ecliptic, on the level of the orbit of the Earth, it blows with an average of 400 km.s-1. However of recent observations of the ULYSSES satellite showed that this speed increased up to 750 km.s-1 approximately for solar latitudes higher than 20°. With an astronomical unit, its concentration is of approximately 5 ions and 5 electrons per cubic centimeter in the plan of the ecliptic (thus, each second, about 400 million particles cross each square centimeter at such a distance). The ULYSSES probe also measured that this concentration was divided of half for solar latitudes higher than 20°.

At intervals of approximately 11 years, the Sun knows also periods of strong activity during which dark spots appear on its surface. In these spots, the magnetic field is higher (to a thousand of times) that anywhere elsewhere on the surface of the Sun. Consequently, the matter, sensitive to the magnetic field, is organized there; the collisions are less frequent and the temperature decrease of 5800 K to approximately 4000 K. When the spots have various polarities, a magnetic tube of force can be created. The electrons and the ions are led along this neutral line by the forces of Lorentz.
Correlatively, phenomena violent one, sporadic, eject fast energy matter. They are eruptions resulting from arcs being able to reach about forty times the diameter of the Earth, or the ejections of mass coronale whose physics is not yet well clarified.
On the Earth, it is followed from there one to three days later of the magnetic disturbances, due to the interaction of the geomagnetic field and magnetic field carried by the solar wind. If their effect is confined with the high latitudes, one speaks about magnetic under-storm. In the cases, much rarer where the disturbances touch the whole of the sphere, one speaks about magnetic storm. The effects can prove to be spectacular. Thus, on March 13th, 1989, a magnetic storm because the breakdown of generators in Quebec, cutting electricity to 6 million Canadians and Americans during 9 hours. The same storm made inflate the terrestrial atmosphere, increasing the friction on satellites, and thus made assemble their orbit! The forecast of the solar disturbances - and on the basis of the disturbances of our technological world - is the field of a recent branch of astronomy: the meteorology of space.
