The Story Of Pua Steiner
By Alona Zohar|2020-03-16T14:18:37+03:00March 15th, 2020|Categories: Без рубрики|0 Comments
"I wrote two novels from the point of view of a young girl that are quite precise, which I know, because I gave them both to my mother, Matilda, to review for accuracy. She confirmed that my memory is accurate. "From Inside the Coup," which was translated to Russian and English, and "Forever My Jerusalem."
I also wrote another novel about my father from the point of view of an adult man on the period of the siege and captivity.
In 1948 I was seven years old.
I lived here for three years. However, my parents were born in the Old City of Jerusalem. And their parents were born in the Old City. My father's side traces back to multiple generations in the Old City.
We do not have any original photos because they were all burned in the siege. My mother's grandfather immigrated to Palestine from Baghdad and died in World War I because there was a famine in Jerusalem. My mother's parents came to Palestine from Belarus. They were married in Jerusalem, as were their children.
The wedding ceremony was in the Raisin Seminary. Now, it is part of the Muslim Quarter – the revitalized Jewish Quarter. One of my daughters and her husband, when they left the house, were the first couples to settle there. They were a young couple with no children. Her husband studied at the Mercaz HaRav Religious School, where they asked who would be willing to go settle in their house after it was purchased. They would live there until my son-in-law's father passed away.
My mother would say that in the Quarter there was a street full of only Jews – Maale Chaladia – Hebron Street. The entire street was lined with children's stores. Today, my sister lives in the Muslim Quarter. It's not simple living there, but she does not have memories from the war because she was born after it ended. I, on the other hand, had nightmares at night from the war.
I remember that we hated the Brits very much because they would constantly search our homes and stop us every now and then. They would search us for weapons and check our homes for members of the Underground Resistance. We hated them because they limited the immigration of Jews to Palestine after World War II, and we knew that there were many Jews who wished to immigrate. They did not even permit entrance to children.
The proposal for the Partition Plan was announced. My father was in the Haganah and said he knew that the majority of our village was against the use of terror. Most people were pragmatic. His reaction to the partition plan was that his country was now divided.
It was a completely different time and different circumstance back then. We did not have a State, the British were in control. Either they would remain and then Jews would continue to be barred from entering the country, or we would separate from them. We must take what we are given. Afterward, we believed, we would expand our borders.
After the UN decision to approve the 1948 Partition Plan, the school was outside the walls of the Old City. There was no bus to get back in. The city was filled with people singing and dancing. It was an unforgettable experience. Everyone was singing that we have a state. We went by foot to the Yafo Gate, as the Arabs signaled to us that they would behead us. They were showing us that they were powerful. Three days afterward, on February 12, they burned down the commercial center (where it is today) and besieged the Jewish Quarter. This was when the British were still here and cooperated with them. The so-called "protected us" so that we would not be harmed on our way to and from the house, but when my father tried going to school in the morning, he was beaten by an Arab and the British told him to return home and remain there. People did not leave their homes after that.
My sister and I were in school when it happened and our teacher told us to go straight to our grandparents' house. My grandparents on my mother's side left the Old City already in 1920/1921. There had been a wave of riots and they left and moved to a neighborhood called Beit Israel. We were four months outside of our house. My parents wanted us to continue attending our school. The caravan of people who arrived in the Old City were new immigrants and the British would ransack their homes searching for weapons. There were no phones or ways for people to communicate remotely. We were five children. Naomi, age nine, was the eldest, I was seven, Yehudit, Ruti, Haim, and Yehudah, who was born two weeks before the decision in the UN.
My paternal grandmother lived in the Old City. Her name was Alta Bergman. When my parents got married, they moved there from the mountains. My father was the Rabbi of Bayit V'Gan for 40 years. My grandmother Alta came to bring us back home sometime between Purim and Passover because I remember that we celebrated Passover in the Old City. We were upstairs in our home and heard gunshots below. We continued the Passover Seder.
In the surrender, when we left the Old City we were without our father a lot. Because we had small children in our family, I became responsible. We went to live next to Bus Line #38, near the walls that lead to the Zion Gate. My mother turned to me once and said, "Pua, do you remember when we left the Old City through this path? There is no way, you were only three and a half years old. I remember that you gave me your hand and we cried the entire way."
We returned to visit our home and were very happy. We wanted to go see the Wailing Wall but people laughed at us. There was an Arab neighborhood there. After the Partition announcement, there was no going to the Wailing Wall. We still didn't know if the British would leave or not. But then Gush Etzion fell on the Fourth of Eyar. We saw a military parade and watched as the British left. We felt good. We did not need them there. We would create our own State.
The following day the establishment of the State of Israel was announced from Tel Aviv. On the Sabbath, from our windows, we saw Arabs from the Silwan fleeing. Many people fled because they believed we were powerful. On Sunday morning there was heavy fire – much heavier and more serious than what we had experienced before. We lived on the third floor. We went down to the second, and then even further down.
We eventually crowded three families into one room. The walls on the bottom floor were thicker and thus served as a shelter. I prayed and played with five rocks to distract myself but was very afraid. We always remained inside the house. My father had a public position. When we prepared for the siege before the UN's decision, we created a neighborhood committee to take care of the residents' needs. The head of the committee was Rabbi Orenstein, who was the Chief Rabbi of the Wailing Wall. My father was the treasurer of the committee but dealt with several things. He was the connection between the residents and the military. In captivity, they called him the Mukhtar. He spoke English, German, French, Yiddish, Romanian, and Hebrew. […]
The shelling began on a Sunday morning. On Monday, we were attached to the Arab military wing. They broke through the military checkpoints set up by the British on Chabad Street and on the Jewish street. These were the roads that provided residents of the Jewish Quarter access to the market. They broke through and came wielding knives to riot against us. We had very little bread, with fewer weapons. It would not have been logical to fight against them.
The Arab militias arrived, and all of a sudden we heard screaming coming from outside. They were entering homes and threatening us to leave. All of a sudden, I found myself outside with panic-stricken people pushing and shoving. Inside, people were praying and screaming. Our soldiers retreated. During these difficult hours, my father took Naomi and I and asked to speak with us. There was no knowing what would happen. He told us that if God did not want him to remain with us that we should remember one thing. That there is only one important thing in the world, and that is the Torah. He told us that when we are older, he wanted us to marry men who studied the Torah.
In the end, we experienced a great miracle. Our people rose up and started shooting back and God spread his fear over our enemies. There is no other explanation. They were so many. They retreated to the market. Our people set up the checkpoint once again and that same week on Wednesday the Jordanian Legion arrived at Mount Olives. They wanted to take control of the land, not to kill. They wanted to conquer the Temple Mount because here, whoever controls the Temple Mount controls the Land of Israel. […]
The Legion arrived, spread themselves around the Old City and conquered. Slowly, we realized that the land that was in our hands was shrinking, because more families started running towards us. Two days before the end, they evacuated Misgav Hospital, and brought them to us, to our sheltered house. I remember Yehudit screaming. On Friday, two weeks after the announcement there was quiet in the morning. It turned out that we were negotiating a surrender. At first, I was glad because we would be safe. There were rumors that they would allow us to leave. I left my house, only to see that our combat soldiers were throwing their rifles into holes in the ground. I did not understand why they would be throwing away such expensive weapons. Afterward, they announced that all of the soldiers would be taken to captivity. In the end, they took both residents and soldiers. 351 men were taken.
The women and children were taken through the Zion Gate to Katamon. That was where we spent most of the war. The men were in captivity for nine months. Those who were injured left a little before then. My father was also in captivity. It was a very difficult period because we left our home without our possessions and remained with nothing. We lost everything. Even our clothing. We were permitted to bring one package each, but it was nearly impossible to carry a package for belongings and also all of the children. There was shelling, but no water. They were distributing food to the refugees. We are the refugees of the Old City of Jerusalem. We had no sheets or coats. Later on, they distributed them to us from UNWRA. We tucked our hands into our sweaters because we were freezing. We were worried about my father, who was still in captivity. The entire community was this way.
My father was released from captivity after nine months. The State of Israel was established throughout the war.
I returned in 1977, ten years after Jerusalem was freed by the Israeli military. […]
Our parents were born and raised in Israel. My father was in Germany for a short period but returned in 1936 to live in a Jewish village, Neve Yaakov. His parents left and went to live in the Old City. We arrived in the Old City in 1944. My father was very active in the community. After the Six-Day War, he did not want to return to live here. I was also afraid of returning. But in the end, I returned with my husband in 1977 to 17 Beit El Street. "

Minnehaha is located in Southeast Minneapolis and takes its name from the Ojibwe Indian legend told in The Song of Hiawatha, a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. The name Minnehaha means "laughing waters," and the gorgeous waterfall located in Minnehaha Park is named as such in Longfellow's poem. Along with several other neighborhoods in the south of Minneapolis, Minnehaha underwent major redevelopment in the late nineteenth century, prompted by the arrival of streetcars in the city.

Minnehaha Park is one of the oldest and most popular parks in the city, with more than half a million visitors every year. This 193 acre park is simply beautiful, with an enormous variety of trees and plants, as well as the 53-foot waterfall that gives the park its name. Minnehaha Park is also the location for several community events throughout the year.
The neighborhood has several quaint single-family lots, with this housing found mostly in Nokomis East. Most of the homes were constructed between 1920 and 1960 when the area saw its population boom. The architectural styles in the neighborhood are mini-Tudors, Bungalows and a handful of one-story ranch style homes.

By Durga Chakravarty New Delhi, April 15 (IANS) Marriage has been a fulfilling experience for actress Bipasha Basu, who will clock three years of marital bliss with actor Karan Singh Grover. She is lucky to have a husband like him because he does not believe in a man-woman divide.
Bipasha started dating Karan in 2015, and they married a year later on April 30, 2016. "It has been four years together and now it's going to be three years for our marriage. It has been beautiful. I feel that it is important that your partner is like your best friend. So, we are in complete sync everyday. We do love to spend time together. Doing everything together. It is a fulfilling experience when you come back home and there is someone waiting for you," Bipasha told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
"For a long period of my life, I have been very alone I have done everything by myself. It feels good to be pampered by him (Karan) all the time," she added. The 40-year-old actress could not stop gushing about her actor-husband, whom she first met on the sets of the horror film "Alone" in 2015.

You can hear a Steller's Jay at the end of the clip.
love the motion on the song!
so, when you do your inventory and color key, do you already have an image in your head or is this merely setting the scene for creativity? I love hearing about process.
that I decided to start by re-introducing myself to the colors I have on hand. It seemed a good idea to get used to using a paintbrush again by making a color chart.
Music has always been important to me as I am painting. The last time I did any painting (spring of 2007), I listened to a reading of "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" instead of listening to music, and the result was a series of mostly non-figurative and non-landscape-influenced color and pattern explorations. During my most productive painting period in the 1980s, I frequently listened to Bob Dylan while painting.
Right now, I don't have any images in my head.
They will come as I put color on the watercolor paper and listen to music. At least that was my experience in the past. Sometimes I try to paint something I have seen in a dream or something from my memory along with images that come up when I listen to music.
Sabine -- Sorry to hear about your recent exhaustion. I am grateful for the energy you put into your blog.
Thanks for the link to the article about Thomas W. Adorno. Van Morrison's "In the Days Before Rock and Roll" came to mind as I was thinking about how rock and roll meant so much to so many of us around the world, and now after reading about Thomas W. Adorno's ideas, I'm remembering Joni Mitchell's lyrics about the "star-making machinery behind the popular song."
Interesting to think about something as subversive as rock and roll being exported, along with Barbie dolls, from the United States as part of the "culture industry" that Adorno wrote about so perceptively.

The United States now has a travel authorization tool for its Visa Waiver program, in order to ensure visa-free travel is more secure. ESTA (the electronic system for travel authorization) lets nationals of countries that participate in the Visa Waiver program obtain their travel authorization online, in minutes, when they are planning travel to the United States.
If you are traveling to the United States as part of the Visa Waiver program and by air or by sea, you will need to apply for a travel authorization through ESTA. Travelers of all ages who have not secured a visa (infants included) should receive an authorization before traveling to the United States. Authorizations can be applied for by a third party on any traveler's behalf.
Does an approved travel authorization guarantee me admission to the United States?
Unfortunately, no. An approved travel authorization signifies that you qualify to travel to the United States as part of the Visa Waiver program, but admission to the United States will be evaluated upon your arrival by a Customs and Border Protection officer. Based on their inspection, there may be a reason to deny you admission to the United States either under the provisions of the Visa Waiver program or the laws of the United States.
You can apply for ESTA authorization immediately once you know you're going to be traveling to the United States even if you don't know your complete travel plans yet. However, the Department of Homeland Security advises that you submit your application at least 72 hours before traveling, in order to make sure your authorization is available on the date of travel.


Repetitive boilerplate code is something that haunts most developers to some degree. It's like an itch that can't be scratched. It drags you away from the flow, it messes up your code, and it blurs away the important parts.
What I love about ES6 is that it takes care of a lot of the annoying repetitive code, leaving you with a clear codebase focusing on the important parts.
I've already talked about destructuring, the syntax spread and new ways of declaring variables using let and const.
In this post, we'll continue to look at ES6 and its features by looking at 3 new ways of defining properties during object initialization.
The property shorthand is all about removing duplications.
Say we got two variables — name and age.
Now, if we would like to assign these variables to object properties with identical namings, we would have to repeat it both for the property to give the name and the value to refer to our variable.
This repetition of name and age feels a bit unnecessary, right? Well, this is what ES6 has taken care of with the property shorthand.
Another popular usage of an object is to define methods. This is done by assigning functions to the object properties.
To keep it simple, let's create two getter functions for fetching name and age.
Again, this solution becomes quite verbose.
Well, no more. In ES6 we can use syntactical sugar to make our method definitions way more concise.
The last thing we're going to look at is the possibility of computing your property names by evaluating an expression.
Say we got a function - getLo - that simply returns the string "lo".
var getLo = () => "lo"
Now let's create our property name by combining the string "hel" and the execution of getLo(), which results in the string hello.
In the old days this would be solved in two steps — first initializing the object, then use the square brackets to create a property in the object.
This is not too bad, but we can do even better with ES6 by moving the square brackets with our expression directly into the object initialization.
[ "hel" + getLo() ]: "world"


risk of hypertension is known public knowledge, what are the tips to control salt in daily life?
Chinese dietary guidelines recommended daily intake of 6 grams of salt. A bottle of beer, salt is 6 grams, 6 grams of this includes cooking salt, including pre packaged foods and various seasonings of salt; so if three meals a day to eat at home, it can be used to a day of salt with a bottle of beer, according to the actual conditions to the distribution of daily three a meal.

Ultimate Bear Survival Guide: How To Survive A Bear Attack
By Bill Steele At The End
Have you encountered a bear in the wild? Stood there nearly frozen in disbelief as a 1200lb killing machine starred what seemed to be right through you.
This guide is going to help you prepare for such a moment if it were ever to occur, we hope it never does.
Reading this guide will make you prepared to the fullest to have the highest chances of surviving a bear encounter.
This is the total guide on how to survive a bear attack. If you're ever anywhere near where bears are, you need to be prepared, here's everything you need to know.
Bear Basics
Do Bears Eat Humans
Do Bears Climb Faster Than They Run
How To Survive A Bear Attack
Chances Of Surviving A Bear Attack
Types of Bears
How To Identify a Black Bear
How Dangerous Are Black Bears
Brown, Grizzly, and Kodiak Bears
Can Grizzly Bears Climb Trees
How To Identify A Grizzly Bear
How To Identify A Polar Bear
What To Do If You Run Into A Bear
How Do You Survive A Grizzly Bear Encounter
Play Dead With a Grizzly
Scare The Bear
Must-Have Gear
Bear Gun
Bear Spray Vs Bear Gun
Avoid A Bear Attack
Block The Path
Get Your Weapon Out
First, it's worth learning some basic information and facts about bears in general so you can get a paw on how they act and behave in general. And more importantly, why they behave the way they do.
Knowing this will allow you to adjust your behavior and how to respond to an encounter if you're ever so unfortunate.
First, let's answer some of the most common questions about bears and how to prepare to survive potential attacks.
Yes, bears have eaten and do eat people.
However, what's important to know is that they don't go actively hunting for people. Nor do they necessarily want to eat you right away if they see you.
Bears are shy, believe it or not.
I remember a guy named Bruce. Bruce weighed 290lbs and was a powerlifter. Genetically gifted in muscular genetics you could say. Bruce was also shy and kept to himself. But he was defensive of his little brother. If you came between him and his little brother, Bruce would get your attention rather quickly… Bruce was similar to a bear.
If a cat sees a mouse, the cat wants that mouse for dinner right then and there. It's not the same when a bear sees a person.

Can Bears Be Friendly
That would be fun.
Technically I suppose they can. But I wouldn't risk it nor would I let someone I care about risk it either.
All those years growing up with teddy bears. The mainstream portrays bears in general as friendly fluffy creatures. This is the furthest from reality.
What Bear Is Responsible For The Most Human Deaths
According to ADN, North American Black bears were responsible for the most fatal attacks in the last century. Also, the majority of those fatal attacks were carried out by the same black bear.
So if you're still wondering…
Do Bears Attack People
Yes, they can and they do. But it's mostly if you threaten them. If they sense danger, if they sense you're a threat, they will attack.
Momma bears are extremely protective against their babies, if you threaten their babies, she will be the worst and likely the last date you'll ever have.
Most Dangerous Job
What is the most dangerous job in the world?
Many people think working with wildlife bears is the most dangerous job in the world. This is false.
Bear Fatalities
Even though bears do attack people if they feel you're digestible and are a threat. The amount of people that are killed by bears in North America is surprisingly low.
According to Bear.Org:
Black bears have killed 61 people across North America since 1900.
How Fast Can Bears Run
This is another disadvantage we have against bears and just another reason why bears dominate.
Not only are they massive and earth-shakingly strong… they're also fast as hell.
Brown Bear: Have been clocked at 40 MPH
Grizzly Bear: Up to 40 MPH. Faster than any human is capable of running. Also in any direction. Uphill downhill, doesn't matter for the grizzly.
Black Bear: Capable of reaching speeds over 30 MPH.
Polar Bear: Up to 25 MPH.
Some people wonder if you Can You Outrun A Polar Or Black Bear.
Unless you can run at least 30 MPH for a sustainable period of time, you're bear meat.
What's The Fastest Bear
The fastest kind of bear would be a black bear. Reaching speeds upwards to 40 MPH at full throttle.
A black bear can charge forward, reaching speeds up to 40 MPH.
At first, you may think, "not a chance, the question doesn't even make sense". But then you actually SEE a bear climb a tree…
…it's mind-blowing. Similar to seeing the speeds at which bears can run.
The answer is… No, a bear cannot climb a tree faster than they run. But they do shoot up trees faster than you or most creatures on the planet can.
Watch this video of a black bear skyrocketing up a tree multiple times to get away from a grizzly.
How Big Are Bears
Big… very big.
Most Black bears can grow up to around 550 lbs.
Polar bears grow up to to a whopping 1600 lbs
Most Grizzly bears can grow up to around 800 lbs. I say most because in general, that's how large they tend to get. On the other hand. There was a grizzly bear recorded at 1500 lbs. So the exception can be much larger.
Male bears are usually about 30% larger than females.
Brown bears are the largest carnivores in North America.
Brown bears are the largest carnivores in North America. Click to Tweet
Most Dangerous Bear
What is the most dangerous bear?
Grizzly and Polar bears are said to be the most dangerous. However, the numbers say otherwise.
There have been more American black bear attacks on people than grizzly and polar bear attacks.
Many wonder what are the chances of surviving an attack from a bear.
Short answer: Slim to none.
Long answer: It depends.
Are you with other people?
Do you have bear spray or a bear gun?
Do you have any supplies?
What kind of Bear is it?
Many of these factors will matter in terms of surviving a bear attack.
All bears can kill you.
All bears should be avoided at all costs.
But you should know what kind of bear you're dealing with if you were to encounter one. They all have different methods of surviving a possible attack and avoiding an attack altogether.
There are three kinds of bears that we'll focus on here. Since these three are the most common and the most likely you'll see one in the wild sooner or later.
Generally, there are four different types of bears that you're bound to encounter sooner or later. Preferably when you're in a survival tank cruising right on past it at 70MPH.
Grizzly/Kodiak
We'll talk about all 4 types, starting with the black bear.
These bears are generally smaller than the other types of bears. But you're more likely to encounter a black bear than a grizzly or brown bear.
Black bears have darker fur than other bears.
As you'll see below, brown bears can have dark fur too. But black bears do not have a hump on their shoulders.
Like the other bears, they are shy and black bears are more on the timid side.
But if they are threatened, they will defend.
Grizzlies are thought of to be the biggest and baddest bears on earth.
One of the myths about grizzly bears is that they can't climb trees like black bears. This is not true.
They are larger and have long larger claws which makes it more difficult to climb trees. But they can still climb trees. So yes, even if you manage to climb up a tree, you're still screwed.
If you encounter a black bear.
Brown bears, have either brown or darker fur. Their fur can get as dark as black bears so they can be mistaken for black bears if you're not familiar with what differentiates them.
Brown bears have a "hump" like shape on their shoulders. Black bears do not.
The hump enables brown bears to dig much more efficiently and quicker.
Contrary to their overly friendly look and white shade of fur, polar bears are at the top of the list for most aggressive bears.
This one is easy.
They're white.
Now for the nitty-gritty.
In this section, we get into how to survive an attack from each kind of bear. For all of them, you want to understand what to look for in a bear that's likely to attack. Which starts when you get a visual of the bear.
We'll talk more about that in the next section of this guide. Let's answer some common questions about bear attacks and then the specific how-to parts on each kind of bear.
Can You Fight A Bear?
Yes, when the bear is less than a month old. After that, run.
Now what do you do, what SHOULD you do if you happen to get up close and personal with one of these 1200lb death-machines.
It depends on the type of bear.
But in general, here are some guidelines to follow.
If you see the bear before he sees you. Do not run. Which is a good solid rule in general with bears.
Never run. It will make them feel like you're fleeing. It draws attention to you. It's just bad all around.
Slowly walk back. Slowly walk away. Keep going and don't stop.
Okay, here's what you do if you see a grizzly bear in the wild.
The most important thing to do is NOT panic. If you panic you won't be able to think, you won't be able to act, you won't be able to do anything except your fate and, and do that
Like surviving anything, knowing what to do is crucial so you can prepare. Preparation breeds success.
Think of it as preparing for a Bearmageddon.
Will a grizzly bear attack you? If so, what do you do when a grizzly bear attacks?
Bears attack you if they feel you're a threat. If you go near a mother bears babies, you're a threat to her and she will viciously defend her babies.
If you run away, you're not prey that is fleeing. The bear may charge at that point.
If you're cool calm and collected, it's unlikely you'll get attacked.
A common question in regards to bear survival is, Do you play dead with a grizzly bear?
Yes. If the bear charges you and isn't stopping after you've sprayed it or shot it. Play dead in the fetal position and don't move. Easier said than done, absolutely.
But the bear will only continue to attack you if you pose a threat. If you don't do anything, you're not a threat.
This is not a guarantee that the bear will stop. But your best chances for survival are if you play dead. If you fight it, kicking and screaming, it's a sure way to get mauled.
Should I Play Dead If A Bear Attacks?
It depends on the type of bear. But to give you the quick answer here.
Black: Yes.
Polar: Yes
Grizzly: Yes.
In any bear encounter, if they are about to be on top of you. Play dead, if you can.
How do you scare a bear away? Is it even possible for a man to do such a thing?
Your best chances of survival and avoiding an all-out bear attack is to scare the bear away. Yes, scare the 900lb animal away from you.
Make yourself as large as possible. Yell at it. Anything you can.
The best option is to stand your ground and hold up your arms high and scream. Anything you can do to make yourself appear larger and taller.
This guy in this video does it perfectly. video
That's likely to be the outcome if you follow these instructions. If you can control yourself and resist the urge to run.
If you have a firearm which I really hope you would, just in case. Fire a couple of rounds into the air first before resulting to ANIMATED BEAR NAME the animal.
You scare them by doing what this guy did.
Bear Attack Survival Video
WARNING: Shocking bear attack video
Go here to see the video on surviving a bear attack.
There's a lot of gear for hunters out there. Tons of gadgets and gizmos, but that's part of the fun. When it comes to bear territory, you don't want to have fun… well maybe a little.
You don't want to think about fun, you want to be prepared.
Be so well prepared as if you're life depends on it. Because when it comes to bears, it does.
There are one of two at an absolute minimum that you want to carry with you if there's even the slightest chance of being near a bear, any kind of bear. The first one is bear spray.
Always pack and carry with you bear spray. Always.
This bear spray is one of the highest quality sprays out there.
You can also get a bear gun. There are downsides to carrying a bear gun and not carrying bear spray. See why below.
This is one of the topics that has generated one or two heated debates over the years.
Here's what I say.
We're talking about an animal that can kill you in a matter of seconds…
…that you can't escape from either unless you have a survival tank or bug out vehicle close by. VERY close by because odds are you won't even be able to make it 10 feet before the 1100lb behemoth racing at 40 mph catches you.
With that being said. If you know you're going to be in an environment where bears exist. Brong both bear spray and a bear gun. If you can
But what if you had to chose one? Yes, that would be the next question, wouldn't it?
Here's the deal.
They both have pros and cons.
Bear spray has been proven to be effective multiple times. So we know that it works. But it's also not a guarantee. Some conditions have to apply.
The weather is a factor in whether or not it has the best chance to get the bear to back down. If mother nature isn't on your side at the time you need, instead of the bear getting a face full of agonizing spray. The spray could be blown right back into your face. Which could make you completely defenseless.
Also, with bear spray. You don't have to practice every day shooting targets to improve your precision. It doesn't require practice.
The bear gun does.
Go here for more information on the pros and cons of bear spray vs bear gun.
Avoiding a bear attack all together sounds like a better option than surviving one. So how do you avoid a bear attack?
The non-serious answer but still good advice is, don't go anywhere near where there are bears in the wild.
Well, that makes sense, but that's not what this guide is for.
You're a hunter, a camper, a survivalist. You go where bears are roaming the hills and getting fish from the rivers. It's very possible that you may one day come face to face with one.
To avoid a bear encounter, there are a few things you can do to decrease your odds of an attack, but not many.
RELATED: Also, go here to see the rules for avoiding wildlife encounters.
Be aware of the distance between you and the bear. You want to be fully aware of how far the bear is from you. They can close the distance between you and him blazingly quickly.
A couple of seconds of distraction and the bear could have closed the distance by half.
If the bear is closing distance, use anything you have to block the path between you and him. Whether it's your bag, pack, logs if you can find any or any other materials.
If you can tell that you're at 50-70 yards, it's time to take out your weapon. Whether it's spray, firearm, or a whiffle ball bat. Whatever you have, it's time to take it out.
If you have spray or a firearm. At 50-70 yards, let off a warning shot. If the bear proceeds to come toward you, let off another warning shot.
If the bear charges you. Empty everything you have at it.
Universally, here's what you want to do in addition to the above things we just talked about.
Don't look it in the eye, it provokes them.
Talk to it but in a low tone. What do you say? Doesn't matter much, just low tone.
Don't make sudden movements. Step back slowly.
Here's the bottom line. A bear encounter is your worst nightmare in physical form. Avoid at all costs, unless your bowhunting bears.
At the very least, get some bear spray and remember to pack it if you're going hunting, camping, or anywhere near the possibility of a bear encounter. Don't take any chances.

I've been playing with OpenWRT on my alix 2D13 board for about 8 months now. Its a decent enough Linux router distro with some very handy scripting that makes it quite functional. Unfortunately, the x86 platform doesn't receive as much attention as I would like so I started looking at FreeBSD 9, specifically, a nanobsd build to put on the alix. For comparison purposes I ran some performance numbers on the alix using a Smartbits test tool. I ran some basic "drag strip" type tests to get an idea of the raw routing performance of each.
With OpenWRT, just routing between two interfaces, no firewall, nat, or other features the alix 2D13 moved around 32,000 frames per second at a 64 byte frame size.
With FreeBSD, on the same alix board, just routing between two interface, no firewall, nat, or other features, the alix 2D13 moved 47,000 frames per second, again at a 64 byte frame size.
Damn, that's an impressive gain just by changing the OS. I've tried several different builds of OpenWRT, including the newest trunk, and I can't get the numbers above 32k frames/sec.
Needless to say, I'm working on porting my OpenWRT configuration over to FreeBSD. I'm impressed both with its performance and the completeness of the nanobsd package.

This article is related to Java, ActiveX, and VCL editions.
Active Query Builder is intended to build, parse and analyze SQL queries, but not to execute them in any way. This means that you can load metadata from several databases at once into the component's metadata container, and the component will be able to build a query using these objects (by the rules of specific syntax provider).
Thus, if you add objects from several databases of a single MS SQL Server, this server will be able to execute this query. But if you'll try to add an object from several servers not linked with each other, no one can run this query.
Some database servers (ex. MS SQL, Oracle) allow to link tables and entire databases from other servers and execute SQL queries against them.
The other way is to analyze the query, then execute it by parts against respective database servers and combine their results. It is not easy to implement, but I know that some of our customers have dealt successfully with this task.
To load metadata from different databases, use the QueryBuilder.MetadataContainer.LoadMetadataByMask method.
This method accepts three parameters: Object name mask, Schema name mask and Database name. First two parameters are used for metadata filtration. These masks act exactly as the LIKE operator, so passing '%' value to these parameter instructs the component to load all names. Database name could be omitted when loading metadata from the default database.
To load metadata from different servers, follow the steps below.
Set the WorkOffine (OfflineMode in .NET Edition) property to True.
Set the right syntax and metadata providers for a database server.
Load Metadata from the database using the LoadMetadataByMask method.
Repeat steps 2-5 for all subsequent databases from which you want to extract metadata.
After that,you can save all metadata to the XML file and use it afterward.


Think, Lead, Grow | Did Bentley just ship Records Management for ProjectWise?
Home » ALIM » Did Bentley just ship Records Management for ProjectWise?
Thanks for that Al. I like the idea of melding the two ("replacing" is not the right term, sorry…).
I understand some of the business drivers such as existing client base. I guess after having a look at eB and dealing with trying to bring an engineering firm into the fold with ProjectWise, I see eB as having much more potential long-term. That is not to say that it fits the bill right now (it doesn't) but with a bit more capability….. Wow.
Yeah…overstating this a little, but ProjectWise does one thing (manages design work-in-progress…and that very well) eB is a real chameleon and can provide a wide variety of roles across the whole asset lifecycle. I've seen many orgs deploy eB for one thing, then begin to systematically replace system after system.
The two systems do fill two very different needs, for now.
eB overlaps ProjectWise in many areas, and far surpasses it in other key areas that I consider to be shortcomings of ProjectWise on today's engineering projects.
What is the long-term plan for the two systems? Given the age of ProjectWise and the capability of eB, it would not be a stretch in my mind to see the end of ProjectWise in favor of eB alone.
Both have capabilities that the other doesn't so deprecating one over the other isn't a great option. Keep in mind that thousands of orgs use ProjectWise, while hundreds use eB. You're already starting to see the approach to melding the two together with the availability of Bentley Transmittal Service. Note the "Bentley" in the name. While it works with ProjectWise, underlying it is the document control engine of eB. Interestingly, eB doesn't yet use it, but that's the plan. Then you'll have single transmittal service regardless of which you have…ProjectWise or eB.
If you extend that, you can imagine other "services" like workflow, project, CADD integration, markup, data management, etc. At some point you have a presentation layer to a set of services, and one that has to be far more role-based in it's configurability than either is today.
Since I deal with both, I don't have a dog in the hunt. So I vote…neither…and both. Both evolve into a platform that is leveraged by a wide range of Bentley (and other) products…for a wide range of use cases.
And I'll thrown in another…Bentley Connect…watch this space to see how we can leverage the same modular concepts in a SaaS environment that connects with the OnPremise services.
