28 May, 2018 | Birding in the Languedoc, Top birds
The Bonelli's eagle is a top predator from the Languedoc. This eagle doesn't migrate, but the young birds move around before settling to breed.
It's a medium size eagle with a wingspan of about 165 cm. The Bonelli's eagle can be identified by their rather short but broad and rounded wings and longish tail. Adults have a white patch on their back between their dark wings. From below, the body is white with dark flecks and the underwings are dark. From a distance the silhouette in flight is rather similar to adult Honey buzzard although it can also be confused with Short-toed eagle, due to the pale body colour. Their body is however, bigger in proportion compared to other eagles.

The Bonelli's eagle habitat, breeding and feeding
The Bonelli's eagle can be found in the hilly parts with rocky walls open to wooded land in the Languedoc. Outside breeding season young birds can descend to lowlands. It starts breeding in March and eggs will hatch in the beginning of April. Adults often hunt in pairs flying close to each other along the cliffs and mountain ridges. The Bonelli's eagle is capable of tremendous stoops, similar to booted eagle, especially when hunting birds, which are often taken in flight. Their main prey consists Pigeons, Red legged partridges and rabbits.

There are about 30 breeding pairs of Bonelli's eagles in France. A very Mediterranean species they are known locally as the "Lord of the Garrigue", where they hunt Red-legged partridge and Pigeons amongst other prey.
Population trends for the Bonelli's eagle
The Bonelli eagle is a protected species on the IUCN red list.
The population is declining drastically throughout its range owing to over-use of pesticides, habitat degradation, loss of prey species, collision with power lines and persecution by hunters and pigeon fanciers (Ferguson-Lees and Christie 2001, Barov and Derhé 2011). However in Europe the population size is currently stable.

Seven sets of examples (2013–14) exploring the impact of public involvement in research. Each series offers a different perspective of impact:
Keith Wilson, Patient Ambassador talking about his experience of public involvement at the Liverpool Heart and Chest Hospital
Twelve examples of impact case studies reporting public involvement in research submitted to the Research Excellence Framework (REF) 2014 Medical and Health Sciences Panels.
Five examples of how and why NIHR Senior Investigators have involved patients and the public in their work. The 2014 publication has a foreword from Sally Davies, Chief Medical Officer and Chief Scientific Adviser, Department of Health and an introduction from Simon Denegri, Chair of INVOLVE and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) National Director for Public Participation and Engagement in Research.
Ten examples of public involvement in National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) research funding applications drawn from a broad range of studies across the NIHR. This 2013 series illustrates the uniqueness of the public involvement in each study, the researchers describe how they involved members of the public and the difference it made to their application.
Six examples on the impact on research quality from invoNET members in 2013. They offer a range of different perspectives on public involvement in research, and describe quite different approaches to research.
Five examples of public involvement in studies funded by NIHR Evaluation, Trials and Studies Programme.
Nine examples of the use of social media for active public involvement in research. These examples are drawn from a range of different research projects and report on the use of Twitter, Facebook, blogs and interactive websites. They complement the 2014 document Guidance on the use of social media to actively involve people in research
See also social care examples described in Turning the Pyramid Upside Down (2010) and User Controlled examples in Changing Our Worlds: Examples of User Controlled Research in action (2010).
INVOLVE has long been interested in gathering evidence about the impact of public involvement on research. In 2005 INVOLVE established invoNET as a network for researchers and others interested in developing evidence and learning about the impact of public involvement on research. Our Evidence library contains references of published articles that consider the impact or the nature and extent of public involvement in research. In 2010 we launched a joint funding call on public involvement in research funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) through INVOLVE and delivered by the NIHR Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) programme managed by NIHR Evaluations, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC). The call was seeking primary research to develop the evidence base and enhance our understanding, knowledge and learning on public involvement in research.
The evidence that we have to date suggests that public involvement can make positive contributions to research (Ennis, 2013, Brett, 2010). The structured literature review of the evidence funded by INVOLVE in 2009 (Staley, 2009), reported that public involvement in research can influence the research topics and direction of research, project design and methods, recruitment and data collection, analysis and dissemination. Public involvement can also positively impact on the people involved in the research.
Staley makes a plea for producing guidance on how to report on the impact of involvement in journal articles and reports; finding more consistent and robust ways of assessing impact; and helping researchers and the public to find the most useful ways of telling the 'story of involvement'. A similar recommendation was made by the authors of the 2010 systematic review which they followed up by proposing a 'GRIPP' checklist for reporting involvement (Staniszweska, 2011), and more recently by the Public Involvement Impact Assessment Framework (PiiAF) Study (Popay et al, 2013).

A Practitioner's Inquiry into Vocabulary Building Strategies for Native Spanish Speaking ELLs in Inquiry-Based Science
Williams, R. T.; Pringle, Rose M.; Kilgore, K. L.
Research in Science Education , v49 n4 p989-1000 Aug 2019
The increase in global migration and the prioritization of English as an international language have resulted in science learning environments that include students whose primary language differs from the language of instruction. This worldwide phenomenon is not limited to geographical regions but occurs where diverse populations representing languages, cultures, ethnicities, and nationalities exist. English Language Learners (ELLs) in these classrooms face the task of learning science while learning to comprehend and participate in the discourse of science. Science teachers must therefore be strategic in providing experiences that will facilitate the development of ELLs' literacy skills to do and engage science learning. We present how one middle school science teacher, engaging in practitioner inquiry, tapped into the potential of deliberate cognate instruction to support the learning of science vocabulary within the context of inquiry-based science teaching. The 7th grade teacher adapted a graphic organizer that served to focus on ELLs learning core ideas and through deliberate cognate instruction connected their Spanish language to English. Cognates, in conjunction with other teaching strategies, proved to be an effective way for the simultaneous learning of disciplinary content knowledge and vocabulary words. The knowledge generated from this practitioner inquiry had immediate impact and though not generalizable can offer insights beyond this immediate classroom. The Spanish-English cognate was a viable tool in bridging the language differences; however, we acknowledge that limitations will occur in classrooms where the languages may not have common roots to support cognate instructions.

Airline Maintenance Control Centre
By Steve Allison
When it comes to at the airline business, we think of pilots, shiny aircraft proudly bearing the company livery but there is so much that goes on behind the scenes to keep the aircraft not only in the air but on time too.
One of the seldom heard of departments working tirelessly around the clock to make sure that aircraft depart on schedule is the Maintenance Control Centre (MCC). The MCC runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week operation to ensure safe serviceable aircraft remains on schedule.
Aviation is the most safety conscious industry in the world and as a result air travel remains the safest means transport. The reason that it is so safe is due in part to the meticulous maintenance regime and the fact that aircraft don't take off even with the most minor defect. The balance between ultimate safety and maintaining reliable schedules is where MCC come in. Sure they do a lot more than that but the instant decision-making and fault diagnostics is what keeps the team on their toes.
Should a warning appear in the cockpit while an aircraft is in the air, the crews go through a checklist and consult the operations manual. Once they have completed their check and assuming that the problem hasn't been solved, they contact MCC. The MCC technician uses his wealth of experience to diagnose the fault. On the ground of course, there is much more information available in the form of comprehensive maintenance manuals and IT systems.
Modern Aircraft have electronic manuals, which not only help with fault diagnosis but also offer solutions to rectify a problem. Together with the technicians high level of training and expertise a solution can be found quickly. A pilot may in the interests of safety turn back should a fault occur was it not for MCC being able to offer advice and solutions.
Very often the fault can be rectified and the flight can carry on as normal. There are circumstances where the fault cannot actually be rectified but the technician; having in depth knowledge of the aircraft systems can access whether the fault compromises safety. The technician will never ever compromise safety but often he knows that a minor fault will not affect the operation of the aircraft and advise the flight deck crew to continue to the destination.
Often a fault has nothing to do with the operation of the aircraft but more to do with passenger comfort. A blocked toilet or an inoperative galley item for example, will inconvenience passengers. The crew always aims to offer the best service and will contact MCC for advice. Should the fault not be rectified the MCC technician will contact technicians at the aircrafts destination to ensure that the fault is repaired before the return flight leaves.
Should a problem be detected on the ground the flight deck crew get in touch with MCC and try to find a solution so that the flight is not delayed. The MCC technician again will never compromise safety and can only offer pilots advice. The Captain will ultimately make the decision as to whether the flight can depart anyway, or not.
So, what kind of person works at MCC you might ask? Well, these are very special individuals. They have to be the most highly qualified technicians that have worked their way through the ranks and are familiar with all aircraft types. Not only that, they have to be the type of people that remain calm in a crisis and yet will not be pushed around by other people. They need to be logical and clear thinking and on top of that they must be prepared to work shifts.
The Maintenance Control Centre works closely with the Operation Control Centre, planning, hangar staff and flight deck crew among others. Not only do they respond to events as they happen on a daily basis, the also co-ordinate longer term maintenance. Should a problem occur that would result in an aircraft being withdrawn from service, MCC is involved in the process of finding a replacement quickly enough for minimum interruption to the flight schedules.
Like the old advert used to say, one day without really knowing us, you really need us. That's the way it is for the Maintenance Control Centre.

Q: Passing parameter to IN SQL statement I collected some values to be looked up from a DB column inside a string variable and was trying to pass this as a parameter in the SQL StoredProcedure.
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[InkDB]
(
@ser nvarchar(255),
@svt nvarchar(255)
)
AS
SELECT DISTINCT Details from tbData WHERE (Name IN @svt AND Address=@ser)

This gives me a syntax error near @svt message while trying to run the query.
From my webpage, the parameter has value something like ('PersonA', 'Person B', 'Person C') that is being passed. How do I use the IN statement in this case?

A: I would do it with XML. Could not find this solution in the duplicate question so I add it here.
Your SP could look like this:
alter procedure InkDB
  @ser nvarchar(255),
  @svt xml
as

declare @T table
(
  Name nvarchar(50)
)

insert into @T
select T.N.value('.', 'nvarchar(50)')
from @svt.nodes('/N') as T(N)

select distinct Details
from tbData
where Name in (select Name from @T) and
      Address=@ser

And you would call it like this.
exec InkDB '', '<N>PersonA</N><N>PersonB</N>'

A:
Dynamic Query

Alter procedure test
(
    @ser nvarchar(255),
    @svt nvarchar(255)
)
AS
BEGIN
   declare @sql nvarchar(Max)

   Set @sql='SELECT DISTINCT semester_code from mst_paper WHERE course_code IN ('+@svt+') AND branch_code='+@ser+''

   exec sp_executesql @sql
END

A: Its a common mistake - you are passing a single value (expression) of type string to IN operator but IN expects a comma delimited list of values (expressions) and not a single string variable.
What you need to do here is to have a function that would split the given parameter into a multiple values based on given delimiter and then use that list with IN keyword. For example,
SELECT DISTINCT Details from tbData WHERE Name IN (SELECT Val FROM dbo.efn_Split(@svt, ',')) AND Address=@ser

where efn_Split is a table value function that will split comma-separated values into a table. See these various SO questions for implementation of such function:
Split function equivalent in T-SQL?
How to split string using delimiter char using T-SQL?
Yet another alternative is to construct the SQL statement and execute with sp_executesql.

A: IN needs to be as follows:
... IN (@param1, @param2, ...)
So, you should do:
SELECT DISTINCT Details from tbData WHERE Name IN (@svt) AND Address=@ser

Update:
The alter procedure statement you provided in your question is syntactically incorrect. My answer provides the correct syntax for writing the statement and it compiles.
Reading your question over again, I see you have in fact have two issues. The first was a syntax error and the second passing in a comma delimited list in a single parameter.
The answer is you simply cannot provided a comma delimited list of values at runtime into a single string type parameter that is used in the IN (...) clause. Now, on this second point, I would argue that this is not a good design/programming approach to the problem, but it can be done using dynamic SQL or parsing out each value from the string parameter, store them into a temp table then revise your query to join to that, or use a (or use a table valued function and store the parsed items there, where it can be queried from.
Below is the corrected syntax for your code, but it would not solve the second aspect of passing in a string containing a comma delimited list of values. That could be solved as I described above.
For the syntax error, first, you can create a dummy table to test your code. Note, a typical database table should have a primary key. This is strictly a dummy table to test the statement:
CREATE TABLE TbData(
        Name nvarchar(255),
        Details nvarchar(255),
        Address nvarchar(255)
    );
Then, you can create the initial stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE Test
    (
        @ser nvarchar(255),
        @svt nvarchar(255)
    )
    AS
    BEGIN
    SELECT DISTINCT Details FROM tbData WHERE Name IN (@ser) AND Address = @svt
    END
And finally, execute the alter stored procedure statement you had asked about:
ALTER PROCEDURE Test
    (
        @ser nvarchar(255),
        @svt nvarchar(255)
    )
    AS
    BEGIN
    SELECT DISTINCT Details FROM tbData WHERE Name IN (@ser) AND Address = @svt
    END

British-Fijian SAS war Hero -Talaiasi Labalaba
May 21, 2016 Blog, History, SAS, WarBAC Strikemaster Mk82a, Battle of Mirbat, Black SAS hero, Mirbat Castle, SAS, Sekonaia Takavesi, Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba, Talaiasi Labalaba, Tommy Tobinbelfastchildis
Talaiasi Labalaba
Talaiasi Labalaba BEM (13 July 1942 – 19 July 1972), who initially served in the British Army in the Royal Irish Rangers, was a British-Fijian Sergeant in B Squadron 22nd British SAS unit involved in the Battle of Mirbat on 19 July 1972.
Mirbat Castle, site of the Battle of Mirbat
SAS Hero: Tribute To Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba
Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba with Omani children in Oman
Labalaba, aged 30, was shot dead whilst firing a 25-pounder gun at the attacking guerrilla forces.
He displayed notable bravery by continuing to fire the 25 pounder single handed in spite of being seriously wounded when a bullet hit him on the jaw, after his Omani loader was seriously wounded early in the battle.
Captain Mike Kealy, fellow troopers Tommy Tobin and Sekonaia Takavesi ran a gauntlet of enemy fire but arrived too late to save Labalaba. Both the troopers were also hit,
Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba (left) and Sgt Sekonaia Takavesi (Right)
Takavesi was wounded in the back and Tobin was killed when a round crept through the sand-bagged walls and hit him in the face. Labalaba's actions helped to keep the insurgents pinned down until Strikemaster jets of the SOAF arrived to drive back the attackers while reinforcements from Salalah could be organised.
BAC Strikemaster Mk82a
Fellow SAS trooper Roger Cole in his book of the battle, SAS: Operation Storm, paid tribute to Labalaba saying if the guerrilla force had taken the 25-pounder then the SAS would have surely lost the battle.
Labalaba was awarded a posthumous Mention in Dispatches for his actions in the Battle of Mirbat, although some of his former comrades have campaigned for him to be awarded a posthumous Victoria Cross. His body was returned to England and buried in the cemetery at St Martin's Church, Hereford.
Grave of Sgt. T. Labalaba BEM, Special Air Service
In 2012 he was chosen as one of BBC Radio 4's 60 New Elizabethans in celebration of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee
He was fighting a secret and brutal war in a dusty land far from home.
But while the 1972 clash between British forces and Communist rebels in Oman has long passed into history, the actions of Sergeant Talaiasi Labalaba have not.
Instead, the Fijian soldier's exemplary courage under fire places him high on the pantheon of SAS heroes
Labalaba is remembered to this day. Next month, a statue of the soldier will be unveiled at SAS headquarters in Hereford in the run-up to Remembrance Sunday.
And in a week when the British National Party was accused of appropriating the British military for their own ends – and airbrushing ethnic minority personnel from history – his story seems particularly poignant.
The sergeant and his nine-strong SAS unit were part of a clandestine mission to protect the Sultan of Oman from the People's Front for the Liberation of the Occupied Arab Gulf.
By July 1972, they had been in the country for a year and the assignment – codenamed Operation Jaguar – appeared to be going well.
But then the rebels stuck back. On the morning of July 19, around 250 elite fighters stormed MIrbat, a small town on the Arabian sea, leaving the SAS pinned down inside a fort.
As his comrades fought an increasingly desperate battle to hold off 250 insurgents, it dawned on Labalaba, 30, that they were about to be overrun.
With no cover and facing certain death, he sprinted across 800 metres of exposed ground to reach a 25-pound field-gun.
It was a brave – but apparently futile manouevre – as the huge weapon took three men to operate.
That, however, did not deter Labalaba. Nor did facial injuries which would have rendered a lesser man helpless.
As British forces watched in astonishment, Labalaba turned the cumbersome gun on the enemy and opened fire at near point blank range.
Prejudice: Walter Tull was made a second lieutenant despite a ban on the commissioning of soldiers with 'Asiatic or negroid features'
He went on for six hours, decimating the rebels and ultimately paying for his courage with his life.
His comrades found him slumped face down by the massive gun. His selfless actions undoubtedly saved many of the British soldiers holed up inside the fort and won him a posthumous Mention in Despatches.
For many, his statue will be a long-overdue memorial to one of the SAS's greatest heroes.
It is also some small recompense to thousands of ethnic minority servicemen, many from Commonwealth countries, who feel their courage and devotion has not been recognised in the same way as their white counterparts.
Labalaba and his comrade Trooper Sekonaia Takavesi, a fellow Fijian who rushed to his aid after he was wounded, are two of the most celebrated examples.
But there are countless others.
Among those are Second Lieutenant Walter Tull, born in Kent but the son of a former Barbados slave, who volunteered for the army just a week after the declaration of World War One.
He survived many battles, was the first British Army black officer to take charge of white troops and eventually died on the Western Front in 1918.
Tull's career, however, was blighted by prejudice.
Despite being recommended for the Military Cross for 'gallantry and coolness under fire', he never received it.
Senior officers had defied a rule which prevented soldiers with 'Asiatic or negroid features' being commissioned to make Tull a second lieutenant.

Reblogged this on Belfast Child.


For a message on Being A Spouse at Riverview Church, I produced this piece looking at one couple's incredibly hard journey over the last eight years. The struggle in putting together this piece was to condense their full story and hour long interview into a manageable piece that was still true to the essence of who they are and what they want to say.
During the service, the video was split into two piece to form bookends around the pastor's message. The effect was quite strong as the first video finished and a deafening silence hung in the auditorium.


Listen to another conversation with Alfred, then bounce from the roof (temporary you can't use the Batmobile) and glide towards the main plant of Poison Ivy. Once you reach your destination, interact with the plant and you will meet with Poison Ivy. After watching the cutscene in which the poisonous cloud will be neutralized, wait until Alfred makes contact with Batman. He will give you an opportunity to participate in some optional quests, but if you want, you can ignore them and continue the progression in the main storyline.

Q: Is wget or similar programs always available on POSIX systems? Is there an HTTP client like wget/lynx/GET that is distributed by default in POSIX or *nix operating systems that could be used for maximum portability?
I know most systems have wget or lynx installed, but I seem to remember installing some Ubuntu server systems using default settings and they had neither wget or lynx installed in the base package.
I am writing a shell script for Linux (and probably Mac) to install a piece of software onto the computer.  To prevent having to distribute a couple of large files, I would like to fetch these files from the internet instead of packaging in with the installer.  Currently, the install script is to be distributed in a single file created from Makeself.
I'd like to avoid having the install script be over 100 MB which it would be if the files were included, and also they may not be required if the person is upgrading or re-installing the software.  Maybe the most portable thing to do is include the files in the pacakage.
Right now I am just thinking of having the script check for wget, lynx, and GET, in that order and it will use whichever one it can for downloading, but I could avoid this altogether if there was a way I could download the files that would work on all systems.
EDIT:
Does anyone know much about lwp-request (GET) and its availability?  This seems to be readily available on several of the systems I have checked so far, and I remember this always being around 10+ years ago going back to RedHat.

A: Curl is probably even more common than wget. At least in my experience merely because more other tools depend on it. But both curl and wget are a super simple install and will be available on any system.

A: gnu awk (gawk) has built in TCP handeling even on non-linux systems http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawkinet/html_node/

A: Edit in 2019-11-04: I'm rewriting my answer to reflect the importance of ensuring that a transfer isn't tampered with while in flight. I'll leave my original answer below the rule.
I suggest using rsync over ssh to transfer your files. rsync's interface may look overwhelming, but most users may be able to pick rsync -avzP, and if you need more flexibility, rsync can adapt. Using ssh will provide integrity, authenticity, and privacy to your connection.
curl is the de facto standard for http transfers; if plain http or https are preferred, curl or tools based on curl are probably a good choice.

In my experience, tools are available about in this order:

*

*wget

*curl

*sftp

*ftp

*GET (I use HEAD all the time and often forget it is just one tool in the suite)

*tftp

*nc (not as common as I wish)

*socat (even less common)

The bash /dev/tcp tool is available on most systems I've used (some used dash or pdksh instead), but using echo with bash, nc, or socat is going the long-way-around for HTTP access -- you'll have to handle headers somehow, which reduces its elegance.

A: Official list of POSIX 7 utilities
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/contents.html
The following are not present in the list:

*

*wget

*curl

*ftp

The same goes for the LSB which essentially only guarantees the POSIX utilities.
But I do think that the POSIX C is enough to implement most of netcat functionality, so it is really a missed opportunity. E.g.: How to make an HTTP get request in C without libcurl?
Likely it is because network protocols like HTTP were deemed too specific/didn't exist at the time POSIX was still evolving, and POSIX basically froze forever. Notably, HTTPS encryption is likely not trivial to implement.

A: I suggest using ftp or wget, as they are the most common in Linux distributions. The best practice might be to have your script look to see if a command is available, if not go to the next command.

A: Ready-made (auto-detect) script
I wrote a Posix-compliant Shell function, which can also be used as a command:

The sperm presentation...and that other presentation I'd rather forget about.
Jeez Louise...I can't believe there is only one more week of school left. What the...?
I also can't believe my genetics presentation went okay today. At the beginning of the semester I was really struggling with that class, because I don't have a genetics background at all, but as the months have passed I've really come to enjoy the subject. It's very useful stuff to know.
Anyhow, it's one of those classes that has some undergrads and some grad students in it, and we 6 grad students had to do secondary research projects and make presentations about them this week. The topic was flexible; we could research anything as long as it had some kind of human genetics component. At first I thought I'd continue with my wisdom tooth paper and look at the genetics of prognathism, but that was getting a little dull, so I switched my topic and picked the most ridiculous thing I could think of.
Sperm, of course.
So my project was about hominine (chimp, bonobo, gorilla, and human) mating systems and the homologous genes (SEMG1, SEMG2, and TGM4) between these species that code for cross-linking proteins (semenogelin 1 and semenogelin 2) and enzymes (hTGP) that coagulate to form copulatory plugs, which vary in softness or hardness between species. Chimps and bonobos have firm copulatory plugs, whereas gorillas have none at all, and humans apparently have a barely-there, semisoft one, "like a copulatory booger," I explained to the class. This was one of my slides:
It was great fun giving this presentation. The class seemed to think so, too, considering they were laughing quite a bit. And at the end, during question time, there were so many comments and questions about different genetic and evolutionary aspects of sex that my question time was longer than my speech. But it was fun, I thought. I didn't mind being in that hotseat at all, because we were discussing one of my absolute favorite subjects. When I was finally done, everyone clapped enthusiastically and one person even shouted, "Wooo!"
But I had to remind myself that just because the class found it entertaining, doesn't mean the professor liked the science behind it or thought it was a decent graduate-level project. So maybe I only got a B or a C...or worse. I don't know.
All I know was that this genetics presentation went waaaaaaayyyyy better than my paleobiology presentation on Tuesday. Man, that was a pure train wreck. You know how huge disasters like Chernobyl and the BP oil spill always seem to be the culmination of 1000 small things that went wrong? Like a series of minor mistakes and circumstances that all add up to a colossal failure? My paleo presentation was like that. And you know how when you've done something really embarrassing and your insides are just melting with self-loathing? And every time you think of it you just want to shoot yourself? It was like that, too.
Oh, Hope, you're just exaggerating, my imagined audience says.
Dude, I'm so not. Here, why don't I just lay it all out for you on the Internet:
When, on the first day of paleobiology, I learned that we had to come up with a research project and do a presentation on it at the end of the semester, I was not alarmed, as I've done several of those types of presentations before. And in my previous life as an undergrad, I'd seen dozens upon dozens of these types of presentations, and I saw no cause for concern.
At that time I was, like I said earlier, really struggling with that genetics class, so I always put that first, and this paleo thing always came second or third on my list of school work. Did I mention I fucking hate(d) this paleo class?
As the semester went on, I would occasionally chat with my paleo classmates about how their project was going. "Hm, it's not going so good," they'd say, or "I don't have a project yet."
Wow, really? Okay.
So finally I got my ass in gear and started working on this project, and I wanted to do something with primates and facial expression, and one of the class profs just kind of handed me an idea for a project, and it didn't sound that interesting, but I thought, "Alright, let's just do this project and get it over with because this class makes me want to scoop my eyes out with a melon baller."
By that time, I had a handle on my genetics class, and I was workin' all hard on this paleo project every single day, early in the morning and late into the night, doing a shit ton of readings, measuring my skulls, and watching SPSS tutorials on YouTube so I could remember how to use that stinking program; it's been so long since I've done stats on anything. And I even volunteered to present on Day 1 of presentations, just because I wanted to get it over with ASAP.
So I made my little PowerPoint slides. Not that I wanted to, because PowerPoint is so overused and abused and ubiquitous, but it was required for this paleo presentation. So, I followed the advice I'd always been told regarding PowerPoints, which had served me well in the past. And that advice was: Don't have too many slides--no more than one per minute. Don't blather or go on tangents and don't use too much jargon. Be concise and brief. Don't type your speech onto your slides and then read off your slides because that's boring and redundant. You're a presenter, not a PowerPoint narrator. The slideshow is your helper/sidekick--not the star of the show.
So I had my simple little 7-slide presentation and my paper notes, and I went to class as usual. And who was there, aside from the two class profs and my classmates, but the department chair and several other grad students who came to watch just for fun. Oh, goodie!
And the first student presented and had dozens of charts and graphs and slides, and I thought, "Wow, that's a really detailed, extensive project. They must've carried that over from another class."
Then the second student went, and their project was even more super-detailed and complicated and hyper-advanced and crammed with dozens of slides full of charts and graphs and stats, and I was scheduled to go after them. And that's when it dawned on me that I everything I'd been told about PowerPoints did not apply to the sciences, and that I was in seriously deep shit and that my presentation was about to go over like a lead balloon.
So student #2 finished, and it was my turn. And walking up there, just having realized that my presentation was total crap--too short, too simple, and inadequate in every way--was what I imagine stepping up to the gallows is like.
But what could I do at that point? I couldn't leave. I couldn't feign sudden illness. So I picked up the little slide clicker thing and fumbled through this short, tiny, pathetic presentation and looked like a complete fuckhead in front of some of the most famous people in anthropology. Oh, and by the way, my stats were all wrong, so my conclusion was wrong too.
Nice way to justify that big fat fellowship I was given, right?
And then I went home and crawled into bed and pulled the covers up over my head and went to sleep, wondering if I should ever show my face at school again.
I spent a lot of time the next day trying to pinpoint exactly how and why this had happened, and contemplating what to do with my new Dumb Kid status. I was afraid to go work in my office even, because what if someone from that paleo class saw me and thought, "Oh look, Dumb Girl is in her office. Heh, what is she doing in there, clicking on random buttons in SPSS?"
Well, I did go to my office and worked, but I just closed the door.
I know...I'm such a little turd. Be quiet.
So I was extremely happy my sperm presentation was well received, at least by the other students. Of course that project turned out better, because I enjoyed the topic. Research always turns out better when you're truly interested in what you're studying. I'll try to remember that when I fail paleo and have to take it all over again next year.

The original Shelter Island Golf Links was built in the 1890s by an unknown architect on property known as the Dering Farm. It is, without a doubt, one of the oldest courses in the United States. In 1915, the 18-hole facility was renamed the Manhasset Club and, at that time, offered a casino as well as outdoor activities. In 1926, it was once more renamed The Dering Harbor Club. However, in 1942, the club was closed and lima beans planted to support the war effort. In 1948, the property was restored to its original purpose and given its current name. The course measures 6,359 yards from its longest tees and has a par value of 70, a rating of 69.3 and a slope of 121. It is challenging and interesting from the first hole to the last and may very well be the best private golf value on the East End. Golfers of all levels will enjoy both the game and the scenic views along this tranquil course. They will also appreciate dining indoors in the new clubhouse facilities or on the lovely terraces. Catering services are available for special occasions.

Below is a list of commonly asked questions and answers regarding the Kitfox and Kitfox Aircraft LLC.
What exactly is a Kitfox airplane?
The Kitfox is a 2 seat side-by-side aircraft that has truly amazing handling characteristics and is just as comfortable in the back country bush flying as it is flying cross country into some of the busiest airspace. What is the gross weight of a Kitfox?
The current Kitfox has been structurally tested at 1550 lbs gross weight at +6g and -3g Load Limit. The Kitfox can easily be operated within the LSA limit of 1320 lb gross. Not concerned about LSA? Use the full 1550 lb gross weight limit and have upwards of an 800 lb useful load.
Does the Kitfox qualify for Light Sport Aircraft (LSA)? (What is a Light Sport Aircraft?)
Absolutely ! The current Kitfox can be operated at the 1320 lb gross weight when on gear and the 1430 lb gross when on floats. It can also be converted from floats, to skis, to tail wheel or to Tricycle gear.. Your choice. Can I get flight training in a kitplane that I own?
Absolutely ! Check out our Flight Training page.
Do you have turn-key Factory Built Light Sport Aircraft?
Yes we do. Please see our Factory Built page. Are you going to have a factory fly-in?
Scheduled bi-annually. Saturday is the primary day with early arrivals on Friday.
How safe is a Kitplane?
Good question. Kitplane designs vary drastically and therefore have very different safety records. The Kitfox is a very safe aircraft and has never had a reported in-flight structural failure. How much does the Kitfox cost?
You can build the Kitfox on a serious budget. It depends on your desires. We have several engine options from the O-200 Continental to the Future Rotax 915iS. So as little as $45,000 can have you flying your new Kitfox.
Where are you located? How do I get in touch with you?
We are currently in SW Idaho at the Homedale Airport (S66). Please see our Contact page for more information. How fast does it go?
If you like to fly.... what's the rush? Assuming horsepower (100-120 HP) - Cruise performance is then best changed with propeller pitch. Our Whirlwind prop is easily ground adjustable in minutes. We have attained 130+mph.
What are the delivery times for a new kit?
Current lead times are from 30 to 90 days from order. How far can I go?
"P" Factor.. and we are not referring to propeller efficiency. How long can you last between stops?
On 27 gallons of gas - burning <5 gallons/hour - averaging 120 mph (NO wind) = 600 miles in 5 hours...
But it's prudent to land with a little left in the tank.
What are the lead times for a Factory Built Kitfox Light Sport (SLSA)?
Due to high demand we are experiencing 1 to 2 year lead times. I want to use my Kitfox to go to......
Yes you can go anywhere. We've landed on the white sand beaches of the islands of the Bahamas - to the glaciers of Alaska - to Las Vegas international - to plowed farm fields. Snow skis and floats are available.
Do I need a pilot's license to fly a Kitfox?
Yes, a minimum of a student license is required. The Kitfox currently in production does not qualify as an ultralight aircraft under FAR part 103.
How can I see a Kitfox in person?
Come by the factory is best. If that doesn't work with your schedule, visit us at one of the Airshows or let us know where you live and it may be possible to meet with one of the thousands of Kitfox builders/owners.
How long has Kitfox been around?
Kitfox was introduced in 1984 and has been sold all over the world. See the Kitfox History page for more information. What are Flaperons?
Think of them as simply ailerons able to droop (into flaps) So what's the advantage? They are part of the lifting surface of the wing (note the airfoil shape). As the wing reaches the critical angle of attack (stall) and turbulence (separation) is generated on the top and to the rear of the wing. The Kitfox detached Flaperons (Junkers style) are not only hanging below this airflow disruption, but they have not reached there critical angle of attack. The airflow is being accelerated over the top surface of the Flaperon - from the downwash of the underside of the wing being funneled through the narrow gap. Therefore you have aileron authority deep into a stall. (reflect on a Cessna trainer - loss of ailerons - only the use of rudder lifts a dropped wing in the stall).
So why hasn't everybody adopted this design? Many have, they are in use today on many aircraft but "in trail" The detached flaperon has been used in the past for low, slow, highly maneuverable airplanes. eg. Storch and Junkers.
Do the Wings still fold?
Yes, in less than 10 minutes by one person. How much can I carry?
With the side-by-side seating configuration - the passenger (unlike in a tandem-seated configured airplane) is NOT negatively effecting the rear CG envelope limit. Our seats (and Wing fuel) is ON the CG envelope - Therefore you can have 150# in the baggage. That should be plenty capacity for any multi-day adventure. (2) folding bicycles and overnight bags fit (see pic).

Hey turkman hows it going.
Turkman, glad to see you back!
It's Jan.28 and it's 65 degrees here in Alabama. I'm getting the itch but I'm hoping that it doesn't stay like this during Feb. It got warm early last year and seemed to affect the birds.
Baldeagle, I shot a good deer yesterday morning running a doe. Skeeters out, and really warm! Lol!! Go figure! Maybe Arrow will be nice and post a pic for me! Hahaha!! This BAMA winter the last two years has been pretty much nonexistent!!

Real good Captain,just looking forward to the Spring fling with the Gobblers like the rest of the guys and gals. Maybe we will pick up a lady hunter this year for luck if enough people want to join the many teams. looking forward to another exciting Contest this year on the site.


2018 has been an enjoyable year for those wanting the Ukrainian legislator to improve the country's corporate legal framework. Since limited liability companies (LLCs) and joint stock companies (JSCs) are the most frequent forms of business in Ukraine, improvement in this direction appears to be especially important. On June 17, 2018, the Law on Limited and Additional Liability Companies (the "LLC Law") came into force, completely replacing the outdated regulation of LLCs. Moving to JSCs, the legislator adopted a law that amended several legal acts regulating these companies and the stock market in general (the "JSC Law"). Below we will outline these major changes in the Corporate Governance in Ukraine.
A simple yet notable change introduced by the LLC Law is the abolishment of the maximum number of participants in LLCs, which was previously capped at 100 persons. This creates an opportunity for many existing private JSCs (which are de facto closer to LLCs than to public companies) to be reorganized into LLCs and enjoy, among other things, softer disclosure requirements and simpler corporate governance structure, which became even more appealing after the amendments. The law also gives LLCs a chance to avoid charter revision for minor adjustments to their status or corporate structure. Further, the LLC Law elaborates on the decision-making process by introducing precise mechanisms for absentee and poll voting, and simplifies decision-making by a sole participant of a company.
The LLC Law provides LLCs participants with the long-sought-after ability to customize their relations through a corporate (shareholders') agreement, which should make the corporate governance of LLCs even more flexible. Participants can agree, in particular, on circumstances that could trigger the obligation to sell or purchase equity interests in LLCs through, for example, a lock-up period, a buy-out, a sell-out, a special manner for the exercise of voting rights, and so on. In addition, the law establishes the right to have a supervisory board in LLCs, which should bring Ukrainian Corporate Governance closer to common foreign practice in controlling executive bodies and regulating company activities. The LLC Law also introduces the concepts of substantial and interested party transactions, as well as the rules for their approval and execution. To further secure owner and company interests, the law establishes the responsibility of executive body and supervisory board members for losses borne by the company through their fault.
With the JSC Law the Ukrainian legislator introduced a completely new and more effective criterion to distinguish between public and private JSCs, based the determination on the actual public status of a company instead of the outdated and unjustified approach involving the number of its shareholders. Now all JSCs are divided into public or private depending on whether their shares undergo a public offering and/or are listed at a stock exchange. Trading in shares at a stock exchange is still permitted regardless of JSC type.
The JSC Law moves away from the unlimited competence of the shareholders' meeting by granting its portion to that of a supervisory board. It also appears that the supervisory board is now more independent, as matters of its exclusive competence cannot no longer be resolved by the shareholders' meeting.
To minimize the possible abuse of voting rights, the legislator has also introduced a quorum restriction, under which shares of a JSC owned by a legal entity controlled by that JSC are not considered for quorum determination and do not allow their owner to participate in voting. Among other positive innovations is the liberalization of the information disclosure procedures of the Ukrainian stock market. However, disclosure requirements in certain areas – for example, the banking sector – remain conventionally high.
Summing up the overview, we should mention that even though the new laws are surely aimed at improving Ukraine's corporate governance framework, they appear to be not entirely free of drawbacks. Nonetheless, we are sure that the overall outcome is improved safety and greater flexibility in the Ukrainian market. To fully enjoy these benefits, both JSCs and LLCs should bring their charters and by-laws in compliance with the updates within the timeframes specified in the two laws.


After a few weeks of overtime i decided it was time to treat myself. Steve had posted the possibility of sell his springfield gi and after a few emails we sealed the deal. He worked with me for payment and I picked it up tonight.
1911 is in excellent shape just as he described. extra set of grips with it too. if he ever posts anything else for sale, do not hesitate to buy from him.


Display your favorite air plants in this modern house shaped air plant holder.
Do you love all the house shaped home decor? Well why not make house shaped air plant holders for your little air plants too! You can make this DIY air plant holder in just a few minutes or whip up a whole village air plant display in an hour.
These air plant terrariums are quick and easy to make. I used these plastic sheets that can be cut with an x-acto knife and ruler. Then assembled them with hot glue!
My goal for last year was to add more plants to our home. Sadly though, I kill houseplants!
So this year's goal is to find plants that I cannot kill and add them to the home! Along with my peace lily, spider plant, and hardy succulents, I decided it was time to introduce some air plants.
I was told air plants are hard to kill because all they need is air (and an occasional spritzing with water). Guess what I happen to have in our home… lots of air! Ha ha.
Air plants absorb the water they need from the air, but if you live in a place that is less humid than their natural habitat, you will need to water them! I read about a lot of different ways to water them.
And after a year of keeping them alive, I have found the best way to water them!
Since air plants absorb their water though their "leaves" they need to have water on their leaves for a significant period of time. Spritzing them did not give them the water they needed and my plants started to shrivel up (it also made a mess to clean up around the air plant display).
Fill a small bowl with distilled or other non-chlorinated water.
Place the air plants inside the water for 1 hour (if you forget about them and leave them in overnight, don't worry it does not kill them).
Remove them from the water and place them back in their holder.
That is it! Super easy and your air plants will be much happier than if you just spritzed them because they get a nice big drink.
When I went to buy my new air plants, I looked at the pretty glass air plant holders. But they are expensive! And I don't want to invest all that money if I am possibly going to kill these cute little plants.
Instead I knew I could DIY something even better. Last year I bought some .020 thick plastic sheets to use as wall stencils. It was too thick for that so I went back for the thinner material. But I was left with these sheets and nothing to use them for.
Fast forward to last week when I was trying to figure out how to make my own air plant terrarium. Since their little homes do not have to be water tight, why not use this thin, clear plastic to make the perfect little air plant holder. And then it hit me… why not make the perfect little air plant houses!
I am sure you have seen all the house shaped shelves, decor and such. I must admit, I love it. We even added little houses to our Christmas tree last year. And out of all the crazy shapes I could have picked, houses are easy to make. They require just a few pieces with no complicated math or angles. Perfect!
So armed with a few helpless little air plants and some plastic sheets, I set off to DIY the perfect air plant holder… Air Plant Houses. And my husband is sick of me asking how cute they are because now I am obsessed. They are too cute for words so I will just let the pictures do the talking for me.
You could also use thin plexiglass or acrylic sheets.
I couldn't find gold rocks, so I used white rocks from the dollar store and spray painted them with Rustoleum Metallic Gold paint.
As you can see all the houses are 2 1/2″ wide. So I cut 2 1/2″ wide strips off my 12×12 sheet of plastic. I used almost one sheet to make all 3 houses.
Once the pieces were cut, I had to peel the protective film off both sides of the pieces before glueing them together. Now it is a perfectly clear piece of plastic.
Run a small bead of glue along the bottom edge of the side piece and attach it to the side of the bottom piece. Repeat on the other side so you now have a U shaped piece.
I prefer my mini glue gun for this to get a nice thin line of glue. Don't stress too much about seeing the glue lines, we will paint those later with the gold to make it look like they are held together with lead so the bumpy glue is a good thing.
Attach the front and back supports by running a thin bead of glue along the front edge of the bottom and just the lower part of the sides and then place the support piece on top of it. Repeat on the back.
To attach the roof. Glue run a thin bead of glue along the top of the side piece and then attach the roof piece at an angle. Attach the second roof piece to the other side.
Don't worry too much about the angle because it will all fit together when you attach the two roof pieces in the center. Then run a bead of glue to one of roof piece tops and press the other to secure.
Use the gold Sharpie pen to paint over the glue and corners. This makes it look like glass and gold lead instead of hot glue, very fancy!
The best thing about air plants, is they do not have to be planted. You can fill your DIY air plant terrarium with decorative rocks, soil, marbles, or vase filler.
Create a small dent in the center of your filler with your fingers.
Nestle the air plant into the dent to keep it from falling over.
If you want to paint your decorative rocks like I did, the easiest way is to add them to a box. Then you can spray and shake, spray and shake, spray and shake, till all the rocks are evenly coated in a layer of gold paint.
I always wear a latex glove when I spray paint to prevent the paint getting all over my finger when I push on the nozzle.
Air plants don't need lots of direct light. They can survive for years in a room with decent indirect sunlight (I know, mine have been alive for over a year now). So I put together a list of places to display your new house-shaped air plant holders.
Really you can place them anywhere you need the beautiful of a real plant without the hassle of most potted plants. I put the three little house shaped air plant holders on a tray on my coffee table. I love how they turned out so much!
And if you have any more tips for keeping these adorable little air plants alive, please share!
I love your glue gun stand. Did you make it? I've never seen one like that before. I'm always putting my glue gun on a piece of cardboard or newspaper and then having to clean up the globs. If you made that stand, I'd love to see a post with instructions.
I did make it, but I used this post from my friend at https://www.virginiasweetpea.com/make-diy-glue-gun-holder/ to make it. I was always using a paper plate to store mine before. This is so much better!
This is beyond genius! I thought for sure you soldered those together. It looks amazing!


When Heather Rubino was 14 years old, she was featured in an article with accompanying photos in the Stockton Record sports page. She had bowled a perfect 300 game, for which she was honored with a special ring and a patch. Fast forward to 2018 and Heather is again being honored, but this time as the San Joaquin County Bar Association Outstanding New Lawyer.
There is a common thread between these two events. Both honors are the result of Heather's skill, strength and focus. And it is those attributes and more that define Heather's success in life and in law.
Heather is a native Stocktonian and a graduate of Bear Creek High School, Sacramento State University and Humphreys Drivon School of Law. One of her current partners, Frank Mohan, was her tax professor at Humphrey's, leading to very entertaining verbal exchanges as Heather and Frank offer conflicting memories about those tax classes.
Throughout her school years Heather worked selling shoes at Macy's, in the pro shop at Stockton Golf and Country Club, and several jobs at Big Valley Ford where her mother, Darlene Gibbons, is a part owner. As her interest in law grew, she served as an intern at the District Attorney's office and later worked as a law clerk for local personal injury attorney Larry Knapp.
During law school she became a Certified Law Student. At her first court appearance for the DA's office, her opposition was her criminal law professor, John Schick. As a certified law student she also had the opportunity to second chair a robbery trial as well as a case involving multiple molestations.
Heather graduated from Humphreys in May of 2010 and that December, her status at Larry Knapp's office changed from law clerk to attorney. She learned a great deal from Larry and their office suite mate, Stew Tabak.
In 2014 she went to work as an associate for Harris, Perisho & Ruiz. When she interviewed she presented as extremely serious, but after coming to work we all quickly discovered that Heather has a wonderful sense of humor and a hearty, full-bodied laugh.
In November of 2017, Heather became a partner in the newly merged firm of Mohan, Harris, Ruiz, Wortmann, Perisho and Rubino which is most distinguished by the fact that the firm holds the Olympic and World Record for the number of names in a law firm title (narrowly edging Kroloff, Belcher, Smart, Perry & Christopherson).
While she stays true to her legal roots and handles personal injury matters, she has also developed a passion for general civil litigation, construction law and business transactions, likely as a result of watching her Mom succeed in business.
Heather has been very active in the San Joaquin County Bar Association.She currently serves as a member of the Board of Governors and is the Board's president-elect. She has been an active member of the Women Lawyers Section and she also served as Chairman of the Program Committee. Last year, Heather started the Food From the Bar Program to benefit the Emergency Food Bank. She is a member of the Consuelo M. Callahan Inns of Court where the members are from time to time dazzled by her performances. Heather also serves the broader community in various capacities including co-founding, with her husband Tim, the Misty Holt Singh Memorial Golf Tournament, which currently raises money to benefit victims of violent crime.
In May, Heather and Tim will celebrate their tenth anniversary. Their daughter Sophia, age 6, is the apple of their eye and in many ways Heather's "Mini-Me."Heather and Tim are members of Stockton Golf and Country Club and Elkhorn Golf Club, and Heather has a notable appreciation for fine wine. She also is devoted to everything Lululemon for which UPS will be eternally grateful.
John Harris is a partner with Mohan, Harris, Ruiz, Wortmann, Perisho & Rubino practicing civil mediations. Contact John at (209) 957-0660 or .

Lauren Riihimaki Phone Number, Email, Contact Information, House Address, and Biography:
Lauren Kobayashi Riihimaki was born on August 11, 1993, in Toronto, Canada, to Gail and Greg Riihimaki. Her mother is Japanese, while her dad is half Finnish and half Ukrainian. She was an active kid and took classes to learn swimming, skating, guitar and piano. She was also an athletic kid, participating in many of sports while growing up. Till 6th grade, she attended Alexandra Public School, where she won the French Award as well as the Female Athlete Award. She moved to Queen Mary Public School for middle school, where she enrolled in the French Immersion program and once again won awards in French as well as in sports. She subsequently attended Sir Winston Churchill High School. In this period, Lauren Riihimaki had a short affair with a boy called Joey. The two of these awakened but are still friends. She's now in a relationship with Alex Burriss, the inventor of the popular YouTube station"Wassabi Productions". After college, she moved to Toronto to attend Ryerson University, where she received her Bachelor of Technology degree. Her grandfather died while she was still in college, and to honor him, she later got his birth "1932" tattooed on her wrist in Roman numerals. Currently, she lives in Los Angeles.
Regardless of the fact that Lauren Riihimaki's life story sounds like a fairy Narrative, she was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder after she first moved into Toronto. She loathed the course she took up and needed to overwork constantly to meet deadlines. The stress eventually led to depression And she had to undergo medications. But she'd made a lot Of friends that helped her deal with the dullness of her life. She thinks The experience has made her more confident about herself.

Lauren Riihimaki began her YouTube journey in late 2011, posting DIY videos on her station; according to her parents, she showed possible as early as when she was just four years old. Looking through old pictures of herself as a young child, she found several pictures that now hit her as concealed signs of her imagination. The 1 picture, which she's especially singled out in this respect is the one where she could be seen cutting out a cardboard box (with the support of her dad ). Throughout her teenage years, she continued to nurture her imagination, which finally found the perfect stage through her YouTube channel.
Lauren Riihimaki's entrance into the DIY blogging area, and finally YouTube, was nothing type of a coincidence. After enrolling to a Graphic Communications Management course at Ryerson University in Toronto, she realized that although the course needed future employment opportunities, it did not allow her to showcase her creative abilities, which she had been too excited to find an outlet for. She frequently channeled her creativity in simplifying her"prison such as" living space with DIY stuff. On a boring day, she searched on Google how to make sites and has been led to the WordPress platform where she created her first site titled"Desire & Inspire". She originally walked her readers through her DIY blogs with the support of pictures showing a variety of stages of the creative procedure. But she eventually felt a video demonstration is going to do a far better job. Thus, she sought out the YouTube platform to upload her movies so that she could later embed those to her blogs. To her surprise, she discovered that her YouTube station, which she named"LaurDIY", began to acquire an enormous number of subscribers. Within a couple of years, her creative DIY movies have earned her as many as 5.4 million YouTube subscribers, besides more than 5 million more followers on Instagram and Twitter

Eliyahu Alpern: Photography
Tzfat's Artists Colony developed in the 1950s, when many of Israel's finest artists opened galleries in the center of the Old City. The Tzfat Artist Quarter was, at one time, the "Bohemian" center in Israel, where artists worked and obtained inspiration, and people from throughout Israel journeyed to Tzfat to enjoy the artistic creations and the relaxed atmosphere of Quarter.
Sadly, by the 1980s, the Artists Quarter was fading....the established artists had ceased opening their galleries, and Tzfat was no longer attracting the nation's new generation of creative souls. More and more, non-artistic families began to move into the Artist Quarter homes, and the Committee of the Artists Association questioned whether they would be able to again attract talented artists to Tzfat, as well as bring the visitors and tourists who expected to see top quality art.
As the answer to the Artists Assocation's questions and prayers, artists such as Eliyahu Ben Zev Alpern began arriving to Tzfat and have helped to revive the acclaimed reputation of Tzfat's Artist Quarter. Eliyahu first experienced Tzfat when he came to visit cousins of his who had moved to the mountain-top city. He had been working with panoramic photography creating a virtual tour of Israel -- 360 degree interactive photographs containing an interface and including still images, text about sites, video, audio, links, maps and other media about sites in Israel. The sites are connected with hotspots inside the panos which link to other sites geographically. (There is a demo of this at http://israelvr.net ).
Eliyahu has been developing these panoramic photographs and showing in group shows and Jewish Art fairs. He has developed his style through time and finds inspiration outside his window, these days, in Tzfat. "I photograph what pleases my eye. By this point in my life I "trust" my eye, and I have tried to make photography a part of my life...by that I mean, I try not to go too far out of the way to take pictures. A lot of my successful images are pictures of plants and trees from right outside of my house. I learn a lot from looking at other people's work, in all kinds of media. I also like reportage, a documentary style. I just have a knack for that."
Eliyahu likes to make people feel something through viewing, and looks for subjects in the spiritual world as well as the world of nature. But, he points out, photography isn't just clicking on a meaningful picture. He makes a point of staying on top of the quickly developing photography technology and using advanced photo-editing digital programming to enhance and expand what photography can be.
Panoramic Sukkah
Eliyahu's goal is to have his images make more of an impact on society, specifically on the ecology movement. He is presently working on "Panoramic Sukkah" -- a 360 print that one can hang on the inside wall of a Sukkah (a small booth that Jews build for the holiday of Succot). This Panoramic Sukkah will allow people to step inside a place in Israel when they enter their Sukkah, such as the Western Wall Plaza, the desert, the Golan Heights, etc. He has displayed one in public on several occasions and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
Eliyahu's work is available for viewing in his home studio. His work can also be seen on his websites. Eliyahu can be contacted at [email protected] or check out his site at http://www.golem.ws/

What a cruel joke life is. I saw this slim, docile looking novel on a shelf and I thought to myself, 'this will be a nice palate cleanser after the wordy roughage of hobbits and elven poetry …only 133 pages? Sure that's a doddle'.
Needless to say, Only An Alligator is a very strange book. I will attempt to describe the plot, but I fear my facility with language has completely deserted me and booked a holiday somewhere saner. Barny Juno resides in the city known as Accomplice. He wants nothing more than to be happy and befriend all the 'winged and stepping animals of the earth'. His home is a menagerie of vicious wildlife and rumours surround a suspected colony of eight hundred eels living in his garden. He also has strange friends, including a dinosaur fetishist nicknamed Round One and a scarecrow (or possibly a zombie, the data is confusing on this point) called Edgy who is desperate to join a secret society known as the Patently Damaging Sports Club. Accomplice itself is a metropolis stranded on the banks of some weird etheric realm of demons and ghosts. I think. I am not entirely clear on that point.
One day Barny finds an alligator caught in the walls of what is called a 'creepchannel'. He rescues the animal and brings it home, naming it Mister Newton. He gives all his animal charges names, although his attempted funeral for a former pet was an unmitigated disaster, as he accidentally dropped his trousers during the eulogy. Anyway, it turns out this alligator was being fattened as a snack for a demon named Sweeney. Infuriated at this brazen theft, he orders his lieutenant Dietrich Hammerwire to find the thief Barny Juno and kill him. Or seriously inconvenience him. Either way, Sweeney wants results. Dietrich has his doubts about the assignment, as he quickly begins to wonder if Barny really is the genius his master believes him to be. As far as he can tell, the man is an unbelievable fool.
The experience of reading this book feels like sitting in a room with a sadistic madman who has shoved Flann O'Brien's At Swim Two Birds, Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica and Alex Cox's Repo Man into a blender and then, with a wicked grin, flicked the on-switch. I felt like I was stuck back in William Burrough's Interzone, somehow beached on a nightmarish inverted sephirot. I have no idea what this book is about. Frankly I did not understand half the sentences in this book.
It did make me laugh though. A lot. With a slight manic giggle at the end of each outburst. Sweeney's rivalry with Barny becomes the principal concern of a mayoral election campaign, much to the bewildered hero's confusion. Aylett somehow manages the proceedings with a deadpan sense of humour and gargled imagery. I would attempt to identify the plot as a political satire, but that would be missing the larger point I am sure. Get back to me in a few months when I have figured out what that is.
In short, if you are the sort of person who enjoys having their brains leak out of their nose due to the effort of reading, this is the book for you! If you are, on the contrary, a sane and respectable member of society I advise you to run, not walk, as far as possible from Mr Aylett. Maybe join a nunnery for a month or so, just to be safe.
It is too late for me I'm afraid.

The 7th Edition of 'I SAY F.U.C.K. A LOT MUSIC ADDICT will be SENYAP's last gig held in SANGRIA.But don't worry it doesn't mean the end of MUSIC ADDICT. There will be more to come. So to all members and followers keep on supporting THE MOVEMENT.
Aside from the electronica and chiptune fun – don't miss out our retro gaming spot and kicka** coffee boosters, specially brewed by Artisan Roast.
The Tun Mahathir musical has played earlier last year, but due to popular demand it was brought back for a second season at Istana Budaya. The second seasons runs from 21-30 January. Information on ticket prices and where to get them are accessible at the official website http://www.muzikaltunmahathir.blogspot.com/.
Anyway, the organizers were kind enough to give us some pretty excellent seats. The Panggung Sari at Istana Budaya isn't very big and we had seats right in middle of the center aisle. Great view and we were also acoustically well positioned.
As for the show, it was on the whole pretty decent, but it fell short of my expectations. Don't get me wrong, we enjoyed ourselves, and there were part of the show I really liked, however I felt that there were a few things that prevented it from being a much better show. But let's start with the positives first.
