This one time capital of the Ukraine is the largest center of science and culture in Ukraine. There are more than 180 science-oriented organizations, 60 of which are scientific research institutes; more than 170 educational centers, 21 of which are rated as the highest educational institutions and the balance being special secondary education schools, the number of private and state owned higher education institutions has now reached 80. There are 49 cultural centers and institutions, among them 5 museums, a town art gallery, and six major theatres. There are more than 80 libraries in the town! These figures justify the opinion "Kharkov is intellect".
The town is situated in the north-eastern part of Ukraine, on the border of two landscape belts - forest-steppe and steppe, near the junction of the Lopan and the Udy rivers, that flow into the Seversky Donets. The territory of the town is a slightly rolling plane, grooved with river beds, clefts and valleys. Kharkov sits on five hills and five vales ranging from 344 to 643 feet above the sea level. At present, takes up 117 sq miles with 49 of these devoted to parks, gardens and green ways. In spite of its considerable size, the town's layout is tight with a well developed town transport network (underground, tram, trolley bus, bus, shuttle taxi) affording easy access to any part of the city.
There are many reasons why Kharkov deserves deference and attention and among them are its eventful history, it's rapid economic development, its rise to the cutting edge of advanced science in the 20th century, and its bright and manifold cultural life.
Any point of the globe which is bestowed with charm and appeal owes that appeal to the people living there and their deeds. This is also true in relation to Kharkov. The Kharkovites are not an idle people. They made their contribution to space exploration and aviation development, and to the improvement of farming methods in Ukraine. After the advent of independent Ukraine, the people of the city actively took up converting the arms industry to civil purposes, developing communications systems, creating joint ventures, reconstruction of light and heavy industry including machine tool construction, heavy engineering industry, power machinery construction, food production and the chemical industry.

Q: How can I fix value error on for-loop in python array? For a homework assignment we were asked to generate the specific array below and find the count of the even numbers in the array using a for loop. I'm running into a value error after running my for loop.
Q2 = np.random.randint(0, 1000, size = (10, 10))
print("The list of numbers in Q2 array = ", Q2)

even_count = 0
odd_count = 0

for i in range(len(Q2)):
    if(Q2[i] % 2 == 0):
        even_count = even_count + 1
    else:
        odd_count = odd_count + 1

print("The count of the even numbers in Q2 array = ", even_count)

I'm getting the following message when I run the for loop: ValueError: The truth value of an array with more than one element is ambiguous. Use a.any() or a.all()
I've searched for an answer for this problem and have found all kinds of explanation of the value error and Booleans, but none of them helped specific with my type of code. Or didn't elaborate enough for someone who is very new to Python to understand (me!) Any help would be much appreciated!

A: Q2 is an array of array so you need another for loop.
import numpy as np

Q2 = np.random.randint(0, 1000, size = (10, 10))
print("The list of numbers in Q2 array = ", Q2)

even_count = 0
odd_count = 0

for i in Q2:
    for j in i:
      if (j % 2 == 0):
        even_count = even_count + 1
      else:
        odd_count = odd_count + 1

print("The count of the even numbers in Q2 array = ", even_count)

A: You are generating a two-dimensional array (10 x 10). So Q2[i] is still a (one-dimensional) array, not a single integer as you seem to expect. Hence the error, because in your subarray you may have both even and odd numbers - in other words the truth value of your check is ambiguous, as the error message says.
Male two loops, or simply create a one-dimension array

To be honest, for a clumsy dyslexic ambidextrous kid who was being forced to become right handed, ink was the mortal enemy. How many times did the nib remain stuck in the paper fibre, only to skip out with an ink splash over the page, forcing me to rewrite it? My little hands were always blue with ink, because the left fingers had to disentangle the paper fibers from the nib, position the pen full of ink at the correct height in the right hand.
Respite came only in middle school, when we graduated from pen and ink to fountain pens. However, I never developed a positive relationship with ink. Many bad memories came back in the mid-80s, when we were struggling to get the early color ink jet printers to work, so we could characterize them colorimetrically.
One of the main properties of ink is its viscosity, and by comparison, at the time people working in gravure and offset printing had it much easier with their inks that were more a paste than a fluid. With these inks, printers can be calibrated much more efficiently through a feedback loop based on ink viscosity measurement, than our thin ink jet inks or xerography toners, which required spectrophotometry for speed.
It looks a lot like making chocolate.

+3 Review: Dreaming under the Southern Bough (theSpace @Niddry St, Aug 05 – 13 : 10.55 : 50 mins)
Posted in 3*, Other, Plus 3, Plus 3 2016, Rated: Nae Bad, Theatre	by Jacob Close
"Consistently charming and fun to watch"
Editorial Rating: 3 Stars Nae Bad
If asked for which playwright 2016 marks four hundred years in the grave, you could be forgiven for answering "William Shakespeare", rather than Ming dynasty writer Tang Xianzu. And with Fringe Shakespeare productions soliloquizing on every street corner, it's almost refreshing to celebrate another famous, dead bard.
Telling an Alice-in-Wonderland-esque tale of transformation, reflection and po-faced absurdity, Dreaming under the Southern Bough follows the story of a veteran soldier gone to the dogs. However, a chance encounter with retainers from the Kingdom of Ants thrusts him into a world of royal intrigue, prophecy and war.
This is a performance which hits its stride when the surreality really hits the fan. As the plot goes into full swing, it's hard not to be charmed by the performances at play: drunken retainers, pantomimic warlords and purer-than-thou royalty make for an experience which, whilst somewhat eclectic in terms of energy, is consistently charming and fun to watch.
Even with minimalistic lighting, stage and props, the atmosphere of classical mysticism is heavy even with the seemingly lightest of touches. Incorporation of the original Chinese in particular lends this production an often enthralling sense of place and context, adding significant substance to what in other hands may have been flimsy and unconvincing. Although the scenes taking place in the "real world" seem strangely jarring and stiff, the prose and flow of the writing feels right at home as soon as things hit microscopic.
The strongest aspect of this adaptation is the original writing, and it is a significant shame that the edition presented to Edinburgh is abridged – it would have been far more gratifying to spend more time amongst the follies and twists of the Ant Kingdom, rather than the emotionally unsatisfying ersatz-grit of the modern day bookends.
Despite its flaws, Dreaming under the Southern Bough is a pleasant and entertaining way to spend a lazy mid-morning. Whilst its denizens may be ants, it's clear they're standing on the shoulders of giants.

While there are at least four distinct thematic areas addressed by articles in Field Exchange 37, there is arguably one cross-cutting issue - namely the tendency towards fragmentation and lack of coordination within the emergency nutrition sector. We will return to this later.
This issue of Field Exchange carries a number of research summaries related to the role of data and indicators in emergencies. There are pieces on the evidence for impact of the global food crisis on the poor, a new method of statistical forecasting for famine, based on data sets produced in Kenya, and programmatic implications of the roll out of the 2006 World Health Organisation (WHO) growth standards. There is also an important review conducted by the Health and Nutrition Tracking Service in WHO on the primary indicators used in emergencies. This highlights the lack of standardisation and measurability of many of the indicators used for monitoring emergency programmes. Another study, conducted by Fiona Watson, analyses the role of contextual (nonanthropometric) data in nutrition surveys conducted in Ethiopia. Again this highlights the lack of standardisation of information collected, as well as the limited use made by decisionmakers of this information.
A second thematic area concerns the use of specialised foods used in feeding programmes. Research findings are summarised on the relative effectiveness of fortified spreads compared to corn soy blend (CSB) in Malawi supplementary feeding programmes and, again from Malawi, the morbidity and mortality outcomes of using probiotic and prebiotic fortified ready to use therapeutic foods (RUTFs) compared to 'normal' RUTFs. Another study reviews the value of using lipid based nutrient supplements in food rations. There is also an article on the roll out of RUTFs in a number of Indian states, which discusses whether such a strategy is appropriate given long-term use of local recipes for treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Finally, a field article written by Caroline Wilkinson and Sheila Isanaka, compares the use of diluted F100 and infant formula in the treatment of severely malnourished infants under 6 months old in inpatient therapeutic centres in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).
Another thematic area is programming in conflict situations. One research summary describes the experience of decentralising growth monitoring in conflict affected areas of DRC. There is also a field article written in collaboration with members of SAACID (an Australian based charity), giving a fascinating account of a food kitchen programme in Mogadishu that has been running for two years and has served over 33 million hot meals in that time. The programme has operated in one of the most insecure environments of the world and yet only had one major security incident directly affecting the kitchen sites. However, the widespread insecurity in the city has impacted programmes by making access difficult, while the surge in demand for the meals has meant that each meal has effectively been used to feed close to five people.
A final thematic area in this issue of Field Exchange concerns 'how nutrition is conceptualised' within the humanitarian sector. The utility of the UNICEF conceptual framework on malnutrition is explored in an article from Afghanistan where interviews with stakeholders at community and various government administrative levels demonstrated how it has helped foster collaboration between the agricultural and health sectors. A second piece by Action Contre la Faim (ACF) evaluates their approach to integrated nutrition programming and reflects that, although the UNICEF framework has been useful in conceptualising how to integrate programmes across sectors, the practical challenges of so doing are substantial.
As with so many past issues of Field Exchange, it is hard not to be struck by the richness and diversity of initiatives and programming approaches that are ongoing in the emergency nutrition sector. In many respects this is commendable and engenders a sense of optimism around the fact that there is so much energy, innovation and drive towards improvement in the sector. However, the other side of the coin - and one which is of increasing concern - is that many of the initiatives are uncoordinated, disparate, not joined up and are agency specific. At best this leads to competition between initiatives and approaches, with the best ones rising to the surface and receiving deserved funding and uptake by agencies. At worst it leads to confusion, inaction, duplication, and in some cases, wasted resources.
Some elements of this 'worst case scenario' are already being played out in two of the thematic areas above.... A range of new specialised foods is currently being developed by a number of actors to improve the outcomes for children affected by, or at risk of developing, moderate or severe malnutrition. These foods have different specifications and are being piloted in a variety of contexts and populations. There is no overall coordination of the foods being developed and piloted and perhaps more importantly, no agreed validation process. The result is an increasing number of pilot studies purporting to demonstrate certain outcomes in relation to programme efficacy and impact. At the same time, a number of private companies and other organisations are developing new products, yet have no internationally agreed means for validating these products. Agencies responsible for implementing feeding programmes and donor organisations funding these programmes are therefore increasingly being faced with an array of potential products and no mechanism to determine which are most cost-effective and which ones satisfy essential nutritional and medical standards. This proliferation of initiatives is a relatively new phenomenon in the emergency feeding sector and is giving rise to a range of additional challenges. For example,
What are the moral and entrepreneurial frameworks within which public private partnerships should operate?
How to monitor private enterprise activities and partnerships and ensure that the independence of public sector collaborators is not undermined or perceived to be so?
The need for clarity on entry and exit strategies for using specialised foods in a variety of contexts, e.g. blanket feeding to prevent malnutrition, feeding in situations of chronic emergencies, etc.
There are currently no lead agencies helping to chart the way forward in this increasingly complex area.
A similar process of proliferation has been ongoing with regard to food and nutrition information systems over a longer period of time. While it is not possible to provide data (as there is no body charged with overall responsibility for collating such data) there appears to have been a steady increase in the number of Food Security Information Systems (FSIS) and FSIS-related initiatives over the years (Borton. J and Shoham (2009), OCHA (2009) ). Underpinning this is a continued drive to strengthen the 'science' and rigor of food security and nutrition assessment. New approaches are emerging as the humanitarian system seeks to improve its alert systems, as well as its ability to prioritise between different contexts (e.g. OCHA's Dashboard and the Global Vulnerability Alert initiatives). At the same time, there is a less visible attrition of initiatives - especially normative ones that once received substantial funding, reflecting in part the fierce competition for resources as well as the overall lack of coherence in the sector.
The initiation and evolution of these systems supports the diverse needs of a wide range of stakeholders. The lack of an agency with overall responsibility for FSIS development in the humanitarian system means that there is inevitable duplication and overlap of systems as well as a bewildering array of data. At the same time, the lack of coordination of FSIS often results in critical gaps in information (geographically or of specific data types). The consequence of weak coordination in the FSIS sector is that there is a need for national consensus building around FSIS findings. While steps have been taken in a number of countries to establish a process for consensus building, there are many countries where no such system exists. Furthermore, the variety and lack of standardised FSIS at national, regional and global level make it increasingly difficult for regional or global decision makers to compare findings between countries and therefore make rational needs based resource allocation decisions. The Integrated Phase Classification System (IPC) has been configured to address both these problems.
In essence, what seems to have occurred in the FSIS sector is that we invent systems to solve a problem (e.g. lack of early warning information) but in so doing create new problems (too much data with conflicting findings) and then are forced to invent new systems to deal with the problems that we have created (e.g. the IPC).
One of the key findings of the Lancet nutrition series published last year was that there is too little coordination and too much fragmentation within the nutrition sector. Lack of stewardship was highlighted as a major issue. Clearly, we already have agencies which take a lead in various important areas within the nutrition sector, e.g. UNICEF, FAO, WHO, WFP. However, these agencies rarely work together so that there continues to be overlap and duplication and, inevitably, critical gaps. One step forward would be for agencies to agree who should take a lead in a particular thematic area. Such decisions could be taken within international fora like the UN Standing Committee on Nutrition (SCN) or the Nutrition Cluster. It is not hard to envisage having lead agencies for specific areas like development of specialised foods, food and nutrition information systems, impact assessment, programme design, etc. In some situations this may require agencies to 'let go' of activities and 'areas of interest', while being given more of a mandate to focus on other areas. Other institutional permutations may also serve the same end, e.g. working groups for specific thematic areas within the Global Nutrition Cluster, although the Global Nutrition Cluster has some way to go in developing its own strategic framework and in securing resources to pursue a framework.
The energy, drive and capacity for innovation within the emergency nutrition sector is quite remarkable. Imagine what more could be achieved if this were better marshalled and coordinated?
Finally, we heartily welcome Carmel Dolan to the ENN, as she joins us as a new Technical Director (see back page).

RALEIGH, N.C. — A federal appeals court has reversed its previous decision banning officials in North Carolina from issuing "Choose Life" license plates after the U.S. Supreme Court asked the court to revisit its ruling in light of a similar decision from the nation's high court.
As previously reported, in February 2014, a three-judge panel with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a federal judge's ruling that struck down the plates as being "at odds with the First Amendment." U.S. District Court Judge James Carroll Fox had opined in December 2012 that the plates amounted to viewpoint discrimination because the state did not also issue plates favoring abortion.
The state first began offering "Choose Life" plates in 2011 after legislators approved a measure allowing the pro-life plates to be produced. Each plate is an extra $25, fifteen of which goes to the Carolina Pregnancy Care Fellowship, a non-profit organization that helps to fund pregnancy care centers throughout North Carolina.
According to WGHP-TV in High Point, six separate amendments have been presented to lawmakers in the state legislature in an effort to have produced plates that read either "Trust Women. Respect Choice" or just "Respect Choice." The legislature struck down all six amendments as they failed to obtain a majority vote.
The ACLU of North Carolina then filed suit on behalf of residents who thought it unfair that the legislature would not also allow the issuance of customized pro-abortion plates.
But last June, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the ruling, ordering the Fourth Circuit to reconsider its decision in light of the high court's ruling earlier this month in Walker v. Texas Division, Sons of Confederate Veterans. The Supreme Court had ruled in Walker that state-issued license plates amount to government speech, and therefore, the state can reject messages that it does not endorse.
On Thursday, the Fourth Circuit reversed its previous decision 2-1, advising that the state may be free to issue the plates and reject others.
"We now conclude that specialty license plates issued under North Carolina's program amount to government speech and that North Carolina is therefore free to reject license plate designs that convey messages with which it disagrees," Chief Judge William Traxler wrote on behalf of the majority.

'Duck Dynasty' star Willie Robertson says he won't be running for office
November 26, 2018 by Ben Marquis
Oftentimes when a well-known public figure releases a new book right around a major election cycle, it means they're interested in heading to Washington.
But while Willie Robertson, CEO of the Duck Dynasty family's Duck Commander brand, has just published a new book on entrepreneurship, he revealed in a recent interview that a run for political office isn't in the cards for him — at least, not right now.
Inspired to run for office?
While speaking with Fox News to promote the release of his book, American Entrepreneur, Robertson was asked if the election of businessman Donald Trump as president inspired him to run for office as well.
But Robertson shot that idea down with a joke and a smile.
"Me being in politics? Oh, I don't know. I don't think so," Robertson replied. "I don't know if I want to take the pay cut right now."
The 46-year-old father added: "No, just joking. I like the idea of it, but not right now. I've got a grandkid coming."
Patience and risk bring reward
The main crux of Robertson's book on entrepreneurship is a reminder for aspiring business owners that success typically "doesn't happen overnight," but rather, success is achieved over time through hard work and dedication.
"I think one of the critical things…is to really be patient and content. It doesn't happen overnight," Robertson said. "You have to be willing to [take a] risk and hopefully you get the reward [by] being patient, steady."
Robertson cited his own family business as a prime example, and noted that despite the appearance that his family found sudden success with their business in 2012 with their reality TV program, in actuality, the family business was founded in 1972.
The family grew up living paycheck to paycheck with "not much money" and steadily grew as a successful enterprise over 40 years prior to the TV program granting them a new level of success.
Another TV show?
Robertson also seemed to shoot down rumors of a Duck Dynasty reboot or spinoff program on TV, revealing instead that he was intensely focused on the growth of his family, seeing all of his children make it through high school and college and start business ventures of their own, as well as keeping the original family business running successfully.
"As far as a spinoff goes, everybody's kind of doing their own thing right now," Robertson said. "It was awesome that we were all together [filming the show], but I don't know if I see us getting back together."
Robertson may not be ready to reboot his show or start a political campaign, but he did seem to leave the door open for at least one of those things.
Could we see the Duck Dynasty star on the ballot one day? Only time will tell.

The next creation from issue 2
Welcome to "Humdrum: Snow"
Mrs. Pen & Mr. Brush
For the past year Avital Globerman and Dan Allon, Hotem magazine's editorial team, have been creating a bi-weekly comics telling stories from behind-the-scenes of the magazine's editorial. I was really curious to learn more about the comics and the creative process, and was glad to have the opportunity to sit down on a chilly and sunny afternoon in Prenzlauer Berg for coffee and carrot cake, to talk about art, friendship and Berlin.
ALON HARRIS: I never knew carrot cake could taste SO good!
DAN ALLON: Can you please pass me your napkin?
HARRIS: Sure! Can I offer you some cake?
ALLON: No thanks
AVITAL GLOBERMAN: He's got to draw something, he can't help himself… give him a minute and he'll be back to normal. I know what it feels to have that burning urge to put something down on paper. Maybe that's why we get along so well.
HARRIS: Is it OK if I ask a few questions?
GLOBERMAN: Genau!
ALLON: Yalla!
HARRIS: first of all, where did you guys first meet?
GLOBERMAN: I guess it began when I was reviewing candidate materials for one of the Hotem's issues. Dan sent me a painting he created and I was literally blown away by the art. Some years later, we happened to meet face to face at one of Dan's exhibitions at an art gallery in Jaffa-Tel-Aviv. We instantaneously clicked and it was obvious to both of us that we needed to find a way to work together.
A while later, Dan was looking for a new artistic endeavor and I was looking for an artistic partner. The timing was perfect for the both of us. It was then that we decided to experiment with comics inside Hotem.
HARRIS: Why comics? I thought your focus in Hotem is on high forms of art such as poetry and literature.
GLOBERMAN: First of all, I think comics is a very high form of art. It's a text just like a poem or a painting and just like them it is charged with symbolism and meaning that need to be read and deciphered. For a long time now, I have been dreaming about fusing poetry and comics and creating a poetic-comics or comic-poem. Working with Dan has finally made this possible.
HARRIS: where did your love affair with comics begin?
ALLON: I guess you could go back as far back as 6th grade when a friend of mine and I signed up for a comics course in our local library. One of my strongest memories after that was exchanging comics via letters with a pen pal who was passionate about comics just as much as I was. I have the original letters at home till today. In those early days I still didn't have a style of my own and I relied mainly on copying the comics I loved, especially the European ones like Asterix.
After that I took a very long break and only returned to drawing comics in 2009 during my Visual Communications studies in Shenkar College of Engineering, Design and Art. It's been an integral part of my artistic expression and journey ever since.
HARRIS: What are the key skills you need in order to be a good comics artist?
ALLON: If you know how to draw well but don't know how to write well – it's OK. If you know how to write well, but don't know how to draw well – I guess that's alright too. If you know how to do both well – that's ideal!
As a comics artist your primary focus is on figuring out how to tell the story you see in your vision. Your work doesn't necessarily have to be technically beautiful as a painting, or articulated as well as a novel or poem. You need to develop your own way of navigating between both worlds.
HARRIS: the heroes of the comics that you create are actually you two. What was the logic behind this choice?
GLOBERMAN: Dan and I thought it would be really funny to provide our readers with an inside view into what goes on behind the scenes of Hotem. So, we drew on our real-life experiences as friends and artistic collaborators and created world behind a world.
In order to add another dimension of both meaning and humor – we decided that the heroes of our comics will be our alter-egos as people and as artists. They are an extreme, comic and sometimes pathetic versions of ourselves: Dan's character is a neurotic, hysterical, and hypochondriac artist. He's also really clumsy: he has the best intentions but most of his efforts eventually fail.
ALLON: Avital's character is a slightly delusional magazine editor whose sole purpose in life is to dominate the art world and make the biggest and best art magazine of all times. She walks through life seeing everything, even the most mundane events and objects, as an opportunity to artistically correspond with the world's most famous works of art, literature and poetry.
HARRIS: What's the creative process for creating a comics?
GLOBERMAN: It's actually really fast and intuitive. Sometimes something funny happens to me or I hear a funny word or story, I get a "comics vision" and immediately contact Dan. Sometimes it's Dan that gets the vision first and contacts me. We have a very deep understanding of how each person thinks, so it's often just a fun process where we get to make each other laugh.
ALLON: Over the years I got used to drawing on my own and I just love the fact that I can now do this with a friend and collaborator. The creative process basically follows a very simple rule – if the comics makes us laugh – it's in!
GLOBERMAN: The creative process is also strongly connected to our friendship. We are constantly sharing our personal moments and stories. They are the raw materials of many of our comics.
ALLON: Sometimes the comics are a portrayal of an event, and sometimes they are as intimate as a confession.
HARRIS: Avital, what was your experience as a poet experimenting with this medium
GLOBERMAN:I think that the most interesting insight I gained from experimenting with comics is how liberating it is as an artistic medium. As someone who has spent years expressing herself through the media of poetry and literature, I suddenly discovered that comics enabled me to say things I just couldn't say in sentences or rhymes.
From an artistic collaboration standpoint, I also found that sharing the responsibility of creating the comics together with Dan also enabled me to stretch the limits of my comfort zone even further. This might sound funny, but when I wanted to express something sensitive or controversial, I just closed my eyes and imagined that people would read the comics and naturally attribute it to Dan. This gave me even more freedom.
HARRIS: Dan, what's your take on this from your perspective as an artist?
ALLON: Some artistic genres, such as poetry or literature, have hundreds of years of history. So, I feel that as an artist in these media you have to, for better or for worse, carry the burden of history on your shoulders. I think it can sometimes be a limiting, if not paralyzing, experience as an artist.
Comics, on the other hand, is relatively new and fresh and people usually perceive it as a medium for humor, although you can certainly use it to deal with very somber topics.
People approach comics with open hearts and minds. It's magically likable. It's coated with naivety.
For me, working with someone like Avital, is an opportunity to find a way to use this naivety to convey complex messages that would be much harder to convey or digest in other mediums.
We sometimes joke that we are basically luring people in with comics, but placing "Trojan Horses" inside of them.
HARRIS: do you feel that there is any added benefit to having a 2 dimensional and still comics strip on a digital platform such as the Hotem?
GLOBERMAN: Absolutely! What Dan and I have created is basically a "comics blog".
Instead of writing about the events and experiences that are shaping Dan and my artistic journey, we are drawing them and immediately posting them via our digital channel. Our life-strip is now a comic-strip.
Moreover, the Hotem readers are now able to observe and be part of our journey as they follow us through this medium. Sustaining and growing the community of artists and viewers is an important part of Hotem, so this fits in great with our mission.
HARRIS: As artists, both of you are originally from Tel-Aviv and are now based in Berlin. How do you approach different cultural backgrounds in your work?
GLOBERMAN: First of all, Hotem's platform had undergone a serious transformation in order to be accessible to new, international audiences. We introduced our English site a year ago, are launching now a German site, and have plans on expanding into other languages.
This shift is also reflected in our comics. Many of our comics over the past few months have dealt with our own transition from Tel-Aviv to Berlin. Our comics heroes or "alter-egos" are now exploring things that are connected to Berlin and to German culture. The neighborhood we live in, Berlin monuments, and even Angela Merkel have all found their way into our comics.
ALLON: We are totally aware of the fact that we are foreigners, and like foreigners we make a lot of funny mistakes because we don't really understand the culture or because we assume we do. One of our latest comics, for example, depicts our characters going to the Board of Foreigners (Ausländerbehörde) on a Sunday just to find out that it is closed, and my character's silly reaction is "well, it must be because of the snow".
HARRIS: Tell me about the upcoming issue and event in Berlin.
ALLON: The next issue will host me and my fellow comics artists from the Humdrum collective: Karen Katz, Hadar Reuven, Hila Noam and Omer Hoffman. We have been collaborating since 2013 on a number of international comics exhibitions, performances and we have also published a book, which can be found online.
The issue will focus on the theme of "Snow" and for us as comics artists this is a great theme as it is inherently visual.
We have been invited to take part in Comics Invasion Festival in Berlin. We are going to combine the launch of The English issue #2, "snow" (which features Humdrum collective), and the festival, so that we can provide people with a 360 degree comics experience, both in print and digitally, both in Berlin and around the world.

In May, a young white and brindle whippet was found left in the humane society's dog park; his rear legs were very weak, most likely from living his life in a cage, and he was not able to walk but several yards without becoming too tired and collapsing. In addition, he had an injury to one of his rear legs causing him to limp. He was deemed too shy for adoption at the shelter, but we knew with a little TLC, he would come right out of his shell and make someone a great dog. We quickly brought him into our KAWS family and named him Akahai, Aka for short. Dinah and husband, Dave, were happy to foster Aka and nurse him back to health. Within a month's time Aka was able to run and play with the other dogs, his rear limp was nearly undetectable, and he gained 10 pounds of weight as well as confidence. Thousands of miles away, Rebecca and Al in Oregon, had already fallen in love with Aka and knew he would be the perfect addition to their family which also includes greyhounds, Magic and Wilma. When Aka was ready, he traveled with KAWS gals, Mia and Phoebe to Seattle. Mia traveled on to Hoagie's House while Aka and Phoebe were met by Dr. Karen and her daughter who took them to Dr. Karen's veterinary clinic for the night. The next day, our fabulous whippet foster, Lori, and her friend, Debbie, brought Aka and Phoebe to the Whippet Spaw in Portland where they soon met their new families. Rebecca and Al say that Aka, who is now named Dano, has completely settled into their home. His favorite place is on his dad's lap in the man recliner. He is going out on walks and follows older canine sister, Wilma, around like a little lamb. Dano has figured out that creature comforts are a good thing and sleeps between his parents and likes to burrow under the covers. Rebecca tells us, "All in all, he is a wonderful addition to our family, and we're happy, happy to have him." From a life in a cage to a little prince of the house, Dano has come a long way and we couldn't be happier for him and his new family.

Swimming in a Natural pool among flowering plants of lilies, iris and marsh marigolds is a celebration of life. Soothing your limbs and mind and skin and eyes, it seems every cell in your body is telling you - this is the way swimming should be. Natural Pools work entirely with nature to provide hygienic water for swimming.
Over the past five years, building my own pools and meeting experts on Natural Swimming Pools, I have re-thought the processes needed to create hygienic swimming water and I have come up with a system completely geared to fellow DIY pond builders. I try to minimise resources, incorporating reclaimed materials and I even make filters from reused household objects and domestic plumbing. In addition, my pools use a fraction of the electrical energy most Natural Swimming Pools require to maintain them. All of this is achieved without compromising healthy water. The water was recently tested and shown to be of drinking water quality. And of course, these pools have been designed to benefit wildlife - they are a nature reserve you can swim in! I hope by showing you how I've done it, you will be inspired to start digging for yourself.
This pool is about 180m2 in total. The central swimming area is 4.5m x11.5m and 2.2m deep. It took me a couple of years of weekends and days off to complete and cost around 6000GBP.
The liner is pulled roughly in place.
An area of gravel creates a beach for access to the pool. A wooden jetty has been built for diving into the swimming zone and some steps for a gentle introduction to the shallows. Plants are flourishing and the water is clear.

Rep. Frankel leads historic joint session to honor victims of October 27
Joint sessionKeeping memories alive
Pittsburgh delegation, including family members of the victims, survivors of the October 27 attack and community members, traveled to Harrisburg for the historic joint session.

Members of the Pittsburgh Jewish community, including survivors and family members of the 11 victims from the Oct. 27 attack at the Tree of Life building, traveled to Harrisburg last week for a rare joint legislative session. State Rep. Dan Frankel, D-Allegheny, was among those to address the joint session. He described how Squirrel Hill is not only the neighborhood he represents, but his childhood home.
"I learned to ride my bike on Fernwald Road and can still tell you where the good sledding hills are," he said. "Because the neighborhood is densely populated and largely walkable, people know each other. When the weather is nice, there is a rich social life on the porches and sidewalks as people chitchat and watch children play."
Many people learned about Squirrel Hill only after Oct. 27, he said, but its way of life, and the memory of those lost on that day, must not be forgotten.
During his 15-minute address, Frankel decried the rising threat of hate speech and warned that "repeated often enough, ignored often enough and rationalized often enough, these words create an environment in which atrocities are possible, maybe even inevitable. This phenomenon has cost us dearly in my community."

Frankel introduced a resolution to establish April 10 as "Stronger Than Hate Day," a day to "honor the individuals who lost their lives, the first responders and others affected by the deadliest act of anti-Semitic violence on U.S. soil." Members of the Pennsylvania House and Senate voted unanimously to enact the resolution.
"The respect that Rep. Frankel and the leadership in the Pennsylvania House and Senate showed meant so much to the victims' families and helped with our healing process," said Michele Rosenthal, sister of Cecil and David Rosenthal.
"It was nice and great to be appreciated and recognized in the way they did," echoed Barry Werber, a survivor of the attack.
Joshua Sayles, director of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh's Community Relations Council, was among those who traveled by bus from Pittsburgh to attend the event. He praised Rep. Frankel and House Speaker Mike Turzai "for making this happen."
"Everybody in leadership understands how devastating this is to our community," added Sayles.
"We have not had a joint session of this kind since September 25, 2001, to remember the tragedy of 9/11 in our country. That is the gravity with which we are treating what happened in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on October 27, 2018," said Turzai.

Jeffrey Finkelstein, Federation's president and CEO, described the scene in an email as "so memorable. All the commonwealth's leadership was in the room. They heard Rabbi Jonathan Perlman from New Light Congregation open the session with an invocation and Rabbi Cheryl Klein from Dor Hadash close with a benediction. Both Representative Dan Frankel and Senator Jay Costa addressed all of us, speaking emotionally from deep in their hearts about what happened in their neighborhood to their neighbors."
"I'm the kind of person who when a couple is getting married and the bride is walking down the aisle, I look at the groom to see his face. I was looking at the faces of the legislators to see how they were reacting. No one was on their phone. No one was distracted. It was so powerful what was being said," recalled Meryl Ainsman, Federation board chair.
"To see a group that does not normally convene together and agree on stuff to unite the commonwealth on something that everyone should agree on meant a lot," said Rosenthal. "This journey is not an easy one, and to remember our loved ones and honor their memory meant so much to myself and I believe the other families," she added. "None of us know where this journey is going to take us, but it's important to carry on. Every person's loved one means something special for them, and this trip to Harrisburg and the opportunity with Rep. Frankel was just so respectful, and the love and support from the people we met is what means a lot, that's what is getting us through this."

While standing before legislators and public officials, including Gov. Tom Wolf, Lt. Gov. John Fetterman, Attorney General Josh Shapiro and Auditor General Eugene DePasquale, Frankel memorialized the victims of the terror attack: Joyce Fienberg, Richard Gottfried, Rose Mallinger, Jerry Rabinowitz, Cecil and David Rosenthal, Bernice and Sylvan Simon, Dan Stein, Mel Wax and Irv Younger.
That act of keeping their memories alive was greatly appreciated, noted Rosenthal.
"Losing my brothers, there are no words. I continue to say you are part of a club that no one should be part of. The 11 families who unfortunately have been brought together, I think that all of us, we don't want our loved ones to be forgotten." PJC

Beibut Shumenov Returns On Saturday Night
Beibut Shumenov returns on July 7th when he faces Turkish-German Hizni "The Warrior" Altunkaya for the vacant WBA Cruiserweight Title in Astana, Kazakhstan.
It should be noted that Shumenov will return to action after two years of inactivity due to an eye injury, which required surgery, and this situation forced him to renounce his WBA cruiserweight title.
His current opponent will be Hizni "The Warrior" Altunkaya, currently ranked world number three in the cruiserweight weight class in the WBA.
Shumenov will return to action with a record of 19 bouts, 17 wins and 2 losses and 11 knockouts.
In his record Shumenov has stand out fights with the likes of Montell Griffin, William Joppy, Bernard Hopkins, and Gabriel Campillo among others.
On the other side of the ring is Altunkaya, who has a record of 31 fights, 30 victories, 1 loss and 17 fights ended inside the distance.
One of the great motivations for the return of Shumenov has been nothing more and nothing less than Gennady "GGG" Golovkin, his friend and Olympic teammate and current WBA king of the middleweights.


Today my little one discovered that playing footsies with mommy is fun.
I keep reading the articles that have those week-by-week baby updates and they seem to be really off when it comes to Ace. He has discovered that touching things with his feet is fun, but doesn't want to use his hands to touch his feet which is supposedly the first thing babies want to play with.
My little guy already smiles like crazy, especially if he is seeing me – or his dad for the first time in the day. He's oohing and ahhing a bit too. Ace also has started reaching and grabbing for his sensory toys, as well as holding onto my sleeve when laying up against my chest. These 3 things are expected to happen around month three, and not before month 2 ~ Ace will be 2 months old in a week!
I'm taking every moment in and cherishing them.

Have you always dreamt of getting married in a special place? From this autumn, Bistró, the restaurant of the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, can be used as an exclusive wedding venue for couples who wish to have an unforgettable experience together with their family and friends.
Bistró is not a common restaurant. The curvilinear design of its interior, which is integrated in the museum, is part of the great sculptural work of Frank Gehry. Its terrace of titanium with views on the river is a fantastic place to have a cocktail with all the wedding guests.
Bread stuffed with crab, chicken brochettes, fried hake and cod croquettes are just some of the chef's specials. The chef will make you fall in love with the Basque cuisine as he pretends to transmit the essence of Bilbao by using products from this country, such as the sea bass, the sirloin and the kokotxas, all prepared in different ways.
And after dinner, you can dance at the bar in the museum with views on the famous Puppy of Jeff Koons. Be different and go for an avant-garde wedding!
