Microsoft has been in trouble for some time - but has taken its executives quite a while to realise it. Vista has been a massive flop. And M$ is becoming increasingly perceived as a company that has ruthlessly exploited its monopoly - fleecing its customers for vast sums of money whilst providing poor quality, insecure products.
Reading around the web there seems to be a growing feeling afoot that Microsoft has somehow "missed the boat"and is clinging to Yahoo in order to compete with its new arch-rival, Google. Indeed, BBC's Website Business Editor, Tim Weber describes itas, "Microsoft and Yahoo's shotgun marriage".
But let's cast aside personal bias and feelings and look instead at the figures. Both M$ and Yahoo's shares have been on a downward trajectory since before the beginning of the year. This trend pre-dates the current "sub-prime lending" gloom. Since 2007-11-01 Micro$haft has seen its shares fall from over $37.00 to around $32.00. In the same period, Yahoo shares have tumbled by over 33% from around $31.00 down to below $20.00. Yet M$'s offer for Yahoo of $44.6 billion is 62% more than Thursday's closing price. Also Yahoo is in the process of shedding 1000 staff - hardly the act of a booming corporation methinks.
I think all-in-all, I have to agree with Tim Weber. And whilst Microsoft is a huge company with a lot of resources at its disposal compared to its rivals, I seem to recall the similar things being said in the 1980's about the seemingly invincible "Big Blue" IBM.

 Electrostatic Discharge Testing | MET Laboratories, Inc.
MET Labs offers special ESD testing services at controlled temperature and humidity, in a specially-designed and dedicated chamber.
The chamber consists of ESD waveform verification setup and tables that accommodate a variety of EUTs. The chamber has a capability to vary the relative humidity from 15% to 65% and temperature from 18°C to 24°C.
As the ESD event is largely dependent on environmental conditions such as ambient temperature and humidity levels, having this specialized chamber allows for the variation of environmental conditions to see the impact on the device's performance. This helps determine the worst-case environmental conditions of a given device.
For compliance testing in accordance with EU and International requirements, electrostatic discharge testing is performed per IEC/EN 61000-4-2. It simulates ESD events directly to an electronic product or through a nearby metallic surface.
In general, a product may not see any impact of ESD testing at the upper end of the humidity range defined in the standard, since the ESD effect at that range is less severe than at lower humidity levels. This may result in a false sense of security.
We strongly recommend performing ESD testing where environmental variables can be precisely controlled. This can be particularly useful during the device's development cycle. At the same time, it makes debugging for ESD much easier and more effective.

Former Ohio State Senator Capri S. Cafaro is the newest executive in residence at American University's School of Public Affairs in Washington, DC. During her 10 years as a Democrat in the Ohio Senate, Cafaro established track record of legislative effectiveness and leadership, advocating for economic growth, healthcare and victim's rights.
As a State Senator, Cafaro served as the ranking member of both the Senate Medicaid Committee, the Joint Committee on Medicaid Oversight and the Senate Transportation, Commerce and Labor Committee. She was also the vice chair of the Senate Finance Subcommittee on Higher Education and a member of the Senate Ways and Means, Agriculture, Energy/Natural Resources and the Joint Legislative Ethics committees.
During her tenure, Cafaro passed numerous bills into law, including a law to stimulate the development of goods derived from the agriculture sector. She also implemented "Tourism Ohio," a dedicated program to promote the tourism economy in the state. Her efforts to change laws helped revitalize and grow small businesses, and reform Ohio Medicaid law.
Cafaro graduated at age 19 from Stanford University with a degree in American Studies. She earned two master's degrees: an MALS with a concentration in International Studies from Georgetown University, and a Master's in Social Work with a concentration in health and administration from The Ohio State University.
Cafaro was previously an adjunct at Youngstown State University where she taught a course on U.S. social welfare policy in their MSW program.

"The future was never meant to be this BLAND." so says the Outcast Manifesto in the sleeve notes to this first Wasp Factory comp. It goes on: "If there's one thing the future has given us, it's the tools to take the DIY Punk ethic that one stage further..." Nice sentiments but what about the content? Well, whilst not quite as anarchic nor chaotic as one might anticipate after reading the introduction, there's certainly something going down in the Wasp Factory worthy of your attention.
Sixteen tracks by eight artists - that's two a piece for the retards among you - with elements by ninth artist Freudstein 'scattered liberally throughout' the compilation. The result is slightly schizophrenic, not quite the cohesive, manifesto-driven sampler I was expecting. But I guess you can at least credit the label with selecting distinctive artists and not merely signing up variations on a theme. Having been entertained by The Chaos Engine several times live, I was disappointed by their two efforts - except for the final moments of Complicit neither really show them in their best light. Arkham Asylum's Machine and Get Some have some comedy value - but not sure if that's deliberate or merely a side product. Definitely not for me. next up are the reliable Leech Woman. Section 13 immediately offers up their trademark rhythmic rumbling but the remix of Kincaid is the contemplative sound of a wind-swept post apocalyptic landscape. Personal anathema Goteki are up next and nothing they offer up does anything to change my views.
Next we're treated to Tarantella Serpentine, the alter ego of one bespectacled man from Cheltenham. Whilst the "Crackwhore remix" of Cocaine Disco Riot does little to excite, the pumping Sugar Sugar is really quite intruiging. The opening moments in particular show some clever harsh techno tweaking that could see Tarantella doing strong repeat business on dancefloors across the globe. Hydra's two tracks Feverdream and Wake demonstrate the extremes of this anarchic post punk/post industrial project. I'm a fan of Hydra but Feverdream doesn't really go anywhere despite its brief running time. Wake on the other hand is about as 'musical' as Hydra get. With an addictive flabby bass line and their distinctive chaotic percussion (unusually) kept in the background. Excellent use of samples and vocal blend. Squid's Khurkh of the Binary Khrist (Remix) doesn't live up to its title, but by now it is possible to make out repeating patterns in at least some (if not all) the artists in the Wasp Factory stable. On their second track Squid, like Hydra before them, have taken the opportunity to show how diverse they can sound. The mid tempo Chasing Dragons is not only far more original than Khurkh... it's much better song writing too. Great use of guitars.

That spring, medicinal is a spring with healing properties [16].?
Your search for fractured rock aquifers (Keyword) returned 4 results for the whole karstbase:
Modeling of regional groundwater flow in fractured rock aquifers, PhD Thesis, 1990, Kraemer, S. R.
The regional movement of shallow groundwater in the fractured rock aquifer is examined through a conceptual-deterministic modeling approach. The computer program FRACNET represents the fracture zones as straight laminar flow conductors in connection to regional constant head boundaries within an impermeable rock matrix. Regional scale fracture zones are projected onto the horizontal plane, invoking the Dupuit-Forchheimer assumption for flow. The steady state flow solution for the two dimensional case is achieved by requiring nodal flow balances using a Gauss-Seidel iteration. Computer experiments based on statistically generated fracture networks demonstrate the emergence of preferred flow paths due to connectivity of fractures to sources or sinks of water, even in networks of uniformly distributed fractures of constant length and aperture. The implication is that discrete flow, often associated with the local scale, may maintain itself even at a regional scale. The distribution of uniform areal recharge is computed using the Analytic Element Method, and then coupled to the network flow solver to complete the regional water balance. The areal recharge weakens the development of preferential flow pathways. The possible replacement of a discrete fracture network by an equivalent porous medium is also investigated. A Mohr's circle analysis is presented to characterize the tensor relationship between the discharge vector and the piezometric gradient vector, even at scales below the representative elementary volume (REV). A consistent permeability tensor is sought in order to establish the REV scale and justify replacement of the discrete fracture network by an equivalent porous medium. Finally, hydrological factors influencing the chemical dissolution and initiation of conduits in carbonate (karst) terrain are examined. Based on hydrological considerations, and given the appropriate geochemical and hydrogeological conditions, the preferred flow paths are expected to develop with time into caves.
Microorganisms as tracers in groundwater injection and recovery experiments: a review, 1997, Harvey R. W. ,
Modern day injection and recovery techniques designed to examine the transport behavior of microorganisms in groundwater have evolved from experiments conducted in the late 1800s, in which bacteria that form red or yellow pigments were used to trace flow paths through karst and fractured-rock aquifers. A number of subsequent groundwater hydrology studies employed bacteriophage that can be injected into aquifers at very high concentrations (e.g., 10(13) phage ml(-1)) and monitored through many log units of dilution to follow groundwater flow paths for great distances, particularly in karst terrain. Starting in the 1930s, microbial indicators of fecal contamination (particularly coliform bacteria and their coliphages) were employed as tracers to determine potential migration of pathogens in groundwater. Several injection and recovery experiments performed in the 1990s employed indigenous groundwater microorganisms (both cultured and uncultured) that are better able to survive under in situ conditions. Better methods for labeling native bacteria (e.g. by stable isotope labeling or inserting genetic markers, such as the ability to cause ice nucleation) are being developed that will not compromise the organisms' viability during the experimental time course
Characterization of ground water flow from spring discharge in a crystalline rock environment, 2004, Gentry Wm, Burbey Tj,
Recent investigations describing the hydrogeology of the Blue Ridge Province of Virginia suggest the occurrence of multiple aquifers and flow paths that may be responsible for the variable flow behavior of springs and seeps appearing throughout the region. Deep, confined aquifers associated with ubiquitous faults and shallow, variably confined saprolite aquifers may contribute water to spring outlets resulting in significantly different quantities of discharge and water quality. Multiple analyses are required to adequately identify the flow paths to springs. In this investigation, hydrograph analyses, surface electrical resistivity surveys, aquifer tests, and nitrate concentrations are used in conjunction with previously reported analyses from borehole logs and age dating of ground water to identify two distinct flow paths. Results indicate that base flow occurs from a deep fault zone aquifer and such discharge can be maintained even during prolonged periods of drought, while increased discharge identified on hydrograph peaks suggests the occurrence of rapid flow through the saprolite aquifer within a radius of about 25 meters of the spring orifice. Springflow hydrograph analysis is suitable for rapid characterization of flow paths leading to spring outlets. Rapid characterization is important for evaluation of potential water quality problems arising from contamination of shallow and deep aquifers and for evaluation of water resource susceptibility to drought. The techniques evaluated here are suitable for use in other locations in fractured crystalline rock environments
Aquifers: the ultimate groundwater-dependent ecosystems, 2006, Humphreys W. F. ,
Australian aquifers support diverse metazoan faunas comprising obligate groundwater inhabitants, largely crustaceans but also including insects, worms, gastropods, mites and fish. They typically comprise short-range endemics, often of relictual lineages and sometimes widely vicariant from their closest relatives. They have been confined to subterranean environments from a range of geological eras and may contain information on the deep history of aquifers. Obligate groundwater fauna ( stygobites) occurs in the void spaces in karst, alluvial and fractured rock aquifers. They have convergent morphologies ( reduction or loss of eyes, pigment, enhanced nonoptic senses, vermiform body form) and depend on energy imported from the surface except in special cases of in situ chemoautotrophic energy fixation. In Australia, many stygofaunas in arid areas occur in brackish to saline waters, although they contain taxa from lineages generally restricted to freshwater systems. They may occur alongside species belonging to taxa considered typical of the marine littoral although far removed in space and time from marine influence. The ecological attributes of stygofauna makes them vulnerable to changes in habitat, which, combined with their taxonomic affinities, makes them a significant issue to biodiversity conservation. The interaction of vegetation and groundwater ecosystems is discussed and, in places, there are conservation issues common to both

Q: Is it possible to define countability without referring the natural numbers? Cantor defined countable sets as

A set is countable if there exists an injective function from the set to the set of natural numbers.

Still today countability is almost always defined in Cantor's words. Are the natural numbers really necessary to define countability. Most mathematicians admit that set theory is still a rich subject to study without getting into the conception of numbers. And I believe that the notion of countability is more fundamental than the set of natural numbers itself. Hence I wonder is it possible to define countability without referring the natural numbers?
Let $A$ be a set and let $S:A\rightarrow A$ be a successor function which is characterised by the following properties.

*

*Two different elements in $A$ can not have same successor.

*The successor of an element should not be its ancestor.
Shall I define countable sets as below?

A set is countable if there exists a successor function as characterised above.

A: Yes. You can. Depending on the available tools.

*

*A set $A$ is countable if and only if whenever $B\subseteq A$ and $|B|<|A|$, then $B$ is finite. If you want countable to refer only to infinite sets, then you can also add that there is a proper subset of $A$ which is equipotent with $A$.
Now, you might argue that finiteness depend on the natural numbers, but don't worry, Tarski got you covered: $X$ is finite if and only if the partial order $(\mathcal P(X),\subseteq)$ is well-founded.

*A set $A$ is countable if and only if it can be linearly ordered such that every proper initial segment is finite. Again, if you are only interested in infinite sets, add the requirement that there is no maximal element.

A:
A set $S$ is countable iff $S$ injects into every set $T$ that non-surjectively injects into $T$.

Basically, $S$ is countable iff $S$ is no larger than every infinite set.

A set is countable if there exists a successor function as characterised above.

Henning Makholm already explained why this is wrong, but I wish to point out that it is because you did not get an equivalence. If a set is countable then there exists a successor function like you said, but the converse does not hold.

A: Two sets are equipotent iff there is a bijection between them.
A set is finite iff it admits a total ordering in which every nonempty subset has a least element and a greatest element; otherwise it is infinite.
(Alternatively, a set $A$ is infinite iff the set $\mathcal P(\mathcal P(A))$ is equipotent to a proper subset of itself.)
A set is countable (finite or countably infinite) iff all of its infinite subsets are equipotent.

A: No that does not work. Even if you add a condition that there is an element (representing $0$) that is not the successor of anything), the definition would still claim that, for example
$$ (\mathbb R \setminus \mathbb Z) \cup \mathbb N $$
is countable, just by defining "successor" as the usual $x\mapsto x+1$.

What modern (since the early 1900s) set theory actually does does not depend directly on the natural numbers:

*

*A set $A$ is called inductive iff $\varnothing \in x$, and for every $x\in A$ it holds that $x\cup\{x\}\in A$ too.

*There's an explicit axiom of set theory promising that at least one inductive set exists.

*The intersection of all inductive sets is called $\omega$.

*A set is called "countable" if it is in bijective correspondence with (some subset of) $\omega$.

It turns out that the elements of $\omega$ are good candidates for representing the natural numbers within set theory, so usually we end up defining $\mathbb N$ to be an alternative name for $\omega$ -- but countability does not actually depend of the number-ness of $\omega$'s elements. (It doesn't care about arithmetic, for example).

A: If you're working in a constructive theory, then the concepts of denumerable (countable) and recursively enumerable (semidecidable) precisely coincide, so you can avoid direct reference to the natural numbers that way.
Certainly, if a set is recursively (computably) enumerable, then it is countable. A simple counting algorithm that outputs the members of the set can be used to demonstrate this fact. This works even in a classical setting, of course.
Now, if a set is countable, then the construction (in some formal system) of its characteristic function provides an algorithm for deciding the set, by the Curry-Howard correspondence. Thus the set is recursive. (The Curry-Howard correspondence, by virtue of being an isomorphism, can be used to show the converse too, but I wanted to show that the converse holds even in a classical theory, as per above.)

Exchanged Galaxy Note 7 US tally reaches 500K, global sales restart to take until November
Half of the one million dangerous Galaxy Note 7 copies sold stateside have been exchanged to date, as Samsung guns for a November global sales reboot.
LeEco appoints former Huawei President as head of all North America operations
Exchange,
explosion,
Galaxy Note 7,
Recall,
replacement,
Recalling every potentially faulty Galaxy Note 7 unit around the world certainly took guts, as Samsung yielded to a "heartbreaking" direct financial loss of at least $1 billion, not to mention indirect hits to the company's market value, brand recognition and, possibly, even its long-term product roadmap.
But apparently, the Korean tech giant remains confident it "can start to make up any ground that we have lost and get that momentum back into our business… as we exit 2016 and set ourselves up for a strong 2017."
It's unclear if the Galaxy S8 might be slated for an extremely early next year release to help with the aforementioned goal, though in the meantime, Samsung still intends to "give Note7 all the support we were going to give it in the first place."
"There is no backing away from it", according to European chief marketing officer David Lowes, who also stressed "we fully expect (new Note7s) to be available everywhere by the end of November."
That doesn't feel like a particularly ambitious deadline, seeing as how the exchange program appears to be accelerating quite nicely stateside, getting from the 25 to the 50 percent mark in just two days. Yes, Samsung Electronics America is proud to announce that "about half of all recalled Galaxy Note 7 phones sold in the US", i.e. half a million, have already been swapped or refunded.
The vast majority of these, namely 90 percent, were exchanged with safe-to-use Note 7 copies, which is undoubtedly music to the ears of Samsung's head honchos.

Example of a sentence that mends a community

WHEN Deniliquin police called on Rhiannon Beckwith late in the evening of May 17, 2010 she knew it would be bad news. Perhaps the worst.
Her two-year-old daughter Dakota was asleep. Son Corben was a week off being born.
He turned up the day after their father, Michael McMahon's funeral.
McMahon was killed by a drunk driving at speeds a judge described as "almost homicidal".
Jason Paul Pasznyk is an arrogant alcoholic to whom the lives of others is a sideshow that need be of no concern.
Before killing McMahon he had registered four convictions for drink-driving, the rules of the road not applying to him.
On the day he killed Dakota's dad he was unlicensed, but you probably guessed that.
What happened when the worthless Pasznyk collided with the innocent, industrious McMahon makes for difficult reading: Travelling on the Melton-Gisborne Road on his way from Deniliquin to Geelong to work, McMahon was hit from behind by Pasznyk who was driving at about 130km/h.
It was a 70km/h zone.
But those signs didn't apply to Pasznyk, who hadn't held a licence for years.
The impact was so great that parts of the rear of McMahon's vehicle were forced through its front grille.
McMahon's petrol tank ruptured and caught fire and the poor man was engulfed in the inferno.
Pasznyk's priors predictably included careless and dangerous driving, and even refusing a breath test.
Hours after the "accident", which seems an awkwardly inadequate word, he blew .203.
He'd been drinking bourbon all day.
Friends told him to catch a cab, but, as usual, Pasznyk knew better.
His lawyer, seeking leniency, noted that Pasznyk had written to his victim's family, but McMahon's partner, Rhiannon Beckwith, didn't spot any remorse when he was dealt with last week.
Sentencing must mean much more than punishment.
As Melbourne doctor Michael Keane told me a year ago, inadequate justice can damage the brain.
"A grossly inadequate sentence that is completely incongruous to the rational mind - that can cause a secondary brain injury," he said.
"Real justice can repair some of the damage done by the original crime."
And so it has been for McMahon's family.
Judge Gerard Mullaly looked at Pasznyk and saw someone with an insouciant disregard for the welfare of others.
"That's someone who doesn't care, just wants to drive his car, whether he's drunk or not," said Judge Mullaly, sentencing the menace to 10 and a half years' jail with a non-parole period of eight years, according to Herald Sun files the longest sentence given for a conviction of culpable driving.
Witnessing this important landmark was Mrs Denise Walzer, McMahon's mum, watching from Toowoomba via a video link. Michael was her only child.
He would have turned 40 on January 10.
The dreadful news so undermined Mrs Walzer's health that she could not attend her son's funeral.
"Because of the shock of what happened my health just went belly up," she said.
The family suffers from low blood pressure. Mrs Walzer's went through the roof.
She developed kidney, lung and respiratory problems.
She proudly remembers her son as a remarkable boy who "was completely fluent with his speech before two".
His teacher told Mrs Walzer, a retired nurse, that "he was the smartest child I've ever taught".
The young Michael picked up instruments and played them by ear.
Life without her son?
"There isn't any. Our lives ended with the death of Michael."
On the sentence? "It's blown everyone away. This doesn't normally happen."
That's right. It doesn't. And Judge Mullaly should be congratulated.
Rhiannon Beckwith has to wrestle with the notion of explaining one day what sort of man was their father with a combination of photographs and memories.
"My daughter has the photograph that was on his coffin in her bedroom," she said of Dakota who turned four at the weekend.
She tells people "he's in Heaven safe, driving cars".
Despite the difficulty of travelling four hours with young children, and the costs involved "there was no way I was going to miss the sentencing".
"It was important to see him (Pasznyk) brought to justice. It was a strange feeling, but a good feeling when they said he had gotten a fairly lengthy sentence."
She had been told not to be surprised if her partner's killer received only five years.
No sentence "was going to bring Michael back, but at least (Pasznyk) is off the road".
She thanked the judge for not being unduly influenced by the killer's various sob stories.
She still sees the police who arrived on her doorstep around town, awkward encounters that are difficult for them all.
Michael McMahon's death rippled through various communities and families and they are all still suffering.
Judge Mullaly clearly understands that better than most and has made life a little easier for them.


The first time I ate these I sighed audibly, I couldn't help myself. These are so good.
I used the silver dollar pancakes recipe from Elana's Pantry and added fresh picked blueberries. They are cooked in butter and topped with honey butter. This is the key to making them taste like blueberry donuts but they can certainly be cooked in other oils and topped with other condiments.
Flip after a couple minutes when the tops look slightly dry- they don't bubble on top as much as traditional pancakes do.
Cook a couple of minutes on the other side and repeat.
Top with butter and honey and melt into sweet, sweet heaven.
Just read a Tweet about this from Dr. Vikki Petersen @TheGlutenEffect. They sound wonderful; and sugar free! Love it! Have to try them soon! Thanks!

Protecting the Victims Again
Anna Wrobel
The Continuity Between Resisters and Victims in the Holocaust
by Anna Wrobel
From the Autumn 2015 special issue of Jewish Currents on the theme, "Honoring the Jewish Resistance."
[caption id="attachment_39794" align="alignright" width="300"] Yom HaShoah in Israel: The siren sounds.[/caption]
THERE IS NO BINARY CODE of resister versus victim when it comes to the Nazi genocide, but a continuum occupied by both, the one intimately fused to the other. Honoring resisters is a noble project that must be achieved, therefore, without demeaning the dead and the survivors. What unified Europe's Jews, regardless of location, age, or activity during the war, was that all were victims of the "Final Solution" — and it is identification with the victim that produced, and today produces, compassionate acts of struggle.
My parents were resisters and fighters. My mother, Eta Chait, was a saboteur, ten months in a Gestapo prison, two years in the Polish woods as a rescue partisan with baptismal papers and a crucifix. She was a punisher of Jew-murderers, and a group "surgeon" because of a steady hand that removed a bullet from her own infected leg after she'd crawled from a pile of bodies under which she'd lain waiting for Nazi murderers to depart. She was the lone survivor of a family of twelve.
My father, Henry Wrobel, escaped into Russia after the deaths of his parents. Until June, 1941, Henry (Gennady in Russian) lived on a kolkhoz (communal farm). With the German invasion of the USSR, Gennady entered the Soviet Army as a scout and combat soldier. During the battles for Poland, a severe head wound put him in a coma for twenty-two days. A Soviet mobile hospital saved his life and brain (also saving my mother's leg).
My brother, born in Poland, my sister, born in a DP camp in Germany, and I, born in Brooklyn, are the children of a couple of "tough hombres."
Recent emphasis on Jewish partisan activity has characterized such folks as "heroes," and indeed they were. We saw our parents go off to Wagro meetings (Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and Resistance Organization) every month. As a child, I had little idea of the source of import of those meetings. There were also survivors of concentration camps in our refugee communities. I suppose there was a different air about those who spent the war outside rather than inside the camps, but it was too subtle for a child to ascertain as I witnessed the grief and anguish of our parents well before learning of their resistant bravery and desperate courage.
My parents taught us that the foremost role of Jewish resistance is to fight for the memory of the dead — the beaten, broken, terrorized, starved, diseased, deceived. The majority of resisters and fighters, after all, were also killed. "Hero" and "victim" blur within actual contexts. Jews were trapped across a whole continent, where many non-Jews, too, lived in terror while others murderously practiced Jew-hatred without legal repercussions. All European Jews lost families, homes, and futures, as two thirds of the nine million fell to bullets, gas, and dust.
LET'S HAVE DONE with the binary, then — but also with the slander, "sheep to slaughter." Young Jews who used this phrase in the ghettos and camps were expressing the universal generation gap of youthful rebellion versus their elders' more conservative hopes for preserving the remnants of their people. Young Native American warriors often confronted their chiefs on similar grounds. Fearing deadly mass reprisals, elders and parents with children think differently than the young and childless. (For this reason, Southern slaveholders, unlike those in the Caribbean, encouraged "marriage" and children among their slaves, to quell rebellious sentiments.)
My mother said that "everyone wanted to live." What should her mother have done? Would I be prouder if my grandmother Shaindel had run to the wooded meeting spot, leaving her little ones to be dragged to Treblinka without her? If she'd survived, would she have been sane?
What about my mother's smart, strong, Nazi-fighting brother, who refused to jump off the train to Treblinka, although he'd jumped off a death train once before. Two friends leapt and survived, one as a partisan, one in hiding, but Sholem didn't jump because his 15-year-old sister Faiga was on that train, in another car. Would I be prouder if he'd not gone "like sheep to slaughter?" Whether he'd lived or died, he surely would have taken some Nazis to their doom — but he wouldn't leave Faiga. Wasn't this, too, resistance? Perhaps the ultimate act? Did Faiga get to see him, to know she'd not been abandoned? Was his sacrifice a waste? Two hours after arrival, they'd both lie in a mass grave.
My mother spoke of seasoned German troops who, upon surrendering with arms high above their heads, walked in endless lines in front of two armed Soviet soldiers. "They didn't go like sheep," she would say, "but like dogs." Those Germans soldiers, too, wanted to live, and, when ragged and beaten, they saw compliance as their best chance.
It is for descendants of fighters to protect the victims from being re-victimized by capitalism's binary code of winners and losers and its battle-oriented cultural psychology and consumerist ideology. Some contemporary American Jews might need the combat partisan — or the Israel Defense Force — to feel secure in themselves, as if the heroic might inoculate against victimhood. Others would rather define themselves without reference to either Holocaust or Israel. I wish them all luck.
WHAT OF THE GENERATION that greeted the survivors? To most postwar American Jews, survivor refugees were an undifferentiated mass. Their plight was incomprehensible and monolithic, with little variation perceived between survivors' locales and circumstances. What American Jews saw were impoverished masses of young Jews without elders and with few children. It was assumed that most had been in camps. Any notion of resistance was then alien to American Jews, and survivors who had been with Soviet partisans or in the Soviet Army had to hide that fact in HUAC America.
Great work was done by aid organizations — the National Council of Jewish Women, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society (HIAS), and the Joint Distribution Committee, among them. But domestic anti-Semitism had been at its height in the first half of the 20th century; anxiety that Jewish survivors might arouse further antagonism was not groundless and could, at times, result in less than thoughtful behavior toward them, as in: "We suffered, too, could only get chicken twice a week," or "We didn't know so many of you survived." Such comments were part of the refugees' reception, sometimes carrying over into vicious jibes leveled by American youth. Oblivious and unkind comments projected the fear and shame experienced by some American Jews of the era. Yet there were also many Jews across every class and sect who responded with full hearts — including an anonymous Chicago surgeon who, pro bono, saved my and my mother's lives at childbirth, determined to keep two more Jews out of Hitler's grasp.
And in Israel? That tiny state was born within a lion's den of oil politics, geopolitical power play, and roiling postwar power vacuums. In 1948, Ben Gurion sent Golda Meir to Jordan's King Abdullah to beg for peace; only three years after Hitler, she was offered minority status in a binational parliament, and three years later, Abdullah was killed by Arab rivals. The dangerous continuum between victim and fighter was painfully clear in that drop of time between Auschwitz's end and Israel's beginning, and diaspora survivors held their breaths as the country they so dearly and desperately needed fought for its life, with little aid and with little United Nations intervention.
Compassion for camp survivors might have been forthcoming had the new country not immediately been invaded by five hostile nations. Israel needed fighters, however, and the Final Solution was just too close, so the response to the European survivors was to elevate the partisans and soldiers and to devalue the ghetto and camp survivors. Heroes also fit well the idealistic Zionist vision of a new Jew saved from exilic destruction and transformed by his or her long-lost homeland.
Partisans fought in the 1948 War of Independence and beyond. Kibbutzim were named for resisters, and the Ghetto Fighters' House was established on a northern kibbutz by ghetto rebels. In time, Israel's Yom HaShoah observance was established to honor both "martyrs and heroes," and so the "martyred" victims were raised closer to the status of fighter, for isn't a martyr one who dies for a cause? The problem with this language, however, was that these victims were not martyrs. None died for a cause, but were simply and horribly murdered.
Some ambivalence endures in Israeli thinking about the Holocaust, but new generations tend to sympathize with their lost European cousins, and do learn of the steel trap that imprisoned them. Thankfully, the "sheep-to-slaughter" rhetoric has receded from commemorative and educational sites such as Yad Vashem.
NEITHER THE HOLOCAUST nor Israel are end points of Jewish history — as predicted by the Final Solution, on the one hand, and a utopian socialist vision, on the other. The Holocaust and Israel have distinct yet overlapping histories: Zionism preceded the Holocaust, but both were born of European religious, ethnic, nationalist, and racialist anti-Semitism. Therefore the concurrence of the genocide and Israel's birth could not be willed away by early Israelis distancing themselves from ghettos and gas — nor by anti-Israel critics' condemnation of any invocation of the Holocaust in Israeli thought and action concerning its lonely position in a region hostile to minority nations. The concurrence cannot be severed by Zionist pride, nor by religious stubbornness, nor by ignorance, nor by hatred — and neither should it be abused for partisan purposes. Centuries of Jew-hatred, the longing for Zion, and the Holocaust are all phenomena to be fathomed but never enlisted for ideological exploitation.
Resistance is a practical matter, and Israel, early utopianism aside, was once a practical country.
Its ideological turn to the right must be resisted by progressive Israelis — who deserve to be engaged with, not excluded by, progressives worldwide, particularly in the Jewish diaspora and also among "enemies," including Palestinians and Iranians. Resistance means risk-taking, and while that often translates into fighting, it must also mean risk-taking for peace. If Jews can sit down with Germans (as we do), we can sit down with anyone (as we must). Call me crazy, but I envision diplomatic, cultural, and economic relations growing between Israel and Iran in the next several years. More ironic things have already happened.
MY MOTHER AND FATHER were heroes. So, too, was Sholem who didn't leave Faiga. So, too, was Shaindel, driven with small children down the diabolical gas "tube." So, too, Janusz Korczak, accompanying orphans to Treblinka while refusing his exemption as a celebrated man.
I have no illusions about myself in such conditions, and as a teacher I cultivate in my students a most un-American uncertainty. None of us know what we may or may not be equipped for in extremis. My mother, valedictorian of her high school, captain of its soccer team, university aspirant, never expected to sleep in holes in the woods, smuggle guns, place wounded children with farmers, punish denouncers. My father, son of an Orthodox orchard-keeper, young proletarian working in a foundry and wood mill, avid reader of leftist literature (though he could barely write), handsomer than Tyrone Power, with girlfriends aplenty, seldom thought to leave the fields and towns of Poland.
I was born of fighter parents, but the murdered and the broken, the gassed and the shot, their graves and their dust are also in me, and I haven't the luxury to alter that. I mean to rescue victimhood as a bridge to compassion and imagination. Empathy with the victim propels the impulse to justice. Identify with the hero if you will, but that, too, needs to be reclaimed as action for the sake of the broken. Jews who fought in armies and partisan units must, of course, be honored, but never at the cost of diminishing those for whom this option was impossible. I avoid the phrase "fought back," as the syntax implies choice, which was too seldom reality.
True resistance counters injustice. Authentic heroism confronts hubris and pride. "There are pestilences and there are victims," wrote Camus, but I seek to go beyond this understandable despair by understanding, too, that there is tikkun olam, a construct of creative life energy that assumes the existence of pestilence to be confronted and overcome, great sickness to be healed. Without tikkun olam, we are all victims of death culture. We resist because we are victims and not the pestilence. We resist because Buber's "I-Thou" and "authentic We" place us all in the same boat, to be not drowned but saved, as a commonwealth of victims, in resistance to the plague.

Princess Diana Had Publicly Addressed Her Affair with Major James Hewitt
"Yes, I was in love with him. But I was very let down," the princess revealed in an interview.
Nov 30 2020, 5:01 pm EST
Season 4 of The Crown focuses on Princess Diana's introduction to the royal family and her tumultuous marriage to Prince Charles. Unsurprisingly, Diana and Charles's alleged extramarital affairs also get some attention, even if those relationships aren't fully fleshed out on-screen. One such affair is the reported romance between Diana and James Hewitt.
Author Anna Pasternak detailed the alleged affair in her book Princess in Love. According to OprahMag.com, Hewitt revealed to Pasternak that his relationship with the princess took place from 1986 until 1991. Ahead, we dive deeper into the details surrounding Diana and her former lover.
Princess Diana met James Hewitt in 1986.
In his 1999 book, Love and War, Hewitt discussed meeting Diana. Per OprahMag.com, Hewitt revealed that the Princess of Wales asked him to give her riding lessons. "Only one thing went wrong," he wrote. "We fell in love."

According to Town & Country, the couple met "at a party thrown by her lady-in-waiting, Hazel West." At the time, Hewitt was serving in the British Army. He would fail his major's exam on three occasions, and when he retired in 1994 after 17 years of service, he was a captain. Hewitt was given the rank of major in retirement.
James used to sneak into Kensington Palace.
Pasternak wrote an essay for the Daily Mail about the affair and revealed, "Hewitt was regularly bundled into car boots and driven to Kensington Palace when their affair ensued. He told me he was terrified the first night he stayed in Kensington Palace, relieved at least that Charles and Diana had separate bedrooms. Apparently, she had 30 childhood cuddly toys lining the end of her bed."
Pasternak also alleged, "It surprised me that Hewitt was a fan of Prince Charles's, with whom he played polo. As is de rigueur in aristocratic circles, Charles knew of and welcomed their affair as it distracted Diana, taking pressure off him and Camilla."
Meanwhile, Pasternak claimed, "Camilla's husband, Andrew Parker Bowles, also knew of and condoned Charles and Camilla's relationship." Whether or not this is true, though, is unclear.
Diana's affair with James wasn't a well-kept secret.
As reported by The Sun, many people seemed to know about Diana's romance with Hewitt while it was happening. According to the publication, Ken Wharfe, Diana's former protection officer, detailed the princess's affair in his book Diana: Closely Guarded Secret. Per The Sun, Wharfe wrote, "Hewitt, a natural womanizer, gave her the attention and affection she relished, and then the passion she yearned for."
He continued, "At first, Diana refused to concede to me that her affair was anything less than innocent. 'Nothing is going on,' she would say, her face flushing red, as we drove back from a tryst, usually with the atmosphere tense in the car."
Though Wharfe's description of events was less than subtle, it would seem that people noticed what was going on between the pair.
Diana wrote James love letters.
Between 1989 and 1991, Diana and her beau wrote each other love letters. Apparently, they were common knowledge, because Hewitt has regularly expressed his desire to sell the letters to the highest bidder.
According to ABC News, the letters were written while Hewitt was serving as a tank commander in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. "There's nothing in the letters to be embarrassed or ashamed about," Hewitt said. "I think they're historical documents written by her to me as I served in the Gulf War, and they will become more and more of an important historical part of what went on."

In her Daily Mail article, Pasternak reported that one of Diana's letters said, "I have lain awake at night loving you desperately and thanking God for bringing you into my life—my darling one, you are the most magical and special person I've ever met, and how extraordinarily lucky I am to have been loved by you."
The affair cooled off due to James's military commitments.
Diana's affair with Hewitt ran out of steam in 1989, when he was posted in Germany. According to OprahMag.com, Tina Brown's The Diana Chronicles revealed that Diana didn't want Hewitt to be posted overseas. Brown alleged, "She said, 'You promised you'd always be here for me and now you've broken that promise.'"
Diana and Hewitt reportedly rekindled their affair briefly in 1990, but the princess later ended the relationship for good. According to the BBC, Diana "stopped taking Hewitt's telephone calls" in 1992.
Rumors about Prince Harry's parentage began.
The Diana Chronicles
Despite the fact that Prince Harry was born in September 1984, prior to Diana meeting Hewitt in 1986, rumors have long circulated that the equestrian might be Harry's father. However, Hewitt has categorically denied this on a number of occasions. During an interview with the Sunday Mirror in 2002, Hewitt said, "There really is no possibility whatsoever that I am Harry's father. I can absolutely assure you that I am not. Admittedly the red hair is similar to mine and people say we look alike. I have never encouraged these comparisons and although I was with Diana for a long time I must state once and for all that I'm not Harry's father. When I first met Diana, Harry was already a toddler."
Diana discussed the affair on British TV.
On November 20, 1995, Diana sat down with Martin Bashir on BBC's Panorama for a candid interview, via TIME. Not only did the princess admit to her relationship with Hewitt, but she also addressed his involvement in the writing of the tell-all book, Princess in Love, by Pasternak. "Yes, I adored him," Diana said. "Yes, I was in love with him. But I was very let down."
Diana was most likely referring to Hewitt's attempts to cash in on their dalliance. As noted by the BBC, "As well as a reported £300,000 fee for the book [Princess in Love], a subsequent interview in the News of the World is said to have brought him £1 million."
Following Diana's death in 1997, Hewitt remained in the spotlight following the royal affair. He opened a golf driving range, appeared on a celebrity version of The X Factor, and won the 2004 competition of Back to Reality.
In 2009, Hewitt opened the Polo House bar in Marbella, Spain, but it closed down in 2013. More recently, in 2017, Hewitt was admitted to the hospital after suffering a heart attack and stroke. He was later discharged, and now resides in South West England.

Expect more efforts to connect the disconnected, and teach seniors about the internet.
In a piece on an 82-year-old going online for the first time, The Washington Post called attention to a rising issue—the divide between those who use the Internet and those who don't (13% in the U.S., and 41% among senior citizens).
While seniors are increasingly connected (27% have tablets), many are still hesitant to hop on the digital bandwagon. Some are held back by economic or medical barriers, but many just feel that they've missed too much to catch up. Among offline seniors, 66% said they would need help if they ever wanted to learn about the Internet.
Luckily for them, services are popping up to fill this need. Toronto-based Cyber-Seniors links tech-curious elders with savvy young volunteers to facilitate community and bridge the divide. The group created a documentary last year that earned buzz and shed light on the issue. And in November the AARP partnered with DoSomething.org to recruit thousands of young people, including YouTube influencers, to teach older people about using the Internet.
Expect more efforts to connect the disconnected, as seniors who go online have proven less isolated, more educated about their health and more independent.

American television shows have become a merry-go-round of familiar faces. Casting directors, please take note
Andrew Billen
Vanessa Williams in Desperate HousewivesPlanet Photos
Bob Hope used to say that he could flick through TV channels at night and watch his hairline ebb and flow. This was less a joke against his thinning crown, or even the numbers of repeats on cable TV, than a boast about all the work he got from Hollywood through the decades. But Hope was a star. It is harder to account for the feeling, engendered by casual channel-zapping these days, that American television is cast from an extremely small repertory company of second-division actors.
Take the hottest US show, Mad Men. Its pathetic Roger Sterling is played by John Slattery, who, after a certain amount of infamy as the pee-fetish politician on Sex and the City, came to fame as Gabrielle's second husband…

The choice for Education by CWG as the core aspect of its social responsibility strategy is steeped in the company's belief that the best way to create a technologically driven society is through the support and reward for technological expertise in Higher institutions across locations where the company Operates in Africa. In Nigeria, this is fully operational, with active plans to support some selected Higher institutions in Uganda and Ghana. There is also an active plan to support institutions in Abuja and Port Harcourt as well.
Speaking during the event, Head of Media and Corporate Communications, Olatunji Babafemi, CSR Nigeria Awards, said The CSR Awards was launched by Ctru concepts in order to recognize companies that have made a difference to the communities in which they are active through their CSR programmes, hence the body honors them for their outstanding, innovative and world-class products, services, projects and programs in different categories. According to him, Organisations being honoured at the event, have demonstrated leadership, sincerity and on-going commitment in incorporating ethical values, compliance with legal requirements, respect for individuals, involvement in communities and protection of the environment where they carry out their businesses. He also added that the long-term growth and profitability of companies are inextricably linked to the sustainability and well-being of the community.
In receiving this award for Computer Warehouse Group Plc, Olapeju Ayo Fisher, CWG's Group Head, Human Resource, expressed her utmost thanks on behalf of the group, for the award and further explained CWG's strategic belief in giving back to society. According to Mrs. Fisher, 'CWG believes in giving back to the society with a clear focus on education as an integral aspect of her corporate identity. Education offers young individuals the best opportunity in life to realize their dreams and become the leaders of tomorrow. Hence as the Company expands beyond the shores of Nigeria, it is poised to replicate and fulfill these requirements in other African Countries'. She noted also the Company's poise to develop skills through its in house academy, where skills are nurtured and developed in hardware, software and communications, with a bid to send them back to society as professionals so that they can also provide the acquired expertise to other organisations or even set up technological outfits on their own. Hence, she continues, 'this award apart from being an honourable one, challenges us more as an organisation to continue the work of educational development. We hope it would also spur other organisations to support the further development of technology in Nigeria and by extension, the African Continent'.

Moisten with water and add 10 millilitres of a 15 % solution of sulphuric acid and 10 millilitres hydrofluoric acid. Heat in sand bath until white fumes are given off. Allow to cool and treat again with 10 millilitres hydrofluoric acid. Heat until reappearance of white fumes. Allow to cool and rinse the sides of the dish with water. Heat until reappearance of white fumes. Allow to cool, carefully add 10 millilitres of water, then transfer to a 400 millilitres beaker. Rinse the dish several times with a 10 % sulphuric and solution and dilute to 100 millilitres with same solution. Boil for 2-3 minutes. Leave to stand overnight.
Pass through a filtering crucible of 4 porosity, wash first of all with a 10 % solution of sulphuric acid, then two or three times with ethyl alcohol. Dry for one hour in an oven at 150 ºC. Weigh BaSO4 + PbSO4.
Weigh, to within 0.0001 grammes, about 0.5 grammes of powdered glass and place in a platinum dish. Moisten with water and add 10 millilitres of hydrofluoric acid and 5 millilitres perchloric acid. Heat in sand bath until white fumes are given off.
Allow to cool and add a further 10 millilitres hydrofluoric acid. Heat until reappearance of white fumes. Allow to cool and rinse the sides of the dish with distilled water. Heat again and evaporate until almost dry. Start again with 50 millilitres of a 10 % solution of hydrochloric acid and heat gently to aid dissolution. Transfer to a 400 millilitres beaker and dilute to 200 millilitres with water. Bring to boil and pass a current of hydrogen sulphide through the hot solution. When the precipitate of lead sulphide drops to the bottom of the beaker, turn off the hydrogen sulphide. Pass through a fine filter paper and wash with cold water saturated with hydrogen sulphide.
Boil the filtrates and then, if necessary, reduce them by evaporation to 300 millilitres. Add to boiling mixture 10 millilitres of a 10 % solution of sulphuric acid. Remove from heat and leave to stand for at least four hours.
Pass through a fine filter paper, wash with cold water. Calcine the precipitate to 1050 ºC, and weigh the BaSO4.
Evaporate the filtrates from the separation of BaSO4 so as to reduce their volume to 200 millilitres. Neutralise with ammonia in the presence of methyl red and add 20 millilitres of N/10 sulphuric acid. Adjust the pH to 2 (pH meter) by adding N/10 sulphuric acid or N/10 caustic soda whichever the case, and precipitate the zinc sulphide in the cold by passing a current of hydrogen sulphide. Let the precipitate settle for four hours, then collect on a fine filter paper. Wash with cold water saturated with hydrogen sulphide. Dissolve the precipitate on the filter by pouring through it 25 millilitres of a hot 10 % solution of hydrochloric acid. Wash the filter with boiling water until a volume of about 150 millilitres is obtained. Neutralise with ammonia in the presence of litmus paper, then add 1-2 grammes solid urotropine to buffer the solution to about pH 5.

Looking to watch the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games? Whether you want to do so on your TV, via a live stream online, or on the radio, we've got you covered – this our ultimate guide with everything you need to know.
2021 Summer Olympics Details, location and date
As mentioned, it will happen from July 23 to August 8, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan.
Tokyo came as the host city back then during the 125th IOC Session in Buenos Aires on September 7, 2013. The games will be the mark of returning Summer Olympics to Tokyo for the first time after 1964.
It will also mark the record that Tokyo is the first city in Asia which hosts the Olympic twice. In total, there are four Olympics held in Japan.
The Seven network is the only place to watch the Olympics on TV this year. The deal for the 2021 Games is the same one which came into effect for the 2016 Games and gives Seven the exclusive rights for Australian television audiences.
Seven will broadcasting their Olympics coverage across all three of their channels – 7, 7TWO, and 7mate.
Seven is also the place to go to if you are keen on finding a live stream for any event. They are live streaming all three of their channels' coverage live online, both through their website and through the Olympics on 7 app, available for iOS and Android.
However, that's not all – if you're keen to watch an event that is not being shown on one of Seven's three channels, you do still have the ability to live stream it online or through the app.
Unlike four years ago though, you won't need to pay for the right to watch every single event out of Japan. Instead, it'll all be for free through a yet to be confirmed Channel Seven digital application. All you'll need to provide is an email address and some personal details to access thousands of additional hours of content, which Seven have also said will be streamed in HD.
So how are you going to know when you need to watch? We've got you covered of course, with the ultimate Olympics TV Guide for Australians, to let you know what's on TV and when, all in AEST time.
If you're looking for even more detail, you can hit up our Olympics Events Guide for Australians which lists every single event on at Tokyo 2021, and the AEST time and date that it'll occur.
If you're wanting to listen into the Olympics coverage on radio instead, there are a couple of different options.

1. If using soaked dried chickpeas, drain them and put them in a saucepan with the water and bring to the boil. Skim off the foam as it rises. Stick the garlic cloves on the point of knife and hold them in a flame until the papery covering blackens at the edges. Drop the singed garlic cloves in with the chickpeas. Add the olive oil, vegetable stock cubes, bay leaf, coriander, peppercorns, onion and herbs. Bring back to the boil, then turn down the heat, cover and cook for 1 ½ -2 hours, until the chickpeas are quite soft. Keep the liquid at a rapid simmer, don't add salt, and if you need to add more water, make sure it's boiling.
2. If using tinned chickpeas, drain, add to the water with all the flavourings, and cook for 30 minutes. 3.When the chickpeas are tender and well-flavoured, remove the ham bone if using, add the sliced potato and cook until tender. Stir in the spinach and bring back to the boil. Add salt to taste.
4. Meanwhile, fry the strips of pepper in the olive oil with the garlic until the peppers soften and caramelize a little.
5. Serve the soup piping hot, with a spoonful of the peppers and their oily and garlicky juices in each serving. Sprinkle with parsley and serve with plenty of rough country bread rubbed with tomato and garlic.


A lot of professions require constant training to ensure your skill sets stay sharp, but it takes an even deeper meaning when your job involves saving lives.
On Friday, recruits wore full protective gear, fighting a simulated fire originating from a compressed gas vessel.
Ten new recruits took part in the exercise at Fire Station No. 4 on the north side of town.
"For the last 10 weeks we've been doing primarily our fire training," Recruit Jason Demoskoff said. "It's pretty intensive, very physical for the most part with fairly heavy didactic portion in the classroom, as well.
The 12-week course focuses on both fire fighting and emergency services training.
With 10 weeks under their belt, trainees will now focus on two weeks of EMS training and then write a provincially mandated exam.
