Last surviving offspring of Hyderabad Nizam passes away
https://latestnews.fresherslive.com/articles/last-surviving-offspring-of-hyderabad-nizam-passes-away-135159 2020-07-28 10:54:09 GMT
Hyderabad, July 28 (IANS) Sahebzadi Basheerunnisa Begum, the last surviving daughter of Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan, the last ruler of erstwhile Hyderabad State, passed away here on Tuesday. She was 93.
She breathed her last at her residence in Purani Haveli on Tuesday morning. She is survived by her only daughter Rasheedunnisa Begum.
"It's a big loss to the family as Sahebzadi Basheerunnissa Begum Saheba was an epitome of Hyderabadi culture, tradition and values," Nizam's grandson and president of Nizam Family Welfare Association Nawab Najaf Ali Khan told IANS.
She was buried at Dargah Hazrat Yahiya Pasha in the old city of Hyderabad. Several members of the Nizam's family participated in the funeral.
Basheerunnissa Begum was married to Nawab Kazim Yar Jung, better known as Ali Pasha, who passed away in 1998.
Mir Osman Ali Khan, who was the world's richest man of his time, died in 1967.
The last Nizam had refused to accede to India after the country's independence on August 15, 1947. He wanted to remain an independent state or join Pakistan.
The princely state finally merged with the Indian Union in September 1948 after an operation by the Indian Army.

Format: Randy will demonstrate techniques as they apply to MMA, mental skills, nutrition and will have 30 minutes of Q&A to wrap up the session followed by autograph signing.
Register: You may call the gym at 702.616.1022 or go to our web page sign-up form.
We had a sell out crowd of 40 people from across the U.S., the UK and Canada in the gym this weekend for our 2nd Xtreme Camp.
Randy, Jay Hieron, Mike Pyle and Martin Kampmann instructed the campers. They recieved 8 hours of training over three days and had several question and answer sessions with Randy and the guys.
For photos of the camp check out our Flickr account.
We're hoping to do another camp in the Spring or early Summer. It depends on Randy's film commitments. As soon as we have a date we'll announce camp #3.
We completed our very first Xtreme Camp this weekend. Attendees got to train with Randy, Mike Pyle and special guest Dean Lister. Everybody got in a ton of work during the 8 hours on the mats. After workouts Randy, Mike and Dean stayed until everyone had every conceivable question answered.
One attendee said it was "a religious experience". From what I understand everyone else had fun too.
We're hoping to do another camp soon, ideally in November. Sign up for our newsletter at xtremecouture.tv and you'll be the first to know the official date.
Enjoy some pictures from the weekend.


The Show must go, one of the great Soul Album sung by one of the best singer of the 70s in the vein of Willie Hutch.
All tracks are killer soul tunes recorded between 1972 and 1975. Listen to "child of the streets", "Come back strong", "Worn out broken heart", "Trouble child".

For the record, the piece is "Largo al factotum."
Magical Maestro is a 1952 animated short, directed by Tex Avery. The plot of the cartoon is fairly simple. A magician tries to get a job in a theatre, but is kicked out by the opera singer of the house because the theatre is playing a concert, not a magic show. In an act of revenge the magician disguises himself as the conductor and changes the opera singer into all kinds of wacky characters by using his magic wand as a baton. Finally the magician's wig comes loose and the opera singer recognizes him. He runs off without his magic wand, but the singer brings him back and acts out a similar act of revenge on him.
Magical Maestro is one of Avery's most famous and popular cartoons. It is inducted in the National Film Registry since 1993, the only Avery short so far to be inducted there.
Magical Maestro provides examples of:
All Asians Wear Conical Straw Hats: After being thrown a cymbal on his head the singer changes into a Chinese man from Imperial China with a conical straw hat. This is typically cut from TV airings.
Amusing Injuries: Even the obligatory anvil is dropped on the head.
Anvil on Head: The irate audience member drops one on the head of the opera singer.
Blackface: In one gag that's almost always cut from TV airings, an irate audience member sprays Poochini with ink from a fountain pen, briefly turning him into a black singer.
Born in the Theatre: There appears an animated "hair" caught in the projector gate that was so realistic it drove projectionists crazy... until the action suddenly stops and the on-screen cartoon singer plucks it and throws it away (see the picture above). Supposedly the canister for the cartoon's film included a warning label to try and put the projectionists at ease.
Bowdlerize: Understandably, several of the more racially-insensitive jokes, such as the cymbal turning Poochini into a Chinaman (as well as the magician also being briefly turned into a Chinaman at the end) and ink from a pen turning him into a black minstrel, are often cut in syndication.
Cartoon Conductor: Expected when you're using a magic wand as a conductor's baton.
Disproportionate Retribution: Presto sabotages the Great Poochini's opera performance solely because he wasn't hired as an opening act — not that opera is well known for opening with a magic show in the first place, mind you.
The Dog Bites Back: A literal example. After the magician is outed, Poochini angrily grabs his wand, levitates him onto the stage and forces him to reenact Poochini's entire performance in about five seconds. Including the Hula and Luaus.
Getting the Boot: Presto's audition for Poochini only gets him kicked out into the street.
Hoist by His Own Petard: The climax, in which the magician's wig falls off and Poochini nails him with his own wand.
Hula and Luaus: The singer is forced to perform a hula and luau dance at one point.
Magicians Are Wizards: For a magician his magic skills sure go far! They defy the laws of gravity and physics in seconds.
Ninja Prop: A stray hair is seen shaking around at the bottom of the screen — a common problem with films at the time. That is, until Poochini actually plucks the annoying hair out. (This gag is rumored to have turned a few projectionists bonkers as they tried to remove the way-too-realistic hair.)
Not-So-Phony Psychic: After being kicked out of the theater, the magician waves his wand around nonchalantly, which causes rabbits to appear. Even he seems surprised that its magic is real, and that's what gave him his idea for revenge.
Produce Pelting: An irate audience member hurls a huge pile of fruit at the stage, just in time for the singer to get turned into Carmen Miranda.
Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat: Rabbits appear in the singer's hands. As he hides them away, and lifts his hands again, they reappear, only with their numerous offspring. They also provide background singing for the "Mamãe Eu Quero" and "Hawaiian War Chant" moments (and apparently are a guitar for "Darling Clementine").
Punny Name: Poochini is a pun on the word pooch for dog and composer Giacomo Puccini.
Shout-Out:
After being pelted with fruit, the opera singer changes into Spicy Latina singer Carmen Miranda, who was known for her Tutti Frutti Hat.
After getting sprayed with ink, the singer transforms into a black artist, mimicking the R&B group The Ink Spots.
The Show Must Go On: It looks like nothing can prevent Poochini from singing "The Barber of Seville", not even Presto's magical pranks.
Standard Snippet: The only portion Poochini sings from The Barber of Seville is the famous Figaro chorus.
Stealth Pun:
After the singer is sprayed with ink, he transforms into a black singer. An underlying joke that modern audiences will probably not get is that he is imitating the R&B group The Ink Spots (specifically their frontman, Bill Kenny), again in line with the fact that his head is full of black ink.
After having an anvil dropped on his head by the very same audience member, the singer's body is compressed, referencing both The Ink Spots' bass, "Hoppy" Jones, and the band's "Top & Bottom" song format.
Tutti Frutti Hat: The fruit the heckler throws at Poochini becomes a hat when Mysto turns him into Carmen Miranda.
What Happened to the Mouse?: We never know the fate of the conductor who had his hair, clothes, and nose stolen by the magician.

We're celebrating Easter and Passover with more ideas for baked hams—and not one, but two—authorities on Jewish cooking share recipes for old-school brisket, chocolate-almond meringues, and oh-so-many ways with matzo. First, Leah Koenig, the author of Modern Jewish Cooking, shares recipes for freshened-up classics, like Matzo Ball Soup, then, in our final segment, David Kirschner, the recipe creator behind the book Matzo, shares some fun ways with everybody's favorite unleavened cracker. The most fun? Matzo Nachos, of course.
* A note on the music: our guest Leah Koenig pointed us to the beautiful music that closes out her segment. It's called Cheryl's Theme, by the group Sandcatchers. The band's talented guitarist, Yoshie Fruchter, happens to be Leah's husband. You can hear the entire song and watch a video of the performance on his web site, YoshieFruchter.com.

An hour-and-a-half long video where I address Jeremy Runnells' CES Letter point by point. A lot of rambling in between. A testimony at the end. The Spirit was there. With continual reference to the Rudolf Steiner, Satanic cults, and chewed-up pieces of gum.
Continuing my account of Swedenborg's symbolic take on the Bible, here I'm continuing my case on Genesis 12 giving literary parallels from Amelie to the Elder Scrolls to Daddy Long Legs. With continual reference to Teal Swan, Jordan Peterson, and the patriarchy.
My explanation of Christian mystic Emanuel Swedenborg's spiritual interpretation of the Bible, starting with Genesis 12. With continual reference to Jordan Peterson, Rupert Sheldrake, Gaston Bachelard, and how I think the CES Letter is imperialist.
The solution to world conflict? Work out contradiction in your soul and not in what you do or say to others. Become a contradictory creature. With continual references to Swedenborg, psychedelics, and the Stanley Parable.
When I was endowed last June, something shifted in me. The walls between me and the outside world cracked, and nothing has ever been the same. Especially after I return, I see others as extensions of myself. "Yes..." I say, "Of course I've always been them, just like I've always been them, just like I've always been me. Don't you remember?" Like the things you just know in dreams, the endowment kindles a memory that seems to come out of nowhere, that you didn't know before, but which you, nevertheless, have always known. We are all one. Tied together in God.
I distinctly remember looking at the brothers and the sisters in the room then, that June, and thinking "They are me, part of me body, just as I am a part of theirs." We surface into each other. Each one is my hand, my navel, my chest. All one, and the body is Christ's.
You walk through the world, afterward, changed. Everything gives a sense of nostalgia. You are home, home anywhere, everywhere. Love beckons. A light peeps out. Come on, they say, we have something to show you.
And this light, this Addams-Family hand, beckons you into another world. You see, now, yes...the world is more than you thought it was. Everything opens. Everything a veil, a veil now parted, which you can now see through. And there is light. And through the light, in the light, as the light, you are, all of you, each part of you, the parts of you scattered, in the things you see, in other people, in your childhood, all of you, all of you, now come home.
The world become beautiful again. The colors you knew in your childhood come back. You realize they were never meant to leave. The cartoons, the shiny toys, the grass, the trees, the apples, all of it, radiant as the first day, the first time, there in the Garden. You know who you are. You come home. And in that home, in that flesh, that first time, that primordial playpen, the corridors, nooks, and crannies of your primal, cosmic home, you remember, you remember, and nothing can ever be the same.
This is a time for play, a time for innocence, a time for trusting Father and Mother like you used to do. You've hidden, but you don't have to now. You can bear your scrapes proudly. Look!, you say, this is my scar, where I fell, where my body became mine. Where the blood came out. But now the blood is out there, part of the scar, no longer hidden, there for all to see. And so is everything. My face, yours, your eyes, mine, all linked together inextricably, unremittingly, all a circle, all, endlessly, a circle.
You see now! The scales have fallen from your eyes! The light comes back! Come out from hiding! I found you! No need to be afraid. Father and Mother have made lemonade, and it's time for us to go exploring in the woods out back. I'm excited: it's almost summer, and we have an eternity of worlds to explore. Come on!

NYCLU Statement on New York City Desegregation Plan from School Diversity Advisory Group
media@nyclu.org, 212-607-3304
The School Diversity Advisory Group, an appointed committee tasked to desegregate city public schools, released a host of recommendations the city can take to finally integrate schools and create a more diverse public school experience for all New York City Children.
The following statement is attributable to NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman:
"For too long, the legacy of racial and socioeconomic segregation has perpetuated vast inequalities in resources, experiences, and opportunities for public schools, students, and families. The first thing Mayor de Blasio must do to keep his promise to undo the purposeful racial segregation that still plagues our city's schools is to eliminate district lines that were drawn with the explicit intent to exclude communities of color and create a truly integrated school system. We are glad the SDAG is acknowledging the harms of the past in its recommendations for creating equity in the present."

Within 24 hours of Swift's post, more than 65,000 people registered to vote according to Vote.org (to compare, 190,178 voters registered nationwide during the entire month of September). The number of people between the ages of 18 and 29 who registered to vote in Tennessee also reached around 102,000 within two days following Swift's post. These eye-opening facts reveal the huge impact artists like Swift have on the socio-political climate.
The star's influence is not surprising considering her 112 million followers on Instagram alone, not to mention the tens of millions of fans that follow her on other social media accounts. Swift has been criticized in the past for not speaking up on issues, like equality and domestic violence, that she sings about.
Now, Swift has put her money where her mouth is, taking a chance at polarizing her brand by standing behind political issues.
Not only did Swift prove the impact celebrities can have when they utilize their platforms to speak out, but she also brought us back to an important conversation that, for some reason, still needs to be addressed: celebrities and athletes should never shut up about politics and "stick to their day jobs." There are some people who believe that celebrities are somehow not human beings who care about what's happening in the world around them. Many celebrities, like LeBron James, George Clooney, and (unfortunately) Kanye West have voiced their convictions. A person's job does not disqualify them to share their beliefs, political opinions, or their stances. To all the haters, "shake it off," Taylor. We're proud of you.

Unofficial St Pauls Carnival event in a front garden wanted to serve alcohol and have a sound system
The installation of speakers failed to get organisers backing

An unofficial St Pauls Carnival event at an end-of-terrace front garden has been refused permission after police and organisers opposed plans for a sound system because of crowd safety fears.
Bristol City Council's licensing sub-committee rejected a temporary event notice application for 2, Denbigh Street, amid concerns that loud music could encourage revellers to linger in the area and block emergency access.
The extravaganza's organisers did not object to the sale of alcohol on and off the premises between midday and 10pm on July 6 but refused to lend their support to the installation of speakers.

Avon and Somerset police licensing officer Louise Mowbray told the hearing: "We work with the carnival committee to ensure a safe event.
"If you get a pinch-point with people congregating, it could restrict emergency access.
"This application was not submitted through the carnival committee.
"The committee was quite happy for the applicant to serve alcohol but it's the sound system that was causing a few issues.
"This could contain people in the area rather than disperse them and getting a flow-through throughout the day.

"I did try to engage with the applicant and come to a compromise but that dialogue has not been able to come through with a conclusion. They wanted to retain the sound system.
"To have a system not sanctioned by the carnival could cause some issues.
"There is a formulated emergency plan for this event and this may compromise that plan, so the police request that this application is refused."
Council licensing officer Abigail Holman told members: "The process that has been followed for the last couple of years is the carnival committee applies for licences for certain areas to cover alcohol and entertainment, which finish around 10pm.
"For any temporary event notices that come through, people are advised to go via the carnival committee to ensure their events won't contribute to issues around emergency exit routes or overcrowding and ensure the safety of all patrons attending.
Malcolm X Centre refused St Pauls Carnival event after police objections
"That is in agreement with the police, so those who have not gone through that process are generally objected to by the police because they have emergency exit plans in place for those licences that already exist."
Sub-committee chairman Cllr Chris Windows said: "We are concerned about any possible danger of gatherings, pinch-points and interference of the emergency services, therefore the application rejected."
The panel was told the applicant, who was not named and did not attend the hearing at City Hall on May 30, still had time to agree conditions with the police and carnival committee and make a fresh temporary event notice bid.

Will Birkenhead back Frank Field as he fights for political survival? …
posted by titlis September 2, 2018 Politics
Friends Keith Brookes and Pete Clarkson perfectly encapsulate the mood in Birkenhead on Friday with their opposing opinions on Frank Field, the veteran Labour MP who resigned the whip last week, citing – predominantly – concerns about antisemitism in the party. Over the counter at the Merseyside Collectors Centre in Birkenhead market, watched by amused customers, artist and jewellery dealer Brookes says he is not surprised by Field's actions.
"He has always got his own way so this is sort of like throwing his toys out the pram because things haven't been going the way he likes recently," says the 50-year-old. "There were times in the past where I thought he was actually a Conservative – you just couldn't tell the difference with some of the stuff he was coming out with about immigration. This is about career politics, not about us locally."
However, Clarkson, a 59-year-old who has lived in Birkenhead since 1970, is kinder to Field and believes that his tenure as local MP has been a good one. "You've got to give it to him for looking after his people. Whatever you think about his views he is a very visible local MP and sticks up for what he believes.
"His core supporters will not abandon him … There are those that are disillusioned with politics but he has a great track record locally. We are glad to have him, and he will get my vote again if he runs as an independent."

On Friday, Field, a Labour member for 60 years and an MP since 1979, said he had been told he would be kicked out of the party in two weeks unless he withdraws his resignation from the party whip. He said he would fight any such move in the courts if necessary. The significance of his resignation has divided opinion among fellow MPs and political commentators, with some suggesting he jumped before he was pushed and others seeing it as a wake-up call for the party.
Former home secretary David Blunkett claimed on Saturday that Field's resignation meant the party faces irrelevance unless the situation is used as a "catalyst for seismic change".
In Birkenhead – described by one northern novelist as "glamorous, garrulous" Liverpool's "ugly sister" – the feeling about Field seems to be somewhere in the middle of the extremes of current political debate.
Many have sympathy with the MP over his decision to quit, even if they don't always agree with him politically. "A lot of people here don't care so much about politics – they are barely just surviving," says Janet Holmes, an art gallery owner and teacher. "The row about antisemitism is so far from their lives and their problems," she adds. "They just need someone who is going to fight for them. And whether you agree with his views on immigration or not, Frank Field is someone who has always fought for them."
Labour has been repeatedly blighted by charges that it has failed to tackle antisemitism in the party since Jeremy Corbyn became leader in 2015. Supporters of Corbyn, who has a long history of supporting Palestinians in their dispute with Israel, fear the issue is being used to undermine his leadership.
Labour suspends Khadim Hussain, a Labour councillor and former lord mayor of Bradford, after he shared a Facebook post that said "your school education system only tells you about Anne Frank and the 6 million Zionists that were killed by Hitler". He later quit the party.
Naz Shah, the Labour MP for Bradford West, apologises for writing a series of antisemitic posts on Facebook including arguing for Israel's population to be 'transported' out of the Middle East. She also resigns as PPS to John McDonnell and after sustained pressure is suspended from the party a day later.
A two-month inquiry by Shami Chakrabarti, ordered by Corbyn, urges Labour members to avoid abusive language and references to Hitler and Holocaust metaphors. It is criticised as being too soft on the issue and regarded as compromised because Chakrabarti had just accepted a peerage.
Jackie Walker is removed as vice-chair of Momentum after criticising Holocaust Memorial Day but is allowed to remain on its steering committee. She was earlier suspended by the party for questioning why Holocaust Memorial Day did not recognise other genocides.
Livingstone again avoids expulsion from the party after a disciplinary panel rules he should be suspended for another year over comments about antisemitism, Hitler and Zionism. Britain's chief rabbi, Ephraim Mirvis, accuses Labour of failing the Jewish community by not expelling Livingstone.
But the arena of local politics hasn't been kind to Field in the past few months. In July he became the latest Labour MP to lose a confidence motion for siding with the government in key Brexit votes. And as part of his resignation this week, he blamed a "culture of intolerance, nastiness and intimidation", in local parties.
For some local people his resignation has come as no surprise – a man who has a reputation for being indefatigable would not take a vote of no confidence from his local Labour party lying down. But for others it is a relief: Field's anti-immigration views and what they see as his kowtowing to the Conservatives on Brexit has lost him support.
The MP was one of four Labour members who voted last month with the government to prevent Britain joining a post-EU customs union, on the grounds that working-class voters "gave politicians a clear instruction to take the country out of the EU". This prompted the confidence vote by his local party.

Back at the jewellery counter in Birkenhead market, Clarkson lists the positive and sometimes controversial campaigns Field has undertaken in the area over the years. There is universal praise for his work on Feeding Birkenhead – a coalition of churches, food banks, community groups and other organisations coming together to eliminate hunger in Birkenhead – established by the MP in 2014.
But Clarkson talks of another, more controversial campaign: "One of the best things he has done for me – I live in North End, which is fairly rundown – is his campaign against the moronic yobs, those career unemployed who are protected by many, but not by Frank. He has called them out on it."
Holmes, a potter, has had many dealings on a local level with Field. The MP has supported a number of her projects including the Wilfred Owen Story museum where we meet. "Someone told me yesterday that he had left the Labour party, and I immediately thought that he had been asked to leave," she says.
The 61-year-old, like many others in this town on the Wirral peninsula, has mixed feelings about Field. She describes him as a "passionate man", one who is not "afraid to stick to his convictions", and someone who has always "listened to his people and responded to the problems of the area".
"Frank seems to be very passionate about the people in Birkenhead and he tries his best to listen to what local people say and responds to the problems of the area.
"The thing about feeding the children and highlighting the problems with universal credit have been very, very good."
Yet Holmes says that she would not vote for him.
"I don't agree with his thoughts on Brexit and immigration," she says. "But I say this because of who I am. I manage to earn a reasonable living and have a comfortable life – many of his constituents don't."

Gang members even managed to compromise ATMs and direct them to dispense money to associates who stood ready to receive the cash.
An international cyber cabal has made off with as much as $1bn from around 100 financial institutions across the globe over a two-year period, Reuters reported, citing Russia-based security firm Kaspersky Lab.
Kaspersky pledged co-operation with Interpol, Europol and police forces across Europe, to further investigate the theft.
The gang, which Kaspersky calls Carbanak used a spear-phishing campaign to target bank employees, setting the gang's raid apart from most cyber-theft operations, which tend to focus on customers. After employees had clicked on malicious links, monitoring malware was used to infect administrator machines so the gang could watch bank procedures on transferring funds so they could mimic the processes and avoid raising red flags.
Carbanak, which includes members from Russia, Ukraine and China, even increased bank balances before transferring cash, so account holders were unaware of any criminal activity. Gang members also managed to compromise ATMs and direct them to dispense money to associates who stood ready at the machines to receive the cash.

Samsung Innovation Summit in Tel Aviv: Focusing on Tech for Good
May 22, 2019 Samsung Catalyst Fund Team
Israel's largest art museum, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, was the setting on May 12 for a gathering of leading thinkers, investors, venture capitalists, and startups. They were there not to peruse the museum's impressive collection of impressionist and post-impressionist works, but rather to exchange ideas at the 5th annual Samsung Innovation Summit in Israel about the power of technology to make a difference in the world.
Hosted by Samsung's Israeli investment team, the Innovation Summit opened with welcoming remarks by Rutie Adar, head of Samsung Strategy & Innovation Center (SSIC) in Israel. She then introduced the event's first speaker: Shankar Chandran, Head of Samsung Catalyst Fund.
"In the last 60 years, we've had six major waves of technology—and today's seventh wave, about data and artificial intelligence, is the biggest one yet," says Chandran. He gave one of three keynotes at the Summit, delving into the impacts of the seventh wave of technology on global change and introducing the common theme running through the event: the importance of using 'tech for good'.
As an example, Chandran looked at the healthcare industry. While genomics, environmental factors, and the healthcare system all exert some influence over personal health, fully half of our health is determined by how we eat, sleep, move, and manage stress. Applying data and AI to improve these lifestyle factors can therefore have a huge impact on overall healthcare.
Following Chandran on stage was Lip-Bu Tan, Founding Managing Partner of WRVI Capital and Chief Executive Officer of Cadence. A luminary who is greatly admired in Israel and globally, he gave his outlook on how AI and machine learning will drive growth in core technologies such as semiconductors, memory architecture, data centers, and 5G.
"Infrastructure needs to catch up to process all the data that now exists, which is why we need to continue investing in 5G networking and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) systems," says Tan. "We can invest in our future by asking the right questions and answering them together."
Wrapping up the keynotes was Greg Kovacs, professor emeritus of electrical engineering at Stanford University, who presented insightful, engaging food for thought on the potential impact of data and AI on healthcare, bioengineering, and beyond.
"Trying to compute to find new drugs is like trying to pan for gold in the ocean," says Kovacs. "But with the help of new AI tools, we are moving much closer to innovative healthcare solutions that benefit everyone."
Closing the Innovation Summit in Tel Aviv with a special "Thank you" to all the startups and investors in attendance, was David (Dede) Goldschmidt, Head of Europe & Israel for Samsung Catalyst Fund.
Working Together to Achieve Innovation With a Purpose
"Samsung is committed to laying the groundwork for the next generation of life-changing and life-enhancing technologies, but the world's challenges are too big for any company to solve alone," says Chandran. "While data and AI are already transforming every industry on the planet, from manufacturing to transportation, reshaping our world for the better requires partnerships and a diversity of innovators, to create truly inclusive innovation."
Some real-world, local examples of innovation were also on display at the Samsung Innovation Summit. The event's 300+ invited participants spent time exploring demos from seven Israel-based Samsung portfolio companies, four funded by Samsung Catalyst Fund and three by Samsung Venture Investment, including:
• Autotalks, a developer of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications for manned and autonomous vehicles.
• Celeno, a fabless semiconductor company developing components and subsystems for high-performance carrier-class Wi-Fi systems and networks.
• Innoviz Technologies, a leading manufacturer of high-performance, solid-state LiDAR sensors and perception software enabling the mass production of autonomous vehicles.
• Iguazio, a platform-as-a-service provider that streamlines data science to production and derives fast time to value for application development based on machine learning.
• Mantis Vision, a 3D imaging company with revolutionary technology that puts powerful 3D scanners on mobile devices and handheld scanners.
• Valens, the world leader in HDBaseT technology and a top provider of semiconductor products for the distribution of ultra-high-definition multimedia content.
• Wiliot, a semiconductor company developing battery-free Bluetooth tags for the Internet of Things (IoT) market.
Attendees at the Samsung Innovation Summit in Tel Aviv raved about the museum venue, the content delivered in the presentations, the opportunity to see demos and network with other attendees, the food, and the overall quality of the event.
Samsung is an enterprise with global reach, but Israel holds a special place of importance. "We do this event every year because the Israeli startup ecosystem is extremely vibrant," says Chandran. "We really enjoy bringing together Israeli entrepreneurs and venture capitalists and talking about the issues that are vital to all of us."
We are confident that everyone left inspired to think about how each of them, in their own work, might strive to ride the seventh wave of innovation while furthering the tech-for-good ideals expressed at the Summit.
If you missed attending this year's Innovation Summit, or if you were there and would like to relive any of the experience, check out the videos from the Summit. And if you have a startup in Israel and would like to discuss how to fuel your tech-for-good business ideas, contact Dede Goldschmidt.


A court-ordered deadline for reunifying 2,551 migrant children separated from their parents is set for Thursday.
MCALLEN, Texas — NBC News has obtained exclusive audio recordings of two mothers in a Texas immigration detention center telling a judge they want to be reunited with their children.
"What I want, before anything, is to have my daughter with me," one woman said through tears. "I just want my daughter with me."
The woman told Judge Robert Powell at the Port Isabel Detention Center that her 17-year-old daughter is being held in Phoenix. The woman says she fears returning to Honduras because "there is no security."
The second woman tells the judge that her daughter is being held in New York.
"Do you want to take your daughter with you back to your country?" Powell asks. The woman says yes.
NBC News received permission from the women's attorney to share audio of the hearings on the condition that they not be identified by name. The two hearings were conducted before Judge Powell at the immigration court in the Port Isabel Detention Center on July 11.
An attorney told NBC News on Thursday that since the hearings, both mothers have been reunited with their children. One family was released and one family is in detention.
Immigration judges have the authority to grant asylum or order deportation, but are not positioned to rule on whether parents should be reunified with their children.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as well as Health and Human Services are responsible for reunifying 2,551 children separated from their parents, many of whom were separated under Trump's "zero tolerance policy," The agencies have a court-ordered deadline for reunification by the end of Thursday.
But according to affidavits filed by the ACLU in federal court on Wednesday, many parents do not understand the process or their legal rights. The ACLU laid out 27 cases where parents were misled into signing away their rights for reunification.
While proceedings like these are regularly held across the country, they're indicative of the emotional strife separated parents are facing as they struggle to reunite with their children while also securing a path toward asylum rather than deportation.
According to Syracuse University's TRAC Immigration Project, Powell denies nearly 80 percent of asylum requests.
In both cases, Powell denied the asylum requests and ordered the women to be deported, though have not been sent yet to their home countries.
There remains a temporary hold on deporting parents separated from their children and the ACLU is asking the federal judge overseeing the reunification efforts to enforce a 7-day mandate for holding reunified families in the country so that lawyers may reach them to provide counsel.
Gabe Gutierrez and Annie Rose Ramos reported from McAllen Texas. Julia Ainsley reported from Washington, D.C.

As we move away from the High Holy Days and return to life as usual, should we be satisfied to return to our status quo ante? Perhaps the experience of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur should not be limited to retrospection and stock-taking of the passing year. Instead, these days of introspection might equally be an opportunity for spiritual transformation. We might use them as a springboard for the year ahead, and come away from the holidays not as we were, but as a "new and improved model" of ourselves.
How can we achieve this? First and foremost, we might look to the Yom Kippur service itself for assistance. In addition, this week's Torah reading contains a message that we can apply in the days and weeks after the holiday season, a lesson that will enable us to descend from the heights of spirituality achieved during these unique days without sliding back to where we were before.
In his comments on this verse, Rashi cites a Talmudic1 teaching regarding the appropriate response to the recitation of a blessing. We are all familiar with the normal response to a blessing: "Amen." This short statement is both an affirmation of the content of the blessing itself and a testament to our shared belief in God. However, in the Beit HaMikdash, the response to a blessing was, "Blessed be His great Name (the Name of Kingship) forever and all time." This same response is recorded in the Yom Kippur liturgy in which we recount the Kohen Gadol's service in the Beit HaMikdash: When the Kohen Gadol uttered the ineffable Name of God, all those within earshot would fall on their knees, bow and prostrate themselves, and declare, "Blessed be His great Name (the Name of Kingship) forever and all time." Even today, this scene is reenacted in many congregations during the Yom Kippur recitation of the Avodat Kohen Gadol, despite the fact that the ineffable Name of God is no longer spoken.
Other elements of the Yom Kippur liturgy pose a similar challenge; most notable among these is the "Aleinu" with which we conclude prayers throughout the year. Coming, as it does, at the end of every service, Aleinu "don't get no respect;" more often than not, Aleinu is mumbled in a rush as worshippers hurry out the door of the synagogue. However, on the High Holy Days, Aleinu has a central role in the liturgy. On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, Aleinu is recited slowly, deliberately, with great concentration and intent, at the very heart of the service. On these Days of Awe, Aleinu takes on an entirely different character: Worshippers bow and kneel as the words of this sublime prayer – which are exactly the same all year round – help them reach new heights of spirituality. Here, then is that same challenge: Can we muster the fervent intensity of the prayers of the High Holy days throughout the year? Can we recall the High Holy Days experience of Aleinu as we repeat this prayer three times daily throughout the year? The awe of Rosh HaShanah and Yom Kippur, as our lives hang in the balance, makes all our prayers more fervent, more intense, but spiritual awareness is not something we should reserve for ten days each year. Our challenge is to draw upon the holiness of the High Holy Days all year long. Perhaps our thrice-daily repetition of Aleinu can remind us of that challenge and help us rise to meet it.
We have the capacity to infuse our lives with holiness. To do so, all we have to do is utilize the greatest gift God gave us: the human imagination. If we use it to picture holiness, we can uplift our everyday lives and achieve new levels of spirituality.

Voluntary Extension of Foster Care
WRJ Board of Directors Statement
The Israelites said, "Indeed, our children will be our guarantors." The Holy One said: "They are certainly the best guarantors. For their sake I give the Torah to you."
Song of Songs Rabba 24:1
Most children in North America are reared by parents. If children do not have parents or, if their parents are unable to care for them, this responsibility falls to the community and the foster care system. The age at which youth are expected to make a transition to independence from the foster care system into adulthood depends upon the state and sometimes even the county in which they live, but for many, it is eighteen years of age. Yearly, almost 30,000 young people in the United States age out of foster care when they turn eighteen and are cut off from support services, which frequently is a traumatic process.
A major study, known as the Midwest Study, is monitoring a sample of youngsters from three Midwestern states, Iowa, Wisconsin, and Illinois, as they move from foster care to adulthood.1 Researchers from the University of Chicago, the University of Washington in Seattle, the University of Wisconsin, and the child welfare agencies of the three states in which the young people reside hold in-depth interviews with the same participants every two years.
The Midwest Study began in 2002 when the participants were seventeen and eighteen years of age. Its most recent findings, based on interviews at ages twenty-three and twenty-four, were released in April 2010. Comparisons were made between the sample of youth in the Midwest Study and those in a study of nationally representative young people from the general population. The Midwest Study Executive Summary states that the comparisons reveal that youngsters aging out of foster care at eighteen are "faring poorly as a group, relative to their peers" in the general population, across a variety of areas, such as:
Lack of stable housing and/or homelessness;
Study participants were more than "three times as likely not to have a high school diploma or GED, half as likely to have completed any college, and one-fifth as likely to have a college degree";
Fifty-two percent of non-incarcerated former foster youth in the study were unemployed compared to 24% of that age group in the general population;
Two-thirds of the young women had been pregnant, of them, two-thirds had been pregnant more than once since leaving foster care;
"Seventy percent of the young women, . . . and 29% of the young men, were currently receiving benefits from need-based government programs," such as public housing, food stamps, and/or Medicaid; and
Young male participants in the study reported much more involvement with the criminal justice system than did those of the same age group in the general population.
The study also compared outcomes for young people from Illinois, which permits foster care until young people are twenty-one, to those from Iowa and Wisconsin, where foster care services are generally terminated when young people reach their eighteenth birthdays. "The data suggest that extending foster care until age twenty-one may be associated with better outcomes, at least in some domains," indicating the potential value of voluntary extension of foster care until age twenty-one.
In October 2008, Congress passed the Fostering Connections to Success and Increasing Adoptions Act (HR 6893). It provides for the receipt of matching federal funds to enable states to extend foster care services to young adults ages eighteen to twenty-one on a voluntary basis. This federally-matched funding for transition-aged youth becomes available in October 2010.
Previous to its passage, Illinois, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, and the District of Columbia had begun to provide a voluntary extension of foster care services. Some states, including Connecticut, California, Texas, Minnesota, Missouri, and Wisconsin, allow a young person to remain in foster care to finish high school or college. Recently the state legislatures of Washington, Texas, and Minnesota enacted legislation that takes advantage of the federal funding match to provide services for foster youth until their twenty-second birthday. There is similar legislation pending in Massachusetts, California, and Delaware for voluntary extension of foster care. In states that have pending legislation, budgetary considerations are the primary reasons for delays in enacting the proposed legislation.
In Canada, specific laws and regulations concerning foster care are under provincial and territorial jurisdiction. The Child and Family Services Act in Ontario requires youngsters to leave foster care at the age of eighteen. "They may continue to receive monetary support and some counseling and support services, but they are expected to establish themselves as independent young adults."4 Advocates have called for financial assistance, educational aid, and emotional support extended to at least twenty-five years of age, which is considered a "must do."
Based on its long history of resolutions on behalf of children's well-being in the United States and around the world, the WRJ Board of Directors supports state legislation that provides foster care services for youth over the age of eighteen to help them transition into stable and healthy adulthood.
Women of Reform Judaism calls on its sisterhoods to:
Become informed about the age at which termination of foster care services takes place in their states, provinces, and territories, its impact on the young people, and whether there are community efforts to provide an extension of services.
Congratulate the lawmakers and administrators in states that have already funded voluntary extension of foster care beyond age eighteen and/or offered transitional support services to former foster youth;
Support voluntary extension of foster care services to age twenty-one in states with pending legislation or which have not yet enacted legislation; and
Work with state and local child welfare agencies and coalitions to urge their legislators to implement laws that enable participation in federal foster care grant programs as soon as they become available in October 2010

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. — After nearly two months of searching, police have arrested a 33-year-old murder suspect, wanted in connection to to a deadly shooting that happened at the Mall at Prince George's in August.
Prince George's County Police announced Thursday that Stephon Edward Jones was taken into custody and charged with first and second degree murder, and other charges. Jones is accused of shooting 20-year-old Darrion Herring inside the Mall at Prince George's on Aug 18.
The City of Hyattsville Police and Prince George's County Police were called to the mall after the shooting and discovered Herring in the food court, suffering from a gunshot wound. He died from his injuries at the mall.

Officials believe Jones shot Herring during an argument. However, Herring's family claims Jones threatened Herring in a bathroom prior to the shooting.
"A guy made a threat to shoot him while in the bathroom because he thought he was looking at him," claimed Herring's relative.
The family member says Herring was in the food court meeting with a client with disabilities for his occupation.
Police had been searching for Jones since the shooting. Ultimately, he was taken into custody by DC Police. He remains in custody there pending extradition to Prince George's County.
The shooting remains under investigation and anyone with information on the case is asked to call detectives at 301-516-2512.

Wild ungulate populations (and populations of other wild game species) combined with domestic livestock production in Washington State would provide an unlimited supply of prey.

"What your graph doesn't show is that during the same time period Idaho went from 38 wolves to over 600 and an ecosystem that can only sustain about 300. where do you think..."
Don't know about Idaho, but the wolf population here in Washington State increased at a significantly faster rate than any of the wildlife management agencies had originally anticipated, and their original management strategies proved to be not up to the task (and are currently still being modified as both WDFW and USFWS muddle their way through what appears to be a long learning curve.)
Just between you and me and the wall, I believe that this recent incident was over-played by the media. This is not to diminish in any way the potential threat, but (as has been pointed out innumerable times on this website here and other threads) the statistical data shows that wolf/human interactions are limited to only a few instances.
Moreover, as the wolf population increases, and numbers of mating pairs meet the criteria for de-listing, the wolf will become a game animal, which should (logically) instill in the wolf population a greater fear of man.
Again, this event that occurred last week was played up in the media coverage. The lack of detailed information and speculative comments could lead a reasonable person to believe the animals were within spitting distance of the USFS researcher, which was hardly the case.
The number I was given on the phone earlier today was that they weren't closer than 50 meters (which begs the question of "What good would bear spray have done at that distance?")
I get it that dog owners like you (and treeswarper) have legitimate concerns about their animals, but I just don't see any real reason to be overly concerned at this point (because of this particular incident.)
I think the unattended livestock are more likely to be subject to a greater threat than a domestic dog accompanied by a human, with or without leash or firearm.

Some more information. Interesting statement by the researcher.
"The Forest Service worker who stumbled onto the Loup Loup Pack's rendezvous site actually twice climbed a tree, the second time after trying to use bear spray on a wolf that was just under 50 feet away from her and then "darted in several times."
Article on NW Sportsman
But from the woman's account the closest the wolf approached was about 50', beyond the reach of bear spray.
Before reaching this rendezvous location she saw two wolves (presumably in the direction of the den site). Had she turned and walked away that would have been that. At some point it should have been clear the wolves were defending something. The woman said she was scared but did not feel her life is at risk - although why she thought this is a good question.
Dogs are a different case, there are many examples of wolves going after dogs which are another canine. But those are dogs, not humans.
Andy Walgamott, reporting for NWSportsmanMag.com wrote:
"There was some confusion..."
The number given to me over the phone on the morning of 07/17 by Ann Froschauer, USFWS, was 50 meters, not 50 feet. (* see my response to nwhikers member harrymalamute just above *)
Any Walgamott, quoting WDFW officer Justin Trautman for NWSportsmanMag.com wrote:
"(The woman) stated that the wolf was approximately 15 meters away..."
So which was it, really?
(* 15 meters = 49.2126 feet *)
.... and while it's all fine and well that they've apparently taken note of the fact they need to do a bit better insofar as interagency communication so we don't have researchers or other public employees out in the field unwittingly walking into known wolf denning sites, it's worth noting that not all of the wolves out there are wearing collars with GPS units.
Inevitably humans are going to have interactions with wolves, and as the wolf populations increase, the odds of those encounters occurring increase proportionately.
I am puzzled that there would even be a question on the part of WDFW as to whether or not the (readily available) helicopter should have been sent in. As noted in the article, the "optics" would not be good.
WDFW only has to have one girl out there attacked by wolves for all the torches and pitchforks to come out.
Clearly this incident raises some questions about policy and competence.

What about the general public there are more of those out there stumbling into denning sites. They(USFW) post sites where grizzly bear conflicts might occur why not this if there is a possible threat.
Sky Hiker wrote:
Because rednecks will go and kill them
Then what's to stop them(rednecks) from killing grizzlies that are on ESA list in most states.
^ Nothing, really. Between USFWS, WDFW, USFS, and DNR they simply do not have the resources to patrol every square inch of ground.
Thus far the loss of life from "stumbling into a den" is exactly the same as the number of people who have died falling off the edge of the earth. i.e. I wouldn't worry about it.

But they still do attack people, right? Is this RandyHiker? You're so funny.

I know you've seen me wear these skinny "jeans" a lot but I seriously love them. They are what I turn to when I'm either running late or just can't come up with anything else. Or just want to be plain comfortable.
Now, bow tie blouses – love them but they do not, I repeat, they do not look good on me. I don't find them flattering on me at.all. Which is quite sad because I think they're super girly and cute. But clearly not on me (maybe, just maybe, that's why my face is missing in these photos).
Wishing everyone a fabulous Thursday!
You look super cute in that blouse! I think you wear it extremely well.
Lilly who are you kidding – you can pull off anything!
Whaaaat? I think you look so cute!!
Your silly, the blouse looks great on you! I love pussybow blouses! But I kinda feel the same when I wear mine…and I think its a hair thing, like my hair has gotta be just right with a top like that.
I think your outfit looks fabulous, great inspiration!
I beg to differ, Lilly! I think this top looks fabulous on you!
No way – that top is absolutely stunning on you! You look like you are straight out of a magazine … really, really elegant.
Girl you are just crazy for thinking that top doesn't flatter you! Just my opinion (but I don't think I'm alone judging by the other comments). Anyway, I can see why you love those pants too – they are super flattering as well & look very chic!
While I think the blouse looks good on you, I understand where you are coming from. Try a bow tie blouse that shows a little more skin and I think you'd like it better. Like this… http://www.thelimited.com/detail/bow-detail-blouse/4263432/665I can't pull off anything that comes that high on my neck unless it's fitted.
Of course pussybow blouses look GOOD on you! I honestly don't think they could look bad on anyone! I love the pattern of the blouse, so pretty with your jeans. And no worries, I wear my skinnies from Banana Republic constantly! I know I should switch it up too, but when you find jeans you love, stick with them.
Thank so much girls :)I do agree about the neckline/more skin showing. Anything that comes up to my neck/covers it just does not look good on me. I might give it another try before I part from it.
What was that comment about how you're not comfortable wearing skinny jeans?! Girl, keep on rocking these!Re blouse: maybe try wearing it with the ends untied for a casual look?
Aww… I think you look great in that top, Really!
what are you talking about?! I think you look super cute in this top!! I think pairing it with the skinny jeans gave it a fun look rather than the boring corporate look. plus the pattern is different so I think you look fantastic!
Ok, you looks amazing in that blouse! I was actually going to comment on that, it looks perfect on you! They truly do look horrible on me though, lol!!!
I love that shirt and think it looks great!I am also in love with skinnies. I just posted about it, too! Haha. :)Yasi @ Hello, Gorgeous!
I love the bow top with the skinnies…I think I know what I'm wearing tomorrow!
I'm in love with EVERY outfit you posted this week! Keep it up! xoxo Have a good weekend!
Love this chic top on you Lilly!!!
Love this blouse. Such a unique spin on polka dots.
I really like the graphics on that blouse, and it's definitely flattering. You look lovely in this outfit!

What can injectable fillers do for you? A lot, as it turns out. Injectables, including fillers and Botox, help to temporarily reduce the signs of aging on your face so you look younger. How they work and what areas they treat depends on the type of injection and on your specific needs.
Although Botox has a lot of uses, from calming muscle spasms to reducing excessive sweating, the use it's commonly associated with is anti-aging. One of the first areas Botox was approved to treat was the frown lines. Also called the "11's," the frown lines are the vertical wrinkles that people develop between their eyebrows. The lines usually form after a few decades of squinting or frowning.
Botox works by keeping certain nerves from signaling certain muscles. So, when the treatment is given near the forehead and eyebrows, you're prevented from making the subtle movement that causes the frown lines to get etched into the skin. As a result, your skin looks smooth and you look less angry, tired or old. In many cases, the results last about three months. If you're happy with the results, you can repeat the treatment to keep up your look.
As you get older, you lose fat. That might sound like a great thing, but the fat you lose tends to be the fat you want to keep – namely, the fat in your cheeks. A loss of cheek volume can mean that your face looks thin, drawn and gaunt. Fortunately, there's a way to instantly restore volume to the cheeks without having surgery. Juvederm Voluma is a type of injectable filler. It's made from a specially formulated type of hyaluronic acid that is thick enough to add lift and volume to the face. Although results can vary from person to person, often Voluma provides results that last for as long as two years.
The eye area is so delicate that it's often one of the first parts of the face to show signs of aging. Those signs can range from the development of dark circles to droopy lids. Another common sign of aging by the eyes is the formation of crow's feet. Typically appearing at the corner of the eyes, the lines develop after years of squinting, laughing and crying.
You can avoid crow's feet by not ever showing expression or emotion. But, an easier way to deal with them is with Botox. Since the lines are created by movement, Botox helps them fade away for a few months at a time. As when it's used in the eyebrow and forehead area, Botox can help minimize the appearance of crow's feet for about three months.
You don't just lose volume from your cheeks as you get older. Thin lips are also a common sign of aging. While the fillers of yesterday left a lot to be desired (think of those duck-lipped celebrities from the early 2000's), today's injectable fillers create a natural, soft look. Fillers made from hyaluronic acid, such as Restylane and Juvederm are commonly used in the lips. The results from the fillers are temporary and typically last for about six months. You can repeat the injections if you want to maintain the results, try a different filler, or decide that fuller lips aren't your thing.
One of the many benefits of hyaluronic acid fillers is that they can be reversed before the six months is up, if you really don't like the results. A special enzyme dissolves the substance.
Hyaluronic acid fillers also work well when used under the eyes to reduce hollowness and to correct dark under eye circles. When used to treat the under eye area, injectable fillers can cause bumps, so it's important not only to choose the right filler but also to see an injector with lots of experience treating the under eye area. Thinner fillers are ideal for the under eye area as they are less likely to create lumps or an uneven texture. Ideally, the filler will be injected into the tear trough, not above or below it.
Like Botox, injectable fillers can also be used to minimize the appearance of wrinkles and lines. But, fillers treat different types of wrinkles than Botox. While Botox works on the lines created by movements, fillers work best on those lines that form thanks to the effects of gravity and a loss of volume. Hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used to minimize the nasolabial folds, those two lines that form between the mouth and nose.
The deeper the wrinkles are, the heavier you want your injectable to be. Radiesse is commonly used to treat deeper creases and wrinkles. It's made from a calcium based gel, so it's heavier than hyaluronic acid. Like its hyaluronic acid cousins, Radiesse provides instant results. It then goes a step beyond, and actually stimulates the production of collagen beneath the skin. Once the initial effects of Radiesse wear away, the results as still visible, thanks to the revitalized collagen.
With so many fillers and injectables available, you might be unsure which to choose. That's where the staff at Mirror Mirror Beauty Boutique in Houston comes in. We can help you pick the injectable that will best treat your main concern, or recommend combining certain treatments to achieve a more youthful look all over.

Google creates its largest humanitarian fund yet to deal with Trump's immigration order.
Google has set up a $4 million "crisis fund" following President Trump's executive order on immigration. As reported by USA Today, the money will go toward four organizations: the American Civil Liberties Union, Immigrant Legal Resource Center, International Rescue Committee and UNHCR.
According to the report, Google will contribute $2 million to the fund, with employees coming up with the other $2 million. The publication also noted that Google executives are donating money in an individual capacity. Google is one of several Silicon Valley companies that condemned Trump's immigration order, which sees residents from seven predominantly-Muslim countries — Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen — banned from entering the U.S. The order also affects those that have valid green cards and visas, and bans all refugees from entering the country for 120 days.
Ride-sharing service Lyft has announced that it will pledge $1 million over the course of four years to the ACLU, calling Trump's executive order "antithetical:"
This weekend, Trump closed the country's borders to refugees, immigrants, and even documented residents from around the world based on their country of origin. Banning people of a particular faith or creed, race or identity, sexuality or ethnicity, from entering the U.S. is antithetical to both Lyft's and our nation's core values.
