I've always liked Natalie Portman. I thought Black Swan was brilliant, especially her performance. She once played one of my favorite historical figures. (Sidebar: this just rocked my world.) I started wearing Miss Dior again after her gorgeous ads for the fragrance came out. On that note, I loved how boldly she handled the John Galliano fiasco. And I can appreciate her approach to Judaism. Unlike some other Hollywood stars, Natalie doesn't try to reduce it to bagels and lox or a sprinkling of Yiddish, but openly discusses her love of Israel and her respect for how Judaism is done there (as compared to LA).
Yep, she married a non-Jew. A rather handsome professional ballet dancer with a French accent at that. In case you had any doubts as to Ms. Portman's commitment to her religion, the ceremony was Jewish, she named their son Aleph, and it was recently revealed that while she is filming her directorial debut in Israel, her husband is studying to convert to Judaism. This, mind you, is just before they move to Paris for his new position with the Ballet, when it is not an easy time to be Jewish in France.
I obviously can't speak to why Natalie fell for her husband or what made her move forward with a relationship with him. I also don't know whether she actually wears Miss Dior; I just know I love it on myself. This post isn't really about her, nor do I make huge life decisions based on what celebrities are doing. But I have always aimed to be completely honest on this blog, and I think it's time to admit that only dating Jewish has made me absolutely miserable.
I thought I was doing everything the right way. I didn't so much as browse JDate during my conversion process. I didn't think twice about spending the first two years of my thirties abstaining from dating and devoting myself to studying Judaism. And then, after I dried off from the mikvah and slapped some Essie on my naked nails, I realized I wasn't getting any younger and I contacted a shadchan.
I was so sold on the shidduch system, you have no idea. Finally, I thought, a man was going to appreciate me for who I am, instead of what I look like. I'd imagined having intimate conversations over tea with my matchmaker. She would get to know me as a friend and provide advice like a favorite aunt. I was not expecting to be barked at with a Long Island accent that would put Fran Drescher to shame. Who was I? How did I find her? Who was my Rabbi? How long had I been frum? I was blissfully unaware at the time, but I know all too well now: If you're a convert or BT, you are never, ever done proving yourself. The day school your great-grandchildren go to will reflect your sincerity (or for some, lack thereof) as a Jew.
I had no idea what a shidduch resume was, and she certainly had no time to tell me. I was instructed to call her when I was in New York so she would know I was serious. (Fun Fact: NYC is the center of the universe. You shouldn't even be Jewish if you don't live there.) I think I continued to hold my phone to my ear for a full minute while trying to process what had just happened.
But it got better. And by better, I mean better for a writer, because someday I'll look back on all this and laugh. Make no mistake, it got worse. I will provide here a handful of highlights. Picture them as a movie montage to that Fiddler on the Roof song, if you will. One shadchan dumped me because I was not interested in her first and only suggested match. If there is a nicer way to reject a gentleman than, "He seems lovely, but I'm just not feeling it, I'm sorry," I'm open to feedback. I gave up on shadchans and joined JWed. I was contacted by a bevy of Howies, Bennys, and Mendys, all of whom asked me if I would wear a sheitel before asking how my day was going. My profile, for the record, stated that I would, but I suppose they were determined to ascertain my actual commitment level. (See above.) I've had automated email responses that were warmer than JWed messages. I've had job interviews that were more personal than JWed dates. I moved on.
I began meeting Jewish men naturally, both through Jewish events and my increased Jewdar. I went through a phase of dating non-Orthodox Jewish men, thinking that I could inspire them into observance. They must have also presumed they could change my views, because this only resulted in me constantly being on the defense. I met a guy who wanted to identify himself as Orthodox but didn't keep kosher or Shabbat, yet told me he wouldn't have respected me if I didn't. (Again, see above.) Then he proceeded to look me up and down and explain why shomer negiah didn't matter. He never got a date. I had a brief relationship with an Israeli who spent more time at the gym than with me. I realized that we had nothing in common besides being Jewish.
And that brings me to the end of my kvetch-fest and to my ultimate point. In searching for love, it was easy to forget to love myself. I got caught up in trying to prove my sincerity. I bought into the mentality that only a man's Jewishness mattered, regardless of anything and possibly everything else I'd be compromising on. I subjected myself to treatment that I did not and do not deserve.
I have accepted that I'll probably never be considered "good enough" for a true blue FFB. But you know something, Benny? I kind of think that a grown man in his thirties should go by "Ben" or "Benjamin." I wish we could have had a real conversation instead of a one-sided interrogation. So the feeling is mutual, best of luck.
The same men who accuse me of being brainwashed by Orthodoxy have got it locked in their brains that the ban on pork was for sanitary reasons and refuse to consider any other explanations. I need to be with someone whose curiosity and passion for Judaism is never sated.
And of course, Jewish or not, I refuse to settle for someone who doesn't respect women or treat me well. Overall, I've reached the point similar to the one in my conversion journey, when I decided to stop just doing what was expected of me and hold out for what I wanted. Hey, it worked then. I found a Rabbi who was kind and patient. He and the Rabbis on my Beit Din made sure I knew what I was getting into, but they also trusted me to be a good Jew. Those were my standards when it came to converting. I'm so high-maintenance, I know.
I don't operate in extremes. I'm not saying I'll never date another Jewish man or that I'm off to join GoyimDate.com. I have always believed that converts come to Judaism in different ways. It so happens that I was introduced through a class, not a man, but I know a few very sincere converts who came to Judaism through a Jew. I'm aware of at least one cited in the Talmud as well.
It occurs to me that the commitment to Judaism and other important qualities I am seeking in a Jewish man, I may very well find in a non-Jewish one. Funnily enough, where Reform and Conservative Jews seek to correct me on my supposed overzealous practices, non-Jews couldn't be more supportive and enthusiastic. And who else could better understand my pop culture and Jewish references than a fellow convert who also balances both? Most importantly--and I really can't stress this enough--I love the idea of a man truly falling for the person I am and not seeing me as a checklist. I've had it once before. I believe with all my heart that I'll have it again.
From this point forward, I am open to all possibilities.
As an FFB, your dating experience pretty much mirrors mine.
One of the biggest scams in the frum world is the "shadchan." Because of the aforementioned "Fiddler on the Roof," we like to focus on the existence of Yenta the Matchmaker, and not her horrendous success rate. I have never read the original Isaac Bashevis Singer tale, but probably if there was a Yenta, she was a local widow who was sought out as a middle-person to diplomatically arrange marriages and receive a fee for that service, not one who was able to competently match two souls.
As I detail on my blog, no meeting with a so-called "shadchan" ever went well. In my experience, the shidduch system is only successful in terms of one friends and acquaintances who know you and truly think they know of someone else for you. That's how it worked for my siblings, my parents, and dare I say it my grandparents in Europe.
It also makes things complicated in that the original "rules" of the shidduch system has been arbitrarily changed (i.e., the male is supposed to be redt the female first, not the other way around).
In my eagerness to be "open", I have definitely compromised with men who were not on my religious or nice level; thankfully, they said no. I always say that God is watching out for me, since I become incredibly stupid when on dates.
My basis of who I am is my beliefs, and if a man does not share that then I have nothing to share with him. Do not date with the perspective of changing a man, even his beliefs; in general, changing men is an impossibility.
Those who go through life believing that Hashem is in their lives will be worthy of having Hashem in their lives. I keep in reminding myself of this when I want to strangle yet another date who was supposedly "wonderful!"
For all Jewesses, no matter if they be FFB, BT, or newly minted, we have the Great Matchmaker in the Sky on our side. Know yourself, know your faith, and we shall overcome the Bennys.
I appreciate your wisdom and positivity, and you make some great points. I know that dating isn't really fun for anyone a lot of the time, even for non-Jews. I'm grateful to be part of a world that teaches their sons to value women and marriage. I completely agree with you that the current shidduch system is a joke. Most of my frustration stems from how converts are treated, and how it really comes to the surface with dating. These men have absorbed the idea that converts can't really be trusted, we could go OTD at any time without warning, we need to be watched intently to prove ourselves sincere, and they express as much instead of just getting to know me. For a person who fought hard and long to join the Jewish people, it's really psychologically harmful to feel like I'm still not good enough, I still don't quite belong. It's also, quite frankly, culture shock, because in the non-Jewish world I was and still am considered a catch. I like to think I am in both worlds. My devotion to Judaism is real.
I will say you are spot on about changing men. I am done trying to "inspire" liberal Jews through dating. Honestly, I think there is more brainwashing in Reform and Conservative circles, because most of them never become acquainted with Talmudic debate and different rulings. They learn one thing from their Rabbi when they're an adolescent, and they hold onto it for the rest of their lives. I cannot be with a man who has secular American values and who treats being Jewish like it's a cutesy cultural aspect of himself.
I completely agree that trusting in Hashem is a huge part of the process. Turning to Hashem is actually what helped me find my third and final Rabbi and convert. I know He will guide me through this, too. But I'm also confident that He would not ask me (or you, or anyone) to participate in a system that does not treat people with kindness and consideration.
If I was going to compromise my beliefs for love, I would have given Judaism up entirely and married the love of my life (thus far) a few years ago. Nothing and no one can tear me away from this. If I end up with a FFB who holds a positive view of converts and has diverse interests, of course I'll be ok with that. But if I end up with a man who falls in love with me before he falls in love with Judaism, who will respect me even more because I introduced him to his religion, I'll be ok with that, too.
Man, you just make me tear up.
People say incredibly stupid things. I have been reading Brene Brown's books (I highly recommend them; check out her videos on TED), and I have discovered that shame is what makes others judgmental and exclusionary. In the frum community, it is concealed beneath a mantle of so-called religiosity, but we are an emotionally crippled nation, forgetting the spirit of the law as opposed to the application.
It is an effort for me that when someone says something hurtful, for me to turn around the perspective: It's not about me. It's about them, their shame and fear.
I am so sorry that the frum community has so far to go, and that we have hurt you and other newcomers. We should know better, and we don't. We have been charged to enlighten, and we are falling short of the mark.
I love your thoughts and your posts. Don't stop blogging.
Thank you so much for your support and encouragement, and for sharing that beautiful piece by Rabbi Wein. It was inspiring in its own right, and I will be rereading it often, but it also made me realize that I get so irked by the questions from shadchans and the Bennys because they're not seeking to assess my actual character traits, but rather the signs of conformity. Do they want me to wear a sheitel because everyone wears a sheitel and so that people will eat at our house, or because I believe in the mitzvah and want our home to have holiness?
I have seen Brene Brown on Oprah's Lifeclass and thought she was great. I'll check out her TED talks.
So-called "professional" shadchans are a dime a dozen nowadays, and chances are they don't even have success rates. It is probably because of the reasons you cite. Anyone can be a shadchan (my mother is quite proud for her one shidduch) and I have tried it too, although it didn't end well. So focus more on the people you meet, since, as my mother says, the average person probably knows about 200 people, and so on; that is what the true essence of the shidduch system is.
Now first off Kate, you are the best, you do fit in and you are an incredible catch, as is Leah. She is so funny. I only had a very short and hideous introduction to Jewish dating, so I can slightly relate. The whole JDate is an absolute joke, and my experience was disgusting.
I know you will not compromise, as your standards are spot on. I wish you nothing but the best, and so much hatzlacha in finding your beshert.
As you know, my husband is not Jewish. Every Rabbi has told me I should divorce, and we were seconds away from this. As I began my Orthodox journey, and to date, he has been nothing but supportive and participates. He respects my dishes (haha) and does his best. While he has shown some interest in further studies, who knows what may happen? Maybe he will convert, and maybe not. Regardless of what I've been told, the divorce because you find out your Jewish but your husband isn't and you're going to be orthodox thing isn't going to happen for me.
I will continue to daven for you, for Leah, and for all the wonderful women who are trying to find a man worthy of them.
You are too precious to settle.
You're too sweet, Kate. I feel awful for the single gals in our communities. The horror stories are endless. The 2 best were the man who wouldn't date the woman because she wore pajamas instead of a gown; and the gal who wore patent leather pumps-- her date nixed her for one may be able to see up her skirt sue to the shine of said shoes. Of course on Lea's blog, the stories continue for her, and it seems for you as well, Kate.
Thanks for your kind words. I do understand the halacha behind it all, but (there's always a but), the heartache we both went through was too much to bare.
How interesting about your potential family history. Now wouldn't that be something?
Oh wow. Those stories are so sad, they're funny. That's the very checklist approach I take issue with. It's hard for me to imagine that anyone can find their beshert based on such detailed demands. I believe in each person defining what is essential and non-negotiable, and then being willing to compromise and/or discuss other things. I love Chanel Egoiste and hate leather furniture, but these things wouldn't make or break a decision for me.

In a country where inequality is widening, we are working to make sure more people like Robby can rely on clean water and decent toilets.
Things are changing in Zambia. After over 50 years of independence, today it has one of the world's fastest growing, if still relatively small, economies.
People's life expectancy, education level and income are improving. And with more than half of the country under 25 years old, there's a lot of energy and optimism for the future.
However, this progress has not been shared equally among Zambians. A huge proportion of people – six in ten – still live below the poverty line, and the gap between rich and poor is widening.
One in ten people are affected by HIV/AIDS and even more are disabled. They are particularly at risk from the lack of clean water and decent, accessible toilets across the country.
And while these essential services should be a normal part of everyday life, people also need to be aware of their rights and have the knowledge and confidence to call for them where they are missing.
6.3 million people don't have clean water.
That's one in every three people.
Over 11 million people don't have a decent toilet.
More than half the entire population of Zambia.
Almost 2,000 children under 5 die a year.
Caused by dirty water and poor toilets.
For this reason, a large part of our work in Zambia is on citizen action, improving the connections between people and their local governments.
We help the Government respond to these voices with low-cost solutions that will also last into the future. We can then reproduce these small-scale systems elsewhere, scaling them up where possible.
By working together in this way, we can reach everyone in Zambia with the clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene they deserve.

Mumbi, Grade 8, Simango School
No child should ever have to drink water from the same place as wild animals. But until recently, this is what 800 pupils at Simango School in Zambia had to do.
For more than 40 years, pupils at the school got water from scoop holes on the dry and sandy riverbed of a nearby stream – a popular watering hole for local animals.
Thanks to the amazing UK schools who raised funds for our Pupil Pipeline project, together we have built a network of piped water points and a toilet block for the whole of Simango School.
Abigail, in Grade 9, explains the effect the new water system will have: "We will no longer suffer stomach pains. I am very happy."
Floridah, 14, says: "Now we have water, we will keep our classrooms and surroundings clean."
"Thank you for this water," says Xavier Mwiinga, the Headteacher. "We will always remember your gesture of good will."

eEnabled internet distribution for small and medium sized hotels: the case of hospitality SMEs in Athens.
Buhalis, D. and Kaldis, K., 2008. eEnabled internet distribution for small and medium sized hotels: the case of hospitality SMEs in Athens. Tourism Recreation Research, 33 (1).
Advances in information and communications technologies (ICTs) have strategic implications for a wide range of industries. Tourism and hospitality have dramatically changed by the ICTs and the Internet and gradually emerge as the leading industry on online expenditure. The Internet revolutionised traditional distribution models, enabled new entries propelled both disintermediation and reintermediation and altered the sources of competitive advantage. This paper explores the strategic implications of ICTs and the perceived advantages and disadvantages of Internet distribution for small and medium-sized hospitality enterprises (SMEs). Primary research in Athens hotels demonstrates the effects of the Internet and ICTs for secondary markets, where there is lower penetration and ICT adoption. Interviews and questionnaires identified a number of strategies in order to optimise distribution. The analysis illustrates the strategic role of ICTs and the Internet for hospitality organisations and Small and Medium-sized organisations in general. Most hotels employ a distribution mix that determines the level and employment of the Internet. The paper demonstrates that only organisations that use ICTs strategically will be able to develop their electronic distribution and achieve competitive advantages in the future.

It's the moment every marketer dreads: You are presenting marketing metrics to the sales team, and they spot a flaw in the data. With one thread pulled, everything starts to unravel. You quickly start making excuses about the inaccuracy of the data in salesforce.com, while rushing through the rest of the slides.
Which metrics do you focus on? Have you ever been caught out by missing or inaccurate data?

Until a few years ago, the state of digital rights management (DRM) in comics wasn't pretty. Comixology, the dominant digital comics seller, used to offer fairly restrictive digital rights management on all of its books, with no option for publishers that wanted to opt-out. While this suited the "Big Two" (DC and Marvel) just fine, obviously others didn't feel that way, as some smaller publishers sold the same books elsewhere DRM-free.
Things started to change when Image started to sell DRM-free books. Comixology eventually followed suit, and started offering DRM-free backup copies, in a choice of downloadable PDF and CBZ files.
Today, most of the non-Big Two major comic publishers offer DRM-free comics, either through Comixology's backup feature or through various non-Comixology digital stores. But which major publishers still aren't DRM-free? I looked at which top 20 comics publishers didn't offer DRM-free books, based on Diamond's top 20 publishers list as of 2014.
Random House, specifically their manga subsidiary Kodansha Comics.
Hachette publishes a few graphic novels and trade paperbacks, as does St. Martins Press.
Boom!, Dark Horse, Viz, Avatar, Zenescope, and Titan (who publish "Dr. Who" comics) are the main single-issue comic publishers left that're digital rights management holdouts.
Again, I assume DC and Marvel will be the last two to go DRM-free, if they ever do, given their parent companies are Time Warner and Disney respectively. Large media conglomerates were the ones to push through consumer-hostile laws like the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) in the first place. Of course, they capitulated eventually on music digital rights management, so there's always a chance this will change, too.

Will Overwatch 2 Be Xbox Exclusive
Since its release in May of 2016, Overwatch has become one of the most popular first person shooters on the market. The game has attracted a large and loyal following, with over 35 million players to date.
Given the game's success, it's no surprise that there are rumors of a sequel in the works. And while nothing has been confirmed yet, there is speculation that the sequel may be an Xbox exclusive.
This rumor first surfaced a few months ago, when a listing for Overwatch 2 appeared on the Xbox website. The listing was quickly removed, but it sparked a lot of speculation among fans.
Microsoft has not commented on the rumors, and Blizzard has remained tight-lipped as well. But given the close relationship between Blizzard and Microsoft, it's not hard to see why people are speculating that the sequel will be an Xbox exclusive.
There is no doubt that a sequel to Overwatch would be a huge hit. The game has proven to be incredibly popular, and there is a lot of excitement among fans for a potential sequel.
If the rumors are true and the sequel is an Xbox exclusive, it will be a major win for Microsoft. The Xbox One has been struggling in the market lately, and a game as big as Overwatch 2 would be a much-needed win for the console.
At this point, it's all speculation. Blizzard has not confirmed anything yet, and it's unclear whether the game will be an Xbox exclusive or not.
But if you're a fan of Overwatch, it's worth keeping an eye on the news. Blizzard and Microsoft are sure to say something about the game in the near future.
1 Will Overwatch 2 be on PS4?
2 Will Overwatch 2 be on console?
3 Will Microsoft make Overwatch 2?
4 Is Overwatch 2 out on PS5?
5 Is overwatch 1 shutting down?
6 Is Overwatch 2 free now?
7 Is Overwatch 2 free on PS4?
Will Overwatch 2 be on PS4?
Overwatch is one of the most popular games on the PlayStation 4, so it's no surprise that gamers are wondering if Overwatch 2 will be on PS4. The first game in the series was released in 2016 and was a smash hit, with over 30 million players. The game is a first-person shooter with team-based gameplay, and it has been praised for its graphics, gameplay, and characters.
There is no official word yet on whether or not Overwatch 2 will be released on the PlayStation 4, but there is certainly a good chance that it will be. The first game was released on multiple platforms, including PC, Xbox One, and PS4, and there is no reason to think that the sequel will be released on any other platforms.

In fact, there is already a lot of speculation about what the sequel will entail. One of the most popular theories is that the game will be set in the future, and that it will focus on the conflict between humans and robots. It's also possible that the game will feature a new character or characters, and that it will introduce new gameplay mechanics.
Whatever the case may be, it's clear that fans of the first game are excited for the sequel, and that many of them are hoping that it will be released on the PlayStation 4. There is no official word yet on when Overwatch 2 will be released, but it's likely that we will hear more about it in the near future.
Will Overwatch 2 be on console?
There has been a lot of speculation about whether or not Overwatch 2 will be released on console. Some people believe that it will be released on both console and PC, while others think that it will only be released on PC.
There are a few reasons why some people think that Overwatch 2 will be released on console. One reason is that the first Overwatch game was released on console as well as PC. Another reason is that Blizzard has said that they are working on a new game, and many people believe that this new game is Overwatch 2.
However, there are also a few reasons why some people think that Overwatch 2 will not be released on console. One reason is that the first game was not released on console in China, and it is possible that Blizzard may not want to release the sequel on console in China in order to avoid competition from other games that are only available on console. Another reason is that Blizzard may want to focus on the PC market, as the PC market is much bigger than the console market.
At this point, it is unclear whether or not Overwatch 2 will be released on console. However, it is possible that we may receive more information about the game in the near future.
Will Microsoft make Overwatch 2?
Since it's release in May of 2016, Overwatch has become one of the most popular first person shooters on the market. The game has a bright and colorful art style, tight gameplay, and a large cast of interesting and likable characters. It's no wonder that the game has become a hit with gamers all over the world.
So the question on many people's minds is, will there be a sequel to Overwatch? And if so, will Microsoft be involved?
There have been no official announcements about a sequel to Overwatch, and it's unclear if Microsoft would be involved if one is made. However, given the success of the first game, it's likely that a sequel will be made at some point.
Read also Where Is Use A Code On Xbox One
If Microsoft were to be involved in making a sequel to Overwatch, it would likely mean that the game would be exclusive to the Xbox One. This would be a major win for Microsoft, as the Xbox One has been lagging behind the PlayStation 4 in terms of sales.
It's unclear what the future holds for Overwatch 2, but one thing is for sure, the game is sure to be a hit if it's made.
Is Overwatch 2 out on PS5?
This is a question that many gamers are asking, and the answer is that no one knows for sure. Blizzard has not announced a release date for Overwatch 2, and there is no official word on whether or not it will be released on the PS5.
That said, there is a good chance that Overwatch 2 will be released on the PS5. The original Overwatch was released on the PS4, and there is no reason to believe that Blizzard would not release the sequel on Sony's latest console.
There is also speculation that the PS5 will be backwards compatible with PS4 games, which would mean that gamers would be able to play Overwatch 2 on their PS5 consoles. This has not been confirmed by Sony, but it is a possibility that should be considered.
Overall, there is no definitive answer to the question of whether or not Overwatch 2 will be released on the PS5. However, there is a good chance that it will be, and gamers should keep an eye on announcements from Blizzard in order to find out more.
Is overwatch 1 shutting down?
This is a question that many overwatch players are asking, especially after the game's developer, blizzard, announced that they were ceasing work on the game's competitive mode. While the game is still playable, it seems that blizzard is no longer interested in supporting it, which has led to speculation that the game may be shut down in the near future.
While blizzard has not made any official announcements regarding the game's future, they have not denied the possibility that overwatch 1 may be shut down. In a statement released to Kotaku, a blizzard representative said "We don't have any announcements to make about the future of Overwatch at this time." This lack of a concrete answer has only served to fuel speculation that the game may be discontinued.
So why would blizzard discontinue overwatch 1 when it is still a popular game? There are a few possible reasons. One possibility is that blizzard may be planning to release a new version of overwatch, which would replace the current game. Another possibility is that blizzard may be moving their resources to other projects, such as the upcoming game overwatch 2.

Whatever the reason may be, it is clear that blizzard is no longer interested in supporting overwatch 1. This has led to speculation that the game may be shut down in the near future. While blizzard has not made any official announcements, they have not denied the possibility, which has only served to fuel speculation. So if you are a fan of overwatch 1, you may want to start looking for a new game to play.
Is Overwatch 2 free now?
Recently, there have been some reports that Overwatch 2 may be free now. However, is this really the case?
At this time, it is not clear if Overwatch 2 is actually free now. There have been some reports that indicate this may be the case, but Blizzard has not yet made an announcement about it.
If Overwatch 2 is free now, it would be a great opportunity to check out this new game. Blizzard has made some big changes to the game, including adding new heroes, maps, and game modes.
So far, the reaction to Overwatch 2 has been mixed. Some people love the new changes, while others think that the game is not as good as the original.
Regardless of your opinion on Overwatch 2, it is definitely worth checking out for yourself. If you are not sure if you want to buy it, you can always try playing it for free first.
At this time, we just have to wait and see what Blizzard decides to do. We will keep you updated as new information becomes available.
Is Overwatch 2 free on PS4?
Overwatch is a popular team-based shooter game that is available on various platforms, including PS4. The first game in the series, Overwatch, was released in 2016. A sequel, Overwatch 2, is currently in development and is scheduled to be released in 2020.
At this time, it is not known if Overwatch 2 will be free to play on PS4. However, it is likely that the game will be free to play for a limited time, as was the case with the first game. It is also possible that the game will be available for purchase or included as part of a subscription service.
If you are interested in playing Overwatch 2, it is best to keep an eye on the official Blizzard website for updates.

Internet service providers (ISPs) have made available wireless internet (Wi-Fi) in numerous public spaces, often for free, connecting citizens of Harare to the internet and thus the world.
For arts venues, namely Book Café and the National Gallery of Zimbabwe (NGZ), the Wi-Fi connection is provided free of charge by ZOL through the ZOLspot service. This has proved to be of major benefit, especially to the many artists who throng to these hubs to connect to the world.
Poet Robison Shoes Lambanda said, "Free internet means I am now able to communicate with different people who enhance and develop my art. It gives me an opportunity to stay informed on current affairs and trends in the industry while granting me a platform to search for performance opportunities, and I get to do all this in my familiar environment." Lambanda usually surfs the internet at Book Café.
Another artist and regular Wi-Fi user, Tavonga Mufundikwa, said he used to go to an internet café to use the internet. "The more time I spent on the internet, the more money I had to pay, so in the end I would just quickly browse through stuff and sometimes miss important opportunities that would have helped in my career development," he said.
At NGZ, all you need to do is spend a little money on a drink or snack in the café so that you can sit and enjoy your free Wi-Fi. Café operator Arnold Rossle said, "Without ZOlspot, most people wouldn't be coming to my café." He added that the hotspot has drawn in an influx of new customers, some from other countries, while serving the existing customers with a value addition to their money.
Though serving a great purpose, the free hotspot has drawn some riff raff to the gallery café. "There are some people who just want to come and sit, using the internet without buying anything. It is mostly these people who make unnecessary noise, driving out my paying customers." The ZOLspot at NGZ is also accessible in other parts of the gallery, thus patrons can also get to use it while enjoying the art.
Internet service provider (ISP) Africom boasts 23 hotspots spread across the city where users can surf the internet for a nominal fee. The spots include: Alexandra Sports Club; Avondale shops; Belgravia Sports club; Charingira West; Chapman Golf Club; Chinamano Heights; Kamuchinda Flats; Longchen Plaza; Megawatt House; Montagu Flats; The Place SSC; Spencer Cook; Highglen Shops; Hilton; Roma; Cappillano Court; Dova Court; Caister Flat; Stanley House; Club Chambers; Africa Unity Square; and Newlands Shops.
There is no more ZOL free WiFi, now they are charging high prices for their internet!


Deep Nuclei | Random thoughts, if not recorded, will remain as nothing but scattered pearls.
Naturally, the airlines choose to measure the greenhouse gases they produce in the way that casts them in the best light—a trick they deploy on safety statistics, too. For instance, over half of aircraft accidents occur around take-off and landing. So accidents per passenger-mile compare very favourably with other means of transport. But at least one study has shown that, if accidents are measured per journey instead, aircraft are the second-most dangerous way of travelling, after motorcycles.
Likewise on greenhouse gases. IATA says an aircraft's fuel consumption is about the same as that of a family car, at 3.5 litres per 100 passenger-kilometres. So CO2 emissions are similar. But that is true only if the aircraft is full and the car's passenger seats are empty. And even then, a jumbo jet flying from London to Sydney would be like nearly 400 Volkswagen Polos each travelling just over 16,000km—the average distance a European drives in a year. In other words, although cars and aircraft discharge roughly the same amount of CO2 for each passenger-kilometre, the aircraft travel an awful lot farther.
In the new village of Hamstreet, in Kent, Richard Dumill goes to the bathroom and prepares for a new day. It is 2020 and as he flushes the toilet his sample is automatically analysed and sent to the local doctor. The cholesterol level is slightly high because of the heavy dinner of farmed cod and chips but the computer in the surgery discounts the readings as not exceptional.There is a slight hum as the family water purifier switches on, and as he walks down the hallway he taps the electricity meter and sees it shows that the family is in credit: his own windmill generator and solar panels are putting more energy into the grid than the household is using, adding to the family income.
Downstairs his wife, Sarah, is complaining. The so-called "smart fridge" has malfunctioned and the order for milk and bread which should have reached the local delivery service has not been sent. The grocer, who employs a refugee from Tuvalu, a Pacific island country that disappeared three years previously as sea levels rose, will have to be telephoned instead. Food deliveries go in a special lockable box rather than on the doorstep since theft of these increasingly expensive essentials is a growing problem.
Both parents now work to pay off the 55-year mortgage on their house. Sarah works as a counsellor for people who have a genetic predisposition to a variety of diseases like cancer and heart trouble that means they cannot qualify for insurance or mortgages. Richard normally works from home but is going in a shared hydrogen powered car to the office at the waste and recycling brokerage where he works. He rarely sees any of the recycled tin or plastic in which he deals but quotes prices for the futures market in which companies buy waste products to use in future manufacturing.
When working at home, a telephone gadget in his ear, which operates on electricity generated by his brain, allows his manager to speak to him at any time during working hours. This, among many new electronic devices which are supposed to make him more efficient, Richard regards with scepticism.
Today as he drives to work he carefully picks his route to avoid congestion charges on the motorway or in any of the towns on the way. His company long ago moved out of its central London headquarters to cut costs.
The former industrial estates, which gradually emptied and became derelict as manufacturing declined to 9% of gross domestic product, have been taken down and replaced with water-and energy-efficient housing estates. The whole area is planted with trees to form what has been christened the Dartford Forest.
The couple have a daughter Britney, adopted like many other children: sperm counts for the average male in Britain have dropped to 30% of 1940s level, because the chemicals widely used in food and farming have so damaged fertility. It is no satisfaction that many big food manufacturers have gone bankrupt in the last few years because of class actions brought by people no longer able to have children.
The clampdown on preservatives in food and high oil prices mean that sending fresh food long distances is prohibitively expensive. The family keep chickens to have a supply of fresh eggs and grow vegetables because so much imported food is now an expensive luxury. The warmer climate means melons can be grown outdoors, although it also has led to a malaria scare in nearby Tunbridge Wells.
Worldwide there are serious problems for less technology based societies. Large parts of central Africa are becoming uninhabitable because of climate change. The sea is encroaching on many low lying coastal areas causing a huge refugee crisis.
Should storms of the magnitude of 2005's Katrina, Rita, and Wilma strike again, the expanding hurricane impact on financial markets will have a ripple effect on global markets and consumers far removed from the vicinity of the storm.
One of the first markets that typically is affected at the first hint a tropical storm is brewing is natural gas, as traders anticipate that a severe hurricane might disrupt Gulf production and shipping. In the aftermath of disastrous hurricanes will come demand for building materials, which will drive up demand and prices for commodities such as lumber, copper and other materials needed to rebuild.
But all those are the obvious plays, the moves the professionals are likely to foresee and capture before most investors realize what is happening. Successful traders who are aware of the hurricaneomic effect expand their view from the eye of the storm to opportunities beyond its immediate reach.
For example the shift to ethanol as a clean air additive, has sparked a big increase in demand. A major source of ethanol in the United States is corn. The shock of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's most recent supply/demand estimates is not that the planted acreage of corn has declined from 2005, as expected, but that the usage of corn for ethanol will increase dramatically in the season ahead. With reduced production and higher usage, spurred by energy demand, competition for corn could become intense.
Market prices of ethanol are currently over $3 per gallon, and ethanol producers could pay near $7 a bushel a corn and still have positive returns, estimates Chris Hurt, Purdue University extension marketing specialist. Corn at $7 is a far cry from the price a little over $2 a bushel that livestock producers have paid in recent years. Hurricanes, past or future, won't be totally responsible for corn prices, of course, but at least part of the current demand for corn for fuel can be attributed to the 2005 hurricanes. If another severe hurricane season exacerbates the current energy situation or if weather in either 2006 or 2007 reduces corn production, corn may be the next bull market.
It is widely believed that infertile couples who adopt a child are subsequently more likely to conceive than similar couples who do not. The usually explanation for this remarkable phenomenon involves the alleviation of stress. Couples who adopt, it is said, become less obsessed with their reproductive failure, and their new-found peace of mind boosts their chances for success.
In reality, couples who conceive after adopting are noteworthy. Their good fortune is reported by the media, transmitted by friends and neighbours, and therefore is more likely to come to our attention than the fate of couples ho adopt but do no conceive, or those who conceive without adopting.
Several things are clear at the outset. First, people do not hold questionable beliefs simply because they have not been exposed to the relevant evidence. Erroneous beliefs plague both experienced professionals and less informed laypeople alike.
Many questionable and erroneous beliefs have purely cognitive origins, and can be traced to imperfections in our capacities to process information and draw conclusions. We hold many dubious beliefs, in other words, not because they satisfy some important psychological need, but because they seem to be the most sensible conclusions consistent with the available evidence. People hold such beliefs because they seem, in the words of Robert Merton, to be the "irresistible products of their own experience." They are the products, not of irrationality, but of flawed rationality.
Early in 1998, Long-Term began to short large amounts of equity volatility. But more than any other, "equity vol" was Long-Term's signature trade. Equity vol comes straight from the Black-Scholes model. It is based on the assumption that the volatility of stocks is, over time, consistent. The stock market, for instance, typically varies by about 15 percent to 20 percent a year. Now and then, the market might be more volatile, but it will always revert to form. It was guided by the unseen law of large numbers, which assured the world of a normal distribution of brown cows and spotted cows and quiet trading days and market crashes. For Long-Term's professors, with their supreme faith in markets, this was written in stone. It flowed from their Mertonian view of markets as efficient machines that spit out new prices with all the random logic of heat molecules dispersing through a cloud. And when the models told them that the markets were mispricing equity vol, they were willing to bet the firm on it.
There is no stock or security known as "equity vol," no direct way of making a wager on it. But there is an indirect way. Remember that, according to the Black-Scholes formula, the key element in pricing an option is the expected volatility of the underlying asset. As the asset gets jumpier, the price of the option rises. Therefore, if you knew the price of an option, you could infer the level of volatility the market was expecting.
An analogy may be helpful. There is no direct way to bet on the weather in Florida—but in certain seasons, the price of orange juice futures fluctuates according to the likelihood of a frost. Indeed, an experienced trader could infer, if the price of juice was unusually high, that the market was expecting a chilly winter and thus a scarcity of oranges. And if the trader believed that the market's weather forecast was wrong, he could try to profit on his opinion by shorting orange juice.
In a similar manner, Long-Term deduced that the options market was anticipating volatility in the stock market of roughly 20 percent. Long-Term viewed this as incorrect, because actual volatility was only about 15 percent. Thus, it figured that option prices would sooner or later fall. So Long-Term began to short options—specifically, options on the Standard & Poor's 500 stock index and on the equivalent indices on the major exchanges in Europe. In their own argot, the professors were "selling volatility".

Mustacheo Rants: My Opinions on Amy Rose

I couldn't decide if this was really a rant oder not, but whatever.
Amy Rose has become a problem to me, but it's a very schizophrenic problem. In some games I like her, in others I don't. I will be speaking my opinions about game, Comic, and TV Zeigen Amy's throughout the ages here, as each one is different.
Skipping Sonic CD, because well… her role was very tiny, Sonic Adventure had her first voice appearance, so it was a big deal (LA LA LA, CAN'T HEAR YOU, SHUFFLE, LA LA LA! Also am I the only one who doesn't see the Nights/Cosmo comparison in those characters?)....

If Amy Rose Got Married to Sonic...........
posted by kaykay0412
If Amy got married to Sonic, Sonic`s carrer is over. In Sonic`s world, Amy would be going whereever he goes. She wont let him fight anyone. She might force him to Bewegen out of where he always live. She wont let him have any Friends oder even talk to his old ones. She will KISS him every morning, afternoon, and night. Maybe even 24,7. She will drag him to ever clothing store she sees to help her Shop for the clothes and pay for them. After all, it does takes hours for a woman to pick out the clothes that Suits her. The worst thing of all is having CHILDREN. If Amy has children, Sonic is gonna have to be stuck in the house until they are teens. ALL of them. And that would take FOREVER. In Amy`s world, Sonic would Liebe her and care for her do whatever she wants. he would do the oppisite of what I said. he wouldnt mind having children. Do Du think that Amy Rose and Sonic make the perfect couple? Answer that Frage in the quiz.

Seeing those hateful Kommentare have made me so angry and I pretty much hate you. I'm talking about the jerks that would kill Amy and other shit.

Transform your drawers and closets and tame those laundry piles with this tricky-to-learn but easy-to-master technique for folding t-shirts in seconds! Howdini shows you how with this awesome hack.
Transcript Lay your tshirt down on a flat surface. Lightly pinch one third of the way between the collar and shoulder seam. Follow the fold line to about halfway down the length and lightly pinch there. Without letting go, fold the shoulder pinch over the midway pinch to the seam at the bottom of the shirt, again following that imaginary fold line down the shirt. Here things get a little tricky, so we're gonna slow it down. Still pinching, lift shirt and uncross your arms and with one final fold, you're done! once you get the hang of it, you'll be a t-shirt folding machine!

Площа 285,6 га. Статус присвоєно згідно з рішенням ХІІІ сесія VII скликання Харківської обласної ради від 07.12.2017 року № 606-VII.

Статус присвоєно для збереження природного комплексу (стариці, луки, болота, ліси), який має особливу природоохоронну, наукову та естетичну цінність. Заказник розташований у спільній заплаві річок Сіверський Донець та Оскіл.

У заказнику мешкають бобри, які будують греблі. Одна з таких гребель існує на струмку, що впадає в озеро Глибоке.

Унаслідок повномасштабного російського військового вторгнення в Україну в лютому 2022 року попаданням артилерійських снарядів 9 квітня 2022 була зруйнована гребля Оскільського водосховища. Ця подія суттєво загрожує заказнику.

The Willaston Circuit is a 3.5-mile road racing course on the Isle of Man used for cycle racing and classic car racing. The inaugural race was in 1936 and the course was last used in 2000 by the Manx Motor Racing Club before the foot & mouth outbreak in the British Isles halted all motor racing on the Isle of Man in 2001.

The route passes the Mountain Course at TT Grandstand, turns right at Parkfield Corner, right at Willaston Corner, and then runs through Cronk-y-Berry and Edge's Corner before re-joining the mountain course at Cronk-ny-Mona and turning right again to Signpost Corner, The Nook and Governor's Bridge.

Q: Converting VBA conditional Switch to Java without lots of if else I am trying to convert Excel VBA code to Java. Since, Java's switch doesn't take in conditional case, I am confused on how to come up with elegant code without a bunch of if else statements.
VBA code that I have.
           Select Case a
                Case Is < 12
                    b = (3000 + c) * 1.1
                Case 12
                    b = 4000 + c
                Case Is < 18
                    b = (4000 + c) * 1.1
                Case 18
                    b = 4500 + c
                Case Is < 24
                    b = (4500 + c) * 1.1
                Case 24
                    b = 5000 + c
                Case Is < 30
                    b = (5000 + c) * 1.1
                Case 30
                    b = 5500 + c
                Case Is < 36
                    b = (5500 + c) * 1.1
                Case 36
                    b = 6000 + c
            End Select

Code that I don't want to end up doing in Java.
    if(a<12)
        b = (3000 + c) * 1.1;
    if(a==12 )
        b = 4000 + c;
    if(a<18)
        b = (4000 + c) * 1.1;
     .
     .
     .
     .
     .

Is there any better solution for this? Any suggestions and implementations are appreciated.

A: The original code has unnecessary duplication and for this reason, you shouldn't try to copy it as-is. Or, if you want to do that, you need to use a lengthy if-else block in Java, which you wanted to avoid (and should) .
Instead, I think you should analyze the underlying (business) logic and refactor accordingly.
Something like:
// assumes the given integer values are positive
public static double calculate(int a, int c) {
    final double coefficient = 1.1;
    final int multiplier = 6;
    final int increment = 500;
    final int baseValue = 3000;

    if (a < 12) {
        return (baseValue + c) * coefficient;
    }

    if (a <= 36) {
         // int division is truncated to nearest int value
        int result = ((a / multiplier) * increment) + baseValue + c;
        if (a % multiplier == 0) {
            return result;
        } else {
            return result * coefficient;
        }
    }
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid value for a (" + a + ")");
}

A test run of the code:
public static void main(String... args) {
        final int c = 100;
        for (int a = 1; a < 37; a++) {
            System.out.println("calculate a:[" + a + "] for c:[" + c + "]. Result: [" + String.format("%.2f", calculate(a, c)) + "]");
        }
    }

Console output:

We are experts in providing education and entertainment for kids Birthday Parties and other events. If you're wanting to organise the perfect Wildlife Birthday Party featuring amazing native animals including Reptiles, Birds and Mammals then get in touch!
Price on Application, contact us now for a price.
Wild Rangers offer Wildlife parties and Reptile parties throughout SE Queensland and Northern New South Wales including the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Tweed Coast, Pottsville, Kingscliff, Byron Bay, Murwillumbah and surrounding areas.
The birthday child will get special treatment, and will be 'our special helper' for the day. They will be up the front with the presenter and get to hold the animals. The birthday child will also receive a framed photo with an animal of their choice which we print on the day. To find out what areas of Australia we can provide reptile parties to, click here.
Have your camera ready to take lots of photos. If you have a special request, just ask! All you will need to do is sit back and relax and let us take your guests for a walk on the wild side!
Are the kids allowed to eat while the animals are out?
Unfortunately we can't allow the kids to eat while the animals are out due to germs which our animals carry. We also suggest having some Hand Sanitiser on hand or preferably hand washing facilities for the kids to use after the show. It's a good idea to give the kids a quick snack before we arrive.
Generally we don't ask for a deposit when making a booking. We ask you to pay in full on the day.
Can we have the party at your location?
We are a private zoo that is not open to the public. We can visit you at any location for your party.
Can we have the party at a park?
Yes, but we ask you to have a wet weather backup plan as it's unfair to cancel the party due to bad weather. Again we would require shade. We also require somewhere close to park as we have a lot to unload.
If the party is inside, will the animals make a mess?
Not likely, since we carry the animals they are not running around pooing on the floor.
Yes we can do parties outside, however we do require a shaded area and enough space for our animals and for the kids to sit in a circle.
How much time do we need to set up?
It doesn't take us too long to set up. We will arrive 10-15 minutes prior to starting to unload and set up.
What time should I start the party?
We ask that you start the party at least 30min before we arrive. This will allow for late comers, so we're able to start on time.
