Lab mice point way to HIV vaccine
Tests on lab mice have opened up a new path towards a vaccine against HIV, one of the most frustrating quests in the 30-year history of AIDS, scientists have reported.
Genetically modified mice fought back the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) after they had been injected with genes to make antibodies, the first line of defence in the immune system, the report said in the journal Nature.
First identified in 1981, AIDS has claimed at least 25 million lives, although the annual toll is falling sharply from the peak of the pandemic in response to drug treatment.
But AIDS campaigners say the pandemic will only be crushed once a vaccine emerges. So far, in clinical trials, only one candidate formula has had even a modest effect, providing a shield of only 31 percent against the risk of HIV infection.
This has prompted researchers to return to the drawing board, to look for "broadly neutralising antibodies" – Y-shaped proteins that are the immune system's foot soldiers – among the tiny number of people with an innate ability to resist HIV.
So far, this trawl has turned up around 20 so-called "bNAbs," but there are big unknowns as to how they work and, if so, whether they can be made into a deliverable vaccine.
Delving into this, a team led by David Baltimore at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) says it has developed a way to deliver bNAb-making genes to lab mice.
The rodents were engineered to carry human cells that allow HIV to penetrate and reproduce.
The approach, called Vectored Immuno Prophylaxis, or VIP, entails using a harmless virus as a "Trojan horse" in which they tucked the genes able to turn out specific bNAbs.
They then injected the virus into the leg muscles of the mice, where it holed up in cells, enabling the bNAb genes to produce antibodies in response to HIV.
The mice were first challenged with just one nanogram of AIDS virus – enough to infect most non-treated mice that received it – but the dose was eventually cranked up to 125 nanograms without problems. There were no signs of any side effects.
"VIP has a similar effect to a vaccine but without ever calling on the immune system to do any of the work," said Alejandro Balazs, lead author of the study, in a press release issued by Caltech.
"Normally, you put an antigen or killed bacteria or something into the body, and the immune system figures out how to make an antibody against it. We've taken that whole part out of the equation."
The team stressed that the jump from mice to humans is large.
"We're not promising that we've actually solved the human problem," said Baltimore. "But the evidence for prevention in these mice is very clear."
He added the team was drawing up plans to cautiously test the method in small-scale human clinical trials.

I got a nasty, but reproducible, crasher.
with $brush a resurce object created with imagecreatetruecolor() (and not destroyed with imagedestroy() yet).
The crash is a ~3 second pauze followed by either by a bus error or a segmentation fault.
However, this bug is notoriously hard to isolate. For one thing, the end of the file contains an unused function with nothing but bogus statements ($abc = 'xxxxx';). If I removed this function, the code no longer crashes.
I _assume_ that there is buffer overflow somewhere, resulting in random memory being executed. At least that may explain why the removal of an unused function alters the behavior. This may also explain why it runs fine on the Intel, but that may be also because the different PHP version.
imagesetbrush() -- uses a resource internally, has some comments on imagedestroy().
So far I removed other suspect code (e.g. imagettfbbox(), imagettftext() and all usage of external files) and trimmed the code down from 500 to 200 lines. However, I have a hard time to narrow it even further.
Since I suspect  that it is hard to reproduce on other machines, please advise how to proceed. Should I compile 5-CVS, use --enable-debug? (If so, please give a pointers, I usually use a package manager for installation and this is the first time I use gdb).
Either a Fatal error blaming my buggy code, or a normal result, like I see on the Intel with PHP 5.1.6.
The problem was imagefill in setroundbrush. Please try using CVS (5.2) or snapshots.
First of all - thank for the very fast reply. Much appreciated.
- When upgrading to 5.2.0 (stable) on the Intel, I also got crashes.
- However, your example script finished just fine. But that doesn't say much if the error is corrupt memory.
In addition, you resolution seems correct too. I just downloaded the CVS version of 5.2.0 (I only noticed later therer are also snapshots, doh).
Finally -- out of curiousity. How did you narrow this down? I'm interested, so I may be able to give more focussed bug reports next time.

PotCoin Makes Special Appearance at North Korea Summit
Zane Huffman
Just two or three years ago, the headlines and events involving cryptocurrency that currently take place worldwide could not have been imagined. When PotCoin caught everyone's attention for its appearance at the recent summit between leaders of the USA and North Korea days ago, it was certainly one such instance.
Dennis Rodman arrived in Singapore on June 11 dawning a "Make America Great Again" hat and a PotCoin.com tee. Rodman, perhaps one of the most unique ambassadors the world has seen, has played a key role in US-North Korea diplomatic relationships since his first visit to North Korea's capital, Pyongyang, in March of 2013.
Just arrived to Singapore for the Historical Summit! Looking forward to @POTUS having incredible success that the whole world will benefit by. Thank you @potcoin for supporting my mission! #Peace #Love #HistoricalSummit #Singapore #PresidentTrump #MarshallKimJongUn pic.twitter.com/XNDsyBjLv8
— Dennis Rodman (@dennisrodman) June 11, 2018
This is the second instance in which the eccentric former NBA star has been sponsored by PotCoin on his diplomatic trips, the first being in 2017. In reference to the sponsorship, PotCoin's Shawn Perez made the following comment:
The PotCoin team as a community has been incredibly supportive of Rodman's peace mission from the beginning. We're thrilled to see how the political climate has improved between North Koreans and the U.S. since he became involved.
Although marijuana is legal in a number of US states, the drug remains illegal at the federal level. As such, many cannabis shops and other businesses in the field find themselves unable to receive adequate banking assistance. As such, many stores have elected to simply deal in cash. However, this has made numerous locations susceptible to robbery. PotCoin seeks to become the universal banking alternative for marijuana businesses across the US.
PotCoin's price responded immediately to the global coverage, seeing an over 30% increase in the hours following Rodman's arrival in North Korea, rising from US$0.075 to $0.10. Unfortunately, PotCoin has since been unable to maintain that growth, and has seen much of its gains diminish alongside the absolute slaughter of cryptocurrency markets over the past few days. PotCoin's trip to North Korea in 2017 saw similar price action, as the coin temporarily shot up 60% before losing much of that increase over the course of the next several days.
Many experts have named Dennis Rodman the single most important tool in understanding and unifying the minds of Kim Jong Un and Donald Trump. However, the relationship between the two leaders remains unclear and constantly changing. A major takeaway from the summit was Trump's assertion that North Korea should disarm its nuclear program by 2020. Semantics aside, such a reality would be a marvelous achievement by the president and others like Rodman who work in the name of peace between the two nations.

Southern Shrimp Alliance Letters Antiquities Act
Antiquities Act
The Southern Shrimp Alliance and 90 co-signatories sent a letter to President Biden to express concerns regarding calls for the administration to establish "fully and highly protected areas" in 30% of the U.S. ocean by 2030, including through marine monuments designated under the Antiquities Act.
The potential designation of marine monuments under the Antiquities Act sets back efforts to advance equity and environmental justice. The action would cost jobs, reduce economic activity, add new inflationary pressures, and reduce trust and transparency in government.
The calls to protect 30% of the US oceans follow recent decisions to restore a commercial fishing prohibition in the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument and to join the High Level Panel for a Sustainable Ocean Economy, which commits the United States to actions that could lead to further prohibitions.
The letter on behalf of workers, communities, and businesses from across the economy and country urges the use of science-based and transparent processes when considering actions to manage the ocean for current and future generations.

Public: Keep threatened 'K' route, grow transit
Nora G. Hertel
WAUSAU – The bus stop in front of North Central Health Care was full Wednesday morning after the city's Transit Commission held a public hearing on what to do if Weston voters cut funding for a route that runs through the village.
Those at the bus stop came to testify at one of two hearings Wednesday, held at 10 a.m. to accommodate people who rely on the bus, which runs only between 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. The second hearing took place in the evening at Schofield City Hall.
The Wausau Transit Commission held the hearings to gather feedback on their contingency plans should Weston opt out of funding.
Column: Why we need public transit
Letter: Business owners: Vote yes on Weston bus
Column: Vote yes to keep the bus running in Weston
One of those who came to defend the route was Wausau resident Mary Sann, who attended in her electric wheelchair. She has become dependent on public transportation in the last two years and uses the Metro Ride Route K, which may be eliminated, for shopping trips.
"I have to totally depend upon the transit system," said Sann, who was left disabled by injuries suffered in an auto crash. "With the wheelchair, it's hard."
Ballots in Weston for the Nov. 4 midterm election include a referendum asking village residents whether they want to increase property taxes by about $10 a year on a $150,000 home to fund public transportation. This would affect Route K, which extends from North Central Health Care in Wausau south to Schofield, Weston and Rothschild. All municipalities chip in for the service.
The roughly 20 people who attended the Wausau session voiced a common refrain — don't cut the route and expand services elsewhere.
"'We need more service,' is something we hear all the time," said Wausau Transit Director Greg Seubert.
If voters choose not to raise taxes, Seubert added, "(Wausau officials) will in all likelihood eliminate Route K and all the paratransit services in Rothschild, Schofield and Weston."
Paratransit services include special door-to-door transportation for people with special needs or disabilities. Paratransit is required by federal law to supplement fixed routes.
Sann said maintaining transit is more cost-effective for taxpayers than meeting the federal requirement for special-needs riders by hiring private transportation that could charge between $10 and $20 an hour. Transit offers practical assistance, but it also allows people with limited mobility a valuable sense of self-sufficiency, Sann said.
"Maybe we're not a huge majority of people," Sann said. "But sometime it feels that we're not valued as much."
A few of the attendees also mentioned the need for transit to support the elderly and working populations.
Audrey Kostroski works for the Department of Workforce Development in Wausau and mapped out job openings from a recent week, highlighting those that were along bus routes. She identified 423 available jobs in Wausau and the surrounding area, including Schofield and Weston.
Of those jobs, 248 required employees to work hours outside of bus operating times, Kostroski said. She pointed to the southern portion of her map and jobs in Schofield and Weston, and said all of those jobs would be off the transit grid if Route K were canceled.
Renee Hodell, taxpayer relations coordinator for the village of Weston, was present at the meeting, taking notes, but would not comment for this story.
Right now, Wausau is planning its 2015 budget as if Weston voters will agree to continue funding the route.
"The more partners we have, the more it helps us pay our overhead," Seubert said.
The feedback gathered Wednesday will be presented to the Transit Commission after the Nov. 4 vote.
"We'll be positioned at that point to make a final decision," Seubert said.
Any changes would take effect Jan. 1, 2015.

Village of Weston public transportation referendum question
Under state law, the increase in the levy of the Village of Weston for the tax to be imposed for the next fiscal year, 2015, is limited to 1.16%, which results in a levy of $4,641,264. Shall the Village of Weston be allowed to exceed this limit and increase the levy for the next fiscal year, 2015, and on an ongoing basis, by $60,000 per year, to pay for the cost of providing public transportation (which for 2015 equals an additional 1.308% for a total increase of 2.468% and results in a total levy of $4,701,264, which sum does not include other exemptions from the levy limit)?
Letter: Some rely on transit for necessities
Letter: Bus service helps local businesses
Weston bus decision will be felt regionally: Our View

DAGOMO is the only Organisation that actively prepares people for old age, dignifies aging and gives people hope in such a way that even in and after death, the community benefits.
DAGOMO Foundation Nigeria LTD/GTE (DAGOMO) is a private based charitable non-governmental, not for profit organization established in Benin City, Edo State in March 2007 in honour of Daniel and Grace Omoigui by their children.
In 2008, the foundation was first launched in a thanksgiving ceremony held for Ma Grace Omoigui who had just recovered from an illness. Funds were raised for the foundation; however it was not significant enough for a proper takeoff.
In 2012, the children of Pa & Ma Daniel and Grace Omoigui organized a book launch to commemorate the 80th birthday celebration of Pa Daniel Omoigui. The title of the book was DAGOMO, a book which tells a story of their marriage, their journey through life's challenges as well as a historic recording of their genealogy and events in Nigeria. After a successful book launch, the proceeds were used to start off the operational phase of DAGOMO foundation Nigeria with an office complex located in Benin City, Edo State; the town where Pa and Ma Daniel Omoigui grew up and lived.
DAGOMO is dedicated to providing support to areas that are critical for nation building but haven't received adequate attention.
Our focus is to channel our intervention towards the neglected in society. For the purpose of our work, neglected is defined as but not limited to;

The security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government.
The constitution further specifies some of these Fundamental Objectives and Directive Principles of State Policy to cover the following aspects;
– That suitable and adequate shelter, suitable and adequate food, reasonable national minimum living wage, old age care and pensions, and unemployment, sick benefits and welfare of the disabled are provided for all citizens.
The welfare of citizens being the primary duty of government, behooves on us the social responsibility to constantly stimulate governments at all levels to live up to its responsibility towards the neglected , while we contribute our selfless services in ensuring that everyone has an opportunity for a fulfilling life.
The focus of our programs is the elderly above the age of 60, living alone with little or no domestic/external help, poor living conditions, people with physical and emotional needs.
Make every day worth living for humanity

Just around the corner from the iconic Stag Hertford War Memorial in Hertford is a little bit of eastern promise.
Elle's Kitchen is owner Elle Thi's third local venture. Moving away from her Thai background, this is her first kitchen offering Vietnamese food alongside Thai and Chinese.
Did we have to wait long to be seated?
As soon as I set foot in the door I was warmly welcomed and shown to a table. I was given the menus to peruse and not long after a pot of green tea arrived in a traditional cast iron pot.
I love Thai food but I wasn't too au fait with Vietnamese food. Elle, having more than 35 years' experience, was more than happy to spend some time with me explaining the origin and cooking methods of the extensive menu.
Elle explained each chef brings their own flavours to a restaurant and, depending on their origin, also determines the strength. Northern chefs tend to cook stronger flavours.
She said that the dishes on the menu are the food of art. All of them are cooked or made to order using fresh ingredients. It's more than clear that the aesthetics of the food are just as, if not more, important as the taste.
Not long after pouring our second cup of green tea, our food arrived, and it just did not stop ... more and more dishes were served like a non-stop procession of Eastern delights.
The accommodating service they offer works perfectly alongside their beautifully presented, flavoursome dishes. The talented chefs are backed by a wealth of experience in cooking and presenting food. They are more than happy to cater to any dietary requirements.
Whether it's an informal lunch, evening meal with friends or large party celebration, Elle and her team are more than happy to accommodate.
The restaurant features tasteful decor and has a friendly atmosphere. Their attentive staff work hard to give you an authentic quality restaurant experience.
If you think you may know Thai, Vietnamese and Chinese food, I'd highly recommend you try this little bit of Eastern delight in Hertford. Trust me, you won't be disappointed.
Elle's Kitchen is fully licensed, open seven days for both lunch and dinner and also offers a takeaway and delivery service.


Watch Matthew McConaughey Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony below.
The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce proudly honored award winning actor Matthew McConaughey with the 2,534th star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on Monday, November 17, 2014 at 11:30 a.m. The star in the category of motion pictures was unveiled in front of Madame Tussauds Hollywood at 6931 Hollywood Boulevard. "Matthew McConaughey is one of Hollywood's most popular leading men and the community of Hollywood is proud to place his star on our famed historic Hollywood Walk of Fame," stated Ana Martinez, producer of the Walk of Fame ceremonies.
Texas native Matthew McConaughey began his career with a chance meeting in Austin with casting director and producer Don Phillips who led him to director Richard Linklater, who later launched the actor's career in the cult classic "Dazed and Confused." Since then, he has appeared in over 40 feature films that have grossed over $1 billion; and has become a producer, director, and philanthropist – all the while sticking to his Texas roots and "jk livin" philosophy.
2014 has been a game changing year for McConaughey. He has received numerous awards and accolades for the critically acclaimed "Dallas Buyers Club" for which he dropped 47 pounds to play to role of AIDS stricken Ron Woodruff. The film was directed by Jean Marc Valle and also stars Jennifer Garner and Jared Leto. For his riveting portrayal McConaughey received an Academy Award®, Golden Globe Award, Screen Actors Guild Award and Gotham Award for Best Actor, the Best Actor Award at the Rome Film Festival as well as the Desert Palm Achievement Actor Award at the Palm Springs Film Festival.
McConaughey currently stars in the recently released Paramount Pictures film "Interstellar," directed by Christopher Nolan and in theatres now.
In 2012 McConaughey was spotlighted in four diverse career changing performances. He won a Spirit Award for his portrayal of Dallas Rising in Steven Soderbergh's "Magic Mike," and was named the year's Best Supporting Actor by both the New York Film Critics Circle and the National Society of Film Critics for his work in "Magic Mike" and Richard Linklater's "Bernie." McConaughey also received acclaim for his performance in Lee Daniels' "The Paperboy," and was a Spirit Award nominee for playing the title role in William Friedkin's "Killer Joe." He followed this up in 2013 with the release of Jeff Nichols' "Mud," which received rave reviews and was a sleeper hit in the national box office top 10 for five weeks and Martin Scorsese's "The Wolf of Wall Street," which opened in December 2013.
He made the move to TV starring alongside Woody Harrelson in the HBO dramatic series "True Detective." The show has been met by rave reviews from critics and fans alike and earned him a Critics Choice and TCA Award for Best Actor in a Drama Series as well as an Emmy Nomination.
In 2008, McConaughey started The just keep livin Foundation (www.jklivinfoundation.org), which is dedicated to helping boys and girls transform into men and women through programs that teach the importance of decision-making, health, education, and active living. The Foundation has partnered with Communities in Schools (CIS) – the nation's largest, non-profit, dropout-prevention organization –in West Los Angeles to implement fitness and wellness programs in two large urban high schools. Through an afterschool program, they are able to give kids a healthy start in life and the promise of a healthy future.

A pair of identical, enigmatic lead objects were found partly buried in the seabed some 10m to the east of the stern of Colossus. It was difficult to ascribe a function to these objects on an eighteenth century warship. After consultation with Historic England, it was decided to recover them to allow further investigation.
The pair of lead objects (C10.15) on the seabed some 10m to the east of the stern of Colossus.
Scale = 0.5m
The lead objects appeared to be weights. Each has two holes of 15mm (1/2 inch) diameter running through the thickness of the weights, presumably for attachment. Each weighs about 24.5kg (54lb). The superficial similarity to modern scuba diving weights prompted the speculation that these might have been connected with early salvage diving on the site of Colossus. We know of at least two successful early salvage divers who worked on the wreck of Colossus; the first of these was Ralph Tonkin of Penzance. The following account is from the Sherbourne Mercury of 25th March 1805 (but listed as port news for Torbay on the 20th March 1805).
This day arrived the sloop DANIEL, Captain Richard Duff, from the Island of Scilly, by an order from His Majesty's Board of Ordnance, to take up the guns and the remaining part of the wreck of his Majesty's ship VENERABLE, under the direction of Mr. Ralph Tonkin, of Penzance, and are the same crew who took up the guns and the stores of his Majesty's ship COLOSSUS, wrecked on Scilly Rocks a few years since.
Sherbourne Mercury of 25th March 1805
Board of Ordnance records dated August 1799 attest to his success, stating that 'Messrs Tomkins & Co' were paid £479/9s/11d for the recovery of 37 iron guns (36 of which were deemed serviceable). Details of Mr Tonkin's diving apparatus survive in a print he had made of his salvage operations on the wreck of the Abergavenny in September 1805. This shows his apparatus to consist of a small copper 'bell' worn over the upper torso with arm holes sealed with leather tubes. The bell is shown weighted with a band of lead around the lower edge. The print does not show enough detail to see clearly what form the lead takes, but this does not appear to be an obvious match for the lead objects found on Colossus.

In 1833 the renowned salvage diver John Deane visited Scilly and dived on the wrecks of Colossus and the brig Hope(carrying ivory and gold dust). Deane was accompanied by another diver, William Edwards. We are told that 'After an uneventful passage to the Scilly Isles, John searched for and quickly found the wreck of Colossus'. He recovered a number of iron guns from Colossus as well as 17 cwt of copper sheathing.
Intriguingly, they also suffered an unusual and somewhat incredible accident – reported in the Hampshire Telegraph of November 4th 1833:
It is now thirty-five years since his Majesty's ship Colossus was wrecked in St Mary's Roads, Scilly. A few weeks since, two young men (brothers) were there with a diving apparatus of a new construction, and succeeded in bringing-up several pieces of cannon, &c. from the wreck. The following extraordinary fact merits investigation: one of the guns exploded on being struck with a hammer, while lying near St. Mary's quay, and the wadding &c. fell on Rat Island. Master-Gunner Ross was severely injured in the leg by the accident.
Hampshire Telegraph, November 4th 1833
It is hard to believe that a charge of black powder would remain dry and viable after immersion in 15m of seawater for 35 years. One possible explanation is that they thought the gun was in such good condition that they would try it with a charge of powder – which would also explain the presence of 'Master-gunner Ross'. Whatever the truth of this strange event, it is clear that they did raise a number of guns from Colossus, and even made illustrations of some of them.
Deane's drawing of guns recovered from Colossus. They are probably an 18lb Armstrong (upper gun deck), 9lb Armstrong (quarter deck/forecastle) and a Carronade (Bevan, 1996).It is interesting to note how much iron corrosion concretion has accumulated on the guns in just 35 years.
Illustrations of the Deanes' diving equipment clearly show the diver with two lead weights of exactly the same shape as those recovered from the wreck. Furthermore, a description of their diving equipment in the Berwick Advertiser, May 1840(quoted in The Infernal Diver pp165-6) states that the diver was weighted with 'Two pieces of lead, of one half cwt each' – this being 56lb it is remarkably close to the 54lb weight of our recovered lead objects.
The Deane helmet and dress as illustrated in 1842 (Bevan, 1996, p. 196). Note the weight suspended from the helmet by two ropes. Above – one of the lead weights (C10.15) recovered from near the stern of Colossus
A detail from an illustration made by Charles Deane of their diving operations in London Docks (Deane, 1835, p. Plate 10)
Note the weight on the diver's back – the same shape as those found on Colossus.
One of the pair of lead weights C10.15B found on the seabed to the east of the stern of Colossus. Note there are no mould-lines or casting shrinkage hollows evident on either of the weights.
The case for the identification of C10.15 as the Deanes' dive weights can be made as follows. Firstly, they are shaped just like the Deane weights shown in contemporary illustrations – down to details such as curve, convex bottom and rope-hole positions. The mass is almost the same as that stated for the Deane weights; there are exactly the right number, two; and lastly we know that the Deanes were there in 1833 and recovered guns and copper from Colossus.
Given the similarity of form, mass, material and quantity it seems reasonable to postulate that these weights were lost or jettisoned by the Deanes while salvage diving on the wreck of Colossus in 1833. This is important and portentous. We have always known that salvage divers worked on the wreck of Colossus – but we have never known upon which of the two wreck sites (Roland Morris' bow site or the 2001 stern site) these operations occurred. That the Deanes arrived in 1833 and quickly found the site suggests that they were informed where to look by those who had witnessed the wreck. This strongly suggests that the wreck site of Colossus was perceived as where the stern lies now (and where the Deanes' weights were found) and not where Roland Morris found pottery and scattered iron guns. This not only corroborates the wrecking theory proposed in 2017 (Camidge, 2017) it also explains the mystery of the missing guns on the stern site – they were salvaged by Tonkin (1799) and the Deanes (1833). The only guns left on the stern site were those partly buried in the seabed (Guns 1 to 6). At last the oft-repeated perception that Colossuswas wrecked on Southard Well Reef, near to the site salvaged by Roland Morris, can be convincingly challenged.

SAN ANTONIO - A man is dead after he was shot while chasing down a car theft suspect Sunday afternoon, police said.
Police say 23-year-old Jacob Gabriel stole a car from a gas station at Fountain Wood and O'Connor roads around 2 p.m.Three drivers who witnessed the car theft began pursuing Gabriel in their cars.
According to police, one of the good Samaritans who gave chase sideswiped the stolen car along the I-35 Frontage Road. Police said Gabriel and good Samaritans got into a fight when Gabriel pulled out a handgun that he found in the stolen car.
After missing the first time he fired, Gabriel shot again and hit a man in his torso. That man, only identified as a 31-year-old, died at a hospital.
When police got to the scene, Gabriel had already taken off to a nearby hotel. Witnesses pointed police to a room at the Stay Express Inn and authorities arrested the suspect.
Gabriel is charged with theft of a firearm, theft of a vehicle and murder.

What Do Memes Tell Us About Jewish Identity?
Home / Arts & Culture / What Do Memes Tell Us About Jewish Identity?
by Molly Cooke July 3, 2018 in Arts & Culture, Latest
When she feels sad or stressed with schoolwork, Rebecca, a 20-year-old Canadian college student, will look through comments on the posts she and her friend Gabi have made from their Facebook page, "Jewish Memes for the Chosen Teens." On one particularly popular post, bold text on a pink background asks, "Is your child expressing interest in Jewish life? Watch out for these warning signs," then lists text message abbreviations with alternate definitions related to Judaism and Jewish culture. It has more than 1,200 reactions (or "reacts"), nearly 300 shares and more than 2,500 comments. Most are people commenting their friends' names to "tag" them and subsequently send them a notification, sharing the meme as an inside joke with their fellow Jews.
This meme was posted on January 30, 2018 by the Facebook page "Jewish Memes for the Chosen Teens" with the accompanying comment, "jewish youths and their slang…"
But what's in a meme? Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins first coined the term "meme" in his 1976 book The Selfish Gene. Etymologically rooted in Ancient Greek, it is a shortening of "mimeme," meaning "imitated thing" and was meant to signify an idea unit that spread. "Memes (discrete units of knowledge, gossip, jokes and so on) are to culture what genes are to life," Dawkins wrote. His purpose was to analogize the discussion of thought proliferation with genetics. In the digital era, however, "meme" has taken on a more internet-specific meaning. Heidi Campbell, a professor of communication at Texas A&M, often discusses memes in her classes on religion and media. In the classroom, she defines an internet meme as "a digital image with a slogan that's closely associated, often drawn from pop culture or digital culture which seeks to communicate a message in a humorous way." According to Campbell, "what makes memes work is that they have to be some kind of image that is easily decoded by the people who are seeing it and have some kind of message that people can identify with."
This means that memes, in addition to being proliferatory, are necessarily communal. On social media, memes are shared through communities of culture and practice. There are pages dedicated to everything from urban development to popular television shows to, indeed, Judaism. There's even a name for Judaism-focused pages and groups: "Jewbook."
Joe McReynolds, a co-founder and administrator ("admin") of the closed Facebook group called "sounds goyish but ok," which is home to nearly 11,750 members, doesn't post or even really like memes, but he concedes, "Jewbook kind of has all kinds. It has meme groups, it has shitposting groups, it has—I would call [sounds goyish but ok] a catharsis group…Everyone has their own sort of journey to that place where it's 'I share something with my fellow Jews—they may not be religious Jews, but they're of the same peoplehood—that I don't necessarily share with the broader culture.'"
Through the page Rebecca and Gabi manage from Toronto, they are able to connect with fellow Jews in the U.S. and around the world. "A huge part of the idea of community has shifted to the internet, and memes are now just part of that online community," Rebecca says. "Especially in Judaism, where community is so important, it's neat how so many different Jewish meme pages have somehow surfaced."
There are a variety of Jewish meme pages and groups to be found on Facebook alone, not to mention other platforms like Twitter, Instagram and Reddit. Memes' format and content evolve over time: "Hey Girl" memes, composed by overlaying pictures of Ryan Gosling with flirtatious messages or pick-up lines, have been popular since the early 2010s, when Ben Soussan started his "Jewish Memes" Facebook page while a student at McGill University in Montréal. Soussan's take on the "Hey Girl" meme includes a still of Gosling playing a yeshiva student from the 2001 movie The Believer.
This meme was posted on December 16, 2012 by Soussan on his Facebook page "Jewish Memes" with the accompanying comment, "He's quite the ladies' mench!"
Formats like "Hey Girl" become popular for a reason: They're easy to fill in and adapt to fit any theme or purpose, in this case Judaism. A popular meme since late last August has been a stock photo of a man looking back at a passing woman while the woman with whom he is holding hands, presumably a girlfriend or wife, glares at him in disgust. Each person is labelled, and the meme is usually used to illustrate giving up one thing for another. Jewish Memes for the Chosen Teens used this format to make light of the carb-heavy nature of Ashkenazi foods, while another page, "Torah U'Memeda," used it to criticize students at secular colleges for going off the derech, or deviating from the path of Orthodox Judaism.
Left: This meme was posted on August 24, 2017 by the Facebook page "Jewish Memes for the Chosen Teens" with the accompanying comment, " my heart says yes but my heart also says no " Right: This meme was posted on August 25, 2017 by the Facebook page "Torah U'Memeda" with an attribution to Facebook user "Rafi 'robraf' Melcer."
Almost any meme can be made Jewish. There are pages designated as more Orthodox or more Reform. Some tout scriptural literacy, while others flout it in favor of a more cultural focus. The plurality of Jewish meme pages reflects the plurality of perspectives on Judaism. In fact, while meme pages seem to be born out of college student boredom, many are started to fill a void in representation or discourse.
Soussan's takes on the "Hey Girl" meme hit big, but before that he was mainly just creating content that he and his friends could relate to. "At the time I didn't like the way Jewish humor was done. I thought it was either too political or too specific or too religious," Soussan says. "For me, being Jewish is more about people and about living together as a people. I wanted to make it about that, and I wanted it to have no political affiliation whatsoever. Also, you didn't have to be too religious to understand Jewish Memes."
This meme was posted on May 22, 2018 by Soussan on his Facebook page "Jewish Memes" with the accompanying comment, "Tag your Jewish Mom and/or literally any girl on your Facebook and tell them that Jewish Memes is back in the misrak."
Soussan's recent memes have taken on more modernized popular forms, but they remain secular and generally accessible to the culturally Jew-ish. A recent example is the "Is this a pigeon" meme, which plays off an animated still wherein a human-like robot misidentifies a butterfly. The robot and butterfly are each labeled and a caption reading "Is this ____?" illustrates the misidentification. Soussan used it to make fun of the Jewish mother stereotype, a common subject for more culturally-oriented Jewish meme pages.
This meme was posted on May 18, 2018 by the Facebook page "Jewish Memes for the Chosen Teens" with the accompanying comment, "Happy mother's day (on Jewish time) tag a Jewish mom to let them know how much you appreciate their nagging."
You do have to be more religious, or at least scripturally literate, to understand many Jewish meme pages. While Soussan claims his "Jewish Memes" was the first Facebook page with its name, and it has over 4,000 followers, another one with the same name has over 19,000. "It's very religious and it's really focused on like New York Jews and New York Orthodox Jews, and they talk about passages in the Torah or specific prayers that go way over my head," Soussan says. Another page, "Parsha Memes," though less popular, with just over 1,300 followers, was started by a pair of brothers for a similar purpose of posting jokes related to each week's Torah reading.
This meme was posted on November 16, 2017 by a Facebook page called "Jewish Memes" not run by Soussan.
Religious memes can be used to "show how you can be religious and you can still be into the popular culture and it can be a way to send positive messages," Campbell says. "To say, 'We can make fun of ourselves. We understand that some of our practices, from the outside, can look a little foreign. We understand that sometimes our ways aren't understood, but they still represent who we are,' is using memes as a way to affirm beliefs and identity and practices in a positive, hopeful way."
Unfortunately for Soussan, the "Jewish Memes" page with 19,000 likes wasn't the only one to copy his name. A more nefarious name mixup resulted in Facebook putting restrictions on Soussan's page in 2012 that have still not been lifted. "There was another page called 'Jewish Memes' that was not really Jewish memes, that was pretty much just Holocaust jokes, and it was really bad. The problem was that they called themselves 'Jewish Memes' and so people flagged my page thinking that it was the other page," Soussan says. "I was banned from my page for like six months."
Trolls also attacked "Torah U'Memeda" two months ago, giving one-star reviews of the page with comments repeating "Shut it down," and occasional jabs about the admin being a "big-nosed man rubbing his hands together." Not to be deterred, "Torah U'Memeda" made a meme, and a mockery, of the trolls themselves.
This meme was posted on May 29, 2018 by the Facebook page "Torah U'Memeda" with the accompanying comment, "Some group spammed the page with 1 star reviews –look at the comments if you want an explanation of where these common internet antisemetic slurs come from."
According to "Torah U'Memeda," "'Shut it down' comes from a once popular meme that plays on the Jewish conspiracy theories of domination. 'The goyim know, Shut it down' is what the meme generally reads." Meanwhile, "The 'big nose man rubbing his hands together' comes from a comic from, I believe, 2001. This stereotypical depiction of the Jew, often called hlomo shekelstein or shekelberg, is widely used online to depict a Jew. He has a hunched back, curly black hair, pale 'khazar' skin, a large nose, etc. and greedily rubbing his hands together." These are part of a greater milieu of anti-Semitic content that circulates online.
"Memes are definitely a double edged sword," Campbell says, explaining that many problematic memes relating to Judaism spread with ease on the internet. "Unfortunately, stereotypes, whether they're about certain religions or races, are ones that people easily identify and understand because they're based on generations of false assumptions or over-generalizations about a belief or a practice."
Like any tool, memes can be used for a variety of purposes. Certain pages, like "Greater Israel Memes For Zionist Teens," use memes to take on political agendas in addition to providing relatable Jewish humor. This invites further trouble. According to an admin of the page, some posts have been blocked and user accounts banned for posting certain memes, while other pages will share memes of opposite meaning without recourse. For example, they say a meme depicting a Palestinian flag on legs walking toward an Israeli flag with the text, "We all have that one friend that walks into your home like it's theirs," was removed and got a user account banned. The same meme with the flags reversed remains posted on a different meme page, "Political Bible."
Left: This meme was sent to Moment by an admin of "Greater Israel Memes For Zionist Teens" via Facebook Messenger. Right: This meme was posted on December 19, 2017 by the Facebook page "Political Bible" with the accompanying comment, "Tag that friend."
Perhaps such meme-troversy is the reason many admins are reluctant to share their identities. Greater Israel Memes For Zionist Teens refused to share the number of their admins, let alone their names, ages, genders or locations, citing "safety reasons." Most of the time, it's just "part of the shtick," Rebecca and Gabi explain about not wanting to share their last names. "It's really important to us that people don't know exactly who runs the page—I'm sure you understand that Jewish communities are often small and talkative, and we enjoy making memes a lot more when they aren't linked to our day-to-day lives," the pair wrote via Facebook Messenger before agreeing to a phone interview.
The admin of "Torah U'Memeda" gave his age, gender and occupation but preferred to remain anonymous and communicate via Facebook Messenger. He gave a similar reason for the smoke and mirrors. "I don't take the page very seriously," he wrote. "I don't want this, being engaged in all this online/social media business to take over who I am, or what people think I am."
Soussan, who is now safely established career-wise, agreed that internet-implicit anonymity has its advantages. "Memes allow a lot of people to express themselves without showing their faces," he says. "That means that a lot of people that are too shy to talk about their views can do it now because they don't even have to show their face. All we see is their work. People don't care about what I look like, they just care about my memes."
Memes may be the new frontier for religious and cultural self-expression, but they are necessarily limited in the scope of their ability to represent any group or ideology, let alone a tradition as multifaceted and complex as Judaism. Leaving aside the fact that there is a finite amount of text one can overlay on an image before it becomes unreadable, and assuming that even the most complicated of ideas can be memed, algorithms based on reacts, shares and tags dictate which posts surface on users' feeds. While this limits the nuance and diversity of perspectives represented, it allows for a crystallization of what the masses think it means to be Jewish in the digital age. "Hundreds of years from now, if we're still able to access the archives of our internet," Rebecca reflects. "I think we'll be able to get a pretty good idea of what the general population thought about all sorts of things—Judaism being one of them."

They are not devote, they are the followers of ritual judaism, an unthinking religion

He states, "October this year marks exactly six (6) years since Y102.5FM was first introduced as a totally different and engaging radio experience for the young and young at heart in Kumasi.

Single Kiasi (Singleish), the new Kenyan Showmax Original, is now streaming, with new episodes releasing every Thursday. The show will also be available to Kenyans in the UK, France and 31 other countries in the diaspora.
What does the pursuit for the one look like for 30-something women in Nairobi?
Sintamei (Gathoni Mutua) is trying to start a family with her loving husband Kevin (Lucarelli Onyango) while also building her career as a corporate lawyer.
Rebecca (Faith Kibathi) is all about motherhood, being a housewife and staying loyal to her "husband" Eric (Michael Munyoki), even though he doesn't have a shilling to his name.
And Mariah (Minne Kariuki) is all about expensive gifts and traveling to the best destinations her rich sponsor's money can buy, while chasing the next social media high and sharing slay queen dating tips with her many followers. "Paris was amazing. If your guy takes you to Dubai, please dump him," she tells her fans while on a private jet from her vacation in France.
When we catch up with them in the first episode of Single Kiasi, they seem to have their lives and their romantic relationships under control. But dating in Nairobi can be hectic, and it doesn't take long before the men of Single Kiasi prove the popular saying in the city's dating scene: "Men will embarrass you unprovoked," as reiterated by Mariah.
In the course of the 13 episodes, Single Kiasi follows Sintamei, Rebecca and Mariah as they go through the ups and downs of love and dating in Nairobi while also reminding us that, at the end of the day, friendship is the most powerful relationship they can have.
Single Kiasi is the second Showmax Original series in Kenya after the Kalasha-winning Crime and Justice.
The show is adapted from the popular South African series Unmarried, which already has successful adaptations in Nigeria (Unmarried Nigeria) and Ghana (To Have and To Have Hold).
"It's a universal story of womanhood, love and friendship," says producer and director Grace Kahaki. "But we had to make some changes here and there for the story to fit to who we are as Kenyans."
For instance, Single Kiasi incorporates a Kikuyu traditional marriage ceremony (nguracio) in place of a church wedding.
"In the South African version, one of the leading women has an affair with a security guard but we felt that this wasn't authentic to the Kenyan setting so changed the guard to an intern, which is more reflective of what happens here," Kahaki says.
Single Kiasi tackles important issues that Kenyan women go through, such as sexism in the workplace like when Sintamei is passed over for a promotion that she clearly deserves, sexual assault like in the case of Mariah who is forced to confront a past she'd rather forget, and women (and mothers) finding their own identities outside of what society expects of them like Rebecca getting to relive her youth which she missed out on by marrying too young.
"This show aims to look at women through our three main characters and allow them to choose what label they want to attach to themselves, be it single, married, wife, career woman, mother, etc," Kahaki says.
Kahaki co-produced and co-directed Single Kiasi alongside her Insignia Productions counterpart Philippe Bresson, and Robby Bresson (Simiyu Samurai).
Catch episode 1 of Single Kiasi, now streaming on Showmax, with new episodes releasing every Thursday.

When it comes to cable TV plans, most customers complain of a decrease in entertainment quality, channel options, and a steady increase in monthly bills. Furthermore, they also feel uncomfortable being stuck in a contract.
However, there are still some providers, which facilitate their customers to the max. They manage to retain their old clientele whilst winning new ones. Spectrum is one of such providers. Customers who have subscribed to Spectrum TV packages hardly ever switch. Role model companies like these take some effort to find but once you do, life becomes easy!
Why Do You Want to Switch?
There can be several reasons why you want to change your cable TV provider. It's possible that your current TV plan doesn't meet your entertainment requirements. Or, you want to cut down on the ever-increasing monthly bill by your current provider. Or, you are tempted to subscribe to a better-designed and entertainment-rich TV plan. Or simply because you have moved.
Whatever your reason may be, here are some effective and handy tips to subscribe to the best cable TV provider in your area.
Get to Know the Cable Providers in Your Area
The first step is to figure out the providers in your area. Make a simple Google search and type in your zip code to know which cable TV providers are providing their services in your area. Visiting the official website will provide more authentic results. Furthermore, you also need to know the exact TV plans the providers are offering in your area. Because plans may vary according to location.
The next step is to scrutinize the offered features and compare various details of plans under the same price bracket. The more time you invest in reading out the plans and their details, the more informed decision you will make. Here are some top providers with their list of serviced states for a general idea.
Spectrum: Covers 44 states across the United States
Cox: Service coverage is in 18 states
Xfinity: Coverage area includes 40 states
Optimum: Services 4 states including Connecticut, New York, and Pennsylvania
CenturyLink: Services 36 states
DirecTV: Covers all 50 states
This was just to give a general idea. Depending on your location, find out the exact providers and plans to make the right decision.
Pick a Plan According to your Budget
Cable TV providers offer a range of plans to choose from. You need to define a budget for yourself before you pick a plan. Especially if you are switching to a new provider to cut down on the monthly expenses, make sure you read terms and conditions, basic pricing, added taxes, hidden fees, and everything else in detail.
Plans usually start at around $25 a month. If you are not into premium entertainment and just want to catch up on news and basic channels, they would suffice. However, if you want to watch premium channels, the price tag can escalate up to $100 a month. With this budget, you can get to enjoy hundreds of entertainments, news, and sports channels along with premium channels like Starz and HBO.
Decide the Channels You Want to Have
An average cable TV viewer usually tunes into around 12-13 channels out of the 200 channel tier. So, instead of splurging on a channel tier with an escalated price tag and tons of channels, try sticking to the handful of channels you really watch.
Consider making a list of those must-have channels and then figure out which providers offer those channels. For instance, if you are an avid news follower and you are getting all your must-haves in the lowest channel tier from a particular provider, then go for it. You don't need to subscribe to the highest channel tier if all your favorite channels from your favorite genres are available in a more affordable plan.
Keep an Eye on Sales, Deals, and Bundles
You may only need a TV plan but sometimes, considering the available providers in your area, there's a higher monthly price for subscribing to a single service. On the contrary, you can save and enjoy more services like the internet and digital phone when you decide to go for a clubbed offering.
Also, consider the fact that there's no house without a steady internet subscription. So, bundling internet and TV will only facilitate you especially when you get to enjoy both services at an economical monthly price. Bundles save around $15 on average when you decide to club TV and the internet.
However, while searching for deals and sales, carefully check the expiration dates to avoid the hassle and inconvenience of being charged more automatically.
