The Global Market for Food and Drink The global market for food and drink is currently worth an incredible $7,765 billion (F-1). This figure represents total expenditure by consumers through all retail and foodservice channels, which is essential to effectively analyze the total opportunity for flavors and ingredients in food and drink.
Despite being defined as a so-called emerging market, Asia Pacific has overtaken Western Europe and North America to become the largest market for food and drink globally in value and volume terms. In fact, Asia Pacific now accounts for one-third of all expenditures on food and drink, making the region the powerhouse of the global food and drink industry, driving value and growth.
Today, the market for food and drink in Asia Pacific, which includes China and India, has reached $2,630 billion. While the market for food and drink in Central and South America is much smaller, valued at $739 billion, it has been growing rapidly, as has the Middle East and Africa, where expenditure on food and drink has reached $459 billion.

Migration research seems to suggest that mobility creates economic welfare. The puzzle then is why do we have not more global migration than we observe. One explanation is the existence of borders, either legal, cultural or ethnic constraints, others are limits generated by geography or are simply walls and fences build by humans. Behind the creation of such borders are either humanitarian, military, security or economic arguments. However, migration research also suggests that hindering free mobility creates a larger stock of migrants and delays cultural assimilation, typically the opposite of what those want who propose those borders. Examining the existence of walls and fences around the world, the presentation discusses first this background. It then analyses the rise of walls and fences in the last decades which seem to be at odds with economic rationale and provides a historical perspective and understanding.

OIAF 2017 Poster!
By Mike Valiquette on March 24, 2017
Here's the info provided by Kelly Neal via Facebook:
The 2017 poster is here!
The stunning new poster was created by Montreal-based animator Elise Simard, a film director who has contributed visual signatures and handmade special effects for documentary features and animated shorts. For the past 10 years she has been expanding her body of work through experimental and exploratory filmmaking – her favorite subjects being the ordinary, the sublime, and the imperceptible affairs of our human states.
Elise explains the poster:
"I wanted to create an image about the ecstasy of watching a film you are falling for – the feeling you get the moment you realize you are in for a treat, as you sit back and let your guard down. I wanted to create an image to honor the inspiring weird and beautiful films I see every year at the Ottawa International Animation Festival."
Mike Magnan March 26, 2017
Fun Poster. Kudos!

HomeSportsThe Death of the Diva Receiver
The Death of the Diva Receiver
September 7, 2012 Sports
By C. Patterson
Homer Jones. Remember the name? Well if you don't let me refresh your memory. In 1965 as a New York football Giant he scored a touchdown and expressed his jubilation by taking the ball and "spiking" it into the ground. This was the first time that type of celebration for the seemingly trivial achievement of reaching the end zone was recorded. A simple spike. Upon that inspiration, University of Houston's Elmo Wright "high-stepped" into the end zone and Atlanta Falcon Billy "White Shoes" Johnson shook his tail feather after touchdowns and who could forget the famous "Ickey Shuffle." It was just a spike, but it would pave the way for jumping high-fives, dance parties, cell phone calls, Sharpies and sombreros. A spike changed the landscape of not just professional football but every place that a football could be caught: college, high school, Pop Warner, all the way down to the sand lot. I blame Homer. Chad is Homer's fault. Randy is Homer's fault. Terrell is Homer's fault. Plaxico…well Homer never shot himself at a nightclub, but he's Homer's fault too. That spike turned players into entertainers and receivers caught the acting bug worst of all. But when your box office goes from blockbuster to bust, some of the most dramatic personas in the league meet Shakespearian ends.
No one in the San Francisco front office cared about Terrell Owens' Sharpie sock-stuffing antics when he was the most dynamic receiver in the game. But once his numbers no longer matched his ego the NFL, fans, even baby mamas turned their backs on one of the most talented stars. He's pom pom dances were replaced with sessions with Dr. Phil. Before he landed in a new bird's nest with the Seahawks, T.O. had to slum it in Allen, Texas and just when he thought his story would have a happy ending he was spinning ninja kicked right out of Seattle due to poor performance. His ability has betrayed him. Gone were the days of supremacy, heck he would be grateful for the days of mediocrity. In his journey to rediscover himself he found a broken ex-reality star man-child that lacked the sufficient talent to perform even to the Seahawks standards. I blame Homer.
Then there is the tale of Plaxico the Dimwitted. Once upon a time there was a receiver from the land of Norfolk, who in machismo his ego was thoroughly soaked. He went from Super Bowl to 20 months in the hole thus going from balling to broke. Mr. Burress has achieved much in his 35 short years on this planet; he has achieved success on both the collegiate and professional levels. He has signed his John Hancock on a $25 million contract. And he has caught a game-winning touchdown pass in Super Bowl XLII (although he didn't spike it). Yes Plaxico was mighty indeed. Then the outspoken receiver, who squabbled over the insult that he was only being paid a measly $3.25 million per season, decided the top was too high and wanted to see what the view from rock bottom looked like. The Giants released him in 2009 following him shooting himself in the right thigh after accidently discharging his Glock, which he was holding securely in his sweatpants. Burress then spent some time at the lovely Oneida Correctional Facility. Unabashed, Burress made a initially triumphant return to the NFL in 2011 with the New York Jets even grabbing The Sporting News Comeback Player of the Year award. But alas on his hunt for the fountain of loot, Plaxico has found himself without a job for the upcoming season although he has expressed a want to play in Philadelphia with his friend Michael Vick. Perhaps if that touchdown catch in 1965 had remained in the hands of Jones instead of being propelled at the grass little Plaxico may still be gainfully employed. Damn you Homer.
Last but certainly not least we have the case of the Outstandingly Outrageous Occurrences of Ochocinco. Chad Johnson has taken one of the biggest swan dives of descent into the shards of glass filled valley of shame in recent memory. In less than two weeks Johnson's life took a rally car-like turn right off a cliff. It wasn't that long ago that Chad was just your run of the mill African American sideline sombrero-wearing receiver in Cincinnati who changed his last name to a broken Spanish derivative of his jersey number. He was talented, he was entertaining, he river-danced in the end zone and he delivered…at least for a while he did. Then the limelight proved to be too addictive and Ocho found himself on Dancing with the Stars. But when his stats dried up so did his welcome. The once celebrated wide out due to his explosive life off the field is unemployed and disgraced. A tragic character of Hamlet proportions. Fame was his undoing. Ironic isn't it that people always said that his big head would get him into trouble. They could have never imagined it would have been like this. Would things have turned out this way if Homer would have just went back to the sidelines? Hope you're happy Homer.

Ford Foundation Drives Mission-Related Investment with $1B Commitment
Published 2 years ago. About a 4 minute read.
The Ford Foundation announced today that it is committing up to $1 billion from its $12 billion endowment over the next 10 years to mission-related investing (MRIs). The commitment is one of the largest ever made to MRIs, and the largest by a private foundation. The move sends a signal to other foundation and institutional investors that the time has come to consider the potential of impact investing.
Using a deliberate and phased approach, the foundation will gradually carve out funds from its existing investment portfolio and deploy them over time into funds seeking to both earn financial returns but also concrete social returns. Initial investments will focus on areas where the foundation has deep prior experience and sees both significant investment opportunity and alignment with its mission to reduce poverty and injustice. Two initial areas of focus are affordable housing in the United States and access to financial services in emerging markets.
"We are making this commitment because we believe MRIs have the potential to become the next great innovation for advancing social good," said Darren Walker, president of the Ford Foundation. "We need to expand our imaginations and our tools if we want to tackle the large-scale problems facing the world today. We can't neglect the tremendous power of markets, including the capital markets, to contribute — and with today's announcement, we are putting a significant amount of our money where our mission is."
New Types
SB'17 Detroit
Over the years, the Ford Foundation's grants — drawn entirely from returns on its endowment — have helped drive social change through microfinance, public-private partnerships in cities, legal aid, public broadcasting and social movements such as the civil rights and women's movements, the fight against apartheid in South Africa and the protection of human rights dissidents and defenders in Latin America in the 1970s and the Soviet Union in the 1980s.
In 1968, the Foundation also pioneered program-related investments (PRIs) — a programmatic tool that allowed foundations to offer not only grants but also low interest loans and equity investments to catalyze social impact in market-related arenas such as urban development, homeownership, microfinance, certification models to guide responsible consumer choices, and other fields. The foundation's success in managing more than $650 million in PRIs over the years encouraged it to consider the next step: mission-related investments directly from its endowment.
Xavier de Souza Briggs, Vice President for the Foundation's Economic Opportunity and Markets program, will be responsible for overseeing a team of investment professionals dedicated to managing the MRIs. He said capital will be allocated to impact funds, not to individual companies.
"No matter the investment, our choices will be an extension of our history of seeking the most innovative ways to promote a more inclusive economy," said Briggs. "We are applying what we have learned from PRIs to inform the way we approach mission-related investing. The result, we hope, is to expand and diversify the market for MRIs so that it becomes easier for other institutional investors to invest in ways that consider social impact."
The Ford Foundation follows in the footsteps of peer organizations that have helped to pioneer the movement of directing endowment assets to impact investments. The evolution of impact investing, including measurement frameworks and the growth of impact-oriented funds, have made this step much easier for the foundation to make and for others to consider. As the foundation launches its mission-related investing, one key objective is to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion within the investment movement, paying attention to the makeup of investment teams, as well as where they invest and with what values.
"My conviction is that this moment offers us an opportunity to be accelerators of justice. And my hope is that, before long, many more foundations will find ways to tap into the power of their own endowments," said Walker.
The foundation said it would make results and learnings from its MRI program transparent in order to help the marketplace advance and mature. As part of that larger goal, the foundation will continue to make programmatic grants that enrich the evidence base and market standards for impact investing.

Q: Google play store ---This Item is Not available in your country
I am an Android developer I just uploaded an app in Android market according to client requirement i can download the app  and install it but my client cannot download the app it just pops the message like "This item is not available in your country" but i selected all countries while uploading the app,i Surfed internet but i found solution to root phone or to install any software is there any other solution which could help me

A: Some years late to the party, and Android Market has since been renamed to Google Play Store, still:
There's no need for a rooted phone.
Your client should find the appropriate app settings for the Google Play Store (or Android Market) app, and choose Force Stop.  When next run, your client's Play Store app will retrieve account settings from a server, rather than using some cached value, and your app should install cleanly after that.

A: Google Play support says:

*

*You can only change your Play country once per year.

*When you change your country, you won't be able to use your Google Play balance that you have in your old country in your new country.

So, avoid Google Play and use another market app. I suggest either:

*

*APKPure

*Aptiode
Both allow auto-updating apps.

Kodak Is Launching a Cryptocurrency for Photographers
By nextgencoin 10.01.2018
Leave a Comment on Kodak Is Launching a Cryptocurrency for Photographers
U.S. technology firm Kodak has announced that it will launch its own cryptocurrency, with plans to host an initial coin offering (ICO) at the end of January.
In an official announcement, Kodak said the cryptocurrency would underpin "an encrypted, digital ledger of rights ownership for photographers." Kodak is working with a company called WENN Digital on the initiative.
The idea is that photographers could use Kodak's forthcoming blockchain to register works, with "KODAKCoin" functioning as a medium of exchange on the platform. Users can receive payment in the cryptocurrency as well as pay for rights, according to the company.
The unveiling marks the first time Kodak has revealed its interest in the technology. The company is perhaps best known for its photography-related products, though a bankruptcy and subsequent recovery in 2013 led the firm to focus more actively on printing and digital film.
Kodak CEO Jeff Clarke said in a statement:
"For many in the tech industry, 'blockchain' and 'cryptocurrency' are hot buzzwords, but for photographers who've long struggled to assert control over their work and how it's used, these buzzwords are the keys to solving what felt like an unsolvable problem. Kodak has always sought to democratize photography and make licensing fair to artists. These technologies give the photography community an innovative and easy way to do just that."
It's not clear at this time how much Kodak intends to seek through the ICO, but the company said that the token sale – set for Jan. 31 – will be open to accredited investors from countries including the U.S. and Canada.
"This initial Coin Offering is issued under SEC guidelines as a security token under Regulation 506 (c) as an exempt offering," Kodak said.
Market data suggests that, at the very least, Kodak is enjoying a bit of an investor windfall as a result of its announcement. As of press time, shares for Kodak are up roughly 37 percent for the day, having risen from an opening of $3.10 to as high as $5.50 before settling down around $4.30, according to Google data.

The On-Demand Economy
Ronnie Neville, Partner, and Lynda Nyhan, Associate, on our Employment Law and Benefits team, recently published an article on the gig economy. The article appeared in 'The On-Demand Economy' prepared by The International Bar Association Global Employment Institute.
Nature of relationships
The ODE in Ireland is much less developed than in some other jurisdictions. In Ireland, there is no 'other' category to describe on-demand workers; they are either employees or independent contractors. If a worker is needed on an on-demand basis, this will be referred to as an 'if-and-when' contract, which is used to describe the relationship between an employer and an on-demand worker. However, in all cases the worker will either be employed or engaged as a contractor for the specific period required.
The Competition (Amendment) Act 2017 has been enacted to end the application of competition law restrictions to collective bargaining by self-employed contractors. This has been achieved by providing that certain categories of workers will no longer be considered as 'undertakings'. Accordingly, self-employed workers are now subject to fewer restrictions from a competition law perspective.
Separately, the Employment (Miscellaneous Provision) Act 2018 commenced on 4 March 2019 and protects workers who are working shorter hours or who are lower paid. Specifically, this legislation aims to:
• ensure that workers are better informed about the nature of their employment arrangements and in particular their basic terms at an early stage of their employment
• strengthen the provisions around minimum payments to low-paid, vulnerable workers who may be called in to work but not provided with work during that period
• prohibit zero-hours contracts, except in cases of genuine casual work or emergency cover or short-term relief work for that employer
• ensure that workers on low-hour contracts, who consistently work more hours each week than provided for in their contracts of employment, are entitled to be placed in a band of hours that reflects the reality of the hours they have worked over an extended period and
• strengthen 'anti-victimisation' provisions (bullying, harassment and so on) for employees who try to invoke a right under these provisions
Discrimination claims
Equality law in Ireland covers both employees and independent contractors. All workers, however classified, enjoy full protection against discrimination in the workplace. Undoubtedly, fewer contractors bring discrimination claims, probably because of a lack of awareness.
Termination claims
Termination claims for ODE workers are a grey area in Irish employment law. In relation to on-demand workers hired as employees (effectively for fixed-term contracts), because there is no mutuality of obligations in an on-demand worker relationship, it can be that there is no obligation to provide work or 54 IBA Global Employment Institute indeed for the on-demand worker to accept work, in between the periods of work. However, a third party may determine that an employment relationship does exist, for example, if there has been a consistent pattern of re-employment. Clearly, the on-demand worker is employed for the duration of the contract, and so the employee is protected under Irish employment law for that duration.
The key question will be whether the periods in between (or gaps in) employment should still count towards an on-demand workers' continuous service or whether they terminate at the end of every employment until subsequently re-employed. Some adjudicators may be willing to count the periods in between contracts, which may give rise to employment rights such as unfair dismissal (after a year of service), or statutory redundancy (after two years' service). This may lead to the perverse situation that it may be less attractive to engage an ODE worker than an employee.
A further issue involves the risk that an on-demand worker engaged as a self-employed contractor may be reclassified as an employee, if the features of the relationship warrant such a reclassification.
In terms of protections for the employer or client, the employer/client can put in place various measures to reduce (but not eliminate) the aforementioned risks. For example, for self-employed contractors, although one of the main tests will be 'substance over form', the contract wording is important. Also, 'clients' can put in place measures to reduce the risk of a de facto employee claim. For on-demand workers with employment contracts, an employer should keep the duration of all combined periods of employment to under one year and issue a P45 (a form regarding the details of an employee leaving the work) at the end of the last assignment.
Health and safety and liability issues
In relation to vicarious liability, an employer is likely to be vicariously liable for the actions of an on-demand worker (either employed or independent contractor). However, the client can secure an indemnity for liability incurred for the duration of the contract from any on-demand worker who is a contractor.
Health and safety laws apply to both on-demand contractors and employees. However, there are more rigorous legislative requirements for an employer of an on-demand employee than of a client of an on-demand independent contractor.
There is no worker compensation in Ireland. In the event of injury of an on-demand worker, the worker can pursue a claim under common law or statute against the negligent party, who might be the employer/client/third party.
IP protection and confidentiality
At common law, an on-demand employee owes a duty of confidentiality to the employer. However, a lesser duty arises for an on-demand independent contractor. For both on-demand employees and contractors, there is no protection for confidentiality post-employment/post-engagement, unless expressly provided for in the contract or a related agreement.
Similarly, at common law, IP vests in the employer of an on-demand employee. Conversely, IP does not automatically vest in the client in an on-demand independent contractor situation. It is therefore recommended that the contract should expressly set out what confidentiality and IP provisions the company wishes to protect. For both the on-demand employee and contractor, there is no protection for IP post-employment/post-engagement, unless provided for in the contract.
Social security and tax issues
In terms of social security, an employer that hires an on-demand employee must deduct at source all relevant social security of the employee. There is no flexibility in this regard. However, an on- demand contractor is liable to pay all of their own social security contributions.
In relation to tax, the employer that hires an on-demand employee must also deduct all relevant tax at source with respect to amounts payable to the employee. There is no flexibility regarding these obligations. However, tax liabilities fall on an on-demand contractor to pay. The client may request an indemnity to this effect from the on-demand independent contractor.
If an on-demand independent contractor has been incorrectly classified when in actual fact they are a de facto on-demand employee, they may be subsequently reclassified as an employee and the employer will be liable for any underpayment of tax/social security liabilities and penalties.
Market trends and emerging issues
Traditional employers have always used 'seasonal' workers. These workers are effectively on temporary part-time or full-time contracts for a period of time and are very popular within the retail, hospitality and restaurant and pub sector. In the hotel sector, for example, a hotel can determine whether it requires staff, depending on the demand of customers throughout the week.
With the rise of the ODE, there has been a move away from consistent seasonal staff, whereby the client/ employer engages in a much looser arrangement with on-demand workers. An important consequence of this is greater negative publicity towards perceived abuses of the on-demand worker. Many on-demand workers are given consistently low hours over many years and may never have security of tenure.
Companies using the on-demand worker model benefit from greater flexibility and are seen to be modern or forward-thinking by exploring new ways of working. For on-demand workers providing professional services, negative perceptions are less likely than for employers engaging on-demand workers on a minimum wage, which are increasingly viewed negatively and met with scepticism.
It is mostly technology companies that are seen as important users of on-demand workers, because it is they who currently attract scrutiny in the news. Technology companies view their relationship with the workers as being with a self-employed person that uses their platform to engage in their own employment. The platforms are, in their opinion, a service provider as opposed to an employer.
Traditional companies that have tended to veer towards seasonal staff and thus create an employee/ employer relationship are, however, seeing and understanding the options and benefits relating to on-demand workers, and are increasingly engaging them. As the use of on-demand workers has become much more prevalent, we anticipate changes to the legal system, to protect on-demand workers in general, regardless of sector. That being said, the Uber model is somewhat unique and may be treated differently and result in sector-specific, new legislation.

Iran state news agency says new virus has killed 2 citizens
TEHRAN – The new virus has killed two elderly Iranian citizens, Iran's state-run IRNA news agency reported Wednesday.
IRNA quoted Alireza Vahabzadeh, an adviser to the country's health minister, as saying that both victims had been carrying the coronavirus and were located in Qom, about 140 kilometers (86 miles) south of the capital Tehran.
The state news agency said later that schools and universities in Qom would be closed so an investigation could take place. No additional details were released.
Earlier on Wednesday, Iranian authorities confirmed two cases of the new virus, the first in the country, according to the semi-official ISNA news agency. Officials later said the two patients had died.
ISNA quoted an official in the country's health ministry, Kiyanoush Jahanpour, as saying that "since last two days, some suspected cases of the new coronavirus were found."
The virus causes the illness that the World Health Organization recently named COVID-19, referring to its origin late last year and the coronavirus that causes it.
The new virus emerged in China in December. Since then, more than 75,000 people have been infected globally, with more than 2,000 deaths being reported, mostly in China.
The new virus comes from a large family of what are known as coronaviruses, some causing nothing worse than a cold. It causes cold- and flu-like symptoms, including cough and fever, and in more severe cases, shortness of breath. It can worsen to pneumonia, which can be fatal.
First detected in China, the virus is believed to have originated in a type of wild animal sold at a Chinese market to be consumed as food.
Iran has applied safety measure on arrival flights at its airports to control a possible spread of the virus.
Elsewhere in the Middle East, nine cases have been confirmed in the United Arab Emirates, seven of them Chinese nationals, one Indian and one Filipino, while Egypt's Health Ministry confirmed its first case last Friday.
Egypt's Health Ministry only identified its sole case as a foreigner who is carrying the virus but not showing any serious symptoms. The ministry said the person was hospitalized and in isolation. It did not specify the person's nationality or what port of entry he or she arrived at in Egypt.
The case in Egypt was also the first on the African continent. Experts and African leaders have expressed concern that should the virus spread there, it might wreak havoc among less developed countries with fewer health resources.
This story has been corrected to show that of the nine cases confirmed in the United Arab Emirates, not all are Chinese; seven are Chinese nationals, one is Indian and one is Filipino.

As this year unfolds, we reflect on one of the busiest periods in our studios where new work has been completed to fulfil exhibition commitments, the Hale School print commission has taken off and an exciting sculpture and painting commission has fired us all into an ongoing creative period of making art.
A new development and refurbishment of the old Bunbury Silos is the latest creative task for Leon and his talented studio assistants.
A number of sculptural hangings designed to fill areas of voids in the building are being created in the studios. Other paintings offering a blend of historical references and painting are underway for public spaces in designated areas. With Leon's passion for history and his artistic talents, this combination is a perfect recipe for an inspired series of works.
A deadline of 1st December has us all working intently.
This year, to date, we have had a very successful exhibition at The Stafford Studios in Cottesloe during August where Alan Dodge, recently retired Director of the Western Australian Art Gallery, opened the exhibition with his inimitable humour and thoughtful comments. A great show and many thanks to Marlene and her enthusiastic staff.
The Washhouse Gallery in Rozelle, Sydney opened on 25th September with our son Damien and daughter Nia showing the flag on behalf of their absent parents. Leon's Sydney agent Helen Turpin has worked tirelessly in organising and hanging the works and we are excited at the opportunity provided by a new gallery in a new location.
Still to come in October is the exhibition in Tambourine, Queensland with the dynamic duo of Mary and Janene in the delightful secret garden of the Marks and Gardner Gallery.
The Hale School Print has been an amazing journey. This commission is the largest single print commission in Australia and one of the fastest selling prints in our history. "From Humble Beginnings" was launched in April and at this point over three quarters of the edition of 150 has sold. Enquiries for this can be directed to Judy Greaney at Hale School.
In the small village of Lussac les Eglises, where we stayed with our muso friends, we found the charm and delight, typical of so many French villages where we could walk to the local patisserie daily, join friends and others in the small café and especially during the period of our stay, marvel in the music of a small quintet as they performed twice in the local church to an audience enchanted and amazed by their music. The exhibition of local artists (+ Leon Pericles) held at the same time provided a well rounded artistic experience for those who visited from the region. The temptation of the seductive lifestyle was all the more powerful with the rather affordable price of property in the Limousin. Trips to Limoges (Ceramics & Enamelling), Aubusson (Tapestries) and other villages were fascinating. At St. Leonard du Got, a fascinating ancient paper mill is again making beautiful papers by hand. A guided tour took us through the history of the mill and the process involved.
In Oxford, Leon could be found fossicking in old book shops, The Ashmolean Museum and Print Room and other fascinating libraries and local and university institutions of interest. He was on a mission to find a comprehensive visual documentation of the Oxfordshire Landowners' crests. Inspiration comes in many guises!
Not to mention the beautiful landscape of North Cornwall where port villages cling to the coastline like tenacious mussels to the rocks. Regions rich in history such as these continue to inspire and captivate with stories of hardship, courage and survival.
We wait with anticipation to see how this inspiration will manifest itself in a visual form.
A few months ago, Prue Giagtzis joined our team as a part time picture framer. She job shares with Peter Blake who imparts his wisdom and depth of experience in assisting Prue as she settles into this job. They make a great team and their attention to detail in their work is second to none.
12 years ago Elly Joel, then a young Curtin Art Graduate worked in our Mt. Lawley studios for a few years before moving into the fashion world and living in the East. Now back in Perth, she has joined us to assist with the commissioned work.
On a personal note, we are very excited about the return to Perth of our son Damien, his wife Jasmin and their beautiful daughter Linnéa now aged 1. Damien is moving with the Landscape Architecture company he works for in Sydney (EDAW) as they open a new office in Perth. We look forward to their return!
We have updated our web images and you will find a selection of new paintings and prints in their relevant categories on this site.

In the eye of NY's coronavirus storm, ultra-Orthodox face rising anti-Semitism
Coronavirus: The truth about Israel's ventilators
Bennett urges quick end to lockdown, noting harm of 'massive distress' to public
Navigating through the adjoining New York State towns of Spring Valley and Monsey, ultra-Orthodox community advocate Rivkie Feiner narrated her drive via telephone to The Times of Israel, emphasizing the towns' empty streets. For her, it's certain proof that citizens are practicing social distancing in heavily ultra-Orthodox Rockland County.
"It's a ghost town," she told The Times of Israel. "The synagogue has been closed, the school has been closed. The stores, the shoe store, the grocery stores. It's like Shabbos all the time. It's very eerie — it's very scary. Everything should be hustling and bustling."
Rockland County is home to about 90,000 Haredi — or ultra-Orthodox — Jews, many of them Hasidim. Located about an hour's drive from New York City, "the county has the largest Jewish population per capita of any US county, with 31.4%… being Jewish," according to the New York State official website.
As Feiner drove she spoke about the impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on both her hometown of Monsey and ultra-Orthodox communities across the state.
With over 66,000 cases and 1,342 deaths reported as of this writing, New York State is now considered the epicenter of the coronavirus in the US. As it spreads across the state, the virus has hit religious communities particularly hard; as of March 30, Rockland County had reported more than 2,500 cases.
After several news stories emerged about large ultra-Orthodox gatherings despite strict social distancing guidelines, as well as reports of coronavirus clusters in places such as the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, which reported nearly 300 cases last week, communities faced increased scrutiny and were blamed for spreading the virus.
In New Jersey an Ocean County Fire Marshal posted to social media calling Jews "trash" and "dirty ones," and said the highly ultra-Orthodox town of Lakewood should be turned into "a hole in [the] ground." A Toyota dealership in Rockland County accused a visibly Orthodox Jewish man of spreading the virus and refused him service. In another separate incident a Lakewood man was arrested for making terrorist threats against Jewish residents.
But stories and videos of large ultra-Orthodox gatherings don't reveal the full picture, said several religious community members and leaders. They claimed that news about the pandemic is being properly disseminated and the majority of people are following guidelines.
"There was initially a lot of confusion about what to do, but people are getting the message. More people have WhatsApp and Twitter than you think," Feiner said, referring to the fact that internet use is often monitored or avoided altogether in the devout communities.
"There are also robocalls and people sharing texts," Feiner said. Among the media channels the community turns to are Agudath Israel and Yeshiva World News, she said.
"And, it's sad to say, but the number of deaths has also gotten the message through," Feiner said. "Everybody knows someone who is sick, or at least knows someone through six degrees of separation."
Trickle-down messaging
With the empty streets, it now appears the message to stay home has hit home — for the most part. There are still incidents where people aren't complying with social distancing.
On March 30, Josef Neumann, who died from injuries sustained in an anti-Semitic mass stabbing attack perpetrated in Monsey this past December, was buried at the Viznitz Cemetery in Spring Valley. While many mourners stood on the periphery and practiced social distancing, dozens of men were filmed standing shoulder to shoulder near his coffin.
The insular Satmar Hasidic community residing in Kiryas Joel, located 55 miles north of New York City, was also slow to implement the state's social distancing guidelines. Just last week its leaders closed all schools, synagogues and mikvahs, or ritual baths.
Organizations such as Agudath Israel of America, an Orthodox Jewish umbrella organization that advocates for religious and civil rights, continue to stress the message that people must adopt healthcare guidelines, said Leah Zagelbaum, Agudath Israel's vice president for media affairs.
The organization has amplified public service announcements over social media, including from the head of Agudath Israel Rabbi Yaakov Perlow, also known as the Novominsker Rebbe, as well as New York State Assembly Member Simcha Eichenstein, who sent a message to his constituents in Borough Park and parts of Midwood to stay home and save lives.
Additionally, a wide range of organizations signed onto a March 20 joint statement put together by the Agudath Israel, including the Orthodox Union, Young Israel movement, and Rabbinical Council of America — some of the country's largest Orthodox groups.
For those who completely shun social media there are telephone news hotlines as well as vehicles circulating the neighborhoods with loudspeakers, said Zagelbaum.
"For the most part, it's working," Zagelbaum said. "I'm aware of a few holdout minyanim [prayer quorums] that took place last week, and quite a few impromptu groups that held services at great physical distance in streets or yards, but that seems to have been part of a winding down process."
Thinking global, acting local
Before the coronavirus outbreak, weddings often drew 400 to 500 people. Now they are held in backyards and parking lots, with extended family joining in via Zoom. In another neighborhood an invitation went around for a shalom zachor, or gathering to welcome a baby boy. It's traditionally celebrated Friday night with beer and chickpeas. Only now, with social distancing, the new father sent around beer and chickpeas in individual packets so his family and friends could mark the occasion in their own homes.
In some neighborhoods, people are now praying alone on their individual porches, but because everyone is on their porch at the same time there is a sense of togetherness, said Abby Stein, who was born and raised in the Hasidic community of Williamsburg.
Stein said that right now "even the most skeptical people believe" in the need for social distancing. "You get some fringe people who are defying guidelines, like in any group of people, but most people in the Hasidic community are listening to the rules."
Although Stein, author of "Becoming Eve: My Journey from ultra-Orthodox Rabbi to Transgender Woman," left the community several years ago, she remains in contact with some family members. In recent conversations they told her people who initially ignored social distancing guidelines, especially during the Purim holiday, are now following the regulations.
Rabbi Aaron Raskin of Congregation B'nai Avraham told The Times of Israel that his Chabad community in Brooklyn Heights has found new and innovative ways to remain connected even while apart. Some use Zoom for Torah classes, others for more somber occasions such as condolence calls.
From the frontlines of anti-Semitism
As religious communities navigate the changing social fabric of daily life they are also contending with rising anti-Semitism directly tied to the coronavirus outbreak.
"This period of unfortunate darkness can give us an opportunity to overlook our individual problems and look at the world on a global level, so we can unite for a greater good," Raskin said.
In the Brooklyn neighborhood of Crown Heights that means the Kamin Health Urgent Care stays open in spite of a skeleton staff, said Yosef Hershkop, the center's regional manager.
He added that the Chevra Kadisha, or religious burial society, is working to accommodate every family despite an impending shortage of personal protection equipment. And, Hershkop said, the Gedaliah Society, a network of Chabad men and women in healthcare fields, continues to put out notifications urging the community to stay vigilant and continue social distancing.
"I'm very proud of my community. I'd say 98 to 99 percent of people are listening," Hershkop said.

Member Rating will take into account both buying and selling activity, adherence to order confirmation policies, and management of open postings designed to reduce seller revisions and cancellations. Revisions and cancellations cause disruption to buying members and their patients. MatchRX is taking steps to help minimize these disruptions, including the lowering of a members rating and possible financial penalty. Remember, members are purchasing to fill a patient script. Revisions and cancellations have a direct impact on the quality of service provided to their patients.
What can you do TODAY to ensure a high Member Rating when MatchRX 3.0 launches?
Keep your open postings up to date to avoid revisions and cancellations.
While packing your order, double check the NDC, lot number, expiration date, and quantity ordered to make sure it matches the packing slip.
Pack items properly to ensure they arrive in good shape.
Avoid canceling any orders that have not been revised by the seller.
Confirm orders within two (2) business days of receipt.

Para Sports Foundation is a Social Voluntary Organization involved in organise and promote of Para Sports for the people with disabilities in Delhi. The Center aims of importing quality training in Para Sports for the student and adult with disabilities and promoted at reach of girls from facilities with limited means training center us production oriented and the last machinery and equipment. Para Sports are likely to be recognized by the Government.
In most developing countries, people with disabilities are the largest minority group. As a group they are starved of services and facilities available to the non- disabled and, consequently, are the least nourished, the least healthy, the least educated, the least employed. They are subject to a long history of neglect, isolation, segregation, poverty, deprivation, charity and even pity.
Children with disability get harsh treatment with the constant allegation of being a liability. They are viewed with prejudice and are considered incapable and a drain on family resources. These attitudinal barriers are the most difficult ones to remove. The image of children with disability itself has a disabling image leading to lack of self confidence and limited social participation.
