Minority Communities in Israel: Table of Contents|Israeli Arabs|Ethiopian Jews
Israel's Bedouin citizens – a minority within the Arab minority – have in recent years received increased attention, both from the media and from government institutions.
The process of integrating the Bedouin into Israeli society takes place on two levels – the formal or by government policy; and the informal, by changing relationships with Israeli society in general and Jewish society in particular.
The process, as may be expected, is fraught with "natural" difficulties experienced by this cultural group:
the transition from a traditional, conservative society which only two generations ago was nomadic, entails relinquishing values, customs and a traditional economy;
the Bedouin have to cope with the process of urbanization – the very antithesis of their nomadic tradition – and the attending poverty and crime rate;
the Bedouin to some extent fail to distinguish between objective difficulties and those connected with their changing sub-culture and thus feel an exaggerated sense of deprivation.
Yet a comparison of the situation of the Bedouin in Israel to that in Arab countries will show that Israeli Bedouin enjoy conditions that their brethren lack, mainly in two areas: welfare and land ownership.
Israel's attitude towards its Bedouin citizens has generally always been positive. Well aware of the difficulties of the Bedouin and based on a thorough knowledge of the subject, recent governments have begun taking steps to solve the problems with unprecedented determination and allocation of the necessary funds.
In January 2013, the Israeli government created a policy designed to solve a range of problems affecting Israel's Bedouin population. This January 2013 plan, named after then-minister Ze'ev Binyamin Begin, was created to enhance and expand technological and adult education, develop industrial centers, establish employment guidance centers, assist in bolstering Bedouin local governments, and improve transportation systems, centers of excellence for students and support for Bedouin women who want to work or even begin their own businesses.
The first Bedouin high-tech company in Israel, Sadel Technologies, was cofounded by Ibrahim Sana, a Bedouion, and his two Arab-Israeli business partners. Sadeltech provides their clients with services including but not limited to: mobile app development, web application development and software quality assurance. Most of the employees at Sadeltech are Bedouins who have graduated from computer science programs at Israeli universities and have a tough time finding work; their first Jewish employee was hired in early 2016.
In 2020, the Foreign Ministry appointed Ishmael Khaldi as Israel's first Bedouin ambassador. He will represent the country in Eritrea.
IDF Service
Bedouin in the Negev
Bedouin in Central Israel
Bedouin in Northern Israel
The Bedouin population in Israel currently numbers 210,000 persons who live in all regions of the State, most notably in the Negev.
The Bedouin population has increased tenfold since the establishment of the State (1948), due to a high natural increase – about 5% – which is unparalleled in Israel, or elsewhere in the Middle East. A high fertility rate related to traditional social values regarding size of family and/or tribe as a political advantage, as well as modern health and medical services with easy access, which reduced infant mortality and increased life expectancy, are responsible for this figure.
More than anything else, education can contribute to the integration of the Bedouin into Israeli society. Under the Compulsory Education Law, every Bedouin child is entitled to twelve years of free education and the law is very strictly enforced, at least at the elementary school level. Three factors enhanced implementation: an awareness of the necessity and the benefits of an education as an economic and social-mobility tool; the idleness of children and youngsters in the wake of moving to permanent settlements (they had been the main labor force tending the fields and the livestock); and the establishment of a relatively large number of schools in the scattered locations of the Bedouin.
Within a single generation, the Bedouin of Israel have succeeded in reducing illiteracy from 95% to 25%; those still illiterate are aged 55 and above.
Thirty to fifty percent of the students in elementary schools (depending on location) go on to high school, a ratio similar to that elsewhere in the country's Arab sector. They attend Bedouin high schools in the Negev and Arab high schools in the central and northern regions of the country.
Some 650 Bedouin – 30% of the Bedouin high school graduates of 1998 – were enrolled as of 2002 in post-secondary education. About 60 percent of them attended teacher training colleges and 40 percent studied at the universities (including the Technological College of Be'er Sheva). In addition, 35 students enrolled in universities abroad, since they did not qualify for admission to Israeli institutions; the universities now tend to ease admission standards for Bedouin students.
The National Health Insurance Law (NHIL) which took effect on January 1, 1996 considerably improved health services for about 30% of the Bedouin population who had not belonged to a sick fund. According to the NHIL, every resident is entitled to a basket of health services provided by clinics, specialists and hospitals.
Mother-and-child care centers provide health education, check-ups monitoring development and immunization. Today, hardly any Bedouin women give birth at home; going to hospital makes the mother eligible for a grant from the National Insurance Institute and provides unaccustomed pampering.
Israel Defense Forces Service
Since 1948, Bedouins have served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in large numbers, mostly in scouting or tracking units. A Bedouin scouting unit was established in 1970 in the IDF's Southern Command, and similar units are now in other regions. In 1986 a desert-scouting unit was formed and has been stationed near the Gaza Strip more recently. There is a monument honoring Bedouin soldiers' contribution to Israel and its army in the Galilee. In 2003, the IDF formed several specialized "search & rescue" units to serve the residents of the Arab, Bedouin and Druze communities in Israel. Despite their integration into the IDF, Israel's Bedouin population remains largely unintegrated into the rest of Israeli society, something the Begin Plan aims to change.
The Bedouin in the Negev
Ninety percent of the Bedouin tribes in the Negev hail from the Hejaz, a region in the north of the Arabian peninsula. Ninety percent of the Negev's Bedouin population is located in the area between the cities of Beer Sheva, Arad, Dimona and Rahat.
Education: There are about 33 elementary schools, three high schools and three vocational schools for the Bedouin community in the Negev. At the elementary level, with an enrollment of 95%, the school population is made up of equal proportions of boys and girls. But because Bedouin society regards females as inferior and does not encourage them to study, girls make up no more than 10% of the pupils in high schools. At first many teachers had to be brought in from outside the community, today 60 percent of the teaching staff is Bedouin.
All the Bedouin high schools and 60% of the elementary schools in the Negev, are located in the seven Bedouin towns there. Over the past five years, extensive resources have been invested in schools, especially in buildings, services, water pipes, heating and more. Computers and laboratories have also been introduced.
Health: There are clinics in all seven Bedouin towns in the Negev (in Rahat, proclaimed a city in 1994, there are four clinics and a day-hospital). The medical staff includes Jews and Arabs; fifteen of them are Bedouin doctors. Most of the Bedouin living outside the towns can reach the clinics easily; in the more outlying areas, several mobile clinics provide services in the mornings.
A total of 12 clinics provide services in the Negev at present (one clinic per 6000 persons); another 10 clinics are in various stages of establishment. Hospital facilities are available in Be'er Sheva. If a gap still exists between health services in the rest of the country and in the Bedouin towns, it relates more to the physical domain than to the level of medicine.
Land Rights: In most countries in the Middle East the Bedouin have no land rights, only users' privileges. Israeli Law is derived largely from Mandatory (British) law which in turn incorporated much Ottoman law. Under Israeli law, a person who has not registered his/her land in the Land Registry cannot claim ownership; but in the mid 1970s Israel let the Negev Bedouin register their land claims and issued certificates as to the size of the tracts claimed. These certificates served as the basis for the "right of possession" later granted by the government. Following the signing of the Treaty of Peace with Egypt, it became necessary to move an airport to a locality inhabited by 5000 Bedouin. The government, recognizing these land claim certificates, negotiated with the certificate holders and paid compensation to them. Most moved to Bedouin townships, built houses and established businesses.
In recent years the Ministerial Committee for the Advancement of Bedouin Affairs has undertaken to solve the problem of land ownership and has been assured of the necessary funds. The government is willing to leave some 20% of the land claimed in Bedouin possession and to compensate them for the remainder. In the past, tensions relating to land ownership have led to violence. A solution is now possible, but it requires the willingness and goodwill of both partners.
Two kinds of land offenses make media headlines: illegal building and grazing in protected areas:
Illegal building: Tents and light structures (shacks and huts) built illegally are treated forgivingly. But construction of houses of stone or concrete without a building permit is considered an offense, since adequate infrastructure and services cannot be provided. Some 2,000 such locations with buildings already exist, scattered over an area of about 1,000 square kilometers.
Grazing in protected areas: Most of the livestock of the Bedouin in the Negev who keep flocks of sheep and goats are registered and approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, which provides pasture land outside the Negev for six to seven months of the year, since the carrying capacity of the Negev is limited. Owners who, for reasons of tax evasion, have not registered their livestock and do not receive Ministry of Agriculture services, frequently trespass on nature reserves or populated areas. They are liable to be punished under the law.
Permanent locations: The establishment of permanent towns did not begin until the Bedouin themselves constructed buildings to replace tents. But the urbanization process is by no means simple, as the planners have to deal with issues involving tradition and social structure and the Bedouin themselves have difficulty in articulating their wishes in planning terms.
The first Bedouin town, Tel Sheva, was founded in 1967. Here all possible mistakes were made, both by the planners and by government officials. Since then another six towns have been established in the Negev and an effort was made to learn from each previous experience. But the planning concept focused on urban settlement, while many Bedouin wanted to live in rural localities. Today there are plans to found such rural localities and it is hoped that they will satisfy the traditional aspirations of the Bedouin.
The Bedouin urban population in the Negev (1998)
Rahat 28,000
Tel Sheva 7,000
Aro'er 6,200
Keseifa 5,500
Segev Shalom 2,600
Hura 2,400
Lakiya 1,500
The total Bedouin population of the Negev is over 110,000, which means that about 57,000 are still scattered in outlying areas. It will be Israel's task in the near future, to solve, together with the Bedouin, the problems of their settlement in towns and rural communities.
Livelihood: The desire of about 30% of the Bedouin in the Negev to retain traditional occupations – the raising of livestock and dry farming – as a source of primary or additional income, causes them to seek pasture land, the supply of which is decreasing due to development and increased quantities of livestock. Given the arid conditions of the Negev, the government, though increasing quotas from time to time, providing veterinary services and refraining from the importation of mutton, must limit pasture land. This is at times depicted in the media as cruel, and the Bedouin as victims of high-handedness.
Other sources of livelihood are:
1. Thirty percent of the Bedouin in the Negev have permanent jobs (in factories, government services etc.).
2. A similar percentage of unskilled workers cannot obtain permanent jobs and they are the immediate victims when recession and unemployment strike. The National Insurance Law guarantees minimal income to the unemployed, the elderly, the disabled or ill and to orphans and widows.
3. In private enterprise: they have succeeded to capture three niches in which neither Jews nor Arabs compete (providing income to an estimated 25% of the population): as agricultural contractors with modern mechanical equipment; as owners of trucks, utility vehicles, buses and cabs, or as salaried employees of transportation companies; and as contractors for development work, involving the use of heavy mechanical equipment.
The Bedouin in Central Israel
No Bedouin lived in central Israel in 1948. The fact that 10,000 currently live in this region is the result of migration from the Negev, due to two main factors:
Pasture migration: In 1957 the Negev was struck by drought which lasted for six years. The military administration, responsible for the Negev Bedouin localities at the time, came to the aid of the owners of large herds who requested permission to move to State-owned pasture land in central Israel. This migration led to the establishment of dozens of Bedouin settlements from Kiryat Gat to Mount Carmel, which developed pleasant social and political relations with their Jewish neighbors. In 1977 the government decided that the Bedouin should return to the Negev. Those who had land in the Negev returned there, but the majority remained in Central Israel, because they had abundant pasture land and some of the family members had found jobs, especially in and around the major Jewish cities. In 1992 a new policy, under which they were offered additional rural localities, was adopted; but the process of settlement will undoubtedly last many years.
Labor migration: The second factor that led to the migration of Bedouin to central Israel was the search for work, especially by families that lacked land and livestock. This migration process, which lasted from 1954 to 1970, created Bedouin centers in the cities of Ramle and Lod and the villages of Taibe and Kafr Kassem; lesser numbers settled in other Arab villages. The migrants belonged to two socio-economic groups: those who had left behind land in the Negev and those (the majority) who had not. The latter obtained permanent jobs and income and had no intention of leaving. Most of those who had left land in the Negev returned there in 1980, when the government recognized land claim certificates (see above - Land rights).
In the cities: The Bedouin who moved to Central Israel adapted quickly to urban life, free as they were of the social and political pressure of the Negev Bedouin who opposed moving to the townships set up for them by the government. They moved into houses abandoned by Arabs who had fled the country during the War of Independence, or built shacks (such as the train-station section of Lod). The government is now planning housing projects, taking their traditional needs into consideration. Having become permanent residents and enjoying better national and municipal services, the Bedouin show much interest in both general and municipal politics. in these cities they have also developed special relations with the two dominant communities, the Arabs and new Jewish immigrants.
In the villages: Paradoxically, the Bedouin who migrated from the Negev to Arab villages were not able to create positive relations with the villagers, despite a common religion and language; they are, instead, considered foreign implants. In 1997 the Kafr Kassem Local Council published a leaflet criticizing their Bedouin neighbors, even demanding their eviction. The incompatibility between the Bedouin, who bought small plots of land for agriculture, and the villagers seems to be linked to the cultural-historical difference between farmers and desert dwellers. But like all Israeli citizens they enjoy education, health and welfare services, despite their claims of being discriminated against by the local authorities, especially in the separate neighborhoods that they have built for themselves in each village.
The Bedouin in Northern Israel
The Bedouin in Galilee and the Jezreel valley, numbering about 50,000, unlike those in the Negev and in the Central region, hail from the Syrian desert. At the beginning of the century their nomadic way of life and militancy put them in a position to harass villages and demand tribute, giving them a sense of superiority over the fellahin (farmers). During the British Mandate the Galilee Bedouin were encouraged to purchase small plots of land and such purchases were recorded in the Land Registry as legal possession.
Towards the end of the British Mandate and during the struggle for the establishment of the State of Israel, many Bedouin joined the Jewish forces, believing that the Jewish state would be generous to them. This also explains the continued good relations after the establishment of the State, as manifested, first and foremost, in volunteering for the security forces and serving on the front lines; volunteering is considered by the Bedouin to be part of their blood-pact with the State of Israel.
One example of the good relations between the State and the Bedouin in the North is the tolerance displayed by the government regarding violations of building laws, non-expropriation of land and the establishment of the townships of Beit Zarzir and Ka'abiya.
Whereas the Negev Bedouin are ambivalent in their attitude toward the State of Israel and their identification with it, the northern Bedouin identify with it almost fully. This is manifested, first and foremost, in the extent of volunteering for the security services. As a result, the Bedouin in the North are rewarded with a friendly attitude, both from the establishment and from Jewish society at large.

2life | 12 Surprising Baby Name Risings: Cindy? Bruce?
Certain comeback kids have been getting a lot of buzz lately—names like Elsa and Amelia and Elias and Tobias, all of which have that nice vintage 19th century vibe. But there's another group of names inching their way back that you might find a bit more surprising. Mostly midcentury mom and dad names, they are flouting the Hundred-Year Rule, returning way before their expected due dates.
Cindy—Yes, Cindy, as in the baby of the Brady Bunch. Cindy rose 82 places last year, rising from her lowest point in recent history. This pet form of Cynthia and Lucinda first came onto the list in 1938, and within 15 years had entered the Top 100, peaking at Number 19 in 1957 (representing more that 20,000 baby Cindys), very much in the Mindy, Stacey, Tracy, Randi, Ricki cheery cheerleader zeitgeist. So is this just a blip, or will we be seeing more baby Cindys?
Elaine—Elaine may date back to the days of Camelot, but to most of us it has more of an Elaine Benes image, and so I'm wondering what was behind its 105-place advance this year. Was she a beneficiary of the current love for all names El—from Ella to Elle toEloise to Elsa to Eliza? Ellen and Eileen, by the way, also saw significant gains.
Joyce—Joyce, which started life as a male name, saw a double-digit rise, its first upward movement in decades. It was in the girls' Top 100 for 43 years, topping at Number 11 for a couple of years in the thirties. It's now associated with writers of a certain age like Joyce Carol Oates and Joyce Maynard. Cousin Joy also saw a slight rise.
Lisa—Another name that once reached the top spot, reigning from 1962 to 1969, when this Elizabeth diminutive was given to around 50,00 baby girls in each of those years, Lisa had a fairly rapid fall. But now we're seeing some small signs of an uptick, indicating that the tide just may be turning. There are, of course, many prominent Lisas around, including the iconic Lisa Simpson.
Myra—A poetic invention of the 17th century, Myra was in the US Top 150 in the 1880s, started sliding in the 60s, fell off completely in 2004, then suddenly made a return in 2009, and this year moved up 135 places to Number 638. Could any of this be due to her minor role in the Divergent series? Or her resemblance to other 4-letter names with a y, like Lyla, Anya, Arya, Ayla, Maya, Nyla et al?
Bruce—Is Bruce back? He's now at his highest point since the mid-90s, just outside the Top 400. One of several Scottish names that were considered cool from the 40s to the 60s, such as Douglas and Craig and Keith, Bruce is the human name of two superheroes—Batman and The Hulk—and seems to have begun appealing again to parents seeking a single-syllable name with history, as also with Clyde and Clark.
Gary—Up 18 places this year, Gary managed to crack the Top 10 in the early 1950s (thanks to the enduring fame of Gary Cooper, stage-named after the Indiana city), but we can't quite see that happening again. Does this mean we'll also be seeing a return ofCary, Barry and Larry? Also rising: Gordon and Grant.
Harold—Harold, which rose almost 60 spots in 2014, had developed a dowdy image that contradicts its distinguished early royal history. A Top 20 name in 1900—he was the typical teen in the comic strip Harold Teen, Harold has been in freefall for a long time, almost dropping off completely. Current namers might be attracted by his cooler nicknames Harry and Hal. Howard, Hank and Hughare other H-boys gaining traction.
Jay—As May and Fay/e rise for girls, brother Jay is seeing a bit of an upturn as well, climbing 18 places last year. In the recent past,Jay was superseded by more elaborate forms: first Jason, and then Jayden, Jaylen et al. For the record, Jays Gatsby and Leno were born James, Jay-Z was Shawn.
Julius—Yes, it's an ancient Roman name attached to the greatest emperor of them all and to several popes, but Julius is also the guy who does your uncle's taxes, explaining why many more parents prefer the softer sounding Julian. On the other hand, Julius has caught the wave of ancient Latinate us-ending names, and has risen 38 places this year to a respectable Number 309. Lucy Lawless chose it for her boy and it's the son character on Happyish.
Russell—Russell was mega-popular in the 1950s and 60s, meaning that there are a lot of middle-aged Russes out there on the golf course. But after a deep dip, red-haired Russell is seeing a slight upturn, along with golfing partners Ronald and Roland.


Stop Talking About Your Ex All The Time!
So you are on a date with someone new. You are excited. You are nervous. You hope that this is finally going to be the one. You meet. So far, you both like what you see. This is going good. You start talking about personal interests. Then your date does it. Your date starts to talk about an ex...and it is not just a passing mention that is brief in nature.
Your date keeps talking about the ex, to the point where you decide that your date is likely still way too hooked on the ex to be emotionally available to be in a relationship with you. The date ends. You are disappointed because the search goes on to find a more suitable partner. Your date, that in fact, may be fully interested in seeing you again, is disappointed that you did not make any connection, and chances are, your date has no idea what he or she did to turn you off.
Talking constantly about an ex while on a date is a red flag. It is a turn off, because talking constantly about an ex is like resurrecting a ghost. When it comes to romantic endeavors, flesh and blood imperfect human beings simply cannot compete with the fantastical fantasy phantoms of someone's idealize past lover.
Those people who would be higher quality potential partners, likely have learned not to bother even trying to fight the ghosts and just walk away. When you are on a date, talk about the things you love and the values you embody, and leave your ex in the past.
Now, if the only meaningful life experiences you have to share are only associated with a particular ex, then take it as a sign that you need to stop waiting to have someone to try new things with, and head out on your own.
For example, if you love dancing but the only dancing stories you have are directly related to an ex, then consider going out dancing with friends, or even taking dance lessons by yourself so that you can meet new people. In this way, you explore your love of dancing, and can share stories about your love of dancing that will be separate from stories of your ex.
If you are still hooked on your ex, to the point where you will not give someone new a legitimate chance at your heart, at the very least be honest about it with the new person you are dating. When on a date, let the person know that you are recovering from a severely broken heart, BUT that should be the extent of any talk about the ex. This gives the other person the ability to make an informed choice for him or her self as to whether or not they want to continue trying with you.
Some people will be OK with it, and are just glad to have someone to spend time with and have some fun. Some people are looking for emotionally available people for a serious relationship and those people will bolt away fast. Some people are in exactly the same predicament as you and are thrilled that they are not alone in their misery, happy to have the company.
A date is NOT a time to be going into a therapeutic discussion. When you are on a date, focus on the person you are with and get to know that person and what role that person can play in your life (friend, lover, serious long term partner).
While you make getting to know the person a fun process, leave the discussions about your unresolved issues with the ex for when you come into the coach's office.

Samsung Takes the Lead to Help Emergency Services with Public Safety
Live demonstration of World's First 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP),
Release 12 Standard for a Public Safety – LTE Solution
Samsung Electronics today demonstrated live its Public Safety solution that uses LTE technology (PS-LTE) to support emergency services; it is the world's first solution based on the 3GPP Rel.12 standard.
The new standard was completed and released less than three months ago, in March 2015, but that was enough time for Samsung to demonstrate end-to-end services with newly developed base station, LTE Core, IMS Core, Application server and devices – underscoring the company's LTE technology leadership.
"The live demonstration of our PS-LTE solution is a significant achievement," said Youngky Kim, President and Head of Networks Business at Samsung Electronics. "It takes us one step closer to successfully participating and building the world's first nationwide Public Safety network with LTE Technology, and we are confident in accomplishing this thanks to our leading product portfolio and constant innovation."
The live demonstration, which was held at Samsung Electronics' Digital City in Suwon, South Korea, showed how Samsung's PS-LTE solution could be used during a real emergency situation. When an emergency situation occurs, Samsung's PS-LTE solution provides relevant parties with an optimal transmitting method, such as voice, multimedia Push-To-Talk (PTT) and video conference services.
Samsung's eMBMS technology successfully connected more than 80 devices and simultaneously transmitted HD video during the demonstration.
eMBMS technology multicasts and broadcasts content to a large number of subscribers simultaneously without delays or disconnection. It can vastly improve the number of devices that can stream live video of the field.
With eMBMS, there is also an opportunity to better utilize the available bandwidth, which is critical during massive disasters that require more than 1,000 personnel for the rescue mission, drawn from the full range of emergency services, such as fire fighters, police officers and medical professionals. Without eMBMS, only a dozen of devices can live stream the HD video in one cell, whereas eMBMS enables more than 1,000 devices.
As the leading contributor to the 3GPP PS-LTE standard, Samsung has supported the standardization of the device-to-device (D2D) and Group Communication System Enabler for LTE (GCSE LTE) specifications in Release 12.
With the Release 13 specification, Samsung aims to further cement its leadership with public safety related items such as Mission Critical Push-to-Talk (MCPTT), Isolated E-UTRAN Operation for Public Safety (IOPS), and enhanced device-to-device (eD2D) standardization.
Since February 2015, Samsung Electronics has taken a role as a vice chairman of SA6 (Service and System Aspect), which takes care of MCPTT (Mission Critical Push-To-Talk) Standardization.

Chicken Taco Soup is an easy, filling, flavorful dish that you can throw together anytime, and quickly. I like to make a big batch of my Instant Pot Shredded Chicken Taco meat, and keep it in the freezer to toss in this soup on a busy evening!
There is nothing better on a chilly fall or winter evening that sitting down to a big bowl of warm soup and some fresh bread. That's one of my ultimate favorite comfort meals. Add in a crisp green salad with all the fixings and I'm in a little bit of a dinner bliss.
Some soups can be labors of love though, and while I love it when I have the time to pour the better part of an afternoon into a pot, that isn't always what ends of happening these days.
This chicken taco soup is one that can be thrown together really quickly using what you probably already have on hand, and is a quick timesaver for an easy weeknight meal.
Serve this with some fresh corn cakes for a perfect pair! Are you watching your carbs? Check out this awesome jalapeno cheese bread from Sweet C's!
This is one of those awesome "dump and go" recipes that would work really well in a crockpot or slow cooker as well. You can adjust it to suit your family and your spice preferences, and really make this one your own.
Sometimes I make a ground beef version of this with leftover taco meat too!
Garnish with shredded cheese, sour cream, a lime, and some tortilla strips for a big bowl of comfort food that your whole family will love.
This easy chicken taco soup uses ingredients you probably have on hand already.
Pour all ingredients into a large pot. Simmer for 30 minutes over medium-low heat, stirring frequently.
Serve with your favorite garnishes, and a big piece of cornbread!

В Черкасах існує декілька фонтанів та фонтанних комплексів.

Фонтани — Всього в Черкасах 14 фонтанів.

У Соборному сквері працюватиме фонтан роботи вже завершуються: встановлене оновлене обладнання.Але поліцію попросили під час патрулювання звертати увагу на цю ділянку і наглядати за нею. Незважаючи на те, що це центр міста, площа не охороняється і відеонагляду немає.

Фонтан над Дніпром у Долині троянд їх аж двоє.Перший Пішохідний фонтан він стояв без води аж 15 років.Для їхнього відновлення було замінено труби, відремонтовано водяні басейни, придбано та встановлено два насоси, що дозволять утримувати струмінь води на висоті двох метрів.І другий більш новіший збудований в 2016 році.Фонтан "сухого" типу і, на мою думку, оригінальний. Подібний вже кілька років працює в адмінбудівлі КП "Черкасиводоканал".
Фонтан біля будівлі Черкаської міської ради за формою нагадує двох їжачків.Вони мають дуже естетичний і оригінальний вигляд в день, а з настанням темряви вмикається підсвітка і він набуває просто чарівного вигляду

Модерновий, «сухий»Це фонтан біля «Водоканалу». Збудований у сучасному стилі, тобто вода витікає не з чаші чи іншого резервуару, а з землі. Даний фонтан є улюбленим місцем відпочинку черкаської малечі, там завжди людно. У планах підприємства – встановлення нових більш масштабних фонтанів у більшості мікрорайонів міста.

Найдорожчий"Кулі Тулуба" фонтани на Соборній площі у вигляді гранітних шарів. Бо ніхто насправді не знає скільки грошей було на них витрачено.За часів попередньої влади губернатора Тулуба черкаських підприємців «нагинали» щоб вони вкладали гроші у будівництво фонтанів. Також невідомо на чиєму балансі ці фонтани знаходяться. Такі собі фонтани-привиди.
Перший музичний 1980 року було відкрито фонтан на площі біля «Дружби народів». Тоді він називався "водограй кольорової музики". У 2011 році у Палаці культури «Дружба народів» розпочалася масштабна реконструкція. Окрім іншого, було реконструйовано площу і фонтан перед палацом. Але навіть після реконструкції головною «фішкою» фонтану залишається світло-музика.

Фонтан-акваріум У парку Ювілейному поблизу літнього кінотеатру живуть рибки. «Так склалося історично, що риби в цьому фонтані жили завжди. – розповідає очільник комунального підприємства «Дирекція парків» Микола Бондаренко. – коли цього року проводили ремонтні роботи, рибок зібрали у окреме відро, а потім назад випустили. Зараз подумуємо над реконструкцією всієї площі, то після реконструкції запустимо декоративних червоних риб.
Студентський Фонтан біля Черкаського технологічного університету. Був споруджений одночасно з навчальним закладом. У 1990-их роках він був засипаний, а на його місці створено клумбу. І вже  2010 році в адміністрації університету виникла ідея відродження фонтану у вигляді книги. Студенти, що є любителями всіляких прикмет «на удачу» відразу пустили поговір, що він приносить успіх у навчанні тим, хто кине до фонтану монетку.
Фонтан на площі 700 річчя Черкас біля пам'ятника Бояну.Він був побудований на честь 700 річчя Черкас.Це досить великий фонтан і іноді в спекотні літні дні і дорослі і діти купаються в цьому фонтані.

Фонтан де фотографуються майже всі гості Черкас – Русалонька у Ювілейному парку міста. Парк було закладено у 1967 році, тоді ж і з'явилася скульптура Русалоньки, яка сидить посеред озера. Проте, так як скульптура була бронзовою, то її викрали невідомі. У квітні 2009-го до Русалонька повернулася на своє місце. Хоча нова нагадує попередню хіба у загальних рисах, а найбільша відмінність криється в тому, що гранітна, по суті, не є фонтаном, а просто скульптурою на воді.
«Ніжність троянди»Це порівняно новий фонтан, який з'явився у 2010 році. Його особливість – це єдиний фонтан, що має своє офіційне ім'я. Гіпсова фігура тендітної дівчини, яка ніжиться на пелюстках троянди, відтепер прикрашає сквер Хіміків. Прикрасу для водограю зробив черкаський скульптор Владислав Димйон. За задумом автора, скульптура, особливо колючки на ній, відображають жіночий характер.

У черкаському торгівельно-розважальному комплексі «Любава» фонтан розміщується на першому поверсі. Зазвичай, встановлення водограїв у подібних закладах є розповсюдженою практикою, але для Черкас це щось нове. Фонтан у «Любаві» вже перетворився на своєрідне культове місце відпочинку, біля нього проводять психологічні тренінги, майстер класи, відбуваються масштабні святкування. Дно фонтану рясно всипане монетками.

«Найпершим фонтаном нашого міста можна вважати той, що знаходиться біля обласної ради.Цей фонтан було спроектовано відразу після оголошення про створення Черкаської області. Перший варіант фонтану складався з пам'ятника дівчині з гроном калини і власне з фонтану. Зараз цей пам'ятник встановлено на території «Водоканалу». Згодом дівчину замінила чаша у вигляді квітки, проте довгий час фонтан не працював, зіпсувався. І вже нещодавно цей фонтан набув того виду, який є на даний час.З настанням темряви вмикається підсвітка і фонтан спалахує яскравими різними кольорами. А коли настає зима його утепляють, забивають дошками і посередині ставлять велику зелену ялинку, прикрашають її різні свята наприклад ярмарку чи свято крижаних скульптур.

Mofan Street
模範街
Traveling Back in Time
You can enjoy either traditional snacks or a restaurant meal.
Some of Kinmen's most innovative shops and cafes are here.
With its distinctive architecture, a stroll down historic Mofan Street will take you back in time.
In about 1640, the people walking in this area were soldiers. The famous Ming Dynasty commander Zheng Chenggong (also known as Koxinga), trained his men here, in preparation for his successful attack on the Dutch colonists in Tainan, expelling them from Taiwan.
The attractive red brick buildings you see now are thanks to a local businessmen association, which gathered funds in 1924 to build this one-of-a-kind (in Kinmen) set of shopfronts.
The rhythmic rows of arches and pillars on both sides of the street are architectural influences from SE Asia. The fusion of Western colonial-style and Chinese architecture was popular during the early years of the Republic of China. This street was considered to be such a fine example, it was named "Model Street".
On Jan 1st, 2018, Mofan Street hit Taiwanese news when a local artist decided to display Chinese flags down one side of the street, and Taiwanese flags down the other.
Address Mofan Street, Jincheng Township, Kinmen County Taiwán, R.O.C

Here is audio of Fred Thompson today talking to Byron York about President Obama's speech on Health Care, and Health Care legislation in general.
York pointed out that there are 36 Republican bills that have been written on Health Care. GOP Legislators took the printed out bills to the speech last night and held them up when President Obama was speaking.
Fred and York talked about how Obama has been saying Republicans have offered no alternatives to what Obama and the Democrats have proposed.
York said Republicans are really put out that Obama is acting like "August never happened," referring to the outcry from the American people against ObamaCare at Town Hall Meetings all over the country.
Fred Thompson said Obama made a mistake with his tone last night, saying he characterized millions of Americans who expressed their concern as having "lied about Obama and the legislation."
"Obama has a mean kind of undercurrent, partisan-kind of me-first approach to things that that's a part of, I think, and he was subtly - in his own estimation anyway - dissing the hunderds of thousands of people who went out in August."
They also discussed how miraculously 17 million Americans got health coverage overnight, with Obama now saying there are "30 million Americans without coverage," instead of "47 million Americans," which they have been saying for months.
Fred Thompson said if Obama "made a couple of more speeches, we'd have this problem solved."
Democrats have dropped an estimated 17 million illegals from the total, which accounts for the new number.

Autodesk's 123D Catch Comes to Android, Makes 2D Photos into 3D Objects
Autodesk isn't really a household name, unless you're an architect, engineer, or computer graphics artist. The company makes some of the most widely used digital design products in the world, but it's also creeping into consumer electronics with an array of apps, like the newly released 123D Catch on Android. This app appeared on iOS several years ago, but now Android users can turn real life into a 3D model.
By Ryan Whitwam
https://www.pcmag.com/news/autodesks-123d-catch-comes-to-android-makes-2d-photos-into-3d-objects
Here's how it works—open the 123D Catch app and hit the plus button in the corner to add a new 3D model. You need to place the object you're scanning on a flat surface, or in front of a smooth wall. The more clear the borders between the target and the background, the better. Now you have to hold the phone steady and walk around the object in a circle, snapping photos of it from every angle. The phone's accelerometer and gyroscope are used to orient each picture, so make sure you keep an eye on the matching indicators on your screen.
After you have 20-30 pictures, you can proceed on to the next step and review each snapshot in a grid. Anything with poor light, the wrong rotation, or blurriness should be discarded. The remaining pictures will be sent to the cloud, where Autodesk's servers will crank away on the images to create a full 3D model of the object that you can see from all angles.
The models you make can be shared online for anyone to play around with on Autodesk's hosting service. If you're particularly enamored with the model, you can pay to have it 3D printed. This is a really cool app to play around with, and some of the models come out looking excellent. Processing time is a little long (possibly a few hours), but it's free to try out.

Veteran ABC Reporter Suspended After Making Political Comments on Hidden Camera
Added by Debra Tash on February 26, 2020.
Saved under National, News
Tags: ABC Reporter, Peter Svab, Project Veritas, The Epoch Times
Longtime ABC News correspondent David Wright was suspended on Feb. 26 after he was caught on hidden camera declaring his political preferences and chastising his employer for doing a disservice to voters, particularly with respect to the network's coverage of President Donald Trump. Wright declared himself a socialist.
The company stated Wright won't cover political news anymore.
"Any action that damages our reputation for fairness and impartiality or gives the appearance of compromising it harms ABC News and the individuals involved," said the company's emailed statement to The Epoch Times. "David Wright has been suspended, and to avoid any possible appearance of bias, he will be reassigned away from political coverage when he returns."
The hidden camera recording was released on Feb. 26 by undercover journalism outfit Project Veritas.
"I feel that the truth suffers, the voters are poorly informed," Wright was recorded as saying, commenting on the way the network covers Trump.
"With Trump, we're interested in three things: the outrage of the day, the investigation, and of the palace intrigue of who's backstabbing whom. Beyond that, we don't really cover the guy," he said.
He acknowledged that this leads to the network's failure to "give him [Trump] credit for what things he does do."
But the approach also fails to "hold him [Trump] to account," he said.
Wright made clear his view of the president and seemed to complain the network is not opposing Trump effectively.
"We're in this awkward moment where—and created by this awkward moment, we have this [expletive] president, and we can't figure out how to challenge him," he said.
He made his personal politics clear too.
"Would you consider yourself a Democrat Socialist?" the undercover reporter asked.
"Oh yeah. Like, more than that I'd consider myself a socialist. Like, I think there should be national health insurance; I'm totally fine with reining in corporations; I think they're too many billionaires; and I think there's a wealth gap—that's a problem."
Yet, he criticized the only openly Democratic Socialist presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.).
"Bernie is very old and I think he doesn't want to admit that," Wright said.
Instead, he expressed support for Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.).
"Setting aside my professional dispassion, I worry that if he's [Sanders] elected, he's not going to get anything done. Because he hasn't gotten anything done. Where I do think Warren taking those same issues could get something done," he said.
Wright, who's been with ABC News since 2000, also criticized the company for neglecting stories that he believes would help people make better informed decisions at the ballot box.
"Real people talk about practical issues when they're thinking about a candidate. 'I want to get back to the workforce' or 'I can't afford childcare' or 'I need medical care for whatever.' Well, those things aren't TV friendly things. You know, we want to focus on impeachment, we want to focus on the big [stuff] going on. But the things that help people make up their minds are little [stuff]," he said.
Management, however, doesn't "see an upside in doing the job we're supposed to do, which is to speak truth to power and hold people to account," he said.
The company is too focused on promoting its own products, "as opposed to the kind of dedication to the story and a commitment to telling stories that we need to tell that are maybe hard to tell," Wright opined in a video recorded at a bar at the Doubletree Hotel in Manchester, New Hampshire, where he was to cover the state's primary.
"The commercial imperative is incompatible with news," he said.
At one point, the Harvard and Oxford grad pulled ABC News' veteran producer Andy Fies into the conversation.
Both men agreed that that ABC has approached the Democratic primaries coverage like "horse racing."
"It's all about the [expletive] horse race," Fies said. "We can't stop ourselves."
He also argued the network doesn't "understand voters."
"I mean, people in New York are constantly, I think, fascinated by, 'How can people like Donald Trump?'"
He suggested such New Yorkers need to broaden their horizons.
"Cross the Hudson now and then and come out and spend some time and you'll hear why," he said.
There's no indication ABC has taken any disciplinary steps against Fies.
Attempts to reach Wright for comment were unsuccessful.

Frederic Spotts
Published by Yale University Press, (ISBN 0300132905 and ISBN-13 9780300132908), at a price of £25, the publisher's text reads:
"The German occupation of France from 1940 to 1945 presented wrenching challenges for the nation's artists and intellectuals. Some were able to flee the country; those who remained, including Gide and Celine, Picasso and Matisse, Cortot and Messiaen, and Cocteau and Gabin, responded in differing ways.
This fascinating book is the first to provide a full account of how France's artistic leaders coped under the crushing German presence. Some became heroes, others villains; most were simply survivors. Filled with anecdotes about the artists, composers, writers, filmmakers, and actors who lived through the years of occupation, the book illuminates the disconcerting experience of life and work within a cultural prison.
Frederic Spotts uncovers Hitler's plan to pacify the French through an active cultural life, and examines the unexpected vibrancy of opera, ballet, painting, theatre, and film in both the Occupied and Vichy Zones. In view of the longer-term goal to supplant French with German culture, Spotts offers moving insight into the predicament of French artists as they fought to preserve their country's cultural and national identity."
Review by Max Hastings in the UK's Sunday Times on 23 November 2008 as below:
"The artist's responsibility to society, or lack of it, becomes an especially vexed issue in wartime. Scorn was heaped upon WHAuden and Christopher Isherwood for running away to America to escape the second world war. Yet many people with highly developed aesthetic talents lack heroic ones. This proposition was vividly demonstrated when France was occupied by the Nazis.
Frederic Spotts starts his depiction of French cultural life by asserting that in 1939 Paris was the artistic and intellectual capital of the world, while by 1945 it had forfeited that title forever. What happened in between makes bleak reading and represented, acccording to the author, a moral as well as a creative failure.
In 1940, millions of French people fled south in the face of the German invasion. Serge Lifar, the Ukranian-born dancer who ran the Paris Opera Ballet, compared Paris to "a huge, deserted theatre where the stagehands were busy shifting the scenery and preparing for the next act".
Fugitives gradually trickled back to the capital, to find the victorious Germans eager to make friends and secure stalls seats for every form of entertainment. Hitler's ambassador, Otto Abetz, was a francophile married to an ambitious Frenchwoman, whose brief was to convince the defeated people, and especially their artists and intellectuals, that life could be jolly within the Nazi empire. Soon, theatres and galleries were booming. At the smartest brothels - le Sphinx, le Chabanais and le One-Two-Two - the likes of Maurice Chevalier, Georges Simenon and actor-playwright Sacha Guitry rubbed shoulders with torturers, according to Spotts, without embarrassment. "Those nights!" Fabienne Jamet, owner of the One-Two-Two, enthused later. "I am almost ashamed to say it, but I never had so much fun in my life." Spotts, an American now living in France, emphasises his own repugnance towards those who collaborated. French publishers, he says, "disgraced themselves" by acceding to Nazi demands that they should translate and market German literary works.
The book's chapters bear such headings as Oh, What a Lovely War! and I Get a Kick out of You. The author recoils in disgust from such literary figures as Alfred Fabre-Luce, an ardent collaborator who wrote in his journal about the British: "They pushed us into war and then did not follow." He describes how another writer, Pierre Drieu la Rochelle, was willing to help save from persecution some Jews, but no pederasts. Louis-Ferdinand Céline led the French intellectual charge against Jews with a boorish energy that amazed even the Germans.
French Vichy government censors were more interventionist and heavy-handed than Abetz's men, imposing rigorous curbs on allegedly decadent art and searching play manuscripts for anti-Nazi double entendres. They even banned publication of a new book on Napoleon's 1812 Russian campaign, in case it should distress Germans even then struggling before Moscow. Many editors and journalists collaborated, not least because they needed to earn livings. However, France's most famous writer, André Gide, published almost nothing during the war years lest he seem to be pursuing business as usual. Though Gide opposed violent resistance, he never concealed his abhorrence of the Germans.
Picasso, like Gide, was protected by fame from much danger of harassment. He and other anti-Nazis such as Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir would never have dined with Germans. They formed a social circle around Paris's Café de Flore. The world's most famous artist told his companion, Françoise Gilot: "Oh, I am not looking for risks to take, but in a sort of passive way I do not care to yield to either force or terror. I want to stay here because I am here. The only kind of force that could make me leave would be the desire to leave. Staying on is not really a manifestation of courage; it is just a form of inertia."
Matisse, infirm and living in Vence, was obsessed with his work rather than with the war. The author describes him as blind to the moral issue. Jean Cocteau, by contrast, revelled with defiant cynicism in the occupation experience. When France's leading neurosurgeon despairingly killed himself after Paris fell in 1940, Cocteau shrugged: "I find these days exciting. Too bad Martel was so lacking in curiosity." Guitry took pride in his privileged status under the Nazis, with a special permit for his car, allowances of petrol and heating fuel. His villas and country house were spared from requisition. He lived high throughout the occupation.
Yet there were also honourable contrarians. The actor Jean Gabin, lover of Marlene Dietrich, went to extraordinary lengths to return from the safety of American exile to serve with a tank unit in 1944. Countess Lily Pastré formed an organisation called Pour que L'Esprit Vive, and devoted her home outside Marseille and considerable fortune to sheltering artistic exiles, especially Jews. At times there were 40 refugees in the Château de Montredon. The Czech painter Rudolf Kundera lived there for three years. The countess funded medical care for the Jewish pianist Clara Haskil, and aided her escape to Switzerland. Especially passionate about music, Pastré offered a 5,000-franc prize for the best rendering of Brahms. She staged a performance of A Midsummer Night's Dream, with incidental music orchestrated by a Jewish conductor. Her remarkable story seems to cry out for a film adaptation.
But good deeds are few and far between in Spotts's book. Most of it records the compromises and treacheries of the intellectual community. The author's slang is often inelegant. He writes of the German ambassador: "If, after the war, he had written an honest CV, it would have listed as his initial activity 'looting'." He asserts that the pianist Alfred Cortot, a keen collaborator, should have been shot at the liberation. More than a few people were indeed executed. A string of newspaper editors faced French firing squads in 1944-45, for supporting Vichy. Guitry was spared, but faced social exile. Lifar was banned for a time from Paris ballet, but was eventually allowed to return as a choreographer. A few of the guilty killed themselves, including Drieu la Rochelle. Most were merely allowed to resume their lives. So many French people had cause for guilt that it seemed futile to single out aesthetes for obloquy.
Spotts's judgments on the cultural merits of France's artists seem more convincing than those on their morality. France's wartime experience was the most traumatic of the nation's history. To this day, the most penetrating studies of the period are written by foreigners rather than Frenchmen. The French cherish an overblown legend of resistance, but still shrink from the larger reality of overwhelming collaboration. Yet who dares to say that the same would not have happened here, had Britain been occupied by the Nazis? It is hard for a civilian population to resist subjection by a ruthless military force. Evelyn Waugh memorably told Lord Longford that the war experience should convince artists that they are not cut out to be men of action. Most British and American actors chose to serve their countries by continuing to entertain them rather than by shooting Germans, allowing such notable exceptions as Clark Gable and James Stewart, David Niven and Anthony Quayle.
Cocteau and his friends succumbed to self-pity at dinner one night in 1943, when it had become plain that the allies would win the war, saying: "We will all be considered criminals for having stayed in France and continued our work. Our suffering will not count...Whatever happens, we shall be the victims." Most French artists and intellectuals simply sought to achieve some accomodation that enabled them to keep roofs over their heads. Spotts's book describes an aspect of French life well worthy of attention. It is hard to dispute his conclusion that cultural supremacy passed out of France in 1945, never to return. But his work is diminished by a shortage of nuance. Some of us feel too uncertain of how we ourselves would have behaved under occupation to pass merciless judgment on France's aesthetes for their dalliances with tyranny."

MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. Russia would like to receive a reply from the US and NATO on its proposals regarding security guarantees as soon as possible, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told TASS, adding that there is no deadline.

Mikhail "Mischa" Alexandrovich Zverev (, wiss. Transliteration , deutsche Transkription Michail Alexandrowitsch Swerew; * 22. August 1987 in Moskau, Russische SFSR, Sowjetunion) ist ein deutscher Tennisspieler.

Biografie
Mischa Zverev wurde 1987 in Moskau geboren. Die Familie zog nach Hamburg, als er vier Jahre alt war. Seit früher Jugend wurde er von seinem Vater Alexander Swerew trainiert, der für die Sowjetunion ab 1979 im Davis Cup spielte und im Einzel 1985 Platz 175 in der Weltrangliste erreichte. Seine Mutter Irina Swerewa, geb. Fatejewa, war ebenfalls Profispielerin und erreichte in ihrer Karriere 1993 den 380. Rang in der Weltrangliste. Mischa und sein jüngerer Bruder Alexander Zverev begannen ihre Vereinskarrieren in der Jugend des Uhlenhorster HC. Im Jahr 2004 wurde Mischa Zverev auf der Jugend-Weltrangliste auf Rang 3 geführt.

Seine bis dahin größten Einzel-Erfolge auf der ATP Tour waren seine Viertelfinalteilnahmen in Bangkok 2006, wo er in der ersten Runde den früheren Weltranglistenersten Juan Carlos Ferrero besiegte, und in Newport 2007. Außerdem erreichte er in Wimbledon 2008 die dritte Runde (durch Aufgabe Ferrero).

Im Juni 2008 gewann Mischa Zverev an der Seite von Doppelpartner Michail Juschny die Gerry Weber Open 2008. Gegner im Finale war das indisch-tschechische Duo Leander Paes/Lukáš Dlouhý.

Im Oktober 2008 gewann er mit Michail Juschny erneut gegen Paes und Dlouhý das Doppelfinale von Tokio, diesmal mit 6:3, 6:4.

Beim Turnier in Moskau im Oktober 2008 erreichte Zverev das Halbfinale gegen Marat Safin, zu dem er aufgrund einer Erkrankung nicht antreten konnte. Dies war sein bisher größter Erfolg im Einzel.

2009
Zverev begann das Jahr 2009 auf Position 80. Bei den Australian Open scheiterte er an Juan Martín del Potro in drei Sätzen. Kurze Zeit später erreichte er in Zagreb das Viertelfinale nach Dreisatzerfolgen über Andreas Seppi und Victor Hănescu; wegen einer Bronchitis musste er im Viertelfinale jedoch aufgeben. Zwei Wochen später spielte sich Zverev in Marseille erneut bis in die Runde der letzten Acht vor; dort scheiterte er am topgesetzten Novak Đoković (3:6, 3:6).

Bei den Masters-Turnieren in Indian Wells und Miami scheitere Zverev in Runde eins. In Indian Wells vergab er zwei Matchbälle gegen den Österreicher Daniel Köllerer.

Beim Masters-Turnier von Rom gelang Zverev über die Qualifikation der Einzug ins Viertelfinale (u. a. nach einem Sieg über die damalige Nummer 7 der Welt, Gilles Simon); dort scheiterte er mit 6:7 und 2:6 an Roger Federer. Nach dem Turnier stand er in den Top 60 der Welt.

Beim World Team Cup in Düsseldorf im Mai 2009 spielte er erstmals an der Seite von Nicolas Kiefer. Zum Einzug ins Finale steuerte das Doppel drei Siege bei. Dort gewannen sie auch die nach den Niederlagen in den beiden Einzeln unbedeutend gewordene letzte Partie.

Eine Woche später trat Zverev in Roland Garros an, wo er in der ersten Runde beim Stande von 7:6, 5:7, 0:1 wegen Magenproblemen gegen den Italiener Potito Starace aufgeben musste. Beim Rasenturnier in Halle/Westfalen erreichte er nach Siegen über Joseph Sirianni und Tomáš Berdych das Viertelfinale, wo er am späteren Turniersieger Tommy Haas in zwei Sätzen scheiterte. Eine Zerrung im Oberschenkel führte dazu, dass Zverev im Erstrundenmatch eines weiteren Wimbledon-Vorbereitungsturniers in s´Hertogenbosch in der ersten Runde aufgeben musste.

In Wimbledon spielte sich Mischa Zverev nach einem Sieg über Dmitri Tursunow in Runde zwei, wo er mit 6:4, 6:7, 6:3, 6:7, 0:6 an Landsmann Philipp Petzschner scheiterte.

Zverev wurde aufgrund seiner guten Leistungen für das Viertelfinalspiel gegen Spanien erstmals ins deutsche Davis-Cup-Team berufen. Er spielte an der Seite von Nicolas Kiefer das Doppel gegen Feliciano López und Fernando Verdasco, das sie in vier Sätzen verloren.

Zverev bestritt danach die beiden Sandplatzturniere in Stuttgart und Hamburg. In Stuttgart bezwang er in Runde zwei den topgesetzten Franzosen Gilles Simon, ehe er sich im Viertelfinale dessen Landsmann und späteren Turniersieger Jérémy Chardy geschlagen geben musste. An Position 16 gesetzt, hatte Zverev in Hamburg ein Freilos für die erste Runde. So kam sein erster Auftritt erst in Runde zwei, in der er sich in drei Sätzen Simon Greul geschlagen geben musste. Im Doppelwettbewerb spielte Zverev dank einer Wildcard mit Michael Stich; sie scheiterten jedoch in Runde eins am schwedisch-australischen Doppel Aspelin und Hanley.

In den folgenden sechs Turnieren schied Zverev stets in Runde eins aus, ehe er Ende September im thailändischen Bangkok die zweite Runde erreichte. Kurze Zeit später brach er sich beim Masters-1000-Turnier von Schanghai in seinem Erstrundenmatch gegen Fernando González das rechte Handgelenk. Dies setzte ihn für den Rest der Saison 2009 außer Gefecht.

2010
Zverev gab sein Comeback im Januar beim ATP-Turnier in Brisbane. Hier schied er in Runde eins gegen den Australier Carsten Ball in zwei Sätzen aus. Bei einem weiteren Vorbereitungsturnier auf die Australian Open trat er in der Qualifikation von Sydney an. Auch dort scheiterte er in der ersten Runde.
Bei den Australian Open wurde ihm der Pole Łukasz Kubot zugelost. Der erste Majorauftritt des Jahres endete mit einer deutlichen Dreisatzniederlage in Runde eins.

Zwei weitere Erstrundenniederlagen in Zagreb und Rotterdam folgten, ehe Zverev beim Turnier in Marseille das Halbfinale nach Siegen über David Guez, Tommy Robredo und Guillaume Rufin erreichte. Dort scheiterte er dann am späteren Turniersieger Michaël Llodra in zwei Sätzen. Daraufhin spielte Zverev die US-Hartplatzturniere in Delray Beach, Indian Wells, Sunrise und Miami. In Delray Beach und Sunrise (Challenger) erreichte Zverev Runde zwei – in Indian Wells scheiterte er in Runde eins an Nicolás Almagro, in Miami verlor er die erste Runde der Qualifikation gegen den Österreicher Stefan Koubek. Es folgten mehrere Erstrundenniederlagen, u. a. in München gegen Kevin Anderson und in Roland Garros gegen Nicolas Mahut. Da Zverev die Punkte von der Viertelfinalteilnahme des Mastersturniers in Rom aus dem Vorjahr nicht verteidigen konnte, stürzte er auf Rang 139 ab.

Mit einer Wildcard gestartet, erreichte Zverev in Halle/Westfalen wie im Vorjahr das Viertelfinale; dabei schlug er u. a. die Nummer 15 der Welt, Jürgen Melzer, in drei Sätzen. Zwei Wochen später scheiterte Zverev in der ersten Qualifikationsrunde für Wimbledon an Landsmann Andre Begemann. Durch die schlechte Ranglistenposition war Zverev nun häufig auf der ATP Challenger Tour im Einsatz.
Bei einem Challenger-Turnier in Oberstaufen erreichte er Anfang Juli das Viertelfinale. Mitte Juli erreichte er in Stuttgart dank einer Wildcard-Runde zwei, wo er an Jürgen Melzer scheiterte. Wiederum mit einer Wildcard verlor er bei seinem Heimspiel in Hamburg in der ersten Runde gegen den späteren Turniersieger Andrei Golubew in zwei Sätzen.

Auch bei den folgenden Challenger-Turnieren kam Zverev nie über die zweite Runde hinaus.
Bei der Qualifikation für die US Open verlor er in Runde eins gegen den Kanadier Milos Raonic. Beim Challenger-Turnier in Genua erreichte er das Viertelfinale. Zwei Wochen später überstand er beim Hallenturnier in Metz die Qualifikation; dort erreichte er nach Siegen über Horacio Zeballos, Nicolas Mahut, Jarkko Nieminen und durch Aufgabe von Richard Gasquet das erste Finale seiner Karriere auf der ATP World Tour, in dem er Gilles Simon in zwei Sätzen unterlag. Die Finalteilnahme brachte ihm 37.900 Euro und 162 Weltranglistenpunkte ein.
Zverev erhielt ein Special Exempt für die PTT Thailand Open in der folgenden Woche. Dort verlor er sein Auftaktmatch gegen Benjamin Becker. Zwei Wochen später erhielt er eine Wildcard für die Qualifikation des Masters Turniers von Schanghai. Diese überstand er ohne Probleme und spielte sich nach Siegen über Serhij Stachowskyj und Nikolai Dawydenko bis ins Achtelfinale vor und damit auch wieder in die Top 100 der Weltrangliste. Im folgenden Match unterlag er allerdings dem Argentinier Juan Mónaco klar in zwei Sätzen. Ende Oktober 2010 konnte sich Zverev in Montpellier erneut für ein ATP-Hauptfeld qualifizieren, er traf dort nach seinem Erstrundensieg über Robin Haase erneut auf Nikolai Dawydenko; er verlor in zwei Sätzen.
Er schloss das Jahr als Nummer 82 der Welt ab. Dabei erspielte er sich 318.805 Dollar bei einer Matchbilanz von 13:18.

2011
Zverev feierte seinen ersten Sieg des Jahres auf der ATP-Tour in Indian Wells, wo er den australischen Qualifikanten Matthew Ebden in zwei Sätzen bezwang. In Runde zwei kam gegen Tommy Robredo das knappe Aus. Es folgten vier Erstrundenniederlagen, bis er die Serie in Belgrad durch einen Dreisatzsieg über Dudi Sela stoppen konnte.

Beim Challenger-Turnier von Genf im November erreichte er das Endspiel und unterlag dort dem Tunesier Malek Jaziri. Während des Jahres 2011 setzten Zverev teils Rückenprobleme außer Gefecht.

2012
Im März 2012 verlor er beim Challenger-Turnier von Le Gosier das Endspiel gegen David Goffin aus Belgien. Zverev sicherte sich über die Qualifikation einen Platz im Hauptfeld der French Open, schied in der ersten Runde dann gegen den Franzosen Julien Benneteau aus. Im Oktober stieß er in Sacramento, einem Turnier der Challenger-Klasse, ins Finale vor, musste sich dort James Blake geschlagen geben. Eine Woche später schaffte Zverev bei einem weiteren Challenger die Endspielteilnahme, verpasste in Tiburon jedoch den Titel, er unterlag Jack Sock. Im November gewann er mit Alex Kuznetsov den Doppelwettbewerb des Challenger-Turniers von Knoxville.

2013
Im Januar 2013 zog er ins Finale des Challenger-Turniers von Maui ein, wo er Gō Soeda aus Japan unterlag. Beim Masters 1000 von Indian Wells erreichte Zverev im März die zweite Runde, im Juni kam er beim Rasenturnier von Halle ins Viertelfinale, zog dort gegen Roger Federer aber deutlich den Kürzeren und bekam mit 0:6, 0:6 die Höchststrafe. Im September stieß er in Kuala Lumpur in die zweite Runde vor, wo er gegen Jürgen Melzer verlor. Im Doppel siegte er an der Seite von Alex Kuznetsov im Endspiel des Challenger-Turniers von Dallas gegen Tennys Sandgren/Rhyne Williams.

Aufgrund eines Anrisses der Patellasehne musste Zverev 2013 zeitweilig pausieren.

2014
Im Sommer 2014 musste er einen operativen Eingriff am linken Handgelenk vornehmen lassen. Er schaffte bei keinem ATP-Turnier den Sprung ins Hauptfeld.

2015
Zusammen mit seinem Bruder Alexander zog er im Doppelwettbewerb des Turniers von München ins Endspiel ein, das sie gegen Alexander Peya/Bruno Soares verloren. Im Einzel schied er bei derselben Veranstaltung im Achtelfinale gegen den späteren Turniersieger Andy Murray aus. Im Juni erreichte er beim Turnier von Stuttgart das Viertelfinale (Dreisatzniederlage gegen Marin Čilić), im September stieß er in Metz ins Achtelfinale vor (Dreisatzniederlage gegen Jo-Wilfried Tsonga) und stand kurz darauf auch in Kuala Lumpur in der Runde der letzten 16 Spieler (Zweisatzniederlage gegen Feliciano López). Im Oktober schied Zverev beim Turnier von Valencia im Viertelfinale in zwei Sätzen gegen den Spanier Roberto Bautista Agut aus.

2016
Im Einzel kam Zverev im Februar ins Achtelfinale des Turniers von Marseille, musste im Duell mit David Goffin aber im zweiten Satz aufgeben. Im April gewann er das Challenger-Turnier von Sarasota (Endspielsieg gegen Gerald Melzer), in Kitzbühel im Juli schied er im Achtelfinale gegen Dušan Lajović aus, im Folgemonat war in Los Cabos ebenfalls in der Runde der letzten 16 Schluss (Dreisatzniederlage gegen Ivo Karlović). Bei den US Open erlangte Zverev – erstmals seit 2011 – in der Qualifikation das Startrecht für ein Hauptfeld eines Grand-Slam-Turniers und bezwang dort in der ersten Runde Pierre-Hugues Herbert, ehe er in der zweiten Runde an Jack Sock scheiterte. Im September schied er im Viertelfinale des Turniers von Shenzhen gegen Richard Gasquet aus, bei den Shanghai Masters im Oktober traf Zverev nach Siegen gegen u. a. Nick Kyrgios und Marcel Granollers im Viertelfinale auf den Weltranglistenführenden Novak Đoković und schaffte beinahe die Überraschung. Er gewann den ersten Satz und war im zweiten nur noch drei Punkte vom Matchgewinn entfernt. Letztlich unterlag er Đoković jedoch mit 6:3, 6:7 (4:7) und 3:6.

Im Doppel erreichte er mit seinem Bruder Alexander das Finale des Turniers von Montpellier; in München und Halle kamen die beiden bis ins Viertelfinale.

2017
Die Saison begann für Zverev mit dem größten Erfolg seiner Karriere. Bei den Australian Open erreichte er nach Siegen über Guillermo García López, John Isner und Malek Jaziri das Achtelfinale. Dort besiegte er den Weltranglistenersten Andy Murray überraschend deutlich mit 7:5, 5:7, 6:2, 6:4, wobei er zumeist Serve and Volley spielte. Im Viertelfinale schied er in drei Sätzen (1:6, 5:7, 2:6) gegen Roger Federer aus. Bis dahin war das Erreichen der dritten Runde in Wimbledon 2008 sein bestes Abschneiden bei einem Grand-Slam-Turnier. Zugleich war dies der erste Sieg eines Deutschen bei einem Grand-Slam-Turnier gegen eine aktuelle Nummer 1 seit Boris Beckers Sieg 1995 gegen Andre Agassi in Wimbledon. Durch dieses Ergebnis stieg er auf Rang 35 der Weltrangliste auf, seine beste Platzierung. Nach einer Reihe von frühen Niederlagen konnte Zverev beim Sandplatzturnier in Genf den Einzug ins Finale verbuchen, in welchem er Stan Wawrinka unterlag. Beim Turnier in Wimbledon zog Zverev erstmals seit neun Jahren wieder in die dritte Runde ein. Roger Federer besiegte ihn im zweiten Duell auf Grand-Slam-Ebene innerhalb eines halben Jahres erneut glatt in drei Sätzen. Dennoch konnte Zverev im Anschluss mit Weltranglistenposition 28 eine neue Karrierebestmarke markieren.

2018
Bei den Australian Open gab Zverev in der ersten Runde verletzungsbedingt auf, weswegen er – aufgrund einer neuen verschärften Regelung der Grand-Slam-Veranstalter ab der Saison 2018 – mit einer hohen Geldstrafe (45.000 US-Dollar) belegt wurde. Er war der erste Spieler, der von der Regelnovelle betroffen war und legte dagegen Einspruch ein. Im Juni 2018 gewann er beim Rasenturnier in Eastbourne seinen ersten Einzeltitel auf der Tour.

The fruit of manifestations: is seen in the lives of believers. They are greater intimacy with God; impartations of love, peace, joy and the fear of God; freedom from bondages (fear, anger, bitterness, pain, lust, etc.); physical healings and emotional healing; empowering for ministry (healing the sick, prophesying, intercession, etc.); refreshment. This leads to more evangelism.
Enlarging of spiritual capacities: inner bondages overcome, tenderized emotions, empowering for ministering to others, impartations of love, peace, joy, sensitized to receive more prophetic impressions, the fear of the Lord, "pain killer" as the Spirit does a deep work on the heart, etc.
Manifestation as signs: God sometimes uses a manifestation as a sign to others so that we will pay attention to what the Spirit is saying. When the Spirit gives signs, we ask what that specific sign means. How is the Spirit using it to build up the Church? The signs point to our need for a deeper connection with the Spirit. Manifestations, healing, and other spiritual signs are like a billboard that declares that God is working. A manifestation is a sign only if it signifies something that helps spread the gospel and builds up the kingdom or the lives of people.
HOW DO WE EXPLAIN THESE PHENOMENA?
Manifestations are human responses to encountering God's immediate presence. Manifestations are a physical or emotional response to the Spirit's activity rather than being directly caused by the Spirit. People react to the presence of the Spirit in a similar way to how they react to touching an electric wire! When our all-powerful God touches our weak human frame it impacts us physically, emotionally, and spiritually. For example, falling under the power of the Spirit occurs when our physical control is temporarily suspended by encountering the Holy Spirit.
When God touches the natural world there is often a reaction that is "super" or "above" nature— it is supernatural. Our frail bodies are sometimes powerfully affected by God's presence. The glory of God affects the physical body beyond its capabilities with spiritual encounters resulting in strange physical behavior. Physical manifestations occur when God increases the release of His manifest presence.
Martyn Lloyd-Jones said: "The Holy Spirit affects the whole person. Man is body, soul, and spirit, and we cannot divide these. Man reacts as a whole. It is folly to expect that he can react in the realm of the spiritual without anything at all happening to the rest of him, to the soul, and to the body. These phenomena are indications of the fact that a very powerful stimulus is in operation, that the very physical frame is involved." He argued that such strange phenomena are a means that God uses to get our attention. God shakes us to wake us up (Eph. 5:14).
John Wimber: When warm and cold fronts collide, violence ensues: thunder and lightning, rain or snow, even tornadoes or hurricanes. There is conflict, and a resulting release of power that can be disorderly and messy and difficult to control.
You've got great insights about Manifestation And Healing, keep up the good work!

While a certain half of the firebrand duo Run the Jewels has been under fire in more ways than one, El-P on the hand has been quietly cooking. BRON studios have recently announced that the producer/rapper will be composing the score to the forthcoming Al Capone biopic, Fonzo. The film, written and directed by Josh Trank, will star Tom Hardy (playing as Al Capone himself), Kyle MacLachlan, Linda Cardellini, Jack Lowden and Matt Dillon. Unlike many films that featured various portrayals of the infamous Chicago gangster, this will show a 47-year-old Capone battling with dementia, wrestling with his notorious past.
In a press release, Trank expressed his gratitude for the Company Flow alum's involvement in scoring the film and how his music as influenced him as a youth. "Since I was fourteen years old, El-P's music has been one of the most important creative influences in my life. There's literally no greater honor for me than to collaborate with him today and bear witness to this next stage of his artistic journey."
This wouldn't have been the first time El-P has scored a film, however, as he previously done the music for the 2002 flick, Bomb the System. Currently, Fonzo has no release date. In the meantime, peep the tweets below.
FYI, as stated previously, the name i compose scores under will most likely be "XANS XIMMER". still workshopping it.


Until recently many of those with vision problems such as severe astigmatism, irregular corneas or keratoconus either could not be fitted with contact lenses,got limited results or were forced to wear uncomfortable or only partially effective lenses. Contact lenses have been around for many years. So has the automobile, but modern cars are much better and safer than early autos, which were for the intrepid, wealthy and mechanically inclined. As in the auto world the contact lens world now has many technologies which greatly improve on older solutions.
What's New in Contact Lens Technology?
For many previously problematic conditions specialty custom contact lenses are now available. They require expert diagnosis and fitting, which is a vital part of the vision health services performed by Eye Care Center of Colorado Springs. Keratoconus, a relatively common eye disease, involves thinning and steepening of the cornea. The cornea is crucial to visual focus, and irregularity of the cornea causes blurred vision and distortion. Mild forms of keratoconus may be helped with properly designed and fitted glasses or soft contact lenses. Progressive forms of the condition require something newer and more effective. Highly irregular corneas are caused by a number of things, including keratoconus, pellucid marginal degeneration and post-surgical conditions which can sometimes arise from radial keratotomy and Lasik surgery.
Recent innovations in soft lenses such as the Kerasoft™ IC, newer types of rigid gas permeable contact lenses, hybrid contacts and scleral lenses are great improvements over older treatments. Eye Care Center of Colorado Springs is the first and only provider in Southern Colorado to offer Kerasoft™ IC. Kerasoft™ IC is a new and life-changing lens for management of keratoconus and irregular corneas.
SynergEyes A is a hybrid contact lens, FDA-cleared and specifically designed for patients with high astigmatism, irregular corneas or early-stage keratoconus. SynergEyes A hybrid lens technology give clearer vision without the potential discomfort of hard contact lenses.
SynergEyes KC is the first hybrid contact lens with FDA clearance which is specifically designed for keratoconus patients.
SynergEyes PS is a hybrid contact designed to offer comfort and vision correction after surgery when conventional lenses cannot be used.
What are Rigid Gas Permeable Lenses?
Unlike soft lenses, RGP lenses are rigid, which allows the lens function without distorting vision, which can happen when the lens shapes itself to irregular corneas such as are found in astigmatism and keratoconus patients. This also helps in creating a layer of tears between the lens and cornea, functionally lessening the optical distortion from the irregular shape of the cornea.
Hybrid contact lenses are considerably larger than conventional lenses, with a soft silicone hydrogel skirt and a rigid gas permeable center. The skirt rests on the cornea, enhancing comfort and security. The rigid gas permeable center is arched over the cornea, lowering the risk of corneal scarring and making the lens a healthy treatment option for ketatoconus patients. The skirt also helps keep dirt and particulates from getting under the lens itself. The pairing of a rigid gas permeable center and a soft skirt can give patients a good combination of better vision, safety and comfort.
Scleral lenses are a new type of rigid gas permeable lens which rests on the sclera or white portion of the eye. Scleral lenses are much larger than ordinary RGPs, which provide vision improvement but also require skilled precise fitting of the level provided by Eye Care Center of Colorado Springs. Because scleral contacts, like hybrids, vault the surface of the cornea they can be more comfortable for those with keratoconus and, unlike ordinary gas permeable lenses, fit with very little movement during blinks. They are also effective for those patients with severe dry eyes or those who have had cornea transplants.
How do I know Which Lens is Best for Me?
This is important and is best answered by a visit with trained eye care specialists like Eye Care Center of Colorado Springs. Choosing from the wide range of great improvements over older lens types requires expertise and attention to patient needs. An improperly chosen or fitted lens can be uncomfortable to wear for long periods and can blur vision. Incorrect or ill-fitting lenses can be glare-prone,inconsistent and uncomfortable to wear. Expert care, knowledge and experience can give you clearer, safer and more comfortable vision and Eye Care Center of Colorado specializes in exactly that.
