Why to use
The New gTLDs Revolution
The Internet is about to change!
How does this affects you?
For quite a long time, one of the biggest issues in creating a new website is selecting the site's name (the domain). Most of the good domain names (short, catchy and memorable) are already taken and we are forced to settle for long, difficult and hard to remember alternatives.
Starting 2013 the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is expected to launch over 1000 new gTLDs, and that will change the way we find information on the net.
From now on, the number of available domain names will greatly expand. New gTLDs will be available, sorted by topics. You will now be able to choose a more attractive, memorable and intuitive domain name that will better suit the characteristics of your site or business. Your clients too will be able to find you more easily!
Why register new gTLDs domains?
A great opportunity to catch a relevant, short and memorable domain name
Raise awareness to your business or brand
Differentiate your company from other companies online with a relevant unique website address
Make your site stand out from the competition
More visitors will associate your site to the nature of your business, immediately and intuitively
The new gTLDs will be launched gradually in the following year and a half. Every month, new gTLDs and new opportunities will be available. To try and catch the new gTLD domains you are interested in, you can use Domain The Net's reliable pre-registration service.
The new gTLDs launch process should take a long time and may change in time. Pre-registration allows you to plan ahead and select all domain names with different new gTLDs according to your needs (regardless of the specific launch dates). When a new gTLD you requested becomes available for registration, a message will be sent to you in the relevant date, so that you can finalize the domain registration. The pre-registration is free and without obligation on your behalf.
Sunrise period is an early registration stage in which registered trademark holders may register new gTLDs domain names matching their trademarks. Registration during the sunrise period can only be applied using the TMCH process (Trade Mark Clearing House).
This is a stage in early registration, available for a limited time after the Sunrise process. Anyone may apply to register new gTLDs domains during the Landrush period (with no need for a registered trademark). If more than one registration application is submitted for one domain, the owner of that domain will be decided by an auction between the interested parties, in compliance with the policy of the registry.
After completing the early stages for each new gTLD (separately), a new gTLD will be open for public registration, on a first-come-first-serve basis. Some limitations may be applied for certain new gTLDs (as determined by the registry). You must meet these criteria to be able to register domains under these new gTLDs.
How do you participate in the Sunrise stage (early registration)?
To apply for register a new gTLD domain during the Sunrise period you must join the Trademark Clearinghouse (TMCH). The TMCH is a mechanism created by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) that allows registered trademark owners to add their trademarks to one central database before and during the marketing of the new gTLDs.
Registering and protecting domain names during early registration in all the new gTLDs will only be possible for trademarks registered with the TMCH.
Additionally, owner of a trademark registered with the TMCH will get alerts when domains that match this trademark are registered in the first 90 days of each newly available gTLD.
All trademark owners, person or company, may participate in the TMCH process by applying with their trademarks. When the TMCH receives an application, they will verify the details and the applicant's trademark rights.
New gTLDs pre-registration
Pre-registration is meant to save you time and make sure you will not miss the registration process for each new gTLD. During the pre-registration period, you may choose domain names you are interested in. The new gTLDs launch process is long, and some of the new gTLDs do not have their launch dates. If you pre-register a domain, we will send you an email message to complete the registration process, as soon as this new gTLD is available for registration and in compliance with the policy of the registry.
The pre-registration process is simple and easy. The domain names you select in every new gTLD will be added to your cart and saved for you under your account at Domain The Net. The pre-registration is free of charge and without any obligation on your behalf. You will only have to pay for the new gTLDs domain names that will successfully be registered with the registry, and only after approving the email message sent to you when the relevant new gTLD is available for registration. Only then will your information be delivered to registration and your credit card charged. You will be able to approve only some of the domains you applied for during the pre-registration stage.
New gTLDs registration process updates
Hundreds of new gTLDs will be available for registration, and not all the details are set just yet, some changes may occur in the registration processes. Domain The Net will update you on changes made to the launch process of your pre-registered domain names, such as price updates, dates changed and other relevant updates.

This shipping crate side originally contained Blue Label brand processed American cheese manufactured by the Pabst Corporation of Chicago, Illinois. Like many breweries, the Pabst Brewing Company had to repurpose its factories during Prohibition and its cheese business thrived. Pabst's cheese business was sold to Kraft in 1933 when Prohibition ended.

"In 1921, an investigation was carried on by Messrs. Howe, Foley and Winlock, under the auspices of the National Research Council, the results of which were published under the title of - "Influence of Temperature, Time and Rate of Cooling on Physical Properties of Carbon Steel," by the American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, February, 1923. These results showed that all physical properties of a 0.34 C. percent steel are improved by increasing the rate of cooling from temperatures above the critical range up to a certain rapidity beyond which, there is a gain in strength at the expense of ductility and toughness. The purpose of the first part of this paper is to determine to what extent this is true of steels of drill steel composition"--Introduction, page 2.

Q: Chrome - Is there a way to bookmark recent history? I would like to bookmark all recently visited pages, is there a way to do this?
Preferably a one click solution.

A: Chrome shows the history with chrome://history-frame/; you can easily set a bookmark on that.
(If you want to set multiple bookmarks, one each for each line in the history, that is probably not possible or useful - Chrome keeps all the history, unless you delete it, and that would mean you have 20000 or 50000 or millions of pages in the history)

CD Review: Orange The Juice Announces "The Messiah Is Back" With Their Latest Release
Polish band Orange The Juice recently release their second studio album "The Messiah Is Back" and their first live album "The Drug Of Choice." The band was rated one of the "Best Breakthrough Artist Of The Year," back in 2008 when they released their debut album "You Name It." They have been touring across Europe for the last five years and with these latest releases, Orange The Juice are looking to expand their market and make an impact overseas in the U.S.
Their new studio album "The Messiah Is Back" mixes together jazz, funk, rock and heavy metal, throwing it all in a musical blender and out comes Orange The Juice. Lead singer Konrad Zawadzki sounds little like rapper Eminem as he reads through the lyrics on the opener "Romanian Beach." Their experimental instrumental pieces are great to just let go of your ambitions, as you transition between the thunderous metal of "Summer Sea" and the smooth jazz of "The Message." The new release continues with the progressive-metal appeal of "Blame" as the music brings up the adrenaline with its aggressive collaboration and then calms down for the repetitive the song's chorus. The seven song album closes with the twenty-one minute epic wonder of "I Was Wrong."
Their new live album, "The Drug Of Choice," was released as a CD/DVD and showcases some of the band's "no limits" music as they mix in hardcore metal along with jazzy ska horns on the seven-minute up-tempo "Out Of Place." While the lyrics may be difficult to understand, due to the language barrier, the music is amazing as it breaks down the barriers between genres. As you listen, you never know which direction the music is headed as in the eleven-minute "Report" which draws out their progressive rock influence, as the song plays out like a soundtrack to genocide. The funk of "Romanian Beach" and the piano/metal mix of "Summer Sea" showcases such diversity that Frank Zappa would be proud of the experimentation within their music. The live album closes with the ten-minute jazzy journey of "I Was Wrong" and the horn-led European flavor of "Summer Sea Bonus."

Conclusion of Primary School #2 of Donaye-Taredji Latrine Project – Senegal
This project has been completed under the direction of Peace Corps Volunteer Jonathan Larson. To read about the beginning of the project, CLICK HERE.
The project was to build two latrines at the school.
Jonathan reports on the construction:
The latrines were constructed under the direction of Aliou Sylla, the director of Primary School #2. He kept meticulous accounts of all expenses, and ensured that I received receipts for every purchase. Members of the community and parents of students at the school participated in the construction process, even taking pay cuts to facilitate completion of a resource they knew would benefit everyone.
First, one community member mixed sand and cement to make 667 bricks. This was the longest step of the process because he had to water the bricks for several days after he made them.
Next, the same man dug a hole for the septic tank. After that, the mason and his two helpers used some of the bricks to build a 6 x 8 feet septic tank in the hole, using cement as mortar.
The cover of the septic tank is cement, strengthened by rebar. The masons set it on wooden planks to support it while it dried.
One final community member bent the rebar into posts, which the mason and his two helpers covered with cement and fixed as the corners of the stalls of the latrine. The rest of the bricks were used to make the walls.
This main structure measures 5 x 10 feet at its base. The front its walls reach to a height of ten feet, and slope down toward the back, where the wall is eight feet high.
On the last day, the mason's helpers covered the latrine with cement to make smooth walls while he attached the doors (aluminum with wood frames). They also installed the "chaises anglaises" (the porcelain parts of the toilets) and smoothed the floor inside the stalls with more cement.
The end result offers privacy, convenience, and sanitation, and is even pleasing to the eye. Thank you again for making this possible.
The President of the Association of the Parents of Students, Abdoulaye Tom, wrote:
The population of Donaye thanks you heartily for building latrines within the school. We are very appreciative of it and we encourage you to continue these actions in favor of the people.
We are very open to cement a relationship with Appropriate Projects.
We also thank Jonathan Larson, representative of the Peace Corps, for putting us in touch with you.

While several areas in the United States have recently become active participants in the wine industry, there are locations around the globe that have long been known for great wines and great wine experiences. Of course, Germany, France and Italy are among the favorite places for wine lovers. Now Southern California also ranks high on many lists!
Not only do wine aficionados and occasional wine drinkers think of Southern California as one of the best places from which to purchase wine, they also consider a Southern California wine tour a "must" on the list of things to do.
It may have been a bit more difficult to find information on Southern California wines and tours a few decades ago but in the 21st century the subjects are well documented. Consider that a simple search on the World Wide Web or in a bookstore turns up hundreds of sources of information.
It might be wise to start with the company that has "the name." California Wine Tours (www.californiawinetours.com) has been around since 1986 and can be a great place to begin an education about wine in the Golden State.
The popular Napa Valley in California.
or the Southern California Wine Tasting event that features wineries and retailers in and around Orange County.
These are but a few examples from an extensive list.
What should a great Southern California wine tour include?
and some of the most enjoyable moments to be found anywhere on the planet.
White wine tasting with delicious cheese - beautiful landscape of California in the background.
For example, the region around the community of Temecula has quickly become known as Temecula Wine Country. With a wonderful older town featuring wooden sidewalks and great antique shops as the hub, a tour of just this one region might be enough to satisfy a wine lovers needs.
There are now more than 20 wineries located in the region! It would be impossible to do justice to the many restaurants, stores and other businesses that add flavor to a Temecula Wine Country tour, but a stop at the aptly-named Café Champagne might be in order.
Nearly everyone who knows about wine and the great wine-producing areas of the world is familiar with the central part of California. In fact, the name "Napa" brings immediate images of grapes and wine. But few people know about a hidden treasure of wine in and around one of the largest cities in the world – Los Angeles.
According to the knowledgeable folks at www.losangeles.com, there are at least nine top-shelf wineries in the Los Angeles area!
These include a few recognizable names, such as Joseph Filippi Winery. San Antonio Winery is one of the oldest wineries in Southern California (established in 1917). Records show it is the only winery that lies within the Los Angeles city limits.
If your travels take you to the west coast of the United States and you love to try new and exciting wines, a Southern California Wine Tour may be in order.

Коно́та еквадорська (Cacicus oseryi) — вид горобцеподібних птахів родини трупіалових (Icteridae). Мешкає на заході Амазонії. Раніше цей вид відносили до монотипового роду Еквадорська конота (Clypicterus), однак за результатами молекулярно-філогенетичного дослідження 2014 року він був переведений до роду Касик (Cacicus).

Поширення і екологія
Еквадорські коноти мешкають на півдні Колумбії, на сході Еквадору, на північному сході Перу та на крайньому заході Бразилії. Вони живуть у вологих рівнинних тропічних лісах терра-фірме та в заболочених лісах. Зустрічаються на висоті до 750 м над рівнем моря.

Q: JavaFX ListChangeListener multithreading I am trying to develop an JavaFX application to simulate some elevator system.
Each object Elevator is running on its own thread and I want to display each Elevator.toString() in a listview. The problem is that after running the application for a while I will get NullPointerException or IndexOutOfBounds from one, or more, of the elevator threads. I have created a ObservableList of Elevators where I listen for any property changes, then I have another ObservableList of type string that is connected to the listView. The second one is update every time the change listener fires a wasUpdated() from the first list.
final ObservableList<String> elevators = FXCollections.observableArrayList();

    final ObservableList<Elevator> obsList = FXCollections.observableArrayList(
            new Callback<Elevator, Observable[]>() {
                @Override
                public Observable[] call(Elevator param) {
                    return new Observable[]{
                            param.getCurrentFloorProp(),
                            param.getDirProp(),
                            param.getSmallSchedule(),
                            param.getDoorsProp(),
                            param.getStatusProp()
                    };
                }
            }
    );

    obsList.addListener(new ListChangeListener<Elevator>() {
        @Override
        public void onChanged(Change<? extends Elevator> c) {
            c.reset();
            while (c.next()) {
                if (c.wasUpdated()) {
                        Platform.runLater(() -> {
                            elevators.set(c.getFrom(), obsList.get(c.getFrom()).toString());
                        });
                }
            }
        }
    });

When trying to fix it I have two thoughts, either the ChangeListener fires more changes then the Platform.runLater has time to process or something in the same line as https://stackoverflow.com/a/31414801/9696324. However I cannot get the proposed solutions to work, it usually occurs after 2-3 minutes of running the program without any problems.
When the first error occur the GUI usually freeze (while the program is still running good) and then starts spamming the same errors.
Any thoughts or pointers would be very appreciated, thank you.
The properties are declared in the elevator constructor:
currentFloor = new SimpleIntegerProperty(INITIAL_FLOOR);
    smallSchedule = new SimpleStringProperty("");
    status = new SimpleBooleanProperty(true);
    dir = new SimpleStringProperty("S");
    doors = new SimpleStringProperty("Doors closed");

And the following getters and setter:
public StringProperty getSmallSchedule() {
    return smallSchedule;
}
public StringProperty getDoorsProp() {
    return doors;
}
public StringProperty getDirProp() {
    return dir;
}
public IntegerProperty getCurrentFloorProp() {
    return currentFloor;
}
public BooleanProperty getStatusProp() {
    return status;
}

public void setCurrentFloor(int floorNr) {
    currentFloor.set(floorNr);
}
public void setStatus(boolean status) {
    this.status.set(status);
}
public void setDir(char dir) {
    this.dir.set(Character.toString(dir));
}

A MODERN DAY MIRACLE THAT SAVED TEL AVIV
Original article which appeared in the British newspaper, The Jewish Telegraph,
reported a miracle of a rocket which changed direction.
Every December the children of Israel remember the miracle of Hanukkah.
Some 160 years before Messiah Yeshua was born, a tyrant king from Damascus ruled over the Jews and forced many to worship Greek gods. For three years a Jewish rebellion led by the Maccabees fought against this tyrant. They finally drove him out and then began the work of cleansing the Temple from all the abominations that had gone on there, including sacrifices of pigs to the god Zeus.
To rededicate the Temple, the Jews needed to relight the Menorah and keep it filled with oil so that the light never went out. But among the ruble, they could only find a single container of oil left—enough for one day—that had been sanctified and sealed by the High Priest. According to tradition, they lit the Menorah and it miraculously burned for eight days—long enough to have new oil pressed and sanctified.
Hanukkah is all about miracles. The very presence of the Spirit of God is represented in the anointing oil that lit the Menorah in the Holy Place of the Jewish Temple. But to take back their Temple, the Maccabees had to fight the Syrian enemy for three years. The victory of the Jewish people over this vicious enemy was a great miracle in itself.
Twenty-five miles from the ancient hometown of the Maccabees is the city of Tel Aviv. Last summer during the war with Gaza, a story was broadcast on Israeli TV and appeared in numerous newspapers and blogs with the headline, "Their God changes the path of our rockets in mid-air, said a terrorist."
At the time, I thought the story was fascinating, but because I did not see any thing written about an eye witness account, I didn't repeat the story. But not long ago, I was at a Messianic function where I visited with an old acquaintance. She began to tell me that her daughter—whom I shall call Shelly—was stationed in the Kiriyah military headquarters in downtown Tel Aviv—the equivalent of the Pentagon.
The Kiriyah is located a few meters next to our iconic three Azrieli towers which include a mammoth mall. My friend said that on July 17, Shelly was working in the Kiriyah when the sirens went off and every one quickly headed for the bomb shelters. The siren alerts throughout Tel Aviv had become quite common last summer. But usually, after a minute or so, the all-clear signal would sound; people would climb out of the bomb shelters and return to their work.
But this time Shelly remarked about how the sirens at the Kiriyah continued for "a very long time," with the loud speaker repeating, "Incoming Rocket. Incoming Rocket."
Finally, the all-clear sign was given. But the soldiers, including Shelly, didn't know at the time what was going on.
Shortly after that a Rabbi of a yeshiva [Talmudic school—and whose name I will leave anonymous] sent this email out which was received by the father of the soldier:
"One of my students whom I haven't heard from in many years contacted me today to ask where I teach Torah. I was surprised by his question, since I know for sure that he is not observing Torah and mitzvoth [commandments]. So, I asked him why he wanted to know, and this was his response:"
Azrieli Towers, Tel Aviv
"'I observed the hand of G-d today with my own eyes. Now I know FOR SURE that there is a G-d!! No one told it to me…I didn't hear it from someone else…I saw this happen with my own eyes.
"'I am an integral part of the iron dome operation. What we do here is an exact science and I cannot give many details of what we do. The other day we knew that a missile was headed directly for Tel Aviv…aimed at one of the three big [Azrieli] towers. We sent up one missile to intercept it, and we missed. We sent a second one, and we missed. We sent a third one to intercept…and we missed.
"'Something even remotely like this has only happened one other time ever that I am aware of. We are very exact and very good at what we do. We do not miss. So to miss three times is not possible.
"'By this time, disaster was eminent. Their missile was only seconds from detonation. We began the procedure of sending off one final missile to try and intercept it just before it came down, but we knew that casualties would still be imminent.
"'Now, you must understand, our calculations based on physics and aerodynamics and weather (wind, atmosphere, humidity) are complete…there is NOTHING we don't take into account. This is how [the Iron Dome] is able to work so precisely.
"'But all of a sudden, as we were scrambling to do anything and everything we could to save Tel Aviv, all of a sudden OUT OF NOWHERE came up a huge wind… one that was not on the radar…one that DID NOT EXIST before…and blew the missile from over Tel Aviv all the way into the sea and dropped it off exactly safely into the water where no one was injured!!!
"'You must understand…there was NO WIND…and then there was A HUGE WIND. This is not a couple of inches of a "move" that any gentle breeze could influence…this is MILES. It was nothing other than the hand of G-d!! I saw it with my very own eyes!!! The wind was not there before and it was not there after. It didn't come from somewhere, it came from NOWHERE.
"'And after it moved the missile to the sea, the wind disappeared! So, after seeing this, I can no longer deny the existence of G-d. I took upon myself to keep Shabbat. Yesterday was my first Shabbat to keep and it was the best Shabbat of my life.'"
So that's the story. Such a hit would have been catastrophic beyond imagination for the state of Israel.
Shelly's father wrote me the following: "I didn't know that our daughter was in the area that the missile was heading toward! I began to share the Rabbi's email at our family Shabbat dinner. Since our daughter was at the table (I hadn't a chance to talk to her much since she arrived home that afternoon from the army), I asked her if she knew about this and did it really happen. It was at that point that she said, "Yes, it did happen." But she hadn't heard how the missile was deflected. She only knew that she was in the safe area of the building, waiting for the sirens to stop. It lasted a long time, and then ended. Our daughter never heard what happened until then at our dinner."
The father continued, "I was so thrilled to hear how God was protecting our daughter, even when I didn't know about it. (I was also glad I didn't know about it until after it was over!) When I was back in the U.S. this summer I met with a lot of groups that love Israel and pray for Israel and our family. I know many people were excited to hear how their prayers are making a difference here on the ground in Israel. It really was a great miracle; that event could have been the Israeli equivalent to 9/11 in the U.S. We can say with grateful hearts, the famous Hanukkah blessing: 'A Great Miracle Happened Here!'"
I spoke with Shelly who affirmed the story of the unusually long sirens in the Kiriyah beside the towers. Because as a Messianic believer she is still serving in a responsible position, and because of the sensitivity of the Iron Dome system, she must remain an anonymous source. But from all the information I have received, this is a true story and a true miracle. The God of Israel has not forgotten His chosen people.
I truly believe that as Israelis become increasingly aware of the mortal danger facing the Jewish state, they will call out to the God of Israel. And since the Scriptures foretell that as Israelis open their hearts to God, they will meet "Him whom they pierced." The day is near when the Scripture will be fulfilled: "It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer; And while they are still speaking, I will answer." (Isaiah 65:24)
FINANCIAL HELP TOGETHER WITH FINANCIAL COUNSELING CAN CHANGE LIVES!
By Veronica Paz
I have been working with IstandwithIsrael on a pilot project, choosing five families who have had great difficulty managing their finances under their present circumstances and with their skill sets.
Clearly, finding a way to successfully manage a financial budget brings joy and relief as few other achievements do.
Here is one family's story…
Adina is an Ethiopian woman in her thirties, a single mother of four living in an Ethiopian neighborhood in Netanya. Until three years ago she was married to a man whom she married when she was very young. He was (is) an alcoholic and a gambler but she stayed with him until he became abusive towards her and she feared for the safety of her children and herself. The last months with him were very difficult and one very traumatic episode caused the neighbors to call the police, which ultimately resulted in his arrest and their divorce. Today she has a restraining order and he cannot even enter the city where they live.
Adina was not a believer throughout all this and knew almost nothing about Yeshua. But a figure began to appear in her dreams when she was going through those last months of her marriage. Her daughter's kindergarten teacher was a believer who introduced her to an Ethiopian congregation in Netanya where she learned the identity of the Man who appeared to her and she received Yeshua as her Savior.
Regarding her finances, Adina had two major problems; the first is that because of her ex-husband's gambling, she was left with part of the debt and is paying it back on a monthly basis. The second is that even though she is an extremely hard worker and is working more than full-time (3 part-time jobs) it is still very hard for her to cover her expenses for the household.
I have been working with her for a few months and she is highly motivated to learn to manage her finances and to be responsible before God. Although she has no higher education she is very intelligent and a fast learner. She is aware of her situation but still she trusts God and believes that He will provide for her and her children.
She is very grateful for the help she received from IstandwithIsrael which helped her to pay back part of her debts. She said that the whole process has given her security in assessing her financial reality and how she can make wise choices managing her available funds.
I pray she will continue this amazing journey and that she will soon find herself debt free and maybe even able to save up something for the future of her children.
Veronica Paz is a financial counselor. She is married to Gil, a financial coach and securities trader. They have two children.
IstandwithIsrael DISTRIBUTED $516,000 IN HUMANITARIAN AID IN 2014 (JANUARY-OCTOBER)
"Beit Hayeshua" Rehab Center
Dear friends of "I Stand With Israel,"
I wish to thank you on behalf of the "Beit HaYeshua" rehabilitation center for the generous donation of NIS35,000 for the purchase of a much needed van. Our previous vehicle had broken down many times, and finally we were forced to "part ways." We did not have the money to purchase another vehicle. This donation from "I Stand With Israel" has enabled us to purchase a used Volkswagen van in good condition for the use of the various activities of the rehab center. Many, many thanks to you and the supporters who have made this possible.
Yours in Messiah's service,
Zvi Randelman
Director, Beit Hayeshua
Pastor, congregation Yeshuat Yisrael
Dear "I Stand With Israel" staff,
Stefan is studying for his M.A. in Business
Management and works as a project manager
I want to thank you for the tremendous support that you have given towards my MBA studies. Living life in Israel is not easy for young families and the expenses are many and great. When considering whether to continue pursuing a graduate degree or not, the financial issue was definitely one of the challenging aspects that I brought before the Lord in prayer, telling Him that if this is His will for me that I will need some assistance in this.
Your financial aid has been a real answer to prayer and one of the cases where God "winked" at me affirming to me that this is His will for me as I further my education in a field that interests me and one where I can use the giftings and talents that God has given me.
I hope that God will continue to use this initiative to bless and assist many others, and that we will see more and more Messianic believers filling the ranks and positions in the workplaces and academies in Israel, giving God the glory.
Dear Brothers and Sisters at Maoz, Thank you very much for supporting two of our families in need. We greatly appreciate your help in easing their financial burdens. You are such an example to the body of believers in Israel as you diligently meet their growing needs with a tender and genuine heart. Please know that we will continue your attitude of support, as the funds go directly to the people we specified. I believe our partnership will bring forth much fruit for the kingdom as lives are being changed through prayer and service. Please find attached two thank you letters from the families themselves. May God pour out a refreshing upon each of you and may all the work of your hands prosper as God's will is carried forth. We bless and honor each of you.
Shalom in Messiah,
Avishalom Teklehaimanot
Congregational Leader & Humanitarian Aid Director
Dear Ari and Shira and Friends of Maoz Israel: Please accept our deepest thanks for the help given to our studying teachers through the fund of "I stand with Israel."
Zoya, one of the teachers who has received a scholarship to finish her degree for teaching at Makor HaTikvah
These four teachers are the last ones to finish their degrees and teaching certificates, and two of them will do so by next year. This will help us to comply with the standards of the Israeli Ministry of Education so that our school can be considered for State recognition.
Of course, a teacher's salary does not provide for the high costs of studying so this is a tremendous help to these teachers. Thank you so much for investing in them and also in the future of Makor HaTikvah.
Many blessings to you and your supporters,
Cookie Schwaeber-Issan
Managing Director of Makor HaTikvah Messianic Day School
Along with all of the Staff
Dear I stand with Israel, We at Dugit Center and Adonai Roi Messianic Congregation, would like to thank you so much for your overwhelming assistance to our congregations over the years. Your foundation has been truly faithful in helping these families and widows in need. We cannot begin to thank you and your supporters enough for these generous gifts. They have been extremely beneficial in aiding Israeli Believers through an often difficult season in their lives.
May the Fruits of your service continue to bring Glory and Honor to our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, and may He continue to touch the hearts of all those that you reach.
In our Messiah,
Avi Mizrachi
Director, Dugit Outreach Center
Senior Pastor, Adonai Roi Messianic Congregation
Two Israeli ministers—a Jew and an Arab travel to KurdistanTHERE'S FREEDOM TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO SYRIAN, KURDISH AND IRAQI REFUGEES!
Iraqi refugees come to the courtyard of an Iraqi church to receive humanitarian aid from
the Israelis who distributed aid from the gifts of IstandwithIsrael contributors.
The Israelis were able to connect with a foreign charitable organization, which had a large supply of shoes. The joy on this little boy's face says it all! It's easy to see how much the Messiah loves the little children. May the Gospel bring him the joy of his salvation, as the few Christian laborers bring the Good News to Iraqi refugees.
God is using Israeli Christian Arabs and Messianic Jews to warm, feed and preach the Good News to Syrian and Iraqi refugees. For the first time these Muslim people are hearing that Yeshua (Yesua in Arabic) came to bring them hope in this life and the way to Eternal Life.
These are doors that only God could have opened. Over 1,500,000 Syrian refugees have fled to Jordan. Their world is turned upside down and their future hopeless.
Evangelical Jordanian Christians are doing an amazing job to reach out to the refugees who need help—body, soul and spirit.
So you can imagine their joy when Israeli Arabs and Jews arrived to help these churches with our funds from IstandwithIsrael to help them buy warm jackets for the winter, mattresses and blankets and many other goods like small heaters.
But then our friends heard of the situation in Iraq—after ISIS (Islamic State) massacred masses of Kurds and Iraqis. Hundreds of thousands then fled to the Kurdish city of Erbil.
The child of this Syrian refugee was sick with a serious disease. The child was miraculously healed through the prayers of the Christians. Let us pray for her as she has now come face to face with the truth.
$106,000 DESIGNATED TO THE REFUGEES HAS BEEN RECEIVED THROUGH ISTANDWITHISRAEL AND EVERY PENNY IS BEING SPENT TO HELP SYRIAN AND IRAQI REFUGEES.
In fact, 3,000,000 Iraqis have fled their homes. Carrying contributions from Maoz, the Israeli believers—Jew and Arab—again distributed needed goods including simple medical supplies to these desperate Iraqis. The Israeli believers found that many Iraqi refugees and displaced persons are educated people with good professions who lost everything. Even though they may not yet know God personally, when asked why they didn't convert to Islam under ISIS, they said, "We will not betray Jesus."
The Lord's "Israeli ambassadors" to Iraq preached in a church together. They learned there are only about 1,000 Evangelicals in Kurdistan and another 1,000 Evangelicals in the rest of the country, as many Christians have already fled the country.

Christians help the refugees with whatever they have.
FINDING A WAY TO STAND WITH ISRAEL!
DID THEY MEET AN ANGEL?
Our dear partners from Britain decided to take a 14-mile walk for Maoz and Israel. They began at 9:45a.m. and finished at 7:00p.m.
About 12 miles into the walk, they realized they had missed their route. They saw someone coming towards them and asked him to direct them to Langdon. He put them on track again and asked if he could walk with them. He told them he walked this route regularly and had never seen anyone else use it.
Well, was this an angel? He not only bought refreshments for the whole party, but then took them to the railway station, where he organized ramps for the wheel chairs at both ends of the trip.
Having heard the reason for the walk, he thrust some money in their hands, which turned out to be an unbelievable £90. ($145)!
A DIVINE APPOINTMENT
Our Maoz representatives in Germany, Juergen and Ulrike Herrmann, attended a large demonstration against anti-Semitism in Berlin in front of the Brandenburg Gate.
It was organized by the Central Council of Jews in Germany. Many church and political officials spoke, including Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Before the demonstration, Juergen and Ulrike were seriously praying about the event—praying that Germany/Europe would turn back to the Bible, their Judeo-Christian roots, and to stand boldly, strongly with their Jewish citizens and wake up to the Islamic threat in Europe.
As soon as the Herrmanns arrived at the Brandenburg Gate, a German TV crew spotted Juergen and interviewed him for some time. Juergen let them have it! Even challenging the journalists with the responsibility they have to report the truth about Israel! Ulrike (with the Israeli flag) and her friend stood together praying while Juergen spoke.


The internet home of Gourmet and Bon Appétit magazines. From this page search for "Caribbean", for lots of great recipes. They won't be sorted, but they will be quality.
I bought an online cookbook from these guys (Cuban immigrants) a couple of years, and it's great! You have to slog through the commercials, but they offer a very nice selection of their recipes free.
Use the index on the left of the page. Lots of stuff.
Very nice selection of Jamaican recipes.
Tons of Puerto Rican recipes.
Nice sample of recipes from throughout the region.
Selection from all over the Caribbean.
Mostly, but not all, Jamaican. Many aren't very spicy.
Recipes submitted by people incorporating their products.


In this lesson we are going to compare the present simple and present continuous tense. We are going to study the differences and do exercises together. It is a very common problem to confuse these to tenses. This post includes AUDIO and WRITTEN CLASS.
Many students (especially from Latin America) have problems in choosing the correct form of the verb when we talk about the "present". Such problems arise because they translate from Spanish to English directly without paying attention to the communicative uses.
– She doesn't study French.
– How many children do they have?
– Maria is playing tennis.
– When we construct the present continuous we use the verb to be. Therefore we DO NOT USE auxiliaries do, does, don't or doesn't.
– Use the "ing" form after the verb to be.
Permanent Actions: Pedro lives in Sevilla Temporary actions: Juan is staying at the Marriot hotel.

Deliverd uses downtime at cafes, bars – even a homeless charity kitchen – to make your lunch

He previously served in several roles at TNW, including Editor-in-Chief. He left the company in April 2016 for pastures new.
There's no shortage of tech-infused ways to get a meal delivered. Postmates and Deliveroo will pick up a dish from a local restaurant for you; GrubHub, JustEat and the like do the same for takeaway food, while subscription services like NatureBox and Graze can send you a steady stream of snacks.
Deliverd is entering the market with a UK-focused service that delivers healthy, freshly prepared lunches – but the interesting part is how they're prepared, and the advantage this could give the startup against its competition.
Developed at the Dotforge Social Ventures accelerator in Sheffield, northern England, Deliverd has its meals prepared by existing kitchens, such as those in restaurants, pubs and cafes, during the morning lull before those businesses have to start preparing dishes for their own customers' lunches. An SMS-based printer in each kitchen prints out the day's orders at 10.30am and staff get to work. The finished meals are then collected and delivered to those who ordered them.
There are currently five options, priced at £4 ($6) each. They're created by the startup's food director, James Grant, who trains staff at each kitchen that signs up in how to prepare the meals. In an interesting move, Deliverd also has Sheffield charity The Archer Project on board, offering homeless people paid work with a view to them getting work in one of the other kitchens around the city.
Deliverd's co-founders are Paul Rawlings and Ricki Unger. Longtime readers may remember Rawlings' previous business, ScreenReach (AKA Screach), which we covered on a number of occasions. Rawlings has now stepped away from that company and is focusing on Deliverd full-time.
Simple scaling
Deliverd is currently only available in Sheffield city center, but the plan is to expand to Manchester by the end of July. Rawlings tells me that one benefit of the startup's approach is that by using existing kitchens, it can scale relatively easily with low overheads.
Credit: Deliverd
I tried one of Deliverd's meals recently in Sheffield and found the portion, served in a lightweight, environmentally friendly cardboard box, to be both tasty and filling, and it's certainly something I'll try again when I'm in an area the company covers. Rawlings says that the startup A/B tested the psychological impact of the weight of the box to make sure it 'feels' like a filling, satisfying meal.
Deliverd plans to expand across the UK – focusing solely on lunch – with three more cities "north of London" beyond Sheffield and Manchester due to launch in the next six months. London itself may miss out, however, simply because there's so much culinary choice in the capital anyway.
Beyond those initial plans, Rawlings says that Deliverd's bigger vision is to match demand with excess production capacity in all sorts of different verticals – and food is just the beginning.

1981 Neue Kronenzeitung (Österreich): "As a composer, Soyka displays great sensibility for colours and intensification. As a conductor he was charismatic enough to "sell" his music to the audience." (2nd concert for Saxophon, Großer Musikvereinssaal, Wien).
1986 Die Furche (Austria): "Beautiful new music"(Concert for Organ), Winterthur.
1987 Morgen (Austria): "Soyka´s music is committed to the twelve-tone system, but not to the dogmatic, serial kind. Rather it is an extended twelve-tone style, determined by melodic and rhythmic ideas, by emotions. It is just this emotional aspect which triggers an immediate response and understanding in the listener, even though one might not be able to follow every rational structure and detail. His tone language is varied, beautifully melodious as well as spirited and powerful in rhythm."(Opera "Malya").
1990 Ballett-Journal/Tanz-Archiv (Germany): "This ballet has every chance to make it into the repertoire"(world premiere of DAS IDOL).
1990 Der Standard (Austria): "Against oblivion and racist insanity... Soyka contributed clear, crystalline music."(Ballet DAS IDOL, at the municipal Theater Klagenfurt).
1990 Die Furche (Austria): "..this dance symphony is flitting by... effortlessly employing the whole scale of romantic orchestration, albeit in a completely different sense than the late romantics of the 19th and 20th century. Soyka manages to reconcile two aspects which rarely coincide. On the one hand he is a natural musician, on the other a speculative esoteric of sound and the harmonic world. Thus he is deeply conscious of the conflict between twelve-tone music and the overtone scale. Yet his composer´s heart brings forth reconciliations which reason alone could never supply. The result is an amusing ballet music, deeply felt in its love scenes." (DAS IDOL).
1991 Neue Westfälische Zeitung (Germany): "Soyka showed that he has found a path for modern music beyond Stockhausen." (composer´s portrait, Warburg, Germany).
1994 NÖ.Nachrichten (Austria): "Ulf-Diether Soyka is among the few Austrian composers which in the course of their development have found their own unmistakable tone language." (Concerto for Cello).
1998 NÖ.Nachrichten (Austria): "Soyka´s beautiful setting of the 23rd psalm- pure balm for the soul (Schola Cantorum, Stift Klosterneuburg).
2003 The Horn Magazine (England): "There seems to be a "Third Viennese School" evolving right in our present time... this music here of Ulf-Diether Soyka is melodious, charming and well worth being promoted" (Fantasy, concert in Birmingham).

Q: How convert String into Number in Angular I am getting a Number that stored as a String from localstorage.
   const numb = localstorage.getItem('value');

Now I want to convert it to a Number.
How can I achieve this.
example
"5" to 5

A: you can use parseInt() to achive this.
    parseInt(numb)

or you can use + operator too
    +numb

A: This will Work For you
 const numb = parse.Int(localstorage.getItem('value'));

A: in order to change string to the number in angular, we can use "+" before our string to convert them to the string. for example we have :
  let x = "32";
  let y = +x;
  console.log(typeof y);  //number
  console.log(typeof x);  //string

Thank you so much for being so responsive in our last minute dash to get printed Micro-fibre towels for Leeds International Beer Festival. They were delivered on time, looked great and went down a treat. The crowds really did love them.
From start to finish, great service!
We will be coming back again for our next beach themed event.
The mat has been received and it looks really good, thank you!!
Many thanks for yours and Claire's help, fantastic customer service!
We distributed the Stockport Volleyball towels to the team last night before training, everyone delighted, and we can't believe just how well they work – not that we ever doubted you!
A bit of quick feed back – the ride went really well, all the riders were given a towel which worked well as a towel but the idea to print the course, stop off points, refreshments etc. on the towels was an ingenious stroke, novel and a real talking point.
Thanks so much for the branded blinds, all installed now and the prints have come out really well, the details incredible and our Raw Health brand really stands out.
Just a quick note to the thank you for the blinds, they're perfect, they look great and have reduced the glare on the computer screens. The whole office are pleased and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to other businesses in the building.

The Strangest Exoplanets We Have Ever Discovered
By Radu Alexander
Updated February 5, 2018
We've done some major uncovering our galactic neighbors and, just like in your own neighborhood, some of them are a little peculiar.
By definition, an exoplanet simply refers to a planet which orbits a star other than our Sun. This means that many of the trillions of trillions of planets that probably exist classify as exoplanets. One notable exception is rogue planets – planets that don't orbit stars, instead directly orbiting the galaxies themselves.
Despite there likely being an absolutely huge number of planets in the Universe, we've only discovered about 1800 so far. That's because spotting a planet is a lot harder than spotting a star – they are much smaller and much dimmer.
Even the techniques we use to track down new planets like transit photometry and radial velocity work best at finding gas giants like Jupiter, not small rocky planets like Earth. Despite all of these obstacles, we have enjoyed great success when it comes to uncovering our galactic neighbors and, just like in your own neighborhood, some of them are a little peculiar:
1. Kepler-186f
Source: UPR
Scientists discovered Kepler-186f about six months ago. Despite being one of the most notable astronomical achievements of the year, its discovery kind of went under the radar. For most people studying the skies, the big prize is finding Earth-like planets, as they have the most potential for extraterrestrial life. Kepler-186f not only fit the bill, but was the first genuine Earth-like planet discovered in the habitable zone of its star – the area where liquid water could form.
2. Methuselah
Methuselah is part of a binary star system Source: Wikipedia
Officially, the planet is called PSR B1620-26 b, but its more popular name is Methuselah or the Genesis planet. At the moment, this is the oldest planet that we have ever discovered. It is almost 13 billion years old (12.7), which is about a billion years younger than the Universe itself. By comparison, our Earth is just a toddler…a 4.5-billion year old toddler.
3. 91 Aquarii b

We usually think of planets having just one star since that is the case for our own solar system. However, recent data seems to suggest that binary star systems—where two stars exist at their center of mass—are quite common throughout our galaxy. Tatooine, the home planet of Luke Skywalker, had two suns. 91 Aquarii b goes one better; it is an exoplanet part of a triple star system, orbiting the main star, 91 Aquarii.
4. WASP-12b
Om Nom Nom Source: Wikipedia
We know that planets are doomed to eventually be "consumed" by the stars they orbit. It might take billions of years before this happens, but it is a fate that awaits all planets orbiting stars, including Earth. Unfortunately for WASP-12b, that is exactly what is happening to this exoplanet at this very moment. NASA estimates that the planet "only" has about 10 million years left to live.
5. Pink Planet
Actually, astronomers think the planet is magenta. Source: NASA
GJ 504b is a gas giant located about 57 light-years from us, commonly referred to as the Pink Planet, for obvious reasons. The planet has raised a lot of questions regarding how planets are formed. Not because of its odd coloring, but because of the large distance between it and the star that it's orbiting – 43 astronomical units.
6. The Diamond Planet
Again, the name makes it pretty self-explanatory why this exoplanet stands out. Officially known as 55 Cancri e, it's not certain if the planet is made of diamond or not. If it is indeed a rocky planet made out of a carbon-rich material, then it is quite possible that about a third of it is diamond. Forbes took the time to figure out how much that would be worth – $27 nonilion. That's with 30 zeroes or, in other words, 384 quadrillion times more than the GDP of our entire planet.
Comparison to Jupiter Source: Wikipedia
Right now, we are pretty certain that WASP-17b is the biggest exoplanet we have ever discovered (there's one bigger, but many agree that it's actually a brown dwarf). We know that WASP-17b is a planet and a puffy one at that. That is actually the official term for it, and it means that it is very diffuse. Due to the large amount of heat provided by its star combined with its internal heat, a puffy planet has a large radius but a low density. That is why WASP-17b has a radius twice the size of Jupiter but only half the mass.
8. Kepler-37b

If we're going to talk about the largest exoplanet we should mention the smallest, as well. That honor goes to Kepler-37b, the smallest exoplanet we have found so far. Its size is only slightly larger than the Moon, and it was the first exoplanet discovered smaller than our own tiny Mercury.
9. Gliese 436b
This giant is about the size of Neptune, and it orbits a red dwarf. What makes this exoplanet interesting is its composition – it's made out of hot "ice", which is not something that you would encounter on our planet. The planet's strong gravity maintains the water in bizarre, high pressure, not-really-ice-not-really-water forms despite high temperatures close to 600° F.
10. PSR J1719-1438 b
A planet orbiting a pulsar. Source: Wikipedia
Ok, so this exoplanet might have a dull name, but that's the only dull thing about it. For starters, PSR J1719-1438 b is a pulsar planet. This means that it orbits a pulsar – a tiny, rapidly-rotating, incredibly dense neutron star left over after the main sequence of a regular star.
In this case, the pulsar is only about 12 miles in diameter but its mass is almost 1.5 times more than our Sun. It also has an orbital period a little over two hours. So approximately two hours on Earth means one year on this planet. If you're 50 on our planet, you would be over 200,000 years old there.

Q: Aligning verses differently Is there a way to create the following layout using the verse package?
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{verse}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[margin=1.3in]{geometry}

\newcommand{\attrib}[1]{\nopagebreak\noindent
  \makebox[\dimexpr(\versewidth)+2em][r]{\footnotesize#1\hspace{-2em}}}

\begin{document}

\settowidth\versewidth{What if tomorrow the war could be over?}

\begin{flushright}
\parbox{\versewidth}{
This is a war and we are soldiers. \\
What if tomorrow the war could be over? \\
Isn't that worth fighting for? \\
Isn't that worth dying for? \\
\attrib{Morpheus}
}
\end{flushright}

\begin{flushleft}
\parbox{\versewidth}{
This is a war and we are soldiers. \\
What if tomorrow the war could be over? \\
Isn't that worth fighting for? \\
Isn't that worth dying for? \\
\attrib{Morpheus}
}
\end{flushleft}

\end{document}

Is this possible to do it without using the \makebox for positioning the author (\attrib) ?
I'm just a beginner in both typography and LaTeX. I have experience only in website development.

A: You should use the widest verse as the argument of \settowidth\versewidth; here's my proposal:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{verse}

\newcommand{\attrib}[1]{\nopagebreak\noindent
  \makebox[\dimexpr(\textwidth+\versewidth)/2][r]{\footnotesize#1\hspace{-2em}}}

\begin{document}

\settowidth\versewidth{What if tomorrow the war could be over?}
\begin{verse}[\versewidth]
This is a war and we are soldiers. \\
What if tomorrow the war could be over? \\
Isn't that worth fighting for? \\
Isn't that worth dying for? \\
\end{verse}

\attrib{Morpheus}

\end{document}

You can control the "outdent" of the attribution by acting on the spacing in the definition.

Did the Prius Start a Revolution? – Your Car Angel
Car Deals Near You > Research > Consumer Tips > Did the Prius Start a Revolution? – Your Car Angel
Cars that start a revolution are rare in the automotive industry, and often controversial. That is until they become so popular that it becomes an industry standard. For instance the unusual Volkswagen Beetle achieved worldwide cult status as an inexpensive and reliable car but had to fight off the naysayers. GM tried to follow up with their own air-cooled version with the disappointing Corvair. The Ford Mustang was the undisputed King of Horsepower and all around design greatness as the first pony car. It paved the way for the Camaro and Dodge Challenger.
The utilitarian Jeep Cherokee made its mark as the first true cross over SUV which has since been copied endlessly. And finally the Plymouth Voyager was the genius family car that spoke to the growing families of the baby boomer generation.
All these cars represent true historic ground breakers. Not only were they first to market with their original designs but they also cleared the path for other manufacturers to follow, thereby creating a revolution. There are others of course, but needless to say, it takes a lot of guts to achieve this level of glory.
Welcome to that list the car that started the hybrid movement, the archetypal green-machine:
The Toyota Prius.
When it comes to Hybrids, the Prius stands alone. Simply put, Toyota produced the most advanced expression of mass mobility since the Model T. In designing the Prius, Toyota had effectively doubled the miles per gallon on the average commuter car. Even if you do not currently own a Prius, I can guarantee that the efficiency technology that was refined by Toyota is showing up in the car you are driving today, regardless of make or model. I call that "Trickle Down Autonomics".
Back in the year 2000, American car manufacturers saw the Hybrid movement as a fad, a flash in the pan. The film "Who Killed the Electric Car" was in the early stages of production. In fact, the Prius showed up on American shores just as the behemoth Hummer was starting to roll off the General Motors assembly line as the best car for men with the smallest of trouser snakes. Who knows what the execs at GM were thinking, but it took all but ten short years for the Hummer to blossom and then quickly die on a very expensive vine. In 2010 faithful shareholders got the short end of the stick when GM declared itself bankrupt.
GM clearly did not have their fingers on the pulse of the world. It took GM ten more long years (a lifetime in car design) to finally enter the market with their own version of an ultra-efficient family car, aptly named the Volt. By that time Toyota already had cornered the hybrid market and continues today to reap the lion's share of hybrid sales.
Back when Detroit was playing the big macho card, Toyota was investing heavily in Hybrid technology. To this day Toyota owns over 2,100 patents on the Hybrid system. They had made such incredible strides that by the time the likes of Ford, BMW and Nissan finally woke up, they were forced to seek hybrid licensing technology from Toyota. A good example of this was the early Ford Escape Hybrids which had the Toyota Synergy drive system installed. It is no secret that the Escape was one of the most dependable cars built by Ford. Go figure.
In the end, Toyota made it safe for all the other manufactures to enter the field. The Prius was a simple and efficient car with NASA grade technology that showed the world an ultra-high efficiency car could do everything that any other car could do in terms of moving people around without sacrificing any creature comforts or breaking the bank.
But in classic fashion Toyota had one more ace up their automotive sleeve. Reliability. Getting almost 50 miles per gallon was (and still is) the standard for fuel economy. Even though the Prius is cutting edge in so many ways, it is utterly, convincingly and undeniably reliable. Just how reliable you ask? It is said that over 90% of all Prius's are still on the road today. Put that together with all the gas you will save by buying a used one and you will have yourself a true game changer right smack dab in your own driveway.
But wait you say! What about the batteries?
Those Nickel Metal Hydride batteries (and the special cooling system that keeps the thermal fluctuations at a minimum) have proven beyond a doubt that they are built to last beyond the life expectancy of the rest of the car. That in itself is a tall achievement.
The motto of the Prius should be "Built first, built to last".
Go out and buy yourself one or two. Don't forget to make sure you bring along someone like me who can help you determine if the Prius that you are thinking about buying has been lovingly cared for and will reliably provide you with a low carbon footprint well into the future. Is the Prius a good used car? You bet. It has all the makings of a truly great car.
Special mention to the iconic Chevrolet Corvette which started the American sports car movement, the much loved original Mini Cooper with a transverse mounted engine with front wheel drive, and finally the best selling car of all time: the uber-reliable Toyota Corolla (across 10 generations).

Russell Westbrook & Paul George All-Star Game Recap
Team LeBron came away with All-Star Game victory on Sunday night in Charlotte, erasing a 26-point deficit to take the 178-164 final score. As members of the losing squad, Paul George and Russell Westbrook saw a decent amount of run and made some highlight plays in the process. Here's a quick look at how the Thunder's superstar duo performed.
Stats: 20 points, 4 assists, 3 rebounds, 7/14 FG, 6/12 3P, 26 min.
Play of the Game: Just a casual reverse 360 in transition. Probably better than every non-Diallo dunk in last night's Slam Dunk Contest.
PG13 also hit James Harden with a pair of step-back threes in the third quarter. It was like that meme of the two Spiderman's (Spidermen?) pointing at one another.
Outside of the clips above, George just shot threes and made some plays defensively. Shot 6-of-12 from deep so he looks like he'll keep it rolling through the break this season. Thumbs up.
Stats: 17 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists, 8/20 FG, 1/8 3P, 19 min.
Play of the Game: Russ turned down a wide-open dunk in the second quarter — instead, finding PG in the corner before running back down the floor with an arm raised as his teammate let it fly.
He also put Bradley Beal in the spin cycle during the third quarter. Finished a tough shot at the rim.
Unlike previous All-Star Games, Russ didn't suddenly turn into Steph Curry from long range — he made just 1-of-8 on the night. But Westbrook played nice, didn't fight teammate Joel Embiid, and looked like he was cool with just having a good time. I usually feel like he's playing harder than everyone else in these, but tonight he was one of the guys.
Kevin Durant took home MVP honors with 31 points for Team LeBron. Here are the full All-Star Game highlights if you're interested:

Kindred Hospital - Westminster
Lui and Pam's Story
Click Read More to Watch Below
Everyone Worked Together
John was working on his farm. He hopped off his tractor to shut a gate and his tractor kept moving. "I tried to jump on it, like a dummy, and fell," John said. "The tractor ran over me."
He was immobilized with broken bones, fractured ribs and a punctured lung. "Somehow I was able to wiggle around and get the cell phone out of my pocket," he said. He called his wife, and within an hour a medical helicopter was taking him to a short-term acute care hospital. He stayed there in the Intensive Care Unit for seven weeks and was then admitted to Kindred Hospital. "Really, by that point he was still in critical condition," his wife said. "He was totally dependent on a ventilator to breathe. The people at the hospital had done everything they could – we just needed to go somewhere where they had expertise in caring for vent patients." Almost immediately, the caregivers at Kindred Hospital began rehabilitation therapy and the process of weaning John from the ventilator. "He had been on his back for seven weeks, and gradually they kept having him do a little more at a time," his wife said. "The walking helped him strengthen his lungs." "I felt like I was making progress, absolutely," John said. "I'd heard of Kindred before, but I didn't really know what they did." Six weeks later, John was released to home care to fully recover. "By the time we left, he was walking, breathing, swallowing and eating," his wife said. "And it was the teamwork that was great." "The care was excellent," John said. "Everybody knew what they were doing and everybody worked together." "Just excellent."
Mr. N
Great Strides Toward Recovery
Mr. N, 54, came to Kindred Hospital in January 2009 after a bad bout of pneumonia had sent him into acute respiratory failure. He arrived at Kindred after treatment at a local short-term acute care hospital left him on a ventilator for two months. Mr. N had lived for 13 years at home under tracheostomy home care and nocturnal ventilation, requiring an oxygen level of 40 percent.
Upon admission, Mr. N began immediate treatment not only for acute respiratory failure, but also for a bad case of recurring cellulitis in his lower right leg. He was monitored daily by a primary care physician, a pulmonologist and the wound care team.
In just three weeks, Mr. N was weaned off the vent. By the end of his stay, his required oxygen level was down to 30%.
Mr. N also received IV antibiotic therapy and topical medications as part of his wound care treatment program. Within only 14 days, his painful cellulitis and ulcerations had vastly improved.
With his wounds significantly healed and his new independence from the ventilator, Mr. N began working diligently with Kindred's rehabilitation staff to get back on his feet.
After just six weeks of medical treatment and physical rehabilitation at Kindred, Mr. N. left breathing on his own and able to walk. Having made huge strides toward recovery at Kindred Hospital, Mr. N was transferred to a skilled nursing facility for continued rehabilitation in the hopes of an eventual return home.
