Miller, Edith
Edith (Jane) Miller. Contralto, b Rothsay, near Guelph, Ont, 26 Feb 1875?, d Gravesend, Kent, 18 Jun 1936. She was raised in Portage la Prairie, Man, but began vocal studies with Francesco D'Auria at the TCM. Later she studied with Alberto Randegger in London and Mathilde Marchesi and Jean de Reszke in Paris. Throughout the 1890s she was active in Ontario music circles and in 1898 she was engaged as soloist at St Bartholomew's Church, New York. After her London debut in 1905 she became one of the most admired concert contraltos in England; her repertoire ranged from classical arias to French-Canadian folksongs. She appeared frequently in oratorio but only rarely in opera. She married Max Colyer-Fergusson in 1913 and retired following the birth of her only child in 1917. Described by the Toronto Daily Star in 1909 as 'one of the great concert singers of the day,' her death prompted The Times of London to recall: 'Her success was due not only to the sweetness, purity, and power of her voice, but to her sensitive interpretation and phrasing, intelligence and good taste.'

Q: XNA 4.0 Model texture issue I've got a problem.
When I try to render my model in XNA 4.0 some places of my texture are trasparent. Is something wrong with texture itself or am I doing something wrong? Model and texture are exported from Blender. I tried to disable color key or premultiply alpha but no luck there.
Screenshot:
http://i43.tinypic.com/2evg56u.jpg
Here are my draw methods:
    protected override void Draw(GameTime gameTime)
    {
        GraphicsDevice.Clear(ClearOptions.Target | ClearOptions.DepthBuffer, Color.CornflowerBlue, 1.0f, 0);

        DrawModel(model, position);

        spriteBatch.Begin();
        spriteBatch.DrawString(font, "Camera\nX = " + cameraPosition.X.ToString() +
                                     "\nY = " + cameraPosition.Y.ToString() +
                                     "\nZ = " + cameraPosition.Z.ToString(), new Vector2(10, 10), Color.White);
        spriteBatch.DrawString(font, "Look at\nX = " + cameraLookAt.X.ToString() +
                                     "\nY = " + cameraLookAt.Y.ToString() +
                                     "\nZ = " + cameraLookAt.Z.ToString(), new Vector2(10, 150), Color.White);
        spriteBatch.End();

        base.Draw(gameTime);
    }

    void DrawModel(Model model, Vector3 position)
    {
        foreach (ModelMesh mesh in model.Meshes)
        {
            foreach (BasicEffect effect in mesh.Effects)
            {
                effect.EnableDefaultLighting();
                effect.SpecularColor = new Vector3(0.25f);
                effect.SpecularPower = 16;

Historical Marker: The Birthplace of "Dixie"
Now a Walgreens store, at this location between 1835-1924 stood the Citizens State Bank, which issued a $10 bank note during its early years. Included on the note was the word "Dix," which is the French word for 'ten'. Some argue that, eventually, people began referring to Louisiana as "the land of the Dix." This gradually evolved to become "Dixieland," which can refer to Lousiana and the South in general.
The marker is located on the left side of the entrance to Walgreens
Birthplace of Dixie marker
Although the plaque exists in New Orleans, the true origin of the term "Dixie," is not really known. Some argue the term comes from the Dixon in "Mason-Dixon line," which separated Maryland and Pennsylvania." For others, it is "Dixy's Land," which is tied to a kind slave owner named Dixy, who lived in Manhattan. Dixy was so nice that stories emerged in abundance (notably after the Civil War was over) of how Dixy's slave owning style created an almost paradise for slaves.1
But, the plaque represents the third theory, one involving a New Orleans bank.
On February 25, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln signed the National Banking Act (originally known as the National Currency Act) during the Civil War, on February 25, 1863. As a result, the United States formally created a federal paper money system that served as the official, and only legal currency in the United States. Prior to that, the states controlled paper money distribution, largely issued by private banks -- nearly 8,000 of them, it is believed -- and one of those banks was the Citizens State Bank in New Orleans, where the plaque is located.
Many banks issued paper money in the seventy years of America's existence leading up to the Civil War, but much of it was worthless unless used in a specific location. The Citizen Bank was considered so trustworthy that its tender was accepted all over the South and into the northern U.S. On the back was the French term, "Dix." Over time, banks throughout Antebellum South issued ten-dollar bills that included the Dix wording. As such, people of the South began to be referred to as "Dixies," who lived in Dixieland, or the land where one could obtain a Dixie.
There exists no published citations of the word prior to its emergence in an 1859 song written by Daniel Emmett called, "Dixie." Although it took time for the song to gain popularity in the South, the Civil War served as the catalyst that helped the term become part of the glue that bonded all loyal Confederates.
The New York Times notes,
""Dixie" became so connected so quickly with the South that many Americans attributed its very name to the region...Emmett's tune made it part of the national vocabulary. During the Civil War, soldiers, civilians and slaves frequently referred to the South as Dixie and considered Emmett's ditty the region's anthem."
So, the plaque may not provide the full truth, but it reminds us all of a time when "Federal Dollar Bills," did not exist. It reminds us of a time when the nation was divided, and it provides a great tool to discuss history.

1. He's clingy – super clingy. He wants to help you hang out the washing and you're ready to wring dry his neck. He doesn't have to do everything with you, there's this wonderful thing called space – learn how to wash and wear it.
3. He wants to start a family, now. Did he mention now? How about right now? Does he care you want to see the Taj Mahal first and you're not sure about your bottom looking like a large tourist attraction just quite yet? Put the pregnancy brakes on Mr Clucky or she's sure to fly the coop.
4. He has a career that's more important than you. Never mind the secretary, he's more into that brightly lit Blackberry than he'll ever be of your La Perla lingerie. Save those stockings for a guy who's going to appreciate it – hit refresh and start the man search over again.
5. He's bossy, he's in charge and he thinks compromise is something for getting stains out. It's his way or the water-level's-set-to-high-way. He won't listen to you, he won't reason with you and he certainly won't help fold the sheets. I suggest White King bleach for this one – it whitens and brightens and removes stubborn boyfriends.
6. He doesn't peel the carrots. Seriously, have you tried unpeeled carrots? They taste rotten. It's like licking an eight-year-old child's hand with a side of pesticide and a sprinkle of ear wax. If you don't want to taste what your greengrocer had for breakfast, then peel that layer of scunginess away.
7. Cleanliness – I might be from the country but that doesn't mean I like dirty fingernails. I know plenty of truck-driver-engineer-come-what-grease-monkeys-may and they scrub up clean after a hard day's work. All those metro-sexual man ads are true – we like it when you're clean.
8. He's terrible with money and/or stingy – and no we're not talking first-date-buy-me-a-drink stingy. He blows his pay cheque on things for himself then leaves you to foot the grocery and electricity bills. Guys, learn to pull your weight and work your finances – it's the most unattractive thing to have to baby a man's debts.
9. He lives in bum-crack-Idaho and expects you to make the trek out to see him. Investment properties are all well and good – but if you choose to live a one-hour-and-16-minute drive out of the city and pay very little rent then expect to be spending that extra cash on coming to the inner city to see your girlfriend. Suburb snobbery? HELL yeahs.
10. Table manners. You don't need to have done deportment and grooming with Pippa Middleton but you do need to know how to handle a knife and fork. Face near the plate and shoveling is for the Biggest Loser – not my future husband.

RE: number 8, I think women are so much worse with money than men.
I'm 32 own a house outright (in an inner city suburb by the way for suburb snobs) and still have enough cash saved to buy another smaller place outright.
Most of my male friends my age are also in a good place financially.
I've dated a few women my own age who may own an apartment the size of a cardboard box and are over their heads in debt to pay it off.
But my general view is most women close to my age who are not married are terrible with money, generally in credit card debt and spend most of their pay on rent, and new clothes and shoes.
Very rare it seems are women who have made wise choices financially.
Thanks for your thoughts and reply and that's great you're so financially sound. Thing is guys I've dated enough 30something guys who certainly haven't been and I've been in the situation of having to foot bills and left wondering 'Do I want to have to look after this guys finances for the rest of my life?' Answer was a straight out no. So Realise maybe you're one of the good ones !

Dasyn opened a booth in Maker Faire Tokyo 2017 at Tokyo Big Sight on August 5 to 6. Dasyn exhibited and sold bulbs and lamps with sparkling 3D-printed shades. Dasyn also opened a mini hands-on (workshop). In this hands-on, visitors can design PLA bulb covers and assemble LED bulbs. Five visitors chose favorite cover designs, modified them, and created their own bulbs with a 3D printer. Printing ABS globe stands were also demonstrated. Moreover, many prefabricated bulbs and shades with AC 100 V, DC 12 V, USB (5 V), or battery power supplies, which included ice-cream bulbs (see the second photo), were displayed and sold. More detailed information is available in Japanese.

People always treated the rodents with two different positions. From the point of view of the first, rodents are pests that can cause significant harm to the long labors of gardeners. From the point of view of the second decorative rodents – very cute and undemanding Pets. In connection with these positions there are a number of myths about rodents, which we'd like to talk.
So, the first myth. Rodents unpleasant smell. This statement is fundamentally wrong. Because by themselves the rodents, if they are healthy and do not suffer from intestinal disorders, smell very nice. The misconception is caused by the fact that many people neglect basic rules of hygiene and for a long time do not change your Pets bedding. Of course, after some period of time and the rodent and the room in which his cage will smell like his excrement, but it certainly is not his fault.
Also, do not forget to change food and water, because they also tend to deteriorate and exude unpleasant odors.
The second myth. Rodents spread various infections. When it comes to wild rodents, it is not without an element of truth. However, Pets bought in a pet store and past veterinarnomu and proper control, will cause you no more harm than a domestic cat or dog.
The third myth. Little rodents – a great toy for young children. It is also incorrect. Since the living being is, a priori, not a toy. And to explain this to a young child much more difficult than adult. Therefore, communication with small rodents in children must occur under the careful supervision of their parents, so that neither the animal nor the child, were not subsequently injured.
All the facts described above are related to home decorative rodents. If you are faced with wild rodents in the apartment or on your garden site, we recommend that you do not postpone and immediately purchase rodent repeller or order services for deratization of premises .
We wish your communication with rodents occurs by your own will, and we will help you avoid the trouble of unwanted communication.

The Elbe river landscape
There is hardly a river in Central Europe that flows as freely as the Elbe and changes its appearance over the years so distinctly:
In late winter the water rises, and the floodplain turns into an impressive lake landscape: forests stand under water. Ice floes drift down the river and crunch into the banks.
The skies echo with the cries of thousands of wild geese, swans and ducks. It is migration time: The winter guests head north, taking their leave with impressive formations in the sky until they return in the autumn.
When spring returns, the water retreats. Meadows and pastures become visible, and colours return along with spring: Cuckoo flowers, common meadow rue and marsh peas bloom in the floodplain pastures.
Gradually, the floodplain comes to life: frogs and toads gather in the numerous small ponds and lakes, striking up an impressive chorus. Storks return home and move into their nests on barn roofs. Godwits, oyster catchers and snipes can be observed in search of suitable nesting sites.
Summer on the river Elbe: The water level continues to fall, uncovering the banks. What is revealed here is a joy to both man and animal: a sand beach, fine-grained and white. Sand which invites you to walk on it barefoot and look for tracks: The tracks of the family of grey geese that has spent the night here. If you're lucky, you may find the distinctive tracks of an Elbe beaver on its way to the water.
The air above the river whirs in the heat. Cows and sheep gather in the shade of the mighty oak trees. A family of storks circles above the marshes, already rehearsing for their long journey south.
In the autumn, mists drift across the floodplain of the river Elbe. Everything seems to be standing still. The storks have long since finished breeding and set off to the warm south.
But the calmness dos not last for long. Suddenly they are here: The first winter guests return from their northern breeding grounds. They stop over on their long journey south, and some will spend the winter months by the Elbe. Then the nights are filled with the loud trumpeting of the cranes and the sonorous calls of the whooper swans.
The floodplains of the river Elbe are not just a uniquely beautiful landscape. They are also a uniquely valuable landscape, as they are home to typical habitats, animals and plants over hundreds of kilometres.
On the path of the beaver
The floodplain of the river Elbe was originally woodlands, which used to extend as far as the flooding areas. Floodplain woodlands are the most species-rich habitats in Central Europe: A wide variety of insects provides the basic food for more than 40 types of songbird. They are the nursery for fish, and the Elbe beaver uses the softwoods as food and as building material, black storks and cranes breed in the damp forests. Most wetland woodlands were sacrificed to civilisation in the last few centuries. Only a few remains of wetland woodlands in Central Europe were preserved in the Middle Elbe region.
Like a fish in water
The low point of fish life in the Elbe fortunately lies some years back: Until 1990, huge quantities of industrial wastewater had transformed the Elbe into a stinking sewer. Since then the water quality has seen a huge rise, considered impossible by many, due to water treatment plants. Today some forty species of fish live in the middle Elbe region, and are the most important staple food for species such as the otter, sea eagle and osprey.
A feast for the stork
What would the river Elbe landscape be without its small lakes and ponds in the far-reaching flooding areas? The Elbe is home to twelve different types of amphibians and provides a variety of optimal spawning grounds.
The richly laid table of the wet meadows feeds snipes, herons and of course, Master Stork. Close to 500 white stork couples brood in the Elbe floodplain, and there are 40 alone in Rühstädt, the European stork village. This means that the floodplain of the river Elbe is the most important distribution axis in Germany for Master Stork.
The great cackling
In the cold season the expansive floodplains of the river Elbe are an important resting place for wading birds and waterfowl. They come from the far north of Scandinavia and Russia, and continue on their way south. Huge groups of white-fronted and bean geese, ducks, mergansers, whooper and Bewick's swans can be observed here. The undisturbed marsh areas provide food and shelter for the birds to recuperate and accumulate important fat reserves for their future journey. The floodplain of the river Elbe is also ideally situated for cranes, between their autumn congregation sites on the Baltic coast and their winter quarters on the Iberian peninsula.


The seller is such a sweet person! She shipped out the package quickly and the item looks exactly like in the pictures! I absolutely love it.
Item came wrapped very carefully and in excellent condition. Thank you! I can't wait to wear it!
Great seller, she kept me informed all along the process. Package was on point too.
Lovely packaging and a great seller! Thank you so much!
NEUTRAL. contacted a seller about a pair of shoes and asked if the price can be negotiated. seller reposted the shoes a certain amount, and when i decided to just pass, clarified that it included "shipping to my country". while i still wasn't 100% happy with the price, i needed something similar to these shoes under a time crunch, so i agreed to the sale. i paid the invoice immediately. the next day, seller tells me shipping actually ended up being "too expensive", and asked me to tag on extra money to compensate for shipping. i asked for a refund immediately, and refund was granted (thank you). seller should be more careful about promising for shipping next time, and not misleading a buyer AFTER payment has already cleared. would not buy from again, sorry.


Hello, I'm Dr. Gordon West DDS. My dental practice is called Gordon West DDS, Cosmetic & General Dentistry. We are located at 1140 W South Boulder Rd, Ste 201 in Lafayette, CO, 80026, and you can reach us by calling 720-862-3630.
You can probably imagine why I look at smiles everywhere I go in the Lafayette, CO area. Whether I am working with a dental patient, having dinner at a local restaurant, or attending a sporting event, I notice whether the people around me smile. Whenever I encounter someone with obvious tooth problems, I want to tell them about the procedures that can completely transform their frown into a healthy and beautiful smile.
Perhaps the cost of Lafayette, CO cosmetic dentistry is holding you back. My state-of-the-art dental care in a comfortable environment staff will be happy to talk to you about financing plans. It is important to remember that if your teeth are decayed, postponing treatment will cost more money in the long run.

If your home or small office needs efficient and reliable printing for an affordable price, you should probably consider the Samsung CLP-350, a followup to the wildly popular Samsung CLP-300 toner printer. With fast speeds and high resolutions, you won't find much to complain about. This machine comes with 128 MB of memory upfront, and it has a maximum expandable memory of 256 MB. The CLP-350 also comes standard with USB and ethernet connection, as well as compatibility to Windows, Linux and Mac operating systems. Its weight of 32.6 pounds should be easy enough to move around if necessary and I is very compact in size as well.
Because it is a color printer, it uses four Samsung CLP-350 toner cartridges. These are filled with black, cyan, magenta and yellow toner. Resolutions as high as 2400x600 dpi are possible when printing in color or black, which will leave your documents looking sharp, professional and true-to-life. Each color Samsung CLP-350 toner cartridge will last you about 2,000 pages, and the black toners last 4,000 pages. This means you most likely won't have to replace them often. Remanufactured Samsung CLP-350 toner is always available from third party vendors for only a fraction of the original OEM or manufacturer's versions, while maintaining the same quality.
When it comes to speed, the Samsung CLP-350 is quite fast. Its first page out time for black-and-white prints is 14 seconds, and when printing with color Samsung CLP-350 printer toner, it takes about 24 seconds for the first page to be completed. When using black, you can print up to 19 pages per minute. The only real problem with this printer, though, is its speed for color printing—it can only print about 5 pages per minute, which won't get you too far. However, if black-and-white prints are the majority of your prints, those speeds will do just fine most likely.


DSEi is the showcase of the British "defence industry". Occurring every two years it is "the largest tri-service exhibition in the world." In other words if you want to kill someone from the land, sea or air – they've got it. The last DSEi was in 2003 and this year it is supposed to be 30% bigger with more emphasis on "Products and services related to Homeland Security, anti-terrorism, access control, and personal security" – in other words - more internal repression and erosion of liberties and human rights.
At the 2003 exhibition there were visitors from 65 countries buying wares from 973 companies from 28 countries enjoying a "customer-rich environment". This is all promoted by the government and directly subsidised to the tune of £400,000. Oh and there was a police bill of £4.5 million just to keep the public out - with 3000 police making sure it was business as usual for the merchants of death. That figure is likely to be dwarfed by the policing of this year's event, which will include the imposition of an extensive exclusion zone around the venue.
Every two minutes, someone somewhere dies as a result of armed conflict. Most of the 13 million people worldwide who were internally displaced or forced to become refugees last year are in that situation as a result of war. Britain is world's 2nd largest arms exporter and DSEi is the privately run showroom for the wares of the government's arms industry. In 1999, it asked the private sector to start organising an equivalent to the long-running Royal Navy and British Army Equipment Exhibition. Ever since, Spearhead Exhibitions, now a subsidiary of information and education giant Reed Elsevier, has been making a tidy profit on what has become the world's biggest arms fair. More than 1,000 exhibitors and 20,000 pre-approved visitors are expected at this year's event.
The arms fair is opposed by both Ken Livingstone, the mayor of London, and the local council. But central government support for DSEi is hardly surprising. The Campaign Against Arms Trade (CAAT) calculates that the government spends £888 million annually subsidising arms exports. This includes 'export credit'– the underwriting of arms sales to ensure that companies don't lose out should a country default on its payments. Military goods make up only 2 per cent of UK exports but receive 25 per cent of the export credit budget (see www.eca-watch.org for more). Government subsidies also contribute to research and development, the use of military and diplomatic personnel and the cost of maintaining the Defence Export Services Organisation (DESO), the MoD's arms marketing department which employs 600 civil servants across 18 countries with the sole purpose of helping to sell UK arms abroad.
DESO works very closely with Spearhead for DSEi and has a special role in deciding who is invited. At the last fair in 2003, these included the governments involved in 12 of the 18 major armed conflicts raging at the time. They took their place alongside regimes with clear records of human rights abuses, such as Colombia, China, Algeria, Nigeria and Israel (UK and US also guilty of human rights abuses). Both India and Pakistan were invited despite standing on the brink of war. This year, as the world postures on making poverty history in Africa, impoverished countries such as Angola and Tanzania look set to be invited again and encouraged to increase their foreign debt to line the pockets of the western military industry that dominates the international arms trade.
In order to justify DSEi against the backdrop of growing international opposition, the Defence Manufacturers Association has resorted to the claim that DSEi is not an arms fair, just an exhibition. Yet DSEi's own 2005 brochure states clearly that it "fulfils an important role within the selling process for defence companies". The reality is that by organising and facilitating DSEi, Reed Elsevier and the British government are enabling international big business to profit financially from the death and suffering of millions and directly fuelling war and conflict around the world.

Not all social media fuel conspiracy theories in the same way
Conspiracy theories spread quickly early on in the pandemic, and social media received a lot of the blame. But not all social media are the same.
Algorithms can prevent online abuse
The number of abuse cases against children via the internet has increased by almost 50 per cent in five years, according to the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. Researchers at NTNU in Gjøvik have developed algorithms that can help detect planned online grooming by analysing conversations.
Mental stress plagues 44 per cent of teenage girls in Norway
In the age of smartphones and social media, the number of adolescents and young adults in Norway with depression and anxiety has doubled. Researchers believe politicians and technology giants need to take more responsibility.
Our mood fluctuates in rhythm with the day and week
People's mood on Twitter varies according to more or less fixed patterns. Guess when we're happiest.
Social media's echo chambers not such a big problem
Most people obtain their information from multiple sources. Social media's dreaded "echo chambers" have little significance for most of us, a new study shows.
Social media "likes" and comments lead to poorer self-esteem
Girls who "like" and comment on what others post on social media develop a worse self-image over time. Posting on your own profile doesn't have the same effect.
How to defend yourself against fake news
How can we defend ourselves against false information? NTNU researchers provide some tips and tackle the problem during The Big Challenge Science Festival this week.
How much does our use of social media reveal about our political views?
When companies like Cambridge Analytica use our data for political and commercial interests, it raises concerns about privacy and the integrity of democratic politics. But what exactly do our social media posts say about what we really think?
Exposing fake news on social media
Facebook is an important source of not only genuine, but also fake news. But now a new tool has been developed to expose the fakers.

Favorite Jewliciousy Books of 2012
By larry on 12/14/2012
As the secular year ends, let's share the titles of our favorite Jewlicious books of 2012. In no particular order:
The Middlesteins. A Novel by Jami Attenberg (Grand Central Publishing)
For more than thirty years, Edie and Richard Middlestein shared a solid family life together in the suburbs of Chicago. But now things are splintering apart, for one reason, it seems: Edie's enormous girth. She's obsessed with food- thinking about it, eating it – and if she doesn't stop, she won't have much longer to live. Even as a child, she was solid and always wanted to be carried around by her father and mother. Sure, she is a lawyer, but do we have to sue her to get her to keep her diabetes and weight in check? When Richard abandons Edie, it is up to the three adult kids to take control, including Rachelle-the-perfectionist, who is busy with her twins' b'nai mitzvot party.
The Other Talmud. The Yerushalmi. Unlocking the Secrets of The Talmud of Israel for Judaism Today. By Rabbi Judith Z. Abrams, PhD (Jewish Lights) Today's Judaism is based on the Babylonian Talmud, the Bavli. All the law codes we have are based on this Talmud. But what if the other Talmud, the Yerushalmi– the "Talmud of the Land of Israel"–had become the dominant text? What would that mean for the practice of Judaism today? This engaging look at the Judaism that might have been breaks open the Talmud of the Land of Israel, which is growing in popularity. It examines what the Yerushalmi is, how it differs from the Bavli, and how and why the Bavli is used today.
Did PROHIBITION help to acculturate American Jews to America? Did it make them more American?
JEWS AND BOOZE: Becoming American in the Age of Prohibition By Marni Davis, Phd (NYU Press) is a study of how American Jews and prohibitionists viewed one another with growing suspicion. Jews believed that all Americans had the right to sell and consume alcohol, while prohibitionists insisted that alcohol commerce and consumption posed a threat to the nation's morality and security. In 1920, Jews discovered that the 18th Amendment that prohibited alcohol had anti-Jewish sentiments mixed into the anti-alcohol ideological cocktail.
UNORTHODOX: THE SCANDALOUS REJECTION OF MY HASIDIC ROOTS. BY DEBORAH FELDMAN (Simon and Schuster) is Feldman's memoir of growing up in Williamsburg Brooklyn as a member of the Satmar Hasidic movement. At the age of 23, she left the community with her son. Her mother also left many years prior, but did not take Deborah with her. Feldman writes that her father had a personality disorder and that after her parents divorced, she was raised by her paternal grandparents. She was married off at 17, and was a mother by 19. An interesting story that some say is totally non-fiction and others say is filled with a lot of lurid nonsense and outlandish fiction and an accusation of murder.
What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank: Stories By Nathan Englander (Knopf) Eight new stories from the celebrated the novelist and short-story writer grapple with the great questions of modern life. In the title story, inspired by a Raymond Carver masterpiece, the Holocaust is played out as a devastating parlor game. In "Camp Sundown" vigilante justice is undertaken by a group of geriatric campers in a bucolic summer enclave. "Free Fruit for Young Widows" is a small, sharp study in evil, and "Sister Hills" chronicles the history of Israel's settlements from the eve of the Yom Kippur War through the present, a political fable constructed around the tale of two mothers who strike a terrible bargain to save a child.
Second Person Singular by Sayed Kashua (Grove Press) A fascinating and satirical essay that addresses the split identity of Arab Israelis. Sayed Kashua, the creator of the groundbreaking Israeli sitcom, "Arab Labor," has been widely praised for his literary eye and deadpan wit. His new novel is considered internationally to be his most accomplished and entertaining work yet. Second Person Singular centers on an ambitious lawyer who is considered one of the best Arab criminal attorneys in Jerusalem. He has a thriving practice in the Jewish part of town, a large house, speaks perfect Hebrew, and is in love with his wife and two young children. One day at a used bookstore, he picks up a copy of Tolstoy's The Kreutzer Sonata, and inside finds a love letter, in Arabic, in his wife's handwriting. Consumed with suspicion and jealousy, the lawyer hunts for the book's previous owner—a man named Yonatan—pulling at the strings that hold all their lives together.
UNTERZAKHN. A graphic novel by y Leela Corman (Schocken). Many friends found this novel horrifying. I enjoyed it. A mesmerizing, heartbreaking graphic novel of Jewish immigrant life on New York's Lower East Side at the turn of the twentieth century, as seen through the eyes of twin sisters whose lives take radically and tragically different paths. In drawings that capture both the tumult and the telling details of that street life, Unterzakhn (Yiddish for "Underthings") tells the story of two sisters: as wide-eyed little girls absorbing the sights and sounds of a neighborhood of struggling immigrants. As teen, Esther working for a woman who runs both a burlesque theater and a whorehouse; and Fanya works for an obstetrician who also performs illegal abortions. How will their lives turn out?
ESAU'S BLESSING
How the Bible embraces those with Special Needs
By Ora Horn Prouser, PhD
Ben Yehuda Press
Did Esau have ADHD or diabetes and need to eat promptly? Did Jonah have a learning disability? Were Isaac and Yosef traumatized? What about the speech impediment of Moses? A fresh look at Biblical characters through the lens of disability. Ora Horn Prouser of the Academy of Jewish Religion in Riverdale, The Bronx, NY, shows how the symptoms of ADHD, depression, speech impediments, gifted learning, and physical disabilities appear in the Bible, and shows how the Bible teaches us how to respond with acceptance and compassion, but NOT give a blank check of forgiveness to any bad actions blamed on pathology.
Oddly Normal. One Family's Struggle to Help Their Teenage Son Come to Terms with His Sexuality. by John Schwartz (Gotham) NYT reporter John Schwartz and his wife notiched that their youngest son liked Barbie dolls, Build a Bear workshops, fabulousness, and the color pink. He read voraciously and his gifted vocabulary was off the scales. They gave him love and support and counseling, and hinted that being gay if great. John consulted the experts and even their family rabbi (Mark Kaiserman) who is gay. But still, John got a call one day that his son had attempted suicide after school, after coming out as gay to his classmates in a liberal school in a liberal accepting town. This is a heartfelt memoir by the father of a gay teen, and an eye-opening guide for families who hope to bring up well-adjusted gay adults.
Kin by Dror Burstein. Translated by Dalya Bilu (Dalkey) In prose both minimal and subtly off kilter, acclaimed Israeli novelist Dror Burstein introduces us — through the shifting relationships between an adopted child and his two sets of parents — to an Israel that is as peculiar and to Emil, the unwanted child of two young parents, who is adopted by Yoel and Leah, a childless couple. Yet, as the years pass, it becomes clear that Emil doesn't bear much resemblance to the parents who've loved and raised him. Kin traces the movements of Emil and his four parents as they walk through the same city, nearby but apart, searching for each other in the faces of passersby.
I AM FORBIDDEN. A Novel by Anouk Markovits (Crown)
A family saga set among a group of Satmar Hasidic Jews, spanning seven decades from pre-WWII Transylvania to Paris in the 1960s and contemporary Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Tradition, love, commitment, and Torah law collide when Josef Lichtenstein, 5, survives the murders of his family at the hand of the Romanian Iron Guard in 1939. He is saved by the Florina, the family's non-Jewish maid, and raised by her as a Catholic. Five year's later, in the fields at age 10, Josef rescues a young girl, Mila Heller, after her parents are killed while running to the Satmar Rebbe, Yoel Teitelbaum, who is aboard the Kasztner train. Josef helps Mila reach the home of Zalman Stern, a community leader and scholar, where Mila is taken in and raised like a sister to Zalman's daughter, Atara. After WWII, Zalman, Mila, and Atara flee to Paris, and Josef is sent to America to the newly planted Satmar community. As you would expect, Mila moves to Brooklyn to marry Josef, while Atara seeks independence. Alas, after a decade of marriage, Mila and Josef are childless and Mila, who is fervently pious, must try to get pregnant using another method. Guess what happens next?
Learning From the Octopus. How Secrets from Nature Can Help Us Fight Terrorist Attacks, Natural Disasters, and Disease. By Rafe Sagarin, Arizona State Univ (Basic Books). Did you know that octopi can change their eight tenticles separately. What can we learn from this for security. Why is the Israeli-Hamas suicide bombing issue like that of a salmon? Despite the billions of dollars we've poured into foreign wars, homeland security, and disaster response, we are fundamentally no better prepared for the next terrorist attack or unprecedented flood than we were in 2001. Our response to catastrophe remains unchanged: add another step to airport security, another meter to the levee wall. This approach has proved totally ineffective: reacting to past threats and trying to predict future risks will only waste resources in our increasingly unpredictable world. Ecologist and security expert Rafe Sagarin rethinks the seemingly intractable problem of security by drawing inspiration from a surprising source: nature.
A Sense of Direction. Pilgrimage for the Restless and the Hopeful.
By Gideon Lewis-Kraus (Riverhead) Gideon Lewis-Kraus grabs his sneakers and goes on a pilgrimage and ponders the conflict between discipline and desire. He travels on the Camino de Santiago; a circuit of 88 Buddhist temples on the Japanese island of Shikoku; and with his brother and his father (a gay rabbi who was closeted for most of his adulthood) he goes to Uman, Ukraine with Breslov Hasidim.
Text Messages. A Torah Commentary for Teens. by Rabbi Jeffrey K. Salkin (Jewish Lights) Young people like to be included in the struggle for meaning, for the right questions to ask and the search for tentative answers. A collection of messages on each Torah portion, aimed specifically for teens and young adults.
The World Without You. A Novel By Joshua Henkin (Pantheon)
A deeply engaging novel about love, loss, and the aftermath of a family tragedy. It's July 4th, 2005, and the Frankel family is descending upon their beloved summer home in the Berkshires. But this is no ordinary holiday: the family is gathering for a memorial. Leo, the youngest of the four Frankel siblings and an intrepid journalist and adventurer, was killed one year earlier while on assignment in Iraq. His parents, Marilyn and David, are adrift in grief. When Mr. Frankel tells people he only has three kids and not four, his wife is so angry she pursues a divorce.

The Fish That Ate the Whale. The Life and Times of America's Banana King. By Rich Cohen (FSG) Rich Cohen, the author of Tough Jews, Israel is Real, Sweet and Lowdown, and more recreates the life (or lives) of Samuel Zemurray, a Jewish hero, kingmaker, Zionist, gringo, and secret agent that no one recalls. He arrived in America penniless, and died a rich man – a powerful man who controlled the United Fruit Company.
My Life in Jewish Renewal. A Memoir By Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi (with Dr. Edward Hoffman of Yeshiva Univ) (Rowman & Littlefield)
Reb Zalman has changed much of American Judaism, conferring ordinations and building the renewal movement. Here is a story that includes his work with rabbis, leaders, Timothy Leary, Elie Wiesel, Thomas Merton, the Dalai Lama, and more.
The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture. By Professor Yoram Hazony, PhD (Cambridge University Press) Love it or hate it, it was much discussed. What if the Hebrew Bible wasn't meant to be read as "revelation"? What if it's not really about miracles or the afterlife – but about how to lead our lives in this world? The Philosophy of Hebrew Scripture proposes a new framework for reading the Bible. It shows how biblical authors used narrative and prophetic oratory to advance universal arguments about ethics, political philosophy, and metaphysics. It offers a different way to interpret Abel, Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and David, and the speeches of Isaiah and Jeremiah.
Spies Against Armageddon. Inside Israel's Secret War. By Dan Raviv and Yossi Melman (Levant) A vivid history of Israel's intelligence services — led by Mossad — from the country's independence in 1948, right up to the current Middle East crises. Chapter 1 is titled "Stopping Iran," focused on nuclear threats, and then readers are taken through the entire history. Best-selling spy novelist Daniel Silva writes: "Buyer beware: Once you crack the cover of Spies Against Armageddon, you won't be able to put it down. It is much more than simply the most authoritative book ever written about Israeli intelligence. It is storytelling and drama of the highest order."
JEWISH JOCKS.
Edited by Franklin Foer and Marc Tracy (Hachette)
Franklin Foer of soccer fame, and brother to Jonathan Safran Foer and memory king Joshua Foer, teams up with Tablet honcho, Marc Tracy, to look at Jewish Jocks.
The ideal Bar Mitzvah gift for the coming decade. Jews were barred from being jocks for centuries. Even the ancient Greeks were not keen on Jews. But in the past few hundred years, Jews have been emancipated and entered sports as players and not just writers, managers, coaches, and owners.
Foer and Tracy has corralled top writers (not all of them are Jewish) and asked them to write about Jewish Jocks. White House economic adviser Lawrence Summers writes on tennis star Harold Solomon (a top ten tennis player in the Seventies). Best-selling author Steven Pinker's subject is basketball coach Red Auerbach. Booker Prize-winning novelist Howard Jacobson has picked ping-pong legend Marty Reisman to write about.
Other contributors include New Yorker editor David Remnick on Howard (Cohen) Cosell, "Friday Night Lights" author Buzz Bissinger on boxer Barney Ross (born Beryl David Rosofsky), and "Freakonomics" co-author Stephen Dubner on a baseball player who was hit in the head in his only major league at-bat. Also David Margolick, tough Jews expert Rich Cohen (on Sid Luckman), and Judith Shulevitz (on Mark Spitz) weigh in. Topics include Art Shamsky, Kerri Strug, Harold Solomon, Sandy Koufax, Shirley Povitch, and many, many more.
the signal and the noise. why so many predictions fail – but some don't. by nate silver (Penguin) Silver, the NY Times contributor and genius prognosticator of the 2012 elections once responded to the question "What is your favorite body part (on yourself) and why?" with "My Nose. I'm half Jewish and it strikes a nice Jewish, Gentile balance." When not contemplating his nose, Nate Silver built an innovative system for predicting baseball performance, predicted the 2008 election within a Jew-fro hair's breadth, predicted the 2012 presidential race for 49 of 50 states, and became a national sensation as a blogger — all by the time he was thirty years old. Now 34, Silver examines the world of prediction, investigating how we can distinguish a true signal from a universe of noisy data. Most predictions fail, often at great cost to society, because most of us have a poor understanding of probability and uncertainty. Both experts and laypeople mistake more confident predictions for more accurate ones. But overconfidence is often the reason for failure. If our appreciation of uncertainty improves, our predictions can get better too. This is the "prediction paradox": The more humility we have about our ability to make predictions, the more successful we can be in planning for the future.
The Book of Job. When Bad Things Happened to a Good Person. By Rabbi Harold S. Kushner (Schocken). From one of our most trusted spiritual advisers, a thoughtful, illuminating guide to that most fascinating of biblical texts, the book of Job, and what it can teach us about living in a troubled world
The Zohar. Pritzker Edition. Volume Seven. Edited by Daniel Matt (Stanford University Press) This seventh volume of The Zohar: Pritzker Edition consists of commentary on more than half the book of Leviticus, its animal sacrifices, grain offerings, and priestly rituals. How does The Zohar spiritualize the laws and procedures and transform them into symbols of God's inner life in the absence of a Sinai Tabernacle or a Temple in Jerusalem
Pitching in the Promised Land. A Story of the First and Only Season in the Israel Baseball League. by Aaron Pribble (University of Nebraska Press) It was the first (and last) season of professional baseball in Israel. Aaron Pribble, 27, had been out of Minor League Baseball for three years while he pursued a career in education when, at his coach's suggestion, he tried out for the newly formed Israel Baseball League (IBL). Of Jewish descent and a former pro, Pribble was the ideal candidate for the upstart league. This is the story of his Yemeni girlfriend and America's pastime in Israel
Jerusalem. A Cookbook. by Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi (Ten Speed Press). Following up on Yotam's cookbook, PLENTY, the two celebrated London chefs present this collection of 120 recipes that explore the flavors of Jerusalem and its diverse flavors. Both men were born in Jerusalem in 1968 — Tamimi on the Arab east side and Ottolenghi in the Jewish west. Both ended up in London, gay, and working in restaurants. Between them, they have five restaurants in London and two cookbooks, and they are known for their exactness. Is it a political book? Yes and No. Sami and Yotam told me that everything is political sooner or later. For example, the naming of a dish or the naming of an ingredient is political and needed to sometimes be discussed and debated. But the book is not overtly political. Nor are they naïve enough to believe that food will bring political ideas, destinies or foes together. It is food. But who knows.
This is a Cookbook. Recipes For Real Life. by By Max Sussman, 26, and Eli Sussman, 29
(Weldon Owen) Get into the kitchen. Use what's in there. And don't be worried about eff'ing it up. James Beard Foundation 2012 Rising Star nominee Max Sussman and his partner in crime, Eli, are over perfection. They care about cooking good food that tastes like you made it. These 2 brothers – now based on Brooklyn – have 60 recipes that demystify the cooking process for at-home chefs.

In Sunlight and in Shadow. A Novel by Mark Helprin (Houghton Mifflin) Can love and honor conquer all? Mark Helprin's enchanting and sweeping novel springs from this deceptively simple question, and from the sight of a beautiful young woman, dressed in white, on the Staten Island Ferry, at the beginning of summer, 1946.
Postwar New York glows with energy. Harry Copeland, an elite paratrooper who fought behind enemy lines in Europe, has returned home to run the family business. Yet his life is upended by a single encounter with the young singer and heiress Catherine Thomas Hale, as they each fall for the other in an instant.
The Art Forger. A Novel by B.A. Shapiro (Algonquin) On March 18, 1990, thirteen works of art worth today over $500 million were stolen from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.

The Forgetting River. A Modern Tale of Survival, Identity, and the Inquisition. by
By Doreen Carvajal (Riverhead)
Raised a Catholic in California, New York Times journalist Doreen Carvajal is shocked when she discovers that her background may actually be connected to conversos in Inquisition-era Spain , Jews who were forced to renounce their faith and convert to Christianity or face torture and death. With vivid childhood memories of Sunday sermons, catechism, and the rosary, Carvajal travels to the south of Spain, to the centuries-old Andalucian town of Arcos de la Frontera, to investigate her lineage and recover her family's original religious heritage. In Arcos, Carvajal is struck by the white pueblo's ancient beauty and the difficulty she encounters in probing the town's own secret history of the Inquisition. She comes to realize that fear remains a legacy of the Inquisition along with the cryptic messages left by its victims. Back at her childhood home in California, Carvajal uncovers papers documenting a family of Carvajals who were burned at the stake in the 16th-century territory of Mexico. Could the author's family history be linked to the hidden history of Arcos? And could the unfortunate Carvajals have been her ancestors?

I found a book on Amazon. It was covered in Nazi symbols, the blurb seemed anti semitic but it was oddly interesting. I bought a copy to read, The Final Solution by Kris Robbins. The author seems to have done a great amount of research but his claims are extraordinary, a Jewish girl, a prostitute in Vienna was, according to him, the incidental cause of the Holocaust! Hitler, survived the war, his suicide being staged by a double that had undergone extensive surgery to make his body, teeth and mannerisms identical to him.
With the Nazi riches he moves into British society and sets up a dynasty that is dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish people, the Nazi's, Final Solution.
The book left me in anguish, it could all so easily be true! The ending is fantasy but the facts match in so many places. Anti semitic, definitely but I think the writer himself is Jewish!
It should probably be banned, nonsense but it is very provocative and could fuel a backlash!

Pakistani court acquits Christian man charged of blasphemy

The High Court in Lahore has acquitted a Christian who was earlier sentenced to life in prison under Pakistan's blasphemy laws.
The Lahore High Court on Dec. 15 acquitted Imran Ghafur Masih, who spent more than 10 years in prison for allegedly committing blasphemy.
"It is a day of resurrection for us," Naveed Masih, Imran's brother, told rights group International Christian Concern (ICC). "God has heard our cry and we are very thankful to him. It's a Christmas gift for us."
Imran's family has already gone into hiding following the acquittal due to potential threats from extremist groups.
"We are happy to see Imran Masih finally acquitted and released," said William Stark, ICC's regional manager for South Asia.
"It is great to see such a prolonged blasphemy case justly resolved at the high court level in Pakistan," he said.
Stark, however, expressed concern for the safety of Imran and his family, saying that extremists in Pakistan are known to target individuals accused of religious crimes, like blasphemy, even after they have been acquitted.
"The abuse of Pakistan's blasphemy laws must be curbed and false allegations must be rooted out and punished," said Stark.
He said that these laws "have been a tool in the hands of extremists seeking to stir up religiously motivated violence against minorities."
"Without reform, religious minorities will continue to face false blasphemy accusations and the violence that often accompanies these accusations," said Stark.
The case of Imran Ghafur Masih
On July 1, 2009, Imran was cleaning his family's bookshop in Hajweri town in Faisalabad. He was about to burn some trash, which included some old books and papers, when he came across a textbook with Arabic writing.
Concerned that the book contained religious writings, Imran consulted Hajji Liaquat Ali, his Muslim neighbor. Ali told Imran to burn the book, so Imran threw it into the fire and walked away.
When the book was partially burned, Ali returned and pulled it out of the fire. Ali used the partially burned book to accuse Imran of burning a Qur'an.
According to Imran's family, Ali wanted the storefront leased to the family's bookshop to expand his building materials business located next door.
News of the incident soon spread to local mosques and made announcements over their public address systems.
A mob of approximately 400 Muslims gathered at Imran's home and beat him, along with his brother, Naveed, and father, Ghafur, before dousing them with paraffin in an attempt to burn them alive.
Local police intervened, arrested Imran, and took him to the police station.
A mob of about 1,000 people gathered outside of the police station and demanded Imran be handed to them. Police soon registered a blasphemy case against Imran and copies of the charges were distributed to the mob.
On Jan. 11, 2010, the Sessions Court of Faisalabad sentenced Imran to life in prison and a fine of 100,000 rupees.
Imran appealed the case before the Lahore High Court but was postponed nearly 70 times over the course of the next 10 years.
According to Imran's lawyer, the appeal passed through the offices of at least 10 justices.
"We went through a very painful time during Imran's imprisonment," Naveed said.
"Imran lost his parents and was not allowed to attend the funeral. We lost our business and jobs which has affected our children's education and future," said Imran's brother.

The Paradox of Grace: Notes
Romans 6:13 – 7:6
The Paradox of Grace
"We have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit" (Rom 7:6b).
When someone is baptized into Christ, it is as radical an event as moving from one country to another,
Israel crossing the Red Sea with Moses, or becoming best friends with someone who has been your
enemy. At least, that is what Paul thought! Consider a baptism event that you have witnessed (perhaps
even your own). What did you understand to be happening in that moment? What new insight might
Romans 6 offer about what baptism represents for a person?
Paul uses several human experiences to illustrate the difference made by being "in Christ." N.T. Wright
points to an underlying motif that seems to run through the section in terms of Israel's deliverance from
Egypt into the sovereign care of God in their trek to a Promised Land. Do you see why he would speak of
our experience with Christ as a "second exodus"? Does that image resonate with you?
Pay attention to the language of 6:13-14. In particular, explain the challenge to "offer every part of
yourself to [God] as an instrument of righteousness." The biblical view of a human being is very much
tied to our embodied experience. Compare Paul's language here with texts such as Proverbs 4:23,
Matthew7:17-20, Luke 6:43-44, and Romans 12:1-2. What is the primary truth you see in these texts?
The first "paradox" of God's grace revealed in Christ is illustrated by a reference to slavery. The majority
of slaves in Paul's time had been made slaves by Roman conquest of their territories. A very different
type of slavery is envisioned in Leviticus 25:39-43 – a type of "voluntary servitude" by a destitute person
who trusted his master to house, feed, and otherwise care for him during his service. Which type of
slavery corresponds to being a "slave of sin"? Which corresponds to being a "slave of righteousness"?
Please notice that Paul essentially apologizes for using slavery as an illustration – for everything about
Christianity is opposed to the dehumanizing institution of human bondage. Since so many of the people
who were Christians in Rome likely were slaves, why would he use such an illustration? How does the
language of "slavery" challenge our idea of freedom? What, according to Romans, does it mean for a
person to be "free?" Free to do what?
Paul's second "paradox" of grace is built around marriage. For a married person to be intimate with a
third person is "adultery," for it breaks his or her covenant pledge. But death ends a marriage covenant,
and the living party is free to marry again. Paul argues that someone in solidarity with Adam (i.e., flesh)
is free to be united with Christ (i.e., grace) if he or she has died to the old life.
Romans 7:6 insists that serving God "in the new way of the Spirit" is a marked contrast to the "old way"
that produced chaos in our lives and ends in death. How does the Holy Spirit give Christians a new heart
and a new way of viewing our obedience to the will of God?
The ultimate "paradox" of grace is that God's love motivates us to pursue holiness and to become Christ imitating people. What pain, fear, and pending death could not produce in us – a type of "liberated and voluntary slavery" to holiness – has been embraced because we see in Christ how much God loves us. Close by praying to sense and live within the transforming power of divine love.

How has 13 weeks passed since the first Alabama football game????
I spend most of the summer anxiously waiting for football and I say the same thing every year. Once football season starts, it will FLY by. And its so true. After today, we will hopefully enjoy playoff and bowl season, but this is the final game of regular season. It has been an AMAZING year for the Tide and I can't wait to see what happens.
As far as rivalries go, this one is in the top 5 in the country. This is from the Huffington Post.
When you're talking about the biggest rivalry in college football, the Iron Bowl between Alabama and Auburn is always near the top of the list. Though the game has been played since 1893, there has only been one tie. In recent years, fans have made headlines for their over-the-top antics. An Alabaman Crimson Tide fan will soon face felony charges for allegedly poisoning a pair of oak trees on the Auburn campus. While I think that's crossing the line, it's hard to not be a fan of all the funny T-shirts this rivalry produces. If you think you can come up with something better, you can always make your own.
The game on Thanksgiving weekend is serious business. If a team is having a bad year and can still beat their opponent, everyone considers that a winning season. For the loser of the game…it's a year of suffering the taunts. We don't like to lose.
Edit: Game over and it was a doozy! We won by a lot and that includes putting in the second, third, and 4th strings in after the first 3 minutes of the 3rd quarter. I'm pretty sure that the coach for Auburn is going to get canned before the weekend is over. And that's pretty sad considering Auburn won the National Championship in 2010.
Next up: SEC Championship in Atlanta December 1st!

Panasonic debuts high-powered photovoltaic module HIT® N330 for UK and European markets, sets new module efficiency record
Panasonic Eco Solutions announced today the launch of the powerful photovoltaic module HIT® N330, the latest addition to the company's high-efficiency heterojunction photovoltaic module product line. The new module, which will be available in the UK and other European markets from March 2016, will be introduced at Solar Energy UK, taking place October 13-15 in Birmingham.
Manufactured at Panasonic's state-of-the-art, vertically integrated solar fabrication facilities in Malaysia, HIT® N330 features 19.7% module-level efficiency and a nominal power output of 330 watts. The new 96-cell module returns approximately 27% more peak-power compared to mainstream 260-watt multicrystalline modules. Because of the increased power for the same number of modules and used roof area from an N330-equipped array, installers can benefit from significantly lower balance of systems costs on residential and commercial installations.
"Featuring the same unparalleled quality, reliable performance and industry-leading temperature coefficient as Panasonic's popular N245 and N285 HIT® series, HIT® N330 offers even higher energy density per square meter and reduces the total number of modules required, making it ideal for European 'self-consumption' markets," said Daniel Roca, senior business developer at Panasonic Eco Solutions Europe. "For solar installers, the high-performance HIT® N330, represents the ideal complement to their existing Panasonic Solar portfolio, delivering the missing tool to achieve more power on any roof and to maximise balance of systems savings and lower installation costs."
In addition to the introduction of HIT® N330, Panasonic announced the achievement of a new world-record module conversion efficiency of 22.5% on a commercial-sized prototype prototype using solar cells based on mass-production technology. The test results were confirmed by the renowned Japanese National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). The 72-cell, 270-watt prototype incorporates newly developed enhanced technology that will eventually be scaled into volume production.
This new record on module-level efficiency adds to the 25.6% efficiency record achieved last year at cell-level. "The new panel efficiency record demonstrates once again Panasonic's proven leadership in photovoltaics and our ongoing commitment to move the needle in advanced solar technology," Roca added.
Panasonic will be showcasing the new HIT® N330 and discussing the new conversion efficiency record at Stand P52 at Solar Energy UK. The event takes place October 13-15 at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham.
Panasonic Corporation is a worldwide leader in the development and engineering of electronic technologies and solutions for customers in residential, non-residential, mobility and personal applications. Since its founding in 1918, the company has expanded globally and now operates over 500 consolidated companies worldwide, recording consolidated net sales of 7.74 trillion yen (57.74 billion Euro) for the year ended March 31, 2014. Committed to pursuing new value through innovation across divisional lines, the company strives to create a better life and a better world for its customers.

With Dr. Sook-Kyung Lee
Amid a global health crisis and increasing divisions across communities and nations, we are collectively facing new and urgent questions on what it means to think and act on a transnational, planetary level while also being firmly rooted and committed to the local.
In this talk, Dr. Sook-Kyung Lee (Senior Curator, International Art, Tate Modern) shares how the Tate's Hyundai Tate Research Centre: Transnational (HTRC:T) engenders curatorial questioning of the geopolitics of global art histories, as well the museum's collections in a decolonial context.
Over the last two decades following the establishment of Tate Modern, Tate's collection has grown in its cultural and geographic scope to present a more global art history to its audiences.
The HTRC:T was founded in 2019 as a hub for museum-based curatorial and art historical research, where the phenomenon of 'transnational' runs as a continuum to examine, review and reframe art histories and curatorial methods.

Q: Error in CakePHP 3 when generating XML View "error on line 1 at column 6 XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document" I have spent some hours trying to fix following issue when generating an XML output using CakePHP 3. I am trying to expose the Bookmarks Tutorial data in JSON and XML; JSON view works perfectly when I use: /bookmarker/bookmarks.json but... when I try to use this URL: /bookmarker/bookmarks.xml I have this response:

This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
  Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

The view source looks like this:

Some people says this error is because of a blank line at the end of any PHP file. I am pretty sure I don't have any blank line in: AppController.php, routes.php and BookmarksController.php
This is my configuration:
1) My routes.php
Router::scope('/', function ($routes) {
    // Connect the default routes.
    $routes->fallbacks('InflectedRoute');

    // This allows us to have a RESTful Route for BookmarksController
    $routes->extensions(['json', 'xml']);
    $routes->resources('Bookmarks');
    $routes->resources('Tags');
});

2) My BookmarksController.php
public function index()
    {
        $this->paginate = [
            'contain' => ['Users'],
            'conditions' => [
                'Bookmarks.user_id' => $this->Auth->user('id'),
            ]
        ];
        $this->set('bookmarks', $this->paginate($this->Bookmarks));
        $this->set('_serialize', ['bookmarks']);
    }

3) In my AppController.php
public function initialize()
    {
        parent::initialize();
        $this->loadComponent('Flash');

        // Component to enable REST responses
        $this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');

        $this->loadComponent('Auth', [
            'authorize' => 'Controller', // We will be creating a custom autorization method (see isAuthorized() bellow)
            'authenticate' => [
                'Form' => [
                    'fields' => [
                        'username' => 'email',
                        'password' => 'password'
                    ]
                ]
            ],
            'loginAction' => [
                'controller' => 'Users',
                'action' => 'login'
            ],
            'unauthorizedRedirect' => $this->referer()

A Ground in the Air
48 × 60 inches (121.9 × 152.4 cm)
Eileen Quinlan's staged and evocative photographs consider how the hand of the artist expresses itself in the photographic medium. Her work touches upon a wide range of subjects, from feminism, parenting, and aging to "screen culture" and existentialism. Early in her career, Quinlan was interested in the seductive qualities of a photograph: for example, how advertisements enticingly stage products to stimulate desire. This was part of Quinlan's broader interest in "constructed" or, as the artist declares, "non-straight" images. Her images are not "trafficking in truth" but rather explore intervention and subjectivity through process and experimentation.
A Ground in the Air, whose title comes from a biography of the 19th century photographer Nadar, is a near-accidental composition combining multiple strategies. The artist shot a piece of canvas hanging on the wall with 4x5 Polaroid-type 55 film, and then manipulated the physical negatives to create the photograph. She etched on the negatives, stuck them together when they were wet, and then pulled them apart once dried, breaking the emulsion. The artist's experimental process creates a palpable dynamism throughout the composition, particularly with the inscribed etches and the corners of this odd central "shape" pointing outside of the frame. The scratches and tears—both literal and visual—may echo Roland Barthes' idea of the punctum in his seminal text Camera Lucida as something that grabs and affects viewers. A Ground in the Air, along with many of the artist's other works, are more than what they appear, enticing you to consider and look closely as the work.
The ICA/Boston organized Quinlan's first solo museum presentation in 2009, marking the museum's early commitment to this artist. Within the museum's strong collection of photography, this seemingly non-figurative work by Quinlan diversifies our holdings. The artist's focus on process and composition possesses a painterly intuition, bringing this work into dialogue with photographic works by Sandro Cinto and collages by Charline von Heyl.

Q: Get day from DateTime using C# Silly question. Given a date in a datetime and I know it's tuesday for instance how do i know its tue=2 and mon=1 etc...
Thanks

A: if you want to find out the name of the day, you can do this as follows:
DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek

Response.Write(DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek);

A: DayOfWeek is an Enum. To get the integer instead of the string representation you can cast it
int i = (int)d.DayOfWeek

A: You are looking for the DayOfWeek property.
Then, as Dan suggests in the comment below, just look at the integer value of the enum to get the day as integer:
int d = (int)System.DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek

A: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.dayofweek.aspx

A: DateTime.DayOfWeek

A: Yes DateTime has DayOfWeek() method.

A: I use:
int day = (int)System.DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek;
string dayoftheweek;

In the public partial class Form :
System.Windows.Forms.Form class

(For a c# winforms application)

A:  DateTime dt = Convert.ToDateTime (txtMaxDate.Value); /*Store date in dt */
int day = dt.Day; /*Get date as (01-01-2019 then it will give 01 as day)*/

A: label3.Text = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.ToString();

A: DayOfWeek today = new DateTime().DayOfWeek;
Console.WriteLine(today);


We are truly passionate about videos. We believe that every moment is precious and deserve to be seen forever. Films are like time machines, they can bring you back to your favorite moments all over again. As the days went by, we realized that life is so fragile and sometimes photographs are simply not enough. So we´re always studing and trying to get better and specializing in this beautiful universe that is filmmaking.


Mobile is truly the driving force behind the Consumer Electronics Show this year -- similar to the PC 10 years ago -- but it's also a dangerous world. So we set off to find a few of the best technologies to keep you and your smartphone safe.
Tech 21 is a company that has licensed D3O technology for smartphone cases. It's a putty-like substance that instantly hardens when it's under intense pressure, which makes its $35 cases ideal for absorbing impact from drops.
Then there's Liquipel for the inside of your phone. Liquipel applies its nano-coating inside a phone to waterproof it. The service has been on the market for a few months, but until this year you had to send your phone through the mail to have it done. Soon Liquipel will rent its machines to retailers who will be able to apply the waterproofing in store for $60.
But there are dangers out there for people, too.
Samsung's newest HD Security System provides a much sharper picture than previous generations -- the improved resolution means the difference between being able to read the license plate on a car outside your house and having to settle for the make and model. The improved cameras are due in March, with do-it-yourself kits starting at about $1,000.
The 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Cobra's iRadar radar detection system is now 35 percent smaller and able to fit under the hood where curious eyes can't see it. Meanwhile it connects with a phone to do its duty -- when other iRadar users identify speed traps and other hazards, they show up on your smartphone map.
And at a more personal level, Masimo, a company that has made professional medical equipment for 24 years, now has a $250 accessory that reads your blood oxygen, heart rate and more, and displays the real-time data on your phone. I'd call it peace of mind for hypochondriacs everywhere.


In yet another move to slowly indicate that it's coming, T-Mobile's site now has a "Coming Soon" page up and running for the Samsung Galaxy S 4G.
Similar to what we see with other handsets, the arrival of a "Coming Soon" page clearly indicates that an eventual launch isn't too far off in the distance. With MWC right around the corner, you know that this one will undoubtedly get the full unveiling treatment – with a release close at hand. So far, all eyes point to February 23rd as being the day when we'll all see this next-generation Android powered smartphone.
Upon checking out the site, some might be thrilled to see the "add to cart" button, but it's greyed out for now. So in the mean time though, we can do nothing more than stare and drool over the page as we wait for its inevitable release.


Rarely allocated outside East Anglia, scrapping of the class recommenced in 1947 and just 127 locomotives were handed over to British Rail, by the LNER, in 1948. Seventy one engines made it through to British Rail re-numbering in the 60,000 number series, the last four being withdrawn from service on September 16, 1962.
