Government's Secret UFO Program Funded Research on Wormholes and Extra Dimensions
Paranormal Globe - Paul January 21, 2019 2,762 Views
Documents released by the Department of Defense reveal some of what its infamous Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program was working on.
The Department of Defense funded research on wormholes, invisibility cloaking, and "the manipulation of extra dimensions" under its shadowy Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, first described in 2017 by the New York Times and the Washington Post.
On Wednesday, the Defense Intelligence Agency released a list of 38 research titles pursued by the program in response to a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by Steven Aftergood, director of the Federation of American Scientists' Project on Government Secrecy.
The list provides one of the best looks at the Pentagon's covert UFO operation or study of "anomalous aerospace threats." According to Aftergood's FOIA request, the document marked "For Official Use Only" was sent to Congress on January 2018.
One such research topic, "Traversable Wormholes, Stargates, and Negative Energy," was led by Eric W. Davis of EarthTech International Inc, which describes itself as a facility "exploring the forefront reaches of science and engineering," with an interest in theories of spacetime, studies of the quantum vacuum, and the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.
Another project called "Invisibility Cloaking" was helmed by German scientist Ulf Leonhardt, a professor at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Israel. Leonhardt's research pertains to theoretical quantum optics, and in 2006 his work on theoretically creating "an invisible 'hole' in space, inside which objects can be hidden" was cited byNature.
Yet another title, "Warp Drive, Dark Energy, and the Manipulation of Extra Dimensions," was attributed to theoretical physicist Richard Obousy, director of the nonprofit Icarus Interstellar, which claims to be "researching technologies that will enable breakthroughs in interstellar travel." Obousy was credited by Gizmodo in 2009 for creating "a scientifically accurate warpship design" that could hypothetically be propelled through space by manipulating dark energy.
"The list of research papers tells us something more than previous reporting did about this odd program," Aftergood told Motherboard in an email. "Now we have a better idea of exactly what the Defense Intelligence Agency was up to, and what it produced."
Other items are tantalizingly vague since we only have one-line descriptions of their scope. One that states "Metallic Glasses" could refer to an experimental type of flexible metallic alloy, while the topic "Biomaterials" could mirror NASA-funded research into biotechnology in low-gravity environments.
The Pentagon document however, while full of speculative ideas that seem better suited for science fiction, suggests the program was more than just chasing UFOs.
The Department of Defense had not publicly acknowledged the program's existence until it was revealed by media reports. It was "largely funded at the request of Harry Reid," then Senate majority leader, to the tune of $22 million between 2007 and 2012.
We don't know how the program selected which projects to fund.
"I think anyone who looks at these titles will scratch their heads and wonder what on earth the Defense Intelligence Agency was thinking," Aftergood said. "These are the kinds of topics you pursue when you have more money than you know what to do with."
According to the New York Times, much of its budget went to the Nevada-based Bigelow Aerospace, a company belonging to Reid's longtime friend and UFO hunter, Robert Bigelow—also a protagonist of the documentary Hunt for the Skinwalker about the billionaire entrepreneur's famed extraterrestrial hotbed, Skinwalker Ranch.
The first hints about the program's existence can be credited to Luis Elizondo, a military intelligence official who managed the operation for seven years. When Elizondo resigned, he requested that footage of UFO encounters with fighter jets be made public-videos that were subsequently published by the New York Times and the Washington Post. At the time, Reid sought to tighten security around the program's discoveries.
The agency claims the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program shut down due to a lack of funding, though Elizondo said it continued to investigate UFO sightings.
In a 2009 Pentagon briefing summary, the program's then-director stated that "what was considered science fiction is now science fact."
"I loved science fiction when I was younger," Aftergood said. "Today I love good government. So I was not especially amused."

URLA Preferred Language Question — More Flip-Flopping
By Laurence E. Platt & Tori K. Shinohara
The saga over whether to include a controversial "preferred language" question on the new redesigned Uniform Residential Loan Application (URLA) continues. Last week, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) changed course yet again and decided to remove the language preference question from the redesigned URLA. Instead, the question will be moved to a separate, optional consumer information form that will not be part of the URLA.
The preferred language question would ask all mortgage applicants (using the GSEs' form) to indicate their language preference when completing the application. The history of this controversial question dates back several years. We previously commented on developments related to the preferred language question in July 2017 and October 2017. In August 2016, the FHFA decided not to move forward with a plan to include a language preference question in the redesigned URLA due, in part, to strong industry opposition. A year later, after requesting public comments on the preferred language question through a formal RFI process, the FHFA announced in October 2017 that it would include a modified version of the proposed preferred language question in the revised URLA. In an attempt to allay industry concerns about the operational and legal consequences of collecting information on applicants' language preferences, the final version of the question included additional disclaimer language advising applicants that the loan transaction is likely to be conducted in English and that communications in the applicants' preferred language may not be available. Mandatory use of the redesigned URLA was originally set for February 2020.
Under new leadership, the FHFA has changed course again and decided to move the preferred language question from the URLA to a separate, optional form. Although this change helps mitigate some of the risks associated with including a question on language preference on the mortgage application itself, it does not alleviate such risks completely. For example, it is still unclear what – if anything – a lender is required to do with the language-preference information it collects. And there continues to be a risk that applicants themselves will be confused or misled by the preferred language question, especially applicants with limited English proficiency. Moreover, the FHFA cannot control how other government agencies, private plaintiffs, or consumer groups may seek to use the language-preference information collected.
The deadline for mandatory use of the redesigned URLA will no longer be February 1, 2020. The new deadline for implementation has not yet been announced.

MADISON, Wisc. (AP) — Shyanne Sellers scored 13 points in the first quarter and matched a career best with 21 points as No. 11 Maryland cruised to a 77-64 victory over Wisconsin on Thursday night.
Maryland (15-4, 6-2 Big Ten) built a double-digit lead five minutes in and led 28-15 at the end of the first quarter. Sellers was 5 of 7 from the field and 3 of 4 from long distance. She finished 9-of-12 shooting from the floor and grabbed seven rebounds.
A 6-0 spurt pulled Wisconsin within 37-27 with 1:10 to play in the second quarter but the Badgers didn't get closer. The Terrapins led by as many as 22 points in the second half.
Diamond Miller added 19 points for Maryland, which has won eight of its last nine games and all 12 games in the series with Wisconsin. Faith Masonius had 11 points and Brinae Alexander 10 for the Terrapins.
Avery LaBarbera scored 16 points and made four 3-pointers for Wisconsin (6-13, 2-6). Brooke Schramek added 13 points and Serah Williams has 12.
On Sunday, Maryland plays at Nebraska and Wisconsin is on the road against Penn State.

I don't intend to range through all the issues that have appeared during this time, but simply to have a look at Freedom as it was at about the time I began to read it and then to have a look at it as it is now. For this I shall compare two issues — one for March 9, 1946 and the other for July 8, 1967.
The main theme of the 1946 issue was the imperative need for the workers and peasants, the masses, to bring about a social revolution. In an article called "India- the Menace of Famine", we were told that "The setting up of workers' and peasants' committees to administer the land and industry for the benefit of all and the relief of starvation; these are the constructive necessities of the time." Another article on the situation in France announced that the "French workers begin to understand" and that the chances of "revolutionary minorities have become preponderant." And the Egyptian masses have to "understand their true role and take a really revolutionary path, overstepping the infantile fallacies of nationalism." While the author of an article on conscription said that "The one fear apparent in the government (as it is the fear of all tyrants) is the fear of the people themselves. They dread that the masses will rise against the existing order and establish a society of peace and equality wherein liberty becomes a cornerstone and not a crime." And George Woodcock indicted the "petty bourgeois" outlook of the Levelers
which made them concerned to create a society of small proprietors and to deny with pathetic vigor the anarchist communist doctrines preached by Winstanley and the Diggers. Winstanley's social vision, combined with the revolutionary vigor of the Levellers and expressed in widespread direct action in the taking over of land, might have brought real freedom to England and changed the history of the world.
Have you ever given any thought as to what happened to all these pious hopes?
Did the Indian masses do as you suggested? Were they even interested enough to listen? How much nearer are the Egyptian masses to the real "revolutionary path'? Do you think that their recent hosannas for Nasser showed they have "overstepped" nationalism? And the French workers—the once white hope of Bakunin and Kropotkin have they understood? Is de Gaulle trembling in his shoes at the impending rising of "the people themselves" who will "establish a society of peace and equality"? Were these hopes any different from Woodcock's retrospective speculations as to what would have been if the Levellers had done as he said they should have done 300 years later?
I have not noticed any serious analysis by you as to why these hopes remained pious. No doubt in the heady, disillusioned atmosphere just after World War 2 they were understandable. I know, I shared them. But over twenty years have passed and they are littered with the ruins of shattered hopes and exploded wishes. Yet even in those days a dissident voice was heard disturbing the euphoria of the approaching revolution. A reader wrote:
Strikes, syndicalism, and class war mean little in themselves. Class war is a fact, but has, in my view, little direct connection with anarchism which knows no classes and certainly is not (either historically or actually) very representative of working class aspirations .....
But you took little notice of such an argument then and seem to have forgotten it altogether now if your back page is any guide, nor, indeed, the front page of the July 8th issue for this year. Here there is an article on Aden which reads like a rehash of the 1946 articles. Once again, the solution is "a revolution, not only in the Aden territories, but throughout the Arab states to ensure that the wealth from oil monopolies, at present held by a small minority, is used for the benefit of the whole population." I would be interested to hear what response you get from the Adeni masses. Not to be outdone the back page features a report from Japan in which it is stated that the "majority of the people of Japan" want the war in Vietnam to end. The writer does not say how he reached this conclusion, and I doubt very much if he could.
So the theme of the people in revolt continues to be plugged. What have you got to show for it after twenty years? Indeed, I could say after eighty years, since you and your predecessors have sung the same song since 1886 when the first issue of Freedom appeared.
What is your answer to this? Where are the forces for your revolution and how are you going to organize them? After all, if the Adeni masses need a revolution you might at least spell out to them what it means.
Of course, one line of retreat from your totalistic approach to revolution is to stand with the editor of your brother publication Anarchy when he agrees with Malatesta that libertarian socialism is "only one of the forces acting in society, and history will advance, as always, in the direction of the resultant of all the forces," but if you were to do. this, if you junked the proletarian myth, as the logical carrying out of this view would entail, then bang goes your creed of social salvation, whether in the form of being washed in the blood of the social revolution or the progressive revelation of gradual enlightenment. Malatesta, however, was no pioneer of permanent protest, as this quotation might suggest, since he believed that One Day the particular social force he favored would triumph over all the others. But he almost hit the bull's eye that time.
People like you have been denounced as "enemies of society". No doubt you would indignantly deny being such and claim that you are trying to save society from the vampire of the State. You delude yourselves. Insofar as "society" means an organized collectivity having one basic norm of behavior that must be accepted by all (and that includes your libertarian communist utopia) and insofar as the norm is a product of the average, the crowd, the mediocre, then anarchists are always enemies of society. There is no reason to suppose that the interests of the free individual and' the interests of the social machine will ever harmonize, nor is it desirable that they should. Permanent conflict between the two is the only perspective that makes any sense to me. But I expect that you will not see this, that you will continue to hope that if you repeat "the free society is possible" enough times then it will become so.
One day, however, some of you may grasp that the world does not go the way you think it should. You will then either give up and go along with the present social Lie, or shrug off the accumulated pipe-dreams of both it and the hope of social salvation and make yourselves, your living egos, the bedrocks of your lives. An anarchist is someone who acknowledges no authority, not even that of Anarchy. Maybe he cannot deny or destroy the existence of archism, but he can refuse to be its creature, he can be his own, belonging to neither god nor Man, neither Society nor the State. This, at least, I have learnt during these twenty years.


Let's face it; with a simple search on the internet for professional porter services, you will get a long list of businesses that provide professional porter services. The challenging part is finding one that suits your needs or one that will deliver beyond your expectations. Obtaining the best commercial cleaner will not only guarantee you of best results but will also give you a piece of mind.
If truth be told, industrial cleaners are trained to offer different cleaning services such as perimeter cleaning and other services that your enterprise might need. For example, if you have a large store front and would like to transform it into an amazing landscape gardening, your industrial cleaner will know exactly how to transform your space to your preference.
Find out if there are satisfied customers – First and foremost, you need to know whether or not your preferred company has a list of satisfied customers. Know what folks out there have to say about your company. And if you find that there is more negative feedback than positive, it is best that you keep shopping until you get a company that most people are pleased with.
Compare the cost of services vs. the tools and equipment used – In more than one occasion, you might come across different companies whose cost of cleaning services is the same. When that happens, go for a cleaning company that uses the best tools and equipment and one with more experience. Even when the price is the same, there are companies that will ensure that everything that is dirty is cleaned up, so experience and quality of services should be your deciding factor on this.
Find out if the company is licensed to run the business – As we all know, there are hundreds of complaints that people out there have regarding fake businesses. Therefore, before making your decision on the company to outsource porter services from, ensure that the company is licensed and is recognized by the law to provide the services.
Porter services are very important for any enterprise. And because they take time and money, you need to ensure that you have hired the best company; a company that will give you good value for your money.

A Salty September in Hallstatt (by Mike Baker)
A Salty September in Hallstatt (by Mike Baker) September 20, 2018
September is a perfect time to visit Europe. School-age children are back at their books, the number of summer tour buses has dwindled, and the high season for European vacations has officially ended.
Featuring serenity, salt, Celts, and cattle, Hallstatt is one of Europe's most charming and historically significant villages. What was once an important hub town for salt production is now a picturesque Alpine getaway and a premier destination for European archaeologists. Hallstatt's salty sediment has preserved a vast collection of artifacts from the Iron Age (about 2,800 years ago), causing this waterfront beauty to be named a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997.
Hallstatt is a perfect model of an Alpine lake town. Nestled beside the lovely Hallstätter See (or Lake), the cluster of quaint buildings rises up the slopes of the Dachstein massif to the west and south.
Salt mining has always been a part of Hallstatt's history, which dates back to the Neolithic period. Above the village, accessed via a funicular, lies a prehistoric salt mine and cemetery nestled into a narrow valley.
Discovered in 1846, the cemetery contains nearly 1,000 graves and 20,000 preserved artifacts —notably iron swords and daggers – representing the transition from Europe's Bronze Age into the Iron Age. Known as the Hallstatt Culture, this period between 800-600 B.C. is regarded as the origin of the Celtic people, who eventually settled—and whose language still exists today—in modern Ireland.
Halstatt's early inhabitants enjoyed a high standard of living – salt brought wealth! Along with riches, the region's brackish soil also provided an excellent preservative of archeological evidence for future generations to uncover. Wood, textiles, fur, articles of leather, even the remains of prehistoric cuisine have all been found here. Ritschert (a stew of barley, millet, broad beans, and pork) once enjoyed by famished salt miners in the Eastern Alps can still be sampled in local restaurants.
Today, many of the artifacts and the meticulous watercolor drawings of the burials – known as "Ramsaeur's Protokoll" -- can be viewed at the Hallstatt Museum, one of the main reasons Hallstatt bears its UNESCO World Heritage site status.
Each September in the alpine pastures surrounding Hallstatt, local farmers drive their cattle down from the alms — pronounced "I'm" — to lower valleys before the winter arrives. If you are lucky enough to be in the area at this time, witnessing this fall custom is a must-see. Locals don traditional trachten and decorate cows that have produced the most milk in a lavish floral display. Many villages and towns in the area hold festivals to celebrate this ancestral tradition.


There was a massive turnout at last night's Cabinet meeting. Very nearly a full house of Councillors and the usual four members of the public squeezed into the Council Chamber, Tories sitting cheek by jowl with Labour members, all to hear the new slimline Teresa O'Neill stage manage the budget proposals.
And stage managed it was, the script was a corker but the underlying story was closer to scam.
It began with Alison Griffin delivering her formal address.
The future is uncertain she said and public finances are under pressure however the Council has shown that it can cope. 95% of the savings programme for this year has already been delivered.
The Council signed up for the four year deal with Government and the settlement was largely as anticipated, however there has been a reduction in the New Homes Bonus and some rearrangements to the Social Care precept (the extra 2% on Council Tax). Houses built only after a successful planning appeal will not attract the New Homes Bonus. Do I detect a Government trying to influence planning decisions again?
Overall the Government support grant has been reduced by 30% this year. Extensive adjustments to an Excel spreadsheet led Ms. Griffin to her proposal that Bexley's Council Tax rate should increase by the maximum allowable amount of 1·99% plus 2% Social Care precept for the second consecutive year. There will be no call on reserves.
Lord Massey of Rochester, the Cabinet Member for Finance Don Massey said that local authorities generally - and he referred to Surrey County Council which has proposed a 15% tax increase - "are in a precarious place" but "Bexley remains in reasonable shape". In a reference to the London Living Wage he said "well meaning but ultimately rash decisions in finance terms" should be avoided.
Bexley continues to be given "a relatively low amount from Government compared to other boroughs and we continue to lobby for a fairer allocation but in contrast to other authorities we will not need a massive increase in tax to balance our books next year. Keeping tax as low as possible is the right and proper thing to do".
However you can be absolutely certain that that won't stop Bexley tying for top place (worst) in London when setting Council Tax for next year.
The actual rate will be announced at the next Cabinet Meeting on 20th February.
Councilor Craske then adopted his best showman persona to announce the plans he had for his portfolio. It was a cross between a Petticoat Lane stall holder selling his wares at knock down prices and a Chancellor with pre-election money to give away, money previously stolen from a gullible public.
He said he was going to make the borough cleaner (didn't he slash the street cleaning budget a couple of years ago?), greener (who was it who stopped all tree planting?) and safer (he stopped routine monitoring of the CCTV).
To address the safety issues he was going to spend an extra £135,000 on community safety. After a shaky start on Food Safety Bexley has got back on course and the Food Safety Team is going to get another £48,000 for an extra member of staff.
Friends Groups, like the one running Sidcup's Walled Garden, will collectively get another £40,000 in 2017/18.
The borough's 18 car parks are cleaned twice a week at a cost of £40,000 a year but the multi-storeys are almost inevitably filthy by design. They will be taken out of the £40,000 budget, given a deep clean and redecorated. Another £83,000 this year and £43,000 thereafter.
The grass cutting budget which was slashed barely a year ago is to be raised by £50,000 Craske teasingly said, but no, make that £90,000.
The tree budget of £40,000 scrapped soon after the Tories came to power is to be reinstated. He couldn't equal that Councillor Craske said, and reaching for a pair of fluffy ears deep inside his top hat, announced it would be raised to £70,000 by 2018/19. "It will transform our borough. it will be far greener and healthier" he said apparently unaware of the several sites of scientific interest which are succumbing to the bulldozers.
The four main town centres are swept daily and this will be improved following the acquisition of a new street cleaning vehicle capable of deep cleaning. It will be able to thoroughly clean the main shopping centres "every single week" and the lesser ones at least once a month. He is looking for a name for it. Any ideas?
£243,000 has been allocated to the cleaning of residential streets.
He was "proud of these proposals" and in a characteristic wind up of the opposition members said he "couldn't imagine any one of them being against these proposals".
And where do you think that money has suddenly come from? Well I think it was Cabinet Member Philip Read who gave the game away when he made a distinction (I will check the recording later) between compulsory taxes and voluntary taxes.
The latter will be a none too subtle reference to the additional stealth taxes imposed on residents in recent months. The few figures available at this early stage suggest that the litter wardens and the Welling Yellow Money Boxes are raising enough to cover all of Peter Craske's prestidigitation.
He has pulled a cunning stunt which part of me admires in the same way that I sort of admire the criminal minds who got him off the blogging rap. But I think I would admire him more if he had pulled the stunt a few years ago and spent the money on vital services such as SEN children or making sure youths don't riot in Northumberland Heath. But you don't notice these things every day of the week, more trees and footpaths free of chewing gum may well be a vote winner and that is what it is all about.

Here, Have Two New Final Fantasy Trailers
Ladies and gentlemen, for your viewing convenience, two brand new Final Fantasy trailers.
Exhibit A: Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII, a dress-up sim with RPG elements that's out for PS3 and 360 in February. I'm psyched about this one—what I've played so far seems quite promising.
Exhibit B: Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2, two RPGs, one with dress-up elements, that are out (again) on PS3 and Vita this winter. They're both great games, and experiencing them in HD will likely be delightful:
Feel that? Yep, that's what it's like to be excited about Final Fantasy again.
SavingPrincess
Remember when Final Fantasy games were just Final Fantasy games and they didn't try to milk each numbered iteration for an additional 3 games?

Said to be the first of its kind, Logitech earlier this month has announced a brand new gaming mouse called the Logitech G502 Proteus Core. Equipped with a tuneable 12,000 dpi infra-red sensor that can also be switched on-the-fly, users are also able to customize the mouse's weight and balance through the five 3.6g weights within its cavity.
Not enough with that, Proteus Core is also built with a 32-bit ARM processor that controls the mouse on-board memory which allows gamers to store their button settings, commands, and macros. Coming soon to our market later this month, gamers out there are now able to pre-order this latest piece of engineering from Logitech right from Lowyat.NET's own online shop, Storekini.
What's the cost then? Well, Storekini is offering it at RM 239 but gamers are able to obtain further discount of RM 10 by entering STOREKINIG502 promo code when they placed their orders for the new gaming mouse at Storekini.

Assessment of abdominal pain in children

Urgent considerations
Paediatric abdominal pain is a common problem that often poses a diagnostic dilemma. The vast majority of episodes are benign and self-limiting, but persistent abdominal pain may signify an underlying pathology requiring urgent intervention. Acute abdominal pain can also be caused by a wide range of conditions, some of which are emergencies (e.g., acute appendicitis). Timely assessment and intervention are critical in children presenting with abdominal pain.
A broad spectrum of aetiologies can cause abdominal pain, and diagnosis can be challenging. In most cases, a thorough history and physical examination can narrow the differential diagnoses. Additional investigations may be required to confirm the diagnosis.
Furthermore, even with the assistance of parents or guardians, a comprehensive history is often difficult to obtain, and diagnosis therefore relies heavily on the clinical acumen of the practitioner.

Critical Heritage and Photography

Critical Heritage and Photography. Panel P11 at conference RAI2014: Anthropology and Photography.
This panel examines the interrelationship of heritage and photography. Drawing on concepts from anthropology, archaeology, museology and memory studies, critical heritage offers a potent lens through which to question the role of photography in shaping the affective power of the past in the present
This panel will re-examine the complex interrelationship of heritage and photography from a variety of socio-cultural, historical, and theoretical perspectives. Since its inception, photography has been part of what we would now define as 'heritage practice,' whether deployed to survey historic sites, document cultural practices, or as an aide memoire for travellers and tourists. To some extent, the concurrent emergence of heritage and photography within the modern period may even speak of an elective affinity between the two. More recently, a focus on heritage as process has shifted attention away from the monumental and towards the role of heritage in everyday settings. From this perspective we may interrogate the photo-album as crucial to personal heritage, or the importance of social media and online sharing as they open up new opportunities for the construction of heritage by re-contextualising old photographs (e.g. HistoryPin). Despite these noteworthy intersections, photography remains a largely under-theorised topic within critical heritage studies. This panel will seek to address this shortcoming. A key point of departure here will be recent calls for the interdisciplinary field of heritage to look beyond issues of discourse and the politics of representation and consider instead the 'affective qualities' of the past in the present (Harrison 2013). To this end, papers will focus less on aesthetics to examine issues more familiar to anthropology - including bodily experience, memory and processes of meaning-making. To borrow from Edwards (2012), our interest lies not in isolated images, but in the 'photography complex' of critical heritage

Harrisburg — Senator Mario Scavello (R-40) has introduced legislation, Senate Bill 855, to improve community planning through the inclusion of data on planned communities in county reports.
The legislation follows a study by the Joint State Government Commission of the impact of planned communities, formerly known as Common Interest Ownership Communities (CIOCs), on the Commonwealth and its local governments.
The study uncovered an absolute lack of readily available and transparent government information on CIOCs across Pennsylvania. While it is estimated that 2.8 million Pennsylvania residents are in a CIOC and that roughly 80 percent of new housing starts since 2000 are CIOCs, the actual number and location of these communities is unknown.
CIOC name, physical locations, land area, lot size and number of units.
Infrastructure, including sanitary sewer, water and storm water systems.
Dedication of roadways including roads built to specification.
Common infrastructure and recreation facilities.
The senator introduced similar legislation in 2013 as a member of the House of Representatives.


The holiday of Passover and the Seder in particular remind us to be grateful and to give thanks for all we have. Our well-known tune Dayenu reminds us of all the times G-d helped us in amazing ways, and of how ungrateful we were, always demanding more. Passover is, therefore, our opportunity to make up for this by showing how grateful we were and still are, every step of the journey.
On the night of the Seder the gates of the heavens are open, and we raise our glasses filled with wine and say L'chaim. On a personal level, this is when Ettie and I express thanks to our incredible family: yes, our Naples/ Marco Mishpacha for every step of this amazing journey. A mere 16 years ago we came to this beautiful place called Naples and today we have a growing and beautiful family, and we will spend the time at the Seder to go back and reflect on all the incredible angels who have given so much, who have been here for our community, for Chabad Naples and for us. We say thank you.
Our sincere repeated thanks will never be enough.
Passover is also the time when we are blessed with spiritual freedom to allow us to rise above and "Passover" the confusion and worry stemming from the challenges we face in daily life. This year, more so than other years perhaps, Passover comes just on time. Enjoy its rich traditions, observe it's sacred customs. It will afford you much needed energy of joy and liberation to savor year-round.
As we commemorate our first journey home, from Eygpt to the land of Israel, we pray for our Holy Land Eretz Yisrael and its people, Am Yisrael, that for once and for all - they, all those who dwell in her borders and her neighbors beyond, be freed from the tyranny of terrorism striking fear in the hearts of its innocent, and may the land secure in its physical borders and its people secure in their spiritual purpose, be a light unto the nations.
We pray for the children of the world, the tragically suffering children of Syria, the hunger-stricken of Africa, the refugees in Europe and beyond, and indeed all of G-d's children across the world, that they be endowed with a spirit of freedom from the oppression around them and be given the chance to live their lives in peace and dignity.
Let us use this opportunity to tap in to our inner Moses, taking a step forward in our own lives, to live a more present, conscious, G-dly life; enriching our family experience, uplifting our social value, and expanding our communal contribution to make the world, immediately around us, and beyond, a holier and happier place. We ask Hashem that as we grow and the needs continue, the angels and continued miracles will flow together.
We love you and L'chaim!!!!
Good things certainly come in small packages, when you realize that Israel, one of the smallest countries in the world, could have become the fourth nation to land on the moon. Beresheet - aptly named 'in the beginning - Genesis - ' is unique.
We've often been reminded that it is about the journey and not the destination, but in this case, both are astounding! Israel is only the fourth nation to ever attempt a lunar landing and we have so much to be proud of. Israeli innovation and intelligence continue to punch above its weight on an international scale in the most extraordinary way.
Planning to complete the mission with the message, "Israel - Small Country, Big Dreams", Beresheet was unable to land successfully. As we all waited eagerly to celebrate its success, our excitement turned to disappointment. However, in true Israeli style, they celebrated their success in orbiting the moon and vowed to try again.
We hope and pray, coming just before Passover when we celebrate our freedom, the message of Beresheet is for mankind to strive for the beginning of a new, more loving and tolerant world.
I am very pleased to announce that we have decided to join sister Chabad Centers from across the country and around the world and take part in the Jewish Learning Institute's Land and Spirit Israel Experience, next spring, March 15th-24th, 2020.
This is a great opportunity to see Israel as never before and I know you will want to be part of our delegation from Naples.
I want to extend a personal invitation to join me and fellow members of our community on this trip of a lifetime. Please call me at 239-262-4474 or email rabbi@chabadnaples.com for more information.
May the upcoming Pesach usher in true freedom - personally, communally and globally!
"The honeymoon is over" - how often have we had that anticlimactic sensation when the excitement and romance of an event have passed, and we are faced with the daily nitty gritty and often, at first glance, monotonous incidents in life.
So it is in the Torah: after the thrilling pomp and circumstance of the revelation at Mount Sinai, we settle in to the often tedious, day-to-day events. The reality of life is, we are not always surrounded by a brass band and a party-like atmosphere. We may have our time under the chuppah to dream and marvel at the promise of true and everlasting love only to wake up to the eye-opening reality of " Who left the cap off the toothpaste" and living in close quarters with another individual and perhaps realizing how little we really know about his or her personality or character. That's when we set the honeymoon aside as a lovely memory and get down to the joyous laws for daily life.
Judaism is about how we live each day. It's not just our actions in coming to a synagogue and how we act there, it's how we live daily. Most people have the capacity to spend a few hours weekly 'walking the walk and talking the talk', but how do they behave the rest of the time? It may surprise you to know that Judaism was never meant to be centered around the synagogue, it is a guide to how we behave at home, how we treat our spouse, family and friends, how we treat the poor and how we seek justice in all areas.
This is why immediately following the honeymoon at Mount Sinai, we needed to address our daily lives with Mitzvot, because this is where the magic happens.
Oh we do need the synagogue, trust me on this, along with and in addition to our daily behavior, because it gives us inspiration and empowers us to carry through with our resolutions. We hear from so many people who attend that joining us on Shabbat and throughout the year boosts them to living life at the fullest. We are never alone, surrounded by extended family with similar goals and feelings for Israel.
As we meet with Ambassador Danny Danon tomorrow, Monday, February 18th, we show our support for Israel, built by people who sacrifice on a daily basis so that all of us have a homeland. Part of 'walking the walk' is offering our daily strength and support for events like this.
Will it be the Patriots or the Rams?
As we welcome Shabbos, I want to wish a very special L'chaim to my dear wife Ettie, who is spending this Shabbos in New York together with our daughters Chaya and Hinda.
This weekend is the International Convention for Chabad Women Leaders, and Ettie is getting the rare opportunity to gather with 3,000 of her peers from all over the world for a weekend of inspiration and growth.
For the last 30 years the conference has been held this week, because it coincides with the yahrtzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka Schneerson, wife of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory.
This coming monday, the 22nd of Shevat marks the 31st Yartzeit of Rebbetzin Chaya Mushka, the beloved and saintly wife of the Rebbe. She stood by his side for over 60 years, as he took the helm of the Chabad movement and transformed the world.
Living in an ever changing world where ideals and beliefs change as quickly as the passing time, the Rebbetzin in her unassuming yet profound way taught us that we can each make a difference in our own way, and that we can all partner is the Rebbe's mission of uncovering the Garden that is withing this world as we know it.
The common saying that "behind every successful man is a woman" is not true in our case, as Ettie and I have proudly worked side by side for the past 15 years co-directing Chabad of Naples together as partners. It is with pride that I get to watch as my daughters join their incredible mother and learn from her inspiring leadership.
L'chaim Ettie! L'chaim for everything you do for our Chabad of Naples and for bringing so much joy and love into our community and our home. I hope you enjoy this very special Shabbos and are able to reflect and rejuvenate for another year of growth and leadership.
I look forward to seeing you in Shul tomorrow – your home away from home!
Oftentimes the little things are really big things.
How do strangers become friends? First of all, they gain our trust and make our lives just a little bit brighter and better. My new friend James did that quickly.
During the week, I took Chaya and Hinda to participate in the children's program of the Chabad Women's Conference in New York. It's an amazing experience for them where they can interact with children of Chabad rabbis and rebbitzins from all over the world.
In the freezing cold weather, I thought I had placed my phone in my overcoat pocket, but when I looked for it later, I could not find it. After searching high and low with no success, my last ditch effort was to call the number. How surprised I was that a very polite gentleman answered as if he had been waiting for my call, and in spite of my protests, he insisted on bringing the phone to me in the frigid cold weather.
So grateful to my new friend James for his kindness and for being such a gentleman.This act of thoughtfulness by a real mensch can make a day brighter and restore our joy in the goodness and pleasure of human kindness.
Seeing all the powerful leadership in the women at the Chabad conference lent an incredible warmth to the freezing weather.
It was special to have been there, and it is special to be back home!
I appreciate being back in Naples to enjoy a somewhat warmer climate and to be with the entire Naples family on the weekend! I look forward to seeing you in Shul – your home away from home!
By now you have had the opportunity to test-drive some of your resolutions for the New Year. How are they working for you? Hey, we are only human, and although we may have the best intentions, we all know what can happen as time goes on. Our success depends on how truly committed we are to make changes, and if the changes we attempt are realistically within our capabilities.
While self-care is certainly part of creating a wholesome life, a New Year is complete when we also commit to focusing on spiritual betterment such as G-d's desires and others' needs.
A new year becomes hollow if it's only about resolutions involving the self (think articles on "top resolutions for this new year"— joining a gym, starting a diet, saving money).
A new year becomes full and meaningful when it's about first acknowledging the centrality of God in our lives and the importance of inviting Him in.
Against that backdrop of existential reflection, our resolutions will naturally reflect our desire to strengthen our relationship with God and increase the meaning and purpose in our lives. Certainly these should involve self-care, because we need a strong body and sense of well-being to have the strength to do for others- if I am not for myself, the book of Ethics teaches us, who will be for me? And if I am not there for myself—who will then be there for others? But our resolutions should also include committing to certain acts: calling a relative we don't particularly like (it's easy to talk about social justice but it's truly actualized when we remember our own family members, including the ones who are hard to talk to); giving tzedakah regularly (this can mean having a charity box on our kitchen window sill and dropping in a few coins before dinner, remembering those who have less, and showing our children how to- in my mentor the Rebbe's words- "train the hand to give"); and attending a Torah class (we can't care about ideas that we don't quite know…and this is especially accessible to us with our dear cyber friends Rabbi YouTube and Rabbi Google, all over the world-wide web).
The reason we so often fail to stay the course in our resolutions is that oftentimes, we're fighting a battle we're not strong enough to win- we bite off more than we can chew. But smaller, more doable habits slip right under this resistance.
They're too small to resist. We see this when it comes to material commitments- do you know anyone who went from walking zero miles to five miles a day that still does that a year later? Someone who wanted to get their finances in order that had a paradigm shift in five minutes? But you likely know someone who increased in their exercise gradually and continues to exercise each day, or another who charted a new financial course with a lot of contemplation and care and small changes at first that led to a bigger transformation.
Spiritual commitments are no different- volunteering once a month at your favorite charity; a ready smile for the mailman; dropping those two coins into the charity box once a day; making the decision to begin each morning with gratitude for simply waking up…taken day by day, these small acts generate momentum and ultimately, reprogram our subconscious.
So how can we practically start implementing? By embracing one bite-sized mitzvah that can realistically stick. Allowing our essential oneness with G-d to glow in our day-to-day small actions.
We often underestimate the power of one mitzvah, of one commitment, of one change, of one move, of one gesture, of one act of love, kindness and holiness. We think it is all or nothing. But it was one loving interaction between Moses and G-d at the burning bush that completely impacted the Jewish future and all of humanity, and it can be one action today that can start an endless ripple effect of change.
Once Moses made a commitment to the Jewish people, which began with his care and concern for single individuals, he ultimately was the messenger who delivered them all from a life of Egyptian slavery and despair.
Once we make a commitment to one small resolution, we are ultimately the messengers and agents of even bigger change and redemption for our world. It is bound to happen, because goodness is contagious- people get inspired to do good when they see good.
So where do we start? With one small, ultimately giant step. Shabbat Shalom!
The Hebrew word for breath is Ruach. But Ruach also means "spirit". This passage can be translated as "And they did not listen to Moses out of lack of spirit."
In the history of Egypt not a single slave had ever escaped. How could an entire nation ever walk free? Moses was a dreamer, they thought. It is just not realistic to hold out such high hopes, only to have them dashed yet again. And so the people were utterly despondent and spiritless and, therefore, they could not hear, i.e. absorb, Moses' message.
It happens all too often. People become so set in their mediocrity that they give up hope of ever achieving the breakthrough. This is true for marriages, careers or our spiritual aspirations, we lose the desire to dream.
The Torah is teaching us never to lose our 'spirit', our hopes, our dreams and resolve!
Shabbat Shalom and have a great week ahead!
Without a doubt, Chanukah 2018 at Chabad was the biggest in both attendance and in successfully reaching out to and servicing every corner of the community. From the children to the seniors in assisted living and in homes, and beyond. We strove to bring light and blessings to the entire Naples area, and after Chanukah, our goal is no different; we will continue spreading Chabad's trademark warmth far and wide; may the light continue to shine.
It is so appropriate that we read in this week's Torah portion how after 20 years of animosity, resentment and hurt, Joseph and his brothers finally reunite and Joseph forgives his brothers. It's a powerful moment when Joseph reconciles and reassures his brothers that they didn't send him to Egypt; that ultimately, it is G-d Himself that sent him there to fulfill his unique mission as Egyptian viceroy and to bring blessings to the world. Now more than ever, in this fragmented world, we need this mindset!
What's one big difference between kids and adults? It is well known that kids don't hold grudges; adults do. In a moment of anger, a child might say to Mom or Dad, "I hate you!" And then a few hours later, all anger and "hatred" is forgotten. Adults, on the other hand, hold grudges and refuse to talk to people for years, missing all kinds of once-in-a lifetime events, estranged from family members. Why? Seemingly it should be just the opposite, as kids are immature and adults are mature. The simple answer is because kids would rather be happy than right, while adults would rather be right than happy.
Let's be kids(at least in that sense! :) Let's learn from the unity in the Chanukah story how beautiful it is when we are together! Why deprive ourselves of the love of someone close to us just because we want to be right? There is nothing to be gained from that! Forgive as Joseph forgave, let go, bring love, and share joy and happiness.
P.S. This year we will once again be holding a "YEAR-END MIRACLE MATCH CAMPAIGN" - December 17-18. Stay tuned for details of this exciting opportunity to TRIPLE YOUR YEAR-END CONTRIBUTION!
We are looking forward to seeing you at our HUGE Community Chanukah celebration, Tuesday, December 4, 5:00 PM at Cambier Park.
The miracle of Chanukah is best celebrated when publicly shared by the Jewish community. Let's Celebrate our religious freedom today - together! This is a perfect opportunity to show your children a public Chanukah Menorah Lighting on the third night of Chanukah. This will be a truly great celebration for the entire community. Please join us and invite your friends and relatives. We have attached our flyer so that you may forward this email to your loved ones.
On Chanukah we light the menorah specifically after it is dark outside. The point is to bring light to the darkest places of our lives. Instead of ignoring them, denying them or running away from them, we are tasked with changing them. The easiest way to transform darkness is to add light. On Chanukah we are given an extra does of light from above to make miracles happen and we are given an extra dose of courage to venture into those places of paralyzing darkness and fear. Let's all take advantage of the moment. Make sure your candle is lit.
We want to personally wish each and every one of you a Chanukah and holiday season filled with friendship and traditions. May the warmth and glow of each candle make your heart and home happy and bright. We are so lucky to have you in our community!
In this week's Torah portion we read the story of Jacob's dream and the famous ladder with its feet on the ground and head in the heavens. "And behold the angels of G-d were ascending and descending on it."
You might ask… do angels really need a ladder? We all know angels have "wings", not feet. So why would they need a ladder?
There is a beautiful message here.
In climbing heavenward, one does not necessarily need wings, fancy leaps and bounds. There is a ladder, a spiritual route clearly mapped out for us to be traversed step-by-step, one rung at a time. The pathway to Heaven is gradual, methodical and eminently manageable.
Many people are discouraged from even beginning a spiritual journey because they think it needs that huge leap of faith. They cannot see themselves reaching a degree of spiritual commitment which to them seems otherworldly. And yet, with the gradual step-by-step approach, one finds that the journey can be embarked upon and that the destination aspired to is not in outer space.
A teacher once asked us the following question: "If two people are on a ladder, one at the top and one on the bottom, who is higher?" The class thought it was a pretty dumb question -- until our wise teacher explained that they were not really capable of judging who was higher or lower until they first ascertained in which direction each was headed.
If the fellow on top was going down and the fellow on the bottom was going up, then conceptually, the one on the bottom was actually higher.
And so, my friends, it doesn't really matter what your starting point is or where you are on the ladder of spiritual refinement and consciences. As long as you are moving in the right direction, as long as you are going up, you will, succeed in climbing the stairway to heaven. And from heavenly heights we see for sure that all that glitters is not gold.
Eleven acts. Eleven flames of light. Eleven deeds.
The overwhelming outpouring of love has been so touching and so meaningful.
The inspiration actually began early this week, with discovering beautiful flowers in the Chabad lobby, and the random people who kept coming through the doors just to give a hug.
Thank you to all who joined us Tuesday night for our Evening of Memoriam and Unity. It was all of YOU who came, from many different backgrounds, and sat together in solidarity that truly made this evening the Unity experience that it was.
It was all of you, who committed to doing more goodness, to adding more light to our world to banish this darkness, that ensures that these victims will always be honored and in our hearts.
11 acts of kindness for the 11 victims lost- thank you all for making this powerful commitment, and to the many of you who e-mailed me personally the mitzvahs you are doing.
In Psalm 133 it states, "How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity."
It is my heartfelt hope that we sit all together as one big family once again, at Chabad of Naples, very soon but for only joyous occasions.
A beautiful outpouring of love from our Naples Mishpacha!
What a beautiful outpouring of love and friendship at our son Yitzi's bar mitzvah! It was so heartwarming to Ettie and me to see once again how the Chabad Naples community is family. And thank you for the tremendous feedback; it means so much to us when you celebrate with us in our joy- we look forward to reciprocating!
There are so many levels to celebrating a Simcha. The Joy. The Nachas. The intense gladness of heart. Of course the heartfelt gratitude to Hashem and to so many.
What truly makes a Simcha complete, is the fact that it can be shared - with family and friends. This is a precious gift that can not be overestimated. It takes the joy and the Nachas to an altogether higher degree.
We are privileged that our families are dispersed around the world - literally - doing holy and special work. We are also privileged to have family geographically close. And we are equally privileged to have so many dear friends in our community. Friends that have become family - everyone of you close to our hearts.
This is a milestone Simcha in our lives - the Bar Mitzvah of our dear son Yitzi. Our hearts' are simply bursting with joy.
Thank you all for making our Simcha complete.
In the Torah portion Yitzi will read this week, G-d told Abraham to leave his family and everything with which he was familiar and to make a fresh start. Fifteen years ago, we also stepped out of our comfort zone when we left everything and everyone behind in New York and came to Naples, Florida. How fortunate we are and thank G-d every day that we came to be part of the most caring and loving Chabad Naples family, and that so many of you were able to join us for this landmark occasion. Many of you shared Yitzi's birth 13 years ago, and now many of you have celebrated this important milestone in his life.
It's another beginning for Yitzi, as he proceeds with his studies and will continue to read from the Torah for us.
May we, as a family, always share these wonderful simchas with each other.

Proto se rozhodli dát svého syna na střední školu superhrdinů, protože si myslí, že Will má stejné superschopnosti jako oni. Spolu s Willem jde na střední školu jeho nejlepší kamarádka Layla (Danielle Panabaker), která má schopnost manipulovat z rostlinami. Will zatím svou superschopnost ještě neodhalil a proto ho v první den ve škole zařadili mezi "parťáky", kam se dostávají studenti se slabými schopnostmi. To ale Will netušil, že při potyčce se svým nepřítelem Bojmírem (Steven Strait) zjistí svou superschopnost. Učitelé ho okamžitě přijali do třídy mezi "hrdiny" a bude pak blíž k své lásce holky Gwen (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) do které se zamiloval a začal s ní chodit. Layla je ale hrozně zmatená z toho, že Will dal přednost jiné holce před svou nejlepší kamarádkou. Na konec se ale všichni dozví, že Gwen je vlastne zločinec a padouch, který ukradl vzácnou zbraň Willovým rodičům Velitelovi a Raketě, které zlá Gwen proměnila na mimina a držela je ve škole spolu s učiteli, které proměnila na mimina taky. Z Bojmíra se na konec stal Willův nejlepší kamarád, který mu pomáhal zachránit rodiče a zničit Gwen. Na konec všechno dobře dopadne a Layle se splní sen a stane se Willovou holkou.

Truth or Dare Magazine, Issue #001 -- Shaving Cream Prank Dares - let's get messy!
One of my readers asked for some ideas for shaving cream prank type dares, so we compiled together some messy, creamy, and fun-to-watch but not-so-fun-to-clean-up ideas!
Dive right into the site!
For this edition of the Truth or Dare Magazine, let me draw your attention to some refreshing pool games. It is summer after all!
Marco Polo and other Swimming Pool Games!


Dennis Palmer, D.O., who has been practicing family medicine in Mercer County for 40 years, is joining Genesis Health Group, Aledo.
Dr. Palmer's practice and staff will move to the Genesis Health Group, Aledo clinic building located on the hospital campus. The specialty clinic comprised of Dr. Martha Thornton and visiting specialists now practicing in the space will move into a dedicated specialty clinic located in the hospital. The move is expected to occur by September 1.
Dr. Palmer is a graduate of Kirksville College of Osteopathic Medicine (1975) and completed residency at the former Davenport Osteopathic Hospital. Dr. Palmer opened his practice in Aledo in 1976 when he was recruited by the Aledo Jaycees using a special government program for medically underserved communities. He is board certified in Family Medicine with an added qualification in geriatrics.


Vehicles will be allowed on about 12 miles of the village beaches only between Nov. 1 and March 31. Driving previously was allowed there from mid-September through May, covering most of the fall and spring fishing seasons.
"Folks like to be able to come to a national seashore and not have vehicles on the beaches in front of the cottages they are renting," Cyndy Holda, spokeswoman for the Cape Hatteras National Seashore, said from her Manteo office.
Frank Folb caters to surf fishers at Frank and Fran's, his Avon tackle shop. Anglers drive on the beaches because public-access parking areas are often several miles apart, especially within the villages, he said.
"What they've done is privatize that beach during the fall," said Folb, 68.
"We use vehicles to get to the area we want to go fishing. It's not that we run up and down and jump dunes and stuff," Folb said.
The Cape Hatteras National Seashore includes about 68 miles of beachfront from south of Nag's Head to Ocracoke, excluding the Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge. Holda said the new rules still allow vehicles on 28 miles year-round, and an additional 13 miles during late autumn and winter.
Drivers will have to watch an instructional video, carry certain equipment and meet other requirements to get a permit. The park service will use the fees to help cover the cost of providing beach access and protection.
Bernie McCants of Raleigh, 63, has been driving and fishing on the Hatteras Island beaches since 1975. He objected to new rules that ban vehicles from some of the best fishing spots near Ocracoke village, Cape Point, and Oregon and Hatteras inlets.
"I've never objected to paying a fee," McCants said. "Because it costs the government to maintain the access ramps and provide rangers on the beach. But the thing that frosts me is the fact they permanently closed down four really popular fishing areas."

Marlins Bullpen Strong, but Folds to Reds 3-2 in 13 Innings
By David Polakoff

As usual, the Marlins' bats had difficulty getting warmed up on Saturday afternoon in Cincinnati. The bullpen, however, was hot until the bottom of the 13th inning, when closer Steve Cishek allowed the Reds to walk off with the win.
The Marlins used seven pitchers in the game, thanks to starter Wade LeBlanc's quick 4-inning outing. LeBlanc walked 3 and struck out 2, allowing the Reds to score one run in each of the third and fourth innings. Tom Koehler, Mike Dunn, Chad Qualls, AJ Ramos, and Ryan Webb combined for 7 scoreless innings, during which they allowed just 4 hits. The Marlins wouldn't give up another run until Cishek allowed Shin-Soo Choo to reach base with a leadoff double. Brandon Phillips eventually plated Choo with a sacrifice fly, handing Cishek his second loss of the season. The Reds stranded 17 men on base during the game, including a high-pressure situation when Qualls struck out young catcher Devin Mesoraco with the bases loaded to end the 7th inning.
Offensively, the Marlins had even more trouble with the bats, as they would have loved to even get 17 men on base all game. Marlins hitters had 8 hits and 2 walks, and no batter had more than a single hit except for catcher Miguel Olivo, who was facing the team that cut him toward the end of Spring Training this season. Giancarlo Stanton went 1-for-6 with a strikeout, an infield single and a stolen base. Not only does Stanton still have no home runs or RBI, he has now struck out in 17 of his 42 at bats this season.
Up next: The Marlins will close out their 4-game series with the Reds on Sunday at 1:10 PM. The Reds will visit Miami in May, and the two teams will not see each other again this season after that point.
