1979 is a political thriller – but not like that. The (rise and) fall of one of Canada's most forgotten and forgettable leaders sounds more like a mischievous improv prompt or DVR description for a History show than a recipe for gripping theatre – but it works. It's easy to see why the production went down so well in its Shaw Festival form and in its playwright-produced incarnation here.
Making a work like this informative yet entertaining tests not just writers and directors but also the performers Christopher Hunt and Jamie Konchak who, between them, portray the vast array of friends, enemies, and somethings-in-between who visit upon Philip Riccio's brilliant and beleaguered Joe Clark in his government's dying days. This rapid switching between roles – and genders! – is a challenge that Hunt and Konchak meet with impressive confidence. In particular, Hunt steals the show as a chainsaw-wielding Pierre Trudeau sultrily strutting across the stage to deliver imperious lectures to his captive audience.
These tonal shifts are aided by the clever use of text projections, giving the relevant history and unpacking the dry arithmetic of parliamentary procedure while keeping the mood light-hearted and letting the audience in on the joke. Although many audience members clearly had their own memories of Clark and his times, as a young buck who arrived on these shores only months ago I still found the play accessible – largely thanks to these fun summaries – and highly enjoyable.
Curiously, the weakest point of 1979 is its omen of the 2000s. After admitting to fudging the dates to make the maths work, the play introduces a young Stephen Harper as an eager assistant with strong Thatcherite conviction, acting as a Ghost of Conservatism Yet to Come. I found myself in the opposite position from almost everyone else in the audience, as a Brit with extensive experience of the debate around Thatcher and only faintly-formed ideas about Stephen Harper. From that perspective, the inclusion of Harper suggested a lack of faith in the show's premise to remain engaging without a familiar hate figure for Canadian theatre audiences. The Thatcher references – some more historically accurate than others – fell flat, or at least felt unnecessary. 1979, like Clark and so many of us – but absolutely not Pierre Trudeau – just needs to have more confidence in itself.

Maggiano's
Welcome to the Maggiano's !
The restaurant was successful from the very beginning, with eager diners sometimes waiting hours for an opportunity to dine family-style. The portions of Italian–American cuisine were large, reminiscent of a Sunday night visit to their grandmother's house, or as they say in Italy, nonna's casa! The recipes were simple, authentic classics, many of them coaxed out of Italian grandmothers, mothers, and aunts whose ideas of a recipe were a pinch of this and a sprinkle of that. With some trial and error, the chefs celebrated the birth of many of Maggiano's signature dishes.
With a successful opening at the Clark and Grand location, a second restaurant was opened in Oak Brook, Illinois and two years later in Skokie, Illinois. The decision to open a restaurant outside of Illinois was made, and in 1994 Maggiano's Little Italy opened in McLean, Virginia at Tyson's Corner Galleria II. As Tyson's Corner took off, it became obvious that Maggiano's had great potential to succeed nationally. With that in mind, Brinker International purchased Maggiano's Little Italy from Rich Melman of Lettuce Entertain in 1995. Since then, Brinker has grown Maggiano's from four locations in Illinois to numerous locations across the country.

New Japan-Australia reciprocity accord is important, but it's only part of the story
The RAA deal also lays the foundation for future work between Tokyo, Canberra and other allies

by Brad Glosserman
The Reciprocal Access Agreement (RAA) between Japan and Australia is a big deal. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is right to call it "a landmark agreement that will take Japan-Australia security cooperation to a new level," but it's much more than that. The RAA is one more strand — albeit a big one — in the diversifying and thickening web of security relations that is emerging in the Indo-Pacific region.
The RAA crystallizes the desire of those two governments to transform their security relationship at a time of great and growing uncertainty. Despite that shared ambition, negotiations took seven years. A formidable obstacle were provisions that govern the treatment of Australian troops who might commit crimes, a problem since Japan has the death penalty and Australia does not. The agreement was wrapped up last year and while there were hopes for a high-profile signing ceremony by the two prime ministers, they were squelched by the COVID-19 pandemic.
The RAA is Japan's second formal defense pact with another country and confirms Australia's status as its second most important security partner — after the United States, Japan's only treaty ally. The agreement enables a slew of activities. According to a statement from the Australian Prime Minister's Office, the RAA "will establish standing arrangements for the ADF and the JSDF to facilitate cooperative activities such as joint exercises and disaster relief operations, including those of greater scale and complexity, while improving the interoperability and capability of the two countries' forces." Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that after the agreement, "We will be completely interoperable between what we can do and how we deploy together."
Assessing the deal, Peter Jennings, a former Australian defense official who heads the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), a Canberra think tank, anticipates an expansion of practical military cooperation. He envisions Self-Defense Force personnel in significant numbers exercising and training with Australian and U.S. counterparts in military facilities near Darwin; Japanese F-35s using Australian training ranges to practice missions over land; Australian submarines and warships operating out of Japanese military bases; and the two countries' special forces working together with Southeast Asian partners. We got a taste of what to expect in November, when the Japanese destroyer Inazuma escorted the Australian frigate Warramunga during a joint exercise, the first time a Japanese vessel protected warships other than those of the United States.
While the RAA got most of the attention, the two leaders laid out an expansive agenda for bilateral cooperation. On hard security, they pledged to deepen and broaden security and defense cooperation and "looked forward to issuing a new Joint Declaration on Security Cooperation to serve as a compass for the two countries' engagement," updating the last such declaration, agreed in 2007.
On economic security, an ever-more important component of national security, they "committed to deepening collaboration to address illicit technology transfers, build resilient supply chains and strengthen the protection of critical infrastructure." They will work together on resource security and developing resilient critical minerals supply chains. They will also cooperate on cyber and critical technology; on research and development of critical technologies such as AI and quantum; the application of international law and agreed norms in cyberspace; and on international standard setting.
As important as what the RAA allows or enables the two countries to do together is the foundation it lays for future work. The deal signals to the U.S. its allies' determination to work together for regional security. ASPI's Jennings noted the two countries' shared interest in "keep(ing) the U.S. engaged in the Indo-Pacific. The more we can shape an aligned diplomatic and security approach, the more likely it is that the U.S. will stay engaged."
Japanese officials reportedly hope to use the RAA as a model for defense cooperation agreements with other countries, European ones in particular, to expand the security network in the Indo-Pacific. This will build on defense relationships that Tokyo has established with countries in the region. Last September, Japan agreed to provide defense equipment to Vietnam, while in November, officials from the two countries signed a cybersecurity pact. And in June of last year, defense ministers in Tokyo and Manila agreed to strengthen their cooperation; then, too, Japan offered military equipment, in that case reconnaissance aircraft.
For me, the key point is the accelerating evolution of regional security architecture. The RAA is the latest in a series of agreements that looks to transform Indo-Pacific security. Morrison agrees, noting that the RAA builds on a series of pacts, among them the AUKUS trilateral security agreement between the U.K., the U.S. and Australia; the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue that includes Australia, Japan, India and the U.S.; and bilateral security deals that Canberra has concluded with New Delhi and Seoul.
Security today is an expansive concept, and there is growing attention on its economic dimensions. Strategists pay as much attention to agreements that create shared economic spaces since they have outsize effects on national priorities and orientation. The provision of a market can be as influential as a security guarantee.
That's why the most troubling weakness in this emerging architecture is the U.S. refusal to join its economic components. The U.S. withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement and its refusal to reconsider membership in its successor, The Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership, leaves the world's largest economy on the sidelines as other governments write the rules for regional economic engagement. That absence assumed new significance as CPTPP members consider new applicants for the group and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership agreement that went into effect Jan. 1.
The Biden administration has said that it wants to develop an economic framework that goes beyond the CPTPP that "could be even more robust in some ways than the traditional free trade agreement." This "flexible and inclusive" deal will reportedly involve trade facilitation, standards for the digital economy and technology, supply chain resiliency, decarbonization and clean energy, infrastructure, worker standards and other areas of shared interest. Much rides on the final contours of that framework but I have to ask: Why reinvent the wheel?
A second big problem is organizational. How can governments in Tokyo, Canberra and Washington (along with like-minded partners) integrate the various initiatives — bilateral, trilateral and mini- or multilateral — to ensure that they work toward the same objectives and aren't duplicating or undermining each other. There is news of yet another U.S.-Japan initiative to control high-tech exports, which is different from existing trade controls and should be coordinated with European partners. There is also a need for efficiency as the number of institutions grows. One rationale for the RAA was setting up a framework so that security officials wouldn't have to negotiate details every time the two countries wanted to hold an exercise. There has to be coordination of the many efforts and this next, vital step has the potential to create a new regional security architecture.
There is a third problem: the response of countries that think they are the targets of this new cooperation. No discussion of evolving regional security architecture would be complete without mention of the burgeoning relationship between China and Russia. Bilateral security ties between those two giants have become more robust in recent years, with the two countries holding large-scale military drills together, naval maneuvers in the Sea of Japan and joint patrols by strategic bombers in Northeast Asia. Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin have declared that the relationship between Moscow and Beijing has surpassed the level of a military-political alliance.
While the two governments are both revisionist and unhappy about the international status quo, and very capable of playing the spoiler in key negotiations, they remain wary of entangling commitments. Air Marshal (retired) John Harvey of the Australian Air Force compared the RAA with the enhanced China-Russia relationship and concluded that "the former is based on shared values, enduring shared strategic interests and high levels of trust between the two countries whereas the latter is based on current shared strategic interests only and is likely to last only as long as those interests align."
He's right. But it will be interesting to see if regional developments result in a more enduring alignment of interests. That is no reason to slow the emergence of new regional architecture, however. After all, it has been the threat that those countries posed in the first place that has spurred this evolution.

Q: Are there any benefits in storing arrays inside of a function vs inside object Are there any benefits at all to storing arrays inside of a function vs storing arrays inside objects?  The values stored in these arrays will not change, but there could be thousands of lookups.  I am wondering if I should switch to objects now.
function arrayFunc (arr) {
    if(arr=='one'){
       return [99,2,3,4,5,6,7,98,9,341,82,36,44,5,55,6,3,66,77,45,241,144,1,334];
    }
    else if(arr=='two'){
       return [83,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,22,33,44,5,55,6,3,726,77,125,241,144,1,65];
    }
    else if(arr=='three'){
       return [64,2,56,95,5,544,7,8,9,11,22,33,44,5,55,6,3,66,77,45,241,144,1,2];
    }
 };

 var x=arrayFunc('two')[index];

By object I mean something like this
var arrayObj = {
  one:[99,2,3,4,5,6,7,98,9,341,82,36,44],
  two: [83,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,22,33],
  three: [64,2,56,95,5,544,7,8,9,11,22]
};

A: Yes, there are two major improvements: performance and code legibility.
Performance: You will not be recreating the array every time, and with hashed keys you will not be checking equality on every key.
Code legibility: This is the standard way to hold data because it is easier to read. Follow the convention.

A: In your code, the array will be re-created every time you call the function. This is a significant overhead if you are basically indexing into the array once.
It is not entirely clear to me what you mean by store in object vs. function, but if by that you mean that the arrays are owned by an object that is repeatedly used and not recreated every time, then yes, the object way will be preferred.

Project Q officially canceled by Ubisoft, no game testing in coming months – Multiplayer.it
Q Project has been deleted officially ubisoft, via a message posted on the game's official Discord channel. It is unclear at the moment whether it is one of the three canceled games that the company has mentioned in recent days, because it is also known that they have not been announced yet. The fourth cancellation in the last few weeks and the eighth cancellation in the last six months? Will it be one of the twelve battle royale games in development?
Project Q was launched in April 2022. The public's reaction was decidedly lukewarm at the time, and the game soon disappeared from the radar due to general disinterest. Also, it doesn't seem to have particularly impacted during. game test the last few months
More game tests are planned for the first half of 2023 and will no longer be held.
It seems that the publisher is cutting off all stillborn projects where players are interested in almost nothing. In the sent message ConflictUbisoft started by customarily complimenting the community and reminding them of the excitement of the first playtest, then announced: "Unfortunately we had to cancel scheduled closed tests because development of Project Q will be halted. That means we have to shut down the Discord server too."
The message then states that he has no further information to convey, limiting himself to thanking everyone again for the support and inviting the rest to share their memories until the servers shut down in the next few days.

Answering Atheist about Torah miracles
How do we explain our belief in the story of Yonah living in a Fish, the Splitting of a sea, and all the other fantastic Miracles described in the Torah to a person who was not brought up religious; and maybe in fact does not believe in religion because of these parts of the Torah? also is saying the story of Jonah Allegorical heresy?

It's not clear whether this person doesn't believe in G-d, religion or Torah. – YDK Jun 13 '11 at 16:08
Cf. judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/124. – msh210♦ Jun 14 '11 at 3:00
You first must prove to him that the Torah is Divine and once he knows this he will understand why we believe in these stories. – Hacham Gabriel May 22 '13 at 17:34
I think it is fruitless to try to prove torah to non-believers, though people try (e.g. the "torah codes" folks looking for hidden messages in the text). The validity of our received tradition, and thus the miracles recorded therein, is not something that can be proven through science.
As for explaining our belief in the truth of torah, one can ask: Is there anything that Ha-Kadosh Baruch Hu cannot do? The torah describes miracles, which were either performed on the spot by God (the pshat) or programmed into the creation of the world (Rambam, Introduction to Pirkei Avos, Ch. 8). God can act in the world; this doesn't obligate Him to do so in the future ("why don't we see giant fish swallowing people nowadays?"), but it also does not preclude it (e.g. resurrection).
Monica Cellio♦Monica Cellio
If you succeed to make a nonbeliever believe, you are actually mezakeh him. I know that "ocheach tochiach" does not apply when you know someone will not listen to you, but if you think he will, you have the obligation to make him believe the Torah. So I oppose the view that "it is fruitless to try to prove torah to non-believers" – Yarden Jan 7 '14 at 1:14
@MonicaCellio Regarding arguments about how far back the Torah goes, see this: judaism.stackexchange.com/a/44538/2205 – Robert S. Barnes Sep 12 '14 at 12:47
As I understand it, Maimonides in his Guide to the Perplexed mentioned that some Jewish philosophers had gone so far as to say the very existence of Biblical characters such as Abraham was allegorical -- that's going too far. Maimonides himself interprets certain episodes of angelic interaction in the Torah as dreams, allegories, or the like, which (unsurprisingly) ruffles some traditionalist feathers.
My understanding is that the standard, normative understanding of Jewish faith would be that the Jonah story actually occurred. I think, and I could be wrong here, that if someone chose to understand it as allegory or a dream or the like, however, Jewish Law would not treat him/her as a heretic (koifer in your question), as their belief would not be in violation of the Thirteen Principles of Faith (while "I believe that all the words of the prophet are true"; a dream or allegory could be "truth", I presume); just as the rabbis of the Talmud themselves debated whether Ezekiel's vision of the Dry Bones was a physical reality, or just something seen in a prophetic trance. (Though Ezekiel opens the story with a prophetic-vision experience...)
To agree with Monica, I don't think there is going to be the a-ha, gotcha! that's going to do it for an atheist, certainly with regards to a story like this. We believe that G-d can do anything, including bending the laws of nature as needed.
A more interesting question is to transcend the how and ask why (as Lord Sacks likes to say, science is the how, religion is the why): why the whale (or "great fish", whatever it was)? As I read it, Jonah's job was a prophet, and he had to go warn Nineveh. Now he had all sorts of reasons why he didn't want to do his job -- Nineveh was the capital of Assyria, which would go on to attack Israel, not to mention make us look awfully bad that we ignored all our prophets' calls to repent). But that's not our place. G-d is G-d, and we are humans. Once Jonah started by breaking that order, he starts to see the laws of physics go topsy-turvy around him. This explains the epilogue to the book that the Midrash fills in, where Jonah bows down and says, "Okay G-d now I get it; the world is Yours and You do with it as You wish."

So God would love the Nineveh when they repent and punish jews when they don't? – user4951 Sep 29 '12 at 14:14
Maimonides himself interprets certain episodes of angelic interaction in the Torah as dreams, allegories, or the like AFAIK he explains that they all took place in a mar'eh nevuah. I can't remember about allegories, and can only imagine what "the like" refers to. Do you have sources? – mevaqesh Oct 9 '16 at 21:54
as their belief would not be in violation of the Thirteen Principles of Faith (while "I believe that all the words of the prophet are true"; a dream or allegory could be "truth", I presume) Rambam never those words in his ikkarim! – mevaqesh Oct 9 '16 at 21:57
It is unfortunate that this mitake is repeatedly bandied about. – mevaqesh Oct 9 '16 at 22:06
How to explain to an atheist? Don't look to Johnny:
Nine-year-old Joey was asked by his mother what he had learned in Sunday School.
'Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind enemy lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt . When he got to the Red Sea, he had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the people walked across safely. Then he radioed headquarters for reinforcements. They sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were saved.'
'Now, Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?' his Mother asked.
'Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd never believe it!'
We don't change the Torah or our religion in order to make it more palatable to atheists. If they don't believe it because of miracle X, and they do not believe in miracles, then that is fine. If you deliberately strip out all the miracles, such that Moses builds a pontoon bridge to cross the Red Sea, then you are left without religion or belief in God's intervention in the world anyway.
That is not to say that other concerns should not lead to a naturalistic explanation of Biblical miracles. Various Rishonim were led by their philosophic beliefs to interpret verses in a naturalist fashion (See here and this book for examples.)
And there is a rather strong basis in the Biblical verses to say that God manipulated nature. For instance, see how the wind dried up the waters in the Reed Sea. Or how the wind carried the locust plague in Egypt, where we know from observation nowadays that locusts regularly migrate along that path.
Speaking for myself, I can empathize with your desire to explain Yonah as metaphor. However, this is not because of the big fish part. But because as a student of literature, Yonah reads to me (in style and substance) like a morality play and a lesson about the importance and nature of repentance, and theologically why God allows it. The prophet delivering the message, the sailors, the city of Ninveh, and even the animals (in almost comical fashion) all repent. While the style and substance does not prove that the story is not historical, it is suggestive or supportive of it, much in the manner that the style and substance of sefer Iyov is suggestive that it was not intended as historically true. I believe that various midrashim from Chazal may be read to support an metaphorical interpretation as well, so personally, I would not view this as out of bounds.
The Vilna Gaon interpreted the entire book as an allegory about the soul and physical world. Of course, taking the book as allegory does not preclude it also being historically true. Regardless, that one can look at the book and see metaphor lends credence to the idea that the book may be interpreted (solely) metaphorically. According to Efodi, Rambam did not believe that it took place historically. Ibn Caspi interpreted the miracles in the book as Yonah's dream. So this is not without some level of precedent.
But don't water it down just to make it palatable for an atheist.

Joey or Johnny? – Double AA♦ May 5 '13 at 6:05
-1 Our mesorah informs us which parts of Tanakh are literal, which parts teach a deeper understanding, and which parts are allegorical. Our mesorah does not use the criteria of literary analysis to make that determination. – Jake Sep 11 '14 at 7:28
interesting. so Rambam only said things were allegorical if he had a masorah that it was so? i don't think so? "literary analysis" means looking at the text and context and getting a sense of its import and intent. – josh waxman Sep 11 '14 at 13:24
Separately, no, I don't believe that because something isn't quantifiable, or provable to people who haven't, e.g., read morality plays so as to make the connection, one should shut up. I disagree with your belief that one shouldn't, where appropriate, make such assertion, especially where it is part of a well-developed answer otherwise, and the point was that saying it was metaphor should come from a sense of the text rather than a defensiveness. But I am not going to get into back and forth about it, since I've learned it is futile, and it would lead to extended discussions in comments. – josh waxman Oct 10 '16 at 20:32
I think Chazal possibly saw it as metaphor as well. (Edit: It depends on how one interprets various midrashim, such as that Yonah was concerned lest they do teshuva and cast Israel in a non-favorable light). What do Midrashim about Yonah being concerned that they repent (which incidentally, even fearless pashtanim like Radak, embrace) possibly have to do with whether the story is literal. To repeat myself, your feelings about what Hazal may or may not have believed are useless without evidence. – mevaqesh Oct 14 '16 at 19:13
As to your question of explaining miracles: You don't. It is quite logical that if an omnipotent G-d wanted our people to know of His interaction with humanity, He would have to display this clearly at least once, subsequently being passed down to future generations. (Yonah was a private miracle, only publicized later. I don't know the purpose of the miracle, buy perhaps it is for the remez that can be learned.)
This person has a fundamental issue with an Omnipotent G-d.
A kofer? It would seem not. The Seforno Breishis 3:1 learns that there was no Nachash in Gan Eden, but that "nachash" is the Yetzer Harah and the verbal conversation never took place.
YDKYDK
Are you referring to Matan Torah with your first paragraph? – Menachem Jun 13 '11 at 18:26
No, I was referring to krias yam suf, as simchastorah asked. Matan Torah doesn't display continuous interaction. However, that, too, was necessary as alluded to in my comment to Monica. – YDK Jun 14 '11 at 3:52
Although belief in miracles is an important belief in Judaism, I do not think it is kefirah to believe that the laws of nature are never broken, even if it is not the traditional Jewish view. If a person believes God created absolute rules that He never breaks, its probably OK, as long as he accepts that there is some form of Divine Guidance in this world.
There were some scholars who tried to give rational explanations for many miracles. For example, the Ralbag often tries to explain how certain miracles didn't violate the laws of nature (Although he's not exactly a fully traditional source).
There were no physical laws necessary for the sea to split, just very large unlikelihoods. Similarly, many miracles can be just explained as statistically unlikely quantum events. This is acceptable, for clearly God is behind the events. Some may wish to go further and say the splitting of the sea was just a very low tide or something. That is probably not heretical either. Those who do not accept Judaism may find such that explanation more reasonable.
As for the story of Yonah, there were those (possibly the Vilna Gaon) who explained it allegorically.
Ariel KAriel K
Indeed it was the Gr"a who explained it allegorically. Cf. – WAF Jun 14 '11 at 2:36
+1 for "statistically unlikely quantum events." I once used a somewhat similar argument (though without that expression, because I wasn't familiar with it) to say that, for example, G-d turning the Nile into blood is something that in principle could be done by a scientist with no constraints on money or time (since it would ultimately just involve a lot of rearrangement of atoms and subatomic particles). – Alex Jun 14 '11 at 3:27
The Gra's explanation according to remez does not preclude him from learning pshat. The Gra wrote a remez commentary on megillas Esther. It doesn't mean the story didn't happen, it just means that the author stressed certain "incosequential" details in order to hint to other ideas. – YDK Jun 14 '11 at 4:15
@YDK, I agree completely. The fact that the Gra explained Yonah allegorically does mean that he believed it never actually happened. Abarbanel explains the story of Adam and Chava in Eden as both something that actually happened and metaphorically referring to more metaphysical concepts. – jake Jun 14 '11 at 15:31
@Ariel, This is acceptable, for clearly God is behind the events. I think what you are saying is that although God has the ability to override natural laws, He prefers to "manipulate probability" to result in a "miracle". This is indeed acceptable, I think, and perhaps was the opinion of B'chor Shor.... – jake Jun 14 '11 at 15:58
I think you need to first reconcile science with judaism first to the person, before you explain the question of miracles, as this is the underlying question.
In Michtav M'Eliyahu (Vol.2 pg 264), Rabbi Dessler discusses the miraculous account in the book of Yehoshua, whereby, the Jews were instructed to blow shofars and the huge walls of Jericho came crumbling down. He says the following: "see the Ralbag commentary who pointed out that there is grounds for mistakenly thinking that the blowing of the shofar is what brought down the walls, since the loud noise could produce air movements which in turn cause vibrations in the wall. In truth, whoever wants to deny can explain away every miracle with remote explanations, and crookedly and stubbornly claim that it was an accident. And we have already explained that when G-d performs a miracle, He leaves open an escape to allow for erroneous explanations. This he does for the stubborn person in order to not diminish the possibility of free will." (another example of this: After Samson lost his miraculous strength, the verse says: "the hair of his head began to grow again after he was shaven" (Shoftim 16:22) which the stubborn person can use to mistakenly attribute his strength not to a miracle of G-d but rather to his hair, despite that a few verses later he prayed to G-d saying (ibid verse 28): "strengthen me, I pray You, only this once more, O G-d, that I may be this once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes".
The Ramban commentary on the torah (Exodus 12:16) says: "...for man has no portion in the Torah of Moshe Rabbeinu unless he believes that all our matters and happenings are completely miraculous, there is no nature or ways of the world.."
The universe around us, and especially life is miraculous. Only that G-d instituted a natural order so that there would be room for free will, namely that the stubborn person who wants to shirk his religious duties can find an escape by attributing everything to "mother nature". If we could find even one phenomena that could not be explained scientifically but could only be attributed to an open miracle of G-d, and this phenomena could be reproduced and demonstrated to everyone on demand, then free will would be null and void, since nobody could deny the existence of G-d and everything this entails (morality, religious service, etc.). This is why G-d created the world in such a way that everything in it can be explained through science. Life has the capability of being attributed to evolution. The brain can be experimented with and studied with the same physical laws which explain the motion of electrons in a copper wire. Astronomers who study the universe, will find they can attribute its existence to a Big Bang billions of years ago and study that event with natural laws. Physicists can probe the atom and find ever more exotic particles and explain their behavior through scientific theories. All phenomena has the ability to be attributed to the "non-miraculous". This is a necessary side to creation in order to preserve man's free will.
However, the thinking person will see that there are big holes in the scientific perspective. The Big Bang has the big question of "what caused it?". Life has the great question of "how can something so complex occur by mere trial and error"? The true truth-seeker will be bothered by such things. And even the inanimate world reflects an infinite wisdom as the nobel prize winning physicist Richard Feynman, considered one of the most profound physicists of all time, wondered:
"It always bothers me that according to the laws of physics as we understand them today, it takes a computing machine an infinite number of logical operations to figure out what goes on in no matter how tiny a region of space, and no matter how tiny a region of time. How can all that be going on in that tiny space? Why should it take an infinite amount of logic to figure out what one tiny piece of space/time is going to do? So I have often made the hypothesis ultimately physics will not require a mathematical statement, that in the end the machinery will be revealed and the laws will turn out to be simple, like the chequer board with all its apparent complexities. But this is just speculation." (from his book: The Character of Physical Law - Chapter 2 - the relation of mathematics to physics)"
So really there is no contradiction between the torah and science. There must be free will, and in order to preserve free will, G-d must have a way of allowing the stubborn person to attribute everything in the universe to the non-miraculous, i.e. science. The more we discover, the more we will find scientific explanations for everything. In earlier days, when people thought the world was flat, the ambiguity was "what's beyond the earth?" and that was enough ambiguity to balance free will. Now as technology discovers more and more, so too G-d must reveal deeper reasons for phenomena such as the ever more exotic laws of quantum mechanics or the mind boggling complexity of biological phenomena, so that no "open miracles" can be found which would nullify free will. )
(now to answer the question:) This is not to say that open miracles never happen. The Tov Halevanon commentary in Chovos Halevavos gate 4 ch.4 says: "G-d does not do public miracles without great necessity". Sometimes, G-d will come out from behind the mask of nature and perform miracles, but only if there is a great necessity since this interferes with His plan of giving man free will. For example, the ten plagues in Egypt were necessary because they were the prelude to the giving of the torah, and there had to be no doubt that the torah was of Divine origin (Drashas HaRan). Or, Avraham's being thrown into a blazing furnace and surviving was necessary since he would be the father of the Jewish people.

I don't know if that quote by Feynman is applicable here. He's talking (I assume) about sum-over-paths quantum mechanics, not evolution. – Double AA♦ May 19 '13 at 2:14
Why is nature a mask (sounds bedieved) and not a creation which God placed us in? – Double AA♦ May 19 '13 at 2:16
@DoubleAA Yes, Feynman is not talking about evolution. my point is that all motion. even the smallest atom and all the more so, larger phenomena which is the sum of the small motions and their interactions takes an infinite amount of computations to resolve. This should raise some eyebrows among scientists as it did with Richard Feynman, since it implies an infinite character to the nature of reality. I tried to clarify what i meant by "mask of nature" in the question – ray May 19 '13 at 6:51
physicsteachers.com/pdf/The_Character_of_Physical_Law.pdf page 57. It does seem he is referring to modern physics in particular and not just large scale applications of classical physics. – Double AA♦ May 19 '13 at 20:49
@DoubleAA large scale applications work because you can get away with using approximations. but to compute EXACTLY what will happen in reality requires infinite computations whether for large scale or small scale. BTW, i added some sources to the answer – ray May 21 '13 at 9:58
I agree very much with Monica; in my experience it is generally not a great idea to discuss beliefs with people in general and particularly not in this situation.
I was raised in a Christian home to a very religious family (missionary relatives, church every Sunday, etc.) and am now an atheist. I left my parent's religion because I have spent most of my adult life studying science and the logic of science is more appealing to me than the illogic of religion. Nonetheless, and I expect I'll get a lot of flack for saying so, I am converting to Judaism.
It is true that I don't "believe" literally the stories told in the Torah, but that actually does very little to my impression of Judaism as a whole. It seems to me that people who are raised and stay in a religion their whole life see it as a set of beliefs where people outside of the group see it as a set of practices. This would explain why, when violence is committed in the name of (any) religion, people of that religion say "They aren't really (insert religion of choice here), they just say they are." whereas people outside of that religion say "Wow, look how violent (insert same religion here) is!"
In a situation in which an atheist raises your beliefs, they are likely trying to get you to evaluate them from an outside perspective. If you are comfortable with doing this, the best policy is to be honest. On the other hand, if you happen to be talking to an atheist and no one mentions beliefs, don't bring it up; instead, try to focus on what the practices of the religion mean to you.
AdamRedwineAdamRedwine
I will try to answer the beginning of your question: "Answering Atheist". For the second part "about Torah miracles" there are already dozens of good answers. I will only try my 2 cents.
In this answer I will assume you care very much about the person you are talking to and you both care genuinely about finding the truth. If this is so you two can try to find the truth together, search books, argue, and so on... From this type of discussion you can gain very much. If this is not so, maybe it is pointless to argue, as Monica said.
I think, first of all, you should seek your answer to those questions. What do you think constitutes a miracle? Do you believe those miracles are true? And why? If you feel you are unsure about your own positions think deeply about them. You should not think in defensive ways, you should strive for the truth. If he is right, he is right, but before you act consequently (maybe the Torah is not right, after all), you should be sure that he is right.
A good idea is to go to a Rav that can handle this type of questions (Torah vs Science) and to bring your friend with you. Then ask the Rav what is the answer to the atheist's claims. If he cares about the truth, he can gain from speaking with the Rav, and you, too, can learn very much.
A Rav is only one of the resources you can find and it has not to be a Rav, it can be someone with enough familiarity with the topic. You can search proofs on your own (many are provided as answers to this question) that help you to defend and strengthen your position.
I feel somewhat obliged to share my position about the topic. I believe in spirituality and I feel a connection with Hashem. I know that he answers my prayers, for example. So spirituality can influence reality. I cannot explain how, but I know for sure that if Hashem wants something, he obtains the result. From a religious perspective it doesn't matter very much how. I happen to have a degree in Physics, and from what I learned, I know that there are "principles" or "fundamental theories" that are universally believed to be true because no experiment ever contradicted them in a fundamental way (e.g. conservation of mass/energy, uncertainty principle, the fact that a "theory of everything" should have a flavor of QFT and involve many fundamental symmetries thus implicating conservation of many quantities by Noether's theorem but I am really digressing now...). My position is that: (1) it can well be that a miracle produces something that contradicts these natural laws (2) there are many ways that almost all of these natural laws can remain true. I can myself come with some (what if we take quantum perturbations of slim probability into account? or, more simply, some geological or biological curiosity? there are so many thing that are possible but don't usually happen!). You can also find that the Torah itself, when interpreted through a Midrash or just a small insightful consideration, can change its face (maybe the "taninim" in the Genesis are dinosaurs, or Adam had relationships with hominids...). It doesn't make much sense to stick with one "natural theory" and one interpretation of the Torah and make them collide!

I remember now why it has been over a year since we have eaten in a Mexican Restaurant. We have no control. We had forgotten that. It was Cinco de Mayo you know? May 5th. It seemed like the perfect time to try a Mexican restaurant in our temp city.
After all, it was my Weight Watchers leader who even suggested the restaurant in the first place. Since I've lost ten pounds now (not a true ten pounds mind you because that first weigh in included a hat, coat, gloves and shoes just to assure a little progress that first week on program) and am back to my goal, I felt empowered to go in there on the Mexican holiday to celebrate with the locals. I just bet that Carolyn doesn't let them bring chips to her table.
It's that chip basket that is the problem. I had silently promised myself that I would count out ten chips and when they were eaten, I was finished. I would then patiently wait for my modest combo to arrive. But did that happen? Oh no, my hubby and I ended up finger fighting over the last small crumb nestled in the bottom of the basket. At least we did resist the urge to nod approvingly as the fourth "attender" offered to refill it. Don't they know how bad your night can be after you have filled up on just ONE chip basket between two people AND your "modest" combo?
But the chips are so good. At home I eat unsalted pretzels or baked potato chips. I don't have a greasy chip within a mile of my hotel room. Okay, unless you count the vending machine in the laundry room but that doesn't tempt me. But put me in a restaurant with loud music, lots of happy people and a basket of hot chips and I'm a gonner.
So after a restless night of dreaming about striped blankets, big hats and Pepcid AC, I believe it will likely be another year before we attempt to eat Mexican food. We need to face facts, we are chipaholics and we now know it.

Foreign politicians, an indicted election clerk and Vanilla Ice: Inside the revolving door of Trump's Mar-a-Lago
Aug 24, 2022 Don King, guns, Mar a Lago, National Security, Security Lapses, Vanilla Ice
Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby. WTF is this guy doing with Trump and around all those National Security Top Secret Classified documents? But hey, Don King with a gun? Trump didn't get bothered by anyone with a gun, "let my people come" he said. Of course there wasn't a broke dick amongst his people, and hillbillies who gave Trump most of his cash sure weren't let inside to trash the place either. Only those with money were allowed in. And of course the hillbillies who made Trump rich were excluded because, ya know, they are the suckers who get took: can't have them stinking the place up with their trailer trash stench.
Story below:
Three months before FBI agents raided former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate this month to recover boxes of government documents, hundreds of guests descended on the Palm Beach, Florida, property for a red carpet movie screening.
The film, a widely-debunked account of unproven 2020 election fraud, was the latest movie from Dinesh D'Souza, the conservative author and filmmaker who Trump pardoned before leaving office, after D'Souza pleaded guilty in 2014 to violating federal campaign finance laws. Attendees were dressed in glitzy gowns and tuxedos, including one guest who wore a jacket emblazoned with the word "Rigged" on the lapels, in support of Trump's claim that the election had been stolen.
The crowd was a Who's Who of Trump loyalists, many of whom had worked to overturn the 2020 results and some of whom were under investigation for their efforts. Among the guests were retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser whom Trump had pardoned after Flynn pleaded guilty in 2017 of lying to the FBI; Tina Peters, a Colorado election clerk who pleaded not guilty to charges of breaching voting systems following the 2020 election; and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who was still pushing election conspiracy theories
Although the crowd included several former Trump administration officials, none of the guests would have had top-secret security clearance. And yet, as they sipped champagne and mingled around the perimeter of the pool at the center of the estate, all of them were on the premises where law enforcement says Trump kept a trove of classified documents whose contents may have included some of the nation's most closely guarded secrets.
While it is unclear if any guests approached the specific areas where the materials were being stored, the trove included the documents the FBI took away when they executed the August 8 raid based on evidence that classified material remained at the estate even after agents removed documents during a previous visit in June — which itself followed the National Archives' retrieval in January of 15 boxes of documents that had been improperly taken to Florida when Trump left the White House.
The May movie screening offers a glimpse into the bustling world of Mar-a-Lago, the sprawling property that serves as both Trump's residence and his private club, which remained highly active in the months leading up to the FBI's initial visit in June, playing host to weddings, fashion shows, political fundraisers, and Trump's private business dealings — all while top secret government documents were on the premises.
Interviews with over a dozen visitors and a review of social media posts show that in weeks leading up to the raid, dozens of events were held at the club, which together drew thousands of visitors from around the world to the president's property.

And though a number of Trump's lawyers have taken to the airwaves in recent days to offer assurances that Mar-a-Lago is highly secure, others with experience at the property say otherwise.
"At Mar-a-Lago, the priority is the members, not security. Period," said Stephanie Grisham, Trump's former White House press secretary, who had a public falling out with the former president and his family that included publishing a tell-all book last year, but previously spent long hours at the estate as one of his most senior advisers. "There would be times when a member would bring a guest where the background check was shady and we would get these calls, and it was always 'Let them in, let them in.'"
"The vetting process was definitely not what it should have been," said Grisham, who served nearly the entire four-year term in the Trump White House, working in the press offices of both the president and the first lady, before resigning following the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
Grisham recounted the time when boxing promoter Don King, who had been one of Trump's few celebrity supporters during his 2016 campaign, came to see him at Mar-a-Lago after Trump won the election and brought a gun with him. According to Grisham, aides around the Trump thought to themselves, "Who the hell shows up to Mar-a-Lago to see the president of the United States with a gun?"
But Trump didn't have the same concerns.
"Secret Service said, 'No you can't come in,'" Grisham recalled. "And the president said, 'No let him in, I don't care.'"
King did not respond to a request for comment from ABC News.
"Guests at Mar-a-Lago move pretty darn freely," Grisham said. "Hundreds of guests would file directly past the president's own front door. There were Secret Service, but that is kind of unheard of."
Sources familiar with the federal investigation into the allegedly improperly retained materials have told ABC News that the top secret documents discovered at Mar-a-Lago this month raise critical national security questions, and that security officials must now try to track the chain of custody to determine if any of the material was compromised. The FBI's inventory of what agents took from the estate includes material identified as SCI — sensitive compartmented information that is so secret that it can only be viewed in a special secure facility.
One expert said the presence of such information at Mar-a-Lago was a "huge vulnerability" that could "partially explain" why the FBI escalated its investigation earlier this month and served a search warrant on the property, where it ultimately seized 11 sets of documents ranging from confidential to top secret and SCI.

"From a counterintelligence perspective, this is an extraordinarily high-risk situation," said John Cohen, a former Department of Homeland Security official who is now an ABC News contributor. "I can tell you with all confidence that the fact that the FBI served a search warrant communicates a high level of concern regarding the potential for inappropriate access to this material."
In a statement to ABC News, Trump spokesperson Taylor Budowich said, "The Democrats have spent seven years fabricating hoaxes and witch hunts against President Trump, and the recent unprecedented and unnecessary raid is just another example of exactly that."
"He will defeat this massive abuse of government just like every one before, by exposing the lies and championing the truth," Budowich said.
Since Trump returned to Palm Beach after losing the 2020 election, Mar-a-Lago has emerged as the power center for Republican politics, with candidates flocking to the former president's resort to court his support and rent out the club for lavish fundraisers. In total, federal campaigns and committees have so far spent $1.63 million at Mar-a-Lago through the 2022 midterm election cycle, according to FEC reports reviewed by ABC News.
Some of the former president's most high-profile allies in Congress have held fundraisers at Mar-a-Lago in recent months, including Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, who is under investigation for sex trafficking a minor, multiple sources tell ABC News. Gaetz has not been charged with any crime and has denied all wrongdoing. Others include Republican Georgia Senate candidate Herschel Walker, Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, and Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters, according to sources and social media posts.
Fundraisers at Mar-a-Lago have attracted hundreds of guests, many of whom would not have undergone background checks prior to entering a property on which highly sensitive government documents were stored. And while normally guests would not be required to undergo background checks to attend a gathering at a former president's property, the top secret documents that were allegedly being held on the property raise numerous security concerns.

In addition, security experts say that passing a government background check involves a review of organizational affiliations and social media activity. According to social media posts, among those who have attended events at Mar-a-Lago are several candidates and their supporters who have self-professed ties to the QAnon conspiracy, which law enforcement officials have warned could be radicalizing followers toward violence.
In March, Mar-a-Lago hosted a fundraiser for Florida Republican congressional candidate Darlene Swaffar, who the activist organization Media Matters for America ranks among a long list of QAnon supporters running for Congress in 2022, saying that she has "repeatedly tweeted the QAnon slogan and has posted a video of herself taking an oath supporting QAnon."
During the event, held in Mar-a-Lago's crystal ballroom, Trump aides pulled her aside and surprised her with a private one-on-one meeting with the former president, according to Swaffar.
"I heard about you. I heard a lot about you. I've heard great things about you," Trump told her, according to Swaffar. "I'll tell you what, if you win the primary, I will strongly endorse your campaign." Swaffar, however, ultimately lost her primary this past Tuesday.
Swaffar told ABC News she felt security at Mar-a-Lago was strong when she was there, and said that the meeting with Trump was a total surprise. Swaffar also said she does not support or follow QAnon, despite her repeated posts online in 2019 and 2020 about the conspiracy theory.
During his time in office, Trump held multiple summits at Mar-a-Lago with foreign leaders including Chinese President Xi Jinping and then-Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, boasting about how international leaders enjoyed visiting with him at the resort. That trend has continued since Trump left office.

Former Argentinian president Mauricio Macri tweeted a photo of a meeting with Trump in April, in which he said, "Today I shared a lunch with Donald Trump, where we exchanged opinions on the global context, the bond between Argentina and the United States, and everything that our countries can continue to build together."
In June, Indonesian tycoon Hary Tanoesoedibjo posted a photo of himself having dinner with Trump at Mar-a-Lago. Trump, according to the post, also gave Tanoesoedibjo a "Key to the White House" — a large key that he personally designed to give to guests, according to his son-in-law Jared Kushner's new memoir, and has continued to hand out since leaving the White House. A representative for Tanoesoedibjo did not respond to a request for comment.
Due to U.S. government regulations, experts say it would be a security risk to allow non-U.S. citizens access to where top-secret documents are stored.
Mar-a-Lago is often bustling with a celebrities. In January, music artist and entrepreneur Ray J reportedly met with Trump at the resort, taking a photo inside the former president's home office. In March, the rapper posted video and photos from a separate trip to the resort where he introduced Trump to Kodak Black, for whom the president had issued a commutation before leaving office.
Other recent visitors reportedly include actors Sylvester Stallone and George Hamilton, rapper Vanilla Ice, Baseball Hall of Famer Alex Rodriguez, and Canadian YouTuber pranksters The Nelk Boys, who interviewed Trump.
"It's the place to be in Palm Beach," said Bill White, who has been attending the club as a guest for 25 years. "There's always well-known faces and business people eating there or visiting."
White attended a 400-person wedding at Mar-a-Lago just days before the May movie screening, and described Mar-a-Lago as a "fortress." Security protocols there include vetting of attendees and a large Secret Service presence on the grounds to ensure strict monitoring of guests' whereabouts, according to White.
"It's very well-protected, there's no wandering around in Mar-a-Lago," White said. "The president's home and office areas are very well-protected and segregated from any of the club activity."
But Cohen said those procedures are primarily for the purpose of eliminating threats to the former president — not for protecting documents.
"There's a whole different level of security that would be required for the purposes of national intelligence security," he said.

Zelensky: 'What is the end of War For Us? Victory'
Ukrainian composer sets President Zelensky's words in powerful choral work marking six months of war


Built in the late1980's to bring upscale shopping to the declining downtown area of Columbus, Ohio, the City Center Mall was a successful enterprise for nearly 16 years. Over the last several years the stores have followed the consumers, moving on to the new shopping centers located in suburban areas. During cold weather, the mall has been burning some of the interior store lights to heat the building structure. I photographed the abandoned stores from the exterior, gates down and doors closed. These images reveal the interior structures stripped of any items for sale. In some spaces one can discern the type of items that formerly were for sale while other stores become complete mysteries. This body of work is much like a landscape or garden where regeneration, reuse, new growth in the spring is (hopefully) about to occur. However, this is not part of what could be seen as a normal recycling timetable for such structures, it is perhaps an early indication of the cultural and financial crisis we are now experiencing.

Der HK Triglav (Hokeyski Klub Triglav, oft auch HK Triglav Kranj) ist ein slowenischer Eishockeyclub aus Kranj, der zurzeit in der Inter-National-League spielt.

Geschichte
Der Verein wurde im Jahr 1968 gegründet und spielte über lange Jahre in der zweiten Leistungsstufe des jugoslawischen Eishockeys. In den 1970er Jahren konnte die Meisterschaft mehrmals gewonnen werden, aber vor allem finanzielle Probleme verhinderten einen Aufstieg in die höchste Liga des Landes. Zu dieser Zeit spielte der Club noch auf Natureis, erst im Jahr 1981 wurde die erste Kunsteisbahn fertiggestellt. Nach der Saison 1985/86, als die zweite Liga zum dritten Mal gewonnen werden konnte, folgte eine schwierige Zeit, als erneut finanzielle Probleme einen Aufstieg verhinderten und sich eine Abwanderungswelle von wichtigen Spielern einstellte. Erst nach der Unabhängigkeit Sloweniens stabilisierte sich die Lage. In der Saison 1995/96 gelang mit dem vierten Rang in der Slowenischen Eishockeyliga die bisher beste Platzierung, was der Club ein Jahr später noch einmal wiederholen konnte.

In der Saison 2006/07 nahm der Club auch an der Gruppe B der Interliga teil, eines multinationalen Eishockeywettbewerbes, und belegte dort hinter dem Farmteam des HK Jesenice den zweiten Platz nach dem Grunddurchgang. Die Mannschaft schied jedoch im Halbfinale gegen den zuvor schlechter platzierten KHL Mladost Zagreb aus.

Die Jugendmannschaft des Clubs gewann in der Saison 2002/03 die slowenische Nachwuchsmeisterschaft.

Erfolge
 Meister der zweiten jugoslawischen Liga in den Jahren 1971, 1980 und 1986
 Meister der slowenischen Nachwuchsliga 2003

Spielstätte
Die Heimstätte des Clubs ist die im Jahr 2007 neu errichtete Arena Zlato polje, die 220 Zuschauern Platz bietet.
