Ben's Tallit Shop was set up to create a place where you can ask questions, find the right tallit, choose the right tallit size and get just what you were looking for at a great price.
Ready to Help You
Look what our customers are saying:
I found the tracking link. The tallit should arrive shortly. So far dealing with you is as easy as dealing with the Jewish bookstore up the street, only better. Thanks for staying on top of everything.
- G. Goldenhorn
I can't thank you enough for the work you do helping Jews across the world to observe the mitzvah of tzitzit. Your customer service has been excellent and shipping is nothing short of fast. I look forward to doing more business with you.
- M. Boxerman
Ben's Tallit Shop is located in Modi'in Illit. About 70% of our orders go to customers in the US and Canada, and the rest go primarily to the UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Italy, Australia, Latin America and Israel.
We do not operate on Shabbos and Jewish holidays, and ask our customers to refrain from using our webstore during those times.
We work hard to provide a selection of made-in-Israel tallit options with a broad range of color and tzitzit options, and because it is a family-run business, we're able to keep prices affordable – in most cases you won't find a better price anywhere on the Web.

The program emphasizes literary writing rather than formula writing, and aims to introduce you to the forms and styles of writing which authors, past and present, have created and explored in their works. It will expose you to the history of formal experimentation and growth in particular genres.
Ours is one of only a few creative writing degree programs in the country.
When you commit your stories to paper you enter the realm of creative writing. Your portfolio of writing may take many forms — novels, short stories, plays and screenplays, comic books, interactive stories, hypertext documents to name a few — and involve elements that are fictional or imaginative.
As you advance, you'll be encouraged to explore specialized study in one or two genres such as fiction, poetry and playwriting.
Important eligibility information: This program is intended for students with a year of undergraduate studies and is not for direct entry from high school. Students may apply after completing their first 54 credits and before completion of their first 78 credits by presenting a portfolio containing work in both poetry and prose fiction as evidence of writing experience.
Highlights of the creative writing program:
- You can also gain practical experience through our links with TVOntario and York's literary journal, Existere, and the online poetry journal, Studio.
- Learn more about writing by attending the "Creative Writing Series," which provides an opportunity for you to meet and hear contemporary Canadian writers read or perform their own prose or poetry. Instructors have included W.O. Mitchell, Bill Bissett, Anne Michaels and Rachel Wyatt.
- Graduates of the program include Nino Ricci, Governor General's Award for Fiction, Eliza Clark, shortlisted for the Giller Prize, Selvadurai Shyam, winner of the W.H. Smith/Books in Canada First Novel Award, Jason Sherman, winner of the Governor General's Award for Drama and the Chalmer's Award for Drama, and poets such as Lorna Lush and Michael Redhill.
- BP Nichol Award – annual award given to an exceptional undergraduate student writer for his or her achievement in creative writing. BP Nichol was a winner of the Governor-General's Award, Fellow of Calumet College and professor emeritus of York's Creative Writing Program.
Possible Career PathsExplore what you can do with your degree
- editor
- novelist
- poet
- screenwriter
You are required to provide official evidence of academic achievement in secondary education. This can be demonstrated through:
- Final grades under the Ontario curriculum (obtained through correspondence, night school or through TVO)
- Credentials through other curricula, such as results from Advanced Placement (AP) or Advanced-level courses in the General Certificate of Education (GCE). (Students may register to sit for the AP and GCE examinations as private candidates.)
In the absence of final grades in courses:
- You must submit the results of standardized tests such as the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) with a minimum combined total of 1170 on the Critical Reading and Math components or a composite American College Testing (ACT) score of 24.
- Your application will be reviewed by an admissions sub-committee. If admitted, you will not be eligible for entrance scholarships. You will be considered for continuing student scholarships at the end of your first year of study, if you satisfy those criteria.
You may also be required to provide proof of language proficiency. You will be considered for entrance scholarships on the basis of your overall averages in the six 4U/4M (Ontario curriculum) or equivalent courses.
We are adding to our database of admission requirements by country. Please check back in October for additional admission requirements by country. General requirements are currently available by country — note that program-specific requirements may apply in addition to general requirements.

This is what a typical day was like for me as a 3rd-year student on the Professional Chef Diploma course at Westminster Kingsway College. In Years 1 and 2 there was plenty of classroom work, leading to the hygiene, health & safety and other training certificates required for work in a professional kitchen. The third year, however, is focused on practical cooking. I hope this diary doesn't put anyone off their ambition to become a professional chef. It's very hard work, but well worth it in the end!
Zzzzzzz...... Brrrnnngg!
Blissful sleep is disturbed by the jarring sound of the alarm clock.
You can't really see Tower Bridge from my house at sunrise, but it's only a mile or so away.
I roll out of bed, wander upstairs and run a bath. We've got a deep roll-top bath and the boiler is old and lives in the basement, so it struggles for 15 minutes to give me the hot water I need in the morning.
The delay provides an opportunity for me to check my email and any comments on my blog. If I need to mail or post responses I do this afterwards, while getting dressed and ready to set off for college.
No matter how busy I am I always find time for a bowl of cereals and milk. It's so important to start each day with some breakfast, especially if you can add some fresh or dried fruit to it.
My final task before setting off is checking my college bag, which I always pack very carefully the night before.
It's a large bag - and it needs to be. Most days I have to bring a chef's jacket and trousers, an apron, cloth, chef's hat and neckerchief and there's often other things depending on what rotation I'm on (butchery, larder, etc).
There's plenty of clothes washing to do in our house each week!
During term-time I can store my knives and shoes in my locker, but at beginning and end of term I have to transport these as well.
My journey to college takes me right across London from the East End to the West End and beyond to Victoria.
I start with the bus from Hackney down to the City, to catch the underground train (we Londoners call it "the tube") at Liverpool Street station.
With the security issues in central London, I always keep my Craft Guild of Chefs card handy, just in case my bag is searched by police and I have to explain why I'm carrying a large set of knives.
The tube takes me across town to St. James's (near Westminster Cathedral and Buckingham Palace), from where it's a five minute walk to college in Victoria.
Most days I arrive at Westminster Kingsway College a bit after 8am. Sometimes I get some extra sleep and start later, but when I'm directly supervising 2nd year students I have to get in before 8am.
Hospitality is a highly disciplined profession and it's very important to set a good example to your subordinates.
The first task of the day - and the most important - is to light the college kitchen stoves and ovens.
At home it probably takes you no more than a few seconds to switch on your electric oven or light your gas oven.
In the Brasserie kitchen we have 10 ovens and this job takes a lot longer. Each 3rd year Chef de Partie is responsible for their own ovens, but whoever is acting Head Chef has overall responsibility for the lot. Discovering that the ovens are cold just as you are about to start cooking lunch would be very embarrassing!
On the left you can see "The Vincent Rooms" - Westminster Kingsway's restaurant facility that we run as part of our practical work.
The Brasserie and Escoffier Room (dedicated to the man who popularised French haute cuisine) are open to the public and offer brasserie food and fine dining respectively, at very reasonable prices. At the moment I spend most of the day cooking in the Brasserie kitchens.
So next time you're in London why not pay a visit for lunch or dinner? You might even find that Trig is your Head Chef.
When mis en place is in full swing I can't stop to take a photo, so you'll have to use your imagination to picture us all fully engaged in the business of food preparation and cooking.
Typically, six 3rd years and ten 2nd years will be working here, prepping the ingredients and cooking the different components of the dishes for the restaurant menu.
By this time, lunch at the Brasserie is in full swing. On a busy day we can serve up to 120 covers (seated customers) in lunch service, but most days we have between 20 and 65.
Here's a picture of me plating up the dish "ravioli with a wild mushroom and madeira jus" at my starter section.
I don't do a great deal of classroom work now I'm a third-year student, but I still have some kitchen management and gastronomy classes with my lecturers that involve me paying a visit to this part of the building.
When there's a lecture in progress the room will obviously be full, but I just sneaked in and set my camera to auto-shot in order to take this photograph to show you what the lecture room facilities at Westminster Kingsway are like.
Most days I get out of college shortly after 4pm, but sometimes I have to stay until quite a bit later.
When that happens it means by the time I get home it's hard to find time to eat, relax, do my blog and get packed for the following day.
A brisk 5-minute walk from college takes me back to St. James's Park tube station for the one-hour journey back across London to Hackney.
Home again and ready for the evening's activities.
When there's project work or coursework to be done, this has to take priority.
Tuesday and Wednesday nights often mean football because my team Chelsea is in three different competitions.
Sometimes I go to Stamford Bridge with my friend Carl on a Saturday, but weekday evenings means a trip to the pub to watch the match on Sky Sports.
I try to get new blog postings out early in the evening. This is much easier now I plan many of my posts a day or two in advance and get things into draft early.
If I had to write everything in real time I would find it impossible, so I admire those bloggers who manage to do this regularly.
The world stops for Hollyoaks which is on Channel 4 TV every night. It's the only soap that I watch.
The photo will help to explain why (shame she's now left the programme).
This is the time when I cook. Those evenings when I have course work to do I make something simple. I might make baked potato with cheese or stuffed pasta with sauce.
When I have more time, I cook something more adventurous and take photos of the stages of preparation and cooking for the blog.
I know some students who cook during the day but never cook at home, but I simply can't understand this. I love to cook and to eat!
Apart from project work, I also have to fill in my City and Guilds folder daily, documenting each dish I am responsible for under its appropriate syllabus units.
I also have to produce dish specification sheets listing ingredient quantities and cookery methods. Sheets like these are produced by Head Chefs in large professional kitchens so the purchasing staff know what to buy and the Chefs de Partie know exactly how the dishes are to be prepared and cooked.
By 10.30 p.m. I've usually finished everything that needs to be done and, at last, I can relax.
I'll listen to some of my CDs or music downloads, enjoy a beer with my mates, chat to friends over MSN Messenger or simply watch TV or watch a film from my DVD collection or my dad's collection of movie classics.
Bag packed for tomorrow and tucked up in bed.
Not on Friday, of course, when I'm probably down the pub with my mates at this time and maybe out clubbing afterwards.
As a trainee chef you don't get much leisure time, so I make sure I enjoy mine as much as possible!
So after reading this, do you fancy becoming a trainee professional chef?

How do you say 'more of the same' in French?
A week later and there is a lot of talk about what happened in France, as my good friend Barry Casselman wrote:
President-elect Macron, 39, will take office next Sunday, and represents a belated Gallic version of the model of left-to-center political figures that came to power in the 1990s in the U.S. and U.K., Bill Clinton and Tony Blair. While both Mr. Clinton and Mr. Blair were quite successful with their pro-entrepreneurial, "third-way" liberal politics, their successors have moved decidedly to the left — and to political defeat.
We will see what happens in France. I understand Barry's note about Mr. Clinton and Mr. Blair but I see some important differences:
1) Mr. Clinton inherited a growing economy and rode it for much of his presidency. Despite the low unemployment and high approvals, he couldn't deliver Arkansas to VP Gore on election day; and,
2) Mr. Blair replaced a tired PM Major who succeeded PM Thatcher. PM Blair turned out to be a very responsible leader.
Mr. Macron will not be as lucky as Mr. Clinton, to say the least. He is inheriting a basket case brought to you by French socialism. This is from CNN Money:
After years of slow growth, the country's GDP figures are finally turning higher.
But they remain at very low levels.
The French economy expanded by 1.2% in 2016, according to the International Monetary Fund. The two larger economies in Europe — Germany and the U.K. — posted growth of 1.8% over the same period. The IMF predicts growth of just 1.4% for France in 2017, one of the weakest rates in the EU. France is also struggling to bring down its unemployment rate, which stands at roughly 10%. That's higher than the eurozone average and more than double the level of joblessness in Germany and Britain. The unemployment problem is even worse for young people: 24% of those between the ages of 15 and 24 don't have a job.
Government debt, meanwhile, has ballooned to almost 90% of GDP, up from just 58% a decade ago.
So what do you when your country is a socialist basket case? The French have voted to double down by electing a socialist! Good luck with that approach!
To be fair, France did not choose between a man of the left and a woman of the right, such as Mrs. Thatcher in 1979 UK. Too much of the election debate was about meaningless Obama-style "hope and change" and rejecting Miss Le Pen's anti-immigration views.
Mr. Macron now has a hard choice. He can keep the socialist dream and do nothing about those young people out of work. He can be a visionary and call for structural changes. He may want to visit with President Trump and listen to what he is hoping to do with tax reform. France is exhibit A in the world on passing tax reform and doing something about the unsustainable welfare state.
He will be unpopular either way but the second approach will at least turn France around. It may help him get reelected down the road.
It won't be pretty in France. Don't leave your car outside because it's likely to get torched!
P.S. You can listen to my show (Canto Talk), (YouTube) and follow me on Twitter.

It takes the village.
By Débora Rodrigues, President & CEO, Babywearing in Canada Inc.
We all know what happens when you have a baby, the mother and father find themselves in a new reality that people rarely talk about. You have now entered "parenthood." Please leave yourself at the door, right? It's all about the baby. Most mothers feel a great sense of beauty, joy, and wonder at the arrival of their new child. And yes, what few acknowledge is that they also feel isolated during their maternity leave. But that's okay. Afterall, isn't the mother the natural biological environment for the baby? Doesn't she simply have to set her mind on what she wants, and just do it? We pretend like the community doesn't matter. We act like our neighbourhood resources have little impact on the success or failure of the family, from big moments to small.
Let's stop leaving it just to the mother. We have had 15 years of a shared one year maternity leave in Canada. SHARED. It takes the village to raise a child. Let's stop ignoring the value that fathers can bring to breastfeeding, and family attachment. In Débora's speech, we're going to acknowledge the importance of family support, community resources, and public policy to a family's success. Babywearing is about connection: To community, to friends, to family, to the village. And should be done in support of the family by anyone who cares for them and makes them feel safe.
Post-partum doulas help you find your groove.
by Danielle Stehr, National Capital Doulas
Post-partum doulas are often the lesser known side of support that we can find in our communities. What is a post-partum doula, what benefits do they bring, to both mother and father as they more from birth and beyond. The type of support families need can vary widely and is often dictated by their birth experience, older siblings, partners work schedules and of course the mother's postpartum recovery. Having a professionally trained doula can help with breastfeeding support, family relationships, as well as the mother's postpartum recovery.
Breastfeeding and Babywearing.
by Diane Pepin, owner at Mother's Helper and Débora Rodrigues, President and CEO, Babywearing in Canada Inc.
Keeping baby close helps the breastfeeding relationship enormously. Reading your baby's cues is much easier when the baby is held closer to the mother, and father. In this session, Diane and Débora will discuss proper positioning, what the baby is capable of at different ages. When to use a cradle carry, when to nurse tummy to tummy, and finally, tips and tricks to keep it safe.
Anna Godbout Pinck

Attachment and Sleep.
by Diane Dauphinais, Sound of Sleep
Diane will talk about how sleep looks different for each family. There is a journey each of us chooses for valid reasons, and they include bed sharing, room sharing and independent sleep. To understand which is your journey, Diane will start with how newborn sleep works, identify the various reasons that families seek their own path to sleep which may include helping with postpartum depression and when parents return to work. Diane will also discuss one family's decision-making and journey.
Breastfeeding panel.
moderated by Diane Pepin, Mother's Helper
The panelists were chosen to reflect a wide variety of breastfeeding experiences. In this panel we will hear from a variety of mothers and discuss their breastfeeding journey. Was it easy? What complications did they face? Were they able to access the resources they needed during the tough times, and what was it that helped them make it through. Also on our breastfeeding panel, is a father. We will ask him about his wife's journey, what he felt was his role, and how he feels he contributed to his family's breastfeeding success.

Effective latch and making a difference in the first days.
by Diane Pepin, Mother's Helper
Breastfeeding, it should be easy right? It's natural and it should all come together easily, except that it's not always that simple. That is why Diane will take us through some important factors to consider in the early days, such as examining our breastfeeding expectations, the importance of touch, and skin to skin contact. From there, Diane will discuss how to overcome difficulties in the first days after having a baby and a baby should be held in order to get a more effective latch. This includes a discussion of the stress of birth on mom and baby and how birth impacts the breastfeeding relationship. Therapies like chiropractic, massage and osteopathic therapies will also be discussed.
Post-partum recovery.
by Dr. Krista Lynes, Chiropractor
Dr. Krista Lynes go over how the body works, and teach participants how to strengthen and protect the low back while recovering from pregnancy and labour. The goal of this session is to teach different ways in which baby carriers can be used to protect the low back during day to day activities. Participants will learn simple abdominal and core strengthening exercises that can be performed while carrying a baby in ones arms or in a carrier.
Dad's panel.
moderated by Débora Rodrigues, President and CEO, Babywearing in Canada Inc.
Débora will admit that she is quite excited to get her burning questions answered on the topic of fatherhood. Like did these dads take parental leave and what influenced their decisions? How did these dads help in the raising of their new babes? Did they really just sit around and lift their feet when the vacuuming needed doing? How were they viewed by their community and what comments have their heard in their parenting journey? Which are the things they have enjoyed the most, and liked the least. And finally, how do these dads feel like they helped their partners learn through the parenting journey, and how do they feel they were supported in turn?

Babywearing for Fathers.
by Débora Rodrigues, President and CEO, Babywearing in Canada Inc. with help from Ivan Petrov from Kallababy.com
A baby carrier has to be thought of as not just a parenting tool, but as something akin to clothing. It fits one person very differently than another. And what works for the mother may not work for the father. We will take a look at what influences comfort for dads when babywearing, and how their shape and size will impact their babywearing experience. Proper positioning will also be addressed.
Happy Family: The benefits of dance, music, and babywearing.
by Daniela Pueyo Grand, Dancing Mama
Description: Movement and music are so important to our well-being, and can be used to develop the bonds between all members of the family (not just for moms and babies). Daniela will show how dance, music and babywearing can help increase the overall wellness of a family, both physically and mentally, during pregnancy, postpartum and the childhood years. Daniela's presentation will have a particular focus on mom's wellness during the pre and postnatal stages. More importantly, there are ways to integrate music into our parenting skills for mom, dad, and baby.
Parenting without guilt.
by Gesa Harmston, Life Coach
Becoming a new mother is one of the most wonderful and rewarding changes in life, and it also happens to be one of the most overwhelming. In between the moments of joy can hide feelings of isolation, exhaustion, and self-doubt. Far too many women suffer from postpartum depression and anxiety.
In this presentation Gesa will discuss the importance of postnatal depletion and the need for self care, boundaries, embracing change, reconnecting with ourselves and our community. The amount of physical and mental support that is needed to bring the mother through the stages of pregnancy, birth and postpartum recovery is greater than we realize. With more resources focusing on the mother's recovery as the number one priority, the whole family and entire community wins.
[…] To view the conference agenda, please look here. […]
[…] Purpose of the conference? The conference is part of Babywearing in Canada Week (#BWICweek) which runs from May 21 – 28, 2016, and its focus is on community support and the idea that it takes a village to raise a child. The first day's theme, breastfeeding, will feature speakers who will speak to the importance of what families need for breastfeeding success. The second day's theme is father involvement and focuses on the importance of including both parents in the raising of the baby. Geared toward professionals, service providers, and parents hoping to improve their baby carrying skills, attendees will participate in understanding the impact of birth on women and families post-partum in a uniquely Canadian context.

Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen.
A civilization is a heritage of beliefs, customs, and knowledge slowly accumulated in the course of centuries, elements difficult at times to justify by logic, but justifying themselves as paths when they lead somewhere, since they open up for man his inner distance.
Discovery consists in seeing what everyone else has seen and thinking what no one else has thought.
He who nurtures benevolence for all creatures within his heart overcomes all difficulties and will be the recipient of all types of riches at every step.

For almost 10 months, the story of John Edwards's affair remained the nearly exclusive province of the National Enquirer — through reports, denials, news of a pregnancy, questions about paternity and, finally, a slapstick chase through a hotel in Beverly Hills.
Political blogs, some cable networks and a few newspapers reported on it — or, more accurately, reported on The Enquirer reporting on it. Jay Leno and David Letterman made Mr. Edwards the butt of jokes on their late-night shows, but their own networks declined to report on the rumors surrounding him on the evening news. Why?
A number of news organizations with resources far greater than The Enquirer's, like The New York Times, say they looked into the Edwards matter and found nothing solid enough to report, while others did not look at all.
Some of their comments point to a lack of interest in a story about the private conduct of an also-ran presidential candidate, and a distaste for following the lead of a publication they hold in low esteem. Only in Mr. Edwards's home state, North Carolina, did newspapers aggressively chase the story in the last few weeks.
On Friday, Phil Bronstein, the former editor of The San Francisco Chronicle, in his blog on that paper's Web site, poked fun at the reticence of the mainstream media, "picking at it with their noses held, as if looking for something valuable in a moldy dumpster."Continue reading the main story
"On journalism sites, the finger-pointing, self-loathing, self-righteousness and tut-tutting was massive," he wrote. "Does anyone really think that a story splashed in the tabs and debated on blogs like a powerful fire backdraft is somehow not part of the public discourse?"
The Enquirer first reported the affair in October, and it reported in December that the woman, Rielle Hunter, who had done video production work for the campaign, was pregnant and that Mr. Edwards was the father.
At the time, Mr. Edwards, a former senator from North Carolina, was still very much a presidential candidate, though polls showed him running a distant third for the Democratic nomination. He denied the allegations, and a campaign aide said he, not the candidate, was the father — and Ms. Hunter agreed.
The Los Angeles Times published one brief item in October, focusing on Mr. Edwards's denial of an affair. The New York Daily News wrote about it a few times over the months. But the three broadcast network newscasts, the three cable news networks, and most of the major newspapers and magazines did not say a word.
On July 22, the Enquirer said that one of its reporters had caught Mr. Edwards visiting the mother and child at the Beverly Hilton, and chased him through the hotel. The general media's resistance started to crack then, and it began crumbling after The Enquirer, on Wednesday, published what it said were pictures of that hotel rendezvous, including a grainy photo showing what looked to be Mr. Edwards holding a baby.
Fox News Channel, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Miami Herald and the Web site of New York Magazine were among those that first mentioned The Enquirer reports in late July. MSNBC did so only back-handedly, by showing a clip of Mr. Letterman joking about it.
The Charlotte Observer and The News & Observer of Raleigh have each written about the matter several times over the last nine days, and a Los Angeles Times blog took it up.
But many news organizations — including The New York Times — weighed in only after ABC News announced on Friday that it had an interview with Mr. Edwards, in which he admitted the affair but denied paternity.
"These kinds of allegations fly around about just about every candidate," said Leonard Downie Jr., executive editor of The Washington Post, which had not written about the affair until Friday. "We checked them out and we asked questions, and at no time did we have any facts to report."
After Mr. Edwards dropped out of the race last winter, it was not clear that there was any relevance to the story, Mr. Downie said. The Post began looking into it more seriously in the last few weeks, in light of a possible Edwards role at the Democratic convention or in a Barack Obama administration.
CNN, which first mentioned the affair on Friday, "had been working the story since it first broke in The Enquirer late last year," said Sam Feist, the political director. "We sent people to Chapel Hill, we sent people to California."
But, he said, "Edwards denied it, the woman denied it," and "you have to have some sort of evidence before you put something on the air."
Paul Friedman, senior vice president of CBS News, said the network did not actively pursue the story when it broke last fall. Asked if that was because it had first appeared in The National Enquirer, he said, "Exactly."
In the months since then, Mr. Friedman said, CBS kept track of the story but did not actively pursue it. "We saw no reason to make his life or the life of his family any worse, until it became well-documented or he admitted it, which is what happened today," he said.
The New York Times looked into the Enquirer reports last fall, though none too aggressively, editors said.
Bill Keller, the executive editor, said in an e-mail message that Mr. Edwards's dark-horse status and the "added hold-your-nose quality about The Enquirer" contributed to the lack of interest by The Times and the mainstream media generally.
Like Mr. Downie, he said that the questions seemed irrelevant once Mr. Edwards was out of the race, but that recently, The Times had "tried to ascertain whether the cloud generated by The Enquirer's reporting had influenced the Obama campaign in its thinking about a future role for Edwards."Continue reading the main story

Examination of brain activity has recently been made easier with the discovery by MIT bio-engineers of the properties of a protein known as "Jaws". This discovery could in the long term enable neurons to be manipulated non-invasively, using a light source outside the skull.
A discovery by researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the United States looks set to revolutionise optogenetics, a technology that allows scientists to monitor, model and control some brain functionality by shining light on neurons. Up to now the technique has required a light source to be implanted in the brain, where it can reach the cells to be manipulated. Now however the MIT team have engineered a protein which allows the light source to be diffused from outside the skull. In addition to being non-invasive, thus avoiding potential problems arising from an implant, the technique also allows a larger volume of tissue to be influenced at the same time. Optogenetics, which basically uses light-sensitive proteins that can suppress or stimulate electrical signals within cells, helps to advance neurologists' understanding of the various functions of the neurons and enables them to map neural networks.
Revealing the potential of 'Jaws'
Optogenetics provides a means of silencing or stimulating specific types of neurons in the brain, allowing neuroscientists to learn more about their functions. The neurons to be studied must first be genetically engineered to produce light-sensitive proteins known as opsins. The researchers then insert a light source, usually an optical fibre, into the brain to manipulate the selected neurons. Ph.D student Amy Chuong and her fellow-researchers in a team led by Ed Boyden, an associate professor of biological engineering and brain and cognitive sciences at MIT, observed that many microbes and other organisms use opsins to detect light and react to their environment. However, while most of the natural opsins currently being used for optogenetics respond best to blue or green light, the deepest penetration into living tissue is achieved by red light. Chuong engineered one of the relatives of a red light sensitive protein and tested its electrical activity. The result of her work is a mutant strain known as 'Jaws', which retains its red light sensitivity but has a much stronger photocurrent – sufficiently powerful to shut down neural activity.
Using optogenetics to treat disorders
At the moment the Jaws opsin is being tested on mice, but the US researchers believe that being able to diffuse light from outside the skull means that the technique could be used on animals with larger brains. Further down the road this non-invasive approach could lead to the development of optogenetic treatment for brain disorders such as epilepsy and other neurological conditions. It might even be feasible to stimulate and improve the mental capabilities of people who do not suffer from any cerebral abnormalities. Another possible field of application is to treat people suffering from retinitis pigmentosa, an eye condition whereby vital light-sensitive cells called 'cones' slowly atrophy, eventually leading to blindness. The MIT team have demonstrated Jaws' ability to restore some light sensitivity to retinal cones in mice. The next step will be to test the protein's compatibility and efficacy with human eyes.

Mobile Phone Software – what is a big deal about spy applications
Secrets aren't free; they have a price, and the one who has it is liable for paying that price. Well, there is nothing wrong in having secrets as long as they don't ruin your relationships. But sometimes situations get out of control, and we need to discover those secrets. So, how would we do that? You need a secret agent for that, and no agent is better than spy applications. One can find spy software on every other website as there are millions of users of it.
We can't deny the fact that gadgets have made it easy for people to create trouble for others. But as you know we know problems lead to solutions as well, and we can use the same gadget to get rid of it. Don't worry; here I am going to explain everything about spy app that ought to be in your knowledge. The guide let you discover how to get a peace of mind with them? Know things you could do with it; even it acts as a protector to your loved ones. Let's get it started.
Spy applications evolution
It has been many decades since the introduction of spying application, and between these years, it has evolved a lot. It is true that its popularity has increased tremendously in the past few years, but it does exist before than that. Introduction of smartphones could be the main reason behind its fan following. Whatever the reason is, we are pleased with the introduction of spy software but how was it a few decades back? You can even get contents about spy app revolution on curespy.com website.
Traditional spying applications
When it was introduced, it wasn't advanced as it is now due to lack of technical drawbacks and programming. Due to this, traditional applications requires possession of others device or phone for tracking details. But as the time passes, the drawbacks got rectified by the programmers, and now we have smart and advance applications. Now, they can track details without being installed on the target phone.
Its features are evolved as well. Previously, it was meant to record only calls, text messages which exclude multimedia content and social media messages. But today's' applications can extract each detail of the target phone. The good is that the evolution cycle has not ended yet and it will never be because it is a never-ending process. The evolution cycle will never stop, and we will get more advanced applications in future for sure.
Modern VS The traditional one
Recently developed applications offer numerous benefits over the traditional one. It has more features via which proper spying work can be done. It is built with advanced programming which is responsible for its smooth functioning. Unlike old days, where one always had a fear of getting caught by the target person is not the case with today's spy applications. They are safer than ever because of "remotely control" feature where one can track activities without getting near to the phone they want to track.
Advance applications have made it easy to trace them without being a suspect in the eyes of your target. Programmers have worked hard to resolve the safety issue associated with the spy apps. In simple words, we have a more advanced version of such applications that are making our job easier.
Basic features of spy applications
How can you figure out the best spy applications? Obviously, by its features as more features, an app has, more it is useful. But one needs to spend some extra cash for extra features. See, there is two type of spy apps available these days, i.e., free apps having limited features and paid apps having unlimited features.
Many people think that every spy app is similar to each other, but it is not especially their features. But here is an array of the basic spy app features:
Track call records
There is no big evidence than having a conversation details and records of the target person. Spy apps are built with this feature and each one of them has it. You can listen to the conversation along with the call details.
Track text messages
Getting conversation details going on in the messaging box could also be an important detail. People tend to talk about text messages more than they do on phone calls. Due to this reason, this has made the second position in the list of basic spy app features.
GPS tracker
Before the introduction of GPS trackers, people used to follow the person on they were spying. But that old time has gone as today we have GPS trackers as a basic feature in spy applications. Via this feature, track locations or even locate the target person to know where they are now? However, real-time tracking feature might not be available in free apps.
This is it about the basic features. Let's move forward to know about the extra features of spy app that may or may not be available in free apps, but paid applications have them.
Other spy app features
The features I am going to list down below aren't basics, but some free apps have them. So, let's have a look:
Tracking browsing history
You may have heard the jokes on "browsing history, " and the joke is quite true. Browsing history could tell a lot about what he/she has been thinking? Everything typed in the search can be tracked by the spy app. Know the websites your loved ones are visiting, what are they watching online, etc. You can even block those websites that aren't meant for your children or even for a spouse.
The correct word for this feature is "exclusive" as this one isn't available even in most of the paid applications. It records keystrokes on any device via which you could know about the typed words. The primary purpose of keylogger feature is to keep you update regarding the security password of the target person.
Remotely control
The feature is a king of all the spy app features. As said before that modern app requires no possession of any device, and for that, you should thank this "remotely control" feature. Via SMS command, you can control the target phone activities which are carried out through an online portal.
Track multimedia files
One cannot overlook audio or video files of the target phone as they may be having some important details in it. View who send video or audio on the target phone, know its content and get the details of the sender or receiver.
Ambience recording
If you want to know what is going around that person when he/she is far away from you then, this feature is advantageous. Via this, you can listen to the surrounding noise which would help you to figure out the location or place.
Alert notifications
Any changes made to the target phone that isn't in your knowledge could ruin your spying work. So, this feature let you know about the new things like apps or any card inserted in the phone. It can be anything like SIM card, a memory card or they might have changed their number. So, get to know everything about the target device.
Call log tracker
Incoming and outgoing calls can be easily tracked with call log feature. It let you view the date, time and day on which the call has made. One can even view the contact list of the target phone. They won't be able to hide anything from you.
Track social media
According to parents, it is the most dangerous place for kids, and somehow it is true though. Social media is a place where one can encounter with people who could be a predator but seems like a friend. In this case, it becomes parents' responsibility to protect their kids, and this feature helps them. Track every content posted or shared on social media and watched your kids closely.

Spy applications – What else it can do
What would your reaction if all of your tracked data get lost? I think that would be the worst day of anyone life which has put all of his/her efforts to gather that information. But guy's solution is always there; all you need is just to find it. Have you heard about cloud recording of tracked data? If not then let me explain you.
Imagine your device has been corrupted or damaged due to any reason in which you had all the tracked data. But after this, it won't be there anymore, and now you are wondering what you would have done to save it? Well, there no point in regretting about your acts when everything has gone. You should record all the data online, i.e., on the browser.
When you do this then it won't get anywhere from there even if your device gets damaged, you won't lose any data. You should always choose a cloud storage option so that all your efforts never go in vain.
What should one be looking for a spy application?
The content is enough to make your mind about the spy applications. But wait you need to learn the spy applications are buying tips as well. We are going to what precautions one has to take while going for paid applications?
Take a look at reviews first
One should utilize the power of internet especially when you are investing in a spy app. Though they cost less than your one dinner cost but why even pay that little amount for some junk? The internet is flooded with spy app reviews which have made buying app easy for you. Dig out some good reviews, take your time and read them carefully. And choose the one you think is the best option for your spying needs.
Customer support service
Applications are something that requires regular updates and bug fix. The spy app selling companies should not be after when they need your money. They should follow you even after selling their products. Along with this, they should have an active customer support number via which one can contact them.
The best place to find out the reality of customer support service is the review or comment section. Go through it and see what other customers have to say about their services and products.
Competitive price
Little variations in price are ok, but if it gets double the price of what others are charging, then it's better to move on. Irrespective of the quality or features, the cost of almost all paid applications are nearly same. Price may vary, but the difference is very little. However, some companies rob their customers by proclaiming that their app is unique and their features are one of a kind.
One or two features could be different or might be unique, but this doesn't give them right to charge value higher than what prevails in the market. Never let such fraud companies fool you as always compare the application price concerning their features. If it seems ok and right to you then only buy them.
Qualities of an ideal spy app
So after getting introduced to the qualities of a spy app company, let's know what their apps supposed to have?
The target person should not get even a little clue that his/her device is being tracked by another person. The applications must be non-trackable otherwise there is no point of using them. They would get you in trouble.
It shouldn't be as hard as he is launching a rocket. Any user can easily use it, and its functions should be easy to use.
Off-course without good features, an application is nothing. It also has multiple features for better data tracking experience.

Currently, M.I.A. is locked in a legal battle with the NFL over The Middle Finger Moment that occurred during Madonna's Super Bowl XLVI halftime performance in 2012. Though she initially justified the gesture as a "display of female empowerment" in the face of "powerful corporation dick-shaking," M.I.A. is now claiming her middle finger was actually a spiritual gesture to the Hindu Goddess Matangi.
The revelation came during a recent interview with NPR, where the singer said the gesture was a display of the "Matangi mudra." She explained: "In America you have gang signs, and people throw up initials and stuff like that. Well, 5,000 years ago, there was thing called a mudra, which is your sitting position when you do yoga or you're meditating or praying or whatever. And you have different ones based on what you're meditating over. There's not a lot of them that are named after gods and goddesses, but the middle finger is specifically named Matangi — the Matangi mudra."
Serving as the namesake of M.I.A's new album, it's worth noting that Matangi is considered the "bad-ass rebel" of Hindu, embodying "pollution, inauspiciousness and the periphery of society." And according to several practitioners of yoga, this specific mudra "strengthens the respiratory rhythm and the energy balance around the solar plexus." It's also really effective in annoying and irritating Madonna, it turns out.
Here, M.I.A further explains her sudden outburst of yogic expression:
So you were not giving America the middle finger? This was the Matangi symbol?
M.I.A.: Yes. Do you like that? (Laughing) It's good, isn't it?
Something tells me that there might have been another meaning in that.
M.I.A.: It's cultural! In my country, it's godly. OK?
Is the NFL believing that? I know they're suing you.
M.I.A.: Of course the NFL is not believing that, because the NFL does not believe in any other culture outside of the NFL. But it's true; you can Wikipedia it. You can just say "Matangi" and "mudra," and you'll see it's the middle finger.
Matangi the album is out today via Interscope. (Stream it here.) And in case you need more proof that the Matangi mudra is a real thing, here's a helpful demonstration:

Talking with Vance Joy
By Lindsey Lowe Osborne
You're not going to believe this.
Vance Joy and I are basically (as they say) the same person.
OK, maybe not exactly, but we do both share a soft spot for the English singer/songwriter Johnny Flynn. The difference, I guess, is that Joy's channeled his affection for what Flynn impressed upon him into a thriving musical career. I, on the other hand, once got "let go" from piano lessons when I was 12 because my piano teacher didn't think we had a future together. (Don't feel bad for me—this month I got to interview Vance Joy and am feeling pretty good about it.)
"It seemed like fate because I had been listening to [Flynn] all day and happened to look at the website for the venue and saw he was playing that night," Joy, an Australian native, says of his encounter with Flynn. "It was easy to think it was fate…I was in love with the songs and was really inspired by his guitar playing. He was doing things that were so far ahead of where I was at that time so he seemed like an example of what I'd like to do."
Joy—whose real name is James Keogh (his moniker was lifted from an Australian novel)—tucked into music as a career when he made the decision to pursue it full-time instead of continuing to complete his law degree. "I'm lucky in that I feel like it really evolved naturally for me to be playing music," he says. "I picked up a guitar at 14 and was playing covers. Five years later, I was playing what were some pretty average attempts at songwriting—my beginning. At 21 or 22, I wrote my first decent song that would appeal to people (not just people who knew me). That was a good turning point for me and from there I got addicted to songwriting. I worked at it a lot, but I found it was something that I got a lot of satisfaction from and felt I had a knack for."
He released an EP, God Loves You When You're Dancing, in 2013, which was followed by his breakout single, "Riptide." "I think the main 'pinch me' moment was when I was in Amsterdam and heard someone singing a cover of 'Riptide' and my manager turned the phone around and it was Taylor Swift during her BBC Live Lounge," Joy says. "At that point I was like, 'What?!' It was crazy to think that such a huge artist is aware of what you're doing and is into it to the point that she's learned your song and done a beautiful version of it. That's hard to top and it led to getting to go on tour with her… hard to top." Joy released his first full-length album, dream your life away, in 2014, and, as he alluded to, was invited to be a part of Taylor Swift's The 1989 World Tour shortly thereafter. Saying yes, he says, was a "no-brainer."
Joy's currently on his own tour for his newest album, Nation of Two (you can catch him at Sloss Fest at Sloss Furnaces in July.) I can guarantee it's a show you don't want to miss, because it's a show that will make you happy. Joy's music is bright but rooted—fun but full of heart. "The songs that I like, they elicit some emotion or some feeling. They pump you up, like you want to bang the steering wheel to the beat or you want to sing along because it penetrates your heart in some way," he explains. "So I want songs that can do that—that affect people emotionally and make them bob their heads. Like when I listen to Mumford & Sons, I think, 'This guy is ripping it and there's a force to it.' I aim to have that same power in some way."

Search Engine Optimization April 30th, 2009
A couple of weeks ago, Google announced an update to their site links feature in search results. Site links have historically shown up in the first result of a search query, such as what you can see in this image, 2 columns of links vertically.
In Google's One-Line Sitelinks announcement, they are modifying how Site links are shown, by displaying them all on one line and not necessarily for only the first search result.
From Google:
Until now, sitelinks have only ever appeared on the first search result, and so at most one site could have sitelinks per query. We're now launching an expansion of sitelinks: a single row of links can now appear for results that didn't show sitelinks before, even for results that aren't in the first position. This means multiple results on one query can now have sitelinks. Up to four sitelinks can show up right above the page URL, instead of the usual two columns below the URL of the first result.
In the images below, you will see how they will show to users
In Google's announcement they use the search term nutrition, to reference the changes, so I will do the same.
What you will notice, is that the Sitelinks result is different depending on Google Country, using the same key term.
In Google.com only the first result has the horizontal sitelinks.
In Canada's Google.ca the fourth result contains horizontal sitelinks.
In Google UK google.co.uk the first and third result has the horizontal sitelinks.
As of today, it's clear this new update is still a work in progress, and hasn't been fully implemented, as noted in this search showing the 2-column vertical links.
The obvious benefit for the searcher is more options on which pages to click for the given web site, and also gives the searcher a better idea of what the site is about before clicking. This means better website usability!
Sites that have gained reputation and history with Google seem to have these sitelinks, and those businesses that have them listed benefit from an enhanced listing, as well as greater visibility and reputation.
Currently, there is no way to customize Google Sitelinks, with exception to Google's Webmaster Tools which lists current sitelinks, where you can state which of those you would like to block.
Google won't say for certain how you can get them or how it exactly works however, in my experience here is a list of things that can influence visible sitelink navigation under your search listing:
You'll notice that these suggestions are basically the same as to what you should be doing to optimize your web site for SEO. Quality content, an established domain and a well structured web site is the key to performing well in Search Engine Results. Go figure.
2 Comments
i dont know; they seem to appear a bit random. The .ca is fourth. What happened to the top ones and should it not happen to the top 3 not just the odd 1?
Good and Informative post! This site links look better now than before. It works for sub domains too!
Google has really made some good updates in getting there.

RENO, Nev. (KOLO) -- Reno Police continue to investigate a case in which five people were treated for minor injuries after being hit by a pickup driver during a confrontation in downtown Reno. It happened the evening of October 10, 2016, during a Columbus Day protest put on by the American Indian Movement of Northern Nevada (AIMNN).
Police say a group of about 40 protesters, with no protest permit, was standing in the crosswalk blocking traffic at the Reno arch. Some of the protesters were from the American Indian Movement of Northern Nevada. The driver of a pickup drove southbound on Virginia Street and stopped in front of the protest, at which point, police say, several of the protesters approached the truck. There was a confrontation between the occupants of the truck and the protesters that went on for about a minute. At some point during the confrontation with the protesters, the driver of the truck drove forward through the crowd before leaving the scene.
There are witness accounts, still being investigated, that the truck was seen multiple times in the area before the incident.
According to REMSA, one person was taken to a hospital with minor trauma injuries. Four other patients refused transportation to a hospital; two of those were the truck driver and passenger; two were protesters.
Reno Police say the driver of the pickup stopped several blocks away and called police to provide his account of the events. He and his passenger were interviewed and are cooperating with the ongoing investigation. No one has been charged and no names have been released.
According to Lorayn Walser, Secretary of AIMNN, the organization was having a peaceful protest downtown. It wants Columbus Day to be changed to Indigenous People's Day in Nevada.

Top 5 blogging tips that you would give to new bloggers?
Keep a separate diary with the dates of blog tours, publication dates of any arcs you're reading and anything else to do with your blog – this will also help you manage your TBR pile (or not!!)
If you use Twitter, add a 'pinned tweet' with your latest blog post and– it's a great way for people to return a retweet and for you to promote a particular post
Try to ignore statistics about followers and views– they are fickle and distracting
Ask to join some of the book blogger Facebook pages – they are such a source of inspiration, support, friendship and a fountain of knowledge to all those questions we all have!
Always be respectful about the books you review even when it's not your cup of tea. Someone has poured their heart and soul into those pages and writing a novel is so much harder than it looks!

My name is Katherine Sunderland and I am a bibliomaniac! I love books – reading them, reviewing them and talking about them!
In January 2016 I started my blog, https://bibliomaniacuk.blogspot.co.uk where I share my book reviews, guest posts, author interviews and blog tour posts.
I run Bibliomaniac events in a lovely pub in the town where I live. Authors come along and chat about their books; people have a chance to buy the books, enjoy a drink, win prizes in a raffle and mingle with the authors.
In 2017 I launched a virtual Bibliomaniac's Book Club which is a monthly blog post with a paperweight choice and a paperlight choice depending on the kind of thing your group is looking for. I provide questions, discussion topics and lots of other things to help kick start any book group's book chat.
I now have a website too https://www.bibliomaniacuk.co.uk so you can catch up with a weekly update of my current reads, buy tickets for my events and catch up with any interviews or blog tour posts you may have missed!

If you've been to London and enjoyed visiting the British Museum ( www.britishmuseum.org), we are sure you are going to like the recently inaugurated Museum of World Cultures of Barcelona. Similar in their philosophy as well as in what they have to offer, both museums make their visitors get immersed in the past and present of a variety of civilisations through displays full of ancient objects, old writings and other curiosities, only that the one located in Catalonia (Museu de Cultures del Món in Catalan) gathers entire private collections which you won't find anywhere else, since they are the personal contribution of local explorers who once adventured into remote corners of Africa, America, Asia and Oceania.
Barcelona's Museum of World Cultures opened its doors to visitors for the first time on February 7th, 2015, and they have announced that everyone will be granted free admission to all the exhibitions until April 7th, 2015, so make sure you include this plan in your trip schedule.
How to get to the Museu de Cultures del Món in Barcelona and opening times
The museum is located at Montcada Street, pretty near another famous Barcelona museum –Museu Picasso-, the Ciutadella Park and the Born Market. To many, the fastest and easiest way to get there is by riding the tube: get on Line L4 up to Jaume I station, on Line L1 and get off at Arc de Triomf or on Line L3 to the Liceu terminus. In order to know which metro line suits you best, visit www.tmb.cat.
The Museu de Cultures del Món remains open Tuesday through Saturday from 10 am to 7 pm, with an extra hour (until 8 pm) on Sundays and on the occasion of some local festivities. Without a doubt, it is a unique opportunity to see how life used to be like in other continents without leaving Barcelona, apart from the fact that it also constitutes an enriching cultural activity that you can enjoy completely free of charge.

Ambassador Bermann looks ahead to 2016
The Ambassador gives her preview of a busy year on both sides of the Channel
After the year that has just gone by, I feel extremely moved to be wishing a very Happy New Year to our British friends and the French community here. It's an opportunity to say thank you once again for your friendship and solidarity during what was a very difficult year for France and its people.
A year on from the horrific Charlie Hebdo shootings and following the appalling attacks of 13 November 2015 in Paris – both of which saw outpourings of public support in the UK and messages of condolence from members of the Royal Family, Prime Minister David Cameron, Home Secretary Theresa May and Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond among others – now more than ever I'm thankful for the close relationship that exists between our two countries, France and the UK.
Many thanks to Prime Minister @David_Cameron for signing the book of condolence this morning in solidarity w/ France pic.twitter.com/YX9jpkcOWL
— France in the UK (@FranceintheUK) November 17, 2015
Our unity will be very important in 2016 too. This year will see the French-British Combined Joint Expeditionary Force become ready for action. We're already fighting together: HMS Defender is as I write protecting the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle combatting Daesh in the Middle East.
There is much to do in the fight against terrorism. But together with our allies, we are committed to eradicating this evil. In World War II, Britain and France stood shoulder-to-shoulder to defeat a common enemy and defend the values of freedom and democracy. Today, over 70 years later, we stand united again.
It is a sober start to the New Year as we remember the victims of the Charlie Hebdo massacres, but there are also many positives to look forward to in 2016. Having secured the first ever legally-binding universal agreement to cut greenhouse gas emissions at the Paris climate summit at the end of last year, France retains the presidency of the UN climate negotiations until November 2016, when it's handed over to Morocco. There'll be a lot of work to do between now and then to ensure the implementation of the Paris agreement gets off to a good start and enable the deal to reach its ambitious targets.
After COP21, France will be hosting another huge global event in 2016… of a slightly different nature this time! A record 24 sides will contest the UEFA Euro Championship in France this year, with dozens of games taking place in June and July in host cities across the country, including Bordeaux, Lille, Marseille, Nice, Paris and Toulouse.
I'm not sure at what stage in the competition France will meet one of the UK teams, but after the nail-biting game between England and Wales in the Rugby World Cup last September, their head-to-head in the group round of the football this summer will definitely be one to watch! Quite fittingly, the match is being played in Lens, a short hop across the Channel in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region. I hope it'll be a chance for British fans to discover this town, renowned for its friendly football supporters as well as its very own Louvre Museum. However many goals are scored, Euro 2016, like the Paris climate summit, will be an opportunity to show the world France's determination to carry on as normal – French 'sang-froid' at its finest.
Football won't be the only reason to visit France this year. In the summer, as part of the First World War centenary commemorations, we will be marking 100 years since the Battle of the Somme, when more than a million British and French soldiers fought side by side. A major commemorative event organized jointly by the French and UK governments will take place at the Thiepval Memorial on 1 July, and events in the Somme region will continue in the subsequent months to remember the fallen from all nations. Amiens, the closest city to the Somme Front, will be hosting a rich cultural, scientific and artistic programme throughout the summer.
This year also marks 950 years since the Battle of Hastings, an anniversary that falls in the very year that, for the first time in centuries, Normandy goes back to being a single political entity following the redrawing of the map of France to reduce its number of regions from 22 to 13.
While all that's going on in France, here in the London embassy we also have a busy few months ahead. One of the things I'm most looking forward to is presenting more British D-Day veterans with the Légion d'honneur. I awarded the distinction, which is France's highest, to dozens of veterans during the course of 2015, and some 2,000 have now received their medals in total. The ceremonies are always very touching events and I consider it a true honour to meet and talk to these men who risked their lives for our country over 70 years ago on the beaches of Normandy.
It wouldn't be a year at the French Embassy without a gastronomic extravaganza on the cards. And this year it comes again in the shape of Goût de France/Good France, a celebration of French cuisine which will see restaurants around the UK join chefs worldwide in serving up a show-stopping French supper on 21 March. It's been a fantastic year for French food, with three French restaurants making it into the top 10 of La Liste's 2015 'World's 1,000 Outstanding Restaurants' ranking. I can't wait to see (and hopefully taste!) what delights French cuisine has got to offer this year.
Finally, the start of 2016 will see the UK launch of Créative France, an international campaign aimed at highlighting France's ingenuity and creativity across sectors from technology to design, industry and education. The campaign will show off French inventions and technologies, as well as some well-known French entrepreneurs and innovators who have achieved amazing things. With so much cooperation between UK and French businesses and start-ups, I'm hopeful these success stories will be sources of inspiration here and encourage even greater cross-fertilization between our two countries.
On that note, I wish you a very prosperous, as well as happy, year. Bonne année 2016!
Sylvie Bermann, French Ambassador to the UK

So who want to give an S plan PIN out to a future CX-5 owner Worth a shot at least.
quotes from dealer
so 1st quote is $400 over invoice and seems like 2nd quote with tech package is a better deal ?
Your 2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring Automatic:
Total MSRP: $24,690.00
Your Net Price: $24,005.00 + Fees
Your 2013 Mazda CX-5 Touring Automatic:
+ Moonroof/Bose Package: $1,130.00
+ Technology Package: $1,185.00
Total MSRP: $27,005.00
Your Net Price: $26,066.00 + Fees
really invoice is what the dealers are charged on paper. what dealers really pay for a car is about 1k less..
it is called holdback and lots of other stuff is involved. dont really think in the long run what the actual cost on the car is know. depends on how long it sits on the lot, how fast the model is selling and a few other different things.. i got a 2010 mazdaspeed 3 in the middle of 2010 for 1500 below invoice. plus tax title and license.. right place right time..
i am interested in a cx5. but will wait till the overpaying is over.
anyone know if invoice on touring is actually 24,000 per quote i got from the dealer or $23,647 per edmund.com ? dealer said they can show the paperwork to support $24,000 and duno how edmunds.com got that figure.
or per swoope...their cost may be $23,000 ?
if i could get a splan pin code, would i be able to get an even better deal ?
For those living in Minnesota. Took ownership last week from Minnesota, USA Mazda dealership - "best price model". 2013 CX-5 Touring, AWD, Moonroof/Bose, Tech. Total MSRP including delivery, processing and handling fee of $795 = $28,255.
Minus Costco Auto Pricing that worked out to be $500 less than their "best price" + Minus $500 Auto Show rebate (ends March 31st!) = $27,204
I think that might be below invoice.
Thanks for post Mpls. I am from the cities area too (Apple Valley,mn), have been thinking about this car. Would love to hear about your mpg experiences and driving the highway accelerating from 40-65mph. IM me if you dont want to post.
Thanks again.
udayse, running hard on city traffic 20 miles RT commute and sort of seeing what it can do... 24 mpg. 300 miles on the odo. supposed to run it up and down no cruise for the first 600 miles. runs fine at that speed range. passing cars are not a problem but you do have to expect pressing the accelerator, a slight delay, higher rev as it shifts, then all good. that's my experience. compared to my 1999 vw passat v6 it doesn't have the power of course but it's been more fun to drive - go figure. i took a tight turn at a higher speed than you should and just before it settled into the curve, just as i leaned it into the curve, the wheels hopped a bit, no lie. not sure what that means but again i was pushing it a bit since it's been fun to drive. hope that helps. BTW not all the dealerships gave me that pricing in the twin cities. i had to go east near white bear... not sure what the rules are on this board about naming dealers though.
wish there was more info about the cx-5 awd and snow...
Hi Mpls,
Thanks for the info. I know the dealer you are talking about. I have been eyeing their inventory. Kinda sad about the delay in shifts. I know its minor, but still.. Its not like a fly by wire thing.
Received my CX-5 GX FWD (6 sp manual) with convenience package on 3/26/2012. It took 2.5 weeks to arrive. I love it so far as it offers the best combination I was looking for - room for family, handling, fuel economy, excellent value. I was able to negotiate about $1,000 off the MSRP. Incl. all taxes fees etc, I paid about $30K. Good thing my CIBC Driver's Edge Card will give me about $5K in redeemed rewards.
Got my cx-5 gt w/ tech package this week. Got $2400 off msrp plus all weather mats thrown in. Not sure why i got this deal but i think they wanted to get the car out of their lot. It was not a demo though, it had 11 km on it.

BIG SEAN: Giving Back to Detroit
TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- Big Sean launched his foundation in 2012 and he's obviously remained committed to it and to his hometown.
- It's so important not to forget where you come from.
- The fact that Sean's mother is running his foundation says a lot about who he is.
This coming Saturday and Sunday are big days for Big Sean.
The rapper will attend multiple events as part of his hometown's Detroit's On Now Weekend, which his foundation is putting on in partnership with the Boys and Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan.
At a media-only event on Saturday, he'll help inaugurate the Sean Anderson Foundation Production Studio at the Dauch Boys and Girls Club. It's a place where kids interested in careers in entertainment and fashion can learn the nuts and bolts of both businesses.
He'll stick around the Dauch campus for an appearance at a block party that will include job, health and life assistance programs, in addition to music and dance. That will be followed by a mental health panel he'll take part in alongside author and scholarMichael Eric Dyson and celebrity psychiatrist -- and friend of Beyoncé-- Dr. Jessica Clemons.
On Sunday, he'll lead a free night of bowling at Garden Bowl in Detroit's Majestic complex that's open to anyone who signs up through Eventbrite.
Sean's mom,Myra Anderson, who runs his Foundation, tells theDetroit Free-Pressthat DON Weekend "came out of him wanting to do something for the city — and acknowledging the people still in the city who didn't leave for the suburbs, the people who have stayed in Detroit."

Yaakov 4 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)
4 From where do milchamot (wars) come? What is their goirem (driving force)? And from where come fights among you? Is it not from here, from the ta'avot (lusts) of you warring in your evarim (members)?
2 You lust for something and you do not have it; you kill and you envy and you are not able to obtain. You get involved in machalokot (divisions of dissensions) and fights. You do not have because you fail to daven with your request.
3 Or you make techinot (petitions) and you do not receive, because you ask wrongly, that on your ta'avot (lusts) you may spend what you receive. [TEHILLIM 18:41; 66:18]
4 No'efot (adulterers)! Do you not have da'as that to have shaichus (closeness, friendship, intimacy) with the Olam Hazeh is eyvah im Hashem (enmity with G-d)? Therefore, whoever chooses to make the Olam Hazeh his Oihev is made an Oyev (Enemy) of Hashem. [YESHAYAH 54:4; YIRMEYAH 3:20; HOSHEA 2:2-5; 3:1; 9:1]
5 Or do you think that in vain the Kitvei Hakodesh attests that Hashem yearns jealously over the Ruach Hakodesh He causes to dwell in us?
6 But He gives all the more Chen v'Chesed! Therefore it says, "Hashem LALETZIM HU YALITZ V'LA'ANAYIM YITEN CHEN ("Hashem opposes the proud mocker but gives grace to the humble" [MISHLE 3:34]).
7 Submit yourselves in mishma'at (obedience) to Hashem. Resist Hasatan, and he will flee from you.
8 Draw near to Hashem and Hashem will draw near to you. Cleanse your yadayim (hands), you chote'im (sinners)! And purify your levavot, you anashim of double mind! [TEHILLIM 73:28; ZECHARYAH 1:3; MALACHI 3:7; YESHAYAH 1:16; TEHILLIM 24:4; 119:113; YIRMEYAH 4:14]
9 Lament and mourn and weep. Let the tzechok (laughter) of you be changed to avelut (mourning), and the simcha of you be turned to tugah (sadness).
10 Be humbled before Hashem and He will exalt you. [IYOV 5:11]
11 Do not speak lashon hora against an Ach b'Moshiach. The one speaking against an Ach b'Moshiach or setting himself up as a shofet (judge) of his Ach b'Moshiach speaks against the Torah and sets himself up as shofet of the Torah. Now if the Torah you judge, you are not Shomrei HaTorah but a shofet.
12 One is the Mekhokek (Law-Giver) and HaShofet (The Judge), the One who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you, the one who has set yourself up as the shofet of your re'a (neighbor)?
13 Come now, you who say, "Hayom (today) or makhar (tomorrow) we will go into this or that city and we will do business there a year and will sell and make a revach (profit)."
14 Yet you do not even have da'as of what tomorrow's "yom" may bring. Look at your life! Are you not an ed (mist), appearing a short time, then indeed disappearing? [IYOV 7:7; TEHILLIM 39:5; 102:3; 144:4; YESHAYAH 2:22]
15 Instead of this, you ought to say "Im yirtzeh Hashem" ("if the L-rd wills") "we will live, also we will do this or that."
16 But now you boast in your pretensions. All such ravrevanut (boastfulness) is ra'ah (evil, wickedness).
17 To the one having da'as, therefore, knowing to do tov and not doing it, to him it is chet.

Adorable Baby Deer Just Can't Figure Out How To Play With A Ball (VIDEO)
This cute fawn is having trouble playing with a ball. But is adorable doing it anyway.
It tries and tries and well… the ball doesn't seem to do what it wants it to do. LOL
I love this!
