About unmoderated.co.uk
This is, believe it or not, an unmoderated web forum. It's aimed primarily at musicians and wannabe stars, etc, but you don't have to be one to join, and the topics covered don't have to be musical or music-related. We'll kick out nasty people posting really nasty stuff, but other than that, you can say what you like.
It's unmoderated because we want to allow people to say what they mean, and to say it how they want to say it.

Devine Machine's New Name @ PowerFX
Miracle Beats ---------------------------- Miracle Beats is a sample CD and VSTi combination that includes the "LoopMorph" technology.
LoopMorph technology takes drum loops and creates individual slices, then automatically splits each element of the drum kit - hi hat, bass drum, snare, etc. - and separates them on to individual tracks with each slice. This provides the user with control over the individual elements of the drum loop by splitting and combining and rearranging the elements, sounds and patterns of different loops.
The Miracle Beats VSTi can rearrange, split, morph and turn the 500 included loops into an infinite number of possibilities within any VST host application.
Free Version available....2 Tracks though...
Full Version is 99.00 USD 8 Tracks in Full Version w/ unlimited variations/combinations
Not a bad little machine for a S/W type. The Hammerhead Drumsynth is about as good but not as elaborate or flexable as far as files readable !! But HH is FREE......

Light… it's the most essential element of vision. We are surrounded by it all day, whether it be natural or artificial.
So it's no surprise that we frequently get asked if certain types of light can negatively affect our eyes. Here we've compiled some tips so you can protect your eyes and prevent strain!
Adjust Your Workspace To Reduce Eye Strain
The American Optometric Association reports that over half of office workers who regularly use computers suffer from eye strain. You may not know it, but it's not just caused by staring at your computer. The lighting surrounding your workspace could be making it worse. Here are some tips:
- Reduce interior lighting: Most offices have harsh interior lighting that can contribute to eyestrain. If possible, use fewer light bulbs and fluorescent tubes.
- Minimize glare: If there is a window directly in front or behind you, your eyes are working much harder than they need to be due to the glare and reflections on your computer screen. You can move or adjust your workstation, close the blinds, or get an anti-reflective coating on your glasses to reduce glare.
- Adjust screen brightness: The blue light from the computer contributes to eye strain as well. Adjusting your brightness so it's approximately the same as your surrounding workstation can help.
Improve The Lighting In Your Home
Remember when your parents used to tell you that reading in dim lighting will ruin your eyesight? While reading in the dark won't do any lasting damage, it can give you a nasty headache. Doing any task that requires more intense focus in poor lighting can result in eye strain and all the uncomfortable symptoms that come with it.
Here's a hint: take advantage of task lighting around your home. Desk lamps, reading lamps, under-cabinet lighting for kitchen work areas, among other types of task lighting, can help reduce your risk of eye strain when you're doing near-work for longer amounts of time.
Good Lighting Is Even More Crucial For Those With Low Vision
In general, lighting needs to increase as you age. Research shows that a 60-year-old needs almost twice as much light to see as a 30-year-old!
Lighting is even more important for those with low vision. People with macular degeneration, glaucoma and other vision conditions should consult with their eye doctor about specific lighting improvements they can make in their homes to improve visibility.
See Things In A New Light
Believe it or not, small changes can make a big difference! The right kind of lighting can improve our reading ability, create a more noticeable difference in colors and prevent eye strain. Make some of these small changes and we promise, you'll start seeing things in a whole new light!

NASHIK, India – In a dusty lot outside a wholesale market in western India, farmer Ambadas Sanap leans on the lip of his flatbed truck, surrounded by crates of green peppers and tomatoes. If he could get away from all this for just one day, he says, he'd travel to the capital to protest.
He wants his voice to be heard.
But Sanap, 44, cannot afford to take time off from laboring in his fields or hawking his produce at this sprawling government-run wholesale yard. He's got nine family members to feed.
He just sold a full crate of tomatoes for 40 rupees (about $.55 USD). The most he'll gross in a month is the equivalent of about $300. After expenses, he's lucky to break even.
Sanap is one of the approximately 800 million Indians whose primary source of livelihood is agriculture. Tens of thousands of them have amassed in New Delhi for more than three months, protesting moves by the Indian government to deregulate wholesale trading. They see those technical changes as a betrayal of traditional government support that over decades helped India end widespread famine and helped many farmers survive.
Millions more, like Sanap, watch from afar with admiration but even more anxiety, that their local concerns may be lost in a movement dominated by northern Indian grain growers and championed by activists from abroad. The protests have devolved into political bickering over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, overshadowing the original debate over how to improve the way Indian crops are bought and sold.
The government hasn't helped: It's ordered Twitter to suspend accounts that tweeted support for the farmers or criticism of its treatment of them. It arrested a young climate activist on suspicion of sedition for allegedly sharing tips on how to drum up support for the protests online. Its authoritarian tactics have grabbed headlines, burying the agriculture debate even further.
Altogether, Indian farmers have spurred the biggest challenge yet to Modi's rule. They are a powerful constituency the prime minister cannot afford to alienate.
Yet the farmers are not a monolith, as Sanap's case shows.
"I feel detached from those protesters on TV. They're the rich farmers from the north," says Sanap, who wears a crisp white shirt on market day, a plaid bandana around his neck and a red mark of Hindu devotion on his forehead. "We're working in our fields all day and not getting what we deserve. I want minimum prices for my vegetables too."
Minimum Prices Guaranteed
In the 1960s, India introduced a system of agricultural subsidies. The government paid for some pesticides and irrigation. That assistance helped Indian farmers boost their crop yields, eventually making India self-sufficient in food. It was called the Green Revolution, and farmers were the heroes at the center of it.
Since then, while the rest of India has modernized, Indian agriculture has stagnated. Subsidies and rising land prices have allowed a small group of farmers to prosper, but a majority remain poor like Sanap. There's even been an epidemic of farmer suicides in rural India.
Seeking to help them, Modi's government in September passed three new agriculture laws: The Farmers Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, The Farmers' Produce Trade & Commerce Act, and The Essential Commodities Act. The preamble to the first law says it aims to "protect and empower" farmers to engage with wholesalers, exporters and retailers in a "fair and transparent manner."
These three laws allow farmers and traders to do business outside of government-run wholesale markets that have dominated agriculture since the Green Revolution. The laws also allow them to do business online at prices guaranteed by the government. They say farmers must be paid within three days of selling their crops and cannot have their land confiscated by any buyer or corporation – a protection to allay farmers' fears of losing what is often ancestral property. The laws also establish conciliation boards to mediate trade disputes.
But many farmers don't trust the government. Street protests erupted in November. The demonstrators see the new laws as the first step toward dismantling all the support given to farmers during the Green Revolution.
A big part of that support is the government guarantee of Minimum Support Prices, or MSPs, for 22 staples it considers essential to Indians' nutrition and the agricultural economy. The list includes rice and wheat but not the tomatoes and peppers Sanap grows. A majority of Indian farmers grow crops that are not on that list – and have never enjoyed those price guarantees.
Farmers in Sanap's home state of Maharashtra also don't get electricity subsidies to run well pumps and irrigation systems as do farmers in some other states. (Until Modi, almost all agriculture has traditionally been regulated at the state level.)
"I don't have enough electricity but even then, I work day and night," Sanap says. The average Indian farm size is about 1.08 hectares, or 2.6 acres – about twice the size of a football field. These are not big commercial farms like in the American Midwest. And with climate change, mechanization and rampant development — not to mention the pandemic — Indian farmers are increasingly struggling.
"At our farm, proper water supplies are no longer there," says Chetan Lodha, another farmer at the wholesale market. "The production cost of traditional farming is getting higher day by day, compared to the incomes of small farmers." A new study published last month says the over-depletion of groundwater in India may threaten the food security of hundreds of millions of people.
Lodha, 37, is from a long line of Maharashtrian grain farmers. But he's transitioning away from the family business. He works as an accountant on the side and has had a taste of the business world.
"Farmers know how to grow, but farmers don't know how to sell," Lodha says. "The biggest problem the farmer is facing is that he doesn't know how to market his product."
Farmers never really had to do that, he says, if they were selling their crops inside their local Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee, or APMC. Those are the thousands of government-run wholesale markets where Indian farmers typically sell their crops. They are the focus of Modi's new reforms.
More Ways To Sell Crops
APMCs have been the backbone of India's agricultural trading system – another legacy of government intervention during the Green Revolution. Modi's new farm laws don't eliminate APMCs but strip them of their monopoly on trade, and allow transactions to happen anywhere – even online.
The APMC where Sanap and Lodha do business is a sprawling concrete shell of a building in a dusty lot in rural Maharashtra surrounded by farmland. It looks like it's perpetually under construction.
Trucks pull up day and night, disgorging bales of cauliflower and cabbage. Women in colorful saris balance bundles of spinach on their heads or squat on their haunches on the cement floor with garlic and chili peppers piled on tarps before them. A government auctioneer rattles off eggplant prices. His voice reverberates off the corrugated tin roof.
The APMCs have long lent security to farmers. However low market prices go, they would always be able to sell at these government-run markets, explains Seema Bathla, an agricultural economist at Jawaharlal Nehru University in New Delhi.
"The government's intention [with the new laws] is that farmers should have multiple platforms for selling – not just the APMCs – so that they have choice and can get better prices based on competition," Bathla says. "The problem is, agriculture prices are subject to a lot of volatility. Farmers have gotten used to this safety net, and now they are not willing to go for a change."
The government says it will keep setting minimum support prices for certain crops. Last month, Modi told parliament the Minimum Support Price (MSP) mechanism "was there, is there and will remain." His government is not closing the APMCs, just adding more options.
Still, Sanjay Gohad is worried. He's a middleman whose family has spent 40 years paying into the APMC system. He buys produce in bulk from farmers and sells it onward to retail outlets. He thinks the government's reforms will lead to less competition, not more.
"I support the protesting farmers 100%!" says Gohad, standing amid burlap sacks of ginger and gooseberries in his garage next to the APMC.
Gohad pays a special tax on all of his transactions for the privilege of buying from farmers there.
"It's a good business! But the government wants only one or two big traders – Ambani and Adani — to own this space," Gohad says, referring to two billionaire industrialists, Mukesh Ambani and Gautam Adani, who run two of India's biggest corporations, Reliance Industries and the Adani Group, respectively. (Protesters have targeted both, after Ambani praised Modi's reforms.)
Confusion, Misinformation ... And Jealousy
As NPR was interviewing Gohad in his APMC workspace, another trader interrupted.
"We are proud of Narendra Modi! He's a real man! He will be king of the world!" the man yells. Gohad shoos him away.
It's an illustration of what has happened to India's new farm laws: Any debate over their merits has devolved into political bickering. Opposition politicians accuse Modi of mistreating humble farmers who've helped millions of their countrymen avoid starvation. Modi's government has in turn labeled some of the farmers and their supporters as "anti-national" – questioning their patriotism and allegiance to India.
Agriculture reform has long been the third rail of Indian politics. Successive governments avoided it. Modi is trying to address it now, on a national scale. But farm policy has typically varied by state and by crop.
The timing of the introduction and passage of these laws – in September, at the height of India's coronavirus crisis — has also fallen under suspicion. Supporters say that when COVID lockdowns forced some wholesale markets to shut, farmers needed reform even more urgently to allow transactions to happen outside those shuttered markets. It was around that time that India's economy shrank 24%. Millions were falling back into poverty.
On the other hand, the government's critics accuse it of taking advantage of a health crisis to push through unpopular reforms without consulting farmers themselves.
"The amazing thing is that the Modi government passed these laws in the middle of a pandemic! They just quickly passed them without any discussion," says Jayati Ghosh, an economist at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. "You could have gone to people, talked about it, got feedback — because these are long-term proposals."
Instead, there's been a lot of confusion, misinformation — even jealousy, among farmers like the tomato grower Sanap, who envies some of the subsidies his fellow farmers in northern India get.
The Power — And Plight — Of Punjabi Farmers
India's farmer protests have been dominated by grain growers from the country's north, particularly the states of Punjab and Haryana, north of the capital.
For months, the mostly peaceful protests in Delhi have often been a sea of colorful turbans. Punjab is the birthplace of the Sikh faith, and a majority of its residents follow that religion. On Jan. 26, when clashes erupted between protesters and police, activists raised a Sikh flag over India's historic Red Fort – a symbol of power. Indian authorities seized on that flag to denounce the protesters as dangerous separatists.
Punjab is a rich agricultural area, long known as the breadbasket of India. It has about 3% of India's arable land but grows nearly 20% of the country's wheat and 12% of its rice. It was ground zero for India's Green Revolution, and it's where farmers have benefitted most from the status quo.
Farmland in Punjab is valuable. According to a 2013 study by Sanjoy Chakravorty, a geography and urban studies professor at Temple University in Philadelphia, the average price of farmland in Punjab (about $7,000 per acre) exceeded the price at the time in all but one U.S. state and every European country except the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.
Punjabi farmers are powerful. They dominate India's national farm unions. They may also have the most to lose under Modi's new laws.
As grain growers, they rely on those APMCs – the government-run wholesale markets — more than a tomato farmer like Sanap who can sell produce out of the back of his truck. Grain needs to be husked, crushed and milled. There are more middlemen involved in the process of bringing grain to market. That longer chain of transactions has long been supervised by the government, at APMCs.
A Lesson From Grape Growers
Under the old system, wholesalers, retailers and middlemen are the ones required to pay into the APMC system and conduct all their transactions there. The ginger and gooseberry buyer Gohad pays a 1.05% tax on all his transactions. In other states, the payments are made in the form of direct fees. The idea was to keep wholesalers under government supervision and prevent them from undercutting farmers on price.
Farmers, on the other hand, have long been allowed to sell outside the APMCs. In Maharashtra and several other states, many farmers are circumventing these government wholesale markets – and have been for years. Their experience could offer a path out of the quagmire that debate over Modi's new laws has become.
In 2010, eight farmers in the grape-growing region of Nashik, in western India, banded together to create a collective called Sahyadri Farms, to sell their produce directly to retailers. It's now co-owned by more than 10,000 farmers, and is India's biggest exporter of grapes, with 17% of the European market for table grapes, the company claims.
Grape farmers are among those who were never eligible for minimum support prices. Sahyadri's founder, Vilas Shinde, says he realized he could get better prices on the open market rather than at APMCs. He waited for successive governments to help facilitate transactions outside those yards – and then, impatient, took matters into his own hands and started the Sahyadri collective.
"If the market is ready to pay me a better price, I should capture that instead of depending on government," Shinde says. "Another real game-changer is technology. E-commerce is becoming a common thing, auction platforms are becoming a common thing, even for our smaller farmers – especially for them."
He supports Modi's new laws, because he thinks they will help other farmers do what he's already done.
Sahyadri's farmers now have a sprawling campus just outside Nashik, with produce-packing assembly lines, banana-ripening chambers and flash-freezing machines for vegetables. As their operations become more efficient, some of them are converting their farmland for sustainable agro-tourism – converting their barns into rural hotels for weekend trippers from Mumbai, 3 hours away.
Shaken By Protests ... And The Pandemic
For other Indian farmers, the pandemic has forced them to change the ways they do business.
Another Nashik-area grape farmer, Abhishek Sanjay Shalke, had the bad luck of having his harvest fall during a coronavirus lockdown last year. He couldn't travel to his local APMC, and buyers couldn't reach him either.
"Because of the lockdown, we were forced to come up with this creative work-around. We started selling to our friends and neighbors, first by word of mouth, and then online," Shalke, 21, explains. "We couldn't just sit at home and let our grapes rot. We had to take the initiative."
He and his friends – all farmers' sons who've gone to college – started selling their produce on Twitter and ended up getting higher prices than before. The government-run market is now back open, but Shalke has no plans to go.
He's not typical. Most Indian farmers have less education, and less access to the internet, than the general population. But Shalke hopes his success in trading online can be emulated elsewhere. The new farm laws do establish rules for selling produce online, through electronic trading platforms.
Meanwhile the farm laws have yet to take effect. India's Supreme Court suspended their implementation in January, as protests raged. The Modi government has offered to keep them suspended for 18 months until a compromise can be reached with farm unions. But union representatives have refused. They want the laws scrapped altogether.
Shalke, the young grape farmer, says his heart is with his fellow farmers who've been protesting – even if they don't share all the same concerns.
His head, he says, is focused on how to solve some of the inefficiencies he sees in the way his forefathers have long done business. He adds that he doesn't really trust the government to do it.
"I think our generation is going to have to try to figure this out," he says.

They are some of the biggest movers and shakers in the Middle East – their wealth and influence extend across the world, to the United States. They've built empires from a patch of desert and now sail their luxury cruise ships at will; produce some of Hollywood's most memorable films; own some of New York's most important real estate; and build enterprising businesses in shipping, diamonds, high-tech and trade. One even works to promote global democracy.
Meet 10 Israeli billionaires who have made the Forbes Rich List for 2010, along with 793 other billionaires around the world. They join the world's second-richest man, Bill Gates (Mexican telecommunications mogul Carlos Slim just pushed Gates to second place, beating him by a measly half a billion dollars), who lost $18 million last year, and Warren Buffet, who lost a hefty $25 billion. The world's richest are no doubt somewhat poorer, like most of us who have lived through the recent financial crisis, but these 10 Israelis along with the others on the list should still have some millions to spare.
ISRAEL21c brings you Israel's top billionaires and the sources of their fortunes.
1. Sammy Ofer, 88
$4 billion
He lives in Monte Carlo where all the fabulously rich and famous want to be. Sammy Ofer is an Israeli shipping magnate who is close to the top 100 of the world's richest people. With a net worth of $4 billion, Ofer – a married father of two sons (Ofer and Idan) – is consistently press shy as he protects his family assets in shipping, banking and real estate.
His firm, the holding company Israel Corporation, is associated with Israel Chemicals. He also owns Zim shipping lines and the Royal Caribbean cruise line.
Knighted by Queen Elizabeth last year, the self-made billionaire owns several Chagall paintings and donates millions to charity, including the National Maritime Museum of Greenwich to which he bequeathed $40 million not long ago, including $3.3 million to help rebuild the world-famous Cutty Sark ship, which burned down in a fire.
Ofer, who was born in Romania in 1922, but emigrated with his family to Mandate Palestine two years later, started his career as a delivery boy for a shipping company. At the start of World War II, he enlisted in the Royal Navy, and during the War of Independence served in the Israeli Sea Corps. He bought his first ship in 1950.
2. Arnon Milchen, 66
$3.6 billion
Arnon Milchen is another self-made billionaire. Born in Tel Aviv in 1944, the London School of Economics graduate also studied at the University of Geneva and went from being a business student and professional soccer player to transforming his father's fertilizer business into a goldmine.
The married father of four has dealings in agriculture, aerospace, plastics, fiber optics and pharmaceuticals and over the years, through his company New Regency, has been a producer for a number of Hollywood films including War of the Roses, Pretty Woman, Fight Club and Mr and Mrs Smith. Look forward to Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, another Milchen-produced film set to debut this summer.
Milchen is a staunch supporter of Israel and underwrites the Israeli Network, which transmits Israeli TV programming to the US and Canada. Last year he started an anti-terror company to protect friends and colleagues from global terror.
3. Stef Wertheimer, 84
$3.5 billion
If there was a list of billionaires who have made a real difference in the world, Israel's Stef Wertheimer would be in the top 10.
The self-made industrialist billionaire was born in Germany and fled to Israel to escape the Holocaust in 1937. He dropped out of school at the age of 16 and began working in a camera repair shop.
He joined the British Royal Air force as a technician in 1943. Some years later he applied to work for defense company Rafael but was dismissed because of his lack of education.
His strong penchant for tools paid off, however, in 1952 when he started Iscar, a small tool-cutting factory, in the backyard of his home in Nahariya. In 2006, he sold an 80 percent share in Iscar to Warren Buffet for a cool $4 billion.
Wertheimer has built a number of industrial parks in Israel and around the world, including Tefen, which focuses on providing opportunities and jobs to minorities such as Arab Israelis.
The married father of four lives in the Galilee region of Israel and also seeds high-tech companies such as Blades Technology, which produces jet engine blades.
4. Shari Arison, 52
$3.4 billion
Look out Oprah! You may be the richest woman in America, but Shari Arison who inherited her fortune from her Israeli-American father Ted Arison, is reputedly the richest woman in the Middle East.
She is certainly the only female billionaire in Israel. Ted made his fortune in America with his company Carnival Cruises that he founded in 1972. Since his passing in 1999 his daughter has shown that she's no Jewish-American-Israeli princess.
She's taken hold of the reins, managing her family's banking assets through the Israeli bank Bank Hapoalim; the infrastructure giant Housing & Construction; cruise ships; and various holding companies.
Last year she founded Miya to develop new water-saving technologies for urban centers and improve the dire situation caused by widespread water loss. Despite a reputation for eccentricity, her businesses don't seem to have suffered. A divorced mother of four, she lives in Tel Aviv.
5. Alexander Mashkevich, 54
$3.3 billion
With assets in mining and metals Alexander Mashkevich maintains his Israeli citizenship but is reported to live in various residences around the world including Russia.
The married father of two is yet another self-made Israeli businessman, who has built a mining and metals empire in Kazakhstan along with two long-time friends, billionaires Alijan Ibragimov and Patokh Chodiev.
Born in Kyrgyzstan, Mashkevich started out as a literature student at university, becoming a very young dean at age 26. He left academia, however, to pursue business. Active in Jewish causes around the world, he obtained Israeli citizenship early in his life and it's his Israeli passport that he chooses for travel.
Today he helps run Alferon Management – a company that has acquired mining operations in various countries including Zambia, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Indonesia. He is married with two children.
6. Yitzhak Tshuva, 61
$2.1 billion
Yitzhak Tshuva. may not be the richest Israeli, but he has made his name in America through his dealings in real estate with the ElAd Group.
Owner of some of America's most valuable real estate ventures like The Plaza, the self-made billionaire also controls property in Vegas along with partner Nochi Dankner.
Tshuva's Delek Group, which is publicly traded on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, operates more than 200 gas stations in Israel. The company also has interests in car dealerships, cable TV, car insurance and natural gas wells off the coast of Israel.
The Delek Group, listed under Green Venture Capital on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, also has interests in multimedia, electronics and some 130 high-tech companies. Tshuva lives in Netanya, Israel, and is the married father of five children.
7. Benny Steinmetz, 50
$1.7 billion
Mining and real estate appear to be on the money mark for Israeli billionaires. Benny Steinmetz acquired his fortune through real estate and mining, notably in diamonds through his company BSG Investments.
The 50-year-old married father of four inherited his fortune and helped it grow as chairman of the Geneva-headquartered Steinmetz Diamond Group, which is De Beers' largest customer. Supplying diamonds in the rough, Steinmetz has diamond mining licenses in Botswana, the Congo, Sierra Leone and Zambia.
The magnate also has stakes in Nikanor, a holding company that owns copper and cobalt mines in the Congo. He maintains homes in Israel, Africa and Belgium and among his companies are BSGR, involved in natural resources, oil and gas and Five Mounts Properties, a European real estate firm.
8. Lev Leviev, 54
$1.5 billion
Diamonds are clearly a billionaire's best friend as the Uzbekistan-born Israeli Lev Leviev knows well.
This self-made billionaire now living in London owns Africa-Israel Investments, which runs the company that is the world's largest supplier and cutter of diamonds.
Leviev immigrated to Israel at the age of 15, and shortly afterwards began work as an apprentice in a diamond polishing plant. After serving in the Israel Defense Forces, he established his own diamond polishing plant and reportedly made his way by under-cutting the De Beers diamond suppliers and making his own deals in countries like Russia and Angola.
He has also invested in major real estate projects in Modi'in Illit, a suburban neighborhood outside Tel Aviv. He is also an investor in shopping malls, energy, fashion, telecom and the media. A golf-lover and philanthropist for Jewish causes, Leviev owns a second home in a Florida beach resort.
9. Michael Federmann, 66
$1.4 billion
Earning second-to-last place on the list of Israeli billionaires is nothing to sniff at. With business in hotels and the defense industry, Michael Federmann is yet another self-made Israeli billionaire appearing on this year's Forbes list.
Federmann's $1.4 billion fortune is based on Federmann Enterprises, started by his father and his late uncle. He currently chairs two major companies, the defense technologies company Elbit Systems and Dan Hotels Corporation.
The Dan hotel chain, which started out as a boarding house in Tel Aviv, is now a nation-wide chain of hotels that's expanding to India. Federmann is married and the father of four children. He lives in Tel Aviv.
10. Morris Kahn, 80
$1 billion
The last Israeli name to make the Forbes cut is Amdocs' investor Morris Kahn. Amdocs creates billing software that provides solutions for large telecom companies.
Since making his fortune and cashing in his one billion dollars worth of shares, Kahn has been focusing on venture capital financing and philanthropy. A principle investor in Aurim Ventures, Kahn has invested in dozens of companies, including the clean tech water company Atlantium.
Spending most of his time on his 100-foot yacht off the coast of Israel, Kahn has imbued his children with positive values. His son, Benjamin is a marine biologist who was listed as a TIME Magazine hero for his environmental work, on projects that are no doubt supported by the family businesses.
The Kahns also own a string of underwater aquaria and exhibits in Israel, the Bahamas, Hawaii, Spain, the Virgin Islands and Australia through Coral World International, a company co-founded by Kahn senior.

The snakelocks anemone, a marine species prized in cooking, has been bred for the first time in captivity
Researchers from Granada have managed to breed for the first time in captivity a marine animal known as the snakelocks anemone, (Anemonia sulcata), and have also begun breeding a species of sea cucumber (Sticophus regalis), although this process is still in its initial stages. Both species have great culinary potential and possess excellent nutritional properties. As well as these two species of marine invertebrates, the scientists have cultivated the edible saltmarsh plant Salicornia, also known as marsh samphire or sea asparagus.
The harvesting of anemones for use in gourmet restaurants and eateries is creating a decline in their numbers, and due to the high prices they reach on the market, poaching and over-exploitation are "considerably damaging the ecological niche in coastal and inter-tidal areas".
iMare Natural S.L., a University of Granada 'spin-off' concern, is developing methods of raising these species and incorporating these techniques within the aquaculture sector. It is a practice based on making the most of the surplus organic products that result from the cultivation of these products.
As Pedro A. Alvarez, one of the researchers and co-founders of the firm, explains, "Until now, these marine products were solely obtained by trawling, a practice which affects the ecosystem considerably".
Using an efficient pumping and channeling system, the organic waste produced by the aquaculture process is recycled and turned into fertilizers or feedstuffs that can then be used in other types of cultivation. Thus, the food surpluses and organic residue from these marine crops are utilized in hydroponic cultivation, creating an environmentally sustainable and balanced system.
Healthy-giving properties
With regards to the snakelocks anemone, one of the species that has been cultivated for the first time in Granada, Pedro Alvarez states that "it has hardly any calories and contains essential components for our health, due to its high content in proteins, cholesterol and purines, along with its low fat content".
Furthermore, Salicornia contains 30-40% of proteins, calcium, magnesium and sodium, as well as a high proportion of essential fatty acids (Omega-6), which, in the case of its seeds, can be as high as 75%. This high content in linoleic acid helps to considerably reduce blood cholesterol levels. The plant absorbs salt water and is increasingly used as a garnish for fish or seafood dishes, or is cooked along with other vegetables. In addition, Salicornia is rich in oils and can be used for producing bio-fuel.
Finally, the sea cucumber is a highly-prized product in the cuisine of Catalonia, the Balearics and Valencia, where its price can be as high as 150 euros a kilo. In the past, it was eaten by poor fishing families, but nowadays it is served in the best restaurants".

A Message From Fuel Freedom
Dear Friend,
My heart was filled with sadness when I read the morning news yesterday…yet another terror attack. I want to offer my deepest condolences to the victims of the tragedy in Brussels. But as I continue to read in dismay about the horrors of these attacks, not only in Brussels, but also the suicide bomber in Istanbul, and the ISIS rocket that killed U.S. Staff Sergeant Louis F. Cardin (age 28) in Iraq, I am more resolved than ever to stop them.
The best way to do that is to de-fund the terrorists and the violent ideology behind them.
A key source of funding for these terrorists is oil, and it's clear that Fuel Freedom's mission will make it much harder for them. Our goal is to open up the market to fuel competition, which will permanently drive down the cost of oil, leaving these terrorists without funding and without the ability to carry out their hateful carnage.
We have already proved our theory. You don't have to scour the news for stories about how low oil prices are harming terrorists. CNN reported in January how ISIS, which has been reliant on oil as a major funding source, is now reported to be in financial trouble. Other examples are being published every day.
The way to stop these people from inflicting more death isn't to send our sons and daughters in the military to fight them. Defunding the ideology of terrorism is something we can do by making fuel choice a reality. Offering American-made fuels at the pump can not only increase our security but stop these radicals from causing more harm.
Join us today and help us stop the terrorists.
Thank you,
Yossie Hollander, Chairman and Co-founder
Fuel Freedom Foundation
