Good Shabbos all. Israel is a week ahead of the Diaspora. This will be probably the last time I mention the Diaspora Parsha which is Pasha Kedoshim as this continues for three more months. http://rabbipauli.blogspot.co.il/2016/05/parsha-kedoshim-stories-news-and.html
Parsha Emor
This week is a continuation of the last two weeks. First atoning for sins and then making the nation holy. Now it is time to have a separation from holy to holy in the seed of the Cohanim. For even an ordinary Cohain has to act differently and marry better quality than that an ordinary person who can marry a divorced woman. (Even if we say that the husband was horrible, still she chose him.) The ordinary Cohain can marry a widow. However, the Cohain Gadol can only marry a virgin excluding even the poor widow.
21:1 And the LORD said unto Moses: Speak unto the priests the sons of Aaron, and say unto them: There shall none defile himself for the dead among his people;
We see this when the sons of Aaron passed away, the Leviim cousins took care of the burial and bodies.
2 except for his kin, that is near unto him, for his mother, and for his father, and for his son, and for his daughter, and for his brother;
Even though for an ordinary Cohain it is permissible it is better to relegate the duties to a non-Cohain. It is customary today to walk after the coffin a little except the Kabbalistic custom and then after burial pray from afar on the pathway.
3 and for his sister a virgin, that is near unto him, that hath had no husband, for her may he defile himself.
If he sister passed away young or was a spinster all her life, he may attend to the burial chores like the other relatives mentioned above.
4 He shall not defile himself, being a chief man among his people, to profane himself.
All the laws which we mentioned above apply only to an ordinary Cohain but not the Cohain HaGadol who does not even leave Yerushalayim.
5 They shall not make baldness upon their head, neither shall they shave off the corners of their beard, nor make any cuttings in their flesh. 6 They shall be holy unto their God, and not profane the name of their God; for the offerings of the LORD made by fire, the bread of their God, they do offer; therefore they shall be holy.
Now normal Jews are forbidden to shave the corners of their beards or make the cuttings on their flesh since the Cohanim are the exception to Am Yisrael in excellence and Kedusha, that is repeated here. However, the holiness goes deeper than a plain person. Henceforth, the reasons why their Kedusha goes deeper than the ordinary Israeli. Even the women that are permitted to them are holier.
7 They shall not take a woman that is a harlot, or profaned; neither shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.
I can understand quickly the harlot as she goes with the highest or even first bidder. However, a woman profaned by rape or incest can make a wonderful wife. However, I have watched enough testimony by such women to realize that they have been hurt deep inside and their who life has been changed.
Still a woman divorced because her husband was a drunkard, disgusting, criminal, stunk, beat her or even of less an intelligence or social class does not make for a bad wife. In fact, she might be a wonderful Baalas Ha Beis (Yiddish = Balabusta) [fine wife of good quality]. However, she has been rejected by one husband whether her fault or not makes her Pasul for the Cohain.
8 Thou shalt sanctify him therefore; for he offers the bread of thy God; he shall be holy unto thee; for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy. 9 And the daughter of any priest, (If a Kohen's daughter becomes desecrated through adultery) if she profanes herself by playing the harlot, she profanes her father: she shall be burnt with fire.
Because her holiness is higher than that of a Jew or Levi, she is also treated special and judged accordingly.
If [a kohen's daughter] becomes desecrated through adultery: Heb. כִּי תֵחֵל. [The word תֵּחֵל here, stems from the word חִלּוּל, desecration, and not from the word הַתְחָלָה, beginning, and thus, the phrase here means:] If she becomes desecrated (תִּתְחַלֵּל) through a forbidden union, whereby she had a marriage-bond to a man and she committed adultery-whether [this bond had been] a betrothal or a marriage. And our Rabbis differ with regards to the matter [i.e., as to which stage of marriage-bond is referred to here]. All agree, however, that Scripture did not speak of a single woman. — [Sanh. 50b-51a] She desecrates her father: She has desecrated and degraded his honor, for [people] will say of him, "Cursed is he who fathered this one! Cursed is he who raised this one!" - [Sanh. 52a]
10 And the priest that is highest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil is poured, and that is consecrated to put on the garments, shall not let the hair of his head go loose, nor rend his clothes; 11 neither shall he go in to any dead body, nor defile himself for his father, or for his mother; 12 neither shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am the LORD. 13 And he shall take a wife in her virginity. 14 A widow, or one divorced, or a profaned woman, or a harlot, these shall he not take; but a virgin of his own people shall he take to wife. 15 And he shall not profane his seed among his people; for I am the LORD who sanctify him.
These are extra prohibitions for a Cohain Gadol.
16 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 17 Speak unto Aaron, saying: Whosoever he be of thy seed throughout their generations that hath a blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God.
The Cohain had to be fit and I head of one Cohain who did not deal with a toothache because of this:
18 For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath anything maimed, or anything too long, 19 or a man that is broken-footed, or broken-handed, 20 or crook-backed, or a dwarf, or that hath his eye overspread, or is scabbed, or scurvy, or hath his stones crushed; 21 no man of the seed of Aaron the priest, that hath a blemish, shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire; he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. 22 He may eat the bread of his God, both of the most holy, and of the holy. 23 Only he shall not go in unto the veil, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not My holy places; for I am the LORD who sanctify them. 24 So Moses spoke unto Aaron, and to his sons, and unto all the children of Israel.
The next chapter continues with this and includes an involuntary release of seed and therefore after marital relations, a Cohain must go to the Mikvah to serve HASHEM.
… 23:1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying: 2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: The appointed seasons of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are My appointed seasons.
This section deal with all the Yomim Tovim of Am Yisrael. We start out from the holiest followed by two of the three Regelim then the Tishrei Yomim Tovim starting from Rosh Hashanah.
3 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, a holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work; it is a Sabbath unto the LORD in all your dwellings.
Solemn day of rest for all Jews not just Orthodox. But wait over the years I have been trying to convince my Conservative and Reform Readers to observe the Shabbos. However, I came across the following Statistic from the PEW Institute research which shocked the core of my being. The population of the Modern Orthodox are 170,000 adults and 47,000 children. Observe the Seder 98% Fast on Yom Kippur 90% Shabbos Candles 78% Observe Kashrus 83% Go the Synagogue at least once a week 67% Do not handle money on Shabbos 81% Believe firmly in HASHEM 77% What is also bad that there are border-line cases in the Charedi Communities that smoke and do so on Shabbos or go out dating non-religious youths their age both males and females. The Rabbis know and they hush this up to make everybody in their realms great and they have no problems.
I don't claim to be a solver of problems. In fact, those who follow me over the years that I have written Torah on the net don't find me a fire and brimstone Rabbi, but as for the statistics I can only tell you this: What is not a problem in this world will be a big one in the next. Your Yetzer will tell you go out forget about Shabbos, Kashrus and Family Purity. It is not a matter of having a onetime fling if 17% don't fully observe Shabbos or somebody in a fit of passion put the Mikvah aside and succumbed once and then regretted it. Only 78% light Shabbos Candles among "Orthodox" in the USA!!! This is no big deal to spend a few dollars and have aluminum foil to protect from fire and even many non-observant Jews light Shabbos Candles and keep Kosher to one degree or another at home even if it is not completely perfect. When I was in the hospital with Oxygen all about, I lit a Chanucha Menorah with electrical lights that www.ellichai.com supplied me with.
How can somebody call himself Orthodox and not observe the minimum requirements of Mitzvos. I spend more money with compassion to feed stray cats and for my dog and fish each year than I spend on Shabbos Candles in perhaps ten years. What is the matter with these people? 77% believe firmly in HASHEM perhaps that is the problem, but they must believe a bit to call themselves Orthodox. Perhaps one needs Mussar and learning to overcome the weak belief for the 23%. Where are the 2% that don't have a Seder? I know of a disabled Conservative Ger who held a Seder with Matzos and one or two other things due to poverty. But the TORAH does not mince words and when it says those who do not observe Shabbos and without a Korban a Seder shall be cut off from their people. Kares is in the next world! Remember Gehennom lasts at maximum 12 months although Kaf Keller can be very long. Kares is forever or until one has a reincarnation to repent which might be centuries away.
As for those folks who for some reason or other violated these fundamental commands and beliefs of Am Yisrael I can only remind you that sincere repentance, prays and charity will annul or atone for the evil decree upon you.
… 9 And the LORD spoke unto Moses saying: 10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When ye are come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest. 11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you; on the morrow after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. 12 And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt-offering unto the LORD. 13 And the meal-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savor; and the drink-offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin. 14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the offering of your God; it is a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings. 15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the day of rest, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the waving; seven weeks shall there be complete; 16 even unto the morrow after the seventh week shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall present a new meal-offering unto the LORD. 17 Ye shall bring out of your dwellings two wave-loaves of two tenth parts of an ephah; they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baked with leaven, for first-fruits unto the LORD. …
Rabbi Simon Jacobson wrote the following which Aish got permission to print. The link is here for the daily meditations: http://www.aish.com/h/o/t/48969716.html With the mitzvah of counting the 49 days, known as Sefiras Ha'Omer, the Torah invites us on a journey into the human psyche, into the soul. There are seven basic emotions that make up the spectrum of human experience. At the root of all forms of enslavement, is a distortion of these emotions. Each of the seven weeks between Passover and Shavuot is dedicated to examining and refining one of them.
The seven emotional attributes are:
- Chesed ― Loving-kindness
- Gevurah ― Justice and discipline
- Tiferet ― Harmony, compassion
- Netzach ― Endurance
- Hod ― Humility
- Yesod ― Bonding
- Malchut ― Sovereignty, leadership
The seven weeks, which represent these emotional attributes, further divide into seven days making up the 49 days of the counting. Since a fully functional emotion is multidimensional, it includes within itself a blend of all seven attributes. Thus, the counting of the first week, which begins on the second night of Pesach, as well as consisting of the actual counting ("Today is day one of the Omer...") would consist of the following structure with suggested meditations:
Upon conclusion of the 49 days we arrive at the 50th day ― Mattan Torah. After we have achieved all we can accomplish through our own initiative, traversing and refining every emotional corner of our psyche, we then receive a gift ('mattan' in Hebrew) from above. We receive that which we could not achieve with our own limited faculties. We receive the gift of true freedom ― the ability to transcend our human limitations and touch the divine.
For tonight: Day 21 ― Malchut of Tiferet: Nobility in Compassion
Examine the dignity of your compassion. For compassion to be complete (and enhance the other six aspects of compassion) it must recognize and appreciate individual sovereignty. It should boost self-esteem and cultivate human dignity. Both your own dignity and the dignity of the one benefiting from your compassion.
Is my compassion expressed in a dignified manner? Does it elicit dignity in others? Do I recognize the fact that when I experience compassion as dignified it will reflect reciprocally in the one who receives compassion?
Exercise for the day: Rather than just giving charity, help the needy help themselves in a fashion that strengthens their dignity.

The two-room, high-ceilinged studio where illustrator and animator Joseph Bau worked for much of his adult life appears mostly unchanged on Holocaust Remembrance Day 2016, his drafting table still laid with containers of brushes and pens, the walls hung with his characteristic broad-stroked caricatures, the original tiled floors and walls cracked and chipped in places.
His daughters, Clila and Hadassah Bau, wouldn't have it any other way.
Their father's workplace, where the Holocaust survivor created his original paintings, illustrations, animations and top-secret forgeries for the Mossad — a fact they only learned after his death — is where the two sisters, now both in their 60s, pay homage to their parents' Holocaust history, offering a piece of Bau performance art to whomever has an hour to spare.
"It's the smallest museum in the world," Hadassah Bau likes to say. "He built it all himself."
Their father, said the sisters repeatedly, was one of a kind. A humorous, loving, creative "startup-ist," said Hadassah Bau, using the popular term for Israeli high-tech entrepreneurs, "he was always trying something different, always creating something new."
He had a penchant for invention, and it was a skill set that probably saved him more than once during the Holocaust. He and his wife, Rebecca Tannenbaum — whom he met when the two were imprisoned in the Plaszow concentration camp outside Krakow, before Bau was sent to Oskar Schindler's factory and his wife to Auschwitz — believed in miracles, and often told their daughters that miracles happened everywhere, all the time.

The sisters, each dressed in a T-shirt bearing a reproduction of their father's art, told parts of their parents' story in English on this particular Holocaust Remembrance Day to a group of American tourists from Florida and Minnesota, seated on black folding chairs in the main room of the studio.
In September 1938, Joseph Bau was about to start his second year at Poland's Krakow University as an art major when the German troops invaded Poland and sent Krakow's Jews into the walled ghetto.
Every Jew in the ghetto needed some kind of job, said Hadassah Bau. Her father had been the only student in his major to study calligraphy, the art of Gothic lettering, which were ancient German letters.
"He fell in love with it," she said.
The only thing he had brought with him to the ghetto was his case of pens and brushes, a prescient choice, said Hadassah Bau. He drew a sign, in Gothic lettering, announcing himself as an artist and calligrapher, and the Nazis came looking for him to draft maps and signs for the ghetto.
"He always said that art saved his life," continued Hadassah Bau.
Bau's art saved others as well. He became known as a master forger, faking documents and papers that allowed hundreds of Jews to escape the ghetto and the Plaszow concentration camp, where he and others were sent from the Krakow ghetto.

In the labor camp, Bau continued working for the Nazis as a draughtsman. When he was commanded one day to create a blueprint — a complicated task in those years requiring natural sunlight to reproduce the technical drawing on light-sensitive sheets — he panicked, knowing there wasn't enough sunlight on that particular day to reproduce the negative of the original drawing.
He headed outdoors, knowing he would be shot if he didn't fulfill the task, and was holding up the technical drawing, hoping for a miracle, when a young woman passed by. In a moment of concentration-camp flirtation, Bau held the drawing up to her face, and when he returned to the office, found that the negative had succeeded, and he had the necessary blueprint.
That crisis averted, he sought out the young woman, Rebecca Tannenbaum, and the two conducted a clandestine courtship in the camp, knowing that if they were caught, both would be shot. Their relationship culminated in a secret wedding ceremony held in the dark of night in one of the women's barracks, where more than a thousand women could be housed at a time, said Clila Bau.
Bau's mother performed the ceremony, using silver rings that a jeweler in the camp's watchmaker shop had made from a silver spoon. Bau traded the ring for weeks of his daily bread ration. The two consummated their marriage on the third row of wooden beds, sharing the space with the other women who slept there. When the horn was blown the next morning for roll call, the women all laid on top of Bau in order to hide him from the Nazi officers.
The Bau wedding was immortalized in the film Schindler's List, fictionalizing some of the details, said Hadassah Bau — "My mother always said they didn't have a chuppah like that, because who had cloth just lying around?" — and creating a strange kind of celebrity for the family.
The pair became known for their attempts to bring humor and joy to their fellow inmates. Bau made a deck of playing cards that he called "Hope" cards, featuring images of people during more normal times. He would pull them out when someone was losing hope, said Hadassah Bau, showing them that they could look like that again, with worries as mundane as professional goals or family arguments.
He also created a book of poems, written on small squares of cardboard paper collected from the Nazis' discarded cigarette boxes. The book, which contained a small, pressed flower he had given to his wife, was kept inside the case of artists' tools he had managed to keep hidden in the camp.

The case was taken from Bau while he was still in the camp, but miraculously turned up at Schindler's factory when Bau was moved there.
"From then on, for the rest of his life," said Hadassah Bau, "he kept it with him at all times."
It was only in 1993 on the couple's 50th wedding anniversary — when Schindler's List was being screened in Israel and reporters came to interview the couple — that Joseph Bau found out that it was his wife who had worked to get his name on Schindler's list.
The Baus found each other after the war — "another story of miracles," Hadassah Bau said — got married again in Krakow, where she, their older daughter, was born, and made their way to Israel in 1950.
In Israel, Bau devoted himself to learning Hebrew, turning to illustration, movies and animation with time, and working as a master forger for the Mossad. Known as the Israeli 'Walt Disney,' he produced animated shorts for movie theaters and television, and created the opening and closing titles and credits for nearly every Israeli movie made from the 1950s though the 1970s.
Their family, said Hadassah Bau, was a happy one, where jokes, comical songs and humor were valued above all else.
The artistic gene was also passed on to his children and grandchildren, all of whom work in the creative arts.
"Art, for us, is everything," said Hadassah Bau.
She and her sister have run the nonprofit museum for the last 19 years, touring the world to tell their parents' story, and are now raising money to publish their father's concentration camp book of poems, The World and I and their mother's diary, In The Name of God! and translate his memoir, Dear God! Have You Ever Gone Hungry? into English.

When their mother died in 1997, said Hadassah Bau, it was nearly impossible for their father to find the will to live. But the museum was his idea, and when he died in 2002, it was already up and running.
Their family history is crucial, said the sisters, a piece of the Holocaust that can never be forgotten. It's a sentiment they've passed on to their children as well — successfully, it seems, as Hadassah Bau's son married his own wife in the same place where his grandparents got married: on the grounds of the Plaszow concentration camp.
50th anniversary of my starting to believe in HASHEM. Part 1
What started out as a morning dream right before I woke up was to change my life. I was an atheist or at least agnostic in my belief. I observed more or less nothing. My family on my mother's side were Reform Jews for over 100 years I was the product of all this. My father's father broke away from traditional Judaism from a family that was born into the world of a Jewish Publisher and exposed too much to modernity and at the age of 17, his father had died and his older brother who converted in order to teach in the University influenced him. This and the fact that most likely he had been taken to the Kaporos ceremony or his father had examined a Shochet in action. The slaughter of the chickens, the German -Austrian propaganda and his older brother had gotten him to give up.
I posted this five years ago when my friend Carl mentioned here was still alive. He passed away last year on Chaf Tammuz so may this mention raise his Neshama. Now on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of two private miracles, I am posting this week the occurrence of the first one and next two weeks the continuation.
As I wrote last week, I am about to tell a very-very personal story. It was the spark that initiated my becoming Frum. But first a bit of a background first: I was brought up a 6th Generation Reform Jew. My grandfather, a cigar smoker, had insisted that I start learning in Reform Sunday School for my Bar Mitzvah so after the High Holidays of 1956 (5716) my mother enrolled me in the Steven Wise Free Synagogue. It was almost completely free of being a Synagogue and anybody who went there could not easily become the Wise son.
I was just a little over 9 and 1/2 when I introduced our first Chanucha into our house and little be known to me the first Seder that I was to conduct would only be reported to my dying grandfather in the cancer ward of Montefiore Hospital in the Bronx. I never had what Rabbi Simon Jacobson wrote this year:
"Tatte, ich vel ba dir fregen fir kashes…" (Father, I will ask you four questions).
That is how I – and millions of other children – would begin asking the traditional four questions at the annual Passover Seder.
That is how I – and millions of other children – would begin asking the traditional four questions at the annual Passover Seder.
This year, for the first time in my life, I do not have my father before me to ask him the questions. I will not sit at his table, as I did for so many years, watching him quietly smile as we would pose the four questions.
No I had to conduct the Seder myself, because my father had been a child sent to a Catholic Orphanage at the age of 3 during WWI and he never had a Seder from his anti-religious father. I even tried to answer the questions in my own way from my scanty knowledge of Torah on that first Seder. Due to my bed time and it was daylight savings time, the Seder was conducted before Sun down. In fact we had no knowledge of selling Chametz or the forbidden use of Chametz. This was in fact the first year that we had Matzos in the house. My mother treated me to a dish called Gefilte Fish that I had never heard of and for me made Matzo Ball Soup. (Somehow this tradition had penetrated her generation.)
As the Reform wear their Tallisim as a scarf and we had no Tallis in the house, I grabbed the hand me down Scarf that I inherited from my anti-religious grandfather to have some sort of link to the elders and conducted the Seder in English from the Reform book that I had received from the "Temple". My father told me that I was making a joke of the religion to which I answered that I had no Tallis and this was the closest thing that I had and a link with my forefathers.
A year or two later, I visited my friend whom I was to learn in my adulthood the son of members of the Communist Party. They invited me to a lunch at their house and they were going to put Bacon on their Matzos. Now eating Bacon on Bread during Pessach might not have bothered me but not on Matzos that were something holy during Pessach so I declined. This was perhaps one of some of the tests that I had from HASHEM but at that time it did not correlate with me but reflecting back over the years, the refusal although far from Yiddishkeit was a religious plus for a fellow too young to fully observe Mitzvos.
When I was close to 14 the Reform Rabbi of the Free Synagogue of Flushing was teaching me how to become an Atheist. I walked out of the Synagogue, left the Reform and eventually did become an Atheist or Agnostic at the age of 16 but I didn't need to be Jewish or have Synagogue for that. That test I passed, but the atheistic-liberalism from the Reform teaching had wounded my soul so perhaps this caused the slippage at the age of 16. For life is not a continuous Aliyah in gains but steps forwards and backwards.
Something else happened to me during these years, I spent my whole free time in Astronomy with the exception of dating like a red blooded non-religious fellow does. When the Ranger Seven went to the moon, the first photos were transmitted back live and I watched them with my friend. I told him, "I saw these photos before, I remember them." Then I recalled a series of dreams that I had around the age of 12 or 13 and passed it off a coincidence and my concentration on Astronomy.
During my first year of College in CCNY, things were not going as I had expected. I had managed to skip a year of College Chemistry and Physics, but going into the second year with first year of Calculus not under my belt and getting used to a new environment was hard. I had not listened to my friend Jerry who told me do the course again and "get a few A's under your belt." Well that was my desire to graduate younger - I guess to get to Vietnam quicker. Still I entered CCNY and revised a non-existent Astronomy Club with the help of Professor Cotton. At the end of the year, I worked as an assistant for him and proctored the final examination. After the exam a woman came up to me old enough to be my mother. She was interested how a freshman could proctor an examination and where I learned Astronomy from. Her name by the way, Toby Willig* whom I would have years later for guidance on my path to becoming Frum. All this time, I lead weekend Astronomy expeditions to my country house in Greenwood Lake, NY. *She later become the President of Emunah and is the mother of Rabbi David Willig Shlita.
It was the weekend of April 21 to 23. Archie (aside note for those who remember the comic books – he was married to a Betty so I found out how the Archie comics that I read as a kid ended) drove me up to the bungalow. We were going to observe the last of the Lyrid or Eta-Aquarid Meteor Shower, took photos of the sky on Friday and Saturday nights. (Remember I am an Agnostic more of a Goy than Jew) On Sunday morning after coming up from our observing position on the dock with an 85 to 90% view of the sky I noticed a drunk driver had rammed the mailboxes on the side of road and I changed my camera setting from night to day (that would prove a bad mistake). I figured that I could get a write up about 18 year olds from NJ that drove to NY to drink in our local Greenwood Lake paper (but I never did in the end).
After resting up, we drove home to the City. The next morning, I had a dream that was about to change my life. I dreamt that I was going to see the biggest fireball meteor that I ever saw in my life. (Including to this day) I dreamt that I was going to see this great fireball, get my name in the New York Times with the article starting on the front page and then meeting two female class mates outside of the Physics office in CCNY getting congratulations and a kiss on the check from them and being congratulated by Professor Mark W. Zemansky. (The famous Physics book in those days was Sears & Zemansky and he was a famous specialist in Thermodynamics. A great dream especially the part with the girls and that was that. (I bet you expected a young non-religious assimilated youth to dream of meeting Rav Moshe Feinstein, The Lubavitcher Rebbe and Rav Yosef Baer Soleveichik by the Physics Dept.)
But wait, that afternoon I was on the number 7 train home from CCNY on the elevated part of the tracks and I looked out towards the south and said to myself "The Meteor is going to come out of the South". It was late in the afternoon and I was restless. For some reason, I could not learn. I figured I would walk over 13 blocks to my friend Carl and go across the street from him to Dr. Glass's Pharmacy to purchase sunglasses.
Carl decided to walk me back to my house to get some exercise. We were going up Greenpoint Ave between 47th and 46th street when Carl said to me, "Take off those sunglasses you look like an idiot as the Sun has just set." No sooner did I remove them and place them in my pocket. Carl says, "Look at that it is too bright to be a meteor it must be a UFO!" Sure enough going from South to North was a meteor with a diameter as wide as the moon leaving a giant contrail in the sky. I raced home to get my camera. But I had my focus stop at F22 for the mailbox photo instead of F2 for the contrail photo.
Somehow the dream was in the background and I managed to call up the NY Times. I gave them my roll of film and a full scientific report on the meteor, speed, color, and other details. They wrote the article. Some lucky fellow managed to actually photograph the meteor in flight so I was out of luck especially because of my camera F stop. And the next day, everything fell into place.
So did I recognize the miracle - of course not. Why should I believe it was more than an accident and I went about my school work on April 25th, '66 with little worries and cares and bit of pride for making the NY Times. (In those days it was not known as an extreme leftist rag). All went about according to the laws of nature and I continued my studies through summer school to learn more Calculus like electron spin Matrixes.
In early August, I had finished my summer school and was back up at Greenwood Lake waiting for the Perseid Meteor Shower. It was a cloudy night so as I lay in my bed, I began to reflect on the physics behind my dream. Let's see my brainwaves were in my bed on the morning of April 24th and the earth was in such and such a point in space traveling in its orbit at 25,000 mile per day going around the Sun at 18,000 miles per hour with the Sun going around the galaxy at such and such miles per hour. My mind waves had gone to the observance of the meteor then to the NY Times that evening, the reading of the NY Times article on my way to College, the Physics Dept. the Next Morning and also on the Subway Train the previous day. Trying to figure out things I realized that my mind had been: (1) Back and forth in time. (2) My brainwaves had traveled back and forth instantly distances greater than the speed of light. This called for a new theory of Physics that could explain the phenomena. I began to go deeper and deeper into the consequences of my theory. There was a dimension above time and space for this travel (little did I know that Klein in 1923 had come up with a 5th dimension and in the future around 1980 Prof. Schwartz of UCLA was going to come up with 11 dimensions proven mathematically.) My conclusion was that one's brain waves somehow could travel physically back and forth to anyplace in the Universe instantly! I called this the Principle of Cosmic Unity or the Principle of Oneness. This would be the biggest thing in my family since the Exclusion Principle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_exclusion_principle
My mind was ticking away faster than any quad I7 computer will ever be. Suddenly the Oneness hit me like a ton of bricks. The Universe is ONE! Suddenly, something vague buried deep in my subconscious from 9-10 years back in Sunday School hit me. One of the few sentences that I knew in Hebrew "SHEMA YISRAEL HASHEM ELOKAYNU HASHEM EHUD" (Hear O'Israel, The L-RD our G-D, The L-RD is One.)
The Good Mapamnik debates the man with the Kipa:
Politically, I was moving more to the right but religiously, I was still with MAPAM and the anti-religious people. The week after my new physics theory, I was back in CCNY to pick up my grades and I stopped off at the Physics Dept. A fellow named Himmelstein was packing up his stuff as he was going for his MS and PhD at Columbia University and leaving us. I had never said more to him than hello or goodbye but my theory was in the back of my mind. I wanted to find out from him if G-D could exist. We debated and argued for a few hours about Cain meeting his wife and other G-D walking in Gan Eden, The Hand of G-D, etc. I had a Catholic concept of Heaven and Hell and he dispelled that. My whole Atheistic an Agnostic belief was just about out the window after about two hours of debate and me absorbing everything he said about miracles being natural events with minute probabilities.
Still it was going to take another miracle to get me solid in my faith and a visit from my friend Howard to set me on the right track but that is going to be another story later on. I will only end this part of the story with a note. For some time I learned Chavrutha in Rehovot with Dr. Pinchas Fuchs. We debated whether or not one should say Hallel on Yom HaAtzmaut (Israeli Independence Day) or not. He replied to me that even for a private miracle one should say Hallel all the more so for a national miracle. I decided to look for the Newspaper Clipping that I had from '66. It turned out that it said April 25, '66. I looked up the date: Hey or the 5th of Iyar! (Ind. Day) The two days of Miracles occurred on the 4th and 5th of Iyar! 7 years after the meteor on the same Hebrew Calendar night, my son Asher Shalom was born! Copied and pasted from writing by Danny Shoemann Shlita (who was bullied off of the internet by the Charedim with all his great contributions.) If one experiences a miracle, one should celebrate the day of the miracle every year. On this day one should set aside time to thank Hashem for the miracle and to talk about the miracle.

Diaenoxe - Sadomasochisme Satanique & Heresies Diverses
WTF Album: Sadomasochisme Satanique & Heresies Diverses
Tags: Electronic, sexual, experimental, abstract
WTF Quality: Abstract bizarre sex ritual music
Lifespan: 1980 -
Country: France
Link: http://www.archive.org/details/Diaenoxe-SadomasochismeSataniqueEtHeresiesDiverses
Music throughout known history has been used to accompany stories. Vibrations we know as real "sound" are fitted with tales of epic events and thus are imbued with "atmosphere" and "mood." Stripped of the words, much of modern non-vocal music is a kind of open-ended storytelling with various scenes, events, transitions, developments, and perhaps dynamic tension and release. The sounds are real. Sometimes we know how they are produced (what they are), other times they are unknown. When we listen we interpret them into feelings.
This album is a collaborative effort, an "InterRemix" between Diaenoxe (Phillippe Rivrain) and Uberlulul (Martin Lulu) [Lulu, by the way, translates into "Excentric" in English]. Rivrain describes the music as "apocolyptic, absurd," and the album's title and artwork, together with the sounds to be heard within, are sure to conjure up images of bizarre sex rituals.
While the representation of the music seems clear and straightforward, the music itself contains an abundance of sounds that cannot be linked to images or ideas in such a clear fashion. They are left open to the imagination. A sound event containing complex timbres and harmonics could be almost anything - water motion, a winding machine, close up sounds of micro-organisms, an oscillating electric circuit, planets colliding, the dream of a fairy creature, and so on ad infinitum, whereas the sound of a moaning female leaves little room for interpretation. Once we know what it is, we simply cannot, for all intents and purposes, escape this knowledge.
Many of the sounds in Sadomasochisme Satanique & Heresies Diverses lie in between the two extremes of recognizability. Some sounds certainly have a strange deep vocal groaning quality, but more like that of a demon or cyborg, not of any natural human voice. Other sounds are reminiscent of water droplets, while others could represent animal sounds. Still many others are so far from sounds we know and have stored in our minds as to be fairly novel. If we listen to lots of abstract experimental music, we may have crude ways of describing such sounds - fluttery, crunchy, swoopy, gliding, harmonically rich, thin, piercing, throbbing, tightly buzzing, scratchy; we may also use onomatopoeia, or, as above, we may use metaphor. We naturally tend to visualize, some of us more than others, but interplay between the senses is a common human trait.
The word "abstract" can take on many meanings depending on its context; in visual art, there is a design but no real objects being depicted. In philosophy it is thinking about thought itself apart from real world phenomena. As a strict definition, abstraction means "apart from concrete existence," so all verbal communication is in essence abstract. Reality itself, our experience of senses as processes within the brain, can be perceived as a foggy, dreamlike notion. In music, it is hard to define what is abstraction. One possibility is in music that lacks traditional elements - tonality and melody, as well form based on those elements. Another possibility, detached from history, is that the sounds themselves are of unknown origin and we therefore cannot visualize their source.
In both senses, Diaenoxe's music is highly abstract, particularly another recent album, Obd Gong Damötöu. The track titles are not in English (perhaps a few of the words are French?) and the music is fairly devoid of rhythm, tonality, melody, harmony, or concrete sounds. I have no idea what it's supposed to be, other than strange music.
Sadomasochisme Satanique & Heresies Diverses is interesting in that it combines this highly abstract approach with a strongly cinematic theme underlying the music. Only the first track has a fairly straight rhythmic beat and harmony - the following tracks lead us on a trip into a strange place which resembles our reality but is not quite so.

TORONTO, Nov 24 (Reuters) - The Toronto Stock Exchange's main index turned negative on Monday morning as the financials group was weighed down by an earnings warning from Royal Bank of Canada's (RY.TO), which offset gains in resource shares.
Royal, the country's biggest bank, said its fourth-quarter profit, due next week, would be reduced because of held-for-trading securities losses and said it would book a provision for credit losses of about C$620 million. [ID:nWNAB6795]
The financials group was down 2.5 percent. The S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 1.97 points to 8,153.42.

VERTIC publishes a Legislative Guide on UNSCR 1540
VERTIC has published a 'Legislative Guide on National Implementation of UN Security Council Resolution 1540 (2004)'. The Guide was developed as guidance for States when they are engaged in the process of implementing UNSCR 1540. It identifies and organizes in one document the model laws, implementation kits and handbooks that have already been developed by the IAEA, OPCW, VERTIC and other legislative assistance providers to assist States in implementing the international legal instruments to prohibit and prevent the proliferation of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons and related materials. It is available on the VERTIC website in Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
In addition to an Introduction, the Guide has four main parts:
- Part II covers biological weapons and materials;
- Part III covers chemical weapons and materials;
- Part IV covers nuclear weapons / nuclear and other radioactive material; and
- Part V briefly discusses other international instruments relevant to UNSCR 1540.
Development of the Guide was informed by operative paragraph 12 of UN Security Council Resolution 1977, adopted on 20 April 2011, which requested the 1540 Committee, with its Group of Experts, to:
"…identify effective practices, templates and guidance, with a view to develop a compilation, as well as to consider preparing a technical reference guide about resolution 1540 (2004), to be used by States on a voluntary basis in implementing resolution 1540 (2004), and in that regard, encourages the 1540 Committee, at its discretion, to draw also on relevant expertise, including, civil society and the private sector…"
For additional questions about the Guide, please contact Acting Director of the National Implementation Measures Programme, Scott Spence.

"After nearly 50 years of blindfold diplomacy when Britain actively connived with Nigeria to blind the world to the horrors and atrocities committed by Gowon, Obasanjo, Buhari at al, the world is slowly waking up to their responsibility of accepting the fact that Britain sponsored the Gowon administration to commit mass murder against Biafrans and Igbos in particular.

Lice Prevention
Tiny and annoying, head lice can turn into a major problem if they hitch a ride home on your child's head.
Lice cannot jump and they do not fly, but they are excellent hitchhikers. Most objects that are regularly in contact with the hair may harbor lice. This includes hats, scarves, coat hoods, helmets, pillows, sleeping bags, combs and brushes. Teach children not to share these items, and they should hang hats and coats on individual hooks. Check your child for nits if a school lice notice is sent home. That way you can catch any infestation early. Learn the signs and symptoms of head lice. Excessive scratching and small red sores or bumps on the back of the neck and scalp are a warning sign. Not everyone will experience these signs, so it is always important to still perform a lice check on your child.
"All treatment options are natural and organic!"
Head Lice and Facts
Pediculus capitis (head lice) are parasitic wingless insects that live on the head and feed on the blood of humans. An adult is called a louse and is about the size of a sesame seed. The eggs are called nits and are even smaller sometimes mistaken for dandruff flakes.
The eggs (nits) are white when first laid, then turn a reddish brown color once they have been fed and stick to the hair shaft by a glue substance in which the female louse creates to protect the egg.
Head lice and nits are mainly detected behind the neckline and the ears, this being the warmest part of the head, and the darkest area for them to hide.
A mature female louse lays about 6 eggs a day, eggs are white and less than 1mm long. Nits hatch in 7-10 days and reach maturity in 10-12 days, in which they live as an adult for up to about month on the scalp.
An adult louse can live up to 72 hours off the head and will die of starvation and dehydration within that time frame.
Head lice are contagious, and more commonly found in children between the ages of 3-11. Close contact along with the sharing of brushes, hats, helmets, and hair ties are the main causes of infestations.

All family members should be checked for Head lice as this is the most vital part in breaking the cycle of lice. If found, you should be treated right away. Once the treatment has been done, the following process should be followed.
Remove all hair from brushes and combs and soak in hot boiling water for 10 minutes or soak in alcohol for about an hour.
Wash all hair accessories. (hats, hair ties and headbands)
Strip bedding and wash on hot cycle and put into the dryer.
Do not share brushes combs or pillows.
Avoid head to head contact as much as possible.
Keep long hair tied back at school.
Keep your follow up appointment with your head lice specialist as this is an important part of your plan to break this cycle.
There is no need to wash plastic toys, as lice only lives' on human hair and feeds on human blood, so the longer they are away from their environment, the weaker they become. But if you want to make sure that you have a louse free home, a good thing is to seal stuffed toys in a plastic bag for approx 2 weeks.
Never share a Hat or Comb or Lice could Make your Head their Home!
Questions and answers
Q: How will I know if my child has Head lice?
When lice bite, due to the reaction of the saliva, you may itch and scratch, and feel a tickling in the hair. You should then check your child and family's hair or contact a Lice removal specialist that has the required experience to successfully remove the lice. Some children do not experience these symptoms.
Q: I can see small white dots in my child's hair are these eggs or dandruff?
Dandruff can be shaken out from the hair. Eggs can't as they are stuck with a special glue that the female louse covers her egg with. Eggs are about half inch down from the scalp and white in color until they have their first meal, in which the color changes to a reddish brown.
Q: How are Head lice spread?
Head lice are spread with direct head to head contact along with the sharing of hats, scarves, pillows and clothing.
Q: Can Head lice fly?
No, head lice do not fly. They actually crawl from head to head by direct contact and have claws that cling to the hair.
Q: How long do Head lice live?
Head lice are able to live up to 1 month on the head. They can't survive more than 72 hrs without blood from the host.
Q: Can our pets contact Head lice?

Even when specifically approved by the pope, decrees of the Holy Office are not infallible. They call for a true assent, internal and sincere, but they do not impose an absolute assent, like the dogmatic definitions given by the pope as infallible teacher of the Faith.
From the Catholic Encyclopedia:I maintain that the Holy Office letter demands a true internal and sincere assent by good Catholics.
Yes, certainly it requires our assent. It is included in Denzinger.
The document doesn't get its authority from being published in Denzinger. It gets it from having been issued by the Holy Office, whose head is the Pope.
Again the burden of proof is being unreasonably shifted. The letter came from the Holy Office to the Abp. of Boston. It was made public in 1953 and appeared in several periodicals. It was included in Denzinger. The document says His Holiness approved the doctrine set forth therein. The Pope is the head of the Holy Office. We have met our burden of proof. If anyone believes that Pius XII did NOT approve this, the burden of proof is now on him to prove it. Not on us.

This may possibly be my favourite time of year, well except for Christmas that is – not only are the daffodils blooming everywhere, flowers springing up and making the gardens look beautiful once again but the weather has finally become nicer, the kids have been playing in the garden and the washing can finally unclutter my kitchen and make it outside to the washing line.
I love the smell of freshly cut grass (although it's a shame my hay fever doesn't like it quite so much) and there is nothing better than getting into freshly cleaned sheets which have been dried in the fresh air. It really is the simple things in life which please me greatly. I'm sure I am not alone here.
Of course this time of year also means that the shops are filled with Easter Eggs, and while the children don't just have any – they need to wait for the Easter Bunny to deliver them, I have sneaked a tray of 12 Crème Eggs into the top of the fridge hidden away from the children as they are my favourite, thankfully the kids don't actually like them but if they see them I will have to explain that I've not got them any special Easter chocolate as it isn't Easter just yet.
Did you know that the Cadbury's factory makes over 1.5 Million Crème Eggs every single day? Now that is a job I would love….although I'm sure I would soon get sick of the sight of them. Take a look at this infographic to find out more Eater facts.
We love an Easter Egg hunt in our household, however we do find that coming from such a large family the children are inundated with chocolate. Last year those Eggs saw us through to the Summer and I even had some of mine left in October!
I do have to be careful with the amount of chocolate and bad fats I consume however and have written before about my FH (Familiar Hypercholesterolaemia) before, I am on supposed to be on tablets to control my cholesterol levels however I am a nightmare at remembering to take them, instead I prefer to limit the foods I eat, eat healthily when I can and balance my diet with a very good intake of fresh fruits and vegetables, meals are packed with these and I have also started adding whey protein to my smoothies as it thought to help lower cholesterol levels as well as having other health benefits such as aiding weight-loss, and helping to build immunity and contains all 9 essential amino acids and is low in lactose content.
Of course, I won't avoid eating the Easter Eggs but I won't over indulge either.

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 19, 2012) - Halo Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HLO)(FRANKFURT:HRLN) ("Halo" or the "Company") wishes to advise that it has received notification from Hays Lake Gold Inc. ("Hays Lake") terminating its option to earn a further 24% interest (for a total 75% interest) in the Duport Property, located near Kenora, Ontario.
As a result of this decision by Hays Lake to terminate its option, the Company has determined to relinquish its entire interest in the Duport Property to Sheridan. The Company expects to record a pre-tax write-down of approximately $4.0 million, net of the $8.0 million redeemable preferred shares.
The Company originally acquired a 100% interest in the Duport Property in February 2005 from the Sheridan Platinum Group ("Sheridan"). As partial consideration the Company had issued $8.0 million in redeemable preferred shares which were to be redeemed no later than November 1, 2012. In October 2008 the Company entered into an option agreement with Hays Lake whereby Hays Lake had subsequently earned its 51% interest in the Duport Property.

Leafy-with-love banks and the green waters of the canal Pouring redemption for me, that I do The will of God, wallow in the habitual, the banal, Grow with nature again as before I grew. The bright stick trapped, the breeze adding a third Party to the couple kissing on an old seat, And a bird gathering materials for the nest for the Word Eloquently new and abandoned to its delirious beat. O unworn world enrapture me, encapture me in a web Of fabulous grass and eternal voices by a beech, Feed the gaping need of my senses, give me ad lib To pray unselfconsciously with overflowing speech For this soul needs to be honoured with a new dress woven From green and blue things and arguments that cannot be proven.

The specificity of cytochrome P450 4A11 (CYP4A11) against luciferin-4A O-demethylation in human liver microsomes (HLMs) and human renal microsomes (HRMs) and selectivity of CYP4A11 inhibition by epalrestat were investigated. Kinetic analysis of luciferin-4A O-demethylation yielded Vmax and S50 values of 39.7 pmol/min per milligram protein and 43.2 μM for HLMs (Hill coefficient 1.24) and 39.4 pmol/min per milligram protein and 33.8 μM for HRMs (Hill coefficient 1.34), respectively. Among the selective CYP inhibitors tested, HET0016 (CYP4 inhibitor) exclusively inhibited luciferin-4A O-demethylation by HLMs and HRMs. Furthermore, anti-CYP4A11 antibody nearly abolished the activity of both tissue microsomes. Luciferin-4A O-demethylase activity of HLMs was significantly correlated with lauric acid ω-hydroxylase activity, a marker of CYP4A11 activity (r = 0.904, P < 0.0001). Next, effects of epalrestat on CYP-mediated drug oxidations were examined. Epalrestat showed the most potent inhibition against CYP4A11 (IC50 = 1.82 μM) among the 17 recombinant enzymes tested. The inhibitory effect of epalrestat on CYP4A11 was at least 10-fold stronger than those on CYP4F2, CYP4F3B, and CYP4F12. For known CYP4 inhibitors, in contrast, HET0016 inhibited the activities of CYP4A11 and CYP4F2 (IC50 = 0.0137–0.0182 μM); 17-octadecynoic acid reduced activities of CYP4A11, CYP4F2, CYP4F3B, and CYP4F12 to a similar extent (IC50 = 5.70–17.7 μM). Epalrestat selectively and effectively inhibited the CYP4A11 activity of HLMs (IC50 = 0.913 μM) and HRMs (IC50 = 0.659 μM). These results indicated that luciferin-4A O-demethylase activity is a good CYP4A11 marker of HLMs and HRMs, and that epalrestat is a more selective CYP4A11 inhibitor compared with known CYP4 inhibitors.

CCA, Karidat get $10K gift from TakeCare FoundationFriday, November 4th, 2011
The TakeCare Foundation presented $10,000 worth of grants to two non-profit organizations on Saipan in a ceremony at FHP Health Center in Garapan yesterday.
Sylvia D. Duenas, foundation chairperson, led the presentation of a $5,000 check to the board members and staff of the Commonwealth Cancer Association and another $5,000 check to representatives of Karidat's House of Manhoben.
TakeCare Foundation consists of employees of TakeCare Insurance and the FHP Health Center who give contributions to support charitable and educational causes that enhance the health, wellness and welfare of individuals, families, and communities to which it belongs.
Duenas said the two non-profit organizations are among the four chosen beneficiaries for TakeCare Foundation's first grant cycle for 2011. The other two are from Guam and will be receiving their grants next week.
"They applied for the grant in December 2010 and were selected based on a set of criteria," she explained.
Duenas disclosed that five non-profit organizations on Saipan and Guam applied for the grant, with the maximum grant of $5,000 to be awarded to each chosen organization.
"We're very excited because this is the first time in years that TakeCare Foundation awarded grants to non-profit organizations on Saipan," she told Saipan Tribune. "We believe in what they do."
Duenas urged other non-profit organizations to check out their website, www.takecareasia.com, to download forms then submit their applications.
"We would love to help. We highly encourage non-profit organizations to apply for a grant with TakeCare Foundation," she added.
CCA board chair Bud White thanked TakeCare Foundation for the "generous contribution" which he said will be used primarily for community outreach activities.
"We really, really appreciate them, especially the employees who are part of TakeCare Foundation and make contributions to make this donation possible," he said.
White said the grant will be used to educate the community, particularly the women, to become more aware of breast and cervical cancers.
"We also want to train volunteers and get the word out about cancer awareness in the community," he added.

Here's what the Samsung Galaxy S9 might look like next to the Galaxy S8
47 Comments
1. Diego! (Posts: 849; Member since: 15 Jun 2009)
If these are the final designs for S9 and S9+, I'm gonna pass on them and wait for the Samsung Galaxy S 10 or SX. Fugly!
20. Cat97 (Posts: 1516; Member since: 02 Mar 2017)
Way uglier than the S8. And I don't even like the S8...
50. Cat97 (Posts: 1516; Member since: 02 Mar 2017)
It just struck me: I think the side bezels are thicker in order to immitate the iPhone X better :)
24. phljcnth (Posts: 540; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
I'll tell you now this is fake. Just look at the date on the display - it's not the Unpacked date.
42. kevv2288 (Posts: 260; Member since: 30 Jul 2015)
It's most likely the date the s9 will go on sale
49. phljcnth (Posts: 540; Member since: 30 Apr 2012)
It's unlikely Samsung will use the release date. Remember release date varies depending by region. Besides, the Unpacked date is normally used in official renders in previous Galaxys.
35. SayMobile (Posts: 147; Member since: 29 Jan 2014)
Still think its fake. Where are the curves !?
Cannot be this less prominent.
43. kevv2288 (Posts: 260; Member since: 30 Jul 2015)
I don't think it's the final cuz you can see all the sensors on the top bezel. Same thing last year with the s8, all the leaks showed hideous sensors, until the final was revealed with glossy black bezel that hides them. Also, this just looks like a modified S8 Active. Totally fake!
2. haruken (Posts: 303; Member since: 06 Nov 2013)
As much as I love Samsung, this is a regression and reminds me of the S5 days nightmare.
The purpose of promotional renders is to sell the product (hence the glow to hide the bezels) , yet with this one they're showing every single front sensor and the bezels look bigger than last year's.
Or maybe I'm just in denial...
41. duckofdeath (unregistered)
These are not promotional renders. The nonsense info on the UI is a clear indication to that.
3. JohnR (Posts: 122; Member since: 08 Sep 2017)
Not me. That's looks fantastic
4. Arashmahmoodi25 (Posts: 128; Member since: 07 Apr 2017)
Plz Samsung work on the os . Please
5. shield (Posts: 746; Member since: 12 Sep 2015)
Ugly, S8 looks good.
6. AngelicusMaximus (Posts: 527; Member since: 20 Dec 2017)
I could be wrong, but it looks to me like the S9 is just less curved at the edges than the S8 is. That might explain why the bezels look bigger. There's more of it on the front than on the side like previously.
12. AngelicusMaximus (Posts: 527; Member since: 20 Dec 2017)
If that's the case, I would think that a lot of folks would welcome this change. I think that most would agree that the curved edge while attractive, serve no practical purpose. I have a Note 8 & the only thing the curved edges are good for are accidental touches on the screen. In fact, I don't see how you can effectively use it without a case.
By lessening the curve, & having more bezel on the front, it just becomes a more functional phone. So if that's what they're going for, I'm all for it.
7. deleon629 (Posts: 418; Member since: 04 Oct 2014)
So what you guys are telling us is that the S9 is basically gonna look like the S8 Active?
8. nodes (Posts: 1103; Member since: 06 Mar 2014)
oh man im gonna be so disappointed if that turns out to be the real device.
where do i upgrade from S8 then???

Do you really even need to upgrade? I'm sure your S8 could hold up well enough until the Note 9 is announced, and its not like the S8 is long in tooth either.

This is bad! Well at least they can sell more of their S8's now...

S9 looks looks ugly, stupid, dated and predictable next to S8.

It's funny that for so many people the rendering light settings make such a difference. A slightly different reflection on the corner and everyone hates it.
The two are 99% identical and yet some people think it's ugly. Some didn't like a curved screen but now when they tone down the curve just a little for them, they complain that it added an extra two hair widths of bezel.
I call BS when they can't even quantify the issue they have with it. At least on the iPX there was a huge notch in the screen and we could all agree what we were even being critical about. There are a lot bigger issues to care about, like the quality and type of battery, screen burn-in, new chassis material, new radios, new camera, in screen FPR etc.

These probably are not official renders.
Plus Samsung phones usually look better in the flesh than they do in renders anyway.

Get rid of the curved screen (useless gimmick) and improve the lousy stock messaging app. Those two issues are the bane of my just sold Note 8, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed there is an improvement in both with the S9/S9+.

LG V30 it is then. I needed Samsung to make the S9 a little wider. The narrowness of the S8 annoyed me to no end.

I prefer wider phone too but V30 isn't my choice for many reasons

the V30 is a very good phone... this coming from someone who currently Owns a Galaxy S8

Laugh all you want. Just because it isn't one of the "cool kids" phones doesn't mean it isn't a great device. Beautiful screen from my time with it, awesome manual camera which I shoot in 95% of the time, perfect size for me, battery life beats 95% of the flagships out there including the top three or four more popular ones, and beautiful sound via QuadDAC. If only LG knew what a decent front camera was it'd be near perfect.
