Bar Mitzvah Boy with new Tefililn
One of the many benefits of purchasing your Tefillin at the Sofer Center. Come experience the joy! Watch as Rabbi Kass puts the Parshios inside the Batim. learn all there is to know about your Tefillin. Connect.
The owner of these Tefillin was 27 years old getting his Tefillin checked for the first time since his Bar Mitzvah.... it was heart wrenching to have to let him know about this.
Out of the thousands of Tefillin we have checked we have found this only a handful of times... For this reason alone, it is important to have your Tefillin checked regularly... How many more years could he have gone on wearing problematic Tefilin?!
Fixed letter in Tefillin
Substituted word
As you can see here it is says Lo instead of Lecho. This Pesul can not be fixed. for more information follow link what you should know about Safrus
Water Damaged Tefillin
These Tefillin were left outside overnight and got rained on. The letters bled into each other. and cause these Tefillin to become not Kosher.
Whatever the situation be sure you keep your Tefillin with you at all times and never leave them outdoors.
Parsha Put in incorrectly
Narrow Retzuos
These Retzuos started out as 15mm (as you can see the one on the left) and were stretched to the point where they are now less then 9mm (Retzuah on the right),
The preferable width is 11mm according to the Chazon Ish and 10mm according to Rav Chaim Naeh. The minimal width for making a Brachah is 9mm. If a Retzuah has been squeezed together at one spot making it less than the minimal width but it can be pulled back in to the minimal width it is acceptable . If however it has been stretched out and is narrower than the minimal width at any spot it must be replaced.
The end of the Retzuos may be cut on an angle even though they will be less than the minimal width.
Lesson: Do not tie the straps on very tight or wrap them on the box very tightly as this will lead to eventual stretching and invalidating the Tefillin straps
Two Letters Touching In Tefillin
Two letters touching in Tefillin make them not Kosher. The reason for this is that the Torah says Ukesavtom and we learn out that the letters have to be Kesivah Tama.
One of the ideas of Kesavah Tama is that the letters need to be separate from each other and be totally surrounded by Klaf.
Being that these letters which are touching do not loose their own letter status or together form a third letter this is an easy fix, it is only necessary to scrape the connection and it will then be Kosher.
Hole In Tefillin Parshios
Every letter needs to be surrounded by Klaf. Should the hole be along the letter it would make it not Kosher.
As you can see here the Mem has a hole inside. but the hole is not touching the letter itself therefore it is still kosher.
Rabbi Kass was ordained by Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, former Ashkenazik Chief Rabbi of Israel. He is certified as a Sofer for both Kesivah and Hagoah by one of the leading experts in Safrus, Rabbi Avrohom Tzvi Vosner, Rav of the Vad Mishmeres Sta"m.

Case Studies.
There are many things that can render Mezuzah or Tefillin not Kosher, or at best minimally Kosher.
Some of which happen over time and some unfortunately are Possul from the get go,
Such as;
Letters, Words or/and Tagim that are Missing, Extra, Substituted, Touching, Broken. Improperly Spaced, Deformed. Faded, Cracked and weather damaged.
We document the problems that we find and periodically upload them to the website.
We hope that this will educate and encourage the public to purchase Tefillin and Mezuzos only from a reputable source, and to have their Mezuzos and Tefillin checked regularly.

A demagogue is a political leader who rises up in a democracy by appealing to the emotions, prejudices, and ignorance of the less-educated, poorer segment of a population. Performing as a popular rabble-rouser, he uses rhetorical skills to garner power and promote his political motives. A Demagogue usually opposes thoughtful deliberations, instead using any national crises to advocate for immediate action which advances his long-range goal of increased power to himself. Demogogues demonize political opponents by accusing them of weakness, iniquitous motives and disloyalty to the nation.
Demagogues have appeared in democracies since ancient Athens (i.e. Cleone, Alcibiades) to the present day. Adolf Hitler, the Uber-demagogue who afflicted the entire modern world, was democratically elected by his people. Democracies were instituted to ensure freedom for all and place government authority in the hands of the people. The demagogue exploits democracy's fundamental weakness: that ultimate power is held by the people, with nothing preventing the people from giving that power to a demagogue. The demagogue often displays hypnotic power to appeal to the lowest common denominator of a large segment of the people, the poor, the uneducated and the ill-informed. Charming the masses, demagogues exploit the freedom secured under democracy to gain a level of power for themselves that overrides the rule of law, and undermines democracy.

Which is America's best-selling, three-row, luxury SUV of all time (to-date)? If this wasn't an Acura article, would you have answered that it's the third-generation Acura MDX? Hmmm….
Acura reports that the MDX has had record sales during the first half of 2014. Broken down into concrete numbers, that's a 68.4 percent increase over the first six months of 2013. Adding these 30,664 units sold gives a total of 692,710 MDXs sold during its 15-year history. That's a SERIOUS number of cars!
Why is the Acura MDX SUV so popular? Acura says this is because the MDX SUV sets a "clear benchmark in its class, consistently delivering the best combination of features, function and performance that luxury buyers are after." Let's take a look at some of these trend-setting developments.
Over time, Acura has continually updated the MDX's shell according to the latest technology and materials. The 2014 vehicle is a full metamorphosis from previous models. The current MDX has a "more rigid, yet more lightweight body and chassis". We're speaking about 275 pounds lighter. This gives substantial improvement to "aerodynamic efficiency and low running resistance".
Design enhancements include "Acura's next-generation ACE™ body structure and the first-ever use of Acura's new hot-stamped steel, one-piece door stiffener ring". That these advancements make the MDX a safety leader is continually recognized. For example, the third-generation MDX received a "TOP SAFETY PICK+ rating from the IIHS, a feat only one other luxury SUV has matched".
Then, there are a whole collection of things that make the 2014 Acura MDX SUV nice to own and drive. One is its "class-leading EPA fuel-economy ratings of 20/28/23 mpg city/highway", making driving a little easier on your pocket. Another is the ease with which passengers can enter and exit third-row seats. This is thanks to the "kid-friendly One-Touch Walk-In feature". Third, connectivity is more easily accomplished thanks to the "next-generation AcuraLink™ system".
With its red, white, and blue manufacturing roots (Lincoln, Alabama) and a significant number of its parts sourced domestically, this third-generation, three-row, luxury MDX SUV should continue its popularity for generations to come.
Schedule a test drive today of the 2014 Acura MDX; we'd love for you to check out this model for yourself!

JEROMESVILLE — Over the years, the Hillsdale softball team has dominated the Wayne County Athletic League.
So when the Falcons hosted Norwayne with sole possession of first place in the league on the line, it was almost a foregone conclusion that they would prevail.
But the Bobcats had a bit of youthful ignorance on their side in the form of pitcher Kennedy Kay, who struck out 16 in a 7-2 win Tuesday in WCAL play.
"Me being a sophomore, I don't completely understand all of Hillsdale dominating," said Kay, who went 3 for 4 at the plate with two doubles and an RBI. "Last year, I remember they beat us by one or two in every game. And all the girls on our team were like, 'Yeah, we've never really won at Hillsdale.' They're the reigning state champ, and we know that they're a good team. But I just think if we beat them, obviously, that's going to show us how good we can be."
Kay dominated for most of the game. But when she did get into trouble, she worked her way out of it.
Hillsdale's Emma Fowler tagged Kay for a two-run single in the fourth, but that was the only blemish on her line. Kay needed 114 pitches to go the distance, yielding the two runs with five hits and a walk.
"(Kennedy) got in trouble (in different parts of the game), but she got her way out. She's improving, and that's scary for everybody else," Norwayne coach Bob Young said with a laugh.
Fowler's base hit in the fourth cut Hillsdale's deficit to 3-2. The score remained there until the sixth, when Tori Hankins plated a run with a hard grounder up the middle.
After Kay struck out the side in the bottom of the inning, Norwayne put the game out of reach in the seventh. But it didn't come without some controversy.
The Bobcats' first two hitters reached to start the inning, then Aubrey Jarvis grounded into a fielder's choice at third. After tagging third, Hillsdale third baseman Emily Crossen went to throw to first but was knocked down by the baserunner. Following a lengthy discussion between the two umpires, runner interference was called and Jarvis was ruled out at first.
The ruling made little difference, as Norwayne's next three hitters all knocked in a run to make it 7-2.
"We told (the players), 'Don't let up. We have to have that instinct to keep finishing, finish the game and not let up,'" Young said. "Hillsdale is a good team. A one- or two-run lead isn't enough."
Hillsdale's Hallie Goon reached with two outs in the seventh, but Kay struck out the next batter to end the game.
The Bobcats jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first, when Hankins and Reese King each knocked in a run on back-to-back singles. They extended their lead to 3-0 in the fourth on a Hankins RBI double to left.
Hankins terrorized Hillsdale pitchers Bryn Grabowski and Olivia Betson all game, as she went 4 for 5 with four RBIs. Two of her four hits were doubles.
After allowing the two early runs, Grabowski pitched well the rest of the way. The sophomore allowed three runs (two earned) on seven hits and four walks while striking out eight over five innings.
Betson tossed the final two innings and allowed four unearned runs on six hits with three strikeouts.
"(My talk with the team after the game was) we learn from this and we get ready for tomorrow," Hillsdale coach Hannah Fulk said. "Tomorrow is another big day, where we have our first tournament game. If we let today run into tomorrow, we'll be done. We have to learn from today and move on for tomorrow."
Norwayne improved to 15-4 overall and 11-1 in the league with the win, while Hillsdale dropped to 14-5 and 11-2 with the loss. Northwestern also has only two league losses.
Norwayne and Hillsdale are tentatively scheduled to play again Friday at Norwayne.
"(Today's win) puts us right there where we want to be (in the league race)," Young said. "We just have to keep playing and focus on every game."

Developed by Fabraz, Slime-San is a quirky, physics-based 2D platformer that sees the player in the role of a cute, tiny slime, as he journeys through the digestive track of a giant worm in search of freedom. Slime-San is unique in that it doesn't involve combat or collecting power ups; the objective is to avoid any obstacles present in each level, and then find the exit as quickly as possible.
The Nintendo Switch version of Slime-San includes 200 levels (compared to the original, which had 100 levels) for a total of 800 rooms. The game also has partially digested apples that when collected, will unlock new outfits, new play styles, shaders and mini games. Slime-San also includes the following unlockable game modes: NewGame+ (which includes the additional levels), Speed Running, Boss Rush and Local Multiplayer.
Gameplay relies on fast reflexes and twitch-like timing to survive. The first couple of stages are easy to complete, as the player jumps between platforms and slithers up walls by rapidly pressing A button. As the levels progress, they become increasingly difficulty. For example: the later levels contain acid pools, red barriers and a variety of enemies (i.e. blobs, flying slimes, etc) that can hinder Slime-San's progression.
The biggest challenge is navigating the floating platforms that appear later in the game. Some of these platforms will pass through hazards and walls, and the only way to survive is to either jump over the obstacle in question or cling to a wall if one is close enough. Depending on the level, the player may have to remain on the same platform, and if the player's timing happens to be off — Slime-San will either fall to the bottom of the level or end up in a pit, where he will die if he doesn't escape.
Slime-san can also become translucent and pass through green colored walls. This is achieved by pressing and holding the ZL button. When this happens, the player activates a feature called 'Slow Time', which is similar to the 'Bullet Time' engine used in games like Max Payne. The only issue with this feature is that it can hinder Slime-San's movement during tight jumps that require pin-point precision. It can also be an issue when certain levels fill up quickly with stomach acid, and contain multiple walls. Slime-San is capable of dashing, though, and this is done by pressing the ZR button. If done properly, the player can jump and then dash to a higher platform before being killed.
Slime-San is not an easy game to beat. Expect to die, and die often during the game's more challenging levels. And since the controls feel overly sensitive at times, it can be difficult to make some of the game's more difficult jumps. The player is given no room for error. A single mistake can (and most likely will) kill Slime-San. As disheartening as this may sound, the game is pretty fair at restarting the game from the same level where the player died, instead of sending them back to the beginning of the level. It's a decent trade off overall.
Graphically, Slime-San is a beautiful game despite its limited color palette. From the chalky appearance of its levels – to the oddly unique sprites and smooth animation – Slime-San manages to maintain a certain degree of quality that adds to its overall appeal. The music – which is a collection of techno-style beats – really enhances the game's atmosphere. The game's presentation is rock-solid, and it delivers an entertaining experience.
Slime-San is one of those games that is better enjoyed during a short bus ride or a get-together with the in-laws. It has the right balance of gameplay and replay value that will keep gamers coming back for more, long after they have defeated the game and collected all the in-game trophies.

One reason would be the files you are trying to delete are still being utilized. Another reason would be the files are actually locked or damaged and needs to be fixed. Some file with names that have special characters in it cannot be deleted as well.
This is because Mac might think that it's important for the functioning of the system. Another reason for files being unable to be deleted is due to the reason of system integrity protection.
In this article, we will tell you how to delete the files depending on the reasons we have stated above. Let's get started.
When you tried to delete a file, sometimes it cannot be deleted because Mac says that the file is being used. There are some solutions to this problem that you can implement in order to actually delete the file.
The first thing you should try is to restart the Mac device. This allows you to ensure that all applications have been closed. Even application files that are running in the background that uses the said file you want to quit can be closed from restarting the Mac device.

System Integrity Protection Causes
The rootless feature is also called SIP or System Integrity Protection. This was provided on Mac starting version 10.11 in order to prevent attacks from malware that modify protected folders and files on your Mac device.
In order to delete files that are protected by the SIP, you simply have to temporarily deactivate the SIP. This is how you can deactivate the SIP in versions of the Mac OS X El Capitan or higher:
Step 01 - Shut down your Mac device first.
Step 02 - Open your Mac device again while holding the keys Command + R while it is starting up. This will enter the Mac device in Recovery Mode.
Step 03 - Release the hold on these keys once the Apple Logo including its progress bar shows up.
Step 04 - Within the macOS Utilities Window, select Terminal.
Step 05 - Within the Terminal, enter the following: csrutil disable; reboot
Step 06 - Press the Enter button. Now, a message will display that the SIP is deactivated and you need to restart your Mac device.
Step 07 - Allow the Mac device to automatically reboot itself.
After this, you will be able to empty your Trash. It is suggested that you activate your SIP to ensure that your Mac device is protected. The steps to do so is the same as the one we stated before. However, this time, you will enter the following command: csrutil enable. After you do so, you have to reboot your Mac device for the said command to be activated.
You can use the Terminal to empty the Trash by force. You must take caution though as it might erase your data. Here are the steps to do so:
Step 01 - Launch Terminal.
Step 02 - Type the following: sudo rm –R
Step 03 - Put a space after the –R
Step 04 - Ensure that the space is included. Launch the Trash.
Step 05 - Select all folders and files within the Trash.
Step 06 - Drag these towards the Terminal and drop them. Now, the location of each file and each folder you have dropped will be displayed on the Terminal's window.
Step 07 - Press Enter button.
If you want to do it in Mac OS X, you have to type out the following: sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/
Instead of typing out sudo rm –R .
After you have read this guide, you will know now how to empty the Trash that doesn't allow you to. You will also be able to delete locked files on Mac.
For a safer way of deleting files on your Mac and cleaning your device, you can use iMyMac's Mac Cleaner. This is a great tool that helps you find clutter and junk files and delete them with a few clicks.
Excellent Thanks for your rating.

American Made, Cheaper Abroad: Urocit-K
The final post in our weekly series identifying prescription drugs manufactured in America and their prices.
Urocit-K (potassium citrate) is a medication used to prevent gout and kidney stones, as well as problems caused by kidney disease. Despite being made in the U.S., where it is also available as a generic, prices for Urocit-K are lower abroad than they are in U.S. pharmacies. Ninety tablets (10meq) of brand-name Urocit-K are $145.98 at a New York City Rite-Aid, and the generic is $124.08 at the same pharmacy. From an international online pharmacy, 90 tablets of Urocit-K are only $56.70. That's a 61% savings!
There are hundreds if not thousands of medications made in America that are sold for much lower prices elsewhere. We hope this series opened a window of light for Americans who are looking for affordable medication or interested in prescription drug manufacturing and their prices.American Made Prescriptions Are Cheaper Abroad, Urocit-K

Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone

Usage examples for grip
It is better, therefore, for general work to curve the jaws, putting the work sufficiently within the jaws to meet them at the back of the jaw, when the end will also grip the work. – Modern Machine-Shop Practice, Volumes I and II by Joshua Rose
So he went straight to the colonel, and when he came close he saw that the fat man was apparently in the grip of a chill. – Gunman's Reckoning by Max Brand
He had put out one of his big hands as he spoke, and had gripped my wrist with it- ill as he was, the grip of his fingers was like steel, and yet I could see that he had no idea that he was doing more than laying his hand on me with the appeal of a sick man. – Dead Men's Money by J. S. Fletcher

The PPS number – how (and when) to get one
When you start work in Ireland, you will need a PPS number. This is the number that the State uses to identify you when determining what taxes to deduct from your pay or when it pays any benefits to you, such as Unemployment Benefit.
So, how do you get one?
You will not be able to get a PPS number until you can show that you need one. In other words, you cannot apply for a PPS number until you have been offered a job or when you make a claim to the Social Welfare office, or when you access some health services.
You do not need a PPS number to apply for work in Ireland. If you are an EU citizen, simply state this on any CV or application letter. Irish employers know this entitles you to work here and should not ask you for a PPS number before offering you a job.
If you are not an EU citizen, you may be entitled to work because of the visa you have been issued. In this case you will have got a work permit, from the Garda National Immigration bureau. This too is sufficient evidence that you have the right to work here.
So, when do I apply for a PPS number?
You can apply when you have been offered work
In this case, ask your employer for a letter confirming the job offer.
You can apply when you make an application for a social welfare benefit or if you need it to access some hospital services
In this case, the social welfare or hospital you are dealing with will give you documentation to assist in your application.
When I am ready, how do I apply for a PPS number?
To apply for a PPS number you will need two documents:
- Proof of Identity
- Proof of Address
Proof of Identity
For EU citizens, a passport or National Identity card will be accepted as a proof of Identity. For non-EU citizens only a passport is acceptable.
Proof of address
As proof of address you will need one of the following:

The NNAT2 (Naglieri Nonverbal Ability Test - 2nd Edition) is a nonverbal ability exam for school-aged children. The test is comprised of 48 questions and lasts for approximately 30 minutes. The entire test is nonverbal, utilizing only colorful, universal symbols and shapes, so reading and writing skills are unnecessary to complete the test. This also allows for a more equitable test across language and cultural differences.
Below you will find examples from the NNAT.

Taking tourism to new heights by Alaba, trouble
The comfortable, the successful and the well-to-do, in their heart of hearts, wonder how they made it to be comfortable, to be successful and to be well-to-do. In such heart-searching moments they are bound to say: "there, but for the grace of God go I." It is this sense of 'remember you did not do this on your own' that has prompted a new tourism venture.
You see, the CSW (the comfortable, the successful and the well-to-do) love to gaze at the uncomfortable, the unsuccessful (failures) and those who are not well-to-do in order to appreciate their on well-being. The new tourism venture wishes to made them pay for this psychological relief that comes to the CSW by gazing on their opposites. There, but for the grace of God, go I. Alaba and his Oga Trouble have opened a tour of poverty and penury. Along with poverty and penury, there is also the third leg of the tour. It is called failure, not individual failure but communal failure, societal failure, national failure, a country's failure. Given the abundant resources that Nigeria has in poverty, penury and failure, it has the potential to be the centre of the new tourism stage called the tourism of pure negativism.
Alaba and his Oga Trouble have deliberately not advertised their tourism venture to Nigerians. Yes, like all comfortable, successful and well-to-do people around the world Nigerians in these categories might sometimes wonder how but for the grace of God and so on, but they do not appreciate being reminded of where they are coming from. So, the tourism of ppf (poverty, penury and failure) does not interest them. Even if it did they could not pay to view it. Only western tourists can be made to travel to Nigeria and be made to view poverty, penury and failure. Maybe once the venture gets the approval of Europeans, the Great British and the fabulous dollar rolling Yankees, the Chinese and the Japanese would come in. Then Nigerians would love poverty, penury and failure as tourist attractions!
The tourism products of poverty, penury and failure need no infrastructure. Or rather, it is a venture that already has the wherewithal to prosper. A tour of poverty can either be made on foot or on okada. There are no roads for kombi buses and jeeps. This raises security issues but once poor people realise that this a job and they need not antagonise poverty tourists, there were no threats. Plus the fact that, here was an opportunity to tell the affluent world the story of our poverty, our penury and our failure. And we all love relating our stories to wealthy strangers. The tourists are warned, just as visitors to zoos are warned, not to feed the animals. Here it is simply stated: do not feed the poor!
Poverty, so goes the first story, made a man and woman sell their daughter to a visitor from somewhere nobody knows. The parents, who could not supply the necessary documentation and so forgery had to help did not even tell the buyers the name of their daughter. The girl was devastated. She kept on telling her parents to tell her buyer what her name is but they would not. Even when the buyer asked, they bid him give her whatever name he liked. Being a mere middle man, he decided to leave that heavy responsibility of naming to the final owner. As she was led away and her parents clutched the thirty pieces of silver, the man and woman hoped that once their daughter had made it in the house of bondage she would come back and save her parents.
The penury tour, like the poverty one, does not ask why or how. It simply states and goes on. Streets full of young men hanging around the streets, saluting anyone who looks anything like comfort or success or well. Households full of young girls full of purposeless existence, hanging around, sitting on their hands until their mothers suggest they could be selling out of their pants. Penury as expressed on our dung hills, in our trash cans and in the gutters where plastic poverty might aid penury for a day or two.
The failure tour is our best product. Any country that would snatch failure from the jaws of victory must be the best failure tourism practitioner. Here, contrast is the cleverness needed to get to the tourist. The exhibits on the tour include fertile lands on the banks of two of the greatest rivers in the world. And these rivers have thousands of smaller flowing waters feeding the two rivers. And at the delta, as the single unified rivers leisurely go to deliver to the Atlantic wealth undreamed of in a thousand years are deposited for the wise to see.
There are other exhibits: the incredible muscled arms of our men made lax by lack of work; the wonderful pliant hair of our females discarded for the gloss of foreign hair: the brains of thousands of our wise men and women whose products proliferate, surrounded by forest, captured by creepers; billions and billions which could be used to better the situation and avoid failure dumped in soak aways, buried in farms and forgotten in water tanks.
This is not the place to speak of the profound effect that the poverty, penury and failure tourism products have had on the tourists who have taken the tours. Human beings as they are, they have been moved. And being moved, they wish to contribute to alleviating poverty, checking the spread of penury and preventing continuing failure. They have been cured of their humanitarian impulse by being told that it is not as if the Nigerians are not aware of these possibilities.
After all, our leaders tell us to go back to the land, to till the land. But did the till the land to be comfortable, successful and well-to-do. No. They tilled the national till. And their hope is that every Nigerian, through federal character will have a chance at tilling the till. U till then let our tourism products of poverty, penury and failure flourish!

When a recipe is your map in a foreign country
Oakland chef Monifa Dayo recently spent five months traveling the world. During this trip, she worked — and tried to work — in various restaurant kitchens. Her initial goal was to highlight and celebrate the contributions of brown people in kitchens, but as she continually was met with the patriarchy and white supremacy of the industry, she found a new mission: to document the story of the Commis Chef, the underdog of the industry. This is one of her stories from her time abroad. — Ed.
She needed to explore international kitchens again, seek out recipes and document her life as a brown, female chef in a white, male-dominated industry. She was ready.
It's important to have a working knowledge of the recipe of your guilty dreams. Her experience as a commis chef took care of all and any initial research needed for a novice in the field. When it came to both the profession and the drink itself, she knew what the traditional formula tasted like, but now she needed to have her way with the recipe.
It went down in Marseille, France. While she was traveling, a West African restaurant called Ivoire caught her eye. She went there with a hidden agenda that had nothing to do with bissap. Truthfully, she was so hyper focused on wooing the chef into granting her a stage — a tryout in a kitchen that can lead to an internship or job — that she had actually forgotten about her beloved bissap crush.
She spent the day with the chef doing what most chefs love to do: going to the market. They stopped at every stand, whether open-air stall or small broken-down hole-in-the-wall, sourcing ingredients for the evening's service. They dragged bags and bags of cassava, tomatoes, onions and habaneros up the town's steep hills. When she raised her head, she would see six-story buildings lined up side-by-side with shutters on the windows and fresh laundry decorating the walls like holiday garland.
The whole experience was beautiful and educational, albeit tiresome. She tried unsuccessfully to hide her fatigue by wiping away the sweat beads that formed on her upper lip and forehead. It was wildly hot, yet she forged ahead. Thoughts of exaggerated amounts of water and scrumptious food took top billing in her mind, but she had to stay focused.
Looking like she had just wrapped up a two-hour dance class, she sat down to conduct a formal interview with the chef, who spoke zero English and had a strong African accent, making it very difficult to comprehend. She wasn't fazed, but it felt as if she was playing a game of jumbled Scrabble in her head.
The time came for her to ask for a stage in the kitchen. She was hesitant and a bit shy about it, but managed to firmly make the request. The chef swiftly replied with a simple "no." She explained that her recettes were secret, and only her protege could have access to them. Then the chef excused herself from the table.
And then the unthinkable happened. As she sat alone in the restaurant's dining room, looking blankly through the window with a small sense of accomplishment, a consolation prize appeared in front of her: a platter of plantains with the chef's special tomato and onion salad dressed on top and a glass of chilled bissap.
Instantly, an almost-imperceptible smile bloomed into an enormous cheese from ear to ear. She tried to keep her composure, but that stupid, happy look on her face was inevitable. Here she was — a grown, mature, accomplished woman — doing the happy dance in her seat with each sip of cold and tasty bissap.
In that moment, the light caught the bissap at a precise angle, elevating and celebrating the degree of coldness, illustrated by a layer of perspiration and froth on the top. It was burning up in Marseille, in a major way. That refreshing glass of bissap was like drinking her childhood — all of the amazingly awesome parts. She savored it, sipped slowly, concentrating on each swallow with the highest of vigilance.
Her chef mind was working: This recipe was the known standard, delivering all of the nostalgia and comfort. The bissap came along to solve all of her problems in life, made everything just feel better. She didn't need to be granted a stage to find her purpose here. It had become clear that the entire day's ordeal was intended for this very outcome.
So it was on: She was going to make her own version. She wanted the bissap to reflect Marseille: complex and full. She couldn't use sugar because there was no depth there. Honey, local honey, was her sweetener of choice. Ginger lent all of the spice she would require. To give the bissap a little body, she added pureed mango, made by hand and sent through a sieve, as she didn't have a Vitamix in her Marseille apartment. Lastly, to set it all off and give it that addictive quality she needed acid like lemon or lime.
She was familiar with the process of making bissap, but never fully understood exactly how much dried hibiscus flowers were needed. Back in Oakland, she would always be frustrated because she couldn't find the flowers in bulk for a good price, but being in a country where they were in abundance, she had the luxury of experimenting. She found that it took a copious amount of flowers steeped in hot ginger water to render the deep, quintessential red color. Then came the crucial last step of chilling the bissap, almost as if the bissap had to undergo a metamorphosis of sorts with flavors marrying and forming the tightest of bonds.
Now the hard part: She had to muster the courage to share this interpretation of bissap with the chef who had so graciously shared hers. She was nervous and confident, simultaneously. With the oppressive heat, the trick was delivering a cold drink to the chef's restaurant. Easy fix, as a little frost-kissed bissap can be almost like a granita or slushy, if you will.
She arrived at Ivoire, where she was greeted with a warm welcome, while thoughts swirled in her head. OK, she has to like it. I hope she likes it.
"This is for you," she stated with all kinds of anxiety in her stomach, in her face. "I wanted to say thank you, un cadeau."
The chef kindly accepted and took a sip, which was followed by a very quick yet deep eye gaze that felt like she was looking into her inner soul. There was a lull. What is she thinking? Does she like it?
Then the chef spoke: "Come by tomorrow and I can introduce you to some of the other chefs in town. They will all want to meet you."

The JagTag-JS Docs¶
Welcome to the documentation for JagTag-JS! On this site you can find information about JagTag-JS, aimed to give both end users and developers comprehensive information about the language, the library and the implementation of JagTag.
If you wish to cut to the chase, select the Developers or Users section from the menu on the left.
Otherwise, feel free to keep on reading!
JagTag (And by the same token JagTag-JS) can be used to provide a way for end users of your application to create content that can be changed at runtime with simple but powerful tags.
When the parser is installed server-side, users can include tags that follow the {name:args} format in their input. At runtime, when user input is passed through the parser, these tags get replaced with their computed values. This means that the input becomes far more dynamic and customisable.
What is JagTag?¶
JagTag is a text parsing language and specification, created and administered by John Grosh (@jagrosh). In his own words, JagTag is a "simple, yet powerful and customisable interpreted text parsing language". The notation was originally created for use in the Discord bot Spectra by the same author.
What is JagTag-JS?¶
JagTag-JS is a JavaScript implementation of the JagTag notation. On the surface, the interface works in broadly similar ways to that of the original and most of the syntax is one-to-one compatible.
However, under the hood, the two implementations work in distinctly different ways. This is mostly due to language-level limitations but also from a desire to create readable and reusable code. This does introduce some additional considerations for developers, which are explained in laborious detail in the developer docs.

The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) has transformed the lives of nearly 800,000 of young immigrants since it was introduced by President Obama in 2012. It offered safety from deportation, a work permit, and a chance to get a driver's license, buy a home, and make a life in the U.S.
In Massachusetts, about 19,000 people were eligible, and another 4,000 could qualify in the future.
But DACA never protected everyone who needed it; it only covered childhood arrivals prior to June 2007, and it required enormous trust in the goodwill of the U.S. government.
In September 2017, President Trump announced he would end DACA within six months. He called on Congress to find a long-term solution for Dreamers, but multiple efforts to reach agreement failed.
The clock is ticking
Due to injunctions granted in pending lawsuits, since late January 2018, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has continued to accept DACA renewal applications. However, the Trump administration had asked the U.S. Supreme Court to step in and decide the fate of DACA once and for all. We expect a decision by June 2020 (see possible scenarios and advocacy needs).
It is more urgent than ever for Congress to step up and protect DACA recipients and all Dreamers, including more recent arrivals. The U.S. House of Representatives passed the Dream and Promise Act in June 2019, but the bill and a separate DREAM Act are both stalled in the Senate.
MIRA stands firmly with Dreamers in their push for recognition as full-fledged Americans, and we are committed to supporting DACA recipients to ensure they keep their protections active.
In the meantime, we strongly encourage DACA recipients to renew their status, especially if it is due to expire in 2020. Individual circumstances vary, but in our judgment, in most cases, the benefits of DACA outweigh any risks from renewing.
Fear and other factors had led DACA enrollment to fall in Massachusetts even before September 2017, to about 5,900. Nationwide, the vast majority of DACA recipients have kept renewing, but the total number of active DACA holders has dropped, from a post-injunction peak of 704,000 in July 2018 to 687,000 as of December 2018. Nearly 5,000 Dreamers with pending renewals have seen their DACA expire, leaving them exposed.

magic squares
3 items are filed under this topic.
I didn't know where to start on this, but, after trying all sorts of ideas, we discovered that the centre number in a 3-order 'magic square' was 5, i.e. (1+9)/2, and that 4 was 'one less'. Since the centre number in a 5-order 'magic square' was 13 and that 12 was 'one less' he reckoned that he should test whether a 7-order square would also generate a right-angled triangle for him. He found that 7-24-25, arrived at by the above process, also worked! He tried a few more at random, and they all worked. He then asked me two questions I can't begin to answer ...
"Use the numbers 1-9 to fill in the boxes so that you get the same sum when you add vertically, horizontally or diagonally."
The boxes are formed like a tic-tac-toe -- with 9 boxes -- 3 rows and 3 columns.
Can you help?

text: Are your eyes red, watery, and itchy? Do you have difficulty wearing your contact lenses? If you answered yes, then you may have eye allergies. The most frequent triggers of eye allergies are pollen, pet hair, pet dander, and dust. Smoke and perfumes are eye irritants and can exacerbate allergies but are not triggers of allergies. If you have eye allergies, the most effective treatment is prevention. Avoid what triggers your symptoms. Unfortunately, prevention is not always possible when the trigger is airborne like pollen. During your eye exam, Dr. Schneider will assess your eyes for allergies, accurately diagnose your condition and prescribe a proper course of action. Topical eye drops, nasal sprays, and oral medications are all therapies for eye allergies that you may need.

As a Persian cat breeder, we routinely have to make decisions about our cats. Whether it is to breed a cat or not, finding the right cat and pedigree to add something we lack in our breeding program, and a hundred other decisions that we make on a day-to-day basis. Recently, this point was more personal.
Last year, one of my girls, MayMay, started cycling, and I had trouble keeping weight on her, so I retired her from showing in hopes of breeding her. I looked for the "perfect" mate for her and found a beautiful cream male named Maxx who is owned by a friend. We anxiously awaited MayMay's next heat cycle ... and, .... waited, and,.... waited. Three months went by, and MayMay had not cycled again (cats usually cycle every month). Scratching my head in confusion, I decided to let MayMay live with Maxx in the hopes he would bring her back into heat. Two months went by and nothing. I left MayMay out to run the house and figured she would cycle when she was ready.
December arrives and MayMay finally comes into heat, so I put her with Maxx and crossed my fingers. A few weeks later I weighed MayMay, and she had picked up a little weight which I hoped was a sign she was pregnant. A few days later I weighed her again, and she had gained a bit more weight. I thought "she is pregnant." Then all of a sudden she stopped gaining weight and started to act like she was in heat again. So, I put her with Maxx again.
The weekend of January 21, 2017, I was at a cat show with Rosie and when I got home on Monday John mentioned that MayMay had vomited a couple of times. I went to check out MayMay, and she seemed "off," just not acting like herself, but nothing I could put my finger on. On Tuesday afternoon, I saw that MayMay was off by herself and picked her up to thoroughly check her out. I smelled a putrid odor and quickly examined her and found that she had a vaginal discharge which was the source of the smell. MayMay had pyometra. Pyometra is an accumulation of pus within the uterus, which can develop because of the hormonal, anatomical, and physiological changes that occur after a cat has gone through a heat cycle but does not become pregnant. Bacteria then take advantage of the situation, resulting in a potentially fatal infection.
Since it was too late to get her to the vet Tuesday evening, I called first thing Wednesday morning and got her in. I was then faced with the difficult decision of trying to clear up the infection with antibiotics or spay her and then put her on antibiotics. Due to her history of weird heat cycles and possible pregnancy (which she may have been in the process of aborting), I had to do what was in MayMay's best interest which was to spay her. I cried all the way home from the vet's office after leaving her there.
About an hour later, my veterinarian called to say that evidently MayMay did get pregnant in December and there were three fetuses. However, MayMay was in the process of aborting them, and she had a severe infection. I asked the vet "did I make the correct decision?" I was told that it would have been very problematic with her aborting the fetuses and trying to treat her with antibiotics which would not have been effective because of losing the kittens. In other words, I would have been putting MayMay's life at risk by allowing her to continue as she was with just antibiotics. As I write this article, I am both relieved and heartsick. I am relieved because we caught this infection early and MayMay will be healthy again. I am heartsick because of the loss of the kittens and the fact that I will never see any MayMay kittens.
Decisions like this come hand-in-hand with being a cat breeder, and I always wonder if I am making the right decision for my cats. I feel that I made the right decision, but it was not an easy one to make and it will stay with me for quite some time.
Update - 2018
MayMay now resides in her forever home in New York state. A kitten buyer from a while ago contacted me about MayMay as he felt his parents would love her to bits. MayMay settled right in at her new home.

The present set up is designed to conduct the separation test. It consists of a flat table which is inclined at an angle of about 3° to the horizontal. Running approximately parallel to the toped is a series of slats, or riffles as they are turned, about 6mmin height. The material to be separated is fed on tone of the top corners and a reciprocating motion consisting of a forward direction and return stroke, causes it to move across the table.The particles also tend to move down ward sunder the combined action of gravity and of a stream of the water which is introduced along the top edge, but are opposed by the riffles behind which the smaller particles as the cleaner material tend to be held. Thus, the large particles and the less dense material are carried downwards, and the remainder is carried parallel to the riffles

A DUNFERMLINE man seen carrying a knife in Tesco told police he had found it in a playpark – and hadn't handed it in for fear of being nabbed for having it.
Dunfermline Sheriff Court heard on Wednesday that Nicholas John William Jones, 31, was spotted with the knife around 8pm at Tesco Duloch Park.
Fiscal depute Azrah Yousaf said two members of staff had seen Jones "acting suspiciously". On approaching him, they saw the three-inch knife, then contacted police.
Officers came across Jones around 30 minutes later and saw him holding "what looked like a knife" in his hand and told him to drop it, which he did.
Jones, of 358 Linburn Road, admitted to charges that on July 23, 2014, at Tesco Duloch Park, and at Curlew Gardens, he had a lock knife without reasonable excuse or lawful authority. He committed the offences while on three bail orders.
Solicitor James Moncrieff said Jones had found the knife near a playpark, adding: "He had taken it into his possession and did not have it disposed of.
"He then saw police officers and did not hand it over to them for fear of being in possession.
"He came to the attention of shop staff because they had been suspicious he had been shoplifting.
"He has managed to stay free of drugs for some time and has managed to get his life sorted out.
"He says he's made a lot of bad choices. He has been monitored for a significant period of time and has dealt with his issues."
Sheriff Christopher Shead warned Jones, "You are to be commended for complying with orders of the court and for making progress but the fact remains that these are serious matters and the court will often feel the need to impose a custodial sentence."
He imposed a community payback order of 50 hours' unpaid work to be completed in six months.

My long standing relationship with Lensbaby as a fan, and friend has rewarded me again with the ability to use and review the Burnside 35mm f/2.8 dual aperture lens. I was asked to play around with the new Burnside 35, but as is always the case here, all my opinions are purely that. Mine. I don't get paid (unfortunately) to do this, nor was it required that I write up a fluff piece, so while I do have a soft spot for the local, independent Portland based company, I'm also in no way contractually required to like their stuff. As you'll read, I don't hold back criticism where I see fit. Lensbaby tends to get the online readers divided based on perception that cameras and lenses need to test off the charts in all ways, and anything that isn't trying to accomplish that should be burned at the stake. If that's what you're after, feel free to argue scientific test charts somewhere else, also, I feel a little sorry that the joy of photography has seemingly evaporated in your life, assuming it was ever there to begin with. I'm not saying you need to like the weird, wild and quirky, but you certainly don't need to piss in the cereal of those who enjoy creating different effects in camera. The true beauty of free will is just that. We all get to decide what we like, and I often like in camera effects. …okay, are all the curmudgeony troll pessimist chart nazis grumpy enough to have clicked away? Good.

*Lensbaby Trio28, embrace the weird, wild and wonderful world of imperfect. w/@seeinanewway
In an industry that provides me with my very favorite of hobbies, the idea of perceived perfection in performance is often the benchmark. To this end, I too am guilty in that I often look for and test to make sure I have the best optics for whichever sensor I happen to have invested in. Often times, when we as photographers focus on measurable optical metrics, we can lose sight of the artistic, creative outlet that visual art such as photography can provide us. As the old adage goes as far as skill and creativity are concerned, sharpness is overrated.
I like to explore photography from a very large spectrum of angles, and find I enjoy myself most when I change my vantage from time to time. I don't feel photography is one thing, and certainly feel for me that if it only provided me with one type of result, I'd not be nearly as happy. I like variety, I like difference, I like weird. For those who've been around for a while, you'll probably remember articles I've written about Lensbaby products, and how the company resides just down the road from me. Back when this was a fledgling little blog, they offered me many opportunities to beta test new optics, and provide fodder for those looking for adaptable optics for their (at the time, young, new) mirrorless system cameras.
Say hello to the Lensbaby Trio 28mm f/3.5 lens. Three unique Lensbaby optics, built into a single lens for mirrorless systems, and I've been loving it. C'mon in for some examples and comparisons…
*Lensbaby's new #GoPro Lens is available through Kickstarter now! w/ @SeeInANewWay
GoPro users rejoice! Lensbaby has just launched a campaign to release their brand new 180+ degree circular fisheye lens for GoPro action cameras. It looks like it will be a great lens for GoPro system users who may want that wider angle that a circular fisheye produces for underwater video, general tomfoolery or to produce some cool, surreal drone footage. Jump on the train to be one of the first pledgers to get it for only $69.
See the release from Lensbaby below:
GoPro® cameras are amazing. The fixed lens however can be limiting. Lensbaby's new Circular 180+ lens, packed with 185 degrees of AWESOME, will make you want to pull that GoPro® out and see your adventures like you've never seen before.
Lensbaby's Circular 180+ lens creates fully circle fisheye videos and images with huge depth of field letting you capture the soul of your adventures with a fully immersive field of view. Attaching to the current waterproof housing on GoPro® Hero cameras, the Circular 180+ captures a 185 degree window on the world, wider than the human eye can see with unprecedented depth of field – subjects nearly touching the front of the lens are sharp along with everything else in the image.
With its 185 degree field of view, intense depth, tack sharp edge-to-edge focus plus its small, rugged design this lens will go anywhere you want to go. Back in now on Kickstarter to get your lens in time for summer shooting: http://lensba.by/kickstarter_circular180
I have no stake to claim here, no money on the table, no skin in the game. Just wanting to spread the Lensbaby gospel because I like the company and the folks that work there. They're awesome. Click the link above to see sample footage and hear from Craig, the co-founder of Lensbaby as he explains what led to them developing this lens.
Happy shooting,
@Lensbaby Twist 60, rebirth of a classic, quirky, beautiful optic w/@SeeInANewWay
Lensbaby's optical engineers have done it again. After moving away from the toy camera replication type lenses into more complicatedly designed optics with lenses like the Sweet 35 and 50, Edge 50 and 80 and the Velvet 56, they've replicated the swirly vortex of the old Joseph Petzval designed optic from 174 years ago with this new Twist 60. Don't dismiss this lens as pure kitsch, as it is remarkably sharp where you'd want it for a portrait lens (middle frame) and while, wide open you'll see some pretty severe vignetting to go along with the twirly bokeh, this adds to its charm and vintage qualities. Portrait painters of yesteryear used many different brushes to create their renditions, and this can certainly be seen as a wonderfully specialized brush for the portrait photographer, along with those looking to add some fun to shots of any kind.
While perhaps not an effect to suit everyone's taste, it is one that has found a place for certain portrait and fine art photographers looking to add in camera effects to visibly differentiate their look. With other companies seeing the value in chasing this corner of the market with lenses like the Kickstarter Petzval clone and the Trioplan Soap bokeh lenses that are looking to be launched on the market, it's obvious that there is some demand for these newer versions of throwback optical designs. The question though, is how much are photographers looking for these optical effects willing to pay?
Priced at a very modest $280 for the Twist 60 Lens (optic and non-tilting metal lens body housing) available in Canon EF, Nikon F and Sony E mount, or $180 for the optic solely, the Twist 60 is certainly worth a look. You can find it at Adorama HERE, B&H HERE or directly through Lensbaby HERE.
C'mon in for more example shots, some technical mumbo jumbo and my thoughts on this lens…
*Lensbaby Velvet 56 for Micro 4/3 Review! w/ @SeeInANewWay
There has been a lot of buzz surrounding the newest lens in the Lensbaby family. The Velvet 56 offers a bit of a departure from what Lensbaby has been known by in that it has forgone the ability to selectively manipulate the plane of focus into a point or tangential plane, with most lenses offering the ability to be swapped into or out of one of their lens housing bodies like the Composer Pro, or Scout.
The new Velvet 56 is a solidly built, fixed focal length 56mm f/1.6 prime lens that has a different trick up its sleeve. In days of yore, many portrait photographers used lenses that would intentionally soften contrast and the overall image, aptly called "soft focus" lenses.
Enter the Velvet 56, and as its name suggests, it is as smooth as Barry White by candlelight. C'mon in for some sample shots and my thoughts…
*Lensbaby Announces the Popular Velvet 56 in various Mirrorless Mounts along with new lenses for the Fuji X mount!
Now, I've yet to get my mitts on a Velvet 56 of my own, but I plan to, and I'll review the crap out of it when I do 🙂 In the mean time, check out the announcement by Lensbaby today:
Lensbaby Announces Availability of Fuji X Mounts for Flagship Lenses
Company also adds popular mirrorless mounts for hugely successful Velvet 56 portrait lens
