This is Highly Recommend, a column dedicated to our very opinionated editors' favorite things to eat, drink, and buy.
Most visitors to artist Olafur Eliasson's blockbuster retrospective at the Tate Modern in London are there for, well, the art. I too bought tickets weeks ahead of my trip to witness the experiential installations by an artist who famously dragged 12 icebergs from Greenland to Paris as a statement about climate change. While there, I waded through a room thick with fog that rendered me color-blind and a kaleidoscope-like tunnel that seemed to compress and contour the space around me. At the very end of the show, however, I noticed a sign pointing to what turned out to be my favorite moment in the whole exhibition: lunch.
Downstairs, at the Tate Modern's terrace bar, was a five-course tasting menu featuring funky local cider, rich and salty focaccia, a cumin-forward hummus, and more. Jon Atashroo, the head chef at Tate Modern, spent a week at Studio Olafur Eliasson (SOE) Kitchen in Berlin to develop a menu in response to Eliasson's research. (It's available until the exhibition closes on January 5, 2020.)
The dishes highlight organic and sustainably sourced vegetables and fermented and cured ingredients, which theoretically help reduce reliance on shipping and minimize the lunch's CO2 emissions. Butter, for example, is replaced by homemade labneh, and local rapeseed oil is used in place of imported olive oil. Each dish is annotated with its carbon footprint. A velvety carrot soup topped with a preserved-lemon-and-almond crunch: 257 g CO2e. A smoky, sweet red pepper dip: 45 g CO2e. A courgette (a.k.a. zucchini) salad with sour grapefruit, mint leaves, and nuts: 38 g CO2e. The dishes were sustainable, and yet still indulgent, bright and unexpected—not unlike some of the artist's installations themselves.
Talking about climate change can be bleak and, at its worse, preachy. But at the Tate Modern, that conversation is neither of those things. Instead, it's delicious.

Table of Contents
Digestive enzymes are the enzymes that break down polymeric macromolecules into smaller building blocks to facilitate their absorption by the body.
Our digestive system does not absorb the food we eat, it absorbs nutrients in the form of simpler molecules. Food needs to be broken down from products like steak and broccoli into amino acids (from proteins), fatty acids and cholesterol (from fats), and sugars (from carbohydrates) along with vitamins, minerals, and a variety of animal and plant compounds.
If we don't have sufficient digestive enzymes, our food cannot be broken down. That means that even if we eat well, we aren't absorbing good nutrition.
Digestive enzymes convert the food into smaller molecules that your tissues, cells, and organs utilize for many metabolic functions. It takes some time to complete this process and results in amino acids, glycerol, fatty acids and simple sugars. When you chew and break food into small pieces, special enzymes produced in different parts of your digestive region start acting to complete the process.
Amylase is defined as a digestive enzyme that breaks starch into small carbohydrate molecules. This enzyme is produced in two areas. Firstly, salivary glands in our mouth generate salivary amylase that starts the process of digestion by breaking down starch and converting it into maltose and smaller carbohydrate. Cells in the pancreas also produce a different type of amylase, known as pancreatic amylase that travels via a duct to reach the small intestine. Pancreatic amylase finishes the digestion of carbohydrates, producing glucose.
This enzyme breaks down protein into amino acids, which are its building blocks. The three main protease enzymes are trypsin, pepsin, and chymotrypsin. Special cells produce an enzyme, called pepsinogen in your stomach that converts into pepsin when it comes in contact with the acid surrounding the stomach. Pepsin breaks some chemical bonds in the protein, creating smaller molecules known as peptides. The pancreas makes chymotrypsin and trypsin, enzymes that are liberated into the small intestine through the pancreatic duct.
Lipase enzyme breaks down dietary fats into smaller molecules known as glycerol and fatty acids. A little quantity of lipase, known as gastric lipase is produced by the cells of the stomach. This enzyme mainly digests fat present in the food. The pancreas is the primary source of lipase in the digestive tract, which produces pancreatic lipase which acts in the small intestine. The bile produced in the liver and liberated in the intestine transforms dietary fat into small fat globules. Pancreatic lipase acts on these fat globules and converts them into glycerol and fatty acids which are small, energy molecules. Glycerol and fatty acids move in the blood and lymph vessels to move in every part of the body.
Although amylase, lipase, and protease are the major enzymes that your body utilizes to digest food, there are many other specialized enzymes also contributing to the process.

Until recently, the words "iOS file transfer" were crazier than "fast dial-up" or "cutting-edge flip phone." AirDrop, a Mac OS feature set to arrive on iPhones and iPads with the release of iOS 7, will finally bring some validity to the nonsensical term by "leveraging the core strengths of Apple's unified ecosystem," as one ReadWrite blogger puts it. But the question remains, can Apple make AirDrop as easy to use in the mobile space?
File transfers with an Apple twist
Mac users have enjoyed sharing files between their laptops and desktops since AirDrop made its debut in OS X 10.7. Now, thanks to iOS 7, Apple owners will be able to do the same with the fourth generation iPad, iPhone 5, iPad mini and any iDevices released from here on out.
Early previews of AirDrop reveal the feature works a lot like its OS X counterpart. The mobile version maintains the clean, attractive interface, while ditching the irritating configuration steps that make file transfer a pain in the thumbs on competing products. This YouTube video from iDeviceMovies illustrates just how easy it is to send a photo, website and App Store listing in quick succession.
The sharing doesn't stop with files
In addition to AirDrop, iOS 7 allows developers to experiment with peer-to-peer connectivity. This opens up many possibilities, including high-end multiplayer gaming in the same room over an ad hoc network or two music apps on separate iPads exchanging audio in real-time.
One iOS architect, Conrad Stoll, is excited about the possibilities of this new programming framework. "Peer-to-peer connectivity is a really powerful capability that developers will have to find creative uses for. It definitely unlocks a whole range of apps that would've been much more difficult to build before."
Where AirDrop drops the ball
As great as AirDrop will be for everybody with a portable Apple device, the feature isn't without its limitations. Cross-platform support is obviously a no-go, meaning you'll have to rely on your email app to send your Android and Windows buddies a file. The same goes for desktop-to-device compatibility within the Apple product line, but that shouldn't discourage mobile users too much.
Stoll believes AirDrop has the potential to be more useful on mobile platforms than PCs. "In Mac OS, you have to go to a specific UI and drag something onto a person's icon. On iOS it's a bit more natural, where it's just another option on the Share sheet when another compatible device is in range."
Expressing a contrary viewpoint, iOS architect Kevin Harwood believes the AirDrop system leaves something to be desired. He notes that developers will have to give users the option to use AirDrop from the Share menu, rather than integrating it within their apps.
Given this disparity of opinion, it's hard to say exactly how users and developers will take to AirDrop until the iOS 7 update hits devices. No matter what, AirDrop has to be better than Apple's current mobile file-sharing program (a.k.a nothing).

I seriously wonder what people are thinking when they try and sell things. Today, thumbing through Craigslist ads – i come across an ad for a 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited – touted as a fully loaded model, but its not a Rubicon, or a Sahara, but the base sport model. Then I continue to read the ad and see this "fully loaded 2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Automatic, 4×4, 3.73 rear gears! It has a 3.5″ lift by Rubicon Express, 2″ body lift to maintain factory warranty, aftermarket Hellwig front and rear swaybars, MT Biter rims, 37″ Cooper ST Maxx tires " Really? A body lift will maintain the factory warranty? Running 37s? That's all it takes? And he has the 37″ wheel/tire combo mounted on the stock carrier. I hope that people do their due diligence when out shopping for a vehicle and don't fall for this type of stuff.
Beware of know-it-alls selling vehicles…..

I thought this statue of Bruce Lee had already been placed into storage until Los Angeles Chinatown Corporation and the Bruce Lee Foundation could raise the funds to install a proper base for it to be displayed permanently. According to a report by LA Weekly, the statue has remained in place, surrounded by a small barricade and a few traffic cones.
According to the report, While the sponsors have yet to raise enough money for the planned permanent installation, that might happen soon. As most fans know, 2015 marks the 75th anniversary of Bruce Lee's birth, the foundation's goal is to complete the project by year's end. In the meantime, the bronze Bruce Lee has become a mecca of sorts, and with Chinese New Year coming up, the new landmark will draw even more admirers.
This year also marks the 50th anniversary of Brandon Lee's birth, so it truly is a special year for the Lee family. Below the video, I've posted a special email that Bruce and Linda Lee's daughter Shannon, recently sent out to fans around the world.
I'm writing to let everyone know that this year is my father's 75th birthday anniversary as well as my brother Brandon's 50th birthday anniversary and my family LOVES to celebrate their birthdays! And so this year, because it's so special, we are going to be celebrating up a storm!
From February 1 of this year (Brandon's birthday) to November 27th (my father's birthday), we will be engaging in a whole host of activities!
Among the festivities will be…
- 75 special posts on social media consisting of videos, interviews, quotes, and images
- Special Limited Edition Anniversary items available in the Official Store throughout the year
- Monthly sweepstakes to win 1 of 75 Bruce/Brandon Fine Art Prints
- The launch of the official Brandon Lee Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages
- And lastly, we will be reaching out to our community to ask you to share your thoughts and comments with us as well!
This year we are all excited about not only celebrating my family's birthdays but also celebrating all of YOU for your continued support of the legacies of my father and brother. May 2015 be a fortuitous year for everyone! And thank you for celebrating with us!

With the nice bit of rain that fell in mid January came flies. Many, many flies… so many that the buzz from the sheep shelter can be heard from the humpy. So a project that has been sitting on the bottom of the list, suddenly came to the top; an enclosed dish drainer for the washing up.
Living with nature (in all her adorable, but messy incarnations) requires us to make a few adjustments to the way things are done; we let go of socially held expectations somewhat; like having clean floors at any point, like being the only being on the bed at night and like using harsh chemicals to clean anything. One problem with having animals (other than humans) in the humpy and not being able to seal all the holes in walls, is that we have many flies in the humpy in Summer. The washing up (which I habitually air dry) is then sitting out in the open for the day and flies crawl all over it (not ideal). There is a clearly identified problem here that has a neat solution.
For years, I have wanted to install a Finnish Dish Draining cabinet, and this fly invasion (which is more extreme than other years) is the push we needed to do it. As usual, we had to do things the hard way; instead of buying the chipboard and wire modular units available, we decided to go with a steel cabinet (to match the new kitchen and to make sure it lasts) and replace the shelves with the drying racks.
We bought a cheap steel cabinet in powder coated steel (black, of course) and some dish draining racks, roughly the same length. My fairly handy partner put it all together one morning while I was doing the washing.
He screwed some structural ply over the wall frame behind the sink and screwed the cupboard onto that.
Next, he scratched his head for a while about how to fit the dish drainers in. Until finally he came up with the idea of fixing a thick piece of wood on the inside of the cabinet to provide an anchor for the drainer. The dish drainer units were about 5cm shorter than the width mof the cabinet.
Then he put the doors on for me and we were set to go.
As an added bonus… my in-the-good-books partner also screwed the peg board onto the wall.
I think this really adds to the usability of the kitchen.
The drying cupboard is used to store the equipment we use on a daily basis; coffee cups, plates, bowls, baking trays, etc. Only a few of each and only what we use daily. That way, the majority of the washing up goes straight into the cupboard and is protected from flies. It also frees up the other cupboard shelves for more storage. Our cupboard doesn't have an open bottom (flies and lizards) instead it has a tray in the bottom to catch drips. This tray is emptied daily. There is enough air flow to dry the washing up and not enough space for critters to enter.
I love it!! What do you think?

China Netcom offers hi-tech Olympic eight first time innovations in digital communications
China Netcom has developed eight innovations in digital communications used for the first time at the hi-tech Olympics. An ASON-based intelligent optical transmission network is in use for the first time to improve the quality and security of the video transmission and special services for the Games. For the first time light-compression high-definition (HD) video transmission technology has been used. Netcom is employing long-distance non-compressed methods to deliver original HD TV signal without any loss globally. The result is TV viewers can watch events almost as instantaneously as visitors on the spot, solving the problem of delay in TV transmission.
As well, IPv6-based video monitoring will be used for the first time to offer real-time viewing 24 hours a day, seven days a week end-to-end at Olympic venues and the Olympic Command Center.As well, the media at Olympics venues will for the first time is offered broadband access and high-speed Internet services using an IC card with no limit on flow. It is also first time VLAN-based multimedia real-time transmission services will be used.
For the first time a multi-language call center will be offered in which the user can dial the call center to get emergency assistance and be automatically identified by ID, language and location. Users can receive support in their native language or English on first contact. The first technical code for Olympics communication security services has also been developed by Netcom. Netcom also developed the first Olympic symbol review system and communication command information system for the Games.

When God created His perfect world, His plan was to lavish mankind with blessings beyond imagining and enjoy fellowship with His creation. After the chasm between God and man formed, there were only flashes of connections between men and God (Enoch, Noah, etc.).
As is His nature, God responded to those relationships with blessings. But it was when Abraham came on the scene that God decided He had found a man through whom He could bless others. "Through you all the families of the earth will be blessed." (Genesis 12:3)
Ever since then, the children of Abraham's grandson (later renamed "Israel" by God) became the nation through whom God chose to channel blessings to the world. At no time, however, have those blessings been as numerous as when Israel is in her own land.
In honor of Israel's 70 years of existence in the modern world, we present seven areas in which Israel has impacted your world.
My mother-in-law, who has a strong prophetic gift, once told me she had recently prayed for a sick man. She gave him an unusual word about his illness, "I feel God will provide healing for your sickness through Israel." Sure enough, a week later, it was announced on the news that an Israeli company had had a medical breakthrough for this man's very condition.
It may rarely become international news, but in Israel it seems almost weekly we hear about a new invention from an Israeli company being welcomed into the medical world. From a laser that can shatter kidney stones without surgery, to a wearable exoskeleton that allows the paralyzed to walk again, to bones that can be grown from a patient's fat cells, the accomplishments are both lifesaving and jaw-dropping. Israeli ingenuity has been proven in fighting everything from the common cold to cancer.
For years babies have benefited from the close care of the non-radiation cordless baby sensor that monitors their movement and breathing. And, just this week the Israeli news showcased a handheld ultrasound machine that nervous mothers-to-be can use with their smartphones at home.
Life-saving products such as WoundClot bandages help compress and clot large wounds, allowing more time to get the patient to a hospital. And with the recent accolades Hadassah Hospital in Jerusalem has received for its da Vinci Robot—which is so precise it can perform brain and spinal surgery with minimally invasive procedures—it is evident that science fiction is just where our scientists go to get ideas for their next invention.
With awareness of autism rising, one of Israel's neatest new inventions is a non-invasive sensor that can test newborns for autism. As some know, autism is managed best the earlier it is discovered, but sadly, it is usually not diagnosed until the child is several years old. This new testing ability will not only give the child a better shot at thriving, but it also allows the medical field to learn more about early stages of the condition.

While Israel may be known for her tech companies, one of her lesser-known qualities is her heart for the less fortunate. Israelis are often the first ones on scene when a natural disaster strikes around the world. But even without an emergency, you'll find them in various third world countries using their creativity and training local citizens so they can break out of their devastating environments.
When it comes to helping people, providing edible food and clean water are at the top of the list. To protect food resources, Israelis created GrainPro bags that resist destructive forces such as mildew and insects.
To conserve water, Israel's drip system, invented in 1965 and now used globally, consumes a fraction of the water that traditional watering methods use.
Our population has doubled in the past 20 years. And since much of Israel is desert with the Sea of Galilee as our only large water source, necessity has pushed Israel to pursue a variety of solutions. Today, most of Israel's water supply is drawn from the Mediterranean Sea, desalinized and offered on our dinner tables.
While the water processing plants in Israel are massive and complex, Israel has a mobile version that can be used to purify water from the filthiest swamps with a hand pump.
And, if you are nowhere near any kind of water source or electricity, Israel has created an appliance that can quite literally pull water out of thin air.
Teams of Israeli experts are working in third world countries like South Sudan, one of the most dangerous countries in the world, where they built an entire model farming village to train the locals in the ways of Israeli agriculture. Israel has provided humanitarian aid to over 140 countries!
Israeli doctors are also recognized around the world for their willingness to treat patients from enemy countries. Syrians caught in their bloody civil war continually bring their wounded clandestinely over the border to Israel where several thousand Syrians have been given medical aid. Israel doesn't require information as to who they are or which rebel group they are from. Many have spent months in Israeli hospitals.
In the West Bank and Gaza, Palestinians shun the shame from their neighbors and bring their children to Israeli hospitals for treatment they cannot get from their own doctors. Also, Israel is the only nation that permanently accepts and treats victims of radiation from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986. Almost 3000 children have been resettled in Israel for ongoing treatment due to radiation.

While the term "western nation" has become more synonymous with a technologically advanced nation, a western nation is largely so because of the Christian—and by default, Jewish—influence on its social structure.
Classic examples of this culture are the Judeo-Christian values of caring for orphans, widows, and the poor in general. While other fundamentally godless social structures such as dictatorships or communism would choose to rid society of its weaker members, western nations (both on a governmental and individual level) give countless financial aid and man-hours feeding, clothing and giving medical care to the "least of these.
If you've ever researched "Jews in the Arts" you are probably aware of the many well-known actors/singers/painters who were, and are, Jewish. However, while the Jewish people have been blessed with creative genes, as with everything in Jewish history, I can't say we have always used our giftings to make the world more, shall we say, holy. But a deal is a deal, and God does not repossess his blessings. And so, Jews have, even in their lost state, left a mark on the world.
Ageless songs like, "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" were written by Jews, and the latter is rumored to have been written about Israel. Irving Berlin wrote scores of songs—so many of them incredibly famous—like "God Bless America" and yes, "White Christmas."
Then there is Bob Dylan, known to be a Messianic Jew, who won a Nobel Prize for his music and lyrics. In fact the list of musicians is a mile long: Judy Garland, Paul Simon, Barbra Streisand, Neil Diamond, George Gershwin and Leonard Bernstein for a start. From the smooth vocals of Lenny Kravitz, to the crass persona of the band Kiss, to the modern sounds of rapper Drake, the Jewish influence on music spans across every genre. The percentage of comedians and entertainers is way over the top compared to the total number of Jews in the world. Even in the complex world of filmmaking, tons of Jews have thrived in creating both entertaining and thought-provoking movies from "Indiana Jones" to "Schindler's List."
Research "Jews in the Arts" and you'll soon become aware of the many well-known actors/singers/painters who are Jewish.
Israel's most extensive list of accomplishments is likely in the field of hi-tech. There's a running joke among Israelis who scoff at the impossible mission anti-Israel activists take on when they commit to boycotting Israel—since many of today's common tech devices such as computers, cellphones and a good amount of the software that runs them were either invented by or are currently run by Israeli companies.
Even with a population of only 6.5 million Jews (and 1.7 million Arabs),where a large percentage of the Jewish community immigrated to the land and speak Hebrew as a second or third language, Israelis pop out more new tech inventions per capita than almost any other nation.
Among Israel's more popular inventions that have made it to your neighborhood are the thumb drive (USB key), the MobileEye camera on the back of your car and Waze, the world's largest community-based traffic and GPS navigation software. Our family has used it in China, Thailand, Europe and North and South America.
But hi-tech isn't just about the latest and greatest. Some Israeli inventions have been around long enough to be worthy of the Hi-tech Hall of Fame. The original text messaging ICQ software invented in the 90's was the brainchild of an Israeli.
The 70's yielded the 8088 chip that served as the core building block of the IBM personal computer. Even the transformation of the print machine into the modern office printer that sits on your desk is at your service thanks to the minds of Israelis.
Incidentally, out of 892 Nobel Prizes awarded, 201 or 22.5% were presented to Jews, a mere 0.2% of the world's population. How do you account for that?

Without a doubt, Israel is a nation with a great need for self-defense, and original and creative weaponry is high on the priority list. When my family and I sat in our sealed rooms during the Gulf War in 1991, Israel used America's Patriot missiles to defend against Saddam Hussein's barrage of Scud missiles. The Patriots were only partially effective and needed several minutes pre-alert to hit their target.
With Hamas rockets landing on Israeli soil in as few as 15 seconds from the moment of launch, new technology was needed. The Iron Dome's 90% success rate in taking down Hamas' rockets is one of the reasons Israelis and visitors can continue with their daily lives even in times of high tension with bordering enemy lands. In fact, the Iron Dome is now taking down mortar shells seconds after they are launched.
Israel's contribution to security is not just for war. If you've ever used a firewall to protect your emails or website, you can thank Israel. Their security companies, both online and in the real world are second to none. Israeli security firms like the world-famous Black Cube and Checkpoint (or at least world famous to those who require such services) are often contracted for large events and by dignitaries when traveling abroad.

However, despite their widely known success in the field of entertainment, perhaps nowhere have Jews had more influence on the world than in the realm of worship. True, today when you think of worship music, few think of Israel as the source of a groundbreaking worship experience. But, in fact, everything you know about worshipping the one true God, originated in Israel. The Psalms, written thousands of years ago before musical notations were invented, are still sung by Jews and Christians today. Even the variety in our worship songs—such as songs of prayer, repentance, adoration and even songs of unspeakable gratitude and joy are modeled after the ones written and recorded in the Bible—from Moses to Jeremiah.
While Messianic Jewish music today is widely considered merely a genre of music that invites circle dancing with long swirly skirts and banners, the truth is that Messianic music from today's state of Israel embodies an incredible variety of sounds from the many nations in which Jews have dwelt for the past two thousand years. From the complex rhythms of South America to the symphonic sounds of Eastern Europe to the fluid strings of the Middle East, Israeli worship embraces the sounds of many tribes and tongues.
When Job was in his deepest despair his heart declared, "The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, Blessed be the name of the Lord." This is where the Jewish heart of worship begins. No matter what has happened or will happen, the Lord is to be blessed. You will find this mentality over and over throughout Jewish culture. Jews don't bless the food they eat; they bless the Maker of food! And at a funeral, the traditional prayer doesn't mention the deceased at all—it only blesses the Maker of Life.
Israel has long been a resource for spiritual revelation for the Church. The existence of the Bible itself is a precious gift to man penned almost entirely by Jews. But as centuries of division between the Church and the Jewish people have separated Christians from their roots, some spiritual jewels God has given the Jewish people to share with the world lay yet untouched.
We who have accepted redemption through Yeshua have direct access to God. But even that access was foretold to the world by Jews. Some people may be offended to think that God would only send some blessings through a specific people group. But they are not offended when they are told that to enjoy the benefit of running water they must go to a faucet, and to enjoy the blessing of electricity they must search for the switch on the wall.
We all know that God's promises are eternal and His desire is for Abraham's descendants to be a blessing to all the families of the earth. What other blessings is the worldwide Church missing out on because as a whole, they have not recognized Israel in her calling?
The variety in our worship songs—such as songs of prayer, repentance, adoration and even songs of unspeakable gratitude and joy are modelled after the ones written and recorded in the Bible.
We love to partner with other Israeli ministries!
Because our organization has been here in the land for over 40 years, we have had the privilege of reaching out and working with many established ministries which were able to take leaps forward in developing their vision and mission with the financial help from our Maoz partners.
But Maoz also has many unique programs and projects of our own that fulfill the vision God has given to us as a pioneer Messianic Jewish ministry in Israel. Yes, we love to launch projects and programs that fill a particular need that few or even no one else is tackling. Through the years we have been able to initiate programs and continued with them until other Messianic ministries took up the banner, and went much farther than we could have by ourselves.
But until "all Israel is saved" God continually shows us areas of service yet to be developed that can help fulfill the Great Commission. This month we are featuring our outreach through humorous renditions of Torah portions, our worship program for talented children, our audio and video recordings, and finally, our book publishing—all in Hebrew.
Our goal is to reach the lost and disciple the believers. It's that simple! Here is one of our latest projects—called Shavua, Shavua (Week after Week). We have created 54 videos of 4-5 minutes each, filled with Hebrew-language humor, telling stories from a specific portion of the Five Books of Moses, traditionally read in synagogues each week.
Ari and Shira Sorko-Ram hold the cake exhibiting Pharaoh's daughter who raised Moses as we celebrated the completion of a series of 54 short videos featuring stories from the Torah (Five books of Moses).
Our office staff celebrating with the team from Silueta Production Company who, together with the Maoz media team, created the Hebrew comic version of the Torah's Weekly Portion.
In Jewish tradition, the Five Books of Moses are divided into weekly portions for every week of the year.
Maoz employed a professional comic writer, Tal Guines—himself a Messianic Jew—who wrote a wonderfully funny script for each week's 4-5 minute video. An animation company put all of Tal's ideas on whiteboard. A great success! All generations love it—particularly the young people! Some Messianic congregations are presenting it in their meetings each week. Omri, co-owner of Silueta Productions, gives us his impressions of meeting and working with Messianic Jews for the first time.
Omri Roth, co-owner of Silueta, a creative agency production company.
The first time Maoz came to us and said, "Let's make an animation series of all the Torah Portions," I thought this was a very ambitious project, and that the chance of it coming to fruition was not very high. I saw many potential difficulties and obstacles along the way.
The project did have intensive labor pains, and it took a long time to produce the final product, but, from the moment we turned the engine on, the process was amazing. This project was very special for our entire team—myself as a manager and producer, a director and an illustrator.
Each of us enjoyed working on this project. The illustrator had a lot to draw! The director and I were exposed to a different aspect of the Bible stories. There was also a great dynamic between us and the Maoz team. We told them what was important as far as the execution and the way to tell a story, and they told us what was important in the content and visual aspect.
This integration created an amazing series—people who experience different moments in their lives would relate to a certain Biblical story. Or when they get to a certain Torah Portion they receive a new point of view…
I knew of the name "Messianic Jews"; it was something I knew existed, but I had no idea where they lived, who they were, or what they believe. Were there any in Israel or are they just American? I really knew nothing about them. So this project, for me, was also an opportunity to meet people from another faith, and see a different angle to the stories I've known since my childhood. And it was really fun.
Omri Roth met Messianic Jews for the first time.
I think the main thing I understood about the Messianic Jews is that we have more things in common than things that are different. In the end, this small and narrow exposure showed me that our background is the same.
There wasn't really something very dramatic that I had trouble dealing with. For example, I remember the first video where Yeshua appeared, and I told myself, "Hold on, this is something that I don't know." I didn't understand how Yeshua related to what we were doing. These are stories I know from the first grade, and suddenly they are adding a new character. However, after I saw several chapters like this, I understood how these things fit into one another, and it wasn't weird. It was part of the story.
From my somewhat superficial understanding, the Messianic Jews believe what the Jews believe, and there's another layer of Yeshua and the New Testament. So in the end, the essence of what we've done in this project and the focus on the Old Testament (Tanach) are the things I also believe.
That's why I'm really proud of, and connected to, what we did. The fact is, today there are not many comprehensive projects like this one, which span the story of the Torah (Five Books of Moses) from its beginning to the end. Personally, this is also the biggest project I have worked on—an entire year alongside a professional team and a content team. And the end product is beautiful.

Preparing for the future harvest of the Lord
Maoz has been publishing books in Hebrew for over 35 years. In the beginning it was only a couple each year as per our budget—plus the fact that there were only a very small number of born-again Hebrew readers in the whole land!
We knew we were starting at close to zero for readership. Yet why were we so determined to print Hebrew books? The vision burned in our heart: One day there would be hundreds of readers, then thousands and after that many multitudes. We said to ourselves, "We must prepare not only for the believers today, but for the future harvest of the Lord!
All in all, we have now published 170 books, manuals, teaching workbooks, etc. for conferences and courses—all in Hebrew. Today, we have 70 of our best books in our www.maozstore.co.il. We also have our books with two large Israeli Internet publishing companies—Mendele and Yediot Aharonot (which publishes Israel's largest newspaper). Mendele also sells our books as eBooks. We are continually adding Hebrew books on Amazon. And we have Maoz books on display in 19 Messianic Congregations and Bookstores throughout the country.
This year we are in the process of translating, editing, and proofing another seven books. We yet need $66,300 to publish these seven. And this is not counting the three-year project of translating The Narrated Chronological Bible.
We have never "broken even" by selling any of our books. The cost of translation and publishing each book in Israel is many thousands of dollars as we print only a few hundred at a time. This may surprise you, but for us, publishing biblically rooted, and culturally relevant books in Hebrew is a way to build up new and veteran believers in the Israeli Body of Messiah that will have life-changing eternal results.
Just think for a moment. What if you had never had access to a single Gospel English-language book in your life?
We believe in the power of the printed page! And we are so very thankful to God and to our partners who have enabled us to print these books which we are certain will help raise up the "Tabernacle of David" until our Messiah returns!
Ten-year-old Yair Mazen may appear young, but his talent is UNDENIABLE!
The son of a pastor with a fast-growing congregation in the Haifa area, he is one of five children—all of whom show incredible talent. His older brother and sister are already accomplished musicians, leading worship and playing professionally. Yair and his younger sister are students in our Music Making for Kids program.
Last year Maoz provided music scholarships for over 40 children. Starting the new school year in September, we hope to enroll 60 believing children who show talent and dedication to become accomplished musicians and singers. These children, from 21 different Messianic Jewish congregations, are studying in conservatories around the country.
We are investing in a new generation of praisers and worshipers—who will bring glory to God and testimony to those who will be captured by the peace and beauty of true worship. Many Israeli believers will tell you they were first attracted to faith in Yeshua the Messiah by the songs and music they heard in Messianic congregations. Cost of this program for the coming year: $40,500* for 60 children. (£29,800; €33,950; CAD51,635)
Recording Israeli Worship:
You Are Special–stories out of the Old Testament is to be followed by a second children's CD about Yeshua and His life
Tanya Kadin, Music Making for Kids Director, rehearsing in preparation for recording their first Kids Worship CD, You Are Special.
One of our greatest passions is to produce music glorifying God and His Son Yeshua the Messiah. But what sets our music apart? The anointing! We love music that is anointed. And we love music that is done with excellence. And when we hear music that is both anointed and beautifully sung and played—that's Heavenly! For us there is nothing else that compares! This is what we long to see all over Israel!
Maoz team members, Tanya and Roman Kadin, are leading our Music Making for Kidsprogram and working with the finest of Messianic lyricists and composers for a second CD of children's songs. The first—You are Special—contains stories from the Old Testament. This second children's CD will be songs about Yeshua and His life. All in Hebrew, of course! Our first children's album is one of the most popular discs we have ever recorded! We can't wait until this next one is ready! Our Hebrew-speaking children will LOVE IT!
July 2018
Dear Maoz Partner,
This month we want to show you just a few of the long-term Maoz Israel programs that we believe give us important opportunities to get the Good News out to our Israeli people!
- Our program for children across our nation to receive a top music education from an early age has already shown beautiful results. Children who have been vetted for talent and focus can begin our program at six years old and continue until they graduate from high school. The higher their level of skill and motivation, the larger the percentage of their music costs that are covered. This program is already producing incredibly wonderful worshipers in their teens who are already playing and singing in a number of the worship teams in different congregations. Cost of this program which starts in the September school year is $40,500 for 60 students.
- Furthermore, our Maoz music team of husband and wife, Roman and Tanya, have produced a number of Messianic worship CDs over the last decade. These songs are sung throughout the country. Tanya has put together a choral group of young children from several congregations in central Israel. The children have sung at many holiday presentations, and are preparing to record their second album of songs which tell stories about Yeshua.
- Our Maoz publishing company started many years ago–despite high prices for publishing in Israel, and other challenges–especially in the beginning when many printers turned down our business because of our faith. Not long ago one of our faithful printing companies had to use an ultra-Orthodox company to print a certain cover. Our contractor ended up taking his crew into the printing plant only in the wee hours of the morning for several days so the religious authorities wouldn't launch a protest. But we got our covers! This year we plan to publish another seven books. Cost yet to pay $66,300.
- Our wonderful Narrated Chronological Bible is one of the most important projects we have ever undertaken. We believe you, our partner, understand the critical importance of the Israeli people having a Bible they can and will read. This is a project that will make this Bible easier for Israelis to read and understand than any other that exists in Hebrew. It has been amazing for us to see that during the last 11 months, our partners have donated $330,000—almost two-thirds of the needed $500,000 total cost!
We could go on and on. Our www.viewthis.com website has been created to reach the non-believer. Our white-board comic renditions of the Torah portion of the week is reaching thousands who perhaps have never before shown interest in the Bible. The cost for 54 series to cover the year has been fully paid for.
These are just some of our programs. We do not have words to thank you, our Maoz partners, because we know that we are simply channels of your gifts to the God of Israel for the salvation of the people of Israel.
For our faithful Savior, Yeshua,
Ari & Shira Sorko-Ram
P.S. Your gift this month will empower Maoz to continue the programs and projects that we have found bring results. Our outreach is your outreach to Israel.

Advice From Our Experts
Smart Bites: Kick the Can
Say No to Sugar-Sweetened Beverages
If you could do one thing that would reduce your child's risk of developing cavities, diabetes, heart disease and obesity, would you do it? Well, that one thing is easy: stop buying sugar-sweetened beverages like soda, lemonade, sweet tea or fruit punch.
Why are sugary beverages so bad for you?
- Children who drink sugary beverages have 55 percent increased odds of becoming obese
- 26 percent higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes
- Up to 35 percent increased risk of developing heart disease
- Children who drink soda and/or punch have double the risk of developing dental cavities
- Children who drink sugary beverages often fill up on these high-calorie drinks instead of consuming nutrient-rich foods and beverages, so their diets tend to be low in calcium, vitamins A and C.
Every day over half of children and three-fourths of teenagers in the United States drink soda. Sugar-sweetened beverages are the No. 1 source of added sugars in a child's diet, providing more than double the amount of sugar provided by desserts, candies and cookies. The American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for added sugar per day are no more than:
- 3 to 4 teaspoons per day for preschooler to 8 years of age
- 5 teaspoons per day for children age 8 to teens
- 6 teaspoons per day for teenage girls and women
- 9 teaspoons per day for teenage boys and men
Types of drinks that exceed to recommended amount of sugar:
- Sweetened iced teas: 18 teaspoons in a large can
Soda: 16 teaspoons in a 20 oz. bottle
- Flavored iced coffee: 12 teaspoons in regular-sized drink
- Lemonade: 7 teaspoons in a glass, 17 teaspoons in a 20-ounce bottle
- Fruit punch pouch: 5 teaspoons in a pouch
What to offer instead?
- Nonfat or 1 percent milk
- Sparkling water, plain or flavored with fun fruit slices
- Mix ¾ water or sparkling water to ¼ 100% juice . For one 8 ounce cup that would be 6 ounces of water or sparkling water and 2 ounces of juice.
- Healthy drinks with frozen cherries, grapes or mango instead of ice
- Water infused with cucumber, mint or any refreshing fruit or vegetable
- Unsweetened herbal tea
To keep your family healthy, "kick the can."

"They started threatening me and even hurt me physically."
Former Bigg Boss contestant and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo (2015) actor Armaan Kohli has hit the headlines again for the wrong reasons.
A fashion designer by the name of Nadia Aheli has filed a police complaint against Kohli and his friend for physically and verbally abusing her.
This is not the first time that the actor has been in trouble for physical abuse after he assaulted his ex-girlfriend and fashion stylist Neeru Randhawa in June 2018.
It left her hospitalised and Kohli was arrested. However, the complaint was later withdrawn and the actor was released.
Now it seems he is in trouble again for physical abuse after Nadia gave her account of events to the police on December 2, 2018.
It was heard that Kohli had met the woman through a mutual friend at a party in Juhu not too long ago and became good friends.
They were even spotted singing songs and enjoying each other's company in a video which has circulated on social media.
However, according to Nadia, both Kohli and his friend Dilip Rajput began making unreasonable demands to her and threatened her.
It was heard money is the reason behind Kohli's alleged physical abuse but police have not confirmed the reason.
Nadia said: "Well I have lodged an FIR against three people, Armaan, his friend Dilip Rajput and his servant Nitin.
"Armaan and Rajput made some unreasonable demands to me and I had no option but to complain. Armaan and Rajput had taken Rs. 50 Lakh from me, and they refused to return.
"When I insisted that I need my money back, they started threatening me and even hurt me physically."
In addition, Dilip verbally abused Nadia at a party in Versova, Mumbai and Kohli abused her over the phone and using offensive language.
Versova Police confirmed that a complaint had been registered and are currently looking into the matter. They intend to contact the 46-year-old soon.
An officer said: "An FIR has been registered against Armaan Kohli and his friend Dilip Rajput under Section 509 (word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman), 506 (punishment for criminal intimidation) and 34 (common intention).
"We are investigating the matter."
Armaan has spoken out about Nadia's accusations. Speaking to Mid-Day, he said:
"It's a complaint against someone else and my name is being dragged into this. It will be cleared, it is not a big issue. Once it gets cleared, I will speak to you."
Armaan Kohli starred in a number of Bollywood films, mostly during the 1990s and appeared on Bigg Boss 7 in 2013.
Kohli is not one to shy away from controversy. From clashing with almost all his fellow contestants on Bigg Boss to his short temper, it has all been highly publicised.
This case of him allegedly abusing Nadia Aheli is still in its early stages, it will only be a matter of time before more details emerge.

Bengali Food Bloggers Interview
This series tries to bring the personal side of the blogger in the list of Top 7 Bengali Food Blogs. This is Part 3 and features Indrani of Appyayan. Earlier interviews:
- Jayashree Mandal of Spice and Curry
- Bong Mom of Bong Mom's CookBook

Without further ado, we give you Indrani.
What inspires you to write a food blog?
Food is an important part of our life. I absolutely love cooking. So my love of cooking and learning new recipes inspire me to write a food blog, so that I can share my love with the world.
Who had been your inspiration for cooking?
My mom had been my true inspiration, who is a great cook. She can create a good food out of anything.
Who was and is your greatest support(s) for this blog?
My husband
What was the first dish that you prepared and when?
The first dish I learnt to cook is Dharosh Posto (Okra / bhindi in poppy seed sauce), because this is my favorite Bengali dish. I learnt this at the age of 13.
What are the 3 food blogs that you would recommend our readers to read?
There are many good food blogs which I visit regularly, but if you ask me specifically, other than Cook Like a Bong, I would recommend, (a) Sailu's Kitchen, as she has a collection of great recipes (b) eCurry, as she has introduced me with so many new food and I learned so much from her blog, (c) Foodie's Hope, I just love to visit her blog.
How many cook books do you have?
I have 4 cookbooks – one Bengali cookbook, one on Indian Cuisine, one on baking and one on Chinese cuisine (my fav, just after Bengali cuisine).
What's your favorite cookbook?
I have a collection of bookmarked recipes from cooking sites and other food blogs, if I put all of them together and make a book, that'll be my most favorite cookbook.
Tell us something about food from your part of the world?
For the quintessential Bengalis, food is one of the most important aspects of daily life. As it's said, "Bengalis do not eat to live, but live to eat". But don't take Bengalis as an over-eater. Fish and rice, are the most staple food in Bengal, but hardly a day goes by without a Bengali eating some form of dal (lentil). Bengali daily meal has a good proportion of everything we need in our food. A typical daily meal will include rice, dal, some fries with dal, one vegetable dish and a fish or egg or chicken dish. Lastly a chutney, not daily but often. I think, Bengali cuisine is the most sophisticated cuisine in India.
What would you eat for your last supper?
For last supper, I would love to eat some comfort food like dal-bhat-bhaja (lentil-rice and some fry) or khichudi
Which other food blogs do you read regularly?
There are many good food blogs, I try to read as many of them in my little spare time
Your fondest food memory?
I don't recollect any food memory, but I've fondest cooking memory which I absolutely cherish. When my mom used to get sick, bapi (my father) and me used to cook that day. My bapi only knows to cook dharosh aloo posto (okra-potato in poppy seed sauce) and dal (lentil soup), as those are his favorite dishes and easy to cook, too. I used to cut the vegetables and bapi used to cook. He used to show me every step very carefully. We had such nice time together. Whatever I learned about cooking so far, all credit goes to my mom. If she hasn't pushed me to learn to cook, I couldn't have survived after marriage, as I am living abroad since my marriage.
Your most trusted kitchen companion?
My mixer-grinder/blender.
What made you to call your blog "Appayan"?
"Appyayan" is a bengali word which means to serve your guests which I love to do. My intention to start this blog was to serve my visitors and readers with some authentic bengali recipes, which I learned from my mother, mil and grandmother and other healthy and tasty recipes I experiment in my kitchen daily and love. This is the reason behind the name of my blog.
Name three dishes (along with their links) from your blog that you like preparing often
- Garlic Flavoured Masoor Dal (Lahsooni dal)
- Paneer butter masala (my daughter's favorite food)
- Chatpata Chicken
Which cookbook can you not do without and which chef is your hero/heroine?
The above mentioned favorite cookbook of mine, my bookmarked recipe collection, that I can't do without and my favorite chef is Master Chef Sanjeev Kapoor, I just love to try his recipes.

A website is a space on the net that houses a set of related web pages organized hierarchically.The latent tendency is to mistakenly confuse the concepts of page and website, thinking that both are the same. A web page is part of a web site, it is a single document, while a web site is a unit formed by the combination of several web pages linked and related to each other in order to display content of a greater breadth. Click here for how to price membership website.
A website is a means of communication within the Internet that offers information through its various web pages. Its operation is based on the action of the user to navigate between them.
What is a web page?
The basic element for Internet advertising is the web page. Starting from this, it is derived to more complex elements that I will detail throughout this article and the following.Visit this site for how to price membership website.
Website is:Document located on a computer network, accessed through hypertext links. Or we can cay: text containing elements from which other information can be accessed.
Hypertext makes it possible to create, add, connect and share information through associated links. A link or hyperlink is an element that refers to another. If the user makes use of it, the linked element is displayed.
Web page types
Web pages can be of two types:
They contain short-term non-variable information, generally they are of fixed content. They show only content, not allowing interaction.
They are based on simple Html language and to modify their content you have to access the server where they are hosted and re-upload files, not being suitable for constant updates.
Their content is constantly changing and they are connected to databases that enable the development of web applications.
Its fundamental advantage is to allow the personalization of the page based on the type of user, also allowing real-time interaction with the user, who can perform searches, purchases or send messages, among others.
In addition to Html, they are based on complex languages ??such as Php, Asp or Jsp and to modify content it is enough to simply change the database, which is synchronized with the server.
As an example, a dynamic web page can be a search engine, an email manager, a forum, a blog, a social network or a virtual store, among others.
A web page can also be
Public: Accessible to any user with an Internet connection.
Private: Accessible only to a limited number of users, who must identify themselves and be recognized by the access system.

Last weekend Juventus honored their keeper Gianluigi Buffon for hitting 20 years as a player in Serie A. He made his debut in 1995 for Parma against AC Milan and in his 20th year he also played against the same club in 1-0 win for his current team The Old Lady.
This brought Soccer24 into thinking of one legendary goal keeper who gave long service to the game of Soccer.
Its non other than our very own Bruce Grobbelaar.
The Former Zimbabwe international Bruce Grobbelaar happens to be a hero most football fans in Africa don't really know a lot about. Born in South Africa in 1957 but raised in Zimbabwe, the talented shot stopper played for Premier League giants Liverpool for 13 years. He retired in 2007 aged 50 years.
For those who consider Germany No. 1 keeper Manuel Neuer to be the best sweeper in the history of the game, I might challenge you to have a look at Grobbelaar video clips because am sure you will change your opinion. He had it all, talk of confidence, flamboyance and gymnastic-like athletic ability, he is by far the best keeper Africa has ever produced.
It's not all about his personal abilities; he won the League 6 times, FA Cup 3 times, League Cup 3 times, FA Charity Shield 5 times, European Cup and Super Cup once. Samuel Etoo may be the most decorated African Player of all time but looking at Grobbelaar medal cabinet, you can say they are up there together.
Grobbelaar collected 33 Caps for Zimbabwe national team between 1977-1998. He also served as a player coach for the national team on two occasions. He is currently the goalkeeper coach for Ottawa Fury FC of the North American Soccer League.
Other keepers who served long:
Former Columbian goalkeeper Faryd Mondragon became the oldest player ever in World Cup history after breaking Roger Milla(42) record in 2014 Brazil showdown.
He replaced David Ospina in the 4-0 win against Greece. This was his third World Cup appearances after being included in 1994 and 1998 finals.
Former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Brad Friedel was without a doubt one of the best shot stoppers of his generation. He may not have played for the best teams in Europe but playing consistently for 25 years is not a joke. He was one of the most difficult goalkeepers to beat and many strikers will tell you that for sure.
Colin Lee-Britain is arguably the oldest player in British history if not football history. In 2011 he was awarded the Barclays Community Sports Award for his community football work. The goalie , now 76 years old has been playing since he was 6 years and that means he has played for 70 years.

Partner with a Physician Specializing in Breast Surgery
Finding an underarm or breast lump or noticing changes in the skin and nipple can cause great distress. Finding a reputable breast surgeon, one who is well regarded by patients and peers, will provide a reassuring plan of action. Dr. Nicole Basa is one of the few Austin surgeons certified in breast ultrasound by the American Society of Breast Surgeons, and she provides the latest in diagnostic imaging so that you quickly find answers and resolution.
Your breast surgeon completed fellowship training in minimally invasive surgery at UCLA and is recognized as one of the Southwest's most proficient breast surgeons.
Should Dr. Basa find a non-malignant breast mass during your in-office sonogram, she will aspirate the cyst or remove the mass using a thin, flexible needle and the Terason Ultrasound Imaging System. During the same procedure, she may biopsy the mass so that you do not need to make a secondary appointment with a radiologist.
Women are finding breast cancer at earlier stages, so you are likely to have a positive outcome. We are also able to more efficiently treat breast cancer with newer methods with partial breast irradiation administered through a SAVI applicator that preserves breast tissue and reduces radiation time from six weeks to five days. There is good cause to hope!
In-office procedures include:
Breast sonography
Needle biopsy
Cyst aspiration
SAVI and MammoSite placement
Removal of breast masses
About Breast Cancer Surgery
You will have many decisions to make prior to surgery for breast cancer, but your diagnosis will broaden or limit your options. Dr. Basa will thoroughly explain all of the factors to consider when deciding between lumpectomy also known medically as a partial mastectomy (breast-conserving surgery) and mastectomy (breast removal).
Women with early-stage breast cancer, with evidence of cancer present in only one site, a tumor under 4 cm and tissue that is free of cancer cells (referred to as negative or clear margins), benefit from a less invasive approach. Dr. Basa will explain what she considers to be clear margins, and how she prepares the breast for post-surgical radiation or chemotherapy followed by radiation.
Exploration of the lymph nodes under the arm will yield more information about the cancer progression.
- Axillary lymph node dissection (ALND) involves removing the lymph nodes under the arm.
- Sentinel lymph node biopsy (SLNB) targets only the nodes that a dye test shows to be the first (sentinel) nodes in the path of the bloodstream from the cancer site. A sentinel lymph node biopsy greatly reduces the risk for lymphedema or arm swelling.
Every action that you take has life-altering consequences, so Dr. Basa always provides attentive care, extensive patient resources and open, ongoing communication before and after breast surgery.
When Breast Cancer Surgical Plans Include Mastectomy
According to Breast Cancer.org, women in the U.S., particularly in the Southern U.S., tend to choose mastectomies as a course of treatment. If you and your clinical care team feel like that is the best option for you, Dr. Basa will explain the variables.
- Simple mastectomy
- Skin-sparing mastectomy
- Nipple-sparing mastectomy
- Modified radical mastectomy
Having an accurate diagnosis, including staging of the cancer, is imperative for
moving forward with confidence and planning for reconstruction. Our Cedar Park surgery staff will surround you with compassionate and supportive care, preparing you for what to expect before, during and after your procedures.
If you are concerned with a recent finding or suspect you may have breast cancer, contact Cedar Park Surgeons for an expedited appointment with Dr. Basa.

Beware Of These Important Auto Recalls
Beware Of These Important Auto Recalls
In a mobile society, nearly everyone relies on some form of transportation to get from point A to point B. In cities with reliable public transportation, the chances of being in an auto accident are lower than in cities where most people drive their own cars. With so many motorists on the road it is important to have a safe car, and to stay on top of repairs and upkeep. This includes knowing when your car has a recalled part, or has a mechanical problem that needs to be addressed. Even when consumers take care to avoid accidents, they can still happen if the car has a manufacturing defect that has not been remedied. Below is a list of cars that have been recently recalled for various safety feature flaws, and if you own one of these or have been in an accident with one it is important that you contact a skilled personal injury attorney to learn your options.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration issued a statement concerning recall of the following vehicles
● 2012-2014 Ford Fiesta
● 2013 Ford Fusions
● 2013 Lincoln MKZ
● Some 2014 Ford Fusion models and some 2014 Lincoln MKZ models
The problem is with the vehicles' door latching systems. Apparently the doors on some of these cars do not close all the way. This leaves drivers and passengers open to an increased risk when in an accident, or in everyday use of the car. In situations where these cars are involved in accidents, the chances that the doors will open are great. This can result in being ejected from the vehicle, and thus a passenger or driver suffering severe injuries. Considering defects in the auto is just one component of a personal injury case. It is still necessary to take into account the actions of the other driver. Both of these things are possible avenues of recovery, and I can help you decide what is best for you.
If you have questions about what to do if your car is the subject of a safety recall, attorney Robert Greening has the answers. Call a Dallas, Texas personal injury attorney today.

Description of Template
The Case Management for Government Agencies application template SharePoint helps agencies track the status of open cases. Case administrators can designate whether a case is open or closed, upload supporting documents for a particular case, and assign a case to a responsible case manager. The template also provides user specific dashboards which list cases and tasks owned by the authenticated user. Tasks can be created for each case and supporting documents can be uploaded to help case managers maintain to do items and related information in a single location.
Functionality of the Application Template
- Open a New Case: This is typically the first action that is taken for a new case. Using this workflow automatically generates three documents. The first is a Microsoft Office Excel® template which can be used to help track expenses for a particular case. The second is a Microsoft Office Word memo template and the third is an Office Word template for tracking the status of a case. New tasks are also automatically generated for each new case, including a task for the assigned owner to intake information and meet with the client. The generation is driven by a custom workflow, which can be accesses through Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer.
- Assign a Case: If the case manager is not known when a case is created, this common action can be used to assign a case, including the tasks and ownership of the three documents, to a new owner. It can also be used to reassign cases between managers.
- Close a Case: This action can be used to close a case within the application template.
Each user can access a personalized dashboard of his or her open cases and tasks for each case. Also, documents pertaining to each case are organized under a case list, which helps case managers keep track of documents pertaining to each case under management. Users of the application template can create and assign new tasks for a particular case. The details of the task will be sent as an email message to the group or person assigned to the item automtically.
Additional Functionality
The application template also includes additional functionality to help managers better manage government cases. A document library for holding monthly reports has been provided as well as a shared calendar and team annoucements. Common filters are utilized to show different view of case data, including user specific cases, all cases, unassigned cases and unassigned tasks.
Site Lists and Libraries
Case Documents: The case documents library holds all documents that are assigned to cases. The default view organizes the documents by case number. As discussed, this application template has a custom workflow built to automatically generate two template documents and one template spreadsheet.
Expense Report Library: This document library can be used to hold expense reports that do not pertain to a particular case.
Memo Library: Track memos that are assigned to a particular case.
Monthly Reports Library: Track monthly reports that can be created and uploaded by the case manager or others on the case management team.
Announcements: Track announcements that can be viewed by the entire team.
Calendar: Use the calendar to organize dates and times of particular events or activities.
Cases: Provides a listing of all cases that have been entered into the application template, including case number, title, status, assigned to, created date and status of workflow.
Links: Use links to list links to relevant or related Web sites within the organization or outside the firewall.
Tasks: Use the task list to keep track of work that you or your team needs to complete.

Summer Adventures!
It's finally summertime! That means lots of free time on your hands to explore and try new things. Luckily, we live in an area full of interesting things to do and see. If you are stuck, here are a few ideas to get you started.
- Check out an aquarium! We have several great aquariums nearby showcasing both local and exotic marine life. Try the Roundhouse Aquarium on Manhattan Beach Pier, the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium, the Santa Monica Pier aquarium or the Aquarium of the Pacific. All have great informative exhibits and touch tanks to get up close and personal with the animals.
- The Page Museum at the La Brea Tar Pits. Ever wonder what lived in Southern California before people? Find out at the Page Museum! They have a great collection of prehistoric skeletons, from giant sloths to direwolves to mammoths. There is even a live excavation site outside as well as a real bubbling tar pit.
- See a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. This beautiful outdoor auditorium has a great program of both classical and modern music performances throughout the summer, often with famous musicians. There are even sing alongs! Pack up picnic and enjoy the weather while listening to great music.
- Get outside! We live in a beautiful area with virtually perfect weather, along with miles and miles of beaches. Learn to stand up paddleboard, or kayak or bodysurf. There are beautiful hikes in the Santa Monica Mountains, and tidepools galore in Abalone Cove. Pick a new trail and see what you find!
- Learn a new sport! If you are in the off season for school sports, why not pick up a new one? Ultimate Frisbee is a classic, or you could pick up an outside the box option like quidditch or beach tennis. Even better, make up your own!

If a picture is worth a thousand words, how about video?
If we're talking online, it's worth a great deal more than words, or images, or even audio for that matter.
Video on the Web is well on its way to becoming the hottest new "content" vehicle, and for those quick and savvy enough to take advantage of its potential, it offers rich rewards.
What's more – as many in the online content business are discovering – a timely investment in Web video coupled with some smart marketing, can translate into big – and I mean BIG – gains.
Nearly every week, the explosive potential of video on the Web is felt with new mix-and-match models, platform agnostic video content, hybrid devices, and unusual alliances.
The line between producers and consumers – already blurred by the Web – is now even more imperceptible. As Wired Magazine editor Chris Anderson writes in book The Long Tail: "A once-monolithic industry structure where professionals produced and amateurs consumed is now a two-way marketplace, where anyone can be in any camp at any time."
A dramatic case in point is YouTube the social Web site – founded in February 2005 by three early PayPal employees – that allows users to upload, view, and share video clips.
It's no exaggeration to say YouTube epitomizes the potential of Web video.
The portal's explosive success in a little over a year is testimony to the power of a timely idea – in this case making citizen's media accessible to a broad global audience – coupled with some clever positioning.
While YouTube's potential market value (were it to be acquired) is pure speculation, a recent New York Post article suggested the site may be worth anywhere from $600 to $1billion!
YouTube, meanwhile, is currently one of the fastest-growing sites on the World Wide Web with 100 million new clips watched and 65,000 new videos uploaded on the site every single day. For a company that's barely 18 months old that sort of performance can only be described as spectacular.
YouTube's rip roaring success is driving new "video of the Web" ventures, new business models, and new markets.
Other video-sharing sites staking their claim to fame on this "citizen video" model include iFilm.com, tv.blinkx.com, video.yahoo.com, and video.google.com.
And while none of these enjoy the incredible popularity and viewership of YouTube, they are trying desperately to play catch up.
For instance, a seemingly small change Google recently made to its home page speaks volumes about how critically important video is becoming to the search engine's future business model and strategy.
On August 9, some perceptive visitors to the Google home page discovered that the link to Froogle – Google's popular online price comparison service – was replaced with one to Google Video, where amateur spoof videos share space with clips from Comedy Central.
On the face of it, this minor tweak is likely to have – correct that, is already having – a really major impact, as shown by an analysis by Bill Tancer, general manager of global research at Hitwise Pty. Ltd., the New York-based provider of online competitive intelligence services.
Hitwise data updates daily, so Tancer was able to pull a chart depicting the market share of visits (compared to all U.S. Internet visits) for the two affected sites, Google Video and Froogle. His chart indicated Google Video's traffic on August 9 – the day the link was introduced on the home page – had more than doubled.
"From another perspective, I looked at the percentage traffic Google's home page sent to the Video page before and after the link change," Tancer wrote in his blog.
He said the numbers indicated that Google Video's traffic from the homepage "surged from 50 per cent to 70 per cent in a single day."
The change also affected the relative position of the two services in the Google traffic hierarchy. While Google Video moved to the number 5 position, Froogle dropped from number 5 to number 7.
This morphing of two worlds – online and video – is being driven, not just by online behemoths. It's a game two can play…and are playing.
Big TV networks are getting their act together in a big way, actively aligning with third parties to publicize and monetize their assets on the Web.
A case in point is the recent deal struck between MTV networks and Google to distribute video clips to Web sites targeting teens and young adults. The initiative has been depicted as an entirely new way of producing, processing and distributing video content: Google splices ads into video clips from MTV Networks, and then these clips are hosted on niche Web sites.
It's a win-win situation for all the involved parties. The revenues – and you can bet these will be huge – will be split three ways between MTV's parent Viacom Inc., Google and the hosting sites.
And it's expected to be a bonanza for end users too (in this teens and young adults) who get access to loads of free new content.
Video on the Web is already big, and is just going to just get bigger.
Outlets such as YouTube are transforming yesterday's couch potato into tomorrow's producer, actor, journalist, exhibitionist, and champion of show biz.
"Where is this all going?" you ask.
I think I'll answer that one by quoting the title of an episode in the 1996 soap 7th Heaven: "Just You Wait and See."

We discovered a major thing back in 2001:
It's much more fun to go outside when you have great traction.
Since then, our only mission is to inspire people to go outdoors. To do this, we make a series of events where people can meet and do the things they love, together with the people they love. We do it year-around, in all kind of terrains and surroundings, to introduce people to the beauty of the seasons and to show them what Icebug is all about.
We call it Icebug Xperience.
"Be the change you want to see in the World"
Global Relations är en ideell förening som driver utvecklingsprojekt i östafrika. Syftet är att hjälpa utsatta personer till en ljusare framtid med hjälp av utbildning. Bland annat har vi byggt, startat och nu driver Kenswed Academy, en gymnasieskola för fattiga ungdomar med nästan 300 elever!
Kafferostare Per Nordby is a speciality coffee roastery in Göteborg, Sweden. I love tasty coffee and want you to enjoy every single cup of it too.
I buy coffee from people I know and trust, who share a passion for great coffee with me. I know the taste can tell you a story about the coffee and where it comes from. I also believe it is evident from the taste, that the people behind it take pride in producing it for us.
I source green coffee from origin partners that farm and process their own coffee. A direct trade relation with the producers I work with is important: it helps ensure I get the high quality I seek and helps them ensure their product ends up in a good place. Together, we build a trade that is mutually beneficial and is based on personal relations. This provides a basis for a long term partnership that we can grow together. This type of transparent trade gives me insight into the social and environmental aspects of coffee production, leading to a possibility of engaging with enacting positive changes. Because I visit the producers, they sometimes visit me. In this way, we can learn from each other and provide you with an overall better coffee experience.
Kenenisa Bekele Education är ett skolprojekt i Etiopien. Tillsammans med den framgångsrika löparen Kenenisa Bekele ska det möjliggöras att fler ungdomar får en utbildning. Just nu pågår arbetet med att starta upp en skola i huvudstaden Adis Abeba.
Projektet drivs av Global Relations och huvudfinansiärer är Zelmerlöw & Björkman Foundation. Men på grund av ett undantagstillstånd i landet har inte arbetet gått i den takt vi önskat. Vi väntar i dagsläget på klartecken på den 3 hektar mark som skolan ska byggas på. Under tiden har det tagits ett symboliskt första spadtag!
