Almost miraculously I managed to speak basic Burmese. After having spent several weeks "hacking Burmese," I got through quite a few basic conversations during my travels in Myanmar at the end of Dec 2013. I can't claim any high level fluency but equipped with 150 words and phrases, I could bumble my way through situational dialogues. It also made my trip to Burma wicked funny-interesting at time too!
So, what to do now with my Burmese?
I'm no longer in Burma, have no Burmese friends and am not planning to travel there. This arguably is not a great situation to motivate me to maintain or continue learning Burmese.
At the same time, it's painful, after a study hiatus, to feel the loss of memories, to know that you once knew how to say something but now it is simply a blank.
Even worse are those times when someone asks you what you can say in that language and you don't remember much of anything.
Today I was reminded to review my Burmese in Memrise, where I built my course and added my memory queues or mems. Memrise reminded me that I had 154 "plants to water," which is their way of saying that it's time reinforce memory connections. Even though I've seen this reminder off and on for a couple weeks, today I decided to go back and see what I still knew.
The first question appeared and my mind flinched. I couldn't recall the answer. Not surprisingly the month long break from any exposure or use of Burmese was quite apparent. I had been using some basic phrases and numbers nearly everyday a couple months ago and I could produce them without much effort, but suddenly I had a lapse in recall and had to think. Some numbers had basically disappeared from my recall and other vocabulary had failed to be quite as precise.
It's a sad feeling to no longer remember. And yet the question remains: should I try to study a language that I have little likelihood of using again?
Moreover, in my obsession with time and productive use of it, would it be better to simply let the language memories go and return later to re-learn when I have reason to learn Burmese OR would my time be better allotted on occasionally reviewing Burmese, so the current memories and learning remains?
I suppose there is no perfect answer to how you handle past languages. If it's a language you've put a lot of effort into and obtained a decent level, then I'd say it's a pity to let it go. This is essentially true if you reach intermediate or higher levels. These are languages that I think should be pushed to the next level or maintained.
On the other hand, for a travel language hack like I did with Burmese, the answer isn't so clear. I've already moved onto other projects and other languages, so allotting special time to studying Burmese doesn't make a ton of sense.
At the same time, there are occasions where it's fun to go back to those old languages and review them. So, today, in the midst of writing this post, I took a few minutes and reviewed some of my Burmese. I honestly didn't remember a lot of what I previously knew, but to hear and remember just a few of the phrases made me smile and wonder.
What about you? What do you do with the old languages you've previously learned but aren't actively studying?

Under the Trafficking Victims Protection Act and its reauthorizations, in the U.S. no youth should be considered a "child prostitute"—minors (children under the age of 18) induced into commercial sex acts are, by definition, victims of human trafficking. Many of these victims are not kidnapped or confined, but lead "double lives," going to school, living at home, and having apparently "normal" social lives, while concurrently being sold for sex by a trafficker-pimp through a process of manipulation that involves elements of psychological coercion, romancing, blackmail, and even physical violence. They might be sold for sex on weekends or afterschool, and the trafficker might be extra cautious about raising the suspicions of parents, guardians, and teachers. In some instances, the trafficker may even be a peer-aged boy/girlfriend.
1) "Grooming," or "Seasoning" the Minor: Considering that traffickers always choose the path ofleast resistance, not every minor is equally at risk. Traffickers will look for vulnerable children of all social/ethnic backgrounds that exhibit specific psychological characteristics that make them more prone to manipulation. In this stage, the trafficker will look for an "open door" by which to start the process of manipulation.
They will look for children who:
- Show signs of social exclusion/marginalization from family, friends, or peer romantic relationships, and express intentions online of running away.
- Have a history of sexual or physical abuse.
- They meet either online or in-person, where they evaluate the self-esteem of the minor through psychologically astute questioning, analyzing the minor´s body language, eye contact, and even tone of voice. A common tactic is to compliment a potential victim. If the youth simply thanks the predator while looking at him/her straight in the eyes, then the the minor shows signs of self-valuation, and thus may not be an "easy target." If, on the other hand, the minor looks down at the ground and either says nothing or rejects the compliment, the predator might infer a self-esteem problem, and may pursue him/her.
- Escape from home and need basic needs met; the minor risks falling into a trafficking situation via "survival sex" after overstaying his/her welcome at the homes where he/she has been "couch surfing."
- New "friends" emerge who are significantly older and outside the common peer social sphere; random new Facebook "friend requests."
- Minor becomes suddenly uninterested in activities/hobbies he/she liked.
- Minor becomes dejected (more than might be usual), withdrawn, and seeks to be alone and on the phone a lot while talking to just a friend—the trafficker.
- Youth carries unexplained cash and expensive gifts: This may have begun in the previous stage, but is usually intensified in this stage.
- The lure of transgression: Increased alcohol use/abuse and use of drugs: The trafficker is pushing the minor into either dependency or a sense that with him/her the minor has more freedom (a false freedom dependent on the trafficker).
- Unusual rise in interest in/preoccupation with pornography.
- The youth seems to "check-in" by phone or device to a "friend" constantly.
3) The Minor Falls into the Trafficking Situation: At a certain point, either after thoroughly romancing the youth, or spending much time/money/gifts on him/her, the trafficker will "ask for a favor" which will be the first commercial sex act the minor does for the trafficker. Having been isolated from his/her former circles, and estranged from his/her parents, the minor will comply, sometimes with an interest in the money the trafficker/pimp promises. The trafficker may have a circle of youths who he/she is trafficking, and this circle will largely replace the minor´s previous social relations. Look for the following:
- Carries lots of cash: Trafficker may indeed "pay" the minor, sometimes even hundreds of dollars per week (him/herself making SIGNIFICANTLY more).
- Minor´s "other life" may start to encroach upon school and family time, as "dates" are scheduled by the trafficker at increasingly erratic times.
- Unusual hours are kept; minor has problems sleeping/has nightmares.
- Minor may start dressing in an especially hyper-sexualized style.
- Minor may be bruised: A trafficker will always prefer psychological manipulation and isolation to outright violence, but he/she may still resort to beatings/slapping.
- Minor may be "branded" with tattoos: Less common if the trafficker wants to keep the minor leading a "double life," but tattoos do not have to be names, they can be symbols shared by all the minors in that trafficker/pimp's circle.
- Minor may always "be able" to physically leave the trafficking situation: The "chains" are usually invisible, and often involve the "love" that the youth may have for the trafficker, threats to the minor's family, money the trafficker/pimp shares, etc.
If you suspect a trafficking situation, call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center hotline: 1-888-373-7888, or text Help at 233733 (BeFree).

Keppel completes FPSO upgrade
Singapore's Keppel Shipyard Ltd (Keppel Shipyard) has completed the upgrade and modification of FPSO Armada Perkasa for repeat customer Bumi Armada.
Mr Olatunde Emmanuel Odusina, Nigeria's Minister of State for Energy (Gas) attended a ceremony held for the sailÐaway of the vessel for its deployment in the Okoro Setu Fields, Nigeria.
Keppel Shipyard's relationship with Bumi Armada goes back into the last decade when it first converted the FPSO Armada Perkasa in 1997 for operation in the PM3 field, Malaysia.
The vessel subsequently returned for refurbishment, life extension and repair prior to its current upgrade.
This latest upgrade includes installation of additional field equipment and modification of FPSO and shipboard systems.

A former employee of a Hyde Park-based black sorority filed a wrongful termination lawsuit today, claiming she was purposely humiliated and fired for not going along with the sorority president's improper spending of sorority funds.
The suit comes about three months after a lawsuit filed in Washington D.C. on behalf of sorority members claimed Alpha Kappa Alpha president Barbara McKinzie improperly spent thousands of dollars in sorority funds, including nearly $900,000 on a wax statue of herself.
AKA's corporate offices are located at 5656 S. Stony Island Ave.
The suit, filed in Cook County Circuit Court by former AKA meetings director Kenitra Shackelford, claims she was improperly dismissed because of her refusal to participate in or allow McKinzie's "illegal" actions.

If we can gain some insight on the more indepth workings of the brains of animals then this serves as a "map" and will point researchers in the general direction of there goal. After all we share 95-98% the same DNA with chimps anyway.
Comparing a chimp to a 3 year-old is an unfair tactic, but I will let you slide on that.
What if we honored each and every animal ever used in research, like put their name on a big Wall like the war memorial? That should make up for their sacrifice, don't you agree? Then it is on par with the way humans are treated.

I just don't agree with this at all. We should not be #ing over other animals of this Earth just for our own personal gain. We're living far too long anyway, just look at the population. The last thing we need is more extention to our lives.

I have known vegetarians who's doctors told them that they had to return to being a carnivore again because they had developed deficiencies from the lack of red meat. Also there is the fact that our teeth are the teeth of omnivores, not just herbivores, leading me to believe we were designed to eat meat and plants.

The ends do not always justify the means. Just because we can capture, imprison, experiment on, and torture a creature weaker than us, doesn't mean we should.
If people are so concerned with finding a cure for neurological problems in humans, experiment on humans. The assumption that monkeys experience suffering less than people, just because they can't speak is absurd. They feel joy, sadness, pain, and pleasure just like we do. I am so sick of people claiming that just because we behave, communicate, or think differently than animals, it means that they are beneath us and therefore subject to our will. If an alien came here from a different planet but didn't think or communicate like we do, would we be justified in #ing with it's brain also? Would it be ok to lock it in a cage and use it to satisfy our curiosity? Monkeys, apes and dolphins are three of the most intelligent creatures on the planet. Who is to say whether or not they are as valuable as we are?
People are supposed to die. If we weren't, we wouldn't. Our obsession with putting off the inevitable, because we can't bring ourselves to face it, is not justification to abuse or torture other creatures. Instead we should be focusing on coming to terms with the our eventual demise, and the ways which we can improve the quality our natural lives while we have them.
thanks jezebel, you said it much better than I ever could. And as a side note, if you believe in God, how do you think he feels about this kind of behaviour? Exactly. And just because it isn't you doing the testing doesn't mean your wont be held responsible, it's for your gain and you have done nothing to stop it so you are. I don't believe in the big G, but I still think it's sickening even without a dogma hanging over me.

Another example of a disturbing Primate Experiment Please do not read this if you are weak of heart.
The scientists seperated a baby chimp from its mother and locked up the mother somewhere else. They made a replica(fake) Mother monkey and stood it up, the baby monkey ran towards it and clang onto it. They wanted to see what would make it get away from the mother. First they had the replica monkey shaken violently, and the baby still didnt let go. They also tried putting spikes on it, and heating it. How low do these people go?

I recently watched Wrong Turn 6 without any prior feedback on the movie and to my regret it was not up to the expectation. I was expecting something better than previous movies in the series, especially Wrong Turn 5. Wrong Turn 6 was more of a monotonous and predictable movie. It seemed like it was just to fill in the 6th part in the series.
Wrong Turn 5 had a much stronger plot. How those cannibals take down the college students was really astonishing. First they take down the mobile communication link then melt down the power grid. Even that kill was awesome. While in Wrong Turn 6, you know already what's going to happen. Cannibals have already taken over the whole restaurant and they will certainly kill the visitors. Only curiosity left is in the technique they use for killing. Even that does not happen.
Wrong Turn 5 features some great creative tortures leading to a kill, 6 lacks it. In Wrong Turn 6 they are simply chopping off the heads, cutting throats or smashing axes, too mainstream. While in Wrong Turn 5 they use different than usual ways to kill those people, like running a guy over with lawn mower, throwing one into the grid of 1000s of volts, locking one into the drum and fry him alive and the one in driver seat was epic.
Most importantly Three Finger (Julian Richings) is not the same in Wrong Turn 6. He is the leading figure among cannibals and his older look really distinguishes him. He is just not the same without white hair and a cunning look.
In Wrong Turn 6, he is neither terrifying nor attractive rather kind of weird. Once you have seen a series of 5 movies and already know that everyone is going to die, some creative kills are very much required to keep the movie interesting for 100 minutes.
Well you may be a diehard fan of Wrong Turn 6, but this is strictly my personal opinion and you are more than welcome to disagree with me.

These days there is not a whole lot of sustainable news coming out of the Television Press Tour in Pasadena, California , but one bright spot is CBS. The network is putting its stamp, literally, on their eco-friendly advertisers.
Viewers will see the digital watermark "EcoAd" on commercials aired by companies that signed on to this "sustainable media" added value package, starting with Chevrolet, Safeway, PG&E, Sunpower, Boston Scientific, O Organics and the Port of Long Beach. A portion of the ad dollars is earmarked to fund solar panel installation, energy efficient school retrofitting, and lots of other local and national environmental and clean energy projects.
Nine months ago, CBS purchased EcoMedia, the driving force behind this advertising initiative. EcoMedia founder Paul Polizzotto cooked up the plan to use ad market dollars to fund eco projects. Now partnered with CBS, the EcoAd advertising opportunity is open to all platforms: network, local, television, radio, outdoor and online. "When an ad features the leaf, it sends a powerful message to viewers that the brand is committed to both the environment and the communities they serve," Polizzotto said in an interview.
Some eco critics are calling this CBS move "greenwash." They complain there is not enough oversight on the companies that might be an "egregious polluter or spends tons of cash lobbying against environmental laws and regulations."
Yet one environmental hero, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., offers his thumbs up: "EcoMedia's EcoAd program has been one of the best ideas I have encountered to conserve and protect our natural resources. Cities get much needed funds, communities get cleaner water, air and green spaces, and corporations can put their resources to work for the betterment of society."
At the EcoAds launch event in NYC, former New York Governor George Pataki added, "In the past, people looked at advertising as neutral. Now it can be active, and help create jobs."
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. argued, "The reason we're protecting nature is not so much for the fishes and the birds, but because it's our environmental infrastructure." Kennedy called environmental damage "deficit spending," and said renewable energy can compete "head to head" with fossil fuels, especially if you consider the externalities to society.
Check out this brief introduction of EcoAds narrated by Laurence Fishburne:
Paul Polizzotto, founder of EcoMedia, explains how EcoAds work:

The Chicagoan is staging his own mission impossible. Robinson completed the event in little more than six hours even though he was once paralyzed from the neck down. Doctors gave him little hope of recovery.
"They also said I wasn't supposed to be able to stand up. They actually said when I had my accident that I wasn't gonna live. They told my parents that. They told my mother that if I did live only one side of my body would be able to move," said Robinson.
Since that one car accident 17 years ago, Robinson has completed 11 marathons, most recently the Chicago Marathon, even though he's still considered a quadriplegic.
Robinson is constantly in training and his favorite piece of equipment is the stair master. He has worked out on the machine as much as 18 and a half hours at a time.
Fifty-six and a Vietnam veteran, he is a daily presence at the Equinox Fitness Center where he exercises toward the goals he has set for himself. One of them is to walk from New York to Los Angeles and return on a bike.
Swimming is part of his fitness routine along with challenges like climbing the 724 stairs of the Aon Building nine times.
"I feel that I can inspire people and if I can talk to people to help them change their ways, it's so wonderful knowing that God is with you, knowing that you have a purpose, knowing that you can inspire somebody that's the most wonderful feeling in the world," Robinson said.

At the top of the page, an argument is being pursued. It is a political argument; right now, it is taking up the rightward drift in Western politics since 9/11. "Next week there will be federal elections in Canada," the voice is saying, "and the Conservatives are tipped to win." In the middle of the page, the author of this argument is writing a letter to his secretary. Not his secretary, exactly–the neighbor he has coaxed into typing his notes. She is young, married, half-Filipina and crushingly sexy, the kind of woman who gives men ideas they can't get rid of. He's paying her three times what the work is worth, but they've had an argument, and she has refused to go on. "You have become indispensable to me," the letter begins. At the bottom of the page, the young woman is reporting a conversation she has had with the man she lives with. He has been tapping into her employer's computer, but not because he wants to spy on his private thoughts. He's interested in other things. Like what, she's asked. "Like his finances," he says. Her employer is old, and rich. "Like what is going to happen with his assets after he dies."
We are about halfway through J.M. Coetzee's eleventh novel, Diary of a Bad Year, and we have gotten used by now to the ways it wants to be read. The page is divided in three, horizontally, suggesting an archeological dig, or a kind of play, or the layers of the self. At the top, a writer we know at first as "Señor C" is delivering a steady flow of brilliant ideas, on the nature of political life, on the "war on terror," on the slaughter of animals–his contribution to Strong Opinions, a collection of meditations by six eminent authors. Beneath that, the writer's thoughts on his typist, Anya. At more than 70, he's too old for lust, or so he believes; the throb she evokes he calls, sentimentally, "a metaphysical ache," "diffuse and melancholy," "something to do with age and regret and the tears of things." Beneath that, her thoughts on him, far less courtly. Anya is vain, profane, contemptuous, cruel. What he calls "a derrière so near to perfect as to be angelic" she calls, shaking it in his direction, "my behind, my delicious behind." (Alan, her crude, sweaty lover, calls it, simply, her "bum.")
The structure establishes a rhythm. We read a few lines of analysis, then two bits of narrative. On each page, three voices, three perspectives, three threads of monologue, picked up and let go in turn. The art is visual as well as verbal. Ironies ricochet from layer to layer: the frustrations of political choice at the top of the page become the frustrations of sexual choice in the middle; the "gamble" of nuclear deterrence becomes the "gamble" of Señor C's offer of employment. At first, each layer is self-contained within its page, but as desires become more exigent and narrative momentum builds, Coetzee starts to violate the integrity of the structure, running first paragraphs and then sentences across the page break, forcing us to read out of sequence, make our own unsatisfying choices. A temporal friction also develops. Señor C tells one side of the story; then, pages later, in Anya's narrative, we get the things he left out. Opinions we read many chapters ago only now register in Anya's consciousness, as she types them up, and in her mocking conversations with Alan.
The young couple have no end of fun at the old man's expense. So out of date, so pompous, so transparent in his feeble lust. Alan is a business hustler who fancies himself an intellectual; Anya is sure he'd wipe the floor with her employer in debate. But what else will he do to him? By the time we get to Señor C's letter of supplication and Alan's boast about his spyware, we're worried about what these callous young people might be capable of. We've read Coetzee before, and we know the depths of indignity to which vulnerable old people can be brought, especially aging liberals who think their decency keeps them safe.

How it Works – Surrogacy
The dream of becoming a parent through surrogacy is closer than you think!
Growing Generations delivers a full-service surrogacy program that not only provides guidance through the significant moments of pregnancy, but also helps intended parents and surrogates manage the smaller events with ease and joy. From surrogate screening to pregnancy preparation, we want to be sure that you and your chosen surrogate enjoy the exciting journey of pregnancy. Read these six easy steps to becoming a parent through surrogacy.
1. Book a consult
Get the information you need to make the right decision.
The goal of the consult is to leave you informed, inspired and empowered to take the next step with Growing Generations. The 90-minute consultation is to help you understand the surrogacy process, find out exactly who our surrogates are, and discover what to expect when this process will begin. All our consults are conducted in person and take place either in our office in Los Angeles or New York, in many different locations in Europe, or through our online service. We provide consults in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Catalan.
2. Get Started
The first step can be difficult. Let us make it easy.
Growing Generations wants the beginning of the surrogacy process to be as simple as possible for intended parents. All you must do is sign and return our retainer agreement with a small initial payment. Accepted payments include U.S. bank check, domestic or international bank wire or credit card. Once this is taken care of, being matched with a surrogate is right around the corner.
Need financing? We do that, too
3. Admissions
Finding the right surrogate is what we do.
The best way to match you with the perfect surrogate is to get to know you. You will fill out a short online profile on our Client Support Site. On this site, you will be able to schedule your meeting with our Case Management Team, with whom you will go through the remainder of the process. You also have the chance to speak with our legal team to discuss the legal aspects of Growing Generations' surrogacy process. This meeting will also give you the opportunity to decide from which states you will work with a surrogate. This is also the stage in the process when we would involve an egg donor if it were necessary. Growing Generations will assist you in finding one.

4. Meet Your Surrogate
Less than 1% of applicants qualify to become Growing Generations' surrogate mothers.
Growing Generations is the only surrogacy program that will cover all costs for any surrogate that does not pass screening. This helps reduce the financial and emotional risk for both parties. Our screening process includes an extensive application, a telephone and in-person interview, psychological tests and evaluations, a medical examination by an In Vitro Fertilization specialist, drug, nicotine and infectious disease screening and a criminal background check.
5. The Medical Cycle
Where your dream becomes a reality.
Once you have been matched with a surrogate mother, you will begin funding your Growing Generations expense account for all expenses related to the process. Then you will begin the legal process and wait for your surrogate's full clearance if she has not already completed it. After you have completed the legal portion of the process, the surrogate is medically prepared for the procedure and a pregnancy is attempted several weeks later. Pregnancy results come back 10 to 12 days later following embryo transfer.
6. The Home Stretch
You are almost done.
After about 8 to 10 weeks of pregnancy, your In Vitro Fertilization specialist will release your surrogate to her personal obstetrician. As the pregnancy enters its 2nd trimester, we will begin arranging the plans for your arrival with the hospital. The long wait is over. The entire surrogacy program often lasts from 15 to 20 months and you are guided by Growing Generations through the entire process. From application to child, we provide you with guidance, expertise and support through every step.

Texas Hold'em is one of the most popular poker games. Everybody who has played poker can play this game very easily. When you have never played poker, it is easy to learn. Read more on how to play this game on this page.
Texas Hold'em is played with a standard deck of 52 cards. The cards are shuffled before each round. The Flop bet always is twice the Ante bet. The Turn and River bets are equal to the Ante bet.
In Texas Hold'em the standard poker hands are used:
The minimum bet in Texas Hold'em is 1 euro and the maximum is 40 euros. You can place bets by using the chips at the bottom right of the screen. You can choose from chips with a value of 1, 5, and 10 euros, these can be used multiple times and can be combined.
The pay table can be found by moving over the min/max sign. The pay table will then pop up and you can see all the payouts. When you win, your winnings will be shown on screen. All winnings will automatically be added to your credit.
Texas Hold'em has a number of settings that may be adjusted. You do this by using the three icons at the bottom left of the screen.
The sound can be turned on or off using the speaker icon.
The question mark opens the help screen.
The wrench icon allows you to adjust a few additional settings:
First pick a bet in Texas Hold'em by placing one or more chips in the Ante field on your screen. Now click DEAL. Then you will be dealt two cards as well as the bank. You get two options: you can stop (FOLD) and lose your Ante bet, or you play on by clicking CALL. You will make an automatic Flop bet in that case. Three open cards will be dealt in the middle of your screen, this is the Flop. The Flop allows you to complete your hand; the bank also uses these cards for its hand.
Now you go on to the Turn. You may bet again or play on without betting (CHECK). Then a fourth card will be added to the Flop.
Finally you go on to the river. Here you can also place a bet (BET) or go on without betting (CHECK). The more often you bet, the higher your possible winnings will be. Now a fifth card will be added to the Flop.
This is the final card and according to these five cards it is determined if you or the bank has the best poker hand. This is determined by the two cards in your hand and the cards on the board. You see which poker hand you have on screen. The best poker hand wins.
This was a Texas Hold'em round. You can play again with the same bet or with a new bet.

Ariel Sharon death: Israelis pay respects at Knesset
Thousands of Israelis have filed past the body of ex-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, who died on Saturday aged 85 - after eight years in a coma.
Draped in a flag, his coffin lay in state outside the parliament building in Jerusalem.
A state funeral will take place on Monday before a military burial ceremony at his ranch near Sderot.
Israeli and world figures have paid tribute to Mr Sharon but there was little sorrow among Palestinians.
Mr Sharon's body was brought to the Knesset (the Israeli parliament) on Sunday morning and his coffin was then placed on a podium in the plaza outside the building, where it lay in state throughout the day.
Prayers were said as flags flew at half mast. President Shimon Peres laid a wreath and stood in silence beside the coffin.
A steady stream of thousands of people filed past the podium. Many took pictures while others lit candles in memory of the former leader.
The number of people grew as darkness fell, with some elderly mourners moved to tears.
Ministers held a minute's silence at Sunday's cabinet meeting to remember their former leader. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his colleagues that Mr Sharon was "tied to the land and knew that it had to be defended".
A state funeral will be held at the Knesset on Monday, before Mr Sharon's body is taken to his farm, Sycamore ranch, near Sderot in southern Israel where he will be buried in a military ceremony next to his wife Lili, who died in 2000.
Tens of thousands of people are expected to accompany the coffin on his final journey, Israeli army radio reports.
Dignitaries from around the world are thought likely to attend the Knesset memorial service, including US Vice President Joe Biden, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, Middle East international envoy Tony Blair and German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier.
Mr Sharon, known as "The Bulldozer", was a giant of Israel's military and political scene, whose term as prime minister ended abruptly when he had a major stroke that put him in a coma in January 2006.
Months before his stroke, he had guided Israelis through a unilateral withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, with the declared aim of easing tensions with the Palestinians.
The BBC's Middle East editor Jeremy Bowen said he had shaped the current state of the West Bank and Israel's relations with the Palestinians more than any other Israeli politician in recent years.
He fought in Israel's war of independence in 1948, took part in Israel's invasion of the Sinai in 1956 and commanded an armoured division in the 1967 Middle East war.
In 1973, he led Israel's counter-attack against Arab armies across the Suez Canal, cutting off Egypt's 3rd Army.
But after Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982 he was found to have been responsible by an Israeli inquiry for failing to prevent the massacre of Palestinians by Christian Phalangist militia in Beirut's Sabra and Shatila refugee camps.
Palestinians have denounced him as a war criminal and in the Gaza Strip people celebrated his death.
"He wanted to erase the Palestinian people from the map... He wanted to kill us, but at the end of the day, Sharon is dead and the Palestinian people are alive," said Tawfik Tirawi, who served as Palestinian intelligence chief when Sharon was prime minister.

With the Samsung Galaxy S3 but four months old, rumours have already started to do the rounds about a sequel to the South Korean phone-maker's flagship Android kit.
Citing unnamed supply chain sources, as well as what we're guessing are some better informed sorts within Samsung, the Korea Times claims that the phone will land in February at the Mobile World Congress.
The handset is apparently set to hit retailers shortly after in March – just nine months after the release of its predecessor.
In news that's unlikely to surprise anyone on nodding terms with prevailing trends in smartphone upgrades, Samsung's new kit will purportedly pack a larger five-inch OLED screen – up from the S3's 4.8-inches - and international 4G LTE support.
An unnamed deep throat said: "Samsung wants to keep its one-year product schedule and the Galaxy S4 will be the first to match that strategy.
"The S4 will see some external changes but retain its popular rectangular shape with rounded corner concept."
News of Samsung's plans comes as it recently announced that the S3 has now sold some 20 million units, making it the company's fastest-selling phone ever.

August 29, 2012 – People and process still make up the bulk of IT security concerns, but the next few years will be marked by parallel spikes in strategy to fortify enterprise data in the cloud and on personal devices, according to a new Gartner report.
In his "Top Security Trends and Takeaways for 2012 and 2013" assessment outlined Wednesday, Gartner Managing VP Ray Wagner put the cloud and consumerization, along with poor attack prevention, as the lone "tech-based" risks to enterprise IT. Other security threats feature a technical component, but have "more to do with being able to identify practices and procedures" within the enterprise, rather than deployment and tools. And, in the instance of the cloud and BYOD, they are rising to the top of Gartner's annual review of the security landscape.
In terms of the consumerization of enterprise data, Gartner puts 70 percent of the mobile workforce operating entirely via personal "smart" devices by 2018, which Wagner says he feels may be a low-ball figure. On the security front, Wagner says the problem behind the enterprise savings and user freedom with consumerization becomes "managed diversity": different security profiles, a range of levels of trust with users and devices, and a diverse set of end points. Setting up a framework of mobile device management means asking questions on device security levels, passwords, encryption, and user disposal and awareness. Wagner adds that managing device security may involve acquiring virtual machine technology or new access portals for at least some transactions.
As more enterprise operations and projects move into the cloud and as-a-service offerings, Wagner says IT security concerns should increasingly play out around finding the protection behind what is being bought and the risk level with the information being deployed. There are more enterprise controls over large-scale data center deployments, for instance, compared with a SaaS solution, though the risk and backup involved with that data also varies. Where it's increasingly tricky for enterprise IT security officers rests in about half of the cloud security decisions that are murkier in terms of oversight and accreditation, Wagner says.
"This is where you have to decide whether to trust and how much to trust that internal [cloud security] service. You may need to use a third-party or some custom assessments, and there seems to be more work to do," says the security analyst, adding that full, enterprise-level cloud assessment standards are as far as five years off.
As a whole, the 10 top security trends moving into the next year are, in no order of importance:
- Network security/security markets
- Data security
- Security monitoring
- Consumerization/mobility
- Identity and access management
- Cloud security
- Business continuity and disaster recovery
- Privacy
- Information governance and IT security
- Security program maturity
To take new or further action on these items over the next six months, Wagner recommended mapping key indicators into business KPIs as well as establishing processes for estimates on the life cycle and effectiveness of security controls. Over the coming 12 months, CIOs, CROs and CISOs should develop a long-term strategy for continuous security improvement and deliver an executive reporting scheme that addresses security needs to a business audience.

Rihanna stopped by "The Ellen Show" to tape an upcoming appearance that airs on Monday. She donned one of her pre-Holiday gifts in a special Ellen Snuggie, and talked about the type of men she likes to date.
Rihanna dished about loving an aggressive man saying:
"I like men that are more aggressive but mysterious but I like a man to be very sure. I like them to be sure of themselves and know that you're the man. I'm the lady and the only way for us to make this work is for us to play our roles. You know, I can't really be the man for you. I don't want to have to be. I'm the man at work all the time."
The episode airs this coming Monday in preparation of the Talk That Talk album dropping Tuesday.

Judging from the promotional signs, downtown Ottawa is about to get a little piece of Manhattan.
Adami: 'Cesspit' at downtown condo site irks neighbours
Judging from the promotional signs, downtown Ottawa is about to get a little piece of Manhattan.
Maybe that really is the plan when the condominium tower, to be called the Bowery, at Gloucester and Bay streets, is finally erected by Richcraft Homes. But right now, the property — a huge hole partially filled with icky, discoloured water and supported by beams and boards, and littered with garbage around the perimeter — looks more like a little piece of Detroit.
"Condominium living with a distinctly New York vibe," says one sign. "It's about people. It's about synergy. Bout time," says another.
It's about time Richcraft began building the Bowery, say its would-be neighbours, who have had to endure that "cesspool" or "cesspit" since late 2012, when the property was excavated. They are not a happy bunch, especially as the warmest months of the year approach. They say the water — residents wonder how deep it is — is a breeding ground for mosquitoes. It also stinks, says Christina Lanno, whose second-floor apartment overlooks the hole. She says she won't open her windows because of the stench.
Others worry about safety as the security fencing straddles much of the edge of the excavation and looks precarious in some spots. Residents say separate sections of the fencing blew over onto the street last winter. Some cars were damaged, they say.
Mark McLauglin, manager of the Crystal Arms apartments on the northeast corner of Bay and Gloucester, says the excavation must worry parents. "If I was a kid, I'd be there in a heartbeat," he says.
Why the hole was dug before construction was ready to proceed also bewilders residents. There's not much room between the excavation and neighbouring properties, including the May Nickson Place apartments, owned by Ottawa Community Housing, on Gloucester.
Rob Rosenfeld has a bird's-eye view of what he refers to as a "downtown lakefront property," from his seventh floor balcony in a condominium building on Laurier Avenue West. "As mosquito season approaches," he wrote in an email to the Citizen, "residents around Bay and Gloucester look forward to another year of taking their kids to the lake to cool off."
McLauglin says he is having a hard time renting units on the south side of the Crystal Arms that faces the dormant construction site. One prospective renter told him the view made her think of "a ghetto." McLauglin says another woman who looked at an apartment there told him she bought a unit at the Bowery, and was livid to find out recently that the condominium building might not be ready for occupancy for another four years.
"There's no information from (Richcraft)," says Rosenfeld. "Every time somebody calls, they refuse to answer questions.
Rosenfeld wishes Somerset ward Coun. Diane Holmes got more involved in the issue. Her office did not respond to my requests for comment.
Richcraft was not filling up buckets with information for The Public Citizen, either. A story in our Homes section last fall said Richcraft was forced to redesign the project, dubbed the Edge when it was introduced in 2012, due to disappointing sales. The planned 18-storey, 248-unit Bowery Condos and Lofts, apparently borrows designs from Bowery Street on Manhattan's Lower East side.
"We're marketing the project, hoping that sales continue and we can proceed with construction," Richcraft planner Kevin Yemm said this week. "But until we get the right number of sales, we won't proceed. That's as much as I can tell you."
"We're hopeful to move forward with the project when we reach our target."
As far as the safety of the site is concerned, Yemm said: "We're maintaining the fence to the city's standard, and the city has found it acceptable to this point, so we're conscious of keeping a safe perimeter." He says the company has not received any complaints from the city about potential hazards to passersby.
The city visited the site Thursday following Citizen inquiries. "(Richcraft) was alerted of the condition of the fencing and has taken or is about to take steps to correct the displaced panels," says Arlene Grégoire, director of building code services, in an email.
She also says Richcraft will again this summer be installing a "bubbler" — a device that stirs the ground and storm water to prevent mosquitoes from laying eggs.
The view may not be all that bad from his balcony, admits Rosenfeld. On a recent morning, with the sunshine shimmering off the water and a few ducks putzing around in it, Rosenfeld says his fiancée described it "as kind of pretty."

BAGHDAD --At least 30 people were killed and more than 100 were injured Thursday in a series of bombings in Baghdad and other cities in Iraq.
Iraqi officials said extremists launched 12 attacks in the capital and in the cities of Kirkuk, Samarra, Baqouba, Dibis and Taji, sparking the first deadly attacks in nearly a month.
Half of the bombs struck at security forces and government officials - two frequent targets for insurgents still seeking to undermine Iraq's efforts to normalize after years of war and violence.
An Iraqi military spokesman said there was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the attacks resemble those carried out by al Qaeda.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Watch Will and Jaden Smith Do a Father-Son Version of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Rap
Bonus: DJ Jazzy Jeff and Carlton were there too.
During a visit to the BBC's The Graham Norton Effect to promote the new father-son film After Earth, Jaden Smith joined dad Will to perform the iconic, titular theme song from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Bringing the performance full circle, the former Fresh Prince also brought along his original sidekick, DJ Jazzy Jeff — and, later on, Fresh Prince co-star Alfonso Ribeiro (better known as Carlton Banks) to do his signature dance to a cover of Tom Jones's "It's Not Unusual." This was, of course, a major crowd-pleaser — and not just because fellow Americans Bradley Cooper and Heather Graham were watching from the couch. After all, we already knew that the Brits very much enjoy The Fresh Prince, probably because they are human.

Myth Buster in SQL
1) Check constraint is a perfromance booster.
2) When you are using nested transaction, Once you rollback the main transaction everything will be rolled back(even if you have committed the inner one).
3) The sequence how triggers fires is : i) Action ii)Trigger iii)Rollback
4) Though we are using clustered index, still physical and logical order of placing data is different.
5) Truncate statment also keeps log, not delete only.(Common Interview question)
6) Got to know that SQL Server also believes in GHOST. The records marked for deletion are cleared up by Ghost Cleanup.
For more details you have to visit Vinod's blog http://www.extremeexperts.com/ or http://bdotnet.in
@msigeek Vijay raj displayed the way Microsoft Installer can be used and how it helps in packaging and easy install. He showed us the microsoft client profile configuration designer and gave us nice tips and tricks.

Leonard Cohen: A Poet for My Generation
In My Life
Emotional pain never heals as quickly as physical pain. A broken heart may never heal, whereas a broken arm has a definitive healing period. Getting over the sorrow felt by the death of a loved one may never occur as many people take the scars of such an event to their own demise. There are many who still longingly remember their first love as the one that didnt work out and fantasize as to what might have been. Emotions associated with your heart have been studied and written about for years with little agreement as to how to cure a broken heart.
For those of us who came of age in the 60s, the music at that time was extraordinary, filled with new bands of musicians and poets. We were treated to lyrics that in some cases we didnt quite understand, but at the time thought we really did know what was being said. To go along with the music, we were treated to philosophers, writers, charlatans and poets to help us navigate through the murky and unsettled waters of those times. Poetry readings at coffee houses in places Greenwich Village and Berkley were as common as seeing bands at the Village Gate in NYC and the Troubadour in L.A.
One such poet/philosopher whose works became the derigueur to any self-respecting young citizen of the 60s was The Prophet authored by Khalil Gibran. The Prophet, written in 1923 was a series of philosophical essays written in English prose. If you didnt have a copy of this publication in your possession as a teenager in the 60s, unless you purchased a copy, you could undoubtedly expect it as a gift from one of your friends. It was described as inspirational fiction.
In addition to all the new bands that were exploding on the music scene, a Canadian born poet and fiction writer named Leonard Cohen released an album in 1967 called Songs of Leonard Cohen. The album was released prior to Cohens first trip to the U.S. where he hoped to carve out a career as a folk singer. The album, masterfully produced by John Simon showcased a man whose lyrics would become the anthem of a generation. While the songs on the album were not considered mainstream (top 40 playlist), in spite of this, Cohen was immediately embraced by folk music aficionados throughout the world. Contained within the album were the complete lyrics of all the songs. This lyric sheet took its place proudly on the book shelf within a close proximity to The Prophet.
Prior to releasing the 1967 debut album, Cohen was a popular writer in Canada. Although he wrote folk songs at the time as well, he made no attempt to record those songs. He was introduced to popular folk singer, Judy Collins who was so impressed with is work that she recorded Suzanne," "Sisters of Mercy," and "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye" which appeared on her Wildflowers and In My Life albums. Judy continues to make Leonards songs an integral part of her recording and performing repertoire to this day.
Over the years since the release of his first album, Leonards songs have been used as themes for many motion pictures. His songs have been sung by a wide variety of artists. One of my favorite albums is the 1986 release by Jennifer Warnes, Famous Blue Raincoat on Cypress Records. Ms. Warnes sings nine Cohen songs and Leonard guests on Joan of Arc.
Given the success and public appreciation of Leonards songs that were sung by other artists, the 1967 debut on Columbia Records was released. Today, over 40 years after that release, Cohen enjoys universal appeal and adoration from his long-standing fans and his many new ones. My wife and I along with a full house of Leonard Cohen fans were treated to an evening with Leonard Cohen and band this month on a fittingly rainy night at Merriweather Post in Columbia, Maryland.
Dressed in a crisply fitted suit and fedora, Leonards voice was in deep and rich form as he ran though his hits, chatted with the audience, introduced his incredible band more than once and looked adoringly at his collaborator and backup singer, Sharon Robinson. (By the way, the 2001 Cohen release Ten New Songs prominently features Ms. Robinson as co-writer, singer and producer. It is a gem of an album!)
This tour is the first one Leonard has done in fifteen years. As is the case in concerts of this nature, the fans that have seen him many times in the past, have come to see him yet again. I met a guy at the concert who last saw Leonard Cohen in Dublin in the 70s. Each member of the band contributed solos and was so incredibly talented that each one could have given their own concert. Of particular interest were the performance of two of the backup singers, Charley and Hattie Webb, sisters also performed a version of the psalm-like "If It Be Your Will" that was amazing.
At the beginning of many of the selections, Leonard begins by kneeling down on one knee as he runs though the opening verses of the songs. The three hour concert contained one intermission, a series of encores that continually delighted the crowd and a prayer at the end with the nine band members and Cohen holding hands in a circle.
As the concert continued, I was swept up in his mellow voice that sounds like a person who has smoked his share of cigarettes and yet it was a voice of calmness and serenity exploring everyones inner feelings that encompasses a range of emotions from pain to exultation. It came back to me why Cohen was such an instant hero to the folk scene in the 60s who first heard this poet from Canada. He is primarily a poet and an author. He is also a songwriter than blends all of his writing skills. Cohens poetry evokes emotions that most poets/songwriters can only touch on a surface level.
At one point in his life, Cohen entered a Buddhist monastery. He stayed there for five years. In that time, he further explored his inner feelings. You truly know that he understands the human condition and as you listen to the lyrics, you truly know that he is your guide and that he understands your feelings.
Leonard Cohen was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year.

CARSON CITY — Nevada Coin Press No. 1 is like its volunteer operator, Ken Hopple: Both just keep going and going.
"Give it a little grease and keep up with the repairs and it will last forever," said Hopple of the antique press in the Nevada State Museum that on Friday manufactured the first of the 1,000 silver medallions commemorating Nevada's 150th birthday celebration.
The Morgan and Orr press made coins way back in the 1870-93 period when the U.S. Mint operated in Carson City. Those coins carried the numismatic-cherished "CC" mint mark. The mint building since 1941 has housed the Nevada State Museum.
At a six-medallions-a-minute production rate, Hopple made the first medallions in front of crowd that included Gov. Brian Sandoval.
At 68, Hopple still is a full-time tool and die maker in Reno. He spends the last Friday of each month running the press to make state medallions and to talk to schoolchildren about coin-making, coins and their history.
His fee: One of each medallion that he makes.
"My work is basically like a donation to the museum," Hopple said.
Not only did Press No. 1 make coins — at a 100-per-minute rate — in the Carson City Mint, but it also went on a long road tour to work in the mints in Philadelphia in 1899-1945 and then to the San Francisco Mint, 1945-55. It was manufactured in 1868.
It was destined for a salvage lot in San Francisco until a smart mint worker noticed it had a Virginia & Truckee Railroad plaque, a plaque placed on it when someone in the historic Carson City railroad yard repaired it in 1878.
Because of his intercession, the press was returned to Carson City — for $255 — where it was put on display in the state museum until 1964.
Then U.S. Mint Director Eva Adams, a Nevada resident, requested the press be put back in service at the Denver Mint. Three years later, after making 188 million more coins, the press was returned to Carson City. Since then, it has been making state medallions.
"It's like old cars; it is built to last forever," said Hopple, who talks about the press as if it were a friend.
One question he receives from every batch of school kids he meets is, "Have you ever lost a finger?"
Nope. Not as a press operator or as a tool and die maker. The press uses 160 tons of pressure to make the silver medallions.
"There wouldn't even be hamburger left," he said. "It just would be gone."
Hopple is a coin collector himself, with quite a few Carson City coins in his collection. He also has Egyptian coins dating back to 225 B.C., which sell for $25 to $35 each, but aren't very attractive. Each emperor had his own coins, coins that were made in the millions. In those days, screw presses were used to make coins. Children were used to move the coins in and out of the presses.
It wasn't until about the 15th Century that design and press techniques were advanced enough to make attractive coins, he said.
His first piece of advice for any new collector is never clean a coin. That immediately will diminish its value.
The most medallions Hopple has made in a day is 535.
But that was with three people feeding him material. He ended up physically beaten. Now he limits his work to about 250 a day. So he will be working a lot to keep up with the demand for state medallions.
The silver medallions sell for $100.50 each, while copper medallions — made at the private Northwest Territorial Mint in Dayton — go for $15.
While most people refer to the medallions as coins, the U.S. Constitution prevents states from making any form of money. So call them medallions.
That doesn't mean the medallions don't have value. The 1-ounce silver medallions contain about $22 worth of silver. And Hopple has noticed on eBay that many of the medallions he has created now sell for more than their original prices.
As for the sesquicentennial coins — with the state seal on one side and a state map with "150" stamped on the other — Hopple doesn't think they are up to a high enough standard. He hopes that the Sesquicentennial Commission takes more time and uses more imagination in the designs of the three other 150th anniversary coins that it will create over the next year.
He said the state treasurer's office did it right in 2005 when it held a contest to select the design of the state quarter. People picked a design of wild horses running across the desert. The U.S. Mint made the Nevada quarter in 2006 as part of the 50 state quarters program.
Hopple became the operator of Press No. 1 by his tool and dye skills.
In 2002, the old machine broke down. State Archaeologist Gene Hattori knew of his background and asked him to make a part to fix the press.
"I made the part and fixed it. He said 'How would you like to run it? You run it, you break it, you fix it.'"

About Daley
Gareth Daley, or known as Daley is a unique, UK singer songwriter and artist. Daley hails from Manchester. His diverse sound rooted within Neo-soul, Pop and R&B, infused with Ambient / Experimental vibes. He first began in 2010 he featured in the Gorillaz's smash hit "Doncamatic" taken from their re-release of Plastic Beach. The song charted at 37 in the UK and became Daley's first song to enter the charts. Daley performed the track in BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge on the 20th of November.
LMFM Says:
Image isn't anything, however, it sure does help. Making stupendously soulful music is one thing, but if you can accompany this with a haircut that is nothing short of mind blowing then you are onto something. Daley just did a killer pop track with Jessie J and this track alone is enough for us to back him as one of our shortlisted artists to watch in 2013. Watch this space, do not blink!

Film critics don't see the funny side
A clip from Sallah Shabati, the most successful Israeli film ever
Israeli film critics can be sanctimonious and snobby. Yair Raveh (reviewing two new 'Mizrahi' films for Fathom) thinks - with good reason - that the critics are out of step with the rest of the film-going public. But not all films featuring Sephardim/Mizrahim illustrate a debate, a chasm or the 'plight' of immigrants from Arab countries in Israel and their 'shabby' treatment by the Israeli establishment. The films are popular because the immigrant characters are figures of fun. Quit being so sanctimonious, Yair: Sephardi/Mizrahi audiences are laughing at themselves. My comments in italics:
To outside observers who learn about Israel by reading the international press, Israel's society often seems to be torn apart by conflicts – political, national, financial and religious. Stories abound of the rifts between left and right, rich and poor, Jews and Arabs, Orthodox and secular. But, whisper it quietly, those who live in Israel or read the alternative press know of a larger chasm: Israel is ethnically torn between Ashkenazi and Sephardic Jews.
You exaggerate, Yair! There is no chasm. Ethnic boundaries are melting away: a fair proportion of Israelis are hybrids and in another generation or so the boundaries will disappear altogether.
The Ashkenazim are the Jews who emigrated to Palestine from Europe, the Sephardim from Arab or North African countries.
(And what about the Mizrahim?- ed )
Although immigration from Arab countries was continuous from the late 19th century, the largest waves of immigration by far between 1881 and 1949 were from European countries. These Eastern-European Jews founded the state of Israel: indeed during the first 20 years of Israel's existence, cabinet meetings were held mostly in Yiddish. Then, in the 1950s and 1960s, a huge wave of Jewish immigration from Iraq, Morocco and Yemen changed the face of Israeli society. Both were traumatised, each finding it near-impossible to build bridges to the other's mentality.
Israeli film-makers have always dealt with this ethnic conflict. Ephraim Kishon, Israel's greatest satirist, directed Sallah exactly 50 years ago, in 1964: a comedy that pits a Sephardic newcomer against the members of the Kibbutz, all of them European, who try to shake his 'barbaric' ways and turn him into a 'modern Israeli'. This was Israel's first Oscar nominee; it won the Golden Globe, it made Chaim Topol, who played the titular role of Sallah, into an international star, and it still holds the record for being the most successful Israeli film ever (with 1.3 million admissions at a time when the Israeli population was no more than 2 million). Audiences admired the film and returned to see it again and again, but the critics despised it, and called it vulgar and racist. Sallah cemented the way the East-West culture clash would be dealt with in Israeli cinema for several decades: popular comedies of manners, all admired by the crowds, all loathed by critics.
Hard cheese to the critics
And so it continued: every time a film portrayed the hardships of the North African immigrants, the public wanted to see it, while the critics warned of stereotypical images. Slowly, though, it became clear that whenever a film critic (usually an elderly Ashkenazi male) screamed 'racism!' he was really hiding his own racism. From Sallah to Avi Nesher's Turn Left at the End of the World 40 years later, the maladjustment of the Moroccan Jew drew huge crowds while the intellectual elite frowned.
Yes, those films were directed by European directors. So, now, 50 years after Sallah, as more and more stories about the hardships of immigration are being made by the sons and daughters of those immigrants, has the critical reception changed? No, they are still not embraced by the critics.
Today, thanks to the internet, the debate about Israel's ethnic divide is louder than ever. On Israel's version of Big Brother heated arguments are expressed about the inherent prejudices upon which the State of Israel was founded. The resentment has been leveraged into a political stance: that the State of Israel discriminates against anyone who is Arab, whether Jew or Muslim. The hit TV drama Empire Zaguri is also stirring things up: the mainstream critics frown on its use of ethnic stereotypes to represent a conservative Moroccan family; their accents and traditional rituals still seem out-of-place to critics searching for a modern and European society, while other commentators – younger, mostly Sephardic – applaud the courage of the series in presenting a traditional family in all its colours, from the elders who still cling to the language and rituals of yesteryear, to the youngsters who feel repulsed by the backwardness of their parents, but are simultaneously drawn to it. Though it is enhanced for comedic effect, Empire Zaguri is actually an authentic representation of the series creator's own family and childhood.
And now, two new Israeli films portray the plight of Moroccan and Iraqi immigrants, as told by their offspring, moving the debate to the movies.
Orange People, written and directed by Hanna Azoulay-Hasfari, is one of the more exciting and mesmerising films produced in Israel this year, despite its minuscule budget. It begins in a Moroccan village in the 1950s and ends in the present-day outskirts of Tel Aviv, where one elderly woman tries to preserve the family's ancient gift of telling the future, foreseeing it in a narcoleptic dream. Her daughters and granddaughter – who all have orange skin due to the secret ingredient the mother adds to her couscous – try to forge their independent ways as women in a male society and as Sephardim in a society where traditional rituals are regarded as backward. Astonishingly shot by Assaf Sudri (who was also the cinematographer on Fill the Void) this is a ravishing and sensual tale of ethnic and gender emancipation. Depressingly, upon its release, quite as though absolutely nothing had changed, Azoulay-Hasfari read the first reviews of her film in the mainstream media and discovered that she had made a 'vulgar' film and that her characters were 'slutty' because they embraced the traditions of their mothers.
Come off it, Yair. Ethnic and gender emancipation? Don't you think the film is rather an entertaining satire on Sephardi superstition?
The Dove Flyer (or Farewell Baghdad, as it will be called internationally) is an old fashioned movie directed with earnest and straightforward intention by veteran filmmaker Nissim Dayan, who returns to our screens after a 30-year hiatus. Proving once and for all that Israeli audiences thirst for stories about the nation's past that were previously hushed up, The Dove Flyer is the first box office hit in Israel in 2014. Mr Dayan adapted Eli Amir's bestselling novel about the conflict in Iraq in 1951 between the 'modern' Zionists who collaborated with the newly-founded State of Israel in the airlift of all 130,000 Iraqi Jews to Israel, and the traditional Jews who preferred to remain in their homeland, where a Jewish community had thrived in exile for 2000 years, where the Babylonian Talmud was composed, and where Babel, later Iraq, was the biggest centre of Jewish life.
Yair, you have misunderstood the film. It is not about the 'conflict' between modern Zionists and 'traditional Jews who preferred to remain in their homeland'. In the end, Abu Edouard the Dove flyer, who epitomises the latter, is forced by antisemitism to leave, along with the Communists and Zionists. The film is about how Arab antisemitism presented the Jews of Iraq with impossible choices.
It's a handsome, though thin melodrama, but as a graduate of the Israeli education system, and as an Israeli born of Eastern-European roots, I can see its power: here is a history lesson no one had ever taught me. And for over 100,000 ticket buyers, The Dove Flyer isn't just a history lesson; it's an overdue declaration of independence.
Poppycock. If there is one thing lacking in this film - an action movie - it is history.

I don't know where Raveh learned history. His review is very sloppy on several historical facts. He says that the State of Israel was created by Ashkenazim, whereas about 1/4 of the Jewish population in the country was Sefardi/Mizrahi before the War of Independence. They too fought in the underground movements, in the Palmahh, and the Israeli army. Ben Gurion appointed David Shaltiel as commander in Jerusalem and Ezra Yakhin and Geula Cohen were prominent in the LEHI [Stern Group].
Then Raveh claims that early cabinet meetings were held in Yiddish. Does he have any documentation for this? On the other hand, it might well be that cabinet members sometimes told jokes in Yiddish but they were committed to promoting Hebrew as the sole national language for Jews. Bekhor Shitreet was a member of the first cabinet as was another person who was Sefardi or Mizrahi. Yits'haq Navon, later president of Israel, was a close associate of Ben Gurion. It cannot be ruled out that either Shitreet or Navon or both knew Yiddish. I know a Yemenite lady who grew up in Israel before the state. And she speaks Yiddish well. So non-Ashkenazim too knew Yiddish. Nevertheless, the claim about Yiddish as THE language spoken at cabinet meetings seems very dubious to me and I would like documentation.

It's funny that this review is picked apart because it's clear the reviewer shares the views of the blogger, making the blogger seem extremely petty.

Sony Announces New PS3 Exclusive, Rockstar's "Agent"
Today at E3, Sony's Jack Trenton announced a new exclusive PS3 title to be developed by Rockstar North, the folks behind the highly successful and critically acclaimed Grand Theft Auto franchise.
Right now details are few and far between with the only real thing we know is this little tidbit out of Rockstar. Agent takes players on a paranoid journey into the world of counter-intelligence, espionage and political assassinations during the height of the Cold War at the end of the 1970s. The word coming out of Rockstar and Sony is that they feel the title will shake up the gaming industry the same way that GTA did when it was first released. More details as we get them.
