Q: What does the Limited Lifetime Warranty mean?
A: Our watches come with a limited lifetime warranty in the USA. This will cover the inner working of the watch such as the movement, dial, sub-dials, markers, hands, and other mechanical components inside the case against any material defects over the lifetime of the watch. It does not cover the outer components of the watch, which include the crystal lens, metal mesh bands, leather straps, metal bracelets, exposed crystal elements, crown, and other embellishments. The warranty does not cover damages (including water damage) that are a result of poor care, accidents, or normal wear and tear.
Q: Do I need to sign up for the warranty to be activated?
A: No, you will not need to sign up for the warranty to take effect. When you receive your watch, you will receive a little Obaku warranty booklet with either a stamp or signature on the last couple pages of the booklet. This verifies the warranty.
Q: What should I do if my watch has been damaged or if there is a problem with the watch?
A: If a problem occurs with your watch, please contact our customer service line at (704) 899-5250 or email at firstname.lastname@example.com. You will need a copy of your receipt and/or dealer stamp or signature found on the inside of the warranty booklet that was sent with your watch.
Q: I bought an Obaku watch in the USA, but I do not live in the USA anymore and I need to contact someone to report that my watch is damaged. What do I do?
A: Please visit our link for distributors to find a distributor in your area: www.obaku.com/distributors. If you have a distributor in your country you can contact them and they will be able to help you. If you do not have a distributor in your country, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com and you will be directed to the proper distributor or department that can help you.
Q: Is my watch waterproof or Water Resistant? Can I go swimming or diving with my watch?
A: All Obaku watches are either 3ATM (30 meter) or 5 ATM (50 meters) water resistant, not to be confused as being "waterproof".
Obaku watches are classified as fashion watches that are resistant to contact with water and can be used when washing hands or wearing in the rain, but cannot be used for swimming, diving, or other activities that require regular repeated water submersion.
ATM water resistant rating is a measurement of the amount of atmospheric pressure a watchcase is resistant too during a static test, or series of static tests, and does not measure the effects of repeated submersion of the watch at various depths. It is not correct to say 3ATM means that a watch can be taken down to a depth of 30 meters below the surface of the water. It is also important to note that you should never take your Obaku watch into a hot tub or sauna as hot water and steam can also affect water resistance.
Check the case backing of your Obaku watch to see the water resistance rating. Please avoid going into pools and the ocean with your watch as they have high levels of chemical compounds such as chlorine and salt that can speed up the oxidization process of ion-plated (IP) color watches, most notably rose gold IP watches.
Regarding leather strap watches, we recommend that you keep the leather clean and dry. Our leather straps are genuine calf leather. Leather has several tiny pores like human skin and is not waterproof. Continual submersion of leather in water over time will cause the fibers to break down and the leather to become week and break apart. Please follow care instructions for your watch.
Q: I ordered a watch online and haven't received it yet. How do I find out the status on the delivery of my watch?
A: Orders usually take as much as 4 business days to ship out after they have been placed, unless you request the order to be expedited. We will provide you with a USPS or UPS tracking number to track the delivery of the package depending on the shipping carrier you requested in the order. You can track your package on www.usps.com or www.ups.com depending on the carrier used for shipping. If you have questions regarding your order (including shipping details), you can contact us at (704) 899-5250 or email us at [email protected].
Q: When will my items be shipped?
A: We will ship you package once the payment has been accepted. Please note that we only ship orders during regular business hours, Monday through Friday from 8:30am to 5:30 pm Eastern Standard time (EST). All orders placed over the weekend will be shipped the following Monday.
Q: What payment types do you accept when I place an order online? What payment types do you accept if I call to the USA office to place an order?
A: We accept the following payment options online: VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Discover Card. All payments are done through PayPal to ensure that all sensitive information that you give us is private and safe guarded.
If you call in and place an order, we accept all major card payment types mentioned above. We also can accept U.S.A. bank check or money order (we do not accept foreign checks). If you pay with a U.S.A. bank check or money order, your order will ship the next business day after your payment is deposited and posts to our bank account.
Q: What is the inspiration behind OBAKU watches?
A: The inspiration comes from a philosophy of blending the two different traditions of simplicity found in the European and Asian cultures.
Q: Will my watch give me an allergic reaction if I have a nickel allergy?
A: No, all of the metallic components in our watches, including the ones that are plated are hypoallergenic and nickel safe.
Q: What are the watch specifications of Obaku watches?
A: We use high quality quartz (battery operated) movements made in Japan. The movements we use are Miyota (Citizen), Seiko, and Ronda. Most of the movements in our collection are Miyota. The majority of our watchcases and bands are made of 316 surgical stainless steel and 100% hypoallergenic and nickel safe. We also offer titanium watches that are strong, lightweight, and 100% hypoallergenic and nickel safe. Our leather bands are genuine Italian leather. Select ladies styles have genuine mother-of-pearl dials. All crystals on the dial and bezel are Swarovski elements. Select styles for men have carbon fiber or sunray effects on the dials. The crystal lens is a hardened minimal crystal that undergoes a special hardening process to help resist against being scratches of cracked. This does not mean that the crystal lens cannot be scratched or cracked.
Q: How should I care for my watch?
A: When you first take the watch out of the box, please remove and discard the small clear plastic tab that is under the crown of the watch. The tab is easy to pull off and must be removed before you can set the correct time and functions on the watch.
Maintenance and cleaning: Avoid contact with chemical compounds that might damage your watch. Chemicals, solvents, or greases may discolor or damage the casing and wristband. You can use pure water and only cleaning solutions that we recommend to clean your watch. Use only cleaning cloths that do not have chemical treatment on them unless we advise otherwise (no silver cleaning cloth or the like). Do not immerse your watch in water. Avoid any violent impacts and avoid wearing a metal bracelet on the same wrist as your watch to prevent scratching or damaging your watch. Avoid exposing your watch to extreme environmental conditions such as strong direct sunlight, extremely high temperatures, or extremely low temperatures. Extreme temperatures will shorten the life of the battery in the watch.
Bracelet watches: Direct contact with sprays such as hairsprays, perfumes or certain detergents may cause damage to your watch.
Leather straps: Leather straps deteriorate at different rates depending on the wear and tear they are put through; climate conditions such as heat and humidity; acidic and oily skin conditions, and as a result to constant exposure to water. To ensure your leather strap lasts as long as possible, take the following precautions:
Batteries: If your quartz watch stops working, have the battery checked as soon as possible. A dead battery may cause damage to the movement if left inside the watch too long.
Q: How do I clean my watch?
A: You can use one of the following solution options to clean the watch metal and crystal surfaces:
You can use the following supplies to clean your watch with the solutions mentioned above: cotton swab, microfiber or similar soft non-abrasive cloth, "fine" nylon pad/sponge, soft bristle toothbrush, or soft bristle nailbrush.
Whatever cleaning supplies you choose to use, either dip or moisten them with the solution you have created. Gently wipe or scrub the case, crystal lens, metal mesh strap, bracelet, and clasp clean. Be careful not to put too much stress on the crystal lens as you clean. Avoid immersing the watchcase, crystal lens or crown in the solution, regardless of the water resistance rating. Wipe dry.
We suggest that you use a soft bristle toothbrush or nailbrush to clean crevices where dirt, grime, and oxidization build up in areas of the watch like the metal mesh strap, bracelet and clasp. It is often hard to clean these areas thoroughly using cloth or cotton swabs alone.
To clean leather straps, we suggest that you dampen a soft cloth with water and wipe the leather strap clean on both sides (avoid poring water directly onto the leather strap). You may want to use leather cleaner, leather conditioner or a small amount of hand lotion to keep the leather clean, soft and supple over time. Top grain leather may develop a milky 'haze' if left alone for extended periods. This can simply be wiped away or removed with leather conditioner. A product called "nubuck eraser" can be used to remove light stains and debris from the inside of the strap. As with any other leather goods you may own, it is good to keep leather from constantly getting wet. Proper care along with regular cleaning and/or conditioning will extend the life and look of the leather strap.
Q: What type of color plating is on my Obaku watches and how do I clean it?
A: The color is applied to your Obaku watch using an Ion-Plating (IP) process. All watches in gold or black are coated with a titanium coating that is the newest and most advanced technique for long lasting coating. The gold coating is a mixture of titanium and gold that is bonded with the stainless steel base metal through a fusion process in a vacuum chamber.
A regular question we get about ion-plated (IP) watches is how to properly clean them and take care of issues that arise like oxidation of the metal. Oxidization is common in yellow and rose colored IP watches. This occurs when a patina forms on the surface of the watch discoloring the watch, usually turning lighter colors like yellow and rose gold brown or black. Rose gold color IP watches have the highest tendency to oxidize similar to how silver metal tarnishes; this occurs due to the copper elements used to create the unique rose tone color of the watch. You will also find this in many other fashion watch brand that use rose gold color IP plating. Oxidizing happens at different rates depending on how high the levels of humidity are in the area were the watch is being worn; regular wear and tear on the watch; constant contact with water (especially water with high levels of salt such as ocean water); exposure to different chemicals such as chlorine, household cleaning chemicals or other acidic, oily and abrasive substances. It is important to regularly clean your gold IP Obaku watch as oxidation is normal and will reoccur over time. Please refer to our cleaning instructions to learn how to clean your IP Obaku watches.
Q: How do I close the clasp on of my mesh strap watch?
A: To close the clasp, first you will open the security hinge. The security hinge is the metal piece that does not have the Obaku logo on it. The opposite mesh band on the other side of the watchcase has a metal hinge on it with an Obaku logo and inside the hinge is a metal hook. Place the hook onto the bar of the opposing clasp and add tension, pushing the hinge down and locking it into place. You will hear a click when it locks into place. Now close the security hinge on the opposite side over that hinge you just locked down. You will hear a second click when the security hinge is locked in place. The primary function of the security hinge is to act as a back up to lock the clasp in place on the wrist if for any reason the main hinge unlocks. When you hear two clicks, one with the first hinge and a second with the security hinge, you have the clasp locked in place.
Q: How do I adjust my mesh band?
A: Obaku mesh bands are easily adjustable. Simply insert a small flathead screwdriver or similar tool into the clasp. On the top of the clasp, you will see a pivoting arm (pivoting level) on the clasp that is locked down in place against the mesh strap. In the middle of the pivoting arm is a rectangular notch. Insert the head of the screwdriver into the notch in the arm, making sure not to bend the metal pin that holds the pivot arm in place. Simply lift up at a 45-degree angle the pivot arm of the clasp. Once the pivot arm is unlocked, the clasp can be moved up and down the mesh strap to the desired position. Make sure the clasp is set in one of the indentations on the back of the mesh strap. This will require you to turn the watch over to see the indentations where the clasp guide (metal bump) fits into as you adjust the clasp up and down the mesh strap. Snap the pivot arm of the clasp securely into place by pressing down, applying pressure. You will know when it is in place because the guide will fit easily into the indentation as you press the pivot arm down and it will be easier to lock it down when it is lined up. You will hear a click or snap when it is locked in place.
Q: What type of battery do you use in the watch? What is the average life of an Obaku watch battery? What are indications that my battery is running out of life?
A: The battery we use in Obaku watches has an average life of three years. We use an environmentally friendly battery called a "SPRON" battery, which is a silver oxide battery free of mercury and lead. Your Obaku watch comes with a SPRON battery, but the watch can also use ordinary batteries bought over the counter at a grocery stores.
It is important to note that the battery life will be reduced if you bought the watch and it has already been operating when you purchased the watch. You don't know how long it has been running in the store where you purchased the watch. Our watches come with a rubber gasket around the stem, below the crown that prevents the crown from being pushed down to activate the operation of the watch. If the rubber gasket is still in place when you purchase the watch, then chances are the retailer has not activated the battery. The rubber gasket acts as a protection to ensure that battery life is maintained prior to you purchasing the watch.
If you expose the watch repeatedly to high temperatures such as leaving it in a car on a hot day, over time this will reduce the life the of battery in the watch. Constantly starting and stopping the operation of the movement by pulling out and pushing in the crown can also cause loss of Battery life.
The first indication that the life of your battery is running low will be when it no longer keeps proper time and starts to loss time. Functions such as the chronograph also function slower. If you see the second hand skip several seconds at a time, this is a battery end-of-life indicator (EOL). Many people accidentally take this as a sign that the movement in the watch is bad and not working properly when in fact it is only indicating to the wearer that the watch battery is dying. Watches with the EOL feature have electronic circuits that detect when the battery voltage is getting low. Their circuitry makes the second hand move forward erratically to alert the wearer that it is time to replace the battery. Installing a new battery should restore the second hand to advance normally.
Q: What do I do if the battery in my watch has died?
A: If the battery in your watch has died, please take it into your local jeweler or watch repair store to have the battery replaced. You can also contact our customer service line at (704) 899-5250 or by email at email@example.com. We can either direct you to a local authorized repair store or we can handle your request to change the battery in your watch. We charge $5 USD plus shipping for a battery replacement service.

The price of gold is roaring back from its latest temporary correction, sending the bears into full withdrawal. If you sold your gold in December as it fell to $1525 an ounce, you're probably feeling foolish at the incredible $210 rise to $1735-- a 15% move in no time at all.
Gold, you see, is not a commodity like oil and copper and wheat. It is rather an alternative currency-- one that finds buyers when paper currencies like the Euro are being hugely increased in supply by the ECB to forestall a sovereign cum bank crisis in Europe. There's $650 billion in European bank and sovereign debt coming die before March 31, 2012 which can be sopped up by the $650 billion gift from ECB to the banks at the bargain rate of 1%. And more available from the European central bank-- Europe's very own Quantitative Easing program.
As the supply of gold cannot keep up with paper money(supply increases very little despite exploration), and it can be bought without loss of any real interest income, it seems clear t hat the gold bull market is alive and well. Central banks obviously are of the mind that gold's rise will make up for t he decline in paper money and the lack of income on central bank liquid investments.
Then, too, the speculators already dumped 42% of their long positions between August and December, 2011 according to the High-Tech Strategist, a January 5, 2012 market letter by Fred Hickey that I strongly recommend. Hedge funds sold to meet redemptions. Hot money ran at warnings by technicians.
The truth is that the drop to $1525 in December triggered the renewed buying by the Chinese, who are the new incremental buyers in the world. The Chinese prefer to buy on weakness and not compete with the central banks of Russia, Korea, Thailand,Singapore and are buying to hold.
Zhang Jianhua, the research bureau director of the People's Bank of China, was quoted in the POBC internal newspaper as insisting that "The Chinese government needs to further optimize China's foreign exchange asset portfolioi and seek relatively low entry points to buy gold assets."
Gold, apparently, is the Chinese priority for a "safe haven" when slow economic growth leads to widespread monetary easing and fears of ultimate inflation. Gold more than stocks or bonds or real estate, is obviously seen as the preferred way to store wealth. In that sense the Chinese are way ahead of the US and Europe.
After all its moves in 2011 gold was still up about 11%-- more than stocks any place, and only beaten by 10 year US treasuries. Treasuries at 2% aren't viewed as a reserve currency. Gold is the hottest currency in the world. Just ask the Chinese.

Austrian photographer and diver Andreas Franke has created a hauntingly beautiful series of images called "The Sinking World" in which he layers studio photographs over underwater ship wrecks. In 2009, the USS Vandenberg was lowered into the ocean off the coast of Florida to serve as an artificial reef. When Franke encountered the ship while diving, he was inspired by the vessel's haunting emptiness. For the Vandenberg project, Franke superimposes photographs of recognizable, everyday scenes; the studio figures appear ghostly, as if they are re-enacting scenes that previously took place in a lively atmosphere. The empty ship becomes a site that reveals snapshots of a lost, surreal world, discovering the humanity that lurks among the ships hallways, passages, and decks. Franke creates an unexpected dream world where a viewer is pulled into a strange, new, and fantastical place.
This sunken ship not only provides the setting for Franke's superimpositions, but also serves as a gallery where divers can swim up to Franke's work, viewing his photographs in the very place that inspired his images. From the project's website,
"The pictures engender extreme polarities: the soft, secretive underwater emptiness of sleeping shipwrecks is paired with real, authentic sceneries full of liveliness and vigor, thus creating a new world, equally bizarre and irresistibly entangling…
These spectacular underwater galleries make divers fall under their spell and display the work of the ocean itself. During the weeks and months under water the ocean bequeaths impressive, peerless traces to the pictures. It adorns them with a certain, peculiar patina, endowing them with the countenance of bizarre evanescence and transfiguring them into rare beauties."
Franke has also created two other series of shipwreck images using period piece studio photography, as opposed to the everyday activities of the Vandenberg project. For the SS Stavronikita shipwreck, Franke superimposes photographs of people dressed in clothing and participating in activities evocative of Rococo. For the USS Mohawk, a WWII shipwreck, Franke imagines what life on the ship might look like, and creates a series of images in which the sailors have returned to haunt the ship. (via slow art day)

It barely seems like yesterday since Aisha Tyler had #girlwood, Sony fired shots across Microsoft's throat, Mega Man arrived in our Smash Bros and we saw the most excited man about Peggle 2, but it's almost time for it once more!
On June 12th, The Electronic Entertainment Expo returns to the Los Angeles Convention Centre, a scant hundred days from now. A lot has changed since then, with the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 joining the Wii U in the 8th Gen arena, and the launch or imminent launch of most of the games previewed or announced at the show.
Last year I watched all five big presentations (Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA and Nintendo) and it was great riffing over it with some friends. Perhaps we, as TAY, could do similar this year thanks to the marvellous modern technology that is IRC. Something to think on closer to the time when we know more about the schedule.
For now though, with one hundred days left what are you hoping to see at E3? What would you hate to hear announced? What thoughts stick with you from last year's convention, and what are you going to be keeping your eye on?
For me, with a 3DS and a Wii U, I'm going to be watching Nintendo and Ubisoft closely. The latter has shown stronger support for the Wii U than other third party publishers, but will the delay on Watch_Dogs change that? How will Child of Light do on the system?
As for Nintendo itself, by that point three of their four big first party games would have launched on the console (Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8), so I think we'll see a release date for Super Smash Bros, as well as release dates for Bayonetta 2, Sonic Boom, a more tentative date for Monolithsoft's next game and Hyrule Warriors, and information on SMT x Fire Emblem. I think we will also see more indie game announcements, building on that section of their Direct video last year.
The Big N are going to have to bring their A-game to E3, and it remains to be seen if they will combine a return to stage presentations with other Nintendo Directs over the course of the event. I know what I'd like to see from them, but those who hope are more easily disappointed.
With games coming out for the PS3 in 2015, I think we'll not see any change in Sony's PS3 policy but perhaps Microsoft might. The last of the current crop of cross-generation games should be out by then, so I'm not sure if we'll see any 360 exclusives.
I predict a release date for Mirror's Edge 2 from EA, which is the main title from them I have any form of interest in.
I may go into more detail on my Nintendo predictions in the comments, but for now do like the site name and talk amongst yourselves.
(Oh, and say it with me...)

Rise in the disposable incomes of consumers and improving housing market is thereby driving the demand for mattresses. High quality mattresses are gaining popularity among wealthier consumers who are looking for health related attributes such as back pain and environment safety factors. Innovations in the comfort such as pillow top bed and intelligent mattresses are expected to spur the growth of high quality mattresses. In addition, sleep is being considered as one of the crucial necessities owing to the hectic life experienced by the present generation. This emphasizes the consumers to pay higher price for superior mattress which adds to the growth of this market and the trend is expected to continue over the forecast.

At only 7 kilometres from the Kenyan capital, Nairobi National Park has a savannah teeming with wildlife and a wonderful view of the Nairobi skyline. The collection of wildlife is really impressive. The park is home to the world's largest number of the almost extinct black rhinos, as well as buffalos, lions and zebras.
The park entrance is only a 15-minute drive from Nairobi. Although the park literally borders onto the backyards of some houses, you may still be able to spot 4 of the Big Five on a safari. The only animal of the Big Five you will certainly not encounter is the African elephant. Although Nairobi National Park is very compact and one of Africa's smallest wildlife parks in terms of space, it is still home to at least 100 species of mammals and 400 species of birds: a wonderful spot to take some beautiful photos.
The national park is enclosed by gates on 3 of its 4 sides so the wildlife is free to leave the area. The zebras and wildebeests migrate every year around July and August – a truly spectacular sight. In addition to the enormous variety of mammals, the park is also home to approximately 400 species of birds. Around 20 of those migrate here every year from Europe.
The actions of poachers have caused several animal species, such as the Western black rhino, to become extinct in recent decades. Together with other countries, Kenya has called for a halt to poaching: in 1989 the Kenyan president burned 12,000 pounds of confiscated tusks. The historic Ivory Burning Site Monument near the main entrance of the gate commemorates this event. Other burnings have occurred since then. Although poachers are still active, Kenya's elephant population has been growing steadily in recent years.
In 1979, the now-deceased Jock Leslie and his wife Betty opened their house to care for a young Rothschild's giraffe. This giraffe subspecies, identifiable by a brown-yellow pattern up to its knee, had almost become extinct; the remaining population was estimated at just 120 animals. The couple's calling grew into a giraffe conservation centre south of Nairobi, where, to this very day, newborn giraffes are cared for until they are able to live independently on the savannahs.

Self-reported consumer spending is a new behavioral economics measure based on the individual reports of a random sample of Americans. The focus is on consumer discretionary spending, including on basics such as gas purchases at the pump and more optional impulse purchases online or in stores. Excluded are routine spending, including the consumer's monthly bills, and big purchase items such as automobiles and housing.
By tracking consumers' reports of how much they spend on a daily basis, investors can monitor not only overall discretionary spending trends, but also the impact on Americans' spending patterns of everything from the day of the week to special events.
Gallup's self-reported Consumer Spending measure is a real-time indicator of Americans' discretionary spending. The behavioral characteristics of this new measure provide early and unique insights into how consumer spending is responding to various changes in the business environment.
Further, the spending measure provides estimates on a continuing basis, giving an early read on what the government eventually reports for retail sales roughly two weeks after the close of each month. Overall, Gallup's behavioral-based spending measure allows business and investment decisions to be based on essentially real-time consumer spending information.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — As if Los Angeles Lakers fans around the world weren't nervous enough, now comes word, per The Los Angeles Times, that Kobe Bryant has left the country for an undisclosed medical procedure and will return in a few days.
In the absence of details, which at this time are sketchy at best, people will be left to their own imaginations to figure out what is going on. But the good news for Bryant and the Lakers is that whatever the procedure is, it has nothing to do with the Achilles injury he is recovering from.
For this news to drop a day after Bryant was on the court shooting at training camp makes you wonder what exactly is going on. Is it his knee again? Or the ankle? Did he head to Germany for another Orthokine procedure that he's had done on both the knee and ankle in the past?
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni told The Times that the procedure is "no big deal," and that since Bryant wasn't close to seeing full action in camp that his absence doesn't disrupt anything:
"He knew he had time because he's not getting on the court yet," D'Antoni said Thursday. "I don't think it caught anybody by surprise. Instead of doing it in August, he's doing it now. There's no concern whatsoever."
D'Antoni's words will reassure some. But with the Derrick Rose injury saga from last season fresh on people's minds, not to mention the news from earlier in the week about the second surgery Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star point guard Russell Westbrook needed for the torn meniscus in his right knee (which will keep him out of action for 4-to-6 weeks), a little nervousness is warranted.
The Lakers don't have any room for error this season. Getting Kobe back sooner rather than later, and Kobe playing like nothing ever happened, was surely the hope. Now comes this mysterious departure from training camp for what D'Antoni insisted was a "planned" procedure, will no doubt raise eyebrows around the league.
It should.
Injury news in recent years, particularly to some of the game's biggest stars, has tended to come with some crushing results for those involved.
But until we get more details, all we can do is take D'Antoni at his word and assume that Kobe's off for some routine maintenance on a 35-year-old body with tons of mileage on its engine.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
According to Lebanon's Al-Manar TV, the Jews are taking over Hollywood, and by extension all of America. According to the Hezbollah-owned station, the Jews seek to rule public opinion in the US through the invention of movie characters such as Superman and other popular superheroes.
In a feature aired last week, Al-Manar alleged that all of Hollywood, in fact, is a Jewish invention created with the nefarious purpose of "taking over the world's greatest power, controlling all aspect of her daily life and harnessing it in service to Jewish interests all over the world."
According to the Hezbollah mouthpiece, American Jews felt rejected and so are trying to change American public opinion by inventing movie characters to serve as role models.
To strengthen their assertions, Al-Manar spoke to a Professor Farroukh Majidi, who argued vigorously that the most dangerous thing in the world is the culture of the Jewish people, which contaminates the whole world through movies and television shows featuring heroes inspired by Jewish figures. The world, Majidi warned, must be wary of the intrusion of Jewish culture and fight against it.
Jacob Hagouel, head of the Department for Combatting Anti-Semitism at the World Zionist Organization, said in response:
"Anti-Semitism continues to raise its head in the Arab world. It is now 2014, but the messages we are hearing are straight from the eve of World War II. Whole generations of viewers are being raised on systematic anti-Semitic propaganda."

The students of the Hope College chapter of the national Delta Omicron music honorary society have honored Dr. Huw Lewis of the music faculty with induction as a Chapter Patron.
Lewis, who is a professor of music and college organist, received the honor on Friday, Nov. 2, as a surprise during a ceremony held in conjunction with an organ and orchestra concert in which he was performing in Dimnent Memorial Chapel at Hope.
The college's Alpha Chi chapter of Delta Omicron nominated Lewis for the award for the way that he represents the national organization's mission of supporting excellence in music and musicianship.
"We nominated Dr. Lewis for this honor because we as a chapter felt he takes the ideals of Delta Omicron to heart and represents them to the students at Hope College," said Tyler Racey, a senior from Ludington who is the chapter's secretary. "He desires for his students to attain the highest possible achievement as musicians and embodies them himself as a scholar and performer."
It is the first time that the college's chapter has nominated a Chapter Patron since the chapter was chartered in November 1972. The nomination was approved by the Board of Directors of the national organization, which was founded in 1909 and consists of students of music and professional musicians. The Hope chapter consists of 17 student members and the group's faculty advisor, Linda Strouf.
Lewis has been a member of the Hope faculty since 1990, and his tenure has included service in the past as chair of the department of music. In addition to playing for all formal college functions, he teaches organ and theory.
He previously spent 16 years as director of music at historic St. John's Episcopal Church in Detroit, where he also founded and directed the St. John's Bach Society. He also served as choirmaster at Temple Israel in West Bloomfield.
Lewis performs nationally and internationally on a regular basis, and has been featured at important meetings and conventions sponsored by many professional organizations including the American Guild of Organists and the Royal College of Organists.
He was a featured recitalist at the 1987 International Congress of Organists. His playing has been broadcast in America and in Great Britain where he has made numerous recordings for the BBC. He has served on many competition juries, most recently for the 2003 Dallas International Organ Competition.
Born into a musical family in Wales, Lewis studied at the Royal College of Music in London, at Cambridge University, and at the University of Michigan. While a student, he received numerous prestigious scholarships, fellowships, and prizes.
The concert on Friday, Nov. 2, was presented as part of the college's annual Parents' Weekend and also was the fifth and final performance of the 2007 Skinner Organ Rededication Series at Hope. The concert featured the world premiere of the "Concerto for Organ and Orchestra" written by Benjamin Boyle through a commission from the college to celebrate the recent refurbishing of the historic organ.

'Simon Boccanegra' by Giuseppe Verdi is an opera about an ideal of freedom that cannot be realised, neither in the private sphere nor in society at large. Verdi paints an incomparable portrait of the loneliness and self-doubt of the political potentate and the man. A darkness that Verdi sublimely underscores in this musical tour de force with deep orchestral sounds.
Simon Boccanegra is an opera with a prologue and three acts by Giuseppe Verdi to an Italian libretto by Francesco Maria Piave, based on the play Simón Bocanegra (1843) by Antonio García Gutiérrez, whose play El trovador had been the basis for Verdi's 1853 opera.
TheĀaction unfolds inĀGenoa andĀits surroundings inĀtheĀ14thĀcentury.ĀTwenty-five years pass between theĀprologue andĀActĀI.
PrologueĀA square inĀGenoa.ĀPaolo andĀPietro discuss who should be theĀfirst Doge of Genoa. Paolo wants it toĀbe Simon Boccanegra, theĀcorsair who has freed GenoaÆs sea territory from African pirates.ĀBoccanegra is aĀplebeian, andĀhis election should put an end toĀtheĀpower of theĀpatricians.ĀSimon appears. He agrees toĀPaoloÆs entreaties toĀbecome the Doge with reluctance: he has no need of authority, but he hopes that inĀbecoming theĀDoge he can marry his beloved Maria. Her father, theĀpatrician Jacopo Fiesco, does not approve of her marriage toĀaĀcorsair andĀkeeps his daughter under lock andĀkey.ĀPaolo andĀPietro convince theĀassembled crowd toĀelect Simon Boccanegra as theĀDoge.ĀMaria has died. Jacopo Fiesco accuses Simon, theĀfather of her child, of his own daughterÆs death. Off-stage theĀchorus laments Maria.ĀBoccanegra asks Fiesco for aĀreconciliation. Fiesco is ready to forgive Simon if theĀlatter will surrender FiescoÆs granddaughter to him. But this is impossible: theĀgirl disappeared recently.ĀSimon enters FiescoÆs palace andĀsees Maria dead. At the moment theĀcrowd greets theĀnew Doge of GenoaĀ¢ Simon Boccanegra.
Act IĀUnder Simon BoccanegraÆs rule theĀaristocratic Fiesco and Grimaldi families are exiled. Jacopo Fiesco has taken refuge on theĀGrimaldi estate under theĀname of Andrea. BoccanegraÆs daughter Maria is also there under theĀname of Amelia Grimaldi; no-one knows of her true birth.ĀAmelia awaits her beloved, Gabriele Adorno. Amelia knows that Gabriele andĀAndrea are preparing aĀrevolt against theĀDoge andĀasks Gabriele toĀabandon this dangerous plan. TheĀDoge arrives at theĀestate; he plans toĀask for AmeliaÆs hand on behalf of one of his retainersĀ¢ Paolo. Andrea blesses theĀmarriage of Gabriele andĀAmelia and tells Gabriele that Amelia Grimaldi is an orphan.ĀTheĀDoge pardons theĀGrimaldi family andĀpermits AmeliaÆs brothers toĀreturn toĀGenoa. InĀresponse Amelia tells the Doge about herself andĀadmits that she has aĀbeloved.ĀBoccanegra recognises her as his daughter Maria. Amelia is delightedĀ¢ at last she has found her father.ĀBoccanegra tells Paolo that his marriage toĀAmelia is impossible. Paolo is unwilling toĀaccept theĀDogeÆs will andĀplans to abduct Amelia.

Act IIĀA room inĀtheĀDogeÆs palace.ĀPaolo is obsessed with aĀdesire for revenge: he adds poison to aĀdecanter lying on theĀDogeÆs table. Pietro brings inĀGabriele and Fiesco.ĀPaolo suggests that Fiesco kills theĀsleeping Doge, but he refuses to be part of such aĀdirty piece of work.ĀPaolo convinces Gabriele that Amelia has become theĀDogeÆs lover, gives him aĀdagger andĀslips away.ĀAmelia appears. She tries toĀexplain that his jealousy is misplaced, but Gabriele does not believe her. TheĀDoge enters and Amelia hides Gabriele on theĀbalcony Amelia tells her father that her beloved inĀGabriele Adorno, the leader of theĀresistance. Boccanegra promises toĀpardon Gabriele if theĀlatter repents. He drinks theĀpoisoned water and falls asleep.ĀGabriele wants toĀkill theĀDoge though Amelia tries toĀprevent him.ĀTheĀDoge awakes. Realising that Amelia is BoccanegraÆs daughter, Gabriele repents andĀswitches sides in support of theĀDoge.ĀTheĀrevolt again approaches theĀpalace.

As promised, head coach Tim Vom Steeg and his staff delivered.
The two-time National Coach of the Year indicated that he would add to an already announced, highly talented 2013 recruiting class. Today, the team is excited to announce the addition of a German Youth National Team member and an attacking, forward-thinking midfielder to a deepening lineup.
Versatile defender Paul Ehmann will join the Gauchos has one of the most experienced International players to enter the program. A former member of the German U16 and U18 National Teams, Ehmann has competed for TSG 1899 Hoffenheim in the U19 Bundesliga – the premier youth league in Germany.
"Adding a player Paul's ability and maturity level to the program will not only pay immediate benefits next year but will be somebody that we can build around for the next 4 years," said Vom Steeg.
Ehmann, who plays defensive midfield and center back, was highly sought after by ACC and Pac 12 institutions as well.
Midfielder Gonzalo Gelso comes to UCSB from perennial national junior college powerhouse Barton CC in Great Bend, Kansas. Last season, the Argentinian born, Florida raised Gelso earned All-Conference, All-Region and All-American honors from his midfield position.
"Gonzalo brings a physicality and toughness to our midfield without sacrificing skill or possession," Vom Steeg says. "This is a rare combination and a component that we have been missing in the past couple of years out of our midfield play."
Ehmann and Gelso will compete for time alongside All-Conference midfielder Fifi Baiden and Freshman of the Year, Ema Boateng in the midfield along with newcomers Drew Murphy and Nick DePuy.
Gaucho fans should look for 2013 season tickets to go on sale in May. The full schedule has not been released yet, but home opponents will include Stanford and the always packed and competitive Blue Green rivalry game with Cal Poly.

Tor Embroiled in $1M Revenge-Porn Lawsuit
Jul 9, 2014 5:26 PM PT
Texas attorney Jason L. Van Dyke recently filed a lawsuit against nude-photo-sharing site Pink Meth and included the Tor Project among its defendants.
Pink Meth is an "involuntary pornography" site, the suit charges, enabling users to post nude photos for the purposes of getting revenge on those pictured. It's accessible only to users who have downloaded Tor's anonymity-minded software.
The plaintiff named in the case is University of North Texas student Shelby Conklin, allegedly a victim of Pink Meth's service who was caused mental anguish and loss of earning capacity as a result. The suit seeks damages of "at least" US$1 million.
Though the suit was filed in mid-June, it didn't draw public attention until Van Dyke alluded to it on Twitter this week. The attorney -- who bills himself as "quite possibly the meanest and most right-wing lawyer in Texas" -- then published a press release on the topic on Wednesday.
'I Don't Think Tor Should Be Legal'
So-called "revenge porn" websites have drawn increasing attention over the past year or so, including inspiring new legislation against it in Israel and Germany, along with several states in the U.S.
It's the inclusion of Tor, however, that has generated the bulk of the controversy in this case.
"Just wondering if you're aware that suing @torproject is like suing an automaker because their car was used in a bank robbery" is one comment that appeared Tuesday on Twitter, for example.
"I'm a lawyer -- I have no idea how Tor works," Van Dyke told LinuxInsider. "The reason they were included is that, based on what we saw on the Pink Meth site and the Tor site, it appeared they were a hosting service."
Pink Meth's home page bills the site as "a Tor Hidden Service that allows you to post anyone's nudes and info, anonymously (thanks to Tor), and without the fear of being hit with a phony lawsuit, or any legal repercussions for that matter."
Van Dyke has since spoken with Tor's attorney, however, and now concedes the service may not be liable after all.
"It appears they don't actually maintain any servers, don't actually host any content, or provide any services to anybody," Van Dyke said. "What they may do is distribute open source software that allows someone to access something" without having any control over the material being accessed.
"Once we verify that they're not helping Pink Meth, we will dismiss them," Van Dyke said. "I personally don't think Tor should be legal, but the court is not the place to decide that."
'They're Merely Acting as a Conduit'
Pink Meth had a different take.
"There's not much to say -- the whole lawsuit is ridiculous," said an anonymous respondent to a query LinuxInsider sent to the email address given on the Pink Meth site.
Van Dyke "has stated that: a) we've hired Tor to help us with the publication of Pink Meth; b) the Tor Project endorses Pink Meth; and c) we're hosting child pornography," the respondent added, calling all three claims "completely unfounded."
Late last month, the operator of a Tor server was given a three-month suspended prison sentence by an Austrian court for abetting access to pornographic images of minors.
"To top it all off, he hasn't even taken the time to read the Tor manual and try to understand how Tor and its hidden services work," the Pink Meth respondent noted. "He's asking Tor to stop supplying us any and all Internet-related services, which they're not. They're merely acting as a conduit -- nothing more, nothing less."
Van Dyke also is asking ICANN to ban "all domains with the 'pinkmeth' keyword, even though most have been taken by cybersquatters and have no relation to us," the respondent added. "That's probably the strangest request directed at ICANN ever."
Bottom line: "He had no legitimate reason to include the Tor project in the lawsuit," the respondent said.
The Tor Project declined to comment for this story.
'A Valuable Anonymity Tool'
The Tor Project is not liable for the acts of its users, Kurt Opsahl, deputy general counsel with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, told LinuxInsider.
"It is a software product that provides a valuable anonymity tool for online communications, and should be no more liable than any number of tools, from Web servers to email clients, that may be used or misused by third parties," he added. "Alleging a conspiracy is not sufficient to create liability where there is none."
Indeed, "it is definitely a novel approach to add a conspiracy theory linking to an organization that simply provides tools that have many perfectly legal uses," said Clay Calvert, a professor and director of the Marion B. Brechner First Amendment Project at the University of Florida. "Without anything more to go on than the fact that the Pink Meth site specifically touts Tor as protecting it, it's really a stretch."
Most likely, Van Dyke's real goal was simply to conduct discovery and learn more about Tor, Calvert told LinuxInsider.
"Sometimes," he added, "it's referred to as a fishing expedition."

ACK is a very fluid company (pun intended!) and we have new products coming in constantly. Part of my job as the company photographer is to keep the site updated with photos of our new products. I was born and raised in Texas and even though I love this place, I've suffered in the Texas heat enough and I don't even think about camping in the heat, but with cooler weather comes camping season. Now that lows are in the 60s, my mind often wanders to camping and we've recently added a few products that will make the trips easier for everyone.
The market is flooded with fire starters and its hard to cut through the crowds and know what to look for but InstaFire makes a solid fuel fire starter that works and it works well. I got the chance to try this stuff out because I had to photograph it in use. It was so simple. I photographed it on fire on concrete and as soon as I put a lighter to the fuel, it lit quickly and stayed lit. When I was finished taking photos, I stomped it out with my boot and it stayed out with no flare-ups. It lights and burns in the wind and is water resistant and it dries out wet wood quickly. It is made from a blend of recycled wood, paraffin wax, and inert materials, burning "green" which means it contains no harmful chemicals and can be used as a fire starter or as your solitary fuel source. We carry it in packs of three which would be good for a short trip and we also offer two and four gallon options so you can stock up.
Let's face it: it is becoming increasingly difficult to cut the cords completely and escape from all electronic devices. While we'd like to just get away from it all and escape everyday life, that might not always be the most practical option, so where do electronics fit into the great outdoors? With Goal Zero's line of personal solar panel products you don't have to leave the electronics at home when you venture out into the wilderness. The Guide 10 Plus Adventure Kit is what you need if your tablet, smartphone, or e-reader is making the trip with you. Away from the world's plugs, the 7 watt solar panel and four rechargeable batteries can handle those smaller devices you just can't live without. I love to use the maps function on my smart phone when I'm out hiking and if I'm going on an extended trek, I'm definitely bringing the kit with me so I don't have to constantly worry about conserving battery life on my phone. You can charge the batteries off the solar panel and then use the battery charger to re-juice your devices OR use the 4 AA batteries in a battery powered device OR plug your device into the panel directly. The pack charges in 3-4 hours so you could charge the batteries before you go on a hike or a paddle and come back to plenty of juice. The whole thing comes with a couple of handy adapters and the panel itself folds up to about the size of a novel so it won't take up much of that crucial pack space. We also offer several options that could accommodate more or less depending on your specific needs.

In some places in Ireland there are housing developments that stand like lonely sentries, waiting for people who never come. Valérie Anex's series "Ghost Estates, Ireland, 2011" captures these eerie non-residences and their all but unused communal spaces.
The National Institute for Regional and Spatial Analysis NIRSA defines a ghost estate as a development of ten houses or more in which fifty per cent or less of homes are occupied or completed. In October 2010, according to official estimates, there were 2846 ghost estates and more than 350 000 vacant homes throughout the Republic of Ireland.
Even completed and populated these estates would be odd Stepford-like places, with their rows of identical buildings spreading across the countryside. Lived in, though, they would adapt and change, influenced by their residents. Landscaping, additions, a new front door color— eventually the sameness of the buildings would subside. Empty, though, the monotony is numbing. Anex's photos are stark and documentary in style. The repetition of the house forms, a superfluous real-life copy and paste, benefit from their pragmatic composition. Anex doesn't rely on fancy tricks or filters to evoke the paralysis of these places—the empty eyed windows and rubble-strewn lawns become increasingly disturbing with each image in the series.
These empty shells are eyesores for the locals in these small towns. The crisis is affecting the country – unemployment, debts, budget cuts, flights of capital investments – but it is also shaping its landscape. Bitter memories left by the spectral and temporary nature of the property boom in Ireland, ghost estates are the symbol of the property market's collapse, a topology of the economic disintegration of the country.
There are some residents in these ghost estates, though Anex has chosen not to include them in her photos. Tana French's chilling 2013 novel, Broken Harbor, is set in such a place. In that book, madness and murder and awful fear take place among the mostly empty and unfinished houses of an Irish ghost estate. Looking at these photos, it doesn't seem a stretch. It can't be comfortable to live in such a place, with unfinished houses and absent lives. (via Slate)
