Dear Madame Pregulman,
It occurs to me that sometimes you must wonder about the who, the where, the how and the why. I will attempt to explain each one. First however, thank you for your support so graciously given and gratefully accepted.
I am Rachel. I was born in Krakow, Poland in 1930. Quite obviously, this was NOT my decision to make. Had it been, rest assured I would have chosen a different time and place. I know live in Pennsylvania, in what must be a corner of paradise. I have lived in many countries and cities, but it seems that the last part of my life will be spent in a serene, safe and beautiful area. Weather wise, it too is meaningful to someone who has frozen in climates that were not meant for people who were unclothed and starved.
I am an American citizen, and have spent fourty six years of my life in New York. In 1992 my husband and I emigrated to Canada for expedient reasons, where we also, became citizens. In 2013 we returned to the Unites States in order to be near our daughter and her family. Especially so, because my husband had never been well after the first heart attack and remained a cardiac patient.
I have never been well since the Holocaust. I do not remember a day in my life without enduring unbelievable pain. Usually resulting in a surgical procedure. My Medical C.V. reads like a book. Yes, the Holocaust has left me a something to remember. This, plus the scars on my body. Sometimes, when I awake in the morning, in pain, I wonder to myself whether this is the way for the Almighty, to remind me that I am survivor. I lived when Millions died. WHY? I do not accept "Bashert". I would be happy not to have been accorded "KAVOD" but this too, once again, was not my choice.
Thank you, et al at "KAVOD" for the noble work you do.
Please know how much I appreciate KAVOD's trust in me, as the care manager of the survivor clients. Because of KAVOD's trust in the JFS staff, KAVOD does not requests multiple explanations and lots of paperwork before the survivor clients can receive financial assistance.
Hi Amy,
I apologize for not keeping you posted on all the gratitude from our clients recently who have received gift cards through KAVOD. The two with the social security issues were overwhelmingly appreciative and really didn't know how they were going to manage immediately. The one with the enormous dental bill was grateful beyond words. The one with the large prescription drug copays said she didn't know how to express how grateful she is for your kindness. The one with the very large medical/hospital copays because they don't have Medicare was moved to tears. I always include a KAVOD brochure whenever I deliver the cards so they may know more. You and KAVOD continue to make an enormous difference in Holocaust survivors lives .
Thank you so very much.
Kind regards,
I would like to thank KAVOD on behalf of my mother for the Target Gift Card. We received it from Jewish Family Service and it is most appreciated. The Jewish Family Service has been a Godsend for our family and without their guidance and support, I don't know how we could have kept mother in familiar surroundings with caregivers that help take care of her. KAVOD provides a Mitzvah for Survivors and for all your work there is a special place in heaven for you all .
Hello dear Amy and John!
Thank you very much for your dedication to Jewish history and real attempt to preserve at least in the pictures what is left from the generation of Russian Jewry! I admire your persistent and patience by taking so many pictures and all that with the friendly smile! I like my picture! Considering – I'll be 87 years" young" at November 15 – not bad!!! Thanks for the generosity.
I survive Holocaust, but my Grandparents and all relative who left in Odessa – was killed by German. It was not simple to escape… My childhood ended at 1941 when the war start. And the antisemitism after we came back to Odessa and Stalin was in fury by the fact that some Jew survive…
I'm telling you all that to prove the good job of yours to make me look as you did! Wish a lot of interesting meetings and success at every step of your Honorable deed!
Best wishes and great respect

There could be (although in this case probably are not) many schema associated with the same namespace. There are multiple versions of xhtml for example 1.0 strict, 1.0 transitional, ... xhtml5, ... so multiple schema each served from different URI but all for the namespace http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml > is represented by another resource having a different format, and > that this situation can be handled naturally in web architecture by > serving the resource in different formats. In this case the namespace and a schema are clearly two different things so having different URI is a good thing. But even when they are more plausibly different representations of the same resource viewing them as distinct resources at different URI has many advantages. Probably you never care whether you get png or gif image so putting both at the same URI and allowing the browser to take whichever works well, but if you put (say) a json and xml and text representation at the same URI and leave it to content negotiation to pick whichever, then you can't for example have a simple web page linking to all three and let the (human) reader decide which to follow. More or less _everything_ is more complicated if you do that. > >> >> In fact while serving different representations at the same URI >> and relying on content negotiation to send the right one has some >> uses in restricted circumstances, it also has many drawbacks, >> notably it makes it very hard to talk about the URL (or to be sure >> what you will get if you request it). > > You can be sure if you request it with Accept: application/foo that, > if it is available in that format, you will receive it in that > format. Yes quite, so an atom reader can just get atom for example but as noted above you can't make a simple web page that says get the html version from  here  and the json version from  here  unless you put the two versions at different URI. Note that while html's a element does have a type attribute it may not be used for the purpose of making two distinct links in this case. It essentially has no effect whatsoever. http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/links.html#attr-hyperlink-type says > User agents must not consider the type attribute authoritative — upon > fetching the resource, user agents must not use metadata included in > the link to the resource to determine its type In other words if you put an xml and html version of the schema at the same URI it is virtually impossible to link to the schema from a web page as the browser will always take the html version. > > Obviously, servers have a preferred format in the absence of a > requested format, and browsers are somewhat hard-coded to prefer > html, so you are right in the restricted circumstance of a browser, > that it is sometimes useful for a 'view-source' type of experience. > When you access an XML (application/xml) representation with a > browser (which doesn't have an xml-stylesheet PI), you get the > default stylesheet rendering of that resource, as you described to me > in another thread. > > But, XML is designed to be consumed by programs apart from browsers.

BASSETERRE, ST. KITTS, December 28, 2018 (PLP PR Media Inc.) — Prime Minister and Minister of National Security Dr the Hon Timothy Harris, who was on Wednesday December 26 morning among the thousands who turned out for J'ouvert, has hailed the activity as a very good experience.
"The experience has been a very good one," said Prime Minister Harris who, in company of the Hon Ian Patches Liburd, was stationed at the Old Treasury Building in downtown Basseterre where hundreds of revellers stopped by to hug him and pose for pictures with him. "Persons clearly enjoyed themselves very well, including the tourists. It was a fantastic day."
Cognisant that J'ouvert activities were brought to a premature end due to some unwelcome behaviour exhibited by a few unruly revellers, the Minister of National Security observed that the police had acted in the most commendable manner to ensure a smooth flow of events and hailed the Police High Command for updating the public in a timely manner.
"I want to commend the police officers for doing their part in maintaining the peace within the country," said Dr Harris. "We hope that as we continue throughout the carnival, there will be even stricter observance of the peace within the country and that everyone will play their part to maintain the highest level of security."
Among the hundreds who stopped to greet the Prime Minister at the Old Treasury Building was the Resident Ambassador of the Republic of China on Taiwan His Excellency Tom Lee, and Mrs Lee. Many who came to greet and congratulate the Prime Minister expressed that it was the largest participation of J'ouvert they had experienced in recent years.
Prime Minister Harris and Minister Liburd left the Old Treasury Building and proceeded on to Back to Basics Bar in Port Zante, where proprietor Mr Cecil Rock made a public announcement welcoming the Prime Minister. The bar was packed with local revellers and tourists from three cruise ships that had docked at Port Zante.
The ships were RMS Queen Mary 2 with a capacity of 2,695 passengers, Norwegian Gem with a capacity of 2,394 passengers, and the Carnival Sunshine with a capacity of 2,642 passengers.
A number of English tourists who were on RMS Queen Mary 2 were overjoyed to meet a Prime Minister who was so humble and who went further and agreed to pose for pictures with them. Dr Harris did not disappoint any one of them including the locals some of whom were heard saying "he is my Prime Minister please take my picture with him."
As the tourists were being entertained by a local band, 4-Play, Minister the Hon Ian Patches Liburd added spice to the mix by taking up the mike and rendering the song Feliz Navidad to the wild cheers of the revellers especially the tourists who could be seen dancing to the beats. Later Mr Cecil Rock rendered the song 'It is crying time again'.
"J'ouvert morning crowd are just progressively getting bigger and bigger, it is getting better and better," said Hon Liburd, who is the Minister of Public Infrastructure, Posts, Urban Development, and Transport. "What is impressive to me is you see all old friends, you meet new friends, and people from all over the world – coming from the Diaspora. We have cruise ships that brought in thousands and you can see the cruise passengers enjoying themselves – everybody enjoying themselves."
He however noted: "Unfortunately it (J'ouvert) ended a bit prematurely – a little earlier, and people are yearning for more music but I can only see this getting better and better as the years go on."

LAS - Linear Algeberaic Shell is a command based matrix transformation visualizer for 2D space.
You can use vector, vec, or v to create vectors, it takes two number arguments. For example:
>>> vec x y
>>> vector (cos x) y
>>> v x (sin y)
>>> v (cos x) (sin y)
You can apply a matirx transformation to the space using transform or t for short. It takes 4 number arguments m11 m12 m21 m22 in that order. For example:
>>> t m11 m12 m21 m22
You can use rotate, rot, or r to rotate the space. It takes the degree as an argument and not a radian. Rotate is basically just a specialization of the transform command that applies the matrix with first row [cos(deg) -sin(deg)] and second row [sin(deg) cos(deg)]. Examples:
>>> rot 90
>>> rotate 180
You can use reset to reset the state of the world, reverse all transformations and remove all displayed vectors.
>>> reset
The following commands:
>>> v 1 0
>>> v 0 1
>>> t 2 0 0 2
>>> t 1 0 1 1
>>> t 0.5 0 0 0.5
would create the two basis vectors, scale the whole space by a factor of 2, take the basis vector (1 0) to (1 1), and then scale back to the original factor.

Head of the European Central Bank Jean-Claude Trichet has told Germans the euro is "credible and stable." His comments came as polls indicate that many in Germany feel nostalgia for the deutschmark.
Germans switched to euro notes and coins in 2002
The president of the European Central Bank Jean-Claude Trichet has rejected criticism that the euro was a less stable currency than the old German deutschmark. In an interview with mass circulation daily Bild, he said the European single currency had been "credible and stable" throughout the global financial crisis.
"In the past 12 years, the average rate of price increase in the eurozone has been 1.97 percent, and in Germany only 1.5 percent."
His comments came in reaction to recent polls indicating that many Germans still feel nostalgic for the deutschmark, the currency they kept in their wallets from after World War II until the introduction of euro notes in 2002.
The global financial crisis and the debt crises in Greece and Ireland has lead widespread nervousness among Europeans about how their single currency would hold up, should countries like Portugal and Spain also need assistance from Brussels.
Euro more stable than Deutschmark
Trichet said he was confident the euro would still be around in 20 years and told Germans they need not fear price instability. In fact, prices under the euro had been more stable in Germany than in the pre-euro years, he pointed out.
Despite the problems in some member countries, the euro as such was in no crisis, Trichet said.
"It's rather that we have a crisis of public finance in some nations," he said. "States that had spent more than they earned had to act."
He also reassured Germans that those countries with debt levels in excess of the prescribed regulations would be forced to act.
"The ECB is expecting governments in the eurozone to make enormous efforts to reduce debt," Trichet said. "Debts must be repaid. This is an issue of trust."
Trichet took over as head of the ECB in 2003 but his term will expire in October 2011. He is expected to be succeeded by either Axel Weber, currently head of Germany's Bundesbank, or by Italian banker Mario Draghi.

News: 11 March 2016 - Forum Rules Current Moderators - DarkSol, KingMike, MathOnNapkins, Azkadellia, Danke
I haven't replied back, but the IPS here are the latest ones. I don't know the exact address of where Kano's heart sprite tile was. I found them through trial and error manually going through each and every tile in TLP. I was able to tell visually what were Kano's sprites in TLP. His projectiles are pretty visible in the game.
Apparently it doesn't work with both patches, I tried every possible match without results.It would be great to have this uncensored version with the champion edition.
Announcement! I decided to play around with the game again and I am transferring my original edits done to the PAL version of the game to a proper NTSC build. I will post up an IPS very soon again. Also I was able to transfer all my edits to the Championship Edition if anyone is interested in that. Sorry for the long wait and reply. I rarely use RHDN.
Out of curiosity, I played a bit with the debugger.Final 8x16 heart is stored as two compressed parts.-- 1c9937 + 1ecd37Decoder at 988310.It's helpful to use bsnes-debugger cpu breakpoint at decoder spot. Then use Tile Viewer to watch the ram at 7f2200 S-CPU bus and you'll see the tiles refresh.
Great, Mortal kombat by snes will finally be more than decent to play, thanks for reaching out to this rom
Awesome!This will be close to a definitive version of Mortal Kombat 1 on consoles.I can't stand the awful graphics and sound of the Genesis port, I always preferred the SNES one, even if it didn't have blood or the fatalities.With that said, there's still the possibility to restore Kano's fatality if we can manage to find the heart sprite, and slightly tweak Kano's palette/graphics to have a proper red colour for the heart only.I documented a bit of this here:https://www.romhacking.net/forum/index.php?topic=30001.msg391376#msg391376However I couldn't find the exact heart tile, nor the palette in the ROM.If someone can help with that, that'd be amazing.
Alright everyone, here is a test IPS patch. I'm using other people's romhack IPS patches but I want to give credit where credit is due. I'm just trying to build the ultimate Mortal Kombat 1 SNES experience for everyone and myself included. I tested the rom for a few hours, I was able to transfer all my edits on the uncensored hack from a PAL build to an NTSC build. Build will run perfectly on mortalkombat(U).smcIPS: http://www.mediafire.com/file/8dnk3a6nynthjkn/Mortal_Kombat_Champion_Edition_Uncensored.ips/file Champion Edition features (play as Goro, Reptile, Shang Tsung) - hack belonging to Snark-4918https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/4812/patched up with Docrow's Blood and easy move rom hack (makes gameplay a lot smoother in my opinion)https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/3998/along with my uncensored edits (restoring the words FATALITY instead of Finishing Bonus, RAIDEN instead of RAYDEN, slightly adding little more blood graphics and sprites, original chest wound/open gash FATALITY graphics)I can also create a Vanilla patch, at the moment I will try to tighten up any possible blood graphics and textures and maybe attempt editing the Pit Bottom. Also I will try to find out the exact location of Kano's heart rip sprite. I know exactly visually where Kano's graphics are, however that heart sprite seems to be a very compressed graphic tile in the games graphics bank. Screenshots:So try out the build and let me know what you all think.
I do not know if it happens to others but when I play with goro or reptile the emulator gets stuck, I use snes9x or BizHawk with kernel of the same snes9x and in both cases they get stuck. But finish the game no problem with scorpion.
Can confirm the emulator crash. Snes9x 1.60.
It also crashed with snes9x-x64 1.60, it was with 1.58 and it froze with that one.
I will do more testing on the rom again. I think I know what might be causing the crash. I think the blood patch might be crashing it so I will just re-do it in hex. I will just re-import the graphical changes I made again in case I imported something wrong.

Testing Overlay Network (VXLAN) Infrastructure by Running Realistic Application Traffic
The IT industry is in the midst of a fundamental move toward the centralization of application delivery via concentrated and dense private and public computing sites. Corporations are concentrating IT spending in data centers and scaling them up through server virtualization in order to reduce the complexity and associated operating costs – all while enjoying capital cost saving advantage. We have also seen a number of service providers start offering software as a service (SaaS) and platform as a service (PaaS) options. Many enterprise businesses have migrated their application to cloud based services. The change is real and it is growing at very fast pace.
The growth in virtualization has also created many challenges to network engineers, such as how to manage and load balance the workload, VM migration, segmentation, and support multi-tenancy.
VXLAN is an overlay solution designed to address these challenges. It helps network engineers scale and manage networked cloud computing environments by allowing better segmentation, and it provides more flexibility for isolating cloud applications or tenants.
VXLAN is a key technology to an overlay SDN approach, in addition to standard layer 2/3 test methodologies. The network must be tested for stateful real-world application traffic in order to ensure that it can effectively carry application traffic without any degradation.
The following use cases can be considered for testing VXLAN with application traffic:
- VM migration: This is one of the key benefit VXLAN offers to help with server load balancing. When a VM migrates from one server to another, it must retain its properties (such as MAC/IP) and policies. Also, the users using the application on that VM must be transparent to the end users. User shouldn't experience any disruption or degradation in the service.
- Application latency measurement: As the application traffic running on VXLAN as well as VXLAN to non-VXLAN domain, the transit and gateway devices (VTEP) have to perform encapsulation and de-capsulation process. This functionality may introduce slight delay (latency) in delivering application services. The network engineer has to make sure that the delay doesn't affect overall quality of experience.
In summary, since the overall goal for SDN approach is to build application centric networks. It makes perfect sense to run realistic application traffic across the network to ensure user is getting enhance quality of experience!
Here's How Ixia Can Help User to Run Application Traffic Over VXLAN
Starting IxNetwork 7.30EA version, users can run application traffic over VXLAN endpoints (hosts).
IxNetwork AppLibrary speeds and simplifies testing with a simplified workflow and framework that simulates application profiles. AppLibrary uses Ixia's BreakingPoint Application Threat Intelligence (ATI) technology to provide an extensive library of pre-defined application flows that simulate end-user interactions and devices. The solution combines Ixia's IxNetwork for protocol emulation and stateless traffic generation with the most current real-world stateful application simulations.

JACKSON, NH— A few short days have come and gone and the WILLIAMS NORDIC team is happily situated in New Hampshire for a weekend of racing hosted by University of New Hampshire.
The men competed in their 20k classic mass start race first. After completing 4 laps, each 5k, the WILLIAMS NORDIC men placed 5 of their skiers in the top 30. Junior Jack Consenstein lead the herd, closely followed by teammate sophomore Emil Graf, placing 17th and 18th respectively. Right behind these two speed demons was sophomore Henry McGrew in 21st, junior Dylan Syben in 23rd and senior captain Nick Gardner in 25th. These high caliber yet not surprising results put the WILLIAMS NORDIC men in 5th place, only 34 points behind Bowdoin in 3rd place.
After the men set the tone for the WILLIAMS NORDIC team, the women embarked on their long 15k classic mass start race. After completing 3 laps, each 5k, the WILLIAMS NORDIC women's team put 3 of their skiers in the top 30, resulting in 5th place as a team. While they scored 5th team, the women were only a mere 58 points out of 3rd place. Senior captain Sonya Jampel who has had a very strong start to her season lead her pack of Ephwomen, placing 14th overall. Less than a minute behind Jampel was teammate junior Ingrid Thyr in 23rd place and sophomore Magdalen York in 29th.
Head coach Jason Lemieux recommends to his athletes to "race fast" and his athletes answer enthusiastically and without hesitation "okay", because that's what Ephs do. They race fast. The WILLIAMS NORDIC team looks forward to the skate sprint tomorrow.

The term "Noahide" refers specifically to a non-Jew who observes the "Seven Noahide Laws," believes in the truth of Judaism, but does not convert to Judaism. The Seven Noahides Laws refer to the seven commandments that God gave to the children of Noah after the flood, as derived from passages in the Torah.
Do not deny God.
Do not blaspheme God.
Do not murder.
Do not engage in illicit sexual relations.
Do not steal.
Do not eat from a live animal.
Establish courts/legal system to ensure obedience to said laws.
Some of the earliest references to the "Seven Laws of Noah" can be found in the Babylonian Talmud (tractate Sanhedrin, folios 56a-60a), where they appear as part of a theoretical rabbinic conversation regarding the status of non-Jews in the land of Israel. According to the rabbinic consensus in the Talmud, these seven laws constitute God's original pre-Judaic covenant with man and remain incumbent upon all of humanity. While a specifically Noahide communal identity and faith would not emerge until modern times, there is some evidence of ancient proto-Noahide communities in the Eastern Mediterranean around the fourth century BCE. Jewish and Christian sources describe the presence of quasi Jewish communities, which adopted Jewish practices but not did not convert to to Judaism, known collectively as "fearers of the Lord" (sebomenoi) (Luria 1994:20; Novak 1983).
The Mishneh Torah, written by Moshe Ben Maimon (Maimonides, 1135-1204) provides another authoritative theological discussion of Bnei Noah from the Middle Ages. According to Maimonides, just as Jews are required to follow Mosaic Law and observe all 613 commandments given in the Torah, non-Jews are obligated to observe the original Seven Laws of Noah. A non-Jew who keeps these laws will be considered a "righteous gentile" and will have a place in the "world to come." According to Maimonides, messianic times will bring the spread of global monotheism as gentiles recognize the authority of the seven laws and accept the oneness of God.
The idea of Noahidism as a religion, rather than a purely theoretical discussion in Jewish law regarding the legal status of non-Jews, was elaborated by Elijah Benamozegh (1822-1900). Benamozegh was an Italian Rabbi and kabbalist who promoted the Noahide laws as the universal religion of the future, that would unite humanity under a singular monotheistic moral code. Benamozegh's writings were edited and disseminated by his student, Aime Palliere (1875–1949), a French theologian and Zionist, who, like many Bnei Noah today, followed a trajectory from Catholicism to Evangelical Christianity and eventually Judaism. Under the spiritual direction of Benamozegh, Palliere was discouraged from conversion to Judaism, and instead took on the status of a Noahide. He dedicated his life to the study of Torah, spreading the Noahide message, and working as a leader within the Zionist movement in France. Palliere viewed Zionism as part of the destiny of the Jewish people, who by returning to the holy land and taking on their role as the "chosen people," would help gentiles to realize their own destiny in becoming Noahides.
In the 1980s, the Lubavitcher Rebbe of the Chabad Hasidic movement, Menchem Mendel Schneerson, promoted the idea that gentiles had a place in the covenant with God through observance of the Seven Noahide Laws. For the Rebbe, spreading awareness of the seven laws was part of his vision for a global tikkun (rectification) that would unify mankind under a common moral code in preparation for messianic times. The Rebbe's desire to spread Noahidism is often attributed to his need to respond to the horrors of the Holocaust. For the Rebbe, only a universal social contract, grounded in faith in one God, could prevent human atrocities like genocide. To this day, Chabad maintains an ongoing campaign to present diplomatic leaders with the Noahide Laws, encouraging political leaders to proclaim the universality of the laws as a moral code for all of humanity. This occurred, most notably, in 1991 when the United States Congress designated March 26 as "Education Day, USA" and in honor of the Rebbe's ninetieth birthday, produced a resolution proclaiming the value of the Noahide laws:
Whereas in tribute to this great spiritual leader, `the rebbe', this, his ninetieth year will be seen as one of `education and giving', the year in which we turn to education and charity to return the world to the moral and ethical values contained in the Seven Noahide Laws; and Whereas this will be reflected in an international scroll of honor signed by the President of the United States and other heads of state: Now, therefore, be it (U. S. Congress website 1991)
Rabbis from the Chabad Hasidic movement have continued to spread the seven Noahide laws amongst non-Jewish communities. Chabad rabbis are typically sent as emissaries around the world to build Jewish communities and bring more secular Jews into observant life. However, since the early 2000s, they have increasingly devoted resources to building Noahide communities abroad, particularly in the global south, identifying potential Noahide leaders on the ground and training them through internet seminars.
The spread of Noahidism as new Judaic lifestyle and belief system for non-Jews is directly linked to the connective power of the internet in the twenty-first century. Noahides utilize twenty-first century technologies, such as Facebook and Skype, to study Torah with Jewish rabbis and communicate with growing Noahide communities around the world. One of the largest Noahide communities to emerge as a result of Chabad emissaries and online learning opportunities is in the Philippines, where there are currently an estimated 2,500 practicing Noahides and nine Noahide synagogues on different islands. According to Rabbi Michael Shulman, who runs asknoah.org, a Chabad affiliated website that provides Noahides with Torah learning materials, Noahides have grown to tens of thousands and there are communities around the world, most notably in Great Britain, the Philippines, Latin America, Nigeria, Russia, and the United States.
During a recent wave of violence in Israel/Palestine (September 2015-January 2016), ignited by tensions on the Temple Mount, Chabad rabbis began displaying billboards [Image at right] in Arab villages and handing out flyers proclaiming the universality and importance of the Noahide laws (Rosenbert 2015).
In the United States, the spread of Noahidism dates back to the 1980s (following a proliferation of millenarian movements in the 1970s) and began with the conversion of individual evangelical ministers coming out of the Hebrew Roots movement (Kaplan 1997). As they became more interested in Jewish traditions, inconsistencies between the Old and New Testaments led these ministers to seek out Torah study with Orthodox Jewish Rabbis, who eventually guided them to the Noahide laws, and the Jewish vision of in the messianic era. These ex-evangelical ministers then went on to establish the first Bnei Noah communities and synagogues, often bringing their former congregations along with them. Many American Noahides credit the work and writings of Vendyl Jones (1930-2010), a former evangelical pastor and biblical archeologist, who famously went looking for the ark of the covenant, with building the foundations of the Noahide movement in the American Southwest. Today, the Noahide movement continues to grow across the American Southwest and in other urban centers across the country. Some active congregations include the Netiv Center For Torah Study (Texas) and The South Plains Hebraic Center (Texas), The Noahide Torah Study Group (Kansas City), Noahide Study Group of Jacksonville Beaches (Florida), The Lansing Chavurah (Michigan), and the Noahide Community of Tampa Bay (Florida).
While Chabad Rabbis have avoided officially affiliating with the previously evangelical Noahide communities in the United States (focusing instead on Europe and the third world), other rabbis from Israel's right-wing religious Zionist demographic have established strong connections with them. Most notably, Rabbi Meir Kahane (1932-1950), an American born Israeli Rabbi and politician, who promoted a militant form of messianic Zionism, advocating for the expulsion of Arabs from Israel and the Palestinian territories. Kahane formed alliances with early Noahide leaders such as Vendyl Jones and delivered the keynote speech at the first international Noahide conference held in Fort Worth Texas in 1990. In his speech, Kahane connected the emerging Bnei Noah movement to the unfolding of Jewish prophecy in Israel (the return of Jews to the land the creation of the Jewish State) and to the final redemption of all mankind.
Following Kahane's death, The Temple Institute, led by Rabbi Yisrael Ariel (who was also a member of Kahane's former political party), became the leading Jewish organization to work with Noahides in the American Southwest. The Temple Institute is part of the larger Third Temple Movement in Israel, a theocratic movement that wishes to rebuild the Third Jewish Temple on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, reinstate a priesthood and sacrifices, and transform Israel into a theocratic Torah state (Inbari 2009; Gorenberg 2002). In recent years, the Third Temple Movement has moved from the margins into the religious-nationalist mainstream, gaining access to state funding, national service volunteers, and political endorsement from members of the ruling Likud party (Feldman 2017; Persico 2017).
In addition to the Temple Institute, there are a growing number of rabbis from Israel's religious nationalist demographic who are working with Noahide converts around the world. A popular internet portal called "Brit Olam: Noahide World Center" is run by religious-nationalist Rabbi Oury Cherki. Rabbi Cherki was born in Algeria in 1959 and grew up in France. He moved to Israel in 1972 and studied with Rabbi Tzvi Yehuda Kook at the Merkaz Harav Yeshiva, the foundational institute of religious Zionism that has trained many of the prominent rabbis of the religious settlement movement.
These religious nationalist rabbis, who are often affiliated with the Third Temple Movement, mentor Noahides because they believe that the messianic era begins with the establishment of a Jewish theocratic state in Israel, supported by communities of Noahides, preaching Judaism's supremacy as the one true faith around the globe.
The core of Noahide belief revolves around adherence to the Seven Noahide Laws as God's original covenant with all mankind (prior to the Abrahamic covenant and the subsequent Mosaic covenant with the Jewish people). Following the Noahide laws includes a complete rejection of former Christian beliefs, specifically belief in the divinity of Jesus, which constitutes idolatry and is forbidden according to the Jewish interpretation of the first law "Do not deny God." Noahides receive mentorship almost exclusively from Orthodox rabbis and therefore believe in Orthodox Judaism as the only true expression of Judaism (discounting Reform, Conservative, and other varieties). They believe strongly in the Jewish people as God's chosen nation, who are meant to guide the world towards a more perfect monotheism.
Noahide communities around the world are also notably messianic. They believe in a literal interpretation of Jewish prophetic scripture regarding the return of Jewish exiles to the Land of Israel, the building of the Third Temple, and the reestablishment of a Jewish kingdom as a prerequisite to messianic times. Many of these messianic beliefs are not entirely new for Noahides, but rather a continuation of their previous Evangelical doctrines.
Although Noahides adopt Jewish beliefs and rituals, most Noahides do not convert to Judaism because they make a distinction between Judaism and Jewishness. Noahides often view Jewishness a racialized ethno-national category primarily reserved for those who are "Jews by blood." Noahides, however, believe that that they can participate in Judaism as a universal truth for all mankind by building a new Noahide religion centered around the Seven Laws of Noah.
The small percentage of Noahides who do eventually convert to Judaism primarily come from middle-upper class backgrounds (approximately two-three percent in most communities). Because Noahides only recognize Orthodox Judaism as authentic Judaism, they must seek out Orthodox conversions that often require expensive seminary studies and and full time living in an observant Jewish community for at least a year. Because Orthodox Jewish conversions are lengthy and costly, only Noahides with financial means are able to relocate to Jewish communities and convert. There are also Noahide leaders who actively discourage conversion even amongst the economically privileged. Some Noahide preachers argue that Noahides have their own divinely sanctioned role in the world alongside the Jewish people, and that their goal is not to become Jews but to develop their own unique rituals and expressions of monotheism under the mentorship and guidance of Orthodox Jewish rabbis.
Around the world, tens of thousands Noahides are adopting Jewish rituals, studying Torah online, and establishing synagogues under the supervision of Orthodox rabbis. There is an ongoing and contentious debate amongst Noahides and Jewish rabbis concerning the degree to which Noahides should have access to Jewish ritual life. In many communities it is common to see Noahide men wearing yarmulkes and prayer shawls, married Noahide women covering their hair, Noahides observing the Sabbath and major Jewish holidays, and buying kosher food. However, the degree to which a particular Noahide community adopts Jewish traditions largely depends on the theological interpretations of their particular rabbinic mentors.
While some rabbis openly encourage Noahides to adopt Jewish ritual life, others, particularly from the Chabad orientation, discourage it and argue that Noahides should maintain clear distinctions between themselves and Jews. To this end, Chabad published a Noahide prayer book (2016) with new unique prayers and rituals written specifically for Noahide communities. For example, instead of keeping the Sabbath, a commandment restricted to Jews, the Chabad prayer book includes a new ritual for a Noahide "Seventh Day" celebration instead. In contrast to Chabad emissaries, who promote the observance of Jewish customs in a very limited way, some Israeli rabbis from the religious-nationalist sector encourage Noahides to take on more Jewish commandments, manner of dress, and holiday traditions.
Today, there are at least ten different organizations, with physical and online locations, run by Jewish rabbis who are working to mentor Noahides. While each organization has a slightly different leadership style, some general patterns can be discerned, particularly in the third world where Noahides rely almost exclusively on the internet for contact with the Orthodox Jewish establishment. Websites run by Orthodox Jewish rabbis cater to Noahides, offering online Torah study and certificate programs, where aspiring Noahides can study the seven laws and receive Jewish mentorship (for monthly or yearly fees). While giving these courses, Jewish rabbis search for potential leaders, Noahide students who can bring the teachings they learn online back to their local communities. When leaders are identified, they often become middle men in the process of proselytizing and spreading the Noahide faith. These middle men report to Jewish rabbis and filter down the teachings they learn online into their own native language to local community members who may not have the means to enroll in courses online. In many cases, these local communities in the third world are former congregations of evangelical Christians who are converting to become Noahides following the instruction of a pastor leader/middle man who reports to Jewish rabbis abroad.
While the idea of non-Jews studying Torah and following the Noahide laws is not inherently controversial, the political challenge of Noahidism arises when we examine the connection of Noahides to the Third Temple Movement and growing theocratic forces in Israel. As the Third Temple Movement grows in Israel and abroad and inspires a vision of a Jewish theocratic state, it draws into question the relationship between Jews and non-Jews in messianic times. The Noahide movement responds to this question by carving out a place for non-Jews in the messianic Zionist project, providing them with a new spiritual identity and new forms of ritual life based on Jewish customs. This raises the question: Has messianic Zionism created a new world religion? In the past, Evangelical Christians have been important and powerful allies for Jewish Zionists. It is possible that what we are seeing today is the establishment of a more "kosher" alliance, non-Jewish Noahides are giving up their belief in Jesus and supporting the Zionist project through their new Judaic faith.
The second challenge is a theological/categorical one. Most rabbis working with Noahides deny that Noahidism is a new religion, arguing that Noahidism is an ancient and natural "category." Noahidism is the natural religion of all mankind, because all mankind descends from the sons of Noah and is therefore included in the Noahide covenant with God. The idea of "Jews" and "Noahides" as natural categories of humanity can appear as a form of theological Jewish supremacy, reinforcing the idea of Jews as a chosen people carrying out divine will with the help of Noahide supporters who recognize their superior position. As mentioned earlier, a racialized idea of Jewishness remains a strong current in the Noahide world.
The rapid growth of the Noahide movement in the 2000s, especially in the third world, also draws into question the financial accessibility of Orthodox Jewish conversion in the twenty-first century. Through the proliferation of internet technology, remote communities around the world are being introduced to Jewish learning and rituals for the first time online. However, many of these communities lack the resources to pursue Orthodox Jewish conversion and are often encouraged to remain as Noahides by rabbi mentors online. Because of this arrangement, some Jewish organizations may be in a position to gain financially from geographically isolated communities, who are eager to form relationships with Jewish clergy and receive Torah knowledge online.
A final issue involves the global and amorphous nature of the Noahidism, which has yet to be codified into a specific set of religious practices. While all communities and rabbinic mentors agree on the Seven Laws of Noahide as the foundational doctrine, each community has taken on its own character and ritual practices according to the theological and political orientations of their rabbinic mentors, goals and desires of local Noahide preacher/leaders, and previous religious communal structures/styles of worship. Furthermore, thousands of Noahides worldwide do not belong to any physical community but participate in Noahidism virtually through online seminars and meetings. Thus, it remains to be seen whether the different rabbinic factions and local Noahide congregations will join together into a unified global religion with clear ritual and doctrinal standards.

Dani arrives in California to visit her cousin for a month and have some fun away from her worries and her past. The two girls do fun tourist things and prank each other, until something goes wrong, very, very wrong. As things go from bad to worse, the film explores voodoo, the supernatural, and hell, all through a found footage lens. The story created by writer/director Tom Costabile has a lot of good ideas and some truly unnerving imagery and moments. The opening with the voodoo curse being put into place goes from interesting to freaky fairly fast. The film itself then takes a little bit to establish the two cousins and the other players around them (including an unnecessary but not annoying cameo by Ron Jeremy) until one pranks leads to all hell breaking loose.
The way this develops in the house is creepy and effective even through the most of the time shaky found footage cam. Once the lead moves to a secondary location, the film has good ideas still, but the found footage angle doesn't make sense and the new location has a bunch of issues. That being said, once the film gets past that, a few really creepy scenes happen and the ending is chilling even with a few issues in the makeup department. Most of the film revolves around Dani and her cousin Stacy, the actresses portraying them are the ones with the most of the film on their shoulders. Samantha Stewart plays Dani, the fun-loving girl running from her past away from New Orleans and to Los Angeles. Stewart does a decent job with the scenes she has, especially once the scare factor gets cranked up.
Playing her cousin Stacy, Ruth Reynolds is bubbly and brings a lot of energy. The two of them however have southern accents that seemingly come and go on a whim throughout the film, creating an issue with being able to fully believe them as southerners and this causes issues getting fully immersed into the story. On the plus side, once the story moves to most of the characters mostly just screaming in fear and crying, the accents are not an issue anymore. The rest of the cast gets little screen time or is covered in makeup to a point where their performances are harder to read. The cinematography by David M. Brewer is fairly run of the mill for lower budget found footage films. The film has an uneven look depending on what kinds of scenes are shot, giving the impression that not everything that is supposed to be shot by Dani is shot by her.
Once the story moves into its second half, the location that unfortunately looks like an even lower budget haunted house, the point of view switches and who is holding the camera is not quite clear and honestly puzzling as it does not make a whole lot of sense. The makeup effects for the evil characters and for a few others are ok, but clearly inexpensive and done as best they could. The makeup effects team composed of Miranda Jory, Benjamin D. Ploughman, Graham Schofield, and Tanner White does good work that is clearly influenced by Evil Dead and a few other movies. The creepier, most unsettling scenes are not necessarily the ones with the most special effects. The unseen is much more effective here and the supernatural apparitions in the house, courtesy of visual effects artists Dean Guiliotis, Bo Howe, Lior Molcho, and Frank Synowicz, are simple and effective. They even will stay with some viewers after turning off the movie, which is a sign of memorable work.
VooDoo is unfortunately a very uneven film. It has good ideas and some really well executed scenes that will send chills down most viewers' spines. It spends a bit too much time setting up the characters and having them meander in Los Angeles like tourists before turning the creep factor way up and having it work well until the story moves to a secondary location that is both puzzling in choice and makes some sense if that is possible. More time should have been spent in the house, building the suspense and dread before moving to the alternate location which could use a few judicious cuts to make it shorts with more impact before getting to that effective, chilling end.

Slightly more bankruptcies
In July this year, 460 businesses and institutions (excluding one-man businesses) in the Netherlands were declared bankrupt, slightly more than in June.
As the number of businesses declared bankrupt in a particular month is closely related to the number of days the courts are in session, it may vary considerably from month to month. Therefore, the three-monthly moving average is a more reliable indicator.
The three-monthly moving average was 485 in July versus 479 in June. The three-monthly moving average has varied around 500 for a year now.
Bankruptcies of businesses and institutions (excluding one-man businesses)

3D Pump Impeller Design
The meridional shape, number of blades and component specific work rVt (ie. impeller head) were loaded from TURBOdesign Pre into TURBOdesign1 for the detailed 3D design of the pump impeller. TURBOdesign1 is unique blade design software that uses the 3D inverse design approach to compute the blade shape for a given blade loading distribution.
It is well known that the main source of hydrodynamic loss in medium specific speed centrifugal pump impellers is the formation of secondary flows in the impeller, so ADT engineers started the impeller design with a spanwise loading distribution known to systematically suppress secondary flows. Such blade loading features an aft-loaded hub that increases surface velocities on suction surface of hub and a fore-loaded shroud that removes surface velocities on suction surface of shroud. This span wise loading distribution results in a reduction of static pressure gradients on the suction surface. Hence, suppresses secondary flows results in high impeller efficiency and the more uniform exit flow ensures very good stage efficiency.
3D Turbine Impeller Design
The turbine impeller was also designed in TURBOdesign1 following a similar process and principles as the pump impeller design, the aim being to achieve high total-to-static efficiency by reducing the accumulation of low momentum flows and exit swirl at the impeller trailing edge. To achieve this target the initial turbine impeller was designed with a fore-loaded hub and mid to aft-loaded shroud.
A design system based on TURBOdesign1 facilitates development and transfer of design know-how across designers, projects and teams, resulting in improved engineering productivity and companys industry competitiveness. These unique advantages 3D inverse design approach implemented within TURBOdesign1 ensures the design inputs are based on aerodynamic / hydrodynamic design parameters instead of geometrical blade angles.
Pump and Turbine Volute Design
The pump and turbine volutes also play a critical role in ensuring the system can achieve very high efficiency at design and off-design conditions within a compact packaging. Volutes are traditionally designed assuming a uniform flow coming into the volute. There is significant circumferential variation of velocities within the volute inlet particularly at off-design conditions at higher flow than the design point.
Most volute designers are well aware of this issue and tend to oversize the volute, shifting its best efficiency point at higher than the design point to counter the effect of these high losses. Using this practice the volute sizing increases and creates a mismatch between best efficiency point of the impeller and the volute, resulting in overall lower efficiency at design point.
For this project ADT engineers have used TURBOdesign Volute to design both the pump exit volute and turbine inlet volute. TURBOdesign Volute is a unique design code which allows designers to specify non-uniform circumferential flow variation at the inlet of the volute, the code then uses the streamline curvature method to calculate the outer volute flow boundary and automatically provides an optimal volute area distribution.
The final output is a clean 3D surface IGES file which is ready for meshing and 3D CFD analysis.

Dracula Live in Concert
"I want great music. Not just theatrical, but great!" Francis Ford Coppola said to Wojciech Kilar in 1991, discussing the details of the soundtrack to his adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. The director's words gained special significance during yesterday's screening of the film in the Krzysztof Penderecki Auditorium of the ICE Kraków Congress Centre. The world premiere of Dracula Live in Concert officially opened the 12th Krakow Film Music Festival.
It was the time when Wojciech Kilar – with over a hundred film scores to his name – made the decision to leave the cinema. "I was exhausted from working on Andrzej Wajda's Korczak", he recalled years later. I always said I was like Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. On the one hand, I was engrossed in reading Saint Augusine, on the other hand, I loved horror films, the more vengeance-filled, the better. At that moment, I decided to stay Dr Jekyll forever, and devote myself exclusively to the dreation of my dream mass".
One evening, or rather one phone call from across the ocean was enough for Mr Hyde to awaken within the composer. Filled with doubts – a Hollywood debut at the age of 59? – Wojciech Kilar made the only possible decision – he agreed to write the music to the 39th adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, being prepared by his favourite director in order to get his American Zoetrope studio out of debt. "It was an offer I couldn't refuse", he later said about Coppola's late-night phone call, quoting The Godfather, filmed twenty years earlier with a similar goal.
Filming started in the autumn of 1991 and lasted all winter; editing started in February 1992. It wasn't easy work. On set, there were conflicts and indispositions of the actors (Coppola bet of a star-studded cast, featuring Gary Oldman, Winona Ryder, Anthony Hopkins, Keanu Reeves, Tom Waits, Sadie Frost and Monica Bellucci), and above all, the serious heart problems Wojciech Kilar faced at the time. An important element of the drama were costumes and make-up – Coppola, producing a vision of a film horror with a theatrical atmosphere, attached great importance to the set design and appearance of inidual characters. In the case of Lucy (Sadie Frost, in vampire make-up), it was so effective that the little girl she held in her arms during a scene in a tomb ran crying from the cameras.
The director gave Wojciech Kilar only two instructions. The first was that it was to be a film about God's mistake, and the second, that the score should run an hour and fifteen minutes. The cantata created by Katowice-based composer on the basis of these instructions because a kind of narrator of the film – a non-standard but crucial voice from outside the frame. Kilar decided to create a clash of the two music personalities within him – the symphonic (the fragment "Sanguis vita est" comes from Victoria, the final choir with the words "O crux ave" is taken from Angelus) and the cinematic. He wove the themes around the most important problems raised in the work: suffering and the overwhelming power of love, horror and demonism, offense with God and constant longing. At Coppola's request, he grouped them into several episodes of a film suite, and added a theme for one of the supporting characters (Lucy) on site. It was a succinct melody he had overheard in Paris. Kilar decorated the subtle motif with original instrumentation (strings, piano, celesta, bells), creating an audio description of the flirtatious, sometimes perverse nature of the character. It was the beginning of new thinking in film music – from that moment on, themes that described personality traits became the trademark of Wojciech Kilar's cinematic music aesthetic.
In 1993, Bram Stoker's Dracula was showered with awards (including three Oscars, five Saturns, and the ASCAP award for the composer of the score). The doors to Hollywood opened for the Polish artist and agents from Kraft-Engel Management offered him a move to Los Angeles. Kilar did not take them up on it. To this day, many people ask themselves why. "It wasn't for him, he didn't have the instinct of a traveller", Jan A.P. Kaczmarek speculated years later. "He found himself in cruel times, where you couldn't do much without being seen in the right places. And if you live far away, everything gets going without you."
Nevertheless, the soundtrack for Coppola's Dracula has become legendary and today is part of the canon of world film music. On Wednesday, as part of the official opening of the 12th FMF, it was played live for the first time, in a simultaneous screening of Francis Ford Coppola's superproduction in the packed Krzysztof Penderecki Auditorium Hall of ICE Kraków. "I'm feeling a lot of excitement. I hope that the audience will feel the same, after so many years of waiting for the Dracula Live in Concert project to become feasible", said Robert Piaskowski, artistic director of the FMF, a few minutes before the film screening. "This is an extremely important evening in the history of the festival. It is yet another world premiere of a music screening commissioned by the FMF, and at the same time a great tribute to Wojciech Kilar, who was connected without city", Jacek Majchrowski, Mayor of the City of Krakow, said in a letter that opened the 12th edition of the FMF.
Yesterday's screening of Bram Stoker's Dracula (the screening also featured audio description) was accompanied by the musicians of the Beethoven Academy Orchestra and the Polish Radio Choir under the baton of Don Davis. The solo parts (including the famous cantilena from the love theme) were daringly performed by the Krakow soprano Anna Zawisza.During the final credits, the audience heard a captivating interpretation of Annie Lennox's "Love Song for a Vampire" by Agata Kuliś. "It was a huge challenge and even more powerful emotions. First, because I love the FMF and singing at this festival is a dream and an incredible joy. Second, because my voice is different, less dramatic than Annie Lennox's, and so the director gave me a lot of freedom to interpret her work. I was able to make my own creation", the vocalist said moments after leaving the stage.
Film composed Thomas Bryła took on the task of arranging the musical themes (including making copies of orchestral parts from Kilar's manuscript) for the world premiere of Dracula Live in Concert. "I worked very hard to recreate this score, I think I can say today that I know every detail of it. I'm fascinated by the extremity of emotions it contains – from the very splashy, bombastic, epic narration to the truly intimate love themes", the arranger emphasises.
The festival audience awarded the performers with standing ovations; thunderous, spontaneous applause was also heard when Wojciech Kilar's name appeared in the film credits.
The Dracula Live in Concert screening was organised in cooperation with the FIMUCITÉ International Film Music Festival in Tenerife – the screening of Coppola's film with live music will be repeated in Santa Cruz in September this year, this time under the direction of Diego Navarro, a friend and ambassador of the FMF.
Guests of the FMF Audiovisual Forum will discuss the behind the scenes of the production of the concert version of Bram Stoker's Dracula today. In the evening, join us for the Scoring4Polish Directors gala, dedicated to the work of the outstanding Polish director, Krzysztof Zanussi.

Basic Oat Cracker Recipe
- 3 cups oat flour (I blend whole oats and flax seed in a smoothie cup before adding to the food processor).
- 1/4 cup Ground Flax Seed
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup water
Variation 1: Savoury Spicy
- 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3 tsp onion powder
- juice of two limes Fill a measuring cup with the lime juice and top up the rest with water. This recipe variation will require 1 1/4 cup liquid to compensate for the additional spices.
Basic Oat Cracker Recipe
Variation 1: Savoury Spicy
- Preheat oven to 400 F. (I have a convection oven that tends to run a little cooler so I set mine to 425 F.)
- Combine ingredients in a food processor fitted with the dough blade and blend on medium speed until a dough forms. It is possible to form the dough manually just knead with your hands until the dough forms.
- Dust counter top with flour. Roll dough as thin as possible. The thinner the dough; the lighter and crunchier the cracker will be.
- Place rolled out dough onto parchment lined cookie or baking sheets. Use a pizza cutter to score lines. This makes it easier to break into neat pieces.
- Place in oven. Check after 18 minutes. I find the crackers on the periphery tend to brown and crisp up quicker, if so remove the golden, crunchy crackers and place back in the oven. Check every 5 minutes, removing the crunchy crackers until all are done.
- Variation 1: Savoury Spicy Add the additional spices to the original cracker recipe. Swap out the liquids in the original cracker with the juice of two limes and enough additional water to equal 1 1/4 cups liquid.
- Variation 2: Cinnamon Spice Crumble this cracker for a delicious home made breakfast cereal.
- I'm finding this recipe cooks a touch quicker at the edges so if you're like me and tend to burn things try cooking at a lower temperature of 375 F for 15 minutes, flip and cook on the reverse for another 15.
