Celebrating the Summer Harvest and Too many Zucchini
It is the peak of summer. For gardeners and those of us who had the foresight to sign up for a farm share or CSA (Community Presupposed Agriculture), this means bounty. Veggies galore. Corn is ready, green beans, and don't even get us started about the tomatoes! It's all good. But for some of us, especially in New England, the bounty of the late summer harvest presents serious cooking challenges. Especially when it comes to zucchini.
Easy to grow in many zones, zucchini is a hardy, leafy plant whose fruit can grow to be longer than three feet. This unassuming green summer squash, the Brits call it courgette, is ubiquitous and can be daunting to new gardeners. Thousands of friends on Facebook are sharing a Photoshopped image of a giant zucchini taking over the entire porch of a house. A Google search for "Why so Many Zucchini?" produces more than 7 million results. Articles such as "What To Do When You Have WAY Too Much Zucchini" (http://www.huffingtonpost.com) and "10 Things to Do with Zucchini When You've Lost All Hope" (http://www.thekitchn.com) are all over the Internet.
Don't panic. The zucchini is "low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Thiamin, Niacin and Pantothenic Acid, and a very good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Folate, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium, Zinc, Copper and Manganese." And given the right spices, herbs, and preparation, can taste amazing either sweet or savory.
Added to sweet cakes and breads, zucchini is moist and delicious. Add chocolate, and it's over the top. Just imagine chocolate zucchini cake, chocolate zucchini brownies, chocolate zucchini donuts, double chocolate espresso zucchini anything…Or savory recipes might hit the spot for you: zucchini pancakes, zucchini fritters, zucchini frittata, stuffed zucchini, zucchini boats with mozzarella and tomato…Or slice it super thin and use it in place of nori for sushi or veggies. Slice it in ribbons and use in place of linguini. Add it to a Vietnamese Pho…
There are almost as many things you can do with a zucchini as there are zucchini at the farm stands right now. Among the thousands of great zucchini recipes, we found this one to be just about the greatest: Zucchini Carpaccio. It's elegant, it's tasty, it lightning fast to make, and no cooking!
This recipe is from Chow (http://www.chow.com/recipes/10981-zucchini-carpaccio-with-feta-and-pine-nuts)
- 2 medium zucchini or other summer squash, ends trimmed and sliced into paper-thin rounds
- 1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- 4 teaspoons high-quality extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 3 tablespoons loosely packed fresh mint or chervil leaves, coarsely chopped
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
Combine zucchini rounds and lemon zest in a medium bowl and toss to coat zucchini. Arrange zucchini on a platter, slightly overlapping the slices. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sprinkle remaining ingredients over zucchini and serve.
This one is from Kcet.org (http://www.kcet.org/living/food/the-public-kitchen/recipe-zucchini-carpaccio.html)
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- salt & pepper
- olive oil
- Juice from one lemon
- 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts
- Shaved Parmesan
Slice zucchini as thinly as possible and arrange on a plate. Season with salt and pepper, and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice to taste. Top with pine nuts and shavings of Parmesan.
Bon Appétit.

"There was a real 'James Bond,' you know, " I mentioned.
"There was?"
"Yes, just google 'Reilly, Ace of Spies.'" She did and so the research began. Sidney Reilly, of Slavic Jewish descent, fluent in several languages and accents, transformed the British secret service from a gentleman's club for amateur sleuths into a cunning organization capable of infiltrating the highest echelons of Soviet power. Reilly intially married a wealthy Irish lady and henceforth passed himself off as an Irishman. Reilly was involved with many women, including the Catholic writer Caryll Houselander, before her conversion. The fact and fiction of his life has been the subject of some recent books, including one by Andrew Cook. In a review of Cook's book, it says:
Sidney Reilly, fluent in Russian, French, German, and English, was the British secret service agent who plotted to overthrow the Bolshevik government, but in 1925 was caught, interrogated, and executed. He is buried in the inner yard of the Lubyanka secret police headquarters in Moscow. A gambler and a womanizer, Reilly enjoyed the lifestyle of the monied class, but he was no James Bond. He was an opportunist, a flim-flam man, a likeable scoundrel and, most likely, a murderer. Many of his deeds were of his own invention, but his future biographers recorded them as truth.
Reilly was a master spy, con artist, serial bigamist, and also a man of mystery. Several books and magazine and newspaper articles have been written about him. Reilly was also the inspiration for Ian Fleming's James Bond series and the subject of a 1983 BBC miniseries, Reilly: Ace of Spies.
Another article has more about his colorful, often sordid, career:
Born in Russia and educated in Britain, Reilly's exploits ranged from saving diplomats in the jungles of South America to infiltrating the German High Command during World War I. In New York City in 1914, he bought munitions and helped counter German sabotage of American factories supplying the Allies. He also obtained German naval secrets for Britain, reputedly made and lost several fortunes during his life, and had many love affairs and several wives. Born the illegitimate son of a Jewish doctor in Odessa in 1874, Reilly changed his name from Sigmund Rosenblum to Sidney George Reilly. Toward the end of his life, one of Reilly's main goals as a British spy was to topple the Bolshevik regime in his homeland. In May 1918, he had to flee Moscow when his plans were foiled. He is believed to have secretly entered the Soviet Union several other times until he was arrested and reportedly executed in November 1925, shortly before Joseph Stalin came to power.
And here is more about the "real James Bond."
Once again, truth is stranger than fiction. I find the prototype of the Bond character to be immensely more interesting than anything in that genre of films.

NORTH LAS VEGAS, Nev. — Margarita Saldana looks around her community and sees poor-paying jobs and discrimination against workers who don't speak English. When she contemplates how to vote on Election Day, she sees little difference between President Bush and Sen. John Kerry.
"They don't think of Latinos," Saldana said in Spanish. "They don't do what they say."
Saldana, a 57-year-old homemaker from Mexico, is part of a flood of immigrants who have transformed the voter landscape in Nevada and could help determine the presidential election — if they vote.
The Bump to win
"The cohesiveness of the Latino electorate ... can be the bump that a candidate needs to do well enough to win the election," said Louis DeSipio, a political science professor at University of California, Irvine, who specializes in Hispanic politics.
Numbering nearly 40 million, Hispanics are the largest minority and the fastest-growing segment of the electorate. In the battleground states of Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado, Hispanics represent 26 percent of the total population.
Yet Hispanics have not voted in numbers equal to their size. Census data shows Hispanic voter turnout declined from 1998 to 2002. Immigration issues, language barriers and a lack of voter information have kept them away from the polls, experts say.
"We have gone sometimes where we have talked to over 600 people in a row and not one of them is eligible to register to vote," said Andres Ramirez with Voices for Working Families, a national nonpartisan group that hopes to boost voting among minority groups in seven states including Nevada.
Part of the problem is tied to immigrant experiences in their native countries. Adriana Martinez, chair of the Nevada Democratic Party, said she has heard immigrants tell stories of corruption and voter intimidation.
"For the most part, Hispanics who have come from different countries feel that their vote won't make a difference," Martinez said. "I hate to hear stories like that because I know ... they can make a difference."
Unprecedented attention
In this year's close presidential election, Hispanics are receiving unprecedented attention from groups sponsoring voter registration and get-out-the-vote drives. Both major presidential campaigns have established Hispanic coalitions — "Unidos con Kerry" and "Viva Bush" — and millions of dollars have been spent on Spanish-language ads.
In 2000, Democratic nominee Al Gore received the support of 62 percent of Hispanics while Bush received 35 percent, according to exit polls. Kerry led Bush nearly 2-1 in a poll of Hispanics this summer.
"Hispanics need to realize that if they continue to remain absent on Election Day, we can't hope to make significant changes in the Hispanic agenda," said White House legal counsel Alberto Gonzalez. "Because politicians pay attention to whether or not Hispanics participate in the political process."

I was going to write about the state of things, but I'm in the kitchen and both of my roommates are cooking things I can't eat. It's delicious and distracting (D&D?).
This whole nearly-paleo thing is working out pretty well for me. Avoiding refined sugars and grains hasn't been too bad. Somewhere, a purist is angry that I still eat yogurt and milk and cheese. Somewhere, another purist can't believe I still have caffeine. Regardless, I'm wondering how to continue this "cleaner" eating lifestyle because I feel good and honestly, I look better than I have in a long time.
I am also clicking along in this student affairs first-year professional role. There are challenges that come with working in the two-year setting, and I am happy to face those. I am leaving for Georgia on Wednesday morning for a NACADA institute; excited for this work-related journey.
And with that, I'm going to go make some nearly-paleo hot wings.

We all suspected that it was going to happen eventually, given the coverage it's received over the last year of so, and now it's been confirmed that steampunk web series Riese has been picked up by Syfy.
The network bought the rights to all ten instalments of the show, which recently won a Streamy award for Best Cinematography, and is currently investigating whether it can make the jump to television. Of course, we'd suspect the network has already looked into this, but Syfy does like to play at suspense if nothing else.
Riese, of course, isn't the first series that's made the jump to network hands, and it certainly won't be the last. Here are a few of the more popular web series out there, which have either been affiliated with a studio show or released independently over the years.
Famously started as a web-only series, and later bought by Syfy, this was one of those shows always destined to succeed thanks to the involvement of Damian Kindler, Amanda Tapping and Martin Wood, all of Stargate fame. The show is gearing up for its third season to be aired on the channel.
Riese follows the titular character, who travels the land of Elysia with her wolf, Fenrir, while evading a sect of assassins. The show is notable for being one of the first to feature steampunk as its primary genre, and also for its host of name actors from mainstream sci-fi series.
Battlestar Galactica: The Face Of The Enemy
Battlestar's webisodes achieved great popularity during the show's airing schedule, and The Face Of The Enemy was the most acclaimed, helped by the huge midseason hiatus. The ten-part web series won a number of Streamy awards, and was nominated for an Emmy.
Lonelygirl15 became the dictionary definition of a YouTube sensation, with the Los Angeles Times and The New York Times getting involved to find out who she really was. The story started off as a normal video blog, but eventually became a complex plot involving a global conspiracy.
Joss Whedon's famous online series has garnered no end of adulation since it first aired, featuring Neil Patrick Harris as the evil (if inept) Doctor Horrible, and Nathan Fillion as his arch-nemesis, Captain Hammer. The series was released on DVD, and talks of more to come persist indefinitely.

Former Newsweek President Mark Edmiston Explains the Magazine's 'Disaster' First Quarter Ad Sales
Exclusive: Things haven't been looking so great for Newsweek lately. While other newsweeklies gained ad pages last quarter, Newsweek was down 31 percent. And the latest issue had just six ad pages!
"But it's a bit too soon to really tell what is going to happen," said Mark Edmiston, former president of Newsweek, in an interview with FishbowlNY last week.
Edmiston, currently the CEO of the subscription-based digital magazine venture Nomad Editions, held several top positions at Newsweek from 1972 to 1986, and was involved with buying and selling magazines for 18 years. He gave us his take as to why the new Newsweek's figures have looked so grim — and it's not because of Tina Brown.
"One of the worst things that can happen to advertising sales is having a publication for sale," said Edmiston.
In the key selling season for 2011, into the fall of 2010, Washington Post had sort of abandoned [Newsweek]. Salesman, I'm sure, were going out and making calls, but advertisers were saying, "Well I'm not sure who's going to own this thing, what if it's bought by one of the Rusisian oligarchs, who knows what it's going to be like next year," etc.
So what they do, as does anyone in a situation of uncertainty, is put their money back in their pocket. So I'm not at all surprised at the first quarter being a disaster, and it is. But the first quarter was sold in September / October of last year, and it clearly wasn't sold. It's a bit too soon to really tell what is going to happen… The evidence to date doesn't point to anything yet, including the six pages.
Edmiston told FishbowlNY that while Newsweek has certainly taken a different direction since his time there, he doesn't connect the current sales with Brown's new reign.
Tina's revised Newsweek had only two issues in the quarter. Most of the bad advertising numbers are a result of last year, not because of anything that has happened since the Daily Beast merger. Tina has friends and enemies, but most of it is really the fact that people weren't sure what was going to happen next.
The influx of digital media requires weekly magazines to take a different tack, which is what Edmiston speculates that Brown is doing, as is his own current venture. Nomad Editions has 4 weekly magazines — Bodysmart, U+Me, Wide Screen, and Real Eats — all digital. Edmiston described how these digital weeklies came about:
The first reaction everyone had when digital became a factor was just to make replicas of their print publications and sell it. But it's a different experience. Print publications are designed to be read holding in your hand, turning the physical pages, not for a mobile device. So we though if that's the case, let's not look at what we have and how to get it on a tablet, but what it is that people use tablets for.
While the door is not entirely closed on print for the Nomad weeklies, Edmiston says he has no serious plans on going into print at this time. "Instead of trying to take a traditional magazine and convert, we're thinking what's the best way to serve people who want to use mobile devices."

We can add another "just like us" factoid to the reasons we dig J. Lawr: She's pretty darn thrifty. Despite raking in massive paychecks (Catching Fire alone is $10,000,000), the Kentucky native has made a few choices that suggest she may be more savvy with cash than women twice her age. According to financial advisory site GoBankingRates.com, Lawrence practices some sound day-to-day money management, like keeping her economy car even though she can well afford something more chic. (Remember when she ordered a McDonald's Happy Meal on the red carpet? Classic.)
Elle also pointed out five money-management practices employed by the actress, like celebrating what you have and being excited about the things you can afford. (In Lawrence's case, drinking wine on her couch.) The most important tip? Just because you can afford things doesn't mean you should. "That's why mini-bars are difficult," she tells UK publication Fabulous, "because it's like yes, I can afford a $6 Snickers bar, but there's just something wrong with that!" Fame may be fleeting — though unlikely in this case — but good money management is not. (Elle)

SEWANEE, Tenn. -- The Covenant baseball team dropped both non-conference games of a doubleheader against Sewanee on Tuesday afternoon, falling in the first game 8-3 and losing game two 10-6.
The Scots are now at 13-22 on the season, while the Tigers are 16-17.
GAME ONE: Sewanee 8, Covenant 3
Sewanee set the pace of game one very quickly, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first off of four hits, then another two runs off of three hits in the bottom of the second to make the score 5-0.
The Scots were able to hold the Tigers after the first two innings, allowing only one hit in the bottom of the fourth and fifth innings. In the top of the fifth, Joel Johnson put the Scots on the scoreboard with a three-run homer, tying Caleb Bloye's team-high of four home runs on the season and cutting Sewanee's lead down to two runs.
The Tigers answered back with three more runs of their own, with one in the bottom of the fifth and two in the bottom of the sixth. Covenant was unable to obtain the lead, and never got the chance to play the bottom of the seventh inning, falling with a final score of 8-3.
Ben Copeland (1-1) got the start on the mound for the Scots, going 3.0 innings and allowing eight hits. Ty Wilmore came in for 2.0 innings and striking out two batters.
For the Tigers, Harrison Lee (1-5) went 4.1 innings and picked up his first win of the season.
GAME TWO: Sewanee 10, Covenant 6
Sewanee came out of the gate for game two riding the momentum of their game one win, quickly picking up three runs in the bottom of the first after DH Jared Demkowicz cleared the bases with a 3-RBI double.
In the top of the third, Caleb Bloye drove home Christian Murray on a two-out RBI double to make the score 3-1. But in the bottom of fourth, the Tigers took a big lead after scoring six runs on only two hits, finishing the inning with five unearned runs to increase the lead to 9-1.
In the top of the fifth, Forrest Hunter launched a two-run home run to make the score 9-3. The homer was Hunter's first of the season, and the third of his career. In the top of the sixth, the Scots kept up the momentum as Zack Walch, Caleb Bloye, and Joel Johnson picked up an RBI apiece to cut the lead to 9-6.
Sewanee knocked in one more run in the bottom of the sixth to bring the score to 10-6 going into the final inning. In the top of the seventh, Covenant was unable to put any more runs on the scoreboard, ending the game with the 10-6 score.
On the mound for the Scots was sophomore right-hander Sam Doherty (1-2). Doherty went 2.0 innings in his first career start, striking out one batter. Richie Hennessey came in and pitched the final 2.1 innings. Hennessey struck out three batters and allowed one run.
Andrew Naspinski (1-0) picked up his first win of the season for the Tigers, going 3.2 innings before being relieved. Overall, Sewanee put six pitchers on the mound throughout the seven-inning contest.
The Scots will play in their final road game of the season on Tuesday, April 18, against Carson-Newman. The game will begin at 6 p.m. at Smokies Stadium in Sevierville, Tenn.

Ordered Mesoporous TiO2/ZnO Material for Hydrogen Production
- Type: Conference Presentation
- Conference Type: AIChE Annual Meeting
- Presentation Date: October 17, 2011
- Duration: 30 minutes
- Skill Level: Intermediate
- PDHs: 0.50
Ordered mesoporous Zr-doped TiO2/ZnO material is currently being investigated for band gap tuning and higher loadings of photo-sensitizer. Utilization of such mesoporous materials thereby offers an opportunity to sensitize semiconductor with higher sensitizer loadings leading to effective charge separation and higher photo-energy conversion. It may be possible to achieve the band gap tuning as well as higher sensitizer loadings through the formation of Zr-doped mesoporous TiO2/ZnO networks by the sol gel method. Ordered mesoporous Zr-doped TiO2/ZnO materials as thin-film and powder were synthesized using hexadecylamine (HDA) as the surfactant, titanium ethoxide and ZnCl2 precursors. The gels were aged and calcined for 5 hours in nitrogen environment at 500 oC. H2 generation experiments were performed using Zr-doped TiO2/ZnO powder in quartz reactor cell (7 ml) containing water and NaI mixture. The cell was illuminated with 500 W Xe lamp with different power density. The gas samples were withdrawn periodically and analyzed using GC provided with thermal conductivity detector. SEM/TEM analysis of mesoporous TiO2/ZnO material and H2 generation from photocatalytic water-splitting reaction will be presented.

IBM Global Services will throw its considerable resources behind software and services that improve companies' connections to their employees. The service provider Thursday is launching a Dynamic Workplaces division that will specialize in implementing Web-based, self-service applications and integrating those applications behind a common portal interface.
Dynamic Workplaces, which consists of 2,000 IBM Global Services employees and about 300 IBM researchers, will use WebSphere Portal, Lotus Domino Extended Search, Lotus Sametime, Quickplace, Tivoli SecureWay, DB2 Universal Database, and WebSphere Application Server as the foundation for Web-based communication between employers and employees. The division will integrate these portal, messaging, management, and database applications with PeopleSoft human-resources software to create self-service applications that let employees sign up for health-care benefits, manage their 401(k) portfolios, and take E-learning classes.
IBM began implementing a version of this E-workplace technology internally in 1997 and has deployed it to about 320,000 employees worldwide, says Scott Smith, Dynamic Workplaces global executive. IBM employees use the integrated portal to access a "blue pages" directory of colleagues and co-workers, manage HR functions, and conduct online meetings with co-workers. Dynamic Workplaces' pilot customers include Campbell Soup, personnel relocation service provider Cendant Mobility Services, and furniture maker Herman Miller.
Dynamic Workplaces isn't breaking new ground with its integrated portal software and services, but it does offer the resources of the world's largest service provider, says Paul Hamerman, Giga Information Group research director. "These services are in line with what a lot of companies are doing to consolidate employee-facing applications," he says. Although IBM Global Services competitors PwC Consulting, KPMG Consulting, and HP Services also offer business-to-employee software integration services, IBM has more resources to devote to its Dynamic Workplaces group.

Author and screenwriter Alex Garland (The Beach, 28 Days Later) knows how to create tension and an almost existential sense of dread from nothing more than the dark and murky thoughts inside the echo chamber of the mind. So, a film collaboration with director Mark Romanek (One Hour Photo) based on an acclaimed novel by Kazuo Ishiguro (The Remains of the Day) should be a surreal and dramatic vision, an especially vivid dreamscape featuring Carey Mulligan, Keira Knightley and Andrew Garfield as boarding students in an alternative world where medical science has transformed the world into a seemingly disease-free utopia, but at what should be a shockingly high price.
The leads portray the adult versions of a trio of students at Halversham, a private academy that grooms a most exclusive class eager to leave their mark on the world, although they have no idea what is truly in store for them. They barely have a sense of themselves and having lived in isolation, the world at large is yet another great mystery.
Kathy (Mulligan) feels the butterflies of puppy love early on for Tommy (Garfield), but her best friend Ruth (Knightley) steals him away and sets off a spiral of confrontations both personal and cultural. Popular philosopher-academic Cornel West defines being human as the struggle to live against the certainty of inevitable death. Never Let Me Go seeks to apply a new level of meaning and understanding to this existential dilemma by questioning whether humanity can be granted to someone bred simply as a sacrifice, so that others may live longer.
It is an idea that if it had been matched up with a greater sense of urgency, might have achieved something close to the spark found in Alfonso Cuaron's Children of Men. That translation of the PD James thriller about a society struggling to reproduce fought for and earned a degree of spiritual grace in its depiction of the fraying human condition. Instead, what we have here stumbles alongside the adaptation of Blindness, another alternative vision of life and society barely hanging on to its humanity in the face of seismic health dilemmas. The usually reliable Fernando Meirelles (The Constant Gardener) lost sight of the life in Jose Saramago's prose.
And Romanek's film, with its romantic complications in tow, is undeniably artful but airless and lacking both a heartbeat and true soul that its characters are striving to prove that they have. (tt stern-enzi)

Ramla (Hebrew: רַמְלָה, Ramla; Arabic: الرملة, ar-Ramlah) (also Ramlah,[2] Ramle, Remle and sometimes Rama) is a city in central Israel. The city is predominantly Jewish with a significant Arab minority. Ramla was founded circa 705–715 CE by the Umayyad governor and future caliph Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik. Ramla lies along the route of the Via Maris, connecting old Cairo (Fustat) with Damascus, at its intersection with the road connecting the port of Jaffa with Jerusalem.[3]
It was conquered many times in the course of its history, by the Abbasids, the Ikhshidids, the Fatimids, the Seljuqs, the Crusaders, the Mameluks, the Turks, the British, and the Israelis. After an outbreak of the Black Death in 1347, which greatly reduced the population, an order of Franciscan monks established a presence in the city.[4] Under Arab and Ottoman rule the city became an important trade center. Napoleon's French Army occupied it in 1799 on its way to Acre.
Most of the town's Arab residents were expelled or fled during the 1948 Arab–Israeli War while others remained in the town. The town was subsequently repopulated by Jewish immigrants. In 2001, 80% of the population were Jewish and 20% Arab (16% Arab Muslims and 4% Arab Christians).
In recent years, attempts have been made to develop and beautify the city, which has been plagued by neglect, financial problems and a negative public image. New shopping malls and public parks have been built, and a municipal museum opened in 2001.[5]
Today, five prisons are located in Ramla, including the maximum-security Ayalon Prison.

Early Muslim Period
According to the 9th-century Arab geographer Ya'qubi, ar-Ramleh (Ramla) was founded in 716 by the governor of the Filastin district (Jund Filastin), Sulayman ibn Abd al-Malik, brother and successor of Caliph Walid I. Its name was derived from the Arabic word raml (رمل), meaning sand. The early residents came from nearby Ludd (Lydda, Lod). Ramla flourished as the capital of Jund Filastin, which was one of the five districts of the ash-Sham (Syrian) province of the Ummayad and Abbasid empire.
Ramla was the principal city and district capital almost until the arrival of the Crusaders in the 11th century.[6] In the 8th century, the Ummayads built the White Mosque, which was hailed as the finest in the land, outside of Jerusalem. The remains of this mosque, flanked by a minaret added at a later date, can still be seen today. In the courtyard are underground water cisterns from this period.[7]
Ramla was sometimes referred to as Filastin, in keeping with the common practice of referring to districts by the name of their main city.[8]
A geographer, el-Muqadasi ("the Jerusalemite"), describes Ramla at the peak of its prosperity:
- "It is a fine city, and well built; its water is good and plentiful; it fruits are abundant. It combines manifold advantages, situated as it is in the midst of beautiful villages and lordly towns, near to holy places and pleasant hamlets. Commerce here is prosperous, and the markets excellent...The bread is of the best and the whitest. The lands are well favoured above all others, and the fruits are the most luscious. This capital stands among fruitful fields, walled towns and serviceable hospices...".[9]
Ramla's economic importance, shared with the neighboring city of Lydda, was based on its strategic location. Ramla was at the intersection of two major roads, one linking Egypt with Syria (the so-called "Via Maris") and the other linking Jerusalem with the coast.[10]
In 1068 a ground-rupturing earthquake centered in Wadi Arabah left Ramla totally destroyed, killing some 15,000-25,000 inhabitants. The city lay abandoned for four years and never fully recovered it previous status.[11]
Crusader Period
The armies of the First Crusade took the hastily evacuated town without a fight. In the early years of the Crusader Kingdom of Jerusalem though, control over this strategic location led to three consecutive battles between the Crusaders and Egyptian armies from Ascalon. As Crusader rule stabilized, Ramla became the seat of a seigneury in the Kingdom of Jerusalem (the Lordship of Ramla within the County of Jaffa and Ascalon). It was a city of some economic significance and an important way station for pilgrims travelling to Jerusalem. The Crusaders identified it with the biblical Ramathaim and called it Arimathea.[12]
Around 1163, rabbi Benjamin of Tudela, who also mistook it for a more ancient city, visited "Rama, or Ramleh, where there are remains of the walls from the days of our ancestors, for thus it was found written upon the stones. About 300 Jews dwell there. It was formerly a very great city; at a distance of two miles (3 km) there is a large Jewish cemetery."[13] He wrote that the Crusaders had found the bones of Samuel, the biblical prophet, close to a Jewish synagogue in Ramla and "conveyed them unto Shiloh, and erected over them a large church, and called it St. Samuel of Shiloh unto this day".[13] This site is identified with Nebi Samuel overlooking Jerusalem.[13]
Medieval Jewish tradition and modern theories
A tradition reported by Ishtori Haparchi (1280-1355) and other early Jewish writers is that Ramla was Gath.[14] Archaeology indicates that Ramla was not built on the site of an ancient city,[15] but Mazar proposed that ancient Gath lay at a site Ras Abu Hamid east of Ramla.[14] Avi-Yonah, however, considered that to be a different Gath, usually now called Gath-Gittaim.[16] Today, when the identification of Gath with Tell es-Safi has been accepted by most scholars,[17] this dispute is more of interest from the point of view of cultural history, regarding the scholarly attitude towards the establishment of new urban settlements under Arab rule in the Land of Israel/Palestine.
Modern history
In the early days of the Ottoman period, Ramla was a desolate town with few inhabitants. In 1548, 528 Muslim families and 82 Christian families were living there.[18] On March 2, 1799, Napoleon Bonaparte occupied Ramla during his unsuccessful bid to conquer Palestine, using the Franciscan hospice as his headquarters.[19] Expansion began only at the end of the 19th century.[20] Under the British Mandate, the population grew steadily, reaching 12,000 Muslims and 3,300 Christians in 1945.[21]
Ramla was connected to wired electricity (supplied by the Zionist owned Palestine Electric Company) towards the end of the 1920s. Economist Basim Faris noted this fact as proof of Ramla's higher standard of living than neighboring Lydda. In Ramla, he wrote, "economic demands triumph over nationalism" while Lydda, "which is ten minutes' walk from Ramleh, is still averse to such a convenience as electric current, and so is not as yet served; perhaps the low standard of living of the poor population prevents the use of the service at the present rates, which cannot compete with petroleum for lighting".[22]
Although Ramla was primarily an Arab city, it had a small Jewish community until the Arab riots in 1936–1939[23][24] Sheikh Mustafa Khairi was mayor of Ramla from 1920 to 1947.[25] The 1945/46 survey gives 'Ramle' a population of 15,160. Of whom 11,900 were Muslim and 3,260 Christian.[26]
Ramla was part of the territory allotted to a proposed Arab state under the 1947 UN Partition Plan.[27] However, Ramla's geographical location and its strategic position on the main supply route to Jerusalem made it a point of contention during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. A bomb by the Jewish militia group Irgun went off in the Ramla market on February 18, killing 7 residents and injuring 45.[28][29] After a number of unsuccessful raids on Ramla, the Israeli army launched Operation Dani. Ramla was captured on 12–12 July 1948, a few days after the capture of Lydda. The Arab resistance surrendered on July 12,[30] and most of the remaining inhabitants were driven out on the orders of David Ben-Gurion.[31] After the Israeli capture, some 1000 Arabs remained in Ramla, and more were transferred to the town by the IDF from outlying Arab settlements which the military wanted emptied. As of 2000, the total population of Arab refugees and their descendents with origins in Ramla was estimated by Benny Morris and other historians at 635,000.
Arab homes of those who left in Ramla were given by the Israeli government to Jewish immigrants arriving at this time. In February 1949, the Jewish population was over 6,000. Ramla remained economically depressed over the next two decades, although the population steadily mounted, reaching 34,000 by 1972.[32]
In the 1960s, Ramla was noted for its movie theaters and vibrant nightclub scene, which later relocated to Tel Aviv.
In 2015, Ramla had one of Israel's highest crime rates.[33]
The city suffered severe damage from earthquakes in 1033, 1068, 1070, 1546, and 1927.[34]
Landmarks and notable buildings
The Tower of Ramla, also known as the White Tower, was built in the 13th century. It served as the minaret of the White Mosque(al-Masjid al-Abyad) erected by Caliph Suleiman in the 8th century, of which only remnants remain today.[35] The tower is six-stories high, with a spiral staircase of 119 steps.[36]
The Hospice of St. Nicodemus and St. Joseph of Arimathea on Ramla's main boulevard, Herzl Street, is easily recognized by its clock-faced, square tower. It belongs to the Franciscan church. Napoleon used the hospice as his headquarters during his Palestine campaign in 1799.
The Ramla Museum is housed in the former municipal headquarters of the British Mandatory authorities. The building, from 1922, incorporates elements of Arab architecture such as arched windows and patterned tiled floors. After 1948, it was the central district office of the Israeli Ministry of Finance. In 2001, the building became a museum documenting the history of Ramla.[37]
The Pool of Arches, an underground water cistern, is currently under restoration. Also known as St. Helen's Pool and Bīr al-Anezīya, it was built during the reign of the caliph Haroun al-Rashid in 789 AD (the early Islamic period) to provide Ramla with a steady supply of water.[38]
Ramleh Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemetery is the largest Commonwealth war cemetery in Israel.
The Giv'on immigration detention centre is located in Ramla.
Archaeological excavations in Ramla conducted in 1992–1995 unearthed the remains of a dyeing industry (Dar al-Sabbaghin, house of the Dyers) near the White Mosque; hydraulic installations such as pools, subterranean reservoirs and cisterns; and abundant ceramic finds that include glass, coins and jar handles stamped with Arabic inscriptions.[39]
Cave with rare ecosystem
In May 2006, a cave was discovered in Ramla which sustains a most seldom type of ecosystem, based on bacteria that create all the energy they need chemically, from the sulfur compounds they find in the water, with no light or organic food coming in from the surface. A bulldozer working in the Nesher cement quarry on the outskirts of Ramla accidentally broke into the subterranean cavern. The finds have been attributed to the cave's isolation, which led to the evolution of a whole food chain of specially developed organisms, including several previously unknown species of invertebrates. With several large halls on different levels, it measures Script error: No such module "convert". long, making it the third largest limestone cave in Israel.[40]
One of the finds was an eyeless scorpion, given the name Akrav israchanani honoring the researchers who identified it, Israel Naaman and Hanan Dimentman. All ten specimen of the blind scorpion found in the cave had been dead for several years, possibly because recent overpumping of the groundwater has led the underground lake to shrink, and with it the food supply to dwindle. Seven more species of troglobite crustaceans and springtails were discovered in "Noah's Ark Cave", as the Ayyalon Cave has been dubbed by journalists, several of them unknown to science.[41]

Ramla Railway Station provides an hourly service on the Israel Railways Tel Aviv–Jerusalem line. The station is located in north east side of the city and originally opened in April 1891, making it the oldest active railway station in Israel.[45] It was most recently reopened on April 12, 2003 after having been rebuilt in a new location closer to the town's center.
According to CBS, there are 31 schools and 12,000 students in the city. These include 22 elementary schools with a student population of 7,700 and nine high schools with a population of 3,800. In 2001, 47% of Ramla's 12th grade students graduated with a bagrut matriculation certificate. Many of the Jewish schools are run by Jewish orthodox organisations.

Hoboken City Council Debates Missing Parking Meter Revenue
- 2-13-2008
- Categorized in: Parking Utility
A million bucks, [that's FOUR MILLION quarters weighing almost 50,000 pounds], reported missing from the Hoboken Parking Utility "parking meter" collections revenue? That was the question asked by Hoboken Third Ward Councilman Michael Russo at the City Council's Budget Hearing on December 6, 2006.
Two weeks later at the December 19, 2007 City Council Meeting, Parking Utility Director John Correa advised the Council that he initated an internal audit of parking meter revenues in response to Russo's inquiry. The audit showed a difference of Thirty-Four Dollars and Sixty-One cents ($34.61). Sixty-One cents? Damm, those "penny parking meters" can really screw up the accounting system.
January 16, 2008 City Council meeting: The public speaks out on the "missing" funds.
February 6, 2008 meeting: City Council members discussed the recently received New Jersey State mandated "auditors report" for FY2007 (July 1, 2006 - June 30, 2007).
- 2nd Ward Councilwoman Beth Mason "carefully" expresses her concern about accounting deficiencies.
- Fifth Ward Councilman Peter Cunningham comments "I have serious concerns with the lack of controls picked up in this years audit. I am extremely upset over the audit findings over our lack of controls with cash." Cunningham also called for a FORENSIC ACCOUNTANT to look into the matter and said "For God sake, clearly, this audit indicates that we've got money going out the back door and something needs to be done about it."

Yukon Quest 2017 – Day 7
Hank DeBruin and his 8 Siberians made it to Dawson just before midnight local time, and Brent made it to Eagle at 5AM AKST [8AM CST]
The Finish line in Fairbanks has been moved off the river because the ice may not be thick enough for the teams and spectators.
Yuka Honda scratched at Dawson for 'well-being of her dogs'. The loss of Firefly was too big a burden.
In other sled dog news, Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race restart to move to Fairbanks. I assume they will use the 2015 route, but they moved the finish of the Quest because of questionable ice on the Tanana, so the Iditarod may have to get creative.

Author(s): Chuck Wendig
Miriam Black is trying to live an ordinary life, keeping her ability to see how someone dies hidden...until a serial killer crosses her path. This is the second book in the Miriam Black series. "Visceral and often brutal, this tale vibrates with emotional rawness that helps to paint a bleak, unrelenting picture of life on the edge." --"Publishers Weekly" Miriam is trying. Really, she is. But this whole "settling down thing" just isn't working out. She lives on Long Beach Island all year in a run-down, double-wide trailer. She works at a grocery store as a checkout girl. And her relationship with Louis--who's on the road half the time in his truck--is subject to the mood swings Miriam brings to everything she does. It just isn't going well. Still, she's keeping her psychic ability--to see when and how someone is going to die just by touching them--in check. But even that feels wrong somehow. Like she's keeping a tornado stopped up in a tiny bottle. Then comes the one bad day that turns it all on her ear.
Chuck Wendig is equal parts novelist, screenwriter, and game designer - A.K.A. an all-around "freelance penmonkey." You can probably find him on the side of a highway holding a sign, "Will Write For Booze." He currently lives in the wilds of Pennsyltucky with wife, dog, and infant heir to the Wendig throne. You can find him dispensing dubious writing advice at his blog, terribleminds.com. Chuck was nominated for the 2013 John W. Campbell Award for Best New Writer.

Who always wanted to know what the house of Bent Angelo Jensen looks like? We did. Now it's possible. Because Freunde von Freunden has visited the extroverted designer of Herr von Eden at home.
We're learning: Jensen has the best alcohol in the closet. Art on the wall. And, as expected, numerous suits in the closet, too.
Bent, are you originally from Hamburg?
No, I moved here. I have lived here now, with breaks, for 15 years. Two of those years I spent in Copenhagen. I began to feel like a real native of Hamburg since the second year of having been here. It was right after having spent christmas in Hamburg for the first time. Before that, I would always go home for the holidays.
More pictures, more questions and more answers at Freunde von Freunden.

Kirk's kōhūhū (Pittosporum kirkii) and Kohurangi (Brachyglottis kirkii var. kirkii)
Two threatened specialised shrub epiphytes are represented in the park, Kirk's kōhūhū (Pittosporum kirkii) and Kohurangi (Brachyglottis kirkii var. kirkii). Both species are found in the lowland and montane forests of Mt Taranaki, Pouākai and Kaitake Ranges, however Pittosporum kirkii is rare on the Kaitake Range.
Kirk's kōhūhū has narrow leathery thick leaves that are widest towards the tip. Its flowers are yellow and sometimes tinged with red and in a cluster at the end of twigs. Its capsules are 2.5 – 4 cm long, splitting into two revealing the shiny black seeds in a yellow pith. The plant is dioecious which means there are separate male and female plants, and this may constrain survival if populations have unbalanced sex ratios.
Kohurangi is a fleshy leaved daisy that is most noticeable when it produces large white daisy-like flowers in spring. These flowers hang down like beautiful chandelier from its perch on tall host trees such as rimu, rata, miro and kamahi. Windborne seeds develop in late spring and disperse from dandelion-like structures.
Did you know
Pests have been the main cause of these two species declining across the country? Early botanical records suggest that both species were more common, growing on the ground and in the trees before pests such as goats and possums became firmly established. As a result of their vulnerability to browsing, Kirk's kōhūhū and kohurangi are useful indicators of ecosystem health.

Paul Routledge, owner of the tenant blacklisting Landlord Referencing website, launched the business on the back of a lurid tale about being stabbed in the head by a rogue tenant after interrupting a drug deal in one of his properties.
In an interview on youtube Routledge tells how this experience in 2010 inspired him to set up the website on which landlords can place tenants on a blacklist as well as share 'lifestyle' information about former tenants. Whilst no-one was ever prosecuted for the attack on Routledge it did give him a publicity boost in the early days of his blacklisting service. It might even have elicited some sympathy from his critics. Despite his site being a recipe for abuse and landlord enforced homelessness, it is possible to understand why he might have taken such drastic action after a horrific attack.
But it's simply not true that Routledge was inspired by this event. Routledge first set up a tenant blacklist in 2000 as this copy of Resistance (PDF), the newsletter published by the Anarchist Federation reveals.
Routledge claimed back then that he was inspired to set up the service by the News of the World's decision to publish details of paedophiles. The multi-millionaire landlord said he had let to tenants who had turned out to be drug dealers, whilst other tenants had removed carpets from his properties and he had been burgled countless times – although what this has to do with bad tenants is unclear.
According to Routledge: "I had to do something about it. It's like the News of the World printing the names of paedophiles. OK, some paedophiles might have suffered but someone had to start it off".
The site, called LandlordsData.com, drew controversy at the time even winning a Big Brother award from Privacy International for the Most Appalling Project in 2002.
Ultimately the project seems to have failed and Routledge was still managing to let his properties to drug dealers as late as 2010 when he was attacked.
His resurrected blacklist has drawn heavy criticism recently largely due to comments left by landlords on his internet forum. These suggest tenants have been blacklisted because they had a dog, had a dispute with their landlord over money, were accused of smoking cannabis or in one case simply for being 'lazy and rude'.
Many other forum members, and Routledge himself, have made comments about tenants on benefits which are just plain nasty, whilst other landlords registered with the company claim they wouldn't let to some ethnic groups.
Paul Routledge's (@Paul_Rout) defence of his blacklist is that landlords are good honest people who would never lie about a tenant. Yet he cannot even bring himself to tell the truth about what inspired his business. Can this man really be trusted to be the gatekeeper of the community he styles himself as?

Research Project
Grant-in-Aid for international Scientific Research
Academic Year 1991Dr. Makino visited University of Edinburgh and developed a Hermite integration code for the simulations with the special purpose computer, GRAPE, in collaboration with Drs. Heggie, McMillan, and Aarseth (Cambridge University). This code is simpler and more suitable to GRAPE than the Aarseth code, which has been widely used in the N-body simulations of collisional gravitational systems.Dr.McMillan visited University of Tokyo and implemented his simulation code for stellar cluster to GRAPE-2A in collaboration with Dr.Inagaki. Dr.Hunquist also visited in University of Tokyo and implemented his SPH code to GRAPE-2A. They confirmed that GRAPE systems are suitable to the use of both two codes.Academic Year 1992Drs.Makino, Hut, and Hunquist systematically investigated the error in the tree code, which is used in collisionless gravitational systems. They found the tree code offers an accuracy high enough for gravitational N-body simulations. Dr.Hachisu developed a vortex dyna

mics code of incompressible fluid simulations. He found that GRAPE systems can greatly accelerate the vortex dynamics simulations as well as gravitational N-body simulations.Academic Year 1993We held a workshop on the dynamical evolution of dense stellar systems and the development of special purpose computers to summarize the results of three-years collaborations in Komaba campus University of Tokyo. We concluded that the direct collision of stars plays an important role in dense stellar systems. Drs.Hachisu, Ueno, and Miyama investigated the various types of computational fluid dynamics codes and concluded that the Gudnov type SPH method is most suitable to the special purpose computers for the simulations of self-gravitational fluid. The conceptual and detailed designs of the special purpose computer for SPH were done in collaboration of University of Tokyo and National Astronomical Observatory. In the academic year 1994, we shall make a test board of SPH machine and start to develop a special purpose LSI for the SPH code. Less

| 7.1°C Belfast
"I'm a Christian and that is why I am in the DUP. I'm not sure if I wasn't a Christian that I would be in the DUP."
These are the words of one DUP councillor to Professor Tonge's researchers.
The DUP emerges as an extremely religious party in a society where church attendance, though still high, is slowly falling off.
Peter Robinson, the party leader, who is one of the tiny 1.1% of members who belong to the Elim Pentecostal Church, sets the tone. When asked how much influence "church and faith" should have on its policies he draws a distinction.
"I don't think that the church should have any influence on it (DUP policy). People's own faith will guide them in terms of their outlook on life and therefore, from a structural institutional point of view, it (the score) should be a zero, but from a personal point of view, it should be 10," he says. Nigel Dodds, the deputy leader and a Free Presbyterian, sees the DUP as a party in the European Christian Democratic tradition.
Paul Girvan, an MLA who chairs the finance and personnel committee at Stormont, believes that "politics came about through religion. If you use the Ten Commandments you can formulate almost every law you will ever need".
Jim Wells sees the party as a brake on Northern Ireland "becoming less and less evangelical and Christian".
Just 2% of DUP members, compared to 10% of respondents in the 2011 census, say they are non-religious and it almost goes without saying that the form of religion in vogue within the party ranks is overwhelmingly Protestant. The Roman Catholic Church, of which 41% of the population of Northern Ireland are members, is our largest denomination, but despite efforts by the leadership to reach across the religious divide, only 0.6% of DUP members, perhaps six or seven people, are members of the Catholic Church.
Not a single DUP member out or the 75% who responded is a Muslim or a member of any non- Christian religions. That compares to 30.5% who are Free Presbyterians, the largest denom- ination in the party.
Its dominance is, however, slipping. Mainstream Presbyterianism accounts for 29.1% of DUP members, though 39.2% were born Presbyterians, and it is likely to become the main denomination in a few years.
Church of Ireland is next in popularity with 17.7% of members, Baptists and Methodists have 4.2% each, and the rest are made up of a scatter of small denominations like Brethren.
Belfast Telegraph
Liam Clarke
The DUP is often painted as a secretive, highly disciplined and tightly controlled party run along strict centralist lines. Yet it has shown remarkable courage and transparency in opening itself to academic scrutiny in this way.

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing beautiful little Katie, after her mummy had called when she was up visiting family to see if I could squeeze them in for a newborn session. Luckily, the day after she called I was available - so she was lucky! And I was lucky then to get snuggles from this gorgeous little lady!
Katie, was an absolute dream, and whilst she did do some wee's on my props, she more than made up for it with how sleepy she was! And just look at all that hair! <3 p="">
Grandma knitted the above blanket which I had to use for a shot - afterall, it is something that means something, and I dare you not to smile at the image below!
Gorgeous little lady - much loved by all of her family! I love creating precious little memories! <3 p="">3>

When driving down the road the guage willdrop to empty and the panel will read low fuel when the tank is full. when the car is turned off then restarted the guage will function correctly.
We recommend Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner Chevron 67740 Techron Concentrate Plus Fuel System Cleaner - 12 oz.
This would be your first level of action.
Second would be to always use top tier gasoline see site http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers.html
Stay away from ethanol blends if possible. The alcohol is very corrosive.
And your final and really ultimate solution would be to replace the fuel level sensor in the LH tank. ACDelco SK1318 Fuel Level Sensor Assembly
Just remember to follow previous steps to stop the same thing happening to the new sensor.

I found two small crewel embroidered pillows some time ago.
At first, I wanted to make bags from them. But they ended up being upcycled into dresses. This is one of the dresses (still working on the second one).
I combined them with light-weight Italian wool and lined the skirt.
And a quick update on the recent finds:
1) Hand-painted plate by Vera; lady bug logo on the back. I think those are plums but not sure.
2). Several pieces of vintage fabric.

Would you want to see Jon and Kate Gosselin back on TV together? It could happen, TMZ is reporting — as long as Kate is willing to eat a slice of humble pie. Speaking for Jon, his lawyer Anthony List says Kate has gotten "caught up in the glamour of Hollywood" and needs to make a serious decision: be a star, or be a mom!
Even if Kate loses on Dancing with the Stars this week, Anthony says John will continue fighting for custody of his children. He feels Kate has become "addicted to the paprazzi," and will only continue to seek more fame once her stint on the ABC competition show is over. And considering Kate has already signed on to two new shows on TLC, that's not such a far-fetched statement.
BFFs, where do you stand on the latest Jon-Kate battle? Do you agree that Kate has totally lost track of her parenting in favor of a Hollywood lifestyle? Or is Jon just trying to take the heat off his own parental shortcomings by pointing fingers?
