Pune: After the angry mobs took over parts of Pune and went on a rampage on Sunday, Pune police have promised that Monday will not see a repeat.
Over 190 PMPML buses were ransacked and several areas saw incidents of stone-pelting, besides shop owners being forcibly asked to down shutters in the Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad areas following the derogatory and objectionable images that were circulated on social media sites. By evening, however, the tension subsided with traffic resuming back to normal and markets reopening.
The Pune police detained over 100 people across the city by Sunday evening. Joint commissioner of police Sanjeey Kumar said, "The heavy bandobast deployed on Sunday will continue on Monday as well and people need not fear of any untoward incident and can go to work. Three companies of SRPF, three Quick Response Teams along with the entire police force including over 8,000 local police will be deployed. Our focus will be on Zone 3 and Zone 4, i.e., Pimpri Chinchwad, Hadapsar, Yerawada and Vishrwantwadi areas that are more sensitive." He added that additional DCP-rank officers will be deployed in these areas to keep a vigil on anti-social elements. Deepak Pardeshi, PRO for PMPML said that they are geared up for a normal commuting day.
Trouble began on Saturday evening in Chinchwad after reports of derogatory content about Shivaji Maharaj and late Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on social media sites. Soon the protests spread like wildfire across the city. The most affected areas were Kothrud, Sinhagad Road, Hadapsar, Tilak Road and all the PCMC areas where incidents of bus ransacking and arson took place. Despite being a Sunday, the citizens chose to remain at home and avoided outings. In Kothrud area, especially near Bhosari Colony and Mahatma Society Karve statue all shops were forced to down shutters. Even the ATMs were shut while the Pimpri-Chinchwad belt saw most of the stone-pelting activity.
In Tilak Road and Sinhagad Road, people kept off the roads as PMPML buses were damaged while in Hadapsar too angry mobs pelted stones at shops that were seen doing business. At Sinhagad Road, even petrol pumps were forced to shut down.
stranded on E-way
The traffic on Pune-Mumbai expressway was disrupted for one hour between 12.45 pm and 1.45 pm after protesters staged a 'rasta roko' near Kiwale bridge. Hundreds of activists and local corporators had gathered at the bridge. One of the officials from the highway police said that since Kiwale is the junction where expressway and old Mumbai -Pune highway meet, the blockage here caused major traffic disruption as vehicles from all the sides got stranded. Umang Oswal, co-founder of Pune Instagrammers group who was travelling from Khopoli to Pune was one such person stuck in the jam near Urse toll plaza for over an hour. "I didn't know what was happening. There was a long queue of vehicles and traffic wasn't moving. It was only after the traffic cleared and I saw police vehicles and protesters at the toll plaza that I realised a 'rasta roko' was being staged. "
Buses and trains delayed
At Pune railway station's ST bus stand, the passengers had to face inconvenience due to delay in the bus movement. Sangeeta Barve (25), a resident said, "I work in a software firm in Mumbai and I had to report at my office at 4 pm but now that I am stranded here I wont be able to report on time." The buses were allowed to go at 4:15 pm after a delay of 6 hours. About eight trains were half-an-hour late till 11 in the morning. Passengers had to face a lot of inconvenience in the morning hours.
Police inspector, citizens hurt
Nilesh Jagdale, an assistant police inspector attached with Hinjewadi police station sustained head injuries after a group of protesters attacked him when he tried to stop them from stone pelting on hotels and roadside shops. The incident took place on NDA Pashan Road on Sunday morning. Camp-based property consultant Shreya Shewale was hit by a bottle hurled by a mob. "I was going to Warje to meet my friend and when I reached on Laxmi Road, I saw a huge mob who were shouting slogans. When I went ahead, someone threw a bottle which hit me on my back."
Cyber cell begins probe
After the Kothrud police registered a case under relevant sections of IT and IPC, the cyber cell of the Pune police has started investigating the case and managed to block three links which were taking rounds on the social media site. "We have managed to delete the posts and have written to the Computer Incidents Response Team to provide information related to the posting of objectionable images," said DCP (cyber) Rajesh Bansode. He said that since the servers of these social media websites are based out of India, the investigations will take some time.

ever done a greyscale in gouache?
just finished a greyscale in gouache paint
man, i never thought it'd be so frustrating
i'm new to paints, well art as a whole, so everytime i'd turn around something would go wrong. first the mixture of black to white was off so i couldn't paint swatches in sequence, then i couldn't get a proper consistency, then i'd accidentally smudge the good swatches, then i'd accidentally get a microscopic amount of rubber cement on a swatch therefore ruining it so i'd have to go back and match the color exactly to get the precision. finally after six hours i'm freaking finished!
sorry if this seems long and pointless but i couldn't think of a better way to vent my frustration
if anyone else has gone through this long process by all means post a reply

arg! yes! I'm taking design, and our teacher required that we do a 9 step greyscale in gouache, and then a contrast scale and then a color wheel and a compliment scale and monochromatic scale. The grey scale was the worst though - it made me so frustrated!
First everything was too watery, and it was transparent, then it was too stiff and it cracked. The surface is so delicate that if you get anything on it, it's ruined.
Turns out, the key is to paint the swatch with a bit of really watered down gouache first and then paint over that, you get a much better surface and no cracking.
Gouache scales make me bitter.

Interactive Whiteboards for Africa
Friday, April 23rd, 2010 | IWBs
It is with great pleasure that I can let you know that the book Interactive Whiteboards for Africa – 101 Questions was launched last week. The book is based on postings that appeared on this blog, enhanced by many of your comments (thanks for that!). See the catalogue for a full listing of all the chapters.
The book will be made available in hard copy format to teachers who do not have access to the internet. Kind donors made the printing of several thousand copies possible.
Interactive Whiteboards for Africa is not a training manual – it is an advocacy tool that can be used to let teachers know it is cool to use interactive whiteboards.

Well done, Kobus!
Friday, 23 April, 2010
Congratulations on publishing your book…
Having read some of your blog on the subject, I know your book will be full of useful information.
Friday, 23 April, 2010
Congratulations again! I see you have writer's blog. I think this is quite a clever way to write a book. The critique from a number of "non-experts" are free and this is before the experts (editors) edit it. Also, the "non- experts" also give a realistic feel to the book. I think it will be of use if people will read it and take the advice to empower themselves.
Just being curious, but are you starting another book?
Saturday, 24 April, 2010
Well done I want a COPY now !! and ASAP.
Saturday, 24 April, 2010
Mark, yes, there was a block for a while – I had some family trauma, demanding much of my attention, but I am back on track! You are so right … this is the perfect way to write a book. Nobody has all the wisdom on a subject – blogging allows you to put ideas out there and let others with insight in the topic (or with lots of experience) add their comments. In this way one can publish the collective wisdom of a number of people. And yes, I am working on a few other ideas at present!
Wednesday, 5 May, 2010
Well done Kobus and thank you for your initiative and guidance on subjects like this which will definitely enhance teaching and learning.
We hope this will be part of WCED and National Education deparment's next stategy to improve the quality of teaching in South Africa.
Yes, Mark, he is starting another book:are you not also an e – pioneer?
Wednesday, 5 May, 2010
Wow, congrats! Glad to be part of that thought experiment and I hope its useful for the many people who aren't online.
Friday, 14 May, 2010
I started reading the book last night, thank you Kobus, I can see there is still a need for hard copies and such a pleasant and easy to read format. Everyone should order their copies now, it is definitely worth while reading and information, well research and a well balanced view.

Sonoco Nailed Wood and Plywood Reels See Surcharge
By Bill Esler | Posted: 12/17/2012 10:52PM
HARTSVILLE, SC - Sonoco (NYSE: SON) says increased lumber and plywood costs are leading it to raise surcharges to 13.4% on its nailed wood reels and 8.8% for plywood reels, beginning Jan. 1, 2013.
"Lumber and plywood pricing continue to rise against traditional downward trends normally seen in the late fall and winter," said Greg Powell, general manager, Sonoco Reels, in announcing the hike. Powell said lumber prices have increased for six consecutive weeks, reaching a new high. Plywood pricing has continued to rise due to tightening supply and improving demand as housing recovers.
"As a result, we must adjust our reel surcharges accordingly," Powell said. Sonoco Reel last raised prices in June.
Sonoco Reels made from nailed wood, plywood, poly-fibers, molded plastic and steel materials. are used by the wire and cable industry to serve the power transmission and distribution; telecommunications; commercial and industrial building; oil and gas; mining and marine industries.

Determined to get money in a hurry by any means possible, Molly arranges for her sexy daughter Lily (Jennifer Morrison) to "accidentally" meet wealthy young Claude Stevens (Will Wallace). Unfortunately for Molly, her best-laid plans may all be for naught: Claude's dad has threatened to cut the boy off without a cent if he marries Lily.

Has anyone else noticed just how meaningless "horsepower" has become? In my youth, the State of Ohio had facilities for measuring brake horsepower and listed it on automotive titles. My father's Hudson, according to the dealer -- 150 HP; according to the state -- 27 HP.
Considering the insane inflation of advertising claims since then, can anyone anywhere actually believe that advertising horsepower has any relevance?
Not me.

Pivot WC Team's First Ride on X-Fusion's RV1 DH Fork 3
Credit: Max Houtzager
The Pivot Cycles World Cup DH Team came to town for the Sea Otter Classic and paid a visit to X-Fusion's HQ located just North in Santa Cruz, CA. While in town they spent some valuable pre-season time on board the brand new X-Fusion RV1 DH fork. They hit the Santa Cruz Mountains and got up to speed underneath the giant redwood trees for the first time on their 2013 race bikes. Bernard Kerr and Austin Warren felt right at home as you'll see in this edit. Enjoy!

Nova Scotia
Restaurants in Nova Scotia
Expect to find plenty of fresh seafood on the menu at Nova Scotia restaurants. Travelers will revel in the abundance of just-caught Atlantic lobster and Digby scallops, gracing dishes like mussel salad, Acadian seafood stew and lobster chowder. Nova Scotia's Annapolis Valley also provides much of the region's fresh produce, from blueberries to fiddleheads, and celebrates its robust apple harvest each year with a four-day Apple Blossom Festival. No visitor should leave Nova Scotia without visiting one of the province's ubiquitous farmers' markets, where vendors supply the freshest local tastes. Fancy a tipple? Nova Scotia is also home to a number of breweries, distilleries and wineries, which supply whiskey, wine and amber ale to suit all tastes.
Nova Scotia's abundance of fresh local produce doesn't diminish the province's flair for international cuisine, evident in the many cosmopolitan restaurants dotting the coastline. To sample French cooking at its finest, visit Fleur de Sel, which serves up local delicacies and organic produce served in a bright and lively dining room. The shabby-chic Bicycle Thief, a favorite among local foodies, offers a modern twist on seafood staples, including polenta with wild mushroom ragout, pistachio-honey roasted salmon and pancetta-wrapped pork tenderloin. Read on to discover the best restaurants in Nova Scotia.
Chef-owner Earlene Busch will whip up a four-course meal, including a surprisingly good dessert of cheesecake with chanterelle sauce.
Siblings Heather, Raylene, and Cookie Rankin, of the well-known Celtic singing trio the Rankin Sisters, recently renovated Mabou's Red Shoe Pub. The haute pub cuisine includes Acadian tourtière (meat pie) and fresh beer-battered haddock.

i was sittin in the kerrat sector and kerrat itself just saying that i fly my recon like an escort!
the number of pm's and messages i got saying you cant fly a science ship like an escort and that i must be stupid. so i played a couple people in 1v1.
one dude in an escort thought he was "toying" with me by being in an mvam and didnt use the attack mode. i killed him and he said
"no its time to get serious"
so he use attack mode and managed to kill me, he was all happy go lucky so i said- again?
we went at it again and i killed him, said "impossible!" and then we chatted a bit about what i used and how i used it.
dont think i convinced him though my recon was flown like an escort sadly :/
was fun all around for both of us
then a second dude accepted the 1v1 and wehn he actually saw me he warped out and said "i dont fly against pvp'rs"
i was kind of confused by this...
ah well.

Qtopia to Debut at the Florida Educational Technology Conference
Qtopia, an online learning platform for K"Â8 communities, will launch at FETC
Puyallup, WA (PRWEB) February 1, 2011
Qtopia, a free online learning platform with thousands of ready"Âto"Âuse practice materials, will be revealed at FETC. The online environment provides student access to educational activities, games, and homework from anywhere with internet access. The service was developed by Qwizdom and is available for immediate use at Qtopia.com.
"Qtopia was created with the educator and learning process in mind. Ease of use and flexibility are not only key features but they were the cornerstone in our development process. What we have created is an online community for students and teachers that makes learning successful, measurable, and fun," said Darin Beamish, CEO of Qwizdom.
Students can personalize their own account with customizable avatars, Qtopians, who grow with each student as they overcome challenges and earn rewards, encouraging student motivation. Educators can save time and paper when assigning homework and other activities that feature automatic grading, instant feedback, and data tracking. Online messaging and reporting tools make it easy for teachers to keep parents informed on their student's progress and assignments.

They play a decisive role in 40 to 50 seats in both Seemandhra and Telangana regions
The Muslim factor continues to bedevil parties across the political spectrum in the State. Particularly, in the changed political landscape post bifurcation, which way the minorities votes will swing has assumed importance.
Right from the crowded by lanes of the old city in Hyderabad to the drought prone areas of Anantapur district, the question doing the rounds is how the Muslim voters will exercise their franchise.
The largest minority group in the united Andhra Pradesh, the community accounts for 9.2 per cent of the total population. According to one estimate, it can play a decisive role in about 40 to 50 constituencies in Seemandhra and Telangana regions.
Both in Rayalaseema and Telangana the Muslim voter percentage is 12.5 per cent while it is 4.5 per cent in south coastal region. In scores of segments in Chittoor, Kurnool, Anantapur, Kadapa, Nellore, Guntur and the Telangana districts there is a substantial presence of Muslims. The community is definitely in a position to decide the outcome of the coming polls, it is said.
Different community-specific organisations are at work to ensure that this 'inherent power' to influence events is used judicially. Analysts feel the electoral behaviour of the Muslims will be different in Telangana and Seemandhra.
However, there is near unanimity as far as the BJP is concerned. The community is bent on halting the march of the saffron party by tactical use of its votes. The Telugu Desam, which has gravitated to the BJP, has fallen foul with the minorities. The party is not expected to get the community support this time.
Though Muslims are happy with the TRS for realising the dream of Telangana, they suspect its credentials vis-à-vis the minorities. There is also a fear that it might side with the NDA post election. Muslim votes are expected to get divided between Congress and TRS in the region.
In the residuary State, the minorities are likely to sail with the YSRCP. But they are unsure about the commitment of the YSRCP leader, Jagan Mohan Reddy, for uplift of the community. "The picture is hazy and the stand of political parties on minority issues is still unclear", says Majlis president Asaduddin Owaisi.
Apart from its traditional stronghold in Hyderabad, the Majlis plans to contest quite a few Assembly seats in Telangana and Seemandhra this time. The party enjoys considerable clout among minorities and expects the community to support secular candidates where it is not in fray.
The All India Majlise Tameer-e-Millat, a socio-religious group, has appealed to Muslims to support the Majlis in the coming elections in the State and the Muslim League in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
But in final analysis, how the Muslim masses vote will be determined by their core concerns regarding security, education and economic issues.

Politicians routinely overestimate their constituents' conservatism by as much as 20 percentage points, according to a University of Michigan study. That creates "an effective supermajority requirement" for passing liberal legislation, with lawmakers unlikely to support bills unless it has the support of 60% or so of their constituents, writes Garance Franke-Ruta.

Appreciating and collecting art is meant to be enjoyed by everyone, not just limited to the savvy collector. To help enhance the art-buying experience, Art Alive has brought together works of internationally celebrated painters available at affordable prices.
The exhibition titled, Indian Contemporary Art, showcases the works of master painters Sakti Burman, Laxma Goud, Anjolie Ela Menon, Thota Vaikuntam, Prabhakar Kolte, Paresh Maity, Jayasri Burman, Nayanaa Kanodia and Maya Burman among others.
Display varying styles and art forms, the exhibition makes the works of these painters available at lesser prices to art lovers in the city. The art show offers a real trove of affordable works for collectors with a good eye. The paintings are a combination of influences from both Indian tradition and Western culture.
Talking about his works on display, painter Sakti Burman, says, "Through my paintings I want to evoke the look of a weathered fresco, depicting figures in hues that the viewer feels were once vivid, but are now faded. The perspective and composition of my work here are of medieval icons." The painter who is deeply inspired by French Impressionist art uses a marbling effect, and employs pointillism to apply paint and was recently felicitated by the Bombay Art Society.
Among other contemporary works, his canvas on display rediscovers a lost paradise, where human characters and godly images evoke memories of ancient tempered frescoes. The other works of art also weave a contemporary display where the reality mingles with the imaginary.

Photo: Instagram Big Sean
Big Sean was spotted enjoying a basketball date with R&B singer Jhene Aiko yesterday.
For those who are unfamiliar, Jhene is the mother to two of new Maybach Music signee Omarion's nephews and nieces, as the result of a romance with his younger brother O'Ryan.
G.O.O.D. Music rapper Sean can be seen cuddling up to the beauty with his arm wrapped around her, as she poses with the peace sign, while watching the LA Lakers. Sean and Jhene were then seen outside the arena posing with a fan for photos.
Sean posted a photo of the two on Instagram, along with the caption: "Me n @jheneaiko had good laker game... Denver was ballin, drinks were cold, good ass day."
It is not known if the pair are dating but the snaps show they appear to be very close and have certainly formed a friendship.
Do you think Sean and Jhene make a nice couple? Check out the pics below.

NBA: Jazz down lackluster Lakers
LOS ANGELES – Paul Millsap scored 24 points with nine rebounds to lead the Utah Jazz to a 117-110 NBA victory on Sunday over the struggling Los Angeles Lakers.
The Jazz withstood 34 points from Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant and have now won three straight, while Los Angeles Lost for the seventh time in 10 games.
Mo Williams scored 22 points and Al Jefferson chipped in 14 with 11 rebounds for Utah.
Enes Kanter came off the bench to score 14 points with six rebounds and Gordon Hayward also contributed 14 points.
The Lakers never led in the second half and trailed by as many as 15 in the fourth quarter.
A last-gasp surge pulled the Lakers to 115-110 with 1:10 remaining, but Bryant missed two three-point attempts with less than a minute to play.
Jordan Hill added a career-high 17 points and nine rebounds for the Lakers, who were without Pau Gasol for the fourth successive game because of tendinitis in his knees.
Lakers coach Mike D'Antoni said before the game his current plan was to have Spain's Gasol back in the starting lineup when he returns, rather than bringing him off the bench.
"He's too important to the team and he's earned it and he's too good of a player to even go there yet," D'Antoni said.
Although D'Antoni benched him the fourth quarter of two games before Gasol began resting his sore knees, the coach acknowledged that the team's offensive scheme had contributed to Gasol's ineffectiveness.
"There's times when we're not exploiting him, where he should be and what he's doing and everything," D'Antoni said. "So it's a little bit out of kilter and until we get it all straight and balanced then I really can't make a decision or he can't feel comfortable."
The Lakers were also without point guard Steve Nash, who has missed 19 games because of a broken left leg.
D'Antoni optimistically predicted this weekend that Nash could return on the Lakers' looming four-game road trip, but then backtracked.
"I wanted Steve to come back last week, in my mind. But he's got a timetable and he's not running yet, so there's no way he's going to play right now," D'Antoni said.

We did it! This year on September 10th, Deworm the World Initiative (DtW) helped to continue the largest ever school-based deworming program targeting over 20 million at-risk children in the state of Bihar, India. As a result of this program millions of students will now have healthier years and achieve greater benefit from their education. Remarkably, even children who did not receive deworming medication will benefit due to the overall decrease in worm prevalence in the state as a result of this exercise.
What did it take to conduct a successful program of this massive size?
We are proud to report that each of these crucial elements were a success. But given the widespread severity of worm infections in the area, a sustained campaign is required to make a long-term impact in the lives of these children. Simply put, without continued deworming, worm prevalence in the area will rebound.
We appreciate your help to ensure the success of this program is expanded and not diminished. Few other interventions provide such widespread benefit at such low cost - treating and preventing worms costs less than $0.30 per child per year in Bihar, and the majority of costs are covered by the government and through generous pharmaceutical donation programs. DtW's support for these programs is only pennies per child.
We thank you for your generous support and look forward to providing you with continued positive news from the state of Bihar.

Rangers possible 1st round action:
Staal to Canes. (5th overall)
Not likely straight up. But while not a better hockey decision, Staal would be a good biz decision. They are pressing for Staal for Skinner.
So either bring in a team like Montreal that really wants Skinner, take their payment, add, and get the 5th.
expand the deal to do the 5th.
Odds of moving MS to Car are good, but not for this 5th unless there is signif. add.
MDZ to Edm (7th overall)
Howson wants MDZ, but not lookin like we get that straight up, as there are prob other offers competing we must beat.
Odds of moving MDZ to Edm are potentially good, incl as to this 7th overall, but Oilers need something more, which remains to be seen.
Callahan to Buf (8th overall)
This would hurt, but Cally would net a lot more than just 8th overall, and some thought is in order as to how much massive overcompensation would Buf give, and should we take it, while we have the chance?
That is another whole thing time does not permit only a quick blurb here.
But w/tweaking, could see Rangers w/ 5, 7, and 8 overall.
Is that enough for McKinnon + Siemens?
Just sharing a few thoughts...

On December 11, 2013, the IRS issued Notice 2013-74 to provide guidance regarding "in-plan Roth rollovers" (also commonly referred to as "in-plan Roth conversions"). This Notice builds on Notice 2010-84 which addressed in-plan Roth rollovers of amounts to the extent such amounts were otherwise distributable from the plan. With the enactment of the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 (ATRA), the availability of in-plan Roth rollovers was expanded to include any vested amounts regardless of whether such amount is otherwise distributable. In other words, as long as the plan permits, any vested amount can now be converted from a non-Roth account to a Roth account.
Effective for distributions made after September 27, 2010, the Small Business Jobs Act of 2010 ("SBJA") amended Section 402A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") to permit a plan that includes a qualified Roth contribution program to allow employees to roll over amounts in the plan to their designated Roth accounts in the plan. To be eligible for an in-plan Roth rollover, the amount had to (i) be eligible for distribution under the Code (i.e., be an "otherwise distributable amount") and (ii) be an eligible rollover distribution as defined in Code Section 402(c)(4).
ATRA again amended Section 402A of the Code to expand what amounts are eligible for an in-plan Roth rollover. Effective for in-plan Roth rollovers made after December 31, 2012, the new rules now permit in-plan Roth rollovers of vested amounts whether or not the amounts are otherwise distributable from the plan. In this article, we refer to in-plan Roth rollovers of non-distributable amounts as "ATRA rollovers," and in-plan Roth rollovers of otherwise distributable amounts as "SBJA rollovers".
Key provisions of Notice 2013-74
In addition to this specific guidance regarding ATRA rollovers, Notice 2013-74 also provides additional rules that relate generally to in-plan Roth rollovers, regardless of whether or not amounts are otherwise distributable ("Roth rollovers").

Zurich - Record four-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi had no sooner picked up his award in Zurich on Monday than he was forecasting there's much more to come, as he is still only 25.
The accolade sealed Messi's status as the greatest player of his generation after he saw off Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona team-mate Andres Iniesta for the prize with a vote share of 41.60 percent to 23.68 for Ronaldo and 10.91 for Iniesta.
And the man nicknamed La Pulga (the flea), who moved ahead of three-time winners Michel Platini, Johan Cruyff and Marco van Basten after a year in which he scored a world record 91 goals, promptly looked forward to further glories.
VIDEO: Lionel Messi wins his fourth Ballon d'Or award
"There's always space to grow up and be better. We never reach perfection. I will keep trying to be better and better and keep growing as a player," Messi says in an interview for the premiere edition of 60 Minutes Sports to air on US cable outlet Showtime on Wednesday.
Messi retained his typical modesty, however, in crediting his team-mates for his win.
"Barca is not just Messi. Barca has very good players," said the star from Rosario, who joined the Catalan club as a 13-year-old suffering from a hormone growth deficiency. The club paid for a treatment programme and he went on to make the grade with style, winning five La Liga crowns to date and three Champions League titles.
Messi tells 60 Minutes Sports that when he started out he did not realise quite what special talents he possesses.
"I never truly realised, to be honest. Back then, I couldn't even dare to dream about all that has happened to me," Messi said.

Hiding and Seeking: Faith and Tolerance After the Holocaust, a moving film by documentarians Menachem Daum and Oren Rudavsky (opening next month), starts with a question that Daum, an Orthodox Jew from Borough Park and the child of survivors, has long pondered: How did some Jews who experienced the Holocaust maintain their faith in God? Daum's two sons, both full-time Yeshiva students in Jerusalem, call him "a doubter and a seeker," but he's troubled by their sense of religious certainty, and by an Orthodox world that he finds increasingly hostile to outsiders. The answer, he decides, lies in a family trip to Poland, where his sons may meet the Christian farmers who saved the life of their maternal grandfather during World War II. What follows is that rarest of travel films, one that makes the gradual voyage of a soul toward enlightenment palpable.
The working-class Jews returning to Paris in French director Michel Deville's Almost Peaceful have all lost their faith (though they probably never believed in much besides the Communist Party). This sensitive adaptation of Robert Bober's luminous autobiographical novel, Quoi de Neuf sur la Guerre? (1993), is set in a garment district atelier during the summer of 1946. It's the off-season; the ladies' tailors, mechanics, and seamstresses (a few with numbers tattooed on their arms) have time for reflection. Somebody tells a Jewish joke about Auschwitz, in Yiddish; back from the camps, Charles (Denis Podalydès) rents a hotel room across the street from his old apartment, where he waits in vain for his wife and child. Still, the desire to live wins out, even among those with the greatest losses. Deville preserves Bober's intimate tone and rueful touch, alongside bitter glimpses of post-war French bureaucracy. (Screening with Almost Peaceful is the short, A Good Uplift, an engaging documentary by the sisters Eve and Faye Lederman, and Cheryl Furjanic, about an Orchard Street bra shop run by a 74-year-old Hungarian Jew and Holocaust survivor, who dispenses much wisdom along with undergarments.)
New York Jewish Film Festival

"I would have liked to be Jewish," says the gorgeous heroine of Samy and I. "They're so funny." Director Eduardo Milewicz's contribution to the Argentine new wave finds the embodiment of his country's angst in a nebbishy 39-year-old TV scriptwriter. Samy Goldstein (Ricardo Darín) has a Lacanian psychobabbler girlfriend and a Jewish mother of the neurotic variety; he yearns to be the next Borges, but no one believes in him until he meets Mary (Angie Cepeda), a mysterious Colombian. "Anxious, depressive, paranoid, but it might work," she muses; soon she's putting unshaven Samy before the camera as the star of his own program. A couple of cheap plot twists can't mar the pleasure of this hilarious (if lightweight) social satire.
While violence in the Middle East continues apace, and anti-Semitism rises in Europe, it turns out that it's a good year for comedy. With James' Journey to Jerusalem (opening in March), Israeli director Ra'anan Alexandrowicz offers a rare perspective on his native land, as seen through the eyes of a young Zulu Christian (Siyabonga Melongisi Shibe) who arrives in the Holy Land on a pilgrimage from his African village. Promptly incarcerated as an illegal immigrant, he's "liberated" by a shady businessman (Salim Daw) and sent to clean the houses of the bourgeoisie. Soon his longing for divine revelation is replaced by a desire for consumer goods glimpsed at the local mall. Alexandrowicz's marvelously wry film is at once an affectionate and biting portrait of a Zionist dream gone wildly astray.
Even The Dybbuk, that classic Yiddish tragedy, gets a happy ending. A Vilna Legenda 1924 Yiddish silent, filmed mostly on location in Vilna, and framed by a narration shot with sound in 1933stars the great Russian Jewish player Ida Kaminska in an adaptation of Peretz Hirschbein's play about the vow two friends make to marry their children, and the obstacles fate throws in the path of its completion. From the prophet Elijah to a Yiddish Folies Bergère, there's something in it to please everyone.

Why Golicyn? It is the name of a nobleman who brought French grapes to the Crimea and taught people to make a real champagne. Or at least sparkling wine because "champagne" is the name reserved for the liquor from the region of Champagne. Golicyn lived in the area, and in a nearby cave he kept wine and had guests. So say the legend. Now the famous cave is on our path.
