A letter from Jan Heckler in Madagascar
September 2013
I had just learned that not only was I to develop four days of quality workshop training material but that I would have to deliver it—textually and orally—in French (a language I do not speak)! Though I have conducted training and workshops my entire professional life, I had never come up against anything like this before. I was really stuck!
The Executive Secretary of Dorkasy—the women's division of the PC(USA)'s partner church, FJKM (the abbreviation for the Church of Jesus Christ of Madagascar in Malagasy)—had requested the training for her leading managers and decision-makers. As part of my ministry as a consultant to FJKM's organizational development, training is definitely something I normally expect to do. And, I was especially happy to do this particular training as this was not an insignificant step forward in building trust and improving our work relations. But with this "French twist" I knew that this workshop would be anything but routine.
The workshop itself was to cover a broad range of familiar topics including:
- Leadership
- Team Building
- Process Analysis
- Communication
- Problem Solving
- Time Management
At the time, my regular language helper, Lisy Razafinimpiasa, was only days from delivering her first baby, a healthy boy named Tiary as it turned out. So quite naturally the occasion of Tiary's first birthday removed Lisy from consideration. Where would I ever find a multilingual translator who was not only willing and available but who also could expertly deliver the material I was already hard at work developing?
As with the other "heavy lifting" tasks in my life, I turned in prayer to the One who neither faints nor wearies and whose understanding is unsearchable. Gratefully, it wasn't long before the Lord put the name of a person I already had met once before into my head, Mamisoa Rakotomalala.
Mamisoa, a past university educator, was called by the Lord to FJKM's ministry a little over four years ago and ever since has been working her way through seminary, the Faculty of Theology in Ambatonakanga. She still has a final 5th year to go for her master's, but she has been serving as an associate pastor in a nearby church for two years. To my delight, Mamisoa is not only an experienced educator, she is also fluent in Malagasy, English, French and German and recently added reading and writing Hebrew and Greek to her huge repertoire as part of the seminary's requirements for the ministry. Thank you, Lord!!
I wasted no time in getting in touch with her and arranged to meet to discuss the work. Once we were together, I described the project including its "French twist." Mamisoa grasped immediately the scope and significance of the work and was at once enthusiastic about it. She agreed to begin just as soon as her finals at the seminary had concluded.
Fortunately for the workshop, Dorkasy, and me, Mamisoa and I hit it off right away, working together as if we'd been at each other's side for many campaigns, all the while quickly becoming good friends. We put in many hours the last few weeks but finally had made ourselves ready with everything set to go for our mid-July start. But that was when the "challenge bar"—already set a little high—was moved up a notch.
Pastor Miora, manager of Akany Gazela in Moramanga, arrived the day training began in Antananarivo to share the unfortunate news that her infant son Jonathan had become quite ill, apparently suffering an allergic reaction to Antananarivo's heavy air pollution. Pastor Miora already had been to a physician and had been told that Jonathan should be returned to their home in Moramanga as soon as possible.
Because Miora is one of the people we really wanted to support through this training, it was most difficult for us to envision proceeding without her. So, after looking over the alternatives that were available, we decided to finish the training day already begun, re-organize the material into a three-day workshop instead of the planned four, and then move the show down to Moramanga, where we would resume training on Wednesday (after taking Tuesday off to pack and move).
Despite having a husband and four children to worry over at her own home, Mamisoa did not hesitate when it became clear what was being asked of us. She knew her presence was necessary for the training to proceed. She simply said she would work it out and added that she would be more than happy to go to Moramanga to get the job done. (Now, don't you wish everyone would deal with the vagaries of life just like that?)
So, we moved the training down to Akany Gazela in Moramanga to continue there. Of course we had to re-plan our seriously shortened week to take full advantage of every opportunity, collapsing some things, changing others in order to minimize our losses. These changes were not always apparent until just as a segment of the training was about to unfold. Then, with only a moment's warning Mamisoa, never recalcitrant, never dismayed, would do just as I asked, performing at the highest professional level, making my suggestion hers and in doing so graciously transforming the suggestion for improvement from "mine" to "ours."
Our next challenge came in the form of the electricity. Or, should I say in the form of its absence? First it would be on, then off. Then it would be on but with voltage so low or irregular that both of our uninterruptible power supplies and one of the laptops failed, having to be shut down and set aside. Still, training continued and Mamisoa never allowed it to disturb her or the master training event she was in the process of quietly rendering.
Then, though we could hardly believe it, the challenge bar was raised yet one more time. The unexpected on this occasion took the form of a Wednesday morning sore throat, runny nose, and congested sinus that turned almost immediately into a severe bronchial infection that made Mamisoa most miserable. Still, strengthened by the Lord's Spirit, our prayers, and her own unwavering determination, Mamisoa rose yet again, missing none of the next dozen or so hours of training over the ensuing two days despite her wanting—praying!—for a bed and to get some badly needed sleep.
She simply would not quit or give up. In fact, Mamisoa delivered one of the most effective training performances I have ever witnessed, finishing the last module on Thursday with only an hour to spare before she then lost her voice altogether!
In the end we got higher workshop marks by participants on the participant survey than I have ever seen in 38 years of training and workshop experience! The highest!
Watching Mamisoa dig-down to find inner strength and dig-in to "see it through" was an important lesson for me in understanding the depth of character of many of the Dorkasy women. I realize Mamisoa is an exceptional woman, but her capacity to overcome adversity through faith, the great quality of her unadorned determination, and her just plain having "guts" when she needed to is something I see more and more now in other women of the Dorkasy division thanks to Mamisoa and her most illuminating example.
Stories like this one do not happen every day here. But the struggle that pits good people against the most difficult living circumstances imaginable on a regular daily basis does happen every day in a majority world country like Madagascar, arguably now the poorest in the world with 90 percent of its people living on $2 or less each day.
I am grateful to those who support my ministry through your prayers, communications, and financial commitments. I need this help to continue the work like that described above; work already ongoing helping to address the root causes of poverty and helping to build the capacity of our partner church, FJKM. Prayers, correspondence and financial commitment are as much a part of our ministry here as Mamisoa's dedicated training effort that the Lord inspired her to achieve. Please if you are not already, won't you prayerfully consider how the Lord may be calling you to be a part of our mission in Madagascar? Thank you even for trying.

The nesset was a small animal native to the Nechani homeworld.
According to the beliefs of the Nechani, the nesset were able to travel from this world into the spirit realm where they served as gatekeepers. In order to travel into this spirit realm, one had to be bitten by a nesset.
In 2373, Captain Janeway put her hand into a basket with a nesset and let herself be bitten, in order to save Kes' life. The nesset bite caused a poisoning that led to a burning sensation in Janeway's chest, but she was in no immediate danger. (VOY: "Sacred Ground")

the last year, Joseph the Assassin Brady has been able to battle a bit of
respect out of New Mexican fight fans. What started with a win over Jo Jo
Varela, then continued with Nito Bravo and then Chris Linson, Jr., Brady
dispelled the disbelievers with solid wins over tough opposition.
it seems, New Mexican fight fans are never content until a prospect has worked
his way up by taking out all other state contenders anywhere near their own
weight class. For Joseph Brady, that meant two names: Amazing Adriano
Sanchez and Jose the Goose Ramirez.
crushing losses on ESPN2 last summer, both Sanchez and Ramirez dropped off the
map, just as Brady sped by, taking out tough opposition and becoming the
states #1 Middleweight.
career is still on hiatus . . . but the Goose has returned. With a change in
trainersfrom Melcor Chavez to Luis Chavez at San Joand a comeback win over
cruiserweight Sergio Vasquez last month in Pojoaque, Ramirez has his sight on a
successful restoration of a career thats given him a .500 status record
at 9-8 with 6 KOs. As Brady has done, Ramirez is out to carve himself a bit
of respectand what better way then to take out the undefeated prospect, the
newly-crowned WBC FecarBox champ, Joseph Brady?
was a fight that almost happened in November. Brady vs. Ramirez was set as the
main event on a Sky City card when, just two weeks before the fight, Ramirez
pulled out due to health problems. The card was cancelled (and rescheduled for
December with Brady against Bravo) with the Gooses rep, tarred and feathered.
has made restitution. Earlier this week, when Bradys opponent, Marquez Reed
of Dallas, pulled out with a broken hand, Ramirez got the call from matchmaker
Leonard Fresquez and decided to accept after talking with his trainers, despite
fighting strep throat the week beforean affliction he says hes kept in
check with medication. The next morning, Ramirez met with his trainers Luis and
Rudy Chavez and they decided to take the challenge.
has been wanting to see this fight happen, says Ramirez. Theres not one
fight fan in New Mexico who hasnt wanted to see it. I feel Im ready now
and I owe it to myself. I also owe it to Brady.
Ramirez says he was disappointed when he had to pull out last November, and its been at the top of his list of goals to get another shot at Brady. Things always work out for the best, he says; the Jose Ramirez who wouldve fought Brady last November is a different fighter than the one who will enter the ring Saturday night:
I have a different trainer now and I feel good, I feel comfortable, says Ramirez. Im learning how to box instead of just brawling. Melcor [Chavez] used to say Go in there and throw. Now the attack is a planned one.
The new Ramirez Game Plan no longer includes taking fights on short noticewhich Goose was notorious for. Why then, jump in against Brady on three days notice?
trainer, Luis, made a point, says Ramirez. Sometimes you have to
take these short notice fights. Sometimes, those are the fights you want.
And this is the fight I wanted.
This is a hate fight. I dont like him and he dont like me. In reality, its a sport. But sometimes, you got to step in and take matters into your own hands.
Despite the short notice, Ramirez says hes 100% ready to fight Saturday nightand that includes getting down to the agreed-upon weight of 161. Ramirez last fought at 176 but has since been dieting. At the time he was offered the fight with Brady, he was just under 170, and on Thursday, was 163.
It may be short notice, but fighting Brady has always been in the mix, says Ramirez. Training has included lots of What Ifs? and that meant fighting southpaws as well as fighting Brady, specifically. We know it would happen before the year ended.
Despite the short notice, and Bradys loss-free record, Ramirez says the advantages are his:
I have height, weight and the bigger reach on Brady. Hes coming up in weight, although Ive heard he has trouble making 154 so the advantage may be less there. But Im a bigger fighter and I think I have more fighting experience. He may have a longer amateur career, but I have 15 years as a kickboxer behind me. Ive been in the fight game since I was 5.
As far as Im concerned, this is Bradys first test. His last two fights, he was fighting blown-up 140 pounders, or less. Those guys were top-notch fighters at their weight, but not at 154. Im the first one hes fought who has his height. Plus, I can hit a hell of a lot harder.
The fight is scheduled for ten rounds but Ramirez says it will not go the distance.
The fight will not go ten. Ive got my game plan Ill stick to, although if he thinks hes gonna brawl, Ill hold the door open for himsure, cmon in! But I doubt it. Hell stay on the outside and run.
Theres so much hatred, so much tension around this fight. I wish him the best but thats it. This is my fight. Ive got my own plans and that includes a win. Im not just an opponent.
fight ending in a stoppage is one of two things Jose Ramirez and Joseph Brady
agree ononly, as expected, the Assassin sees it going his way:
see it going into the later rounds, says Brady. I want to see what he
brings to the table. Ill weather the storm and then take him out later.
other item in agreement is the dislike between fighters.
a grudge match, Brady admits. Theres a lot at stake and neither one of
us want to lose. Theres a lot of rivalry in this fight and both of us want to
win bad.
the disappointment Brady felt when he heard Marquez Reed had pulled out, the
chance to fight Ramirez has boosted his motivation.
wanted to fight Marquez just to see what type of fighter he was, says Brady.
But when they said itd be Goose, I knew Id be looking forward to
fighting even more, because of the rivalry. I like this fight better. And
its a fight everyone wants to see.
says Reed wouldve been a good test for him, but Ramirez is a tougher one.
fights are tough fights, but the Goose is tougher, I think because of the weight
issue. Hes a big guy. I know hes gonna dry out but by the time we step
into the ring, hell be a light heavyweight. But if I can beat a guy like
that, its a good step up for me, at the state level.
its a grudge matchand also due to the outcome of the last grudge
match, the Payne vs. Lovato fiasco last OctoberBrady says he expects a
good, clean fight.
expect him to come at me hard but Im up to the challenge, he says. This
will not be a repeat of Payne vs. Lovato. Therell be no DQ. There will be a
clean outcome, with no questions asked who the better man is.
has been training to box Reed at all times. The game plan hasnt changed all
that much against Ramirez:
Reed, I was planning to box a lot, and not go toe-to-toe. And to wear him down,
round by round. With the Goose, I know there will be a time when Ill have to
go toe-to-toe with him. But, overall, hes bigger and stronger so Ill stick
to boxing. I want to box, box, box . . . use different angles and keep him
off-balance. Avoid going toe-to-toe.

Top 5 Climate Change Stories of 2009
Posted By Daniel Flahiff On October 15, 2009 @ 9:00 am In Environment,global warming | 3 Comments
Today is Blog Action Day [1], and this year's theme is Climate Change [2] – a topic near and dear to our hearts here at Inhabitat [3]. To kick things off, we took a look back over last the past year's posts and pulled together a list of our top 5 favorite climate change stories to hit the pages of Inhabitat [3]. The following [completely biased] list is in no particular order. It does, however, attempt to focus on solutions to the problem – because we believe that there is hope for our planet if we act now. Check it out and please, comment copiously. We love a good debate!
There are many ways to combat climate change; one of the best is to raise awareness. The film 'The Age of Stupid [4]' by Franny Armstrong is a terrific example. The film stars Pete Postlethwaite as an old man living in "the devastated world of 2055, watching 'archive' footage from 2008 and asking: why didn't we stop climate change while we had the chance?"
Not strictly a solution, this story [5] is important reading for anyone in the climate change trenches. The study [5], led by Dr. Lina Mercado from the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, [6] does not imply that pollution is good in any way. It simply states that "plants often thrive in hazy conditions such as those that exist during periods of increased atmospheric pollution." Get the facts and share them with the skeptics in your life.
This year San Francisco became the first airport in the world where travelers can purchase carbon offsets [7] right in the terminal. In an ideal world, air travel would produce no carbon emissions. Until that happens, carbon offsets seem to be the consensus solution, and now it's easier than ever to balance the scales with the Climate Passport Program [7] at SFO. We hope others will soon follow.
Part of a comprehensive French initiative [8] that includes increased EV production, new construction regulations and public EV charging stations, the $2.2 billion network [8] of charging stations is the first of its kind. The network of 'sockets' is designed to provide much-needed infrastructure for EVs. Here's hoping the rest of the world follows France's lead, and soon.
Treating tropical rainforests as a global 'tree store' might sound far-fetched, but British tech company, Helveta [9], is doing just that. Helveta is combating illegal logging by tagging millions of trees [9] in Africa, southeast Asia and South America. The barcodes discourage illegal logging, which is a $10 billion dollars a year business. A simple but effective idea [9] that we love.

On my desk is a folder containing all sort of cheat sheets relating to security, operating systems, and various web applications. Many a times, these quick references have helped me remember particular options and information that are all too easily forgotten. These guides are also very useful in any training program, helping remind students of the essential information. So when Jim Clausing, from SANS Internet Storm Center (ISC), posted, "New and updated cheat sheets," an idea hit me: now would be the perfect time to pull together and share this material. Jeremy Stretch at PacketLife is in the process of updating, to quote Jim, "some of his excellent networking cheat sheets (I mentioned his 802.1x one here)." Jeremy has posted such first-rate cheat sheets as:
For help with forensics, Jim points out, "SANS instructor, Rob Lee points us to a couple of new cheat sheets for doing forensics on USB keys under XP or Vista/Win7." There is also the Memory Analysis Cheat Sheet for Microsoft Windows XP SP2 by Pär Österberg and Andreas Schuster. If you have a SANS Portal Account, you can access the SANS Forensic Analysis Cheat Sheet.
The below table provides links to other security cheat sheets I have found very beneficial. Some are better described as condensed references, verses short 1-2 page cheat sheets. That is noted below.
Since security does not exist in a vacuum, Raj helps us out with his post, "145 Useful cheat sheets for some of the most widely used tools on the web." To quote Raj, the post provides "145 quick cheat sheets for some of the most widely used tools on the web." Dave Child has also posted several valuable cheat sheets for commonly used Internet and development tools (Python, Subversion, Regular Expressions, mod_rewrite, PHP, MySQL, Javascript, Ruby on Rails).
Hilde Torbjornsen has also posted "Mega Collection Of Cheatsheets for Designers & Developers" where she list more than one hundred cheat sheets and reference cards for the following topics:
|Browsers & OS
To assist on the operating side, Scott Klar posted "Linux-Unix cheat sheets – The ultimate collection." The post provides a links to approximately 70 cheat sheets for Linux users. Scott has also posted, "Windows cheat sheets compilation", "Networking cheat sheets", and links in various other areas (C, CPP, C#; Gimp; Designer color; Vi & vim; Emacs; Photoshop; Apache; Perl; Python; Ruby and Ruby on Rails; Regular Expressions; MySQL; XML-XSLT-RSS; PHP; CSS; Javascript/Ajax; HTML and Xhtml).
Finally, there is always the Cheat-Sheets, DevCheatSheet (over 1,500 so far) , and TechTarget sites. These two sites offer very large number of links to various cheat sheets on all sorts of topics. If you know of any other good cheat sheets relating to security, please let me know.

Do you remember Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear?
Do you still have yours?
If you answered yes, you are delusional, but Pixar is brilliant for creating this commercial to introduce a NEW character to the Toy Story franchise. The past toy story movies have incorporated CLASSIC toys into the animated films, but in Toy Story 3 due out in June, a new toy makes its debut in the form of Lots-o'-Huggin' Bear.
So how do you make a fake toy seem like a classic childhood fave?
You make a commercial that looks and sounds like the 80's and you post it on YouTube.
I feel cheated, that's a cute bear.

Jewish Rabbits
Noam Meshulam
As the story goes, several episodes of Nickelodeon's '97 Sniz & Fondue series were actually broadcast from the Middle East. One can safely assume that all involved were too busy being panicked to make any PR use of the story. The story begins with the Anima Studio in Tel Aviv signing a contract to supply animation services for 13 episodes of the series. Running into difficulties, there was a delay in production and finally the studio closed down. Noam Meshulam, head of Pitchi Poy Studio, in Jaffa, came to the rescue, gathering a team of 60 for nonstop work to redo the first episodes. Completing each episode dangerously near airing time, Meshulam had to drive daringly with the only copy to the main sattelite transmitter antenna, Eitanim, way up on top of a mountain near Jerusalem. Somehow he made it on time for all 13 episodes.
According to Meshulam it was a calculated risk. Financially, he knew, he would at best break even, most likely ending up in the red. Still, pulling it off against all odds would be extremely valuable for the studio's reputation. In addition, working internationally has been every Israeli studio's dream. These reasons justified the tremendous effort -- wild drives up narrow mountainous roads on stormy nights included!
"It proved to be an important step toward our getting into the international animation market," reflects Noam Meshulam. "An arduous process which takes years of marketing your studio, initiating projects, constantly supplying proof of your creativity and recent achievements at important markets such as MIP... Thus, inch by inch, you get in and become recognized, so that when you have a good project to offer you can gain access to the right people".
Noam Meshulam studied animation at Gobelins in Paris, under the late Pierre Ayma. After graduating in 1985 he opened a small studio in his father's house in old Jaffa; a beautiful structure which was built in the 19th century and designed to serve as the Italian embassy to the Ottoman Empire. Careful interior changes were made to adapt it to the needs of the major animation studio it now houses. With a core staff of 15 and dozens of experienced artists joining in when there is need, Pitchi Poy Studio is, at long last, treading on solid ground.
The studio is now busy with Israel's 13-minute episode of the international Animated Tales of the World series, entitled "King Solomon." Recently they completed the 26-minute TV special Children of Chelm, a Canada-Israel co-production likely to be developed into a series.
Pitchi Poy's many projects include the developing of two pilots. One is a co-production with TelAd TV and the other is Dumplings in Space, an international series, which is scheduled to start production in September. And, naturally, commercials. "Commercials are the main source of income for an animation house here," says Meshulam. "The budget per second is usually $1,000 to $2,000.When animation and backgrounds are limited it can drop down to $500. A studio can manage with such budgets. The problem is one can't count on a regular flow of commercials. That's what makes series work so important. It's a studio's bread and butter."
Hanan Kaminski
Director Hanan Kaminski of the TV Loonland studio, Budapest, regards commercials with more enthusiasm. "It is the only kind of commissioned work allowing creative adventures. It often gives me an opportunity to work with the most advanced, most expensive talent and equipment. Luckily, I enjoy the pressure. The sleepless nights. The outrageous last minute changes. By paying me a lot of money they get the right to apply mild torture," explains Kaminski.
Nowadays Kaminski can allow himself this light-hearted attitude toward the hardships of making animated commercials in Israel. He enjoys the unique position of being a successful international feature animation director. Living in Tel Aviv, he travels to work on commercial flights. His two features, The Real Sclemiel (1995) and Pettson & Findus (1999), were made in Hungary, Sweden, Belgium, Canada, Estonia and Bulgaria. Recently added to his flight route is the U.K., where he is working with legendary TVC, London-based producer John Coates (Yellow Submarine) on The Fantastic Flying Journey series.
Hanan Albert Kaminski was born and raised in Belgium, where he joined a socialist Zionist youth movement and moved to a kibbutz in Israel when he turned 18. Graduating Bezalel Academy of Art & Design with a degree from the graphic design department in 1977, he then went to work for IBA national TV. He then received his post-graduate in animation at the Royal Academy, Amsterdam, in 1980. Opening a studio in Jerusalem, he employed up to 10 artists doing commercials, Sesame Street segments, TV spots, etc. Later, after moving the studio to Tel Aviv, he pioneered the trend of kids straight to video in Israel by producing musical variety shows by mixing animation and live-action. Over one million copies of these shows have been sold to date.
"In 1985 I started developing a script based on Bashevis-Zinger's stories of Chelm, the town of fools," recounts Kaminski. "In '93 I closed down the studio, put a few drawings I did for Chelm in a big cardboard file and went to do the rounds in Europe, in search of partners and backing for a Chelm feature. What happened next was quite a Cinderella story. In contrast to the sceptic, at times mean, response the project got in Israel, Europe seemed to be eagerly awaiting my arrival. With generous budgets and enthusiastic professionals we got into production and ended up building a studio in Budapest, employing 100 to 300 artists in a Germany-France-Hungary production. Completing the 77 minute feature in '95, the studio was already busy with another feature and a lot of commissioned work."
In '96 Kaminski was invited to co-direct, with veteran director-illustrator Yossi Abolafya, the new animation unit at Bezalel Academy, Jerusalem. Teaching in Israel while working internationally gives Kaminski a special observation post over Israeli animation: "Israel is overflowing with talent. Many creative people are keen on getting into animation. Quite many innovative young artists are testing Internet and computer possibilities. The main obstacle they all face is that of immature -- animation wise -- clients and commissioning editors. With more knowledgable ones who understand the medium there is no telling how far Iaraeli animation artists will get." This explains Kaminski's plans to do his next feature, now in development, in Israel.
Yoram Gross
It will not be the first animated feature to be made in Israel however. Yoram Gross, now head of a busy studio in Australia where he has made 14 full-length features and 8 television series to date, made the biblical puppet feature Joseph the Dreamer in 1961-62. His studio in Tel Aviv, established in the early '50s, was the first animation house in Israel, although films were first shot in Israel in 1897, when in April of that year, the notorious Lumiere brothers visited from France.
Still, the film industry in Israel was very limited until 1970, when Educational TV and IBA national TV started influencing the local scene. The most dramatic TV influence came after commercial and cable TV started operating in 1993. It gave quite a push to computer graphics, including animation and special effects, as well as video productions. As a result, the last film lab in Israel closed down in 1996. Post-production houses, such as Gravity, which completed Raoul Servais' Taxandria, Broadcast and JCS, all in Tel Aviv, became a central creative force, each developing a strong animation unit relying on Silicon Graphics and Mac computers with the most advanced software. The demand for animation talent has been steadily growing in the last decade. The production of educational CD-Roms, games, multimedia and to supply various Internet needs is on the increase. Tel Aviv's multimedia and software house Disk-In even opened an animation unit when Dudu Shalita closed down Anima Studio and offered his services. They now do international co-productions of TV specials and series, in addition to commercials.
There are three art schools which could be considered the major suppliers of trained talent: Bezalel, Jerusalem; WIZO, Haifa; and Camera Obscura, Tel Aviv. The latter is in a rather peculiar situation. Its Digital Media department offers a 4 year animation program. Yet second year students already get tempting job offers from the industry.
Thirty years ago the only animation training available in Israel was a six month course offered by the late TV Arts College in Tel Aviv. It was a private body taking commercial advantage of the void. Only two of its hundreds of students became professional animators. Then, most of the young animation industry consisted of self taught artists. Prominent among these was, and still is, Roni Oren, director of the Claytoons Studio in Binyamina. Admired as an excellent plasticine animator, he has managed for years to create, almost by himself, at least an hour of full character animation every year. His work consists of many commercials and TV specials, as well as four TV series. The latest of which, Grabbit the Rabbit, is a 13 X 8 minute series co-produced with IBA TV. The series premiered last month and has already been bought by more than 20 TV stations worldwide, from Channel 4 in the U.K. and Fox Kids France to Asia TV Hong Kong and Transworld Association, Japan.
His professional track record includes his own studio in Jerusalem, where top international artist Gil Alkabetz started his career in '84. He has had two other studios since. One was for a Danish company owned by a U.K. businessman and the other was in California (1988), doing commercials and TV specials. What he is most excited about now is: "The possibilities offered by easily available electronic means are mindblowing," says Oren. "I am working now with two Bezalel graduates who every day are doing a 15 to 30 second Flash animation for a commercial Website. Every day a new film! And it is done while we work on a second episode of a cartoon series, do commercials and develope new projects. The creative independence and efficiency offered by computers makes it possible. We are using Crater's CTP and DPS' Reality/Velocity cards, easily getting a lot of good work done fast in broadcast quality. And this is only the beginning of dynamic computer visuals development, with the Internet still in diapers. True, it is now a hungry monster swallowing everything; not able to discern between good and bad [and with] lots of vulgar, stupid or sloppy stuff. Yet, I expect it will not take long to mature into sophisticated work taking advantage of its unique limitations to create exciting new ways of expression."
Another kind of new technology is about to hit Israel -- sattelite TV is due to start operating soon, already influencing TV programming. Israel is about to get exposed to new channels, including Cartoon Network and Fox Kids, with the latter using Saban International's library. In a way bringing Haim Saban's empire in closer contact with the local scene. "There are no plans yet to get into production in Israel," says Varda Saban of the Israel branch. "Our production facilities are well established and very satisfactory. The only involvment we have with Israeli productions is when we do here promos, merchandizing commercials or sell rights of a property of ours." They may have second thoughts. A delegation of top executives from a giant U.S. corporation has been in Israel in August, checking possibilities. Optimists and dreamers alike will be glad to assure anyone of plenty of promising possibilities in the Promised Land.
Tsvika Oren is a veteran animator, film critic, lecturer and animation missionary. He is also Director of The Animation Center in Tel Aviv and the International Creative Filmmaking festival.

If it weren't for extreme temperature variations and routine wear and tear, homeowners would never have to worry about maintaining and repairing their concrete or asphalt driveways and walkways. Unfortunately, weather and wear are part of life and can have a big impact when it comes time for home inspections.
In order to have a successful inspection there are some important factors to note in the processes of cleaning up and repairing damage to asphalt and concrete. Beyond being unsightly, damaged driveways and walkways can lower the value of the home.
Fortunately, it won't cost a homeowner thousands of dollars in driveway replacement if all they need are some simple repairs. Pillar to Post inspectors suggest the following tips real estate agents can pass along to their selling clients in order to improve a home's curb appeal and saleability – at a reasonable cost.
Obviously, the first thing both a homeowner and a real estate agent can do is to make a visual inspection of the driveway or walkway. This procedure often reveals small and hairline cracks, which could become larger cracks in a short period of time. Cracks in cement or asphalt allow weeds and vegetation to further damage the visual appeal of a home. And not only can cracks turn off buyers, they can also pose a safety risk. Having an injury during a showing or inspection would be a disaster! Other things that turn off potential buyers are unsightly stains such as oil and grease – and can also be a safety hazard.
The fixes are relatively easy and can take homeowners less than a couple of hours in most cases. The process usually involves a few steps, such as surface preparation (removing weeds, vegetation, debris, loose pieces of concrete or asphalt, etc.). If stains are a problem, a good cleaning solution, power washer, or even kitty litter can turn an ugly driveway into something more attractive. The last part of the fix is the actual repair, which involves using cement or asphalt mix or patch.
The curb appeal of a home is often the "make or break" factor in its sale. A one or two hour investment of time repairing concrete and asphalt is a small price to in exchange for a "SOLD" sign.

Area Residents Rally And March To Support Trayvon Martin
A couple of hundred local residents came out for a Wednesday night rally and march in support of the late Trayvon Martin. They braved the rains to honor the Florida teenager who died last year during a confrontation with neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. Recent City Council candidate Wes Bellamy (pictured) led the chants during a rally near the Free Speech monument. The protesters marched from the area near City Hall to the federal courthouse. Rick Turner of the local N-A-A-C-P believes the U.S. Justice Department should investigate Martin's death. Turner also favors repeal of the "stand your ground" laws in states such as Florida.

Today, infants born as early as 25 weeks of pregnancy may survive with the proper care. However, the long-term survival and quality of life for these babies remains to be seen as they grow older.posted 10/01/2007 by melissa_smiley
My soon was born at 29 weeks! He is 7 years old now and you would never know he was a premie!! When I was in labor the doctor told me not to worry but they might have to take him right away to the NICU if he wasnt breathing right and stuff, well when he came out he was kicking and crying and as healthy as could be!! he even peed in the nurses hair :)posted 05/07/2008 by a BabyCenter Member
Up until 21 weeks: 0% survival rate at 22 weeks: 0-10% survival rate at 23 weeks: 10-35% survival rate at 24 weeks: 40-70% survival rate at 25 weeks: 50-80% survival rate at 26 weeks: 80-90% survival rate at 27 weeks: greater than 90% survival rateposted 02/16/2010 by nancynaeve
My son was born at 29 weeks old. Although he was taken right to the NICU because he wasn't breathing well, he recuperated so fast. He is now 7 weeks old and he is a delight. He is still small compared to full term babies, but he is active, turns and hold his head up... he has me completely besotted:)posted 05/18/2008 by Kysmeth
my first son was born at 27 weeks 9 weeks early he is 6 and a half years old now and he is a little behind but he is healthy and hyper and happy he was taken straight to the NICU with the proper tools for breathing and monitoring and such he was out of the hospitan in a monthposted 07/04/2008 by wildchild420_4uu
Absolutely, they face alot of struggles but can survive and live healthy livesposted 02/16/2010 by ~duckduckgoose~
Yes it is possible for a baby of only 29 weeks can survive. Although the baby is not fully developed, we now have the technology and medical care to help these newborns survive during hard times.posted 02/16/2010 by Zaza00
Babies born as early as 22 weeks have been known to live many do have complications, at 29 weeks though most babies do not have life long complications but may have complications during the infant stage.posted 02/16/2010 by mommy98n09
11 years ago My Daughter kali was born at 27 weeks and was the size of a 24 weeker due to IUGR. so she was 11 1/2 inches long and 540 grams in pounds that is 1 lb 3 oz. She had many complications but she was in the nicu for nine months before she passed away. Even though not every story is a success story a baby born at 29 weeks has a very high survival rate. The only problem with having a preterm birth is you have a higher chance of having another one. I also have a 7 year old son who was born full term i did go into preterm labor with him at 31 weeks but they were able to stop it. I am also 16 weeks pregnant with tech my third child and they just monitor you very closely. They do an ultrasound every month to make sure the baby is growing at the rate it is. And i have no restrictions so far. But a 29 weeker can survive.posted 09/28/2010 by Kali&Zachs Mom
My almost 7 month old was born at 28wks 3days, and spent 130 Days in the NICU....He is my 2nd 28 weeker, my 1st 1 is now 13 & my Baby is Doing Amazing!!! The time I spent in the NICU I saw 23 weekers Survive!!!!posted 06/30/2011 by cht4ever

I personally use an iPhone and have an iPad (my Dad uses it) at home; I purchased this device from flipkart (received the order in the 2nd working day without any flaw).
My first impressions using this device is that is very raw and unrefined. I am unimpressed and sad that I spent 25,000 on this when I could have bought an iPad for myself.
My basic use of the tablet was simple multimedia (facebook, skype, youtube and ebooks). It turns out, unlike the apps in the Appstore, the apps for android tablets are difficult to come by.
Most of them are made for the mobile device and need to be stretched to view them.
The interface is slightly confusing and the resolution and quality of icons is sub par (compared even to the ipad 2).
Even though the dpi of this device is more than that of an ipad 2, the quality of the colours, the display and the feels repulsive.
There is an occasional lag skipping pages and a constant 'loading' whenever i try to open any app that requires the internet.
If you are looking to buy a tablet, don't buy this device. It is a waste of money and I regret buying it. Go buy something superior to this.
The tablet i had received had a little problem. The new tablet I have received from flipkart is as expected.
Thank you flipkart for your amazing after sale service!
Currently I am using Nokia, but I wanted to shift to BB and I waited for the Bold 4 to come out. But I waited in vain, the Bold 4 is just outrageously expensive. Now I am having second thoughts on buying this phone.
I don't know much details about the tech specs, but I liked the 9780 design much better than this one. This phone is a bit bigger and wider than 9780 and feels a bit different in the hand. I guess one could get used to.
I will probably wait a few months to buy this one, or just go for some Android phone.
Great watch!! I needed it something for jogging and it is perfect! Nice large display! Easy to set up, easy to toggle between modes.
Good quality, light and sturdy! I like it so far.
Worth the money!!!
I am taking CAT coaching and I was finding myself weak in quant so I decided to take things in my own hands and bought this book after being referred to by a friend.
This book is great, very detailed with plenty of questions and examples. It is a must have book irrespective of the fact you are good/bad at math. Go for it, it's not very expensive, and you won't be disappointed!
Ordered this battery as my original stock battery was dead and could not keep a charge for long. Somehow, the poor battery life affected the speed of my laptop as well. Ordered this replacement battery, works perfectly!
One complaint is that the seller has multiple listing for the same product, most of the laptops have the same battery, so I don't see why you need different listings for the same battery.
Also, the price could be cheaper by a few 100s! But I guess one pays for the extra convenience of not having to get out of the house to buy!
But overall, excellent buy! Fully satisfied by the delivery and quality of the product! It is as good as the original!

Ability to Raise Money Becomes a Prerequisite for CUNY Presidents
By KAREN W. ARENSON
Published: December 3, 2000
There's a new qualification for becoming president of a CUNY college: a knack for fund-raising.
At other colleges and universities, that would not be regarded as news. Fund-raising is considered a central part of a president's job on most college campuses. But at the City University of New York, with its history of free tuition and state and city financing, raising money has never been a high priority. Now, with searches under way for new presidents at Hunter and City Colleges and concern about the ability of public financing to sustain the university in an increasingly competitive academic world, that is changing.
''When I gave the charge to the search committees for Hunter and City Colleges, I said it was fundamental that the person we bring in have the capacity to raise money,'' said Matthew Goldstein, CUNY's chancellor. ''For me, it will be an important determinant of who I recommend to the board.''
Dr. Goldstein, who raised $65 million for Baruch College in his seven years as president there, is also hopeful that CUNY's new directions will make it more attractive to alumni and other donors who believed that the university had diluted its standards when it introduced open admissions in 1970.
''Before you can start raising money, people have to believe in the institution,'' he said. ''For the last several decades, there was genuine concern among alumni that the institution they valued as undergraduates had lost its way.''
Big gifts do not fall from the sky. Colleges must develop ties to their alumni and identify which ones are capable of making substantial contributions. And unlike a Harvard or a Princeton, which begins to inculcate the ethic of giving from the day students arrive on campus, CUNY's colleges must convince alumni who have not been steeped in that tradition that they should give. Few CUNY colleges have laid that foundation.
Most of CUNY's campuses raise less than $5 million in private money annually. This is in sharp contrast to public universities like the University of California at Berkeley and at Los Angeles, the University of Illinois and the University of Minnesota, which are conducting billion-dollar fund-raising campaigns, and where $100 million or more in annual giving is not unusual.
Dr. Goldstein said he thought part of CUNY's problem was that it had suffered from ''the field of dreams syndrome,'' the belief that ''someone will open the gates in the morning and students and resources will just flow in.''
''It is a much more competitive environment today,'' he said. ''We have to think much more entrepreneurially.'' CUNY will continue to seek greater public support, he said, but it will never be enough. ''We're in a new world today,'' he said. ''We know we can't rely just on the state and city governments.''
Dr. Goldstein dismisses fears that if CUNY raises money, public officials will cut back on their support. ''I don't think we will be penalized,'' he said.
Hiring more experienced fund-raisers as presidents is one of several new initiatives to help bring in more money. The chancellor is also beefing up the university's central development office and encouraging all the presidents to cultivate donors. How they fare will be one factor considered in their annual performance reviews.
This month, CUNY, Cornell University's Institute of Community College Development and the State University of New York are sponsoring a fund-raising forum for community college officials. And Dr. Goldstein is beginning to consider the shape and size of a universitywide fund-raising campaign to build on the efforts of the individual colleges.
''This has to begin with the campuses because that's where the emotional connection is,'' he said. ''People went to City College or Queens, not to a structure called City University, and they want to give to City College or Queens.''
''What we can do on a universitywide basis is make this a high priority,'' he added.
CUNY officials say that the four finalists for the Hunter presidency either have experience as academic fund-raisers or, have networks of contacts who could be potential donors.
CUNY is not alone in coming late to fund-raising. Public universities in New York and New England generally have trailed those in the Midwest and West.
In part, that is because public universities in the Northeast compete with so many old, established private universities. In the West and Midwest, public universities account for a much greater share of higher education and face less competition from big-name private institutions locally.
The State University of New York is also pushing its campuses to raise more money. SUNY Buffalo recently announced a $250 million capital campaign, and SUNY Stony Brook is preparing for one, although it has not settled on an amount yet.
Dr. Goldstein said that his experience as president of Baruch College from 1991 to 1998 convinced him not only that private fund-raising was necessary at CUNY, but also that it was possible. At Baruch, he attracted three gifts of $10 million or more, as well as numerous gifts of at least $1 million.

This review is from: macally Black Protective Silicon Case for iPhone 3G (mSuitP)
Pros: Feels squishy...
Cons: Case is far too large for the iphone. Even the encluded screen cover is much too big to fit the screen.
Other Thoughts: Unless there is a major QC problem at the factory whoever approved the design specs for this case suffers from mild retardation. Either way don't buy it, especially since the shipping is too high to bother with RMAing.

Weekend Theme: Bubbles
The best way to relax is to recline in a bath filled with bubbles.
Bubbles appeared on the lawn after the rain.
Hey there! Thanks for dropping by Gobetween Flames! Take a look around and grab the RSS feed to stay updated. See you around!
That is a huge hedgehog in your link😀
Your bubbles are perfect. 😀
Oh, man, how cute is that!
He is a cute little hedgie!
Cute Little one, nice post
Sorry to get hooked on the hedgehog but is IS beautiful😀
It is ok he is special.
there are a few videos of swimming hedgehogs, though i wonder if soap is good for them
No, I doubt that it is good for them.
I don't know about the bubbles, but I often find inspiration, and the sort of relaxation that allows me to come up with solutions to problems that were bothering me in the shower. Just standing there, and letting the water cascade on and around my body. Best without any radio… or anything else that could influence my thoughts…
I also relax and contemplate things while I'm in the bath. You are right it is a quiet place where I can focus.

West Ham Tube station was one of the main London Underground routes into the 2012 Olympic Games. The footfall passing through the station and across the Pavegen installation provided an ideal case-study location for Pavegen to monitor the units' performance in terms of energy output and footfall counting, and access public engagement.
The installation demonstrated that the units can be used effectively as both an off grid power source and as a 'smart tile' that can provide footfall data.

On the same week that it was revealed that she was no longer dating New York Jets starting (at least for the moment) quarterback Matt Sanchez, it was revealed that Eva Longoria had signed a first-look development deal with Universal Television.
Longoria, who rose to fame on Desperate Housewives where she played Gaby Solis for eight seasons, will be executive producing projects through her UnbeliEVAble Entertainment label under the deal. The agreement was announced today by NBC.
She is also executive producing NBC's matchmaking show Ready for Love, which will feature three bachelors trying to find their princesses. So it is The Bachelor times three.
"Having Eva Longoria on our team is a huge advantage for our Alternative program development as we have pleasantly discovered in implementing her ideas for Ready for Love, which is shaping up as a terrific and upbeat series," NBC Entertainment's President of Alternative and Late Night Programming, Paul Telegdy, said. "She is passionate, fully engaged and has keen instincts for putting together a winning formula for her shows that always bear her imprint."
NBC Entertainment President Jennifer Salke added that the new deal "is significant in continuing what has already been a productive relationship. She has exceptional energy, vision, a prestigious name and the creative knack for finding compelling new concepts for our growing studio."
There is no word on whether or not she will be appearing in front of the camera during any of the projects they come up with.

Word started leaking yesterday, but now it's official: Tom Waits, Neil Diamond and Alice Cooper join Dr. John and Darlene Love as the 2011 class of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland.
They were selected by more than 500 voters of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation, over nominees including the Beastie Boys, Bon Jovi, Donovan, Donna Summer, J. Geils Band, LL Cool J, Laura Nyro and Chuck Willis.
And of course, still no Rush, still no Kiss, etc.
The induction ceremony takes place March 14 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City.
In a sign that maybe Jon Bon Jovi was waiting at home by the phone, fingers crossed, for that call from Jann Wenner (or whoever), there's a gap in Bon Jovi's 2011 tour schedule between Chicago (3/9) and San Antonio (3/17).
Oh well: at least Billboard magazine's top-grossing tour act of 2010 can take solace in his new presidential appointment to the White House Council on Community Solutions. (Here's one solution Bon Jovi ought to consider: lower ticket prices.)

BOULDER — Blue-chip freshman tailback Darrell Scott received almost as many questions from the media regarding his punting as he did about running the football following a two-hour morning session of two-a-day practices Tuesday that opened Colorado's fall drills.
Scott, 2,433-yard rusher last fall at Ventura (Calif.) St. Bonaventure and ranked by most Internet recruiting sites last fall as the nation's top high school running back, worked for about 15 minutes with the punting team and showed a strong leg. Most of his punts tumbled end-over-end but still went 40 yards with good hang time.
Scott punts left-footed, although he throws right-handed and prefers to catch a ball right-handed. Get this: He considers his right leg to be his dominant leg.

"It's weird," Scott said. "I just have to have my whole body. It's crazy."
Scott, who weighed in at 220 pounds this week, played soccer as a youth. He may not take the punting job away from incumbent Matt DiLallo (41.7 average as a two-year starter), but coaches are "going to put that in because they've never had a punter/runner back there before," Scott said. "So that's looking good."
DiLallo was to practice Tuesday afternoon. But Scott usually matched Aric Goodman punt for punt during the morning session. Goodman, a sophomore transfer from Wyoming, will compete against freshman Jameson Davis for the starting place-kicking job.
As for his running, Scott said he felt the effects of playing at elevation. "If I could have gotten here earlier in the summer, I would have been all good with the altitude," he said. "I was just trying to stay fast paced. I was just out there having fun."
Said running backs coach Darian Hagan of Scott's first college practice: "He has a natural vision. He understands what's happening and how we're trying to block things."
Hagan also praised the talent of two other freshman running backs, Ray Polk of Scottsdale, Ariz., and Rodney Stewart of suburban Columbus, Ohio.
"All three of them are going to be very good," Hagan said.
Players won't get into full pads until Saturday.

Universal Studios Hollywood is paying tribute to the firefighters who recently helped save the historic Universal studio with a "Salute to Firefighters," offering badged fire department personnel a free One Day General Admission throughout the month of June. Up to three family members or friends accompanying an eligible firefighter will also receive 50 percent off a One Day General Admission.
To obtain free admission, firefighters may show current photo employee identification at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park box office.
Larry Kurzweil, President and COO, Universal Studios Hollywood, said, "We are deeply grateful to the selfless firefighters who put their lives on the line to save our historic studio. Through their extraordinary efforts, we were able to resume operations at our theme park and on CityWalk just one day after Sunday's major fire."
The free One Day General Admission is valid throughout June 2008 and cannot be combined with any other offer. Friends and family members must come to the park on the same day as the eligible emergency personnel to receive 50 percent off One Day General Admission. More information can be obtained by calling 1-800-UNIVERSAL or accessing http://www.universalstudioshollywood.com/.
Just one day after the accidental fire broke out, business resumed and guests were welcomed to the theme park and entertainment complex as Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk's employees assumed a "the show must go on" spirit in the face of the temporary setback.

On the eve of the NHL draft at the Wells Fargo Center, the wheels are formally in motion on two fronts to trade Vinny Lecavalier.
According to a league source, Flyers general manager Ron Hextall has granted Lecavalier's agent, Kent Hughes, permission to talk to other NHL clubs to try to find a willing trade partner for the Flyers.
TSN's Darren Dreger first had the report.
"I can't comment on those aspects," Hughes said. "I would defer to Ron on such matters."
Hextall said on Tuesday he would put the word out at the draft seeking salary cap relief help. Translation: He's seeking to trade Lecavalier, who has four years left on his deal with a $4.5 milion annual cap hit, and is due a $2 million bonus on July 1.
On Thurday he said, "We're going to deal with that internally."
Translation: game on.
Earlier this month, Hextall said he spoke with Hughes about moving his client, who is simply not comfortable playing on the wing for the Flyers.
At the same time, the Flyers aren't that comfortable themselves paying Lecavalier $4.5 million as a fourth line center, either.
On July 1, 2015, Lecavalier, who will be 35 by then, is due a $500,000 bonus.
If the Flyers make a deal before July 1, they will likely have to eat part of the contract. Or at the very least, pay the bonus on July 1, then complete a trade after.
As the Flyers enter the draft this weekend they have $1.86 million in salary cap space for the coming season.

Wow, I had no idea photography was possible that far back. Remarkable. Wonder if the original copy of that photo still exists. Would be a worthwhile addition to any museum.

Two candlelight vigils illuminated Monday evening in honor of Martin Luther King Junior Day in Greenville and in Chocowinity.
In Chocowinity, Southside High School's Student Government Association organized vigil. People gathered on the town hall lawn, singing and took turns reading pieces of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream" speech. Joyce Moore was there and says if Dr. King was here to see us today, he'd see his dream has come true.
"I think he is so proud to see us together. His dream was that we could all come together. Forget about race and all this. Just be one, one nation under God," said Chocowinity Resident Joyce Moore.
In Greenville there was a vigil on East Carolina University's campus. We spoke with one student, Donnie Carr, who told us if it weren't for the sacrifices Dr. King made many of his classmates might not be able to attend school at ECU together.
