JNF Wire: Teens Celebrate Friends, Fun and Personal Growth in Four Months at AMHSI

Teens Celebrate Friends, Fun and Personal Growth in Four Months at AMHSI
By: Maayan Jaffe-Hoffman
Weinger's friend and fellow program participant, Anna Koren, expressed similar sentiments. "Being able to learn about Israel, not from a book, but from actually being able to go and experience and see the sights – I wish it would have been longer," Koren said.
AMHSI-JNF is an academic and experiential program for high school students. Founded in 1972, the program is now funded and operated by Jewish National Fund (JNF). It offers formal classroom study and experience-based learning, enhancing students' intellectual understanding of history, and emotional connection to identity. AMHSI-JNF provides students with the context and framework to form their own sense of Jewish identity in preparation for college and life beyond.
Koren (at right) says she was heavily impacted by the experience. After participating in Gadna, an Israel army program, she says she think she will come back and volunteer in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Weinger, on the other hand, is already considering aliyah, and making Israel her new home. She credits AMHSI-JNF for making her prouder to be Jewish and to realize what it means to have a homeland.
"I feel at home here, like I can be myself," Weinger said. "It is the place I am happiest in the world."
While some of the students had been to Israel before, many others came for the first time. Lilly-Anne Nettheim (at left), 16, from Australia, had always wanted to go to Israel but didn't know when and how it would happen. When she learned about AMHSI-JNF from her friend, she decided it was an experience she couldn't pass up.
"I couldn't picture what Israel would look like. I looked at photos online, but that is never the same," says Nettheim. "It is amazing! Also this experience would not have been the same without the group I was with – I just really loved it."
In a note sent to her counselors, Nettheim said: "Our entire group, they grew with us and we formed a little family. Although four months is only a short amount of time, I think we all proved that a short amount of time is not wasted. We have created some unforgettable memories I think it's really amazing how all of us got so close, so quickly."
"I have made some life-long friends," Zoe Tselos, 16, from Minnesota said, explaining that she was assigned her roommates, but she chose to hang out with them outside of their room.
"I think I can say I am friends with every single person here, which is really nice," Tselos (at right) added. While on the one hand, she says she learned that Israel is not only the Bible, but also a vibrant state, full of life, cultural events, and all threads of Judaism, she also learned about herself. During hikes and other challenges, she said she would often complain. But as her four months was coming to a close, she realized that every moment was so special.
"Live life to the fullest, that is what I learned. On a trip like this, you should love every moment – the hiking, the food, the friends – everything," she said.

JEWISH NATIONAL FUND (JNF) began in 1901 as a dream and vision to reestablish a homeland in Israel for Jewish people everywhere. Jews the world over collected coins in iconic JNF Blue Boxes, purchasing land and planting trees until ultimately, their dream of a Jewish homeland was a reality. JNF gives all generations of Jews a unique voice in building a prosperous future for the land of Israel and its people.
JNF embodies both heart and action; our work is varied in scope but singular in benefit. We strive to bring an enhanced quality of life to all of Israel's residents, and translate these advancements to the world beyond. JNF is greening the desert with millions of trees, building thousands of parks, creating new communities and cities for generations of Israelis to call home, bolstering Israel's water supply, helping develop innovative arid-agriculture techniques, and educating both young and old about the founding and importance of Israel and Zionism.
JNF is a registered 501(c)(3) organization and United Nations NGO, which continuously earns top ratings from charity overseers.

"Hey Mac, see you down the Dolce Vita! "Get back, we don't have time 'Cos I hear we're sending off the heroes When the yera goes, (they're) out of the bay, Trying to find a way to make it alive" "So long," said four men to their families "Be strong till we get back home And if not, take care of all the children Until then just hope and pray We're gonna find a way to make it alive" "You guys are crazy!" They shout and then we leave the harbour. In doubt, they're acting weird And the sea is whipping up a welcome If hell come we're all easy prey, Trying to find a way to make it alive" "You guys are crazy!" The captain's hand shook for the guys to get in place He said, "Let's look behind your face". With each corner covered, they were all around Waiting for the midnight bell to sound. "Out of sight," cried Aeron through his glasses "Don't fight" said Gorham's smile All the while, his hand was on my shoulder I was scared of being an easy prey, Trying to find a way to make it alive" (I won't be easy prey trying to find a way to make it alive.)

Trivandrum: "It is the need of the time that the Indian thought should be known world-wide", said His Beatitude Moran Mor Baselios Cardinal Cleemis Catholicos, the Major Archbishop of Syro-Malankara Catholic Church, while releasing the new book "The Sacred Feminine in Indian Thought" authored by Rev. Dr Aniyil Tharakan, the former Principal of St. John's College, Anchal. His Beatitude gave the first copy to Sri. O. Rajagopal MLA during the function held at Cardinal Cleemis School of Management Studies Auditorium on 3 January 2017, Nalanchira, Trivandrum.

Sri. R Ramachandran Nair (Former chief secretary),Rev. Dr Giji Thomas (Principal of Mar Ivanios College), Prof. Dr George Zacharia Rev. Dr. Anniyil Tharakan, the author and Rev. Fr. Antony Mariabhavan spoke at the function.

MALIBU, Calif. - Four matches into the 2005 Mountain Pacific Sports Federation (MPSF) tournament the home teams are a combined 1-3. Top seeded and semi-final and final round host Pepperdine will look to improve to 13-0 at Firestone Fieldhouse this year on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. (PDT) when it battles the fourth-seeded Cal State Northridge Matadors in the first of two semi-final matches. Long Beach State and UC Santa Barbara will play in the nightcap scheduled to get underway at 7:30.
Pepperdine (21-2) is returning to the court for the first time since April 15 when it posted a 3-1 victory over the Matadors in Northridge. The Waves are led by the arm of MPSF Player of the Year Sean Rooney who is averaging 5.30 kills per game and hitting at a .405 clip. All-MPSF second team honoree Andy Hein combined with sophomore Tom Hulse help patrol the point of attack and have been instrumental in Pepperdine's 3.52-1.80 advantage in blocks this season. Freshman of the Year Jonathan Winder is quarterbacking the most efficient offense in the country as the team is hitting at a .362 clip under the Irvine, Calif., native.
CSUN (19-13) took the long road to get to this week's match after defeating eighth-seeded Stanford, 3-1, in the conference play-in match, then stunning second-seeded UCLA in Pauley Pavilion, 3-2, Saturday night. The Matadors are making their first trip to the MPSF semifinals since 1996. Nils Nielsen's 4.06 kills per game is pacing a CSUN offense that is averaging 14.93. Brian Waite, James Lischer and Cary Hanson have also been counted on to help with the Matador's attack.
Thursday's winning teams squaring off on Saturday for the MPSF's automatic bid to the NCAA Championships. Tickets can be purchased by calling 1-866 WAVE TIX or (310) 506-6395 or at the gate Thursday.

Google+ gets a big redesign
Despite many predictions of its death, Google+ is still alive and well. And Google has just done a big redesign that focuses on Communities and Collections.
The official Google blog has details:
Since we last posted, we've spent a lot of time listening to what people using Google+ had to say. There were two features they kept coming back to: Communities, which now average 1.2 million new joins per day, and Collections, which launched just five months ago and is growing even faster. Whether it's the Nonfiction Addiction Community, where people can be found discussing the best in Crime or Travel storytelling, or the Watch Project Collection, where more than 40,000 people are following an antique watch hobbyist, these are the places on Google+ where people around the world are spending their time discovering and sharing things they love.
And so we've reimagined Google+ to help them do that. Today, we're starting to introduce a fully redesigned Google+ that puts Communities and Collections front and center. Now focused around interests, the new Google+ is much simpler. And it's more mobile-friendly—we've rebuilt it across web, Android and iOS so that you'll have a fast and consistent experience whether you are on a big screen or small one. You'll need to opt-in to this new version of Google+ on the web to see the changes—check out our Google+ post for more on how to give it a try.
Creating great products that solve real needs and make life easier for people is something Google is always striving for. Your feedback got us this far—as we continue to refine Google+, we'd love to keep hearing from you. In the meantime, we look forward to seeing how today's changes help kickstart even more conversations around everything from Zombie Cats to Vintage Calculators.
DistroWatch reviews openSUSE 42.1
openSUSE is one of best known Linux distributions, and many users have come to depend on it over the years. openSUSE 42.1 takes the distro in a different direction by providing a more stable core while also giving users more up to date software. DistroWatch has a full review of openSUSE 42.1.
Jesse Smith reports for DistroWatch:
openSUSE 42.1 is one of the more technically impressive and (to me at least) visually appealing distributions I have used so far this year. The distribution is easy to set up while offering a great deal of flexibility if we want to dig through the system installer's options. The desktop is responsive and easy to navigate and the distribution worked well with my hardware and integrated smoothly with VirtualBox. The YaST control centre is one of the most powerful and extensive configuration panels in the open source community and it makes tweaking the underlying operating system pleasantly easy.
So far as I know, openSUSE is still the only big name Linux distribution to fully embrace the advanced features of Btrfs, making it easy to create file system snapshots and roll back changes to the operating system or data files. Early on I noticed openSUSE was automatically cleaning up old snapshots, which means Btrfs will not eat up a lot of disk space. If we want to, we can adjust the number of snapshots openSUSE keeps, allowing us to revert to even older versions of files.
It took a little more work than usual to get a network printer set up on openSUSE, but otherwise everything on the distribution worked well. I was worried some components on the system would be dated, given that openSUSE 42.1 is partially based on SUSE Linux Enterprise. Such was not the case though. openSUSE's kernel, desktop software and end-user applications were all fairly modern and pleasantly stable. In short, openSUSE offered me one of the best, easiest and more flexible experiences I have had with a Linux distribution this year and I very much enjoyed my time with the operating system.
The best distribution for the job will depend on the person and, of course, the role the distribution is to play. I think Fedora is aimed mostly at more technical users and people who like to tinker. Ubuntu is aimed squarely at Linux newcomers who generally want to just use their computer and openSUSE appears to be aiming at a sort of middle ground: people who have a little Linux experience and want options, but also want reliability and longer support cycles.
The future of the Chromebook
There's been a lot of speculation about the future of Chrome OS, and how it will affect Chromebooks. A writer at Consumer Reports has considered the issue and she thinks that Chromebooks still have a bright future.
Donna Tapellini reports for Consumer Reports:
...it's not a stretch to say the status of Google's laptop operating system strategy is in flux. And if you're planning to buy a Chromebook, or already own one, you could be wondering whether your laptop is going to stop receiving OS support sometime in the next few years.
A company blog asserts that "there's no plan to phase out Chrome OS." Of course, a little skepticism doesn't hurt when it comes to corporate communications. But new Chromebooks do keep coming, and Google says it's continuing to develop new features for Chrome while emphasizing the security that's built into the OS.
Continued OS support is crucial to keeping your laptop going. Users of Microsoft Windows XP, one of the most popular Windows versions, found this out when Microsoft finally pulled the plug on support for the ancient—in tech terms—OS in 2014. As for Chrome, Google's End of Life policy includes a list of Chrome devices it promises to support until 2020.
Whether Google eliminates Chrome and moves to Android-only devices, or if it somehow merges the two operating systems, the change would make it much easier and more attractive for developers to come up with Android apps for Chromebooks. And that should be good for consumers.

The rooms are large and comfortable and well equipped with fridge and coffee maker. The breakfast is excellent.
However, they turn off the airconditioning between November and April. If the weather is still warm the rooms become very hot and airless. I measured 82 degrees in the room and no fans are provided. Their suggestion is to leave a window open but on the ground floor anyone could simply step through the window into the room during the night. After complaining, we were moved to an upper floor room but with the window open, the train whistles kept us awake much of the night.
Avoid this hotel during the winter if the weather is at all warm.
This is a very nice hotel but badly run.

How to manage water restrictions at your home
Poor rainfall, extremely low dam levels, as well as a hot and dry summer season, has increased need to continuously save water. For us to make sure that we have enough water available in our dams for everyone in our province, we all need to do our part to use water sparingly and adhere to the water restrictions which are in place.
Revised water restrictions
As from 1 February 2017, the City of Cape Town has implemented level 3B water restrictions, while Beaufort West Municipality has upgraded their water restrictions to level 3. These stricter water restrictions come as a result of not enough water being saved in these regions.
We can only achieve our water saving targets together. Every citizen must be water conscious, and determine the importance of their water needs in relation to the water shortages. If you have any questions about water restrictions in your area, you can contact your local municipality.
The difference between level 3 and level 3B water restrictions
|Level 3
|Level 3B
|Watering/irrigation (with drinking water from municipal supply) of gardens, lawns, flower beds and other plants, vegetable gardens, sports fields, parks and other open spaces is allowed only if using a bucket or watering can. No use of hosepipes or automatic sprinkler systems is allowed. Watering times are not restricted, however, residents are urged to limit their watering to the mornings and evenings.
|Watering/irrigation (with municipal drinking water) of flower beds, lawns, vegetables and other plants, sports fields, parks and other open spaces is allowed only on Tuesdays and Saturdays before 9am or after 6pm for a maximum of 1 hour per day per property and only if using a bucket or watering can. No use of hosepipes or any sprinkler systems allowed.
|No watering/irrigation is allowed within 24 hours of rainfall that provides adequate saturation. Facilities/customers making use of boreholes, treated effluent water, spring water or well-points are not exempt.
|No watering/irrigation is allowed within 48 hours of rainfall that provides adequate saturation. Facilities/customers making use of boreholes, treated effluent water, spring water or well-points are not exempt.
|Washing (using potable water) of vehicles and boats only is allowed if using a bucket.
|No washing of vehicles or boats using municipal drinking water is allowed at residential/business/industrial properties. Vehicles and boats must be washed with non-potable water or washed at a commercial carwash.
30% Reduction water tariffs
Where level 3 water restrictions are in place, residents will be charged according to 30% reduction tariffs as from 1 November 2016 to encourage greater water-use efficiency.
For an average domestic household, the difference in rates charges are as follows:
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Step 1 (0 < 6 kl)
Per kl
Step 2 (>6 < 10,5 kl)
Per kl
Step 3 (>10,5 < 20 kl)
Per kl
Step 4 (>20 < 35 kl)
Per kl
Step 5 (>35 < 50 kl)
Per kl
Step 6 (>50 kl)
Per kl
Water saving tips:
- You're only allowed to water your garden with a bucket in the morning and evening. Put a bucket in the shower while you're waiting for the water to warm up, and use the water you catch for watering plants.
- Golf courses, sports facilities, parks, schools, learning institutions, nurseries, users involved in agricultural activities, users with historical gardens and customers with special requirements can apply to the Director: Water and Sanitation for exemption to the above. (Visit the City of Cape Town website for the application process.)
- No watering is allowed within 48 hours of rainfall that provides adequate saturation.(Facilities/users making use of boreholes, treated effluent water, spring water or well points are not exempt.)
- All wellpoints and boreholes must be registered with the City and used efficiently to avoid wastage and evaporation.(Visit the City of Cape Town website for moreinformation on registration.)
- If alternative water sources are utilised, ensure that you display signage which is clearly visible from a public road or street.
- No hosing down of hard-surfaced or paved areas with potable (drinking) water(except for health purposes) .Users, such as abattoirs, food processing industries, industries using water to prepare for painting or similar treatments, care facilities, animal shelters and other industries or facilities with special needs can apply to the Director: Water and Sanitation for exemption. (Visit the City of Cape Town website for the application process.)
- Ornamental water features may only be operated with recirculated water.
- The maximum showerhead flow rate may not exceed 10 litres per minute.
- Toilet cisterns may not exceed 9,5 litres in capacity.
- Use buckets to wash your vehicle. Put a bucket in the shower while you're waiting for the water to warm up, and use the water you catch to was your vehicle.
- Manual top-up of swimming pools are allowed if the pool is fitted with a pool cover to slow down the evaporation of surface water. No automatic top-up systems are allowed.
- The use of portable play pools is not allowed.
Businesses and public facilities:
- Commercial car wash businesses must comply with industry best practice norms for the amount of water used per car washed.
- Informal car washers may only use buckets and not hosepipes.
- Fitted pool covers must be used for public swimming pools where practically possible.
- No automatic top-up systems for swimming pools are allowed.
- Spray parks must be strictly managed to minimise water wastage.
- All public spaces must install water efficient parts to minimise water use at all taps, showerheads and other plumbing components and must adhere to Water By-law requirements.
- Golf courses, sports facilities, parks, schools and learning institutions can't establish any new landscaping or sports fields, except if irrigated only with non-potable water.
- Contract conditions shall apply for any facility supplied with water in terms of special contracts (notarial deeds, water service intermediaries or water service providers) .
Other restrictions, not detailed above, still apply as stipulated in Schedule 1 of the Water Bylaw, 2010. Please visit the City of Cape Town website for more information on: Know your water regulations.
For queries on water restrictions please send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com
You can also stay up to date with the water levels of the main dams supplying the Cape metropolitan area.
Here's what you can do to save water and money
At home:
- Take shorter showers and turn off the shower while soaping up, then turn it back on to rinse.
- Make sure you put a full load into your washing machine and dishwasher before starting a wash cycle.
- Cut down the amount of water flushed down the toilet by placing a 2 litre plastic bottle full of water in the water tank (cistern) of your toilet. This could save you up to 7 300 litres of water each year.
- When washing dishes by hand, do not leave the water running to rinse dishes. And if you have a double basin, fill one with soapy water and one with clean water to rinse.
- Install a system to pump grey water (from the washing machine, basins, shower and bath) to the garden.
In the garden:
- Plant indigenous plants which can tolerate extreme heat and require little watering.
- Group plants with the same water needs together, so that you don't overwater plants with varying water needs.
- Put a covering layer around trees and plants. Covering will slow evaporation and will also discourage weeds from growing.
- You are only allowed to water your garden once a day on designated days.
- The best times to water your garden is at sunrise and sunset. Watering between 9am and 4pm (when the sun is brightest) is not allowed.
- Water your lawn long enough for the moisture to soak down to the roots. A light sprinkling can evaporate quickly.
- Plant in the right season. For winter rainfall areas, you will need to plant in autumn and early winter so the plants have a chance to develop their root systems before the dry season. In summer rainfall areas, you can plant in spring and early summer.
- A dripping tap (one drop per second) could waste up to 30 litres of water an hour, which adds up to 10 000 litres a year.
In the industrial and commercial sector:
- Define water requirements for your organisation, building or unit of production.
- Appoint a person to track water use and identify strengths to build on and weaknesses to rectify.
- Ensure that people are aware of how to report major water losses from leaking or damaged pipes and hoses.
- Encourage staff to report dripping taps and leaking toilets.
- Reduce the chances of leakage by turning taps off lightly and getting washers replaced when leaks are discovered.
These simple changes can help you save up to 10% on your annual water bill, without drastically changing your lifestyle.
Educate your children about simple ways to save water around the home and encourage your colleagues to start saving water at work.
The Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS) in an effort to help citizens reduce the use of water, started the Drop-the-block campaign. This water-saving method of dropping a plastic block into the toilet cistern helps reduce the volume of water used when you flush your toilet.
Here's what you need to know about Drop-the-block:
- The block is made from recycled plastic to prevent erosion and blocking of the toilet.
- The block is weighed down with sand and displaces up to 2 litres of water.
- Toilet cisterns hold 9 to 15 litres of clean water which is dispensed with each flush.
- After dropping the block into the cistern, a household of 4 people who go to the toilet 4 times a day, can save up to 32 litres of water per day.
If you're interested to know more about the Drop-the-block campaign, read Drop-the-block for more information.
Exemption from water restrictions
We all need to save water and adhere to water restrictions. If however if you need to be exempt from these water restrictions, exemption will be approved in special circumstances. Please visit the City of Cape Town website to find out how to apply for exemption from water restrictions.

I have a Win 2003 Server with RRAS enabled for VPN Access called VPNSERVER1. The IP address internally for the server is 192.168.1.10. When a user connects, the server binds another IP address for the RRAS connections which it got from the DHCP server. This IP can be 192.168.1.50
Now when Spiceworks scans my network I have VPNSERVER1 showing up two times in the inventory. Once as .10 and another time as .50. In the past I have just selected the option to delete and not scan again for the .50 option, but if I restart this server, the next time someone connects via RRAS, the IP might be different.
Is there a way to either configure RRAS or Spiceworks so only one address gets scanned for this server?

Anyone have any clues on this? I have a similar setup for VPN and I see the same issues.
Jun 27, 2008 at 7:35 UTC
akp982 is an IT service provider.
You could skip the ip address by adding it into the network scan and selecting skip?
Settings -> Network Scan -> Add -> Check the skip
Jun 27, 2008 at 8:02 UTC
That would probably work for me as I have reserved a range of addresses, but it can also just use DHCP. If that were the case then you would exclude what could be a valid internal address at some point.
Makes the case for setting a specific range in RRAS and excluding them from the scan. I just set this up, I'll report back if there are any issues.
Jun 27, 2008 at 8:18 UTC
akp982 is an IT service provider.
You can also use device name to block it not just ip, does mean you need to know the name of all of them.
Jun 27, 2008 at 10:51 UTC
If I use a static IP pool, then I cannot set some of my options that I usually set via DHCP. For example I set a couple of DNS servers and a WINS server through DHCP options. I also set the default gateway for my users. I also set up a Proxy server for Internet monitoring so when someone is using our network, even remotely, they get a WPAD option from DHCP that has them go though the Proxy server.
If I set the RRAS server to give out the IP addresses on its own I believe that clients will either not get the entries or get the entries I have setup for the server which are entries I don't want for the clients.
Jun 27, 2008 at 10:53 UTC
Forgot to mention that if I block it be device name I assume that I will not get any results for VPNSERVER1. I still want to see it in spiceworks, but just not more than once.
Jun 27, 2008 at 11:15 UTC
I also just notice something new since updating to 3.0 the other day. Now I have several workstations that are showing twice. In this case it is not because of IP addresses either. They two entries appear to be different because of the computer's serial number field.
On the units that are having a problem I see one entry for WORKSTATION-XX that has the serial number listed if it has one. Then I see a second entry in Spiceworks inventory that has the exact same things listed except the serial number field is showing WORKSTATION-XX.
None of these computers are laptops so it is not like they connect on the LAN, then on the road with a differnet IP or anything like that. The are a variety of models as well and others of the same model are not doing this.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.

Those who read my articles know I am not afraid to take some bold views on technology, politics and/or economics. Since the last articles were about the last two, it's time for some technological headview....
A good way to predict the future is to look back and try to understand where it might lead to in the future. But there is a catch, inventions follow a different unpredictable path and therefore it will always keeps full of surprise. This noted, I still see a logical path.
Internet started in the late 60's as a project called Arpanet funded by the US defense department to keep communication alive during a nuclear attack. It was build by universities and after 2 years, only 10 computers where connected. Internet lived a very quiet life in the scientific world, combined with a shadow world of communities and (news)sites filled with useful and doubtful content. In 1986 CERN (Tim Berners Lee) made a giant step forward by inventing the HTTP protocol, which created the world wide web (www) on internet.
Most people today think that the world wide web is the internet. That is not true, allthough it is actually a big part of the total traffic.
As it grew we needed google (1998) to find what we were looking for, and again after a while we needed social networks to talk and share to those we want to in our lives.
Media and bandwidth growth made it possible to communicate in (moving) pictures. Mobile technology made it possible to be connected anywhere at anytime, so the tasks seems almost done.
Not quite, security and privacy are a bitch and it is still an ocean of unverifiable information and mostly chaotic bunch of websites. Basically we are still in the wild west phase of the evolution of internet, where hardly any rules apply.
That was quite an introduction. What would be needed to (self) organize the internet ?
I have made up a list of some basic rules and technologies that would create some order in the chaos for the internet users:
1) Everyone should be identifiable. That identity should be used to connect to internet and login to any website. Therefore avoiding hackers and spammers, misbehaviour and misrepresentation. A trusted global internet directory which only hold a basic verified ID and a password.
2) Social networks should manage the roles you have in live. A professional, a business, a personal and maybe some others. They will be the backbone of communication and interaction
3) Applications should be provided to these networks by all other websites and services. Not as it currently is with apps on pc's and mobiles. That is absolutely the wrong way since it creates vendor lock-in. We should use internet core technology to connect. Open, device independant and user friendly. Apps are a dead end street, kept alive by commercial organisations who force users to invest in their products !
4) Verifiable information. Google and other search engines do a good job in finding what you are looking for, they absolutely fail in providing correct information. They are focussed on what you like, not what actually is true ! And let's be honest, information is all about what is true and not what you want to be the truth. I wrote a specific article on how to acheive that.
5) We really need a different user interface in time. The ultimate goal is a direct link into our brain so we have direct access to information, but that will definitely will take some time. Intermediate solution should be at least more visual oriented and use more of our natural way of interaction like hands, eye movement and speech.
I realise that I am breaking rule 5 by writing a story to you, but I added a picture which unfortunately does no reflect the story well. But stories are good, people are story tellers. But writing it is wrong, telling it would have been much better and showing it even more. Lack of technology and time forced me to write it to you or not tell it al all. But since I am programmer, I definitely will work on getting this fixed for you in due time

You've reached maximum available to compare companies
Ethan E from Canada
I've been with Pepperstone for about 8 years, and I'm very happy with them. They've always been very responsive in regard to customer service, and their execution speeds are amazing. Their spreads are tighter than other brokers during news events, and their servers are madly reliable. They aren't the only broker I like, but they're the broker I like the best. Definitely at the top of my list of brokers to reccomend to friends.
Grem from United Kingdom
They are definitely not the worse, but I would really like to see a wider range of trading instruments and first of all CFD's. The best point for me is that they always pay money and you rarely have to wait more than just a couple of days
Tarik from Turkey
All the time that I am working with Gainsy, I have an extra income, though not large, but stable. There were losses, but without this on the market, unfortunately, there is no way. I've never chased big profits, I was more interested in a stable money. I will never upset about the lost money, I understand that it is the market.
Ben from Australia
Bad broker because of slippage on ECN account. EA trading will not work at all. Support is ok deposits and withdrawals ok also but just conditons are no good.
Hamaz from Turkey
Good company. Had only 2 or 3 small problems for a year I'm with them. Thought, I dont like how picky they are for a small things, like obligatory additional verification when I change my password... but most of my dislike comes from unnecessary bureaucracy, not from the trading process itself. Trading is very good, I wish they would keep it up.
ahmed from Egypt
I work on ECN account. On the other types did not even try, because i'm actually working rather than playing in forex. Still don't trade on the news and at illiquid time. Didn't have any claims about the execution of orders or withdrawal of funds. Withdrawing almost every day and don't accumulate profits in the long run - on the one hand, it's some kind of protection of profit from force majeure, on the other side protects me from gambling ... so, no temptation to increase uncontrollably lot, for which i'm not yet ready
Maris from Austria
My partners choose that broker, and I earn on their trading from the IB program provided. Sometimes even more than from the trading. My referals progress can be monitored on a daily basis, sometimes i gor my rewenue just after they close the order. I withdraw once a month and realy enjoying the additions to my ballance.
wojciech briss from United Kingdom
This broker is reliable. They haven't tricked me during four years of cooperation. One more their advantage that I can point out is their low withdrawal commission and rather tight spreads.
Florin Cernat from Romania
I trade with them for a month. I can say that the order execution speed corresponds to the specified one. According to journal, deals are processed within a second. This is very important with my EA. There are no unreasonable widenings of spreads during news and at the end of sessions. This all is about trading itself. I can't say anything about profit withdrawal, since haven't requested it yet. The company is quite large, therefore I don't think that some troubles might occur.
Homish from Estonia
I have a lot of accounts in different broker companies and I can compare their services. This is what I want to tell bout this broker: exec. speed is normal, withdrawals processes within 2 days and traders has an ability to use EAs for automated trading. So, checked by myself and approved.

Speaking Tips: Don't Be Funny
For many years, I've quietly mentored a few speakers in the industry. Nothing big, nothing formal, just periodically I'd find somebody that wanted to get in front of audiences and speak, and either they'd ask me some questions or I'd get the feeling that they were open to some suggestions, and things would sort of go from there. Now, as I start to wind down my speaking career (some), I thought I'd post some ideas and suggestions I've had over the years.
This time, it's about humor. Or the lack thereof.

In the midst of the best season of his career, Stafford Township native Martin Truex Jr. agreed to a multiyear contract extension with Michael Waltrip Racing, the NASCAR team announced Friday.
MWR also announced a multiyear extension with NAPA, which has been Truex's sponsor since he joined the team in 2010. The company will continue to sponsor all 36 Sprint Cup races each season and both non-points events.
"Driving the NAPA Auto Parts Toyota means the world to me," Truex, 32, said in a news release. "I knew when I signed on for the 2010 season that we had a lot of work to do to get the performance to where NAPA would be proud of us, and I also knew I had big shoes to fill in that NAPA uniform because Michael (Waltrip, the team owner) is the best at being an ambassador for sponsors."
Truex is fifth in the Sprint Cup standings with two races remaining before the Chase. He would be the first MWR ever to qualify for the Chase.
"It is so gratifying that the hard work has paid off with competitive racecars every week," Truex said. "And I am more comfortable than ever that NAPA is my sponsor and I am their driver. It's my job to do everything I can to make sure we are together for the rest of my career."
Waltrip, whom Truex replaced as a driver on the team, said the deals were a priority for his three-car Cup operation.
"Re-signing Martin was huge for us," Waltrip said in the news release. "We've given him competitive racecars and engines this year and he's been able to showcase his talent.
"Where I am most proud of Martin is off the track. He has dedicated himself to be a leader in our organization and has accepted his role as an ambassador for our sponsors. His work with NAPA, Toyota, AAA, along with his foundation work, has shown his maturity as a person and he makes me proud."

Can I import my contact list via Xero to Jotform?Asked by balloonsonbroadway on October 06, 2015 at 04:35 PM
I love what Jotform has to offer, however it is necessary for me to know that I can use my contacts in Xero in order to fill out forms. So, on-the-go on my iPad I would ideally like to be able to pull up Jotform and fill it out on the fly when a client calls me with an order, but have their name show-up with their information directly from Xero. Is this possible? I hope so.
Thank you!
JotForm Support
There is a way to integrate JotForm to Xero via the Zapier, but it seems that it only works for creating invoices. You can check more details here
As of this time, there is no integration that will import your Xero contacts to a form in JotForm.
Hope this help. Let us know if you need further assistance.
I played with this signed up to the premium service with Zapier (as you need that to work with Xero with them) and found it a nightmare, even as an IT chap. Unstable, bad data, messy. You see you want good clean contacts create also.
JotForm Support
Unfortunately, we do not have any control over how that specific integration works since it is done via Zapier. I do not believe you will be able to import your contacts to JotForm by any method. All the third party integrations I looked at would only create invoices in Xero.

The Fury of the Hantei was a small group stationed at the Fox Clan Embassy in Otosan Uchi. They were a special unit tasked solely with enforcing the Emperor's will in matters not suited for magistrates. [1] The group was created in the 11th century, formed by soldiers, courtiers, merchants and diplomats from every minor or great clan. [2]
Charter Edit
The Mondai Ketsu could reach where normal magistrates could not, and were answerable only to the Emperor. Nicknamed the Fury of the Hantei, their actions were ordered by the Emperor whose word was considered Imperial law. They resolved situations in the most direct manner possible, and a frequent history of bloodshed put the group at odds with other groups within the Imperial Court such as the pacifist Phoenix Clan or more diplomatic Crane Clan. [2]
Feud Edit
They were previously located inside the Unicorn Clan embassy, but before the Scorpion Coup a feud had emerged with the Moto and their leader Moto Ujiaki. To reduce the number of bloody encounters, the Mondai Ketsu were relocated the newly created Fox Clan Embassy. [2]
The Last Hantei Edit
With the death of the last Hantei Emperor, the Mondai Ketsu were used less and less, and were completely inactive by the reign of Toturi I. [3]
Fall of Otosan Uchi Edit
In 1159, during the Fall of Otosan Uchi, the shadowlands forces stormed the Fox Embassy and killed all inside, including his commander Kitsune Taro. [1]
Resurrection? Edit
When the Kitsune were already part of the Mantis Clan, Kitsune Iwarou, the great-grandson of Kitsune Taro, decided that it was time to resurrect the group. It was not known if Iweko I accepted his demands. [3]
Known Commanders Edit

Senator Kennedy Applauds NFG Rate Freeze and Refund Agreement
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Senator Tim Kennedy, D-Buffalo, commended the now-approved rate freeze and refund for Western New York customers of National Fuel Gas Distribution Corporation. Kennedy worked closely with PUSH Buffalo and other community advocates to fight for a fair agreement that directly benefited ratepayers in Buffalo and Western New York.
"With our cold winters and older homes, Western New Yorkers are hit hard each year with high energy bills in order to heat their homes – and we won't soon forget the harsh winter season that's now finally ended," said Senator Kennedy. "With today's news, some help is on the way. As a result of this agreement, millions of dollars will now be redirected to homeowners and local businesses to help lower utility bills through rebates and weatherization programs. Weatherization assistance will help many of our neighbors live a little more comfortably and make it a little easier to make ends meet.
"Investing in weatherization upgrades will not only help reduce the energy bills of local families and seniors, it will also generate good-paying jobs for area workers in the home-construction industry. It's a win-win for the Western New York economy," Kennedy added.
Senator Kennedy thanked Governor Cuomo and the NYS Public Service Commission for helping to deliver a strong and fair agreement for Western New Yorkers.
For addditional details about the agreement, visit: http://www.governor.ny.gov/press/05082014-wny-rate-freeze
Senator Timothy M. Kennedy represents the New York State Senate's 63rd District, which is comprised of the town of Cheektowaga, the city of Lackawanna and nearly all of the city of Buffalo. More information is available at http://kennedy.nysenate.gov.

Remember, it cannot conflict with what has already been done (i.e we know that Theresa took the Spire and is alive as a blind seeress and then the Heroes guide, so we cannot say "When you go to Twinblade, he kills Theresa)!! Lets see who can be the most imaginitive!
