Free energy: a portable electricity generator producing from 5 to 15 kW running on water!
Free energy: a portable electricity generator producing from 5 to 15 kW running on water!
Do not ask me how it works, I have no idea, the video as the official website of the company giving no explanation on the principle of operation. Surely an industrial secret that they wish not to divulge.
Although the model presented generates 3,000 watts, the generators for sale on the site offer 5,000, 10,000, and 15,000 watts with the following prices:
GDS 5000: $ 5,360 CAD, or about € 3,570.
GDS 10000: 7.870 $ CAD, or about 5.240 €
GDS15000: $ 14,885 CAD or about 9,920 €.
This is way too expensive in my opinion, but there is no doubt that the price will drop over time and competition.
15,000 watts is enough power for a very comfortable house with even air conditioning and a heated pool.
The meager explanations of GDS Technologies:
We have developed a portable water-powered generator that creates a lot of energy to run our portable generators that generate energy simply by adding water. Spending money on expensive gas is a thing of the past. We have found a way to produce energy from tap water.
GDS Technologies has created a new emergency and emergency power solution for camping, motorhomes, construction sites, etc. Our generators are 50% less noisy than ordinary gasoline generators and can be used indoors because they do not produce fumes and no pollution.
Save energy, reduce costs, and help the environment with our generators.

A new process of free energy promised to a certain future, if the lobbies oil, nuclear, and distribution of electricity do not put throngs in the wheels of this innovating company.

This lecture, taking place today from 2.00 – 2.30pm in the Digital Crit Space, looks at the impact-related conservation workshop organised by Nikolaos Karydis on the island of Lesvos in Greece. Following the earthquakes the hit the island in 2017, this workshop aimed to familiarise local conservation professionals with the island's vernacular structures and their impressive earthquake behaviour. The latter had been analysed in Karydis' book Eresos (2003) as well as in his recent paper of 2015. Despite these publications, Lesvos' architects and engineers were not familiar with these structures and their earthquake-resistant qualities. The workshop was an opportunity to make Karydis' new research available to these professionals. It also raised awareness of the dangers of the use of cement and reinforced concrete in the repair of these stone and timber structures. At first, local engineers were reluctant to abandon these incompatible methods. Still, during the workshop, most of the participants were convinced that these structures can be repaired with natural materials following the building logic of Lesvos' vernacular buildings. This helped to develop a new attitude to the historic structures of Lesvos and their future preservation.
Stage 3 KSA student to speak at TED x University of Kent
TED is a non-profit organisation devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. As part of the TED x University of Kent event taking place this Saturday 14th May in the Gulbenkian Theatre, Stage 3 student and KSA blog contributor Luisa Pereira-Pires will be speaking about her experiences at her time spent helping out with the Falafel Group in Lesvos.

Diary of an Architecture Student in Lesvos: Boat arrivals, fake vests and papers, Registered NGO camps vs non-registered NGO camps
The first boat I saw arriving was a challenge for me, being the overemotional person that I am. Somehow I managed to overcome my feelings, distance myself from the situation and help in any way I could. As soon as I arrive at the camp in the morning, Jacopo tells me, 'Grab as much clothes as you can, a boat just arrived on a beach nearby'. We then get in the car and he drives skilfully like the good Italian driver that he is. The first thing to do as a boat arrives is to get everyone changed into dry clothes and get wrapped in foil blankets to avoid pneumonia. The boat trip normally takes between 4 to 6 hours; this means you can get soaked in the cold water and you are prone to getting pneumonia. We then give food and help people to move to the bus that will take them to the main UNHCR registering camp – Moria.
After the bus left we got together with some locals and started organizing clothing and separating it between dirty and wet. Our other allies – the hot Spanish Bomberos from Proem Aid http://proemaid.org/ – were dismantling the boat after they had rescued everyone in it. The Bomberos were a group of water-specialized rescuers who came all the way from Spain to help. Their intentions were as good as their looks. I learnt later that these well intentioned young men had been arrested under the claim of human trafficking, by the Greek coast guard, as they were rescuing people from a boat at sea that was sinking. They stayed in prison for a week and even after losing most of their funds to pay for the bail, they remain active on the island. Many of the life vests are fake. They do not prevent drowning thus immediate action is needed, especially in cases where children are involved as they cannot swim.
Following the arrival of the boat, Silvia, Jeremy, Chiara, Jacopo, Rik, Julie, Justine and I went for a trip around the island to visit other camps. The UNHCR camps had a clear separation between volunteers and refugees, barbed wire and fences all around the camps. Although people seemed to be helpful, there was still a sense of coldness that was not found in camps such as the lighthouse where colour and warm materials like timber took over and the only barriers one can see is that of the sea horizon and the beautiful vines. The prefabricated Ikea houses and the barbed wire made the UNHCR camps look like a concentration camp whilst the lighthouse camp reminded me of a scene from a children's book. The free market was starting to take over as you could see vending machines and stands right in front of the UNHCR camps selling food and goods to the refugees. Gypsies were also benefiting and making good money out of the whole situation, since they were infiltrating camps in order to get food and clothes as well as selling things.
When we got to Moria we were even more shocked. Moria used to be a military base that has now turnedinto the main refugee registration camp on the island. Thanks to the work of the individual volunteers the camp had been modestly transformed with a sense of warmth, with some paintings here and there. What was incredible to see was the tents for the already-registered refugees. On average, the waiting time for registration was about 4 days. Once registered, you have to leave the camp to get yourself a ticket to go to mainland Europe on the ferry. Where would you stay between registering and getting a ticket? In the tents next to the camp in the middle of a muddy vineyard or in other camps and squatted places if you were not lucky enough to find a generous Greek family to take you in or to have enough money to get a place to stay at a hostel.
We enjoyed the best tea ever from the British group called Wild Lemon Team operating in the muddy field next to the tents, and talk to some of the volunteers working at Moria. I met little Abdul and his friend who saw me taking pictures and insisted I recorded their friendship. They were about 9 years old and were just wondering around the camp alone. I then asked one of the volunteers what happens to minors arriving alone at the Island to which she replies, 'They normally stay in a special camp for minors for 3 weeks until something is sort out for them, but I never report them as I believe that the minors' camp is awful and they are much happier staying here'.
One other thing we noticed was that there was a special allocation of people depending on their nationality, the reason for this is still unclear to me.
When talking to Dr. Heather Johnson and photographer Iva Zimova about the issues behind the system for registration they both mentioned one very important thing – the system is too complicated for a newcomer to understand, and adding to this, there is a big language and communication barrier. Iva told me about a 16 year old whose uncle lives in the UK. His uncle had offered to pay for everything, his trip and his schooling but because he got denied asylum, he had to do the crossing illegally through the boats. The main aim for now is to privilege war and political refugees seeking asylum, yet a lot of new comers seek better economic and political standards. People as young as me or even younger get sent over through the financial support of their families for it is their family's belief that this is the best option for their sons and daughters to get a better life. When the EU tightens policies for migration and registration this causes people choose illegal methods such as fake papers to get into Europe. Why are people being forced to have to make such decisions? Very often if they are not able to get registered and eventually get deported, they get arrested and put into prison back in their country of origin as the country of origin has to pay for the deportation.
No borders is a rather radical view on the whole issue but open borders is a different matter. Yes, there are borders and indeed we all belong somewhere, at some point, but given the circumstances and according to the basic human rights everyone has the right to seek asylum, no matter where they are from.
On another note, The scepticism of some citizens of Europe towards newcomers, in my opinion, is as a result of the fear of loss of identity and tradition as well as economic possibilities. Economically Europe would benefit from these hardworking people coming to produce and consume our goods and services. Like Nick Hanauer explains on his banned TED talk, "consumers create jobs, not the less taxed super rich". Refugees and migrants are consumers; they do not steal jobs, and they promote the creation of jobs. Also the wave of refugees now arriving on the shores of Europe are those who have the money to pay for the 4000 euros per person for a boat trip. In terms of cultural loss what people do not realise is that cultural change and transformation has happened infinitely amount of times before. Take the Portuguese: there were the Celtics and the Iberians which merged into the Celt Iberians, later came the moors and to this day we have words deriving from Arabic such as Oxala (deriving from Inshallah) which literally translating means 'hope to God' (in Arabic) and 'hope for something to happen' (in Portuguese).
There is indeed a cultural clash going on but we must not show hostility towards each other and both sides must compromise in order for this to be a temporary or permanent (who knows) pacific progression of culture. A New comer will most certainly have to accept and practice the values we have for so long established in the West, the values of freedom so many of us take for granted. We also mustn't assume freedom comes in a superficial form of cultural habits and what they integrate. Freedom relies on having the possibility to choose. In a case like this, one needs more empathy than sympathy. When moving into Germany, I realised Germans do not kiss on the cheeks when meeting someone new, and I thus learnt to shake hands instead. This does not mean I am not allowed to do this with those of same cultural background as me.
Like Gerda Taro and Robert Capa (war photographers from the 20th century), people continue to risk their lives to bring the truth to the surface. However, sadly media still spreads the fear and too many of us are foolish to let them do so. The attacks in Cologne, for instance, were used as a catalyst for the right wing to promote anti-refugee attitudes although only 3 out of the 54 attackers were refugees. [1] My family lives in Bonn and I often go to Cologne for parties, the sort of behaviour that happened during New Year's was already familiar to me. During Carnival fests, about 5 years ago, also in Cologne by the Hauptbahnhof and Cathedral, we had been approached and assaulted by various Caucasian German and English speaking men. This is not a race-related problem, for race doesn't actually exist, it is a made up concept that is used to separate and stigmatize. Sadly, due to the fact that so many people believe in race, one has to consider intersectionality when it comes to such issues. As architects we have to put ourselves in someone else's shoes and consider their background in order to produce something for them, yet at the same time we have to deal with our egos and persona. This is, for me, the most important thing one can learn from Architecture in practice and it is a lesson that can and should be applied outside practice.

Diary of an Architecture Student Volunteer in Lesvos: Food, Clothing, Muscles and Rebels
"There are people out there who are suffering and there's very little they can do about it"…"Sometimes I feel guilty when I'm happy because I know that these people are hurting. How can I be happy when I know that people are being forced to live in refugee camps and ghettos, while women are being sex trafficked and millions of innocent people are suffering? So as I sit here and look at my life, I feel grateful, but I also feel confused."
– Stephen Swartz author of Crossfire
Once I got to Lesvos, Silvia tells me, 'Everyone is taking a break today'. There had been a storm the previous night, which had destroyed the tents and soaked everything. Everyone's mood was down, so we decided to down a couple of Ouzu shots – the best alcohol to go with Chamomile tea and honey as I found out later that night. Seeing all your work getting destroyed was not easy but getting there on such day made it possible for me to get to know everyone. I got to talk with Dervla, this cool motivational Irish lady which gave me great advice. Silvia, the star of the falafel group, and I got some sober drinks and talked, the mood was starting to go up. I got some very good advice from Andreas our Greek man on how to help when the boats arrive. I then met Dani, a 30 year old cool metal head Syrian newcomer who is also a tattoo artist as well as a volunteer in Lesvos. Soon enough I started making connections and sharing experiences. The same situation was being lived differently by different people. We were sharing moments and having fun while going through chaos.
Although it did not become evident to me at first, a lot of the people were involved politically which is crucial but I came to realise that this 'stand', if not done pragmatically, can collide or even work against the humanization and the solidarity that is so needed given the circumstances.
Leo had sign me in for the Lunch Shift. I did a bit of everything: cooking, sorting out clothes and just get to know people. I had the chance to put my French to test.
The clothing tent was extraordinarily difficult to manage; we had to sort out clothes and separate wet from dry from dirty as well as men's from women's from children. Socks had to be pinned together into groups of 3 pairs. Omaira, Ella and I spent the day sorting these out into bags to be sent to the 'Dirty Girls'. The Dirty Girls are a group of women which gather most clothing from the camps, wash it, dry it and send it back to the warehouse which will then be distributed to all the camps across the island on list of demands made by each camp. Camps would cooperate with each other alot of generous donations came from locals. However chaotic the situation was … somehow things seemed to be working out.
After a while I started making all the shifts for the Clothing tent. A major issue was the fact that the tent had been damaged from the storm thus clothes had gotten wet. On top of this, we had stray dogs coming in and out leaving that wonderful dog smell on the clothes and blankets. I took on the task of sorting things out, fixing the tent and put the clothes on the top shelves for limited and practically impossible canine access.
Soon, I had my two habibis, Mohamed and Mohamed Saeed helping me out in the tent. As the camp, at the time, was mostly made up of sassy young men with a great sense of fashion they were the most appropriate to help. Mohamed and Mohamed Saeed were Algerian, both with beautiful brown eyes always down to help out and make jokes amongst us with broken French, Arabic and English. Malik joined us a couple of times and he was so tired one day Ella found him sleeping like a baby in the blanket tent. Chiara joined us later on and she was by far the greatest contributor to this task, always motivated and focused.
Meanwhile in the kitchen Silvia, Jeremy, Riki and Lulu kept busy making vegan food and distributing it. Leo and Louis kept fixing bits and pieces of the structure they had started to build in the previous weeks. Together with the help of Riki and Jacopo they started expanding and reinforcing the existing structures by using some reclaimed wooden pallets and covers recycled from the rafts and from some donations of the UNHCR. At this point Pierre was developing his project in the Greek man's workshop.
The collaborative spirit between volunteers and newcomers was a great thing to be part of. All these men and women put their muscles and brains to good use and helped Leo and Louis building the front reinforced cover for the kitchen. Men have just as many collaborative and multitasking skills as women do. I got to meet the most awesome male feminists and they took over the role of helping in the kitchen, cooking delicious things for everyone and making great contributions towards the construction of infrastructure.
I was told I reminded someone of their mother, I could see how much he must have missed her. I got some speakers and we got a party going and interestingly enough I found out that I wasn't the only one to obsess over Kuduro from Angola, which was so refreshing since no one around here seems to know what it was. Everyone gathered in front of the kitchen listening to some Arabic or Portuguese lyric music, it was great. At some point the music stopped and someone had taken the portable charging device from the speakers. Surely they will give it much more use than I ever would!
The collaboration in the building and management of the spaces was crucial in order to engage in conversation with the refugees instead of distancing volunteers from refugees. The political engagement of some of the volunteers we partnered up with was, for me, too extreme and not useful. Having had to spend hours and hours in meetings where my voice was ignored was frustrating as I would much rather be outside looking at the stars and dancing with the rest of the people. Our over politicized meetings sounded to the people outside like a 'football match between Barcelona and Real Madrid' – a quote from Malik's friend.
Although the camp was managed throughout the day with the collaboration of everyone, for some reason only on one occasion did we have one of the newcomers present, the most linguistically intelligent young men I have met – Abdul. Abdul spoke Spanish, Arabic, Italian, French and English and he was a peace maker trying to help everyone, he translated so much for us! His voice and that of some of the other newcomers had not been heard during the meeting which infuriated me. It seemed to me that some people we had partnered up with had good intentions yet their blindness led them to make wrong decisions. Decisions that contradicted their own beliefs of freedom and of kindness, and obviously put everyone else at risk.
When the next storm was brewing Abdul said to me, 'As long as we have dry clothes and blankets to change to in the morning we will be fine.' This seemed reasonable to me, yet some people decided to take some of the migrants, who had not get registered, to a 'safer place' – the hospital. One of the nurses had to inform the police and let's just say that had they not had their hands full at the time they could have gotten those people into big trouble. Some guy also said, 'Why would I go to the hospital and sit if I can lay down here?' Indeed why would you sit inside a building that stinks of death when you can lay down outside looking at the stars and at the views.
It seems to me that some volunteers were only interested on being the 'good guy'. Being a rebel, an activist and a volunteer has become trendy and 'cool'. Going along and accepting all rules can be damaging, yet rebelling against them for the purpose of being a rebel can be even worse, and in all honesty, stupid.
The original definition of 'Hero' in ancient Greece, and for Brazilians, is that of someone who has the great ability to get themselves into a lot of trouble and get out of it in the most possible 'badass' way, that is pragmatically and 'in the moment'. The two examples of real Heroes I know of is Ulysses (Greek) and Macunaima (Brazilian) and yes those young men (refugees) are the one and only real authentic definition of Hero, the volunteers are nothing but the secondary characters of each and every Odyssey of those heroes.

Diary of an Architecture Student Volunteer in Lesvos
When the opportunity of going to Lesvos to work as a volunteer came up I did not hesitate to take part. I got involved with the Lesvos Falafel Project (http://www.lesbosfalafel.com/ ) through Leopold from BUREAU A (http://www.a-bureau.com/), an Architecture firm I had been working with during September in Lisbon. Their approach is very refreshing and different from the excessive formality we experience here in England, thus I knew the Lesvos Falafel Project would be something thrilling and interesting to be part of. The lessons I learnt throughout the week I spent with the Falafel Crew and the NBK (No Border Kitchen) people – our allies – were life changing and covered a range of aspects from politics to architecture to cultural differences. This was a very humanizing and extraordinarily enriching experience.
Architecture had a big role to play in this situation. An experience like this helps you open your eyes to the power we have in our hands to change things and to help us define aims for our generation. We cannot sit in the studio all day keeping our eyes shut to the rest of the world, we need to put ourselves out there to have new experiences otherwise architecture is really pointless and rather repetitive. Existentialism is perfectly adapted to Architecture, and, in my opinion, Architecture turns out to be a catalyst for Existentialism. I had been wondering about the irrationality and amorality of this Universe as well as the significance of being human ever since I have read 'The Stranger' by Albert Camus, 4 years ago. Now it seems clear that although we live in it at least we, as individuals, made up realities that allow us to walk through life. Architecture plays a big role in this, it helps us advancing and not only teaches us about life itself it also teaches us about ourselves as individuals in a broader context.
Our group consisted of young empathetic energetic people with ages ranging from 20 to 70 years old from different areas of interest: Chiara Banchini, the sassiest violinist I have ever met, Leo Banchini, my good friend and visionary with a great love for picking on Portuguese dishes, Silvia Converso, the mother and centre of the group, Jeremy Schuh, our Chef and self-employed organic farmer, Jacopo Corsini, the meat lover with the coolest sense of humour, Louis Mejean and Pierre Cauderay (http://www.aazar.ch/accueil.html), our 'shower and bath architects' with a lot of energy and a very decent pair of muscles. We have extra team members that stayed in Lesvos for a month: Julie Melichar and Justine Boillat working in Partnership with other camps amongst which were Moria (UN Camp) and Skala (Lighthouse Camp). Rik, Lulu and our kind workshop Greek Man have done great contributions toward the project.
In order to incorporate all the experiences and important topics that connect to architecture I will be composing a series of 'entries' that can be published weekly. So keep an eye on the KSA Blog First Entry will come soon!

China intends to supply FC-1 multipurpose fighters to Azerbaijan, Izvestia daily reads Nov.19 referring to the information that design was made with the assistance of Russian Aircraft Corporation "MiG".
According to the source, the contract for FC-1 production was signed by Rosoboronexport with the approval of Russian Federal Service of Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC). Zimbabwe is also among the potential buyers, whereas Beijing intends to launch a serial manufacturing of the fighters in Pakistan.
Azeri Military Expert Uzeir Jafarov confirmed the information and added, "As far as I know, negotiations were held and our country intends to buy the hardware from China. Thus, I deem our defense ministry plans to purchase the equipment from the PRC."
Meanwhile, the expert was puzzled with potential possibility of Chinese equipment purchase – which he considers is not widely used.
As per Chinese and Pakistani experts, up to 800 fighters might be sold. FSMTC seems to be comfortable about it, intending to supply China with 100 engines for FC-1, Izvestia says.
Rouslan Pukhov, Russian defense analyst and director of the Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, declared that without Russian engines there cannot be any major export of Chinese fighters. "It's another matter that China might act in its own way. They can sign a contract with us assuring the engines are intended for them, however resell them further, thus causing a direct damage to us," Pukhov underlined.

Arsene Wenger was clearly delighted after his team came back from a goal down to beat Barcelona at the Emirates last night.
Van Persie and Arshavin scored two important goals in a space of five minutes in the second half that changed the game. However, Wenger took a big gamble, when Arsenal were still trailing, in bringing on Arshavin for Song, who was holding the midfield.
Speaking after the game, the manager explained how his gamble worked when he replaced Song with Arshavin in order to go for it but admitted that it could have backfired.
Wenger was also full of praise for Wilshere and Koscielny after the game. Wilshere and Koscielny both played a major role in the comeback of Arsenal as Wilshere was excellent in the middle of the park and Koscielny took care of the proceedings at the back.
Speaking about Wilshere's performance, the manger admitted that he was outstanding and said that how being unfazed by the occasion helped the young English man to perform well.
As for Koscielny, Wenger said that he is improving with every game as he was also outstanding last night.
When asked about Nasri's return, Wenger said that how after a slow start he became stronger as the time passed and never looked like a player returning from injury.
Samir Nasri provided the final ball to Arshavin that led to the winner in the 83rd minute.
Wenger, after the game, said:
It was a mixture of the yellow card [he received] and because I wanted to go for it. We finished with Wilshere, Fabregas, Nasri, Bendtner and Van Persie – we needed to score two goals. We took a gamble and it could have backfired and we could have lost 2-0 or 3-0 to them. It worked.
[Jack Wilshere] was outstanding tonight. He was not fazed by the occasion in difficult periods. He took the ball and got out of the pressure. For me, [Laurent Koscielny] was outstanding. He is improving. [Samir Nasri] became stronger and stronger. He did not look like a player who has not played for such a long time. He started hesitantly and became more confident.

Visit This Mexican Gem and You May Never Leave
"There is a saying here," mused Xaviera—our intelligent and striking weeklong host from the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board—"that if you drink the water of the Cuale River, then you will wind up staying forever."
This was no contrived brand-plan jargon. A native of Guadalajara some four hours away, Xaviera was speaking from personal experience
As the days merrily went by, this became a theme so overriding it could not be ignored. I began asking nearly every local and expat we met for their backstories as my hypothesis became trend.
Hugo, our witty and engaging Vallarta Adventures guide, relocated from Mexico City more than 11 years ago.
"I visited here once and said to myself, 'I have to live here. I must figure out how to live here,'" he remembers. "I saw what Vallarta Adventures was doing, both from all the fun but also their conservation and responsibility efforts, and I said to myself, 'I have to work here.'"
More than a decade later, not only is Hugo still working for Vallarta Adventures, but he is the ideal guide in a very literal sense. Personable and sincerely funny, he is seemingly a close friend with every blue-clad Vallarta Adventures co-worker he encounters—one loses count of how many local people are employed by the region's largest and clearly beloved operator.
What's more, at each village we entered—whether a seaside hamlet of less than a hundred or a winding cluster of 1,000 people, whose homes ascend along a plunging river to its waterfall source—he was greeted endlessly with, "Hola, Hugo!" and a hearty wave to match.
Not every guide received such a greeting, but then again, not every guide carried around a trash bag so he could help beautify each location visited every single day.
"I'm trying to set an example for the other guides," Hugo said. "But it's also to help teach the tourists and local people to value their villages and homes and the land around us. Many have begun to do this, and it is wonderful, but I also still want more to do so."
The only time Hugo's smile ever fades is when he ponders his impending future. He is leaving Puerto Vallarta soon for Cancun, transferring as a tour guide for Vallarta Adventures' sister company there.
"It is a wonderful opportunity for my family and me, but we are all sad and nervous to leave. We are excited too, but this is still difficult. Cancun is glittering and fancy but manufactured like Las Vegas or Miami. This is real Mexico here."
Liz—who left her longtime home in Wichita, Kansas barely a year ago after one visit to Puerto Vallarta—didn't know she was searching for real Mexico until she arrived. She now works in Public Relations for Vallarta Adventures.
"I almost moved to France a few years ago, but I backed out at the last minute," said Liz, whose boundless, positive energy amuses her co-workers and guests alike. "It all just kind of worked out that I could interview here and then get hired exactly as I became enthralled with this place. I am exactly where I was supposed to be: I love working here. I can never get enough of the beautiful sunsets each night. I never want to leave."

Talk to Shawn from Vallarta Food Tours, and you get a similar story. She arrived from Vail, Colorado more than 20 years ago after a career as an attorney.
Today, Shawn leads first-timers (like me) and veterans alike through a rotating half-dozen restaurants and food stands—like Taco's Neto, Pichis and No-Name Tacos—from mid-morning until mid-afternoon.
"The seafood is actually the freshest in the morning. Get it then," advises Shawn. "The catch has just come in, and many of these truly local places sell out by the end of lunch."
Along the way, we also sampled goat stew (delicious) at Birria Robles and Mayan-inspired pibil (ditto) at Antojeria Pibil. We enjoyed freshly made tamales, specially prepared just for our arrival at La Tia Anita. We were blessed by a spontaneous free sample from the neighborhood tortilla factory, fresh off the press. We savored a Jamaica-water infused popsicle at Paleteria Villasenor dessert café.
Yet, the conversation inevitably and naturally returned to the soaring mountains and azure sea both in view from this Pitillal neighborhood—Puerto Vallarta's nearest and most populated municipality.
"I packed up and left everything behind. I have loved exploring all of Mexico, and I have learned so much from the Mexican people here and everywhere," said Shawn, "but Puerto Vallarta really is a magical, ideal place.
"There was a young man in the Canadian Navy who, on his way to the war in 1939, passed through Puerto Vallarta when the ship stopped to resupply. Even though this place was merely a fishing village and mining center of a couple hundred people at the time, he took one look at the mountains and sea, and he vowed he would come back here to live. He did when the war was done and lived here the rest of his life, passing away only recently."
The day before, a high-ranking officer of the Mexican Navy and I were standing around enjoying a cocktail in the Share lounge of the Emerald Princess, welcomed via ceremony while making her maiden call on Puerto Vallarta.
After 45 years in the service, he finally got his wish to be stationed at the small base here: "I honeymooned here in 1975. Of course, there was only one hotel in town at the time and very little of what you see around us was here. It is amazing to see how much it has grown, but this is still a beautiful, quiet, safe place. This is a good place to be."
1975 is twelve years after Hollywood icons Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton famously "discovered" this place as well, eventually building homes and setting off a chain reaction of American interest.
Today, the cruise port has grown to the point that it is undergoing a complete renovation: A new, hacienda-style terminal will welcome guests with authentic Mexican architecture while also doubling as a commercial center for the town. Parking and services are also being upgraded to accommodate Latin America's largest aquarium, which is being built on the outcrop of the cruise port itself.
"Puerto Vallarta was not constructed as a tour destination like some other Mexican cities," says Javier Aranda Pedrero, General Director of the Puerto Vallarta Tourism Board, himself a recent arrival to the city. "This has been built by the original people living here, with both a strong Mayan culture and a strong Mexican culture
"Tourism is 98 percent of our economy, but it is about more than that. It is about people doing the best job they can at whatever they do, making everyone feel welcome here, whether you are coming from somewhere else in Mexico or around the world. You can find mountains elsewhere in Mexico. You can find the sea nearly everywhere in Mexico, but this is the place to find both together with such friendliness.
"Our state of Jalisco is the birthplace of tequila, the birthplace of the mariachi, the birthplace of charrereia. We like to say that Jalisco is the heartbeat of all things Mexico."
Again, if this sounds like brandspeak, it's only because it seems too good to be true.
Spend a week here for yourself and be the judge. You'll find a gracious hospitality exuding from the Villa Premiere Boutique Hotel & Romantic Getaway, an adults-only seaside paradise within walking distance of the famous Romantic District.
You'll find it everywhere, from the sparkling oceanside Malecon to the smallest shop on a cobblestone street to the hacienda 15 miles outside the city.
This is apparently an inherent attitude, not some Stepford-like mandate.
"Conde' Nast recently voted us one of the most friendly places in the world," said Xaviera, "but the sign at the airport really says it all: 'Welcome to Puerto Vallarta, the friendliest city in the world.' We have an amazing gift here, and we want to share it with people."

Of course, sharing that gift means caring about that gift as well. Caring means working to preserve it as the number of tourists increase and global environmental trends and challenges reach even this oasis.
"We want to teach people to love the ocean," says Julio Nasta Icaza, Director of Blau Life, who is heading the construction of his company's newest project—the aforementioned aquarium that will dwarf all others in Latin America. (They also operate Mexico City's famous Acuario Ibursa aquarium.)
"We work closely with the schools in Mexico City, just as we will here. It's very important that we teach conservation of our coral reefs as well as giving people education through an experience. People must understand how important these are to our planet's systems."
Conservation also became a frequent topic during our day trip with Hugo—one filled with seascape tours, an encounter with rescued dolphins, exploration of Vallarta Adventures' personal cove beach and entertainment villas, along with drinks at the most gorgeous ocean overlook you can imagine.
"Each day, Vallarta Adventures sends out two of these large boats (over 25 feet long) to pick up trash from the bay," said Hugo. "We fill these every single day. People need to stop using plastic bottles, bags and straws because they needlessly kill wildlife and they never disappear. Remember, everything winds up in the sea. It does not disappear; It goes to the sea."
Puerto Vallarta has gotten the message and is now acting on it, having made the mystical Marieta Islands into a national park, along with currently moving to make the seabound Arcos rocks formations as well. (It's one of two breeding grounds left in the world for the Blue-footed Booby bird.)
Sitting on the edge of the Sea of Cortez, (which Jacques Cousteau once called "the world's aquarium"), is both a privilege and a responsibility—even more so than ensuring Puerto Vallarta's cobblestone streets are preserved or every new construction maintains a classic Mexican style.
After all, there are a whole lot more visitors on the horizon for paradise.
Many will make the right choice to never leave, working to share and preserve the treasure just discovered.

"MyLifeDidn'tHaveto BeA PainInTheNeck!" Neck pain can be a constant ache or sharp pain with movement, stopping you from enjoying life's activities. Neck pain is very common affecting approximately 2/3 rds of the population at one point or another. People with neck pain suffer mainly from one of the following conditions: Degenerative Disc Disease The discs are the fluid filled sacs between the bones of your neck. The normal aging process shrinks the discs and dries them out. Repeated stress and strain also weakens the tissues that make up a disc. When this happens, the disc loses its ability to absorb shock. In turn, this causes rubbing and changes in the shape of the joints in your neck, which can be painful.www.elitephysicaltherapy.com

An applicant may file a request for a decision according to the state of the file at any stage during examination proceedings, provided that at least one communication in examination has been sent (see also C‑V, 15.4). The request should be explicit and unambiguous, preferably using the wording "according to the state of the file" or "on the file as it stands".
If the request is not clear in this respect, the examiner should solve the ambiguity with an enquiry to the applicant.
A request for a decision according to the state of the file does not imply the withdrawal of a pending request for oral proceedings. Consequently, when filing a request for such a decision, it is recommended that the applicant also withdraws any pending request for oral proceedings (conditional or otherwise). If the applicant does not do so, the examiner will request him to clarify in writing that he withdraws his request for oral proceedings before a decision according to the state of the file can be issued.
If the request for clarification is unsuccessful, the examining division will summon to oral proceedings (see also E‑III, 4).

The item we're loving this week is ...
The It List: Silk Laundry accessories
The product: Silk Laundry accessories.
Why we love it: Canadian brand Silk Laundry is known for its sleek-and-chic silk separates, which include slip dresses, outerwear, blouses and more.
Now, the brand is getting into the accessories game (in a small way, for now) with a curated selection of pieces. The collection includes a bucket hat, a silk belt and a very on-trend hair scrunchie. Each piece features an "elevated" colour or print.
While we can appreciate the simplicity of all three pieces in this range, we're partial to the bucket hat, a fun take on the hat style that elevates any look thanks to its silk exterior — which also happens to be reversible.
Two hats in one? We can definitely get into that.
The price: $45-$130.
The retailer: Silklaundry.ca

After half a century of serving rural British farmers, a seaweed fertilizer maker has gone global, doubling export sales of its wonder formula in the past year.
Chase Organics has increased production of SM6, a Soil Association approved "biostimulant", by 60pc in the past few months to meet international demand.
The company uses a particularly nutrient-rich genus of North Atlantic seaweed, called Ascophyllum nodosum, which grows on the shores of the UK.
In a "coal to Newcastle" story of international success, the firm's most successful markets for the seaweed concentrate are in Asia, with Chinese, Taiwanese, Korean and Japanese customers opting to purchase the British seaweed extrant rather than use local products.
Europe produces less than 5pc of the farmed kelp in the world, with more than 90pc grown in the Far East.
In Canada, marijuana farms are currently in trials with the product, keen to produce a much larger bud. "SM6 can be used to help grow anything," says Chase Organics boss Mike Hedges, who has been with the company for 30 years.
The marijuana industry is always on the lookout for new and innovative ways to enhance cannabis cultivation. For instance, an increasing number of cannabis businesses are embracing cultivation seed to sale software as well as other marijuana growing solutions.
As well as the industry becoming more innovative, more and more people are joining the industry to grow their own marijuana. With this seed shop being widely available for anyone who wishes to grow their own, cultivation is increasing.
British consumers have already tasted the company's seaweed-supercharged produce, claims Hedges, as many of the Southern European organic citrus fruits sold in the UK's supermarkets are grown using SM6.
"Seaweed can withstand boiling hot sun and frozen seas, and grows very quickly. In the same way that humans are what they eat, plants absorb these characteristics from seaweed fertilizer, growing stronger roots and giving a better yield and quality of crop," claims Hedges.
Hersham-based Chase Organics produces the biostimulant exclusively in the UK, and has now taken on a new manufacturing facility in Weybridge to help meet growing demand.
Farmers are increasingly switching from synthetic fertilizers to organic, natural varieties to meet growing consumer demand for produce that has not been treated with harsh chemicals.
"When you take the lid off SM6, you can smell the sea," says Hedges. "Most other seaweed products give off a chemical smell, or no odour at all. With ours, farmers can sense immediately that they are getting a very natural product."
Some of the purest sources of this kind of seaweed are found on the West Coast of Ireland, where crofters have been harvesting small sections of the beaches for thousands of years.
"People who live by the sea have always known that seaweed makes an excellent fertilizer," says Hedges, who employs more than 100 crofters, and is about to take on more suppliers on the North Atlantic coast.
The business, which was founded in the 1950s, produces an organic gardening catalogue, which sells seeds and gardening products around the world.
Last year, this side of the business represented 75pc of revenues, but the boom in SM6 sales will see the seaweed extract division grow to 50pc of turnover within three years.
The small manufacturer is on target to hit £1m in revenue within three years, after 50 years of being a lifestyle business.

This chapter takes as its ethnographic focus the Scottish independence referendum in 2014, examining the Orange Order campaign against a 'Yes' vote. The chapter opens with a discussion of the Order's exclusion from the mainstream 'Better Together' campaign, and their decision to set up a rival campaign called 'British Together'. Analytically, the chapter argues that the Order found itself well outside the mainstream of the Scottish independence debate because it refused to separate (unionist) politics from (Protestant) religion, a move that was mirrored in their insistence that the SNP was not only pro-independence, but pro-Catholic. The chapter goes on to argue that this logic left many Orangemen positioning themselves as latter-day Covenanters, fighting to maintain the heritage of the Protestant Reformation. For other Orangemen, the referendum and their campaign against independence led them to embrace the identity of latter-day loyalists, imagining themselves to be fighting (as in Northern Ireland) to maintain the integrity of the UK against republican enemies. This chapter concludes with an examination of Barth's Ethnic groups and boundaries. The chapter critiques Barth by showing how Orangemen embrace reification and self-essentialism, suggesting that such actions cannot be dismissed as analytical category errors.
The Conclusion returns to the overall theoretical argument of the book that the Scottish Orange Order needs to be made sense of as a kind of Protestant exceptionalism. The beginning sets this out via an analysis of British Israelite theology and its connections to Orange ideology. The key concept of Orange chosenness is explored in detail here, as are the connected themes of divine Queenship, the manifest destiny of British Protestants (in conversation with American Puritans), as well as the more contemporary case of the language of chosenness among Rangers fans. The conclusion then considers the implications of Orange ideas about exceptionalism, arguing that the result is a set of interlocking claims about the moral personhood of British Protestants in relation to the non-moral personhood attributed to Catholics. In making this case, the book draws on Augustine's theology of evil as privatio boni, or the absence of good, suggesting that for Orangemen, Catholicism is just such an absence of (moral) personhood. The book concludes by suggesting that this kind of exclusionary exceptionalism is far more common than might be suspected, and, as such, the Orange Order cannot be dismissed as atypical of human social group formation.
This conclusion presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book examines the criminal justice system's interactions with victims of crime. It demonstrates the 'conditions of possibility' of the return of victims of crime by examining the factors that shaped this emergence and informed its assumptions. The book focuses on 'rupture', 'discontinuity' and the 'incidence of interruptions' in order to produce a proper understanding of this emergence. It considers service provision for victims of crime. The book charts the challenges which continue to face service users, providers and the wider criminal justice sector in the delivery of services which are responsive to the needs of victims and meet increased demands under the EU Directive on Victims' Rights.
This chapter takes as its ethnographic focus the Glencruix Orange Social Club, a private bar for Orangemen which provides a key space for fraternal sociability and bonding. By describing the lives and conversations of Orangemen here, this chapter argues that any anthropology of 'The Good' needs to rethink what might be legitimately included within this category; failure to do so will lead to a fundamental failure to understand the moral claims which Orangemen themselves make. This argument hinges on a partial conflation of fraternal love and sectarian hate, a conflation which is designed to show how loving fellow Orangemen and hating (largely imagined and absent) Catholics are interdependent social processes. Drawing on the philosophical work of Burke on 'the negative', the chapter suggests that a love for the fraternity necessitates a relational rejection, just as sectarian hate necessitates a relational embrace. A key element of the attendant ethnographic context here is the football rivalry between Celtic FC and Rangers FC which stands as Scotland's most infamous occasion for performances of sectarian hate. The conclusion of the chapter, that hate can be part of 'The Good', begins to set up the book's overall Conclusion about the morality of exceptionalism.
Opening with an ethnographic description of a moment of crisis in the Orange Social Club that forms a key field-site for the rest of the book, the Introduction proceeds to outline the key research questions which frame the text – questions about the nature of religion as a political and ethnic signifier. Next, the Introduction situates the importance of these questions within two interlocking debates within anthropology, concerning the place of Christianity and ethics/morality as ethnographic subjects in need of urgent attention and reconsideration. The answer this chapter introduces, and which is then unpacked throughout the rest of the book, is that Orange claims about Protestant exceptionalism, if they are to be understood properly, require anthropologists and other ethnographers to rethink what can legitimately be included within scholarly and common-sense definitions of 'The Good'. The chapter offers a survey of the (seemingly contradictory) ideological heterogeneity, demographic homogeneity, and moral/ethical duality of the Orange Order in Scotland. Before ending with a summary of the main ethnographic and conceptual themes of the book, the chapter offers some reflexive commentary on methods and ethics in the context of conducting research with what many consider to be politically toxic social groups.
Justice systems are partially being reconstructed again, as they demonstrate an increased sensitivity to the needs and concerns of victims of crime. It has been suggested that a number of factors has facilitated the increased awareness of victims in Western criminal justice systems, which are discussed in this chapter. To begin with, the introduction of state compensation programmes can be viewed as an early attempt to move victims away from the periphery of the criminal process. The growth in the women's movement also 'raised the consciousness of women to the oppression of criminal violence'. The European Convention of Human Rights acts as another influential normative framework that seeks to extend the reach of rights in the criminal process to include victims of crime. The chapter provides information on specific challenges for the Irish criminal process. It also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.
This chapter offers a detailed ethnographic analysis of the Grand Orange Lodge Archive as a space where Orangemen act as amateur historians to produce historical accounts which make sense of the claimed primordial sectarian conflict between Catholics and Protestants. The empirical focus is on three Orange archivists, plus visitors to the archive, and their discussions about how contemporary Scottish society and politics is being shaped by the long-standing threats of papal aggression, Irish republicanism, and Scottish nationalism. Analytically, the chapter makes use of new theories of conspiracism to suggest that Orange history-making offers members of the Order a coherent and powerful a theodicy with which to interpret the world around them. The chapter concludes by warning against exoticising such conspiracy beliefs, suggesting that there is a strong hermeneutic elective affinity between certain types of conspiracism and certain versions of anthropological theory-building.
This chapter documents a variety of issues which continue to concern victims of crime in Ireland and those working on their behalf. The absence of comprehensive, accurate and reliable data on the experience of victims of crime while engaging with the criminal justice system and support services is raised as a concern. The chapter examines the challenges facing the state in tackling the problem of under-reporting and attrition in this country. It also documents the burden placed on victims and the potential for disillusionment and further trauma through engagement with the system, focusing on the potential to minimise risk through comprehensive training programmes designed to enable front-line workers to provide a sensitive and compassionate service to victims. Innovative policy options adopted in other jurisdictions, including the creation of an Ombudsman for Victims of Crime and measures to unify service provision within the sector, including Witness Care Units, are also explored.
The re-emergence of the crime victim in Ireland was due to four principal influences that created pressure on the Irish government to alter the status of crime victims. These principal influences were: victimology research; the victims' movement; the recognition and expansion of human rights; and crime became a national election issue, with a contemporaneous decrease in public satisfaction with the criminal justice system. This chapter outlines these four principal influences that transformed the victim of crime in Ireland from a piece of evidence to a stakeholder in the criminal justice system worthy of consideration, requiring the scales of justice to be balanced. In doing so, it highlights an apparent paradox: many of the activities that transformed victims of crime into recognised criminal justice stakeholders were the result of initiatives and efforts meant to aid offenders.
This book offers the first ever ethnography of the Orange Order in Scotland via an in-depth analysis of 'The Good' of exceptionalism. While stylistically similar to Freemasonry, the Orange Order differs in being a strictly Protestant-only fraternity committed to preserving the Reformation and the constitutional union of the United Kingdom. Established in late eighteenth-century Ulster, the Order today is not only ultra-Protestant and ultra-unionist, but, according to critics, is also deeply sectarian, viewing Roman Catholicism as a despotic religious-cum-political 'menace' dedicated to destroying Great Britain. Through a fine-grained anthropological account of Orangeism during the Scottish independence debate, this book takes readers inside Scotland's most infamous fraternal organisation – an organisation which members refer to not as a secret society, but as a 'society with secrets'. What, according to these Scottish Orangemen, should a good Protestant life look like? By drawing on new literature within the anthropology of ethics and morality, this book answers this central question by examining the culture of Scottish Orangeism in the widest possible sense, assessing the importance not only of loyalist marches and unionist political campaigning, but also Orange gossip and fraternal drinking, the performance of ritual and secrecy, celebrations of football fandom and sectarian hate, as well as the formation and sharing of anti-Catholic conspiracy narratives. Combining ethnographic depth with analytical breadth, this book argues that what makes the Order so compelling to members yet so repugnant to its critics is its steadfast refusal to separate religion from politics and fraternity from ethnicity.

English Major Selected to Speak at Commencement
English and Secondary Education senior Jenna Pratt has been selected as the student speaker for this year's College of Arts & Letters commencement ceremony.
Originally from Laingsburg, Mich., Pratt will speak about her experiences as a Spartan, a College of Arts & Letters student, and how your Spartan identity follows you wherever you choose to go.
As the student commencement speaker, Pratt will represent the graduating class and inspire her peers as they move on from Michigan State. She was chosen from a group of students who applied to be commencement speakers, going through a written application and an in-person interview.
While at MSU, Pratt was involved in several on-campus groups and found her Spartan family. She was in the Riverview Church chapter campus and co-lead a Bible study in Akers Hall and also was a member of the Red Cedar Rowdies, the student section for the men's soccer team. During her junior year, she studied abroad in London for six weeks with the Literature in London program.
Don't be afraid to be yourself. It's easy to push against who you truly are so you can be accepted and fit in, but you do not have to.
"The biggest takeaway from my time here is how valuable building a community truly is," Pratt said. "The academics, and life as well, can get tough and it is really important to have a strong group of friends around you. It can make a huge difference."
After two years at Central Michigan University, Pratt transferred to Michigan State University, where she studied to be an secondary-education English teacher.
As she graduates, she leaves this advice for current and future Spartans: "Don't be afraid to be yourself. It's easy to push against who you truly are so you can be accepted and fit in, but you do not have to. To truly take advantage of your time at MSU, I really think you have to be true to yourself."
After graduation, Pratt will student teach English at Owosso High School with students in grades 10 to 12.

Project Summary
This detailed case study from the Institute for Human-Animal Connection at University of Den-ver aimed to understand how an increased Live Release Rate (LRR) in Austin, TX has impacted parts of shelter operations, such as: cost per animal, length of stay (LOS) and companion animal quality of life. The findings create a template for calculating the direct costs associated with caring for companion animals at other sheltering and rescue organizations.
To understand how an increased LRR in Austin, TX has impacted parts of Austin Pet's Alive! (APA!) shelter operations, such as cost per animal, length of stay, and quality of life.
APA! was selected for this study because the shelter has a high rate of live outcomes for "difficult-to-place" pets. This retrospective cohort study used data from APA!'s animal management software, ShelterLuv. Data included all cats and dogs in APA!'s care with an intake date between January 1, 2018, and May 1, 2018, and had an outcome before July 2, 2018. The sample of 244 cats and 226 dogs represented a wide range of medical and behavior conditions.
- Cats who spent more days at the animal shelter had a total higher cost of care ($12/day). Cats with the longest LOS (130-160 days) had a median cost of care over $1,800.
- Cats with behavior challenges were by far the most expensive (median cost of care at $728), and had the longest length of stay (median of 63 days on-site). Healthy cats had the lowest cost of care (under $50) and median number of days on-site (3.5).
- Regarding age, neonates had the lowest cost for care ($55) and number of days on-site (3); senior cats had the highest median cost for care ($269) and number of days on-site (16).
- Results related to cat size showed that small cats had a higher cost for care, lower adoption rate, and longer number of days on-site than the neonate cats, which resulted in the neonate cats having a median profit to APA! and small cats having a median loss to APA!.
- Similarly dogs who spent more days on-site had a total higher cost of care ($13/day). Dogs who spent the longest at APA! (120-149 days), had a median cost of care > $2,000.
- The dogs with behavior challenges had the longest length of stay (16 days on-site) and the third highest cost of care ($295). Dogs with distemper and parvo had the highest median costs of care ($374 and $333, respectively). Healthy dogs had lowest median cost ($37).
- Regarding age, neonate dogs had the lowest median cost of care ($50) and shortest median number of days on-site (2). Adult dogs had the highest median cost of care ($224) and the longest LOS (8.5 days on-site). Senior dogs adoption fee was $25, while the other age categories (neonate, juvenile, and adult) had a median adoption fee of $160. Neonate and juvenile dogs had a median final profit to APA!, while adult and senior dogs had a median final loss to APA!.
- Regarding size, cost of care was highest for large dogs ($200) and lowest for neonate dogs ($40). Neonate dogs also had the shortest median number of days on-site (2), while medium dogs had the longest median number of days on-site (8 days). Neonate and small dogs turned a median profit for APA!; medium and large dogs resulted in a final median loss for APA!.
Not surprisingly, longer LOS has a correlation with higher cost of care. Results showed that the conditions resulting in the longest length of stay and highest cost of care were behavior and calici for cats, and distemper, behavior, and parvovirus for dogs. The conditions resulting in the shortest length of stay and least cost of care were neonatal age, health, ringworm, and FIV for cats, and neonatal age, health, ringworm, and medical "other" for dogs.As shelters increasingly care for animal who are more difficult to adopt, they may consider expanding the enrichment and training program opportunities to encourage potential pet-owners to learn more about basic cat and dog health and behavior. Shelters also can offer temporary adoption programs that allow a prospective pet owner to test out having the pet in their home before formal adoption to ensure it is the right fit (like the pre-adopt program at APA!), which are shown to prevent returned adoptions and relinquishment.

I am a Canadian librarian living in Australia, trying to keep track of all the books I've read so I can remember what to recommend to people. I also want to keep connected to other reviewers who might find a gem I have not yet discovered on my own. My focus is kids' and teens' books, but I'll review an adults' book if it could be enjoyed by younger audiences. And, who are we kidding, older audiences who typically like books meant for younger audiences. And in some cases, younger audiences who typically like books that older audiences who typically like books meant for younger audiences like. I could go on, but I'll save it for the review pages!

A recital by a serious, thoughtful and accomplished colleague is always a great delight. Yesterday was such a performance by Margaret Mills. She performed one of the great piano works of all time, The Suite Bergamasque by Debussy, which includes the famous Clair de Lune, one of the pieces that was almost done to death when I was a youngster. This suite has the capacity to utterly change one's approach to the piano, to rhythm, to harmony and a bunch of other similarly elusive elements. Mills gave it its due measure of attention and I was delighted.
She then played three Preludes by Ruth Crawford, one of my heroines. Fantastically difficult works, wild in every respect. I was suitably impressed.
These were followed by some "Picturesque Pieces" by Chabrier which I had never heard before. Beautifully played, they aroused my curiosity to look these works up for myself. A better result one cannot ask for.
Look her up at www.margaretmills.com. An interesting woman.

Takw a class on Jewish holidays to learn more. You will enjoy this free class offered by the SF JCC. There are many classes to choose from and the JCC is easy to get to get to. Home » Adult » Adult Classes » Jewish Culture & Thought » Advanced Modern Israeli Holidays for Beginners (AMIHFB)
The Jewish national calendar of Israel is populated by new holidays that Israel has placed at the center of our national and Jewish consciousness and which define and set aside the most significant time of the year in Israeli society. These holidays – bunched together within one week – are Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Memorial Day), Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers) and Yom Haatzmaut (Independence Day). It would not be an exaggeration to say these three days together constitute the "High Holidays" season of Israeli life. To understand the kind of emotional response this dramatic week provokes, we will read some of the songs and poems that are traditionally sung and recited at public memorials and celebrations in Israel.
With Rabbi Zac Kamenetz
Zac wants to know 'What good can I do in this world? What have folks before me tried?' Most often, Zac looks to ancient Jewish sources of wisdom for inspiration to these questions, but he gets some help from Leonard Cohen, Mark Rothko, and his wife Jen, too. Zac received rabbinic ordination in Jerusalem, and has degrees from the University of Maryland and the Graduate Theological Union. As a native of a couple of coastal states, Zac is always ready to jump in the ocean. When you see him around the JCCSF, you should tell him about the last best bite of food you had.

Ordering a Bowl of Noodle in Thailand.
How to order a bowl of noodle soup in Thailand.
Things to know before you order.
The Soup
In Thailand we usually have clear soup and dark soup. Clear soup mostly made from boiling vegetables and pork or chicken. Dark soup can vary from beef, spices, pork, and chicken.
If you want something mild and light you should go for the clear soup noodle, in the other hand, if you want flavorful heavy taste then dark soup should be the one.
The noodle
Rice noodles or egg noodles. Well, egg noodle will be yellow in color and rice noodle will be white.
For egg noodles, we call it "Ba-Mhee".
For rice noodles, we call it by their sizes.
0.5-1 inch wide is "Sen-Yai"
0.3-0.5 cm wide is "Sen-Lek"
1 mm wide is "Sen-Mhee"
There are varius kinds of noodle soup shop, most of the time, you can tell what kind of meat they are putting as topping for your noodle soup by looking at the color of the meat ball. If they are white then they're fishballs, light gray = pork, dark gray = beef.
When ordering
Just tell the seller the name of the noodles and then follow with "Nam" or "Hang" (with soup = "Nam, without soup = "Hang")
If you want a larger amount of noodle and stuff add the word " Phi-Sade"
Ba-Mhee Nam = egg noodle with whatever soup they are selling.
Sen-Yai Hang Phi-Sade = a larger amount of noodle(0.5-1 inch wide) without soup
What are those things they put in your noodle soup?
Generally, they will put peanuts, sometimes chilli, bean sprouts, morning glory, some meatballs, some meat, a little fried garlic, a few celantro, and spring onion.
