Hosted Private Clouds have become a popular option for users that want to consume OpenStack cloud infrastructure without the responsibility for designing, deploying or operating it. In response to this trend, the OpenStack® Foundation today expanded its popular OpenStack Marketplace vendor comparison site with a new Hosted Private Cloud category.
One of the biggest advantages for OpenStack users is that there are many ways to consume the software, whether on-premise, in a service provider's data center or as a hybrid model. The OpenStack Marketplace was launched in May to give OpenStack users an open and transparent means to evaluate the full spectrum of OpenStack deployment options. The new Hosted Private Cloud category joins Training, Consulting Services, Distributions & Appliances, Public Clouds and Drivers, so users can easily find and compare products that best meet their business requirements.
The new Hosted Private Cloud Marketplace category includes detailed information about offerings from Aptira, AURO, Blue Box, IBM, DataCentred, Metacloud, Mirantis, Morphlabs, Rackspace and UnitedStack. All products and services must meet specific technical requirements and be transparent with product information, such as OpenStack versions and capabilities supported.
The number of OpenStack Hosted Private Cloud deployments has grown by 2.3x in the past year, based on the most recent OpenStack User Survey. It's an attractive OpenStack deployment model for several reasons:
- Low barrier to entry with little to no upfront capital expenditure
- Deployment speeds that are comparable to public cloud provisioning
- Control over physical infrastructure location, isolated hardware, and policies to meet data sovereignty and security requirements
- Minimal responsibility for operating the physical infrastructure and operational aspects such as cloud software upgrades, driver updates, scale out management, etc.
According to Forrester Research: "...the top reported drivers for cloud adoption among enterprise hardware decision-makers using or planning to use hosted private cloud included lowering total cost of ownership (TCO), improved manageability of resources, on-demand capacity, and improved disaster recovery." (Forrester Research, Inc., Adoption Profile: Hosted Private Cloud, North America And Europe, Q3 2013, March 2014)
If your company is interested in being part of the OpenStack Marketplace, please contact [email protected].
Supporting Quotes
"In the Software-Defined Economy, businesses face constant pressure to move faster and are focused on adding value through rapid app development. That's why we've seen so much traction for OpenStack in the Hosted Private Cloud market, and are now adding the new Marketplace category to help companies quickly identify which vendors are offering this new path to OpenStack-powered, fully managed infrastructure."
Mark Collier
OpenStack Foundation
"Blue Box has been a valued partner in our work to transform child welfare case management with responsive, Web 2.0 technology. When they introduced Blue Box Cloud we saw it as a chance to move to a hosted private cloud platform where we could take advantage of the flexibility of OpenStack without having to manage the physical infrastructure."

"Hosted private clouds powered by OpenStack combine the ease of use typically seen in traditional IaaS offerings, with the flexibility and control you get with a private cloud. Mirantis OpenStack Express, a hosted version of Mirantis' OpenStack distribution, saved my team significant time, and freed resources to focus on the application components, rather than OpenStack itself."

"Rock You Inc has been extremely happy with the flexibility and performance we've seen from our Rackspace OpenStack hosted private cloud. Being able to fully control the number and type of VM instances on each physical server gives us the confidence we need to run VMs with high CPU or memory requirements without incident. The OpenStack tool set has made expansion and management of our hundreds of instances extremely easy."

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

The Domain Name Service (DNS) is one of the most important components in networking infrastructure, enabling users and services to access applications by translating URLs (names) into IP addresses (numbers). Because every icon and URL and all embedded content on a website requires a DNS lookup loading complex sites necessitates hundreds of DNS queries. In addition, as more internet-enabled 'Things' get connected, people will rely on DNS to name and find their fridges, toasters and toilets.

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade.

As the mayor of Hamilton, I want to express to your readers our city's gratitude for the support we received from every part of Canada from the time we learned of the death of our resident, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo.
'The wrong person died' David Ristow was laying next to his partner when she was shot and killed. He survived the bullet but the mental scars remain. First he bought the booze. It was a bottle of Bacardi white rum. After downing it, he went to a Dollar Store and bought a cheap box cutter.

depression controls my life im sick of it taking me over
i am a prisoner of my own self
I have a therapist that I can consult and she knows that I'm an atheist (I've gotten the feeling she is too). I suffer from schizoaffective disorder and also major depression. So far, I've taken Prozac, abilify and Effexor... none have helped. Mostly talking about how I feel helps to an extent. Good luck to you.
If anyone reads this and has steam, please add me. I'd love to talk to some other people. http://steamcommunity.com/id/SOLDIER1ST/
It sucks having major depression and getting no help. When I try to get support from most my friends those people don't understand what it's like. They live good lives; I don't.
Belle, I called it clinical depression because it required medical and psychological help. I don't think "major depression" was a term I heard back then, which would be about 25 years ago.
I just posted the differences in a post above. I even start to glaze over when the Dr tries to explain it to me.
Belle Rose, What used to be called clinical depression is now called major depression. They are the same, although there was, and is, many different types of this disease.

Hospitals Take Leap on Prevention posted on 10/30/14
by Carol Gentry | Health News Florida
Nearly half of Florida hospitals have earned an "A" on error prevention in a new report card from a business-backed group concerned about patient safety.
The ratings from The Leapfrog Group, released today, show Florida fifth among the states on its safety scores (see all state scores). No Florida hospitals flunked, and just three scored a D (see Florida scores).
The most-improved hospital on the Leapfrog list is Brandon Regional Medical Center, which jumped from a D to an A grade in just six months. The suburban Tampa facility is part of the HCA Healthcare chain, as are three of the four hospitals that jumped from Cs to As over the same time.
The HCA hospitals that jumped two letter grades to an A were all in Tampa Bay: South Bay Hospital in Sun City Center, Northside Hospital in St. Petersburg, and Doctors Hospital of Sarasota.
The good news was not entirely a surprise, said Dr. Larry Feinman, chief medical officer for HCA's 16-hospital Western Florida Division.
"Our company and our division and our facilities have been embarking on significant work with clinical excellence initiatives that really have improved the quality at all our hospitals," he said in an interview. "You're seeing the result of that."
Florida governor defends order on Ebola monitoring posted on 10/27/14
by AP
WELLINGTON, Fla. — Gov. Rick Scott defended his decision to monitor anyone coming from Ebola-affected countries, saying Monday it's "the right thing to do" to protect Floridians.
Appearing beside New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at a campaign event in Wellington, Scott said his executive order would ensure that the state wards off an outbreak and goes beyond actions by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"I want to make sure that ... we don't do what CDC did — they got behind," he said. "We're not going to get behind. We're going to be prepared."
Scott's weekend order gives state health officials authority to do twice-daily monitoring of individuals arriving from places the CDC designates as affected by Ebola.
"We've got 19.6 million people living in this state. I want them to be safe," Scott said. "I want the 100 million tourists that we get here to be safe. I want all of our health care workers, our first responders to be safe. If you go to a Ebola-infected area when you come back you ought to be monitored by the Department of Health. It's the right thing to do."
CDC to Talk Ebola with Florida Hospitals posted on 10/20/14
by AP
Officials from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will hold a conference call today on Ebola preparedness and training with Florida hospitals.
Gov. Rick Scott said Saturday that the call scheduled Monday afternoon will provide guidance for proper use of personal protective equipment, safe handling of medical waste and effective clinical strategies within hospitals.
Late Friday, the CDC approved a request from state health officials to redirect $7 million from federal grants to buy full body suits for health care workers who may have contact with any potential victims of the virus.
Scott, who is in a tight race for re-election against former Gov. Charlie Crist, has been critical of the CDC's response and has repeatedly stressed measures he's taking to prevent a possible crisis in Florida.
Report: 200,000 Payments From Med Tech and Pharma Companies To Florida Docs, Hospitals posted on 10/1/14
by Lynn Hatter | WFSU
The federal government has released an initial list of physicians and teaching hospitals across the county that have gotten payments from the medical industry. But federal officials say the data comes with some caveats.
Payments made to Florida doctors from medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies range from a penny, to a single $1.3 million transaction to a Miami physician. According to the federal data companies made more than 200,000 transactions to Florida doctors and teaching hospitals between August and December of last year. Nationwide, payments topped $3.5 billion to 546,000 physicians and 1,360 teaching hospitals. The price tag is expected to grow when the government starts doing a yearly analysis. The federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services says the information doesn't necessarily mean there's wrongdoing.
"While the data could discourage payments and other transactional value that might have an inappropriate influence on research, education or clinical decision making, they could also help identify relationships that lead to the development of beneficial new technologies or medications," says Deputy Administrator and Director of the Center for Program Integrity Shantanu Agrawal.
About 40 percent of the transactions don't have any identifying information.
Physician groups say the data doesn't give consumers enough information about what and why doctors are paid, and claim physicians didn't have enough time to review the data.
Tougher Compounding Rules Finally Law posted on 9/30/14
by MARY SHEDDEN | Health News Florida
Stricter regulations in the state's compounding pharmacy industry take effect Wednesday -- two years after a national outbreak of fungal meningitis killed 64 people, including seven in Florida.
In 2012, when the New England Compounding Center outbreak happened, the state had hundreds of unregulated, non-resident facilities providing these specialized medications to Floridians. Now, the state will require permits for any pharmacies outside state boundaries that want to ship medications in state.
Efforts to tighten oversight over compounding pharmacies started soon after contamination drugs were discovered in 2012, and state officials found more than two dozen of the 751 people infected by tainted steroid injections lived in Florida.
Eight clinics, in Ocala, Pensacola, Miami, Palm Beach Gardens and Orlando, received lots of the contaminated drug, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention investigation. A total of 25 Floridians were infected and sickened, seven of whom died.

Fully Restored "Back to the Future" Delorean Now On Display (video)
BTTF, or "Back to the Future" is an iconic movie of the 80s. If you haven't seen it, stop reading this post and go rent/steal/download it. Once you have witnessed one of the greatest filmes of the 20th century you'll probably want to go see this: the actual BTTF Delorean. It has now been restored to its full and original build, complete with a flux capacitor, wiring and displays. And while it won't tranport you to a time before, it will provide some adequate nostalgia that probably justifies the cost of entry into Universal's park.

Photographer unknown. From the Willard Gallery Archives. Collection of Kenkeleba House. Art © The Estate of Norman W. Lewis, Courtesy of Iandor Fine Arts, New Jersey
Look! It's a white female artist! And, an African-American male artist! And, their art has something in common!
At face value, the painters Lee Krasner (1908-1984) and Norman Lewis (1909-1979) share more than their paintings suggest. This fact is practically shouted by The Jewish Museum's current exhibition, "From the Margins: Lee Krasner and Norman Lewis, 1945-1952," on view until February 1, 2015. Bringing Krasner and Lewis from the fringes to the foreground produces a liberal parallel of exploration, experimentation and expression.
The recognition of these two painters who contributed to Abstract Expressionism is paramount, since Krasner and Lewis were once overlooked figures. But the way in which they are presented counterbalances the problem of marginalization. As the Museum's didactic exhibition broadens the understanding of each artist's development and artistic process, the wall text will not let you forget that you are gazing at a painting made by a woman or by an African American. The show opens with two self-portraits that not only show both artists' colorful palettes, but also the identity of the sitter, as if to say: Look! Neither painter is a white, male artist.
The visual language of both artists is examined chronologically through the exhibition's four sections: "From the Margins," "Influence and Experiment," "The Language of Painting" and "Evolution." The paintings by Lewis, for the most part, are made up of softer hues and matted surfaces. In contrast, Krasner's bright pigments shine and the canvases glow in the gallery.
The concept behind genizot is simple. These spaces, usually housed in synagogues, would store disused documents that contained the written name of God — and thus couldn't be discarded.
But genizot also symbolize remembering. And that's what Canadian artist Bernice Eisenstein so brilliantly explores in "Genizot: Repositories of Memory," her new exhibition at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto.
For Eisenstein, now artist-in-residence at Toronto's Sarah and Chaim Neuberger Holocaust Education Center, genizot become a launch pad to plumb the prismatic complexity of memory, whether personal, historical, literary, religious, or some combination thereof.
At first glance, "Genizot" seems like a loose assemblage of work. Eisenstein pairs her black-and-white portraits of figures like Antoine de St.-Exupery and Marcel Proust with elliptical text treatments; a glass display case houses casually arranged found objects. But as with all of Eisenstein's work, there's a compelling internal logic that unites the project into a powerful statement about memory, its weight, and its fluidity.
Memory is a favorite subject of Eisenstein, who created last year's acclaimed "Correspondences" with Anne Michaels, and is the author of the award-winning graphic novel "I Was a Child of Holocaust Survivors."
"Genizot" was created for Holocaust Education Week in October, but the project will run through February 8, 2015 (Eisenstein is also one of the artists in "Graphic Details: Confessional Comics by Jewish Women," which I co-curated and The Forward sponsored.)
"I'm not didactic," Eisenstein told the Forward from Toronto. "I want whoever sees "Genizot" to engage in it however their own memory works."
At Sukkot, as we build or assemble and decorate our temporary shelters in the backyard, we might complain about the chilly weather or having hammered our thumbs or the rising cost of etrogim. One Toronto organization is using the opportunity to draw community attention to a much more serious problem: homelessness. Kehilla, a community organization devoted to serving Jewish household experiencing a gap between their housing costs and what their families can afford, presented the 4th annual Sukkahville art show and competition this year to raise money (and awareness) around homelessness.
For the competition, Sukkahville solicits artist and architect proposals from across the world, requiring that the structures be built in accordance with Jewish laws that govern sukkah construction — they must provide shade in the daytime but be open to the sky, the roof must be made of natural materials that grow in the soil like leaves and branches, and the structure must provide some shelter from the elements. Beyond the traditional strictures (overseen by a Toronto rabbi) and a few practical matters, designs are beautiful and wild, opening the senses to the beauty and possibility of a sukkah that dazzles. Eight finalists are chosen from the designs submitted, and those sukkot are the ones exhibited during Sukkahville.

In the Talmudic legend called "Four Entered the Orchard," a quartet of wise men who explore Jewish mysticism meet severe ends: One dies, one loses his mind, and one forsakes Jewish tenets altogether. Only one leaves intact.
Here's hoping that the artists in "Pardes," a new exhibition at Toronto's Koffler Centre of the Arts, meet gentler fates. Inspired by the ancient tale, the exhibition "brings together four Israeli sound and multimedia artists to investigate notions of mysticism, heresy and the occult from secular perspectives, as they relate to contemporary society," according to Mona Filip, the Koffler's director.
The Talmudic story "becomes an overarching metaphor and theme of research for the show," Filip said.
Pardes is also "a metaphor for the transcendent," according to Toronto-based curator Liora Belford, who organized the exhibition. "Where traditional transcendent and institutionalized religions are waning, alternative forms of non-physical yet non-transcendent 'spirituality' are emerging."
"Having lived in Israel, where religion is a significant part of everyday culture, I often wonder about the impact of mysticism and tradition on contemporary secular life," Belford told the Forward. "Even from an atheist perspective, I find interesting correlations between religious experience and the experience of a work of art, both in its creation and reception."

Journalist Jeanne Beker has shaped fashion as much as the designers she's covered. As longtime host of Canada's much-missed Fashion Television, her zingy runway reports and designer interviews aired in more than 130 countries; she still hosts a spinoff on a Canadian cable channel, and has opined on fashion for The Toronto Star. Now, she's added "curator" to her resume. "Politics of Fashion | Fashion of Politics," which she guest-curated, opens at Toronto's Design Exchange museum this week; it's a provocative look at fashion "as a mirror of society by highlighting how clothing has been used as a tool for communicating identity and political expression."
With 200 pieces, from PETA t-shirts to Stella McCartney's 2000 plastic-and-glass jacket to historic pieces from '60s icons Rudi Gernreich and Mary Quant, the exhibition is a provocative look at subversive clothing at a volatile time in history. Beker herself carries an especially keen sense of personal politics to the show; she's the daughter of Holocaust survivors who immigrated to Toronto in 1948. Educated at Toronto's Talmud Torah Jewish schools, Beker's a mainstay on the Jewish-giving circuit, most recently as producer of a fashion-show benefit for Zareinu, a school for children with severe developmental issues. The Forward caught up with her from her Toronto home.
Michael Kaminer: The exhibition's called "Politics of Fashion | Fashion of Politics." How much of the political content in fashion is part of someone's agenda, versus an accident or subconscious expression?
Jeanne Beker: That's exactly what's at the crux of the show. It is deliberate. I've worked with and interviewed designers, and covered their collections, for nearly three decades. I've met many who wanted to say more through their garments than just a perfect design or something that makes a woman look sexy. A lot of designers have a point of view, and want to enlighten people. It's the power of fashion to communicate all kinds of ideas. Those can come from political beliefs and convictions. Those are the types of garments we're featuring.
But some controversial collections, like Jean-Paul Gaultier's infamous 1993 take on Orthodox garb, didn't make the cut.

Long before Occupy Wall Street, protests were held from 12:30 to 12:45 p.m. every day from December 10, 1970, until January 27, 1991, in front of the Soviet embassy in Washington, D.C., in an effort to raise awareness about the mistreatment of Soviet Jews. Those demonstrations, held rain or shine — including through muggy District summers — are the subject of the exhibit "Voices of the Vigil: D.C.'s Soviet Jewry Movement," which is on view at the Jewish Community Center of Greater Washington in Rockville, Md., until October 19.
"Washington Jews organized rallies and marches, waged letter-writing campaigns to pressure politicians, sent packages and Rosh Hashanah greeting cards to refuseniks, and visited Jews in the Soviet Union," according to the exhibit website.
Some gems from the exhibit include photographs of the actor Theodore Bikel speaking at the September 1965 Eternal Light Vigil on the National Mall (he shares the stage with a man holding a twisted shofar); of 3-year-old David Sislen burying his face in tears in his mom Bonnie's coat after a police officer removed the placard from his sign, which violated a rule prohibiting any signs within 500 feet of an embassy; and a youthful Senator John Kerry marching, arms locked, with colleagues and with Avital Sharansky en route to the Soviet Embassy demanding Natan Sharansky's release.
Naomi Safran-Hon, 'Wadi Salib: Living Room with 4 Windows,' 2013
Art is a language of its own, and Naomi Safran-Hon is redefining its words. "Hard Times: Paintings," is a small solo exhibition of the Israeli artist's most recent work currently on display at Slag Gallery in Brooklyn. The gallery explores the evolution of mediums (Slag is a recyclable waste product in metal smelting) and celebrates the way Safran-Hon utilizes unconventional materials such as concrete, sequins and lace in order to transform worthless objects into meaningful pictures.
When the artist returned to her hometown of Haifa in Israel, she photographed abandoned interiors. While Safran-Hon does not suggest a particular political agenda, her canvases present a multitude of questions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The gallery explains that the depicted spaces "have been abandoned for the past half-century following a mass Palestinian exodus — a migration whose causes and effects differ depending on the historical narrative to which one subscribes."

"To be an artist you need talent and you haven't got it," the young Abram Games was told by his headteacher, advising him to pursue a career as a bank clerk instead. Regardless, with what appears to be characteristic tenacity, sheer hard work and obvious talent, Games went on to become one of the most influential British designers of the 20th century.
"Designing the 20th Century," a major new exhibition at the Jewish Museum London, marks the centenary of his birth, and celebrates Games's life and art. The show successfully juxtaposes the professional and the personal elements of Games's life, and visitors will leave having gained a significant insight into Games's creative output and character.
Games was an exponent of the poster, particularly those produced during the Second World War. His 60-year career also included stamps and emblems, as well as product design.
The son of Eastern European immigrants, Games grew up in London's East End, often assisting his father, who was a professional photographer. He attended art school for just two terms before deciding to build his own portfolio, establishing himself as a freelance designer. The exhibition displays many of his iconic works, as well as personal objects and a re-creation of his north London studio, which was attached to the family's Golders Green home.

When September's Chicago magazine tipped Assaf Evron as one of "four rising artists worth investing in," it was the first many in the Windy City had heard of the Israeli-born creator.
But Evron has long been a name to watch among the cognoscenti. In Israel, his work is in permanent collections of the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, the Haifa Museum of Art and the Petach Tikva Museum of Art. In Chicago, where he's lived since 2011, he's got work in two major area shows. A group show at the Little Wolf, WI venue Poor Farm includes his photographic installation based on infrared kinect sensor light; at Chicago's Museum of Contemporary Photography, the show "Phantoms in the Dirt" showcases his repurposed photos of 1930s French colonial settlements. A November group show at the Haifa Museum of Art is next.
Evron's sculptures and photographs "play with perception, often distorting everyday objects into abstract images," Chicago magazine wrote. "His work consists of things we can't easily see or decipher," a local curator told the magazine. "It's smart and subtle and appealingly enigmatic. It lingers with you."
One-half of an art-world power couple, the 37-year-old Evron is married to acclaimed Israeli artist Nelly Agassi, who late last year had her own exhibition of video works at the Israel Museum in Jerusalem. Evron spoke to the Forward from their home in the Chicago neighborhood of Wicker Park.
Michael Kaminer: You've got an unusual background for an artist. How did your studies at the Cohn Institute for the History and Philosophy of Science and Ideas at Tel Aviv University influence your work?
Among the more than 200 items which are slated to appear in the Library of Congress exhibit "The Civil Rights Act of 1964: A Long Struggle for Freedom" in Washington, D.C. — which will be on view until September 12, 2015 — are documents written by civil rights leaders, newspaper clippings, legal briefs and artwork.
According to a library release it constitutes "some of the most important materials in [its] collection," and it "will highlight the legal and legislative challenges and victories leading to its [Civil Rights'] passage, shedding light on the individuals — both prominent leaders and private citizens — who participated in the decades-long campaign for equality."
What there won't be are troves of artifacts tying Jewish activists to the struggle for civil rights. "It's not a show that specifically deals with the role of Jews in the Civil Rights movement," said Betsy Nahum-Miller, one of three directors of the exhibit. But, she added, Jewish elements exist.
Nahum-Miller thought right away of Arthur Spingarn, the Jewish civil rights activist who is profiled in the exhibit. A photograph of Spingarn, who held leadership roles at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, addresses the early days of the organization. And upon further reflection, other connections surfaced.

The hazy images take up just one small corner of a massive new exhibition on revered Canadian artist Alex Colville at the Art Gallery of Ontario in Toronto.
But his depictions of corpses at Bergen-Belsen, where a young Colville was dispatched to document World War II atrocities, hold the key to understanding the artist's worldview and work.
"Seeing that really marked Colville for the rest of his life," Andrew Hunter, the AGO's curator of Canadian art, told the Forward. "More than just seeing war, what he saw at Belsen really cast a shadow over his view of the world and of what people are capable of doing."
The experience also shaped the signatures that came to define Colville's painting, said Hunter, who curated the exhibition. "He thought a lot about the chaos that lies under the surface of order," Hunter said. "It sounds simple, but those who ran the camps did it in a way that was very structured. On the surface, it was all highly rational. He was conscious of how order could also lead to great evil."
In Colville's iconic 1967 painting "Pacific," a shirtless man, visible from the back, stares at the ocean while a gun rests on an old sewing table in the foreground. The gun, Hunter explained, represents the possibility of chaos; the ruler built into the sewing table presents a symbol of order.
"I live. Send help."
With that hopeful but heartbreaking dispatch, a survivor named Luba Mizne implored the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee for rescue amid the devastation of 1945 Warsaw.
Now, her original telegram is one of more than 100 artifacts in "I Live. Send Help," a moving exhibition at the New York Historical Society that marks the centennial of the JDC, which calls itself "the world's leading Jewish humanitarian organization" and today operates in more than 70 countries.
The exhibition pulls from the JDC's massive archives, which includes three miles of documents, more than 100,000 photos, and hundreds of items. An astonishing range of objects, from a bar of soap given to Bergen-Belsen survivors at a DP camp to a child's dress distributed at Ellis Island in 1949 to a letter urging passage for a rescue caravan out of Sarajevo in 1992, makes the show much more than an academic exercise.
"Our archive is one of the most important repositories of modern Jewish history in the world," said Linda Levi, the director of the JDC's global archives and a curator of the exhibition. "Given the significance of our work over the last century, it seemed fitting to have an exhibition at a major institution."

Walking through the many rooms in the National Gallery of Art's exhibit "Garry Winogrand" (through June 8), I was surprised to see several groups of transfixed boys. Winogrand, after all, was born in 1928 and died more than 20 years ago; he had an ingenious eye for interpreting urban street scenes and the pedestrians that passed through them, but his work has nothing to do with Instagram or iPhones. Why, I wondered, were these young boys so interested in black-and-white photographs from the 1970s?
When I crossed over the room toward the boys, I realized they were gawking at some of the photographs from Winogrand's 1975 series of 85 works: "Women Are Beautiful." The images showed women in various stages of undress. "Whenever I've seen an attractive woman, I've done my best to photograph her," Winogrand wrote of the series. "I don't know if all the women in the photographs are beautiful, but I do know that the women are beautiful in the photographs."
Winogrand's program of photographing beautiful women has been controversial. The photographer, born to Jewish parents who left Budapest and Warsaw for the Bronx, is "routinely criticized for exploiting the subjects of his work," according to the website of the Worcester Art Museum, which showed works from the series in 2013. The photographs of the young women in the series are "typically composed to emphasize their breasts and backsides," the site adds.
"Life and Art Through Stained Glass," a new exhibit at the Ben Uri Gallery in London, examines the artistic career of architect, painter, designer and stained glass innovator Roman Halter (1927-2012). A survivor of the Holocaust, Halter channeled much of his creativity into narrating the horrors of that experience. It was essential to him that the truth was shared, especially with younger generations.
This current exhibition is a celebration of a remarkable man who, despite the darkest of childhoods, was "devoted to the design of pure color and light," said curator Thomas Hughes. In featuring over 70 works, Ben Uri has successfully managed to portray the range, depth and skill of Halter's extensive oeuvre.
Born in Chodecz, a small village in western Poland, Halter was the only member of his immediate family to survive the Lodz ghetto. After its liquidation in 1944, he was one of the metal workers selected for slave labor, but instead was transferred to Auschwitz. He was later moved to Dresden via the Stutthoff concentration camp and after the RAF raids in 1945, Halter escaped and returned to a deserted Chodecz.
In 1945 Halter came to London where he became an architect, establishing practices in London and Cambridge. In 1973 he moved to Israel where, using his architectural skills within a design context, he was commissioned to design and construct the main gate to Yad Vashem. On his return to London in 1976 he decided to become a full-time artist.
A Hanukkah lamp that was recently given to the Jewish Historical Museum in Amsterdam may have one of the most compelling provenances of any Jewish ritual object.
The lamp was created by a Christian (Dutch Reformed) silversmith, Harmanus Nieuwenhuys, for the Dutch Jewish community in 1751 — when Jews were still barred from guilds. (Harmanus' son Hendrik also created ritual objects for Jewish patrons.)
By all accounts, it appears to have gotten a good deal of use, and a condition report from the museum identifies the object as "good (dent in back)." In 1907 Queen Wilhelmina (1880-1962) of the Kingdom of the Netherlands bought the lamp at auction and gave it as an Easter gift to her mother, Queen Emma (1858-1934).
Staff at the Jewish Historical Museum may have learned of the lamp's existence following its inclusion in 1965 in the book "History of Dutch Silver," according to Irene Faber, the head of collections at the museum. The lamp was given on short-term loan to the museum at some point in the 1980s, she adds. "We do not know what the occasion was, probably an exhibition on ceremonial objects or about history of the Jews in Holland."
And now, the lamp, which this reporter recently viewed in a museum back room, has found its way to the Jewish community again through Christian hands.
(Reuters) — German artist Anselm Kiefer, many of whose huge canvases examine the legacy of the Third Reich, attributes much of his success to Jewish collectors in New York who latched onto his art early in his career when his fellow Germans were not all that interested.
Kiefer spoke on Tuesday at London's Royal Academy of Arts, which will mount the first British retrospective of the 69-year-old artist's work in an exhibition opening at the end of September.
"These were the first big collectors, who admired and made my career, it wasn't in Germany," Kiefer said at a news conference to announce the works that will be in the exhibition.
They include art from private collections and some of the world's most prestigious museums.
Among them are canvases Kiefer painted in the early years of his career looking at the legacy of the Third Reich, including his paintings of spaces designed by Hitler's favorite architect, Albert Speer.
Others are paintings of Kiefer himself in his Occupations and Heroic Symbols series of the late 1960s and early 1970s which show him re-enacting the Nazi salute in locations across Europe.
During the early stages of the First World War, Yiddish recruitment posters, published by the Joint Labour Recruiting Committee, were displayed in London's East End. They appealed to Jewish youth, "to do their duty to the country."
In England there are thousands of Jews who should be grateful to it for their freedom and justice … and in general they have been accepted here, free from racial prejudice and racial hatred. We, who have many times raised our voice for the welfare of the Jews, ask them now to demonstrate that we were justified in saying what we did.
The poster is one of the many exhibits in "For King and Country?," a new exhibition that opened earlier this week at London's Jewish Museum, in partnership with the Jewish Military Museum. It explores the British Jewish experience of the First World War and includes oral histories, memorabilia, letters, embroidered postcards, sepia coloured photographs as well as personal artefacts like identity tags, symbolic silk handkerchiefs and uniforms.
Did you hear the one about the old Jewish comedians who got hung on the wall?
Seriously, a new show at the Society of Illustrators gallery in Manhattan is showcasing original paintings from Drew Friedman's cult trilogy "Old Jewish Comedians" (Fantagraphics), along with a trove of memorabilia from Friedman's own collection.
Spread across two floors, the 110 nightmarishly funny illustrations also include Friedman's warts-and-all illustrations for media outlets like The New York Observer, and a terrifying Woody Allen portrait for "He Said/She Said," a 1996 comic book about the director's split from Mia Farrow.
Friedman attended New York's School of Visual Arts from 1978 to 1981, where he studied under legendary comics masters like Will Eisner, Harvey Kurtzman, Edward Sorel, Stan Mack and Arnold Roth, as his bio explains. He launched his career in the 1980s writing and illustrating what he calls "morbid alternative comics," often collaborating with his brother, writer Josh Alan Friedman. He's gone mainstream since then, supplying illustrations to everyone from The New York Times to Esquire to The New Republic.
It's hard to pinpoint exactly why the old comedians have struck such a chord. "The subject of humor speaks to everyone, and the cultural aspect of Yiddish theater and comedy has huge appeal," says Anelle Miller, the Society of Illustrators' executive director. "But I'd also rank Drew with people like Ed Sorel, who did this great satirical work while continuing his illustration practice."
The Forward caught up with Friedman a week after the show's opening, where he mugged for photos with OJC subjects like Robert Klein and Abe Vigoda — and future OJCs like Gilbert Gottfried.
Last month, while researching an article for The Forward about Indian Jewish cuisine, I spent the afternoon in Montclair, New Jersey with Siona Benjamin. A home cook who grew up in Mumbai's Jewish community, Benjamin demonstrated how to prepare a traditional Shabbat coconut curry and a sweet rice and coconut dish called malida that Indian Jews make in honor of the Prophet Elijah. But, as often happens when I cook in other people's kitchens, I learned about much more than food.
Benjamin's home is filled with art — specifically her own technicolor paintings and multimedia pieces, which weave together Jewish and Indian images. A classically trained artist (she has two MFAs in painting and theater set design), who is inspired by "traditional styles of painting, like Indian/Persian miniatures, Byzantine icons, and Jewish and Christian illuminated manuscripts," her work has been exhibited across the United States, Europe and Asia.
In 2011, Benjamin traveled to India on a Fulbright scholarship to interview, photograph, and document the lives of more than 70 of Mumbai's remaining 5,000 Jews. Back at home, she transformed these stories into a stunning collection of oversized photo collage paintings called "FACES: Weaving Indian Jewish Narratives."
Toronto isn't the first place that comes to mind when you think of Pharrell Williams, the peripatetic Grammy winner and Daft Punk collaborator.
But this spring, Williams' name adorns the marquee of the city's Design Exchange museum. And it's Shauna Levy, the museum's new director, who's responsible for the coup.
"THIS IS NOT A TOY," a blockbuster show of toys as art, includes work from Williams' personal collection, and from artists around the world who blur art, design and street culture. The exhibit, whose centerpiece is a $3 million, diamond-encrusted sculpture by Japan's Takashi Murakami, is Levy's latest swipe at clearing the dust from what had been an esoteric gallery with a wonky reputation; last year, she shook up the staid DX with a retrospective of French shoe guru Christian Louboutin.
A Montreal native, Levy founded Toronto's popular Interior Design Show, which she sold to Chicago's Merchandise Mart Properties in 2012. "I started to feel restless for a great big new challenge," she told the Forward from Toronto. "Days after I acknowledged this to myself, I was contacted by a recruiter on behalf of the Design Exchange board. There is something to be said for putting it out there."
Michael Kaminer: You've scored big with Pharrell Williams as guest curator for "This Is Not a Toy." How did you get him?

DEFINITION of 'Agency MBS Purchase'
The purchase of mortgage-backed securities issued by government-sponsored enterprises such as Ginnie Mae, Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. The term is most commonly used to refer to the U.S. Federal Reserve's $1.25 trillion program to purchase agency mortgage-backed securities, which commenced on Jan. 5, 2009 and was completed on Mar. 31, 2010.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Agency MBS Purchase'
The goal of the Federal Reserve's $1.25 trillion agency MBS purchase program was to provide support to mortgage and housing markets, and also to foster improved conditions in financial markets. When the Federal Reserve commenced these purchases in January 2009, the U.S. and global equity markets were trading at multi-year lows amid an intense credit crunch, and widespread concern about the global economy heading for a depression.
The MBS purchase program was instrumental in providing price support to these securities and dissipating the panic that had gripped many market participants. By the time the Federal Reserve completed the purchase program in March 2010, the S&P 500 had appreciated more than 75% from its March 2009 low and global equity markets had been in full rally mode for over a year, perhaps exceeding the Fed's most optimistic expectations.

Goal: While much research has been done to document the relationship between access to firearms and rates of violence, there is a great need for further research on the effectiveness of specific policies to prevent gun violence. The National Violent Death Reporting System is one promising data source, collecting detailed information on the circumstances of all violent deaths for use by researchers and others committed to the prevention of violence. By promoting the use and expansion of NVDRS, and supporting critical research on policies to prevent gun violence, we can help ensure that public policies are data-driven and evidence-based.
Theory of Change: Access to data and sound research on gun violence are critical to the development of effective public policies to reduce firearm injuries and deaths.
Citing new statistics that police gun deaths have increased 64% since last year, law enforcement calls for background checks for every gun purchase.
Ellen Alberding encourages Chicago leaders to make it possible for all voices to be heard in the most powerful way possible.
It is also critical that lawmakers put in place policies that make it more difficult for persons at greatest risk of violence to gain access to a firearm...

5 nights of dining reviews (no pics)
We spent 6 nights at the Poly from 9/22-9/28. Our travel party included myself, DH, DD (2), my mom, step-dad and brother. DD mostly ate off of our plates, so I won't be reviewing the few meals we did purchase for her.
9/23 - La Hacienda
My DH, myself and brother headed here with DD while our parents took off to Le Cellier for their anniversary.
My brother had the Pescado a la Talla. I'm not a fish eater, but he did let DH sample and both agreed it was amazing.
DH had the Puerco en Salsa de Mole Negro. I'm normally not a pork fan, but this tenderloin was so wonderfully cooked I wanted more than just the bite DH offered.
I had the Pollo al Pastor. They could have brought me multiple plates of this because it was just that good.
Overall, I would give La Hacienda an 8/10. Service was a bit slow, especially when it came time for the bill. They were great when we ran into a problem with the charging feature on my brother's KTTW card.
9/24 - Jiko
My parents and brother took DD for the evening so DH and I could enjoy a date night. I was so excited to head to Jiko. The bread the bring to the table when you are first seated is so wonderful. I've been searching for the recipe, but haven't had any luck finding it yet.
DH had the West African Braised Beef Short Rib. He said it was to die for. I didn't even get the chance to ask for a bite before it was all gone. For dessert, he had the black forest cake. It was good, but wasn't quite sweet enough for me.
I had the Oak-Grilled Filet Mignon. One of the best steaks I've ever eaten. I'm not sure exactly what kind of rub they used, but it was perfect. The quinoa was also excellent. For dessert I had the Madagascar Vanilla Cheesecake. It was also great. I really prefer a simple cheesecake, and this fit the bill.
Overall, I would say 10/10. I would return here, but probably with kids.
9/25 - Crystal Palace
Breakfast with Pooh and Friends! It was standard breakfast buffet fare, but it is one of our favorites. The most important part was that DD loved meeting the characters.
I would rate it 9/10. It's been on our must do list for years. Service can be a bit slow when the get busy.
9/26 - Via Napoli
My brother and step-dad both went for the veal parmesan. My brother is a bit of a foodie, but really enjoyed himself. My step-dad thinks Olive Garden is top quality Italian, so this blew him away. He has already asked to put it on the list for next trip.
My mom ordered the salad. It was a hot day and she wanted something cool and refreshing. She said she really enjoyed it, especially the dressing.
DH ordered the Candele. He said it was so good, he almost wanted to order another instead of dessert.
I ordered the Margherita pizza so I could share with DD. It was good, but didn't blow me away. DD loved it, but what 2 year old doesn't love pizza?
Since there were 5 adults, we ordered one of each of the desserts and asked for extra plates so we could share. There wasn't a single dessert anyone disliked. My favorite was a toss up between the apple cake and the ricotta fritters.
I would give this a 7/10, mostly due to service. Everyone enjoyed their meal, but we constantly had to flag down any server for drink refills, napkins, etc. It took so long to get the bill that I had to take DD outside to her stroller because she was starting to have a melt down from sitting still. I would eat here again, but it's not on my must do list.
9/27 - Ohana Breakfast
Who doesn't like breakfast? Mickey waffles and family style, oh my! We enjoyed our food. Our "cousin" even made it a point to immediately bring DD a waffle, since she was telling everyone she was hungry. Character interaction was slow. Almost painfully slow. Mickey skipped our table for some reason, and it took 20 minutes for them to send him back our way. If it wasn't for DD, I would have just left, but she was dying to see "beach Mickey." Our entire breakfast took almost 3 hours, something that is almost unacceptable with a 2 year old.
I would rate this a 7/10. Good food, but slow characters. Not for the impatient kid.

Great Gatherings
What is a Great Gathering?
If you are new to the school - or even if you are not - you may be asking, "Just what is a Great Gathering, anyway?" A Great Gathering is an event, class, or party you host to bring FSM parents, students, and friends together to socialize AND raise money for the school. Sometimes, people jointly host Great Gatherings with another friend or family.
At the Gala, people sign up to participate in Great Gatherings that interest them and pay a fee to be a part of the gathering. The amount raised from each gathering becomes a donation to the school. At last year's Gala, the money raised from Great Gatherings came to more than $10,000!
Great Gatherings take place in homes, at a park, at school, on a ski slope, or just about anywhere else you can imagine.
2014-15 Great Gatherings
Great Gatherings Signup will be available soon for all 2014-15 GG's. For now, you can sign up for upcoming December Great Gatherings.

Property valuation is the process of valuation of a real property usually its latest market value. Transaction of real estate always requires property valuers because they occur infrequently and every property is unique, especially its location is a key factor in property valuation.
Mostly, the property valuers are certified, licensed and qualified. Property valuers are also known as appraisers or land valuers. And it is considered that property valuer's opinion is based on market value and is of best use of the real property.
Adelaide property valuers can do the following task:
Request a Valuation
Buy a Property
Sell a Property
Invest in Property
Receive Tax Benefits
Estimating the value of real property is usually important in today's world because it can help us in various fields including real estate financing, listing real estate for sale, investment analysis, property insurance and also the taxation of real estate.
Hiring a certified property valuer will always help you in each and every step of property transaction. Property valuers will guide you with experience that which property is worth to make a deal. And he will also make sure to attend all the meetings and perform legal documentation and meet the deadline of the contract.
As we know that two property's will never be alike and comparing two property's is done only to improve our ones and make any improvements if we want to do to get a better and higher value of our property.
Following are the factors which will affect the value of your property:
Condition and age of building.
Location because each and every property make difference in price from neighborhood to neighborhood.
If you change the price of your property at last moment.
The cost of building can be estimated in several ways, including square-foot method where the cost per square foot of a recently built comparable is multiplied by the number of square feet in the subject building. Property valuers are the one who are fully involved in a contract with full determination with single mind. And there is no chance of any fraud if you go with certified and experienced property valuers.
If you want to increase the price of your property before selling it then for this you have to do property valuation. Because after performing property valuation you will come to know the current price of your property in the market. Also you can compare the current property price of yours with other already sold property's price. After calculating that price you will be able to spend money on your property to make it worth by renovating or anything that you want to do with your property to increase its value.

Jacques jurors can be found nearbyApril 18,2013
BURLINGTON — The federal judge presiding over the case of a Vermont man charged in the sexual assault and killing of his 12-year-old niece in 2008 has changed his mind about combing the entire state for prospective jurors in the man's trial.
Judge William Sessions III told lawyers during a pre-trial hearing Tuesday in Burlington he now believes an impartial jury for the trial of Michael Jacques can be picked from a pool of up to 5,000 people in northern Vermont.
"The logistics would be extremely difficult for jurors coming up from Brattleboro. I'm convinced we can summon a jury from 5,000 in the northern part of the state," Sessions said.
Jacques, of Randolph, potentially faces the death penalty.
He has pleaded not guilty to charges that he abducted, sexually assaulted and killed Brooke Bennett.
Jury selection is scheduled to start Sept. 3.
Sessions expressed concern that news coverage of the high-profile case will make picking an unbiased jury difficult, forcing the trial to be moved.
"I thought a jury could be selected in Vermont when I denied the change of venue motion, but I wasn't sure," he said.MORE IN This Just InBARRE The mid-November deadline has passed and the resumes are all in, but the number of...
