Paris is still reeling from Friday's terrorist attacks, and already it is being asked to adapt to a new reality -- a state of war • Israel Hayom Foreign News Editor Boaz Bismuth spent a week in the devastated city, listening to residents' stories.
I have covered a lot of terrorist attacks in my lifetime: in Tunisia, Casablanca, Copenhagen, Toulouse, Baghdad, and countless other places. The Israeli Embassy in Mauritania, which I headed for a time, was the target of an al-Qaida attack in 2008. I became a victim of jihadist terrorism when terrorists tried to hurt my staff and my family in the name of Allah.
But this past week in Paris has been, without a doubt, the worst. Not just because of the sheer number of terrorists (eight or nine) involved in last Friday's assault on the French capital, and not just because of the overwhelming number of victims (129 dead and many more injured), but because of the location: the magical city of lights, which I called home for 16 years.
Until now, Paris had never experienced a suicide bombing. Last Friday, six terrorists detonated explosives strapped to their bodies and another, a woman, detonated herself in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis during a police raid on Wednesday. The jihadists came to Paris to put out its eternal lights. They succeeded. The city of lights went dark overnight.
"Look at their expressions. They have seen hell," said French President Francois Hollande to his aides when he arrived at the scene of the attacks in the 11th arrondissement of Paris at 2 a.m. "We are at war," he announced. But with whom are we at war? That is a complicated question, with no clear answer.
France tried so hard to placate Islam. It built many mosques and afforded a great deal of respect to the world's second most popular religion. When you have 7 million Muslims living in the republic, there is not a whole lot else you can do. We have come such a long way since 1741, when Voltaire's play "Mahomet (Le Fanatisme, ou Mahomet le Prophete)" described the Muslim Prophet Muhammad as fanatical, cruel and cunning.
Voltaire, one of France's foremost writers throughout history, later changed his stance and praised Muhammad at the expense of Christianity. He, much like the rest of France, made peace with Muhammad and with Islam.
But the terrorist cells opted to prove to the world that they can, and should, commit horrible crimes in the name of Allah and the prophet. Votaire's change of heart was not enough for the jihadists of Islamic State. They may never have heard of Voltaire, but in a recent announcement they declared that France was a prime target for attacks because of the permissive lifestyle of the "infidels" who inhabit it.
The people I met this week in France were not in a state of anxiety, fear or disgust. They were in shock and they were having trouble understanding what had happened. The residents of Paris may have experienced terrorist attacks in the not so distant past, but then there was a reason for each attack. In 1980, in the attack on a synagogue on Copernic Street, then-French Prime Minister Raymond Barre said that "this odious bombing wanted to strike Jews who were going to the synagogue and it hit innocent French people who crossed Copernic Street," implying that the Jews were not innocent. The Jews were deeply hurt by the remark, and rightfully so, but the remark was very telling: The French can tolerate terrorism, as long as it does not target the French. The same was true in the 1990s, when the reason was the civil war in Algeria.
Then came the attacks in January this year. First was the attack on the offices of satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. Ostensibly, there was a reason for the attack: It targeted journalists who had dared make fun of the Prophet Muhammad. Two days later there was an attack on a kosher supermarket. Millions took to the streets to protest the assault on journalists and Jews, but no average Frenchman was ever really in danger. Or at least that is what they wanted to believe as they buried their heads in the sand.
But on Friday, Nov. 13, that construct collapsed entirely. The terrorists set their sights on the Bataclan concert hall (where people of all ages come to listen to music) and a number of cafes and restaurants in the 10th and 11th arrondissements (and who in Paris doesn't frequent a cafe?), and just to demonstrate how random the attacks were, and that absolutely anyone could have been a victim, they set off a number of explosions outside the Stade de France stadium. Everyone goes to the Stade de France, including many Muslims and Africans.
France was shocked to see the writing that had been on the wall all along. Jihadism had only been looking for an opportunity to strike. Where al-Qaida failed, Islamic State succeeded, and is now a source of true terror in the country. They even managed to get the Eiffel Tower to go dark for three days of mourning.
There is no doubt that the French do not understand where this terrorist assault came from. They don't understand how France of all places -- the birthplace of human rights, which has welcomed immigrants throughout history -- is paying the price of the jihad it harbors within it, the product of third-generation immigrants from the Maghreb region.
Apocalypse, tomorrow
I walked around the suburbs of Paris a lot this week. I visited the mosque frequented by Omar Ismail Mostefai, who blew himself up in the Bataclan concert hall in order to kill as many people as possible. I spoke to worshippers at the mosque. Karim, 40, told me the same thing that I heard from every Muslim I spoke to. "What the jihadists are doing is not Islam," he said, but, like everyone else, added that the miserable living conditions and the failed absorption of those sons of immigrants into French society have pushed them to seek the kind of radicalism that Islamic State represents. I didn't hear him say that terrorism is terrorism, regardless of where in the world it is committed.
It is true that the vast majority of the Muslims with whom I spoke condemned terrorism outright. But they refused to recognize that there is incitement in the mosques. They mainly made excuses. That is the real danger. No one here wants to see that there is a clash of religions underway, even though the images seen from the cathedral in Saint-Denis on Wednesday must have reminded many of those dark days when Muslims and Christians butchered one another. It is precisely this feeling that the French are desperately trying to avoid. It is also the reason why the republic will be very disappointed if the National Front, headed by radical right-winger Marine Le Pen, will make dramatic gains in the regional elections next month. To a certain extent, this was foreseen by French writer Michel Houellebecq in his novel "Submission." The general direction: a head-on collision in the streets of Paris between the extreme Right and jihadists.
On Sunday I visited the Place de la Republique. Among the many French people at the square, a young woman named Valerie was holding a single rose. She looked very sad. Two of her fellow students at the Sorbonne had been killed at the nearby Bataclan. She was also supposed to have gone to the concert that night, but she felt ill and stayed home. On Friday, she shuddered to think, she was jealous of them.
"This is not our Paris," says Valerie, who is studying literature and dreams of becoming a teacher. "Education is important. After these attacks I want to teach in the poor areas. I don't want any more young people to take the path of groups like Islamic State. I want to teach children of all religions the values of my secular republic that respects all religions."
Q: Do you think France will win this battle?
"Today I don't know," she says. "Yesterday I had an answer. Yesterday I was sure." But like many young people, she is now very confused.
A group of people around us begins to sing "Bataclan, we will return" and "Stade de France, we will return." Suddenly we hear a loud explosion, and panic sets in. Valerie disappears. The crowd is convinced that this is another attack. Not far from where I'm standing I see an empty stroller with no one around. The parent grabbed the child from it and ran. This is the new reality in France 2015.
Later that day, only a handful of people return to the square. So what if it was only a terrible prank? Just children playing with firecrackers at a very bad time?
Who poured the poison?
Mark, 50, is a member of the local council in the high-class suburb of Neuilly. This suburb, where former French President Nicolas Sarkozy once served as mayor, is rich and luxurious, the mirror image of Saint-Denis. On weekends, the locals like to visit a famous Italian restaurant, whose patrons include many Jews. Mark is one of them.
The grandson of the founder of this restaurant, Pierre Innocenti, is a good friend of Mark's. On Friday, Pierre posted a picture of himself and his cousin Stephane Albertini enjoying the Eagles of Death Metal concert at the Bataclan. He was supposed to inherit the restaurant one day, together with his brother. That will never happen now.
"I lost a friend," says Mark, who is having trouble hiding his profound sorrow. "We refused to see the reality as it truly was. I hope that now, the French understand, but I can't say that I'm sure they do."
This week I walked past the restaurant during the evening. Normally there is a long line of people waiting to be seated. It was closed. The wreaths piled at the entrance told the story of what had happened. Neuilly is seen as detached from the day-to-day reality, as a separate planet, removed from the daily grind. But it, too, fell victim to jihad. The restaurant, one of the symbols of the entire suburb, was closed for three days.
I was reminded of another Mark, Mark Trevidic, a French judge whose area of expertise is terrorism. This week, many people began viewing him as a prophet of doom after he foresaw Friday's attacks. "We [France] have become Islamic State's number one enemy," he said in an interview on Sept. 30, six weeks before the attacks. "France is the chief target for terrorists."
After the attacks, Trevidic became very sought after. He was a guest on all the television channels. But he is still pessimistic. He believes that there is still more to come. "There will be more attacks," he says. "We have entered into a confrontation with Islamic State terrorists, who obviously don't expect us to end the strikes in Syria. France will hit them harder and they will respond by perpetrating more attacks on our soil. From now one, this is the logic in which we must operate."
Trevidic welcomes Hollande's decision to declare a state of emergency in France -- a rare move that was first enacted in 1955 following the outbreak of the Algerian war. But Trevidic asks that France refrain from responding too dramatically. "We are running the risk of pushing moderate Muslims to radicalize if they feel persecuted," he says. "That is exactly what al-Qaida tried to do in the past and what Islamic State is trying to do now."
Trevidic thinks that France needs to completely change its outlook. The general attitude in his country makes him extremely angry, and you can't blame him. According to him, it is unthinkable that France tiptoe around the concept of war, talking instead about "peace forces," and then be shocked by Islamic State attacks. Just recently, he notes, Islamic State terrorists downed a Russian plane over Sinai and carried out a terrorist attack in Beirut, and immediately afterward set their sights on Paris.
In the French media, Trevidic was asked whether France needs to recalculate its foreign policy course.
"The story is to dictate the necessary minimum to a number of countries," he replies. "I am thinking mainly about Turkey because of Turkey's ambivalent attitude toward Islamic State. In a wider sense, I would say that France has lost its credibility in its relations with Saudi Arabia. We know very well that it was this Gulf state that poured the poison known as Wahhabism [the strict interpretation of Islam followed in Saudi Arabia] into the cup. The terrorist attacks in Paris are just a part of the result. To declare war on Islam while simultaneously shaking the hand of the Saudi king is like saying you are fighting Hitler while inviting him to your table."
Trevidic has had the opportunity to question many French nationals after their return from Syria. Perhaps this is the source of his pessimism.
"For three years, we allowed this monster to grow," he says. "The Islamic State organization has been dreaming of only one thing: to strike France. They will use any means possible to realize this dream. The last suspect who was in my office in mid-August admitted that he had been asked to carry out an attack at a rock concert. When you see the level of the coordination behind the attacks, you understand that these people are professionals. They are fighters sent to fight us. I think that if today an emir of an Islamic country was to look for volunteers to commit attacks in France, 200 hands would be raised. For 10 years we did nothing. We did nothing in the holding cells, we did nothing online, and we allowed this material to enter every home, exposing 12-year-olds to jihadist videos."
Many people in France are convinced that the 2005 riots were a precursor to what is happening now. France did not respond too harshly to the acts of the rioters from the suburbs. French Justice Minister Christian Taubira believes in taking a lenient approach in dealing with them. But the fact is that one of Friday's attackers, Mostefai, had committed eight crimes between 2004 and 2010 and did not spend even one day in jail.
Don't let them win
Eric is an attorney with 20 years experience. I meet him at a cafe in the 17th arrondissement. There are 11 tables; 10 of them are empty. Eric, an expert litigator, does not like the constitutional reform proposed by Hollande on Monday.
"What is he trying to say?" he asks. "That eight terrorists can change our historical constitution that was inspired by General de Gaulle? We need to take things in the proper proportions. There is a limit to what jihadists should be able to do. They want to change France, and just take a look around: This week we closed theaters, museums and schools. We played directly into their hands. That is exactly what the terrorists want. Islamic State's victory is not just over the attacks in Syria. Victory means maintaining a normal life, without falling into insanity."
As for himself, he refuses to change any part of his daily routine.
"We need to move on. I think that the routine is the best escape and I hope that it will soon be restored in France," he says.
I lived in Paris for 16 years. I always saw it happy and joyous, even after the devastating attacks in January. Then, the French public responded to terrorism by staging demonstrations and marches, expressing their feelings through song and pride. This time it is different. Three days of mourning and a national state of emergency have prompted the French to stay in their homes.
It is hard to believe that France will bounce back quickly. The attacks of Friday Nov. 13 have left a nasty scar across the face of this magical country. For years, France has been the world's number one tourist destination, but this week every branch of tourism experienced an avalanche of cancellations. The only ones to save the hotel industry were the journalists who came to cover the events.
Putin, the big winner
Like everything else in life, here too there are winners and losers. The big winner this week was Russian President Vladimir Putin, the man who went to war against Ukraine and annexed Crimea, and then saw the West gang up on him and impose tough sanctions.
It was only two weeks ago that Islamic State terrorists bombed a Russian plane, and Putin was at his weakest. But he bet on Syria, thus making an unbelievably smart move. Suddenly France, which had previously come out against him and refused to sell him warships, became his ally in the war on Islamic State. The legitimacy he lost in Ukraine, he regained in Syria. The attacks in Paris managed to achieve two impossible feats: They turned Putin into the West's darling, and they turned the lights off in the Eiffel Tower, albeit temporarily.
But the lights have come back on, in the colors of the French flag. "We are not so patriotic here in France," says Caroline Delase, a French journalist who worked in Israel. "Waving the flag anywhere but at soccer matches is considered old-fashioned."
But Islamic State terrorists have brought the French flag back into fashion. France is at war, and in war, the first thing you do is to take out the flag. Terrorism has made the French less joyous but more patriotic.
It has been a tumultuous and crazy week in Paris. I thought deeply about what I saw and heard. I thought about those who have been trying to find justification for the violence, to understand the attackers and provide excuses for terrorism, as though desperation can excuse murder. I thought about the humanism that the French are so proud of. Between ceremonies, between attacks and manhunts, I passed by the famous Cafe de Flore. I thought about Nobel Prize Laureate Albert Camus who loved to sit there, on the left bank of the Seine. I thought about the things he wrote in his wonderful book "The Plague" that now ring truer than ever:
"When war breaks out people say: 'It won't last, it's too stupid.' And war is certainly too stupid, but that doesn't prevent it from lasting. Stupidity always carries doggedly on, as people would notice if they were not always thinking about themselves. In this respect, the citizens of Oran were like the rest of the world, they thought about themselves; in other words, they were humanists: they did not believe in pestilence. A pestilence does not have human dimensions, so people tell themselves that it is unreal, that it is a bad dream which will end. But it does not always end and, from one bad dream to the next, it is people who end, humanists first of all because they have not prepared themselves."

White-tailed bucks photographed in Boiling Springs State Park, Oklahoma from November 10 through December 6, 2011.
November 10th, the rut or breeding season is just beginning. Notice this buck doesn't yet have the swollen neck which bucks have during the rut.
Early morning light adds a beautiful warmth to the color in this image. The frost on the grass in the shaded foreground has not yet melted.
This one has a nice symmetrical 10-point rack.
During the rut, bucks are active night and day and get very little rest.
Ouch! This one has gotten too close to a porcupine. Note the five quills stuck to the left side of his face. Believe it or not, porcupines are not unusual in northwestern Oklahoma.
A light snow has blanketed the park on the morning of December 6, 2011 and the rut is almost over for another year.

OAKLAND – In a time of sluggishness and inefficiency, the Warriors jumpstarted their engine by returning to a remedy that often camouflaged last season's inconsistency.
The Warriors finished with a 117-101 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies because of a third-quarter blitz. After struggling against the Grizzlies' grinding and slow-tempo style, the Warriors quickly went into overdrive. The Warriors turned a 58-58 halftime tie into a 92-73 cushion entering the fourth quarter en route to an eighth consecutive win and a tie for a league-best 10-1 record.
The Warriors scored 14 unanswered points over two minutes late in the third quarter. The run began with Alfonzo McKinnie's pull-up jumper and ended with McKinnie's 23-footer. In between, Stephen Curry sank a 27-foot 3-pointer, Kevin Durant made two jump shots and Kevon Looney converted on a layup. Meanwhile, Memphis (5-3) finished with a season-low 15 points in the quarter on 5-of-19 shooting from the field.
The Warriors anticipated playing a grind-it-out game against a Grizzlies team that entered Monday ranked 27th in total offense (104.3 points per game) and relatively efficient in field-goal percentage (44.8 percent) and from the perimeter (ninth at a 37.7 percent clip). Meanwhile, Memphis ranks No. 2 in points allowed (100.3) and 16th in defensive field-goal percentage (46.3).
"We just had to stay the course. This whole team uses up the whole possession to find their best shot," Durant said. "You have to respect it. We're so used to getting the team shooting the ball with 15, 16 seconds left on the shot clock and we're getting down and running. But they're a smart basketball team. We know they can't run with us so we're going to slow the game down. We did a great job of matching their physicality, but also switching up our style of play."
Warriors forward Draymond Green is dealing with an injury.
All of which helped the Warriors absorb some issues. The most notable: Green missed the entire second half with a right foot contusion. Afterward, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said that his X-rays came back negative. Durant believed that Green feels "all right" after noting he did not sit out right away. Still Durant admitted he had not talked to Green afterward, and Kerr expressed uncertainty about Green's availability for Thursday's game against the Milwaukee Bucks.
"It didn't make sense for him to go out there and play in the second half," Kerr said. "He sort of tested it out. We decided to shut him down. We'll see what happens."
The Warriors also experienced some other challenges. Curry had 19 points, while shooting a rarely inefficient 6-of-17 from the field. The Warriors frontcourt in Damian Jones (five) and Jordan Bell (four) became hobbled with foul trouble.
The Warriors compensated elsewhere. Klay Thompson had a team-leading 27 points while shooting 11 of 21 from the field and 3 of 7 from 3-point range. Durant added 22 points on a 7-of-11 clip and an 8-of-8 mark from the free-throw line. And the Warriors dominated in the third period.
"KD got through his spots and was doing everything out there," Thompson said. "When he's getting that mid range, he's literally impossible to stop."
Durant increased his playmaking duties.
It also became impossible to stop Durant and Thompson after assuming larger playmaking roles. With Green's second-half absence, the Warriors relied on a drive-and-kick game to speed up the tempo. That became more effective than in the first half when the Warriors committed seven turnovers.
"I just tried to provide that same punch for us and facilitate the ball and also be aggressive to score, too," Durant said. "I just tried to find the right play and make the right play."
Those right plays also happened on defense. The Warriors held the Grizzlies to a 5-of-19 clip from the field and 1-of-5 mark from 3-point range. Memphis center Marc Gasol had zero shot attempts in the second half after only having two in the first half. The Warriors then ended the third period with Durant and Curry stopping Wayne Seldon at the rim.
After stuffing Seldon, Curry walked toward his teammates that had just cleared the bench. It was as if Curry took over for Green's absence. Or as Durant joked, "We'll have to start calling him a rim protector now."
"That was impressive. I was hoping for the Mutombo finger wag," Kerr joked. "I didn't quite get it."
The Warriors are relying on McKinnie in crunch time.
As McKinnie strolled into the press conference room, a reporter jokingly lamented his arrival and wondered if he has become bored.
"I can become used to this," McKinnie said grinning.
For two consecutive games, McKinnie has commanded the podium for obvious reasons. He offered another promising performance for a player who joined the Warriors as a training camp invitee (14 points on 6-of-9 shooting, 2-of-3 from 3-point range in 19 minutes off the bench). He provided a pivotal part of the Warriors' third-quarter run. He played the entire fourth quarter.
That has left the Warriors wondering if he is just getting started.
"Don't wake him up," Kerr joked. "What I love about him is he's naturally very confident. He's not afraid of anything. He gets out there and rises up. He's open, he's going to rise up and maybe that's what his journey led to."
That journey has become well documented in the past two weeks.
McKinnie went undrafted after playing at Eastern Illinois (2010-12) and Wisconsin-Green Bay (2013-15). He played internationally in Luxembourg and Mexico. He paid $175 for a 3-on-3 tryout with the Chicago Bulls' G-League team, which then led to stints with Windy City (2016-17) and the Raptors 905 (2017-18). With Patrick McCaw's free agency at a standstill, the Warriors turned McKinnie's training-camp contract into a regular-season deal that becomes guaranteed on Jan. 10.
"He was an NBA player. But it's all about getting your opportunity," said Warriors guard Quinn Cook, who played in the G-League last season. "There's so many talented guys who are in the league who just haven't gotten their perfect opportunity. He's taking full advantage of it. It says a lot about him."
It also says a lot about McKinnie on how he has dealt with the attention.
He noted that his "phone's been blowing up" and that his Twitter account has gained followers. McKinnie added, "I'm just happy I'm in this situation." But the Warriors have not sensed the extra attention changing him.
"Zo is not reading too much into that because it's not really real," Durant said. "He tries to come out there and play extremely hard and is shooting the ball with confidence at the moment and playing defense. So he's going to step outside of himself. I think we're all excited for him. But we want more for him. He wants more for himself. It's 11 games in. We look forward to seeing him do this the rest of the year."
Will that be sustainable? Defenses are likely to key in on McKinnie. Maybe the heavy minutes eventually catch up to him. But his stock has kept rising. He has defended consistently because of his constant hustle. He has shot consistently because of his strong confidence.
"It's unbelievable. I don't what to jinx the man. But he makes his first shot every time he comes in the game," Thompson said. "He's so efficient and fills up such a great role for us with his defensive versatility and ability to rebound and ability to knock down jumpers. He took a crazy path and he deserves everything he's doing. He works really hard."
The Warriors appreciate Quinn Cook's professionalism.
The moment could have caused Cook to complain publicly or sulk privately. After sitting on the bench during the Warriors' wins last week against New Orleans and Minnesota, Cook channeled his frustration elsewhere. He completed a postgame shooting workout.
"For any basketball player, if their rhythm is off, they'll try to do anything to get their rhythm back," Cook said. "It's something I've always done."
Hence, Cook immediately felt comfortable returning to the lineup. He scored 13 points while shooting 4 of 5 from 3-point range along with seven rebounds in 13 minutes off the bench.
"He's a true pro. He's been working that hard since he was a kid," said Durant, who grew up with Cook in the Washington, D.C., area. "I don't think just because you get to the NBA. He puts in that work every single day."
That work started at DeMatha High (of Hyattsville, Marylan) and Oak Hill Prep. It then continued at Duke University. During all of those stops, Cook said he often completed postgame shooting workouts after games he either shot the ball poorly or played limited minutes.
"You have to stay ready and always have to put the work in and stay in shape," Cook said. "Just stay in tune with what's going on. You never know when your opportunity will come."
The Warriors pushed out the vote one more time.
Curry did not say much about the game at the postgame podium. When it came to the mid-term elections on Tuesday? Different story. Curry wore a black T-shirt with the words, "The Young People will win." That phrase stemmed from the "March for Our Lives" group, founded by survivors of the high school shooting in Parkland, Florida.
"Obviously understanding what tomorrow means in terms of how important it is to vote and specifically around candidates and people running for office that are protecting gun control and things like that," Curry explained. "Trying to continue to raise awareness any way that I can. The saying speaks for itself as far as what tomorrow means all across our country."
The Warriors have become outspoken leading up to Tuesday's mid-term elections. They partnered with "Rock The Vote," which resulted in registering seven players, two assistant coaches and a dozen staff members. In the past year, the Warriors have remained critical of President Donald Trump's divisive rhetoric. And Kerr has spoken out on every mass shooting.
"It was different how I was as a player," Kerr said regarding his NBA career (1988-2003). "It wasn't something that was talked about that much in professional sports. Some of that had to do with the fact we lived in a more stable time. We all had more faith in our government, what was happening and our institutions. When you're more comfortable you're less likely to be outspoken. Everybody is more uncomfortable now."
And mostly everybody has a Twitter account.
"We live in an era of social media and everyone has a platform and every one has a voice. If you're one of those guys in our locker room, we have a platform," Kerr said. "They recognize they have the power to create some good and positive change. I'm really proud of them to urge people to vote. I'm trying to do the same thing. Hopefully it helps."
Memphis' Omri Casspi appreciates the Warriors' gesture
The man did not play one postseason game for the Warriors. He also became hobbled with injuries. But the Warriors still honored Memphis forward Omri Casspi with a tribute video and a championship ring before Monday's game.
"I'm really excited about it and really thankful," said Casspi, who also was sidelined with right knee soreness. "It's a class act by the Warriors. We all know how grateful I am for that."
The Warriors waived Casspi before the NBA playoffs started for two reasons. He had missed the previous 10 games with a right ankle injury that showed no signs of healing. With Curry sidelined with a Grade 2 MCL sprain in his left knee, the Warriors became encouraged with Cook's emergence at point guard.
Though Casspi appeared tentative with taking 3-point shots, he still averaged 5.7 points on 58 percent shooting in 14 minutes. He also impressed the Warriors with his selfless play and effective cutting.
"I'm glad he'll be able to be recognized," Kerr said. "The circumstances last year were really tough. It's part of the NBA."

The Warriors are staying cautious with their veteran reserves.
Warriors veteran Shaun Livingston missed a fourth consecutive game because of a sore right knee that Kerr believes Livingston will heal by the end of the week. Meanwhile, veteran Andre Iguodala sat for what the team considered rest purposes after nursing a recent injury.
Iguodala's absence extended his recovery period since the Warriors last played Friday against Minnesota. The Warriors do not play until Thursday against Milwaukee.

Arguments over beer and near fatal stabbings.
Man stabbed several times in dispute over beer kegBy Jessica Kwong - Express-News
A dispute over a beer keg and tap in northwest San Antonio resulted in a stabbing Tuesday night.
Two men in their mid-20s were arguing outside on the 7200 block of Cool Creek Drive, and San Antonio police responded to a 7:50 p.m. call that it had turned violent, said Det. Mark Stanush.
"One of them wanted the keg back that the other boy had borrowed," Stanush said. "He didn't have it anymore, apparently."

guest Sister (Sr Carol) firstname.lastname@example.com
Today we have gathered here to celebrate the anniversary of this Priory to the glory of Almighty God in 1955. Since then many women have dedicated their lives as Sisters in the Society of S. Margaret and spent their lives here assisting in the work of the Shrine. Although somewhat overshadowed by the presence of the Shrine, this priory has come to be an important part of the work of it. It is also important in the lives of many people who come here to pray, for it presents us with a place of solitude, an oasis in a busy world where the pace of life seems to get even faster every day. This is surely a place in Eliot's words, 'where prayer has been valid. And prayer is more than an order of words, the conscious occupation of the praying mind'.
Buildings are important, whether a glorious medieval gothic cathedral or a humble village church whose architect is unknown, and during the last 50 years or so we have been made aware of this fact by the growing voices of conservation groups. As some of you present will know, one only has to whisper a suggestion that a particular church might close, and much emotion is aroused. Buildings, no less our places of worship, are part of the community, we identify with them and they give us a sense of belonging. This priory likewise, plays an important role in this village.
It was in this spirit that the Jews looked towards the Temple in Jerusalem. In the first book of the Kings we read of how, urged on by King Solomon, the nobles followed his example in making suitable contributions towards the building of the House of God, and then there is a wonderful prayer of dedication offered by the King. The Temple was to become for the Jews a sacred and much loved place, a place where God was, in a mysterious way, uniquely present to them. It was home, both to the Jews and to their God, and because of this, Jerusalem where the Temple was situated, took on a symbolic significance. It was the focus of the Jewish faith, rather as a cathedral is the focal point of a diocese. It was the place where the traffic between Heaven and earth was so intense and so evident, that to go up to Jerusalem was to go to meet God. So, to speak of Jerusalem was to refer implicitly, not just to an earthly place, but to the divine dwelling place, to heaven itself. Our places of worship serve the same function, for it is here that Heaven and earth meet, particularly in the sacraments. It is the place where Our Lord is present with us in so many ways and especially in the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle and in this mass.
How was it then that Jesus, born of the Jewish race and who kept the Jewish religious observances, and worshiped in the synagogue like all good Jews, could commit such an outrage such as we heard in today's gospel passage. Here is this religious leader, exerting an authority by overthrowing the tables of the money changers in the Temple, and labeling it 'a den of thieves'. Such action should disturb us, not simply of what Jesus did then, for we do not pay allegiance to the Temple in Jerusalem. We should be disturbed because of how he might judge us a church. When Solomon dedicated the completed Temple, it was more than dedicating stones and mortar. For it was there that the people dedicated themselves to the one God. As God had shown constant love and loyalty to his chosen people, so they in turn were expected to respond in loyal and willing obedience. And no less is expected of us. S. Paul, writing to the church at Ephasus, aware of the importance of the Temple in the lives of the Jews, and conscious of the pagan temples known to his hearers, uses the analogy of stones to indicate that the non-Jewish people have as much right to belong to the one Christian church as the Jews themselves. All of us, whatever our race or social background, are members of the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. S. Peter elsewhere, refers to his readers as 'living stones' and calls them to be built, in metaphoric language, into a spiritual temple, a symbol of the oneness of the church. We, like them, are called to be a spiritual temple, a place where the Lord lives. S. Augustine of Hippo, writing some four centuries later, says that 'this congregation is the dedication of a house of prayer… we ourselves are the house of God'. Continuing the analogy, he goes on to say about stones 'they do not make a house of God unless they are cemented together by love'. A pile of stones is of very little use unless there is something to bind them together, and we as living stones need to be bound together in mutual love in order to be built up into the spiritual temple where the Lord may dwell. There is no room for envy, malice, hatred, pride and all those other sins which S. Paul lists, for they are like the weeds which take root in the crevices of a building, and which, if not removed, will cause the building to disintegrate.
So how do we see ourselves as a church? As a club for the religiously minded? Or a place of security from the ravages of the world outside? Neither of these, l venture to suggest, is a healthy definition, because they are too inward looking. A church needs to be outward looking and have a sense of mission. S. Peter, with James and John on the mount of Transfiguration, wanted to remain there, but they had to come down and get on with their work as disciples. The church which is all of us, not just the clergy, but laity and Religious also, must with its imperfections and confusions, give a clear lead which our generation is longing for, but will not accept unless it is seen to be relevant. It must be grappling with the question of how to work out ethical principles today, but remain faithful to biblical teaching, and especially that of Our Lord. This is part of the mission of the church and we must be humble enough to accept that we do not know all the answers. The church cannot escape involvement in secular life – if we are allowed to make any distinction between religious and secular – because the whole world is subject to God's rule and activity.
So as we give thanks for the dedication of the Priory, we give thanks for all those who have given up all worldly expectations and dedicated themselves to God here, and we need to re-dedicate ourselves to God in a spirit of penitence. In a few moments, bread and wine, ordinary objects, will be taken and transformed by the Holy Spirit to be the Body and Blood of Christ, our spiritual food. As we offer this bread and wine, let us dedicate ourselves anew and ask the Holy Spirit to transform us into a spiritual temple where he can dwell. Then we will be equipped for whatever mission of ministry the Lord has for us.

Title: What solutions to hair loss?
Dr. Alexandra Dalu, was born on April 4, 1975 at Harfleur en Haute Normandie en France, after obtaining my high school degree in La Havre, I intended to follow my a passion in Human Science, and achieve my goal as a medical doctor. I was graduated from Paris V Universite Necker Enfant- Malade /Rene Descartes. I have obtained my doctorate with honorable appreciation from the committee, for my thesis on the topic of obesity and its application to social psychology bariatric surgery. This was the first thesis carried out on this subject which has been recognized by the internationally renowned jury of eminent psychiatrists, surgeons and endocrinologists. After having worked nearly 15 years in the hospital in the Emergency department, I decided to return to the option to switch between other degrees, directed towards anti-aging medicine. Certainly, this kind of a specialty has always inspired me, due to my belief in the saying Prevention is better than cure. It includes nutrition, micro nutrition, aesthetic medicine, endocrinology, herbal medicine, psychology, management of sleep, the preparation of athletes and management of welfare as a whole, while managing and controlling the treatment of medical pathologies. This kind of well-being has been recognized in the USA, and had taken my attention when I was a teenager travelling to the US to visit my American family friends. All these capsules, plants, vitamins, this culture of well-being, performance and the improvement of the self-appealed to me since this plays a very important role in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. This Preventive Medicine has very recently been recognized and become important in France, as well. In addition, I have also obtained my degree mesotherapy to treat, heal pain and illness of all kinds including tendinitis and migranes. Mesotherapy is a very interesting technique in the field of anti-aging medicine, because it is used both to inject herbs, vitamins and Oligo elements in the scalp, tendons and articulations to treat the deficit of venous, which is responsible for cellulite in women and sensation of heavy legs. Currently, I am practicing at my cabinet office in Paris. I am as well a consultant doctor and guest speaker (conference) for Laboratories de complements aliment Aires Oligosante.

Recently, a woman parked her vehicle on the roadside in front of a convenience store in the Liaoning city of Dalian and started talking on her phone. Her conversation was interrupted, however, when an elderly man ran into the hood of her car.
Surveillance footage has gone viral on Chinese social media showing the old man jogging towards the parked vehicle and falling down in front of it as if he had been hit. The woman then got out of the car and talked to the man, but he refused to leave.
He changed his tune, however, when she called the police, getting up and shuffling away from the scene.
The grandpa is one of the opportunistic individuals in China who practice the traditional art of pengci (碰瓷), a term that refers to those fearless scammers who throw themselves in front of cars hoping to win some compensation money from drivers.
Sometimes though, their efforts are foiled by dashcams and by trying the trick on police cars.

- 45 mins
- 4 courgettes, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch strips
- 4 yellow squash, sliced in rounds
- 4 red onions, sliced in round 1/2 inch strips
- 4 Red pepper, in half
- 4 aubergines, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch strips
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 8 Fresh basil leaves
- 2 Italian bread loafs
- Mozzarella (sliced thin)
- To make mayo:
- 3/4 to 1 cup mayonnaise
- 8oz pesto
- To make pesto:
- 1 large bunch of basil, leaves only, washed and dried
- 3 medium cloves of garlic
- one small handful of raw pine nuts (0r roasted)
- roughly 3/4 cup Parmesan, loosely packed and FRESHLY GRATED
- A few tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil
- To make the sandwich: Prepare grill. Lightly brush vegetables with oil and grill on an oiled rack set about 4 inches over glowing coals about 4 minutes on each side, or until cooked through. Cut peppers into strips. Lightly brush cut sides of bread with oil and grill, about 2 minutes, or until golden. Spread each piece of bread with 4 tablespoons pesto mayo and divide peppers, eggplants, and mozzarella between them. Grill sandwiches, covered, just until cheese is melted. (Alternatively, vegetables and assembled sandwiches may be broiled.) Sprinkle each sandwich with basil and cut in half. To make the pesto: chopping all the ingredients by hand and not blending them is key because this prevents the ingredients from becoming a completely homogenized emulsion or paste. Pesto keeps, covered and chilled, up to 1 week. Makes about 2/3 cup.

I want to commend your salesman, for being so thorough, patient and yet persistent with follow up in our decision making process. Kanga Roof did an excellent job laying out the details, highlighting your company's pluses and never speaking negatively about the other bidders. I appreciate that you were able to accommodate my request for a non-smoking crew. That your team was able to get it done in one day; with the exception of one clean up, was amazing. It was a bit windy that day, and some debris sailed into our pastures and trees. Kanga Roof got it cleaned up; checked for metal and nails (we have horses and he was mindful of that) and even got up on the roof and straightened a bent shingle corner. Overall, I'm am very pleased with the quality of work provided by your team and hope you will pass on our thanks to the men that worked on our project.
I can't thank Kanga Roof enough for replacing my roof this past Christmas. Even during all the snow and crazy weather, I felt peace because of my new roof.
Kanga Roofing did a great job! There was great communication, no surprises and amazing customer service. We will recommend them to all of our friends and neighbors.
Kanga Roof did a great job with the explanation of what needed to be done and what materials would be used. I had reservations about the job being completed in two days time, but they were right on the money. My wife and I are very satisfied in the way the entire job was handled. All of our neighbors have expressed their compliments on a job well done on our two roofs.
Kanga Roof's crew is on time, courteous and professional. They even cover your windows to make sure nothing gets broken, and make sure everything in your yard is moved to safety. The roof was done in no time, and so was the siding and rain spouts! The clean up was immaculate and you wouldn't even know that they were there! We are so happy with all of the staff and crew and we can't thank you enough. Thank you, Kanga Roof, for making our house into a beautiful home!
Kanga Roof's staff was also with us when the insurance Agent came by. Having a member of Kanga Roof's staff there made that difficult process easier. The staff also came by our home to discuss the color scheme of the project. He made sure we were happy, and even gave a few suggestions of his own.
Abe came to our home, and after seeing the damage he made a quick phone call. Before we knew it there was a crew at our house to help protect it from further damage. Abe impressed us with his quickness and professionalism. He explained the necessary steps we needed to take, and made what we thought was a bad situation into a bearable one. When he left we knew we were going to be okay.
When Hurricane Sandy hit our home..it was pretty bad. The roof was damaged and the siding was ripped off of our house! We were told to call Kanga Roof, and we are so happy we took that advice!
Kanga Roof replaced our roof and siding at the end of May this year. Everything went smoothly without any complications. This September, as I was cutting down a tree--when the tree came down so did the wire that was attached to my house. I called Ted C Vingless of Kanga Roof and he sent out a crew the next day to repair my home. They even refused to charge me! All contractors should take a lesson from Kanga Roof. If someone asks who did my roof-- I would recommend Kanga Roof in a heartbeat.
Kanga Roof lived up to every aspect of what was told to us. We are very satisfied and very comfortable that we made the right decision to go with Kanga Roof. They are an absolute pleasure to do business with!
Kanga Roof is the greatest company! I was having trouble with another contractor that kept caulking my roof because it was out of warranty, but Kanga Roof performed a hose test and properly diagnosed my roof's problem. They repaired my leak quickly and perfectly. Thanks Kanga Roof!
The Kanga Roof team was very professional, courteous, and business like. They all worked very well together, and were very focused on the job at hand. You are lucky to have a great team. Keep up the good work!
As usual, we are more than satisfied. It is so nice to be able to have confidence in a company. We paid top price–but we got top work.
I want to commend Ted of Kanga Roof for the work he did on the ramp for the door sill of the front door. It's so much easier for me to roll my walker up and over. It's such a relief not to have to lift it over the old door sill. I also don't have to worry about anyone tripping over it. Thank you for the good work!
My wife and I are very pleased with the craftsmanship of your job! We both agree that you want to make the customer 100% satisfied. I feel very comfortable knowing that if a problem comes up (not that we anticipate any!)–Kanga Roof will be here to assist.

Take a look at the resources and scenarios on the BYOD4L website around today's theme of curating to get started. Curating is my favourite day of the course as it gives me the chance to talk about improving productivity in our day-to-day activities!
By 2018, video will account for over 2/3 of mobile usage (Socialnomics 2017) with over 400 hours of video content being added every minute! The research world is no different to the rest with Altmetric tracking over 17 million mentions of 2.7 million different research outputs in the last year. There is too much content available for anyone to consume so how do we navigate this overwhelming amount of information? Knowledge curators is the answer. Our students need us to help guide them to the best, most relevant sources for them to learn effectively. And we need to help each other to save precious time in our busy lives.
I still go back to Clay Shirky's analogy of information overload and how we have all learnt to navigate a bookshop despite the amount of information on offer. Here are three of my favourite curation tools with examples of how they can be used in your teaching and to manage your own daily activities:
What to curate really depends on your interests and how you want to engage with your students. Maybe curating video playlists via YouTube would be useful (see this great example from David Garbutt on End of Life Care videos). Or maybe your students could do with more context for resources encountered on their learning journey (check out this new tool Wakelet which gives you the power to add a narrative to your group of links). Or maybe you just need to do something to help you keep on top of all the latest developments in your field (cue Feedly, see the video in point 1 above). The key is that you don't need to create all of your content from scratch, just try out a tool to curate existing knowledge in a meaningful way.
