*This is an eclectic blog....	How I Would Resurrect ‘The Killing’
AMC’s The Killing was cancelled this summer but rumour has it DirectTV and Netflix are interested in resurrecting it. I’ve always been a fan, even when I hated the show, so I think there is definitely something there worth resurrecting. Before I go into what I would do with the show, I first want to highlight what the show’s strengths were:
Linden and Holder. Even people who were “hate watching” the show would cite the strongest element the show had going for it was its lead detectives. They were the best pairing—both in writing and acting—since Mulder and Scully. They were interesting and unique as individuals and as a pair with both contrasting and complimentary characteristics. Quiet and still Linden contrasted so well with skittish and faux-gangsta Holder. Both were very good at and dedicated to their jobs but still teenagers in their personal lives, a testament to how much energy their jobs take up. It was a wonder to watch them work. I especially liked that this male-female detective partnership had undeniable chemistry but not a sexual chemistry. There was no will-they-won’t-they dynamic which is getting so tired in procedural television. This more brother-sisterly chemistry between Linden and Holder is new and interesting. The performances by Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman were stellar and routinely noted by critics as awards-worthy. So the first thing I would keep would be Mireille Enos and Joel Kinnaman. Without them, there’s no point in saving The Killing.
The non-case-of-the-week format. Sure they dragged out the only case these two magnetic detectives had to solve for far too long. But they did have something interesting in the beginning. The deeper exploration of what happens to a family, a city and the people catching a killer when a teenage girl is murdered is new and definitely compelling. The North American audience has gotten too used to the cheap one hour murder-solving jobs. I would keep the longer, deeper format that justifies the gravity of the subject matter. The tone and poetry. People complained that the show was too depressing but to me, that just meant we had a TV show that had a tone, a point of view. The show was melancholy and poetic and I would want to keep that intangible quality to it. Those are the show’s strengths and what any new company trying to take the show on would want to keep. But here’s what I’d do to change things. Read More

The Killing Was Never About “Who Killed Rosie Larsen?”
The backlash against The Killing’s first season finale, which did not reveal Rosie Larsen’s murderer, was not the fault of showrunner Veena Sud but of the marketing department at AMC. They gave us an empty promise they had no right to make with us. They chose to incorrectly focus their marketing strategy around the slogan/question “Who killed Rosie Larsen?” a strategy that included a website that tracked the potential suspects from within the cast. If you ignore this marketing strategy and look at the show itself, you’ll see the truth: The Killing was never about Rosie Larsen. The Killing was about what happens to a city after a murder. It is about what happens to the family of the murdered victim: how each family member reacts differently, how a younger sibling confronts the reality of death, how a mother lives on past her daughter’s death, how a father faces the truth that he failed to protect his child. It is what happens to a political campaign tied to the murder: how a murder reflects on the powers that be, how it is used as a weapon in political games, how strangers lose sight of the reality that a girl is dead. It is most primarily about the two detectives assigned to solve the murder: the toll their job takes on their mental health, their abilities to be a mother and uncle, their relationships with loved ones and co-workers. The solving of the crime is secondary and always was secondary. We are now six episodes into season two and we are following all of these characters on a journey that gives us new suspects each week. But the suspects aren’t important and I have stopped trying to piece the puzzle together. I am enjoying the journey not predicting the destination.
What we have this season is again, at its core, a portrait of a remarkably fascinating female anti-hero in detective Sarah Linden as portrayed by an anti-glamorized Mireille Enos. Enos is always absolutely magnetic even with just an unmoving stare. She’s a brave performer working seemingly without the gloss normally put on actresses and working in tightly controlled and muted subtlety, a subtlety that makes the occasional burst of emotion all the more effective. Linden is always thinking and always trying to not let her emotions get involved in her work. Both of those mental tasks take concerted effort, effort we read all over her face. I’d watch for Linden alone. Read More

5.0 out of 5 starsMahler: Symphony No 4
ByMedia Scribeon 12 September 2017
Here is the strong combination of Herbert von Karajan with his Berlin Philharmonic so that a fine interpretation of this Mahler Symphony is fairly assured. Not only are the orchestral sections played to the normal high standard but these are enhanced by the delightfully sung fourth movement by Edith Mathis, who appears to be somewhat of a specialist at this piece. If just the first and fourth movements of this symphony were heard, then the listener could be forgiven for thinking the work was naïve and childlike but the scary second movement soon changes that notion. There is more in this work than at first appears.

Arrived promptly Good recording
5.0 out of 5 starsKarajan's best Mahler?
ByT. Graffon 17 April 2012
ByFuenterinoon 16 February 2016
I must confess that, despite owning this CD and despite being a huge admirer of Herbert von Karajan, I had totally underestimated this performance. Karajan was just not a "great" Mahler conductor, he did not really "know" Mahler, came to Mahler late in life and so on. So, when it came to Mahler, I always tended to look elsewhere, especially towards the wonderful Bernard Haitink and, of course, Lenny; "Mr. Mahler."·
That would be quite a serious mistake. Karajan may have died before even beginning his contracted Mahler cycle for DG but he had already done some good stuff. I have a tape of a radio broadcast of the Mahler 6 from Salzburg which is very, very different from his studio recording and one of the best Mahler performances I have ever heard. The Berlin Philharmonic has a "Mahler" sound, not a Karajan sound! It is the best of my numerous recordings of Mahler 6. There was also a quite sensational live recording of the Mahler 5 from Berlin. And, of course, the award winning Mahler 9th. So Karajan may not be the first conductor you think of when planning to buy Mahler but, as I suppose one would expect from one of the greatest conductors in history, he was certainly "getting there" and some of his Mahler was truly exceptional. Given time, he would probably have swept the board, as he did in so much other music.
As I say, even though I own the disk, I had underestimated this performance, partly because Haitink and Abbado are more exciting in the First Movement - a bit too vulgar and earthy for Karajan ! But, listening to it again, I find it a really special and magical performance. I have no idea how Karajan does what he does (nor, incidentally, did the then leader of the Berlin Philharmonic, Michel Schwalbé !) but in the slow movement and the last movement, Karajan creates a calm and stillness and beauty that totally cracks you up ! This guy is a magician ! How can you make an orchestra of 100 people just hang in mid-air for God's sake ? It is incredible.
This now goes to to the top of my list for the Mahler 4th, even if I prefer other performances of the First Movement. Karajan achieves real magic. And, of course, the Berlin Philharmonic play supernaturally. It is a great shame and loss that Karajan never lived to complete - or even begin, really- his Mahler Cycle. One senses that Karajan really did not really like Mahler initially. But it seems clear that he was "getting in to it." The performances were getting better and better. I would have loved to have heard a Karajan Mahler First, although I hope he could have been persuaded, even before the Berlin Bust-Up, to use the Vienna Philharmonic for the First; those were the sounds that Mahler heard ! Lucky Man !! How many people have the choice ?
But I cannot imagine that anybody would be disappointed with this Mahler Fourth; a "child's view of Heaven" that takes you to Heaven ! A "Desert Island Disk"
5.0 out of 5 starsSoul-piercing
Although taken as a whole this is Mahler's most serene symphony, there is a subtle drama to it that you have to allow time to become clear. And Karajan was a master of drama, understanding that to express emotion most truly you have to contain it.
The pace and dynamics are controlled but never mechanical or lugubrious. And though I love the whole of this symphony, I have to say that Karajan's rendition of the slow third movement sends shivers down my spine every time I hear it. For me, its yearning melancholy surpasses in power that of the "Death in Venice" movement of the 5th symphony, and I can't for the life of me think why it's not better known. Never mind: it's here, and it's perfect.
5.0 out of 5 starsA beautiful rendition
ByThropeon 9 April 2008
I have lived with this recording since the days of vinyl. Along with my (very different) George Szell 1960s recording, it is indispensable.
The BPO put us in a warm, shimmering affectionate sound-world and Edith Mathis is sublime in the finale.
Karajan came late to Mahler believing that one had to be ready for this composer - it was worth the wait!
5.0 out of 5 starsMahler Symphony No.4 Conductor-Herbert von Karajan
ByGeronimoon 22 October 2010
The recording was as expected, brilliant. Deutsche Gramaphon recording standards are always IMHO of the highest quality. Although this was not rated the highest by the reviewers I am completely satisfied with my purchase.
4.0 out of 5 starsThe third movement is probably the best recorded rendition of this symphony
ByJayTeeDeeon 11 July 2016
The third movement is probably the best recorded rendition of this symphony, the unhurried and perfectly paced interpretation is timeless and beautifully sad. After listening to this this every other recording sounds like a shallow, jolly rush to the end.

Ina, zaRomantische reis
Idyllic location but poorly maintained restaurant and bar. Staff in restaurant and bar have a bad attitude and general feeling is that you’re presence is burdensome. Front desk staff and cleaners were brilliant however. Food was reused from breakfast for a la carte meals in the evening. Both my partner and I got food poisoning, I suspect from re-heated rice. Beach could be lovely but was not well maintained and littered. Overall felt that staff and locals were after ripping you off at any opportunity and not looking after their country, which is a shame.

Relax at Tongsai
So this is my issue with this hotel. When I was booking this place I never saw anywhere giving you an advise that this hotel was in a remote area. After arriving from Phuket by ferry I had to take another boat to Railay. When I thought we were done, me and my husband that does speak Thai we're looking the famous hotel everywhere but after getting al wet with the heavy rain a very nice staff from a hotel called railey bay resort told us that we needed to take another boat to tonsai. After almost 30 minutes we found a boat rider that charged us 100b but we have to drag our bags to the far end for a 4 min ride. When finally we saw the hotel driver didn't want to drop us off on front, we have to once again drag our bags thru the sand till the hotel. At this point we were so tired but we didn't have other options. Finally we arrived to front desk, kind of far from pier, checking was smooth and staff were nice but the more bad news were coming, NO electricity from 9am until 5pm. I literally wanna to explode of furious but my husband calmed me down. I was very disappointed for everything, why can they just have a little boat at least from railey to the hotel it's common sense if you are in a remote area. Why no electricity because you are in low season ?? Why we gotta be affected Just have a power plan. We have to leave the next day back to mainland since that place was awful and empty without things to do except the beach and rock climbing. No recommended for my taste.
We've stayed several times and the new bungalows are amazing. The older do need a refurb but overall nice friendly staff and beautiful locale.

Nonstick 4-cup Egg Poacher Fry Pan with Glass Lid - Free Shipping On Orders Over $45 - Overstock.com - 13650648
Eggs slide out easily. Has not rusted
$33.32 - $34.45
The rack that holds the poaching cups fits the pan very loosely and the lid does not fit the pan when the rack is in place. Seeing as how this is supposed to be an egg poacher, the fact that the lid does not fit pretty much defeats the purpose. Either the pan, the rack, or the lid is out of round and none of the pieces seem to fit together. Totally not worth the $*.

‘Boardwalk Empire’s’ pitch-perfect goodbye - The Washington Post
Steve Buscemi in “Boardwalk Empire.” (Macall B. Polay/HBO)
In the talk about how television has improved over the last two decades, viewers often forget to credit a slight shift in industry etiquette that made cancellation a kinder, more creative process — at least in some cases. Good manners can make good TV series, and it’s hard to think of anything more respectful than giving a showrunner one last season, even after the buzz has faded to a distant hum, to wrap his or her story up definitively and artistically. It’s a kindness that rarely involves the word “canceled.”
Nothing’s canceled anymore, even when it is. Though the practice is increasingly common on broadcast networks (“Parenthood,” “Parks and Recreation” and “The Mentalist” are all being gently concluded rather than taken out back and shot), premium cable networks have become the real experts at these end-of-life “final season” rituals because they can afford to extend the favor.
The noble death thing is not always successful. It depends on the attitude of the show’s producers, writers and cast: Will “the end” become a forced march of contractual obligation or will the show take this opportunity to outdo its best work? A couple of recent examples of squandered epilogues would include the final seasons of HBO’s “True Blood,” which took the chicken-without-a-head approach, and the network’s New Orleans drama, “Treme,” which acquiesced to its more sentimental impulses instead of departing on a surprising or even memorable note.
“Boardwalk Empire,” Terence Winter’s consistently downbeat yet exquisite attempt to fictionalize the rise of organized crime during Prohibition, will conclude its fifth and final season Sunday night on HBO.
(Here’s the usual spoiler alert: If you’re not caught up through the Oct. 19 episode, be warned that I’ll be making some specific references to what’s happened.)
The network gave Winter and his colleagues — a long list of top-tier writers/producers that includes Howard Korder and directors such as Martin Scorsese, Tim Van Patten and Allen Coulter — just eight episodes to braid the loose ends together and wrap up a story that has slowly grown to epic proportions, all of it in grand orbit around Steve Buscemi’s unforgettable performance as Enoch “Nucky” Thompson.
Rather than blow off excess steam and merely deliver a body count, the writing and acting in season 5’s episodes have surpassed “Boardwalk Empire’s” usual high standards, offering a pitch-perfect conclusion to a story that is surprisingly human in a world that’s been intentionally strewn with subhuman behavior. After using the context of actual crime history (Al Capone, Lucky Luciano, Meyer Lansky, et al.) to expand its tale from Atlantic City to Chicago, New York, Florida and even Cuba, “Boardwalk Empire” has now retracted to what it perhaps always meant to be: a rumination on the state of Nucky’s soul.
That’s not to say that “Boardwalk Empire” looks as if it intends to end on a sappy note; it’s also had plenty of what both the casual and devoted viewer expect: Lots of people have been shot in the head, the neck, the chest. So long, then, to Nelson Van Alden/George Mueller (Michael Shannon), Chalky White (Michael Kenneth Williams), Mickey Doyle (Paul Sparks) and Sally Wheet (Patricia Arquette). It goes without saying that “Boardwalk Empire” was a relentlessly violent show, befitting its genre.
It was also macho. This didn’t mean that the show was necessarily misogynist (and when it was, it could fall back on historical precedent as an excuse) or without female fans (I happen to know many women who’ve followed each season faithfully), but it does mean that the show asked viewers to care primarily about the men portrayed in it.
The women of “Boardwalk Empire” (most notably Gretchen Mol as Gillian Darmody and Kelly Macdonald as Margaret Schroeder Thompson) gave superb performances when called upon to do so and yet were never given the prominence they should have had.
And, while we’re on the subject of manliness, there was Winters’s resolute choice for “Boardwalk Empire’s” theme song, a bluesy 1990s instrumental riff from a band called the Brian Jonestown Massacre, which struck many as a strangely anachronistic way to open a show that lavished attention on its 1920s-’30s period details. I found the theme to “Boardwalk Empire” to be sonically and almost unbearably masculine, like the music from ads for erectile-dysfunction pills. It’s a sound I will forever equate with the concentration “Boardwalk Empire” demanded of its viewers, asking them to follow along as a parade of nearly indistinguishable thugs and crime bosses in suits rushed past.
“Boardwalk Empire” was a hard sell. There was seldom anyone to root for, fully — especially after the death of its best and most compelling character, Richard Harrow (Jack Huston), a facially disfigured World War I veteran who took up, and then tried to turn away from, the coldness of criminal life.
I half expect to be hearing from readers years from now who will discover “Boardwalk Empire” in hindsight and set out to “inform” the rest of us of about it, long after we begged them to watch. Politely we’ll have to tell them: Just wait until you get to the last season. In some ways, it’s the best.
1 Jumping ahead can put flourish on a finish. To get where they needed to go, Winter and his co-writers boldly pressed the fast-forward button, shifting the story ahead seven years to 1931. This meant they skipped over stuff that might have been included in more seasons of the show, had it ever become the surefire, post-“Sopranos” hit that HBO hoped for. Because the show is a work of historical fiction (loosely so), this deprived viewers of some events between 1924-ish and 1931-ish that we might have liked to have seen, such as the 1928 assassination of New York gangster Arnold Rothstein (Michael Stuhlbarg).
No matter. Moving ahead gave “Boardwalk Empire” renewed momentum. Characters had aged in the intervening years: Nucky began to see the futility of sustaining a criminal enterprise beyond Prohibition. Gillian sat in an insane asylum for those years; Margaret started her life over in New York; Chalky White endured prison and hard labor. This should be Step 1 for writers faced with the certainty of a final season: Consider moving the story ahead five or 10 years. It’s almost like imagining what the reunion show or series reboot would have been like. (Hey, it sort of worked for “How I Met Your Mother.”)
2 Flashbacks can still be a powerful storytelling tool. When this season began, some fans grumbled that, in addition to flashing forward, “Boardwalk Empire” had taken the flashback route, putting us in the late 19th century for the somewhat depressing misadventures of the young, neglected Enoch Thompson (Nolan Lyons), whose honesty slowly erodes as he begins to work for Atlantic City’s sheriff and first encounters the nefarious (and pedophilic, it turns out) Commodore.
Flashbacks get old, and too many shows use them too much. But within a few episodes, it became clear that “Boardwalk Empire’s” flashbacks were being offered almost as a gift to its most ardent fans, particularly as Marc Pickering (a dead-ringer for a younger Steve Buscemi) took over the role as Nucky as young sheriff’s deputy married to his first love, Mabel (Maya Kazan), and falling inexorably into the darkness that will define him.
3 The art of keeping one last secret. Will Nucky die in the final episode? Will he be somehow redeemed? Does he need to be, really? (Would “rescuing” Gillian from the asylum suffice?) Is “Joe Harper,” the strangely well-mannered kid who has been hanging around Nucky’s operation, merely there to act as an analog to young Nucky, reminding the older Nucky (and viewers) of the meaning of innocence? Or is the kid in fact Tommy Darmody (as so many fans have hoped), the orphaned son of Jimmy (Michael Pitt)? If so, is he back for closure or revenge or neither?
Every great story keeps a few secrets to itself. In a season of spilling truth along with the blood, “Boardwalk Empire” has filled in many of its blanks, but not all of them. It would be fitting, somehow, if this show that deserved many more viewers and much more attention would creep away quietly — even ambiguously — leaving us wanting that little bit more that we’ll never get.
Boardwalk Empire (one hour) series finale airs Sunday at 9 p.m. on HBO.

Umi-sama: 23 September 2016
"You cannot step into the same river twice, for fresh waters are ever flowing in."
- Greek philosopher Heraclitus -
Our personal thoughts make waves in time and space like falling rain upon the ocean. Where everything is connected, opposites cannot exists, cold and warm are just different forms of temperature. Life is a circle and one chooses where one wants to be along its border. And as one breaths and thinks, one shifts. Everything changes, nothing lasts forever; all things have the power to create and destruct. The universe is giving and receiving; a motion that is in everything. To create one has to master this art of motion. A Hindu legend tells an interesting story about this motion:
Once upon a time there was a boy who lived high in the mountains. He had overheard stories from villagers about riches of both the mind and physique. And one day he asked his master: "How does one obtain unlimited wealth?" To this the old man replied, "Inside every one of us live two goddesses: one is named Lakshmi and the other Saraswati Everyone respects and loves these beings, but there is a secret that you must know: in order to obtain unlimited wealth one must pay more attention to Saraswati, the goddess of wisdom and self-knowledge, than to Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, both spiritual and physical. By doing so Lakshmi will become extremely jealous and will start to give you more and more attention. Thus, the more attention you pay to Saraswati the more jealous Lakshmi will get and the more wealth you will receive." Food, laughter and storytelling are the things that fill my days. My sister and I are up and about almost every Tuesday to sew and talk with a big pot of tea. The Tuesday I took this photo our mother brought us lunch, it was the first time the four of us were together. My baby niece, Mira, was lying on the podium mesmerized, watching her surroundings and listening to our voices. She is the sweetest creature I have ever held in my arms.
It has been about two months since I traded the quiet East for the busy West. I came back to the sea, the wind and my family. There is nothing that I miss more than the trees and the high pitched chirping of the crickets in the grass underneath my old bedroom, but the salt in the air makes me forget that other, slow moving, world. So I move forward, fast, along the vague outlines of the path of my new life. It feels like running, running at one place while everything passes me by, while at other times it feels like I stand still, while the world slowly moves to change my view. Nowadays I hear the sounds of children's laughter, dog barks and a tram moving trough the streets. Living on the 19th floor, I gained a new perspective, a lighter view on the world. My thoughts move trough the clouds, reaching towards the light waiting for the wind to take the dust away. I hope the water of the sea will further rinse my physique and that the wind will air my spirit. "To be, or not to be."
"True courage is about being honest with yourself." - Mr. Robot - Der Brocken

Education | The Villages Group: Cooperation in Israel-Palestine
September 3, 2015 – 10:53 am
Officers of the civil administration of the occupation army came recently to Umm al-Kheir cluster near the fence of Carmel settlement. The officers said to the locals that they intend to to demolish in the short run, most of the structures in the place that were built in replacement for the structures demolished last October (check: https://villagesgroup.wordpress.com/2014/10/29/house-demolitions-in-umm-al-kheir/). In the meanwhile in the same cluster, Na’ama Hadhalin, a teacher and local activist, organized, with the help of her husband Eid and high school students,a summer camp for the children who experience, since they were born, the anxiety and uncertainty of those whose houses are been demolished again and again. The summer camp was sponsored by the British Shalom-Salaam Trust (http://www.bsst.org.uk/). Eyal Shani of the Villages Group held Tai Chi workshop for the children in the summer camp. Below is a report by Na’ama – the summer camp organizer and some photos she attached from the summer camp’s activities.
Letter from Na’ama Hadhalin, in charge of the Umm al-Kheir summer children’s camp
To begin, on behalf of myself and the villagers of Umm al-Kheir, I would like to thank all of you who helped this summer camp in which our children spent an enjoyable and delicious time this season.
We began our activity on the third day of the Eid al-Fitr holiday, July 19, 2015. On the first day, the camp’s outfit were distributed and the children were divided into three groups led by the three volunteers of the camp, according to their age groups – from 4- to 15-years old, aimed at their respective activities. We began by preparing holiday greeting cards. Activities were geared for fun, learning and the arts. We also enjoyed some drama, puppet theater, singing, drawing, puzzles and more, alongside talks about morality values, tolerance, honesty and cleanliness.
On July 27, a trip was held in which the villagers of Umm al-Kheir participated. It was a special occasion in which we- including the adults among us – breathed some enjoyable free air and holiday spirit. On July 28 the camp’s ending ceremony was held with the parents from Umm al-Kheir attending as well as a group of young people from Sweden. School bags were handed out as well as writing materials for the children who had taken part in the camp.
Finally, I would like to express heartfelt thanks on behalf of myself – Na’ama, the camp volunteers and all of Umm al-Kheir’s inhabitants and children. Thank you for having enabled us to give our children a chance to spend some very enjoyable time during an especially long summer vacation. Our children eagerly waited for this vacation in order to be able to participate in the summer camp that you supported and helped bring about.
Thank you for your humaneness and love, and your solidarity with us.
Yours sincerely, Na’ama Hadhalin

The opening of the new school year in September also marked the reopening of Salem’s Music Centre for children. During the last year or so, in which it has been closed, the Centre reorganized, attained an official recognition from the Palestinian Authority and moved from the local council building to a house it rented in the village. The Centre’s devoted visionary and initiator Jubier Shtayeh and the gifted teacher Amid Jamus – remain the core staff. Acknowledging these improvements and the attainment of a better organizational footing, the Villages Group reaffirms its commitment to this important institution (see attached photos from our recent visit in the centre).
Music education is increasingly prevalent in the urban sector of the Palestinian society. Unfortunately, this much needed form of education is still absent, to a large extent, in Palestinian rural communities. Salem’s Music Center is a rare and unique exception to this rule. It was conceived and is nurtured not through the efforts of well-established and well-known NGOs or patrons, but thanks to devoted grassroots field work of Palestinians and Israelis, as well as donations from individuals worldwide.
We are appealing to you to join us in this endeavor of peace and empowerment and to enable a new generation of children in the village of Salem to obtain the gift of music education.
Please watch the following short video from 2009 to learn more about our motivation for initiating and sustaining the music centre in Salem. The need to keep Salem’s Music Centre going is as relevant and pressing today as it was five years ago:

Last Thursday we were driving in the Jeep in the main area of the cave dwellers in south Mt. Hebron. The locals call it Massfarat Yatta (or Massafer Yatta, i.e Yatta’s frontier). The occupiers call it Military Zone 918. The different names tell it all: It’s the difference between life and death, between peace and war.
The weather was excellent and the scenery was beautiful – a desert area a few weeks after a great rainfall. Another great sight was the Comet-Me wind turbines arising from some of the Massfara’s hamlets. From a hill in the middle of the Massfara you can see how complicated this area is: the few small hamlets in it are divided to clusters and are very vulnerable to both the army and settlers’ invasions. Indeed, settlers from the outpost of Mizphe Yair invaded Beer al-Ed, one of those hamlets, on that very same day.
Our mission in the Massfara was to bring a considerable donation collected by our friends in Rhode Island for the sake of supporting the studies of two women students, Ruwan and Arwa, from the hamlet of al-Fakhit. While Ruwan was still in university in Hebron on the day we came, Arwa was already in the middle term vacation. Studying nursing in the University of Bethlehem, Arwa is the only representative of Yatta’s area in this university. We are dealing with supporting students in south Mt. Hebron for seven years now. During those years we came to understand how complicated it is to be involved in this matter. The many obstacles and difficulties we encounter are bringing us to the verge of despair. What keep us hanging on is the seriousness and the devotion of students like Arwa, and the great and ongoing support we receive from our friends abroad. The next stop in our weekly visit this time was the hamlet of al-Mufaqara, where we had the opportunity to meet another student supported by us – Sausan. Sausan is a young woman who (as some of you may remember) was arrested and spent 10 days in a cell in a police jail in Jerusalem after her house was demolished, about two years ago. Now, with our encouragement, she initiates enrichment sessions with kids from al-Mufaqara, exposing them to topics they won’t encounter in school. Indeed, Sausan, with her exceptional personality, is setting an example for what a student can do for his/her community during the period of studies. The last stop in our visit this time was in the village of al-Tuwani. At Umm Jum’a’s house, Erella was sitting with Nasser from Susiya and Jum’a from al-Tuwani to discuss the practicalities of the workshop the veterinarian Gabi scheduled for the following week. Outside, Jum’a’s son was revealing to us the secret of it all with his ‘do it yourself’ object (see the photos attached). Between Massafer Yatta and Military Zone 918, between life and death, we choose to continue coming in contact with life pole of this area. Between Massafer Yatta and Military Zone 918, between life and death, we choose to continue coming in contact with life pole of this area.

The first part of this post, an account of Salem’s music center 2011 end-of-year concert held recently in the village municipality building, was written by Ikhlas (Yasmin) Gebara, the young poet from Salem (a village just outside of Nablus). Ikhlas is sitting to the left of Erella and Ehud in the picture below.
Music is a gift for our minds and our hearts. It is a jewel that we lost and we feel happy when we find. It is the motivation that encourages us to live. It is a tool by means of which our minds and spirits operate.
By the effort of the Villages Group and members of the village, the idea of the music center materialized, converted from imagination to reality. Despite the short period since it was established, it has achieved great success and has become one of the popular centers in the village. The idea of the center started from the point of teaching children in village how to strengthen their role in society through music. In fact, the center aimed at providing a sense of pleasure since children felt that there is something they lack. So from the founders’ point of view, this lack is filled by music.
The center has been working for two years, and it was able to achieve popularity in the children’s as well as their parents’ minds. So the parents started to send their children to the center to learn how to use various musical instruments. During the last two years two groups of children graduated, and the center ended its second activity year with a concert. A big number of people attended and saw how children became creative in using musical instruments.
The event started with the coordinator of the center greeting the attendants and thanking the funders as well as the founders. Then the Palestinian national anthem was presented by the children. Then followed a series of songs which were played and sung by the pupils of the center. At the end of the concert there was a big ceremony in which the children were given certificates and the founders (who are really peace makers) were given thank-you gifts by a representative of the village council, the head of the center and a representative from the Villages Group. Eventually, although the center is still modest it seeks for more development in order to increase the number of children and to have a crucial role in developing the village as well as empowering its children. Among our aspirations, we would like to have an independent house for the music center, so the center can grow.
Ikhlas Gebara, Salem
We would have loved to end the Villages Group update from Salem here. Unfortunately, on the night between January 1 and 2 – a couple of days after the concert – the Israeli Occupation’s military forces raided the house of the Center’s founder and director, Jubeir Ishtayya. The pretext was a search for weapons. As you can see in the pictures, the soldiers caused much damage to the new home, and deeply upset Jubeir and his wife and terrified his three little children. On the following Friday, Villages Group activists paid a solidarity visit to the Ishtayya family.

South Hebron Hills Update
November 5, 2011 – 6:07 pm
About one month ago we reported to you on the state of the local schoolhouse in Palestinian Susiya as its second school year opened. Visiting the school on Thursday November 2nd, 2011, we witnessed an impressive development in the construction of the school’s permanent building. These works are undertaken as a joint initiative of the NGO Action Against Hunger/ ACF International, and the Palestinian Union of Agricultural Work Committees. For our modest part, we brought the school a laptop computer that will serve the teachers from now on (we would be grateful to receive and bring the teaching staff additional laptops). We hope that soon we shall be able to meet the teachers’ request to receive Hebrew language lessons – Erella, of our group, is considering taking this task upon herself and we hope that within a few weeks we can report to you that a weekly Hebrew course for the school teachers is already under way.
A little while before arriving at the Susiya school, we learned of yet another act of destruction inflicted by the Israeli Military Occupation’s “Civil Administration” arm. A bulldozer destroyed the power pylons that have lately been installed between the village of Al-Tuwani and the cave hamlet of Umm Faqara, as part of the infrastructure that was to connect Umm Faqara with the regional power grid. This act of destruction by the “Civil Administration” is perfectly consistent with the long-term policy exerted by the Israeli Occupation authorities, in order to prevent the connection of the cave hamlets in the South Hebron Hills to infrastructure such as water and power. The motivation underlying this policy is to deny the legitimacy of these Palestinian communities and to eventually eliminate their existence.

From David and Ehud at the Villages Group:
I am happy to tell you that Ibrahim Nawaja, who has run the Susiya creative and learning center, with great success , for almost a year (see also video below), has been accepted to Dar Al Kalima college (Arabic link) to study Documentary Film Making. This is a great opportunity for him. For those who know Ibrahim, you know what an exceptional, creative and sensitive person he is and the imagination and dedication with which he approached his role in the Susiya creative and learning center (see attachment). Ibrahim is from Susiya, a small, rural village in the South Hebron Hills in the occupied West Bank. The area is a difficult one for its Palestinian residents because of the presence of the Israeli settlers and army, and the constant pressure on residents of villages like Susiya to move away from their land. Ibrahim and others have created the Susiya center as part of their attempts to resist this situation and for their community to flourish despite the difficult circumstances. A crucial part of such projects has been the engagement of people like Ibrahim in their communities to imagine something different. Over the past few years Ibrahim has been writing poetry and running artistic activities such as theatre and improvisation workshops with the children in Susiya, bringing his creative skills in to his role as a community organiser. Ibrahim now has the opportunity now to develop his skills and to be creatively engaging in a new way.
We are trying to raise funds for Ibrahim’s tuition and part of his living expenses since he will have to move to Bethlehem. The overall cost is 3000 euros for a year. We are trying to raise 2000 Euros, and Ibrahim and his family will try and raise the remaining 1000 euros. As you read this mail, people have already pledged 800 Euros in the last few days, which will permit Ibrahim to register and be enrolled for 6 months.
foward this mail to other people who you think want to help Ibrahim.

Ehud adds:
For the past four years, the on-going aid of US-Omen has enabled us to support about 20 students from South Mt. Hebron each semester. The great majority of these students study at the branch of Al-Quds Open University located in their near home town of Yatta. The cost of the scholarships provided to each of those students, one that covers most of their tuition fees, is 500 Euros (650 Dollars) on average.
As the case of Ibraim’s studies is different and exceptional both in terms of the location of the academic institute and the overall cost, we found ourselves this time in need to bring it to our friends’ attention in a separate appeal.
One of the important aspects of the work of the Villages Group is to strengthen the communities by enabling individuals to develop and realize their abilities for themselves and their communities. This is one of the Villages Group ways of defeating the Occupation – by encouraging inner strength.

In addition to the space where you'll put your TV, it's important to consider where you'll sit while you watch it. You'll want a larger TV if you'll be viewing it from further away and a smaller one if you'll be sitting close up.If you're a TV or film buff, you'll probably get a lot of use out of a smart TV, which will allow you to stream content from providers like VUDU, YouTube, Netflix, Hulu and Vimeo. It will also be helpful to get a TV that offers lots of connectivity options for your Blu-ray player, Apple TV and other devices.
