Dissecting a Black Hole's Surroundings
Major study includes observations with NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope
29 September 2011
A fleet of spacecraft including the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has shown unprecedented details in the environs of a supermassive black hole. Observations reveal huge bullets of gas being driven away from the gravitational monster and a corona of very hot gas hovering above the disc of matter that is falling into the black hole.
A team led by Jelle Kaastra of SRON Netherlands Institute for Space Research made use of data from ESA’s XMM-Newton and Integral spacecraft (which study X-rays and gamma rays, respectively), the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (for ultraviolet observations with the COS instrument), NASA’s Chandra (X-ray) and Swift (gamma and X-ray) satellites, and the ground-based telescopes WHT and PAIRITEL.
The black hole that the team chose to study lies at the heart of the galaxy Markarian 509, 500 million light-years away. This black hole is colossal, containing 300 million times the mass of the Sun, and is growing more massive every day as it continues to feed on surrounding matter, which glows brightly as it forms a rotating disc around the hole. Markarian 509 was chosen because it is known to vary in brightness, which indicates that the flow of matter is turbulent.
Using a large number of telescopes which are sensitive to different wavelengths of light gave the team unprecedented coverage running from the infrared, through the visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and into the gamma-ray band.
The study is presented in a series of seven papers in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, with more expected to be published in coming months.
A full account of the research can be read on the SRON website.
This research was presented in a series of seven papers in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.

About the Announcement


text:
Mulcahy, the former front man of indie rockers Miracle Legion, opens the notes with these beautiful, tragic lines: "Melissa Rich was my wife. She died last year. We were in love and happy. We had become one thing, our own secret inside the world we invented. We knew that we were lucky."
Melissa's unexpected death in September of last year left Mark with the task of trying to continue his musical career (He last released a solo album in 2005) while trying to raise their twin three-year-old daughters by himself.
And that's where a few friends have stepped in. Even some seasoned indie rock fans are unfamiliar with Mulcahy's work, but they aren't unfamiliar with his friends and those he's influenced. With names like Thom Yorke, Michael Stipe, Frank Black, The National, Dinosaur Jr. and Juliana Hatfield in the lineup, this tribute album certainly deserves attention.
Ciao My Shining Star, released Sept. 29 by Shout! Factory, is 21 diverse tracks by 21 diverse artists. All the songs are written or co-written by Mulcahy, but they are taken in so many directions. All proceeds from the album will benefit Mulcahy and his daughters.
The range of Mulcahy's songwriting ability can be seen in the directions the other artists take his music. Yorke takes "All for the Best" and makes a nice electronic track that could have fit nicely on a number of Radiohead albums. In contrast, the dobro on Ben Kweller's version of "Wake Up Whispering" gives the song a feel of the Appalachians.
Dinosaur Jr.'s track, "The Backyard" sounds like a J. Mascis original with the band's reworking of it. Rocket from the Tombs takes "In Pursuit of Your Happiness" and makes a blaring Tom Waits-ian number.
The album is a strong collection that one can hope will benefit Mulcahy and his daughters in two ways. It will first of all benefit them directly through its sales. The second could be renewed interest in the Mulcahy's originals.
The strength of the tracks don't simply come from the artists performing them. Even in the voices of others, Mulcahy shines through as a touching, poetic and highly personal songwriter. Hopefully, the strength of standout tracks like Josh Rouse's "I Woke Up In the Mayflower," The National's "Ashamed of the Story I Told" and Hatfield's "We're Not In Charleston Anymore" will move listeners to seek out the originals.
"We had planned to be together always, but always has come early," Mulcahy writes of Melissa. This same honesty of emotion shines through in his lyrics.
My spin: B+
The lineup alone on Ciao My Shining Star shows it a record worthy of purchase. The people Mulcahy has influenced also shows him to be an artist worthy of a closer look, whether it be his work with Miracle Legion or Polaris or his solo albums.
Add to the 21 on the album, 20 more tracks on the digital-only deluxe version of the album, and we see Mulcahy's sphere of influence to be even wider.
The indie rock world is listening to Mulcahy. Why aren't we?

“My Zoom meeting finished early; I’ll come catch another wave,” I overheard the girl at the neighboring table say, presumably to her surf buddy on the other end of the line. She wore her blonde locks in a salt-frizzled bun and shoved her laptop into a tote that read “Create Your Own Sunshine.”
We hardly needed to. The Sri Lankan sun beamed down on my shoulders, while a whisper of sea breeze rustled the leaves overhead. From my seat at a cliffside café in Hiriketiya, a buzzy south-coast surfers’ hideout lined with coconut trees and candy-striped umbrellas, I looked out over a Rothko of blue on blue: a cloudless sky on top, the Indian Ocean below. After almost two years cooped up at home in Bangkok, it was exactly what I needed.
I last visited Sri Lanka in February 2020, right before the pandemic forced the world into lockdown. I fell in love with the country all over again: the welcoming people, the spectacular landscape, the giddy fact that I could eat breakfast “hoppers” – lacy coconut crepes served with curry and sambol – with my bare hands.
I’m far from the only one to fall under its spell. “Sri Lanka’s diverse scenery and serenity make me want to return time and time again,” says Virtuoso travel advisor Elli Beck, who last visited in 2019. “There are gorgeous beaches on the one hand, mountains and beautiful lakes on the other – all sprinkled with wildlife sightings, tea plantations, ancient fortresses, and lots of hiking trails.”
On an island a bit larger than West Virginia, Sri Lanka packs in a lot. Yet it doesn’t hit travelers with sensory overload like its northern neighbor, India, often does, and it delivers more mental stimulation than a sun-and-sand break in the Maldives to the southwest. So for my first post-lockdown holiday, I took an eight-day road-trip adventure, organized with the help of The Fabulous Getaway, one of Virtuoso’s on-site tour connections in the country. The route, a leisurely loop from Colombo along the south coast and back through the Hill Country, provides an excellent way to sample Sri Lanka’s highlights.
After landing in Colombo, it’s best to set out for Galle the same day. Roughly a two-hour drive from the capital, Galle’s seventeenth-century fort, National Museum, and former hospital (now home to a cluster of trendy restaurants) stand as relics of the country’s Dutch colonial past and provide a more walkable and less hectic setting to recover from long flights. Kids play cricket in the shade of twisting rain trees on its Court Square, while the odd peacock looks on from branches overhead. A tangle of lanes weave from its fortified corners past bistros and galleries in fixed-up godowns (warehouses). On my last visit they heaved with tourists, but this time, young Sri Lankan couples, dripping in jewels for wedding photo shoots, outnumbered visitors.
From Galle, it’s a 30-minute drive east to Ahangama, a palm-tufted beach town where waves teem with surfers at dawn, and where stilt fishers take over at sunset to catch herring and mackerel with rods made from the spines of toddy palm trees. Away from the main road’s buzzing tuk-tuks, frangipani-scented lanes snake inland to rice paddies and patches of untamed jungle. Here, nine-to-five escapees from Colombo and expats from abroad have transformed gingerbread-trimmed villas into yoga salas, vegan bistros, and surf boot camps.
Ahangama clings to its cusp-of-discovery vibe, reminiscent of Bali or Australia’s Byron Bay before they became boho boomtowns. “People here haven’t broken the law yet,” Colombo transplant Ravi Bandaranaike explained over Lion lagers in the lush garden of Trax, the café and music venue he and industry friends from the capital city opened last year. The comment was in reference to the Sri Lankan law against high-rise construction. Elsewhere along the south coast, he said, local authorities have succumbed to bribery and the profits of overdevelopment. Sure, Ahangama’s community of downward-dog-stretching, wave-chasing – and now, remote-working – residents has grown exponentially over the past five years, but there’s still a welcome absence of souvenir kitsch and megaresorts.
The straight shot from Ahangama to Tangalle takes a couple of hours. Realistically, plan for at least half a day – to stop for fresh coconuts from roadside stalls, for rice and curry at holes-in-the-wall overlooking the ocean, for walks on some of the countless caramel-colored beaches strung along the coast like shells on a surfer’s bracelet. One don’t-miss recommendation: Dondra, a quiet settlement on the island’s southernmost tip, where a nineteenth-century lighthouse stands sentinel on a rocky headland and stealthy macaques nab fruit from front yards, and where a troupe of friendly fishermen invited me on a day out at sea. (I still regret declining.)
Roughly ten miles east at Smoke & Bitters in Hiriketiya, London-born Sri Lankan Don Ranasinghe shakes up cocktails from house-made orgeat, calamansi liqueur, and chai rum infused with cardamom, clove, and cinnamon from his neighbor’s backyard. (Along with Botanik in Colombo, it was the first Sri Lankan bar to make it onto Asia’s 50 Best Bars list.) Five years ago, Hiri, as the beach town is affectionately called, was still a whisper in surfers’ circles. Now, coworking spaces and boutiques have opened, and it feels a few years ahead of Ahangama on the Bali-Byron curve.
Sri Lanka’s southern coast lays claim to two Aman resorts: Amangalla in Galle channels the town’s colonial past through antiques and stately dining rooms, while Tangalle’s beachfront oasis of Amanwella takes a more contemporary turn. Its villas, with designs inspired by the tropical modernism movement that blossomed out of Sri Lanka, come with private pools and airy bedrooms, where guests (at least this one) can watch fireflies light up the surrounding palms as they doze off to the roar of restless surf. Tangalle is do-nothing territory; there’s a bird-rich lagoon and nature reserves, but people really come here for the beaches. Guests at Amanwella needn’t look far: The resort hugs a crescent of near-deserted sand, with a private beach club serving Mediterranean-tinged lunches and homemade ice cream beneath skinny coconut trees.
While beaches are the main draw in Sri Lanka’s south, Yala National Park, roughly 50 miles east of Tangalle, attracts travelers for wildlife and day-trip safaris. Sri Lanka’s second-largest wildlife reserve occupies much of the island’s southeastern plains, an expanse of low-slung jungles and boulder-strewn grasslands where dirt tracks are often more potholes than road – I had to cling to my seat to avoid being launched through the Toyota Land Cruiser’s canvas roof.
“Buffalo,” said my guide, Sunil, nodding at a herd in the distance. He spotted a family of wild boar hidden in the jungle fringe and crocodiles lurking in its murky ponds, and pointed out a crested serpent eagle almost invisible in a treetop ahead. Suddenly, Sunil slammed on the brakes: An elephant mother and her tuk-tuk-size bambino emerged from the thicket just a trunk’s length ahead of us – two of some 300 Sri Lankan elephants that roam the park.
Pre-pandemic, they’d be tracked by a handful of Jeeps (on busy days, up to 700 safari vehicles passed through the gates). Now it was just us and them, in blissful silence. The mother stopped, threw us half a stare, and vanished back into the bushes. The small one, however, curiously inched closer. I asked Sunil if mom could become dangerous, with us so close to her offspring. “Not really,” he said. “Unless you meet her in a bad mood.”
While our car’s shadow lengthened, Yala kept on giving: a bigger herd of elephants crossing the road, a couple of great hornbills playing hide-and-seek in a tree overhead, and, at the end of the day, the star of the park: a leopard soaking up the last rays of sun.
Rather than doubling back along the coast to Colombo, from Yala, head inland to the Hill Country, the island’s undulating, jungle-covered heart. This is the cradle of Ceylon tea, imported from China by British colonizers in the mid-1800s and now one of the country’s main export commodities. On my last visit, I traversed this mountainscape on a rickety local train from Ella to Kandy, two charming hill stations surrounded by rolling tea plantations. The journey is known as one of the world’s most iconic rail trips, but for comfort, this time around I followed a similar route by car.
From roads as twisting as the Sinhalese script, the views are no less enticing. Around me, swollen waterfalls poured from cliffs, and plants emerged from every crack and crevice. In villages, tarpaulin-covered stalls brimmed with backyard-grown beans, chard, radishes, and curly kale. And everywhere, troupes of sari-ed tea pluckers dotted the hillsides like Funfetti on a matcha ice-cream scoop.
Pulling back into Colombo, I reflected on the week of surfing, safari-ing, and sauntering through tea plantations – a proposition few destinations can deliver. Still, so much more awaits on return visits, like chasing waves along the east coast or exploring kaleidoscopic Hindu temples up north in Jaffna. And therein lies Sri Lanka’s appeal: After three trips to the tiny island country, it seems like I’ve only scratched the surface.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a form of psychotherapy that was developed in the late 1980s. It began with eye movement but later expanded to include other forms of "bilateral stimulation," moving from one side of the brain/body to the other.
It has been highly researched and it works for so many things. It is known for trauma, but trauma is how our bodies respond to events, and information is stored in our nervous system. I discussed that some here. EMDR is worth trying for so many mental health symptoms. I was trained in 2016 and have been a certified EMDR therapist since 2018. You can read more at EMDR International Association, as well as here.
What is EMDR Therapy?
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for trauma treatment. EMDR consists of standardized protocols that incorporate elements from various therapeutic approaches.
How does EMDR work?
EMDR therapy is an integrative psychotherapy method that employs a technique called bilateral stimulation to repeatedly activate opposite sides of the brain. Therapists often use eye movements to facilitate bilateral stimulation, which mimics the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep period during which the mind processes recent life events.
EMDR seems to help the brain reprocess the trapped memories in such a way that normal information processing is resumed. Therapists often use EMDR to help clients uncover and process beliefs that developed as the result of relational traumas, or childhood abuse and/or neglect. For a more detailed explanation please visit the EMDR Institute, Inc.
What does EMDR help?
EMDR had been originally established as helpful for PTSD, although it’s been proven useful for treatment in the following conditions:
- Panic Attacks
- Complicated Grief
- Dissociative Orders
- Disturbing Memories
- Pain Disorders
- Performance Anxiety
- Stress Reduction
- Sexual and/or Physical Abuse
- Body Dysmorphic Disorders
- Personality Disorders
None of the above symptoms or experiences fit you?
Do you experience distressing emotions that appear to you, and perhaps to others, to be excessive given the current situation? Do you tend to be highly reactive to certain triggers? Is there one or more dysfunctional beliefs that you believe about yourself that on an intellectual level you know are not true?
If so, you may still be a good candidate for EMDR therapy. Contact me today for a free phone consultation to see if EMDR might help you release what no longer serves you.

Traditionally, a boarding school consists of residential living, strict schedules, and a live in staff. This structure is modeled after classic British boarding schools and has been adapted by varies cultures throughout time. Today boarding schools have evolved into facilities with individual values. Young men and their parents now have the option to attend a military, college prep, behavioral, therapeutic, or religious boarding school. Many parents are drawn to the single-sex boarding school structure, which has proven results of academic success within the students.
Choosing the right boys boarding school is dependent on the factors of why it’s up for consideration. If your teenage son is struggling academically, behaviorally, or within your family dynamic; they might require outside assistance to work through the root cause of the problem. This is where specialty boarding schools such as therapeutic facilities become useful. Obtaining professional help in a stable environment could be a life-changing path for young men who are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, serious depression, and severe ADHD.
If the young man is displaying behavioral issues such as criminal activity, sexually acting out, or serious bullying; they might be masking a more serious issue. Behavioral boarding schools focus on instilling proper values and respect into the students. This is done to ensure that these behavior issues are discontinued and the students learn to live a more functional lifestyle. Both therapeutic and behavioral boarding schools are options available to parents when they are in need of assistance with their teenage son.
However, many boarding schools are filled with bright young men that display enhanced success in the stable and safe environment. Boarding schools such as college prep facilities strive for the academic and personal achievement of the students. Due to the private nature of the schools, it becomes impossible for students to skip classes, miss assignments, or get into trouble. These boarding schools also offer a variety of sports and activities that give the students an outlet for creativity and aggression.
Whether you’re interested in sending your troubled son to a facility for at-risk teens or would like to provide him with the opportunity for further achievement; there is a type of boarding school available. While boarding schools are not a perfect fit for every student, for some it can be a useful platform for success later on in life.

Legacy’s DeMichael Walker rushed for 123 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries today against Desert Hills of St. George, but the Longhorns came up short against the defending Utah state champions, 29-14.
Walker had a 55-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and Legacy scored a special teams touchdown when A.J. Sotelo blocked a punt and Romello Pritchett returned it 30 yards for a score.
They led 14-13 late in the second quarter when Desert Hills forced Walker to fumble, returning the ball for a touchdown and taking the lead for good.
While Legacy didn’t win its season opener, coach John Isola says they have nothing to get discouraged about. They gave one of Utah’s best schools a big-time challenge.
“(The) kids fought hard. They really fought hard,” Isola said.

To say that there's a lot riding on Skyfall would be a massive understatement. Quantum of Solace was such a catastrophic wet fart – by just about everybody's admission – that it single-handedly shoved the entire Bond franchise back to the dark Die Another Day days. That's why Skyfall has gone hell for leather by hiring Sam Mendes as its director, and why it easily has the best cast of any James Bond outing, starring everyone from Ralph Fiennes to Javier Bardem. It's going to be a spectacular globe-trotting adventure the likes of which we haven't seen in years.
Or at least it was. According to reports, budgetary constraints have meant that Skyfall can no longer afford to film in five of its planned six countries. Apparently now it'll just be shot in Turkey, with the Pinewood set-makers doing their best to fudge convincing reproductions of the rest. What's more, the budget cuts now mean that much of Skyfall will be set in Bognor Regis. This isn't a joke, apparently. A deep-level source told the Mirror that "while Bognor is hardly the most exotic of locations, it is important for the franchise that they support British industry, and give something back."
And you know what? Good for Skyfall. It might seem like worrying news at first. The entire point of James Bond is to show audiences items beyond their means – from Ian Fleming teasing postwar Britain with descriptions of avocados and nectarines, to all the whistles and gizmos of the Brosnan era. Bognor Regis isn't beyond anyone's means.
But give the notion time to sink in, and it actually seems like a good idea. I don't know about you, but I'm bored of scenes where James Bond swaggers into five-star hotels and the concierge immediately recognises him. Let's have a scene in Skyfall where 007 checks into Butlins and has to plod from his chalet to the on-site Spar in a dressing gown for some milk and a Crunchie. How about a retread of the opera setpiece from Quantum of Solace, but with the Bregenz festival's open-air performance of Tosca replaced with the Les Dickens karaoke night in the White Horse pub?
I'm serious. James Bond could make flirty small talk with an exotic paramour in the Canoodle Thai Taste restaurant next to the young people's information centre. Q could knock up a cardboard pterodactyl so that Bond can adequately compete in the Birdman competition. Instead of giving 007 a swish Aston Martin, let's just hope he can make do with a Megarider ticket for the number 60 bus to Chichester. I mean it. And I literally can't wait for a climactic showdown between Craig and Bardem set against one of the quarterly Yapton and District Cottage Gardeners Society's flower shows.
Having to film Skyfall in Bognor isn't ideal, but it doesn't mean the idea shouldn't be embraced. I genuinely believe that limitations breed creativity, so I still have every hope that Skyfall will be a thumping return to form. Even if the theme tune ends up being performed on a kazoo. Let's be honest, that does seem sort of likely at this rate.


Rep. Adam Schiff is once again making an accusation against former President Donald Trump regarding the latter’s alleged involvement in ‘overturning’ the 2020 election.
But the California Democrat seems to be light on evidence, at least for now.
In an interview Sunday with CNN’s Dana Bash, Schiff made the claim that the Jan. 6 panel has the evidence to back up his allegation of Trump’s involvement but he refused to reveal it because he did not want to “get ahead of the hearing.”
Bash nevertheless, for her part, pressed Schiff several times on the supposed evidence.
Rep. Adam Schiff tells Dana Bash that he "has evidence" of Trump's involvement on January 6th, but he can't reveal it because he doesn't "want to get ahead of the hearing."
— Virginia Kruta
“Your hearing will include evidence about Trump electors in battleground states who submitted fake Electoral College ballots, even though Trump lost these states we’re talking about,” Bash began. “We have already heard campaign officials, Trump campaign officials were involved in that. Do you have evidence that the former president himself was involved?”
“Yes. We’ll show evidence of the president’s involvement in this scheme,” Schiff replied.
“We’ll also, again, show evidence about what his own lawyers came to think about this scheme,” he continued.
“And we’ll show courageous state officials who stood up and said they wouldn’t go along with this plan to either call legislatures back into session or decertify the results for Joe Biden.”
Schiff went on to claim the the electoral system only “held” because state and local officials had “upheld their oath to the Constitution” and refused to go along with the now former president.
“Just to be clear, you said you have evidence that the then president was involved in putting a fake slate of electors out there,” Bash pushed back. “Do you have evidence that he directed it?”
“You know, I don’t want to get ahead of our hearing,” Schiff replied.
“We’ll show during a hearing what the president’s role was in trying to get states to name alternate slates of electors, how that scheme depended initially on hopes that the legislatures would reconvene and bless it and he pressed forward with it anyway,” the California Democrat, who also heads up the House Intelligence Committee, said.
“Will we see he directed it?” Bash interrupted, repeating the question once Schiff finished his thought. “Will we see that he directed it?”
“I don’t want to get ahead of the role,” Schiff said again.
The Daily Wire adds:
Schiff took the same position when he accused former President Trump of colluding with Russia in the lead-up to the 2016 presidential election — often claiming that he had evidence of collusion but never revealing it publicly.
To date, there is no evidence indicating the allegation of ‘collusion’ with Russia is true.

I know you're no longer updating, but thought that you might like some hints. Love the plot and the way you altered it here and there, but just one thing: Too much Sakura.
There were a whole bunch of Shinobi you brought into the HP world, but you concentrated only on mainly Sakura, so the others might as well not be there, since they barely made an appearance - like they have their names mention and a line spoken, might as well give others bigger roles and cut out. Just a little thought. Going further into this, it's good to have a main character, but roles should be evenly spread. Everything was solely focused and for Sakura and she was too perfect and thus it was boring that everything was on Sakura, you don't see much of others, so it became somewhat not as interesting with the lack of different interactions.
But overall I love the fanfic, it's mighty great with how you really planned out your sequence of events. Love your style of writing. I'm going to hop over to read your other now

A week ago I came back from Israel and I would like to share with you. It was the most extreme and unique trip I’ve ever had in my life. God blessed the whole journey a lot. I had an idea to visit Israel but I didn’t want to be a part of an excursion program because I wanted to see people and taste the real life. So I found a volunteer program and went to Israel.
I arrived in Israel on Sunday. On the way from Ben Gurion airport to Jerusalem and I found a new friend, who said “Welcome to Israel!” Those words made me happy By the way it was Sunday (in Russian “Verbnoe voskresenie”), when Jesus entered in Jerusalem and was greeted by people with palms. So I arrived on the right day.
In the morning I had a meeting with the director of the volunteer organization, for an orientation course about the program and stay in Israel (it helped me a lot in first few days). After some rest I joined a free cooking tour and visited the real Middle East market. Beautiful, loud and crowded market!
Later on my new friend and me went to the old Jerusalem through the quarters to the Church of Holy Sepulcher and the Western Wall. We spent more then an hour at the square sitting in front of the Wall. It is the most peaceful place I’ve been.
Next day I went to Eilat and it was the most difficult day. I am really thankful to the receptionist at the hostel for kindness. Also I met another girl, who travelled and stayed at our hostel. It was nice to have a company on the Peisah evening.
In the morning I went to the coral reef and met with the staff. In the beginning I wore clothes which covers me from the head to the toes because I was afraid to be burnt Probably everybody laughed, when they saw me because it was +35 Celsius degree. Also I didn’t have my voice almost for a week. It was not easy to communicate with so weird voice. Any way little by little I got to know people at the reserve and we become friends
My work was very easy like patrolling the beach, talk with tourists and give the bags for trash. I was happy to see happy faces of the tourists while they were getting the bags. I have learned some phrases in hebrew like: Boker tov! (Good morning!). “Would you like a plastic bag?” (Tsarih sakit). Toda! (Thank you!) Hak tsameh! (Happy holidays!).
I visited the dolphin reef, the underwater observatory and had a submarine ride. Also I had the best excursion, I have ever been. I joined a russian family, which took this excursion with the snorkel masks. We were in the water all together, we supposed to look through the masks, when our guide went to the depth and pointed a fish or a coral, after he explained about it. Another unforgettable attraction is the Moises rock. It is big formation of the corals in a distance from the other corals. It is like a small underwater universe. It is very alive and colorful coral with hundred fishes around.
Days at the reserve went so fast like a blink of an eye. At the very end I did an introduction diving course, as a reward. I have discovered a beautiful world!
After Eilat, I had three days for traveling and sightseeing. So I visited the Dead Sea, Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
I have met so many interesting people from all over the world. We cooked together, shared meal, talked, laughed and hang out We shared our lives! This is the best thing of the traveling!
By the way, people told me that I didn’t see the real Israel because Eilat is almost abroad, Jerusalem – an unique city and Tel-Aviv – not common as well. So I want to come back and see the real Israel!

Researchers are to look into whether extracurricular activities such as museum trips and performing arts classes can narrow the disadvantage gap for pupils.
The Education Endowment Foundation (EEF) is funding a trial of a programme known as the Children’s University.
Nine and 10-year-olds in 150 primary schools across the UK will take part in activities outside the classroom as part of the scheme, including walking trails, gymnastics, sports, performing arts classes and trips to wildlife parks.
The trial aims to explore whether these activities have a positive impact on attainment.
In an earlier, smaller trial of Children’s University funded by the EEF, researchers found positive impacts on children’s key stage 2 maths and reading equivalent to two months’ additional progress.
They also found there were small improvements in children’s teamwork, social responsibility and aspirations.
The National Foundation for Educational Research (NFER) will independently evaluate whether the positive effects are replicated over a larger number of schools.
The EEF hopes the evidence from the trial will be used by headteachers when deciding how to allocate resources to enrichment activities in their school.
Sir Kevan Collins, chief executive of the EEF, said: “All young people deserve the chance to access a well-rounded and culturally rich education. Yet we know that those from disadvantaged backgrounds are less likely to take part in the sort of activities that Children’s University provides."
As part of the trial, each pupil will receive a “Passport to Learning” to record the activities they take part in. They will be able to choose from a range of activities, receiving a stamp in their passport when they have completed different tasks.
But Mary Bousted, joint general secretary of the National Education Union, said schools lacked the money to pay for more enrichment activities.
She said: “It is certainly the case that enrichment activities such as museum, art gallery trips, visits to parks and leisure centres, can be of great benefit to children and young people. Schools already know this and carry out such activities on a regular basis.
"The difference in the past few years is that there is simply not the money. School budgets barely stretch to the basics, such as building repairs or pens and paper, teachers and support staff. As a consequence, extra-curricular activities have had to fall by the wayside. What schools need most is to be adequately funded. That is for government to ensure, not for head teachers to try and conjure up money out of nowhere."
Alongside the Children’s University, the EEF is also launching two schemes focused on improving outcomes for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
One, known as the SEND review, aims to improve SEND provision in mainstream secondary schools by helping schools to evaluate the effectiveness of their approach. The project will be delivered by the charity Nasen and around 150 mainstream secondary schools will take part.
The second SEND programme, Headsprout Reading in Special Schools, aims to improve the reading skills of young pupils with SEND through an adaptive computer programme. Pupils will work through tasks in cartoon-based virtual worlds resembling video games.
Bangor University has already piloted the programme in special schools, and more than 100 special school have now been invited to take part in a large-scale trial of the programme for primary-aged children with SEND.
Sir Kevan said: “It is great that we’re able to announce our first two trials of programmes focused on improving outcomes for pupils with special educational needs. The attainment gap is widest for this group and the evidence we generate from these trials will provide much-needed evidence of how best to support them.”
But Dr Bousted said: “The SEND Review plans ignore the fact that schools are struggling to manage basic provision for pupils with SEND not because their provision is not effective but because of the funding crisis created by the government. Challenging schools to do more with even less resource is not the answer.”

I've been a fan of Greek and Middle Eastern food for donkey's years, and this recipe was given to me by a delightful Greek lady when I went to Greece in 1971 and have used it ever since:
2 small cucumbers - different from the longer ones as they don't contain so much liquid.salt
Fresh garlic finely hand chopped, quantities to taste.
3/4 pint thick Greek yogurt
White pepper, ground
3 - 5 tbsp chopped and crushed fresh mint leaves, according to taste
2tbsp best quality Greek olive oil.
Sprinkle the cucumber with the salt, and leave in a colander to drain for at least 1/2 hour. Crush the garlic with the salt, taste and adjust to your own liking. Mix a few tbsp yogurt with the garlic, add to the rest of the garlic, then add it all to the yogurt. Taste and adjust the seasoning to yur own taste. Then add the chopped mint and a few drops of lemon juice, stir well and serve. I've never come across a recipe for tzatziki with herbs other than mint - but the world is a funny old place, and you never know what other people have come across, or whether it works. I only know that the above recipe works for me and that's what I stick to.

Deb Albillar's Barber Shop opens in historic quarters
(Color) Chieftain photo by Mike Sweeney
Deborah Albillar has opened Deb's Barber Shop in a tiny building that once was a cabin for the Blende Auto Court.
Time was when the Blende Auto Court sat next to the Blende Liquor Store in the 1900 block of Santa Fe Drive.
That was in the 1940s when Charles DeLuca built a group of eight motel cabins Ñ plus two free-standing ones Ñ and set them back from the busy highway next to his liquor store at the intersection of Zinc.
\"The complex began about 1941,\" Charles DeLuca Jr. said Tuesday. The motor court followed a few years later.
For years, the liquor store incorporated a barber shop, but when the DeLucas remodeled in 1977, the barber shop was sacrificed for more space for the store.
Instead, they moved one of two remaining cabins from the old auto court up to the front of the lot and it became the barber shop.
It has remained one ever since, under several operators.
This month it reopened after a hiatus of several months, as \"Deb's Barber Shop,\" a trim, one-chair salon which occupies the tiny, blue-trimmed white building.
And the barber Ñ Deborah Albillar Ñ is definitely in!
\"I'm here all the time. I only take walk-ins,\" she said. \"Except permanents Ñ I schedule appointments for them.\"
Deb's is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, Monday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
No neophyte hair dresser, Ms. Albillar has 15 years experience working at longstanding Fourth Street Barbers, a shop owned by her father, Anthony Sanchez.
\"I was the first girl to work there with him,\" she points out. Also at the Fourth Street shop were, and still are, her brother Tony Jr. and sister Dessie Sanchez.
She admits it was tough to strike out on her own after so many years with the family.
But she looks at her independent venture as an expansion of the family business.
Still, \"I miss arguing with the family, especially my brother,\" she laughed.
But the shop is only in its fourth week and she says she's added 35 to 40 new customers, in addition to stalwarts who followed her to the new shop.
She decided to call her salon a barber shop because \"like barbers, I use clippers and lots of people don't today.\" One gets the idea she also did it in honor of her dad.
A graduate of Centennial High School, she attended the University of Southern Colorado for three years and worked as a paralegal at Pueblo County Legal Services before enrolling in barber college.
She joined her father in 1986.
Ms. Albillar says the stand-alone location suits her just fine, although it took good deal of painting, carpeting and yard clean up to make it shipshape.
For Charles DeLuca Jr., talking about the little building and the entire corner complex is a nostalgia trip.
The house where he was born, just east of the liquor store, is still in the family.
At one time his father owned the \"famous Silver Moon\" nightclub north of the house.
The site of the liquor store and auto court was originally the tennis courts for one of Pueblo's many smelters; he thinks it could have been the Guggenheim's. A gas station stood on the lot the liquor store now occupies.
And he appreciates Ms. Albillar's enthusiasm and drive as a tenant.
Address of Deb's Barber Shop officially is 1913 Santa Fe Drive. The phone is 253-1910.


Getting a promising new product to market can be a challenge, and this is especially true in medicine. From the earliest stages of development through to clinical trials, proving that new therapeutics work can take a lot of time and investment.
The Centre for Commercialization of Regenerative Medicine (CCRM) bridges the gap between the lab and the clinic, helping accelerate stem cell therapies to the market.
Michael May, President and CEO at CCRM, believes in the strength and pioneering role of Canadian researchers in stem cell science.
“Stem cells were discovered in Toronto,” says May. “But eventually, how do we get a return, how do we translate that excellent science into products? What we are doing with academic partners and industry partners is putting together all the pieces of the puzzle that can fill in those gaps.”
“It’s very difficult for companies to get from that initial idea to the clinic, to the patient, to an organization that is creating revenue to grow an economy,” adds Mitchel Sivilotti,
Chief Operating Officer at CCRM. “It’s a long process, particularly in the therapeutic area where a lot needs to be invested in those early stages when ideas just aren’t proven.”
However, with several stem cell therapies now starting to reach the marketplace, investors are becoming more confident, helping cement the growth of investment in regenerative medicine.
Regenerative medicine holds the promise to reach across many therapeutic areas, with stem cells being able to expand to replace damaged or diseased cells. This could include such diverse areas as spinal cord injury, leukemia, and multiple sclerosis. Stem cells can also be used in tissue engineering and the production of artificial organs.
“There’s a legacy of scientific excellence in the country,” says May. “What excites me most is that the Canadian strength in regenerative medicine will allow us to be leaders in the life sciences in a way that Canada has never been able to do before.”

As Philips moves more towards health technology, it is educating its new audience about its products, services, and processes.
For this video, Philips wanted to inform healthcare managers about its vision in connecting the healthcare world and how it is taking steps into guaranteeing data protection and safety.
The script was for a voiceover that accompanied a video animation.
The final video is not available for public domain. Below is an excerpt from the script and a couple of screenshots from the animation.
In healthcare, fast access to the right data can be crucial in saving someone’s life. But
unfortunately, collecting data can take just too long, and
care may come too late.
So imagine that clinicians could have immediate access to
all relevant data of a patient anywhere and anytime. Imagine being able to give diagnoses
faster, make better and more informed decisions, and provide personalized care, even at
home. All the while safeguarding the patient’s privacy and data security.
In fact, you don’t actually have to imagine it because that’s exactly what Royal Philips is
doing. Our daily life is getting connected online, so why shouldn’t our health be too?

Our take on the CRUX SOCGM-17 Factory Integration Adapter
Installing an aftermarket receiver in many late model GM vehicles means losing the chime that warns the door is open, along with audible safety warnings. The Crux SOCGM-17 GM Class II Data Bus Interface lets you replace the factory receiver in these vehicles and keep the door chime and all audible safety warnings.
Connect the SOCGM-17 to the wiring harness on your new car stereo, mount the module in a convenient location, and plug it into the existing factory plug. Get the great sound you want, and keep all important safety features intact. This adapter does not work with GM's Premium Bose® systems or Onstar®, and it won't allow you to keep your factory steering wheel audio controls. It will work with the standard Bose system. Warranty: 1 year.
Important Note: If you do not use an adapter like this when you replace your factory radio, you will disable the audible warning system in your vehicle. Crutchfield cannot provide a free wiring harness for your vehicle, and we strongly recommend that you use the recommended adapter when replacing this vehicle's factory radio. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.

The Masked Singer has had viewers hooked for months as they've continued to guess which famous faces are underneath the incredible costumes.
Series two of the quirky ITV programme is set to come to a close this weekend and just three acts remain in the final.
Either Badger, Sausage or Robin will be crowned the winner and all three will finally be unmasked.
Judges Jonathan Ross, Davina McCall, Rita Ora, and Mo Gilligan have been guessing the identity of the celebrities for weeks and they'll finally discover the famous faces underneath the masks this weekend.
Ahead of the hotly anticipated final, Daily Star brings you every clue and theory behind Badger's identity.
In week one, Badger said ahead of their first-ever performance: "The Badger is a pretty unmistakable animal, yet life behind the mask means my identity is going to be completely hidden."
The secret celebrity said in their career, they've "been totally used to being anonymous".
They continued: "Seriously, there have been times I could have been on the street surrounded by people, but nobody would have had any idea who I am."
Badger's final clue was: "I see things like a virtual world."
Ahead of Badgers second performance, they shared more cryptic clues in their VT.
They said: "Badgers are shy creatures, and I certainly was when I was younger, especially around girls.
"At school, I wrote poems about girls that I liked, but I was so shy I'd never show them.
"Due to my shyness, for years, I had a talent for years I kept hidden."
Badger's third VT saw the secret singer state: "I grew up in a large household. I guess you can say I was one of a kind, my family were all very creative.
"It was mum who opened me up to my gift when I was very young. With so many of us under one roof, there was little room to spare."
A clue Badger gave before their fourth performance was: "There's more than one type of studio this badger's familiar with. Does this sound cryptic? Good, because I love to play games."
In their backstage footage, Badger picked up a note saying: "Badger, just wanted to say thank you. Love, Barbra".
All four judges have continued to speculate who is underneath the iconic badger costume.
The foursome – and their celebrity guests – Alan Carr and Matt Lucas – have suggested some hilarious guesses.
The judges' guesses from throughout the series have been: Jay Kay from Jamiroquai, Robin Thicke, Michael Buble, Peter Andre, Sisqó, Rami Malek, Keith Lemon, Kelly Jones from Stereophonics, Tom Hardy, Professor Brian Cox and fictional character Boober Fraggle.
But who do The Masked Singer fans watching at home think is under Badger's elaborate costume?
Viewers have continued to speculate that Ne-Yo is underneath the Badger mask since last month after a series of clues pointing to the singer.
Badger's impressive vocals have left fans convinced it's Ne-Yo, but also their clues about being on a set, different types of studios, and also wearing a hat have sparked speculation.
During another performance, the character dropped a clue about knowing someone called Barbra who had a big thank you for him on a note.
This sent viewers into a frenzy as they rushed to social media to predict that the star is Ne-Yo.
One posted: "I’m finally coming round to the idea that Badger is Ne-Yo.
"He performed at a tribute concert for Barbra Streisand and last week he sang ‘Because of You’ and Ne-Yo also has a song called that."
Another added: "Badger = Ne Yo. He performed in a tribute to Barbra Streisand when the Kennedy Centre honoured her career."
A third said: "Ne-Yo sang a tribute to Barbra Streisand."
Something else viewers have picked up on is Badger's song choices.
His performance of Because of You led some fans to Ne-Yo as he has a song of the same name.
Singer and reality star Peter Andre is another strong rumour as fans have continued to insist he's Badger.
Not only does the character's impressive vocals point to the Mysterious Girl singer, but also one of their song choices.
Badger performed Grease is the Word in the semi-final and did a very impressive dance routine to the song, which also led to more Andre speculation.
This is because Peter has starred in Grease the Musical and has been announced as part of the show's tour in 2021.
The production was rescheduled due to the pandemic and Andre is set to return to the role of Teen Angel in the show after performing in 2019, while also taking on two new roles: Vince Fontaine and the Sergeant.
One viewer said: "Ooooo is badger @MrPeterAndre (wasn't he appearing in Grease)".
While another wrote: "Badger is 100%, Peter Andre!
"Badger is Peter Andre!", added a third.
Other viewers suggested Badger could be Kaiser Chiefs and The Voice star Ricky Wilson.
One tweeted: "Badger is Ricky Wilson. Mentor and make people's dreams come true - The Voice."
While another penned: "Badger - Ricky Wilson..."
"Ricky from the Kaiser Chiefs is Badger," claimed a third.
Fans also agreed with the Masked Singer judges when they thought the character was professor Brian Cox.
Another tweeted: "Badger still seems like it's Brian Cox to me."
Someone else added: "So far we think Badger is Brian Cox..."
"I so want Badger to be Brian Cox," remarked another Masked Singer viewer.
Ben Shephard from Good Morning Britain has also been guessed as Lorraine Kelly and Mark Wright both said they thought he was Badger.

Applications for gun permits increase after new law
The Navy Yard shooting sparked renewed debate about guns in America. It also has some asking questions about Alabama's new gun law, which has been in effect for more than a month.
So are we seeing an increase in the number of people applying for gun permits between the ages 18 and 20? It varies from county to county.
The state's new gun law went into effect August 1st. It allows these young people to apply for gun permits. In the past, many sheriffs offices would not issue gun permits to people under 21. However, the law changed Alabama from being a "may issue" state to a "shall issue" state.
In Jefferson County since August 1st, a total of 63 gun permits have been issued to people between 18 and 20 years old. At any given time in Jefferson County, between 55,000 and 57,000 people have active gun permits.
In Tuscaloosa county, we're told there has been a general uptick in permit orders. Where it used to take some seven days to process orders, it's now taking the sheriff's office in Tuscaloosa about thirty days. Federal law prohibits licensed firearms dealers from selling guns to people under 21.


eddy,eddysrt4 said:did it run good? cause im runing lean w/out them
kewl man Great info marion :thumbsup:mario03srt said:eddy,
It ran bad ass. :readclose
At that time I had it dyno tuned for the low load closed loop to keep the fuel trims and idle where it needed to be and then for WOT. That was before my WB and DTEC.
The STG2 injector is only plus 10% on fuel over the STG1 injector. For a total of plus 30% over my stock 03 injectors. On an 04 injector it's plus 10% total.
So make a -10 correction on the Lo settings thru the rpm range. At idle rpm or near make it -20. Do the Hi range with an initial -10% thru the rpm range and road/dyno tune to detail it out from there. Using STG2 injectors in a STG1 car provides increased timing as the safc has to clamp the map signal to reduce the inj pulse and lean the AFR.
Now you owe me 25.00 :clap:

When Melissa Mitchell was quarantining last year, much like the rest of the world she became restless. Unlike most of us though, she used that time to create over 100 digital art pieces.
The self-taught artist said she heard the voice of God tell her to get to work. Listening to that calling landed a deal with Foot Locker to create a capsule collection of athletic apparel featuring her vibrant designs. “I’d been in this place of forced isolation and stillness before when He told me to create before I even knew how,” Mitchell said, referring to the devastating snowstorm of 2014 that left Atlanta, Georgia residents quarantined in their homes for days.
Luckily, like then, she allowed her creative spirit to carry her through challenging times.
The Miami-bred PK (preacher’s kid) has always had a special connection with the two most important things in her life: spirituality and creativity. “My father was very involved in church and was also an incredible designer, so I had no choice but to be creative,” she said.
Mitchell’s incredible work ethic birthed her design brand, Abeille Creations seven years ago while still holding down a full-time job with another company at the same time. This is an incredible feat since Abeille was an almost instant success. Her larger-than-life has been featured in Vogue and the likes of Lupita Nyong’o, Tabitha Brown and Amara La Negra have proudly sported her textile art via vibrant headwraps. Mitchell explained she believes people gravitate to her designs because they can feel that it’s her way of communicating with God.
“I don’t always use my mouth to speak to Him,” she said. “I think people can feel that my prayers are threaded through the art and are a way of expressing my gratitude for everything he’s blessed me with.” The brand’s consistent success didn’t drive her to rest on her laurels though. In fact, she just recently left her job this year, which also fell on the 7-year anniversary of the start of her design journey in February 2014.
Mitchell said this is because she’s never been the type of creative entrepreneur to believe or encourage artists to abandon all financial security to chase their artistic dreams.
“Here’s the thing, I don’t think people need to quit their day job to be successful, at what they love,” Mitchell shared with Essence. “I have a substantial 401k and have spent time building my savings before deciding to quit my corporate job…I’m not the average creative.”
Now, with her Foot Locker partnership, the latest installment in her growing brand, she’s finally pivoted her focus to her art full-time. Mitchell’s 13-piece line will consist of joggers, jackets, leggings, biker shorts, hats, and more in the likeness of her wearable art designs.
The ABL collection holds a very special place in Mitchell’s heart, explaining that the Foot Locker opportunity came together shortly after another large brand reneged on their deal out of the blue, leaving the designer shellshocked.
“The line is called ABL, A Better Life,” she shared. “I knew the other opportunity did not move forward because there was something bigger and better waiting for me. Always trust the timing of your life.”
The exclusive apparel will debut in Foot Locker, Footaction, and Champs Sports stores nationwide and sold for a limited time only.
