Emotions Run High at Yom HaShoah Event – Forward.com

Emotions Run High at Yom HaShoah Event – Forward.com: "A PROFOUNDLY MOVING YOM HASHOAH EVENT AT TEMPLE EMANU-EL

“No politicians here! Get out! Get out!” shrieked the frail, white-haired Holocaust survivor as New York Senator Charles Schumer mounted the podium at the May 4 Annual Gathering of Remembrance/Holocaust — Yom HaShoah event at Manhattan’s Temple Emanu-El. Schumer waited, as did the hundreds sitting silently in the pews, as attempts to calm him failed. How can you evict a survivor for whom some memory triggered an emotional crisis?

Moshe Arens in Shdema Speaks: Warsaw Ghetto Events - Jewish World - News - Israel National News: "The ŻZW, led by Paweł Frenkiel, was established due to this split, and the forces were ready for the Uprising, which broke out on Passover Eve of 1943. . During these talks, Anielewicz and Frenkiel, along with their people, sat across from each other and could not reach an agreement.

“If it was difficult to understand why 2 organizations were established, it was much easier to understand why they had difficulties merging together. Anielewicz’s organization was political and less militant,""

Moshe Arens in Shdema Speaks: Warsaw Ghetto Events - Jewish World - News - Israel National News: "the resistance began to form in the 2 organizations. According to Arens, at this point the Jews of Warsaw were having difficulties establishing a single unified entity to fight the Germans.

“The Left-wing organizations didn’t want to involve Beitar and Jabotinsky’s people. Today it is difficult to comprehend this refusal and understand how there were such differences in face of the Nazi threat which did not differentiate between various Jewish schools of thought"

Moshe Arens in Shdema Speaks: Warsaw Ghetto Events - Jewish World - News - Israel National News: "There were rumors that today’s shipment would be the last and rumors that the Germans were taking 70,000 and then they would stop and take no others, but these rumors were soon proven wrong. These rumors prevented even the spark of resistance."

At the end of these shipments, when 50,000 people were left in the Warsaw Ghetto, the awareness that the Germans really did intend to kill them all, regardless of whether or not there was any resistance, started to sink in, and the resistance began to form in the 2 organizations"

Moshe Arens in Shdema Speaks: Warsaw Ghetto Events - Jewish World - News - Israel National News: "6 months later, on the 9th of Av, 1942, the shipment from the Warsaw Ghetto began, and about 10,000 Jews were sent to the furnaces of Treblinka every single day until Yom Kippur.

“They were told they were being sent to labor camps, yet the fact that the shipments were comprised of the elderly, disabled and children, indicated otherwise. The trains returned empty and they became aware they were being sent to Treblinka. 270,000 people were transferred with no resistance."

Moshe Arens in Shdema Speaks: Warsaw Ghetto Events - Jewish World - News - Israel National News: "Warsaw Jewry refused to believe it. They thought that as things stood, they were under German occupation, yet it had not happened, there was no mass murder. There were those who believed that perhaps such a murder could occur, but only in a place that was previously under Soviet regime and not here, in Warsaw”, says Arens, and points out that there was some opposition to the very spreading of this information, as it might invoke German wrath."

View Shakespeare sonnets :|: Open Source Shakespeare                : "Lo! as a careful housewife runs to catch
One of her feather'd creatures broke away,
Sets down her babe and makes an swift dispatch
In pursuit of the thing she would have stay,
Whilst her neglected child holds her in chase, 5
Cries to catch her whose busy care is bent
To follow that which flies before her face,
Not prizing her poor infant's discontent;
So runn'st thou after that which flies from thee,
Whilst I thy babe chase thee afar behind; 10
But if thou catch thy hope, turn back to me,
And play the mother's part, kiss me, be kind:
    So will I pray that thou mayst have thy 'Will,'
    If thou turn back, and my loud crying still."





Editors Note:



We had analyzed the sonnet above #143 in an college English class, it seems we must have spent days on it. Great stuff!

How to Host Files on Dropbox for Your WordPress blog | Tech@CUNYJ: "When you upload media files for your blog via ftp or WordPress, a static copy gets stored on the j-school server. If you change the file, you have to replace the copy to reflect the change.

 A more flexible alternative is to link to a media file or document stored somewhere online.

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Dropbox to host audio, photo, and documents on your blog.



 Getting Started with Dropbox
Dropbox can be used as a downloadable software application and/or online as a web application. Skip the download if you only want to store files online. Download the app if you’d like your Dropbox folder to be available offline or want to sync across devices."

World's longest-running expriment finally sees its result | DVICE

World's longest-running expriment finally sees its result | DVICE: "What's more, the drop was never in free-fall. It simply collided with the 8th drop, which fell in 2000 and took most of the last 14 years to tip over. A second experiment, at Dublin's Trinity College, did actually capture a real free-fall pitch drop after its own 69-year wait. Still, that pitch flows at all is impressive, considering that its viscosity is 230 billion times that of water."

World's longest-running expriment finally sees its result | DVICE: "after the last three drops were all accidentally missed, even as recently as 2000 when a power outage actually made the already-present webcams lose power at just the wrong moment. People definitely caught it this time, but since a pitch takes so dang long to actually drop, the precise time that it touched down is still under review."

A talent for seeing patterns and finding correlations
