An Essential Life Story - Nishmat

An Essential Life Story - Nishmat: "...shocked but I figured, I had come half way around the world to learn Torah, and if that is what it meant to learn Torah, I had better start using the dictionary.At the time, I knew nothing about shoreshim or different grammatical constructions in Hebrew.

'Try it with a hey,' the tutor would say. Or 'try it with a nun!.
I would look up each and every word not understanding why I needed a hey when there was clearly no hey in the word.
Then, after several days we were asked to learn a Rashi.Again my head was raised, this time a little bit less timidly.

'Excuse me, but I can read print and I can read script, but this is not Hebrew.'

'Oh,' the tutor informed me, 'here is a piece of paper.On this paper you will find the Hebrew alphabet and you will find Rashi script.You can tell the differences..."

We can imagine that Nina represents the masses. Flocking towards what they feel is good because it is what all the other people like. Aha, yes...hence the title of the play, The Seagull. Would Anton Chekhov the soulful writer be satisfied with only that ? To be viewed as an accomplished writer only because others said and thought he was good.

I for one, say no. This very concept must be what the entire play was about.
The flock-like behaviour of the people, the masses, Nina-
to Konstantin Act Two
" you keep saying things somehow crosswise"
in symbols or something-
I mean,look at this this seagull, a symbol if I ever saw one,
but of what, I'm sorry, I've no idea.
I'm not clever enough to make it out. "

(Tom Stoppard, Nina, pg. 30)

Was Chekhov writing his plays to be adored, by the masses ?

Writing on the Web.

I managed to restore my first Web Site circa August/September 2001.: "Aharon Moshe's Notebook

The notable occasion being when he caressed the proscenium and stated 'this stage...' and started laughing to himself ! Where was he in the script, I didn't know (still don't) did he ? I seem to recall his earlier flubbed line was that the Elm tree (pg8) looked dark because it 'was dead', the line delivered in a deadpan fashion, kind of mocking his beloved Nina at the same time losing his character of Konstantin the illusionist, to Konstantin the sarcastic. In my opinion this was when last night's live performance of The Seagull, started slipping from being a cold dark 'realism' highbrow type play, to perhaps a sardonic tragic comedy, that could appeal to the masses.

Windows Update SNAFU ~ Windows Fanatics

Windows Update SNAFU ~ Windows Fanatics: "Am I the only one to have this problem with these updates, or is it more widespread, and to what extent? What are the common factors, if any?
Most important, when will this be fixed, and will somebody please tell me so I can turn Automatic Updates back on? And how will Microsoft get the amended updates to those who cannot figure out how to get back on the Net? By telephone or by snail mail?
Can you swing some extra clout at MS? Or at least tell me where to direct my displeasure?
PS Tonight I got a phone call from my cousin, who has DSL from Bellsouth. She was also unable to access the Net after Update Tuesday."

The Blog Economy - R21

The Blog Economy - R21: "Millions of people are using blogs to augment ... well, whatever it is that they do. From pundit blogs that we know so well in the political and tech space, to the flood of food and entertainment blogs, to expert blogs written by designers, marketers, lawyers, scientists, economists, and the like to the SMB blogs written by boutique wineries, photographers, craftsmen of all kinds, and businesses in countless industries. Some of these blogs are used simply to get attention to a small business of professional service. Some are used to directly drive ecommerce, and everything in between.
The biggest story, however, may be how blogs continue to transform media.
From experiment to strategy"

Forumblog.org - The World Economic Forum Weblog: "Action notebook
I spoke to a few people from the oil industry and they are convinced about the inevitability of a ‘carbon cost’ in the next five to ten years and they are already working that cost into their business models and investment decisions. If we really want a big push towards clean energy we must create incentives to migrate to non-carbon technologies.
I believe Information Technology can evolve sustainable models of development as energy efficiency is intimately related to technology. IT can help design smart grid solutions for utilities. With thoughtful engineering we can help design green buildings that harvest sunlight."
