Become aware of the tone of your voice when you speak to yourself. This often is so automatic that many people never consider it an issue. But it can be a major factor in whether or not you are usually serene.

It's that she knew that the bridge's weight limit was six tons. She just didn't know how many pounds that was. Seriously, that's what she told the police after the crash on Christmas, as they note in their report: Ms. Lambright was aware of the iron bridge stating she had driven on it several times in her personal vehicle and was also aware of the posted signage "no semis, weight limit of 6 tons". When asked by Paoli Police why she continued through the bridge knowing the weight limit was only 6 tons she admitted to not knowing how many pounds that was. She was advised the weight of the vehicle at the time of the crash was close to 30 tons. Lambright, who got her CDL earlier this year, said she wasn't comfortable backing up her Volvo truck, so she just chanced it on the bridge. That bet didn't exactly pay out.

Where is the world's poorest city in the poorest country?

Surprise: the Guggenheim building in New York... Photos have always told stories, but in today's world of cell phone cameras and social media, that story is relayed as data to companies who monitor everything we do.

Framed In Duma by Moshe Feiglin MK Moshe Feiglin I opposed administrative detention – of both Jews and Arabs – when I was in the Knesset. I also opposed forced feeding. I believe that the continued occupation of Judea and Samaria causes Israel to consistently violate human rights, which in turn brings about the deterioration of the standard of liberty in the entire country. Israel must declare sovereignty in Judea and Samaria, thus ending the occupation in the same manner it did in the Golan Heights. All options must be opened for the Arab residents of Judea and Samaria, while safeguarding their human rights. I have already written that it really does not interest me if those who threw the firebombs into the Arab home in Duma were Jews or Arabs. Whoever did it must be punished. But as of this point, it is not at all clear that the Jewish youths in administrative detention were connected whatsoever to the case. Even if they admit to the crime and re-enact it 100 times. Even if they will be convicted and all the rabbis will condemn them roundly, as is standard procedure – I will not believe they are guilty. Why? Because when teens are held for many long months in Shabak cellars, when their right to meet with a lawyer is taken from them – they are liable to say anything. The pressure that the security apparatus felt from the Left's "Why haven't you arrested anyone yet?" sobbing festival has driven them to perpetrate a long string of indecent acts, under the auspices of (Arab) Supreme Court Justice Salim Jubran. Earlier this week he authorized the continued negation of the rights of the detainees. I once heard an evaluation from the president of the Attorney's Association, who said that approximately 15 percent of those convicted of murder in Israel are not actually guilty of the crime. So how can we relate seriously to this ridiculous "investigation" in which all the human rights of the detainees – all of them juveniles – are seriously abused? Soon their half year of administrative detention will be up and then, of course, an extension will be requested. After all, Defense Minister Ya'alon will not want to lose face and admit there is no evidence against these boys. Our enemies already know that all they have to do is vandalize their own property and write "Price Tag" in order to implicate Jews in the crime. They set fire to carpets in their mosques and write "Price Tag" on the walls. That is what they did in Tuba Zangaria. Even in Tel Aviv, a terror cell planning precisely the same act in the Hassan Bek Mosque was caught before they could put their plans into action. So why shouldn't they do the same thing in Duma? The police and Shabak know that better than I do. But they work for the media and the "Peace Industry" nobility. They do not work for the State of Israel. And they certainly do not work for the truth. It's already been two months that not a day goes by without stabbings, car rammings, or shootings. For some reason, we do not see a hint of the same holy ardor to find solutions at any price. Not a hint of that from the peace nobility. For some reason, you do not hear anything in the media about expelling the families of the Arabs terrorists who stab Jews – even when time and again it turns out that today's terrorist is the brother of yesterday's terrorist. After all, it's not democratic, it is not in keeping with human rights, it will upset the delicate balance of relations between Jews and Arabs, it is absolutely unthinkable… So on Monday, a one-year-old baby was run over by a terrorist and lost his leg. He will not be crawling or playing soccer. But have no fear: Netanyahu ordered the Jerusalem municipality to erect more cement blocks at bus stops to prevent Arabs from ramming their cars into unsuspecting people. And the Defense Minister is busy chasing after the wind on the hilltops of Judea and Samaria. In the past, there were a number of cases of arson in Duma – internal strife. Even a novice graphologist would testify to the fact that the graffiti left on the walls there was a drawing, not actual writing. And furthermore, do you think a Jewish boy who wishes to throw a firebomb into an Arab home would choose a home in the center of an Arab village and not on its outskirts? Sorry, friends. With this hallucinatory investigation and trampling of every possible human right, you have completely lost me. At this point, all the detainees should be released, the investigative team should be replaced, and the Shabak and police should stop drawing the target around the arrows outlined by the media.

To Be a Jew in Israel on the last calendar day of 2015

Can't see images? Click here... Rabbi Yehuda Lave Yesterday I used my other mailer software. Let me know if you did not get an email on Wendesday. King Solomon says: "A soft reply turns away anger." (Proverbs 15:1) Think of some incidents when you wisely used a soft reply. Now resolve to apply this in the future. You may have been hurt by the love of your life, but remember, that you had good times and love and that people are only so strong. They say they will be with you forever, but they take care of themselves first. Happy last day of the calander year. Love Yehuda Lave Love 5 Riddles to Solve THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST LISTS OF RIDDLES I HAVE SEEN. THE ANSWERS ARE AT THE BOTTOM. RIDDLE 5 IS AMAZING. IT SHARPENS SOME GENES IN YOUR BRAIN AND STALLS ALZHEIMER'S FOR YEARS. 1.A murderer is condemned to death. He has to choose between three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in 3 years.. Which room is safest for him? - / - 2.A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But5 minutes later they both go out together and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be? - / - 3.What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away? - / - 4.Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday? - / - 5.This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching! THE ANSWERS TO ALL FIVE THE RIDDLES ARE BELOW: Answers: 1.The third room. Lions that haven't eaten in three years are dead. That one was easy, right? 2.The woman was a photographer. She shot a picture of her husband, developed it, and hung it up to dry (shot; held under water; and hung). 3.Charcoal, as it is used in barbecuing. 4.Sure you can name three consecutive days: yesterday, today, and tomorrow! 5.The letter "e," which is the most common letter used in the English language, does not appear once in the paragraph. As they say, it's Dejavou all over again. By Shalom Pollack The same targets, the same cheerleaders heading the attacks and the same ones crawling under the covers lest they be demonized too. First, it was the Inquisition after the Rabin murder in 1995. I must say that the media and powers that be did quite a job then. I was an uncompromising zealous critic of Rabin and all that he perpetrated since the Oslo perfidy. I realized then, that he and Peres were traitors to the Jewish people and to our land. Yet, even I, was so affected by the propaganda brainwashing that I considered paying my last respects to the man that brought Arafat into our homes and who killed holy Jews on the Irgun ship, Altalena. I came to my senses after a while but I realize now the power that they wield over our minds. I remember a veteran "settler" of Kiyat Arba, walking around with a big sign," I am ashamed" A couple of days after the murder, I was in a shop with two young men I did not know. I over heard them criticizing Peres, the new prime minister. I took out my pad and pen and asked them, "what did you say?' Did I hear you correctly?" They turned white and said ,No it was only a bad joke , I shouldn't take them seriously". I was amazed that my little test brought the results I though it might. They were not living in a democracy, Big brother was watching and they were terrified. 1984 was here. The Rabin government shut down the only remaining voice of opposition to the blatant treachery. "Arutz Sheva radio was casting doubt in the minds of the public. Their key personalities were arrested. The opposition to the government and their odious lies was were eliminated Israel experienced what Soviet citizens probably woke up to every morning - "Socialist Realism" The second time was during the months, weeks, days, hours and minutes before the historic crime of Gush Katif. Again - "Socialist Realism" It took just one corrupt and determined man wanting to stay out of jail to bring most of the country behind him in the senseless, cruel and suicidal expulsion of 2005. They did not catch me in their web this time and I soberly and painfully witnessed the decent of a country accompanied by an orchestrated psychological /fear campaign that trounced Israeli law and basic civil rights in broad day light . Tens of thousands were just "following orders". Thousands, particularly minors were beaten, arrested or detained - totally illegally. Israel 2005. I recall , when Bush visited Israel eight years ago, the journalists were put up in the Dan Panorama hotel. A man stood outside with pamphlets containing information about the corruption and violence that is the Palestinian Authority. They call it freedom of speech I believe. Well it wasn't what he government had in mind. They wanted the lies to go unchallenged and the Bush "Road Map" to be bought.. Thus the man was dragged away by a plain clothes cop. Simple. I wanted to enter the hotel as I was wearing a free Pollard sticker on my jacket. Problematic for the government. They did not want the journalists to ask questions about our friend the US and its cruelty to Jonathan that might tarnish the Bush visit . So I was very rudely expelled. Were my "rights" trampled that night as well? Who knew. Who cared? And now, once again in 2015. Israel is experiencing yet another phase of Arab terror. Arab men, women, boys and girls, are daily using what ever comes to their hands at the moment to murder Jews - all over the country, not only in the "territories". The government simply has no solution to this latest phase in the now hundred and fifty years of war against he Jews in our land. Giving them land or guns of Nobel prizes will not satiate the blood lust any more. So what to do? Find a common enemy that CAN be defeated; one that is sufficiently different from most Israelis. One that lives on the margins of society. One that will not agree to be cannon fodder for "peace". Gotcha! It's the hill top youth. Public enemy number one. Dejavou. What is worse in Israel today than a Jew killed by an Arab? But of course an Arab killed by a Jew. Add that to a weird wedding dance with weapons and we have a national hysteria and preoccupation that shades the daily Jewish blood letting. (Was this possibly a government set up as has happened in the past.. Avishai Raviv - govt provocateur who encouraged Amir to kill Rabin)? Rabin in SS uniform, compliments of Raviv.. police dressed as Arabs to provoke settlers and then arrest them? Mmmm... It remains to be seen how these kids managed to enter to the center of an Arab village, burn two houses, paint on the walls and leave unnoticed. Were they super commandos? The family killed in the fire were involved in a bloody clan feud ( a common phenomenon in Arab society) in the village for years. The Jewish suspects have been denied their legal rights and have undergone prolonged and severe torture, according to them , their families and their lawyers. The government MUST get their man and it had better be a Jew! All "according to the law" of course and with approval of the courts. Once again the "Right wing " are heading for cover and hoping for an approving pat on the head from the powers that be. After decades of witnessing this rule of law, I am reminded that there were also laws and courts in the USSR... and in Sedom too. www. shalompollacktours.co.il Christian Pastor speaks stirring words https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIPujagOono Winston S. Churchill: "Some people like the Jews, and some do not. But no thoughtful man can deny the fact that they are, beyond any question, the most formidable and most remarkable race which has appeared in the world. John F. Kennedy: Israel was not created in order to disappear- Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom. David Ben Gurion: "In Israel , in order to be a realist, you must believe in miracles." Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe: "Energy is the basis of everything. Every Jew, no matter how insignificant, is engaged in some decisive and immediate pursuit of a goal. It is the most perpetual people of the earth." John Adams: "I will insist the Hebrews have [contributed] more to civilize men than any other nation. If I was an atheist and believed in blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations... They are the most glorious nation that ever inhabited this Earth. The Romans and their empire were but a bubble in comparison to the Jews." Leo Tolstoy: "What is the Jew? What kind of unique creature is this whom all the rulers of all the nations of the world have disgraced and crushed and expelled and destroyed; persecuted, burned and drowned, and who, despite their anger and their fury, continues to live and to flourish. What is this Jew whom they have never succeeded in enticing with all the enticements in the world, whose oppressors and persecutors only suggested that he deny (and disown) his religion on and cast aside the faithfulness of his ancestors?! The Jew - is the symbol of eternity. ... He is the one who for so long had guarded the prophetic message and transmitted it to all mankind. A people such as this can never disappear. The Jew is eternal. He is the embodiment of eternity." Eric Hoffer: "The Jews are a peculiar people: Things permitted to other nations are forbidden to the Jews. Other nations drive out thousands, even millions of people, and there is no refugee problem. Russia did it. Poland and Czechoslovakia did it. Turkey threw out a million Greeks and Algeria a million Frenchmen. Indonesia threw out heaven knows how many Chinese-- and no one says a word about refugees. But in the case of Israel , the displaced Arabs have become eternal refugees. Everyone insists that Israel must take back every single Arab. Arnold Toynbee calls the displacement of the Arabs an atrocity greater than any committed by the Nazis. Other nations when victorious on the battlefield dictate peace terms. But when Israel is victorious it must sue for peace. Everyone expects the Jews to be the only real Christians in this world." Mark Twain: "...If statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one percent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of stardust lost in the blaze of the Milky way. Properly, the Jew ought hardly to be heard of, but he is heard of, has always been heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world's list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine, and abstruse learning are also away out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and had done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian, and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendor, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed; and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other people have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all, beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of his parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?"
