Rabbi Mark Sameth is the author of the book, The Name: A History of the Dual-Gendered Hebrew Name for God.
The God of ancient Israel — universally referred to in the masculine today — was understood by its earliest worshipers to be a dual-gendered, male-female deity.
Needless to
say, this is no small claim. Half the people on the planet are followers of one
of the three Abrahamic religions — Judaism, Christianity, and Islam — each of
which has roots in the ancient cult that worshiped this deity. The author’s
evidence, however, is compelling and his case meticulously constructed.
The Hebrew name of God — YHWH — has not been uttered in public for over two thousand years. Some thought the lost pronunciation was “Jehovah” or “Yahweh.” But Sameth traces the name to the late Bronze Age and argues that it was expressed Hu-Hi —Hebrew for “He-She.” Among Jewish mystics, we learn, this has long been an open secret.
Paolo Rumiz (1947 in Trieste) is an Italian journalist and writer.
Rumiz started out as a reporter for Il Piccolo in Trieste and then moved to the La Repubblica newspaper. He wrote reports on the political dissolution of Yugoslavia and from November 2001 he was a correspondent in Islamabad and Kabul and experienced the war in Afghanistan .
Since 1998
Rumiz has been writing travel reports from his cycling and walking trips in
Europe. He also travelled by balloon, by rail and crossed the Apennines in a Fiat
Topolino in 2007.
In 2014 he
lived for three months in a lighthouse on a small Mediterranean island.
Beret worn by lighthouse keeper Ralph Gibson Thomson, from
Cairnryan Lighthouse, Scotland.
This video was recorded during a game of scrabble at a Lighthouse in 1993, of two keepers chatting about their Lighthouse Keeping over the years.
Phil Griffiths has since sadly died, so this is a little bit of a tribute to him, his Wife and Family, and whoever knew or worked alongside him.
The show shows us the life of lighthouse keepers, who live together with their families on the scattered islands of the Adriatic Sea, in the area of Korcula. The camera follows the crew of the ship Porer, which visits the lighthouses Parabroz, Pločice, Struga, Palagruža and Glavat, and supplies the residents with the necessities.
Everyday life, as one of the lighthouse keepers says, is one and the same - we all get bored with each other. Such a situation is especially aggravated in winter, when storms prevent access to these inaccessible areas, which the Caravan team managed to record at the Glavat lighthouse, as well as the consequences of the fire at the Parobroz lighthouse.
Polyvinyl chloride (abbreviated: PVC) is the world's third-most widely produced synthetic plastic polymer (after polyethylene and polypropylene). About 40 million tons of PVC are produced each year.
PVC comes in two basic forms: rigid (sometimes abbreviated as RPVC) and flexible. The rigid form of PVC is used in construction for pipe and in profile applications such as doors and windows. It is also used in making bottles, non-food packaging, food-covering sheets, and cards (such as bank or membership cards).
Pure polyvinyl chloride is a white, brittle solid. It is insoluble in alcohol but slightly soluble in tetrahydrofuran.

Latex rubber is used in many types of clothing and berets.
Rubber has traditionally been used in protective clothing, including gas masks and Wellington boots, but is now generally being replaced in these applications by plastics. Mackintoshes have traditionally been made from rubberized cloth.
Latex rubber as a clothing material is common in fetish fashion and among BDSM practitioners and is often seen worn at fetish clubs. Latex is sometimes also used by couturiers for its dramatic appearance. Latex clothing tends to be skin-tight. There are several magazines dedicated to the use and wearing of it. Less commonly, latex clothing can be loose-fitting.
Use of latex clothing has been popularized by media appearances, such as the outfit of Catwoman, a cat burglar, in Batman Returns or the outfits in The Matrix which are mostly made of latex.
Latex clothing is a popular feature of the BDSM community. Latex or rubber fetishists sometimes refer to themselves as "rubberists". One reason why latex or other tight shiny fabrics may be fetishised is perhaps that the garment forms a "second skin" that acts as a fetishistic surrogate for the wearer's own skin.
Thus, wearers of skin-tight latex or PVC garments may be perceived by the viewer as being naked, or simply coated in a shiny substance like paint. Latex can also be polished to be shiny and can also be produced in bright colours, adding further visual stimulus to add to the physical sensations produced by the material.
The tightness of the garments may also be viewed as a kind of sexual bondage.

It was in 1924, in Vrsac on the Banat plains in what was then the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, that the idea was born. To create headgear that combined elegance, aristocratic values, and high aesthetics; that unites people in the design and production of berets of unique quality.
From its inception more than 90 years ago until today, through monarchy, republics, wars, Uča's story has grown from a small, warm craft shop to a serious manufacturing industry.
Uča's berets carry the title of ‘Count’ (Grof).
Uča's journey and development went in one direction - uncompromisingly following their first ideas, values and dreams, from which they never deviated.
Constant and persistent preservation of tradition, investment in training and development of proven master staff make for their greatest pride and guarantee of quality. Today they bring aristocratic style into everyday fashion.
The ‘Count’ is for those who recognize and wear that uniqueness.
