IDF Uses tech that makes soldiers virtually 'invisible' to the human eye

 

Israel's Polaris Solutions, a survival product manufacturer, has unveiled a redesigned camouflage net that claims to make soldiers virtually 'undetectable.'

Developed in partnership with Israel's Ministry of Defense (MoD), the Kit 300 sheet is made of thermal visual concealment (TVC) material that combines microfibers, metals and polymers to make soldiers harder to see with the human eye and thermal cameras.

The sheet weighs just 1.1 pounds, allowing soldiers to easily roll it up and carry it while trekking through dangerous war zones.

Soldiers wrap it around themselves when on the move and join their sheets together to build a barrier that resembles rock when they set up a position.

'Someone staring at them with binoculars from afar will not see soldiers,' Gal Harari, the head of the detectors and imaging technology branch of the MoD's research and development unit, said in a statement.

The Kit 300 aims to reinvent the traditional camouflage gear that has gone nearly unchanged.

Camouflage nets haven't changed too much in the past 50 years,' Yonatan Pinkas, director of marketing at Polaris Solutions, told The Media Line. 'We wanted to bring in a new type of material,' he added. 'So TVC was born.'

The Kit 300 is double sided, each with its own colorization to blend into the battlefield.

One side is to be used when in dense vegetation and the other is designed for more desert-like areas.

However, the company will customize patterns and coloring based on need.

The Kit 300 is also waterproof and can provide military personnel with shelter. that can stand like a small tent. 

Although the material is lightweight, it is sturdy enough to mold into three-dimensional shapes and can be used as a stretcher to carry wounded soldiers.   

Pinkas told The Media Line Kit 300 is capable of carrying up to 500 pounds, can be used as a splint and a hypothermia blanket.

The inspiration for Kit 200 came during the Second Lebanon War in 2016, while Picciotto was in a special Israel Defense Forces (IDF) unit.

He saw a desperate need for better ground cover for soldiers, who were exposed to thermal cameras and night-vision equipment.

'You have to be better than the enemy and we understood that there were big gaps in the survivability part,' Picciotto recalled. 

'Our product is being tested by several units, which I can't name, and we have some joint operations there.'

Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines may provide LIFETIME protection against the virus, study finds

 

Both the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines may provide lifetime protection against COVID-19, a new study suggests.

Researchers found that people who received either of the two-dose shots, which use new messenger RNA (mRNA) technology, had strong and 'persistent' immune responses.

What's more, the vaccines produced high levels of neutralizing antibodies against two variants of the virus.

This could mean that Pfizer and Moderna recipients could have long-lasting immunity - for years or potentially the rest of their lives - and may not even need boosters, reported first by The New York Times.

'It's a good sign for how durable our immunity is from this vaccine,' lead author Dr Ali Ellebedy, an immunologist at Washington University in St Louis told the newspaper

For the study, published on Monday in the journal Nature, the team recruited 14 people who received both doses of the Pfizer vaccine.

Among them, eight people had previously has been infected with COVID-19.

Researchers looked at lymph nodes, which produce a type of immune system cell known as a memory B cell.

Trump Will Not Be Charged In DA Indictment

 Donald Trump won't be personally charged in the Manhattan district attorney's case against the former president's business organization when the first indictment comes down, his attorney claimed. 

Trump, in a lengthy and rambling statement issued on Monday, called the DA's investigation 'a continuation of the greatest Witch Hunt of all time' and claimed prosecutors 'failed' to find a crime even as 'millions of dollars of taxpayer funds wasted.' 

His words came as an indictment against the business that made his fame and fortune, The Trump Organization, grows closer.  

Ronald Fischetti, a New York attorney who represents Trump, told Politico that, at a meeting with Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance on Monday, he was told the DA's office will not bring charges against Trump himself when the first indictment arrives, which could be as soon as this week.

'They just said, 'When this indictment comes down, he won't be charged. Our investigation is ongoing,' he said.

Trump railed against the prosecution in his response.

British white guy has surgery to become Korean. He “identifies” as Korean so he figured he needed to get his eyes fixed. Transgenderism seems now to have inspired transethnicity. https://t.co/WnaSZACC6r

Summer is Here ...and the Hafganas Return ...

 

Summer is back in full force in Israel and it's hot .. and the Yeshiva Boys who aren't on the internet, and are prohibited from playing sports are gearing up to blow off some of their pent up hormones and frustrations.

What better way than going to illegal hafganas and wrestle with the mishtara! Protest organizers are now looking for different causes to protest to keep the bored Yeshiva Boys busy..

What's interesting about this hafgana is, that they are protesting construction in Gush Etzion.. none of them live there and never ever visit, but a hafgana is a hafgana.... 

There is construction in every part of Israel, and being that Israel is an ancient country, wherever you stick a shovel you will find bone fragments ... 

Legitimate rabbanim concluded years ago that the majority of the bones are gentile..and since we must continue to build, they organized a committee that inspect construction sites, and when they suspect that the bones are Jewish, they collect the bones to inter them in a different location..

in fact the Satmar Bais Medrish in Meah Shearim is sitting on a site that was considered a Jewish burial site for many years, and when I visited Israel in 1968, that site was being protested by R' Amram Blau founder of the Neturi Karta ....when I returned in 1975, Lo and Behold, the Satmar Bais Medrish was built on that very site..

What happened.. what changed?

Nothing changed, Satmar managed to pay off the Asra Kadisha to look the other way ...

Just three years ago there were massive protests in Beit Shemesh when a Chassidishe developer began to build the "Guloivntziz Houses" . The Asra Kedisha protested and said that the site was a Jewish Bais Hachayim... the developer laughed them in the face and refused to pay a "grush" to the Asra Mafiosi ..Well now hundreds of Chareidim live in the "Guloivntziz projects" on top of the "Jewish Bais Hachyim" 

To make their protest legitimate, they are shlepping the very old Gaaved and the even older R' Yaakov Meir Shechter to the protest which will take place at Kikar HaShabbos in Yerushalyim! 

My guess is that both the Gaaved and R Shechter have no clue to why they are going but a day out is a day out..

London Kehilah Issued a Boycott of all Frum Establishments that Had Photos of Women but Quickly Denied it as the Police Were Closing In

 

I guess no one likes to pay big hefty fines!

Just last week, the big rabbis at the London Hisachdus issued a "fatwa" on all Jewish owned businesses and individuals that had photos of women in their ads. They threatened them with boycotts etc.

Well, they forgot that they live in Chutz Le'aaretz, and so the "goyishe" government started an investigation, because for some crazy reason, discriminating against women in the UK is against the law.

The rabbis of the "kehila" ran around like poisoned rats trying to find ways to retract ....

They couldn't come out with a statement apologising for the "fatwa" because that would mean they are for placing photos in advertisements...

Some "chuchem fin dee ma nishtana" came up with a brilliant idea.

Why not deny that they ever issued the "fatwa" ...

'Beloved Ottawa community pillar' Rabbi Reuven Bulka passes away

 

Prominent Ottawa Rabbi Reuven Bulka has passed away at the age of 77.

Rabbi Bulka was a rabbi with the Canadian capital's Congregation Machzikei Hadas for over 50 years.

He was a member of the Order of Canada and had been given the Key to the City of Ottawa.

"It is with profound sadness that we inform you that Rabbi Dr. Reuven Bulka passed away early this morning, Sunday, June 27, 2021," Rabbi Idan Scher of Machzikei Hadas told the congregation in an email.

In the winter, after being diagnosed with inoperable pancreatic and liver cancer, Bulka travelled to New York to be with his family.

His funeral service on Sunday was live streamed from New York. He became a rabbi there at the age of 16, when he took over his father’s congregation.

Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada called Bulka a “beloved Ottawa community pillar.

"A kind soul, an eloquent voice, a wise teacher. Rabbi Bulka was respected by all for his spiritual leadership and many good deeds. He will be missed. May his memory be a blessing,” tweeted Mostyn.

Rabbi Bulka’s son Schmuel Bulka, spoke at the service, saying his father spent his life working to find common ground among everyone, even people he disagreed with.

"Most people today, unfortunately, when they see people who are different — all they do is go toward the differences. Some people make a career out of exploiting differences," he said. "My father was the exact opposite. He would always look for commonalities – for something he would have in common with somebody, even if he was different. It didn't mean he would compromise his principles. But he was always looking for commonalities."

Rabbi Bulka was known for founding Kind Canada, an Ottawa charity that sought to spread kindness. The organization launched Kindness Week.

In early June, a bill passed Canada’s parliament that proclaimed Kindness Week in Canada to be held in the third week of February, reported CTV News.

In the USA Even "goyim" Go to Kollel . One in Five Young Adults Is Neither Working Nor Studying

 Almost one in five young adults in the U.S. was neither working nor studying in the first quarter as Black and Hispanic youth remain idle at disproportionate rates. 

In the first three months of the year, about 3.8 million Americans age 20 to 24 were not in employment, education or training, known as the NEET rate, the Center for Economic Policy and Research said in a report. That’s up by 740,000, 

Inactive youth is a worrying sign for the future of the economy, as they don’t gain critical job skills to help realize their future earnings potential. Further, high NEET rates may foster environments that are fertile for social unrest. 

The increase last quarter appears to be driven largely by joblessness, while school attendance rose moderately as campuses started to reopen, according to the CE

Ezra Sheinberg, convicted sex offender, asks for early release for 'good conduct'

 

The Nazareth District Court on Monday will hold a hearing to discuss Ezra Sheinberg's request to shorten his sentence, Makor Rishon reported.

Sheinberg, who previously served as a yeshiva dean in the northern city of Tzfat, admitted to and was convicted of sex offenses against women in the community he led.

Sheinberg has asked to be released due to "good conduct" in prison. His request for release will be discussed in court due to requests by the Prosecutor's Office and the women he hurt that the State re-examine the danger he presents and not rush to grant him an administrative release after he served just two-thirds of his sentence.

Meanwhile, Sheinberg's victims are fighting to prevent his early release from prison, which would be allowed under a plea bargain that was accepted against their wishes.

Three weeks ago, Sheinberg was ordered to pay 388,0000 shekels ($119,090) to a resident of northern Israel, in compensation for the emotional damage he caused her after she fell victim to his sexual crimes.

That woman responded to the ruling by saying: "I thank all those who held my hands and supported me. Whoever thought that this world is a free-for-all should know today that there is judgement, and there is a judge, in heaven and on earth."

In April, one of Sheinberg's victims told Kan Reshet Bet: "A sex offender who mocks the judicial system is about to be released. He apologized to the judges for thinking that he is the messiah, but he continues to torture us."
