{image_1}It's always easy to see who chose typing class at high school when watching grownups in the boardroom. Those who didn't learn how to type properly stumble over laptop keyboards with two fingers or thumbs. Today's smart phones have made most of us just as awkward. Our fingers feel like big fat sausages as we aim for the tiny letters. Could there be another way?

{image_1}If you've got a heavy load to haul, carrying it in a backpack will be easier than lugging it by hand—whether it's camping gear or an injured person. And that's the simple reason why Jerusalem-based Agilite has gotten thousands of inquiries about its recently introduced IPC (Injured Personnel Carrier). The patent-pending, trademarked IPC weighs in at three-quarters of a pound, yet it can bear 5,000 pounds [2,268 kilograms] and enables a rescuer to carry someone on his or her back. The unit's 12.5-foot [3.8 meter] length folds down to just 10 inches [25.4 centimeters].

{image_1}What a refreshing assignment to be able to write about water in Israel instead of drought! We’ve been waiting seven years for this! Last year about this time, I wrote an article entitled “Israel’s Water Crisis,” featuring pictures of forest fires, over-ripe rotten fruit, languishing cows, and a depleted Sea of Galilee.

{image_1}Intimacy—we all want it; we all desperately need it. Some of us, however, have been so hurt in life that we fear it, or we have been so denied it that we don’t know how to pursue it. Yet, it is something we must have to survive. People commit suicide because they either lose it or can’t find it. The good news is God has the recipe for it. It’s His desire that we have it with Himself and with man.

{image_1}Israel has had to adapt to many threats and challenges: from tanks to terrorists, from plane hijackers to missile launchers. And that work never ends. Israel’s Home Front Command, a division of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), has an ongoing role to prepare Israel’s civilians for a wide range of dangers. Included among those are nonconventional attacks such as chemical, biological, and nuclear threats.

{image_1}The “Color Red” alert siren sounds as another terrorist missile heads towards the coastal city of Ashdod in Israel’s south. More than 200,000 Israelis are at risk. Cars, businesses, homes, schools, synagogues—any one of them could be the target for the blindly-fired Gaza rocket. An explosion is heard by people in the city, but there’s no shattered glass, blazing buildings, or injuries. The Iron Dome missile defense system has successfully managed to intercept the incoming projectile, literally blowing it out of the sky with a missile of its own.

{image_1}Under the hot sun in southern Israel, the Philistine city of Gath, archaeologists have been puzzling over how it was plundered and destroyed. “It was like a mini-Pompei, a frozen record in a moment of time,” says Prof. Steve Weiner, director of the Kimmel Center for Archaeological Science. Kimmel's unique onsite laboratory helps archaeologists piece together the events of the destruction.

{image_1}The Foreign Ministry held a conference in April during which it presented a special report on “Jewish refugees from Arab nations.” Deputy Foreign Minister Daniel Ayalon urged the Arab world to recognize its historic responsibility for displacing Jews who once lived in Arab nations and making them de-facto refugees.
