  • October 9, 2018 - Jerusalem, Israel - A 2,000 year old stone column drum, Second Temple Period (First Century CE), around the time of Herod the Great's reign, unearthed earlier in 2018 in excavations underway near Binyanei HaUma, Jerusalem's International Convention Center, bears an engraved Aramic inscription reading “Hananiah son of Dudolos from Jerusalem”. Archaeologists share their excitement during a joint press conference of the Israel Antiquities Authority and the Israel Museum stressing this is the first and only Second Temple era artifact which displays the full spelling of Jerusalem, written in Hebrew letters, 'Yerushalayim', as it is spelled today. The archaeological context of the inscription does not allow determination who Hananiah son of Dudolos was, but it is likely that he was an artist potter, the son of an artist potter, who adopted a name from the Greek mythological realm, following Daedalus, the infamous artist.

  • Donald Trump’s old golf clubs are going under the hammer. Boston-based RR Auction is hawking TaylorMade clubs that the U.S. president used at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, more than 10 years ago. Trump had previously gifted the sports equipment — which is engraved with “D. Trump” — to his personal caddie Andrew Lombardo and now the auction house is hoping to sell them for around the $30,000 mark. From 2004 to 2008, Mr Lombardo served as Assistant Caddie Master and Director of Outdoor Operations while employed at Bedminster, caddying for Trump over 100 times from the day the club first opened until his resignation in 2008, including twice during the filming of The Apprentice. “I knew the first set of irons were special and so beautiful, they were the only set of forged blades, the first set that TaylorMade gave to Mr. Trump and the only set that had (D. Trump) engraved on them,” said Lombardo in a letter of provenance.  According to Lombardo, Trump — who is an excellent golfer with a 3 handicap and owns 17 golf courses worldwide — exclusively used these irons for a two-and-a-half month period while playing with and against a variety of celebrities, powerful businesspeople, and golf professionals at Bedminster.  The Fine Autographs and Artifacts Auction from RR Auction began on June 26 and will conclude on July 12. 03 Jul 2017 Pictured: Donald Trump's golf clubs that he used more than 10 years ago at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey, are going up for auction.

  • zReportage.com Story of the Week # 634 - Bloodline - Launched June 19, 2017 - Full multimedia experience: audio, stills, text and or video: Go to zReportage.com to see more - This essay offers a rare look inside the daily lives of members of one of the biggest gangs in the United States.'The Bloodline' are a chapter designated by the Brooklynn Latin Kings gang to the State of New York, one of the most organized gangs in America with more than 35,000 active members. The Kings are the oldest and largest Hispanic street gang in the United States, its roots date to 1954 Humboldt Park in Chicago. We see the extreme life conditions for the majority of gang members and also the relationship between gang members and society. It explores the intimacy and naivety of teenagers who have been pushed by their economic status, racial or social issues to survive in a hostile environment in one of the most developed cities in the world. It also draws attention to the happiness, unity and respect they show each other and the importance of the family and religion in their lives. The Trump administration recently vowed to crack down on violent gang members and criminals from American Communities. Recent nationwide gang apprehension programs such as Project Dawn, focusing on dismantling transnational gangs have seen hundreds arrested in New York alone.

  • Justin Bieber will be honored by his Canadian hometown with the launch of a new museum exhibition featuring memorabilia from his past. The Stratford Perth Museum, located in southwestern Ontario, promises a “behind the scenes look” at the 23-year-old singer’s meteoric rise to success. Visitors will be able to see a wide array of artifacts provided by Bieber and his relatives, as well as other Stratford residents who have connections with him. The collection includes dozens of pieces from his music career, such as Grammy awards, Teen Choice Awards, a personal letter from former First Lady Michelle Obama and clothing he wore during major concert performances. It will also feature personal items from his childhood in Stratford, including a hockey jacket he wore when he played for the Stratford Warriors Peewee Travel Team as well as photos and videos. No stone has been left unturned as even Bieber’s old sneakers have made the cut and feature in the exhibition. The exhibit, which opens on February 18, is called “Steps to Stardom,” in reference to the steps of Stratford’s Avon Theatre where Bieber used to sing and play his guitar as a young busker. A video posted to YouTube of him performing on those steps garnered millions of views and ultimately helped him land his first recording contract as a 13-year-old wannabe star. John Kastner, General Manager of the Stratford Perth Museum, said: “We’re very excited about this exhibit and helping to share a fascinating story about a hometown hero who’s gone on to remarkable achievements. “We’re grateful to Justin and his family for supporting what we wanted to do and allowing us to share a piece of their lives with the world.” The museum, which typically receives approximately 7,000 visits per year, is expecting the exhibit to generate significant interest among Bieber’s following of dedicated fans across North America and around the world. “The single biggest question we get from visitors at the muse

  • In 2013, this part of Bahia State in Brazil included just a single center-pivot irrigation circle. In this photograph taken in 2015 by an astronaut on the space station, new circles - each about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) in diameter - are tightly packed and overlaid on the original rectangular farm grid. Like a Pac-Man, one circle appears to be swallowing a farm house. The ragged lines of a forested stream (left) contrast with the sweeping, ghostly shapes of plowed stream beds (image center).<br />
As Brazil's economy rapidly expands, center-pivot technology is being introduced to counter the effects of irregular rains and drought in Bahia's drier interior. Agribusiness crops grown in this part of the state include soy beans, corn, cotton and sisal. The nearby town of Magalhães has experienced the fastest growth in all of Brazil, as its population more than doubled between 2004 and 2007.<br />

  • An astronaut aboard the International Space Station took this photograph of the strange rounded shapes along the coastline of Zambia's Chilubi Island. The light-toned sand island stands out from the dark waters of Lake Bangweulu.<br />
In the photo we see a few patches of open water between the fingers of the island. The waters are crowded by areas of aquatic vegetation and wetland (reeds, papyrus, and floating grass) in green. Lake Bangweulu, which is only 4 meters (13 feet) deep on average, is rich enough to supply fish for the copper-mining towns to the west.<br />
Chilubi Island has 100 kilometers (60 miles) of coastline, providing prime access to the richest fishing waters in northern Zambia. Those coastlines are smoothed by easterly winds that erode ancient sand dunes. The narrow strips of lighter toned land along the shorelines are areas that have been mostly denuded of vegetation by residents of the densely populated fishing villages.<br />
The explorer and missionary David Livingstone was the first European to visit the lake (1868).<br />

  • An astronaut aboard the International Space Station focused near the Sun's reflection point to shoot this photograph of grid-patterned fish farms on the coast of China's northeast province of Liaoning. The aquaculture basins have been built out from the wooded coast to a distance of nearly 6 kilometers (4 miles). Fish farms have been constructed at many points along the provincial coastline, but this group of basins facing the Yellow Sea is the largest. (Liaoning Province is the sixth in China in terms of aquaculture production.)<br />
The basins are built on shallow seabeds, mudflats, and bays.<br />
Islands, such as the one at image center, often help anchor the construction of basins. Outer barriers protect the basins from winter storms. Water flow lines and a ship wake are visible near the river estuary.<br />
Most aquaculture products are marketed live in China, with less than 5 percent processed for local or overseas markets.<br />
Shellfish, a traditional marine food source, still dominates the marine species production (77 percent), with sea fish a distant second (5 percent).<br />
About 4.3 million people are involved in freshwater and marine fish production in China (as of 2007).<br />

  • Crews aboard the International Space Station are trained to use low sun angles to add a three-dimensional effect to flat landscapes, a skill that is well illustrated by this image of central Saudi Arabia.<br />
The main river (upper left), located 120 kilometers (75 miles) south of the capital city Riyadh, has eroded its bed down into the rock layers, making a small canyon 250 meters (820 feet) deep. This in turn has led all of its tributaries to dig their own canyons, resulting in an elaborate, leaf-like pattern that casts shadows in the late afternoon sun. For scale, the area shown is just 12.5 kilometers (7.7 miles) across.<br />
This photograph shows the faint tracing of a road following the main river. River beds are often the smoothest places in deserts for wheeled vehicles; they connect villages that occupy river beds and terraces up and downstream because there is access to water. Dark dots within the main river bed are trees that only grow where their roots can reach subsurface water.<br />
The center of the small plateau is a slightly different color from the area surrounding it. This is a lighter-toned layer of sedimentary rock, one of many in the area. Other thin layers make benches within the canyons in the same style as seen in the Grand Canyon of the USA, but on a much smaller scale.<br />
Astronaut photograph ISS045-E-55901 was acquired on October 10, 2015, with a Nikon D4 digital camera using a 1150 millimeter lens, and is provided by the ISS Crew Earth Observations Facility and the Earth Science and Remote Sensing Unit, Johnson Space Center. The image was taken by a member of the Expedition 45 crew. The image has been cropped and enhanced to improve contrast, and lens artifacts have been removed. The International Space Station Program supports the laboratory as part of the ISS National Lab to help astronauts take pictures of Earth that will be of the greatest value to scientists and the public, and to make those images freely available on the Internet.
