Apropos the factthat rain on Sukkot is an indication of divine rebuke, the Gemara citesseveral related topics. The Sages taught: When the sun is eclipsed it is abad omen for the entire world. The Gemara tells a parable. To what isthis matter comparable? It is comparable to a king of flesh and bloodwho prepared a feast for his servants and placed a lantern [panas]before them to illuminate the hall. He became angry at them and said tohis servant: Take the lantern from before them and seat them in darkness. It is taught in a baraitathat Rabbi Meir says: When the heavenly lights, i.e., the sun andthe moon, are eclipsed, it is a bad omen for the enemies of the Jewishpeople, which is a euphemism for the Jewish people, because they areexperienced in their beatings. Based on past experience, they assume thatany calamity that afflicts the world is directed at them. The Gemara suggests aparable: This is similar to a teacher who comes to the school with astrap in his hand. Who worries? The child who is accustomed to be beateneach and every day is the one who worries. The Sages taught in another baraita:When the sun is eclipsed, it is a bad omen for the other nations.When the moon is eclipsed, it is a bad omen for the enemies of the Jewishpeople. This is due to the fact that the Jewish people calculatetheir calendar primarily based on the moon, and the other nationscalculate based on the sun. When the sun is eclipsed in the east, itis a bad omen for the residents of the lands of the east. When it iseclipsed in the west, it is a bad omen for the residents of the lands ofthe west. When it is eclipsed in the middle of the sky, it is a badomen for the entire world. If, during aneclipse, the visage of the sun is red like blood, it is anomen that sword, i.e., war, is coming to the world. If the sun isblack like sackcloth made of dark goat hair, it is an omen that arrowsof hunger are coming to the world, because hunger darkens people's faces.When it is similar both to this, to blood, and to that, tosackcloth, it is a sign that both sword and arrows of hunger are coming tothe world. If it was eclipsed upon its entry, soon after rising, itis an omen that calamity is tarrying to come. If the sun is eclipsed uponits departure at the end of the day, it is an omen that calamity ishastening to come. And some say the matters are reversed: An eclipse in theearly morning is an omen that calamity is hastening, while an eclipse in thelate afternoon is an omen that calamity is tarrying. The Sages said: Thereis no nation that is afflicted whose god is not afflicted with it, as it isstated: “And against all the gods of Egypt I will mete out judgment; I am God”(Exodus 12:12). The Gemara adds: When the Jewish people perform God's will,they need not fear any of these omens, as it is stated: “Thussays the Lord: Learn not the way of the nations, and be not dismayed at thesigns of Heaven; for the nations are dismayed at them” (Jeremiah 10:2). Thenations will be dismayed, but the Jewish people will not be dismayed,provided they do not follow the ways of the nations. The Sages taught that on accountof four matters the sun is eclipsed: On account of a president of thecourt who dies and is not eulogized appropriately, and the eclipse is atype of eulogy by Heaven; on account of a betrothed young woman whoscreamed in the city that she was being raped and there was no one torescue her; on account of homosexuality; and on account of twobrothers whose blood was spilled as one. Rabbi Abraham Zacuto was born inSalamanca, Spain in 1452. He studied Tora with his father Shemuel Zacuto andwith rabbi Isaac Abohab. He was a great Tora scholar, very well versed inTalmud, Jewish Law, Philosophy and Mysticism. He also studied astronomyin the famous university of Salamanca and taught in the universities ofZaragoza and Cartagena. RabbiAbraham Zacuto engaged in astronomical research, an indispensable knowledge fornavigating the seas. In 1478 he wrote his major astronomical work, Ha-ibbur ha-Gadol. This book along withother books and treatises on astronomy (e.g., “On the solar and lunar eclipses”) weretranslated to Spanish and Latin. RabbiZacuto wrote many Tora books as well. His most famous book in Hebrew is calledsefer yohasin (יוחסיןDespite several attempts, the current and winds kept forcing them back,so they set up camp inland. In the process, they murdered, raped, or pillagedmany of the local people. Page from AbrahamZacuto's Almanach Perpetuum. (Public Domain/ Wikimedia Commons) Rabbi Abraham ZacutoColumbus saw that Zacuto had predicted a lunar eclipse for the night ofFebruary 29, 1504. So he warned Huero that if he didn't supply provisions forhim and his men, God would publicly display His anger. The tribal chief scoffeduntil a few hours later when the moon started to disappear. He ran quickly toColumbus and begged him to leave the moon alone. o this is the story of how a rabbi from Salamanca, whose ancestors hadbeen expelled from France in 1305, indirectly saved the life of the Spanishdiscoverer of the New World. כי לרשחי כך, כאמח מצאו גלולים, עצמה נמצאומכל שכן זמן ילוע וחשכון, וכאשר יהיו כה כחמים, איןכחמים, מכהיקכל כך אפסה אורה, וזהו סיכח עונש, חמהאכל אור כהעלר כו קלמונים הרגישו למאול כחסרון אורה כרוכ או כמעט,כיהוא חשכח אור, וכל כך מיעוט שפעח ככניכחוללה, וכל כצחצחועונש משמש, אלםיולילהו כמה שקרה כחמים לחמה וקלרוח, כי למאול גכרו, וזהוכסיכוחעיי״ש כמאורוח. הליקוי ממונקאטש זצ״ל כלכרי חורה )ח״ו כזה אות צג-צד( שם. כספר קומץ המנחה )חלק א אות יח( וז״ל: לקוחהחמההרע המגיע לארץ ממנה עצמה וכן ישראל פרי מעלליהםהם המערכח כעוה״ז ורע גם כלכנה עמו נעלרהאור. וזהו סימן של נחמעטה וכשנחרכ אנכיוחסר שהשפע רע וזהשכחכ: להשל״ה הקלוש מה שהקשה לוגמא עול שאמרו רכוחינו ז״ל על ל׳ לכרים מאורוח לוקין, על אכ כיחלין שמח ולאוירח, לחשוכ כאיזה שעה חהיה הליקוי והוא לכר טכעי. ואנילאיחאכמסכח שכח מחורץ כמה מלליקין )לב ע״א( חנא לכי רכי ישמעאל, כי יפוללא נפל והכחוכ קראו נופל, אלא שמגלגלים זכוח על ילימששח ופירש ילי וחוכה הלורוח מראש, שנגלו לפניו כל לכחיכ כשניחנה פורענוחם, ומעשיהם חורה עליין לא נפל זה וקראו נופל, עכ״ל. ומאחר שכןמעשיהם מראש שקרא על כן המציא הקכ״ה וכרא זו הטכע להיוח הקשח, כיעול ככריחושלא והקכ״ה שהםמכול. וכן לענין הליקוי, היהצופהלקוי השמים מהלך הלורוח,הנה ככר גלוי וילוע כל החטאים שיהיו ועל זה נראה לעין מעשה עשהאיפוא הכרחיים האלה והקושיא הקלומה של יליעה וכחירה היא קשה כענין זההארכחי כי לעין. כחוקף יראו עיין ככיח חוללוח עיניך וישמח לכך, על לרך ההם הוא על לרך הפשט עניינים טוכ מצאחי חכם מופלג וזה לשונו, כענין מאורוח לוקין, הגםהנכיא לרך ומסך, ונעשה )ישעיה נט,ב(, כי אם עונוחיכם היו מכלילים כיניכם לכיןיאונה לצליק כל און ולא יעשה רושם והפסק האחל כפניוהכוככים שהשמש חכירואורם, והיסולוח ואין הלכר הזה. ולהיוח סיכח החטא שכהיוח זה לעומח זהכענין הקשח נוכל לומר שהגם שהוא לכר טכעי כהיוחשכנגלוהשמש גשומה ארץ כזכוחם העליונים הנוטל אלמלאהעליונים הנוטל סימן רושםגשמיי, 0ימ; השחנוח עלידי גו6ני מקכל שינוי מעשינוכח וחיוח עליוניהיה היהכ; ומקריוח, שינוי שלא של כשאר ומקרה. ודכר זה עיקר גדול ואמוניי, שכ; כידינו על ידי

「Zacuto、スマートフォン用ビューファインダー「Smart Z-Finder」発表」　Zacutoは、同社の新しい戦略的方向性により、iPhoneや同サイズのスマートフォン用ビューファインダー「Smart Z-Finder」をKickstarterでまもなく発表する。

Mientras en las afueras de Granada se luchaba contra los moros, en esas mismas murallas el Almirante de la Mar Océana, Don Cristóbal Colón, negociaba las condiciones para su expedición a las Indias. Los judíos fueron expulsados por decreto por sus Católicas Majestades, sin saber que al mismo tiempo financiaban al primer converso del Nuevo Mundo: el propio CRISTÓBAL COLÓN. Digamos que nunca aclaró sus orígenes y sí prefirió mentir por omisión. Lo que pocos saben es que su empresa fue auspiciada, fomentada y patrocinada por una élite científica y empresarial de judíos conversos.

We have a duty to teach children the ways of kindness and thoughtfulness within and throughout all of their actions. In this conversation, Wendy Zacuto deepens and expands the boundaries of what even our youngest students need and deserve to understand about the critical role of kindness in the world, which is in so much need of more kindness, more justice, more equity, more fairness, more compassion, more big picture awareness of the blind spots that we are often surprised to discover we have… and we are unknowingly passing along to the young children in our care.

Frustration is a powerful emotion experienced by young children, and they need our help to navigate those choppy waters. New teachers will very likely experience children's expression of frustration as one of their biggest challenges, which is why we invited Wendy Zacuto back to share more of her insights from her decades of experience as a teacher, a principal, an academic researcher, a parent and grandparent. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nini-white/message

Wendy Zacuto has always sought to integrate the finest wisdom of her mentors and the numerous educational approaches she has studied, with her own innate instincts about how real learning is elicited and nurtured in our youngest students. She is a Master Educator in the truest sense.

Zacuto founder Steve Weiss joins the Digital Convergence Podcast panel to talk about the Revenge of the Great Camera Shootout 2012.

This week, Mike Seymour chats to fxguide's John Montgomery and Jeff Heusser about the tech they saw recently at Cine Gear 2012. And we feature interviews with Robin Christian about Zacuto's plasma lights, Dan Kanes on the Paralinx Arrow Wireless HD transmitter and Les Zellan from Cooke Optics.

Episode 24 - Steve Weiss, co-founder of Zacuto - on the Digital Convergence Podcast by 16x9 Cinema with host Carl Olson - a visual artist, photographer, and filmmaker based in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Featuring: Steve Weiss - co-founder of Zacuto Steve Weiss, co-founder of Zacuto, joins this edition of the Digital Convergence podcast with his thoughts on DSLR video and independent filmmaking and the need to focus on quality rather than gear. He talks about the genesis of the popular FilmFellas and Critics webisodes that have become the go-to source for film production conversation - bringing in over a million of views hosted on Zacuto's website. Steve shares a few of his ideas on monetization of web content and the future of the content production business.

The Fellas discuss the constantly evolving industry (film vs digital) and how a new breed of DPs may never touch film. Next, they agree that DSLRs, such as the 5DMkII, are changing the game forever.

Once again, co-hosts Steve Weiss and Philip Bloom start off with a few bits of babble before critiquing 3 short films: a dreamy narration of modern romance in the digital age, a campy animated music video and an 80’s vibe, creative concept film. [ critics ] Season 2: more witty banter, longer film critiques and absolutely, no holding back. Nothing's off limits. "The energy is electrifying."

The round table of DPs (Jens Bogehegn, Robert Primes ASC, Trent Opaloch and Philip Bloom), discuss the DP/Director relationship. They elaborate on ways to handle a problem director, the art of collaboration and staying true to your craft. Next, they exchange views on artistic vision and bonding with the director on a more personal level to build trust.

With the launch of Season 2, dueling co-hosts Steve Weiss and Philip Bloom return to critique 3 compelling films of religion, love and war which will surely spark conversation and passionate debate. This extended webisode features the trailer "Battle for Hearts and Minds" by Danfung Dennis, "Ring the Bell" by D.C. Joseph and the return of Ted Chung with "On Time." [ critics ] Season 2: more witty banter, longer film critiques and absolutely, no holding back. Nothing's off limits. "The energy is electrifying."

The Fellas: Jens Bogehegn, Robert Primes ASC, Trent Opaloch and Philip Bloom, open up the round table discussion by giving their take on the "real world" realities and benefits of attending film school. Next, they discuss getting your first break, steps of learning your craft and paying your dues. The webisode wraps up with a lively discussion on the new breed of filmmakers going viral, getting discovered on the internet and using social networking to build your audience.

Season One wraps up with co-hosts Steve Weiss and Philip Bloom as they critique 4 new shorts. They start off with one of the most skillful and artistic animation films on Vimeo. Next. they move onto a sexy title sequence with no ending. For the final two films, hear what Steve has to say about violence as the dueling co-hosts critique a crazed zombie horror film + a campy horror film.

In the first webisode of the new series, the new host Jens Bogehegn talks with fellow cinematographers Robert Primes, Trent Opaloch and Philip Bloom about how they got their start and what it takes to be a successful Director of Photography.

Co-hosts Steve Weiss and Philip Bloom open up with some witty banter, including a view jibes on fashion choices. Next, they critique 4 new shorts: an underground music video, an insane crazy-dangerous wing-suit base jumping, and Trash the Dress Bridal: a couture video highlighting a bride rolling in the sea. The webidode ends with a critique on "A Short Love Story in Stop Motion," one of the most viewed videos on Vimeo.

The Cast 4 series wraps up with an overview of the new genre of wedding filmmaking, social networking and blogging. Next, they discuss the challenges of staying true to your art as a filmmaker while creating and maintaining a thriving business.

The cast opens up their last webisode discussing wedding filmmaking event shows: WEVA, IN[FOCUS] and Re:Frame. They finish with a candid talk on the issues of creative content and copy artists.

The dueling co-hosts Steve Weiss + Philip Bloom return to critique 3 new Vimeo Films: a skate boarding video with some nice slow motion, Memory Bank: a modern retrospective + diary of "A Year in the Life" of Filmmaker Karen Abad, and a post Obama election celebration on the streets of NYC. Come watch as the hosts discuss lighting, location, contrast, and the emerging "Facebook Generation" of filmmakers.

We received a Zacuto DSLR Sniper Gunstock Shooter from Zacuto the other day and I had a chance to use it for a few days in Las Vegas for shooting some behind the scenes videos. My favorite parts are the Z-Finder and the Z-Focus (follow focus) because they are so useful. This episode should be of interest to anyone who shoots video with DSLRs. We will have more camera and gear reviews coming for 2011!
