Football Fan Escapes 8 Guards
A Russian football fan has captured the imagination of the internet with this athletic escape from eight security guards at a recent Spartak Moscow match.
The elusive man, casually decked out in sunglasses and a backwards gap, bobs, weaves, sprints and ducks before eventually flipping onto the field, where it appears he has some form of immunity.

Construction Workers Settle Argument with Bulldozers
Police in northern China say an argument between construction workers escalated into a demolition derby-style clash of heavy machinery that left at least two bulldozers flipped over in a street.
In online video taken last week, several bulldozers are seen ramming each other while passenger cars scurry away from the cloud of dust.
The video shows one driver running unhurt out of his toppled bulldozer, a fast-moving type also known as a wheel loader, while a friendly bulldozer tries to lift it back up.
The construction workers were from two companies competing for business, Xu Feng, a local government spokesman in Hebei province’s Xingtang county, said Monday. He said he couldn’t disclose details about arrests or injuries until an investigation concludes.
China’s construction sector has fallen on hard times, with growth down by two-thirds from its peak a decade ago. Real estate construction represents close to a quarter of China’s economy, a far higher proportion than other major countries, and its slowdown is now sending ripples through industrial sectors such as steel, glass and cement, causing waves of layoffs.

Ma & Pa Geese Coax Their Baby's Into Jumping Off Roof
When a gaggle of baby geese became stuck on an eight-foot car port roof, their mother and father knew they could make the leap with a little coaxing.
In the video, the two mature geese stand beneath the goslings and squawk at them - seeming confused how to get their babies back.
The video was filmed in the U.S., but it is unclear what state the footage was shot in.

The First Drone Type Helicopter
Ever since this drone thing started to really catch on, the only thing that was on most people's minds was "when are we going to be able to actually sit in one of these while it flies?" Well, the answer to that is still unknown, but it sure won't be too long.
The FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) is probably looking at this and pulling all the remaining hairs out of its head. It's had a really tough time dealing with the proliferation of flying drones, their low cost and over-the-counter availability making it virtually impossible to control what was happening in the sky. No wonder, then, that several incidents were reported, one even involving a police helicopter.
The Volocopter would take those problems and multiply them by one hundred, adding in the fact that it's not just an unmanned aerial vehicle now, but we're also dealing with people strapped in these things. And because the drones can't (or won't be allowed to) climb very high, they're in that gray area where if something bad happens, the ground is too close to deploy a parachute (even though it has one), but far enough to cause fatal injuries.
But we're getting ahead of ourselves. For now, the Volocopter only managed to make its maiden manned flight. Which, according to the pilot, went as smoothly as silk.
“I got in, we did the pre-checks for what felt like maybe 20 seconds, and after that I’d already got the all-clear for flying. I didn’t wait long, I simply pushed the lever upward and the Volocopter simply sprung upward in a single bound. It is definitely a sublime feeling to lift off, fly the first few meters, and then actually take my hand off the joystick and think that, yeah, it’s really as if I’m standing on the ground, and then I look down and there are 20-25 meters beneath me. So it’s definitely unbelievable what we’ve achieved here. It’s seriously unbelievable!”
The company behind the Volocopter VC200 is called e-volo, and it has great plans for its machine. Due to its auto-levelling function, the Volocopter is very easy to fly and offers the same feeling as a helicopter, but with far less hassle and a significantly less steep learning curve. e-volo says that when the Volocopter - and other similar vehicles - make it into production, they'll be able to revolutionize the way we look at urban mobility, finally adding that third dimension into our daily commute. Of course, that's just visionary talk as things won't really be that simple, but even so, it's worth keeping an eye on e-volo's Volocopter VC200.

Stuntman Backflips Over a Speeding Race Car
Never has the phrase “don’t try this at home” been more applicable.
Having the ability to do a backflip – without landing on your head – is a pretty good party trick at the best of times. But being able to do a backflip over a moving single-seater race car, while not even looking the right way, is a whole different kettle of ballsyness.
But that’s exactly what British freerunner and former gymnast Damien Walters (a man who’ll never have to pay for a beer in his life ever again) did recently.
He didn’t make it easy for himself, either. Instead of choosing a nice, loud F1 car to jump over – easier to hear coming – stuntman Damien selected a silent Formula E car for his potentially deathy fliparoo.
Luckily, Damien and his team didn’t just lick their fingers and rely on Top Gear maths to make it happen. Instead, they used actual tape measures, timing beams and computers to work out the speed and timing for the jump. Plus a couple of all-important practice runs.
When the time came to press record and do the thing for real, Damien turned his back to the car while stunt driver Alistair Whitton (someone who’d never driven a Formula E car before but was somehow willing to possibly run down his mate) hit 62mph before squinting heavily as Damien looped over the top of him.

TV Reporter Saves Driver From Flood
A local news reporter in Texas saved a man from his vehicle that was submerged in historic Houston floods on Monday April 18 2016. just before the media station was going to go on live TV.
Steve Campion was preparing to go live on breaking news coverage of the flooding across the Houston area when he saw a man drive into an area of deep water near an underpass. Campion, a reporter for KTRK, yells at the man: 'Dude, you've got to get out of the car. You've got to get out!' as the vehicle moves into deeper water.
Shortly thereafter, the man opens the passenger door and crawls out into the water as the reporter yells: 'Leave the car! Swim!'
The driver pauses for a moment, worrying about his car, but then swims toward Campion, who wades out into the waist-deep water and extends his hand.
As the car slowly sinks under water, the driver tells Campion that he's OK and that he didn't think the water was so deep.
The man, later identified only as Andy, tried to turn back to his vehicle, which by that point was almost completely submerged, and Campion said, 'You've got to leave the car'. Andy then moves to higher land beyond the lens of the camera.
Storms have dumped more than a foot of rain in the Houston area, flooding dozens of neighborhoods and forcing the closure of city offices and the suspension of public transit. The National Weather Service said the area received up to 16 inches of rain in the 24 hours through Monday morning.

Jerusalem Bus Explodes in Terror Attack
A bus exploded Monday April 18 2016. in an industrial zone in southern Jerusalem, wounding 21, police said.
Israel Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said the incident was caused by an explosive device. He said two people on board the bus that exploded were seriously wounded, while the other wounded people had been in a nearby bus and car that were also damaged. "Since we know there was an explosive device that exploded on a bus, there is no doubt that it was a terror attack," said Yoram Halevy, chief of the Jerusalem District Police.
Police are trying to determine whether one of the two critically injured bus passengers was a suicide bomber.
The blast then ripped through a second bus next to it, causing both buses to catch on fire, the station said. Plumes of black smoke could be seen miles from the scene. Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat said the explosion was caused by a "small bomb" but did not elaborate further.
"We'll settle accounts" with those responsible for Jerusalem bus bombing," said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this evening.
Alexis Hope Silverman, a Jerusalem mother of three, said she heard sirens “screeching non-stop for ten minutes straight. I knew something happened. I’m used to sirens but this was different.”
Hannah Jo Kanarek said she was sitting in her car at an intersection not far from the explosion.
“I watched all the emergency services racing towards the area. I knew immediately what it was.”
The blast comes amid a wave of Palestinian attacks on Israelis the past several months and raised initial fears of suicide attacks a decade ago in Israeli cities, the Associated Press reported. Attacks on Israeli buses by suicide bombers were frequent during the Palestinian uprising in 2000-2005 but they have been rare since, according to Reuters.

Tiger Has Appropriate Reaction Being Rudely Awoken
A two-year-old girl having fun mimicking a tiger's roar at Dublin Zoo got a fright when two of the big cats gave her a sample of the real thing.
The toddler's close encounter was captured on film by her mother, Linzi, and begins with her wandering next to the tigers' enclosure as two of the big cats snooze and prowl around inside.
She makes pretend tiger roars as she walks next to the perimeter glass.
One of the tigers is asleep and, as the other approaches it, the young girl walks closer, roaring as she goes.
Suddenly, the tiger that's walking around pounces on the napping feline, which isn't at all happy at being disturbed. It swipes at its friend's face and the pair roar loudly as they scrap.
The noise sends the little girl running in the opposite direction yelling 'mummy!'
Meanwhile, the now wide-awake tiger bares its teeth and, low to the ground, forces its tormentor backwards. By this point the two-year-old is begging her parents to leave the enclosure.
it concludes with the second tiger, who now appears to be oblivious to the situation, having a drink from the lake before walking up to higher ground.

An Inside Tour Of Herzog Wine Cellars in California
The Jewish people have a special relationship to wine that predates even the Romans and Greeks. For the ancient Jews, whose temple in Jerusalem was renowned throughout the fledgling civilizations of the Middle East, wine played an important role in religious ritual. Today, thousands of years later, it continues to do so. Kiddush, the prayer over the wine, traditionally announces the beginning of the Sabbath on Friday night as well as other holidays.
And so it should come as no surprise that the Herzog family has been making wine for a long time. They trace their winemaking origins back to Philip Herzog, who made wine in Slovakia for the Austro-Hungarian court more than a century ago. Philip’s wines were so appreciated by Emperor Franz-Josef, that the emperor made Philip a baron. The Baron Herzog wines—a line of premium yet moderately priced California varietals—are named to commemorate the honor.
Eugene brought the family to America in 1948 after the Holocaust. He arrived in New York City with his wife, Sidonia, six of his own children and two additional war orphans. They moved to the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn with only enough money to rent a two-bedroom tenement flat. With his winemaking skills, Eugene found a job at a small kosher winery tucked away into a storefront on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. For a paltry salary, he made sweet, Concord-grape wines in the cellar. (European grape varieties for dry wines were not easy to obtain in post World War II New York.) He also drove the wine delivery truck. But because the company was so poor, he was paid for his driving acumen in company shares, not cash.
For years the shares were worthless, but by 1958, all the other shareholders had given up their shares. They assumed the business was doomed to failure. Eugene and his sons, who all went to work at the winery, proved them wrong. They called their new venture Royal Wines, in deference to their grandfather, Philip.
In 1985, the Herzog family decided to expand their winemaking operations to California, where they make wine under two separate labels: Baron Herzog and Herzog Wine Cellars. After twenty years of renting space in various wineries, the family was finally able to build its own state-of-the-art winery just south of Santa Barbara, in the town of Oxnard. Here, under the supervision of head winemaker Joe Hurliman, Herzog Wine Cellars has created a center for high-end contemporary winemaking in a tradition that dates back nearly six centuries.

תפלת אמהות
אשר קדשנו במצוותיו וצונו להדליק נר של שבת
אנא שמע תחנתי בעת
הזאת, בזכות שרה רבקה רחל ולאה
אונזערע הייליגע מאמעס, אמותינו
באשעפער מיר זענען זיך מתחנן
די קינדער ווי די לעכט זאלן שיינען
שלא יכבה לעולם ועד
(מתוך תפלה לאשה אחר הדלקת הנרות)

One of Oldest Video Footage of Jerusalem
This video is a segment of the full 70 minute documentary “Jewish Life in Palestine”, filmed by Noah Sokolovsky of the East Odessa Company in 1913 to be shown at the 11th Zionist Congress.
Sokolovsky filmed in Tel Aviv-Jaffa (just four years before all the Jews of that city were expelled by the Turks), Petach Tikvah, where oranges are being picked and sent to Jaffa for export, religious Jews on the Sabbath in Zichron Yaakov the famous vineyard and winery town, the building of the famous Technion University in Haifa, the northern settlement of Rosh Pinna, the Sea of the Galilee, Tiberia and much more.
The company and film producer Sokolovsky spent 2 months filming and then created a movie translated into 3 languages for the Congress. After being presented at the Congress the film was lost. Interestingly enough, the original negatives of the film were found in 1997 in France. Restored by Israeli historical documentary filmmaker Yaakov Gross, the movie was shown at Jewish film festivals and reviewed by the New York Times.
This segment of the movie shows the ride on the train from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, the Temple Mount where Jews were not allowed to enter, Chassidic Jews at the Western Wall (“Wall of Tears”) on Passover, biblical sites east of the Temple Mount, the gravesite of Simon the Pious (from the Mishnaic period), school children from the Mizrachi “Ezra” schools, classes at the Bezalel School of Art of the Hebrew University.
The movie is narrated by famous singer and actor Yehoram Gaon and is truly a historical treasure not to be missed!
