'''September 29th'''

So we had a busy week. No surprises there. Esther worked furiously (or perhaps was furious at having to work) getting her clients’ taxes done. I worked furiously trying to do development, and get work, and make more contacts. We were both furiously trying to get ready for the upcoming [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur ''yom hakippurim''] which is coincident this year with ''shabbat''. Much [http://shakespeare.mit.edu/macbeth/macbeth.5.5.html sound and fury, signifying nothing].

One outcome of the discussions with a “major company” I mentioned in prior episodes of this blog is that they asked me to become one of their “Community Partners” and publish content on their site. So this week I published [https://community.arm.com/iot/embedded/b/embedded-blog/posts/8th-a-gentle-introduction-to-a-modern-forth my first blog post] on their site; a site with many, many times more subscribers than my forum. The idea is to get people exposed to 8th and hopefully draw them in. This is just the first of the items we discussed, and I’m surprised and delighted with how quickly they moved.

Various points of interest:
* Germany’s [http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/09/angela_merkels_pyrrhic_victory.html controversial elections]. The Left goes crazy (as usual) without considering what the ''real'' causes are.
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmNz2jGzsDA “Antifa” exposed] for the violent extremists they are.
* The NY Times is still [http://thefederalist.com/2017/09/26/85-years-new-york-times-still-useful-idiot-communism/#.WcqoPqxPeK5.twitter staffed by “useful idiots”].
* The NFL: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGDB5ArYNiA Numbskull Freaking Losers]. But really, isn’t there anything more newsworthy than spoiled millionaires “taking the knee”?
* The [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nt-pSZ0XXxI Religion of Apple]. One of which I do not partake.

There’s a new “Star Trek” series, [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5171438/ “Star Trek Discovery”] (with the quite appropriate initials “STD”). I’m a big fan of science-fiction, so I watched it with rather low expectations, given lackluster character of the previous editions. But I’ve got to say that this new series is [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBb0hyuIfYQ surpassingly terrible]. Rank, pathetic, and virtually unwatchable. Just say no! STD is why we can’t have nice things.

The weather has turned fall-like (for the Middle East): cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon, cool at night. We even have a “chance of drizzle” over ''shabbat'' (!). We look forward to cool weather during the 25-hour fast!

Since this ''shabbat'' is also ''yom hakippurim'', our fare will consist of:
<br>
rest, fasting, and prayer (our pre-fast fare will consist mainly of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puchero ''puchero de pollo''] as per our personal tradition).

Until next time,<br>
''gemar ḥatima ṭova'' and ''shabbat shalom''!
