February Has, for a Short Period of Time, Been Designated As the Month of the Year That We Have Set Aside to Honor Those Who Have Served Our Nation As President
Salute to the Masonic Past Presidents of the United States of America February has, for a short period of time, been designated as the month of the year that we have set aside to honor those who have served our nation as President. This tradition began many years ago with the celebration of the birthdays of President George Washington and President Abraham Lincoln in the month of their birthdays. Fourteen of the presidents of the United States of America have been Master Masons and have carried out the true virtues of the Masonic order. They were: George Washington, James Monroe, Andrew Jackson, James Polk, James Buchanan, Andrew Johnson, James Garfield, William McKinley, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, Warren G. Harding, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S Truman, and Gerald R. Ford. Each has left a legacy to us, to our children, and to our grandchildren that is rich in history and steeped in glory. Many of these Masonic presidents, since George Washington and through Gerald Ford, have served during events in history that make us all proud to be able to call them Brethren. There is another group of Brethren and Sir Knights with whom we are more closely associated. They have served as Presidents of the Knights Templar Eye Foundation since its inception. Sir Knights Walter A. DeLamater, Louis Henry Wieber, Paul Miller Moore, Wilber Marion Brucker, John Lawton Crofts, Sr., George Wilbur Bell, Roy Wilford Riegle, Willard Meredith Avery*, Kenneth Culver Johnson, Ned Eugene Dull, Donald Hinslea Smith, Marvin Edward Fowler, and William Henry Thornley, Jr. Sir Knight Walter A. -
Short Trip Report - Southern Israel (Negev Desert) – 15-20 August 2020
Short trip Report - Southern Israel (Negev Desert) – 15-20 August 2020 This is a last minute booked family trip as a replacement for a South Africa Trip (Hluhluwe Imfolozi, Marrick Safari and Kgalagadi TP) after the last one once cancelled (along 2 other) due to the Covid 2019 pandemic. I have booked a hotel for 3 nights in Mitzpe Ramon 2 days ahead to minimize the risk of costly cancellations (after sustaining heavy losses from three cancelled International trips this year) and- later extended by 2 nights in the Be’er Milka area (near Nitzana) in a nice cost effective AirBnB AUG 15 – Was spent driving to Mitzpe Ramon. At night we drove to road 171 and saw herds of Onager, my wife spotted some unidentified rodent and my kids something described as either as fox or a jackel. This is a great road as it leads to nowhere and has very little traffic even in the busy August holidays. AUG 16 – during noon a family of Nubian Ibex was spotted on the road leading to our hotel. At night we went to an organized star gazing activity in the crater area but due to the number of people involved nothing obviously was seen... AUG 17 – drove at night to the Mitzpe Ramon observatory, on the way back we spotted what looked like a Red Fox. Then drove to Ben Gurion’s grave at Sde Boker and did some spotlighting in the Zin valley but alas saw nothing... AUG 18 – went to the Mitzpe Ramon visitor center where again where a group of Nubian Ibex were easily spotted. -

Details of Aquaculture Fish Farms in the Desert and Arid Lands of Israel
85 An overview on desert aquaculture in Israel Gideon Hulata Department of Poultry and Aquaculture Institute of Animal Science Agricultural Research Organization Bet Dagan, Israel E-mail: [email protected] Yitzhak Simon Ministry of Agriculture Extension Service Aquaculture Division Bet Dagan, Israel E-mail: [email protected] Hulata, G. & Simon, Y. 2011. An overview on desert aquaculture in Israel. In V. Crespi & A. Lovatelli, eds. Aquaculture in desert and arid lands: development constraints and opportunities. FAO Technical Workshop. 6–9 July 2010, Hermosillo, Mexico. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Proceedings No. 20. Rome, FAO. 2011. pp. 85–112. SUMMARY The State of Israel has a very diverse climate. Most of the country is in a semi-arid zone, with distinct short winter (wet) and long summer (dry) seasons, and a low annual rainfall of around 500 mm (an overall multi-annual average). The country can be divided into two climatic regions: (1) the southern arid/semi-arid areas have very low annual precipitation (<100 mm) and consist of the Negev Desert and the Arava Valley; this arid zone extends also to the Jordan Valley where annual rainfall is below 300 mm; (2) the central-north of the country that has a temperate, Mediterranean climate and a relatively high annual rainfall (>600 mm). Israel has suffered from a chronic water shortage for years. In recent years, however, the situation has developed into a severe crisis; since 1998, the country has suffered from drought, and the annual rainfall was short of the multi-annual average in most of the years. -

Israel National Trail Passport
Israel National Trail Passport The Israel Trails Committee issues Israel Trail Passports, allowing hikers to collect stamps as they reach points of interest along the trail. Accumulating stamps along the way intensifies the experience, leaving hikers with a souvenir of their adventures on the trail. ITC architect Gal Hart conceived the idea for the Israel National Trail Passport during his studies in the architecture department at Bezalel Art and design Institute in Jerusalem. He developed the concept for his final project, including a map with twelve stopping points. Each stopping point highlights a key architectural value. Hart presented his concept to the ITC and designed the passport and the stamps. There are now 27 stops where the people walking the Isreal National Trail can stamp the passport. Stamping Points include: 1. Israel Trail Committee. 2. Bet Ussishkin, Kibbutz Dan 3. Yanay Shaham, Kibbutz Dan, Trail Angel 4. Shlomi Flex, Kibbutz Yiron, Trail Angel 5. Mount Meron Field School 6.
