Love Yehuda Lave Join my blog by sending me an email to YehudaLave@gmail.com The Three Musketeers at the Kotel The Three are Rabbi Yehuda Glick, famous temple mount activist, and former Israel Mk, and then Robert Weinger, the world's greatest shofar blower and seller of Shofars, and myself after we had gone to the 12 gates of the Temple Mount in 2020 to blow the shofar to ask G-d to heal the world from the Pandemic. It was a highlight to my experience in living in Israel and I put it on my blog each day to remember. The articles that I include each day are those that I find interesting, so I feel you will find them interesting as well. I don't always agree with all the points of each article but found them interesting or important to share with you, my readers, and friends. It is cathartic for me to share my thoughts and frustrations with you about life in general and in Israel. As a Rabbi, I try to teach and share the Torah of the G-d of Israel as a modern Orthodox Rabbi. I never intend to offend anyone but sometimes people are offended and I apologize in advance for any mistakes. The most important psychological principle I have learned is that once someone's mind is made up, they don't want to be bothered with the facts, so, like Rabbi Akiva, I drip water (Torah is compared to water) on their made-up minds and hope that some of what I have share sinks in.

Avoid placing router 'behind TV' at home to save hundreds on energy bills An expert shared with Express.co.uk the best ways to improve internet speed at home in order to save money on energy bills. By Andrea Blazquez  How to save money: The 5 mistakes you are making with your internet router at home  Britons with low WiFi speed at home may be considering getting a higher speed package with their internet provider, which means a more expensive bill. According to Miniminter, the head of speed at fast broadband provider Community Fibre, people can easily maximize their internet speed and save money by simply changing the location of their router. According to the expert, one of the most effective ways to get the best value out of a broadband service is by placing the router "in a central position". He explained people should avoid "hiding the router behind the TV or furniture". Instead, it should be kept upright so that its WiFi signal goes upwards and outwards. Similarly, "don't put the router on the ground" as the signal goes into the floor. The expert said it is "best to wall mount it or put it in a raised position where it won't get nudged or damaged". He revealed: "Avoid placing your router near a window; you'll 'waste' signal by broadcasting to the outside." People should avoid "hiding the router behind the TV or furniture" to maximise speed. (Image: Getty) Miniminter added: "The more walls and the thicker they are, especially brick ones, the more WiFi signal will struggle to get through, so keep this in mind." According to the expert, people should avoid placing the router "near devices that emit interference," such as microwaves or wireless speakers.  He added: "Fluids are WiFi blockers, so don't hide your router behind a fish tank or wine rack." Finally, broadband WiFi speed is shared, so "disconnect devices you don't need from the router" to improve speed. Most Of The World's Nutmeg Comes From This Country Read More: https://www.tastingtable.com/1... Most Of The World's Nutmeg Comes From This Country Nutmeg in wooden spoon Annmell_sun/Shutterstock By Natasha Bailey/Oct. 25, 2022 3:30 pm UTC Spices make the world go round, literally. According to Statista, America's herb and spice revenue increased to $9.27 billion in 2021 and is expected to continue rising if only to make our dishes taste that much yummier. Without the power of spices, restaurants would fall out of business, our homes wouldn't smell near as good during holidays, and we wouldn't have some of our favorite recipes like spicy egg curry, smoky chicken chili, or tteokbokki. There are just some spices that are essential to have in your pantry like chili powder, or cinnamon, but one that should never be overlooked is nutmeg. While most of us are familiar with nutmeg as a powder, ground up into a little container, we probably couldn't recognize it in its whole form. The nutmeg we fold into our cinnamon rolls or mix into our creamy coquito recipe comes from the seed of a tropical evergreen tree, Myristica, native to Indonesia (via National Geographic). Who produces the most nutmeg? Ground nutmeg seed Beloborod/Shutterstock Since the seed is native to the country, it makes sense that Indonesia is where nutmeg thrives the best. According to the statistics recorded by the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization, in 2020 Indonesia produced a whopping 42,338 tons of nutmeg. Indonesia is closely followed by India which produced 41,000 tons. Nutmegs are exported globally to the European Union, Asia, and the Americas with Indonesia's major importers being the Netherlands, Germany, Vietnam, China, India, Japan, and the U.S. (via Australasian Agribusiness Perspectives 2021). Nutmeg harvesting is a kind of two-in-one deal in Indonesia. The Myristica, while it takes a long time to come to fruit, Ultra International B.V. says that the tree eventually produces a hard-shelled nut with a red mace covering it. This mace is harvested and turned into oil and spice while the nut (the nutmeg) is ground separately. The fruit will ripen on the tree and will eventually split open revealing the mace and seed which is when they are harvested. Who exports the most nutmeg? Nutmeg fruit, mace, and seed Santhosh Varghese/Shutterstock There has been a shift in the nutmeg market over the last decade. World Atlas reports that as recently as 2016 and in the years following, India was the leading exporter globally, earning $107 million, however, India did not produce enough nutmeg at the time to meet their local demand and imported quite a bit of their product from Indonesia. And though they were exporting more nutmeg than Indonesia, the islands were actually producing significantly more of the spice that the mainland country. Today, times have changed, Indonesia is still the crowning champion of nutmeg production, but India is no longer the world's largest exporter, that title must also go to Indonesia (via Tridge). According to the World Integrated Trade Solution, in 2019 Indonesia exported 16,558,800 kilograms worldwide while India only shipped out 2,489,870 kilograms. This trend continued through 2020 and 2021 as the Observatory of Economic Complexity reports that India is consistently coming in second place in nutmeg exports though their biggest buyers are the United Arab Emirates, America, Nigeria, Egypt, and Thailand. History of nutmeg Eggnog with nutmeg Brent Hofacker/Shutterstock Nutmeg is popularly used in all kinds of things ranging from baked goods to sausages. A spice that works well with both sweet and savory dishes, we rely on it for hearty eggnog and a scrumptious pumpkin pie. But though almost every country in the world uses nutmeg these days, it was once only found in one part of the world. International Centre for Education and Training claims that the nutmeg tree originates on the Banda Islands in Maluku Province, Indonesia. When the Portuguese colonized the area in 1512, they fell upon the nutmeg tree and they, as well as the Dutch, began to cultivate it. According to Science Direct, the nutmeg was used by the Indians to aid digestion and by the Egyptians to embalm. When the Italians got hold of the stuff they believed it cured the plague. It seemed that while we regard nutmeg as a simple flavor additive today, our ancestors preferred it for its medicinal properties.
