At The Farm Derech Hatavlinim Summary Hike At Alonei Abba Nature Reserve Hike At Alonei Abba Nature Reserve Summary Summary Bethlehem Of Galilee Basic Info Bethlehem of Galilee is a moshav in northern Israel Located in the Galilee near Kiryat Tivon around 10 kilometers northwest of Nazareth and 30 kilometers east of Haifa it falls under the jurisdiction of the Jezreel Valley Regional Council In 2016 it had a population of 7881 The modern moshav is located at the site of the ancient Israelite settlement known as Bethlehem of Zebulun or Bethlehem Zoria The town existed as Christian settlement in the classic era and was populated during the Middle Ages It was reestablished as a Templer Bet Lam colony in the 19th century and turned into Jewish moshav in 1948 Source Wikipedia Much of the original Templer architecture survives and is similar in style to the homes built by the Templars in other parts of the country such as Sarona in Tel Aviv and the German colonies of Haifa and Jerusalem In recent years tourism has replaced agriculture as the main economic branch A dairy a herb farm restaurants and countrystyle accommodation are among the touristoriented businesses in the village today Source Wikipedia Walking Through Bethlehem of Galilee is a small moshav We drove along the main road you continue straight from the entrance till we saw a prominent parking place We left the car there and started walking All Templer buildings were converted to residential houses All except this one And here are some other buildings We walked along the street till the end and there is a turn left to the north We continued walking along that road and reached The Milky Way Trail If you are shooting cows better get ready to be licked I have not visited The Milky Way Trail yet But I was at Olives Picking At Galili Olive Oil which is located in front of the Milky Way And this is what I am going to show next Regarding Bethlehem Of Galilee the moshav is quite small and I can not say it is a touristic spot There is only one explanation sign and almost all houses are residential So if you are already there then you can do a short stroll Olives Picking At Galili Olive Oil Back in 2016 we visited Galili Olive Oil official site The Galili family is a boutique producer from Bethlehem of Galilee They have an olives grove an oil press and a small store They also have a visitors center and offer tours We joined one of these tours You have to subscribe for the tour in advance I ordered placeholders via phone The cost was 35 NIS per person and the tours duration was about 75 minutes Arriving at Galili olive Oil farm The Tour We started the tour by looking at several different olive species Did you know there are around 300 different olive species But when scientists checked them they found out that the origin of all species is the Syrian olive species modern Syria and Lebanon area Then we went to the olives grove We got explanations about the grove It turns out that the size of the olive is directly related to the amount of water the tree received Galili olive Oil is an organic farm Their method of green pest control is these yellow insect smell repel The females of olive flies do not like the smell and this help to keep olives safe Olives Picking Methods Then we talked about different olive picking techniques Manual picking methods The simplest way is manual one by one picking For the Next two manual picking methods in most cases people first lay nets down under the olive trees and then collect the olives from the nets Another manual picking method is using a little rake and comb the olives of the branches you can see the yellow rake on the third image in this post Combing was the primary method that Galili used up until several years ago As I understood this method is popular in Italy and Greece Another technique is hitting branches using sticks When olive branches get knocked the olive falls on the net and later collected by people This technique is quite popular in Israel and I saw it multiple times in Arab villages Semiautomatic methods Two semiautomatic ways operate similarly They create vibrations and the olives fall on the net The difference is the source of vibration There is a vibrating stick that used on each branch separately and there is small machinery that vibrates the whole tree Galili olive Oil started to use these methods in recent years If you squeeze on oil and get such color this means that the oil will be okay Picking Olives After the explanations we started accumulating the olives Ticket price includes a small plastic tank about 330 ccs And each of us had to fill it up to 85 Why not full Olives cant be eaten straight from the tree They can but they are not very tasty Thus you need to use some recipe to make them eatable And this additional space is left for the extra ingredients that are added later After filling the tanks on our way back to the visitor center we fed the goats with olive branches At The Visitor Center Back at the visitor center we saw a short film about the process of creating olive oil In the background of the photo above you can see the olive press But since it was Saturday and the oil has to be kosher they did not start up the machine Here you can see the two recipes for creating marinated olives The guide mentioned the method on the right at this the one we used later at home The recipe is quite simple Leave the olives in water for four days each day change the water Then fill with salty water 1 tablespoon per 1 liter a slice of lemon two cloves of garlic bay leaves pepper and seal with a layer of olive oil Then wait for at least for a month Some of the produce in the storevisitors center And this one of our plastic tanks How does it taste I have put a reminder and in four months we will open one of the tanks and let you know Six Month Later After half a year we opened the cans with olives They were eatable but not tasty They were bitter But this was our fault My wife decided to add several additional spices including rosemary to the recipe mentioned above And rosemary became bitter Thus if it is your first time better stick to the formula Olives Picking At Galili Olive Oil Summary Overall it was an enjoyable experience where both adults and children learned new things If you have not been there then check them out Note You can find similar posts under Agrotourism category Ktofoti SelfPicking In Bethlehem Of Galilee We visited Ktofoti official site in Bethlehem Of Galilee several times and now I want to share my experience Ktofoti is a selfpicking in Bethlehem Of Galilee And before visiting Ktofoti I would recommend checking their website Beyond opening hours which can vary on holidays you can find the list of fruits and vegetables that are currently available on the farm These are the fruits and vegetables you will be picking Entrance costs are 40 NIS per person above the age of 2 25 NIS per family basket and 10 NIS for a small basket We also received a little box for picking strawberries and several knives At Ktofoti We arrived early and started from strawberries And I would recommend coming early and do not forget sunscreen since you will be in the open fields When we finished filling the strawberries box we continued to one of the greenhouses and there we found cherry tomatoes Lettuce in the field Here is our halffull family basket And by this point we understood that we made a mistake When picking fruits and vegetables start with the firm ones Start with potatoes carrots onions cauliflower and only then pick up more delicate soft things like tomatoes and cherries And green leaves like lettuce and various spices should be left to the very end Since they will start going bad quickly under the blazing sun And these tall flowers about 17m tall are Artichokes Potatoes Earlier on a tractor passed there so there was no need to dig out the potatoes We merely walked and collected them One more thing worth mentioning is that there are guides in the fields If you have any questions or need help they are there For example when we reached regular carrots it was tough to pull them by hand There was a guide with tools that helped us Peas You can eat them straight from the bush Cauliflower is hiding between those giant leaves Cabbage Can you guess what this plant is That is broccoli and this is how it looks in the beginning Over time it becomes denser till it is the broccoli that we see in grocery stores Garlic After about 25 hours of picking we filled our family basket There were also some flowers you could pick but my daughter preferred feeding goats with lettuce Thus we left the flowers On the entrance which is also the exit you can find empty plastic bags You fill them with whatever you picked up Ktofoti Summary While I was there I heard that some families complain about the price And indeed for a big family it is not cheap But if you do it smart you can return more than half of the cost via the vegetables and fruits you pick There is also a coupon on the official site that will save you a few pennies After considering this the price might be not that scary and overall we loved it It is a fun experience for the whole family And I want my kids to know that vegetables and fruits are not growing in the supermarket Derech Hatavlinim at Beit Lehem Haglilit Basic Info Derech Hatavlinim is located near Beit Lehem Haglilit official site The owners Zithershpieler family has been growing herbs and spices for more than 50 years Today near the fields you can find a big store The store has a big assortment of herbs spices and teas There are also some cookware and knives And recently a small eating place was opened on site The farm grows dries and blends spices and herbs and also allows the general public to buy products in its substantial open market The farms owner Avi Zitherspieler has worked in herbspice agriculture since childhood Both Avi and his family have been accumulating knowledge and experience for many years making the quest for a new way of life a family mission Avi an herbalist strives to share his knowledge with the public and personally conducts lectures and workshops Groups visiting the farm can enjoy a lecture regarding the numerous uses of spices and an endless supply of ideas designed to change their lives using spices Derech Hatavlinim offers over 1000 different products including dried spices herbs herb and spice blends and mixtures for cooking natural dried fruit and healthy blends and infusions which are all displayed and sold in the market in which you can enjoy their enticing aroma and taste Source all quotes unless stated otherwise were taken from relevant official sites At The Farm Whenever we in the area my wife drags me there But what can I say I love their smoked sweet paprika It combines well with meat When you enter Derech Hatavlinim store you take a basket a marker and a stack of plastic boxes The boxes come in two sizes the bigger ones about 500 ml and smaller ones about 250 ml When you find the spice you like you fill one of the plastic boxes and using the marker write the name of the spice and maybe preparation instructions for yourself Black sesame seeds Spices A row of different spice combinations to be added to rice This is the row of various green teas Wine That is quite a new machine have not seen it on our previous visit It makes tahini The image below consists of five different photos describing the process In the beginning they are filling the upper tank with sesame seeds Then the machine is turned on and it starts grinding the seeds by rotating top wheel The result is poured slowly into a container There are one time spoons and you can taste the result I did and as expected it was sour and heavy That is what Israeli call raw tahini You never eat it as is well rarely probably beside some health fanatics but always add something to it When preparing halva for example they are adding other ingredients like sugarhoney and nuts Different green teas mixes Storage boxes Most of the year there is only the store but sometimes on holidays they offer additional activities mostly tours as the annual paprika festival We joined several times short tours Usually they take you out into the fields and tell about different spices and their usage and healing capabilities Nice free halfhour tours Here is Lavender that I shot during one of the journeys And this is Mandarin orange tree in front the store Derech Hatavlinim Summary If you love spices herbs or teas then this is the place for you They have a wide variety of products with recipes in one place Otherwise wait for holidays there are usually tours and activities on holidays or combine it with nearby attractions Hike At Alonei Abba Nature Reserve Alonei Abba Nature Reserve is located next to Alonei Abba which means Abbas Oaks in Hebrew It is a small village near Bethlehem Of Galilee We visited Alonei Abba Nature Reserve during February which is the perfect time to see the blooming flowers Adjacent to the Nature Reserve there is free parking and when we started the hike we saw this sign The Nature Reserve and the village are called Abbas Oaks Who was Abba Abba Berdichev was one of the seven paratroopers that were captured and executed by the Germans during Second World War In 1994 a 950dunam nature reserve was declared close by to the north The reserve is home to Valonia oak trees Quercus macrolepis and Palestine Oak Quercus calliprinos Other flora in the forest includes Pistacia palaestina Styrax officinalis Carob Rhamnus palaestinus and Judas trees Most of the reserve is open for experimental grazing by cattle from the moshav Source Wikipedia Anemones From what I read in the net Alonei Abba Nature Reserve is remains of a big forest from Nazareth mountains till Caesarea Most of the trees were cut down by the Ottoman forces during First World War The trees were used as fuel for trains This little forest remained only due to the Templars from Bethlehem of Galilee objections Old oak From what I heard there are two trails One is about 23 round one and the second is a straight one Meaning you go till you reach Basmat Tabun Bedouin town and then turn back As it turned out we did the second route Cyclamens White Anemone New leaves That is how the trail looks Several photos of Anemones Oaks and the sky We started walking at around 10 am and when we approached starting point around noon we saw plenty people having picnics And only when we reached parking we saw cows Hike At Alonei Abba Nature Reserve Summary Overall it is a beautiful and short trail Since the path is not long and light you can probably make it with a stroller it is beloved by families with young children You can probably visit all year round but Spring is the best season for a tour And as I always say come early You will both enjoy the colder weather and will be able to find nearby parking around noon there was no parking in the parking lot and people parked along the road 7513 Summary As you saw there many Agrotourism related attraction at Bethlehem Of Galilee area

Cloud Computing RAID Performance Configuration John Green May 31 1999 Many hardware RAID controllers let you configure how cache is used and when the controller signals completion to the program that requested the IO Your choice of configuration options has a direct effect on RAID subsystem performance and the potential for lost data in the event of a system crash The readahead write policy cache policy and stripe size options that you choose will affect performance Although these controller options are specific to Gateways ADAC RAID controller other RAID controllers have similar configuration options During a read operation the readahead policy determines when the controller will read additional data records into cache If an application program reads data sequentially as the disk stores data then readahead will improve performance The following are the readahead policy options Normalprovides no readahead for a logical hard disk Readaheadlets the controller read additional records into cache Adaptiveturns on readahead when the two most recent disk accesses are for sequential sectors and turns off readahead ie set to normal when the disk accesses revert to random sectors Write policy determines whether IO completion is signaled when data is transferred to the cache or when data is written to disk The following are the write policy options WritebackIO completion is signaled when the data is transferred to cache WritethroughIO completion is signaled after data is written to disk When using the writeback option the data will be lost if a system failure occurs before the data in cache is written to disk Databases using writeback can become corrupt which might require you to take manual recovery measures RAID controllers with a batterybacked cache will retain the data in cache memory during a system failure and complete the write operation when the system restarts Using the writethrough option reduces the potential for lost data because the data is stored on disk upon operation completion Cache policy determines whether reads for a logical hard disk will use cache memory The cache policy options which affect performance are the following Cached IOall reads are buffered into cache memory Direct IOdata is transferred directly to the host application Cached IO is often best for small databases or files Direct IO is often best for large databases Stripe size specifies the segments size when written to each disk in a RAID array The options are 2KB 4KB 8KB 16KB 32KB and 64KB When the disk accesses are mostly for sequential sectors a larger stripe size provides the best read performance When the disk accesses are mostly for random sectors a smaller stripe size is best for performance Although the standard caveats apply ie run performance tests on your applications to find out what configurations work best for you I can make some general comments regarding performance and configurations Adaptive readahead is a good choice because it speeds sequential read operations Writeback generally yields higher throughput than writethrough but writeback is safe to use only with a RAID controller with batterybacked cache Finally you need to select cache policy and stripe size options based on your performance testing TAGS Cloud Data Center 3 comments

Microsoft Exchange Q What is the Outlook saved mail msg file format and what security problems come with its use William Lefkovics Dec 22 2011 A Whether you use an Internet mail account ie POP3 IMAP4 or a Microsoft Exchange Server mailbox content of your account such as messages appointments and contacts is stored in a database Exchange mailbox data is either the proprietary Extensible Storage Engine ESE database with file extension edb on an Exchange Server or a personal folder store pst on a local workstation Many older messaging solutions and some current ones use individual files in a file system for mailbox item storage In most cases these are simple file system files often text files but these items can still be indexed for Microsoft offers a file format msg for storing individual Outlook items in the file system however its not a simple text file that you can view with a text editor such as WordPad or Notepad These msg files are based on Compound File Binary Format and require a MAPIaware application to fully view the storages and streams Microsoft sometimes refers to the msg files as Outlook saved mail Some alternative messaging solutions have developed methods to import Microsofts msgformatted files into their database structures such as by using an Outlook connector tool or other utility Thirdparty msg filemanipulation tools include MSG 2 PST and MsgViewer Pro To create an msg file from an Outlook item such as an email message you can draganddrop the item from an Outlook folder to a folder in Windows Explorer as Figure 1 shows You can also select the Save As menu option from an Outlook item then choose a location to save the item Either way Outlook performs a simple export to the msg file format during this effort Figure 1 Creating an msg file from an Outlook item by dragging and dropping the item from an Outlook folder to a folder in Windows Explorer click image for larger view During the export almost 100 message and attachment properties are included in the new msg file For information about the specific properties see the MSDN article 221 Message Object Properties The message subject is used as the file name with the extension msg added The files are saved to the file system using the current date and time when you save them but the Outlook item within retains its date properties You can easily drag and drop the msg files back into Outlook folders as well essentially stripping msg file formatting and returning the content to Outlook These msg files can be indexed and searched with Windows Desktop Search with the addin for Outlook saved mail indexing which you can download from the Microsoft Download Center The Outlook item file format msg provides a reasonable archive mechanism for Outlook content However using msg files might not be a good thing for your company situation and policies Users can copy content to msg files in the file system removing them from centrally managed storage controls Wayward msg files can provide cause for security concerns because content is easily copied Theres no account security on msg files and no way to prevent users from dragging and dropping Outlook content to Windows Explorer There are some deterrents to the process of saving content as msg files but none are slam dunks in terms of prevention You can implement file screening on Windows servers Windows Server 2003 R2 and later to prevent users from saving msg files on server shares You can also use the Office Customization Tool to set a policy removing the Save As option from the menu system when viewing items in Outlook This option doesnt prevent a manual drag and drop however Ive seen companies run scripts either at logon or at intervals that search for and remove any msg If your company uses Microsoft Information Rights Management IRM to secure and control attachments it should be noted that msg files are not affected by IRM That is msg files arent a file type that IRM can manage For extensive technical documentation on the msg file format see the MSDN article Outlook Item msg File Format TAGS Security Management Mobility
