What would Rafal say about Mifal?

(which I wholeheartedly ship against my better judgment btw)

Also, would he consider me a seer?

for reasons...

Hopefully, the answer I came up with isn't too disappointing.

⸻

Rafal: What is "Mifal?"

[After he receives an explanation:]

Rafal: Ergo, you intended to "ship" me with a student... why? I don't love, and I'm not about to make a habit of it. It'd sooner be cold in Hell before that happens. [dismissively, with a note of sarcasm] I think you would better your chances by bringing this query to my brother. I'm sure he'd just rejoice to hear it. Besides, as useful to my cause as he was, Midas was too willful—the boy didn't even follow through with my plans.

Rhian: [overhears and interrupts, mockingly] O, the great Rafal was felled yet again by the error of his ways. You should've known he wouldn't be pliable enough for either of our plots! Even your original class of students sentenced you to life in Monrovia. Loyalty these days is seldom a given among subordinates. [shaking his head.]

Midas: You're one to talk. As if anyone's ever been loyal to me! And, Rafal wanted to ship me with that puffed-up, googly-eyed brother of his? Bleh. What use do I have for him?

[Personally, I'm doubtful about whether Midas would ever admit his feelings openly, given how he can barely tolerate sentimental, Everish customs. Did he have (confirmed or implicit?) feelings for Rafal? I don't think I interpreted his character in the same way as you might've.]

⸻

Which reasons? I don't quite follow what you mean.

[sneakysnowmannightshade07]

honestly, Rafal x (well written) quirky strange character who is also introverted but more "people driven" would be my OTP

Like Mifal is nice but we all know what happened, even I admit it.

Maybe james could slightly pass because he gives "good grades but friendless"

but let's face it, I need someone that makes Rafal so tempted to smile and he's trying so hard not to.

[therealrhian]

This was on my mind lately, I'm more of a rafook person but I might reconsider

A Quick Look At Private Lottery Systems That Claim To Be Related To The Lottery

People around the world enjoy lottery drawings with lotteries as one of the possible ways of winning huge หวย ที่สุดในโลก   amounts of money. There are lotteries for men, women and children who play lottery games to earn some money. There is also a popular game of lotto with international groups playing it regularly. The word "lottery" comes from the Latin "la" meaning lot or pot, and "tract" meaning dice or ball. "Lotto" came into being from the French term "lottery", the name given to the game by the Romans in the 1st century BC.

The first lottery game in the United States was organized by the United States Lottery Commission in January, 1931. It is played in all fifty states, with the proceeds going to support various other's organizations, especially those in the southern part of the United States. "Lotto" has now come to be associated with various others playing games of chance, and people can now win millions of dollars with a single game.

In the United States, the lottery game is usually played by purchasing tickets, which have the power to predict winning combinations. There are three types of lottery games: live, video, and scratch cards. Live draws give the winners cash prizes. Powerball is played in a casino. scratch cards are given away as prizes for various games. Most often prizes for scratch cards are worth only a few dollars.

Many cities throughout the United States, including New York, Cleveland, Chicago and Las Vegas have their own version of the lotto game. Vast numbers of people play both the national lottery and lotto. France, Canada, Italy, Thailand and the Philippines are other countries that have their own version of the lottery. The Canadian lotto has now become known as the Canadian Lottery Combination. A combination of national lottery and lotto is called a national lotto roll.

An interesting type of the lotto is mifal happy, sometimes called the "other numbers" lottery. It is played in the states of Illinois, Wisconsin and California. Like other lotto games, it is a lottery game based on chance. Although no one knows for sure how the game works, there are many clues that lead leading to the possibility of winning.

The game of lotto is believed to have originated in ancient India, as mentioned in the Bible. There are numerous stories of the lotto being used as a form of currency in different civilizations. The state lottery is one of the most popular private lotteries in the world. In the United States alone, more than sixteen billion dollars are won every year.

The southern Israeli city of Be'er Sheva is offering scholarships to students who volunteer with an armed civilian militia, according to the armed group's website, which posted applications for 10,000 shekel scholarships for students who volunteer with the group.

The Sayeret Barel (Hebrew for Barel commandos) militia, established last year as an anti-crime patrol unit, was founded by soon-to-be Otzma Yehudit party Knesset member Almog Cohen, who is seventh on the Religious Zionism list.

Mifal HaPais, Israel's national lottery, provides 15 of the largest cities in Israel around 600 scholarships a year with several conditions: The city will add 5,000 shekels from its own sources to the 5,000 shekels Mifal HaPais provides, and the money will be paid directly into the bank accounts of students who completed at least 140 hours of volunteering with local organizations.

Mifal HaPais said it had first gotten wind about the Sayeret Barel milita's involvement from Haaretz, and that local governments do not provide details about the volunteer organizations participating in the program. An official in the municipality said on Tuesday that the display of the city's logo by the militia was not done with its permission, but did confirm that the municipal youth center is the body that bestows the scholarships.

Mifal Hapais said it “was an undertaking of the local governments in Israel, and acts for their benefit and on behalf of the welfare of their residents. Every local government is free to decide how it allocates the scholarships it is entitled to, and this is according to the priorities, its unique needs and out of a deep understanding of the needs of residents.”

Almog Cohen, a former police officer, deleted his social media accounts after he was placed on the Religious Zionism list due to numerous offensive comments. In one, he called Justice Ministry officials tasked with investigating police misconduct "attack dogs of post-Nazism." Additionally, he called for soldiers to execute Palestinians and disregard their commanders, and has posted homophobic statements on several occassions.

Nabaty wins Israel Championship

The Israel open championship was held on December 8-16 2021 in the old northern city of Tzfat (Safed) by the Israel chess federation, under the auspices of the local municipality and Mifal Hapais (the national lottery). 102 players, including nine GMs and nine IMs competed in nine Swiss rounds  for the top honours as well as for the 80,000 NIS prize-fund. 4 members of the national team led the…

Random but can u ramble Abt mifal

YES! Yes I can, absolutely. They've been on my mind recently after reading another book and listening to my favorite songs.

I do see them being in a reincarnation plot, based on Midas thinking Rafal would bring him back in fall, briefly before he died. I have a mini post about it somewhere in my blog.

I wish Soman had the two spend more time together, as friends or ex lovers or SOMETHING. They didn't even kiss. Like could Soman at least have done a betrayal? (I am a sucker for angst.) I mean, he DID but something that had an even deeper emotional weight, where Rafal felt more guilty.

It could even have gone along where Rafal treats Midas like another James, and everything just circles back to either Rhian-- or James Hook. And Midas is not a second or a replacement, but he feels disappointed in Rafal.

I also love unrequited love, so there was a bonus of some Mifal and more Jafal like COME ON!

But I would love a plot where they reincarnate into the current SGE world, maybe when the main cast are much older at that point, and both of them meet each other, have a connection, but don't really know why. Maybe Midas could be an actual ruler this time, with his unique golden ability while reincarnated Rafal does have some of his magic. (while still being his own person, of course.) I actually theorize that somehow, after the demimagus incident, Rafal and Midas do have a soul-link that operates in some way, shape, or form. And that maybe they knew each other before and "Rafal" and "Midas" are actually other lifetimes. But these are really stupid theories.

I really like how Midas is fearless of Rafal, and I think fearlessness is something Rafal values. Midas pretty much fends for himself, but he also forgives Rafal the deepest and tries to save him from Pan's crossbow, and dies saying his name. James (understandably so) had some resentment when Rafal asked him to try to bring Rufius back. I think Midas embodies what Rafal may want deep inside, and I think both characters have their guilt and their grace. So in that respect, i wish they connected over those feelings as well-- being morally gray, struggling to show emotion and repressing it instead, having guilt and all that. Rafal could have still turned his back on him or-- even worse-- "I haven't forgotten James but you were pretty close to making me. Nice time together while we had it."

Also if it is reincarnation, it could work as karma for Rafal if Midas is resurrected and has memories of Rafal but Rafal is reborn into someone else, and this new person loves Midas first but Midas is still stuck in the past. Sorta like Wisteria's plot.

I wish Midas lived too, maybe to be somewhat corrupted after Rafal's death.

I loved this ask, so thanks!! Let me know if you want more hcs or anything about Mifal. I love them.

ישראל הנסיונית

Experimental Israel is an ongoing research project by Dr. Ophir Ilzetzki. In 2016, supported by Mifal Ha'Pais and the Israeli Center for Digital Art, Ilzetzki was commissioned 

by Daniel Meir and Halas Radio to create an original radiophonic study centred around contemporary Israeli music. As a composer identifying stylistically as experimental, Ilzetzki chose to focus on other Israeli artists who are, in some way, identified with experimentalism. In the two official years of research, Ilzetzki met weekly with prominent figures in the Israeli new music scene - composers, improvisers, sound and multi-media artists. With them, Ilzetzki ruminated in unofficial conversations regarding the main research questions. Yet, Ilzetzki prompted the artists not only to tackle the research questions via interviews, but also artistically; and so, Experimental Israel became one of the most extensive call for new works in Israeli music to date.  

 The main research questions are: How does experimentalism manifest in its artistic form, and specifically music; does the Israeli experimental practice differ from that practiced abroad, and is it possible to detect a distinct Israeli style‫? Despite its conclusions‫, the research does not attempt to suggest definite answers‫, but to place the opaque and widely used term in a clearer context‫. Since the early 90s‫, a bustling new music scene is active in Israel‫, bringing together artists of different genres. Today, these same musicians have already taken their rightful place in the international music scene, making them a fertile ground for queries such as raised by this research. Accordingly, and seeing the research could serve musicians worldwide, Ilzetzki makes sure to summarise each of its interviews into a short article in English. Each article includes the main focal points of the interview, a chronological reconsideration of the fixed research questions, as well as a look at those added during the course of research. Seeing the Israeli experimental scene is constantly growing, and hence, in flux, this research does not, and truly cannot, have a definite conclusion. Therefore, even after its official course has ended, Ilzetzki continues to add new voices to the research archive, so as to expose and clarify the topic even further. In fact, in its inception, the research was introduced as ongoing, and it is our hope that future researchers will refer to it, and continue its course. Thus, at any given moment in time, the research will serve as an up-to-date 'screen‫-shot' of the constantly developing Israeli experimental scene.  

 Experimental Israel is broadcast live from Halas Audio. All interviews, alongside interview summaries, are available in this archive. The programs are also available for download on Spotify. All of the original compositions and musical contributions by the broadcast's guests are available for download on the FMA.

 Experimental Israel was made possible due to the kind support of Mifal HaPais Council for the Culture and Arts, and the Israeli Center for Digital Art.  

  ישראל הנסיונית הינו מחקר-איסוף מתמשך מאת ד"ר אופיר אילזצקי. בשנת 2016, בהזמנת דניאל מאיר ורדיו חאלאס, ובתמיכת מפעל הפיס והמרכז הישראלי לאמנות דיגיטלית בחולון, 

הוזמן אילזצקי ליצור מחקר רדיופוני מקורי שמיקודו מוזיקה חדישה בישראל. כמלחין המזהה עצמו עם הנסיוניות, בחר אילזצקי לחקור אמנים ישראלים נוספים המזוהים, בעיני עצמם או עיני אחרים, עם הנסיוניות. במהלך שתי שנות המחקר הרשמי, נפגש אילזצקי באופן שבועי עם דמויות בולטות מעולם המוזיקה החדישה הישראלית - מלחינים, מאלתרים, ואמני סאונד ומולטי-מדיה. מולם ואיתם תהה אילזצקי, בשיחות בלתי רשמיות, על שאלות המחקר העיקריות. אך אילזצקי גם בקש מכל משתתף להגיב לשאלות המחקר בביטוי אמנותי, ולא רק בשיחה, וכך הפך המחקר בישראל הנסיונית לאחד הקולות הקוראים המקיפים ביותר שידעה המוזיקה הישראלית עד כה.

שאלות המחקר העיקריות הינן: מה היא נסיוניות בביטויה האמנותי, והמוזיקלי בפרט; האם הפעילות הנסיונית בארץ נבדלת מזו שבחו"ל, והאם אפשר להבחין בסגנון ישראלי מובהק? על אף מסקנותיו,לא מבקש המחקר לתת תשובות נחרצות, אלא למקם את המושג הסתום, בעל השימוש הנרחב מדי, במרחב פרשני ברור יותר. מאז שנות ה-90 מתפתחת בישראל סצינת מוזיקה חדישה העושה מיזוג בין אמנים המזוהים עם סוגות שונות; בימינו אנו, לאותה הסצינה כבר שם עולמי, ועל כן היא מהווה קרקע פוריה לתהיות מהסוג שהמחקר הנ"ל מנסה להעלות. בהתאם, וכיוון שלמחקר חשיבות שחוצה את הגבולות הפיזים של ישראל או דוברי השפה העברית בלבד, מקפיד אילזצקי לסכם כל ראיון לכדי מאמר קצר בשפה האנגלית. בתקצירים אלו ניתן למצוא את עיקרי הראיון עם כל אמן, כמו גם התייחסות כרונולוגית לשאלות המחקר הקבועות, ולאלו שהתהוו והתפתחו במהלך המחקר. כיון שהסצינה הנסיונית בישראל גדלה תדיר ועל כן הינה גוף בעל הגדרה נזילה, למחקר האמור אין, ולא יתכן, סוף אמיתי; לכן, גם לאחר סיומו הרשמי של המחקר, מוסיף אילזצקי בקביעות עוד קולות לרשימת הראיונות, אשר יעזרו לחשוף ולהבהיר את הנושא. למעשה, בראשיתו הוצג המחקר ככזה שאינו מתיימר להסתיים, והתקווה היא שחוקרים עתידיים יוסיפו להעזר בו, ואף ימשיכו את דרכו. כך, בכל רגע נתון במהלכה של ההסטוריה המתהווה של מדינתנו, יהווה המחקר סוג של 'צילום מסך' עדכני לסצינה הנסיונית בישראל, ולעברה.  

‫**‬

כל תוכניות ישראל הנסיונית שודרו ומשודרות בשידור חי מרדיו חאלאס, והינן, כמו גם מאמרי הסיכום, זמינות בארכיון שלפניכם. התוכניות זמינות גם להאזנה והורדה ב-Spotify. התגובות האמנותיות והיצירות של אורחי התכנית ניתנות להאזנה והורדה ב-FMA.

המחקר התאפשר הודות לתרומתם האדיבה של מועצת הפיס לתרבות ואמנות, והמרכז הישראלי לאמנות דיגיטלית בחולון.

Press Release:

Through sustained reflection on aesthetics and politics, Sharif Waked (*1964, Nazareth; lives and works in Nazareth and Santa Barbara, California) has consistently pierced the absurdities of reality with playful and estranged encounters between various temporalities, cultural-historical products, and political events. On the occasion of his solo exhibition at CCA – Center for Contemporary Art Tel Aviv, the artist adopted the word Balagan, as its title. This word, which means chaos, disarray and confusion, originally comes from the Persian word “balchan” and it traveled across borders to other languages such as Russian, Yiddish, Lithuanian and Hebrew. Following the artist’s unique modus operandi – which is rooted in the conception of single artworks, often based on appropriated images, which are then “incarnated” (and numerated) several times through different media, formats and techniques – the exhibition includes both existing and recent pieces, linking different bodies of Waked’s work over time.

Just A Moment No. 4 (Away From You) (2011), appropriates footage featuring the Egyptian singer Umm Kulthum, while she sings her iconic song Away From You, focusing on the stamping of her left foot just underneath the dress scraping her heal. While in Bath Time (2012) the artist restaged what would be the end of the day for the “zebra” – in fact a donkey disguised as a zebra – of the Zoo in Gaza, in Just A Moment No. 21 (Shit) (2018), outtakes of the aforementioned work shows its star performing the mainstays of everyday life: eating and shitting.

In Just A Moment No. 19 (Nimrod) (2018) Yitzhak Danziger’s iconic sculpture Nimrod meets the mosquito that in the Islamic narrative entered Nimrod’s ear and made their way into his brain to drive him mad, while in Just A Moment No. 17 (Smiley) (2016) an army of contemporary emojis struggle to save their smiling ancestor from destruction. Who are you? (2014) are twelve abstract figures based on Muammar Gaddafi’s outfits, titled after a fragment of the last speech of the late Libyan leader, in which he promised to hunt his opposition down to the last alley; in Tugra No. 5 (2013), the artist infiltrates Israeli soldiers’ most common directive in Hebrew-inflected Arabic – “rukh min hun!” [Get out of here!] – inside the sixteenth century calligraphic monogram (tughra) of Suleiman the Magnificent.

Crop Marks (2016) sees the artist’s self-portrait in an orange suit subjected to the print-house’s “guillotine,” cut at his neck and along the crop marks of printing and design conventions, whereas in MoM – Museum of Mosul (2017) the footage of ISIS’s destructive actions is reproduced as a promotional film for a now-rebranded museum. While in Contribute A Better Translation No. 1 (2011) an archive of slogans of the Palestinian struggle undergo mechanized translation against a backdrop of visual iconography, in Contribute A Better Translation No. 2 (2011) the Palestinian Declaration of Independence, written by Mahmoud Darwish, is transformed into Yiddish via Google Translate.

Just A Moment No. 15 (Pa-Pa-Pa) (2016) is based on the claim of Israeli criminologist and politician Anat Berko, who said there is no Palestine because there is no P in Arabic, and in Beace Brocess No. 5 (2012) a clip from the Camp David II 2000 peace talks is refracted into the era of silent film. In Just A Moment No. 5 (Jericho First) (2012), the Oslo Agreements of the 1990s meet a detail of a mosaic from the eighth century Umayyads Caliphate. Search (2016), exposes the questions haunting Google Israel, whereas in Jamal Al Mahamel (2016) the barefoot carrier lifting the weight of Jerusalem on his back depicted in Suleiman Mansour’s eponymous work is absent and the city gives to gold dots.

Balagan is also the title of a work on display in the exhibition. It is part of the series Arabesque (2016-ongoing) and in it along with the series dot.txt (2016-ongoing) – Waked disassembles the building blocks of images to reconstruct what appear as geometric abstract surfaces. In these series, Waked questions the division between the visual and the verbal, perception and deception, the visual traditions of the past and the digital manipulations of the present, to deliver in a rather formalistic fashion the questioning, breaking, and remaking of meaning. Following these premises, the exhibition offers a bird’s eye view of Waked’s art, surveying his work as a comprehensive whole.

“Sharif Waked: Balagan” is curated by Nicola Trezzi and it is accompanied by a printed matter in Hebrew, Arabic and English. The exhibition is supported by Mifal HaPais Council for the Culture and Arts. Hospitality kindly provided by OUTSET.

This Fashion Collection Depicts the Staggering Rate of Urbanization

Approximately 10 million textiles are put in national landfills in the United States alone. Shenkar College graduate Dana Cohen has come up with a new way to make these discarded fabrics into new textiles. In Cohen’s process, the used cloths are shredded into monochromatic fibers and then integrated with fresh new ones to create entirely unique, one-of-a-kind felted textiles.

Cohen’s second collection, City Growth, uses images from NASA aerial photographs to depict the massive growth of cities in the past four decades. The collection was awarded the Mifal Hapais award, shown at Tel Aviv Fashion Week and Vietnam Fashion Week, and is now available online.

Other than designing new outfits, Cohen has also been asked to use her method to create artwork and wall tapestry for the Israel Museum, the Mingei Museum in San Diego, and the Tel Aviv Museum of Art.
