Ayelet- a Story of Respect, Passion and Money.

"Ayelet"– The Federation of Non-Olympic Competitive Sport in Israel– was founded in 1996 as part of the reform in the organizational structure of sport in Israel."Ayelet" was founded on the basis of an organization called Eyal, established in 1987 due to the need for a body that would represent the interests of all the sporting bodies not included in existing frameworks. Ayelet has a facebook page that I really recommend liking to keep up with Israel's amazing achievements. Let's give some examples.

Nimrod Marcus, 16, Jerusalem, is a student at HaNisuei High School. He is also the world champion of sport climbing. This year he became the first Israeli teen to win this coveted title and he did so with no funding  from the state whatsoever. Ayelet has supported him throughout his training and covered some of his expenses. If not for Ayelet he wouldn’t have gotten this far.

Nili Block, 21, Modien, top athlete, won the world championship in Thai boxing just last week. After climbing from the underdog position she knocked out the French contestant in a fearless battle over the title! Ayelet pays for her flights and cover some of her training. Block has thanked Ayelet in her interview after winning.

There are many more examples of all the good that Ayelet has done. It is obscured to me that top athletes such as Marcus, Block and many more have to pay for what they do so professionally while Israel enjoys the respect and fame. Ayelet should be a government led program and get financed by the state.

The Clone Club

The Clone Club

What would you do if you went to the train station and saw someone who looks exactly like you commit suicide? Well.. this is how the first episode of the successful sci-fi series "Orphan Black" begins, starring the amazing Tatiana Maslany.

Say hello to Sarah Manning. Sarah's life is rather complicated, so after she goes through the dead girl's handbag, she decides to take her identity in order to run away from her problems. The thing is… the dead girl was a cop. A little later after that, she meets a German woman, who also looks identical to her, but before Sarah gets the chance to ask her about what the hell is going on, she gets shot in the head right next to her. When she finally meets Alison (the "soccer mom") and Cosima (the lesbian scientist), yes- both also look the same as she, Sarah gets some explanations- "We're clones. We're like lab rats in an illegal experiment", Said Alison, and things got shaken up even more.

With no further spoilers, and if you're still not convinced, I urge you to watch this show to enjoy some really crazy acting skills. Tatiana Maslany is so talented and authentic, that sometimes I honestly forget that all the different characters are actually played by the same person. She also won the Emmy Awards for "Best Lead Actress" in the drama category.

Except the Brilliant acting, I also like "Orphan Black" because it celebrates diversity and represents all kinds of genders and sexual preferences. There's a married couple, a gay couple, gay characters and even a transgender clone. So far there were 10 clone characters in the show, each and every one completely different and unique. The character developing is also brilliantly written, and each episode keeps you on the edge of your seat.
