Like to follow Israeli music but prefer in an English context? We don’t know how we came upon Kol Cambridge but we feel compelled to share it with our subscribers. From their website:

Kol Cambridge is the UK’s only radio show dedicated to Israeli and Jewish music. Kol Cambridge provides listeners with the latest in contemporary Israeli music as well as paying homage to the classics and always ends with a healthy dose of Jewish melodies.

The show also provides listeners with the latest in news from Israel beyond the matsav and has various other exciting features and competitions. Recently Antithesis exclusively interviewed various top Israeli artists while visiting Israel and will be broadcasting the results on the show.

Chances are you can’t tune in when they broadcast live, but no worries — you can listen to a streaming version or download an MP3 of the broadcast. (That allows picky listeners to skip around.) Silly though it may be, there’s a special charm to listening to the DJs’ shpieling yiddishkeit with British accents.

And what’s this? Teapacks playing now! Check it out.

Now there’s no need to drop when you shop. Tmsuk and NTT Communications announced that they will introduce a service robot that follows shoppers and help them navigate in a shopping mall and carry heavy bags, etc. in a large shopping mall in Fukuoka, Japan. RFID technology is used to make this robot inexpensive.

The pilot test will take place in February 2006, at a shopping mall called Diamond Citicle near Fukuoka International Airport.

technorati tags: retro t-shirt, vintage t-shirt

Apparel news usually follows fashion and fad. But this article about the role a t-shirt played in an act of heroism caught our fancy:

A high school history teacher took the T-shirt off his back to catch a premature baby as a woman pregnant with triplets gave birth in a subway stairwell in Berkeley, California.

Lanitta Lewis, 30, was on her way to a doctor’s appointment when she felt the first birth pains and called out for help. She was largely ignored by commuters in the Bay Area Rapid Transit station until Biko Eisen-Martin took notice.

Eisen-Martin, on a break from Berkeley High, ran to a nearby cafe to call an ambulance and returned in time with his T-shirt to catch a 3-pound girl, he said. Paramedics rushed the baby to Children’s Hospital & Research Center Oakland.

The other two girls were delivered by Caesarean section at Alta Bates Summit Medical Center in Berkeley. The first baby was reunited with her younger siblings at Alta Bates Summit and they were attached to feeding tubes but listed in good condition Wednesday, hospital officials said.
