# Rob Nairn

Robert G. Nairn (died 30 September 2023) was a South African Buddhist teacher, author and populariser. He was born and grew up in Rhodesia. Nairn was a follower of Tibetan Buddhism, in the Karma Kagyu lineage.

## Academic education and legal career

Graduating from the University of Rhodesia with an LL.B (Hons) (London), Nairn was awarded a Commonwealth Scholarship for postgraduate studies in UK and went on to study criminology, psychology and law at King's College London and to receive a postgraduate diploma in criminology from Edinburgh University. He then returned to Rhodesia to become an advocate of its High Court.
Nairn was appointed as a magistrate at 21, which was the youngest ever appointment of this type in the then Rhodesia. He went on to become the private secretary to Minister of Justice, Law and Order of that country as well as a senior lecturer in law and criminology at the then University of Rhodesia.
Moving to South Africa, Nairn became a senior lecturer in law at the University of Cape Town and later a professor of law and criminology and the Director of the Institute of Criminology at the same institution. In 1979 Nairn published a paper "To Read or Not to Read, Aspects of Prisoners' Rights", which exposed the illegality in international law of the South African law that permitted prison officials to deny prisoners reading materials. This article was picked up by the US press, causing embarrassment to the apartheid government. As a result, Nairn was banned from South African prisons, cutting him off from his main research topic.

## Buddhist path

Nairn's first contact with Buddhism was with a Theravadin monk in the 1960s, and he trained in this tradition for around ten years. From 1989 to 1993 he took part in part of a four-year isolation retreat at the Kagyu Samyé Ling Monastery and Tibetan Centre in Scotland.
Nairn was the African representative for the late Akong Rinpoche and was responsible for eleven Buddhist centres in South Africa and three other African countries.
As he was instructed by the 14th Dalai Lama to teach meditation and Buddhism in 1964 and also instructed by the 16th Gyalwa Karmapa to teach insight meditation in 1979, Nairn spent much of his time teaching and running retreats in Southern Africa as well as the United Kingdom, Ireland, Iceland, the United States, Italy, the Netherlands and Germany.

# Don't Ask Me If I Love

Don't Ask Me If I Love is the first novel of the Israeli film director and writer, Amos Kollek. It was first published in 1971 in New York City.

## Plot

The book tells the story of a young Israeli man named Assaf Ryke, the son of a wealthy manufacturer and supplier of military equipment. The novel is set in the 1960s. Despite his father's intentions to involve him in politics, he desires to become a writer. Ryke narrates part of his service in the Israeli army. During this time, he becomes friends with Ram, who unlike Assaf serves the army with restless patriotism. On one of his military leaves, he meets an American girl named Joy. He instantly becomes fond of her, though he is mostly just attracted to her physically.

## History

Ray Stark invited Kollek to submit a two-page film proposal. When Stark decided not to make the film, he introduced Kollek to a literary agent, and Koollek turned the book into a novel, Don't Ask Me If I Love. Don't Ask Me If I Love was published in New York and made into a film by Barbara Nobel with Kollek in the lead role. The novel is semi-autobiographical. Kollek's father Teddy Kollek said that it made him feel "caricatured." Kollek nevertheless came to New York to help promote his son's film.
Kollek was living in New York while his wife, Janet, attended law school.
The book sold 150,000 copies in paperback.

## Film

Worlds Apart, the English language film based on the novel, opened in 2008 with Kollek in the starring role. The film is about a young Israeli from a prominent family who is serving in the army and seeing a beautiful American who lives in and is part of a social set of Jerusalem Arabs. The low budget film, cost $1 million, received good notices at the Miami International Film Festival.

# Flight Identification of Raptors of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East

Flight Identification of Raptors of Europe, North Africa and the Middle East is a 2016 field guide by Dick Forsman, a Finnish ornithologist, with the purpose of helping the reader identify raptors (birds of prey) in flight. It is part of the Helm Identification Guides series. The book is Forsman's second about raptor identification, following his 1999 book The Raptors of Europe and the Middle East, which also covered perched birds. Unlike the 1999 book, Flight Identification of Raptors covers North Africa, and includes over 60 species (compared to 43 in the first book), with both North African species and rare vagrants to the Western Palearctic region (Europe, North Africa and the Middle East), such as Pallas' fish eagle, being added. The book is a photographic field guide, and contains an introduction, two essays from other authors about topics related to raptors, and descriptions of each of the species covered. There are also discussions of common hybrids, which can make identification more complicated.
The book received positive reviews. On the Birdguides website, Josh Jones called it "a wonderful photo guide" and a "worthy addition to an esteemed series". He particularly praised the quality of the photos (many of which Forsman took himself), which were also praised by other reviewers. In a review for the British Trust for Ornithology website, Su Gough wrote "every bit of this book strikes you with the sheer amount of work and knowledge that has gone into it". Jones, as well as Andy Stoddart, in an otherwise positive review for the website Rare Bird Alert, did comment that the book lacked coverage of the sanctijohannis subspecies of the rough-legged hawk, and that a photograph of the dark morph could have been included. Several reviewers shows how difficult raptor identification is, due to the large number of possible hybrids as well as variation within species.
# Call blocking

Call blocking, also known as call block, call screening, or call rejection, allows a telephone subscriber to block incoming calls from specific telephone numbers. This feature may require an additional payment to the subscriber's telephone company or a third-party.
Call blocking is desired by individuals who wish to block unwanted phone calls. These generally include types of unsolicited calls from telemarketers and robocalls.

## Landlines

Unwanted calls to landlines may be blocked through a number of methods. Some landline phones have built-in call blocking facilities. External call blockers are sold as telephone accessories which plug into existing phones.
Call blockers and related services recently received attention in 2016 from publications including Which? and Consumer Reports in the United Kingdom and United States respectively. Such devices and services enable the user to block a call as it is in progress or alternatively block the number after the call is made. These devices rely on caller ID information and thus a phone blocker requires a caller ID service active on the line for blocking to function.
Treatment of blocked calls may include:
* Sending the caller to voicemail
* Sending the caller to busy signal
* Sending the caller to "Number No Longer in Service"
* Sending the caller to "Keep Ringing"

## Smartphones

There are a multitude of third-party call blocking applications available for smartphones, in addition to the built-in call blocking functions furnished on most models.

## Effectiveness

Many phones permit users to automatically block all unfamiliar phone numbers, but this strategy runs the obvious risk of rejecting a legitimate call. Users often choose instead to vet numbers individually, manually blocking subsequent calls from numbers judged to be spam. This tends to be especially true given spammers' increasing use of so-called "neighbor spoofing", which chooses numbers similar to the user's and is thus designed to increase the probability of answering a call. Mathematical analysis has analyzed the effectiveness of such manual call blocking.
# Coleophora laevipennis

Coleophora laevipennis is a moth of the family Coleophoridae. It is found in Afghanistan.
The larvae feed on Cousinia congesta, Acroptilon repens and Inula grandis. They feed on the leaves of their host plant.
# Ellacombe apparatus

The Ellacombe apparatus is a mechanism devised for performing change ringing on church bells by striking stationary bells with hammers. It does not produce the same sound as full circle ringing due to the absence of Doppler effect as the bells do not rotate, and the lack of a damping effect from the clapper after each strike.

## Operation

The apparatus can be operated by one person, unlike the traditional method, where the bells are rotated through over 360 degrees (full circle ringing) to sound them and one bell-ringer is needed for each bell. Instead the bells are kept static (or "hung dead") and a hammer is struck against the inside of the bell. Each hammer is connected by a rope to a fixed frame in the bell-ringing room. When in use the ropes are taut, and pulling one of the ropes towards the player will strike the hammer against the bell. To enable full circle ringing, the Ellacombe ropes can be slackened to allow the hammers to drop away from the moving bells.
The system was devised in 1821 by Reverend Henry Thomas Ellacombe of Gloucestershire, who first had such a system installed in Bitton in 1822. He created the system as an alternative to using his local ringers, so that he did not have to tolerate behaviour that he saw as unruly. The Revd Ellacombe was the editor of the bell-ringing column of a church periodical called "Church Bells", and was not slow to criticise the actions of bell ringers who did not ring exclusively for church services. A particular target was "prize ringing", where teams from different churches competed for a prize for the best ringing, usually accompanied by a social event. An example was in 1875 when he weighed in with a diatribe against a ringing competition at Slapton in Devon, when he wrote, "We blame the Vicar and churchwardens for allowing the bells to be so prostituted for the benefits of a publican's pocket...".
In practice, the apparatus required considerable expertise for one person to ring changes, which most churches did not have, and it alienated bell-ringers from the church. The sound of a chime was a poor substitute for the rich sound of swinging bells, and the apparatus fell out of fashion. Consequently, the apparatus was removed from many towers in the past, leaving holes in the ceiling and often frames without ropes.
In towers where the apparatus remains in working order it is often still used to play simple call change sequences, hymn tunes, or carols at Christmas. The apparatus is also used when insufficient full circle ringers are available, or where it is no longer safe to swing the bells. There are known be over 400 Ellacombe chimes in working order in the UK and at least 40 in the other parts of the world.
