RS Neo. The RS Neo is a singlehanded British sailboat that was designed by Paul Handley and RS Sailing as a racer and first built in 2017.

Production
The design has been built by RS Sailing in the United Kingdom since 2017 and remains in production.

Design
The RS Neo is a recreational sailing dinghy, with the hull made from RS Comptec PE3 sandwich rotational moulded construction. It has a catboat rig with carbon fibre spars, with a free-standing, two-section mast. The hull has a raked stem, a plumb transom, a transom-hung aluminium alloy rudder controlled by a tiller with an extension and a retractable aluminium alloy daggerboard. The hull alone displaces  and the radial-cut Dacron mainsail has an area of .

The maximum crew weight is .

Factory options include a launching dolly and boat trailer.

Operational history
A description by West Coast Sailing described the Neo as, "a combination of boats - a sporty and fun singlehander - which is also durable and easy to own. The Neo is an inexpensive boat compared to other fiberglass options. Go faster than you'd expect, without spending double the amount on a race boat. Composite spars and advanced sail design on a stable and easily driven hull combine with the strong, low maintenance Rotomolded plastic construction. The Neo is a niche boat that’s accessible, affordable, and keeps things exciting."

Jewish material culture. Jewish material culture has as much variety as the cultures that Jews have taken part in all over the world. Many aspects of the material culture of Jews is shared, such as the ikat fabrics of Bukharan Jews that are dyed in patterns often corresponding to regions rather than ethnicity. Some local textiles and crafts find use in the creation of religious items like torah ark curtains or robes used in Jewish traditions and ceremonies like bar mitzvah, blending the Jewish aspects of culture with the local traditions.

Background

Most studies of Jewish history and daily life in historic times have focused on text sources like the Talmud which gives an incomplete understanding of practices in the daily lives of Jews, and contains some content which is understood to be theoretical. The material culture of Jewish communities was initially overlooked as an area of study but recent work has begun to explore the "questions of transformation of Jewish culture through consumption and material culture".  The idea of studying of material artifacts to shed light on Jewish communities is credited to Ludwig Blau who took as an example similar studies in the area of Christian antiquity.

In the study of material culture clothing and textiles are evaluated for what they tell us about gender, ethnicity, social class and religion.

Uzbekistan

Museum collections of Bukharan Jewish clothes include sequined wedding shawls, khalat robes (worn for the bar mitzvah), suzani torah ark curtains  and ikat dyed pieces. Most of the ikat patterns reflected the city of origin rather than the ethnicity of the wearer. One notable example from the collection of the Israel Museum is a 19th century women's brocade silk coat lined with ikat silk.

The material culture of Bukharan Jews dates in large part to the late 19th and early 20th centuries as this was a time of great prosperity for them in which they built magnificent houses in Bukhara, Samarkand, Kokand and Tashkent. The traditional Jewish Houses have been listed as a World Heritage Site since 1993. Since 2020 efforts are underway to develop conservation strategies to preserve the vernacular architecture of the houses, located on narrow streets of medieval mahalla (neighborhoods), as the city undergoes modernization and urban development.

Jews were known for their skilled work dyeing and weaving textiles, especially Cashmere wool and silks. Henry Lansdell described a scene from a bazaar in Tashkent. The silk threads he purchased from the Jewish merchants there are today in the collection of the British museum: "We purchased pocket handkerchiefs and skeins of native silk, the latter very glossy, and dyed and sold largely by the Jews, who from the numbers we saw in the bazaar, and their begrimed appearance, gave one the idea that they engage a good deal in handicrafts, especially dyeing."

Tujunga Wash Greenway. The Tujunga Wash Greenway and Bike Path is a trail and stormwater mitigation project  in the Valley Village and Valley Glen neighborhoods of California’s San Fernando Valley. 

Tujunga Wash is a tributary of the Los Angeles River; Tujunga has its own tributary, Pacoima Wash. The wash was channelized for flood control by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in the 1950s. 

Created between 2007 and 2012, the -long greenbelt extends from Oxnard Street in the south to Vanowen Street in the north. It “takes urban runoff from the flood control channel and creates a new stream with some of the natural characteristics from the Tujunga Wash, while native plants in the streambed help clean the water and establish habitat for animals such as birds, frogs and lizards.” The naturalized side channel within the greenway is a bioswale that recharges groundwater with an average of  annually. The  riparian habitat lies within a  greenbelt. 

Designed to attract both “migratory birds and pedestrians,” the Los Angeles Times said the beautification project “combines art and nature,” with the art aspect being the sculpted metal gates at the bike path entrances and the Great Wall of Los Angeles mural that’s been called “a California history lesson in sixth-tenths of a mile.”

The Class I bike path runs for  from Oxnard Street to Burbank Boulevard between the neighborhoods of the Van Nuys and North Hollywood. The road surface is mix of concrete, asphalt and gravel. 

At its southern terminus of Chandler Boulevard the Tujunga Wash Bike Path intersects with the  G Line Bikeway.

There are access points at the corner of Laurel Canyon Boulevard and Oxnard Street, as well as Fallbrook Avenue, Lassen Street, Coldwater Canyon Drive, Nordhoff Street, Saticoy Street, and DeSoto Avenue. One local guide advises, “There are crossings every quarter-mile or so, except for about one mile in between Coldwater Canyon and Busch Motorway, where there are no crossings until it hits Saticoy Street.”
