and Brazil recently shared data that seems to point in this direction The study was presented at the recently held Congress of the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE) The researchers wondered whether pigs in a stable group form preferred associations relatedness and social dominance influence social preference The background of the study was that if indeed pairs of preferred partners can be identified it might be a way to ensure better welfare in pigs domestic pigs often experience disruptions in the social bonds at weaning or when being moved from one group to the next The group observed a relatively small group of 24 Přeštice pigs The animals were of mixed gender and consisted of pigs from 3 litters They had access to indoor and outdoor areas the animals were followed for 33 hours over the summer of 2016 Both situations of rest and of activity were taken into account The team of scientists noted that there was only a minor effect of gender on proximity at rest with pigs of the same gender associating more the researchers found that pigs form ‘non-random associations’ which seemed to be mainly determined by factors other than gender They added that additional research will focus on other drivers Also they stressed the importance of considering the behavioural state when examining individual relationships The poster was written by Sébastien Goumon, Gudrun Illman, Iwa Leszkowova and Anne Dostálová, Institute of Animal Science, Prague, Czech Republic; and Mauricio Cantor, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina SHARON – Torah scroll number 655 has traveled far – from a village synagogue in Czechoslovakia to a London synagogue and Temple Sinai in Sharon It escaped destruction during the Holocaust and then survived neglect at a Prague museum before it came to the Sharon synagogue Now the 250-year-old scroll’s odyssey will meet a fitting end Sunday as the congregation celebrates its restoration – and a return to use in worship services “It’s being brought back to life,” said Temple Sinai member Robert Soffer one of those who organized the project to put the parchment scroll back in condition to be unrolled and read A “completion ceremony” will be held at 9:45 a.m Guests will include Rabbi Kevin Hale of Leeds the scribe who lettered and re-stitched the scroll the chairman of the Memorial Scrolls Trust in London where the scroll had been kept as one of 1,564 rescued from Czechoslovakia The scroll will be brought into the synagogue in a procession with nine other Holocaust scrolls including one from Temple Beth Am in Randolph The ceremony will be led by Rabbi Joseph Meszler Scroll 655 has been on permanent loan to Temple Sinai since 1991 As with all other Torah scrolls – which include the first five books of the Hebrew Bible – it’s hand-copied Rabbi Hale said the stitching style and ink condition show it was created around the time of the American Revolutionary War Originally owned by the synagogue in Prestice it was kept in hiding after hundreds of Jews who lived in the town were rounded up by the Nazis in 1941 and sent to the Terezin concentration camp 100 miles away that scroll and others were taken to the Jewish Museum in Prague when – amid the Cold War – the Czech government sold them to British buyers and they were taken to London’s Westminster Synagogue for safekeeping Since then more than 1,000 of the scrolls have been loaned to synagogues in the U.S They would be returned only if the original synagogues were revived – which no one expects Ohrenstein said the Temple Sinai scroll is one of 14 from Prestice Two are in Israel and one remains in London Orhenstein said a restoration like Temple Sinai’s is “very special,” since it bears witness to “our survival and beliefs.” the Temple Sinai scroll could only be displayed because much of the Hebrew script had faded or flaked away The sinews that held the parchment sections together were rotting Rabbi Meszler wanted to repair the scroll soon after he arrived at Temple Sinai a decade ago wouldn’t it be a great to restore it and use it?” said it was too fragile and would cost too much and Rabbi Hale said he thought he could do it He’d just been certified by the Museum Scrolls Trust including the one on display at Temple Beth Am in Randolph The Temple Sinai scroll is too worn and fragile in places for a complete restoration but Rabbi Hale re-inked faded and missing letters and stitched the sections so the scroll can be unrolled “Anything else like this would be in a museum It’s taking its place among more ordinary scrolls.” the Temple Sinai congregation participated in multiple ways – fundraising Now Rabbi Meszler said everyone is ready to watch Rabbi Hale ink the final three letters of the fifth book on Sunday – an “Amen” to the whole project Rabbi Meszler said Scroll 655 will be unrolled for high holiday readings and other special occasions and can be ceremonially carried for bar and bat mitzvahs “Seeing it is a very powerful feeling,” he said “It’s something other people have touched and used They were reading it and studying it 100 years before the Holocaust Draw to conclude the UEFA Youth League group stage The Barça Under 19A side tied 1-1 with Viktoria Plzen with nothing riding on the match as they were group winners whatever the result and vice-president Rafael Yuste from the stands Barça put on a good performance in their final group stage game The game in Stadion TJ Přeštice began frenetically Dani Rodríguez scored a superb free kick after five minutes to put the Catalans 0-1 up however Deml quickly levelled the score for the home side just six minutes later The first half saw debuts for first year Under 19 player Pau Prim and the young Under 16 player in the process becoming the third youngest ever to play in the Youth League for Barça after Lamine Yamal and Ilaix Moriba The pace of the game dropped after the initial flurry but Barça were dominating possession and gradually getting closer to a second goal Lamine Yamal having a good chance to retake the lead The only downside was an injury to Joan Anaya just before halftime No goals in the second half but Barça were still in control Luzzi and Lamine himself having the clearest opportunities to break the deadlock and an Under 19A side that completes a great UYL group stage with 14 from a possible 18 points - unbeaten with four wins and two draws Please upgrade your browser to improve your experience We sat down for a chat with the chef-owner of Sansho… Paul Day is the driving force behind butcher’s shop ‘The Real Meat Society’ and Asian Bib Gourmand restaurant ‘Sansho’ He took some time out to tell us about them and explain his plans for the future.Where did it all begin for you?I was born in Staffordshire and by age 17 was an apprentice at a butcher’s shop and quickly progressed to owning my own business I then had this notion that I wanted to cook and that London was THE place to learn I started out working in a supermarket in Chinatown and from there secured jobs at various Chinese restaurants and finally at Nobu – all of which helped me develop my love of Asian cuisine.What brought you to Prague?Initially I was asked to help set up a restaurant here but that didn’t work out – by which time I had met my wife How did The Real Meat Society start?I opened the butcher’s shop seven years ago (almost 2 years after Sansho) and it was much smaller than it is now I could source all the meat for both the shop and the restaurant knowing its provenance and being assured of the quality How has the shop grown?When I opened The Real Meat Society no other butcher was sourcing their animals directly from the producer Over the years we have worked with farmers and owners of smallholdings who tend to rear breeds native to Middle Europe with the advice and encouragement of the Czech National Veterinary Service we became a fully certified bio/organic butchery We are still the first and only one in the Czech Republic and it has been one of my proudest achievements We also recently enlarged the shop so we have more preparation and storage areas and space for some tables where people can enjoy dishes such as homemade hotdogs In time we would like to produce our own cured meat and charcuterie too And what are your plans for Sansho?With the new larger space at The Real Meat Society I took the difficult decision to close my other business so that I could focus on one shop and one restaurant We have some very exciting plans for Sansho with a refurbishment and a new kitchen installation currently taking place; it will re-open in February after a one month closure – exactly 9 years since we first opened We never sit still and already have plans for research trips to Thailand as we really want to become stronger and achieve greater things It’s important that we enjoy the job that we do and that we all keep learning the chefs also spend at least one day a week at the shop performing butchery and serving customers We caught up with the Czech-born chef-owner on a recent visit to Prague Winner of One Michelin Star in the Newly Launched Michelin
