Nevertheless, the expensiveness of the fees covering diverse licenses, which include things like application for just about every station, Client Access Licenses (CAL) for clientele and server, as nicely as tracking and managing licenses, will tie-up a substantial quantity of business enterprise funds and may take as well long to recover. For example, a computer system running a CAD program (such as AutoCAD or CATIA ) that in the end shares the result of its perform on a network is a fat client.
As they reach the finish of their beneficial industrial life they end up for sale in locations like ebay exactly where they sell (or not!) at prices in between .99p and several hundred pounds depending on the age and specification of the hardware and the aspirations of the seller. The absence of a built-in really hard disk drive indicates that it is not feasible to install added computer software onto thin client computers.
When some customers require the enhanced capabilities of a Computer, thin client computing Figure 1 can often satisfy the bulk of processing demands in industrial applications where data collection and transmission are the most frequent specifications. NB: though thin client computer systems do not have difficult disk drives, they do have USB ports which enables access to 'FAT' formatted memory sticks offering an option place for storing information (files and documents). Thin clientele are inherently safe devices – each physically and electronically.

Public Statement against Planning Commission engaging the World Bank to review pro-poor programs and incorporating Bank's recommendations in the 12th Plan Paper.
The Commission Planning Against Poor ?
The Planning Commission of Government of India commissioning the World Bank to review key anti-poverty schemes of the government such as Public Distribution System (PDS), Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS), Rashtriya Suraksha Bima Yojana (RSBY), Indira Awaas Yojana among others is most shocking and unacceptable. We oppose and reject it in strongest possible terms. It is shocking to see how the UPA II government is undermining India's sovereignty. In 2004, the UPA government had tried to induct the World Bank into the decision making of the Planning Commission directly, and had to back track following the strong public outcry against the move.
The World Bank report, 'Social protection for a changing India,' in two volumes, was released in May 2011.
Having abundant wealth of competent economists and economic institutions in the country, who could do a better job, we are unable to understand the why the Planning Commission has appointed the Bank for this purpose.
The World Bank is an undemocratic institution which has pushed many developing countries into debt trap, influenced policies of countries to the extent that democratically elected governments have been weakened, paved way for the unbridled reign of private corporations; claiming to work for a world free of poverty, but pushing the poor to further destitution; and despite proven negative impacts, it continues to push ahead the neo-liberal model of growth.
This is also reflected in the findings of the report. The report strongly argues against Public Distribution System (PDS), the only support of the poor and vulnerable; recommends a cash transfer mechanism instead of PDS; finds problems with Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREG) and recommends Public Private Partnership (PPP) as a model for social protection.
While there are problems with PDS and MGNREG, and there are many people's organizations engaged in making it more transparent and plugging its shortcomings, the Bank, or the Commission fail to understand that any meddling with those would drive the poor to abject poverty and cause irreversible damage to them.
Implementation of cash transfer mechanism will push the agrarian communities into great difficulties as government will stop purchasing grains from them and it that could cause a rise in the farmer suicides.
We found it ridiculous for the Planning Commission to take an opinion poll through its website asking "Should the Public Distribution System be Universalized again?" The poor who benefit the most from the PDS is not the one who access internet, read English and savvy enough to undertake opinion polls.
However limited the scope of opinion poll is, the result so far of that poll is quite revealing. A few days back the percentage of even the ones privileged to have access to computer and internet voting FOR universalisation was surprisingly high at about 70%!
Similarly, on the 12 challenges posed by the Planning Commission and subsequently opened up to selective discussion by "civil society organisations", despite a skewed and limited public debate within a selected constituency, most of the challenges offered by the Commission were themselves challenged, particularly the ones referring to GDP growth, privatisation in the form of PPPs, and promoting market inclusion.
Why is then the Planning Commission listening to the World Bank (after all, it is a "bank") and not to the voices of the people, even through the limited windows it offers? Instead of the Commission seeking guidance from institutions like the World Bank, it should follow the Constitutionally mandated process of planning, through 73rd and 74th amendments.
The objective of this opinion poll, as well engaging the World Bank to review the pro-poor programs indicate that the 12th Five Year Plan is going to be heavily loaded against the poor; that, whatever left of the welfare state is going to vanish and the people would be left at the mercy of private corporations and market forces.
This is more evident in the recommendations of the report strongly resonate in the issues to the approach to 12th Five Year Plan. The one most significant common aspect is a clear bend towards the public private partnership (PPP) in social sectors like health, education etc. In the presentation of issues for the approach for 12th Plan it is clearly mention that the role of PPP in secondary and tertiary healthcare must be expanded.
The study recommends an intermediate reform option, which would retain a food-based entitlement program but introduce private sector participation in grain procurement and delivery and a more fundamental overhaul of the PDS administration through use of smart cards. The issues to the approach to the 12th Plan clearly spell out reforms in the Modification of Essential commodities Act and APMC Act, which would impact the procurement system and PDS significantly.
From the similarities between the issues to approach the 12th Plan and the World Bank conducted study and with likely the approach paper to be out anytime soon, it seems much of the social protection would be defined by the recommendations of the Bank study.
We express our deep contempt and strong opposition to this. We demand that the Report by the Bank be rejected outright and the issues to the 12th Plan be redrafted, keeping all pro-poor programs intact, and with measure to strengthen them and not making any turns which will weaken it. Schemes like MGNREG are the result of years' long struggles and people of the country are committed to go to any extent to protect it. The objective of the 12th Plan should be democratising the governance through mechanisms to achieve greater transparency, participation and accountability. Commissioning institutes like the World Bank is effectively going in the opposite direction.

I've been using what's called the tiered tape method that was introduced by Gold Coach Joe Slowinski. He wrote an article in Bowling This Month and has a video on it on YouTube, too.
He takes five pieces of tape to make the tier.
I've modified it a little bit and it makes it easier to put together.
I use one full piece of tape on the bottom. Then I cut the ends off of three pieces of full sized tape. Take one of the pieces left and cut in two equal halves. Take two of the remaining pieces and cut them to 3/4's length which will give you two 3/4 pieces and two 1/4 pieces. Place two 3/4 length pieces on the full size tape to start. Then place two of the 1/2 length pieces on top of that and then place the two 1/4 length pieces on top of that. I use one full sized piece of Real Bowler's Tape on top of that to cover the whole tiered tape unit.
I typically place the entire unit towards the bottom of the thumb hole on the front side of the hole. This unit fills in the gap of the tip end of your thumb so that you are not tempted to squeeze the ball during your swing. It sure helped me a lot as I used to squeeze the ball something terrible years ago.
I used to do that in my thumb. Kept it straight. Then, got the molded thumb.
Me2....Since going to a custom, molded thumb, I may or may not need 1 layer of the rough, white tape on the grip side (I like the feel but there isn't always room, depending on the girth of my thumb that day). Before, I was fiddling with tape ALL - THE - TIME. This is much simpler.
If you ever put in tape and find the fit just a little too tight, use a touch of Chapstick on the wide-sides and it will slip out easily. It also solves the problem of swelling if you suffer from that.
Ironically, everyone I know that has a custom thumb still uses tape. I guess if a person can afford 3 or 4 custom thumbs that might be best, but tape is quick and cheap.
Are you guys talking about the Exactacation technique?
Do you use the switchable thumbs stuff, too?
I talked to my PSO and he asked if I was having problems. My answer was no. His recommendation was to stay with what we've done thus far.
I've been reviewing my gear and have decided to get a few balls plugged and redrilled as a result of the new USBC rules.
I'm hoping I like my gear just like before and perhaps even better now.
With Boat convincing me that the dual angle method is the way to go (thanks Boat!), many of my newer balls are drilled with 50 deg. x 3 3/8" x 25 or 30 deg.
Some of the older balls used a bit different PAP measurement. So I'm getting caught up with the new measurements there, too.
If you use a low or no flare ball to determine your PAP, it'll be correct regardless of what ball you use. I have an old Columbia Blue Dot that I used.
Put a piece of white tape on your PAP and throw a few balls making a careful observation to see that the tape creates a solid white dot as the ball leaves your hand and for the first few feet. This will verify your PAP's accuracy. Next, pay close attention to how far the tape is tilted upward and how far it's rotated counter clockwise. This will give you some feeling for your axis tilt and axis rotation. Armed with this information, their are dozens of places that will make recommendations for drilling options based on these values.
the white tape is an old trick, Boat. And, it works.
So is drawing a horizontal line at the equator from oil ring to oil ring. Then dissecting it Vertically from oil ring to oil ring to find your PAP.

The 'Hate Speech' Canard: Ticket to Tyranny
By Tom Blumer 2015-05-12T00:33:14
It's impossible to overstate the importance of the ugliness Pamela Geller has exposed, and how grateful we should be to her.
Geller's "Muhammad Art Exhibit & Contest" in Garland, Texas, on May 3, sponsored by her American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and Jihad Watch, featured "about 350 entries depicting Muhammad" — in drawings and cartoons.
For this — creating drawings and cartoons — radical Islamists have declared that she and others associated with the event must die.
After numerous online and other Islamist death threats during the preceding week, two ISIS-inspired jihadists drove 1,000 miles from Phoenix to Garland's Curtis Culwell Center hoping to carry out the demanded executions. Fortunately, thanks to a heroic police officer's aggressive action, they were killed before they could carry out their plan.
As will be seen shortly, it is no exaggeration to say that long-established organizations in the international "human rights" community opposed the exercise of free speech embodied in that event, and believe that its sponsors and attendees deserve to be punished.
Elite U.S. reactions to Geller's and her attendees' near-death experience demonstrate just how far their campaign against so-called "hate speech" has progressed. The answer is, "farther than almost anyone might have thought."
A much greater than expected swath of elite commentators and pundits on both the left and right clearly believes that Geller and event organizers — again, by exhibiting drawings and cartoons — provoked the attack. Many of them believe the event was an example of "hate speech," and that it should not have taken place. Some have gone further, declaring that it should not have been allowed to take place. Those who truly believe in freedom should be thanking Pamela Geller for helping us identify genuine enemies who until now have cloaked themselves in respectability.
Sadly, the surface desirability of eliminating "hate," especially in speech, is powerful.
After all, the great religions of the world – with the notable exception of certain far from minor strains of Islam — treat genuine hate as sinful. In Catholicism, hatred "(targeted) directly at the person ... is always sinful." Mahatma Gandhi, a Hindu, is credited with saying "Hate the sin, love the sinner."
This nation's Founders were religious too — and uncommonly brilliant. As they declared this nation's independence from Great Britain, they, uniquely in human history, also declared that human beings' rights, including life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, were God-given and not conferred by men or their governments. The Founders' First Amendment-confirmed definition of "liberty" clearly includes the right to say, write, draw, or produce whatever one wishes. Given the intensity of political discourse at the time, it's clear that they did not intend to carve out any kind of exception for "hate."
The creation of the "hate speech" construct is irrefutably communist in origin, and goes back to the afternath of World War II:
... the introduction of hate-speech prohibitions into international law was championed in its heyday by the Soviet Union and allies. Their motive was readily apparent. The communist countries sought to exploit such laws to limit free speech.
The dominant force behind the attempt to adopt an obligation to restrict freedom of expression was the Soviet Union.
The states where criticism of totalitarian ideology was prohibited were the ones that internationalized hate-speech laws.
The initial Soviet-led efforts were too ham-handed and obvious for most of the rest of the then-free world to stomach. So, the definition of hate speech evolved:
... hate speech is any speech, gesture or conduct, writing, or display which is forbidden because it may incite violence or prejudicial action against or by a protected individual or group, or because it disparages or intimidates a protected individual or group.
Now, "hate speech" is a tool to be exploited by the perpetually aggrieved. Note the definition's obvious implication that truly hateful speech directed at anyone who is not a "protected individual" or in a "protected group" cannot be considered "hate speech." People not in protected groups are also apparently not worthy of federal protection when violently threatened.
Unbeknownst to most Americans, the "internationalization" to which the excerpt above refers has left this nation as one of a very few without oppressive "hate speech" laws favoring "protected individuals or groups" on the books. This intensely frustrates the so-called "human rights" community, many of whose members believe that the U.S. is a haven for "hate" and must be ostracized by the international community until it falls in line.

"On the fifth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me….". We're following the Twelve Days of Christmas theme to look back on some of the activities, events and news items that provided an insight into life at Exmoor National Park through 2016.
May burst into life with a couple of launches, walking related events and an honourable mention at the Chelsea Flower Show!
Whilst the blog was started in March, (our first article was by one of our interns, sharing her experience of daily life at Exmoor National Park), we made sure to collect views and opinions before its first public viewing in May. By then we had covered a wide range of topics, from discussion about rewilding to a 'Name our Exmoor Pony Foal' competition.
We hope you agree it's worth it – and please feel free to send in pieces for publication!
Also in May, we launched a new way to discover Exmoor using your smartphone (either Apple or Android) – the Exmoor Walking app.Once loaded, it will alert you to information hot spots, where you can listen to expert audio commentary, send a virtual postcard or even ask us a question!
Having organised nearly 800 guided walks enjoyed by over 4,500 walkers, this year's Walking Festival celebrated its 20th anniversary in style with 32 guided walks, from Croyde to Watchet and down to Dulverton. The festival organiser, Bryan Cath, put its success down to the many regulars who use the festival as their guided walking holiday. "It gives people the confidence to come back at other times to walk in our beautiful scenery." The walking festival coincided with the 40th Anniversary of the Two Moors Way – more of this in our September review!

NCAA - slowly ruining football (rules changes - merged)
Discussion in 'College Football' started by Ohio Steeler, May 31, 2006.
ScriptOhio Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
NCAA approves changes to targeting, overtime rules ahead of 2019 college football season
Targeting is a well-intended penalty but has left too much room for error in the process
As it does every year, the NCAA Playing Rules Oversight Panel approves adjustments to college football's rules in an attempt to improve the game. Of the items up for discussion this year, targeting (surprise, surprise) and overtime were two of the bigger-button issues on the table.
Starting in 2019, the panel has approved an adjustment that removes away some of the gray area that gives targeting a more all-or-nothing feel: "Instant replay officials will be directed to examine all aspects of the play and confirm the targeting foul when all elements of targeting are present. If any element of targeting cannot be confirmed, the replay official will overturn the targeting foul. There will not be an option for letting the call on the field "stand" during a targeting review -- it must either be confirmed or overturned. Games using the halftime video review procedure will continue to use the current process."
That being said, the panel is cracking down harder on repeat offenders -- probably because, theoretically, it'll be harder to eject a player for targeting. Players who commit three targeting fouls in the same season will receive a one-game suspension.
Additionally, the NCAA had made a tweak to college football's overtime rules. If a game reaches a fifth overtime, teams will begin to run alternating two-point plays rather than offensive possessions starting at the 25-yard line. This was done to limit the number of plays run overall.
Other changes ahead of the 2019 season include a 15-yard penalty for forcible contact on blindside blocks, which sounds an awful lot like the elimination of most, if not all, blindside blocks. The NCAA also approved the elimination of the two-man wedge formation on all kickoffs.
Entire article: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/ncaa-approves-changes-to-targeting-overtime-rules-ahead-of-2019-college-football-season/
ScriptOhio, Apr 25, 2019
CFB Refs Have Sights Set On Targeting Fix
The 2019 college football season is an off-year regarding rule changes, at least regarding game play. When it comes to player health and safety, however, rules are constantly up for review.
Five new rules have been implemented this season, and all five are safety related.
Tweaks to the targeting rule is the most significant change, but that's not the only change.
Two-man wedges on kickoff returns have been eliminated and if they occur, it will be a 15-yard penalty. Blindside blocks — with force — have also been eliminated. Officials want to eliminate decleaters where players have no opportunity to protect themselves from a block. This will also be a 15-yard penalty.
Blocking below the waist is also now outlawed for the defense just as it is for the offense.
The final non-targeting change involves overtime. When a game gets to the fifth overtime, the ball will move from the 25-yard line to the 3-yard line and each offense will have one down to score a touchdown. Each successive overtime will proceed in this manner as long as necessary to determine a winner.
But now let's get to targeting, which is defined below.
Easy to understand, right?
The first major change with targeting is that when it goes to review, the play can no longer "stand." It must be confirmed. If it does not get confirmed, there will be no penalty.
"All elements of targeting have to be confirmed, meaning that there won't be a stance — ruling on the field last year, if we weren't sure, the play would stand, and that player would be disqualified," Bill Carollo, the Big Ten Coordinator of Football Officials said last week at Big Ten Media Days.
"This year, all elements have to be confirmed. If not, the player stays in the game. That might be about 10 percent of plays last year, based on the numbers last year, we'll have 10 percent possibly less targeting calls this year. And here's the idea behind it and the thinking and the rationale. We want to get this play correct. It's a very important play as far as health and safety, but it's also the penalty is our largest penalty, so we want to make sure that we get that correct, and if we aren't sure, the player will stay in the game."

Blindside blocks — with force — have also been eliminated. Officials want to eliminate decleaters where players have no opportunity to protect themselves from a block. This will also be a 15-yard penalty.

I was unsure about the scoring starting in the fifth overtime. Bill Carollo, the B1G Coordinator of Football Officials said at media days that starting with the 5th overtime teams will get the ball at the 3-yard line rather than the 25 and have one play to "score a touchdown".
Nobody questioned that statement on the TV coverage; maybe someone asked for a clarification as to whether those are scored as 2-point conversions, which is the way the rule change has been reported in numerous articles this month.
It makes a difference for scoring records and defensive stats for those rare games that get into the 5th OT. Those 'conversions' will only be worth two points, and should not be called TDs by the guy explaining the rule changes.

"Starting in 2019, the panel has approved an adjustment that removes away some of the gray area that gives targeting a more all-or-nothing feel: "Instant replay officials will be directed to examine all aspects of the play and confirm the targeting foul when all elements of targeting are present. If any element of targeting cannot be confirmed, the replay official will overturn the targeting foul. There will not be an option for letting the call on the field 'stand' during a targeting review -- it must either be confirmed or overturned."
I actually like that change. Too many lame calls have been allowed to stand, which is ridiculous given the severe nature of the penalty.

Early indications are that this one is really going to suck, especially for teams like OSU that take pride in WR blocking. I'm not sure that "85 yards through the heart of the South" is a legal play anymore.

Press release: Local Black Lives Matter solidarity fund to share $300k throughout province
By Nova Scotia Advocate - April 28, 2021
Contact: blackfundsns@gmail.com
The Black Lives Matter Solidarity Fund NS (Fund) has partnered with Black community organizations to distribute over $200,000 to support community projects, large and small, in rural and metropolitan areas throughout the province.
The Fund was created last March by Lynn Jones, El Jones, and Rachel Zellars (Administrators) to address the needs of Black community members at the start of the pandemic lock down. Additionally, an accountant was brought on board to help with reporting and transparency. The mutual aid fund aimed to get direct support, via a one-time $100 e-transfer, to people without red tape or delay, and was based on reciprocal trust during a time of rapidly increasing need. The Fund set a modest goal of $10,000, and Administrators began publishing regular financial updates to its homepage for accountability and transparency.
After the execution of George Floyd on May 25, the Administrators were suddenly overwhelmed with donations and sought permission from donors to redirect the funds for larger community projects. The Fund quickly rose to over $300,000, finally closing in early October 2020. Managing large sums of money through e-transfers was incredibly laborious, and as the donations rose, it was important for the group to imagine ways that Black communities throughout the entire province could meaningfully benefit from such a tremendous, generous opportunity. Anchor organizations throughout the province were selected to support community-led projects within their regions.
The provincial anchor organizations are: Menelik Hall Association (Sydney); Upper Big Tracadie Seniors Action Club (Monastery); Cumberland African Nova Scotian Association (Amherst); Upper Hammonds Plains Community Development Association (UHPCDA); Valley African Nova Scotian Development Association (Kentville); and South End Injustice Environmental Society (Shelburne). Two final anchor organizations for the HRM area will be chosen soon.
Final project reports will be sent to the Fund Administrators. As Gina Jones Wilson of Upper Hammonds Plains Community Development Association stated, the shared funds make it "possible for all African Nova Scotian communities across Nova Scotia to have equal access to funding. Our region consists of smaller Black communities, and the funding provided will benefit many smaller organizations and individuals who work to make life better for our people."
While project proposals are still being reviewed, a number of initiatives are already underway in rural communities, such as Shelburne. "I am proud of the fact that we have the strength to rise above any situation when we come together as one voice for all to help each other in a way that improves our communities," says Louise Delisle of South End Injustice Environmental Society (SEED). "Thanks to the Fund organizers for the way they handled the project, showed experience, and for the critical thinking that was needed to bring us together. This process has brought a lot of insight from rural black communities about how to work together and handle many other tasks."
Elizabeth Cooke Sambu of Cumberland African Nova Scotian Association (CANSA) in St. Amherst agrees. "The Fund made evident the need for African Nova Scotian communities in the Northern Region to work more closely together. We all benefit when communities can collaborate on what matters most!"
The Administrators of the Black Lives Matters Solidarity Fund NS will continue to publish updates to their Gofundme page as the projects unfold. The page is here https://www.gofundme.com/f/black-lives-matter-solidarity-fund-ns?utm_campaign=p_cp_url&utm_medium=os&utm_source=customer.

By 1st January 2023, Prague, the capital of Czechia, will shut down two horse-drawn carriage stands located in the Old Town Square and Stromovka Park, joining many world cities that have banned horse carriages or are gradually moving towards banning them.
But this is not a total ban. City Councilor Adam Zábranský said: "This is not a total ban on horse-drawn carriages in the city, but the abolition of two stations in public spaces. We are thus responding to the gradual change in the attitude of Czech society towards animal protection. After the ban on fur farms, caged hens, and the gradual end of training of wild animals in circuses, I see this as another logical step."

I started learning Chinese with traditional characters because my books were from Taiwan and I was learning Hong Kong Cantonese. (I personally think that it is easier to learn traditional characters first, then simplified characters can be picked up and recognized more easily because it does quite work the other way around). It would be great if traditional characters would also be available for Duolingo!
Completely agreed! I'd also prefer that. I'd like to be able to choose.
Thank you so much! Now we need to get them to put Cantonese on here as well!
Is there some version for android devices?

Israeli Strikes on Gaza: 3 Civilians wounded and Buildings Damaged
Palestinian Centre for Human Rights, December 27, 2020
Three Palestinian civilians, including a child, were wounded and many civilian buildings were damaged due to IOF air strikes in a densely populated area in Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
According to investigations conducted by the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR), at approximately 00:40 on Saturday, 26 December 2020, Israeli warplanes fired 5 missiles at an empty land near a residential compound on Salah al-Din Street, east of Tuffah neighborhood, east of Gaza City. As a result, 3 civilians, including a child, sustained wounds as the windows shattered. The wounded were: Yasmeen Mohammed Yehia al-Ashqar (6), Hani Mahdi Rasheed Hajjaj (55) and 'Emad Khamis 'Ali al-Haddad (32).
The IOF air strikes caused varying damage to many facilities and civilian objects -mostly shattered windows and displaced doors. The damaged establishments include al-Durra Children's Hospital, a Ministry of Social Development rehabilitation center for persons with disabilities, Shuhada Gaza Elementary School, eastern Gaza Directorate of Education training center, al-Wedad Mosque, Al-Tuffah Club Stadium, and al-Yaziji Group Company for Soft Drinks. It should be noted that the eastern facade of Yaziji Group Company was destroyed, windows were broken, and its tin-plate roof collapsed.
Furthermore, Ramlawi Plastic Company, al-Sawaferi carpentry, Omar al-Shendi's spare parts shop, the electricity network and many houses sustained severe damage due to the intensive aerial strikes.
The IOF air strikes not only caused material damage, but also caused fear and panic among the civilian residents, especially women and children.
PCHR emphasizes that the continued Israeli attacks on populated residential areas and the use of weapons on the basis of collective reprisals constitute grave violations of the four Geneva Conventions of 1949, amounting to war crimes.
PCHR calls upon the international community to immediately intervene to stop Israel's crimes and reiterates its call upon the High Contracting Parties to the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention to fulfill their obligations under Article 1; i.e., to respect and ensure respect for the Convention in all circumstances and their obligations under Article 146 to prosecute persons alleged to commit grave breaches of the Fourth Geneva Convention. These grave breaches constitute war crimes under Article 147 of the same Convention and Protocol (I) Additional to the Geneva Conventions regarding the guarantee of Palestinian civilians' right to protection in the oPt.

Biden needs to reverse Pompeo on Israel/Palestine
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, left, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu make a joint statement after meeting in Jerusalem, Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020. (AP Photo/Maya Alleruzzo, Pool)
Tsela Barr and Jeff Spitzer-Resnick, The Cap Times, Dec 4, 2020
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in another lame-duck effort to tie the hands of the incoming administration and give a parting gift to the far right in Israel and to right-wing Christian Evangelicals at home, has just poured kerosene on the fire of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The most senior U.S. official ever to publicly visit an Israeli settlement on occupied Palestinian land in the West Bank, Pompeo proclaimed that settlement-produced goods imported to the U.S. will no longer be labeled as they had previously been, "made in West Bank/Gaza." Instead, they can now be labeled "made in Israel," despite the fact that neither U.S. law, nor the United Nations, recognizes Israel's de facto annexation of large swaths of Palestinian territory.
Trump and Pompeo hope to drive one more nail in the coffin of long-standing official U.S. policy, which, while not sufficiently supportive of the aspirations of the Palestinians for legitimate self-governance on their own land, at least until now has held the settlement enterprise to be illegal, illegitimate, counterproductive to the cause of regional peace and stability, and even damaging to Israel's own interests.
But there is an even more dangerous part of Pompeo's pronouncements: that henceforth, the U.S. will officially label the international grassroots movement known as Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) as anti-Semitic and will create what amounts to a blacklist of organizations that support it.
The BDS movement is an international effort by millions of people to try to pressure the Israeli government to respect the human, political and economic rights of Palestinians. It is inspired by a similar movement that targeted and helped overthrow apartheid rule in South Africa.
While, as American Jews, we have serious concerns about rising anti-Semitism, which is traditionally defined as hostility to, prejudice toward, or discrimination against Jews, we are united in opposition to labeling BDS (or other criticism of Israeli policies), as anti-Semitic and even worse, to using the power of governments at all levels to outlaw or punish the BDS movement.
Labelling BDS and other criticism of Israel as anti-Semitic is a cynical move to suppress speech and action critical of Israeli violations of human rights. This is plainly and simply wrong, and indeed dangerous. What happens when actual anti-Semitism does take place? Will it be taken seriously when politicians make up their own contemptuous definitions of genuine hatred of our people?
In 2018, we worked together to try to stop such an effort right here in Wisconsin, where both then-Gov. Walker and the majority of the Wisconsin Legislature — from both parties — succeeded in writing unconstitutional anti-BDS legislation into law.
All who believe in free speech and the right to press governments to end injustices must speak out against yet another authoritarian move from this lame-duck administration. We call upon the incoming Biden administration to firmly reject Trump and Pompeo's Israel/Palestine policy, including the dangerous BDS-as-anti-Semitism falsehood.
While Pompeo's last-ditch efforts may make finding a just solution for the decades old Israeli-Palestinian conflict more difficult for President-elect Biden, they don't make it any less necessary.

Update: December 3, 2020 Rep. Mark Pocan Virtual Town Hall on Palestine
Please thank Rep. Pocan for participating in the town hall and for being a champion for Palestinian rights. His DC office line is (202) 225-2906.
The town hall was an amazing event that you don't want to miss. The situation for Palestinians is so dire in so many ways, and hearing their stories directly should spur us all to action.
It's not easy for Members of Congress to take a principled position on Palestinian rights, but Congressman Pocan has been on the frontlines despite the risks and pushback. In his town hall speech, he lists some of the amazing initiatives he's led or participated in on Capitol Hill related to Palestinian rights just this year, and the list is admirable. Please take a minute to call his office and show appreciation for all he's done.
Thanks for your activism,
Raed Jarrar
Advocacy Director, American Muslims for Palestine
Rep. Mark Pocan will be holding a virtual town hall this Thursday, December 3 at 9:30 am CT on Palestine, covering the impact of COVID-19 in Gaza and demolitions in the West Bank.

Children Die in Home Fire During Power Outage
Ref: 85/2020, 02 September 2020
Three siblings from al-Nuseirat refugee camp, Central Gaza Strip, died after fire broke out in their house caused by a lit candle used for light during power outage on Tuesday, 01 September 2020; a manifestation of Gaza's chronic electricity crisis. The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) expresses its deep grieve and sorrow for the death of the three children and reiterates its warning that the electricity crisis will lead to more catastrophic repercussions on the lives of the Gaza Strip residents, including their right to life, security and personal safety, unless urgent and permanent solutions are founded for this prolonged crisis.
According to PCHR's investigations, at approximately 21:15 on Tuesday, 01 September 2020, a fire broke out in Omar Mahmoud al-Hazin's house in al-Nuseirat refugee camp, Central Gaza Strip, caused by a candle lit for light during the power outage in his children's bedroom. As a result, Yusuf (6), Mahmoud (5), and Mohammed (3) burned to death. The three children were transferred via an ambulance to al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir al-Balah and were pronounced dead upon arrival, according to medical sources. The competent authorities opened an investigation into the incident. The death of the three children increases the number of victims who lost their lives in fires that could have been avoided were it not for the power crisis to more than 30, the majority of which are children.
The Gaza Strip suffers a chronic power crisis since 2007, wherein the best case scenario available power reaches 180 Megawatts (120 MW from Israel, and 60 MW from the Gaza Power Plant), a far cry from its 500 MW minimum need. The power crisis exacerbated due to the shutdown of Gaza's only power plant since 18 August 2020, after the Israeli authorities banned the entry of fuel needed for its operation. As a result, the power deficit reached 75%, forcing citizens to use alternative means to light their homes due to the power outrage for more than 20 hours a day.
Although the Israeli authorities allowed the re-entry of fuel into the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, 01 September 2020, after a Qatar-brokered understanding was reached between Israel and Hamas Movement, and despite that the Gaza Power Plant resumed its operations and power supply hours witnessed an improvement; the power crisis continues with a 64% power deficit.
PCHR expresses its deep sorrow and mourns the death of 3 children, and calls upon:
• The international community to force the Israeli authorities to abandon the policy of collective punishment imposed on the population of the Gaza Strip, and to abide by its responsibilities, as the occupying power of the Gaza Strip to its population, under the rules of international humanitarian law (IHL); and to pressure Israel to allow the entry of all the Gaza strip population's basic needs, including fuel required to operate the Gaza Power Plant;
• All competent authorities to launch awareness campaigns on alternative power options during power outages to reduce the catastrophic impact of their misuse; and
• Parents and families to adhere to public safety standards and keep children away from the risks of alternative lighting methods.

MADRID: Spain's Supreme Court on Wednesday confirmed a 21-month jail sentence and 2.09-million-euro ($2.25 million) fine imposed on Lionel Messi for tax fraud, months after the Barcelona football star lodged an appeal.
The Argentina international and his father Jorge Horacio Messi were in July 2016 found guilty of using companies in Belize, Britain, Switzerland and Uruguay to avoid paying taxes on 4.16 million euros of Messi's income earned from his image rights from 2007-09.
Both Messi and his father were given 21 months in jail -- sentences likely to be suspended as is common in Spain for first offences for non-violent crimes carrying a sentence of less than two years.
While the court confirmed the sentence for Messi on Wednesday, it reduced it to 15 months jail for his father, taking into account that his football star son had paid back the defrauded money to tax authorities.
During last year's trial, Messi had argued that he trusted his father with his finances and "knew nothing" about how his wealth was managed.
But the Supreme Court argued that he would have known about his obligation to pay taxes on income earned from his image rights.
Messi's tax fraud trial in June last year took place against a backdrop of simmering voter anger over steep cuts to health and social spending, as the government struggles to bring Spain's public deficit down.


Ernesto Valverde has revealed that Lionel Messi faces a late fitness test ahead of Barcelona's La Liga clash with Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
The champions travel to the Basque Country looking to extend their lead at the top of the table, with Real Madrid having closed to within five points of the Catalans after beating fellow title rivals Atletico Madrid on Saturday.
Barca have drawn each of their last two outings and will look to get back to winning ways on Sunday, though they may have to make do without their talisman due to a recent thigh injury. As quoted by the Evening Standard, Valverde said of Messi: "As always, we have to wait to make a decision.
"The other day [Wednesday's Copa del Rey match] we did not want to risk him and we are in a similar situation tomorrow.
Lionel Messi has failed to score or assist in just *four* of his games this season.
Messi was named among the substitutes as Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final tie on Wednesday, though the Argentine was brought on as a second half substitute.
Fellow forward Ousmane Dembele is also in line to return to the fold for Sunday's trip to Bilbao, having missed out through injury in recent matches.
However, the champions will be without key midfielder Arthur, after the Brazilian sustained a hamstring injury which is set to keep him out of action until next month.
Barca's defensive issues have also suffered a blow, with Jordi Alba suspended for Sunday's game, leaving the Blaugrana without a recognised left back.

Le SV Hindenburg Allenstein fut un club allemand de football localisé à Allenstein, en Prusse orientale. De nos jours, cette localité porte le nom d'Olsztyn. Elle est le chef lieu de la Voïvodie de Varmie-Mazurie, en Pologne.

Le club fut fondé en 1921 sous l'appellation de SV Hindenburg Allenstein. En 1929, le club accéda à la plus haute division régionale.

Après l'arrivée au pouvoir des Nazis, en 1933, les compétitions de football furent réformées. Le SV Hindenburg fut alors versé dans la Gauliga Ostpeussen. Le cercle en remporta trois fois le titre et participa autant de fois à la phase finale du Championnat national.

En 1936, il termina dernier d'un groupe de quatre, remporté par le FC Schalke 04. L'année suivante, il se classa  sur quatre, d'une poule gagnée par le Hamburger SV. Il obtint le même résultat en 1939.

Après le début du second conflit mondial, leSV Hindenburg Allenstein céda la place au Standort MSV Hindenburg, l'équipe d'une unité militaire.

À la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, la ville d'Allenstein fut attribuée à la Pologne. La population allemande fut expulsée. Comme tous les clubs allemands de la région, le club du SV Hindenburg Allenstein disparut.

Bennington should bring in an outside law enforcement expert to review the police department, Attorney General T.J. Donovan said Monday, following revelations they failed to pass on reports that a white nationalist was hoarding guns and high-capacity magazines.
"This action step will promote and maintain the public trust in the Bennington Police Department," Donovan said. He said he has spoken to Bennington Town Manager Stuart Hurd Monday to urge him to hire a consultant.
Hurd said the town was open to a review or assessment, and was seeking independent organizations or individuals who would be able to assist.
"We feel very confident that we are operating correctly on these matters," he said.
Bennington police chief Paul Doucette, and Bennington State's Attorney Erica Marthage did not return phone calls for comment Tuesday.
Donovan's call came after the state branch of the NAACP and the ACLU of Vermont called for state officials to investigate why Bennington officials failed to share an October police report concerning Max Misch, the self-identified white nationalist who "trolled" former state Rep. Kiah Morris.
Bennington police received a call from Misch's ex-wife's therapist on Oct. 16, reporting that Misch was a white supremacist in possession of an AK-47 rifle and several 30-round magazines.
Misch pleaded not guilty to violating Vermont's new ban on high-capacity magazines last week.
According to the October police report, Bennington police contacted Misch's ex-wife, Lisa Shapiro, by phone. The police report specifically mentions Morris and her husband, James Lawton.
"She told me she was concerned due to Max being a white supremacist/narcissist," Cpl. Roscoe Harrington wrote in the October report. "Lisa told me that Max saw a picture online of the firearms James Lawton owns and that he purchased the rifle because he has to be "one up on Lawton."
Shapiro told Harrington that Misch bought an AK-47 online around Oct. 1, doing the paperwork through a local gun shop.
"Lisa told me that since he purchased the AK-47 he had gone to New Hampshire where he purchased several 30 magazines for the rifle," Harrington wrote.
Vermont passed a law banning 30-round magazines last year; gun dealers were given until Oct. 1 to sell any remaining stock.
"Our investigation was that Misch purchased these magazines locally, prior to the ban going into effect, therefore he did not commit any type of crime," Doucette told the Bennington Banner last week.
At the time of Shapiro's report, the Vermont State Police and the Attorney General's Office were investigating the threats and racial harassment against Morris and her family.
Doucette and Det. Sgt. Larry Cole visited Shapiro the following day.
Donovan was unaware of the October report when he announced at a mid-January news conference that no charges would be filed in the case.
Shortly after, Donovan was tipped off about the October report, he said. A Vermont State Police trooper spoke to Shapiro, who said Misch was a "proud member of the Green Mountain Goys," a local white supremacist group.
"The significance of Bennington officials withholding relevant evidence must not be overlooked, particularly considering Bennington law enforcement's track record," Tabitha Pohl-Moore, executive director of the Vermont NAACP, and ACLU of Vermont director James Lyall, said in the joint statement released Monday.
Tuesday, Lyall said that the decision to investigate or bring in an outside investigator should not be left to the town of Bennington.
"Vermont needs to do that work," he said.
The failure to hand over the evidence, he said, is just the latest example of dysfunction in the Bennington police department.
An ACLU lawsuit against Doucette and the town of Bennington over the failure to address racial bias is currently ongoing.

Hermansson vs Strickland Odds (UFC Fight Night 200, 2022)
All odds are per FanDuel as of February 1.
Jack Hermansson +172
Sean Strickland -215
Where and When to Watch
Date: Saturday, February 5
Time: 10:00 PM EDT
Location: UFC Apex in Enterprise, NV
Watch: ESPN
Jack Hermansson Hoping to Gain Momentum
From May 2018 to September 2019, Hermansson was one of the hottest topics in the UFC, having won four big fights. His run started with a technical knockout win over Thales Leites, after which he defeated Gerald Meerschaert and David Branch, both by submission.
His fourth straight win happened against Ronaldo Souza Jacare in April 2019 at UFC Fight Night 150, which was Hermansson's first headliner fight in the promotion. Then, in September the same year, he suffered a TKO loss to Jared Cannonier at UFC Fight Night 160 in his second headliner fight.
He bounced back in July 2020 with a win over Kelvin Gastelum, before getting to fight surging Marvin Vettori in another headliner. The event in question was UFC Vegas 16, and after five rounds, Hermansson lost by points.
In May 2021, Hermansson fought Edmen Shabazyan, winning by decision in what was his most recent fight. Some eight months later, it's time for Hermansson to fight again.
Strickland Looking for His Sixth Straight Win
The reason why online sportsbooks see Strickland as the betting favorite is that his recent record is fantastic. He won his previous five fights, two by TKO and three by points. Still, none of his opponents were as good as his next foe.
This, however, doesn't mean he has no experience fighting against elite fighters. For instance, in April 2017, Strickland fought Kamaru Usman, the current UFC Welterweight Champion, as well as the man who's sitting in the #1 position in the UFC Pound-for-Pound Ranking.
Still, back when he fought Strickland, Usman was just starting his UFC journey. Before that fight, he was 9-1 in his pro career.
Knowing all this, you shouldn't be surprised if Strickland ends up losing on Saturday evening. He might be in a great run, but his opponent has more experience fighting at a top-level.
