We really weren't prepared for what we found in Sicily. Yes, we knew that Sicily had been conquered many times–Greeks, Carthaginians, Phoenicians, Romans, Arabs, Normans, Spanish–and we knew there were plenty of ancient archeological sites to visit, but the size, beauty, and the incredible state of preservation of the sites was truly amazing. A caveat: while we have an amateur's interest in archeology, neither of us is really very knowledgeable about the ancient world. We leave that to people smarter and more serious than us.
Part of the reason that the ancient sites are so well preserved is that many are in remote corners of Sicily. That means a rental car or a bus tour. There are a few sites, such as Ortygia in Syracuse, the Greek theater in Taormina that can be easily reached, but most are a drive from the major cities of Catania and Palermo. The good news: a "drive" in Sicily usually means two hours at most. Another option is to join a group and take an excursion by bus, and we saw plenty of those in the parking lots adjoining the sites. The upside to a tour is that you usually get a knowledgeable guide–but not always. We did run into an Italian guide leading a group of thirty in the Villa Romana del Casale site reading verbatim from a guide book. Another Italian guide turned to us, very frustrated and angry, and said in English, "I don't know why they let him in here! He knows nothing about this place." The downside of a bus tour is that you are often in a crowd and herded at the guide's pace, leaving little time to linger at what interests you.
We opted for the rental car and a good guide book. That gave us the flexibility to set our own itinerary and pacing. The visits almost always involved a full day–most sites are enormous. Leave for the site in the morning, tour until early afternoon, eat lunch at a country restaurant, tour a little more, and home for dinner.
We visited five major archeological sites: the Greek theater in Taormina, Villa Romana del Casale, Morgantina, Valle dei Templi, and Segesta. Each was unique and world class. There were many more that we didn't have time to explore.
Easily the most accessible site was the Greek theater in Taormina, literally in Taormina itself. No car necessary–in fact, no cars allowed in the center of town. The theater is actually a Roman theater built on top of a Greek theater. The enormous size, and brick and cement construction techniques do scream Roman, not Greek. The setting is otherworldly, perched on a cliff, the open end of the theater framing a view of Mt. Aetna. Even in ancient times, if the performance was a bust, you had the view to console you. The theater is so well preserved, it is still used for concerts today.
Villa Romana del Casale in remote central Sicily is famous for its absolutely stunning Roman floor mosaics with dramatic hunting scenes, bikini clad women athletes, scenes from the Odyssey, and lots and lots of exotic animals. The site itself is the ruins of a very large Roman villa, now covered and crisscrossed with elevated walkways for visitors. The walkways are extremely narrow and often very crowded. Get there early when the doors are first opened or, as a Dutch couple we met suggested, tour during the afternoon lunch break when every Italian & tour bus group is eating a very big meal.
The other archeological sites were large and open air, and with room for all the tourists and tour groups, so you never felt mobbed.
Close to Villa Romano is Morgantina, the remains of a substantial Greek city perched on two hills. Morgantina is more of a working archeological site, enormous, with only small parts completely excavated. No crowds, in fact, barely anyone at all, even though we were there on the once monthly free admission day. You definitely got sense of a real city — two commercial market places or agoras (the original shopping malls), administrative offices, religious buildings, a theater, public meeting places and grid street pattern with very modern sounding names like West 7th Street. It was a very leisurely stroll in a beautiful setting. Unfortunately, unlike the other sites, there were no amenities (café, water fountain, gift shops) and most of the signs explaining the excavations had faded to a bleached white and were unreadable.
The Valle dei Templi is probably the most famous and visited ancient site in Sicily. And with good reason. Near the town of Agrigento, the Valle dei Templi stretches along a sloping ridge for a mile and has the remains of seven Greek temples, several almost perfectly preserved. The setting, overlooking the sea, is breathtaking. The star is the Temple of Concordia. The size of the Parthenon, it is everything you want in a Greek temple–perfection of proportions, fully intact, and a stunning location. In addition to the temples, the Valle also has a remarkable "garden" in a gorge below the ridge full of citrus trees, palms, and other exotic plants. Here since ancient times, it offers a cool respite from the heat. There is also a moving modern addition, a memorial to heroes who lost their lives fighting violence and corruption around the world, including the two Sicilian judges, Borsellino and Falcone, who were murdered by the Mafia in 1992.
Perhaps the most evocative and picturesque of all the ancient sites we visited was Segesta. It is about and hour and a half west of Palermo in the hilly, remote Sicilian countryside. The good news is that the main east-west freeway goes right by the site so it easily reached by car or bus. The magnificent temple of Segesta sits by itself below the ancient city of Segesta. When you climb up the steep hill (or take the shuttle bus) to the main archeological site, you get a truly breathtaking view of the temple below. Be prepared to fill up your camera's memory card. The ancient city of Segesta has it all–a theater, an agora, fortified walls, kilns, ancient public baths and toilets. And the views! The temple below, across the rolling hills with olive trees, and out to the Gulf of Castellammare. And while we were touring, the view included a huge flock of sheep being herded by three dogs and shepherd, bells clanging. If you could visit only one ancient site in Sicily, Segesta would be our recommendation.
Sicily truly does offer the amateur archeologist or just curious tourist a lot to choose from–the only downside is which of the many world class ancient sites to visit.

Amidst debate about its legitimacy, Litecoin Cash project performed a hard fork on the Litecoin blockchain on Sunday 18th February 2018. The fork which happened at block 1,371,111 of the Litecoin blockchain created the Litecoin Cash (LCC) which is currently available on few exchanges. What does this latest fork mean for cryptocurrency?
First off, Litecoin Cash Foundation is not affiliated to Litecoin. Though the name seems related, Litecoin cash only follows a trend of naming new tokens after their parent blockchain. This is just like Bitcoin Cash and Bitcoin Gold were named after Bitcoin, their parent blockchain. The foundation claims no affiliation to Litecoin, a fact Litecoin founder Charlie Lee further emphasized when he warned users about the fork.
How does Litecoin Cash compare?
The Litecoin Cash project offered 10 free LCC tokens for every one LTC held in the fork block. This makes the distribution of the token by claiming and mining, a trend for similarly forked tokens seeking to tap into the community of an established blockchain by giving out free tokens. In the last quarter of 2017, Bitcoin forks made enormous money.
For its mining, Litecoin Cash will replace Litecoin's Scrypt hashing algorithm with the SHA-256 algorithm used by Bitcoin. "This enables a new use for previously obsolete Bitcoin mining hardware," according to the foundation.
Also, the new blockchain will adjust its mining difficulty at every block using Evan Duffield's DarkGravity V3 from Dash. This will stop minder from switching between multiple pools.
The block rewards are designed to be fair, not giving any unfair advantage to early miners. The rewards will start at 1.25 LCC and gradually increase to 250 LCC over the first 400 blocks. And, a premine—less than 1 percent of the circulating money—will be paid to a development fund.
Litecoin Cash maintains the same blockchain size as LiteCoin and transactions will have a confirmation time of 2.5 minutes with SegWit. It will, however, have a lower transaction fee; a whole 90 percent cheaper than LTC.
Will Litecoin Cash become another Bitcoin Cash?
Another debate about LCC's legitimacy stemmed from the project name so closely similar to the contentious Bitcoin Cash. But other than the name, there is little similarity between the two projects. For starters, Bitcoin Cash resulted from a strong and long debate within its community about its scalability and ideological issues. Litecoin, on the other hand, has not had any such serious calls.
The new token is currently supported by five exchanges and one wallet listed their website as they prepare to release their own wallet. The supported exchanges include Yobit, CryptoBridge, TradeSatoshi, Mercatox, MeanXtrade and Coinomo wallet. Users can automatically claim their free LCC coins from all five exchanges except CryptoBridge. Bitcoin Cash has gained the support of major exchanges; we will have to see how Litecoin Cash copes.
With warnings from Charlie Lee about LCC being a possible scam, investors should be a lot more careful. Investors should not give out private information on their website. The official project does not ask anyone to provide private keys or other secret information. Profiles of the team members are also a reason for skepticism as they are sketchy at best.
The LCC is currently trading at $2.55 on YoBit after it started at $1.4 and reached a peak of $4 earlier.
On Sunday evening, the Litecoin Cash fork took place, creating a new tradeable cryptocurrency from the Litecoin (LTC) blockchain.
Litecoin Cash (LCC), which started trading at 20:00 GMT at $1.40 has slowly increased in value, reaching a high of $5 at 23:00. Initially, LCC had a trading volume worth $36,161; this has now increased to just over $1m according to cryptocurrency exchange, YoBit.
The fork, which happened when the Litecoin platform reached block 1371111, has been the subject of controversy with some high-profile figures denouncing it as a scam.
Trevor Gerzt, CEO of the cryptocurrency investment fund CoinIRA said Litecoin Cash served little purpose as Litecoin already has fast transaction times, unlike Bitcoin Cash, which helped to speed up Bitcoin's notoriously slow speeds.

Q: How did Worf pay for Yridian's information? In the begining of "Birthright. Part I" episode (Star Trek Next Generation 6x16) an Yridian tells Worf, that he has a certain information,

 that Worf's father is still alive (apparently not killed in Khitomer Massacre) and is held in a prison camp on Carraya IV.

Yridian is an information broker and agrees to reveal details (i.e. location) only for a price.

 Worf agrees.

How or with what Worf would pay for this? There is no economic factor inside the Federation (no money is being used) and I don't recall anything, Worf would have on board Enterprise, that would have enough value for an information this kind.

A: In DS9 Starfleet personnel pay in Quark's bar (and other locations) with gold-pressed latinum. So there seems to be a way for Federation people to get such money even if it is not used in the Federation itself.
I'm not aware if it is ever stated where they get the money from.
I'm not sure about how canon this is, but http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Money states:

Money also continued to be used on many other alien worlds, and for certain limited purposes in the Federation itself, especially when dealing with non-Federation members.

A: Federation officers do seem to have credit accounts on DS9. Presumably they get a stipend from the UFP's own accounts to help them buy trinkets from the locals when visiting.

BASHIR: That better not be from a replicator, Quark.
QUARK: Chateau Cleon, twenty three oh three. I already put it on your account.
DS9 : The Adversary

and

WORF: Our wedding plans have changed. We are getting married here on Deep Space Nine. And I want you to be my Tawi'Yan.
DAX: Sword-bearer. It's sort of like a best man.
ALEXANDER: Me? Really? Oh, that's great!
(He throws out his arms and hits a waiter's tray which crashes onto a
table.)
QUARK (turning to Worf and Dax) I'll put that on your tab.
DS9 : You are cordially invited

As a senior UFP officer, it also seems reasonable to assume that he would have the ability to simply write off certain expenses when they occur, in the same way that Beverly Crusher has the bolt of cloth charged to her account on the Enterprise in TNG: Encounter at Farpoint.
The Federation seem to almost treat latinum as monopoly money. Riker throws away 12 bars simply for hearing a rumour from Quark in TNG : First Born.

McASP is an acronym for Multichannel Audio Serial Port, a communication peripheral found in Texas Instruments family of digital signal processors (DSPs) and Microcontroller Units (MCUs).
The McASP functions as a general-purpose audio serial port optimized for the needs of multichannel audio applications.
Depending on the implementation, the McASP may be useful for time-division multiplexed (TDM) stream, Inter-Integrated Sound (I2S) protocols, and intercomponent digital audio interface transmission (DIT). However, some implementations are limited to supporting just the Inter-Integrated Sound (I2S) protocol.
The McASP consists of transmit and receive sections that may operate synchronized,
or completely independently with separate master clocks, bit clocks, and frame syncs,
and using different transmit modes with different bit-stream formats. The McASP
module also includes up to 16 serializers that can be individually enabled to either
transmit or receive. In addition, all of the McASP pins can be configured as
general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins.

Features

Features of the McASP include:
Two independent clock generator modules for transmit and receive
Clocking flexibility allows the McASP to receive and transmit at different rates. For example, the McASP can receive data at 48 kHz but output up-sampled data at 96 kHz or 192 kHz.
Independent transmit and receive modules, each includes:
Programmable clock and frame sync generator
TDM streams from 2 to 32, and 384 time slots
Support for time slot sizes of 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, and 32 bits
Data formatter for bit manipulation
Individually assignable serial data pins (up to 16 pins)
Glueless connection to audio analog-to-digital converters (ADC), digital-to-analog converters (DAC), Codec, digital audio interface receiver (DIR), and S/PDIF transmit physical layer components.
Wide variety of I2S and similar bit-stream format
Integrated digital audio interface transmitter (DIT) supports:
S/PDIF, IEC60958-1, AES-3 formats
Up to 16 transmit pins
Enhanced channel status/user data RAM
384-slot TDM with external digital audio interface receiver (DIR) device
For DIR reception, an external DIR receiver integrated circuit should be used with I2S output format and connected to the McASP receive section.
Extensive error checking and recovery
Transmit underruns and receiver overruns due to the system not meeting real-time requirements
Early or late frame sync in TDM mode
Out-of-range high-frequency master clock for both transmit and receive
External error signal coming into the AMUTEIN input
DMA error due to incorrect programming

Protocols

The McASP supports a wide variety of protocols.
Transmit section supports
Wide variety of I2S and similar bit-stream formats
TDM streams from 2 to 32 time slots
S/PDIF, IEC60958-1, AES-3 formats
Receive section supports
Wide variety of I2S and similar bit-stream formats
TDM streams from 2 to 32 time slots
TDM stream of 384 time slots specifically designed for easy interface to external digital interface receiver (DIR) device transmitting DIR frames to McASP using the I2S protocol (one time slot for each DIR subframe)
The transmit and receive sections may each be individually programmed to support the following options
on the basic serial protocol:
Programmable clock and frame sync polarity (rising or falling edge): ACLKR/X, AHCLKR/X and AFSR/X
Slot length (number of bits per time slot): 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 bits supported
Word length (bits per word): 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32 bits; always less than or equal to the time slot length
First-bit data delay: 0, 1, 2 bit clocks
Left/right alignment of word inside slot
Bit order: MSB first or LSB first
Bit mask/pad/rotate function
Automatically aligns data for DSP internally in either Q31 or integer formats
Automatically masks nonsignificant bits (sets to 0, 1, or extends value of another bit)
In DIT mode, additional features of the transmitter are:
Transmit-only mode- 384 time slots (subframe) per frame
Bi-phase encoded 3.3 V output
Support for consumer and professional applications
Channel status RAM (384 bits)
User data RAM (384 bits)
Separate valid bit (V) for subframe A, B

Being at SuperSport United must feel like living through a fever dream. In the past two years, the team has bounced from title challenger to relegation candidate. No other Premier Soccer League side has swung so violently between the two poles in that time.
Now, as this season approaches its conclusion, a new battle is emerging: the fight against mediocrity.
"It's a bad season," Reneilwe Letsholonyane lamented this week, on the sidelines of the team's Megawatt Park training ground.
His admission is an insight into the highly competitive mind-set of an experienced winner like Yeye (as he's known). It's only been a few months since Matsatsantsa nearly plunged into the National First Division. That campaign saw Eric Tinkler falling out of favour and being ushered towards the exit. This year, they have sat comfortably in a top-eight spot — rising to fourth after beating Orlando Pirates on Wednesday night. Their stated goal now is at least a top-six finish.
The win-or-nothing rhetoric is a reverberation of Supersport chief executive Stan Matthews' demand for improvement. Similarly vexed by the lack of silverware, he has threatened that all indiscretions will be remembered at contract talk time if Supersport achieve anything less than top six. Should they fail, the "new broom" will replace any dreams of a new contract.
With games dwindling and key rivals finding the right gear at the right time, a magic resurrection needs to happen now. This will require that the team understands how things got to this point.
Coach Kaitano Tembo, who got the full-time reins after cleaning up Tinkler's mess, seems split about the answer. On the one hand, he presents a team that has been stifled by injuries to key players such as Dean Furman and Evans Rusike, and that has also let itself down with unequal performances.
On the other hand, when asked whether he's done enough to secure himself another year in charge, Tembo pointed out that SuperSport was always going to be a team in transition — implying that a title challenge was never front of mind. He rattled off the names of the youngsters he's given a chance to: Jamie Webber, Sipho Mbule and Kamohelo Mahlatsi.
There are other players who also promise to come good soon, he said. Think Luke le Roux and Luke Fleurs.
The transition narrative has been strengthened by the recruitment of Mxolisi Macuphu and George Lebese until the end of the season. The two have had an immediate effect and could be key if United are going to make a last bid for the league.
As for Lebese, the switch is an opportunity to revive his career after a nightmare few months at Mamelodi Sundowns. Matthews speaks highly of the midfielder and it seems he was specifically identified as a player who could give the squad an adrenaline shot.
Speaking ahead of Monday training, Lebese agreed that the club is not where they're supposed to be and talked up his potential role in helping to launch that unlikely push for top spot.
With the pieces falling into place, Tembo will have no excuses should he have nothing to show for a season's efforts.
Much promises to change when it concludes, especially if the chief executive has his way. Failure will mean that Tembo, and many others, will have a fight on their hands to survive an overhaul.

In Israel's 'eternal capital,' anti-Palestinian discrimination is built-in
A closer look at Jerusalem's new construction plans are a testament to the fact that Israel cannot continue lording over hundreds of thousands of Palestinians without infringing on their basic rights.
By Aviv Tatarsky

After a considerably long lull, Prime Minister Netanyahu and Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat have rebooted their plan to build beyond the Green Line in the city. These days, the government is working to build 2,000 housing units in East Jerusalem — and that's only the beginning. Israeli building in the territories occupied in 1967 is usually tied to Israel's attempt to thwart all attempts to make East Jerusalem the future capital of the Palestinian state, and thus perpetuate the bloodletting.

I was taught to hate Palestinians — until I met one
By Osnat Ita Skoblinski | June 26, 2017
But Israeli construction has another angle that we tend to ignore: almost every single plan that was proposed over the past week directly violates the basic rights of Palestinians to live here. Not over "there" in the West Bank, where settlers (not us, that is) are willing to live alongside people without rights; but right here in the democratic state of Israel, and in proximity to the Israeli mainstream. The long list of construction plans proposed last week is yet another reminder of what Palestinian life looks like in our capital. Here are just four examples of basic Palestinian rights that will be violated as a result of these plans.
Equality. Nir Barkat joined the Right's celebration over the lifting of restrictions on settlement construction, announcing last week plans to build 800 apartments in Israeli neighborhoods beyond the Green Line. "Construction will continue unabated in order to strengthen the capital of Israel." Barkat also announced that the construction of 114 housing units in the city's Palestinian neighborhoods "as part of the city's policy to build in all parts of the city."
Jeruslaem Mayor Nir Barkat attends a Finance Committee meeting in the Knesset, May 29, 2017. (Yonatan Sindel/Flash90)
These are the mayor's numbers, which according to him are a testament to the equality and fairness with which he runs the city. However, a quick calculation shows that while Palestinians make up 38 percent of the city's residents, those 114 housing units constitute only 12 percent of the 914 units Barkat is so proud of. Real equality would mean that alongside those 800 "Israeli" apartments, the municipality would plan to build 490 units in Palestinian neighborhoods — more than four times what it has committed itself to. In eight years of Barkat and Netanyahu's rule, the Jerusalem municipality has approved numerous, detailed master plans for the expansion of Israeli neighborhoods to the tune of 10,000 additional housing units. Meanwhile, not a single master plan has expanded the areas designated for living in Palestinian neighborhoods.
Housing. As part of Barkat's new plans, there are two plans being promoted by settler organizations, in which existing homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah will be demolished and replaced by larger buildings. Palestinians have been living in the existing homes since before 1967. Ownership over the land was transferred to settler organizations as part of a law that allows settlers to reclaim property that was previously owned by Jews until 1948 and was lost in the war, yet prevents Palestinians in East Jerusalem to do the same over assets they lost in West Jerusalem during that same war.
The Palestinians living in those Sheikh Jarrah homes have protected status that prevents their eviction. However, the settlers are allowed to evict protected residents if they can show that it is necessary in order to enhance the asset. Thus, under the guise of promoting building, the state takes part in the expulsion of more Palestinian families from their homes.
Palestinian residents confront Jewish settlers who have seized Palestinian homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah, September 2, 2011. (Ryan Rodrick Beiler/Activestills.org)
Education. The municipality is also promoting a plan to build a seven-story in Sheikh Jarrah that will serve as an ultra-Orthodox yeshiva, of all things. This, despite the fact that according to the neighborhood's master plan — which was designed by Israel — the land is marked as "public buildings for the welfare of the local community." Sheikh Jarrah has not even a single public elementary school. And yet the Israel Land Administration has allocated the area to an ultra-Orthodox organization; suffice it to say that the Jerusalem municipality does not oppose this plan.
Property rights. Last week, Jerusalem Municipality promoted a plan to expand Ramat Shlomo, a large Jewish housing development in northern East Jerusalem, by 500 housing units. Israeli developers who claim to own the property are behind the plan, yet a close look at land registry documents teach us that the land is not owned by the developers. In fact, large swaths of that land are marked to warn that ownership is legally disputed, and that other parts are owned by Palestinians. None of this hindered the city from joining forces with the developers, who submitted the plan to the Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee, deciding that the plan was worth backing.
A construction site next to Ramat Shlomo, Jerusalem, November 21. 2016. (Sebi Berens/Flash90)
Sounds like Amona? In Jerusalem there is no need for the "Regularization Bill" to take over Palestinian land. More than that, part of Ramat Shlomo — which is undisputedly Palestinian owned — is designated as a park. That is, the Israeli developers will make money off of the sale of 500 housing units on land they claim to own, while the Palestinian landowners will "donate" their land to a park without seeing a shekel.
This is the Jerusalem the Israeli government is so determined to control exclusively. Disregard for Palestinian rights in the city is not a mistake, nor is it the result of evil. An Israel that wants all of Jerusalem to itself cannot lord over hundreds of thousands of Palestinians without harming their basic rights. When we refuse to see Palestinians as our partners in this city, we give up on the possibility of a life of welfare and peace, as well as the basic rules of fairness and democracy.

"Disregard for Palestinian rights in the city is not a mistake, nor is it the result of evil."
I disagree. It is the result of evil. Racism, denial of rights, and theft are evil. Not uncommon, but still evil.
Lewis from Afula
Reptriate the illegal Jordanian squatters. They started the 6 day war. Now, it is our turn to finish it by sending them home.
Bruce Gould
@Lewis: It's a wee bit more complicated than that:
https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2017/06/05/who-started-the-six-day-war-of-june-1967/
But if it's slogans and collective punishment you want, why not "export the fake Ashkenazic Jews back to Russia"?
Down here in actual reality, the 6+ milllion Jews and 6+ million Palestinians will live in close proximity to each other…forever.
Who says?
Transfer of the Jordanians is the only sane solution.
Its the only solution we have not yet tried.
The knuckle dragger from Afula represents the intellectual and moral level of the Israeli far right. Behold. Lewis is recommending war crimes and crimes against humanity. But you know, I think we're past this kind of mindless Judeofascism here. It's not interesting or informative. It contributes absolutely nothing except to show what low cultural level we are dealing with when we deal with the Israeli right wing these days.
Itshak Gordin Halevy
The right wing is simply not suicidal..
Well, Halevy, your concept of "suicide" is the relinquishing of your status as Jewish Overlord and Subjugator of Non-Jewish Persons of the Realm, a status that you think "God" bequeathed you as a divine right as hereditary chosen among chosen. I gotta tell you, Halevy, I'm not impressed with your existential angst. When democracy comes your hysterical fainting spells will subside gradually and you'll get over it. You could take a coping skills class. You poor dear.
My solution is to end the Apartheid, end the Subjugation, end the Oppression, stop ruling over others.
By implementing the same solution that the Soviet Army did in Koningsberg in 1944-1945.
There are psychopaths and people at a very low cultural level in every society, Lewis. It doesn't make you special. That you are loudly signaling that you are one of them and that you are trolling me about opportunistic fantasies with regard to mass rape, looting, murder and ethnic cleansing is of no consequence except to show what it looks like under that rock you crawl out from. By the way the word is Konigsberg. And that you keep misspelling it shows it is not simply a typo and that you exist at a very low educational and cultural level, in a morass of ignorance and moral turpitude. Really, the emanations of your mind do not interest me except as a clinical specimen.
Actually, the right is. They just choose to drag it out and to continue to steal, murder, rape, torture and provoke the palestinians to give the devil his due. Awesome job Itshat.
Paranam Kid
This article shows the new depth the israeli depravation is sinking to every day. But there is something even more fundamental:
1. the author says "….but right here in the democratic state of Israel".
israel is NOT a democracy because it is an ethnocracry, and by definition an ethnocracy cannot be a democracy
2. israel is does not have the right to be in East Jerusalem, is is considerd Palestinian land, which israel has stolen. So even calculations of what would be equitable proportions of Jewish and Arab housing units are meaningless because israel is in breach of international law, which it has been since its fraudulent creation.
israel knows all this damn well, which is why it is always suppressing criticism & whining about delegitimisation of israel. israel in its current form has NO legitimacy, and it knows it.
Not "depravation" but "depravity". Apologies.
We do things quite differently in my country. We provide housing for poor people in tower blocks and then, at great public expense, upgrade to make them more visually appealing with cladding that is not only inflammable but releases toxic fumes. Those who escaped the building with nothing but their night clothes are denied access to donations from the community, or do not claim them for fear that they might be deported.
Throughout the middle east "unwanted" people, aka refugees, are housed in camps with the full intention of NEVER integrating them into the local community, or left to their own devices.
I don't know US too well, but seems they house poor folks in substandard housing and provide substandard health care and education.
Before castigating IL, I think we should all be wary of pot calling the kettle black.
@Mark: A string of bogus analogies. Nothing more.

I buy my clothes from Primark and my fruit and veg from the stalls that line Peckham Rye because I work in the arts and I'm poor. I don't give any thought to where they come from in the transactional moment, but am righteously moved by articles like the one above that Hannah Nicklin tweeted. Sure, this makes me a hypocrite. But I need only to look at the other people also shopping on Sunday mornings to reinforce that I am far from alone. Most of my fellow "liberal elites" (educated, urban and left leaning) are the same, and centuries of imperialism (obviously white, male and western-led) have established the systems that the whole of society (including the liberal factions) implicitly condones through consumerism.

Running Into Trouble
Octavio Sanchez and Anthony Labrado
Junior Mayra Barrios has been on many sports team throughout her high school career, but this year she is on the Cross Country team. Barrios has been running into certain problems with the whole team and how they run their meets.
"This kind of stuff gets me mad. How can the school support other sports but not us," said Barrios.
One of the team's primary problems is commitments to coaching.
"My coaches are Sgt. 1st Class Villarreal and Mr.Surina, but they have not be able to be there because their schedules are not flexible," said Barrios.
Sgt. 1st Class Villarreal did admit to assisting with coaching the team, however, he is not an official coach for the team.
"I ran cross country when I was in high school," Sgt. 1st Class Villarreal said "but I just supervise the kids."
Mr. Surina admitted to having time struggles and also to losing a coach from the previous years.
"Two years ago when Sgt. 1st Class G. was a co-coach we had a solid team that started in the summer and did many races together," Surina said. " We will get back to this schedule for next season."
Surina also said that team member commitment is a factor as well. The team members this year have a lot of priorities and that Cross Country falls as a last priority.
"I think to schedule more races earlier and try to get a larger participation in the freshmen class that don't have a lot of after school commitments would help," Surina said.
However, the problems do not stop the Cross Country team. They still have meets however, they keep bumping into more problems in that area.
"There are times where the team has to either jog or run to the meet because we do not have busses. And to make things worse when the team gets there and it is time to start they don't run because they are tired," said Barrios.
This season might have been rough for them, but Barrios has something to say about that.
"I feel like this season will turn out good only if the team gets their things together. And even though some problems do not get fixed that is fine," said Barrios.

Q: Converting array of characters to arraylist of characters I am stuck at this problem (sending keys to GUI) where I am converting a string to a character array then I want the characterarray as an arraylist. Essentially:
String s = "ABC";
char[] cArray = s.toCharArray();
ArrayList<Character> cList = ??

I want cList to be a character arraylist of the form ['A', 'B', 'C']. I don't know how to unpack it and then make an ArrayList out of it. Arrays.asList() returns a List<char[]> which is not what I want or need.
I do know I can loop and add to a list, I am looking for something simpler (surely one exists).

A: To my knowledge, this does not exist in the core JDK, but the functionality is provided by several common libraries.
For example, Apache Commons Lang has a method with the following signature in ArrayUtils:
Character [] toObject(char [] input)

Similarly, the Google Guava library has a even more direct method in the Chars class:
public static List<Character> asList(char... backingArray)

A: Character[] chArray = {'n','a','n','d','a','n','k','a','n','a','n'};

List<Character> arrList = Arrays.asList(chArray);

A: You have to loop through the array:
List<Character> cList = new ArrayList<Character>();
for(char c : cArray) {
    cList.add(c);
}

Note: Arrays.asList() works only for reference types not primitives.

You're likely to have heard the news that a Palestinian leader has now called for an intifada in response to Donald Trump. Of all the soundbites we've seen since the US President made his bombastic recognition of Palestine, this is probably the most chilling.
Ismail Haniya, the leader of militant group Hamas, gave a speech today (December 7) in Gaza calling on Palestinians to stage an intifada in response to Trump, which he said should not stop until Jerusalem and the West Bank are liberated.
In literal terms the word intifada means 'shaking off' and it is used to refer to an uprising. This definition might sound rather meek and tame, but it's a word that has brought terror to Israel and the Palestinian territories.
There have already been two intifadas in the Palestinian territories, between 1987 and 1993 and 2000 and 2005 respectively. The two insurrections claimed a total of 5,500 lives, 4,500 of them Palestinians.
The two events were markedly different in character, the second far more brutal than the first. The first intifada was known as 'the war of stones'; Palestinians pelted police and the Israeli army with rocks in daily confrontations, but major acts of terrorism were relatively rare. Palestinians rose up by all manner of means, including strikes and boycotts as well as direct confrontation. The second intifada, however, witnessed numerous suicide bomb attacks; indeed some credit the second intifada with giving birth to the suicide bomber, a most unwelcome legacy.
Given that Hamas, which is leading the calls for a third intifada, is regarded as the more violent of the two main Palestinian factions, observers will be concerned that a new uprising will more closely resemble the second intifada than the first. Fatah, Hamas's counterpart in the West Bank, has yet to make its own call for an uprising, but given the two groups signed a unity deal just a few weeks ago, they may well be bound together on this.
That unity deal has been part of a new, conciliatory approach by Hamas, which has seen the group moderate its own founding charter; the new document says Hamas is not seeking war with the Jewish people, only the Zionists who occupy the Palestinian lands.
Hamas won widespread acclaim for this softening of its core stance, but not from Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu, which insisted that the group was "trying to fool the world."
With tension boiling over again, the world will soon see Hamas's true colours. Observers around the world will be hoping, and praying, for reason and moderacy to win out.

The City of Melbourne Unleashes the SL-RAT
By coreyconsulting
Working with the Avanti Company, the City of Melbourne, Florida recently began using the SL-RAT (sewer-line rapid assessment tool), a portable tool that utilizes sound waves to determine potential sewer line blockages in as little as three minutes.
The SL-RAT is comprised of a receiver unit and transmitter unit. The receiver is responsible for processing the signal through a microphone, allowing the received acoustic signal to be interpreted. The transmitter, as its name suggests, sends an active transmission through the pipe. Both of these components are designed to communicate seamlessly with each other and also feature GPS capabilities.
The SL-RAT relies heavily on how similar the sound waves mimic water flow through a pipe. With this capability, the SL-RAT is capable of assessing blockage over ten times faster than televising the lines. This process also removes the step of having to clean the lines or deal with waste flow. Using the sound energy, the SL-RAT can even navigate obstacles or go around turns, a major advantage over CCTV. It is capable of returning reliable measurements at up to 800 feet of distance.
Melbourne has been using the SL-RAT for well over a month and it has already provided highly valuable information.
The Avanti Company was founded in 1977 by Paul and Justine Devlin and is headquartered in Avon Park, FL. We provide flow meters, metering systems, AMR support, on-site flow meter testing, sewer flow monitoring, inspection and assessment services for the water, wastewater, agricultural, petroleum and industrial marketplaces. Avanti represents products from McCrometer, Itron, Hach Flow, RedZone, Honeywell/Elster, 64 seconds, Infosense, Nicor, DoMac, Aclara, and others. Please visit our website at www.avanticompany.com, email us at info@avanticompany.com or call us at 863-453-5336 for assistance with all of your flow meter and metering system needs.
Upgrade to AMR or AMI
It's 2020 and Automated Meter Reading (AMR) has become an increasingly prevalent technology. It is used to capture monthly meter reading data, which is then passed to a utility to undergo billing and analysis. Gathering the data requires walking or driving with a handheld device. AMR provides numerous benefits including lowering the cost of reading … Continued

Riassunto di letteratura inglese su due opere di James Joyce: Dubliners e Ulysses (1 pagine formato doc)
Letteratura inglese: James Joyce.
James Joyce was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writes in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. In this sense, he rejected older types of novels, full of conservatives values and extreme realism, and he felt the strong need to reflect on the complexity of the human mind working and the apparent irrationality of modern urban life.
Thought most of his adult life was spent abroad, Joyce's fictional universe does not extend beyond Dublin: it is populated by characters who resemble family members, enemies and friends from his time.
James Joyce: riassunto della vita e opere
DUBLINERS: RIASSUNTO IN INGLESSE
Dubliners. Joyce's first great portrait of Dublin life came with Dubliners, a collection of 15 short stories. It is a penetrating depiction of the stagnation and paralysis of the Irish middle class life in and around Dublin, presented in four stages: childhood, adolescence, maturity and public life.
Characters accept their condition because they are not aware of it. All Dubliners are spiritually weak people, they are slaves of their familiar, moral, cultural, religious and political life. The hearth of the whole collection is the revelation of the paralysis to its victims, and the failure to find a way out of it.
The peculiar technique used is the epiphany, coined by Joyce himself: it is a sudden revelation of a strong reality caused by a trivial gesture, an external object or a banal situation. According to his task to reproduce the deep and hidden meaning of the life, the epiphany represents the key of the story itself.
Each story is told from the prospective of a character and so the interior monologue is widely used: it is the presentation of protagonist's thoughts without any interfering agency. Thanks to it, readers acquire direct knowledge of who was speaking.
Linguistic register is varied: it suits the age, the social class and the role of the characters.
James Joyce: opere principali
JAMES JOYCE: ULYSSES
Ulysses. Joyce probably owes its fame to his best known masterpiece, Ulysses. It chronicles the events of an ordinary life of an advertising agent, Leopold Bloom, in a single day, seen from the inside of the character's mind.
Ulysses is closely modeled on the Homer's Odyssey. The 24 hours of Bloom's day correspond to the 24 books of the classical epic. The novel's 18 episodes (or chapters) correspond to as many incidents in Homer. So all the story have an allegorical sense and every character represent an Odyssey's character: Leopold Bloom is a modern Ulysses, a common man living in Dublin. His travelling is compressed into a single day in a modern town and his adventures are the events of everyday life. Molly, Bloom's wife, is Penelope, even if less faithful than the original. Stephen Dedalus is Telemachus, even if he isn't in the search of a father, but Leopold sees in him the soon he had lost. Their relationship is typical of the lack of passion and strong family ties of modern life. Thus the ancient epic is ironically played against the modern world to stress the lack of heroism, of ideals, of love and trust.
