The truth is often bent and broken in so many people's quest to be right or relevant. Lincoln Steed and Elijah Mvundura discuss the battle between fake news and the truth.

The General and the Synagogue
"When any group of human beings is defined as a problem, it becomes easier to commit human rights abuses and to normalize discrimination against them" (Rabbi Schneier). >

Can a nation, be great? Many politicians want us to believe that one can. But what, exactly, does it mean to be great if a country or collection of people want to be? >
The dictionary defines the word "great" as "considerably above the normal." This can be applied to something's size, importance, and value. But can the word "great" be applied to a nation? >

The End of History
We all know what history is. It's the study of the past: past civilizations, past decisions, past movements of people. According to some, history will someday have an end. >
Are you essential? More to the point, is what you do essential to your community and to your country? Who decides? The answer may reflect on the future of religious liberty. >
Follow the money! That's what people say these days when they want you to get to the root of a problem. Is that also true in the sometimes confusing world of religious liberty? >

Fiasco in Iran

Champions of Faith
What we need today are some good, old-fashioned champions to show us how to deal with the religious liberty crises we see developing around the world. History reveals a few who weren't. >

It's an ageless dilemma...for God. Two groups of people with opposing views pleading for God to help their cause and bring about victory in their shared battles. What's a deity to do? >

The Role of the King
The news out of Washington, D.C. lately is usually, in a word, "unprecedented." Some insist that we don't need a government. We need a KING! Would that help? >
The practice is beyond belief. But in China, belief has been suspended when it comes to the sanctity of the human body. It's an old horror with far reaching implications. >

Religion is many things to many people. It has built, and destroyed ethnic groups and entire nations. But when is religion the most dangerous? Lincoln Steed explains. >
Social Justice Part 2
What exactly does "justice" mean? In this country, we say that it exists "for all." Nathan Brown focuses on the subject of social justice as it relates to both God and man. >
Religious liberty is often reflective of a nation's view of the individual. It's an indicator of the value it places on every human life. When that value is deflated, so is freedom. For a free copy of Nathan Brown's book "For the Least of These," visit: ADRA.org/Least of These >

What happened in New Zealand recently has shown a light on the common flesh that all people of all religions in all nations share. Grief is no respecter of persons. >

IFJ Renews Call for Release of Algerian Journalist Mohamed Benchicou
The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) at a press conference in Brussels today, renewed its call for the release of Mohamed Benchicou and the decriminalisation of press offences in Algeria.
"This 14th day of June is a symbol for all journalists that are being harassed, oppressed and imprisoned by their governments," says Bertrand Ginet, IFJ Programme Officer. "Mohamed Benchicou is a figure of the Algerian press and whose immediate release we are expressly requesting for. The fact that he today "celebrates" his first year of imprisonment, demonstrates how much the principles of the State of law has been led astray in Algeria".
Mohamed Benchicou, the Managing Editor of Matin, was condemned one year ago to two years of imprisonment for an "infraction in money exchange regulation" after cash vouchers denominated in dinars were found in his luggage at the airport in Algiers in August 2003. In fact, this parody of justice hardly conceals the logic of inquisition that seeks to silence one of the most virulent critics of the Algerian system. M. Benchicou was widely known for taking part in the Algerian presidential campaign during which he wrote a pamphlet entitled: "Bouteflika, the Algerian impostor".
"The Benchicou affair results from a depraved politico-judiciary system which thenceforth, organises a parody of justice on Tuesdays with the aim of imprisoning other journalists," says Nadir Benseba, the Executive Coordinator of the IFJ Office in Algiers. "We are calling not only for the release of Benchicou, but also for the decriminalisation of press offences in Algeria."
On 8 June the European parliament adopted a resolution which has added credibility and more weight to the international campaign requesting the release of Benchicou and an immediate stop to the legal processes that are threatening the other journalists.
Hélène Flautre, President of the Human Rights sub Commission in the European parliament, has pledged her willingness to engage in the struggle for the respect of the freedom of expression and Human Rights in Algeria. "The European parliament resolution shall henceforth be one of the bases of discussion with the Algerian authorities," she said, adding that the Benchicou affair has demonstrated the vague desires of freedom of the 2001 legal reform code, in spite of the initial guarantees given by the authorities. It shows that the "European parliament is going to request the Commission and the European Union Council within the framework of the evaluation of the association agreement with Algeria, to take on their Algerian interlocutors on the repeated attempts against press freedom in Algeria". Before ending her intervention, Madam Flautre noted that "the recent European parliamentary resolution did not come from the blue; to the contrary, it is the result of a constant vigilance and a real determination of European parliamentarians."
Aziouz Mokhtari, the correspondent of Le Soir D'Alger in Brussels added that "the Benchicou affair is a symbol of censorship, but also of the decrepitude of a legal system manipulated by some political headers". He also read a letter from Mr. Benchicou who called on his colleagues "to main the pressure through mobilisation and to continue to be the voice of the voiceless".
IFJ calls on all of its affiliate members as well as professional journalist organisations in the world, to seize this opportunity and condemn the arrest of Mohamed Benchicou and the rerouting of the Algerian conscience against journalists at all Algerian embassies. It also calls on journalist trade unions to pile pressure on the national authorities so that they will insist on the release of Mr. Benchicou.

Q: When can I expect OSAction::Cancel handler to be called? I have a Driverkit driver that takes care of a USB device. The driver unpacks data in the USB packets, and writes the data to buffers that are shared between the app and the driver. The shared buffers are created by the app with IOConnectCallAsyncMethod. When a buffer is ready to be consumed by the app, the driver calls IOUserClient::AsyncCompletion with an OSAction object. The OSAction object is also created as a result of the call to IOConnectCallAsyncMethod by the app. There is one OSAction object per shared buffer.
In case of an error in the mechanism that takes care of the events in the app I tell the driver to stop calling the OSAction objects, and the thread that takes care of the events in the app is stopped. At this point I cannot be sure that I have handled all the events in the app, and when I send a message to the driver to start again, I want to be sure that no events from before stopping is in the queue to be handled by the app.
I have looked at OSAction::Cancel, which lets you pass a handler that should be invoked when the callback is cancelled. The documentation for this method says A handler block for the system to call after any in-flight callbacks finish executing.
What does an "in-flight" callback mean?
I call Cancel for all OSAction objects, and decrement a counter for each OSAction object to keep track of the cancellation completion (similar to this example project from Apple). Problem is that I can't see that the block is invoked.
When can I expect the block to be invoked? Some different situations that I can think of is:

*

*An OSAction that was never passed to AsyncCompletion.

*An OSAction that was passed to AsyncCompletion but the app did not handle the event.

*An OSAction that was passed to AsyncCompletion, the app started to handle the event, but the app is not yet done with the event.

I am also wondering about which dispatch queue in the driver that will be used to call the block.

Jaffa: Man shot to death in broad daylight
30-year-old man with no criminal record is shot to death while standing near grocery store in Jaffa. Police examine whether shooting was made from passing vehicle or from close range
Eli Senyor|Published: 11.16.13 , 12:09
A man in his thirties was shot Saturday morning in the heart of Jaffa. Magen David Adom emergency services evacuated him to a hospital with resuscitation efforts, yet shortly after pronounced his death. Large police forces are at the scene, investigating the circumstances behind the event. So far, no arrests have been made.
Preliminary details reveal that the event took place at 10:30 am. After the mueder, a vehicle was spotted fleeing the scene, and it is investigated whether the shooting was made from within the vehicle or whether the shooter exited the car and shot the victim from close range. The man that was shot stood near a grocery store that was open at the time, as several other people were also standing nearby.

Ashkelon residents alarmed at second car blast in days
Even though the victim had no criminal record, police estimate that he was indeed the target for the shooting. Shai Pinchas, an MDA paramedic who arrived at the scene of the murder, said: "We found the man shot in his upper body. We began resuscitation efforts and transferred him to the hospital, where the resuscitation efforts continued, however they were forced to pronounce his death."
The event joins a series of recent cases in which criminals operate within populated areas, while risking innocent civilians. Ten days ago, a bomb exploded in the car of a Tel Aviv Prosecution attorney. No injuries were reported in the event.

Earlier this month a man in his thirties was critically wounded when his car exploded in Ashkelon due to a device planted in his vehicle. Police sources said that the target was affiliated with Shalom Domrani's criminal organization.
About 10 days before that, a courier of the Shalom Domrani crime group was killed by a device attached to his car, as the event took place near a school. One of the organization's top members was critically injured in the event. Hours after the explosion in the heart of Ashkelon, an assassination attempt took place in Yokneam, an event that saw one man seriously injured.

Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Acquires Haptogen to Boost Biotechnology Drug Discovery"
Wyeth Pharmaceuticals has announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which it has acquired Haptogen Ltd., a Scottish company based in Aberdeen that is focused on the discovery of biopharmaceutical therapies. This acquisition significantly increases Wyeth's already robust biotechnology drug discovery capabilities.
"Haptogen brings to Wyeth a suite of next-generation biotechnology discovery technologies that complement Wyeth's ongoing biotherapeutic discovery efforts," says Frank Walsh, Ph.D., Executive Vice President of Discovery, Wyeth Research. "In addition to the exciting technology and first- rate research team that we are bringing into our organization, we consider the opportunity to conduct biopharmaceutical drug discovery in Scotland particularly important because of the rich pool of scientific and technological talent."
Haptogen has developed a number of technologies that allow for the discovery and optimization of protein therapeutics with significantly improved profiles over the current generation of protein therapies. Such benefits include the potential for convenient routes of administration as well as cell and organ penetration, opening the opportunity to address diseases that are not treatable with the first generation of protein therapeutics.
Through the acquisition, Haptogen becomes part of Wyeth Discovery Research. In addition to Haptogen, Wyeth has a significant ongoing research relationship in the field of translational medicine through the Translational Medicine Research Collaboration. This partnership, which was launched in 2006, includes Wyeth as well as the Universities of Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Dundee and Glasgow, regional National Health Service boards and Scottish Enterprise.
"Since Haptogen started its discussions with Wyeth, we have been impressed by the quality and commitment of the people we have met," says Jim Reid, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Haptogen Ltd. "We believe that combining Haptogen's technology platforms with Wyeth's existing discovery and development capabilities creates the greatest opportunity for realizing the potential to bring new treatments to patients."
