About Joshua Muravchik
Israel will not back down, and Europe owes it thanks.
No sooner had Israel raised its hand in self-defense Finland, speaking as the rotating president of the European Union, denounced it for "the disproportionate use of force." This position, echoed by France, Spain, the United Nations, and others, is wrong legally, morally, and strategically.
#ad#From a legal standpoint, Israel is the victim of multiple unprovoked aggressions. It withdrew entirely from Lebanon in 2000 and from Gaza in 2005. (Both of these occupations had come about as acts of self-defense: the former against rocket fire from Lebanon in 1982 and the latter against a war of annihilation declared by Egypt in 1967.) From the time of its withdrawal from Gaza, not a single day had passed without rockets being fired into Israel. Now from the north as well as the south, Israel finds hundreds of rockets being fired across its border. Even if these were aimed at military installations, it would be a clear-cut act of war. To make it worse, these rockets are aimed randomly at cities and other civilian population centers, making them not only acts of war but war crimes.
In the face of this criminal aggression, Israel has an absolute right to defend itself by making war against those who are attacking it. In the south this means against the Palestinian Authority. In the north it means fighting Lebanon. Of course, Israel has not been attacked by the army of Lebanon but rather by the militia of Hezbollah. Israel's counterattacks are focusing on Hezbollah installations but are also aimed at Lebanon itself. This is tragic, but it may be inescapable, and it is certainly lawful: It is a well established principal of international law that a state is responsible for any armed attacks that originate from its territory. The government in Beirut must rein in Hezbollah. If it is too weak to do so, it has every right to request international assistance in this task. Indeed, it has an obligation.
From a moral standpoint, what possible standing can the EU have to tell Israel that its response to aggression is "disproportionate"? Israel's goal is not vengeance; instead, Israel wishes to to bring a halt to the unprovoked acts of aggression. This is completely justified morally: The amount of force that Israel is entitled to use is whatever is required to defend itself successfully.
Before it has any moral standing to make the accusation that it made against Israel, the EU must explain its standards of "proportionality." Is the EU prepared to help Israel defend itself against Hamas and Hezbollah? The idea is laughable. Will it protect the Israelis the way it protected the Bosnians in the 1990s? Does the EU have a military strategy to recommend to Israel that the EU would deem to be "proportionate" and that would put an end to the Palestinian and Lebanese aggressions against Israel? If so, we have not heard a word about it — not from the Finns and not even from France's ppresident, Jacques Chirac, a man who always has plenty to say. In the absence of any such solution, European complaints about the measures Israel is taking amount to contemptible hypocrisy. If the missiles that are falling on Sderot, Ashkelon, Nahriya, Safed, Tiberius, and Haifa were falling on Strasbourg, Nancy, Lille, Dijon, and Paris would Chirac's concern be to respond only in "proportion"?
Broader Implications
While the EU position is obtuse both legally and morally, from a strategic perspective it is short-sighted and self-defeating. Like Israel and America and India, Europe is threatened by a rising tide of violent Islamist extremism. After the attacks in London and Madrid, this should hardly need stating.
Hamas and Hezbollah are not nationalist forces. Fatah is the nationalist party in Palestine. The coalition led by Hariri and Jumblatt represents Lebanese nationalism. Hamas and Hezbollah, in contrast, see themselves as part of a global movement of jihad. Hamas is in fact the Palestinian arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, founded in Egypt, with affiliates across the Muslim world. (Although the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt renounced violence in order to survive fierce government repression, it supports violence and terrorism in other places.) Hezbollah was founded by Iran. These groups take pride in being the brothers and comrades-in-arms of the terrorists who attacked New York and Washington, London and Madrid, Beslan,Bombay, and Bali. They celebrated when those atrocities happened.
Their goal is not to change Israeli policies; it is to eliminate Israel entirely, as they and their Iranian patrons say quite openly. But even this is not the main goal, but only a first step. As they also say quite openly, they are aiming to establish a new caliphate that will recreate what they view as the golden age of Islam. And they want this caliphate to rule over all of the lands of the Muslim empires of the past from Morocco and Spain in the west to the Philippines in the east, taking in the southern half of Europe, the northern half of Africa and most of Asia.
This is spelled out in the charter of Hamas, which says: "The Islamic Resistance Movement [Hamas] believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf [an unalienable religious endowment] consecrated for future Moslem generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. . . . This is the law governing the land of Palestine in the Islamic Sharia and the same goes for any land the Moslems have conquered by force, because during the times of [Islamic] conquests, the Moslems consecrated these lands to Moslem generations until the Day of Judgement."
Even this is not the final goal, which, as again the radical Islamists state openly, is the spread of Islamic sovereignty over the entire world. Islamic texts divide the entire world into "the world of Islam" and the "world of conflict." Only when Islam reigns everywhere will the conflict cease. Of course the large majority of Muslims in the world do not want conflict, and they interpret this in a way that eliminates the implications of constant strife and hostility to nonbelievers. But the jihadists believe that they must take the sword to Jews and Christians and apostates and other nonbelievers until all bow before their god.
Some months ago, President Ahmadinejadof Iran drew a lot of publicity when he said that Israel should be wiped off the map. In the same speech, he also said the same thing about the United States. Much less attention was paid to this because people did not take it seriously. He really might try to destroy Israel, but it seemed far-fetched that he would try to destroy the U.S. Whether he will or not, that is the goal that he and his fellow jihadists dream of.
Those who believe that the Islamists are motivated by poverty or suffering or injustices committed against them by Israel or the West should pay more attention to Pakistan and Iraq, where Sunni Islamists commit mass murder against Shiites and bomb their mosques. Even those who practice a different strain of Islam are not considered to be true Muslims and therefore are legitimate targets. These fanatics draw their strength not from defeats and grievances but from the sense of success and power. In particular the movement of radical Islam gained its momentum from the defeat of the Soviet Union in Afghanistan, in which fighters from many countries participated. They like to say: "With the help of Allah, we defeated one superpower, now we can defeat the other."
(Never mind that it was, in fact, mostly the native Afghan nationalists, not foreign Islamists, who defeated the Soviets, and they were able to do it thanks to U.S. weapons, especially anti-aircraft missiles. Never mind, too, that they didn't actually defeat the Red Army, but that it was withdrawn by Soviet rulers who had become demoralized by resistance within their empire, especially in Poland. Solidarity and the Polish Catholic Church did far more than the Islamists to bring about the defeat of that superpower.)
Jihadists from around the world have flocked to Iraq to fight America and its allies. They believe they will win and drive the "infidels" from "Mesopotamia," the name they use to emphasize that they have no regard for modern national identities. If they succeed in Iraq they say they will use it as a base from which conquer the rest of the lands surrounding the Persian (or Arab) Gulf, a jumping off point for further conquests.
The Islamists' optimism has been fueled by the exploits of Hezbollah and Hamas. Whereas once Israel had seemed to be an invincible regional superpower, Hezbollah fighters succeeded in forcing it into an ignominious flight from Lebanon, leaving behind equipment and abandoned allies. Then Hamas drove Israel from Gaza. The evacuation of Gaza was not a flight; the Israelis saw it as unilaterally defining their own borders. But as Hamas saw it, suicide bombings had made the continuing occupation too costly for Israel. Most Palestinians thought Hamas was right and rewarded it with their votes.
The Hamas and Hezbollah attacks that triggered the current crisis show how self-assured they have become. If Israel fails to deal them crippling blows — or is prevented from doing so — then the Middle East will grow much more tumultuous. The Arab moderates, who have advocated peace with Israel, will look cowardly and foolish. The jihadists will be strengthened in every country. None will dare make peace with Israel, and the states that already have made peace will wiggle away from it.
The tumult will not be confined to the Middle East. The jihadist movement is global, even more so than the Communist movement in its heyday, when triumphs of Russian Communists inspired triumphs by their "comrades" in places as distant as China and Cuba. The feats of Hamas and Hezbollah will make young, impressionable Muslims turn to the path of jihad in many corners of the world. Few places will be more vulnerable to the effects of this than Europe, with its rapidly growing Muslim population — many of whom are alienated from Western society.
To denounce Israel for using "disproportionate" force is tantamount to telling Israel to accept its role as the victim. In this way the EU hopes to propitiate the Islamists, just as Chamberlain and Daladier offered up Czechoslovakia to Hitler. As before, this craven gesture would lead to disaster for Europe. Israel, however, is not Czechoslovakia, and it will ignore the EU. For that, Europeans owe it thanks.

The OTS is the first international organization to hold a Summit on COVID-19 pandemic at the level of Heads of States on the global scale. At the Summit, the Heads of States put a special emphasis on need of a close cooperation with the WHO.
The OTS has been in close contact with the World Health Organization (WHO) since the outbreak of the pandemic.
Director General of WHO Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus delivered a speech at the Extraordinary Video Summit of the OTS held on 10 April 2020. WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr. Hans Kluge also delivered speeches at the Meeting of the Ministers of Health of the OTS on 28 April 2020 and at 4th Meeting of the Health Scientific Group of the Organization on 30 October 2020.
OTS in its turn for the first time participated as a partner at the 70th session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe on 14 September 2020 and the Secretary General delivered a statement emphasizing support to the proposal of WHO European Regional Office to unite efforts of regional multilateral institutions and mechanisms around health as one of the key objectives of the European Programme of Work (2020–2025) – "United Action for Better Health in Europe".
The Secretary General and WHO Regional Director with the aim of putting the relations between the two organizations into an institutionalized framework and establishing the legal basis for future engagements signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on 11 September 2020.
To discuss the cooperation opportunities, as well as to develop an Action Plan between the OTS and WHO on the basis of the MOU signed between the two organizations, the Secretary General visited the Regional Office for Europe of WHO in Copenhagen on 30 November-1 December 2020.
The parties reaffirmed their determination and solidarity in the fight against COVID-19 pandemic as well as in implementation of the MOU and European Program of Work for 2020–2025.
They also agreed to organize online training programs for health professionals, to accelerate implementation of the International Health Regulation (2005), to improve high vaccination coverage, conduct capacity building for data and health information systems, strengthen digital health in primary health as well as together with the WHO Representatives in the Member and Observer States's capitals to start procedures of designating new WHO Collaboration Centers.
As a result of the close cooperation between the two organizations, Prof. Dr. Emine Alp Meşe, Deputy Minister of Health of the Republic of Turkey and the Chair of the OTS Health Scientific Group also contributes to the work of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Pan-European Commission on Health and Sustainable Development as the representative of the Organization.
The OTS Secretariat participated in the 72nd session of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe (RC72), on 12–14 September 2022 in Tel Aviv, Israel. The event gathered the Heads of States and Governments, Ministers of health, representatives from 53 countries and international partner organizations across the WHO European Region met first time in-person in three years. In the margins of the RC72nd session, the delegation of the Secretariat and the WHO Europe held meeting to discuss future joint activities and agreed to collaborate on organizing a conference on "Emergency Preparedness and Sustainable Development – shaping our future in a transforming world" in 2023.

The Tragic And Cursed History Of Two Guns, Arizona
Rachel Souerbry
Updated October 11, 2018 66.5k views14 items
Two Guns, AZ, is one of the many cursed ghost towns scattered throughout the Southwest. It's a long-abandoned town, but tourists still stop to see its ruins along Old Route 66. Set on the rim of a canyon, the strange little town was the sight of a tragedy involving two Native American tribes. Beginning in the early 1920s, Earle and Louise Cundiff established a trading post, which grew over the years to include a restaurant and gas pumps.
A man named Harry E. Miller showed up in the late '20s, leased property from the Cundiffs, and constructed a full-blown tourist trap. He played up the area's turbulent history and claimed he was full-blooded Apache. It's unclear if this claim was true. However, it was clear Miller wasn't happy simply leasing land from the Cundiffs: he wanted to own Two Guns, and his actions led to many disputes and at least one slaying.
But some wonder: was the downfall of Two Guns Miller's fault alone, or did the land have a curse long before he blew into town?
Tragedy In The 'Apache Death Cave' Led To A Curse On The Land

The town of Two Guns based much of its tourism around the "Apache Death Cave," a nearby cavern in Diablo Canyon. It was the site of a deadly conflict between members of the local Apache and Navajo tribes. In 1878, a group of Apaches raided a Navajo encampment, killing nearly everyone and looting their valuables.
When the Navajo tribe realized what had happened, they sent a party to search for the Apaches. The Apaches raided another encampment nearby, but they seemingly disappeared shortly afterward.
Navajo scouts soon discovered their hiding place. A burst of warm air from a campfire gave away the Apaches' location in an underground cavern. The entire Apache raiding party and their horses were inside, so the Navajo lit a fire in the cave's entrance. As smoke filled the cavern, the Apache killed their horses and used the carcasses to block the fire.
Some accounts say they used the horses' blood to attempt to extinguish the flames. It was useless - 42 Apaches died of suffocation, as the Navajo listened to their death songs from outside. Some people believe this deadly incident cursed the land around Two Guns.
The Town Began As A Modest Trading Post
Though pioneers had lived and traveled in the area for centuries - and Native Americans for longer - the town of Canyon Lodge wasn't an officially established American town until the early 19th century. Mr. and Mrs. Oldfield, early Arizona homesteaders, founded the city. It slowly expanded over the decades as other pioneers joined. When Earle and Louise Cundiff moved to town, they bought more than 300 acres of land.
As the small outpost expanded into a popular tourist stop, Canyon Lodge became Two Guns at around the same time when the National Trail Highway became Route 66 in the 1920s. By this time, it became a well-established small town. Residents built a gas station and restaurant to serve the travelers passing through.
Harry 'Two Guns' Miller Developed A Native American Persona To Impress Tourists
Photo: Z22 / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 3.0
Harry "Two Guns" Miller's ancestry remains unknown, but in the 1920s, he claimed he was Native American and created an Apache persona for his tourism business. He grew his hair out and wore it in braids, calling himself Chief Crazy Thunder.
A veteran of the Spanish-American War, Miller established his business when the town was starting to become profitable as part of Route 66; historians believe the Native American backstory was nothing more than an act. He was not well-liked and most considered him disagreeable; it's unlikely an Apache would sell the skulls of fellow tribe members in a gift shop, as Miller did.
Miller's Dark Tourism Kicked Off The Curse Of Two Guns
After 42 Apaches died in the so-called "Death Cave," residents believed the land surrounding Two Guns became cursed. But it wasn't until Miller's arrival when the town ran into trouble. Many think Miller exacerbated the curse by selling the skulls of the Apaches who had died in the cave as souvenirs.
One of the first incidents of the curse allegedly occurred when a drifter couple stayed the night in Two Guns. They robbed Miller's store and took off with substantial merchandise. Over the next few decades, people attributed several fires and a slaying to the curse.

Even automakers don't want Trump's emissions rollback
The 2012 Obama-era rule required automakers to have an average fuel economy of 54 miles-per-gallon for passenger cars by 2025. In addition to lowering emissions and helping combat climate change, it would save consumers money because they'd end up spending less on gas.
The Trump administration's proposal — which is a joint venture of the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and DOT (Department of Transportation) — would freeze an automaker's average fuel economy to about 37 miles-per-gallon in 2021. The reasoning behind this is that the Obama-era rules were too tough for automakers to comply with, the 2012 rules make new cars too expensive and up to a 1,000 lives a year will be saved by the Trump administration proposal. The mental gymnastics of that last claim is impressive.
Oh, also the proposal wants to strip a state's right to set its own emissions standards. Mostly this is aimed at California. The state has the toughest standards and really sets the trend for the rest of the country when it comes to regulating vehicle pollution.
Of course, the auto industry should be beside itself with glee over this right? Right? Yeah, not so much. Automakers were not fans of the Obama-era rules. They also found them to be overly ambitious. Still, they're not really happy with this proposal either.
The issue is that this kind of scorched earth rulemaking puts automakers in a sort of limbo. California and other states have already said they'll challenge these new rules in court. While the states and the federal government battle it out with teams of lawyers, automakers will have to decide if they go with the Obama-era rules (basically going down the road they already know), go down the potential Trump-era rules (which might bite them in the ass if they are defeated in court), or find a happy medium and hope for the best.
It's a happy medium that the auto industry wanted in the first place. They wanted some of the rules to be tempered with year-based goals. Something to take some of the pressure off the fuel economy rules without triggering what's happening now, which is uncertainty.
To highlight the industry's concerns, the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (which includes Ford, BMW, Fiat Chrysler, GM, Jaguar Land Rover, Mazda, Mercedes, Toyota, Volkswagen, Volvo and others) issued the following statement:
Automakers support continued improvements in fuel economy and flexibilities that incentivize advanced technologies while balancing priorities like affordability, safety, jobs, and the environment. With today's release of the Administration's proposals, it's time for substantive negotiations to begin. We urge California and the federal government to find a common sense solution that sets continued increases in vehicle efficiency standards while also meeting the needs of America's drivers.
Automakers set roadmaps years, even decades in advance. What some of them wanted was a little breathing room to adjust those plans. Instead, they got turmoil and uncertainty. This is in addition to the ridiculous trade war.
Meanwhile, in the rest of the world, fuel economy standards and the push for EVs will stay the same. Those aren't going away just because the United States decided to change its mind. If you're a company building a car in a single factory to be sold both in Europe and the United States it might not even make financial sense to build a "dirty" version for the US. Especially since the cars share the same components.
This also trickles down to the companies that build the parts (including ones for emissions). If an automaker isn't sure what the fuel efficiency of a car will be in four years, how would the people that make the parts possibly know?
All of this is bad for business. Instead of finding a responsible solution, the Trump administration just created a whole host of problems for the companies they were supposedly helping.
That's business. The more important issue is the quality of our air.
Los Angeles, where cars are a religion, has horrible smog. It has some of the worst air pollution in the country. It actually used to be worse. Before the Clean Air Act was passed in 1970, Los Angeles was covered in brown smog.
No really, look at these crazy photos of people coping with smog in Los Angeles before the 1970s.
California noticed that while the air was cleaner, it was still a mess. So the state created their own emissions standard to battle the growing number of cars on the road. People will still buy cars, but as a state, it decided those cars should be cleaner. The Trump administration wants to take that power away, and California is not happy about that and it's ready to go to court with 19 other states on its side.
By creating rules to reduce the amount of pollution caused by passenger vehicles, we make the air just easier to breath. That's important because pollution kills. I like a twin-turbo V8 as much as the next car nut, but I like breathing way more. It's how I keep living.
The proposal by the EPA and DOT notes that their plan will save 1,000 lives a year because folks can't afford to swap their older car with a new, safer vehicle thanks to the Obama-era rules. By their own estimates, overall average vehicle ownership cost will be reduced by $2,340 (because technology to make cars cleaner is expensive). Now when you spread that cost over three to five years that's about $780 to $468 a year.
If you hop on over to the government's FuelEconomy.gov and plug in the Trump proposal average (37 MPG) and the Obama rules average (54 MPG) the yearly savings on gas is $361. Now the yearly savings for a five-year car loan is $107. For a three-year car loan, it's $419. Or $9 and $35 a month respectively.
It's weird that the EPA and DOT didn't include fuel costs in their calculations.
Even if you still think the 54 miles per gallon average by 2025 is excessive, it's important to note, it's not impossible. When GM created the Chevy Bolt they didn't expect the range to be as high as it is. But they created a great EV that's good to go over 200 miles.
But these companies don't need to replace their entire lineup with EVs. For some folks, an electric car doesn't work. But hybrid, variable compression and technologies like Skip Fire make even our beloved SUVs and crossovers more fuel efficient.
The weirdest thing is that the administration sort of forgot about the newest US automaker. Tesla literally can't build EVs fast enough. Model 3 production and Tesla as a company may have problems, but it also showed that the public wants an electric car that doesn't spout trash into the air. We're ravenous for it and other automakers have taken note.
Nearly all automakers (including a lot of American ones) have announced that they will have more electrified vehicles available during the next decade. Various companies on numerous occasions have told me, it's not because of regulations, it's what consumers want.
So I'm not sure who the Trump administration thought they were helping with this proposal. Maybe it plays well with people that "roll coal" or climate-change deniers. Oil companies might be happy about this. But it's bad for the environment, people, automakers and suppliers. The only people benefiting from the proposal right now are lawyers because the lawsuits from states (especially California), they're coming.

Dyche Derby Delight
Sean Dyche felt his side fully deserved their Capital One Cup victory over Preston at Turf Moor.
The Clarets went two goals up in the first half to Kieran Trippier's fifth minute free kick – his first goal of the season – and Danny Ings' composed 34th minute finish.
And despite a second half rally from the visitors, Burnley, with goalkeeper Alex Cisak enjoying an excellent debut, stood firm to go into the hat for the thirds round draw on Wednesday night.
Clarets boss Dyche said: "You have to find a way to win and we have done that again tonight.
"I thought the lads mostly delivered a good performance.
"We've played patches of really good, productive football and stayed strong when we haven't kept the ball as well.
"But despite being patchy at times, the moments of quality turned it in our favour.
"There was a spell in the second half where I didn't feel we kept the ball, but give Preston credit because being 2-0 down brought them a lot of freedom.
"They pressed and lost any inhibition, got on the front foot and pressed us all over the pitch.
"That, in turn, made us go longer at times and made life difficult.
"But as the game wore on I felt we took control of it again and kept the ball better.
"But overall, we've done the job. It was a local derby against a good club with a good manager and good players.
"I think they will be a force this season in their division, so I am very happy with the outcome."
Dyche made four changes to the side that lost to Brighton at the weekend, with Cisak replacing the suspended Tom Heaton and Michael Duff, Ben Mee and David Edgar all starting their first games of the season.
Dyche added: "It was important to get players up and running and the only way to do that is to play first team games at some point.
"The changes were made with that in mind and we are happy they came through unscathed and fit and well."

Craig no longer appears on the Panthers' roster, and he hasn't competed for them since the SMU Invitational last November.
Both the Ohio State men and women dominated the Tim Welsh invite, with the Buckeye women putting up a pair top two times nationally in the free relays.
The time that Sullivan put up Saturday was her second nation-leading time, as on Friday, she swam a 4:35.88 500 free to lead the NCAA by over two seconds.
Kacper Stokowski Clocks 44.79 100 Back for #1 Time in the NCAA This Season
Kacper Stokowski led off NC State's winning 400 medley relay in 44.79, taking over the top 100 back time in the NCAA this season.

William & Mary and UNC Wilmington took the CAA titles on the final day of the conference championships, marking W&M's first title since 2017 and UNCW's first since 2014.
W&M took back-to-back titles in 2016 and 2017 before going through a championship drought. After leading his team to the title in 2022, coach Nate Kellogg received the CAA Women's Coach of the Year for the second-straight season.
UNCW's 14th title is the most of the league so far, and it marks the end of a dry spell after the team won 13 straight titles from 2002-2014. The team's coach, Bobby Guntoro, won the CAA Men's Swimming Coach of the Year honor.
Drexel's Kacper Karnik broke the sole record of Day 4, clinching the CAA meet record in the 200 breaststroke with his time of 1:54.69. Karnik broke his own record, previously 1:56.22. Towson's Brian Benzig would also have broken the meet record with his 2nd-place time of 1:55.33 if not for Karnik's swim.
Karnik won the men's Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet in conjunction with UNCW's Henderson Louviere.
In the women's 200 breaststroke, W&M's Annie Tuttle defended her reigning CAA title to take 1st in the event with a time of 2:14.44.
In the mile, sophomore Brooke Knisley won the first UNCW win in the event in 15 years. Knisley swam the event in 16:14.31, an NCAA B cut. There was a much tighter race between 2nd and 3rd place, with Drexel's Maddie Riley taking silver in 16:46.61 and Towson's Karlee Carminati taking bronze in 16:48.62. Riley was three or so seconds ahead of Carminati until the last 100, when Carminati was able to narrow the gap.
UNCW also took the men's title in the 1650. Sam O'Brien's winning race (15:27.16) marked the first time since 2003 that UNCW won that event. It was a tight race between O'Brien and his teammate Silas Crosby, and the two touched almost at the same time on every 50, though Crosby eventually finished in 15:28.09.
Drexel freshman Federica Nocera cemented Drexel dominance in the women's 200 back, winning in 1:56.56 and marking the fifth time in the last six years a Drexel athlete has won the event. She was able to beat the No. 1 seed from prelims, Bailey Smith, who took 2nd with a time of 1:58.08.
After being behind for the first 150, Delaware's Gavin Currie won the 200 back in 1:45.38, the first time a Delaware man has won the event since 2013. UNCW's William Baker came in just a few tenths later at 1:45.93, followed by teammate Brent Hoshall at 1:46.74.
W&M took another victory in the women's 100 free thanks to Katie Stevenson (49.89), but the more exciting race came for 2nd, when Drexel's Chelsea Gravereaux and Lera Nasedkina tied in 50.18. Nasedkina turned at the first 50 first, but Gavereaux made a comeback in the last 50.
Towson defended its 100 free title, though a different athlete from the team won the event–Ryan Baldino. Baldino defeated last year's winner of the event, Michael Fazio, with his time of 43.98 compared to Fazio's 2nd-place time of 44.23.
Mira Selling earned her third gold medal of the meet when she won the 200 fly in 2:00.00. She is the second-ever Delaware swimmer to win the event. Her performance at the meet overall won her the women's Most Outstanding Swimmer of the Meet award.
Towson's Nick McClure defended his title in the 200 fly (1:45.13) and gave his team its eighth gold in the event in the last nine years. He out-touched Drexel's Paris Raptis, who earned 2nd in 1:45.26.
Drexel edged out W&M during the 400 free relay, though it wouldn't put a dent in W&M's quest for the title. The team of Nasedkina (51.31), Victoria Palochik (50.54), Paige Powell (50.36), and Gravereaux (49.43) won the final relay of the meet in 3:21.64. W&M's team of Stevenson (49.72), Missy Cundiff (51.03), Elizabeth Intihar (51.07), and Anna Kenna (50.07) came in 2nd at 3:21.89.
On the men's side, Towson defended its title in the 400 free relay with its team of Benzing (44.30), Fazio (43.21), Luke Schwar (43.70), and Baldino (43.59), who swam a total time of 2:54.80. UNCW came in 2nd and Delaware came in 3rd.
The diving portion of the meet ended Saturday with Courtney Klausen of UNCW defending her title in the 1-meter to a tune of 276.40 points. She swept both the 1-meter and 3-meter, and her performance earned her the women's Most Outstanding Diver of the Meet. The men's winner of the award was Nicholas Newis for his performance earlier in the meet, and UNCW coach Beau Bunn won Women's and Men's Diving Coach of the Year.

Earlier this year, Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar joined forces for their gripping song "Never Catch Me." It looks as if that wasn't their only collaboration this year. Apparently, K.Dot had a verse on FL's "Eyes Above" which didn't make the final cut. However, Flying Lotus has been blasting Kendrick's unreleased verse at his recent shows, like last night's set in D.C. Listen to some new bars from the Top Dawg spitter thanks to Flying Lotus above.

Perhaps the most anticipated functionality of the new version for NPFs is the profitability factor analysis — the calculation of new profitability indicators calculated from various items of income and expenses.
This functionality was dictated by changes to the Bank of Russia directive No. 4623-U dated November 27, 2017, effective from October 1, 2021, regarding the procedure for filling out reporting forms 0420254 (for non-state pension provision) and 0420255 (for state pension insurance).
The new version also includes an analytical dashboard to make it easier to fill out these reporting forms.
Many GAMA users already take advantage of the capabilities of analytical dashboards, the construction of which is carried out using the library of data visualization utilities integrated into GAMA from DevExpress.
In the new version, we made significant changes to the dashboard functionality. Their reliability and load capacity have dramatically increased.
Another upgrade to the dynamic and constantly updated dashboards was support for multiple dashboard servers, which delivers impressive performance and data refresh rates.
GAMA's new version also includes changes in data quality, asset valuation, imports and interface.

Churches Together in England (CTE) is an ecumenical organisation and the national instrument for the Christian Churches in England. It helps its Member Churches work better together.

Churches Together in England supports a network of Intermediate Bodies, each usually covering an English county or metropolitan area. It also has Bodies in Association, a wide range of organisations and networks which draws together Christians of all churches around common causes, projects and interests.

Churches Together in England issued a call to prayer during the COVID-19 pandemic, inviting all Christians and people of prayer to join on Mothering Sunday 22 March 2020, at 7.00 pm, and to light a candle in the windows of their homes as a visible symbol of light and hope. The following Sundays the emphasis shifted to praying and displaying a poster, rather than lighting a candle.

Leadership and governance
Churches Together in England is a company registered at Companies House with number 05354231,
and a charity registered at the Charity Commission with number 1110782.
The organisation is governed by a Board, whose members
are the trustees of the charity and the directors of the company.

The Enabling Group is a biannual overnight meeting of representatives for the purposes of governance and common concern. The Enabling Group consists of representatives from each Member Church, from Intermediate Bodies, and from Bodies in Association.

There are six Presidents of Churches Together in England:
the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby
the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Westminster, Cardinal Vincent Nichols
the Free Churches' Moderator, Hugh Osgood, until April 2022.  (The Revd Canon Helen Dixon Cameron (a Methodist) is to be the next Free Churches Moderator, with effect from April 2022)
the Fourth Presidency Group president, appointed by the Fourth Presidency Group but not currently enacted (updated Nov 2019)
the President for the Orthodox Churches, Archbishop Angaelos of London
Pastor Agu Irukwu (Pentecostal President).

The Fourth Presidency Group consists of the Church of Scotland (Presbytery of England), the Council of Lutheran Churches, the Evangelical Lutheran Church of England, the Evangelische Synode Deutscher Sprache in Großbritannien (German-Speaking Lutheran, Reformed and United Congregations in Great Britain) and the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers in Britain).

The Forum of Churches Together in England is a conference of around three hundred representatives of churches and bodies associated with Churches Together in England.
The Moderator of the Forum of Churches Together in England for the three-year period 2015 to 2018 is Ruth Gee (chair of the Darlington Methodist District) with Hilary Topp (a Quaker, working for Student Christian Movement) as Deputy Moderator.
The 2018 Forum had the theme 'I am with you always – together in God's mission' and was held in Swanwick, Derbyshire, on 17-19 September 2018.
The Moderator of the 2022 Forum is Hilary Topp, the Deputy Moderator is Anton Muller.

The General Secretary of Churches Together in England is Revd Dr Paul Goodliff, who is due to retire during 2022.  On 4 November 2021, CTE announced that Bishop Mike Royal is to be the next general secretary.  Bishop Mike is a bishop with the Apostolic Pastoral Congress.

Controversy over presidency of Hannah Brock Womack

In November 2019, a disagreement between Churches Together in England and Quakers in Britain regarding the Presidency for the Fourth Presidency Group became public.

Following a vacancy, Quakers in Britain nominated Hannah Brock Womack for the Presidency, and the Fourth Presidency Group agreed the appointment. However, as stated by CTE,
"the Member Churches of CTE, through the Enabling Group, have recently requested the Fourth Presidency Group to refrain from enacting its Presidency at this time, leaving the Fourth Presidency as an 'empty chair' for the current term of office."
In a concurrent announcement, Quakers in Britain stated that "The Churches have rejected the Quakers' appointee Hannah Brock Womack, because she is married to a woman. An active Quaker, she is a young, radical peace activist, who campaigns against the arms trade and works in the voluntary sector."

In response, the United Reformed Church noted with deep sadness the inability of CTE to confirm the appointment, and called for dialogue to "continue until a more just outcome can be reached."

The Methodist Church recognised the pain and shared the grief caused by the decision, and stated that the outcome does not represent the Methodist position that being in a same-sex marriage is no bar to roles within the Church, while acknowledging that not all churches agree with this position.

The convenor of the General Council of the Student Christian Movement, Tom Packer-Stucki, declared that "we stand in solidarity with Hannah Brock Womack and the Quaker movement in this difficult time" and called on CTE to "work together ecumenically to reach agreement about LGBTQ+ inclusion that is truly inclusive".

In a June 2020 interview, Hannah Brock Womack revealed that despite her presidency being blocked because of her same-sex marriage, she convenes meetings in the Fourth Presidency Group of CTE. She said: "I'm sad that I can't contribute. Coming from a non-hierarchical Church, and as the only woman in the group, I wanted to speak for those not usually represented, and for a radical and inclusive faith."

In September 2021, General Secretary Paul Goodliff announced that Helen Cameron would become a President in April 2022, taking the position of Hugh Osgood. Goodliff said: "The Methodist Church is representative of those Free Churches Group members who have made synodical decisions to allow equal marriages in their churches, and so Helen is representative of those churches which would want to see more rapid change in the policies of Churches towards same-sex marriage."

Member Churches

As of March 2022, Churches Together in England had 50 member churches.

Bodies in Association

In addition to the actual member churches or member denominations, there are
52 Bodies in Association with Churches Together in England. These are Christian organizations which, by their nature, are ecumenical but which are self-governing.

Intermediate or County Bodies

The Churches and their leaders meet together throughout England in county and large metropolitan areas. County bodies are sometimes called 'Intermediate Bodies' as they exist between the national and the local.

Most county bodies have a person appointed by the network of regional church leaders. These people are known as 'County Ecumenical officers', or CEOs for short. Many have 'development' or 'mission' in their job titles while others are called co-ordinators or facilitators. Each county body is autonomous, though in practice they often work with each other and with Churches Together in England.

History of Churches Together in England
Churches Together in England is part of the ecumenical structure introduced in 1990 when the British Council of Churches was replaced by the Council of Churches in Britain and Ireland (later renamed Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) and four national bodies:
 Churches Together in England
 Irish Council of Churches
 Action of Churches Together in Scotland, and
 Cytun (for Wales).

The British Council of Churches had been formed in 1942.

A National Free Church Council had come into being during the 1890s. A Federal Council of the Evangelical Free Churches was formed in 1916 as a more authoritative and representative body. These two merged in 1939 as the Free Church Federal Council.

A significant landmark was the 1910 World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh.

GardenSMART :: What To Do if You See a Tornado While You're Driving
What To Do if You See a Tornado While You're Driving
By Anna Norris, weather.com
It's the stuff of nightmares: You're driving down the road and you see a tornado. What do you do?
Most people think the best thing to do is to take shelter under an overpass or get out of the car and into a ditch or lower ground. But NOAA and the Red Cross do not recommend these as the safest courses of action.
"Highway overpasses are NOT tornado shelters, and these should be avoided," NOAA road safety guidelines state. "Ditches, culverts and ravines should be used only as an absolute last resort. You will be exposed to flying debris, rain and hail, lightning and extreme wind."

If the Tornado Is Far Enough Away
If you can see the tornado in the distance, NOAA recommends changing course and driving toward a sturdy shelter as soon as you are able. They recommend truck stops, convenience stores, restaurants, and even walk-in coolers. Once you are inside, go to the basement, a cellar, or a hallway or room without windows in the center of the house.
However, they warn you not to take shelter in a high-risk structure like a mobile home. Your car is safer than a mobile home, the Red Cross states in their safety brochure.
It is possible to try to get out of the tornado's path, NOAA says, and you may be able to stop and allow the tornado to pass, depending on where it is and how you're positioned. If you can see the tornado far in the distance and can determine its movement, drive at a right angle to that movement. So, if it's heading east, drive to the south.

If the Tornado Threat Is Immediate
If you're stuck in heavy traffic and there's nowhere for you to to go, it's time to duck and cover in a ditch or low spot. In that case, NOAA recommends getting as far away from your car as possible.
If the tornado is imminent and you are forced to stay in your car, the NWS recommends keeping your seat belt on and making sure your head is covered, below your windshield and windows to protect it from glass. The Red Cross recommends covering your head with a blanket, if you have one in the car.

Why You Should NEVER Take Shelter under an Overpass
It's understandable that motorists would feel safest under a sturdy structure like an overpass, but winds are actually higher in these openings, and debris is just as likely to harm you there.
"Seeking shelter under a highway overpass is to become a stationary target for flying debris, with a substantial risk of being blown out and carried by the tornado winds," the NOAA said in a presentation during the 1999 National Weather Association Annual Meeting. "Safety in such a location is merely an illusion."

Additionally, crowding under an overpass can block traffic and prevent important emergency vehicles from aiding affected areas, NOAA notes. It also cuts off potential escape routes from the tornado.

President Biden and China's Xi Jinping shake hands, say they'll manage "differences" at Bali meeting
By Haley Ott

With tension high between the United States and China, President Joe Biden and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping met in person on Monday for the first time since Mr. Biden took office. The leaders of the world's two biggest economies started their meeting on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, with a handshake and a stated aim to prevent their countries' differences from escalating into conflict.
"As leaders of our two nations, we share a responsibility, in my view, to show that China and the United States can manage our differences, prevent competition from becoming anything ever near conflict, and to find ways to work together on urgent global issues that require our mutual cooperation," Mr. Biden said at the opening of the meeting.
Xi said that while the two leaders had met via videoconference over the past few years, there was no replacement for in person discussions.

"As leaders of the two major countries, we need to chart the right course for the China-U.S. relationship. We need to find the right direction for the bilateral relationship going forward, and elevate the relationship," Xi said.
Both leaders came into the meeting from positions of strength at home: Mr. Biden's Democratic Party just performed better than expected in midterm elections, and Xi secured a third term as leader of China's Communist Party, solidifying what is effectively absolute power over his vast nation.
During his time in office, Mr. Biden has described China as "the biggest challenge to international order," and repeatedly raised issues with its military provocations against Taiwan, its human rights abuses, coercive trade practices, and its position on Russia's war in Ukraine.

Mr. Biden has said the U.S. would defend the self-governing island of Taiwan if Beijing were to invade. In recent months, Beijing has flown military planes near the island and fired missiles into the surrounding waters, and Xi has made it clear that he intends to "unify" the island with China, by force if necessary.
When House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited Taiwan during the summer, Beijing responded by cutting off communication with U.S. officials, CBS News congressional correspondent Nancy Cordes reported from Bali.
"I think both sides realize that if we keep going down the path that we're headed on, that will be conflict," China expert Scott Kennedy told Cordes.
He said Mr. Biden was likely to push Xi in their closed-door meeting on Beijing's reluctance to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine. China initially stood by Putin, before Ukraine started taking back territory.
"They know where their economic bread is buttered: with the West, not with Russia," Kennedy told Cordes.

The Skylark Federation is undergoing the process of redesigning its curriculum.
See below for a video briefly outlining our curriculum redesign journey so far, for a working draft of our 3-year curriculum cycle in History, and for a letter briefly outlining the main changes in our curriculum programme from last academic year.
You must consent to the use of advertising cookies to allow this YouTube video to show.
Our curriculum is built around our children. We follow the National Curriculum which is a blueprint used by schools to ensure that teaching standards are consistent. Schools are free to plan how the National Curriculum fits with their particular strengths and introduce other activities that extend the learning experience for their pupils. The National Curriculum sets out the most important knowledge and skills that every child has a right to learn.
Our school is blocked into three main areas:
Hedgehogs Class - Foundation & Key Stage One
Foxes Class - Key Stage One & Key Stage Two
Badgers Class & Owls Class - Key Stage Two
As part of the National Curriculum the children in Key Stage One and Key Stage Two are taught compulsory subjects including: English, Mathematics, Science, Design Technology, Computing, History, Geography, Art and Design, Music, PE and French.
All schools also have to teach RE, though parents have the right to withdraw children for all or part of the RE curriculum. In addition, we teach Personal, Social and Health Education.
Our parents receive regular curriculum letters from our Class Teachers.
At Hamsey we follow the 'Letters and Sounds' scheme of work for phonics teaching and we use 'Story world' and 'Phonics Bug' reading schemes for our younger children (please see link below for more information).
In regards to the wider curriculum, we currently have a project-based approach to our curriculum with the main focus being History in Terms 1 & 2, Geography in Terms 3 & 4 and the Arts in Terms 5 & 6.
We are committed to creative learning opportunities and learning outside the classroom whenever and wherever we can. Our learning projects are organised on a three year rolling programme and coverage of the National Curriculum is ensured in a way that is accessible and enjoyable for our children.
