Firm Size and the Business Environment : Worldwide Survey Results
cbnd
Schiffer, Mirjam
Weder, Beatrice
The development of the small, and medium enterprise sector is believed to be crucial for economic growth, and poverty alleviation. Those who seek to develop the sector, must consent with the general perception that small- and medium-scale enterprises are at a disadvantage, compared with larger firms. In theory, however, smaller firms may also have advantages over larger firms. For instance, they may be less affected by excessive regulations, because they can easily slip into informal arrangements. This paper draws on a new private sector survey covering eighty countries, and one territory to study the question whether business obstacles are related to firm size. The main finding is that there is indeed a bias against small firms. Overall, (that is, for the world sample) small firms report more problems than medium-sized firms, which in turn report more problems than large firms. In particular, smaller firms face significantly more problems than larger firms with financing, taxes and regulations, inflation, corruption and street crime. Thus these impediments should be prime targets for policies directed at leveling the playing field. Some of the most severe perceived impediments to doing business affect firms of all sizes, and consequently call for across-the-board policy improvements. In addition to the worldwide analysis, the paper presents an analysis by region, and by individual country.

Mini Grids for Half a Billion People : Market Outlook and Handbook for Decision Makers
Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (2019-06)
Approximately 1.2 billion people will need to gain access to electricity to achieve universal access by 2030. The only way to achieve this is through a combination of the main grid extension, mini grids, and off-grid solar. This report shows that about half a billion people can be cost-effectively provided with electricity through mini grids. The combination of falling costs, dramatic increase in the quality of service, and favorable enabling environments have made modern mini grids a scalable option to complement grid extension and solar home systems. The report is the most comprehensive study on mini grids to date. It takes stock of the global mini grid market and industry; analyzes in detail the solar-hybrid mini grid costs and technological innovations; shows the importance of introducing income-generating machinery and micro-finance early in the planning process; and provides policy makers, ...

Global Findex Database 2017 : Measuring Financial Inclusion and the Fintech Revolution
Demirguc-Kunt, Asli; Klapper, Leora; Singer, Dorothe; Ansar, Saniya; Hess, Jake (2018-04-19)
The Global Findex database is the world's most comprehensive set of data on how people make payments, save money, borrow and manage risk. Launched in 2011, it includes more than 100 financial inclusion indicators in a format allowing users to compare access to financial services among adults worldwide -- including by gender, age and household income. This third edition of the database was compiled in 2017 using nationally representative surveys in more than 140 developing and high-income countries. The database includes updated indicators on access to and use of formal and informal financial services. It features additional data on Fintech and digital financial services, including the use of mobile phones and internet technology to conduct financial transactions. Global Findex data is utilized to track progress toward the World Bank's goal of Universal Financial Access by 2020 and the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals. The data also is a source for the G20 Financial Inclusion Indicators and a benchmark for policymakers seeking to expand access to and use of financial ...

Gender Quotas and Female Leadership
Pande, Rohini; Ford, Deanna (2012)
Despite significant advances in education and political participation, women remain underrepresented in leadership positions in politics and business across the globe. In many countries, policy-makers have responded by introducing gender quotas in politics and increasingly, many have expressed an interest in requiring gender quotas for corporate boards. This paper reviews the evidence on the equity and efficiency impacts of gender quotas for political positions and corporate board membership. Adoption of quotas by countries is likely correlated with attitudes about women within a country. However, the randomized allocation of political quotas in India and the unanticipated introduction of board quotas in Norway have allowed researchers to provide causal analysis and this review focuses on evidence from these two settings. The Indian evidence demonstrates that quotas increase female leadership and influences policy outcomes. In addition, rather than create a backlash against women, quotas can reduce gender discrimination in the long-term. The board quota evidence is more mixed. While ...

Remittance Stability, Cyclicality and Stabilizing Impact in Developing Countries
Neagu, Ileana C.; Schiff, Maurice (2009-10-01)
That remittances are a stable source of external finance seems to have become the received wisdom. In addition, many studies have found remittances to behave counter-cyclically, increasing during crises and times of hardship for the recipient countries. Are remittances reliable macroeconomic stabilizers? To answer this question, the present study examines the stability, cyclicality, and stabilizing impact of remittances in comparison with the same three features for other foreign-exchange inflows, namely foreign direct investment and official development aid. The analysis is performed at the country and regional levels rather than at the aggregate or global level (on which much of the received wisdom rests), because policymakers are concerned with the impact of remittances in their country rather than at the global level. The main findings for 1980-2007 are that in a majority of countries: ...

Trade Policy Reform and Poverty Alleviation
Hoekman, Bernard; Michalopoulos, Constantine; Schiff, Maurice; Tarr, David (2001-12)
In this paper, developed as part of the World Bank's Poverty Reduction Strategy Sourcebook, the authors examine how to implement trade liberalization as part of a strategy for alleviating poverty in developing countries. They discuss trade policy instruments, institutions, complementary policies, sector issues, adjustment policies, and safety nets in an integrated approach to trade policy as a tool for poverty alleviation. The authors examine the patterns or models of trade policy that have been successful in alleviating poverty. They discuss the role of tariffs, nontariff barriers, contingent protection (such as safeguards and antidumping), special import regimes (such as duty drawback), export taxes, export subsidies, and trade-related institutions (such as standards, marketing, export finance, customs clearance, and regional trade arrangements). The authors also discuss policies ...

International Migration, Economic Development and Policy
Özden, Çağlar; Schiff, Maurice (2007)
This volume reflects the expansion of the World Bank Research Program on International Migration and Development into new substantive and geographic areas. It presents a new global migration database and includes studies of the determinants and impact of return and circular migration, the impact of the flow of ideas on fertility, host country policies and their impact on immigrants, and the impact of international migration and remittances on poverty and other development indicators. The studies cover countries from Latin America, North Africa, South Asia, the South Pacific, and Western Europe, and show that the impact of migration on education and health tends to benefit girls more than boys, that its impact on labor force participation tends to be stronger for women than men, that return migrants tend to do better than non-migrants, and that fertility has tended to decline in countries whose ...

A caulking gun is a tool that holds a tube or cartridge that's filled with material used for sealing up gaps and cracks in the home. Caulk can be made of silicone or latex, and is used to bond a wide range of materials like metal, glass, wood and ceramic. Caulk usually comes in a tube. You need a caulking gun to get the caulk out of the tube. The gun will help you regulate how much caulk is released at one time, and will also makes the caulk come out exactly where you want it [source: Do It Yourself].
Here's how to use a caulking gun.
Press the release at the rear of the gun with your thumb, releasing the plunger at the back of the gun.
Pull the plunger all the way back. Put the tube into the gun, with the nozzle in the front.
Push the plunger tightly into the back of the tube, and remove your thumb. The gun is now loaded.
Cut the tip of the cartridge so that the hole matches the size of the gap you want to fill.
Push a nail or pin through the hole to puncture any inner seal.
Hold the gun at a 45 degree angle along the gap you want to seal.
Squeeze the gun's handle or trigger slowly while drawing the gun toward you. When you can't squeeze the handle any more release it. It will automatically spring back. When it is in its original position, you're ready to squeeze again. How hard you squeeze the trigger and how quickly you move the gun will determine how much caulk is applied at each spot. Remember, more caulk will come out at the end of each squeeze.
You can smooth out the caulk with your finger when you're done [source: Jhtianyi].


Al-Ayoun — President of the Republic, Secretary General of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, affirmed that the Moroccan occupier is in an international isolation, despite its prevarications, stubbornness and obstacles, pointing out that Morocco has no other choice but to negotiate with the Polisario Front to seek a formula leading, inevitably, to the independence of the Sahrawi people.
"The next negotiations between the two parties to the conflict, namely the Polisario Front and Morocco, will focus mainly on the way to follow to enable the Sahrawi people to exercise their right to self-determination and independence," said Ghali on Saturday in the wilaya of Al-Ayoun, Sahrawi refugee camps, in a speech on the occasion of the 17th meeting of the North communities.
Sahrawi President condemned "the psychological war" conducted by Morocco against the Sahrawi citizens by "questioning the achievements made by the Sahrawi people," stressing the urgent need to thwart these desperate attempts by the consolidation of ranks, commitment to the national unity and the rallying around the Polisario Front, the Sahrawi people's only and legitimate representative.
Ghali stressed the need to strengthen activism in all its forms, notably diplomatic, citing, in this regard, "the struggle for the natural resources" in which, the Sahrawi people, snatched several victories, despite "the attempts of the enemy and some European countries aimed at circumventing the international law."
On this occasion, Ghali said that "the Sahrawi people own all the natural resources of Western Sahara" and that "no other party can exploit them without consulting their only and legitimate representative, that is the Polisario Front."

Pièce pour l'oeuvre du 'Vêtement du blessé'
André Cluytens
Pascal Rogé
Jacopo Salvatori
Show all 27 recordings of this work
Jeux is a ballet. The story for the work was suggested by the Russian dancer and choreographer Vladimir Nijinsky, famous for his association with Igor Stravinsky, Serge Diaghilev, and the Ballet Russes. Nijinsky had danced in Debussy's L'après midi d'une faune in 1912, and apparently felt some affinity with Debussy and his music. Debussy rejected Nijinsky's original scenario, which included a game of tennis and a crashing airplane; instead, Debussy proposed a scenario in which two women and a man become involved in a love triangle while searching for a lost tennis ball one evening. Premiered in 1913 by the Ballets Russes, the ballet is set at a tennis court, where a man happens upon two women. The man turns on the charm, and flirts with one until he gets a kiss, making the other jealous. The second girl then dances with the man, while the first leaves. They join together at the end, and the ballet ends with a tennis ball rolling across the stage, edging the trio offstage.
The ballet has been criticized for its inaccessibility, and indeed it is an intimidating, complicated work. Absent from the work are repeating themes, clear tonal centers, and simple functional harmonies, making the work somewhat reminiscent of Arnold Schoenberg's atonal modernist opera of 1909, Erwartung, in which "themes" are heard only once, and motivic material is abandoned almost immediately after it is heard. Jeux contains a number of techniques carried over from Debussy's earlier opera Pelléas et Mélisande -- most notably what Arthur Denk calls "diatonic saturation," a technique which exhausts all of the diatonic pitches in embellishing a single chord. The ballet also contains moments of bitonality, in the form of superimposed contrasting diatonic sonorities, and moments of near-atonality. However, there is ultimately a subtle overarching tonal framework (using modal, pentatonic, major, and minor tonalities) connecting the various episodes of the work.
Jeux was premiered just two weeks before Stravinsky's then scandalous Le sacre du printemps, and Debussy was deeply impressed by Le sacre. There are a number of similarities between the two ballets, most notably the adventurous harmonies that stretch the limits of tonality. Debussy's ballet marks a turning point in his career, perhaps even a moment of crisis, and ultimately it would be Stravinsky whose influence would push Debussy in a new musical direction.

Lowes Bounces Back to Portimão Podium
Alex Lowes reclaimed third position in the WorldSBK championship standings from his Pata Yamaha WorldSBK teammate, Michael van der Mark, with a strong showing in Portimão today. The 28-year-old Briton stormed to a podium finish with third place in the Superpole Sprint race, before getting the better of a titanic race-long battle with compatriot Leon Haslam to finish in a creditable fourth place in Race 2.
Lowes' performance in today's two races shows the resilience of the Pata Yamaha rider, who bounced back from a frustrating Race 1, in which he struggled throughout for rear grip. Yesterday Lowes saw his teammate finish on the podium and take a two-point advantage in the standings but responded with two strong performances today to reclaim third place in the championship with a five-point advantage over van der Mark in fourth.
Van der Mark went into Race 2 looking to repeat his podium success of yesterday, but changes to the set-up of his Yamaha YZF-R1 ahead of the race failed to bring the expected improvements and the 26-year-old Dutchman struggled to maintain a consistent pace as a result. The Pata Yamaha rider was involved in an intense battle with fellow Yamaha rider, Loris Baz, in the final stages of the race, with the Frenchman gaining the advantage on the final lap to take sixth place, with van der Mark following him home in seventh.
It was another difficult weekend for Marco Melandri, as he continues to search for a set-up to suit his riding style, but his feeling with the bike in Race 2 was better than it had been in Race 1 and the veteran Italian took advantage to claim his best result of the weekend with eighth place.
Sandro Cortese racked up his third top-ten finish of the weekend this afternoon, adding a tenth place in Race 2 to the eighth places he secured in Race 1 yesterday and the Superpole race this morning. The reigning Supersport World Champion was satisfied with a weekend in which his confidence has been restored following injury in qualifying for the Donington Park round, but also slightly frustrated that a lack of rear grip stopped him meeting his own expectations in today's final race outing.
Loris Baz paid heavily for an error in qualifying yesterday, which saw him starting from the fifth row of the grid in this morning's Superpole race. Despite a less than ideal start, the Frenchman had managed to fight his way through the field to claim ninth at the chequered flag, securing himself a start from the third row of the grid for Race 2. Having lost time on the leading two groups passing Tom Sykes, Baz found himself three seconds adrift of van der Mark in sixth place as the race entered the final stages. The Ten Kate Yamaha rider got his head down and managed to catch the Dutchman with four laps to go, getting the better of the subsequent battle to deny the Pata Yamaha rider sixth place on the line.
Pata Yamaha WorldSBK – P3 and P4 – Championship Position P3 – 249 Points
"Yesterday I was a bit frustrated because a lack of grip in the latter stages meant I couldn't really race, but it was the complete opposite today, with two really good races. The battle with Leon Haslam in Race 2 was fantastic and really good fun. He was struggling with the front and I was struggling more with the rear, so while he could get the run on me, he couldn't get the bike stopped, which made for a really close race. To get a third and a fourth today, at a track where I've struggled a bit in the past when it's hot, is fantastic. Good racing, I really enjoyed it and now I'm looking forward to Magny-Cours."
"The Superpole race wasn't easy, but our goal was to improve the feeling with the bike and secure a better grid position for Race 2 and we achieved that. We made a small change to the set up ahead of Race 2 and, as a result, I struggled a lot more than yesterday, unfortunately. Yesterday I could ride the bike exactly how I wanted, but today I simply didn't have a good feeling from the start and wasn't able to maintain a consistent pace. I lost a lot of time, which is a shame, but we know where we need to improve and I'm confident we'll be back at the front in Magny-Cours, which is a track I really like."

Thanks again to Sipshare for sending this beer out!
I'm excited to be able to try another OverHop product as their offerings as Mondial last year were absolutely tasty! Like the Hazy New England IPA I reviewed the other day, this OverHop beer is contracted out to Oshlag Brasserie & Distillerie in Montreal.
Today's review is of their One Love Imperial IPA that tops out at 9% ABV, 90 IBU and was actually the first beer that OverHop ever made!
Appearance: Pours a hefty, cloudy bright (yet) dark orange body with a light amount of carbonation. The head starts out thick and frothy with a beige hue to it, but it quickly diminishes to mostly a bit of lacing on the side of the glass and a bit of foam around the edge of the glass.
Aroma: A rich, tropical aroma with notes of pineapple, grapefruit, mango and passionfruit. There's not much of a bitter hop presence.. it's mostly fruit-forward and a bit of a biscuity yeastiness lingering around.
Taste: I'm having a hard time writing as fast as I'm drinking this.. I'm absolutely loving it! It's sweet and tropical/fruity and very very smooth, which is surprising as it's 9.0% ABV. It has a rich presence of passion fruit, mango, pineapple and grapefruit. There's a light presence of oatiness that gives it that oaty bite you see in most tropical IPAs that I love. The aftertaste is a combination of oats and guava. Well, once it starts warming up (near the end), I do start getting a bit of a boozey sweetness.. but I didn't give this beer enough time to warm up.
Overall Thoughts: Sweet, tropical, slightly oaty and pairs well with the patio on a nice summer afternoon. I'm kind of bored of New England IPAs at the moment so I'm glad it doesn't have that typical NE taste to it. Solid, easy to drink tropical IPA that happens to be freaking 9.0% ABV!

It is considered by many to be the finest British film ever made. A stirring masterpiece like no other. The indelible General Clive Candy barely survives four decades of tumultuous British history (1902 to 1942), only to see the world change irrevocably before his eyes. Blimp is both moving and slyly satirical, an incomparable film about war, love, and aging.

Comments, Observations, and Brain Dumps from Ramallah (at heart).
[BAPD] Rewriting the History of the Holy Land
Posted by za3tar on	May 15, 2009	Leave a comment (21) Go to comments
There are many contemporary issues regarding Palestine and the Arab-Israeli conflict that one could talk about. However, today I would like to shed some light on an issue that is perhaps not as prominent in discussions as it should be.
As we know, the Middle East and the Mediterranean basin in general were the cradles of many early human civilizations. This region is full of historical artifacts dating to thousands of years ago. These historical artifacts are not the exclusive right of any one people, but are indeed the property of the world in general because they are a crucial part of our common humanity and global history.
For this reason, it is sad to see the destruction to ancient historical ruins and artifacts in conflict zones. We've all heard of how ancient Babylonian monuments were some of the victims of the war in Iraq. A similar situation is also happening in the holy land amidst the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
However, an even worse crime is the deliberate rewriting of ancient history to serve current political moods. There is no denying that Jews lived in this region thousands of years ago. Yet at the same time we can not deny or ignore that Arabs and other ethnicities lived in this area as well for thousands of years. Not only that, but for the last 1400 years, the area of Israel and Palestine was inhabited and ruled over by Arabs and Muslims.
For the past few years, Israel has been digging for artifacts of the biblical Jewish era of the land at the expense of artifacts from other eras, specifically Arab and Muslim times. Just to make it clear, the problem here isn't that they are digging for Jewish artifacts, it is that they are doing that at the expense of the Arabic history of this land. Israel should not be allowed to pretend as if this land has been sitting empty and idle for the past 2000 years. Not only does that history belong to Arabs and Muslims, it also belongs to the world in its entirety. This is just like the fact that the ancient pyramids in Giza do not belong to Egyptians exclusively, they belong to the world. So, if for some reason Egypt decides to demolish the sphinx or one of the pyramids tomorrow, it will not be allowed because these monuments are not its exclusive property. So must be the case for Israel.
This concern is not a wild stroke of the imagination. The New York Times recently ran an article on a series of parks being built in Jerusalem that will overrun Arab and Muslim old sites and enforce only Jewish history, totally ignoring the History of that city and its current Arab population.
Not only that, but if you take a walk inside the Old City of Jerusalem you will see how the many Muslim sites are ignored by the municipality and left to deteriorate , while the Jewish sites are dug up and excavated at the expense of Muslim sites. When I was in old Jerusalem i was shocked to see that there even some paintings being sold of the old city without the Dome of the Rock which is the city's most prominent land mark and has stood tall in the city for at least 1300 years!
If you watch the History Channel you will undoubtedly run into the multitude of shows excavating the tiniest rock to show the ancient Jewish history of the area. However, hardly any show ever mentions the Muslim history of the land as well, or even other epochs by other people. The audience of these shows is left with the impression that this area has been continuously controlled by Jewish people and that Arabs and Muslims never were there. I remember clearly that in one of the shows the host joined a tent of volunteers who were looking at rubble in some area and were excavating for historical artifacts. As the host was sifting through his pile, he came across some peculiar piece, so he asked the tent director if it could be of some relevance. The directory replied "No, it is Umayyad" and they tossed it away !! Why toss it away if it is Umayyad ? isn't that at at least 1250 years old ? Isn't that interesting ?
The danger is not in ignoring the big noticeable landmarks like the Dome of the Rock or Al-Aqsa mosque. These are easy to spot and many people recognize them. The problem is in throwing away, damaging, or destroying the smaller and lesser known sites. The ruins of a small Umayyad palace near the Noble Sanctuary have been damaged by Israeli excavations for Jewish ruins.
These infringements on ancient sites, and preferring some over the other will result in a warped view of the history of this region. In my opinion, this is totally wrong. Old history does not belong to one people, it is a property of our common humanity.
Of course, Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims have their role to play. We should pay more attention to preserving these ancient ruins in the holy land, and start our own efforts to excavating this region for its history as well. With that said, I think historical sites should be protected from politics. Archaeologists should be honest to history, and should not favor one people's history over another based on politics. Truly, if we don't know our past, we can't understand our present; and if we don't understand our present, we can't plan for our future.

Love love love love this article. Well thought of! This morning I got some bull headed comments from some ignorant people saying that we cannot label our selves as Palestinians, because there weren't many of us and it was never a country. We didn't have enough history to make us that… what the heck? Obviously I had to do my never ending banning from commenting on my site, because I will not accept such ignorance about the subject matter.
People should read your article, and maybe start learning that we are here. We existed for 100's of years like everyone else. I don't understand how people till now think that Palestine was a land with hardly any people. Where did the 700,000 people that were forced to leave Palestine in 1948 come from? Is that not enough of a number to tell the world, well yah, the land had SOME people.
Ignorance sometimes makes me want to vomit from disgust!
za3tar May 15, 2009 at 5:19 pm
Rebellious Arab Girl: Thanks. It seems that some of those people were taught from infancy that that land has only been Jewish for the thousands of years and the Arabs only showed up when Israel claimed stake of the land. Totally absurd indeed!
I had one guy on my blog come and say that "Only when Israelis started producing oranges in the size of a man's head, that is when Palestinians decided to come to the land and claim it its own" … 😐 .. some people are just idiots 🙂
It is also weird to see how some of these people can deny the existence of Palestinians even though the story of young King David fighting the Philistines (Goliath was a Philistine) is right there in their bible.
الحقيقة May 15, 2009 at 5:48 pm
Obviously there's no such thing as "Palestinians". They never existed in history.
And they never will.
And it's true: Only when Israelis started producing oranges in the size of a man's head, that is when Arabs decided to come to the land and claim it its own.
"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese." — PLO Executive Committee member Zuhayr Muhsin, March 31, 1977, interview with the Dutch newspaper Trouw."
Qwaider قويدر May 15, 2009 at 6:07 pm
@الحقيقة
A poor translation doesn't account for the FACT that Mohsen was assassinated on July 15 in 1979 in Cannes, France by the Israeli Mossad
Zuhair Mohsin is a Baathist Arab Nationalist. Dreaming of a nation from the Arabian gulf to the Atlantic ocean. Instead of a the land for the Palestinians on their historic national soil.
Mohsen's view is his own. He also probably meant to say that The Palestinian people don't exist [because they were driven out of their homeland]. But either case, this doesn't mean anything. He represents himself, and the Baathist regimes. Not the majority of the Palestinians
@Za3tar
Excellent article, and blessed effort. It's seriously amazing and very refreshing to see bloggers from all over the world join in on this tragic anniversary. Hopefully, Blog About Palestine day will make a difference in the lives of many
Ahmad Hamdan May 15, 2009 at 7:27 pm
Thanx a lot for the post, Israel just twist history so they could prove that this land is for them even though all history proves it's not
Bar Kochba May 15, 2009 at 9:11 pm
The Philistines were an Aegean people who are now extinct. They have no connection to the Arabs who now occupy Israel. Since biblical times, there has been a continuous Jewish presence in Israel. There have only been 3 independent states in Israel, all Jewish: The Davidic Kingdom, the Hasmonean Dynasty and the modern State of Israel. There was never a Palestine or a Palestinian people. The Romans gave the land the name "Palestine" to try and erase the Jewish connection to the Land.
Despite the exile, Jews always maintained a presence in the Land. The Arabs may have invaded and occupied the Land but that does not give them any right to colonize it. Israel is Jewish and will always be.
The Land of Israel, for the Nation of Israel, according to the Torah of Israel!
za3tar May 15, 2009 at 10:47 pm
Qwaider: Thank you. These events unfortunately always attract the hate speech of such people.
Ahmad Hamdan: Indeed buddy.
Bar Kochba: OK , even if that was the case, you are saying that the presence of Arabs and Muslims over that land for almost 1400 years up to current days does not give them any right to live there ??!!!
Bar Kochba May 15, 2009 at 11:04 pm
By what right does the Land of Israel belong to the Arabs? Certainly not on the claims of Palestinian sovereignty. There was never a period when "Palestinian" Arabs held control over a country named Palestine, because there never was a "Palestinian people"! Israel was at various times in history part of the Arab and Ottoman empire but this does not make it any more Arab or Muslim than it is Greek, Roman, Persian and British for being part of the Greek, Roman, Persian and British empires.
Most of the people who call themselves "Palestinian" moved to the region from Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon and the Maghreb, in the 19th century, because of the improved living conditions caused by Jewish return.
Palestine, actually does exist- in Jordan. 2/3 of the population is "Palestinian", and it was originally meant to be part of the Jewish National Home but the British instead gave it to the Arabs. You already have a state. Israel is mine. Leave it alone!
Bar Kochba: Look, every year I get people of your type. I am willing to talk if you can have a rational argument and are willing to engage in constructive civilized debate. But sitting here and denying that we have a legitimate claim to this land is just absurd. What makes a Palestinian different than an Arab ??? … Palestinians *ARE* Arabs !!!
"Palestinians *ARE* Arabs !!!" Exactly. I reject any sort of foreign influence or non-Jewish claim to the Land of Israel. The Arabs invaded the land and conquered it. However, its rightful owners are the Jewish people.
I'm happy to talk also. Your post deals with rewriting the history of the Holy Land. Yet, historical revisionism plays a key role in the "Palestinian" national identity. The Muslim wakf on the Temple Mount has been steadily destroying Jewish artifacts and dumping them in the Kidron Valley. The Arabs deny that the Jews have a right to the Land. And I am saying that we were there first, and we will be there long afterwards.
Qwaider قويدر May 16, 2009 at 12:30 am
Who said Jews can't be Arabs as well? There are many Arab Jews. That's first
Second, Canaanites (way before Jews even existed) were Arabs and Arabs are of their descent. When Abraham came to Palestine, it was already occupied. Even Abraham himself isn't Jewish. The Jewish faith started in the Time of Moses. Before it, there was the Israelites, the twelve tribes of Israel which are NOT JEWISH, they were Hebrews but not Jewish … yet.
Israel (Jacob) himself, wasn't living in an Empty land. There were others, and it was a location where caravans would pass.
Jews didn't come to EXISTENCE except AFTER Jacob. That leaves a good 40,000 years of everyone else to have lived and have claims over this land.
Jews were NOT there first. They are sort of a late addition to the game. But Arabs have always coexisted with Jews there. Unlike what the Israeli government have done as it forced people out of their homes
It's conceivable that Palestinians who were kicked out were original Jews who converted to Christianity, then to Islam. Not everyone who lived in Palestine came from somewhere else. With the exception of ALL the Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews who are known to have lived elsewhere. Some of the Mizrahi (probably 1%) did live in Palestine and are ARAB JEWS. Just like Bani Quraida, Bani Nadir and Bani Qainuqa 1400 years ago. They were ARAB Jews
On a funny side note, telling a Jew that he's an Arab is probably the biggest insult there is in the racist Israeli entity these days. We should probably add them to the Arab league and make them suffer with endless summits 🙂
za3tar May 16, 2009 at 12:34 am
Bar Kochba: So let me get this straight, you acknowledge that the Arabs & Muslims have lived as the majority on this land for the past ~1400 years yet you deny that they have any right to it. At the same time, you acknowledge that the Jews were the minority on this land for the past 2000 years but they are some how the "rightful owners" of this land and that the Arabs should be kicked out ??
Rebellious Arab Girl May 16, 2009 at 2:02 am
You guys have more will power to fight with people. I banned these people because they have been bugging me all day with the same argument. I rather read replies here, and not bother with it on my site. I am not going to go into an endless historical/political debate there. However, Za3tar, I will use your site since the debate seems to be on fire!
Bar Kochba.. ahh.. as Mark Twain has said: "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics." Go live your life basing it on stats and dates. We live our life based on our hearts, souls, and attachment to something that is in our bloods and roots that we will never part with. Israelis can never kill every single Palestinian on earth. As long as we exist, you live in fear. No matter where we are in this world.
Also, one last thought. Back in 2006. When Lebanon and Israel was at war, why were the Israelis rushing to the Canadian and other foreign embassies trying to get out of Israel? The moment an Israeli senses fear and death near their doors they run away or fight back with the most advanced weapons known to man. But it is that Palestinian/Lebanese will power that drives Israeli's crazy!! Why the fear from us? Do you guys live in so much fear that you have to protect your self that much or run away when you can't do it anymore?
There is so much to say regarding this topic, but we will end up in a never ending debate. The only way to solve this problem is find a way to live in peace. Give everyone similar rights, and stop this racism. Just a curious thought since religion is always stuck in this middle of this argument, but isn't racism a sin for Jews?
Nice essay and thought. They say that history is written by the historians. So it is so important to *pay attention* For example most people that I know around my neck of the woods do not even *know* that israel as a "state" did not even exist before 1948: or about the mass migration of jewish people to that area.
I am not a history player: just a thought.
Great writing and effort. 🙂
The Canaanites are an extinct people. The Torah records the command to destroy the 7 nations that inhabited Canaan. 31 Canaanite cities were wiped out by Joshua, and the rest eventually assimilated during Babylonian times. The Arabs of today have no connection to the Canaanites, or other vanished peoples like the Edomites, Moabites, Amonites or Hivites. However, no serious scholar disputes the 3000 Jewish presence in Israel or the direct relation between the ancient Israelites and today's Jews.
http://www.aish.com/societywork/sciencenature/jewish_genes.asp
There are Arab Jews in the sense of European Jews or Asian Jews ie. Jews exiled in Arab or European lands. Sherif Hussein, the guardian of the Islamic Holy Places in Arabia, said the Palestinians' ancestors had only been in the area for 1,000 years. Even the Palestinians themselves have acknowledged their association with the region came long after the Jews. In testimony before the Anglo-American Committee in 1946, for example, they claimed a connection to Palestine of more than 1,000 years, dating back no further than the conquest of Muhammad's followers in the 7th century. And that claim is also dubious. Over the last 2,000 years, there have been massive invasions that killed off most of the local people (e.g., the Crusades), migrations, the plague, and other manmade or natural disasters. The entire local population was replaced many times over. During the British mandate alone, more than 100,000 Arabs emigrated from neighboring countries and are today considered Palestinians.
?…[the Palestinian Arabs'] basic sense of corporate historic identity was, at different levels, Muslim or Arab or – for some – Syrian; it is significant that even by the end of the Mandate in 1948, after thirty years of separate Palestinian political existence, there were virtually no books in Arabic on the history of Palestine..?
— Bernard Lewis, Semites and Anti-Semites: An Inquiry into Conflict and Prejudice, (New York: Norton, 1999), p. 186.
In short, even after the Roman exile, Jews have always lived in the Land of Israel. Starting the 1800s, Jews began actively to return home. Jews bought land legally from Syrian effendi absentee land-owners, built settlements and cultivated the land. "Palestinian" nationalism only became a movement after the Six Day War.

Qwaider قويدر May 18, 2009 at 1:15 am
You guys never quit. fine…
So you're fine admitting how the Jews murdered and committed genocide against Arab tribes in Palestine for over 3 years. And yet you cry over the Babylon and how Hitler treated the Jews. How hypocritical.
Historically, Arabs are divided into 3 groups. Extinct Arabs, and these include the people of Sodom and Gomorrah who are biblically placed around the same time of Abraham (who was not Jewish), Arabic Arabs and these are the decedents of Qahtan and Adnan the origin of Arabs. And Arabized Arabs, who are similar to the decedents of Ishmael, who isn't originally Arab (and not Jewish)
The Palestinians at the time who were speaking Aramaic (not Hebrew) and have been for a good 3 thousand years
If some deranged Arab made a comment, you guys grab it and run with it as as proof of everything. No, it means nothing. Arabs of all nationalities have ruled, and continuously inhibited the Land of Palestine before Jews ever existed despite the all the attempts to murder them over a good deal of 3 thousand year. We are still here and we will continue to be here and we will get back to our land.
Palestinians didn't sell their land. There were a few traitors, but the "absentee" were made like that because they were kicked out of their lands by Jewish gangs. Which committed terrorist acts against innocent Palestinians, AND the British. In fact the ver first terrorist acts were done BY THE JEWS in Palestine.
So what do you expect from a bunch of terrorists who stole the land? Other than trying to falsify history as well?
Dina May 18, 2009 at 5:08 pm
"..Sherif Hussein, the guardian of the Islamic Holy Places in Arabia, said the Palestinians' ancestors had only been in the area for 1,000 years."
Bar Kochba, are you realizing how unvoluntarily comical you are?
They have been there for "only 1000 years" – LOL! In every civilization with some sort of law, an owner, even a very rightful one, loses property after 30 years. Maybe you could extend it to encompass all global legal traditions – 3 generations, 90 years, surely is not unrealistic.
The gap between 90 years and ONE THOUSAND years is pretty large! For the slow at mind: This would mean under ANY thinkable legal regime, the owner would have lost any claim to the land. 1000 years is too long to uphold any claim. Where this rule of 30 years comes from? From an interest in PEACE and legal certainty. 30 years an owner has not managed to get his property back – a new generation has taken over the property already, then there is society's interest in avoiding an endless feud. Property of the initial owner is no more. Not just, but reasonable and well founded. After all, the young new owner generation has contributed to the maintenance of the property in the meantime, without being burdened with the crime of theft of the first new owner.
And you should know the national states, as opposed to regional empires, developed in Europe only in the 18th century. So it does not do your depiction of intelligence any favor to demand the existence of a sovereign Palestinian state before the 20th century. Then there should be no Turks, no Iraqis, no Syrians, no Lebanese.. This does not harm the fact that within the Ottoman empire, there was regional adminstration, and rulers set in place for specific territories (which WERE ethnic, if not national entities). Just like the Europeans, for example the Austro-Hungarian empire, managed their rule. With regional governors speaking the local language and reporting to the central authority.
If you know Jewish history, this might sound familiar to you: The Roman empire was organised in this way too.
So following your reasoning, the Jewish identity and state was extinct the moment Judäa was integrated into the Roman Empire. No sovereign power, a foreign domination – so I guess following your logic that was the end of the Jewish state, not the diaspora?
You might want to clear out your inconsistencies of thought, and refrain from getting "education" from racist propaganda only.
Qwaider,
There was nothing unusual in way the Israelites treated the peoples of Canaan according to ancient norms.
I repeat emphatically that the Canaanites have no relation to today's Arabs. They had a very different culture, religion, language and identity than today's Arabs and probably have little genetic relation.
Jews paid astronomical prices for land in Israel. They bought the most barren, deserted, swamp-infested land because that was the only one that the Arabs were willing to sell. hen John Hope Simpson arrived in Palestine in May 1930, he observed: "They [Jews] paid high prices for the land, and in addition they paid to certain of the occupants of those lands a considerable amount of money which they were not legally bound to pay." The Peel Commission's report found that Arab complaints about Jewish land acquisition were baseless. It pointed out that "much of the land now carrying orange groves was sand dunes or swamp and uncultivated when it was purchased….there was at the time of the earlier sales little evidence that the owners possessed either the resources or training needed to develop the land."24 Moreover, the Commission found the shortage was "due less to the amount of land acquired by Jews than to the increase in the Arab population." The report concluded that the presence of Jews in Palestine, along with the work of the British Administration, had resulted in higher wages, an improved standard of living and ample employment opportunities.
"In every civilization with some sort of law, an owner, even a very rightful one, loses property after 30 years." And yet you claim that Arabs should be allowed to return back to their homes 61 years after the establishment of the State of Israel. Jewish rights to the land are based on their antiquity and their preceding the Arabs there, and by the fact that today they are the majority and possess the land. Make up your mind: either the Land belongs to whoever was there first (in which case the Jews precede the Arabs) or it belongs to its current owners (in which case Israel is on the map and "Palestine is not).
The fact is that the Arabs living in the geographic entity known as Palestine did at no time consider themselves part of a distinct "Palestinian people". This entity is completely artificial and only came about following the Six Day War.
Jews have always had a large presence in Israel. Since 1867, Jews have been a clear majority in Jerusalem. Jews have been actively returning and rebuilding their country since the 1800s. Arabs have 22 states- Jews have one. Leave us alone and may G-d bless you in your own 22 countries.

Winter Hearts, the 13 author compilation to raise money for charity, is now history. We raised several thousand dollars to be split between The Trevor Project and Stonewall! An official announcement of all proceeds is coming soon. In the meantime, that means my contribution to the anthology, A Sweetwater Christmas, is now available for sale as an individual book.
In 2017, I started a short story series, 'Loving Blue in Red States'. There are currently seven short stories in the series. The first one was Sweetwater Texas. This novella, at reader request, is an expansion of that story, more than doubling it in length. Dozens of readers asked for the continuation of the Cass and Emmie story. They got their wish!
If you purchased Winter Hearts (thank you!), and read it cover to cover, you've already read A Sweetwater Christmas. If you missed out on Winter Hearts, you'll get a chance at an all new anthology by a dozen or more authors next year. In the meantime, all of the stories and novellas in the anthology have been released back to their authors, just like mine has been.
For a limited time, A Sweetwater Christmas is available exclusively at Amazon and free to read via Kindle Unlimited.

Senate probes alleged lopsided recruitment in DSS – Royal Times of Nigeria.
The Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter-Governmental Affairs said it has commenced investigation into the alleged lopsidedness recruitment of cadet officers in the Department of State Services (DSS).
The Chairman of the Committee, Tijjani Kaura, who disclosed during Thursday's plenary, said the committee would soon come up with its recommendations.
Quoting Order 43 of the Senate Standing Order, Kaura said the committee was prompted to commence investigation into the matter following petitions from some concerned Nigerians.
He assured that the committee would stop at nothing to ensure that the issue of federal character as contained in 1999 Constitution (Amended) was followed to the letter.
Kaura said, "I stand before you, on behalf of Senate Committee on Federal Character and Inter- Governmental Affairs, to say that this committee is looking critically into this matter.
"This is with the intention of ensuring that justice is done in this recruitment.
In his remarks, the President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, urged the committee to carry out thorough investigation into the matter and report back to the Senate.
He said, "In line with our standing rule, we cannot debate on the matter. We take note of your comment and we will look into the matter.


My experience makes me a believer in the adage that there is a natural order in the markets that has more geometric symmetry than most traders realize or want to believe. This is a fact, not subjective, because almost all market turning points adhere to a certain numerical sequence that you can prove to yourself by looking at historical charts. This sequence applies to both price and time. The primary tool used for this trade analysis is Fibonacci relationships. They include Fibonacci retracements and extensions, as well as time measurement, pivot dates by ratio and numerical sequence.
There is no need to go into the history of Fibonacci, other than to know it is the force that rules the movement of about anything you can imagine, including the financial markets.
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, etc.
The most interesting property of this numerical sequence is that as the series proceeds, any number is 1.618 times the preceding number, and 0.618 of the next number.
1.618 x 34 = 55 x 1.618 = 89 x 1.618 = 144.
.618 x 55 = 34, .618 x 89 = 55, .618 x 144 = 89.
The .618 and 1.618 numbers are what they call the Golden Numbers. You will also see the sequence root of .618, which is .786, and 1.272, the square root of 1.618, occur frequently in your trading.
Suffice to say, the Golden Numbers are dominant in math, nature and science. Planets revolve around the Golden Number, as does your heartbeat on an EKG, and even the index finger on your hand. Each section of your index finger, from the tip to the base of the wrist, is larger than the preceding one by about the Fibonacci ratio of 1.618. And lastly, they tell us that the Egyptian pyramids are based on the Golden Ratio/Numbers.
Key Point: My source for all of this trivia is goldennumber.net, but you can just go to Google.com and find any number of sites that give you this background in volume. If you believe it, I can teach you how to use it in a pragmatic way trading and investing in the markets.
Key Point: In spite of all the financial, economic and geopolitical events that affect the markets, you will see beyond any doubt that the up and down price fluctuations in all major markets are governed by the Fibonacci Golden Ratio.
Fibonacci is a sequence tool that is excellent by itself and that becomes very powerful when combined with volatility bands and standard deviation, let alone any of the other tools.
The minor ratio that will come into play sometimes is the .707 Fib retracement (square root of .50).
Retracements depict the potential reversal levels, support and resistance.
High - Low x Fib Ratio, then subtract it from the High.
Complete the other ratios for practice.
High - Low x Fib Ratio, then add it to the Low.
These extensions occur after price exceeds the 1.00 level and makes new lows or new highs beyond the last leg.
A minor extensions ratio that will come into play sometimes is the 1.414.
High - Low x Ratio, then subtract from the High.
High - Low x Ratio, then add to Low.
We have given you some Fibonacci background, and the basics of calculating the retracements and extensions, in addition to the ratios that I suggest you use. Now we will build on that.
Key Point: When you look at retracements and extensions in terms of price, you should also look for symmetry of time using the same ratios. It is not mandatory that you have both, but it is much better symmetry when you do, which builds your case for higher probability.
Key Point: Once you have identified a high-probability zone, it is the price action at that zone that determines what you will do.
The following SPX charts will demonstrate retracement, extension, time and price action at different zones.
This SPX weekly chart frames the Fibonacci retracement levels between the 1553 top and 769 bottom. You can see that the .236RT to 1553 of 954 was a major obstacle. The first rally from 776 reached 965, but didn't close above it.
From 965, the SPX declined to the 769 bottom (A) and then rallied to 954, right at the .236RT level, but failed to close above 954. The next leg down (BC) made a 789 low, then reversed to the upside and approached the .236RT level for the third time.
Key Point: The more price trades at resistance or support, the weaker the line is and the probability of penetration increases.
Price breaks above 954 and trades to the 1015 level. The 1.272 Fib extension of the BC leg is 999, and for 12 weeks, the SPX traded sideways with a high close of 998.
Key Point: If price breaks out of a range at a Fib level, the highest probability is that it will seek the next level.
The .382RT to 1553 is 1068, and that is exactly where the SPX traded and went sideways for four weeks (more detail on next chart) before breaking out and trading to the next Fib zone, which is the .50RT to 1553 of 1161. Notice also that there is a confluence with the 2.24 Fib extension of the BC leg at 1159. At the completion of this course on Jan. 29, 2004, 1155 is the rally high on Jan. 27, the SPX had traded down to 1122.38.
This chart demonstrates the natural order that the SPX has traded just using Fib retracements, extensions and time, which you will see better on the next chart. You have anticipated the key zones in advance.
On this chart, we will start with the time symmetry that is present in this move.
The BC leg from 954 - 789 was 14 weeks to the low and 13 weeks (Fib number) to the low close. Any reversal bar setup right there had to be taken. The 789 low week was a reversal bar (Hammer) with a high of 841.39. Sequence traders took entry.
Now it gets more interesting. Once price broke out above 954, you had anticipated the 1.272 zone, but on this chart, you also see that the last low in that zone was week 21 following the 789 low week. 21 is the 1.618 Fib extension of 13. Price then rallied, breaking out of the 1.272 zone range.
Key Point: When looking for time symmetry, you can use the low close or low, and measure it with a high close or high. That will all be considered symmetry.
After the 1.272 breakout, the SPX traded right up to the .382RT zone at 1088. The first weekly bar in that range was the 34th week, and price went sideways for four to five weeks with a high of 1064. Once again, there was price and time symmetry, as 34 (Fib number) is the 2.618 Fib extension of 13.
The advance above the .782RT level means anticipation of the next Fib RT zone, which would be the .50RT to 1553 at 1160. There is also a .50RT to the 1530 secondary high of 1150, and then the 2.24 Fib extension of the BC leg at 1159. The 1530 high was the 1,2,3 lower top to the 1553 all-time high after the initial decline to below 1350 from 1553. That would make it a significant high to measure a retracement.
From a time perspective, the 1155 high is Week 46 and the high close is Week 45. The 3.14 Fib extension of 14 is 44.
Review these two charts several times so you gain a good idea of the structured way a market trades most of the time and enables you to anticipate high-probability zones where you will take some kind of action, either buy or sell, but it is never nothing.

Our mission is to wholly support and work toward the release of The Leavenworth 10, a group of soldiers/Marines incarcerated at Ft. Leavenworth for killing members of Al-Qaeda or Iraqi insurgents. These decorated and committed soldiers/Marines who honorably served their country—achieving a significant number of combat medals over multiple deployments—are now serving sentences ranging between 10 years and life in prison . hey and their families have fallen victim to the untenable Rules of Engagement, demoralizing "Catch and Release" policies, and climate of political correctness that govern our troops' actions while trying to survive a combat zone.
While these soldiers/Marines have been judged very harshly by the military, our military leadership is currently releasing imprisoned enemy combatants back to the battlefield. We request the same mercy for these troops, many of whom have been denied clemency time and again. The Leavenworth 10 do not pose any threat and deserve to be returned to their families.
Please take the time to read their stories to the left. If you believe they should not be forgotten and left behind, contact your US Congressman and US Senators to bring awareness to their cases and most importantly let these soldiers/Marines know that we wholly and completely support each of them.

After further training with Julius Kniese, he appeared at the Bayreuth Festival as Parsifal in 1888, a role he sang there regularly until 1912; also appeared as Lohengrin there in 1894. From 1888 to 1900 he was a member of the Vienna Court Opera; on May 19,1891, he made his London debut at Covent Garden, returning there in 1897,1898, and 1901; made his first appearance at the Paris Opéra as Lohengrin on Sept. 16,1891, which role he also sang at his debut at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels on April 28,1894. He made his U.S. debut as Tannhäuser in Chicago (Nov. 9,1898); made his first appearance at the Metropolitan Opera in N.Y. in the same role (Nov. 29, 1898), and remained with the company until 1902. In 1907 he served as manager of the German Opera season at Covent Garden, where he also sang Tristan and Siegmund; in 1908 he sang Siegfried in Götterdämmerungand in 1914 Parsifal at the Paris Opéra. He taught voice in Paris and later in Brussels. He was equally at home in Wagnerian roles and the French repertoire.

I don't know what is wrong. Please help with your suggestions.

A: regarding on how to add your service on manifest.xml you can add your service as simple as <service android:name=".MyService" />

A: You should register services in simplest way like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.internalexternalstorageexample"
    android:versionCode="1"
    android:versionName="1.0" >

    <uses-sdk
        android:minSdkVersion="8"
        android:targetSdkVersion="19" />

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

    <application
        android:allowBackup="true"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <activity
            android:name=".MainActivity"
            android:label="@string/app_name" >
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

        <service android:name=".DownloadHtmlService" >
        </service>
    </application>

</manifest>

and use it like this:
package com.example.internalexternalstorageexample;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Intent intent = new Intent(MainActivity.this, DownloadHtmlService.class);
        intent.putExtra("url", "http://www.playboyplus.com/gallery/15433/christine-carter-fresh-beauty-nude/");
        startService(intent);
    }
}

and create it like this:
package com.example.internalexternalstorageexample;

import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.net.HttpURLConnection;
import java.net.URL;

    }

    @Override
    public void onStart(Intent intent, int startId) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

Emerging insights into the role of MicroRNAs in the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma
Hiroaki Haga, Irene Yan, Kenji Takahashi, Joseph Wood, Tushar Patel
The microRNAs (miRNAs) are small noncoding RNAs that are potent regulators of gene expression and can regulate several diverse biological functions. This minireview provides an overview of recent studies that have examined the role and involvement of miRNAs in cholangiocarcinomas. These studies provide evidence for deregulated expression of miRNA and are providing new insights into the potential contribution of these in the pathogenesis of cholangiocarcinoma.
