John Docker is one of Australia's best known cultural critics. He is also curiously perhaps Australia's best known Jewish anti-Zionist. This essay attributes Docker's anti-Zionism to his denial of the Jewish experience of oppression. Utilising a long-standing Marxist tradition, Docker depicts Jews not as a vulnerable minority group which at times secures some economic and political power, but rather as a powerful collective acting to defend narrow political group interests.
Part One of this essay introduces the historical context of Jewish anti-Zionism, and Marxist attitudes to Jews and Zionism. Part Two examines Docker's hostility to Zionism and Israel including his recent proposal for an academic boycott of Israel. Part Three explores Docker's Jewish identity, and his attitude to other Diaspora Jews and their support for Israel. Part Four summarizes the political, ideological and personal factors driving Docker's anti-Zionist perspective.
Prior to the Holocaust, Zionism existed as a minority movement throughout most of the Jewish world. It has been estimated that even in Poland, for example, only 25 to 30 per cent of Jews supported Zionism during the two inter-war decades (Rubinstein 2001: 14-15).
Many Jews appear to have regarded Zionism as an extremist movement with utopian, if not politically dangerous, objectives. Ideological opposition to Zionism was particularly strong from three sources. Jewish socialists including the numerically significant Bundists opposed Zionism as a reactionary diversion from the task of fighting anti-Semitism and defending Jewish rights in the Diaspora. Many Reform and assimilated Jews defined their Jewishness in solely religious rather than ethnic terms. And many Orthodox Jews believed that the rebuilding of the Jewish homeland must await the coming of the Messiah (Rubinstein 2001: 22-23; Kessler 2001).
However, following the Holocaust and the creation of the State of Israel, Jewish opposition to Zionism largely vanished. Religious Jews gradually came to see Zionism as a fulfillment, rather than contravention, of Jewish religious destiny. Many Bundists and socialists remained critical of Zionism's negation of the Jewish Diaspora, but in practice offered strong support for the State of Israel. In general, Jews increasingly turned to national, rather than internationalist solutions (Mendes 1999: 499-500).
To be sure, significant organisations were formed in Australia and Britain respectively in the mid-late 1940s to oppose the creation of a Jewish State, but they quickly disappeared (Medding 1968: 130-135; Rubinstein 1987: 303-321; Miller 2001). Over time, only pockets of Jewish ideological resistance to Zionism remained. They included, for example, marginal and eccentric groups such as the American Council for Judaism formed by a group of reform Rabbis in 1942, and the ultra-orthodox Neturei Karta movement based in Jerusalem (Menuhin 1969: 325-361 & 542-566; Berger 1978; Menuhin 1984: 222-243; Kolsky 1990). They also included some Jews on the radical Left whose opposition to Zionism arguably reflected a much older and highly malevolent political tradition.
Historically, some of the most prominent Jewish revolutionaries including Marx, Ferdinand Lassalle, Victor Adler, and Trotsky were noted for their hostility or at least indifference to Jews. This tendency for Jewish radicals to take sides against the aspirations of their own people reflected a specific denial of the Jewish experience of oppression.
For example, the Jewish-born leaders of the early 20th century Austrian socialist movement, Victor Adler and Otto Bauer, publicly equated anti-Semitism and philo-Semitism, insisted that philo-Semitism was identical with the defense of "Jewish capitalism," allowed anti-Semitism in their publication, and declined to defend individuals who had been victims of anti-Semitic attack. When the Socialist International called for protest meetings against the infamous blood libel trial of Menachem Beilis in 1911, Adler refused, reportedly exclaiming, "Jews and more Jews. As if the entire world revolved around the Jewish question" (Wistrich 1976: 98-114).
However, other leading Jewish socialists did express concern about specifically Jewish issues, and solidarity with Jewish victims of anti-Semitism. They included, for example, Julius Martov, Bernard Lazare, Moses Hess, Paul Axelrod, Leon Blum, and Eduard Bernstein (Mendes 1999: 495-496).
The division between these two viewpoints appeared to reflect the broad spectrum of Left views regarding the Jewish question. On the one hand, the statements of Adler and Bauer reflected a viewpoint that was once widespread in the socialist movement equating Jews with the worst excesses of international capitalist finance and banking. There was, therefore, no reason for the working class to recognise any positive aspects of Jewish identity and culture, or to display any solidarity with persecuted Jews.
However, the alternative viewpoint which gradually gained ascendancy in the socialist movement, recognized that many Jews were workers who experienced oppression on both class and ethnic grounds. This viewpoint implied that workers should defend Jews against anti-Semitic attacks (Mendes 1995).
Nevertheless, the first viewpoint tended to reignite when tensions emerged between the Left and the Jews over particular issues such as Soviet anti-Semitism and Israel. On these occasions, the Left would cynically present Jewish party members as the good Jews (some would say "Uncle Toms") who were willing to publicly criticize their own national group. However, Jews were now denounced as Zionists, rather than as capitalists.
This malevolent practice has become particularly widespread since the Six Day War with prominent anti-Zionists, whose identify is solely political rather than Jewish, highlighting their Jewish background in order to deflect accusations of anti-Semitism (Mendes 1996: 99-100, 106 & 119-120). This practice once again seeks to paint Jews as a powerful rather than oppressed group. It will be argued in a later section that this long-standing modernist political tradition has significantly influenced John Docker's anti-Zionist perspective.
For over two decades, John Docker has articulated an unremitting hostility to Zionism and Israel. This anti-Zionist perspective has no significance in itself. Many Australians share Docker's anti-Zionist views, and at least some of them are of Jewish background. What is significant and unique, however, is Docker's constant coupling of his anti-Zionism with a public Jewish identification.
Docker's first public statement on the Middle East appears to have been a 1979 letter published in the student newspaper of the NSW Institute of Technology. In this correspondence, Docker denounced what he called "the Israeli occupation of Palestine as an example of a more general European settler-colonialism and racist aggression of Third World peoples" (Docker 1979). But the letter also had a broader political purpose which was to canvass support for the formation of a NSW branch of the Melbourne-based Jews Against Zionism and Anti-Semitism (JAZA).
JAZA had been formed to defend Victorian community radio station 3CR against allegations of anti-Semitism raised by the Victorian Jewish Board of Deputies. Its mode of operation clearly reflected the historical tendency (described above) of some Jewish radicals to attack their own people, and deny their experience of oppression (Mendes 2002a). Docker's praise for JAZA suggested implicitly an endorsement of this practice. His statement also incorporated a theme that was to become prevalent in many of his later denunciations of Zionism: that the actions of Israel presented Jews with a serious moral challenge, and that Jews who opposed Zionism were particularly courageous human beings (Docker 1979).
Docker followed up with major critiques of Zionism in two articles published respectively in 1986 and 1987. The first critique denounced Leon Uris's novel, Exodus, for its allegedly demeaning portrayal of Arab lifestyle and culture (Docker 1986a). Docker also attacked the Australian Zionist movement for opposing proposals to establish a Jewish state in the Kimberleys (p. 93), and repeated the claim of Arab propagandists that Jews left Arab countries due to Zionist-inspired bombings, rather than due to government and populist anti-Semitism (p. 82).
Docker's other publication targeted the allegedly pro-Zionist texts of Australian novelist, Blanche D"Alpulget (Docker 1987). As with his earlier writing, Docker again championed the cause of anti-Zionist Jews such as Noam Chomsky, Maxime Rodinson, Israel Shahak, and local Maoist Albert Langer (p. 54). He also highlighted the common Marxist argument that there was no difference between left-wing Zionists and right-wing Zionists. Left Zionists were no less racist and colonialist than their Afrikaner counterparts in South Africa (pp. 62-64).
Further publications pursued similar agendas. For example, Docker accused Israel and other settler-societies of "displacing, killing, and frequently massacring the indigenous peoples" (Docker 1986b: 22). On another occasion, Docker referred to Israel as "a settler-colonizing power that has dispossessed the indigenous Arab inhabitants." Once again, Jewish anti-Zionists were specifically praised (Docker 1991a: 23).
Docker has also labelled Israel "an ethnically absolutist state accompanied by persecution and mass expulsions of the Palestinians" (Docker 2001a: 211), and has called for Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to be tried alongside Osama Bin Laden for crimes against humanity (Docker 2001b: 11).
In a number of publications, Docker noted that a long-time family friend and academic colleague Caroline Graham had stimulated and encouraged his initial interest in Zionism (Docker 1998: 9; Docker 2001: xi). Graham's influence on Docker's perspective was arguably not insignificant.
She was a prominent and hardline advocate of the Palestinian cause, acting as President of both the Sydney Palestine Human Rights Campaign, and the pro-Palestinian Australasian Middle East Studies Association (Osmond 1984). Graham is also known for her unique argument that the ALP's support for Israel reflects a financial conspiracy, rather than genuine concerns about Jewish rights and aspirations (Graham 1991).
The statement proceeds to accuse Israel of colonialism, murder, and crimes of war. The "vast majority of Israeli academics" are alleged to "have either supported the Israeli army onslaught on the Palestinians, or failed to voice any significant protest against it." The petition ends with a call for "urgent international action to stop the massacres perpetrated against the Palestinian people" (Docker & Hage 2002).
As with Docker's earlier anti-Zionist statements, there is nothing particularly original or significant about the contents of the petition. The petition is similar both in tone and argument to an earlier academic petition initiated by British scientist, Steven Rose. In addition, many of its signatories including some Jewish academics are long-time critics of Israel. And as with similar petitions overseas, the petition has provoked counter-statements by academics supportive of Israel (Borowski et al 2002; Mendes 2002b).
The unique aspect, however, is the emphasis placed once again by Docker on the specifically Jewish motivations behind his involvement. For example, an article by The Australian on the proposed academic boycott refers twice to Docker's Jewish background and identity (Lawnham 2002). A later report by The Age cited Docker's Jewishness on three occasions, noting that Docker was "as a Jew... often appalled by what Israel does" (Strong 2002).
In summary, Docker has continually argued that his Jewish background and identity complement his anti-Zionist beliefs. However, the overwhelming majority of Australian Jews would reject such an association. Any explanation for Docker's articulation of this Jewish anti-Zionist identity would necessarily seem to require an analysis of his attitudes to other Jews and their support for Israel.
Docker grew up in the Sydney suburb of Bondi. His parents were both active in the Communist Party, his father Irish and his mother of East End Jewish background. His Jewish uncles Lew and Jock Levy were also active in the Communist Party.
Docker was brought up without any religious beliefs, and didn"t think of himself as Jewish during his childhood. Although his best friend was of Russian Jewish background, he notes that he felt uncomfortable with other Jews he met at school both because they seemed "really Jewish," and also because his family were "obviously poor" compared to most Jews. But as a young adult, he consciously sought out information about Jewish traditions, and his own Jewish ancestry (Docker 1992).
Docker notes that he grew up with what postmodernists positively call a "multiple, fragmented, and contradictory identity" (Docker 1992). Elsewhere, he relates with relish a colleague's statement describing him as "neither Jewish nor non-Jewish" (Docker 2001: xi). But it seems here that Docker is probably rationalising what appears to have been a difficult and perhaps even painful experience of feeling left out or isolated from the Jewish group or collective.
In terms of his upbringing, Docker's lack of a secure Jewish identity is hardly unique. Many of the Jewish Left activists I interviewed for a study on the Australian anti-Vietnam War movement had similarly grown up in socialist or communist homes in the 1950s and 60s that were ambivalent about Jewish identification (Mendes 1993: 43-100). Nevertheless, what does seem unique is Docker's overt anger towards what he sees as an ideologically uniform, intolerant, and socially exclusive Australian Jewish community.
Docker's hostility towards other Jews is expressed in two major contexts. Firstly, there is his reflection on Australian Jewish history where he takes early Jewish settlers to task for duplicating the racist and colonialist attitudes of non-Jewish settlers (Docker 1991b: 146; Docker 2001a: 172). At no time, however, does Docker explain why he would have expected nineteenth century Jews to hold different values and attitudes to most Western settlers. Docker's specific critique of Jews is not only discriminatory, but lacking in historical context. He seems unaware that these attitudes were so universal that they extended even to Karl Marx and the early socialist movement.
Docker's attack on the proposal to settle European Jewish refugees in the Kimberleys in the 1930s also lacks historical and political sensitivity (Docker 1991b: 146; 2001a: 172). Docker seems to have little understanding of why Jews were desperately fleeing oppression in Europe, and seeking refuge anywhere they could find it. A contemporary analogy would be labelling Afghan asylum seekers as settler colonialists intent on displacing Aborigines.
But Docker's real anger is with Jewish support for Israel. For example, he has accused Diaspora Jews of condoning war crimes and mass murder (Docker 2001b: 11). He argues that Australian Jewry has "disgraced itself because it has followed Israel and lost its independence. It is facing shame and dishonour in the world" (quoted in Rosenbaum 2001). Elsewhere, he depicts Israel's actions as "endangering the moral reputation of Jewry" (Docker 2001: 186).
Docker specifically attacks Australian Jewish roof bodies, accusing them of authoritarianism and attempting to suppress alternative Jewish views on the Middle East (Docker 1991b: 151 & 156; Docker 1998). He has referred to "Zionist control of the Australian media" (Docker 1998).
Despite identifying as a postmodernist (1991b: 156), Docker continually uses the Marxist tradition described earlier to manufacture binary opposites: the good Jews such as himself and Rodinson et al. who are willing to criticise their own oppressed national group, and the bad Jews who place national solidarity ahead of the broader class or political struggle.

Q: Make a textblock opaque for mouseclicks - so parenting panel's event doesn't fire Well how would one make it so that a textblock (or whatever) frameworkelement has a click event. But if that click event is fired the parent's (grid) click event won't fire. - The parent's click event should fire if not clicked on the textbox/whatever.
This is shown in a simple example:
using System;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Input;

namespace testit
{
    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class MainWindow : Window
    {
        public MainWindow() {
            InitializeComponent();
            Grid mainGrid = (Grid)FindName("MainGrid");
            mainGrid.MouseLeftButtonDown += ClickInNowhere;
            TextBlock tb = new TextBlock {
                Text = "hello\nworld"
            };
            tb.MaxWidth = 100;
            tb.MaxHeight = 100;
            mainGrid.Children.Add(tb);
            tb.MouseLeftButtonDown += ClickOnBox;
        }

        private void ClickInNowhere(object o, MouseButtonEventArgs args) {
            tb.Text = "hello\nworld";
        }

        private void ClickOnBox(object o, MouseButtonEventArgs args) {
            tb.Text += "a";
            //do something so that the "MouseLeftButtonDown" of the main window doesn't fire
        }
    }
}

With the xml format:
<Window x:Class="testit.MainWindow"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
        xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
        xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
        xmlns:local="clr-namespace:testit"
        mc:Ignorable="d"
        Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525">
    <Grid x:Name="MainGrid" Background="#FFC8C8C8" />
</Window>

Notice that hte grid has a background to make it react to mouse events. There should be two cases:

*

*Click on the textbox: the text in the box is appended by "a"

*Click outside the box: the text in the textbox gets reset to "hello\nworld"

This obviously doesn't happen: when ran through a debugger it can be seen that both events are fired.
So how to make the textblock opaque for mouse events?

A: You need to say, that event is handled:
private void ClickInNowhere(object o, MouseButtonEventArgs args) {
        tb.Text = "hello\nworld";
        args.Handled = true;
}

MouseButtonEventArgs derrive from RoutedEventArgs, which has the Handled property, here you can read more about it: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.routedeventargs.handled(v=vs.110).aspx
Also I recommend to read about event bubbling: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/464926/To-bubble-or-tunnel-basic-WPF-events

A: What you need to do is to mark the mouse event as handled.
private void ClickOnBox(object o, MouseButtonEventArgs args) {
        tb.Text += "a";
        //do something so that the "MouseLeftButtonDown" of the main window doesn't fire
        args.Handled = true;
    }

A: Set Handle property to true in MouseButtonEventArgs.
Because it is a bubble event and by setting Handle to true it will not be handled in parent.

Movie Review: "A Wrinkle in Time"
By David Medsker on	 March 8, 2018 Movies
Watching the beginning of "A Wrinkle in Time" felt eerily similar to watching 2017's film adaptation of "It," in that the film was enjoyable but in a bubble, a product of its time. I was dragged kicking and screaming into the present the next day, when a high school classmate of mine expressed concern that the filmmakers were going to ruin the last two chapters of the book in order to make political statements.
And that broke my heart, because 10 years ago, no one was asking me that question. And now I'm concerned that people are going to look for political statements here, and here's the thing about that: if you go looking for problems, or an agenda, you'll find one every time, whether or not one actually exists. For example, when one character tells another to "Resist!" (it's really the perfect word for the moment), is that going to serve as some dog whistle that this is somehow liberal propaganda?
Whoever decided to shoehorn weaponized politics into all other aspects of life, be it pop culture or sports, can go fuck themselves. They've ruined everything.
But I'll be damned if I let that ruin this movie for me, especially when the film itself does a pretty decent job of doing that on its own. Well, 'ruin' is a strong word; there is magic here, but there is also distance, and not of the time-and-space-traveling kind. This film has dozens of emotional beats, but only a handful of them hit the mark.
Meg Murry (Storm Reid) has been a lost soul since her brilliant father, physicist Alexander Murry (Chris Pine), disappeared four years ago. She is bullied at school and has given up on applying herself. One night, Meg's little brother Charles Wallace (Deric McCabe), who has a genius intellect and perhaps a touch of telepathy, invites Mrs. Whatsit (Reese Witherspoon), dressed head to toe in a neighbor's bed sheets, into their house. Mrs. Whatsit tells the family that their father's theory of a tesseract, the phenomenon of folding space and time, is real.
Later, Charles Wallace leads Meg and Calvin (Levi Miller), a popular kid mysteriously drawn away from his homework to find them, to meet Mrs. Who (Mindy Kaling) in an abandoned house. It is decided there that Mrs. Whatsit and Mrs. Who, in addition to Mrs. Which (Oprah Winfrey), will help Meg and Charles Wallace find their father, who is trapped on a planet that has been taken over by the IT, a malevolent force that intends to consume the universe in a cloud of darkness and fear.
Novel purists will find much to complain about, as several changes were applied in the jump from film to screen, but few if any of them are what we would consider dealbreakers. The jock twins Sandy and Dennys? Gone. Charles Wallace? Adopted. (That might seem random, but it has a big payoff later.) There are other changes as well, but we won't discuss them because a) spoilers, and b) the source material turns 56 years old this year. Is a verbatim translation really what we want, especially when, in the book, Calvin repeatedly refers to Charles Wallace as a moron because he didn't start speaking until he was 4 years old? Best of luck with selling that version to a modern-day audience.
Storm Reid is difficult to, um, read as an actress. As emotionally cut off as Meg is, Reid is also quite chill even when triggered. It's obviously better to underplay a role than to overplay it, but that comes at the cost of establishing an emotional bond with the viewer. In fact, there isn't a single lead in the film that lands much in the way of an emotional punch, which is doubly frustrating when the film contains some powerhouse actors and the moral of the story is the importance of choosing love over hate.
The bits the film gets right, though, it gets so, so right. Watching one character use a web of lies wrapped around a kernel of truth to weaken the resolve of another is chilling. It feels like we're watching a hardcore hostage interrogation. Showing the secret lives of the "perfect" kid and the bully girl give the story much-needed empathy, and they pulled a great stunt with Mrs. Who's dialogue that's too good to give away.
One word of caution to parents of young children, though: there are two genuinely creepy scenes in this movie, which led one younger audience member to leave the theater sobbing. If your kids are 6 or younger, wait until this hits home video (smaller screen and lower volume make a big difference), or maybe even wait a couple years.
Certain properties are harder to update than others. Heck, this is Disney's second attempt at adapting "A Wrinkle in Time" (they made a TV movie version in 2003), so even Disney knows that this is a tough nut to crack. It's clear why they want to turn this into something bigger; it's brimming with hope and positivity, but at the same time they're making this film for kids who have access to decades of episodes of "Doctor Who," a show that in its infancy was rewriting the rules of sci-fi — and therefore leaving much of what drives the plot of this story in the dust — before the Beatles released "Sgt. Pepper." "A Wrinkle in Time" is both relevant and dated at the same time. As long as the kids recognize that, it's all good.

Q: Liferay: timeout on the regeneration of the search indexes When launching the functionality of a "Rebuild all search indexes." very often the request times out, perhaps because the browser waits too long the answer.
How do I fix this? As it is I can not figure out when it ends the regeneration of the indices and if unsuccessful
Liferay 6.2

A: If your data set is pretty big regenerating the indexes can take a lot of time. There's no 'fix' for this. You could, for example, use a different Indexer, such as Solr, to remove the burden from the machine running Liferay.

A: I can always tell when it is done by running it late at night during low traffic hours and monitoring the JMX (CPU) activity and (tomcat) logs. Both will give indications when the indexing is completed with various tasks and starting new ones, but I find the JMX monitoring to be clearest. In our case, there is around 500+MB of index data on each node and it takes ~ 2.5 hours give or take. I also kick off indexing on each application node, since we have found the "cluster link" software unreliable to copy the index across cluster nodes...

What's New in Public Law
—Simon Drugda, PhD Candidate at the University of Copenhagen
In this weekly feature, I-CONnect publishes a curated reading list of developments in public law. "Developments" may include a selection of links to news, high court decisions, new or recent scholarly books and articles, and blog posts from around the public law blogosphere.
To submit relevant developments for our weekly feature on "What's New in Public Law," please email contact.iconnect@gmail.com.
Developments in Constitutional Courts
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) held that Russia committed numerous human rights violations against Sergei Magnitsky, a lawyer who died in a Moscow prison in 2009 after complaining of maltreatment.
The Thailand Ombudsman challenged swearing-in ceremony of the PM and government officials before the Constitutional Court. The Cabinet of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha failed to recite the complete oath of office, omitting the sentence: "I will also uphold and comply with the constitution of the kingdom in every aspect."
The Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered disciplinary action against a judge who convicted former PM Nawaz Sharif.
The Supreme Court of India will hear challenges to a government order revoking the autonomy of contested Kashmir. The Court also allowed an opposition politician to visit the region that has been under lockdown for weeks.
The Supreme Court of South Korea will consider whether to uphold the bribery conviction of Jay Y. Lee, a Samsung heir, in a scandal that unseated former President Park Geun-hye.
The UN Human Rights Committee found that Nepal violated Articles 7 and 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in a case of a domestic worker, who claimed that he was tortured and forced to work in Kathmandu from the age of 9.
Lawmakers in China adopted a new legislation to allow local governments to tax up to 164 resources, including fossil fuels, minerals and eventually water, at their own discretion.
The Queen of the United Kingdom approved a request by PM Boris Johnson to suspend the Parliament for almost a month in the run-up to Brexit. The attempt to suspend the Parliament has been challenged in courts.
The President of Ukraine has submitted to the Parliament several draft single-subject constitutional amendments, including a proposal to reduce the number of MPs and introduce citizens' legislative initiative. The amendments were flagged as urgent for consideration of the Parliament, which agreed to expediate the legislative process.
The Parliament of North Korea approved constitutional amendment to solidify leader Kim Jong Un's role as head of state.
A Brazilian congressional committee approved a proposed constitutional amendment to allow commercial agriculture on indigenous reserves, a practice that is currently prohibited.
Philippine lawmakers introduced legislation based loosely on a Netflix political thriller called the "Designated Survivor" to ensure the country has a president in the case of a constitutional leadership crisis.

Sleep Sort is a humourous algorithm for sorting. The idea is to output the numeric array elements after a time interval proportional to the value of the array element. So if you had an array [3, 2, 1], 3 could be output three seconds after the sort, 2 two seconds after and 1 one second after. The result is that you'd see 1, 2, 3 three seconds later.
Of course this is a terrible idea, but it's also a heck of a lot of fun!


Tarred and Glittered is a fabulous feathered neckpiece, trimmed in mink fur! This piece is a rare treasure composed of metallic cabochon stones, vintage rhinestones and a plethora of other vintage elements. This necklace is in EXCELLENT vintage condition.

It's all about the upselling after they are hooked.

The Power of "Why"
Why very well might be the most powerful word in the world. Look around; it's not hard to see that power on display.
Photo by Daiga Ellaby / Unsplash
How one word can make all the difference
Why very well might be the most powerful word in the world.
Look around; it's not hard to see that power on display.
At SpaceX, they asked why rockets couldn't be made at a fraction of the cost.
With Amazon, Jeff Bezos couldn't stop asking himself why books ( and later everything ) had to be sold in physical stores.
Lyft saw that cars sat idle most of the time and asked why there wasn't a better way to use that inventory while making the world's transportation infrastructure more effective.
Perhaps no person in modern history was more fanatical about asking why than Steve Jobs.
Jobs and Apple, by extension, were fanatical about asking why things had to be as they were. Why phones couldn't be used for more than making calls, why computers had to be beige and user-unfriendly, and why an office park couldn't be beautiful, functional and a part of the natural landscape.
All around us are the success stories that began when someone asked why and kept asking why.
So what is stopping you from asking why?
It's not happening enough
A friend of mine has been consulting for one of the world's large financial institutions. In a recent meeting with executives to understand the effectiveness of recent marketing efforts, he listened patiently to a run-down of the current campaigns. Then, when it was his turn to speak, he asked a version of why.
Why those targets? Why that spend? Why that creative? Why that messaging? Why, why, why.
Crickets.
Not one person in the room had an answer to why. So this major, world recognizable brand was basing their efforts on some mix of 'that's the way it's been done' and 'if we don't question, we won't be held accountable.'
While that may be surprising to a few of you, it's not to some of us.
Almost daily, I come across organizations content with the status quo. Happy to plod along in the direction they've always travelled because doing more would mean asking why and they either are too scared to look foolish or too afraid of what answers they may get in return.
Does this sound like the way to find wild success?
So What Can You Do
In a world of people afraid of why it's not hard to stand out and start making a difference.
This isn't an excuse to act like a petulant child, screaming why, why, why and stomping your feet until you get answers.
Start by delving deeper into the history and backstory involved in whatever initiative it is involved with.
How did it get to this point?
Where did the need for this product / solution / campaign / activation come from?
Who is the solution really for, and what are their needs?
Is there a better way to accomplish what we've been trying to do?
No, those questions don't all start with why, but they will help you get to the root of the greater why, and from there, your purpose will become much more evident.
Beyond that, but every decision through the same rigour. Ensuring that you know why you're making the decisions you are and that they match the greater why ( the purpose ) of what you're doing.
If you'd like a primer on how to do this even more effectively, might I suggest you take a read of the book "Start With Why" by Simon Sinek. A fantastic read from one of the great thinkers of our day when it comes to the motivations of why we as consumers and producers do what we do. Find more info here: https://startwithwhy.com/
3 Things Every Founder Needs to Hear
There are few environments like a startup. Unfettered optimism, manic energy, a belief in something bigger than yourself, and more often than not, no fucking idea what's coming next.
Aren't you tired of wasting your time?
Stop growth hacking. Stop trying to game the system and find shortcuts. Stop with the bullshit already.


When a family member or someone close to you is diagnosed with a serious illness, it can be a distressing, frightening and a lonely time, therefore we provide family support at St Barnabas House as part of our hospice care.
Who are the Family Services Team?

Oman says it is conducting a feasibility study on taking a 30 percent stake in a new oil refinery project in Sri Lanka.
Arab News quoted Omani Energy Minister Mohammed bin Hamad Al-Rumhy as sayin Oman Oil Co. was conducting a feasibility study regarding taking a 30 percent stake in the new oil refinery project on Sri Lanka's south coast.
The project will be Sri Lanka's first new refinery in 52 years after Iran built a 50,000 barrel-per-day refinery near the capital, Colombo, to blend Iran light oils.
Meanwhile, the Minister also said he expected global oil prices to stay in a range between $65 and $75 a barrel until the end of the year.
He was also quoted as saying Oman remained committed to the OPEC+ agreement until the end of 2019.
Under the accord reached in December 2018, members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) along with Russia and other non-OPEC producers — an alliance known as OPEC+ — agreed to reduce oil supply by 1.2 million barrels per day from Jan. 1 for six months.
The OPEC+ alliance was formed in 2017. Since its inception, oil prices have doubled to more than $60 per barrel, mainly as a result of a series of production cuts by its members. The official selling price (OSP) for Oman crude in May will rise by $2.50 to $66.98 a barrel, the highest in five months, Reuters calculations based on data from the Dubai Mercantile Exchange (DME) showed on Friday.

Annual Letters
The Fitzgerald Catalogue Raisonné embraces all types of media, including the primary ones of oil and watercolor, as well as many other media on paper: Chinese ink monochrome, gold, silver, and copper leaf, charcoal, pencil, and pen and ink. The Catalogue is primarily a web-based publication, providing a current and easily accessible resource for scholars and collectors. The goal is to publish a book with a selected catalogue of major works accompanied by a scholarly examination of the artist's work and career.
The web provides an opportunity for those interested in the work of James Fitzgerald to have access to the broad spectrum of his work not available in any hard-copy publication. It is the objective of the Legacy to make images of Fitzgerald's work, as well as other information, such as exhibitions and provenance, available as soon as it becomes known, rather than waiting for the print publication. As such, it is important to recognize that information is added and the catalogue modified as new information comes to light. Should you have information about a particular work that is not reflected in the catalogue, we would like to hear from you.

Unlocated Works
Although every effort has been made to track down the location or fate of every known work by Fitzgerald, either through the Estate records compiled by Ann Hubert, or through gallery records, sales, or catalogs and reviews of exhibitions, there remain works that have not yet been located or are unaccounted for. Some of these have been catalogued to the greatest extent possible, but often with only the briefest information. Eventually, the Fitzgerald online Catalogue Raisonné will contain a list of works with unknown locations or owners. In the meantime, if you believe that you own or know of a work by Fitzgerald and want to find out if we have a record of it, we would very much like to hear from you. Please contact us at fitzgeraldlegacy@aol.com.
Registering a work by James Fitzgerald
The Fitzgerald Catalogue Raisonné will eventually include the complete provenance of all known work created by the artist. We are equally interested in learning of current and previous owners.
Please complete our online registration form to register each Fitzgerald work(s) you own or have owned in the past. We accept submissions any type of work, and every work should be registered as a separate submission. Owners of several works and others wishing to submit forms by mail or fax and can also download a PDF version of the registration form. The Legacy is glad to provide a Letter of Authenticity for successfully documented and registered works.

Houzz did a story called One Chair, Fifteen homes: The Versatile Wishbone Chair and featured our two chairs in the article, which was a lovely thing to wake up to this morning. I have to say, after readying THIS STORY in the New York Times questioning the lasting appeal of mid century design, I had been feeling a bit blue decor-wise, since I will forever fall on the side of YES! when it comes to incorporating excellent 20th century design to my projects.

The Clontarf, an immigration clipper ship, sailed from England to New Zealand between 1858 and 1860 on commission for the Canterbury Provincial Council, the governing body of Canterbury Province. Sailing under the flag of Willis, Gann and Co, it set out on its first voyage from Plymouth on 20 September 1858, and after a journey of 105 days arrived at Lyttelton, New Zealand on 5 January 1859 with 412 immigrants. Six infants and one adult died on the journey, plus there was a still-birth.

With one successful run complete it returned to England to collect its next passengers. On 30 November 1859 the Clontarf left London with 430 people on board. This voyage met with unforgiving bad weather, and a rampant plague of measles, whooping cough and tropical diseases swept mercilessly through the ship. It arrived at Lyttelton on 16 March 1860 with many fatalities. On a normal voyage for immigration ship of that time it was expected that up to five people might die from frailty, accident or birth at sea. On the second voyage of the Clontarf 41 people died: five adults and 36 children. This would give the Clontarf her infamy. Due to her reputation, prospective immigrants chose not to sail on her, and she was officially dismissed of her duties of ferrying immigrants to New Zealand in 1861.

Notable passengers

John Acland (1823–1904), farmer and politician

Q: How can I improve speed of for loops in Google Sheets app script? I know I must use array to improve speed when use for loop but I don't understand how to do that? How can I rewrite this code?
function hiliptk() {
  //var I_INDEX = 1;
    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
  var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
  var dataValues = dataRange.getValues();
  for (var i=3; i<=98; i++) {
    var row = sheet.getRange(i, 1, 1,9);
    if (sheet.getRange(i,2).getValue()== "PTK") {
      row.setBackground("yellow");
    } else {row.setBackground("white");}
  }
}

A: This part of your code var dataValues = dataRange.getValues(); will return a 2 dimensional array containing the data in your sheets. You can use the 3rd element of each sub-array to check whether it is "PTK" or not.
Example:
function hiliptk() {
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet();
  var sheet = ss.getActiveSheet();
  var dataRange = sheet.getDataRange();
  var dataValues = dataRange.getValues();
  var rangeListYellowBG = [];
  var rangelistWhiteBG = [];

  //this loop collects the range by the value of column C
  for (var i=2; i<dataValues.length; i++){
    if(dataValues[i][2] == 'PTK'){
      //push to array rangeListYellowBG if column C is 'PTK'
      rangeListYellowBG.push("A"+parseInt(i+1)+":I"+parseInt(i+1));
    }else{
      //else push to rangelistWhiteBG
      rangelistWhiteBG.push("A"+parseInt(i+1)+":I"+parseInt(i+1));
    }
  }
  //this will change the background color of the following range to yellow [A5:I5, A8:I8, A11:I11, A12:I12]
  sheet.getRangeList(rangeListYellowBG).setBackground("yellow");
  //this will change the background color of the following range to white [A3:I3, A4:I4, A6:I6, A7:I7, A9:I9, A10:I10, A13:I13]
  sheet.getRangeList(rangelistWhiteBG).setBackground("white");
}

B.S. Guha's Studies in Social Tensions Among the Refugees from Eastern Pakistan
A psychological investigation into the Social tensions hindering Refugee Rehabilitation in Bengal after partition
Author: Dr. Arunima Bhattacharya (twitter: @arunima.1108)
[I have accessed Dr. B.S. Guha 's text from Prof. Abhijit Guha's collection and I am grateful to him for his guidance and help during my research stay in Kolkata. For Prof. Guha's publications on B.S. Guha see https://vidyasagar.academia.edu/AbhijitGuha ]
In 1954 the Indian government's Department of Anthropology published its report on the Studies in Social Tensions Among the Refugees from Eastern Pakistan. The report was the culmination of a series of conferences and meetings between the representatives of the Indian Government and UNESCO to deal with the refugee crisis in India, particularly in Bengal, following the partition of the country in 1947. Birija Shankar Guha (1894-1961) an anthropologist and the founding director of the Anthropological Survey of India was at the helm of this project. Guha had completed his doctoral research at Harvard University and returned to join the first ever department of Anthropology in the country at Calcutta University in early 1920's. Subsequently he joined the Zoological Survey as an anthropologist and was instrumental in broadening the government's ethnological research in India facilitating the establishment of the Indian Anthropological Institute at Calcutta. Guha's phenomenal career includes executive stints as the Secretary of the Asiatic Society and the National Institute of Sciences of India, finally securing the establishment of the Anthropological Survey of India in 1946. He was the Survey's founding director and the Anthropological advisor to the government until his sudden demise in 1961. In his advisory role it was part of his responsibility to apply anthropological research to the formation of the independent Indian nation that was struggling to recover from successive waves of refugee migration caused by the partition. In his capacity as the Director of the Anthropological Survey Guha proposed that the most effective contribution that could be made by the anthropological department was to look into the conditions of refugees from Eastern Pakistan and their relations and attitude towards the Indian government and local residents, in order to be successfully rehabilitated.
All refugees in both camps were Hindus who were forced to give up claims on their ancestral land and livelihood in the wake of communal tension in East Pakistan.
Guha organised a multidisciplinary team of researchers to investigate the causes of social tension that were preventing integration of refugees into the social fabric of Bengal. He selected two refugee colonies for the study: Jirat, a refugee settlement managed and funded by the West Bengal Government in the sub-urban district of Hooghly, and Azadgarh colony near Jadavpur in south Calcutta which was established by displaced people on illegally occupied land and developed and administered by elected ward committees from among the refugees themselves. The economic and social composition of these two places varied significantly. The people at the Jirat settlement had come to India after the communal riots and had lost most of their property and belongings along the way with very little to invest in building a new life in a new country. They had made their way to Jirat after being stationed at various government relief camps and were completely at the mercy of official relief measures which by government's own admission were inadequate and unreliable. The people at Azadgarh were early refugees who had not borne the worst brunt of the communal conflicts. They had the means and organisational skills to acquire land and administer their own community protecting it against violent onslaughts from landowners and government officials who wanted to evict them under the Rehabilitation Law. All refugees in both camps were Hindus who were forced to give up claims on their ancestral land and livelihood in the wake of communal tension in East Pakistan. The study opted for random sampling from among the refugees at both the camps and divided them according to caste and gender for analytical purposes.
The surveyors of this project—as government officials—were perceived as a threat in both these settlements. The refugees at Jirat suspected the project to be a covert means of assessing their needs and feared that whatever help they were receiving from the government was going to be curtailed if they answered the questions posed to them. To resolve this the project officials adopted affective means of social bonding, emphasising the scientific basis of the project in ways that would be comprehensible to their subjects and inviting feedback as a means of building trust. However, a turn in relations came with the patronage of Shayma Parasad Mukherjee - a Hindutva icon and founder of the Bhartiya Jana Sangh, later to become the Bhartiya Janta Party. Mukherjee's work for alleviating the conditions of the refugees was praised by the project officials. Religion was central to Mukherjee's political solidarity with the refugees and their grievances against the Muslims of Eastern Pakistan who were primarily held responsible for their displacement. Situating this project as an objective scientific enquiry was also a chief means of mitigating the hostile stance at Azadgarh. However, having illegally occupied the land on which the settlement was built at Azadgarh the inhabitants were pacified with the promise that the findings would assist their claims to the land.
It was inferred by the project that the communal tension linked to their trauma of loss and displacement was displaced by emotions of antagonism against the Indian government and its people.
The intent of this project in using the psychological construct of social tension was to infer the causative factors that induced the instabilities in the psychology of the subjects as revealed through their life histories—within this construct, the project recorded allegations made by the refugees against Muslims from East Pakistan, against whom they were helpless. It was inferred by the project that the communal tension linked to their trauma of loss and displacement was displaced by emotions of antagonism against the Indian government and its people. However, the study meticulously documented government's neglect in providing aid in Jirat and the corruption of local officials, which tended to counter this theory of displaced frustration as the only reason for tensions with the government. To complicate things further, the report inferred that participants were restrained in their articulation of communal hatred as they feared being critical of and offending the secular stance of the Indian government.
The report interpreted the trauma suffered by the refuges as a deprivation of opportunities of 'self-actualisation' and 'self-attainment' (terms used in the report). Therefore, a sympathetic attitude from the government that engages with them and satisfies their 'ego-needs' (term used in the report), i.e. acknowledges their right to self-determination would help them realise self-worth and a sense of belonging and help contribute positively to the community. The Azadgargh colony, in a sense, was an experiment in community-motivated social cohesion. The self-administration of the colony through elected representatives fostered group morale and community feeling generating a sense of belonging and optimism. Azadgarh was not plagued by the regressive pessimism and naïve dependence on the government witnessed at Jirat. However, the investigators came across a different problem here. The social cohesion and political solidarity were exposed to be too fragile, a case in point being the factions that developed in support of and against the work of the project officials at Azadgarh.
After the initial activity of founding the Azadgarh colony was over, there remained a pressing anxiety regarding the Rehabilitation Bill generating frustration against the government. This anxiety, the project officials argue, was expressed in intra-group and intra-family conflicts within the settlement which in turn disturbed the possibilities of building morale under a strong leadership. The project officials believed that Azadgarh could be integrated within the national fold and the hostile relations with the Indian government made productive if the government would relieve anxieties about eviction and assure them of genuine and rapid help in establishing their ownership of the land on which the settlement was built. This could only be achieved through transparent communication of Government policies of rehabilitation while alerting the inhabitants of Azadgarh to the problems faced by the Indian government in managing the large influx of refugees. Reflecting back on the definition of social tension as a psychological field, Dr. Uma Guha (in charge of collecting Life History materials) insisted that this would facilitate the refugee subject's ego-involvement and identification with the government activities and attitudes, easing tension against government and initiating constructive work.
What remained unaccounted for in the project's analysis was the deep-seated trauma of being evicted from ancestral land and familial environment in Eastern Pakistan
The book squarely interprets the societal tensions generated by the refugees as misplaced aggression, resulting from thwarted expectations of support and acceptance in India. Guha and this team insisted that this rejection of peaceful integration is what fuelled their independent and illegal occupation of land and aggression towards governmental discipline at Azadgarh. However, like the regression of the Jirat refugees to an infantile state of dependence, the social aggression of the refugees from Azadgarh was ultimately diagnosed a state of helplessness in their 'subliminal consciousness'. What remained unaccounted for in the project's analysis was the deep-seated trauma of being evicted from ancestral land and familial environment in Eastern Pakistan. Confessions of personal loss during the communal strife that took away land and hence a sense of being was included in the life history sections but not really connected or evaluated in the way the resolution of social tensions was imagined in this report. The residual communal tension was, by the admission of the surveyors, sparingly articulated given the secular approach of the Indian Government. All social tensions including the residual communal hatred was expected to be set aside when the refugee subject was integrated into the body politic of the Indian nation state and its secular ideals. The report lacked any suggestion towards memorialising this trauma in ways that might make the articulation of the loss of ancestral land and poitrik bari (ancestral home) possible within the social integration processes. By arguing that such impulses were displaced and therefore expunged through tensional attitudes towards the Indian government and the local people, the report helped to impose a cultural repression of trauma that has made the future state of West Bengal vulnerable to sudden violent returns of this feeling of loss in the form of communal hatred.

LawPay is an approved Member Benefit of 48 state bars, trusted by 50,000 lawyers, powers payments for more than 30 industry-leading software products, and is the only payment solution offered through the ABA Advantage program.
Kommentare: Overall my experience with LawPay has been great.
Vorteile: LawPay is very easy to use, I always just use the QuickBill feature which allows me to quickly email a bill to a client. I can resend the bill and edit it afterwards if needed. My law firm is fully digital, so LawPay is great, I never send out paper bills. It also is great for complying with ethical rules related to trust accounts and credit card billing - almost all of my credit card bills are processed for up front payments into trust.
Nachteile: They have not yet switched to paperless monthly statements, so those come in the mail. I'd prefer paperless. Also, if you process a payment and issue a refund the same day, it will simply show up as a single transaction for the sum of the two - this complicates accounting, for me, in QuickBooks, which cannot handle a deposit and a withdrawal from an account in a single transaction. The complication is that when I do reconciliation in QuickBooks my bank account always shows a transaction I have to remember to ignore because I had to record it as two transactions.
The Mercedes of Law Payments, perfect for complying with ethics rulings.
Kommentare: Allowing more options for clients to pay by. I do think different areas of law will vary greatly on the return of investment for this service.
Vorteile: Not all clients are able to pull money straight out of a bank or get a loan. It gives my clients another option for payment. It's nice being able to tell them all their choices for payments. It makes my clients ease of use for my services better. The reader works well with older gen phones as I have. Payments are processed swiftly and are available with fees already deducted.
Nachteile: The fees for this service are really something you need to take into account. My payment is monthly, and for every transaction, some percent of fee taken out, along with all the card fees charged by the issuer. This can make this service quite expensive to use. Also I really don't get many clients who even use it, maybe one every few months. So the fee goes to waste a lot. But, with all that being said, I wouldn't get rid of it. The reason solely being to allow my clients to have the most options for payments.


Today, only 1% of the world's more than 65 million refugees attend university, compared to the global average of 34%. However, the need for higher education is especially acute in places of conflict, where it is crucial in rebuilding societies and maintaining stability.
PEER is a global resource that connects refugee and displaced students to scholarships, language and online learning, and other educational resources. Due to the devastating impact of the Syrian conflict, PEER focused on the needs of Syrian university-aged students in year one. In its second year, PEER will expand to include information on education opportunities for students from other countries impacted by crises.

Akpatokön är en av Kanadas arktiska öar i territoriet Nunavut. Det är den största ön (903 km²) i Ungavabukten vid Québecs nordkust. Ön har fått sin namn efter Akpat, dvs spetsbergsgrisslan som lever klipphyllorna som kantar ön.

Ön består till större delen av kalksten och dess kuster består av branta klippor som reser sig 150–200 meter över havet. Här och där är dessa klippor genombrutna av raviner genom vilka man kan nå platån i öns inre. Platån är 23 km bred och 45 km lång.

I öns södra ände finns arkeologiska lämningar efter bosättning från dorsetkulturen.
