(CNN) Around 1.2 million people, including 540,000 children, have been impacted by the 7.2-magnitude earthquake which struck southwestern Haiti on Saturday morning, according to UNICEF.
The quake left at least 1,941 people dead and more than 6,900 injured; that toll is expected to rise in the coming days, but search and rescue efforts are being hampered by a lack of resources and by heavy rains, which have caused mudslides that blocked roads in the region.
Tropical Storm Grace , which hit the same region late Monday "is further disrupting access to water, shelter, and other basic services," UNICEF said in a statement Tuesday. "Flooding and mudslides are likely to worsen the situation of vulnerable families and further complicate the humanitarian response."
On Tuesday, donor countries and humanitarian organizations increased efforts to help the country. The Pentagon announced it had formed a joint task force to assist USAID in disaster relief efforts, while the United Nation and the European Union allocated $8 million and $3.5 million respectively in aid to Haiti.

Bruno Maes, UNICEF's representative in Haiti, said he had witnessed strong winds and heavy rainfall in the area affected by the earthquake.
"Countless Haitian families who have lost everything due to the earthquake are now living literally with their feet in the water due to the flooding," he said. The agency is distributing tarpaulins, latrines, showers, water reservoirs and hygiene kits as part of a joint effort with partners, it said. There are no rainfall reports or radar observation data available out of Haiti, but CNN meteorologists estimate that roughly 2-4 inches (60-100 millimeters) of rain has fallen over the period from 11 a.m. EDT Monday to 11 a.m. EDT Tuesday, based on estimates from a NOAA satellite. Satellite imagery continues to show thunderstorms impacting western parts of Haiti, said CNN senior meteorologist Dave Hennen. Rain will likely continue over the quake zone until late afternoon or evening Tuesday, he added. Heavy rainfall is complicating recovery efforts. {"@context": "http://schema.org","@type": "ImageObject","name": "Heavy rainfall is complicating recovery efforts.","description": "Heavy rainfall is complicating recovery efforts.","url": "//cdn.cnn.com/cnnnext/dam/assets/210817043748-09-haiti-earthquake-0816-ts-grace-large-169.jpg"} Haiti is prone to mudslides due to the topography of the island -- the country is home to mountains more than 10,000 feet tall -- and years of deforestation that has created an ecological disaster, said CNN meteorologist Michael Guy. Some 42 of the country's 50 highest mountain peaks are completely devoid of vegetation, and only 1% of Haiti's primary forest remains, he added. The soil has also been destabilized by the recent earthquake and the aftershocks that followed. Add heavy rain over a very short period of time and you have the recipe for dangerous, even life-threatening mudslides, Guy said. Aftershocks and mudslides have obstructed the roads between the cities of Les Cayes and Jeremie, with repairs underway. Grace restrengthens into a tropical storm as it threatens the Caribbean with flooding and mudslides Saturday's quake destroyed and damaged tens of thousands of homes, according to the civil protection agency. It also blocked roads and wrecked infrastructure, making it difficult for vital supplies to reach the affected areas. Local hospitals have told CNN that they are inundated with victims, and desperately in need of medical supplies. Pentagon press secretary John Kirby said on Tuesday that US relief efforts were focused on "getting a clear picture of what the situation looks like on the ground... so that we can best coordinate and integrate USAID and other agency assistance to the people of Haiti." Kirby added that four field hospitals from US Southern Command would be set up in southern Haiti later this week. Sarah Charles, assistant to the administrator of USAID's Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance, told reporters on Tuesday that its response team to Haiti included 38 disaster experts, as well as 65 search and rescue members and four canines from the Fairfax County Fire Department's Urban Search and Rescue team -- who arrived in Haiti on Sunday. Thousands of pounds of specialized equipment and medical supplies have also been deployed, along with food and hygiene relief supplies, she added. The earthquake is just the latest challenge for the struggling country, which was shaken in 2010 by a disastrous 7.0-magnitude quake that killed an estimated 220,000 to 300,000 people. Charles noted that they do not currently expect the current death toll to reach as high this time, although it's likely "that number will climb in the coming days." "There are, though, significant humanitarian needs, and we're doing everything we can to respond and respond at scale to those needs," Charles said. The earthquake struck at 8:30 a.m. local time on Saturday, at a depth of about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles); its epicenter was about 12 kilometers (7.5 miles) northeast of Saint-Louis-du-Sud in the southwest part of the country.

5 Places to Meet Sexy Girls in Santo Domingo

The Dominican Republic can be a bit polarizing to some, and for more than a few reasons. Whether it's the atmosphere and surroundings, the women, or the island itself, there seems to be a lot of differing opinions out there. But that's what's great about the Dominican – it's truly a different place, and it has a lot to offer that you can't find anywhere else. Good and bad.

Mexico has always been a prime destination for mongering thanks to its large selection of cities to visit.

If you're looking into countries to visit for mongering in South America, countries such as Brazil are often among the most popular. But one country is creeping up the list towards the top, and it's one that many people don't initially think of, perhaps for obvious reasons.

Some of you reading this article might be thinking that "I'm already cultural and/or linguistically diverse" and that may be true from whatever or where ever your family background may include. But speaking from experience, nothing quite prepares you for when a child and their family comes into your office, clinic, hospital or school seeking therapeutic services and some of the following scenarios come into play: (1) they don't look and/or sound like you, (2) they may even not share the same native language as you, (3) something that you did or could do might invalidate an evaluation performance/score or insult a student or family member (i.e., depending on the client's culture — asking a direct question, looking/staring directly into a client's eyes during testing, developing a treatment plan that goes against traditional cultural values, etc.). What would you do then?
Besides Mainstream American English (i.e., there are 10 major dialects of MAE), other common dialects of American English that SLPs typically encounter are: African American English (AAE), Spanish-Influenced English, English Influenced by Asian languages. Also, be aware of some misconceptions about dialects. For instance, only specific dialects are spoken by certain populations ONLY (AAE is spoken by African Americans, Spanish-Influenced English is spoken by Hispanic/Latino speakers, etc.), standardized tests are the ONLY and most accurate form of assessment for dialectal speakers (many standardized tests of morphosyntactic skill are biased against some dialects), and so on.
What's a language difference versus language learning disability/disorder?
Typically, the rule of thumb has been: (1) if the child has a disorder in BOTH languages (L1 – native and L2 – 2nd language) then that child has a communication (language and/or speech) disorder or (2) if the child's native language skills are fine, but has difficulty in acquiring their 2nd language – this student is not language or speech impaired and may benefit from other services, such as bilingual education.
Be wary of standardized tests!
You're probably thinking, "but they're so convenient for a busy school SLP." Trust me, I know the struggle. However, standardized tests have historically been known for carrying hidden bias's when used to evaluate CLD populations – primarily because most of these tests did grow out of the framework of including many if any CLD populations. If you do administer a standardized test when assessing the CLD population – consider some of the following: test beyond the ceiling, omit biased items that the client will probably miss, give extra examples, rephrase confusing directions, and so on.
Conduct a comprehensive assessment to include, obtaining a thorough case history, use narratives, observe in a naturalistic environment, if possible; use language samples, collect student works in portfolio method of assessment, and/or a dynamic approach to assessment (test-teach-retest over an extended period, if possible).
Ultimately, a bilingual and/or bidialectal approach in remediating both the primary and secondary language/dialect is ideal and effective for CLD populations. Yet, that approach may not be ideal in all situations.
For students: if CLD students qualify for speech-language services in the schools: considering some of the following service delivery options: placement in a regular bilingual or ESL classroom with support from special education principles (i.e., traditional pull-out support in English), consultative or collaborative with push-in support with the general education teacher, bilingual teacher aid, etc.


The Alabama Lovesnakes are a blast! "Nasty Weather" opens with "Early In The Morning" (Live), and gets a real nice groove going. Lead by "Crocodile" Claes Nilsson on vocal and guitar, these guys really know how to rock. There's some great SRV based riffs taken in a new direction that are bound to get the attention of guitar players and fans. Crocodile is relentless at the fretboard (he can really show his blues chops) and has real taste and style, as well as, a super singing voice. Some of the best music comes without a major label. "Nasty Weather" is strong testimony that really great music is out there, just waiting to be discovered. Now this isn't down and dirty, delta, stripped down blues, but it is great blues rock.

Triple-digit temperatures expected in LA-area heat wave
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Valley and desert areas could see triple-digit temperatures as Southern California's first major heat wave of the season revs up.
Heavy clouds blanketing Southern California will give way to sunny skies, ushering in hot and dry conditions and an increased wildfire risk.
The National Weather Service said Thursday temperatures could spike into the 90s around Los Angeles and even top 100 in inland areas. The heat wave is expected to peak Friday.
Forecasters say humidity levels could drop as low as 6 percent. The dry conditions accompanied by gusty winds could bring elevated fire danger, especially in mountains and interior valleys.
Along the coast, a high surf advisory is in effect until 10 p.m. Thursday, with surf topping 7 feet in some areas.

Boonville Lift Station Failure Results in Wastewater Leak
7 years 9 months 3 weeks ago Thursday, September 22 2011 Sep 22, 2011 Thursday, September 22, 2011 3:16:00 PM CDT September 22, 2011 in News
By: Megan Johnson
JEFFERSON CITY - The Department of Natural Resources is investigating the cleanup from an estimated 400,000 gallons of wastewater into a Boonville stream, after Boonville city officials discovered the release of wastewater from manholes.
The wastewater leak happened near Lift Station #2, located on Water Street, on September 21.
City officials noticed the flow to the wastewater treatment plant was significantly lower than normal. Based on the amount of wastewater received at the treatment plant during that time, officials believe that approximately 400,000 gallons flowed from the lift station into Rames Branch. Boonville city officials believe the bypass was caused by an electrical system failure at the lift station.
An investigator from the DNR has sampled water and also discovered a fish kill in Rames Branch approximately 250 yards from the Missouri River. The bypass appeared to affect Rames Branch from the Missouri River back to Morgan Street, south of Water Street. The Missouri Department of Conservation has been called in to document the extent of the fish kill.
The Department of Natural Resources will use the investigator's findings in addition to the city's incident report to determine if enforcement action will be taken.
The city has posted warning signs and crews have begun a cleanup by placing lime in the ground in the affected areas around manholes that were believed to have overflowed. The creek may also be pumped in the to remove the wastewater.

Seniors Minister Tracey Martin opened a consultation to a new strategy that is going to "help older New Zealanders live well".
The draft strategy, Better Later Life - He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034, has been designed to ensure New Zealand is prepared for and makes the most of our aging population.
"Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population," she said.
"That's great news in that most of us are living longer, healthier lives than ever before. But also means there are some things we have to consider and prepare for as a country."
The submission closes on 3 June, and the officials will finalise the strategy and an action plan for launch later this year.


The study investigated the knowledge of information literacy and search skills of students in five selected private universities in Ogun state, Nigeria. It also examined students' ability to distinguish diverse information sources as well as assess the effectiveness of information literacy programmes of private universities. The sample consists of 359 respondents drawn proportionately from a population of 400 from the selected universities. Descriptive survey method was used to elicit data through the Monash University Library Questionnaire on Information Literacy in this study. The data collected were analyzed using simple percentages. It was found that preponderance of respondents have low knowledge of information literacy skills, showed high deficiency in identifying diverse information sources and the various information literacy programmes of the respondents' institutions lacked hands-on. The study concluded that sound information literacy skills is a desideratum in knowledge acquisition in the twenty-first century and recommended inter alia; that information literacy skills be integrated into the secondary and tertiary schools' curricula. Thus, the need for an enhanced and continuous library user education geared towards empowering students to be sufficiently familiar with information sources, mutual collaboration between teachers and librarians to ensure integrated mode of lecture delivery, constant advocacy and sensitization outreaches.

I like the way this book is divided into sections, it's easy to read format, and that it is written as lessons about how to understand someone on the autism spectrum.
It is informative, instructive, concise and to the point. I would recommend this to anyone needing to quickly and easily learn about Asperger's Syndrome and how it affects the female individual.

The Drury Lane bridge will get repaired if Council lives up to what it passed at Committee. But it will be just a five year patch.
By Pepper Parr
BURLINGTON, ON February 9, 2012 It looks as if the Glenwood School Drive community is going to get some relief for the bridge that has yet to fall down – but they had to fight for every yard they gained in the battle with their city council.
No longer safe for the public to use the Drury Lane pedestrian Bridge was closed in November. Estimate is that $2 million will be needed to re-build and $380,000 to put on a five year patch.
The bridge that crosses the GO train tracks at Drury Lane was closed very suddenly last November 25th. An inspection of the structure, that was first put up in 1972 and modified and repaired a number of times since then, was found to be unsafe.
Suddenly a community that is basically landlocked, found that it had to take trips that required 55 minutes as opposed to the normal 20 minutes. Parents found they could not get their kids to school on time. Most of all – they missed standing in the middle of the bridge that crossed the tracks and watching the trains pass beneath them and hearing the engineer blow the train whistle. For many it was almost a "right of passage".
A community that used to have a way out to commercial Fairview and south to the commercial core was suddenly floundering to figure out how they were going to get around and, more significantly, how they were going to deal with a city council that seemed to have forgotten all about them.
Six month before that same city council stuffed an additional 54 housing units into six lots that previously held six houses. They weren't listened to then and they were afraid they were not going to be listened to this time either. They had no idea what to do. They used all the old time tactics – put together a petition that had 240 names on it – from a community with 400 homes. They held a community meeting, called people at city hall and met with their ward Councillor.
They gave the petition to their ward Councillor and neglected to keep a copy for themselves and had nothing to follow up with when they realized it was going to take more than a petition to get their bridge fixed.
Due to the nature of the issue a matter that goes to committee first was referred to Council rather than discussed at much length at the committee stage – There was no community input at the first Committee meting. The community showed up for the Council meeting a few weeks later only to be told that it was going to be sent back to Committee so that some of the ideas that had come to the surface could be resolved. At this point the city was looking at the creation of some paths that would make use of the GO train tunnels under the train tracks; but that didn't pan out – so the city was looking at replacing a bridge that they felt not very many people used and they didn't like the look of the $2 million + price tag they were staring in the face.
And that's what happened Wednesday evening – when 60 residents filled the Council chamber and nine residents delegated to council committee. The Council members got an earful from a community that may have been seen as not fully prepared but this time they had their ducks lined up and they weren't taking a no for an answer.
Unfortunately a number of things happened before the residents got to have their say. For some reason, the order in which delegations were to be heard got mixed up; add to that the meeting was chaired by an inexperienced Council member and managed by a Clerk that didn't seem to know how to advise her Chair.
Child of a Queensway community parent waits patiently for their turn at the delegation podium. City Manager Jeff Fielding chose to sit in the public gallery and watch his staff handle the meeting.
Dysfunction was made to look acceptable when a Council member went on and on, and on and on some more about accepting the Cycling Master Plan, technical data on the width of lanes and the separation of bicycle lanes and traffic counts. Ward 5 Councillor Sharman, who can be very biting when he chooses did ask for the forbearance of his fellow Council members as he asked question after question of staff who struggled to find answers.
Meanwhile sixty adults, many with school age children on their laps waited, and waited for Councillor Sharman to end his questioning of staff on a subject few in the public gallery came to hear about. As Sharman droned on, several members of Council, three by my count, were thumbing through the Procedural Manual; perhaps looking for a way to bring this farce session to an end.
An enlightened chair could have and should have shifted the order of the agenda and moved the sixty residents with their nine delegations forward. To make it all even more dismaying – after the delegations were given staff then gave a report setting out what the options were for the bridge problem. The residents would have liked to have heard those options before they delegated.
It got worse. After hearing some very sensible comments made during the delegations when everyone thought they were done one parent stood and asked when her children and their Dad were going to speak. The delegation list had failed to include the children so they didn't come forward when their Mother did. The chair wasn't quite sure she wanted to entertain yet another speaker and the result of that gaffe was a pre-teen child in tears because she felt she wasn't going to get her chance to be heard.
It wasn't over yet either. One delegate was delivering a fine series of statements and was then told that her time was up. Each delegate has ten minutes at committee. Lisa Hayes turned away from the podium after telling the chair there was something wrong with her clock. Hayes was correct – she got cut off at the six and a half minute point of her delegation.
It didn't get much better when it got to questions of Council members to staff and then comments from Council members. It had become clear at this point that Council had been swayed by the comments from the community – they were going to have to do something.
The two options that would have the residents walking some distance to use the GO tunnels underneath the railway tracks were not going to work but that the first step of repairing the bridge and re-opening it at a cost of $380,000 was going to be what got through the Committee meeting. The cost of the repairs aren't going to put much of a dent in the city budget – the funds used will come from savings at the Brant/Fairview upgrade.
The Drury Lane bridge spans the GO train tracks and has been the location where local residents stand and wave to the trains passing beneath.
But Council still kept moaning about this "unexpected cost" and for a time didn't appear prepared to spend any money on this community. The replacing the bridge option was estimated to cost something in excess of $2 million while the underpass was estimated to cost about $1.5 million – appreciate that these numbers were all back of the envelope stuff.
The 240 residents that signed the petition and the 60 people in the Council chamber along with the nine delegations now knew that if you want to win at city hall – you pack the Council chamber and you make yourselves heard – and you watch the clock to ensure you get your full ten minutes.
Next step for this community is to make sure they are a part of the design of whatever Council decides to do – re-build the bridge or put in a tunnel.
For the record what staff put forward will have the bridge back in operation this summer and give the city a five year time frame to figure out what to do next for a community that depends on the bridge.

BURNING FLOWERS, BURNING DREAMS
CONSEQUENCES OF SUICIDE BOMBINGS
ON CIVILIANS IN ISRAEL 2000-2005
THE PATH TOWARDS SUICIDAL TERROR
1.1 ORIGINS OF SUICIDE BOMBING | 1.2 SUICIDE ATTACKS IN ISRAEL 1994-1999 – INCREASING CIVILIAN CASUALTIES | 1.3 USE OF SUICIDE BOMBING AND OTHER LETHAL WEAPONS AGAINST CIVILIAN TARGETS | 1.4 CHANGING VIEWS ON SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR
Where did the practice of using 'human bombs' originate? Over the past thirty years, how has suicide bombing been used, and by whom? When did civilians become the strategic targets of the bombers? What are some current views on suicidal behavior? This chapter takes a brief look at these questions.
1.1 ORIGINS OF SUICIDE BOMBING
Before 1983, there were few suicide bombings. The Koran, according to some authorities, forbids the taking of one's own life, and this prohibition was generally observed. However, when the United States stationed marines in Beirut, the leaders of the Islamic resistance movement Hizbollah resorted to using suicide bombing as a weapon. After religious authorities in Iran gave it their blessing, a wave of suicide bombings began with attacks which killed about 60 US embassy workers in April 1983. In October 1983, a water delivery truck laden with plastic explosives was rammed into the US Marine barracks in Beirut. Two hundred and forty-one service personnel were killed. The Americans later withdrew from Lebanon.
A recent book traces the origins of suicide bombing to a rebellious Imam and his 72 companions who were slaughtered in Karbala, Iraq by the Caliph's troops almost 1200 years ago. In the Iran-Iraq war, Ayatollah Khomeini rounded up children by the tens of thousands and sent them in human waves "racing across minefields with the keys of Paradise tied around their necks" (Reuters 2004). This example had seismic effects, starting with Hizbollah's quest to market martyrdom in Lebanon. "Hizbollah is depicted as the necessary link between Karbala and subsequent suicide bombings, including those perpetrated by the Palestinians. It was Hizbollah that developed a generalized Arabic language for martyrdom, distinguishing between those who sacrifice their lives in operations and those who simply die at the hand of the enemy" (Argo 2004).
Another early employer of suicide bombing was Islamic Jihad, whose military wing dates from 1992, "when the martyrs of Mahmud al-Khanaja established an organized military agency to replace the different unorganized individual groups" (Human Rights Watch 2002). In January 1995, a suicide attack killed 20 Israeli soldiers at the Beit Lyd junction near Netanya on the Mediterranean coast north of Tel Aviv. In 2000, the year Israel withdrew from Lebanon, Hizbollah carried out 51 suicide attacks (Avishai 2003). During this period, it was military and security personnel who were targeted, not civilians. Suicide bombing as a strategic weapon to achieve political objectives grew in inverse ratio to its condemnation.
UNCONVENTIONAL MEANS TO ACHIEVE POLITICAL GOALS
Suicide bombings have been used around the world to advance political goals, such as by the Tamil
separatist group in Sri Lanka commonly known as 'Tamil Tigers', who carried out suicide bombings in the 1980s and 1990s aimed at military and civilian targets, including Sri Lankan government officials and politicians (Human Rights Watch 2002).
Throughout the twentieth century, the taboo on targeting and killing civilians was eroding. In World War I, only 5% of casualties were civilians. In World War II, the figure went up to 50%, and in the Vietnam War it was 90% (Avishai 2003). During the nineties, suicide bombing and suicide attacks were employed as a strategy of choice against civilian targets in Chechnya and Russia, as in the Moscow theatre siege. This strategy reached a peak with the targeting of the Twin Towers in New York in the 9/11 attack in 2001.
Within recent years, suicide bombers have attacked civilian targets in Spain, England, India, Turkey, Morocco, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iraq, suicide bombings and suicide attacks have become almost daily tragedies. The escalation of suicide bombing, from the eighties until the present time, has left a massive trail of slaughtered and wounded civilians in many places around the world. In Israel, the motivation behind suicide attacks appears to be to use unconventional means to achieve maximum casualties and to create a balance of fear that would offset the perceived Israeli conventional military advantage.
1.2 SUICIDE ATTACKS IN ISRAEL 1994-1999 – INCREASING CIVILIAN CASUALTIES
On 6 April 1994, eight people were killed in a Hamas car bomb attack on a bus in the center of the northern town of Afula. Seven days later, five people were killed in another Hamas suicide bombing attack in the central bus station of the northern coastal town of Hadera. Twenty-one Israelis and a Dutch national were killed in a suicide bombing attack on a bus in Dizengoff Street, Tel Aviv, on 19 October 1994.
In January 1995, two consecutive bombs exploded at the Beit Lyd junction near Netanya, killing 18 soldiers and one civilian. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility. On 9 April 1995, seven Israelis and one American were killed in an Islamic Jihad attack when a bus was hit by an explosives-laden car near Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip. On 24 July 1995, six civilians were killed in a suicide attack on a bus in Ramat Gan.
On 21 August 1995, a suicide bombing killed three Israelis and one American on a public bus in Jerusalem. On 25 February 1996, a Hamas suicide bombing near the central bus station in Jerusalem killed 16 civilians and 9 soldiers, and wounded 100 people. Also in February, a civilian was killed by a Hamas suicide bomber at a hitchhiking post near the port of Ashkelon.
On 3 March 1996, another suicide bus bomber in Jerusalem killed 16 civilians and 3 soldiers. In Tel Aviv on 4 March 1996, a suicide bomber detonated a 20-kilogram bomb in the Dizengoff shopping mall, killing 12 civilians and one soldier. The next target was a Tel Aviv cafe on 21 March 1997, where a suicide bomber killed three people and wounded 48.
The appetite for killing and wounding civilians continued to grow. On 30 July 1997, a double suicide bombing in the Mahane Yehuda market in Jerusalem killed 16 people and wounded 178. Only five weeks later, there were three suicide bombings on the Ben Yehuda pedestrian mall in Jerusalem, in which five people died and 181 were wounded. On 29 October 1998, a soldier died when a terrorist drove an explosives-laded car into an Israeli army jeep escorting a bus with 40 elementary schoolchildren aboard in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas and Islamic Jihad had carried out suicide bombings against Israeli targets in the mid-1990s as part of their opposition to the Oslo Accords and to the Palestinian Authority (PA). At that time the PA had clamped down, arresting some 1,200 leaders and activists, and the bombings ceased. Some of those detained were held for long periods without charge or trial. However, the PA reportedly freed those who remained in detention soon after the beginning of the Second Intifada in September 2000.
Between September 1993 and the outbreak of the clashes between Palestinians and Israelis in late September 2000, Palestinian groups carried out fourteen suicide bombing attacks against Israeli civilians, mostly in 1996-97, killing more than 120 and wounding over 550 (Human Rights Watch, 2002).
In 1999 and 2000 there were no suicide bombing attacks against Israeli civilians. Looking back, that period seems to have been an era of lost opportunities and increasing complexities, with the ill-fated Camp David talks, the assassination of Rabin, the global millennium euphoria, the papal visit to Israel, and then the Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000. On 26 October 2000, an Islamic law student rammed his bicycle into an IDF outpost near Gush Katif, blowing himself up and lightly wounding a soldier. The era of the 'human bombs' rapidly gathered momentum.
'QUANTITATIVE AND SUCCESSFUL ACTIVITIES'
On 1 January 2001, a Hamas suicide bomber blew himself up at a crowded bus station in the coastal town of Netanya, wounding at least 20 civilians. Islamic Jihad resumed suicide attacks against civilians shortly afterwards. Between May 2001 and July 2002, Islamic Jihad carried out at least 10 suicide bombing attacks that targeted civilians, or in circumstances where it was impossible to distinguish between civilians and legitimate military targets. At least 28 civilians were killed in those attacks and around 326 wounded.
On 27 January 2002, a female Fatah bomber in Jerusalem's Jaffa Road carried out a suicide bombing which killed one civilian and wounded over 150. Another group, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) carried out a suicide bombing on 7 March 2002, in a hotel lobby on the outskirts of the West Bank town of Ariel, in which 15 people were wounded. These groups, together with Islamic Jihad, continued to attack civilians repeatedly (information from Palestinian intelligence documents made public by the IDF in 2002).
Ramdan Shalah, Islamic Jihad's founding member, stated in May 2002, "We have already made many offers to reconsider our policy of targeting Israeli civilians inside Israel proper in exchange for Israel reversing its policy of killing Palestinians" (Hamadi 2002). But, in a speech in Tehran a few weeks later, he reaffirmed the groups were "to continue the campaign of suicide bombing".
In 2002, Human Rights Watch quoted the Head of General Intelligence Services of the Palestinian Authority in Tulkarm as saying that they (referring to a group of armed militants) may have been responsible for such "quantitative and successful activities'. This was an allusion to the suicide shooting attack at a Bar Mitzvah celebration in Hadera on 17 January 2002, in which six civilians were killed and thirty wounded. (Two survivors are interviewed in this report.)
Between 1 January 2001 and 31 August 2002, there were forty-eight suicide bombing attacks against Israeli civilians carried out by armed Palestinian groups. Thirty-eight of those were carried out in Israel, including West Jerusalem, and ten were carried out in the West Bank and Gaza, including East Jerusalem (Human Rights Watch 2002). The 'quantitative and successful' activities of the bombers continued to take an increasing toll on Israeli civilians, the primary targets of their lethal activities. (Chapter Two profiles the pattern of suicide bombings and attacks in Israel from September 2000 to February 2005.)
1.3 USE OF SUICIDE BOMBING AND OTHER LETHAL WEAPONS AGAINST CIVILIAN TARGETS
The death toll among civilians caught up in conflict worldwide has been steadily escalating. "The Twentieth Century (was) one of the most violent periods in human history. An estimated 191 million people lost their lives directly or indirectly as a result of conflict, and well over half of them were civilians" (WHO 2002).
In the mid nineties, it was observed that "Records of death and injury are poor in many parts of the world and record-keeping is often disrupted in times of conflict... Moreover, there are many reasons why parties to a conflict may try to hide or manipulate evidence of the death and destruction they have caused. Besides the many thousands killed each year in violent conflicts, there are huge numbers who are injured as a result, including some who are permanently disabled. Data on conflict-related disabilities are scarce...more than 30 years of armed conflict in Ethiopia, for instance, led to some one million deaths, around half of them civilians.. .in Cambodia, 36,000 people – that is one person in every 236 of the population – have lost a limb after accidentally detonating a landmine" (Stover et al. 1994).
"The trend has been toward a greater proportion of injuries from powerful explosive devices such as artillery shells and mines...New approaches are needed to minimize trauma to civilians...Trauma is the most important public health risk in wartime. Most preventive efforts have addressed the political (aspects) of armed conflicts and the secondary effects of war (food, water, shelter, sanitation and vector control). Little or no efforts have been addressed toward the direct prevention and control of war trauma" (Aboutanos & Baker 1998).
There is a significant difference between intentionally aiming to target and kill unarmed civilians and unintentionally killing unarmed civilians as a side effect of conventional warfare. In the latter case, such killings are sometimes described as 'collateral damage'. The tsunami-like waves of suicide bombings against Israeli civilians have attracted little international condemnation, which might have effectively reduced the use of this lethal weapon against civilian targets. On the contrary, there appears to be a fascination with bombers and suicidal patterns of behavior.
1.4 CHANGING VIEWS ON SUICIDAL BEHAVIOR
A report by the World Health Organization pointed out that in much of the world suicide is stigmatized – condemned for religious or cultural reasons – and in some countries suicidal behavior is a criminal offence punishable by law. "Suicide is therefore a secretive act surrounded by taboo, and may be unrecognized, misclassified or deliberately hidden in official records of death"(WH0 2002).
However, unlike regular suicidal behavior, there is a complete reversal with suicide bombing. The latter is not stigmatized but idolized, with 'martyrs' not condemned, but praised and advocated. Suicide bombing is not a secretive act surrounded by taboo, but violently projected through global media outlets. The adulation of the suicide bombers, especially in the Moslem world, enhances suicide bombing as a strategic choice of weapon to achieve political and related objectives.
HUMAN RIGHTS WATCH REPORT 2002 – WHAT HAS HAPPENED SINCE
In October 2002, Human Rights Watch compiled a 160-page report called "Erased in a Minute: Suicide Bombing Attacks Against Israeli Civilians." The report was based on field research carried out during two investigative missions to Israel, including the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, in May and June 2002. During these visits, interviews were carried out with members of armed groups, victims of suicide bombings, perpetrators, PA officials, current and former PA security officers, Israeli and Palestinian analysts and security experts, diplomats and other foreign officials, and Palestinian activists and militants. It was the first in-depth investigation of suicide bombing by an international organization.
Up to that time more than 415 Israeli and other civilians had been killed and more than two thousand injured as a result of attacks between 30 September 2000 and 21 August, 2002. The majority of those deaths and injuries were caused by suicide bombings. "Typically, the bombers, who surrendered their own lives in the process, sought to set off their explosions in places where civilians gathered, including restaurants and places of entertainment – 'soft' targets where they could expect to cause the largest number of casualties.
Typically too, the bomber packed the explosives with nails and pieces of metal for extra deadly effect" (HRW 2002). The year 2002 saw a peak in civilian deaths and casualties. Despite the Human Rights Watch report's findings, the suicide attacks against Israeli civilians continued as a strategic choice. The main targets for suicide bombings were Israeli cities within the "Green Line" (100), the Gaza Strip (26)( Jews lived in Gaza in ancient times and in more recent times until 2005.), and the West Bank (21)( historic name for the West Bank is 'Judea and Samaria', heartland of biblical Israel.)
There were 30 suicide bombings in greater Jerusalem, 19 in the coastal Sharon area, 17 in Tel Aviv, 10 in the Wadi Ara area north of the coastal town of Hadera, and ten in other parts of the country, North as well as South (Center for Special Studies, January 2006). The majority of the victims were Israeli civilians (425 of the total 525), with 27 foreign nationals (mostly foreign workers). A large number of the victims belonged to the weaker sections of the population – infants, children and the elderly.
A profile of the suicide bombings in Israel during the years 2000 -2006 is included in the next chapter.

It's hard to live in the moment if we worry about what others might be thinking of us. Self-consciousness sets up a dual thinking process, so instead of listening to the other person or concentrating on what we want or need to say, we are also wondering how we are coming across.
By practising mindfulness to be ourselves and to be present, we will not only overcome any self-conscious fears or worries about the opinions others may have of us, but we will become more relaxed and engaged.

Poker has recently gained a lot of worldwide popularity thanks to televised world poker tournaments such as the World Series of Poker and the World Poker Tour. Poker has always been a favorite in the casinos of the world and thanks to the internet, it has also become a staple for online gambling enthusiasts.
Blackjack is also another casino game that is quite popular. It has been a long time favorite for professional and amateur gamblers alike. Most casinos around the globe have floors filled with Blackjack tables. This is also true for online casinos that allow thousands of players to play online blackjack. The game has a lot of variations and each of these variations appeal to a different kind of player. Because of its simplicity and elegance, players have always flocked to the blackjack tables whether actual or virtual.
Players who are only starting out in the world of professional or even just leisure gambling should learn the many intricacies of each game. This would allow them to know which game type will complement their playing styles and personalities.
Players who compare Blackjack vs poker in terms of time and duration would quickly learn that blackjack is a much shorter game than poker. A game of blackjack can be finished in less than a minute. It is this fast pace that draws in players who want to play games with simple rules.
You can try to play Blackjack and Poker at Eurogrand - Uk's finest online casinos, also you can get a free bonus to play both of the games.
In blackjack, players can either play against the house through the dealer or against the dealer and other players. Players are dealt two cards to start the game. The objective of the game is to reach 21 or any number as close to 21 without going over or "busting". Over the years, players have developed strategies based on odds and chance but the application of these strategies need to be lightning fast.
Poker on the other hand is much slower. In a typical game, players will require several minutes to several hours playing. A poker table will usually have several players playing against each other. The house doesn't have a representation, so players only need to beat each player at a poker table. As players are eliminated, the remaining players get larger and larger shares of the chips present at the table.
The goal of blackjack, which is reaching 21, is achieved much faster. A player who stays at a single blackjack table or even a player who moves to different blackjack tables can win many times. Depending on the amount waged at each hand, a player can actually win a lot at several blackjack games. Players who play poker on the other hand tend to win only once or not at all. This is because players at the poker table are eliminated until there is only one winner at the table. Poker is also considered as a game of skills more than it is considered a game of chance.
When comparing Blackjack vs Poker, a starting player would do well to try each game first before really committing to a single game for the rest of one's gambling career.

MOBILE, Alabama -- Carlen Street bustled this afternoon with Alabama Power crews, contractors and residents cleaning up. There were also some just taking a stroll to see the damage.
Kristy Foster has lived on Carlen Street for 10 years. She was not home, but her brother was when the tornado ripped apart homes on the street. Foster's home survived, but the huge tree in her front yard did not. The tree just missed her car, blocked off her driveway, and a portion of the street in front of her home.
Foster wasn't exactly sure how to get the tree moved, but knew it wouldn't be cheap. As she and her neighbor discussed just how much it would cost, Foster says help arrived.
"This gentleman just walked up out of the blue with his chainsaw, and just started hacking away at this tree; getting it cleared out of the driveway for us," Foster recalled.
The gentleman works for Battiste Tree Service, and he didn't just help Foster. She says after clearing her tree, he moved down the street to help her neighbors.
"It wasn't even the act of promoting his company. It was coming and doing good deeds for the residents here," Foster said.
The tree service help was just one of three acts of kindness Foster mentioned. She also said one of the neighbors works at Starbucks, and was taking orders and delivering coffee. Another person stopped and handed out utility gloves she had bought at a Dollar Store.
Another neighbor, who preferred not to be identified, related a similar story of kindness. He said Coulson Roofing is already set to repair his roof. But until the real work is done, workers patched the holes and asked for nothing in return.
However, that same neighbor was frustrated by the number of gawkers congesting the roads, and not stopping to pick up even a branch.
"I was honestly amazed at the people who came down here to gawk," he said.
He said some would stop in his path as he dragged limbs from his son's home to the side of the street. He believes charging gawkers a fee would help the city with its budget crisis.
Despite the frustration with the gawkers, neighbors were very grateful for the work being done. They praised Mobile Police Officers for doing their best to keep the roads gawker free and safe. They also thanked the Alabama Power crews and contractors for working diligently to get power restored.
AL.com wants to know your stories of kindness – whether you gave, received or witnessed the good deed. No act of kindness is insignificant. Share your stories in the comments section below, and spread some cheer this holiday season.
You'll need a free AL.com account to comment, and you can sign up at al.com/register. You can also email your stories to photos@al.com, and we will consider telling your story in our "Be Kind" holiday series.

Man appeals life sentence over murder of 7-year-old girl in Niigata
NIIGATA – A man filed an appeal Wednesday after he was handed a life sentence earlier this month for the 2018 murder of a 7-year-old girl in the city of Niigata, his lawyer said.
The defense team for Haruka Kobayashi, 25, had requested a sentence with a maximum 10 years in prison during a trial at the Niigata District Court, claiming that he had no intention of killing or molesting the girl, while suggesting he may have been mentally ill at the time.
According to the ruling, Kobayashi intentionally hit the second-grader with his car while she was on her way home from school on May 7 last year. He molested her in his car and strangled her to death before abandoning her body on a railway track so it would appear that she had been hit and killed by a train.
The ruling, issued on Dec. 4, noted that Kobayashi did not plan to kill the girl initially, but was "aware that (strangling her) carried a high risk of killing her."
Prosecutors had sought the death penalty, saying the accused showed no care for the girl's life.
Niigata, murder, Haruka Kobayashi

Secure collaboration across platforms
If you think that Groove is bloated, slow and should run on more than one operating system, you may want to try this:
Use the Shinkuro software to share files across enterprise boundaries - securely. Just install the software on each machine, create a group and designate a folder you would like to share with the group. Any files you put in that folder will be shared with the other members automatically.
Shinkuro also includes secure instant messaging and secure screen sharing, to give you a complete collaboration environment. Shinkuro's lightweight technology works easily with all of your applications.
Shinkuro runs on Windows 2000 and XP, Mac OS X "Panther", and Linux.
[via Jeroen Bekkers]
"Shinkuro uses a relay server to pass files and messages from one person to another. When the recipient is offline, the files are stored on the server until the person reconnects."
That doesn't seem comparable to Groove - right?
Too bad, something like Groove, just simpler and for more platforms, would be very cool.
Stefan Tilkov, 2004-05-09
I don't know enough about the product to speculate about similarities. But I do know that Groove needs relay servers as well. I can't think of a different way to facilitate asynchronous communication. The informations has to be stored in transit somewhere.
Shinkuro uses relays (which you can set up yourself) to pass messages over firewalls using store and forward to handle offline users. Groove requires something similar for hopping over firewalls, although they de-emphasize the store and forward aspects. In addition, if you are on the same LAN, Shinkuro can direct connect to other computers on the LAN (again similar to Groove). This works great using wireless ad-hoc mode if you happen to be in an area where there's no net connectivity but you need to work with a group of people.

Bad Bunny is the Second Man To Ever Be on the Cover of Playboy
ABTV Latino's Reggaeton Weekly talks Bad Bunny's interviews & cover with Playboy, Jon Z's new song "Natti, Karol, Becky," and Becky G's idea for her next album
Karla Contreras
Posted On: July 8th, 2020 12:44 pm pst
A post shared by Playboy (@playboy)
Once again, Bad Bunny has made history for being the second man, Hugh Hefner being the first to ever be on the cover of Playboy! He has not only made his mark in Latin music, but has created an environment of inclusivity for everyone that enjoys music, while also going against the grain of what it means to be a "man" in Latin culture.
This 26 year-old from Puerto Rico discussed his sophomore album YHLQMDLG with Playboy as a project that represents the past, present, and future of reggaeton, which you can see from the features in his album that vary from OG's to new faces in this genre. His album stands for "Yo Hago Lo Que Me Da La Gana," or "I Do Whatever I Want," which he admits, "may sound arrogant for some people, but it's about not leaving things for later, not listening to people who tell you you're wrong." Bad Bunny makes different feel normal…A KING!
A post shared by Rapetón 🍊 (@rapeton)
Bad Bunny is a strong supporter of women and their right to be free and express themselves as they please, and reggaeton artists Jon Z feel the same way. He dropped a new song called, "Natti, Karol, Becky," after the artists themselves.
In an interview with El Guru he says he was inspired to make this song after seeing a picture of these three women together. He is aware that the world of reggaeton has consisted of hypermasculinity and seeing women solely as objects, therefore, seeing these three women rise to the top means a lot for the future of Latin culture.
Not to mention, that also paves the way for other women to walk in their footsteps and be accepted more openly into what has been a male dominated genre.
A post shared by Becky G (@iambeckyg)
If women weren't already excited to be getting all this love and support from the men in reggaeton, they'll definitely be excited to know that Becky G teased in an interview that she would love to put out an album of solely women who are currently killing it in the game.
This album is unlike anything we have seen before, and she plans on calling it "Mujeres Al Poder" (Women in Power). The OG women of reggaeton, like Ivy Queen, would be very proud to see how far we've come!
