Always the educator
Longtime extension educator Phil Schwallier adjusting to life as just another Michigan apple grower.

After spending decades helping Michigan apple growers, Phil Schwallier is now just an apple grower himself.
Schwallier, 69, retired from Michigan State University last year, after nearly 42 years as an extension educator in greater Grand Rapids, which contains the Fruit Ridge, the state's largest apple region. He's only working for himself now on about 100 acres of apples, facing the same challenges and opportunities that face any other commercial grower.

Although he has more time to spend on his own farm, off-farm tasks still keep him plenty busy. He joined the board of the Michigan Apple Committee earlier this year, which he could not have done when he worked for MSU. Instead of organizing and speaking at field days and conferences, he's just another grower in the crowd now — or at least he tries to be. As an educator who held the mic for so long, walking away from his old role hasn't been easy.
"I'm still working all the time," Schwallier said with a chuckle. "But I have a passion for growing fruit and for the fruit business. It doesn't seem like work to me. It seems like fun."
Take June 3, for example: He spent the morning reviewing the results of chemical thinning trials in a couple of peach orchards, spent the afternoon with his MSU successor spraying an apple orchard as part of a different trial, and spent the evening sitting in on a virtual conference. He tried to stay in the background during the peach event, but soon enough was speaking to the group, providing valuable context informed by his decades of experience.
"He attempts to hang out in back of the crowd, but he has so much expertise and he's so well known that he continues to be called upon to share his knowledge and insight," said RJ Simons, president of Michigan Pomesters, a grower group that organizes educational orchard tours and events. "I don't ever see Phil removing himself from those discussions. He's so passionate about the tree fruit industry and enjoys it so much."

Schwallier isn't a "glory hound," said Amy Irish-Brown, a fellow extension educator who worked with him for more than two decades. He just has a generous nature and a desire to help his fellow growers.
"He's just so great at sharing," she said. "If a question needs to be answered, he'll step up."
Schwallier has roots in the Fruit Ridge — and branches reaching throughout the network of families that own many of its orchards. He was raised one of nine children on a fruit and beef cattle farm in Coopersville, a small town on the western edge of the Ridge. His wife, Judy, grew up on a Ridge dairy farm. Their four children and six grandchildren stuck close to home, too.
"I joke that Judy is related to one half of the Ridge, and I'm related to the other half," he said.
Schwallier earned an MSU bachelor's degree in horticulture in 1975. He spent a few college summers working in integrated pest management and orchard scouting programs, which sparked his interest in extension work. Shortly after getting a master's degree in entomology in 1978, he got the job he wanted: extension horticultural agent serving the Fruit Ridge and beyond.

The Ridge — with its heavy clay soils, slight elevation and partial frost protection provided by Lake Michigan — was already Michigan's largest apple-producing region at the time. Over the next few decades, Schwallier saw growers adopt trickle irrigation, herbicides, fertilizers, plant growth regulators, integrated pest management, pheromone traps, frost fans, tower sprayers, robotic harvest aids and platforms, controlled atmosphere storage, and new varieties and rootstocks. The changes keep coming, he said.
"I've been very fortunate to have worked in an industry that's dynamic and prosperous," he said.
1978 was a big year for Schwallier: He got a master's degree and a job. He also got married. He and Judy bought an old dairy farm the next year, complete with house, barns and 15 acres. They still live there today. It was a good site for fruit, so they planted some trees. Located next to a main road, it was an ideal location for a roadside market, too. In 1989, Judy started selling fruit from a picnic table underneath a tree. Since then, Schwallier's Country Basket has grown into a multifaceted agritourism operation.
Schwallier kept planting apple trees. He handled the load of being an extension educator, grower and farm marketer by getting a lot of help. His father, Fred Schwallier, and father-in-law, Carl May, both took care of his fruit trees when he was busy with his extension duties, while Judy ran the market with help from their children — and now grandchildren.

His dual roles as grower and educator made him better at both jobs, he said. His extension discoveries made him a better apple grower, while his grasp of commercial growing helped him recognize if an extension idea was actually workable. It also allowed him to explain his findings to growers in terms they could understand.
MSU Extension hires Anna Wallis to succeed Phil Schwallier as apple production specialist
Schwallier loved extension work, but it consumed a lot of hours and miles. He went back and forth about retiring, but eventually decided it was time someone else took over.
"The day I retired, it was like a weight was taken off my shoulders," he said. "I didn't have to worry about weather as much, or crops and trees I didn't even own."
MSU hired Anna Wallis to succeed Schwallier earlier this year. He's been getting her up to speed on various research trials, in an effort to keep continuity between his program and the future. They've also spent time driving around the Ridge, while he shares his wealth of knowledge about the region, Wallis said.
Schwallier's need to stay engaged with the industry doesn't surprise his wife. Judy doesn't see him slowing down any time soon.
"A lot of growers are still his very good friends," she said. "If they call and ask, he'll go there."

Are you curious about current geothermal opportunities in Canada? Do you want to learn more about current regulations in place across the country? Are you just dipping your toes into the exciting world of geothermal?
Either way, this event is for you.
CanGEA is proud to present "Enabling Development of Geothermal Projects and Technology". Join us, and five industry speakers as they help guide you through today's geothermal landscape and opportunities.
Innovation in Alberta: Is there a path from oil & gas to geothermal?
As the geothermal industry begins to accelerate in Canada and internationally, it will be necessary to collect downhole reservoir conditions (temperature and pressure for example) in real time. Incorporating instrumentation into geothermal well completions can provide the necessary reservoir monitoring capabilities using field proven oilfield techniques. On the flip side, reservoir maintenance, infrastructure and well integrity and corrosion and scaling issues will need to be addressed and mitigated. Applying oilfield technology and completions to custom designed downhole chemical injection systems will greatly enhance production well integrity and can have a dramatic effect on operating costs.
Roger Milley is the CEO of Fuzeium Innovations Inc. Fuzeium ignites insight from data. This is done by answering questions with interactive dashboards. Fuzeium will demonstrate how Well data can be made easier to understand.
Lauren MacLennan recently joined the Calgary Regional Office where she is Trade Commissioner responsible for the renewable energy and mining sectors. Lauren has previously completed assignments in Vancouver, Australia, New Zealand, and Ottawa. Originally from Alberta, she is excited to be home and looks forward to assisting companies in the prairies and Northwest Territories region to reach their international business development goals.
With our on-the-ground presence in 161 cities worldwide and our offices across Canada, the Trade Commissioner Service is everywhere you do business. If your company or organization is ready to export, partner or invest abroad, we are here to help.
The CanExport program is a five-year, $50-million Government of Canada program that provides direct financial assistance to small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) registered in Canada that are seeking to develop new export opportunities and markets, especially high-growth emerging markets.
Event Registration is closed. A BIG thanks to all of our presenters and attendees that helped make this event a resounding success.

A routine of light or moderate alcohol consumption (4drinks/day) is associated with an increased risk for death and cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD). Excessive alcohol intake trails behind only smoking and obesity among the 3 leading causes of premature deaths in the United States (US). Heavy alcohol use is a common cause of reversible hypertension (HTN), nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation (AF), and stroke (both ischemic and hemorrhagic). Among males aged 15 to 59years, alcohol abuse is perhaps the leading cause of premature death. As such, the risk-to-benefit ratio of drinking is less favorable in younger individuals. A daily habit of light to moderate drinking is ideal for those who choose to consume alcohol regularly. Red wine in particular before or during the evening meal is linked with the best long-term CV outcomes. Most of the studies on alcohol and health are observational, and correlation does not prove causation. Health care professionals should not advise nondrinkers to begin drinking because of the paucity of randomized outcome data coupled with the potential for alcohol abuse even among seemingly low risk individuals.
Purpose: The placement of warning labels on alcoholic beverages is a policy area with renewed interest, yet a strong evidence base regarding the efficacy of text-based or pictorial warning labels has still to emerge. Increased interest by policymakers has spurred research into potential alcohol warning label designs and messages. The purpose of this article is to draw together recearch in the alcohol warnings literature.
Design/methodology/approach: The current study seeks to review research that has sought to examine the effectiveness of alcohol warning labels. Searches for English-language articles (since 2000) using the terms "alcohol" and "warning label*" were conducted in 2015 across four databases (Web of Science, PubMed, PsycInfo and Cochrane). Articles were included if they empirically assessed the effectiveness and/or design of alcohol warning labels. Only studies that addressed the targeted individual consumer (consistent with downstream social marketing) were included. A narrative analysis approach was used for the 15 articles identified.
Findings: Findings are reported on five themes covering the design of the warning, starting with the use of imagery or recommendations, followed by a focus on the warning messages and whether they are specific, use signal words and are based on qualitative or quantitative information.
Research limitations/implications: Overall, there was little consistency in approach and measures, with very limited research having explored the potential of pictorial warning labels. Numerous research gaps are identified; thus, much more research is needed in this area. The evidence base is weak and caution is needed by policymakers regarding the introduction and implementation of alcohol warning labels. Limitations are discussed.
Originality/value: The review provides a timely up-to-date evaluation of the alcohol warning labels literature that has seen a recent resurgence but has not been critically reviewed.
METHODS AND RESULTS: We searched Medline and Embase for original cohort studies on the association between average alcohol consumption and incidence of hypertension in people without hypertension. Random-effects meta-analyses and metaregressions were conducted. Data from 20 articles with 361 254 participants (125 907 men and 235 347 women) and 90 160 incident cases of hypertension (32 426 men and 57 734 women) were included. In people drinking 1 to 2 drinks/day (12 g of pure ethanol per drink), incidence of hypertension differed between men and women (relative riskwomen vs men=0.79; 95% confidence interval, 0.67-0.93). In men, the risk for hypertension in comparison with abstainers was relative risk=1.19 (1.07-1.31; I(2)=59%), 1.51 (1.30-1.76), and 1.74 (1.35-2.24) for consumption of 1 to 2, 3 to 4, and 5 or more standard drinks per day, respectively. In women, there was no increased risk for 1 to 2 drinks/day (relative risk=0.94; 0.88-1.01; I(2)=73%), and an increased risk for consumption beyond this level (relative risk=1.42; 1.22-1.66).
BACKGROUND: Individual participant data pooled analyses allow access to non-published data and statistical reanalyses based on more homogeneous criteria than meta-analyses based on systematic reviews. We quantified the impact of publication-related biases and heterogeneity in data analysis and presentation in summary estimates of the association between alcohol drinking and gastric cancer.
METHODS: We compared estimates obtained from conventional meta-analyses, using only data available in published reports from studies that take part in the Stomach Cancer Pooling (StoP) Project, with individual participant data pooled analyses including the same studies.
RESULTS: A total of 22 studies from the StoP Project assessed the relation between alcohol intake and gastric cancer, 19 had specific data for levels of consumption and 18 according to cancer location; published reports addressing these associations were available from 18, 5 and 5 studies, respectively. The summary odds ratios [OR, (95%CI)] estimate obtained with published data for drinkers vs. non-drinkers was 10% higher than the one obtained with individual StoP data [18 vs. 22 studies: 1.21 (1.07-1.36) vs. 1.10 (0.99-1.23)] and more heterogeneous (I(2): 63.6% vs 54.4%). In general, published data yielded less precise summary estimates (standard errors up to 2.6 times higher). Funnel plot analysis suggested publication bias.
CONCLUSION: Meta-analyses of the association between alcohol drinking and gastric cancer tended to overestimate the magnitude of the effects, possibly due to publication bias. Additionally, individual participant data pooled analyses yielded more precise estimates for different levels of exposure or cancer subtypes.

TOUR DE FRANCE 1948: 70 YEARS FROM THE SPORTING CHALLENGE THAT SAVED ITALY
by Lisa Bartali 17 September 2018
written by Lisa Bartali 17 September 2018
July 1948, July 2018: exactly 70 years have passed since what we can consider the biggest sporting challenge in history. 30th June 1948, we are at the Tour de France and the cycling fans are about to assist at something incredible. The Italian team consists of 10 cyclists at the starting point, apart from Gino Bartali there are Bevilacqua, Biagioni, Corrieri, Cottur, De Santi, Feruglio, Pasquini, Rossello and Volpi. A cycling team that somebody will define "not worth a penny".
An exhausting tour: 4992 km divided in twentyone stages.
The first stage goes from Paris to Trouville: 237 km of flat route, not ideal to climbers. But Bartali is not only a climber, he is a complete rider, able to fight with the best sprinters in the world. He wins in the sprint on Schott, despite a puncture, after having recuperated the group.
Life keeps going on after the II World War. Coppi and Bartali compete on pedals while Italy is being reconstructed. Gino won the Swiss Tour and the Giro d'Italia in 1946, the same year when my father Luigi was born. In '47 Coppi wins the Giro d'Italia in front of Bartali. And then the Tour de France 1948 arrives. Alfredo Binda, technical coach, at the race start advised Gino to be prudent: "Go slowly, lets think that you are old to fight, in order not to have everyone on your back at the beginning." It was Gino's Tour, the Italians Tour and the first year for the loyal "Giovannino" Corrieri as team mate of Gino Bartali.
"Gino what are we going to do tomorrow? " Corrieri asked me. "Nothing. We go to Lourdes and we pray Our Lady…"
Gino-Bartali-in-preghieraa-Lourdes-archivio-fam-
The following stages stop every enthusiasm. The French, guided by Bobet and Lapebie, are unbridled and gain minutes and minutes, giving Bartali the 28th place at 22 minutes from the yellow jersey Bobet. Everything seems lost, and the journalists, who have already defined the Italian team "not worth a penny", don't loose occasion to judge:
"Bartali you are old! At 34 years old we cannot expect anything from you"
Everyone thinks the same: it is a distance that cannot be filled! Everyone thinks this, and they are right, because 22 minutes in cycling are really impossible to be filled. Some minutes of recuperation are already considered a success. How can 22 minutes be recuperated? It's impossible! Everyone knows. Everyone exept one, Gino Bartali.
He is the iron man, whose will overcomes his trained legs to the labours of cycling at every curve. He is the giant of the mountain, the good giant, who had bluffed the Nazi militia only four years before with his silent routes… Nobody, at the time of the Tour de France 1948, could suspect it. In '43 and '44 Gino has accomplished a great silent mission. Many had been his journeys from Florence to Assisi and Perugia, and then arriving in Rome, secretly transporting the documents to let thousands of Jews expatriate. During the II World War, with the excuse of having to train, my grandfather had run great distances. He had not lost his physical shape, nor his enthusiasm!
What happened exactly in those days? They arrive to the Pirenees. Bartali wins the seventh and the eighth stages, the Biarritz-Lourdes and the Lourdes-Touluse, arriving 14th in the general ranking and 8th at the end of these two stages. Gino is 9th at 11 minutes and 48 seconds after other three intermediate stages. We are at the twelfth stage, the Sanremo-Cannes. Bartali and Bobet face together the Col du Turini. In a moment everything is lost! Bartali had a puncture because of a nail.
Bobet springs and wins the stage, with a distance from Bartali that sound as a sentence:
more than 8 minutes, taking his advantage on the Italian of 21 minutes and 20 seconds. Everything is wrong, everything to redo! There are only nine stages at the end, and many Italian journalists go back home: "We had told you that it was an utopia! How can you wish that a man 34 years old could win such a tough race?"
la-Gazzetta-dello-Sport-1948
It was the 14th July, the anniversary of the Bastille day. Day of national holiday and rest for the Tour. In the streets there were many journalists with bags under arms But they don't go all away because of Gino: "They call us from Italy. This morning there has been an attempt on Togliatti's life". While in France it was holiday, in Rome, that hot summer morning, a tragedy has touched. Domenico Antonio Pallante, 24 years old, from Catania and obsessioned by Communism, shot at Palmiro Togliatti, leader of the PCI ( Italian Communist Party). Seriously injured, Togliatti was brought to the hospital. CGIL proclaimed a general workers' strike.ra il 14 Luglio, l'anniversario della presa della Bastiglia.
Drammatic hours for the Country. The civil war is feared.
The same evening in the hotel the phone rang. It wasn't Adriana, as my grandfather hoped. "Do you recognize me, Gino"? Of course, you are Alcide". The President of the Italian Counsel, Alcide De Gasperi, called his friend Gino asking hime for a great help. They had met some years before, when both were in the Azione Cattolica group in Florence.
Are you thinking of winning the Tour?
I wouldn't know Alcide, is still missing a week. But I will surely win tomorrow's stage!
Bartali-primo-al-traguardo-a-Briancon
And here are the Alps, three alpine stages. These stages will reveal the truth! We begin with the Cannes-Briançon, there are the Allos, Vars and Izoard to climb. Robic attacks on the first hill, the weather is one of the worst. It rains and it is cold. A cold that makes the limbs stiff, it is an ordeal for everyone. Cold and rain that enter in the bones and block the muscules. It's in this moment, with these weather conditions, that Bartali attacks and leaves everyone astounded!
On the second difficult ascent of the day he dashes off alone to catch Robic, he reaches him and surpasses him in the descent. Bartali's attack is not only a simple sprint. Bartali is furious for the unjust critics received, and he vents on the pedals all his rage. The cold that clutches the others doesn't affect him at all. When Bobet crosses the race arrival, Bartali is already in his hotel!
Gino had already won on these streets, exactly ten years before. And now somebody asked him a new challenge, a miracle. His victory unleashed a general enthusiasm in Italy and it mitigated the revolt. -Togliatti's operation succeeded perfectly. Everything seemed to settle in.
A triumph that soothed the souls and changed the history of Italy.
The challenge is already legendary, Bartali recuperates more than 20 minutes in only one stage and brings himself to only 51 seconds from the yellow jersey. That distance, that everyone thought unfillable is filled! Everyone is incredulous, and maybe many of the journalists who had defined Gino "dead" still believe that Gino will pay the effort on the following days. But they don't know what is about to happen.
"Guys – I said to my team-mates Corrieri, Bevilacqua, Pasquini and the others – the French are going to attack us today, we have to show that we don't fear anybody. It's necessary to ride fast from the beginning to tire them, then I'll take care of the situation! I drank a coffee and I smoked a half cigarette that gave me some energy, and then we arrived all together the starting point."
The following day there is another terrible stage on the mountains, the Briançon-Aix Les Bains, of 267 km. Five slopes to climb: Galibier, Crox de Fer, Portet, Cucheron and Granier. They are not all asphalted roads, and the weather is bad, as the day before.
It's snowing on the Galibier and the riders are tired after all these kilometers.
Champions of the calibre of Bobet, who later will win three consecutive Tour de France, and Schotte who in the same year will become the world champion, start to get tired. But not Bartali! For him, the tyring day that has bended Bobet, Schotte and Robic are only the warming up. For Gino the Croix de Fer tests the rivals. He wins the G.P.M. ( Gran Premio della Montagna) and he is already virtually yellow yersey.
My grandfather Gino usually trained in all weather conditions. My father Luigi told me that one winter Firenze was struck by a great cold. Gino was riding the bike and one of his friends driving the car saw him and he shouted at him through the window "Gino, what are you doing? Jump in the car! Don't you see that it is snowing?" And he replied angry: "I see, that's why I am training! I won't ever know if during the next race it will snow, it will rain or if it will be good weather."
The attack on the Portet is an earthquake. Bartali is unbrindled, and while his rivals trudge behind him, he climbs the mountain at an impressive rhythm. He gains one minute per km and he recuperates 8 minutes of advantage from the pursuers. Bartali finishes the stage with an extraorinary average time of 27,669km/h.
Incredibly, and against all predictions, he is wearing the yellow jersey!

"I was already on the podium, when Ockers arrived after 6 minutes. Sixth Bobet after 8 minutes. He was crying. The yellow shirt was finally on my shoulders.
I was as happy as a kid!"
The remaining stages are a formality. Nobody can only imagine to attack Bartali, who wins the following stage Aix Les Bains-Losanna. He had 22 minutes of disadvantage before the Alps, it was impossible to recuperate, everyone knew, everyone exept him: Gino Bartali. The eternal, the iron man, the only one to have won the Tour de France with 10 years of distance one from the other, doing the greatest sporting enterprise of history!
We have wanted to run through again the main stages of the Tour de France of 1948, that will remain in the history of Cycling and of Italy. I thank Fabrizio Caliendo of Milan, a great fan of cycling and Gino's fun, for his collaboration. The main script is his production, alternated with my paragraphs in red and other citations of Gino, taken from the book "The Legend of Bartali" by M. Lazzerini and R. Beghelli

As I Awakened from Being a Hollow Saint, I Will Fully Enjoy This Hopeless Contract Marriage!
Prologue (プロローグ)
translated by: myonnie
"...Your Majesty, I have been informed that the saint has arrived."
"I see."
I stop working on the paperwork and notice that Byron, my close aide, looks as if he wanted to say something.
I prompt him to speak, and Byron, though still clearly hesitant, opens his mouth.
"Are you really going to take that 'Hollow Saint' as the empress? Even if she's basically powerless?"
"Yes. I'm serious."
Byron clenches his hands tightly to my response, and a look of impatience fills his face. The usual Byron is the epitome of calm and collected. Losing his cool like this means one thing; he can't bear his anger and grief any longer.
"Not only that they send us back a saint who can't even use magic properly, but now you're making her the empress... If the Fallon Kingdom ridicules us any further than this, we will lose our face!"
"I suppose so. But look at the state of our country; we're desperate enough that even an ornamental saint will suffice."
The once prosperous Reavis Empire is now called the 'Cursed Land'. With no births of new saints, it suffers the increasing demons, the spreading plague, and the unfruitful harvests.
And now, the saint we will finally welcome from another county is dubbed the 'Incompetent Hollow Saint' because she has almost no magic power, resulting in the inability to use magic adequately. It's no doubt a gesture of mockery towards the empire.
...But, the mere presence of a saint in this country will be a huge emotional support for the people. Besides, they won't know that the saint who's coming to the empire has no power.
"That doesn't mean you should make her the empress..."
"She needs to be in a high position since we're welcoming a precious saint. It's also time for me to settle down and reassure the ministers and the citizens. Consider it a contract marriage until we stabilize the country."
For this plan to work, it's more convenient to marry someone from another country than the high-ranking nobles in my own country to avoid possible political complications.
Yet Byron isn't at all convinced by the explanation. "There are plenty of other options you can pick. Someone who is more suited for you..." As my close confidant, he must've been that worried about me. "She's sent by Fallon Kingdom. Not only that she can't use magic, but she must also be quite hard to deal with as well. You need to make sure not to have yourself dragged by her."
"You don't need to worry about that."
I reassure my anxious aide with clear resolve and gently touch the wand full of scratches displayed on the side of my desk; the very same item which was used by the Great Saint right before her death.
(Seventeen years have passed since then.)
No matter how much gone were the days, my feelings for her had not faded; they've only grown stronger.
And that will never, ever change.
"...I will love only Else Reese until the end of my life."

I rediscovered this author when I was organizing my novel collections before I move out... and found out that they had written so many new novels! Since I have quite a lot of free time before my internship starts, I decided to translate their latest web novel since it's quite short.
A lot of this author's works (or at least the ones I purchased before) are mostly short, light-hearted stories full of fluff. Though they consistently go with the 'main character rising from the mud' and 'doting, super-darling male character' tropes, they never fail to add their own spin to their stories. I hope it's as good as I hoped! :)

Q: Call dynamically modal bootstrap for log-in I would like know which logic is used to show the modal of login if the user does an action when is not logged. Example with a scenario:
User A is logged on the website, he opens another page and logs out, he comes back to the previous page where was logged and write a comment on shoutbox in ajax. The user is not logged and should be shown a modal (bootstap if possible) with the form log in.
Obviously the check is done with php everything is done, I don't know how to call the modal and open it after the check php if it fail.
I thought a solution, like put the modal in all the pages, and call it with $('#modal').modal('show'); after the result of ajax, but i think is not the right solution put that modal in all the page, maybe there is a method for call it dynamically

A: The approach depends greatly on what exactly you are using.
Me, being a symfony2 fan, I would return either a success message or a rendered view containing the modal if the user is not logged in.
On the frontend I would need only to check if the success message was returned, else eval() the message so the rendered view is shown.
This way, from whatever page you call that action you will get the modal as response if user is not logged in.

A: Here is what you can try,
$.ajax({
// your ajax code, in php file you check session if not return NotLoggedIn message
   success:function(data) {
       if(data == 'NotLoggedIn') {
          $('#modalbody').html('here is the html of your login form');
          $('#modal').modal('show');
       } else {
          // other code
       }
   }
});

A: You can include the following javascript code in a js file along with the rest of you js libs,
function showModal(message, closeCaption, options) {
    $(document).ready(function () {

        var modalDialogHTML = '
' +
            '
' +
            '
' +
            '
' +
            '<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="modal" aria-hidden="true">×</button>
Modal title
' +
            '
' +
            '
' + message + '
' +
            '
' +
            '<button type="button" class="btn btn-default" data-dismiss="modal">' + (closeCaption ? closeCaption : 'Close') + '</button>' +
            '
' +
            '
' +
            '
' +
            '
';

        $('body').append(modalDialogHTML);
        $('#myModal').modal(options);

    });
}

Then you may call dynamically showModal("the message");
when you detect non logged in user.
http://jsfiddle.net/v8USb/

A: Use cookies, while user logout, cookies expires. Create a php file which includes login modal code and place on every page like <?php include("login-modal.php")?>. Then set when user add comment, a jquery is run to check if user is already logged in or not. if not then open modal login

The London Borough of Hackney is a London borough in North-East London, and forms part of inner London.� To rent flats, houses or apartments in Hackney, please contact Black Katz - City office.
Borough of contrasts
Between 1999 and 2001 serious concerns were expressed about Hackney's performance as a council by the Audit Commission, and many aspects of council services were failing. This led to considerable negative press coverage that still colours perceptions of the area, but is at odds with the changing realities of the borough. In 2005, MORI identified that residents were significantly more satisfied than they had been in 2002, and in 2007 the Audit Commission showed that improvements continue to be made in council performance, with the council now achieving 'three stars', and described as 'improving strongly'.
While every ward remains among the 10% most deprived in the country, with 47% of children living in low income households, the ethnic diversity of the area creates a vibrant inner city area of London. Hackney has a reputation as one of the most crime-affected London boroughs, but cooperation between local police and council has resulted in the borough experiencing a bigger drop in crime than in any other London borough in the four year period up to 2007 (28% reduction).
The south western tip of the borough is adjacent to the City and close to the Broadgate development. In this area some office development has taken place within the borough boundary. Also in the south west is Hoxton and Shoreditch which are central to the London arts scene and home to numerous clubs, bars, shops and restaurants, much of which is centred on Hoxton Square. The development of Shoreditch and Hoxton caused land value to increase in the area such that developers looked to other parts of the borough for development. Much of Hackney is inner-city in character and in places like Dalston large housing estates now sit side-by-side with gated communities.
The historical and administrative heart of Hackney is the area roughly surrounding and extending north from Mare Street known as Hackney Central. Hackney Town Hall Square has been developed as a new 'creative quarter'. Surrounding the public square itself is the Ocean music venue, a new Library, Technology and Learning Centre, Hackney Museum and the refurbished Hackney Empire. A new town hall complex is being built behind the existing building. South Hackney abuts Victoria Park (which is in neighbouring Tower Hamlets) and terraced Victorian and Edwardian housing stock has survived in the area.
To the north of the borough is Clapton, Stamford Hill and Stoke Newington. To the east is the large open space of the Hackney Marshes and the districts of Hackney Wick and Homerton. There is some declining light industry around the River Lea (the eastern boundary) and land is planned to be re-used for the 2012 Summer Olympics, making the area one of the Host Boroughs for the games.
There are 1,300 listed buildings in Hackney, including the iconic grade II* Hackney Empire, Tudor Sutton House, and the grade I medieval St Augustine's tower. The Borough contains 25 conservation areas including Clapton Square, and many urban open-spaces including Clapton Common and Clissold Park. Conservation areas also protect large areas of Georgian and Victorian housing, and areas of industrial heritage.
History�
The borough was formed in 1965 from the area of the former metropolitan boroughs of Hackney, Shoreditch and Stoke Newington. The new council adopted elements of its constituents in the new coat of arms; Shoreditch by three bells from Shoreditch Church (recalled in the rhyme Oranges and Lemons), Stoke Newington by two trees bearing fruit, and Hackney by the eight pointed cross of the principal landowners of the parish in the middle-ages, the Order of St John of Jerusalem. The shield is surmounted by a representation of St Augustin's Tower, the remains of Hackney's former parish church in the historical centre of Hackney. The motto is Justitia turris nostra, translated as Being fair is what makes us strong. The Queen's portrait hangs in the council chamber, wearing the robes of the Venerable Order of Saint John.
Individual parts of the borough have a rich history. The Roman road, Ermine Street forms the western edge of the borough. Much of the rest of the land was covered with open oak and hazel woodlands, with marshland around the rivers and streams that crossed the area. Hackney lay in the Catevallauni tribal territory. The eastern boundary of the borough is formed by the River Lee. This was an ancient boundary between pre-Roman tribes, and in the Roman era, was tidal as far as Hackney Wick and continued as the boundary between the historic counties of Middlesex and Essex.
In the Tudor period the lands of the religious order were seized and Hackney became a retreat for nobility around Hackney Central and Homerton, including Henry VIII's palace by the Lee Bridge roundabout, where Brooke House School stands today. Sutton House, on Homerton High Street, is the oldest surviving dwelling in Hackney, originally built as Bryck Place for Tudor diplomat Sir Ralph Sadleir in 1535. The village of Hackney flourished from the Tudor to late Georgian periods as a rural retreat � brought to an end by the construction of the railway in the 1850s. Notable residents have included Thomas Sutton, Samuel Courtauld, Joseph Priestly, a governor of the Bank of England and the founding director of the Honourable East India Company.
London's first Tudor theatres were built in Shoreditch and the Gunpowder Plot was first exposed at nearby Hoxton. Many grand houses stood in Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill, with the latter providing a haven for Hackney's many orthodox Jewish residents from the 1930s. Alfred Hitchcock made many of his first films in Hoxton at the Gainsborough Studios in Poole street.
After industrialisation, extensive post-war development and immigration the area is now gentrifying its large stock of Georgian and Victorian terraces and new apartments, warehouse conversions and period restorations are being built. Despite development it is inner London's 'greenest borough' and London Transport's 'best bike borough 2006', with 62 parks and open spaces, covering 815 acres (3.3 km2). Seven Hackney parks have now achieved Green Flag status. Hackney Marshes play host to the largest collection of football pitches in Europe; and will be the site of part of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
Council�
Unlike most other English local authorities, the Borough is now governed by a directly-elected Mayor who is also the political leader of the council. The Mayor � currently Jules Pipe CBE � is supported by a Cabinet, Councillors and a Speaker, currently Councillor Ian Rathbone, who fulfils the civic and ceremonial duties previously undertaken by the (non-political) mayor.
At the Hackney Council election on 4 May 2006 the Labour Party were returned with 44 councillors, winning one seat and losing one. The Conservative Party forms the largest opposition party on the council with nine councillors, the Liberal Democrats have three, and for only the second time a candidate from the Green Party was elected.
Demographics of Hackney�
Stamford Hill has a large Haredim (Orthodox Jewish) population.The 2001 census gives Hackney a population of 202,824.
The population is ethnically diverse. Of the resident population, 89,490 (44%) people describe themselves as White British. 30,978 (15%) are in other White ethnic groups, 50,009 (25%) are Black or Black British, 17,414 (9%) are Asian or Asian British, 8,501 (4%) describe themselves as 'Mixed', and 6,432 (3%) as Chinese or Other.
There is also a large Turkish population in Hackney, mainly whom are Turkish Cypriot. Turkish-speaking communities are located in all parts of the Borough, though there is a greater concentration in North and Central parts of the Borough. Stoke Newington, Newington Green and Dalston have the greatest concentration of population and in particular Green Lanes, running from Manor House down to Newington Green Roundabout, has a high concentration of businesses and shops.
132,931 (66%) of the resident population were born in the UK. A further 10,095 (5%) were born in other parts of Europe, and the remaining 59,798 (29%) born elsewhere in the world.
The 2001 census also shows Christianity is the biggest religion in Hackney, with (44%) Christian; (18%) Muslim; (4%) Jewish; and (3%) belong to other religions. A further (19%) stated no religion, and (12%) did not state a religion.
32% of householders are owner�occupiers.
In 2002, the borough entered into a ten year contract with the Learning Trust, an independent collaborative body that organises education for Hackney's 27,000 pupils in over 70 schools, nurseries and play centres. The trust was set up in response to an OFSTED report that identified failings in the then existing system. Two of London's most successful City Academies are in Hackney with another two in development and plans to rebuild or renovate every other Hackney school by 2016.
Hackney is currently poorly served by London Underground services. Only one station, Manor House is located in the Borough, on its extreme north-westen fringe on the boundary with Haringey. Old Street sits only a few yards south-west of the Borough in Islington.
Transport for London is extending the East London Line northwards through the borough, reusing some of the abandoned line between Dalston Junction and Broad Street, with stations planned at Shoreditch High Street, Hoxton, Haggerston and Dalston Junction. When complete, in June 2010, the line will be handed over to London Overground, who will run services from Hackney to South London. Crossrail 2 would provide a direct Underground line to serve Hackney, Dalston and Homerton although it is now undecided whether this would be operated by the London Underground or as a main line.
The North London Line is operated by TfL, as a part of the London Overground. The Lea Valley Lines also passes through Hackney:

C.Lambert@soton.ac.uk
Dr Craig Lambert BA, MA, and PhD. Fellow of the British Commission for Maritime History
Associate Professor in Maritime History
H-Commons profile
Dr Craig Lambert is an Associate Professor in Maritime History at the University of Southampton.
I am an historian whose primary research focus is on maritime history, especially the study of maritime communities, merchant shipping, and naval logistics c.1300-c.1600.
My key areas of research focus on naval operations and logistics during the Hundred Years War, and on the size and geographical distribution of the English merchant fleet c.1300-c.1600. I also have a keen research interest in maritime communities. My research draws on prosopography underpinned by the use of databases to undertake quantitative and qualitative investigations of merchant shipping, maritime communities, and naval operations.
My interest in medieval and Tudor merchant shipping was helped by a grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council entitled: The Evolution of English Shipping Capacity and Shipboard Communities from the early 15th Century to Drake's Circumnavigation. This project has since produced a free to access searchable database of c.53000 ship-voyages from over 600 English, Welsh and Channel Islands ports and includes interactive port and trade routes maps. This can be searched here. The project also developed a series of free to access teaching materials for sixth form students based on the project and website. You can find more about the project's wider impact here.
While by trade an historian, I have a keen interest in restorative justice and its application in community settings. This interest was stimulated by managing a National Lottery-funded project (2009-11) that investigated how restorative practices were implemented across a wide range of governmental and educational institutions, and private companies, across the city of Kingston-Upon-Hull.
BA, History, University of Hull, 2004
MA, History, University of Hull, 2005
PhD, University of Hull, 2009
My research centres on three key areas:
Late medieval naval operations and logistics
Medieval and Tudor maritime communities
Late medieval and Tudor merchant shipping
My recent research has centred on understanding the size and geographical distribution of the English merchant fleet from c.1300-c.1580. My interest in merchant shipping was helped by a 2014 grant from the Arts and Humanities Research Council entitled: The Evolution of English Shipping Capacity and Shipboard Communities from the early 15th Century to Drake's Circumnavigation (Grant reference: AH/L004062/1). This project has since produced a free to access searchable database of c.53000 ship-voyages from over 600 English, Welsh and Channel Islands ports and includes interactive port and trade routes maps.

Tributes paid to former consultant physician Dr David Walmsley
by Cumbria Crack 12/05/2018
Dr David Walmsley
[T]ributes have been paid to former consultant physician Dr David Walmsley who died whilst cycling on the 19 April 2018.
David was the first consultant in diabetes and endocrinology at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI) and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) when he took up his post in 1995. He had studied medicine in Birmingham where he met his future wife Jenny, and his student elective at a mission hospital in Botswana was a formative experience that helped shape his view of medicine.
Dr Paul Smith, Consultant Physician, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust said: "David worked as a junior doctor in the Midlands and Yorkshire, before taking up a senior registrar post in Aberdeen. He would occasionally fondly recall waiting for his interview at the Moor Hospital when he was joined by a friendly gentleman who helped himself to the tea and biscuits that had been provided for the candidates.
"As one of just five consultant physicians David was extremely busy in his early years at the Trust, providing inpatient care and clinics at both RLI and WGH. He introduced endocrinology clinics to the local area and transformed diabetes care, in particular through commencing dedicated diabetes ante-natal clinics that supported many women with diabetes through pregnancy.
"He was a knowledgeable, dedicated and skilled physician and had a special interest in pituitary disease which meant that he was able to care for patients with complex problems for which they would previously have had to travel. On many occasions he would 'go the extra mile' for patients and justifiably accumulated a 'fan base'. Even now his colleagues will be told, "Oh he was such a good doctor, Dr Walmsley," or "I do miss seeing Dr Walmsley."
"He was meticulous in his practice and had great skill in recall and attention to detail, and his fellows learnt over the years that when he started to talk in meetings it was a good idea to get comfortable. David was a keen proponent of patient education so his colleagues were delighted to be able to dedicate the education resource room in the Diabetes Centre to him, and have it opened by him last year.
"Outside of work David had a range of interests that included gardening, ornithology, and music and he was passionate about local wildlife and ecology which he supported through the Lune Valley Rivers Trust. He was dedicated to his family and immensely proud of his two sons John and Phil who have both recently married and are pursuing careers in academia.
"David retired in February 2016 after 20 years as a consultant and he made the most of his liberation from work, pursuing his different interests and spending time with his family. I was his fellow consultant in diabetes and endocrinology for over 15 years and very much valued David's knowledge, support and friendship, and as with many others will miss him greatly.
"A service of thanksgiving was held for David at St Paul's Church in Brookhouse on Thursday 1 May 2018 at which donations in lieu of flowers were collected, and will be divided between the Diabetes Centre at the RLI and the Woodlands Trust. We have started a Book of Remembrance for David in the Diabetes Centre in which friends and colleagues can write dedications, thoughts and or reflections in his memory and anyone who would like to contribute to the book or make a donation please call in to the centre. I would like to pass the book on to Jenny, John and Phil by the end of May, so please don't delay."
Sue Smith, Executive Chief Nurse and Deputy Chief Executive, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust said: "Like other colleagues, I was shocked and saddened by the loss of a very special colleague. David and I worked closely together in his early years with the Trust when we worked on improving the knowledge and education of staff in caring for people with diabetes. We even won a national award!
"I have very fond memories of working with David and we stayed in touch over the years. When I came back to the Trust in my current role, David was one of the first to welcome me and offer his support. I am saddened that David has been taken so soon, and especially saddened for his family who David spoke about all of the time.
"His funeral service was incredibly moving and it is clear that this close and loving family have lost a very special husband, father, brother. Here at UHMBT, I know his death has impacted on many people. We won't forget you David. Rest in peace."

V LO im. Księcia Józefa Poniatowskiego w Warszawie (V LO, Poniatówka) – szkoła ponadgimnazjalna przy ul. Nowolipie 8 na warszawskim Muranowie, powstała w roku 1918 jako Królewsko-polska Szkoła dla byłych Wojskowych.

Historia

Przed II wojną światową
Szkoła rozpoczęła działalność 1 września 1918 roku jako Królewsko-polska Szkoła dla byłych Wojskowych w gmachu K. Kreczmara przy ul. Wilczej 41. Było to gimnazjum o profilu humanistycznym do którego przyjmowano byłych żołnierzy walczących podczas I wojny światowej chcących kontynuować naukę w klasach od V do VIII. W roku 1919 dwukrotnie zmieniano nazwę szkoły, najpierw na Państwowa Szkoła dla Byłych Wojskowych, a następnie na Państwowe Gimnazjum dla Byłych Wojskowych.

W roku 1920 z powodu trwania wojny polsko-bolszewickiej rok szkolny rozpoczął się z dwumiesięcznym opóźnieniem. Uczniowie jak i kadra dydaktyczna wzięli udział w walkach, 9 z nich poległo. Na ich pamięć ufundowano tablice pamiątkową (umieszczoną w gmachu szkoły przy ul. Złotej 53) z napisem DULCE ET DECORUM EST PRO PATRIA MORI (łac. słodko i zaszczytnie jest umrzeć za ojczyznę.). Pod nią znajdują się nazwiska poległych uczniów.

W 1922 roku zmieniono charakter szkoły na gimnazjum ogólnie dostępne, a nazwę na Państwowe Gimnazjum imienia Księcia Józefa Poniatowskiego. Uczniów przyjmowano na zasadach ogólnych, przewidzianych dla szkół państwowych (pierwszeństwo przyjęcia mieli uczniowie z rodzin urzędników państwowych). W tym samym roku ustalono dzień 19 października świętem szkoły, na pamiątkę śmierci patrona. Również w tym roku Władysław Szyndler, uczeń Poniatówki, wykonał olejny portret księcia Józefa Poniatowskiego, który jest dotąd przechowywany w szkole. 2 maja 1923 nastąpiło uroczyste poświęcenie sztandaru szkoły. W lutym 1924 jej siedzibę przeniesiono do gmachu Państwowego Gimnazjum im. Joachima Lelewela przy ulicy Złotej 53. 1 lutego 1931 szkoła uzyskała pomieszczenia w gmachu Gimnazjum im. Władysława IV, zaś 15 września przeniesiono ją do gmachu przy ulicy Lisa Kuli 16, róg Rokitnej na Żoliborzu. 1 lipca 1938 zgodnie z zarządzeniem Ministra Wyznań Religijnych i Oświecenia Publicznego zmieniono nazwę szkoły na V Państwowe Liceum i Gimnazjum im. Księcia Józefa Poniatowskiego.

Szkoła w latach wojny
Zajęcia szkolne odbywały się do 15 listopada 1939. Po zajęciu Warszawy przez okupantów jej budynek został przekształcony na noclegownię dla uchodźców. Pod koniec 1941 roku w gmachu szkoły umieszczono szpital polowy.

Natychmiast po zamknięciu szkoły rozpoczęto tajne nauczanie w niewielkich kompletach uczniowskich. Trwało ono do powstania warszawskiego. Powstały również konspiracyjne grupy harcerskie uczniów Poniatówki, których młodsi uczestnicy dali początek żoliborskim Szarym Szeregom, starsi zaś trafili do wojskowych oddziałów armii podziemnej. We wrześniu 1940 rozpoczęto Kursy Przygotowawcze do Szkół Zawodowych II Stopnia Nr 5, na których realizowano nauczanie w dozwolonym przez władze zakresie. Pozostałe przedmioty (tj. historia, geografia, propedeutyka filozofii, łacina, języki obce, literatura polska) i program klasy II licealnej nauczany był potajemnie. Od 1 lutego 1945 roku szkoła wznowiła działalność w budynku przy placu Inwalidów 10.

W sumie podczas II wojny światowej świadectwo dojrzałości uzyskało 170 uczniów, jednak po wojnie odebrano 111 świadectw.

Lata po wojnie

Po wojnie Poniatówka otrzymała jedno piętro w gmachu XIV Gimnazjum i Liceum im. Aleksandry Piłsudskiej. We wrześniu szkoła została przekształcona na Szkołę Męską im. ks. J. Poniatowskiego uruchomiono również Trzyletnią Szkołę Ogólnokształcącą, przeznaczoną dla młodzieży starszej, której okupacja przerwała naukę. W 1946 wznowiono działalność organizacji uczniowskich (samorządu, harcerstwa, spółdzielni uczniowskiej i Polskiego Czerwonego Krzyża). W 1948 dokonano połączenia ze szkołą nr 22 przy ulicy Szymanowskiej 1 (obok Fortu Traugutta). Nowa placówka otrzymała nazwę: Państwowa 11-letnia Szkoła Ogólnokształcąca Stopnia Podstawowego i Licealnego im. Ks. Józefa Poniatowskiego. 18 października 1959 uczestnicy zjazdu byłych wychowanków ufundowali tablicę pamiątkową z napisem "Pamięci Poległych, Pomordowanych i Zmarłych Profesorów, Wychowanków i Pracowników Gimnazjum im. Ks Józefa Poniatowskiego w Warszawie, uczestnicy Zjazdu Byłych Wychowanków – Warszawa 18 X 1959". 1 września 1961 szkołę rozdzielono. Część klas przeniesiono do budynku przy ulicy Konwiktorskiej 1, pozostałe przekształcono na Liceum Ogólnokształcące im. Józefa Poniatowskiego, z siedzibą przy ulicy Szymanowskiej 1. W 1965 zmieniono kierunek ulicy Szymanowskiej, a ulicy przy której obecnie mieściła się szkoła nadano nazwę Mariana Buczka (obecnie Słomińskiego). W dniu 13 maja 1967 roku nakładem wychowanków, komitetu rodzicielskiego i dyrekcji ufundowano nowy sztandar. Został on wykonany według projektu architekta Jacka Cydzika, który jest absolwentem tej szkoły. 18 października 1968 roku podczas święta szkoły zapoczątkowano tradycję składania ślubowania przez pierwszoklasistów. Zwyczaj kultywowany jest do dziś. W 1970 powstał hymn szkolny. Autorem słów jest Andrzej Stankiewicz, ówczesny uczeń klasy 1. Muzykę skomponował Zygmunt Zwyrzykowski. W 1975 szkoła po raz ostatni zmieniła swoją siedzibę. Obecnie zajmuje gmach dawnej szkoły podstawowej przy ulicy Nowolipie 8. W 1978 przedwojenny sztandar szkolny umieszczono w szkolnej Izbie Pamięci Narodowej. Przez okres okupacji był on przechowywany przez kadrę szkoły. W dniu 17 października 1988 uzupełniono nazwę szkoły dodając tytuł patrona i odtąd szkoła nazywa się Liceum Ogólnokształcące nr V im. Księcia Józefa Poniatowskiego. Szkoła dysponuje pełnym archiwum ze wszystkich lat swojej działalności.

Biblioteka
Biblioteka szkolna rozpoczęła działalność w 1934 z księgozbiorem liczącym kilkadziesiąt książek. Po wojnie księgozbiór wynosił już 600 pozycji, zaś w 1951 r. 1600 tomów. W 1971 książki zostały podzielone na działy, według Uniwersalnej Klasyfikacji Dziesiętnej. W 1998 biblioteka otrzymała pierwszy komputer i rozpoczęła katalogowanie księgozbioru w  programie bibliotecznym MOL. W roku 2000 z pomocą uczniów szkoły zakończono tworzenie bazy danych. W 2001 uczniowie otrzymali karty biblioteczne ze zdjęciem oraz kodem kreskowym. W tym samym roku biblioteka uzyskała dostęp do internetu. Od października 2002 uczniowie uzyskali możliwość korzystania z bibliotecznej pracowni informatycznej z dostępem do internetu. W 2003 biblioteka wzbogaciła się o zbiory prywatne Ewy Beaty i Mirosława Sosnowskich oraz prof. Magdaleny Fikus. Aktualnie księgozbiór liczy 18000 książek, 22 tytuły czasopism, kasety video, płyty DVD oraz literaturę angielskojęzyczną.

Wolontariat
Na terenie szkoły od 28 października 2004 roku działa wolontariat (tzw. VoLOntariat). Rozpoczął działalność z 43 osobami, liczba ta systematycznie rośnie. Wolontariuszami są także osoby spoza V LO, w których liceach nie ma takiej inicjatywy.

VoLOntariat zajmuje się pomocą potrzebującym, zarówno finansową jak i np. organizacją pokazów chemicznych, jasełek czy zbiórki ubrań.

Wolontariat organizuje również Doroczny Uczynek Charytatywny (tzw. DUCH) trwający trzy dni, podczas których odbywają się pokazy artystyczne, filmowe, kabaretowe, sportowe, koncerty, oraz licytacja połączona ze zbiórką pieniędzy dla potrzebujących. Imprezę tę swoją obecnością do tej pory uświetnili Katarzyna Figura, Agata Młynarska, Conrado Moreno, Katarzyna Glinka, Artur Barciś i Muniek Staszczyk.

Twenty-five years ago, Littman observed then, as now, how Hamas was "operating mainly in Gaza—but also in the West Bank—in collaboration with PLO [Palestinian Liberation Organization] groups." David Littman concluded by excoriating alleged "peacemakers," whose delusions about Hamas' openly professed ideology are still wreaking calamitous consequences, repeated by their equally witless policymaking successors today.
These realities cannot be brushed aside simply because they are embarrassing, but should rather serve as a serious warning to the gullible for whom an appeasing, misguiding, "peace in our time," will-o'-the-wisp remains a constant obsession.
Unfortunately, Hamas' views on the jihad against Israel, and Islamic Jew-hatred, are entirely concordant with those of the most authoritative religious educational institution within Sunni Islam-Al Azhar University, in Cairo, Egypt. Consider two complementary fatwas, one written January 5, 1956, by then grand mufti of Egypt, Sheikh Hasan Ma'moun, and another January 9, 1956, signed by the leading members of the Fatwa Committee of Al Azhar University—Sunni Islam's Vatican—and the major representatives of all four Sunni Islamic schools of jurisprudence. These rulings elaborated the following key initial point: that all of historical Palestine—modern Jordan, Israel, and the disputed territories of Judea and Samaria, as well as Gaza—having been conquered by jihad, was a permanent possession of the global Muslim umma (community), "fay territory"—booty or spoils—to be governed eternally by Islamic law.
Although free of eschatological references, the January 1956 Al Azhar fatwas' language and arguments—pronounced from Sunni Islam's most esteemed religious teaching institution—are otherwise indistinguishable from those employed just over three decades later by Hamas (in its 1988 covenant), revealing the same conjoined motivations of jihad, and conspiratorial Islamic Jew-hatred. Furthermore, espousing these ugly Islamic religious teachings at Al-Azhar has continued unabated over the intervening six nearly decades, till now. Al-Azhar's two most recent spiritual leaders, Grand Imam Muhammad Sayyid Tantawi (who held that position from 1996-2010), and his successor, current Grand Imam, Ahmed al-Tayyeb, have reinforced this ignoble tradition of promoting jihadism and Islamic Jew-hatred directed at Israel, and Jews, generally.
It will be hard enough to strive for the creation of stable, democratic states in the Middle East even without widespread conspiracy theories and the Hamas genocidal charter – a charter denounced neither by Muslim spiritual and political leaders nor by the United Nations…if Hamas refuses to scrap its genocidal charter and renounce the ideology of jihad-war – there can be no possibility of serious progress toward a Middle East peace, with two states coexisting side by side.
Littman's nearly quarter century of appeals and admonitions having gone entirely unheeded, the global community must now grapple with the bloodthirsty, Jew-annihilationist aspirations of an unreformed Hamas. Israel's continuing Operation Protective Edge is an eminently just and reasonable response to the unconscionable menace posed by a Hamas the rest of the world, ignores, appeases, or abets.
