The final battle begins in Earth 2 #26. A massive Boom Tube has opened in space. While Green Lantern attempts to prevent the world being transported to Apokolips, the Wonders of Earth 2 have united with Commander Khan and the surviving World Army forces to attack the facility generating the Boom Tube in Geneva. The young Kryptonian Val Zod must now battle the evil Superman as Earth's fate balances on the edge of oblivion…
Events take a dramatic turn in The Kryptonian: Part 6 as Tom Taylor steers the conflict on Earth 2 towards the mother of all showdowns between the combined forces of this parallel world and the might of Apokolips itself. After last issues extra sized prelude to this main event, Earth 2 #26 wastes no time at all in plunging you right into the thick of the action, with Green Lantern using all his power to stop the world being dragged through the Boom Tube, while Batman leads the charge against Bedlam's base in Geneva, and Val Zod steps up to the plate as Earth 2's new Man of Steel to confront the wrath of Superman, the former protector of this world, now transformed and resurrected by Apokolptian science as Darkseid's crazed Herald.
Tom Taylor rounds off the current Kryptonian storyline in Earth 2 #26, with an issue that's positively bursting at the seams with action, as we see Val Zod embrace his destiny as the new Superman of Earth 2. Faced with an army of Parademons and Warhounds standing between them and the complex housing the source of the Gateway threatening the world, Batman forms a plan with Aquawoman, Flash, Hawkgirl, Major Sato, and Commander Khan's forces to breach the facility so they can free Mr Terrific, Terry Sloan, Mr Miracle, from Bedlam's mind control and shut down the device they've been forced to build.
Earth 2 #26 certainly has more than its fair share of action, and Tom Taylor does an excellent job maintaining the pacing and structure of this issue while balancing all the characters and big action set-pieces. Its great to see all the Wonders of Earth 2 working together as a team, there are some great moment of characterisation as well, along with a couple of surprising plot twists that few of us could have seen coming either. Unfortunately there's no sign of Dr Fate this issue, which is a shame really, as it would've been great to see him take part in the battle.
The scenes in Smallville, where Lois and Martha are still reeling after Superman killed Jonathan Kent, as the young Jimmy Olsen continues monitoring the global situation from Amazonia are handled really well. Tom Taylor has written some really strong roles for all the female characters of Earth 2, especially Lois Lane, her resurrection as the Red Tornado was an inspired move by Taylor, and her role proves even more crucial now following the events at the Kent's farm. Aquawoman is another great character, regal and powerful, Queen Marella dominates every scene she's in. The way she puts Commander Khan in his place when she arrives in Geneva is priceless, dismissing Khan's greeting with hardly a glance, and her clash with Bedlam leaves us with no doubt that the Queen of the Sea is a mighty force to be reckoned with.
Ever since the Superman returned from the dead as the crazed Herald of Darkseid and Val Zod was discovered in Arkham Asylum, the inevitable showdown between these two Kryptonian powerhouses has been the major event that we've all been waiting for. One of the four Krytonians that Lara and Jor-El sent into space before Krypton was destroyed; Val Zod was then hidden in Arkham Asylum by Terry Sloan. It's been fascinating to see Val's character progress over the course of this storyline, as his new friends Jimmy Olsen and Red Tornado helped Val overcome his agoraphobia and he learned how to use his powers. Now his journey has come full circle. Val Zod's confrontation with the evil Superman is the undoubted highlight of this issue as Val's vow of pacifism clashes with the raw power and ferocity of Superman's wrath.
Nicola Scott's art is as superb as everything we've come to expect from her work on this series. Earth 2 #26 contains so many artistic highlights that you will be completely immersed and swept away by the sheer spectacle of it all. Nicola Scott has excelled herself with this issue, along with inker Trevor Scott, and colorist Peter Pantazis, every page is so vividly detailed and crammed with action: from the Warhound flattening Bat-Punch, to the epic scale of the ground battles themselves, and the conclusion of Val's showdown with Superman, this issue of Earth 2 has it all.
Earth 2 #26 is also Nicola Scott's final issue. Nicola Scott has been with Earth 2 since issue #1, she has brought so much to this series, creating the distinct look and style of this parallel world, its technology, and of course its heroes. Nicola Scott's contribution to this series has been outstanding, and I look forward to her future projects.
So, with Nicola Scott's departure, a new era of Earth 2 is set to begin. First off we will discover what happens during the major clash of worlds in Futures End, followed by a glimpse five years into the future, with September's special tie in issue Earth 2: Futures End #1, before Earth 2 #27 hit's the shelves (Oct 8th) and the new DC Comics weekly series, Earth 2: Worlds End, debuts in October. Earth 2 #27, written by Tom Taylor, also sees Marguerite Bennett joining the main series as co-writer, (Taylor and Bennett are also part of the writing team on Earth 2: Worlds End), with Andy Smith taking over as Earth 2's series artist.
While not quite living up to the promise of the great cover by J.G Jones and Paul Mounts, Earth 2 #26 is still an excellent issue. Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott have wrapped up this storyline up in fine style, with its brilliantly staged action, beautiful final page, and intriguing epilogue, the possibilities for the future look very promising indeed….
Batman, DC Comics, Earth 2, Earth 2 #24, Eber Ferreira, Eddy Barrows, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Parademons, Pete Pantazis, The Beguiler, The Flash, The New 52, Tom Taylor
Review by Paul Bower
Faced with impossible odds as the Parademons attacked, Batman initiated the Batcaves self destruct system. Sandman arrived to teleport Batman and the others to safety, while Green Lantern and Hawkgirl elected to remain in Gotham. As the heroes of Earth 2 are reunited with Commander Khan and the surviving World Army forces, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl embark on a dangerous mission to find the Flash and rescue him from the Beguiler.
Tom Taylor keeps the action and suspense building as Earth 2 #24 follows on from last issues explosive cliff-hanger. The Kryptonian Part 4 charts the aftermath of the battle as the dust begins to settle over Gotham. The news of the second wave of Parademons sudden demise in Gotham quickly spreads to the forces of Apokolips. However, as Bedlam relays the news, the Beguiler has other, more pressing concerns to attend to.
These opening scenes with Beguiler and the Flash are terrific, even though Jay Garrick has to endure being tortured; he still manages to verbally spar with his skeletal tormentor. It seems ages since we last saw Jay Garrick, so it's good to seem him back. Meanwhile, in the ruins of Gotham, Green Lantern and Hawkgirl emerge from the carnage where Green Lantern quickly sends his hapless Parademon prisoners packing back to their masters with a killer punch line, and it soon becomes clear why he asked Hawkgirl to remain with him.
Sadly, not everyone managed to survive being extracted from the Batcave. Now with Amazonia, the former home of the Amazons, serving as the last refuge for Commander Khan and the surviving forces of the World Army, the heroes of Earth 2 must take stock of what happened. Batman's rage at Val is almost palpable here, infuriated that the young Kryptonian was unwilling to use violence to help defend them, the tables are suddenly turned on the Dark Knight when a furious Jimmy Olsen confronts him. Tom Taylor has really excelled himself here, it's a brilliant little scene, with dialogue so tautly honed to perfection, that your jaw will hit the floor with the unflinching clarity of Jimmy's argument and the wealth of potential it presents for the future.
Eddy Barrows steps in for Nicola Scott to provide the art for Earth 2 #24, together with inks by Eber Ferreira, and the superb work of colorist Pete Pantazis, this issue is as visually impressive as we have come to expect from this series. From the ominous scenes where the Beguiler tortures the Flash, we blaze a trail across Gotham's ravaged skyline, the action packed mission to save the Flash is brilliant, and this issues final page is simply awesome! Eddy Barrows has done a terrific job with Earth 2 #24; encompassing the global scale of events as the action unfolds at an incredible pace that makes great use of all the locations and characters.
Green Lantern and Hawkgirl also play a pivotal role in Earth 2 #24 as they attempt to rescue the Flash. I've always liked the dynamic between this parallel world's first trio of "new wonders", and it's great to see them reunited at last. I especially like how well Green Lantern and Hawkgirl work together, Green Lantern may have the raw power necessary to get them into enemy territory, but it is still Hawkgirl's tracking skills, judgment and sound reasoning that makes her such an invaluable ally.
While certain plot points from last issue are left hanging for now, Earth 2 #24 still has more than enough stand out moments and excellent character development to make up for it, and the cover by Philip Tan and Norm Rapmund is also a real stunner!
Apokolips, Batman, Darkseid, DC Comcs, Dr Fate, Earth 2, Earth 2 #22, Green Lantern, Hawkgirl, Nicola Scott, Pete Pantazis, Red Tornado, Superman, Tom Taylor, Trevor Scott
Things look bad for Earth 2 as the forces of Darkseid continue their attack on Earth 2, all hope seems lost, but suddenly a light begins to shine in these dark times when Green Lantern is reborn from the ashes of defeat. Having taken refuge in the Batcave, the remaining wonders can only wait as, Val, the young Kryptonian they saved from Arkham, learns to use his powers, with the hope that he will help them fight the evil Superman. Now that Darkseid's herald has learned of Val's existence he sets out for Gotham with a squadron of Parademons, determined to crush the young Kryptonian and deal with Batman's sudden return…
Tom Taylor beings us right back to the moment where Green Lantern was beaten to a bloody pulp by Superman in Dherain, as Earth 2 #22 transports us back into the inferno unleashed by Steppenwolf's demise at Superman's hand. The power of Green Lantern was given to Alan Scott by the very essence of the planet itself, now that same power suddenly returns to bring him back from his death in the raging heart of the terrifying maelstrom of Godfire that consumed him and gouged a massive scar across the surface of the world.
Green Lantern's resurrection is stunningly crafted; Nicola Scott's art elevates this scene to an epic scale, as Alan Scot returns from the ashes and bones of Dherain's destruction. It's a powerful and striking image, with skulls bathed in the glow from Green Lantern's power ring carpeting the ground for as far as the eye can see. Perfectly accentuated by Trevor Scott's inks and Pete Pantazis' bold colors, this moment gets Earth 2 #22 of to a rousing start.
We then check out what's happening back at the Batcave, as Red Arrow and Jimmy Olsen try to make sense of Dr Fate's ramblings, and Red Tornado continues to advise Val as his Kryptonian powers begin to develop. I really like how Tom Taylor has made Lois Lane such a pivotal character in this storyline. The Kryptonian Part 2 continues to see Lois adjusting to her new life in the android body of the Red Tornado, there is an especially moving scene when she is taking to Val, and she catches sight of herself in a mirror. Its scenes like this that really makes Earth 2 something very special indeed and the poignancy of this moment remains with you long after the issue is over.
Tom Taylor keeps things bubbling away at Bedlam's science facility where Mr Terrific, Terry Sloan, and Mr Miracle have been captured and forced into helping build a boom tube capable of transporting Earth 2 through space. Superman quickly learns about the circumstances behind Val's arrival on Earth – as well as his fellow Kryptonian's full name – and how Terry Sloan's kept the young Kryptonian hidden in Arkam's basement in a secret cell. Furthermore the herald of Darkseid soon discovers what he perceives to be an even greater threat as Bedlam replays the images gathered from Arkham by the Parademons.
My favourite scene in Earth 2 #22 is where Lois / Red Tornado and Val leave the cave. Having spent his whole life in Arkham, the young Kryptonian is gradually overcoming his agoraphobia. Here we witness the pure joy as he discovers the wider world outside the Batcave, his senses evolving with each passing moment, before taking to the skies with the Red Tornado. Here we get to see that Earth 2 is much more than the all-out-action of previous issues, as Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott deliver a delightfully simple, yet wonderful moment, one that sparkles with awe and laughter as Val makes his first tentative attempt at flight.
The joy of Val's first flight is short lived as the Parademon horde rapidly approaches Gotham; fortunately Hawkgirl is around to warn them. Earth 2 #22 wraps things up in style as the Parademons begin their attack. With the Red Tornado and Hawkgirl up against impossible odds, the bone crushing finale moments hurtles towards you before setting up the potentially game-changing confrontation we've been waiting for.
Overall this was a really good issue, with some fabulous character development, and plenty of action to keep us on the edge of our seat. While its been intriguing to guess what Dr Fate's ramblings are about, he makes a very sad sight this issue, forlornly gazing at the cracked Helm of Nabu and mumbling in the corner of the Batcave. I just hope Tom Taylor brings Dr Fate back to normal soon. He's a great character with so much potential and it's been a shame to see him reduced to this state, especially for so many issues.
So, this is another great issue then by Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott. Earth 2 #22 certainly seems to be setting things up for something really big, especially given Alan Scott's resurrection and this issues cliff-hanger ending.
Earth 2 Annual #1 Review
Batman, Cafu, Cam Smith, Captain Steel, Commnader Khan, DC Comics, Earth 2, Gotham City, James Robinson, Julis Gopez, Major Sonia Sato, Mr Miracle, Pete Pantazis, Steppenwolf, The Atom, The New 52
Earth 2 Annual #1
The new Batman of Earth 2 finally makes his debut in this months Earth 2 annual #1, while the World Army gears up to confront the return of Steppenwolf from his stronghold in Dherain. James Robinson draws together many ongoing plot threads, setting the stage for the next challenge the New Wonders of Earth 2 must face.
Following a lead that takes him to Cambodia, the Atom goes undercover in Phnom Penh to find a war criminal, Henri Roy, who runs a lucrative black market operation dealing in high-tech weaponry and cybernetic enhancements. The Atom allows himself to be captured so he can get to Henri Rory, unaware that a new Batman is watching from the shadows. As soon as Captain Pratt turns into the Atom he is attacked by the bodyguards, and then Henri Roy himself, after he dons a battle suit.
The Atom manages to defeat and capture Henri Roy, with some unexpected help from Batman, before meeting up with Major Sonia Sato. It turns out that the war criminals son, Henri Roy Jr, was the one who told them where his father was. He decides to join the World Army, in an attempt to make up for what his father has done, and to find an explanation for the terrible headaches that he used to suffer from. Major Sato then informs the Atom that Steppenwolf is now the ruler of Dherain.
After a short interlude on the Sentinel (The World Army Central Intelligence Hub) where Commander Khan sends Captain Steel to investigate one of the fire pits caused by Sloan in Rio, we rejoin the Batman as he fights Mr Icicle in Colmenar Viejo, Spain. The new Batman of Earth 2 is hunting a being known as Kanto, the Assassin of Apokolips, who helped enhance humans like Mr Icicle during the Apokolips War. Batman has learned that Kanto is calling in his markers to those he empowered, intending to uses them in some new plan he is devising. After dealing with Mr Icicle and questioning him, Batman decides its time for him to find out more about Hawkgirl.
Over in the ruins of Gotham City, where the world once reeled from the fiery wrath of the Agonists, mutated monsters now roam this desolate place. It is here that Mr Miracle and Barda have been since they escaped from Steppenwolf. They are searching for the mysterious new Batman and the cave he reportedly dwells in. Mr Miracle is worried that the time Barda has spent hunting mutants could have revealed their location to the World Army, he want to move on, but before they can act Barda is suddenly attacked by Fury.
Earth 2 annual #1 is another great instalment of Earth 2 by James Robinson. As well as introducing the new Batman, the spotlight initially falls on the Atom and his secret mission to Phnom Penh. We get a much greater insight into the character of Captain Pratt, as he recalls events leading up to the nuclear explosion that created him, as well as having to come to terms with being the only survivor from his platoon and his new found powers.
The artwork for Earth 2 annual #1 is shared by Cafu and Julis Gopez, with Cafu and Cam Smith on inks, and Pete Pantazis on colours. Their work on this first Earth 2 annual is excellent, especially during the scenes where Captain Pratt reflects on the past, and the moment where he becomes the giant sized Atom and pursues Henri Roy's robotic suit across the rooftops.
It was also good to see many of the supporting characters again, including Commander Khan and Major Sato, as well as introducing Captain Steel and the new subplot involving the fire pits. We also get to see Mr Miracle and Barda exploring the ruins of Gotham City, before they are attacked by Fury who has been sent by Steppenwolf to find them.
The hype surrounding the new Batman has helped build expectations for Earth 2 annual #1, and the cover by Andy Kubert and Brad Anderson is really striking. While most of the plot is actually centred around the Atom and his mission, when the new Batman does appear, it's done with incredible style. He swoops in to take out the reinforcements attacking the Atom, before sneaking back into the shadows, where he listens in on the news that Steppenwolf has announced his presence in Dherian. We then follow Batman as he searches for information about Kanto, the Assassin of Apokolips, and fights one of the augmented humans he created in the war, Mr Icicle.
The identity of the new Batman remains a mystery for now, his search for Kanto will no doubt bring him into contact with the rest of the New Wonders of Earth 2 soon enough, and I look forward to seeing how his story develops in the main series. Sadly writer James Robinson has announced that he is leaving Earth 2 as of issue #16, and will no longer be working for DC Comics. This news came as something of a shock to fans of the series, and his successor will certainly have a lot to live up to. Despite the news of Robinson's departure, Earth 2 annual #1 is still an exciting issue, full of intense action and it sets up terrific a closing scene that will be continued next week in Earth 2 #13.

In 1976, Whitfield Diffie and Professor Martin Hellman published New Directions in Cryptography, a seminal work that laid the grounds for modern security systems, online privacy and e-commerce as we know it. Considering that the pioneering pair envisaged a world that was so far advanced from anything possible at the time, the scale of their vision's accuracy over four decades later is nothing short of incredible.
For their irrefutable contributions to security, intelligence, the world of business and modern internet culture, on March 1 the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) awarded Diffie and Hellman the 2015 ACM Turing Award. Often referred to as the 'Nobel Prize of computing', the prestigious accolade is the highest honour for those in the field.
"Most members of our community do remarkable things during their careers. Some do truly groundbreaking and impactful things, and those special individuals are recognised through the ACM Turing Award", explained Alexander Wolf, President of the ACM and Professor of Computing at Imperial College London. The pair's new approach to cryptography was so significant that a whole new academic discipline was founded off the back of it, together with thousands of careers in the subsequent decades.
The $1m prize, which is partially funded by Google, will be shared between the two, who both intend to continue their respective work. Hellman has spoken about continuing his study of nuclear security, as well as co-authoring a new book about peace and sustainability with his wife, while Diffie plans to fill a current gap in the discipline and compile a detailed history of cryptography.
By the time of the Second World War, cryptographic machines were widely used, which led to significant (mostly secret) developments in mathematical and practical cryptography. Thanks to the lapse of time required for declassification, far more is now known about this period than ever before. This includes the work of Polish scientists Marian Rejewski, Jerzy Róžycki and Henryk Zygalski during the 1930s in decoding 'Enigma', the electromechanical rotor cipher system used by the Nazis to encrypt secret communications. Their work was then carried on by Alan Turing, the namesake of the ACM's prominent prize, which led to various other breakthroughs in variants of the Enigma system.
A major advance then took place as a result of Claude Shannon's 1949 paper Communication Theory of Secrecy Systems and his subsequent book Mathematical Theory of Communication. However, although these works effectively established a theoretical foundation for cryptography and cryptoanalysis, the discipline soon disappeared back into the realm of secret intelligence, and nothing new appeared (at least publicly) until the 1970s.
"The notion of encrypting information with a 'key' had been around for centuries by the time [Diffie and Hellman] began their work", said Wolf. Prior to Diffie and Hellman's discovery, the symmetric key cryptosystem that was critical to national security agencies involved the same algorithm being used by both sender and recipient. This system required that all relevant parties had access to it, as well as a specific key, which made exchange highly problematic. With the addition of further parties, the challenges were magnified.
"Think of it as a special language or set of codewords that communicating parties agreed upon to support secure communication", said Ryan Rubin, an MD at Protiviti. "The challenge was how to get these parties to agree on the secret key prior to their secure communication." As has been so often portrayed in films, couriers with a briefcase handcuffed to their wrists, carrier pigeons or clandestine meetings in dark doorways often made the process unmanageable and unreliable.
The Diffie-Hellman (DH) Key Exchange offered a new approach that was controllable by means of an asymmetric system and thus more secure than previous methods that relied on pre-shared symmetric keys. Using a pair of keys that were different from one another yet mathematically related, it became possible to have a public key for encryption and a private key for decryption. Importantly, the public key could not be used to decipher the private key, even through computer-generated calculations and despite the two being interrelated.
"DH thus enabled two parties to communicate securely with each other without them prearranging a secret key, thereby enabling the parties to share a common secret over an insecure communication channel, which is critical for all secure communication, for example on the public internet", Rubin said. Moreover, only one pair of keys is needed for communication per participant, despite the number of recipients that may be involved, making widespread distribution of highly secure cryptosystems possible for any individual or organisation.
Digital signatures are another key feature of today's secure communication channels that were introduced by Diffie and Hellman. By reversing the process sequence order, the pair showed digital signatures could be used to detect if a message remained unchanged by the legitimate sender. Unlike written signatures, which stay intact even if the contents of a letter or cheque are altered, maintaining the integrity of the message and detecting whether it has been tampered with becomes easier to achieve when using digital counterparts. This offers more reliability in transmitting uncompromised information, as well as increased accountability for the person that has transmitted it.
This development was crucial in modern computer security, trusted computing, and personal data protection; for example, digital signatures used to validate digital certificates enable a web browser to verify that a financial institution is legitimate when banking online. Similarly, software can be digitally signed or sealed by authorised and approved software developers, enabling software companies and their consumers to verify the authenticity of a code and, for example, ensure that only Apple-approved software is downloaded and run on an iPhone.
Unsurprisingly, the 1979 revolution in cryptography, given the implications for both business and personal privacy, was met with a huge backlash from the US National Security Agency. Prior to Diffie and Hellman's public discovery, the discipline was very much confined to the realm of secret agencies, and was used as another form of weaponry between nations. Placing such a precious tool in the hands of everyday people repositioned a great deal of power against security agencies and their respective governments. In fact, the use of cryptography was so controversial that various states tightly restricted its export. Most notably, the export of cryptography keys longer than 40 bits was prohibited in the US right up until 1996.
Despite the leaps and bounds achieved in technology, the controversy surrounding cryptography has not ebbed since Diffie and Hellman published their instrumental paper – it has actually become even more complex. Tech companies, legal professors and NGOs are making a stand for privacy and against the invasion of it by governmental organisations – regardless of their reasons for doing so. Essentially, the use of cryptography is an issue that greatly affects every individual and user of technology, which makes Diffie and Hellman's paper all the more astonishing. "When they published New Directions in Cryptography in 1976, they imagined a future world where people would regularly communicate through electronic networks; this was by no means obvious at the time, although ubiquitous now", said Wolf.
With so many uses and possibilities, cryptography is an almost sacred tool in the continued advancement of technology and, in essence, the human race. It is vital in our everyday lives and in protecting everything that is critical to our individual and universal success. Undoubtedly, there are parties who use this sophisticated level of encryption to carry out heinous crimes and bring danger to the innocent. And yet, unfortunately, such actions would not cease if privacy was deniable – arguably, they could worsen. Ultimately, attaining the greater good demands the protection of this inalienable right, no matter the associated risks.
Growing more, using less: how does software crop management work?


Life is such an incredible journey to go through, but it can become burdensome in an instant when a disease occurs. The perfect example for this would be the detrimental effects of dementia, the disease that affects the loss of memory, rationality, physical functioning, and social skills of a person due to the death of brain cells. The common outcome of all this is depression, confusion, withdrawal, and sometimes even aggression.
While we can't deny there has been the emerging of numerous treatments over the years, unfortunately we can't say as of yet there is a definite cure for this condition, though there have been recent slight breakthroughs much to the excitement of scientists.
As there are different types of this condition, one can never be sure on its progress or whether there'll be a halt. One thing that is certain, though, is the fact products for dementia can help lessen the impact no matter the type and stage of the condition, and help the patient and care-giver deal with the situation easier. The range of these products is vast, as they are all designed for the purpose of maintaining the safety at home, and creating a familiar home environment for the patient using means such as colour contrast and large orientation signs.
This is the sort of illness that's usually connected with the elderly, 65 years and above to be exact, however there are also cases known as "young onset" dementia where the patients are people belonging to the working population (30-65 years) which goes to show it can happen to anyone.
As scary as it might sound, this condition is becoming so common, it's the second leading cause of death in Australia, with more than 413,106 Australians being affected, and 48.6 million people worldwide. It's undeniable it's destructive for the patients, but it's also painful for their loved ones, considering it affects every aspect of life.
Daily life can become a living hell both for the patient and the care-giver, but thankfully we live in an era of innovations, so we can count on the help of products for dementia. Since it disrupts basic habits, such as feeding, maintaining personal hygiene, and using the bathroom, you can rely on meal trolleys, glow in the dark toilet seats, over toilet aids, bottom wipers, and tap turners to lessen the degree of the burdens of dementia, and help loved ones who suffer from this condition feel safe and less helpless.
If one of your loved ones has been affected by dementia, along with acquiring these necessary aids, it's important that you understand what people with dementia go through, so you can better deal with the emotional pain and not get frustrated when the disease progresses.

"Say you're sorry." Many of us received this demand as a child, and we may have followed our parents' insistence on saying the words even if we didn't really mean the apology sincerely. While our childhood apologies may have lacked sincerity, as we grow and mature, we ideally move up through Kohlberg's theory of moral development, and we learn how to apologize in a heartfelt fashion.
Sadly, it seems many celebrities hit a roadblock on the moral development highway. As celebrities and other public figures serve as role models, shoddy apologies from the A-List set encourage others to mimic their bad behavior. This new year, my fondest wish is for those walking the red carpet to set a better example by learning how to apologize gracefully and correctly.
Some celebrities prove the theory that having money and fame can equate to bad behavior. In fact, there are quite a few notable people who really need to learn how to apologize.
Consider celebrity chef Paula Deen. She carelessly dropped the "N" word in a deposition and publicly posted pictures on social media featuring relatives wearing "brownface." The apology she issued was so lackluster, her show was canceled and her career completely derailed as a result.
Outrage also swept the LGBTQ+ community when actor Kevin Spacey tried to draw a correlation between sexual orientation and pedophilia. Spacey stood accused of groping a teenage boy. Not only did his so-called apology anger those of us with even a hint of common sense or compassion, but he has yet to face any consequences other than being ousted from his role on Netflix's House of Cards.
Kevin Hart recently refused to apologize for a series of homophobic tweets, and who can forget all the pitiful apologies that came in the wake of the #MeToo movement? Even in an era during which many companies and organizations have begun taking serious measures to eliminate workplace harassment, the lessons of #MeToo and #TimesUp still seem to fall on deaf ears when it comes to those who truly need to hear them.
What Makes a Proper Apology?
Many of us believe apologizing means simply saying the words, "I'm sorry." But a sincere, quality apology contains much more than that. Any right and proper apology consists of three elements.
The first step of apologizing involves expressing sincere remorse for your actions. People can sense another person's lack of sincerity, so acting authentically may make the difference as to whether the person you wronged forgives you or not. Simply mouthing the words, "I'm sorry," does little to repair relationships, whereas, "I'm so sorry for [insert thing you did]. I feel embarrassed by how I behaved," can mend far more fences when spoken in a genuinely contrite manner.
Admitting responsibility for your errors makes for the second step of apologizing properly. Here's where many celebrities fail when they issue public apologies — instead of accepting personal responsibility for their wrongdoing, they make excuses and place blame on other people or any host of other factors such as intoxication.
Speaking a sincere apology means little if you continue displaying the same bad behavior. End an apology with a promise to change your ways and avoid similar behavior in the future. And then FOLLOW THROUGH. Even the most generous folks tire of hearing the same apology time and again with no subsequent modification in behavior and become less likely to forgive with each insistence of change.
Not all celebrity apologies fall onto the cringe-worthy scale. Some have mastered perfect apologies, such as Samantha Bee, who apologized sincerely and correctly for calling Ivanka Trump a profane name (although I can't say I blame her, personally!). Most notably, Bee followed all the steps to make a proper apology, including promising to change going forward.
In 2019, I sincerely hope other celebrities learn from Bee's example and issue genuine apologies when they harm someone or a group of people. Young people adapt their behavior to what society deems to be acceptable, and witnessing specious apologies from celebrities lead children to think any harm done to others can be fixed with platitudes. If we wish to build a kinder, gentler society, those we admire need to set better examples.

Options For Realistic Russian Woman Secrets
All women are like girls, but Russian women are like goddesses. Well, virtually. Russian girls's knockout beauty is one of the most widespread stereotypes about them. Although one should admit that the stereotype will not be that far removed from actuality – Russian ladies do pay an inordinate amount of time and attention to how they appear. Carrying your stilettos to take the garbage out? Putting on full makeup just to pop out to the store? Sure, and why not? (We do, by the best way, know why they try this ). And but, it's their boyfriends who should pay for all this beauty, both literally and figuratively speaking.

In one other of the interviews this Russian girl said that she's received continually desired to be hitched. Folks typically assume that the Russian character is chilly and mindless.

Bridal theme: Makovsky loved painting the 17th-century life of the Russian upper class. He created a number of portraits and large work on this matter. Among his work can be The Selection of the Bride within the Museo de Arte de Ponce in Puerto Rico. On this painting, potential brides for the tsar line up and the tsar can select who he desires to marry. The younger girls haven't any say in this because the tsar's phrase is regulation.
GREENE: We're walking now right into a building that is named the Dom Culturi. That's Russian for the Home of Tradition, and it is a old brick constructing that the Babushkas nonetheless use at this time for their live shows, for rehearsals – and we'll get our personal concert at this time, it appears to be like like.
I agree that the youthful generation is extra free and adventurous. But I might say that the ladies who come to worldwide relationship sites are all about marriage and creating a household", otherwise they simply won't be here, so in a way they match the typical Russian bride picture to a T. The ones in search of freedom and experiences aren't frequenting relationship websites.
Most ailing-educated Crimson Military troopers suffered from sexual ignorance and utterly unenlightened attitudes towards women. So the Soviet state's makes an attempt to suppress the libido of its people created what one Russian writer described as a type russian women of "barracks eroticism" which was way more primitive and violent than "essentially the most sordid international pornography". All this was mixed with the dehumanising influence of contemporary propaganda and the atavistic, warring impulses of males marked by fear and suffering.

Franklin's third novel (after Smonk) is a meandering tale of an unlikely friendship marred by crime and racial strain in smalltown Mississippi. Silas Jones and Larry Ott have known each other since their late 1970s childhood when Silas lived with his mother in a cabin on land owned by Larry's father. At school they could barely acknowledge one another, Silas being black and Larry white, but they secretly formed a bond hunting, fishing, and just being boys in the woods. When a girl goes missing after going on a date with Larry, he is permanently marked as dangerous despite the lack of evidence linking him to her disappearance, and the two boys go their separate ways. Twenty-five years later, Silas is the local constable, and when another girl disappears, Larry, an auto mechanic with few customers and fewer friends, is once again a person of interest.
5 words: I couldn't put it down!
What an enjoyable little book!! I am not a fan the "old south and racial problems"... well, not to read them anyway.. I am old enough to have lived through much of it and I don't need reminders of any discrimination.
But this book grabbed me and took off like a shot and never stopped. It didn't take long for me to feel for both of these boys/ men, Silas Jones and Larry Ott, and once that happened I had to keep reading to know how things would turn out.
If you were a good detective (which I'm not) you'd figure out things faster then I did, but it doesn't matter much because the book just reeks with excellent writing and a story wanting to be told.
Tom Franklin, wrote in simple words, and wrote just like you could hear a voice telling the story...I am certainly going to have to check on his other books to see if anything sounds interesting, because I really REALLY enjoyed this book.
"This first major biography of Dickens in nearly 40 years is a winning mix of insight, narrative skill and shrewd judgment," commended PW. As limned here, "Dickens was convivial, loyal, secretive and arrogant, with a 'performance personality' that required applause for self-definition."
When I picked this book up in a used book store for $1.00 I thought "ok, MAYBE one day I will read this".. I couldn't refuse the price!
I'm not sure why I picked it up to read when I did, and I fully expected to be bored with it within a few days and lay it aside... but that didn't happen!
The author, Fred Kaplan, had an excellent style to make things interesting... and so I read on and on until this morning when I finished it!
My mini-fascination with Charles Dickens and Wilke Collins truly began when I read Drood, a historical fiction that made Dickens and Collins both sound interesting and captivating. Since then I read Dickens Christmas Carol (always saw the movie and never read the book), and The Old Curiosity Shop . I also read the Woman in While by Wilke Collins, and a few other fiction books about them both.
This Biography, though long, kept my interest. Dickens didn't lead an adventurous life nor was much of his life spectacular, with the exception of his writing of course, but still the book prevailed. The author managed to merge the biggest truths about Dickens writings and that was that most all his writings had some autobiographical touch to them. Often his father was one of the figures in his books and many times he himself drew things from his childhood to write upon.
I did learn some small things too, like the fact that Dickens had 10 children. One was a miscarriage though and another died shortly after birth. Actually he outlived most of his other 8 children.
I was surprised to find out that he and Wilke had not met earlier in his career, but in fact later, yet still became good friends and even collaborated on some writings.
In the book Dickens moves around quite a bit and begins his "readings" of some of his work, which takes him to come across the pond to America twice in his life . He also separates from his wife later in the book.
A big thing I noticed in the writing is the feeling one gets for the time and place of where Dickens is ..and how doctors have yet to discover how to care for and cure illnesses.
If you want to know about Dickens his biography is a good place to start. But don't pick it up expecting a bunch of "dirty little secrets" or adventure , still I can say I liked the book and I'm glad I read it.
I haven't written a meme in a long time, and there are just so many pond photo's I can post before no one comes to my blog, so when I came across this one I thought I'd "steal it" from Daphne .
Ummm, that would be "Dead Fred" my, very real Steer Skull. I haven't met a whole lot of people with steer skulls.
I have come to really like the name I use for the computer of "DesLily" Other than that I like names that aren't common.
my Cafe Vienna. My Computer. My Television.
I've always had a lot of White around.
I like a man with a good sense of humor. And one that somehow finds some good in everyone.
Same as a man actually.
probably that new car so I wouldn't have to keep fearing when it will break down.
something that would help old people be able to have a better life.
The Hobbit .. probablly because it set me off on reading and I've not stopped since.
That would probably be Bread.
hmmm, maybe pasta of some sort.
A cup of Cafe Vienna.
Dancing with the Stars. NCIS. Bones.
Doctors. But it's not working. When one is old there are ALWAYS doctors!
Life is waaaay tooooo short.
read some. play on my computer some. watch tv some..
Actually I sent out a written note as recently as a week ago.
The Transformation of Bartholomew Fortuno by Ellen Bryson.
Inspired by a vintage circus photograph, Bryson's first novel tells the fictional story of the unusual relationship between two human curiosities from P.T. Barnum's American Museum. Bartholomew Fortuno, the world's thinnest man, is asked by Barnum to keep an eye on his latest acquisition—Iell Adams, the bearded woman, who is kept in seclusion until the impresario can introduce her to the world. Fascinated by her and desiring a transformative experience, Bartholomew falls hopelessly in love with Iell, much to the surprise of his fellow Curiosities. Bartholomew also gets caught in the middle of a war between Barnum and his jealous wife for control of Iell's future. The story culminates at Barnum's birthday party, where Bartholomew is shocked to discover Iell's big secret. Though thin on plot, this work sympathetically conjures up the backstage world of Barnum's museum and the pecking order of his Curiosities, and magically transports the reader back in time to Gilded Age New York.
This is a book one can real quickly. I can't say I loved it but it was a well written story of getting inside "the thinnest man in the world", while feeling somewhat like you are finding out what it was like to be one of Barnum's "freaks".
Bartholomew Fortuno was "a side show" like all the others who worked for Barnum, but he saw his "thinness" as a gift, so he could show others and teach them. But the truth is that the story is really about how Bartholomew fell in love, lost his friends, but found the truth about himself. I don't want to give too many details or I'd ruin the book for anyone who might want to read it.
The disappointing side was that it was a little on the boring side and I didn't get a full feeling of "where I was", or how New York looked like back then. One of the few references to the timeline was that President Lincoln was murdered.
But, as I said it wasn't a bad read and it had that one unexpected twist near the end of the book that was nice. If you ever wanted to delve into a persons life because they were "different", this book does just that.
I am happy that in the first 3 days of January I actually finished a book! However, if I keep reading the book I thought I'd flip thru to see if I want to read it next, it could take most of the month to get thru it!! I'm not sure I'll continue it but I may! It's the Biography of Charles Dickens. I'll decide today if it's the chunkster or another book !

India has 7,000 kilometers of seacoast and shares 14,000 kilometers of land frontier with six nations: Pakistan, China, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, and Burma. India claims a twelve-nautical-mile territorial sea and an exclusive economic zone of 200 nautical miles. The territorial seas total 314,400 square kilometers.
In the mid-1990s, India had boundary disagreements with Pakistan, China, and Bangladesh; border distances are therefore approximations. The partition of India in 1947 established two India-Pakistan frontiers: one on the west and one on the east (East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971).
Disputes over the state of Jammu and Kashmir led to hostilities between India and Pakistan in 1947. The January 1, 1949, cease-fire arranged by the United Nations (UN) divided control of Kashmir. India controls Jammu, the Vale of Kashmir, and the capital, Srinagar, while Pakistan controls the mountainous area to the northwest. Neither side accepts a divided Kashmir as a permanent solution. India regards as illegal the 1963 China-Pakistan border agreement, which ceded to China a portion of Pakistani-controlled Kashmir. The two sides also dispute the Siachen Glacier near the Karakoram Pass. Further India-Pakistan hostilities in the 1965 war were settled through the Soviet-brokered Tashkent Declaration.
In 1968 an international tribunal settled the dispute over the Rann of Kutch, a region of salt flats that is submerged for six months of the year in the state of Gujarat. The following year, a new border was demarcated that recognized Pakistan's claim to about 10 percent of the area.
In 1992 India completed fencing most of the 547-kilometer-long section of the boundary between the Indian state of Punjab and the Pakistani province of Punjab. This measure was undertaken because of the continuing unrest in the region caused by both ethnic and religious disputes among the local Indian population and infiltrators from both sides of the frontier. The more rugged terrain north of Punjab along the entire cease-fire line between India and Pakistan in Jammu and Kashmir continues to be subject to infiltration and local strife (see Political Issues, ch. 8; South Asia, ch. 9; Insurgent Movements and External Subversion, ch. 10).
The 2,000-kilometer-long border with China has eastern, central, and western sections. In the western section, the border regions of Jammu and Kashmir have been the scene of conflicting claims since the nineteenth century. China has not accepted India's definitions of the boundary and has carried out defense and economic activities in parts of eastern Kashmir since the 1950s. In the 1960s, China finished construction of a motor road across Aksai Chin (a region under dispute between India and China), the main transportation route linking China's Xinjiang-Uygur Autonomous Region and Tibet.
In the eastern section, the China-India boundary follows the McMahon Line laid down in 1914 by Sir Arthur Henry McMahon, the British plenipotentiary to a conference of Indian, British, and Chinese representatives at Simla (now known as Shimla, Himachal Pradesh). The Simla Convention, as the agreement is known, set the boundary between India and Tibet. Although the British and Tibetan representatives signed the agreement on July 3, 1914, the Chinese delegate declined to sign. The line agreed to by Britain and Tibet generally follows the crest of the eastern Himalayas from Bhutan to Burma. It serves as a legal boundary, although the Chinese have never formally accepted it. China continued to claim roughly the entire area of Arunachal Pradesh south of the McMahon Line in the early 1990s. In 1962 China and India fought a brief border war in this region, and China occupied certain areas south of the line for several months (see Nehru's Legacy, ch 1; The Experience of Wars, ch. 10). India and China took a major step toward resolving their border disputes in 1981 by opening negotiations on the issue. Agreements and talks held in 1993 and 1995 eased tensions along the India-China border (see China, ch. 9). Sikkim, which became an Indian state in 1975, forms the small central section of India's northern border and lies between Nepal and Bhutan.
India's border with Bangladesh is essentially the same as it was before East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971. Some minor disputes continued to occur over the size and number of the numerous enclaves each country had on either side of the border. These enclaves were established during the period from 1661 to 1712 during fighting between the Mughal Empire and the principality of Cooch Behar. This complex pattern of enclaves was preserved by the British administration and passed on intact to India and Pakistan.
The 1,300-kilometer frontier with Burma has been delimited but not completely demarcated. On March 10, 1967, the Indian and Burmese governments signed a bilateral treaty delimiting the boundary in detail. India also has a maritime boundary with Burma in the area of the northern Andaman Islands and Burma's Coco Islands in the Bay of Bengal. India's borders with Nepal and Bhutan have remained unchanged since the days of British rule. In 1977 India signed an accord with Indonesia demarcating the entire maritime boundary between the two countries. One year earlier, a similar accord was signed with the Maldives.

When it comes to biometric sensors, human skin isn't an ally. It's an obstacle. Researchers are developing cutting-edge methods to overcome this barrier without compromising the skin and its ability to prevent infection and dehydration. By making better noninvasive tests, researchers can open up enormous opportunities in medicine and the fitness industry.
Biosensor stimulates sweat even when patient is resting and cool
One downside to medical sensors that test human sweat: you have to sweat. Sweating from exertion or a stifling room temperature can be impractical for some patients and unsafe for others.
Tricky landing uses fuzzy logic
The buzzword in drone research is autonomous — having the unmanned aerial vehicle do most or all of its own flying.
Wearable captures and senses sweat biomarkers
Sweat derived from eccrine glands in human skin contains valuable information about physiological performance and dysfunction. Importantly, sweat data can be captured discreetly and non-invasively.
Supercapacitors record breaking performance for self-powered wearables
The NSF Nanosystems Engineering Research Center for Advanced Self-Powered Systems of Integrated Sensors and Technologies develops and employs nano-enabled energy harvesting, energy storage, nanodevices and sensors to create innovative battery-free, body-powered, and wearable health monitoring systems.
E-paper displays in consumer electronics
E Ink is the only supplier of electrophoretic displays that are used in e-readers such as the Amazon Kindle.
Electronic Band Aid to measure body performance through sweat
Creating "fuel gauges" for Airmen is the goal of a group of researchers at the 711 Human Performance Wing at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.
Discovery to make solar power less expensive and more efficient
Researchers are reporting early results on a way to make solar-powered panels in lights, calculators and roofs lighter, less expensive, more flexible (therefore less breakable) and more efficient.
Consumer electronic devices are evolving fast and there is a constant need for display technologies with new features. This week we look at e-paper (reflective) display technologies and assess their strengths in the consumer electronics market.

Thankfully, you don't need to have a life-or-death scare to perform those resets in your life. You can liberate yourself from your past. Be thankful for it, for you are who you are thanks to it, and tell it you are going to do things right from now on.
Your past then dies, and becomes memories and wisdom for your present, but is no longer a burden. In a way, you've died too, only to rise as a new person with a more explicit purpose and a different attitude.

Rattner Settles N.Y. Pay to Play Charges for $10M
Steven Rattner, former founding principal of private equity firm Quadrangle Group and former Obama administration "car czar," has agreed to a $10 million settlement of pension pay-to-play charges in New York.
By Fred Schneyer
A news release from New York state Attorney General Andrew Cuomo said the deal with Rattner also called for Rattner to be banned from appearing in any capacity before a public pension fund in New York for five years.
The deal announced Thursday wraps up Cuomo's two pending lawsuits relating to the circumstances surrounding $150 million in investments in Quadrangle from the New York State Common Retirement Fund. The suits alleged Rattner paid kickbacks to help his company land the pension business in 2004 and 2005; Rattner denied wrongdoing.
"The state pension fund is a valuable asset held in trust for retirees and supported by taxpayers," Cuomo said in the announcement. "Through the many cases, pleas and settlements in this investigation, I believe we have been able to help restore and protect the integrity of the state pension fund."
According to the Cuomo announcement, with Rattner's deal, the pay-to-play probe has secured agreements with nineteen firms and five individuals, garnering over $170 million for New York and the pension fund. The investigation has led to eight guilty pleas, including pleas by former Comptroller Alan Hevesi, his chief political consultant, and his Chief Investment Officer.

Paul McCartney Has Curated a Retrospective of His Late Wife Linda's Photographs—See Them Here
The show offers an intimate look into the life of her family.

Linda McCartney, the late photographer who cut a path through rock-and-roll before marrying Beatles bassist Paul McCartney, is getting her first UK retrospective next month.
The show, simply titled "The Linda McCartney Retrospective," is curated by Paul McCartney and their two daughters, Mary and Stella. It brings together dozens of Linda McCartney's photos—from famous portraits of 1960s rock icons to more personal snapshots of her quiet home life with Paul—as well a trove of archival materials being shown in public for the first time, including cameras, her personal magazine collection, and even a diary from the '60s.
After stops at the Kunst Haus Museum in Vienna, the Pavillon Populaire in Montpellier, and the Daelim Museum in Seoul, the show will make its UK debut July 5 at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery in Glasgow.
"Through these images you meet the real mother I knew," Stella McCartney said in a statement accompanying the show's announcement.
"You see her raw and deep talent and passion for her art, photography. Ahead of her time on every level, this mother of four still held her camera close like a companion, she captures the world around her through her eyes and this can be seen on the walls around the exhibition. Her humor, her love of family and nature, and her moments framed with a slight surreal edge."

McCartney, whose maiden name was Eastman, was born in Westchester County, New York, in 1941. After studying art history at the University of Arizona, she was hired as a receptionist and editorial assistant for Town & Country magazine. There, she jumped on an opportunity to photograph the Rolling Stones on a yacht during a meet-and-greet press junket, despite having little photographic training. Impressed with the young photographer's ability to capture her subjects in candid intimacy, the editors ran the images in a spread.
By the mid-1960s, she was taking regular editorial assignments, shooting musicians like Otis Redding, B.B. King, and Jimi Hendrix. In 1968, a photo she took of Eric Clapton appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, making her the first female photographer to land the coveted spot. She met Paul in 1967, just before the release of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The two married two years later and co-formed the post-Beatles band Paul McCartney and Wings in 1970.
"I always used to joke that I ruined Linda's career," Paul McCartney told the Guardian earlier this week. "She became known as 'Paul's wife', instead of the focus being on her photography. But, as time went on, people started to realize that she was the real thing. So, yeah, she eventually did get the correct reputation, but at first it was just blown out of the water by the headline-grabbing marriage."
After a multi-year battle with breast cancer, McCartney died in April 1998.

Paul Butler Associates Ltd provided planning and heritage services in support of a planning application for the mixed-use redevelopment of a site situated adjacent to the Manchester/Salford inner city ring road and the River Irwell.
The scheme will provide a total of 491 residential apartments across four buildings ranging from 8 to 12 storeys. A mix of 1, 2 and 3 bed apartments will be provided in addition to 670 sqm of commercial floorspace, amenity space and car parking.
As well as providing general planning and heritage advice on the project, the Practice prepared a Planning Statement, Affordable Housing Statement, and Heritage Statement in support of the application. The Heritage Statement considered the potential impact of the proposals on the setting of nearby listed buildings and Wilburn Basin itself, which was constructed in 1864 as a mooring point for boats transporting goods in and out of Manchester and Salford.
Despite the scale of the proposals and the site's industrial past, Paul Butler Associates Ltd successfully screened the proposals, which confirmed that the undertaking of an Environmental Impact Assessment would not be required.
The scheme is scheduled for completion during 2016.

Israeli police investigating claims settler shot Palestinian youth near Ramallah.
Israeli police said that the killing was being investigated, while the Israeli military stressed that it was not involved in the incident during which "shots were fired after stones were thrown at an Israeli car".
Route 60, which runs from Beersheba to Nazareth and connects a number of Israeli settlements, is closed to Palestinians in areas of the West Bank. It has seen a number of protests against the restrictions imposed on Palestinians by Israel.
About 500,000 settlers and about 2.5 million Palestinians live in the West Bank and areas near Jerusalem annexed by Israel after the 1967 Middle East war.
Al Jazeera's Sherine Tadros, reporting from the West Bank, said there had recently been a spike in settler violence against Palestinians.
"Many people are saying this is a direct response to what the settlers feel is a threat from the United States that there will be pressure put on the Israeli administration to stop, or at least freeze, its settlement building empire that it's constructed here in the occupied West Bank," she said.
"Many people are saying Palestinian blood has been shed as a price tag, if you like, for the setters to give that message to Prime Minister Netanyahu and his administration that he cannot touch these illegal settlements in the West Bank.
"And if he does try and dismantle them in any way or freeze construction, this will be the result."
In a report published on Thursday, the UN Office for the Co-ordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Palestinian territories said that there had been been at least nine violent incidents involving Israeli settlers in the last week.
Israeli settlers injured five Palestinians, including three children, aged five, nine and 12, in two separate incidents of stone-throwing and physical assault, it said.
Thursday's attack in the West Bank came as Palestinians marked the 62nd anniversary of the Nakba, or Catastrophe, when an estimated 700,000 Arabs were forced to flee the creation of Israel.
Saeb Erekat, the senior Palestinian negotiator, said "the catastrophe continues" for Palestinians.
"In other conflicts, refugee rights have been honoured and respected, including the right of return, restitution and compensation. In stark contrast, however, Israel refuses to even recognise the Palestinian right of return, thus continuing to deny the refugees' basic rights.
"No state is above the law," Erekat said, calling on the international community to end Israeli "beligerence and disregard for international law".
Candle-lit vigils were planned in refugee camps on Friday evening and major demonstrations were scheduled in the Palestinian territories on Saturday, including a march to the grave of the late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in Ramallah.
The Palestinians recently resumed indirect peace talks with Israel, mediated by the United States, but both sides have spoken pessimistically about the chances of tangible results.

Friends Will Be Friends — PSA announced it had struck a new labour agreement with German unions. It includes early retirement and concessions on pay, in addition to (temporary) enforced shutdowns in administrative and engineering office. Will it be enough? I'm simply not convinced that more drastic labour reductions aren't on the way, but maybe I'm too dogged in my beliefs. Perhaps PSA have found the silver bullet solution to victimless structural cost reduction.
Come Together — Changan, FAW and Dongfeng have struck a cooperation agreement. They'll develop new technologies and a shared platform together. This seems like it might have some significance in the long term to me. All three companies should be taken seriously and have ambition. If they execute a shared platform well it could teach western OEMs a thing or two about component sharing.
Back In The USSR — UK politicians squabbled about the future of public transport. The government advocated a market based on-demand model while the opposition and unions shuddered at the dystopian nightmare that is a world without traditional buses. Those who believe that the free market will rule the roost in the future of mobility might want to think about how to win the hearts and minds of people in the corridors of power who take a different view.
Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now? — Denso thinks that quantum computing might hold the key to a central traffic planning system capable of firing off real-time route planning instructions to a swarm of vehicles (driverless or not). It's going to try it out in Thailand.
Implication: The hyperbole in some of the press about Panasonic abandoning Tesla ignored two things: (1) Toyota and Panasonic's existing relationship already covers vehicles such as the Prius, so this is an extension of existing industrial logic; (2) the focus here is cylindrical cells, not the prismatic variety that Tesla and Panasonic have collaborated on so far.
Implication: not only is this yet another sign of the consolidation among UK dealers (there are plenty of smaller deals on a weekly basis we don't normally mention); it also reflects acceptance by established dealers that used vehicle sales are becoming more commoditised…. New car sales will always be different though, right?
Implication: Unfortunately for the opposition and unions, in Ad Punctum's view, Mr Grayling is dead-right in this instance. Not only are local bus services often patchy but they require huge subsidies. Providing that the cost to the user remains the same, operating an on-demand service can actually cost less overall — especially with autonomy. The strong views expressed in the UK show that although many are concentrating on what they see as the compelling economic argument for on-demand travel, there are plenty of import hearts-and-minds that need to be won over.
Implication: Calibration of driver assistance systems joins high-voltage electrification as an area where dealer groups are totally unprepared to properly look after vehicles. In addition to branding concerns for the OEMs, potentially dealers will lose business permanently if they don't properly adapt.

James Wilkinson serving at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan in 2009 (left) and in Birmingham Hospital after being injured in a blast (right).
A summer ball hopes to raise thousands for a cause that supported one veteran and his family after he was blown up in Afghanistan.
On his third tour to Afghanistan, James Wilkinson, who grew up in Nunburnholme, was just metres away from a blast caused by a remote-controlled improvised explosive device.
He suffered serious shrapnel injuries to his abdomen and a severed artery in his leg, among other injuries.
Now his partner, Rebecca Robinson, and his family are hosting a summer ball and huge charity auction to raise funds for Help for Heroes, who have provided them with vital support.
The former Woldgate School pupil joined the Royal Army Veterinary Corps as a dog handler. After the blast, his injuries meant a gruelling three-year rehabilitation programme at the Help for Heroes rehab complex at Headley Court, in Surrey.
James, 30, inevitably retired from the army but, five years on, he still suffers daily with the after-effects of the injury. Among other surgeries and treatments James, who played junior rugby for Pocklington, has had a hip replacement and still suffers from pain in his abdomen and back.
Gemma Cook and Rebecca Robinson are organising a summer ball on Armed forces Day in aid of Help for Heroes after Rebecca's partner James Wilkinson was injured in a blast while serving in Afghanistan.
Rebecca came up with the idea of a black tie ball and charity auction to coincide with Armed Forces Day.
With the help of a friend, Gemma Cook, they have taken on the huge task of organising the fundraiser which will be held at The Royal Hotel, in Scarborough, this Saturday.
Prizes up for auction include a two-night family break in a tipi at Pinewood Park, flight in a microlight and a six-month membership pass to Baron's Gym.
Tickets include welcome drinks and a three-course meal . There will be live music from Grand Theft Audio and a disco.
Rebecca added: "For the people of Pocklington I know it's a long way to travel but please get in touch if you want a ticket or to make a donation to the cause." Tickets are available by calling Rebecca on 07445253691.
