A microchip is a permanent identification device that is roughly the size of a grain of rice. It is implanted under your pet's skin, between the shoulders. In most cases you will not be able to feel the chip, and your pet won't know it's there either. If your pet gets lost, the chip can be scanned in order to identify your pet and retrieve your contact information. With the microchip, you can also register your pet for a lifetime license so they can always find their way back home to you.

Sotheby's Private Sales Drop by Nearly Half
by Andrew Wagner on August 12, 2014 Newswire
In the latest sign of trouble at Sotheby's, artnet News reported that the company's second-quarter report displayed a significant drop in private sales. (As opposed to public auctions, in a private sale, Sotheby's is consigned a work of art and then privately approaches individuals about buying the work.) For the first half of 2014, Sotheby's made $294 million in private sales, as compared with $561 million over the same period in 2013. That's a 48 percentage point drop.
The climate at Sotheby's has been shaky since last fall, when the auction house began a seven-month legal battle with activist investor Daniel Loeb. The battle began when Sotheby's attempted to block Loeb's hedge-fund, Third Point, from boosting its share of the company to 20 percent. The fighting only came to a close when, in May, Sotheby's agreed to appoint Loeb and two others to their Board of Directors, amongst other conditions. But in the lengthy process, as also revealed in the company's second-quarter report, Sotheby's spent more than $24 million on lawyers and other expenses.
Amidst these economic and legal turmoils, Sotheby's has been undergoing an internal restructuring. In July, it was announced that some of the auction house's departments would undergo "modest" layoffs (the exact number was not reported). In a press release, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Patrick McClymont stated that the goal of the restructuring is to "achieve cost savings" while encouraging growth in other areas of the company. This follows the higher profile resignation of "Seller of the Century" Tobias Meyer at the end of last year.
Not all of the news is bad at Sotheby's. The same August 8, 2014 SEC filing indicated that auction sales for the first half of 2014 had increased by 24 percent to $2.7 billion, compared to $2.2 billion for the first half of 2013. And while the earnings from private sales are down by nearly half, the actual number of private sales increased by 40 percent. So, what this means is that Sotheby's has sold more works privately in 2014, just for smaller amounts of money. Given this, Sotheby's is apparently optimistic: In a conference call with investors, Chief Executive Officer William Ruprecht told investors "I don't see any thunderclouds here." But with an eight percent drop in stock following the announcement of Sotheby's quarterly report, thunderclouds might be closer than Ruprecht realizes.

New COVID variant discovered. Protests against fresh Covid-19 restrictions rocked Europe even before the new third strain was discovered of the virus in the past week. Demonstrations already broke out in places such as Brussels, Vienna (Austria entered its fourth national lockdown), Rome and Amsterdam. Austria is the first European country to impose compulsory vaccinations. Police resorted to use of water cannons and firing shots to quell the rioting. Many opposed newly imposed lockdown measures like shutting down of shops after 20:00 and government plans for making Covid passes compulsory (which restrict access to venues like museums and bars for the unvaccinated). Many countries were already reporting a surge in coronavirus incidences with Germany hitting a record high. The World Health Organization (WHO) said it was "very worried" about rising coronavirus cases on the continent and have pressed for measures being tightened across Europe in absence of which half a million more deaths could be recorded by next spring.
On Wednesday 17th November the third variant of the COVID-19 virus was discovered in South Africa leading many nations on Friday to issue safety measures, including banning those travelling from South Africa. On Monday 29th November, the World Health Assembly, the decision-making body of the World Health Organization, will meet in a special session. They will hear that vaccination rates in the six countries now subject to travel bans are still dangerously below the 40% target that was set for December. Whilst the world's richest nations promised to distribute the vaccines to poorer nations, former UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown confirmed: "Western countries are destroying surplus doses of vaccine while the poorest nations go without." The global economy was already struggling with economic growth, global supply chain problems, energy blackouts in China and opposition to vaccines as well as another lockdown during the festive Christmas season. We will be watching for the fall out and its impact at the geopolity.

Erdogan – MBZ meeting. UAE ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed al-Nahyan, one of the Arab world's most influential leaders, met Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the presidential palace in Ankara on Wednesday 24th November. He was visiting Turkey for the first time in almost a decade with commentators calling it a 'landmark moment for the geopolitics of the region'. The Turkish-UAE relationship has been tense for the best part of the last decade when Turkey and the UAE backed different factions in the Arab uprisings in 2011. A number of bilateral agreements were signed in areas of trade, energy and environment, which will improve economic relations between the two nations. Turkey and the UAE have clashed diplomatically for years over their divergent views on political Islam in the region, a competition that has played out in various proxy theaters that included Syria and Libya. Despite all the press releases and statements, little has been revealed on any substantial political issues and we will continue to watch for any agreements on such subnational regional issues.

Turkey currency crisis. Protests broke out in numerous cities over the collapse of the Turkish Lira this past week as the Turkish lira reached 13 Turkish lira to the dollar, which is a new record. In Istanbul and Ankara, protesters called for the government and members of the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) to resign. They also clashed with police in Ankara. Turkey's currency has been in crisis for many years as Turkey's debt is nearly half its GDP and most of it is held in dollars. Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the Turkish lira plunged to all-time lows following the replacement of Central Bank chief Naci Ağbal with Şahap Kavciouğlu. Erdogan has taken effective control of the nation's central bank and turned the institution into another entity to be used for his political agenda. His erratic and short term goals have now grown into the wider economy and his popularity has now reached a point where victory in the 2023 elections looks doubtful. We will be watching the response against Erdogan from his rivals.
Iran-US Nuke talks to resume. After a six-months hiatus the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action Commission will meet on Monday 29th November in Vienna to discuss Iran's nuclear program. Talks were halted as Iran held national elections, and talks now resume amid regional and global concerns over Iranian nuclear program developments made since the JCPOA was signed back in 2015. Many differences remain between the US and Iran which will make progress slow and difficult. We will be watching for any attempts by Iran's new leader wanting to reopen previously agreed terms.
Russia and China agree new military pact. Russia's defence chief on Tuesday 16th November signed a roadmap for closer military ties with China, pointing to increasingly frequent US strategic bomber flights near both countries' borders. During a video call, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and his Chinese counterpart Wei Fenghe "expressed a shared interest in stepping up strategic military exercises and joint patrols by Russia and China," according to the Russian Defense Ministry. The roadmap, capped a year that has seen an unprecedented growth in military cooperation, including large-scale war games in China's Ningxia in August, when Russian troops became the first foreign forces to join a regular Chinese drill, as well as announcements to jointly develop military helicopters, missile attack warning systems and even a research station on the moon. For China, Russia is the biggest supplier of its weapons and the second-largest source of its oil imports. And for Russia, China is its top country trading partner and a key source of investment in its energy projects, including the Yamal LNG plant in the Arctic Circle and the Power of Siberia pipeline, a $55 billion gas project that is the largest in Russian history.
Pakistan's debt gets worse. On Friday 19th November Pakistan's national assembly was informed by the Ministry for Finance and Revenue about the nation's debt situation. In a written answer the department confirmed that Pakistan's external debt and liabilities increased from $95 billion in 2017-18 (When Imran Khan's PTI took power) to $127 billion as of September 30, 2021. The external debt and liabilities jumped up by $32 billion only in the last three years and three months! Not surprisingly Prime Minister Imran Khan said the "biggest problem" is that the government doesn't have enough money to run the country. He added that the rising foreign debts and low tax revenue had become an issue of "national security." All of this takes place as inflation has been in double digit territory for most of the PTI term. Pakistan will be heading into elections in 2023 and the PTI government is already finding its allies jumping ship amid the worsening economic situation.
New German government. Two months since Angela Merkel's CDU suffered one of its worst defeats in government, Germany's center-left Social Democratic Party (SPD), the environmentalist Greens and the pro-business Free Democratic Party have agreed a three way coalition government and will now hold internal votes to ratify the coalition agreement. This brings an end to the 16 year rule of Angela Merkal. The agreements included holding a vote in the Bundestag on the week of 6th December to appoint SPD leader Olaf Scholz as chancellor before the final European Council summit of the year, which will take place in the middle of December. The new government has its hands full with COVID infections increasing and now a third strain identified.

British troops to return to Germany. In a u-turn, the British army is to base hundreds of armoured vehicles in Germany, just over a year after marking its official withdrawal from the country, in a move designed to help bolster Nato as tensions with Moscow over Ukraine remain high. Under plans described as a "radical" restructuring of British land forces, the UK government announced on Thursday 18th November that a Nato base at Sennelager, near the German city of Paderborn, would become one of three new "regional land hubs" for the British army, alongside Oman and Kenya. The move represents a U-turn just over a year after the UK ended a permanent military presence on German soil that had been maintained since the end of the second world war. The closure of the last British army military headquarters in Bielefeld last February was the culmination of a decade-long withdrawal of 20,000 British service personnel from the country. "We are putting a substantial number of our armoured vehicles forward in order to be able to move more quickly should they be required anywhere on the continental [European] land mass," Lieutenant General Ralph Wooddisse, commander field army, said.

Spokesperson of former military leader, Ibrahim Babangida, Kassim Afegbua, has turned himself in to the police. He arrived at the police headquarters at about 11am and was received by the force public relations officer, Jimoh Moshood.
Afegbua was declared wanted by the police on Monday February 5th over the controversial statement he released on the instruction of his boss, Babangida. The former military leader in the statement asked Nigerians not to vote for president Buhari in 2019.
The police declared Afegbua wanted ''for making false statement, injurious falsehood, defamation of character and for act capable of inciting public disturbance throughout the country''.
He is now at the force headquarters. Afegbau yesterday institued a N1 billion lawsuit against the police and others for declaring him wanted without a proper invitation.

Parabellum M1914 (MG14)
Air-Cooled Aircraft Machine Gun [ 1913 ]
The Parabellum MG1914 was the lightened, air-cooled aircraft version of the land-based, water-cooled MG08 machine gun.
The Parabellum MG1914 (alternatively the "MG14") machine gun was of German Empire origination and essentially the lightweight, air-cooled form of the land-based, water-cooled "Maxim Machine Gun" (also known as the "Maschinengewehr 08", detailed elsewhere on Military Factory) intended for German combat aircraft. The design served extensively during the war years 1914-1918 and saw extended lives in the Polish-Soviet War of 1918-1921 where it was used by the Poles. The Latvian Army was another global operator of the weapon with about 115 examples taken into service and utilized into the 1930s.
Design of the machine gun is credited to Karl Heinemann with manufacturing handled primarily by Mauser of Germany.
For its aerial role, the gun was reworked internally to have the toggle system movement turn upwards with a tube set within the wooden stock housing the return spring - resulting in a slimmer overall profile for the gun when compared to its original form. Besides the addition of the shoulder stock, a down-turned pistol grip handle was added with the trigger loop set directly ahead. The weapon was belt-fed by way of drum (or "reel") magazine and the barrel surrounded by a heavily perforated heat shield for maximum cooling of the assembly during sustained fire - as the water-cooled reservoir used in the original gun did was not a possibility on warplanes (the exception being on German Zeppelins (airships) where heat and hydrogen did not mix)). Sighting devices were set over the receiver and just over the muzzle section.
The weapon was chambered to fire the ubiquitous German 7.92x57mm Mauser rifle cartridge through a recoil-operated action, achieving a rate-of-fire of 600 to 700 rounds-per-minute.
Overall weight was 20.9 lb with an overall length of 48 inches, the barrel measuring 27.56 inches long.
In this revised form, the MG1914 succeeded as an aircraft gun where it could be installed as a trainable solution to protect more vulnerable reaches of a fighter or bomber from incoming aerial threats. This usually resulted in the machine gun be mounted to rings to provide the gunner with the needed traversal when engaging moving targets at-range from, itself, a moving platform. Despite its origins in the MG08, the MG1914 was essentially an all-new weapon with no parts interchangeability possible.
In 1917, the MG1914 series was evolved to include the MG1914/17 design which was used in both the air and on the ground. A carrying handle and bipod support structure was added which aided the latter and the barrel shroud was dimensionally smaller. Internally, this version remained faithful to the original aerial form. German infantry deployed with these guns during the critical assaults of 1918.
After the war, the MG1914 series fell out of use with Germany, though it continued on in service with outside parties for a time longer. For its part in The Great War, the MG14 was used in such aircraft types as the Albatros C, Halberstadt, and Rumpler biplanes.©MilitaryFactory.com

GeoVax Announces Collaboration for Development of Sudan Ebolavirus and Marburg Virus Vaccines
ATLANTA, GA, August 13, 2020 – GeoVax Labs, Inc., a biotechnology company developing human vaccines and immunotherapies against infectious diseases and cancer, announced today a multi-party collaboration for the development of Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV) and Marburg virus (MARV) vaccine candidates. SUDV and MARV cause viral hemorrhagic fevers.
The collaboration between GeoVax, researchers at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), and Battelle Memorial Institute, and will utilize the suite of preclinical services from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Under the collaboration, GeoVax's SUDV and MARV vaccine candidates will be tested for immunogenicity and efficacy in the benchmark nonhuman primate model. The studies will include two vaccine regimens – single-dose and prime/boost immunization -- for each vaccine tested. Animals will receive a lethal dose of either SUDV or MARV following corresponding vaccine inoculations and monitored for morbidity and mortality. Additionally, the humoral and cellular immune responses to vaccination will be evaluated in detail. The studies will be funded under NIAID contract no. HHSN272201800131.
David Dodd, GeoVax President and CEO commented, "This exciting collaboration enables us to advance these two critically needed vaccine candidates through nonhuman primate testing. Previously, our novel vaccine against Ebola virus achieved 100% single-dose protection in a nonhuman primate lethal challenge model and we have consistently validated our vaccine platform capability against other infectious pathogens, resulting in vaccine candidates that have demonstrated 100% preclinical protection in a single dose, without the need for adjuvants. Through our HIV vaccine clinical program, our platform has a demonstrated track record of safety and vaccine durability in humans. Such attributes are critically important when developing vaccines against emergent epidemic threats such as SUDV and MARV, which cause death in up to 90% of cases. We are most appreciative of these support services being provided by NIAID, enabling us to advance our vaccines forward in the development process."
GeoVax's Modified Vaccinia Ankara (MVA) platform technology is built on a novel MVA vector system that is improved for high expression and stable transgenes during manufacture. Similar to its parent MVA, it has the advantages of being a live replication-competent vector in avian cells for manufacturing, yet replication-deficient in mammalian cells for vaccination, thus inherently safe for humans. Importantly, MVA vaccines elicit protective T-cell as well as antibody responses in animals and humans. The GeoVax MVA platform can be combined with the potent immunogenicity of virus like particles (VLPs) (insertion of multiple antigens from each pathogen of interest conferring broad protection) or be used to express proteins in their native conformations, enabling construction of vaccine candidates that induce full protection after a single dose. Single- dose protection is a favourable characteristic of preventive vaccines for emerging infectious disease outbreak response, given the speed of spread of pathogens and the impracticality of multi-dose regimens in the under-resourced settings where outbreaks often occur. MVA-VLP vaccine candidates against various virus families (e.g. Ebola, Sudan, Marburg, Lassa and Zika) induced strong antibody and T-cell responses and demonstrated full protection after single-dose vaccinations against lethal challenges.
About Sudan Ebolavirus and Marburg Virus
Sudan ebolavirus (SUDV) is one of six known viruses within the genus Ebolavirus (Filoviridae family) and causes Ebola virus disease in humans, with a fatality rate as high as 71%. Marburg virus (MARV) is a hemorrhagic fever virus of the Filoviridae family, which also includes Ebola, and which causes severe human disease with up to a 90% fatality rate. Both SUDV and MARV are rated by the World Health Organization as a Risk Group 4 Pathogens. In the United States, the NIH/National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ranks them as a Category A Priority Pathogens and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists them as a Category A Bioterrorism Agents. MARV and SUDV typically appear in sporadic outbreaks throughout Africa. The most recent outbreaks of MARV occurred in 2017 in Uganda, Africa, where more than 25% of people infected died. The last SUDV outbreak also took place in Uganda in 2012, killing 57% of people infected. The viruses continue to pose potential public health and biodefense threats. There are currently no licensed vaccines or therapeutics against the diseases caused by SUDV or MARV.
GeoVax's current development programs are focused on preventive vaccines against COVID-19, HIV, Zika, hemorrhagic fever viruses (Ebola, Sudan, Marburg, and Lassa), and malaria, as well as therapeutic vaccines against solid tumor cancers. The Company has developed a preventive HIV vaccine candidate (GOVX-B11) for the clade B subtype of HIV prevalent in the Americas, Western Europe, Japan, and Australia and the clade C subtype prevalent in Africa and India. GOVX-B11 is scheduled for inclusion in an upcoming human clinical trial managed by the HVTN with the support of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). GeoVax's clade B HIV vaccine is also part of collaborative efforts to develop an immunotherapy as a functional cure for HIV.

Whilst the Jewish Tribune and Jewish Chronicle have always been at daggers drawn on extreme oppposites of the community, the latter is also capable of binning letters that don't fit with its politics. Here is one regarding former Ladbroke chairman Cyril Stein's purchase of a house in Hebron which he handed over to the local Jewish community.
Your editorial 'The Wrong Address' dismisses Cyril Stein's purchase of a Hebron property as a 'decidedly unhelpful … empty gesture'. However in your front page report the JNF takes the view that Stein's major contribution to the building of the State should not disqualify him from doing what he feels is right.
Stein made his fortune as a bookmaker. He is clearly betting that Jews have a more legitimate claim in a 4,000 year-old link to the city of their patriarchs than Palestinians who, most eminent historians acknowledge, were never heard of before 1948.
In recent times Israel has given up land in Lebanon and Gaza to be 'helpful'. Those gestures have been repaid with missiles. Perhaps Stein's 'decidedly unhelpful' assertion of Jewish rights will get us something better.
Belief in our own case.
As the mouthpiece of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations, the Stamford Hill-based Jewish Tribune maintained a conspicuous and undignified silence throughout the Neturei Karta affair. It's rumoured that none of its writers are allowed to own a TV so perhaps they genuinely never saw those Chassidim kissing Mr Ahmadinejad in Teheran.
More likely, the screed's rabbinical censors ordered them to ignore it.
But last weekend -more than a year after I first exposed the scandal of Union funding to these kapos - the Tribune finally found its voice.
But instead of finally condemning the mullah-huggers, they attacked me.
Appended below is my response which, doubtless, the Tribune's censors will similarly order its hapless editorial staff to ignore.
" Sir: In 'A Tale of Two News Stories' Ben Yitzchok asks why I have not condemned the treachery of Teddy Kollek as forcefully as I have espoused condemnation of the Neturei Karta.
The equivalence he seeks to draw reveals his basic misunderstanding of my position, which has never been political. Of course I utterly condemn Kollek's sickening betrayal of Irgun fighters 60 years ago. It was a well kept secret that must have haunted him for decades.
In stark contrast the 'Rabbis' of Neturei Karta make no secret of their treachery. They have embraced and kissed Ahmadinejad in the full glare of the world's media and gone on to abuse the cherished memory of millions of Holocaust victims.
Whilst Kollek is gone and likely facing din ve'cheshbon somewhere exceptionally hot, there is little doubt the NK must even now be planning their next Chillul Hashem Berabim. That is what needs to be roundly condemned by your paper. And it needs to be done in plain language rather than as a by-product of scoring cheap political points."
I often think what might have happened if the Tribune and its rabbis had done the right thing a year ago. Had they uniformly condemned the activities of the Neturei Karta and cut them off from financial and other resources of the community, we might all have been spared the awful exhibition in Teheran. Instead they made it official policy to pretend the problem didn't exist.
Someone needs to buy these rabbis a TV.
We pass this 59th Yom Ha-Atzmaut in the wake of a frighteningly serious war and saddled with the most discredited, corrupt and inept government ever seen in the history of the State of Israel.
In the 59 short years since the creation of the State we have seen miraculous development and growth in the country. In terms of population, infrastructure, science and technology, culture and of course its world-beating economy. Israel's economy is bigger than all of her Arab neighbors combined, and notwithstanding her huge defense burden - triple that of the USA and five times that of the UK as a percentage of GDP.
But for all this exponential growth in every conceivable area that we happily record on this 59th Independence Day, there is one vital feature of statehood that has failed to make the grade and has eroded significantly in real terms.
Israel is now more dependent on others than perhaps it has ever been before. Dependent on the USA for its defense and economic aid, dependent on the EU for its trade, dependent on the UN for the few crumbs of legitimacy it ever receives and dependent on the world's left-leaning media for the few breaks it ever gets in balanced reporting. Moreover it is dependent on a handful of lone voices in academia to loyally argue its case and thereby stave off resolutions of boycott and divestment.
It is hard to see Israel ever becoming truly independent until it has the self-sufficiency to spit the world in the eye as the oil-rich pariah states do so well. Until that time, Israel will have to continue to kowtow to world leaders whose foreign policy is based on appeasement, self interest and fear of terrorism being brought onto their streets. Israel will continue to subordinate its security decisions to the political whims of successive American secretaries of state on their whirlwind visits to the region, tearing down vital security checkpoints to prop-up so-called moderates in the enemy camp for another month or until the next congressional election.
Israel has therefore been celebrating an illusion for 59 years.
But whilst true independence continues to elude the State, the Jewish people have never really lost it.
Our people achieved their independence at Mt. Sinai.
That was the time and place where they were chosen by the Almighty in preference to all the other nations on the planet.
Chosen to be different, to hold to a higher set of morals and standards.
Chosen to be the people of the book – the nation of Torah.
And this independence – 'la différence' - is what has singled out the Jews in every generation for envy and hatred by virtually every country and creed you could care to name.
Traditionally the greatest hate had been reserved for the more religious who wore strange hats and clothing – those who so blatantly failed to assimilate in the ways and appearance of their host countries. A people apart. They who clung jealously to their traditions of Sabbath observance and observance of torah and mitzvot.
Those Jews who have assimilated, have lost their identity as Jews and – in the process – have lost that spiritual independence among nations that was gifted at Sinai. If they look, act, eat and behave like gentiles – what will ever make them special other than the purely material standards of wealth and power? What is there left to fight for … or to hand over to the next generation?
Such is the unfortunate predicament of the State of Israel. Its secular leaders crave assimilation amongst the nations of the world. For people like Shimon Peres and Avigdor Lieberman – two coalition members at extreme opposites of the political divide – their most prized ambition is for Israel to become a member of the European Union.
In Jewish terms this would be a disaster!
Peres and Lieberman are savvy enough to know that – for all the extra trade and development grants that would spring from EU membership – there is an awful sting in the tail. The free movement of labor. That, in effect, Israel would no longer be in control of her borders and would be unable to decide who comes to live and work in the country.
On an individual scale, Jews who assimilated have given up the Torah and their special lineage.
Similarly on the national scale, if Israel assimilates into the EU, it will forfeit its position as a Jewish state.
Like the ordinary Jew clinging to his traditions, Israel's independence can only be assured if it strives to maintain its position as a Jewish State – not just as a 'State for the Jews'. This means stubbornly clinging to the land which is ours and our articles of faith.
This is why I personally don't make much ado of Yom Ha-Atzmaut.
For me, Yom Yerushalayim has by far the greater significance.
Those that cleave to Jerusalem.
And those that yearn for Brussels.
The heroism of Israeli Professor Liviu Libresco in placing himself in the line of fire to protect his students at Virginia Tech reminded me of another younger hero in similar circumstances.
On Friday night, December 27, 2002 over a hundred Israeli teenagers and young adults sat down for the Sabbath meal at the yeshiva of Otniel in Judea. Four of the students whose turn it was to be the evening's "waiters" went to serve the main course in the kitchen adjoining the dining room. 23 year old Noam Apter was among them.
Suddenly two terrorists dressed in Israeli army uniforms burst into the kitchen and sprayed the four waiters with fire from their M16's. Hit by the bullets and mortally wounded, Noam used his last strength to run to the door connecting the kitchen and the dining room. He closed it, locked it, and threw the key into a corner. He then collapsed and died, lying against the door.
The terrorists tried to open the door. Seeing it locked, they sprayed gunfire through a small glass window into the dining room. After realizing that this fire was inaccurate and wild (it wounded six more students) and having already killed the four student waiters, the terrorists fled the kitchen, later to be hunted down and killed by the Israeli army.
And whilst on the subject of Gilad Shalit, just consider this.
3o years ago Israeli troops flew 2,200 miles to a foreign country and rescued 80 Jewish civilians in Entebbe within a few days of their capture in an airplane hijacking.
Today - after 9 months - the government of Israel has not been able to organise the rescue of a single lonely soldier from our own back yard!
In Gaza ... an area the IDF has occupied for decades and knows like the back if its hand.
Is it any wonder that our enemies no longer fear us?
That they laugh at us?
That they can only be encouraged to do more of the same?
The prisoner exchange for Gilad Schalit is on-off, on-off.
One has to suspect that Olmert is carefully planning the timing of any exchange to coincide with the publication of any damning conclusions by the Winograd commission. As the politicians say: 'a good day to bury bad news'.
The idea of releasing 1,000 terrorists is utterly reprehensible. Unless of course you happen to be the parent of the kidnapped soldier. And none of us can imagine what it must be like in that position.
But just think of it. Israel extensively trains and sends soldiers like Gilad Schalit into battle to defend the citizens of Israel. Whilst it is by no means certain that Schalit would have saved a single Jewish life in his whole term of army service, it is an absolute certainty that his exchange for 1,000 terrorists will result in at least one recidivist terror attack on some bus, restaurant or other soft target in Israel within the next 12 months. Most likely a lot more.
This is based on research by the terror victims association Almagor that 30 recent terror incidents were perpetrated or planned by prisoners earlier released by Israel.
And even if we are lucky enough to suffer no recidivist killings by those who are released, at the very least, such one-sided exchanges are bound to embolden new terror recruits to more audacious attacks knowing that, if caught, they will never serve a full term of imprisonment and may even enjoy the liberal privileges of Marwan Barghouti who is having a whale of a time in jail.
All of which leads to the inescapable conclusion that, in the context of such a prisoner exchange, Gilad Schalit becomes the exact opposite of a soldier in the Israeli army. Instead of defending the citizens of Israel, his release by such an irrational exchange actually imperils our people. Imagine an IDF soldier turning his gun on his own people!
Compare this with the heroism of Golani trooper Roi Klein who threw himself on a grenade to save members of his unit from certain death.
Olmert does not have the right to create an anti-soldier.
And Gilad does not deserve to be discredited in that way.
Nor to have on his conscience the next batch of recidivist terror victims.
1. Open a new file or folder in your computer.
2. Name it "Ehud Olmert"
5. Your computer will ask you, "Do you really want to get rid of "Ehud Olmert?"
PS: Next week, we'll do Shimon Peres. After that, Amir Peretz. Boundless joy.
Today is Yom Hashoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day in Israel.
Shops are closed, radio and TV stations muted.
At least in some small part of the world there is more than lip service to the torture and ultimate destruction of 6,000,000 souls.
My father was one of the fortunate survivors. However, until his death at the age of 41 - from heart disease contracted in Auschwitz - he used every day of his subsequent freedom to 'tell the story'. To ensure that future generations would know what happened. How inmates of the death camps risked their lives to bake matzah for Pesach and find oil for Chanukah lighting.
If he were living today, I am sure he would be warning all of us not to let history repeat itself. Adolf Hitler set out his clear plans to wipe out the Jews and subjugate the world to his will in Mein Kampf. Few took him seriously. Jews ignored the threat and world leaders like Neville Chamberlain described Herr Hitler as 'an honourable man'.
Ahmad Ahmadinejad has done exactly the same. He says what he means to do and he means to do what he says. And he aims to do so with the help of weapons that will defy even the most powerful coalition when they finally wake up and get mobilised.
The message of Yom Hashoah and all the holocaust memorials around the world is no longer 'Never Again'.
The UK's National Union of Journalists have been bashing Israel again at their annual conference.
During what must have been the lunch break (or a fire drill) there was a 66-54 vote denouncing Israel for its military adventurism in Lebanon and calling for a boycott of Israeli goods on the same basis (and presumably with the same justification) as was used against the apartheid regime in South Africa.
As you may have noticed from my blogs, I have a fascination with timing and the coincidence of events as reported from week to week.
1) Whenever the spectre of apartheid is raised in condemnation of Israel, I always remark that I cannot remember a single black man ever serving in the Verwoerd government.
Curious therefore that in the same week as this loony vote brands Israel as an apartheid state, the lead story in Israel is about an Arab member of the Israeli parliament who has gone AWOL.
2) Also this week we have seen demonstrations by journalists in Gaza calling for the release of BBC correspondent Alan Johnstone, kidnapped by Arab gunmen a month ago.
Perhaps those journalists might reflect that the reason why their dear colleague was kidnapped is because Gaza is a lawless territory of warring gangs. It is so because terrorism has been rewarded with cash from the EU and cajolement from those same journalists, including Johnstone, who play by the PA rules of reporting. That is to say: if you want access to stories and safe passage in Gaza, make sure your postings are sympathetic to our cause.
The National Union of Journalists' vote may well have been directed at appeasing the terrorists and getting Johnstone released. But in the long run it will only endanger others in their profession.
Footnote: Now that I think of it, where were the journalists and their demonstrations after the kidnap and execution of Daniel Pearl?
At a conference entitled "The Sea as an Economic Resource," Shimon Peres says Israel should stop investing in Judea and Samaria and build artificial islands in the Mediterranean instead.
So now we don't need to worry about the Arabs pushing us into the sea.
We'll do it all by ourselves!
Sometimes the more you look into something, the worse it gets!
A few days ago I blogged a piece about George Soros's childhood in Nazi-occupied Hungary and how he confessed no guilty feelings over his family's assistance to the Nazi looting of property belonging to Jews who had been sent to the gas chambers.
Turns out that this man thinks he is God!
"I have always harboured an exaggerated view of my self-importance – to put it bluntly, I fancied myself as some kind of god..."
Would it surprise you to know that this man funds a string of political action groups through which it is claimed he has bought and paid for the Democratic Party?
That he is the man pulling the strings of Hillary Clinton's candidacy for the Presidency?
That he is behind the bid to impeach George Bush?
That he has been investing the fortune he made in America in a bid to undermine its war in Iraq and ultimately end its leadership of the free world?
Sounds like the ultimate conspiracy theory, no?
But you need to read this interview with the writer who has exposed this alarming situation.
I am half-way through it and it's truly very scary.
By Thursday night we were all bewailing the resolution of the latest Iran hostage crisis and the way in which Ahmadinejad was left smelling of roses with his wonderful Easter Gift in the release of the 15 sailors to a humiliated British government.
In ordinary circumstances one would have expected the likes of the Guardian and Independent newspapers to laud this tyrant's manganimity and - in echoes of the Baker/Hamilton Iraq Study Group – make some daft suggestions that it is 'time to engage with our friends in Iran, as jaw-jaw is better than war-war'.
Fortunately, even in this arid region, the ink does not dry quickly enough.
By Friday morning the UK headlines were filled with outrage against Iran's sponsorship of terror bombings in Iraq which claimed the lives of four UK troops, two of them women. Locals were shown rejoicing with the macabre debris of the blast. 'Iran's Real Easter Gift' was the Friday headline in the Daily Mail.
Fortunately Israel has always been able to depend on two lifesavers. One is divine intervention and the other is the foolishness of its enemies.
Isaiah foretold that our enemies and haters would come forth from our own people. This is of course the most effective form of treachery since such people can always claim to have knowledge of our deepest motivations and our best interests at heart.
Such a man is George Soros the 'Hungarian Jew' most famous for breaking the Bank of England during the sterling crisis in 1992 and pocketing a profit of $1 billion.
Soros thinks he can fix everything that's wrong in the world and also solve the problems of 'his own people' in 'Palestine'.
Soros claims to genuinely care about his people.
But do not be fooled. He only looks after himself. And rather well.

Bar chairs sold at Lowe's recalled
Head injuries, broken ribs, bruising, scrapes reported
SAN ANTONIO – Shoppers who bought bar chairs made by the 3i Corporation, sold at Lowe's Stores, will want to be aware of a recall.

'Hate you Chinese f*ckers': California train passenger's 'deplorable' racist attack caught on video
David Ferguson
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) authorities are opening an investigation into a violent racist incident that took place Monday night on a light rail train.
CBS News said that multiple passengers called 911 around 10 minutes after 10 p.m. on Monday to report that a white man was attacking an Asian man on a train bound for Warm Springs Station.
In video taken by another passenger, the man shouted racist epithets and slapped the other man's face.
"I hate you Chinese f*ckers," the attacker said.
When the other man stood up and appeared to be preparing to fight, other passengers urged him to be calm.
Police boarded the train in Union City but were unable to locate the suspect.
BART officials called the attack "deplorable" and "unfortunate" but commended the passengers for contacting authorities and not escalating the violence.
"About 420,000 people ride BART each day, according to BART officials," CBS said. "While the agency says it's increasing its police presence and hiring 40 new officers, it says that it also relies on riders to report crimes."
Watch the video, embedded below:
On Thursday's edition of MSNBC's "All In," former Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) laid into his erstwhile party for its embrace of President Donald Trump's racial hatred and intolerance, as exemplified by the crowd of Trump rallygoers in Greenville, North Carolina chanting "Send Her Back!" of Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
"It was heartbreaking," said Jolly, who renounced the Republican Party and became an independent last year. "In terms of what I felt, it was heartbreak, both last night and then to see the likes of Lindsey Graham [(R-SC)] today suggest that the only problem is Omar doesn't wear a MAGA hat. If refugees would just wear MAGA hats, they could stay. The others deserve to go."
On Thursday evening, MSNBC's Chris Hayes tore into the Republican Party for accepting and legitimizing the racism of President Donald Trump and his supporters.
"'Send Her Back.' The darkest, ugliest impulses that a political movement can cultivate on full unapologetic display," said Hayes. "That's what Donald Trump has been cultivating all along. Whether the Republican Party likes it or not, it stands for it now. Most of us across the ideological spectrum feel, viscerally, a kind of moral revulsion when we hear and see an angry mob braying 'Send Her Back' about a fellow American. But the reaction from Republicans today was basically a foregone conclusion."

I love sports! In fact, if you know me, I love Duke (hopefully this does not mean I lose my reading audience). I love all Duke University sports. I grew up in North Carolina and have been an avid Duke fan since I was young. As you know, if you follow sports, the Duke University men's basketball team recently won the national title. If you followed them throughout the season, you would have never thought that it was possible for that team to win the title. Duke relied heavily on freshman, they had one of their best players kicked off the team mid-season and only had eight scholarship players. The difference in them losing and winning was that they became a real team mid-season.
Developing a team is so important whether it is a sports team, a business or a church. I want to share a few characteristics of a great team.
1. Unity—I have been in churches that were not unified, and the team failed. I have been in other situations where the team experienced true unity, and it was a beautiful thing. Unity is vastly important, and it requires each member of the team to put aside their personal preferences for what is best for the entire team.
2. Character—Character is at the heart of the team. Each member of the team must demonstrate genuine character when building great teams that last. Without character, the rest of the team characteristics are useless.
3. Chemistry—Building great teams requires team chemistry. This is all of the way down to the hiring process. Hire people who fit. One thing that amazes me is that so often churches hire people who do not fit in the church. This will not build a great team.
4. Diversity—What I love about Trinity (where I serve currently) is the diversity of our team. We have young pastors and old pastors. We have conservative pastors and some more progressive pastors. We have different personalities on our team. Teams that cannot look past differences and accept diversity will limit their ability to build a great team. They may build a pretty good team, but they will not build a great team.
5. Competency—I listed this last for a reason. This is so important, but in my experience, this is not the most important. For instance, someone can have the degrees, the experience and the intelligence that can make them a great team player, but if they lack chemistry and unity—the team can become dysfunctional.
For those of you who serve on a team in a business or a church, the team that we serve on is critical, and we play an integral part to the success of the team in its entirety. It is my desire that we build healthy teams that contain people of character who are committed to unity, who are diverse and who have the skills to reach the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

REVIEW | 'House of Gucci' feels ripped from the bargain bin
Ridley Scott's "House of Gucci" exudes the opulence and style that the Gucci name has become so synonymous with, but it struggles to tell an engaging story over its lengthy two-hour, 38-minute run time. Moments of real talent in design, directing and acting are stretched thin over this movie that feels too big to support its own weight. "House of Gucci" is an experience that will leave those fascinated by the story behind one of the world's biggest fashion brands, but sadly nothing more. The film follows Patrizia Gucci, née Reggiani (Lady Gaga) and her husband, Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver), through the '70s and '80s as they navigate the difficult politics surrounding their…

REVIEW | 'Eternals' wants to be a better movie than it is
Chloé Zhao's "Eternals" clearly has so much it wants to say, and yet it says so little — but at this point, that feels expected from Marvel's almost 15-year-old saga.
Review: 'Last Night in Soho' is beautifully gruesome
"Last Night in Soho," while not perfect, is a chilling and deeply compelling horror story about nostalgia, trauma and gender that will leave viewers hanging onto their seats. It shows promise for the future of director Edgar Wright's career, as well as those of budding stars Thomasin McKenzie and Anya-Taylor Joy.

I've had a few posts now where my hair either has a sock in it or very recently had a sock in my hair just before posting.
I first saw Kimmie sporting the sock bun and she linked to this tutorial by The Other Emily. I decided to give it a try as I am always looking for an easy way to get my hair off my face without doing the boring (and thin) ponytail. BTW, this is really great if your hair isn't very long because it gives the illusion of much greater length.
This look was so easy and I get so many compliments everytime I do this. It is especially great when I am between hair washes and I don't want to sport awesome stringy hair. Mr. Fantastic donated two dress socks that I use either combined to make one thick donut or serparately if I want something smaller. As Emily says in the tutorial, the key is to get a sock that is as close as possible to your hair color so that it blends in. I love the boost in volume.
I realized that my hair curls very nicely when I roll it, but it had several kinks and then a few hairs just didn't curl. So I reached out to my trusty blog friends and found this tutorial for sock curls. In this blog, Kiwi didn't get the desired results, but these are the best instructions I've found. The only change I made is that I don't dampen my hair. I start with completely dry hair, roll it up and sleep in it and this is the result the next morning without using hair rollers, dryers or bonnets. NO HEAT! I don't even have to brush it, just run my finger through it a few times to style it.
I am always on the lookout for fast and easy hair styles because I have a tendency to sport long hair without variation. That can turn boring very quickly and even though I am in my early thirties, I don't feel ready to sport a cute bob just yet. I hope someone else tries it and let's me know if it works!

How Dante Can Save your Life
Date: Thursday, April 23, 2015
Location: Fulton 511
RSVP requested
Co-sponsored with The Church in the 21st Century Center
Abstract: In this book event, journalist and blogger Rod Dreher will discuss his latest book, How Dante Can Save your Life. The book is meant for those who find themselves untethered and lost in the modern world. Dreher reveals Dante's penetrating (but often hidden) spiritual, moral, and psychological insights, and shows how these ideas can be used to rise above misery and confusion to happiness and peace.
As Dreher writes in the book's introduction: "This medieval masterpiece, perhaps the greatest poem ever written, reached me when I thought I was unreachable, and lit the way out of a dark wood of depression, confusion, and a stress-related autoimmune disease that, had it persisted, would have dangerously degraded my health. Dante helped me understand the mistakes and mistaken beliefs that brought me to this dead end. He showed me that I had the power to change, and revealed to me how to do so. Most important of all, the poet gave me a renewed vision of life."
Rod Dreher is a writer, editor and blogger, who currently writes a regular blog for The American Conservative. He is most recently the author of How Dante Can Save your Life. Earlier books include: The Little Way of Ruthie Leming (2010), about his childhood home of St. Francisville, LA, and his sister's battle with cancer; and Crunchy Cons (2006), about a growing "conservative counterculture" movement that stands outside the GOP mainstream. Previously Dreher worked as the director of publications for the John Templeton Foundation, and as a columnist and editorial writer for Dallas Morning News from 2003 to 2010. His writings have appeared in such publications as the National Review, Weekly Standard, and Wall Street Journal, and he has contributed commentaries to NPR's All Things Considered as well as several television networks. He holds a B.A. in Journalism from Louisiana State University.

Having wrapped up a sweeping summer tour, electronic experimental artist Yaeji is embarking on a run of fall tour dates. The Korean American artist, Kathy Yaeji Lee, is building a rapidly growing following for music that dives head first into themes of Korean identity, the value of therapy, and artistic creation.
Having studied painting and conceptual art at Carnegie Mellon University, Yaeji offers an unconventional but thoughtful concert experience. She's previously hosted concerts where she serves curry to the audience, distributed blindfolds, and performed with other experiential techniques.
Yaeji will perform at the UC Theatre in Berkeley on October 20.

WAR File Extension - What is a .war file and how do I open it?
What is a WAR file?
A WAR file is a compressed package containing Java-based web components and applications that are run on a web server. It is formatted the same way as a .JAR file, but includes additional information that tells the application server which Java servlet class to run.
WAR files may contain server-side utility classes (such as database beans and shopping carts), static web resources (HTML, image, and sound files), and client-side classes (applets and utility classes). They can be run on a web server using a supporting program such as the Tomcat Web Application Manager within Apache.
Since WAR files are saved in an archive format, the contents of a WAR file can be extracted using a file decompression utility like Stuffit Expander.
Open and view .WAR files with File Viewer Plus.
Our goal is to help you understand what a file with a *.war suffix is and how to open it.
The Java Web Archive file type, file format description, and Mac, Windows, and Linux programs listed on this page have been individually researched and verified by the FileInfo team. We strive for 100% accuracy and only publish information about file formats that we have tested and validated.

FUTURE INTERESTS - POWERS-FRAUD ON A SPECIAL POWER
Bernard L. Trott S. Ed., University of Michigan Law SchoolFollow
H was co-trustee under a trust agreement executed by his father which provided for payment of a specified monthly sum to H for life and after his death to his wife W. The trust was to terminate upon the death of the survivor of H and W, and thereupon the other trustee was to deliver 20% of the corpus to each of three named persons, A, B, and C. The trust instrument further provided that H was to have absolute power, with approval of the co-trustee, to prescribe that the distribution of this 60% of the corpus should be made in different proportions than those provided. W predeceased H. H remarried and, desiring to secure a benefit for his second wife from the trust, proposed that each of the three beneficiaries, A, B, and C, agree to pay a sum equal to 7½% of the total trust fund to R, the second wife, on receipt of their 20% shares. A and B agreed to this proposal but C refused to assent. H thereupon purported to exercise his power and changed the percentages to read, 28% to A, 28% to B, and 4% to C. This change was approved by the co-trustee and shortly thereafter the trust was terminated by the death of H. C sought a declaratory judgment as to the effect of the attempted exercise of the power. Held, the attempted exercise was void as a fraud on the power, since it was made for the purpose of benefiting a non-object. Horne v. Title Insurance and Trust Co., (D.C. Cal. 1948) 79 F. Supp. 91.

generic entry - I'm not lost, I just don't know where I'm going.
Knitting - way behind on updating Ravelry with photos. Have not been knitting all that much anyway. If I step up the pace, I'll at least start on the last skein of yarn I brought with me before I go back. I've only ordered knitpicks once, and that was more tools than yarn anyway, so I'm about breaking even on yarn stash growth/spending. Currently working on a pair of red socks (dyed with Black Cherry kool-aid) with a bit of bias knitting to make them less boring.
Video games - such a timesink. Still enjoying XCOM: Enemy Unknown. I did the base assault on my current crazy game.. playing on Impossible and delaying the base assault until January. Sectopods and stuff. But that's okay, because I had blaster launchers.
TV - watching Star Trek: Deep Space Nine while I'm here and can stream it for free through Amazon. Up to early season 4.
Reading, mostly short stories these days. Don't feel like starting a long book right now.
Had a great day yesterday where I got a lot of stuff done. Grocery shopping, picking up (preventative) meds at the veterinarian clinic, laundry, cleaning out two of the three litterboxes.
Monday we made cauliflower crust pizza. I think I saw the recipe reblogged on tumblr a couple of weeks ago and it had been sitting in an open tab ever since. I delegated the making of the sauce to aetherspoon, but otherwise did all the work myself. It turned out great, though I think I didn't quite squeeze out as much liquid as I should have from the cauliflower. Kind of couldn't with how steaming hot it was. Next time I will let it cool off a little first. Anyway, I was impressed by how tasty it was. I wouldn't have guessed it to be cauliflower-based if I had been blind tasting it.

What happened to the "brown box on four legs"?
August 9, 2014 by victoria441	1 Comment
As you could probably guess, there have been many changes to TV since the 1960's. What was once black and white is now colour and what was once a "brown box on four legs" (as my mum puts it) is now a black, flat screen.
My mum was born in Wales and when she thinks of TV when she was younger she thinks of shows like "The Magic Roundabout" and "Blue Peter" (whatever those are). Apart from the obvious change in looks and TV programs, my mum pointed out a few other differences I hadn't considered before. She only had one TV in the house for her entire childhood, now today finding a household with only one TV is almost impossible. She also reminded me that when she was a kid she had to physically get up and twist the knobs on the TV if she wanted to change the channel or volume.
One of the major differences she remembered was the fact that programs didn't run all the time. There were only 3 channels, and those channels only ran programs for part of the day. The rest of the time was an image that looked something like this (right) and my mum remembers it distinctly.
Some other things my mum remembered about TV from her childhood were to do with culture and family. She remembers the rule of not being allowed to watch TV before 5pm.
"Dad worked until about 4:30, so sometimes we would risk watching TV after school and switch it off just as he walked through the door. But Dad had this trick where he felt the top of the TV set (the transistors in the TV get warm after you watch a bit) and if it was hot we would miss out on TV that night and the next day."
When my mum and her family moved to Australia in 1971, TV sets were now available in colour. My mum and her siblings remember begging their Dad for one, but he wasn't the sort to give in easily. It must have been at least three years after colour TV came out that my mum and her siblings were allowed one.
The way my mum grew up with TV is important. As Tobias and Murray point out in their article (2010), the way children experience TV when they grow up will effect the way they enjoy and perceive television in the future.

The following documents relate to our upcoming school council elections.
Before you read any further if you haven't yet had a look at our school history and profile pages go there now then come back.
Greenvale Primary has a long and proud history thanks mainly to the dedicated teaching and support staff and also due to the strong support from the families of our children and the local community.
School Council is a small part of the total picture and is a great way to get involved with your children's education and the only qualification you need is to care about our children's future.
The role of school council is one of setting the long term future for the school and maintaining a general overview of the school's operation including finance, buildings and grounds, fund raising and uniform just to name a few.
There are numerous sub committees of school council so there is always some way of helping no matter how small it may seem.

Card. Sako: Eastern Church model for a renewed synodality
The Chaldean primate explores themes and models of the new synod drawn up by Pope Francis. The hope that every continent will have a permanent assembly consisting of "a small number of bishops". Greater authority at individual conferences to face the "demanding challenges" of everyday life. The experience of the Eastern Churches.
Baghdad (AsiaNews) - "To support the Holy Father's desire for greater synodality, one model would be that every continent have a sort of permanent synod, consisting of a small number of bishops" from the geographical area," writes the Chaldean primate, Card. Louis Raphael Sako, in a message sent to AsiaNews.
In the missive the leader of the Chaldean church explores the guidelines drawn by Pope Francis on the synodal assembly. "The Roman Curia - continues the cardinal - is a valuable support, but the bureaucracy is exhausting and endless" having failed to adapt to modernity.
According to Patriarch Sako, it is equally important to "grant greater authority" to the Episcopal Conferences of individual countries, so that they can face "the demanding challenges" to which they are subjected on a daily basis and to be faced "with a sense of collegial responsibility". An approach, he warns him, that can prove useful "only by acting in harmony" with the pontiff "and remembering the bond that unites us with the successor of Peter".
As the Chaldean primate explains, the Catholic Church "is on the eve of a journey" desired by the Pope to "rediscover synodality" and favour "an individual and community maturation of the people of God".
In fact, in recent weeks the pontiff outlined the next Synod of Bishops in three phases, between October 2021 and the same month of 2023, which will take place in the Vatican and in each diocese. The objective of the diocesan phase is listening to the people of God, while the second and third phases will focus on the universal Church and the one on the way, emphasizing that the Synod is not an event but rather a process.
Card. Sako exalts the value of the experience of the Eastern Churches whose synod is "a canonical structure" that has operated "since the first centuries" and distinguishes between a "permanent" sphere of a patriarchal Church and a "general" one of its bishops, while maintaining "Collegiality and unity".
It "is a sign of the shared responsibility" of the bishops with the patriarch and "strengthens the centrality of the Church, strengthens the bonds of the individual Eparchies with each other and with the See of St. Peter, respecting diversity in unity".
"Synodality - continues the Chaldean patriarch - is likewise a distinctive trait of the journey of the whole universal Church. With the successor of Peter, the Church acts collegially despite the great variety "that composes it".
Its purpose, explains Cardinal Sako, is that of "constituting and forming the Christian community with wisdom and care, with particular attention to future generations. and allow each faithful to live their faith hic et nunc, spreading love and hope everywhere."
Unity, he warns, does not mean "uniformity" and renewal is a "necessity that must be applied" in order to be "witnesses of the Risen one".
"The invitation of Pope Francis is an opportunity to prepare the journey of the Church in an analytical way, starting from the smallest unit (involving every parish, every diocese, every episcopal conference) to reach the universal Church".
The synod of 2023 could be an opportunity to reflect "on pastoral guidelines, theological programs and administrative projects, starting from the concrete situations in which the Church lives and works". "The Eastern Churches - concludes the cardinal - can enjoy the spirituality emanating from synodality, as well as the methodology applied for the preparation of the themes" while the Western Church can "take advantage of the ancient and consolidated experience" of the Eastern ones.

Incremental compilation is a very effective software development technique. It has been successfully implemented in several existing compilers and time sharing systems. The idea of placing an incremental compiler at a remote terminal is discussed in this thesis. This thesis develops the structural guidelines necessary for a system design which separates the compiler software physically from the execution hardware. The remote terminal, while having the responsibility of supporting incremental compilation, must also handle editing and syntax checking. The mainframe computer will be used to support the execution of the intermediate compiled code generated by the remote terminal. This paper presents the techniques for using an interpreter, resident in the mainframe, to link the remote compiler with the execution process. General interpreter software design is considered first, then a particular interpreter written for Dartmouth BASIC is presented along with a description of the communication link for the remote terminal to mainframe hookup. In order to evaluate the system design, several performance criterion like user productivity, response time, programming cost are defined. These measures of performance relate to the most effective method of using existing computer facilities with relatively inexpensive software and hardware modifications. This thesis considers the effect of remote incremental compilation on the total programmer-computer interactive system. The advantages of the design are outlined and weighed against the cost of modifying the present computer systems. Finally, the language processing of BASIC in an interpretive environment is illustrated in detail. The concept of remote incremental compilation is a realistic and effective improvement in the field of interactive program development. The software simulation of the BASIC interpreter has shown that the proposed design can be feasibly supported by the mainframe computer.

Shraddha Walkar murder case: Delhi Police likely to file charge sheet today
The Delhi Police are likely to file a charge sheet in the Shraddha Walkar murder case before the Saket district courts on Tuesday.
The charge sheet, which is expected to run over 3,000 pages with 100 witnesses to the case, has been made on the basis of forensic and electronic evidence, sources said.
Aaftab Poonawala is accused of killing his live-in partner Walkar and then chopping her body into several pieces and storing them in a refrigerator before disposing of them in the Chhatarpur forest near his house over a period of three months.
The court on January 10 had extended his judicial custody by 14 days. Poonawala was produced before Metropolitan Magistrate Aviral Shukla.
Poonawala had demanded law books to study. The court had also directed the prison authorities to provide him with warm clothes.
On January 6, Poonawala had moved an application in the court seeking release of his debit and credit cards, citing need for funds to purchase day-to-day items, as well as warm clothes.
Poonawala's application moved through his advocate sought to release funds from his bank account citing that he didn't have enough warm clothes to counter the winter chill inside the prison.
On December 23, the court had extended his judicial custody by 14 days. On December 22, he withdrew his bail plea, claiming that he had applied for bail erroneously.
On December 17, he had claimed that he signed the 'vakalatnama', but did not know about filing a bail application.
