In this article Lizzie Hill, art therapist at Local Counselling Centre, and specialist in working with children, young people and families, shares some thoughts about children's needs following parental breakdown.
When parents separate, children need time and space to work out what they feel and think. Many children worry that sharing their feelings with parents will add to existing upset, or be seen as siding with one parent over another.
It can be painful, but useful, for you to recognise that sometimes children prefer to speak to other people, outside the family, about what has happened. There may be trusted family friends who can play this important 'neutral' role, or you may wish to consider securing support from a professional therapist or counsellor, who can give your child a safe and non-judgemental space.
Sometimes other people may notice that your child is dealing with something big. Teachers or other professionals who know your child well may pick up on a change in behaviour or mood, or your child might tell them what is happening. The realisation that your separation is spilling into other parts of your child's life can result in feelings of horror, guilt and inadequacy, which you need to try to work through. Try to be open to other people's views regarding your child: they might have good ideas about what could help. Showing your child that you are thinking calmly and constructively about them, with other concerned adults, can be immensely valuable, especially if the recent parental relationship has been underpinned by conflict and disagreement.
Knowing that you are on good terms with their teacher or other school staff, will give your child further reassurance.
When there are changes in family structure, the routine and consistency of school can be a stabilising factor. Children can worry about breaking family confidences: giving permission and reassuring your child that it is OK to talk to people at school, if they find it helpful, can be a real relief. Knowing that you are on good terms with their teacher or other school staff, will give your child further reassurance.
Children need to know that they continue to be loved by both parents. Putting extra effort into being reliable, and providing consistent arrangements and schedules, gives children reassurance and feelings of security. When a relationship breaks down, painful feelings can make working together with your ex-partner—to agree and manage routines and arrangements for your child—extremely difficult. It may be that you and your ex-partner could benefit from professional support to help you think together about how to move forward as co-parents, and continue to provide a consistent, stable environment for your children.
Research shows that for parents who work on increasing their skills in collaborating and problem solving together, there are also reduced levels of conflict and overall impact on the children; these children are better placed to recover from their parent's break up. A parenting plan such as Splitting Up? Put Kids First can also help parents struggling to communicate and compromise.
Remember that your child has needs and interests outside the family: seeing friends, going to sleepovers and parties, being involved in clubs and sport. It is important that these continue to be encouraged and don't get sacrificed because of the time pressures of a co-parenting schedule, or your wish to spend more time with your child. Supporting your child's play, friendships and opportunities – regardless of changes in family structure – will contribute to their resilience and overall emotional wellbeing.

Ed and his amazing 16 piece band (+ guests) return with his third album of his distinctive, big-band interpretations of the great 20th century composer, Frank Zappa. This body of work has won them huge acclaim from both new and old fans of the music and they even appeared on NPR's Weekend Edition for a short feature which was heard by millions of listeners in 2006. For those not already familiar with Ed's colorful, jazz-based arrangements of Zappa's compositions, Ed has led a big band for 30 years (!) and has had his band performing the music of Frank Zappa for 15 years. Many years of playing these pieces in front of hugely enthusiastic crowds have honed the band's skills interpreting Zappa's beautiful but notoriously difficult material to where they are able to perform these challenging charts with apparent ease. All of these musicians are high caliber, hugely talented NYC professional players, and most of them have been playing this music for a decade and a half with this group, not because it is a good paying gig (it isn't) but because they all admire and appreciate the genius of Zappa's work and they love having the opportunity to be able to perform these terrifically exciting charts.
"Wonderful, breathtaking, fantastic, exhilarating, great sound, great production, great musicianship...I run out of superlatives..." – paradoxone.uk
"Palermo developed these charts during years of live shows with these musicians, and their mastery of the material shows in the performances, which turn on a dime yet feel fierce with spontaneous invention.... Palermo's arrangements and these performances are precise, dedicated, raucous and incisive—just like Zappa himself." – JazzTimes
"Palermo uses Zappa's compositions as a framework for inspiration, rather than simply trying to recreate what is already available on CD." – allaboutjazz.com
Listen to Ed and his band on NPR; it's an amazing set!

Freedom in relationships—the amazing impact freedom brings to relationships—that's where we are going in this column, but we have to start with a brief history lesson from Russia. When we talk about a family "living in liberty," questions inevitably arise concerning parental—or even church—authority. So, before the questions begin, consider a real-life example of what can happen when authority and freedom collide outside the bounds of love.
In the 1800s, an ancient political theory known as anarchy—"an absence of government and the absolute freedom of the individual"—became popular, especially in Russia. Believing that authority and freedom could not peacefully coexist, and given the brutal conditions of life under the tsar, many Russian anarchists chose to use violence against rulers in their attempt to gain political freedom during an authoritarian age. It is fascinating to note that the tutor of Tsar Alexander III viewed the Western form of political liberty (defined as "free from oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behavior, or political views") as dangerous!1 The end result of the rising tensions between individuals and groups who were seeking "freedom" and authoritarian rulers who were keeping "control" of the masses was the destabilization of Russia, a major factor in the overthrow of the tsar and the success of the October Revolution by communists in 1917.

Q: S3 Bucket Notification or CloudWatch Event Rule to call a Lambda on Object level changes? I need to start a Lambda Function when an object has been created on an S3 Bucket. I found 2 solutions to do this.

*

*Using AWS::S3::Bucket NotificationConfiguration.

*Using a CloudWatch AWS::Events::Rule.

They both seem to do exactly the same thing, which is to track specific changes and launch a Lambda Function when it happens. I could not find any information on which one should be used. I'm using Cloud Formation Template to provision the Lambda, the S3 Bucket and the trigger.
Which one should I use to call a Lambda on Object level changes and why?

A: Use the 1st one because of

*

*A push model is much better than a pull model. Push means you send data when you get it instead of polling onto something for some set of interval. This is an era for push notifications all over us. You don't go to facebook to check every 5 minutes if someone has liked your picture or not OR someone has replied to your comment, etc.

*In terms of cost and efforts also, S3 event notification wins the race.

*Cloudwatch was the best option if you didn't have S3 notification but since you have it, that's the best. Plus if you have a feature in the service itself then why will you go for an alternative solution like Cloudwatch rules.

Misses on revenue and earnings failed to impress investors.
Shares of coal miner CONSOL Energy (NYSE:CNX) dropped nearly 12% in early Tuesday trading, before ending the day off by a less drastic 7.4% decline.
CONSOL appears to have disappointed investors with its fourth-quarter earnings results today. Reporting losses of $301.6 million on revenue of $462 million, the company underperformed relative to last year's Q4 earnings ($34.3 million) and revenue ($666 million) alike. Given that analysts had predicted CONSOL would take in revenue of $605 million, and earn at least a de minimis profit ($0.01 per share, pro forma) on that revenue, investors' disappointment is understandable. As it turned out, even calculated pro forma and without accounting for hedging losses, CONSOL's results barely broke even.
In its report, CONSOL management attempted to shift investors' focus away from its GAAP numbers (not even mentioning GAAP until the third paragraph of the release), and focus on cash production instead. But even in that regard, the news wasn't great: CONSOL generated $83 million in operating cash flow in Q4 -- a 19% decline year over year.
Clearly, Trump presidency or no Trump presidency, the coal business isn't reviving itself anywhere near as fast as CONSOL would like to see. Accordingly, CONSOL advises that it is proceeding with plans to divest its coal business and focus on exploration and production of natural gas and oil instead.
Management has not yet decided whether to try to sell its coal operations, or simply spin them off to its own shareholders as a separate entity. In any case, a decision is expected to come as early as this year.


SLIDER CANOPY FRAME, CANOPY AND CANOPY SKIRTS. I've spent an inordinate amount of time on this (actually kind of stuck at the moment). I think the instructions for both slider and tip up canopies up to the RV-10 are poor and a video of a start to finish example of each would be most welcome. In particular, the forming of the canopy frame to match the roll bar and the fuselage sides compensating for the springback of the canopy bubble itself would be great. I ended up making a custom tool to bend more/less curvature into the front and rear canopy frame hoop which worked well. The method in the instructions about bending it by leaning on it or bending it over your knee I took as being a joke by the instruction writer.
I found the video of the installation of the windshield fiberglass buildup (I think of the RV-14 on Vans website) very informative, but I'm not there yet.
Yes, we have been discussing with EAA how to best collaborate - great point. And if you think of anything you'd like to demo skills-wise, let me know. You're close by!
I am actually right in the middle to shooting some video for that topic right now.
The RV-10 fiberglass is a great idea, tough one to make happen but valid request. Will think about how that could work.
The filtered air box tutorial/instruction point is, frankly, a valid one. It's on our list of things to do at some point.
And the cowl fitting topic is also a great one. Thanks!
Yeah, we'll get right on that one. Or maybe not! Maybe it would be better to just have a little fun on that topic instead.
All in fun and jest, of course.
Last edited by greghughespdx : 10-11-2018 at 02:41 PM.
Already in discussion with EAA on that very idea, glad there's a similar train of thought. And the RV-specific "tricks" and experienced "how-to's" are where we want to primarily focus.
And we do have the Tech Support team's hot-topic list, as well.
Keep the ideas coming, good stuff -- and thanks!
A short video on deburring alone would answer literally thousands of questions.
I have also recently searched information about flaring tubing and torquing fluid fittings, there is also a lot of mass confusion in this area too.
Agree about video on setting prop blade angle in RV-12.

Seattle Independent Music Venue & Cinema Reopenings Part I: Aug 13 - Sept 30
After a year and a half of navigating the complexities of the pandemic restrictions and closures, programming returns in late August and September to many of the regional independent arts venues. First and foremost, these venues (with the exception of the national theater chains like AMC), are requiring proof of vaccination before being admitted. Prioritizing the safety of their patrons, mask facial coverings and capacity limits have also been established as prerequisites by the below venues. Last month, as stated under the Healthy Washington: Roadmap to Recovery guidelines; "Washington state will no longer evaluate counties based on these Key Indicators of Covid-19 Activity, and the state will fully reopen to Phase 4 on June 30, which could happen earlier if 70% or more of Washingtonians over the age of 16 get their first vaccine dose." This was the first major step towards reopening after nearly eighteen months of closure for the regional independent music venues, and Seattle's independent cinemas in response to the coronavirus pandemic. In many cases, their future remained uncertain until as recently as the February federal stimulus bill and the approval of funding for arts and cultural venues that came with it. Over a year later relief funding became available for many of these same institutions with the benefits of the Save Our Stages Act finally beginning to arrive, alongside the newly implemented Shuttered Venues Grant. The benefits of the various pandemic relief bills, with regional infrastructure like the 4Culture Relief Fund, awareness efforts like the Washington Nightlife Music Association, crowdfunding and philanthropy like the ArtistRelief, ArtsFund grant, and GiveBig Washington have come in the 11th hour for many of these venues and institutions.
Opening in late August, Scarecrow Video's sister cinema, The Grand Illusion is leading the charge, both with new in-theater programming open to the public, and an overt pandemic policy statement. In their first weeks of programming they will feature Neill Blomkamp's "Demonic", Pablo Larraine's "Ema", and Quentin Dupieux's "Mandibles". Up north, Seattle's last remaining Landmark Theatres venue will host Leos Carax's "Annette" and the anthology film "Year of the Everlasting Storm" featuring segments by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, Jafar Panahi, Dominga Sotomayor, Anthony Chen, Malik Vitthal, and Laura Poitras. The national AMC theaters chain also has a few films of note on offer, with David Lowery's Arthurian fable, "The Green Knight", the newest film from Paul Shrader "The Card Counter", after his excellent "First Reformed" of 2018, and this year's Cannes breakout stunner "Titane" from Julia Ducournau. The Beacon also returns with a mixed calendar of private rentals and public screenings on select dates. For September these include Mario Bava's "Danger Diabolique", Alex Cox's "Repo Man", Robert Downey Sr.'s "Putney Swope", and Benny Chan's "Moment of Romance". SIFF Cinema have announced their opening next month with a full October calendar. Northwest Film Forum initiates their return with the Local Sightings Festival and later in the month Arie & Chuko Esiri's "Eyimofe" and Spike Lee's David Byrne concert film, "American Utopia". Select music offerings of note in September include James Blake and Herbie Hancock a day apart both at The Paramount. The latter returning to Seattle after his stunning 2019 tour with Kamasi Washington and band supporting. Saharan guitar virtuoso Mdou Moctar and band will be at the newly opened The Crocodile which, a week later will also host Xiu Xiu's tour for their most recent album, "Oh No". That same weekend, Seattle Symphony will be presenting works by Richard Strauss and Igor Stravinsky in their opening night gala. Kelly Lee Owens will be performing her enveloping, rhythmic electronic albums on Scandinavian label Smalltown Supersound at Neumos and experimental, ambient, and magnetic tape composer William Basinski will be presenting the 20th anniversary of his "Disintegration Loops" at Fremont Abbey.

Coil's "Love's Secret Domain" 30th Anniversary reissue on WaxTrax! Records: Sept 10 | "Further Back and Faster: A Return to Coil's Love's Secret Domain" | The Quietus
The last decade has seen a number of significant unearthings from the technocryptic discography of Coil. Most notably among these, the lost 1996 album "Backwards", finally exhumed and released in 2015 by Cold Spring Records. This week sees a sanctioned reissue of it's 1991 predecessor, "Love's Secret Domain", bridging the chronological gap between the previous reissue of it's surrealist sister album, "Stolen & Contaminated Songs". Born of the countercultural hotbed and its response to the constrictions of Margaret Thatcher's England, Jhon Balance and Peter Christohperson's music as Coil may be the most explicitly occult (and outwardly queer) of all of the British post-punk and industrial sounds of the 1980s. The origins of Coil can be found in Christopherson's contribution to the very outfit that coined the term industrial music, and the transgressive sound, art, and theater they deployed as Throbbing Gristle. Splitting from TG with the meeting of Zos Kia's Jhon Balance in 1983, Christopherson's fruitful collaborations with Balance would carve out a body of psychedelic and "sidereal" music on the fringe of post-punk and experimental culture for the next three decades. By the early-1990s the duo had brought on supporting members Stephen Thrower, Drew McDowall, Ossian Brown, Danny Hyde, and William Breeze and an assimilation of UK club music and American minimalist composers into their sound. This all began with the unlikely meeting of British rave, ecstasy, and club culture colliding head-on with their morose, cinematic, and surrealist themes heard on 1991's "Love's Secret Domain".
This wildly energetic and transitional era for Coil is explored by their friend and collaborator, Stephen Thrower, in a recent and revealing interview for The Quietus, "Further Back and Faster: A Return to Coil's Love's Secret Domain". Now, 30 years since it's release on Chicago's legendary industrial and electronic label, WaxTrax!, the album enjoys a gentle remaster polishing by Josh Bonati from original source materials, and new liner notes from Drew Daniel of Matmos. Containing all 13 tracks as featured on the original compact disc edition, this quality reissue is the essential primer to Coil's later phase, as heard on the ill-fated "Backwards" album for the Nothing label, briefed in the "Trent Reznor On Coil & Nine Inch Nails" interview, and 1996's "Black Light District", where they began their venture into an expressly ambient and nocturnal passage. Insight into this mercurial era of their music and assimilation and perversion of then-developing sounds in electronic music is revealed through the inner workings of their "Obscure Mechanics" in philosophical and musing interviews published in the pages of The Wire. There remains no better guide to the mystic, psychedelic, rapturously unique and deeply beguiling music Jhon and Peter created over the decades of Coil's existence, and the wider British countercultural continuum, than David Keenan's "England's Hidden Reverse: A Secret History of the Esoteric Underground". More concise compendiums tend to be on the exiguous side, but few resources bridge Coil's deep plumbing of the esoteric and the cultural milieu of the time better than Russell Cuzner's feature for The Quietus, "Serious Listeners: The Strange and Frightening World of Coil".
Labels: Brainwashed, Coil, Drew McDowall, Jhon Balance, Ossian Brown, Peter Christopherson, Stephen Thrower, The Wire, Threshold House, Wax Trax!


One of my last chemotherapies, I remember being extremely depressed at the whole situation. that I was stuck there. that I had turned boring. that I wasn't motivated to move. My phone had gone off a bazillion times and people wanted to come visit. No. I wouldn't have that, "I don't want people right now," I remember thinking.
Well low and behold, Annie Mayberry makes her way up to Moffitt anyways. Oh that Annie Mayberry :) God is God. She said she felt she was supposed to be there in that dreadful room with me... Turns out...we had the greatest time! We laughed, we cried, we swapped stories. I remember thanking God for being more stubborn than me and need to have His way over mine. Well, right before Annie leaves she says, "hey listen to Oceans by Hillsong".
"why does that teenage boy keep sitting down every other song..."
This song I hadn't heard since my Annie Mayberry night! You'd think I'd be happy to hear it again, but I wasn't. As soon as the first line finishes, I'm crying like a darn baby. This wave of depression, and loneliness had completely taken over. My heart hurt just like it did the night Annie Mayberry had me listen to Oceans the first time. Then the dude's prayer for the hopeless came back into my thoughts and I realized I had let myself feel hopeless in Moffitt. Then the feeling magnifies. And I started to hurt even more, not for myself, but for the people who don't know Jesus that are sitting in Moffitt. The people that are there way longer than I ever had to be. The people that have to call that place home until they're "released". Jail. They're stuck there until they're told they can go. Jail. (Sorry to all my facebook friends who were my nurses...you made it a fun jail).
So I start praying for these people. Cancer patients. Who don't know Jesus. Oh how they must fear death and pain.
Then it's like I hear God's whisper. "Bring these people to Me. Bring these people to Hope, bald." And I start crying even harder because I thought I was being told to stay bald and minister to people at Moffitt... which now that I think about it doesn't make too much sense, actually.
Weeks go by and I obviously pray a lot about this because ...i don't want to be bald. As I was finishing a letter to God on December 27, it hits like a load of brownies. I'm supposed to be bringing hope to these people, showing the Light in their darkness. (the Light being God). I really am supposed to do this bald..
This is a God thing. 100%. If you tell me good job or something, I'll delete it... BUT, if you want to join the BALD community, I'm going to prayerfully make this an every holiday thing!
Anywho, I hear the fireworks.2013 was interesting,sad,hard,full of growth,crazy,full of new things,full of lost things,most of all, was COMPLETELY saturated in Jesus Christ.
All glory be to God, forever and ever! AMEN 2013!!!!!!!

The Indian budget's promise of a focus on research
Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharam, an alumnus of Jawaharlal Nehru University, seems to not have forgotten the importance of research in development.
Mahendra P Lama
After many years, the budget for the fiscal year 2019-20 presented in the Indian Parliament by the country's second woman finance minister evoked much coverage and discussions in national and regional newspapers and a range of social forums. While an ebullient Nirmala Sitharaman was delivering the budget speech, many of her 35-odd class mates nostalgically reminiscenced fundamentals of our learning in the Centre for Economic Studies and Planning in Delhi's Jawaharlal Nehru University in the early 1980s. Many of our batch mates had come to Delhi for the first time and had hugely varying ideological orientations from the left, ultra left and free thinking to the right-of-centre. Nirmala Sitharaman has not changed a bit; vociferous, argumentative, intellectually sound and smartly dressed as she used to be in our graduate school days.
We were then taught the intrigues of economics by widely respected Professors including Krishna Bhardwaj, Amit Bhaduri, Prabhat and Utsa Patnaik, DN Rao, RP Sengupta, Anjan Mukehrji, Satish Jain, Sheila Bhalla, Sunanda Sen, CP Chandrasekhar and Amal Sanyal. They were symbols of simplicity and had the impeccable ability to intellectually arouse and influence the young minds from across the country. Their own writings were fondly read and discussed in other universities. Lectures by Krishna Bhardwaj on classical political economy, Mukherji on general equilibrium and Rao on econometric techniques made imprints in us that remained forever.
The Economics Centre over the years produced a range of scholars, bureaucrats, policy makers, social activists and other civil society actors. They adorned the top institutions in India and abroad, rugged valleys of tribal settlements, renowned media houses, became the advisors to the Head of the Governments and, of course, became the cream of the political spectrum both at the national and state level. The images of classrooms with long desks, huge blackboards and scattered ceiling fans come vividly. New Campus was just being built. All walked almost a kilometre from the hostels and dormitories to the classrooms. Very few had bicycles and none had cars. Posters, slogans, cartoons and pamphlets of all hues and varieties made the hostel mess come alive. The library was a tall nine storey building and many of the students reached there by 8:45 in the morning just to get a seat under the fan.
JNU always came alive at night. The liveliest moments began at 9:30 at night with lectures by Piloo Mody to Namboodiripad and Rajni Kothari to Irfan Habib. Discussion hovered around condemnation of emergency in India to the Iran-Iraq war, harsh conditionality of International Monetary Fund loans to India, heinous excesses of the Khmer Rouge-Pol Pot regime in Kampuchea, Mujahideens in Pakistan triggered by the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan, use of bonded labour in the 9th Asian Games in Delhi and, of course, the negotiations on the Cray SuperComputer with the United States. Yasser Arafat, Fidel Castro and even Muammar Gaddafi were then the heroes who addressed the 7th Non-aligned Summit in Delhi in 1983. JNU provided the widest possible opportunities and demanded utmost accountability from each student, teacher and staff members.
'Gaon, garib aur kisan'
Many of us were aligned to a conspicuously powerful voice in the campus known as 'free thinkers'. Even then, terms like reforms, liberalisation, privatisation, structural adjustment, multinationals and market were literally considered alien and pariah to India's development ethos and strategies. Trained within the well-defined precincts of such schools of thought, Nirmala Sitharaman has come a long way to say in her budget speech, 'so if before-independence, India Inc. understood 'Swadeshi', today they understand 'Make in India'. We do not look down upon legitimate profit earning. Gone are the days of policy paralysis and license-quota-control regimes. India Inc. are India's job-creators. They are the nation's wealth creators. Together, with mutual trust, we can gain, catalyze fast and attain sustained national growth. I wish to propose a number of initiatives as part of a framework for kick-starting the virtuous cycle of domestic and foreign investments.' However, her sub-conscious immediately takes her back to the JNU ethos when she once again unfurls her innerself, 'I submit that our Government keeps Antyodaya at the core of all its efforts. At the centre of everything that we do, we keep 'gaon, garib, aur kisan''.
Promoting research
Many of us in the teaching profession remain deeply perturbed by the deteriorating conditions in the higher education domain in India. A key attribution has been the quality of research and meagre funds devoted to research at the institutional level. The networking and interconnections in research among the institutions both within the country and outside has been at a dismal state. It has been a huge loss of opportunity that has sharply eroded a distinctly enviable comparative advantage we started with. In her budget speech, the finance minister has rightly proposed to establish a National Research Foundation (NRF) to fund, coordinate and promote research in the country. NRF will ensure that the overall research ecosystem in the country is strengthened with focus on identified thrust areas relevant to our national priorities and towards basic science without duplication of effort and expenditure. The funds available with all Ministries will be integrated in NRF and adequately supplemented with additional funds.
One of the very crucial thrust areas for research must be the repositioning of the Indian Himalayas in four different contexts. First, the Himalayas as the water towers and originating ecologies for the major river systems and its contrastingly rich bio-diversity. Second, the context of climate change and changing determinants of the monsoon matrix and serious institutional laggardness in the hill and mountain areas on natural resources and disaster management. Third, a conscious re-configuration and re-negotiation of geo-strategic criticality of the Himalayas by neighboring countries. And finally reemergence of Himalayas as the orthodox bastion of trans-border nature-pilgrimage-trade-connectivity sub-regional system.
Unlike the 1950s and 1960s, these critical national interest variables, strategic parameters and non-traditional determinants remain totally marginalised in India's development map. Even the newly set up NITI Ayog could not really comprehend the space this omnipotent geography deserved. Given the depth and scale of China's Belt and Road initiatives, reassertions of Himalayan identities in the sovereignty dynamics of Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Afghanistan and Pakistan, the proposed NRF must devote a significant portion of resources, institutional capacities, skill formation and knowledge regeneration in the Himalayas. The Report of the Task Force on the Himalayas appointed by the prime minister in 2008 adequately deals with these issues. In the absence of declining stake-holding of the mountain states in the Indian political firmament, this report must have gathered thick dust on the shelves of the former National Planning Commission.
Some of these concerns are reflected and addressed as indicated by the enhancement of economic assistance to traditional development partners like Bhutan, Nepal and Afghanistan in this budget and also in the specific project like that of the North East Industrial Development Scheme. Only a more nuanced and focused intervention could start the process of reengaging the intellectual, natural and geo-strategic heritage in the Indian Himalayan system.

Budget not limited to outlay, focus on outcome, says PM Narendra Modi
By Press Trust of India | Mumbai | Last Updated at December 04 2019 20:33 IST
Topics Narendra Modi
The BJP-led government's budget reforms have created a new work culture and are transforming the socio-economic landscape of the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said here today.
The government, he said, is working in the times of disruption and discontent. "Our budget is not limited to outlay, its focus is on outcome. Our reforms in budget making and presentation have created a new work culture and are transforming the socio-economic landscape," he said. Modi was speaking after inaugurating the 'Magnetic Maharashtra' Global Investors Summit in suburban Bandra.
"We are moving in a direction where the state is policy driven, governance is performance driven, government is accountable and democracy is participative," he said. "We are working in times of disruptions and discontent," Modi added. In the last three and half years, the government has transformed the country from being a fragile five' nation to one now aspiring USD 5 trillion GDP, he said. "I am sure that Maharashtra will become the first trillion dollar economy in the country. Maharashtra's development is representative of changes in the country," he said.
A country progresses only when it has a vision and works for inclusiveness, Modi said. "Potential, policy, planning and performance leads to progress." He said the government in the last three years has repealed 1,400 laws and the new ones are being written with the intent of simplification, not to complicate (things). On investments, he said there is a healthy competition among states to attract investments as per their strengths.
"What started with Gujarat is visible all across the country now. I congratulate Maharashtra government for the work on ease of doing business and making it easier for investors," he said. The 'Samruddhi corridor' (between Mumbai and Nagpur) will help boost agriculture and agriculture-based industries, he said.
On the Centre's development initiatives, Modi said, "We will create 1.5 lakh wellness centres in bigger gram panchayats". Besides, Modi said, 10.5 crore people have been accepted under MUDRA scheme and Rs 4.60 lakh crore has been disbursed to small businesses.

The No. 11 Wildcats prance on the Toros to win their fifth straight
Javier Hernandez, Social Media Editor|February 25, 2022
Wildcat Wright Jr. on Feb. 24 against the Toros.
Junior guard Colby Orr broke a defender on his way to hit a 3-pointer to give the Wildcats a comfortable lead to secure the win. Chico State Men's Basketball, who are freshly off being ranked as No .1 in the west region, dominated the Cal State Dominguez Hills Toros.
The No. 1 seed for each region gets to host the regional part of the NCAA tournament.
A fun fact about the Toros: forward Andre Ball is cousins with current NBA players LaMelo and Lonzo Ball.
The Toros started off hot hitting their first three shots to go up 7-0 within the first few minutes of the first half.
Sophomore forward Breenan Wheeler said they just had to weather the storm as the Toros started off by making their shots.
"Basketball is a game of runs," Wheeler said. "They went on their run early and we were able to answer."
Regaining their California Collegiate Player of the week, senior forward Malik Duffy would hit a 3-pointer to cut the Toros run short.
The Toros kept rallying and gained their biggest advantage at 16-7 with 13 minutes remaining in the first half.
The Wildcats then locked in and went on an impressive 27-5 run, giving them a 34-21 lead with two minutes remaining in the first half.
Sophomore forward Kelvin Wright Jr. said this run was made possible by head coach Greg Clink's instructions during the timeouts.
"He gave us a pep talk," Wright Jr. said. "We just turn it up and get right to it."
The Toros closed the half on a 8-2 run, closing the gap on the Wildcats' lead to 36-29. Duffy had already put up 17 points by the end of the first half.

After back-to-back buckets from senior guard Kevin Warren and Wright Jr., the Wildcats pushed their lead to 47-34 with 16 minutes remaining in the second half.
Three minutes later, a jumper from Duffy gave the Wildcats their largest lead of the game at 56-38.
The Wildcats cruised their way to a 77-61 victory over the Toros. Duffy led the way with a season high of 27 points, Warren added another 20 points and Wright Jr. recorded his second double-double of the season with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

The Wildcats defense had come to play once again, as they held the Toros to 37% from the field and 31% from beyond the arc.
Clink said defense is the key to success for the Wildcats.
"We talk about it every single day and work on it every single day," Clink said. "Defense will always be the number one emphasis on this program and we are constantly a great defensive team."
Despite having an impressive game, Wright Jr. said he is not a big stat guy.
"I just play how I play," Wright Jr. said. "I do my best in giving my team the best chance to win."
Duffy said his big night can be credited to his teammates for finding him when open and using the Toros' own game plan against them.
He said he saw his first three shots go in, which gave him confidence for the rest of the game.
"They weren't doubling the post, and I used that to my advantage," Duffy said.
Chico State Men's Basketball will host the East Bay Pioneers in Acker Gym at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 26. This will be their last regular season game of the year. Prior to the game seniors Isaiah Brooks, Joshua Curls, Malik Duffy, Colby Orr and Kevin Warren will be celebrated during their senior night.
Duffy said the goal is to send the seniors off on a good note.
"It is our last guaranteed home game, like I always say, we just have to stick together and have fun," Duffy said.

Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos (, literally in English: "Panathenaic Athletic Club" or Panathinaikos A.C.), also known simply as Panathinaikós , is a major Greek multi-sport club based in the City of Athens. Panathinaikos is one of the most successful multi-sport club and one of the oldest clubs in Greece. The name "Panathinaikos" (which can literally be translated as "Panathenaic", which means "of all Athens") was inspired by the ancient work of Isocrates Panathenaicus, where the orator praise the Athenians for their democratic education and their military superiority, which use it for benefit of all Greeks.

It was founded by Giorgos Kalafatis in 1908 as a football club, when he and 40 other athletes decided to break away from Panellinios Gymnastikos Syllogos following the club's decision to discontinue its football team. It is amongst the most popular clubs in the country and one of the biggest worldwide, based on the number of its sports departments. It is the club that introduced in Greece a number of sports, as it was the first, or amongst the first teams, in football, basketball, volleyball, field hockey, table tennis and handball, while they were also pioneer in the creation of women's teams in basketball and football.

Panathinaikos' teams and individual athletes have won numerous titles and have made notable participations in domestic and international competitions. The basketball and football teams of the club are the most successful Greek teams in terms of achievements in the European competitions. The football team of Panathinaikos is the only Greek team that has reached the UEFA Champions League final (in 1971) and also the semi-finals twice (in 1985 and 1996). It is also the only Greek football team that has played for the Intercontinental Cup. The basketball team of the club is the most successful in Greece and one of the most successful in Europe, with six European championships, one Intercontinental Cup and two Triple Crowns. The teams of Panathinaikos have played overall in 15 European and international finals (in football, basketball, men's volleyball and women's volleyball).

In the individual sports, Panathinaikos has a remarkable tradition in the athletics, cycling, shooting, fencing and boxing departments. It has produced numerous athletes; World champions and European champions, winners at the Olympic, Mediterranean and Balkan Games.

History

1908–1945

Football Club of Athens

Football made its appearance in Greece at the end of the 19th century. In 1908, a young athlete of Panellinios, Giorgos Kalafatis, dismayed by his club's decision to discontinue its football team, left with 40 other athletes and founded "Podosferikos Omilos Athinon" (Football Club of Athens). Konstantinos Tsiklitiras, the great Greek athlete of the early 20th century, played as goalkeeper for the new team.

Panathenaic Athletic Club
The team of Kalafatis was renamed to Panellinios Podosferikos Omilos (PPO) – i.e. "Panhellenic Football Club" – in 1911. In 1918, it was decided that the official crest of the club would be the trifolium, symbol of unity, harmony, nature, and good luck, an idea of player Michalis Papazoglou. The officials of the club were looking for a universal, non-nationalistic or localistic symbol, aiming to represent the whole Athens at the country and further at the world.

Papazoglou was also the main instigator of the Panathenaic Idea, the idea for the creation of a new club -for the Greek standards- which will participate in as more sports as possible (something that would by adopted later by all the major Greek clubs). With the help of the others of the leading four of the club (Kalafatis, Panourgias and Nikolaidis), this came true. In 1919, Kalafatis was a member of the Greece national football team that participated in the Inter-Allied Games in Paris. There, he collected informations also about basketball and volleyball (sports unknown then in Greece) and after his return to Athens, started his efforts on creating new teams for the club.

In 1924, the club took its final and current name "Panathinaikos Athlitikos Omilos (PAO)" (Panathenaic Athletic Club), from now on a multi-sports club. During the next decades, with main contributor Apostolos Nikolaidis (considered Patriarch of the club), Panathinaikos not only will create teams almost in every sport, but they will be consecutive champions for many years in most of them.

The athletics department was founded in 1919. In the same year, Panathinaikos was one of the first clubs in Greece to form a volleyball team. The first dynamic presence of the team is dated back in the years 1927–1929 with many popular players of the time such as the historical member of the board Apostolos Nikolaidis as well as Athanasios Aravositas, Goumas, Arg. Nikolaidis, Papageorgiou and Papastefanou.

In 1922, the basketball department was founded, also one of the first in Greece, and it has since developed into the most successful basketball team in the country and one of the most successful in Europe. In 1924, the table tennis department was founded, in 1926 the tennis department and in 1928 the cycling, shooting and field hockey departments. The swimming, water polo and handball departments were created in 1930.

In the 1928 Summer Olympics, for the first time, the parade of nations started with Greece. The athlete of Panathinaikos Antonis Kariofillis became the first Greek who started the parade.

Panathinaikos won the football championship in 1930 under the guidance of József Künsztler with Angelos Messaris as the team's star player. Other notable players of the era were Antonis Migiakis, Diomidis Symeonidis and Mimis Pierrakos. They beat rivals Olympiacos 8–2, a result that still remains the biggest win either team has achieved against its rival. In 1937 the women's basketball team was created, being the first in the country.

During World War II and the dark years of the Axis occupation of Greece, the athletes of Panathinaikos played a significant role. The football player Mimis Pierrakos was killed during the Greco-Italian war, while Michalis Papazoglou with Dimitris Giannatos (founding member of the basketball team) later participated in the resistance group of Jerzy Iwanow-Szajnowicz, an athlete of Polish origin of Iraklis Thessaloniki and secret agent of the British, and succeeded in destroying three German airplanes and sinking three small warships. They were arrested, tortured and finally Giannatos and Ivanof were executed.

1946–1990

After the war, the boxing department was re-founded in 1946, the diving department was created in 1947, the weightlifting department in 1959, the chess department in 1960, the fencing department was re-founded in 1960, the gymnastics department in 1962, the waterskiing department in 1963 and a wrestling department in 1965.

Panathinaikos' hardcore fans are called Gate 13 and are the oldest union of supporters in Greece. Gate 13 was founded in 1966. Furthermore, in the 1966 European Athletics Championships, the pole vaulter of the club and 13 times Greek champion, Christos Papanikolaou, won the silver medal.

The volleyball club has demonstrated many titles and honours due to the fact that the team roster has always included some of the top volleyball players in Greece. The first generation was that of the 1960s with Andreas and Nikos Bergeles as well as Iliopoulos, Leloudas, Chasapis, Emmanouel, Perros and Fotiou who opened the road for the next generations.

In 1970, Christos Papanikolaou jumped  to capture the world record. It was the first pole vault over .

Panathinaikos soon dominated Greek football along with rivals Olympiacos and AEK and, although they are second in domestic titles, they have done better than any other Greek club in the European competitions. In 1971, Panathinaikos became the first and only Greek team – so far – to have reached the final of a European competition, when they faced Ajax in Wembley Stadium for the European Cup, losing 2–0. In the late 1970s, when football became professional in Greece, the club's football department passed to the hands of the Vardinogiannis family. In the following 30 years the team won the Greek championship 7 times, while in Europe the team reached also the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League two more times, in 1985 and 1996.

In 1974, the table tennis team reached the semi-finals of the ETTU Cup. In 1978, the modern pentathlon department was founded and in 1980, the judo department. An important achievement for the volleyball team was the participation in the final of the CEV Cup Winners' Cup in 1980. During the following years, Panathinaikos continued to perform well in Greek volleyball with players such as Kazazis, Tentzeris, Gontikas (later president of Panathinaikos F.C.), Galakos, Dimitriadis and Margaronis.

The archery department was founded in 1981 and a futsal department in 1990.

1991–2000

Another successful period for the volleyball team was the seasons 1994–95 and 1995–96 when Panathinaikos won two Greek Championships in a row with Stelios Prosalikas as head coach and Andreopoulos, Triantafyllidis, Filippov, Spanos, Chatziantoniou, Ouzounov, A. Kovatsev, S. Kovatsev, Karamaroudis and Tonev as players.

The men's basketball department became professional in 1992 and since then is owned by two pharmaceutical magnates, the brothers Pavlos and Thanassis Giannakopoulos. In 1996 in Paris final-four (F4), Panathinaikos was the first Greek team to win a European Champions' Cup (now called Euroleague), beating Barcelona in a unique final, by 67–66. In September of the same year the team also won the Intercontinental Cup, prevailing by 2–1 wins over Olimpia of Argentina (83–89, 83–78, 101–76). In the same year, the football team reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.

In 2000, in the F4 of Thessaloniki, Panathinaikos were the Champions of Europe for the second time, beating Maccabi 73–67 in the final.

The sixth Euroleague triumph for Panathinaikos BC came in Barcelona in 2011, after defeating Maccabi 78–70 in the final. Panathinaikos BC became so, the second most successful club (behind Real Madrid) in the history of the competition.

In 2013, a new sports department was founded for the first time after many years. It is the rugby team, which was announced on 7 November 2013, while the re-foundation of the field hockey department and the creation also of a baseball team was announced in 2014.

On 29 December 2016, following the current trend of sports clubs getting involved in electronic sports, the club announces the establishment of an eSports section.

In December 2018, Panathinaikos proceeded to the foundation of Wheelchair Basketball department.

Crest

In 1918, Michalis Papazoglou proposed the trifolium as emblem of Panathinaikos, symbol of harmony, unity, nature, and good luck. Georgios Chatzopoulos, member of the club (later President) and director of the National Gallery, took over to design the emblem for the club. Up to the end of the 1970s, a trifolium (green or white) was sewed on the heart's side on the jersey of the club΄s teams.

With the beginning of professionalism in the Greek football, the crest of the FC was created, accompanied by the club initials and the year of founding (1908). The basketball team uses also since 1992 its own logo.

In 2014, the direction of the club introduced a separate crest for the whole club and all the amateur departments.

Supporters

According to the most recent polls, Panathinaikos is one of the most popular clubs in Greece, with nearly 30,2% of the fans supporting them, and the most popular in greater Athens and the region of Attica. They have also a large fanbase in all Greek prefectures, in Cyprus and in the Greek diaspora. They have the largest fanbase among high educated people and the Greek upper class (traditionally representing the old Athenian society), while they are popular among middle and lower class also.

The main organized supporters of Panathinaikos are known as Gate 13 (est. 1966), which consists of around 80 clubs alongside Greece and Cyprus. Gate 13 style of supporting includes the use of green fireworks, large and small green flags, displaying of banners and especially the creation of colourful and large choreographies, noisy and constant cheering and other supporters stuff. Gate 13 has over the years become a part of the club by affecting club decisions and by following the club on all occasions. PALEFIP (Panhellenic club of Panathinaikos friends) is the other major supporters organization. Panathinaikos F.C. currently is the only supporter-owned football club in Greece.

Panathinaikos supporters hold both records of the most season tickets sales (31.091 in 2010) and highest average attendance for a unique season (44.942 in 1985–86 season) in the history of Greek football.

Regarding the basketball, the fans of Panathinaikos, notable for their passionate support, also hold continuous attendance European records, such as the 20,000 fans against Benetton Treviso in 2006 and the 30,000 (over 25.000 officially) viewers against FC Barcelona Bàsquet in 2013.

The club is quite popular among artist cycles (actors, musicians, singers etc.), as well as some notable politicians.

A Plea for Philosophy
Conor Roddy
Letter to the Editor:
Muskegon Community College is considering a drastic revision of the ASA that would involve leaving the natural and formal sciences untouched, but cutting the number of social science and arts and humanities general education requirements by one third, and eliminating both the Aesthetic Values and the Ethics and Logic categories, among others. This proposal would make it possible for students to graduate with an Associate in Science and Arts degree without having taken a single course from the Arts and Humanities Department in art, music, philosophy, or theater, and cause enrollment in these disciplines to plummet. There is a case to be made for revising the ASA to bring it into line with the MTA and thereby to simplify students' curricular planning, but there are better ways to achieve this goal than by slashing critical course requirements.
An old saying has it that philosophy bakes no bread, but philosophy does more than that; it is the crucible of the sciences. The greatest scientific work ever written on what we now call physics was Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. The transition from alchemy to chemistry proper was advanced by Ibn Sina (Avicenna) and other Muslim philosophers who argued against the theory of the transmutation of base metals into gold, paving the way for a revival of the atomic theory of the Greek philosopher Democritus. Biology was established as a science by Aristotle, economics by the Scottish philosopher Adam Smith, and sociology by the French philosopher Auguste Comte. Claude Shannon, the "father of information theory," was exposed to George Boole's binary logic in a philosophy course that he took at the University of Michigan to fulfill his liberal arts requirements, and realized that "Boolean variables," the possible values of which are either true or false, could be physically implemented in electrical on/off switches, out of which logic gates capable of doing Boolean algebra could be built—the serendipitous insight that led to the development of digital computers and ushered in the information age. If Shannon had not taken that philosophy course, you would probably not be reading these words over the internet today. (And if you click on the first link of a random Wikipedia article, and keep doing so for subsequent articles, 97% of the time, you end up at the "Philosophy" entry—try it!) The word "academic" comes from the Academy, the name of Plato's philosophical school in ancient Athens, and philosophy—etymologically the love of wisdom—is the "Ph" in the highest academic degree, the Ph.D. Historically, philosophy has "paid its way"; it is at the root of everything.
The stereotype of the unemployable philosophy major notwithstanding, philosophy pays its way for today's students too. According to the latest PayScale College Salary Report, the median early career pay for graduates with a bachelor's degree in philosophy is a competitive $48,700, and the median mid-career pay a highly competitive $89,400. The GRE (or Graduate Record Examination) is a standardized admissions test for graduate school, analogous to the ACT or the SAT. Year after year, philosophy majors score more highly than all other majors on two out of the three GRE sections (verbal reasoning and analytic writing), and well above average on the remaining quantitative reasoning section.
In any case, even if it were true that philosophy baked no bread, as the man George W. Bush called his favorite philosopher once said, "One does not live by bread alone." Philosophy can make you richer and smarter (and maybe even sexier if you do it in France), but ultimately the question is not what can philosophy do for me, but what can philosophy do to me? In her paper, "What You Can't Expect When You're Expecting," L.A. Paul argued that you cannot decide whether to become a parent by performing a cost-benefit analysis, since the "transformative experience" of parenthood would turn you into a new person with different preferences and values, and render your earlier cost-benefit analysis obsolete. The decision of whether to devote yourself to philosophy is comparable, even if the stakes are not so high. The consumeristic model of education and the corollary claim that eliminating gen ed requirements in subjects like philosophy is harmless because students with an interest in those subjects can always take them as electives is flawed for this reason. Few incoming college students have any clear conception of what philosophy even is—sadly, it is little taught in American high schools—and thus they are seldom best placed to make an informed judgment as to its intrinsic—as distinct from merely instrumental—worth.
I was emailed recently by one former student, Justin Becker, who told me that the philosophy gen ed requirement that he took with me was "the first time [he] was introduced to the idea that our beliefs should have good reasons to justify them." In the past he was susceptible to all kinds of conspiracy theories, and "believed the moon landing was faked, 9/11 was an inside job, big pharma was covering up that cannabis cures cancer, etc." "I just wanted to let you know that since my first class with you years ago, I've become an avid philosopher," he wrote. "I've found a lot of comfort in philosophy—it really helps ward off the existential horror. I've spent the last few years fully immersing myself in moral philosophy and steadily constructing and revising my personal moral framework, and I credit you with getting me started. Studying philosophy has completely changed my life—for the better, I believe. So, basically you changed my life." (Justin gave me permission to quote him.) For the record, not all the feedback I receive is quite so enthusiastic, and all I did was spark a flame, but this young man's remarkable story constitutes a textbook case of the power of philosophy to address the epistemic crisis facing us in this fraught post-truth era.
In Book I of Plato's Republic, Thrasymachus, having cynically asserted that justice is whatever is in the interest of the stronger—i.e. that might makes right—is about to drop the mic when Socrates pleads with him to stay. "We are discussing no small matter," says Socrates, "but how we ought to live." So are we, in the social science and arts and humanities fields. Integrity, collaboration, and kindness are among the anti-Thrasymachian guiding values recently affirmed by MCC, and supported by the existence of our endangered Ethics and Logic requirement. Philosophy, as both Plato's Socrates and Aristotle famously noted, begins in wonder, a theme that was developed at length by the great (if greatly flawed) German philosopher Martin Heidegger. Heidegger urged his readers to take "the step over into the more wakeful glimpse of the wonder—the wonder that a world is worlding around us at all, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are and we ourselves are in their midst, that we ourselves are and yet barely know who we are, and barely know that we do not know all this." Let's not debase our liberal arts degree here at Muskegon Community College in a way that would predictably result in far fewer of our students getting to take their own first steps into that wide world!

Uspensky V. Two Years of Cataloguing of the Tibetan Collection in the St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies: Some Problems and Perspectives // Manuscripta Orientalia. Vol. 2. No. 1. March 1996. P. 51—53.
Успенский, Владимир Леонидович
The St. Petersburg Branch of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (henceforth the Institute) possesses one of the world's largest collection of the Tibetan xylographs and manuscripts. Outside Asia it is the largest collection of such kind. Its origin goes back to the eighteenth century, and it had been increasing rapidly up to the mid-twentieth century.
At present the Tibetan collection of the Institute numbers about 20.000 items, the amount of works' titles has never been counted (surely, there are numerous duplicates there). The most voluminous are the collections of Tibetan books printed in the Peking and Buriat monasteries. The books printed in Central Tibet and, especially, in Amdo are also numerous.
Needless to say that the cataloguing of such a big amount of block prints is a very hard and time-consuming work. Attempts were made in the 1930s to make a card catalogue, but the Second World War calamities and the transferring of the Institute to another building soon after the end of the war, along with many other misfortunes of the time, prevented this work from being completed. At present a huge cardfile represents a sad memorial to this work, as the library numbers, which the cards refer to, have changed.
In 1992 the Institute signed an agreement with the Asian Classics Input Project (henceforth ACIP) on the IBM-based computer cataloguing of the Tibetan collection...

A blue Star of David is seen dangling from Netanyahu's 'collar' while Trump holds the leash.
The Times said that the cartoon was printed by the newspaper's international edition.
'A political cartoon in the international print edition of The New York Times on Thursday included anti-Semitic tropes, depicting the prime minister of Israel as a guide dog with a Star of David collar leading the president of the United States, shown wearing a skullcap,' the Times wrote in an editor's note that it says will appear in Monday's international edition.
The cartoon was drawn by political cartoonist Antonio Moreira Antunes of the Lisbon-based newspaper Expresso
'The image was offensive, and it was an error of judgment to publish it.
'It was provided by The New York Times News Service and Syndicate, which has since deleted it.'
The New York Times Syndicate is a service that 'curates' content from the U.S.-based newspaper and offers it to other publications worldwide.
The cartoon itself was drawn by political cartoonist António Moreira Antunes of the Lisbon, Portugal-based newspaper Expresso.
Though the newspaper deleted the cartoon, it did not explicitly apologize.
The cartoon and the newspaper's explanation ignited outrage on social media.

Israeli journalist Anshel Pfeffer tweeted: 'The NY Times cartoon of Netanyahu as guide-dog for blind Trump would also have been a harsh but fair depiction of their relationship.
'But the moment Trump has a kippah and Netanyahu a Star of David, it veered sharply in to antisemitic territory.
'Truly incredible it was published.'

Seth Frantzman tweeted: 'The NYT #antisemitic cartoon numerous clear antisemitic elements [including] 'putting a yarmulke on the US president in a negative way' and 'putting the face of the prime minister of the Jewish state on a dog'
'1. Putting a yarmulke on the US President in negative way...2. Putting the face of the PM of the Jewish state on a dog...3. Using a Star of David on the collar...4. Implying the US is "blindly" led by Jews and/or Israel.'
Dan Shapiro, the former American ambassador to Israel, tweeted: 'There is really no excuse for the New York Times to publish such a blatantly anti-Semitic image as the one in this cartoon.
'Not acceptable in any way.'
Melissa Weiss tweeted: 'This cartoon, which appeared in The New York Times' international edition yesterday, is vile and inexcusable, especially at a time when attacks against Jews around the world are reaching levels not seen in decades.'
The cartoon was intended as a criticism of the Trump administration's perceived pro-Israel bias.
Palestinian leaders have said Trump cannot be an honest broker for peace after he broke with long-standing U.S. policy and recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital in 2017 and moved the American embassy to the city last May.
