A million hands murdered Ari Fuld
Posted on September 22, 2018	by jrlclemson
Ari Fuld, obm, hy"d, left his Efrat home for a routine shopping trip, but was knifed to death 16 September 2018 by a Muslim terrorist youth in the parking lot of the supermarket where my wife and I have bought wine and other foodstuffs when visiting the Efrat area, as late as May this year.
Aftermath of Murder of Ari Fuld
The attacker was neutralized, but not killed, by bullets from the mortally wounded Ari and another civilian.
Jack Englehard wrote in Arutz Sheva two days later:
"A lone assailant, we are told, stabbed to death American-born Israeli hero Ari Fuld. But the story is far deeper than the cold fact.
"The cold fact is plain enough. Fuld, 45, father of four, warrior for Israel, was murdered near his home in Gush Etzion while shopping on Sunday.
The murderer has been identified as a 17-year-old Arab terrorist, who saw a Jew and stabbed him in the back.
"Fuld was stabbed in the back by more than one terrorist. More than a million hands gave the knife to this Arab. All are complicit. All are guilty.
"Guilty are the politicians who signed the Oslo Accords, which placed a confederacy of low-life gangsters, the PLO, on equal footing with Israel, a nation founded through Divine promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This nation led by Moses, conquered by Joshua, were commanded, by Moses, to "never break down before the enemy." (Deuteronomy)
"But break down they did, these politicians, in 1993, when a piece of paper sold out Jewish sovereignty throughout the land in favor of a "peace process" that gave "the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination." To the "Palestinian people" (who exist nowhere in the history books) this was a sign of weakness and a call for jihad.
"Oslo stabbed Ari Fuld in the back.
"Guilty are the politicians who rejuvenated a defeated Yasser Arafat by bringing him back from Tunis to wage one terror campaign after another.
"They did not know that when he said peace he really meant war? Could they really be that gullible and stupid?
"Jewish stupidity stabbed Ari Fuld in the back.
"Guilty are the politicians and leftist Hebrew newspapers who thought giving up Gaza would be a wonderful idea.
"The eviction of Israelis from Gush Katif stabbed Ari Fuld in the back.
"Continued land swaps and "painful concessions" and lopsided prisoner exchanges convinced the enemy that the Israelis can be played.
"Painful concessions stabbed Ari Fuld in the back.
"Persistent talk of a "two-state-solution" proved to the Palestinian Arabs that the Israelis can be fooled, tricked and broken down.
"A two-state solution stabbed Ari Fuld in the back.
"Guilty are the members of the United Nations and the European Union who consistently cheer for the Arabs and jeer for the Jews…and greet every visit from PLO/Fatah Islamic terrorist Mahmoud Abbas with a standing ovation, coupled with shouts of Encore…Encore when he inflames and incites against Jews and the Jewish State.
"The nations stabbed Ari Fuld in the back.
"So did Obama when, through abstaining, he let pass UN Security Council Resolution 2334, which denied Jewish rights to practically everywhere.
"Obama stabbed Ari Fuld in the back.
"Meantime, the murderer (whom Ari Fuld wounded during the unprovoked attack) is recovering and "resting comfortably" in an Israeli hospital.
"Some would call it typical Jewish decency and compassion. Others might call it a persistent pattern of breaking down before the enemy.

The Donald Trump Negotiations Academy
Posted on June 15, 2018	by jrlclemson
Caroline B. Glick wrote June 15, 2018 09:27
Originally published in Jerusalem Post
Trump's playbook involves doing essentially the opposite of what American and Israeli negotiators have been doing for the past 30 years.
"We didn't learn this week whether North Korea will give up its nuclear weapons. Only time will tell.
"But we did learn that US President Donald Trump knows how to negotiate.
"All of the negotiations experts insist the opposite is true. "How could they agree to a presidential summit without first guaranteeing its end product?" they sigh, knowingly.
""Trump's showmanship is dangerous and counterproductive," they sneer.
""At the end of the day, for this to work, Trump will have to copy Barack Obama's nuclear deal with Iran," they insist.
"Dennis Ross, who mediated the negotiations between Israel and the PLO that led directly to the largest Palestinian terrorism campaign against Israel in history, and Wendy Sherman, who negotiated Bill Clinton's horrible nuclear deal with North Korea in 1994 and Obama's disastrous nuclear deal with Iran in 2015, as well as all their esteemed colleagues have taken up their pens and stood before the cameras and clucked about how Trump's Singapore Show is amateur hour.
"But what we saw in Singapore, for the first time since Ronald Reagan went to Reykjavik, was a US president who actually knew how to negotiate with America's enemies.
"Indeed, Singapore was the first time a Western leader from any nation has gotten the better of his opponent at the negotiating table.
"There are three dangers inherent to the process of negotiating with enemies. And to understand how Trump succeeded where everyone since Reagan has failed, it is important to keep them in mind.
"First, you have no guarantee that the other side will agree to a deal.
"Trump can make the case for denuclearization to Kim. But he can't make Kim agree to denuclearize.
"Since the US has not defeated North Korea militarily, only Kim can decide whether to go along with Trump or not.
"The first inherent danger of negotiating then, is that the other side walks away and – as PLO chief Yasser Arafat did in 2000 – chooses to make war instead of peace. Negotiations give credibility to the other side and may, as a consequence, make war a more attractive option for your opponent after a period of negotiations than it was when the talks began.
"The last two dangers inherent to negotiations have to do with the actions of Western negotiators and leaders.
"Democratically elected leaders have a greater tendency than dictators to become convinced that their political survival is dependent on their ability to deliver a deal. Once that happens, once a leader believes that the risk of failure is too great to accept, he becomes a hostage of the other side.
"In 2000, then-prime minister Ehud Barak believed that his only chance of political survival was to convince Arafat to accept a peace deal with Israel. As a consequence, Barak stayed in the negotiations even after Arafat rejected his offer and tanked the Camp David summit in July. He remained in talks with Arafat and his deputies even after they launched the most murderous terror war Israel had ever seen.
"The third danger inherent to negotiating with your enemy is related to the second danger. If a leader believes his future depends on getting a deal, the likelihood that he will accept a terrible deal skyrockets.
"Obama made reaching a nuclear deal with Iran the chief aim of his second term. To achieve this goal, Obama abandoned every redline he set for himself.
"He let Iran continue enriching uranium. He made no demand that Tehran curtail its ballistic missile development. He agreed to gut the inspections regime to the point of meaninglessness. And so on down the line.
"Obama was so averse to coming home empty-handed that he agreed to a deal that far from blocking Iran's path to a nuclear arsenal, paved Iran's path to a nuclear arsenal. And he threw in $150 billion in sanctions relief to pay for Iran's efforts to achieve regional hegemony as a sweetener.
"With these risks in mind, we turn to the Singapore Summit. Trump's playbook involves doing essentially the opposite of what American and Israeli negotiators have been doing for the past 30 years.
"Five lessons stand out.
"1. Don't make light of your counterpart's failings, play them up.
"For decades, Israeli negotiators praised Arafat as a man of courage and his successor Mahmoud Abbas as a moderate. Obama and his team praised Iranian President Hassan Rouhani as a moderate. By praising their opponents, the Israelis and Americans justified making concessions to their counterparts, without requiring them to reciprocate. In other words, Israeli and US negotiators put the burden to prove good intentions on themselves, rather than their opponents, who actually had no credibility at all.
"Trump took the opposite approach. After North Korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile last July, Trump called Kim "Little Rocket Man" and a "madman."
"By polarizing Kim and blaming him for the growing danger to US national security, Trump made the case that Kim had to prove his good intentions to Trump, not the other way around, as a precondition for negotiations. Kim was required to release three American hostages and blow up his nuclear test site.
"He was the one who needed to prove his credibility. Not Trump.
"2. Intimidate, don't woo, your opponent's friends.
"Trump's three predecessors all begged the Chinese to rein in the North Koreans. In doing so, Clinton, George W. Bush and Obama handed all the leverage to Beijing. To curb North Korea even temporarily, the Chinese demanded continuous US concessions, and they received them.
"Trump on the other hand, threatened China. He linked US-China trade deals to Chinese assistance in curtailing North Korean threats and aggression and agreeing to a US goal of denuclearizing China's client state.
"To prove his seriousness, Trump managed to lob 58 missiles at Syrian targets in retaliation for Bashar Assad's use of chemical weapons while he was eating dinner with Chinese President Xi Jinping at his golf club in Florida.
"Trump's linkage of US-China trade to North Korean denuclearization has paid off. Xi cut off North Korean coal exports to China and limited fuel shipments from China to North Korea. A month later, Kim announced he wanted to meet with his South Korean counterpart.
"3. Make it easy for your side to walk away from the table and hard for the other side to jump ship.
"Trump accomplished this goal through a series of moves. First, he and Defense Secretary James Mattis threatened to destroy North Korea. Second, Trump coupled the threats with the largest increase in defense spending in memory. Third, Trump has repeated, endlessly, that he has no idea whether talks with Kim will lead to an agreement, but he figures it's worth a shot. Finally, after Kim insulted National Security Adviser John Bolton, Trump canceled the summit.
"Not only did Trump's polling numbers not suffer from canceling the summit, they improved. As for Kim, Trump's nixing the summit taught him two lessons. First, he learned the price of failure.
"Second, Kim learned that unlike his predecessors, Trump doesn't fear walking away. Indeed, he'll walk away over something that none of his counterparts would ever dream of jumping ship for. If Kim wants to negotiate with Trump, he will respect Trump's choices.
"4. Appoint hard-line negotiators.
"Kim's attack on Bolton was reasonable from his perspective. Ever since Clinton signed his failed nuclear deal with Kim's father in 1994, Bolton has been the most outspoken critic of nuclear diplomacy with North Korea in Washington. Bolton opposed – rightly – every diplomatic initiative and agreement every administration adopted with Pyongyang. There is literally no one in Washington more skeptical of the chances that an agreement with North Korea will succeed than Bolton.
"And there he was on Tuesday, sitting at the negotiating table in Singapore.
"For the past generation, American and Israeli leaders engaging in negotiations with their enemies have given their opponents a say – indeed, they have routinely given them veto power – over the members of their negotiating teams. US and Israeli leaders used their team roster as yet another tool to appease the other side. This, while ignoring the concerns of their domestic constituencies.
"Trump took the opposite approach. After setting up the talks in a manner that minimizes the cost of walking away from the table for him and maximizes the cost for Kim, he chose negotiators that would both minimize the chance of reaching a bad deal and assuage and encourage his constituents that he can be trusted. Both Trump's supporters and detractors know that so long as Bolton is at the table, the chance of the US agreeing to a bad deal is fairly close to zero. Trump's rising poll numbers and the fact that the majority of Americans support his negotiations with Kim show that his efforts have paid off politically.
"5. Take control of the clock.
"Reporters in Singapore were shocked when Trump informed them Tuesday afternoon that he and Kim were about to sign an "agreement." But sure enough, shortly thereafter, they were shepherded into a grand hall for a formal signing ceremony.
"A quick look at the "agreement" showed that there was really nothing there beyond platitudes.
"Trump's many critics were quick to take him to task for his "deal" because it was purely aspirational.
"But they missed the point. The point wasn't to reach a serious agreement. The point was to sign a piece of paper that said "Agreement" on it.
"By signing the piece of paper, Trump took all time pressure off of himself and his team. They have their deal. He signed it. In a ceremony with a fancy fountain pen. They have all the time they need now to do what it takes to get Kim to cough up all of his nukes.
"On the other hand, time is working against Kim.
"US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Wednesday that the economic sanctions on North Korea will remain in place until after North Korea has denuclearized in a verifiable manner. In other words, assuming Kim cares about his economy and is in this for the money, Kim will want to reach a deal and implement it as quickly as possible.
"Trump's critics in the US ratcheted up their attacks against his summitry with Kim on Wednesday and Thursday. But everything they say just discredits them. Trump is only dealing with a nuclear armed North Korea because all of his predecessors enabled Pyongyang's nuclear armament through feckless diplomacy. He's only there to try a new approach because their old approach gave Kim the theoretical ability to nuke New York.
"And now that he's actually negotiating, it is clear that what they really fear is not that he will fail like they did. They fear that he will succeed, like only he – a loudmouthed real estate mogul and reality show star from Queens who couldn't care less what they think of him and happened to write a book called The Art of the Deal – can do.

School Shootings and Israel
"When terrorists attacked a school in Maalot in 1974, Israel did not declare every school a gun-free zone. It passed a law mandating armed security in schools, provided weapons training to teachers and today runs frequent active shooter drills. There have been only two school shootings since then, and both have ended with teachers killing the terrorists.
Israel proves the NRA's arguments
Arutz Sheva, Tzvi Lev, 15/02/18 20:49
Wednesday's horrific shooting in Florida has reignited the gun rights debate in the United States over the Second Amendment to the US Constitution, adopted in 1791, which states:: "… the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
In the past, proponents of limiting civilian access to firearms have extolled Israel as having the proper approach to limiting mass shootings, pointing to the numerous legal hoops Israelis must jump through in order to be granted a gun license.
"In Israel, gun ownership is a privilege rather than a right," wrote Public Radio International in November. "There is no such thing as a right to bear arms in Israel," the Huffington Post preached after the 2016 shooting in an Orlando nightclub that left 50 dead.
Newsweek praised Israel for obligating its citizens to "show genuine cause to carry a firearm, such as self-defense or hunting". The message is clear: Israel has the right approach in curtailing access to firearms, and the United States would be well advised to tread the same path.
In reality, Israel's gun policy is living proof of the arguments the American gun lobby has been making for years.
Gun rights advocates contend that the way to stop mass shootings is by ensuring that there are always well-armed citizens present who can neutralize the shooter. As NRA chairman Wayne Lapierre always says, "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun". A bedrock of the NRA's philosophy is that criminals will always acquire guns illegally, and draconian gun laws only render law-abiding citizens defenseless.
When the knife intifada erupted in September 2015, the Israeli government's response was to ease the process for the civilian populace to obtain weapons.
Enter Israel: When the knife intifada erupted in September 2015, the Israeli government's response was to ease the process for the civilian populace to obtain weapons. After a particularly bloody Jerusalem shooting attack that killed four, then-Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan drastically changed the gun laws in order to significantly raise the number of armed civilians on the streets. Instantly, graduates of Special Forces units and IDF officers with the rank of Lieutenant and above were permitted to purchase guns at their will, security guards were allowed to bring their guns home after work, and the minimum age for a license was reduced from 21 to 18.
Erdan explained that "civilians well trained in the use of weapons provide reinforcement in the struggle against terrorism", while Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat called for every resident to carry a gun, and was even photographed traveling the city carrying a Glock 23.
In addition, the overwhelming majority of terror attacks in Israel are stopped by armed civilians, not law enforcement. For example, the terrorists in the 2016 Sarona market attack were stopped by armed passersby. A pistol-carrying tour guide put an end to the 2017 ramming attack in Arnona that left four soldiers dead.
In Israeli eyes, guns are a valuable deterrent against terrorism. In fact, terrorists have told the Shin Bet internal security service that they often target haredi Jews due to the high likelihood that they are unarmed.
Gun control supporters would answer that the mandatory military service that every Israeli undergoes justifies the trust Israel has of its citizens. However, this argument doesn't hold water. The vast majority of IDF soldiers aren't combat soldiers and are certified as 02 riflemen. To be 02 requires one to shoot between 40 and 70 bullets. The pistol course needed to obtain a license takes less than four hours. It is a far cry from the highly trained population that the Left imagines.
Gun control has been proven to be a dismal failure in Israel. The Israeli Arab communities are rife with illegal weapons, with some police estimates putting the number of unlicensed weapons in the Arab sector as high as 500,000. Think about that for a second: The most heavily guarded borders in the world and a highly professional Shin Bet are still not enough to prevent criminals from obtaining illegal firearms.
It is an approach that the Americans should take to end the constant slaughter of innocents.

Truman, Trump and Trumah
In Efrat, Israel, live i nspirational friends with whom Renee and I spent a few nights in 2015, and with whom we expect to spend a few more nights this summer, including a Shabbat. The husband, born in Chicago, recently wrote the thoughts behind the following.
Think about the common denominators between two American presidents who have made such great contribution to Israel and the Jewish people.
TRUMan – Gave the order for the US to recognize the State of Israel.
TRUMp – Gave the order for the US to finally recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel.
TRUMah – The Hebrew word for contribution.
FAKE News – Chicago Tribune headlines declaring Dewey the winner of the 1948 election.
FAKE News – Hillary Clinton has 85% chance to win.
Is the comparison of the two presidencies not strikingly uncanny?
The nation is like a mighty lion;
When it is sleeping, no one dares wake it.
Whoever blesses Israel will be blessed,
And whoever curses Israel will be cursed. Numbers 24:9
Over 300 years ago King Louis XIV of France asked Blaise Pascal, the great French philosopher, to give him proof of the supernatural. Pascal answered: "Why, the Jews, your Majesty—the Jews."
Will neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:4
May the President and his administration continue to be blessed with success and leadership.
But I will curse those who curse you.
And through you I will bless all the nations. Genesis 12:3

Trump's great gifts to Israel and America
Posted on December 10, 2017	by jrlclemson
Caroline Glick wrote in Jerusalem Post,
"With his recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital on Wednesday, US President Donald Trump gave a Hanukka gift to the Jewish people. But he also gave a Christmas gift to the American people.
"Trump's gift to Israel is not merely that 68 years after Israel declared Jerusalem its capital, the US finally recognized Israel's capital.
"In his declaration, Trump said, "Israel has made its capital in the city of Jerusalem, the capital the Jewish people established in ancient times."
"By stating this simple truth, Trump fully rejected the anti-Israel legacy of his predecessor Barack Obama.
"In his speech in Cairo in 2009, Obama intimated that Israel's legitimacy is rooted in the Holocaust, rather than in the Jewish nation's millennial attachment to the Land of Israel. Whereas the Balfour Declaration and the League of Nations Mandate rooted the Jewish people's sovereign rights to the Land of Israel in its 3,500-year relationship with it, Obama said that Israel is nothing more than a refugee camp located in an inconvenient area. In so doing, he gave credence to the anti-Israel slander that Israel is a colonialist power.
"By asserting the real basis for Israel's legitimacy, Trump made clear that the Jewish people is indigenous to the Land of Israel. He also made it US policy to view Israel's right to exist, like its right to its capital city, as unconditional.
"Trump's extraordinary gift to Israel was an act of political and moral courage. It was also a stroke of strategic brilliance.
"To understand why it was both courageous and wise, consider the political, institutional and geopolitical contexts in which Trump acted.
"Politically, Trump made his declaration in a poisonous political environment at home.
"The Democrats responded to Trump's victory last year over Hillary Clinton by seeking to delegitimize his victory. To this end, they chose to oppose everything that he says and does.
"And so, despite their long-held and recently voiced support for US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, leading Democratic senators including New Jersey's Cory Booker and California's Diane Feinstein condemned Trump's declaration.
"The Democrats' rejection of Trump's move was an astounding act of hypocrisy. But it was also predictable.
"Trump had to know the Democrats would oppose him. And he also had to know that in their opposition, they would empower US allies in Europe and the Arab world to publicly condemn his move in a manner they would be loath to do if the Democrats supported him. And still, despite this sure knowledge, Trump took action.
"And it wasn't only the Democrats, the Europeans and the Arabs Trump willingly opposed. His chief opposition came from within his own government.
"Since 1949, the State Department has driven US policy on Israel and on the Middle East as a whole. And since 1949, the State Department's Israel policy has refused to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"Even worse, it worked to undermine any international support for Israel's sovereign rights to Jerusalem.
"For instance, a 1962 State Department memo to then-president John F. Kennedy's national security adviser McGeorge Bundy laid out the law on Jerusalem.
"The memo told Bundy that not only did the State Department oppose Israel's decision to make Jerusalem its capital. It detailed the efforts the State Department had made over more than a decade to lobby every government that opened diplomatic ties with Israel not to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital and not to locate its embassy in Jerusalem.
"Over the years, various presidents have taken issue with the State Department's policy toward Israel. These disputes have been informed both by genuine disagreement with Foggy Bottom's institutional hostility toward Israel and by political concerns. The American people have been supportive of Israel, and that support has only grown over the years.
"But despite their genuine disputes and political concerns, no president who opposed State Department hostility toward Israel seized control over US Israel policy from the State Department.
"That is, no one did until Trump did.
"On Wednesday, in a very public way, Trump wrested control over US policy toward Israel generally, and Jerusalem specifically, from the State Department. The consequences of Trump's seizure of the reins over US Middle East policy are enormous, and entirely positive for the US itself. Indeed, two in particular are great gifts to the American people.
"In his declaration, Trump said, "Today we finally acknowledge the obvious. That Jerusalem is Israel's capital. This is nothing more or less than a recognition of reality. It is also the right thing to do. It's something that has to be done."
"Under State Department control for 68 years, US foreign policy relating to Israel specifically and the Middle East as a whole was made in deliberate defiance of reality. In the case of Jerusalem, rather than recognize the plain fact that Jerusalem is Israel's capital city, the State Department insisted on pretending that Israel has no capital. This position was a central component of an overall US Middle East policy that the State Department similarly based on a defiant rejection of observable reality.
"So it happened that for decades the US ignored the multiple, systemic pathologies of the Arab and Islamic world and opted instead to predicate its policies on the false assumption that the problems of the Middle East are rooted in Israel's refusal to sufficiently appease the Arab world.
"By rejecting the State Department's position on Jerusalem, and by noting that its position is rooted in a rejection of reality, Trump initiated a new course for US Middle East policy rooted in reality for the first time in three generations.
"The salutary implications of a reality-based policy for America are as self-evident as the fact that Jerusalem is Israel's capital.
"This brings us to the second positive advantage America gained from Trump's Jerusalem declaration.
"Over the span of decades, a US president's power to determine foreign policy was measured by two things: the amount of daylight between White House statements and traditional State Department positions, and the disparity between US foreign policy positions and the positions of Western European governments and the EU. The greater the distance between White House positions and those of the State Department and Europe, the more power the president held over US foreign policy.
"The only exception to this rule was Obama. Like the State Department, and like Europe, Obama's foreign policy was predicated on the need for the US to appease its enemies at the expense of its allies – first and foremost Israel. It was also based on the State Department's long-held assumption that the US should align its policies with Europe. Given his convictions, Obama could advance his agenda in harmony with the State Department.
"During Obama's tenure, US allies and enemies alike were conditioned to believe that the US would not challenge them and that the State Department controlled US foreign policy. The Europeans came to believe that despite their military and economic dependence on the US, it was the US that had to take their policies into account when it fashioned its foreign policies – and not the other way around. This was certainly the case in the Middle East where Obama eagerly joined them in appeasing Iran and turning the screws on Israel.
"As for America's enemies, Obama and his State Department made it clear to the North Koreans and Iranians that American threats were a joke. The US would do nothing to seriously challenge them. And in the interests of appeasing them, the US was willing to sell out all of its allies.
"With this track record, it was clear that Trump would need to take dramatic action to show US allies and enemies alike that the rules of the game had changed in Washington.
"Trump's recognition of Jerusalem did the job.
"By recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital in defiance of Europe and the Arabs and in the course of wresting control of Middle East policy from the State Department, Trump showed US allies and enemies alike that he is in charge. And he is willing to act even when doing so provokes US enemies to threaten retaliation, when he believes that his action advances US interests.
"Trump's move wasn't merely strategically brilliant. It was also a political masterstroke.
"Consider the liberal Union for Reform Judaism's contradictory responses to his recognition of Jerusalem. In the lead-up to Trump's declaration, URJ President Rick Jacobs condemned Trump's anticipated move which he claimed would harm chances for peace between Israel and the Palestinians.
"Jacobs's statement – which was supported by key groups within the Reform movement – effectively divorced Reform Judaism from Zionism. By giving the PLO a veto over Israeli sovereignty in Jerusalem, Jacobs said that the Reform movement thinks PLO claims to Jerusalem are stronger than Jewish claims.
"This self-evidently anti-Zionist position apparently didn't go down well with the Reform rank and file. Because less than 24 hours after Trump gave his speech, the URJ issued a new statement praising Trump's move.
"And the URJ leaders aren't the only ones with egg on their face.
"Trump risked political support in the opinion polls by deepening US support for Israel in the face of strident opposition from the Democrats, the State Department, the media, the Europeans and the Arabs because he believed it was the right thing to do.
"And as it works out, it was also an astute, if incredibly gutsy political move.
By standing up to the Democrats who just months ago called for him to take the very actions he took, but now opposed them because it was Trump adopting them, Trump exposed the likes of Booker and Feinstein as hypocritical opportunists. At the same time, he took ownership of a policy of supporting Israel that enjoys broad and deep public support.
"To sum up then, by recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital, Trump made clear that US support for Israel is not conditioned on anything. Israel, the Jewish state, is supported by the US because it deserves US support as an allied democracy.
"Trump strengthened himself against his political opponents by taking ownership of a deeply popular foreign policy position.
"He took control of US foreign policy from a State Department that opposes his policies. He made reality, rather than the defiance of reality, the foundation of US Middle East policy.
"He put US allies and enemies on notice that he is calling the shots in US foreign policy. And he took a large step toward restoring US credibility as a superpower.
"Oh, and he accomplished all of these things without spending a dime.
"For his gift to Israel, Trump now enters the pantheon of Israel's friends in the annals of Jewish history.
"For his gifts to America he has taken his place among the most astute American statesmen.
"And for his political and economic mastery, he enters the ranks of the geniuses of American political history.

The Muslim reaction to recognizing Jerusalem
Posted on December 6, 2017	by jrlclemson
"The Muslim reaction to recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital shows the true violent face of Islam. Buckle your seat belts.
Mark Langfan writes in Arutz Sheva ,
"We are repeatedly scolded for not agreeing to the opinion that "Islam is a peaceful religion," that "the Islamic Radical Terrorists don't represent true Islam" and so on and so forth. Except when it comes to Israel, Islam proves it is not a religion of peace, but a religion of pure unadulterated terrorism. [Emphasis mine. JRL] Take, for instance, the Islamic reactions to President Trump's declaration that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Virtually every Islamic or Arab leader's reaction is laced with threats of extreme violence against anything and everybody. The Islamic reaction to President Trump's "Jerusalem is Israel's capital" declaration exposes the true face of Islam as a religion of extreme violent terrorism."Arutz Sheva reported that "Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, the Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, the supreme Islamic institution of Sunni Muslims, on Tuesday warned that "the gates of hell" will open if the United States goes through with plans to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and move its embassy to Jerusalem." So, here you have the "Grand Imam" of the "supreme Islamic institution of the Sunni Muslims" proclaiming a clear grotesquely violent terroristic threat against everyone and everybody if Jerusalem is declared Israel's capital. This is the Grand Imam of Egypt, a country that is supposedly at peace with Israel!
"One would think the Grand Imam would have been more concerned about the hundreds of Sufi Muslims who were just murdered in the name of Sunni Islam in the northern Sinai a week or so ago. One would have thought the Grand Imam would have wanted to use this Trump Jerusalem Declaration moment to show how peaceful and non-violent Islam was so as to set a good example for all Muslims. But no, the Grand Imam shows he is just as much a bloodthirsty Muslim terrorist as the Muslim terrorists that murdered over 300 praying Muslims in a mosque.
"Can anyone claim the Grand Imam doesn't represent mainstream Islam?
"Can anyone claim the Grand Imam doesn't directly represent Islam itself?
"Can anyone claim the Grand Imam doesn't really understand Islam or the Koran?
"All this proves is that we were fed a steady pablum of lies by President Obama, and National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster that ISIS and al Qaeda and all of other Islamic terrorists "aren't following Islam," and that "we are not at war with Islam." The Islamic reaction to Trump's Jerusalem Declaration proves that al Qaeda and ISIS are not the exceptions of Islam, but its central pillar. It proves that peaceful Muslims are an imaginary exception that doesn't exist.
"Islam will never allow any Palestinian leader to share any part of Jerusalem with Israel.
Unfortunately, the Islamic hysterically violent and extreme reactions to Trump's declaration prove we are at war with all of Islam. When it comes to Islamic leaders, it appears incontrovertible that the lunatic terrorists are in control of the Islamic asylum.
"But, most of all, the Islamic reactions to Trump's Jerusalem Declaration prove the Two-State solution is, has been, and always will be a total fraud and lie from the start. Islam will never allow any Palestinian leader to share any part of Jerusalem with Israel. Any Palestinian Arab leader who compromised on any part of Jerusalem would have "Betrayed Islam" and quickly become a dead Palestinian leader, just as Sadat became a dead Egyptian leader.
"Forget the katyusha rockets from a Palestinian Arab 'West Bank' State, forget that entity stealing all of Israel's water, forget Iran taking over the 'West Bank', and forget the millions of Palestinian Arabs pouring into the 'West Bank', pushing to pour into pre-1967 Israel. Israel's presence in any part of Jerusalem, or any part of the Muslim Wakf of the Levant, would always have been the raison d'etre of th Muslim world to continue satisfying its blood lust to murder every Israeli west of the Jordan River.

In 1970 while on Sabbatical study leave at Landbouwhogeschool, the Dutch Agricultural University, in Wageningen, mentor Kees (C. T.) de Wit obm showed me a pasture where the only tillage for multiple years had been slit seeding of grasses and legumes into the clay soil. Good soil tilth and thriving vegetation was evident. His point was to eliminate plowing and disking, allowing vegetation to maintain soil health.
"In the first paragraph of the landmark 1943 book Plowman's Folly, Edward H. Faulkner said, "The truth is that no one has ever advanced a scientific reason for plowing." Nonetheless, 40 years after that publication cracked the foundations of agricultural science, most farmers still plow. Why?
"The most obvious (or at least the most frequently claimed) reason that soil is tilled is to loosen it so oxygen and water can reach the area where roots will grow. It seems logical that friable, loose earth would allow roots to spread evenly and to proliferate, and this is indeed the case. But using a moldboard plow doesn't necessarily produce such soil. Plowing and disking a field results in a soil with broken structure lying atop a heavily compressed plow pan (the undisturbed layer that the plow doesn't reach). This broken-up soil is very prone to being compacted by rainfall. In addition, many passes must be made over the field with very heavy equipment, the wheels of which further compress the soil. Untilled ground starts off being less compacted than a heavily machine-worked field, and it stays that way. What's more, earth that has become compressed by tillage or machinery will return to a less compacted state after a few years of no-till planting. http://bit.ly/2iO52jf
Over the years I have read about minimum tillage or no-till management of soil and crops. Agricultural Engineering professional conferences have espoused the concept and supporting equipment. The most obvious example to my eye has been soybeans drilled directly into stubble as soon as wheat was cut, revealing strips of green in the golden standing straw visible from the road. Makes sense.
But I've never farmed crop or pasture acreage where I could try out the no-till concept. Articles emphasizing seedbed preparation, incorporating organic matter and fertilizer before planting seeds or transplants into my garden always led me to rototill as deeply as possible.
Cover crops I have also read about, but never practiced. Motivation and laziness are to blame. As a result each spring has found my beginning garden covered in dead crabgrass, weeds, fescue, etc., again encouraging rototilling to my mind, not wanting to burn and not willing to rake it off, thinking to incorporate what litter was there, so it would decompose.
Early this 2017 fall, after seeing cover crop seeds on http://sowtrueseed.com/, while chasing Bradford Watermelon seed, I began thinking about pursuit of a cover crop this winter on one or both of my bedded garden spots, one of which had not been cropped in 3 years.
My interest in garden winter cover crop was ratcheted up by a recent conversation with David Bradshaw, neighbor and retired well known Clemson horticulturist. His experimental winter treatment of Wrens Abruzzi Rye and Crimson Clover, knocked down and spring incorporated, resulted in yields of okra, cucumber and squash as I remember it, with no additional fertilizer, comparable to those under recommended rates of 10-10-10. The combination of N from the legume (peak when crimson clover heads begin to turn red) and decomposition of the biomass from the rye provided what the crops needed. Sustainable farming to my mind.
Browsing uncovered http://brownsranch.us/ emphasizing cover crops and zero-till. Gabe has increased organic matter content in North Dakota from 1.9% to 6.1% over the past 20 years, and infiltration rate from 0.5 to 8 in/hr.
"Today, the Brown Ranch includes about 3,000 acres of restored native rangeland and improved pasture producing cattle, pork and poultry, and 2,000 acres of no-till, cropland producing corn, peas (grain and forage types), spring wheat, oats, barley, sunflowers, vetch, triticale, rye and alfalfa, plus a great diversity of cover crops. No insecticides or fungicides have been used on the ranch for over a decade, herbicide use has been cut by over 75 percent and no synthetic fertilizer has been used since 2008. Corn yields average 20 percent higher than the county average. http://bit.ly/2iMlXD5
"Mycorrhizal fungi grow in healthy soils and are responsible for nutrient transfers between plants and soil biology. The most critical thing in a plant's life is its relationship with mycorrhizal fungi, which is why tillage and synthetic chemicals should be avoided. http://bit.ly/2iOtjpw
And, earthworms proliferate under no-till practices. See http://bit.ly/2iRDCt9.
"Earthworms have significant impacts on soil properties and processes through their feeding, casting, and burrowing activity. The worms create channels in the soil, which can aid water and air flow as well as root development. The shallow-dwelling worms create numerous small channels throughout the topsoil, which increases overall porosity and can help improve water and air relationships. Nightcrawlers create large vertical channels, which can greatly increase water infiltration under very intense rainfall or ponded conditions. Nightcrawler channels can also aid root proliferation in the subsoil, due both to the ease of root growth in a pre-formed channel and the higher nutrient availability in the cast material that lines portions of the burrow. Earthworm casts, in general, are higher in available nutrients than the surrounding mineral soil, because the organic materials have been partially decomposed during passage through the earthworm gut, converting the organic nutrients to more available forms.
Earthworms improve soil structure and tilth. Their casts are an intimate mixture of organic material and mineral soil and are quite stable after initial drying. The burrowing action of the worms moves soil particles closer together near burrow walls, and the mucus secreted by the worms as they burrow can also help bind the soil particles together. Increased porosity, plus mixing of residues and soil, are additional ways that earthworms improve soil structure. http://bit.ly/2iOUd0D
So, my next question is how to incorporate cover crops and no-till into my vegetable gardening.
I like the results of David Bradshaw, so after rototilling with skid steer, have mixed Crimson Clover seed and winter rye (not Wrens Abruzzi) into 5 pounds of grits and dropped the mixture, using a Scotts Turf Builder Classic Drop Spreader, onto the two 8-ft wide beds above the bee hives, about 60 ft long. Those beds had been built wide 4 years ago so I could rototill them, and had added bark mulch and horse manure. After sowing I rolled the area with the wide tires of the lawn tractor to get soil-seed contact. Soil was damp. I was late, sowing late October, but germination was fine. Rye is now 2 – 3 inches tall; clover has put on true leaves.
I also rototilled the bamboo infested beds above 130, about 2 weeks ago, and ordered Wrens Abruzzi Rye from Hancock Seeds near Dade City FL. I sowed the remaining 1.5 lbs Crimson Clover and about 3 lbs Rye today after another light pass of rototilling. Rolled as above. Yes, I'm late. Beds are of similar size.
I also rototilled the 10-20 ft wide strip between driveway and bamboo, same day, and today sowed 3 lbs Austrian Winter Peas (by hand; seed would not go through seeder) and 3 lbs Hairy Vetch. We'll see how deer respond.
Question: How to knock down the vegetation next year and seed?
"So, you've harvested the veggies from your garden and planted a mixture of cover crops in their place in order to protect and nourish the soil. How do you make the transition back from cover crop to your chosen vegetables the following season? It might be tempting to till and turn those cover crops over into the soil, but this is the last thing you should do. You do need to terminate the cover crop somehow though. There are a number of different ways to do this. You could:
Stomp the cover crop into the ground with your feet or a board (simply attach two rope handles to a 2×4 board and then use the board to step down the crop)
If the cover crop has started to form seed heads, you can kill it off by rolling crop roller or small barrel over it
Cut the growth down and leave the residue on top (although it works better if it's rolled or stepped down)
"Once the cover crop has been killed off, you're ready to plant your vegetable seeds. For a small garden, Gabe recommends using a hoe to part the cover crop remains over to the side. Create a small slice in the soil, drop in your seeds and cover with a small amount of soil. If you're planting a transplant, simply move the cover crop aside, dig the hole and plant as normal. http://bit.ly/2iMBS48
With the heavy biomass litter I expect, using a hoe seems laborious. So how to get seed in the ground? Transplants I can see. But seeds?
My father had what is now called a jab planter, whereby one or a few seeds are dropped from waist level down a tube into a divot made by jabbing the tool into the ground. He used it to plant watermelon, in hills. I haven't found one like his, but do find that Forest Service evaluated four similar at http://bit.ly/2BanXMb, preferring the Hatfield Transplanter, http://bit.ly/2iN1lKQ, apparently available only from Johnny's Seeds, and Almaco Hand Jab (expensive).
A jab planter might work well for hill dropped seed. But things like beans, at close spacing, ? Planet Jr? Through the litter?
Crabgrass, brought in with horse manure, and perpetually reseeding, has been much more problematic than weeds in my gardens. I may try Treflan watered in by rainfall next spring. "A one-half inch rain or its equivalent in sprinkler irrigation must be received within 24 hours or poor weed control will result." It is labeled for Asparagus, Carrot, Celery, Cole Crops, Cucurbits, Okra, Pepper, Potatoes, Southern Peas, Tomatoes, Beans, Greens, and Green Peas. See http://bit.ly/2BaKf07.

Parable of the Haircut
A Modern Parable
One day a florist went to a barber for a haircut. After the cut, he asked about his bill, and the barber replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The florist was pleased and left the shop.
When the barber went to open his shop the next morning, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen roses waiting for him at his door.
Later, a cop came in for a haircut, and when he tried to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I cannot accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week.' The cop was happy and left the shop.
The next morning when the barber went to open up, there was a 'thank you' card and a dozen donuts waiting for him at his door.
Then a Congressman came in for a haircut, and when he went to pay his bill, the barber again replied, 'I can not accept money from you; I'm doing community service this week' The Congressman was very happy and left the shop.
The next morning, when the barber went to open up, there were a dozen Congressmen lined up waiting for a free haircut.
And that, my friends, illustrates the fundamental difference between the citizens of our country and the politicians who run it.
As Ronald Reagan said: BOTH POLITICIANS AND DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN….AND FOR THE SAME REASON!
If you don't forward this, I question your sense of humor and patriotism. No, nothing bad will happen. However, you must live with yourself knowing that laughter is not in your future. 🙂
Remember, politicians got us into the mess we are in. Let's oust them and start over with more ordinary but courageous citizens, as our founding fathers were. Jerry

NY Times to critics – shut up
Posted on June 8, 2017	by jrlclemson
Jack Englehard in Israel National News
They hired her to monitor the paper's integrity…and they fired her for doing her job.
She had two strikes against her. One – she criticized The New York Times first for publishing an op-ed written by imprisoned terrorist Marwan Barghouti, and then for neglecting to mention his crimes – at least 26 Israelis murdered from his work as an unrepentant jihadist.
Two – she complained that the paper's constant pummeling of President Donald Trump was overly aggressive and had crossed "over the line."
She wrote that there ought to be consequences for such un-journalistic behavior.
Instead – she became the consequence.
Her name is Liz Spayd and for 11 months she served as the paper's "public editor," which translates as house watchdog, or reader's representative.
So what was her reward for being our representative, demanding, as we do, truthful journalism?
She got fired. This happened a few days ago to the girl who must have been snubbed in the hallways and left to sit alone in the cafeteria.
So they hired her to monitor the paper's integrity…and they fired her for doing her job.
Let that be a lesson to anyone in the building who even THINKS about speaking his, or her, mind.
Spayd's firing means that the Times won't even pretend to be a fair-minded mirror of our times.
Speak up, and you're done. That goes for every newsroom that uses the Times as its oracle. They follow the leader.
Objective reporting?
These days every headline must conform to OMG proportions for anything related to Trump…and Israel, always.
The paper has been shameless and quite ridiculous in its attempt to smear Trump as a fellow-traveler to the Russians. It's done by rumor, gossip, whispers, innuendo, hearsay and unsubstantiated accusation. Those are Red Scare tactics that were used by HUAC and McCarthyism to ruin people. It's how Inquisitions are done.
Even as it calls itself the paper of record and serves as the template for the rest of the news media, it's a paper intended entirely for radical leftists.
They love it when the paper goes after Trump and the Jews, and it was probably the left that made Arthur Sulzberger Jr. get rid of her.
Sulzberger says there is no longer a need for an ombudsman. The paper can be trusted to serve as its own judge. Liberals cheered. They too know what's best.
They complained that Spayd was "controversial" – and what is controversial to them?
Anyone who departs from the gospel according to Tom Friedman and Paul Krugman is a danger.
Liz Spayd's firing is the latest evidence that Big Brother still wants us under heel.
So if a single lonely voice is silenced because it demurs from what is official policy – how is the Times of today any different from the Pravda of yesterday?
No dissent then and there; no dissent permitted here and now.
Which means that so far as getting news that is trustworthy and reliable, we are not in America anymore. We are back in the USSR.

Attorney General David Eby speaks in the B.C. legislature, Oct. 5, 2021. (Hansard TV)
B.C. NDP to make annual subsidy for political parties permanent
$1.75-per-vote payments to be indexed to inflation
B.C. political parties will collect $3.25 million this year from a taxpayer subsidy based on votes received in the 2020 election, and the NDP government is moving to ensure that the payments will increase in future years.
Attorney General David Eby presented legislation Wednesday to make the annual allowance permanent, extending it beyond the original 2022 sunset clause and adding a cost-of-living measure to increase it in future years. The bill adopts the recommendation of an all-party committee that heard views on the subject this spring.
Premier John Horgan introduced the per-vote subsidy at $2.50 per vote after the 2017 B.C. election, reversing a campaign promise that getting "big money" donations from business and unions out of politics would not lead to a subsidy. The payment has since declined to $1.75 per vote, with reimbursement of half of each parties' election expenses on top of that.
A 2022 sunset clause was put in place to expire after the next scheduled election. After the snap election of October 2020, the B.C. NDP collected more than $2 million in election expense reimbursements, while the B.C. Liberals collected more than $1.5 million and the B.C. Greens got back more than $300,000. Combined with the annual per-vote subsidy, the program pays out as much as $30 million over four years to parties in what Horgan referred to as "a transition fund that will be gone by the end of this mandate."
After the 2017 election, the defeated B.C. Liberal Party voted against the subsidy, but was the largest beneficiary after it passed, collecting nearly $1 million based on getting the largest number of votes received in 2017.
RELATED: B.C. Greens didn't seek subsidy, Andrew Weaver says
RELATED: B.C. Conservatives, Rural B.C. Party get subsidy too
The MLA committee heard a series of submissions from the B.C. NDP, lobbying their own majority government, and the B.C. Federation of Labour, calling for the subsidy to continue. NDP representatives said the subsidy should be continued and go back up to $2 per vote, indexed to inflation. The union group said it should be raised back to the $2.50 mark, to add to voluntary personal donations up to $1,200 per year, for which individuals receive tax credits of up to 75 per cent.
The only other party represented in the public hearing was the Libertarian Party of B.C., which called for all subsidies to be ended. The B.C. Taxpayers Federation brought its campaign to end the subsidy, noting that a similar federal program was wound up in 2011, with parties fundraising on their own through the last three general elections.
"A $100 donation to Ronald McDonald House gets a tax credit of just over $20, whereas a $100 donation to a political party gets a tax credit of $75," Kris Sims, the federation's B.C. director, told the committee. "Isn't a tax credit that's three or four times more lucrative and generous than a charity that helps sick children's families enough for the political parties of B.C.?"

A1 GP SERIES - WET PRACTICE DAY FOR A1 TEAM MALAYSIA AT A1 GRAND PRIX OF NATIONS, MEXICO
25.02.2006: A1 GP SERIES - WET PRACTICE DAY FOR A1 TEAM MALAYSIA AT A1 GRAND PRIX OF NATIONS, MEXICO
Rain greeted the A1 Grand Prix field for the first practice session at the A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Parque Fundidora, Monterrey, Mexico today.
Alex Yoong, with previous experience at the track from his time in the American-based Champ Car series, was able to run strongly from the first time out in the A1 car.
In the first practice session Yoong used the time to reacquaint himself with the characteristics of the track, particularly with the wet conditions creating areas of standing water. Lying 10th quickest after the first hour of practice, Yoong was comfortable with his performance. In the second session he concentrated his efforts on car setup rather than quick times, finishing 18th quickest at its conclusion.
Yoong reviewed his day saying, "We're satisfied with our opening practice sessions. This morning the car felt good, but it was difficult in these weather conditions to really get the best from the car. This afternoon we weren't really going for a time, but putting our efforts in to making car setup changes, so our time is not representative of our potential performance on Sunday."
Jack Cunningham, Team Principal, A1 Team Malaysia adds, "Alex's knowledge of the track gives us a small advantage which are able to use to positive effect – so he doesn't need to run just to learn the track.
Due to the poor weather conditions and how dirty the track was today, we decided we wouldn't run that much in today's sessions and certainly wouldn't push for a time. We ran only fourteen laps this morning and sixteen this afternoon, using the sessions to learn an appropriate set-up for the car for the races just in case these are the conditions that we have on Sunday. We understand, from our research, that it's likely to be wet on Sunday.
In any case we're confident that there's more to come from Alex and that our overall position will be improved in the session tomorrow morning and in qualifying. We are back on track tomorrow morning at which time, weather permitting, we will push a little harder."
The A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Monterrey, Mexico continues tomorrow with a one-hour final practice session before qualifying takes place in the afternoon. A1 Grand Prix qualifying comprises four 'flying lap' segments, with the fastest two laps aggregated to determine the qualifying time and grid position for the first of the two races on Sunday.
8TV is the official Malaysian broadcaster of the A1 Grand Prix of Nations series.

What Do We Love About… Blade & Soul?
August 16, 2016 15:07 ( Articles, F2P News ) 0
What Do We Love About... Blade & Soul?
For our newest "What Do We Love About…?" article we're heading over to NCSoft's wuxia themed martial arts MMORPG, Blade & Soul. In the game players can create their own character and explore a rich world filled with dynamic quests and enemies, and battle through strategic PVE, Boss and PVP fights. Whilst the Wuxia genre is steadily getting more and more populated, here are the top things we love about this game:
Wuxia Theme
The Wuxia style of gameplay is very well done. Anyone who loves Wuxia novels and movies (such as Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) will instantly find some appeal with Blade & Soul, not just for its story but for the acrobatics and flair seen in both movement and combat. Players can dance around their opponents, leaping into the air and performing all manner of flips, twists and turns whilst interspersing them with deadly strikes. Outside of combat moving around the huge world is made all the easier as players can jump from mountains then glide down as though a leaf caught on the breeze as they descend to the bottom unharmed, or dash over the surface of lakes and rivers in true wushu style.
4 Playable Races
Players don't have to be human. Unlike other traditional wushu/wuxia MMORPGs players aren't only bound to human races in Blade & Soul, whilst the theme of Wuxia is strong in the game it isn't bound by the more traditional faux-Chinese history and so with that we see some varied non-human races. From the huge Gon who are a physical specimen to be feared, to the half-sized, cute rabbit humanoid Lyn and their bunny ears and feet, it adds a welcomed fantasy element to the game. Player's choice of race will determine their available classes; however each race has multiple classes to choose from and isn't stuck with a single style of combat.
9 Playable Classes
Players can choose from a variety of classes. Providing you're not after a specific class-race combination (as classes are locked to certain races) the game has nine available classes to play as, which is pretty impressive for a game that is only a few years old. Each class offers a unique play style, weapons, combat style and more so that players can feel the difference as they come up against other opponents' styles or play multiple characters. Each class has a difficulty level determining how hard it is to play or stay alive as that class; the Kung Fu Master relies on quick player reactions as the bulk of their damage is done by stopping and countering their opponent's attacks, and so is one of the hardest classes. When compared with the Summoner they have a summoned Familiar to help them in combat, as well as utilizing abilities that use an enemies' health to replenish both their own and their Familiars', making makes their survivability a lot higher and their general difficulty a lot lower.
Faction Combat
There are multiple factions in the game to align yourself to. Starting out with the main two player factions; The Crimson League and The Cerulean Order, which determines which clans a player can join, players can align themselves to different factions throughout the game. A number of NPC story focused factions and orders can be joined by a player and benefits and rewards earned by killing rival NPCs. However, with each faction players can equip that faction's uniform, in doing so they make themselves a target to any similarly dressed opposing faction, which opens up world PVP in almost any area of the world; ideal for those players that love a challenge and the thrill of unexpected random PVP encounters.
Soul Shield System
Customize your abilities with Soul Shields. Through the game players can discover and equip various Soul Shields, pieces of a full shield set that give players bonuses to their abilities and stats, increasing health, dodge ability, critical strike chances, etc. Each fragment is one eighth of a shield and players can have eight pieces equipped, by gathering fragments of the same set players will get cumulative boosts at 3 pieces, 5 or 8 fragments; this allows players to be flexible in their customization equipping any soul shield, but also gaining extra benefits for finding and equipping the same set's pieces.
So that's what we love with Blade & Soul, but more importantly what are some of your favourite things? What do you think could/should be added to our list that makes the game great? Let us know what you think in the comments below!

Q: How to check which python version is supposed to use Put the case that I have a bunch of python scripts all beginning either with #!/usr/bin/env python or with nothing (no shebang at all). Some of those scripts need python 2.7 (or any 2.x version), some of them need python 3.x and some of them can run on both (these check the python version themselves).
I am on a system with two versions of python: python2 and python3. The general python programm is just a symlink.
As this python symlink can change I want to edit the shebangs in the scripts to specify if this script should use python2 or python3. Is there any possibility/program/script to 'parse' a python script and determine if it should get run by python2 or python3?

A: PEP 394 - The "python" Command on Unix-Like Systems:

*

*... python should be used in the shebang line only for scripts that are
  source compatible with both Python 2 and 3.

*in preparation for an eventual change in the default version of
  Python, Python 2 only scripts should either be updated to be source
  compatible with Python 3 or else to use python2 in the shebang line.

In general, the same script could be run by both Python 2 and 3. It means that (at least for some scripts) you have to read the source and decide for yourself what Python version should be used.

Is there any possibility/program/script to 'parse' a python script and
  determine if it should get run by python2 or python3?

You could try to compile your scripts using python2 and python3 binaries, try:
$ python -mcompileall -h

If only python3 binary can compile a script, you could add python3 into the shebang.
Modernize, Futurize, Pylint packages could also help to find python2-only, python3-only scripts automatically.
lib2to3 allows you to detect python2 or python3 markers such the presence of a print statement in a source (Python 2 marker) or the presence of yield from in a source (Python 3 marker) but it is probably too low level.

A: First, put python2 or python3 on the #! line.  On *nix, when you try to 'execute' file directly, the OS should read the line and select the proper binary.  On Windows, omit 'usr/bin/env and use py.exe to run the file, which is now installed with the PSF CPython installer.  Example: tem.py contains
#! python2
import sys; print(sys.version)

At command line
C:\Users\Terry>py /programs/python34/tem.py
2.7.9 (default, Dec 10 2014, 12:28:03) [MSC v.1500 64 bit (AMD64)]

If I change 2 to 3 in file, output changes to 3.4.2.

The Fayetteville Observer is committed to diversity in our newsroom and our reporting
Leaders at The Fayetteville Observer believe that the newspaper's success depends on an inclusive and diverse workplace where its employees know they are valued and empowered.
The Observer and more than 200 other publications in the USA TODAY Network are committed to building and sustaining a workforce that reflects the diversity in the communities they serve. As part of the commitment to an inclusive culture, the newspapers are annually publishing the makeup of their newsroom staff.
This information, a snapshot as of July 1, 2022, includes the gender and racial makeup of the Observer's news workforces and its coverage area, as well as managers within the newsroom.
More:From the editor: The Fayetteville Observer is closer to reflecting our diverse community
More:Gannett newsrooms making steady progress in overall diversity
Observer leadership says a diverse and inclusive workforce will help the newspaper better connect and serve its readers and community partners.
More: The Fayetteville Observer newsroom directory
The American Community Survey by the U.S. Census Bureau asks two separate questions, one about Hispanic origin and one about race, allowing individuals to self-select from multiple options. However, to compare with internal Gannett employee information that asks individuals to mark only one option, we used the following categories: Hispanic or Latino (for ACS, regardless of any other race selected), White (not Hispanic or Latino), Black or African American (not Hispanic or Latino), Asian (not Hispanic or Latino), American Indian or Alaska Native (not Hispanic or Latino), Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander (not Hispanic or Latino), or two or more races (not Hispanic or Latino). All information on racial identity is provided voluntarily by employees. Gannett also allows an individual to not disclose their race or ethnicity.

Prince William crowned the world's sexiest bald man
Author Naimah Archibald-Powell @naimahrebelle
Prince William has beat the likes of Mike Tyson and Jason Statham and has been named the world's sexiest bald man.
Researchers used internet mentions to determine the winner and the Duke of Cambridge was crowned the winner after being described as sexy 17.6 million times online across varied platforms, articles, blogs and Google Searches.
Boxer Mike Tyson came in second with 8.8 million online compliments and actor Jason Statham was third with 7.4 million mentions.
Also making the list was Vladimir Putin,
Pitbull, The Rock, Vin Diesel and Patrick Stewart.
The study was carried out by cosmetic surgery specialists Longevita who said in a statement: "There are quite a few bald public figures we can feast our eyes on."
The news offers Prince William some positivity as the fallout from Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Oprah interview continues.
Prince William recently defended the royals and told reporters that they were not a racist family.
William was making an appearance at a school in east London when he was asked about the allegations raised by Meghan Markle in her controversial interview.
William said "We are very much not a racist family," in response to a question from Sky News and added when asked about brother Harry, "I haven't spoken to him yet but I plan to."

Home > Blog > Kinship > Relatives and Close Kin Step into Foster Parent Roles
The Biggest and Best Candy Cane Connection Yet
Treatment Foster Care in the Heart of Wisconsin
Relatives and Close Kin Step into Foster Parent Roles
Imagine being a grandmother, retired, living a relatively quiet life in your Milwaukee neighborhood. Now imagine opening your home to not just one or two, but four, children under the age of 10.
That's exactly what one SaintA client did recently when her granddaughters needed to go into out-of-home care.
As it turns out, she is far from alone. More and more relatives are stepping up to provide care for children removed from their parents. Non-related kin are also coming forward to provide what is known as kinship caregiving. Many who take on these roles do so very informally and without a lot of support.
An Emerging type of Caregiver
According a national count of foster homes and families, recently published in the Chronicle of Social Change, Wisconsin kinship caregivers make up more than 2,000 foster homes, with 39 percent of all youth in foster care living with relatives – that's above the national average. Of those relative caregivers, 10 percent are caring for children without financial support from a child welfare agency.
The Foster and Kinship Navigators at SaintA are changing all of that. "As kinship care has risen, so has the need for greater resources to help these emerging foster families navigate a complex system," says Jenny Keefe, SaintA Director of Family Services, in a recent letter to the Chronicle of Social Change.
"We work to help relatives and other close-kin understand the child welfare system and access resources vital to meeting the needs of children in their care."
Bursting with Love – and Also at the Seams
It was September of 2018, when SaintA placed four sisters with their grandmother, Ms. Scott (not her real name.) "Like most relative and kinship caregivers, she took these girls, between the ages of 3 and 9, into her home without hesitation," explains Shannon Roundtree, a Foster and Kinship Navigator at SaintA.
"She wanted the girls to stay together, keep their sibling bond, remain in their own school and be close to extended family."
Shannon helped Ms. Scott navigate the child welfare and court systems and secure basic resources for the girls. But there was one big problem: The house was small for five females to share.
With Shannon's encouragement, Ms. Scott took the extra step to become licensed, which means she now has access to formal support and training. More importantly, she has just enough financial stability to find a larger house and enroll the girls in more community programs in and around their neighborhood of origin.
Restoring Connections
"Relative and kinship caregiving minimizes trauma related to being removed from the home and improves child well-being," adds Jenny. "When a family connection is maintained, children have better behavioral and health-related outcomes."
Read our team's full letter in the Chronicle of Social Change to learn how Foster and Kinship Navigators can help all types of caregivers now and as we draw closer to the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) taking effect in Wisconsin in 2021.
